Colgate dental cream to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and help stop tooth decay and Luster cream shampoo for soft glamorous caressable hair bring you our miss brook starring Eve Arden It's time once again for another comedy episode of our miss Brooks under the direction of Al Lewis Well many schools hold various popularity polls from time to time and Madison High School where our miss Brooks teaches English is no exception No, and I felt extremely honored last week because I had been voted faculty queen of the football team Although I can't help thinking that they could have dreamed up a more glamorous title for me than miss pigskin of 1950 Anyway Friday morning Walter Denden picked me up in his broken down hopped up Jalopy or as the girls call it the devil's playground To drive me down to dear old Madison or as I call it the devil's playground Well Walter you seem quite chipper this morning I'm more than chipper. I'm a bird on the wing Well, I don't like to bring you down, but you just flew through a red light What's the cause of this pre dawn gaiety our football team miss Brooks? Well, you see him in action We're gonna amaze the entire gridiron world this year I thought we amazed the gridiron world last year Walter as I recall in the 15 games. We played we had a perfect record Unblemished by a single victory It's coaching that makes a difference and this year things are gonna be a lot different. We got Bronco You mean we're gonna buck our players into the end Dawson, he's one of the greatest ex players alive With him coach and Madison were a cinch seems to me. I have read his name somewhere Wasn't he voted a pure American or something? That's all American Well, I hope he does well for our team if only for mr. Boynton's sake It's amazing how the success or failure of our football team affects his spirits What's amazing about it? Mr. Boynton's always been a fan just because he's a little on the square side Maybe doesn't mean that Is that what you really think of mr. Boynton, Walter? Sure. What if he is a corn ball on the surface? Down below he's pure gold. You just got to dig a little Frankly my shovel is bent by now I mean he is a fine teacher Walter sure he is he may not be much of a spender But he sure likes to celebrate when the team does okay, you're right about that at the risk of sounding like an elephant I remember a game that they did win It was three years ago and after it we went out to dinner and then a show and then to a cafe to dance sounds terrific Oh, it was mr. Boynton was like a man in a dream In fact, it wasn't until two days later that he realized we didn't go Dutch Oh Bronco will add to your store of happy memories this season miss Brooks, especially with stretch snotgrass in the backfield Oh, what an athlete that kid is he's got a great pair of legs a great pair of arms and a real head on his shoulders That's the best kind You don't get something into that head I know stretch isn't any Einstein in the classroom, but on that field He's a genius and he's sure crazy about Bronco. Yeah, especially after what happened yesterday Did you hear about it? Well, I stretch was pushing a wheelbarrow full of football equipment across the field See when three hoodlums sneaked up on him. Yes I and while two of them held stretch down the other guy made off with the stuff Well Bronco came along about then he saw it was going on and boy did he light into those two guys Yes, I heard about it Why did you make me repeat the whole thing? Adventure story Oh what an athlete that Bronco is used to be heavyweight boxing champion of the Navy, you know Yeah, he was telling mr. Boynton the other day He's gonna give him some tips on the manly art of self-defense. He better not mr. Boynton's defense is tough enough as it is Say there's stretch locking up his bike I stretch old pal Well, miss Brooks good morning stretch No, ma'am. Walter and I would just what do you mean? No, ma'am It's not a good morning. Not only is it not a good morning. It's a rotten morning What's wrong? I got a good mind to quit this old school. That's what I got a good mind to quit But you can't do that stretch not after all the time you've put in Walder's right stretch one more year and you're eligible for a pension Well, this ain't no time to be whismical miss Brooks I'm not being whismical stretch I'm just trying to be realistic. I thought we was gonna have a swell football team this year because we had old Bronco Dawson coaching us But now we ain't we ain't we haven't that's right. We ain't Why ain't we Conklin seen him fighting those rough necks on the school grounds yesterday without giving him any chance to explain Snitch to the board of education had him fired. Oh, we gotta do something. That's not fair Are you sure you've got the fact straight stretch did mr. Conklin just arbitrarily dismissed Bronco exactly he just artabella re-candom Some of the guys in the team are so sore they're talking about not showing up for practice after school But they shouldn't do that. They need the practice. That's what I said. I told them they'd just be spiting their own noses Spiting their own noses sure there must be some other way to get Bronco back Wait a minute. I've got an idea Miss Brooks who was just voted queen of football at Madison? I was correct Now who is the logical candidate to step into mr. Conklin's office and demand Bronco's reinstatement? Would you repeat the question, please? Waller's right miss Brooks. You gotta talk to mr. Conklin. Oh, but boys. I don't carry any weight. Well, you're built as just as good I just don't get along with mr. Conklin. Oh, you've got to do it miss Brooks And think of mr. Boynton you said yourself mr. Boynton's a new man when the team's going good Well, he is but I can see it all now Bronco puts a winning team on the field you and mr. Boynton watch their glorious victory Mr. Boynton takes you out to dinner and then to a movie and after that you go to a nightclub and you dance The music is soft and dreamy and as mr.   I'll eat them right here We'll continue in just a moment, but first here is Vern Smith Readers digest reports the results of one of the most extensive experiments in dentiferous history Yes, readers digest reports the very same research which proves brushing teeth right after eating with Colgate dental cream Stops tooth decay best and here are additional important facts Over a two-year period the Colgate way stopped more decay for more people than ever before reported in dentiferous history Yes, the Colgate way of brushing teeth right after eating stopped tooth decay best Better than any other home method of oral hygiene even more important There were no new cavities whatever for more than one out of three who used Colgate's as directed No other dentiferous Ammoniated or not has proof of such results the best results ever reported for a dentiferous of any type And you should know that Colgate dental cream while not mentioned by name was the only toothpaste Used in the research reported in July readers digest Yes, Colgate dental cream and only Colgate dental cream was used in this research So always use Colgate's to clean your breath while you clean your teeth and when you follow the Colgate way Colgate dental cream stops tooth decay best Walter and stretch convinced me that without Bronco Dawson Madison couldn't have a winning football team and I knew that without a winning football team I couldn't have a winning evening with mr. Boynton So I let them aim me in the direction of mr. Conklin's office and wish me good luck Do the best you can miss Brooks remember. We're rooting for you. We sure are miss Brooks Please try your uttermost to get old Bronco reinstrated I'll do whatever I cray and stretch So long miss Brooks Now there goes a great gal. I only hope mr. Conklin's in his pleasant mood Which one is that? When he doesn't bite you on sight Don't worry about his being too rough on anybody today, Walter I think I softened him up for a while when I done what I done this morning. He's probably scared stiff Stretch what did you do? I thought I'd make him sweat a little on a kind of what he'd done to Bronco So I phoned him up and put a handkerchief over the mouthpiece to disguise my voice What did you say to him? I just said hi. I'm mr. Conklin. This is Bronco Dawson.  Is he busy? Do you know I don't think so? But he's awfully nervous every time he hears a sound he practically jumps under his desk And he's had the custodian put a big lock and chain on his door sounds like he's expecting me Maybe you can find out what's bothering him. He wouldn't tell me a thing. All right, Harriet. I'll see you in class. Bye Who goes there? It's a friend miss Brooks. Are you alone miss Brooks? Yes, sir. I am one moment, please I'll let you in Getting quickly off for good behavior. How you're devastating bomb mose. Just don't tweak me this morning I'll get to the point. What do you want of me?  Conklin? I wanted to talk to you about somebody else who Bronco Dawson Pulley oh, but he isn't mr.  Conklin.    Conklin The case is closed in a few days the board will provide us with a new coach I wish you'd reconsider this matter mr. Conklin It means a great deal not only to me, but to the entire student boyton a student body You see the team has just voted me faculty queen congratulations your majesty Now with your permission, I'd like to back away from the royal presence. I've got things to do. Yes, sir Oh One moment just before you came in the custodian told me that some of the players he spoke with Are planning to cut football practice after school today. Yes, I know but that can all be changed I think so too and since you're so popular with the boys It seems entirely possible that you could have a hand in changing it. What are you getting at mr. Conklin? I have another crown for your head queeny You are hereby appointed temporary football coach Oh, but mr. Conklin, there's no need for that if you'll only give bronco a chance to explain The mere fact that he was an all-american fullback and heavyweight champion of the navy is no reason for you to be afraid of him Afraid of him? Who said I was afraid of him? Osgood Conklin fears no man You forget miss brooks that you are speaking to the former captain of the Rutgers tug-of-war team For three years I was anchor man on that team Atlas they used to call me And no matter how tenacious our adversary I could always be dependent upon to see Heavyweight champion of the navy It's just the phone you can come out from under the desk atlas Oh, oh, yes One moment, please This may be another threatening call from bronco miss brooks. I I'll have to ask you to wait in the hall But mr. Conklin, if I lose my temper with him, I may forget to use the king's english Come I'll let you out. Yes, sir Zimmerman's butcher shop I'm very happy to hear from you very happy indeed Well, what does that got to do? You ought to be ashamed of yourself Bronco was the best football coach that madison ever had now, please margaret my actions in this matter were completely justified I simply had to do something if I were a man.   