My name is Ash Khan and I'm Ash confident you're going to come out of this seminar feeling like winners. Buy a show, no, that's because I didn't know where the clicker was, we're great presenters. But we are here to talk to you today about success. Buy a show of hands. How many people here want to succeed? Just what I thought. Now, and here's another one for you. Take a second. How many of you here want to be successful? Excellent. And how many of you feel like no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you're a stuck, successful? Yeah, that's okay. There's no shame. That's why we're here. And how many of you would like to feel stuck lessful? Okay, that's what I thought. Stay with us now, everybody. I'm very excited to change my successfulness to successfulness and to come out of this seminar being stuck lessful. We can do better than that, people. Let's do this.  You got it, you got it.  All right, all right. You know, as hyper-successful individuals, it's very common for us to get approached during business interviews or at trade shows or even just as we're strolling down the streets of Rio de Janeiro. A luxury city, the exact location of which is known only by the ultra-elite. And when these fans come up to us, they always ask us the same question. What is your secret? What is the secret to success? Well, you might be surprised to learn that we didn't just have success handed to us on little silver spoons on silver platters. From a young age, we faced countless challenges we had to overcome to get here.  She went as far as distracting us during trust fall exercises and replacing the mirrors in our house with fun house mirrors that our morning affirmations were warped into discouragement. It would have been easy for us to give up then and there to listen to those little voices in our head and to the loud outspoken voices of all the people around us, telling us not to pursue our dreams, that we would never make it. In spite of this, or perhaps, because of it, we persevered going on to win countless awards and accolades including three speakeasies, four golden gloats, five walkies, seven talkies, and multiple nominations for best slide transitions. Now, after decades of coaching and creating some of the greatest people and companies and pets in the world, we felt the responsibility to make our knowledge accessible to everybody. That's why we're here to share with you, Graham and Ashkahn's 57 Pillars of Success Trademark. Thank you. Thank you. Before we do that, let's take a moment to get to know each other a little bit.  Okay, excellent. Now I want everyone to turn to a person that you don't know. Four to six rows in front of or behind you. Good, good. Now we want you to introduce yourselves, but we're not just talking about normal pleasantries here, okay? We want you to look deep inside yourself and make a heartfelt introduction. In fact, we want the introduction to be so personal, we don't even want you to say anything. We want you to just concentrate on the person that you're looking at and really try to just silently communicate your very essence to them on the count of three. One, two, three.  Maybe for some of you, that'll be a connection that lasts a lifetime.  Now that we are all a family, let's get on to the pillars. There are 64 Pillars in Graham and Ashkahn's 57 Pillars of Success Trademark. That's 57 main Pillars, plus seven bonus Pillars, included at no extra cost in all of our programs, books, audio seminars, and t-shirts. Every pillar is in turn broken into 23 sub-pillars, known architecturally as balusters, as those of you who are pillar savvy, I'm sure, will already know. And each baluster is in turn divided into 100-centa-pillars. You see, one of the things that makes Graham and Ashkahn's 57 Pillars of Success Trademark systems so much more successful than other load-bearing-based business philosophies is the robustness of the Pillars. One should always be wary of too few Pillars. I'm sure you could build a small studio apartment with six Pillars, if that's all you're motivated to achieve. But who here among you would feel safe supporting even a single-story, palatial mansion with just six Pillars? I can see a lot of you out there shaking your heads, and you're right. That's obviously not enough Pillars. Not for the type of success we know you all are capable of. All right, all right, enough preamble. Who here is ready to hear the 57 Pillars? Let me hear you say yes. All right, all right. Who here is ready to learn? Let's get some yes, huh? All right, who here is ready to succeed? Who here is verbally authorizing us to withdraw $89.95 from your big account as a result of attending this seminar? Nice people, let's hear it, yeah. All right, let's do it. So we're going to start with pillar one, which is knowingness. Knowingness is fundamental to both knowledge and to knowing things. But how do you know how to cultivate your sense of knowingness? Let's break it down. There are 23 balusters that make up the pillar of knowingness. And let's start with baluster number one. Advice. In the pursuit of success, advice can be a helping hand. But there is so much advice out there, and it's so common. There's so many people saying things. How do you know what to listen to? Luckily, after years of research, we've determined that all advice can be neatly categorized into two distinct groups, good and bad. And what you guys are looking here for is the good advice. Just to clarify. And in order to be able to identify it, let's turn to our center pillars. The first of our 100 center pillars is credibility. It's extremely important to consider how credible the source is who's giving you advice. You're looking for expertise. And as a result, you want to find someone who's an expert in advice giving. You're mainly looking for people like best-selling authors, CEOs of successful companies, internationally acclaimed motivational speakers, life coaches, or anyone with guru in their name. These people basically have a PhD in being successful. And the more that they outwardly exude success, the more that you know that you can trust them. Famous people are simply incapable of giving bad advice. I mean, it's not like you can become successful simply by inheriting money and connections or, you know, because your social media content happened to correlate with the secret and complicated algorithm of a computer that put you into a positive feedback loop of promotion and visibility. That doesn't make any sense. Both of these are common examples of the myth of luck-cessfulness. Unfortunately, there are times in life where you'll be getting advice from someone who does not have the credentials of superstardom and that's when you'll need to actually listen to what they're saying. And that's where our next center pillar comes in. Actionability. Whenever you're listening to advice, there are some questions you're going to want to ask yourself to determine how actionable it is. Are, is the advice being presented concrete? Does it have direct goals that you can follow? Are the recommendations non-specific? Is the advice absent of these things? If the answer to these questions are yes, then you know that what you're looking at there is some solid grade A advice. You see, good advice usually consists entirely of grand intangible concepts like servitude and collaboration. The more specific and concrete the advice it is, the more actionable it is. And with action comes the potential for failure. On the other hand, abstract advice will never lead to failure because there's nothing to actually attempt to do. You go straight from listening to the advice to feeling accomplished. That's called living life in the fast lane. If you do find yourself getting advice that involves detailed instructions or numbered checklists, you can feel completely comfortable ignoring it. Later in Pillar 11, feigning interest. We'll go over on tips on exactly how to make ignoring people in social situations more productive and enjoyable for everybody. The next cent pillar we'd like to talk about is context. Good advice is universally good advice regardless of the context. It doesn't matter if you run a little brick and mortar shop and you're getting advice from the CEO of a multinational conglomerate with hundreds of thousands of employees. That's right. If there's one thing we know about business, it's that every company is exactly the same. And what works for one person will work for everyone else. And that's why at our organization, Pillar Power Incorporated, we use all of the most highly recommended business strategies that are out there. For example, every week we put our full staff through hours of team building exercises to optimize morale and communication throughout the organization. And even though we only have a single employee, Jeremy, the results have been amazing. In fact, the reports of interpersonal drama and conflict are the lower than they've ever been. We've also spent millions of dollars researching our target demographic, including online polls, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews. And now we can feel confident that we have been correctly directing all of our marketing efforts towards business people. So remember, does the person giving you advice offer a fundamentally different service or product than you do? Do they operate a business that's on an entirely different scale than yours? Are they in a different city or country with different cultural norms? It doesn't matter. Just ignore that little nagging voice in your head and implement whatever you hear, whether it makes sense for you or not. Context. It's universal. All right. How's everybody feeling? Good. Who here has found some new insights just from these first three centipillars? Excellent. Looks like everyone, as usual. You there in the blue shirt back there. I think I saw you raise your hand. What's your name? Steve? Great. Got it. Everyone say hi here to Steve. Steve, would you describe yourself as both impressed and inspired by what you've heard so far, perhaps even motivated to get back to working on your own venture with a renewed vigor and excitement that you haven't felt in years? Gaging by the audience, I do not think you're alone. Let's all give Steve a big round of applause for feeling to share that and for being vulnerable with us. Thank you, Steve. All right. Moving on to our fourth centipiller, which is implementation. With really good advice, implementation doesn't matter at all. Even if you mess up or you don't put a lot of time in implementing your plans, the power of the initial advice and intention will ensure success. If not, it wasn't good advice.  