The agriculture is a big industry in Arkansas, irrigation is a big part of that. We produce more rice than any state in the country and in order to continue doing that we've got to have a sustainable supply of water. Over the years we've seen our declining levels of groundwater and we've recognized that we have to have solutions beyond just pulling water out of the ground. This is one of the primary solutions that's been identified as part of the state's water plan and when this project's implemented it'll take a big chunk out of the groundwater overdraft that we have here in the state and make sure our agriculture producers have a sustainable supply of water. Years and years of planning to get to this point. Fifty years ago there was a recognition of a need for a project like this. We've had local leadership with the irrigation district for more than 40 years educating people on the nature of the problem and that this is a viable solution. So today is really a landmark day for us and that we're going to be beginning construction on the canals to deliver water to the farmers here. United States Army Corps of Engineers first became a part of this project back in 1996 when it was authorized by Congress for federal investment and construction and since then we've been partnering with the White Irrigation District the state of Arkansas and the local community to deliver about two hundred and fourteen million dollars worth of construction that has got us to where we are today. It is extremely important the Corps of Engineers because you know our vision statement is to engineer solutions to the nation's toughest challenges and aquifer depletion, groundwater depletion and and how we handle that resource is in fact now and in the future going to be one of the nation's toughest challenges. So anything we can do today to demonstrate how the resources that we already have river water can be used to stop the depletion of an aquifer I think are very important and they're going to be an example for how this can be handled in other parts of the nation in the future. Well the significance is about 40 years worth of toil and tears and a lot of money that's already been sunk into construction and the pump station pipelines in a reservoir down the way all we need is a way to take the water across the prairie which is going to be canals with pipelines and this is the first construction contract to move dirt to build those canals and start the pipelines to take it to the farmers fields. The contractors looking for about six months, six to eight months of good weather which we'll put him in the farmers category right now, he estimates I think it's 16 months I believe is on this first contract but during that 16 months we're going to be working on the plans and issuing taking bids and issuing the contracts for the next phase. So the actual construction in the initiation of the next segment will be overlapping each other all the way all the way down as far as did I ever have any doubts I was here with the woodpecker I was here in 2000 whenever we kicked this thing off and before that I've been on here a long time we actually got to the point where this is our last charge we've been on here too long we're either going to do it or we're going home and we're still here.


So, even in the rare instance where I agree with Joe Biden on the policy substance, he still manages to be a disappointment. Because if he takes a position that I agree with, then the next question is, will he be willing to fight for said policy? And the answer is, hmm, hopefully, but usually no. And we've seen this time and again with Joe Biden. I mean, back in 2009, during healthcare reform negotiations, they publicly supported a public option, but then didn't even put it on the table.  And we're seeing this again with the minimum wage. So he wants to increase the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. Now in 2021, that's not necessarily sufficient, but still, if he does this, that will raise the wages of millions of American workers and I'll take what I can get right now. The problem, however, is if this isn't done using budget reconciliation, since Democrats have a razor thin majority in the Senate, it's not going to happen. So you have to make sure that you put this as part of the package deal. So what he's trying to do or what he was trying to do is include this in the $1.9 trillion COVID relief package. However, you have some individuals in the Democratic Party, such as Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema saying, I don't want to support this if it includes a $15 an hour minimum wage. Now, rather than fighting people in your own party using your bully pulpit to pressure them, he's choosing to back down. He's already signaling to people behind closed doors that this is probably going to be a defeat for him. So as Politico reports, when Joe Biden met with a group of mayors and governors last week, he bluntly told them to get ready for a legislative defeat. His proposed minimum wage hike was unlikely to happen, he said, at least in the near term. I really want this in there, but it just doesn't look like we can do it because of reconciliation. Biden told the group, according to a person in the room, I'm not going to give up. But right now, we have to prepare for this, not making it. The comments which were confirmed by two other people familiar with the conversation were the furthest Biden has gone in conceding the coming axing of the $15 an hour minimum wage provision from his first major legislative package. And they suggest that the president is more inclined to not manage the fallout of it not being included than to pursue long shot political capital consuming efforts to fight for its insertion. Sitting in the Oval Office with Republican and Democratic elected officials last Friday to advocate for his $1.9 trillion COVID relief