What that's how much of a gentleman He is. He told me himself. He would never hit anyone in the presence of a woman He wouldn't Well, perhaps we'd better discuss this another time margaret. I'll talk to you later. I've been suddenly taken busy. Good day Come in miss brooks. I don't want to seem insistent mr.   You mean I'm awake now Oh, there's the bell mr. Conklin. I've got a class starting You mean we've got a class miss brooks I have long been of the opinion that a man in my position should occasionally refurbish his education And where can I better acquire additional knowledge than by kneeling at the feet of wisdom? Your feet miss brooks if I knew you were coming out of shine my shoes Heavy weights miss brooks. Oh, thanks, mr. Boyden. It was very nice of you to offer your assistance this afternoon I don't know much about football. That's all right, miss brooks Of course, I can't help feeling that mr. Conklin should never have let bronco Dawson go If it's not too late, I'd like to talk to him about it Do you know where I could find mr. Conklin now miss brooks probably in the bottom drawer of his desk He's afraid that bronco is going to beat him up for getting him fired Oh, but that's absurd bronco is a very peaceful sort of chap You know, I got to know him pretty well in recent days. He told me he liked everything about madison Even mr. Conklin. In fact, he was planning on bringing his wife here from millsboro I didn't know bronco was married. He never mentioned having a wife. I know He's an odd one when it comes to women. He's an odd one I I meant he keeps his private life pretty much to himself He sort of confided in me though even told me he had a baby a couple of years ago never mentioned it to his soul Must have been quite a surprise to his wife I guess it's too late to do anything about bronco now. He hasn't even come back to school for his uniform Pardon me, miss brooks. We got the blackboard all set up for skull practice. Good. Get the skulls together and we'll practice Where's the board set up water right near the tackling pit?  I hope he didn't forget Hey, get a load of me folks. I borrowed bronco dawson's uniform for today. It's the old number at 99 He wore in college. Oh good old 99 and that yellow jersey is hot stuff. All right Well, how do you like him miss brooks? Now? I know how mustard looks when it's happy But stretch where's your own uniform? Well, that showed up missing one of those hoods glommed on it yesterday while bronco was clobbering the other two How does that go again? I'll translate mr. Boydham stretch means his uniform was pilfered by one brigand while our football coach was taking punitive measures against his confederates How does that go again? Well, we better get going. I want to see if that laundry sack has been stuffed You know honor me have an old bronco's uniform on miss brooks Don't you think I ought to get the first shot at tackle practice? Well, don't look at me stretch You'll have to settle for the sack What are you doing on the athletic field? I was on my way home harriet left the building through the side entrance today But why daddy? Just for kicks You know for a minute, I thought you might be looking for old 99 I was hoping he might have changed your mind about letting him go old 99 Yes, that's what a lot of the kids call bronco dawson. Those are the numerals. He wore on his college uniform He's kept them to this day. I hope I've seen the last of bronco dawson and his numerals I'm afraid you're not going to get your hope daddy. It looks like old 99 is coming out of the gym now. Where? Oh there. Oh dear I'd like to stay and watch some practice, but I've got a date with susie prentice at 315 and I Golly, I'm late. See you later daddy. I've got a run. You've got to run Oh, no, no, I better not. He'd nail me in a minute on this open field I've got to hide. Ah, this laundry bag I'll just hop in here and pull the string champion of the navy yet This dummy will you folks? All right, waller. I'll help too I'm glad kenny didn't forget to stuff it from the way it feels. It must have stuffed it with blubber It was just hoisted up between these uprights. Yeah Remember fellas hit it low and hit it hard. Come on stretch. You started off. Okay. Here goes That's a pretty nice tackle stretch, but a little too low. What do you mean too low, mr. Boyden? I thought I hit it just right. Why don't you show him what you mean, mr. Boyden? Me but I haven't played football in years. Oh go ahead, mr. Boyden with your physique. You'll grind that old sack in the powder Well, I'll try it if you want me to I'll get a good running start Now stretch mr. Boyden can probably teach you plenty so stop that groaning fool me Wonderful mr. Boyden, but you can feel hard. You knocked the wind out of yourself No, I didn't I feel great gosh. Look at that sack. It's all lopsided Tides at once It's often necessary for two men to bring down the ball carrier now stretch you hit him high and I'll hit him low Right, mr. Boyden this time. I'll make that old sack holler uncle Uncle No, sir, didn't you say something? No, waldo. Was that you not me?  Brooks? It wasn't me Isn't anyone going to ask me The sack it talked Oh, it sounds like mr. Conklin's in there. Oh heavens quick release those pulleys. I'll get the draw strings Yes, mr. Brooks, it is and I blame you for this entire outrage Me but I you knew I was threatened by bronco dosen You knew I was trying to hide from it and what more logical place for me to hide Than here in this laundry bag, but that's not fair mr. Conklin. I like you should have known I was in there when you helped hoist me up I'm sorry, mr. Conklin. I have an ironclad alibi an alibi Yes, sir. Just take a look at the size of that bag.

Conklin that I wasn't the one responsible for his bruised condition Of course walter stretch and the rest of the team showed amazing loyalty as soon as the bag was opened They ran giggling into the hills Then mr. Boykin went to the gym for some iodine and I tried to soothe mr. Conklin He certainly was banged up. There was a big lump here small lump there here a lump there a lump As good conklin was a mess Miss Brooks, do you know what I'll do if I ever get my hands on that bronco Dawson? Yes, sir. You'll hold his arms now lie still mr. Conklin. Hi miss Brooks Why is daddy stretched out on fun? Take it easy harry. It's your daddy's been helping the football team, but the way he locks He's worried harry.

A Chevron woman is dead after walking into traffic along Highway 2. Minnesota State Patrol officers were busy this afternoon reconstructing the scene in Chevron. The accident happened shortly before 8 Tuesday night when 37-year-old Jason Troy Shewitt was driving a car westbound on Highway 2 in Chevron when 24-year-old Ada Louise Vesda walked out into the traffic lens and was struck. Vesda was taken to the Bagley-Sanford Hospital but died from her injuries. The State Patrol said it is unknown if Vesda was under the influence of alcohol. Shewitt was wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash and was not injured.

Hello and welcome back to the cross-frogs. My name is Brenton today. There was a 101 Death Walkthrough episode 130 and we're talking to Ado right now by accident. You're looking for Gwendolin. Aye, the Queen is here. Go and present yourself. Hello, are you a mysterious wizard? A questing knight? A virtuous hero? Or something of each? You are searching for the Sword of Kings? Who put you on this quest? Merle Ambrose? Of course that trickster would still live. I see you are no full knight yet. You must finish proving yourself before you might be able to wield the Sword of Kings. Meditate at the lightning-burned tree on Dragon Hill to summon Sir George Martin and ask him to knight you. Okay, um... So yeah, last episode was a long one and... yeah. Oh, I remember these. These are hard to get around. Annoying. Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. Oh my gosh, that was skills. That was some skills right there. Okay. Close your eyes and meditate on the nightly virtues you have learned about so far. Suddenly, there is a crash of thunder. A pilgrim from Dandara or from much further away. Oh, hello. Hail and well met, knight Anand. Why do you come to this forsaken place? Queen Gwendolyn sent you for my counsel? I was a famous worm slayer in my day until Catalan, the lightning lizard, ended my string of victories. It still preys on the weakened powerless. Could you find Catalan in its lair and defeat it easing my burden? Okey-dokey. Can we already go back to... Kelvin McCann? Fantastic. Okay, um... Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-boo. This one. Okay. Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Yay! Okay. Let us defeat Catalan. Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. Load. It has been a long time since I feasted on a night.  Good to know. Okay. Let us do this. Ba-ba-ba-bum. Here you go, second. That's cool. Fantastic, we went first. Yay. Okay, um... Two... Storm. We will faint, start, and then we'll start blading after. Ba-ba-ba-bum. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bum. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bum. