Hey everyone, welcome back to my kitchen and welcome back to another weekly meal prep. I show you how I incorporate fresh eating along with my freezer meals that I prep every single month. And as a quick reminder, at the end of each video, I also include something for long-term food storage. This week's video is sponsored by Skillshare, I'll be sharing more about that later on in the video. I decided to prep everything by days of the week, so you have an idea of how my week is planned out.  I'm just doing ground beef and I did do two pounds of it, so we had some leftovers for some lunches. I got that going in my cast iron skillet and then I am going to attempt to make some flour tortillas. I made a comment in my last video about my long-term storage bags that I keep dry goods in and this is one of them and I do put an oxygen absorber in it as well just to be able to keep everything nice and dry and be able to buy things in bulk and then just kind of divvy it out into these bags. I am completely new to making tortillas, so if you are used to making them, I would love to hear your tips. I would like to also learn how to make corn tortillas as well, but I figured flour might be a little easier since I don't have a tortilla press. This recipe is a very simple traditional recipe and it does have a lard in it. I'll leave the recipe below and then I decided to make it in my food processor since I would be slowly adding water to it and it worked out perfectly. I know when it comes to making tortillas, it's all about how they feel and how the dough feels and I was pretty happy with the consistency of what I had going on here and I dumped it all out onto the counter to shape everything and roll out the tortillas. This recipe said that it made about 6 tortillas but since I was making taco sized, I did make them into 8 different little pieces and I think I ended up with more like 9 or 10 because I had some leftovers and I used my little oil dispenser that I love so much and I put just a little bit of oil in the pan and I did not re-oil it every time I put a new tortilla in. As I pulled them off of the pan, I did put them on some paper towels. Again, if you have tips, I'd love to hear them but I was pretty happy with how they turned out the first time around. I don't normally do taco seasoning mix, I like to do my own seasonings but this week I just decided to make it a little bit easier and throw a packet in. I did my chopping and cutting so I just cut up some tomatoes and I cut up some lettuce. I don't know about you all but I feel like if I cut lettuce with a plastic or ceramic knife I feel like it doesn't turn brown as fast as if I use a metal knife. Let me know if you do the same thing but I just got another ceramic knife. I hadn't had one for a while and they're so convenient just if you want to cut something without a metal knife. I did shred up some cheese as well and I left a little bit of flour that was left in here from making the tortillas just to help the cheese not stick to each other. Then I also will serve this with some of my home canned pickled jalapenos. They're so good and they're great on top of tacos. Tuesday I'm planning to do a wing night along with some veggie pizza. We have not done wings in a long time and wings are so simple to get in a marinade and have ready to go into your air fryer or your oven. It really doesn't matter I've done them both ways and as long as you crisp them up a little bit in the oven with the broiler when they're done they're still crispy and delicious and so I just separated the legs from the wings or drumsticks from the wings and got them into two different bags because I was going to do a hot sauce one and then we've been on a pretty big sweet baby raise kick lately so that is what I put into the other one. You could also freeze wings in a marinade like this and I've considered doing that. I may have done it a while back so that's something I want to add to my freezer meal list. Skillshare is an online learning community with thousands of inspiring classes for creators explore new skills deepen existing passions and get lost in creativity. I have personally been using Skillshare for years and I love the layout of their platform. It's curated specifically for learning meaning there are no ads and they are always launching new premium classes so you can stay focused and follow wherever your creativity takes you. Also as a busy mom another feature I love is every single class is broken into sections so I can watch small sections at a time and come back to it making it possible for me to complete full classes. Skillshare's entire catalog of classes now offers subtitles in Spanish, French, Portuguese and Dutch. They have a huge variety of class topics anything from creative writing to culinary skills which of course may interest you since you are watching a cooking video. This is the class I'm currently watching. It is indoor gardening and how to grow house plants, veggies and herbs. I know that you all will love Skillshare as much as I do. The first 1000 people to use the link in the description box will get a one month free trial of Skillshare to try out. Next I went ahead and made my vegetable pizza. This is a favor of mine. It's so delicious and I didn't realize it but apparently Pillsbury has started to make these crescent sheets. I actually grabbed four rolls of these thinking they were smaller and it's the perfect size for a 9x13 pan so I just put that in the bottom, threw that in the oven, got it baking while I cut up all of the veggies for the toppings and you can use whatever veggies you want to for this. I just kind of used what I had on hand and then along with some things I picked up. You can do shredded cheese, you can add bacon, you can get really really creative. I just simply did veggies and no meat or cheese since it's going to have a nice creamy dressing underneath. You'll want to let your crust cool down a bit and then you can go ahead and assemble your creamy layers. So I did a block of cream cheese around a tablespoon of ranch powder and then I just added enough sour cream until it got creamy. I kind of used my sour cream to smooth out the cream cheese and I am in the process of learning how to make my own sour cream so I will have to keep you guys updated on that. It seems pretty simple and I think I'm perfecting it but it is a staple in my kitchen and so I wanted to be able to make my own. Then I just went ahead and spread it all over the crust and then you just top it off with your veggies and you can store this in the refrigerator for a couple of days and it's still great. In fact I like it refrigerated at least overnight before you eat it just because it helps all of the flavors combine really well. Okay for Wednesday I'm doing a freezer meal which is shepherd's pie I'm going to use my homemade bread to make garlic bread and then I wanted to add in a pasta salad as well. So I used this pasta and I love it because it's made with chickpeas and I do try to steer. We have a mixture of things in our house. We do some dairy free things. We do some gluten free things. I know for myself I can't have too much gluten. I can have it every once in a while but it's just something that I try not to have too much of. That's why you see such a huge variety of recipes in our house. It's not like there's an allergy but just sensitivity if that makes sense and not everybody has that so I try to make a variety of things. So for this pasta salad I just made some cheese. I did some olives. I did some fresh cut tomatoes. I did a little bit of the yellow banana peppers and then I just put Italian dressing like the regular salad dressing over it, stir it all together and throw it into some containers and of course this will be used for lunches throughout the week as well. Okay so for Thursday I'm planning to do teriyaki chicken, fried rice. Those are both freezer meals that were in my last video and then I'm also doing homemade egg rolls. This was my first time making homemade egg rolls. I'm sold. We will always make these. I'm going to probably make these pretty regularly. I'm even considering canning the inside part so that we can just pull it out and make egg rolls really fast. But I just did a little bit of cabbage cut very fine. I actually got a bag of it pre-cut just because I knew I had a lot to prep this day and I wanted to do a little bit of canning today too so it was just one less thing. I added some carrots, some shredded ginger, some green onion, some pressed garlic and just stir-fried it all together with some oil, added a little bit of salt, some soy sauce and it was so delicious. And then I just got it really, really soft. I wanted the carrots to definitely be soft before I put them into the egg rolls. Okay so I'm going to be including a little bit more cast iron recipes because I've been loving my cast iron. So I just put a little bit of vegetable oil into the pan and I did save this oil so we can use it again the next time we make egg rolls which will probably be pretty soon because these are so yummy. And you just put a little bit of the filling. You can add pork to this. You can add shrimp. I just did veggie for my first try. And then you just roll them up like this and to seal the end you just want a little bit of water in a cup nearby so you can rub it across the pointy end and seal it up that way. And I was checking my oil. You do want it to be 375 degrees before you drop these in. They also fry very, very quickly and so you want to have them already if you have a big pan like this so you can fry them all at once. I almost wanted to leave the real time footage of this because it fries so fast.  You really want to pay attention to these. You cannot walk away while you are frying them and you pretty much want to turn them over plus I didn't want to over fry them because I was planning to put these in the refrigerator and then put them in the air fryer on the night that we eat these. So I didn't want them to be too dark so that they could just heat up really great in the air fryer and not burn.  