Happy freaking Monday you guys start of a new week to be honest yesterday wasn't feeling so good And I wasn't gonna work out this morning just because like when I get my period my hormones Go crazy and it makes me feel not like myself But I knew that if I didn't push myself to book this workout class today and to actually like show up for myself Wake up early. I knew it would like make me feel even worse about myself And it would just like go in a downward spiral from there So I'm just like so proud of myself that I showed up for myself today, especially when it you know It gets hard and I made it. I woke up at five I'm here about to do my workout class and yeah, I'm excited for this new week So I actually have an energy drink with me today. This is the Kim aid Alani. They actually don't sell these in Canada, but Madison's boyfriend Connor got it for me and Joel so cheers I'm not gonna have it on there's kind of a few steps because it's just so much caffeine in it, but cheers That's literally crack cocaine in a can like that's that's like too dangerous to have every day This is so good. There's no way I can have 200 milligrams of caffeine right now. Mmm. This is so good It's probably better. They don't sell this in Canada. Okay, cheers. Let's go into our workout And my booty is Quivering like it was quivering and like it's still quivering and I just I really felt the burn today and it was so good But today is hair wash day. My hair is so disgusting right now like it's actually gross So I'm gonna give her a nice wash I ended up having like only less even less than like a quarter of that energy drink and it had like an effect on me Because I'm so sensitive to caffeine and at those drinks I'm pretty sure they have like 200 milligrams of caffeine in them And so like I do not want to get addicted especially at this time in the morning But I wanted to try and drink it because like I've never had one of those Alani Kim drinks before But anyways, I do not recommend if you don't want to get addicted to caffeine because those are just too good And I could easily have down to that can in like 10 minutes because the taste is so good But boundaries of caffeine. Yeah, anyways, I'm literally sweating. Ew. This is actually disgusting But the classes are infrared like heated workouts at oxygen. So that's why it's wet so much But anyways, okay, let's hop in the shower and get clean. It's so nice taking a shower after my workout I'm getting the jerk avenue like robe But I don't know if it's worth it. I heard like mixed reviews on it So if you guys have it, let me know if you like it and if it's worth it because I'm debating it. Hey guys, so me and Joel are about to go grocery shopping He finished work a little bit early today So I was like you're gonna come grocery shopping with me because grocery shopping is just such a more pleasurable Experience when you can do it with somebody. I don't know. I think it's fun It's fun to do alone, but it's also like even more fun to do it with somebody So we just have a few groceries to get just like our weekly list for dinners and stuff And I don't like buying like produce and stuff in bulk So I like getting that like weekly like salad spinach stuff like that thinking of having chicken Caesar salad For dinner tonight because Joel bought some chicken breasts last week And I don't really like just eating chicken breast plain.  Andrew will really also low key want to get Kittens like we want to get two cats. Not sure when that's gonna happen But all because they're honestly too high maintenance for us right now. So I feel like cats is just like the perfect medium Yeah, so stay tuned for that might not be till the new year, but we're definitely looking at getting kittens like adopting them Oh, I don't know when it's gonna happen But when the time is perfect things will come and it'll happen but saying it might happen soon But anyways, okay, let's go I Picked up or we picked up this peach paradise We have never tried the peach flavor before Joel already tried it. He said it's really good And it smells so good synergy by the way ultimate favorite kombucha brand like you just can't eat it That is so good. Mmm And everything in here the ingredients are really clean.   I love pairing this with Mary's crackers just as a snack It's so good. So I would definitely recommend this brand all of their flavors are really good And then I also picked up this hummus and the ingredients are really good There's no bad oils. It's made with olive oil and then I just got some yams I love making fries or breakfast potatoes with these I got some sourdough for Joel And then got some avocados got some hibiscus tea and some everyday detox tea This is our favorite brand of tea by the way traditional medicinals I don't know if I showed you guys these but these are so good It's a vegan popcorn and they're made with olive oil and avocado oil coconut oil So there's no bad canola oil in them and I've only ever tried the not nacho cheese But they're so good and they're dairy-free and I got the orange one to try this one I would 10 out of 10 recommend if you come across them And then I just got some romaine lettuce for tonight's salad and then just some potatoes So that is the little haul. I'm just gonna clean out the fridge now and put everything away So I'm just wrapping up work for today and I'm gonna start making the Caesar salad Honestly today I'm stressing about something and I'm kind of letting it like consume me and ruin my vibe and This is just kind of showing me how it's so easy to let like the little things in our life Consume us and stress us out so much the point where it ruins our happiness and it ruins our vibe But in situations like this like whenever I catch myself stressing or being annoyed at something or whatever the case is I just zoom myself out and what I mean by zoom myself out is I picture myself sitting here on my Dining room table and then I picture me like bird's-eye view Zooming out all the way in into space earth and then it zooms out even more and then you see all the other planets and Then you realize wow. I'm just a little brain of sand Not even in this whole entire universe like these things that we stress about are so Irrelevant the only things that really matter at the end of the day is that you are happy you're healthy I tend to do this a lot and I try not to but it's just we're all human Like we're all going to make mistakes and do things But sometimes I just tend to get so consumed by the little things that don't even matter in life I let it ruin my mood and stress about it But it's like no when you really think of things like that and you zoom yourself out Nothing really matters because we are on a floating rock in the middle of space Seriously, if you put that into perspective over what you're worrying about it's gonna be almost totally irrelevant and It's crazy because we all do this like in our day-to-day life We worry about so many little things But that's just a trick that I've learned and that I've been doing and it helps so much to really just put Things into perspective and so that you can just see that your little worries little silly problems of the day They're not that relevant They're not that important and you just have to keep focusing on what makes you happy and realize that in a few weeks in a year In five years like the things that you were worrying about today are gonna be totally irrelevant And you're gonna be just fine. Anyways, I just thought I'd give you that little reminder because sometimes I need that reminder and I just love looking at it that way because it always helps me so much But anyways, I'm gonna go start on the chicken Caesar salad for dinner now So here is the final Caesar salads I literally just cut up the lettuce but the chicken and then the Caesar dressing and that's about it It looks so good, and I've just been craving chicken Caesar salad for some reason and it was so easy to put together Healthy, but yeah, we're just gonna eat now. It looks so bomb Oh I'm gonna show you guys my all-time I think this is like my favorite breakfast ever super easy to make and I love when I have Ingredients for it. So this is a yam. I'm just gonna take probably about half of this I'm just gonna peel it now Okay, now all that I'm gonna do is cut this in half and then just kind of cube The yam as much as I can it's kind of hard because it's like an awkward shape sometimes just as much as you can Okay, so this is kind of like the size I like to make them kind of medium to small now I'm just gonna throw these in a bowl, and then we're gonna season them I'm just gonna start by putting a little bit of olive oil And then I'm just gonna add a little bit of salt. I'm just really just eyeballing everything So I'm gonna go in with my garlic powder and Then my paprika this kind of makes it a little bit spicy which I love but it gives it such a good flavor as well So make sure to add this in but don't go overboard or else. They're gonna be too spicy And then I'm just gonna pop the lid on So now I have my air fryer basket and I'm just gonna transfer the potatoes into there I'm gonna put them in at 350 for 15 minutes And then I'm gonna take them out shake them up and put them in for another 15 minutes But you really just have to check on them depending on the size of your cubes and everything and how much you're making So here's how the breakfast turned out I just paired it with two poached eggs and then an avocado and then I made this little sauce It's maple syrup and hot sauce mixed together, but it goes so good with this But you can put any like dressing on it or whatever you want to put did like soft poached eggs So the yolks are gonna be runny and it's just so good and healthy and it's amazing. I'm gonna eat right now Hey guys, so this morning was such a nice just like calm morning and I let some candles I did some work and I basically been working all day, but just on my computer So that's why I didn't really feel much, but it's already around like 2 30 now today It's honestly just like a really gloomy day and also the days are starting to get so much shorter Like the Sun is rising later The Sun is setting earlier and it's getting dark around 6 now Which is just like such a weird concept and this happens every year But every time that it happens for some reason it just like really hard for me to adjust to and the days just feel Super often like gloomy and weird But what I've been trying to do instead of you know talking negatively about the brain about how it's gloomy about how the days are shorter I'm just trying to see it more from a positive perspective Because I know that around this time like a lot of people can suffer with like seasonal depression And I don't want to say I've ever had seasonal depression because I haven't but it definitely like affects my mood Like it could still affect your mood without having like actual seasonal depression and definitely like makes me a lot less Motivated than I would originally be for example today. I was working in my pajamas all day I haven't even changed but I kind of looked at this from like a positive perspective where I was like, oh, it's so rainy today I don't really feel like getting dressed. So instead what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna stay in my pajamas And I'm gonna make myself a hot coffee and I'm gonna make my desk set up all nice Light some candles while I work and also put like a jazz on beyond the music in the backgrounds Well, I was working and it just honestly set the vibe So even though it was raining and gloomy and a little like it's dark outside today a little bit I tried to kind of change my mindset about it rather than the weather making me a little bit like down inside I kind of switched my perspective on it and I was like, you know what? This is a good thing I get it to have a cozy work day and even