Does anybody have any idea what this talk is about or how important it is?  I'm gonna just go ahead and hand it over to far to Blow your minds Thank you folks. I don't know about any mind-blowing, but hopefully I will freak a few people out I've lost some business. So hopefully I'll get some business back Yeah, better. Yes. Okay, I can hear myself So, okay, I guess all of these are kind of I'm obligated to tell you who I am and what I do I Hack stuff for IO active. I Don't really know how to categorize what I do I just kind of find weird stuff play with it try to find where the relevance is in some piece of what we do for business I'm Not really good at sort of being the professional security guy, but as it says, I know how the pixies flow I tend to be pretty good at Looking at the security interface the physical security interface for embedded systems when it comes to how electricity electrons Noise RF and stuff like that get used And most importantly, I'm not interested in hacking one thing If I'm gonna hack some stuff, I want to hack all the things So this means I don't want to just find a buffer overflow in something I want to find an unpatchable unfixable buffer overflow that no one can do anything about and if I can write my name on it Anyway also as it says I'm a local or an amateur lockpicker. I'm not very good I've tried cracking safes and things like that. I can't really crack safes the old-fashioned like listening with the stethoscope kind of way But I thought this would be a really fun way to kind of put my stamp on lockpicking So without getting sort of too into the weeds We're going to talk about some of the previous high-security lock designs and really how similar they are and Why the attack that I've been working on is kind of a systemic flaw in pretty much every lock designed by Kaba And make system many other designs We're gonna talk about how the locks kind of evolved from sort of point-to-point and sort of look at the security boundary as far as electrons Go I'm gonna have some schematics up here. They're not really schematics. They may look like schematics. They're block diagrams They're really just to kind of talk about where that security boundary is between locks And then of course I'm gonna whine about secure disclosure a bit because everybody's whining at me about it So for these locks that the most important things to know are kind of kind of these bullet points We're trying to make an electronic lock a thing That's exactly like the old lock that replaces the old one exactly the mechanical brass made machine thing But we want to replace it with electrons and pixies because those are more secure. They have secure in them So all the requirements we have here they need to be long-lived. We don't want any batteries in them But now that we're making them electronic. We want tiered permission schemes multiple users time windows all kinds of interesting things like that And because of all of these things these locks are going to be more secure. We're sure of it There's no real reason why we've just made them electronic So this is your basic lock design If you're gonna put something together with an Arduino, this is probably what you'd do You'd probably use an internal e-prom but whatever You have an external e-prom you have some place to store the personality of the lock the actual individual stuff You have a microcontroller that's got to do the interfacing with the real world If I want to be long-lived, I've got to have something power me externally and you kind of see this little dotted line I'll use that in all my schematics to kind of show the privilege boundary of the lock So anything that's on the right-hand side of that dotted line is going to be something that is available to an attacker Everything on the other side is theoretically inside the physically secured safe Okay, so we've added some security to our design We're basically doing the same thing that they did in smart cards where we're trying to use the power line as our communication line So we'll just we'll power ourselves off of that internal IO line Store that in a capacitor put a diode in there so you can't glitch me out and done Let's call it over and that's what cyberlocked it I'm just gonna beat cyberlock over the head really quickly because I think it's interesting because Every single one of their door indoor cylinders were beatable with bullshit crypto When I did the analysis actually let me go back to that real quick you can actually see I love this little quote right here I just kind of threw this in the original advisory you could probably extract the private key through power analysis But I don't really think it's worth the effort This is the actual power trace that's in the report and you can actually see between the a1 and a2 markers There's kind of a little bit of a wiggle at the top of that line and that's actually the microcontroller transferring its internal e-prom contents into the microcontroller as the lock gets powered up externally and That's pretty much our target for For at least this presentation So, you know, we've seen basic pluses and minuses don't need batteries have an auto trail have all those special security things But of course we started with bullshit crypto We started with making it reliant on external power sources and the You know basically a tacker provided power and of course we made sure that they couldn't be firmware updated or anything So once they're in the door cylinders every single door cylinders got to be replaced So this is this is kind of a little bit of a quick tangent I'm not gonna beat on this too much As a result of the cyber lock work. I got one of my I want to say first, but just most recent dmca cut your shit out letters and I just I find it really annoying that working in electronic locks that this is the response that we get now when sort of You know 200 years ago the idea of perfect security and the likelihood that a lock was going to be broken At least was somewhat accepted people were looking to try to figure out where the reality of that lock security is But now what sort of the inherent encroachment of software security in this area? We're starting to see the same sort of strategies from software security soothe them threaten them claim. It's not a problem I'm okay with claim. It's not a problem, but soothe them threaten them Claim that they've they've violated some sort of code of ethics by not going to the government first Which we did You know that kind of stuff is really starting to get annoying. That's my quick tangent on that We'll put a pin in that and get back to that There's another lock design that you start saying that's a pretty common one.  You're gonna introduce timing flaws You're gonna introduce some interesting power analysis and I think both these guys did guys did some some really good job If plur is out there. I owe him a beer somewhere if Dave is out there. I'd probably owe him a beer Whatever Australians drink I Know it's terrible But this lock design is pretty obvious right we have the battery on the outside We know that we can measure current flow from the battery if you're gonna steal pixies from the batter Of course, I can measure current flow from you. You've also given me a ground of course I can reference myself to your internal circuit and You know we've kind of learned that these kind of designs are cheap They're they're really easy to crank out there. You don't have to have software experts You just throw it together really quick But it's still reliant on external power and then we've introduced these at least two side channels in this new design I don't believe either of these lock designs. I've really done anything to update that So okay, what what are we doing with these kinds of locks in other places? And this is where I get to my other quick tangent of things that I really enjoy working on atm It turns out that ATMs also use combination safes and Here's another guy. I owe a beer to I really love this video if you want to go look it up online. It's the greatest thing ever He basically spends a full minute talking about how in the old days Attackers would try to go through the safe door to steal the money makes sense go the straight through just to get that money But then goes on to explain how malware seems like a much more reasonable way to steal money these days I kind of figured what why not? Let's look at that lock This thing is everywhere and I did some work for a customer and it turned out Their ATM lab had every single ATM had one of these locks on it didn't know how ubiquitous they were until I started looking So it turns out this lock design is kind of full we have You can't really tell the difference here between a gen one and a gen two But we have basically two different versions of this end con and we have an audit con and we've got all this banking stuff These little little tiny eye button devices that look at it just looks like security. It looks superficial You got to use your eye button everything to get it. It's it's two-part authentication And this is more or less what you're looking at schematic wise. It's it's actually pretty interesting Just to kind of go over really quick and dirty what the interesting bits are We've got a self-generating power. So there's no power now external to the safe They're just bringing power in by generating it with this little knob. It's my terrible drawing there The knob generates power internally when the lock has enough power It'll boot up and happily display things on the LCD and you can input the code and and do things with it But I can't directly