Craft presents the Great Gilder Sleeves. Yes! The ones who also bring you big cross every Thursday night present each week at this time Harold Perry is the Great Gilder Sleeve. Written by Leonard L. Evans. We'll hear from the Great Gilder Sleeve in just a moment. But first, since all of you homemakers are extra busy these days, with your Victory Gardens, First Aid classes and so on, I want to tell you about the speedy way to make a favorite American main dish. With a thrifty product called Kraft Dinner, you can make delicious macaroni and cheese in just 7 minutes cooking time. In every package of Kraft Dinner, you get a quick cooking macaroni that needs no baking at all. Also, there's some Kraft grated that puts the cheese goodness through and through the tender macaroni. You'll find Kraft Dinner a real lifesaver these busy days, so tomorrow, get several packages of it. Meet the mealtime emergencies at your house with Kraft Dinner's grand macaroni and cheese. Did you ever lend an organization your living room for a meeting and then find that you weren't invited to attend? Well, that's what's happening to Throckmorton P. Gilder Sleeve. The Summerfield Little Theater Group is meeting to discuss plans for their summer barn season, and the Great Gilder Sleeve is out in the hall complaining to Bertie the Cook, who had nothing to do with the matter. It isn't as if they were anybody important, Bertie. After all, they're just going to put on a couple of stale dramas and somebody's barn. But what's that? They're giving the plays in a barn, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. Bertie, did you ever smell one of their plays? Oh, I guess they're all through. Well, good Lord, it's all arranged. We're going to have our summer theater in Mrs. Guernsey Stable. Oh, well, but really, Mrs. Guernsey, don't you think this is the wrong time to go out of the livery stable business? Mr. Gilder Sleeve, we are referring to an old carriage house on my estate. Oh. Livery stable, indeed. Now, Mrs. Guernsey, mustn't turn up your nose at livery stables these days. And this is Mr. Bruce Burdock, our director. A charm, simply a charm. Bruce was with Orson Well. Oh, yes, one of the men from Mars, no doubt. And this is Charlie Robertson. Mr. Robertson, the pleasure is all mine. No doubt. And now, we must start the ticket sale. That means we must order oodles and oodles of tickets. Now, where does one get them? Tickets? Oh, the best place I know is the World Ticket Printers of Chicago. Just mention my name. Well, thank you, Mr. Gilder Sleeve. You seem quite familiar with these details. Oh, yes. I've sent those people a lot of business. That was when I was a director of a well-known stage company. You were? Well, in that case, I simply insist that you attend our first rehearsals and lend your professional touch. Oh, no, no, no. I won't take no for an answer. We'll hold our next meeting here again on Tuesday. Come, boys. Time to go. Goodbye, boys. Goodbye, folks. Well, I always knew I'd have a chance to monkey with the stage. My drama done told me. Were you really a director of a well-known stage company once? Well, of course, my dear. When I was out West, I was on the board of directors of one of the biggest bus lines in Arizona. Our first place would be something down to earth.  Oh, yes, of course. I thought they would. Now, I just happened to dig up a beautifully written play that was a magnificent success at Princeton when I went there. In fact, the author had to take 22 curtain calls. My goodness, I couldn't straighten up for a week. What was the name of your play, uncle? Deep in the heart of Maryland. Would anyone like to hear the plot you would? Well, okay. Now, I'll play all the parts myself. The first act opens in the drawing room of ex-Governor Sillsby's mansion, The Shingles. We discover an old Southern mammy, Auntie Freezier, as she speaks. Well, here he is in the drawing room of ex-Governor Sillsby's mansion, The Shingles. Things look mighty poorly for the old governor. She's interrupted by her husband, Uncle Rufus. The two of them do a very comical song, and then Uncle Rufus speaks. Yeah, Auntie Freezier. Things do look mighty bad. And it's all on account of that no-account neighbor, Dalton Jackson, who holds the mortgage. Then Auntie Freezier says, Ain't it the truth? She all looks like he's going to finally wind up with the shingles. Then Dalton enters, a very mean character, lower than Bunions on a snake. Dalton says, I brought these flowers for Miss Levinia. Please inform her of my presence. Then he comes down to the footlights and whispers, Little does the fair Levinia suspect that I am a married man with a wife and seven children now tuna PA. Levinia, thinking that the visitor is another, trips into the room. Oh, excuse me, she says. I didn't know it was you, Mr. Jackson. Ah, me proud duty. You thought I was that young welp-crandle berrier? Oh, no, I didn't. You did. I didn't. You did. You didn't. I did. You did. Did I? If I could go on like this for hours, folks, it's simply chuck-full of sparkling dialogue. Oh, but really, old fellow, this isn't our type of play. You're right, Brucey Boy.  Oh, is that so? Uh-huh. You're shot right smack in the middle of act second. And really, you had no idea how I'm looking forward to your death scene. Yeah.  Uh, just, uh, what was, uh... Yes, and there's a fine part for you, Charlie. Will you wake up, please? You'll be ideal as Lavinia's weak brother. Don't go to sleep during the rehearsal. I didn't even hear you. You'll be ideal as Lavinia's weak will's finalist brother. Uh, Sibley Sillsby. Oh, do you rarely think on the type rarely? Yes, uh, rarely. But definitely, Charlie Boy. Now, Marjorie, you can play Lavinia. Oh, that should be fun. Uh-huh. Dolly Dobson from Next Door can play the ingenue, and I think we'll try Judge Hooker as ex-governor Sibley. And, uh, the rest of the parts will be easy to catch. Uh, all except the Southern Manny. Are you going to play that role yourself? Oh, no, I've got somebody. Uh, Bertie? Oh, yes, sir? Uh, Bertie, have you ever had any ambition to go on the stage? Oh, I'll do it, please. Oh. And we've got a nice fat part for you in our new show.  Hmm, on me, that'll look good. All right, Bruce, give him his cue again. Oh, all right. But Governor Sillsby, you don't understand. I do understand. But the trouble is, you don't let me get a word in, edgewise. You better try to get it right, or else an opening night Hooker will get the hook. Go on. Can you remember when this plantation stretched? See? That's right, corn-fed hickory hams. You take the lime of beans, Judge. Well, how would you read that one? Something like this. I can remember when this year, plantation stretched as far as your eye could see. You see? Well, that gives me an idea. Yes, and it gives me an idea, too, Judge. What's that, Gildy? I think I'll play the part myself. But what about me? I've bought tickets for all my friends already. Good. Now you'll be able to keep them. What, the tickets? No, your friends. Well, in that case, I'm going to take all of my furniture out of Act 1 and go home.  Stage manager? What are my duties? To get some decent-looking furniture for Act 1. How's my makeup? Oh, fine. Only don't blink those big eyelashes so fast, my dear. It sends a draft to the theater. Where's Charlie Robinson? Where's what's his name? The fellow who plays the villain. Oh, you mean Mr. Uptdike? Haven't you heard what's happening to him? No, Mrs. Jersey. What's happening to Mr. Uptdike? Oh, his wife's having a baby. He had to rush her to the hospital. A baby? He can't do this to me. What does he mean having a baby at a time like this? I tell you, I simply won't have him. But Uncle Morton, who's going to read his lines? Of course I know him, but I'm doing the governor already. But I could do two parts for the dress rehearsal. However, Mr. Uptdike better cut out these monkey shines and be here for the opening tomorrow night. Ready, Uncle Morton? Yes. Get braces, please. Oh, there you are, Charlie. Yes, here I am, but I can't stay long. Why not? I've just been drafted. Oh, my goodness. I was sure the Army would skip you. Well, the only thing we'll be able to do is open tomorrow night is the box office for re-farm. I have a wonderful idea. Charlie played your younger brother, didn't he, Marjorie? Yes. Then why not have your younger brother take Charlie's place? I can. I've got the candy concession out in the audience between acts. But Lee Rotty, you'll sell twice as much candy if the people can buy it from somebody in the cast. I know. When I was with Maxwell's comedians, I caused more broken hearts and decayed teeth than any other leading man in the ten-show business. Well, jeepers, I never thought of that. Okay, I'll do it. Fine, now we're all set. Let's get started. Where's Birdie?  What fellow to play Uncle Rufus? Mr. Gildersley, do you never assign that part to anyone? Great jumping jeeps. Do I have to do all the thinking around here? Do I have to do all the work myself? No, but it looks like you'll have to play all the parts yourself. You mean portray Uncle Rufus as well as Dott and Jackson the Menace and Governor Sal'sby, the grandfather? You can try, Uncle Mort.  