So, let us write. Now, what is the meaning of node? Saying x minus c less than delta implies f of x minus f of c less than epsilon is equivalent to saying this is in terms of absolute value. I want to write it in terms of sets. It says, if I look at the interval, so look at the interval c minus delta to c plus delta. If x satisfies this property, x is in this interval, so x belonging to this implies f of x is where f of c minus epsilon f of c plus epsilon. That is same as saying, if I look at the image of the interval c minus delta to c plus delta, that is a subset of f of c minus epsilon to f of c plus epsilon of this interval. I am just rewriting everything slowly, changing the notations. f of x belongs to that. If x is in this, then f of x belongs, that means the image of this is inside that. So, what we are saying is, given a neighborhood of f of c, given an epsilon neighborhood of f of c, there is a delta neighborhood of the point c, so that the delta neighborhood is mapped into the epsilon neighborhood. Now, it is going in a set theory language. So, the reason is, in this language, it becomes, this definition of continuity becomes, is still in terms of intervals. If I write in terms of neighborhoods, given a neighborhood of the point f of c, there is a neighborhood of the point c, which is mapped into it. Then, everything is in terms of neighborhoods. Then, it becomes extendable. This definition becomes extendable, where there are no sequences, nothing but only neighborhoods. You play with neighborhoods. So, that is the interesting part of it. So, I just wanted to keep you, make you aware that these two are equivalent basis, only matter of saying what language you are choosing. For example, you can write this in terms of open sets. You can write in terms of open sets, because what is this? This is the neighborhood. So, supposing you are given an open set, which includes the point f of c, then there will be neighborhood inside it, and there will be neighborhood coming from inside this. What it says, that if you look at the inverse image of that neighborhood, that is also a neighborhood. That means, inverse images of open sets are open. That is another equivalent way of saying continuity. So, I am not doing much of this, because in your courses, probably you will not read it, but those who are interested and want to read later on, one can say, so it is equivalent. I am just saying for the sake of completion, otherwise not part of this course, as far as exam is concerned. So, do not bother about it. See, f continuous at x is equal to c, if for every neighborhood of f of c, every neighborhood u of f of c, there is a neighborhood v of c, say that f of v is inside u. Then one can write this in terms of open sets and so on. So, let us not bother much about it. So, what we have done is, we have looked at limits of functions, and then we looked at continuity property. Limit is, we treated limit as the value that you expect the function to take at points, considering estimating the value, by looking at the values of the function at nearby points. And when it is equal to actually the value of the function, we called it continuity, and then we looked at various properties of continuous functions. Here is something, which I think this is also good. So, we have two ways of defining continuity at x is equal to c. One was, for every x n converging to c, f of x n converges to f of c. And second, for every epsilon bigger than 0, there is a neighborhood delta bigger than 0, such that x minus c less than, x minus c less than delta implies f of x minus f of c is less than. Now, again I am stressing the point that continuity is the property of the function at a point, is a local property. What I mean by local property? Because, I was saying x n converging to c. So, specializing what is happening or even here, if for the same epsilon, supposing there are two different points of continuity c 1 and c 2, what is this for the point c 1, given epsilon some delta may work, that may may not work for other places. So, neighborhoods may change as the points change. Given neighborhood, existence of neighborhoods may change, at one point a bigger neighborhood may be ok, at other point may need to go for a smaller neighborhood. But there is a notion of continuity, which says irrespective of where you are, it works. So, let us define what is called definition f. Now, this is going to be a property, which is not a local, but more of a global property. f is defined on a domain D to R, we say f is domain D, I should write a interval, is uniformly continuous on D, if it is something like continuity, but it does not depend on the point. If for every epsilon neighborhood there is a delta, such that whenever x 1 and x 2 are any two points less than a distance delta should imply f of x 1 minus f of x 2 is less than epsilon. So, now it says take any two points x 1 and x 2 in the domain, if x 1 is close to x 2 by distance delta, it does not matter where they are, then f of x 1 is close to f of x 2 by the distance epsilon. If supposing I fix x 2, supposing I fix x 2 and is a point of continuity, then given epsilon there is a delta, such that this will happen, if x 2 is a point of continuity. Then for every x 1, the other distance at the most delta from x 2, f of x 1 minus f of x 2 will be less than. But this choice of delta, there existed delta may depend upon what is the point x 2. Supposing I reverse the rules, I say x 1 is a point of continuity, then again given epsilon there will be delta, say that x 1 minus x 2 less than will imply that. But that delta may be different from the earlier one when you are using continuity at the point x 2. So, let us, I will give examples to illustrate that. So, in a sense it looks like that given epsilon there is a delta does not seem to depend on the point where you are looking at continuity. Anywhere if two points are closed then the values are closed. Continuity says if the points are close to that given point then the values are close to the values of that point. So, that specializes on. So, let us look at probably some examples. So, that the simplest example is if you look at f of x equal to x is uniformly continuous. There is nothing because the function is not doing anything. It is not changing at all. If two points are closed f of x is x itself. So, nothing. But let us go a step further. Let us look at f of x is equal to x square. We know it is continuous at every point. f of x is continuous because f of x is continuous product of continuous function is continuous. So, f of x square is continuous if you want to look at it. But every polynomial function is continuous by that limit theorem is continuous. Let us try to write x is equal to 0 continuity. Continuity at the point x is equal to 0. So, what does it mean epsilon given? I have to choose there is a delta bigger than 0 such that x minus 0 less than delta should imply f of x minus f of x should be less than epsilon. That is continuity. So, let us just elaborate this for our setting. That means mod x less than delta should imply x square at 0 value is 0 is less than epsilon because f of x is x square. So, what is the best possible choice of there is a delta? So, what is the best possible selection of delta largest possible I can make? So, we can choose delta. What would you like to choose? Delta such that delta square choose delta such that delta square is less than or equal to epsilon. We have epsilon is given to you. So, choose obviously from this equation. Now, let us look at x is equal to 2. What is happening? At x is equal to 2. So, I want the same thing given epsilon bigger than 0.  