I ate them with a chili sauce that you are going to see here in a minute that I picked up at Walmart but now I am totally inspired to make my own chili sauce and keep the things on hand to make these because they are so yummy. Okay so here is my plan for the rest of the week. Friday we are going to do leftovers and clean out the refrigerator. Saturday we will be burgers and potato wedges which I will use my home canned potatoes to fry those up. You just throw them in the frying pan with butter and a little bit of garlic salt and they are so yummy and then Sunday we will order food in. Alright so these are what I call my bonus items that are not meals for the week but just things to fill in between and that is some fresh veggies for eating. My girls I mentioned in my last weekly meal prep how they love cucumbers and blow through these really quickly and then I just chopped up the rest of the veggies I had from the veggie pizza. Every week I pick two fruits and we just kind of have those for the week so I did the cantaloupe and grapes this week and having it already in the refrigerator it makes it so convenient for lunches and they always tend to get a fruit and a veggie with every meal. Alright so the sweet treat for this week is my absolute favorite chocolate chip cookies.  You will see little notes that she gave for whenever I first started making these she directed which things I should mix up first so I've been making these since I was probably 10 years old and they're so yummy we cannot stay out of them when they are around and they're made with instant pudding in the mix which makes them so soft so delicious it's a tried and true recipe. The other thing that's really fun about this recipe is you can swap out that pudding for any type of pudding so you could use mint chocolate pudding you could use chocolate pudding with chocolate chips and do like a double chocolate cookie you can do Oreo pudding which I have done something similar to that before here on my channel but you can really get creative with these but just the plain vanilla with chocolate chips making a normal chocolate chip cookie oh they're so good and I did double this recipe so I had some to throw in the freezer as well. If I look really tired in this video it's because the day before this I canned 54 quarts of pickled beets we love pickled beets and then this day I did my weekly meal prep so by the time I was done with all of this I was pretty exhausted and ready to prop my feet up. Alright so now we're to our long-term food storage segment of the video and last week I showed you all how I make really easy bread and right at the end of it one of my daughters was holding the piece of bread with some of my jelly on it and I got requests can we please have your jelly recipe or jam I always say jelly because I just grew up saying that but this is technically jam because if it was jelly you would strain out all of the pulp from the strawberries which I leave it in so this is not anything sugar-free it's not anything healthy this is like your grandmother's recipe for homemade strawberry jam and I will leave it in the description box below it's got lots of sugar in it but remember you're only using a small amount of it on your bread or your waffles or whatever you're going to spread it on so just keep that in mind plus it doesn't have corn syrup in it which a lot of store-bought jams and jellies have that kind of stuff in it so this is just a good alternative to those things and canning it means that you have it on the shelf for a year or more which is really awesome so you just want to cook them up with all of the ingredients and I just you can tell just put my hands over the pot to see if it was hot you can get this to a rolling boil but honestly I was so tired after this day I just wanted to get the project done and I knew I could get away with getting it really hot and dissolving the sugar and blending it up and probably being good so you could definitely throw this in a blender if you don't have a hand blender it's just a lot less messy to just be able to put your immersion blender in and blend it all up so you'll see me chasing strawberries around because I wanted to get them all blended up and then I did let it simmer a little bit longer until I felt like the sugar was dissolved I took a spoon and just tasted some just to make sure the sugar wasn't like gritty in there but I knew that the pectin everything was dissolved so after you let it simmer just a little bit it's ready to go into the jars you want to have nice clean jars and you want to leave yourself about like an inch head space on the top of your jars I did get 24 out of this and I did about double the recipe so you can get 12 to 14 jelly jars out of this recipe and actually the whole reason I'm making this batch is I had a bunch of strawberries in the freezer and I actually already made a ton of strawberry jam this year have it down on the shelf already but I'm trying to clean my freezers out right now because I know that we've got a lot coming with summertime to go into the freezer and so this is actually strawberries that were frozen totally fine to do if you want to get strawberries out of the freezer and do something with them and so we have a lot of strawberry jam which is totally fine because it is a favorite and with me making homemade bread a lot right now we have been going through it after you have it all in the jars you just put your lids on I boil my lids first put my rings on and put it right into the water bath canner and you can can it for like 10 to 15 minutes I double layer mine so meaning I put one layer of jars and then put a second layer of jars because my canner is tall enough to do that so since I do that I do like to process them for more like 15 minutes just to make sure that they're all good in there pull them out and let them set up whenever you see me holding this jar it's actually like still not cooled at all so it does get more jelly than that it's not quite that runny but that is how I make mine it's so simple you've seen how quickly I put this together thanks a lot for watching today if you're new here don't forget to subscribe I'd love it if you joined my channel I hope this inspired you leave me a comment that always helps me out and I will see you guys in my next video


Hello, and welcome to this week's edition of Encompass Live. I am Krista Burns at the Nebraska Library Commission. Encompass Live is the Commission's weekly online event. We hold it every Wednesday morning at live at 10 a.m. Central Time. It's one-hour sessions usually, and we have all sorts of different topics, anything that we think may be of interest to librarians in the state, presentations, interviews, book reviews, tours, outside speakers. We have come in sometimes a whole mishmash of things, anything that you think may be of interest to you. This week, we have Lynn Novotny from our Technology and Access Services Department who will be talking about updates and changes to the Wilson databases. Some of you may have attended road shows, database road shows in the last month or two, so you may not have been able to. That's fine, you can get a little taste of what she was doing in those in this session. So, I am going to pass it over to Elena. Just so I don't work. Well, good morning, everybody. Just a second here where I get everything switched around. Do you want to switch to again? Well, as Krista mentioned, this morning, I want to talk about the Wilson databases, and there's been a few changes, upgrades made, but I just wanted to make sure everybody was aware about. So, I'm right now, I'm on the Nebraska Access website. I'm going to go ahead and go to the databases available to Nebraskans and click on that link. And then I'm going to go ahead and select the Wilson Omni file and just go ahead and dive right into the database. If you're not familiar with the Wilson Omni file, this database is 100% full text. It contains about 2,490 plus journals, and coverage starts about 1994. That doesn't mean every journal goes back to 1994, but you won't find anything older than 1994 in the database. The subject matters in the Wilson Omni file are quite varied. You'll have things like your time, your news week, and then you also have a lot of more scholarly journals, those kind of journal of type publications. As I said, it's quite a variety of information. I want to start off by pointing out some changes they've made to the Wilson interface. Let me, I'm going to play with the spotlighter here and see if that will help me on pointing out some of the different things. First thing you may have noticed on the blue bar across the top, you will see the search button now here. In previously to about a couple months ago, you used to have an option to search an advanced search. They have changed that now, so only the search button appears, which I think is great. I think it's a little easier to explain to people, just click on search, and then they have moved the basic and advanced search options down below, and you'll find them now right above the search box. So it's really easy to switch between the basic and the advanced search. You may also have noticed that they're kind of promoting the My Wilson web a little bit more. You'll see that on the top up here, it says sign into My Wilson web, and then again on the blue tool bar where it says My Wilson web, and I'll get into those a little bit later on and show you how My Wilson web works. Another feature that is new is the text size. Up over here in the right hand side, you can see the three different sizes of As, and then below that is the interface language. Let me jump back to my normal pointer here. So you'll notice now I can click on the different sizes of As, and it will up the font. I have to say this is probably one of the coolest features that I really like this time.  