Allahumma salli wa sallam wa ghari kala Sayyidina Muhammad al-Mara'ali, Sayyidina Muhammad salatan wa salam ad-da'imayni, maturazimayni ila yawm ad-diyin. But after our praise and thanks to Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala we seek His forgiveness, His guidance and His assistance and we take refuge with Him from the evil of our souls and from the consequence of our misdeeds. However, Allah gives guidance to an unkind misdeed and whoever misdeeds an unkind guide.  We ask Allah to grant him peace and extend to him our saiyyid teachings on this blessed day and it says he is asking to grant peace to his family and his companions and everyone who follows his goodness shows his will into the meeting and the reckoning of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. And the previous khutbah I spoke about the hadith of Imam al-Bukhari where in the Prophet As-Salaamu Alayhi wa sallam the score is the same. The heart of the older person remains young with respect to two things. The love of the dunya and the prolongation of hope. I spoke a bit about what the dunya is and what is meant by the love of the dunya in that khutbah. So during this short talk I'd like to speak a bit more about the second aspect of this hadith which is what is called tul al-haman, tul al-haman, the prolongation or elongation of hope. Now the elongation or prolongation of hope fundamentally is a reference to the human being's desire to live for a very long time and that desire which also includes the desire to remain healthy or the assumption that one would remain healthy leads one to procrastinate. Accrastination which pertains specifically to one's worship.  This is for older people.  At least that's what it was. It was a case of knowledge coming up. Is that the attitude that Muslims have is that okay well when you get older you go to perform the hajj. Right now you do what you do. You get serious later in life. But the reality is that as the human being gets older similar to I guess we say a tree. A tree gets older and eventually becomes weaker. It doesn't become stronger. Of course we see life and death even in the course of nature. But as we get older we get weaker. So we say we get older until we get older those things that we like to do but ultimately things happen. If you're healthy then you can become ill. And if you don't become ill then an accident can happen. Unfortunately God forbid. A terrible accident can happen to you. And that's why the Prophet PBUH advised that there are two blessings that people are duped about. We're deceived about. Now many people they keep themselves out of those two blessings. Good health and free time. Health and free time. For all of us again as you, for God's of how old you may be or how young you may be then all of us of course that we are hard to make young with respect to the prolongation of hope. That is to say the hope that we'll live for a very long time. The hope that we'll remain healthy for a long time. So anything that needs to be taken care of now we'll do them later. We'll do them later. And I've talked about as well that with respect to the love of the dunya because of the love of the dunya that and the fact that the human being has been given a certain nature that jealousy is a natural part of our lives and our interactions. Imam al-Mahasi his recommendation for repelling or fighting against jealousy is to shorten or reduce our hope. He said, Reduce your hope or restrict your hope through I mean reduce jealousy by restricting your hope, by reducing the thing that you hope for. In other words, take care of business now. If you don't hope to have what others have as much, of course you're going to hope them but the idea is that it's about preparation. What do you sacrifice as you prepare to get those other things? Do you prefer the dunya of the rakhirah? Imam Ali ibn Abi Tariq, what the Ma'an is going to say and this is also the pahiyah of the Imam of Bukhariq. He says, Imam Ali ibn Abi Tariq, there are two things. The thing that I fear for you the most are two things. Following your passion or your desire and the prolongation of hope. Some talked about love in the world and the prolongation of hope. This is why I fear the most for you as believers. That you follow your hawaa, that you follow your desire, your will. You follow your fancy. Whatever you think is good, you do it. Whatever you feel is good, you do it. And this is condemned, absolutely in the Quran and the clearest of terms over and over and over. Because Allah SWT, what He loves from us brothers and sisters are acts of faith. He loves from us the rejection of khufa. He loves from us obedience. He loves from us the resistance of our passion to not disobey Allah SWT. And He loves from us to practice the sunnah, the mentioned ad-i isra'at-ul-salam, and not to innovate. If the Prophet SAW did something and he did it in a certain way, it is not our place nor our right to alter the sunnah of the mentioned ad-i isra'at-ul-salam. So it says, From ad-i isra'at-ul-salam to your sister ad-i haa. The reason I am fearful of you following your fancy is because it dissuades you from the truth. As they say, love is deafened and it blinds. And Khufa, what do you mean? Well, you said that love is deafened and it blinds. Well, you love something that you, but people addicted to things because they don't want to acknowledge it. They're in denial at first. They know they're being destroyed by their love for something harmful to them, but they aren't in denial for a very long time. That's what it does to you. That it will dissuade you from the truth. As for the prolongation of hope, it makes you forget about the hereafter. It makes you forget the hereafter. And as Abdullahi Al-Nashr says, That the chief of all sins is love of the hereafter or love of this world, love of this leading life. And the only cure for it is to feel compelled towards your Lord. This is Alayna, the thought of just speaking. He said, the hereafter or get the hereafter, it is moving, marching in advance. The hereafter means it's coming. It's coming. We don't know how close that is. That the average life span for people in this country between 75 and 80 years old from then towards the lower number, willing to hire a number. And when you think of our own lives, we look at our ages and we can think about how much time we might have on this planet. The Akhira is advancing forward. It's coming, it's close. And the world is moving and retreating. And the world is moving and retreating. Meaning, look at how old you are, 50, 60, whatever it may be, how much has already gone past. And for each one of those realms there are children. Meaning for the dunya and the akhira. That each realm has its children. So be among the children of the hereafter and do not be among the people of the children of the dunya. Because today there is work and there is no reckoning.  Meaning that He reckons and says He counts your needs, records your needs, but He doesn't punish you right away. For you, Muhammad would be like Wa La Hissab. Wa Ghazal Hissab on Wa La Amal. But tomorrow there is reckoning but there will be no work. You won't have the opportunity to make up to what you lose in this world. Subhan Allah has to be again, He talks about fighting, jealousy, to reducing our sense of hope will be things that we hope for. But He also says, Wa Sa'inaa Al-Aqizan Al-Amini deriving the clean most. And seek assistance in order to reduce the things you hope for by constantly remembering death. By constantly remembering the death. One thing leads to another. And I'll conclude this with one of the prayers that is attributed to the Prophet Muhammad, Subhan Allah wa alayhi wa sallam. There are some hadiths where scholars say it is weak. However, the du'ad, the prayers themselves are, we can embrace them. Because we are careful about weak hadiths and we don't say Rasulullah salli said them. But some wise person did say this prayer. And then according to this hadith, it says, the Prophet Muhammad salli sallam said, Allahumma inna ar-uza biqa man dunya timna ukhaid al-akhira O Allah, I take refuge with you that prevents the goodness of the hereafter. wa ar-uza biqa man hayatin timna ukhaid al-amad and I take refuge with you from a life that prevents the goodness of death wa ar-uza biqa man amad in yamna ukhaid al-amad and I take refuge with you from a hope that prevents the goodness of work. Because that's what happens when we are constantly delaying and procrastinating. I'll do it tomorrow. I'll straighten up later. I'll become a wise person in the future then fundamentally we are delaying the good that will be recorded on my behalf. And it is the only type of funds that we will have with us to take with us as we need this world. So we ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala that he place our hearts and make our hearts attached to those things that are most useful and beneficial and most important to us in this life and the hereafter insha Allah I will say this to you and I ask Allah to show you and to ask the Muslims and the Muslims. That's all.


