Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we are going to discuss the following question and the question says that evaluate 1. Limit theta tends to 0 log of theta upon cot of theta 2. Limit x tends to 2 log of x minus 2 upon log of e raise to power x minus e square. A Hopkins rule states that if f of x and g of x are two functions such that f of a is equal to 0 and g of a is equal to 0 then limit x tends to a plus x by g of x is equal to limit x tends to a f dash of x upon g dash of x. This rule is also applicable for a is equal to infinity and g of a is equal to infinity. With this key idea let us proceed with the solution. Now we have to find the value of the expression limit theta tends to 0 log of theta upon cot of theta. Now if we put the value of theta as 0 in this expression we get log of 0 upon cot of 0 which is of infinity by infinity form since log of 0 is equal to minus infinity and cot of 0 is not defined. According to L Hopkins rule if f of x and g of x are functions such that f of a is equal to infinity and g of a is equal to infinity then limit x tends to a f of x upon g of x is equal to limit x tends to a f dash of x upon g dash of x. So applying L Hopkins rule we have limit theta tends to 0 differential of log of theta with respect to theta that is 1 by theta upon differential of cot of theta with respect to theta that is minus 1 upon sine square of theta. Now again if we put the value of theta as 0 in this expression we get 1 by 0 upon minus 1 upon sine square of 0 that is equal to 1 by 0 is infinity upon minus 1 upon sine of 0 is 0 so it's minus 1 upon 0 that is infinity. So this is of infinity by infinity form and this can be written as limit theta tends to 0 minus of sine square theta by theta. Now putting the value of theta as 0 in this expression we get minus of sine square of 0 by 0 which is of 0 by 0 form since sine of 0 is equal to 0 and we know that L Hopkins rule states that if f of x and g of x are functions such that f of a is 0 and g of a is 0 then limit x tends to a f of x upon g of x is equal to limit x tends to a f dash of x upon g dash of x. So applying L Hopkins rule we have limit theta tends to 0 differential of minus sine square of theta with respect to theta that is minus 2 sine of theta into differential of sine of theta that is cos of theta by differential of theta with respect to theta that is 1. Now putting the value of theta as 0 in this expression we get minus 2 sine of 0 into quarter of 0 which is equal to minus 2 into sine of 0 is 0 and quarter of 0 is 1. So this is equal to 0 therefore the value of the expression limit of theta tends to 0 log of theta by quarter of theta is equal to 0 which is the required answer. Now we shall find the value of the expression limit x tends to 2 log of x minus 2 upon log of e raise to power x minus e square. Now if we put the value of x as 2 in this expression we get log of 2 minus 2 upon log of e square minus e square which is equal to log of 2 minus 2 is 0 upon log of e square minus e square which is log 0 and this is of infinity by infinity form since log of 0 is equal to minus of infinity. So this is of infinity by infinity form according to L Hopkins rule if x of x and g of x are functions such that x of a is equal to infinity and g of a is equal to infinity then limit x tends to a f of x upon g of x is equal to limit x tends to a f dash of x upon g dash of x. So applying L Hopkins rule we have limit x tends to 2 differential of log of x minus 2 with respect to x that is 1 upon x minus 2 upon differential of log of e raise to power x minus e square with respect to x that is 1 upon e raise to power x minus e square into differential of e raise to power x minus e square that is e raise to power x minus 0 which is equal to limit x tends to 2 1 upon x minus 2 upon e raise to power x upon e raise to power x minus e square. Now if we put the value of x as 2 in this expression we get 1 upon 2 minus 2 upon e square upon e square minus e square that is 1 upon 0 whole upon e square by 0 which is of infinity by infinity form. So this is of infinity by infinity form and this can also be written as limit x tends to 2 e raise to power x minus e square upon e raise to power x into x minus 2. Now if we put the value of x as 2 in this expression we get e square minus e square that is 0 upon e square into 2 minus 2 that is e square into 0 which is 0. So this is of 0 by 0 form so applying l-hopity rule again we have limit x tends to 2 differential of e raise to power x minus e square with respect to x that is e raise to power x upon differential of e raise to power x into x minus 2 with respect to x by product rule we have e raise to power x into differential of x minus 2 with respect to x that is 1 plus x minus 2 into differential of e raise to power x with respect to x that is e raise to power x. So this is equal to limit x tends to 2 e raise to power x upon e raise to power x plus e raise to power x into x minus 2. Now putting the value of x as 2 in this expression we get e square upon e square plus e square into 2 minus 2 that is equal to e square upon e square plus e square into 0 which is equal to e square by e square that is 1. Therefore the value of this expression limit x tends to 2 log of x minus 2 upon log of e raise to power x minus e square is equal to 1 which is the required answer. This completes our session hope you enjoyed this session.

Welcome back to our USMLE question of the week as always we start reading on the last sentence of the question so that we understand what it's asking. This patient has developed which of the following a 75 year old male with a past medical history of type 2 diabetes a body mass index of 30 and a previous myocardial infarction 15 years ago presents to the emergency department with crushing substernal chest pain readying to his neck and jaw. An ECG reveals ST segment elevation and leads V3 and V4 emergency cardiac catheterization with percutaneous coronary intervention or PCI shows a 99% occlusion of his left anterior descending artery. The patient remains stable after PCI and the echocardiography shows a mildly impaired ejection faction of 43%. Five days later the patient becomes acutely hypotensive and dysnick. The physical exam reveals a high-pitched holocystolic murmur loudest at the apex and radiating to the axilla that has not been present on previous exams. An emergency echo shows an ejection faction of 25%. The patient has developed which of the following. Well I know that we are dealing with one of the complications associated with myocardial infarctions. Specifically in this instance we're talking about five days after our myocardial infarction. There are three specific things that are associated with days 3 to 14 after myocardial infarction.  Therefore I can rule out A, B, and F as possibilities as those do not fall within this normal timeframe. At this point in time to be able to distinguish between an intraventricular septum rupture, a left ventricular free wall rupture, and a papillary muscle rupture we need to look at furthermore into our symptoms. High-pitched holocystolic murmur that's loudest at the apex and radiates to the axilla. This sounds to me very much like a mitral valve regurgitation. If you remember your locations of where to listen to each valve sound and which heart sound, the apex of the heart is where you hear the mitral valve the best. Therefore to me we have mitral regurg associated with a myocardial infarction five days after we're dealing with a ruptured papillary muscle E. E is our correct answer. This patient has suffered a rupture of one of the papillary muscles in the left ventricle. This is a common complication that occurs within three to 14 days after a myocardial infarction. This papillary muscle anchors down the mitral valve keeping it from flopping back into the left atrium on systole. When the papillary muscle is damaged the mitral valve can flop back and allow regurgitation into the left atrium. This will cause a holocystolic blowing murmur that's going to be loudest at the apex and it will radiate to the axilla. This also will explain our reduced ejection fraction as our heart and our left ventricle are not pumping as much blood out of the heart as it is back into the left atrium. We're also seeing dyspnea in this patient that is classic signs of pulmonary edema due to the mitral regurg. The answer is not a ruptured left ventricular free wall because that typically will lead to tamponade and our ruptured intraventricular septum is going to lead us to a left to right shunt.

Yeah.  That's mean. That's my show.