I think it's easier to read. And then below that, as I mentioned, you do have the interface language option. So you can change the interface to you can see here your choices are English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. And by the interface language, I do mean those words like here where it says advanced search or browse with a source. That's what we mean by the interface, so that is an option. And please, if you have any questions, don't worry about interrupting me. Go ahead and just type them into the chat box. I'll be glad to stop it and explain anything. I just kind of briefly want to go over the search screen again in case you're not familiar with it. You'll notice at the top, we do have the search boxes here where you can type in your search. By default, the all smart search is selected. If you don't want to do a smart search, you do have other options. You can do keywords, titles. Another one that a lot of people may find useful is the journal name. So if someone does bring in a citation with a particular journal name, you can limit your search to a particular journal. Working my way down the screen, you can see we have an option to limit to dates. Below that, we can limit to a particular document type or a physical description. Then over on the right, a couple other limited options. The one I want to make sure I pointed out here is the expand option. That says also search within the full text of articles for extra results. By default, Wilson does not search the full text of all the articles. But this feature can be really useful if you are doing a search on a particular topic that you're just not really getting very many results. It's great to try expanding your search to search the full text. A lot of times you can find some hits that way. Just a second, I have a chat question coming in. I'll have to open that up quick. The question is, when we do a search, what are some key points in using the advanced search? Personally, I like the advanced search just because it gives me a little bit more control of what I'm searching. For example, it's nice to be able to limit it to the different dates. Also, I like the fact that I have multiple search boxes. I can easily enter in multiple terms and combine them. Then also, I really like, I think, the search, the subject area can be useful. And that was the last thing I wanted to show you on the screen here. So let me, it's over here at the bottom. I'll come back to that chat question in just a second. I wanna point out the subject area search over here on the right-hand side. What this will do is limit your search to a particular subject area. In the subjects here, you can see we have things like art, business, there's education. Education can be useful if you have teachers working on maybe an advanced degree. And so they're a research particular topic and they wanna limit it to the area of education. Library and Information Science, of course, is available if you are working on your degrees. But the one I really wanna make sure folks realize over here is the Readers Guide Current Events. This is gonna limit your search to your current event magazines. This works great if you are working with students and the results that you are getting are kind of a little bit too high level for them. You're getting a lot of those kind of journal of type publications that are just a little, like I said, over their head. The Readers Guide Current Events will bring back more of your times, your news weeks, and those type of magazines that will probably have a little bit easier time understanding. I'm gonna go jump back to the chat now and there's another question out here. The question was, please remind me what smart search actually is looking at when it's searching. I don't have the full description in front of me right now. I should have brought it with, I didn't think about it. But it does actually search for things like your titles and the descriptions, the subject that had been assigned to it. And then it also assigns relevancy ranking to it. And so when we look at the search results, you'll see a little percentage in front of each of your results. And that percentage tells you is how it's ranked within the all smart search. Of course, the higher the ranking, the more relevant the system thinks your search results are. And I also wanna point out, in each of those groupings, for example, if you have a number of search results that have been assigned to 90%, the system automatically sorts those by date. So you'll have the newest one on the top of your results. And so again, if you had some group that are 80%, again, that's gonna sort it with the newest of the 80% on top. Before I go on, does that answer everybody's questions or do you have more questions for me? Well, I'm gonna go ahead now and perform a search. I'm gonna have to clear my search screen here, make sure things back where it is. I'm just gonna do a really simple search here for Roger Welch. And there's a few things now I wanna point out on the search results screen. Let me grab back my spotlighter here. Let's see. I just wanna point out over here on my search results real quickly, you can see these 80% and these 70%. Those are the percentages that I was talking about for the all smart search. A few other items that are new on this screen, I'm gonna make sure I point out is over here on the right, you can now jump from your results page either by number or if you have a particular page number you want to jump to that can be useful. I was just helping someone on the phone the other, actually yesterday and it was really nice to have that option because we were looking at different results screens and it was nice to be able to tell the person, you know, I'm on page 10 of the results and you can easily just pop that number in there and go right to that page. So you may not use a lot but when you need it, it definitely will come in handy. Let's see, a few other things on this screen I wanna make sure I point out is this link over here to RSS feed. How many of you, do any of you use RSS? Yeah, one yes. Well, so probably really oversimplify RSS. It's just a way of bringing information from multiple locations to one place. So that way, you don't have to go out and look at multiple websites to see the information. The information is gathered for you into one place. I'm not gonna go into too much detail about RSS but if you guys have questions about RSS later, give me a call, I'd be glad to help explain it to you. I just wanted to point out the fact that in Wilson you now have the options to create RSS feeds for your searches. So if I wanted to, I could click on this RSS feed option. It's gonna pop up a little window here and what it's gonna do now is create an RSS feed for me. I can tell it, how often do I want the feed? How long do I want the feed to continue? I'll just leave it at one month. I can create my alert. It usually takes a couple of seconds here.  So I just went ahead and clicked on the feed URL. So if you actually using an RSS reader, you could grab this URL and just pop it into your reader and you'd be good to go. So then anytime the system would automatically run the search for you and every time there's new results, it would just be sent to your RSS reader. This is a really great option if you have students who are actually working on their paper ahead of time. Okay, I know that's probably pretty slim that that would actually happen, but it is an option. The other option, it could be useful if you have someone in your community that maybe has a particular health issue. They wanna stay on top of that health issue. And so then they can set up an RSS. Okay, oh, just a second here, let me. All right, everybody said they couldn't see the RSS. So let me back up and show it to you again. I just went ahead and clicked on the RSS feed link. Now, do you guys see the second Wilson page? Okay. All you have to do here is I said before is select the frequency. How often do you want the feed to be checked monthly, weekly, or daily? And then you have a set of duration. So maybe if you know your paper's gonna be over in three months you could just set it to a three month duration or if it's another topic, maybe one at a year. You can go ahead and create alert. And I'm just gonna go ahead and click on the URL for the alert and bring up the next window here that actually will show you what the feed looks like. So if you're using an RSS reader, all you have to do is grab the URL at the top of the screen and just copy and paste it into your reader and then you would have the feed available to you in your RSS reader. Yeah, I think there's, someone mentioned that this could be helpful for students with learning needs, yes. I think there's tons of applications for the RSS feed. Another option I just wanted to point out to you as I'm closing the windows here is that I could have also done a search on a particular journal name. For example, Sports Illustrated is included in the database. I could have just done a search on Sports Illustrated and set up an RSS feed. So every time new articles from Sports Illustrated are added to the database, they would be sent to my RSS feed. I think that covers what I wanted to talk about with RSS feeds. Does anybody have any questions about them? As I said, if you're not familiar with what RSS is, just give me a call and I'd be glad to explain it. That could probably take another hour, so I don't wanna get into too much detail right now. Well, I'm just gonna go on in and talk about some more items here. You'll see, here's my first results. I wanna point out, it's how I lost my tombstone from the Nebraska Life Magazine. And you'll see under it, I have a few options. I have my full text HTML. There's the full text PDF. So clicking on either of those would bring up the full text. I have the option to save it to my Wilson Web, which I'll come back and talk about in a few minutes. And then you'll see this new little icon here that looks like a speaker. That's what I wanna talk about next. But I'm not actually gonna click on that. I'm just gonna go ahead and click on the title right now and bring up the article. Excuse me. So you can see now, here I have the full text of the article. And what I wanna show you is this option available now to hear the audio. So what this actually is going to do is a mechanical voice that will read the full text of this article to you. And I have to admit, we haven't tried this yet. We're just kinda going in and just trying and hopefully it'll work today. So after I get started, if someone could let me know that it works, that would be really great. Do you wanna turn off the volume? Yeah. Author, Roger Welch. Title, How I Lost My Own Toon Stop.

