Johnny Teller. Yeah. What? Oh, what's that supposed to mean, and who are you? Oh, Johnny, this is Pat McCracken, a Universal Adjustment Bureau. Well, hi, Pa. But what's with the crazy dialogue? Oh, that word, that conversation I got from some crazy character who just called in. Oh, Fred, I don't dig you. Oh, he called about five minutes ago. Said he'd been trying to reach you, but he got no answer. I was out picking up a morning paper. Who was he, Pat? He wouldn't say. He just gave his phone number. Wait a minute. There's only one man in the world talks like that. Yeah. Yeah. Was the call from San Francisco? No. No, from Los Angeles. Well, then maybe I was, uh... Well, because the man I was thinking of... Oh, wait a minute. Yes. Yes, I'm waiting, Johnny. Tell me just one thing, Pat. Well... Have any of your insurance companies been having to pay off on any big fires lately? I mean out in Los Angeles? Want to be fires? You'd better start checking with those companies out there. No, wait a minute. Do it, Pat, and I'll lay odds with a handful of arson reports. Arson? Yes. Johnny, just because some silly guy calls up and all he says is, yeah... Hey, let me have that phone number he gave you. Oh, Johnny... Come on, come on, Pat. What is it? Uh... Hollywood 8. Okay, now you go ahead and check with your West Coast insurance companies. Johnny... And get ready to pay my expense account to Los Angeles. Are you kidding?   You want to bet? Oh, Johnny... Pat, I'll call you back. The S Radio brings you Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yes, truly. Johnny Dollar. About best-selling records. Here's a familiar tune about America's best-selling filter cigarette. Winston. Real flavor. Tobacco flavor. That's because only Winston has filter blend up front. Choice, flavorful tobaccos, specially selected and specially processed for filter smoking. No wonder Winston tastes good. Like a... cigarette should... smoke Winston.  Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar. To the Universal Adjustment Bureau Home Office, Hartford, Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the burning desire matter. As I told Pat McCracken, there was only one person I knew whose conversation might consist mostly of that one word. So, expense account item 1-250 for a phone call to Hollywood 8-3142. Ah, Smokey Sullivan. Well... Smokey, this is Johnny Dollar. Yeah? Hey, you tried to call me here in Hartford. I was out. You called Universal Adjustment Bureau. I got the message. Here I am. Yeah, Johnny. Only, what are you doing in LA? Last time I saw you was in San Francisco. Got it. Hey, that's the stuff. Pays off, too, doesn't it? Yeah. Well, there's something doing out there, Smokey, that I ought to know about. Thank you. Carson, huh? Yeah. Is there insurance involved? They use a torch. Yeah, you got a point there. But do you have any lead on whoever is behind the fires? Yeah. Johnny. Okay. The first plane I can get. Where'll I find you? 322 South Equity Avenue. South Equity. Okay, Smokey, I'll be there. Yeah. I'll call the Pat McRacken, pack my bag, and... Johnny Dollar. Oh, yes. I just about to pack up and told you. Why don't you ever get off that phone of yours? I was talking to the guy who telephoned. Listen to me. The reason that nobody smelled a rat is because a different insurance company was stuck with each of those fires out there. So until I called him to give me a report, oh, and listen. I'm listening, Pat. Okay, I'll grab the first seven. Seven of them in a row, Johnny, that we know about so far. I mean, I haven't got the reports in yet from all the companies, and I'm also waiting for another report from the police. No, Johnny, I'll... That I've already got. What? Yeah. Yeah. Universal adjustment, putting the old expense account on this. Yes, of course. Then I'll give it all to you in the usual report. See you. No, Johnny, listen. Sorry, Pat. I gotta catch a plane. Expense account item two, $162.85 plane ticket from Hartford to Los Angeles. Thanks to the time differential, it was only shortly after dark when the big mainliner sat down at the LA International Airport. Item three, $750 for a cab to Smokey's address. It was hardly Beverly Hills or Bel Air, believe me. 322 South Equity was in a beat-up part of a downtown industrial section. A weather-beaten three-story house with a sign out front that said Borders by the week of month. You. Well, my name is...  Well... I'm looking for a man by the name of Smokey Sullivan. I understand he lives here. That's right. Uh, you... Uh, are you the man he said he was expecting That's right. My name is Johnny Deller. Well, he didn't tell me what the name was, but if you're sure he was expecting... I'm sure. Now, where is his room? And I don't know. Where is his room, please? Well, it's up on the second floor. It's just to the right after you get up the stairs. Okay. Thank you very much. Well, now maybe you better... It's all right. I'll find it. Thanks a lot. No, what I mean... Smokey! Hey, Smokey is Johnny Deller. Huh, what was that? Smokey! Now, what's all the re... Oh, no. Smokey, can you hear me? Who did this? Are you... Good Lord. Smokey had really had it. Whoever had beaten him up probably would have killed him if I hadn't come along and scared him away. I looked out of the broken window, but of course it was too late to see who'd done this. Meantime, the landlady appeared and I had to get me some towels in the basin of cold water. Here you are, my son. Oh, good. Thanks, thanks a lot. Somebody sure laid into him. I'll say that. You ask me to wonder if he stays alive. Maybe all right. He'd better be. Sure lucky you come along to see him is all I got to say. You better give me a couple more towels and maybe another basin of water. No, wait. What? You won't need them, Mr. I've got a much better idea. Because I can find it. Hey, Smokey. You give me a lot to find that bottle. Well, here it is. Yes, sir. It's here to fix him up. Smokey, can you hear me? Fix him up. Quicker than a wink. It's Johnny. Johnny Dollar. Here now, Mr. You just pour a slug of this down his gullet and see if it don't bring him to. Huh? Oh, yeah. Good idea. Let me have that. Oh, sure. He's really genuine California cognac. And soak up another towel for me. Would you please? Yeah, sure. Well, Mr. All right. Here now, Smokey here. See if you can get down some of this. Easy now. That's it. Look at a boy. Really? Yeah. A little more of this. Here, here.  I tried to tell you. Easy now, Smokey. Yeah, I tried to tell you. I talked to that other man. Come up here to see him what you want he was expecting. Here now, here's his fresh towel. Thanks. Did you see other man? That's right. Come in just before you did. Oh, he was? The chimp. What? What, Smokey? The chimp. Yeah. That's who it was. The chimp? Yeah. Stronger for Mickey Fortina. Who's Mickey Fortina? He's the one that... Oh, now look, look, Smokey. Maybe you'd better wait until you feel better. You and I should get a doctor. No. Now listen, Johnny. Yeah? Unless you stop him, there's going to be a lot more fires around here. Fires? That's what he said. Don't worry about it, Miss... Miss Fletcher, Bertha Fletcher. That's my... Johnny, Johnny, listen. Okay, Mrs. Fletcher. You go along. I'll take care of him. Oh, well, now I, I, I don't know. You sure I haven't better get a doctor? No, no, no. I'll take him to a hotel. When he's conditioned, I'll look after him.  Well, I don't know why. Oh, here's a 10th spot for your trouble and this bottle of brandy. Oh. Oh, well, thanks.  Go ahead, please. Is there anything you say? Johnny, you've got to listen to me. Yeah, go ahead.  