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bum. Ba-ba-ba-bum. Four-ten. Fizzle Unlucky. Raven as well, right there. Didn't know that it was in here, but it is. So, that's cool. Obviously, that was a... TC faint that we used. I don't remember these things you see. That's hard. Um... He's gonna do something big. And I am kind of worried. What are you doing? A storm trap? Oh, a bubble. Okay. You're working as a team, I see. Interesting. Oh my god, Sirens. This is gonna do a bit. We're also gonna have a met, really, a critical. Okay. Rip us. Um... Okay, do we have an enchant for that? It is enchanted, okay. So, we're just gonna save our perps and do... Gamut and Fizzle Unlucky. Unlucky. Okay, this is bad. We did. We're RIP. Least you wasted your perps. Something that's cool. Okay, what we're gonna do... We're gonna blade... Twice and hit, I think, hopefully. Definitely twice. Maybe more, but definitely twice. Depends if they hit this round, which they probably are. Yes. And how much they do. We need to hit. We could be dead here. We could be dead here. Please, Fizzle. No, okay. We're dead. Bye. Rip... Riparone. Yeah, okay, we're dead. Okay. I'll be back in just a bit. Okay. I am back. Hopefully. Ages later, we should have him dead. Which is good. Dr. Vaughn to finish him off. Okay. Crit, that's nice. Finally critting, like what? Okay. Could have used that a long time ago, but that's fine. Okay, there we go. Where is the raven right here? The crow in fact. There we go. How many black crows do we have left? One, two, three. Three. Fantastic. Three left, yay. Okay, let us talk to Sir George once more. You danced with the dragon and survived. You fought a great battle against Catalan. You have a future in Wormsling if you ever want to give up the wizard life. You have eased my heavy burden, but I cannot knight you. I am sorry, but I am too far gone. Too far on the other side.  Let us head on back to Gwendolyn who is not getting stuck on a rock like me. Who is over here to be careful of the Fomori. She is right over here. Hello. I'm back, yay. You defeated Catalan. That is a great victory for the good people of Avalon. I can tell you have visited several of the Nightly Shrines. The Shrine to Nobility of Kings and Knights and common people like you is in disrepair. Speak to Brigid in the Burial Ground and find out how to repair the Shrine to Nobility. Return here when it is restored. Okay then. I think we are going to have to defeat another boss probably. Because it seems that instead of defeating Collect Quests we have bosses, which are cool except they are still basically the same thing every single time. Not that I'm complaining because it's better than defeating a thousand to get a thousand things. So yeah, I'm not complaining, I'm just, you know. Night Arendt, you seek to reclaim the Shrine to Nobility. The Shrine's sacred shield was ripped away by the Ogre, Urg. Urg dwells in the Froudling Village. Recover the shield and have it repainted before you return it to the Shrine. Repainted, we're going to have to go to the... Didn't we have to collect paint and... Keleon, I think so. We're going to have to go there then probably. Urg's Tower. Urg. That's what I'm saying when we have to defeat these sort of things. Okay. One, two, one. One. Okay. Three, two, one. Boom. What do we got here? My name is Urg. One punch and your face will be broken. Or leave you split wide open. Okay then. Let us do this. Urg. Boop. And... Don't need you or you. Draw thrice. Okay. We will do you first. Okay. Hydra. What's this? What's this? Natural attack. No way. Okay, that did quite a lot. Boom. Don't need you. But we will need one of you, thank you. Okay. Double faint. Which is great. New. To blade a bit. Boom, boom, boom, boom. That did a lot. Yikes. Okay. Let us entrant you. Discard you. And we will start blading. That did nothing. What's this? Blizzard. Ice people in their blizzards and waverings. They love them. And they're criticals apparently. Okay. Two blades. We need three at least. Preferably four. Okay, correct shield there. Good job. Fizzle, that's unfortunate. We're you. But we will grab one of you. Three blades. What's this? Okay, that's good. What's this? This better not be a tile shield. Good. Thank you. Can't be too sure these days. 13,000. Well, we'll do this one as well. That's four blades. That should be fine, hopefully. Hopefully. Okay. And another one of their favourites, apparently. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Here we go. Let's see how much this does. I am with a weak critical now, which we probably won't. See? Told ya. Okay. Which is fantastic. And you are not dead yet. Well, we can.  How much health do you have? You have 1,900. Okay. That should be fine, hopefully. Now we just pass forever. Forever, forever. What is this? Icezilla. What? No. Oh, please. Okay. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Fizzle. And... Pass. If we don't kill, I'm going to be annoyed. And if we tower shield, I'm also going to be annoyed. I think we're going first. I don't know. I don't know anymore. Ice Wyvern. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Okay. Hopefully. Nope. We fizzled. That's unfortunate. No. Why would you do that?    What a headache this is giving me. Seriously, game? Seriously? Seriously? You really want me to do this, don't you? Oh, man. Yikes. Well, at least he's got like no health now. I mean, that's probably a good thing. Okay. Da dum, ba dum, ba dum. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. I should probably blade at least once because he's still got 1,200. We'll hit next. Maybe a mistake, but who cares anymore? Who cares? Not me. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Nice colossus. Really critical. You would, wouldn't you, game? You would. Okay. Let's go. Let's do this. Bye. Didn't like you. This photo takes a long time. Critical. Thank you. I mean, we could have used that when we scarecrowed. For either of the times. But nope. Yep, well, it's no longer the old days, is it? Okay, we are just going to leave a mark out here. Just so there's at least some chance of getting back. Um, easily. And we will head over to Abbey Road. Which is this way. Da dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Da dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum, ba dum. Okay. Where is Ashlyn? That is a very good question. Ashlyn, where are you? Please tell me you're not too far away. Please don't tell me you're over the other side of the road. Note you're right here. That's cool. You need my help to touch up a relic from the shrine to nobility? I'd be honored. Let's see what I can do. Ashlyn mixes a batch of paints and gets to work. It's amazing what a talented artist can do. Seemingly effortlessly. There you go. What do you think? You should be able to ease it back into its spot on the shrine. Okay, that was great. Great. We're just going to see if there is a teleporter open. Because I think there was, there was definitely one and um, actually it's in the word. The weird, the word. Good job. The weird, so I might just head over to the weird since we've got a port there. That's fine. It's fine. Over here, where is it in fact? I don't even know. Oh, it's done, down by Dandara. I'll put it somewhere that is over here somewhere. Where is it? I don't know. Very good question. Very, very good question up here. Oh, hello. What's up here? I haven't been up here before. What's the shrine? That looks great. A proper shrine to nobility of kings and knights and common people like you. Well then, let me cut on to where in Dandara. I am back at Gwendolyn. You have restored the shrine to nobility. Well done. It is not enough to raise your status but it shows your dedication. You need to pluck a silver rose from the garden at the Tower of Belregard. You'll have to deal with the Black Knight. Oh, yikes. Oh, we're gonna have to defeat him if she says deal with. That's unfortunate. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Where is this? Just over here. Hello, Black Knight. None shall pass. You insist? Then meet me inside Belregard with your weapon of choice in hand. Okay, we need to defeat her. Fantastic. Nice work, game. We all love you. Yes, we don't.  Bald Garden. Weird. Go to the tower. What are you going to say? I will defeat you now. Ooh, okay. I wanna see what that looks like. I'll be back once I've defeated her. Okay, finally finished off that. Um, it's about a scratch. I've had worse, no. No, I haven't. Um, okay, let us go and talk to the Black Knight. I have failed in my duty, and now my brother Finn will die. Why? For he is trapped herein by a fairy's curse. A spell has been placed around the Garden Wall. If you breach the wall to get a rose, the tower will fall and kill him. Please speak to Finn upstairs. Okay. I've been cursed by the Fairy Melazine to stay in this tower until it falls. I'd heard stories of her wit and beauty. I surprised her at her pool outside Belregarde. I wanted to talk to her, but I guess I scared her. Could you talk to her and apologise for me? I'd do anything to show her I was a friend! And get her to lift the curse. Okay, then. Don't know who this is. But we're gonna go and talk to her. She is all the way over there. Okay, just we way away, that's fine. Due to load um, so yeah, that was kind of hard. They hit a lot of health And I nearly died again, but you know, it's fine. Oh, hello. Did you come from what do you want? The boy thing meant me no harm. Are you certain? I'm sure he was horrified by my tail I cursed him so he couldn't attack me He offered to do anything to make things right if he wants to get to know me He must swim as I do. I have an idea. You'll need silver from the scurvy skirkers in the weird. Take it to Llewellyn in Dundara to fashion a triton's tail. Okay, um, I'll be back once I've collected the silver. Okay, I have the silver. A triton's tail? What a request. Let me see what I can do. Play. This is the best I could fashion. It certainly looks right, but there is no magic in it. Llewellyn hands you a silver triton's tail. Perhaps the three-color serpent put it- The three-color serpent? I have her teller him. A tricksy one for sure. But if you are brave enough to ask, maybe he'll do it. Okay, I'll be back once I'm at the three-colored serpent. Okay, I am back. Wizard, I saw in my divine treasure that you would return. I will do you one favor for your previous kindness. Enchant your fish tail. Simplicity itself.  He chance words of power over it, causing it to glow with magic. A knoll. It is done. Take it wizard, and consider us even. Okay, um, let us head on back to Melusini. And we'll give her the tail, I think. Yeah, I think that's what we're doing, I don't know, but hopefully. Um, yes, she is over here. Don't get pulled, that would be bad. Wouldn't chase too much, 200. That's pathetic, 130. Who do you think I am? You actually did it? You have surprised me. I am a fairy of my word. I lift the curse of imprisonment on thin ginger snap. With your new triton's tail, you can stay with me in the water half the time. And for the other half, we can live in the tower of Belregard.