So, what is f of x? That is mod f of x minus f of 2. What is that equal to x square minus f of 2? The value is 4. So, this less than epsilon. So, epsilon is given to me. I have to choose a delta. So, what delta you choose? How do you choose delta? If you have not done this kind of a thing earlier, here is the way. See, I want x square minus 4 to be made small. What I know is x minus 2 is small. So, somehow I had to bring in x minus 2 in this. So, what we do is x square minus 4. I can write it as x minus 2 into x plus 2 mod of that. Then, whatever my delta is going to be, so this is going to be less than. It is only what we want to do less than delta into mod of x plus 2. If you still want, now still x is hanging around. I do not want that x 2. So, what you can do is you can write this. There are many ways one can proceed x minus 2 plus 4 because I want in terms of x minus 2, which is less than or equal to delta mod of x minus 2 plus 4. So, that is less than or equal to delta, no bracket here, delta this is less going to be less than delta plus 4. So, if I want x square minus 4 to be less than epsilon, I know this is going to be less than this. If x minus 2 is going to be less than delta, so choose delta such that delta into delta plus 4 is less than epsilon. Then, this quantity will become less than epsilon. So, everything will be okay. Now, you see what is the difference coming? Earlier given epsilon, I could choose delta square less than epsilon. Now, I have to make delta square plus 4 delta to be less than, same delta is not working. I have to make some more modifications. Geometrically, if you want to look at, here is the geometric way of looking at it. My function is y equal to x square. So, let us look at the graph of this function. This is the graph. So, at x is equal to 0, given epsilon, so let us say this is epsilon is equal to 1. Then what is my delta square? Delta square should be less than or equal to 1. So, that will work. So, between this and this minus 1 to plus 1, everything will be going there. But, if I look at some point here, so I have to do it 2 and I look at same epsilon equal to 1. That means what? This is 4, this is 3 and this is 5. That big thing will not work. I have to make my interval smaller, so that the values go inside it. So, what will be the value? Square root 3, other way around, 2 square root of 5. So, that interval I should take, then the values will go inside when you square it. So, it becomes different delta. For the same epsilon, different delta is required. So, I am just trying to illustrate with some example. But, what it is saying, uniform continuity says, I should not bother about where the point is. If two points are closed, then the distance between them is closed. That is called uniform continuity. Let us formulate this in terms of, one can ask, can I characterize this in terms of sequences? This is more like an epsilon delta kind of a definition. Sequences are much easier sometimes to handle. So, here is a theorem. So, f i to r, the following are equivalent. f is uniformly continuous and second. See, in continuity, we are taking a n converges to c. Then, f of a n converges to f of c. But, if we take two different sequences converging to c, then the limit also is converging. But, if I want to remove that point c, then what is the property? a n converging to c, b n converging to c. Then, what is happening to a n and b n? They are going to 0. What should happen? f of a n minus f of b n should also go to 0. So, that makes it independent of the point. So, what we are saying is, continuous is equivalent to saying for every a n b n belonging to i, mod of a n minus b n going to 0 should imply f of a n minus f of b n goes to 0. For example, if I take b n all equal to the constant sequence c, then a n converging to c implies f of, is it okay? So, obviously, says uniform continuity implies continuity. It is stronger than continuity. Is it okay? That uniform continuity is stronger than continuity. For example, if this theorem is true, you can look at this way or epsilon delta either way. I can take all the b n's to be the constant sequence c, then a n converging to c implies f of a n minus f of c goes to 0. That is continuity at the point c.


And now, stay tuned for the mystery program that is unique among all mystery programs. Because even when you know who is guilty, you always receive a startling surprise at the final curtain. In the signal oil program, the Whistler.  I am the Whistler, and I know many things before I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. And now for the signal oil company, the Whistler's strange story. The Jackson Street Affair. She paced nervously, anxiously back and forth across the thin carpeting of the parlor and the house on Upper Jackson Street. A rooming house now, the ancient three-story structure had seen far better days, standing as it had through so much of the history and lore of old San Francisco. But this was present day San Francisco. And Catherine Marley, 30-ish, dark-haired, wasn't thinking of the distant past. Rather, she was worrying about the immediate future. She was worrying so much that when she sat down to light a cigarette, her hand shook. And when the doorbell sounded, she almost leaped from the chair, and then hurried to answer the ring. I'm coming. The trunk is right here in the hall. You can just... Oh, you're not... Rawlings is the name. Fred Rawlings. I just saw your vacancy sign here. Oh, yes, yes, of course. I thought you were from the transfer company. Oh, no, no. I'm from the Brisbane Star out of Australia. Merchant Marine, radio operator. Now, about the room. Oh, uh, come in. Well, I, uh, I hadn't hoped to be so lucky, ma'am. I mean, finding a room vacant here, you see, I'll only be in town a few days. I wanted to visit my old friend, Carl Penel. Carl Penel? Yes. He lives here, doesn't he? Well, he did live here, Mr. Rawlings. Did live here? I don't understand. Mr. Penel moved out just two days ago. Oh? It's odd. Actually, I'd written to him. I told him I was coming. Oh, very odd. Yeah. I'm, uh, I'm sorry. He didn't even leave a forwarding address. Well, of course it shouldn't be too difficult to trace him down, eh? Uh, his trunk here. Where are you supposed to send him? His trunk? Oh, well, that doesn't belong to Mr. Penel. It's my trunk. Oh, indeed. Well, then it is going to be hard to locate Carl, uh, no address. I don't know where to start. I, uh, I don't suppose you'll be wanting to stay here then. I mean, since Mr. Penel has moved out. Huh? Well, I don't know where else I'd stay, man. Might as well be here. I'm getting tired of toting this sea bag about. Um, could you show me to the room? Well, if you wish, I, uh... All right. This way, Mr. Rawlings. It's this floor in the back. Matter of fact, it's the same room Mr. Penel had. Oh, yes. That's a nice room, Miss Marley. Very nice. Sorry, the view isn't more inspiring. Oh, the neighbor's laundry. Oh, that's all right. That's a homey touch, ma'am. Something I miss on shipboard. So, yes, I'll take it. I'll pay in advance. Um, now, is this the closet? Uh, no, no, the closet's over here. Oh. That leads to Mrs. Finch's room. It's bolted. Oh, that's a shame. Mrs. Finch, Emma is the cleaning woman. Oh, the maid. Uh, keeps everything, uh, ship-shaped, doesn't she? That's the idea. Oh, excuse me, ma'am. I just... Oh, uh, come in, Mrs. Finch. Sorry to bother. I haven't quite finished dusting. This is Mr. Rawlings, Mrs. Finch. He's thinking about taking this room. Oh, how do you do, I'm sure. Well, Mrs. Finch, I understand that should I take the room, you and I would be, uh, neighbors. Yes, sir. My room's right next to yours. You can tend to the dusting later, Mrs. Finch. Yes, ma'am. Goodbye, Mr. Rawlings. Goodbye, Mrs. Finch. He's a colorless sort, isn't she? She's neat. Unobtrusive. That's all we ask of her. Um, how is it, Miss, if you'll excuse me asking? How is it such a pretty young woman as yourself is running a rooming house? Oh, it's temporary. I planned to sell the place soon. This was my mother's house. She died a few years ago. After you've just been carrying on until... Yes, until I can make other arrangements. Well, I hope you'll enjoy your stay, Mr. Rawlings. I'm certain I will, ma'am. Certain. And, uh, thanks to you. You don't like this, do you, Catherine? This unexpected arrival of Mr. Fred Rawling. You don't like it at all. And so you hurry quickly down the hall and tap so softly on the door of another room. Catherine, what's wrong? You look... Come into my room, Alex. I must talk to you right away. I don't see what we've got to worry about. This Rawlings is just a friend of Carl's. Don't say we've nothing to worry about. We killed him, didn't we? I'll try to sum up money. Don't forget that, Catherine. And Carl was even thoughtful enough to keep his money on him in a money belt. I'm not forgetting anything, Alex. Oh, how simple it looked. Carl Panel was lonely, we told ourselves. Lonely and rich after his uncle died. No relatives, no friends. Until this Fred Rawling showed up from nowhere. Oh, Catherine. Catherine, you're all on edge. We've got what we wanted. The money. How do we know Fred Rawlings doesn't know about Carl's money? Suppose he does. Alex, I'm sorry. I'd like to share your calm, cool manner. But the fact remains he did notice the trunk. And that trunk contains Carl Panel's body right at this moment. I won't breathe safely until it's out of this house. Wait a minute. Looking for something? Oh, I was just having a look at this old trunk here. Alex, this is our new guest, Fred Rawlings. He's in the Merchant Marine. How do you do, Alex? Hello. I could have sworn that trunk belonged to my friend Carl. That's all? It doesn't. It's Catherine, Miss Marley's. Well, I just got Carl Panel on my mind, I suppose. You folks here about Carl coming into a bit of money? What? No. No, as a matter of fact, we often wondered how he got by. Oh, it was nice for Carl. Nice for anybody to have a rich relative leave him an unexpected win for. Couldn't have happened to a nicer chap. Well, Carl, I'll be getting back to my room. What do you think? I don't know, Catherine. I don't know. Alex. What's the matter? The trunk. Those blurred initials on the side. I never noticed them before. Blurred initials? Well, FR. It's funny. It's not so funny, not so funny at all. FR, they could stand for Fred Rawlings, Alex. They could? It could have been his trunk. And he let Carl Panel use it. Alex, he knows we're lying. Engineware, engineware, engineware.  