Hello. In the e-lecture Generative Grammar we saw that any theory capable of producing well-formed sentences and rejecting ill-formed sentences is referred to as Generative Grammar. And a central component of a Generative Grammar is the Fray Structure Component. In this e-lecture we will first show that there are several problems for simple Fray Structure Grammars. And we will then take these arguments to suggest two of the most popular variants of Generative Theories of Language, Transformational Grammar and Unification Grammar. These variants, which will be discussed in detail in a follow-up e-lecture, essentially have the same goals and share some common ground. Any Generative Theory of Grammar wants to provide a structural description of all and only, that is, the grammatical sentences of a language. The simplest grammar would simply list all the sentences of a language. Such a model, however, could not handle any novel sentences. Thus we need more complex grammars that involve at least two components. A Fray Structure Component, that is a rule component and a lexicon that contains information about the words of a language. Such a model is referred to as a Fray Structure Grammar. Within more complex models of grammar the PSG, the Fray Structure Grammar, functions as the basic component or base. Thus a Fray Structure Grammar of whatever type constitutes the core of any Generative Grammar. Let us look at its component in more detail. The Fray Structure Component of a Fray Structure Grammar consists of a set of symbols, that is, the syntactic categories. Here you find i-bar, adjectival phrase, verb phrase, determiner, noun phrase, and so on and so forth. And then secondly it consists of a system of rules, a system of Fray Structure Rules. With this rule system and here I have chosen a fragment of the so-called x-bar system, which is by no means complete, but I will use it for illustration purposes. With such a rule system we can generate several sentence hierarchies. Let us look at two of them. In this first example all rules have been used and here is the resulting hierarchical representation step by step. Rule number one expands the inflectional phrase IP into two branches, noun phrase and inflectional or i-bar. The noun phrase is expanded into an optional determiner which has been used here, an n-bar. These little deltas by the way in the terminal nodes are placeholders for actual words that will have to be added later. Rule number three expands n-bar into just a noun, the adjectival phrase which is optional has not been used here. Rule number four expands i-bar into the inflectional component and verb phrase. The verb phrase is expanded into verb-bar and verb-bar is finally expanded into verb, the optional noun phrase which could be part of a verb phrase is not used here. Alternatively you can also present such a tree by means of a lisp. I believe it or not there are several people who prefer such a list especially programmers who find that this representation is more explanatory than a tree that I have illustrated over here. A reasonable sentence using this structure could be something like the child passed sleep that is the child slept. Let's look at another example. In this example again all rules have been used but here rule number two has been used without the determiner option and rule number three has been applied twice in the subject noun phrase without the optional adjectival phrase and in the object noun phrase with the adjectival phrase and here is a result a suitable sentence could be John likes cold milk. By the way the use of phrase structure rules has a long tradition with various milestones. If you're interested consult my e-lecture phrase structure one for details. Let us now turn our attention to the second component of a phrase structure grammar the lexicon. Now the lexicon contains the information about the words of a language in its simplest form it pairs lexemes with grammatical category a set of determiners a set of adjectives that occur in an adjectival phrase nouns and verbs. Let us illustrate how then lexical insertion works. Here is a sentence structure that can be the result of the application of some of our phrase structure rules by means of a simple lexical insertion principle we can now match word classes with the terminal nodes in the tree. For example we could have a sentence such as we could have a sentence such as this old boy slept a wonderful sentence but as an alternative we could also generate sentences that sound extremely odd some would match the determiner insertion principle strong house shouted and you will possibly agree that such a sentence is ungrammatical. So such strange cases have to be avoided and any promising theory of grammar needs a more sophisticated lexicon and more elaborate lexical insertion principles that do more than just match word classes with terminal nodes. But even though there is agreement about the necessity of these two components that is phrase structure rule component and lexicon there are considerable differences in the precise formulation of the rules and constraints involved. The following problems for example cannot be handled by means of simple phrase structure grammars. There are sentences where intuitively adjacent constituents are separated so x2 really belongs to x1 but somehow sometimes it can be represented as a sort of final element in which case branches would have to cross not a very nice situation. And then there are sentences where the internal relations between the constituents cannot be shown. So how are these sentences related John ate a cake versus what did John eat they're related very much one is a declarative sentence one is an interrogative sentence but how can we show these relationships. Well and then there are sentences whose logical structure is not really clear. There are sentences where the subject noun phrase relates to a verb that is not its adjacent verb but a verb that is more embedded within syntactic structure. Let us look at these phenomena more closely. The first phenomenon concerns a construction such as John took out Mary. It contains a phrasal verb like take out and take out can be normally represented as a cohesive constituent take the particle out and then a noun phrase Mary quite nice. But what if the components of a phrasal verb are discontinuous in as in John took Mary out. Well here take an out can no longer be represented by means of a simple tree. This would be a result now. However this result clearly violates a condition or it should be an example where we should allow branch crossing but branch crossing is not a very nice solution. So this problem that has traditionally been referred to as the discontinuous constituent argument can only be solved by extending a simple phrase structure grammar or take the following example. Intuitively there is a relationship between a declarative sentence and its interrogative counterpart. John eat meat or John ate meat. Well let's first of all insert the nodes. John passed eat meat. Now we can easily transform this into a question. John ate what. So this would be some sort of echo question. But how can we convert this into sentence into a real question. For example into a W8 question. Well in such a case we would have to move what somewhere to the beginning of the sentence. An enormous problem for a simple phrase structure grammar. Here is another example. In sentences such as John seems to read. John is clearly the grammatical subject of the verb in the main clause. But it's not it's logical one. John does not seem in any way. Logically John is the agent of to read because it's John who reads and not it's not John who seems. But how can we handle this relationship between the grammatical relations that are represented well in John seems to read versus the logical or the thematic relations that are represented in the second version. Well a phrase structure grammar cannot explain these discrepancies between grammatical and logical subject. Another example concerns cases of structural ambiguity. In sentences such as the chickens are ready to eat. A simple phrase structure grammar would have to show the differences in meaning via two syntactic trees. Which I show here as two different embedded clauses. In the first case where the chicken eat themselves the embedded clause exhibits the chickens as the subject of eat. The chickens are ready for the chickens to eat something. And in the second interpretations the chickens are ready to be eaten. Well here the someone eats the chickens and the relationship in the embedded clause clearly shows that now pro an external element eats the chickens and here the chickens are the object of the embedded clause. Well a phrase structure grammar cannot handle this phenomenon suitably unless we expand it. So what can we do in order to solve these and further problems. The solution involves the following alternatives. For example we could expand the phrase structure component. Our suggestion number one. An alternative could be that we expand the lexicon our alternative number two. Or a third alternative would be that we introduce an additional rule system here marked and labeled as number three. In fact variants one and two are favored by the class of unification grammar here abbreviated as UG unification grammar. And the introduction of an additional rule system is the solution that is represented in transformational grammar the standard abbreviation TG. These are the two alternatives which we will discuss in detail in additional e-lectures. Now let's briefly look at the main suggestions. In 1957 Noam Chomsky suggested the use of an additional rule system transformations as a possible solution to the phenomena that could not be handled by a simple phrase structure grammar. A transformation is defined as a rule which requires a sentential input. Now here's now the input. It's not only an output of the base but it's also the input to a new component. And the input is not just one symbol but a sentence. And then it generates a sentential output. So here is now the new output of transformational grammar. Over the years the system of transformations which constitutes the central element in transformational grammar has undergone numerous revisions. The central idea however has always been the same. After an initial string has been generated it undergoes some change due to the application of additional rules. A widespread class of linguistic formalisms are those that are subsumed under the term unification grammars. One essential ingredient of these formalisms is the complex formal description of grammatical units that is words, phrases, sentences by means of features or feature value pairs. They share a highly formalized uniform operation for the merging and checking of grammatical information which is commonly referred to as unification. They do not use any kind of transformational rule. Rather they differ in the organization of their components. Some unification grammars strengthen the phrase structure component, others emphasize the lexicon. Well this e-lecture is introductory in character. Its main goal is to set out some general principles that underlie the most well-known grammatical formalisms and to provide arguments why simple phrase structure grammars cannot handle all sentences. With additional components or the expansion of existing components however we have at least two options to solve these problems. The resulting models transformational grammar and unification grammar will be discussed in additional e-lectures. So see you there.


