Namaste, welcome to the 20th session of our course Yog and Positive Psychology for Managing Career and Life. Today, we are going to discuss yogic interventions for making mind a friend. Some of you might be wondering why this is topic mind as a friend because this is my mind and it is supposed to work for me and if it is supposed to work for me naturally it is bound to be my friend. But that is not the case, we will we looked at what are the causes of the emotional issues problems and challenges and if you recall these are about fearfulness, anxiety, dependence and sentimentality. You may also recall that we examine these ailments, we examine these sources of emotional distress and what we found was that fearfulness is nothing but excessive concern, anxiety is nothing but excessive alertness and excessive attachment with the outcome of my efforts. Dependence is excessive trust and aversion and attachment more sentimentality. So, all these major sources of distress are actually started with the mental or emotional faculty which are useful all these have some evolutionary significance. But when these faculties are overused they turn into the source of emotional distress. So, a friendly mind is the productive and functional mind, but the same mind can be dysfunctional and the reason for dysfunctionality is that my mind probably has started working against me, it has become an obstacle in delivering my role, it has become obstacle in me experiencing well-being, it has become an obstacle in delivering my duties and my disposition, title of the session is mind as a friend and how yogic interventions can help us making my mind as a friend. In order to understand mind we may look at the basic biological feature of our mind or our brain, we discussed in the earlier session that mind is not limited to brain. So, we are not going to repeat that, but brain is a very significant expression of mind or you can say seat of mind, brain has three major parts reptilian complex, limbic system and neocortex. Reptilian complex is mostly related to the survival and reproduction, limbic system emerged first time in the primitive mammalians and that is the center for emotions, empathy, parental care, parental role and that is the significant feature of the human brain. All three parts of the brain have different roles to play. Reptilian brain is related more to instincts, dominance, survival and this is that part of the brain which gives a sense of territory, what is my territory, what is your territory, what is my boundary, where my ownership exists, where from where your ownership starts. So, that is the reptilian brain's job. reptilian brain's job is nurturing and experiencing feelings and emotions and that is the seat of maintaining relationships. It is the mammal brain which is the basis of parental care, relationship with the kids and kids which eventually result into formation of community. reptilian brain as I told is the newest part, new mammalian brain, neocortex as it is called that is the center for language, ideas, concepts, artistic vision, etc. So, this is the newest part and that is the center where most of the exhibitive functions or most of the complex cognitive activities take place. So, if we explain function of yoga from the perspective of these three brains, these three parts of the brain channelize the power is emerging from the reptilian brain and mammal brain and help the human brain to take charge of things. Please remember the Kathopanishad, the allegory of chariot about human self. So, man is the rean, senses are the horses, charioteer, one who holds the rean is the intellect and that controls it and the direction of the chariot is given by the self, the atman which is the true owner of the chariot. So, so yoga help us to keep the human brain as in charge of our activities. How it does that in a simple terms, how it does that limbs of yoga and we can reflect on our previous conversations, how these different limbs help us in managing our emotions and managing our intellect. In that way, they govern our behavior as well, yam which are satya, ahinsa, astya, brahmacharya, parigra, these set the boundary conditions. These ahyamas are the basic rules or principles on which community or existence operates. If ah entities, living entities stop following these niyamas, ah there will not be order in community, family or in nature. That is why Patanjali Maharshi call these yamas as maha vratas, the obligations or duties which are to be followed in all stages and all conditions of life. These yamas help us to align our self with the community or with the nature and ah these set the boundary condition. In that way, they manage our emotions because once the boundary conditions are set, naturally our emotions are channelized niyamas which are ah Shaoja, Santosh, Swadhyay, Ishwar Pranidhan, they maintain and cleans our inner conditions. Shaoja is related to the external cleansing as well, otherwise Swadhyay, Santosh, Ishwar Pranidhan, these are all related to managing our mind and managing and controlling our mind and maintaining the inner interiority in such a way where our mind can be directed towards functional and harmonious objectives. Asanas, we discussed asanas in great detail and we also looked at asanas as psychosomatic interventions because when we perform asanas, it is not only useful, it is not only very good for our physical self, not only useful for our body to remain flexible. It also helps our mind to maintain itself better. It also generates a kind of a pleasantness in our mind and how it does that? It does that by bringing coherence ah in the brain waves, by lowering the stress hormones and releasing the happy hormones. Then comes pranayam ah rhythmic breathing and different types of pranayams we discussed in the previous session and its unique ah property breath is by definition of voluntary activity, but we cannot live without it. So breath controls and connects our sympathetic and parasympathetic system. It connects our interiority with exteriority. So by managing our breath as it is done in pranayam, we can ah experience the relaxation and we can regulate our mind ah pratyahar that is a sense withdrawal prati ahar means instead of enjoying our senses through the outside goods and things ah reflecting back our senses towards interiority and that is like stepping back purposefully and that helps us to maintain a limited stimulants that helps us to maintain a limited exposure to the stimulants and uniform exposure to the stimulants and that brings calmness and equanimity of mind. Dharana that is one pointedness that is the source of self mastery. When I am able to remain focus on my dharma, when I am able to remain focus on the thought, I am able to perform my dharma or I am able to create which is the potential of the thought. So dharana brings a kind of purposefulness to our mind to our personality and purposefulness is extremely important for our mind to get managed. The most this ah harmful thing we can do to our mind which in turn be harmful to our overall self is not remaining focused. Obviously, the most helpful thing to manage our mind is to identify the purpose and remaining focused on that. Then comes dharana quietening of mind in the quietitude of mind great things emerge. So that is the space of intelligence that is the source of intelligence and samadhi is the source of bliss ah that is about transcending emotions and individualized cognition. Happens in the state of samadhi, but that is not individualized that is not limited to my individual identity it is of different kind of cognition ah and that becomes the source of bliss and ah transcendence. So you can see that all limbs of yoga help us to manage emotional balance and manage our mind. The question is how mind actually gets entangled and and what is the ideal state of mind? These answers are given in the second chapter of a yoga sutra. It says that Swaswamy Shaktioga the union of the Purusha and Prakriti the constant integrated ah awareness that is Purusha and Prakriti which is the manifestation that that which is ah made up of guna and dosha when the combination and merging of identity happens of Purusha and Prakriti that is the ah that is the cause that causes the realization of nature that causes the self awareness. And from there itself a Vidya emerges Tastya Hetur Vidya ignorance is in the cause of this association this union. What happens in that association? We remain deeply identified with the with this association. We remain deeply identified with the Prakriti with our guna and dosha. We do not identify ourselves with the Purusha. So, ah tath abhavaat san yoga abhava hanam tath drashi kaivalam that means the seizing of that union is the ideal condition han that is the ideal condition. So, there being absence of ignorance there is absence of union and which is the thing to be avoided that is the state of the liberation of the seer. So, han which is adarsh stiti ideal state what is that ideal state that is a seizing of the connection ah unconscious ah union of Prakriti and Purusha when the han is achieved in the adarsh stiti in the ideal state vivek khyati how that han is achieved what is the way of achieving that ideal state the way of attaining ideal state is vivek khyati clear and distinct discriminative knowledge which can distinguish Prakriti and Purusha that is vivek khyati and that is called han opai opai means way han is adarsh or ideal way of achieving ideal according to yoga sutra is vivek khyati. And what happens in the vivek khyati what what are the sign of attainment of vivek khyati that sign is saptadha prantabhumi pragya the wisdom of 7 type we are going to look at what are those 7 types of wisdom vivek khyati is achieved this is reflected in ah attainment of the 7 types of wisdom his the yogi who has acquired discriminative enlightenment knowledge is of the 7 fold highest ground prantabhumi is the ground pragya meaning wisdom saptadha means 7 types tasya is his so when the han opai happens vivek khyati is achieved 7 types of wisdom arise and that can happen by following 8 limbs of yoga a yoganga nushthanaad asuddhi khyati by practice of the limbs of yoga the impurities being destroyed knowledge becomes engulfed up to discrimination that is the ah translation we have taken from the book of ah Bihar school of yoga munger most of the translation are actually taken ah from the books of the Bihar school of ah yoga as located in munger


