The Roma Wine Company of Fresno, California, presents... Suspense. Roma Wines bring you Mr. Joseph Cotton. A star of the earth is made of glass. A suspense play produced, edited and directed for Roma Wines by... William Spear. Suspense. Radio's outstanding Theater of Thrills. Is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A. Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness and entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant. As Roma Wines bring you Mr. Joseph Cotton. In a remarkable tale of... Suspense. Good morning, Dr. West. Good morning, Miss Adams. Well, there's one bed vacant this morning. I see that 4.36. Mr. Steele died 4 a.m. Yes, I was there. Coronary thrombosis. You're not terribly concerned, Dr. West? Why should I be especially concerned? Well, the day nurse, Miss Rosenberg, said that you and Mr. Steele... You girls gossip too much. Yes, doctor. But I understand there's no family. What am I going to do with Mr. Steele's things? What things? Well, his overcoat. This parcel was in it. This book. He said it was his journal and he told Miss Rosenberg you would have it. He said it had important scientific data. Well, give it here. Yes, doctor. Journal of Richard Thomas Steele. Important scientific data, I'll bet. I still can't figure out what was eating that guy. But he had to say to me that was so darn important. What do people want to keep diaries? July 26th, not a fruitful day. The weather this morning was heavy, sticky. Lord knows what crazy stuff he's written here. July 26th, not a fruitful day. The weather this morning was heavy, sticky. I stayed indoors with the blinds drawn, spent three and a half hours arranging and cataloging a shipment of books. And I must say I gloated over my new volume of bacon, goal leaf, uncut, 1836, a treasure. In the afternoon I ventured out to play chess with Elliot. He's an uninspired player and a worse conversationalist. I'm appalled that a man of Elliot's pretension still wallows in 18th and 19th century thought patterns, twaddle in sentimentality. He's totally unaware of the potentialities of modern science. It was so apparent to me when we got into that argument over Ralph Waldo Emerson. I was thumbing through a volume he had of Emerson's essay. He's a cheap re-print at that. And I was annoyed by a paragraph in the essay called compensation. I must have snorted because Elliot fairly leaped at me. Certainly I think there's compensation for everything. Tid for tat, measure for measure, love for love. Do you contend, Elliot, that no matter what a man does it comes back to him? One way or another? Yes, yes it does. Then if I do good, I get good back? Yes, I believe that, Richard. And if I commit a crime, I'm of necessity punished? Well, it depends what you mean by punished.  Isn't that what Emerson says? I want to know what you believe. Well, I believe what he says. Well, I'll read what he says. Discount the poetry, old man. He used lush language.  Commit a crime and it seems as if a coat of snow fell on the ground such as reveals in the woods, the tracks of every pot ridge and fox and squirrel and mole. You cannot recall the spoken word. You cannot wipe out the foot track. You cannot draw up the ladder so as to leave no inlet or clue. Some damning circumstance always transpires. The laws and substance of nature, water, snow, wind, gravitation become penalties to the thief. Well, Elliot? Beautiful, isn't it? You read very well.  We're discussing his theory. I don't see how there can be any argument. We know... We know a good deal more than Emerson, you old fellow, especially about the laws and substances of nature. We've tested the substances, learned control over the laws, the scientific method, Elliot. It cancels out every word your friend Emerson wrote, let's say, in compensation. The scientific method. I'd like to see it applied to some situations in nature, to human nature. All right. Say you commit a murder. Very, very well. Say I do.  Call it your conscience. That's what Emerson means.  What kind of a murder is that? Let me put it this way. When the police catch a murderer, they have found a connection between the murderer and his victim. Motive includes, right? No. And when a murderer is caught by his conscience, it is still because he is connected with his victim through his emotions. I agree so far. Well, how is a murderer caught if he is in no way connected with his victim? Well, that's not possible. I don't know. There could be a pure abstract murder, a murder occurring in almost a vacuum, a murder in which the only connection between the two participants is the unadulterated act of killing. July 28th, the weather continues warm humidity high. Today I roamed around my library, read a little, thought a great deal. It's odd that I should keep referring back to my conversation with Elliot. Abstract murder, a laboratory murder. I jotted down one or two theoretical points today. It will be an amusing project in such hot weather. July 29th, what utter nonsense to think as I have of a laboratory experiment carried out in writing on paper. It's a contradiction in terms. The core of the scientific method is to prove theory in life. So let us prove the possibility of a pure murder. It must be someone met in an emotional and material vacuum, someone with whom I have no connection, someone whom I have no possible reason to kill. The preparations for such a murder are of necessity, classically simple. This afternoon I bought my equipment. Gloves, sir? What kind of gloves? Oh, any kind of gloves. But what