Hi, I'm Andy Goudry of Investor Intel. I'm here with Paul V. Cobalt. How are you today? Fine, Andy. Thanks very much for having us. Thank you very much for coming. So we're at PDAC, and we want to get right to it. We want to talk about that bot deal that you announced on your latest release. Absolutely. Just last week we closed a $30 million financing led by TD with BMO 8 Capital and Canakor participating in the financing. That money is just going to ensure that we can look after all of our pre-construction in the spring of this year, leading into full production. Wonderful. And for that full production, when will that occur? Well, following the same timeline, we have an optimized feasibility study coming out in quarter two. The quarter two fees will actually be the production decision that we'll make. If we can stick to that timeline with the money we have in the bank today, that will give us an underground critical path, probably quarter three, 2018. We can be in production 12 to 14 months after that. So Cobalt's had a good run this year? Absolutely. Cobalt is trading $38 a pound. The compound annual growth rate of Cobalt is 11% projected over the next 10 years. It's all being driven by the electric vehicles and lithium ion batteries. The space is just completely evolving here with all of the major manufacturer, auto manufacturers wanting to get into the space. And what do we expect from Cobalt for shareholders in the next quarter or two? Well, the next quarter or two we'll be finalizing our optimized feasibility study. That's a really significant document for us because we have a new simplified flow sheet, which is really going to de-risk the project with this simplified flow sheet. That's also leading us into the off-take agreements and negotiations with Asian groups on how we're going to sell our product. It's all working together. There's going to be some good news out in the next quarter for our shareholders. Thank you very much, Paul, for coming today and I hope you have a successful PDAC. Excellent. Thank you very much for having us.


All right, thanks for staying with us. Now, you are still watching Waze, Human Resource Professional Day. It's celebrated on September 26th every year. It is a day to recognize and appreciate the hard work and dedication of HR professionals. Now, HR professionals play a vital role in organization of all sizes, helping to recruit higher and develop employees, especially on creating a very healthy work environment and ensuring employees are fairly treated and they are also treated with respect and dignity. Very, very critical role. So, I don't know. I think we had this, when you once said, when we talked about this day last year, you know, I think if there ever was a time where HR professionals are critical in organizations, now is really the time.   Add a few thousands here just to help make sure that everybody is. So, now is the time, we need that humanity, because a lot of people are, I mean, they say that part of what caused the traffic today is because of the speculations around increase, increment again in the fuel situation. So, I mean, if there was ever a time where HR personnels and professionals are head of departments, they need to really sit down with the management of the company to say, you know what, how do we mitigate some of this hardship that is coming on people? A lot of creativity is needed right now, I think. First of all, having a human face is very important. People need to think beyond, I know that there's also thinking about the money, thinking about the bottom line for the company, but I think that beyond money as well, there are a lot of other things that HR professionals who are thinking broadly can also do to help people. Things like looking at maybe extending KTMO plans to other family members, maybe parents. Not everything has to be direct cash, but there just has to be some creativity. Because I mean, companies are also, we're all struggling in the same economy, right? You're not liquid, the company sometimes are also not as buoyant or making as much money, because someone was saying to me today how she's spending a, she's having to buy a thousand liters of diesel, and diesel is now over a thousand naira. So imagine now having to spend over a million for your business just to buy diesel, and that money might not make it through the whole, that diesel might not get you through the whole month. So businesses are also struggling. So I think that the best HR professionals today are looking at creating, things like creating the right kind of culture is very important. People today, when they're going to get jobs, they're asking questions like, do you work remotely? Do you offer hybrid? All of these things are, they're not essentially direct costs. You're adding to the salary, but they're things that, so it's thinking broadly now around how you manage your people, how you still make your company a good place, a good hire, somewhere that people still want to, a good place to work, and you have people engaging with the work that you're doing and you're still able to retain talent because beyond JAQPA, as people are JAQPA, and people are also moving around locally. So even being able to retain your talent locally. It's tough. It's very important, absolutely, absolutely. So I mean, to all our HR professionals, they have a lot of job to do in this season. We wish you guys wisdom, because you need it, absolutely. So what do we find in this? Jelana, come to you. NLC and the Antrade Union, the Trade Union Congress, have declared an indefinite strike starting October the 3rd, and they have told Nigerians to stockpile foodstuffs because the strike will shut down the economic activities in the country. So, you know, about two or three weeks ago, when they were talking about this strike, it was just NLC. TUC kept saying, oh, they're not a part of it. They're not interested. But now that they're in some form of agreement, I honestly don't know. And this is, well, as a result, their excuse is it's the result of the removal of the petrol subsidy, you know, and the continuous demonstration and willingness and complete lack of initiative by the government, you know, to alleviate the sufferings of the people. So October 3rd, that's just a couple of days away. Yeah, next Tuesday. So when they say we should stockpile. Yeah, no, believe this. Two people. We have no belief in stockpile. We have no belief in stockpile. They want to see the stock. We will, we will, we will survive. Please, please, please, please. I don't believe they don't see it, honestly. I don't believe that. What the strike will look like. Yeah, because like, I think they are relevant, you know, maybe they don't see that they don't, they are not relevant in this situation. People don't even want the strike. Nobody wants the strike. They're not relevant. Uti, I mean, Mary is laughing, but is it true? You've lost relevance, but you're just not accepting it that your words don't hold any weight in it.  Which will gain its weight. So the question is who are they fighting for? So what are you asking for? And what's realistic? So I don't even know what the ask is, but I think the very first time they were saying how they should reverse their subsidy completely. It's not possible. So I think that it's really just, what exactly... I mean, wasn't what you just said, if they want to take the petrol to 1000, let them take it, let us over, let them take it. Because at this point, I've had it.  The only pain that I feel is that, see, I mean, if you calculate how much, what's it called? Gas costs. When you're fueling your tank abroad. It's quite expensive. But you will not find them spending 10 hours in traffic.  So even if the price of the petrol wants to go up, let us even have good motorable roads. So that you know that, okay, yes, if I tell you I'll be there in five minutes, I'm there in five minutes. Maybe I don't like this your smile. Let me charge you a piece. 