Hello Learners, I am Chanika Roy from Padmanath Gohai Borah School of Humanities, Krishnakanta Handik State University. This is the third part of the video lecture on the poem, Simon Lee by William Wordsworth. In the previous video, we have tried to analyze the theme of the poem and also we have laid emphasis on the summary of the poem. We have seen that the informity of old age is basically the main theme of the poem. We have learned that Simon Lee is an old Huntsman who lives in Carnegie and Shire, which is a county in Wales and although he was very proud of being a Huntsman in his earlier or in his youth but later in his old age there was a turn of his fortune and he was forced to live a life of poverty. Now in this video, we are going to see what kind of style or technique Wordsworth have used while writing the poem. So we shall try to look what kind of a language Wordsworth has used in this poem. The objectives of this video lecture are as follows. To study the language used by William Wordsworth in Simon Lee, to reflect on the poetic style of a William Wordsworth. You must have noted while reading the poem that Wordsworth has used very simple language while writing the poem. In fact, Wordsworth believed that poetry should be written in a language of the common people because such language is not artificial and is more at one with the environment. He believed that the purest poetry is written in the simplest language. Simon Lee, the poem we are now reading, is a good example of this belief. We have noted that this poem is written in a very simple language which all of us can understand. Since his language is devoid of any ornamentation, its effect depends solely on its strength of feeling and imagination. In the preface to the lyrical ballads, he asserts that there neither is nor can be any essential difference between the language of prose and verse. The poem Simon Lee is a simple poem and we can relate how spontaneously the poet has written his experiences or his encounter with the old huntsman. Wordsworth's absolute genius lies in his simplicity and he makes us contemplate the instinctive nature of the feeling of gratitude and also on man's general cold-heartedness. And this gives the poem its quite intensity as well as sensitivity. We have seen that Simon Lee is a ballad. That is, it is a poem which tells the story in a number of short regular stanzas. It will be interesting to know that Wordsworth never wrote down his immediate expressions as poems. Rather, he let them sing into his mind where these impressions and feelings remained till they became clear. The poet believed that if he wrote down his immediate feelings, he would not be able to do justice to his composition. The poem Simon Lee was inspired by his encounter with an old huntsman as mentioned earlier and he has noted down or he has written this poem later by recollecting the memories of his encounter with the huntsman. Wordsworth has very effectively juxtaposed the present and the past in the poem. You must have noticed that he describes firstly Simon Lee as he lives in Paneery in Cardigan Shire. Let me read out the lines from the poem. In the sweet shire of Cardigan, not far from Pleasant Iver Hall, an old man dwells a little man and he then takes us to the past where Simon Lee was portrayed as a strong and able huntsman whom no one could rival. The lines from the poem goes thus, He, all the country could outrun, could leave both man and horse behind. In the past and present are both important for the story. Apart from this, we can also see William Wordsworth's use of irony in the poem. Particularly, as Wordsworth says and mentioned earlier, Simon Lee never received his due for the services rendered during his youth. And the lines from the poem goes thus, One summer day I chanced to see this old man doing all he could to unearth the root of an old tree, a stump of rotten wood. So Wayne was his endeavour that at the root of the old tree he might have worked forever. So Wordsworth actually tries to show us that the old huntsman is as close to the earth as the stubborn tree root which he tries to uproot but in vain. So by reading this poem, we have gained an idea that Wordsworth, without trying to be didactic or being too suggestive, has given us a poem which is lengthy, of course, but at the same time full of feelings. The poem evokes deep thoughts in our minds and we are moved by the emotions which it gives rise in our hearts. We agree with the point when he says, I have heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds with cold rays still returning, alas the gratitude of man hath offner left me mourning. So we have noted that Wordsworth has used the simplest of language while writing this poem and the simplicity is the main attraction of the poem. He has narrated the story of an old huntsman in fragments and although the poem is a lengthy one, it is full of emotions and feelings. So I hope this video will be useful to you while reading the poem. You are requested to go through the text of the poem because it will definitely help you to get an in that knowledge about the writing style, about the use of language of William Wordsworth and this will also help you to appreciate the poem in a better way. With this we have come to the end of this video. Wish you a happy learning.


President Biden, not all of America is with you on this one. And you need to wake up, man, to genocide. Journey just like this. And we still stand by and say nothing. We will remember this. But all of you, you need to know, I swear to God, you are on the right side of history. You just heard a snippet from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib's heartfelt speech where she calls for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Now we're going to see more of that speech in a moment. But first, she's making this call as organizations like Human Rights Watch warn that Israel's total seizure of the Gaza Strip has put more than a million children at grave risk depriving them of access to basic necessities and leaving hospitals without sufficient fuel to treat scores of Israeli airstrike victims. But despite that warning and other warnings, the bombing has not stopped, resulting in protests in D.C. organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, who is reporting that 500 Jewish peace activists were arrested at the Capitol on Wednesday for civil disobedience and also 10,000 in total took to the streets to also call for an immediate ceasefire, along with Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and others. Now in the speech from the Congresswoman, she basically echoed the same sentiment as the peace activists. Now her and just a few other members of Congress, including Corey Bush, Iona Presley and others, have had the courage to call for a ceasefire publicly. And in doing so, they've been labeled as terrorist sympathizers and they've been smeared and attacked relentlessly. Images like this are being shared under her tweets, calling her part of the Hamas Squad. Marjorie Taylor Greene is now ironically accusing her of organizing an insurrection claiming that she coordinated a global intifada and is demanding that she be held accountable on top of that. Greene is announcing plans to censure Rashida Tlaib over the protest, but to be clear, it's not just Republicans going after Tlaib. It's also Democrats as well. In the politics subreddit dominated mostly by liberals, many self-identified Democrats condemned Tlaib as well with one writing, I'm embarrassed by her as a Democrat. Hamas told you who they are and if you don't clean them out, it's a guarantee that their murdering will happen again. Another person chimed in saying, as a liberal, she is an embarrassment to Basal, and this just really goes to show you that history always repeats itself and there are so many parallels between now and the post 9-11 days. So let's go back to September 14th of 2001 when Congress voted on whether or not to give George W. Bush authorization for military force. Now at the time, there was only one member of Congress who was against it and that individual was Barbara Lee. The Washington Post explains, Representative Barbara Lee agonized over her vote. She said later, until that morning when the California Democrat listened to the prayer of one of the country's most prominent clergymen. It was three days after the September 11 terrorist attacks and like nearly every other member of Congress, she was attending a memorial service at Washington National Cathedral. In his opening invocation, the Dean of the Cathedral, the Reverend Nathan Baxter said, let us also pray for divine wisdom as our leaders consider the necessary actions for national security, wisdom of the grace of God, that as we act, we not become the evil we deplore. When she quoted him on the House floor later that day to explain her vote against giving the president a broad open-ended authorization for military force, she was called a terrorist, a traitor, and close to treasonous. The House vote was 420 to 1. The Senate vote was 98 to 0. And fast forward to today and spectator index reports that the U.S. Senate voted 97 to 0 to pass a resolution in support of Israel. Now I'm going to repeat some of the smears used against Barbara Lee. She was called a terrorist, a traitor, close to treasonous. Sound familiar? Hamas Squad, terrorist, terrorist, sympathizer, and embarrassment to Democrats. History repeats itself. Now at the time, giving Bush authorization for war was not controversial, even if you were a progressive, even if you were anti-war generally speaking. In fact, it was more controversial to not give him that authorization because September 11th just happened. And so to not give the president broad authorization to conduct war, well it was implied that you sympathized with the terrorists. So some of the people in Congress who we now recognize as the most vocal critics of Bush's war on terror like Bernie Sanders, even he voted to give Bush authorization for military force. And at the time he didn't know that he was in the wrong, none of them did. But Barbara Lee did. And she was crucified for it. But 20 years later, she's been thoroughly vindicated. But unfortunately, her worst fears have come to fruition. 3,000 people tragically died on 9-11. And in response, more than 1 million Iraqis who had nothing to do with that tragedy also perished. That is happening in Gaza right now. History is repeating itself. Innocent civilians who had nothing to do with Hamas' attack are dying. More than 1,000 children have died. And even though I believe that Rashida Tlaib, like Barbara Lee, will also be vindicated in 20 years, that doesn't negate from how difficult it is right now to be the voice of reason in a moment when nobody wants to listen to reason, when everyone is out for vengeance and everybody is just thinking emotionally. But even though it's difficult, being courageous and defiant in the face of persecution is needed now more than ever when human lives are literally on the line. So to be clear, Rashida Tlaib is not calling for a ceasefire because she's sympathetic towards Hamas. She is calling for a ceasefire because as the sole Palestinian American in Congress, she knows that her people are not responsible for the crimes of Hamas. And violence against innocent Palestinians is not going to stop Hamas. So let's listen to her and the few other lawmakers explain why a ceasefire is so necessary right now. We have doctors in Gaza treating babies. They say we can't evacuate the South. It will be a death sentence for these babies. They said 50,000 pregnant women are unable to obtain basic health services right now. Entire families are being wiped out. All while President Biden and Secretary Blinken and the majority of Congress fail to even hint to the need to de-escalate or facilitate a ceasefire, and that to me is a failure. If we affirm that all lives have dignity and value as people of faith, we cannot stand by while civilians are indiscriminately murdered. Vengeance should not be a foreign policy doctrine. Our shared humanity is at stake, and we must move with urgency. With a full-scale invasion of Gaza likely imminent, hundreds of thousands, if not millions of lives, hang in the balance. And it's not only happening