measure the current flow here right the batteries on the inside How do I how do I even look at this? It turns out if you take the same approach So here's the the audit con not too different If you take the same approach and look at both of these You know power and ground lines you more or less see a stable voltage But if you AC bias that signal and take a look at the very tiny wiggles at the very top of that signal and Amplify the fuck out of them You end up getting that same side channel back even though you're not drawing power from these insides It's it turns out that having power drawn from the outside of the safe Is enough to kind of make that current flow variation work out Just skipping over those real quick These are kind of the insides of the safe just so you can kind of get an idea of mechanically what they are There's nothing too interesting going on with them. Here's the s2000 will do the proof of concept on The audit con is very similar the generation to you can basically see they're almost clones except for some new features have been added But you're looking at an 8051 microcontroller in the case of the audit con in the s2000 They don't even have the room for crypto in these things The generation 2 is an MSP 430 and we'll we'll talk about that a little bit But digging through the patents for these locks you can kind of see they didn't really have an idea of what security really meant When you're trying to deal with these internal e-proms they basically talk about trying to mix and hide bits You could probably extract all of the information necessary for doing something like the banking modes by looking through the patents But ultimately you're dealing with ending oring Exclusive oring nothing too fancy to generate a combination from the internal authentication data This is basically what you're looking at internal. So in this case, we're talking about the s2000 lock We're getting a little bit into the actual attack that I'm going to show a proof of concept for and this is fairly consistent along a lot of the locks You have the parts of the e-prom that the lock would read as it's trying to read its identity You can see the second hex line the 0x200 address starts with value 2 In the first case. So that's a shelving mode lock and the other one below it is 05. That's a bank mode lock But basically these three authentication fields are all that make it up It doesn't everybody sort of focuses on the fact that I'm working on the simplest version of the lock configuration, but Regardless of the lock configuration It still has to read the same e-prom contents and the same e-prom contents provide everything necessary for generating combination regardless of the mode It might just be that as you can see here an i button is required to identify itself to the lock You would need to figure out what that i button number is which is also stored in the external e-prom And you'd have to emulate it with Arduino library It's pretty straightforward But as far as getting the power out, okay, or is getting the the actual data out This is pretty much what we're looking at. This is the actual side channel or at least one version of the side channel that we're looking at Along with the actual data that it represents When we first looked at the lock I thought I had this thing beep because we're looking at the soft i2c section You just look at the first few bytes of that transfer In this particular side channel because it's i2c soft i2c The edges between the clock and the data line are not perfectly aligned So the timing signature between them is slightly offset and then your data looks as though it's been manchester coded if you see three blips You go transfers from a zero to one if you see another three blips cut transfers from a one to a zero And uh you dig a little bit further and it turns out I can't do that um that only works for the microcontroller talking to the e-prom If the e-prom's talking back those edges are simultaneous But after spending a little bit of time filtering and sort of poking at it It turns out that the ones are sort of preferentially leaked on those high sharp edges All right You can you can sort of see in both of these as the goes from a one to a zero and a zero to one on that clock edge There's these high frequency spikes that sort of happen those high frequency spikes like to leak out there They're very high frequency. They've got lots of harmonics. There's a frequency they can leak out on they will And that's how I wrote the first proof of concept in fact Um, but because I had no faith in that actually working on stage here. Uh, I rewrote the proof of concept Uh, to work against sort of the lower frequency data set of the side channel Uh, so in this case, uh, you can actually line the bits of what the actual this is actually the clock track not the data track Um, but then you have the powered trace aligned perfectly with that clock track. Can anyone tell me which ones are ones? Right, thanks. Can you pick that out by hand? Um, so I think that's basically where I'll get to my proof of concept real quick Uh, just to prove that I can actually do that automatically But I don't think anybody should really focus on the idea that I can do it with an automated script since this is basically what it looks like if you spent the time to align the Traces you can extract that signal by hand So let's let's see if we can pull this off by hand first You're not gonna play So just so you can see, uh, this is my S2000 here I don't really have anything going on except, uh, oscilloscope probe jammed in the data port Uh, the actual I button port If everything goes well, uh, I'm gonna hit, uh, uh, single just to get a single trace Uh, I may have to boot the scope, uh, boot the lock a couple of times, but we'll just get a quick power trace That one kind of looks okay. I'm not sure that one will decode, but let's find out if that one will decode Come on, work with me here Gestures That's, uh, of course this is not going to go quickly Is there LF pock? Download from the scope real quick If not, I will just switch to a pre-captured Yay, oscilloscope downloads Uh, so once this downloads, we'll just, uh, run it through the low frequency pock script It already knows what the alignment, uh, for each of the edges of the square wave should be Uh, and ultimately what the, this is the actual proof of concept code right here Uh, so what this guy is actually doing is Once we've gone in to find where the byte offsets are from the trigger point We synchronize using the high frequency data from the the actual lock itself Sorry Oh, you're not even seeing the The download shoot Let me uh, so this is the actual proof of concept code. I apologize. Didn't know you couldn't see that there I'm bad at this Uh, so these are the actual byte offsets. Um, we're using the high frequency data in the signal to actually create an alignment Uh, so we just filter for everything above 100 megahertz We get some nice sharp spikes use those sharp spikes to create our zero alignment From that zero alignment, we calculate our byte offsets from each byte offset We have a clock edge and ultimately what we're calculating is the difference in power consumption between the positive going clock edge And the negative going clock edge if that rises above a certain threshold then that's that was a one that got transferred Um This looks really dirty. So we'll give that a try You know what? I'm just gonna do that one Let's just do the capture I did earlier so that I don't have to Have a hard attack anymore Unfortunately, it looks like my signal was clipped out of the top a little bit and clipped out of the bottom You might just have to do a recapture.  The output is actually This guy right here can actually see so this is the expected data that we would see internally With this being the lock mode and then these three bytes actually being the shelving mode combination And you can see we have a lock that is in fact in shelving mode With combination 1 1 2 2 3 3 and for whatever reason it's in hex. I don't I don't actually know why We're also going to miss a few bits here. Let's see if I can actually get this. Yeah, we missed a bit there You kind of see there's a little bit of a spike of noise in our waveform Um, but you can pretty much always see when you lose this bit in the waveform. Uh, there's nothing too insane about Sort of manually parsing into the problem is creating a simple rule for how to threshold that bit out It's not exactly easy. Um, so don't concentrate too much on the fact of creating an automated script for this kind of thing Uh, so to maybe get back to the slide deck a little bit The uh, once once the lock is actually booted and you have these three authentication fields All your actual side channel tag has to do is extract what those three fields are and from that point you can calculate For any of the generation one locks what the opening and closing closing codes for those saves should be So as far as i'm concerned, any sencon generation one saves that are actually in deployment are basically dead They're they're not safe the Let's do this a little bit story wise when we reported this vulnerability to kaba Um, there was a few things that happened first. We found out that we reported them to the wrong kaba You'll laugh, but this is going to be a really funny detail Uh, that guy kaba was like no great. You did some great work. We really appreciate it I'll pass this off to the other team that actually works on these locks Um, said we only work we only make government locks Um, we make the x09 series. Uh, so I googled the x09 series and actually found some really interesting stuff Um Uh, the x09 series actually looks like it has a similar design to these sencon locks It's made almost identically same the same design pattern Uh, we told them this uh, maybe your locks might also be affected by this design pattern issue And he said you don't have the authority to test these locks If you are doing any research on an x10 the feds will be after you and whoever sold it to you Okay Uh, we then went off and notified our banking customers Uh, and they said immediately well, what about generation two? Uh, there's a generation two Don't know anything about it. I guess I'm gonna have to go buy some Uh, so at the same time I found out about generation two and I found out about the audit con which is used in pharmaceuticals Uh, weapons storage anything you might want to have sort of an audit trail for the number of people Maybe a multiple people who are allowed to access that Uh, the audit con just falls to this vulnerability. There's a master code The master code is directly read from the eprom so there's no banking mode Or any dicking around with any sort of i-buttons or anything You can just put in the master code once you've extracted that and that guy will open Uh, generation two you can actually see the power trace.  