The chip might have killed me. Well, he won't get to you again. I'm going to take you out of this place. Somebody must have tipped off Mickey Fortilla. Must have known I put in that call to you. So listen, Johnny. Later, Smokey. After I get you out of here. Come for the 10 bucks to Miss Fletcher. I had him five a bucket of half for a cab to the Stadler Hotel where I had to show my credentials to the room clerk to get a bed for the somewhat mangled Smokey Sullivan. I had him six $15 to the doctor who came up to the room and I must admit got him back in a pretty good shape. Then, when the doctor had left us... Yeah, Johnny. All those fires, big insurance. All of them set... Seven of them in a row. So that means by one fireball. No. This Mickey Fortina you mentioned, huh? No, Johnny. Mickey's too smart for that. What? All set by different guys. I don't know who they are, but I see no remains. And the police ain't sure, but I know there was Arson. Who's Mickey Fortina? He's a go-between. I've seen this happen before. Yeah? Frisco, Seattle, in Denver. A lot of places. He brings in a lot of boys of his own. Everyone got a different way of setting the blame. So the cops can't tie it up with any local boy whose methods they know. Yeah. Fortina's a go-between? He makes the deal with whoever wants a fire. And the police aren't on to him? What for? He never set a fire himself. Well, I know, but he's the guy that... By that time the Arson squad is in, the guy who'd done it is far away. So there's no witness can prove Fortina set up the deal. And the police have never been able to put the squeeze on whoever made the deal for a fire? And get sent up for it? For being accessory or whatever you call it? Oh, yeah, see what you mean. Yeah. Fortina sent for me when he found out I was here in L.A. I... I used to know him, Johnny. Wanted you to be a church for him, huh? Yeah, he just asked if I wanted to work for him. He knew that I knew what he meant. But if you knew that Fortina was operating here, smoky... How could I prove it? How can I prove it now? Oh, maybe I can. But if he finds out I sent for you, Johnny... It looks to me like he already has. Oh, yeah. All right, then. If somebody who wants a fire can get to Mickey Fortina, there must be some way I can. At his office. Is what? At his office every night. 10, 25, South Spring. He has an office for a racket like this? Well, you'd never know it. You'll see. Yeah, I think I'd better see. Hey, Smoky. You... How's that? You got a gun, Johnny. Right here and ready. Open up in there. This is the police. Police, huh? Wow, surprise. It is the police. Room clerk reported a man was brought in here. Johnny! Yeah, Pat. Pat Nichols. Sergeant Nichols now, Johnny. Good. Good. How are you, boy? Now, wait. Wait a minute. Is this the man you brought in here? Smoky Sullivan? I... Listen, officer, I... Johnny, you think maybe Smoky is tied in with this string of fires out here? No. No, tell him, Johnny. No, no, no. You tell him, Smoky, anything you want. Well, no, no, no. Look, you know I'm... I'm no good at talking to a cop, Johnny. Yeah, well, give it a try. And Pat, be sure you stick around to keep an eye on him. What? Smoky may need a bodyguard. You. Huh? Yeah, until after I've made a little business call. Johnny. Now, look, if you're out here because of those fires... Did I say I was? I didn't tell him anything like that. Did I, Smoky? No, Johnny. And I see what you mean. Now, let's... Just stick around, Pat. I'll see you later. If I had told Pat where I was going, you might have wanted to come along. And a man in the uniform would hardly have helped in the plan I had for trapping Mickey Fortina. But you know something? Going over to see him alone was a big mistake. One I almost didn't live to regret. We'll bring you Act 2 of yours truly, Johnny Duller, in exactly one minute. Here's Hollywood star Mona Freeman. Who feels like acting with a miserable cold?

My plan for trapping Mickey Fortina was a very simple one. I'd make like a property owner who was anxious to collect some fire insurance who was willing to pay in advance to make sure my property went up in flames. Easy, or so I thought. Item 7, 85 cents per cab to the office building at 1025 South Spring. The only lights on were in Suite B on the second floor. According to the directory in the lobby, that was the office of the Fortina Friendly Loan Company. Loan office, huh? Can I help you? Yeah, I'd like to see Mr. Fortina. You got an appointment? No, but I'd like to make a little deal with him. Can I have your name, Mr. It's, um, Morris, Theodore Morris. Just a minute, huh? Excuse me. Yeah, sure. Man says his name is Morris. Wants to see you, Mick.  No. And he said he was going to send Husky over there. Husky? Why? Well, chimp said he was afraid if he showed up at that hotel. Careful, careful what you say. Close the door. Sure. The chimp. And somebody was going over to the hotel. That could mean only for one thing, to get Smoky Sullivan. I carefully edged over closer to the door of Mickie's office, hoping I could hear more. It was too thick. And it suddenly dawned on me. If they knew I was the one who put Smoky in that hotel, they probably also knew why I'd come here. It was only one way to make sure I'd have to go through or at least try to go through with a blood fight plan. Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Morris, is it? Yeah, that's right, Mr. Fortina and Ted Morris. Oh, Mary, when he gets here, send him in. Sure bit. Come in, please. Sit down. Yeah, surely. Thanks a lot. All right, I'll get ready to the point, Mr. Fortina. Oh, by all means do, Mr. Morris. Why don't I own a big shoe store over on North Libre? Well, business has been pretty bad lately. I've been losing a lot of money, too. Too much stock on hand, big inventory and hardest. Well, if it's good merchandise, that's no reason why we can't arrange a loan for you. A loan? Of course. What else? Well, listen, I carry a lot of insurance on not only the stock, but the building, too. How much, Mr. Morris? Well, it adds up to over 185,000. I see it's very commendable. But why do you tell me about this insurance? Well, I said I'd get to the point.  And, of course, be in a position to repay whatever loan I advance to you. All right. Stop beating around the bush, 14. I want that place burned out. Did you fix it? Mr. Morris, if you want a loan, possibly even a size...  Come on. How about it? As I said, possibly we can advance it to you. Now, look, I didn't come up here to... However, as evidence of your good faith, your, shall we say, good intentions, are you prepared to make it down payment on such a loan, say, $10,000 cash in advance? What are you talking about? Set the fire, burn the place up so I can collect the insurance, and I'll give you $15,000. Now, just a minute. Who said anything about setting a fire? I did. Well? Who sent you here? If you said it was a former client, I won't believe you. Oh, look, does it make any difference? Do you any chance know a man by the name of Smokey Sullivan? Sullivan? He knows him all right, Mick. Wow. The chimp?  Sure, Mick, this is the guy I told you about. I come to see Smokey at his room and house, but I left of him. Very interesting. After I ducked out, I hung around there. I see him take Smokey in a cab. I followed him to that hotel. Sure, and listen. I don't know what name this guy gives you, but when he knocks on Smokey's door, he says it's Johnny Dollar. Dollar? Insurance stick? Yeah, that's right, Mickey. All right, so maybe I do arrange another fire with you in it, Dollar. Mickey!  