to the first update for the Mantic Bunker in these times when containment protocol has been initiated. We will be dealing with regular updates on how to stay busy in these challenging times. It's not the first time the Brits have faced an aggressive invader. Unfortunately this time we're all on the same side. We're playing these situations, we deploy our fighting troops from around the Empire to Scots, to Welsh, northerners and those Irish and as usual we will need the aid of the Americans to survive the crisis. Although it's nice to see that this time they have come in from the start. It looks like we will all be spending considerable time indoors to make this as enjoyable and as productive as possible. Each day we will be giving you inside advice on making the most of this time including regularly washing your hands, having a stiff upper lip and drinking tea and collecting gaming painting with Mantic miniatures. Serious note we would like to say thank you to everybody who supports Mantic, all of our fans out there and while we're disappointed not to be seeing you at Adapticon and on our store over the coming weeks we will be keeping you updated throughout. I'd also like to personally thank everybody here at Mantic HQ which is keeping things going as well as can be expected in these difficult times. And finally, do check in at 6pm every day to find out more information as sent from the Mantic Broadcast Emergency Channel. Thank you.

All the way down. Come on, get some, what's next? Y'all ready? Yeah! Chilling Jones. Huh?  Sight.    You know what you're busy? Yeah, yeah. Ain't it somebody cheap?      The way you jumped in for T-Top, I came front, it kinda took me back to years ago in the fight club. I had a rookie match, I met this chick named Cookie, I said let's boogie. That's when she took me out of the house for when I tried to get mouth, the bitch pushed me back. Then when I was digging that out, I had to stop. I had a bushy snatch, you see how they figure it out. No T-Top, and this pussy's wet. I ain't scrabble, I got that feeling again nigga, but something about that Mary made me right for this Ben Stiller.  You ain't been where I've been, chill up.  By the way, that's a chin, chill up.        Be real, I be the dopest nigga. Cause I really came from the hood, and we're the dopest nigga. We out in ATL, I ain't towing nigga, but play low-key. Cause my son got the hammer. I'm playing Odin nigga. Counts, I get the steel. It's like I'm sewing niggas. Have Jones insides blew out. Have Jones insides blew out. That's Osmosius nigga. It's been a couple months, but I feel like I ain't going years. I wanna give y'all classics. But it's like all my pins are frozen skin. I did this for my fans. Cause me and Chila, y'all know it's weird. I'm like D-Rose. I shouldn't be playing with these lower tits. That was my final. Powerful road rides. It did this last spring, but you took red and standing, said you ain't have time for it. I mean y'all came to see punch lines, right? Not punches. Punch lines, right? Not punches, not. Still gotta end violently. He'd be like, you don't got bars like that. Guess what? That don't apply to me. So what you trying to be? A battle legend? A trailblazer? Then you gonna win with that real flavor that they'll say? Cause you sell major? Yeah, you probably who they'll favor. But last year, I faced more pins than hellblazers. With the flamers, backwood get burned like outblazers. Then the groves outside of your dome like tailgangers.   If you can't spit that tight, you're broken open. You got four bars, you the KitKat type. But you gonna tell them I don't lift that pipe. That's how I'm wasting math. You gonna diss the way that I rap. But they embrace it, math. Being street, don't take talent. You gotta face it, math. Plus an addition, your whole division is basic, math. Everything that you say is trash. That's a problem I ever solve. Listen to your rhymes. That's a problem you're ever solved. Try to aerosol. Try to aerosol. That's your mistake. To get that aerosol, we spray like aerosol to the tension in the aerosol. That's one. Ready for war with the tech state keep. If you sneeze or even take the wrong breath, they squeeze. When I can and flash, just say cheese.  Steve, but think about those last bars. For trying to test a Jeep, well all you gon' see is math. Well now that say, Tacey. First a bully who's rapping savage with a pen. I got a school to make this match a classic. So I came and created a writing. Plus drastic tactics. You gon' be history. Steppin' in my path was tragic. I catch them by all the G's.  But should I hit him with a gym? Or give math a madduce? Even the bars I call average mean. What you think mean? The average. Your ball is drastic mean. I mean in mode. You have to last it seems. Wait, mean? Median? Oh yeah. That's a T. 12 plus one in the head like a arithmetic. Shit, I ain't gonna see this guy. But I can have 3.14.   Boss. That little one. Right now chill is like finally. But I think we all should spend some time with our father. So bow your heads and close your eyes with me. Amen. Heavenly Father. Please give me back on URL. Cause I don't know what to do God. I figure after some of madness.  I promise her I won't skip any verses. I'ma just do what I do, boss. And next time I hear that woo. I'ma listen to you. Next you get fired. And you should get hired soon. Cause every week you battle on. You turn it to the quiet room. How could you? Talking about you spray the chrome.  You trendin' that James. You just a fake, Jerome. When you tell niggas you scheming.  If I tell niggas I'm scheming. That means going inside. It's a one.  It catchs you lit up. It's got hot.  The cats I lit up. And the sky. Like they heard lyin' on callin'. Break you down. I'ma take what the people prefer. It's your favorite quality. And turn it to a weakness observed. And bothers me. The way you like to scheme is for herbs. You look for double meanings. Cause you never meaning your words. Like picture chillin' big head. Put some G's in a trap. Do a safe. Keep bubbling cork. I'ma squeeze on the cats. The rat they trap. Ratchets like, what's up shawty? Like some G's to react. And chillin' to be like, no, no, no, no. Chill out fellas. Y'all need to relax. I mean. If you keep bubbling. Squeeze on the cat. I'm a leaner to get flat. P.G. don't gotta shop. So we gonna see him pass. My goal is to leave you purple.  You bring a cork. I give you ten. Your sneak is fast. Cause I burn them.  Ear and ash. So what you got against my battle with JC. Is it the fact that it's a classic smack battle? I mean all you offer the culture is real rap. When y'all want bars. You just be rapping facts at you. I mean this gonna be a serious disaster. Speaking of which, they both had this cat ride a book and rats laugh. Shit. I mean it's the first time you had punches and back to back battles. Cause there's this interview online. I mean I don't remember the time. But y'all was mentioning names and battle rapping brought mine up. You said if a victim was picking niggas out of line up and I was in that room. Behind bars anchor I would wind up. Fact. Okay fine.  So let me get this right. You would actually take pride in standing in a line of niggas and doing time. Cause you the one that looked like a crime committer. I mean I'm trying to figure this out. This mindset in black males is typical. You worried about looking real. That's something I feel is pitiful. Cause what's real? About your kids going to jail to visit you in birthdays and holidays past. But you're still invisible. Just a spickle. A spickle. I couldn't even leave it alone as a father. How is this something you can even condone? See I'm a father. And that's what got me so upset. Cause how you post erasure kids when you ain't grown up yet. That's why your face got a scratch like that. You got enemies. That's why you stay strapped like that. Come on man. You broad. Rick Ross almost got clapped like that. Come on man. You broad. Rick man. You broad. Rick is my favorite state.  This is rap.  They want to have you spill his hot juice when they bust your car. But I was by the door. Standing there nestling.  He said what if you punch you. I said why would he test me.  He'll get robbed if he dead. Definitely respect. I got it. I get me like I'm without rights. But let me get this outright. I'm no one you can outright. See they think you gon' swing and knock me outright.  