do you want them for? Driving? Gardening? I want gloves I can use for anything. Well, we call these utility gloves. Yes, sir. Those will be excellent. Thank you. What size, sir? Any size, medium. Well, now, these look just about... No, no, no. I don't want to try them on. I'll take them as they are. Just wrap them up. Yes, sir. Just as you say. You know, I'm very fond of a genuine old-fashioned hardware store in Mr. Jeremy, like yours. Yes, and a lot of people tell me that, Mr. Steele. Yeah. Anything special you're looking for? I don't know. I suppose I'm just browsing. Yes, sir. Oh, what are those? Ice picks? Yes, sir. And pre-war metal, too. You want one? No, no. I have one. My, quite a selection. Screwdrivers? Oh, there's something I want. Oh, a knife? One of those. Well, to be fair with you now, those are pretty poor knives. Doesn't matter. Well, just no darn good as far as I can see. The best possible recommendation, Mr. Jeremy. I'll take it. A meaningless knife, all-purpose gloves, knife and gloves new, factory-made, uncondaminated by human association, smelling only of the harsh, impersonal machines which turned them out. My first safeguards against the intrusion of emotion. In a laboratory, this procedure would be called controls, to complete the controls. Who would it be? I must never see his or her face. I must never know his or her name, age, occupation, thoughts or desires. I must come into contact with this victim as casually as though we were blown together by the wind. There can be no selection, no volition on my part except the elementary volition necessary to raise my arm to kill. July 30. The exact record of what has occurred. I must write it down now while it is fresh in my mind. It will be absolutely precise and objective. Very well. Tonight, at some undetermined hour after dinner, I left my house on 74th Street with a new gloves and knife in my right-hand coat pocket. The only external circumstance I noted was that the air was hot, heavy and still. But after all, everyone is affected equally by weather, so my consciousness of it was no limitation on my experiment. I walked an undetermined number of blocks taking care to observe no street signs or landmarks. I observed only one thing, that there were many people on the street. In fact, I became aware only vaguely that I was pushing through a rather dense crowd, but I deafened myself completely to any specific words or conversations. Brilliant recording. Brilliant. And although I imagine there was traffic passing in the street, I successfully blotted out all sound except for a dull roar. It seemed to me that the ominous heat had increased. The stillness of the air was the most powerful. Perhaps it brought me sooner to the final resolution of my plan. But when I found my progress through the crowd blocked by what I can only describe as a human, I raised my knife and drove it into the back with all my force. I can't stand with this. I continued walking without haste, pausing only a fraction of a second to hear. He's fallen! Get back! Give him air! Give him air! To hear those few words, he's fallen. Give him air. He needed no air. I knew that. And thus, I heard confirm my unqualified belief that I had taken without any possible consequence to myself a human being's life. For suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you as star Mr. Joseph Cotton. In The Earth Is Made of Glass by Sylvia Richards. Roma Wines' presentation tonight in Radio's Outstanding Theatre of Thrills. Suspense. Between the acts of suspense, this is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines. First call to my dinners says Miss Elsa Maxwell is Roma California Sherry. For this delicious wine is a perfect beginning to a good meal. In fact, this famous hostess goes on to say, Roma Sherry is an ideal wine because you can enjoy it any time of day or night. Gold and amber with a rich nut-like taste. Glorious Roma Sherry is at its most delightful best, served cool. Roma Sherry, like all the famous Roma Wines, is made from carefully selected grapes, from California's choicest vineyards. Grapes gathered at the peak of their flavor goodness when every grape is hanging firm and full on the vine, then quickly but gently pressed. Finally, by a process as slow and as old as time, brought to delicious liquid perfection by Roma's skilled vintners. Yes, all Roma Wines are true wines, always unvaryingly good, bottled at Roma's own famed wineries. Enjoy Roma Wines regularly, for only pennies a glass. Remember, because of uniformly fine quality at reasonable cost, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine. Always ask for Roma. R-O-M-A. Roma Wines. And now Roma Wines bring back to our Hollywood soundstage, Joseph Cotton has Richard Thomas Steele in The Earth Is Made of Glass, a play well calculated to keep you in suspense. August 1st, I was unable to write in my journal yesterday because of the excessive heat. I suffered all day from a headache and a vibration in my ears. I'm writing today only to have on record the final control in my experiment, my laboratory murder. To assure complete ignorance of the identity of my victim, I shall read no newspapers for a period of two or three weeks and a whole conversation with anyone apt to be morbidly interested in murders reported in the tabloid press. Compensation. Cut-tut, Mr. Emerson. August 4th, the heat is unbearable. All day I have felt that odd heavy vibration in my head. Now also in my arms and body, it is almost constant in a one, two, three rhythm and sometimes it is a