Marjorie, but how am I going to keep from bumping into myself coming in and going out? I'll be in a daze before the evening's over. Yeah, punk, it looks like this is going to be one of your bad days. Mr. Gildersley will be with us again in just a moment.  There isn't quite enough leftover from today's dinner for tomorrow's meal. Well, let me tell you how to stretch and glamorize what is left into a thrifty main dish. Cream the leftover meat and serve it in a delicious ring of macaroni and cheese. Macaroni and cheese that you cook in just seven minutes. You do it for the product called Kraft Dinner. In every box of Kraft Dinner, there's a special quick cooking macaroni. Also, some Kraft grated that lets you put the cheese flavor through and through in a jiffy. Just seven minutes at the stove and you have fluffy tender macaroni drenched in cheese goodness. For a smart macaroni ring, press the macaroni and cheese into a ring mold. Let it stand a few minutes, unmold on a platter and pour your cream meat into the center. Delicious. Of course, you can serve Kraft Dinner just in a serving dish. The family will love the macaroni and cheese made this thrifty seven-minute way, so have some tomorrow. Ask your dealer for Kraft Dinner. And now back to the Great Gilder Slave. It's the opening night of Deep in the Heart of Maryland and Uncle Mort is still stuck with three parts. The audience is in their seats, the actors are in their places to say nothing of a dither. The stage manager, Judge Hooker, is ready to pull up the curtain. The overture begins. Old Governor Silver's home dish shingles. And things look mighty bad for the old Governor. I wonder where my husband, Uncle Rufus, the butler is. Now, who can that be? Won't you let me in? Has you been again? You mumblin'. I just lost my shirt. Rufus, you've gone again? Oh, now I sugarpussed. Wait a minute now. Can Mr. Gilder sleep up against the stone wall? Yeah, but she loves cranberry. A poor but honest aristocrat. All this wouldn't have happened if suddenly, slibly, Miss Vinnie's near-to-well brother hadn't lost the mortgage money, playing AC Ducey with Dalton Jackson. Yes, and this is what caused all... Shh, here comes Mrs. LaVinia, the prettiest gal in two-up-sit township. Mama, I'm in for a spell, but it's cleared up now. With rich money when she runs in the Freakness. Next. Faster go by, faster shaster, out of go jump. You'll have to pay the bill, and after all... But why, Mrs. Holstein? Where is Mr. Uptight? Oh, he couldn't come tonight, either. Last night, he couldn't come because his wife was having a baby. What's it tonight? Twins! Boy, and is it dirty. Did I ever get this burnt cork off, Leroy? Oh, I know. Hooker, lend me a clean handkerchief, will you? Surely, here you are, Gildy. Thanks very much. Quiet, Judge. There's a show going on. Not for another hour, Dottie. How many lines have you got? Have I got all the black off my face, Leroy? Yeah, but... Give me the plug hat. Last, Miss Viney. Kindly excuse my hands. I've just been greasing my end horse. Mr. Viney, are we alone? I feel a vague apprehension that the reddish glint in his eye bodes no good for me. Yes. Last, Miss Sinister Plans will bear for root. I've been waiting for this moment. Now I have you in my clutches. No. This is foiled again. Be gone, blackguard, and remember... Your head must answer to Crandall Berry. Oh, thanks. He who harms one head of your... I'll return on Saturday to foreclose the mortgage. Now give me the goatee and the white mustache and some glue, will you? Oh, thanks. Now, Mr. Gildy. Not now, Dottie. All right, but... See, now the wiggly, Roy. Hold that mirror up. There. I've got to go now. My public wiggly... You're crying. Come and sit down. Signed your grandpappy. And he'll all tell you a story to cheer you up. Yeah. Yeah. This story took place when I was a young man. That was when the plantation was dressed as far as your eye could. See? The stable hands must be enjoying themselves. Well, anyway, this is a story of Bessie. Bessie and me, we roamed the hills together. She adored me. And I guess I kind of loved her, too. For years, we were constant companions until one day, to Ragitay, struck. Bessie stumbled in a gopher hole and broke her leg. There was nothing else to do but shoot poor Bessie. She's dead now. But there'll always be a warm spot in my heart for her. Was Bessie your favorite horse, grandpapa? No, ma child. Bessie was my first wife. Quite amusing. Some of the actors are excellent. I like the old man, Governor Sillsby, and also the Uncle Rufus character. They're both fine actors.  One of the big freakness handicaps. And if that's Shasta Go, don't go... Has Mr. Crandall ever been a jihaki before? No. No, Dottie, not now. I was waiting for you on stage. Okay, give me the blank pistol, quick. Here you are. No, Uncle, wait! I haven't got time to wait, P. Roy. Cheapers, that wasn't a blank pistol. That was my... Meet again. Yes, and do your sorrow, Dalton Jackson. For today, I am writing Shasta Go in the freakness. Is what? Yes. You cringe at the thought of me winning not only the race, but also the fair Levinia and her old homestead from your vile clutches. Little does he know that I have a revolver in my pocket.  Ah, now's my chance. Take that, Crandall Berry! Ah, I am shocked. Oh, I will win the divine Levinia. Hell! I can't make any more of these quick changes. Speed it up, Gillie. Do you realize it's 12.30 already? 12.30, great balls of fire. Is the drawing room set back in place? Yes, everything's ready to go. All set out there, Bertie? I think so, Miss Gillie. Okay, then. Flash the orchestra. Third act on your toes, everybody. Hey, she isn't supposed to say that. Bertie is starting the whole play all over again at half past 12. Four o'clock in the morning. No, no, I won't. This is Mr. Whalen, a talent scout from RKO Pictures. Oh, a talent scout. Yes, I want to sign up a member of the cast. Oh, no. Not me. That's right, not you. I've got a contract for your horse. He has to go. The studio is running short of trucks. Good night, folks. Good music right on this program was composed and conducted by William Randall. This is Jim Bannon speaking for the Kraft Cheese Company. And inviting you to tune in again next week at this same time for the further adventures of The Great Yielders League. We Americans are mighty lucky.

Have you been scouring around your social media posts? Do you often see news concerning the times now? A lot of dire news, a lot of sub stories, and a lot of doom and gloom. What if we can turn that around? Hey, welcome to Freedom Quick Tips and in this episode we'll be talking about challenges or content that can put that frown upside down. We know that in today's normal, we have to be careful about everything we do, especially now. When it started with positivity, well that's what we will be doing today. 1. Mash up challenges. Have you seen videos where people are linking up short clips where they are pretending to attack you? They are ending their videos where they are doing some striking attack then another person acts out like they were affected by the attack. Then they retaliate back with their own. It's actually a good video where you can challenge your friends to outdo what you have done. Not only that it requires people to do it, it is also entertaining when you watch you and your friends try to do each other. 2. Safe hands challenge. Have you seen celebrities and people washing their hands? celebrities do this to spread awareness on how to properly wash hands. And you just don't wash your hands, but it's a good setup where you can have a chat with your followers. Take this opportunity to let them know how important it is to keep yourself safe. Take the opportunity to let your followers know the importance of washing your hands. 3. Stay home challenge. Now it's time to learn new skills, perhaps a new instrument or a new philosophy. Use this time to challenge yourself, maybe your friends or your viewers to learn something during the quarantine period. 4. The 10 rip challenge. Your 10 rip challenge is the more of a physical nature. Imagine yourself in a gym and you do pushups. Maybe curl ups or maybe if you have equipment to do bench presses, make a video about it and put a spin in the last portions of your videos. Challenge people to do the same and to outdo you when you make the challenges. 5. Support front liners challenge. There is a video spiraling around the internet where people are expressing their gratitude and supporting our medical warriors in the front line. You can do the same. There is a video on the internet where medical staff are performing a short skit telling people to stay home. Staying home is a caring S kind of message. You can create your own challenge to support them. We're wondering now what kind of challenge you can create. 6. Cook off challenge. Here's a new kind of challenge you can do with your friends. You want to know who is the best in terms of creating food? Or better yet, why not do a tutorial video on how it's done to scramble eggs. Allah Gordon Ramsey style. So you made it this far. Congratulations. Do you want to know why these kinds of stories are successful or it goes viral? It's because it collaborates with other people. Collaboration is good for any content creator as it provides you with an avenue to get more subscribers and views on your videos.