Engineware, it's one of the principal reasons motors lose pep and power, get fewer miles per gallon of gas. Engineware, it's one of the principal reasons cars gradually use more and more oil until eventually they become oil eaters. No wonder automotive and petroleum engineers for years have sought ways to reduce engineware. And now at last, Signal reports startling success with an amazing new motor oil that reduces by 50% engineware due to lubrication. That means your car can now keep its like new pep and power twice as long. It means you can now enjoy low oil consumption twice as long if your car isn't already an oil eater.  Have a Signal dealer refill your crankcase this week with Signal Premium, the amazing new heavy duty type oil that reduces engineware due to lubrication, 50%. Engineware, engineware, engineware. Alex shares your worry now, doesn't he, Catherine? Alex, who was so cool, so calm up to a few minutes ago. Yes, he senses the terrible peril you've both been placed in with the arrival of Fred Rawlings looking for his friend, Carl Pannell. It was a most unexpected arrival, wasn't it? Especially with Carl Pannell lying dead inside the trunk, which you think Rawlings has already recognized as one belonging to him. He knows you've lied, doesn't he, Catherine? You're certain of that. The only uncertain thing is what to do about it. Finally, Alex makes a practical suggestion. The only thing left for you to do. You've got to get that trunk out of here as fast as possible. It's as simple as that, Catherine. The devil's holding up that transfer company they should have been here an hour ago. Oh, Alex, I can't stand this waiting. I mean with Fred Rawlings snooping around. Well, he can't see you like this. You've got to get a hope. Look, we'll change the plan. You go on over to Mill Valley, the cottage. I'll wait here and see if the trunk gets on the truck. Yes, yes, it might be safer, Alex. At least till I get hold of my nerves there. I know. Go on, now drive over the cottage and wait for him to deliver the trunk. Tonight we'll bury it where it will never be found. I'll stay here, keep an eye on things, particularly on Mr. Fred Rawlings. Driving across the Golden Gate Bridge, you're still wondering if Alex is right, aren't you, Catherine? Alex, yes, he's assurance that everything will work out. At the little cottage where you hope to live after selling the old boarding house, you sit down to wait. The hours drag by like years, don't they, Catherine?  Where do you want us to put this trunk, lady? Oh, in the garage. And now how much do I owe you? It's all taken care of, lady. Tell it the other end. Oh, yes, Alex. Well, thank you so much. We were wondering if you'd forgotten this. Been busy, lady. Bigger stuff. These routine halls just have to wait. Yes, I suppose so. The routine halls have to wait, Catherine. You can't help thinking about the casual, unknowing words of the transfer man. As you lock up the cottage, get into your car and start back toward San Francisco. You feel relaxed now, secure. You'll meet Alex, have dinner with him, and then leave the remainder of the grim plan in his hand. In Mill Valley, you stop for a leisurely lunch before driving back across the bridge. After lunch, you get back into your car, and as you glance out the window, you see a cab passing, coming from the direction of the cottage. A cab bearing a single passenger, Fred Rawlings. Shocked and nervous, you drive quickly back to the cottage and run to the garage. The trunk. It's been opened. Yes, Catherine. The trunk has been opened, undoubtedly, by Fred Rawlings. You feel the panic sweep through you as you realize that Fred probably knows everything now. All about the murder of his friend, Carl Penel. You look inside the trunk, straightened up, startled. There's only a few odds and ends of clothing inside, Catherine. Carl Penel's body has disappeared. It's almost eight o'clock that evening when you arrive back in town. Rush into the rooming house, find Alex waiting for you in the front parlor. A grin on his face. Alex. Alex. I know. I know. Don't tell me. Rawlings followed the trunk out to Mill Valley, didn't he? Yes, and he forced it open. But Alex, the body... No, it wasn't in the trunk. I had a hunch that Mr. Rawlings would do exactly as he did, so I made a little sweat. But Penel's body, what did you do with it? It's in the basement, in the small room behind the furnace. What? Relax. No one ever goes in there. Besides, I moved half a dozen trunks and crates. Pile them up in front of the door. Mrs. Finch could never move them in a million years. Well, Alex, I don't like this. We've got to get rid of that body. All right. All right. We'll get rid of the body late tonight. But it's going to be risky as long as Rawlings is around. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Suppose our fine Mr. Rawlings wasn't around. Mm-hmm. The same thing that happened to Penel could happen to Rawlings, too. Why not, Alex? Why not? This is more like my old Catherine. We wait till he's in bed, asleep, turn on the gas. Look, we better get moving fast. He's not in the room now, is he? No, he went out a little while ago for cigarettes. He'll be back soon. Well, I'll go down to the cellar, turn off the gas.  Hurry. Down in the cellar, you turn off the gas. No one will notice it, Captain. You're certain of that. Because the only other gas outlet in the entire house, beside the one in the kitchen, is in Rawlings' room. You hurry back upstairs. And as you start into the parlor, the front door opens. Evening, Miss Marley. Rawlings. He's back, Catherine, isn't he, and a little too soon. Alex is still in Rawlings' room. You've got to stall Rawlings off long enough for Alex to come back. Oh, good evening, Mr. Rawlings. It's getting a bit cooler out. Yes, yes, it is. Come on into the parlor. I was going to fix a highball. Perhaps you'd join me? Um, thanks, no. Well, keep me company then. Of course. Charming room, Miss. I love these old-fashioned parlors, don't you, Miss Marley? It was Mother's favorite room. I've left it just the way she liked it. Uh, sit down, won't you? Thanks.  Yes. Rather a busy one at that. So many things to do, you know. So many old friends to visit and all. Any of those old friends know the whereabouts of your Mr. Pinnell? No. I'm afraid not. Oh, that's a shame. Oh, I have a feeling I'll find the lead soon, Miss Marley. All set, baby. Uh, Mr. Rawlings, you've met Alex, haven't you? Of course. How are you, old man? Fine, just fine. What if I do?  Well, uh... By George, I will have one. Uh, plain water, eh? As the three of you sit, sipping your drinks. Rawlings seems to monopolize most of the conversation, doesn't he, Catherine? Yes, he's in a talkative mood, enjoying himself. And you chat for almost an hour. Finally, he announces he's going to retire for the evening. And after he's gone, you and Alex sit quietly and wait for an hour or so. And then the two of you slip out into the backyard.  Well, I have a hunch it takes more than a few shots of bourbon to put into sleep.  Oh, no, look. His room's dark. And the windows are all down. That's good. Must be a sleep. All right. You know what to do. Sure, I know. And Alex, when you turn the gas on... I know. Just a little at a time to start with. Will you just leave it to me? Back upstairs in the parlor, you pace the floor. And finally Alex returns from the cellar, drops it to the chair by the fireplace and grins at you. Then he picks up a magazine, leans back, starts to read. You continue to pace the room, and starts to dance occasionally at the clock. Look, relax, huh? Nothing's gonna go wrong. Gasping pouring into that room for almost three hours now. Mr. Rawlings is well on his way. Oh, I know. I know. Come on, have a drink and stop thinking about everything. Alex, wait. What's the matter? Someone's coming down the hall. Hello, you chap. What? Oh, it didn't mean to startle you, Miss Mahali. Sorry, are you still up? Yes, yes, we're still up. I thought you'd gone to bed, Mr. Rawlings. Oh, I started too, but I got to chatting with a fellow across the hall, McGill. I've been in his room all this time. Shooting the breeze, I believe you call it. I see. It seems I've developed a bit of an appetite. Any night eateries about? Oh, on Geary Street, you'll find several. Oh, thanks.  