Now, let us look at how the self-management is connected with career management. To understand the linkage between self-management and career management, the competency framework or 21st century competencies list is an excellent window. So, this research was conducted by Boyd's and it was followed by many other follow-up studies. What they communicate is that there are three clusters of competencies which are must, which are required for professional success without which you are not even in the game. But these competencies are not the determinants of the success or not determinant of the outstanding performance. They are not the determinant of differentiating the average performers from the better performers or good performers at work place. Those competencies which are minimally required, which are minimal requirement to be in the profession are expertise and experience. If I am a software engineer, if I need to work on the visual basic or Java, I must know that language. I must know it technically. Second component is knowledge. Knowledge is different from skill. Knowledge is different from expertise. Knowledge is much more broad based. Knowledge is about not only what is the Java language, but it also about where to use, which module to be used for which product, how to convey your idea, what is the procedure of doing things in the organization, what is my declarative knowledge which I have certificates about and my ability to look at the pattern how my knowledge is connected to the other fields. These are, this is called knowledge which is different from having a specific skill. Then assortment of the basic cognitive abilities, like I should have a sufficiently strong functional memory. I should be able to understand the reasoning, logic. These are the threshold competencies. If they are not there, I am not even in the game. I will not even get selected for a job. But what distinguishes growth in any career are some other set of competencies and those competencies are classified in cognitive, emotional and social intelligence category. Cognitive intelligence category or cognitive competencies which are the differentiator are not about just basic cognitive competencies which we just discussed by now. This new 21st century cognitive competencies are systems thinking and pattern recognition, pattern recognition. Systems thinking meaning our ability to recognize how one variable in a situation or in a problem is connected to other variable and other variables how it is not by looking at just impact of one variable over other I can understand a phenomenon. I need to look at, I need to first of all recognize that there are no straight cause and effect to variables found in the nature. Everything is affected by everything else. Large number of factors affect each of the factors. So, our ability should be to look at sufficient number of variables look at the pattern how they are affecting each other and what is the system boundary because if we look at the universalistic perspective everything is connected to everything else. So, where we have to stop. So, we need to stop where it is meaningful to make some difference to a context to a identifiable context that is systems thinking. My ability to look at things look at phenomena not as the impact of one thing over other, but look at phenomena as the constellation of variables as the constellation of multiple forces operating each other operating and influencing each other. Second category of competencies which are 21st century competencies are emotional intelligence competencies. This emotional intelligence competency is about being aware of my own emotions, being aware of others emotions self-awareness. Also our ability to manage our emotions and ability to carry out conversations which can help others emotions as well. As in the neuro-linguistic programming they say feel the feeling and choose the action, the choice the choose the action part is of the mind of the brain of the intellect and feel the feeling is about the making sense and giving proper name to the to my senses and to my feelings. This is very important to establish a long-term relationship very important to strike a conversation very important to hold a meaningful conversation with others. Because in the conversation there will always be a dynamics there might be disagreement, there might be some arguments, there might be different perspective towards all these different perspective or different take. We should be able to maintain our emotional count then only we can find a common ground to take ahead my work. So, emotional intelligence is very important. Social intelligence that is also arising from the emotional intelligence and systems thinking that is the third category of the competencies which are identified as the 21st century competency. Social intelligence is being aware of the social awareness. Social intelligence is about social awareness. It is about relationship of management competencies, empathy, teamwork, looking at the impact of business on society, looking at the interaction of the regulatory factor, social factors, religious factors, their effect on each other, identifying the right narrative, ability to communicate with the masses. Because with the help of social media we have got the power of communicating with large number of people at the same time. And that kind of communication requires very good understanding of the social reality. We all are living in a world where reality is actually socially constructed. Different people naturally have different ways of looking at things. In this world which is inherently socially constructed which is result of the selective perceptions and priorities of different people, how do I communicate with large number of people is a very critical competency. And that is identified as the differentiator of average performer to a good performer. If we look at all these competencies, what do we see? We see that these competencies cannot be developed as passive learners. These require deep self-engagement. These are not like learning simple mathematics. This is also not like learning simple programming or learning any type of programming. Because in the programming you have a logical sequence which is pre-identified. In the mathematics there is a logical steps which are pre-identified. But these competencies cannot be exercised by pre-identified programs. These can be demonstrated by constant practice. And there is always a novelty in a social situation. There is always a novelty in the personal interaction. So, we have to be conscious in observing and building on these competencies. That is why that requires deep self-awareness and all these are linked with self-management. If I am not able to manage my mind, if I am not able to manage my emotions, if I am not able to build my cognitive abilities, if I am not able to enhance my metacognitive ability, meaning my ability to see the pattern, my ability to see how life situations are deeply interconnected and over the period they play out in