right before our eyes. It's happening with the support and the power of the United States government, and it is shameful. In addition to sharing my grief and sorrow, I want to affirm my strong belief that all, meaning all, all human life is equally precious. A belief that above all else, we must save lives. We must lead with love and solidarity. We must fight against violence and human suffering. As a pastor, I'm reminded in this moment of Matthew 5 and 9, which says, blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. This biblical call to facilitate reconciliation, not violence, could not be any clearer to me. If you take those words and you apply them to any other conflict, it's completely uncontroversial. But because Americans have been conditioned to view Palestinians as inferior to all other human beings and less than human, that call for ceasefire has been met with fierce, fierce pushback. Not just by Republicans, not just by Democrats, but by progressives as well. Take John Federman, for example. A typically progressive member of the Senate took to Twitter to effectively call for a genocide with his full chest, writing, Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women and children. Hamas does not want peace. They want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized. Now, for a moment, let's just put aside the fact that Israel's far right fascist, ultra nationalist government funds Hamas in order to undermine and divide Palestinians. Put that aside for a moment. But I just want you to fully comprehend that this is what he's calling for. Fathers and mothers burying their innocent children who are now dead because Israel is bombing Gaza. They are bombarding them with bombs and there is nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape. So they sit there and they take it. They wait and they wonder if they're next. It's estimated that more than 1000 children have already been killed. And bloodthirsty politicians like John Federman don't think that that's enough. So my question to John Federman is, how many dead children will it take to get you to say enough is enough? 2000? 10,000? 100,000?  How many?  Imagine if your kids were in danger. Where's your humanity? But the answer is that there's no humanity. There is no humanity. We're already to the point where liberal celebrities are defending collective punishment openly. And they're saying that it's perfectly fine if Israel denies food and water to Palestinians who had nothing to do with Hamas's attack. Take Sarah Silverman, for example, who wrote this on Instagram. PSA, there is a very strange thing happening. Many are saying that it's inhumane that Israel is cutting off water and electricity to Gaza. Israel made it pretty simple. Release the hostages and we will turn it back on. Instead of pleading with Hamas to release civilian hostages, which include babies and toddlers, there are politicians cough cough AOC calling Israel inhumane. If that isn't enough for you, Israel does not need to supply Gaza with these resources, which they do for free. If Hamas didn't spend billions of dollars on terrorism, they would be able to build infrastructure to support themselves. So this is what people mean when they say scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds. Here you have a liberal defending the war crimes of a far right Trumpian government and unironically defending collective punishment, which is a war crime. If you don't believe that's a war crime, don't take my word for it. Look up international law. Now, first and foremost, building infrastructure is not an option. As Stimson explains in 1967, Israeli authorities issued military order 158, which states that Palestinians are not allowed to construct any new water infrastructure without obtaining a permit from the Israeli army. Such permits are nearly impossible to obtain, and Palestinians are also denied access to the Jordan River and freshwater springs. But putting aside the practicality for a moment, imagine if Mexico, for example, controlled access to the water of all Americans and the electricity of all Americans and the US government decided to kidnap Mexican hostages and then Mexico shut off our water and response. As a US citizen, even if you wanted to, you would not be able to negotiate on behalf of our government and you could demand that they release the hostages, but our government would not listen to what we had to say. We'd be completely powerless in that situation, we know because our government never listens to what we have to say. So ask yourself this question. In that hypothetical, is it really moral for you to be punished for something that you have no control over, to be punished for the actions of your government? The answer is of course not, because we're Americans and thus we are fully human.  You are less than human. You are inferior according to these liberals. That's what Sarah Silverman is effectively saying. She does not view Palestinians as human beings, which is why she can't comprehend why it's bad to punish all of them. 2.2 million people, 50% of which are children for the crimes of Hamas, but as egregious as this rhetoric sounds right now, even from liberals, it's permissible and people aren't going to see how genocidal they sound until years pass and public opinion turns against it, right? The same happened with the Iraq war. Everyone was out for blood until it became not popular and then people were like, oh, okay, since it's not popular now, it's easy for me to understand why maybe just killing Muslims indiscriminately who had nothing to do with the crimes against us isn't the best idea. So the people who are going against the grain right now, they deserve a lot of credit. And there are a lot of them. There are White House staffers who are challenging the United States' disregard for human life. And on top of that, you have state department officials like Josh Paul, resigning in protest of the Biden administration's transfer of weapons to Israel, which we all know they will use to slaughter innocents. You also have Adam Raymer, the political director for so-called Progressive Congressman Ro Khanna, resigning over his refusal to sign onto the squad's resolution that calls for a ceasefire. So I mean, even though it's rare, you do see people within positions of power doing the right thing right now. And they absolutely deserve our respect and support and appreciation. And decades from now, we are going to look back at this very moment and be shocked at how inhumane so many people were in this moment, including many so-called progressives, the lack of humanity they are expressing. But thankfully, we actually have people in Congress right now who are being courageous and defiant even in the face of persecution and even death threats. Take Cory Bush, for example, another brave voice who is not afraid to call out the crimes that her government is complicit in. Less than a week ago, only a handful of members of Congress dared to utter the word ceasefire. We were called by our administration repugnant. That's disgraceful for pushing peace. But I tell you what, there is nothing repugnant and nothing disgraceful about saving lives. War disgraceful. Members joined us in the introduction of the ceasefire now resolution. So the momentum push for peace is working. You being on the street over the last 11 days is working. It's to more violence. And so together, you all, we must be bold. We must stand. We must stand on the side of humanity. We must stand on the side of justice. We must stand on the side of equality. We must stand on the side of self-determination. We must stand on the side and we must stand on the side of peace. And we must be willing to speak out against war and violence. Beautifully put, and she mentioned the ceasefire resolution. And these are the members of Congress at the time that I record this video currently that are brave enough to go on the record and explicitly call for peace. Note that four additional members added their names. Now, if your representative is not here, I would highly encourage you to call them and urge them to join Court Bush's call for a ceasefire. And I understand to viewers how depressing it is to see only a handful of names there, but think about how much worse it was before. September 14, 2001, there was just one voice of reason calling for peace. Now in 2023, we have 16, 16 Barbaralees, including Barbaralee herself calling for a ceasefire. Even though most Americans have not learned anything from the Iraq war and the death and destruction that that caused, some have learned and they're using what they've learned and that experience to try to do better in the future. And I think that's really important. And those who have learned, I think they are making a difference. It might be a small difference. It might be marginal, but it is a difference. Unlike the early 2000s, we have Democrats in Congress who are actually calling out their own party's complicity in war. That's important. That matters. So I want to go back to Rashida Thalib's speech, because I want to play a different portion for you. Because what she says here is very important. These types of voices were not in Congress previously, but to now have somebody in Congress saying this, I think that is cause for optimism. So we have to speak the truth. We can't stop allowing people to police our words, to target what we say. At the end, Maya and Shama should be alive. And if we don't get back to our shared humanity, I don't think we're ever, ever going to be able to come back from this. And to my president, to our president, yes, he's still, well, hold on. I know I ain't, I want him to know as a Palestinian American is also somebody of Muslim faith. I'm not going to forget this. And I think a lot of people are not going to forget this. And it's not, it's not, it's not a threat. It isn't. They think we're joking. I mean, I think the White House and everyone thinks that we're just going to sit back and let this just continue to happen. No. The fact of the matter is our lives are not safe with you or the oppression of indigenous communities. When are we going to say enough? It makes me so angry to have to say, but like me, he literally, literally believed in this party that was supposed to be inclusive of all of our opinions and our, and our views and our political stance and, and all of these things. But what is starting to get really, really, really clear and very loud is that somehow many of us in this room, because of our political opinions, because maybe our faith is a certain faith, maybe because our ethnicity is certain ethnicity, that somehow we're subhuman. That was great. Seeing thousands of Jewish activists and the only Palestinian American in Congress stand in solidarity on this issue and call for peace, that is poetic. That is a genuinely beautiful thing to see, especially considering how difficult it is to speak up and open yourself up to Islamophobic vitriol from conservatives and liberals, right? And to all of these Jewish peace activists, I absolutely commend them because they're also being smeared, right? If you speak out against the government of Israel, you're oftentimes labeled anti-Semitic, but if you're Jewish and you condemn the government of Israel, you're often labeled as a self-hating Jew. It's just despicable and anti-Semitic, but this is what we've seen. But as Rashida Tlaib said in the first clip that we played at the beginning of this video, all of the people who are speaking up right now, they're on the right side of history and it doesn't always pay to be right, but in my opinion, the cost of being wrong is much, much higher. So don't be like most people in power currently, be like Rashida Tlaib, be like Cory Bush, who are learning from the mistakes of the Iraq War, who are learning from the mistakes that our government and all other Western governments made. September 11th changed the world. Our deepest fears now haunt us. Yet I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States. Some of us must urge the use of restraint. Our country is in a state of mourning. Some of us must say, let's step back for a moment, let's just pause just for a minute and think through the implications of our actions today so that this does not spiral out of control.


