The cavalcade of America sponsored by DuPont, makers of better things for better living through chemistry, presents Brian Donlevy in Navy Doctor. Many of DuPont's better things for better living serve us in ways of which some of us are completely unaware. A chemical compound known as titanium dioxide, improved in DuPont laboratories as a pigment for paint, is used to make more opaque the thin paper such as that used in air mail stationery and in bibles. And one of titanium's many war jobs is its use in paints which provide protective and camouflage coatings for military installations and equipment. Tonight with Brian Donlevy as its star, cavalcade tells the story of one day in the life of a Navy doctor. His official title is Medical Officer, but to the men on his ship who spoke of him with deep affection as dock or surge, he holds a special and hallowed place. Even in peacetime his is no simple medical post, but in war with shells bursting overhead and fire raging in the holes, the Navy doctor's coolness and courage have made him time and again one of the true heroes of our era. Our radio play written especially for cavalcade by Paul Peters is based on the experiences of Commander Charles F. Flower of the Astoria and stars Brian Donlevy. 17 years ago, Dr. Charles F. Flower came out of the University of California Medical School and hung his shingle on a battleship. The months after Pearl Harbor, Dr. Flower was Medical Officer on the Astoria, a 10,000 ton heavy cruiser attached to the Pacific Fleet. Then suddenly one day, he sat hunched over a table in a strange cabin on a strange ship, writing a letter home. My dear wife, you know as well as I do dear that I'm not very good at this. Somehow my fingers are always clumsy with a pen. Give them a hypodermic needle or a scalpel and right away they feel at home. But you beg me so often to write to you about what you call my exciting life at sea that I'm snatching a minute after a pretty crowded day to drop you a line. I've got my eyes just now darling. I guess I feel the need of talking to you, of being close to you. The day began with an operation under somewhat trying circumstances when our ship was undergoing an operation under somewhat trying circumstances. That's what he wrote his wife. Here's what really happened. The date was August 8. The ship was slipping silently through enemy waters, screening the landing of Marines until Lagi Island. At 10.30 a.m. Raymond A. Willis, pharmacist's mate first class, knocked on the medical officer's door. Dr. Flower. Oh, come in, Willis. There's a man in the sick bay I think you ought to look at, sir. Oh, who is it? Cutler, Bill Cutler, gunner's mate first class. Well, what's the matter with him? Stomach, I think. Run the temperature. Looks pretty sick to me, doctor. Well, Willis, we'll see Cutler. Yes, sir. Cutler, what's the trouble? Well, sir, it's like a stitch in my side. It almost takes my breath away every time I bend. Let me see. Is this the place? Yes, yes. Excuse me, sir. Yes, sir, that hurts. Mm-hmm. You've been feeling bad long, Cutler? Well, since yesterday morning, sir. Now, sir, after meals? Well, to tell the truth, doctor, I haven't felt much like eating. And when a sailor can't eat, he must be pretty sick, huh, Cutler? Well, it's nothing serious, is it, doctor? Well, the sooner you have it out, boy, the better. Yeah, that's it. I have one out. Acute appendicitis, Cutler. Calls for an operation. Oh, an operation? Now, sir? Now. Right away. Doctor, I gotta be at my battle station. You're going to bed, Cutler.  Go on. Strip. Shucks, doctor. I'll miss everything. Well, think of the nice long rest you'll have afterwards. Two weeks in the sick bay with nothing to do but eat and smoke. Uh, Willis. Yes, sir? Get this man ready for the operating table, Willis. What kind of anesthetic, doctor? Spinal. Tell my assistant, Dr. Brown, to administrate. I'll be right in. Uh-uh. What's this? General Quarters. General Quarters. Man will hear the aircraft station. Well, excuse me, doctor. I'll see you later. Cutler, Cutler, you come back here. What, doctor? I've got to get to my battery.  Oh, I can't miss this show, doctor.  Well, I've never seen one before. Oh. I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll leave the loudspeaker on. You'll be under spinal anesthetic so you can hear everything anyway. Now, come on. Off with that uniform. Yes, sir. Operator? Yes, sir? Captain Greenman on the bridge, please. This is Dr. Flower in sick bait. What's up, Captain? Captain, I have a gun that's made here with a gangrenous appendix. Can I operate? I can't wait, Captain. If that appendix bursts, then operate. Brown's our patient already? Yes, sir. Pre-operative and spinal administered. Right. Now, Cutler, let's see. You feel anything down here now? No. No, not a thing, doctor. It's just kind of drowsy. Like floating in air. I felt this way once when I was a kid and smoked a reefer. A reefer? Only one, doctor. A trombone player I knew in Chicago. Scalpel? Yes, sir.  Man of Marines and dive on this side of the stop. Man of battled stations. Hemistat, here you are, sir. You know, doctor, I was just thinking. Catch that Spurter, will you, Brown? Yes, sir. Now, look, if the ship gets hit with all those hatches secured, how do we get out of here? We'll get you out of here. Scissors? Scissors, sir. Here they come.  Yes, sir. That sounds like my battery. Here, you lie down. Oh, doctor, take it easy, cutler. Take it easy. But I gotta get out of here. How do you expect the doctor to do good, Taylor, when you're squirming around like that? There goes one of those deposits. Well done, battery one. Well done. It is my battery. It is. There goes another. It's exploding. Brown, give me a tie. Here you are, sir. If those bombs don't get me that knife, will. There goes another. And another. Need any help, sir? No, no, thank you, Brown. I'm just waiting for that vibration to stop. The destroyer, Javas, has been hit of its ship by a torpedo. She's on fire. The magazines are exploding. Hey, doctor, they got the Javas. We're crying out loud, at least, still, will you? Needle holder. There you are, sir. They're going over side. A crew is going over side. No, it's sinking, doctor. The Javas is sinking. Suit your. Yes, sir. Wait for my carriers. Oh, I can't stand this anymore. Let me out of here. Let me out of here. Hold them, Willis. I got him. They're knocking them out of the sky. Hey, look at those chaps. I'm telling him to hold them. There you are, Cutler. It's all finished. Well, Cutler, my lad, in two weeks you'll be as good as new. Phew. Hey, Willis, open the hatches and start those air blowers going, will you? I'm dripping wet. He wrote his wife that it was an operation performed under somewhat trying circumstances.  Well, dear, you'll be pleased to know that we weren't hit at all. As for casualties, all we could dig up was three fractured big toes among the ammunition handlers. It seems that in the excitement of their first baptism under fire, some of them foolishly dropped shells on their own feet. Of course, we had the survivors from the Javas to take care of, and that was... Of course, we had the survivors from the Javas. 100 men packed between decks in wardrooms and galleys. Sick bay crammed with fractures, burns and wounds. All day long and late into the night. No rest for the navy doctor. At 1 a.m. Well, you must be kind of pooped, Doc.  I can't sleep. Now, Brown, how's our man, Cutler? Always sleeping like that. How's our man, Cutler? Always sleeping like a baby, sir. We got him loaded with morphine. Why can't you sleep? I don't know. A hunch. I've got a hunch. You always have hunches, sir. You're famous for them. I've been in the Navy 17 years, Brown. I've got so that I can smell trouble. Smell it miles away. Oh, this is a trouble hunch, isn't it? Yeah. Brown, the Japs are coming back. They've spotted us, and they're coming back. Dog, go on, get some sleep, Doc.  Those poor devils from the Jarvis. What have you got an assistant for? Let me take care of them. I don't like this. It's too dark tonight. And too quiet. Oh, come on, sir.  Well, I got casualties bedded down there. Well, and Mike have them. Please, Doc, be sensible. All right. But I don't like it. It's too quiet. In his letter home, he wrote about this, too. This is what he said. You know me, dear, how cross I am when I don't get sleep at night, so it was a good thing in view of what subsequently happened that I caught sufficient rest for later on when I was... Sufficient rest. It was 1.30 when he went to sleep. It was an hour and a half later when an end came to the quiet and sufficient rest. What? What's that? Oh, so they did come back. Operator. Operator, the bridge. Give me the bridge. Where's Dr. Brown? Here, sir. All corpsmen present. Take two men and man the after battle station. Very well, sir. Gomez, Couch, come with me. Yes, sir. You three. Join the repair parties. This is a side and aft. You two, decontamination stations. Yes, sir. Now, men, for most of you, this is your first surface engagement. This is what your training as hospital corpsmen has prepared you for. You all know your duties. Until the fighting is over, we'll be locked up down here. So steal yourselves to hang on and take it. It sounds easy, but it won't be. I can promise you that. However, I have a hunch that I want afterwards. Now, since the intercommunication system and the loudspeaker are dead, you must rely entirely on my orders. Any questions? Suppose we get a shell hit below deck, sir.  