Without getting into too much of what is going on, we all realize what the crisis is all about. But the crisis really has impacted us in three ways. And before I get into it, all I can say is one thing. Let us not overrate the crisis and threat that we are facing. And let us not underrate our strength to fight and win. I repeat, let us not overrate the crisis and threat that we are facing. And let us not underrate our strength to fight and win. Now think about it. This crisis impact is three ways. One, our life, two, our livelihood and three, our lifestyle. Now life is one part is, first of all, nobody knows amongst us who will be in quarantine next. Nobody knows. And two, what we do, where we go and who we meet could be a matter of life and death. That is, we are facing that situation. And number two is, is the livelihood component. All over the world you find there are job cuts, there are salary cuts, there are pay cuts all over the world. With the result, individuals have lost income, businesses have literally lost income and there are some businesses that are closed permanently. And at least in the restaurant trade, people are saying 40% of businesses are going to close permanently. And the third party is even the governments have lost income because they're not collecting any taxes either. Now with that scenario, I just want to bring in two things. And that is that who are the worst sufferers in the whole crisis? There are three kinds of people. One, the super rich, two, the mediocre and three, the poor.  They're the daily wage earners. They work during the day, eat in the evening, work during the day, eat in the evening. They're the worst hit. Now then comes the super rich. Super rich, they don't have a livelihood problem. Folks, I just read Apple computers has $250 billion in cash reserve. How can they have a livelihood problem? And similarly, there are people within the world and within India, the Adonis, the Ambani, the Berlas, the Tatars. I'd be totally surprised if they also have a livelihood problem. They don't. But now that leaves the third parties, the mediocre. Where possibly people like me fall in and maybe some other listeners, they might be falling in. Now people who are the mediocre level, they are thinking one thing. Will the crisis finish before the money or will the money finish before the crisis? That is a big question that is coming to people's mind. Now with that, people have started distinguishing between active income and passive income. See active income is I go to work, I get money, I go to work, I get money. I don't go to work, I get no money. That's called active income. Now people are realizing that even if I don't go to work, I must get money. So we need to generate passive income. Now we had another pension tax consulting practice in the US where I sold my company and we used to plan for our clients that you must have one year of your income in emergency fund where you should be able to access that money within less than 24 hours. Why? Because emergencies and accidents never warn you in advance. But those who don't have it, it's a little too late. But going forward, they can do the planning accordingly. Now, the third part of the livelihood part is I had a banker come to visit me the other day and I asked him, you're working with 30% staff. They're working at 30% staff. I said, are you working at 30% efficiency levels? He said, no, we're working at 60, 70% efficiency level. And we are looking to go to 90% efficiency level with 30% staff. I said, how would you manage? He said, all the people who were on manual banking earlier, we're putting them on digital banking, especially the senior citizens. They were scared of technology. But now he said, we're putting everybody on technology and digital platform. Therefore, we are able to reach 60, 70, 80% and we're shooting for 90% efficiency with 30% staff. So my next question was, if you're reaching 90% efficiency with 30% staff, does that mean that when the crisis is over, the 60% staff will be redundant? You won't need them anymore. If you're reaching 90%, well, those are things that people have to start looking at it. But my next question was, I said, you are paying certain salary, whether salary cut 50%, 25% and including, by the way, in Singapore, the Manpower Ministry has gone in and they are talking of 75% salary cuts, 75%. So my question was, that whatever salary you are paying right now, are you getting equivalent work out of people? Can you justify that? So he said, sir, work from home, is it working all right? His answer was, sir, that 80-20 rule applies. And the 80-20 rule says that only 20% people can work without supervision. Only 20% people. 80% people cannot work without supervision. And besides, even if you give them measurable targets, you still need to chase them. So sadly, I personally feel the number is not 80-20, maybe in this case it's 90-10. And besides, how do you work out from home in some industry like manufacturing? You can't? How do you work, work from home in a construction industry? You can't? There are some things you just cannot. And sadly, people who are not mature, they are thinking that working from home is a paid vacation. It is not, they need to understand working from home is not a paid vacation. Okay. Now coming to the third component is the lifestyle part. You see, till now, till the crisis came, till the lockdown came, all of us, we were all on the fast lane. Everybody was running, running, running. Now we didn't know where were we going, but we were going, everybody was going. We didn't have any time. Now look at this. The amount of time saving devices we have today, we've never had that many in history and yet we don't have what? Time. You know why? Because somewhere we messed up our priorities. And I'm not teaching you just to give lectures. I'm guilty myself. And sadly, whenever we mess up our priorities, we forget to distinguish between what's urgent in life and what's important in life. Urgent may or may not be important. And important may or may not be urgent. But the interesting thing is whenever we ignore what is urgent, important, it always converts into urgent. Now health is important but not urgent. Exercising every day is important but not urgent. Now if I have a crucial meeting tonight and if I cannot exercise, it's not the end of the world. But if I ignore my health long enough, guess what happens? I'll end up in the hospital. Same thing. In life, relationships are important but they're not urgent. Now if we ignore relationships long enough, guess what? We start talking to our lawyers. The funny thing is whenever we ignore what is important, it converts into urgent. Now, important thing is that this lockdown has literally forced people to step backwards. And till now, we're all running and now people are checking where we were running in the right direction. And now people have realized that direction is much more important than speed. I repeat, direction in life is much more important than speed. And one more thing that has come up is the difference between discretionary and non-discretary spending. You see, now people have realized we always used to hear cash is king. Cash is king. What did it mean? See folks, it is better to have money in the bank than having 50 shirts in your closet. It is better to have money in the bank than buying a car worth quarter million dollars. Now they understand what it means by cash is king. Okay, so much for the lifestyle part. But let me just share one little thing that the only comparison in history of this kind of crisis we have had is the Spanish flow, which I'm sure you must have heard a long time. So I'm not going to repeat that. And the other was the Great Depression of 1929. Interestingly, 1929, the banks failed, stock market crashed, people lost their savings. $100 became $15. I repeat $100 became $15. Dollar lost its value by 85%. And 15 million people lost their jobs only in U.S. Now 15 million then is equivalent to 50 million today because population in U.S. was at that time only 120 million. And I just checked the figures last week, 51 million people are on unemployment list in the U.S. Now what is the silver lining? Folks, the silver lining is that experience has shown that whenever unemployment has gone up, self-employment has always gone up. I repeat, whenever unemployment has gone up, self-employment has always gone up. And during that depression, there were some people who started the business enterprise then and today they are household words. Now they have no money, no risk-taking ability, they were not educated people, they were not techies. But one thing they had was they were positive people, they were solution-focused people. But there are some people who are problem-focused. You know what that means?  They have a problem for every solution. Henry Ford said, kick them out. Kick them out. You don't need such people. But they were solution-focused and folks, they set up their enterprise then and today they are household words. And think about it, how come under the same set of circumstances, some people break records while others break themselves? How come? Identical circumstances. So I'm going to share with you only three examples. One was a man by the name of George Jenkins. In his neighborhood, he started a little outlet for non-perishable, durable goods. Now these two words are very important, non-perishable and durable goods. If they were perishable and they didn't sell, it would be lost, they couldn't take it. Durable means if they didn't sell, they could at least use it in the family. And this is how he started. But today, his turnover is $30 billion. His net worth is $6 billion. He has 1,000 outlets in the U.S. And the store's name is called Public Supermarket. That's one. Number two. Another man, the two brothers, Gallo brothers in California, they were struggling. But they got some grapes and started crushing them made wine out of it. But nobody buy it. Nobody had the money to buy it. So they started selling the wine at 50% below market. 50% below market. Folks, that's how they started. And today the Gallo wineries accounts for 25% of the wine trade in the U.S. And they're worth $10 billion. And the third example was a man by the name of Simplot in Ida who had a small patch of land. He started cultivating potatoes. Now when he couldn't sell the family it and what he couldn't eat started rotting. So they could not afford the loss of rotten potatoes. So he started freezing them. This is how he started. And today he accounts for 33% of the French fries business in the U.S. McDonald's being his largest customer and he's worth $10 billion. Now folks, I don't want you to leave with the impression that you and I, that he starts and we'll all become billionaires. That is not the message. The message is very clear that they were solution focused. We need to be solution focused. I repeat how come under the same set of circumstances, there are some people break records and some people who break themselves. How come? Okay, now this crisis has impacted us three ways. One is physically, medically. I'm not a medical doctor so I'm not going to talk about it too much. Two is economically. I want to talk about this one here economically. And people have started realizing today that bottom line is more important than top line. I repeat bottom line is more important than top line. And the next part is that people have realized till now the word was globalization, globalization, globalization. Now all of a sudden people are saying localization, localization, localization. Why? Folks, till now the production was 20,000 miles away from consumption. And all of a sudden people have realized what if a country blackmills us tomorrow? They're 20,000 miles away. We're dead. Folks, I was surprised to hear that USA, United States depends on China for 97% of the pharma products. 