And you ain't got bars like that. They gon' think you Bruno Mars. Getting killed. Cause you worried about that tough guy, sir. You shoulda took a page out of Barney Book and ducked my verse. What a battle. It's a battle right. I like that. We can't catch anybody. So what did she change though? I don't know. Talk to him man. Sing along if you know the words. Many men. We're dead upon me and sea. I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be.    This stuff is unique. And that'll wrap up like 50. I rose up from the street. Supported a disloyal game that made this money from beef. My last battle got ugly.  Five niggas verse one. That ain't a jump. It's a leap.  That was typical disaster. He the same as a rapper. Wasted time with a setup. Then his punches is weak. I swear to God at night. I dream about my gun on his cheek.  Too tired of crying. But too trouble to sleep.  He said I love you in peace.  My body's cut up in three. I really want to know the public's belief.  How many of y'all think he want to do that punch in the eats? Exactly. So whatever disrespect. So to take my shot, some set it in the west. With one shot weapon I would've rep. Gave a whole city stitches. Like the emblem that's for the match. I thought I was a sword king. The sword king of the dark. I just threatened them for a check. That brand was going to write on this head to get them stretched. But that's why they hate me. That's why they hate me.   But still jealous because I'm the rat. It's a shame I gotta do this. Chill out your body nigga. It's a shame I gotta do this. But I ain't sorry nigga.  In front of Bobby Fisher. Use a Tommy nigga. Use a Donny nigga. The way you be all friendly in battles. You using Molly, Molly nigga.  Use a Bonnie nigga. Get this train to the floor. Cause I pull up, wait, spot you and let it go. Like use a body builder. Like Hollow said.  I get them clean shots up close. 7D5. He see the steel. Start to feel like he ready to cry.  Biggie up. Make them light a fully blind ball. That was really tough. You know how we play? We're the flicky tough. Busted in D's.  You know I'm Godly with lyrics. You talk murders but don't do it.  That he the blast.  He probably don't get it. Of course I didn't wear it back. I ain't gonna tell nobody I did it. I said man, spend a couple months. But I feel like I ain't going years. I'm gonna give y'all classes. But all my peers are frozen scared. I did this for my fans. Cause me and Chilla, y'all know it's weird. I'm like D Rose. I shouldn't be playing with these lower tips. Disjusting. If y'all ain't know. Disjusting. The first one's for math. The last two is the disjusting. Rounds like disjusting to hit harder. So let's get started. What happened with dis? It's just still jumping. He said I should punch you on your face. You started talking hard. Dropped your gun. Turn the other cheek. And let him rock your jaw. I was in a crowd when it happened. I was shocked and all. I started popping off. The disastrous crew got involved. But now you got a lawsuit. Saying King of the Dot is unprofessional like your injuries were their fault.   But to me, it's just incredible. My question to the crowd, is this how real niggas behave?  Well let's keep pace. And talk about how your ex Bonnie knew Drake. He hit a wrong line. He mashed her out on a chewed date to sip wine. Had some good convo. She was staying.  You told her she better not. Or you would catch a new case. So she faked a brief. Waited for you to leave. Then packed the suitcase. You came home. Found a piece of paper on your food plate. It was a note that said, if you read it, is you that insecure? That ain't a good look, Hoffa. You was out of town. Having niggas from your hood watcher. But if you use that wood proper like you should, partner Bonnie with a cane. Straight back like good posture. But you lost. But you lost. Because you moved out. Hoping another guy's wife. And you got evicted. Your future was in a shelter like Mackay.  Want to be Bonnie, but ain't slide like her. Shorty's just a plain jump ball. That's a skydiver.  Say you getting more than me. For the same reason, those situations ended horribly. It's cause you feel an immaturity and insecurity. Looking like you should have a job in security. You've been running around bad-mouthing them. Quit talking about your ex. Why? The same allergy, bro. Bout it, bro. I'm bout it, bro. You really got a nerve calling me sweet. Y'all ever seen Mad vs. Dave? Y'all ever seen it?  Dayline was at your feet, sleep when he was rapping. He was pouring water on your cheap sneaks.  Ass method, man. If he a breeze, G, imagine Batman and Superman having beat Pete. My wordplay made the world Marvel vs. DC. See, you remind me of that one-old man that's so cynical. Recalling everything from his era that's so memorable. Like, when I came up, it was all about being original and if you make threats, you had to be ready to get physical.  Old man math stuck in his old ways saying my generation lacked respect for the old days cause now in battle rap, we got hybrids and flying cars, times the vault and dancing a whole page and here we go. Still talking about inventing the wheel and a stone age. Okay? You probably that old man that fall asleep on a train and wake up at the last stop. Keep her in space close to the screen and type with one finger on the slide.  You sold cracked rocks.  But here's where the act stops cause the same style I'm using now the same style Matt had for years we got him losing ground. You don't got bars like that that's why you lose it now and get's Mr. Jump the top chair moving, moving ground. Get's Mr. Jump the top chair moving, moving ground. Slide through the back I got the front I got one strap I got the other one I got the clutch

The world faces another crisis. This one, tackling plastic pollution. The average life cycle of a plastic water bottle is 450 years. This floating graveyard is going nowhere. Countries around the world have made pledges to reduce the manufacturing and production of single-use plastics that have been detrimental to our environment. Most countries would also look into the manufacturing or distribution of alternatives to plastics, and also in some instances completely eliminate plastic in the environment. A report published on the circular economy in 2016 indicates that each year, at least 8 million tons of plastics leak into the ocean, which is equivalent to dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute. If no action is taken by 2050, there will be more plastics in the ocean than fish. Saint Lucia is acting. Saint Lucia has signed on to a number of international and regional agendas and protocols that will assist us in reducing our dependence on single-use plastics. We have also signed on to the Transforming Our World Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, which has 17 Sustainable Development Goals. One of the Sustainable Development Goals that we need to note is SDG 12, which looks at responsible consumption and production. And Saint Lucia has enacted the Styrofoam and Plastic Food Service Containers Prohibition Act as our first of August 2019. Within this Act, we have banned the importation of all Styrofoam food service containers and selected single-use plastic. The Consumer Affairs Department is raising the awareness of plastic pollution and encouraging consumers to adopt more sustainable practices. As the Government Agency with Responsibility for Consumer Protection, we wish to highlight the need for consumers to be responsible in the use of plastics, particularly single-use plastics. We have seen a gradual move to the use of plastics in a myriad of products. Of great concern is the use and disposal of single-use plastics, such as plastic bottles, bags, and cutlery. They have been clogging our roadsides, our rivers, and defacing our beaches whenever we have heavy rains. If we want to ensure that our environment is healthy and safe for ourselves, our children, and our generations to come, we need to change our disposal habits. We need to move away from throwing our waste all around us and be responsible consumers. The Ministry of Commerce, the Department of Sustainable Development, the St. Lucia Solid Waste Management Authority, and other agencies are partnering to promote World Consumer Rights Day on March 15 under the theme Tackling Plastic Pollution.