sound as well as a vibration like the distant sound of the sea. I consult the doctor. Last night I was kept awake by the throbbing in my head and in the morning I was subjected to a new agony. Very softly at first, but louder and louder like voices heard in delirium, my head became filled with an almost hysterical babbling. Brilliant. A passionata. A passionata. A passionata. Brilliant. Brilliant. A passionata. A passionata. Brilliant. Brilliant. A passionata. A passionata. Brilliant. Brilliant. It is a nice passionata. But for an instant have the voices stopped or even paused and they seem to keep time with the vibration at my heart. A passionata. A passionata. August 8th. I have no need to consult a doctor. Now I know the nature of my illness. Last night I turned to music trying to drive the unspeakable uproar from my brain. When I put the records on the machine, the Frank violin sonata and settled back to hear the first flowing melody of the violin something happened. The music swelled and changed and became the a passionata. Beethoven's a passionata. Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant. Then I knew I turned off the music. The devil's cycle began once more. The sound and voices rose to a bedlam shrieking like the voices of fiends rose to a dreadful climax. Brilliant. Brilliant. A passionata. In spite of every precaution, my murder had not taken place in a vacuum. Brilliant. My shield had been penetrated by those fragments of sound and speech echoing in my ears. Speech about a concert. Yes. Brilliant. I remembered how. I read that Schnapel was to play an all Beethoven concert in Carnegie Hall on July 30th. In the clanging of bells, that was a trolley going by on Seventh Avenue. Brilliant. And I'd also heard and identified the roll and crash of Summer Thunder. That was the sound which proceeded and punctuated a woman's scream. Damn it, I can't. Well, it may be possible to drive all this away in time, but the other thing which sets the rhythm for the rest, the pulsing sound I hear, when I drove that knife home into a human being's heart, the vital rhythm of the heart, the mighty leap and contraction of the heart's muscle on the blade of the knife was transmitted back to me through my hand in the veins indelibly recorded in the beat of my own blood. August 11th. While I am still able to reason, I must discover where I erred and act swiftly to correct my error. There is no turning back. The death I caused is a fact. I cannot banish it by wishing. For each day I remember something more. Today, the color of his hair. Photographed between the black color of his coat and his grey hat, I saw it. Clipped, silky, reddish. And I had an insatiable desire to turn the head to see his face. There is one course left to me. I will reverse my plan. I will learn. I will learn in every possible detail the person whom I killed. Learn to know him. Construct a total portrait then. I will attempt to discard this portrait in its entirety. I beg your pardon, Miss. Where are the newspaper files? I'll have to get them for you. The week of July 30th. Which paper? The Times. I'll start with that. Just a moment. I want them for the whole week. For all the copies for July, bound. And these loose ones are August so far. Thank you. They must not be taken out of the reading room. The reading room is too right. Will you need them long? It may, may take me some time. I don't know. I'm doing some rather intensive research. Return them to the desk when you're through. I opened the bound volume near the end and immediately saw his picture. Page one, center. The photograph was blurred, but without reading a word, I had recognized him because he matched his hair.  The hair growing to a slight widow's peak, eyes widely spaced, gray or very light blue, mouth wide, young and strong. Then I read the words above the picture. Young man slain in crowd. That was all I read because at a moment, someone spoke to me. Pardon me. When you're finished with that volume, can I look at it? It was impossible. It couldn't be. Standing at my shoulder, smiling. Young, apparently, as alive as I, but it was. He was there. He, my victim. The face and the paper in his face were the same. I swear they were the same. I'm sorry to bother you. The girl at the desk said you had the July volume of the time. Yes, I, I'm sorry. Did I startle you? Your, your picture, I, I'm looking at your picture. My picture? Well, you mean in the paper? I don't see any picture. He's dead. I, I know he's dead.  I saw him fall. I must believe that he is truly dead. And the dead in either walk nor speak. But today on Fifth Avenue. Hello. What? What's wrong? Are you ill? No. No, no, I'm all right.  You're still green. Are you sure? I'm all right. Because I live right near here if you want to lie down. No, no, no, please. Well, it's up to you. I can't make you come. But I don't like to see anyone suffer needlessly. August 20th. He doesn't like to see anyone suffer. Yet because of him, there is not one day, one hour when I am free from despair and fear. Yes, I accept him now. And the dead do walk and talk. At least one dead man does. Inevitably. If I venture out of my house, he finds me today. I started down the subway steps at 53rd Street after I'd looked to make sure he wasn't anywhere nearby. But I'd gone only three or four steps and I felt my arm jostle and my turn. Pardon. Oh, you again. I'll bet you think I'm haunting you. He is what do you want? Look, I don't want anything. Let's just call it fate or something. Why don't you let me alone? I'd begun to think that maybe we were both to be spared this. So, so, so would I. If I were superstitious, I'd say we had some unfinished business. Please, will you tell me something? Will you answer one question? Do. Do you believe in compensation? You'll have to explain what you mean. If someone does evil, if I have done evil, must I get evil back? Well, say it again. Do you believe in good for good, evil for evil? Look, look, what about killing? Well, there's all sorts of killing. But, but senseless killing. Killing with no reason. What is the compensation for that? You've asked a pretty complicated question of a pretty simple man. The only thing that comes to my mind right off is what it says in the Bible. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. That's what you believe? Why, yes, I believe that. Is that any help to you? Yes. Oh yes. Anything you say would help. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, like a man. The price asked by the only one who can ask it. What will you have, quote God? Pay for it and take it. Well, I'll pay. For I've learned that no event between two human beings can happen in a vacuum. We're all enmeshed bound together through our blood in a pulsing net. And if one of us does violence to another, he does violence to himself. Very well. This price I am glad to pay. There is no other way. Are you awake, Mr. Steele? Where am I? You're in Washington Hill Hospital. How do you feel? Hospital, but I, I mustn't die. I have to die. Not if we can keep you from it. I have to. Did, did I bleed much? Bleed? From the knife. You had a heart attack, Mr. Steele. Coronary. No, I tell you here. I, I stabbed myself here. Where's the doctor? Lie down, Mr. Steele. The doctor will be here in a minute. I have to make him understand. I promised to die. You promised? Well, here's the doctor now. Yes, but I, you. Well, Mr. Steele. I tried to tell her. I tried to, to tell her that I... Call another doctor for this patient nurse. But doctor? You tell her. The earth is made of glass. That if I don't die, you'll always find me. I know that. But tell her. Tell her the, the evil thing I have done so she'll let me die. Dr. West has pulsed. Emerson said it. I carry a malignity in me. But when I die, I make square the eternal account. Make square the eternal account. Well, Miss Adams, that's all there is. The Journal of Richard Thomas Steele. Doctor, I don't remember reading of that murder. Do you? No. No, I don't. Who was the man he met? Who was it he thought he'd killed? It was me. You, Dr. West? Just as he described it. First in the library, and then in the drugstore, near my home, on buses, in the park. I couldn't imagine what was bothering him. But who did he kill? Really? I don't know. But I have an idea. Where's the package you found in his coat? Right here. Shall I open it? Yes, go on. You see. The gloves. And the knife. And they've never been used. Then he never killed anyone. No. Richard Steele never drove a knife into a living back. But in his way, he killed. In his mind, he killed. I guess old Emerson would say even for that kind of crime, there's compensation. Commit a crime. And the earth is made of glass. Roma wines have brought you Joseph Cotton, as star of the earth is made of glass. Study in suspense. This is Truman Bradley for Roma Wines, the sponsor of suspense. These days, as Miss Elsa Maxwell, world-famous hostess, more and more people serve only one dish for dinner, with a salad and probably a sweet. That's why I'm sure so many more people serve Roma Wines, because Roma Wines adds so much to a simple meal. With a savory pot roast, for example, I recommend glasses of good Roma. California Burgundy served cool. Now, that's a good suggestion from Elsa Maxwell, for Roma Burgundy is a handsome wine with a good warm heart. Try it and discover how happily its tart pecancy goes with meats. And if you enjoy cocktails before dinner, you'll make better cocktails with Roma's full-flavored Bermouth, sweet or dry, made and bottled in the heart of California's famous vineyards. Yet surprisingly low priced. Try Roma Bermouth soon, won't you? We would like to thank Joseph Cotton for appearing in the place of Clifton Webb, whose illness prevented his being with us this evening. Joseph Cotton appeared through the courtesy of David O. Selznick, producer of Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound. Next Thursday, you will hear George Murphy in Suspense, Radio's outstanding theatre of thrills. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

Hi, this unit discusses the formal differences between the types of verbs in PDE, that is, between auxiliary verbs and main verbs, between primary and secondary auxiliary verbs and between catinative and full lexical verbs. In the virtual session, we will first look at the syntactic category verb. Using the so-called NICE, that is the N-I-C-E criteria, we will not only draw distinction between auxiliary verbs and lexical verbs, but we will also define different types of auxiliaries. A special section is dedicated to the formal description of catinative verbs, a category that may be completely new for you. If you need guidance, you can use the question sheet with its hyperlinks for help. The mastery worksheet, another dynamic multiple-choice test, exhibits a number of questions to find out whether you have understood the main aspects of the category verb in PDE. In the practical, you will find data about verbs embedded within sentences, ready to be analyzed, and I'm sure you will profit a lot of it.