In my long life, I've lost one of just about everything. Lovely Linda notes on her yearly calendar the one days 16 years ago when I actually found my own billfold. I once lost a pecan pie and unforgetable lapsed as far as I'm concerned. I found it months later in the pie saber on top of the refrigerator. Who would have thought to look in a pie saber for a pie? Well, I think I just said it personal best. I lost my Toon Stop. It's a long story. I'll try to make it short. Well, that was the male voice and I'll come to the questions just a second here. I just wanted to give you a, so you could hear the female voice too. Roger Welch. Title, How I Lost My Own Toon Stop. Source, Nebraska Life 13.0342, my June 2000. A couple other things before I go back and answer the questions. I know there's a couple of them hanging out there. I just also wanted to mention about the audio. It is available for all the different articles and you'll notice here that there's an option to download the audio. That means you can actually download an MP3 and if you have a little MP3 player you can transfer the MP3 from your computer to your player. So you can take the articles with you and listen to it. As we're going out on the road show, there's tons of different ways people mentioned that how they could use this. A number of people mentioned how great this would be for students that have maybe some learning disabilities and have a hard time reading the articles and be able to listen to them. I have to admit I have a stack of reading material on my desk that gets higher every day. Sometimes I find it nice to just go into the database here and I can pull up the actual article I'm interested in and just listen to it. That way I can kind of multitask and do something at the same time as I'm listening to my article. I probably should admit this on a taped and recorded session but one day I was listening to another article by Roger Welsh and it was all talking about the different towns in Nebraska and how you pronounce the different names. He was talking about how you pronounce Dan and Brog and Beatrice, et cetera, et cetera. I was so into listening to the article, I was so intently listening to see how they pronounced the names so I could get them correct and then I realized it was a mechanical voice and how they pronounced them really probably didn't matter but I was really into the story so. I'm gonna go back to the text chat real quick here. I know there's a couple other questions here. Someone asked a few minutes earlier here about is the alert feature just a note sent to your email and that answer is yes. So how I would set up that search and I showed you for the RSS feed, there is an email option. I just didn't point that out because it's been around for years but yes, you can have the alert sent to you as an email and just like you wouldn't, I mean, it works the same way sort of as the RSS, it's the same type of option so. There was a question before that about. Was there another? Yeah, another question I didn't get to was speaking about that is there a list of magazines included. Yes, there is. I will show you that in just a moment. I wanna point a couple of things out on this screen before I move away from it then I will show you where the list of journals are. If you have any other questions, please keep typing them in. I will try to keep watching to form and make sure I get them all answered. On the screen, there are a couple other things as I mentioned I wanted to point out. One of them is the options to translate the document. Clicking on this will open another window which I think you should be able to see now. You'll see at the top here you do have this little dropdown box. So I can pick, well, I'll see what Japanese looks like. And I've had many people answer this or ask me this. No, you cannot listen to the article in a foreign language. It's just the translates the text and you have to be able to read it. Yeah, personally I won't be able to read that one so. And you just have to assume that it's correct. Yeah. And then the other item I want to make sure people are aware of on this screen is the site option over here on the right-hand side. This is great if you're working on a paper and you just cite an article. You can see now it brings up and shows you how to properly cite the article.  I'm gonna go ahead and, well, actually, the question was asked before about a list of journals and you'll see up here in the blue bar where it shows journal directory. Clicking on that will bring you a list of the journals that are available in the database.  You can scroll down and see here's the list of them. It's quite a long list so you do have the alphabet at the top and the bottom. They're to jump you to a particular letter that we just randomly grab one here. Clicking on it will show you which issues are available. Doesn't look like this one is published too often. Clicking on any of the issues will take you to the full text of that magazine then. And then you can individual an issue. Any other questions that I haven't addressed yet? If not, I'm gonna go ahead and jump in and show you the My Wilson Web area. So I'm gonna go ahead and click on My Wilson Web and I already have an account created. I'm sure that doesn't come as a surprise but there is a new count option here if you need to set up an account. And you'll notice I have the option here to load my preferences from My Wilson Web when I log in, checked. So you'll notice now as I log in, hopefully. You'll see now that I'm logged in that the interface has changed orange. Now that's just something I had set up in my customized interface. You have a couple different places you can do a customized interface. I chose to do it as part of my Wilson Web so every time I log on, my customization appears. If you don't have an account, you still do have the customized display option available at the top of your screen. Now granted, changing my screen to orange really not a big deal by any means. You can see down here on the left I have the option of having a blue, a green, a red, or an orange screen. I just chose a different color so I could just visually see that I'm logged on to my account. There's a few other options here. The one that I think is probably the most useful for me is the record display options. This controls the number of records per page. By default, you only see 10 items per page. Personally, I like to see more so I've up to 50. I find that really useful when I have to look through a number of results until I find the exact articles I'm looking for. I just like to be able to scroll through 50 at a time instead of just doing 10 next page, 10 next page, et cetera, et cetera. So that's the real option that I like here. You do have other options over here on the right where you can select which fields are gonna be included in your results. Again, you may wanna play with those and see what you like or don't like. I wanna turn off or turn on. For example, maybe you don't care if you see the ISN every time. But like I said, the one I really find useful is the number of items displayed per page. So I'm gonna go ahead and just kinda move on and show you what else is available in my Wilson web. You'll see the first option is save searches. The system allows you to save searches. So then anytime you log back into my Wilson web, all you can do is click on Run Search and it will rerun the search for you. This can be nice if there's a particular topic you are researching, you always wanna come back and see if there's new articles. It's an easy way to do it.  Then after the search is run, you'll need to go to your search history. So here is my search history and I'll just take a look at my, the first search I ran that number, search number one, the Roger Wells search. And you'll see underneath of it here now I have a link that says save search to my Wilson web. So just clicking on that and I can add a name to it if I want and hit save. So now, when I go back to my Wilson web, back to my save searches, you can see here my search, that I just named Roger has been saved.  