The other side of town well that's why it's taken so long you bet it is I tell you Jerry we like these performances better than the regular show just you wait you see those kids I tell you break your heart you've been out here before sure every time we hit this town mean every year you play this town you go out of this children's hospital and give them a show you've been doing it for years we look forward to it well how do you ever happen to think of it well I didn't Jack Hastings the publicity man got the idea you see he discovered there was a kid's hospital in this town and he suggested playing it well just for a publicity stunt really yeah he figured we'd get lots of free publicity in the paper and everything well did you all say we did it was the best publicity stunt we'd pulled in years well do you still get publicity no only a line of truth doesn't mean anything anymore you know the first time it's new after that it doesn't interest the public and what is Mr. Randall got all this trouble coming it's my nice you bet it's nice but you waited to see those kids faces and then you'll know why every time we play they stand we give a performance for these children it must cost something fierce paying for this big bus to get us across town and everything well sure it does but he likes to do it the rest of us like to put on a show for those poor kiddie they look forward every year to when this circus comes to town and looks like we're almost there hey Jason fun says we're most there I'm counting on you to help me with fuzzy's crate Jerry sure thing as soon as we stop he why isn't Jason been out of before it couldn't very well bring his big lions out of the hospital ground and this is the first year he's had a cub line to work golly then then maybe some of those kids never saw a line huh why lots of you see Jerry this is a kind of a experimental hospital cases come here from all over the world you mean sick kids that other doctors couldn't help that's it exactly so lots of these youngsters have been in bed for you or some of them all the lives oh imagine not being able to get out in the air to walk or play it's pretty tough for these little shut-ins some of them have to be in plastic cast and others are stretched out on beds and things only allowed to move when the doctors and nurses say they can guess we don't know how lucky we are and that's true and yet these children are lucky to you know they've cured lots of children in this hospital that other doctors have given up and not been able to do anything for say this must be a pretty famous hospital it certainly is there it is now you see you see that big white building boy that's a big place come on rags wake up wake up you sleepy head and you listen to me I want you to give the best performance

It was October 19, 2008, and it was 2 in the morning. About an estimated 500 people saw the hacking, but most of everyone's experience was different from another. The website was hacked at that time, but was soon resolved in 5 AM. Every single hack was very demented and creepy. It isn't known if that was one hacker or a bunch of hackers, but the website was heavily tampered with. Every people told me about the incident, and told me about their experience with the incident. For privacy reasons, I've decided to not show their names or usernames. Experience 1. I was on my profile for a bit into AM, and there was a lot of things that were off. For example, the talk banner did not have the slogan for Roblox at the time, think, create. And when I was changing my avatar, there was no avatar or wardrobe. When I went to the games section, the only games that were on was, you're getting hacked, and, God has forbidden this website. So I decided to log off for the day since it was getting pretty late at night. When I went to sleep, I had strange nightmares about if I went in those two games. I do not want to tell you guys what happened. I do not want to have the nightmares again. Experience 2. I was logging on to Roblox at 2 AM, on a day in October 2008, and things were weird. Almost all the text was missing, except for the toolbar. The only words anywhere else was play now and Roblox, and the get safe copa compliant.  I saw nothing but distorted images and flashing images. The only audio I heard was binaural frequencies. So I closed my browser, and did not play Roblox for 3 days. Experience 3. I was on Roblox when the hacking incident happened. When I logged on, everything was normal, until I went on to the games section. That's when things started to get weird. First of all, it was only a blank page with the game, we have risen. I played the game, and I was confused because this was a pirate's life. Not whatever the hackers called the game. And when I went into that my Roblox page, my browser crashed, so I decided not to play the game for the rest of the night.


All right, so thank you everyone for your patience, rookie mistake on my end, but I like to take Shane on his day off for helping me get set up. So I'm very excited to speak here at the Ethics Village, and as you can see by the slide, I am talking about ethical disclosure and the reduction of harm, and I will tell you what that means in a bit. But first, my name is Jen. I am the Chief Marketing Officer of a company called Flashpoint, and I know a lot of you don't necessarily work closely with a lot of marketing teams and might be wondering why is there a marketing person giving a talk here about this, but I'm going to explain that. So I'll, he told me to do this. There we go. See you too. Yeah, so this is what many people think, especially in the tech community about marketers. We're scary. There we go. Hold on. I'm hiding the toolbar. I'm doing something wrong. We're just going to deal with it like this. We're just not going to waste any more time. You know, we're scary allegedly. We create a lot of chaos, et cetera. But the reality is that to build an industry, you need marketing, you need sales, you need all those things that necessarily, you know, folks here aren't necessarily interested in doing, but they might be employed by folks that need those very mechanisms to move their companies forward. The reason I'm doing this talk right now, I've been in security marketing now for almost 20 years. I've seen a lot of stuff go well. I've seen a lot of stuff go really bad. I've made mistakes myself, and I am extremely passionate about making my people, so being marketing and business leaders, behave more responsibly. It's not about how you disclose, but be more responsible in the way that they run business decisions when it comes to disclosure. So they're not jeopardizing the user. They're not jeopardizing the community. They're not discrediting research. And that's worked with a lot of different organizations that I've been at on their coordinated disclosure policies. Wink to Katie. And so that's why I'm here today. I think there's a lot of opportunity for marketers and business leaders and the technical community to work together for a more ethical approach to business. So whether you work for a manufacturer where you might be putting something out that, just to sell it to a consumer audience, or whether you work for a security vendor and you're looking here on the defender's side and you're responsible for reporting things out or keeping things protected, then, oh, I have a helper now. Thank you. So really simplified, and we could probably argue or fight all day about the nuances around these, but just some questions to think about as I head into this talk. What do manufacturers do? They try to make stuff that doesn't harm. Now, we all know we're all here at DEF CON because we know that is not always the case, but I doubt anyone's ever creating something for a child that they want to be malicious, I hope at least. Maybe I'm just naive or ethical. What do security vendors do? Sell stuff intended to reduce harm. I know that's a big well of crazy because, yeah, but in general, in theory, that is what their goal is most of the time. What are researchers, engineers, practitioners? That's usually a word that I just land on, work to reduce harm. Now, the different ways that we do it, the different ways that they go about it, whether they're offensive researchers or whether we're reverse engineering, et cetera, we can get into the ethics of all of that, but we're not going to go there now. But what do marketers often do? Create risk. We create risk and sensationalize. We try to do what's best. Our job is to amplify the message, build a narrative and amplify the message for our company. The problem is that too many marketers in our industry are not taking the time to understand what the companies are intending to do, and even the marketers that are maybe on risk or on columns teams for larger manufacturers that are responsible for reporting when there's some kind of disclosure that's necessary are thinking more about how much noise can we make with this, not how do we get this out in a way that doesn't hurt anyone, that doesn't reduce harm, and they need to get there. I'm very passionate about that. I mentioned that already. And there are some good folks out there, obviously, but this is going to tie into why we also need the research community to help us and how, on top of that, the research community needs to be empowered by us to advocate if you work in an organization, for instance, that doesn't have someone on the business leadership team or the marketing team that gives a shit about ethics, how do you go to them and how do you appeal to their senses and scare them into what's going to happen to the business in terms of if they keep violating court and disclosure? Yes? So, Chris Hopp just asked if the marketing behavior is bleeding over from logo disclosure, essentially. Every time there's a new vulnerable or something disclosed, there's a logo or something. I'm actually going to talk about the patient zero of that in a couple minutes. So bear with me for a second. Oh, thank you again. Ha! That wasn't even a setup. So everybody... So, I assume everybody knows what this is. No. Exactly. So, this was, as I was talking to my friend earlier, called patient zero for the worst logo disclosure and what sent marketing teams on a tear thinking that this is a good idea. So we all know about Heartbleed. We all know that OpenSSL called it a heartbeat flaw, codenomicon, now part of synopsis, I believe. One head, their marketing person was like, we're going to register that domain. We're going to hire someone to do a logo. We're going to do that because we want to help educate and inform. That's called branding. And that was a quote from a CMO. She's full, yeah, unethical, right? We just want to help educate and inform but it created so much chaos because what would happen is this stupid heart showed up everywhere and then people started making assumptions. So many response teams and all kinds of different teams actually were thrown into a tizzy that got on the radar because it was all over every business channel, news site, CEOs, CFOs, et cetera, were calling their CISOs, calling their security teams, screaming and yelling about this thing and distracting them from actually doing something to protect their users. We can't have this anymore. And I know that there are some companies, I know that there are some teams, some research teams that I love and work very closely with that still do branded disclosure. I don't, even as a marketer, I don't support that. I think it tracks from the seriousness of the situation and I think it just creates a lot of noise that gets in the way of good people trying to do their jobs. Next slide, thank you. So what I just said, I would like to put a lot of that stuff. I can't do this just myself. I need other business leaders, other marketing leaders. I need folks in the tech community to think about some of the business side of stuff.  I mean, I love it.  