I'm going to talk a little bit about prayer.  As Christians, as the followers of Jesus, Jesus said that we must pray and pray without ceasing. A prayer is simply a communication between God and man. This is what prayer is. And we need to, as Christians, we need to spend time in prayer. Jesus asked his disciples to pray with him for at least one hour. And I think as followers of Jesus Christ, I strongly believe that every single day we should spend at least an hour with Jesus before we start our day. Spend in his word and spend talking with him. I mean, think about it. Why wouldn't you? Why wouldn't you talk to somebody who holds the universe in his hand, who has all the wisdom, who has all the knowledge, he has all the resources, he has all the connections? When you begin your day out praying, you set your day and you align your day according to God's will. And we in our church, we believe that we need to pray and we need to pray a lot. Well, Jesus believed that church needs to pray and pray a lot because he said, the house, my house will not be called a house of worship, house of preaching, but he said one thing, my house will be called a house of prayer. Jesus put a huge emphasis on prayer and I believe as followers of Jesus Christ and as Jesus is our role model, role model, we need to follow his footsteps and put as much emphasis that Jesus puts on prayer. Jesus spent mornings in prayer. We see Jesus spent nights in prayer on the mountains. And so in our church, we have morning prayers. At four o'clock in the morning, the church doors are open every single day from Monday through Friday. And we encourage every person that is around this area in Pasco or even Richland and Kenwick, it's only, our city is not that big. It's only a few minutes drive, 10 minutes drive or so. We encourage you that you come and stop by from four o'clock to about 10, 11 o'clock. Even if you want to come during lunch, the sanctuary is open. Usually the music is playing here. Come with your Bible, come with your notebook. Come and pray, see God's face and do your devotions. Number one reason why we need to pray is because Jesus prayed. And if we as Christians want to be more like Jesus, we need to do what Jesus did. And so we as a church, we have a big vision. We have a vision to see a 24 seven prayer chain going in our church. That we will have people, we will have teams that 24 seven, they'll be a prayer offered to God. So we can fulfill the scripture that Jesus says, pray without ceasing. You know, there was one revival in Paso Blasio the other night, where it was for 100 years without breaking 24 seven, that was prayer offered. When we pray, God moves. When we pray, God opens the heavens. When we pray, God begins to answer. Like Martin already mentioned today is that God, Satan can't stop God from mentioning our prayer. Satan is no match for God. So what Satan is trying to do is he tries to stop us from praying. We see in the story of Daniel, the Satan was really bothered by the fact that Daniel was praying because he knew that Daniel is going to pray the Israel out of the captivity. And guess what? This is exactly what happened. And he was, he motivated people that Satan was so agitated by Daniel praying that he stirred the hearts of people to write the law, to be, to outlaw to pray to anybody and any other God but the king. And Daniel was even at that point wasn't willing to give up prayer. He was willing to die for prayer. I wonder if we would have a perspective of Daniel that we would not let go of prayer even if it cost our life. I wonder if he would see the results that Daniel saw. So that's why as a church we strongly believe, we strongly believe that that prayer is very important. I encourage every person, especially those of you that are home group leaders or home group helpers, come out and pray. Come out and pray for your home groups.  Pray them out. Let's begin to pray to see that people that are on drugs will begin to be set free. People that are facing relationship challenges or divorce, they will be restored, they will be healed. People that are in sicknesses, they will be healed. If we pray, God will answer. That's His promise. So I encourage every person, every person, if you have a chance to come out and pray with us, pastors here, senior pastors here from sometimes even 3 o'clock in the morning, youth pastors here from 5 o'clock in the morning till a whole morning, a bunch of our leaders are here, other people coming in, even people that don't go to our church, stop by here and pray. So I encourage every person, come out, come out and pray. If I see Isenia, she's a single mom and she has two kids and she's able to make it to morning prayer. I think a bunch of us that here are single or maybe we're married and we don't have much responsibilities, you have no excuse not to be here. If Nadia who has three kids makes it here with three of her kids, when her husband is at work all by herself and she comes here in the morning and walks back and forth with them, carrying one child and two on both sides and walking back and forth and praying, we as young people, we have no excuse not to pray.  Let's see God move. Let's see God move. God will move only when we pray. God has already done everything in His power. He has done everything. He opened the treasures of heaven. He sent Jesus Christ and died for the world. He saved, He died for the whole world. But it will be up to us how many people will get saved. It will be up to us how many people we pray out because those people we don't pray for, Satan will not let go of them easily. And so I encourage every person make the time in the morning. The mornings are the best times because when you wake up you have a clean slate.  There is nothing written on it. There is no worries, there is no anxieties. Let Holy Spirit take the best part of your day. Let Holy Spirit occupy the best portion of your day. And you will see that Holy Spirit will help you in your affairs, in your daily tasks, with your problems, with your anxieties, with your worries. You will see that they are going to go down and Holy Spirit will use you to see it for other people. Amen? Are you going to be praying? Generation. Come on. Are we going to be a Jacob generation that sees God's face? Let's put it together. So I'm looking forward to see you all. I believe that one day we will have morning service filled like this with people. Every pew will be filled. And we will be praying for our generation. We will see a great move of God. Amen? Let's put our hands together one more time for Jesus.


So it's finally time to see how we can earn some money. In this video we are going to see how we can use Google building plugin a first-party plugin and loot locker to see how we can allow players to purchase our assets. So for instance I'm going to use the mobile because this only works on the play store at the moment and I'm going to purchase an asset. Let's see this areas one here this areas cloth golden cloth and Google will ask me to confirm the purchase I will confirm the purchase Google will confirm the purchase and the inventory will update and there we have it so let's test this out yeah everything is working so let's get started so in this video we are going to approach it as if we are targeting Android platforms okay so something that I have to say beforehand is that we are not going through all the process of setting up a game in the play store using the google play services no we're not going to that because this will go way beyond the scope of this video but let me know in the comments if you guys would like a course a whole a complete course a crash course about how you can develop and implement a all the features that we need to implement in order to have a complete game a mobile game that we are going to publish on play store so it will have advertising it will have purchase and billing services we are going to use a loot locker the google play services plugin the google billing services plugin as well and everything that we need to make some money with mobile games let me know in the comments if this is of your interest but let's go back to the video so the first thing that we need to do in order to hook loot locker to the google billing platform to the google play store platform is to get a service api private key so how we can do that I have here the loot locker dashboard but we have to go to the api access uh on our play store console and we can find that on the setup api access we have to find the services the service accounts and we can view this in google cloud platform with the services accounts available we can click on the first one or whatever service account want to to work with click on the email or create a new one and you go to keys add a new key create new key and we generate a json file okay and then we can go back to our loot locker dashboard and then we go to the settings and we have your platform the platforms option here we are going to select the android platform we have the steam enable as well so if you have a steam publisher publisher key you can pass it right here as well but we are going to android and we can paste the content of the json file that we created on the google uh the google console platform you paste the content right here on this service account field and of course you add the package name on this field as well enable the android platform and save this so everything is hooked up uh the next thing that we need to do is to take the google play store uh asset id and link it in the loot locker asset id as well so how we can do that we go to content the content option we select the asset and let's see this iris sand here edit and then we remember that i think that on the assets video we have this platform properties option right so we click on that and right below here we have google play store properties so we paste the the product id here and you can find this product id on the google play store console then we have here products in app products and when you will create a new product you have to add an app in app a product id so you just copy this or in this case the iris one so it's this one you just have to copy this into the loot locker api into the loot locker asset console so you have to paste it on this field here then you can save it and with that we have everything set up everything ready so you can use good enough to hook loot locker with the game with the play store api okay so let's see how all these three things work together so to actually file a purchase request it's quite simple with the loot locker api the most troublesome part is actually setting up everything on the google play services console this is the most troublesome part but after this is ready the call the loot locker call is very simple we just have to make a post call to this url with the content type that we already using the accession token as well and with the the content of the request with the request body being a dictionary actually an array of dictionaries that has a key an asset id that is the asset id that we are requesting the loot locker to to unlock for our player and a purchase token key that has a purchase token supplied by google play store how do we obtain that how do we get this token godot engine has a first part plugin so this is maintained through the the very godot develops themselves and this is the google the godot google play billing plugin and this is what he used to actually file the billing uh procedures so that the player can confirm that they are trying to to purchase an asset and google will call make some calls on the play services platform so that they will build the play they will send the billing for the player and once everything is ready so you can see that we have all of these instructions here showing us how we can configure and setting and set up this plugin on our product the most important part is here purchase an item we have to make a call to this method the purchase method with my in app item this is a stream that actually uses the play store id as the the value right so there is not there is no documentation for that but this is the the play store asset id that we just add to the loot locker platform and another very important part of this process is actually acknowledge the purchase this is what will make google actually build the player and see if they have enough money to pay for this asset etc and if everything goes well we'll get a signal that will tell us that the purchase went okay it will retrieve us with the token and we will use this token on the loot locker api call that we just saw to so loot locker will take everything and unlock this asset on the player inventory seems complex but let's see this in work on grud engine so here we are on the skin selection screen and i have here the skin shop which have the the google play billing uh node this can be a singleton but i decided that since i only needed here i is just a simple node let's open this so i can show you how this works so i have a signal that is the purchase token retrieved so when everything goes well when