All right, now, 14 of your turn. Don't move, Dollar. Reach for a gun and I pull this trigger. Yeah. How are your eyes, Mickey? Can you see in the dark? What? Without this lamp in here? Baby! Right here! I guess Smokey was right at that, Johnny. Hi, Paddy. You seem to think you wouldn't need any help around here. You all right, Johnny? When that strong arm, that husky Castellini, came up to the hotel room after him. I had to tell him, Johnny. I had to tell him what it was all about. That's okay, Smokey. It's okay. So, we threw Husky and the clink and came over here. I got an admission out of him, Pad, but unless you can get these goons or his to talk, I don't know what you're going to hold them on. After what just happened in here, Johnny will hold them and his goons just as long as we need to. And unless they want to take the whole rap for him, I think they'll talk. Yeah, they talked all right. And as a result, the police and a couple of nearby states should have no trouble at all and the other of Fortina's boys is hired torches. Ah, funny, isn't it?  Expensive account total including hotel bill, plane ticket back to Hartford, and the size of a bit of folding money for Smokey Sullivan, $8.74.20. Yours truly, $20. Now, here's a word from our star about the Casey Handel's on next week's program. Thank you, Daniel. It's called the hapless ham matter. And yeah, you guessed it. The ham turns out to be an actor, and with one of the cleverest methods of committing murder, I've ever known. There's a lot of action suspense in the story, and I think you'll like it. Who knows? Maybe if you listen closely, you'll be able to figure out his method even before I do. So join us, won't you? Yours truly, $20. He originates in Hollywood and is written, produced, and directed by Jack Johnstone. Heard in our cast were Virginia Gregg, Gene Tatum, Lawrence Dobkin, Dick Perrin, Paul Duboff, Don Diamond, and Frank Girsten.  Is Dan Cumberley speaking? Intrigue breeds terror as suspense brings a shady moonlight sale next on the CBS Radio Network. If I should ever become totally disabled, it would be a mighty comfortable feeling to have a check coming in every month regularly. Yes, it's a good feeling to know you have a financial cushion against trouble like that. Well, if you're a veteran with World War II or Korean GI insurance, you can protect yourself. You do it by adding a disability income writer to your present policy. The cost of the extra premium is just a few cents a day. For example, a 40-year-old veteran with a $10,000 term policy would pay only $1.60 a month for the added protection. If you sign up for the disability income provision, it works this way. If you have been totally disabled for six consecutive months, VA will pay you every month as long as this condition persists. If you sign up for the GI insurance policy, that adds up to 100 a month if you hold a $10,000 policy. Full details about total disability income at any VA office.

I would say find a problem that you care about and find a mentor, I would say sign up for Technovation because that really has all the elements and the support systems that you need. Our app focuses on kids with autism and we got to meet these, meet individuals as part of our special education community and that's kind of when we saw our impact and it kind of clicked for us that this is actually making a difference and that's, that's when I'm like, it was an unbelievable experience. In the future we want to make it available in many devices and you want to spread it to all people to help them. Noation gave us wings. As I mentioned earlier to fly in a world of endless opportunities and I would say that if you have that will to do something good for the society, technology is the best option you can go for and you can implement to solve community issues. Immediately because I wish to be an entrepreneur in the future and make a business and it inspired me by showing me how it's very possible to make your own business and create your own and fight for what you want, for what you believe in and it's not that hard if you want that you can do it.


This is Ken Roberts inviting you to listen to another adventure of Casey Climb Photographers. Ace Cameraman who covers the climb news of a great city. Our adventure for tonight is a gun.   Then the street door opens and... Hello Paxton. Good evening, Mr. Mercer. You're, uh, all alone, I think. Yeah. What's that young bull terrier of yours need tonight? Well, I, uh, I just dropped in to say hello. Ah, that's good of you. You look as though you had something on your mind, Mr. Mercer. I, Paxton, I want a gun. A gun? I've been told you can get me one. I sell pet supplies, not guns. Whoever told you that... I got a phone call today from a man who said you, you knew the right people. He wouldn't give me his name, but he was obviously somebody who knows the spot I'm in. As you must know it, you hear all the neighborhood guys. I know Jeff Robbins gets out of city jail tomorrow after serving 60 days for throwing a punch at his wife because of you. I had nothing to do with her.  But you figure Robbins will come out of jail pretty sore at both of you. He's threatened both of us. And I need a gun to protect myself. How about her? Well, she'll be with friends. She doesn't know about it. But I can't disappear like that. I've got to be at my job. I don't want to go to the police for protection. I see. Will you get me a gun? Well, if I don't, you'll try to get it from somebody else. Yes. Well, Mr. Mercer, then I may as well get you a business. And I'll have to be too hard on your pocketbook. A good handgun fully loaded will cost you only 75 bucks. 75? Under the count of prices you usually run from 200 up. Yes, you don't know much about guns. No, I don't. I've got 75 on me. Give me the gun. Hey, I don't keep those things in stock. You'll get your rod tomorrow. That's Wednesday. You'll come to the back door of my shop for it. That's six tomorrow night. But Robbins will be released home before that. Well, he'll have a few things to do besides looking for you. He's half owner of the business for one thing, and will want to know how his partner's been running it. Besides, you know, Mr. Mercer, 60 days in jail can take the fight out of a fella. All right. I'll be at your back door for that garnet. Six tomorrow night. You and Miss Williams working the night shift this week, huh, Casey? Yes, at about 4 p.m. to midnight. With garnet. Maybe miss out on passes for Wednesday matinee today. Ah, working sure into fears with a person's relaxation. Well, there's one regular pleasure that I count on, boy, and I get it regardless, and it's putting on the old B bag. Annie has had past six a good time. Come on, let's find ourselves a table. I'm all for that, Casey. I can recommend our pigs, knuckles, and sauerkraut today, if you like it. We don't, we don't. Then I suggest, and we're both like this, I know. Tell the waiter, please, to tell the chef. Oh, excuse me. You're up a tall ring and tell us what. Oh, you can't do that. Bruno, cafe, tell the chef. Uh, Edward speaking. Yeah, they're here. The city desk. Oh, isn't that nice. Hello, Burke. Hey, look, this is supposed to be our dinner out. Okay, where do we go? He puts on the old B bag, regardless. Well, get up there right away, Burke. All right, so long. No, what is this inside? Murder. Some guy named Jeff Robbins has been shot to death. Well, the lady dinner problem is sore for him. Well, come on, Annie, come on, let's go. We're in this dark alley. We're in about 615, Miss Williams. The guy had been shot shortly before that. Shot? Point blank range, too, Logan. His overcoat's in. Well, I'll put it here, Casey. Twice to make sure. And we have the slugs. Uh, the dead man's man captain was Jeff Robbins? Yeah. He was stuffing his pockets to death in front of him immediately. He's a partner in a small chemical firm and just got out of jail. Just out of jail? By getting drunk and slugging his wife. He's just crazy jealous of her. Where's the reason, maybe? I don't know. She's quite a dish. Now, off the record for the time being, Miss Robbins was especially a green eye that were a guy named Mercer. Well, that