Below that on the left hand side is saved alerts. When I showed you how to set up that RSS feed, I wasn't logged into my account. If I had been logged into my account, it would take that saved alert that I created and add it to this list here. You don't have to do that by any means. It is nice though, because now I can just kinda look through the page and I can see all the different alerts that I have saved. Also, if I'm changing RSS readers, I can easily come in here and grab the URLs to the feed again and just go ahead and plop them into my new reader. So that's nice. Below that then you have a saved article option. So this allows you to save your articles. And what they've recently added is the option to create folders. So you can create different folders and kind of organize your saved items. This can be useful of course, if you're working on multiple papers, there's multiple topics you're researching. It's really easy to create a new folder. You can see I'm very creative with my folder names and I can create my folder. So now all I have to do to move my items to the folder, I can just go ahead and select an article name. I can select multiple if I wanted to. And I select move to, whoops, and my folder. And now you can see that this is my new folder now has one item in it. You can see I have already had two other folders here. Here's one on photography that says it has four items. I can just click on the folder name and now you can see the four articles that were included in that folder. And I should just mention real quickly here that my Wilson web actually works with the Wilson OmniFile database that we're looking at now. And it's also available in the Wilson Biographies database that I'm gonna talk about in just a couple minutes if I hurry up here so we don't run out of time. And I just mentioned that because you can see here my six items, I also have two biography entries here. And so they all kind of get dumped into one spot. So that could be another reason you would like folders. And the last item I wanted to point out with my Wilson web is my notes. Now I have to admit, I haven't come up with a great use for my notes yet. Basically all you do is over here you say create new notes. I can enter, this is the note subject. And I can put my text here. I don't know, one use I've thought of is maybe if you are searching on a topic and you're using a whole lot of different words that may mean the same thing or different, you're just trying very different approaches to find the same topic. Maybe you wanna leave yourself a note saying that okay, I've looked for, I've used tried this search term, I've tried this search term, I've tried this search term already. Maybe next time I have time to get on the database maybe I'll wanna try this term or this term. Something like that may work. As I think my other note here said that I did at one of the other road shows is I'm still having a hard time coming up with a good example and if you come up with a great example I'd love to know about it. But I did wanna point it out there because it is kind of a nice feature I think. As soon as I find a really great use for it. That is just the basics I wanted to point out about the OmniFile, I just wanted to highlight some of the new enhancements and stuff. I want to switch, I know my time is running a little short here. I wanna make sure, excuse me, that I have a chance to get in and show you the Biography Reference Bank Select database. Before I get out of this database and switch to that one, does anybody have any questions for me? It's hard to tell if the class is still awake when you can't see them. But I haven't logged out yet, so that's. Oh. That's something. You're awake, okay. Okay, well. The question was asked, I've not used the export site feature. What are sites exported to? The item that they're talking about here, let me go back to a real deep search for dogs. See, there's an export option here, or there's actually a site in an export here. In order to use those, you would need to have to use other pieces of software to like refworks, end notes, and a bibliographic software. I have to admit, I have never played with any of those, but if those are pieces of software that you're familiar with, or students, your patrons use, then that would be a function you'd want to go ahead and get in and play with. The next question here was, do you have to get out of my Wilson Web to do another search? No, you do not have to get out of Wilson Web. My Wilson Web to do another search, as you saw, I just did that search on dogs, and I'm still logged in. Actually, if you want, you can log into my Wilson Web, and you start searching and staying until you're done. There is a sign out option here. So when you are done, if you want to sign out, you can. And you can see now my screen jumped back to blue, because that's the default colors, and I had mine set up to show orange. Well, I don't think any more questions came in, so I'm gonna go ahead and jump back to Nebraska Access, and I'm gonna go to the list of databases again, and I'm gonna go ahead and select the Wilson Biographies database this time. I don't know how many of you have realized this. We have sent out an email about this change that took place, but back in, I believe it was July 1st. It's been a couple months now, I think. We've actually switched which biography database we are using. We used to have biographies plus illustrated, and we now switched to the Wilson Biography Reference Bank Select. Honestly, using the database, you probably would not even have noticed that we switched unless we've told you. It looks and acts pretty much the same way. Basically, I think Wilson was trying to sort of phase out the other database, so they are the ones that asked us to make the switch to this database. It covers 246,000 individuals. There's about 36,000 images. According to their information, the database grows by about 1,000 or so profiles a year. Of course, I have no way to actually check on that one, but that is what their documentation says. And just like the biographies plus database we've had in the past, with the Biography Reference Bank Select, the articles and information in this database are taken from a lot of the other Wilson paper resources you're probably used to, like your current biography, your world author series, Nobel Prize winners. And you'll see this when I get in and I show you one of the entries for a person. I just want to show you a few things on the search screen here to start with. You can see that, again, we have a search box here. And you can see now, they have kind of recently added this line underneath this fine box. This is for the most precise results, type lastname comma firstname. So just try to keep that in mind. It's really hard for me. I still keep doing it just any way I feel like, but you do get better research results if you try to remember to type it in lastname firstname. But the other thing I really like about this database is you don't need to know the name of a person to do a search. If you don't know the name of a person, you have a number of options down here below that could be useful. First of all, there's date of birth and date of death. So if you want, you can enter and find all people that were born on a specific day or within a specific time range. I think you can also bring up all the people that have died in a specific time range or on a specific date. You know, it's always fun to go out and see who was born on the same day as you. So if you haven't done that one, yeah, might wanna try it. Below that then, there's professions, place of origin and gender. Let me switch back here to my other pointer. You can see here, it doesn't look like a drop-down box in the professions and activity, but as soon as you start typing, you will see a list that comes up here. So if I wanted scientists, I could select scientists. I could leave everything else blank and do a search and start my search, and it would bring back all the scientists in the database. Same thing with place of origin. This is both countries and states. So maybe I wanted to do Nebraska. So I could just do place of origin in Nebraska and find everybody from Nebraska. I was born in Nebraska, or I could combine it with scientists so I could find all the scientists from Nebraska. Like I said, there's many ways to do searches without actually knowing the name of the person. And I can't forget down here, the male female option. So if you have students in a particular, only wanna do a report on a little boy or a little girl, you can have that option too, so. I am going to clear my results, and I'm gonna do a search for Walter Cronkite. So you can see now, it brought up my result for Walter Cronkite, and this is just bringing up the one record for Walter Cronkite, which is great. So I'm gonna go ahead and click