Hi everybody, it's Sam from Mixed Up Craft. Thank you for watching my tutorial today. I'm going to be showing you how to put together the 5x7 version of the slider cards from my new Super Sliders collection. So this is how it will look. You can use the zigzag mats and layers or you can use the plain. You actually get a lot of different mats and layers in this one. And this will create this kind of makeup palette look. So when it folds flat, you've got all your makeup palettes kind of colours there. And then when you open it, it will reveal your message and you could have a gift card on here. You can stamp other sentiments. It's entirely up to you. Now also you do get, there is a stamp set, which is this one here. This is the makeup stamp set. And you have these palettes here, which will stamp for you. So if you would rather have the palette here, which I have on a 6x6 version, which I'll be sharing on the channel, you can stamp and colour them all. Or if you want to use the dies, then you have them in the die set here.  You also get the little dropped earrings. You get the eyeshadow little palette there. You've got the blush brush and you've got little perfume bottles, which is what I'm going to do today. So I'm not going to make the actual makeup palette. I'm going to decorate it slightly differently. I just really want to show the mechanism and how it all works. So it can be displayed like this. Or if you just fold it up, if that person maybe doesn't have a lot of room, they can also display it just as a top folding card there. And I've just stamped inside Happy Birthday. So let me show you how to make it. Okay, so the papers I'm using are from the Candy Paper Pads. This is a brand new paper pad within this collection. And I'm using this gorgeous blue here. So you get the blue, plain blue, and then you get the blue foiling, which I've pulled out here. And you can just see just how wonderful that is. I love the gold against that blue. So I'm going to show you exactly what I've diced up, but that's the paper pad. And you get all different other foils. You've got that rose gold, which is beautiful. I've used that on a circle card. And then you've got the turquoise against the rose gold there, which looks really nice. You have, again, there's that blue with the gold. And then I think I used the silver on another card. Yeah, I've used both the silvers on other cards, which again, you'll see featured. And also I've taken lots of photos, which are over on my Facebook group as well. So that's the paper pad. So what you want to do, so I'll show you all the dies you get here. So you get 18 dies in this set. And what you want to do, so I've already got my five by seven card blank. Okay, so that's just a shot brought one. If you want to make up your own, you'll need a piece of 10 by seven. And along the 10 inch side, you just want to score it five inches. Hold it in half and you've got your card there. Then what I've done, so you'll see also you have this large die. So you could cut your card shape from that. If you want to, all you can have that is your first mat layer. But I've actually gone in and I've done this one here. And I have die cut it, you'll see there in that lovely foiled striped paper. And then what I've also done is I've cut a piece in white because I'm using the gold foiling here. I want to do some heat embossing. So you'll see on the glasses and I'll talk you through them in a minute, but they've actually been heat embossed using the stamp. So because if I was just using a normal ink to stamp, I would say you don't need this second piece. If you've got a white card base, you can just stamp directly onto the card base. But because I'm using embossing powder, and when you add your heat to a card stock, it's going to warp, even if it's very hot and you don't keep it on the card stock for long, it will still warp slightly. So if you have it on a separate piece, you can then attach that piece to here with then this piece over the top. It will all make sense when I put it together in a moment. But that way, your main card blank isn't warped. And by sticking it onto that flat piece, it will flatten everything out for you. So again, we'll talk more about that. But if you do want to do heat embossing, then I would suggest that you cut this again for that to sit over the top. Then I've also cut the mechanism part. So this is the pull-out piece. Now what I mentioned in some of the lives when I was doing the demos with this, is it's quite easy to see what part is the mechanism, what part are all your mats and layers. Now you'll see here, all your mats and layers will sit perfectly inside that largest rectangle. These two here, if I take that away, you'll see this one here, this is the mechanism. And it's like this across the three sizes, because we've got the six by six square, the six by six circle, and then the five by seven zigzag. And you'll have these three rectangles. The smallest rectangle will always face you. And again, I'll show you that in a moment. But that looks obscure, you know, it's not just a standard rectangle. And it wouldn't fit correctly in these. Okay, and you'll see that that fits with this one. Again, this is a rectangle, but if I was, they don't sit properly, that one doesn't sit within the zigzag. This one here, it doesn't sit properly. Okay, it wouldn't fit within all of that. So when you get them, if you did ever, you know, kind of mix them up and you were a bit concerned, just lay them all down. And the ones that fit perfectly within the large rectangle, you know, all your mats and layers, and your mechanism are those two there. And you'll see they fit nicely within each other. So what I've gone and done is I've cut this piece here using that mechanism. And this is the pullout tabs. This is the one that you could stick a gift card to. We're going to stamp on and all that kind of stuff. So I'll leave that one there. And then we're going to need that mechanism. So I'll take that one out now. And then what I've also gone and done is I've cut these pieces, which will make a bit more sense when I actually cut the mechanism. But these are these smallest mats and layers here. And that's what I'm going to build up my kind of little pop-up piece. And it's going to have these glasses with the glamour and everything on them there. Okay.  Like I said, I've chose this zigzag. And we're going to sit our mechanism inside here. Now you want it to be closer to the bottom part than to the top. But what's going to happen is this will be behind here and then we'll be able to pull that up like so. Okay. And we have a little pull, finger pull actually. Let me take that off. It's this one here. And it's this little kind of arrow shape so that it will fit within these zigzags and it just keeps everything looking nice and neat and tidy. Now when you do lay this down, you want to make sure that you've got a tape that's going to fit. So I've got a couple of sizes here. So if I bring this down, you need to make sure that you can get a tape that runs along the bottom there and then obviously up the sides. And I've just been finding this thin one here, which is not, there was 1 eighth of an inch, works really, really well. But also if you've got any of your kind of precision nibs glue applicators here, you can get a very thin bead and you'd be able to put a thin bead of glue around there as well. But with the liquid glue, just be careful because you don't want to kind of, once it sticks together and it spreads out, you don't want it to interfere with the mechanism. So just a little few kind of little tips there, just things to kind of look out for when you're putting these cards together. So I've got some tape here. I'm just going to take some of the stickiness off because I'm using the foil paper here. You know, anything sticky on it, you peel it away, it might lift it. But what I've also been saying is when you do kind of tack this in place, or you might have a magnetic shim, that will, you know, usually hold the dies. Always stick anything within that middle rectangle. So you've got your bottom, middle and top because this one is the one that you're going to cover. So if you were to kind of lift any of the pattern, or the paper, it's not going to matter because you're going to cover it. So I've just put a little piece there. And then I'm just going to grab another piece of tape, again just remove some of that stickiness. And I'm going to add this piece. Now it will sit within the centre kind of mountain there. So you've got all these valleys and mountains. That middle one is where you want to sit that.  I'm going to have it about there. And you want to make sure, if I turn it over, it's just going to cut. You can see the cut lines there. So you want to sit that so that it's going to cut right within those valleys, either side. And if you're a little bit off you can always snip it so don't, you know, again don't worry too, too much but just try your best to get that in the middle there. And again I'm just going to hold that in place.  