Our nice leftover breakfast from one day ago or two days ago. Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese. Good morning. Good morning. Good morning guys. Welcome back to our Guinness World Record attempt to become the youngest pair to circumnavigate the globe by motorcycle. We're here in the town of Kabali in Azerbaijan and yesterday was a crazy rainstorm. Wow it is absolutely crazy raining right now. Oh my god it's horrible. Seriously it rained for like the entire night. We really didn't know if we were going to be able to hit the road this morning but it is looking a lot better. I think we're going to give it a go. So let me show you guys where we're heading today. So we are here and today we'll be following this road towards the historic town of Shekhi before continuing further towards the border to Georgia. So we have a couple of cool places to visit today. The first visit is about one and a half hours away and it's already 10 o'clock so better hit the road. Let's go. This is an amazing product. A little USB tire gauge slash pump. Just screw on the nozzle. You set the pressure on here so at the moment setting it to 38 psi on the front. Hook up to the tire. Let's see what pressure we're at already. We are at 34 in the front so there we just press go. There you go. Look at that. 4 psi in like 10 seconds. Magic. 42 in the back. So this should always be done when the tire is cold but it's always good to do it first thing in the morning.  Here we go. You're going to be safe today? Yeah if you ride safe. Oh I was going to ride safe. Okay. Are you ready to start the day? By the way look at the condition of Bumblebee after yesterday's ride. Oh my lord. Bumblebee is covered in mud. Look at this. Bumblebee was spotless when she arrived in Azerbaijan. I think it doesn't make any sense to clean your bike. Ever. Just ever. Oh I forgot to say as well that whilst I was at customs at the ferry port I got one of the customs officers to ride Azerbaijan on our box but unfortunately I couldn't film it because the whole area was like don't film even though I did secretly film a little bit. Okay ready to hit the road? Yo. Okay let's do it. Bye have a nice day. Bye Pasha. Pasha's the cat. That cat loved us. Do we have space for it? Oh yeah. You're so graceful. Okay see that I tip the bike upwards with my like momentum from jumping on. You're so graceful. England here we come.  No way look at these tiny tiny puppies on the road. They are literally like a couple of weeks old it looks like. Wow. Wow they're so cute.  Yeah absolutely. Wow look at the mountains. Beautiful. I've got to take a look at this river. It looks crazy. Whoa look at this. That was some serious rain yesterday. I never saw a black river like that. Yeah. Ever in my life. I never saw anything like that. I mean it looks like oil is just floating down here. You can hear all the like little bits of rock and stuff is like do do do do do. It's like smashing against the banks. Yeah crazy. Do you want to go out onto there? Whoa. Wow that's absolutely crazy. Look over there. I'm just really glad it's not raining now. It could still be a wet day to come. So much rain last night. Rain. It's crazy. England, Germany. Hello. From England and Germany. Yes. First time. Where are you going? We are going now to Georgia. Georgia? Yes. Your name? Name Oliver. Oliver and Lavinya. Are you here with your wife? Yes. Yes. What's your what's your name? Bukan. Nice to meet you Bukan. Nice to meet you. Where's the weird niest today? I hope so. Bye bye. Heard of cows on the road. Heard of cows on the road. Hey guys good morning. Good morning everyone. I just can't believe how green already it is here. Yeah. Just yesterday we were in the middle of like the desert completely arid and now it's like super green super wet here. Okay I think this is a first. We've got a bunch of geese crossing. A gander of geese. I think that's our first goose road block. Yes. Look at these guys in the horse and cart. There are literally cows everywhere though guys seriously. There's cows all over the streets here. Apparently they don't believe in putting them in fields behind fences and a donkey. Oh hello. I think they're just there to like moor the lawn actually in front of the houses. Yeah that's true. They do keep all the grass really nice and short everywhere. Hey it looks neat. It does. Okay now I'm convinced that Azerbaijan is just the land of animals crossing the road. Seriously this is a group of turkeys. Hello guys. Whoa that's crazy. So we've had geese, we've had sheep, we've had cows and we've had turkeys. And humans. And humans crossing the road as well. What animal is coming next in Azerbaijan? It's time to take off the GoPro media mod because we are hitting the rain. Oh yes it looks really bad actually. It looks really bad ahead. I thought it's brightening up a little bit. It looked like it was brightening up. Yeah. Until it didn't. Anyway we'll see you guys at the first point of interest. Sheki castle. All right let's see if I can put the stand down. Yep put it in gear. Yep perfect. Thank you. Thank you. So we are here in the old town of Sheki and we've just entered Sheki Fortress. So Sheki Fortress was built in the 1700s by the Sheki Carnate which ran from 1743 to 1819. It's basically one giant walled summer residence for the Sheki Carnate and in the middle of this fortress is the Sheki Palace which we're going to be seeing after. The instrument. Ah instrument. So we're just entering Sheki Carn's palace grounds. Now you're not allowed to take pictures or video inside the palace but this is what it looks like from the outside. It's incredibly ornate and really super beautiful. Just look at this amazing intricate traditional window design. You've got little bits of wood and in between each piece of wood is a little bit of glass that's been cut just perfectly to fit in between. Magical. Really nice. Now check out the room inside. A few moments later.  The whole room was hand-painted in different like pictures and with flowers and there were like stories on the walls. It was amazing. I'm going to try and find some pictures of it online so this is what it looked like. There you go you're not supposed to take photos but it was quite easy to find some. So there we go the beautiful ornate palace of Sheki Carn. So this fortress has more than 1,300 meters of walls just like these.  So the grounds of Sheki Fortress have been used for various purposes over the years including as a Russian military base. This building behind us is actually currently used as an institute for Sheki pottery to restore the cultural pottery traditions of the Sheki region. Welcome to Sheki. Thank you so much. Thank you. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. This guy's selling ice cream but it's very cloudy and not very hot today so nobody wants an ice cream. Goodbye. What a cool historic town Sheki is. Really really really nice buildings here. Yeah absolutely. It's nice to delve into a bit of Azerbaijani history that's for sure. Yeah. But so now it's time to leave historic Sheki behind because we've decided we have enough time to reach the border to Georgia today and perhaps even cross the border today. We'll give it a go. It says we'll arrive there at half past four which should be plenty of time to get across. If we do make it across we'll be staying in the first town we get to which is basically just over the border. Which is apparently a very very nice town just built on the edge of a forest. Look at these buildings. Beautiful. And the balconies. Yeah beautiful. That's amazing. So our navigation says it's 67 miles to the border of Georgia and about one hour 45. So let's hope that we will make it without getting wet. The sun just came out. Thank you. Thank you for being back. We missed you. We've been like two days out of the desert and now we're like come back sun. Come back. Oh man. We've just been two spoils haven't we. We've been two spoiled with endless sunshine in Kazakhstan. Yes I was sometimes mad even with the sun you know. Yeah we wake up in the morning. Oh another sunny day. Yeah I mean after this trip here we have been sort of two years in the summer forever chasing the sun. Forever. 40,999.9. We just reached 41,000 miles on the road. Woohoo. You're all shaking the bump. That was so cute. All right I think we are arriving at the Azerbaijan-Georgia border. Yeah let's check it out hey. Yep. It doesn't look that busy at the moment I think. The border shouldn't be very busy because Azerbaijan's land border is actually closed but from what we've read that should only be for entry into Azerbaijan and for us to exit should be okay. Fingers crossed. I've read that some people have made it through so I don't know. Anyway at the moment the gate's closed so let's go up here, park up and then see what's going on. Okay. All right I'm going to turn off the camera then. Okay. So I guess this river here separates the border between Azerbaijan and Georgia because we have just been stamped out. Bumblebee has been let out of the country. This is awesome and now as you can see right in front we're about to enter Georgia. Can you believe it hey? Happy days. Happy days. Happy days. Which country is this? Number 30? Maybe. Possibly country number 30 on our round the world trip. Yeah and look the vista here. Oh my god. That's absolutely beautiful here. Totally. And the place we're going to be staying is only 3.6 miles up ahead so it's pretty much right on the edge of these forested mountains. It looks super super nice so we've booked two nights at this place because we're going to have the day off tomorrow. And do editing. Oh I was planning on just sleeping but all right maybe we could squeeze in a little bit of editing but the guys were so nice on the Azerbaijani side so far. They gave us a cup of tea while we were waiting. They were just really nice to us. Absolutely no problems leaving Azerbaijan. I think as well because the land border is closed still for tourists. Pretty much for everyone which is not a truck driver. Yeah. So the border was like really empty actually and when they saw us as tourists you know one guy took a picture of us who was working there and they were just really happy to see us. Yeah they're definitely not seeing very many tourists because the only way in is to fly in. Yeah exactly. So yeah not many people exiting via the land border that's for sure. I think they were loving about my picture on my passport which looks like this. I look like a prisoner. You always say to them new hair new hair and they always laugh. So anyway it's half past five now we're doing pretty well so hopefully if we can get through this next bit in the next hour then yeah we'll be all good. Oh looks like we're going looks like we're going coming into Georgia. Awesome. Yes just 35 minutes later and we have passed the border and we have entered Georgia. Yes yes yes yes yes. We stopped. One guy came out and he did both passports and then he was like yep you can go. Yeah similar like the Canadian border actually which was as well super super easy. They didn't check bumblebee, they didn't check our bags, they didn't check anything. Then I asked them if I needed a temporary import permit or a special permit and they were like nope that's it. I said do we need to give you anything when I leave the country or anything. He's like just the passport and that's it. Super super relaxed super easy border. No problems with our drone. No problems with our cheese like the Chilean border. Unfortunately they've told us that we can't bring our new block of cheese. We're just going to eat as much as we can of it. We're not going to let it go to waste. I think we're eating all of it. Every time they were like no cheese. It's true. Now this border was just like no problem guys welcome to Georgia. Yes really nice guys. So the first thing we have to do is get insurance for bumblebee and they told us that the insurance company it should be on the left coming up just in a minute but so far we didn't have to pay anything to get into Georgia. Yeah they had an ATM there as well where we could just get some money and we could exchange our money as well. It's just here literally. Yep that's it it's just