15 on the road in for many years. And like, are we now saying that now, when they increase the petrol, now they're fixing it? Let's leave government to thank you. Okay. What did you find for us in the news? We have spoken. Veteran actor Yemi Ademi, aka Suara. Suara, yes. Suara passes on. Oh, wow. According to the statement released on Monday, September 25, 2023, by the bereaved family Ademi died on Sunday, September 24, 2023. The statement is signed by the deceased son, Adi, Dotun Ademi. It reads, it is with a heavy heart, but we total submission to God that we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, Uliyemi Lawrence Ademi, who went to be with the Lord on Sunday. For those who remember him from Super Story. It was very sad, but he left his mark on it. Absolutely. Absolutely. Me, so rest in peace. Hussain, welcome to you. So my story is actually a few days old, but I saw it and I thought if no one had taken it, I would just bring it up. It says monthly sanitation to resume in Lagos and that's right, our governor, Babajideh Sanlou, says he hints that the state's monthly sanitation campaign would be brought back. So I think this will stop sometime in 2016 if I remember correctly. Yeah, on Monday. And this was the Saturday morning cleaning. It says that he was going around last Friday on inspection to check adherence to the government's environmental cleaning measures in various parts of the state. And he was expressing his displeasure as to what he found in terms of people flouting environmental regulations, trading along roadsides, under bridges, even visiting the under bridge in Lagos Island, of course, which caught fire the other day. And I think that the story for me is not even about environmental sanitation. I think that the place of public education, right, people, we've never had, well, I shouldn't say that that's strong, Loma brought some sanity into Lagos in terms of how the disposal of rubbish and refuse and all of that was handled. But prior to that, there was that community awareness in terms of education, people understanding that, you know, cleaning out your gutters, people coming together to clean their neighborhoods. There was a lot of education around that at the grassroots level. So even though people all had it placed up, maybe they were going through rubbish and they were burning and all of that, but there was that knowledge. So today you've scrapped this for fire. What is it now? We're not going to do math anymore, seven years plus. And all of a sudden you're saying, oh, people are not adhering to the regulations. Are you still teaching people? Are you still telling people about it? What are the regulations? Even when you talk about, thank you, when you talk about the markets, you know, what work is being done to make sure that, you know, these yellow jars and the markets are set up, they're cleaning, they're taking care of the environment. One of these things are important. So you all of a sudden locking us down again for a few hours on a Saturday morning, saying we should clean. That's not the problem. That's not the solution. Right? You have all these, what are they called? Is this CSO, Sky and all the rest of them? All these, let them do their jobs, go out, educate people, and let's get this done the right way. As long as we continue to have people driving on the road on Saturday, like if I had, we have told them, government, they're not happiness. Give us authority. Give us Kuboko.  Like, give me the capacity to be able to slap somebody.  It will grow extremely. You're not getting the point. The logic behind it is that we have to enforce, first of all, the culture of this no-liter, and with so much, what's it called, adherence. Yeah, the same way when they start, if you talk on the phone, you don't have to, this no-liter, let us even start from there. You'll see a, somebody is an SUV. Would you want to call, yeah. You can't, like yesterday, I think he went and speeded up the way now. In Mexico, she was inside an SUV. Now brought out a canned, one of these canned drinks. Immediately, she just warmed up and dumped it. I can't. Literally. Literally, I can't, that you're saying. I can't. I actually rode in a car one day with somebody to Ibadom. And the whole journey there, he was complaining about the government, he was talking, if he was in office, this was going to do this, he's going to do it.  After we both had our lives, we were rushing back to beat traffic. And he's in the car. I would try to. And as soon as he finished. He just wound down. Washed his hands. You know? The shock with which I was. No. No. The one that happened to me, this was the person that was inside my car. But I said, Olga, it's not where I am. Bring the debt. Is it bad? I got a call. He said, no, no, no, I said, we are complaining about government, we are the problem. Yeah, what is it? So first of all, start build that culture. You see my car, right? Let it be dirty. Yeah. When I come back. When I get to my house.  My investigative guy would help me clean it up. That is better. But you're part of the government. That's the government. It is a lack of creativity that just disturbs me. Because why would you resume Saturday sanitation? How many of us here sit on this table? Did you ever get one Saturday to say you want to clean? Yeah, me I did. I did. I did when I was serving. My NYSE. I was in 2006. I was living in somebody's house. The ma wanted to use us to remove all the grease stain. And I've been there for years. So every Saturday morning, you wake me up and you see my sister. I did when I was younger. Do you understand what I'm saying? But literally, it is, like I said, it is the lack of creativity. So it's the awareness for me in that somebody like that doesn't think about it and doesn't know that she shouldn't do it. And it's so many things. When you talk about the culture for me, it's so many things. It's like when in this year, lucky, I see people in their big SUVs driving one way just because they cannot wait.   The government didn't fall from the sky. They were happy. So talking about this thing, because this one is a sad news. Business Day wrote a report that more troubles for travelers as Nigerian passport face devaluation. So as it is now, netting it.  I'm telling you. It's not true. It says that apart from the high fares, Nigerians have to pay to travel to other countries. Nigerians holding green passport are faced with another problem of experiencing visa on arrival denials. So it's more of all those countries that you go visa on arrival for several countries as a result of the devaluation of the passport globally. So in a recent release, third quarter, Henley passport index, which is an authoritative ranking of all world passports, according to the number of destinations their holders can access without prior visa, Nigeria takes the bottom spot as a country with one of the 20 worst passports to hold in 2023. Can I just point out that you are 200 plus million people who have a penchant for migration.  Like, somebody just said passport and because of the rain, there are factors around this. The fact is, yes, economic situation shows that our net migration is going up. People are leaving the country in droves. The fact is, these countries that offer visa on arrival is based on certain assessments. Sharing that you're going to go home. What's happening in your country? All of these things play a factor. So it's not just because some people sometimes feel like they say, which one to say, think about Nigerians.  I mean, look at America at the moment. America is facing a huge problem. Like literally, people are just trekking to America. Like, everything that makes me happy when I see those reports is that it's not Africans. You know, in Europe, they show us crossing in boats, we're hanging on the side of the boat, we're seeing all of this. I mean, the American one is Venezuela, Mexico, all of those guys, right? But they are literally, like I saw that report today and I was distressing to see people leaving their belongings behind, crossing the water, over the buoys, over the razor wire, just to get to America. Meanwhile, the America that they're trying to get to, they're about to face a government shutdown. So in fact, the whole world right now, it is not so, can we just accept that the whole world has gone crazy because America is facing a government shutdown for probably the second or third time. Unheard of, like, I mean. So the problems in this world are Nigerian passports. Okay, so in other words, in leave, that's the English, in leave of what she has said, face your God. Face your country. What is the hassle? What is the hassle? What is the hassle in the right way?