everything is done correctly if the player has bad has the credit to purchase the asset the final thing the thing that we are trying to to reach with everything that i'm going to show is this the token so when everything goes well and if everything works we are going to retrieve a token and admit it to the the skin shop school container that i'm going to show you later following all the instructions that we have on the documentation i connected some signals to some methods here but the important part is this method this is a custom method that i created which takes the play store id it asks for the network state label to show the purchasing animation and then it query for the details of this play store id so this is one of the most important parts because before any purchase we have to query for the sql details okay so we use the the play store id here and we have to say that it is an in-app purchase this can be a consumable or this can be a recurring payment service so a subscription and we yield for this payment which is the singleton that we try to retrieve here so if the engine gets singleton a good old google play billing is uh if we have the singleton uh this payment variable becomes a pointer to that single we yield for it to finish gathering the the sql details and then we ask for the payment singleton to make to start the purchase the purchase process the first thing that we do when the when we have the connection when the the singleton emits the connected signal is that we carry for the purchase for purchases right so if the player already has some already has some purchase we want to prevent it from trying to purchase it again because remember the play store asks for it demands us that we do that so what why not do it uh right at the beginning right i have some other signals but basically these are just uh error handling the the second most important part here is that we have just this unpurchase updated which has some purchase here that once we carry for some purchase it will try to update this and we'll omit the signal here so for every purchase in purchases we acknowledge this purchase and this is the most important part because when we when we have let me fold this as well because this is not very important but when we actually acknowledge the purchase is when we are going to retrieve to get the token that we want this is the nugget that we want from all this process so we have this token here which is the purchase token that we are going to retrieve from the the purchase singleton and then we omit a signal a signal telling that the purchase token was retrieved and we send the the token with that and then we change the the network to state label to purchase acknowledge this is how we actually retrieve the token that we want now that we have that going to the skin shop screw container let's see what goes a bit before this is how all this process uh begins so when the player remember that we have this this asset this skin buttons right that they have some uh verbals one of them uh two of them are the asset idea and the play store idea if you are not aware of what i'm talking about you can see the assets and inventory uh videos of this series and then we go to this google billing which is what we just saw this note the google billing note and we call this custom method that i just uh talking about that receives as an argument the play store id then we yield for the google billing purchase token retrieved signal which is the one that we just saw and we access the first key of the first index of this signal as the token value and then we we start the actual purchase part on the loot locker side of all of this relationship here and for that we pass the asset id and this is the asset id that we have on loot locker and not on the play store okay so these are different ideas here we pass the loot locker id and the token that we just retrieved from all the google billing procedures so the purses part goes here we have the url that we saw on the api on the locker api the header with the accession token the method method post the request data which is basically a dictionary with the asset id and the purses token that we just gathered so we make the the request then we yield for the response we get the response body but we actually don't even need that but in any way we emit the signal this asset pushes signal which sends a signal to the skin selection screen that tells the inventory to clear all the current skins that it has and load the the new ones so this is an update on the inventory and that's how it goes sounds a bit complex because it is i had quite a time trying to set this up but if everything goes well this is what is going to happen i will put some footage of the purses process uh in the screen right now and with that we wrap up this series guys thank you so much i want to thank the loot locker uh guys for reaching me out for making this series for them uh it's a very very powerful uh apis they they have like we just saw i think that six services but they have i think that more than 20 services available for all types of features that we want on wood player online games so definitely check this out uh i really hope you enjoy it thank you so much for watching keep developing and until next time don't forget to leave the comments below if you want the if you want a course about how you can make uh how you can monetize mobile casual games okay so that's it thank you so much for watching keep developing and until next time


cale would be, but something to sort of pilot and sort of them show the potential of then expanding it out. What's a meaningful sort of size? Well, we have some experience with that. So in Nebraska, which when the Clean Water and Air Act was passed in the early 70s, gave regulatory authority to comply to states. Many states did it at the state level. But in Nebraska, there was distrust of state government. So not only federal government, but of state government. So they delegated to natural resource districts that are essentially small watersheds of which there's 23 in Nebraska and gave them taxing authority and they vote for board members. So their neighbors are on the board and they said to the natural resource districts, you comply. And you know what the first thing they did when they had responsibility to comply? They required getting the data. And so we've plumbed that database and then gone back to the growers that now, we had to get their permission and it's completely anonymized and it's in collaboration with them. But we've shown them that that database can be used in amazing ways to look at how they prioritize their decisions. We've also worked with the soybean growers and shown that you can identify not with nitrogen but just for instance, when is fungicide working? And why? You can see you can pick out things that you can see effects of things that are one factor against 20 other factors. And they're all varying across farms because each farmer is putting together their particular management practice in its own way. And so I think it's been demonstrated, Jennifer, that this works quite well. It's a matter of I think getting buy-in and there's such a mystique about data, about what its value is and who owns it that really distracts I think from the key issue which is some data are good, more data are better and all of the data are incredibly powerful. And it can be organized in a way where its only purpose is to improve management practices at the farmland. And it can be under farmer control but I just think it's a hard act to get, it's hard against the backdrop of the large corporations that all wanna grab their system and their data, right? And they have a kind of a principality of their own data and their own users and we're caught up in that system at this moment. And then distrust, we've heard the word distrust. There is distrust, you can't get away from it. But I think there's a way to do it and I think ultimately it's the only way. Going back to the behavioral science piece. Bonnie, I didn't know if you wanted to add anything, no pressure, okay. Well, I see that Tom Burke are each of my chair. Well, actually, until very recently, each of my chair now, ex-Dishio member has a question. Well, first of all, am I off mute? Okay. Yeah. Okay, great. I'm having troubles with the internet. First of all, this is an amazing discussion. We're now in the fifth session at points during today, hearing about the rural urban divide and the mistrust issues. I was realizing why a long time ago, EHMI picked not just in nitrogen, but really a hard look at the food system and the health connection to be a focus area. We're taking on a wicked problem here. And so much of what we discussed today really gave great examples of why this is such an apparently intractable problem. But I really wanna thank Ken and Bonnie for their perspectives because nothing, there's nothing new under the sun. And just a few short years ago at EPA, I heard the same kind of intractable arguments about oil and gas exploration and fracking and the lack of data and where did it begin? And Ken, you're absolutely right. It begins with information and anonymized data sets. And the data are out there, whether it's on releases or best practices, but we need to really organize. We need to make the best of it. We need to present the metrics. And whether it's oil and gas exploration or going back in time for most of our environmental challenges, it really began with better information and awareness of things to allow us to quantify risks and benefits and start that forward. Now, I understand that no secretary of agriculture could ever get confirmed if they said, I'm gonna take on nitrogen, right? We have an uphill battle here, but I think this discussion has been so rich. If we look at what information can be put out there, if we look at better understanding the cost, if we look at the system more broadly and we identify those hotspots, which we've all known and those communities that are so hard hit as priority areas, I think we can begin to put the pieces together to make progress. It's gonna be a long haul, but I also think I heard in the five sessions that we have an unsustainable system given the trends and particularly in a changing climate. So maybe this is a little bit of a commentary. I'm a public health guy and I have to admit, I've been a little bit shocked by the lack of concern in the agricultural community for the downstream public health effects given the growing evidence. However, I think that is also a very important part of the metric. And as we put this together and perhaps look at the recommendation, particularly from this session, we can really make a difference by informing the decisions in the future. Great. Thank you, Tom. So we're almost at close. I think at this point, I'm gonna hand it back over to Kathy to close out this workshop and the series. Kathy. Thank you. Fantastic job, Jennifer, Elena. It's hard work. It's been a long day. It's been a long five weeks. So I'm not gonna keep you very long, except to say thank you so much for those of you who stuck with us. This has really been a really great coming together of lots of different ideas, lots of different discussion. And I hope really communicating across disciplines and groups of people who often do not have this level of detailed communication. So I'm just gonna close by reminding you that we will have a document summarizing, synthesizing. It'll be short. That'll be available this summer. And one more time, a heartfelt thank you to EHMI, the National Academy staff who did the heavy lifts and all of you who have participated and put so much time and energy into presentations, comments, discussion on Slack and so on. Thank you all. Be well. And stay warm. Stay safe.