I'm Diana Newell, associate lecturer at the University of Kent. I have been researching art history for 13 years now, then went on to do a PhD on Crete in the late medieval and early Renaissance period. A PhD is three to four years, solid research full-time. There are certain resources which only the British Library has and certainly it provided a lot of detailed sources on things which I couldn't find anywhere else. I was trying to research the autistic landscape of the capital of Crete during the Venetian period. I found that there were a number of different sources that I could draw on in the library which were extremely useful. There were the maps, there were the plans, there were the views and there were also the documentary sources of people's contemporary experience of the city. So they all kind of wove together to create a picture of what the lost city was like. Once you're in the library you know you can get things very quickly. Within a day you can look at a lot of material and get a lot of research done. I kind of found myself coming in more and more as I got deeper into my PhD. As an art historian I'm always very keen to see the original thing. You get much more out of the original than you do any reproduction. To be able to handle them and to see how the books put together sometimes and to study the original material it's been very exciting. I feel like I've discovered things and put together a picture of things which hasn't been done before.

Hi friends, welcome back to my channel and a very special welcome if you're new here. My name is Jen. I'm a certified weight loss and nutrition coach. I follow weight watchers and account calories and macros. Happy Friday. It is Friday, so it is weigh in day. We're gonna talk about my week. I'm gonna share with you an update on the update again. And of course, we're gonna chat about this week's WW workshop topic.  Make sure you're subscribed and your bell notification is turned on because we do a weigh in every Friday and I upload five videos every single week. Down in the description box, you will find nutrition coaching. I do offer personalized two U macros and calories. This is how I've lost the majority of my weight so I highly recommend as well as one-on-one coaching for accountability. And if you would like to talk with me directly. Links, discounts to my favorite things and of course, come on over, join our Facebook group. We would love to have you. So let's jump into my week, my weigh in and update on the update and the WW workshop topic. Absolutely amazing week before we jump into my week and update on the update Sunday. The video is coming out Sunday and you are not going to want to miss it. I mean, we are talking about a lot. We're talking body scan, plastic surgery, goal weight, what's happening with my channel, quitting WW, we're talking all about it on Sunday. So make sure you're subscribed and your bells on so you don't miss it. We are already in the second week of February. Like I mentioned last week, I feel like January was like 80 days long. It was one of the slowest months. It's always a slow month for me. And now I feel like February is just flying by, which I'm not mad about, especially if you live in a colder climate, you're probably really grateful that February is flying by so that you can get to a little bit warmer weather. We've been very blessed. It was actually 80 degrees on Sunday, which was crazy. This was the coldest January in 10 years in Arizona. And of course, it's the January that we live here and it's the January that I'm doing boot camp outside at 5 a.m. So just by luck that this is the coldest one in the last 10 years, but I feel like we've moved past that and the weather is just getting nicer and nicer and I'm so excited about that. I had a very good week this week, very productive, very, very busy. I have been extremely busy with coaching, which makes my heart so happy. And I had a really exciting thing happen this week. I hit 50,000 subscribers. That is a goal that I have had for my channel since the beginning. I want to help as many people as I can and to see that all of my consistency and hard work on my channel is paying off by growing my subscribers. It just makes me really, really happy. So thank you so much to each and every one of you who are not only subscribed, but watch my videos on a regular basis. It really helps me out financially, helps support my family. You know, my husband is unable to work, so I am the income of this house and it really means a lot to me that you continue to watch all my videos and support me in any way that you can. I am doing a huge 50K giveaway. I will put all of the information for that down in the description box. There is a post on my community tab and I talked about it a little bit in what I eat in a day this week as well. So I'll link that video down below for you. It's super simple to enter the giveaway. Just make sure that you're subscribed to my channel. I will be double checking this. Better yet, turn your bell on and leave a comment on today's video as to why you want to win the 50K giveaway and maybe your favorite thing about my channel or some content that you would like to see in the future. It's that simple. I am doing a bonus entry if you follow me over on Instagram. So I'll put my Instagram here on the screen as well. I was able to get in all of my workouts this week. I changed my macros up a little bit this week. I am always overeating my fat. I apparently like to choose foods that have a lot of fat and I was really trying to focus on leaning down a little bit, not necessarily losing weight per se, but leaning down.  So I'll be sharing that with you as soon as we chat about this week's WW Workshop topic. And this week's topic is how to be kinder to yourself. I always say that if we have a friend or a family member or even an acquaintance who's struggling, we are there to support them. We are lifting them up. We are saying positive things to them, but we don't always do that to ourselves. We're always putting ourselves down. Self criticizing, calling ourselves failures. Whenever we make a mistake, we're the worst person in the world. We need to start treating ourselves more like we treat the people we love and our friends. So I'm really excited that Weight Watchers is focusing on a little bit of self love this week. We normally are hard on ourselves when we hit a setback. Maybe the weight isn't coming off as quickly as we would like it, or maybe we overeat one day, or maybe we haven't been sticking with our diet at all.  We need to have a more compassionate voice for ourselves. Again, just like we do for our friends and our family. So here are a few things to try. Think about the times you or your loved ones have struggled. List the kind words or encouraging phrases that they said to you or you said to them. Number two, circle the phrases that might feel most comforting to you during tough times. You got this, keep going, you are strong, I believe in you, this won't break you. And number three, post one or more of the circle statements where you see it regularly. When you spot it on your mirror scale, coffee maker, or wherever, say the word to yourself.   If your default thoughts during your weight loss journey sound a little bit more like a drill sergeant and a friend, this is the perfect topic for you. Sometimes self criticism is so automatic that we just do it without even thinking. And we really have to be mindful and stop ourselves in our tracks. Think about the things that you say to yourself and whether you would say those to a friend. And if the answer is no, you probably shouldn't be saying them to yourself either. Also, we're human and we're going to make mistakes and we're going to have setbacks. That is part of this journey.  