on his name. There's a few things I wanna point out on the screen. Up here on the right-hand side, we still have the site option available. So if your students need help citing this entry, they can have it right there. The listen to document option is available also in the biography, so you can listen to the biography. You also have the translate option. You can see this particular document that we're looking at right now is an obituary from current biography. It's a fairly decent length one. At the bottom, you'll see we have additional photos of him. Clicking on any of the photos will make them larger. I'm gonna point the information on the left-hand side of screen here. You can see it gives his birth and death dates. Right now we're looking at the current biography, but you'll see under the biographies heading, we also have a current biography from 75. There's a current biography from 56. Any one of these I can click on and bring up the full type biography. You can see this biography is pretty lengthy. I personally find it interesting to go back and read some of these older biographies, see what people are doing in 56 and just think about how they've changed and what else has happened during their lives between maybe the 56 biography and the 75 biography. Then what else has changed to what we thought about them in their finally, in their obituary. Below that, then you'll also see there's an entry here from the Hutchinson Encyclopedia Biography of 2000. And then the chamber is a bibliographical dictionary from 1997. Again, those are all full text, so you can click on any one of them to see the full text. Then the final area down here is other materials. This is gonna contain articles about the person, articles by the person, books about the person and books by the person. Now, which one of those are four available? Will it depend on the person? Of course, if they didn't write any books, then there would be no books there. Same thing if nobody has written books about them, there are no books will show up there. I'm just gonna go ahead and click on the most recent articles. And you can see here now it looks like nobody's really written about Walter Cronkite too recently. The latest one here is from actually 2007 from a broadcasting in cable. This looks like the name of the magazine. And again, we have the full text of all these articles. So we have the option of clicking on them and reading the full articles. And again, you can see the sound icon is carried through, so again, you're able to listen to the articles. I think that's the main points I wanted to show about this database. I know that was a really quick overview, but I wanna make sure you got out of here on time. Before we wrap it up for the day, do you guys have any questions for me about the biography database or the Wilson OmniFile database? Well, it doesn't look like it, so I just wanna say thanks for coming in. I will let Krista wrap it up then. Okay. Let's see if we can make it. Is it been great enlightening? Good job. Yes, if you don't have any more questions right now for Elana, that's fine. You can contact her afterwards. We've got her email, our email 800 number up here, so please feel free. With any, if you do come up with any questions or things you wanna ask about the Wilson, both Wilson databases. So that will wrap it up for today's Encompass Live. We hope you'll join us again next week when our Tropic Atopic will be Twitter Tips and Tricks. Two weeks ago, we did a basic intro to using Twitter and we decided there's a lot to it and a lot of questions that people had, so we're going to do a kind of an advanced, like, the next step. You've already got your account, you've been using it for a little while, you've been following people, they're following you, but what else can you do with it? So that is going to be our topic for next week. Thank you very much for attending and we'll see you next time. Bye-bye.


The Mutual Broadcasting System proudly presents the new series of Mr. District Attorney. Mr. District Attorney, Champion of the People, Defender of Truth, Guardian of our Fundamental Rights to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. Mr. District Attorney transcribed, starring J. Jostam in the title role, Len Doyle as Harrington and Vicki Bola as Ms. Miller. And it shall be my duty as District Attorney not only to prosecute to the limit of the law all persons accused of crimes perpetrated within this county, but to defend with equal vigor the rights and privileges of all its citizens. In a moment, Mr. District Attorney and the forgery-proof note. But first, if you're a teenager or older, you can play a vital part in the defense of our country. How? By joining the Ground Observer Corps. The ground observers have been set up to supplement the radar defenses of our country. If we're not to be caught unprepared, we must act now. The ground observers are located on the east and west coasts and in the northern middle west. When the ground observer system is extended to the rest of the country, 300,000 more volunteers will be needed. Now, these volunteers contribute a few hours of their spare time each week and average about four hours as usual. All Americans from teenage up are eligible to become sky watchers.  If Los Angeles, Chicago or New York were attacked, it would affect every farmer in North Dakota and minor in Montana. So why don't you join the Ground Observer Corps? Write or telephone your nearest civil defense center. This message was brought to you as a public service. Seven floors below the District Attorney's office is the police laboratory for the county. It is here that a state-employed chemist and spectrograph expert bends over his work with nerve-wracking concentration. Jake Malmeister is alone with his work, except for the unauthorized person who stands at his elbow watching. Jake, it's sensational.  You've upset me. Jake Malmeister is working over a highly polished copper plate that has been coated with a thin film of wax. Etched into the wax is a design which appears legally only on the front of $10 bills issued by the United States Treasury. When Jake Malmeister completes the last hair-fine scroll on the picture of Alexander Hamilton, he lays down his engraving tool. There. You've finished, Royga. Even I'm wrong to put them to bed. What a setup. Right in the police laboratory. Equipment, acid, microscopes. I tell you, Jake, it's sensational. A setup on my work. Jake, don't I always say you're an artist? Too often? Well, you are. Yes, I know. Did you ever hear of the famous four-joy proof-hundred mark note in German? No. It was in 1915. It was my design tool. But this is even finer. You're the best, Jake. The best there is. It is not sorry why the state hires me as laboratory expert. Sure, sure, Jake. But now, Royga, suppose we discuss payment. Half now and half when the plates are delivered. When can we start printing? The plates will go into the after bath tomorrow night. Couldn't you finish them now? Oh, please. It's after midnight. I'm tired. And I... I need a drink. Yes.  Pay me, Royga. Now. Okay. Twenty-five-hundred now. Twenty-five-hundred more when you deliver the plates. Thank you, Royga. You have everything else? Shovers set up in eight key cities. The paper is particularly good. How did you get it? That's my secret. In oil forgery cases of banknotes or bills, this usually is the paper that is wrong. You can always find somebody who will get you anything provided you can pay for it. Think of it, Jake. Twenty-four thousand dollars a day. Yes. Day after day after day.  I am an artist. I'm not a crook. Splitting hairs, aren't you? I was commissioned to do a work of art for a fee. That is all. This work of art is right. I never figured a forgery could be this perfect. Forgery? This is not a forgery. This is an exact copy. Perfect and flawless. They will never be detected. They are not just identical with the real thing. They are the real thing. By the way, Chief, what keeps Jake Malmite here so late? He worked last night until after midnight. And what were you doing out until after midnight, Miss Money? Oh, look, I came past the building in a cab on my way home from the theater. The lights in the police lab were on. I saw Jake through the window as he was leaving. As a matter of fact, I'm worried about Malmite here. He's been a lot of help to me in a lot of cases. Oh, worried, Chief? Well, he's been drinking on the job. Harington caught him a couple of times last month. Oh, people who are frustrated sometimes do drink. And very soon. And this last week, I've been piling work on him. All the documents from the Reorden case say nothing, a couple of hundred infrared photographs of the powder marks on the girl's clothing.  