It's actually really close to my house, so we took the trucks out for a little car show. A bunch of people still showing up, but it's starting to get filled up, that's for sure. We're over here at the baseball stadium in the parking lot. It's getting loud, getting crazy, that's for sure. All right, there we go. We got Project Storm. Got Frostbite over here. Project Clifford over here. Sun drove Clifford down. She still needs some work. We got to get the body right. We got to get the body right, but she's getting there. She's driving it around, trying to do a quick run down. It's that spray paint. Seems like it's about the same amount of people that came the last time I was here. I just, I like this one more than I do on caffeine, honestly, because you can do whatever you want to do. You can cook out and grill. Caffeine octane is more freaking exotic. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of cool cars there, though.  This is for everybody. Yeah, yeah. I mean, caffeine octane is not for everybody.  I forgot they started doing something called car limbo. Yeah, car limbo, where they push cars under a brick and stick. Whoever can get the stick alone. Go back here in the back, because I didn't really see anything. Saying the next time we go to the shot, he'd like to go and take pictures. He's on a date. That looks sketch. Y'all know about that. Imagine getting hell now.  I hope not, but Jesus out of it. No, there was no snooper snake in that one. Sure brought your bike, Ryan. All right, Mopar fam. I took you for a quick walk down. Me and old Clifford Bowell here. Took you for a rock walk around all team bash. And there's some pretty cool cars here. Not a whole lot of Mopars. Not a whole lot of Mopars, so I'm kind of disappointed in that, but Hey, that's it. Yeah, we done. We done. Mopar pack over here. But uh, but yeah guys, it's fun getting frostbite out. It's been a long time since I've been to a car show. So we're going to try to get frostbite out a little bit more often this year. So as always, stay safe out there. Don't forget, hit that subscribe button. We'll see you guys on the next one.


That sets us up. We're ready to tip it. Mamu against Theo John. It is controlled by Marquette. And the way we go from Fiser Forum. Joey Hauser on the miss. Now Miles Powell in transition. Turns Hauser blocked by Sam Hauser. Sam Hauser protecting the rim. Pretty athletic play here to block it. Now Powell goes to work. That's a great matchup today. Look at that finish by Miles Powell falling down. Against Creighton on Wednesday. It was a virtuoso performance. Here's Mamu again. His second three is up and the lefty buries another one. They're the Prodential Center so they're used to bigger venues. There's a block by Ed Morrow. It's now two blocks at the rim that Marquette has had to erase layups. Got Marquette on top after shooting three. And there's Sam Hauser defensively. It's recovered by Rowan and the finish by Enzi. Here on FS1. Providence in Georgetown. Double overtime. Georgetown with the heave by Mack McClung at the end of regulation. They win it in two OTs. And now Howard gets loose again. Only down eight. That is a turnover. Another one. Kale goes in and scores the layup. Now Howard will get it organized. Approaching the three-minute mark of this first half. Marcus Howard with 15 points. Gives it to Theo John. Two-handed jam for the big man. Oh, and he's sprained it to his teammates on the rolls. It's tough. Enzi again. Enzi has a nice little spark here in this window. Howard, got it. I'm sure both coaches are going to have a discussion on turnovers as Powell for three knocks it home. And that'll take us to the end of the first half. I'm fortunate if you're Steve Ojahowski for Howard to not take up a foul. Mamu. Barry's another three. He's got a nice game behind the arc. Three for three. Shot clock down to four. Turnover Howard. Breakaway McKnight. And he will finish with Sam Hauser covering. Talented player. Six-ten sophomore. And it's blocked by Mamu again. He got a piece helping out. Howard gets right by Mamu and will score at the rim. It was wide open spaces. Three-threes for Howard. Powell on the take. Powell off the window scores. Take another look at it. Long arms from Theo John. Timing it up perfectly. Beautiful play from Theo John. Since the 2016 season, here's Powell for three. Yes, sir! Miles Powell with a money three. Plenty of time on the shot clock. Sam Hauser will get it organized with Howard now. Goes to nine. Here's Howard looking for room. And it's blocked. In-Z got a piece of that one. Sakara Hanum. Looking for room to work. Nothing there on the cut. Joey Hauser scores! Double overtime. Earlier today, Providence and Georgetown. Now a good one here and want to finish by Quincy McKnight. And Marquette is going to win this one at home and remain undefeated at Fiserv Forum. It's all over. Marquette keeps it rolling. Fourteen and three. Three and one in conference. Twelve and zero at home.

A very big thank you to these wonderful people here for getting in on the action. I appreciate it. Thanks for hanging with me on a Saturday night, or Saturday for some of you, still Friday in LA. But thanks everyone. If you see a little rooftop next to your name, that means you won those spots in that team random, and that video is up already. Remember I marked these number 4 right here, so you know that they're all from the same case. Thank you everyone, and good luck. Is there anyone actually here watching this break live? Can I just sneak away and do it tomorrow? Maybe no one's actually watching, I can just be like, I'll just do it tomorrow. We'll give it a box or two. There's Danny Avicia, Devin Vassel. So all cards should be. You see all the different rookie levels are right here. Oh, there's people here. I can't sneak away. No, but Jonathan, you're not even in the break. Kent is not even in the break. Arnaldi's in the break. Jeff is in the break. Oh boy. I guess I can't sneak away. Bam out of bio. There's LeBron James. Rudy Gobert. Don's here too. All right, yeah. I'm just going to try to sneak out. Devin Vassel, Art Nouveau, Relic for the Spurs. No, I started the video, I wouldn't have been able to leave. Don with the Spurs, Vito, this was a pick your team break. So all the teams were different prices, depending on the quantity and quality of the hits they may have. There's Sweet Lou Williams, Lemon Pepper Lou, 35 out of 99. I don't blame him. Lemon Pepper Wings are pretty good. That's still Clippers edition for Ruben Lomas. And there's Kyrie Irving, box number one, done. All right, next one. We've got Works in Progress, Pokusevski, Damian Lillard. Does he really want out? There he is. I don't think so, but I guess that rumor is growing. There's Lamello Ball, Rookies 1, Charlotte. That's going to be for Allen, who won the Hornets in that team random. See, some of these cards, it's hard to tell that they're numbered. I guess you can tell by that foil right there. That's Porzingis to 99. I try. I try it, Jonathan's. All right, Jamal Murray reveals an Emanuel Quickly Rookie expression relic for Dawn and the Knicks. And the autograph behind Jamal Murray is Alex English. Love that old Nuggets logo. That's going to go to Seth and Denver, 45 out of 99. See if I miss any other numbered cards here. I did. That Rudy Gobero is numbered to 149. Ryan Redmond and the Jazz with the red foil right there. All right, next. And a redemption on the bottom. Any guesses on that redemption? There's Isaac Acoro, Adebayo, Okongu, and Peyton Pritchard. Got John Morant, Nikola Vusevich, and we got SGA to 149. The relic is Marcus All, Art Nouveau. For my Lakers, going to Matt Lieber. And the redemption behind Porzingis, Jeffrey guessing Luca, Hollywood guessing Trey Young. It's going to be Lamello Ball. Wow. Fresh paint autograph, Lamello Ball, going to Allen and the Hornets. He won that team by joining that team random. So the random team break baked inside this pick your team break, delicious on your cards Lamello. I'm sure he has time to summer now. All right, another redemption. Any more guesses on that? We got DeMonte Sabonis, Carl Anthony Towns, and Kyrie Irving Maestro to 149 for the Nets. Michael Peake. We got Anthony Edwards, Rookie Expression Relic. Jonathan, you have the bulls.  