package, he didn't hide his skepticism. Doesn't look like we can do it, he said of the minimum wage hike. For weeks now, the White House has been trying to manage expectations on the feasibility of advancing a $15 an hour minimum wage provision through a broader rescue package. Biden first suggested it might not make it into the final COVID relief bill in an interview with CBS prior to the Super Bowl, noting his belief that the Senate parliamentarian would determine if it did not jibe with budgetary rules that allow a bill to pass with just 51 votes in the Senate. His comments drew pushback from fellow Democrats who have argued that raising the minimum wage isn't just necessary for an economically battered country, but is sound politics as well. They have urged the White House to find avenues for making it reconciliation compliant to push party members skeptical of a major minimum wage hike to get on board and to consider the procedural nuclear option of having the party with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as the tie breaking vote overrule the parliamentarian. So of course, this is a really bad time. And look, to put it bluntly, if it's not in the COVID relief package, if it's not attached to something else, it's not going to pass. Because if you are going to put it in this predicament where it needs 60 votes to pass, you're not going to get it. You could barely get 51 votes for it to pass. So if you don't pass it with something else as part of a broader package, then it's not going to pass. Simple as that. And I get that, you know, he is getting cold feet because the longer that he keeps it in, well, the longer he's holding up COVID relief. But this is kind of his own doing. You could have passed a standalone survival check of $2,000, which you promised if people in Georgia voted for Rafael Warnock and John Asif. You didn't do that. So you're including that with a COVID relief package, which is okay, I guess. But now it's taking a long time to pass and you could have just gotten survival checks and then you pass the broader economic relief package and then you put the minimum wage provision in that. So that way it doesn't seem like you're dragging your feet with the survival checks and you actually push the minimum wage increase through. But if you don't get this through using reconciliation, it's not going to happen. So either you make it happen or you crack some skulls.  You are the most powerful government official in the country. Why is it that you of all people, Joe Biden, are walking on eggshells for someone like Joe Manchin or Kyrsten Sinema? Make them, make them support your agenda. I just, I don't get why this is so hard.  So this is just it's bad politics and another part of the issue not to like cleanse Joe Biden's hands of all of this. But the media also isn't helping the media rather than actually like trying to educate the masses and inform people about the necessity of giving people a wage increase during the pandemic. The way that they're framing this entire debate is as if, you know, if Joe Biden is successful at passing the minimum wage using reconciliation, is that actually a bad thing? Like look at the way that Casey Hunt of MSNBC framed this question to Congressman Ro Khanna. Congressman Khan, it's great to see you. Thank you so much for starting your day off so early with us. Let's start there with what we just heard from now President Biden about this package. He, of course, ran on the idea of unity, trying to get bipartisan support. They're now essentially saying that's not necessarily what unity means and that this is very popular broadly with the country. What do you think you're actually going to be able to get done in this bill? Do you think the minimum wage provision is going to stay in it? And do you think that handling it this way with reconciliation right out of the gate potentially is going to make it harder to work with Republicans on other issues in the future? Casey, I'm pleased that President Biden has been so strong on delivering for relief for working class and middle class Americans, on delivering, on tackling the pandemic. That is what he campaigned on. He said he was going to do this with the recovery. He said we were going to get monthly checks. He said we were going to tackle child poverty. He said that we were going to give Americans a raise. And so I appreciate his approach. I do think reconciliation is the right way to do it. The house minimum is going to pass the $15 minimum wage. And I hope that it will pass in the Senate as well. This was explicitly what President Biden ran on. I mean, this is why we are in the predicament that we are in. The concern shouldn't be whether or not using budget reconciliation to raise the minimum wage will be divisive and turn Republicans off to wanting to work with Biden's administration. The concern should be why is it that in the richest country in the world, we have to use budget reconciliation to assure that the minimum wage is going to be increased? Like why is it this difficult? Why are people in the United States government who make almost $200,000 a year refusing to give the peasants a raise of just a couple of dollars?  We have a Democratic Party who is unwilling to fight and they cave immediately when they start to fight. And second of all, we have a media that doesn't actually care about educating the masses. They care more about like the partisan angle of it.  That Democrats have to use budget reconciliation to pass this crucial policy. But well, maybe that's a little bit mean, and maybe they should try to bring more Republicans in. Like it's so frustrating to see this. Look, I'll put it very bluntly. Pass this or you're going to lose your reelection campaign and Democrats will lose in twenty twenty two. The minimum wage increase is a key promise.  So get it together.  Don't give up. Fight, Joe Biden.