though I didn't feel like getting out of my pajamas I'm like, you know what? It's fun. Like I can work in my pajamas I feel like around the summer year if you struggle with that too like kind of the weather just like bringing your Mood down a bit and making you feel less motivated Try to just rewire your brain and try as hard as you can to just like romanticize a little thing So let's say it's raining outside, but you have to go drag to work Maybe leave 10 minutes early and go pick up like a nice hot coffee at Starbucks I feel like it's important Especially around this time of year to put in the effort to not let yourself like fall into that downward spiral You know the days being shorter weather being bad and also we do have Christmas to look forward to which is actually crazy That it's almost Christmas again like it's gonna be here before we know it I love the holiday season. I feel like it's really what gets me through November and December I try to like extend Christmas into November and December So it's not just like a one-month thing for me And that also helps like romanticize life and just things in general about the winter But yeah, so today I worked in my pajamas and I'm gonna continue to stay in my pajamas But that is okay because that's something that I wanted to do and I kind of made it like a cozy work day Like lighting candles and everything and I'm also gonna make a cute nice little soup for dinner tonight To further romanticize the coziness of everything because it just feels like a soup day Like thinking of things that I'm grateful for like the sound of the rain You know, it is kind of soothing and calming and even though it doesn't necessarily make you want to jump out of bed and go Be productive and motivated. You can look at the positive sides of things. Yeah, so I just thought I would chat with you guys about that I have laundry to do so I decided to pause working for a bit and Just do some laundry and just tidy up a bit because I know that'll make me feel really good So that's what I'm gonna do right now. Let's get some laundry in Also, you guys I got these new pajamas that a brand sent to me. I will have them linked down below They also sent me a few other pairs, which I'll show you guys right now But look at how cute they're I'm obsessed and they make me just feel so cute. They're so comfortable I swear having a cute matching pajama set really just does the most for me Like it just puts me in such a good mood because I feel so cute Um, but yeah, let me show you guys a mini haul. So here's the other one of the other sets that they sent me I'm obsessed. This is like a blue floral and this is a pink floral I just can't like how cute is this and the material is so nice and like light to sleep in but super cozy and Like really soft and then this is the other set that they sent me It's so adorable like these little cute roses. Are you kidding me with matching shorts? And the little cute slit here is wearing cute pajamas honestly puts me in the best mood So I'll have these linked down below, but yeah, this needs a bit of tidying. My laundry is overloaded So we're just gonna tackle this right now. Also my vanity is a mess So let's do some cleaning It's happy wednesday. It's crazy. Oh, it's already wednesday. Like what the heck this week is going by so fast I got my kim lani. This is the one from monday because I refuse to drink the whole thing at once I know it would probably make me have such a good workout, but like I just can't do that The taste is just too good. Anyways, I'm gonna go into my workout But I was having such a good sleep last night. I woke up so disheveled. I was like, where am I? I kind of hate that because it's like then you wake up so groggy But that also means you had a good sleep So it's like, you know, I had to snooze my alarm today for an extra three minutes just because I needed like the time I got my super pop-up today as well. But because it's freezing. Anyway, it's okay. Let's go work out Cheers to productive week Good morning, not good morning. Good afternoon you guys. It's currently one o'clock And me and Joel are just doing some errands today We're gonna go stop by his parents house to drop something off and then we are going To pick up some flowers right now for his mom and then we're gonna go drop them off And then my car fog really random but like my car fog battery is pretty much like dead So we're gonna get a battery to replace it and just do a couple errands that we need to do I was just like on my computer working on morning. So just boring stuff But today's a chill day. Mostly gonna be doing like computer work and just going out for a little break now to do some errands But yeah, it's a really nice Sunny fall day today. It's kind of like chilly, but the sun is out. So it's really beautiful outside This is like the perfect fall day But anyways, let's go in to get some flowers Hey guys, so I kind of got myself a little bit ready for bed I put on my pajamas and I'm craving a sweet treat and I want to make a gluten-free peanut butter Cookies and I found this recipe on my phone and it looks pretty good. It looks promising So let's try that together. I've just been like needing to eat dessert every night I don't know.  Even if it's like fruit, it'll satisfy me. I just have the biggest sweet tooth But we're gonna try out to make these peanut butter cookies I've been obsessed with making the gluten-free brownies that I showed you guys a while ago Like a few like a month or two ago I've been making those like on repeat because they're just too good But I just kind of want to switch it up a bit and try to make some gluten-free cookies with my almond flour So let's bake them together. I will let you guys know if they're good But they're pretty simple ingredients like to sweeten it. It's sweetened with maple syrup Which is really good and just almond flour don't they don't even have eggs so they're vegan, but Let's make them. All right. We are starting off strong here with half a cup of peanut butter I get this peanut butter from Costco and it is natural. The only ingredients are dry roasted peanuts And that's it So if you want to make these a little bit healthier, maybe try using like a natural peanut butter Because in like those sweetened peanut butters, there's so many fillers It's just kind of very unnecessary because peanut butter just by itself like without any sugar added It tastes really good. So I don't know why is a society. We just decided to make it super unhealthy But I used to bake the craft peanut butter cookies like years ago with the unhealthy peanut butter and not gonna lie Those were like the best cookies ever But you know what we gotta we're stepping into our healthy era So okay, so now I'm just gonna put the peanut butter in the bowl Okay, so now it calls for four tablespoons of maple syrup. I always like to go a little bit Overboard on the maple syrup and then you're supposed to add vanilla But I just don't have any so and now I'm just gonna take a spatula and then mix it all together So now I'm gonna take the almond flour and It calls for one with all the dry ingredients Now I'm gonna go in with half a teaspoon of baking powder Oh, it says baking soda. Oops, but we don't have that. I only have baking powder So we're just gonna use that instead. Hopefully it does the same thing. I'm not really sure honestly like what the difference is And then a quarter teaspoon of salt Now I'm just gonna take a fork and kind of whisk it together Okay, so now it just has to add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients So I'm just gonna slowly mix the almond flour mixture in Okay, here's how the dough turned out. There's honestly not much But what I think I'm gonna do is divide the dough in half and then do half of the cookies without chocolate chips And then the other half with chocolate chips because usually I don't make peanut butter cookies with them But I decided why not try it so I'll do half and half and then I'll let you guys know which ones I like better. Okay, I barely made any cookies. What the heck? But I did a half chocolate chip half regular and then I just patted them down with a fork And now I'm gonna pop them in the oven says for 10 minutes So I'm gonna do that and then I will let you guys know how they are. So update on the cookies They were so delicious the ones without chocolate chips. So do not add chocolate chips. They're completely just kind of ruin them I mean, we'll still eat them. They're good, but they're not nearly as good as just a plain, you know, authentic peanut butter cookies I also added an extra tablespoon Almost two tablespoons extra maple syrup. I feel like it wouldn't have been sweet enough without that So make sure to add extra And yeah, just bake them for 10 minutes on the dot take them out. Let them cool for 10 minutes Then they're perfect But I will have the recipe linked down below just make sure to make that modification But anyways, I'm gonna continue watching love island because I'm obsessed. Hey guys So I'm just about to go to bed But you guys know I go to oxygen yoga and fitness so often like every time I work out That's been my workouts lately and I love them so much and they actually sent me a little package They have really cute like branded stuff. This is their hoodie. It's just black really good quality And then they also sent me the matching shorts like how cute and they also sent me these black leggings with the matching Black sports bra. Thank you so much. I'm so excited And they also sent me a water bottle that I've been using it's downstairs So you guys will see it eventually but I love it But anyways, I'm just gonna like brush my teeth now and really get ready for bed Those cookies were so good. So I'd turn it to recommend. But anyways good night you guys. I will see you tomorrow Oh Good morning you guys. Happy Friday You guys are gonna think that this is completely ridiculous But I am finishing off the kim made this morning and it's still carbonated don't know how but it still tastes good and fresh so it's not icky i promise but i'm at my workout class at oxygen yoga and fitness as usual and this is your sign to get through your friday i literally was this close to not going like i didn't want to come today because it's friday and i'm lazy and it's like you kind of feel defeated by the week sometimes but this is your sign to burst of year on friday because i feel like it's just one of the most important days to have discipline because it's like the day where you're gonna have the least motivation try to pump yourself up on fridays i was listening to the new drake song with sexy red and scissor it was pumping me up so you just got to do something to kind of motivate yourself but yeah i'm feeling pumped up and gonna go smash this workout and i'm gonna feel so good about it i've just really been in my healthy era lately and it just felt so good and i don't know if i updated you guys but i've been doing the gluten dairy free oat free diet for about three to four three and a half months now and my skin has never been better like my zema completely cleared so it really has been helping me and i just feel like i'm in my health era and i'm so happy about it i've been working out consistently and it feels really really good so anyways yeah let's go work out and get this friday accomplished working on a weekend like usual way off in the deep end like usual niggas swear they passed us they doing too much having done my taxes i'm too turned up Virgil got a paddock on my wrist on us niggas call me slipping once i pay so what someone hit the block up i tell you if it was us man a house in rosewood this shit too plush say my days a number but i keep waking up till you see my text baby please say something why a lot of glass man a cheapskate huh niggas gotta move on my release day huh bitch this is plain not clout i