And this is not to talk to you guys about how to do good marketing because you probably all run out of the room, that's not your path. But what we need to do is work together to get rid of that old approach to disclosure when it comes to not necessarily, again, disclosing the vaults and how to disclose them, but when they come on the radar of business and marketing leaders, what do we do with them? How do we make sure that there's a process, there's an approach that doesn't break more shit? So this is something I'm very big on. If you, I'm not going to paraphrase what's on here, if you work in the security industry, whether you are in marketing, you're in finance, any other back office, HR, and you don't care about the end game, the mission of securing people, get out. There are plenty of other things you can market, right? Flobies, are those still around? So, I mean, get out. Security needs to be everyone's responsibility. Now, it's a little different when you get into those larger organizations, those manufacturing firms I was talking about where not everybody at a huge, I don't know, video game company is going to care about security. But if you are on a team within that company and part of your job is to work with the security engineering team, et cetera, if they're like, this is just a job, I don't care about security, you should probably find something else to do. Because it's important that we understand what we're doing and the impact of what we're doing. And really, if I may say so, and I will because I'm holding this microphone, it's kind of a marketing 101 thing. If you don't understand your audience and the impact of what you're saying, you shouldn't be saying it. So maybe you should go work with Flobi. So that's kind of where this starts. So this is what I really want to focus on today. This is my, as a CMO, I'm extremely artistic, as you can tell. But this is my disclosure decision tree. And someday I will hire maybe the same graphic artist that I hardly kidding, to make it prettier. But this is my thought process. And this is how I operate when I'm working with the researchers and the security teams in my companies. And when I work with our researchers with other companies on coordinated disclosure. So YRX would have been one example of that where we had to work together on the coordination there. So we applied this methodology. So there's Vuln. Was it shared with the company that is vulnerable or has a vulnerable product? No. Stop! Don't do it. Good example of this one. Recent, CTS Labs versus AMD. You guys remember that? Where CTS just went ahead and disclosed everything and made a whole bunch of noise and sure there were actually vulnerabilities but created a lot of nonsense that was unnecessary. And then also the way that the CEO that kept saying well I'm not a marketing person but I'm going to tell you why you're wrong and I'm like maybe you should hire a marketing person in this case, but just don't do it. If you haven't disclosed to the organization that has a product that needs to fix. Obviously there are exceptions here. This is not black and white. Just stop, at least stop and think about it. If it's a malware vulnerability if it'll tip off a cyber criminal so if you're one of those companies that likes to break news that you have a ransomware vaccine and you want to share with the whole world that you figured out that there is a flaw in this ransomware who do you think the first person is that's going to realize that's going to take this information and fix their stuff? Threat actor, the author, right? Don't run out with it. Don't do it like that. Work with the community that you're in. Work with your research teams, coordinate all that stuff. Don't just put it out there. I've seen that so much and then I get really angry when I see the journalists writing about it too because they should know better but we'll save that for a therapy session at some point. So if it's shared with the company yeah, consider it. Okay, you agree timeline, blah blah blah. We all know how disclosure works is it coordinated? Are you on agreement of when? How? Who needs to be notified? What needs to be done first? What is the timeline? Are you in agreement on the timeline? Are you in agreement on how you communicate it? Who communicates it? Is it something that needs to be shared with customers? Always share with your customers first, right? Don't make a media circus before your clients are taken care of. So if it's not coordinated stop. Then you ask the question is this actually going to help people if we put it out there broadly? Is this just creating something that we're hoping is going to drive traffic to a website or is going to make us look like the biggest baddest security company in the world? If it's not educational if it's something that's just like hey, we found this thing, I don't know what to do about it you're screwed. Bye. Don't do it. Stop, right? If it is, there's value if there's something that people can learn if you're going to do an emergency I sound like a marketer, but that's who I am an emergency webinar or something like that on what you need to know about this immediately we spin those up a lot then there's something that you can do there that actually helps people then go for it message not scary or spun otherwise known as FUD if you're uncertainty doubt just don't do it if you have to I've said this a lot, I'll say it again if you have to scare someone into buying your shit it's not good it's not a good product you shouldn't have to scare anyone into using your technology or using your stuff so there's no reason to go out there and scare users a recent example of this where it wasn't necessarily scary or spun it was more stupid it was bit-fi you guys familiar with that story they're unhackable crypto wallet there were all kinds of issues with that I will only get into the whole technology side of that because that is not my wheelhouse I'll let you guys all research and debate that but never call something unhackable because whether you offer a bounty or not you're just inviting an army of people to rip you apart you look ridiculous and the other part of it is sure to us in this community where we're aware and we know that that's a bad thing to do and we're going to question it and you guys are going to rip that stuff apart that's one thing, but they're also marketing that to people that know nothing about security and won't question it and I know you guys saw the whole thing about the hologram stickers we have hologram stickers now and if there we go, thank you we have hologram stickers now and if you already have a device, we'll send you a sticker to put on your device to show that it's secure what? so there's the whole message was wrong on that for so many reasons that wasn't really a disclosure, that was just bad marketing but it's been annoying me so much that I had to share it with you all this one, I can't step over because I'll get in trouble are the researchers credited there's so many companies that are like oh, this is great thank you for this discovery it really looks better for the company if we put it out in the CEO's name or such and such company research team do not allow that it's your work, you're the one putting your ass on the line your opsec, your time all of that stand up for that and I'll go a little bit into checking time just as we started late a little bit more into how you might be able to do that researchers are credited? yes researchers not credited? no I ran into a situation not at my current company but a previous company coordinating something with another company and they were adamant about not putting the researchers' names on it and we pulled back our support from the disclosure they decided to do one on their own it was a flop, they got ripped apart the comms person got fired from that other company it's a good lesson learned and they deserved it quite frankly so you're like what is this chick babbling about this is obviously those of you that aren't especially those of you that aren't on the business or marketing side which is probably most of you I appreciate you sitting through this and actually taking an interest in this it's coming kind of out of left field it's very rare for someone in my position to be like you know what my people need to do a better job and we need your help to do a better job and all of that so I just wanted to take a breather for a second before we can get into what are some ideas I've talked about what we shouldn't do giving examples of what's gone wrong I've talked about the flow chart which is kind of dipping into what we should do but now I want to talk about how we actually create this like disclosure utopia that I'm talking about thank you so this is just an idea I have so a lot of major news organizations have standards desks basically the folks on the standards desks are ombudsmen or ombudswomen and they are responsible for looking at articles looking at content news stories before they go out to ensure that that everything's solid it's fact checked it's a story that needs to go out it's a story that's not just go out and create chaos right it's not something that's going to put anyone in further danger it's not something that's going to get them sued there's all kinds of other things on there but what if we had the concept of a standards desk for any team that was responsible for working with the researchers on disclosure and again this is really focusing this piece is really focusing on those vendors that are working with other companies more than independent researchers and so on that's a different topic but what if we could do that what if every company had some kind of standards initiative or standards desk when they were looking at how to take this stuff out similar to the flow chart I just showed this is very similar to what we do at our company and one of the things I love about it is that everybody buys into it it's very natural we're a very security focused company for a threat intelligence firm that's obviously important so never use you know your analysts, your researchers your engineers as a content repository don't just take their stuff oh wow I just saw this we see a lot of intelligence reports roll through it would be very easy for us though it wouldn't last long I'm sure for us to take those reports and just publish them as blogs one there's a lot of information in there that would need to be sanitized to protect tradecraft to protect sources to protect a customer and so on so we don't do that but a lot of companies do that they'll look and say oh so and so did a paper on this I'm not going to talk to them about this because they work for our company and therefore it's ours and I can do what I want with it that's not okay so you need to collaborate and that's another way to ingratiate yourself and if you're on the research or engineer or on the practitioner side like I said you have every right to request and demand that that not happen in my team case we work really closely with our intelligence and research teams so when we see those reports and we're like ooh shiny I want to market this first we do a read through for our own go checks then we work directly with our head of intelligence and I'm like alright is there anything in here is there any reason why we shouldn't do this the only thing he always asks me is what's the point what do you want to do with this then so I'll tell him whatever my hair-brained idea is and if it's safe and if we can sanitize and if it makes sense then we'll go ahead and put that out that's just one example challenge everyone I talked about this a little bit everybody in the org needs to care about security outcomes everybody needs to be responsible for security outcomes we had this conversation the other day too around enforcing everyone to care about or be responsible or accountable for security if you work at a company where they're a business part business units they're going to be executives that are in charge of those business units a lot of times they're officers of the company which means they have a fiduciary responsibility to protect the company and that means protecting the company so they should be held equally accountable for educating their teams and also making the right decisions like running any new tools that they buy that especially might have dated it through their security teams to make sure that they're you know they're okay to use double check with multiple folks to ensure that there's no FUD proper attribution to the analysts or the researcher OPSEX never compromised sources are protected and trade draft is protected that's the way it really should work at least in my view of the world and it works pretty well I think thank you you know like still why should I care about this we can go to the next one there's a lot of stuff that you know there's a lot of stuff that the more technical teams can do to help with this initiative most of the time it's marketing sucks why do they do this did you see this thing that this marketing team did start explaining why create a culture shift talk to your you know colleagues employers so for instance if you're looking at this and you're like yeah am I I work with these people or maybe I don't work for a vendor right now but I know someone or whoever and they think I think they really need to see this or I think they need to understand this talk to your manager or talk to that person or talk to that colleague in the next week or so like just have a