Say, Chief, you know, you work so hard yourself that sometimes you forget other people aren't able to keep up with you. Now, there's nothing helps a man's morale like a little pat on the back now and then. It's five o'clock. Let's go down to the lab and say good night to Jake. Okay, let's go. Well, Chief, I guess he quit early tonight. I don't see him around anywhere. Fine detective, fine detective, you are, Miss Millie. What do you mean? Well, there's his hat and coat. He's probably gone out for a quick one. Say, have you ever taken a good look at his books? Oh, never have. Yeah, take a look at this. Photography, my polarized light and differentiation of inks and their fluoride and sulfate migration. College. Forensic chemistry and charred documents. Mezzo, tin and gravers to 1850. Well, quite a reader, isn't it? Say, look at this one, the life of Rembrandt. The life of Rembrandt in a police laboratory. Poor Jake. Yes, he wanted so much to be an artist that he... What, Chief? He's hollowed out the inside pages of this book. Look. Chief, there's something hidden in here. A wrapped in cotton. Why, they're plates. Hey, Miss Millie, look, look at these. Well, what are they? They're even possessing these things as illegal. They're plates for $10 bills. Chief, you don't mean that Jake... oh, no. It's incredible. It's fantastic. You mean Jake was... he was going to print them? There's the answer to your overtime. That's why he works late. Oh, I just can't believe it. Why, Jake's our friend. He's a brilliant man and he's helped us so many times. Yeah, wrap these up, Miss Millie. And take them up to my office and lock them in my desk. All right, Chief. Quick, before Jake comes back. Well, what are you going to do? Well, this concerns my own staff. I'm going to try to handle it quietly. Hurry, Miss Millie. Well, Chief, maybe it's just a hobby. So is blue beards.  I want to talk to Jake Malmeister alone. Yes, sir. But, Chief... Yes? Please give him a chance to explain. You'll have to explain to the treasury boys. Hello, Harrington. Say, if something's happened, come down to the lab, will you? No, no, finish that up. About 20 minutes is fine. Wrong? Yes, yes, I think so. Oh, and listen, send your stenographer over to the personnel department, bring down Jake Malmeister's records. Yes, do that, will you? And hurry it up, will you, Harrington? Right. Good evening, sir. Hello, Jake. It's been a long time since I have had a visit from the district attorney. Usually, I copy your office, don't I? Yeah. You've been drinking again, Jake? Well, maybe just... You've been looking over your life of Rembrandt. You... What? Relax. Relax, Jake. They're gone. There. Miss Miller has... Give them to me, they're mine, mine!  Relax, will you? They're mine, mine! Water plates for $10 bills doing in this building. Well, I... That's a federal offense, Jake, even possessing them, you know? Like a commentator, if you steer... Put that bottle down. Don't be crazy. Do you want to get hurt? Do you? Don't make things worse than they are. Do you? I didn't... Mr. District Attorney continues in just a moment, but first... There's something in the air, something new and mutual there. Star names and stellar productions are adding their shine to the glittering roster of outstanding entertainment on your mutual station. Such famous luminaries as Madeleine Carroll, Arlene Francis and Betty Clooney bring you programs that run the gamut from serious drama to gay humor to popular music. And that's not all, not by far. There are Sir Cedric Hardwick, Peter Laurie, David Ross, Duncan Hines, Edward Arnold, Jay Justin and George Sanders as well. So many stars are almost breathtaking. And you'll find the kind of programming they bring you is breathtakingly different, too. Their shows on Mutual are new in many ways. You'll find they add a brand new slant to your concepts of entertainment, but that's not all either. Your own favorite time-tested stories and characters are not neglected. So, remember, it's your mutual station that has something different. Stay tuned throughout the day, throughout the week, and here for yourself over most of these stations.  Donk hit me. I came right to your hotel. What are you slugging for? I don't know. You're drunk. No. Well, where are they? Where are those plates? The girl has them. His assistant. Who is she? Her name is Miller. I couldn't help it. When he said the plates were gone, I lost my head. Yes. What did you do with him? I dragged him into the dark room and locked the door. You didn't kill him? No, no, no. But they mean I'd find him until morning. Yes, I don't know. I'm so upset. All right, all right. Where does this Miller dame live? Can you take me to her? Yes, she has my apartment. Does she live alone? Yes. All right. Then let's go see her. I've got ways of making people talk, especially women who live alone. Well, Harrington, I don't know where he is. I just got home myself. I left him in Jake's Malmeister's office. Sure. Yeah, that's where he told me to come when I got married left. Well, he may have gone out with Jake. Oh. There's been some trouble. Trouble? Yeah, trouble with Jake, but I know the chief's all right. Jake Malmeister couldn't hurt a fly. Yeah, was Malmeister drunk? Say, Harrington, there's somebody at the door. I'll call you back. And don't worry. I'm coming. What? Why, Jake? Miss Miller, I'm in terrible trouble. If you're going from the chief. Why, no, Jake. I thought he was with you. This is a friend of mine, Miss Miller, Mr. Royger. How do you do? Well, Jake, what is it? Can I help you? Miss Miller, please. Could we talk to you for a minute, please? We have both worked for him for such a long time, and I'm in terrible trouble. Well, of course, Jake. Come in. Thank you. Okay, Jake. Lock it. Lock it? Say, Jake, what is this? Who are you? Now look here. You unlock that door this instant or I'll... Miss Miller, you make one move.  I want those plates. Royger, you said...  But you promised you wouldn't hurt her. Miss Miller, I want those plates.  All right, Miss Miller, where are they? I'm gone. Miss Miller, I'm not... Pull him down, don't hit her. She's my friend. Well, she'll be dead if she doesn't talk. Now listen, Miss Miller, I'm what's known as a con man. All my born days, I've needed money.  I haven't got those plates. That's all I have to say.  He did. Please, Miss Miller, tell us. I don't want him to hurt you anymore. See, it's taken me a long time, Miss Miller, but at last I found an artist. I got a whole organization set up already to push those bills. So I want those plates, Miss Miller, and I'm going to get them. Are you... You're going to talk in the next 10 minutes. Or, baby, you're never going to talk again, ever. I'm going out in your kitchen and put on a kettle. You know what happens to a lobster. Or, baby, have you any idea what I can do to you with boiling water? We'll return to Mr. District Attorney in just a moment. Some like it hot with the fierce clash of man's war against crime and some like it cold with the dedicated purpose of a vigilant fight against evil and some like it with a touch of the unknown, but practically everybody likes a good mystery and Mutual brings programs to suit any preference. There's Counter Spy, the spine-tingling exploits of David Harding in his everlasting battle to preserve our country's security. High Adventure star is the adventure hero George Sanders while Bulldog Drummond presents the suave and sophisticated private detective played by Sir Cedric Hardwick. And with his own unique brand of hair-raising narration, Peter Laurie brings Nightmare. With great stars and great shows, you can't go wrong when you dial Mutual for mystery. Walk hand in hand with suspense, danger, and intrigue. Here, Counter Spy, High Adventure, Bulldog Drummond and Nightmare every week over most of these stations. What have I gotten her into? Yes, hello. At the District Attorney? That's right. Want to talk about Miss Miller? Yes. Want to keep her alive? Of course I do. Play it smart. If I have to? Believe me, smart boy, there's no other way. You pull the racket-busting routine on me and your girl Friday, you'll get it. I'm not fooling. I know you're not. So, you'll cooperate? I'll