don't even know what that hey guys so i have been working all day but i'm just about to head out the house i put like a cute little bow in my hair and got ready because i'm going to my parents house for my sister's birthday and i had to film like a video today that's why i didn't vlog much or anything honestly you guys this week i have been just like super not i don't really look super stressed but i never really talk about the behind the scenes of doing this job i've just been like to rest around a couple things i feel like in this industry there could be so many people that just take advantage of you because they see that i'm like a 23 year old girl who's just making silly little youtube videos but it's like yes and this is my passion but now it's also my business and my source of income so it's like i have to just stand up for myself in this industry and i just feel like sometimes it's not taken well when you stand up for yourself and like i would never be the one to be good or anything but it's like within boundaries like you have to step up for yourself or else you're gonna get walked all over i'm honestly just like learning a lot too like i never went to business school um or any of that so it's like doing this doing youtube and working with people on the back end of things i actually have been learning a lot and learning how to deal with certain situations learning how to deal with people learning how to deal with brands there's just like a lot that goes into it that is not shown behind the scenes because if it's not like really i don't think what people want to see sometimes it does get a little bit like overwhelming stressful because people sometimes just don't take you seriously and it's really annoying so it's just like i don't know this industry is crazy and like i don't really have many friends in the industry that i talk to like i don't have anybody where i can really go to advise for with this kind of stuff so i'm just having to figure it out all by myself which is kind of difficult it's a learning curve it's a learning process and i wouldn't trade it for the world because you guys know that guy that's my youtube channel is my baby and i love it but there's definitely a lot that goes on on the back end and it's like just like frustrating sometimes because i just feel like i don't get taken seriously but yeah that's the ETA for today we're gonna be leaving the house now and i just wanted to end off this vlog i hope you guys got some monday motivation from this video i hope you guys have an amazing week ahead and you're enjoying your week make sure to do things that make you happy because i know the weather is getting gloomier and stuff so make sure to do things that make you happy and you know surround yourself with motivation whether that be youtube videos podcasts whatever it is make sure you're always surrounding yourself with motivation and have a goal in mind because that's what motivates me the most personally like if i don't have a goal and like what am i doing this for you know what am i waking up at 5 a.m. for you have to have a purpose behind everything because if you don't then you're not actually gonna do anything you're not gonna have that discipline you're not gonna have that motivation because it's like okay what am i working for so having that goal and having something that you want to achieve is going to help me be motivated in your day today and yeah thank you guys so much for watching this video please let me know any videos you guys want to see down below um i know i got requested to do a q and a so you guys want to like learn more about me which i will definitely include in like an upcoming video i don't know how i'm

heart thank you so much for watching and i'm so grateful for each and every one of you and yeah i'll see you guys in my next video


Good morning Hickets Tuesdays, so you know how companies sometimes have, like, celebrity mailing lists where they send their new products to a list of influencers? Somehow, since 2008, I have been on the celebrity mailing list for Bananagrams? This is actually my 11th edition of Bananagrams. Anyway, it's November, which means that soon we will have to buy presents for those we love and also those we don't love, but do feel obligated to get gifts for and I am your one-stop shopping guide. Like, if you're looking for a fun word game, I genuinely recommend Bananagrams. You don't need 11 copies of it, one will do. You got me Bananagrams, you got me to give you free promo. It took 14 years, but I did it. So I'm a little biased here, but I think the best gift every year is books, especially my books, but also books by other people. Like, for the lover of nonfiction in your life, I am absolutely blown away by Siddhartha Mukherjee's new book, The Song of the Cell. Like, I didn't think I liked biology, but it turns out I love biology and also, get this, I kind of am biology. If you love somebody who loves video games or just great novels, I am so in love with Gabrielle Zeven's book Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. It's one of those books where I've given it to a dozen people and all of them also fell in love with it. If you've got a friend who might enjoy a super steamy, ex-vangelical romance, I really recommend Corrine by Rebecca Moreau. Wow. And if I had to pick a favorite young adult novel I've read this year, it would probably be All My Rage by Saba Tahir. I've recommended her books in the past, but this is her first standalone book and her first contemporary novel, and oh my God, it's beautiful. Also, as evidenced by the fact that I just wrote one, I think essay collections make a great gift. Like, I love Toni Morrison's The Source of Self-Regard and Hilary Mantel's Mantle Pieces. The title is by far the worst thing about the book. The book itself is incredible, especially for the person in your life who loves history or culture. But maybe the vibe this year isn't about physical goods at all. Like, maybe give somebody a one-year Patreon membership to their favorite podcast or YouTube channel. Or give them an online course and something they might be interested in. Like, Sarah just made this course with Bright Trip about art appreciation, and it's so good. I enjoyed it so much that I went and bought some other Bright Trips. Oh, and on that front, give the gift of a walking tour. Like, here in Indianapolis, we have this amazing public historian named Samson Levingston who gives walking tours of Indianapolis neighborhoods, especially historically black neighborhoods, and I just love learning from him. A lot of towns and cities have walking tours, and I just think it's a great way to deepen your understanding of and appreciation for the place where you live. Also, I always think it's fun to try to find gifts that do double good, like making the gift receiver happy, but also making the world better in some way. Like, I'm buying the Kurtz-Gazatt calendars for the Kurtz-Gazatt fans in my life because, one, the calendars are ridiculously impossibly beautiful, and, two, they help Kurtz-Gazatt in their mission to reach more people with great educational video. Or if you know causes that your friends and family are passionate about, you can donate directly to those causes in their honor, as long as they're not, like, weird causes that conflict with your value system. Or for the coffee-loving person in your life, get them a membership to the Awesome Coffee Club so they can have carefully sourced, perfectly roasted coffee beans and know that 100% of the profits go to support better maternal health in Sierra Leone. Plus, we now have single bags available if you don't want a subscription just yet. You can find links to all this stuff in the doobly-doo, but here at the end, I'll let you in on a little secret. A lot of times, the best gifts are the ones that aren't bought at all, but are instead made, whether that's making a crossword puzzle just for someone you care about or making art for people. Like, Sarah made me this portrait of myself in the form of a color palette of my favorite things, and, oh, God, I just love it so much. Hank, spoiler alert, you're getting a donation to Partners in Health for Christmas, I will see you on Friday.


And now, stay tuned for the program that has rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil Program, The Whistler.  I am The Whistler, and I know many things for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadow. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. And now for the Signal Oil Company, The Whistler's strange story. Spell in green. The quiet of the late night was broken only by the rapid click of a woman's heels on the sidewalk of the street that only an hour before had bustled with traffic and passing pedestrians. Nola Norton stopped for a moment, looked up toward the light from a third-floor apartment from it to the bottle she carried under one arm. Then she sighed, resumed her steps and turned up the walk to the apartment building. She opened the front door and then made her way up to Chuck Williams' apartment on the third floor. Chuck! Chuck, it's Nola! Is your coffee ready? Nope, my coffee is never ready. Nola, my dear dear Nola, can it be that you've come calling with a gift? Miss Licker? More of a bribe. I thought if I brought this along as a reward, I might be able to deliver your column on time for one year. My brand too, and the seal isn't broken. I'm sure you can take care of that. It looks like I'm just the man for the job. Can't the drink wait? Chuck, finish the column and then you can have the whole bottle. Never put off till tomorrow what you can drink tonight, Nola. Join me? You know I don't drink. Not usually, but tonight you'll have a drink with me, Nola. Because I'm on strike against deadlines, maybe against the whole world. Come on, Nola, join me. Oh, all right, I don't suppose one drink will hurt me. Not a go. You want me to finish your column, Chuck? I could, and you could finish your drinking, Fairtrade. Nope. I don't want you to write it, Nola, or rewrite it after I finish with it. You're supposed to be my assistant and researcher. My girl Friday is the same girl. And you know, some of my columns haven't been reading quite right to me the next day. Maybe you should know this. Whether I've been drinking or not, I always remember exactly what I've written. If you're referring to that item on Jack Winters, I got a last-minute tip. Pretty spicy bit of intriguing. I read legitimate straight-out stories. I don't like literary blackmail. I don't write it. I don't want you sticking any more stuff like that in it. It's what people like to read, Chuck. And a lot of people who believe that are writing columns for the people who like to read them. All right, Chuck, skip it. Finish the column legitimate straight-out and as dull as you like. Careful, Nola. Your claws are showing. Well, thanks, I get for bringing you a drink. Funny thing, everyone else tries to keep me from drinking, especially Paul. But not you, Nola. You bring me liquor. Then ask only my thanks for it. In return for your having your daily column ready so I can get it in before the deadline. Finish it up, will you, Chuck? Not yet, Nola. I feel like talking. Maybe I'm all written out. Maybe the words will come only vocally now. I'm beginning to jam in my typewriter. Did you and Paul finish your play? Paul says we did. I still think he's got no third act. But he's so sure it's ready to go. He's leaving in a couple of days to take it to New York. Paul's leaving so soon? Yeah.  