sounds like something. Of course, your men are looking for Mercer. Well, I don't know where everyone who had any connection with Robbins. Oh, Captain. Yes, Sergeant? Isn't it's Bantry, Captain? Bantry? The dead man's business. Oh, yes. You are, Mr. I am, uh, Carl Bantry, Captain. Is, uh... Is that, uh, under the sheet? Yes. I'd like you to look at the body of Bantry. Yes, sir. We need your support and identification. Very well. I've known this man ever since. We went to college together and the war and since then, we've been business partners. I understand. And, Mr. Bantry, I've been told that many people, including his wife, found Robbins a difficult man to get along with. Well, just, Robbins did drink too much and he was subject to fictive wild temperament of unreasoning jealousy, but I liked him. He was a loyal friend and a brilliant chemist. You and he were in the chemical business, Mr. Bantry? Yes, Mr... Casey's my name. Morning Express. I'd like some pictures of you if you don't mind. Oh, very well. Thank you. Well, just go on talking to Captain Logan. I'll get some un-posed shots of you. Oh, there's one more question I'd like to ask you. First, Casey, you're waiting until I ask my question. Oh, all right. And now, Mr. Bantry, tell me what you know about Robbins recent imprisonment for a thousand batteries and his attitude toward a man named Hugh Mercer. You've learned about Mercer? Yeah. You thought there was very bitter toward Mercer, wasn't it? He made threats of what he'd do to him after he got out of jail. Yes. You think that Mercer may have killed him in order to avoid fulfillment of those threats? I'm asking what you think. I know very little about Mercer. Oh, what do you think? What do you know? He's a rather good-looking young fellow who's probably attractive to a certain type of woman. This is Robbins, sir. The boys are bringing in Mercer now, Captain. Yeah? Hey, this I want. You fellas have got to believe me. You've got to believe me. This is Mercer, Captain. They picked him up as he tried to hop a bus six blocks from here. Oh, he did, eh? And they found this, Captain, a 38 revolver in his pocket, fully loaded, except for two slugs that have been recently fired. I've never fired that gun. I didn't know it had been fired. I bought that gun from Plaston tonight to Pet Shop, man. He's worried. Found it. I'm telling you the truth now. You've got to believe me. Tell me the truth, Mercer. Tell me all about this gun and Pexton's Pet Shop.  Yes, Captain. His statements about last night as you just led them to me are substantially true. But his continued statement in which he claims that he received the gun from me tonight is altogether untrue. You deny that Mercer came to the back door of your shop at six tonight and paid you $75 in exchange for a loaded 38 revolver. Of course. Now, look, Captain, I've been in business at the same address for nearly eight years. The cops know me well. I definitely do not keep guns at my place or sell guns. Somebody told Mercer to get dead. Well, we have only his word for that, Mr. Kidd. But why should he have propositioned you that part of his story isn't true? Well, frankly, I think it is true. I figure somebody told him he could buy a gun for me as a joke. I suppose you want us to believe that you strung along the joke with no idea of providing him with a gun. Well, I strung him along because by letting him think I'd get him an illegal gun and keep, I figured he wouldn't shop elsewhere. And then, if he'd come to my place tonight, I intended to talk him out of the gun idea. If that failed, well, I meant to notify the cops. Why didn't you notify the cops first? He'd have denied anything I said and I'd prefer to keep out of other people's business. Well, because you're delayed, Robbins was killed tonight by Mercer. You're sure Mercer did the job? Well, the murder bullets were fired from the gun that was found, Ellen. Oh, I see. Hatchden, you knew Robbins, didn't you? Well, he came into my place occasionally to buy birdseed for a pair of finches I sold his wife several years ago. You know, Mrs. Robbins better. She's been in my shop more often. We understand she's a fine-looking gal. I understand. You haven't seen her yet? Yeah, she was a little hard to locate, but she's being brought here to headquarters now. Oh, I see. I don't know where we are for now, Hatchden. Go home. Don't discuss our conversations with anyone. And be back here at headquarters at 10 tomorrow morning. I'll be here, Captain. Good night. Good night. Well, I think that guy's in the clear, so please just let him walk away.  And he tells a straight believable story. I mean, he was ready with a lot of good answers. Well, you don't think he's on the level, Casey? Well, you know, if Mercer was a perfect sitting duck for a frame-up, he was scared of Robbins' threats and a lot of people knew it. Hatchden might have slipped in that gun as Mercer claims after it had been used to bump off Robbins. Well, that'd mean Hatchden bumped off Robbins. Where's his motive? Oh, don't forget, there's a good-looking dame in his picture. You mean Hatchden might be gone and Mrs. Robbins so gone he'd knock off her husband and pay my boyfriend? Well, that sort of thing has happened. No, he will never sell that overstuffed birdseller to me as a guy who kills her love. No, to me either. Well, I'm afraid I agree with you, as a matter of fact. Hatchden might take a big chance for big dull, but not for a dame. Mercer did the killing, Casey. Yeah. I guess so. Come in. Mrs. Robbins is here, Captain. This I want to see. And you will follow her to the party, Sergeant? Yes, sir. Yes, as I phoned you. She left the friends nice and told us she was staying with her this afternoon and went to another place. Later, her husband might find her. She was at this party when Robbins was killed, so she's in the clear. Yeah, I figured that since we got Mercer and his gun. Sergeant, you consider her the heartbreaker we've heard described? Oh, yeah. And she used a beautiful perfume. Of course, you will. Hey, you'll notice it yourself, Captain. Uh, bring her in. Uh, yes. You will. Oh, perfume. Some of these cups are yours, honey. The captain's ready for you, Mrs. Robbins. Thank you. Captain. I am Captain Logan, Mrs. Robbins. How do you do? She is good looking. So are gold-plated dumbbells. It doesn't make me think of dumbbells. Please, sit down, Mrs. Robbins. Thank you, Captain. No, you'll find this chair the best, I think. Thank you, Mr. My name's Casey. Hmm. No, just relax, Mrs. Robbins. We realize you think you've had some very shocking news. And I said, add to your trouble just a few routine questions. And then you can go home. You're so kind. Uh, may I have a drink of water? No, I'll get it. I'll get it. No, I've got it. Casey. Well, Logan. Hmm. It's such a juvenile exhibition as you and Captain Logan put on, Casey. Like a pair of freshman wolves. We've been doing anything of the kind, and I'm tired of hearing you nag too, and I just piped down so I can watch the film. I'm sorry, just. It's okay. I have been catech. But would you mind giving me a good explanation of why you and Logan treated her so tenderly? She was scared, Logan, and I'm trying to relax her, that's all. Well, even you must admit she loosened up and talked freely before we let it go. You didn't tell you anything about her husband's murder. Well, I think she told us all she knew. I don't. For my money, she put gun. For just that purpose I'm driving to Paxton's apartment next to his pet shop as soon as I dropped you off at your place. You're driving to Paxton? My surprise visit might catch him off guard. I'll go to Paxton's with you. Then nag me all the way oh no you won't. I'll promise not to say another word about your treatment Mrs. Robbins. I'll even agree that she's beautiful, brainy and use a fine person. Yeah, I can't ask all that. Just keep an open mind, kid, about her and Mercer and Paxton. Paxton can't be in there. Oh try this door. It's locked. Come on in, Anne. Well we can't walk in. Yes we can't. I came here to see Paxton so I'm going to... Casey look there! What? She's lying beside that chair. This is all twisted and... Wait a minute. That guy's dead, Annie. How come I don't burn? He's got rotten business. He's been poisoned. He's been corrosive. Acid poison. I can smell it. Hmm. So can I now. And I... I smell something else. Oh I... Perfume. This is Robbins perfume, Casey. Well Casey, with a scent of a very distinctive perfume floating in the air of this room am I still supposed to keep an open mind about the fascinating Mrs. Robbins? Well why should she have killed Paxton? Like Mercer, Paxton was in love with that woman. She used both him and Mercer to rid herself of a jealous, brutal husband. Both Mercer and Paxton? Yes. Mrs. Robbins persuaded Mercer that he needed a gun to protect himself from her husband.  