Okay, so checking this out. This is really cool. I really like the changes you made There's some really really neat stuff there, and I really have only minor notes. It's it's pretty much done Great moments there where things are much more clear in terms of silhouettes pauses are great That love this Love that. That's so cool. So my major minor things would be so this is all neat, right all that stuff here as he comes down You see how it pushes off if I be super picky it feels like this foot here It's kind of it all kind of pivots off the toe and Then right at the very end here. See how the body is moving, but the foot's not moving Just make sure that it continues to move and at this point, maybe the foot could tilt tilt over this way It's kind of the same thing here if it's like it's a big foot roll But make sure that it feels kind of like a push so you want to have parts of the toe still moving away As he's pushing down Just watch out for stuff like that or super piggy things where you see his knee Goes down down down to the right and then suddenly goes down to the left and then down forward again So this would be one continuous arc without that one last down move You know stuff like that for just your your final polish pass Love the stuff on the fingers here. It's all good. My first major thing would be this it still feels weird how How he goes back and both arms come up Hands I mean and then he goes down and pushes off and if you watch this in real time It's kind of it's like a weird anticipation where it's almost playful. It's kind of a I don't know to me It feels like you want to have That hand come down and then bring that hand up like this Much earlier so it feels like he's he's I think I mentioned before where he kind of pushes against the tree I make sure that he doesn't slide down and that's kind of what makes you have your wrist go up a bit It's not a shock killer and then you know, you can ask other people as well I'm curious about their reactions and stuff, but it's just something where it feels a bit off It feels almost too animated as in I'm showing my anticipation with everything including my wrists That's all That's all cool. I love the whole bow how he Settles here. It looks back and I love the timing of the head All right, so he comes down and goes, okay, what's over there? What's over there?  So he looks over there. I Will make this just this section here in his head Make that twice as fast and maybe like 30% bigger. So it's a very clear I'm checking checking checking. Oh, it's over there and this feels a bit soft. It's like, uh It's not as as Revealing as of a take it's more like a as opposed to oh, it's over there grabs the thing And that that will be my third part of here where When he comes to a stop here First watch out you got your spear aligning with his thigh. It's a bit funky just for What's it called the tangent and your silhouette gets a bit unified there So you want to have it potentially bring that arm up higher which will make him a bit more alert Which is fine and then you can bring up that spear just higher above the thigh And I think reaction wise Watching it now the way it works when it's acting everything is great I would the only thing I would do is it takes that step and I like how he goes up, right the whole body here goes up, but it feels like your roots could be He's taking this step and he finishes that step by having his roots Actually here so imagine your your leg will come down to almost that far, right?  Hope that makes sense and Then So yeah, so he goes back of a root back and not just a rotate out of this And it was hiding hiding. Oh, what's this? I love this. I love also the timing here. How you go? It's kind of that lean over checking Is it good? Okay, it's safe and I love this has kind of okay one two and it's that that hop Into getting ready Okay, and I love the pause and I love the timing of the of the swing here Do and I love how it continues almost a couple steps And then how you go back with the root is that type of movement back that I'm talking about Here right so it's not just stop and rotate up But it's the it's that point of the roof being almost here and then going back here But again, you rest it and it checks and it's so good. It's a it's a huge Huge change from last time last time where you really nailed the timing and the acting and It's great contrast and big moves fast moves Yeah, it's about it. It's super cool. It's it's really really neat progress there Love it all all the steps there and love how that little foot slides forward If I pick you you could say that the angle position of the foot is kind of the same as it moves forward So you can imagine that at the end You know if it's if your foot Your thingy here and then your foot comes down to that, right? Imagine that it rotates this way so that when you move the whole foot forward The tip kind of drags it moves a bit back, right? So you don't have So you doesn't feel like that's a picture that you're moving forward So there's more dimension and more Perspective change as you move that foot forward as a for the slide then it brings it down here Okay, super cool. Thank you All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want You can submit whatever you want you get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