These little things you do are some of the more common habits of people with anxiety. While there are common habits, anxiety can manifest in more ways than one.  1.  Or, are you always making sure that everything's okay? People with anxiety feel an impending sense of doom. They have this inescapable feeling that things can go terribly wrong at any moment, and to prevent that, they try to regain control of things by obsessively making sure things are the way they're supposed to be. 2. You get bored too easily Do you feel like you can't connect with others, or that conversations with people are boring more often than not? Anxious people tend to have difficulty concentrating. They could be so in their minds that they actually fail to listen and engage with other people in a fun and meaningful way. You may find yourself getting out of a conversation and feeling negative about it. But ask yourself, were you fully engaged with the other person, or were you thinking about how you were coming across instead? 3. You over-apologize Do you find yourself saying sorry even for the simplest things such as before asking a question or when you do something on behalf of someone else? Anxious people may feel guilty for things that aren't their fault. Really apologizing may feel like a natural thing to do the more you do it, but doing so can be harmful to your self-esteem in the long run. The next time you catch yourself about to say sorry for something, ask yourself whether it's really necessary. Don't beat yourself up for it if you do blurt it out, but try to be a bit more observant of your response and examine whether it's really necessary to apologize. 4. You have trouble sleeping at night Do you spend hours ruminating about the bad moments of your day, or even from years ago? Anxious people tend to retain a sense of mental alertness, marked by worry before falling asleep. These individuals are prone to hypervillagens throughout the night, causing them to sleep a lot less than they should. And if that's not enough, these insomniac tendencies can exacerbate feelings of anxiety and other mood disorders during the day as well. 5. You use your phone as a crutch Do you find yourself mindlessly scrolling through your phone during breaks in conversation? Anxious people often take out their phones as a coping mechanism to engage attention away from negative thoughts. You may feel unsure about how to deal with certain situations and use your phone as a crutch. It can be hard to disconnect yourself from your phone when you need to, especially as phones are integrated into our everyday lives. However, you may feel more alert throughout conversations and add value to them if you gradually decrease your phone time. 6. Talking too much Freezing up in conversation can be a clear sign of anxiety, sure, but talking too much? Surprisingly, this habit can be assigned too. Anxious people often talk more to fill the perceived silence. They want to add value and avoid awkwardness, but it often stems from a place of nervousness and insecurity rather than authenticity and general inquiry. Closing thoughts There is no shame in having anxiety. The important thing is that you recognize the habit so you can learn from them and grow. Do you relate to any of the signs above? Do you have any more signs that you think would fit this description? If so, share them in the comments below and remember to like and share this video with people who could benefit. As always, the references and studies are listed in the description. Until next time friends, thanks for watching.


I live in sunny and beautiful Hollywood California. The average temperature here is a dry 75 degrees and like the song says, it never rains in Southern California. To me, this is the perfect climate to be a curly. The thing is, while the weather is predictable in LA, my life is anything but. I need my hair to be prepared to perform at the drop of a dime. I give my hair serious attention once a week on wash day, but other than that, it spritz, pick, fluff, and I'm flying out the door. Therefore, my go-tos for my California life have been curls blueberry bliss line consisting of the reparative leave and conditioner, the curl control jelly and the curl control pace. So we're going to kick things off kind of backwards. Here is my hair at the end of the week after seven days of hard and wonderful living, weight correction. Here is my hair without my curly hair extensions and clearly guys are enlisting Justin Bieber sorry, so I'm sorry, but really not sorry. Here's my hair after a shampoo conditioner with zero product, but we are going to change all that right about now. The reparative leave and conditioner has been certified coconut and grapeseed oil, mango butter, and blueberry extract. What is amazing about this product is it's recommended for hair growth. I apply this product very generously all over my head and I finger curl select pieces at the top, always away from my face.  Next, I take the curl control jelly made with blueberry extract and castor oil. I saturate the bottom of my hair. Since I wear extensions for blend sake, it's important that my nape hairs are as long and as defined as possible. I then scrunch a little more gel all over, but not too much because in booty's world, volume is the number one priority. Then I finish it off with the curl control paste made with organic blueberry extract and argan oil. I put the paste all around my edges because, you know, all my edges to be smooth and shiny and protected.  And finally, this is my favorite eyebrow product. It is so much better not to mention healthier than your drugstore eyebrow gel. So this is a daily go to for me. I also wash my extensions at the same time, but the girls don't need or get any product at all since they go on the bottom of my hair and I want them as frizzy as possible to give as much volume. To give you more of an idea, here's how my hair looks totally dry at the end of day one. As you can see, the curls are extremely defined, but they will loosen and frizz up in a few days. So after five days of fun and sun, as you can see the curl pattern is bigger, but still intact. I got to stress, I do not add any more products during the week. My Hollywood hair is as free and as wild as the palm trees. Surprise! This is also a collaboration video with Naturally Nisi. The Curly Girl Queen herself shows you guys how to use these exact same products for wet and cold Toronto in case you can't relate to the palm trees, the awesomeness, the birds singing your name every single morning, you know all that jazz.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much president. I've got some comments but of course we don't have very much time. Speaking of budgets, I'm the president of the Mollizzi region which is in the south of Italy and the regional budgets in my region in particular are not actually able, capable of intervening economically to support enterprises and companies struck by the pandemic to help the health system and civil society. So we really need to receive from the national government of course and to receive funds also from the European community. I'd just like to point that out to the commissioner and obviously speed is of the essence here. We've got to be able to quickly use these resources. We therefore need streamlining of red tape and bureaucracy considering that the pandemic doesn't give us a lot of time to act, doesn't give time in terms of our health or in terms of our economy. Thank you very much.


