Get this and get it straight. Crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gut of the prison of the grave This time it started with a kid hawking papers on Hollywood Boulevard and moved from there to a house full of hate on a quiet street a Blonde liar on ice skates and a corpse in a burned-out shack And it all wound up right where it really began in the heart of the kid on the corner From the Pan of Raymond transfer outstanding author of crime fiction comes his most famous character in the adventures of Philip Marlowe Now with Gerald Moore starred as Philip Marlowe. We bring you tonight's exciting story the kid on the corner After a day jam full of heat waves in December Actresses who passed mascara and long A's off as talent And produces with glossy convertibles and holes in their shoes The world looked as phony as a $7 bill And when I finally closed my office stepped out on a Hollywood Boulevard into the glare from miles of sheet iron Christmas trees on lamppost trunks And watched a loud speaker Santa Claus neon reindeer trundle by in a cloud of artificial snow I'd have gladly traded all of Hollywood California for one quiet Vermont hillside And thrown my license into boot All of which convinced me that what Marlowe needed most was a martini in his own apartment a good book and a night's sleep in that order So I started home after them but only got as far as the middle of the street It was the kid who sold papers on the corner Okay, Tommy let's get out of the street first, huh? I'm not so good at dodging fenders Oh yeah, sure What's on your mind kid? That's about my uncle Bert, Bert Larson He's gone, Mr. Marlowe What about your family Tommy? Don't they know where he is? No, I don't have no family I've been living with Uncle Bert in a flat down in Van Ness Hey, if you haven't had your dinner yet, maybe you'd eat with me in the cafeteria, huh? It's real important to me, Mr. Marlowe Anything that's important to you kid is important to me, let's go in Oh, it's well I should have known something was wrong when I heard him walking around Late last night, you know, I said he was after a drink of water But he's got those metal plates, kind of like caps on his shoes I knew he was all dressed, only I was too sleepy to think anything about it then Maybe he just got an early start and he's been busy today, huh? It's not like that, Mr. Marlowe, something's wrong Well, you have gentlemen, the park's nice tonight Stu's the best deal for the money, Mr. Marlowe I'll have the stew, please Yeah, you better make it two, Miss Okay, a couple of stews coming up See, when I got up this morning, I found this envelope on the dresser It was 200 bucks inside and this was written on the front Let's see it Dear Tommy, must leave town on business, I'll send more money soon Be a good kid and take care of yourself, Uncle Bert Yeah, see what you mean Yeah, spent all day trying to find out where he went I checked everything but the airport I know he wouldn't take a plane, he gets dizzy just standing on a curb No luck though Milk, Mr. Marlowe? No, I'll have coffee, Tommy, I feel rugged And there's a table over in the corner, come on, huh? Okay What really makes it fishy is that Uncle Bert's got no out of town business Besides, he's never been out in front more than 20 bucks in his life I can't figure it Now look, Tommy, if you're really worried, you don't want me or to go to the police right away Cops? No, I can't Why not? Well, Uncle Bert's been awful good to me but Well, I guess he's really kind of a bum You see, he's a gambler, Mr. Marlowe, I'm booking Just a harmless small time is sure but I'd get him in an awful jam if I called the cops Would you try to find him for me? I got to, I'll pay you whatever you charge Don't worry about the money, Tommy I got one lead for you This name here in the back of the envelope, see? Yeah, Lester Carney And the number three thousand four and a half Does that mean anything to your kid? No, I don't look that guy at my cell phone You know how far a kid could get Mr. Marlowe, I'm sure my uncle didn't leave town It's something else, it's got to be He's in some kind of trouble Now, Tommy, you know that he might be on the wrong end of it, don't you? Yeah Well, if that's right, I want to find it out fast, Mr. Marlowe Here's a picture of him Scared, son Me scared? Nah, not for myself anyway Yeah Yeah, I guess I am kind of Okay, Tommy, eat your dinner and get back to work I'll see what I can find out, huh? I padded my new client on the shoulder And left the cafeteria But I was sure of one thing That dry rot that gets to most people in Hollywood Wouldn't touch a hard working kid named Tommy Lawson Was already smarter at fifteen And a lot of citizens get at fifteen I stopped in a phone booth And found the name Lester Carney Listed in the book at 8110 Cherokee Street That turned out to be an oversized California Spanish model, is it? And lots of old fashioned wealth to boon Halfway up the curving walk to the already open front door I heard the voices All right, so that's the way you feel I don't want to end it half another night Well, I'm sorry, mom, but I don't think it's fine In telling lies, it's a part of the main thing I'm leaving But I would like to know about my back salary first You will come get your back salary, my girl Don't worry about that, now get out Very well, mom Excuse me, sir Oh, yeah, sure It is not Would you mind telling me where I can locate him? I don't know And I don't care anymore Just a minute, just a minute Is he with Bert Lawson, maybe? I don't know what you're talking about Now get out of here And good night to you too, Mrs. Carney Hey, hey, Susan Just a minute, baby Who are you calling, baby?  