Don't be silly, Chuck. Sure you do. You catch fire around him. Like those lucky emerald earrings of yours when they catch the light just so. The only time I ever think I see a woman behind that concrete facade you've built her on yourself. I don't like that, Chuck. You know something, Nola? I don't like you. I don't like you at all. My heart bleeds. I got you all figured, baby. It took me a while, but I finally caught on. What are you doing, Chuck? Not there. Hello, Chronicle. Give me Mac and a coffee desk. Not there. Okay, try Aegon Drake and rewrite. And Drake? Chuck Williams. I'm firing Nola Norton effective this minute. What are you doing? Make a note of it, will you? Why? For my own protection, of course. I'll explain to Mac in the morning. Chuck, what on earth do you think? Like I said, I got you all figured. And I don't like you. You're drunk. I'm sober, thinking sober. Come here, Nola. Come out in the balcony with me. I want to show you something. Chuck, you're not making any sense. I never made such good sense. Look at it, Nola. The whole blessed city of the angels stretched out before you. Take it, Nola. It's just lying there waiting for your greedy little ants. Take it. All of it. But leave Paul alone. And leave me in my little column alone, too. Okay, Chuck. I'll take it. And Paul if I want him. And your column alone, too, Chuck! Nola!  You should have known you couldn't stop me. Reduces engine wear 50%. You see it on billboards. Reduces engine wear 50%. You see it on signs, on banners, on window displays at signal service stations. Reduces engine wear 50%. It's today's best news for drivers. Today's biggest news in motor oil. For now with amazing new signal premium motor oil, engine wear due to lubrication is reduced 50%. Just consider the savings this can mean to you. With new signal premium motor oil, your car should run twice as many miles before needing an overhaul due to engine wear. So you save on upkeep. If your car is not already an oil eater, new signal premium should double the period during which you'll continue to enjoy low oil consumption. So you save on oil. And although prices of practically everything have jumped, the miracle oil that gives you all these extra benefits has not been increased in price. So you'll save money, too, while you save your car by switching this week to signal premium, the amazing new motor oil that reduces engine wear due to lubrication 50%. Reduces engine wear 50%. It all seems a long time ago, doesn't it? Chuck Williams' tragic fall from the balcony of his apartment was judged accidental by the authorities. And in the months that follow, you try to forget that terrible moment when you pushed him to his death, the panic that accompanied your escape out the back entrance to the building, and the frozen fear that engulfed you when you reached your own apartment to find that you'd lost one of your lucky emerald earrings. But that's all behind you now, Nola. You're sure you must have lost your earring in your hurried flight to your apartment because it never came up in the investigation following Chuck's death. But that was six months ago. Since then, you had another made to match. And you wear them almost daily as you sit behind Chuck's old desk at the newspaper office, Chuck's old column. But it's your column now, isn't it, Nola?  I'm busy. If I'm bothering you, I'm delighted. But, Paul, Paul Wallet, but you can't be here in New York. That's the advantage of having a split personality. And anyway, I got back from New York about a week ago. A week? And you're just now looking me up? I must be pretty far down on your list. Depends on where you start reading, Nola. Besides, I've been busy. Planning a party. I'd love to. How long do you intend to go on to see me? Uh, someone might come in. Well, no one comes in here without knocking. Got them all terrified, have you? Racked with fear. Now, how about that kiss? This place reminds me too much of Chuck. Oh. Well, I have an apartment. I'm at the Sunset Castle.  Well, always knew you'd get it. One way or another. The castles get lonely sometimes, Paul. Well, I'd like to rescue the lonely princess. How about Wednesday? That's when I'm giving the party. That's also three days away. All right, Wednesday then. But why a party? Why not just the two of us? We're celebrating the flop of our play. Oh, darling, how novel to celebrate a flop. But isn't it rather ghoulish considering? Considering the co-authors dead? Chuck would love it. He always claimed we'd never get out of Boston without a good third act. Is that why I didn't go over? Who knows? Chuck was the brains behind it. But he's dead. Play took a dive. I'm broke. So we'll celebrate. Who's coming? Lots of people, select group, of course. Janet, Kimber? Sure, Janet, who has a better right than the leading lady to toast the flop of a play. Oh, indeed. But we'll need you at our haunted little soiree, Nola. Now I'm flattered that I am. I'm really flattered. But the notice is rather short. I'm booked up for week. Riding high with a pencil for a broomstick. That's the kind of dialogue you and Chuck had in your play. No wonder it died. Still the same sweet, Nola. I've twice the reader's Chuck head. So I've heard. But be careful. Don't let the column jinx you. What's that supposed to mean? Nothing much, I guess.  Maybe the column is bad luck. Chuck was his own bad luck. Or maybe he just tangled with the wrong kind of luck. Well, I don't worry about luck, Paul. You mean your emerald earring? I see you still wear them. I always will. Then you'll wear them Wednesday when I come to your castle and sweep you to my party. Perhaps you didn't hear me, Paul. I told you I was busy. I'm booked for weeks. See you Wednesday, Nola, about eight. Who do you think you are? You can't drop in here after being away so long and tell me when you'll see. Wednesday, Nola.  All right. I've waited six months. I can wait until Wednesday. Yes, Nola. You can wait a few more days, can't you? You'll resent the way Paul takes you for granted. But he's come back from New York in defeat. His play has failed. And that failure may provide the key to your success with Paul. You were willing to kill Chuck to get his column.  And when Wednesday evening comes, you're in your apartment, busily setting down a special pattern of destruction. Yes? Mr. Paul Wallace in the lobby, Miss Norton. Oh, primo. Will you please? The lady with the stiletto. I'm going to safely berate. I'll be right up. Take your time. I still have a paragraph to do. I might interest you. I'm doing a piece on the star of your late limited play. Janet Kimber. I saw her screen test today on purpose. I know she was good. The New York critic said she carried the play on her back. Maybe she should have stayed in New York. Sometimes Klee Glide's aren't kind to a novice. Yeah. Well, I'll have a drink while you finish. One drink, one poison paragraph. I can handle the drink. I can still manage the poison. How'd you like my castle, Paul? I have to admit you've done well, no long. It's all part of a plan, darling. Plans don't always work out to know. Chuck had plans for a Broadway hit. Chuck was just unlucky. And yet he had a talisman, too. His grey sweater. He was wearing it the night he fell off that balcony. Paul? Well, this is where Chuck used to live. I know. Didn't I tell you? I live here now. No, you didn't. Is this where the party is? Yeah. Does it make any difference, Nola? No. No, of course not, Paul. Why should it? But it does make a difference, doesn't it, Nola? You never expected to come near Chuck's old apartment again. And just the sight of the drab grey building chills you with fear. The same gripping fear that sent you running from it six months ago. The street is once again well-traveled and brightly lightened, unlike the last time you were here. You don't dare look up, do you, Nola? You're afraid you might see the balcony. So you fix your gaze straight ahead as you and Paul start up the walk. But the ghosts of past parties and past friends walk the long, dark corridor of your memory. And you shiver. I suppose it's the same old third story apartment. Except for a few renovations that brought Mrs. Geisler's heart and purse. She might have had the building painted. Oh, not Mrs. Geisler. She's only doing the things the building inspector insisted upon. But anyway, it's home. Home? When you could have so much more, Paul. I like the old friends and the old street. Come on. Let's go in and exercise a few ghosts. Whoever you are, welcome. I'm just fixing up... Hey, Gondrake, how could you get away from the rewrite desk? Oh, I can always find a way to take in a party by Paul. I've got us a drink, Nola. Good to see you again, Nola. Your success has made you exclusive. No, just busy. But not as busy as I thought you'd be. I lost a bet. Nobody thought you'd come tonight. Oh, I can't wait to see the old gang. The gang or Paul? Figured in six months, you'd forget him, too. Oh, well, it just explains how little I know women. It also explains why you're still in rewrite. Touché, Nola. At least no one will ever want my job. What's that supposed to mean? Oh, don't be so edgy, my sweet. My usual muddled way I was just trying to rewrite the past. Just between the two of us, Nola, do you really think Chuck's death was an accident? Of course I do. Why? Well, I've been thinking. There was Chuck's play. True, it flopped, but who knew that six months ago? It could have been a success. You forget half the play was always Paul. I'm remembering, but according to Paul, it all belongs to Paul now. I think that... People like you who should never think could be dangerous. And it could be you do anything for Paul. I remember you handled the police six months ago when they questioned you about Paul. Keep your nose in rewrite, Drake. That's where it belongs. I'd better see what Paul's doing. You start toward the balcony, but you suddenly stop, Nola, and turn into the bedroom. Nothing could induce you to go out on that balcony again.  And there's a gone Drake, Nola. He obviously suspects something. Alone in the bedroom, you realize you must be especially clever tonight. You glance in the mirror as you leave the bedroom, and smile as the light catches the brilliance of your lucky emerald earring. There you are, Nola. Yes, Paul. I want you to meet Janet Kimberg. Janet, this is Nola Norton. The two women in my disillute life. I leave you two alone so you can compare notes on me. Oh, I'm thrilled to meet you, Miss Norton. Paul's told me so much about you. Well, I'm surprised he had time to remember me when he was producing a play. He must have been busy. Oh, we all worked like fiends, but we had to take a little time off once in a while to relax. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. And the critics were very kind to you. And now you're launched in a brand new career. Well, just barely launched, I'd say. No, on the contrary. I feel you're destined for smooth sailing. Perhaps that depends a little on you, Miss Norton. Then Paul told you I'm doing tomorrow's column about you. Yes, he did. Perhaps you'd like a people preview. No point in prolonging the suspense. Is there, Miss Kimber? Well, I would like to know, of course. Well, let's let everyone in on it. Everybody! Everybody! Miss Kimber here is dying. You know what I'm saying about her tomorrow's column. I think I remember it word for word. Here it is verbatim. Janet Kimber, Broadway's latest export to Hollywood, shows up charmingly naive, refreshingly beautiful, and a great prospect for future angineux roles. Watch this newcomer climb the stairway to success. The viper has lost its sting. I can't believe it. Where's the old Nola? We all love and hate. Well, I'm speechless, I guess. I just don't know how to thank you, Miss Norton. But if anything I've said pushes you up that ladder, I'm well thanked. You've surprised them, haven't you, Nola? And they're all rushing to congratulate Janet, all except Paul. He's leaning against the far wall, a cynical look on his watchful face. A look you don't like, Nola. Because it seems to tell you he's seen through your plan. He withdraws from the group surrounding Janet, and walks over to it. What's the matter, Paul? Aren't you pleased? There's a fairy godmother. You're old at a lot of character. When Janet Kimber climbs that stairway, she won't be bothered carrying you on her back. Is that part of your plan? Yes, Paul. I meant to tell you later I fixed it at the office, but I didn't get a job. You're old job? Why not? You are going to lose Janet, you know. Nobody realizes what failure can be until they meet success head on. All right, you win. I'll take that job, Miss Norton. I'll be the best legman you ever had. I knew you would, Paul. There's so much we can accomplish together. Sure. Let's drink to the new job, and have a sip of the brew that brought poor Chuck down off his balcony. Here you are. Hey, Scotch, you know I don't drink, Paul. Have you forgotten that in six months, too? No. You don't drink. So you couldn't possibly be the woman who was with Chuck the night he died. Was there a woman with him? They found lipstick on a glass, and they found a bottle, although I'd taken all his money. Chuck might have had a bottle hidden in the apartment. Not after the shakedown I'd given the place. No. Someone had been supplying him with liquor. Why? When I find that out, I'll know how to write the third act of this little drama. Oh, excuse me, Nola. Well, Mrs. Geisler, come right in. I guess everybody knows Mrs. Geisler. Oh, the owner of the building, of course. And she knows everyone here, I'm sure. She always drops in when she hears a party going on, don't you, Mrs. Geisler? What do you have to drink, Mrs. Geisler? Oh, drop a sherry, Paul. When a body reaches my age, I drink called for two tablespoons of soda. Oh, no. Well, well, the old gang is now assembled. Yes, yes indeed, and, Nola, my, you're a pretty sight for old eyes. Why, it seems only yesterday you used to come here for Chuck's coffee. It's hard to believe that the fabulous Nola Norton was Chuck's girl Friday only six months ago. And such a time she had with him, too, when he was in his cup. He used to lock himself in so she couldn't get his coffee. I finally had to give her a key. You had a key, Nola? That's right. You know how troublesome Chuck could be after the third day in the fourth bottle. You know something, Penwoman? Chuck called me up the night he died and said he was firing you. Oh, interesting, Agon. He said he was firing you for his own protection. Now, why would any man want protection from a dish like you? You know, the police asked me exactly that same question. Then what did you tell them? That Chuck never missed firing me every time he had a hangover. The questions the police missed. This is a good time to ask them. It'll be a long time before I go slumming again. Nola, Drake didn't mean anything. Well, either wine is running out, Paul, and so am I. Last week, I misspelled a comma slip through and a snack is on my neck. Thanks for the party. Let's not do it again. I'll trundle along, too, Paul. The building inspectors were by again today and got me all upset. Nothing ever suits them. Why not try a coat of paint? Stop it, Nola. You don't have to go... Oh, that's all right, Paul. Well, is everybody walking out on me? Janet? Sorry, Paul. I have an early studio call. I'll call you tomorrow. Now, I'm tempted to say alone at last, Paul, dear, but it seems to have a hollow sound, doesn't it? Does it? The party was all staged. Good try, Paul. But it didn't work.  Pushed him off the balcony so his column would be all yours. Hey, Gondrake thinks you did it, so his play would be all yours. Mrs. Geisler knows you had a key to the apartment. She knows you did, too, darling. But the man in the liquor store knows who bought Chuck's brand of scotch that night.  He can't do two feet in front of him.   But you did kill Chuck, didn't you? Of course I did. But you'll never prove it with the kind you recognize this. I found Chuck, remember, Nola, and I found this caught in his sweater. Did you have three emerald earrings, Nola? It isn't mine. I have my earrings. I'm wearing them. It may take time to find the jeweler who made the exact duplicate of the one you lost. But I have time and the police have time. I'm not afraid of the police, Paul. You should be, though. You withheld evidence, that earring. And more than that, if you really want to play that way, I'll say you stole one of my earrings shortly before Chuck was killed, and that's why I had a duplicate made. I had a motive for killing Chuck. Forget it, Paul. I'm going now. I'll see you at the office. You know I'm not going to work for you. You'd better. Dan at Kimber's going to bypass you, darling. You'll need something to fill your time. I'll be glad to do that. There's so much you don't know, Nola. Janet and I have been married for three months. I... I don't believe it. You couldn't have married her. But I did. The two of you must have laughed at me. Well, I'm laughing now, Paul. And I'll keep on laughing all the time you're in prison. I'll take that earring. Paul's on the little thunder this time. Nola, give me that earring. Wait, what are you doing?  I'll scream it from the balcony. I'll scream your time to do it right now. Nola, don't go out there. You can't... Oh, can I help you? I'll break the door down if I have to. Nola, stop. Use the sentence where? 50%. And new signal premium motor oil also stops acid corrosion and rust.

The crowd gathered quickly, the stunned and the curious staring at the broken lifeless body on the pavement. Someone hurriedly turned on the garage floodlight and the area suddenly became bright and unreal. From the floors above, white faces looked down on the scene as a man rested a small brilliant object from the dead person's hand. A single emerald earring. Well, I came as soon as I could. What happened? It was Nola. I tried to warn her but she was determined to go out on the balcony. But Paul, the French doors surely you kept them. They were locked. Nola pushed them open and before I could stop her she fell right through this scaffolding where the old balcony used to be. Paul, I thought everyone knew the building inspector condemned that old balcony. Made us tear it down. Start building a new one. It's funny in a way. I guess Nola's the only one who didn't know that balcony is gone, Mrs. Geisler. What are we going to do? There's nothing we can do now, Mrs. Geisler. Except call the police and report another accident. Let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program the whistler each Sunday night at this same time.

Here's a fun fact that's actually terrible. They made a fourth Matrix movie in 2021. It was worse than COVID. Neo's back is a homeless John Wick. Trinity's here as a soccer mom, Karen. And for whatever reason, Lawrence Fishburne and Hugo Weaving are not in this movie. Consider it a blessing for them. I miss my fish. I miss him, but it was good he wasn't here. We do have a Morpheus though. He's the worst. I hate it. I spent 40 minutes on my YouTube channel.  Feel free to subscribe and check that out.


All right, so we've got time for a few questions for our panelists, so please we encourage the audience to step up Yes, thanks very much for this very informative and and very scientifically up-to-date Presentation I wanted to direct my question to Rick Hiddles Because I saw that you had on your list for West Africa Bamalake from the Cameroon and in fact, we've been saying that in fact the Cameroon did not provide slaves to know to men enslaved Africans So we have to see the Bamalake Cameroon as a sort of Stand-in for now for the Angolan population because that's where so I just wanted to find out if That's a good database Has been updated or if this because a lot of people come to tell me well I'm from the Cameroon and I said you can't be have ancestry when there were no slaves at the time between you know 1619 and 1860 The Cameroon was not that feeder for the now some of them could be ebos because we know that Cameroon But you have to take into account that some of those they that ban to population Passed through certain genetic kind of a transformation as they made the way down both the Eastern Bantu and the Western so I just wanted to make sure that more that more now I have to say that okay that we do the The the the research and collect data for Angola, right? No, you're absolutely right I like exactly what you said just now. We have to do the research. So based on what you guys have been saying in terms of the historical research the historical evidence that Cameroon Present-day Cameroon region right did not contribute to any of the enslaved Africans that were traded now that that is still up I mean that that's not a that's not a definitive There are folks who do not believe that and in particular if you look on the coast I just came from Cameroon last December and I went to a fort along the coast of Cameroon and where enslaved Africans were housed where there was the point of no return. So there are you know historical evidence. I mean Well, we know also that let's say they went to the Caribbean that there was an enormous amount of Selling and buying of enslaved Africans in the Caribbean to the Americas too So they may not have directly come here, but they've come they could have come here via the Caribbean, but it doesn't matter Let's say you're right. Okay We see Cameroon as a transitional area anyway because it's we call it the I mean it it's been called the bite of Biafra and You look at the genetics of the Eboe communities and the some of the Cameroon groups like the Bameliki It's very they're very very similar That's that that border is a border that was given to them, you know by by European You know it was it after World War one or two, you know all of those boundaries were set up That that area consisted of families that actually were split after that boundary was set up And then of course the Biafra war they was back and forth the boundary went this way that way But the bottom line is that's a transition area So I see it as a transition of what we see in Nigeria and the transition a good point of Gabon and Angola Okay, so When we do our matches we say where the match is to a present-day country That doesn't mean that that was the present day position where or a state where enslaved Africans came from Where their ancestor came from during slavery? Do you see what I'm saying? We're matching to a present-day population Great. Thanks Rick next next question This question is for dr. Mountain I was wondering if you could share a little information about your roots in the future initiative that was launched in 2011 If you could share a little bit about the successes as well as the challenges that 23 and me his face. Yes, so this is on Okay, so in 2011 23 and me launched a program called roots into the future and The reason for launching that program was because we were conducting research into the links between disease risk and genetics By Inviting our customers to take surveys about their health and Disease status. So what was happening though is it turns out that all of the studies? we were doing were relevant only to people with northern European ancestry because those most of our customers have ancestry tracing primarily to northern Europe and So it was very frustrating for us to see that we were Just like the rest of the research genetics community were was kind of being restricted to you know Just really a subset of the world in terms of our research our genome-wide association studies, so we decided to launch this project to Enroll 10,000 African-Americans into the 23 me service and invite them to take part in research. So That project has been incredibly successful As I think I put the number up we have Well over 10,000 African-Americans have signed up and joined 23 and me and we have begun conducting the research To look at connections between health and genetics within that particular group. It's obviously a very heterogeneous group And we're also