Paxton was made of stronger stuff. Last night at her urging, Paxton got Mercer to come to him for a gun by means of that mysterious phone call. And tonight Paxton shot Robbins a short time before Mercer was to call for the gun and then gave him the murder weapon for the cops to find on him. Well then you figure Mrs. Robbins wanted Paxton, her accomplice, out of the way. Yes. She came here as soon as she was released by Captain Logan, suggested that Paxton set out high balls and there were two empty glasses on this table, Casey, and spiked his drink with poison. It's a good theory, Annie, but... Casey! Huh? Something in his red man's hand. Something that looks like this. Let me see it. Yes, it's a piece. An entire corner torn from a $100 bill. Cops didn't sting, Annie. That perfume isn't simply floating in the air. This piece of a $100 bill is soaked with it. Now it's... Yes. Because you had it in your purse. She paid Paxton money for the murder of her husband, Casey, and then killed him to get the money back. And as he was dying, she tore it from his hand. The way it looks, kid. Well... You won't bring in the cops on this yet. We're calling on Mrs. Robbins first, and right now. Mr. Casey, why have you and Mrs. Williams come here having disturbed your sleep, Mrs. Robbins? You're after what has happened today. Wouldn't you please tell me...  Be home.  Yes. You didn't go to Paxton's pet shop. I know, why should I? Well, the point is, did you? I certainly not. Paxton has been... Now, wait a minute. That handbag on your table meant to be carried when we met at headquarters, isn't it? Yes. Perfume? It was dropped after I came home, and a perfume flask inside was broken. What are you doing with my bag? I want to see what's in it. Give it to me. You are? Not only break a flask of perfume in your bag, but you leave a watt of $100 bills in it, with a torn off corner. It's perfect. That's what you two are talking about. And I don't know where all that money came from. It came to my bag. Did I come home alone? If you...  Let's tell her you contrived your husband. And the police won't think about it. Now, wait a minute. Wait. Yes? Mr. Casey, you must believe me. You didn't come home alone, Mrs. Robbins? Somebody paid your cab fare? Yes, Mr. Bantley. Bantley? My husband's partner. He was waiting outside a police headquarters. Who, when you dropped your bag and broke that perfume flask? It was Mr. Bantley who dropped the bag. I've accidentally stepped on it. Oh, yeah? Who inherits your husband's share of the limited Bantley chemical firm? I do.  No. They talked about partnership insurance, but couldn't afford the previous. They planned to take it out after the formula was perfected and sold. Their formula? It was something they've been very excited about. It's a chemical process that will improve the quality of cheap men plastic. But they said it would make us rich. Has Bantley discussed this formula with you? No.  Mrs. Robbins, I want you to phone Bantley. And ask him to come here right away. Come here at this hour? Yeah, I've got an idea. He's still awake waiting for news about you rather than from you. Now, if you were to tell him that you've learned something about that formula, that it's been sold, for instance. Mr. Casey. No, never mind. Wait a minute. I've built out a complete plan of action for you by the time he can get here. And then, I want you to offer him a drink. But why? We'll be here out of sight. And I'm playing a hunch. Come in, Mr. Bantley. Mr. Bantley? Oh, hey, have I stopped being called? That remains to be seen. Let me close the door. I've been talking to you about that formula. Carl, we've been friends a long time. Let's stay that way. I made friends now. Of course, of course, Ella, my dear. Now, don't you worry. Why don't we have a drink? Would you like one? Well, yes. Yes, I would if you would join me. I will. I have everything right here. You heard nothing more from the police since you left headquarters? No, I should have. I simply wondered. Bye for you. Thanks for me. Yes, thanks. Now, what about that formula? Who's been talking to you? No, I was free. I just wanted to make sure that I received a full half share of the money that formula brings again. Oh, is that all? Well, don't you worry. You get just three shares of the profits from that formula. Let's drink to it. All right. But put a little more rye in my glass first, huh? Certainly. They win. Uh, that's fine. Here you are. Well, give them now. We'll clean glasses and bottoms up. She doesn't drink that. What? Take that glass from Mrs. Robbins, Anne. And don't spill that bottle. I've thrown it. It's the evidence we need. Then let me go. I don't want to. Oh, Japan, please. I'll use this to keep you here. It's the case that he poured something into your glass while you were fixing his drink. Well, Casey, the same poison used on pasties. Poison? Yes. I don't understand. I don't get it all yet. Anne, get the cops here. They'll make this character talk. We'll all be interested in what you'll have to say. What advantage confessed to the cops, Casey? Well, we have to both die now. And you can read it in the morning express, Ethelberg. I don't want to wait to read it. Well, OK, impatience, then. I'll tell you. That formula, a process to toughen cheap plastic, was perfected during Robbins' stretch in jail. And it can be sold for at least 100 grand. Bantry wanted all of it. With the promise of a few thousand, he persuaded Paxton to frame Mercer with that gun after Bantry killed his partner with it. Bantry shot Robbins? Yeah, and passed the gun to Paxton. And then he poisoned Paxton and hung a pretty little frame around her. And he was gotten away with it. It's our Mr. Casey. No, it's nothing, Anne. It's all right. It merely had an inspiration. If our Mr. Casey wasn't so pigheaded as to think a good-looking gal can do no wrong. My great gift for character reading gets no respect from certain people, ever. I'd like to meet Mrs. Robbins, Casey.  Yeah. Blonde. Wow. Yo, I mean, they're Blue Note Café Ethelberg speaking.


Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. Good morning. My name is Thorsten Frommen. I'm a WordPress engineer at ImSight working with WordPress since 2006 or so. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So I try to speak a bit louder, but maybe come nearer. Maybe just turn it. I don't know which mic was for you. Is it better? Test, test for you in the back. Is it okay? Just come. Yeah. Okay. The topic today is IT certifications. Who here is a certified IT professional in some way? Okay. Nobody. Then let's make sure what... Okay. What? Let's make sure what is a certification. We're talking about professional certifications. This is what Wikipedia tells you about professional certifications. There are three important things here. A certification or what you get from a certification is a non-degree award. So you don't have to go to a university. Sometimes you can go there, but not the university actually is the authority certifying you. It's either some other authority at the university or they do this in the name of some other authority. The second thing is you have to show something that you achieved some knowledge even practical-wise sometimes. And yeah, the certificate itself, it's just a paper or sometimes just a PDF file. Yeah, it's issued by some authority. Authority, yeah. That can be some company. That can be some companies in a conglomerate. That can be some working group or whatever. If you decide you want to certify people, yeah, then you can do so. In the IT industry, there are mostly two certification types or two categories of certifications. The first is education-based certifications, which means there is some course. You have to go there. You have to actually attend the course, which may be online or actually in the real world somewhere you go there and take the course. And you have to pass the course, which may include passing several individual stages.  And yeah, all that is what all that together leads to actually getting the certification if you pass. The second category is only exam-based certifications, which means you get the knowledge or you have the knowledge already. It doesn't matter how, where, when. You just register for an exam, go there. It can be online. It can be actually somewhere at the university or so at some company. And you have to pass the exam, which usually means you have to score a specific amount of points in a given time. The nature of exams, yeah, the exams come in different flavors, different types, different things that you have to do to get the exam. They differ in what you have to work with during the exam or during the course. Maybe you just have texts. Maybe you have example codes, depending on what type of IT fields you're certifying in. Maybe you have image material. The questions in the exam might be multiple choice, might be multiple selects. If multiple selects, then mostly you have maybe four answers. And the question includes there are two rights to choose. So you have some indication what to do here. Maybe it's free text. So you have a question and a free text input field and you have to type in the answer. Sometimes you have 20, 40, 200, 400 questions and you know every question gives me one point and that leads to 200, 400, whatever points and you have to score so many points. Or there are questions that are different in their level and yeah, thus have different points to score. So yeah, if time is running out and you're specialized in one topic, maybe just do these questions then if you see them to get the points you need. When doing some computer based exams, then the Pearson View Test Centers are actually the place to go. There are other testing centers but Pearson View is what I think in our field here is the most famous. Pearson View is a company which only does certification examination computer based. Worldwide, there are more than four and a half thousand test centers which means there are seven here in Nuremberg. And Pearson View delivers exams for other authorities. They don't issue actually the exam. They do the examination with the questions and the scoring report and whatever has to be included, what the authority gives them. They're doing, yeah, exams for pretty well-known companies. Computer based testing at Pearson View. Let's switch to a demo. Okay, I have to stay in the area here. If you were to take an exam at Pearson View at a testing center, this is what the screen looks like. So you have navigation down here, go forward and backward. You have the questions and some text material up there and adjusts run through quickly here what this demo shows you. So the main thing is you have instructional boxes which gives you some hints about maybe there are some module or modular parts of your exam and if you reach the next stage of your exam, you get additional information. You definitely see one of these boxes before starting the exam, giving you some information about how that works. Yeah, you can navigate. We did that already. There are, depending on the computers used and the screens, sometimes scroll bars, if you miss some information on the page, you're being informed about that. So we go here, there are tabs now and if you just read that, answer and go on, you're informed about, hey, maybe you missed something, would you like to see that? So, okay, there's the tab. There's the tab. Now we're good to go. Now let's see about the different question types. No matter what exam you're doing at a Pearson View Center, these are the types of questions you're confronted with. So the first one is a multiple choice. You have multiple answers and you only have to choose one of them. Multiple select. Okay. There are multiple answers and the question tells me, okay, choose two of them. Now we have something where we have to type in something. Yeah. Then I did not see that before in some IT based examination. Pearson View is not doing only IT examinations. They're doing for any industry computer based certification examinations. So just choose something here. I did not see that either. So maybe that's for some measurements that you did before or some calculations and this could be done with a select input either. I cannot read everything from here, but yeah, it's not scored anyway. That's also nothing I have seen before in IT examinations. Yeah. And some interactive right here. Yeah. Then maybe you have text information, you have a question, you have some additional background information and there is some exhibit which might be an image, a table, a graph, some piece of code. Yeah. You can have a look at that and then go on. The things you see in the demo application itself. On the top right, you see the time left or the time you have because there's a time limit. Usually it's depending on the examination. It's 30 minutes up to 200 minutes. If you're a native German speaker doing some examination which is not available in German, maybe depending on the authority, you get extra time. So you see the time. You see how many questions left or how many, actually you see at which question from the total number of questions you are at now. It's not telling you if you answered all questions before. Yeah. You can choose your font and color here. And yeah, you can flag questions. So either you did not yet answer them or you answered them but you were unsure about that so you can flag them and if you're done with all the questions, you see the review screen and you see all the questions and you see which one is flagged and you can go back and check what you answered before or if you did not answer, do it then. And yeah, I guess that's about what's interesting here. Okay. So we now know what certification is and how and where you can do them but why certify? Since there's only one person in the room, why did you certify and in which field or what certification did you do? Okay. So you did it because it was required to get the job or to stay in the job. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. There are, of course, several individual reasons for certification. One is to gain knowledge about something new. Of course, you don't have to certify just to get new knowledge. For some people having some pressure makes them learn faster, makes them actually learn better, understand better and actually inhale the knowledge and just not do it because you have to do it. You have to do it if your employer says, okay, if you want to work in that field, I expect that certification but then it should be something that you're interested in because if not, then this is maybe not the best job for you anyway. Of course, you can specialize in some fields. So if you're doing JavaScript, yeah, then there are definitely things that you did not do in JavaScript because there's so many things in JavaScript, just an example as JavaScript is one of the hyped languages throughout the last 10, 15 years. Another thing is that doing some examination and being certified, it's just a piece of paper but it's from some authority and you choose or your employer if they tell you to do some examination, they choose which examination certifications, which authorities they choose and yeah, you actually validate. You show at least while doing the examination, you have some amount of knowledge and of course, the right certifications from time to time brush up your CV but there are of course benefits for the employee and the employer side. So actually certifying makes you prove to whoever that you have learned something and at least you were able to practically show what you learned because the exams are up to the authority and they are sometimes very practical, sometimes brought background information or just knowledge that you have to show but definitely you have to apply what you learned. It's just not always, okay, that was in that chapter, just write it down. I didn't understand it but this is right, it doesn't work. There may be exams where you actually can read a book, totally not understand it but you read that, you remember that, you answered but most of the good exams, you won't get through it without actually understanding what you learned. Another benefit is if you're certified and maybe you're one of the few people certified by a huge team, maybe you get a promotion or a raise. Depending on where you certify, there may be some closed information groups where you can exchange and maybe you get a job or you refer to some client of them. From the employer side, taking or choosing the right certification exams, the right authorities makes you adhere to best practices which hopefully makes you do better products. You improve your teams and then your companies in general performance and the productivity because you learn something then you apply during examination and then it's easier to apply during actual days work. Yeah, of course your image is being brushed up because it's just the same when you buy some program. There's a program that costs 20 Euro and there's a program that costs 25 Euro but it tells you it's tested. Which one do you buy? Hopefully you buy the tested one because you think it's tested, you trust them and if it's done right, it's actually is tested. It's claiming something that's true but that's other things other people also have is just more attractive. The Full HD TV, every TV with a resolution for Full HD is Full HD ready but Full HD ready was the TVs to go for. That's the same thing. And of course you make your company more attractive compared to other competitors. Pearson Vue did last year some survey. They asked, I think it was, I'm not sure, I think it was 200,000 or 400,000 people that did some exam with them in the IT section during the last year. So from August 2014 to August 2015 they were asked to attend the survey. 26,600 and three individuals responded and completed the survey. 86% of them were male. I included 11% of female because 2% didn't answer that. So it's very imbalanced. 10% of them were aged 18 to 24. 41, 25 to 34%. 42% are 35 to age 54 and the missing percent are 55 and older. 59% of them work in the IT industry which means there are 40% which did some IT certification but they're not working in an IT industry. So they're working as an IT consultant or an expert or so in a company in some different industry. The general findings of the survey was that every person asked the last exam they did in the last 12 months, 53% of that was paid for by their employer. 89% of the people used self-study materials. There's no comparison which only used self-study materials but 90% used self-study materials in some way. 85% would actually recommend certification if they were asked by a colleague. And 90% of the people that did the people who did certifications during the last 12 months actually would certify again in the next 12 months. So what are the motivations? One motivation is to improve your professional profile, brush up your CV. 60% answered that. I don't know how many, I think it was six answers and it was multiple selects. So it's not, there are 40% missing for the other answers. You could have chosen every answer. 60% said, yeah, it's to brush up my CV. Increased knowledge in a specific area, 54%, certify to get knowledge. Get a raise or promotion, only 30%. Maybe they get a raise afterwards but that's not their motivation. Only 29% did the examination because it was required by their employer. And there are even people to certify to find a job which might be they are working in some not IT industry company and they want to switch over or they're unemployed right now and they expect if I certify at a good authority some importance, actually knowledge increasing and real authority, I do find a job afterwards. 28%. The benefits from doing or completing and passing a certification. The image is from Pearson Vue, I think it speaks for itself. 65% did that for their reputation. 12%. Okay, this is actually what they got. This is not what the benefit they expected. This is the motivation from before. This is the people that benefited from doing the examination. This is what they answered. It was also multiple choice, multiple select. This graph shows when they benefited after their last exam. So 25, 15, 40, almost 60% actually benefited within 3 months after doing their examination, which is huge. A fourth of them, 25% immediately. And the people who got a raise, every fourth of them got a raise to up to 20%. That's not so descriptive. Okay, so let's come to some recommended certifications, recommended on my personal experience and I definitely don't know everything and what I found on the web during the last month and 2 years, what you can do there. It's recommendation in the broader context of WordPress, but there is no WordPress, specific certification for WordPress. So what comes to mind is certifying in the languages, the techniques, the disciplines, the fields, related or included when working in the WordPress universe. WordPress is PHP, even though we have Calypso now, WordPress is PHP. So the Zen certified PHP engineer is the PHP examination in the IT industry. There are more than 13,000 Zen certified engineers. That does include framework engineers, but 10% of all Zen certified engineers are PHP engineers from Germany. That's quite a number. Then offers several test preparation ways to prepare. The exam itself is just go there, register, do the exam, pass, and you're good to go. You can take a course, a one-day course, you can take a three-day course. You can buy a book, you can buy a study guide. No matter how, when, where, get the knowledge you have for the exam, go there and you're okay. The current exam is still based on PHP 5.5. Of course, they are working on PHP 7, and the current goal is to have the PHP 7 exam ready at fall because there's some Zen conference from the company. So that's the goal. Is here anyone interested in the Zen PHP certification program? Two people? Okay. Three people. After my talk, come down to me because I have one voucher for exam to give away, so we can do a lottery. The next exam, actually, there are two exams, is from CIW. They have individual exams put into series. So the web development series includes three exams. One is JavaScript, one is database design, and the third is Perl. You can do