me JP and it's time for another JP's product pick of the week. Thanks everyone for stopping by. I've got the Discord happening over to adefrew.it slash discord. Check out the live broadcast chat channel. It'll look something like that right there. And also I'm able to check out the YouTube chat. So hello BeataGraph and Evil Dave. Nice to see you. If you are somewhere else such as Twitch or Facebook or LinkedIn learning and you're wondering where the chat is, come on over to our Discord adefrew.it slash discord. So first thing I want to do is let you know that you can head right there and a number of associated other URLs that will be very clear very shortly for this week's product pick. And you're going to see that this week's product pick is a whopping 50% off. So head on over there. As you probably know, you don't need a coupon code or anything like that for the product pick of the week. Just put it in your cart during the show and the discount price is taken care of for you. So head right there and check it out. But before I go any further, let's have Lady Aida jump back just a brief moment in time to explain this week's product pick. Take it away, Lady Aida. We have updated the quad or sorry 14th segment quad alphanumeric displays to have stem and QT connectors on the back. So it's the same size and shape and pin out as before. But now you can plug and play it much easier. For now, you still have to solder the X4 putting up with that. So I'm thinking that happened during the Lady Aida movie. So I'm going to start that again. I don't know if this will work. I will try to start it partway through, but I don't think my software loves that. So give me one moment. I'll try to skip that ahead a bit. I'll see what happens. We have updated the quad or sorry 14th segment quad alphanumeric because we really like to show these things just to show you really as easy. We can run a company run a show and somehow manage to also do live demo in more displays if you like. For this one, I just soldered in Swiss pins so we could like quickly change out the cut like this, you know, this stem and QT board and I just have a connector going to it. So it's easy to plug and play and then you can of course chain more displays if you like. For this one, I just soldered in Swiss pins so we could like quickly change out the colors because I want to do this demo. So we've got bright green and then you can also get, let's see, I'll just swap out one. One. You can get red and get the right way around live demo. There you go. You lit it up though. Oh, you did. What? It did. I saw it. I know, but you know, I didn't insert these flat. I was all like, we do live demos. I know, I know, but the problem with live demos is sometimes I... I'll edit it in post. Look how perfect it is. Everything's fine. Everything's fine. Everything's okay. That thing's going on. Everything's safe. There you go. Okay, I fit it in. Hi, everything's fine. Nothing happened. So what's nice about the 14 segments, of course, you can see if you're doing letters, you can have like lower case and upper case letters. And so our libraries have, for CircuitPython Arduino, have a font that you can use that will display it nicely. Otherwise, it's plug and play. The one update that I did do is there is now, instead of two power pins, there's a VIO and a V high pin. So the VIO pin is the same as the systemic UT pin, which means like in this case, it's running off of three volts, which is, which is plenty, plenty bright. But I'm going to do a dangerous live demo because I didn't try this ahead of time. Yeah, okay. If you're... I like it. You learn nothing. I learn nothing. But it, so it's running at three volt power and three volt logic, but then I can connect this to USB power. Whoa. And then it gets even brighter. So now I'm powering just the LEDs. Whoa. I can power just the LEDs, oh my god. Blowing up the camera. It's so bright. Okay. Yeah. So at five volts power and then three volt, five volt, three volt, five, we can see it's a little bit different. Yeah. It's a little bit brighter. So handy. And then I touched on things. But it's handy if you are, if you, because one of the issues people had is, oh, they wanted to use three volt logic for the driver chip, but they wanted the LEDs to be driven from five volts to get like a brighter look, especially for the green and blue and white, which have a forward voltage of about 3.4 volts. So updated. It's one of our Stem Acutification projects. We're trying to go through every product and QTFI. And so you can see we're going back in time. This is one of our older products, but now it's plug and play. Yep. Yes, indeed it is. So thanks for putting up with that. Sorry about both the stream health, which plummeted but seems to be decent at the moment. Knockwood. And also the Echo. Got rid of that. So let's dive into it. I'm actually going to just pop up this little window here so you can see it from the overhead that right there is my product pick of the week. It is the Quad Alpha Numeric 14 Segment LED Backpack. This is a update of an existing backpack that we had. It runs over I squared C. So you know what we did? We did what we always do. We added a Stem Acutee slash quick port. There's actually two of them back there so that you can daisy chain this along with other devices that run on the I squared C bus. So long as they have a unique I squared C address and you can chain together a bunch of these. So let's do some little demos, shall we? I've got, I'm going to jump back to this view of the world here and I will. Hey, that's so so many of me. There we go. That's a little better. What I'll do is plug this in to a KB2040. It happens to have a Stem Acutee port on it. So it's nice and easy. And you can see here I'm just going to plug my little Stem Acutee cable in on one side. You could go to either side of the board there. You'll notice the nice thing here is that the connectors are vertical mounted, not horizontal mounted. So that makes it a little easier to put a couple of these together side by side flush because the cable doesn't come out sideways. So I've got that plugged into the KB2040. I'll go ahead and give power to the board.  I'm lighting up every segment on it there for a moment, as you can see. Then I'm spelling out some things. Here's quad alpha bunch of random characters there. You can light up individual segments if you want. Yee-haw, my friend, is what that said right there. So you can see we get uppercase and lowercase. And then it says JPOW, product pick of the week, except I had to fit it in four characters there. So this is a little bright at the moment. One thing you can do with these, I'll show you an example in a moment, is put a bit of a tinted film or glass or plastic over it, which cuts the con or kind of increases the contrast, gets rid of the the unlit characters. You won't see those. You'll only see the lit ones. In fact, let me grab just a piece of, I've got some film here I've used for that purpose before. Where did I put that? I think it's right here. It's a little dusty. I'll wipe some of that dust off of that. This is just a lighting gel, but you can see this works wonders for your legibility there. So let's take a look at what's going on in code to do this very simple demo. And the code is very simple. So the key thing here is that we're importing this HT16K33 library. That takes care of pretty much everything for you. So I'm setting this up on the I squared C bus with the default address. We can also, as you'll see here, have multiple of these chained together by using multiple I squared C addresses. But right now I've just got a single instance of this being created and I'm naming it display. I've set the brightness here to 0.3. And then when this starts up, the first thing it happens, I'll just resave this so you can see, is that we fill 0, that blanks the screen, then we fill 1 and that lights up every character. Then I'm doing things like printing. Your quad and alpha, that's just a print statement, couldn't be easier. You can also do individual characters. So if you have a reason to, you can set, whoa, we're getting beeps. Let's see, does that mean the stream has gone funny? No, I don't know where those beeps are coming from. One second, I'm going to turn off my alerts. There we go, that might help. So here you can see, yeah, it's possible to light up individual characters, print out things in upper and lower case. You can use punctuation as well. I'll demonstrate that. And here you can set those individual segments. So unlike the typical seven segment display, which is essentially the number eight broken up into seven segments, this one has all of those diagonals and the horizontal is broken into two pieces, which is how we're able to do so many legible characters like the W there. That's really just a pain in the neck to do a W on a regular seven segment display. Kind of have to take up two characters to do it, or do some weird compromised version of it. We also have some neat tricks here such as marquee. So marquee just looks for a phrase. And then you can set the speed that it's going to go and whether it's going to loop or not. So I've set loop to false here. You can also do things like move individual characters around. And I'll show you some slightly more sophisticated demo or at least a bigger demo in a second. But before I do that, let's go and check out some web pages. So first of all, we have, bring this up, the main, get me out of there, main page. So unlike most product picks of the week, this one doesn't just have one URL, even though I only showed one, it's all five of these. So this comes in red, blue, white, yellow and green. So you can get any of those with this same discounted deal. The prices do vary, I believe, depending on the color or maybe that's, maybe I'm wrong. Okay, it looks like they're the same price. No, they do vary. Okay, some of these are a little cheaper than others. I'm not sure why, but yeah, some LED colors are cheaper. Red is the cheapest you can get. So if you want to build a project with lots of these, you can get up to 10 of these with the discounted price right now.  