here. Amazing. So yeah we'll just get ourselves an insurance policy for Georgia and then yeah we should be good to go to our accommodation. Good to go. Compulsory insurance center. Yes. It's definitely the right place. Awesome. Oh cool okay how do you say Georgia? Sacatolo. Sacatuelo. Sacatuelo. Okay amazing. Well the Georgian language looks so good no? Amazing. So we got our insurance policy. Cost us 20 local currency. How much is 20? I think it's not much like less than 10 pounds. All right ready to rock and roll. Bye bye. Awesome. That was super easy. Sorted in 10 minutes. Yes and I think it's so cool that this one guy was actually from Kyrgyzstan and is like yes we have been in Kyrgyzstan we loved it. It's so cool. It's just nice when you meet people and you know then how the country looks like where they are from. It's amazing I love it. Absolutely love it. Look all these trucks waiting to get into Azerbaijan. Insane. Wow those guys are not rushing at the Azerbaijan border hey. They're not rushing. Most of these plates here say TR on them. TR what's TR? Turkey. Literally on the other side of Georgia. So a lot of Turkish truck drivers coming through to Azerbaijan. Awesome. I'm so happy to be here. Yeah and this is the town we're going to be staying in for the next two days. Lagodehi and what a beautiful surrounding for the town. Hey look at that. It's amazing mountains. Yeah. All right so the accommodation should be coming up just here. 64 Freedom Street. Yeah I like the name. 64 Freedom Street. This one maybe it's this one. Yeah. Thank you thank you. Okay so we've gone to two different places now to try to find the place that we're staying and both of them are like no it's not me. So it wasn't the one at the top of the road here then we came to this place and they said it's not them but they said that we're staying here in the one next to them but no one's in. So they called the owner and the owner said they're going to be like 15-20 minutes so we decided we're going to go to a restaurant which is just up the road go get dinner and then come back check into our room for a nice cozy night. Guys this restaurant we found is absolutely amazing. Look at this place it's so beautiful here so we were recommended to come here by the guys that helped us out to contact the host but when we arrived here we were like it's got to be too expensive for us it looks way too fancy but it's not it's actually quite cheap it's like a pizza is about five pounds this dish cost around two or three pounds such a good price and the food looks absolutely amazing look at this so anyway we're going to eat this and then have round two trying to get into a room all right yeah is it dark now or what look at this this one here hey okay see if they're in this time we made it happy to live so we made it here to the place and actually the lady next door she called the owner and apparently the owner will arrive here in 10 minutes so we will just wait here patiently and that's it from us today we hope you enjoyed the video if so please give us a thumbs up subscribe to the channel share the video with your friends and family comment below and we will see you next time


Hello and welcome back to my channel, my name's Jackie and today is August 14th. Now on August the 10th I received an email from my editor saying in two weeks your manuscript critique is coming up and I'm wondering if you're still on track and I went crap that's closer than I expected and yes I knew it was happening on August 24th but August 24th felt like a theoretical concept for me at some point in the future as opposed to a date that's suddenly two weeks away or as of today 10 days away. So what I need to do is go through the first 50 pages of my book and get them into the best shape I can in order for her to be able to give me the best feedback that she can. The problem is it's been almost two weeks since I last looked at the book because I needed a bit of a break and honestly I don't feel too drawn to go back to it yet like I could happily enjoy taking a full month off but I have this deadline so to give you context of what I have to prepare for I booked in a critique of the first 50 pages of my manuscript and I did that for a couple of reasons. One, budgets a bit easier for 50 pages as opposed to the full book but two because this is my first real new project in over 10 years I'm pretty sure it needs a lot of work. I'm pretty sure it sounds like it was written by somewhere in high school since or maybe university since I haven't really written since then so I feel like it's probably going to come across as a little bit immature and inexperienced in terms of writing skill and if that is the case I don't know if it's worth getting the full book critiqued when any of the major issues are probably going to be evident in the first 50 pages so I can use that feedback to refine the full book. So the priority is obviously the first 50 pages and that's what needs to be done in the next 10 days however I would like to finish going through the book just because I think it's easy not to finish things I think it's easy to sort of put something in a folder and go okay I'll get back to that when I can and suddenly it's six months later and you haven't looked at it so at least tying this up means it's done and I can put it aside. I don't know knowing that it's taking time to marinate and mature and I can go back with fresh eyes and I have something that's more complete to look at as opposed to something where there are all of the issues that I knew about now that just haven't been addressed and I'm outsourcing those to future Jackie. So what am I going to be looking at and in fact before I go into what I'm going to be looking at I should tell you what the book's about because if you're new here nothing I'm about to say will make sense. So this book is powerless it's Superheroes meets the Russian mafia. The original idea was a girl with no powers in a family of superheroes gets kicked out of home and told not to come back until she has powers and after she gets kicked out she then runs into the she goes looking for trouble because she knows that the stress response or an adrenaline spike can trigger the awakening of powers if you have the right DNA which she does so she goes looking for trouble and runs into the mafia and chaos ensues. So where am I at the moment? I looked at this book for Camp Anorimo in July and on August 2nd I'd gotten to the end of the book Save the Final Scene which I'm sort of happy to not look at until I've got a feedback because I feel like the ending could be a bit better and I feel like if I fix the earlier parts of the book the ending's going to be it's going to be easier to write a powerful ending that fits with everything. So I've been through the entire book Save the Final Scene. However there were difficult things or things that I did not address and those I highlighted in yellow as I was going through. So what is there to look at? The first thing is how is the Brotherhood introduced? So the Brotherhood is the Russian Mafia and I have struggled with how to introduce them because when you create a fictional world your audience doesn't have the understanding of the world that your characters do So let's say there was something set in our current world and like modern day Japan and someone gets in trouble and they turn to their family and says it's the Yakuza. I don't know what to do. You don't need to explain who the Yakuza are. Everyone knows Japanese mafia. Same thing if you're like in New York I guess and talk about the mafia or the mob. Saying that gives enough context so your readers know okay this is serious. Because this is a different world it's not the Yakuza, it's not the Italian mafia. There isn't that context so I feel like there needs to be something to explain why when the main character finally encounters them it's like it should be an oh crap moment. This is not a good thing. So I need to think about how to weave that in and I don't really know how to do it beyond like cataloging the things they're known for or responsible for. It's so much easier to just tell through experience but if I tell through experience then we don't have the foreshadowing. So that's one thing. The next thing is a couple of scenes where I just could not figure them out as I was going through them. So one is there's this basically there's a mission that goes wrong at the beginning. They think supers might be behind it but the main character gets a DNA sample from one of the culprits and he doesn't have the DNA. So that raises questions and there's sort of one or two scenes that need to happen there between that discovery and when she gets kicked out of home that I haven't really nailed yet and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep what I did last time or if I'm going to cut it and do something else. There's also after the initial trouble with the Russian mafia she gets sort of adopted by the head family of the Russian mafia and before that everything's going really fast like it's sort of disaster after disaster and this moment things slow down a little bit and I think it's necessary because we need to catch our breath but I think it could be better.  Then there are a couple of sections that I've just highlighted because it's like fundamentally they work they fit but the handful of paragraphs could be written better. The next big thing is sense of place so I think an area where I've actually done this well is the auction house where the final confrontation takes place and the reason this works well is because I didn't wait until the final confrontation to describe it. I actually sent the main character and one of the sidekicks there to scope it out beforehand so the reason that works is because we already get the sense of place there in a lower stake situation we can understand where everything's happening and then when the battle comes at least I hope this is how it works but when the battle comes the readers already know this place so they can fill in the details without me having to go oh the room looked like this and blah blah blah. There are other parts in the book where I think I need to slow things down a little bit and create a sense of where things are happening and one of the big challenges is talking about the city itself because the main character has not really left the family home for a couple of years for reasons so when she gets kicked out it's her first time seeing everything in years it's the first time we as the readers are seeing everything. The problem is she's being chased out of the house by superheroes like who have been set upon her so it's this really fast-paced scene there's not enough time to describe things so I'm not sure how to handle that and then the final thing is I need to name a bunch of things so if I don't know what to name something I just put name in capital letters and highlighted in yellow so I need to name the city where this is based the country in which the city is based I need to give the family a name because at the moment I'm just calling them like the super family but I think that's a little bit on the nose if I made the father's last name like if I made it actually super that's actually made though is a bit of an egomaniac so maybe he could have changed his name to that that's actually not a bad idea and that gets me out of thinking of a name but anyway I need to think of names for people and places and just fill them in where I've got the blanks so summary of what needs to be done introduce the Russian mafia in a way that four shadows that being involved with them is not a good thing two I need to write three new scenes for the parts of the book that aren't working or I need to delete them and figure out how to link what came before with what comes after I there are scenes that need to be replaced or deleted or something three sense of place for basically anywhere where significant scenes happen and then five fill in the blanks in terms of names so my plan for tackling this is I'm just going to jump to the parts of the document that are highlighted in yellow and address them one at a time because I think that if I try reading through from the beginning and addressing