It doesn't mean that you're not going to hit your goals. It means that you're human and it's going to happen. You just have to expect that and not beat yourself up when it does. By saying nice things to yourself, you can really develop a healthier pattern of thinking. Instead of saying, I'm a failure. I gained on the scale this week. You could say something to yourself like, you know what, I made a couple of choices this week that led to a gain on the scale starting over today. Those are the types of things that we want to focus on. I also want to share with you three fast facts from Weight Watchers. Number one, responding to a setback with self-criticism can fuel the setback, making it more difficult to move past it. Number two, treating ourselves with compassion can increase our motivation to get up and try again. And number three, we have the power to change our self-critical thoughts to more self-compassionate ones. Really, the takeaway from today's topic is to treat yourself like you treat others. You don't tell your friend that she's a failure because she ate a donut.  Pretend you're your friend or your loved one and talk to yourself in that same compassionate way. I promise you this can make a huge difference on your weight loss journey and your mental health while navigating through weight loss. So again, I really like this topic. It's the month of Valentine's Day, so it's the month to really give ourselves a little bit of love as well. Do something for your physical and mental health this month that takes care of you. We're so busy taking care of everybody else. Make it a point this month to do something for yourself. So now let's jump into my weigh-in for the week.  That's something that's just a guarantee every single day. But by maneuvering my macros around a little bit to not only fit my activity level but my dietary and physical changes that I'm after, it really, really helped not only fuel my body this week, make me feel like I had a little bit more energy. I wasn't even having two coffees every single day. I was having my one coffee, then focusing on lemon water or orange water, citrus is in season here. So I've been putting that in my water and that's been really, really nice to have naturally flavored water. And all of that together led to a loss on the scale this week. So when I stepped on the scale, I'm actually down 1.2 pounds. Now that is the most that I have lost and I don't know how long. It's either maintenance up a little bit, down a little bit. So the fact that changing my macros really benefited me overall means that I'm making positive changes in the right direction to help me reach my goals that I've set for myself. I couldn't be happier with minus 1.2 pounds, just continuing to move in the right direction while enjoying myself. I mean, I ate out, I had Girl Scout cookies this week. I still lived my life and enjoyed myself just in moderation and it led to a loss of 1.2 pounds. How was your week? Did you gain? Did you lose? And do you find yourself falling in the trap where you're not talking so nicely to yourself? Definitely let me know down in the comments.

Yeah, it was, it was, you gotta understand with New Orleans, man, we all know each other. I know that's the part. When I said I went to a grammar school, you know, it was on the same basketball team with me and was honestly, I could say at that time, that time better than me, baby from Cash Money.

He played, he played, he played shooting guard two and sometimes the point.  I know Brian. Yeah. And it was like he was talking about changing his name.

Shoot the ball, handles, everything. And baseball was a beast. I'm playing baseball. That's crazy. And on the field, put that helmet on you. You could do it all. Oh yeah. You think you still got it? I don't think he mess with it. No, I think, do you think you still got it? If I lose, just wait. When you and Birdman, I mean, so you have you seen him throughout all these years?   Yeah. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So one of them either, you know, it's just got it.  I go my way. And I think that's what it was.  That's no limit cash money. He gonna call me by my, my real first name. Of course. Yeah. He don't say, he don't say, sir. You know, and I don't say, baby, you know what I'm saying? Because I really know each other. What's up, B, what's up? You know, any other kids, man, out of family, how you mom? That's hard.  That's hard. You know, and so because his, his brother, man, Eldrick was my guy. Yeah. Yeah. Eldrick was the Eldrick was the house. The Eldrick was a real one. Yeah. You know, and, and baby, like I said, we, we, man, we got grammar school pitches together. Yeah. Yeah. And so, you know, and that's New Orleans, man. New Orleans is a unique place where you can be hot. Mr. Maker could be hot. And we're from different areas. And yeah, you go at it. But in the end, it's like, we're all from New Orleans. That's it. That's it. That's it.  I definitely watched the game. You know, have our initial, but when we step out of Texas, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we together, we together. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one.


My name is Sean Jacobs. I'm one of the systems architects here at Protected Trust and I would like to introduce you to a new series of videos that we will be posting here on our YouTube channel. For many years now, Protected Trust has offered security roadmap classes to help our clients improve the security posture of their Office 365 organizations.

Well, Hackensack Meridian Health is giving students an inside look at Air Med One. Students from the Project Search Internship Program got to tour the helicopter today. The program is one of the largest in the nation for students with disabilities. This is the hospital's third year partnering with Project Search. We can only do these students develop phenomenal skills that they'll retain forever, but our team members also learn from the students. We believe that when they finish this program, they'll be able to find jobs in the workplace and continue the learning environment and continue with their skills. Students have got to meet the flight team and learn what's it like to be a patient, airlifted.


Dr. Ranjan Shetty, Interventional Cardiologist in Manipal Hospital, Bangalore. Hatal fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. What happens in this condition is the upper chamber, heart as the upper chamber and the lower chamber, the upper chamber actually starts vibrating and not technically beating and the lower chamber is the one which continues to beat. This produces lots of problems. It's a disease of elderly, above 60% of the population has this disease and about 85-10% of the population has this disease. This is not just change of rhythm which we are talking about here. The claws can form in this and this is one of the very important ways cause for stroke in elderly and stroke you know is very disabling and does affect the quality of life of this elderly. To prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation there is some therapies available. One option is drug like warfarin or some of the newer drugs. These are strong blood thinners. They would prevent stroke when they can appropriately but there is also risk of lot of bleeding which can occur, which can be stomach or which can be skin or whenever there is a need for surgery these drugs need to be thought.