RR Cabel presents Short Circuit Sesuraksha, powered by News 18 Networks While PVC and flexible wires are still the first choice in India, Ireland reserves the first spot to ban PVC wires and cables completely. Countries like the UK are debating over the use of inferior material, safety guidelines and technological advancements post the London fire accident. In this situation, low smoke zero halogen wires are seemingly becoming the future on the global platform. So why do they have two components? One is conductor, second is insulation. So in India, the low smoke zero halogen wire is available now. In India also that NVC has came with that in high-rise building and commercial they need to go low smoke zero halogen. But how many people know this? Why low smoke zero halogen? Because people died not because of fire but because of smoke. See reason of smoke is maximum short circuit, reason of death or wealth loss, both. Human loss and wealth loss because of smoke. When fire takes place, because of smoke you are unable to see your exit from where you have to go. And it's difficult to breathing. So when you are unable to, you don't know how to go. So place like upad theater or like restaurant, there is stamping that happens. If you only see four people, if somebody wants to escape you, he don't know where you are. So smoke he cannot enter into Savio. And you want to go out, you cannot go out.  So not only in electrical, like PVC candidate pipe, wire or anything in house, PVC should not use it. Because PVC is a dark smoke, corrosive, toxic. The other side of the coin is high rise buildings. Where more than the home owners, developers and consultants play the major role in designing and choosing the right material across plumbing to electrical wire rings to fire safety. The cost effective choice being aluminium wires and cables. The safety consideration almost becomes bare minimum. They focus on first of all how much requirement will be there. How much the connection load factor calculating this to the size of cable. Now ideally what they should focus on, the safety also. And long because high rise building and commercial building we need to understand the life of any building is almost 100 years. And what will be future requirement according to this solution. Like in high rise building and commercial building worldwide nowadays even India also is changing from their cable to their shifting to bus duct. Some people call bus duct, bus way, bus riser which is the most safest. Among any cable if you look into the high rise building and commercial building it has to be bus duct on the outside area. In terms of wire, now India also that NBC has come with the new rules. They need to have a class 2 conductor, low smoke, zero legend wire. And now fire survival cable has to be now copper. So these are major, you need connections from ground to building, building to high rise building, then inside and the fire survival cable. So there are 3-4 categories of wire and cable are there. Developer and consult they should look into really which products, companies are making very good quality wire, which are the company who has not compromised your quality. So they should focus on that and the size. In the average age of a building being close to 70 years the reliability of the substance behind walls is as important as the material used in beautifying the house interiors. The erosion on the coating of wires in old buildings, poor maintenance of underground fittings and fewer emergency equipment installations than required. Such as fire alarms, extinguishers and smoke detectors are critical reasons behind everyday breaking news of massive fires in commercial properties. So wire guru, what advice would you give to our consumers and builders to ensure they prioritize wire safety in their projects? In India our country, neither builders, neither contractor, consultants they are very much focused on safety. Because we have been living in this country for so many years without safety also we become very successful. But now the way electrical users go on up, usually in one house how many wires were there, how many plugs were there, in common house one tube light, one fan, that time is gone now. Because we are surrounded with electrical wires and bundles in any house. So now its focus is required. The biggest challenge is because this product goes behind the walls. So nobody takes an interest and nobody is serious about this. Builders I request, don't squeeze contractor for the prices more. And rather than when you are negotiating, talk on quality parameter, talk on which product they will use and which are for the safety purpose. Now in every city, even in places like Borodha, even in places like Indore or Thai 2, Thai 3 city also the high-rise buildings are coming. And the high-rise building, more high-rise, you need more precaution of safety. So it has to be no smoke, you know, laser wire, right size of conductor. So if you don't have right kind of product, then signs of short circuit, short circuit then fire and then smoke.  People, we as a headline we read that people die because of fire. But people die because of smoke. But nobody understanding the difference between smoke and fire. So in my opinion, whichever the product, not only wiring, chipper and docking, but as a, because since I know wire guru as electrical, but plumbing is also there, fire products are there, 3-4 products are there, where safety is required and we should be very much focused as a builder, as a consultant, as a contractor and as a consumer all together. Remembering the horrifying Upahar case, where more than 105 people died due to suffocation and unsuccessful evacuation or the blazing fire outrage in ESIC hospital Mumbai case. Where later in the investigation it was revealed that no safety measures were adopted in the hospital building, the substantial number of deaths and damage is soaring. Proper legislative provisions are required to prevent such casualties and curb the graph of short-circuit fires. So I would like to give a good example. See in the UK, in London properly, central London, in a high-rise building, one fire took place. Before that in the UK also, the inferior material, not like in India, but then few inferior materials there. Just because of one fire, the question is parliament. Government made an immediate committee. They concentrated all the material, right? And now they, in high-rise building, they change the law. They cannot use this PVC wire or FRS wire. It has to be low-smoke, you know, wire. In particular size of building, you know, they change all the law. In India, in 1997, in Upahar theater, 105 people died. And everyone knows they died because of smoke. Still now, many multiplexers are coming. We know that almost in India, every month you could do multiplex. But did the law change? No. Still they use PVC wire. Again, sometimes fire will take place, people die. In Amri Hospital, people die because of smoke. Does all the hospitals change the law? No, you can use anything. In question classes. So wherever the public is there, first of all, you should have a smoke-free everything. Not only why I am telling you. Everything should be smoke-free. Because when people, commercial places, density of people is very high. Like in house, you can have 1000 square feet or 10 square feet. You'll have 4 people, 8 people, 10 people. When office average is 40 square feet, when people are sitting, it is an average. In public places like theater, public places like hospital, public places like government offices, or anywhere. And first of all, we need to understand that there is not much a cause difference there. It's just a simple mindset. Because Chalega is the biggest challenge in our India. Number two, we, the product is going behind the wall. So we don't focus at all. And whenever somebody appoints an electrical contractor or electric, electrician, they try to excuse them anything. India being the largest growing economy and its immensely growing infrastructure has driven downside by being non-environmentally friendly and life-threatening over the last period. Now, it is time that a safer ecosystem that also minimizes electrical impairment takes the place of the PVC infused arteries and veins of the lifeline of our dream houses. As a step towards a greener and shielded future, Delhi Metro has recently made some mandatory changes to their electrical standards. They are now phasing out the PVC wires and installing halogen-free low-smoke cables across stations. A nod to change here is eminent and necessary. Most of the awareness is required and internal change we need because we are too much focused as a human being or as a businessman or if I am making my own house or I am making as a builder, so I would like to showcase what is good looking from outside. So what I say believe that unless you are not inner changes there, external changes of no use.  So rather than focus on exterior or outside, we should focus into more of more inner. Never compromise on safety. Electrical products are very sensitive products. This may make a loss of your family, yourself, your wealth, all together. With our next episode talking about RR Kabul and their flagship products, we will delve deep into the manufacturing process of how low-smoke zero-halogen wires add their Vadodra plant. Learning the complex process of wire making, different types of metal users, which cares and more. We will be going on a sparkful journey with our wire guru, Mr. Capra, of their ambition of providing short-circuit-se-sur-aksha. Till then, stay tuned.