Stand by. Armed Forces Day is always special for Americans. It has been set aside and properly so to pay tribute to you, the dedicated men and women who proudly wear the uniforms of our nation's military services. This year's Armed Forces Day theme is from the preamble to our Constitution. The words of this theme, Securing the Blessings of Liberty, offer both a challenge and a guarantee for now and the future.  The guarantee is that all of us will share in the blessings of that liberty that you protect so ably and at such great sacrifice. We celebrate this day to give all Americans an opportunity to recognize members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard and the role our Constitution assigns to them. The calendar proclaims it a once-a-year event, but you who stand in the ramparts of freedom know that Armed Forces Day is every day. You know that eternal vigilance truly is the price of freedom. As your commander-in-chief and as an American, I salute your efforts on this special day.  God bless you.


The attack took place as a tricycle operator shadowed a practice later today. Now one of the three persons killed was a tricycle operator, but the planned practice was said to be in connection with the perceived high fees imposed on the transporters by their leaders. Police spokesman E. King got tortured, did not answer calls to his phone on the incident, but a senior police officer who preferred anonymity confirmed the incident blaminate on cultists.


The former presidential candidate under the platform of the defund Alliance for Democracy AD has stated that there won't be room for rigging in the 2023 general elections and urged politicians to move to the grassroots for successful efforts in the campaigns. Jifalu Falai made his disclosure while commissioning the National Secretariat of the Social Democratic Party SAP in Abuja expressed joy at the revival of the party. While displaying joy, the elder statesman expressed confidence in the party's flag bearer Barristar Adeboli Adebayo and assured supporters that the party will take over the villa and other state government houses in 2023. The best privilege and honor for the leadership of the new secretariat of the Social Democratic Party, the only party in Nigeria. Others have no manifesto, they have no ideology. The highest opportunity can go for power. This is the only party. In the name of Allah, I have the privilege to call the clip for the benefit of Nigerians and for the glory of God. They can see that Egypt is not eradicating poverty. Poverty will produce children and the children, one of them will be insecure with another developer and disunity because a poor people in a tense environment, in an insecure environment, cannot be asked to practice love to one another. They will be lashed out against one another. An institution will be undermined by poor people who are struggling in their life and those who have opportunities to manage the future will be using the traditional resources to escape from poverty personally. So, we are now back 30 years later. We are telling Nigerian people through the same policy of what we are doing. Today, I hope we do something. That through this office, through the through Nigerian people, through this office, justice to dispense our consequences, through this office, the money transfer of MQADL, farewell to poverty and insecurity, and the constitutional mandate in chapter 2 of the Nigerian Constitution for us to spend the money of Nigerian people in the income of Nigerian people. It won't be a good thing. I want to thank my brother, Srinu Kapoor. Without you, I would not be in this position.

It was a solid day I'm gonna say so I'm gonna break down the entire race in two days from now But I will just say this much age is a number. All right as a 33 year old two years ago It was a 33 or was I 32? Anyway, two years ago. I ran 221 on that exact same course today 212, okay, so I cut nine am I doing the math right nine minutes off my previous pikes peak ascent time I'm very excited about that and thank you by the way for everyone. It's cheering on Strava But also everyone up on the mountain. I heard a lot of seek beauty work hard and love each other up on the mountain It was amazing So keyword butter because we've buttered some bread today. It was a good day and question of the day actually Pick your top three for the men and the women in the pike speak marathon And if you want to give Prediction times for the winners men and women that would be amazing as well.

