Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Bing Crosby in Sing You Sinners with Ralph Bellamy, Elizabeth Patterson, and Jacqueline Wells. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer is your Cecil P. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. An old song and a happy coincidence gave the Lux Radio Theatre its bill for this week. The song was a French-Canadian ballad that I'm planning to use in my new picture, Northwest Mounted Police, and the coincidence was that Bing Crosby knew it by heart. A few weeks ago at Paramount, I was listening to a phonograph record of the song and outside my office window, a familiar voice took up the chorus in pretty good French, too. So I leaned out the window and invited Bing to come in through the door, of course. And before he left, we'd arranged for his appearance here tonight in Sing You Sinners, the chronicle of a happy-go-lucky chap named Joe Beebe, played by our national model of happy-go-luckiness, Mr. Crosby. All of you who saw Paramount's pet picture will be pleased to meet the Beebe family again, being, of course, as the same part he played on the screen. Ralph Bellamy is Bing's hard-working and very, very unhappy-go-lucky brother. And the other Beebe's of Sing You Sinners are represented by Elizabeth Patterson and Charles Peck. Ms. Patterson, in her original role of the mother, and Jackwell and Wells will play Martha Randall. Like all good American families, this one sticks together. The loyalty I know they share with our listeners. The familiar sight of Lux Flakes in your home is a symbol of your friendship for this program. And this well-merited confidence in Lux Flakes by millions of our friends is the thing that keeps the Lux Radio Theater on the air. The Beebe seemed to have a natural gift for getting into hot water. But, hey, they have the saving grace of humor. And with Bing Crosby among them, a liking for melody. Romance is present in the person of the girl who lives down the street. There are people who are glad to have you drop in on them anytime. So we'll quietly raise the curtain on the first act of Sing You Sinners. Starring Bing Crosby as Joe, Ralph Bellamy as David, Elizabeth Patterson as their mother, Jackwell and Wells as Martha Randall, and Charles Peck as Mike. When a good mother has stood for hours over a hot stove so that her three sons may have a healthful and appetizing dinner. And when those three sons are late, as usual, and the dinner is slowly being cooked away to nothingness, the good mother has a perfect right and privilege to bang the pots around. Mrs. Beebe is banging her pots right now. Don't even be fit for the dog. How to know better am I now to try and fix something decent for her? Is that you, Dave? That's me. Hello, Mother. Hello, Mother, my eye. I suppose it'll never mean a thing to you that when you say you want supper at six o'clock, I expect you to be here to eat. Sorry, Mom, but I had to work overtime. Fella came in late with a break-relining job. What's for dinner, Mom? Don't touch that pouch! Oh, it's hot. Told you not to touch it. Pot roast, huh? Why can't we have macaroni sometime? Because as long as I'm cooking, we'll eat for our health around here. You know macaroni makes Joe fat. Yeah, it's not macaroni, it's lack of work. There's Michael. Every time he comes in, the pictures fall off the wall. Home, all. We hear you. Hiya, Dave. Hello, Mike. Hello, Mom. What are you doing lately, going to night school? Oh, what makes you say that, Mom? Hey, what's for supper? Don't touch that pouch! Ouch! Oh, pot roast, huh? Joe's favorite. Say, why don't we ever have hot dogs? I love hot dogs like my own life.   Okay, okay. What were you doing, Michael? Why were you so late? Oh, I was studying at the library. Studying? Studying what? Oh, about the world and stuff like that. You know. Yeah, we know. Here I am, Mom. About time, too. Hiya, men. Hello, Joe. Hello, Mom. How are you? Where were you? Oh, I was looking for a job. Yeah, at the pool room. Now, that ain't kind, Dave. Well, Mom, what goes on the menu tonight? Don't touch that pot!  Well, fill my mouth its pot roast. Yes, and sit down. For it dries up and blows away. We don't get a little more order around here. I'll never cook another bite, so help me.  Michael, where are you going? I want to get the ketchup. Get the chili sauce while you're out. Bring the mustard, too, Mike. Yeah, I already got it. Oh, dear.  Take some of that cauliflower, Michael. Oh, more. It smells like old laundry. I said take some cauliflower. Okay, okay. Well, Dave, I saw you driving Martha home today. Boy, you weren't saying a word. Just driving along stiff as a poker. Pass the rolls, will you, Joe?  Joe, be quiet. You'll keep your yapshot about, Martha. What's the matter with you? All I keep saying is, why don't you marry the gal? You're not done well why I don't marry her, because you haven't got enough vinegar to pitch in and help keep this family going. Say, listen, can I help it if there's nothing in this burg for a guy with ideas? What ideas? Outsmarting some chump at the pool hall for a couple of bucks, or swapping the shirt off your back for a brass go-knob. All right, all right, go ahead. Razz me all you want about swapping. But you can't show me a big man in this country today who didn't get where he is by swapping something for something or something. Dave, you shouldn't lay into Joe that way. Why don't you go ahead and do what he tells you? Sure, get married and then find out you can't take care of yourselves after I think I'm set, and all thanks. Well, now listen, let's quit talking about it. I'm only trying to tell you what I did this afternoon. What? Well, I got us a job at a dance in Pleasanton. You got a... Oh! Listen, Joe, how many times do I have to tell you I don't want any more of that trio stuff? Well, it's a job, isn't it? Is that the only kind of a job you can get when we have to drag Mike and me in on it? All right. I don't like it any more than you do, but what am I going to say when a man offers us 15 bucks? Yes, what should he say to me? Now, look, Joe, I work in a garage. See, I got a decent job and I like it.  Me, too. I build up a tough recitation working out horses to the fairgrounds all summer and then bang! You shove an accordion into my hands and turn me into a buster brown. You keep quiet. Now, look, Dave, see, I know how you feel. You feel the same way as I do about singing. Oh, is that so?  You won't play or sing because you're men. What's the matter with you? Men sing? I don't care, Mama. I won't do it. Me, neither. All right. Hold things off. It is not all. Now, get this straight, all of you. As long as you can earn a nickel by opening your trap so squeezing the music box, you're going to do it. When's that dance at Pleasanton? Tonight. Well, start getting dressed. Now, listen, Mom, I got a date with Martha tonight. Take Martha to the dance. No, I won't do it. Will you see about that? I'll let you see. I say you're going all of your stuff.  No millionaire, but I'm not the type to care.  I wouldn't take all the wealth of Wall Street for a road where nature tries and I calculate that I'm worth my weight in golden rods. Lucky, lucky me, I can live in luxury because I've got a pocket full of dreams. Millionaire, but I'm not the type to care because I've got a pocket full of dreams and it's my universe even with my empty purse. I wouldn't take all the wealth of Wall Street for a road where nature tries and I calculate that I'm worth my weight in golden rods. I hated to drag you all the way out this way. Don't be silly, Dave. I liked it. You may not like what's coming next. What's the matter, darling? Well, a fella just called from town. There's a truck stalled out on highway number nine. You mean you've got to go out there? Well, I could pick up ten dollars pretty easy, Martha. And every nickel counts on that house we're going to build someday. We'll build that house all right. You wait and see. Sure you won't mind, honey. As a matter of fact, I insist. I'll need that ten dollars for drapes. It's sort of like a dream, isn't it? Yes, but that truck isn't. Hurry up now and get it on store. Okay, I'll get Joe to take you home. Wait a second. Joe! Hey, Joe. How you are, Dave. Here's the pickings. Say, that's pretty easy dough for two songs. Yeah, look, Joe, do me a favor, will you? Take Martha home for me. What goes? I've got a job to do. I'll take Mike along to help and you can have the car. And here, here's a buck. You can buy her a sandwich and coffee on the way. Thanks. Say you're getting kind of generous with your little girlfriend, aren't you? You can't trust your own brother. What do you say? Sure. If you're willing to let her go out with me, why should I squawk? Give me the keys to the car. Here, and take it easy. I want her back in just one...  