In that case, we'll put the casualties and zipper stretches and take them up to the ward room. One thing more. The ammunition handling parties are passing five-inch shells right outside this door. For your health and theirs, keep out of the way. All clear? Yes, sir. Now lie down. Conserve your energy. All right? Face down, everybody. Listen to that. We're sure taking opponent. Yeah. They must have sneaked up the whole Jap fleet on us. I bet they're catching it topside. I'm here. They opened that door and let the smoke out. Smokes coming in from the ammunition handling room, sir.  Get those battery lamps going, will you? Hey, Wagner, Becker, light the battery lamp. Where do we find them first? That shell must have blown everything right through the bulkhead. Yeah, wait a minute. Here's one. That's better. All right. Who's missing? Where's Palmer and Morrow? Here they are. Both of them, doctor. Gone? Looks like it. That piece of shell must have... Cover them up. What about that ammunition handling party outside? Shell hit right in the middle of them, doc. Your treatment room, dental office, the pharmacy, all smashed to pieces. Nothing but a heap of junk out there. Wait a minute. Somebody's still alive. Willis, check every one of those men. Wagner, you come with me.  Hey, doc, here's the ship. Relax, now, Cutler, you relax. You've missed it twice. You're getting the big shell proof. It's a miracle, doctor. But the sick ones are all okay. A real miracle. One of those ammunition boys missed it, sir. And he's just plastered with wounds and flash burns. All right, bring him in here.  Yes, sir. More fiends, sir. Wagner, panic acid jelly. Here, sir. Now this won't hurt so much. There we are. In a minute, now the pain will stop.  You better cut it off.  The painless is slipping off a glove. Now you're fenced, boy. Can you lift the other leg? Oh, dry. Dry. Hey, watch out. There's $40 in those pants. He'll get well. You're listening to Brian Donlevy and Navy Doctor on the Cavalcade of America sponsored by Dupont. Maker of better things for better living through chemistry. As our play continues, Dr. Charles F. Flower played by Mr. Donlevy is medical officer aboard the Astoria, a heavy cruiser which screened the landing of Marines on to Loggy Island. When his sick bay is struck by a Jap shell, Dr. Flower tries to move his casualties to the ward room, but fire drives him through hatches and up ladders to the main deck. Dr. Flower, is that Dr. Flower?  Direct hit in the ammunition handling room beside us. Well, thank God you're safe, Doctor. We need you. Look at all these wounded. Yes, sir. Where's my assistant, Captain? Did Brown come up from the afterdressing station?  Must be 50 men down there. We've got to repair crew trying to reach them. You firefight it. Never mind the bridge. Let it burn. Get below and flood the lower magazine. Aye, sir. You'll have to find shelter somewhere, Doctor. Try the bosson's locker. One question, Captain. How bad are we hit, sir? Where it hurts, Doctor, down to the bone. Forward engine room knocked out.  The ammunition ready box is exploding. Fire is spreading to the magazine. They must have pumped a hundred shells into us. And if that lower magazine goes up... It'll blow the bottom out of the ship. Yeah. Well, the Japs are gone, I see, Captain. You certainly must have given them a belly full. At least we kept them off our transports at Tulagi. Captain, do you think... Do you think we'll have to abandon ships, sir? She's still on an even keel. We'll make a fight for her. We'll make a fight for her. Working with flashlights. Dodging the explosion of ammunition ready boxes. Gathering up the casualties. Hurry, hurry. Hear a shot of morphine. Hear a burn dressing. They're a bandage or a splint. But that isn't the way Dr. Flower described it in his letter home. I won't describe the next half hour, till you, dear. Just routine duty, caring for the wounded who are lying all over the deck. Dr. Flower? I've been looking for you yet. Oh, who is it? Chief radio man. You got it bad? Won't make it. Wouldn't let me do anything for him. Kept saying, it's no use, Doc. You're wasting your time. Maybe he's lucky. I won't take that from you, not from you. Not even with a lifeboat shot to pieces and the magazine's going up any minute? Scuttle, but the skipper's going to flood them. You mean he's trying to? Yes, sir. Those men in the captain's cabin, sir. I think we'll have to move. The serious cases. The heat's coming through the deck from the war room fire below. We can't put them out in the open. No, sir, not in this weather. All right. Put them under the overhang of number two turret. Get blankets from the living compartments. Right, sir. No, no, Willis, wait a minute. There's something else I want you to do. Yes, doctor. We're running out of supplies. You want me to get some for you? You think you can make it to the sick base, Sailor? Down through the fire and you know about the magazine's course? I'll make it. If you can't get back through the hatch to the war room, try climbing up through number two turret. I'll get back. First, I need morphine and dressings and all the sulfatanic acid and iodine that you can carry. I'll fill up a sea bag for you. Good luck, lad. Fires beyond control. Crews exhausted. Medical supplies depleted. And in the glare of the burning bridge, the Navy doctor coolly treats the captain for burns on face and hands. There you are, captain. That'll have to hold you for a while. In the morning, I'll try and make you a dressing, sir. In the morning, eh? No luck with the magazine's, captain? Some of them. But not the lower ones, sir? I don't know yet. You've done a great job, doctor. If we come out of this, I hope you're on my ship again. Thank you, sir. We'll come out of it, captain.  Yes, sir. One of my hunches. Captain Greenman. Captain Greenman. We can't make it, sir. Try again. We've tried everything, sir. It's no good. It won't work. Lieutenant, your commander of the firefighters. Get down to that lower magazine. But there's nothing to work with, sir. Power's gone. No pressure on the water makes. Use hand pumps. Hand pumps, we can't get near enough. Can't get near enough. It's the fire, captain.  It's a matter of minutes now. It's true, but they're human. They can't perform miracles, captain. Give order to abandon ship. Yes, sir. Put all stores you can aboard the life rafts. Every man has five minutes to get his belongings. Very well, sir. Then call your firefighters off the magazines. Get them through to that party trapped in the stone. That's one miracle we will perform, sir. Oh, wait a minute, Lieutenant.  Willis? Yes.  They're bringing him to. What? All hands, stand by to abandon ship. Prepare for light, friend. You're right, doctor. Some miracles nobody can perform. Captain Graydon, sighted a ship, captain. Where? Brought to the starboard beam, sir. No lights on her? No, sir. Isn't that one of our destroyers, captain? Well, she's maneuvering to come alongside. Siggleman! Siggleman! Yes, sir. Use your flashlight. Tell her to identify herself. The Bagley. It's the Bagley. Our skipper used to be my chief engineer. What's she flossing now, Siggleman? Alongside bow. Take off, survivor. Yes, sir. Listen to those men yell. You'd think that that little tin can was the prettiest sight in the world. I bet there's going to be some celebration when this crew gets to port, captain. One of your hunches, doc? Yes, skipper. One of my hunches. And so, my dear, that's all there is to write about now. At 5.30 after the Men in the Stern had been released, dark transfer was completed. At 6, the lower magazine went up and blew the bottom out of the old USS Astoria. And that, darling, was the end of my day. Now I think I will take everybody's advice. I'm going to lie down and rest a while. Your devoted husband, Charles. That's what the doctor wrote to his wife. But the fact is, in the crowded sick bay of the Bagley, this Navy doctor's work began all over again. Q. Brian Donlevy. In presenting tonight's play, DuPont is honored to pay tribute to the valiant officers and men of the Medical Corps of the United States Navy. Mr. Donlevy will return to the microphone in a few moments. Meanwhile, here is Clayton Collier, speaking in behalf of DuPont to tell you how chemistry transforms such a common materialist salt into potent instruments of war. Salt comes from the Latin word, celerium. Celerium meant salt money, the part of a Roman soldier's wages he was paid in salt. Salt goes to an American soldier, although he may not realize it, as part of his armament. In a DuPont plant at Niagara Falls, salt is melted by heat generated from electricity. This molten salt is electrolyzed, that is broken down by the electricity into its elements, sodium and chlorine. From these materials, one is silvery metal and the other a greenish-yellow gas, dozens of compounds are produced which have a bearing on the war. Tetraethyl lead, an important ingredient of high-octane gasoline, is made from compounds derived from both sodium and chlorine. The gears in a tank or truck or the prime mover that drags a heavy gun must stand almost unbelievable punishment. So they are given surfaces so hard that not even a file will scratch them. The hardening is done with sodium cyanide, another compound made from salt. The valves of a combat airplane engine would grow so hot they would melt if the tremendous heat generated by the motor were not carried away. This dangerous heat is controlled in many planes by making the valves hollow and filling them with sodium. The sodium melts and transfers the dangerous heat away from the valve head. From salt, modern chemistry also produces textile bleaches and dyes for uniforms, pharmaceutical chemicals used by army and navy doctors, non-flammable solvents to remove the grease from metals, electroplating chemicals and scores of other compounds. The white crystals you use on your dining room table, of which the United States has enough in Michigan alone to last for millions of years, are transformed by the chemist into supplies and equipment for our troops on the fighting fronts. Common salt, thanks to electrochemistry, yields these wartime adaptations of better things for better living through chemistry. And here is Brian Donlevy, star of this evening's cavalcade. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen. Because the Christmas season is approaching and because our play tonight was about doctors, I want to tell you a little story of something which happened in Wilmington, Delaware in 1907, 36 years ago, tomorrow. Something which has meant the difference between life and death to untold thousands of people. That day, a valiant, resourceful woman sold the first Christmas seals, designed by herself and run off by a local printer to raise funds to support Wilmington's small tuberculosis sanatorium. $3,000 worth were sold. That was the beginning of the Christmas seal sale in America. Since then, sales have amounted through the years to $123 million. This money spent for hospitalization, treatment, research, and education has brought tuberculosis down from the first cause of death in this country to the seventh. You have done this with your purchase of Christmas seals each year. And I know that this year, too, you will not fail. Thank you very much. From Wilmington, Delaware, birthplace of the Christmas seal, you pond is proud to salute Miss Emily Bissell, who designed and sold the first Christmas seal. This year of all years, buy Christmas seals, use them generously. In the bleak, desolate, arctic outpost where they serve, they call themselves the FBI, Forgotten Babes of Iceland. Next week, Cavalcade stars Glamorous Rita Hayworth in the role of a Red Cross recreation worker in Iceland. Our play, Check Your Heart at Home, is a bright romantic comedy with music based on Jane Goodell's bestseller, They Sent Me to Iceland. Dupont invites you to join Cavalcade's audience next Monday evening when it stars Rita Hayworth in Check Your Heart at Home. The orchestra and musical score tonight were under the direction of Donald Voorhees. Cavalcade is pleased to advise its listeners that Brian Donlevy may soon be seen in the new Metro-Goldenmayer Technicolor production, America. This is Carl Franks sending best wishes from Cavalcade's sponsor, the Dupont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. This is the national broadcasting company.


In this presentation, I described data linkage including why it's useful, major organisations who are conducting linkage of health-related data in Australia and which data collections are currently linked in Queensland. I also described how linked data are being used in Queensland and the process for applying for access to data and linkage services in Queensland. The presentation includes links to information on our website about what data collections are available in Queensland and how to apply to have data linked or for linked data from Queensland.


Don't just say, buddy, you with me? You with me? You with me? You with me? Let's go, come here. This way, this way. Hey, thank you. Thank you. I'm moving! What? You know what? B2 is supposed to start moving. We saw some movement on that rock pile hill right behind the mo-


M. Night Shyamalan's back baby and he's here to prove that old habits die hard as he's shown Audiences time and time again that he doesn't learn anything from past experiences. Let's talk about old Maybe it's because I'm growing older and age So I'm getting a bit of a soft spot for M. Night or Maybe it's because most movies in Hollywood today are creatively bankrupt. Whatever the reason I didn't hate old It is certainly didn't love it. I'm just kind of Kind of in the middle on it. This is gonna be spoiler-free for a while I'll let you know when I'm gonna jump into that territory if you've seen the film and want to hear my Kind of more of a breakdown on it. We'll get there. We'll get there eventually We'll just spend a few minutes for people are on the fence about seeing this movie and for some reason respect my opinions on films Just to let you know what I thought if you've seen the trailers You know this revolves around a central group of characters on an island for the majority of the film and for some reason Crazy stuff is happening. The kids are aging rapidly cuts are healing themselves Instantaneously people are freaking out stuff's going on. It's his pandemonium. It's chaos The whole film focuses on this mystery the entire time So think the TV show lost except for condensed into two hours instead of killing us slowly over the course of six or seven Seasons, there's no question the guys got talent and he's certainly very creative That's that's one of the reasons I appreciate his films even if I think he rarely sticks the landing these days I was amazed at how bad the dialogue still continues to be in his films Like he's never had an actual conversation with the human before there were points in the film where a person would say something And it would be completely off base from the last thing that was said almost like he cut chunks of scenes out of his film But he left some of the responses in place I just couldn't understand some of the reactions and that's just across the board not just the dialogue But how people respond to situations around them. I'll jump more into that in spoilers But I'm just gonna say as a parent if something happened to my child that was completely insane I'd be incredibly concerned. I wouldn't take my eyes off my kids These parents are a little bit more a little bit more chill about it and things that shouldn't shock them as much Make them freak out. So it's just this weird a dichotomy between the two people dichotomy dichotomy Hmm tried to sound smart there and it didn't come off that way It could reshoot that look up the word dichotomy and we'll just keep all this in old is a really beautiful film and it was cool seeing it on the big screen for Sure M night though still has those tricks that he's known for that let you know it's one of his movies for instance, I remember an unbreakable scene it does a teen I believe and There was a shot pretty early on where the camera focuses on a TV set And you just see the silhouette of the characters in the background It sits on this shot for what it feels like an eternity. It was probably 30 seconds or so There's no point of it.  I don't I don't really understand it. I don't think anybody can really determine what's going on M night's had there are shots in this film where there's two characters talking and one's like very out of frame You only see basically the nose and maybe like half the profile of another person and then the central characters out of focus Eating something in the background and it sits on this for 20 seconds there's no point to a shot like that and Most other people that would submit something like that the audience would be thinking Okay, this is like D level footage. This is the footage that should have been on the chopping block But instead M night's like yeah, that's the one I want. That's the shot. I want to go with that's rampant throughout this film I can't remember what they're classifying this film as a thriller Maybe a like a scary horror thriller. I don't know. It's not scary at all There's there's not a single scare in the film. There are a couple of jump scare attempts early on They are comically bad and it does that same lame trope movies have been doing for the last 20 or so years Where you know like the mom turns and a kid's there suddenly and the music just goes And the kids is just like hi It's so lame. It's so lazy and they didn't work the two or three attempts that they were in there There's a little disturbing imagery, but it's stuff. We've seen so many times like body dysmorphia type of stuff It's it's kind of comically done though. So you're not you're not really Like invested in the fear. It's more just Okay, well, that's that's happening overall. I like the idea of this film. I think it's an interesting concept Of course, there's a twist at the end. Does he nail it? Mmm, I mean, it's fine I think it was satisfying enough when the whole film hinges on the final ten minutes being you know a satisfying reveal I think it was fine. It was adequate. It wasn't something, you know, amazing by any means But it didn't leave me sour.  