And oh, let's see, the red go out of stock. I bet these are going out of stock quick at these prices or any left. Oh my goodness, it looks like these are selling right through. Well, I hope you grabbed them, but let me keep selling. I'll also mention there are variations of this available in the store. They won't have the discounted price, but you can get, I believe some of these now come as a pre-soldered one. And you can also get the ones that don't use the Stema QT cable but are still over I squared C, which is what those pins are up on the top. If you're wondering how to use this, head on over to Learn and just look up this LED Backpacks guide. This actually covers a whole array of LED Backpacks, including dot matrix style ones, 8x8, 16x8. But we have these alpha numerics here. And so this will tell you what to do, what to load, how to use it in both Arduino and in Circuit Python as well as Python on the desktop. It gives you wiring examples and usage. So if you head on over to, for example, the Circuit Python usage shows you how to set it up, set the brightness, blink rate. That's another one I didn't show in the demo there, but you can just tell a character to blink a certain increment speed. I think there's four preset speeds you can use. And on and on, printing hexadecimal. Here's the bit mask for setting individual segments. So you can see here we have all of those, including the dot, the little period there. In our library, you can just type a period and it'll light that up next to the letter that you're currently using. But that is an individual bit that you can set if you have a reason to. And that's the learn guide there. So go and check that out. And now I wanted to show an example of these chains together. So if you go back to my overhead here and do a little bit of a camera setup, let's put, how about, just this big one for now. And I'm just gonna do a bit of focus on this. Where'd you go? There we go. So what I have here, I'll remove these.  So I have five of these displays, each color. I have them all plugged into each other on the back using the Stemma QT. And then I have that plugged into a little QT Pi here. It's QT Pi RP 2040. And I'll go ahead and plug that in. Each of these, I have set the jumpers on to give them unique addresses. And I'm going to set these little blockers in place here, these little filters in place so that we get higher contrast there. And so you can see here, it's going to run through all of the, in fact, let me restart this. So here I've got some nice upper and lower case alpha stuff. It says alpha numeric display. And now we're running through the uppercase letters. Once you have this set up, you can just throw long lines of text added or strings of numbers. It knows what to do. So there's nothing you have to do to manage it. It just acts as a single display, which is terrific. The library is excellent.   And then I'm just going to loop through some numbers and letters here. Any stuttering you're seeing is just a video artifact. It's actually running really smoothly in real life. So taking a look at the code here, bring up my coding window, close that, and I'll open up this example. So same sort of thing. I've got the HT16K33 library imported. I'm setting up my iSquared C object or iSquared C bus. I'm setting my display object. This time, all I do that's different is tell it a number of addresses. So address equals, and then I fed it 71, 2, 3, 4, and 5. So those are just based on soldering the jumpers on the back. And then I have my display brightness setting going through some of the same stuff here. You can see when I do something like display print alphanumeric display, you'll see that that's all I had to do is just tell it, hey, print that long piece of text and slide that out there. It will take care of it for you. Just thinks of it as a 20 character wide display in this case. And then I'm going and just creating a marquee. You'll notice I don't even have to loop. We could do other code, and it'll just keep looping as we do things. So it's really nice. It takes care of all of the housekeeping for you. So let's see. Any questions? Let me know. I'll bring up the Discord here. I see Janisku threw a nice gift up of our favorite DeLorean, the time traveling DeLorean, with the multiple seven segment display. So you could do more sophisticated stuff, more legible stuff really with a alphanumeric. They're great. They can do the same stuff. As you'll see, a lot of these numbers other than the five and the zero, I think, are pretty much standard as you would see on a seven segment. So you can do numbers clean, but then you can do these fancier things. These do not have a colon. So it doesn't have the blinking dots between the two. That's just one of the differences here. But these do have the little decimal point dots. All right. Let's see. I think that about covers it. Let me know if you have any other questions in any of the chats. And I'll wrap this up. So let me jump back over here. And just a reminder, if you want to get the product pick of the week, it often pays off to get here early. I know we sold out of these pretty quickly, even though we had a bunch of them in stock and five different colors. So this is really popular. But get here early. That's all I can say. We don't do any kind of brain checks or anything like that with them. If you do want to know when you can get some more at the regular price, just fill in your email address on the page and say, let me know. There's a notify me section on the webpage. So I will prep this one for hanging on the pegboard there. Plug in both sides. That's my product pick of the week this week. It is the Quad Alpha Numeric 14 Segment LED Backpack Display with StemaQT. Thanks everyone for stopping by for Adafruit Industries on John Park. And this has been JP's product pick of the week. I'll see you next time. Bye-bye. Bit of bonus content. I just wanted to mention the little backpack here was made by our own Todd Botte using Stable Diffusion. So that backpack doesn't exist in the real world, but he fed it something like Quad Alpha Numeric backpack or LED backpack and we got that. So thanks Todd. Thanks Stable Diffusion.


Dupont, maker of better things for better living through chemistry, presents John Garfield in The Blessings of Liberty. Before we begin our play, here's a suggestion for victory gardeners and factory workers. Dupont Protec, hand protective cream, acts like an invisible glove. Apply it to your hands before starting work. To remove, use running water to dissolve the protective film and carry the dirt away with it. By Protec, made by Dupont, he are a free people. The guarantee and contract of our liberty are simply stated and written down for all men to know and ponder. But words without deeds are barren for what avail the plow or sail or land or life if freedom fails. Our Dupont cavalcade is a story of an American soldier on the Anzio beachhead awaiting the signal for a shower and the remembrances out of his life that give bone and blood and heart to our word guarantee of freedom. Cavalcade recognizing I am an American day to be celebrated next Sunday presents John Garfield as Private Jim Hunter, Army of the United States in The Blessings of Liberty, an original radio play by Sylvia and Robert Richards on The Cavalcade of America. I'm Manson Hunter, 25 years old from Adams, Indiana. I'm waiting with my company in a stone farmhouse on the Anzio beachhead. It's almost dawn and at 5 a.m. we will attack. Yesterday, other men were here who went where we are going. We saw some of them being brought back during the afternoon. As for us, for the past hour, we've just been talking. It's getting lively out there. We must be giving it to them. You know, the noise that gets me. Is this your first time? Yeah. Oh, you'll get used to it, Lou. Sure. It's just like when we moved from Flatbush to Manhattan. What time is it, Jim? He just told you. I'm a guy. Can I ask him? Talk, talk, talk. What time is it? Don't like the noise. It's getting later. Listen, brother, no, and the time won't help. All right, Tony. Keep your shirt on. Hey, anybody got something to read there? We could take two. It's catechism. That's all. Gee, that's funny. It is not. Yours is. Well, we don't do that. Hey, old Mary, our catechism. Don't you do any of the rest? What's the rest? Like our father who art in heaven? Oh, sure we do. Everybody does that. But you don't. But you don't even know it. Sure. It's our father who art in heaven. How would be thy name? What's the name of your Sunday school? St. Mary's. It's Catholic. Oh. Well, I guess that's all right. Sure it is. Pretty big thing when you come to think of it that a kid can get to be seven years old without even knowing that there's any difference of opinion about religion. In Germany or Japan, people have been killed for saying what we kids said that morning. And that's in the Constitution. Freedom of religion. I wonder what happened to Tom Alloy. He's in this, too, somewhere. He volunteered before me. There's something else I remember. I was about 12 or 13. You see, my father's a lawyer. And for a long time, he was county attorney. And he and my mother used to talk at supper time about what was going on in the town. And I just listened. Most of it was over my head. But one night, it was spring, I remember. He came home awfully worried. Is the meat too well done, dear? Huh? Oh. Oh, no, no, no. It's fine. You're not eating. You know, Anne, it's a bad business. I don't like it. Yes, but you have to eat. Jim, dear, Elba's off the table. Oh, yes, Mom. Oh, what's a bad business, Dad? Well, it's just your father's case, Jim. Is it about what Eddie Parker'd asked? Please, Jim. What do you know about Mrs. Parker, son? Oh, gee. I know somebody killed her because she was a miser and had lots of money. Yes. And they caught the man who did it. And he had blood all over him. And he confessed. You see, Anne? Oh, it's true. Isn't it, Dad? No. No, Jim. It isn't. Oh, gosh. Everybody says. Look, Jim, boy. I'll tell you what's true. Sure, Dad. Mrs. Parker was killed. The man's been arrested. The man who's called a hobo. But, but he confessed. No, son. He's not confessed. And there was no blood. Oh, gee. You see, Anne, even in our home, rumors, threats, it's all over town. But, dear, they couldn't. Well, they won't. Friendship. Listen. Oh, no, Jim.  