Oh, I don't mind. It's all for a good cause. Dave and I'll make up for it someday when we're married. Whenever that may be. Don't tell me, I know. Soon as I get a job and hold it. Why don't you, Joe? You could easily. Oh, just not my style, that's all. When money comes my way, it's gonna come fast and plenty. You wait. I am waiting. I'm not exactly on your side at that, though. It's too bad you aren't my girl. What? I wouldn't worry about the family until after the wedding. Then I'd have you, and nothing else would matter anyway. Oh, I wish Dave felt that way. I mean, sometimes I do. But unfortunately, you're not my Lily, except for tonight. Well, here we are. Here we are, Claire. Well, Dave told me to put the feedback on for you, didn't he? You mean we're going to that joint over there? What do you mean, joint? That's the finest roadhouse in these parts. That's the old straggle in. Straggle in and stagger out. Listen, I don't even come here with Dave. Well, that's all the more reason why you should see it. Touch of nightlife's good for you. Do you think Dave would mind? Dave, why should he squawk? It's only his girl and his money. What's wrong with this place? All right, restful. Don't you think so? Folks, folks, I really think that with a little bit of a flaw, I'll have action here tonight. But I'll hold it against you. Step right up, Joe. Thanks, Miles. What'll it be, fella? Well, let's take a whack at that... Don't let that moon get away. Wait for me on the curve. Right. Uh, Professor? A one, a two.  Hey, who ordered the drinks? Compliments to the bartender. Thanks, Barnett. I can't drink this stuff. Oh, you have to. Now that's compliments to the bartender. Here you are, miss. Here you are, Joe. Well, now what? Compliments to the band leader. There's another round coming up from one of their customers. Oh, ma. Well, I'm beginning to see where music has its good points. What's so funny now?  Well, those are for you. Oh. As a matter of fact, you know, if you weren't Dave's girl, I'd tell you I love you. You don't love me. You're just feeling good. Oh, it's the same thing. How do you feel? Fine. A little excited. That's love. It is not. It's compliments to the house. I'll bet you know what I bet. I'll bet we'd get along like a million dollars. What do you like that Dave for anyway? Oh, I don't know. Lots of reasons, I guess.  I'm, uh, I'm a lot of laughs. Well, see, see there? I haven't hardly opened my mouth and I'm a riot. Oh, you, riotin', allie, allie, one two three four five six seven hundred beats take! Old Joe BB delivers him safe and sound a little bit late. Dave. Well, well, well. Hiya, Pappy. You been waitin' the entire hours? Yeah, where were you? While he was takin' in the sights. Just showing the little woman what she's missin' by marrying you. You're drunk. He didn't buy the drinks, Dave, they just kept giving them to him and asking him to sing. All right, Peppy, I'm lit. And I took your girl out and I showed her the first good time she had since she started going with you, so what? If you weren't my brother, I'd... I know, you're America's big brother.  Why don't you get wise to yourself, you big chump? Why, you... Dave! Oh, Dave! I... I didn't mean to do that. All of a sudden, I... go on inside, Martha, I'll see you tomorrow. He didn't... he didn't realize what he was saying. I know, go on in and I'll take him home. Good night. Good night.  I didn't mean it, Joe. Oh, you should have hit me harder, Dave. Why didn't you hit me harder? You know what I'd do with a guy like me, Dave? I'd prop him up against the wall, I'd shove my face right through his fist, vice versa. Why didn't you hit me harder, Dave? I'll be quiet.   Go inside, I'll get you to bed. I can't see anything. The bed's right over here. I found it. Quiet! Hey, Joe, Joe, what's the matter? Mike, get out of here. Well, what... Gosh, what happened to you, Joe? Well, I got what was coming to me, that's all. I'll beat it, go on. Does anybody slug you? Are you okay, Joe? Mike, get out of here before you wake up, Mom. He's in trouble, Amy. I gotta help. We don't need you, Mike. Now, go on. Scram. Duck. Okay, okay, Joe. Come on, now.  Oh, Dave, sometimes I turn into such a heel. I surprise even myself. Do you know what I was trying to do tonight? Move in on your gal. How do you like that? Give me your foot. I'm glad you clunked me, Dave. You don't have to worry about Martha, boy. She's all for you. I'm all for both of you. Give me your other foot. You think I'm no good, huh? I'm gonna surprise you, though. I'm gonna fix it so you can marry Martha. Now, you watch me, Dave. You know what I think of what you've done for me and for this family? Never squawking unless somebody gets way out of line. Oh, you're the kind of fella I want to be, Dave. I know. Come on, now. Get under the covers. Did I tell you about my surprise, Dave? Did I tell you? Yeah, you told me. Good night. Oh. Good night, Dave. Good night, baby. Good night, Joe. I heard him opening and closing the drawers. We can't be going. Where would he go? All right, Mom. Calm down. I'll speak to him. He was out all day looking for a job. Bill Hutchkins told me. He was trying to get a job doing anything. Hello, folks. My Joe, you packed a grip. Yeah, I'm leaving, Mom. Why, Joe? Well, you don't have to ask me that, Mom. I'm going to Los Angeles. I'm gonna prove that I can amount to something and I'll send for you in Mike the minute I get set. But we want you here. I know where I belong. Now, please, Mom, don't ask me to stay. All right, Joe. But not even for dinner. It's hot roast. Lift over. Sorry, Mom. Give us a kiss, huh? Joe. Well, Dave, I'm gonna ask you not to leave, Joe. Me, too. Well, thanks, men, but this is what I want to do. Whatever you say. You know, Dave, we don't see things the same way, and I'm getting wise. Now, I just don't fit into this town. So I'm gonna go where I can do the family some good. And you're gonna be surprised one of these days when I send for the folks, and I'm gonna give you the OK on marrying Martha. If that's why you're leaving, Joe, you don't have to. Well, I know what I'm doing. Well, you'll need some money. Oh, thanks. This is on me. So long, Dave. So long, Joe. I'll be seeing you soon, Mom. Oh, Joe, I wish you wouldn't... Oh, I got to. Goodbye. He finally made his break. I'm sorry he did, but I... I'm glad, too, because it'll bring out the fight. I know he's got any. His paw was the same way. He just drifted along without a worry in the world till you boys started coming. Then he dug in and worked till the day he died. God bless him. I'm going upstairs. Good night, Mom. You know, Mike, you don't realize until he's gone how you feel about him. Night, Mike. Good night. Gee, this is the darkest family. In just a moment, Mr. DeMille brings you act two of Sing You Sinners with Bing Crosby, Ralph Bellamy, Elizabeth Patterson, and Jacqueline Wells. During this short intermission, I'm going to make a little demonstration for you, and Sally has brought along a friend of hers to help me. She's Mrs. Bertha Aldridge of Hollywood.  That's right, Mr. Ruick. Any children? Oh, yes, two. That's very nice. Now, Mrs. Aldridge, I'd like to ask you a question. Do you recognize this package I'm holding? Well, of course. It's a box of luxe flakes. I don't know it anywhere. Yes, it's the familiar luxe package, but there's something different about it. Well, what do you mean? Inside this box is a wonderfully speedier luxe. It's the new quick luxe. Oh, I know all about that, Mr. Ruick. I think it's really amazing the way new quick luxe suds up in just no time at all. Why, I used to say luxe was so wonderful, they couldn't improve on it, and now they've gone and done it. A lot of women have said the same thing, and it's true. We couldn't make luxe any safer or purer, but for years, the luxe laboratories have been working with a wonderful ingredient that gives suds faster, and these new luxe flakes contain it. That's why they're speedier. Look at them. See how sheer they are? Uh-huh. You can actually see through them. Now, I'll put them into this pan and pour in some water. See? Just as I said. Look how fast the suds come in just a second. Yes, Mrs. Aldrich. New quick luxe bubbles into suds at the touch of water. In water, as cool as your hand, and that's safe temperature for washing your nice things, it actually dissolves three times as fast as any of ten other famous soaps tested. Flakes, bars, beads, or chips. Now, here's something else. New quick luxe also goes further. It gives you more suds ounce for ounce than any of the other soaps tested. So, you see, it's thrifty. Really thrifty. And that means something with a family of mine. Well, it's good news for any family, especially since new quick luxe doesn't cost you a cent more. Your grocer has it now in the same familiar luxe package. Get the generous large size box. Now our producer, Mr. DeMille. Back two of Sing You Sinners, starring Bing Crosby as Joe, Ralph Bellamy as David, Elizabeth Patterson as Mrs. Beebe, and Jacqueline Wells as Martha Randall. Long months have passed, and nothing has been heard from Joe since he left home. At last comes a telegram for Mrs. Daisy Beebe. Dear mom, pack up Mike's other shirt and hurry to Los Angeles. I'm in the smart shop business and cleaning up. Tell Dave to get married before Martha realizes her mistake. Love, Joe. Mike! Mike! Joe's got a swap shop. He wants us with him. We're going to Los Angeles. Come and get here. Hiya, mom. Oh, Joe. I'm so glad to see you. Hello, Joe. Hiya, Mike. Well, you sure did it, didn't you? Look at that suit he's got there. Oh, you look good, Joe. Oh, you betcha. We're riding high now. Hey, uh, red cap. Get those bags, will ya? Want a cap, sir? Why, sure. Why not? A cap? Oh, boy. Come on. Say, mom, why didn't Dave get married for you last? Well, he just wanted to be sure that everything was all right here first. All right, sir. Oh, Joe, I'm so happy. Where do you live, Joe? You got a swimming pool? Oh, not yet, kid. Give me a couple of weeks, will ya? I'm saying to see the house, Joe. Oh, the house? Well, we're not going home right away, mom. We've got to make a stop first.  