a distinct way. If I am not able to look at the long term, cannot have the long term and short term perspective and if I cannot distinguish these, I am not able to build my career and build my life. And in the framework of the competencies which are required in the 21st century, we can see there is a deep connection of career success and life success. And that is why these two things merge here. Interestingly, self-management research, though we are having this course for the general, so though we are having this course for students and learners from any stream, most of the research in the self-management happened in the medical field about and that is related to disease management. What was found in the medical sciences that self-management is a very important component of the cure of the patient. Patient has to be involved in the treatment and the process of cure and self-management because that is required for the patient to follow the protocol, to follow the exercise, to follow the instruction given by the doctor, taking the medicine on time, taking all the treatment on time as per the instructions of the doctor, all that is required and that is possible only with the self-management. So, doctors cannot believe that if they can treat the patient, patient has to take charge of things and he or she has to indulge into self-management, sorry, here he has to do the self-management. And in the medical science, problem solving, decision making, resource utilization, formation of the partnership, action planning and self-tailoring, all these things are identified as the component of the self-management research in the medical sciences. If I remove the medical sciences from the title of this slide and if we look at these factors, aren't these factors relevant in engineering, management, social sciences, economics or any field or in any profession? Problem solving is required, situations are emerging, new technology, new factors are resulting into very different kinds of situations regularly, person has to be good at solving problems. They have to make decisions. We looked at in the knowledge, knowledge workers related decision that knowledge workers now have got great autonomy and great power. Autonomy of autonomy because they have got the training and power because technology has become such that one person can influence a large number of data or large number of processes. Very highly impactful processes can be managed by one person and new things keep emerging that requires decision making, resource utilization. It is not only sufficient to have the technical resources, person has to be resourceful psychologically, person should be able to look at the available resources, discover the available resources, whether it is human resource, technological resource because nowadays resources are all much more abundant as they were before. Knowledge is abundant, technological insights are abundant, much more abundant than in the previous times, thanks to internet, thanks to internet of things, thanks to great globe, the force of globalization. So, person has to be conscious about acquiring resources, utilizing resources, identifying the resources, able to build a partnership. It is very important in the gig economy, it is important in the knowledge economy. If I am able to build a partnership, then only I can provide the great experience and opportunity to the customer to transform the service. So, building large long-term relationship, building partnership is very important capability in the current times to be successful in any profession. Action planning, in the dynamic situation, I need to look at my own target, I need to fix my own target, knowledge worker have to work on their own plan, they have to work out their own strategy in their vicinity, use their resources and they have to keep indulging into self-tailoring. Because many different compositions and patterns are possibly emerge at workplace. Because of the abundant resources, knowledge, opportunities, ability to interact with large number of people across the world, we can tailor the offerings whether it is service or product and of course, we can tailor the experience associated with that product and service. So, all these six factors which were first discussed in the medical science seems to be very relevant in any other field when we look at the self-management and self-management lead to self-efficacy. So, we need to reflect upon self, we need to look at self in more detail so that we can not only manage it, but also enjoy that.


Writing is crystallized thinking. There are many writers who subjectively report that the best time they can find for writing is early in the morning and also that reflection comes with the night. And sometimes inspiration might strike. You might feel in the zone, you might want to take your phone out or jump into your computer chair and start writing right away. You have that momentum going and everything else works seamlessly. But momentum is not necessarily about the volume of work but more about the pace and the rhythm of the work. You can spend your day jumping from email to email, micro task to micro task and end the day feeling less productive going into the next day without momentum.  Writing the wave of your interests and hobbies. And the first tactic I use to build momentum is writing straight up on a blank piece of paper each morning. And the industry calls this morning pages, essentially three pages of long hand stream of consciousness writing down first thing in the morning. And they say that there's no right way or wrong way to do it, which is why I don't buy myself this three pages structure. For myself, there's no number attached to it. I can even write one sentence and I'm okay with it. But what I'll do is face the blank sheet and start writing random things all over the place. And oftentimes one will find a few gems, thoughts that you repressed, maybe influences dubious ideas, beliefs, impressions, and while these might not hold much weight, I would want to face them on a sheet of paper and see and check if indeed they matter or not. And again, writing is crystallized thinking. Downloading information straight from your brain onto this piece of technology we call paper is a process that involves the whole body. As your mind is the engine creating all of it and your hands are the transmission cords that can make sure you can physically see your thoughts. And I view it as a filtering system. I'm imagining that my brain, even though it was sleep, was up all night doing his own thing without me actively knowing what's happening. And this can come in as dreams, micro thoughts and, you know, body variations. I find that being incapacitated for eight plus hours will eventually require some debriefing sessions with myself, as I kind of need to take care and understand what happened, also process it all along. And this is why taking out my nightly unconscious thoughts in the morning on a piece of paper can be a helpful exercise. And again, those can be leftover