conversation hey I saw this talk at DEF CON this crazy lady with chickens and demons and stuff was talking about how wait a second it's not all on us and we're put in bad positions and we need to educate them on how to better treat our research and any disclosures that we need to do start with that bring that up in a conversation it's not a very common one which is probably why I'm here giving that this talk if they don't have coordinated disclosure policy build one take the initiative if that's a position that you could be in or are in or push someone to do it we are not a security company is not a good answer we hear that sometimes just because you're not a security company doesn't mean that you shouldn't have some kind of disclosure policy as long as you're selling if you're selling something that could potentially cause harm if anything bad happened to it require credit for your work I've already been on that a bunch call out the marketers but like I said earlier focus on sharing how to do better like hey this is what happened because we made this decision not you did it again you suck this is what happened because we did this if they don't have an oh no response again that goes back to should they be working in security that's probably not for you to tell them or decide I don't advocate that but helping to educate is a big divide that everyone can benefit from if we got much smaller and I think starting to actually communicate and recognize that we really are on the same teams just different people have different experiences and understandings of what we're trying to do and it's all of our jobs to help each other so we can go to the next slide so oh my animation is not going to work now that's okay so we don't want to create risk and sensationalize anymore and again like I said I keep saying business leaders as well sometimes CEOs are the ones that are having a marketing teams because they say no we have to do this now they need to be educated as well now it might be easy for me to say as a CMO to be like I'm just telling my CEO no not everybody's in that position and that's where some of the collaboration and education can help because other folks that aren't maybe a senior organization or aren't as mouthy as I am in conversations as openly next slide thank you so I would love this to be our state where we actually reduce harm through the ways we work with our research teams to disclose by providing better education by ensuring that we're not scaring the end users we're not scaring anyone who's consuming the information and that we're not just you know putting up logos and theme songs as Chris said just to try to get more attention I'd love that to be the state I realize that is very far off from where we are now but I think we can get there and then everybody's happy it's not that simple obviously this is just kind of a primer just a discussion for this village but you know I think there are there's so many more opportunities that we have as whether you're a hacker whether you are an analyst whether you're an engineer or a marketer, business leader, sales person etc to actually understand in this industry to understand what the other folks are doing and how we might be hurting each other at times largely my side of the fence and in order for that to change we just need people to speak up and say hey stop messing with us you're actually hurting people more that's all I got and I'm happy to take how are we on time I kind of rushed through since I was late any questions? thank you so the question is have I compared the super basic yet fantastical disclosure decision tree against other frameworks like SEI etc for disclosure I have looked at those absolutely and in building this out I really thought about it more from their perspective disclosing actually doing the disclosure of a breach or something more about how to maintain discipline and structure on the business side so they're not pushing the research team to do something that they shouldn't do I don't know if that makes sense or not so they align but they're going to be much different steps and different thought processes in the world I live in at least so yeah any other questions? so marketing and so obviously the sales teams take the messaging and marketing which oftentimes the engineers of the same company have to get in front of customers to talk about usually when you're getting a presentation oh let me skip through these first four slides because they're the marketing side right but the challenge I think is part of the disclosure process is when marketing is just a conduit for the need to make your numbers from sales perspective especially the public side at least this one demand generation so how do you solve that it would be interesting if the sales person would be the same POB about their love or hatred of marketing because I think that's the other at least one of the other indexes so would you see a significant gap between what the person who is in sales talking about uniforms pretty much do you think that they would have a marketing different perspective I'm not even sure how to recap that question really so if a sales person were to give this talk how different would it look given the gap between marketing and sales there are different perspectives because marketing is primarily a driver for sales to meet your number so how was that marketing so you know it's interesting that you ask that marketing sales always have a love and hate relationship and there's going to be friction needs to be healthy friction I tell my team all the time they're going to blame us for everything we're going to blame them for everything that's how it works and accept it don't take it personally just keep being better than they are and I do have some of these conversations with our head of sales who's great again there's still the healthy friction and we have I think if a sales person were to give this they would say it really depends on who it is if they live and die by the number and they're like we've got to meet the number at any cost because I've got to get my team paid and I've got to keep them motivated and the board is going to be breathing down my neck so I need to do this they'll be like fuck this tree right? I'm doing whatever I want and that's where I come in nothing goes out unless I say so but not every organization is like that but there are other sales folks like ours I'm pretty sure I've never seen this where I can say hey I know you guys out I know you really want to do this we need to train people going back to the comment actually earlier in the question you said a lot of times marketing develops messaging if an engineer has the same deck they'll skip through the marketing messaging go straight into the stuff no one should ever make an engineer do marketing messaging by the way that's not their job I don't know that's a bad marketer fire your marketer it's a long-term gains and if we miss this quarter because we decide to do something ethical it's going to pay off longer in the business and if we explain this to the board in a way where we're protecting their long-term investment they're going to understand so you just need to basically have people that are willing to speak up and not shy away from someone that's like trying to scare you with I need to make the number any other questions? yes sir can you repeat the situation in which that doesn't get reviewed by your okay so the question is is there any instance so if it's something created by an analyst etc that doesn't go through the decision tree the mistakes have happened they are quickly rectified and then we put more process in place to ensure that doesn't happen again sorry repeating the question what mistakes happen to stuff go out when it shouldn't most of my team in my current environment is pretty anyone that has any responsibility or any ability to get anything out without my approval or my eyes on it or one of the other senior members of the team's eyes on it are very well trained well versed have spent a lot of time with the researchers have spent a lot of time with security teams etc so there have been situations before especially around the topics of physical security where something's gone out and the quality of the content was really good but I've been like why the heck are these images in there we shouldn't be perpetuating these images take those out things like that where it's just a gut check thing and then they learn as they go but there's lots of other content obviously that goes out from companies that don't necessarily need to go through this if you are working on an RFI that's not going to come through marketing the client's not going to want that we don't want that either it's just before it goes out to a broad base or on the website or through media etc etc that's where you want to apply this and make sure that you're involving those decision makers um I think one more question and yes sir sorry can you repeat that can you hear us the door this violation and communicate with marketing so do you have the advice on how to report an issue sure so the question is how does a code monkey quoting communicate with marketing or whomever more effectively when they see something that shouldn't be done because it sounds like from what you're saying that they don't listen or they or you say no and they run with it anyway or massive misunderstanding got it okay so it's just bad communication either sensationalized or it's belittled and it's not as effective as it could be so some advice there would be and you may already be doing this but just for like the broader room anyone else might have this question start by asking questions why do you want to do this this way why do you think it's important to put this out this way they might not even have an answer they might say well this is the way we've done it in the template sadly why don't you think about this another way sounds familiar right so that's one way to go about it the other thing is to especially if it's something for instance that's customer facing if there's something you disclose to customers say look it is your responsibility to make sure that we communicate clearly to our customers and make sure that they understand because this is where you appeal to their pain point if they don't understand we don't properly inform them we don't help them the right way we're going to churn these customers and it's going to be because of bad marketing so marketers I just said it myself churning customers and it hurts because you're responsible for not making that happen so I think a lot of us in delivery appealing to a lot of times I think what I've seen with code monkeys as you said coming to the marketing teams I've said you can't do this because of this and I saw this and this and that they don't understand what any of that means I don't understand what any of that means I just understand this conceptually which is what I'm here to do quite frankly but if you appeal to the things that are important to a marketer making the numbers, good reputation telling the right story for the company not pissing people off not getting in trouble for getting the way of sale conversations and if you're talking to someone and they're not listening and it really is an issue escalate it go over their head alright I think that's it so what am I doing with this I have a packet squirrel nuts for networks give away to whoever actually I'm going to give it to you because that was a really good question I'm going to give it to a code monkey question right


Why do you think it's important to connect your students to the community? Well, the main reason why I think it's important for my students to connect with the community is because they learn a sense of civic responsibility. They learn about the issues that are going on in their Bellingham community and I feel that the students, they can learn what you teach them in the classroom when they can actually take it out of the classroom and bring the material to life, I feel that they get more out of it. So by going out into the community, they get more out of the classroom by being able to bring the material to life. And so for an example is I have a group that works for the CHOR program and the CHOR program is an assistant living program in our community that helps people with various disabilities, the elderly, and what they have is they have people come in and either clean the house for these members or they might cook a meal for them and so my students are engaged in that process and it's all about the helping but at the same time they're learning about that individual and so the CHOR program is a fabulous program that I've used for several quarters.