But, Joe, what is this place? It's a racetrack, ain't it, Joe? Hold your hats, folks. Okay, driver. You can wait. All right.  What in the world? Right over here, mom. Howdy, Mr. Joe. Morning, Felder. How's the big horse today? Oh, he just fine, Mr. Joe. Ha-ha. You hear that? He's getting to know you. Hiya, Gus, old boy. Joe, will you please tell us? Folks, I want you to meet Uncle Gus, the grandest racehorse that ever peaked through a bridle. Racehorse? Mm-hmm. Oh, gosh. Mom, if you ever looked your fortune in the face, there it is. There's the horse that's going to carry the three of us right into that field of clover. You mean it's ours? Really ours? Front and back. Oh, boy. Why, Joe, do you mean to tell me that you can afford to keep a racehorse out of what you take in at the swap shop? Swap shop? Oh, well, I haven't got that anymore. I swapped it. You swapped it? Mm-hmm. For what? Uncle Gus. But where are you working? Well, right here, training Uncle Gus. Do you get paid for it? No. Well, where do you make your money? Well, I'm not making any right now, but as soon as Uncle Gus starts racing, there'll only be a couple of months we'll start talking about racing. Joe, do you realize that you've sent for us? Told Dave to get married? Told us to sell the house? Well, there's nothing to worry about, Mom. Things might be a little tight for a while, but I got a nice little house, two months rent paid in advance, credit at the market, credit for Uncle Gus's seat belt. Sure, he don't need a job. We got a race horse. Can I ride Uncle Gus, Joe? Can I be a jockey? Such a trip. Joe, are you crazy? What are we going to do when your credit runs out? Are we all supposed to go back home and move in on Dave and Mom? Well, that won't happen. Now, believe me, Mom. You've got to take a chance if you're going to amount to something and my chance came. Yes. Your chance came, and you traded yourself right out of it. Just the same as you've done ever since you were old enough to have a thought in your head. And now what? Where do we go from here, big shot? Don't worry. Now, whatever you do, don't worry. Say, you got a dollar for... Filter, I got to keep him eating, you know. Oh, dear. Just a dollar will be enough. Thanks, Mom. Here you are, Filter. Pork chops tonight. Thank you, sir. And keep old Uncle Gus in good shape. You stay right under them hind feet. Yes, sir. All the time. Come on, Mom. So long, Filter. So long, Boss. You want me to stay here, Joe. Don't you think I ought to stay with Uncle Gus? No, I think we better be going home. That is if Mom's got the cab fare. Now, listen here, Joe. Oh, Mom. Now, stop worrying.  We're talking about this living room. That's the dining room over there behind that screen. It isn't much of a place, I know, but will you stay, Mom? Please. There's nothing else we can do. And remember this. I'll say, well, stay. Look at me, Aunt Uncle Gus. I'm coming around the turn. I'm coming like a house of fire. I'm way ahead. Stop it! Stop it! I say, remember this. As far as Dave and Martha are concerned, you still have the swap shop and you're earning money. They mustn't find out the truth, you understand? Yes, Mom. Because no matter what happens to us, you're not going to ruin things again for them. Can you imagine that? All upset when we got us a racehorse. Mom, if I didn't know you so well, I'd... Oh, quiet, quiet. Yes. I'm afraid we all know each other too well. What's the supper, Mom? Ouch! There's a stew for supper as usual. Well, did you get that fool horse entered in the race yet? Now, Mom, fool horse. That's fine talk after he just breezes three-quarters and one fourteen flat. Breezes one fourteen. I asked you a simple question in plain English. When is Uncle Gus going to run? In a couple of weeks. We've got to wait for our spot. It's been a couple of weeks for the last two months. Michael, I told you not to clean those jockey boots in the kitchen. Now, we're going to leave this house like we found it. Oh, Mom. That's right, isn't it? We're going to get kicked out of here in three days, aren't we? Yes, in three days.  Do you realize we won't even have a roof over our heads? Yeah, but a couple of weeks we'll be right back on top again. Yes, on top of the bread line. Oh. Answer that, Michael. Tell him. Tell him we'll pay him next week. Okay, I'm getting good with that yarn. It's just one thing I can be thankful for. There is a Dave and Martha don't know what's happening here. Dave ever found out? Oh, settle down, Mom. Now settle down. Nobody's going to find out about anything. Hiya, son. Well, looky here. Hey, Mom, it's Dave and Martha. Oh, honey. Oh, my. All right, Mom. Now, all right. I don't know. Well, I mean, act just like those letters you wrote. Everything's fine, get it? Hiya, Joe. Hiya, Dad. Hello, Mom. Oh, Dave and Martha. Hello, Mrs. Beebe. Well, are you married? Are you on your honeymoon? Better yet. We're going to be married here. Oh, that's so sweet of you. I did so want to see the wedding. Well, that's what we thought. The whole family, you know. Say, Dave, have you heard the news? Joe's got himself a raise. Oh. What's the matter? Hiya, Michael.  It's so darn fidgety. Go on. Go on. Well, how do you like the house here? Oh, it's quite a place. We're going to build ourselves pretty soon. When do you have to go back? Oh, in four or five days. Oh. What's wrong? Oh, nothing. Only we are moving in three days. What's the matter with this? Well, it's kind of small. Say, you must be a one-man riot in this town. Anyway, I'm not proud. How about getting married right here, huh? We'll feed somewhere so nobody'll have to cook. Wine with a grub, maybe, huh? That sounds great. Yeah, it'll be kind of nice all being together. Oh, say, Joe, I got a laugh for you. I brought our old instruments along so you can dump them in the swap shop. The accordion, the clarinet, and your guitar. Sure feel good to know they're gone, huh? Yes, won't it. Hey, look, Dave, look at me. Our own colors. Hey, Michael. What's the idea of the jockey suit? Look, Dave, look. I'm coming in a stretch. It's Uncle Gus by your head. Uncle Gus by your ears. Uncle Gus pulled away. Look at me go. Hey, what is this? What's the idea? I wanted to tell you. I'm a real apprentice jockey now, and I'm going to run Uncle Gus that Joe traded for a swap shop. And I'm going to win on him, too. Nick. Because we got to win on him. I kind of get kicked out of this place. Couldn't you stay and see me ride? Dave, can you?  Well, Joe, what about this? Well, there's nothing much to tell. Except we got this Uncle Gus instead of the swap shop, and we got a chance to make a lot of money, too. And you're going to get kicked out of here. David, I... I don't think we ought to burden Martha with any family trouble. This is a great thing to walk into after planning like we did. Martha, would you mind stepping outside a few minutes? Certainly. But, Dave, no matter what happens... Please, Martha. All right, darling. Now, David, I think... It was nice reading in your letters how well Joe was doing. Well, I thought it was better. Better? To lie instead of telling me the facts that Joe's no better than he ever was? That he can no more take care of a family than he can fly? Well, they're all right now. What are you using for money? Well, we... We have credit. Well, and who's going to pay off? I am. Soon as my horse starts running. Joe, if I thought I'd do any good, I'd knock you. All right, sit down and let's have it straight. Where do you stand and how long can you hold out? Well, it's like this, we... What's the bad news? Can you imagine a guy like that sending for his family? They're broke gone. Worse than that, they're $400 in debt and not a chance to pay off. Mother and the kid living on beans. What are you going to do about it? Well, there's only one thing to do. Stay here and get them straightened out. And me? Maybe it won't take long, Martha. You'll only wait. But why? Oh, let's be married tomorrow, just as we planned. And I can stay here and help. Drag you into this mess? Marry into a family that won't even have a place to hang its hat? I'll try to get a job here. I will get one. That'll help some...  But marrying you now, moving in on a lot of trouble, I'm not going to do it. I understand. You don't think the way I do, Dave, and never will.  You'd only know that you loved me and wanted me, and nothing on earth could stop you from having me. Martha. You'll never get this family set. They won't change, and I love them for it.  Trouble in all. You'd... you'd better find that out in a hurry, Dave. Good-bye. Martha. If he ain't upstairs, where'd she go, Dave? Go on. I don't blame her. Go on. Why? After what you've done, you pull that. Joe, if I did half what I wanted to do, I'd kick you all the way back to Stokesbury. I've lost Martha. I'm losing my job on account of you, and now I'm darn near losing my mind. Now grab that guitar and stand up. What for? Go on. You too, Mike. Get your accordion. What do I do? It's not what you did. It's what you're going to do. Now play. Play what, Dave? Play anything. Okay, okay. Joe, you sing. Oh, now let's sing. Now, come this horn down your throat. A pocket full of dreams. Now, we're going to practice, see? We're going to get going, and we're going to get a job. It's my universe. I'll put this family in a seat where I have to break everybody's leg doing it. Because I've got a pocket full of dreams. Oh, there! Pocket deal. My, my, now you put down that cigarette. Biggest catfish in the sea. You practice packing all day long to some old radio songs.  