That's easy. It's loud. It makes lots of noise Um, but when I spent a little bit of time with it It turns out that it actually does seem to try to use encryption internally to prevent you from pulling off this attack So either they knew that this was a possibility or they were just suspicious that it was a possibility Um, and I'm gonna put a pin that oh, you know what let's get to that And now while I can't totally tell you about what happened with the gen two while I was getting my shit together for this presentation Uh, I decided to go and look back through the gen two and rather than saying that Yeah, it might still be vulnerable to other side channel attacks power analysis or something like that But at that point if I've got to do multiple traces and I got to average traces and stuff This is probably sufficiently secure for what it is Um, but I'm putting it together. I decided to see what would happen if I switched You know what? I'm not going to say that. I decided to see what would happen if I did a little bit more poking at the locks Um, and in poking at the locks I discovered, um That the side channel does open them up to uh, uh, Undocumented flaws And if you can trigger some of these undocumented flaws like the one that I have on the screen You look as much as you want in the sencom documentation for the generation two. You won't find that Um, the locks will happily reset themselves to factory condition Uh, which means they have a combination of 50, 25, 50 and that's just pretty much that Uh, so while the gen two So while the gen two does defend itself again against the sort of base side channel attack um That the the uh, the generation one went down to the generation two may in fact be more vulnerable in sort of differing Ways it's it's kind of fascinating. Um, but you are probably for the moment somewhat safer with it I don't know what to tell you it So we're done.  Let's get to DEF CON. You guys would be happy with an ATM opening vulnerability, right? Like that'd be good enough Um, but we kind of left this hanging thread of the DOD locks Uh, so I got myself I got myself, uh, an X07 first because they're the oldest and cheapest and You know, it's a it's a hard bit of a lock. Um, We'll just we covered this. It's a hard bit of a lock. Um, and this is going to be a fun video in a second Uh It actually denies me a lot of the electrical grounding and electrical signaling that the other locks sort of present because they have the keypads And things on the outside somebody has really sort of threat modeled The xo series of locks and not only designed to be physically secure But also try to make them somewhat electronically secure and you can actually we'll look at some images But they've kind of switched back and forth over the years on different design aspects of them Where the generator sits on the inside or the outside of the lock External where the attacker can get it or inside where it's completely rf shielded. Um But before I talk about the xo series a lot of you guys don't know what the xo series is And because I am constantly shitting on people who fud I'm not gonna fud I'm just gonna play this video which hopefully you guys can hear the audio from All right Kaba Moss is proud to announce the newly designed x10 the secure tradition continues With nearly one million locks sold the kaba moss xo series is the choice for securing the us government's most sensitive materials In the pentagon alone. There are several thousand xo series locks installed The department of defense central intelligence agency national security agency and air force one all rely upon the kaba moss xo series To guard its most sensitive information By the way, this includes the launch codes for the nuclear missiles on us submarines So the government was not pleased Uh, this is probably one of the most passive aggressive I really hope you could read the text to this a little bit. What are the most passive aggressive sort of semi threatening please stop your research Letters that I've gotten Under under authority of the president You do not have the authority to test these locks Oh, by the way, if you find anything you should you should is unacceptable for you to just tell the vendor you have to tell us Uh, and then I love the cc list. The only thing that ruins this letter for me is it says dear mr. Cerudo Okay, so so architecturally this is what we're looking at with the uh, oh, yeah, this is the xo seven, right? So, uh, we only have the knob that breaches through the actual safe body and all we have is the lcd connector on the outside Uh, this lcd connector, you know, it's uh, if you've ever driven, uh An actual lcd these signals are not anything that you consider friendly. There's no power. There's no ground. It's just sort of an ac signal Um, they don't bring any ground outside the safe that I can even measure these signals really against Um, also the locks are completely potted Because they don't want you getting inside by the way you can remove this potting. We'll look at that a little bit also But the uh further xo has kind of shifted the security boundary a little bit They decided let's put the generator on the outside of the lock Still I don't have ground that seemed to be a some like some consideration that they had not providing me that ground outside of the lock So I I really just had the ac signal from the generator knob and the ac signal from the actual lcd signal itself This is by the way too depotted the xo eight the xo nine depotted and sort of wired up for testing Um And yes, uh, both of these are also 8051 microcontrollers. So no room for crypto just nothing they can do in here Also the internal eprom we've confirmed are just clear text. Uh, so just to keep that in mind for similarity of attacks I hear a few people recognizing things. Um, so So if you actually look at these waveforms, you can kind of see why it's so hard to really uh Like these are directly from the datasheet for the actual lcd driver chip that's inside these locks. Um I'm gonna go back there. Uh, you can kind of see at any particular time any lcd segment may have Full vcc negative vcc half vcc half negative vcc your ground anywhere in there and I'm trying to read this Millivolt side channel out of there. Um, and more or less after I had the xo seven I kind of dropped it. I just left it alone for a while and you have one of those shower thoughts moments that uh medis face Perfectly represents here Uh, how to recover the side channel from that lock and you just separate the the ones from the zeros and to separate the positive signals from the negative signals and we have a thing for that. It's a bridge rectifier But normally we only use you know two Two poles of a bridge rectifier in your normal ac circuit. Turns out you can just make a bridge rectifier with 20 of them So teeing off the lcd itself and correct here You can actually just set up a whole bunch of shot key diets T the lcd out so the lcd will still continue functioning as normal But now I have a ground to reference the signal the vcc signal from the lcd itself against and now I can read that internal vcc signal um So let's see what we can find So this top trace is the actual full vcc signal That you get off of the dial when twisting it keep a knob. I've got to keep in mind I've got to keep the knob together and everything because you have to rotate that knob to power the lock So the beginning spikes you see here if you can see my mouse Um This is the actual knob rotation time right here. And that's why you have these high voltage High-ish voltage spikes And then suddenly right here is when the lock begins to get powered And you could see it sort of slowly drawing from that internal voltage pool that it's got And if we sort of zoom right in on this little spot right here and take this little savey logic trace right here All right, that's ruin of my surprise there. We can actually see that We see these little high-frequency spikes of bullshit garbage that perfectly line up with the actual data transfers internally to the lock Um, and again, we know that the locks internal uprom contents are not encrypted If we bandpass that signal a little bit more and try to look a little bit closer We can actually see the signal that we actually get is an inverted version of the actual data