You've got to remember it's the quantity of advice that you take and implement that matters, not the quality. The quality of the results is predetermined, and I'll repeat this, predetermined by the quality of the idea. As a simple proof of this, just ask yourself this. Would I rather implement one thing in a day or 100? I can see a lot of you out there saying 100. And that's right. You know, our most successful students are amazed at how much they can accomplish when they just blindly follow as much advice as possible, rather than falling into the trap of doing any single piece of advice well. One tried and true strategy is to closely follow what's trendy and implement each new exciting idea as soon as you hear it. Next time you're listening to a podcast or reading a business book and you hear a good idea, see what you can do to implement it right then and there. Let me repeat this because it's important. Implement it right then and there. Cancel your meetings. Push aside whatever tasks you're supposed to be working on. In Pillar 40, accountability will go more into the importance of not holding yourself accountable to anything you've said in the past. Just remember, if you want to be a great human being, you need to first start by being a great human doing. Our next scent to pillar is delegation. Delegation is an important part of every leader's job, and that's why it's critical to delegate quickly and efficiently, ideally with this little guidance, planning, detail, or justification given to your employees at all. As a business owner, your main responsibility is to listen to as much advice as you can and to come up with exciting new ideas for your business.  Just yesterday we told our employee Jeremy to secure international trademarks for future countries we're likely to be popular in, to put together a feasibility report for this business idea I had in my dream the other night about edible furniture, to do our daily 45 minutes of yoga for us, and to submit our 30-page application to be considered for the powerful Pointer's Hall of Fame. Jeremy understands the secrets of pillar-based implementation that you're all starting to learn today, and he was able to accomplish all of this before lunchtime with a smile on his face. We didn't actually check in with him, of course. I mean, if you start checking in on all the ideas you've given to all your employees, you'll have no time left for the real work of making more. Follow-up is for followers, not leaders. Good ideas, combined with delegation, will almost magically manifest themselves into reality with absolutely no effort on your part at all, every single time. The next centipillar of the advice baluster is predictability. Always remember that you live in a world that is totally and entirely under your control. As the saying goes, the best laid plans always go off without a hitch. We know what you're thinking. Graham and Ashconn, my life experience, has led me to believe that I live in a vast and complex world with almost infinite amounts of variability and interdependency in that my life inevitably moved and swayed by the ever-changing tide of society, itself but a small blip in the giant and vast ununderstandable universe. Well, you're wrong. If you can't predict everything that's going to happen to you in the future, it's just because you're not trying hard enough. Luck and randomness and unexpected circumstances beyond your control are just myths. Let's do a little exercise. Everybody think back on the last two years of your lives. Can you think of anything that had even a minor impact on the way that you were living your life or running your business? Of course not. That's nonsense. So just remember, if you take some advice and it doesn't succeed, there's no possible way it was because of the random and uncontrollable world around you. A good idea is a good idea. You just messed it up. Our next centipillar is perhaps the most valuable piece of knowledge in all of Graham and Ashconn's 57 Pillars of Success trademark. This one piece of advice alone is likely to make you millions simply within the next year. It really is remarkable how simple it is. I'm sorry to inform you that you have run out of time. You need to bring your talk to its conclusion. But we were just... Well, I'm sorry folks. It looks like we ran out of time. We know what you're thinking right now too. The value of just these first six centipillars of the first baluster of the first pillar of Graham and Ashconn's 57 Pillars of Success trademark has already changed my life. And trust us, the best is yet to come. And we want to make sure you can benefit from all of it. And that's why today, as a special deal for all of you, don't tell anybody else about this. We're going to let you purchase the rest of the 57 Pillars in the form of a 184 DVD interactive course for the incredible promotional price of just $27,000 per pillar. That's over $600 million in savings from our normal retail price. And if you order today, we will throw in a 10 DVD mystery course completely free of charge. To purchase, just go over to Graham and Ashconn's 57 Pillars of Success dot trademark, and you'll be instantly taken to a payment screen. Or you can just hold your credit card up right now and Jeremy will come around and help you sign our friendly 936 page contractual payment terms. We'd like to thank you all for experiencing the Pillars with us and trust us, the thanks is mutual. Before we go though, can we see a show of hands? Or if you're simply too excited, which I know how it goes, just feel free to jump up out of your chair.  Alright. Alright, everyone. Perfect, perfect. We'd love to stick around, but we have to hop on our private helicopartments and fly off to another event in Portugal. Don't worry, for anyone who did want to hang out with us afterwards, we've recorded some DVDs, some CDs of small talk which are available for purchase at our booths. Thank you everybody, and you have a good night!

Here we have listed what I currently use it for so the only thing people really appreciate is the bug tag propagation or what I'll show you in a moment. This is probably the primary thing that worked. I also have some other test reports and stuff that I did which I'll show you at least the test status difference matrix. That's nice to look at It's nice to look at, but the actual usefulness of this stuff is maybe not so much. Because fundamentally if your data is noisy, all you can really do with that is filter the noise. And there's not really so much you need for doing that. In fact all you need to do is really look at your, whatever dashboard you have, go OK. Half the tests say they're failing for infrastructure issues. Then you can just at that point say okay, we need to go and fix that. And you'll get a lot more value for your time by just going and fixing that stuff instead of creating a data analysis framework and then trying to create some reports for that. This is my original motivation for creating JDP. I've kept this slide the same from when I started it. some of this stuff's still true. OpenQA, Bugzilla, all of these services, they're often very slow, throwing more hardware at it doesn't work because the code is slow. And fixing the code is difficult because there's such huge frameworks with so much complication. And yeah, as I said before the JDP is a general purpose framework in principal at least. So you can take data from from anywhere, it will put it into a local data cache, it will normalise it and then you can create reports on that reasonably quickly because it just works within memory data and you don't have to worry about say Bugzilla's API or anything like that so long as somebody has created a connector for you. I'm just going to now show you OpenQA. This is the OpenQA dashboard just for a single image build. So this is for, I can't see the thing now, I guess this is for the tumbleweed, oh no this is for silly enterprise Linux and each one of these is an OpenQA job module. And then inside each job module we have sort of a graphical representation of each stage of the test and something I have to point out is that in our case we're actually wrapping LTP in OpenQA. So normally in an OpenQA job you have a test module which is written in Perl and it has some logic for like send this key press, expect this response from the user, expect this image to appear and this kind of thing. For us because we're wrapping the LTP we've essentially written a test runner inside OpenQA that then displays each OpenQA LTP test and we don't use any of the graphical features we just do text matching. So basically up here you can see the machine booting and you can see here that there is an initial bit of screen matching but then we turn that off straight away and we just go to matching serial output because it saves a lot of performance and is much faster. And here you can see the output of one of the LTP tests. In this case it's one of the CVE tests which tests for some bug which had a security implication and we have the output there. And of course you can get the raw logs and other assets like images, the job might produce and everything like that. You can also do some basic filtering on the test results so you can just show the failures. One thing OpenQA does but doesn't do so well is bug tagging. So when you have a test case that's failing you may know that there's a particular bug for that test case, a product bug. And while that's being resolved you want to list somewhere okay this test result has this bug and you want to have that automatically propagated to new test failures so that you're not constantly just looking at the results and going okay this test failed again and again and again and we know why it's because of X, Y or Z. The same goes for if the test is simply broken itself. You may just want to tag the failure to say that okay this test is broken we want to keep running it but we also don't want to waste time each time we have a new build looking at this and saying this is a known bug. OpenQA itself can actually do this to a limited extent however I extended it with JDP and this comment just here is actually from JDP saying that we previously found this bug tag on another job that looked similar and so I've propagated it. And there's also some bugs which it didn't propagate for example say maybe the architecture doesn't match one bug to the other because sometimes you get a bug in ARM and it won't happen on X86 so you don't want ARM bugs being propagated to X86. So JDP has just recommended some other bugs for investigation but hasn't actually tagged them and the reason I didn't implement this into OpenQA itself is because essentially we could have lots of other test runners. For example we could start using the upstream kernel CI and then we'll have the same LTP test cases failing in upstream on