97% India depends on China for 81% of the antibiotics. India depends on China for 70% electronics. So now people have realized all of a sudden that a country can blackmail us and we'll be gone forever. So consumption must come closer to production. Now, so much for that. Now finally, physically, economically, psychologically. Psychologically is the emotional side. Folks, this is the most important part because people are facing stress, anxiety, depression, frustration and anger. I do a program called How to Turn a Setback into a Comeback and over a million people have just gone through my webinars in the last 60 days. And there I share with people that emotional stability is crucial. And folks, people who are emotionally strong, they are coming out stronger from this crisis. And people who are emotionally weak, they're falling apart. WHO came up with a report which said that domestic violence has gone up by 50%. Interesting. People who are emotionally strong, they're coming out stronger. Now, let me share, since I don't have a whole lot of time, but I'm just going to share with you one thing. I cover nine steps, nine steps how to overcome the crisis, nine steps. But I'm going to share only one right now in the interest of time. How do you overcome the stress level of this crisis? Folks, about 45 years ago, when I went to U.S., I attended a program by Dr. Norman Winston Peale. The man who wrote the book, Power of Positive Thinking. There were a thousand people and there was one of them. Dr. Peale came, looked at everybody, and said, you people appear so cool, calm, relaxed, comfortable. It appears nobody has a problem. Then he asked, does anybody here have a problem? Again, everybody raised their hand. Yes, we have a problem. Then he said, how many of you would like to get rid of the problem? Again, everybody raised their hand. Then Dr. Peale said, on my way here to this congregation, I came across a place where I saw some people where they were all stretched out, totally relaxed. They had no problem whatsoever. How many people would like to know where that place is and everybody raised their hand? We want to know. So then Dr. Peale said, two blocks away from here, there is a cemetery. There are people lying there all stretched out, totally relaxed. They have no problem whatsoever. And then he asked, how many people would like to get rid of the problem? Nobody raised their hand, everybody put their hand in the pocket. Then Dr. Peale said something which is very profound. He said, problem is a sign of life. So long as we are alive, we shall have problems. But then we don't have problem, we'd be dead. And then he said, we cannot solve all our problems, but we can handle them. And folks, that day he gave a prayer which is called the serenity prayer, which cross probably not his either. And some of you might have heard it before, but I'll share it twice in case people want to jot it down. It is worth it. It said, the prayer goes like this, God grant me the serenity, to accept the things that I cannot change, and courage to change the things that I can, and wisdom to know the difference what I can and what I cannot. I repeat, God grant me the serenity, to accept the things that I cannot change, and courage to change the things that I can, and wisdom to know the difference what I can and what I cannot. Now folks, to me this is the crux of life. gist of life. And for the past 45 years, I have not left my home without my prayer. And I faced many adverse situations and this prayer has helped me overcome them. If you analyze and dissect this little prayer, it goes like this. God grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change. Now, let me ask you, is everything in life within our control? Is that I have control to change everything in this world? The answer is no. There are many things beyond such as, I didn't choose my parents, neither did you. I didn't decide where I was going to be born, neither did you. And if this is my height and this is the color of my skin, there's nothing I can do. And granted, sometimes people are born before. Sometimes bad things do happen to good people for no fault of their own. What wrong did they do? Who knows? How did this corona crisis come? I don't know, nobody knows, but it's here. So all it says is, if I cannot change, let me accept it graciously, not grudgingly. Because many times in life, we keep fighting the things we just cannot change and we bring stress into our lives and we become paralyzed and we become unproductive. So all it says is, if I cannot change, let me accept it graciously, not grudgingly. And two, if I can change, then give me the guts and courage to do it and raise them to know what I can and what I cannot. Now folks, when I wrote my new book, which was launched last year in London, the title of the book is, You Can Achieve More. I took this thought two steps forward and I wrote in my book that life is full of choices and life is full of compromises. Seems like a contradiction but not really.  Folks, if I ill treat you, I've chosen to be ill treated, haven't I? If I treat you with discourtesy, I've chosen to be treated with discourtesy, haven't I? If I light up a cigarette, I've chosen to invite cancer, haven't I? If I drink and drive, I've chosen to invite an accident, haven't I? If I exercise every day, I've chosen to invite good health, haven't I? If I eat too much every day, I've chosen to be obese, haven't I? If I tell lies, I've chosen to lose my credibility, haven't I? If I tell the truth, I've chosen to be a credible person, haven't I? See, life is full of choices. Now, very important thing is we are all free to the point of choice but after we make our choices, the choice controls the chooser, we have no more choice.  In life, we cannot choose the cards that are dealt to us, what we can choose and how we play the game. But sometimes nature gives us a lemon, the choice is ours. Do we cry or do we make lemonade? That's our choice. Now, what is success? Series of positive choices in life is called success and series of negative choices in life is called failure and that's it. Now, many times people do ask me, Mr. Khera, people who are successful, don't they make mistakes in life? And people who are failures, don't they do positive things in life? And my answer to them is that people who are successful, they do make mistakes in life. But remember one thing, making a mistake once in a while does not make anybody a failure. Repeating the same mistake again and again is what brings failure. And doing something positive once in a while does not bring success either. Repeating the same positive behavior again and again is what brings success. So, success is nothing else but series of positive choices in life is called success and series of negative choices in life is called failure. Folks, in the interest of time, I need to close because I do a one and a half hour program on this, how to turn a setback into a comeback, how to prepare to succeed and win, how do we motivate ourselves and others, and how do we overcome the crisis in nine steps? But as of now, I would request sort of to take over the floor and all the award winners. I congratulate everybody. God bless everybody. Stay good well, good health, and that is important. Sort of please take over. Yes. Thank you, Mr. Kera, for such inspiring words. And it means a lot at this point in time where we all are under stress and prone to maybe making mistakes and make errors in judgment. So thank you so much. We have little time left. So I'll request Mr. Tumaria to take over and then we can announce the awards. So over to Mr. Maria. Thank you so much. Okay. Thank you, Mr. Kera. It's always so good to hear you. And I think in times like this, you know, when everybody is sort of trying to find the way out of the crisis, I think your words of motivation is going to help and go a long way to help support entrepreneurs and find, you know, light at the end of the tunnel, so to say. Thank you, Ritu.  Thank you. Mr. Kera, somebody's asked a question. So Mr. Kera, you should get to a person who is currently sharing his sales journey with his firing sales professional as a sales consultant. So somebody who is helping other people to increase their sales. You know, so he's in one sense a mentor. So as a mentor, what role you should play today? Well, all I can say is that, give me the question again. I think part of it got cut off. So you know, I am helping. Okay, I'll read it out. Mr. Kera, what would you suggest to a person like me who is currently sharing his sales journey with aspiring sales professionals and a sales consultant? Okay, well, look, it's a, it's a great thing that you're doing because people need help today. They need help badly. And sadly, most people who say they are salespeople, they are not really salespeople. They're only order takers by the way. They're only order takers. And that is sad. And the opportunity for any profession today, I don't care.  That's great. You are doing sales training. That's great. That's wonderful. I don't know what your profession is. I did a program for about a couple of hundred people. And it was a very mixed group. There were doctors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, carpenters, plumbers, electricians. And that's a very mixed group. And as I came in, I said, has it been so easy to succeed in life? Ritu, I'll repeat it again. Never in the history of mankind has it been so easy to succeed in life? The way it is today, regardless of your profession, we have no competition. When I repeated myself twice, one person from the group got up and he says, how come we have no competition? I mean, there's competition everywhere. And I asked this man a question that day. And I'm asking all of your listeners the same question. And my question is, how many people do you know right now walking off the street who are willing to do a little bit more than what they get paid for? I repeat, how many people do you know right now walking off the street who are willing to do a little bit more than what they get paid for? The answer hardly any. Most people don't even want to do what they get paid for. And there's a second big category of people, they only want to do what they can get by with. And there's a very small fraction of people who are willing to do a little bit more than what they get paid for. And I asked him, if you fall into that category, I don't care what your profession is, tell me where's your competition? You see, you can't even find a good accountant today. You can't even invite a good attorney today. You can't find a good carpenter. You can't find a good plumber. And so you can't find a good anything. The question is, are you willing to do a little bit more than what you get paid for? Now, if you look at life histories of people who have succeeded and then sustained success, which is very important. Success is one thing, sustaining success is another. You succeeded and sustained success and then maintained good will. If you look at life histories of those people, you will find they have lived by one philosophy, only one philosophy. And that is, I shall always give more than what I get to my family. I shall always give more than what I get to my organization. I shall always give more than what I get to my customer. And I shall always give more than what I get to my society. Sure, absolutely. If we live by this one little principle, you tell me, where's the competition? We have no competition. We become the competition for others. Now, I'm talking about a humility, gratefulness to God. Look, I come from a business family with 1000 people working for us. The whole minds got nationalized. We came on the street. And when I left India, I'm not that educated. I'm a become third division failed in my 10th. That's my academics. Sure. When I left India, I started life in U.S. with a bucket in my hand washing cars, brought to door for two years. Then gradually selling vacuum cleaners in the evening and daytime washing cars. And then got into accidentally into selling life insurance. And I was literally on the verge of being fired. But then was there was some turning points, which when I go into my program, certain setback into comeback, I share, what are the turning points? And things turned around. I got him to move down to U.S., got into three businesses. I bought out a company out of California 1984, started a New Jersey operation with no clients. I sold my company close to 500 clients. Why do I share my life with you? The last 45 years have not been that easy. But, but here is. I'm grateful to God. And I talk out of humility. In the last 30 years, we have not made one outbound call for corporate business. That's great. I repeat, we have not been one outbound call for corporate and we are doing business for Lufthansa, Johnson and Johnson all over, all over. It has been inbound. And for every one client we take, we refuse three. You know, we are grateful to God. Why is it? Because our commitment, our commitment, why do our clients hire us? Not because we are the smartest people. There are many more qualified people than us. But our clients hire us for only one reason. Our commitment to our client is never 100%. It is always 200%. Tell me, where's the competition? So, my answer to this gentleman is in the sales training. My friend, just go do it. Sky is the limit. Sky is also not a limit. It's a hopeful field. They do a great job. And you keep moving one after the other. And that's about it.