parts as I get to them I'm just going to get lost in the book so jump straight to the yellow sections fix them and then once I've done that the best of my ability I'm going to read through the first 50 pages again before that goes to the editor so let's get started I am 28 pages into my book and I think I'm done for this session because it's getting to the stage where I'm seeing sentences that don't work and I'm sort of I'm putting my head on the desk because I don't know how to fix them I'm still worried about introducing the brotherhood but I have introduced them now so I've done basically two passing mentions like one is just mentioning the term the brotherhood but we don't know who it is or what they are the next one is mentioning that they're the largest Russian crime family in the city and then there's a like paragraph or two where Hannah mentions they're getting more into super issues I don't know if that's enough I don't know if I need to try and build up how bad they are or if just saying like crime family or mafia family mentioning them a couple of times and then having her meet them in real life is enough so I think unless I have another idea I think I'm going to leave that for the editor to see what she says I've also been working on places a little bit so I've changed the concept I had for the main guy's mansion so I've added a little bit of descriptions around that did a lot of shopping for nice real estate in Estonia and I'm telling you if I win the lotto I have some options what's funny though is that I've actually taken out more than I've added so I took out one of the flashback scenes just because that was sort of supposed to be the introduction to the brotherhood and I didn't feel like I needed it once I added the earlier hints I also went through the difficult scene so I'm not sure how much detail I went into earlier but at the beginning of the book there's a mission that goes wrong Hannah the main character needs to analyze DNA samples from one of the culprits because he had superhuman abilities and the sample says he's not a super so they need to get more samples and in the original book it was mentioned this sample doesn't have the right DNA and the extra samples magically appeared and she was in the lab and I had an idea of adding a scene where she goes to the morgue and gets the samples herself and I decided to keep that I still think it needs work I still feel like it's quite slow but I've incorporated some like discussion there between her and her sister Maria so I'm leaving it there for the time being but I think it's one of those things where I need feedback but I'd written that I was considering cutting it but I've decided to leave it and then there was the final little link between that scene and when she gets kicked out of home and I've actually just kept what I originally had so we have this new scene now and then it sort of goes back to beforehand so there's sort of a summary of this is what happens in the next 48 hours and you know she scans the samples they don't appear to be supers the father gets paranoid and calls security technicians to see if anyone's broken into the house or potentially stolen research and then she gets called to the dining table for the talk so I don't know how to feel about this progress it has been like two hours or so since I started working so I think that is enough for one session I'm at the point where I'm not making good progress anymore but I'm also not sure how much progress I've actually made but there is now less highlighted in yellow in this part of the book I think the only things I have left are naming the things so naming the family so named the city and the country which I can add in at any point so from here and take a break and probably won't look at this again until tomorrow and something I forgot to mention is that I am not home at the moment so my husband and I have a wedding this afternoon we are in Germany like an hour and a half outside of Frankfurt for friends wedding so that's happening at 4 p.m so I think from now until then we'll just go out for lunch relax and then we've got the wedding this afternoon and tomorrow hopefully I can get through the next chunk of the book also I just emailed three people about beta reading my book so I've got manuscript critique on the 24th and potentially two or three beta readers who'll be looking at it in September so this is scary because it's not ready for anyone else to look at it but I yeah it's necessary and I mean if they hate it then I just end this YouTube channel and never speak to anyone about writing again my book and addressing all of the yellow areas except the like the little things I need to name because I can go back and do them fairly easily and I'm now at the next difficult section so I mentioned in my big things I need to look at I had basically three scenes that needed to be redone or deleted or dealt with in some way the current version doesn't work the last one I ended up just leaving what I had which is what I wrote during revision in July and rather than adding like an extra scene afterward I sort of just jumped from there to the next little summary of what happens over the next couple of days so it's been addressed I feel a little bit like I cheated though I didn't actually do anything to it now though I am at the next section which is four and a half thousand words that I'm not sure how to fix so to give you context before this Hannah the main character has been tortured by a mysterious mafia doctor who wants to see why her superpowers haven't been activated or why she's hiding them and pretending to be something she's not so he figures either he's going to trigger them or going to break her to the point where she uses them while she is held captive a couple of goons I guess come in with the mafia boss's granddaughter who's unconscious she's ingested a drug they don't know what it is and they don't know what to do and Hannah ends up saving her life so Lisa the granddaughter of the mafia boss she's like okay Hannah I'm adopting you now come home live with my family and we've now got this little lull between when Hannah has essentially escaped from the doctor to when we get the next bit of juicy information about the mafia and some of the stuff they've been working on and what I originally had was there was sort of a scene of life with the mafia family they were talking a little bit about super issues in this world and then they decided to go and hunt down the guy who gave Lisa this drug and kill all of his associates and that's still what's there because I didn't do anything with it last time and now that I'm back I still don't know what to do with it and I don't know why I do this to myself like I don't know why I assume that future Jackie will magically have a solution to something that I couldn't solve a month ago so I'm not sure what to do the good news though is that this is after the first 50 pages of the book so I don't actually need it sorted before I send it to the editor but I would like to find something I'm happy with before I send it to beta readers because I've got three people who are going to be looking at this so I'm not sure what to do I think I'm at a similar point to where I was yesterday when I checked in after my work where I've gone through enough of it in one session that I know I'm not going to be able to do any more meaningful work today so I'm going to let it sit for now I'm wondering if I should look at future parts so I've scrolled through the document to see what there is to look at after this section and there isn't too much there's one scene where I feel like the dialogue goes on for a bit long so I've highlighted that to cut it back and I'd like to add in another two maybe three flashbacks so they will be new content but other than that it's just really the science stuff which I'm not going to look at now anyway because I want to wait for my science person to look at the draft and give me feedback on what could work so because the main work that needs to be done is writing new content it's looking at these couple of scenes that I've gotten up to it's adding in a couple of flashbacks I think I'm going to call it a day in terms of new writing I might try doing some brainstorming to see how I can fix the mess that is the current chapter and the next chapter of the current draft but yeah I don't think I'm going to do any more writing today it is Sunday morning which means it's time to head home so I'm hoping I can get some work done on this difficult scene on the way back good morning it's Tuesday I'm back at home and I was really hoping to get through that difficult section before I finish this video but I think now I'm at the point where the video is going to end up way too long and I probably won't ever finish it if I keep waiting to finish this scene so yesterday I had an idea for how to tackle it which was to do sort of a skip forward to the like oh crap moment and then go back and go through the day and hopefully that would make the day more interesting actually I've made a few more changes one is that we're going to get the Lisa the mob boss's granddaughter to put the gun in Hannah's hand and like tell Hannah she needs to shoot this guy so where the chapter starts now is there's this guy on his knees in front of her she's pointing the gun at him going oh my god how did I get here this is not a good thing I've cut out all of the stuff in Lisa's house so originally I had her waking up and they got ready together and went down for breakfast and it was sort of day in the life of a mafia daughter I originally had it because I wanted to explain how the brotherhood worked as an organization and I never felt like the scene was particularly interesting though so now it's gone and I've also cut back on the drive from the house to the location where the violence happens so now we don't really get an explanation for the mafia at all and what they do and why they're interested in super issues I don't know if it needs to go back in somewhere or if it's okay like this and maybe if Palace has a sequel we can include more there so this is going to be an interesting area to get feedback on from my beta readers so what I've done is I've done the scene up to where she's holding the gun at the guy and I still need to finish it so how she gets out of it and then afterwards there was like a bonding moment so I still need to look at those but as I said this video is getting a little bit long this scene might take me another few days and we are well into the working week now so I do have limited time to work on it so I'm going to end the video here make this a two-parter and part two will cover the work I do over the next six days before I send my book to the editor so when it comes to your own process and when you start working with editors and beta readers I'd love to know one when do you get feedback on your work is it once you've got a first draft is it does it have to go through a number of visions doesn't need to be as close to publishable as you can get it on your own so please let me know because I still don't think this is ready to be seen by anyone but I'm sharing it because I think that'll help me move forward or decide not to move forward and then question two is how do you prepare when you're sending your work out to be reviewed what sort of things do you look at and what do you put together so your reviewers can do the best job possible like do you create a list of questions or do you tell them which points you're worried about and what they should look at or do you just leave it open so you can get their raw impressions of your work please let me know in the comments and I will see you next time bye


Here we are at the famous Black Ball Hilton just out of Greymouth on the West Coast, appropriate that we have a red push-up here tonight because this of course is the site of where the Labour Party was formed in New Zealand and it's our evening function here tonight and what a day we've had. The West Coast certainly lived up to its name, a bit of rain all day but it takes a lot to dampen Basch's spirits, visiting schools along the way from Nelson to Westport then Westport to Greymouth and here this evening.