Welcome friends to this review of Stephen King's Lizzie's story. I'm very excited, aren't you? Well, good to have you. Sit back and relax, take a chill pill, or drink a margarita, or maybe both, although mixing them is not a great idea. Lizzie's story is one of Stephen King's favourite novels, perhaps his absolute favourite. That's no guarantee of quality. Great writers have been partial to their own imperfect works before. Indeed, Lizzie's story is, I think, such a read, flawed in its overindulgence, even as it delivers the signature King trills and shivers, and an emotionally deeper work than many of his others. King's novel is about a main writer, Scott London, and his wife Lizzie. Scott died two years ago, but his absence is felt more keenly by Lizzie than ever before, as she prepares to clean out his study. Events in the present bring the past to bear in horrifying new ways, ways which force Lizzie to face things she has chosen to forget. These inevitably have to do with Scott, his tragic origins and the secret behind his writing craft. There's plenty to recall, plenty to relive, and Lizzie goes chasing down the past with some urgency because her life comes to be at risk. An argument with a local scholar eager to get his hands on Scott's personal archives leads to a far more dangerous situation. Lizzie receives a phone call from Zach McCool, a violent and dangerous stalker whose initial desire to get Mrs. London to give up her husband's archive reveals altogether darker desires. Blood curdling displays of violence and fresh personal tragedies force several layers of past events to come crashing down on Lizzie. Or, okay, okay, let me interrupt myself right here and mention that Lizzie, which I'm going to keep pronouncing as Lizzie, is very significantly mentioned at the very onset of the novel, is actually pronounced as Lizzie, my bad, sorry, in advance to all the angry Stephen King fans who will never see this video. This video, just the one. The other ones will be better, I promise. Anyway, as I said, blood curdling displays of violence and fresh personal tragedies force several layers of past events to come crashing down on our protagonist in the present in what makes for excellent, emotionally resonant reading. It's difficult not to read the relationship between Scott and Lizzie as a tribute and a love letter to King's marriage and wife respectively. The author has spoken of the inspiration for this novel being his return to his study after hospitalization, wherein his wife, Tabitha, had cleaned out and reorganized the writer's workspace. This is what it would look like if I died. I felt like a ghost, King said, about entering the reorganized study for the first time. This inspiration, the fictional Scott London success, the relationship, the main setting, quite possibly the very look architecture of the house in which Lizzie and Scott live. These all invite a little more of an autobiographical reading to that novel than the usual King story does. Excluding, in case the fantastical elements, we can only hope, it's a dangerous road to go down on. It's good to keep in mind that likenesses or not, this is fictive. And even I kind of indulge in the idea that King might, on his own, also be indulgent to indulgent with some of the descriptions, with some of the extended conversations, be they between Lizzie and Scott or between Lizzie and some of her extended family members. It's a difficult, difficult thing to avoid in this particular situation. But I don't think we are entirely at fault for sometimes reading something about Scott or Lizzie in this situation and thinking to ourselves, oh, yeah, that might well be how Stephen King perceives himself, for example. And with some of the ways in which Scott London is gifted a prodigy, it certainly isn't difficult to see why it might be a little bit tricky to give him space from Stephen King himself. That said, the romp in Lizzie's mind, because this novel spends so much more time, as I mentioned, inside the head of a character, than do any of King's novels, is riveting, the kind of literary track I couldn't look away from. But even for me, there was a feeling of bloat or perhaps the need for an editor who would have insisted on a 50-page cut or even 100 pages. I wonder if King's editors ever do that. I wonder if anyone ever does that to also so successful as King is, and for good reason, I might say. He is phenomenal. King always captures the sound and logic of spoken conversation. That's something else I really enjoyed. Lizzie's story displays his skill in this as many of his other pieces do. More than others, it also shows the way in which devout couples engender language all their own. One I enjoyed learning as I read on. Then there are the elements of the uncanny, because much like King's best works, Lizzie's story too gradually builds up a smorgasbord of supernatural horrors, some real bad gunky, as Scott and the rest of his family would say. The worst of the lot is The Long Boy, an ineffable, unknowable creature living in a world entirely removed from this one and the kind of nightmarish presence that haunts dreams and madhouses alike. The Long Boy is the cherry The Long Boy is the cherry on a really boshed up cake, and that cake begins with Scott London's mess of a family. It's great to read about, especially if you enjoy the occasional sojourn into brutal horror nastiness.  You enjoy psychological horror and don't mind the occasional venture into brutal violence. You have deep appreciation for characters internal emotional lives. You want to take preventive measures about your growing an unhealthy obsession with fandom. This novel illustrates the dangers of just such obsessions. And more, probably. I enjoyed Lizzie's story and think it would make for a great read for, let's say, newcomers to King. People who might in fact enjoy more literary novels, because that's what I think the novel could have really nailed. And I read someone on Goodreads mentioned that they were wondering what would happen if Stephen King had left behind all the fantastical elements and instead had embraced questions of, say, addiction, alcoholism, that kind of thing. If then this would have been well regarded, much better regarded by the more serious critical and literary establishment. Because when it comes to the time we're spending Lizzie's head, her introspection, her memories, the way that past and present come together, all of that I could see easily, easily appeal to people who absolutely love literary fiction. I love that and I mostly enjoy the other stuff as well. But tell me, what about you? What novel by Stephen King have you most enjoyed?  It could be a movie or a TV series or even something like, what was that, Midnight Mass, which was so deeply a spiritual successor to his works. Yeah, tell me all about it. And if you enjoyed this video, please, don't forget to share it with your friends. Stephen King Loving, Stephen King Hating, of course, can have one without the other. Probably you can, honestly. You probably could. But also, don't forget to smash that like button, leave a comment down below. What should I read next by King? I've read plenty, but I haven't read a lot more because the man is one of those prodigious, masterful writers who mostly write phenomenal stuff and also write a whole lot of them, like Adrian Tchaikovsky, whom I don't know why I mentioned, but do I really need a reason? No, sir. What I need to do is read Adrian Tchaikovsky's City of Last Chances. That's probably what I'm going to do very soon. So I'll see you next time. This went on rather quite a bit longer than usually, didn't it? I'm a bit braggy today. That's fine. That's perfect. That's excellent. But I'm going to stop it. Stop now. Philip. Oh yeah, that's me. Philip Magnus. Me, not you. And I'll see you next time. Bye.


This paper proposes a new method for deblurring and denoising magnetic resonance images, MRI, called the isotropic total variation regularized least absolute deviations measure, LAD-TV. The method uses a combination of two techniques, the least absolute deviation, LAD, and the total variation, TV, to simultaneously reduce noise and preserve edges in the MRI. An alternating optimization algorithm is then used to solve the resulting minimization problem. Experiments on real-world datasets show that this method can effectively restore images with high quality. This article was authored by Xiaoligu, Weishui, Yanhong Sun, and others.


