Going back to the 1930s, there was a rare and brave academic at Indiana University, a sociologist, named Alfred Lindesmith, who became the first prominent scholar to challenge conventional thinking about drug use and drug policy. For that, he was investigated by the Feral Bureau of Narcotics. He was given problems in his university, but he persisted nonetheless. And when I left Princeton to start this institute in the first place, I named it after him, the Lindesmith Center. This award, the Lindesmith Award, a recognized scholarship. I've asked somebody who received this award years ago, Professor Craig Reinerman, co-author of Crackin America, remarkable drug scholar to come up here and present this to the recipient. Thank you, Ethan. It's a great honor and pleasure to introduce Dr. Robin Ruhm as the recipient of the Lindesmith Award. It's impossible to summarize his body of work. His resume and list of publications runs to about 35 pages. It's not an eight-point font like he has it. And these include, just briefly, being the author or co-author of about 25 books by my account. And if I could read the eight-point font here, I'd give you a few titles. Alcohol and Injuries, Drug Policy in the Public, Good, Cannabis Policy, A Cannabis Reader, let's see, Alcohol, Gender and Drinking Problems, the Effect of Nordic Alcohol Policies, Disability and Culture, it goes on and on and on. In addition to this, he is the author of about 75 chapters in other people's books and over 300 articles in scholarly and scientific journals. Now, roughly, for those of you who don't work in academia, that's enough for about five or six careers. He has been the editor of various journals and the director and the senior scientist at the Alcohol Research Group at the University of California, Berkeley, Vice President for Research and Chief Scientist at the Addiction Research Foundation of Canada and a Professor of Public Health and Psychiatry at the University of Toronto, Professor and Director of the Center for Social Research on Alcohol and Drugs at the University of Stockholm, Professor and Director of the Center for Social Alcohol Research at the University of Melbourne. Robin has created a set of remarkable research programs that created the kind of intellectual space in which it was possible to ask challenging questions continually on a huge range of drug policy questions and always bringing to bear beautifully crafted intellectual work, scientific evidence, it appears propaganda and undue myths and enrich the conversation about harm reduction. So, and last but not least, maybe most importantly, he has in five countries on three continents for 50 years, he has mentored dozens and dozens of young scholars in the drug and alcohol field, including myself, Harry Levine Denise Hurd, Jerry Beck, you heard a minute ago, and many, many others. So please help me congratulate the recipient of the 2015 Linda Smith Award, a brilliant scholar, a generous mentor and all-round mensch, Robin Ruhm. I'm a sociologist who has worked in drugs, alcohol, and gambling studies for over half a century, as Craig was just telling you. Let it be a lesson to her, a caution to young scholars that I came into the field for a two-month summer job. I became a sociologist because I wanted to understand social change and how it happened. I'd been active in the student movement in Berkeley in the early 60s and wanted to understand why social change was so hard, why it was so difficult. In the student movement at Berkeley, I thought of myself sometimes as a bureaucrat of the revolution, someone who kept the mailing lists and the newsletters going between the demonstrations and the meetings. In the drug field in recent years, maybe I've had a similar role to be concerned with the nitty-gritty details of what an reformed system would look like. It seemed to us about five years ago that in order to move beyond the stalemate in drug policy internationally, we needed at a minimum to put forward the concrete mechanics of what an alternative future in drug policy looked like. And Craig was just talking about a couple of those studies. You can find them also listed in the program. The main ones were done under the Auspices of the Berkeley Foundation and had some money from the Open Society Foundation. When we did this work, at times it seemed a little bit like a what if science fiction exercise. In tonight's perspective, it seems much closer to being of real use as we move towards defining new realities, though we certainly have far to go still down the road of reform. In my own long career in the field, working so far in five countries, as Craig mentioned, I've had joy, support, and benefit from working with numerous collaborators, colleagues, and friends, both in my own research group and internationally. Our field is unusual in the strong tradition of cross-national collaborative scholarship. It has been true in my generation and it is true also for younger generations that our links have been both near sitting on the steps between our offices in Berkeley with the likes of Jerry Beck and Harry Levine and Craig Reidemann and Roger Rothman and far reaching across time zones and across continents. And I'm grateful for and honored by this award but I also recognize how much what is honored is the product of those collectivities and collaborations. Thank you.