a different testing framework that are also failing on our OpenQA test instance and really we want to share tags and propagate tags between those two instances. So we want a third party service which has some rules and say reads the BigQuery database and shares tags between those and JDP can do that quite well. And this is the thing that actually works very well and as we start to use more testing frameworks, I say start to be able to use more testing frameworks we can propagate these tags between them. The test status difference matrix this is something that's more questionable and I mean I've seen people do something similar to this quite a lot as well where okay so you have a lot of failing tests and you think to yourself well a lot of these are just failing week in week out I know that somebody is looking at it or whatever. I'm just going to look at what's actually changed because okay this thing is probably not interesting because it's not new so I'll make a report which just tells me what's changed. The problem I found is that basically the report which tells you what's only what's changed basically still just tells you the same thing which is your tests are noisy and that you have tests that are randomly failing. Most of these tests here will be randomly failing for infrastructure issues or as there's merely just a dash listed these tests didn't even run so the reports just saying this test result was missing from this tumbleweed build. So this is a Suze tumbleweed image and it's saying this test wasn't even run we expect it to be run because I've seen it before but it wasn't there. And really what this reports just telling is just telling you something you could see just by clicking on a few different builds and looking and saying yeah that's broken. Having said that I guess people still do look at this report from time to time and it can send out notifications when something changes which is another thing. People I guess think we want but actually when it comes down to it if you send out a notification either the person who receives it doesn't want the notification in which case they'll just block you. Or if it's really useful to you to get this notification then it means that you're not checking your results often enough. I mean similarly you can just send out a notification just saying this test failed and that's quite a good notification. If most of your tests always pass then one notification your test failed then that's fine. So yeah I'd advise steering away from this kind of stuff. On the other hand theoretically speaking if say 100% of our data was signal and we were just trying to do some analysis of the signal then things would be different. I mean in theory you could create something which automatically scans bugzilla then scans the error logs and matches errors in the logs to bugs in bugzilla. And this is something that people have done before. OK so JDP itself I decided that I wanted to make it as flexible as possible. So I decided I want to manipulate data in memory with just ordinary code. No SQL no other fancy no SQL query languages or you know anything that resembles SQL. I just wanted to take the language it's written in which because it's Julia it's fast so it's not like doing a query with raw Python which will be something like 30 times slower. You can you know if your algorithm is reasonably good then it should be able to do it at the same or even better performance than an ordinary database. But you have the freedom to use something which simply doesn't fit into SQL. And JDP has a whole bunch of different connectors to other data sources like bugzilla. Yeah open QA red mine QADB which is some internal thing we have get hopefully Jira at some point. And it could plug into all sorts of other things. And then when you're writing your query even if you want to access all these different providers and also syncs then you can just use one API you just have to use the JDP API. And yeah it also has a users redis as the data back end and redis is able to replicate the data between everyone's node. And it's quite easy at least in theory to set up a local node and do your work locally. So if you have unreliable data sources and even if JDP central instances disconnected for some reason then you will probably have a local copy of the data which allows you to keep working which is the same principle behind get essentially. And this is very useful when you say have an office in Beijing which has a really bad data connection between officers. So yeah and JDP is designed to not be a source of truth so I'm not using this as the primary data storage unit for test results. They live somewhere else they either live on open QA or they live upstream somewhere so that we keep the freedom of being able to simply delete the entire JDP database and redesign it. So that it can better perform its one function of simply doing data analysis and not acting as a reliable data store for the long term. OK and to be honest at the moment I'm taking a break from this because it's useful. This is questionable for our current problems our current problems resolve more around the testing itself so for now I'm just keeping an open mind and. Obviously we'll keep using it for tagging test results and that's all we'll see what happens again this is just you know he was involved so. I guess I might have finished quite early so people have questions please ask OK I mean so the question was how do you match failing test results against bug results. Like what are the properties or parameters and the answer is it's arbitrary and there's basically two ways that it can be done or more than two ways. I mean one obvious thing which is used sorry I'm getting in a mess here. One obvious thing that was used is actually just the test name. So when somebody writes a bug tag in think better did it here. You just write something like this like the DHCP D6 test and the DNS mask six test. They've been tagged with this red mine issue. OK and so in the if you don't provide any more information than just this then it will just match all tests with this name that are known to be in the LTP test suite so it has some name spacing for tests. So if you have some other random test in a in some other test suite with exactly the same name it won't tag those. It can figure out from the open QA context that this is an LTP test. Furthermore not sure we can see it here. JDP reads the bug data say from bugzilla or from red mine and it passes the title and it reads what architecture what products what component listed in the bug and then it decides whether basically if it has a failing test with the correct name. But say the bug is only listed against another product or another architecture then it won't tag it instead it will just post a tag recommendation which is the bottom square down there. And then if you realize that actually that book is really occurring on say more architectures or more products and you can update the bug and say actually this is this has a wider scope. And also the opposite if you see something being tagged if you see an obvious on bug being tagged. On the next 86 and you can set the architecture to in the bug correctly. OK does that answer your question. Anything else OK. OK so the question is is JDP being asked. Sorry is JDP just doing bug tagging or is it being used for other things. Well test execution all of that is handled by open QA or something else. Storing the test results and storing the bugs on a permanent basis something else does that JDP just caches the data from open QA or bugzilla or wherever and then performs some kind of workflow on it some kind of report. And those reports and workflows are arbitrary. They're just scripts. You can either use say a Jupiter workbook if you've ever heard of that to create a report or you can just write a Julia script that uses the framework. Practically speaking at the moment we just use it for both tagging. And I guess the status difference report which you can see here. This is actually just a static view of the Jupiter workbook. The Jupiter workbook is interactive so. You can actually connect to this and start changing the queries and start changing the way the report is displayed. And all of the code which makes up the report excluding the library functions is in the report. I won't even attempt to try and explain what it's doing. Partially because I haven't looked at it for a while and I'm not sure what it's doing. But basically you end up with this nice matrix view and I'm very proud of this matrix view. It's just maybe not the most useful thing practically speaking. So is that answer your question? Yeah, I mean this JDP also runs on a constant basis and actually runs in GitLab as well. It has a bunch of GitLab pipelines and these periodically regenerate the reports, re-update the local cache and do the bug tagging. Honestly no because, oh sorry. So the question is, is there a standardised input format for creating a tracker? JDP is built under the assumption that the rest of the world is a mess and you can't expect anybody to use your format. So it will go and query Bugzilla or OpenQA, use their API and bring the data into JDP, then normalise it and turn it into a nice format for the end user is writing the report. I guess in theory you could write a tracker which provides an interface like that. Lots of people have opinions on which test format to use and that kind of thing and I don't have an opinion, I'll just use whatever people give me. So the question is, let's say you have a build and some tests are mysteriously missing from that. Is that what you're saying? Say if there's an infrastructure issue and so... Okay. The answer is that the more systems you provide you'll have a smaller and smaller set of normalised data. So that's just a consequence of if you have lots of data sources with different formats. JDP also allows you to pass through the raw data. So you have a choice of doing whatever level of normalisation you want to do. So if a particular bug tracker gives you a lot more data to work with which is pretty much universally true, all the bug trackers have slightly different fields and some of them simply have things missing. If you want to use that information in your tagging algorithm for example you just have to insert some special code to take advantage of that. And I'd say again that's another thing where Julia makes that kind of thing really easy because it's so flexible. So I mean I think the answer to that is just yeah it happens that you end up having a tiny common set of information and all you can really do about that is create some extra codes to deal with these things in your algorithm. I think that's not really a thing that JDP could solve I don't think.