In this video I'm literally going to give you everything you need to know to make a half a million dollars in six months in real estate. It's going to be up to you to put in the work to make it happen. What's up everybody? Ricky here. I'm at one of my listings on Ono Island 1.295 million. Today I'm going to be telling you step by step exactly how I made a half a million dollars in six months in real estate. Before I get into that, click subscribe and hit the bell. I'm posting new videos every Tuesday and Thursday and let's get inside. It's kind of hot out here. That's better. Let's have a seat on the couch and we'll get into it. Perfect. So just so you guys know I have made a half a million dollars in six months in real estate three times. So I'm not trying to tell you how to do something that I've never done, but I have been in real estate since 2002.  The first step is to realize that it will not happen overnight. It took me 15 years to get to that first six months of a half a million dollars. So there's no magic pill, there's no secret you're going to get in this video, but I'm going to give you the tools you need to make it happen. So step number one is to think long term and to do the daily actions that's going to put you at the top of your market. This is the way I look at it. If you are out working the number one agent in your area, you are number one that day. And if you can put together enough days where you outwork the highest producing agent in your market, you will at some point be the number one agent in your market. That's how I became the number one agent in my market. So number two is to talk to 20 to 30 property owners every single day. To me there's no other way to exponentially grow your business other than to talk to as many property owners as you can every single day, new property owners. Now how you talk to 20 to 30 or more property owners per day is up to you. Everything works. Door knocking for sell by owners, expires, circle prospecting. Even internet leads, open houses, everything works. It all just depends on what works for you. And you have to get out there and try everything and figure out which avenue works the best for you. But at the end of the day, you have to have conversations. You have to have 20 to 30 new conversations with new prospects every single day and find out what you can do to help them. You got to do the follow up work. You got to make the sales. But if you want your business to grow, you have to talk to new property owners every single day. Step number three is to come from a place of how can I help you as opposed to what you consider buying or selling today, right? Most agents live off that less than 1% of prospects who will do a deal today. But I find far more interesting is that 20 to 30% of people like you enough to do a deal. They're just not ready yet. And if you can live off the less than 1% and capture the 20 to 30% who like you enough to do a deal in the future, then that's how you're going to get to the top of your market. You can't make a half a million in six months by living off the less than 1%. You have to capture the 20 to 30% to get there. When you come from a place of how can I help you? People are drawn to you. People want to do business with you. Here's the facts. Closings are happening every single day in your market. So the fact that you're not making sales is only because you haven't figured out how to be a part of all these closings that are happening every single day. If you talk to enough property owners and come from a place of how can I help you, you're going to run into people who want to buy and sell today. And you're going to capture people for the rest of their life because they're going to be drawn to you in a different kind of way. You're going to separate yourself from all the other agents in the market. So develop your database around how can I help you and realize one thing. Every single client, whether they buy today or not is worth 10 to 20 deals to you over the lifetime of your career. So never underestimate a prospect. And step number four is in the follow up. Right? I don't care how you follow up. I follow up with a weekly email on the same day of the week, every week, forever. That's how I've done it. And that's how where I've seen a lot of really huge success. I have people that's been getting my emails for 10 years that do business with me. And I haven't talked to them in 10 years. They call me, they've been getting the email, they're ready to do a deal. That's what kind of business you want. You want a business where people come to you. So whatever your follow up is, it can be a drip campaign, a CRM, a postcard, a phone call every quarter. I don't know what exactly your system's going to be, but you have to figure out what your follow up system's going to be, put it in place, be consistent and make it work for you. Thanks for listening. I hope you guys got something out of it. And I hope you enjoyed seeing one of my listings here. I don't want you to get it confused. My average price is 350,000 down here in South Alabama. This is one of my biggest listings. I appreciate your time. I really want to help you succeed. Everything I do is absolutely free of charge to you. Click subscribe and hit the bell and we'll talk to you guys soon.


Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre brings you Ray Merland, William Holden, and Veronica Lake in I Wanted Wings. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. One of mankind's oldest dreams, faceable straight back through recorded history through the ancient myths of Icarus and Baleripon, came true on a lonely North Carolina sand dune on December 17th, 1903, when man stretched his wings and flew. America gave man the airplane, and now as the forces of freedom meet the powers of despotism in the battle for the world, America must give freedom wings for victory. The planes that were counted by the hundreds in the last war when I learned to fly must be counted by the tens of thousands now, and there must be men to fly them. I Wanted Wings is a story of some of the men who will fight this battle of the sky. A story of the cadets of the Army Air Corps, written by Lieutenant Bernie Lay, Jr., now on active duty with the Air Corps. Paramount's picture must have given everyone who saw it a deep sense of pride in these gallant boys. And tonight we have the same stars who thrilled you on the screen. Ray Milland, William Holden, and Veronica Lake. Ray has just served the year's term with me in Reach the Wild Wind. For your producer, a drama like I Wanted Wings is very close to him. Because in 1917 I started the first airline to carry passengers on regular scheduled flights between cities in the United States, and we train many pilots for the Army, too. Traveling across the country last week, I met many people who may have been strangers, in fact, but seemed like old friends, because they were regular members of this Monday night family circle of ours, listeners who helped raise the curtain in the Lux Radio Theater by going all out for Lux toilet soap. As one of them, a charming lady, shook hands with me, she told me how much she enjoyed these weekly evenings in the theater, and pressed into my hand what she said was her ticket for our next performance. The ticket I discovered was a carefully folded wrapper from a cake of Lux toilet soap. As a matter of fact, I think I can see her now sitting out there in that corner of our theater, which covers the state of Illinois. So for all of you who feel the same way, here's another play and another fine group of actors. It's cut in time for I Wanted Wings, starring Ray Merland as Jeff, William Holden as Al, and Veronica Lake as Sally Vaughn, with Lynn Carver as Carolyn. Somewhere near Marshall, an army flying fortress wings low over the hills, too low. Searching through the night sky, it tries valiantly to gain out a few. It's four giant motors roaring defiance to the earth. Suddenly, a ridge looms up in the darkness. With the speed of a comet, the giant plane sweeps on to its doom. The fortress enroute back from maneuvers is reported to have crashed in the hills north of Marchfield. The pilot is alive and several members of the crew are believed to have bailed out safely. Officials refuse to comment on the unconfirmed report that a woman was found dead in the plane. Now the pilot and the wrecked flying fortress is placed on trial. Gathered in solemn session to fix the blame for the disaster, the examining officers hear the charge. Charge one, violation of the 64th article of war. Specification. In that Jefferson Young's 2nd Lieutenant Air Corps, having received a lawful command from Captain Everett Mercer, not to attempt to take off from the scene of an emergency landing did willfully disobey the order. With the result that injuries were sustained by the crew, a passenger was killed and the airplane destroyed. Charge two, violation of the 96th article of war. Specification. In that Jefferson Young's 2nd Lieutenant Air Corps, it at Marchfield, California, permit an unauthorized passenger, one Sally Vaughn, on board a flying fortress airplane in violation of existing regulations and to the prejudice of good order and military discipline. Are there any preliminary statements from Defense Council? I wish to waive counsel, sir. The court to understand the accused does not wish to be represented. Yes, sir. Very well, the judge advocate will proceed. How does the accused plead to the specification, charge one? Guilty, sir. How does the accused plead to the specification, charge two? Guilty, sir. You have no further statement? No, sir. The court will be closed, pending an examination of the record of the accused. Well, gentlemen, here is the record. Name Jefferson Young III, Education Lawrenceville Preparatory School, Yale University. Applied for Air Corps training was admitted to Randolph Field January 1938. Colonel Grant, sir. Oh, yes. May I be permitted to speak, sir? I'm Captain Mercer. Well, no witnesses have been called yet, Captain Mercer. Oh, I realize that, sir. But I feel I have something to say which may bear on this case. Who is this other man? Ludlow, sir. Albert Ludlow. I used to be a cadet at Randolph Field. You're an enlisted man now. I was the crew chief on that rec plane, sir. I see. You men are friends of the accused? Yes, sir. We know why this thing happened. And we know why he's pleading guilty, sir. And I see no reason why this court shouldn't hear you. Proceed, Captain Mercer. Thank you, sir. We, uh... We'll have to go back quite a while. Just about the time you mentioned before, sir. When Jeff Young was admitted to Randolph Field, he was in the same class as Ludlow and entered on the same day. I was the officer in charge of Mucadette. All right, you new men. Fall in here. Give me your attention. Men? Down here at Randolph Field, we don't care who you are or where you came from. The Army's only interested in two things. And you fly in, will you make an officer? And we'll soon find out. Now, before you report to the flight surgeon for your physicals, take a look at the men on either side of you. Go ahead, take a good look. In four months, one of you won't be here. Disrisk! One out of three washed out. That's a pretty high percentage, isn't it? Well, let's see. You're on my left. This fellow's on my right. You two should toss a coin to find out which one he's talking about. Thanks. It'll probably be me. My name's Tom Cassidy. I'm Al Ludlow. Jeff Young, gentlemen. That's your servant. Say, you know, this place is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Look at all those planes up there. Scares you a little. Scared of flying, Ludlow? Uh-uh. Scared of not flying. Fellows, I'll take this part of the room over here. Okay, Cassidy? Okay. How about it, Mr. Ludlow? Well, it's all right by me, Mr. Thank you, young. Come to think of it, it's gonna be all right.  