So our budget this year is about building an economy that is fair for everyone and one of the things that really doesn't feel very fair these days is the price of housing. It used to be that if you worked hard at a good job, you could afford a roof over your head. Après des décennies de manque d'investissement et d'inaction de la part de tous les niveaux de gouvernement, la classe moyenne a l'impression que c'est impossible d'avoir un bon logement abordable. C'est une situation inacceptable. Il faut que ça change et le meilleur moyen de faire baisser les prix est de construire plus de logements. That's why our government is stepping up to build homes faster than we have in generations. As a federal government, we've been taking leadership and making those generational investments to incentivize and support more supply. Housing gets built when every order of government steps up and our private sector and non-profit partners have the right incentives to get shovels in the ground. Well, today we're announcing that upcoming budget 2024 will invest in a new initiative we're calling Canada Builds. Canada Builds is going to turbocharge affordable apartment construction in partnership with provinces and territories. It'll provide low-cost loans, help speed up development and build projects at the scale necessary to meet the urgent needs of Canadians. Let me walk through the details. We're going to make a massive injection of funding into our existing apartment construction loan program, another $15 billion available. And we're going to make the entire pot of funding available for matching partnerships with provinces and territories who come to the table with ambitious and fair housing plans. Plans that get homes built quickly and at scale. Plans that build the right housing for the right places, whether low-rise or high-rise, one-bedroom or multi-bedrooms. And plans that meet the existing expectations that this fund helped build apartments that the middle class can afford. Funding built for hard-working nurses, teachers, first responders, and even the very construction workers that will help get these units built. And we're also going to make innovative reforms to the apartment construction loan program, reforms that will expand access to these funds so we can meet the needs of Canadians at every age, whether young families, students, or seniors. That'll help us fast-track the application process for proven builders. It'll encourage getting projects built on a bigger scale. These reforms will help make the math work for builders and speed up construction. Canada Builds is itself based off an idea that British Columbia came up with, and it's an idea that is fundamentally practical and fundamentally fair. Where provinces and territories show leadership, our government is ready to partner. And today, we want to scale that ambition up right across the country. Today, we're announcing the initiative, Build in Canada, which will allow us to build affordable housing from one end to the other from the country. The initiative will help partners to build more local housing, partners like governments, builders, promoters, and non-cretive organizations. With our program ready for apartment construction, we're going to establish partnerships with provinces and territories and offer them low-cost loans. And we're going to reform the program to finance more housing for elderly people, students, and families. We're going to ensure that we build apartments with affordable rents that meet the needs of all generations. And for housing in Quebec, of course, we're going to continue to work in partnership with the province. Canada builds, initiates new levels of ambition with provinces and territories, and incentivizes builders all to get more homes built for the middle class faster. And we need this from coast to coast to coast in communities of every side. Canada is a big country, and when we take a Team Canada approach, there is no challenge too big. In working together, we can build housing at just prices that meet the needs of our country in the middle of growth. We can build housing that meets your needs, no matter where you are in life. So let's get to work, build lots more homes, and build an economy that is fair for every generation.


President Mohammed Buhari has loaded the exploits of the Nigerian Armed Forces to maintain peace, unity and stability in the country. He urged Nigerians to celebrate them as the pride of the country. The President gave the charge at the 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day emblem appeal launch. That's an annual event to appreciate the gallantry, sacrifices and accomplishments of veterans of the First and Second World Wars, peace support operations and internal security operations in Nigeria. He paid tribute to veterans who devoted most of their active lives to securing the nation and the world in particular, those who paid the supreme price. He declared that the renewed onslaught on bandits in the Northwest has resulted in the military daily receiving insurgents who are voluntarily laying down their arms. The welfare of our exiles man continues to be our priority. The government has continued to prioritize the prompt and regular payment of pensions and benefits to our retirees. We are committed to making life more meaningful to all retirees. To this end, we shall, within the limits of available resources, ensure payment of all liabilities arising from increments made to the pensions of exiles men.


The Columbia Broadcasting System and its 217 affiliated stations present the CBS Radio Workshop. Radio's distinguished series dedicated to man's imagination, The Theatre of the Mind. Tonight, for the first time on the air, a treatment of A.C. Spatorsky's current and sensational bestseller. A factual yet incredible report of those New Yorkers who try to mix work in the city with country living. And who almost invariably end up behind the eight wall. Narrated by Eric Severide, the CBS Radio Workshop presents The X-Urbanites. This is Eric Severide. Since the X-Urbanites became a bestseller, it has been called terrifying, hilarious, penetrating, savage. What you will call it depends entirely on you. But you can be sure of this.  Because it's the account of the men who publish your magazines, who hold sway over your radio and television programs, who shape your buying habits in their advertising agencies.  Because they themselves earn their rich living by dreaming tremendously. Sunshine. Man, where did you find sunshine like that? You like it, friend? Well, this is the greatest you've ever painted, Pruitt. The way that sunlight streams through the window, the way it lights the herbs in the window box, the way it touches the girl's hair, the way it dramatizes the can opener. Call me Van Gogh. No, I mean it, Pruitt. This is the best art work I've seen as art director of this agency. It'll sell a million can openers, or I go down with a Titanic. Who's the model? Who needs a model for the typical American housewife? She's dream stuff, Fred, just like the sunshine. I painted this on a rainy day that would float the Titanic. Now, are you ready for the power lawnmower layout? Let's have her. Well, here she is. Call me Rembrandt. This hits me right here. This fellow, the way you've got his teeth clenched on that pipe, the way you've got him bending lovingly over those roses, the age of those gloves on his hands, the beat-up trowel he holds. Oh, that takes me back. Back to what? Park Avenue? To my father out in Michigan. That's the way he used to bend over his roses in the twilight. That same twilight that you've caught right here. He had roots, my old man had. Sometimes I wonder why I ever left Michigan. Well, for the same reasons I left Kansas. 25,000 a year, and a choice of the best analysts. Maybe. But you still couldn't paint like this if you hadn't gone back to the soil. I beg your pardon. That place that you've gotten Connecticut, trees, grass, land, roots. You've left New York and got yourself some new roots, Pruitt. Sure have. Setting me back 500 to have him removed from my driveway.  