I've spent the last five years traveling across Asia to those places that hold the world's last remaining tigers. I'm a conservation scientist and I've been trying to understand why conservation succeeds and why it fails. So I want to present to you two alternative future scenarios. One with and one without tigers and about what our role might be in determining those futures. Felly ydych chi'n ei wneud yn cyfath o'r cyffredin, sydd y tygaer byddai yn y gweithio'r ffordd. Felly, y tygaer y habitat, lle roedd yn gwneud yn ystod yn ymweld yma, mae'r bwyddiwch yn nid o'r 90% yn yr ysgol 100 oed. Mae'r ffordd o ffordd yn ymweld o'r 50,000 tygaer. Ond y hwn yn cyfyrdd y byd o'r tygaer yn ei ddweud ymweld yn y sgafodd i'r ffordd o'r ffordd. Yn rhan o'r ffordd o'r ysgol, I'r ddweud y bydd y cyfrifiad yn y swydd. Mae'r ddweud hynny wedi'i ysgrifennol ar gyfermodau. Mae'r ddweud yng Nghymru yn ymgyrch, yn ymgyrch ar gyfermodau, a'r ddweud ond mae'r ddweud yng Nghymru. Mae'r ddweud hynny yn ymgyrch, mae'r ddweud yn ymgyrch ar gyfermodau, ac rydyn ni'n gwybod eich bod ni'n gweithio, ac rydyn ni'n gweithio ar gyfermodau. Rydyn ni'n gweithio ar Cambodia. y mawr o'r cwntrwyr i South East Asia, sy'n 50% o'r llan yn ystod o'r ffordd. Mae'n gwybod bod yn ystod. Mae'n ystod o'r lastigau sydd wedi'i ffotograffu o'r cymddiad i Cambodia. Mae'r cymddiad yn y cwntrwy yn 2007. Y ddweud 1990, mae'r 100 cymddiad i'r cymddiad yn cymddiad i'r cymddiad. Mae'r cymddiad i'r cymddiad. Mae'r cymddiad i'r cymddiad i'r cymddiad, er nid o ffordd pethau a mu e'r cymddiad o'r cymddiad. Aisation untiud solied o ran hi ddim gweld Cwrs, mae'n ddechrau'n cael ei wneud. Rydyn ni'n ddim yn adnodd y rhan o'r ddaf, sy'n ddegleinio'r syniad, ac yn y gweithio y llwyaf ddegleddau sydd wedi'i adnodd ddegleddau'r rhan o'r ddegleddau ar y ddiweddodd teimlo yn gweithio gynnig. A'i rheshau yn y 1940, ddim yn ddim yn y 30-40 tygars. 40 tygars. Rhaid sy'n mynd i tygars yn y Llywodraeth yn y ddegledd cymaint gyda Carnetyca. But thanks to the efforts of a few dedicated physicists and policy makers, Tiger populations have subsequently increased some 10-fold over the following 60 years to an all-time high of about 500 tigers in the late 1990s. It wasn't rocket science, it involved complete ban on hunting and a strengthening of anti-poaching efforts. It also involved this national commitment to saving the tiger. For those countries where the tigers remain, securing their future is actually pretty simple. mae'r unrhyw o'r ddweud o'r cyfnod o'r hynod o'r dweud a'r hynny'n ddych chi'n gweithio'r cyfnod a'r ddych yn gyd yn gweithio'r ddweud Felly, mae'n ddweud ymddangos o'r cyflwyno ac yn enw i'r byddau a'r lleol A'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ysgrifennu A'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud a'r ddweud o'r ddweud o'r ddweud That means holding those decision-makers to account. In an increasingly materialistic world in which we live, it's also about making some basic choices. A choice to actually save the tiger. It's not enough to just assume that tigers are going to be okay. Our experiences in Cambodia shows that they're going to crash far quicker than they can recover. And why even save the tiger? Tigers represent the true diversity of our natural world across much of Asia. They occur in the frozen forests of the Russian Far East, the hot, humid forests of Lolan forests in Southeast Asia, the dry forests of Indochina that occur across much of India. They're a top predator. They need food. They need space. They represent all that's healthy about these natural forests and about what they provide, not just for the tigers, but for some 12 million people that also depend on these forests. Everybody here knows something about the tiger, right? Maybe you watch it on TV or you read about it in school. The tiger is actually part of our everyday life all across the world, be it the beer you drink, the bags you use, the planes you fly in, the books you read as kids, the sports teams you support and the religions you follow. Tigers are a potent symbol of everything we value, particularly here in Asia. So if we can't save a species that's universally known and appreciated, what does that say about us as a society? Saving tigers isn't rocket science. Ironically, we've actually mastered rocket science, so why can't we master saving the tiger? Ultimately, it's all about the choices you make. I'm an eternal optimist. You really have to be in conservation, believe me. I visit India maybe once a year and those visits for me are something like a tonic, a bit of a drug. This is the only tiger I have seen and photographed ever in five years of walking all over tiger countries in Asia. This was taken in Corbett National Park in India last year. For those of you who haven't experienced it, it's very hard to convey the first moment you see a wild tiger. It's a truly beautiful thing and it really convinces you right then and there that you absolutely always have to have a world with wild tigers in it. My lack of tiger sightings is something I get a lot of stick from from my colleagues, but it makes an important point. India holds almost half of the world's remaining wild tigers. In a country that's pushing 1 billion people with one of the fastest growing economic growth rates on the planet, India this year reported a slow but steady increase in its wild tiger population. Right, exactly. So India made a very bold choice back in the 1970s when Indira Gandhi committed to saving the tiger and launch Project Tiger. It hasn't always been a smooth road, but that gives me an awful lot of hope for a future for tigers across all of Asia. Thanks very much.


Item Number – SCP-049 Object Class – Euclid Special Containment Procedures – SCP-049 is contained within a standard secure humanoid containment cell in Research Sector 02 at Site-19. SCP-049 must be sedated before any attempts to transport it. SCP-049 must be secured within a Class III humanoid restriction harness, including a locking collar and extension restraints, and monitored by no fewer than two armed guards. While SCP-049 is generally cooperative with most Foundation personnel, outbursts or sudden changes in behavior are to be met with elevated force. Under no circumstances should any personnel come into direct contact with SCP-049 during these outbursts. In the event SCP-049 becomes aggressive, the application of lavender has been shown to produce a calming effect on the entity. Once calmed, SCP-049 generally becomes compliant and will return to containment with little resistance. In order to facilitate the ongoing containment of SCP-049, the entity is to be provided with the corpse of a recently deceased animal, typically a bovine or other large mammal, once every two weeks for study. Corpses that become instances of SCP-049-2 are to be removed from SCP-049's containment cell and incinerated. SCP-049 is no longer permitted to interact with human subjects, and requests for human subjects are to be denied. Temporary Containment Procedure Update Per Containment Committee Order 049.S19.17.1, SCP-049 is no longer permitted to interact directly with any members of Foundation staff, nor is it to be provided with any additional corpses to be used in its surgeries. This order shall persist indefinitely, until such time a consensus regarding the ongoing containment of SCP-049 can be reached. Description SCP-049 is a humanoid entity, roughly 1.9 meters in height, which bears the appearance of a medieval plague doctor. While SCP-049 appears to be wearing the thick robes and the ceramic mask indicative of that profession, the garments instead seem to have grown out of SCP-049's body over time. The robes and gloves are identical to a thick hide, built up on the skin while the mask is composed of a kind of chitin growing out of the bones of the face, and are now nearly indistinguishable from whatever form is beneath them. X-rays indicate that despite this, SCP-049 does have a humanoid skeletal structure beneath its outer layer. SCP-049 is capable of speech in a variety of languages, though tends to prefer English or medieval French. The entity claims to have originated in 15th century France, though admits that it is particularly well-traveled. While SCP-049 is generally cordial and cooperative with Foundation staff, it can become especially irritated or at times outright aggressive if it feels that it is in the presence of what it calls the pestilence. Although the exact nature of this pestilence is currently unknown to Foundation researchers, it does seem to be an issue of immense concern to SCP-049. SCP-049 will become hostile with individuals it sees as being affected by the pestilence, often having to be restrained should it encounter such. If left unchecked, SCP-049 will generally attempt to kill any such individual. SCP-049 is capable of causing all biological functions of an organism to cease through direct skin contact. How this occurs is currently unknown, and all top seas of SCP-049's victims have invariably been inconclusive.  The space within this bag is seemingly anomalously large, as SCP-049 has been observed pulling objects larger than the bag itself from within it in order to operate on deceased subjects. While these surgeries are not always successful, they often result in the creation of instances of SCP-049-2. SCP-049-2 instances are reanimated corpses that have been operated on by SCP-049. These instances do not seem to retain any of their prior memories or mental functions, having only basic motor skills and response mechanisms. While these instances are generally inactive, moving very little and in a generally ambulatory fashion, they can become extremely aggressive if provoked, or if directed to by SCP-049. SCP-049-2 instances express active biological functions, though these are vastly different from currently understood human physiology. Despite these alterations, SCP-049 often remarks that these subjects have been... Cured. Addendum 049.1 Discovery SCP-049 was discovered during the investigation of a series of unknown disappearances in the town of Montabon in southern France. During a raid on a local home, investigators found several instances of SCP-049-2, as well as SCP-049. While law enforcement personnel engaged the hostile 049-2 instances, SCP-049 was noted as watching the engagement and taking notes in its journal. After all of the 049-2 instances were dispatched, SCP-049 willingly entered Foundation custody. SCP-049 Upon Discovery The following interview was conducted by Dr. Raymond Hamm during the initial investigation. Interviewer, Dr. Raymond Hamm, Site-85, Interviewee, SCP-049. Begin log. Wherein is your speciality, sir? Cryptobiology? Why? A medical man, such as myself, wanders abound, and here I worried I had been abducted by common street thugs. This place, then, places your laboratory. I had wandered as clean as it is, and with such little trace of the pestilence here. The pestilence? What do you mean? The scourge? The great dying?  