All right a couple old vlogs for you on the right and the left from the pikes peak training in this training block And I just love you guys. Ah, what a great day and I again I'll break down the race for you in a couple days. See beauty work hard and love each other. See you tomorrow


This video is just a quick review of trigonometry in which you learned about sine, cosine, and tangent in yesterday's videos. So let's just do a really quick review here and remember that we can use Soka Toa to help us remember sine, cosine, and tangent. So I'm just going to write it up here. Sine, and so I use s, is equal to opposite over hypotenuse. So that's so Ca, cosine, is equal to adjacent over hypotenuse, and Toa, tan, is equal to opposite over adjacent. So that's what I'm going to use to help me figure out problems 1 through 6. You'll notice that the directions ask us to write the trigonometric function for the given angle that would use the given ratio. So basically we're working backwards here, and we are given the ratio, and we're given which angle we need to figure out if it's sine, cosine, or tangent. So let's take a look at number 1. We should be looking at angle x, and we have b, which is the adjacent side, and c, which is the hypotenuse. Remember the hypotenuse is always opposite the 90 degree angle. So which of our three trig functions would be adjacent over hypotenuse? And so I can look up here, and I see adjacent over hypotenuse. So therefore this would be cosine. Whoops. Okay. Now we're going to do the same thing. I'm just gonna erase, I guess it's not gonna let me erase that, never mind. I'll change colors then. And in this next one, we are still looking at angle x, so we're still here. This time we want a over c. So if I look at my picture, a is opposite, and c is still the hypotenuse. So if I look up at my three trig functions, so katoa, opposite over hypotenuse is sine. So therefore this one is the sine of x is equal to a over c. And the last one we have, again still looking at angle x, right here. And this time it's equal to a over b. So a is opposite, b is adjacent, and so the one that we have left obviously opposite over adjacent right here is tangent. So this would be tan. Now we're going to do the same thing, but you'll notice that we have changed the angle that we're looking at. So now in four, five, and six, the angle that we're dealing with is y. So that just means that you're going to change where you're looking. So now we're looking at angle y, which is this angle right here, and the first one, number four, is b over a. So b is opposite, and a is adjacent. So opposite over adjacent would be tangent. The next one is a over c. So if I'm again looking at angle y, a is adjacent, and c is the hypotenuse. So adjacent over hypotenuse is cosine. And then b over c, again, we're still looking at angle y. So b is opposite, and c is hypotenuse, which leaves us with sine. Now we are going to, in the videos today, we're going to talk about inverses of sine, cosine, and tangent. So keep these review questions in mind as you watch the rest of the videos.


I wanted to introduce myself in a more in-depth way and say that like all the success that I've had which is minimal honestly but it's all been pretty much stuff I wasn't paying attention to while I was doing it and so like because I have been asked to speak at conferences I've had to like go in and examine my choices and this is me trying to sort through that and explain why I made the choices I made which I think have served me really well and it has three brackets of things. So the first thing that I wanted to talk about with connecting with people via internet is knowing the lay of the land. You have to know whenever a social media site comes up and whatever your business is or for me it's just my name you have to claim it immediately even if you don't plan on using that website take it now the second it's available to you because that is just like the first step to making your life easier. I think it's important to note that each site has its own language and they're like the easy ones like on Tumblr you blog stuff and on Twitter you just out reply people but there are more intricate languages within each of these things like Tumblr is not okay with you talking about Facebook don't do it you will upset everyone and then if you're not like complying with the rules of the website then you might as well not be on there because you want positive reactions not get out of here you don't belong. So I think that also speaks to the different types of people that exist on each site like Tumblr is a really specific type of person and I get along with those people really well but also YouTube has a specific type of person and Twitter and you kind of have to play to each group of people it's your job to speak to them on their turf the way they want so the pictures I have below are the same post on three websites it's about how I accidentally dyed my hair purple trying to make it less of an orangey blonde and on Tumblr I got like you know 20 something I don't really know what the number is and on Twitter I got like a few responses and then on Facebook I got 180 comments usually I'm pretty happy with like 20 comments like that's a lot that's a successful post but for some reason Facebook was just all about my purple hair and it's all about learning what makes each group happy because now I know the next time I shave my head go straight to Facebook I think it's really important to have a voice on all of these websites for me I make sure that anytime it's supposed to be my voice it is I've had like an assistant before or I was like yeah just like promote that show and then I look at it and I'm like that is atrocious why would you say it that way having a voice and and being like a clear person with a personality that doesn't change or you know you can change a little bit but don't like sound like a robot be a human and I think I wish my little pictures were better but those are