thoughts I had during the day or maybe during the week and even going further, you know, throughout the last couple of months and even years. Now, another thing I'm doing to build that writing momentum going is to just progress on something that's meaningful to me on a macro level every single day. And I'm doing this by taking care of the micro, either that being writing for my website, constructing my educational assets, gathering and organizing the resources I consumed, writing for my weekly newsletter, hashtag shameless plug, continuing where I left yesterday or simply hiding up unfinished work and reducing friction is oftentimes the thing we neglect. Taking care of your environmental design is also a cool experiment you can try out that can encourage your ability to produce and designing your control center or your cockpit in such a way that is going to be easy for you to start writing can be the first important step, seeing your morning pages journal on your desk and not hiding it in a back of a drawer, making sure you have a centralized workspace to perform your writing that's similar in flavor and can be accessed anywhere, such as Notion, Rome, Evernote, or the plain old journal can be a great support structure for creative endeavors. And the question I often ask myself is how can I find my peak product in the time I peak performance time? When and where am I usually in the zone of momentum? And how can I create more of that during my week? And again, I found that this works best for me in the morning. And obviously you can reorganize this and apply it to your own physical and mental workflow. And when the monkey mind comes in late at night, you will know that you actually took a ride on the momentum train and you will still be able to do it tomorrow. Now, leaving something unfinished is another thing I will do on purpose so that I can have something to look forward to tomorrow. And this is an easy way to regain that momentum next day. The next day you can read the stuff you wrote out the previous day, possibly adjusting it, touching the pen or the keyboard, involving yourself in the project once again. And combining this with reflection time that's usually happening during the evening hours can be indeed the killer combo. I can either span the evening reflecting on what I've done that day or simply shutting my brain off and letting do the work unconsciously. Now, during the reflection time, you can use your morning pages and either perform a full brain dump as you did in the morning or come up with a more structured way to look at your day. This is actually your choice, but what I would sometimes do is create a nightly note card where I would plainly outline the things I want to do tomorrow in a three-bullet format and also write up a few sentences about my day. And sometimes I might prioritize creating a structure in this extended version of the morning pages, but most of the times is just like pretty random. It's again, brain vomiting on a piece of paper night, the same thing I did in the morning, but sort of also trying to outline a few next steps for tomorrow. In this three-bullet format, and I found that the three-bullet format works best for me, you can do two bullets, five bullets, ten bullets, however you want really. But again, this can come in as a support structure for your next day. And doing this for the first time is actually going to be overwhelming at first, but you are also going to write quite a lot, as you would probably have plenty of unprocessed stuff running in your mental engine, and you will start writing and continuing to take it out. Now finding momentum and beats you can follow during the day, like a melody invading your mental space and really interacting with that melody, slightly adjusting your rhythm along the way while not falling off of it, the microactions you perform combined with reflection time, taking all of that and applying it to any of your projects, either being writing, coding, drawing, researching, or any other thing you might be interested in, can be a great kit of tools that will keep you moving forward.


True story and back on my Honda Accord when OJ caught that case they wrote. What would you do in the back of my car?  I Think I want to I want to go back to Trady. I didn't get that out of you about him and snoops fall out and right You know just them basically Then it's his place getting shot up shot up I need some what was going on at that time and if he was with you I mean Trady basically you say they all came y'all I would be like family How did they end up falling out?

Yeah, that was with you though That's my let me tell you something me True story and back in my Honda Accord when OJ cut that case they wrote What would you do in the back of my car? They were they were they were right in my back of my car Rolling and they what would you do and they coming up with a song and I said my Honda Accord and OJ inspired that song What would you do? Don't that's dope.   I think It was one of the songs and I remember he's it was like everybody was there And it was just it wasn't singing but it was just talking and it was it was a whole bunch of people And I remember I added my little thing. I never really heard it, but you know He was in the mix that dog food I went crazy man. That was the whoo. That's when it took off I'm like the sky was the limit. It was almost like Like Snoop Dogg was Snoop Dogg's album called that was doggy style But dog after dog style that was after doggy style and that whole went crazy It was actually to me. I liked it better than dog Project cuz it seemed like Snoop got to do what he wanted to do it seemed like family. Am I right? Yeah, that's put his foot in there and he did his thing corrupt It was family oriented traveling they got their own little promotional tours. It was about them


And how does sort of someone was talking to John Singh earlier and he was talking about there's a set of investments that companies are making on you know managing 30% more capacity every year 20% more efficiently because that budgets getting squeezed. So in terms of sort of these this approach are we focused on that 30% growth at 20% less cost kind of sector or are we focusing some of that on some of the faster growing areas where we've got explosive. Yeah I mean it's a combination of going after new opportunities where performance is important but clearly in fact I think it was Wikibon who said by 2013 70% of the IT spend is going to be on the management of the IT. So that's still a very important aspect we have to deal with. The budgets are not growing at the rate and pace that data is growing at so we have to solve both of those problems at once go after new opportunities that may be performance based may be capacity based but we fully understand that if we don't help our clients solve the challenges around the efficiency and being able to optimize these environments so they're not having to try to spend at that same rate as the capacity growth we and our clients won't be successful.