The pestilence? Yes. It abounds outside these walls, you know. So many have succumbed, and many more will continue to, until such time as a perfect cure can be developed. Fortunately, I am very close. It is my duty in life to rid the world of it, you see, the cure, to end all cures. When you will say the great dying, are you talking about the bubonic plague? I don't know what that is. Ah, I see, entities are agents countered at the house, they were dead when you encountered them. Yes, you reanimated them. In a manner of speaking, you see things too simply, doctor. Expand your horizons, life and death, sickness and health. These are amateur terms for amateur positions. There is only one ailment that exists in the world of men, and that is the pestilence, and nothing else. Make no mistake, they were very ill. All of them. You think you cured those people? Indeed. My cure is most effective. Well, the things we recovered were not human. Yes, well, it is not a perfect cure, but that will come with time, and further experimentation. I have spent a lifetime developing my methods, doctor Han, and will spend a lifetime more, if necessary, than too much time. There is work to acquire a laboratory of my own, one where I can continue my research unimpeded, and assistance, of course, though I can provide those on my own. In time, for all men of science, fetch your code and show me to my quarters, doctor. Our work begins now. End log. While SCP-049 is capable of communicating in a very human way, there is a strange sense of unease that one experiences when in its presence. Make no mistake, there is something very uncanny about this entity indeed. Additionally, we have confiscated that pointed stick that SCP-049 keeps waving around. Part of this was due to standard confiscation protocols for the possessions of anomalies, in part because 049 really is a menace swinging it around like he does. The entity was displeased at first, but after we made some concessions in providing it with test subjects, which are admittedly more for the benefit of our own research, it warmed up to the idea. Addendum 049.2. Observation log. While in containment at Site-19, SCP-049 has spent a considerable amount of time studying and performing surgery on the various mammalian corpses it has been provided. SCP-049 will routinely spend several days performing surgery, and then, regardless of whether or not the corpse becomes an instance of SCP-049-2, spending several more days documenting its findings in a thick leather journal stored within its doctor's bag, SCP-049 will often seek to share its findings with members of Foundation staff. Notably, SCP-049's journals are not written in any known language, and attempts by linguists and code breakers to decipher them have been unsuccessful. The following is a log of several occasions during which SCP-049 was observed operating on a mammalian corpse. Observation log 049.OL.1. Summary. Subject. SCP-049. Preface. A test subject. D-8-5-1-2-3 was introduced into SCP-049's containment cell. The entity expressed sincere gratitude towards all members of the containment and research staff. Observation notes. SCP-049 began by asking D-8-5-1-2-3 several standard medical questions as it began removing tools from its bag. Shortly after finishing its preparations, SCP-049 quickly closed the distance between the two. Leaving the subject with a touch to its throat. Afterwards, SCP-049 made a number of considerable alterations to the basic structure of the subject's corpse, often introducing fluids from within its bag into the subject by way of a hand-powered pump and copper tubing. The resulting 049-2 instance became animated, flailing and grasping at the walls of the chamber with a number of manufactured limbs while moaning out of an oblong orifice now present in its sternum. During this time, SCP-049 was observed taking notes of the instance in its journal and remarking to the watching research staff about the efficacy of its cure. Security personnel entered the chamber to move SCP-049 back to containment and were attacked by the instance. The security team dispatched the 049-2 instance, and SCP-049 returned to containment with no resistance, stating that it was pleased with the results. Journal log 049.OL.2 Summary Subject SCP-049 Preface SCP-049 was provided the corpse of a recently deceased goat. SCP-049 expressed gratitude to the provision. Observation notes SCP-049 operated on the goat corpse for several days, eventually resulting in an instance of SCP-049-2. SCP-049 expressed pleasure in this outcome, though admitted the disease was still in its nascent stage. My veterinarian practices rudimentary, but the patient responded well to the procedure. Observation log 049.OL.3 Summary Subject SCP-049 Preface SCP-049 was provided the corpse of a recently deceased orangutan. SCP-049 expressed noted gratitude at the provision due to the similarities between the orangutan and common human physiology. Observation notes SCP-049 spent several days operating on the orangutan, reanimating it several times. However, SCP-049 appeared to be discontent with the results it experienced, returning to the creature three times after its initial reanimation for additional work. After it was unable to reanimate the corpse a fifth time, SCP-049 turned the corpse over to Foundation staff for incineration, stating, I have learned so much from this. Though I fear my early optimism was misplaced, I hadn't yet come across such a stumbling block on my road to the cure. More subjects like this would do a great deal in advancing my research. Subject SCP-049 Preface SCP-049 was provided the corpse of a recently deceased bovine. SCP-049 expressed mild annoyance at the provision, though accepted it nonetheless. SCP-049 had stated its desire to work on human subjects several times between this occasion and the earlier provision of an orangutan, noting its discontentedness when they would not be provided. Observation Notes SCP-049 spent several days operating on the bovine corpse, breaking only to dine on a requested dinner of thin crackers, salted pork, and hard cheese. SCP-049 has expressed that it does not require sustenance, but enjoys it and feels that the food helps to put it in the right mind to operate. Beginning first by embalming the corpse, SCP-049 was observed producing a number of long syringes from its bag, each containing a different dark viscous fluid. SCP-049 described these fluids as essences of the humors, and elaborated by saying, the pestilence may bring about a systemic imbalance. In such a case, before true healing can begin, one must find the humors in balance, or the body will reject the cure. SCP-049 added to this statement by saying, this is, of course, elementary knowledge for the practical physician. I would have thought you would have learned this during your education. Over the next few days, SCP-049 spent a considerable amount of time adjusting the organs of the bovine corpse with a number of large metal instruments. After eight days, SCP-049 produced a lightning rod, which Dr. Ham exchanged for an electric cattle prod attached to an extension cord, and struck the corpse in several locations. This action seemingly had the effect of reanimating the bovine, which once again became ambulatory, despite the inversion of the head and reorientation of its limbs. Follow-up interview. Begin log. We've watched you work for several weeks now, and, honestly, I'm not sure I understand what you're doing. Could you describe your process in detail? Oh, goodness, no, the process is most intensive, as I said to your assistant. The best instruction you will find about my methods are here, in my journals, as I have kept exhaustive records of my work there. See, where am I concerned, Doctor, is that we still don't understand what you're seeking to cure, how it manifests, or how turning these creatures into quasi-living mindless drones helps in that effort. You do not understand the pestilence, even after all this time. Doctor, it is an unspeakable horror, one that has shown its true face many times before, and, well, again, I find myself blessed with the wisdom and good senses needed to root it out and destroy it, but many, like yourself, cannot. It is a cruel judgment, my fear, to be at the mercy of a disease you cannot fully comprehend. That still doesn't answer my question. How shall cure any kind of cure at all? It is a cure. You may laugh at my efforts, if you please, but do not besmirch the good name of scientific progress that has developed this great mercy. What you short-sightedly see here is a life better than any this creature could have hoped for. Striggan as it was with the pestilence, this creature is now clean, unable to spread the pestilence, and free from the terror it would have experienced otherwise. This is hardly a creature at all, Doctor. It's not even... Do not jade with me, sir. You and your colleagues are like so many others, unable to look past minus setbacks to see the salvation taking place before your very eyes. Do you wait to remove rotten timbers until the hawk collapses on top of you? No. You find them, and you pull them out and replace them with those untouched by rot, and most of all, you do not simply mock the structure because it now looks different to you. It is strong. It is free of disease. I'm sorry. It didn't mean to agitate you. I'm just trying to understand. Yes. Well, do you mind your words in the future, Doctor? I am a professional, but even professionals may feel the bite of pride in dealing with criticism of their masterpiece. I will forgive this as an act of good faith between colleagues. Is there anything else I can help you with? No, another test subject on the usual schedule. You know my preference of subjects with more human anatomies. And log. Attending researchers note, SCP-049 does seem to genuinely want to help other humans, though it has not yet been able to provide a concrete example of what exactly it is trying to save us all from. I have watched it now over several weeks. And while the outcomes do not seem to ever change, SCP-049 continues to claim that it is growing closer to its perfect cure. I think the entity may be more aware of the reality of these outcomes than it would like us to think. Addendum 049.3, 04, 16, 2017 incident, starting shortly after SCP-049's initial containment, Dr. Ham conducted a number of interviews with the subject regarding its anomalous properties and over time began to note its displeasure with its subjects and the SCP-049-2 instances. This continued for a period of several months, during which SCP-049 never exhibited any aggressive behaviors. On April 16, 2017, as Dr. Ham was entering SCP-049's test chamber to conduct another routine interview, the entity began to grow anxious and asked Dr. Ham if he was feeling well. Following protocol, Dr. Ham reminded SCP-049 that the interview was required, after which the entity became hostile and attacked Dr. Ham, killing him. Due to a lapse in security protocol, and because Dr. Ham did not activate the in-chamber emergency system, Dr. Ham's corpse was not discovered until three hours later, by which point SCP-049 had converted it into an instance of SCP-049-2. In the aftermath of this incident, SCP-049 was interviewed by Dr. Theron Sherman. Interviewer, Dr. Theron Sherman, Site 42, Interviewee, SCP-049. Begin log. Due to explain yourself, SCP-049, you are being directed to explain your actions, and I will remind you that failure to cooperate will result in further restrictions during your containment. My actions do not need to be explained. You killed Raymond Ham, and then butchered him until he... Not dead. Cured? Cured of what? I had thought you, at least, would realize what luck it is. I detected it before. What pestilence? You keep going on and on about this pestilence, but you have not once been able to properly identify this disease. What could you have possibly seen in him today that you had not seen so many times before, that it would be worth his life? This presents certain progressives in unforeseeable fashions, and has a clear way of creeping into the unprepared, but of what you want. It's a mercy I did to him. You and your... your ilk men of science, of emotion. You cannot appreciate the horrors I've seen. Those many millions who have succumbed to the pestilence have been changed.  No, if saved it, you would allow this world to slip back into the despair of disease. What disease? What pestilence? Short-sighted and foolish. Anyone who can do this, my work must continue. There is still so much to learn, so much. Once and for all, I saved him. I know he was. You are all sick, but I... And log. Addendum 049.4. Post-incident report interview. The following interview is an excerpt from the 4-16-17-049 incident report. The interview was conducted by Dr. Elijah Itkin and took place three weeks after the start of the initial investigation. Date. 5717. Interviewer. Dr. Elijah Itkin. Interviewee. SCP-049. Begin log. Rule 4-9, we are conducting this interview to close out our investigation of your actions taken on April 16th that resulted in the death of a staff member. Do you have any comments to make? Only that I look forward to the day when you will allow me to resume my work. I have spent the last few weeks compiling my notes and instructing a new theory of how the pestilence was able to infect someone in such an insidious manner that I nearly couldn't be remorse for your actions for the death of Dr. Elijah Itkin and noted in his report that you seemed to be mourned for during your initial interview. Born is of little use on death. My desires turn towards tending to those still living who suffer from the disease. I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed. End log. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-048, the cursed SCP number right now or for the complete course. Watch this playlist.