In the latest episode of the Just Say No series, we explain why primitive drug policies don't work. Now we present you an alternative approach to drugs and people who use them based on the principles of harm reduction. Harm reduction is not only applicable to drugs, but to several other activities involving high risk. For example, it's also harm reduction when you drive a car and you fasten your seatbelt. Or when you ride a bicycle and you wear a helmet. Similarly, you can provide people who use drugs with sterile needles and syringes to prevent blood-borne infections such as hepatitis C or HIV. This is called needle exchange. Or you can prescribe opioid medications such as methadone or even diacetylmorphine, which is the medical form of heroin to heroin-dependent people to prevent them from buying dangerous drugs in the black market. This is called opiate substitution treatment and it is not only effective in improving the health and well-being of patients, but also in reducing crime. We can train people how to use naloxone, an antidote that can reverse the effects of heroin overdose to save lives. We can test illegal drugs for adulterants to prevent accidental poisoning. This is called drug-checking service. We can create hygienic and safer environments where people can use their own drugs with sterile equipment under medical supervision so we can prevent overdoses and infections. This is called drug-consumption rule. Harm reduction can not only reduce the negative consequences of drug use itself, but also the harms of repressive drug policies. It's also harm reduction when we mobilize the communities of vulnerable drug users and empower them to fight for their rights. Harm reduction is often contrasted with abstinence and recovery, but that's not true. They are not opposites. For some people abstinence might be the only right choice, but other people may not be ready or they don't want to quit drug use. Most people who use drugs are not dependent and dependence is often associated with childhood trauma, social marginalization and poverty. When you ask a person who lives on the street to quit drug use, it's like asking someone to go to the stone without an umbrella or remove his head in the desert. Harm reduction is also essential for long-time recovery. These programs reach out drug users on the street. They serve as the first step to other services, therefore they need to be part of an integrated drug treatment system. Harm reduction as a philosophy is based on compassionate pragmatism. This means that we would like to help people where they are at as fellow citizens in need of help, treating them with respect, without shaming or judging them. Countries that moved away from repressive drug policies and provide a wide access to harm reduction programs to drug users could significantly reduce deaths and suffering related to drugs. In the next episodes of Just Say No, we will provide you examples of how. Stay with us, follow us on the Drug Reporter website, on our Facebook and Twitter channels and support us so we can do videos like this one.


Now, let us look at the mucoid degeneration of antidecruciate ligament. Now, in mucoid degeneration, there is accumulation of musinous material within the ligament and as a result of which the ligament can have three different appearances. One is a predominantly mucoid ACL where the ligament itself is very much hyper intense and bulky. The other one is mucoid ACL along with cystic degeneration or there is a ganglion cyst which is forming at the femoral attachment along with mucoid degeneration of ACL. And the third one is a predominantly cystic type where you can see a large ganglion cyst at the femoral attachment where the ligament fibers themselves do not show much of degeneration changes. Now, how do you differentiate a mucoid ACL from an ACL tear? In ACL tear, if you draw lines like this along the fibers, you will see that there is a complete disruption or a discontinuity in the line and there will be a fluid signal intensity in this region which is nothing but a tear. In case of a mucoid ACL, you can actually identify the fibers all along so you will not see any disruption of these lines just that the lines will appear more fuzzy but you can appreciate them very well. So this is nothing but your mucoid ACL. In a mucoid ACL, you need to mention the grade of degeneration which is mainly on eyeballing so this is your mild degeneration, this is moderate and this is your marked mucoid degeneration. In mucoid ACL, you tend to develop ganglionsis at multiple levels. So in this patient, there is a multi-loculated ganglion cyst at the femoral attachment. This patient has an intrasubstance ganglion cyst formation and if you will see that one of the bundle is very good. So this is actually a mucoid ACL involving a single bundle and there is an intrasubstance ganglion cyst and in this patient, there is a small ganglion cyst forming at the femoral attachment as well as at the tbl attachment. So you need to mention at what level you are seeing the ganglion cyst. Also, in mucoid degeneration, as I have already told you, there is accumulation of miscellaneous material. Now this miscellaneous material tends to take the path of least resistance. Sometimes, when the ligament itself provides a lot of resistance, this miscellaneous material enters into the bone and hence what you get is introspecistic changes. So here this patient has introspecistic changes at the femoral attachment, here there is at the tbl attachment and this patient predominantly has some small cystic changes as you can see over here but mainly there is a lot of marrow edema at the tbl attachment of