itself Just no more signal processing necessary So I don't think you need to write and it might even be hard to write a perfect exploit for this to just sort of threshold these values out But you can sort of see these two waveforms are inverted versions of each other And that effectively allows me to extract the internal combination of the x o seven or the x o eight and the x o nine One of the things preventing you from doing this easily and stealing the nuclear codes Is that the x o the x o eight the x o nine and the x 10 have some physical security aspects that make this somewhat difficult You would have to remove if you kind of see in this image here I have to remove the front dial to actually get to the lock internals to do that to do that you would have to defeat Have to defeat this snappering And that snappering is intended not to come out once it is firmly in place But it turns out it's only that entire dial is really only kept on by a set screw So if you drill through the front of the actual dial and put a screw in through there to thread that little hole You can push the screw and impact the entire knob off of the The dial that goes through that's not a non-destructive attack. You've just drilled a knob to do this But it's you know, it's definitely a problem in the lock design If you happen to bring a replacement knob it would you know not leave any evidence But i'm but i'm not going to claim that it's a non-destructive attack Um Yeah, so in slides that i had to add since uh bullshit reuters articles came out We called caba back and of course we told them that hey, so that lock you told me not to play with I uh i played with it totally vulnerable Uh and he was very snippy.     Anyway, um so So we we also decided that um Since it would potentially be a crime for me to purchase the x10 lock And they seem to warn me against buying it even though they agreed that I should probably look at it Um, we kind of went our separate ways with them sort of saying, you know We'll go talk to some folks and we'll see whether or not it's worth you looking at the x10 Um, but don't buy one I decided to go look at the x10. The only thing that I can tell the x10 does Is add a backlight display Uh when we were contacted again by the gsa This is the only quote that I have to tell me how the x10 security is All right, so so I guess I actually got through 47 slides in 40 minutes Um, there may in fact be time for anybody asking any questions if you could you know if you want to try No, all right somebody has a question. Sorry, uh, yeah, that is government talk for you'd be fucked. Um, I think that I think that what it means is uh, ultimately we've designed, uh, we've tried to get people to understand this as a um design pattern flaw And uh, I think they acknowledged that and they went back and they were able to Identify this pattern on their own and hopefully other lock manufacturers will as well Uh, they just don't have as much money in them Anybody else? Is there anybody I'm up?  Is there anybody else? All right, I am out of here.  I will be accepting joints


The Equitable Life Insurance Society presents This Is Your FBI! This Is Your FBI! The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation presented transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Insurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community. How would you like to meet a man who could show you an easy way to provide for the future financial security of yourself and your family?  Giving you peace of mind is his business. Talking things over with this friendly, helpful neighbor won't cost you a penny. In about 14 minutes, I'd like to tell you more about him. He can help you too enjoy the many benefits of membership in the Equitable Life Insurance Society of the United States. Tonight, the subject of our FBI file, Kidnapping. It's titled Pick Up. In the field of fiction, the recurrent theme of the perfect crime almost invariably concerns the act of murder. Yet in cold fact, the murderer is among all criminals the least likely to evade apprehension and arrest. Figures in the uniform crime reports compiled by your FBI show that in 1951, 94.9% of the murders committed in the United States were cleared within the same calendar year. Today and every day, law enforcement officers throughout America are proving the truth of the old adage that, though it has no tongue, yet murder will speak. Tonight's FBI file opens on a street corner in an eastern city. It is approximately 1 a.m. A cold, drenching rain has been falling intermittently for several hours. The two young women who stand beside a bus stop sign peering down the almost deserted street hold soggy newspapers over their heads and another two shield themselves from the element. Oh, here it comes again. Oh, isn't that bus ever going to come? Oh, this newspaper leaks like a sieve. I'm sorry, I should have brought the umbrella. You certainly should have. Oh, I still think we should have let Bob Hershey drive us home. Oh, Ellie, not me. One, just one dance and he gets fresh. Want to let girls ignore him? Well, come on, it's raining. It is, isn't it? Well, you both look about half-drowned. That's why I stopped. Well, how about it? You want that ride? Oh, I guess not. Thanks, anyway. Hey, look, this isn't a pickup. I mean, I don't usually do it. Sure, sure. Well, have a sure way. Wait a minute, mister. Ellie, he looks all right. Besides, that bus is never going to come. I don't know, Joanne. I know, Ellie, you can protect me. Okay, mister. You've got passengers. This is the place, isn't it, Ellie? That's right. Okay. Joanne, why don't you spend the night with me? We could go to work together in the morning. Oh, all right. Hey, wait a minute. I said door to door delivery. Oh, thanks, Doc. I got to drive all the way to West Park. Anyhow, I want company. Well, that's very nice, but... Oh, come on, dear sport. Don't... Forget it, Ellie. She's going home. Oh, all right, please. I said I'd take you home now, didn't I? It's a matter, don't you trust me? Joanne, I... While her friend Eleanor Haig watches, the man they know only as art, drives Joanne Gordon onto the approaches of a bridge, which crosses a river into an adjoining state. Approximately one half hour later, feeling some concern for the safety of her friend, Eleanor Haig attempts to contact her by telephone. There is no answer. Morning, Joanne Gordon fails to report for work at her job. The next day, she is still missing from her desk, and the telephone at her apartment still does not answer. Finally, on the morning of the third day, Eleanor Haig goes to the police and makes out a missing persons report, stating that Joanne Gordon, age 28, born in Davenport, Iowa, blonde, blue-eyed, single, has disappeared. 24 hours later at the local FBI field office, Special Agent Jim Taylor emerges from the elevator. He is met by Special Agent Richard Schwartz. Jim. Oh, hello, Dink. That girl, the SAC, wanted us to interview. Yeah, she's waiting in the interrogation room. Gordon. She the one the police sent over? Yeah, that's right. Name's Eleanor Haig. Here's the file. Suspected kidnapping, huh? Uh-huh. She saw the missing woman being taken across the state line, so the police referred it to us. Oh, go ahead, Dink. All right. Miss Haig? Yes? Miss Haig, I'm Special Agent Taylor. This is Agent Schwartz. Hi, how do you do? How do you do? Do you mind answering a few questions for us? Oh, anything, anything at all. Fine. Now, your friend, uh, Joanne Gordon, she wasn't in the customer going off with strange men. No, no. And she's been missing for the last four days, is that right? Yes. At first, when she didn't come to work, I thought, well, she'd been talking about taking a few days off to go visit her brother and sister-in-law in Florida. You checked them? Yesterday morning. They hadn't heard from her. I see.  I'm afraid not. It was raining, you know. Would you recognize the car again, do you think? I might. It was a black coupe with red seat covers. What about the driver? A man who, uh, say, called himself Art? I don't know. He was 30 or 35, but he looked younger. Sandy hair, a real shortcut. You know a butch. You're going to find Joanne, aren't you, Mr. Taylor? You're going to be able to find her. An all-points bulletin is issued containing the most detailed available descriptions of the missing woman, her supposed abductor and the coupe in which she was last seen. During the following four days, reports are received from persons in five eastern seaboard states, each claiming to have seen Joanne Gordon and the man called Art. Each story is carefully checked. Each proves a case of mistaken identity. Dick, I'm waiting for a report on the soil content from Mellon or Haig's shoes. You think she might have picked up some debris from the car floor? Why? She just called, Jim. She what? She's had a letter from Joanne Gordon. Legitimate? Sure. She thinks so. It's typed. Has a few mistakes a professional stenographer might not make, but it sounds like her friend was pretty excited. Well, what's it say? That she's with Art. That they've gone to Shore City. That they're planning to get married. New Jersey Postmark? No, Baltimore. Letter says she was mailing it on the way. What about the signature? That was typed, too. The Haig girl says that's not too unusual. Maybe it's all been a wild goose-chasting. Yeah, it could be. We'd better run it through the lab for fingerprint and typewriter identification just in case, excuse me. Agent Taylor. What? Black Coop. Yelp. What about the upholstery? That's right, red seat covers. Yelp. Thanks a