Little fast break autograph from Prism. Orlando Magic, that's going to add, let me make sure we don't pass the cell shooter. And Ice Desmond Bain RPA. Great shooter there, Spectre RPA to 99. Memphis Grizzlies, that is John Paul. Kaokoos, but who's doing really well for the Wizards. That is to 199 and that is a 17-18 autograph. And I don't think that's his rookie. I think he might've been 16-17, but it could be wrong. I think 17-18, of course, was Longville. So he might've been 15-16 or like 14-15. And a nice Scotty Barnes. That is number to 99 for the Raptors. Now there is a Scotty Barnes up there that is a sell sheet hit, but it's not this one. That's still a very nice one, though. Raptors next over. So I figure every case has to have something pretty big. So I assume that it might be a similar player, like the ones you see there, like a Mobley, Scotty Barnes, Giannis, KD, something big on that. So we'll see how this case ends up. And a Chris Middleton. That's a 2012-13 rookie's contenders. Ticket. That's a Detroit Piston, though, going to Carl. And how about an RJ Barrett? It's a flawless patch autograph to 25, and that is a RPA rookie as well, actually. And that is for the New York Knicks going to John Paul. And I'll double check the hitless customer right now after the first 10 boxes. And we'll continue on to the next case. Jalen Suggs RPA. That's a collegiate from Limited to 99. Jalen Suggs, of course, an Orlando Magic going to Ed. Last one here in the first case, a Matisse Dible. That's a pink-rated rookie, number to 25, for the 76ers going to Donald. All right, let me actually get the list of names side-to-side with the hits. That way I can deduct who's been a hit and who hasn't hit, so 76ers, you have hit. Donald, you're not part of the giveaway. Magic Ed, not part of the giveaway. Knicks, John Paul, not part of the giveaway. Detroit, Carl not part of the giveaway. Scotty Barnes Raptors, Nick Stober, not part of the giveaway. Lakers, Donald, you're not part of the giveaway there for that team. Bane, Grizzlies, John Paul, not part of the giveaway. Orlando's already hit twice. Atlanta, John Paul not part of the giveaway. And then Pelican's Carl not part of the giveaway. All right, so there you go. I think there was one repeat hit, which is Orlando Magic twice. But still have chances to get at least another 10 hits potentially here. So I think if we were to hit one per team there shouldn't be at least 10 hit lists, but there might be a couple more though. More like 12 maybe or so because there might be a team here that hits again twice or potentially a third time. Chris Duarte, that's rookie ink for Hoops to 25. Indiana Pacers, that is the first hit for Carl. Not part of the giveaway, no more. A nice hit. Obi-Top into 25, that's a clearly Donner's. Knicks, I think were already hit before so already not part of it. Let me have a Jalen Suggs rookie ticket. Another one for Orlando's, I guess their third hit. Anthony Edwards from Revolution from Minnesota. That's a 21-22, so second year. And that is Timberwolves, which would be the first hit for Carl. There on that team, 277 of 300. Then we got a Opulence rookie autograph of O.G. Onanobi to 79, which Opulence was a very expensive product. That's another hit for the Raptors going to Nick Stover. All right, after we do the second case, guys. So again, we're going to have a couple of repeats, unfortunately, but see if we can get a couple more people with some nice hits that have not hit yet. And wow, actually we pulled the exact same card early in the first case. Another Chris Middleton for Detroit, which is going to Carl. Superlatives, Rashid Wallace, seven to 10, that's for the Blazers, which Blazers on the board, Jacob. So not part of the hit, it's probably, we got something, man. All right, three more to go. Colin Sexton, fast break rookie autograph. That's a PSA 10. And was that a sell sheet hit? No, I don't think so. Very nice one though. That's Cleveland Cavs though, which was actually hitless until now. Craig, not part of the promo no more, but nice hit. All right, two more to go, guys. We got a Jalen Johnson, NT, RPA. That's Atlanta Ox, which I believe has already been taken off. And last box, guys. So we're going to have quite a few, probably like half the customers go hitless. It looks like a lot of repeats, but a lot of customers did buy multiple spots. So it's kind of like the same names almost. And Dennis Rodman for the Bulls. So next over, your Bulls are now hit, now have a hit, so we'll not be hitless no more. All right, perfect, bull. All right, so just a double check. Bulls, yes. Atlanta's off. Cleveland, I just took off. Blazers took off.  I already wrapped. It's been taken off. Minnesota, Orlando, yes. NYX, yes. And Indiana Pacers, yes. All right, guys. Very nice cases, but like I said, still a lot of hitless customers. So we'll copy and paste this list here into the randomizer. And let's quickly move up that, move that up, move that up, move that up. All right, that should be everybody there. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. It's actually a little bit more than half. All right, if folks here you go, roll the dice. It is a six and a three. So remember, top two names, get a box each of optic Asia basketball. So six, three, nine times. Good luck. One, two. That one actually didn't go. Two, wait, wait, wait, what's going on? Why is it frozen? Is it unfroze? Everything's good? All right. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and nine. Seven, eight, and nine. Boom. Stover and Howard, congratulations. So both of you guys there will get a free box of optic Asia. All right, I appreciate it, folks. Coming up next is the World Cup Randomizer, and then we'll call it a night, guys. Thank you.


Hello and welcome. This video is part of a series I recommend checking out the previous videos. There should be a link to the playlist in the description of this video. I'm going to set this back to render the floor textures because that's what I like. And today we're going to look at lava and toxic waste things that are going to hurt you. So let me go ahead and just create another hallway down here. And now inside this sector I am going to turn off snap to grid by pressing F on my keyboard. And I am going to just create a little zigzag pattern right there. And now we create a sector within this sector. I can choose it. And I can change its floor texture to be something like lava or toxic waste. So I'll choose this type of lava. Again I'm going to move my cursor here and hit the apostrophe key to move my 3D view and hit tab to go in here. So there's your lava. You normally don't want to have the lava just like that where it goes from the texture to that. What we're going to do is we will choose that sector. And I will use the comma to move the floor down just a little bit. So there we go. And so now we have a lava sector. Now that's not going to hurt me though. It will be animated. I chose the first lava there. So let's go ahead and just give this a try. Control S, Control T to save and test. And there we go. Coming here it's not going to hurt me though. So what we're going to do is with that sector selected we're going to come up here and choose. And you can choose category although for types just as I was going to say there's not very many. And mainly you're going to choose one of three options for the lava. You can choose damage of 5. So every time it takes away damage it's going to take away 5% of your health. 10 or 20. And then if you want the lights flashing you can do 20 and damage. That would be more of sometimes you can pretend like a room is radioactive and you might want the lights flickering and hurting you. And again it just depends on how difficult you want that to be. So if you want to do a little bit of damage maybe you want to do a lot of damage and give them a lot of health packs or radiation suits. Or maybe you're not going to give them radiation suits for very long so you might want to do a lower damage. But that is how you choose that. So now that we've done that we can come in here and we can go over to here. And now it's taking away 5% each time. And of course like I said if we change that to 20 and run it again I can come over here. And now it's taking away 20 each time it gets me. I'm going to test something out real quick. I'm going to choose the texture here. And again you can change that to like the nuke here. And I chose lava 1. Let me go ahead and choose lava 3 here real quick. I want to see something. Okay I just wanted to make sure it was still animated. I wasn't sure if you didn't pick the first one if it would be animated. Another thing you want to do is like okay we have this pit of lava here but it doesn't really look like it's just weird that it's stopping at the wall there. At least I think it's weird. So what most people will do and this is again this is more of an artistic thing than a practical thing.  And I'm going to create a new little sector here. I guess I don't need snap mode on. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to choose those two sectors. And I'm going to move the ceiling down like so. So right there's now it looks like it's pouring in from under the wall. And pouring out on the other side or vice versa. So again techniques there. Again we can also turn grid off here. I'm going to go vertices and I'm going to create a rough room here. And I'm going to take that and I'm going to change the floor to be like a dirt and ceiling to be the same thing I guess. Now I'll choose the textures and I will go to something that's more of a rocky stone or something like that. And I'm getting into switches. I guess I can choose something like this. I'm just going to see how that looks. It actually looks horrible but we'll leave it like that. And then again I can vertices mode. I can make a nice little pond. And now I can choose that again. Move the sector down a little bit. Usually just eight is fine which is one click. I want to change that to be something. I'm looking for like just a brown on dirt is probably at the top. Yeah all the way here we go that looks good. And we will change the ground to be something. Whoops I didn't mean to scroll on that. There's water in here as well. We can do I guess it's not called water. We'll look for it. I guess maybe W would be good enough. No. We'll just scroll. Oh I'm on wall textures that's why I'm not seeing it. Sector mode. Now let's try water. There we go. And now we have a water texture and you don't have to make that hurt you. You don't have to make the other stuff hurt you if you don't want. What I usually like to do, you know if I have water here or again maybe lava. Sometimes I like to take that. Let's talk about sky textures. So let's go ahead. We have this sector selected. I'm going to go ahead and move the ceiling up a little bit.  