ACL. Now when the mucoid degeneration or the accumulation of miscellaneous material happens rapidly, this miscellaneous material will go enter rapidly into the bone and there won't be a time for development of a cyst. Instead, it will result into bone marrow edema changes that is the bone will give some reaction to it. So, if you see a mucoid degenerated ACL and the bone marrow edema at the tbl or femoral attachment, please keep in mind that this can happen with mucoid degeneration before labeling it into as some other pathology. So this is an x-ray of a patient, an api radiograph and what you can see is a lytic area at the intercondylar eminence with sclerotic margins. Now this patient was actually reported as an incontromine, this patient had come for a biopsy but when we looked at the MRI images also on MRI it was reported as an incontromine but if you see there is a degenerated ACL and these are nothing but multi-loculated introspecistic changes at the tbl attachment of ACL. So the biopsy was not done on this patient and therefore this is very important to keep in mind that please remember there is an entity like an introspecistic changes that happens with ACL and it should not be labelled as some other pathology like a tuber or something because the patient will land up with further investigations. So in any mucoid ACL report you need to mention the status of the ligament that is what is the grade of the degeneration, the ganglion cyst if there is any and at what level it is and the introspecistic changes. Thank you for watching the video and I hope by now you've got an idea how to differentiate between mucoid degeneration of ACL and ACL injuries. We'll be coming soon with the video on posterior cruciate ligament pathologies and in the meantime if you like the video please hit the like button and put in the queries and comments in the comment section and we'll get back to you. Thank you and keep reporting.


From Santa Clara, California, it's theCUBE, covering Technovation World Pitch Summit 2019, brought to you by SiliconANGLE Media. Now, here's Sonya Tagare. Hi, and welcome to theCUBE. I'm your host, Sonya Tagare, and we're here at Oracle's Ag News Campus in Santa Clara, California, covering Technovation's World Pitch Summit 2019, a pitch competition in which girls from around the world develop mobile apps in order to create positive change in the world. With us today, we have Team Coco from Kazakhstan. Welcome. The members are Dilnaz Kamalova and Malika Buribayeva, Dana Yerlanova, and Lubav Duchenko. Welcome, and congratulations on being finalists. Thank you. So your app is called TECO. Can you tell us more about it? Yes, so TECO is a 3D mobile application which has augmented reality and is connected to the hardware, which is dedicated for the behavioral change of people so that they can become more conscious and friendly. And can you tell us more about how it works? Yes, of course. There is Luba who can explain this. Okay. So our application is about an astronaut who needs to save the planet. So firstly, there is a game in which a person needs to save his or her virtual Earth by solving some ecological problems in it so that he or she will be educated about real life scenarios. Also, we have a step counter which tracks your carbon footprint and encourages people to choose more friendly transportation options. Another way we make real impact is that we connect our application with special trash boxes in our city, all the locations are shown on the map, and coming to these places, user will see a trash box and then throw the garbage and then because he has thrown the garbage, he or she will get some points and her impact will be realized in augmented reality. Yeah. So what impact in society do you hope that this app will help change? Our app is a 3D mobile application and it's a game. That is why gamification and the augmented reality, which is AR, which is inside this game, is more visually and psychologically attractive to people and those challenges that we provide in a game are incentivized so that most of the people, when they accomplish their goals, they might have a certain profit out of it so that they can become more eco-friendly and gain benefits. This is how we want to make sure that people might change their behavior for the sake of ecology. That's awesome. So you're using essentially a game to incentivize people to make better choices in their everyday lives. That's great.  So Malika, will you explain this? Actually, there were before some eco-trash boxes in our school because the thing of ecological problems and recycling is one of the most talked about topics in Kazakhstan nowadays. And in our school, the students tried to make these eco-trash boxes but they were always empty because students wasn't incentivized to recycle the garbage and we tested our app in our school and we already launched it in our school and these apps incentivize our students and now these eco-trash boxes with our hardware are always full. So, yeah. That's awesome. So you already found some success with your app. Thank you. Do you think that this is a problem in the bigger community? Maybe Donna can tell. So we think that we started locally but we got to go globally. We think that eco-pollution, like pollution are global problem and we're trying to solve all over the world. So in our game, we have the whole world that you become an astronaut. So you should be aware for whole the problem that was happening in the earth. So we are