exploring You know other aspects of the the customer base through surveys and analysis of the genetic data by Including looking at ancestry as I started to show here so so the project has been very successful very high a survey response rate among the group and so engagement in the project and we've been Looking to start writing up some of the research results And focused on on the disease research. I think thanks Joanna Charles Yeah, I can this is question to all members of the panel and also to the audience, I just wonder morally is it Right for us to be charging African-Americans to trace their ancestry using this kind of information giving using Rick's a word that they were kidnapped and forcefully removed from the environment that they actually has a link to So while we're now charging for them to be able to trace that information back Should there be a phone set aside that any African-American who wants to use this kind of information? Should be able to tap into their phones and to derive this kind of information Yeah, I agree with you Charles. There should be a fund and you should be the first to contribute To me it looks like double job for the in a sense No, no, what you what you raised is a really valid point I mean and it's been part of the discussion since you know, we started doing this and so, you know The issue is should African-Americans who are descendants of enslaved Africans have to pay for what was taken from them Yeah, and you know, this is I mean the price that come way down And in fact the the initiative you were talking about was pro bono, right Joanna that particular Yes, those 10,000 tests were yeah, we're not yes to people who enrolled earlier. That's right. Okay next My question is really for the panel It just seems like such a wonderful opportunity to have representatives here from different organizations that are conducting these ancestry tests And I think one of the challenges we heard from dr. Tishkoff this morning And it continues to be a problem is obviously how to get accurate test results and I wonder To what extent do you think it's a responsibility or desirable aim for your companies to have Similar test results for people and are there steps that you're taking to get consistency among Organizations, and if so, how can you fit this with your commercial objectives You shouldn't expect that you get the same results from different companies I mean the the reference databases are different What the companies can do though is Work together to some extent to come up with a a set of standards that you could expect consistency on But you know certain tests for you know, certain companies have unique tests and that's what makes the the company unique Um, but I do think that there's room for the companies to work together to come up with a set of standards Okay, so we're over time, but uh dr. Blakey just uh 20 seconds Thanks. I have a question of dr. Mountain I was interested in roi and it seems to me that what you found with roi is you mean you weren't able to identify Had you just the dna data of a village or a nation or an ethnicity you essentially got sort of Race had mixture for him But what interests but what i'm really asking is do you have more roi's because at this point it's anecdotal Do you have a sample of 30 roi so we can see when it works and doesn't So there I think uh what we're hearing here a couple of questions about how to Be have more confidence in the results so that customers can have more confidence in the results and so One way is to have 30 roi's who know their You know history and and then we see if we recover that through dna and um But what we the other way is to simulate Individual simulate roi's or simulate and so that we we do sometimes do something like that We also have this approach where we look at the precision and recall where we ask Um, which is a little bit different. Um, we just ask how often if you do have a segment that does Should should be identified as coming from one region. How often does it actually the dna show that? And and we rerun our we keep tweaking our algorithms until that's really high And then we actually allow the customers to choose how their level the level of accuracy that they want to look at and so that's another thing we do in that direction, but um Finding lots of people who know have who will kind of be gold standards who really know the truth So to speak and then we can see if we can recover that That's a challenge and it's something we've been discussing earlier this week If there's someone who would send to each of the companies these kind of gold standard people and samples and say Can you tell tell us what your best estimate and we'll see if you know, which companies get it close to What we send us your samples everybody has good genealogies. Yeah, and um, and we'll have to stop here I want to thank the uh the panelists


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session first we will discuss factors of algebraic expressions. First let's see how we write the factors of natural numbers. Consider the number 20. The factors of 20 can be written as 2 into 2 into 5. These 2 and 5 are the prime numbers. So we say that this is the prime factorization of the number 20. In the same way we can also express the algebraic expressions as the product of their factors. Consider the algebraic expression 8xy plus 2x. Now we have two terms in this expression 8xy and 2x. 8xy can be written as 2 into 2 into 2 into x into y and then this 2x can be written as 2 into x. This is the prime factorization of the term 8xy. Now as you can see that this cannot be factorized further and in 2x also this cannot be factorized further. So 2x and y are the irreducible factors of 8xy and 2nx are irreducible factors of 2x. Now let's define an irreducible factor. It is a factor which cannot be expressed further as a product of factors or we can say this is the irreducible form of the term 8xy and this is the irreducible form of the term 2x. Next we see what is factorization. When we factorize expression we write it as a product of factors and these factors may be numbers, algebraic values or algebraic expressions. If you consider the expression 5xy then you can see that this is already in the factor form and we can make out its factor by just reading them that is 5x and y are its factors. Consider the expression 3x plus 9. We cannot make out what are the factors for this expression so we need some method to factorize expressions of these kinds that is we need some method to find their factors. First we discuss method of common factors. Let's consider the expression 3x plus 9. Now in this method we have three simple steps to factorize a given expression. In the first step what we do is we write each term of the given expression as a product of irreducible factors so the expression that we've given is 3x plus 9. Now it has two terms 3x and 9. Now we write each term as a product of irreducible factors that is we can write 3x as 3 into x then we write 9 as 3 into 3. So we get 3x plus 9 is equal to 3 into x plus 3 into 3. Now let's see what is the next step. In the next step we find out the common factor in both these terms and separate that. Now as you can see that 3 is the common factor in both these terms then in the next step we combine the remaining factors in each term in accordance with the distributive law. So by distributive law we get that 3 into x plus 3 is equal to 3 into x plus 3 into 3. So we write 3x plus 9 as 3 into x plus 3 or we write 3x plus 9 as 3 into x plus 3. So the factors of the given expression 3x plus 9 are 3 and x plus 3 and these are the irreducible factors. So this is how we use the method of common factors to factorize a given expression. The next method that we discuss is factorization by regrouping terms. When all the terms in a given expression do not have a common factor then what we can do is we can group those terms in such a way that all the terms in each group have a common factor. Consider the expression 15xy plus 5y minus 6x minus 2. Now while factorizing this given expression by regrouping terms let's see if they have any common factor. Now considering all these terms you can see that there is no common factor in all these terms. So now we can think of grouping them. Notice that the first two terms have a common factor 5y. So 15xy plus 5y can be written as 5y into 3x plus 1. Now let's consider the other two terms minus 6x minus 2. The common factor in minus 6x minus 2 is minus 2. So we take minus 2 out and inside we are left with 3x plus 1. Now we can put both these together that is we have 15xy plus 5y minus 6x minus 2 equal to 5y into 3x plus 1 minus 2 into 3x plus 1. Now 3x plus 1 is a common factor in both these terms. So we have 3x plus 1 into 5y minus 2. So the given expression 15xy plus 5y minus 6x minus 2 is written as 3x plus 1 into 5y minus 2. So this is how we can factorize a given expression by regrouping its terms. When we are given an expression and we need to factorize that expression first we shall check out if all the terms of that expression have a common factor or not. If they have a common factor then that can be factorized by a common factor method and if they don't have a common factor then we will use the method of regrouping the terms. Now let's discuss factorization using identities. We are familiar with the identity a plus b the whole square is equal to a square plus 2ab plus b square then a minus b the whole square is equal to a square minus 2ab plus b square and also a plus b into a minus b which is equal to a square minus b square. Now we will use these identities to factorize a given expression. Consider the expression 25n square plus 30m plus 9 this can be written as 5m the whole square plus 2 into 5m into 3 since we can write 9 as 3 square so this is of the form a square plus 2ab plus b square where we have a is equal to 5m and b is equal to 3. Now we know that a square plus 2ab plus b square is equal to a plus b the whole square. So now we can say that 25m square plus 30m plus 9 is equal to a plus b the whole square and we put values of a and b in this term so we have 5m plus 3 the whole square. So this is the required factorization. Now we have one more identity that is x plus a into x plus b is equal to x square plus a plus b into x plus a b this identity would be used to factorize the expression with one variable in it and also the expressions which are not perfect squares. In general we say that for factorizing an algebraic expression of the type x square plus bx plus q we find two factors a and b such that in general we say that to factorize an algebraic expression of the type x square plus bx plus q we need to find two factors a and b of q that is of the constant term such that we have ab is equal to q and a plus b is equal to p that is sum of all the factors a and b is p which is the coefficient of x in the given expression and the product of the two factors a and b is q which is the constant term of the given expression. Consider the expression x square plus 8x plus 16 now here we have the constant term that is q is 16 and this is p that is 8 now to factorize this given expression we need to find two factors a and b such that the product is 16 that is q and the sum is p that is 8. Now we can write 16 as 4 into 4 and we can write 8 as 4 plus 4 so we say that a is 4 and b is 4 that is the two factors are 4 and 4 and therefore the given expression x square plus 8x plus 16 is written as x square plus 4x plus 4x plus 16 now you can group these terms and so we get x into x plus 4 plus 4 into x plus 4 now x plus 4 is common to both these terms so we get x plus 4 into x plus 4 or you can say x plus 4 the whole square is the required factorization of the expression x square plus 8x plus 16 this completes the session hope you have understood the factorization of algebraic expressions.