lot. Yes, thanks. It'll help. That our car? Sounds like it. The New York police reports a black Coop abandoned on a side street. Been there over a week. Steering wheel, dash and door handles. They've been wiped clean. Sounds suspicious. Police have that license report for you yet? Yelp. Cars registered to the Wellington Tire & Rubber Company. That adds up. I found a blank salesman's order book in the glove compartment. Company car? I guess so. You turn up anything else? Some cigarettes in the ash receiver. Lipstick marks on about half of them. That's the missing woman's brand. Sure. I also found this piece of paper. Looks like it's torn from a letter. It says, Therefore we will be glad to hold your reservation for the week of the fourth. Thank you for your patronage and we trust that you will be pleased with your stay here. Yours very truly the Sands Hotel by J.D. Evans, assistant manager. Sands Hotel? Yeah. There's one in Shore City. That's right. I'll put through a call after I talk to the laboratory. All right. I'm going to turn up at the Wellington Tire & Rubber Company. Ah, yes. Yes, Mr. Taylor. That automobile is most certainly one of ours. Matter of fact, I was discussing it with our transportation director just this morning. Ah. We were considering reporting its disappearance. Why didn't you, Mr. Wellington? Well, Arthur Foster, the salesman assigned to it, has been one of our most trusted employees. We wanted to give him every opportunity to straighten it out. You say he had been? Yes. He came in here, oh, I guess about a week ago. I think it was. Collected commissions due and handed in his resignation. Did he give any reason? Said it was his doctor's orders. Nerves were shot. Had to take long rest. He didn't say where he was going, did he? No, no he didn't. And the car, sir? Well, he waited a day or two expecting it to come in and then I called his wife. And? Well, she seemed to think he was still on the road.  No. Well, do you know his address? He lived somewhere out in the suburbs. Nice little house. Controller will be able to give you the address. All right, fine. Thank you, sir. Oh, there's one more thing. Yes? When Forster was last in, you wouldn't know if he used a typewriter. Well, yes, yes. As a matter of fact, it did. Said he had a couple of letters to get out and I told him to use the machine in the salesman's office. First door, right down at the end of the hall. I just talked to that assistant manager at the Sands Hotel of Shore City, Jim. And Arthur Forster had a reservation, all right? But he never kept it. Oh. You get a lab report on that typewriter sample? Yeah, it checks for the letter that Eleanor Hague got. Characters, space Steven, light stroke. Lab says there are indications the letter was written by an inexperienced typist. Well, that rules out Joanne Gordon. Well, that is a phony. Forster's a man, all right? A lipstick on those cigarettes. Check, too. Same brand, the missing woman always used. Well, no. All I have to do is find him and her. What about his wife? Nobody home. I'm going up there again this afternoon as a... Excuse me. Agent Taylor. What? Yeah. No. We were expecting that. Yeah. All right, thanks very much. Only missing one now, Dick. They found Joanne Gordon. She's been choked to death. We will return in just a moment to tonight's exciting case from the official files of your FBI. How much money do you think your family would need to keep them in comfort if something happened to you? There's an easy way to find out. A way that will show you how to turn your social security into full security. Now, one of our equitable society members would like to tell you how he did just that. Mr. Herbert Niles. Well, I've got social security, but I found out not so long ago that that would give my wife and children only $107 a month. Now, I'd like to know how any family could live on that at today's prices. Not very many. So what happened?  And that's the famous equitable fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. It's free to everyone. Did it help you, Mr. Niles? You bet it did. I called up our local equitable man right away. The chart in less than 10 minutes helped us figure out just how much extra money would be needed to keep my wife and youngsters well fed, well housed, and well clothed until the youngest was through high school. Then what did you do? Well, when I found out that with a little extra money, I could turn my social security into full security, I became a member of the Equitable Society. That equitable family security plan is just what every family man needs. Anybody who has social security and wants to turn it into full security for his family ought to call up his local equitable man right away. That's good advice.  First, ask him for your free copy of the Equitable Fact-Finding Chart for fathers and mothers. You'll find him very helpful in solving your family security problem. He's a specialist in insurance. He's a solid citizen in your community and you'll find him friendly and helpful. Consult the yellow pages of your local telephone directory for his phone number. You'll find his name listed under Equitable. That's E-Q-U-I-T-A-B-L-E. The Equitable Live Assurance Society of the United States. And now back to tonight's FBI file pickup. The investigation of a crime commonly passes through several phases, among which perhaps the most important is that of identification. Frequently, as in tonight's case, identification may depend on a grain of soil, a scrap of fabric, a bit of hair, a smear of blood or food or cosmetic, the imprint of a rubber heel, a typewriter key, an automobile tire. In the hands of the trained scientist in the FBI laboratory, these often microscopic indications of a criminal's passing form his clear signature, sometimes on his own death warrant. Tonight's FBI file continues at the city morgue. Special agents Jim Taylor and Richard Schwartz pause before the slap which contains the body of Joann Gordon. This is it, Jim. Oh, I called Eleanor Hague. She said she'd meet us here. How'd she take it? Not too bad. I guess she was really expecting it. Corn has reported in yet? Yeah. She strangled Laura. All right. Died almost instantly. Nice guy. Clean cut. No. Hold it, hold it, Dick. Mr. Taylor, is this absolutely necessary? I mean... I'm... I'm sorry, Miss Hague, but I'm afraid we need a definite identification. Definite? Then there's a chance that this isn't Joann? There's a... there's a chance, yes. All right, Dick. Yes. Yes, that's Joann. That bracelet. She's still wearing it. A boyfriend sent it to her from Arizona. He called it a... a good luck bracelet. Turquoise and silver, see? For good luck. Mrs. Foster? Yes. I'm Special Agent Taylor, the FBI. Here are my credentials. I'd like to ask you a few questions. You may come in. Thank you. Sit down if you wish. Thanks. Now, your husband is Arthur Foster? That's right. He's not here. My husband's a traveling salesman, Mr. Taylor. He's on the road. I see. Would you mind answering a few questions about him? Why? What's he done? Mrs. Foster, you may have read in the newspapers about the death of a Joann Gordon. Joann... Gordon. Yes. Yes. Yes, I've read about her. You mean you think my husband is... I'm afraid it looks that way, Mrs. Foster.   I know how you feel, but there are several facts that well need to be cleared up. For instance...  Belong to the company, yes. He's using it now. No, I'm afraid not. As a matter of fact, he's not working for the Wellington Company anymore. I don't believe it. Well, you can check that if you like. Arthur, good husband. He's reliable. We have a family, Mr. Taylor. Two daughters. He's a good father. When did you see your husband last, Mrs. Foster? A week ago, Friday. That was the night the girl disappeared. What time did he get here? Late. Quite late. He'd been on the road. I see, and he left the next day? Yes, in the morning. We'd planned to go to Shore City for a few days, but he said it would have to be postponed. Something about work. And since then? I told you, he's on the road. No, Mrs. Foster. I don't know what you're up to, Mr. Taylor, but I'm not going to let art be persecuted like this. Persecuted? Just because that crazy doctor at the sanitarium said that... He was in a sanitarium? Don't have to answer your questions. Do I, Mr. Taylor? No. No, ma'am, you don't, but we want to find your husband, Mrs. Foster. We want to talk to him. Whether he's innocent or guilty, we want to find him. He's innocent. If he is, I give you my word that we'll do everything possible to clear him just as quickly as it can be done. If he's guilty, you should... You've already made up your mind to it, haven't you? I work with facts, Mrs. Foster, not opinions. You said you have a daughter. Two of them. Whoever did this thing is still at large. We want to catch him. Mr. Taylor? Yes, ma'am. I'll answer your questions. Dick, how'd you make out at the sanitarium? I talked to the head psychiatrist, Jim. He remembers Arthur Foster all right now. He was in for observation, attempted suicide. It was only a preliminary study, but it seems there were some definite indications of mental aberration. His wife had him released before they could go any further. Any homicidal tendencies? Well, the doctor said that often goes along with the suicide trial, especially by violent means. Are you working up a report on the case? Oh, no, not yet. There's just kind of a master sheet on Arthur Foster. It contains everything we know about him to date. Is she anything useful? Not much, I'm afraid. He's a normal American guy on the surface, a couple of years of college, played football. He