trying to engage and educate people to be more global and to be more responsible for our planet and for our home. It sounds like everyone in the world should download that app. Yes. Do you hope to expand if you get the funding? Yes. We plan to expand not only in our country, Kazakhstan, and only locally but also globally and we would like to create the eco-friendly community across Central Asia since we want to make sure that eco-consciousness is global in our area. And what struggles have you faced trying to create this app? Probably there were some struggles and of course in the realization and the realization of technical part of this project and creating a business model since we are not very experienced in this kind of things. But since we have participated in the technology and we were immersed in this process and we were modified to motivate it, yeah. And we were motivated to learn all these things and acquire those skills. And this is why we became more experienced in this stuff. So right now, those struggles that we faced before are not longer a problem for us. So yeah, this is what we faced. So Technovation has definitely helped you improve your app. Yes, right. How else has Technovation helped you? Yeah. Probably someone else wants to answer this question. How has Technovation helped you or what skills have you learned from this journey? For example, one of the most important skills I guess is teamwork. Like after we started to work on the one project, we started to listen to each other. Technovation actually helped us to understand the opinions of other people and to understand the problems in our society. We started to dream bigger, to think bigger, wider, kind of that. That's amazing. And also, Technovation helped us to explore new companies, to be more like an open person, to come to the companies, ask about the help and not like be just like see the problems and trying to solve, trying to find a solution and to be the people of the world and be responsible for our planet, for what's happening in our local community and be aware of everything. And so I heard you guys had an amazing week. You went to Uber, you went to some other places. So can you tell us more about your week? You want to tell? So we went to amazing places in a Silicon Valley, in San Francisco, San Jose, and we so liked it, for example, Golden Gate Bridge and also the Alcatraz. So we are so impressed by their architecture, by the people, by the nature and we just expected a lot of and we just got this all the expectations come to the reality. And we hope that that kind of a dream will come true in our future and we're going to work in one of the big companies that were located here and all the universities. So how is it like going to the different tech companies and seeing it in real life? So we visited Uber company and Google Ventures and both we have seen people who work there and we're really impressed and we really like it, yeah. And I think so before like in my childhood, I dreamt to be in Silicon Valley, to go there and like meet people who are already working it and now like my dream came true. That's awesome and you get to see California and you might be able to win today. Maybe. So thank you so much for being on. I wish you all the best and I hope you have an amazing pitch tonight. Thank you so much. This has been Team Coco from Kazakhstan. I'm your host, Sonia Tagare. This is theCUBE. Stay tuned for more.


we all know arthritis is a global burden and patients actually don't have to suffer from crippling pain or deformity. We are there to help them. But before we tell what treatment we as orthopedic surgeons can do, patients can help themselves. They should take healthy diet, keep their weight down and do regular exercises to help their arthritic pain or delay their arthritis in the future. If they get crippling pain and they suffer from day to day pain, then they should see their doctor.


Basically, we provide all the communication assets to all the MSCs out here. We provide them with data services, radio services, as well as internet, both secure and non-secure, and basically we just provide an overall better command and control for the COC. They'll come in either in the morning or the evening, they'll make sure the shot is up to the satellite, they'll ensure the generators are full, check the grounds, do a general police call of the area, and troubleshoot any problems should they arise with basically the gear. They've all been doing a very good job. It's a little difficult. You know, you've got Marines who, the majority of the time, they have a civilian job. They may not be as fresh or as sharp on some of this gear, but they've all come together here and picked it up fairly quickly, which makes our job a lot easier out here.


Your coca-cola bottler presents Claudia based on the play and novels by Rose Franken Brought to you transcribed Monday through Friday by your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca-Cola Relax and while you're listening refresh yourself have a coke and now Claudia Oh Claudia Claudia, I'm not staying. I'm going home as you very well. No I have no intention of coming between you and your interior decorator What do you think I am just another roll of wallpaper that he stuck up anywhere you two want we too. Don't want anything I haven't even met my interior decorator. I'm sure you'll get along fine, and I just be in the way mommy You can't go. How are you going to tell him that I don't want him?