But I envy you that place, man. Every time I see you lucky fellows head for the country at the end of the day, I remember my father and his roses. Some ex-urbanites have a highly developed talent for remembering events that have never occurred. But Fred Northschild had a father in Michigan who gardened at twilight. Now, as an advertising agency art director, his dreams were of a vice presidency. But that night in his spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated Manhattan apartment, the dreams he had helped to dream for millions of American consumers suddenly took over. He was on the verge of becoming an ex-urbanite. Liz, where's the bottle opener? Right here, on the wall. That thing is the bottle opener? The magic handy open all. Your agency ran a campaign that sold 2 million in three weeks. Well, how could I see it? There's no sunlight falling on it. Not right now. No, it's a cloudy night. Well, this kitchen has no sunlight even when there is sunlight. Every kitchen ought to have sunlight. Sunlight and herbs. Herbs? There's not a single darned herb in the window box. Well, actually there isn't a window box. Every kitchen needs a window box. With herbs. Just the most important ones, of course. But what you really need is a whole herb garden. You put them just this side of the roses. I go a little easy on the high balls, dear. It's only eight o'clock and the bakers are coming over for a bridge in a few minutes. The bakers. Not a root between them. I beg your pardon. They've got no roots. We've got no roots. I see. Well, all if it's roots you want and roses, I guess that means we'll have to move to the suburbs. Not them, Liz. Not the suburbs house after house. Just the like. I mean the real country. Up beyond the suburbs and an hour from town by train. Grass, lots of the trees. All you want. Hair, all you want of that. How about it, Liz? Well, I suppose we could look at, Liz. I knew you'd be for it. Liz, it'll be the greatest thing we ever did. Thus to the New Yorker, the country is that land that lies beyond the crowded suburbs, yet remains within 60 minutes train time of his office. This is a land of exurbia. Ex meaning from, and erbia meaning the crowded city and its suburbs. In going to exurbia, he will find it already filled with men like himself who are gainfully employed in the field of communications, radio, television, commercial art, magazine publishing, public relations, and the theater. In no other field is there more fantastic competition. They deal in ideas and ideas alone. Tomorrow someone may have a better idea. Tomorrow they may suddenly find they are barren of ideas. They will be without a job. The escape to exurbia then is their attempt to realize a secret dream that once they are away from the rat race at nightfall, they will ride the superhighway to happiness. And so they begin to look for a place in the country. Try Bucks County. It's the only real country, Fred. Take a fast train from Penn Station, one hour to read a couple of chapters of a good book, and you're in Trenton, ready for real country living across the river in Bucks County. Bucks. Lousy with beautiful old stone houses, ready for a right guy like you to take over. Oscar Hammerstein, Dorothy Parker, Morse Hart, Bud Schildberg, they went to Bucks.  Sleep all night with cows moving in your ears. Real music. Bucks County. One hour by train and another hour's drive to any kind of land you can buy if your name isn't Rockefeller. Did they tell you about those new steel mills in Bucks, the new Levittown thousands of homes just like on Long Island? That's country living? It'll be worse than Jersey five years from now. If you want old homes, people who really belong to the land, ever been in Rockland County? Quaint, charming, quiet. Try Sneden's Landing, New City. Look around there, the real artists, the real writers, the real theater people. They're all in Rockland, and they leave you alone. Alone?  Rockland County? Haven't you heard of the Thruway, the new Thruway Bridge across the Hudson? It puts the Bronx minutes from Sneden's Landing.  Meet the reader's digest crowd, talk with the writers and the artists around Pound Ridge. Your children will love Westchester. Wonderful schools. Maybe you and Liv should come out some night and go to the PTA with me. PTA? What are you bucking for, Fred? The job of running their ice cream social? Look, if you want real rich, he-man country living, come on out to Long Island's North Shore. Oyster Bay, Manhasset, Sands Point, riding to Hounds, yachts lying at Anker, the kind of things F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote about. Ever see that $15 million Chateau Marshall Field built there? Vacation place. When they have a wedding, they hire the New York Philharmonic and hide him in the shrubbery to play the wedding march. Wonderful crowd out there in the North Shore. Wonderful, I'll bet. If you have a chauffeur. But we're not in that class, Fred. You'll have to ride the Long Island Railroad. Yeah, let me see. That's a fate worse than death. Well, I guess we've covered everything, but Fairfield County so far, Liz. Well, Connecticut, here we come. In considering a move to the ex-serves, it is inevitable that the departing New Yorker gives strong consideration to Fairfield County, Connecticut. To use a speech habit of its inhabitants. A, it is the most famous. B, it is the fastest growing. C, it is the richest in ex-urban manifestations. I suppose you already know a lot of people who already live in here in Fairfield, Mr. Norshield. Oh, yes, Mr. Burnham. Several men in our agency live out here. Now, I'm going to show you folks a beautiful house just put on the market. Nine rooms, three baths, and 12 coach lamps. Coach lamps? Oh, everybody in Fairfield County has coach lamps, Mrs. Norshield. This place even has two besides the outdoor barbecue. You realize what that means, Liz? We can cook our steaks outdoors every evening. What kind of heat does this place have, Mr. Burnham? Heat. Four fireplaces. Four beautiful fireplaces. And a whole acre of old trees you can cut up for firewood. What about a furnace or something? A furnace. I never thought to ask about that. We're busy out here in Fairfield. I suppose you know we've just about traveled our population the last few years. We're also the richest county in the nation. Even beat Samarilla, Texas. Oh, you mean something's richer than something in Texas? That's right, Mrs. Norshield. Why, advertising agency presidents and board chairman are a dime a dozen. Mere vice presidents and account executives are just foot soldiers. Out here in Fairfield, you'll find the publishers of Life, Woman's Hong Companion, 17, Look, Harper's Bazaar, American Weekly, and the president of Time Incorporated. And you'll find that... Did you say something, Mrs. Norshield? Before we drive much farther, Mr. Burnham, I'd like to ask one thing. Yes, ma'am. How much is this house? 50 or five. What is that in English? 50,500. For nine rooms? Well, that includes the coach lamps, the barbecue, and a beautiful blue stone terrace. But no furnace. Well, now don't you worry about that furnace until you see the place, Mrs. Norshield. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, there's two cobbler's manches go over the place. They say everybody in Fairfield County has a Jaguar, a barbecue, coach lamps, and a cobbler's bench. Mr. C is about arranging the mortgage tomorrow. Which house is this? The first one we looked at. Oh, yes, the one that needs a furnace and a new leg on the second cobbler's bench. Oh, come off of it. Aren't you excited? Of course, dear. By the way, do we get a free timetable with a mortgage? What about the timetable? Mr. Norshield used to live in that section, and she says that you'll have to rise and shine at 7 a.m. to dress, have breakfast, and drive to the 15 miles to the station to catch the 815. Share this seat with you? By sure, of course. Thank you. Pruitt, my gosh, I didn't even look up when you asked if you could sit down. One never asked if one can sit down, Fred. One asked if one may share one's seat. That's the officer's club code of our army. Hmm? What army? We have just joined. The most highly-paid, most thoroughly-disciplined army in the world. The commuting army. 360,000 commuters descend to New York every working day. They're revelry the alarm clock. It wakes them at dawn, sends them out into rain, sweet snow, and the fogs of hangover in their second car. That's right. You know, we hadn't counted on buying a second car, but Liz had to use one car to take the kids to school and back and to do her shopping. What did you get for parking at the station? Jaguar? Station wagon? What difference does it make? Well, Fred, it's very important for a man who wants to become a vice president. Are you kidding? Well, the men in your position, the car you drive to the station, testifies to your sensitivity to what is expected of you. Well, Jaguar denotes class, yes, but a jeep presumes that your wife is using the Cadillac to take the kids to school here. That car and your associates on the train can make or break you. Pruitt, are you drunk this morning?  