Well, now that that's established Oh, there's going to be trouble in that house Well, good night, Mr. Carney Wait a minute, I'll give you a lift in the car Let me have your bag Well, all right Thank you Say, what about that trouble you spoke of, Susan? What did you mean? It's Mrs. Carney Julie, she isn't as pretty as she used to be She's turned a rancid She's driven that poor husband of hers out of his mind He almost never comes home nowadays Isn't he studio? Studio? What kind? Photography It's way up in the Hollywood Hills some place Susan, did you ever hear either of them mention of Bert Lawson? No Why, who's he? A gambler I gather from Julie that Carney's blowing the family fortune Sure he is And that's not our sister in him too No, what else? What do you think? Another woman, of course Did he show? Yeah, I've been there, does Mrs. Carney know? Oh, she suspects That's why she wants me to spy on But I wouldn't because I don't blame him one bit Not with Julie, you feel like she is Yeah, maybe you're right, Susan Then again, maybe you've got your cause in effect backward, huh? Yes I don't know anything about that But that poor man's been driven so crazy He's threatened to kill her Well, here's what I get out And stay out Susan offered the car stop and headed out Sunset Boulevard for westward in the club called the Igloo which looked more like a down-at-the-heel Taj Mahal than an Eskimo's bedroom Inside a line of fast-moving ostrich plumes with rye-crisp waistlines and imitation sabers zipped over a short sheet of tinted ice toward the climax of chorus numbers while I bluffed my way backstage and intimidated the callboy into sending over one Carol King She turned out to be left in in the lineup out front so I sat down on a cold trunk and felt and I got up to greet an athletic blonde with more than healthy face Lucidal dubiously taught me ice skates and all and I introduced myself and told her I was looking for Bert Lawson Why are you looking for Bert Lawson, Mahalo? Well, because people say he's disappeared Now, I know he's a bookie you don't have to protect him on that score and I'm no cop Just want to know where he's gone Okay Here he made a real killing yesterday the first one in his life I'm going to make a book for you from now on Nobody, I never play the voices My friends do Oh, friends like Lester Carney Well, now we get down to business You smell like you're working for a wife, Shamas Yes, again, sugar I'm after Bert Lawson, nothing else That's why I want to talk to your friend Where is he? Lester Carney is no friend of mine You know you should be smart enough to know you're just wasting your time with that picture Look, bud, he was my friend, sure but that's all off as of an hour ago Why, do you run out of blank checks? I ought to bust your shin wide open for that Keep those gates on the floor, honey They skip the cracks I threw him out because I got sick and tired of waiting He kept me on the string for months with nothing but promises Said he hated his wife but when it comes down to cases he refused to leave her I don't know I got some hold over and he hasn't nerve enough to break So I wrapped him up in a neat little bundle and sent him home That was a mess Now, Bert, between you and Julia he must be in a great frame of mind tonight That's his problem now, brother, not mine What is yours? How to keep your life on ice? No, I guide For your information, I'm quitting this show I'm gonna make a clean break all along Happy landings But look, what's the connection between Lawson and Carney? Why, Mr. Marlowe, I have no idea Isn't that wonderful? Okay, sugar, that's where we'll leave it for now But in making that clean break I had nothing tangible to base it on but as I left the igloo and drove back to Hollywood for some reason I kept thinking that Tommy Lawson was right that his uncle was still in town and in some kind of trouble and I was sure that at least half of Carol King's story had been lies but why I couldn't forget and another idea hit me and hit me hard I turned on the Cherokee again and drove up to Carney's house at 8110 Park and went in There the vague hunch began to shape because the front door was wide open and spilling a pale glow from the one light in the house, the hall lamp I saw the note propped under the lamp even before I went in I left it where it was It said to whom it may concern I have paid all my just debts my affairs are in order and since life has been made intolerable for me I have destroyed that which made it so my wife, Julia I was nothing left to dispose of myself nor am I sorry less to come I looked at the other note and saw her lying at the edge of the circle of light from the lamp Julia had been strangled by a silk cord that was still embedded in her swollen throat I turned and started to the poem There we are I got here a little too late, huh? Or is it too soon? My wife said what's the difference? I stand still because I'll shoot fast Who are you and what are you doing here? Name's Marlowe and I assume you're Carney Alright, I'm a private detective trying to find Bert Lawson I got mixed up in your little fiasco from one end to the other Bert Lawson That's a cheap book, Nigger One of the very few people who ever gave me a fair break Where is he, Carney? Do you know? No, it doesn't matter You better do it in here just now I'm gonna do what I've decided to do with the most personal private affair It's your party Maybe you better take it all over again I've already thought it over thoroughly Turn around and walk to that door to the kitchen Go on Sure, sure Alright, stop there Now, open that door and you're right This one? Yes Years ago that cellar was filled with the best wines the world had door What happens?  