So you can always search the break, and your invoice should come up in your email. You'll be able to find it right away. All right, the redemption is BAM, Nico Manion, Fresh Paint Ruby Parallel. That's for Don and the Golden State Warriors. All right, next one. And also, Hollywood, there's also a DVR function on here, so you can rewind back to when I showed that list. So you can double check that as well. And if you missed a hit or something like that, you can always rewind, but always remember to come back live, otherwise you'll be lagging behind. But you can always drag that button left, you can rewind back to when I showed that list. That's another pro tip. There's a Luka Donchich, and there's a Derrick Rose to 149. No. I mean, we already showed it, so no guess the redemption. But stay tuned for every minute of every break, Oliver. You never know when guess the redemption will be back. The redemption progressive, win break credit from Jaspies. Keep an eye out for that. There's Danny Avija, Art Nouveau, 21 out of 25. Who knows? Maybe I'll bury break credit codes inside the break schedule, too, so everyone will read that. You never know. We got Holding Court Autograph, Greg Ocertat, Ryan Redman with the Jazz. I'll put the break credit codes right where the filler information is, just so people will always read that looking for the break credit codes. The top loader doesn't there. Oh boy, Oliver just got back from some exciting Ten and Under softball. The progressive is at $0, Rex. And there's Zion Williamson. All right. That's one. Maybe we'll do a redemption progressive for Pigger Team 5, which is a fresh case and only for the people who are in the break. There's a Tyrese Halliburton, still a level, I haven't seen, I saw Jason pull a level four rookie. I haven't seen any level four rookies. I know they're harder to hit, but still. And there's out of 49, Kemba Walker. I guess Boston, looking for a new head coach and trying to reconfigure that team just like my Lakers. We'll see. They'll retool. RJ Hampton, rookie expression relic for the nuggets for Denver. That's going to be for Seth and register the side, of course, hopefully if they're purchased, if they've purchased spots, they're already registered the same. And there's Brian Scalabrini, 19 out of 35 holding court signatures for the Celtics, Oliver Smith and the final two boxes coming up. Terry Stott's is available. I know. I was surprised by that news. I was watching Sports Center and then Woz was talking about candidates for the Blazers job and I was like, what? And I looked it up in about an hour and a half ago. It was reported that Terry Stott's, Blazers and Terry Stott's mutually agreed to part ways, which is a nicer way of being fired, I guess. That's rookies two, Peyton Pritchard. There's Tyrese Maxey, rookies one. Chris Middleton, who is getting the ire of, well, I guess Vanessa Bryant's more mad at Nike than she is Chris Middleton, but I don't know. There's Aaron Gordon and Kyrie to 149. And we've got rookie expression, Theo Malada. I know, Rex. We've got to get out of here. OKC, Thunder Fuad, Ben Simmons reveals a PJ Washington for the Hornets. These are cool looking cards. Washstrokes, autograph, another Hornets auto for Alan Matsui. Nice. And the last box is nice James Weissman right here, rookies two. Works in progress to 149. And rookie expression, Sadiq Bay for the Pistons, that's going to go to Jake. And the final autograph is going to be holding court Isaac Bunga for the Washington Wizards. Pretty solid break in the books, ladies and gentlemen. The next picker team, picker team five is from a fresh case. These teams are actually really at good price points, and it's a good opportunity to chase the big rookie names for a pretty solid price. And I like this court king's design too. Thanks everybody. I'm Joe for jazby'scasebreaks.com. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye bye.


In this video, we're gonna use the integral test to define the convergence of a series. So consider the series here, n equals one to infinity of one over n squared plus one. Is this thing convergent or not? So now to use the integral test, we have to compare the sequence in play with, which is a discrete function there with the continuous expansion of it. So notice here that we wanna consider the function f of x equals one over x squared plus one, like so. And then the sequence in play, a sub n, this is equal to one over n squared plus one. And just as a distinction here, when we talk about the sequence, we'll often use subscripts to represent the variable and then the number in play here is gonna be an n for the natural number n, as opposed to the continuous function f of x for which we'll use an x to denote the variable here. Now these two things are related to each other. And we wanna use the integral test because this f of x is the expansion of the sequence a sub n, which is the same sequence that we picked up right here. Now in order to use the integral test, we need three things. First, we need to check is the sequence or is the function positive, is f a positive function? That is, if we choose any number, will f of x be greater than zero? Now let's start off with the number x, right? Well, if we square it, square any real number, that's gonna be greater than or equal to zero. If you add one to it, like here x squared plus one, that's always gonna be greater than zero, right? And then when you take the reciprocal of a positive number, that still is gonna be positive. So one over x squared plus one will be greater than zero. And this is true for any choice of x here. So the answer is yes, f of x is always positive. Absolutely. It's gonna be positive for all real numbers, negative infinity to infinity. Now for the case of the integral test, we only need this to be true for one to infinity. So in particular, since it's positive everywhere, it's gonna be positive on the interval one to infinity. That's the first one, great. Let's check for continuous. This is often an easy one to check, but is it continuous, we need it? Well, take our function here, one over x squared plus one. We're gonna see that this thing is continuous because if you take the number x and you square it, square it as a continuous function, we add one to it, adding as a continuous function. And if you divide by one, that is to take one divided by x squared plus one, division is a continuous operation. The only issue we have to worry about is does the denominator ever go to zero? Now, as we observed before, x squared plus one is always greater than zero. So the denominator here can never equal zero. So there's no discontinuities, no vertical asymptotes, no removal discontinuities. We're continuous, right? So because the x squared plus one is positive, that we don't have to worry about discontinuities. That's the only thing we have to worry about there. So then that brings us to the last topic here about is it decreasing? That's the last assumption one needs for the integral test. Now to see that it's decreasing, what I want you to do is compare the following. On the interval one to infinity, take the expression x squared. And well, maybe not x squared, we should be talking about the sequence right here. Take n squared instead, sorry about that. So if n squared, it's less than or equal to n plus one squared. I'm just saying here that the squaring function is an increasing function. Now when you take the reciprocals of this, one over n squared will actually be greater than one over n plus one squared. If numbers are getting bigger, the reciprocals are gonna get smaller. And so this tells us that our function is decreasing. Our function is decreasing. Now if we wanted, so this is actually showing that the sequence is decreasing, which is all that we really need here. But the function, we also get that it's decreasing. You could use the derivative to help you out here if there's any concern whatsoever. But since our function is positive, continuous, and decreasing, what we can do is we can see that our series will be convergent if and only if the integral is convergent. So we wanna look at the improper integral one to infinity of the function one over x squared plus one dx. And now with this integral, we can use the fundamental thing with calculus. For one over x squared plus one, we might think of doing a trig substitution, which would actually be right. We could take x to be tangent theta, but this actually is a very common form. One over x squared plus one is the derivative of arc tangent. So if we did that trig substitution in the end, we'd end up with arc tangent of x there. So I'm kinda skipping the steps there as we go from one to infinity. And so plugging these things in here, we take arc tangent of infinity minus arc tangent of one. We see right here. Now, when I say arc tangent of infinity, I don't actually mean we plugged infinity into arc tangent because infinity's not a number, so we can't actually evaluate it there. This, of course, is just an abbreviation for the limit. The limit has x approaches infinity. What happens to arc tangent of x? Now, because arc tangent has a horizontal asymptote, this asymptote actually is pi halves. And arc tangent of one, that's just pi force. This thing would combine just to give us pi force. This tells us that the integral, this improper integral actually adds up to be pi force. It's less than infinity. This is evidence that the integral is convergent. And we're talking about the improper integral is convergent. Therefore, the integral test comes into play right here that the convergence of the integral actually implies, where was it? There you are. The series likewise is going to be convergent. And why is that? Because when we talk about the convergence and divergence of series, it's not just good enough to say convergent, divergent. You need to provide the evidence on why it's convergent. And the evidence comes from the integral test. Because the improper integral was convergent, the associated series must likewise be convergent. Because if the integral was divergent, then the series would be divergent. If the integral is convergent, then the series has to be convergent as well.