Okay so that cut like butter, the actual finger pull has fallen out completely. And you can see now where that is cut down really nicely within that section there. Okay and then I'm just going to pull this away carefully like so. And because I took a lot of the sticking this off actually it's not lifted any of that cardstock at all. If you've got any low-tack washi tapes as well you know all that kind of stuff works. So now we've got our mechanism. Okay so you'll see it's cut three sides but it stayed attached and then it's left you these score lines. So the one furthest away from you you want to fold so it creates a valley fold. The one closest, the middle one that then becomes a mountain and then the one closest to becomes a valley. So what you will have is this effect and you can see there where we've got that slider. Okay and then that will now, if you want using embossing powder that would go on to here and then you could just move it up and with stump you know within the space. But because I'm going to be doing some heat embossing I'm now going to bring this piece in and I'm going to line this up over the top perfectly. Okay don't worry about the finger pull bit there or anything because you're going to that will be hidden. So lay it down so it does because you're going to match this up when you stick it onto the card as well.  So you've got quite a lot of space there to be able to stamp you know do the the little palette if you want to do that it's entirely up to you. But I'm going to have it about halfway I've got a sentiment that I'm going to stamp here and I'm just going to mark the pencil mark very lightly so you can rub it out just the four sides so that when you take it away you can see there where you want to stamp your sentiment. Okay and then I'm going to stamp my message so for this one here I'm going to have the glamour dye which I'll again talk about that in the moment that's going to come out the top so I think I'm just going to have Hello Fabulous or I may have where's the other one that I like. So you don't look a day over Fabulous because there's the glasses so I think I'm going to use that one and then there's the little stars which I've used a lot because they're great little fillers but you've got the XOXO this is the makeup again that stamp set which is where I've used the glasses so what I've done is I stamped the glasses and then heat emboss them and then in the matching dye set here so these two work together you've got the dye there to cut them out or you could just cut them in gold card stock and they would look really nice and then I just cut them again in a gold mirrored card and then paper pieced it so that they've you know the actual kind of the lens there you know they've got that gold on them so I think that sentiment will go quite well but like I said I've got the hearts here so I'm going to pull those out and I've got the stars and you've got the lips let's do that as well so I'm just going to prep the area there to just make sure you get all of the any kind of oils any static little powder pouch there will work really well and then I'm just going to pick up my sentiment lay that one down there perfect and then let's do lips and then maybe I'll leave the hearts for just use the stars just to fill in a couple of little areas let's do there there there I think we'll do okay then I've got some gold embossing powder here there we go that looks perfect I think I'm a little bit crooked with my sentiment but I can live with that I think it'll be fine so now the key to heat embossing is you want to heat this up for a good 30 40 seconds before you apply you want that to be piping hot so that it will instantly melt that embossing powder and it will therefore mean that you're not having the heat on the card for that long you're literally going on instantly melting it and then moving it along the card and then taking it off the less time this has actually on the card stock the less warping you'll get okay so now I've got my heat embossed sentiment and there's a little bit of warping can you see just there but that will easily flatten once we then stick it onto our card blank and I'm going to use the Kalao glue as well because that will really help it so next we can stick this down into the center of the card blank because we've got the zigzag I'm just going to pop it all on there and I'm just going to go in just not really squeezing the glue and just moving the glue I'd already popped down just up into those little kind of points just so that that all sticks down as well a little bit more in the middle there again make sure the cards opening the right way and I can just I'm going to bring it down just a little bit because you want your pull tab to sit at the top there like so and then I'm just going to flip it over and just hold that in place and it will completely flatten out again and it's just a really good way to be able to do that heat embossing but without it you don't want a rocky card especially with anything that's got a mechanism because it's just going to interfere with that and not you know allow it to slide so freely okay so that's now all ready for this to go back over the top and we're going to put our pull tab in between there as well you can see that sentiment will reveal when we lift it so it looks really nice so I also just want to do a little bit of heat embossing on this one now in the sentiment set you have a little die here that's got your pull so I'm going to take that one out and I'm just going to just put a little bit of the powder along the top there and then what you want to do is sit this one now the bottom of this the very edge of this needs to line up with the bottom of that piece you see there just popping it in and you want to make sure that you've got an even amount so it should hit the very first valley see my pull piece is just sitting just in there and you want to make sure that it's nice and flush with the flat part there the bottom and then you can see where you need to stamp your pull so again just touch that so I'm just going to go back over all the powder rubs off so don't worry about that and then I'm just going to pop my pull a little bit of my Versa mark on there and then I'm just going to stamp my pull there we go and I can take that away I'm going to add some that's already on the paper there tap off the excess and now I'm just going to heat set that okay so that's all done I've also cut a white piece stuck it on the back again just to give it that strength and also if you've done any heat embossing it's not going to warp and then I've got this glamour now if you're going to put a gift card in here then on this section then you won't need to do this piece but I'm going to just have mine pop up and it's going to have a glamour so I've just got my glue here and I'm just going to cover this if you've got any double sided sticky sheets and you could die cut it using that so the whole thing's a sticker because obviously these are quite delicate but they give such a nice effect and they suit this collection having these kind of nice joined up script and then I'm just going to pay that one down there so and then we're going to flip this over and you want to add some tape to this bottom one here okay so just that smallest rectangle at the bottom of that mechanism that's where you want to put your tape first and then we're going to take the backing off and you're going to sit it now what you can do is line it up with your pull because you know that that's in place and then line up so if you kind of bring up this and then you can line up the bottom line up your pull tab pull word that's what I mean you can see you want that to run flush at the bottom so if you lift that piece up as you stick that down it'd be easy to do and now you can see how that's going to work okay next flip it over and you can see the space you have for your tape so I know this thin tape will fit around here but like I said if you have got one of these you can get a very thin bead and you can go in all the little zigzags here and you can stick it down that way if you want but I'm just going to use this tape here okay like so and then again just take the backing off and then all you need to do is line this up with that white zigzag piece so I'm just going to pop that side down along the bottom and then just finish along the side there okay and then you've got your pull tab so you just pull it up and it will reveal your lovely message there and that glamour or a gift card which looks really nice as well so now I just want to finish it off and it will all fit into your envelope with some decoration here so I'm going to add some glue to this middle rectangle you don't want to put anything on the bottom one you can use double sided tape here if you want but I'm just going to use this it's a bit quicker plus it's very strong so it will just strengthen the card and then I've cut two of these again just gives it a bit of strength because this is a paper in the paper pad so it works on its own anyway but I'm going to sit that one it will sit perfectly within the width of that mechanism piece so again if I now pull that up so you don't want to make sure you don't stick