screenshots of Taco Bell which is a corporation but they have one person running their Twitter and that person is brilliant they're killing it on social media a year ago the conversation about Taco Bell was about the quality of their meat and right now it's about how hilarious they are and how they're interacting with people they have relationships with other social media heavy hitters a friend of mine named Tyler Oakley they have him host parties they have him do videos and he spreads the word the gospel of Taco Bell and no one minds he's promoting a major company and everyone thinks it's really cute and fun and silly and he like goes there at 2 a.m. and he's like wow tacos and everyone's like yeah tacos I love Taco Bell Taco Bell is just a fast food restaurant McDonald's could have done this Burger King could have done this but they didn't they're not smart enough to give themselves a personality a voice I being a musician and you know I I don't have like political views that I display everywhere and I don't like my voice is just kind of silly and then also please buy my music that's my voice but I found a place on tumblr for my feminist voice and I talked on tumblr and only tumblr I didn't put this anywhere else about an interaction I had had on Facebook someone that was very upset about the way I dressed and that I had shown cleavage in a picture and that my music is wholesome and my image is wholesome and that I had taken that away by showing the tops of my boobs and I was infuriated I wrote back to him I wrote it a blog entry about body shaming and body policing and how it's not okay and it is not the responsibility of women to dumb themselves down or cover themselves up for the sake of men because men are people too and have self-control and respect I posted this on tumblr it got more posts than any sort of music promotion I've put up on tumblr more reblogs more likes and people have come to me and told me they found me through that feminist blog chain through other feminist people that they follow and had no idea that I was a musician except for this rude dude talking about how my wholesome music was being ruined by my chest and a quote I made in my message back to him which was I have boobs and morals and the two have nothing to do with each other it became like a rah rah sys boombah for feminism on tumblr and so I gained fans through like a totally unintentional but self-expressive way my next pillar of social media is reaching out once you're on these sites and once you've got something to say and you found your voice you have to interact you have to find other people and involve yourself in that community and it can be with your fans and I make a really concerted effort to respond to people on Twitter and Facebook and I do a lot of it but there's also other people that are on your level like if you're a business you can reach out to other businesses I reached out to Rivers Cuomo from Weezer because I knew that we were playing the same festival and I actually called out to my Twitter followers to have them ask him to play with me and he responded yes and then that kind of led to one of the most embarrassing moments of my life which I then published on YouTube and that's the crowd for Weezer another fun anecdote from that show is when I got on stage to soundcheck which was obviously useless the crowd started chanting someone in the front row was like what's your name and I was like Julia and the crowd started going Julia Julia and I was like I have never felt more cool and then that kind of died after a little bit and they started chanting ice cream ice cream like so much more intensely than my name people are fickle that's a lesson so okay I'm gonna go to my cards now yeah I would say that all of this social media stuff and being really involved is the lowest bar it's the least you can do for me interacting with people on the internet spending a few hours on social media every day is the absolute least effort I can put in for the people that support my career they have no reason to just like Emily said if you build it they will come no just good music doesn't get found I don't have the right to a musical career just because I make music that I think is good there are talented people all over the world that make music and put their heart and soul into it and have never gotten paid a single penny for it I I used to not take music seriously for that reason I just felt like how could I possibly ask people for money when I make music for my own selfish reasons and it took a long time to reconcile that undeserving feeling so my first like real leap into taking music seriously where I realized I needed money for it was to make a studio album and I had heard about Kickstarter and I was like well I can just approach it the same way as I have with everything else just be really honest and transparent and so my Kickstarter campaign which I launched two years ago raised seventy seven thousand eight hundred and eighty eight dollars in thirty days my original goal was fifteen thousand and I think that that is because I was so honest and concise that is a huge like I could give a whole speech about being concise just be short even when there's no one hundred and forty character restriction on what you have to say just a twenty minute presentation is all you need you know I think that my campaign was successful because of all of the work that I put in with people before I launched it and then the way that I approached it it was called Julia Noons would be nothing without me and I truly feel that way I think of my fans as this unbelievable support system that I try to be deserving of every day and then I just made a really awesome album flash forward to present day I've just joined a website called patreon created by another YouTube musician named Jack Conti and he basically solved his own problem and inadvertently solved the problem for the rest of us who make a steady stream of content but had no real way of knowing how that was