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com coming at you with 2017-18 UPDEC The Cup Hockey. One box random number block break number 17 from jaspyscasebrakes.com works just like our usual number blocks right here, right? Anything that's not numbered will be randomized as one lot to one person in the break. Big thanks to all of these folks for getting into it. There are the numbers right there and let's roll it. It's randomized five to five, ten times. Hard ten for each list, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and tenth and final time. We've got Travis down to William and after ten times with the numbers, let's see what happens here, two, nine, and tenth and final time. After ten, we've got one down to nine. There we go. All right. So Travis with one, Jack with two, William with eight, Todd with five, Jack with three, William with zero. So you'll get any and all redemptions, William, in this one box break they're about to do, including one of one redemptions. Travis, you'll still get live one of ones. Todd with four, Brian with seven, and William with six and nine. Nice. Let's order these numerically. I doubt there's going to be any trades. So, but there's a little window while we see which box we're going to do. I'm going to use that die right there. We'll go one, two, three for the top box, four, five, six for the bottom box. Remember I marked those R and B for random number blocks and we know this from the same case. Six, one, two, three, four, five, six. We'll save this for next time and that'll be break number 18 right there. Any trades? No? No trades? No trades? Maybe? No. No trades. Trade window closed. Yeah, just a few BD, like John was saying. There's the final printout right there. Good luck everybody. Let's see what happens here. Good luck everybody. I'm going to use this blank card here to hide some of the hits. We've got Dylan Larkin, 170 out of 249, so that goes to zero. William with that one. So that goes to William in zero. We've got Samuel Gerard, two-color patch and autograph, 37 out of 249, see the seven right up there. That goes to Brian S. and the number seven. And we've got a one out of eight, Owen Nolan, three-color patch and autograph. Travis Melberg and number one, there you go Travis. I don't follow hockey so you're going to have to let me know if these are good players or not. No one's really reacting so I guess maybe it's not. What about Nikita Scherbeck, autograph rookie masterpieces, printing plate, one of one for Travis Melberg. Are you not entertained? I feel like I've heard of him. Travis, all aboard, the Big Head Express, whoo-hoo. A couple more to go. We've got Samuel Moran, three-color patch and Otto, 71 out of 249, another one for Travis and the number one. And the last one here is going to be Doug Gilmore, David's brother, 95 out of 249, Todd with the number five. All right. And there you have it ladies and gentlemen, that was a quick little one-box break, random number block number 17 of 2017-18, Upper Deck the Cup Hockey. Thanks for watching everybody. I'm Joe for jaskyscasebrake.com. I'll see you next time for the next break, bye-bye.

What's going on, Kevin? Thanks for doing this. Why did the Titans make sense for you as your next stop through your career? I know you have some familiarity with Vrable, but from an opportunity perspective, what made sense about it? Like you said, I played with Vrable when I was in Houston. He was a defensive coordinator. Anthony Midgett was my defensive backscout when I was in Houston. So there is also familiarity there with the scheme, the staff. It's a great city, very familiar with the division as well, playing in Houston for four years. Kayla? Hey, Kevin, welcome to Nashville. Just in terms of the secondary and some of the guys you're going to be playing with, I mean, what do you know about a guy like Janoris Jenkins who's obviously been in the league a long time and then one of the younger guys in Christian Fulton that's in his second year? Janoris Jenkins is definitely a guy that I've been watching a lot throughout my career, even going back all the way back to his Florida days. So he's a very accomplished cornerback in this league. Some of whom I'm definitely looking forward to getting to work with. As far as Christian Fulton, I know he had a very good career in college. And I'm definitely looking forward to working with him as well and getting to know the both of those guys. David Boclair. Kevin, this will be four teams for you in four years. What's sort of the key to fitting in quickly and being part of a secondary unit and not just a player on defense? Just coming out there and playing ball, playing ball to my best ability, making plays, being consistent, staying durable, staying healthy, and just being an impact player on the team for the team. John Glennon. Kevin, look like in Cleveland last year, you did more slot and did more blitzing as well. Did you enjoy those roles? And do you expect that same kind of role with the Titans? I haven't talked to the Titans really about, I'm not sure, where I'm going to play as far as inside-outside. Cleveland, they had me playing. In the inside, I lacerated my liver. Training can't miss pretty much all of training can. We didn't have OTAs because of COVID. So I was playing in the slot. I can play outside or inside. So it just depends on where they have me playing at. How did you enjoy the slot? And also, was it a little bit more blitzing last year, too, than you've done in the past? Yeah, because I was playing in the slot, I was blitzing a little bit more than usual if I'm playing outside. But yeah, something that I enjoyed is something that I can do, like I said, I can play inside or outside. Jim Wyatt. And Kevin, aside from your, I guess, versatility, what do you feel like maybe your strengths are as a player? What do you think you're best known for, as far as tenacity, instincts, coverage ability? Where are you at your best? I just think I'm all around corner. You know, I think I can cover. You know, I think I can cover. I can play inside. I can play outside. You know, man-to-man coverage, zone coverage. I like to play physical.  That's my style. And I know that you, I think I read your high school buddies with Michael Campanero. He was here for a short time. Did you, by chance, bounce anything off of him or did he reach out to you since you agreed here? You know, he was only in Nashville for a short amount of time. So I didn't really ask him so many questions about, you know, just like the seasons and, you know, all those upcoming things. So, but I'm definitely looking forward to the opportunity. Like I said, I'm very familiar with Coach Rable, you know, Coach Mids, the scheme. I've been in, I played in this division for four years when I was in Houston. So it's going to be, you know, something that I think I'm going to feel more comfortable with. Paul? Hey, Kevin, I feel like you played against the Titans the last couple of times you've gone against this team. I thought I played well, I thought, you know, last year when I played against the Titans is one of my better games. I played outside in that game, you know, made a couple of plays on the ball, had a couple of PBU's. You know, we won the game, even though I'm going to be on the Titans this year. But it was, it was a good game against the Titans. And then I played against the Titans, like you said, in my, in a lot over my career, you know, playing in Houston. So I'm looking forward to being a part of the team this time. Thanks. David Bowclair. Kevin, I got to ask, how painful is a lacerated liver and how scary is it to hear that you have that sort of injury? Yeah, you know, it was painful. You know, at first, you know, when it happened, I just thought I got the wind knocked out of me pretty bad. But that feeling stayed with me longer than the typical case where you get the wind knocked out of you. So, you know, following that, I decided, you know, yeah, let's, you know, go check it out, see what's going on with it. And I ended up lacerating my liver.  