No, no, and just me. I keep it around to remind myself how good I am. Hmm, let's see. What are you supposed to be doing on the horse? That is a polo pony, my friend. Well, well. Fancy that. He plays polo. That's right. I'm an eight-goal man.  Eight million bucks. A million a gold. That's how they rate him. Say, young, what is a tough guy like you want down here anyway? Well, maybe I'll find out just how tough I am. I don't have to find out. You see this statue? This is what they gave me for being the toughest left half in the Big Ten. Well, it's too bad they don't have cheerleaders down here. Yeah, and here's the shoe that kicked the winning field goal against Notre Dame last year. Oh, very nice. Someday I'll show you my baby picture. I can see this is gonna be very pleasant living in the Hall of Fame. Say, Ludlow, what did you do before you came here? Well, I was a mechanic, worked in garages, airplane factories. I tried just about everything. Where'd you get your two years' college equivalent? Right school? No, I never stayed long enough in one place. I've got a statue full of diplomas from correspondent schools. But what brought you down here? And I told you before. I want to fly. Lower classmen report to supply room. Lower classmen report to poppershop. Lower classmen report for infantry drill. Lower classmen report for buzzer practice. Lower classmen report to the media room. Lower classmen report to photographing room. You know something I've made a terrible mistake. What's the matter, young? Oh, nothing, nothing, sir. I thought they taught you how to fly down here. They do. You'll meet your flying instructor tomorrow. Two men, listen carefully. That thing over there is an airplane. And I'm gonna teach you how to fly one. I hope. All right, let's look her over. I'll tell you everything I know about it. All I ask is your strict detention. I expect you to make mistakes, but don't make excuses. Any questions? Good. Oh, young, I'll take you first. Yes, sir. Go in there. Yes, sir. And the rest, if you get over there and watch. You all set, young? Yes, sir.  All we do this morning is shake hands with flying. Start feeling at home on a plane. Get familiar with the sky. Now fasten your belt. Flying young, nobody can land in airplanes. He's back on your stick and keep it from landing. Hold it off the ground until it lands itself. Oh, that's better. That's better.  Don't land out of a stall. Get your nose down. That's it. Now you have to fly in. All right, Cassidy, bring her in. No, no, Ludlow. You keep making the same mistakes. Listen, Ludlow, don't use the whole field for landing. Fly the airplane. Don't let it fly you. Now fly it again.  Hey, who's ahead, Tom? A dumb-belt derby is now being led by Al Ludlow. He bounced four times on that last landing. Four bumps, eh? At two bits of bump, he owes a buck to the kitty. Mark it down. He's marked. He owes 30 bucks right now. Oh, what's the difference how good or how bad we are? They don't tend to set the solo, do they? Yeah. Maybe they're going to wash out the whole battalion.  Hey, here comes the bouncing boy himself. Hello, Al. Welcome home. Yeah, I'm lucky still I have my breakfast with me. Four bounces, pal. One buck for the kitty. I'll give it to you up in the room.  Lay off, young. The way I flies my own business. Okay. Young. Jeff Young. Yes, sir. On the line, right away. Solo. Yes, sir. What? Solo? Hey, where's my flying suit? Don't crowd me, boys. Give me some air. Come on, Jeff. Snap it up. And listen, get out there and show them. Give them the old power play. Just remember one thing. Keep your head, kid. Oh, don't worry about me, boys.  You dive a little further. That's all there is to it. That's right, Jeff, but don't get nervous. I'm not nervous. And why you got your suit on backwards? Huh? You're going to solo. Not to be married. Nothing, sir. Hey, Jeff, wait a second. What's the matter, Al? Oh, nothing. Just good luck. Oh, thanks. Yes, sir? Was I all right, sir? Listen, you were only supposed to stay up there five minutes. Didn't you see me flagging you in? Oh, sir. Nobody ever does on his first solo. You send them up for five minutes and they try for an endurance record. Hey, Jeff. How are you? Gosh, Jeff, you were swell. Oh, nothing to it, my friend.  Come on down. Come on down. You're still 10 feet in the air. Hey. Hey, what's that? What's what? Over there with a lion. Oh, well, let's see. Offhand, I'd say it was a girl. Offhand, I'd say it was a very beautiful girl. What's she doing, taking pictures? What do you care? You've got plenty of pictures of yourself. Oh, I've got to look into this. See you around, Tom. Mike. How's this? Uh, hold it there a second. A little to the left. I want it on the under section of the wing. Okay. Uh, too far. Just a little bit. Oh, would you mind moving, please? Who, me? Well, you're the only person in my way. Oh, sorry. I just wanted to watch it, Tom. Why? Haven't you ever seen an airplane before? Hold it, Mike. Say, you're pretty free with that camera on an army post, aren't you? Would you mind your casting a shadow on my reflector? You know what? I think you're a spy. That's it, Mike. You know what happens to spies? They shoot them at sunrise. Look, I'm trying to make a series of pictures for a national magazine with the full permission and cooperation of the United States Army. Oh. A likely story. What kind of pictures? You know, I hear it costs nearly $25,000 to make a pilot. That's very educational. Well, don't you think you've wasted enough of the taxpayer's money? We'll set up over there for the next one, Mike. Okay, Miss Bartlett. Oh, of course. That's right. Callan Bartlett, photography's dynamic symmetry girl. Kansas corn silo, steamed turbines, private life of blast furnace. Yes. And I must say I find them even more interesting than junior birdmen. My junior? Yeah. Now, just one thing more. You men who have soloed are starting to feel like pretty hot pilots. During the past week, several minor violations of flying regulations have cropped up. You've heard of Cadet Barker's being turned in for low flying over Fort Houston two days ago. But you may not know that he met the board this morning. And they threw him out. So go easy. You men who haven't soloed yet. I'd like to give you a little tip. The Army can devote just so much time finding out if you're a flyer or not. So make every minute in the air count. That's all for today. Well, Ludlow, I want to see you stick around. Yes, sir. Sit down. Thank you, sir. Ludlow, would you say that I know my business? Well, they think so around here, sir. Why am I losing out in a man who's got everything it takes to be a flyer? That couldn't be me, could it, sir? What's on your mind, Ludlow? Family? Money? Women? What makes you... You tell me, I'm true, sir. I can take it. Ludlow, why don't you forget her? I don't know what you're talking about, sir. Oh, yes, you do. Come on, break down. Oh, I can't forget her. I keep seeing her the way she was the night we busted up. I keep hearing her.  You'll never be anything but a $15 week grease monkey. I was sore, too. I told her to beat it, and she did. After that, I threw up my job and pulled out.  But after a while, I started wondering, maybe it was me. That's one of the reasons I joined the Air Corps. You see, I had to know about myself. If I wash out, then she was right. What if she is right? I know a lot of swell guys who are $15 a week grease monkeys. I had a trouble with you as you're trying too hard. Relax.  It's part of learning to fly a big part. I know that. Now, look, Ludlow. Flyers are just like all other men. They fall into the same two groups, those that women have made happy and those that women have made unhappy. You can't forget this girl, don't try.  You can still be a whale of a flyer. Now, look, Tom, it's very simple. Catastrophic instability is a characteristic of an aircraft which, having deviated from level of flight, 10 to 10... Listen, I've soloed half an eye. Why do I have to learn this, John? You want to know what you're doing, don't you? No, what for? Hey, yeah, I'll tell this guy, will you? What can I tell him? I'm still a groundhog. Hey, Tom, you wanted at Lieutenant Mason's office. Now, what for? They must need some expert advice. Go on, beat it. Catastrophic instability is the characteristic of an aircraft. Don't you mind, Al? Nothing. You've been sitting there all night tying knots in those goggles. Look at that, a perfect sheep shank.  That's nice talk to a hot pilot. Yeah, you're in a class all by yourself, aren't you? Oh, they tell me. Just watch me up there, and maybe you'll solo too. Come on, Al, snap out of it. Here, give me those goggles. Cut it out. Come on before you break them. Let go of you here. Listen, what... You with your dead? I told you to lay off on me.  You never learned, do you? Quit it, Al, listen. What's the matter, young? Nothing, sir. I know you're supposed to be a gentleman down here. You don't have to tell me what I'm supposed to be. Here are any other place. I'm leaving. But before I go, I'm gonna... Al, cut it! Cut it, you hear?  Lucky you caught me that low. I'll wash you out fast for striking an upperclassman. Now, what's this all about? Who started it? I guess I did, sir. Had a little argument. I got sore, and I popped him. I don't blame him for losing his head. He fought too orderly room for discipline and a reaction. Yes, sir. You don't have to take any raps from me.  I wouldn't want to see anybody washed out before he had a chance at what he came here for. Oh, what's the difference? I'll send him me up on a test tomorrow. The last chance I'll get. Oh, Al, I'm sorry I put the rib on. I know how you feel. Oh, that's a laugh. How can you know?  Oh, no. I've been in the storm ever since I got here. You know, what are you talking about? Every time I walk on that flying line, those faces nearly drive me nuts. Three hundred guys there in Jeff, the youngest third to be as good as Joe Dokes. Well, I never figured you were afraid of anything. You want to know something else? The louder I talk, the more scared I am. But that's tricky between you and me. Here. Try wearing my goggles tomorrow. They were lucky for me. Well, thanks, Jeff. Keep swinging, Al. You've still got a chance. In just a moment, Mr. DeMille and our stars Ray Millan, William Holden, and Veronica Lake will return in act two of I Wanted Wing. And here's our young friend Sally. Oh, Sally, I've got a question for you. When it comes to beauty care, don't you suppose there are lots of girls like... well, like this young lady, for instance. It's late evening, and she's getting ready for what she thinks is her beauty sleep. One, two, three, four, up, down, side, twist. That makes ten times. Grand exercise of the waistline, though. Oh, but I'm sleepy. Think I'll just skip the rest and turn in right now. Goodness, Mr. Ruick. Isn't she going to do a thing about her complexion? Is she really going to leave dust and stale cosmetics on her skin all night long? Sally, I'm afraid that young lady doesn't realize what a chance she's taking with her good looks when she neglects complexion care. Well, Mr. Ruick, I think somebody ought to tell her about luxe toilet soap and how little time it takes to give her skin real beauty care every night. Well, Sally, why don't you tell all the ladies in our audience about the luxe soap facial that Hollywood screen stars use? The active lather facial, they say, is such a wonderful beauty aid. Here's all you do. You pat luxe toilet soap's active lather lightly in. It feels so rich, creamy on your skin. You rinse with warm water and follow with a dash of cool.  