You better listen to your part. Someday practice up on the log. And then you'll be a real success. Yes. Small fry.  Small.  Seems I should take you close my knee. You ain't the biggest catfish in the sea. You got your feet all soaking wet. Lord, you'd be the death of me yet. Oh, me, oh, my. We're not at work in this joint. I feel more and more like cutting my throat. Yeah, but when Uncle Gus wins tomorrow, wins for sure thing. I hope. What do you say, Mike? Joe, I've been excited. It's so long thinking about riding Uncle Gus that now I'm kind of shaky. Ah, but don't you worry about me, though. I'll be all right tomorrow. Where you going? I'm out of here. I said he wanted to see me. I'll be back in a couple of minutes. What would the manager want to see Mike for? Come in. Oh, come in, Mike. Yes, sir. Hey, come here. I want you to meet a friend of mine, Harry Ringmer. Hi, son. Yes, sir. I'm glad to know you, sir.  He works for me here, and he's got his jockey papers to ride his brother's horse. Sit down, kid. What's the matter? You nervous? No, no, sir. Just, well, you know, riding my first race tomorrow. Mr. Ringmer's got a horse in that race, too. Mr. Bank. Oh, yes, sir. Mr. Bank's a good horse, but ours is better. Well, maybe so. You think you'll win, huh? I gotta. Why? Well, we already caused my brother Dave a lot of trouble and his girl and... Oh, just family reasons. Oh, that's too bad. How do you mean?  For instance, the rail. Well, what about the rail? Well, when you hit the stretch and the other boys start crowding you, it's tough going. I've seen a terry kid's leg right out of the socket. Throw him under the horses. Well, I ain't afraid. You really need the dough, don't you? We sure do. Well, there's a way of turning a race into a sure thing sometimes. You know what I mean? That's what my brother Joe likes. A sure thing. Yes, sir, that's good. I ain't got a smart brother, kid. He knows what he's talking about. He's smart, all right. Sure he is. And we can help your family out plenty by taking your brother's tip. No worry about losing the race, no risk, no nothing. Just play the sure thing. Huh? Now, look, you got $400 coming to you if you win. But suppose another horse crowds you. What if you get pocketed and shoved up against the rail? What do you got? Nothing. Now look, did you ever see one of these before? Oh, no, sir. $100 bill. Well, that's yours and three more like it tomorrow if you don't win. If I don't win? Hey. Yeah, like your brother says, the sure thing. You want to help your family, don't you? Well, yeah, yeah, sure I do. Okay. Al, would you mind stepping outside for a minute? Not at all, Harry. Not at all. Thanks. Now look. Hey, Al, you seen Mike any place? Oh, yes, yes. He just went back to the dressing room, I think. Thanks. Oh, Joe, wait. Huh? Uh, how do you think Uncle Gus will do tomorrow? Oh, he'll win, of course. You think so? Can't miss. If you were a gambling man, I'd take you up on that. I'm sorry, Al. I don't bet. What kind of odds? Two to one. That's as good as you'll get at the track tomorrow and maybe better.  You ought to be a little more careful with your dough. This Uncle Gus is a sure thing. Yeah, that's the way you feel.  Anyway, I couldn't bet if I wanted to. I haven't got to die. What difference does that make?  You can pay it every week. Al, you serious about this? Sure. I want to bet against your Uncle Gus. I'll put up plenty, too. Well, Al, I wouldn't do this only...  Well, sure thing's a sure thing, I guess. Okay, it's a bet. The curtain falls on act two of Sing You Sinners with Bing Crosby, Ralph Bellamy, Elizabeth Patterson, and Jacqueline Wells. Mr. DeMille brings you act three in just a moment. Before our stars return, I want you to listen to a sound over the air and guess if you can what it is. You ready? Did you recognize that? Well, it was an elastic rubber band being stretched, then snapping back. Now, every woman in our audience would, I'm sure, like to stretch her budget, make her pennies and her dollars go further. Now, that's one reason for hurrying to your groceries tomorrow and buying some of the wonderful new quick luxe. New quick luxe is thrifty. It goes further than any of ten other leading soaps tested. Ounce for ounce gives more suds. Why is that? It's because new quick luxe is so rich and pure. It hasn't any fillers. It hasn't any alkaline builders. It's a fine, pure soap. All right, that's one way new quick luxe is thrifty. Another way... Why it helps keep all your washables new looking longer? Why take stocking? New quick luxe will cut down on runs. And undies. It removes perspiration completely but leaves the colors lovely. And sweaters and dresses. In fact, everything that's washable at all stays lovely looking longer when you use gentle luxe flakes. So stretch your close budget by doing this. Tomorrow, when you do your marketing, get a big box of this wonderful product. Your grocer now has new quick luxe. It's in the same familiar box. It costs no more. You'll like its speed, its safety, and its thrift. We pause now for station identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. We continue with the third act of Sing You Sinners. The afternoon of the big race. Three minutes before the horses go to the post. Just outside the jockeys dressing room, the gambler Ringma waits for Mike. As the boy comes through the door, Ringma grabs him quickly. Just a second. Hello, Mr. Ringma. How do you feel, kid? Fine, fine. That other 300 bucks is waiting for him? Yes, sir. And you know what else is waiting for you if you try to get funny? Well, what do you mean?  Remember that? Yes, sir. All right, now beat it. Yes, sir. Hey, boss, hey, boss. Well, Peter, did you get the bet down? Yeah, sure. I got the whole three grand covered at two to one. Nobody got wise. It was my money, huh? No. We get six grand and sucker money the minute Mr. Mike wins. Are you sure that jockey and Uncle Gus won't cross you? I'm scared to death. I don't want to pull anything smart. My jockey will take care of him. Let's go, piece. Hey, this is the only way to bet on the net. Two minutes. Everything OK, Mike? I guess so, Joe. Don't get excited. Just pretend it's a regular workout, see? Of course, don't get so wrapped up that you're going to forget and it's a race now. But you know, sort of, well, you know. Yeah, Joe, yeah, sure. What's the matter? Are you feeling funny? Oh, no. The only reason we want to win is the money, ain't it, Joe? We sure need the money, don't we? We need the money, all right, in more ways than one. How? How else do you mean? Well, I wasn't going to tell you because I didn't want to get you all upset, but I went out and bet our next ten weeks pay against $2,000 that we'd win it. You did? Oh, Joe, this is awful. Why? Oh, I know it's wrong, but I was only trying to do like you what we said. The sure thing, Joe, you know, the sure thing. What did you do? Well, the man that owns Mr. Bank has given me $400 to lose the race. What are you talking about? Oh, it's terrible, ain't it, Joe? Well, we needed the money, and like you said... Oh, quit telling me what I said. Oh, but lots of times...  Right is up. Come on, get up there. Look, Mike, lean down here a minute. Well, you know, I've done some wrong things myself. See, plenty of them, but what you've done is cheating. Can't you see that? I... I got mixed up, Joe. Oh, I know, Mike, but whatever we do, we can't do anything crooked. We mean too much to each other, this family and everything. See, if one of us gets in the jam, we're gonna hurt all of us. What have Mom found out, Mike? I... I see what you mean. I... I just didn't have it straight what you meant about the short thing. Yeah, I guess it's all my fault. Here I am trying to tell you what's wrong, and I'm out betting yours and Dave's share a 10-weeks' pay. Oh, that... that's not wrong. You were just trying to make money for all of us. Well, I wish you wouldn't feel that way about me, Mike, because I'm wrong lots of times, but I gave you this bad steer without meaning to it. Maybe it'd be better if you figured these things out for yourself, huh? Whatever you say is okay with me, Joe. All right, then.  But I already got that $100. Where is it? In my boot. I didn't know where else to hide it. Well, give it to me. I'll... I'll take care of this.  Go on out there and win this race. You'll stick with me, won't you? You'll stick with me if anything happens? You're darn tootin'. Oh, that's swell. You just watch me. We'll show you. Me and Uncle Scott. Everything, Joe. Oh, everything's great. Fine. Don't Mike look cute settin' up there all alone? That's fine. Uh, hey, Dave. What? Dave is liable to be troubled if our horse wins, or will he come round to barn after the race? Why? Well, Ringmer's payin' Mike $400 to lose the race to Mr. Bank, and I just told Mike to go on out and win it. Well, why in the world? Shh. Now, it's all my fault. He thought he was doin' what I'd do. He's just tryin' to get some money for us. Listen, what's so important about this race? Personally, it doesn't amount to a hill of beans, and we haven't got any bets. Or have we? Well, yes, Dave, we have. How much? Look, Dave, I hate to tell you this. How much? Well, 10 weeks salary. 