and now we have our nasal sounds. There are three nasal sounds and basically the pattern of air that's moving out of our vocal tract has to do with two big instances and that is a closure in the vocal tract except aside from the plosives and africates what we have is air escaping through our nasal cavity. These sounds include mmm mmm and mmm. We're moving from the front of the mouth to the back of the mouth. First with the M sound or the mmm. We're closing both lips and the air is escaping through the nasal passage mmm. Next we have our N sound or our mmm sound. There the closure is inside the mouth but our tongue is closing up near our alveolar ridge and the air is escaping through the nose. Again that's mmm. Finally we have our NG sound and the closure there is happening further back in the vocal tract and now we're producing a sound such as mmm. It's not a wonderful sound but nonetheless we do need to use it especially with our present participle and our gerunds. Continuing on with the manner of articulation we have our lateral sound. There's only one of them I like to think of it as our lonely lateral sound. The lateral sound is the L sound or L. It's called lateral because the tip of the tongue is placed on the alveolar ridge and air escapes through the mouth laterally along both sides of the tongue. Again that's lateral sounds and mmm. If you try that at home you can get again an appreciation of where the air is going. It's moving laterally along the vocal tract and that's mmm. Finishing off our manner of articulation we have our approximants. There are three approximants and I'll get to those shortly. The reason they're called approximants is because basically our vocal organs are approximately in the middle of our mouth. The big factor here is that there isn't any audible friction. Air is moving freely but the vocal organs are not close enough together to create audible friction. These sounds include mmm. The place of articulation is in the front. However the manner of articulation we have our tongue approximately in the middle of our mouth not causing any vibration with any other vocal organs and in order to produce the sound mmm. Next we have our R sound or our mmm sound. Again there isn't any audible friction within our vocal tract here and it's a very difficult sound to produce. It's very close to the lateral sound but the key differentiation here is that our tongue is not touching our alveolar ridge. It's approximately in the middle of our mouth. One more time that's mmm. Finally we have our y sound and y again is just approximately in the middle there. It's not causing any audible friction. It's y.


Tarzan of the apes from the novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, with Mr. James H. Pierce as Tarzan and Mr. Round Burroughs as Jane Porter. This is an American gold seal production coming to you over the world broadcasting system and associated stations. When Tarzan learns that Jane Porter, whom he has learned to care for, is a prisoner aboard the pirate ship, he swims alone to the ship, releases her, and succeeds in swimming ashore with her. Convinced that her own people cannot take care of Jane, Tarzan takes her into the jungle with him. Meanwhile, Professor Porter and his party and trying to rescue Jane have been wrecked on a reef and all attacked by the pirates. While in the jungle, Tarzan hears a call for assistance from his tribe, the great apes, and goes to the rescue. Now, are you ready? Hold your breath. Holding Jane firmly in his one free arm, Tarzan speeds along the jungle terrace. The apes cries of change from anger and surprise to fear and consternation. And Jane feels Tarzan's speed increase with every death-defying swing or breathtaking leap. Branches bend in grief. South oozes from trailing vines as Tarzan wings his way deeper and deeper into the jungle past. Only Jane's supreme confidence in the ape man's ability keeps her from calling out when, in some dizzy swinging arc, she looks down, down to the shaded depths, a hundred feet below. Are we almost there, Tarzan? Yes, Jane. Hold on. Now we go below. Shooting the action to the word Tarzan drops down through the matted and twisted screen of violent creeper. Jane opens her eyes as she feels Tarzan land on the moss-strewn jungle floor. There are crows, fangs, baird and dripping sheath of the leopard. And between his braced four legs, a baby ape. Ranged in a circle, afraid to draw closer, the great ape watched the huge cat. Sheath of the fine hairs on the nape of his neck bristling stands tense. If he lowers his head to pick up the baby ape, the tribe of Tarzan will rush him. If he turns back under the cross, he's a force of his prey. Following his prior challenge, Tarzan leaps across the intervening space. Sheath of the curved his lips back, opens his flipping door and roars the fire. Tarzan, Tarzan, Tarzan! That cat like Tarzan, Tarzan, Tarzan! The ape away while he kills sheath. The leopard points at the swimmer. Tarzan ruffles pregnant for the spring. Tarzan leaps, comes down for him, he's doing it. Tarzan's night rises and falls. Sheathah holds an agony of the red-hot scabbing pain, shoots