We don't know what happens. It is explained and that's enough for me for the pervs out there Like myself, there are a couple shots of women's behinds in this. They're attractive women It's it's certainly something worth watching And if that's enough to get to the theaters, well, there you have it You heard it here first couple a couple of ass shots in the film So what we have here again folks is a very inconsistent M night film. It's not glass levels of terrible I hated that movie if you liked it There's no there's nothing I can say that's gonna convince you otherwise This is far better than that But I think it takes a big step down from split which I think is one of his better films So yeah, I guess to summarize it's an M night Shyamalan film He hasn't learned much over the years of what works for his type of storytelling and what doesn't I really wish He would have someone else step into the writing room take his cool ideas and just make them make them better Flesh him out a little bit more because there's tons of holes you can poke in this thing for my final verdict I'm giving old 28 out of 40 the last airbender DVDs Haven't forgotten about that film you son of a bitch one of the worst TV show adaptations to movies I've ever seen in my life. All right that out of the way for those have seen this or just don't have any desire And want to hear me rant for a little bit here is my breakdown for all The film focuses on a few different couples who go to this resort They're either found it online or they were given a brochure to this mystery place. It looks like paradise I mean, it's gorgeous. They arrive they get these mart they get these custom drinks to their profile But whatever that means, I guess they filled out some pretty intense questionnaire and From there they just kind of lounge for the day They have two kids. I believe the ages are six and twelve They befriend a kid on the island who says his dad works there This is this is something that I knew would be important later on I also had a feeling these drinks were a little sus too. I wasn't sure where that was gonna go We also find out kind of loosely that a lot of the residents here seem to have some sort of a condition whether they're Fainting or you know, they they have some sort of a appendage that's bursting or whether they have Something growing inside them that's cancerous. Actually, I don't think anybody had an appendage burst And I just made that one up We're gonna keep going Concierge informs the guests that there's a special section of the island that only certain groups of people get Access to and these guys are privy to that information So they get in a vehicle driven by yours truly M night and he takes them to their destination Kicks their asses out says the beaches down there.  Enjoy your stay and then he bolts as soon as they pass through this rocky area They're stuck on the island. They can't go back or they black out This leads to my first question of many the overall plot to this film brace yourselves Is that these people are basically guinea pigs their test subjects and the island itself the rock that surrounds it is very old It's old tiny rock that's been around for for centuries And because the water levels have have lowered so much this whole area was under water And somehow the effects of the rock in this area are messing with people's cells They're aging them up rapidly So when people try to leave and go back through the cave That that area acts as some sort of a barrier because the pressure is too much on their their minds on their heads and they faint Here's my question These people faint constantly trying to go this way that way get off the island and then they end up back in the sand Well, we find out there's nothing supernatural going on here. It's all scientifically based Which I think is M night's first mistake because science. I don't think science is a strong suit They're being studied and monitored 24 7 Because those cocktails they were given at the beginning actually contain Hopeful cures for their ailments because they age so rapidly We're talking like a full lifetime within 48 hours of being there The scientists are able to quickly know if their concoction works or not and then they can just churn out more bodies You know every day every few days. We've established it's scientifically based. There's nothing supernatural going on So how do these people faint inside of a cave and then wake up on the beach again? The explanation could be that other people find them fainted and go in and get them But then they would pass out at one point all of them go different ways and they all end up back on the beach It doesn't make sense. It's possible. I missed something, but I truly don't think so I think this is just a a massive plot hole in the film another thing is we've established that fingernails and um hair are they don't have like living organisms They don't have cells so the hot blonde keeps her luscious locks while she starts to age rapidly The issue is we see them deteriorate into bone The bone should just stay there's no reason why the bone wouldn't but that also breaks down to ash I I don't believe that there's anything living in bone, right? Why why would the bone go so quickly? Well, the reason is because M night needs it to otherwise the beach would be littered with bone It would be a bone graveyard since the human body responds so quickly to things All sorts of nonsense takes place We we have a woman's tumor growing like to the size of a basketball in the course of a couple minutes A couple seconds actually a woman gets pregnant and delivers a baby in in the course of you know 10 minutes and the baby dies instantly because it needed to eat right away um But here's a question If all this happened so quickly to the body wouldn't all these people die of skin cancer within say, you know an hour They're outside In the elements the sun's baking down on them. They're not putting sunscreen on I would assume that they would just fry in the sun.  Uh, I I don't know what was going on there Trent I believe is the boy's name decides to decipher a coded message that that kid I mentioned earlier at the resort gave him. He knows he likes puzzles So he decipheres it and it says something about the coral and how his father doesn't like the coral We see this beautiful white coral out in the uh ocean and that's when the kids realize That might protect us from whatever is going on with these rocks and might block it So they swim in there. It's a whole thing and that's how they get off the island I'm not sure why these scientists didn't figure out a way to get rid of that coral But whatever. I mean, you know, what are the odds, right? The last thing I have to point out is m night's bizarre fetish with job occupations One of the boy's Ticks, I guess is he likes to introduce himself ask people their names and their job occupations Fine, whatever. It was it was kind of funny. I knew it would come into play at some point What's really odd though is everybody seems to do this Uh the woman at one point is like I need you to trust me. So here's what I do for a living Some of it made sense and other times it was just what what is going on? Why are you so obsessed with people saying what they do for a living? I didn't know if it was a commentary about how You know life moves so fast and we need to slow down and appreciate it And we shouldn't be so obsessed with working, you know the nine to five And and making our entire identity about what we do Actually, you know what? I'm pretty sure that's exactly what he was doing and because m night's so ham-fisted in his approach It just comes off as sloppy. Those are my thoughts on the film. I didn't hate it. I didn't love it. It was entertaining It's silly. It's m night shaman. It's what you're gonna get Let me know what you thought if you saw it in the comments Like the video if you had a good time and make sure to subscribe to adam does movies I put out videos constantly now. So it's a good time. I'd like to see you stick around Thanks again for watching the video You can also find me on my second channel adam olinger where I post Nonsensical rants and video game let's plays from twitch. That's right. I'm on twitch at adam olinger I don't stream often But it's a nice break from doing this and doing my actual nine to five job and and just being you know A family man, so I stream pretty late at night Once a week usually you can find me on tiktok at adam does movies And you can even support me on patreon at adam does movies or right here on youtube with that join button A lot of a lot of things happening


Condemnations are continuing to trail the move by the BIOSA state government to acquire another loan. The most recent is coming from a chieftain of the all-progressive Congress in the state, Ophoni Williams, who says the 30-billion-dollar loan which Governor Dio Diri is seeking will not be of any benefit to the state. However, the governor says the money will be used to execute the three senatorial roads and a few other projects. To look at all these projects in Queston, the amount in Queston, 30 billionaires, will not be able to address one single project to its finality. Why am I saying so? Because the construction work required in the brass road, from its part point of view, it will go off close to 250 billion to 300 billion. That is what is required to deliver the name brass road. For the Inagua, Oporuma and beyond road, that road that is going to be in the required series of bridge and culverts, that road in Queston 2 will require nothing less than 140 billionaires to deliver.