10 weeks salary? Now, don't get sore. Don't get sore? How to break your neck? I know, Dave. I know. See, what are you two talking about? Uh, nothing, Mom. Nothing at all. We just... Oh! Uncle Gus is third on the outside by length and one-half. Sam Turry is fourth by two lengths and fair trial. Turning into the back stretch, Mr. Bank is front by half a length on the inside. Sandy Man on the outside is second by length and one-half. Hold it, Mike! Step back, kid! Hide him, Mike! Sandy Man on the outside is second by half a length. Uncle Gus is third between horses. Sam Turry is fourth, and Uncle Gus is moving up on the inside as Mr. Bank is front by length and one-half. Uncle Gus is second by length and Sandy Man is third. At the three-quarters, he's out to win. He's crossing, your boss. He better not. I tell you, he's trying to win. Uncle Gus is second!  He won't cross us if he does out. They're coming into the stretch. It's Mr. Bank in front by length and one-half. Uncle Gus is second by length and one-half. It's Mr. Bank and Uncle Gus, and they're driving hard. They're head and head. It's Mr. Bank and Uncle Gus. They're coming down to the finish now. You sure did all right, kid. Oh, I was scared, Joe. They shoved me into the rail, so I shoved my eyes. But I won, Joe, didn't I, huh? Oh, it was great work, Mike. Hey, hey, look. We got nothing to worry about, see? Just keep going. Hello, kid. Nice race.  I'll take care of this, Mike. There you are, Mr. Ringler. This belongs to you, doesn't it? The next time you get some extra money, you'll have to find a better way to spend it. We don't go for that. Oh, yeah? That's right. I'm glad you like the race. Come on, Mike. Come back here, you. I'll leave that kid alone. Grab this guy, Pete. No, you don't. Hey, listen, Joe. Look out, Joe. Why you... Now, kid, I'm going to teach you... Let me go, let me go. Run, Mike, run. Hey, Dave, help.  Take him, Dave. All right, sucker, you. All right. Keep after him, Dave. I got him. You tend to your own cooking. I got this guy. Dave, Joe, look out. Go on. Get out of here. Beat it. I got to help. Let go of my... Oh, you bite me, wouldn't you? Oh, but, Mom, it's a bite. Can't you see? Oh, Dave. Dave, Joe. Are you winning? We ain't... Yes, mister. Yeah, yeah, I got enough. Let me alone. Okay, now. Go on. Boy, I guess we... We took him, all right? We sure... We sure did. We sure... Dave, go on.  What do you want to go and do that for? Oh. We got to figure this out. We won $2,000 on the bet. That's right. 425 on the win. Uh-huh. And $37 that we saved up before. Yep. That's 7 and 5, 12, 6. 2,462 dollars. Yes.  Come on, all that's out. We're quitting tonight. But why? Well, Dave's pulling out to see if he can get set somewhere. I figured we'd take Uncle Gus East for the big races. We don't need music anymore. I see. Keep moving. That's the ticket. New faces. New places. Maybe buy another horse. Hi, Joe, and start a big time stable. Hey, that's not a bad idea. We'll be in that winner's circle in Kentucky one of these days, boy. Well, suit yourself. You're on your own now. It's a cinch. We're really going to town, huh? Oh, quit money, Joe. You haven't asked me what I'm going to do yet. What do you mean?  Dave's going one way and you're going another. Oh, but with you and Mike. Not with me. Huh? I'm telling you. I've raised the three of you, and I know you'll never amount to anything unless you stick together. Now what happens?  What if Uncle Gus gets a stomach ache? What have you got then? Even Michael can't talk about anything but race tracks and horses and sure things. What's he going to grow up to be? Now, I mean it. If you boys walk out on your job, I'm walking out on this family. Oh, Mom, you're crazy. Thank you. Well, I don't mean you're crazy, but we know what we should do, Mom. All right. I'm leaving. Oh, but Mom... Mom, you shouldn't act like that. You need someone to take care of you. Oh, I can take care of myself. Don't worry. Oh, but listen... Maybe we can figure this thing out, Mom. Not the way you're figuring now. I'm going upstairs and packed. Well... See, I wonder what's come over her. She sure acts like she means business. Well, I guess there's only one thing to do. Telegram, miss. Sign here. Oh, thank you. Dear Martha, we are going to stay in Los Angeles singing. Please come back and marry the four of us. Love, Dave. I wouldn't take all the wealth of Wall Street for a road where nature troves and I calculate that I'm worth my way in golden rocks. Oh, lucky, lucky me. I can live in luxury because I've got a pocket full. Our stars return for their curtain calls. But now I raise the curtain for big news. The story of the most dramatic test ever made of dishwashing soaps. You see, we wanted to prove scientifically just how gentle and kind new quick blucks is to hands. So here's what we did. We made a unique test, a one-hand test with hundreds of women in a scientific laboratory under impartial conditions. Each one of these hundreds of women came to the laboratory and sat down at a table, on which there were two dish pans. One dish pan contained luck suds. The other contained suds from some other well-known soap. Now, the women themselves didn't know which was which. They put one hand in each dish pan, dipping them in and out of the suds just as you do when you wash dishes. They did this for 20 minutes three times a day, just about the time it takes you to wash dishes. Every day, experts checked on the condition of each woman's hand, noted whether the skin was dry, coarse, red, or whether it still retained its soft, smooth texture. I think it's safe to say that no more impartial test has ever been made of the effect of dishwashing soaps on the skin. Every condition was equal for each soap. Five leading soaps frequently used for washing dishes, including lucks, were tested. And here are the results. The difference between the lucks' hands and the hands placed in suds from other soaps was truly amazing. Scientists reported that in case after case, while the lucks' hand remained smooth and soft, the other hand looked red and rough. From women making the tests came words like these. I knew lucks was wonderfully gentle, but these tests proved to me that it's much kinder to the hands than the other soaps tested. New quick lucks for my dishes. From the scientists conducting the tests came this verdict. From these results, it's obvious that under comparable use conditions, it can be correctly claimed that lucks is milder than any other soap tested. Now you yourselves can prove this very same thing if you'll try new quick lucks for your dishes. You can avoid red, rough housework hands. Your hands can stay lovely, soft, white in spite of dishwashing. So change to new quick lucks for your dishes tomorrow. Here has it now, in the same familiar box, at no extra cost. It's so fast, so thrifty, and so marvelously kind to hands. Here's Mr. DeMille with our stars. The BB brothers restored to their original identities of Bing Crosby and Ralph Bellamy are back again at our microphone. And a red letter day for Bellamy, thanks to both of you. Well, DeMille and Crosby are always fixing to please, Ralph, but what have we done now? Well, in the movies I play in, the other guy gets the girl. In the radio theater I get the girl. It's the happiest day of my life. Here, here, now this can't go on. A villain for Bellamy next time he shows up, CB. Or he'll be floating off into the clouds. Bing, I've always thought we might have you play a villain sometime. Let me hear how menacing you can sound. Well, I'm going to give it to you straight, partner.  Odd or even. Well, from here it looks like an even number one, CB. The radio editors of the United States and Canada have just voted the Lux Radio Theater the best dramatic program on the air in the annual poll conducted by Alton Cook of the New York World Telegram. Not much menace in that. No, I'm afraid you won't do as a villain, Bing. But I assure you that the staff of the Lux Radio Theater is grateful for this tribute from the radio editors. As reported by the hero who has just been voted, radio's leading popular singer by those same editors. What's the show next week, CB? Next Monday night, Bing. We're going to have Ginger Rogers and Joel McCrae in the RKO screen hit, Bachelor Mother. The plays a delightful story of a girl who finds a baby on a doorstep. It's an adventure that leads to romance for her and a gay and thrilling evening for us. That's Ginger Rogers and Joel McCrae and Bachelor Mother. Next Monday night. Well, you keep getting shows like that and you'll win all the polls there. So long, CB. Good night. Good night. Drop round and serenade us still again. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night when the Lux Radio Theater presents Ginger Rogers and Joel McCrae in Bachelor Mother. This is Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. Curd in tonight's play were Arthur Q. Bryan as Ringler, Blue Merrill as announcer, Emory Parnell as manager, Edward Marr as Pete, Jack Carr as filter, James Eagles as steward, and Frank Couglin Jr. as telegraph boy. Bing Crosby appeared by courtesy of the Kraft Cheese Company. His most recent picture was the star maker for Paramount and he has just completed Paramount's Road to Singapore in which he co-stars with Dorothy Lamour and Bob Hope. Ralph Bellamy recently finished the Columbia picture His Girl Friday and is now working at Paramount Studios in The Woman from Hell. Our music was directed by Louis Silvers and your announcer has been Melville Rui. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.