But, you know, everything worked out. I didn't have to get surgery. I did have to miss, you know, eight weeks and then just hop into the season with having to sit out for eight, nine weeks. But, you know, everything works out how it works out. And I was able to, you know, finish the rest of the season with the Bronx. Jim Wyatt. Kevin, you mentioned your, mentioned Jack Rabbit. How much have you paid attention to what else the Titans have done in free agency and how much you're looking forward to playing with, I guess you got it. Did they go all through? You're probably familiar with them, the division and the degree. Yeah, you know, I don't know too, too much. I actually got off of all my social media pretty about a month ago. So I actually haven't been able, I haven't been seeing the news, just what's been going on. I'm familiar with, you know, some of the signings, but I'm very familiar with Jack Rabbit, his game, you know, his success that he's had throughout his football career. I'm familiar with the Buddy Prix, you know, playing against him last season and knowing what he's done in his career throughout the Steelers. So, you know, I'm definitely, you know, I'm living in a moment and I'm excited to get to work and, you know, meet these guys, you know, meet my teammates and I'm looking to help the team the best way I can. John Glennon. Kevin, I wonder if you could talk a little bit about your career overall, you know, I'm sure a lot of expectations coming in as a first round pick, you know, what have your experiences been like in Houston and kind of what lessons have you learned along the way?  Thanks. Paul. You mentioned getting off social media for the last month, wondering what inspired that and did it have the desired effect and will you be back? Yeah, what inspired me getting off is just, you know, this is a whole new era, you know, that we're living in in the social media era and I'm just looking to cleanse my mind. You know, I want to be living more in the moment of, you know, what I'm going through in my everyday life, you know, being focused on myself and what's important to me. I don't necessarily have a return date. I guess you could say I'm getting back on social media, but you know, like I said, I'm just looking forward to, you know, living in the moment, the best way I can and looking to be the best man in person, I can be every day of life. Has it helped? Has it worked? Yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely I'd say so. Yep. Jim Wyatt. Kevin, you've done it several times in your career, but what's it like going from one team to the next? This as far as establishing yourself and is there an adjustment period as you get to know a new team, a new city, new coaches and what's the best way to establish yourself you feel like when you're laying somewhere else? Just going out there and just earning respect from the players, your coaches and just coming out there and playing ball because that's what we're here to do. So just coming out here and playing my best ball, earning respect from my teammates, my coaches, like I said, everybody within the organization. I'm gonna ask you about another blast from your past. You played college ball with Matt James, didn't you? Did you keep up with him and how'd you think you did on the basketball? Yeah, I did. I actually have a pretty good relationship with Matt James. I watched the first couple episodes and watched it as much as I can, but I haven't been keeping up with it to what's been going on lately, but I know he's a great guy and I'm sure he's doing a very good job on the show and getting what he wants out of it for sure. And what do you do now? Is still some uncertainty about what the offseason is gonna look like, but what do you train? What do you do to prime yourself for the season? I work out, I'm in Scottsdale, Arizona. I work out at performance enhancement professionals working on my body, getting my body right, getting stronger, working on my coverage skills and studying film. So that's kind of what my offseason kind of is shaping up and then in my free time, I like to play golf.  What's your handicap? I just started playing. I just started playing. This will be my third year, you know, pretty much playing, but I haven't even, you know, officially put my numbers in to find my exact handicap, but I'm shooting about in like the mid-90s, mid, middle of 90s. How about the back nine? The back nine. I'm kidding with you, yeah. Okay, okay. I appreciate it, man. Yeah, no problem. Kayla? Yeah, just a quick follow-up on the golf. It's always interesting how a lot of athletes take that up as a side hobby. For you, is it just, you know, trying to overcome a challenge out on the links because it's such a difficult sport in terms of concentration as well. Yeah, it's definitely, it's just a great hobby. I mean, golf is amazing.  You know, it's great to be out on nice courses, you know, seeing the scenery. You know, I feel like it's, you know, great for your mind, body and spirit. And I just love the way when you hit that ball, flush how it feels in my hands, I feel like I'm addicted to that feeling. So, you know, I go out there every day thinking I'm Tiger Woods, you know, never know how the day's gonna go, but I look forward to playing every time I play.

Coming up in this episode… We'll look at some historic serial murderers and the strange and unusual way they killed their victims. When it comes to planning the burial of someone, it's always best to keep in mind that whomever is watching how you treat the deceased might be in charge of deciding what happens to you when you are deceased. Sadly, one undertaker, Millard F. Rogers, apparently forgot about the Golden Rule and committed gruesome acts against families. Residents in the town of Blakeney are reporting something horrifying prowling around the neighborhood in backyards, something they describe as a devil dog, a hellhound, a black shuck. And we've all been guilty of wishing we had more money coming in.  Others look at what they have to sell online or look at what skills they have to offer to the public that they could charge money for. Or you can go the route of Georgia Tan. Her entrepreneurial spirit brought her millions of dollars. And it was a simple idea. Steal other people's children and then sell them.  Murder is always horrendous. But when it's committed in a unique, deviant way, there's something even more sinister to the crime.  Charles Albright is known as the Texas Eyeball Killer and the Dallas Ripper, for good reason. In 1990 and 1991, Albright terrorized the Dallas community by going after what he felt were easy targets, female sex workers. His technique was to pick up women, shoot them and then dump their half-naked bodies, but not before he removed the eyes from his victims and kept them as souvenirs. Some could say it began at the age of 11 when Albright started a taxidermy class at the behest of his overprotective adoptive mother, Del Albright. Young Albright took to it immediately, going so far as to remove the eyes from birds, leaving two buttons sewn on where the eyes used to be. Throughout his life he was obsessed with women's eyes, including painting them and cutting them out of photographs. In December 1991, Albright was charged with the murder of Shirley Williams, only one of three suspected victims, due to her hairs turning up inside his vacuum. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Before anyone knew who he was, Albert DeSalvo was dubbed the Boston Strangler back in the 1960s when he went on a killing spree from 1962 to 1964. He prayed on the weak and lonely, sneaking into women's houses, many of them older women, savagely raping and then strangling them to death. His typical method was to strangle the victims with their own underwear or stockings. Once he was finished choking them, he would then tie the underwear into a bow around the woman's neck. He then ransacked her home and took some of the victims' belongings for a keepsake. DeSalvo ended up in jail, but not for murder. While he was a convicted rapist, he was never found guilty of killing, even after he confessed to strangling 13 women. In 1973, DeSalvo was stabbed to death in prison. In 2001, his remains were exhumed in an attempt to match his DNA with a DNA sample from the home of his last and final victim, Mary Sullivan. Sadly, results were inconclusive. However, in 2013, police took a DNA sample from a water bottle DeSalvo's nephew drank from and determined with 99.9% certainty that Albert DeSalvo raped and murdered Ms. Sullivan. Police then concluded that he was likely responsible for all of the murders attributed to the Boston Strangler. Jeffrey Dahmer, dubbed the Milwaukee Cannibal, kept the community on high alert from 1978 to 1991 with his serial killings. He preyed on teenage boys and men, subjecting them to the extremes of torture.  Dahmer was also reported to have sex with the corpses that he left behind.  