Oh, please, please, John, no. Dad, can I go with you, Dad? I have to. And I have to try. Somebody has to stop them. John, you'll be hurt. Let me go too. Please, sir. Don't worry. I won't be hurt. May God know what it is. Somehow I gave my mother the slip and followed. I don't know how. But I remember I felt some of the excitement of nights at the county fair. It took just a few minutes for me to get to the center of town. I met people going the same way I was. People who ran out of the side streets carrying axes, guns, clubs, and yelling. When I got to the jail, there was a big crowd yelling and pushing. I saw my father standing alone on the steps of the jail. He was facing the crowd shouting. Tell us, what are you doing here?  This man's entitled to a trial to protection under the law. We've got a job to do. I'm ashamed for you. For our town. If you do this, there's not a man or woman left. Suddenly, I couldn't see my father. The mob went forward and I followed it. When I got to the steps, I found him. He'd been hit. There was blood running down his face. And he was wiped and dazed. Jim, Jim, boy, how did you get here? I, I've fallen, Jim. Don't cry, son. Don't cry. Don't cry. But why did they hit you? Why? Don't cry for me, Jim, boy. Cry for them. See, my father was right. It wasn't just that a man got hung who may have been innocent. It was worse than that. For days afterwards, no one in that town could look anyone else in the eye. There was a sort of sickness, a feeling of shame. I don't think it will ever happen again. I think the people learned that night the same things we're learning now. It isn't enough just to have the laws of human decency written down on a book somewhere and call it the Constitution. You've got to make it work. No exceptions. I remember the summer I was 17. I got a job on a farm outside town. There was an old man there, a hired hander, a Polish fellow named Steve. I guess he liked me. And he had a lot to say, even if his English wasn't so hot. One early fall day when there wasn't much work, I decided to go hunting. I was out by the barn cleaning my gun, and Steve hung around and kept talking. Oh, maybe you get rabbit, eh? I cook you. Sure, Steve. Sometimes. Yes, I steal them. Steal them? I thought you lived on a farm. Sure, sure. But in my country, everything belonged to the noblemen. The land, even little birds and rabbits. Everything. No killing. Even rabbits. Well, how'd you catch them? Very hard, with traps. It's very good. You had a gun. Oh, no, this one isn't much. When I get paid here, I'm going to buy me a beauty. In my country, Jim, no guns. What do you mean? Don't they make them? Make them, yes. For the big men who run the country. Oh. Well, you didn't have enough dough to buy one. No, no. You see, they are afraid. Afraid. In America, it is your country. For everybody. So, you have guns? Anybody have guns? Sure. Well, that's right. Over there, big men's country. They are afraid of me, of Steve, of the people. And so, no guns. I still don't get it. You are young man, Jim. I see many things. Yeah? I see you can go shoot rabbit, not steal. Sure, but suppose I couldn't. And you can work hard and save by farm. That is good. Sure, if you go in for farming. Over there, you must farm. But on other man's farm, the nobleman. See, that's lousy. Why do you put up with it? Why don't you get together and change things? Looks easy, Jim. But in America, many people die so you can say this.  Say, Steve, I wonder if... What, Jim?  No, no, Jim, no gun. How about it? Would you like to try mine? No, no, Jim. Oh, come on, Steve, it's fun. No, no, you go. I'm old man. Oh, you'd really like it. Well, I'd like you to try. Why, Jim? Well, I sort of think you've got it coming to you. You are listening to John Garfield, his private Jim Hunter Army of the United States in the Blessings of Liberty on the Cavalcade of America sponsored by DuPont, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. Among these better things are freon safe refrigerants. Freon is now serving the armed forces, and when peace returns, it will be back to quick-freeze your foodstuffs and cool your refrigerator. As our DuPont Cavalcade play continues, four American soldiers are awaiting in a stone farmhouse on the Anzio Beachhead for a dawn attack. Private Jim Hunter, played by John Garfield, is telling the others of the happenings in his life that brought home to him the meanings of American freedom and liberty. It's funny, the things you remember, like that day in 1940. From the minute I got up, I felt excited, and I could tell that my father was even more excited than me. I remember walking down the street with him. I knew every house, every fence, every tree, like the inside of my own hat. But it was like seeing it all for the first time. The people, too. And they looked at me and said hello like I was something they had created in a way they had. By the time we got to the old schoolhouse where we were going, I was feeling pretty important. Everyone we saw was anxious to say hello to ask my opinion and, of course, to give me advice. The last couple of blocks, they were as thick as flies. It's too late now to worry about the presidential vote, I guess. But it's going to be a close thing for old commissioner, and we can't afford to lose that now. Sure, sure, Mr. Nureng. And Jim, I know youngsters like to experiment, but I think it's a bad mistake to start out by splitting your tickets. Take even our candidate for supervisor. It's not what I'd call, well, you know. But still, after all, he's a, well, you know. Oh, sure, Mr. Nureng. I know. You just want to be sure that I vote for the best man. The voting was in a school I'd gone through to the eighth grade. There were quite a few people in the room when we went in. Watchers and people just hanging around. Morning, honey. Good morning, Jim. Morning, Davis. Morning, Mrs. Green. Good morning, Mr. Howard. Hello, Mr. Davis. Hello, honey. Jim. Come over here, Jim. We'll find you in the register. How about it, Davis? Do we let him vote? Hey, come on. I don't know now. You have your certificate? Certificate. Boy, you know the requirements. An authorized statement that you've shaved for three years. I don't know, Mr. Davis. But if you start when you have the hair on your chin, do you stop when there isn't any on your head? Well, here you are, Jim. You sign opposite your name. All right, Mrs. Green. Do you know how to use the machine, son? If you want help? No, thanks, Mr. Ferdy. I'll make out all right. You're entitled to help if you need it. Do you want to go first? Go ahead, Jim. Well, all right. Your turn, Dad. Be right with you. Hello, Mary. Are you going to vote? You know I'm not 21. Whom did you vote for? Oh, the best man. Oh, don't be so cagey. I don't want to tell you how I'd vote if I could. Well, maybe that's why I won't tell you. I don't want to start an argument. So that's it. Oh, hello, Mr. Honest. Hello, Mary. Well, Jim, I guess we'd better get along.  All right, Dad. I'll see you tonight, ma'am. All right. Bye. Bye, son. Well, Dad, quite an experience, isn't it? Yeah, I guess it is. Yeah, I always say that the voting booth is one place where a man stands alone with his conscience. I guess he does. Jim, just between you and me, who did you vote for? Well, Dad, just between you and me and my conscience, I voted for the best man. I couldn't help kidding Dad, even though he was right about the conscience business, but you can't keep your opinions to yourself forever if you really believe in them. I remember a meeting we had in Adams in the town hall. This one was on the wall. We had a speaker from the State Capitol, a guy from some committee, and he really went to town. Oh, great nation, protecting on both sides by mighty barriers of water. It is unthinkable that we are or ever shall be in the slightest danger of attack. I say to you, let us send our boys to be killed, wounded, to be maimed and crippled and blinded by shot and shell for the preservation of alien governments would be the most appalling crime in our national history. Aye, thank you. Jim. No. Somebody ought to say something. Maybe I... Jim, no. Somebody has to. He's wrong. I know you folks talking up about this outside. There must be somebody here. Oh, yeah. Mr. Chairman. That's Jim Hunter. You can't make a speech or anything, but the speaker tonight talked a lot about not sacrificing our young men. Well, I'm just about the right age, I guess, if we get into the war, so I thought I ought to say something. I think the speech we heard tonight is the same kind of speech the French heard a year ago. They thought they were protected by mighty barriers and mighty barriers, too, like the Maginot Line. People were telling them it didn't matter which side won. Well, they found out different. They found out that when Hitler smashed the churches, the schools, and freedom in his own country, that was just the beginning. That he wanted to smash those same things in every country. Of course, people are going to be killed. But people were killed when we set up democracy in this country. And unless we want to give up everything we won then, we're going to have to fight. Does anyone else have something to say? Mr. Chairman, I want to say something. Mary Davis says the floor. Go ahead, Mary. It's not much. I just want to say it seems to me that we can't... I mean, violence is always wrong. Killing is wrong. Oh, Mary. I mean, as long as America can keep out of war, like the speaker said, I think we should. War is so horrible. Mary Davis says the floor. Go ahead, Mary. Mary Davis says the floor. Go ahead, Mary. I'll go out and talk to her. Mary, wait! You shouldn't have run out. But, Jim, I...  But you didn't, Mary. You were fine. Because I really don't know about the war and what's right. I only feel it. Well, Mary, none of us know all the answers. I only made them laugh at me. You see, Mary, that's why I feel like I do about the war. Maybe one of us is wrong or maybe both of us are. But why do we have to fight a war? Because being able to talk is the first thing they take away from us if they got the chance. Jim, I don't want it to happen here. But if there were only some other way... Then what? Then having people killed and crippled.  