Find out for yourself Marlowe! In just a moment the second act to fill up Marlowe But first, will Tyrone Power listen to Jack Benny's siren song? Will Ty consent to portray CBS's great Sunday Night musician and lover in the movie The Life of Jack Benny? Tune in tomorrow and find out No, there's never a question about the quality and quantity of comedy and sheer entertainment on CBS on Sunday Night And remember, the Jack Benny show has heard on all of these CBS stations Now with our star Gerald Moore we return to the second act to fill up Marlowe and tonight's story, The Kid on the Corner Lester Connie, bouncing the private detective down the cellar's stairs had been rough on both the inner and outer man and my Joe was bleeding where his heavy signatory had connected I was back on my feet through the dusty jumble of barrels and boxes over to a grimy side window and finally, out onto the street I found neither confessed killer nor car any place in sight which made my next step a return trip into the house and I called Lieutenant Matthews Alright, honey, to that ice skater I mean now that I follow but the why I don't Where's the connection between the news boys uncle and this guy who say is on the way out Lester Connie Matthews, I don't know You don't know, you're not saying which Phil Well, maybe it's a little of each Now look, Lieutenant, I Just a second What is it, Marlowe? All the wire, will you Matthews? Okay, but make it snappy, will you Phil? Three thousand four and a half, look last month Three thousand four and a half I can't hear you, Phil I've got an address on it the same address that was on the back of the envelope tell me it's uncle left for him Well, this address could be the connection I asked you about Yeah, the hook between Uncle Bert and the Connie's Well, we'll get right over there And Matthews, wait a minute, let me try it alone first Well, yeah, I think it will play better that way And keep the kids uncle out of the police line up that way Uh-uh, Marlowe, I can't Now, wait a minute, Matthews, please I'm thinking of the kid Okay, just don't make it too long until I hear from you Three thousand block on North Rossmore wasn't even close to the Hollywood Hills which meant that the address couldn't be the dilettante photographer studio that the Connie's ex made it described And twenty minutes later when I was out of my car and standing next to the doorbell mark three thousand four and a half I knew something else because the name underneath was Carol King A light showed from someplace deep inside and my leaning on the doorbell only proved that it worked There was no answer at three thousand four and a half but three thousand four, the other twin to the duplex was different It featured a sweet old lady who shattered the illusion the second she opened her mouth I suppose you're just another one of that king girl's friends, eh? Why do I look the type, Granny? There is no type, young man Miss Carol King entertains all sorts Oh, which might include a recent someone who's gray at the temple's short and maybe talks a lot about the ponies Huh? How would I know what I guess to talk about?  I knew it I knew it, she had to come to a bad end Well, hold it, hold it, Granny Carol is not the one who's dead Oh, eh Well, I'm glad Sticks out all over you Now, look, what about that man? Well, he was here about 30 minutes ago just the two of them drinking that hard liquor like it was water and making enough noise to raise the devil itself a farewell party, they called it Oh, did you see him leave? No, no, Henry made me come in then and I, well, I mean I know what you mean, you missed it Okay, Granny, now look Come on, sweetheart, it's important There may be a body inside A body? Oh, well, how awful, here Over here, behind the sledge Always kept a spare key Yes, yes, there it is You do it, I'm too shaky It shouldn't be I was thinking, tomorrow, Granny, in the news you'll have for one and all The light switches is on your right there See anything? How many rooms here? Bedroom, kitchen, and bath No You suspect foul play, all right, don't you? The foulest Don't let it worry you because Hey, those photos there on the wall They're taken from Mulholland Drive, aren't they? One by day, one by night both in the same spot, the Hollywood Hill Sure, sure, that's where he has a studio That's Lester Fellow Granny, do you know where it is? I mean Mulholland Drive and where? You know, that street runs for miles along the top of the mountain and raised here in Los Angeles Granny, where? Mulholland and where? Mulholland, the Laurel Canyon Boulevard Just out of the intersection Thank you, sweetheart, and goodbye Wait, one moment now, you please What's your name, officer? I know my right, your name and your division Granny, dear, I'm no cop I said I'm no cop Oh, not a police officer, well Then who are you? Just a passerby A stranger in the night Good night, Granny He did at least worrying about the matter which way things played But when I was on the strip of McCatham that twists its way upward toward Mulholland Drive like a snake writhing from a long, long belly ache I forgot about both client and relatives alike because at the top and a little to the south where Granny had said it would be was Lester County's studio, all right but burned to the ground You like my way to go fast, don't you? Yeah, it wasn't 20 minutes on this one Hey, mister, where are you going? Some of that metal stuff's still pretty hot Who are you, with a lock? Oh, chief, I'm a private detective named Mulholland I was wondering if Lester County was caught in there He owned this shack I know, was your friend of yours? No, it's strictly business, he's wanted for murder Yeah, he was wanted for murder, Phil He was burnt to a crisp in there Hello, Matthews Well, what's your guess, he started on purpose? Oh, suicides hardly ever burn themselves to death No, no, he probably took some sleeping pills or poison and then a cigarette he left going did this, you know And tonight you think he might recognize him?  I just found out about this place Yeah, but you work alone, Mulholland I got help Oh, there it is See anything? Yeah, that ring, I noticed it earlier And the watch? I'm not sure, I don't remember what kind of... Hey, Matthews What are you staring at, Phil?   