The Cavalcade of America, starring Joseph Cotton. Tonight, direct from the stage of the Mosque Theater in Newark, New Jersey, the DuPont Company brings you Witness by Moonlight, starring Joseph Cotton on The Cavalcade of America. Here is Gaine Whitman. Good evening. This Cavalcade performance comes to you for the first time from Newark, New Jersey. In our studio audience in the Mosque Theater in Newark as special guests, are DuPont men and women from eight DuPont plants in northern New Jersey. You've heard us speak of the products of DuPont research and applied chemical science as better things for better living. The things manufactured in these eight plants deserve their description, including as they do plastics, finishes, photographic films, perfume bases, vitamin D compounds, blasting supplies, ceramic colors, and DDT, among many others. It is the men and women of DuPont as represented by the men and women of this audience who express the true significance of the DuPont Company's better things for better living through chemistry. And now, Witness by Moonlight, starring Joseph Cotton as Abraham Lincoln on The Cavalcade of America. What do you think, Billy? They like this new beard? You have doubts, Mr. Lincoln, about how they'll take you as president of the United States? Remember, there's always a place waiting for you here, with a firm of Lincoln and Hercan. What you're saying in fun, Billy, might turn out to be the truth. If I want that job when I come back, I'd better make a strict accounting of what's going on. Hand me that ledger. Oh, you don't have to go over the fees, Mr. Lincoln. You must have so much on your mind. Billy, Billy, we don't want to get carried away by all this. I admit it's not every day a man gets elected president, but we have to be calm about it. You'll have to carry on here, so we might as well set things in order now. Let's see. Well, Mr. Lincoln, there's only one item that's had me curious for a long time. It's in your handwriting. One book, ten cents. That's a sad commentary on our financial condition, if we've got a list every ten-cent book we buy. One book, ten cents. Oh, yes, of course. That's the Armstrong case. I guess I never got more satisfaction out of any case than I did out of that one. You weren't in the office, Billy. The day Aunt Hannah Armstrong came in to tell me about it. Abe, my boy, Duff. They're trying to hang him, Abe. Hanged Duff? Aunt Hannah, what for? They say he murdered a man, Abe, but I know my boy ain't no murderer. Of course he ain't. We've got to do something about it. We'll go down to Beardstown. You come all the way down to Beardstown? Oh, Abe, I knew we could depend on you. It was you who taught me the meaning of friendship when I needed friends most, Aunt Hannah. It's a little enough to do in return. They won't be hanging any innocent boy if I can help it. First thing tomorrow, we're going down to Beardstown. Tomorrow? But Abe, the trial takes place tomorrow. Tomorrow? That doesn't give us any time at all. We'd better start right away. We'll make Beardstown by noon, and I want to talk to your boy first thing. I'm a strong man here to see you. Lawyer, he says. Yeah. What for? They're giving me a lawyer. Trying to hang me. That's what they're trying to do. No lawyer can help me. My name's Abe Lincoln, Duff. You Abe Lincoln? Yeah. But Ma said you was too important for us to call on now for help.  If you were to measure me from head to toe, I'd be a big lawyer anyplace, Duff. But if you mean important, well, anything important to Hannah Armstrong is important to me, so start telling me, Duff, what happened? Well, I was in Tom Steele's tavern when this man named Metzger come in. He asked if I wanted to have a drink with him. Did you know this Metzger, Duff? Well, I'd seen him here about. And when he offers me a drink, I refuse. So he spills his drink in my face, just like that, for no good reason. Well, I'll rear back. I'll let him have a punch in the nose. Then Tom Steele come between us. That's all I know. I never saw him again, never. Then they come to arrest me a few days later. Metzger had been killed. You didn't see him after the fight. You didn't have any more words with him. No, Mr. Lincoln, I didn't have no words, nothing, so help me. But you did have a fight with him just a few hours before he was killed, and people saw it. That's bad, Duff. Well, please, Mr. Lincoln, I swear I never saw him after that. I swear it. But they're going to hang me. You hear, hang me. Now, just don't you worry, Duff. We'll do all we can because I believe you. Mr. Fullerton, I know that you being prosecuted don't have to tell me much, not anything, if you choose to, but... Well, there's a boy on trial for his life. Perhaps you might bring me up to date in this case. Well, sure thing, Mr. Lincoln. Anything I can do without prejudicing my case. Thank you, sir.  Well, here's the doctor's report. Struck by a blunt instrument on the head. Death occurred five days later. A silent who struck the blow, guilty of murder. It's that simple. That's too simple, whereas boy's life is concerned. How do you know Duff Armstrong struck the blow that led to Metzger's death? Well, now, that's the kind of a question that could prejudice my case. All I can tell you is I've got testimony to that effect. But the boy swears he never saw Metzger after a little fracas they had in the tavern. Oh, man, fighting for his life will say anything to save it. Might even go as far as a prosecutor would to get a conviction. I resent that remark, Mr. Lincoln. Look here, Fullerton. If the boy swears he didn't see Metzger at the time, you should find out if your witnesses are telling the truth. You'll have an opportunity to find out if my witnesses are telling the truth tomorrow, at the trial. Did you find out anything, Abe? Can you save my boy? Oh, and Hannah, they got an awful lot of law lined up against one boy. They got witnesses and a sharp prosecutor and a hostile population. Oh, what can you do, Abe?  Yes, but will that be enough? It'll have to be enough, because we don't know any more than that, but I'll do my best. You have my word. Of course you will. You'll do all you can, Abe. Now, if I had the same assurance from the Lord, I'd feel a might better about this case. While the prospective jurors are being examined, proceed, Mr. Prosecutor. Now, tell me, Johnson, would you have any hesitancy in convicting a man to hang if the evidence showed he was guilty? No, sir. For man's guilty, he deserves to hang. Very well. Mr. Lincoln, you may question the prospective juror. Thank you, uh... Johnson? Yes, sir? I'm glad to see you, Buzz. I knew your father pretty well.  I'd like to have you on my jury. Well, thank you, Mr. Lincoln. You're on my object to this familiarity of Mr. Lincoln with the jurymen. Well, Mr. Fullerton, would you want to disqualify Mr. Johnson?  Well, we could move for a change of venue to New York City. I know a sight less people there than I do here in the state of Illinois. Order! Order! Well, Mr. Fullerton, do you want to disqualify the jurymen? Well, I... I don't know, Your Honor. All right, Johnson. Take your place in the jury box. Next, jurymen. I've seen the whole thing. I've seen Metzger murder and Duff Armstrong murdering. Mr. Allen, tell us what you saw after Duff Armstrong hit Metzger in the tavern on the night of August 29. Well, later on, the same night, I've seen this here defendant, Duff Armstrong, walking along the road following the... The... You mean deceased, Mr. Allen? Yes, sir, the deceased. Well, Armstrong was following him. Then Metzger turned around and there was some words. Then Armstrong raised his hand and struck Metzger with a heavy object. Metzger fell down. Armstrong seemed scared, frightened, I mean. And he threw something into the bushes and run away. I helped Metzger up and set him on his way home. Then I come back later to see what Duff Armstrong threw away and I found that slingshot. And this is the slingshot you found. Yes, sir. Thank you. Your Honor, I've finished my direct examination. Your witness, Mr. Lincoln. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Fullerton. Mr. Allen, I... I heard your test-test-bone in. I reckon if I were sitting in the jury box, I'd say to myself, sounds true. It is true. Well, that's fine. Because I wouldn't want to put a noose around any boy's neck with a story that was anything less than the truth. Would you? I told you it was true. Good, good. We're going to get along fine, Mr. Allen. You said you saw the fight between Duff Armstrong and the deceased. Metzger. I sure did. I see. Well, why didn't you stop the fight if you saw it? Well, I was too far away. So far that even if you ran, you couldn't have got there to stop it? That's right. Well, that makes sense, Mr. Allen. Yeah. But it does sort of raise another question. What's that? You say you saw the fight, but you couldn't stop it because you were too far away. Uh-huh. Yeah. Then if you were too far away, how could you be so sure that the man who killed Metzger was Duff Armstrong? Because it was bright moonlight out. I've seen him. And it was that man sitting right here, Duff Armstrong. And neither you nor nobody else can make me say otherwise. Well, Mr. Lincoln, you've had an opportunity to find out that my witness is telling the truth, and I hope you're convinced. Because that's the testimony that's going to put the news around Duff Armstrong's neck. Court will retest for one hour. You might as well say what you were thinking. You're disappointed in me. I know that. Oh, well, I reckon I don't know about law and such things. Well, I made a mistake with Allen, but somehow I thought I might find an opening in Allen's story. He only kept saying he's seen my Duff hit that man, Metzger. He's seen him cause for his bright moonlight. Hannah, Allen's story sounds too well-rehearsed. He'd never used a word like deceased unless he'd been coached and well-coached, too. But he's talking my boy right into a noose. What are you going to do? I'm going to take a walk until the recess is over. Sometimes you get an idea that way. I might even do some thinking about moonlight. Uh-oh. Are you Abe Lincoln? That's an accusation. I'll have to plead guilty, too, for the rest of my life. Who are you? Nelson Watkins is my name, sir. Maybe I can help you. About Duff Armstrong's case? Yes, about the slingshot. Slingshot? Yes. What do you know about it, Mr. Watkins? Well, I only seen the slingshot from where I was sitting in the courtroom. But it sure is like one I throwed away. You throw it away? Why? Well, I was to a prayer meeting that night and they was talking about, thou shalt not kill. I figure birds and animals is God's creatures, too. I've got no reason to kill them. So I threw the slingshot away. Besides, it was kind of heavy, too. Well, Mr. Watkins, though, what's that got to do with Duff Armstrong? See, if it is my sling, then Duff Armstrong couldn't have used it. How do you know? Because I didn't throw it away till after Metzger was hit. You're sure it's the same slingshot? Can't be certain, sure. But if you can use my information and offer him my service. Come on, Mr. Watkins. We're going over your story again. You are listening to Joseph Cotton as Abraham Lincoln in Witness by Moonlight on The Cavalcade of America, sponsored by the DuPont Company. Maker of better things for better living through chemistry. The court reconvenes in Beardstown, Illinois, and Abe Lincoln, seeking to free an innocent boy from the noose, places on the stand the only friendly witness he has been able to find, Nelson Watkins. Would you repeat that, Mr. Watkins? Oh, yes, Mr. Lincoln. That first slingshot laying on the table was mine. And when did you throw it away? The night Metzger got the blow to kill him. But I threw it away after midnight. So, Duff Armstrong couldn't hit Metzger with it around 11 o'clock, like Alan said.  