Meanwhile, Tinnubu has boasted that he will take over the presidency in 2023, bison party-fateful to turn deaf ears to false rumors about President Buhari and the APC. He was speaking when he commissioned the Karno APC campaign office alongside his running mate, Kashim Shatima. This office will be filled with joys from February 2023. Don't, trust me, doesn't know the weight of history, doesn't understand the success of the nation. Lie to you about Buhari or anybody. Okay, throw it back at them. Take your room, family, and sweep, my Buhari family. No matter what name, we elect only when the party is done and gets. So, we have 32 states, 12 for us today, out of the six. We have no reason whatsoever. We have no excuses whatsoever for us not to deliver our presence. Thank you. The governor of Karno state, Abdelahi Umar Ganduje, a short Tinnubu that APC has a huge number of the national and state assembly members. Therefore, seeking re-election should be delivered by the party. We are defining 95% members of our national assembly. For most of the members of the national assembly are also candidates of the national assembly. We have 24 of them, and we have over 20 who are coming back. We have 40 members of the state assembly, and we are defining most of them.


We got him we got the rat two weeks took two weeks, but we got him Hopefully he doesn't have friends at the end of the day. He couldn't resist the maple syrup It's a two-fer It's a two-fer a big one and a little one in the same trap. How you like me now? Now I just got to get him out of here Got the mirror got the mirror. All right buzzing my head for the first time ever solo. Oh boy. Oh boy Why am I doing it the race on Saturday out in Utah? It's gonna be hot. You know, it's gonna be hot I like to attempt as best as possible to manage the heat and There's no real humidity out there, which is awesome But I don't like the short of the hair in my mind and maybe this is a mental game as well The the cooler my head will stay and therefore the cooler. I will feel capiche capiche. Let's go Now how do I get the back? Oh boy Save money and time. It's not bad. Not bad folks. Okay question of the day How does the back look because I can't see it? Probably need to touch up later true love just putting that out there time to back Hello. Hello. Good evening time for bed almost. Okay, so One of my goals in 2018 as far as running goes and listen folks I know we're talking a lot about running, but hey, this is what I love to do one of the things I love to do and I appreciate you guys, you know caring and coming along the ride with the GoPro and commenting and following on Strava and things are happening and good things are happening and drama is happening whether we want it to happen or not like falling at the end of a race or Something happened on Saturday last Saturday. Basically. It was a two lap course So we did the same loop twice and I was in the third place Third and fourth place on the first loop But it looked like that first and second actually took a wrong turn So they were disqualified They were disqualified and obviously you can't do that and it's just like you know if you hit a three-point shot when the buzzer goes off in an NBA basketball game, but You stepped out of bounds a half a second before that. Well, yeah, you stepped out of bounds So the shot doesn't count, you know what?  That's toward the top. I guarantee has probably gotten lost I'm not I'm not exaggerating like courses are tough And I have learned through my own mistakes of getting lost last year at the Backcountry half marathon like that was a big lesson learned and so anyway Steven is a tough racer tough runner he is fast and He took first but they key in second place At that time at that point in the race took a wrong turn Anyway, so they were they were disqualified and so I get the W And that's that's fine and that's exciting But it doesn't diminish my motivation to really really win a race in 2018 moving forward Because I want to you know, basically win it outright with but you know, it is you know, it is what it is I know that's a cliche saying but like you can't go back and rewrite the books So anyway, that's what happened in the race. There was a disqualification and that's it happens man It just happens and it stinks. I've been there. I've been there Steven. All right, folks. We're going to bed. I'm packing up I'm going to the airport in the morning going to Utah and we love you guys. Love you guys. Love you guys. Love you guys See beauty work hard. Love each other. See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow


We send our condolences to each and every one of you as we mourn the days in the lead up to the death anniversary, the murder anniversary of our dear master, the son of our first Imam Hussain, and indeed his dear children and his family in the land, in the holy land of Karbala and we extend our condolences to our dear awaited saviour and may Allah hasten his reappearance. Throughout these days we are bringing you the opportunity to learn from the Masaib of Karbala, not just to take part in the Masaib but to actually learn from it so in these nights where you are attending the Majalis, wherever you are in the world, you are connecting just that little bit more rather than just on a very surface level type basis. And for these first five nights we've decided to dedicate them towards the women and children of Aba Abdullah who involve, usually we remember them for the Masaib that came after for them. No doubt there is no lesser of a Masaib compared to this but it's something that we wanted to look at how they were during these days and to ensure that we do not neglect them. Insha'Allah with my dear brother Ali Fahla with me tonight we are going to remember the princess and the queen, Sayyid Zaynab, alaihi salam. Yes, alaihi salam, my dear viewers as well. Yes, Sayyid Zaynab, there is a lot that can be said about the tragedy of Sayyid Zaynab, about what you can learn from Sayyid Zaynab, the lessons, the patience, the fact that we mentioned in previous episodes about Sayyid al-Qaia and how she assumed leadership. Sayyid Zaynab, she had that leadership right from the beginning, it's not something that fell into her hands, she took it upon her to be a leader in those difficult times, knowing that she was leading herself with the Mahusayn As-Salam, knowing that she had to sacrifice everything that she had, knowing that she will see all of the calamities but this is the patience that she had and the submission that you also mentioned in previous episodes, the total submission to Allah's will and the total submission to the fact that Imam Hussain As-Salam had a message to spread and she was 100% behind that message to sacrifice everything that she had and to see the sacrifice in front of her. And furthermore, to call everything beautiful right at the end is testament to a character of Sayyid Zaynab. No doubt that leadership came from her father, Ali Ibn Abi As-Salam, we talk about role models and we use her as a role model and she didn't have to look very far for her own role model, role model and that was the purity of that family. One thing that we wanted to, as Ali just mentioned, that we wanted to look at was how did or one of the ways perhaps in which Sayyid Zaynab managed to deal with the calamities that fell upon her and one of the titles that's given to her is Umm al-Musayib, a very famous title, the mother of tragedies, the mother of Musayib and this title that is given isn't just given as a result of what happened in Karbala, it's what happened previously as well. It's the amalgamation of all these different episodes she had to witness, recover from and go again and this was the murder and demise of her father, Ali Ibn Abi Al-Talim, the murder and demise of her mother, Fatimah Zahra As-Salamu Alayhi, the murder and demise of her brother, Imam Al-Hassan and note I'm always using this word murder and it's a tragic murder each and every time. It's something that we dedicate two, three nights to Inshallah Ramallah, for Fatimah, three different narrations for five nights, whatever it may be, Fatimah Al-Hassan, we have the night and the day, Fatimah Al-Hassan and then of course Ashra and she had to witness every single one of these and hence being known as Umm al-Musayib is no surprise when you understand this kind of background. So what we wanted to very briefly try and do is to understand perhaps one of the ways in which she managed to deal with this constant witnessing of death and murder yet managed to recover and recover and recover and one of the notions that we taught is this and this is that in Quran Allah SWT in Surah Mulk says Tabab Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem Tabarak al-Ladhi biyadihi al-Mulkuhu wa hu ala kulli shay'in qadir but it's the second line where he says The verses al-Mulk and then al-Hayat, it's death and then life.  Allah SWT is telling us that whilst we as humans perceive we are born and hence life and then we die hence death the actual transmission from stage one to stage four is we are dead he breathes a soul into us we're living then we're dead again the dead of the dunya and then we're rebirth we're born again into akhira it's death life death life hence Allah says al-Mu't wa al-Hayat and this in itself needs to teach us a very significant lesson in that this death that we know it is should not be seen as the end of a journey should not be seen as okay oh no Sardik has passed away that's the end of his life he'll never have the opportunity to do XYZ he'll never see his mother again rather it should be seen that ah this individual has died yes but is now on his journey towards Allah SWT there's a very famous poet Shaheed Shaheed murdered in Pakistan Sibtej Afar a very famous Pakistani poet who wrote in the language of Urdu and he has a verse where he beautifully says that when I die a paraphrasing when I die don't see this as my death see this when you're dressing me in my coffin and you're washing me that you're preparing me for my visit to Allah SWT and the Ahlul Bayt and perhaps this is how say the Zaynab was taught on how to see death to see it as the start of the new life but we should still not forget again and we always reiterate they were humans and this feeling that she had to view the death of her mother her father her brother her brother another brother and another brother her sons her nephews and then her niece in the dungeon uman masayih yeah not sure even like we were mentioning a couple of nights ago as well and it's actually quite interesting because she says obituary you have and you have torn torn my heart into pieces and but what she specifically says yeah I'm not sure if I got the Arabic right but basically you've broken the tendons or the the almost the arteries and veins and the veins within within my heart and scientifically I think recently there's been a there's been a publication where where someone can actually rip hearts tendons heart muscles within the heart through grief so you know you mentioned umal baneen and how she says that you've broken my heart but what did what kind of heart did mosaib have say the Zaynab for her to be able to see from what you were saying exactly well mama alaihi salam Fatim Zalam and Hussain Abul Abbas and all the companions that she held there as well the poem written by herself as well Sadak says my heart has broken into pieces where does each piece reside will I ever get a peaceful moment before my soul flies my heart is broken into pieces where does each piece reside will I ever get a peaceful moment before my soul flies before my soul flies one segment lives in my hometown drowning in sorrow it recalls the heat from the door and the loss of an unborn it feels the collapse of the door on the purest lady it resides in that secret grave with the blessed broken rip but that peace feels peace as my mother says I'm with you oh Zaynab I'm with you oh Zaynab will I ever will I ever get a peaceful moment before my soul flies before my soul flies one segment lives in the city where a king lays with profits it recalls the strike on a prostrate's head and days of poison it feels the hunger of orphans who lost their own father too it resides in a grave with a man who wished he could protect his son but that peace feels peace as my father says but that's peace feels peace as my father says I'm with you I'm with Zaynab one segment lives in the coffin it recalls the regurgitation