liked fishing, photography. He used to work summers as a guide at some fishing resort down the bay. Hmm. Boats are pretty good place for a guide of Hein. Yeah, except that. I'll contact the Coast Guard and make a small craft check. What about the wander circulars, they ready? Coming off the presses now. The net around Arthur Foster is made of fine mesh. Circulars containing pictures and a full description are distributed to police departments, county and state law enforcement agencies, and service organizations in 18 states. Coast Guard and customs officials are alerted to be on the watch for the wanted man as our ticket agents for all forms of interstate transportation. Foster's home, his former place of employment, and all of his known haunts are put under 24-hour surveillance, a week passes and another, and Arthur Foster has not been taken into custody. On Thursday of the third week, nearly a month after Joanne Gordon and Eleanor Hague had accepted a ride in the rain from a stranger. A message is received at the local field office from the sheriff at Wilbur Cove. A man answering the description of the fugitive has been seen in the vicinity and is believed to have taken possession of a deserted fishing shack located several miles up the beach. Special Agent Jim Taylor hurries to Wilbur Cove to investigate. There it is down there, Mr. Taylor. The tar paper shack by the tight lines. Okay. How many men have you got, Sheriff? Five. I don't know if it is staked out in those dunes, huh? They armed? Yeah, rivals. All right, tell them to cover me. You mean you're going down there alone? That's right. Ain't you figuring on shooting it out with him? It's not if I can help it. Foster! Are you in there, Foster? This is an agent of the FBI, Foster, open up. Who are the Foster? I'm afraid you'd never get here. I killed her. I didn't mean to. Do you know about it? I guess so.  Then what? Me and the other girl, Joanne, we stopped over the bridge. Had something to eat. Then we drove around for a while, parked on a side street. I started to kiss her, and I don't know what came over me. It was like a light. Right behind my eyes. It hurt. It just lasted a couple of seconds. I got strong hands, see, but I didn't know it could happen, not that quick. I didn't know you could in... in only a couple of seconds. Well, then you knew she was dead. Not right away, I wasn't sure. I thought maybe she'd fainted. I kept trying to bring her out of it, and then I knew... And after that? Drove around for a while, then I went home. Body still in the car? Yeah. All night, the garage. Next day I started out, I figured I'd drive to the bay, and I got scared, and I dumped her. I guess you know the rest. Yeah, most of it. There's just one thing that I don't get. Yeah? What happened to me? I was just an ordinary guy. Sure, I chased around a little, but... but I'm no killer. What happened? Why did I do it? Why? Author Foster was turned over to state authorities for a prosecutive action on the murder charge. Following psychiatric examination, he was pronounced of unsound mind and was committed to an institution for the criminally insane. Since the Second World War, crimes such as the one dramatized tonight, crimes of violence, crimes against the person have shown an alarming rate of increase. To this problem, law enforcement alone is not the answer. No swift solution and quick arrest can bring a dead girl back to life. No conviction or execution can restore laughter to a shattered childhood. Your FBI urges you to exercise caution when dealing with strangers, to report suspicious persons to the police, to cooperate with your local authorities in order to speed the day when the streets of America will be paths of light on which you and your children may walk without fear. There's one thing I wish you'd keep in mind. You don't have to be rich to provide future financial security for yourself and your family and there's a man who can prove it to you.  He'll be glad to bring you free and without obligation you'll have to go to the courting chart for fathers and mothers. He'll be glad to analyze your problem and present a plan that serves your best interests. No matter what your life insurance problem, home ownership, your children's education, independence when you quit work for good, he knows the answers. Just consult your local telephone directory for the name of your local Equitable Representative. You'll find it in the yellow pages of the entirety of the United States. Next week we will dramatize another case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It's subject, bank robbery. It's title, snow screen. The incidents used into nice equitable life insurance society's broadcast are adapted from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, all names used are fictitious and any similarity thereof to the names of places or persons living or dead is accidental. Tonight the music was composed and conducted by Frederick Steiner.

Others in the cast were Irene Anders, Michael Ann Barrett, Sally Cassel, Walter Catlett, Tony Hughes, Bill Johnstone and James McCallion. This is your FBI is a Jerry Divine production. This is Larry Keating speaking for the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community and inviting you to tune in again next week at the same time when the Equitable Life Assurance Society will bring you another thrilling transcribe story from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This is ABC Radio Network.


So you have a YouTube series for me. Yes, sir. I do and you know the one thing that's missing from YouTube these days I don't know. What's that videos about spirituality? Oh, there's there's none of that on YouTube not that I know of but then again I didn't look oh, maybe you should have done that. Yeah, I guess so whoops whoop see so what's the show about well The idea is a series called spirit science and it features a little blue guy who's naked and made of stuffing and stands at a podium and teaches about science and Spirituality and how they go together.  Well, he is a cartoon character sir And I mean Donald Duck never had pants and he's a billionaire so we'll probably be okay. Oh not having pants is tight So what happens in this thing? Well each episode basically explores some kind of spiritual or esoteric concepts Like chakras and astral projection and tries to find connections and explanations for these things in modern science Oh very cool. So there's like scientific evidence for chakras now Well, no. Oh seems like it'll be hard to make a show about this actually. No, it'll be super easy barely an inconvenience Oh, really? Yeah, you see straight up modern technology still has a long way to go So if there are some ancient concepts that may or may not be legit We can always say that maybe it's real but science is still just figuring these things out seems like kind of a stretch Okay, sir, you're gonna have to get all the way off my back about this and just go with it You know like a Taoist sage. Okay, let me get off of that thing.  There's some validity to these concepts. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, actually, it's really quite wild when you go down a lot of these rabbit holes There's some amazing scientific evidence for the power of collective meditation on global consciousness Transcendent healing ancient Atlantis and even stuff like pyramid power. Wow. Wow. Wow. So where is Atlantis exactly? Unclear fair enough. So what are we gonna do about the people who say we're just pseudo scientists and conspiracy theorists? Well, that's cool, too We can even branch into episodes about pseudo science and conspiracies and champion the cause Haven't you heard sir? The mainstream media is suppressing these kinds of conversations Wait, are the conversations being suppressed or do people just not care? Yes, huh So what do you think? Well, I think it'll be fun, but I'm not quite sure that it'll really take off The YouTube audience can sure be picky, you know, let's try an episode or two and see how things go Hey guys, I hope you enjoyed this video We are massive fans of the pitch meeting series And so we make this with huge gratitude to Ryan George and screen rent for making us laugh week over week And of course to celebrate 1 million subscribers here on YouTube Thank you so much for tuning in over and over through all these years and here's to another huge milestone toodles


Striking the right work-life balance being a parent and an entrepreneur is not an easy task which is why more and more people are looking at flexible schedule these days. Hi guys, this is Aastha Singhal and here are 4 ways entrepreneurs can manage their schedule the right way. It is important to note that you should create a schedule that works the best for you. Often it is determined by the factors like when you are most productive or when the kids are at school, don't be afraid to experiment with a couple of different schedules until you have found the right match. You should get as much work done as possible when the kids are not around.  The idea is not to neglect your family when they're around. Want to know why we struggle so much with the work-life balance? It's because we can't let go of the control. If that rings true for you then it's time to learn which activities can or should be delegated, outsourced or automated. One of the best things about being an entrepreneur is that you are the boss. So if that 9-to-5 schedule is in gelling with your home life then you can establish your own schedule that's more conducive to making life better for everyone. Have a great day ahead.