Yeah, there was a there's a story again over the weekend over the last couple of weeks really about Ukrainian corruption I'm not gonna get into a lot of details here, but you know Ukraine before the war was a very corrupt country It's as being corrupt since its separation of the Soviet Union. I'm sure it was corrupt before then too, but The more recently I think before the war it was ranked a hundred and twenty second in the world in terms of corruption The only country in all of Europe Listed as more corrupt in Ukraine. It was Russia But this is the difference first, I think Zelensky was taking steps to eradicate corruption in Ukraine. They were slow. They were partial. They were not very effective They were far from ideal They were far from from ideal but The But this is the difference Over the last couple of weeks, there's there's been breaking stories in Ukrainian media about corruption in a number of different places within the Ukrainian government some of it having to do with deployment of The money and the resources being provided Ukraine by the European Union and by the United States And and corrupt individuals were named Immediately an investigation was launched those people are fired. They're gonna be prosecuted and there was there was outrage within Ukraine and There's clearly at least in this segment a cleaning of the house And indeed I think this just provides Zelensky with an opportunity to get rid of people He might have wanted to get rid of anyway, but because of corruption But now because it's it's it's kind of an international story. He can do it You know, you can do it more freely Imagine if the story had broken in Russia if a story had broken in Russia about corruption within Russia One of the oligarchs or something like that. Is anybody think or You know Putin himself. Does anybody think that actions would have been taken to address this that people would have been arrested There would be courts that people would be fired No, I mean quite the contrary the reporter would be arrested and put in jail That is the people complaining about the regime would have been punished and that's really one of the many Differences between Ukraine and Russia Ukraine is not a Western good Country when it comes to its political regime, it is indeed corrupt and it does have significant problems and it does have problems of Political corruption economic corruption and also it has problems of massive cronyism and so on the differences That they are forces in Ukraine trying to fix it and when and there was a relatively independent media and when the media reports on a project on a Coincidence something is actually done about Something is actually done about it whereas in Russia there is no independent media None whatsoever indeed the last fragment of independent media last week The last fragment of independent media in Moscow was shut down last week and anybody linking to Referring to an article by that media will be tried for treason in Russia. There's no independent media. It's gone finished kaput completely But in and it's just as corrupt actually more corrupt in Ukraine and yet there's nothing and Nobody complains about that very little complaining about Russian corruption so a big difference In the level of freedom between the two countries Ukraine is more free than Russia and is moving in the right direction Russia before the war was less free than Ukraine and moving in the wrong direction and then after that the fact that Russia invaded Ukraine and You've got the bad guys and the good guys in this conflict pretty well sorted out and pretty clear-cut without it much ambiguity Thank you for listening or watching the Iran book show if you'd like to support the show We make it as easy as possible for you to trade with me.

It's called the 10 Mark Note and involves two American military investigators and their attempts to break up a ring of communist counterfeiters. Our first act curtain will rise in just a moment. But first, did you know that you can get ahead, enjoy your work, have security, and a steady job, all when you enlist in the United States Army? Why you'll get your first promotion when you've been in only a few months. There's a wide variety of jobs available, but most important, you'll be helping to preserve the national security of our country. Why don't you check at your local recruiting office and let them tell you how you can make the most of your life in the United States Army? And now your United States Army presents the proudly we hail production, the 10 Mark Note. It's nine o'clock in the morning, a rather pleasant spring morning in Western Berlin. Somehow everyone is enjoying the weather in Berlin. Politeness in Europe is a highly formalized art. Everyone always nods and says good morning. But somehow the fresh spring air makes the routine greeting sound so much more alive. Here, Heinrich Meyerberg, an official in the office of the West Berlin Chief of Police, enjoyed the weather this morning too. He took the streetcar from his home in the suburbs and it was a pleasant trip. He was in a good humor until he arrived at his desk and then his mood changed abruptly. The problem that was sticking the entire police department was still unsolved on this beautiful morning. It was still there, as perplexing, as serious, as insoluble as ever. The telephone kept ringing. Meyerberg? Yes. No. Come in the morning. The routine reports were coming in, all of them substantially the same. No progress, no leads. Yes, maybe today. Perhaps today. Meyerberg knew that he'd been saying that every day for a month and they were all no nearer to the solution. Then there was a phone call of a somewhat different nature. Meyerberg? Yes? Two American soldiers. Officers and soldiers. Military policemen. Yes, sir. There are two American soldiers out here to see you, sir. His secretary informed him. An officer and a sergeant. They are military police from the United States Army Provost Marshall's office. I'll see them, says Meyerberg. The Americans enter. One wears the bars of a warrant officer, the other a sergeant's stripes. Herr Meyerberg motions them to chairs. Please gentlemen, have seats. Beautiful morning, no? Thank you, Herr Meyerberg. I'm Mr. Dennis of the Provost Marshall's office. This is Sergeant Smith. How do you do? This is a glorious morning, no? I can only hope everything else will go as well as this weather. Yes. A good day to solve a crime, but then any day is a good day until we finish, no? Herr Meyerberg, we have been assigned to investigate a matter which has probably been occupying the attention of your people also. I'm referring to this epidemic of counterfeit ten-mark notes. It has been occupying what you may call the exclusive attention of our people. Well, we've come here to see if we can arrange for some mutual assistance. I shall be happy to extend all of our facilities here, Mr. Dennis, but may I ask why is the United States Army concerned? It's a fact, isn't it, that the city has flooded with these counterfeit bills? Yes, a sad fact. We're up against the most perfect examples of counterfeit reported anywhere.  Why? Because the communists have a great deal to gain by undermining the currency of West Germany. To them, counterfeit money is just another weapon in their arsenal. Herr Meyerberg, how far have you been able to get to West Germany? Well, Sergeant, you know how it goes. You find one in a store, the owner, he cannot remember anyone who gave him a ten-mark note. What about the pattern, sir? A pattern? Yes, sir, is there a pattern? You interview a hundred people who wound up with ten-mark bills. They search their memories. They might describe some of the people who gave them ten-mark bills. Perhaps some of these descriptions might apply to the same person. The pattern. From your experience, does this mean anything, Sergeant? Yes. It means this is going to be rough. For example, we found a few of these bills in a camera shop run by a man named Hausmann. Now, he remembers exacting them from an American soldier. Could he describe the soldier? No. But surely he could tell you something. We questioned him for two hours. We could get nothing. Is he hiding anything, do you think? Eccentric. Hausmann. May I have his address, Herr Meyerberg? Warrant Officer Dennis and Sergeant Smith got in their jeep and threaded their way through the crowded West Berlin traffic. The jeep slowed and came to a stop near a busy corner. They dismounted and walked to the entrance of a shop. Across the window in large gothic script was the legend Eric Hausmann photographic specialties. Herr Hausmann? Yes. We're cooperating with the civilian police about this matter