While resting on the bank of a swift flowing stream in an uncharted section of the south-central African jungle, Tarzan and Darno, Major Burton Ashley, Jeanette Burton, Dr. Wong Tai and Terrence O'Rourke are captured by a band of half-human giants. They escape and take to the river in a crude dugout. Carried around a bend, a precipitous wall of rock towering a hundred feet above the stream confronts them. Coming from cave-like openings with which the cliff is honeycombed are scores of the yellow savages. Yelling fiendishly, the half-human monsters scramble down the face of the precipice to congregate on the high banks of the river. Rushed forward in the fearful grip of the current, menaced on all sides by the yellow-skinned monsters, the dugout speeds straight and swift as an arrow toward a narrow black opening in the base of the wall. I do. We're going to hit that hole at tremendous speed. Watch out for rocks from overhead. They're going to drop them down on us. These are the rifles. Beat, O'Rourke, Ashley, Wong, Fire. Look out. Here comes a rock as big as a hole. No, if that had hit the... They're going to rush us. Just look out for those stairs. Use your rifles, men. All of you, duck your heads. Here comes the tunnel. Down, down in the bottom of the boat. Hold tight, Jeanette. And if we don't get out, goodbye, my dear. Jeanette's reply is drowned in the roar as the craft shoots into black and utter darkness. The rushing of the waters echoes and reverberates from the rocky walls with a noise like thunder. Onward they speed through the Stygian darkness for what seems an eternity. Pouched in the bottom of the dugout, carried at the will of the flood, fearful that each moment will plunge them over the brink of a cataract or grind them to bits on jutting rocks. Through the bowels of the mountain they rush. And that hole, it looks a long way from us. It looks like a pinpoint. Well, we must be traveling at terrific speed. See how that opening is growing inside. I can see smooth water beyond. Oh, thank heavens. We can only reach solid ground again. Hey, there's something we're shining when we came in here. Look at that reflection on the water. Please, not sunlight. The moon, O'Rourke. We've been in this tunnel a long time. Ta-da! Have you any idea where we are? No more than you have, Dono. That opening is pretty low. We've got to get down on the bottom of the boat again. We're going through in a second. Clear, sweet hair. That sky. I was afraid I'd never see it again. But where's the jungle? Nothing but tall cliffs on both sides of us. No place to land. As the boat shoots out of the roaring cavern, its occupants gaze around in wonder. At their backs is the cliff with the narrow opening through which they've just come. They pour them through a narrow gorge, a swift flowing river. On every side rise tall cliffs, tower-like pinnacles, fluted in ornate columns, slender pillars, bare titanic boulders, and great slabs balanced on their summits. Straight from the riverside, the fantastic rock formations rise, many of them shear for half a thousand feet. Nature's minarets inspire, visible as though viewed through a sheet of silver gauze under the soft, diffused radiance of a tropical moon, round and bright as a new minted coin. Perfectly wonderful. Oh, after rushing through that awful black hole, expecting to be smashed to bits every minute. And that's the seat of the yellow savages from whom I hope we have definitely escaped. I've been thinking about that. Tarzan, do you think those fellas are following us? I doubt it. They would have been out of that hole by now if they were behind us. Then it should be safe to land now. Hey, Lieutenant, boy, land. I mean favorably sticking to this wood skin as long as we can. We can land any time. Oh, and those shear cliffs, Terry? Well, I haven't seen a spot wide enough to stand on yet. But if I am not mistaken, the river is gradually widening. And down there, see, ahead of us is not that a narrow strip of bait, eh? I agree with Terry, my friends. Stay with the boat as long as we can. Perhaps we may yet reach the Congo. Sure, and that's my idea exactly. I'm not in favor of taking chances with them yellow here than again. Just because they're not right behind us is no sign we won't have trouble with them yet. Come to think of it, the biennial, it is rather strange they have not followed us. I wonder why. They certainly must know of that underground river. Have you any explanation for it, Tarzan? No, Miss Burton, but I'm sure they haven't. It may be that this tunnel is taboo, no? That is possible. Strange place this. I doubt if any man has ever been in this canyon before, at least by the root weekend. And for all we know, the exit may be by tunnel also. It is a weird place right enough, Ashley. Unlike anything I have ever seen in Africa, the map shows a cluster of mountains somewhere in this region. But I never dreamed there were anything like this. No, the two toward yellow skin savages lived in here, eh? Yeah, true enough or not. But those fiendish men, I suppose they are men. Double me. I have been thinking about them ever since they saw the one Tarzan killed. They bothered me a lot more for a lever after us than when they had us and they do know. I don't care if I never see any of them again. My settlement's exactly that. Eh, you do not understand what I mean either of you. Who and what they are is what troubles me. I think I understand, Wong. I agree with you. They certainly are not of recent origin. As a matter of fact, I'm firmly convinced that these creatures are survivors of the cavemen. Vous vous pensez, the cavemen, mon majeur? Yes. You saw the face of that cliff we passed under, on a comb with caverns. Those savages live in it. Not only that. Did you examine them closely while they had us back there on the river bank? But majeur, the cavemen, the Neanderthalmen, for example, he was a much smaller creature. Lieutenant, but are we positive of that? There were undoubtedly fads of giants such as these even then. Of course. These creatures are more like huge, hairless apes than men. Didn't you see the flat low craniums, the long arms, the short legs? Wong, there's a marvelous field for investigation here. And for the sake of ethnology, I think we should... Well, you ethnologists are welcome to investigate all you want to. But you'd better wear armor and carry machine guns when you begin your investigation, I think. That may not be such a bad idea, Derek. Well, I have a much better idea, Uncle Jim. Stay as far away from them as possible.  Mi-vo-la-ta-za! Look there. We are coming out into open country and jungles. The cliffs, they are dropping behind us. Yes. Listen. Numa. Sable. Sheeter. A country filled with unspeakable harm. Death behind each bush. Oh, it's terrible. But were you not warned of those horrors, my dear? I believe the major and O'Rourke, as well as I, endeavored to convince you that the jungle is not the place for a young slight woman. You did for three months. And it was only when I threatened to follow you if you left me behind in Nairobi that you agreed to my coming. It would have been better, Miss Burton, had you listened to your friends and remained behind. Uncle Jim is all I have left Tarzan. I couldn't let him go off into the jungle at long. Listen. Sounds like a waterfall somewhere ahead. Yes. We must land. You noticed how the current has become swifter? In the future we get a show of the better. We can inspect that fall in the morning. Perhaps carry the dead out to the lower water, eh? If we are going to Tarzan, we had better do so quickly. It seems to me that we are approaching that fall or whatever it may be, very fast. Right. Head for that open space on the right bank. Careful of that point, jutting out into the river. If we hit that... We'll have to go around it. Land on the other side. Use your paddle. Keep them deep, men. The current's getting stronger. Paddle, everybody. Once we're in that backwash, we're safe. Paddling doesn't seem too... too much good. We're passing the backwash, Tarzan. She's right. The current's taking us out towards the middle. Very gary. I don't think we'll make it. Paddle, O'Rourke. Ashley. Dono. We are doing the best we can, Monabi. By the due. There goes my paddle. It's snapped off just above the blade. Are there any more in these dugouts? Oh, here, here. Take mine. We'll never make it out of that. Don't give up. Use those paddles. No, Pa, possible. It is useless, Tarzan. We are so near the edge now that nothing but the miracle can save us. Look, Dono. Those limbs. Frances out over the water. When we pass under them, I'm going to jump. Watch for me up ahead. With the speed of an arrow, the long, ungainly dugout races toward the overhanging branches festooned with creepers and vines. As the canoe shoots beneath them, Tarzan leaps high into the air. The steely fingers of one hand unerringly find and grasp the loop of the thick vine. The next instant, with the speed and agility of Manu, the monkey, the eight man is swarming up one strand of the creeper toward the thick foliage above. The dugout speedily leaves Tarzan behind. Nearer and nearer to the cataract to help this group is rushed for the awful current. Ever louder becomes the roar of water, as tons upon tons of it strike the rocks and boulders far below. In the apparently doomed canoe, five hopeful pair of eyes are glued to the eight man as he reaches up to swing himself onto the branch. Suddenly a cry of horror from the occupants of the dugout. Tarzan, about to grasp the limb, hurtles downward toward the rushing stream clinging to one end of the broken vine.