A sandwich or something? No, no, thank you. Oh, well, good night. Nothing could go wrong, Alex. Nothing could go wrong. Okay, how was I to know? You'd better air out that room before it gets back and replace the valve on the gas line. Hurry. Your little plan didn't work this time, did it, Castle? No, Mr. Rawlings is still very much alive. Very much a threat. Down in the cellar, you turn off the gas. Wait a few minutes. Give Alex enough time to put the valve back in the line in Rawlings' room. Then you turn the gas on again. So the gas in the kitchen will function normally. You go back up to the parlor. Alex joins you a moment later. How was it? Pretty bad, but I left the windows open. Most of the gas order will be gone by the time it gets back. Well, what now? Sweetheart, do we try again? No. There's bound to be some trace of gas left in the room. He'd notice it. Check the gas heater. No, we can't try that stunt again, Alex. Then what? You'll have to think of something else. Figure out some other way. And it isn't going to be easy, Alex. It's on your mind all night long, isn't it, Captain?  Something that doesn't involve too many risks. A way to rid yourself of Mr. Rawlings. And by morning, you still haven't found the answer you're looking for. You're having a cup of coffee when he comes in. And you're surprised to see the suitcase in his hand. Why, good morning, Mr. Rawlings. Morning. Just popped in to say goodbye. You're leaving us? I'm afraid so. The ship's going out a day early. Didn't I tell you? I know you didn't. It must have slipped my mind. We're sailing at noon. Oh, I see. Well, I'm awfully sorry to have you leave us so soon. With a matter of fact, I'd like very much to stay on of it, but... Well, you know how it is. Oh, by the way, I have a confession to make, Miss Marley. Oh, a confession? Yes, I feel you ought to know about it, you see. Well, I thought you were trying to put something over on me. What do you mean? Oh, his sudden departure and all that, I... I thought you were covering up for him. Covering up? Why should I do that? Oh, that business about the trunk. It did look rather suspicious, you see. I recognized the trunk immediately. I'd given it to Penel several years ago. Oh, I see. And when I said it was my trunk, you were certain that I... Exactly. Well, actually, it might have been Mr. Penel's at that. There's so many old trunks in the basement, I just suppose they all belong to Mother. They probably had no further use for it. He left it down there when he moved in. And he certainly didn't mention it when he moved away. Well, anyway, I... I do want to apologize, Miss Marley. Well, don't give it another thought. Goodbye, Mr. Rawlings. And the next time you're in port. Right. I'll pop in. Say hello.  As you hurry upstairs to tell Alex the good news. But his reaction isn't quite what you expected. So he's leaving, pulling out just like that. Of course. That's what he just told me. Yeah, that's what he just told you. What? You mean he's lying? He isn't going at all. It's a trick. I think we better go down to the docks, baby, make sure the Brisbane star pulls out and that Mr. Rawlings is aboard when she does. You better tell Emma we're going out. Oh, I will. Oh, Emma. Yes, Miss Marley? We're going out for a while. Take care of things, will you, Emma? But, Miss Marley... We're going out for a while. It's a 20-minute drive to the Embarcadero. Alex parks his car near the pier where the Brisbane star is docked. The hours go by and the two of you watch the loading of the boat. And then a few minutes before 12. She's pulling out all right, baby. Yes, and look up there, Alex. On the deck. Yeah, Mr. Rawlings, big as life. Goodbye, Mr. Rawlings. Bon voyage. Well, honey, I'd say we don't have anything to worry about anymore. Not a thing. Engineware. Engineware. Engineware. Is engineware causing your expensive motor to wear out twice as fast as necessary?  Here's what I mean. In amazing new signal premium motor oils, special properties are engineered into the oil through the Marlborough. Special properties are engineered into the oil through the marvels of modern chemistry. As a result, new signal premium not only reduces engineware due to lubrication 50%, it also protects your motor in all these important extra ways. One keeps oil rings clean and free. Two controls and reduces harmful engine deposits such as carbon, gum and varnish. Three prevents sticking of hydraulic valve lifters. Four stops acid corrosion and rust. Best of all, signal's new heavy duty type oil gives you all this extra protection at no increase in price. Good reason to get your next oil change at a signal service station. Change this week to amazing new signal premium motor oil that reduces engineware due to lubrication 50%. Engineware. Engineware. Engineware. It's all over now. The threat is gone. Sail aboard the Brisbane Star. Now all that remains is for you and Alex to return to the rooming house and at the first opportunity get rid of Penel's body now hidden in the small cellar room behind the furnace. Then the cottage in Mill Valley and a comfortable life thanks to Mr. Penel's money. The two of you drive back to the house and as you step into the parlor you find a tall heavy set man there waiting for you. Hello. You must be Miss Marley. Yes, yes, that's right. I'm Lieutenant Kincaid, police department. I'd like to ask you a few questions. What's wrong? You had a roomie here named Penel, Carl Penel? Yes, but he moved away several days ago. Are you sure? Of course she is. Matter of fact, Alex and I saw him leave in a taxi. He said something about having to catch a train, I think. I see. I'm Mrs. Finch. Will you come in, please? Lieutenant, what's this all about? Oh, Miss Marley. Miss Marley. Emma, what's the matter? Well, it was about the gas. I tried to tell you this morning, but you and Mr. Alex were in such a hurry. What about the gas? Twice now. Two nights in one week. I smelled gas in my room. It worried me. I thought something should be done about it. So she called the gas company and they sent a couple of men over to check the house. Yes. My room being directly over the furnace, I thought maybe that's where the gas was coming from and... The gas company men checked the furnace and found nothing. But in tracing the pipes to the exterior of the house, they had to go into that small room in the cellar. No! Yeah. That's when they called the police. Mrs. Finch identified the body as that of Carl Pannell.  I think you got a lot of explaining to do. Let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program the Whistler each Sunday night at this same time. Signal has asked me to remind you that today the Red Cross, in addition to providing life-saving whole blood and other needed help for our GIs overseas, must now stockpile blood plasma for possible civilian needs, as well as be prepared to furnish emergency food, clothing and shelter in case of disaster or enemy attack here. Good reason why this year the Red Cross needs more of us to help and more help from each of us. Featured in tonight's story were Bill Foreman, Joe Gilbert, Larry Dobkin, Martha Wentworth, Ben Wright and Herbert Lytton. The Whistler was produced and directed by George W. Allen with story by Adrian Jean Doe, music by Wilbur Hatch, and was transmitted to our troops overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service. The Whistler is entirely fictional and all characters portrayed on the Whistler are also fictional. Any similarity of names or resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Remember at this same time next Sunday, another strange tale by the Whistler. Marvin Miller speaking for the Signal Oil Company. Stay tuned now for our Miss Brooke starring Eve Arden, which follows immediately over most of these stations. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Owen Jones was on the BBC's Politics Live show this week to discuss the fallout from Jeremy Corbyn's reinstatement to the Labour Party. Also on the panel was editor of the right-wing spectator magazine. Now, both were asked to comment on Labour anti-Semitism. That meant we heard another right-winger ring their hands about racism when, in fact, they are its biggest promoter. Luckily, Owen brought the receipts. Let's take a look. But I must say this. I must say this. One of the things that complicated the attempts to deal with a genuine problem that existed on the left were people with no credentials to talk about racism coming on national television to grandstand of the way Fraser Nelson has, and I'll just quickly explain. Fraser Nelson is the editor of the spectator. One of his leading journalists, Wadledal, was booted out of the Labour Party for racism. He's still published by the spectator, good enough for the spectator, booted out of the Labour Party for racism. No, no, no, no. Well, no, because I've got to get Fraser to respond. He published his articles, which praise Greek neo-Nazis. He published one article entitled In Defence of the Wehrmacht. Other articles which say there's not enough Islamophobia. I will let Fraser talk about this, but people might think, is this a bit of you doing what about you? We're discussing Jeremy Corbyn today. What the point was, anti-Semitism is a genuine problem that Labour failed to address, and it was complicated by the fact that when people like myself said more action needed to be taken, people without the credentials to do so came on television and made