Remember, a hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. It is chosen by one of the world's best known artists. Tonight on our hallmark playhouse we dramatize a fine adventure story, the author of which bears an honored name indeed, Winston Churchill. But this Mr. Churchill was an American born in Missouri some 80 years ago, and certainly one of the most celebrated and popular of America's historical novelists. The story of his we've chosen for tonight is Richard Carville, and the period is that of the American Revolution. Perhaps the brave days of old seem never so brave as they do today amidst the tensions of our own worldwide problems. And for this reason I think you'll enjoy Richard Carville as an excitingly imagined episode in the great story of America. And now a word about hallmark cards from Frank Goss, before we begin the first act of Richard Carville, starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Hallmark cards have a magic carpet quality about them. They take you visiting, however great the distance, to help celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a holiday, or just any day when you're thinking of someone. There is a quality about hallmark cards that whispers good taste, and you'll send them with pride for that identifying hallmark on the back adds meaning. It says you cared enough to send the very best. Now hallmark playhouse presenting Winston Churchill's Richard Carville, starring Douglas Fairbanks. The revolution was at its height in 1778, when the ill-fitted American frigate Bonhomme Richard cited the British man of war, Syrapus, with her great batterers of guns, and a mighty cheer burst from the ragged crew of the Bonhomme Richard. Who were they to fight the bold and sinew of the King's Navy and a creaking ship of an age gone by? And who was this Captain John Paul Jones standing so straight on the quarter-deck to inspire his men with love and worship ever to blind them to such odds? But the bosons piped and sang out the command, the drums beat the long roll, and the pipes whistled their courage. And at his station in command of a battery of guns stood Lieutenant Richard Carville, and as often happens at a moment of stress, into his mind came thoughts of thought. Choose a side and stand arrayed in his own colors. It is not for me to shape your way of thinking. Decide in your own mind that which is right. And when you've decided, know then that God is with you, and swerve not from thy course even the width of your sword, for any man. Decide your course. General Washington uttered those words, and I've never forgotten them. How well I recall that afternoon when I was confronted by my grandfather, whom I adored, and my Uncle Grafton, whom I detested. Richard, it has come to my knowledge that last night you fought a duel with Lord Coomin, a man who has been your friend. Is this the truth? Yes, Grandfather. I am told that you had the opportunity to kill him, but instead chose to be wounded yourself. That is true, sir. Richard, committed treason against his Majesty the King. By your rest is you brought ridicule and reproach from the family whose loyalty is hitherto been unstained. I believe, Uncle Grafton, that I am as able as any man to care for the Carville honor. You attacked Lord Coomin because he stated that the hotheads and the rebels here in the colony should be stamped out because they were traitors to his Majesty the King. I deny that if you will. I do. Ah, dear Grafton, I told you Richard was loyal to the Crown. One moment, sir. I took exception to that remark made by a visitor who didn't have the courage to back his insulting words with a sword. Lord Coomin from shame defended his countrymen. Richard. I've never deceived you, Grandfather, and will not now hide from you that I believe the colonies, loyal as they are, to have a just cause against his Majesty and the Parliament. But, but we're all English. We came from England. You were born there, Richard. I'm aware of that, sir. I have great love and affection for the mother country, but I believe in freedom for America, too. The Carville against the King? The Carvilles ever did what they believed right, sir. You would not have me go against my conscience. But my tongue and the tongue of other patriots would not be stilled. This and my Uncle Drafton who resented me as heir apparent of my grandfather were the dark shadows of my life. As for the light, there was Donny Manners who could be willful and cruel, laughing and forgiving, shy or impudent, in a breath. She was as beautiful as a rose that blooms in the night. I loved her deeply, but she was a will of the wisp and I could never feel sure she returned my affection. We saw each other again at a party given in her honor. Tonight, Rahit, I'm in a holiday humor. You sound reckless rather than merry. Are you not happy?  Why do you ask? Because somehow I believe you're not, dolly. You and I are here together. Could I wish for more? I'm as happy as you. That may well be, for I might be happier. I believe this is my dance. Oh, let's not dance. Remember when we were children, the place I used to play fairy godmother and wind flowers into my hair. Into the garden. As melodic amounts. I miss you terribly. Papar has decided that we sail next week for home. Home? England? I'm going to make my bow to royalty. Your majesty? This is Miss Mamas of the province of Maryland. You're really glad to go, aren't you? And why not? I shall see the world and meet people of consequence. So you're going to England to meet people of consequence. Don't you believe there are people here in the colonies who amount to anything? Haven't you ever heard of Benjamin Franklin of Patrick Henry or Mr. Adams of Colonel Washington? Oh, how provincial you are, Richard. And I thought perhaps I counted in your life. Oh, but you do. You're the first person I told. You should feel honoured, sir. You'll write me, won't you? Yes, but first I'll have to become a man of consequence.  