Welcome to WSIS Forum 2018. I'm delighted to be joined by Ms Gitanjali Shah, who is WSIS coordinator. Gitanjali, thank you very much for joining us. Thank you Charlotte, it's a pleasure. So Gitanjali, this year marks a milestone. It's been 15 years since the start of the first phase of WSIS and the implementation of the Geneva Plan of Action. So, what can you tell us about the beginning of WSIS Forum and what it's turned into? Yes, thank you Charlotte. Actually, WSIS Forum is part of the WSIS process, which you rightly said that it initiated in 2003. There were two summits, one in 2003 and the other one in 2005. And in 2009, the cluster of WSIS related events, they converted into the WSIS Forum. The idea was to provide just an equal platform for all stakeholders to get together, to share ideas, to foster partnerships, to showcase their success stories. And in 2009, we started with around 800 participants. There were some ministers, people, there were UN agencies of course because the commitment of UN agencies is crucial for the WSIS process. However, as you can see over the years, it's evolved into an event, the leading ICT for development event, where this year we have welcomed 2,500 registered participants. You saw the commitment from the UN Secretary General, the Deputy Secretary General of the UN was here. All the UN agency heads were well represented. So it's evolved into this platform, which all stakeholders identify as the leading platform for ICT for sustainable development. So I have mentioned that it's been 15 years, so that's 15 forums to, well not 15 forums to organize. How many forums have been taking place since the launch of the first phase of WSIS? I would say around seven because we started in 2009, as I said. So we must remember that WSIS forum is a part of the WSIS process, their UN processes. And the main purpose, main effort from our side as UN agencies and stakeholders since 2014 has been to align the WSIS process with the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. Hence, you will see at the WSIS forum, all the 250 workshops are aligned to the sustainable goals, development goals and the WSIS action lines. Anything that you see has an outcome, which clearly shows the linkages between the WSIS action lines and the sustainable development goals. So what is the expected outcome for this year's forum then? This year, Charlotte, we made an effort to engage with the youth because we wanted to showcase that the UN processes add value to the youth as well. And their commands and their engagement is very valuable for us. There was a big effort to showcase new technologies and ICT solutions, especially for development. So drones for social development, we are for good. You did see in the exhibition space, we had a robot bringing the scissors and that robot actually it's planned that would help in disaster relief in bringing water to areas where it's not easily available. So all these new technologies and their applications for sustainable development, for education, for food, for water. And basically to contribute to development efforts worldwide. What's interesting about WSIS forum is that it's one of the only UN frameworks that has actually managed to retain its spirits. Yes, Charlotte, we are very proud about that because the stakeholders have a commitment towards this process. And you will see that it's very visible. Everybody feels a bit of an ownership towards the process. And they feel the responsibility to contribute to it as well. So whether it be the civil society, private sector, academia, technical community, governments or UN agencies, they make their efforts and they play their roles. Thank you very much.


Welcome to the Tracy Johnson show presented by Buffalo Wild Wings. I'm Sam Murray joined now with Stevenson women's ice hockey head coach, Tracy Johnson and coach. Tough opening weekend, uh, faced number two, Adrienne, followed by number three, Norwich at the Bulldog Bowl. Talk about the opening weekend. So I knew scheduling something like this early in the year was going to be a challenge for us, but I believe that you're only as good as your competition and it is a goal of ours to be a national caliber team. Now, keeping in mind that that is a process and I know and I understand that that takes time and we are not there yet, but we are never going to know how close we're getting or what we need to do unless we're playing against those types of teams and I think I would rather put ourselves out there and see, you know, how good are we? Can we hang with them? How long can we versus playing teams that are within our comfort zone? And, um, even though the score wasn't exactly how I think it could have been and wasn't a complete reflection of the effort that we put forth, um, you know, it's, it's something that I think we're going to build from and we're going to work hard to get to where we need to be so that we can compete with teams like that for a whole 60 minutes for a whole 120 minutes on the weekend. Yeah. In that opener versus Adrienne, uh, junior Katie Derosa had a career high 43 saves. I know you probably don't want to see that many shots, uh, thrown on her, but, uh, she had 43 saves, only the fifth time in program history that any goalkeeper has recorded at least 40. And that 43 actually ranks second in school histories. Talk about her performance in that, in that opening game. Yeah. She put everything out there and left everything on the ice. And that's all you can ask of, of your goal tenders. I think in the sport of hockey, in any sport, the ice hockey goalie is the most challenging position in all of sport. I truly believe that.  And, uh, I think that she stuck with it. It's not easy to have to let in that many goals and, and see that many shots. And I think it's a great thing on the goal tender side of things to learn that we need to be, um, you know, more conditioned to, to deal with that many shots, because the reality is when we play good teams like that, they're probably going to have to see, um, we want to minimize them as much as we can, but the reality is she's going to see a lot of shots. Yeah. So looking at this opening weekend, one of the emphasis going into the season really was special teams for you, um, not what you would have wanted, um, on both sides on the, uh, power play and penalty kill, but you have a whole extra week to, to work on those things.  What do you have to work on specifically to improve on, prove on both of those? Everything to put it quite bluntly. You know, we have to be better. And that, and that starts from, um, you know, the coaching side of things too. We, we've got to really hammer away at demanding that we're moving the puck quickly, that we're moving the puck tape to tape, that we're putting pucks on net when we need to, um, and I think it's just hammering away at those things that are going to make it successful and breaking it down to the basics, like let's practice one touch passing, let's practice moving into space, let's practice communicating and, um, having that urgency to get the puck to the net. I think sometimes you get this idea in your head that just cause we're a player up, it means we have a lot of time to, to do whatever we want. And that's not the case. So, um, you know, we have to be better and there's no question about that. And we have two weeks to, to work at it and hammer away at it and just demand more because when we have those opportunities on the power play, we have to capitalize. We had quite a few against Adrian. We had a few against Norwich, um, special teams are going to make or break us in against teams like that of that caliber. And if we can find a way to hone those in and be good and perform solidly with those, um, games are going to hopefully go our way more so than they won't. With that extra week of practice, your next game is going to be a conference game. What are other points of emphasis other than special teams that you're working on with your team? Discipline in the D zone. I think anytime that we don't have the puck, we have to be on the same page. So encouraging our team to really work on their hockey sense and reading the play and creating space and time. Um, when we have the pockets, it's creativity. It's reading off your teammates and skating into space and working harder without the puck than with the puck. And those are things that we just have to be good at day in and day out in order to be successful, especially getting into conference play. Well, coach, thank you for taking the time for being here. Uh, next week we'll, we'll take a look at, at your, uh, two conference games versus William Smith. Thank you so much. All right. For coach Tracy Johnson, I'm Sam Murray, and this has been the Tracy Johnson show.


This scruffy-looking plant, and even boring on ugly, is called greasewood. Now, early settlers to Wyoming quickly understood where this grew in abundance, crops would not. Greasewood is a very tough Wyoming native that grows where almost nothing else can grow, on alkaline or salty flats and flood plains. Greasewood is thorny. It loses its leaves and appears dead in the winter. However, it starts to grow again in early spring and can reach a height of seven feet or more. And greasewood is extraordinarily drought tolerant. Greasewood is moderately toxic to livestock if they eat too much of its leaves, but browsing it has kept a lot of Wyoming sheep and cattle alive in the winter. Many small wildlife species including jackrabbits, porcupines, prairie dogs, and ground squirrels feed on greasewood. Indians, and probably a many a sheepher, use the wood for fuel and digging sticks. Experience has shown that if you remove greasewood, you may well get something worse to grow or nothing at all. Whether you find greasewood in its habitat beautiful or not, it is a Wyoming native and needs to be appreciated as such. This has been Tom Hill for the University of Wyoming Cooperative Extension Service, Exploring the Nature of Wyoming.