It says credits deduction that income reported on schedules one through six such as the student loan interest deduction. Those are not covered in that turbo tax free addition. And was this always the case or did you just add this recently? I believe this was always the case. What I'm trying to get us. Obviously, I feel like I would have qualified for the free edition now. Because you may have the. Yeah, you may have. I know I would have obvious that there was a free edition of turbo tax. I had no idea it existed. So that's why I wanted my refund. That's what I emphasized to him because I would have used the free one because I know I would have qualified for that one. There's no doubt in my mind I would have qualified. I understand these are two different products. The problem is I didn't know there was two different products and that I would have used the free one had I known it existed. Right, I understand and I understand that that may be the case. Unfortunately, even though I know that you say that you would have used it if you'd been aware of it. Of course, I would have paid for things when they can get it for free. I'm seriously in this case, though, we are still aren't able to process a refund for this. I understand that that's something you would have maybe opted to do at the time and may have qualified for it. Again, that's not a determination I can make. It's something that would have been on the website or based on income. Even though it may have been something that you would have wanted to do in this case, it's not what was done. And for what was done, we're not able to issue a refund.


Lakeland Public Television presents Currents with host Ray Gildow, sponsored by Niswa Tax Service, offering tax preparation for individuals and businesses across from the City Hall in Niswa and on the web at niswatax.com. Hello again everyone and welcome to Lakeland Currents. Today we're gonna be giving you safety tips that might help save your life, might help save my life. Talking with Neil Dickinson, who is the regional public information officer for the Minnesota State Patrol in the northeast sector of Minnesota, which covers a very large area from Duluth down to Brainerd. And welcome to the program Neil. It's great to have you here. Thanks for having me. Hopefully we can talk about some things today that can help save some lives, maybe change some attitudes about things. And I know, maybe you could just talk a little bit about yourself, what your background is and how you got into what you're doing. Sure, again I'm the public information officer for the Minnesota State Patrol in the northeast region. So I have three districts with the State Patrol. I'm based out of the Duluth District. I also cover the Brainerd District and the Virginia District. So again, I've all northeast part of Minnesota. And my main job with the State Patrol is to have media relations and get out stories or do presentations in anything that incorporates traffic safety. So again, I work closely with the media and if we have attempt to locates for instance, we have the media help us try to find maybe a vehicle that we're looking for or a person we might be looking for. So I work very well with the media, I believe, and I really enjoy the position. I think the thing that interests me about talking with you is that the number one, the large number of people being killed continually on our American highways and our death rates are going up again in Minnesota for the first time in some time. And the headline in the paper this week was there's a potential of 42,000 deer being killed by Minnesota drivers this year. Last year, I think there was close to, I believe around 190 people killed in those car collisions between deer. And so there's just, it's just dangerous place to be on our highways. And it really doesn't need to be this dangerous. I think if more people would follow the laws. And I can appreciate in your position how these laws are pretty sophisticated or changing all the time.  But it's just amazes me that if you look at a highway with a 55 mile an hour speed limit, people are going 62. They bump that speed limit up to 60 and they're going 65, 67. You bump it up to 70 and they're going 75. And it's like we are responsible. The highway patrol can't be responsible for controlling all those things. We have to take control of that. We being older people, younger people, middle-aged people, it's a matter of life and death. And we have to really start doing something about this. It is, it's all, and our goal is towards zero death.  And it comes down to the majority of the crashes come down to driver error. Contributing factors in why people are getting hurt today is speeding, distracted driving, driving under the influence and not wearing a seatbelt. Those combinations are what I've seen on the road in my 19 years as being a state trooper. I also did crash reconstruction for 13 years. So I got called out to go investigate the serious injury and fatality crashes. So I've seen firsthand what happens when errors are made from drivers out on the road. And we could be driving and obeying all the laws, but we have to be aware of the other people that are behind the wheel of other cars making mistakes. You know, you talked about the car-deer crashes that we're seeing and that's avoiding our distractions inside the car. We have to be able to recognize something that's gonna possibly run out in front of us or another vehicle coming out in our lane of traffic. For instance, we have to be able to react to that situation and avoid, you know, a crash. So, you know, one of our biggest campaigns now is eliminate the distractions inside of our vehicles. You know, with the cell phone use that we have today. Indistracted driving is not just being on a cell phone and texting. It's anything inside of a car that's gonna take your attention away from driving, putting on makeup, for instance, while you're driving, changing radio station, you know, talking to the passengers, eating while we're driving as well is also what we're seeing out there as drivers that are doing inside of that vehicle. So, we're trying to get that message out to all the drivers to eliminate all those distractions as much as you can and pay attention a hundred percent of the time while you're driving. And it's gonna help you avoid being in a crash. It's gonna also help somebody else from getting injured. I had an opportunity to be fishing with, I'm a fishing guide in the summer, a California State Patrolman from Sacramento. And he was telling me that they do a lot of research on swift speed. And he said the average person driving a car down the highway doesn't really comprehend how many feet they're covering when they're going 80 miles an hour. And he said their studies show that that break-off is around 70-some miles an hour when you can still control things, but when you get up into that little higher range, you really just lose control. It's almost like you're on ice even though it's in the middle of the summer. And they're seeing the same things we're seeing more and more people killed by speed. And they're seeing, I don't know how it is in Minnesota now, but they've lost a lot of police officers pulling people over, trying to take care of the issue and then getting hit because someone's been distracted, didn't even see them and killed the officer. That's an issue I know for highway workers as well as patrol people. What are we looking at for a number of deaths in this state? Do you have any idea off the top of your head? As far as patrol people getting killed? Patrol, I don't have that. I know, I just pulled up some stats just recently on the number of state trooper vehicles that have been hit. We average anywhere from the mid-20s up to 30 of squad cars that have either had a traffic stop or a crash scene per year in the state of Minnesota that have been hit. I've been hit twice in my career and it can be very scary. The highways, the freeways are a very dangerous place for anybody to be. You know, and it all comes down to being distracted again and we have a Minnesota moveover law. We had a trooper that was killed down in Southern Minnesota years ago from a truck driver, semi-truck driver that we believe fell asleep. The trooper was on a traffic stop and that person drifted over, hit the squad car and hit the trooper. So we have a, it's called a TED FOSS moveover law in Minnesota and basically what that law says is anytime that a driver sees flashing lights and that's either a law enforcement vehicle, ambulance, fire, tow trucks and even construction vehicles, any type of flashing lights that, let's say for instance, are on the right shoulder and there's a two-lane road going the same direction. The Minnesota law says that that driver, if that lane is open on the left side, has to merge over in that left lane and keep that right lane open. If you cannot keep that right lane open, if traffic is that heavy, our recommendation in the law says is please slow down and move over as far enough as you can to the left side and give us some room to work on that right shoulder, for instance. So that's our Minnesota moveover law and I know we've had some extra enforcement campaigns that we've recently been doing and we're looking for drivers that are failing to do that. And again, that's gonna keep us safe out on the roads and keep everybody else safe. So if you see flashing lights, please, please, please slow down, move over to that left lane, especially with the winter season coming up here when the roads get covered in snow and there's ice on that road, please slow down because if you see flashing lights ahead of you, there