I doubt upon seeing you in a temper. I'll stir the flame a bit more by telling you Jack Comner's returning to England. And on the same boat. Don't leave. Oh, so you are jealous? No, I mean... Well, just what do you mean, Richard? Well, it'd be too presumptuous to ask you... How can I hope that you would... You've always said you'd marry an Earl, darling. I believe you will. Indeed. Well, at least in England there are so many Earl's to choose from. Gallant men all deal with smooth compliments, smooth manners, not anything like you. I... I see. Do you? You're big, and honest, and clumsy, and... And what, darling?  But I'll miss you more than anyone else I know. Now take me back, sir. Did she dame to write me? And I didn't write. I tried and failed. And then I tried to forget. The 2nd Virginia Convention of Delegates was to be in session, March 23rd, 1775. It was to be the prelude to the life story of our country, and I was to be a delegate. But I never arrived. The route I was felled from behind with a mighty blow of a sword. I came to my wits to find myself aboard a filthy slave ship, and performed as to the grotesque figure of a man, Captain Griggs. So you're risen from the dead, my fine buckle. Why... Why was I brought here?  And I'd be paid more when he inherits the old buckle's fortune. Yes, it's a fine deal I made money to boot. But, Harkie, I'll stand by half my bargain. But if you ever reach Maryland alive, may they hang me to a yard arm. What's our destination? Wherever there's bounty. By the black flag with skull and crossbows, and by the ghost. You'll earn your keep here. Soon I was made aware that when we arrived in the West Indies, I was to be sold as a plantation slave. Then suddenly an incident happened to drive all else out of my mind. A schooner was coming upon us, and her guns commenced firing, striking us broadsides. When later I was fished out of the water and brought aboard the schooner, Ruth, I was met by its captain. Captain John Paul Jones, the wonderful Scotsman. Now, by St. Andrew. Now you can't be a pirate. Neither, Captain, but a young gentleman in misfortune. It's top yard. Your servant, Mr. A. Richard Carvel of Carvel Hall in his majesty's province of Maryland. You're very humble servant, Mr. Carvel. It is in faith that privilege is served, a gentleman. Captain, you are sailing eastward? Yes, yes. There is no chance of you touching in the colonies. No. Well, is your destination Scotland? No. I've renounced my country forevermore. May God forgive me for I love the land dearly. You renounced your country? May I ask why? Of course. Some of my countrymen who should be my oldest and best friends have become my enemies. They've rubbed me of my good name and my honor, and they are not yet content, so they rub me of my country. Which I hold dearer than permitted to return by law. I seek a home. And I shall find one. Oh, what of America, Captain? It's a land of opportunities. Why, any man with imagination, courage would be willing to fight forever. There's no limit how far he can go. I say, give it a try, Captain. Oh, I mind it elsewhere. My grandfather is rich and not lacking in gratitude. You, sir, whose bravery and charity will have restored me to him, shall not want for friends or money. Mr. Carver, reward is a thing that should not be spoken of between gentlemen. I'm sorry. My home will be in London. That's where I plan to become a gentleman. Become? Ah, eh? For I'm the son of a poor gardener.  There's no advantage in the world equal that of your fine gentleman. Surely you can't mean that. But I do, sir. Mark well when I see that my time will come, and a D when the best of them will bow to me. And that triumph shall be mine. I, every inch, pour incentives the most of the battle. I've missed him and this man and I dreamed of them. Here lay hid the very keynote of that ambitious character. He stooped to nothing less than greatness for a triumph over his slanderers. During the months, the following months, I learned to know him well. And finally, Captain John Paul Jones had discharged all his cargo. He headed his school here toward England and London, the place he had chosen to make his home. And where dolly manners held my heart ever so lightly in her hand. He turned to the second act of Richard Carvel starring Douglas Fairbanks. When he stopped to think about it, a greeting card is a pretty wonderful thing, for it can carry your very thoughts, your feelings to others better than you might be able to express them yourself. You know, the unusual fact about a greeting card is that you never buy it for yourself. You always buy it to send to someone else. This is why the makers of hallmark cards consider the words on every greeting card so very important. They are aware there is no magic like the magic of words to reach the hearts of others. What power words have to deepen the affection of those you care for, to heighten their happiness on festive occasions, to comfort them in sorrow, to strengthen ties of friendship, and what power words have to make new friends. For every person, for every occasion, you'll find hallmark cards to say just what you want to say, the way you want to say it. And every hallmark card will speak also of your own good taste by its perfection in every detail of color and design and craftsmanship. That's why I'm sure if you were to ask any group of friends what name they think of in greeting cards when they want to send the very best, they'll quickly answer hallmark cards. So, it's easy to remember, it would be difficult to forget. To look for that hallmark on the back of every card you choose, because you carry enough to send the very best. Now, back to James Hilton and the second act of Richard Carbell, starring Douglas Fairbanks. I'm excited deepened as the men of the Barnarm Richard waited fearlessly for the British man of war, Sirapis, to come within gun range. There was no sound except from time to time a mutter command. And as the Sirapis came closer and closer, the tension mounted, for soon Captain John Paul Jones would give the order to begin the action. At his gun post, Lieutenant Richard Carbell stared into the darkness, but his mind was still in the past. Approaching for the first time a huge city. Yes, here was London, great and pitiless. And for the three weeks we had been there, the fear of it was still upon our souls. Upon two points I was worried. Captain John Paul Jones' desire to meet persons of birth was near a mania with him. And I'd not the courage to dampen his spirits. The other, John Paul and I were faced with a prospect of a debtor prison because we could not pay our landlord. It was Lord Coleman who came to our rescue. What are you doing in this whole room? Money, your lordship, or the lack of it. How about you, Richard? 