into his body, sinks into Sheathah's side with a scream. Sheathah tags limp. Tarzan rises to his feet, places his foot on the carcass, beats his chest with fresh pits, and gives the victory cry of the bullies that has made his tail. Oh, great Sheathah. Sheathah's too quick. Yes, I understand. Sheathah leaps like stumb dums. But what is stumb dums? Tarzan shakes his head. I ask you to regime the wild, weird, post-eating dance of the apes. This beyond the megapower of their English vocabulary. Again the apes urge about their leader. They leave the tribe and head in the direction of the clearing and the hut. Strrianded on the coral reef by the foundering of their small boat, the packing under Lieutenant Don bin D'Arna Ou al staging the best defence they can. We found more ammunition. I haven't anything. Feel your unpack then? Find them sea-spiny for the moment until they get cross-air. I couldn't restrain my curiosity. Oi! You'd love to bang you up. Perhaps we'd better give up and trust to their mercy. Trust nothing, we must fight on, Monsieur. I particularly would like to drop that right-faced knife. I shall be guided entirely by the choice of the majority. And then, force the issue first. Without ammunition, Dono. Come closer for a penalty. All right, button of your tricks. What time shall I make, Monsieur? Quickly before they arrive. Affirm, can you make a mean, don't you, Dono? Sure, if they will take us ashore. Why, even pirates! Will you do anything you do, Dono? Here they are. Well, I'll know. What are your terms, Snipes? What do you expect? To take us ashore first. That'll all right, don't I? Just what do you mean by that? I don't like the way you say it. I... I see it. No arguments. I've said your name. There is that. Well... Listen here, Snipes. I advise you to keep a civil tongue in your head. Easy, Clayton, easy. We're in a bad situation. No use making it worse at the moment. And one thing more, I must request of you, Snipes. And then... Swap! Very well, Captain Snipes. There is one thing I must request of you, however. Professor Porte must be excused from any physical labor. No, no, I insist upon carrying my share of the burden. Hush, Archimedes. You're in no fit physical condition to work. Well, we'll fear about that when we get much stronger. And furthermore, I must request of you. I'll buy it down. How is this guy to be making conditions? Yeah, that's right. Come on, all of you. Get into the boat. We'll take your sword. Look here, Snipes. One word all you, mister. And you'll get some flumin' antelode on. That's too much. Let me do to me. You rusted, leaky, both of theirs out toward the arrow. Say, did you guys get the dame? No. Snipes just scared off came aboard us and jumped overboard with a dame. Gosh, I don't want to make that guy any more. You have, monsieur. Shall we continue our fondly? This ain't no parley. I'm telling you what to do. Perhaps Tarzan can help us, Lisa. There ain't going to be no late. You're going to dig up the old coast if necessary. But I'll have that treasure. Then what happens to it after we have found the treasure? Oh, so you know where the treasure is? No, no, no. You mistake me. I mean it. Oh, never mind what the old joke means. If he knows, so much for better. Besides the whole gang, a lot I can dig in. And if they don't, if we find the treasure, I suppose we'll receive our share. You see, I have a great responsibility. You're out of here. What? Say, boys, didn't you? Off to your find and your van, boss, you'll do. Brave man, aren't you, Snipes? I told you if you drop that gun when we get a shot, I'll break every body and sleep for heaven's sake. No violence until Darno has a chance but he hasn't been able to do anything so far. Get down back there. I don't want to hear no more. Fullway, he gets to the top of the next wave. Got the little hut in the clearing. Tarzan and Jane emerge from the jungle. Why, Tarzan, the hut looks deserted. Father Clayton, other's not here. No, it looks that way. Tarzan, no. If Tarman and Gany stay here. Yes, of course. You can catch that stem spore. I'd forgotten that for the moment. Jane, go inside? Yes, but pal in the corner. Not come back since Tarzan, go to boat on feet. You mean they haven't been here since then? No. But you went alone, out to the ship. They didn't go. No, boat all broken. Then where can they be? Tarzan doesn't know. They must be down on the coast looking for me. Better not stay here, soon dark. Better go back to the jungle. Yes, Tarzan, you're right. I'd much rather be with you in the jungle than be here at the hut alone. Come then. Nothing here, Jane. No, all right. Just, what's that, Tarzan? That's the noise I heard once before when stuff of a lie was done by the head man. Dum-dum, little more, begin. The pulsing throb of the great ape's earthen drum penetrates to the farthest corner of the jungle. In the forest depths, the tribe of Kerchak gathers about the sacrificial mound of earth and twigs. And Tarzan, the jungle, once more claiming him for its own, sweeps Jane off her feet and starts off to join in the ceremony. Human, dum-dum, the Jane is to visit. And what of Clayton, Darna, and the other?