Which looks like a sky. I'm going to right click or click here and choose that. So I'll just right click. And it just gives you a blue but that's going to be a sky. And the sky texture that shows up in the game depends on what level you're on in the game. The game is set to show different sky textures based on what level you're on because certain levels you might be in hell, certain levels you might be on the moon, certain levels you might be on earth. So it's whatever level it is. Let's go ahead and save this. Now again, I did not add anything to that texture over there. This one will hurt me taking away 20 each time. This one does not. So you got to make sure that you put that sector type to do that. But you can see our sky texture there. And that's how you do skies by choosing that texture. And that can be a little funky depending on the way your walls go. But in this particular case, that was pretty easy. So you have this nice little opening in the ceiling where the lava pit is. And yeah, that's pretty much it for lava and toxic waste. Obviously, let's go ahead and change this to be nuke. And then things I can add here under bonus material, bonus things. We can choose a suit. And let's go ahead and choose this and now make it damage you. You can make any sector damage. It doesn't have the texture on the floors and ceilings and walls. It doesn't matter. You can choose those. Another thing. So now that's set to damage. Let's go here to here. Here to here's notes. I can make it so that it is pouring into there. Let's go ahead and choose a floor. But instead of those, let's go ahead and choose blood. So now we have this pool of blood. And again, you can have the wall, another sector there. So it looks like the wall, the blood's pouring out from under there. Or I believe we should be able to choose this wall. And there we go. Blood waterfall. Let's go ahead and see. So now you have the blood pouring out of there. Although now it seems like it's coming out of the ceiling. So we can still, if we want, create a little sector here. Maybe pull it out a little bit more so you don't see it. And what we're going to do here is choose this sector. Move it up like this. Now it kind of looks like it's pouring out of somewhere. And we want to change these wall textures to be something else. So probably that same. You want something to do the same texture so I can hover my mouse over this and it shows over here that says rock 2. So now I come over here and say rock 2. There it is. And I can select it for those other wall textures. So now we have, you know, the waterfall of blood pouring out of there. Over to here. Nice and pleasant stuff. Anyway, that is making sectors with lava, those animated floor textures and adding damage to them. But now we have this suit here that should protect me from any of that. Anyway, I thank you for watching. And I don't know why blood would hurt you, at least immediately.  Some people make blood hurt you. Some people don't. It all depends on the designer of the level. Anyway, I thank you for watching. Be sure to check out the links in the description of this video to my website and to the full playlist. And I thank you for watching. I hope that you have a great day.


I'm just going to start recording. Okay? I'm not sure what the movie is about. It's about a young girl. She goes on a wonderful Wonderland adventure where she meets a cute boy dragon, a friendly but gruff, at first, Spider-Man. Spider-Man? Yeah, this is like a spider, the guy that works the boiler. The big mustache. Yeah. This is for people who have seen it, so they know. I'm not really sure what the movie is about. I know that I liked it. I liked the movie. I was a little bit frustrated. I was frustrated in the beginning because I felt the parents were incredibly... That was probably the weakest part is just kind of how they set up. They're probably like, okay, we have this amazingly creative and original idea for like a kid's fairy tale thing. How do we just get her into the fairy tale world? The parents almost like by like a trance. They're just way too curious and they're like, oh, let's just go on this detour when really if we should try to figure out how to get to the house we're moving to. And they just, you know, they kind of keep going and then the kid's like, there's something off here but the parents don't pick up on it. That's probably the most kind of you know, forced thing in the movie. Once you get past that then, yeah, I think it's... you just end up really level with characters. I like that one really big spirit. Like almost a big mustache, kind of walrus tusks. Oh yeah. Yeah. Just a lot of great creatures and spirits and there's definitely themes of gluttony and greed in the movie where with the no-face once it starts to just devour the people working there but still offers all the gold and for a while the workers are okay with still feeding the monster because they're like, well, it's just passing out so much gold. Like, you know, this is kind of messed up and this could destroy us in the end but look how rich it could possibly make us, right? So there's things like that. Yeah, it's hard for me to say what the movie was about. I think there were all kinds of... like I think there was for the baby that was the son, the giant baby, the son of the grandmother, Granny that ran the bath house. You know, she is over-protecting him. She's keeping him in this germ-free zone under all the blankets and then eventually, when he gets transformed by the sister of the Granny and then eventually actually first is always just carried around by the fly but then at one point actually doesn't want to get carried and wants to go on its own and then at the end of the movie stands up to the grandmother after he's kind of experienced an adventure, went outside. Oh, it's actually... it's okay. Like, I don't need to be cooped up all the time. I can actually take care of myself and get out there and, you know, get that confidence. Things like that. Her relationship with No Face is... I don't know. I feel like... You're... I'm losing my train of thought now. I feel like the relationship with No Face was interesting. No Face himself was interesting. Looking at how he interacted with everybody else versus how he interacted with Chihiro, he... Obviously, he wanted love. He wanted companionship and he wasn't getting that. So he thought, well, if I give people stuff, then they're going to give me all of that. All of that. And so he thought, in order for me to get affection and love from people, I have to give... I have to give them stuff. Yeah. And so, yeah. And that's how people... Everybody else responded positively to that. It was working with everyone else. But... It also wasn't making No Face happy. It was eating, still eating, but none of this is working. I'm giving these things to people. They're giving me stuff back, but none of it is actually satisfying me. Yeah. So I think that speaks to transactional relationships, right? Where you... You... The relationship is just based on what am I getting from you? Yeah. What am I giving you? So if I give you something, you have to give me something back. Yeah. Which is awful. Yeah. And then... Trauma and numbing yourself. Yeah. So they're actually dealing with it or finding connection. Yeah. Like, let me finish my trade of thought. I'll forget. People who go into transactional relationships because they don't know how else to show love than to give people objects. If people don't receive those objects, then they feel like, well, you know, I'm not good enough. They feel things like that. But then they feel frustrated because then they don't know how else to show love. They don't know how to show love in a healthier way. And so they get frustrated because, well, if I don't give you this thing, then you're not going to then be indebted to me for giving you this thing. I want you to be indebted to me so you can come back and give me the love that I want. You know, that's what I think maybe two... What's his name? Noface. Noface gets back. But once befriends Chahiro as just a genuine friendship, can go back into a peaceful, normal form. Yeah. And... And it's genuine because Chahiro befriends him without asking for any kind of material objects. She accepts him as he is without asking for anything. And when you get that, that is really great when you're someone who's looking for affection. When you get that from someone, you start feeling like, oh, I'm good enough as I am. I don't have to draw people into my life or into having a relationship with me by giving them material stuff. I'm enough on my own. The thing about the grandmother, you know, she gets people to sign a contract where she basically indentured servitude and then she owns their name which is, I think, kind of a symbolism of just like part of the indentured servitude. You start to lose sense of your identity because you are just a cog or you're just part of her property or something and by controlling people by having their names, then once she's able to help her dragon friend, her dragon boy friend Haku find his name and then when she remembers her name then it's them trying to hold on to a piece of their self-worth and identity. Yeah, that's actually so interesting, honestly, because how the world system is like that, right? Isn't it? At the end of the day, you have to pander to a certain dogma in order for you to survive it and that's what people do so then you chip away at yourself little by little you get into this kind of job and you hate certain things about it but you then just forget those, you leave, you check those at the door in order for you to survive the day and you do that every single day you start to forget about yourself and maybe the job is taxing and you're working like 12-hour days and you don't have time for yourself anymore so you're kind of forgetting who you are so that's where maybe taking your name, she takes your name, maybe that's what it is.  