Thank you. Now, tell me, Watkins. You say this slingshot marked exhibit A was yours? Yes, it was mine. Well, now did you ever see any other slingshot that looked like this? Not exactly. What do you mean, not exactly? Isn't the fact that all slingshots are made about the same way? Why is this slingshot so different? Well, I don't know, except this looks like the one I made. I see. First, you said it was the same one. Now you're beginning to say it looks like the same one. In another few minutes, you might tell us that it's not the one you made at all. You've discredited yourself to my satisfaction, Mr. Watkins. That'll be all. Now, just a minute. Your Honor, I've always wanted to know how to make a handsome slingshot, and if you don't mind, I'd like to find out now tell me, Mr. Watkins, just how did you make your slingshot? Well, through Mr. Linging, first off, a proper weight is the secret of a good slingshot. Yeah. So to give it the right weight, I took an eggshell, put it in the ground. I see. Into the eggshell, I poured some hot lead. When the lead cooled, I poured some zinc on top of it. Then I let the zinc cool. But I found out that lead and zinc don't stick together once they're cooled. Oh. Well, what did you do then? Well, I had to find a way to keep the two parts together. So I covered them both with a piece of cast skin. I cut them an old boot, and sewed it around both pieces of metal with some squirrel skin string. And this is the same slingshot I hold in my hand. Yes, sir. Watkins, do you have a knife? Knife? What for? Watkins, desperate chances are for desperate men. Let me have your knife. Oh, sure. All right. Thanks. Your Honor, may I be permitted to take apart the slang-marked exhibit A? And destroy the people's evidence? I object. Perhaps Mr. Fullerton should have thought of that before. It's his evidence. He entered it as an exhibit for the people. I claim that gives me the right to examine it as closely as I can examine a hostile witness. For this mute piece of evidence is a hostile witness against my client. Go ahead, Mr. Lincoln. Thank you, Your Honor. Now, here, I cut this piece of cast skin covering, and there. Your Honor, you see there are two pieces of metal under the cast skin covering, and one is lead and the other is zinc. And they do not stick together. Everything just as Watkins described it to us. Your Honor, this has been the most theatrical performance on the part of Mr. Lincoln. But now I would like to ask a few questions myself. Now then, Mr. Watkins, you said you made this sling. You told us how. And it seems that it was indeed yours. But can you tell us how you know you threw it away after Mr. Metzger was assaulted by Duff Armstrong? Well, like I said, if Alan saw what he says he saw at 11 o'clock, then Duff couldn't hit Metzger with this thing shot because I didn't throw it away till after midnight. Well, now how do you know it was after midnight? Well, I'd been to a revival meeting. I got out on 11, and while walking home, I threw the sling away. But how do you know it was after midnight? Well, I don't know for sure. I just figured I'd been walking for quite a while. You don't know for sure? You just figured? We don't want guesses, Watkins. We want facts. Facts, Mr. Fullerton? Facts. Well, I got a fact or two I'd like to squeeze in your edge ways. Mr. Alan! I'll recall you to the stand, please. Put it right down, Mr. Alan.  It's what you said before, Alan. Yes, sir. And if you were a distance of, well, say, 150 feet, how did you manage to see him so well? I told you it was bright moonlight. How bright? What do you mean? Just bright, maybe middling bright, or very bright, or just kind of dull bright. Bright. I see. What was the position of the moon at that time? Oh, kind of like about there. I'm afraid I don't get it from your pointing, Mr. Alan, compared to the position of the sun in the day. What would you say? I'd say the moon was about the position of the sun at, oh, 10 o'clock. I see. Aunt Hannah, see that almanac on the table? Yes, Abe. You can throw it away. Throw away this almanac, Abe? What for? Mr. Alan here has just made a liar out of it. Your honor, this procedure is most unorthodox. Mr. Fullerton, this is going to be a heavy blow to all the farmers of Illinois. For years now, most of the men sitting in the jury box probably everyone in this courtroom has put great store in the almanac. We found it to be a true record of the weather, the time of the rising and setting of the sun and the moon and many other facts.  So there's only one thing to do, throw the book away or else, read into the evidence what it says about the moon on the night of August 29th last. Let me have that almanac, Aunt Hannah. Here you are, Abe. Thank you. Now, may I read from the day marked August 29th, phase of the moon, first quarter, time of setting of the moon, 1205. And if that's true, the moon was out of sight by 11 o'clock and there couldn't have been enough moonlight for you, Alan, to tell it 150 feet whether the man who assaulted Metzger was Duff Armstrong or anyone else. There are some facts that are vital in this case and have been proved, the fling shot, the time of the setting of the moon. But there are also some facts that are vital to this case that are not listed in almanacs and cannot be recited by witnesses. I know those facts and I'm going to tell them to you now. This boy on trial for his life was raised by a mother whom I consider in part my mother too. When I needed kindness and love, she gave both to me. I've lived in her house. I know she raised her sons and I know that no boy she raised could be a murderer. On that gentleman of the jury, I give you my solemn word. As the jury reached a verdict in the case of the people of the state of Illinois against Duff Armstrong... We have, Your Honor. What is that verdict? We, the jury, find Duff Armstrong, not guilty. Yes, Billy. That's how that entry got in the ledger. One book, ten cents. Maybe it ought to read one life. Ten cents. I'll just mark it that repaid. You can't understand. I'd be a little touchy about debts and repaying them. Billy, I reckon I'll be making it hard for all the historians to explain how a man who once was a bankrupt failure came to be president of the United States. Children ought to be brought up on more romantic stories than that. You'll be doing great things in Washington, Mr. Lincoln. I'd rather be back here practicing wall, Billy. Have a fine life. I'll envy you. Matter of fact, Billy, that sign hanging downstairs, Lincoln and Herndon let it hang there on the stairs. For one day, one day when I'm through with being president, I'll come back here and take up my work as a lawyer again. We'll be partners, if you want to. It'll be something to look forward to during the difficult days ahead. And now, here's Gaines Whitman speaking for DuPont. As you know, the DuPont company makes better things for better living through chemistry. Eight of the plants manufacturing these better things by applied chemical science are located in northern New Jersey, neighboring state of Delaware, where the DuPont company has its home office. Within a few miles of Newark, New Jersey, from which this cavalcade program has come to you, are the Arlington plant manufacturing DuPont plastics. Two plants at Parlain turning out finishes and photographic films. A plant at New Brunswick making perfume bases and vitamin D compounds. Another at Pompton Lakes manufacturing blasting supplies. One at Perth Amboy providing formaldehyde for the plastics industry. And the Griseli plant, which makes, among other things, DDT and AM8 weed killer. The plant here in the city of Newark manufactures pigments. Some of those beautiful colors on the new automobiles are made with pigments developed at this Newark plant of the DuPont company. Here are eight chemical manufacturing plants. Some of them provide jobs for more than 2,000 employees. Others are quite small. Altogether, they're only a small part of the American chemical industry. There are hundreds of chemical plants of all kinds in the United States operated by many chemical companies. These eight, however, located a few miles apart in one state, do have one thing in common. A human bond which links them together. The men and women of DuPont and the know-how they have gained through familiarity with DuPont's careful, painstaking operating procedures. Without these men and women, the plants would produce nothing. With them, harmoniously working together, they produce plastics, pigments, finishes, films, vitamins, lasting supplies, ceramic colors, and a marvelous insecticide, DDT. This is typical of chemistry. Applied chemical science offers one of the most successful, effective ways of making things to be found anywhere in the realm of modern technology. These things, and many, many others like them, are the products we speak of with such pride as our DuPont, better things for better living, through chemistry. Most people won't go to hear a political speech when they can go to a circus. And John Kenna found the circus in every town he visited. No one wanted to listen to his reasons why Charleston should be chosen the capital of West Virginia. In fact, Kenna's campaign seemed lost until he met Lolo the Clown. Be sure to listen next week to, under the big top, broadcast direct from the locale of the story, Charleston, West Virginia, starring Robert Young as John Kenna, and featuring Roy Atwell as Lolo the Clown on the Cablecade of America. The music for tonight's DuPont Cablecade was composed by Arden Cornwell and directed by Donald Bryan. Our Cablecade was written by Henry Denker and was based on a story in the Lincoln Reader, published by the Rutgers University Press. Joseph Cotton appeared through the courtesy of David O. Selznick, and can currently be seen as one of the eight stars in David O. Selznick's technicolor production, Dual in the Sun. In the cast with Joseph Cotton were Ted Osburn as Watkins, Earl George as Fullerton, Robert Dryden as Allen, Irene Hubbard as Aunt Hannah, House Jamison as the judge, Lawson Serbius Duff, Bob Hague as Billy, and George Petri as Johnson. This is Bill Hamilton inviting you to listen next week to Robert Young and Roy Atwell in Under the Big Top on the Cablecade of America, brought to you by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.