Oh, um... What is it, Jim? I was going to tell you... Jim. I enlisted this morning. You see, Mary, I know it's coming and I want to do what I can. Jim. I have to do it. For so many reasons. So many things. Our town, meetings like this one. All the things that are good. Yes, and all the things that are bad. So that we can keep on deciding how to make them better. Don't you see, Mary? Yes, Jim. I see. It's seven pages in a world omen, Nick. I... I guess I shouldn't have talked so much. I don't know. I think you got something there. Right, Tony? It's undocated me. It must be late. It's almost five o'clock. Okay, so what's everybody else? Come on, make it seven o'clock. Well, here we go. Everybody all set? Yeah, let's go. Well, this is it, Jim. Yeah. This is it. Thank you, John Garfield. This is Garfield, who has recently returned from an extensive overseas entertainment trip. We'll return in a few moments. In the meantime, here is Gain Whitman, seeking for DuPont to tell us how color can help to prevent thousands of accidents. Last year, more than 18,000 industrial workers were killed on the job. And nearly two million men and women were injured at work. The causes of these tragic accidents are so many and so varied that no single overall plan will solve the problem. We must do everything we can. One suggestion made by DuPont will be of value, we believe. This is a standardized use of colored paints. A suggested method of highlighting danger points in factories with colors. The same color, meaning the same thing in every plant. Color talks. Certain colors mean certain definite things to us. For instance, we're all used to green as a go-ahead signal, meaning safety.  Since colors do mean certain things, every factory in the United States can put them to work and make them talk safety. Some factories already use color, painted pipes and so on for this purpose. But a standardized color code will enable them to make better use of it. Red, for instance, ought not to be used on firefighting equipment and in the same plant on safety devices. It's confusing. What would happen to you if you drove your car across the border into the next state and found all the traffic signals purple and orange instead of red and green? Yet there are some plants today in which a workman can walk 50 feet from one building to another and step into an entirely different system of color signals. A standardized code might specify high visibility yellow, striped with black, or any spot where a man is after stumble or fall. Red, the shoutingest color for dangerous parts of machines, the inside of fuse boxes and so on. Green to identify safety equipment and first-aid rooms. Red for all fire equipment. Blue as a warning against using machinery that's under repair or ought not to be started. And white or gray to mark aisles, storage places and waste receivers. There's good reason to believe a standardized color code will help prevent many personal injuries. DuPont invites plant executives and safety engineers to write for a 16-page illustrated booklet on the subject of safety color code for industry. Right to the radio section, DuPont Company, Wilmington, 98, Delaware. Ducal and Deluxe finishes, self-cleaning house paint, and many special finishes used in industry have been developed by DuPont, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. And now here is John Garfield, star of tonight's Cavalry Day. Thank you. I'm sorry I don't have time tonight to tell you all I saw on our recent trip overseas, but one thing I want to pass on to you, especially to the families of our soldiers, and that is that our soldiers are eating prime beef or wearing grade A leather or getting the best care and equipment of any frontline army in history. This stay owe to you at home, to what you give up, to what you produce. Knowing this, I'm sure you'll sacrifice gladly and produce even more. Thank you and good night. Preston Foster with John Hodiak and Eddie Marr in a ship to remember, a saga of fighting men and their fighting ship. It is the story of the Flatsop Hornet and her crew, which in a shortened heroic career gave Tokyo something to long remember. Cavalcade's music was composed and conducted by Robert Armbrister. John Garfield's star of tonight's play will soon be seen in the Warner Brothers picture between two worlds. This is James Vannon sending best wishes from Cavalcade's sponsor to the DuPont Company out Wilmington, Delaware. We invite you to be Cavalcade's guest again next week when Preston Foster, John Hodiak and Eddie Marr will be heard in A Ship to Remember, a story based upon Alexander Rod Griffin's best-selling book entitled A Ship to Remember, the Saga of the Hornet. For an evening of fine listening, may we suggest that next Monday you tune in your NBC station to hear the Firestone program, Information Please, the Bell Telephone R, and the DuPont Cavalcade of America. The Cavalcade of America sponsored by DuPont came to you from Hollywood, a little blood-gasting company.


A major earthquake of magnitude 7.8 struck central Turkey in northwest Syria February 6 and killed at least 284 people, according to Turkish vice president Fyroktay who said at least 2,323 people had been injured and that 1,710 buildings were completely destroyed. Turkish authorities scrambled rescue teams and supply aircraft to the affected area while declaring a level 4 alarm that calls for international assistance. The quake, which hit in the early darkness of a winter morning, was also felt in Cyprus and Lebanon. Turkish state broadcaster TRT showed rescue workers in Osmanay province using a blanket to carry an injured man out of a collapsed four-story building and putting him in an ambulance. He was the fifth to be pulled from the rubble, it said. Footage on broadcaster CNN Turk showed the historic Gaziantep Castle was severely damaged. President Tayyip Erdogan spoke by telephone with the governors of eight affected provinces to gather information on the situation and rescue efforts, his office said in a statement.


And now, introducing that sculptor, painter, and the chiseler, Mr. Jack Benny. Hello again, this is Jack Benny Chiseling. Er, talking. And, uh, say, listen, Wilson, let's get a couple of things straightened out. I don't like those introductions you keep giving me. Oh, you don't. No, I mean, I didn't like that word chiseler. No, give me that dictionary in a minute. Well, let me see, uh, chiseler, chis, chis, here it is, chiseler, a parasite, a person with no morals. Oh, well, that's all right, Wilson. I thought you were accusing me of carving statues. You know, I got to- Of course not. No, you know, Wilson, you and I have been together five weeks now, and I can't tell who's the comedian on this program. No, really, I'm afraid this show isn't big enough for both of us. That's what I think, Jack. Where do you want your mail sent? I got them that time, folks, did I? Er, yes, sir.  Oh, I didn't know she played. But don't get me wrong, Jack, you know, I paid the tax a fair over tonight. The meter was 60 cents and I paid it. Say, what are you kicking about? A good meter is worth 60 cents, you know? And by the way, Jack, before I forget it, thanks for those two passes you've got me for a central park. Oh, don't mention it, Don, really.  I can take this, you know? Say, by the way, Wilson, what nationality are you, anyway? Well, my mother was Irish, and my father's Scott. Oh, you have Scott's and Irish blood, no? Oh, now I remember when we went to dinner together the other night.  I remember that. Oh, hello, Mary. You look tired. Where have you been? No, I just came from a dance.  I thought you liked dancing? No, all it is is a lot of hugging with music. Well, Mary, didn't you enjoy yourself?  Oh, yes, yes. I can imagine.  How much did you make? No, Mary, listen, wait a minute, the girl, the girl gets the 10 cents. Oh. What kind of dance, Mary? Well, I like waltzes, crocs, crocs, chocolate, vanilla and raspberries. The last one is a nice dance, yes. Hello, Bessie, did I sing my song yet? No, Parker. Well, then I'll wait around. Oh, hello, Frank. What are you doing here so soon? I just came from a dance. Well, that fits our routine of talk. Yes. What kind of a dance? 10 cents a dance, but it only cost me a nickel. Why? I dropped rumours in one leg. See, I don't get the point. Isn't that funny? Very funny, Mary. Say, Jack, I gather from your conversation that you are discussing such a call. Has Don Bester again voted? You know, Don is an orchestra leader, you should know all the dances. What are the latest dances? Well, I should say that the Chim Chams Chimmy and the Uptown Lodon. Oh. I like the Tapioca better. Tapioca. Tapioca? Yes, it's a great dance and makes well-putting, too. Oh, she means karaoke.  Say Wilson. Wilson, Elizabeth, you ever dance? Oh, occasionally. Well, Don, then, Mary, you asked him what his favorite dance is. I haven't got the heart. What's your favorite dance, Chuck? The General Tire Glide with an unskipped movement of the silent safety press. It runs on 40% less air than any other tire and gives your car a perfect rhythm. Paging, Jack, Benny, paging, Jack, Benny. Here I am, play, Don. That was Terry Oker from the motion picture Flying Down a Real, played by Don Bester and his blow-out proof of tears. Oh, boy, am I hot tonight. Well, here's a call-a-gram. Maybe two or three. Who can that be from? Well, well, it's my old friend Sam Friedman in Louisville, Kentucky. Here's what he says. Big crowd here for Kentucky Derby. Hotels all filled.  They came by plane, railroad, and thousands rolled in by... What's this, Wilton? I can't make it out. Let's see, Jack. Oh, boy, am I hot tonight. Well, here's a call-a-gram. Maybe five cents. What? That'll do, y'all. Let's see, Jack. General Pires, I think. That was my call-a-gram. What's that call-a-gram all about, Jack? Well, it's my old friend Sam, you know, the fellow that gives me a tip every year on the Derby. He's right on the ground, you know, get this. He says, um, I've been watching the work out and I don't see how cavalcade can lose. However, Mata Harry will take all the honors if Sir Thomas doesn't beat him. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Sergeant Byrne wins the race. How's that for a tip, fellas? He also says that agrarian, speedmoor, and singing would might upset the dope. And there's a horse called Bazaar that also has four legs. Don't forget to play these horses as they can't lose. You're pal Sam. Well, we can't go wrong, fellas. They gave me so many good horses, I don't know which to play. Yes, Bester, who do you like in the Derby? Well, I like cavalcade. Why, Don? Well, I saw the picture, it's very good. Well, that's a good hunch. Are you going to bet on them? Who's riding? Noel Coward. A great jockey. Yeah, see, he also rode designed for living, you know. Mary, Mary, who do you like in the Derby? Don Bester, I think he looks cute in the Derby. Mary, Mary, when will you stop telling old jokes? When Don Bester stopped wearing old Derby. Oh. Look at that hat he's got on now. He doesn't always wear it, Mary. He's just breaking it in for his trombone, you know. Hey, Parker, who do you like in the Derby? I like singing wood. You singers certainly stick together, don't you? Hey, Jack, where do all those horses get their names? Well, Mary, the cavalcade is named after a picture. He's so as mad as Harry. And Sergeant Byrne is named after a police sergeant.  Yeah, every woman wears one. Well, that's where they get their names. Well, what about that telegram, Jack? Aren't you going to make a bet? Say, I haven't missed a Derby yet. Give me that phone. Hello? Hello, operator, give me Circle 79970. Hello? Hello, is this you, Tom? Yeah. This is Jack Benny. I want to place a bet on the Derby. What do you want? Two dollars on Cavalty. The win or play? The show. Okay. Oh, well, Steve Brody took a chance, you know. Say, Jack, I'd like to take half of your bet. Okay, best for you to take half. That makes it a dollar a piece. Say, can I get another two, Jack? Sure, Parker. You can have half of mine. That'll be 50 cents a piece. Brother, can you share a dime of that, Mary? Okay, Mary. Say, Jack, where'd you make that bet? Circle 79970. Give me that phone. Hey, best for you, you must have a tip on something. I think so. Hello, operator, give me Circle 79970. Right. Hello, is this you, Tom? Yeah. This is Don Wilson. General Tire, straight, place, and show. Okay. Who's riding them? All the smart automobile owners. Okay, Tom, goodbye. Hey, listen, I hope your jockey is non-skid. Well, if we all made our bet, singing would. I mean, Frank Parker will sing Cocktails for Two from the motion picture Murder and the Vanity. Play, Madda Harry. I mean, Don. Say, Jack, Jack, what are you so nervous about? What's the matter with you? Well, you know I got 40 cents on Cavill's gig. Let's see that racing form, will ya? That was Frank Parker singing Cocktails for Two from the motion picture Murder and the Vanity. And now, ladies and gentlemen, last week, if you remember, we started our new series of plays with that stirring melodrama, The Lure of the City. And the following day, the Daily News gave us one and two fifth stars, which is equivalent to 138 in golf. And here is what Damon Runyon said about our last play. The yank with Ruth in the lineup and Cosetti at short could be on top at the end of the season. And here's what Admiral Byrd said about our play. I expect to remain at the South Pole another year, and it is quite cold today, regardless of my friends. Well, anyway, ladies and gentlemen, we have many more of these testimonials to numerous to read. So tonight, by popular demand, we are staging that immoral, or immortal melodrama, the Hills of Old Kentucky, or Indiana, for that matter, anyplace, but as a hill, because after all, a hill is a hill, you know. We have the original All-Star cast here tonight who first appeared in this play at the Old Bijou Theater. Many of you old-timers will remember how, after the first performance, this cast was hit over the head with the Pulitzer Prize. You may also recall the plot of this drama, how the Diddleberries carried on a hundred-year-old feud with the Van Swift. This went on for years and years, however, a Diddleberry crossed the path of a Van Swift, or vice-a-versa. Another knot was added to the guns of Versa-Vica. Incidentally, folks, I play the part of Old Man Van Swift.  Yeah, maybe you can get Edwin C. Hill to play it. Well, the more hills the merrier. Let's get ready. Don, play something while we put on our boots, you know. That was a Hill Billy Medley played by Don Vester and his mountaineers. Your ears aren't so small either. Don, you don't. You don't get the thought, Donald. And now for our dramatic offering, the Hills of Old Kentucky, or Indiana, or any place. Curtain, music, Don.  And did she slip, she didn't, cause her tires were non-skitten. And that's a general idea. Besides, I'm a tire to live in the New Year Hills. I don't see why we can't move to Louisville or Parris. Parris, Frank? Where's Cannes-Tuckers? Why don't we move on out of here, Pappy? Someday, Alvireys, but not until the last for them Diddle Berries are gone. Well, all I can say is these hills are pretty terrible for French hills, too. But we can't leave Alvireys, not until those Diddle Berries are wiped out. Gee, Pappy, what do they all do to us? It's not blackface, Mary Hillbilly. Gee, Pappy, what do they do to us? A long, long story. Much before your time, doctor, was way back in 1830 when the first Diddle Berry family moved to these parts and annoyed Wee Un. What? Wee Un. That's where Van Swift were here first, headed by your great-great-grandpappy, old Lemuel Van Swift. Well, one day old Lim caught high Diddle Berry a cheatin' at Solitaire. And that was the beginning of the fuse. And it's been a goin' on ever since. There are only five of us left and two of them, so you can see it's pretty even. Nye ain't a goin' to leave here till every Diddle Berry is buried. I reckon that's a pretty long time to carry a grudge a hundred years. Shucks Alvire, that ain't nothin'. We hate people up here in these hills for no reason at all. It's just a racket. Well, Pappy, I reckon I'm a goin' to skip down a village now and see a picture picture. Yeah, what picture is goin' down there this week? Francis X Bushman. Well, it's about time they gave us some of that new stuff. You better be careful, Pappy, while I'm a goner. The Diddle Berry will get you. They better be careful. Goodbye, Alvire. Goodbye, Pappy. And don't take any lead bullets. He came rollin' down the mountain. He came rollin' down the mountain. Who's that? It's me, Lim. Come on in. Well, if it ain't Zeke Bester. What are you doin' here, Zeke? I'm a mountain William, too. A mountain William? You mean a hillbilly, don't you, son? Yeah, if you want to use slang. You ought to wear boots with that full dress suit, Zeke. Well, I didn't know I was comin' here. Say, Zeke, you never met my old woman, have you? No. Well, I want you to meet her. She's Annie. Annie wants you to meet Zeke Bester. Well, I have to know you.  I don't want anything to eat. Well, you look hungry. Don't mind her, Zeke. She's always a clownant.  What's the matter, Alvire? I was climbing up the hill and one of them Diddle Berry stopped me. What did he say, gal? He said you wasn't set to sleep with your pigs. He did, eh? And what did you tell him?  And he wouldn't believe you, eh? Give him our rifle. I'll show him what a Diddle Berry can install a van quid. Well, Cappy, don't. They're meaner than skunks. And trickier. Yes, Cappy.  Not to me, eh? Out of my way, Alvire. There they are, now us sittin' on their porch. The rats take that, ya skunk. Quick, away from that window, gal. They might return us. They did. Alvire, hop on that old mare, right in the town, get the rest of us van quid. The horse is gone already. Get the next one in the town. Wait a minute, drummer. Give her a chance to get on the horse. Okay. Goodbye, Cappy. It's a fine way to advertise General Tires. Here's the Q-guard that window. Wherever you see a Diddle Berry fire. Duck's limb. Well, it was an old hat, anyway. Must be Alvire, ya comin' back with the boy. Here they are, Cappy. Luke Clammin' Zim. Where's Clam? He joined the Diddle Berries. He must be payin' him more money. Come on in, boys. Hi, Lim. What's all the ruckus goin' around around here? What's the matter, Lim? Pute is on again, boys. There are five of us van-swipped here, and we can whip him. But we gotta stick together.  Yeah, we'll start. Hey, Annie, fry five eggs. Five eggs comin' up. Make that four eggs, Annie. Well, there are only four of us van-swipped left, and we gotta stick together. Watch that window, Clam. Luke, you guard that door. And if you want me, I'll be in Kansas City. Three eggs, Annie. Well, there are three of us left, and we gotta stick together. How do you watch those eggs? On toast. Make it two. All right, Clam. You and I are left all alone now, and we gotta stick together. You said it, Cappy. Oh! Well, it looks as though I'll have to eat alone. Oh, they got me, Pappy. They got me. So long, Clam. And don't worry about it. I don't mind us goin', Pappy. There's only one thing I'll regret. What's that, son? That I wasn't blow-off proof like the General Tire. Oh, Pappy.  I'll show him a shootin' down all my tin. High Lemuel Vance Whiff has gotta stick together. Oh, yes, Annie. One egg. Annie doesn't live here anymore. Dump-da-dee-da-dump-da-dump-da-dump. Ooh, they got me. Pappy. Pappy. I'm a-goin', Elvire. I'm a-goin'. Don't worry, Pappy. I'll eat the egg. General, with the new Silent Safety Tread, is America's smartest tire. They have the final touch of style to any car. Your new car deserves the best, though. Why not let the General Tire dealer arrange to put blow-off proof generals on your new car? The additional cost is slight. You'll enjoy that feeling of security no matter how fast you drive. Remember, General is the patented blow-off proof tire and is sold only by the General Tire dealer. If you're looking for real bargains, you'll find them there, too. Next, full of new and used tires that have been exchanged for blow-off proof generals. The last number of the fifth program is the new General Tire series.  I'm thinking of feud. There are very few automobile owners who will not agree that the General blow-off proof tire is the best that money can buy. Can buy them at their own General's? Yes, thank you, Jack. You're welcome, Don. I'm hungry. Good night, folks. This is Don Wilson. This is the nice little broadcasting company.