Yeah, yeah. I figured we'd get to it. We got it! We just got to talk about it a little bit and it brings our roles. Oh my God, it's much deeper than I thought. I feel like I need to. Good, really? Yeah, but yeah, it's kind of, it's really, yeah. Yeah, I do, I liked Chahiro. I think why she's very important is that she's a reminder of when you were growing up and when you were untouched by the world, right? Which is great, right? But like, for me, the main thing is that because she's a kid and so she hasn't participated in the system as much and so she's not destroyed by it so she still has that sense of self which human beings have and that, you know, she's still much more optimistic about life and she also is still more sensitive to like if there's something wrong, you know how kids are or animals, how they can sense that something is off, kids are like that because they haven't pushed themselves aside, they haven't pushed their instinct aside, they still very much have it. With her, we get to see how children operate in a negative environment versus people who have already integrated or assimilated in that negative environment. The people who have assimilated don't really see the issues and they participate in that negativity and they become part of it even if they think that they aren't, they become part of that. But then if you are someone who hasn't been, who still has your fullness you are and haven't been affected by this environment, you watch people, you can see people like you're definitely an outsider looking in and so you're more aware of the issues in there. And so I feel like with her, that's why she's able to, all of the stuff that's happening, she's much better at saying no to things or navigating that space in a way that's more profitable or lucrative for her and other people around her versus the people that are blinded by the system because they've had their names taken away and so they don't have the capacity anymore to change the system for the better, you know? She's willing to see through the stink creatures, spirits, issues because she still has this, okay well let's try to understand why this, you know, this spirit is acting the way it is. So she's got that innocence and that trust for every single person that she approaches. She's not jaded by these, you know, these learned behaviors and these stereotypes and these past experiences that affect how she reacts to things. The guy in the boiler room when she just falls asleep there because she's actually more comfortable there than where she's designated to sleep and then so that kind of when he sees her asleep there he puts a blanket on her which is a really sweet moment and then kind of breaks him out of his routine and then, yeah, it's just a nice moment for both of them. The relationship between Chihiro and Haku? Yeah. That was a very beautiful relationship. It was. Yeah. That was really beautiful. She feels like she knows Haku but doesn't know from where. Yeah. And so they both remember each other or the other from a time that they couldn't recollect. Yeah. And so then later she remembers and she's like, hey, you know when I was a kid this thing, this happened and it was a river. It was a river. What? And he, she names the full, the name of the river and he remembers that, oh, that was my, that's my name. You know, he remembers his name which is the whole thing and he gets his agency back from Yubaba basically. Yeah. Yeah. That was a really, really nice, a very beautiful relationship. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It was so sweet. And I liked that he was a river. Yeah. And it wasn't anything romantic or anything like that. Yeah. It was just that they had an experience together. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he saved, he saved her. Yeah. And he remembers that. Yeah. Yeah. It was a very nice movie. It was a, it was a very, it was a beautiful movie. Yeah. I feel like that. The music was great. That I really like. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like there's probably much more. I'm going to think about this movie much later. But that's it, right? Yeah. That's it. Completely. That's our take on Spirit Away. I give it like, I mean, it's up there with the best. Oh yeah. So I could give it a 10. I give it a 10 out of 10. Yeah. I definitely do. Yeah. It strikes like the, there's some great voice acting in it. Whether it's like the dancing for all of the frogs were great. All the spirits were cool or everything. And then, you know, the main characters. So yeah, the music was great. The animation was really cool. I definitely, this was a good review for me because when I started the review, I was not here. I was like on the phone. Now, as we talked about it, I'm like, actually. Yeah. Beautiful movie. 10 out of 10. Yeah. All right. Well, what did you guys think of Spirit Away? Let us know. Do you review it? I review it. One of those. God see it. Yeah. It was great. Yeah. Goodbye. Things will be popping up.


Steve Snead here, acting teacher, and I'm located at South Lake High School in Seattle, Washington. Okay, so today I'm going to give you an assignment. If you've watched the other, the previous videos of mine, they've given you some preparation for doing your own piece, whether it's a poem or a monologue or something you've written. And I like this approach because it gives you the opportunity to write about something that's meaningful to you. So here's the assignment. It goes like this. I want you to think of something or a topic or something in your life that is, that you really, really stand for, that you would advocate for in some form. Okay, something that's meaningful that you're passionate about. Or it could be something that you really, really despise. Something that you just don't like, a topic or an issue. Preferably an issue as it gives you something to research and learn about. And I find when it's something that you're passionate about, whether for or against, it's easier for you to come up with something. Okay, so here's the assignment.  And you're passionate either way. Now, the first phase of this project is to gather information. So you want to do your research on the topic if it requires that. You want to just interview people, right? You can interview others who know something about this. So it's just the gathering of information and you collect all that. You can write notes, whatever it takes to gather. Then you start to frame the position you're going to take. You start to frame, right? This is the creative process. You start to frame, who do you want to be telling this story?  Are you someone else? Are you a character of some kind? Develop that. Make those decisions. And this is something that should be fun. So, you know, imagine anything you'd like. Don't hold back. Don't be reserved about your ideas. Then the second phase is to write your first and your second draft, okay? Write a draft of what this is going to be. Like I say, poem, monologue, whatever you call it, okay? But it's a way to advocate. It may be a speech as well. And do two drafts. Do the first one, read through it. But the first one should just be you get those ideas down. The second one is you take time to really construct it well. And have someone else look it over. Have someone else read it. Have someone else take a look at it and then give you feedback. It's always good to get others feedback. In the classroom, we'd call that observation, right? The classroom would hear you read your piece and then they'd give you feedback. That's observation. That's what a director does. A director is observing and then giving feedback. Constructing the piece, constructing the drama, whatever it is. Okay, third phase. Now you want to deliver the piece and record it. And I'm going to imagine that you are high school students. You must have a phone of some kind. Or you know someone who has a phone. Use your phone to record yourself. And you want to do two recordings. Do the first one as a first draft recording. Observe it, look at it. And this is how I want you to grade yourself or critique. Let's not call it grade. You're not going to give yourself a grade, are you? Critique it. So you want to look at voice. Score it anywhere from five being the lowest score to a ten being it was wonderful. Okay, voice. Just voice. Were you loud enough? Were you clear? Did you enunciate your words? Okay, those kinds of things. Then the writing itself. Again, the same score. Anywhere from a five to a ten. With five being the lowest, ten being the highest. The writing. Was it well written? Did it make sense? Was it interesting? Okay. Next, facial expression. Right? What were the facial expressions like? Did they work? Were you convincing? Were they overdone? But you score yourself. Five to ten. And then body language. How did you do your body language? What was your body language like? Did you have what I call aimless wandering? You know, movement that didn't make sense. That didn't fit in with the piece. You know, a lot of times I use my hand, right? I'm emphasizing. I feel like I have to punctuate the word with my hand. So that kind of thing, right? How was your body language? And then believability. Did you believe yourself? That's a critical question in my mind. That's what I like to see. I like to look in the mirror and recite or present or work on my lines. And I get it to the point where I'm almost believable to myself. Because I'm myself. And as I look in the mirror, it's hard to really write it should be. More difficult to convince yourself. I find that out. That when I do it for someone else, oh, that was great. Oh, that was beautiful. Oh, I totally believed you. And I look at it and I go, hmm, I'm not convinced. So look at yourselves and convince yourself. But score yourself there. And then give yourself a rating.  Now, you can also, once you record it, of course, you can share it with other people. And give them the same score sheet, right? Let them score it as well and see what they come up with. And then compare the scores. And I would even do three people. Do three different individuals. Have them all score you and then see what your scoring is. Now, that's on your second draft, right? So just to sum it up real quickly, what you stand for, what you advocate for, what's really important to you, like my example I'll give you, is for me, it's I stand for the truth. I think being honest and truthful is very important, right? It is so important in life in general. And you can't imagine. But I could advocate for why truth is important. Or something you are really against, right? Something you don't stand for and you're against and you think is wrong. Something you're against that, like, I don't know, it might be parking meters. It might be against why they have parking meters and why they have to charge me, right? So be free with your examples of what you're for or what you're against. But just make sure it's something you're committed to. Next, the three phases of development. Research, get your material, the second, first and second draft. Then deliver, record it, two of them, and judge yourself. A score of five to ten on voice, writing, facial expressions, body language, and believability. Okay, Steve Snead, acting instructor at Southlake High School in Seattle, Washington. Thank you so much.


Equals is a game changer because it's about the economy of the future. Equals is about technology, helping our societies adapt to technological change. But Equals is also about making sure women are part of the economy of the future. It's about inclusive growth. And inclusive growth and technology is the economy of the future. This is why Equals is so important, it's about preparing ourselves to make sure our economy in the future is strong, is resilient and benefits us all, leaves no one behind. The International Trade Center as a joint agency of the United Nations and the World Trade Organization is about using trade for the benefit of all, making sure trade leads to inclusive growth. For the International Trade Center, Equals is a no-brainer, is a necessity. It's to make sure that the trade of the future, which is the economy of the future, is inclusive trade. And it's trade where technology is obviously playing a greater part. Equals has to be able to bridge the gender divide, not only on access, but also on access. Not only on entrepreneurship, but also in entrepreneurship. Not only in advocacy, in changing social norms and perceptions, also about changing norms and perceptions. Thus is what Equals can achieve in the future. A future where technology has no gender.