Alright, so our next step is to get a little more quantitative about predicting the ideality or the non-ideality of electrolytic solutes in solutions and how we can use the ionic strength to do that. So if we're talking about the ideality or non-ideality of a solute, the quantity we're interested in is the activity coefficient and perhaps the activity coefficient, the mean ionic activity coefficient for the entire solution, since cations and anions always come in pairs or in a particular stoichiometric ratio, or we can think of the activity coefficient for individual ions, maybe a sodium ion or a calcium ion. So we expect that the activity coefficient should go down further away from one, meaning the solution is getting less and less ideal as the concentration of the solution increases. So dilute solutions, if they're extremely dilute, they're going to behave relatively ideally. As the concentration increases, it's going to get less and less ideal and the activity coefficient is going to drop further below one. The other thing we expect qualitatively is going to happen is as the charge of an ion increases, let me put absolute value signs around that, so it doesn't really matter whether it's a cation or an anion, but a divalent anion like a calcium will be less ideal than a monovalent ion like a sodium. So the activity coefficient is going to decrease. This solution is going to get less ideal as the charge of the ion increases. So likewise a trivalent anion will behave less ideally than a divalent anion. So those two things we expect should be true, and in fact, if we look for a relationship that describes exactly how that works, we get this result which is called the Debye-Huckel limiting law. So this result, we'll consider in a little bit more detail, is an equation that allows us to predict using the ionic strength, using the charge of an ion, exactly what the activity coefficient is going to be. There's a constant in this expression. This constant, let me give you a value for that. That has a value of 1.172 in units of square root of kilograms over square root of moles. So that looks like an unusual unit, but that turns out to be the correct unit. That's the unit we need in order to cancel the units of molality of the unit strength which are inside this square root sign. It's also common to see this expression written in terms of a common log, a base 10 log, rather than a natural log. If you do prefer to use that expression as a base 10 logarithm, I'll write that one with an A prime for that constant. That constant, if you're using base 10 log, that's of course related to this constant if I divide this by the log, natural log of 10. I'll get this value 0.509. You might see this equation written with a natural log or a base 10 log with ionic strength in molarity or ionic strength in molality, but if it's in molality with a natural log, this is the constant we'll end up using. So we can think of this where this constant comes from in perhaps a couple different ways. We could think of it as being derived empirically. Imagine that I did some experiments and calculated how the activity coefficient depended on concentration. For a dilute solution, it's going to behave ideally, and the activity coefficient is going to be 1. The more concentrated the solution gets, the less ideal the solution is going to become. So for maybe a sodium chloride solution, it decreases like this. For a calcium chloride solution, because the charge of the calcium is larger, it's going to decrease a little bit faster. So that's what the curve is going to look like for calcium chloride. So that's maybe something of the sort that we would get by making experimental measurements. If I measure the, if I express the activity coefficient in terms of ionic strength rather than molality, what we'll find is if I plot those two curves now versus ionic strength, remember the ionic strength of a calcium chloride solution is larger than its concentration, so that's going to shift this curve over to the right. So the sodium chloride solution, the calcium chloride solution will be much more similar to each other, and in particular, at low concentrations, I can approximate them both with the same line. So the pink line I've drawn here is the prediction given by this Debye-Huckel limiting law, which says that all solutions, doesn't matter what it is, will have activities that depend on their ionic strength in a particular way. So the ionic strength is one way of taking account of the fact that the more strongly charged ions decrease their activity faster. So the other way of thinking of where these constants come from, the first way was from experiments we can just derive the slope of this equation. The second way is we can actually derive this equation not empirically but theoretically. We can write down some assumptions about how ions behave in solution and arrive at this equation completely theoretically. That will take a fair amount of work, enough work that if you did that work back in 1923 and your name was either Debye or Huckel, then you'd be quite famous. So we're going to postpone that for just a little bit, and first let's work an example or two using this equation just to make sure we understand how it works. So let's say we have, I think I'm going to use a 0.01 molal calcium chloride solution. Now using nothing other than the concentration, we can use the Debye-Huckel limiting law to predict what is going to be the activity coefficient, the mean ionic activity coefficient of that system. As a way of predicting how ideally or not ideally it should behave. So we'll do that step by step. First we can do it for each one of the individual ions in the solution. So let's say for the cation first, for calcium. In order to calculate the activity coefficient for calcium, we need to know this constant, we need to know the charge on the calcium ion, which is 2, and we need to know the ionic strength. So for both calcium and for chloride the ionic strength is going to be one half concentration of cation times ionic charge squared and concentration of anion to chlorides times 0.01 molar gives me 0.02 molar times ionic charge squared, 0.04 plus 0.02 halved, that ionic strength is going to give me 0.03 molal, which is very similar to an example we did in a previous video lecture. So that's the ionic strength. The log of the activity coefficient for calcium according to the Debye-Huckel limiting law is going to be negative 1.172 square root of kilograms per square root of moles. Charge on this particular ion, calcium is 2, that gets squared, multiply all that by the square root of the ionic strength, square root of 0.03 moles per kilogram, and now we can see square root of moles, cancel square root of moles, square root of kilograms in the denominator, cancel square root of kilograms in the numerator, so that was the reason for our strange looking units on the coefficient A, and when I negative 1.172 times 4 times the square root of 0.03 works out to be negative 0.81 unitless because all these units have canceled, which means after taking E to both sides, the activity coefficient for the cation is E to the negative 0.81, which is equal to 0.44. So we see that our cation, the calcium cations have an activity coefficient of 0.44 as predicted by the Debye-Huckel limiting law. If we do the same thing now for the anion, our chloride anion, the charge is different, that's negative 1. The ionic strength is exactly the same, so I'm multiplying by the, still by the square root of 0.03 mol. That arithmetic works out to be smaller by a factor of 4. The only difference in the arithmetic is I've turned this 4 into a 1. So instead of negative 0.81, I have negative 0.2, which means that the activity coefficient for the anion is E to the negative 0.2, which is 0.82. So again, the anion because it's singly charged is considerably less non-ideal than the cation, which is more strongly charged. We're not done. That's the activity of the cation, the activity of the anion. What we're interested in is the mean ionic activity. So gamma plus minus to the third, because I have a total of three ions in my salt, is activity of the cation to the one, activity of the anion to the two, because I have a one to two salt, one calcium ion to chloride ions. So now I combine these two single ion activities, 0.44 for the cation, 0.82 for the anion, so 0.44 to the one, 0.82 squared. That gives me gamma plus minus cubed. Gamma plus minus is that quantity. So this works out to be, I don't know what that one works out to be, but if I take the one third root of it, one third power of it, the third root of it, gamma plus minus works out to be 0.67 when I do that arithmetic. So that is the answer we were looking for. A 0.01 molal solution of calcium chloride, as we've used in several examples up to this point, has an activity coefficient, a mean ionic activity coefficient of 0.67, predicted theoretically by the Debye-Hookle limiting law. So that turns out to be in relatively good agreement at these concentrations with the experimental measurements that we would make, and we've made that prediction purely with this Debye-Hookle limiting law. So we can use this equation now both in a practical sense. We can predict activities or how ideal a solution will behave at a variety of concentrations using nothing other than the concentration itself, as long as this Debye-Hookle limiting law is valid. To understand better where this equation is useful, where it's not useful, where it comes from, it's also helpful to figure out where it comes from by deriving it from first principle. So we can consider that next.