people feel defensive and under attack and compromise those. Let Fraser respond. Well, there's been no articles defending Greek neo-Nazis on the constitution. Yes, there has been. Hang on, hang on, let's just let it... I mean, the thing is, Owen, though I admire him very much as a writer, doesn't strike me as a spectator reader. And I think he might have been misled by what he sees on Twitter. No, no, no, no. You're tacky. Your columnist wrote articles defending Greek neo-Nazis, the Golden Dawn. That's a fact, Fraser. We'll come out with a phrase or a sentence here or there. You put it out on Twitter and there's a kind of inverted pyramid of outrage. Everyone just Googled the fact that the Golden Dawn was praised by the spectators. It's impossible to reconcile the sort of, sort of, Twitter-y things that Owen's saying with the magazine. And there's a difference between an opinion he doesn't like and racism and fascism. Now, you know, one of the problems right now with the Twitter debate is that people are just so keen to take an opinion they disagree with and say, this guy's a racist, this guy's a fascist, without anything really, based on what? Fraser, I'm sorry, I can't let... And that is a pretty strange way to end up. No, no, no, no, no. The debate is good for social media. It's not so good for television. Fraser, it's good for YouTube. So maybe Owen wants to give us a little limbs feel. Fraser, anyone who Googles the fact that the spectator published an article, articles defending the Golden Dawn, which has been banned in Greece as a neo-Nazi organisation, to Google it now and you will find that's the case. And this is the problem. But this is the problem. There is a problem of left... There is a problem of anti-Semitism on the left, which melds with conspiracy. And the problem is... Let Fraser respond to that article. People like you with no moral authority... Because you made a bold claim, let's... But it's just a fact. It's a fact. Well, Fraser... And you can't deny it. And in defence of the Wehrmacht. The article... The article he's referring to... Which is headlined in defence of the Wehrmacht. Where we had a Greek writer saying he could understand, talking about why the reasons why Greeks would support the far right. Now, I'm afraid to say that if you want to understand the evil of modern fascism, you need to also discuss the reasons why people are looking to it. That's factually untrue. The other article he's referring to was... There's no point... Well, we can go down to Owen's Twitter rabbit hole if you want. But what he will not find is any actual article that fits the description he's laying out there. That's not true. This is a social media game, one that, you know, he can knock himself out if he wants to play it, but it is impossible to reconcile with anything which is published in the magazine. And this sort of strange council culture where you tried, rather than debate articles, you come up with shrill misrepresentations what the other person's saying. All right, was Jeremy Corbyn the victim of council culture? This is absurd, Miss Easton, it's own council culture. All right, listen, guys, I'm going to stop it there, because we, I think we've had... Lovely contrast, shrill social media... I think you've both had, no, I think you've both had a fair crack of the whip. Thank God Owen Jones brought the receipts. You saw Fraser Nelson there at the end saying, this is just council culture. Did he say that when they were talking about Jeremy Corbyn's suspension from the Labour Party? Just because he said that anti-Semitism exist, but it was also exaggerated by certain political opponents, the extent of it was exaggerated by political opponents. That's the ultimate example of council culture, because someone is just saying, someone is giving it an analysis, an analysis which is very common sense, which is very reasonable, and suddenly because they've said that they should be suspended, it's completely inconsistent. But the thing I want to focus on, obviously, is when Fraser Nelson was denying all these things, when he was saying, what Owen Jones is coming here with, this is untrue, this is untrue, was he right? Did Owen Jones really go on national television and make up a load of things about the spectator just hoping that the audience wouldn't Google it? No, he didn't. It was Fraser Nelson who was just barefaced lying about the magazine which he edits. So let's look at these articles which were defending Greek neo-Nazis. So first there's this piece from 2013 about Greek neo-Nazi party in Golden Dawn. So the headline. A fascist takeover of Greece, we should be so lucky. Now Fraser Nelson is trying to say, this was not a defence, this was not a defence of Golden Dawn. All you have to do is read the headline. A fascist takeover of Greece, we should be so lucky.  You can say that if you're the writer, by the way, it hasn't really, but you can say that if you're the writer, you can't say that if you're the editor, because the editor, your job is the headlines. You have put that headline, we should be so lucky a fascism takes over in Greece, in your magazine. That means you don't have a leg to stand on when Owen Jones calls you out for it. We can go to some of the quotes from this article, which is by Taki Theodora Coppolis and he writes, Golden Dawn came into being because of PC, which I think is political correctness, poor Greeks at times getting fewer benefits than African illegal immigrants. Then Golden Dawn became very popular with certain poor Greeks, while it defended them from being mugged by Albanian criminals and drug dealers, and for safeguarding older folk after bank withdrawals. Later the article said, Golden Dawn members might need some lessons in social etiquette, but when the bien pensons, need much more is to get off the pot and their double standards. Golden Dawn members are mostly laborers, martial artists, cops, security personnel, and good old fashioned patriotic Greeks. It's worth pointing out, Golden Dawn, this organization which he is saying is mainly good old fashioned patriotic Greeks. It's important to say this is also Golden Dawn members. He's talking about Golden Dawn members, not Golden Dawn voters, Golden Dawn members. Now, Golden Dawn has recently been banned as a criminal organization. If you are a member of Golden Dawn, it's criminal to be a member of Golden Dawn because it's so violent. This was after a court had ruled them to be a criminal organization based on states of violent attacks. They're committed against left-wing activists and migrant workers in response to that. So obviously now they've been banned, now they've been banned by a court. They're a criminal organization. The spectator is no longer writing articles saying these are just good hardworking patriotic Greeks. Now they've changed their tune. The fall of Golden Dawn, the party may have imploded, but the dangers of Creek Neo-Nazism haven't gone away. They've changed their tune because in 2013 they were saying they would be so lucky. They would be so lucky. If fascism took over in Greece, not the same offer, but in the same magazine. Taki though, this is the same offer, had this piece published in the spectator in 2018. This was one that, again, Owen Jones brought up in that intervention, in that debate with him and the editor of the magazine, in praise of the Wermacht. The real story of D-Day is the heroism of the German soldiers who were vastly outnumbered, but fought nobly and to the death. After people pointed out it was pretty grotesque. You're talking about saying in praise of the army of Nazi Germany, the online version of the headline was edited to the other side of D-Day. So obviously a much more acceptable headline, but the first one is what went out grossly offensive to title an article in praise of the Wermacht. Again, I sort of point out to you that this is not one of those situations where the offer can say, oh, the headline was misleading because Fraser Nelson is the editor of his magazine. He has ultimate responsibility for things such as headlines. This is not the only writer, of course, as well. I probably don't need to tell you this is not the only writer at the spectator to put out racist columns. So this is just this one writer. It's just this one writer and a rogue sub-editor who is putting these incredibly offensive headlines on them. No. I'll remind you of Rod Liddle.  