cooperate. Be on the 315 train for Bennington City tomorrow afternoon. That's Sunday. I know the days of the week. I learned them in school. Yeah, but did you learn what's good for you? I think so. All right, sit in the last car on the north side next to the windows. If you're alone and everything looks on the level, I just might sit beside you. But if you're not alone... Yes. Well, let's put it this way, Mr. DA. You double-cross me and your girlfriend will be of no use to anybody except an undertaker. Hello. Hello. I'm the district attorney. Hello. Mind if I sit down? Go ahead. Nice. Anyone want to get right to the point? It's usually the quickest way. I had to use some boiling water on your girlfriend. That shakes you, doesn't it? Yes. Smart kid, isn't she? I think so. Works her a long time, hasn't she? Yes. Well, if you want to see her again, no funny stuff. You get it? Got it. You gave her the plates in Malmite's office. Right. She took them to your office, locked them in the desk. Right again. They still there? Now, where? In my pocket. Mr. Alexander Hamilton's picture is pressed against my heart right now. Can I have them? Why not? Here. Wrapped in my handkerchief. Guaranteed and not even scratched. You do think a lot of this Miller Dame, don't you? Yes, I do. You should do. Hey, there's only one plate here. That's right. Where's the other one? Check checked. You know, in a check room. The main baggage check room on the ground for the railway station. And the claim check. In an envelope. I mailed it. Where to? To the district attorney's office.  I get by. When Miss Miller walks into my office, I'll give you the claim check. It's sort of life insurance. At the moment, neither one of us can get the plate. That makes Miss Miller a lot safer, doesn't it? Could be.  I know exactly what your next move will be. Character, aren't you? In fact, I kind of like you. I'll see you again. Yeah. I'll call you. Don't worry. Don't you? So long. Oh, uh, if I'm giving me back that handkerchief, Miss Miller gave it to me. Sentimental value. Yeah, sure. Yeah. Thanks. Too bad I can't trust you. You have no other choice. When Miss Miller is safe, you will get that claim check. Take it or leave it. I may leave it. Let's stay close to your phone tonight. Harrington, I haven't much time. I've got to do this my way. Okay, Chief, you're the boss. Um, this man's smart and ruthless. He may not fall for it. He may kill Miss Miller anyway. But Harrington, I'm not taking any chances. When I'm ready for help, I'll ask for it. Okay. Now, rush that handkerchief through fingerprinting. It'll show fine traces of copper filings. If they use a 10% solution of silver nitrate, dry it in the dark room and photograph it, they should get a good crimp. Now, get with it. Thank you. I have to go. I don't want to be beaten to the kill. Oh, boy. Yes, sir. Is this the main check room in the station? Yes, sir. You work here all the time? Yes, sir, I do. Are you interested in a thousand dollars? Really? Maybe. There's a parcel I want. Checked here? Yes, small one, about a soul by soul. Want to let me look for it? I got a thousand bucks and small bills in this pocket. It's yours for ten minutes in that check room. How about it? Ah, I found that wall. Take the first turn to the left. We'll see a door marked check room keep out. It's the back way in. The door open? It will be in 30 seconds. Look around in the first three stalls. That's why anything's small would be. The other stalls are for luggage. I just went in and took it. How do you like that, Jake? Oh, I got it. I'm worried. He gave it to me just like that. Show you what money will do. I want to get out of here. This house is too lonely, too isolated. I'm worried. That's too bad. Do you need a drink? I wish this had never happened. Any trouble with Miller while I was gone? No, she's still locked into almost there. We have to get rid of her, Jake. You mean kill her? Where to? She knows you. She knows me. She knows this house. She works for the district attorney.  There's only one way to keep her quiet. Oh, my God. I cannot have anything to do with killing. Well, you don't have to actually do it. What? You'll have to take the rap. You see, Jake, I want things to quiet down. They have to before I can start printing those bills. So somebody has to be thrown to the womb. I don't understand. The DA has to have somebody, Jake.  He can charge you with possession of forged plates, kidnapping, and murder. Then he can mark the case closed. Somebody has to be the patsy. And now that you've done the plates, you're really not much use for anything, huh? Why, you're awesome. Jake, Jake. No, you're too old. You're too old to tangle with me, Jake. I don't. Now, think it over. It won't be so bad. You'll get used to it. Who's that? I will not kill. I won't.  Who could that be at the door? I don't know, and I don't care, and I wish I was there. If you don't keep quiet, you'll get that wish right now.  I'll get rid of whoever it is. Now, listen, I think I'll step inside if you don't mind. I was wondering if a friend of mine was being kept in this house against her will. The answer is no. Sure? Sure. How did you find me? Well, you see, Roger, I got back from Bennington City quicker than you did. I had a police car following the train. You had to wait two hours, and I didn't. That gave me time to do a few little jobs here and I'll still be at the check room when you got back from Bennington City. You get it? It follows. I didn't think you'd bite, but you did. I watched the whole operation at the check room, and then followed you here. Now, I think I'll take a look around this house. And I think you won't. Out of my way, Roger. Oh, make one move, and I'll plug you. I mean it. He's crazy, Mr. D.A., he's a maniac. I'm used to maniacs, Jake.  Give me that gun! Back to Mr. District Attorney in just a moment. You know, one of the most important obligations of us here at home is to help keep the morale of our servicemen high. And one of the best ways to do this is by writing letters to them regularly and often. Now, this applies not only to the men in Korea, but also to those in other areas overseas, where mail call often is one of the few diversions. There are millions of American servicemen stationed all over the world, in Korea, Japan, Hawaii, England, France, and many other places. There are Navy units on duty on nearly all seas and in port throughout the world. And occupation duty is often dull to men anxious to return home, and the arrival of mail is one of the few bright spots in their day. It's one of the greatest gifts in the daily lives of these men to receive letters and mail call from relatives and friends. This campaign is to urge people who know a serviceman overseas to write to him. If you're a relative or friend of a serviceman, why don't you write to him today? Make his mail call something to look forward to. This message is brought to you as a public service. Drop that gun, Roger, or so help me. I'll break your arm. I'll break it. All right, get that gun, Jake.  What's the matter? Don't you like tangling with men? No, don't! Stop! Upstairs! Not so good with your fists, are you? You need boiling water. Yes, upstairs, Mr. D.A. All right. Upstairs until the right. Ms. Miller! Ms. Miller! Thank you. I don't mind admitting it. I'm so terrified of a man in my life. All right, he'll be taken care of, Ms. Miller.  Well, that was nice work, Chief, following from the check room like that. Yeah, you see, Ms. Miller, as soon as I found out where the house was located, I called Harrington. The thing was, I couldn't be sure that Roger would fall for the check room gang. Oh, Chief, what about Jake? Well, I turned the plates over to the treasury boys. I don't know. Five years, maybe ten. Well, on the mercy of the court, completing guilty. Hey, we better pick up that boy in the check room, taking a bribe, giving a partial out-with-no-claim check. Well, I... I think we'll let him keep that, Harrington. Uh-huh. Roger's $1,000. What? Yes, I set that up with him beforehand, Harrington.  Listen again next week for Mr. District Attorney. Our stars are J. Justin in the title role, Len Doyle as Harrington, and Vicky Bola as Ms. Miller. The script was written by Harry W. Junkin. The program was originated by Phillips H. Lord, produced by Bernard L. Schubert and directed by Leslie Harris. Join us next week at the same time for another transcribed case history from the files of Mr. District Attorney.