I am in a first grade class today, so I'm just gonna show you some of the things we did today. So for Reader's Workshop I read, oh I didn't read this book, let me go get it, I actually read this one, Butterflies in the Garden, and it was really cute, and they, let me see here, they filled from this insect vocabulary, and they did some roll the word, so they write their spelling list, and then they roll it and write it down. Here was a poem that they did, then for math, there was this fun sheet, you can find it here, so that was a fun one, they just color in ones that are different of one, or two boxes. There was this coloring sheet, and this daily math, so here's a page we did, you can find it. So I apologize, it's just so awkward with those open concept classrooms where like everybody can hear you if you talk to yourself via a camera. No, it's really awkward though, so I just decided to do it in my car after school, so because I'm having that interview next week, I decided to take a couple resources just in case, you know, you never really know like what's gonna happen in an interview.  So I took a few different sheets here, just as a way of like, just in case, so I have ideas and I have things that I can do if I happen to get the job. I also think it's really good experience to be subbing in first grade over the next couple of days, because then I get that experience and I can bring that directly into the interview. So I'm really excited. They also had this thing called Farm Bucks. So this was kind of their classroom management system. I don't know if she did this all year, or if it was just this month, but she just has these little dollars. So she has $5, $1. So of course, right when I was going to show you guys, it fell right between the crack in the seat, but and then they had this $10. So her system was you can earn money if you're doing a good job and doing what you're supposed to be doing. And then you can also lose money if you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing and things like that. So I'm really trying to prepare for this interview. I have another first grade job, actually maybe another two first grade jobs. So I think I should be ready. I'm excited. I'm nervous. But hopefully it works out. So wish me luck, guys. I still I have exactly a week to prepare. So I'm gonna go. I will catch you guys tomorrow. Hello, everybody. I am in a third grade class today. And so far so good this morning. There are some active boys in here. So I have to keep a lookout for that. But it looks like it's gonna be a fun day. We're doing some stuff with bridges. So they are going to be showing their bridges when they get back. We're going to do this sheet, this planning sheet, as well as this budget sheet. And then we are what are we doing? Oh, and then we're going to read this book called the one and only Ivan, I guess they're doing some stuff on China. So I'm reading this story about China. They also something that's kind of fun if I can find it. They have these awesome punch cards. And she just has these little things to punch a little hole in there so you can see that they did an awesome job. And yeah, so those are some of the main things. The principal came in and introduced himself, which I've already met him. I know I'm sure they have a lot of subs and stuff, but it is always kind of a disheartening feeling when, you know, you already know that person. But I kind of talked about my experiences. So maybe if next time he sees my name pop up for a job application, maybe he'll look a little more into it. So who knows, but I'm gonna go guys. See you later. So it is the next day and today I'm doing two half days. So the morning is going to be in kindergarten and the afternoon is going to be in first grade, which is perfect for preparing for my interview because I can see where some of the kids might be coming in if I got this job where they'd be coming in at and then where they would be leaving at. So I'm really really excited for this opportunity today and especially to help me prepare for this interview. Kind of just worked out this way. It was actually supposed to be only a half day in the afternoon, but they called me yesterday and I'm working a half day, two half days all full day. And all we're doing today for readers workshop, we are reading these animal opposites. And that's it. There's four different books. And then for writers workshop, they are going to write about animal opposites. And that's pretty much the whole morning. I don't know what the afternoon looks like yet when you do half days. That's just kind of how it works. But yeah, otherwise this morning I took my dogs on a mile walk and I did a workout. So I'm feeling really good and then after work I'm gonna go work out too. So I'm feeling good and yeah, I'm really excited to get some practice with kindergartners at the end of the year and first graders at the end of the year. So I'll let you guys know how it goes. So I just got into the first grade classroom. I always kind of forget how crazy and how much work kindergarten can be. But that's gonna be the reality if I teach that next year. So I better be ready for that and get used to it. But let me just show you quick what we're doing for this first grade classroom for the So part of their math curriculum here is that they use this thing called number corner, which is basically using the calendar as a way of doing math. So today is the 24th. So that was the one we were working on. And we also did a challenge activity. Now because the computer had a password and I couldn't get on to it, I couldn't show this under the document camera. So so many students were confused and it was kind of frustrating for me personally to get through this just because students were not really trying. They were confused and they just kind of gave up and said I don't get what I'm doing and really didn't write anything down even though I was writing it for them up on the board. I thought on my feet and still so many papers came back with nothing on them. So I don't know if that was my fault or I don't know what. But anywho, this is what it looked like $50 to spend.  And obviously you can see that there's 50 here or 5, 10 sticks. So and then you don't want to bust and I actually ended up busting and they did not. So you can see that there. That was one of the activities we did for first grade. And then this was our other activity. Remember I just did a half day here. So I was making this butterfly. So they just had to cut out two different pieces and then got some antenna. Now we had about 15 minutes to work on this and most of them barely even got this colored. Most did not get it cut out. So just as a reference, but they're kind of making their own creations. And I guess they're talking about insects right now and butterflies. So this is a relevant activity that they could be doing. So I like to be honest with you guys. And I was really excited this morning. And you know, thinking about this interview next week, I am kind of nervous just because the kindergartners and the first graders, maybe I'm just not used to it because I was with older kids. I mean, I was with some third graders this week. I was first graders. One of the other days and it was also a little bit hectic. But so what I'm meaning to say is like, it just makes me a little bit nervous that maybe, you know, the lower grades are a little bit out of my comp. I don't want to say that. I just don't really know how to explain it. But you know, it's it takes a lot of work to work with first graders and kindergartners. And on the flip side, though, I want to say that, you know, we are about eight or seven days away from the last day of school, or from school being over and being at summer. And I'm a sub so like by default, my job's already that much harder. And then yeah, with the end of the year. So I think they're all just kind of squirrely excited. It's kind of warm today. So I'm sure they're excited to go home. And I only came for half a day. I don't know their names. I don't know the routine. And so I think all those things combined made it a really tough day, both here in first grade and this morning in kindergarten. I don't think that is reflected on my teaching abilities. But it does, you know, put something in the back of my mind to think about as I go into this interview next week. So just just something to think about. But you know, as a sub, it can be hard. It can be. And sometimes, you know, life is not always the easiest as a sub, especially here at the end of the year. It's just it's so hard. So I'm kind of excited though. I mean, tomorrow's Friday. This day is almost over anyways. Tomorrow's Friday. And then it's, you know, we have a long weekend. And then next week, I have my interview and a couple more days to sub. And then the next week, again, a couple days to sub and then it's summer. So time is flying by. And it's crazy. It's going to be crazy for both, especially for subs, but also for the classroom teachers. So I'm going to go. The rest of this day is just getting ready. They have an afternoon specialist. So it'll just be getting ready and going home. So I will catch you guys tomorrow. Happy Friday. So I'm just going to talk quick because I'm in an office and I don't want anybody coming in. But I'll just show you a couple of the things and then a couple of the kids working. This is the schedule of the day. Each group is like about 30 minutes. So it'll be a pretty good day. Good worksheet for nonfiction text. So most of my work has been one on one. So here was the gymnastics article or book that we read. It's a nonfiction text. So we filled this out. I actually filled it out for him and had to do a lot of leading, but at least he had the ideas coming to him. And then this is the one I'm going to read with a fourth grader. And we're also going to fill out the same sheet. And I think it's really good because it gets some thinking about the different parts of a nonfiction text. So that's where I'm headed right now. It's been a pretty nice day so far. I have just two more things and then I'm done for the week. Just played an awesome game that I wanted to tell you guys about. These are cards from the math learning center and they're just subtraction. So basically what you do with these cards is you deal every card out as if you were playing war and all the kids turn over their first card, solve the problem and see who has the most points and then they get all the cards. If you recognize this little wall behind me, it's actually because I was in this position probably about two maybe three months ago. If you look back, I don't even know like three months ago or something, you'll notice that this is the same. This is actually the same exact position that I was in. And I'm working with a couple of different kids, but most of them are the same. And I really enjoy special education when it's working for the learning disability side. I think it's a lot of fun and personally I find it, I mean I'm the sub, so for me as a sub of special ed with learning disabilities, I find it to be like a very nice and relaxing day. Obviously I'm sure not every day is like this, but I find it to be kind of nice and you know I feel like I'm really making a difference on these days. So yeah, I am gonna go though. I hope you all have a fabulous week or had a fabulous week and have a wonderful finish to your school year and I will catch you next week. Bye guys!


Well, I got a lot of things in mind at this point in time. It's going to take a while for me to get acclimated to the job to start with, but I got a lot of things. I got a lot of visions. I don't know if I can get those done any year and a half, which is what my term amounts to, but I've got a lot of thoughts, a lot of ideas running through my head, and I just want to make sure this city moves forward like some other East Kentucky cities have. We have a hard time bouncing the budget every year and we don't have a lot of revenue coming in, and we would just like to be able to extend some revenue processes. I think there's several ways we can do that. Of course, it would have to be with council approval. I want you to know one thing. I'm a painful guy. I believe in the city of painful. I always will. I just want to make sure that the city gets what they deserve.