So I am redoing this series because there is a lot going on in the world today that is extremely different and is changing how the future of certain companies and businesses are gonna play out. Everything said in this video is an opinion and a forecast or an analysis based off of what's going on and what I am seeing, none of it is factual, none of it is for sure gonna happen and I just wanna make that clear now. I'm not saying that this business is gonna go to business or this business is gonna do better than this business. Things can change at the flip of a finger or flick of a finger, whatever the saying is. I do wanna take some time though at the beginning of this video to say a huge thank you to anyone that is still working today out there feeding people, giving people food, taking care of people especially the medical professionals out there and anyone that is helping anyone in your neighborhood. A huge thank you to just anyone who is still putting themselves in at, I guess in danger or at risk to help other people have access to food, groceries and medical attention. So a huge thank you, honestly, I really do mean that. That aside, let's get right into the video. A lot has changed. So as you saw, we went through about a week and a half to two weeks of the stock market completely crashing and the stocks are starting to do better and there's a reason to that. The U.S. is definitely taking some action to help implement strategies, to help investors feel more comfortable in investing in companies and the stock price has just got so low that a lot of other people including myself felt a little more comfortable in buying stocks that are like $10, $12, $15 and knowing that they're eventually gonna grow in about a year, a year and a half or two years from now. So a couple of factors and there's definitely more factors on top of that as to why the stock market's growing and why you should invest now is the time, definitely if you have extra money that you have laying around or savings, throw a couple of it, throw a bit of it into the stock market, into a company that you have a lot of trust in and maybe even talk to a financial advisor or an investor and get some opinions around just even your friends or family.  But yeah, in terms of the stock market, I feel very comfortable with Cedar Fair and their growth. I think we're gonna stay around this ball field for quite some time. I don't think it's gonna go up any further. I don't think we're gonna get back into the 40s any time soon. But if we do, hey, I'll be surprised and shocked to see are the better for me. But nonetheless, what is the future of Cedar Fair? So with what's going on, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna say too much of what I think's gonna happen in terms of when they're gonna open. I don't wanna scare anyone and I don't wanna upset anyone anymore. I will say when it comes to Cedar Fair, I do have very definitive answers on when they're gonna open up. And my sources that I have for Cedar Fair are very reliable and for Six Legs as well. That being said, I do not have a date yet. So it is still obviously mid-May based off of what Cedar Fair themselves have announced and that is what you are gonna listen to and that is what we're gonna assume. So mid-May is the target opening date that we have for Cedar Fair. And if we take what the President of the United States has recently said, we are going to assume that mid-May is a very reasonable assumption as to when the target, keyword target, of opening up the economy and businesses again. So obviously America has very different strategies to other countries out there. They're aiming for about 15 days of quarantine and then everything will open up after that. That is very different to what we are doing over here in Canada. I'm not gonna say which one's better in this video. I'm gonna keep my political views out of these videos. But nonetheless, over here in Canada, we are gonna be locked down for, it looks like, two months. I don't think it's gonna be a full lockdown, but currently we know that self distancing and all that they're saying is gonna last up to a minimum of two months currently, which has me believing that Canada's Wonderland will face some impacts there. But what's gonna happen with Cedar Fair? So I think that we're gonna see a lot of smaller parks start to struggle. I think we may even see a bigger corporation start to struggle and assets may need to be sold off. Cedar Fair is in a very strong financial position. So I'm not gonna touch on what the other chain is doing that's making me believe Cedar Fair is in a much better state. I'm gonna touch on Cedar Fair. So Cedar Fair has had a 40% increase in season past sales before the season even started, before Q1 of this year started. That's crazy, okay? Sorry, that is Q1. 40% increase in season past sales, double digits across the entire chain. So they have money. They have money already of people who committed to coming to Cedar Fair, a Cedar Fair park in the 2020 season. And we know that Six Flags had a decline in sales in terms of season passes and memberships. So Cedar Fair was already at an advantage going into the 2020 season. And we know that moving forward, they have money that they have set aside to purchase parks down the road. That is emergency money or money that you could say to purchase parks. And I think that opportunity is gonna come a lot sooner if this self-quarantine and this self-isolation continues to go into July and August. If we lose the 2020 season, you're gonna see those small independent chains struggle a little more than I was originally anticipating. And I think we may even see one of the bigger chains struggling to survive. And there are definitely signs of that arising right now. And I'm gonna touch on that in tomorrow's video. So there's something about Six Flags that I wanna discuss in tomorrow's video. I'm not gonna touch on this video, but it is leading me to believe that Cedar Fair may end up acquiring some parks during the next year or two through this financial crisis that we're going through due to the what shine be named. But I definitely see Cedar Fair's portfolio growing in the next two years because of this, I honestly do. Now the key point, the huge takeaway here is I honestly think there's a top four park in the chain. So Kings Island, Carowinds, Cedar Point and Canada's Wonderland are gonna benefit from this. And there is a very specific situation that has occurred before, especially at Canada's Wonderland. It wasn't under Cedar Fair, but it's a very common situation. When a big park loses attendance due to something that is going on out of its control, they will push forward large investments to bring in the attendance the next year. Canada's Wonderland during the SARS pandemic built, they opened up Italian job stunt coaster and SARS had happened that same year. There was a very low attendance that year. So the next year, they pushed forward Tomb Raider, their really crappy flying coaster to open the very next year to help boost attendance as well. So there's a very specific example of a park or a company moving forward investments to help boost attendance. And you're gonna see that at the four main parks. So Canada's Wonderland, Cedar Point, Kings Island and Carowinds are gonna struggle this year in terms of attendance. Every park around North America is going to struggle this year in terms of attendance. It's very, actually just every park in the world is gonna struggle in terms of attendance this year. I'd be very shocked if these big parks break a million attendance this year because even when they do open, people are not gonna feel fully comfortable and confident to go to these parks and they're gonna need big additions to draw in people as soon as possible. I'm not saying Canada's Wonderland's gonna build a coaster in 2021. Trust me, no, Cedar Point's got that coaster on lockdown. You're gonna see things pushed forward. So a flat ride that was maybe next year, we're supposed to get a restaurant at Canada's Wonderland in 2021. Maybe they'll push forward one of those really awesome flat rides that are supposed to come out three to four years from now. It'll come out in 2021 and then a coaster in 2022. That is kind of the things that you're gonna wanna look forward to. Carowinds might push forward their additions as well. Kings Island and Cedar Point as well. They're gonna need to draw in people to boost those numbers, get those fast lane sales in in 2021 and 2022 to help put themselves back to where they were before this crisis. That is just a fact and that is just a common sense. And for anyone that knows business, this is just the case. It's gonna happen at a lot of those parks. You're gonna see a lot of these investments being pushed forward. And I guess it's the silver lining through what's been going on in the world right now. And I don't wanna say the silver lining because it's a really, really awful situation. But I'm noticed a lot of you guys are really upset about your parks not opening. And a lot of you have reached out for help or advice. And you've been upset with the news that's come forward from this channel even though you yourself understand it's true. And I wanted to start talking about some of the positives now. I've done enough time talking about the negatives in terms of this. And there are positives are gonna come. You're not gonna see Cedar Fertile Bank erupting even if they don't open this year at all. They're fine and there's definitely some positives to come. So, and go outside and take a walk, get some fresh air, listen to some music, do things that you love outside of theme parks and roller coasters. There's gotta be something. Everyone likes music. Go for a walk and listen to music. I promise you it'll help you. It helps calm me down and I know it will help you. Hopefully you enjoyed this video on Cedar Fair's future. I tried to throw in as much and little information as possible because I'm gonna start going into individual parks future as well moving forward. Cause I have some pretty interesting ideas of what these top four parks are gonna do in the chain. And then again, tomorrow will be six Flags's and that's gonna be a much more interesting video than this one. Cause this one was really easy to make and understand. But anyways, hope you enjoyed this video. Don't forget to hit that like button, subscribe if you haven't and share this video for others to enjoy.  Have a good one. Bye.