Mr. Mr. Hillary.  How can I tell him that we don't want an interior decorator? I suppose there's a good reason why you can't say just that don't you understand Julia told him We did want him does that make a difference Of course it makes a difference Well, I can see this is so complicated that I'm of no possible help to you. I'm going home to feed my parrot Oh, I wish we'd never given you that parrot every time you have to do something you don't want to do you suddenly start thinking about him He's a perfect alibi. Well, I'm tired of being your perfect alibi Besides, I think maybe you ought to have an interior decorator now You sound more like Julia because I think you ought to have somebody help you and I know David will want you too You don't know David at all. He'll feel just the way I do and the arrival of your friend Mr. Hillary isn't going to delay me more than one minute. Please mama when you tell Mr. Hillary We don't want him. Please try to be polite Mrs. Norton I presume Mrs. David Norton. Yes, I'm Mrs. Norton and I bet you're Mr. Hillary. I trust your wages are always so successful Mrs. Norton I am he indeed You're sure it isn't him. I beg your pardon. No, I guess you'd know wouldn't you? I'm not quite sure. I Understand Mr. Hillary. This is my mother. Mrs. Brown. She was just coming. How do you do Mrs. Brown? How do you do Mr. Hillary? I'm afraid my daughter's a trifle confused She meant to say that I'm just going but I'm glad to have had this chance to meet you I'm taking dinner to a cranky friend. I'll see you tomorrow, dear Would it only take a moment Mrs. Brown? Only a few sketches. That appears to be rather a large folder Mr. Hillary Oh, I did bring a few renderings I made for some of my other country clients the riddles and the frilling hyzens and the pines I'd love to see them some other time. Goodbye, Mr. Hillary. Goodbye, Claudia Well, Mrs. Norton, so this is your town place It isn't very big is it? Oh, I'm sure you'll be much more comfortable in your new home in Eastbrook on the river road Did Mrs. Harton Norton say yes? Yes, it is delightful part of the world Did a little place up that way last year for Ethan frilling hyzen 32 rooms 32 rooms. Oh, but some of them were quite small. Well, I'm afraid our house isn't like that at all Your sister knows described it to me. That's what enabled me to make the sketches Oh, you've made them already just a hint of what I'd like to do with this place I've been screaming to do something like this for years But my friends insist on settling in such vast and chilly places that I haven't had the chance to try it You mean you know it's a little place? My dear, I understand it's a miniscule It's what? A miniscule It's tiny a compact charming.  Yes, and I want you to look at these drawings merely as a suggestion Has the guess a mere intuition of the final result. Oh The final result will always astound you Mrs. Norton because once my client has given me an insight into her requirement I am adamant You're what? I forbid my ladies to enter my establishment from the day I'm engaged the final responsibility is mine. I Want no watering down of my conception. No haggling. No Interference you must trust completely a mrs. Norton Will you trust me? Well, I don't know what to say. I mean Do I have to trust you now? It's it's getting awfully late. Mr. Hillary. Couldn't we do this some other time my husband? Oh husbands The natural peril of my craft mrs. Norton, but I anticipate them every Hillary house has one husband room Indestructible letter a designed like an old shoe my husband likes old pipes better Me David you're home. How are you? Isn't that nice? So is mr. Hillary? Oh this mr. Hillary You might as well introduce us. I'm Channing Hillary. I'm David Norton. How do you do mr. Norton? How do you do I was just about to show mrs. Norton several Suggestions of a shadow of an idea that crossed my mind for your new home in Eastbrook. You mean you're thinking of decorating Our house your sister-in-law mrs. Hartley Norton suggested that I might be interested Mr. Norton and speaking quite frankly I rules to the idea like a salmon Well, I didn't know that Claudia my wife had considered having a decorator my dear mr. Norton The sort of thing one really doesn't have to consider any more than than one would have to consider calling the Doctor in the event of pneumonia David. I meant you don't have to apologize Claudia as a matter of fact I was going to suggest it, but I didn't know how you would like the idea. I'm sorry. I didn't get a chance. I mean Isn't my idea?  I thought you'd agree.  