He put out this article. The headline was again altered after publication, but the original said, my own view is there is not nearly enough Islamophobia within the Tory party. Now that is disgraceful. I imagine if someone had written there is not enough anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, would that have been published in a mainstream British magazine? I doubt it. Nelson might, again, yeah, he'd say this is just the thing being taken out of comment content. He cannot do that. Let's have a look at Fraser Nelson's response to that. This is earlier. This is in 2013. He says, you're right. Are readers like diversity in well-written pieces that they disagree with? We have no party line. There are some limits, though, aren't there? That was in response to the now deleted defence of Greek neo-Nazis, saying we should be so lucky for fascists to take over in Greece. It's interesting the way in live TV, isn't it? Where the guy, Fraser Nelson, could just say, no, didn't publish that. No, didn't publish that. No, didn't publish that. And he can hope that fundamentally, at least the audience who sort of identify with him and don't identify with him in Jones will basically just believe him. So he just denies it. There's no sort of... He doesn't even bother trying to justify it or trying to make amends or anything. He just says, no, no, no, didn't happen.  And he hopes that enough people in the audience are going to believe him. I mean, it is... I mean, there's that to comment on, but also just how grotesque it is to have all of these people rolling out their trauma and their anger that Jeremy Corbyn had, the temerity to say that maybe anti-Semitism in the Labour Party, whilst it was real, was also exaggerated because when asked, the public thought that a third of Labour Party members had been investigated for anti-Semitism when it was only 0.6%. This guy who's published this stuff is getting on his high horse about racism. Well, you know, they're saying they've got somebody, Rob Liddle, who said there's not enough Islamophobia. Just a few weeks ago, a young girl, I think she was an Iranian girl, was trying to come to this country in an inflated boat, a number of other people died along with her, but the idea that that kind of discourse feeds into very clear policy outcomes, like immigration, like our resistance to naturalised, you know, undocumented migrants, like what Pretty Patel is saying about a wave machine in the channel to push these people back. That has consequences, the things those people write. And as somebody who's Iranian, if I...  And the reality is there was a major complaint put forward to Kirstama this week, a third of Muslim... I'm not Muslim, my father's Muslim, most Iranians are Muslim. A third of Muslims in the Labour Party have either observed or experienced Islamophobia around half of them don't believe that the leadership will do anything substantial about it. That's astonishingly bad, and it's clearly something that should concern the leadership, but they're not talking about it. And why didn't Joe Coburn jump in there? I like Joe Coburn, but I think she's much better than Andrew Neal. But why didn't she come in there and say, but that's not factually correct, is it, Fraser? Well, because she works alongside Andrew Neal, who is the chairman of the spectator, right? The spectator, you Google spectator summer parties. It's the summer party which includes the great and the good of the Westpins, the media and political establishment every summer, right? So is she really going to say, yeah, Fraser Nelson, you've published these articles in praise of the Vermont, that happened, right? This is not up for debate. It's not a point of view. It's not, oh, we're going to have two sides of this. It happened. It's like gravity. You throw something at, it's coming back down. The spectator published an article called in praise of the Vermont, amongst other things. She should be saying that.  She should be saying, well, that's not true, or she should say, stop Owen, is this true Fraser, was that headline published? Yes or no? But we're in a really dangerous place with the BBC because it's been institutionally captured in many parts by the right. That's just a fact in many parts by the right. The BBC effectively houses the politics of the right and the sort of socially liberal centre, which is definitely not interested in socialism and is not particularly good on migrant politics. And then you've got the fact that we can't really, you know, they've got 80% of the broadcast news, market share, 80% of radio news, market share, online news. So people like Joe Coburn or Fiona Bruce on BBC Question Time, no, they can't avoid this. They need to take this very seriously. If people say things which are untrue on a BBC platform, BBC journalists, particularly presenters, need to know, I think this needs to come from the very top, from the, you know, from the director general, you need to establish what is and is not a fact. There is not a point of view about whether something was published or not, whether it was or it wasn't. And that's concerning. And I think that's partly an outgrowth of the BBC's culture right now, which is not good. But like I say, people like Andrew Neal, he was the chairman of the spectator. Boris Johnson was his editor. Hey, who was meant to interview who in the last general election? It was Andrew Neal was meant to interview his former employee, Boris Johnson. And yet, you know, he doesn't turn up for an interview. And yet Jeremy Corbyn did an interview with Andrew Neal on the understanding that Boris Johnson would do the precise same thing. Now that may not have been coordinated, right? Andrew Neal may not have known that was going to happen in the way that it did. But this is clearly not an adequate way to run an organization which is effectively given a monopoly on broadcast media in this country, broadcast news media. It's not good enough.  He's just outright lying that the BBC has to do better than this too. They can't talk about fake news and post-truth if they're not even going to say to somebody who's clearly lying, you're not being honest. No, I totally agree with that. And I mean, yeah, I mean, just thank God he was there to sort of point out the hypocrisy that was going on there. And yet the excuse as well to just say, oh, we publish all sorts of things, people disagree with. I mean, there's clearly a limit, right? If Fraser Nelson seriously saying that, no, we will publish literally anything because there are loads of disagreements. I mean, has he even published anything? If he's saying that Jeremy Corbyn, or if he's agreeing, if he's nodding along to say that Jeremy Corbyn shouldn't be readmitted to the Labour Party because he said that potentially the extent of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party was exaggerated.  No, but in defense of the Worm Act, that apparently is very much allowed.


This is St. Tech, Hawaii. Community matters here. I'm your host, Sharon Thomas Yarbrough. Welcome and thank you for joining Sister Power. Sister Power's vision is that women everywhere were learned to live as sisters, to respect each other's differences, to heal each other's wounds, to promote each other's progress, and to benefit from each other's knowledge. This afternoon, our Sister Power VIP guest is the lovely Robin Sherrod. Robin is an ordained and licensed evangelist. She is a founder of Empower to Prosper. Empower to Prosper Purpose is to educate, empower, and inspire others to fulfill their destiny. This accomplished through coaching, facilitation, training, and inspirational motivational speaking. Empower to Prosper provides professional training and group coaching to corporate non-profit and faith-based entities. Clients have included Department of the Army and Navy, Army chaplain programs, and United States Veterans Initiative in Honolulu, Hawaii. She has recently launched the Think Pink Love Your Life campaign as it means to bring further awareness to the importance of breast cancer and women wellness screenings as well as being a survivor herself. Welcome, Robin. Well, thank you, Sharon. Thank you so much for having me on Sister Power. I am just thankful to be able to come and to share and to be on such a wonderful platform encouraging and empowering women. Thank you. Well, just tell us a little bit more about yourself. Well, I am retired military. I am retired Army of 22 years. I've been able to travel across the globe and to do many great and wonderful things. I'm also, as you mentioned, an ordained and licensed evangelist. And I am an empowerment coach. People ask me, what's the difference between an empowerment coach and a life coach? Life coaching is wonderful and they're great pioneers in the field of life coaching. But my calling, I feel, as an empowerment coach is to work with someone and to find out what they already have nested on the inside of them and to just give them some tools to be able to bring that out. And so that's what I do if I can give an example. Please do. Okay. An example, I was working with a young lady and we were discussing some things in a form. And I asked her, I said, well, do you have a card or do you have electronic means of providing me your information? And she said, well, no, I don't have a card. And I said, well, why not? And she said, because I'm currently working in this one position and I may be moving to another position. So I figured I shouldn't make any cards. I said, you missed my point. My point was not where you worked. I didn't want a