23 guineas, counting debts, board and interest. Very well, it should be taken care of. Now, pack up and we'll out of this curse at all. I've nothing to pack. But before we go a step, you must know the man, but for whose bravery I would not be here now. Lord Coleman, this is Captain John Paul Jones. Aye, sir, you shall not lack reward for this captain, I promise you. What you've done for Mr. Carbell, you've done for me. Captain, I thank you. You shall have me interest. I have sought no reward, my lord. Again, I believe you, captain, but you shall be rewarded, nevertheless. Be good enough, sir, to take this money and deliver it to the innkeeper, and we'll soon be on our way. One moment, if you please. Captain John Paul Jones is not a menial and errand boy. Never mind, Richard. I'll deliver the money, sir. You shouldn't have done that, Jack. You shouldn't have treated him in that manner. The devil is this John Paul Jones. What's to become of him? One hundred pounds or a thousand, if you like. And let him get out. He can't be coming to the clubs with you. You don't understand the man, Jack. What he has done for me is out of friendship. And he wouldn't touch a farthing, save what I owe him. A cursed of him isn't a rum, sea captain. Cursed if I ever ran far to one yet who would refuse a couple of hundred and call quits. What's he to do? Is he to live like a lord of the treasury upon a master's savings? Jack, I would willingly stay here in this whole of a room rather than desert him. And as soon as I can convince him that America is the place for him, we'll leave together. Oh, you must not leave England now. And why? Because Dolly Manners will marry Lord Chartersy if you do. Oh. Then take my word for it. You alone can save her from that nonsense. No, her father owes Chartersy a great deal of money, which he cannot pay. It's a question of honor with her. What about you? You're in love with her. Now, had she refused me fifty times instead of only twice, since she will not have me, I would rather it were you than any man alive, Richard. For she loves you as surely as the earth is turning.  It's true that she loved me. I wanted to go to her. But I was a sorry figure, scarcely a man of consequence. I had to be important in her eyes if no one else's. But at last I put aside my pride for I was, after all, a mere man very much. So you'll finally come to see me. Dolly. Dolly. Thank God you're alive.  This is worth it all, Dolly. But you've been here for three weeks. Why didn't you come to me when you were in trouble? In truth, I, I hunted your house for a sight of you from the moment I set foot in London. For a sight of me? And had you not strength enough to lift a knocker, sir? Oh, come now, who is the lady? There's only one lady in my life. Oh. And where is your captain? I shall bring him here, presently, to meet you. I hear he is very fanciful. There are not many born like him, a poor gardener's son, who will rise by character and ability to be a captain before the age of 30. And he's a gentleman, I say. Far above many I've known. And above all, he's a man. Oh, forgive me. Do you know why I came here today? Why? This isn't a game. We're, we're grown up now. I came here because I loved you. I always have. Why did you ever tell me? Why couldn't we always remain friends? Had I only foreseen, I should never have let you speak. You must have seen these years I've loved you. Nor could I have hidden it if I'd wished. But I, I have little to offer you.  Forgive me, darling, if you can. I, I didn't mean it. Nor do I presume to think you loved me. I have adored. I shall be content to adore you forever. And I came because, because I might save you if a danger threatened. Danger? Yes, from Lord Charter see you, who has a hold on your father. You cannot love him. Oh, please, Richard, you cannot love him. Oh, it's true, it's true. But what else is there for me to do? Surely if your father knew how you felt, he wouldn't permit it. He isn't that kind. No, Richard, no. We'll find a way, my darling. We will, I love you. And I love you. Darling, darling. Oh, my love, we must forget each other. If that is possible. If he hadn't had torn the past from me at a single stroke, I could not have forgotten. When I reached my lodging, as Captain Jones was waiting for me with an urgent message from Lord Crumb, he asked that I come to his club as soon as possible. I did not have the courage to tell the captain that he was not welcome, so I invited him along. News has reached us, they're done. About 1776, the colonists signed a declaration of independence. You know what that means, of course. Yes. Richard, this is Mr. Fox. We've met before. What deduces to be done to those unruly countrymen of yours, Mr. Carville? Defied now that we've taken off all the tax except the T. Well, you, who are a gentleman of our party, must lead a very sorry life among them. Tell me, it's not a question of T, sir. It's a question of principle, which means more to Englishmen than life itself. And we are, after all, Englishmen. Oh, I thought you came of a loyalist family, Mr. Carville. King George has no more loyal servants than the Americans, Mr. Fox, be they Tory or Whig. And he has but to read our petitions to discover it. I beg your pardon? Richard. No. See what you have to say to these gentlemen, Richard. Thank you, Captain Jones, sir. Do you know what you're doing to America? You're forcing home injustice and tyranny to the millions for the benefit of the thousands. For it is true, gentlemen, that the great masses of England are against the measures you impose on us. Their fight is our fight, things you taught us to believe in. Taxation without representation is true of your great cities here as well as of our vast colonies. You are helping the king to crush freedom abroad in order that he may more easily break it at home.  