Hello, and welcome to this presentation of the STM8L series of 8-bit ultra-low-power microcontrollers addressing cost-sensitive applications. The STM8L series is part of ST's 10-year Product Longevity Commitment Program for STM32 and STM8 microcontrollers. The ultra-low-power platform is comprised of MCUs ranging from 20 to 144 pins and from 2 to 1,024 kilobytes of memory. Both the STM8L and STM32L families share the same ultra-low leakage process technology and the same philosophy in terms of architecture and peripherals. Our STM8L series is our entry-level 8-bit solution offering the best price-to-performance ratio. It is based on our proprietary STM8 core operating at 16 MHz featuring memory sizes from 2 to 64 kilobytes of flash and current consumption down to 0.3 microamps in the lowest power mode. Customers can upgrade performances with the STM32L series. The STM8 proprietary core is a high-performance core with advanced and innovative Harvard and CISC architecture, 16-bit index registers, an internal 32-bit memory interface and 3-stage pipeline in order to align performance and code compactness. The STM8L portfolio offers ultra-low-power devices with 20 to 80 pins and 2 to 64 kilobytes of flash memory. Shown here is the generic block diagram for the STM8L. It includes the STM8 proprietary core at 16 MHz and embedded flash memory, system RAM, data EEPROM and boot ROM. Which peripherals are present depends on the package and memory size that you choose from the portfolio. This diagram represents the superset configuration. Those features marked with a star are only available in the STM8L15X. Here we present the power consumption for the different modes of the ultra-low-power families. The two dynamic modes run from flash and RAM. Then there are the four ultra-low-power modes, low-power run, low-power weight, active halt with RTC and halt. In all modes, the RAM content is preserved at wake-up and the reset system is included in the consumption and active mode. Consumption can be as low as 300 nanoamps with reset system, active RAM content and context preserved. Wake-up from halt is very fast at 5 microseconds. It's easy to develop on STM8L thanks to the many hardware tools available. Discovery kits are ideal boards to start with for STM8MCUs, allowing full access to STM8 programming with a single connection to the development PC and at a very low cost of $7. Evaluation boards are more expensive, but they put the STM8L microcontroller among a full set of companion chips matching the STM8 peripheral set, so granting the ability to fully evaluate the MCU. Finally, our ST-Link V2 probe allows the programming and debugging of the STM8LMCUs connected to the probe via our single wire swim protocol. For software tools, ST provides a free STM8 configuration tool with user-friendly GUI, which helps developers significantly reduce development effort, time and cost. As part of the STM-CUBE initiative to reduce development effort, time and cost for engineers, ST offers STM8-CUBE-MX, a user-friendly software tool that uses graphical wizards to configure STM8 microcontrollers. An STM8L microcontroller must be programmed. Therefore, an integrated development environment is required to compile and debug an application. STM8L users can choose from the portfolio of ST partners like Cosmic, IAR, iSystem or Resonance, or can simply use the STVD IDE available for free from ST. This free IDE can be easily complemented with the Cosmic-C compiler that is also completely free, whatever the STM8 MCU. Once the binary is built, the user can use programming software tools like our STVP or ST-Link utility, for instance, accessing the STM8L either through a probe like our ST-Link V2, or directly through the built-in STM8L bootloader feature. An IDE is used to debug an application typically by setting breakpoints. While this debugging method is very efficient, it's not ideal when it's not recommended to stop the application, for example, a motor control application. In such cases, a tool like our STM Studio is very useful as it can monitor application variables, possibly without being intrusive at all. Developers' lives get better if they are provided with embedded software bricks to speed up their application development. ST proposes many of these bricks for the STM8. Among these bricks, our standard peripheral libraries include not only all the software drivers to benefit the STM8 peripheral set, but also a whole set of examples demonstrating how to use the STM8. Moreover, these libraries are created using rules ensuring good code quality. Get connected with our STM8. Of course, the first place to go is www.st.com.stm8 in order to grab all ST information relative to this MCU family. If you're not sure about the exact STM8 to pick, you can use our MCU Finder application on mobiles and tablets, allowing you to check out the STM8 portfolio and identify the ideal one matching your needs. Let's meet together with other developers on ST forums, with an area dedicated to STM8. The STM8L is simple and smart. Discover more about the STM8L at st.com.stm8l. Thanks for your attention.


Often there's this pressure that if you need to have a system it needs to be complicated. On YouTube or on Instagram we often see the pressures of people's elaborate techniques to how they study, or perhaps we're inspired but also overwhelmed by how people track their days using very complicated apps. But sometimes the most effective ways of doing systems like studying and time management as a student is keeping it as simple as possible for you. For example, when I think of my own time management system I sometimes will have a complicated system of combining things like Notion and Google Calendar, but now being a new dad and a cardiology fellow sometimes I don't always have time to implement the system well. The flip side of what I've found is using a simple system like simply keeping my to-do list on something like Google Keeps or Google Notes and simply saying these are the things I need to do next week. I'm going to move two or three things over to the to-do section for today in the order that I want to do them. So today I have some emails that I need to write and as I do them I just simply take them off. So if you're struggling with any system as a student before you start looking at what amazing things other people are doing, ask yourself if it was the most simplest version that I could implement starting now, what would I do? Often you'll come up with an option that works effectively for you and you can ignore the rest.