of a poison liver it feels the funeral procession going and then return it resides in a grave don't miss which is cannot be shit but that peace feels peace as my brother says I'm with you oh Zaynab but that's peace feels peace as my brother says I'm with you oh Zaynab one segment lives in the two beds which house my own two sons it recalls the scent and the first words of two young innocence it feels the embrace of the small hands which work out into shreds it resides in a house which no longer is full of laughter and joy but that peace feels peace when my two sons say we're with you one segment lives it recalls the flying flag until the water was no more it feels a heart shattered due to the cries of the children it resides in the hands which are no longer protecting our veils but that peace feels peace when my brother says I'm with you oh Zaynab I'm with Zaynab one segment lives next to the chest on the hot blood stains and it recalls the kiss upon the neck which I cannot describe it feels the call of hell in which a code across the land it resides in heaven and the earth with 20 million around but that peace feels peace when my brother says I'm with you I'm with you one segment lives in the dungeon where a girl cry it recalls the sleep that's never stopped upon seeing that's how it feels the first ever it feels the first of a who gave to her brother first it resides nearby in that's only it resides nearby in that lonely shrine where nobody visits but that peace feels peace when my dear he says I'm with you oh auntie I'm with you oh auntie even after my death there's still no peace whilst wars wage around I reside here snow visitors but if my brother Jose then simply as for him I was just a supporter protecting the army what the writer says peace upon Zaynab you were a vital piece you were a vital piece my heart has been broken into pieces where does each piece reside will I will I ever get a peaceful moment before my soul flies miss up before my soul flies and this notion of say the Zaynab's heart being shattered into different pieces across the world and left there to reside resonates to just how the major list of about Abdullah has scattered across the whole world we said in the first night posters coming up of Majalis in South Africa in Australia in almost every single country now it's like oh wow you know that there's another major list there and one thing we must send our appreciation to say the Zaynab for is for initiating being amongst the initiators of the major list of him I'm saying for being amongst the initiators of the poetry the lamentation the Azar and the remembrance of him for sure but I guess one point to take is to understand this this this concept of establishing a major list and what it actually resembles I think on the surface we see it as okay we hold the Emma very dear to us and we hold a major list in their remembrance but is there a bit more to it and to take it very simply if we take someone in our own family that's passed away when you gather for what people may call that father Harkhani or the the time where the relatives and the friends will gather and I'll recite father had or recite Quran usually they also speak about that person they'll say he was a great man he used to do XYZ use you know he was one person in the community that would give and sponsor you know children's programs without hesitation because he really saw the value of bringing up the next community and you revive his message you revive what he stood for as a man and the same notion is with Majlis but it goes a step further for with the majlis of Aba Abdullah we are reviving this message of Aba Abdullah we take the time money and efforts the sleepless nights the quick journeys back from home to come to the centres and to really ensure that we hold a moment in our life in our week in our day for an hour or two to revive his message and when we remember what his message was what what when we remember what his message was as a divine leader as an Imam chosen by Allah we remember that we are simply reviving the message of Allah the Dean of Allah and I feel it's very important not to separate the two it shouldn't be that a majlis is in remembrance of Aba Abdullah and on the other side we go to Madrasa to learn about religion no these are for certain overlapped they go hand in hand there is no point in remembering and crying for Imam al-Hussain if you don't take one ounce of knowledge about the religion from it because his opponents were exactly that people who followed the religion of Islam but took nothing away from it so what I'm trying to say is this when you hold a majlis in remembrance of Aba Abdullah know that you are actually reviving his message and by reviving his message you are reviving the true message and the true Dean of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala and this is where the correlation in Quran then comes in where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala says Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem that's it and whoever holds in honor of the Sha'a of the symbols of Allah verily for surely they reflect the piety of the heart so by holding the Sha'a or the rituals the remembrance of Aba Abdullah you're not just doing it for him that's level one and by no means enough you're doing it and you're proclaiming that you are reviving the message in the Dean of Allah so for tonight or tomorrow when your next majlis that you attend is when your hand reaches your chest yes try and feel an element of pain that perhaps the companions in Imam Hussain went through but try and resemble that moment that hand hits your chest that that is another beat for you to say you know what thank you Imam for reviving and keeping this message alive for me this Dean of Allah alive for me because this Shari'a that Allah has dictated is one that will help me become an incredible human being one that's remembered within humanity for serving you Allah and let that be a conviction each time that it touches your chest this is the Majlis of Aba Abdullah this is really the essence of it and it stems from Sayyid Zaynab it stems from that lady who in that might of Shah Maghalib would run between tent to tent as you said accumulated that leadership that Imam Hussain and Abu Fadr really held before they passed and she was the support but she then became the focal point people would come to her and ask what do we do in this situation she gathered the children went to fire of the tent started she was ensuring everyone was okay taking the numbers of the children of Imam Hussain this was the efforts in the leadership of Sayyid Zaynab even while seeing the burning tents and we spoke about the tragedies that she saw before no doubt when you remember one tragedy if it links to another it causes that connection and the burning of a house her house at that point of a tent with the correlation of the burning of a house of her mother I have no idea how that didn't cause her to break down at that moment and you know stop her from carrying on yeah it is just mentioning the tents and mentioning the fire and Shah Maghalib I'm sure that every single person here feels the same after the ashura and the the electrifying atmosphere and and the recitation of the Maqtel and then it's reaching the pinnacle of the actual moments where Imam Hussain was martyred and beheaded and then you get that and then of course straight after that is the is the heat and the moment of the burning of the tents and the running from from 10 to 10 and the children and then you have the Shah Maghalib on where everything is just solemn that you have this really heavy heavy feeling in your heart knowing that this this night is the first night of absolute calamities for Sayyid Zaynab so a last piece before we bring this this episode inshallah to a close standing in the burning tents I watch as the ashes fall they turn into memories and then towards me they crawl standing in the burning tents I watch as the ashes fall they turn into memories and then towards me they crawl they show me things that hurt side things I don't want to recall a sword striking a father a rip crushed against the wall the fire draws me pictures I cry with smoke in my lungs grandfather or Muhammad by the sword of Sakif your grandson's blood has been shed just like Honein and Ahud your funeral they all flay it but there's no funeral here Hossein's chest is crushed instead I watch the fire and smoke sweep Hossein's tents off the sands the only hands to help me are Abbas's severed hands by fire my veil burns and my mother understands holding a rip that's broken beside me Fatima stands for whom do Layla's tears flow that can't be the bigger that fallen body looks like Muhammad my grandfather Layla I know you're confused when I saw his head shatter and it was struck my eyes so the head of Ali had a fire a fire a fire surrounds you for what but you look at the candle a flame extinguished early so young and so beautiful when I saw as him struck I saw his father smile when his body they would drag as him Hasan would cut the witness and come closer towards my side when we witness her brother a side that makes the Sun high is that really his body what's outside and what's inside how much it hurts these sisters to see his massacred pride the fire draws me pictures the fire draws me pictures many thanks to the poets Noori Saldar and I believe that we bring to an end this episode remembering Say the same and we leave you with one hadith inshallah from our holy 8th Imam the King of Mashhad and one of the great-grandsons of Imam Hussein where he says truly the day of Hussein alaihi salam wounded our eyelids shed our tears humiliated our revered one in the land of Kerb meaning anguish and affliction and you O land of Kerbala have left us with anguish and affliction until the last day of his life so for the likes of Hussein's weepers they should weep for crying and weeping destroys the great sins and with that we leave you for this night as we get closer to the day of ashura ensure that when you enter the Majlis you remember what it is for what it symbolizes ensure that you hold a level of a level of somber during the Majlis so those tears could be meaningful and as the mama Reba alaihi salam says so that they can help in extinguishing the great sins was salamu alaykum

Are IELTS and TOEFL? IELTS stands for International English Language Testing System. TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language. They are two main English language tests in the world. IELTS is a United Kingdom and Commonwealth based test and TOEFL is US based. What do they involve? Both IELTS and TOEFL test non-native speakers for proficiency in the English language. They assess test takers skills in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. IELTS offers two test options, an academic test and a general training test. The general training test is aimed at immigrants and those seeking work abroad. TOEFL tests are mostly aimed at non-native English speakers wanting to study at US universities. TOEFL also offers a junior TOEFL test for middle school children. Why do people need to take IELTS or TOEFL tests? The tests are used to assess English language proficiency for a number of reasons. Universities in English speaking countries require international students to have a certain score. Many countries now require new immigrants to demonstrate sufficient proficiency in the English language. Companies may require potential employees to possess a certain level of fluency in English. What job opportunities are there? The number of people who are looking to live, work, or study in English speaking countries increases every year and as a result the demand for IELTS and TOEFL test preparation is always growing. Many language schools offer test preparation courses for students heading to universities around the world. There is also a high demand for private tutoring and tutoring part-time is a great way to supplement your income. What resources are available for tutors? The official websites for both IELTS and TOEFL organizations offer a wide range of complementary and paid-for resources to help tutors prepare their students. Many bookshops sell resources such as old tests and strategy guides for students studying alone. These are also a great resource for teachers. Any language center offering preparation courses should have all the resources needed and there are plenty of others freely available online.