going to affect our monetary situations like if I put out a YouTube video and it gets millions of hits I know that I've done something good but I don't know necessarily if someone bought my album because of that one video or just how effective it was patreon makes it so when I put out a video right now as of yesterday there are 156 people collectively giving me $1200 you can use patreon for exclusive content but just like I try to give my fans everything they want I keep my stuff free and you only pay me on patreon if you feel like it and I think that type of goodwill is is like blatantly effective but I people get scared about like not requiring people to pay but when you have as close of a relationship as I do with my fans I think you can earn that trust with them without having to require money I wanted to close my talk I went so fast I want to close my talk by bringing all of this offline for me making personal connections is so much more meaningful and as a business it's so much more meaningful than any sort of social media and for a business I think that's going to like real-life meetings and coming to conferences and networking at these like party type deals for a musician it's simple it's just touring I actually just played a conference in California a few weeks ago and when I checked back from the previous year's conference to this year's conference I had played 125 shows so I really like playing live music and that's because of that connection that you get with the audience and I have found a new level of intimacy when it comes to playing shows in living room tours we have a host that volunteers to let 50 strangers into their home we sell tickets online and if you buy the ticket that's when you get the address so the night of the show only people that bought tickets only people that are supposed to be there show up and I play totally unplugged we do a question-and-answer session in the middle of the show and I stay after to take pictures we had a Polaroid camera for our last tour I signed merch give hugs and the relationships that I form with those people are for life I mean forget 35,000 Twitter followers I have 50 people in Boone North Carolina that cried with me about a song I wrote when I was 16 none of us are ever going to forget that night and whenever I come anywhere close to Boone North Carolina I'm going to see all of them again and I think that that connection is something that is so important to me that is hard to apply to business but you have to you have to think of customers as people because they have just as many thoughts and feelings as your best friend and I treat all of my fans like their friends I treat them with love and respect I have a short example video of what a living room show is like I assume you're talking about the ones with like the whole bunch of different layers take me like days of like editing and filming and putting out the same outfit I don't know why like I'm friends with the band Pomplamoose and they were always in different outfits in all of the different shots and like I don't know why that seemed like such like no I can't do that I can't put on clean clothes today one two do a flush sorry I'm being your mom right now there's no mics there's no amps or anything you feel like they're playing directly to you you totally just enclosed with the sound of the music and just like it was like chills and everything it's pretty crazy there's a lot more intimate and you could tell and feel your passion and it was really nice so I'm gonna end by quoting a mutual friend of mine and Emily's Stephen beer he once said that I have a love affair with my fans and I think that's really true I just try every day to be worth all of their love and support the way you would with like someone you're dating and I hope that you walk away with a new respect and love for anyone that supports your business be it a customer or a business partner or an investor I think it's so important to remember that they are people and that you need to also be a person and not like a promotion robot so promoting myself contact me after the show here all my stuff


Project Number – SPC-173 Standardized Pugnatorial Coaching SPC-173 is to remain poolside at Oceanic Resort Area Ali indefinitely. Personnel vacationing at Oare Ali are required to spend at least 60 minutes with invisible range of SPC-173 per 24-hour period of their stay at the retreat for therapeutic reasons. No fewer than three personnel are to remain within SPC-173's effective radius at any given time in order to restrain and or provide medical assistance to their colleagues should they come under assault. Project Components – SPC-173 is a single component, an animate statue of a shark, codenamed Reefer True, constructed from seashells and driftwood. Reefer True is typically inert, and generally is of no danger to personnel in its immediate vicinity. Reefer True enters an active state, however, when any person visually observing it clenches either one or both of their fists, henceforth victim. When this occurs, Reefer True will become animate and approach the victim. It will then break a single digit on the offending hand or hands and return to its original position. This will always occur over the span of a single second, regardless of distance to its current victim or victims. Reefer True was moved to ORA Ali in 1993 as part of the experimental project IRQEL. It is utilized as a means to assist in conditioning center operatives to develop restraint when confronted with a salation entity. Previously, operatives have been killed in action during center missions, owing to their inability to calmly assess situations and prioritize mission-critical objectives. Operatives in the field would become wholly preoccupied with the engagement and pummeling of salation threats. The reddish-brown substance in the resort pool is a combination of A1 steak sauce and Hawaiian punch. The origin of these materials is unknown, but they have been reported to be delicious.