He'd capture his victims and then drill a hole in their heads or inject hydrochloric acid or boiling water as a crude form of brain surgery, thinking that he'd be able to take over their minds. Dahmer was arrested in July 1991, at which time authorities discovered severed heads and male organs inside his apartment. He was convicted and given life in prison, but he was killed by another inmate, Charles Sarver, in 1994. Between 1974 and 1978, Ted Bundy committed unspeakable acts of violence within several different states. He was charming and attractive, making it relatively easy to lure in women and girls, some as young as 15. Bundy dismembered some of his victims after he brutally killed them and removed the heads to keep as trophies, as he once told a detective he did with victim Georgian Hawkins. He was also known to have sex with the corpses and was thought to be sexually attracted only to unconscious women. Bundy reportedly killed 30 people during his crime spree in the 70s. He'd been convicted in 1980 and sentenced to death in Florida. He died by the electric chair in 1989. In Wisconsin, during the 1950s, Ed Gein killed women and kept part of them to create things in his home, but he began his intrigue with the dead in cemeteries.  He used the decomposing skin to make rotten flesh upholstery for his furniture. He practiced necrophilia and did taxidermy on human bodies. When his crimes escalated to murder, he kept human organs in his home and made clothing and accessories from body parts. When he was arrested, police found a female victim strung up in his barn with her torso gutted like a hunted animal. Gein was only convicted of two murders, though authorities suspect there were many more and sent to a mental health facility because he was not mentally fit to stay on trial. In 1984, he died from cancer. Richard Trenton Chase was granted the title of the Vampire of Sacramento. In the 1970s, he went on a murder spree, killing six people in a single month and an entire family a couple of years later. What made his crimes so disturbing was that he not only cut up his victims but he drank their blood. Chase also supposedly ate part of a brain from one of his victims who was pregnant at the time. Growing up, Chase always displayed abnormal personality traits that eventually led him to frequent mental hospitals. His love of blood became evident in his early 20s when he killed animals and ate them raw or blended up. In 1979, Chase was convicted and sentenced to death row. However, he killed himself by overdosing the following year in his cell. Andrei Chikatilo was known as the butcher of Rostov for his love of dismembering his victims. The Ukrainian-born criminal terrorized the Soviet Union between 1978 and 1990, especially at the bus and train stations where Chikatilo met most of his 52 victims. Women and children, both boys and girls, were his targets of choice. When he first started out, he was mainly attracted to his victims' eyes, lacerating the sockets and sometimes removing the eyes completely. As time went on, Chikatilo's desired torture grew. He began to remove other organs, including tongues and reportedly ate the genitals of some of his victims. Chikatilo eventually confessed to his crimes, stating that he killed 56 victims, not just 52. He was convicted in 1992 and executed by gunshot two years later. Alexander Pachushkin alarmed Moscow, Russia when he began killing in 1992. He became known as the chessboard killer because he aimed to kill 64 people to fill all the squares on a chessboard. It was also said that Pachushkin was actively competing with serial killer Andrei Chikatilo, whom I just mentioned, and trying to beat his victim count of 53. Pachushkin usually went after older, homeless men, drinking vodka with them before striking them with a hammer. It was believed he preferred to strike from behind, not only to catch his victims off guard, but to keep himself from getting sprayed with blood. In the end, Pachushkin was caught before he was able to reach his goal of 64 victims. It is known that he killed 48. He was convicted in 2007 and received a life sentence, serving his first 15 years locked in solitary confinement. From 1986 to 1997, Indonesia dealt with a serial killer named Ahmad Siraji, or the Black Magic Killer.  He lured them in with his supposed magic healing powers, offering to help them with their troubles. He buried his victims waist-deep in the ground, supposedly as part of his healing practice, but then used a cable to strangle them to death. Afterward, it was said that he drank their saliva to enhance his magical powers.  Siraji was arrested in 1997 and executed by firing squad in 2008. One of Siraji's three wives was also held accountable. She was originally given the death penalty, but later it was changed to a life sentence. From around 1971 until 1983, Robert Hansen terrified Alaska as the butcher baker and killed anywhere from 17 to 30 women, many of them sex workers. In addition to kidnapping and raping his victims, he took them to remote places like the Nick River to torture them and then let them go. He would then hunt the fleeing women like wild animals, striking at them with a knife or gunning them down with a rifle. Hansen was convicted for only four murders in 1983 and received a sentence of 461 years in prison without parole. In 2014, he died in a nearby hospital. A once successful pig farmer, Robert Pickton became known as more than a multi-million-dollar rancher in Vancouver, Canada. His rampage began in 2002 as he began going after young, vulnerable women, viciously killing and disfiguring them. Targeting local sex workers, he kidnapped and then murdered them at his farm. After he killed them, he fed their corpses to his pigs to hide any evidence. There were also claims that Pickton sold human remains mixed with his pork to customers without them knowing. While Pickton was charged for 20 murders, he was only convicted of six in the second degree in 2007. He was given life in prison without any possibility of parole for 25 years. In Dana Sue Gray, she was a California nurse and pro-skydiver with an obsession for shopping, which ultimately drove her to murder three and to attempt to murder another. In 1994, she started financing her need for luxury items by robbing and murdering elderly women. Gray strangled her elderly victims with a telephone cord, and she beat and stabbed them to death. After killing them, she ransacked their wallets, taking credit cards and cash to help support her shopping addiction. Her fourth and final victim survived the attack and was able to identify Gray, leading to her arrest and conviction. In 1998, Gray received a life sentence without possibility of parole.

Between 1924 and 1950, a woman named Georgia Tan abducted and separated more than 5,000 children from their parents, many of whom were poor and unwed mothers. Tan looked like a grandmother and few families had any idea that she was actually a Tennessee baby farmer. During her time working at the Tennessee Children's Home Society, she and her network of social worker spotters would search for children to pull into their operation. With the help of political friends, Tan was able to legally separate parents from their children by citing neglect. The most attractive children were sold to wealthy families, including celebrities. Hundreds of unwanted and unadoptable children died under Tan's care, often due to neglect and starvation. It is believed that some of the children's bodies might still be buried on the grounds of the Children's Home where Tan operated. Tan spent more than 25 years kidnapping children and profiting off of the poor. Although she is not the first woman in history to separate children from their families, her story is one of the most bizarre and disturbing out there. Some of the children in Tan's care suffered greatly both before and after they were placed with their adoptive parents. According to Barbara Besant's Raymond in her book The Baby Thief, the untold story of Georgia Tan, the baby seller who corrupted adoption, Tan allegedly molested some of the girls she abducted and sold teenagers to single men who were possible pedophiles. She ordered older kids to sit on men's laps and say, Daddy. Some children were bought by adults to serve as farm hands or domestic servants and others were neglected by their new families, enduring beatings, starvations and sometimes rape.  