might be a crash, there might be a lane merge, or you don't know exactly what's going on up there. So if you see those flashing lights, please slow down and be aware. There's two areas I've always really felt concerned about for patrol people and that's one of them. And the other one, and I have never completely understood this change, but when you pull someone over, you have to walk up to them, they have to stay in the car. And I've always thought that was almost more dangerous than when in the old days, we used to have to get out of the car and walk back. What was the rationale for that? Yeah, I know with us, with the State Patrol, our training is, is we want everybody to stay in their vehicle. So if you see flashing lights behind you and you're getting pulled over for a traffic violation or traffic stop, please pull over as far enough as you can off of the road, put your car in park, please, and then have, or we can see your hands. What's very dangerous for law enforcement is if we can't see somebody's hands inside that vehicle. Our recommendation is please put your hands up or we can see them. The officer is gonna approach your vehicle. We're doing a lot more passenger side approaches because especially on a freeway or a busy highway, that driver side area is very, very dangerous for us to walk up and I guess conduct business on the road and talk to the driver. We're gonna ask some simple questions. For instance, on where you're going, we're gonna ask for your driver's license, we're gonna ask for proof of insurance. And then we're just gonna just talk to the driver and find out what's going on there. And we're trained to look for impairment, for instance, on anybody that we stop. We're looking for any signs maybe of a distraction or if that person's impaired. And that's one of our main reasons too on traffic safety and what we're looking for is to get impaired drivers off of the road and our main goal is to keep everybody safe. And so we're gonna be probably coming up on the passenger side and we're gonna ask you for that information. Typically what we'll end up doing now is we're gonna go back to our patrol vehicle, we're gonna run the driver's license. We already ran the license plate information so we're gonna have the information already on the registered owner of the vehicle if it's a Minnesota license plate. So we're gonna go back and make sure that that driver is valid and if there's any warrants or anything else for that driver. And then we're gonna approach again either with a warning on a typical traffic stop or a citation. And again, we're there to educate the motoring public on maybe a possible violation or anything else that we've seen and what made us stop that vehicle in the first place. I have a relative who drives a semi and he said you can't believe what you're seeing when you're in a semi, including people changing clothes, a driver changing clothes and like you said, putting on makeup, reading, you know. You touched on this a little bit but you said there are five major reasons that people get in a crash. Could you just kind of review those? Yeah, infatality crashes in the state of Minnesota, Department of Public Safety compiles all these, the records from all the crash reports that come in statewide from law enforcement agencies. And on our fatality crashes, the number one reason why people are dying is speeding. And this of course is the investigation from the law enforcement departments fail into yield. Let's say at an intersection, somebody maybe went through a stop sign or a red light for instance. And then number three is driver inattention.  And I really think that that's a lot higher because that's under reported because it's tough for us in law enforcement to prove that somebody was distracted and caused that crash unless they admit to us or with a serious injury or fatality crash and we're gonna do an investigations, we're gonna grab or we're gonna try to obtain the cell phone from the person, the driver and we're gonna look into that phone, maybe try to obtain cell phone records either with owner's consent or possible search warrant. And we're going to obtain those records. And again, we're investigating on why this crash happened. So we're gonna look at, see if they were on their phone, if they were texting, if they, anything else that may be inside of that vehicle. Number four on the fatal crashes is chemical impairment. Driving on the influence and that's not just alcohol, we're seeing a lot of other possible medication, illegal drugs that are in a person's system. OPRI or AIDS or whatever. Yeah, we're starting to see a lot more of the, I guess driving on the influence without alcohol. But then you start mixing that with alcohol can be a very dangerous situation. So a lot of the officers today now, I know I'm one of the instructors with standardized fields of variety tests for law enforcement with the state patrol and with the new law enforcement officers that are coming on. And that's one thing that we're really, really touching on and trying to teach the new law enforcement officers is if you don't sense or smell alcohol or with a preliminary breath test, there's nothing that comes up on it. That doesn't mean that they're good to go. It could be prescription medications. So we're training our officers now to look for that other type of impairment and what's gonna happen from there if the officer feels that after the standardized field sobriety tests that are given to the driver, if they feel that they're under the influence, they're gonna be arrested at that point.  If they think there's something else that's possibly another impairment, we're gonna ask for a blood or urine sample from that person as well. And now with that, we're required now to get a warrant if we're gonna ask that person for a blood draw. We're required now to obtain a warrant. Wow, that's a lot of paperwork. It's quite the process now to process the driving under the influence. Yeah, but that's our main mission, especially with the state patrols. We wanna take those people off of the road before they hurt themselves or someone else. It's amazing how many times a year you'll see someone who was in a bad traffic accident who really doesn't even have a license anymore, but they've just been out there illegally driving. Right. What should a person do if you run across road rage? That, our recommendation is to call 911. I know a lot of people think that 911 is for emergencies only, and definitely that's what it's set up for, but I always remind people and ask and try to educate people that if you see somebody, for instance, that's going over the center in Fogline, and they're just driving erratically or very dangerous, please call that in. Call 911, either you're gonna get the state patrol dispatch or you're gonna get your local sheriff or police and report that, and what the dispatcher's gonna do is ask you to stay on that line for us, especially, and then update the dispatchers. The dispatcher's gonna put that out. Let's say the state patrol gets that call. The county sheriff's department and the local city officers also monitor us. We monitor them. We work together as a team out there, and we're gonna do our best, even though it's the state patrol, county, or city, we're gonna do our best to get that car stopped, and we're gonna investigate that driver and make sure that they're not impaired, or if they're impaired, we're gonna take the next step and at least get them off of the road. One of the things I read was, don't look at them. Don't stare at them. Try to get out of their way. Right. But don't get back into a tit for tat, kind of. Yeah, we're talking about road rage. If that happened to me in my personal car just a couple weeks ago. Really? Yeah, and it's where a person came up and they were right on my bumper and what I tell people to do is, if it comes a very dangerous situation, go to the right shoulder, let them go by, which I did. I let the car go by, I pulled back into the lane, they started to slow down in front of me. Really? So what I do is get a license plate and I called 911 and reported it and we got that vehicle stopped. Really? Yeah. It's not worth it, and I always tell people, you don't know who that other driver is, who you're dealing with. Right. It's not worth it. If that happens, please call 911 and we'll do our best to get that car stopped. Give the dispatcher updated information on your road that you're on, your location. If that car continues to, I guess, have road rage with you is keep that dispatcher updated and one of us will do our best to get that car stopped. That's becoming more common. Unfortunately, it's becoming more common. People are in such a hurry to get to the stop site and sit there just a couple cars ahead of you but it's really becoming very common. Let's just talk a little bit about the zipper concept of coming into the freeway from my side road. I know a lot of people are still a little confused about how to do that. Right. On a zipper merge, for instance, Minnesota Department of Transportation, we see a lot of the zipper merges that a construction zone, for instance, where it's down to one lane and it's the same concept when you're coming in off of a ramp. Let's say you're going up to a construction zone, for instance, and it's two lanes and it's going to go to merge to one. Let's say it's going to merge that left lane. We want everybody to use both lanes when you're coming up to that merge, especially when traffic's very heavy and can be congested because it's going to eliminate the backup and that's when we're getting our crashes, maybe it's around a curve or up on a hill where people don't see that threat in front of them and then we're going to get some rear end crashes, for instance, but recommendation and MnDOT recommends this as well as use both lanes and there's a designated merge area, usually right at the sign where it says to merge and please take turns in that merge and I know sometimes that doesn't happen and that's where the road rage incidences happen. We've gotten calls in the past where somebody will, for instance, on that scenario, someone's going to block that right lane and then our argument will take place right on the road and we've had physical altercations. I personally have dealt with and I personally haven't dealt with it, but I know there's been some instances where somebody's pulled out a gun, for instance, when it comes to the highway. Right on the highway, yeah, so it can be very dangerous. So if that happens, again, call 911 and report that and we're going to do our best to get that car stop that's possibly doing this, but please, you go up to that merge, designated merge lane and take turns in there. I guess Minnesota nice is what we call it and if that happens, it's going to help everything. The traffic's going to flow a lot better and it's going to just be more of a positive outcome.  