A fiery horse with a speed of light, a claw of dust and a hearty high of silver, the long ranger. This faithful Indian companion total, the daring and resourceful mass rider of the plains led the fight for law and order in the early western United States. Nowhere in the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great Morse Silver. The long ranger rides again. A long ranger and his Indian companion total headed southward along the trail from Pekas. For two days they had followed the trail of Chet Mifflin, notorious gunman and his three companions who had terrorized the Pekas Valley for several weeks. They looked like Mifflin, other crooks, but no of them being followed. From the way they've kept all the move, it's possible that they're all right, not good. Soon storm comes, rain washway cracks. You'll find shelter before the storm breaks. Come on, sir, we'll get them up the couch. The masked man and Indian took shelter in a deserted miner's shack back off the trail. It was sundown when the rain finally stopped. Then they rode a few miles further and made camp in the hills near the town of Rockville. Tahoe rode toward town to buy supplies. As the Indian approached the edge of town, a commotion broke out at the other end of the main street. Something happened. Get them up the couch. A few moments later, Tahoe pulled to a stop before the bank where a crowd had gathered. They came out to see what they looked like. More band-aids were trying to face it. One of them was taller than the other. We'll get a party. Get it, try to trade with me.  Maybe you're Captain Mifflin. We go tell a lone ranger. Get them up the couch. Tahoe returned to the camp in the hills and told the lone ranger what had happened. If Mifflin and his men are the ones who robbed the bank, it'll cover their tracks well. Ah, sky cloudy. It's soon be plenty dark. Go back to town. I'll go and wait around the cafe until the party returns. Find others that happen to get a line on the crooks. I'll ride with you and wait in that grove in the edge of town. Meanwhile, in a hideout cabin in a hollow, miles the other side of town, Jack Mifflin and his two followers were dividing the bank loop. Ah, conceivably divided. That was about the easiest robbery. We pulled them all the time we've been together. Yeah, that's right, Jack.   The way you walked to the teller's window and made him fork over the cage. I reckon the party's out right now trying to pick up our trail. Oh, we're safe enough. You're too smart for them, Jack. Going out a couple of tracks like you do. Maybe so, but don't forget that Indian I spotted up in Pickers. Well, I told you, ride with a mast on where you'll help the law. If they trailed us down this way, we're not safe yet. That storm covered our tracks back along the trail? I know, but I'd sure like to be sure they aren't too close that they did start after us. Where do I think it'd be a good idea for you to ride back to the cafe in town and sort of look around? Don't you think that'd be kind of risky right now? Oh, I don't. Vernon's sort of average in looks and size. Nobody in town saw his face. He'd be safe enough. Anyway, it's best to know if the party got a line on us. Well, I'm willing to go. We'll hang around an hour or two, then come on back. See you later. At the cafe in town, Huffle stood in the shadows, listening and watching. Finally, the men from the posse entered with the sheriff. Yeah, they sure knew how to cover tracks. Yeah, we lost him without any trouble. Yeah, don't forget, man, it was dark. Maybe if we set out in the morning, we'll have better luck. The group Vernon, who had arrived at the cafe just a short time before the posse, stood at the end of a bar listening with a smile on his face. Yeah, I sure wish somebody had a good look at those groups. Of course, we know one was taller than the other two, but that's no help and spot. Vernon leaned on his elbow and looked around, nonchalantly. Then his eyes rested on Tonto. He noted the fringed buckskins and the fine guns, and he remembered Chet Mifflin's description of the tall, well-built Indian who rode with a mask man who helped the law. The outlaw didn't change expression as he turned away, but he watched in the mirror until Tonto finally left the cafe. Then Vernon walked slowly out after him, then stood in the shadows on the cafe veranda. Ian Chet told us about it. I'm sure that. I'll get back to the hideout until Chet can get right away. Okay, sit. Yeah, sure did. I saw a tall Indian dressed in buckskins and wearing fine guns. He rode away in a big paint horse. He's my crew. That means the two armed regions have told us about did trailers hit. They'll recognize this. I figured I'd better come and tell you right away so we can hit leather before they pick up our trailer to the hideout. Look, we better get going as soon as possible. I'll wait a minute. Let me think, will you? If they manage to trailer this far, it won't be long before they'll pick up our trailer again. They're both plenty smart. All the more reason for hitting leather and getting out of here tonight. That's what I see.  I'm not going to leave tonight. Hey, are you local? Hey, if they find this hideout and tip off the law... Now, look, they don't have any way of knowing we've found out about them being in this neighborhood. When I hear if they do find this hideout, they'll try to move in on us without bothering to get the law. But if they're as smart as you say, Chet, even if we are three against two, it's risky to take the chance of getting the best of them. I agree with Verne on that. I told you, let me think a minute. And I've come up with a pretty good idea. What is it? We'll make the first move against them. Oh, now I know you're local. Look, Chet, Hal and I both agree you're plenty smart. But from what you've told us of those two, I'll show you I'm just as smart as you think I am. I'll listen close and I'll tell you how we'll go about it. Am I listening? Yeah, start talking. Verne, you look like the average type of fella, like I said before. You could easily pass for a cow-cow, for instance. Well, when we came to pull this job, we passed a big spread about five miles back. Remember? Oh, yeah, the, uh, the Bar-C. I noticed the sign over the entrance gate. Sure. Now, I met a fellow in Pecos who used to work at that ranch. He did a six-month stretch in prison for helping run off some of the Bar-C cattle one night. Well, what's he got to do with all this? He told me something about that place. It's owned by a rancher named Calhoun. The foreman's name is Tex Darby. Get to the point, Chet. What's all this got to do with a mast to bring that engine? Yes, this. Verne will ride to the sheriff's office right now, tonight. The sheriff's office? Just one catfish. Thought that would get excited. It'll be all right. Verne, you tell the sheriff exactly what I tell you to. Things will work out just fine for us. Now, here's what I want you to say. Later that evening, the cook, Verne, entered the sheriff's office in town. He was sheriff? Yeah, hardly missed it. That brings you here. Well, one of the cow folks out on the Bar-C spread where I worked brought news of the bank robbery that happened late this afternoon. What about it? I got to thinking when I heard there were three men, one taller than the other two. You mean maybe you've seen them? Oh, and not since the robbery. But early this morning, four riders came along the trail near our spread. I noticed three of them were white, the other a well-dressed Indian. Oh, God. As they went by, I heard one of them say to the Indian, you go into town and see how things are. Then come let us know. Later I went to town and I saw that same Indian hanging around the bank. When I was talking about it at the bunk house, the boys had the idea he might have been a spy for the three crooks who robbed the bank later. Hey, Sunder, maybe you have something there, Mr. Just after the robbery, I saw a tall, well-dressed Indian ride up and listen as we all talk about it. And he must be a spy for the crooks. In fact, one of our men saw the same Indian coming around the cafe tonight, just standing in the shed. Yeah, I wonder. We thought maybe if you watched, he might come snooping around again, maybe in the morning. Then you could grab him and make him tell what he knows. Hey, Jiminy, that's a good idea. We have watched for that Indian, and the minute he shows up in town, we'll grab him on suspicion. But I want you here to identify him as the one you saw riding with those three men this morning. Sure. I'll come back early in the morning and wait around in case you catch it. I wish we had more law-minded citizens like you, Mr. Thanks. I'll see you in the morning, Sheriff. Early the following morning, before setting out to search for the three crooks, Todd will roll into town to the blacksmith's shop to have one of scouts shoes tightened. One ranger, again, waited in a nearby grove. Have your horse ready in a jiffy, Indian. I'm sure he's a fine-looking thing. Yeah, a scout, a pretty good horse. That's the Indian I was telling you about, Sheriff. Yeah, I saw him in the cafe when we went there after hunting for the crook. All right, Indian, you're coming with us. I have some questions to ask you about that bank robbery. You mean a crook? You mean not help Rob Bank? But he must know the man who did. Why do you say that? We'll ask the questions, Indian. But I don't mind telling you that you were seen with three men riding past the bar as he spread yesterday morning by this cowpoke. And you were later seen hanging around the bank a couple of hours before the hold-up. Oh, that's not true. Then I saw you myself when you rode up and listened to what we had to say just after those crooked pals of yours made a getaway. We just come to town, then. We just hear about robbery. He'll try his best to lie out of it, Sheriff. But he's the one all right. He's with a tall fellow and two about my size when they rode past the bar scene. Me not ride with three men. Him not outrude. Look, Indian, if you're calling me a lawyer... Oh, hold it. Don't draw your gun, mister. I want this Indian in good condition to be questioned. Look at those buckskins and those guns. They're rigging it took plenty of cash to buy those. Yeah, maybe he stole them. That pay to his is unusual for an Indian to be riding. Yeah. Give me a horse.  Me. Yeah. Look, he has plenty of cash, too. Yeah, he's a spy for those crooks, all right. Come on, Indian, you have a lot of talking to do. Me not talk. Well, if you don't, you rotten jail. Come on, you're going to the jailhouse right now. The Critten falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger adventure. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Chuck Mifflin's plan was working well. The sheriff listened to the crook burn and Toto was picked up on suspicion and taken to jail. Since he refused to talk, he was put into a cell and left there. Meantime, the Lone Ranger waited in the grove. It's been about almost two hours. This guy is my patient all the time. Disguised and without a mask that might bring questions, a Lone Ranger left the Great Horse Silver hidden in the grove, walked into town, and entered the cafe. Welcome for you, stranger. Oh, no, not right now. I'm looking for someone. Oh, make yourself at home. Did the sheriff and his posse get a line on the crooks who robbed the bank yesterday? Well, I hear they picked up an Indian who would spy on those outlaws. Understand they had him over to jail right now. An Indian? Yeah, I reckon he's in with them all right. He wears fancy buckskin, front-end guns, was riding a big paint horse. I saw him hanging around here last night. You mean they suspect the Indian only because of his clothes and gear? Not only that. I hear a cowpoke from some nearby spread saw that Indian yesterday morning riding with three armories who answered the description of the crooks. I reckon the sheriff will make him talk one way or another. I doubt it. See you later. Still without his mask and with his features disguised, the Lone Ranger walked along the street to the front of the jail where a small group of men were talking. Did the sheriff get him the coat? The old father risked it and said anything except that he doesn't know the crooks or anything about the rubber. Maybe he's telling the truth, Deputy. Eh?  That cowpoke who tipped off the sheriff described that engine even before we saw him right in the town this morning. Where's the cowpoke now? He's in the sheriff's office. I may be able to add something to what he's told the sheriff about the Indian. In that case, you better go right in and see the sheriff. I think that's what I'll do. Well, that red skin still keeps me. What do you want, Mr. Good morning, Sheriff. I heard about the Indian you picked up for questioning. Eh? What about him? Has he talked yet? Oh, yeah. Hold on, stranger. Why did you come in here asking me questions? I thought of a plan that might help you, Sheriff. Oh, is this the man who tipped you off about him? Yeah, yeah. He works out the Bar-C spread. That's right. What, the Bar-C? How's Mr. Calhoun's rheumatism these days? Oh, well, he's getting along all right. I see. Glad to hear it. Eh, look, Mr. if you have a plan that might help. Since the Indian refuses to talk, Sheriff, I suggest you turn him loose and have him followed. He may lead you on your men to the height of the crook. Maybe that's a good idea. I don't think so, Sheriff.  When my friends and I, that is the fellas at the ranch and I talked it over, we figured maybe if you kept the red skin long enough, say, through tonight, his bells might try to help him escape. We could all be watching and grab him. I think my plan is better, Sheriff. He'd be sure to lead you to the height of the crook. I'm inclined to agree with you. Don't listen to him, Sheriff. Do what I suggested. We're sure to catch him that way. Nope, nope, I decided. I'll tip the men off to what we're going to do. Then in a little while, we'll turn the Indian loose and then trail him. In that case, I'm going back to the ranch. I tipped you off about the red skin since you don't want to take my advice. Well, I think letting him go and trail him was a better plan. Well, I hope you have luck. How long? How soon are you going to let the Indian go, Sheriff? As soon as I go out and tip off the posse, we'll keep out of sight until he rides from town. Then we'll trail him. I might as well go tell the men to get ready right now. The whole ranger in disguise went outside with the sheriff. Then while the sheriff was talking to the men, the masked man slipped away from the crowd and noticed that went to the cell window behind the jail, making sure he wasn't observed. He pulled himself up and called to tunnel. Oh. He was savvy. Them saying he spied for crooks. Yes, I know. The man who tipped off the sheriff was lying, of course. I really don't believe he was also lying when he said he worked at the bar sea spread. Ha. He rode away a few months ago. I'm going to trail him. You'll be released and then followed by the posse. Where you want me to go? Pick up my trail and I'll go. I'll follow the man who just left town and leave a clear trail for you. You'll take him one across. He is very possible. Anyway, that's what I hope. Be sure to leave clear tracks for the posse to follow. That's yours. That's yours. The lone ranger quickly went on foot to the grove where he had left silver. Easy peasy. Come on, sir. The lone ranger had seen the quick burn riding from town, as he and the sheriff left the jail. So it was easy for him to pick up Vern's trail. Meanwhile, Vern arrived at the hideout cabin. Oh, ho, ho. You see. Glad working, Vern. It worked alright as far as getting the Indian picked up in jail. Good. Tonight we'll stay in the trees behind the jail. The masked man is sure to go there to help out the police. I'm going to take him to the bar sea spread. He's in the jail. The masked man is sure to go there to help him escape. Then we'll gun him both. That part of the plan slipped up, Chad. What? Another ombre persuaded the sheriff to let the red skin loose sometime soon, so the posse could train him, thinking he'd go to our hideout. Yeah. That Indian will just lead him on a wild goose chase. I'll come and let the other ombre out talk you. Who was he? I don't know. He's a tall, well-built fellow, and I notice he carried mighty fancy guns. What are you, fool? What's the matter? That could have been the masked man I told you about. But he wasn't wearing a mask. Who would have disguised his face and gone there without his mask? If it was the man I'm thinking of, he'd be smart enough to trail you here. Holy mackerel. We've got a van most while we have to change. No. We'll go up the trail a ways and wait behind some big boulders. If he does come along, we'll gun him, then leave the territory. Let's go. The danger soon approached. Just before rounding a bend in the trail, the great stadium's silver threw up his head and snipped the air. The slight breeze blowing toward him had brought the scent of humans. Sensing danger, silver broke his stride and gave a low whinny a warning. Relationship and understanding between the masked man and his horse were close. The old ranger realized that silver had warned him of danger on the trail ahead. He dismounted and led silver in among the trees. Then concealed by the tall, thick underbrush, he cautiously moved off to the side. He saw the big boulders beside the trail, and circling, he soon reached a low rocky ridge above and behind them. He saw the three crooks waiting with drawn guns. Their backs were to him, and just as he stood up and started toward them, the crook burn turned. Hey! The other two had turned and dropped as burn called out. The lone ranger crouched behind some rocks on the slope of the ridge as they exchanged shots. Chatham Cal had knelt behind some thick bushes near the big boulders, and as they waited for the lone ranger to show himself, Chath spoke in a low voice. Cal, throw a letter down and hold his attention. I'll crawl along the brush and try to get behind them on the ridge. All right, Chatham. Chath moved like a snake through the underbrush. While Cal drew the lone ranger's fire, the outlaw leaders slowly but surely made his way in a circle to the ridge. Then moving carefully, hidden by the thick mesquite, he finally reached a position behind the lone ranger. Chath slowly got to his feet, then started to raise his gun. You're not shooting? Big gun. Now let me go. Half-lone ranger. In another moment, Toto was beside the maskman who had just realized his narrow escape. Toto, he came just in time. I should have guessed Mifflin would try a stunt like this. Uh, him pretty smart. Know how to move like a snake. We hear shooting. We scout into the hole. What? There's one more to guess. Only defense is low. I've got to get the drop on it. I heard Chath Mifflin cry out and for a moment became panicky. Vernon with a shoulder wound was useless and Carol realized he was left to carry on the plot alone. He crouched out of sight behind the bushes, then decided to crawl around the boulders and make a getaway. Just as he started to carry out his plan, the lone ranger stepped from behind the boulders. Dr. Gunford. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You and the others are through. I'm all cocked now. Yes. They take these two over the other one with a gully. They tie their wounds and tie them. Let's go. Chath Mifflin and his two pals were brought together. The lone ranger and Carol bandaged their wounds. They had just finished tying them when the posse arrived. We heard the shooting. Great Indian, you two strangers. You must have been in with the crooks. If we were, Sheriff, we wouldn't have wounded them and tied them.  They plug him and tied him. He's not a car folk. He never works with a bar-sea spread. Remember, Sheriff, in your office, I asked about Mr. Calhoun's rheumatism? Yeah, but... I knew Silas Calhoun. He died some months ago. You want to know that? Right. That's right. The moment it slipped my mind. We trailed Mifflin and his two crooked friends to this territory. I'm sure you'll find the tall one is Mifflin. They robbed a bank in town. I noticed a cabin down there in the hollows. Searched for the cabin. Another saddle bag should verify when I tell you. Hey, Deputy, go down there with a couple of men and look around. Right. Within the short time, the deputy and his men returned bringing three horses. Sure, cash still done up in bankwrappers was in their saddlebags. And I found this hand-billing one of them with a description of Chet Mifflin on it. Let me see here. Bushy eyebrows, black hair, mustache, tall, scar on right temple. Yep, that one lying there, Chet Mifflin on it. Mifflin plan having the Indian picked up as a ruse to bring me out into the open, Sheriff. He must have found out we were following him. That's all right. We finished our work here. We leave these crooks in the hands of the sheriff and head back toward Pecos. And we're sure thankful for your help in catching these crooks, Mr. That's all right, Sheriff. Forget to our horses now. Adios, everybody. All right. Hold on. Wait a minute. By the thunder, I have to know more about that Indian than you, Mr. Come back, I say. Oh, dry up, Sheriff. Don't try to put on an ant. What do you mean?