Hello, our private property family, Rupert Ilea Mulrani. Good evening and welcome to the show. For our new friends who are probably thinking they are in the wrong podcast, don't worry, you are not lost. For those who know me, of course, my name is Martha Shingange, and I'm one of the top 10 gang members who keep the private property streets very busy with our comments and our questions. It really is only such a pleasure for me to guest host the show. As you know, Zama is getting some education, so she's away on Thursdays, and we are really looking forward to her coming back with some of the learnings. And of course she's preparing herself to make some boss moves.  I know my crew on Facebook are doing the most. I was on YouTube last night for the podcast to see how things are going on that side of the neighborhood. It was rather too quiet until I learned that everyone is now gathering here on Facebook. And of course it's because of the competition that we have going on. And of course we're also on Instagram, so whichever platform you are connecting from this evening, welcome, welcome. Now, fam, as you know, that private property brings us great shows every weekday at seven or 12, and again at 8 p.m. So if you are in the market for a new property, or you just want to admire some of the most beautiful and luxurious properties in South Africa, you can catch the home buyer's show with Chad on Mondays and Fridays right after this podcast. And for those with green fingers or are interested in agriculture and farming, Bali is on your screens on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You will never know. You might just start your own veggie garden with six garlic plants like I did. Yeah, there's only just six of them. Small beginnings, fam. Small beginnings. And of course if you need some inspiration or want to hear how others have started on their property investment journeys, the first time home buyer's show is on Wednesdays with AST.

And this evening, the money bag is back at 500 rents after Seleni, who is one of the top fans, took the price of 1,500 rents last night. So do stay tuned because we will be revealing tonight's winner a bit later in the show. Remember, you have to be watching the podcast live to claim your prize. Now, first things first, let's take some valuable notes. I know I'm ready with my notebook and my pen ready for this evening's show. Now, this evening, our guest is Leanne Harrison and she is the portfolio manager at RPA Property Administrators. And of course, we're talking about managing agents in community schemes. This topic, honestly, is really something that is very close to my heart because my smalling and a portfolio of properties are all sitting in sectional titles. So I really am looking forward to this. So welcome, Leanne. Welcome to the show. Thank you so much, Martha. I'm happy to be here. I really appreciate it. Hey, staff, how are you doing this evening? Very well. Thank you. And yourself? I'm awesome. I'm awesome. Thank you so much for really taking the time to be with us to talk about the issue of managing agents. I mean, they are the group, if you can call them, the group that holds the body corporates together, right? Yeah, I think as we were speaking earlier, you know, a lot of the times owners and trustees don't know what we do, actually do behind the scenes. So this is about creating awareness as to, you know, what a day in the life of a managing agent, you know, what we do every day, what you don't see us doing. And to realize that we don't only manage one scheme, we manage a portfolio generally. Yeah, absolutely. So yeah, I'm excited about it. So let's really just find out what value you are actually bringing before we get to that end. I think maybe let's start with a little bit of education because you have your sectional title schemes and you also have your home owners association, right? So can we just explain to us as to what are these two different schemes and how are they different from each other? Thanks, Martha. So the biggest difference and the most sort of common difference is a sectional title scheme is your complex where there's different units on, you know, either individually or top of each other in a building. And your home owners association is where it's an individual urban and usually a small estate or the like. That's a massive difference. And the other big difference is what they are, the legislation or the rules they are bound by. The sectional title scheme is bound by the sectional title scheme management act and other legislation. And then your home owners association is bound by the constitution that they incorporate when the home owners association gets created. So those are the major differences when it comes to the two. And I think a lot of the times that does the lines get blurred a bit because you'll find someone whose own sectional title or purchase in an HLA and they would think that the same rules apply when they were living in a sectional title scheme and isn't the case. So whenever I always say, whenever you're purchasing in either always look to see, you know, what rules apply because for me that's probably the biggest difference. It's generally very different, sometimes the same but there's always different rules applicable. Okay, great for that explanation. So you are looking at an estate, right? Where you might have different complexes. So those are now sectional title schemes but in the bigger scheme of things, if my understanding is correct, you can also then all of those schemes, the smaller ones, the smaller complexes, they now form what you would then call the home owners association, right? That manages the entire estate. So you call that probably a property owners association. So there'll be five or six schemes within a PRA, a property owners association. And then you look at the role of the property owners association, which is just to manage the common area for those body corporates. And within those body corporates, then you have specific rules that apply to the specific body corporate itself. So definitely very common as well, you get bigger estates where you've got smaller body corporates inside. You also get estates where it's body corporates and they've got individual urban as well within that PRA as well. I think that sums it up quite nicely. Let me take a bit of time just to say a few shout outs to some of our fans. I can see we've got Michelle Volmerans. I've seen happiness, Martina Manoleca. I see in learning Kuta. So it's really quite hitting up there in the comment section. All of our fans are really just having a great time interacting and sending a lot of love. They're sending us green hearts and just welcoming you as well to the show. So now that we understand the structures that actually exist in these properties, can we delve into the roles of the managing agent, which is probably the biggest part of our discussion this evening? Yes, thank you, Martha. So I like to split it up into three categories, mainly administrative, financial and compliance. And generally when we're dealing with trustees they only really see the administrative side. Behind the scenes, it's the financial aspect and then also the compliance aspect, which is very important because behind the scenes, we're the ones that are ensuring that the body corporate or the HRA is compliant with all legislation, any other regulations that they are bound by, even their own rules. So I like to break it up into those three categories. And that's quite important because you play a very important role when it comes to supporting the body corporate because there's quite a lot of rules that govern how sectional titles are ran and all of that. So maybe can you just get into what probably happens on a day-to-day basis? The behind the scenes, like you're saying, it's quite administratively heavy. I know I am a chairperson of the trustees body corporate. So I know there's quite a lot of like the invoices that are coming in every now and then. Please approve this, please approve that. Someone has beaten, someone's dog has beaten somebody. And a whole lot of things of those were even bombarded with things that you're not even sure whether that is actually your responsibility. What goes on behind the scenes?  So I get to work generally before we start. So I can get a handle on my emails, especially because a lot of the times, a lot of our queries on the administrative side is via email from our owners, trustees, contractors, other service providers. So, you know, we've got to manage that and prioritize what's important on a daily basis. You know, I had a site inspection this morning at nine o'clock with a security company. So on that aspect, I'm managing the service provider. You know, there was site inspection to see, you know, where are the gaps in the security? So as a managing agent or a portfolio manager for the specific body corporate, my job is to ensure that the security is functioning correctly at any site at any given time. So we had a meeting with the security because we had a few concerns. So that's one aspect. We then discussed the financial aspect. So in this instance, we looked at, you know, what are you paying us? What are we paying you every month and what value can you add? So in that way, I'm helping the body corporate manage their funds as well. And that way also ties in with their budget. So on any given day, any given month, you know, us as managing agents have to ensure that the budget that we prepare for the body corporate is being utilized correctly. We're collecting levies, so then paying service providers and contractors, that's one aspect. And I got back to the office and then you have the owner or trustee queries. And it can be anything from, you know, levy queries if the owner is querying interest charged or the, again, there's an issue with the rule, infringement of the conduct rules. Then my job is to ensure that whatever rule is being breached, I advise the trustees thereof, they instruct me as to what we should do. I first advise them that, okay, let's say for instance, refuse is being disposed of incorrectly. I tell the trustees, they instruct me to send out a warning letter or issue a fine whenever the rules may state.  So I had to review some financial statements. So in that way, when I'm looking at the budget, the next aspect is looking at the financial statements, seeing at their time with the budget, advising trustees why they are variances. We budgeted 5,000 grand for cleaning, but we spent 10,000. I have to answer to them as to why we spend so much. Why is there a variance? What the reason for that was. And as a good portfolio manager or managing agent, you should be able to tell your trustees and your owners why there's a variance, why we spent for money on X, Y and Z. So there's another financial asset we have to deal with. On the other side, we're dealing with compliance. So making sure that the body corporate is compliant in terms of any income tax regulations, any tax we have to pay, any compliance with insurance, making sure the body corporate is insured correctly. We deal with the brokers on that aspect. So that's definitely a typical day. Everything is mostly behind the scenes and we deal with our trustees and owners once or twice, but the race is purely behind the scenes. Wow, it sounds like a very, very busy day and you're probably a hundred in one because it's compliance, it's administrative. I'm really interested in what qualifications would one need to be a portfolio manager because you are just doing a whole lot of things. And obviously you need to know your way around the relevant rules, the legal aspect of things because you've got the important role of actually advising the body corporate, which is quite huge because now the body corporate is actually relying on you to ensure that they are doing things the right way. So that is quite hectic. But before we continue, Leanne, we have to go for a short break because we need to reveal tonight's winner of the 500 Reals cash prize. I know our random picker is on now and this evening we are saying congratulations to, let's find out who is walking away with the 500 Reals this evening. Who is it going to be? Is someone going to take it? Is it going to be a roll over? Let's find out. And the winner is Zintle Lirato Molo. You have until the end of the show to raise your hand and claim the prize. Congratulations, Zintle Lirato. Guys, please combine Zintle Lirato with love until she reveals herself on the comment