Now your skin feels exquisitely fresh. And it is. You mentioned luxe toilet soap's active lather, Sally. Yes. Luxe soap has active lather that removes stale cosmetics every trace of dust and dirt. It's thorough, but it's gentle, too. So creamy it's like a caress to your skin. It leaves it feeling beautifully soft and smooth. Thank you, Sally. Nine out of ten lovely screen stars use luxe toilet soap for their million-dollar complexion. If you haven't tried it, why not get three cakes of this luxurious white soap tomorrow? It does fine a soap as money can buy, you know, yet it's so very inexpensive. Try luxe soap active lather facials every day for 30 days. Just see what Hollywood's gentle, protecting care can do for you. Now, our producer, Mr. DeMille. Act two of I Wanted Wing, starring Ray Merland as Jeff, William Holden as Al, and Veronica Lake as Sally Vaughn, with Lynn Carver as Carolyn. Two men stand before the officers of the court martial to testify for their friends. Captain Mercer's voice is quiet as he goes back over the record of Jeff Young, a record which does not appear on paper, but only in the minds of the men who knew him. Jeff Young was a great flyer, sir. He still is. I always believed it was Young who pulled Ludlow through his first solo. That's right, sir. We talked all night before it. You see, I thought I was the only one who was afraid of floppy. But when I found out that Jeff was, too, it gave me some sort of confidence. Well, anyway, I... Oh, I'm sorry, Captain Mercer. That's all right. This is really your part of the story. Oh, thank you, sir. Proceed, please. Yes, sir. Well, I passed my solo, and that night, Jeff and I went out to celebrate. We went to a club near the field. A club column A. I saw you last night and got that home. Take it up, Al. We've got to be on the line at eight in the morning. Now, don't forget, Jeff, this war dances on me. It's all we'll settle out later. Oh, no. I just drew a month's pay. I'm showing you the bright light. Okay. Hey, look over there. That table here at the wall. Ah, what is it? Oh, it's Tom. Yeah, and stabbing me in the back. That's my girl he's with. Your girl? Well, she doesn't know it yet, but I saw her first.  Well, take off. I'm right on your tail. You like this girl, Al? She takes pictures. Well, who cares what she does? How are you, Tom? How's the boy? Oh, hello. Well, well, Mr. Bosson, the woman's work is never done, huh? Who's this? Life, life, or flying cadets? Oh, occasionally I come out of my dark room, Mr. Young. Well, no, that's fine. You don't mind if we try to lighten up the party. No, not at all. Yeah, sit down. Thank you. Miss Bartlett, I'd like you to know Mr. Ludlow, hottest pilot in the class. Hello. Hello. Mr. Cassidy was just telling me the most fascinating story. I know. He had the ball on the two-yard line and his skull cracked. My ribs, not my skull. You see? He's irritable, tired, overworked, and overexposed. Now, look. How about my having the next dance, Miss Bartlett? Certainly. You can find somebody to dance with you. Well, that ought to hold me for a while. I'll take a look around anyway. Aha!  That girl's singing with a band. See her, Al? Oh, yeah, yeah, I see. Well, you ought to put that on the menu. Yeah. Like a meter? Oh, no. No, no, thanks, Jeff. Just wait here. I'll show you how it's done. Excuse me, Miss Bartlett. Is your dancing just as good? Sorry, but I never dance with the customers. Well, if you dance with me, I'll see that you're made an honorary member of the Air Corps. Thanks. But I don't think I'm the type for waiting. Oh, yes you are. Come on. But I don't want to dance. But you are dancing. It's nice, isn't it? Say, who are you? Jeff Young. Jeff Young? No, I know you're crazy. Okay. You aren't really Jefferson Young, are you? Jefferson Young's a third, but just Jeff to you. Thanks. My name's Sally Wong. How are you, Sally?  Well, I'm sorry you're disappointed. I'm not.  Got me all figured out, haven't you? I think so.  I never know what I'm going to do next. And then we were on the ten yard line. It was forced on two minutes ago. Hey, Tom, not while you're dancing. You might forget and go off tackle. Oh, shut it out. Don't pay any attention. In the lunchbox. Who's that fellow cutting in on your girl? Tom Cassidy. My girl. Who says she's my girl? You do. She does, too, with her eyes. Ah, you're way off the court. Hey, come over here. I want you to meet a friend of mine. Hey, Al. Hi, Al. Al, meet Miss Wong. Let's dance together, you two. I'm going to intercept the pass. See you later. Hello, Al. Hello, Sally. Well, that's a warm welcome. Lay off, Sally. I started all over down here. I'm after something new. What'd you follow me for? Don't flatter yourself. I'm here with the band. Oh, good. Stay with it. Okay, Al. That's how it is. Yeah, that's how. You messed up my life once. Once is enough. I've struggled along without you. I just hope you find what you're looking for. Hey, that fellow really Jeff Young. Uh, yeah. And don't waste your time, Sally. He's way out of your league. Thanks, sir. Maybe. Yesterday, so I came instead. Oh, Mr. Young. Hello. I'm rather busy if you don't mind, Al. I don't mind at all. Maybe I can help. Eating a good shot today? Got some great ideas. Thanks, but I've got about everything I need.  That's right. Then what do you do? Well, you'll find me photographing bananas. I'm flying to Guatemala tomorrow. Oh. Oh, I wish I'd known you were leaving. I'd have, well, I... Yeah? Kind of cut my time down. Excuse me. When you, I've got a picture here I'm working on. That's it. Hey, who's that cadet? Friend of yours? I like to think of him as a friend. I don't remember seeing him around here. You ought to know him. You see him every day. He's no glamor boy. His ears are too big. But he'll make a magazine cover just the same. Oh, quite a guy. What's his name? Yankee. Joe Yankee. He's a composite of a lot of the cadets down here. Uh, his chin is yours. Mine? Is that my chin? Why not? You know, it's a funny thing, but I've got a composite picture of a girl, too. A worker and a green smock and a hands-in-hyper solution. She knows all the angles and, uh, waits for development. That's rather cute. Say, look, um, would you mind if I kissed you? No. I don't think so. The way it was, sir. Miss Bartlett left Rand off a couple of days later. But she and Jeff rode each other a lot. Just a moment, please. Yes, sir. Are you sure, Ludlow, that all this has a bearing on the case? Yes, sir. Jeff Young is on trial here for wrecking an army airplane. Yes, sir. It would just give us a little more time. Well, uh, go on, Ludlow. I told you, sir, that Sally had... that Jeff had met Sally Vaughn. But he didn't see her again until... well, until the day we had a crack-up on the field. One of the boys hit the hangar. It wasn't bad, but the plane started to burn, and Jeff was standing by. I... I don't think he was scared. He just couldn't move. Well, somebody else got to the plane and pulled the pilot out. It was Ludlow who did it, sir. I just happened to be there, sir. Anyway, Jeff couldn't forgive himself. That night, he went to the Club Hellenade and took a few drinks. Well, hello, Jeff Young, the third. Sally Vaughn. Well, now I know why I came down here. What took you so long? I was trying to be a flyer. You won't be if they catch you down here on a weekday night. Now, let them catch me. I'm through. I'm no Joe Yankee. Who? I want to fly or buy a blimp. You can buy anything you want. Yeah, anything but wings. You've got to have nerve for that, didn't you know? You've got to have guts. What's the matter, Jeff? What happened? He crashed right in front of me. And I stood there. I knew the guy. He was a friend of mine. And I stood there while he started to burn. Jeff Young, the big shot pilot. Take it easy, Jeff. Forget it. Forget it? Yeah, sure. Look, Sally, stick with me tonight, will you? I don't want to be alone. Just don't leave me. I won't. Come on. Let's get out of here. Isn't it pretty late for you to go around ringing doorbells? They told me that the colonnade, Jeff, was with you. Well, look at that hour-long ring on the house. Nothing's too good for a kind of a cross between St. Gallagher and Daniel Boone.  Yeah, well, we'll talk about that tomorrow, Jeff. Right now, you're coming back. Oh, no, I'm not. Sally and I are pals. She isn't looking for Joe Yankee. Jeff Young is good enough for her. Plenty good enough. Joe said it, Sal. Hey, where's my drink? Oh, it's in the kitchen. Excuse me. Don't go away, Al.  I'm warning you. You're getting what you want down here. Why shouldn't I? You want his dough. I couldn't be on the level, could I? You never were with me. I'll tell him to go back to the field. You must think I'm crazy. I like this guy. How long do you think it'd last, Sally? Jeff's no dope. What happens when he sobers up? I'll see you then for what you are. A smart little tramp with her hooks in him.  Why you? Sally, I'll tell you once more. Send Jeff back or I'll spill the whole story. Just try it. Yeah, we are. Come on, Al.  No, thanks. Jeff, you'd better go back before you get in any more trouble. Huh? Yeah, I'll take a little drink. Jeff, did you hear me? Sure, I heard you when I'm not going. Yes, you are. Come on, now. It's getting late. Oh, so you're running out on me, huh? You're one of those hot and cold propositions. I'm not running out on you, Jeff. I'll be waiting around. Sure, sure.  