It's an idea Like this isn't suicide after all, like it's murder, Matthews Come on, we're gonna get to our phone quick Look, miss, this is important I'm calling for Detective Lieutenant Matthews What passenger flights have left in the last half hour? passenger flights? Nothing out of the country Wait a minute, Matthews Yeah, hurry, will you please? Hey, Matthews, that's maybe it I'm glad for you Look, your 10-10 flight from Manila Is it going out on schedule? Oh, then tell me this Is there a passenger aboard named Bert Larson? Hurry, will you? Will you hold it, Matthews? Oh, good Keep in there and don't let that plane get up in the air Do you hear? The man's wanted for murder But don't do anything else either Just let him sit and wait for us, you got that? Yes, sir, I understand Fine, we'll be there as soon as we can, goodbye Come on, Matthews, it's your show from here on in Sirens included Okay, Milo, okay, enough So we're on our way to the airport We're gonna catch her, kill everything is great But first, how do things add up? Mooney, take it easy Five seconds more or less, never yet turn the trick Okay, Lieutenant Were you saying something, Matthews? Yeah, yeah, I'm saying Look, Lester Connie killed his wife, right? Right, why? Because he wanted her out of the way So that he and a cheap little monster named Carol King Can live happily ever after Oh, the boss wouldn't do that for him, huh? No, Mooney! Oh, I don't think so Probably because Julia Connie had a real tight grip On the purse strings Maybe something more like it's not very nice pass for a guest Yeah, yeah, but the purse strings, the money That's where Bert Larson figures in, huh? A bookie with a client Who knew about Connie and Carol King He must have stopped by once To pick up or pay off a bed at the right time Yeah, and from there, what? And from there, the team of Carol and Lester killed Lester's wife Yeah, which we've covered But not in detail, now listen You see, after the murder Lester planned to kill himself Yeah Or at least make it look like that A suicide note, the Mulholland studio burned down the works Yeah, yeah, on the body we found That's an added attraction Bert Larson included in the last minute What? The Whiteman and the Blackfielder? That's the way he thought That he was going to get paid off in money Head up to Mulholland Drive Ring watch and flames added Oh, and then out here at the airport headed for Manila Lester, Connie Hey, Mooney, we're getting close You better kill the siren Now, Phil, how do you know all this? I mean the switch, you know, what makes it so? That piece of metal I burned my fingers on, Matthew It was a tap from a shoe And Bert Larson wore taps The rest of it adds from there Yeah, including Connie Sure, who'd be looking for a beat up second rate book You decided to leave town Aside from a nephew, that is Yeah, aside from a nephew who tried every place but the airport Uncle Bert couldn't stand planes The brakes, Matthews Oh, here we are Yeah, just you and me and Mooney And a killer Aren't you coming, Phil? No, I think I'll wait here, Matthews I got some thinking to do About this scum you're sometimes meeting at night? No But the kind of a kid I almost never meet at night All right, come on, Mooney Maybe our boy will make a break for it, I hope Lester Connie didn't make a break for it And now a later when they picked up Carol, Kingen was the same thing Each of them was surly ugly, but they talked Someone I finally left police headquarters Where I tried as he would for Tommy's sake Matthews had found it impossible To skip over Bert Larson's connection as a blackmailer I was pushing midnight and I was dog tired I was something worse than that When I was back on the corner in my office Walking toward Tommy Larson Untying a stack of fresh newspapers Then the headline Read all about it Hollywood killer nav Blackmailing bookie jealous wife slain Hiya, kid Hiya, Mr. Marlowe Kind of Matthews tells me you had kind of a rough night Kind of? When'd you talk to him, Tommy? After the first edition hit the street I wanted to know if you were okay The story didn't say But, publicity no good for your business, huh? Not much But kid, did the lieutenant say anything about you? I mean, no They were the neighbor Friend of Uncle Bert's He had friends, you know He wasn't really bad at heart, Mr. Marlowe Not really I believe that So do I, Tommy He was just mixed up Yeah You know why? The way he thought the world owed him a living That's why I couldn't tell him otherwise Excuse me, Mr. Marlowe I gotta get going Thanks a lot You were swell Sure Extra Bookie and babe slain and Hollywood triangle Two dead and Hollywood slain Extra Extra There's nothing more pathetic than a kid The first time he's really slapped down by life We, the older ones The tired ones Learned to roll with a punch Because we've got time in our corner Watching us, counseling us Teaching us how to save ourselves So that the final gong we're Still on our feet But a kid A kid steps into life's arena Expecting to find his opponents All he was taught to believe they would be But instead he finds the old one, too Below the belt But if here he finds a good guy And there, a great girl The going suddenly becomes Not so well The fight becomes worth it If only to help the next generation of Tommy's Find their ring a little cleaner And the break's not quite so tough The Adventures of Philip Marlowe Bringing you Raymond Chandler's most famous character Star Gerald Moore And are produced and directed by Norman McDonald Script is by Robert Mitchell and Gene Levin Featured in the cast were Gil Stratton Jr. Virginia Gregg Wilms Herbert Detective Lieutenant Matthews is played by Larry Dubkin The special music is composed and conducted by Richard Oran Be sure and be with us again next week When Philip Marlowe says It started with laughter on a bright morning In a battle over a chicken And got better as it went along It could have lasted a lifetime But it didn't It stopped on a gray morning With a little wishbone broken Stay tuned now for Gangbusters Which follows immediately on most of these same CBS stations This is Roy Rowan speaking This is CBS The Columbia Broadcasting System