Hello and welcome to Station 204. It's me, Jared, and it is time for your holiday edition of this week's Space News. Now we're going to be talking about Starlink and also the weather and traffic reports, but Boeing's missteps on their first flight of Starliner? Yep, that's where we're going to start. This is not the kind of story that you want to see, but it happened. Starliner had an anomaly during its test flight. Here tomorrow we firmly believe in all ships rise with the tide. When one of us does well, we all do. When one of us falters, we all do. Aerospace is an incredibly tight-knit community, so I can assure you that no one, absolutely no one, was pleased or out dancing in the street at Starliner's problems. The aerospace industry is not the split factions of talking heads that we see on the internet. We're a family all working towards the same goal, getting people off of this planet. The launch of Starliner couldn't have been any more perfect. The United Launch Alliance Atlas V, flying for the first time in an N22 configuration, was a gorgeous sight, leaving Space Launch Complex 41 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on December 20th at 1137 Universal Time. N22 designates three things, N meaning no payload fairing as Starliner sits alone on the top, the first two indicates the two strap-on solid rocket boosters were attached, and the final two refers to the Centaur upper stage having two engines. Unlike SpaceX's Crew Dragon, which is placed into orbit by the Falcon 9 launch vehicle, and then uses thrusters to catch up with the International Space Station, Boeing Starliner is placed by the Atlas V into a suborbital trajectory. This is done in order to help aid any forces and keep those forces minimal on the astronauts in the event of an abort. After separation from the Centaur upper stage, Starliner's own thrusters then kick in to place it into orbit, which it then can catch up with the International Space Station. It was at that point immediately at separation when things began to go wrong. The mission elapsed timer was incorrect by an absurdly incredulous 11 hours of time. This led Starliner to think it was in an incorrect phase of the mission and burned through a large amount of its fuel for orbital maneuvers. Attempts were made from mission control to override Starliner's confusion and initiate a burn to catch the ISS, but a blackout with NASA's tracking and data relay satellite system prevented them from getting the commands to Starliner in time. That detail of being in a blackout with NASA's TDRS system is a pretty puzzling one. I mean usually you've got assets on the ground that help prevent things like that, but we are still rather early in the investigation as to what actually went wrong. Remember in aerospace it takes quite a long time to go through all the data and try to figure out what actually happened, but of course rampant speculation that takes no time at all. Starliner did fire its engines and place itself into a stable orbit, but it ended up using up too much fuel. So much so that it couldn't perform a rendezvous in docking within NASA's safety parameters for the ISS. Now that was the largest objective of this test flight, but there are some important things to remember here. First of all there was no loss of vehicle and the problem could have been detected, thwarted and corrected by astronauts that would have been on board of Starliner. And in addition to that there was no likelihood of loss of crew, so that means Starliner actually did perform correctly in its biggest priority, which is to keep the crew on board safe. But even with the safety of those astronauts secure, Boeing still didn't make it to the ISS with Starliner and they are definitely deserving of all the flak they've been getting for them. Now there's still a lot to do such as tests of propulsion, power and life support systems on board of Starliner and if you go to space you got to make your way back. The mission was originally planned to last for eight days, but it was abridged to two and landing was set to occur at White Sand Space Harbor. After a successful entry that subjected its heat shield up to 1600 degrees celsius, Starliner landed at 1258 universal time on December 22nd. Successful parachute deployment along with those airbags saw Starliner become the first American capsule to touch down on land. Ground crews were put through their paces and recovery efforts and had the capsule open approximately one hour after landing. NASA astronaut Sunita Williams who will command the next mission of this specific Starliner capsule said that she was going to name it Calypso. So there you go everybody the capsule it's already been named. So Boeing had a major screw up they're in their test flight of Starliner but hey that is why you test in order to figure out where are all these problems going to happen. Although most of the time you hope that the problems don't end up happening especially ones as big as what happened to Starliner. Now NASA has not said whether they're actually going to have Boeing refly a uncrewed test mission to actually have Starliner dock with the International Space Station. NASA has specified that they didn't say that you needed to do so before you could put a crew on the vehicle but I don't know here. We're going to have to wait and see and when we do find out we will let you know. Now to go from Starliner to talk a little bit about Starlink here is Jade Kim. It's a Christmas miracle. SpaceX is officially taking the first steps towards cooperating with the astronomy community by testing out a less reflective coating on one of its 60 Starlink satellites set to launch later this month. In an attempt to preserve the night sky's observability for astronomical viewing this experimental new coating could perhaps be the solution to what was shaping up to be a crisis in the astronomy community. With 120 satellites already in orbit and up to 30,000 additional satellites slated to launch with potentially 42,000 in orbit at a later time professional and amateur astronomers alike were understandably shaken at the prospect of having the night sky considerably washed out. And that's not even considering the several other mega constellations in the plans. And with the large synoptic survey telescope set to receive its first light in 2020 astronomers want to make sure that its much anticipated observations are as unimpeded as possible since the LSST will be the primary asteroid hunting telescope for humanity and you have to take imagery for that at dusk and dawn when Starlink satellites will be at their most visible and intrusive. Now there are still a few tests this special new coating still needs to pass such as how the reflectivity is going to alter the satellite's thermal performance but if successful this may be the very solution we need to be able to eat our satellites and have them too. Happy holidays friends of tomorrow. Time to get into our space traffic report now we will be omitting Starliners launch because we already talked about it but even without that let me tell you we still got a lot to cover. Heading down to the Guiana Space Center our dose of some rumble in the jungle came courtesy of a Soyuz STA booster lifting off on December 18th at 0854 universal time. Going into polar sun synchronous orbits the upper stage fired six times to deploy payloads into three distinct orbits. Of those payloads Cosmos SkyMed second generation one an Italian radar surveillance satellite was deployed along with the highly anticipated European Space Agency space telescope characterizing exoplanet satellite known as CHIOPS which will look at previously discovered exoplanets from NASA's Kepler and test missions and examine them in much greater detail. Lifting off from the Taian satellite launch center on December 20th at 0322 universal time a Chinese Long March 4B placed a collaborative remote sensing satellite between China and Brazil called CBERS 4A into orbit successfully. Also deployed was the first satellite flown by Ethiopia which will perform agricultural forestry and resource management data gathering. And here are your upcoming departures and now to talk about this week's weather in space here's Dr. Tamatha Scove. Space weather this week has been a bit calm but it's beginning to pick up a little bit as we switch to our front side son you can see there's a small coronal hole that's rotating into the Earth strike zone. Now this coronal hole we've actually seen probably the last three or four rotations in fact it actually did bring us up to storm levels at least a couple of times but unfortunately now it's beginning to close so we're not really going to see the kind of fast solar wind that we've seen from it in the past. It has bumped us up to active conditions for a few hours but it's really looking like it's already beginning to subside. This means we've got aurora at high latitudes but you amid latitude aurora photographers you're likely going to have to sit this one out. Now after this coronal hole rotates through the Earth strike zone there's really not a lot else going on except if you look at the east limb in the northern hemisphere look at that bright region that's beginning to rotate into Earth view this region actually is a new region from the new solar cycle and for just a brief moment it actually did become a sunspot you can actually see it in white light. Now unfortunately it looks like this region's already beginning to dim a little bit so I doubt it's going to get a new designation from NOAA however it did for just a fraction of a moment become a sunspot and that is good news for amateur radio operators and emergency responders who are begging for solar cycle 25 to hurry up and come on. Well this is another sign that yet it is coming along and as we switch to our backside sun you can see that region as it began to really kind of evolve starting late on the 17th and early into the 18th. Now again you can kind of see it beginning to diminish just a little bit but we are going to keep our eyes on it because it could potentially boost the solar flux a little bit and increase the dayside propagation for all of you HF operators.

Live from San Francisco, it's theCUBE. Covering IBM Think 2019, brought to you by IBM. We're back at IBM Think 2019. Dave Vellante with Stu Miniman. Lisa Martin is also here. John Furrier will be up tomorrow. We're here at Moscone North. Stop by and see us. Raj Nagarathnam is here. He's a distinguished engineer, CTO and director, cloud security for IBM, hybrid cloud. Raj, good to see you again. Thanks for coming on. Good to see you, yeah. You're in all the hot places. Security, cloud, hybrid cloud, lot going on in your world. Absolutely, lots going on. I mean, I think we see a lot of enterprises moving to cloud and like IBM says, there's a lot more to move, right? Just 30% is out there, but security's top of mind. So you're right, it's a sweet spot. What is cloud to people? Because you guys define cloud as sort of a, what I would say, we would say a cloud experience, not a place, but sort of how you operate. But what do customers think of when they think of cloud and hybrid cloud? Definitely, so in terms of as our customers from them, anything that they can consume as a service is a cloud. So from a SaaS perspective, we do have IBM and others have SaaS properties. But in this context of discussion, my area of focus is as enterprises build applications. It could be enterprise applications. It could be their consumer facing applications. So as they look at that landscape, how do they take advantage of cloud and cloud platform where they can build it maybe on premise with a private cloud or they can take advantage of a set of services and seamlessly integrate into a public cloud or multi-cloud, right? So ultimately it's about their applications, how they leverage the benefit. Security was always a big concern, especially in the early days of cloud. You mentioned that we're in the next phase of the journey, we've hit the 20%, the low hanging fruit, so to speak. But even then early on, especially security was a major, major concern. Won't those concerns heighten as you start moving more mission critical workloads into the cloud? They do, they do. Like you said, rightfully over the last couple of years, I mean, definitely early on it was, even if you roll back to many, like two decades back, when web came along and people need to expose what they had in their data centers as a web application, it was a journey. Now we have crossed that point where everything becomes web application. So that's kind of the journey for cloud that is taking place, where it was a concern. It continues to be a concern, but not so much. People there is risks, there are controls that people have put in place to come over the risk and they trust providers like IBM and others because we do a lot more controls in place and we have an army, if you look at how we host many customer applications and help them, then it's better than many times what a particular company can do just for their application. So from that viewpoint, security concern is kind of, they've gotten over it, but to your point in chapter two, it becomes a lot more. So how do enterprises, enterprise risk, the data becomes kind of the core part?  