anything on this piece it's just got to go on that section then you've got that free all right and test it as well because if it goes past that school line it's just going to ruin the whole thing it's just not going to work and then I've got this one here which is going to be my layer to go over the top so I'm just going to lay that one down so and then with the glasses I've already put some foam on the backs there so they can go in the center and then I have cut the earrings I'm actually going to probably add some pearls to these and you can stick all of these little embellishments around the bottom so I'm going to just add a few more bits to them and you'll see that in a moment and I'm also going to just heat emboss the happy birthday sentiment here you've also got hello beautiful fabulous friend life is short by the shoes glamorous friend there are so many in fact I might do the glamorous friend because it says glamour and then it says you don't look a day over and then inside I'm going to have the happy birthday so I'm going to get all of that done and then I'll show you the finished card okay so there is the finished card so you can see I've just heat embossed the glamorous friend sentiment and just stuck that on the side there I've also gone and die cut the kind of just well I die cut it again in the glitter white card but then I just cut each piece out so you still see the gold underneath and it's just a really nice addition I just love those little earrings you can see closer up there your perfume bottles and then again you just pull your tab and it will reveal your lovely sentiment that dye at the top there so it can be as I mentioned before displayed like this or if you slide all that back down you open up the card and then inside I've just embossed the happy birthday use some of that blue paper so it keeps everything matching and then it can display be displayed like so I think it looks lovely and then there's that one again to give you that other look using all of the kind of makeup palette dyes there to create that look and you can see the matte layer is bigger I've added another piece whereas this one I've just used that one there and the smaller ones so there's you know there's lots of ways to build this together and you know create your own styles really so I love them I think they're really really good they're really fun and I like that they fit into that five by seven envelope so thank you for watching I hope that helps you know those that have purchased this dye set how to put it together and I'll be sharing more tutorials in the future so thanks for watching and I'll see you soon bye

It's a bright snappy Saturday morning in October, the kind of a day that's supposed to make a man feel like working. And as Gilder Sleeve stands in his front parlor smoking his after breakfast cigar, he glances out of the window and sure enough, he sees a task. Leroy, I thought I told you to rake up those leaves. Didn't I? You didn't say when to rake them? I suppose you want to wait till they're covered with snow. The leaves must be raked now, Leroy, today. Today? Why can't I do the Monday afternoon, huh? First thing Monday afternoon. Because I want them done today. And I'll see why they couldn't wait till Monday. Don't argue, my boy. You haven't a single thing to do all day today. It's my Monday. No, you started them Wednesday, but you didn't finish. You must learn to concentrate, my boy. Buckle down. Do a job right. Finish it up. Could you help me, uncle? Between us, we can finish it up in a hurry. Uh, I'm busy, Leroy.  I am not sitting around. I'm worrying about finding some kind of work so I can support you and Marjorie. Wish all I had to do was worry. What did you say, Leroy? Nothing. Well, get at those leaves and right now.  Oh, sure. I cleaned it. Will it bear inspection, Leroy? Well, gosh, if you're going to go over it with a magnifying glass. Never mind that. Did you make your bed? I could have forgotten that. Yes. Confounded, Leroy. I don't know what I'm going to do with you. I looked at your room yesterday and it was a regular pigsty. How can you stand to live in it? I don't know. I'm just naturally sloppy, I guess. Oink, oink. And don't be so smart, young man, or I'll make you smart. In a certain place. Understand? Oh, oh, sure. Now go upstairs and do your room at once so it can stand inspection. Okay. Leroy, have you done your practicing? Leroy. What did you say, young?  Some. Some. I pay good money for those lessons, young man. You get over to that piano and start practicing right now. What about my room? Practice the piano. What about the leaves? Practice the piano. Sit down on that bench and don't get off of it for two hours. My dear, have you done your room this morning? Oh, yes, Uncle Moore. Make your bed? Of course, I always do. Leroy, why can't you be more like your sister? Oh, she makes me sick. Oh, young man, we're all supposed to do our part around here. Excuse me, Mr. Guilty. Have you made your bed, Britty? I mean, what is it? Miss Marjorie, those curtains from your room have been sitting in my laundry tub for three days. I can't do my laundry until you get them out of there. Marjorie? Miss Perfect. Leroy, practice the piano. Mr. Smartypants. And you go wash those curtains, young lady. By George, we're going to have some new work habits around here. When we start something, we're going to finish it. We've got to learn to concentrate. Are you counting, Leroy? Well, try. All the great pianists know how to count, Leroy. Well, they don't count so you can hear them once I was watching it. He doesn't have to count anymore, but he knows how. Now, stop arguing. Count yourself if you want to. Okay. Play it right, my boy. I'm trying to. That's the spirit. You're not trying, Leroy? Oh, yeah, I'm on. Well, don't make the very same mistake every time. You're starting it beside. Oh, well, it's going to sound very nice when you've learned it. I wonder when that will be. For goodness' sake, Leroy, go back and play it right. Do I have to start at the beginning? No, no, no. Just go back a little way. Not concentrating. You learn to play whether you've got talent or not. Trouble is, you don't practice enough. I'll see who it is. No, you won't. You sit right where you are and keep practicing. Good morning, Judge. Come on in. Well, Leroy practicing. Very pretty. Boy plays nicely. That shows how much you know, Judge. What's on your alleged mind? Not a thing, Gildy. Not a thing. Can't an old friend just drop in without having something on his mind? He can, but he doesn't. If you come over here again, the pry into matters of my employment, Judge. Well, I haven't, but now that you bring it up... It may interest you to know that I'm considering a number of possibilities. No, you've been saying that for weeks. What about Nelson Humphstone? Did you get anywhere with him? Humphstone. He's nothing but a foreflusher. At closing down the factory, Judge, I wasn't interested in that job anyway. I have another idea now. That's the trouble with you, Throckmorton. You never stick to anything. Dagnabbit, I don't believe you know how to concentrate. Leroy! Concentrate.  I could go out now if you and the judge want to talk. You get right back to that piano. We'll go into my study.  Sit down, Judge. Have a cigar? Not so soon after breakfast, thank you. Good. You know, Horace, the more I think of it, the more I miss my old job at the waterworks. That wasn't a bad job. It's gone now. Water over the dam. Mayor Tawilagur should be indicted, appointing his own cousin as water commissioner. Let's not judge him hastily, Gildy. McCarthy may be a very good man. Not if he's a relative of the mayor. Any relation of Tawilagur's would be an incompetent in public office. Point is, Gildy, that he's in public office in your name. Yeah. Oh, come in. Here's the mail. Just came in, Mr. Gildy. Quite a lot of it, but nothing very good. Oh, the mail. Thank you, Bertie. You're welcome. Now, Gildy, we've got to look this job situation in the face. Pardon me, Horace, while I look this mail in the face. Don't go on it, Gildy. There you go again. Can't you keep your mind on anything? Uh-oh. Here's a note from Nelson Humpstone, John. Listen to this. Dear Gildersleeve, I'm flying back to the Home Office of International Bolton Screw for a couple of days on very short notice, and it looks like they're planning to convert to civilian production instead of closing down here. So don't make any commitments till you hear from me. I'll call you from Detroit as soon as I can. Nuff said, Nelson Humpstone. Well, I'll guitar. Fine fellow, that Humpstone. Nuff said. Cute. Well, Gildy, I must say that sounds very promising, very hopeful.  