Cultural sensitivity in the classroom, focus on teaching English to non-native speakers. Today's classroom is a global entity and unless appropriately addressed, issues of cultural diversity have the potential to severely diminish the success of even the most dedicated teachers and promising students. In order to promote an atmosphere that enables all students to be successful in learning English and the ESL, English as a second language, classroom, it is critical that each student feels safe, respected and appreciated. In today's diverse and multicultural climate, this sensitivity has never been more important. In many countries, the administration of schools and learning centers, principals, superintendents, etc., recognize the importance of cultural sensitivity in the classroom. This is ideal and often policies to promote this concept are developed as a baseline for expected and accepted behavior. It is important to respect these policies and incorporate these strategies within the classroom as they will prove to be of great value to both teachers and students. Creating an environment to promote cultural sensitivity. Not all school boards provide a cultural sensitivity policy though, so it is important for the teacher to create an environment and curriculum to promote an atmosphere that will drive the highest levels of student success in their classroom. By recognizing and celebrating cultural diversity, the teacher can significantly improve student experiences and the ability to learn English. This holds true for all levels of classes, from young children to adults. One needs to feel safe, valued and included. Showing concern for the language and cultural issues of the individuals and various cultural groups will help increase the student's level of English fluency. An inclusive curriculum needs to ensure that all students are given the opportunity to participate in all aspects of the classroom as much as possible. At the same time, it needs to respect the unique differences various students' cultures, or cultural groups, may exhibit.  The teacher will find it helpful to incorporate these unique cultural differences in their lesson planning. Each component of the ESA, Engage, Study and Activate, activities lends themselves quite readily to the inclusion of cultural topics and factors. Topics familiar to students will inspire them to open up and participate more readily. Creating Culturally Diverse Lesson Plans Including culturally diverse material provides easily understood reference points to some students and increases the knowledge and awareness of the students from different cultures. An example of this involves popular TV shows, videos, and music. Consider that your high school classroom is made up primarily of Vietnamese and Korean students. Although the world seems to be getting smaller, there are TV shows and games in Vietnam that may not be common in Korea and vice versa. It would be helpful for the teacher to incorporate examples of appropriate TV shows and videos from both cultures into their lesson plans. Using these strategies in the lesson plan allows students to understand their cultural differences and the areas where they share mutual interests. For instance, music seems to be a global phenomenon and can often unite multiple cultures. Even if they don't speak English, many students of different cultures know the words of many of the globally popular English songs. Demonstrating Your Cultural Understanding and Acting Accordingly Another way a teacher can demonstrate cultural sensitivity is to understand the issues of the culture and how they might manifest themselves in the class. This could involve the manner of dress of a teacher, short skirts for female teacher taboos, whether the class groups should include both male and female students, gender sensitivities, or even things native English speakers might not consider, such as crossing your legs while sitting. It will definitely be an important consideration during times of religious observances and popular cultural events. Guidelines surrounding attendance may need to be adjusted during important religious or cultural events. The teacher will usually be the primary person to foster an environment of inclusiveness and tolerance in the classroom. Simple things such as encouraging everyone to learn how to pronounce the names of each student properly will help students feel valued. Recognizing and discussing key religious ceremonies for various cultures also enables understanding and inclusiveness. Understanding all students to understand and affirm everyone's beliefs and customs will help increase confidence and acceptance in the classroom. When students feel good about themselves, they are more likely to stay engaged and excited about their learning and successes. Students with diverse cultural backgrounds will benefit considerably from the support of students from other cultures. Throughout these discussions, the students are practicing their English and improving vocabulary. The teacher simply needs to ensure discussions are incorporated into the lesson plan. The little bit of extra work and creativity will be a huge benefit to all students. Are you ready to teach English as a foreign language? Cultural sensitivity in the classroom is extremely important to student success. An appropriate focus on this key aspect of the classroom enables students to learn more effectively by feeling safe, included and respected. Affirmation from the teacher and classmates is as important, if not more, than their individual grades at the end of the semester.  The administration, the teacher and the students all have the ability to positively affect the impact of this critical issue. Once all stakeholders embrace this important concept, the atmosphere of the classroom will be set for student success.