You call us rebels and accuse us of treachery. I tell you, we would give up all we own with the glory or honor of England at stake. If you wish money, leave the matter to our colonial assemblies and see how readily you'll get it. But instead, you've asked for war so that you can continue to grind the spirits from a people who have in them the pride of your ancestors. Yes, and we will fight you to the last man. You spoke your heart well, Ed. I'm going to America with you. This nation was on the other side of the Atlantic. As we crept into the darkness of the night, my heart was heavy for leaving England, meant leaving Dolly. Must a man forever have to choose between two loves? But then quite clearly and simply, I knew in my heart's heart that Dolly would wait for me. That somewhere after the sounds of guns and shouting had died away and the victory won, Dolly and I would be together. We couldn't be otherwise. His Majesty's Seraphis is within range. That's the word to begin the action, sir. Aye, aye, Captain. Come in, firing. The deck's on fire and there isn't enough room or enough surgeons to take care of the wounded below. And the Seraphis is preparing to ram us, Captain. Every man to his poster. In America, the great land it is today. They fought against tremendous odds and they won. Together to guard the heritage of freedom. Let us guard it well. James Hilton will return in a moment. When I was downtown today, I was surprised to see so many people busy making their Easter card selections. So I decided I'd better mention the subject tonight. I'm sure you'll want to shop early too. When you see the wonderful Hallmark Easter cards there are this year. All the loveliest flowers of springtime bloom on Hallmark cards. Crisp tulips, lilacs, sunny daffodils, delicate apple blossoms. Violets all glowing with color as precious if you just brought them in from the garden. You'll find cards that share the deep spirit you'll enjoy of Easter time. You'll find cards for children as light-hearted as their laughter. You'll find just the perfect card for each friend, each loved one to add the joy of your remembrance to their Easter day. To say just what you want to say. The way you want to say it. I'm sure people who started earlier than ever this year to buy their Easter cards so do stop in tomorrow at the friendly store where you'll find Hallmark cards while you have your choice of all the wonderful Hallmark Easter cards. Eventually, you'll want that Hallmark on the back of every card you choose to say you cared enough to send the very best. Here again is James Hilton. You brought adventure into our lives tonight, Douglas Webbanks. Our thanks to you for making a stirring period of history so real to us. Well, it was very real to me too, Mr. Hilton. But that seems to be characteristic of the stories you choose for Hallmark Playhouse. They have a... well, you might call it sincerity. You couldn't say anything we'd rather hear. And that's what I like about Hallmark cards, that same sincerity. They say what people really feel. By the way, the Motion Picture Academy Awards presentation starts in a half hour's time. I understand you're distributing the writing awards. Yes, and it should be a very exciting occasion. I must say I'm glad it's just across the street from here, aren't you? But before we hurry over, I want to tell you what we're doing on our Playhouse next week. We shall present a true story called Pioneer Preacher by Opal Father and the exciting part. He and his family played in helping to settle the West. Our star will be Charles Bitfoot. Our Hallmark Playhouse is every Thursday. Our director-producer is Bill Gay. Our music tonight was composed by Frederick Steiner and conducted by Lynn Murray, and our script tonight was adapted by Jack Rubin. Until next Thursday then, this is James Hilton saying, good night. Remember Hallmark cards when you carry enough to send the very best. Mr. Fairbanks will soon be seen as a secret. This is Frank Goss saying good night to you all until next week at the same time. When James Hilton returns to present Charles Bitfoot in Opal Lee Berryman's Pioneer Preacher in the week following Anne Glythe and Margaret E. Sankster's The Arbutus Bonnet, and the week after that, James Hilton's Appassionata on the Hallmark Playhouse. This is KMBC, Kansas City, Missouri.

So now you have already learned how to add citations to your Zotero library as you do your research and we are going to go over the really exciting part now, which is automatically creating a bibliography when you write your papers. So to begin with, I'm going to go into my Zotero library, and I'm going to select the collection that has the citations in it that I'm going to be using. So in this case, it's my neuron development folder. That's just going to make it a little bit easier to find the citations as I write this paper. Now you can use Zotero with either Microsoft Word or Google Docs. It automatically installed into these platforms when you downloaded the Zotero desktop application. So in Microsoft Word, I now see the Zotero ribbon and as I write sentences, when I get to the end where I'm adding the citations, I simply click this add edit citation button and I'll see the Zotero ribbon show up. You can look for citations by either title, author, even keyword. So here I'm going to just write neuron and I see a couple of different items show up that were in that neuron development folder that I already selected. Now I'm actually going to add a couple of citations here and I simply hit enter. And now my in-text citation is there. So I'm going to go ahead, write my paper, add the citations as I go in this way, and then when I get to the end, all I have to do to add the bibliography is click on this button here, and the bibliography is going to automatically appear. So you can imagine if you have, you know, 30, 40 references, this is just going to be so much faster. Now let's say that this is actually not the format that your professor wants your references in. You can easily change the format by going to document preferences and here we have all the common citation styles. Here I'm going to change it to cell and you'll see that the formatting automatically changes. So I'm sure you'll find this very useful and much more efficient as you work on your projects and papers while you're at CMU and even after your time at CMU.