every exam from the three just separately. If you pass all three, you also awarded the CIW web development professional certificate. It's just doing three examinations, gets you four certifications, or if you're just interested in the JavaScript or database design part, yeah, do that. CIW does internet web IT examinations. There are already almost 90,000 certified people. They also offer individual preparation ways. So you have some self-study material and you can go there and attend a course. The JavaScript specialist is a basic examination, basic JavaScript fundamentals. Database design is vendor neutral. It's not my SQL. No SQL file-based, and so it's also a basic examination. And if you want, you can do the Perl specialist. And yeah, as I said, if you pass all three of them, you're the web development professional. If you really work with MySQL, then the Oracle certified professional MySQL developer, there are, I think there's a MySQL administrator, developer, and user or so. This is what you want to have or want to do when you're actually developing. This number is, I think, every Oracle examination, and there are not only database MySQL and so, but that's quite a number. There are training courses from the Oracle University. It's not an actual university, but yeah, it sounds good. Linux server administration. There is the LPIC1 certification, which consists of two exams that you have to pass. And then there are, I think, two more stages. There's the LPIC2 and the LPIC3 certification. Every single one of them consists of two exams you have to do. If you're writing code or someone at your company writes code and you want to test, you have to test, you should test. The ISTQB certified tester is a huge roadmap when you want to test. The certified tester foundation level exam is the base for every other exam, and they then spread, they split up in agile, just the basic part that, yeah. The core thing definitely is what you have to know, but to do the specialists or the agile things, you don't have to show individual that you understand what testing in general means, because if you don't understand what testing in general means, then you don't understand what testing at a special area, a special field, a special way of development also means. Depending on where you work, what type of company, what team choose what you want to do here. An interesting thing is that the foundation level exam is not only for developers. It's actually for anyone involved in the development process, which means project managers, managers from other areas of your company, depending on how huge it is. And then of course WordPress projects need project management. The PMP is I think the most well-known project management certification. Actually, you have to have some prerequisites, you have to meet them to take the exam. So you have to show that you're educated as a professional project manager, which is something like you have to 35 hours of some acknowledged education somewhere, and you have to show that you're, I don't know the number, I think it was something about 4000 up to 6000 hours of actually experience in your professional career. Only then you're allowed to take the exam. The exam itself is 200 multiple choice questions to be done in four hours. There's a formal study course and there's self-study material. And so what did we learn? If you want to or you have to do an exam, it should be something that you're interested in, or you should be interested in. IT certifications or certifications in general, they do matter, depending on who you are, where you work, what you expect from doing the certification. Definitely, doing certification is not the thing to do for every person at every stage in your career, but there are several reasons why certifying when and where the right ones matter. The problem is to find the right ones. If you're asked or if you're inquired to do an examination, hopefully you can trust them, so you have to do that and you do it. If it's not a good examination, when your employer wants you to do that, you're okay with that. If you choose for yourself, make sure you read about the authority, how acknowledged the certification is, or maybe how many other people working at a position or in the field you are or you want to be in some day, what certifications do they have? Here are some references. The first one is the PDF file of the survey, which I showed you some things of. The slides are online since eight minutes, so thank you. Do you have any questions? That's right. The question was, I chose PMP as a project management base course, and the question was why I didn't choose some more specific thing, because the base is, I think, doing only the scrum, when you're good at your job, then you have the knowledge that you should show in the PMP, and I think the PMP is more important, or at least the things included in the PMP are more important. Depending on what certification you do, the authority often gives out the contents, sometimes just a list of headlines. In the ISTQB case, you get the whole material, the whole content, the whole questions and information for the foundation level. Maybe you don't want to do the examination, but you go there and get the material and learn that. Scrum or prints or other things. First of all, I'm not a project manager. I don't have that much knowledge in the area, and scrum depends on where you're working. If you're working in a team that doesn't do agile development, that doesn't do scrum, then this isn't the right thing for you. Of course, there are additional examinations relevant at something in the workplace context, of course, but this is what I thought is for the most people, because I'm a developer. What do you think about workplace certification? The second-last link is a good article which links to four or five other articles from the last three years. The problem is there must be really the authority which must be the WordPress foundation, and they don't want to do certification, actually. WordPress VIP does certifications for developers, but that's more training and giving a certification of that you attended and passed the training. I think it would be cool to have WordPress certifications because there are so many people who ruin the name of WordPress developers, because there is no examination, there is no certification, there is no proof that you actually know what you do in the WordPress context. There's nothing that potential clients can rely on, but I think it's hard to get to the point, to do examinations, and to constantly update, because there's a lot happening at WordPress core and in the WordPress community and in the WordPress context, which should be reflected not three years after. Okay, thank you. One question? No. I don't know exactly what things changed from PHP 5.5 to 5.6, which actually matter when developing. There definitely were optimizations in the background, and so I don't know what actually changed from 5.5 to 5.6. They did not do examinations for every major release of PHP. I think the previous one was 5.2, and then it was 5.0 at PHP 5. They decided when the language changed so much that they actually think they should update the examination.  Before that, you actually were certified as a PHP 5.2, if it was that, and a PHP 5 engineer. They already changed that. I don't know what will be the title for the PHP 7 certification, because PHP 7 is young and it's hyped, and maybe they will include the number. I don't know. I don't know the exact reason why not 5.6. Sorry? No, there is PHP, just PHP, and there is a Zend Framework 1 and a Zend Framework 2 certification. I think you don't have to do the PHP before the frameworks. I think there are just individual examinations that you can take if you want to. Okay, thank you.