proudly we hail from New York City where the American stage begins here is another program with a cast of outstanding players public service time has been made available by this station for your army and your Air Force to bring you this show as proudly we hail the jet indoctrination course students and instructors at the pilot instructor school Craig Air Force Base Selma Alabama this is the age of change in the air from propellers to jets today jet planes are commonplace and the special problems and challenges they present must be met at every Air Force base the commanding officers of these bases the jet squadron commanders the mats pilots who ferry the jet planes and many others but not only no propeller driven aircraft but also the jet and so your Air Force is set up a special training school for them the jet indoctrination course proudly we hail the jet indoctrination school Selma Alabama our first act curtain will rise in just a moment but first young man there's a future in flight for you today's jet age offers unlimited opportunities for young men between the ages of 19 and 26 and a half who are high school graduates and otherwise qualified yes you can proudly wear the silver wings and fly the mighty aircraft of your United States Air Force when you've completed your training for full details visit your nearest Air Force base or your nearest United States Air Force recruiting station tomorrow and now your Army and your Air Force present the proudly we hail production 76 hours here's my six solo mission card captain well had to go today general fine it about two dozen turns at altitudes up to 15,000 at 96% power loops at 425 miles per hour have any trouble with them sir not with a jet at t33 is a sweet plane of life now let's see you did those Cuban eights at 425 and the Imelmans at 425 huh ran down the whole card landed with 83 gallons according to the gate well so that's it you're a graduate of the jet indoctrination course Jim can I speak to you for a minute oh hello general how's it coming sir we've lost him what do you mean lost him that's right I'm afraid I'm out mm-hmm he's an ex-student now a graduate he just completed his six solo oh congratulations general Harlan thank you major Warner this jet course has been quite a challenge to me I've enjoyed it very much now that's a fine recommendation would you excuse me for a moment sir say captain here's something which will interest you last minute edition the new class Colonel Frank Kennedy arriving from Washington today at 1500 hours what but it just might be your father well it is but I thought he was at the Pentagon for life well I think he's already arrived there was a call at operations for you about half an hour ago see it's five o'clock now he must have landed while I was up with major griggs on his first dual ride when you see Colonel Kennedy would you give my regards we're all friends from the staff school certainly sir I hope you too can get together before you go on to your new command at Clovis would you gentlemen excuse me I'd like to go find dad congratulations again general it's been a pleasure to have you in the school certainly captain if your reports are in your throat for the day take off holy cow I almost forgot forgot what Gloria my wife she'll want to have the old man to dinner clear the phone domestic crisis looming at the Kennedy household hi dad what are you doing down here well son I I just got tired of sitting behind a desk at the Pentagon there's a new jet fighter wing being formed at Great Falls I requested a transfer and finally got it gee how does mother feel about it oh she's acting like a bride she's still in Washington closing up the house and arranging for the moving man she'll be down here before we go west oh you're looking great yeah so are you a house glory just fine which reminds me she's expecting us both home to dinner at six wonderful I've been looking forward to some of her fried chicken ever since I knew I was coming to Selma how come you got down here so last minute your name wasn't on the original class oh it was touch and go in Washington first they said they couldn't spare me well you know what that's like well most of the students arrived the Friday before classes begin you know that gives them the whole weekend to look around here it is Tuesday and school starts tomorrow then I'll have less time to get nervous nervous you you know all the times I was overseas during the war all the combat missions all the flights and bombings I was never as scared as I am right now I'm not a kid Jim but three weeks I'm gonna be in a whole new world of flying a young man's worth I want to be part of this world but maybe I'm too old that's enough to worry anybody don't you think not you dad for you it'll be duck soup thanks I wish I were as sure of it as you one thing I am sure of though is that it's nice to have a son with that much faith in his old man come on let's eat good morning gentlemen welcome to the jet indoctrination course in building 213 your headquarters for the next three weeks as captain Kennedy here can tell you you're going to work hard but you're also gonna have fun I'm major Warner Walter Warner I'm the commander of the school may I present captain Kennedy good morning now you're gonna have 76 hours of actual training 34 will be academic and will cover such subjects as flight characteristics of jet aircraft and related psychology aircraft engineering basic instruments navigation and weather 42 hours will be flight training which includes approximately 20 hours in the air and you won't be qualified combat pilots when you finish takes more than three weeks to teach a man enough for that but you will be trained sufficiently to do the jobs that are ahead of you you air defense command and headquarters Air Force men will be qualified as base commanders and squadron leaders where jets are involved you match pilots will be indoctrinated in jet operation you men from the continental air command will be prepared for setting up reserve units for the 12th and 14th air forces and so on and now outside of the actual indoctrination course there are additional things that you may find useful for the future like visiting runway control the refueling section and special maintenance these visits are optional of course but are sure to help you to a more complete understanding of your future duties whatever they may be and one more thing as I look around here I see a very normal situation for JIC there are 14 of you in this class and eight of you outrank me ten of you outranked Jim here now please gentlemen remember that we are the instructors and you are the student there are times when we will have to give you orders they will only be meant to help they have your schedules gentlemen your next stop is personal equipment you will find personal equipment in that quonset hut right next to base operations down the flight line take it easy get plenty of rest no picnic that you have ahead of you at 30,000 feet now Colonel and unless you keep pretty still you're going to feel the effects of hypoxia would you go over that again please what is hypoxia exactly captain well in the first place I've instructed you all to remain seated the reason for that is when the body lacks sufficient oxygen as yours does now in this high altitude chamber at 30,000 the slightest exertion will make you blackout and that goes for me too even though I've been in here many times before now not only that but before you reach the blackout point you'll find it very difficult to perform even the simplest task all right now to illustrate what I mean Colonel will you come over here to this table please sure thing all right now move slowly now okay there you are now on this table before you is a board with holes in it next to the board are pegs that fit into these holes would you place the correct pegs in the correct holes well that should be easy now let's see that one goes where where does it go it's round but I concentrate Colonel it's a round peg it goes in a round hole that's right now can you put it there Roy I don't know I'll try Sergeant Chamberlain put an oxygen mask on the Colonel quickly yes sir after you all have had a try at the board to see the effects of hypoxia we will figuratively return to the ground you'll get your seat ejection training pay attention to the instructor for if you have to get out of a jet traveling at five or six hundred miles per hour one mistake is one too many a general squires you're next will you come over here please sir at this hour classes over for today yeah it is I thought I'd go over to runway control and look around feeling all right sure sure a little tired I've been studying four and five hours a night the old knocking doesn't absorb as fast now don't worry dad everyone has the same trouble from what I hear you're at the top of the class hi Colonel how's it coming well I think we have a worrier on our hands Walt a worrier that's been here a week and he's worrying that he's not going to make it oh no it's not that really I just feel I'm not getting the most out of all the rest to learn in this course well sir we've trained a lot of senior officers here and I can tell you one thing for sure we never lost a father yet Colonel watch your pre-flight briefing are there any questions my head so crammed with facts and figures and emergency procedures I'm dizzy it'll probably take me the next six months to get them sorted out you think so now Colonel but when you get up in that plane tomorrow on your first dual flight you'll change your mind amazing just how fast you learn to put those theoretical facts into practical use perfect but remember it's theory you've been spotting you should ever have to perform emergency procedures when you're in a plane and I hope you don't it's the execution that counts thanks for reminding that's it then we've gone