What did I do to be born into this racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic country? You should just get rid of capitalism and become like Communist China. Wow, nine months pregnant today. Ooh, I should really be scheduling my abortion at Planned Parenthood. Now which of these is better to go out rioting and looting today? They doesn't have a gender. They is 11 months old. They can choose for themselves their gender. Haven't stepped foot outside this house in 14 months. Nope, today's not the day. Too scared. So the Los Angeles Times reported that traditional masculinity is officially labeled harmful by the American Psychological Association.  What happened to real men? What happened to men who were the heads of the household back in the 50s and the 60s?  We're tired of seeing these beta males walking around acting so sensitive towards everything. It's ridiculous. Traditional masculinity needs to come back. It is not harmful. Real women like real men.  Am I a feminist? No. No, I am not a feminist. I am a feminine woman. What's the difference? Well, this is my take on it. Maybe I'm right. Maybe I'm wrong. Comment in the comments. Well, a feminist hates men.  And they're ugly from the inside out. Whereas feminine women respect men, admire men, collaborate with men and are confident that their feminine grace can be an asset to men. They're not threatened or intimidated by men because they have no desire to be men. They are happy being women and they know exactly what to bring to the table. I have a quick question for you guys. Do you think women are killing chivalry? Absolutely. And I think that it starts with feminism and how feminism truly masculinizes women and has thrown off these kinds of masculine feminine polarities between the sexes. The more and more women have trended towards independence, I don't need no man. The less a man is inspired to be chivalrous and take care of women the way that they used to because we don't need it. So the polarity is shifted and then added to that the amount of men that I've dated that have commented that they get snapped at for doing chivalrous things for their dates, like holding the door open or pulling a chair out. Like now the men are scared to do those things because they don't know how we're going to react. They don't know kind of where we sit. So it's a mess and we've done it to ourselves. Only fans came out as a subscription based platform for exclusive content like video game streaming.  And that didn't happen. And now it's a mistake because you put your hoo-ha on the internet and now you made $30 a month and now you regret it. Only fans did not put up a billboard saying do this and you're going to make money. You guys saw it as an opportunity and now are upset with yourselves. Notice how only fans wanted to take down adult content because they don't want to be known for that. The girls claiming it's a mistake are the ones that failed at it. And now you're upset because you can't hide it from future employers.  We want gender equality for all genders except for men. Women have the right to be anything they want except to stay at home mom. It's my body so it's my choice unless you need to wear a mask. We have the right to freedom of speech unless you're a conservative. The father has no say unless it's to provide financial support. Smell that? I smell hypocrisy!    You're ugly.   We're inclusive here on my page. Women are not the only people who give birth. Riddle me this then. You guys say that men have no rights to reproductive health and abortion, but since men can give birth shouldn't they have rights to reproductive health and abortion, or is that still a no? Alright, today we're going to talk about modern-name feminism. I'm sick and tired of hearing females deeming men inferior to us. They're not, honestly, half the stuff that we would like to do, we will never be able to do. No matter how much you want to praise that we are capable of doing everything from now. Biology 101, look it up. On top of that, if I hear another woman say that men aren't crap, get out of here with that statement. You're just putting down a whole group of people. How would you like it if they did that to you guys? You wouldn't. Also, the standards that we hold for men when it comes down to dating, let's be honest with what this, as a female, you wouldn't even be able to achieve those standards that you're holding for men. Let's knock this modern-day feminism out of the, just out. Because it is toxic for today's society, especially for men.  That's beautiful, Katie. It's funny, I've said multiple times on my TikTok account that I love being the one that does all the cooking and all of the cleaning. It makes me happy, it brings me joy, it's what works for me and my family. But I still have people in my comments and in my DMs, hundreds of people telling me how sad my life is. I've amounted to nothing, I'm putting women back years and years and how oppressed I am. And I click on these women's or men's profile and their bio always says feminist. And it just, it makes me laugh. Because I thought feminists supported all women. But I'm learning through the hundreds of comments and messages, but that's not true at all. So hi, my name is Madison, I got engaged at 18, married at 19, got pregnant at 20, gave birth at 21, and I'm currently pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen with my second. So stay mad. What should I be embarrassed about? The fact that I have sat there and seen the gender bias firsthand in multiple courtrooms against fathers, not just my fiente, I'm not just the new supply.  And no, I'm not embarrassed for standing up for fathers. You should be embarrassed yourself for thinking the way that you think. Kids are 50% of each parent. You should not be up to a mom or a judge to take children away from their parents unless there is proven abuse and proven neglect, not just what mom says. She needs to have proof. Period. I'm not embarrassed because of what I speak about. You might be. Okay, what's something that's not a call? What seems like a call? Modern feminism. Y'all are really out here screaming that men have more rights than us, but like, what can they do that we can't? Like, I want you to give me a list. I need a list.   And just to prove my point, my husband and I both, we both work our asses off for the money that we make. We are in the same industry. We do a lot of the same stuff in the same field of work. But guess who makes more money? Can you undertake a guess? It's me. I do. And that's not me coming from my husband. I actually think he should make more money for how much work he does. Also, if a man compliments you or holds the door open for you, it's not sexist.  Say thank you.  So that makes you a cult to me. If you still think that the entertainment industry is not trying to indoctrinate your kids, take a look at this clip from Disney Plus' new show, Diary of a Future President. Let's run through why crime feminism happened already. Some would say I had it all. An orange grove and a family. But they don't know what I really craved is sweet. And it doesn't stop there. The female characters in the show replace words like hero and history with shero and herstory.  This goes to show that the forefront of the cultural battle we're experiencing right now is actually children. And there's an entire group of people that is willing to indoctrinate them through children's programming. Teaching young women that they are oppressed and living in a patriarchy where they cannot be successful. I got a lot of comments like this. Basically just saying that the reason that the US education is so bad is because of lack of funding, which could not be further from the truth and just goes to show how little people actually know about this topic. Okay, so if you count for inflation, per pupil spending in the US has increased by almost 300% since 1950, with New York spending the most on education. And even globally, the US is in the top five when it comes to peer pupil spending. The majority of funding for education comes from the states, not from the federal government. Only like 7% comes from the federal government. Now this is great because it allows us to compare the funding and the results between the states. Even though New York spends proportionately more per student. Where students only perform just under the national average. More funding does not directly lead to higher student achievement. Did you know that the United States is home to 90% of the world's flushable toilets? That's right.  Because these luxuries only happen in capitalist nations. Did you guys hear that Nancy Pelosi is about to retire in of all places? Florida. It's just ironic to me. Because she's contributing to eradicating the rights of so many here in America. And she's just to go live in a Republican state. She will enjoy low taxes and mask free just about nonexistent COVID restrictions. Interesting.