You'll see about the associates. For example, Fred, those two presidents of big agencies who get on at your station, you speak to them, of course. Well, I nod. You're learning. A nod, but never speak unless spoken to. You haven't jostled them getting on to the train. No. Well, you are learning. Well, one of them may need a vice president six months from now. He may start speaking to you on the station platform if you haven't jostled. Until then, merely nod, never speak. And agency president is one of the brats. You're not even a VP yet. You're still one of the foot soldiers. Now, listen, poor, you know... Grand Central! Grand Central! Goodbye, friend. No, say, wait, I'll walk through the station with you. I better not. The candidate for vice president is known by the company keeps. I'm a mere freelance artist dependent on you for work. I could be court-martialed for just... Grand Central! Fred is a new ex-urbanite, of course, but already he had learned that the rat race from which he has tried to escape now begins the moment his car appears at the station in the morning. It continues as he boards the train, nodding to lesser foot soldiers, and to higher brass. It continues as he rides to his working day, and soon it is with him as he starts to leave the office. My home, friend? Oh, something you wanted, JP? Oh, no, no, no, nothing very much. I had been trying to get to you all day, but I got tied in with a brass at BBDNO and couldn't make it. No, I just wanted to talk to you about Hubble, that young assistant of yours. What's wrong, JP? Wrong. Nothing's wrong.  He was around last night after most of the shop had gone home, and he and Dorfmeyer and I got to polishing some ideas. Well, why didn't you call me in? Well, we looked for you, but you'd gone and catch the train already. Oh, I'd been glad to stay. Well, don't worry about it, Fred. I can give you all that in a memo, but, you know, it seems to me we need a fresh slant on things. A couple of times recently, with one client or another, I've been left standing with egg on my face. I wonder if we don't have an awful lot of fat around here. We've got spear holders that haven't had their tails kicked in years. You know, if we're going places with the Chief's new program for increased billings, we've got to get some new blood, like Hubble, real hot guys, young, aggressive. Fact is, I've been thinking of one young fella who's over at McCann right now. He, uh... Well, I'll sum this up in a memo and we'll wax our skis together some morning. Now, you better hurry and catch your train. Hello? Something wrong, Fred? What are you having, an office party? Party. No three, back from Britain. You fell asleep again. Say goodnight to the kids for me. Oh, sure. They'll be up for school in a minute or two. This seems something less than the sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Consider the case for her and her sisters of Exurbia. Before marriage, the ex-urbanite wife may have been a Smith graduate clad in the Smith uniform of cashmere sweater and single strand of pearls. She may have been a member of the dirty neck and dirndl set in Greenwich Village. She may have been an actress, a model, or a secretary. But whatever she has been, the ex-urban wife is trying desperately to re-establish a common bond with her husband. She has moved from a small, easily maintained city apartment near stores and people to the ex-urbs where she has eight rooms as a half-mile distance from the nearest adult during the daylight hours and must drive five to ten miles to the nearest store. It is she who first realizes how tenuous, how limited his dream has become even when he earns 25,000 a year. How does it happen that they spend at least $2,000 more than they receive? Head ruled in New York State in some taxes. $5,000 this year, please. New York State tax. We live in Connecticut. Your husband earns his salary in New York State, ma'am. It doesn't matter where you live. $5,000, please. Thank you, ma'am. Just be glad New York City doesn't tax you commuters. They're considering it, you know. $2,500 a year, Miss Nostilt.  Well, that's a lot of money, Hilda. If any more, they offer me $3,000 to come be their maid. Well, they have three children. We have only two. Oh, well, hey, Liz, I'm not going to have my wife doing all the housework alone. You've got to keep up appearances, too. Yeah, Mr. Nostilt, that is $2,500, please. Thank you. Summer camp for me and Penny. $500 a piece, please. Dancing lessons, me and Penny. $200 a piece, please. Failing lessons, me, $100. Tennis lessons, Penny, $150. Total, $1,450, please. Thank you, ma'am. Tickets, please. Tickets, please. One year's commuting, $150, sir. Thank you. Food. $3,500. Insurance. $1,000, not enough. Clothes for wife, self, and family. $2,150, including one shared meeting. I hadn't had a new coat in two years. Not going to ask for a mint. New York expenses, lunches, cigarettes, taxis. $2,000. Plumbing repairs, window repairs, roof repairs, heat, light, all the things our rent used to pay the landlord for doing. Christmas presents, upkeep on two cars, upkeep on grounds around the house. Hey, Mr. Northfield, you're interested in them roses now? Roses? What roses? The first day you and the Mrs. moved in, you was talking about coming home and working with your roses. You bought a trowel. How can I take care of roses with my front yard solid with crabgrass? How can I think about trowels when you're charging me $200 after that last hurricane washed my driveway a quarter mile down the highway? Oh, all right. Fred, no, you can't spend any more. You've already spent a total of $27,500 in a year. I don't know, Liz. I don't know.   We're bound to break even sometime. Fred's plight is a deplorable, comical, tragic, incredible. It depends on the state of your own bank account and on your own morality. But in exurbia, it is not an isolated case. As a general rule, whether he lives in Bucks, Rockland, Westchester, or Fairfield County or on Long Island, the exurbanite consumer indomitably spends far more than he can earn.  Until then, it's murder. Why doesn't he get out, quit, move to another place, and give up the rat race? I'll tell you why. Anywhere else you live in these United States, it's a matter of keeping up with the Joneses. Where we live, you've got to keep ahead of the Joneses. It's we who set the styles, mold the fashions, dream the dreams for the rest of the country. What we do this week will be done a few months from now in Lake Forest in Santa Barbara and on Philadelphia's mainline. What we decree and talk about in our magazines will be picked up and talked about in Gross Point and Sea Wickley and Beverly Hills. A month from now, a million matrons will be trying to make a wonder diet dreamed up by an exurbanite woman on the 815. An exurbanite woman with a natural size 10 waist. Several millions more will be quoting the editorial in life. Teenagers from coast to coast will try to look like the girl on the cover of Mademoiselle. The man in the Hathaway shirt. The man from Schweppes. The jingle that put the words, don't be half-safe to the tune of the Volga Boltman. They all were dreamed up on the 815 and its counterparts. There isn't an advertising man, a writer, an artist, an actor, a photographer. He's finally in the United States with ideas who wouldn't give his shirt to crack New York. And so it goes. These exurbanites come from all over the United States to New York with dreams of writing that great book, painting those great pictures, staging that great play. They find the world of the mass magazine of radio, television, advertising needs fresh creative talent for its own ends. The lure of the big money is irresistible. The money increases, the dream changes. Caught in the mesh of symbols which they purvey to the rest of the nation, the country home, the foreign car, the neatly tailored lawn, the power lawnmower, they become exurbanites seeking to escape from one rat race only to find themselves in another. A few give up and paint those pictures or write that novel. Some even return to Manhattan where the landlord fixes the leak on the roof. The rest remain. Their dreams limited by money, train schedules and sheer physical fatigue. All this as you see him at home with his family at the office with his companions on the train. The exurbanite is witty, amusing, clever, entertaining. A man who is fun to be with and rewarding to talk to. Never vanquished, he now has a new secret dream of giving it all up to run a health resort for other broken down exurbanites. To own a country hotel or an antique business or actually to farm his land and make it pay. Exurbia is full of these secret dreams. Meanwhile, he does the best he can at the difficult and exciting job of living. And the job he does is under the circumstances often remarkably good.