section. Well done and congratulations. Now, Leanne, let's get back to it. We were just talking about the role that you play as a managing agent. Now, let's look at how should body corporates or trustees oversee the work that a managing agent does to make sure that they have put all their aspects covered to make sure that you are actually doing the right thing. What should we be looking out for? Thank you, Martha. So generally what I like to start off with is always work back with your management agreement you have with the body with the managing agent to see what the actual mandate is. A lot of the times the managing agent has a specific role to play and the management agreement will then prescribe those functions. And I think it's important for trustees when they take over as trustee or they become a trustee of a body corporate to understand that they take on a massive responsibility. So if I do show you duty in terms of applicable legislation and it's not only about letting the managing agent just run wild and make all the rules and enforce the rules, it's about it's a collaborative process whereby we work together on a daily basis or whatever the case may be, we have trustee meetings. I need to tell you that, okay, the rules say X how do you think we should go about it? Or we've received three quotations for the replacement of a gate. Who do you think is the best service provider? I mean, from my experience, I can tell you that contractor A, I've worked with them quite a bit. Maybe you work with contractor B and it's about working together to find solutions for the body corporate so that they can run properly. The managing agent's role sometimes is a bit more labor intensive but that is why you appoint us for that position and you pay us a monthly fee so we can advise you correctly. But when I say that I also state that trustees should make sure that when they're taking on this responsibility they know exactly what's going into it. They should be able to understand that when we submit financial statements, don't just sign them because you're signing something and if you don't understand what you're signing you shouldn't be signing it. So it's important that you have a good relationship with your managing agent in terms of all the functions they and all the roles they fulfill that you have an understanding as well because ultimately you're answering to the owners because you are appointed by the owners to manage it along with the managing agent. And I think that's quite important that at the end of the day body corporates are actually or rather the trustees are accountable to the body corporate. So it's also important that they rather the body corporate ensures that they have appointed people who have some kind of a skill because you need to know what are the things that you should be looking out for probably some basic financial management corporate governance because it all just really comes together at the end of the day. So now how do we, what must we look out for in terms of getting a good managing agent? So now we just want to appoint a new managing agent what are some of those key things that we should look out for? If the body corporate or H&A is looking at appointing a managing agent or looking at changing managing agents it's always important to highlight what do you think you are lacking in a managing agent or what you feel that is not isn't happening for you and then make sure that that is what you advise a new managing agent. But for me look out for a company that good references a good portfolio manager generally isn't overloaded with too many buildings. So for me it's about 15 to 25 buildings. If you go over 25 buildings as a managing agent or portfolio manager managed in 25 it becomes a conveyor belt situation where we're not actually providing a service or we're not adding value. And generally cost is always an issue because at the end of the day how much can the body corporate afford and also the resources that a managing agent can provide. So it's myself, my team is not only me I brought myself it's good that a portfolio manager has an assistant or somebody working with them plus their accounts team now you've got an accountant that's joining that's busy helping you a creditors clock, a jitters clock. What's the team that supports the portfolio manager at the end of the day because you want a managing agent with the best possible resources so that the body corporate can function properly with that? Yeah, that's so it's quite important that you ensure that you get value for the money that you are actually paying. Yeah, I know that's quite interesting. And I like the fact that you are talking about the number of buildings that they actually should you know the cap that you must be looking out for because some of these games are quite huge and you ask yourself how is the managing agent actually managing with all the issues that come in from just one building? So I can only imagine now when it's all these issues coming from every angle must be quite interesting. I see there's quite a lot of love in the comments section that we are still trying to find Zintle. I hope we are really going to find her before the end of the show because we are slowly but wrapping up. So please let us know if we are finding Zintle we really, really need to find her so that she can claim her prize. Otherwise it's a roll over to tomorrow. So Leanne, let's maybe take a few questions now and I really have to throw this one in. Can body corporates run their schemes without a managing agent? And what would be the pros and cons of doing that? Thanks, Martha. A very good question and very applicable. A lot of the times now, especially with body corporates, at the end of the day, when you're collecting levies to pay your expenses of the running of the body corporates and one of them is a managing agent's fee. So it's an important consideration where a lot of body corporates decide, okay, we're going to run it ourselves and save some money. And yes, that's possible. You can do it. Unfortunately, the problem comes in that any managing agent, even myself and the companies that I work for, our resources allow us to ensure compliance with all relevant legislation, including financial aspects.  But it comes down to, do you have the resources to do so? And a typical example would be levy collection. So the act requires that there's a separate bank account for the body corporates and there's specific requirements for insurance to cover any loss of funds. So in that instance, when a group of trustees are wanting to establish or manage the body corporate themselves, they have to ensure they've got that in place. How the levies are collected, how are they raised? Have they got a system in place to send levy statements up on a monthly basis? Have they got a separate bank account opened? Who's going to reconcile the bank account at the end of every month? Who is going to collect levy areas or follow up on a real levies because that'll ultimately affect your cash flow, which affects payment to service providers. So it's about the resources that the body corporate has at their disposal and the pro of having a managing agent is that we have those resources behind us. And if you've got a group of five trustees who already have their most likely day jobs or they are fully employed to manage that as well, it could be quite time consuming. And also it might end up, I've seen it where the non-compliance comes in, where they don't have the necessary insurance in place for the bank account. But they haven't got the necessary insurance specifically for the body corporate. They haven't received the necessary advice that a managing agent could give them in terms of who to appoint, et cetera. So it's definitely about resources and the managing agent can provide that as opposed to self-managing scheme. I think we've got a good business case for body corporates not to try and cut the corners and save the money. Because really, I mean, there's also the sectional titles act that they need to comply with. And it's quite extensive in terms of their requirements. So if our fans who are watching, they are part of body corporates and they have been thinking how we can save it back and try and do it ourselves. I don't think you might want to do that unless there's probably just two buildings there. But yeah, it is quite intensive. It sounds very, very intensive. So Femme, I'm not sure. It doesn't look like Zindle has shown herself. It looks like we might be holding over that 500 rounds to tomorrow. Just the last one from my side, Eliane, and really this has been a very insightful discussion. What would you say are some of the common challenges that body corporates encounter as they manage their managing agents? Thanks, Martha. So I actually made a note here and I've always tried to live by this. Now, us as managing agents, we always tend to over promise under deliver, not myself specifically, but when it comes to response times on queries, transparency on financials, that is what makes a good managing agent. If you are able to answer something or at least provide a quick response time on a question, it creates confidence in the managing agent. And if a managing agent isn't providing you with the feedback I require in terms of where the lilies are going, what they're being spent on, not answering a query on a rule, for instance, what led to me wait seven days. It's something that makes for unsatisfied clients. So I think that's all about when we promise something to one of our trustees or one of our owners, it's important that we deliver on that promise. Whether it be something small or something big, because I see it as for those owners, no, it's your property. It's something that you've invested in. So you want the best value for what you are paying the managing agent. So for me, I think it's different, the quick response time, and if that's a problem, then you have to highlight it to a managing agent and transparency on every aspect of running on the body of corporate. Transparency is very important. And we see it a lot when we, myself, when we take over other buildings, and I'll give you an example today, we took over, I've taken on a new building in the CBD and the main issue for the trustees was lack of transparency and no responses on their queries. So it makes them, then there's no confidence in what the managing agent is doing. And you appointed me to run your scheme ultimately for you and that confidence has to be present or else that communicate or that break down or that lack of trust. If that's broken down, then the relationship isn't going to work. No, that's absolutely true because it's a relationship that we need to manage. But at the end of the day, the managing agent needs to understand that the body of corporate is actually paying for a service. And most of the time, I mean, the service doesn't come cheap. So they really need to get the best value for that kind of investment. So I think those are quite important issues that we should be looking for, transparency, your integrity, communication, because we are interesting with the whole bank account with all of our ladies in there and sometimes it can really go up to millions. So it really is quite important that we manage a good relationship between the two parties. And I think we are much wiser this evening. Thanks to all the insights that you have really shared. Thank you so much really for being with us. I really appreciate that you took the time to just come and educate us and just engage with us and share your knowledge about how we can better manage our managing agents, but also just to understand what role that you play in helping us to manage our investment. Thank you so very much. I really appreciate it. Thank you, Martha. Lovely being on the show and I look forward to further evenings with you. Absolutely. I think we do need a follow up because it looks like there's quite a lot that we can cover on this one subject alone. Thank you so much, Leanne. Thank you. Thank you. And that of course was Leanne Harrison who is the portfolio manager at RPA Property Administrators chatting to us this evening about the role of managing agents. And I now have to laugh and leave you. It doesn't look like Zindler has claimed her price. So tomorrow the price will roll over to 1,000 rents. So summer is back tomorrow evening. So for me and the entire private property team, it's good night, loads of green hats your way. Michelle, I say come, please stay safe. Good night.