of the 10-mark notes. Ah, so, yes. Well, I told the police all I knew. Some of these counterfeit bills were found in your shop. Yes, but I know nothing. You said you remembered taking some 10-mark notes from an American soldier. Soldier? Perhaps I can remember a face. I just wait, Herr Hausmann. I'm talking about an American soldier. What are you talking about? The, uh, the soldier. But you said her face. Well, naturally. She was a woman. A woman soldier? A what? Herr Hausmann, have you been withholding information from the civilian police? You said a soldier. Why didn't you tell him it was a woman soldier? Please, please. Everything has been so, so mixed up. I have been ill. I hire the man to run the shop. His reference said he knew cameras. They lied. He lied. He sold everything at the wrong prices. I'm ruined. But you could have said it was a woman soldier in the first place. I did not think. A person in uniform is a soldier, and he's fine. These days I can hardly think of my own name. Now, now, Herr Hausmann, you were absolutely correct. The police traced some of these bills to your shop. You tried to remember who would give them to you and I admit that's difficult. Ah, you are a man with heart and sympathy. And so to you, naturally, a person in uniform was simply a soldier. And that's also true. Now, sir, if we may impose a girl, an American girl, could you describe her? It has been such a terrible month for me. Rheumatism. Her hair blond, dark red. Ah, yeah, yeah. She was small. Pretty? Pretty. Pretty. My good sergeant depends on the man's values. To me, my wife is a beauty, but a beauty contest she would never win. Was this one pretty? I would call her pretty. This could mean anything. She was wearing a uniform. Was, uh, were there any stripes on her sleeve? Stripes? Like I have on mine? Yes, yes, I try to remember. One, I think. No, no, uh, two. You're sure? A prudent man who in this life is sure of nothing. I agree, but you're reasonably sure she had two stripes? Yes, she bought a camera. It was to be a present she would send home to her father on his birthday. Such a nice girl. A credit to her parents. Small and a corporal. Something to go on, sir. I hope. I hope I have helped you, gentlemen. It has been so hectic. You cannot imagine. Okay. Miss. Oh, you're the man from the camera shop. I remember you said how you used to come to this place to eat on your off-duty hours. I had to see you. Why? Is something the matter with that camera you saw? Oh, no, no, no. I'm afraid you're in trouble. Me? What did I do? I cannot believe that you would be dishonest. What are you talking about? The marks you gave me. The ten mark notes. They were counterfeit. Counterfeit? There must be a mistake. The police called on me and also members from your army. I tried to protect... I haven't done anything wrong. Yes, but you gave me counterfeit money.  That's exactly what you were. The American officer. I'm warrant officer Dennis. Corporal Helen Miller. Mr. Housman, why were you trying to protect this girl? Captain, I could not believe she is guilty of any wrong. I don't believe it either. Are you sure the money I gave him was counterfeit, sir? Just the ten mark notes. The ten mark notes? Wait, the camera cost 230 marks. I gave him 210, that's right, isn't it? Yes, I remember. What do you remember about the money, Corporal? I'd been saving to buy my dad a present. I had three 100 mark bills put away. Then Thursday... Yes, that's right, Thursday, that was my day off. I went shopping. I was going to buy dad a present for 300 marks. And those three bills were all I had except for some loose change which I used for the street car. You didn't have any ten mark notes? No, nothing that big except for the 300s. Where'd you get the tens to pay Mr. Housman? You must have changed one of the 100s somewhere. I did. I stopped off at Kellner's. You know the big department store? Well, they had nothing dad would like, they were having a sale. So you bought some perfume? Yes, I bought some perfume. That was 40 marks. All right, you broke one of the 100s. And I got back six ten mark notes. And at least three of them were counterfeit. We know that. Do you have the three others? I have one of them left, I think. Let me look. Yes, here it is. I'd like to look at it. What do you think, sir? It's about as good as the others we've seen. Best counterfeit I've ever come across. Corporal, how do they work it in Kellner's? Does each clerk take cash and make change? I think so. Do you remember the clerk who waited on you? A woman, about 35, I'd say, tall, dark hair. You'd know her if you saw her again? I would. Then we know for a fact that four out of the six bills she gave you were counterfeit. That batting average is a little too high to be an accident. Suppose we go over to this department store. May I do for you? I'm warrant officer Dennis, United States Army. Oh, please, excuse me. Worth here. Oh, yes, here it is. It was in the newspapers. Oh, you heard it on the radio. Horrible, you know. And I think I fired her just before it happened. How can I reproach myself? It wasn't my fault. She was not doing her work. I had no choice. No, no, we would have just sent some flowers. I'll be home early tonight. Goodbye. Horrible. A girl who had been working here 10 years, she had been coming late so often we were forced to fire her. And now, last evening, she drowned herself. That's too bad. If you have been coming to Kerala's, perhaps you might have seen her here. Tall, dark-haired, she was at the perfume counter. Her name was Isra Schumann. It's been such an upsetting day. Tell me now, what may I do for you? Oh, I just wanted to know if I could trade my old camera in for a new one. Well, certainly. It is our policy to accept trades, the camera departments on the third floor. Thank you. I'm sure you'll be satisfied. Excuse me. Morphium. Oh, have you heard the news? Come on. So her name is, or was, Isra Schumann. We found that out, and we still haven't tipped our hand. I hope. You are listening to the proudly-we-hail production, the 10-mark note. We'll return in just a moment for the second act. Young man, be honest with yourself. Have you reached a standstill in life? Is each day just like any other? Are you worried about your future? And most important of all, are you feeling dissatisfied with yourself and your personal development? Well, if this description or any part of it fits you, it's just about time you investigated the opportunities waiting for you when you enlist in the United States Army. Every man in the Army has a skill, and more often than not, the Army taught him that skill in one of its fine schools. The Army offers an interesting present and a secure future with plenty of promotions along the way. And above all, the Army molds you into a man, a man whose family, friends, and country are proud of him. If you think you can measure up, stop in at your nearest recruiting office and see if you can qualify to wear the mark of a man, the uniform of your United States Army. You are listening to proudly-we-hail, and now we present the second act of the 10-mark note. With the death of Ilse Schumann, a promising lead evaporates, and warrant officer Dennis and Sergeant Smith are back exactly where they started. A week of investigation passes with no tangible results.  But that official is not able to offer any encouragement, either. And it has reached the stage now where most people are talking about counterfeit money. Once people start to worry about their currency, we have already lost a battle to the Reds. I thought we had a lead, but it blew up in our faces. I know this Ilse Schumann girl must have been a passer, but she's dead. Suicide, eh? Doesn't sound right to me. I have spoken with our homicide people. I have conversed with our medical department. That's by drowning. Checked her friends. Actually, she had no close friends, just acquaintances. Now, I could find no trace of underworld or communist association. It doesn't figure. We get a lead, we lose her. And we can't find out anything about her. My book? Yeah? Yeah. You're sergeant. He wishes to see you.  