I joined MSL Group in North America because of the great talent that we have, the great clients we work with and the great work we're doing. I was very excited when I drove up to the Boston office today because there's a massive MSL Group logo on the building and that's the first one I've seen in North America. So that was a terrific first look at this office. The Boston healthcare and tech practice is a huge important, not just in Boston but for the MSL Group offices across North America and globally. So I'm convinced that you should always be learning. And one of the things I love about visiting offices is to get everyone's point of view on what's important, what they see we can be doing better. I met with several teams already, it seemed like very fun. But on the business side, very successful, great revenues, working with great clients and really specializing in some areas that are the future for MSL Group. Earlier today I said that MSL Group is the agency of the future and I said that because I wanted to contrast us to some of the more older, traditional agencies that we compete with. We at MSL Group have digital and social strengths that no other agency can offer to our clients. The two most important things for me about MSL Group are our talent and our clients. What I'd like to see in a year is our talents having fulfilling careers and talking about that with family, colleagues, friends and others in the industry. We'd like to see our clients recognizing the great work that we already do for them and working with us to provide even more creative and innovative services for them.


Welcome to lecture number 28 of the course quantum mechanics and molecular spectroscopy ok. In the last class we are looking at the transient movement integral for the rotational transitions. So, what T m i was was equal to y j prime m prime theta phi mu naught and anyway it is y j double prime m double prime theta and phi ok. Now I told you that y j prime m double prime the double prime will belong to the initial state y j prime m prime will belong to final state. So, single prime represents a final state and double prime represents the initial state. Now of course, if you consider the molecule AB and this is some direction R then it could be R could be pointing in any direction along x, y, z. So, your mu naught will be equal to mu naught along x axis into i vector which is a unit vector along x axis plus mu naught to y along y axis where j is the unit vector plus mu naught z to k vector that is the unit vector. So, this i, j, k are unit vectors along x, y, z axis ok. Now so your T m i will now become y j m theta phi mu naught x i plus mu naught y j plus mu naught z k along the electric field vector y j prime m double prime. Now the problem here is these are in viles ok, these are in spherical polar coordinates, these are in Cartesian coordinates. So, one has to express your mu naught in terms of Cartesian, spherical polar coordinates. Therefore, one can write mu naught is equal to mu naught into x i plus mu naught y j plus mu naught z k will be equal to mu naught into x is nothing but sin theta cos phi in spherical coordinates x is equal to sin theta cos phi y is equal to sin theta sin phi and z is equal to cos theta. So, this is from the conversion of spherical polar coordinates into Cartesian coordinates cos phi to i plus sin theta sin phi j plus cos theta ok. Now this is the modified mu naught mu naught in terms of mu naught terms of spherical polar. Now therefore, your T m i can now be written as y j prime m prime theta phi. So, your mu naught is now sin theta cos phi sin theta sin phi plus cos theta k whole thing along the epsilon y j prime m prime theta and phi. So, that is your transition moment integral ok. Now but this integral has to be integrated over spherical polar coordinates. So, if I write the integral this will become integral actually double integral 1 over theta and 1 over phi y j prime m prime theta and phi of theta and phi multiplied by sin theta cos phi i plus sin theta sin phi j plus cos theta k y j double prime m double prime theta and phi sin theta d theta d phi. Because the volume element in polar coordinates for theta and phi will be volume element in polar for theta, phi will be equal to sin theta d theta. So, we have these transition moment integral will look like this. So, this transition moment integral of course, you know depending on whether your dipole moment is along x axis or y axis or z axis and the electric field could be along x axis y axis z axis we will get 3 integrals T mi will be now be equal to it will take mu naught as common. By the way there is a mu naught there is a mu naught that I forgot because you know everything that this multiplier. So, mu naught. So, this will be equal to mu naught into integral phi d phi integral theta ok phi will go from 0 to 2 pi theta will go from 0 to pi y j prime m prime theta and phi will have 3 integrals 1 will be sin theta cos phi ok there is an I but I is inconsequential sin theta sin phi and cos theta whole thing multiplied by y j m double prime ok. Now, what I am going to do is that I am going to rewrite this as 3 separate integrals. So, that will be equal to T mi mu naught equals to phi 0 to 2 pi theta is equal to 0 to pi y j prime m prime theta phi y j double prime m double prime theta phi this sin theta and that sin theta will be sin square theta cos phi d theta T phi. So, that is one integral ok plus mu naught will be phi theta 0 to pi y j prime m prime theta phi y j double prime m double prime theta phi this is sin theta that sin theta again sin square theta sin phi d theta T phi plus the third integral phi is equal to 0 to 2 pi theta is equal to 0 to pi y j prime m prime theta phi y j double prime m double prime theta phi this is cos theta that is sin theta. So, cos theta sin theta d theta T phi. So, you will have 3 integrals ok. Now, for the transient moment integral to become non-zero or have a selection rule any one of the integrals must be non-zero out of the 3 integrals at least one of the integrals must be non-zero ok. Now, when you evaluate these integrals ok in terms of spherical harmonics. So, your transient moment