And we're here at the ID TechEx show and who are you? I'm David Brown, CEO and co-founder of BroadBit Batteries. And this is the battery? This is the battery. This is real? This is real. So you have a battery in there? Yeah, let's see. There we go. There's a BroadBit battery. And so what's the technology in here? So in here is a sodium chloride metallic sodium battery. So on the anode side is metallic sodium and on the cathode side is sodium chloride, table salt. So this is not lithium ion? Table salt. It's not lithium ion. It is not lithium ion, unrelated to lithium ion. And I think there's nothing that's the same as lithium ion. There's no lithium, there's nothing. Here are the main ingredients. So we have sodium chloride, we have carbon, we have silicon oxide, sand, and we have sulfur. So those are the main ingredients in the battery. How much of each and everything? Is that a secret? That's a secret, I can't tell you that. So is this really going to be twice as better than lithium ion? Yeah, so right now what we have here is the first generation. So this cell is what we call our Gen 1 cell. And this is about 300 watt hours per kilogram when we're in production. And then we're also working on the next generation of battery, which should be above 400 watt hours per kilogram when we're in production. So right now these are handmade so they're not that good yet, but they will be soon. So 300 gram hours per kilogram? How does that compare with the two ions? So the very best lithium ions today are around 250 and a typical one is around 150. So if you're buying the best Panasonic ones, you're around 250. So you're definitely better already? Yeah, well let's put it this way. In the coin cell level we have tested all the different layers, and if you add those layers in their optimal ratio, we're already better. But these are still handmade, nothing is yet optimized, so these are not yet better. So this is about 100 watt hours per kilogram handmade. Is this safe? Sure. You've done all the safety testing? We have not done all the safety testing though. Because you were talking about safety testing in the last one, how do you do all the... There's lots of standard tests, there's fire tests and puncture tests and crush tests and all sorts of different things you do. So we haven't done any of those yet. So we're just making our first cylindrical cell batteries now. And these are again made by hand. Made by hand. These are not production items yet. And what changes when it becomes production? Well then we can optimize the layers and get better control and uniformity and repeatability. Now these are literally made on your kitchen table with making bread and rolling dough and things like that. And how about recharge cycles? Yeah, so far we're up to 200 again in prototypes. And we plan to be above 500 in let's say three to six months. And that's when we think we're ready to start going. 500 is great, no? 500 is like a lithium ion kind of. Yeah, that's a high energy lithium ion. Around 500 to 1,000. How much do you lose when you recharge so much? Do you lose some percentage? Yeah, so the batteries actually ours are a bit unique in another way. They actually get better for a while and then they're stable and then they start to degrade. So different chemistry, very different chemistry than lithium ion. And these materials right there, can we find them everywhere? Yeah, those are very common abundant materials. Very cheap, available everywhere. Nobody controls them. You don't need to worry about blood, cobalt or anything like that. And it totally works. Yeah. It's very bright, it powers. It's going to be the cars, it's going to be smart phones, it's going to be everything. Yeah, so we plan to completely replace lithium ion in the future. The first thing we're doing are these cylindrical cells, so applications where you need these form factor. This is like a standard form factor that's very popular, right? This is the most popular form factor for cells in battery packs. I thought it was AA or AAA or something. No, that's for your home stuff. But in industrial applications this is the most common. And then you will do coins and you will do EV batteries. Yeah. How soon? As soon as Tesla comes over and says let's do it. Something like that. Can you make a broad bit giga factory? Sure. Give us some money and we'll make a factory. How long does it take? So we're hoping to be in small scale production at the end of next year. That's the goal. I don't know if we can reach that. But we're going to try to be in Q4 next year in small scale production. Yeah, but small. How about big? Well, big is next. Can you get bigger soon? Well, we have to go through all the... We're still not done with R&D, as I mentioned. We're at now at 200 cycles. We need to get double or triple that to start entering the market. And there's all the safety qualifications, et cetera, et cetera. So there's still a lot of work to do before we're actually on the market.


Kill everyone. Prigozin ordered the Wagnerites not to take prisoners. Head of Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozin ordered his mercenaries not to take prisoners. From now on, the Wagnerites will allegedly kill everyone. The corresponding video appeared on the network recently. On the footage, Prigozin pathetically says that the occupiers allegedly will never violate the international laws of humanism. We will simply kill everyone on the battlefield, he said. Prigozin made such a cynical statement after the alleged interception of a conversation between Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers where they agreed to kill a wounded Wagner militant was released to the network. The general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not confirm the authenticity of this ordeal. The invaders did not give any convincing arguments regarding the authenticity of this conversation. According to Prigozin, a new law is being introduced into the Wagner Group. This law will be called the law of the 300th. We do not yet know the name of our guy who was shot by Ukrainian scoundrels.  Do not take a single prisoner anymore, he said.  At the same time, they do it cynically, boasting on the video. In early April, a terrible video of the execution of a Ukrainian prisoner of war began to circulate on the network. Russian invaders cut off the head of a still living person with a knife.


My cousin was you heard about the jigsaw killer. Yeah, right.  I used to go to to escape my mums All right Steven was on trove for that, right? I know the ins and outs of it and I say it now because He rang me up The morning I wouldn't man And he basically told me the truth. She stabbed the geezer in the back, right? I said, where is it? You said he's in in shower gone And he just didn't know what to do with him he just he was So that's all it was a girl stabbing someone but what I'm trying to get this is the bit I'm trying to get to When he goes a trial The prosecutor that his barrister said to him listen They're talking about giving you a whole life sentence now Steven at the time Was being medicated from wood ill prison and was like a gun just zombieed So they asked him a straight question you need to give the judge something to stop and give you a normal life sentence So he said just sitting there like that. He said in the call trial. They said he'd done this before, right? So they said have you done it before? He went like that Just put four fingers up. That's it. He goes in the culprits He has cut up four mother bodies and complete nonsense But you shouldn't have allowed that to be used in that trial and the other the other thing to do with that that case The girl give evidence against him who was the main witness. I Should have bought a statement. I forgot it She said she met the family, right? The Adams is right. She met him at Stevens Nans funeral She was introduced to Tony and Terry Now They know there's not a Tony. All right, the police But they still allowed the evidence to go in printing the papers and made a big for all That he'd been doing what he'd been doing for them. It's absolute nonsense. There is not a Tony and there's a Terry But my uncle is Tony and Terry they was Stevens uncles not them But they allowed that in as evidence and it just crucified him with him going like that And he said it was a mass mantra. They all said he was it was getting rid of bodies. Yeah, it's Listen, just because he lifted his hands lifted four fingers up because he was told a nest Let's get it right. She said he used to do it with me We we we was the ones who used to do that the jigsaw colors. Yeah That's not fuck's sake. Paul. No wonder your head's fried But you imagine I've got all that going on in my head. Yeah And I've now got to go to people and go listen. I'm gonna mark your card about something This has been said in Colton.  Mm-hmm, and it just You're our wed starts. Yeah, plus it spirals as well with the papers the news everything they just didn't stop