You know, five years ago, it was like, oh wait, I'm not sure if I'll do cloud because security, now I understand. Cloud is an opportunity for me to change security, but absolutely, security is such a huge concern. At least in the companies we talk to today, nobody feels safe. It's not a question of if, but when you're going to be attacked and how you're going to deal with this. So give us a little bit, how do we make sure that enterprises can live in today's security climate and not be totally paranoid all the time? That's right. Security is not the binary thing, right? It's not like you're secure or unsecure. Is it secure enough from a risk perspective, right? So when you look at data, so are you dealing with sensitive data, private data, or mission critical data and how do you protect it? And are you taking the right steps? Like you rightfully said, cloud is an opportunity to do security right. Many times in the past, app teams will build apps and throw it over the wall for the security team to secure it. That has changed. We need to put security up front as part of the entire process. As we think about it as dev and ops, now it is more important to be security as part of it where you have dev sec ops, so that right from as you design it, build applications and build and operate, so that application teams have equal responsibility and accountability as you operate cloud, not just hey, I'm going to throw it away and I get a security team to do it. So that collaborative model between a line of business and application team on one end and the security team and operations team on another end, kind of the classic IT, come together and cloud makes it possible. What's the role of the line of business in that equation, Raj? Is it to sort of set the risk profile, the value of the data? Talk about that a little bit. Yeah, line of business thinks about, obviously from their perspective, what data they deal with, what business they're in. It may be retail banking on one end, or it could be payment processing on another end. So they're looking at how fast they need to reach the data or bring the applications to the cloud for their consumers to reach a digital transformation that they're going through, right? So on one end, they are going through digital transformation. On the other end, the security team from a typical security officer perspective sets policies if there are certain regulations that you need to follow. What kind of data can be put in cloud? Or if you put it, what kind of controls and protection you need? So the policy from a security and risk perspective comes from the security team. Line of business looks at it and says, this is what we need to do faster to go to market, expand your business. And now they need to look at and say, how do we bring these things together? What risk? Am I willing to take the risk? Or what controls and security capabilities I need to protect my app and data with to mitigate the risk? So that's the model that they are in discussions about. Yeah, Raj, one of the areas we've talked to IBM a lot about is what's happening in the container space, what's happening in Kubernetes. What role is IBM helping to the industry as a whole and IBM's product specifically to be more secure in that space? Yeah, no. So it is about helping customers build secure applications and deploy it, right? It's a responsibility model. From that perspective, you brought a very important part. When you look at cloud native and Kubernetes as an example, it provides a really opportunity. So the way we have built our Kubernetes service we have built security in, more importantly, also we are providing security services. So let me simplify this, right? From an elevator pitch perspective, when you deploy an application you need to think about how do you manage access to your application? Oh, that may be network attacks, so how do you protect against network threats? We have a capability called cloud internet services to protect against it. Okay, you're letting the good guys in, now how do you know who it is? So you need to authenticate the person, right? So we have a service called AppID that can integrate seamlessly because the developers don't need to care about the security, the gold-pea technology details. We make it simple so developers focus on business logic. So that's about manage access. Next thing is the application, now need to protect the data. So how do you protect data of an application? So you may put in a cloud native database or a object store, right? In the new models these things evolve. And the first thing that companies try to do is you need to protect them, encrypt them. As some people would say, encryption is for amateurs, key management is for professionals. So ultimately it comes down to how do you manage your keys? And ultimately customers want more control of the keys. So what we have is in the industry, what we term as bring your own key, right? So customer controls the key, even the encryption happens in the cloud. So we provide that capability with our key protect service. So all our databases are already integrated, our object store is integrated, our virtual servers are integrated, right? So these capabilities, this way whenever you encrypt the data it's provided. But given IBM's history, we understand like risk the financial teams go together. We are introducing a new paradigm, we are announcing this week.  This way it's not only about how do you control the key, but in cryptography land the keys get managed and protected by a HSM, a hardware security module. We give the entire module that they can control, the HSM can be controlled by the customer along with the key. This is a shift because now customers can gain more confidence with that. So this service is called HyperProtect Crypto Service that we're bringing to market. Built on IBM's top level security capabilities. If you can imagine banks running on our mainframe and security being kind of the, whenever you talk movies you look at security people say oh it's mainframe, they didn't hack, but they get into this system. That's the level of security, the top level security we have. We are bringing that to cloud to make the data secure. And another thing that we are working on and announcing this week is it's not about whether the data is in the database or there's encrypted form. It's also when it's processed in an application in memory, imagine you have a payment service, a credit card payment, and someone logs into the system and dumps the memory. While you get the credit card, right? Now we can protect it. With working with Intel, we have partnered with and we are launching a capability where when the data goes into memory we can protect it. So end to end we are looking at manage access, protect data, and now you can't protect what you don't see, so we provide visibility. Whose access my services through access logs are their threats. So we are infusing machine learning and AI to detect malicious behavior on network. So bringing it to a single dashboard called security advisor, looking at these pieces. So manage access, protect data, gain visibility, more importantly all of this in the context of developers, developer focus, developer experience, so that in a single click in an automated way they can protect their apps. That's our goal, that's where our customers want to go, and we are addressing that with these capabilities. It's a journey. Yeah, so I wanted to ask you how customers, what's best practice for scaling and automating all this, and I think you've touched upon several things, it's design security in, don't bolt it on, DevSecOps for example, it's scaling the key management and automating that key management. Those are at least a couple of the components that I've heard, maybe you could follow through and add some color to that. Definitely, so when you look at the DevSecOps, right? So from a developer perspective as they build automation tools it goes through a pipeline. You have to take an application that you need to deploy. Let's take Kubernetes as an example. In the past, or in a traditional IT world, there may be vulnerabilities in the system, so you need to patch them. Then it becomes a tension between an IT operations team saying, oh, I need to patch these things, whereas a security team saying, no, no, I got to patch it. In the new world, why patch it? Why don't you spin up a new container that's now the most protected one, as you find vulnerabilities, spin up a new image and spawn it on, right? In that context, as you look at a developer integrating these things, so how do I deploy an application for managed access? You can integrate with our internet services so that any attack can be protected. You deploy it in a way. You can integrate your services where identity can be authenticated. So those kind of built into the application and then as you put this through the pipe, vulnerabilities are being scanned. You can set your policy to say if you have vulnerabilities, don't deploy it in production. That's part of your DevOps policy that you can set. And then as you work with your security team, you can say, hey, guys, you can manage the keys, but tell me which database and which key to use. So the management may be the security guy's responsibility. Application team looks at it saying, which database, which key, let me configure it. So it then moves towards more of a policy management configuration problem. So it's about DevTools integrating security into the design and into the development automation into an that brings a collaborative culture because it's not a technology problem. It's a cultural problem, organizational challenge that these kind of capabilities help customers. Why IBM? Give us the commercial. Well, IBM is a trusted provider from a customer's perspective. We know enterprises for all these years, for many, many decades. We have run enterprise systems, banking, most critical data, workloads, and with our expertise, that's technology and one end. So when you look at IBM cloud built in, IBM security, world leading enterprise security set of capabilities from IBM security, you have one plus one equal to three. Not to mention our expertise, be it we know our services capabilities, consultancy, helping customers understand compliance, how to work with security or even manage security services. So that brings technology, expertise, and capabilities with years worth of experience that we bring to the table. Stu, I always say IBM does hard well, and security's hard. So Raj, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE and sharing with us some of the progress that IBM is making. Congratulations. Absolutely, thank you very much. All right, you're welcome. Keep it right there, everybody. Stu and I are back with Lisa Martin. We're here at IBM Think Day One of theCUBE. Right back, right after this short break.


Welcome. This is Melissa Arm of the Stocks, Wishing and Reviewing here. The SPY. Interesting looking at this chart because I thought we would get over 300 at some point. I never thought that we would do this as quickly as we have. It's been really interesting here watching the last, I'd say about six weeks of trading in the market, well maybe back really early June. So maybe, yeah, no, about six weeks. Six weeks. We've rallied basically for almost no reason at all because it really is an earnings season. Earning season starts next week and I think that one of two things could happen. Either the market has an explosion next week with the banks if they report well or the market pitters off here. But you can't deny the fact the market is making brand new all-time highs today. We have been doing it and we are doing it. I'm shocked. I'm surprised not that we're making new highs but that we are in the time period here in the summer and as fast as we have made them. I did not expect this, however, I didn't think the spy would get to 300. I didn't think it would be til probably later in the year, like fall, but we did it very early in the year. So it's be interesting to see exactly what this means for the rest of the year because when we think about it really, we have six more months or almost six more months left in a year. So where do we go from here? Do we actually keep rallying like this or what? You know, and news aside, I do reprice action. I didn't think the movement in the market was strong enough and big enough and the bullish enough and some fat green bars to move the market up, but we have climbed this stairway, even easy peasy teeny, teeny, teeny, tiny bars. So we haven't had any big green bars here in the market even in the last six weeks. But we've steadily, steadily, steadily moved higher. So the reality is that we're moving higher. This looks higher possibly in the next week. Prime day for Amazon is Monday and Tuesday. So we'll see where we go. I mean, targets for the spy here, 301, 302, and anybody's guess after that because again, it depends really how earning season does for the market movers. And mainly for the first week, next week of the beginning of earning season, it really will be the banks. So good luck, everyone. If you're interested in learning my method, the class for July has been moved because it was sick and finally, finally starting to feel better. It is July 20th and 21st. If you'd like more information, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have great weekend, everybody.