He was later abused by his adoptive mother and when he finally found information about his biological mother, he found out she had already died. In the late 1940s, the Tennessee governor tasked attorney Robert L. Taylor with investigating Georgia Tan and judge Camille Kelly, who helped Tan push through suspicious adoptions. What Taylor found was hard to believe. When he visited Tan's orphanage, Taylor noted her babies died like flies. Taylor speculated that Tan made more than a million dollars selling children. It was common for the kids to be transported out of state at night to meet their adoptive parents, with many of the children going to California and New York. Under Georgia Tan's directive, children were abducted from the streets, daycare centers and even churches. She and her operatives took kids born to mothers serving time in prison or placed in mental hospitals. Others were stolen from the hospital shortly after they were born. Doctors, nurses and social workers were in on Tan's operation together, whisking the infants off before anyone noticed. Some doctors would even take bribes to tell new parents that their babies had died at birth. A number of the abducted children did die under Tan's watch and others were adopted out, but their real identities were kept secret and records were falsified. Few would ever reunite with their birth parents. While Georgia Tan was executive director of the Tennessee Children's Home Society, numerous children died under her care. At the time, the infant mortality rate in Memphis was considerably larger than anywhere else in the United States. It is believed that as many as 500 children died due to disease, inadequate care and possibly abuse. Despite this alarming statistic, Tan was praised for the work she performed. The media at the time praised her as the foremost leading light in adoption laws. Eleanor Roosevelt consulted with Tan over child welfare and President Truman asked her to attend his inauguration. Actress Joan Crawford adopted five children during her life. In 1947, she found her twin daughters Kathy and Cynthia through the Tennessee Children's Home Society. Contradictory to Georgia Tan's supposed mission of placing children in better homes, Crawford allegedly abused her kids. Cindy and Kathy, however, vehemently denied that their mother hurt them. Actors June Allison and Dick Powell also adopted a child from the society. So did actress Lana Turner and Mary Pickford, writer Pearl S. Buck and New York Governor Herbert Lehmann. Professional wrestler Rick Flair, who was born in Memphis in 1949, was reportedly one of the many children Tan had snatched from unsuspecting birth parents. Georgia Tan started working for the Tennessee Children's Home Society in 1924. It wasn't long before she realized that babies could mean big business. She developed a marketing strategy and paid for ads and newspapers to entice prospective parents. In one advertisement that she placed around the holidays, cherubic blonde babies looked up beamingly as the words want a real live Christmas present lured in potential buyers. In another ad from 1935, an adorable little boy holds a ball. The caption reads, yours for the asking. George wants to play catch, but he needs a daddy to complete the team. A woman named Alma Simple gave birth to a daughter named Irma in Memphis, Tennessee on August 27, 1945. Her boyfriend Julius John Talos worked in the Air Force and had recently shipped out to Panama. Six weeks after Simple settled into a one-bedroom apartment, she was visited by Georgia Tan, who claimed she was checking in on a neighbor who was purportedly abusing a child. Tan returned the next day and noticed Irma had a cold. She offered to take the baby to the hospital because Simple couldn't afford a doctor. Simple agreed and tried to visit her baby the next day. But when she tried to see her child, she was told Irma belonged to the Children's Home Society. Then a few days later, Tan told her that Irma died of pneumonia. Simple attempted to arrange a funeral, but Tan claimed she had already taken care of it. Simple had no idea that Irma was in fact still alive and adopted out to a couple in Cincinnati. They renamed her Sandra. In December 1989, Simple was watching Unsolved Mysteries when she saw a segment about Tan. The show recommended that viewers who had run-ins with Tan reach out to the group Tennessee's Right to Know who would help families reunite with their children who were kidnapped and adopted out. Simple and Irma slash Sandra were reunited seven months later, 44 years after the baby was stolen from her true mother. Tan placed an estimated 5,000 children into new families over the course of her career. She outright stole some of them, kidnapped others and persuaded some parents to relinquish their kids. During adoption proceedings, Tan worked with a judge, Camille Kelly, whom she paid off, so parents had a difficult time getting their children back. Even though mothers and fathers went to the police, they were often poorly educated and didn't have a lot of money. They struggled to go up against Tan, who was wealthy and had a lot of powerful and intimidating connections in the legal and political systems. Denny Glad, who was president of Right to Know in Tennessee during the 90s, didn't think the majority of adoptive parents had any idea the children they were taking in were obtained illegally. She told the Los Angeles Times, for whatever reason most of them had not been able to qualify to adopt in the state in which they lived. Primarily, age was the reason most were in their 40s and 50s. These parents, who were desperate to expand their families, learned about the availability of Tennessee children through the grapevine. The cost to adopt one of Tan's children in California was approximately $750. Denny Glad, the president of Right to Know in Tennessee in the 90s, suspected that Georgia Tan could have been motivated by more than just financial gain. Most of the victims, her operation kidnapped, were children of poor parents or single mothers. They had fewer advantages in their lives than kids who lived with more affluent families. Glad explained to the Los Angeles Times in 1990, Ms. Tan docked at Affluency meant good and I believe that's just how she justified what she was doing. She was taking children who never would have had a chance in placing them in homes where they were going to get good educations and all the material things. She just thought that she knew better than God. In 1950, the governor of Tennessee held a press conference informing the public of Tan's crimes. Yet most of the children she placed in adoptive homes were never reunited with their biological families. No effort was made to reconnect parents with their children. In 1995, following years of red tape, the victims were finally allowed to get access to their birth certificates and adoption records. Even then, only a small percentage reconnected with their birth mothers. Tan died from uterine cancer at the age of 59 in September of 1950. Just days earlier, the state of Tennessee announced the case against her. The charges did not include kidnapping. Rather, they focused on her stealing money from a state-funded organization. Tan didn't leave any of her fortune to the Tennessee Children's Home Society or charitable organizations. The judge that she worked with, Camille Kelly, resigned after the investigation and passed away in 1954. The Children's Home Society shut down permanently. In 1913, Georgia Tan graduated from Martha Washington College in Virginia with a degree in music. She was a teacher for a brief time before committing to a career in social work. In 1920, she took advantage of her father's role as judge of the Mississippi Second Chancellery District Court and the absence of laws regarding adoption. She kidnapped children from poor women while employed by the Kate McWillie Powers receiving home for children in Jackson, Mississippi. However, her acts were discovered and she was fired for her actions. Tan then moved to Texas before settling in Memphis, Tennessee where she earned the title of Executive Director at the City's Tennessee Children's Home Society. Even though Tan made adoption more socially acceptable, she also used some legal processes that later became controversial. Under her directive, all of the Children's Home Society's adoptions were closed, meaning all information about an adoptee's birth parents was kept private. The records were shrouded in secrecy and children were not permitted to find out who their biological parents were. Many states still follow these rules. Interestingly, in 1999, Tennessee became the first state to change its rules regarding closed adoptions. Despite her criminal methods, Georgia Tan also brought more attention to the potential of adoption for many Americans, making it more popular. Before 1920, little was done for orphans. They were often put in institutions and orphanages and no one cared if they lived or died. According to Barbara Bassant's Raymond, author of The Baby Thief, The Untold Story of Georgia Tan, the baby seller who corrupted adoption, Tan did give some children better homes than the ones they were born into. However, it is unclear to this day how many found better futures and prospects due to her meddling. Coming up on Weird Darkness, residents in the town of Blakeney are reporting something horrifying prowling around the neighborhoods and backyards, something they describe as a devil dog, a hellhound, a black shuck. But first, when it comes to planning the burial of someone, it's always best to keep in mind that whoever is watching how you treat the deceased might be in charge of deciding what happens to you when you become deceased.