It is, I just pulled the stats this morning on that and this was from two days ago. We're currently at 276 fatalities in the state of Minnesota and we're pretty much right on pace of last year's 278 fatalities this time last year and that's not good numbers for us at all for the state of Minnesota, again, we're trying to reduce those numbers, but last year we had 411 deaths in the state of Minnesota and that was the highest fatality count since 2010. So our numbers are going the other way, even though cars are safer, we're trying to get that message out of the distracted driving, don't drive under the influence, wear your seat belt. It's hard to believe anybody would not wear a seat belt. Our compliance rate in the state of Minnesota is about 92%, which is good, but that 8% that is not wearing their seat belts, we have extra enforcement that we're looking for that, we're trained to look and see if we can see that seat belt that's not on. We can legally stop a car now if we see somebody in that vehicle has not seat belted in. So everybody, even in a back seat, has to be legally strapped in. Everybody has to be legally strapped in, especially when we talk about children in the car, they have to be in the proper car seats, booster seats, and that's big. I have zero tolerance when I see children in a car that aren't buckled or buckled properly, that can be a very dangerous situation for young children. But seat belts, when I did crash reconstruction and then when I investigated crashes, the majority of the fatality, serious injury crashes that I've gone to in Northern Minnesota is the one car rollover crashes. Really? Where somebody's not wearing their seat belt. And think about when a car rolls over, the object's inside of a car, another human being inside of that car, when it starts to rotate, very dangerous situation. The seat belts are designed to keep occupants in that vehicle, in where they're sitting, and your chance has increased tremendously if you're wearing a seat belt and you're involved in any type of crash. So that's one of our priorities in not wearing your seat belt is a top contributing factor in why people are dying today. Well, there's two seasons coming up that are pretty dangerous for all the Minnesotans. One is the deer crossing the highways and the other is winter driving. Could you talk a little bit maybe first about how to drive in the deer season? Yes, our motorcycle fatalities, serious injuries have gone up as well in the state of Minnesota. Very dangerous. I've responded to quite a few in my career of motorcycles hitting deer. And majority of those are when it gets dark out or right at dusk or dawn. Be aware, look to your left and right and be aware that deer, especially this time of year, we're gonna start seeing a lot more of them. They're starting to get more active out in the woods. Wear your seat belt. We've had them where they've come into the car through the windshields. We've seen cars roll over, trying to avoid maybe an animal on the road. Our recommendations if there's an animal in the road and you're at high speeds, at highway speeds is try to slow down. But make sure you're steering, yeah, make sure your steering isn't gonna cause you to roll over. And think about that type of situation. If you lose control, you might possibly go in the other lane and have a head-on crash. You might roll your car in the ditch type of thing, but our recommendation is just slow down as hard as you can. And you gotta be aware of somebody that's behind you as well. So very dangerous. So watch out, look at the horizon. Expand your vision when you're driving and look for those. And especially in northern Minnesota, we're seeing a lot of the deer right now coming out and trying to cross the road or running. They're estimating about 42,000 deer will be hit this year. They won't all be serious collisions, obviously. And then last year, I think, like I said, there was close to 200 people killed in those collisions. And some of them were motorcycles. Motorcycles, absolutely. And talking about motorcycle safety, the state law for anybody that's over 18 is we don't have a helmet line in Minnesota, but I've seen it where helmets have saved lives. Please wear a helmet. I know the law says you don't have to, but you have to have eye protection on as well. And then dress for the occasion.  At least you have some sort of protection if that happens. And what sort of tips would you give the viewers about driving in the wintertime? Wintertime, very, very dangerous situation. Number one, please slow down. When the weather gets, when it turns, and a lot of times, you know, you can see that glare on the road. Yeah, it doesn't seem very slippery. It's probably ice or the black ice type of situation. So slow down, wear your seatbelt. And one thing I really wanna talk and hit on is have good tires on your vehicle. I've seen numerous cars that have, below the minimum, tread depth on those vehicles. And that definitely is causing people to lose control. So, you know, I know it's expensive sometime to order some new tires, but it could save your life on someone else's as well. So invest in a good set of winter tires. How many of our, do you know, percentage of our accidents are caused by teens versus adults? I don't have the numbers, but just the inexperience, you know, of a teenage driver, especially when the winter comes, it's different type of driving slowing down. And we gotta remember the speed limit might be, let's say on the freeway, 70 miles an hour. If it's slippery out there, it's snow and hard visibility is down. That speed limit isn't 70 anymore. Yeah, it's drive with due care is what basically the statute says. So you can be issued a citation for traveling over the speed limit or failing to drive with due care, even if you're under that postage speed limit. So good common sense and have those headlights on if there's any type of precipitation during the daytime. They need to be on then, right? Physically turn those on because the rear taillights might not be active. And it's not what you see it's being seen, especially when the visibility gets down with fog or rain, snow, anything else that's gonna reduce the visibility. So the number one thing coming out of this discussion really is slow down. I mean, so many of our deaths and accidents are caused by high speeds. I had a personal incident happen here about two months ago where a white suburban was coming down a county road and he started coming over the line and I looked at him and I thought, well he must just have lost his attention or something. He kept coming straight at me. I had to hit the ditch, the shoulder and I was going 55 and I pulled over. He went by me. He was texting or reading his phone. He never saw me. I watched him in the rear view mirror and he went into the ditch and then realized and I don't think he ever saw me unless he looked in the rear view mirror and saw me. And again, the stats are at 55 miles an hour before somebody looks up. Average Texas, maybe three to five seconds. That's the length of a football field before somebody looks up. So that's a great distance that's covered. Yeah, very dangerous situation. So wear your seatbelt, slow down, avoid your distractions, don't drive under the influence of alcohol. Be aware of other drivers. Like I said, we could be the safest driver in the world but it all takes us to somebody else to make a mistake and something bad could happen. Good information deal. We've run out of time, unfortunately. Is there a website that people can go to if they want to look up laws from Minnesota High? Yeah, the website I use is dps.mn.gov. It's got great information on it, it has stats, it has recommendations on winter driving. Any campaign that we have with State Patrol, Department of Public Safety, updated laws. I know a lot of times we don't have, especially as adult drivers, there's no way for us to get updated on laws. So that's up to us to actually be educated and know the new laws that are coming out. And again, everybody just, we want everybody to drive safe and we're trying that toward zero death as our goal and we're really trying. Thank you very much. Thanks, Jeff. Very good information. Hopefully this is something that will help all of us be safe around the highways. You've been watching Lakeland Currents where we're talking about what you're talking about. I'm Ray Gouldow, so long until next time.