integral T mi in a compact form will be mu naught integral over phi integral over theta y j prime m prime theta comma phi y j double prime m double prime theta comma phi multiplied by sin theta cos phi sin theta sin phi cos theta into sin theta d theta T phi ok. Now, one of this integral must be non-zero. So, there are 3 integrals 1 2 and 3 and one of them must be non-zero and when you evaluate what appears is you get delta j is equal to less minus 1 and delta m is equal to 0 ok. So, that is the selection rule ok. So, essentially one has to put the wave functions of these y j m are nothing but your spherical harmonics and once you plug in the spherical harmonics one can evaluate this integral. So, the function of this integral is tedious but not it is possible to evaluate it will take about you know an hour or so to evaluate each of these integrals. So, which is a which you can do it as a homework. Let us just look at one integral 2 integrals. So, at the end when you have that when you have the selection. So, what you will get is delta j is equal to less minus 1 ok. That means transition from j is equal to 0 to j is equal to 1 will be allowed. Similarly, from j is equal to 1 to j is equal to 2 will be ok etcetera and your delta E rotation will be equal to what was our delta E rotation? E rotation was nothing but H B j into j plus 1 ok. You can go back and check or we call it as B equilibrium ok. So, this will be now equal to E j is equal to 1 minus E j is equal to 0. So, if I do that this will be H B when j is equal to 1 you will get 1 into 1 plus 1 2. So, this will be 2 minus when j is equal to 0 this will go to 0. So, that will be 0 that will be nothing but 2 H ok. So, similarly if you have delta E rotation is equal to E j is equal to 2 minus E j is equal to 1. So, this will be equal to when j is equal to 2 this will be 2 plus 1 3 3 into 2 6. So, this will be 6 H B minus 2 H B. So, this is equal to 4 H B. Similarly, when you have delta E rotation j is equal to 3 minus E j is equal to 2 I am looking for. So, this is from 0 to 1 this is from 1 to 2 and this is from 2 to 3. So, when you have 3 this will be 3 plus 1 4 4 into 3 12. So, this will be 12 H P E minus this is when is equal to 2 is a 6 H B. So, this is 6 H V E. So, this will be nothing but 6 H P E. Now you can see a geometric progression this is 2 H P E this is 4 H P E. So, this is 6 H B E. So, what appears is that. So, when you have this one. So, the first line will come at 2 H P E ok. The second line will come at 4 H B E and third line will come at 6 H. Now we will see the difference between these lines and it is also possible to show that it is the fourth line will come at 8 H B E ok. So, this is nothing but energy. So, this is will be from 0 to 1 this will be from 1 to 2 this will be from 2 to 3 and this is from 3 to 4 value of J's ok. Now if you have this now this will again be this is 2 H B E this also 2 H B E this also 2 H ok. So, the rotational transitions separated by 2 H P E ok. By the way in some textbooks this also written as this H is absorbed into B E and then you can also you also get as 2 B E that is a B E prime ok where B E prime is equal to H B E. So, they are equally spaced rotational lines ok and each of them will be a geometric progression. Now, when you have such rotational spectrum. So, you will think that you will get a rotational spectrum which is like this, but unfortunately the rotational spectrum does not look like this what it looks as a cyclically different. Now, this rotational spectrum will also the intensity of the transition will also depend on the population. Now, you know rotational states have a degeneracy of degeneracy of 2 J plus 1 ok. So, the 0th state that is J is equal to 0 state has degeneracy of 1 is non-degenerate while J is equal to 1 state has a degeneracy of 3 and so on that 2 J plus 1 ok. So, now what happens is that your N J by N 0 will be equal to population will be equal to 2 J plus 1 multiply e to the power of minus delta E by K T. So, this is nothing but 2 J plus 1 delta E ok. Now, if I want to go from J into J plus 1 J is or 0 to J to the power of minus H B E J into J plus 1 divided by K T ok where T is your absolute temperature and K is the Boseman constant. So, in that scenario now, if I plot N J by N 0 as a function of J then this will look something like this. So, this is 1 and this value I will call it as J max. So, this will be 0 1 2 in this case 3 could be J max 4 5 6 3 3 happens to be J max, but this J max will depend on 2 things ok. So, J max will depend on 1 temperature rotational constant or value of B E N J by N 0 is given by 2 J plus 1 into e to the power of minus H B E J into J plus 1 by K T. Now, you see this is e to the power of minus B E. So, as B E increases this decreases and as. So, J max J max decreases as B E increases also J max increases as T increases ok. So, depending on the molecule and the temperature the J max will keep changing because for different values of temperature and the rotational constant B will have different J max. Therefore, the rotational spectrum will look like something like that. So, it will have intensities which will go up and come down something very similar to this. So, this is 1 0 to 1 1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 5 to 6 6 to 7 7 to 8 to 9. So, this profile will reflect population of rotational states. Now, there is one more thing we say that delta J is equal to plus minus 1. So, this is all will reflect to delta J is equal to plus 1. So, increasing, but there is a another set of lines which will have a mirror image will go like that will come to have delta J is equal to minus 1. So, this will be from 1 to 0 2 to 1 3 to 2 4 to 3 etcetera ok. So, there will be a mirror image. So, this is called this is called P branch this is called R branch and there is something right in the middle called Q branch where is delta J is equal to 0 is called Q branch ok, but this line is missing in the rotational spectrum. So, that is 0 to 0 1 to 1 2 to 2. So, those transients are not allowed. So, they will be missing. So, your rotation spectrum will look like this ok. We will stop it here and continue in the next lecture. Thank you.