card based on where you worked. I want a card based on what you do. Ooh. And then she stopped and she just looked at me and she said, can we talk further? I said, sure. So I met with her and I just began to explore with her the gifts and talents that already lie within her and to help her to be able to bring those gifts and talents forward. And not to make a card based on a company that you work for but make a card based on who you are as an individual. And so she felt very empowered just by that little interaction that we had together and it helped her to be able to move forward in what she really wanted to do but she was stuck at one particular point. So that's just one example of what I can do for my clients and for people that I meet in terms of empowerment coaching. Well, I'm glad you brought that out because I think we, I, overlooked to give our wonderful title of this episode, Attitude, Gratitude, is part of it. But again, tell us our title, Attitude of Gratitude, the power that lies within us. Yes, yes. That's our title for this episode. And what I'd like what you brought out that you were immediately empowering this woman and you were motivating her and educating on how she can move forward with her life. So that's your calling for right now. One of your callings. One of the callings, yes. Great. Well, we're eager to hear more about Think Pink, Love Your Life campaign. Please share a winner why you started this organization. Okay, I started it. It was based off of October of 2015. Things in my life changed drastically. I had went to a doctor's appointment and on my way out the door, the doctor spoke to me and she said, when was the last time you had a mammogram? And I said, oh, in July of this past year, this was October, in mind you of 2015. She said, well, let's just do another one. And I did not go into the office for that. But I said, well, it's not even six months yet. Do I need to have another mammogram? And she said, yes, let's just go ahead and have it completed. And so I did.  I did not have a lump. I had no physical symptoms whatsoever. Based on the fact that I have very dense breast tissue, it was hiding itself. Triple negative.  Break that down to us. Well, triple negative breast cancer is where there is no targeted hormonal treatments for it. So you have to go through the whole gamut of chemotherapy.  So I experienced the hair loss. I experienced my nails turning extremely dark. Every area of my body where I had nail, my feet included turned dark. There was just many things that happened in the progress of time. And so I had to have, because of the aggressiveness of the illness, I had to have chemotherapy first. And then I had the operation. And because of the propensity for a return and a more aggressive return, then I elected to have a bilateral mastectomy. So I had that done and completed. And during that time period, when I was in the hospital doing my recovery is when think pink, love your life was brought to me in the hospital room at that particular time. And it's to raise awareness for women to take the time. We take so much time with other things in our lives. We take time for our children, our spouses, our work. And oftentimes we put ourselves on a back burner. So think pink is just raising awareness for women to make sure you get your wellness checks because the best protection oftentimes is early detection, which was in my case. If I had waited six months, my outcome would have been very different. So that's how think pink love your life came about.  Yes, he is.  And I'd love your title, Empower to Prosper. What is your mission statement? Well, my mission statement as you shared is to educate, to inspire and to encourage men and women to live life and fulfill their destiny and to enlarge their position in life. Not to see life as a box to be lived, go to work every day, do ABC and D, but you have gifts. Each one of us have wonderful gifts and talents that's nestled on the inside of us. And those gifts and talents are there so that we can share them with the world. And so that's what Empower to Prosper is about. And so we do it again in different forms, in different ways to bring about that awareness and to bring about that education. That's wonderful. One of the things, three words that my mother instilled to me at a very young age is appreciation, gratitude and attitude. Talk a little bit about the power of gratitude. The power of gratitude, Sharon, it began to really resonate with me. As I mentioned about the breast cancer diagnosis and then the surgery, I had to have a subsequent surgery after that. And the surgery was scheduled to be about eight hours in length. Had done all of the pre-checks, everything was thumbs up, excellent care of doctors and staff. However, the surgery had some major complications and I ended up being in the surgical procedure for 24 hours, for 24 hours. It went from eight hours. The physician told you eight hours. Eight hours. And it went to 24 hours the entire day. How many was on the staff, physicians? How many physicians were? In that particular, my understanding in the room, at that particular time I had about four, about four doctors that was there during the time of the surgery. And again, major complications that happened, microscopic surgery. And it took 24 hours for them to bring me out initially when I came out of the surgery. I was in the recovery room and they discovered that I had a blood clot. So they had to take me back in for an additional four hours of surgery. And that's when things went drastically wrong. I actually died on the table and they had to bring me back. My kidneys failed, my liver failed, everything. I was gone. And during that time period, I hadn't experienced with God. And people asked me the question, were you able to see your body looking from above? And I said, no, I was so far. It was so many more dimensions above that that I experienced for myself. And a few things very quickly of what I learned through that experience. I said, sometimes we get so caught up in making sure we cross every T and dot every I. But during my experience, what was shared with me, with my time away, with the Lord, that he really looks at a few things. One of them is our love. How do we love? First of all, how do we love him? And then how do we love our brother and our sister? And how do we love mankind? Secondly was our stewardship. What are we doing with the resources that he has given us? How are we honoring him in that? And then our gifts and our talents. You know, the gifts that he has given unto us. Because he said, you know, I extend it, but I gave gifts unto man, I gave gifts unto woman. And what are we doing with those gifts? What are we doing with those talents? And like the gift that you have, the gift to bring women together, the gift to empower women, to have this platform. It's just wonderful. And so those were the things during my transition. I could hear, I could see, I could feel, but I did not have a bodily form. So I could see my son, what their life would be like without me. I could see people that I loved doing this transition time. And I was so ready to go. I was so ready to say, okay, it was so peaceful at a point. I was like, I'm so ready to leave here and go on to the other side. And an angelic being came and said, no, you must go back. Because if you go through those doors, you're going to see God's glory. And no man has seen my glory and lived to tell about it. So you must go back and you must share your experience. Now there are going to be some that's going to believe you. There's going to be some that's going to doubt. There's going to be some that are not going to believe. But that's not for your concern. Your concern is to go and to spread the message and to let others know that there is life after this life. So let's live as such. You know, and I am so touched. I want Ray to bring up a clip about suggestions for increasing gratitude in your life. And go through this with us.  Sure, sure, sure. So when we look at having an attitude of gratitude, there's a quote that I really, has really resonated with me. And it's called, the quote is gratitude is vitamin for the soul. This is by Immanuel Dagger. And it resonates with me because when we look at, of course vitamin, our bodies and our makeup, you know, vitamins are essential nutrients that we have within our bodies. And how gratitude is an essential nutrient for the soul. But it's fueled by our attitude. It is fueled by our attitude. And so sometimes like with our bodies, we have to have supplements. We get a vitamin supplement that we take to enhance what's already there. So that's what gratitude is. Gratitude is already inside of us. But sometimes it just needs to be enhanced. It needs to be brought forward. Regardless of the situation that you find yourself in, am I saying that we ignore those bad situations and bad circumstances that we have? Absolutely not, absolutely not. But gratitude gives us the strength to be able to cope with it. Just another example, when I was in the hospital, 24 hour surgery, when I was in a coma for 12 days, when I came out of the coma, I was only able to move my eyes and my index finger. I was totally paralyzed. I was totally paralyzed. Those were, I could not swallow on my own. I could not speak. My short-term memory had been affected. And of course I could not move. And during those times when rehabilitation therapy would come in, occupational therapy, they would come in and try to work with me, I found myself that when I was not at my best, I didn't have a good day. Although they were working with me, they would lift my arms, they would do things, but my mind was like, it's just the way my life is going to be.  