But here there's a direct quote from as well To Henry freeholder an exact one-third of the amount of my fortune This bequest is made in full knowledge of mr. Freeholders past and of the single misstep he made isn't Wow So our suicide with the better one of the records will give us a story. This gives us a clue to motive. Don't you see? Stermann's will would be probated someday That means it would be available for the newspapers and if the family like Francis Confessor the will that even more for the fee holder didn't become treasurer of the church The good honest man wouldn't be so good anymore when this became known would it well So I'd he'd have a quarter of a million bucks wouldn't he really my hunt says that his wife didn't feel He must have wanted him to refuse the money anything to hide Protect their little place make a meal but you're old Henry just couldn't resist the good Yeah, yeah, and he's just so unhappy about the fighting with his wife over if any goes out and kills himself Maybe you're right.

Okay. Keep talking. I Can't miss Francis It's about my big fight It it says I paid tiger Jensen to take a dive. Huh? Yeah, one big claim to fame is a folly, isn't it? George there's something about miss O'Neal too. Oh, wow She says she'll tell us if we promise not to repeat it What is it miss O'Neal? 20 years ago There was a young man. I Cheered so much for it We had all our plans made I Had thought he was so nice and then at the last moment Well, I I was simply forced to reject him And people were so kind so simple thank you Oh Only an uncle will Only in the will it's just the other way around you were the one who was killed And That's the way it is just like mr. McClelland won his fight by crookedness And mr.  I didn't promise you see That's why we took you in our carpet They would understand there's something you don't understand miss O'Neal a slight case of suicide on the part of one Henry freeholders But now I think I'll wait till later to find out why you were the last person to see him alive Sure as fast as I get up with this phone But what did she say about freeholder and what was the ex pump doing in her heart? Never mind, Riley Just meet me there lobby of the hotel McKinley as soon as you can make it Oh Lobby he says the place hasn't even got a lobby anymore to file a junk. Okay. Okay, the stairs are through here. Wait a second Valentine Listen to me listen before we go looking for eccentric millionaires The file boys have finished their checkup. Yeah, and there's not one single whisper of embezzlement on the whole doll's story of Henry freeholder Yeah, that's You you know it sure and the boxer never fought a dirty fight in his life not even with Tiger Jensen And it's for Francis Until Santa Claus told us the truth a long time ago. He gave us the answer to everything now come on Let's get upstairs. We got a date to pull off his beard I've lived in this room 42 years. I was the first guest in this hotel I'd made $10,000 and I I bought a charm. You told us that before mr.  I guess I my heart But I couldn't live by myself after this hotel is gone I don't see how you ever could have lived with yourself. Well, what's that? I'm talking about that fancy deal with a will Why did you hire me in the first place? I told you to see the will would go through all right You mean to make sure they understood their secrets would be publicized Oh, I know even if your sympathies were with the other people Valentine. It wouldn't make any difference You have your price too. You think every man has his price.  He was to play God No, no, no, not God, but I did play devil Valentine That silly little accountant you say killed himself freeholder willing to sell a lifelong reputation for honesty in the key the boxer who willing to sell his pride in The one big thing he ever did Francis she lives on sympathy doesn't she? Francis, but you would have made a joke of herself for money all for money every one of them Haven't you ever met anyone who did anything just out of kindness? No, you've got your eyes open. You'd see the same thing It's always money and look at these people. They've already told you the lies as though they were true They already pretended for the sake of money. I just wish there was a law that would make it legal to hang you. There isn't Anyway, I'll die soon now very soon My securities will be sealed in a box my will. It'll be probate again The publicity and someone else will know what it feels like to sell your soul for silver someone beside me The last duty called me really should increase your legacy idea Mr. Valentine I had to come There's something I must tell you. I can't keep it a secret in law. Oh uncle. I know Of course, I know How could I avoid it when I tried to help you?  Can't see she want money. That's all that's all anybody wants. Isn't it eating it? I've only tried to heal me who tried to protect you. I Didn't know you were involving anyone else in that world with me Francis But but then you you do like me for myself And I my whole life I wanted Somebody Wasn't the last guest the next to the last guest Well, miss O'Neill, I guess I owe you an apology Well, it wasn't until one second ago that I realized why you've always been so curious Why you'd followed us why you rushed around to see freeholder and had the kid over at your house I helped Steve. I had to tell Uncle used to be wealthy, you know But now those securities of his aren't worth a single ten He saw it. What's that? Yeah, Brucey The last joke of the man who played devil Okay, Brucey motive for suicide frustrated greed Freeholder had already made his choice and separated from his wife when miss O'Neill caught up with him to tell him There wasn't any toll. Oh Well, I guess I got everything Only what about kid Macintosh? He was all upset over taking the money when Francis told him there really wasn't any he stood by her helped to pretend those lies and the Will were true helped to protect the old man Protecting from what the booby hatch the old man deliberately made his worldly fortunes a nice round zero The barns were all defaulted the houses mortgaged all for one last thumb to the nose joke Oh What do you suppose makes a man be like mr. Stern? Oh, I don't know I don't know blindness I guess not being able to see the nice people who were there all the time people like Francis maybe But I bet if he weren't alone if he were happily now You aren't trying to play God. He missed Brooks. No I'm just playing And I'll succeed I Don't believe anyone planning a vacation ever said to himself now Let's see. I better figure three or four hours for engine trouble and repairs But that unhappy situation happens surprisingly often on vacation trips The best preventive I know is to start giving your car the extra protection of rpm motor oil tomorrow This premium quality oil is compounded to take care of your car's engine has no ordinary oil That possibly do rpm cleans as it lubricates Disperses sludgy carbon particles so they can't interfere with a smooth operation of close-fitting parts rpm clings to upper cylinder walls and other hot spots left bare by ordinary motor oils and when you cut your motor RPM won't rip off internal parts. It stays on the job to fight off corrosive rust No wonder rpm motor oil is first choice in the West Get it at independent chevron gas stations and at standard stations where they say and mean We take better care of your car Next week when George Valentine and Brooksy join lieutenant Riley at the scene of a violent death We'll hear Valentine.

TfNN, headline, news update.  We have silver down 70 cents, $24.27 an ounce, light sweet crude up 94 cents, $79.73 a barrel notes and bonds. A 10-year note, down a full point plus four ticks at 111 flat, the 30 are off two points plus 11 ticks at $123.27 and $Kingdala. $Kingdala not only rejected lower price out here today, but it's up 885 ticks trading $101.73, the euros at $109, the yen is at trading at a price point of $139, the British Pound is at $128 to $1 a U.S. dollar. Now check this out folks, okay. Today would have been, if the Dow had, by the way we're going to close at the lows, okay. When you get a failure like this and you've been up so many days in a row, you can expect more selling coming into the close, but check this out, this is amazing. If in fact the Dow had closed up today, that would have been the first time in 123 years that it closed up that many days in a row. How's that? Okay. Big stat, no doubt. If we go over to the S&Ps, if we take a look at the S&Ps out here, what you're going to see out here is that we had the spy got all the way, made a new high, made up there, got there $459.45, about three hours ago, four hours ago, well I guess, yeah, about noon it just starts selling off. So what you're going to get right now, we'll see what type of follow through we get on a Friday. Right now coming into the close however, bottom line, well what we did do, this gets really intriguing, we had the high volume and this is where these high volume lows and inside the tag is then, those tags they were recognized, that high volume low was out there, first it went after the high volume low, that was the 4568, we're at 4567, we're already here at 4565. That being said, my take is that you're going to get down another 10 to 20 points in this S&P. That's what normally happens, we'd have such a failure at highs, after the Fed all of the above, that's kind of just how that goes, okay, we'll see what kind of correction it's going to be, but that's normally what happens because it would be very easy to buy into that this morning. Stay right there folks, we'll come right back.