I like bargains mr. Norton I forbid my ladies to enter a shop Does high fits allow his audience to set his tempos or will Helen Hayes permit prompting from the seventh row as a husband? I applaud you as an architect. I envy you my dear mr. Norton It's really a question of temperament. I terrorize my clientele you do I've been known to dash rare china to the floor To silence a client's conversation Well, I've often wanted to do that with one of my clients factories once we've agreed on a master plan I want nothing from the householder, but money. Well, I think this is going to work out just fine Claudia why don't we look at mr. Hillary sketches? You mean you really want to do it this way David under the circumstances. I think it's a fine idea What are we waiting for? You don't want me to go around and pick up things and go shopping or anything Darling, I I don't mean that you wouldn't do it beautifully. I mean with the baby and moving I think it's a little too much for you. You're sure you don't mean that I wouldn't do it the way you want Mr. Hillary darling is known as one of the best decorators in New York my dear mr. Norton I've worked also in Florida Chicago, Kentucky and California. Oh, I'm sorry mr. Hillary. Let me amend that He is one of the finest if not the finest decorator in the country But darling, I'd rather live in a house that you decorated any time. That is any other time You mean that David? I do and I don't think mr. Hillary will fail to understand that rather not Well, I think it's going to be wonderful to have mr. Hillary do the decorating then because there were some things that I Really didn't know what to do about the problems. I thrive on problems Well, I'm thinking about the turkeys You know David if we're going to raise turkeys behind the kitchen stove turkeys behind the kitchen stove Well, we may not we and I know they're going to run into the dining room and the living room And I don't know what mr. Hillary can do for carpets with turkeys pecking on them That is rather an unusual problem And then there's that terrible leak in the ceiling over the living room that we can't do anything about what leak is that? Darling we have to be frank with mr. Hillary. Don't we mr. Frankness isn't an essential and then there's a car shed right next to the dining room I don't know what he's going to do about that and the Victorian annex that Jared Tucker's uncle built in 1718 70 That's pretty built it very well. It fits right in with the rest of the house Oh, I know but I wonder how mr. Hillary feels about the mixture of colonial and Victorian Combination is somewhat less happy than tea and scones or as you would say scones No, I think I would say hot biscuits Mr. Hillary for the first three weeks we had the house I don't think my wife even noticed it the combination and then how are we going to fix up the guest room So the farm and his wife can live there if we can find a couple but we haven't found a couple yet Oh, I know but we still would have to have mr. Hillary designs. I'm kind of a compromise How do you feel about compromises mr. Hillary test them but miss Really, it isn't as bad. In fact, I I don't know that I do want more dogs David I insist upon keeping them in the house in the living room. Oh my Poodles I trust great day when Mrs. Hartley Norton described the place to me I don't think she quite realized and then we've got to have furniture that the children won't hurt drapes That the cats can't scratch a poster that the dogs can sit on rugs that the turkeys won't hurt Tables that the chickens won't hurt chairs that the cars won't break and and what are we gonna do about the room without windows?  I did you good afternoon, but mr. Hillary It is temperamental isn't it temperamental after the things you said about our house whatever made you talk that way I'll call him back tomorrow, and maybe we can get him to work for David now.  I knew what you were doing You were getting your arrival decorator out of the way because David I'm not always going to be having a baby and just till I can really get it furnished You wouldn't mind camping out with me on a couple of kitchen chairs in an old table I'd camp out with you without chairs Even if we had to eat off the man, and then we'll have so much fun decorating it ourselves later on Darling if that's what you want just bring on your mantle I won't have to darling because I know where I can get two marvelous kitchen chairs to start out with and David they're real bargains Oh Delicacies and special tidbits may be hard to come by these days But there's one special treat that's more plentiful, and it hasn't gone up in price either I'm referring as you may have guessed to coca-cola which still brings you the pause that refreshes for only five cents Your grocer or service station attendant will be glad to put a case in the car for you And there are always willing hands to unload that welcome refreshment when you get home Yes, miss Brown well, I I guess Claudia managed to get what she wanted again without hurting anybody's feelings All that daughter here seems to have a way of making things come out the way she wants them to I wish there was some way She could make us get rid of these cold days It's been a bad winter mrs. Brown But I can tell you that your daughter will end it tomorrow with a little help from a man named Giuseppe Between the two of them spring weather will be here tomorrow just in time for Easter. Well, thanks, Mr.. King I hope you'll recognize me in my new spring hat. Oh, I'll recognize you anywhere mrs. Brown bug bye And as I was about to say Every day Monday through Friday Claudia comes to you transcribed with the best wishes of your friendly neighbor who bottles coca-cola So listen again tomorrow at the same time And now this is Joe King saying or a bar and remember whoever you are Whatever you do Wherever you may be When you think of refreshment Think of coca-cola or ice-cold coca-cola makes any pause the pause that refreshes This broadcast of Claudia was supervised and directed by William Brown Maloney And now here's a word from your friendly neighbor who bottles coca-cola