And then when I shifted my focus to being grateful for the fact that I could breathe, the fact that I could see, the fact that I could move my little pinky finger, when I began to think about the positive and those great things that, you know, just through that, then I began to tell my finger, my second finger, I want you to move, you will move, you will move. I visualized myself walking. I visualized myself talking. I visualized not being fed because my mother was there and she had to feed me. And my friend was also there, a very good friend of mine and she also had to feed me as well. So I visualized myself holding my spoon and holding my fork and as I began to do that and press through, I began to start feeling emotions, you know, in my body. It took months for me to get back to full capacity and I still have on my left side, I still have an area on my body that I have no feeling. This is an amazing story and if people don't believe in miracles, stay tuned. We're gonna take a short break and we're gonna come back to this wonderful story of gratitude, thank you, my clinic. This is Think Tech Hawaii, Raising Public Awareness. I had no clue. Greetings, I'm Stephen Phillip Katz, the long time host of Shrinkwrap Hawaii. Think Tech is important to me because without Think Tech I never would have had a chance to realize my dream of having a show of talking with other therapists, finding out what they're doing and sharing it with the world at large. Now, for the first time ever, Think Tech Hawaii is participating in an online web-based fundraising campaign to raise $40,000. Give thanks to Think Tech. We'll run only during the month of November and you can help. Please donate what you can so that Think Tech Hawaii can continue to raise public awareness and promote civic engagement through free programming like mine. I've already made my donation and I look forward to yours. Please send in your tax-deductible contribution by going to this website www.thanksforthinktech.causevox.com. On behalf of the community enriched by Think Tech Hawaii's 30-plus weekly shows, thank you for your generosity. Welcome back to Sister Par with our VIP guest, Robin Sherard. And tell us again, you've had, you have such an amazing story to share in the title of our episode. It's attitude of gratitude, the power that lies within. You know, again, people ask me, they say, how was it, how is it that you were able to maintain your strength through everything, through all the adversity and the trials and the tribulations? And I share with them, first of all, it's my faith in God. It is my faith in God for knowing that He is a very present help in the time of trouble. And then also my attitude, of which He has given to each and every one of us, and it depends upon us as to what we do with that. But when I start to see the positive changes with my attitude in terms of my healing and my recovery, because I was still paralyzed, I still couldn't move, but I was able to shift my attitude. So I still had power. And so, you know, for whoever that's going through something right now, and you may seem like and it may feel like that your world is just falling apart, you have no control over anything, you do have control. You have control of how you handle what is being tossed or what is being thrown or what is being put before you. You do have that power and having that attitude of gratitude, which is that power to last within. You're getting us ready for 2018. You know, I think these are wonderful tools that you're sharing with us. And part of what coaches do is ask questions that expand, deepen, reveal and shift. Give us some examples that would jumpstart our life for 2018. Okay, great. Thank you for asking that question, Sharon, you know, in November, of course, many celebrated as the month of Thanksgiving, but Thanksgiving is not about a day. It's about a lifestyle. It's about a health style because when we change the way we think, how we think, we change it to something more positive. Then again, it has physical effects upon us. Our immune systems, it is more generated. We have more stamina and endurance. But to continue to answer your question in terms of attitude and gratitude and some practical applications, one of the things that I would like to share is to having a gratitude journal. A gratitude journal is, does not necessarily have to be something that's hard copy, but for those that would like to have something hard copy, you can for those that are very tech savvy if you want to have this journal on your phone, you can. There are different apps and downloads that you can do, but one of the exercises is called Hunt for the Good Stuff. And this is through Martin Seligman, who is the father, if you will, of positive psychology. And I was trained in this area of resiliency. And one of the modules and one of the teachings is referring to Hunt for the Good Stuff. So Hunt for the Good Stuff is when you actually stop and take a moment and think about your day and jot down three things that happened that was positive for your day.  All the way to I had a wonderful brief and I did great, you know, I got five stars on it, whatever that may be, there's no limits. So take the limits off of it and just write down three things. Every day if you can and reflect upon that and then go back and take a look at it. And if you get those down points and down times in your life, which we do sometimes, sometimes we have the mountain high experiences and sometimes we have those little valley low experiences. So having that gratitude journal and taking that out and pulling it and then looking at it, what counter the negativity bias. Negativity bias is that the first place we often go to is the negative. And when we hunt for the good stuff, when we journal, when we write those things down then we're building that optimism. We're building, we're seeing the glasses have full, we're seeing the glasses have full instead of it being, you know, empty. Sure. Well, you've answered my next question. People may ask why is gratitude so important? And so we'll move on to the next phase and it's all about showing up. I hear that right often. It's all about showing up. That's when the magic happens. The power is in the asking. How do you train and counsel people to ask for what they want? You know, that's, you would think that it would be easy for people to really ask for what they want. But they do, they find it hard to do. So one of the two- Especially women. Exactly, especially women. Especially women. Now we don't have a problem telling our children, you know, what to do.  But when it comes to term and being assertive, you know, sometimes in that regard. But when it comes down to asking for what we want. So I asked the question. I said, do you feel that you're worth it? Are you worth it? Are you worth it? So it's about knowing your self-worth. It's about knowing your self-worth. But also I find sometimes that some of my clients and people that I interact with, they don't see themselves as being worthy. So how to start there? How to start with them saying positive affirmations about themselves and what they desire and what they want. And then I have them to speak it forth. Okay, and I have them to look at themselves in the mirror and I have them to speak it forth. And then I also, I have them ask them about their faith-based. If they're faith-based, then I want them to pray about it. I want them to ask God to give them the strength and the wisdom to be able to ask and not look at it as anything being selfish. But look at it as that, you know, this is, I'm worth this. I'm important. But this, definitely, this sister power is gonna need a part two and a part three. And we're just almost out of time. But Robin, I read you are currently pursuing your doctorate degree and pastoral community counseling with Argosy University. Yeah. Citizens in Parang, Hawaii will like to donate a scholarship to Argosy University in the amount of $5,000. Oh my goodness, thank you. Absolutely, this is for you. Thank you. I wish it was more. Thank you, Bill. So very welcome and thank you so much for coming in and empowering us. And I wanna thank the audience for your time and spending part of your time with us. Oceans of Aloha, peace and love.