What did I tell you? He isn't talking about any two for a nickel proposition. He might want an assistant manager or a sort of an associate manager. Maybe you'll want me to come in there to the Home Office, talk things over with the big shots. I don't know about that. I'll call you from Detroit. I ought to be ready to leave in a minute's notice. I wonder if I could get a plane priority. I think you're working a little fast, Gildy. That's the way to get things done, Judge. I suppose Humpy could take care of my hotel reservations. Oh, for goodness sake, you're talking just like a... Yeah, come in. What is it, Gildy? Mr. Gilsey, the water stopped running and all the faucets in the house, nothing comes out. What? The water's off? I'll bet the pumps busted, yeah, and the snifter valve. It must be off all over town. By George, I've been waiting for this moment. What's his name, now? Oh, now, Gildy, have a heart. His name's McCarthy. Let me look at that telephone. I'll pin his ears back. I'll blast him. No. Now, I know something better, Judge. I'll call him up at his house at 3 o'clock in the morning. Great Gildy slave will be with us again in just a few seconds. In nourishing meals at home and at lunches at work, you busy home front soldiers need the best of energy foods. And luckily, some of America's best energy foods cost very little. Economical Parquet Margarine, the delicious craft quality spread for bread, is a shining example of a food high in energy value, yet extremely low in money cost, and low in ration point cost, too. Craft makes Parquet Margarine, and of course, craft uses only top quality, highly refined vegetable oils. That explains why Parquet is one of the best energy foods you can serve. What's more, craft fortifies Parquet Margarine so that every pound contains 9,000 units of vitamin A. So for important food energy, for important vitamin A, and equally important for a fresh, delicate flavor that's sure to satisfy, serve Parquet. P-A-R-K-A-Y. Parquet Margarine. Tomorrow by Parquet. It's made by craft. Now let's get back to our story. Only a few minutes have passed, but Gildersley's household is as busy as a beehive. Anticipating an urgent call from Detroit, he's stationed birdie near the phone to grab it, and he's assigned Marjorie to run upstairs and pack an overnight bag for him in case he has to leave town on short notice. The great man himself is in the living room, pacing up and down the rug, and turning over in his mind such important matters as plane priorities and what salary he should demand. And through it all, little Leroy, like the young Mozart, plugs doggedly away at his music. Leroy, read the notes, read the notes. I am. You are not. Well, you can see for yourself what says play. Don't tell me what it says, play it. Oh, Lord. Yes, Marjorie? How long will you be gone? How do I know? I haven't heard from Humpstone yet. I'm still waiting for the call. Well, how many shirts do you want me to pack? And how many what? How many shirts will you need? Well, that depends on how long I'll be gone. That's what I say. How long will you be gone? I told you, I don't know. Well, how many shirts do you want me to pack? Don't ask Fooley's questions. Just pack some shirts, that's all. E, gods, let's keep our heads around here. Oh, there's his phone, Bertie. Grab it. I got it. You'll please, President. Let me have it, Bertie. Yes, ma'am, he is. Just a second. Leroy, stop pounding that piano. How can I hear? Hello. Thought Martin P. Gilles, speaking. Eh? It was... What? Water. I'm not the water commissioner lady. Don't bother me with it. The idea of calling me about it, doesn't she read the newspapers? Hey, um, can I stop now?  I have. I said master, not massacre. What's that? Razor? Oh, yes. Bertie, remind me to get some razor blades before I leave with you. I'm all out. I will if I can remember. Leroy, maybe you better remind me. What's that? Remind Bertie, Leroy, to remind me to get some razor blades before I go. Come back here, young... Yes, I've got it, Bertie. Hold it, Leroy. Thought Martin P. Gilles. Yes, I'm the water commissioner. I mean, no, I'm not. What is this? Why are people calling me? I don't care if their line is busy. Don't call me about it. It's no business of mine. This is getting to be a darn nuisance here. I'm waiting for an important call. Oh! Yes? Make a move. Just study the notes for a little while, Leroy. Yeah, study them quietly and don't make any noise. Hello? Yes, this is Commissioner Gilles' residence. If it's about the water, Bertie, tell him I'm not at home. And I'm not the commissioner. Mr. Gilles' residence, if it's about the water, he ain't commissioner and he ain't at home. Wait a minute, Bertie. That wasn't a long distance, was it? No, so that was Ms. Pettibone. Well, what do I care? Any more of these calls come, Bertie.  Yes, sir. Tell him I left home two weeks ago and I haven't been seen since. Yes, sir. Tell him for all you know, Bertie, I'm dead. I'll do that. Goodbye, George. This is too much. Let me handle it, Bertie. Hello? Now listen, bud. I've got nothing to do with the water department. I don't care. If you don't like the way things are being run, call up the commissioner. Call up the mayor. Call up Eisenhower, but don't bother me. Hello? No? Get off the line. Will you, brother? I want to speak to the operator. Operator. This is Rockmoreton P. Gilles' leave speaking. Never mind my number. I want to make a complaint. I'm expecting a very important call. I'm being flooded here with calls for the water department, with which I no longer have any connection. I want you to... Listen, sister, you don't have to tell me there's a war on. I want something done about it and right away.  Oh, you can't, eh? Oh, you can't. Well, I'll do something about it and right now, confound him. Mr. Gilles' leave you busted. You don't lie to a buster. There. Come on, I'm ready for him. I'll do it again. They can fire me out of the water department. They can put an incompetent in my place. But I'll be go to Blazers if I'll take his phone calls. Let him ring me now. Go ahead and ring. But, Uncle Mort, what about Mr. Humstone? If he tries to call you now... Humstone? Why didn't somebody stop me? Why did you deliberately stand there, Marjorie? Oh, my goodness, I've got to do something. Humstone might be trying to call me right now, all the way from Detroit. I'll run over to Mrs. Ransoms and phone the call company. I mean, call the temperature. Goodness, oh, my goodness. It's always Christmas. Leela. Oh, it's you, Stroff. Oh, no gracious. Everything's happening at once here. The phone's ringing. Now, sit down and make yourself at home all tomorrow. I was just going to ask you if I could use it. Oh, me? Leela, I'm expecting a telephone call. It's very important if you could hurry it up. I know. Poochy. Poochy. Come on, come on, Leela. Leela, my phone call. It's urgent. For goodness' sake. This could go on for years, Leela. Excuse me. Yeah, who is it? Wouldn't you like to know? Oh, for the love of Mike. Silly. Of course I'm alone. Look, no, no, no. Leela, excuse me, but I got to interrupt for a minute. Excuse me again, just a second. Couldn't you ask him to call back later or something? But I've only just met him, Throckmall.  But my call is important. Well, I suppose you think this isn't important. All right, wait a minute. Do me a favor then. Get through, if you ever do, Leela. Call the phone company and tell them my phone is out of order. Very well. Wait. When you've done that, call the long-distance operator and tell her I'm expecting a very important call from out of town. Yes. Tell her I'll be at PB's drug store, Leela. Tell her to switch the call to me there. That's a good girl. Oh, it's Throckmall and Wade. Yeah? Who are you expecting a call from? Wouldn't you like to know? Hello? Corruption. La Plama just arrived. Oh! Hello, PB. You mind if I use your telephone? Not at all. That's my green business for him. Thank you. You'll find a phone right in the phone booth there. I don't need to use it this very minute. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting for a long-distance call from Detroit. Detroit? Yeah, I had him transferred here. Marvelous invention in the telephone. Marvelous. Yes, it is. Just to think you can step into that little booth there and people hundreds of miles away can hear what you say. Marvelous. Yes, it is. There's just one thing wrong with it, though, I've noticed. Oh, what's that? Well, most people have nothing to say. Now, you take Mrs. PB. Yeah? Mrs. PB is a fine woman. I admire her and I respect her. But when she gets on the phone there with some of her friends, I tell you, I have to go out and walk around the block. I know what you mean, PB. I get the same thing at home. Marjorie now. She's a pretty sensible girl as girls go. Yeah, she is. But every afternoon she's on the phone for hours with Francie. And there's more slush, more silly guff. All about some kid around town named Van Johnson. Do you ever see him around? No, I don't think I have. Neither have I. But to hear them talk, he must be some pumpkins.  Oh, telephone. That might be for me. Do you want to take it, Mr. Gilligan? No, no, no. You take it, PB. See who it's for. I don't trust that phone booth. It's too narrow. Standard phone booth. I know, but I got stuck in there once. I'm not taking any unnecessary chances. All right. I hear you. Can't you see I'm coming? PB's pharmacy. Well, yes, Leroy. He is. Yeah, just hold the wire. Leroy? Where's he phoning from? Didn't say. Here you are, Mr. Gilligan. Can you make it? If you get out of my way, I might. Oh, sorry.  