Happy New Year. First vlog of 2020. Everyone's having a great year so far. Monkey's been very, her dad's been sick again. He's back in the hospital. Penias. So I'll show you how mine started out on January 2nd of 2020 in this clip right here. That's right. Apparently I got a pill that, well I take, I take four pills and one of these pills keep plaque from building up in my arteries or whatever, you know, keeps the plaque down. I guess it's very important. I've been without them for like, I don't know, a week. I didn't say anything because I didn't know it was one of the important pills, right? So, and I take two of those. So I take, take one of one, that one, then I got to take a baby aspirin. I take those once a day. So apparently that was a real important one because as you've seen in the video, yeah, had another stroke. So on Sunday, what, the fifth? Monkey was going to set up and sell some stuff because we figured I'd be getting out later on that afternoon or evening and I did but she gets a phone call. Her dad had to go to the hospital. He's having chest pains, right? So they're admitting him when they're releasing me and he's, he's on the same floor. I was in the, I was at the first time on second floor, but this time I was on the floor floor. But he's not doing good. They're wanting to bring hospice in and all that. But anyway, so he goes in the day I get out. So she's trying to work. She's trying to deal with all this stuff. So hopefully 2020 will be a better year. So I got to go to Gainesville tomorrow to the big hospital. It's called Shands. So I got to go there. I get to get a five hour test done. It's a nuclear stress test. That's what they're calling. So I've actually got three appointments in the same place. Ones at eight, ones at nine and ones at nine and 30. So, but it's a five hour test and I hear it's, it's pure hell. I don't know. They're not even sure if I can make it through it. It's a stress test, but you don't run on the treadmill. So they go up through your groin and do this stuff. So anyway, they're not even sure if I can make it through that or not. And if I can't, you know, then we got to go to plan B, whatever that may be. Them guys know what they're doing up there. So I don't know. But anyway, I'll bring you along for some of the ride there and probably the ride back if I fill up to it. But we'll definitely, we will definitely let you know what's going on. So I haven't been able to sell. It was super cold yesterday. So I didn't get to sell. Her aunt, monkey's aunt and uncle are down here from Canada. So they're going to stop by and visit us Thursday, I think, Thursday or Friday. One of them two days, maybe Thursday. So I can't remember nothing, but they're going to stop by and see us because her mom and dad are now in our town and they're only five minutes away. So anyhow, that's how it's going so far. So I got the peanut video. You guys will see I'll make the peanuts, but I won't be able to do an outro because I did an outro, but the it's a corrupted file or something anyway. I can't, it's there. And I know that's the file, but it won't play on the camera won't play on nothing. So I don't know what happened there. So I'll show you that video too. So anyway, just an update on what's going on here. So I'm not really allowed to do much right now until after we find out what's going on up a chance, what they're going to do, what I can and can't do because they also, they say, you know, I've been overdoing it. I can do some things, but I have to do it very moderation. I can't like, you know, work on three or four weed eaters and get them all running in one day. That's not good for me because pull, pull starting them, chain solves, whatever. That's real hard on me. And I got to be careful if I get cut. Also, when I burnt my hand, see it's healed up now. But if you get an open wound, like if you cut yourself, I cut my fingers, two of my fingers in the same day. Well, your body's natural reaction is to clot that blood, right? So it tries to send a clot to, to that, that part that you're cut, right? You know, so you're not bleeding as bad. Well, if that happens to me, the clot can't stop because through my left and right, left and right ventricle or whatever, the hole there won't let that clot go to where it wants to send it. It sends it to my brain. So I still got blood clots in my brain. So that's what's going on there. So anyway, that's what's happening. That's the update. I'll give you an update. I don't know if I'll be, if you'll see it tomorrow, but I'll do the best I can to try to get something up for you. If not, it'll be Thursday. So, and then I can get back to selling and doing what I need to do. The lights are all down. Monkey took all the lights down except for the ones up on the roof. And she won't let me get up there and take them down. So she said, we'll get somebody to do it. No, I'll do that because I shouldn't be on any ladders or anything. So not good. But anyway, we're just going to keep on keeping on and we're going to go from there. So I'll just keep you updated and I'll upload what I can, when I can. I got some things I can do to upload for you. Maybe I'll get something out of the archive. So this month so far, it's not been great, but it's going to get better. 2020 is going to be a great year. Hope you guys have a great year. Everybody stay cool. Keep in touch. Keep watching our videos. Hit the like button. If you haven't subscribed yet, please subscribe. It would greatly be appreciated. So with that being said, guys, I'm going to say once again, happy new year. Y'all be cool. And we'll chat at you soon. Shaber of Mythman Legends. I'm gone for now. Bye-bye, guys. Thanks for watching my vlog.