All right. Better run along. I'll phone you tomorrow. Okay, don't forget. Come on, Al. Going home. That was smart, Sally. Well, now it was. But you or your whole army won't get him away from me. And don't ever forget it. Jeff pulled out of that one all right. It took a little time, but after a while he forgot it. And then Carolyn Bartlett came back from Guatemala. It was the night before we left Randolph Field. There was a dance at the field that night. Celebrate. Did you miss me, Mr. Young? Miss you? Say, the day they turned me loose on Cross Country, almost made it nonstop to Guatemala. Why did you turn back? It was rather lonely down there. Oh, Mr. Cameron must be slipping. I thought he kept you too busy to be lonely. He always did, till I went to Guatemala. Hey, Jeff, you want it on the phone? Huh? Get that telephone call for you. Tear it up. I'm not taking any calls tonight. You better take this one. Oh. Oh, uh, I'm sorry, Carolyn. Go ahead. I'll wait for you outside. Just a little party, our last night at Randolph. I can duck away after this while. Look, I wouldn't do that, Sally. Look, Sally, we've been all through this. I thought we were going to be intelligent about it. What is that? I wish I could think of a better ending, Sally, but I can't. No? Well, maybe I can. I'm sorry, Sally. I've made other plans. Listen, Mr. Young, drop in here at my place after that dance, or I'll start making a few plans of my own. Look, Carolyn, I want to speak to you. Yes, Jeff. Look, while you were gone, I... 56 days. I counted them. You did? I don't look so unhappy. Well, Carolyn, you see, while... Gosh, it's hard to say. Is it? Carolyn, while you were gone, I went into a tailspin. It crashed right on the bandstand of the Colonnade Cafe. How did you know? Oh, I saw it lining you up. But it's over now. Really, it is. I'm sure you wouldn't have asked me if it was. Look, Carolyn, tell me one thing, will you? How was it nobody ever married you before I went? Kelly Field. And pretty soon we were within two weeks of... of getting our wings. That was about all we could think of. You never got your wings, Lotto. Uh, no, sir. You see, there was a formation flight one morning. Jeff and Tom and myself, and... I was the leader. I guess I was feeling too good. I let the formation pretty low over the trees and... Well, hitch-hopping, sir. I knew it was against regulations, but... Tom, Tom went even lower than I let him. He was skimming along the ground and... I knew it was gonna happen. I tried to signal him up, but he didn't see me. Thomas Cassidy. Killed information flight. Albert Ludlow. Eliminated from the service for disobeying regulations. What is this, anyway? Graduation day and they throw out the best man in the class for something he wasn't responsible for any more than I was. We egged you into it. Tom is the one that slipped up. Well, I killed Tom. I'll take what's coming to me. If you'd only listened to me, I'll be gonna cook up a story. Don't you think I felt bad enough about it without lying out of it? And you didn't do me any good when you horned in on the blame. You almost got yourself washed out, too. Oh, what's that difference? I'm quitting anyway. I'm fed up with discipline. They can have a... take a running full twist into the lake. I'm not cool off here. You'll feel better after they pin those wings on me. Wings. I'll hang them up in my trophy room. Now, where do you get off talking like that? You've got no beef.  I'm sorry, Jeff. I guess I'm always cut. It's okay. You all right? You're flying with us this afternoon. Get out there. Yes, sir.  Yeah, sure. Oh, hello, Carolyn. What's the grip for? Huh? Oh, I'm... I'm leaving. I was just watching the formation for a minute. Pretty, isn't it? Al, you can't go like this. Jeff and I have plans for you. Well, thanks, but I'd rather be on my own. Where are you going? Oh, this is a big country. Look, tell Jeff so long and to stay on the beam. You know what I mean. Al, will you...  Say, how many aviators do you kiss, sister? Sally, what are you doing here? I just drove over to congratulate Jeff. So long, Al. That's why I turn up your nose. Oh, Sally, stop it. Try and make me. I know you, sister. I read about you. Big military wedding for Jeff Young III. Where is he? Come on, Sally. Let's get out of here. Let's go on me. I'm tired of being pushed around. So they're giving him his wings. They won't dare when I get through. I'll give him a scan, a little shake the army. I'll tell him a story they won't forget. Oh, now come on. I'll let it go. Jeff hasn't seen her in months. That's your story. He's seen me lots of times. Jeff Young can't pick me up and drop me without seeing where I'm going to land. I'll make him marry me. Oh, Sally, be sensible. You can't do that. Can't I? You'll see if I can't. You'll see. Caroline, do you mind? I'm leaving Al. You'll be all right to me, will you? Bye. Sally. Sally, look at me. Jeff gave you a pretty rotten deal, didn't he? I'll say he did. But I'll make it a squirm. I'll take care of that pal of yours. Ah, he's no pal of mine. Now that's the way he kicked you around. Well, I'm through being kicked around. Oh, well, I don't know what's the matter with me. I don't want to hurt anybody. But they're always hurting me. Sally, Jeff's got another half an hour in the air, and there's no sense starting anything until you've had a talk with him.  All right. Why aren't you up there flying? Oh, me? Uh-huh. They washed me out. Wouldn't you know it? The same ol' Al. You and me both a couple of also ran. Come on, Al. I want that drink. I didn't even wait to see me. Then this telegram came. I'm taking Sally away. We're getting married. Married? Oh, no. Whatever made Al do a thing like that? Can't you imagine? What do you mean? Jeff, have you been seeing Sally? Yes. She threatened to go to the commandant. I wanted my wings, so I saw her and gave her a check. Do you think that takes care of everything? What do you expect me to do? But, Jeff, you can't use a checkbook for a conscience. Well, what's that got to do with us? A lot. Look, I've had a swell time on my own, Jeff. I've got to know what I'm giving it up for. Just because Sally suddenly... She was here this afternoon. She wanted to make trouble. I spoke to her and floated Al. What'd she say? Don't you know? Al drove away with her. You wouldn't be getting your wings today if it weren't for him. Pleasant thought, isn't it? I wonder if you're worth what he did for you. No. I don't think I am. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. After a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille presents Ray Malan, William Holden, and Veronica Lake in Act 3 of I Wanted Wings. Let's drop in now at one of the parties being given for our boys in the service. Hey, Joe, be a pal. Look, over there. See the slim destroyer in blue? Convoy me over, will you? That sailor talk for... I want to meet that pretty girl in the blue dress. Introduce me, will you? Now that our young sailor friend has his introduction... Mind if I tell you blues, my favorite color? Especially when it goes with the peaches and cream complexion. Peaches and cream. That's certainly far from a new expression, but even our modern sailor boy can't think of a better way to describe a lovely luck-soap complexion. Smooth and radiantly fresh. That's the kind of complexion that gives a girl real beauty. Beauty that never fails to attract admiring eyes. Hollywood stars know this. Here's what charming Madeleine Carroll says. There's always romance in soft, smooth skins. Complexion beauty should be cherished. I use luck-toilet soap every day. It has such wonderful, creamy lather. Now, why don't you take a tip from this distinguished star?  When you unwrap a cake with this fine soap, notice how satiny smooth it is to the touch. That's a promise of the rich, creamy lather luck-toilet soap gives. Lather that's quick and abundant, even in hard water. Your complexion is precious to you. Are you missing out by not using your soap that's as gentle and fine as you can buy? Luck-toilet soap costs so little. Remember, it's hard milled. That means every cake can be used down to the last thin sliver. Start using luck-toilet soap, Hollywood's beauty soap, tomorrow. Now, Mr. DeMille returns to the microphone. Curtain rises on the third act of I Wanted Wings, starring Ray Merland, William Holden, and Veronica Lake, with Lynn Carver. The story continues. The record of a man who wanted wings. The officers of the court martial hear the testimony of Albert Ludlow. When I took Sally away and married her, I felt good about it. At least I was doing something I didn't have to be ashamed of. I was helping Jeff get his wings. The marriage didn't last long. It couldn't. We moved to a cheap flat in Kansas City. All right, I'm coming. Oh, did you forget your key again? Yeah, I'm sorry. I was talking on the phone. I'll go ahead. Hello, Tony? Look, what about a spot for me at the Paradise? Listen, I'm a married woman now. I don't want a trip to Florida. I want a job. Okay, Tony, skip it. I'm sorry I bothered you. Tony Vanessa, the wolf. Well, what happened today? Nothing. You mean you didn't get... I told you nothing.  I only asked a question. Well, it would have been a commissioned job anyway. Don't kid me, Al. You didn't want that job. You don't want any job except flying. I'm sure with flying. I don't want any part of it. Dinner ready?  I don't have to stay here. I can skip right now. You think the baby's stopping me? Well, there isn't any baby there never was. Oh, I knew that, darling. You knew? Then what did you marry me for? Does it matter? So you didn't want to help me because you thought... you didn't care anything about this? What a sucker I've been. Trying to make a goal of a two-cent marriage when all the time you're just grandstanding for a guy named Jeff Young. It's on me, isn't it, Al? All right. But I'm walking out now. She left that night. I don't know where. I came out to the coast and enlisted in the service as a mechanic stationed at March Field. One day, I heard there was going to be maneuvers. A lot of new ships came in. Bombers. And that night, Jeff blew in with Katzmann. Form sheet on 64, sir. I told you to drain those pressure gauges. They're taking off tonight and not next week. Yes, sir. Young, is that the B-17 we borrowed from Hamilton? Yes, sir. Just roll her in. That brings us water at the full strength. Keep them enlisted, men, but we'll supply the officers. Yes, sir. I haven't checked the new ship yet, sir. Excuse me. Go to it. Proceed up front, sir. Coming. Get down here, will you? Al! Oh, Jeff, is that you? Oh, for the love of Pete. Where were you? Where have you been? Oh, gee. You look swell, Jeff.  I've dragged the whole country for you. Well, I moved around pretty much. What about Sally? Oh, last I heard she was in Florida. We're washed up. Uh, how's Carolyn? Oh, I haven't seen her since graduation. Oh, I don't get it. You two were dead right for each other. What happened? Where is she? Oh, she's up north somewhere. I keep myself too busy to think about it. But say, crew chief on Obama, mister, you're doing all right on a year. Oh, acting crew chief, sir. Oh, don't give me that sir stuff. All right, I ought to be taking orders from you. Come on, I'll meet you commanding officer. What's wrong with this emergency release? Door doesn't drop, sir. Aircraft supply won't have parts until tomorrow. Well, that'll all. I can't stay away from it, can I? Well, if I can't fly him, sir, at least I can polish their wings. I'm glad you're back with it. Oh, thank you, sir. I'll get the checklist, sir, right back. As the manager should be flying, Captain. Can we do something? I've got a friend or two in the chief's office. Cases have been reconsidered before. And but right now, we've got other things to do. Players installed in the Bombay. All set, sir? Good enough. Oh, well. Oh, that emergency release is okay now. Well, look, Al, I spoke to Mercer but another crack at Kelly. He said he'd go to bat for you. Oh, do you think there's a chance? You know Mercer. If there is, he'll swing it. Oh, boy, the way I feel right now, I could swing the ship over my shoulder and carry it out of the hangar. Look, I'm late for the pilot's meeting. But when we get back tonight, well, we've got a lot to talk about. See you then. Yeah, see you, Jeff. Uh, Charlie, what about that turbo supercharger? It's all okay. I'm working on the carburetor. Uh, when you finish knockoff for a while, right? And if you want me, I'll be, uh, right outside the hangar. What can I find Lieutenant Young? Al. Oh, Sally, what are you doing here? Al, help me. Help me. They followed me. The police are out there now. Get out of here. Al, I'm your wife. I'm in a jam of bad one. Tony Vanessa's dead. Somebody shot him, killed him. They framed me. They said I did it. Did you? Al, please. Did you? And I'd do it again. I'd do it again. You've always helped me, Al. You've never turned me down.  