Couldn't you try to lean into it, Mr. Gilligan? Couldn't they have made it big enough in the first place? Standard phone booth. Standard. Hold on, Leroy. I'm coming. Give me a shove, PB. Who's fixed the telephone? You did. Great. I mean, don't ever do that again, Leroy. You might get a shock. Bye, George. How'd you do it? Don't tell me now. I'll be right home, Leroy. I'll be right home. But you know, PB, Leroy fixed the telephone. Was there something wrong with it? Was there something wrong with it? But he just hitched a couple of wires together or something. I don't know. By George, modern kids are wonderful. Maybe I'd better call the phone company and tell them to switch the call back there. You got a nickel, Mr. Gilligan? I don't know. I'm wedged in so tight here, I can't get my hand in my pocket, PB. Yeah, let me put the nickel in for you. Yes, thanks, PB. Dial the operator for me, will you? No, I can't reach that either. Thanks. Hello, operator? I want to report a telephone out of order. I don't know. I'd cause it. It just went dead. I mean, it went dead, but now it's all right again. So if you've sent anybody to fix it, don't bother. Marvelous invention and telephone. Operator, operator, wait a minute. I'm expecting a call here long distance. I'd like to have it transferred. Gilderslave, Crockmorton P. Gilderslave. The number here? What's the number here, PB? It's right on the dial there. I know, but I can't get far enough away to see it. Summerfield 3, 4-2, 6-0. Oh, yeah, Summerfield 3, 4-2, 6-0, yeah, that's right. That's where I am now, operator. But my home phone number, Summerfield 3, 2-3, 7-1. That's the one that was out of order, so I called you from another number. I mean, a friend did to ask you to switch the call when it comes.  Huh? I don't either, but... I want it here now, and I want it at home. Yeah, I just told you, Summerfield 3, 2-3, 7-1. Marvelous invention. No, no, no, operator, it's not out of order. Listen, operator, it's perfectly clear if you just listen. My phone was out of order, so I went, oh, let it go, I'll be home before you get it straightened out. Just put the call through when it comes. Yes, I better be going. I'll find a PB, I'm stuck. Get me out of here, PB, get me out. Easy, got it. I've got to get home, PB, that call, I may be missing it. Get me out of here. No need to get panicky, Mr. Gillespie. We've been through all this before. Just display. Huh? Let your breath out. Let it out, I haven't taken a breath since I got in here. Evidently, you've put on a little weight. No, I haven't put on any weight. Well, it's been redistributed. Stop talking, will you, PB? Do something. You got me in here. No, no, I wouldn't say that. Well, it's your fault anyway for having this thing around. Standard phone booth, Mr. Gillespie. Stop saying that, it's a booby trap. Well, look as if we caught one.  Just a minute, please. That's the call I was expecting. Well, where is he? Well, he said he was coming right home. Hold the wire, please. What is it, Ms. Marjorie? Birdie, it's a call for Uncle Morton. I don't know what to tell him. Run to the window, Leroy and Safie's coming. Yeah, give me that, Ms. Marjorie. I know what to tell him. What's Birdie? Your uncle told me what to tell him. Hello? Birdie, that's a call I've been waiting all day for. Well, oh. Leroy, give me that telephone. Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Gillespie. Never mind it. Operator. Operator. Operator. That's the kind of service you get. Operator. When you want them, you can get them. When you don't want them, they call you up. Operator. Operator, I pay good money every month for this. The darn thing? Uncle Morton. I won't have it in the house. Not again. This time I mean it. Confound us. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to say just a few words on behalf of an organization to which all of us owe our lives, our freedom and our hope of security, the United States Navy. On October 27th, each year, we celebrate Navy Day. This year, Navy Day will mean almost more than it ever has before because our Navy is now the strongest naval power on this earth. The number of warships in the fleet has been almost triple since 1939, and 30,000 naval planes are scheduled for delivery this year. 30,000 planes. I hope the Japs are listening. But though the Navy has done a tremendous job in this war and has the men and materiel to finish it, we mustn't think it's going to be easy. Navy officials estimated will take at least a year and a half or two years to knock out the Japanese after the war in Europe is over. The Japanese are tough, ladies and gentlemen. They can still increase their production, and their army is not yet up to full strength. So it's up to us here on the home front to stand behind the Navy in the big job that's still ahead, and these are the ways we can help. First, stay on the job in Navy yards and factories. Second, we can maintain our Navy's high morale by writing to the men. Let them know we appreciate what they've done and are doing. But let's not write as if we expected the war to be over in a few months. Third, the Navy needs waves and nurses. Women between the ages of 20 and 36 can release naval men for active duty. Just go to the nearest Navy recruiting office, or if you're a registered nurse between 21 and 40, you can be commissioned as an incident. For information on this, write to the Surgeon General at the Navy Department in Washington. The Navy needs our help, ladies and gentlemen. Navy Day is next October, next Friday, October the 27th. But we ought to make every day Navy Day till the war is won. If we stop and think how much we owe the Navy, I know we'll all be glad to do whatever we can. Good night.


Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft. Bill Gates built the biggest company in the world, Microsoft. And he made a lot of money for himself. 70 billion dollars. How do you make 70 billion dollars? Anybody know? How do you make 70 billion dollars? Well, you create, how much you value? The only way to make 70 billion dollars for yourself is to create trillions of dollars of value out there. Bill Gates changed the world. Hundreds of millions of people all over this planet are better off because of Microsoft. That's why he could get 70 billion. But the only way to make a billion is to sell your product to hundreds of millions of people. Why would they buy your product? Because it's going to make their life better. We've established that, right? So the only way to become a billion is to make the world a better place. To improve the lives of hundreds of millions of billions of people. So Bill Gates did that. So he should be like the greatest humanitarian in all of history. He made the world a better place with billions of people when he was at Microsoft. I mean, he are more people than Mother Teresa. Much more people than Mother Teresa. Not on the same scale. Yet, is he more? Is he noble? Is he good and virtuous? We'll get him giving us money every week. We'll get to that phenomenon. I'm just talking about making the money. Is he noble and good? Are we going to make him a saint? Because he helped make the world a better place. Why won't we make him a saint? Because he dared to make 70 billion dollars in the process. If you help yourself by helping other people, it doesn't count. I mean, you guys don't remember, but I remember the 90's when people looked at Bill Gates with, you know, they had my of him as an entrepreneur. But morally, they thought he was a bad guy. Because he was making so much money. When did Bill Gates become a good guy?  And he started giving it all away. Giving money, that's cool. That's normal. That's good. Now you're a good guy. He's not changing the world much. He's not helping out many people. Now we're near as many people as he did with Microsoft. But now he's a good guy because at least he's not making anything for himself. God forbid you do that. Now he's not a saint. We're still not building statues for him. Right? Because what is required to become saint? You have to be poor. But it's not just about money being a saint. What else is a saint good about? Sacrificing. Suffering. If you have got a museum, I don't care. I don't know what kind of museum you have. She'll probably go find you out. If you ever be to Europe and you go to Christian museums with a lot of Christian paintings and they have paintings of saints, you ever seen a saint in a painting with a big smile on their face having a good time? No. Because the whole point of being a saint is to suffer. The whole point of being a saint is if you suffered helping other people or fighting for God or helping something. But not thinking of yourself, not enjoying life, not being happy. That contradicts morality. So the point is this. We live with a moral code. All of us live with this moral code. I think Christianity is being unbelievably successful in exporting this moral code to every corner of the world. We live with a moral code that basically says that self-interest is evil and bad and what's good is giving, sacrificing, being self-less.