Anything turn up, sir? I don't know, sir. Just on a hunch, I started backtracking the places where she used to live. When she died, she was running a room at the address Herr Meyerberg here gave us. Her landlady told me the address and they gave me another old address. Okay, so I must have traced her to 15 different places. Did you find out anything? No, but I kept pitching. And not one of these places could I get it anybody who could tire in with anything shady. Then, at the last place, I lost the trail. What do you mean? They gave me a previous address. Looks like you wore out a lot of good leather for nothing. Yeah, well, I was so mad at getting brought up short that way that I started all over again. More questions of the same people. Well, when I worked back to the seventh or eighth place, the landlady's husband happened to be home. It seems he used to be the janitor until he married the dame who owned the building. Good for him. Now, I was asking about a girl who used to live in the building some 10, 12 years ago, Ilse Schumann. He remembered her all right. It was an old apartment building and this janitor was one of those guys who seized everything, hears everything, knows everything, and he tells everything. Ilse Schumann shared a two-room apartment and while she was living here, she got married. And she kept the apartment because her husband was a soldier in the German army. He got killed later. But the important thing is this guy's name. Housman. Franz Housman. Housman? Yeah. So that rang a bell right off. I managed to throw in a question. I found out that he was the son of this old man Housman who runs a camera shop. Housman. That's where we started. That was our first lead. And now it turns out that this Housman is the father-in-law of the girl who either conveniently died or was murdered. But that's what I don't understand. Housman cooperated with us. He gave us a break that set up our own Corporal Helen Miller. She could have led us to Ilse Schumann. But what I found out about Ilse Schumann is she was married to Housman's own son. Keep talking, Sergeant. What else did this goldmine of information give you? Oh, sir, we got all day to listen. This guy kept bending my ear. He wouldn't let me go. For instance, about the son. What did the janitor say about him? He was an artist. An artist? Wait a minute. Hold it now. Wherever you have counterfeit money, you have to have an artist to engrave the plates. About Mr. Dennis, according to what Sergeant Smith learned, the son was killed. He said, sir, killed in action. This is either the lead that breaks this ball game wide open or it's nothing. If Housman's son was killed... Why do you say if, Mr. Dennis? If he was killed, then the information had to be on a casualty list. There has to be a record of it. Yes, there must be. Then I have to see that record. Is Herr Housman in? No, he's sick today. I am watching the store. Can I be of assistance? Well, I wanted to talk with him. Was it about a camera? No, it was about his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law? That's what I said. Did you know his daughter-in-law? No, no. His son was killed in a war nine years ago. Well, not exactly killed. I understand the report said the son was missing in action and presumed dead. Well, I would not know. I just work here sometimes. Do you know Mr. Housman well? I think we're going to get to know him better. Did you know the son? Oh, yes. He was like the father in many ways. Now, you see that picture on the wall? That is the boy. The father painted it. The father? Does he paint? Oh, he was a fine artist. He taught the boy. But after the war, he lost all heart for it. And so he opened his camera shop to earn a living. It's a pity. The old man was a great engraver. Where does Herr Housman live? He has rooms at number 71, Mannheimer-Stasser, but he is ill. He's not nearly as ill as he's going to be. Yes, Mr. Dennis, I think we have enough evidence to arrest Mr. Housman on suspicion, at least. Well, he hasn't been at the store for several days. He may be here in his house. Well, let's go in then. We may have difficulty getting in to see him. Actually, it would be best if we are forced to make an entry to have the civilian authorities along. Well, I am here with you. There's a number 71. Let's go in it. It should be upstairs. He may not have any trouble at all, but have your 45 ready just in case. All right, sir. That is his name on the door. Who is there? The police. Away from the door.  No. What's this, Smithy? Did you hear that? It's got to be a trick. You'll blast us as soon as we walk through that door. Come in quickly. Cover me, you two. Everything is all right now. Who is this man on the floor? Pick up the pistol, Smithy. Is he dead? Yeah, I think so. I killed him. When you knocked on the door, he fired at you. I had my chance to kill him. The housemaid looked like he's hurt. Her housemaid looked... Yes, I'm hurt. Just lie still, her housemaid. I shall call a doctor. First, I must tell you, I am the man who engraved the counterfeit plates, but I suppose you know that now. Why? The one on the floor. He's a communist agent. Are you? No. But my son, I thought he had been killed. But later, I learned he was a prisoner of the Russians. They came to me and told me I must cooperate with the counterfeiting if I wanted my son to live. And so, Ilze, my daughter-in-law, and I, we helped. What could we do? Couldn't you have gone to the police? Yes, I suppose, but they held my son a prisoner. Father is always afraid. You... you can understand my position, no? But you gave us the name of our whack corporal who started us off on the trail. Why? Because I wanted this to be stopped in such a way that the communists could not blame me and punish my son. Was your daughter-in-law murdered? Yes. You see, we both were forced to help, but we tried to sabotage the communists at the same time. She passed the money badly, gave away too many counterfeit bills at the same time. Funny, no? When a man does something wrong and does not want to be caught, the police always catch him. Here, we wish to be caught. But nothing happened. Why was she murdered? We received a letter smuggled to us from a fellow prisoner of my son. He said, my boy died of illness. Oh. Well, then they no longer had a whip to hold over you. They tried. Ilza was on her way to the police when this one here on the floor and some of his friends stopped her. They... they were keeping me a prisoner. I was confined here to my rooms. You've got their names and everything else we might want to know about? Yes. I can tell you everything. You just rest quietly now, Herr Hausmann. You'll be able to tell everything to Army Intelligence. As Army military police criminal investigators, warrant officer Smith and Sergeant Dennis brought Herr Hausmann and his information to the special attention of Army Intelligence. Hausmann had names and descriptions which permitted our Army Intelligence to commence an operation which cost the Communists the services of at least five of their top agents. All concerned agreed that Hausmann had been forced to act against his will but was decided not to prefer any charges against him. Hausmann died of illness a few months later. But warrant officer Dennis and Sergeant Smith are still stationed in Western Germany. They still work out of the Provost Marshall's office. They and their organization are ever alert, always available for any assignment that will require them to safeguard the security of our armed forces, our country, and our allies. It shall not happen here. That is the unspoken prayer of every man in the United States Army. That is the unspoken reason for our growing military might. But the time has come to speak. The time has come to tell of that small phrase, those five words, it shall not happen here. Let us speak only to those young men of America who have not taken pause to think. Let's shout it in a voice that will reach into every city and village across the length and breadth of this great land. Young man, you are needed. You are needed to help preserve the peace. You are needed to serve in the United States Army to ensure for your loved ones that it shall not happen here. And while you serve, you'll be building a rewarding career for yourself. Everyone who wears the uniform of the United States Army is sharing in a service that is vital to our country. To each belongs the individual dignity which has characterized Army careers since the birth of our nation. In the Army, opportunity is open to all on an equal basis. Affording its young members of today a chance to become technical specialists, instructors, leaders of tomorrow. You are urged to visit your local United States Army Recruiting Station at your earliest opportunity and ask about the technical careers in the United States Army. Remember, the need is urgent. This has been another program on proudly we hail, presented transcribed in cooperation with this station. Proudly we hail is produced by the Recruiting Publicity Center in New York for the United States Army. This is Mark Hamilton speaking, inviting you to tune in this same station next week for another interesting story on Proudly we hail.