over the maps of the local flying area radio stations how to fill out the flight reports acrobatic maneuvers landing and takeoff instructions everything you need to know and now before we quit for the day may I make a suggestion of course eat simply but well tonight and tomorrow morning and get plenty of sleep remember tomorrow you're entering a new world of flight for the first time the world of jet see you 1130 hours here at 213 right cap tomorrow's d-day dual at 1130 hours you're listening to the proudly we hail production 76 hours we'll return in just a moment for the second act of our story young man an interesting career lies ahead of you if you can qualify as an aircraft observer in your United States Air Force as a flying officer you'll be an important member of the fighting team on one of the great aircraft produced in this era of jet aviation the United States Air Force needs these technical specialists officer personnel skilled in navigation aircraft maintenance radar interception and other important skills there's a future for you as an aircraft observer in your country's Air Force can you qualify well if you're single between 19 and 26 and a half and a high school graduate visit your nearest Air Force Base or your nearest United States Air Force Recruiting Station and find out you are listening to proudly we hail now the second act of our story 76 hours it's Friday morning of Colonel Frank Kennedy second week in the jet and doctor nation course at Craig Air Force Base Alabama in his head are facts and figures thousands of them as he walks out to the T-33 on the flight line they buzz around in his head like a thousand bees he's heard all about jets he studied all about them now his first flight he's piloted propeller driven planes dodged ACAC fire fought his way through swarms of enemy fighters but this is a new world a new age and there's a little doubt maybe he isn't young enough for this world maybe here she is number 208 she's a beautiful plane hope I do well by it don't you worry about it think sir you'll do fine now let's check her over first that's a must before every takeoff Roger as you were told in academic sir start with the landing gear checking the brakes the connections the hydraulic system and the tires can you see Roger this wheel seems to be okay enough for the other one you take over Roger brakes seem to be okay connections are secure hydraulic systems okay tires seem to be just about right Roger now let's go over the surface of the plane every outside surface should be clean smooth and securely riveted after that we checked the tailpipe the engine blades and the air intake duct many of these things didn't function properly in the air when you were high tailing it along at five or six hundred miles per hour you wouldn't be in the least bit happy well that's the understatement of the year well now for the fuel tanks we start with a wingtip tank on one side and work across the plane the tanks as you can see open by unscrewing this tip tank is full this wing tank is too okay sir let's climb in this first time I'll see to it that you're in securely after this it'll be up to you thank you slip your parachute harness over your shoulders all right now attach the tube coming from your oxygen mask to the plane's oxygen supply put your helmet on and adjust your oxygen mask to fit your face securely Roger everything's done good I'll be sure to keep your arms clear of the canopy once I get in because when I lock it it's really going to slam shut as soon as I get set we'll get our engine started and we'll be off we'll be talking on the intercom Roger oxygen on full Colonel I'm closing the canopy will be a little warm till we get off the ground Roger safety bout secure Colonel few minutes will be in the blue there goes the old man will have Betty's excited no doubt about that funny isn't it what ever since I was born my father's worried about me now I'm the one who's worrying about him power to about 96% that will go on up to 30,000 safe fuel these planes burn about 15 gallons a minute on the ground don't Roger and only about four or five at 30,000 that's why we get up there so fast feels awful far away for being airborne such a short time yes because these jets move so fast because students are not familiar with navigation problems while moving at high speeds a lot of them get lost at least once while in the school we're only doing 350 wait till we really open her up I'm waiting now you see that dial on your right the g-force dial hello well that shows the gravitational pull on the plane the idea is that your body is moving one way and suddenly it's pulled another during the few moments when the body's forces in one direction and the mechanical pull is in the other the force in the body that is to say the pull is tremendous Roger now one of the first things we always do is to give you a taste of g-forces at work after you fly jets a lot you'll be able to take up to eight g's without blacking out I'll only get up to four or five this time the blacking out comes when the blood in the head rushes to the feet as the body stops moving in one direction suddenly tighten your stomach muscles and your throat muscles and the blood won't be able to get down so easily prevents blackout Roger and the best man you over forgetting the g-forces up without diving and pulling up sharply to make a really tight turn you're ready for one now ready as I'll ever be here we go two g's how goes it your body's not being subjected to a pull three times out of normal gravity I'm still with you three and a half had enough that just about well how was the first ride today oh it was great except I blacked out at four g's oh that's pretty good I blacked out at three on my first flight no you're kidding of course I'm not kidding if you remember hearing the instructor say for and seeing it on the dial you did real well that's encouraging to hear you're doing fine dad you have up till now all right I'm convinced now you'll have to excuse me early tonight though I'm practically asleep of course dad finish your dessert and go quietly you know I find I need twice as much sleep down here as I used to in Washington well that's natural you're burning up twice as much energy have another piece of pie dad if you're really working as hard as Jim says you are you not only need twice as much sleep but three times as much to eat or in the midst of your first solo how are you feeling proud of yourself aren't sure you'd get this far well you have you recorded instrument readings at various altitudes practice chandels lazy eights loops and all the rest you're almost ready to go home now let's see according to the gauges you've got about 150 gallons of fuel left plenty to get home with now where's the base well Colonel this is a fine kettle of fish you're lost I remember that we were told during your first ride that getting lost is an easy thing to do when you first start flying jets they move so fast in unfamiliar territory lots of people get well yes I'm no different because I'm lost but good better ask Maxwell direction finder for a little help Maxwell DF this is Air Force jet 208 request steer to base Roger transmitting for steer Maxwell DF my steer to Maxwell is 144 degrees steer to Craig is 178 thank you without come on Colonel let's go home from his final solo that him on the approach now 208 that planes his baby he really loves it he's been a fine student he's gonna do a swell job when he gets to great falls don't I know it as wheels are on the ground that was a great a landing how about that you never doubted he'd make it did you Jim no never but he is almost 50 Walton well I was afraid he'd have a rough time not me first time I met him I said to myself the old boy is gonna be all right he takes after his son she's out in the kitchen making more sandwiches I asked him not to but you know her she has to help my she just finished closing a 10 room house traveling 750 miles down here and she has to be a hostess what a gal where's the JIC grad I haven't seen him for the last few minutes either oh he's over there with Walt hey just a minute everybody hold it down to Aurora the toast I'll get mom you better start there as quiet as they're gonna be yes you're right ladies and gentlemen may I propose a toast I like to see somebody stop you I want to toast my old man now dad the first day you came down here you said you were nervous about starting the course at JIC and I said that for you it'd be duck soup well maybe it wasn't as easy as that but you did a great job you thought you were too old but you proved you weren't so here's to you to the youngest old man in the Air Force Colonel Frank Kennedy and now do you think you can maneuver the youngest old man into the kitchen I think so secrets or may I come to of course you can I'll take matters okay Mrs. Mystery dad Gloria wants us in the kitchen I'm coming we're here honey now what's the mystery I have sort of a present for dad I've already told mom that's a funny kind of present kind of but I think you'll like it just came today you see dad the Kennedy family is going to have a new aviation cadet in the family what Gloria why that's the nicest present I've ever had between graduating from JIC in this why it's the most wonderful day of my life young man there's a