Right there on the front page is a story that makes you immediately lose your appetite for dinner. Headline. Horrible practice. Revolving charges against an undertaker. Sensation in a Chicago suburb. The bodies of pauper infants disposed of by being placed in coffins containing corpses which the undertaker has been called upon to attend to. Six pauper children said to have been buried in one grave. Chicago, November 11, Englewood, recently a suburb of Chicago but now embraced in the city, is greatly wrought up over the revolting charges that are being made against undertaker Millard F. Rogers. Citizens whose deceased relatives were buried by the undertaker are apprehensive that the graves of their loved ones have been desecrated, and a number of people have announced their intention of exhuming their friends' remains and satisfying themselves that they are not the victims of the repulsive practice of burying pauper infants in the coffins of deceased adults. Three weeks ago the remains of an Englewood man were exhumed shortly after being buried by undertaker Rogers and the body of a pauper infant was found between the feet of the corpse. Rogers claimed at the time that he was a victim of conspiracy inspired by his assistant C. F. Norman. Tuesday, however, another case came to light. Disturbed by rumors, the friends of the late James P. Tansy who died 18 months ago had him exhumed and the remains of an infant were found under the satin trimmings at the foot of the coffin. The remains of Mr. Tansy were interred to Mount Alavette long before Norman went to work for Rogers and this fact has convinced most of the friends who believed the undertaker's tale that there is more in the charges than they supposed. Among the staunchest friends were the Masons and Odd Fellows, of which organizations Rogers is a member. He proclaimed that they would stand by him, but Tuesday evening it was decided in the Englewood lodges of both orders to make a full investigation and a member of the Masonic fraternity admitted that if the charges were substantiated Rogers would be expelled. The citizens have thoroughly organized for an investigation of the charges and the attorney for the prosecution stated Tuesday evening that he had satisfied himself that Rogers had buried in one grave at Oakwood Cemetery the bodies of six pauper children. As none of the children had relatives able to stand the expense of exhuming the remains and there is nothing in the statutes pronouncing such action criminal, the matter will not be pushed further in this direction, but other cases will be pushed. Some time ago the father of Mr. Sylvester and Englewood Expressman died and the remains after being prepared by Rogers were shipped to Wisconsin for burial. Soon after some alarming rumors were spread but were not credited and until the recent charges were made Mr. Sylvester did not trouble himself about them. Lately he commenced an investigation and the other day induced the man who assisted Rogers at the time of the burial to make a confession. This man whose name is Foskett pretended to know but little but admitted that on the day the remains were prepared for burial a woman connected with Rogers establishment left the undertaker shop with the body of a child in a shawl which she carried. She went to the Sylvester residence and when she left it is alleged she failed to bring the infant's body with her. Mr. Sylvester will at once have his father's remains exhumed by the Wisconsin relatives. Foskett further admitted that while he was with Rogers the body of an infant was placed in the coffin of a woman who lived near the corner of 61st Street and Stewart Avenue. He declares he cannot remember the name. Still another suspicious case now being investigated is that of the infant child of Officer W. H. Harris of the Englewood police station. It was remarked that the casket furnished by Rogers was very large for an infant's remains. The coffin will probably be exhumed. The practice of burying infants and adults coffins could be made very remutorative to one who did Rogers' large business, said an Englewood physician on Wednesday. The interment fee of $6 is charged in each case, and if the undertaker has but one grave dug instead of two he can make a pretty penny in the course of a year, especially when he does business for a couple of foundling's homes and orphan asylums. While sad it was a common practice to bury stillborn children into the gap at the foot of an adult grave. Usually it was not the wishes of the family only coming down to the bottom line the cost of a burial. According to the January 31st, 1892 edition of the Cincinnati Enquirer headline, In Cigar Boxes, Many Little Bodies Find Nameless Graves. We have many people bring us little babes in boxes, it said, ranging in size from a cigar box to a coffin a foot or so long, said a sexton. They hardly ever leave instructions, so we just put the boxes at the bottom of some grave we dig for a grown person. Not surprisingly, the practice of filling in a gap at the foot of an adult grave with a child's coffin was a source of much pain to bereaved, pauper parents who could not afford to have their babies buried in a plot with other children, as would have been their desire for a departed child. She heard the light dragging and tinkling of a chain but could see nothing. Whatever made the noise, however, followed her as she walked. It comes as no surprise to weird Norfolk that Black Shuck has been regularly seen in Blakeney, whose name means Black Island. That the much feared devil dog has been spotted quite so often, however, is quite another matter. And then there is the not inconsiderable consideration that in some tales, Shuck has not one but two heads. A plethora of Blakeney sightings are included on the superb Hidden East Anglia website, which recounts a host of unsettling encounters in or close to the beautiful North Norfolk village. Black Shuck's haunt Norfolk folklore, a dark figure as big as a calf and as noiseless as death stalking through the county since the 16th century. Seen across the county and in Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex, Black Shuck takes many forms, and has many purposes, a true manifestation of everyone's fear, a creature you definitely do not want to see on a dark and stormy night.  Back to Blakeney, where there is the recurring tale of Old Shuck, who haunts Long Lane, which runs south over Ruberry Hill, which is mentioned in W.A. Dutt's The Norfolk and Suffolk Coast, published in 1909. The otherworldly creature has also been spotted in Little Lane in Blakeney as he runs between Wells and Sharingham. Iris Portal, writing to the Eastern Daily Press in 1953, suggested that Shuck regularly ran past her garden wall in Long Lane. A few days after Mrs. Portal's letter, another appeared from Jeffrey Booty of West Ronton. It read, I read with interest your article on Old Shuck and would like the following on record. He travels between Blakeney, Sharingham and Overstrand and is supposed to be searching for his master who was shipwrecked on the coast.  This apparently is a good description because one night, very late to cycling from Sharingham, when, to my surprise, Shuck was running beside me with his chain clinking the ground. He followed me to my gate at West Ronton and passed on down the lane to the beach. This is a true incident and I would like to know the description of Shuck given by other people who have seen him. Shuck has been seen on the B-1388 at Blakeney, where in a letter to Hidden East Anglia's Mike Burgess from J. Wallace in 1983, he was described as having two heads. When he catches a rat, it escapes through his other mouth. And in another letter to Ivan Bunn, editor of the Borderline Science Investigation Group's Lantern, a Mrs. A.P. Markucci recalled hearing something strange on the A-149 between Clay and Blakeney at around midnight in the summer of 1968. She heard the light dragging and tinkling of a chain but could see nothing. Whatever made the noise, however, followed her as she walked. At the crossroads where there was a street light, she paused to see if whatever was behind her would pass by but saw nothing. Then suddenly she was aware that her invisible walking partner had passed and made its way down Black Lane. Knowing the legend of Black Shuck and realizing he'd be making his way to the Marsh Banks, she fled home down the high street and away from the beast that was so frequently believed to foretell disaster. These tales have been told in Blakeney for well over a century. In a feature about the village in the EDP in September 1896, Old Shuck was mentioned. It is perhaps not generally known that Old Shuck has one of his walks in Blakeney little lane where also an even more wonderful spectral appearance has been seen. According to local legend, nothing less than a ghostly wagon with two ghostly horses wandering through the air, the piece reads. There are men now in Blakeney who could not be induced to walk down that haunted lane after dark. Some believe the tales of Black Shuck were spread joyfully by smugglers who realized that the fear of a devil dog who could condemn you to death with a stare would keep people off coastal lanes at night while they got up to no good. On the website which accompanies Richard Platt's book Smuggling in the British Isles, a history, there is the following passage. If convoys of wagons and horses rolling along these roads attracted too much attention, old superstitions provided plenty of ways of discouraging for their interest. Old Shuck, the ghost dog, is a persistent Norfolk legend that, like the cannibals of clovely, the smugglers exploited. Shuck is an enormous black dog with one glowing eye and fiery breath.  Norfolk smugglers took advantage of the gullibility of the villagers and tied a lantern around the neck of a black ram, sending it running off to frighten noisy locals when a run was due. Weird Norfolk suggests that if anyone is gullible in this matter, it would be the smugglers to believe that county folk would be fooled by a sheep in a necklace. Thanks for listening.