He hit me. He hurt me.  You can't stay here. Now, have you got any money? No. Oh, here. There's everything I've got. Now, wait around the hangar until you see your chance, and then get back to Los Angeles. Will you meet me there? No, you're on your own, Sally. Oh, please. I don't know where to turn. I've got to talk to somebody. I'm all alone tomorrow night, Al, at the station. Please, Al. All right.  Now, get out of here. We're taking off in maneuvers. The ship took off a few minutes later. Jeff was pilot, and I was on his crew chief. But what I didn't know was that Sally was on it, too. She was hiding in the bomb bay. She didn't have time to get off. When I went back, I saw her. She was scared. Al, get me out of here. I'm sick, Al. I can't breathe. I'm scared.  Don't be crazy. You want them to see you?  And stay put. And look out for those flares. In 15 seconds, they could blow us all to glory. Understand? But I can't stand it any longer. I can't. Well, now you will. Now get over there. Al, don't leave me in here. Look out. Then what happened? It sparks all over the bomb bay. And I'm not sure just what did happen. I can take it up from there, sir. Go on, Captain Mercer. I heard a little old call live flares. I went back, and we started to unload it through the bomb bay door. We got the flare through all right, but I slipped and fell. Bomb bay door was wide open. I tried to grab the catwalk, but the slipstream was pulling me out of the plane. Ludlow tried to hold me, and we both went down. We had our chutes on, of course, but mine was late and opening. I hit a train, was knocked unconscious. Young saw the chutes and started down after us. He landed in a narrow space surrounded by hills. When I came to for a minute, he was leaning over me. You all right, sir?  A spot like this. I didn't. We made it, sir. We're getting you out. It's pretty badly hurt. We have to get you to a hospital. No, no. We're staying here. Notify March if you're staying here. Oh, he's dying, Jeff. What are we going to do? I'm taking off. I don't care at March. We can't get out. We really can't get out. We can't get out. Listen, men. I'm in command now. We're taking off. Anybody like to stay? All right, bring that stretcher. All set for the takeoff, sir? All right. Give me every last inch of manifold pressure. Those engines are taking up running up. Go ahead. Wide open, sir. Can we go out? Jeff, go and try. More pressure. More pressure. That's all we've got, sir. There's gotta be more. Watch it, Jeff. Watch it. Jeff, look out. The ridge. Jeff! Everybody all right? Any of the crew hurt? Nothing serious, sir. We've sent out a message. We've sent it young. Yeah? There's a girl back there, sir. A girl?  She must have been on the table of the ship, sir. She's badly hurt. Bloodlose with her. I, I hurt her. I can stop. I can go away. That's how it's not hurting now. You're, you're a really good guy. She's gone. She's gone, Jeff. Her troubles are over. Nobody can hurt her anymore. You know something? I loved her. Yeah, I, I couldn't help it. Lieutenant Young pleaded guilty. She healed me. He said the court would never believe that I didn't know my wife was on the ship. He said I'd be finished for good. I'd never get another chance. He said he knew he had to go, but there was no sense in both of us taking him. That's all, sir. The court will reconvene in one hour. Have the accused and the witnesses present. Excuse me. Is Lieutenant Young in the court? He's in the car at a somewhere, miss. Oh, there he is. Oh, thank you. There, there hasn't been any decision yet. In a few minutes, I think. Good luck, Jeff. Carolyn. I, I thought you might want to see me. Want to see you? I'd like to tell you how much, but I can't. Why, Jeff? Don't you know? I had about a tired tin can to my tail. But thanks for coming, anyway. I need to stay this time. Nope. I wouldn't ask you to hang my dishonorable discharge.  That won't matter. Not to you, maybe. But it would to me. Jeff, they want you inside. Thanks. Goodbye, Carolyn. I'll be waiting, Jeff. That verdict's for me, too. The accused will face the court. Of the specification, charge one, not guilty. The court finds the lieutenant young's decision to disregard Captain Mercer's command was justified under the extraordinary circumstances. Of the specification, charge two, not guilty. That formation, Carolyn. Beautiful, isn't it? Oh, yeah. I remember standing like this with Al one time. Which plane is his, Jeff? There's so many of them. He's the first. Right up there where he belongs. Finally got his wings, isn't he? Yep. They need men like Al. Men to fly the greatest ships to work and build. We're getting them. We're getting the planes, too. You think that's a lot up there? That's Galby Black with them someday and soon. Yes, we'll get our wings, American wings, American fighters. To the men with wings, all honor and good hunting. To Rameland, Bill Holden and Veronica Lake, we dip our wings for an exciting performance. It may be the Air Corps cadets of a few weeks back at the first line fighting pilots of today. So wherever they may be, Iceland, Hawaii, Batan or Australia, we have one wish for them. Happy learning. And a promise that we won't fail them. What's the best way for us to help, Mr. DeMille? There isn't a man, woman or child in the country who can't help by doing his or her job a little better, working a little harder. If 130 million Americans all work a little harder, more planes, more tanks and more guns, we'll come rolling off the assembly lines, and there'll be more ships to carry them to armies that'll use them at the right places and at the right time. The word of the hour is work and more work. We're going to buy plenty of the United States saving bonds and stamps to pay for those planes and guns. Bonds every payday and stamps in between. And I can hear an echo of that from Maine to California. Veronica, you're the only one in our cast who hasn't visited the Lux Radio Theater before, but I'd like to assure you now that your first visit will not be your last. Thank you, Mr. DeMille. I am a stranger to this theater, but far from a stranger to Lux soap. I've used it for a long time now, so I know how really fine it is. A Lux complexion is something every girl wants. And you'd have, Veronica. There's luck in that Lux soap. What about next week, Mr. DeMille? Got a play? We certainly have, Bill. And it's one to make us all stand up and cheer, because it's the Warner Brothers hit the Fighting 69th, and our stars will be Pat O'Brien, Robert Preston and Ralph Delaney. This is a thrilling story of the First World War, the story of a regiment with famous names like Wild Bill Donovan and Father Duffy on its roster. If you're looking for a drama of action and adventure and raw courage, you'll like the Fighting 69th next Monday evening. Well, it sounds great, Mr. DeMille. I want to hear it. Well, good night. Just a moment before you all go. Bill Holden hasn't been talking about it much, but I think the audience would like to know that he's going into the Army on April 11th. Well, thanks, everybody. Good night. Good night. Good night. Good night to all of you. And deep and quiet, the sponsors, the makers of Lux's pilot soap, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night. When the Lux Radio Theatre presents Pat O'Brien, Robert Preston and Ralph Delaney in the Fighting 69th. Mr. Cephal B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. William Holden is currently starring in the Paramount picture, The Fleet's Inn. Veronica Lake is now being seen on the screen in the Paramount production, Sullivan's Travel. Heard in tonight's play were Warren Ashe as Captain Mercer, and Leo Cleary, Boyd Davis, Arthur Gilmore, Riff Barnett, Edward Maher, and Howard McNear. Tune in next Monday night to hear Pat O'Brien, Robert Preston, and Ralph Delaney in the Fighting 69th. Our music was directed by Lewis Silver and your announcer has been Melville Roy.


Hi everyone. So this is a video on my glossary because I had been asked some questions by a viewer on my glossary and how I worked it. So basically I just wanted to show how it's done. You don't need something fancy and complicated but here this is glossary as you can see and I have sheet one. When I have new terms that need to go in so I'll just enter them here and then every now and then I want them since I want them in alphabetical order what I'll do is I'll just basically select everything and I want an alphabetical order from the uh from column B which will be the source text. I translate from Italian into English. What I do then is I click data, sort, sort by column B, sort on value, sure, and I press okay and so it should be somewhere there we go. Dm decreto minestediate ministerial decree right here. That's it and I just like to keep them just so I have access to them if in the future I come across something you know GR. I know that GR stands for junta regionale which is regional council. Now these are all on one file just so they're easy to find. I have a couple as you can see here violino. The reason I have that is I did some translation for this uh for violins basically and so I just wanted to record these terms but I didn't want to create a new sheet just for these I don't know handful of terms so I put a note next to them you know on to the side so I know that if I see a titsa which couldn't mean height usually but if it is in the context of violins or music or anything like that it usually means pitch. Now I do have another file called Switzerland which is even more rudimentary because I translate from Italian to English but I deal a lot with the Italian part of Switzerland. Acronyms or legal terms etc are very specific to Switzerland or to the Italian part of Switzerland and so in Italy they will be very different. Many times these are harder to find for me so when I do find them I want to keep them in a separate file also because if I'm translating Swiss documents I know that I should search here. Otherwise that's it the client ones I'm not going to click on them again I'm not sure if there's anything proprietary there so I won't click on them but they're basically the same kind of deal that client sent me and that I used for them I hold on to them in case I deal with them in the future or there's a follow-up to those translations I worked on and that's pretty much it. As you can see this is very simple what I do and yet I do find it useful and I'm adding to it all the time and so I definitely recommend you start keeping a glossary. There are many better ways and more advanced ways to keep glossaries but when you start out something like this works great and so by all means just keep it on excel or even one of those spreadsheets you know the open docs or google spreadsheet something like that will work fine as well and that's pretty much it. I hope you found this useful and I'll talk to you next time. Don't forget to click like if you did find this useful and please subscribe as well so you can get more useful tips. Thanks. Bye.