Radio's outstanding theatre of thrills is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines, that's R-O-M-A, Roma Wines, those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live, to your happiness and entertaining guests, to your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now a glassful would be very pleasant, as Roma Wines bring you Hume Cronin, in a remarkable tale of... Suspense! Right in here, Doc. What happened, Sergeant Hurley? I picked this guy up in a depot. I've been looking for him for three days. He's standing in the crowd screaming somebody made a sucker out of him. Getting vile. Well, I better have a look at him. No, he's gonna hurt you. He made a sucker out of me. There he goes again. Who made a sucker out of him? Yeah, sure, she made a sucker out of me. Hand me my bag. Here. What are you gonna do, Doc? I've got something to quiet him down. You think he's pulling an act? I'm trying to tell him. Maybe temporary insanity. Pull up his sleeve.  She made a sucker out of me. Who did? Who made a sucker out of me? Fate. It was fate, I tell you. Yeah. Yeah, that was a gag. This guy's crazy. Maybe. Yeah, that's fine. I fought him. Yeah. Let's stuff put him to sleep. Should. How long are we gonna be under? About 10 hours. Okay. She ran out on me. Left me flat. It's starting to work. Very fast reaction. I'll come back and question him later. And what's the info? Murder. Who'd you kill? Some cheap confidence mug, but the motive we haven't got. You see, Wallingford's my name. Charles Richard Wallingford. Yeah. Don't call me Smith. Hey, get that. He's talking in his sleep. Sometimes they do under the influence of a sedative. Not Wallingford. Especially when they have something in the conscience they want to get rid of. I'd better take notes. And you stay here as a witness, doc. Yeah. That's me. Charles Richard Wallingford. What?  No, sir. I'm no banker or executive. I'm just a guy who worked in a porter in a big office building downtown. But I don't want you to think I didn't have any ambition. No. I know that someday I'd get my break, and when I did, there was nothing going to stop me from going places. No, sir, not a thing. Now, take that night, for instance. It was six o'clock, and most of the offices were emptying out. I had my broom and mop. I was ready to start cleaning the office of PJ Rogers. PJ, he's the president of the Apex Advertising Agency. I always like to start with a top, boys. I looked around PJ's office. Soft, easy chairs. Lots of buttons to push to make people jump. Yeah, this would be the life. Well, I started my broom going.  Now, get this. I don't know whether it was fate or just plain curiosity, but I read what was written on it. It was a memorandum from the desk of S.M. Parry to PJ Rogers, and it said, The judges have decided that the winner of the toothpaste contest is Pat Smith of Boston. Now, I knew that that was the century toothpaste contest that just ended last week. Twenty-five thousand smack a rose to the winner. And this guy, Pat Smith of Boston, won it. Some guys have all the luck. Just for writing a slogan. Twenty-five thousand dollars, and this dog guy doesn't even know he won it yet. He don't even know he won it. But I do. I got what's called an inspiration. According to the radio, the winner won't be announced until the 15th of this month. Today's only the 12th. Charlie, my boy. Charlie, my boy, I say to myself, when fate decides to hand you a break, who are you to turn it down? I stalled around until I'd made sure everyone had left the agency. Then I went for the filing cabinets that had the entries. They were listed from A to Z. I found the names that began with S, and I started looking for Pat Smith from Boston. There were over 200 Smiths, Abe Smith, Betty Smith, Carl Smith. I went through them until I came to Ollie Smith, and the next one was Pat Smith of 500 Commonwealth Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts. I copied the address in the slogan. Brother, to me, that slogan sure sounded corny. But who am I to judge $25,000? I went downstairs to the locker room, I changed my clothes, I beat it over to Grand Central, and I caught the midnight to Boston. 500 Commonwealth Avenue is a big hotel with a sign reading for men only. I walked up to the desk. May I help you, sir? Yeah. You have Mr. Pat Smith staying here? Pat Smith? Now, let me see, George Smith, Harry Smith. Ah, Pat Smith. Yes, sir? Room 1133. 1133, thanks. Oh, I see. Mr. Look, we have... The clerk started to yell something after me. The elevator door closed and I didn't wait. I wish I had, but I didn't. My name's Wallingford. Charlie Wallingford. I'd like to talk to you. Or a buy. About $25,000. Is this a joke? That kind of money isn't funny, mister. Come on in. Thanks. I'll just move my clothes and you can sit down. Yeah, thanks. Thanks a lot. Now, what can I do for you, Mr. Wallingford? Mr. Smith. How would you like to make $12,500? That's a lot of money. It sure is. What do I have to do? You went to the Century Toothpaste Contest, didn't you? The slogan contest? Yeah, how'd you know? I worked for the people that run the contest. I see. And I can fix it so that you can win first prize. I'm beginning to understand. Good. Then I don't have to do any explaining. It isn't exactly legal, is it? Well, maybe not. I thought all these contests were running up and up. They are. This happens to be an unusual circumstance. I see. Somebody had to win. It might as well be you. Tell me, why have all the contestants did you happen to pick me? Oh, I don't know. Just chalk it up to fate. And suppose I don't agree to your proposition. Then I'll find somebody else who will. Simple as that? Yeah. All right. Is it the old Mr. Wallingford? Just plain Charlie to all my business friends. That's a shake. Yeah. Well, I suppose you're busy. Not at all. Don't you have some kind of job you got to get to? No. That's why I came to Boston. Oh. How long you been here? Two days. Wait a minute. How come your entry had this address? Oh, I reserved this room a month ago. I've been using it as my mailing address. Oh, I see. Where you from, Pat? Nowhere in particular, just where my business takes me. You don't say. Got any family? No, not a soul. Maybe have friends here in Boston. Not a one. Gee, that's too bad. Why the look? Well, nothing I was just thinking. About the money? Right the first time. You know, it's too bad our paths didn't cross before. Why's that? I think we'd have made a good team. What's your racket? Stocks and bonds. Sell them? Legitimate? What do you think? I don't. Say, isn't contests out of your alley? That's just a hobby. Well, sometimes they pay off, huh? Well, come on, let's blow this place. We'll really celebrate our little deal. Or anything you say. I knew I had this guy figured from the second I laid eyes on him. Just a small time confidence mug. And I knew he wasn't going to play 50-50 with me. No, sir. The minute he got his hands in that dough I'd have to sing for my half. So I decided to take it all. Yeah. I could be Pat Smith for a couple of days. And just so there wouldn't be too many Smiths, I fixed this one up with a one-way ticket. We went to a place for coffee and sandwiches. I had some of my sleeping pills with me and by the time we got to the apple pie, he was feeling them. They're wrong with me. What's the matter? My head. I'm going around the top. Oh, come on.  Here we are. The arrow's straightening out. You will. Where are we going? Just walking. All the way down. Hey, take it easy. Easy? Yeah, stand up. Hey, on this dock. Just to get you some air. Bring you around. Wrong, mister. Well, nothing, officer. My friend here isn't feeling very good. All right. Let me have a look at him. Sure. I just want to lay it down. Okay, mister. I just want to check up.  Oh, you can't be too careful. No, sir. Good night, officer. I was up until the cop disappeared under the fog. Smith had passed completely out of the picture. Dragged him down to the end of the dock. I looked around me and I found a piece of lead pipe. I stripped off his clothes and I changed with him. I stuck the pipe under his belt and I pushed him into the water. I watched his body sink. Then I left the dock. I went back to the hotel and I went up to Smith's room. After a while, I went to sleep. Yeah? Mr. Smith? Speaking. Well, there's a young lady waiting for you. Waiting for me? Yes, sir. She says she's your fiancé. For Suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you as star Hume Cronin in Too Many Smiths by Arthur L. Gray. Roma Wines' presentation tonight in Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills. Suspense. Between the acts of suspense, this is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines. Visiting friends in Hollywood, I noticed that more and more of them now entertain with wine. And of all wines served in America, Roma, of course, is the most popular. There are good sound reasons so many smart Americans prefer Roma wine for entertaining. Roma wine is moderate, inexpensive, and easy to serve. And Roma wine is always delicious, always unvaryingly fine. For Roma, America's greatest vintner is able to select from more grapes of choice varieties from California's finest vineyards than any other winery. And to this rich treasure of fine grapes, Roma adds years of wine making skill and resources unmatched in America. Yet, Roma wine, America's first choice, costs no more than ordinary wines. Right now, Roma dealers are featuring fine red Roma California table wines. Burgundy, Claret, Zinfandel. For an adventure in good dining, try Roma Burgundy, Claret, or Zinfandel with a juicy steak, savory pot roast, or spaghetti with meat sauce. You'll discover food with Roma is food at its best. So insist on Roma, R-O-M-A, Roma wines, enjoyed by more Americans than any other wine. And now Roma wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage, Hume Cronin and too many Smiths. A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. I lay there, paralyzed with that phone in my hand. Do you hear me, sir? You're fiancé. My fiancé? Yes, sir. Oh, yeah, okay. I'll be right down. She'll be waiting for you in the reception room. This didn't jive. Smith said he didn't know anybody in Boston. He started to break out in a sweat.  Trying to avoid it would make things look suspicious. I took my time dressing, but my mind was going like a machine gun. But it was no use. Nothing I could do but to face her and try and bluff my way. Pardon me, miss. Are you looking for Pat Smith? Yes. Well, I'm Pat Smith. Oh, I'm afraid there must be some mistake. I guess there is. Yes, the Mr. Smith I'm looking for is my fiancé. You sure he's registered in this hotel? I am very sure. Wow. How foolish of me. There must be two Pat Smiths here. You and my fiancé. Yeah, of course. Yeah. I never thought of that. It's such a big hotel. I'll ask the clerk. Yeah, do that. Goodbye, Mr. Smith. I'm awfully sorry. I disturbed you. Well, that's okay. Two Pat Smiths. That was something I hadn't counted on. I watched her cross the lobby to the desk. She spoke to the clerk. He smiled and picked up the phone. The dame sat down and waited. In a few minutes, a middle-aged guy walks up to the desk and the clerk pointed out this dame to him. I took a good look at this other Pat Smith and I beat it into the elevator and went upstairs to my room. I headed for the desk and I started going through the late Pat Smith's things. I found his papers and then I saw what I was looking for. A copy of the slogan he'd written. Oh, brother, I breathed the sigh of relief. It was the same as the one I'd copied from the agency's files. Fate is sure sticking closer to me than a suspicious wife.  I didn't sleep at all good that night. Around 8 a.m., I headed for the drugstore in the lobby. My head was buzzing. I wanted a cup of black coffee. As I was drinking my second cup, I glanced in the mirror in front of me and I saw the second Pat Smith come in. I turned around to watch him buy some stuff at the counter. Razor blades, shaving cream, soap and a large tube of Century Toothpaste. Century Toothpaste was only then it began to creep into my mind. Maybe this Pat Smith had entered the contest also. And if so, maybe he was the guy that was going to collect the 25 grand. Maybe I've been barking up the wrong tree. Sick week, empty feelings settled in my insides. I put a quarter on the counter and I followed Smith into the lobby. I beg your pardon. Yes. In your name, Smith? Pat Smith? Yes, it is. Funny thing, but that's my name also. Oh, yes. Yes, I heard there was another Pat Smith staying here. You mind if I sit down? No, no, go right ahead. Thanks. Kind of funny, two Pat Smiths living under the same roof. Oh, I don't know, Smith's a very common name. Yeah, you're right there. You know, that's how I met your girlfriend. Uh, my girlfriend? Yeah, the tall blonde, good looking name. Oh, yes, yes, I remember. But wasn't she looking for you? I don't get you. Well, the clerk telephoned me in my room that she was waiting downstairs and when I met her it seems that I wasn't the Pat Smith she was looking for. Uh, darn it. You what? No, so naturally I assumed it was you. There couldn't be a third Pat Smith here. Well, hardly. I spoke to the clerk about it and he checked the register. Maybe she had the wrong hotel. Well, I doubt that very much because I've seen her about the lobby the past few days. You have? Mm-hmm. Why, what's wrong? Oh, nothing. Nothing, I'm just thinking. Yeah. I see you're doing a crossword puzzle. Yes. Are you interested in puzzles? Sometimes. I like contests better. You know the kind they have on the radio? Uh-huh. You ever enter one of those? Well, as a matter of fact I have. How about the Century Toothpaste Contest? Oh, of course, $25,000. That's it. That's quite a big prize to shoot for. Yeah, it is. What kind of slogan did you write? Well, I think it's pretty good. I got a copy right here in my pocket. Would you care to read it? Sure would. Let me see now where it is. Here it is. I, uh, I don't think it'll win first prize, but it might win one of the lesser ones. Well, what do you think, Pat? Yeah. That's pretty good. Much better than the one a certain party I knew wrote. Didn't take no book critic to see that the slogan this Smith wrote was the better of the two.  If I'd looked through the files of the agency more carefully, I'd have seen that there were two Smiths and which Smith won the dough? I was in a tough spot. Tonight at 10, they were going to announce the winner. I had just six hours to figure out an angle or lose 25 grand. Hello? Hello, Mr. Smith. Who's this? Mr. Smith's fiancee. Remember? Yeah, I remember. What do you want? I think you and I better have a little talk. What about? About my fiancee. Where are you? In the lounge. I'll be right down. Well, hello. Sit down, won't you? Okay, what's on your mind? You. Me? Gee, I'm flattered. You needn't be. Okay. What about me? It's so interesting. Why you killed Pat Smith? I don't know what you're talking about. Let's not be stubborn about this, Mr. Wallingford. Must I repeat my question? No. Who are you? You already know that. What's your name? Betty. Betty what? I'm asking the questions. How do you know he's dead? It's in the evening papers. Let me see that. Here. Police discover body in Charles River. First thought of Charles Wallingford, but fingerprints taken from the dead man proved his identity to be Pat Smith, a small-time confidence man watered by the police in three states. The police are looking for Wallingford. New York City police have discovered that Wallingford's been missing in the house for the past five days. You see how I know. Where do you fit? I was supposed to meet Smith here. We had a little job planned. Oh, I see. And you went and spoiled it. Why? Come on. Come on. Start talking. If I don't like the tone of your conversation, maybe the police will. Well, I couldn't see any way out but to tell you the whole story. I couldn't bluff. I was scared and she knew it. She didn't say anything while I was talking. She always stares at me. I always told Pat those contests would be the death of him. Well, that's how it is. This other guy will collect all the dough. You giving up so easily? You have any ideas? $25,000. There's a fool to get mixed up in this in the first place. Are you sure this Smith is going to win? It can't be anyone else. You've gone so far. Why not take another step? What do you mean? I met this other Smith just as I met you. Yeah, I know that.  I could see he was kind of sorry I wasn't his fiance. So? I don't think Mr. Smith would mind very much taking a walk with me down by the river. Maybe holding hands? Let's see what you mean. Just the way you did the other job. Well, I don't know. I'm scared. No, no, no, I'm game. Good. Look, you get him on that dock. I'll take over from there. Don't worry, don't worry. He'll be there. Yeah. By the time the cops fish him out of the river, they're going plenty of distance. You mean we go together? What's the matter? Don't I appeal to you? Oh, sure, sure. Oh, wait here. I'm going to phone him and cast out the bait. Okay. Here's hoping he bites. Don't worry, he will. I watched her walk out of the lounge to the phone booth across the lobby. Every eye on the joint on her. I knew Smith didn't have a chance. And if I hung around her, I wouldn't eat it. Oh, she was murder that day. After this job was over, I was heading in the opposite direction. I could see her talking and when she hung up, I could tell by the expression on her face that Smith was a cooked turkey. He'll be down in five minutes. You better beat it. Okay, baby. You're carrying the ball from now on. See you on the dock. I glanced back at the table and she was sitting there, calmly powdering her nose for the kill. Then fate stepped in again. I don't know why, but it suddenly hit me that maybe she was giving me the double cross. After all, how long do I know the dame? I went back into the lounge through the street entrance and I managed to sneak into a booth behind the one she was sitting in. In a few minutes, Smith came in through the lobby entrance and walked over to her. Good evening. I came down as quickly as I could. So I see. I suppose my phone call surprised you. Oh, yes. Yes, indeed. I'll come to the point, Mr. Smith. Somebody is going to murder you. What? Please keep your voice down. Oh, I'm sorry, but in Heaven's name, why would anyone want to murder me? For $25,000. I don't have that much money. You will. Look, I don't understand. The century toothpaste contest. You hit the jackpot. How do you know? The winner won't be announced until 10 tonight. I have a way of knowing these things. I'm going to call the police. Sit down, Mr. Smith. I got a better idea. She lowered her voice, but by straining, I got wind of what she was pulling. I was clear. She wanted the money, but without a murder rap. Then she was going to tip off the police about me, which would give her clear sailing with Smith and the dough. Yeah. She was clever, all right. But you know, it was funny. It didn't burn me up. I wasn't even sore. I was just tired and scared. I wanted to get away anywhere so long as it was far from Boston. I had a few dollars left, so I beat it. I went to the railroad depot. I trained and leave for an hour, so I walked around. I bought a paper. I felt like a punch-drunk fighter. I was licked, and I knew it. Faded, let me down, all right. I was through. While I was standing in the crowd, waiting for the gate to open, when I saw it. Right there in the front page, I saw it. I started to laugh. Yeah. I couldn't stop. It was right there in the front page. I just broke up this time. Hey, officer! I was tired. What's wrong with this man? You? What's the matter with you, buddy? Hey. Hey. You're Charles Wallingford. It is Pat Smith. You're wanted for murder. What a story. It starts out as a simple swindle and winds up murder. Yeah. But a story still doesn't tell me what's going on in the room. What's that, Tuck? The cause for his temporary insanity. Oh, it doesn't, it there. Hey, that newspaper. He was reading... Where is it? On the first page. Yeah, here. Take a look at this. The winner of the $25,000 Century Toothpaste Contest was announced last night. The lucky winner was... of the little town of Boston, Georgia.