Hi, my name is Ricardo and I'm the Senior Content Manager at CMC Markets. This year I've had the opportunity to interview many experts from around the world to unravel the secrets of trading, and shed light on what's next for the global economy. Here is our 2024 Outlook. Surprisingly in February, many were predicting that the US was about to tumble into a recession. That is thanks to the Federal Reserve's 11 interest rate hike since early 2022. But things have taken quite the turn about from earlier this year. So far, the economy has continued to plow ahead, and inflation is retreating faster than some economists expected. In the latest FOMC meeting, the Fed were cautiously optimistic, with Chair Jerome Powell saying he was pleased with the progress in the battle against inflation and the Fed's goal of keeping full employment. Now, although JP Morgan Research sees only a modest risk that the global economy slides into a recession in the near term, they are forecasting an end to the global expansion by mid-2025. With inflation cooling, and hiring remaining strong, economists are now venturing that something other than a recession may be around the corner, a so-called soft-landing.


Mets are done now, right? I mean, they're not coming back from that. Five back on the wild card after that loss. Yeah, that stings. I mean, that is a soul-crushing defeat right there and on all fronts for everything. I mean, even the way the game ended, using pitches you didn't have to at that point, having the lead right there. Huge home run, huge mistake by Trey Turner, taking advantage of that and then going back into the bottom half of the inning and not being able to close it out. Seems like this is what's been going on for the Mets all season long. Man, that hurts. I'm not going to say it's over, but it really hurts. No pun intended. I'm just saying it's going to take a lot in that clubhouse for guys to come back and win five in a row after something like that happened to you. It's so hard to do. They say, F1DS, man, like, what happened? The Mets throw in 100 miles an hour and people are hitting it all over the place. He has gone from the best closure in the game last year to just a mess. It's been a terrible year. The Mets have blown 25 saves, second most in the National League, to the Nationals themselves. Remember, they had that awful start. So the Mets, okay, horrible loss. Seven runs in the ninth. I mean, that is, and really, since the end of May, your boy, Davey Martinez, has got these guys playing, but that is truly unbelievable to win a game like that. You know, I was on the fence for the last week with these Nationals. Breaking news, I think the Washington Nationals are for real. Oh, big hurt in the end. He's weighing it. I really believe the Washington Nationals are going to the playoffs this year. What a turnaround. Davey Martinez, everyone was saying he's going to get fired, month of the habit to the season, and now he woke these guys up. I think they really got over the Bryce Harper leaving, and Robles showed up. A great contact here. It looks like a future superstar, and Soto is an MVP candidate. So that pulled the slack when they were missing there when they lost Bryce Harper. This team was for real, these guys can hit. They believe in themselves. They're having so much fun. I haven't seen a bunch in a while that have as much fun after they had a home run in the dugout. I mean, we're talking about, we got Anthony Rendon over there, third base, could be an MVP candidate, and he ain't even the best player on the team.  Doing things that like, almost unheard of. No. Right, and not only that, the fact that you got the three headed monster at the top, I mean you got, the fact that the game finished 11 to 10, and Scherzer, and DeGrum started those games, is unbelievable, man. Baseball's crazy. This is why we love it, man. Things like this, especially coming down the stretch, putting that second wild card team in there has given teams a lot of opportunity. Games like this mean a lot. This is great. That was incredible.  They need to keep him healthy because he can come up with some big hits, he's one of those guys that seem like he's been there forever. He's one of the original nationals, and this team mates love it. You saw him yesterday when he came in, he got the first big hit, everyone went crazy. He fitted right in with those young kids, and you have to adapt with a younger team. The guys are having fun, and you've been a veteran and been away for a while. He came right in and fit right in, and it's hard for most veterans to do that. It kind of reminds me of Frank, back in 2006 when I was in Oakland and Frank kind of came over. He was that super veteran guy that had been around forever, a future Hall of Famer. You got to have that guy in the locker room, and I think that's what Ryan Zimmerman is for that nationals lineup right now, especially with all that youth they have in there. There's always that one guy you look to, for us it was Frank, and for everybody in that nationals locker room. And you guys were crazy, and I wasn't used to that.  Oh, we got you Frank, we got you, bro. They gave you that energy with something else. Wait, what do you mean, we're crazy?  This was still crazy. But the most in that locker room was nuts. I had never been around that situation, that young energy of the youth. We played so well from the beginning of the season, all the way to the end. Gave me the night. National score seven in the bottom of the ninth. They have to have the Mets scored, what, five in the top of the ninth? Crazy. 6th run lead, wild nationals with a huge win at Dagger for the Mets.


Hey guys it's Liana and I'm here today to rant about Things of the Wild by Nicholas Ames. This, as you are probably aware, was a book blades and bodyservers book club pick, which was chosen by yours truly for me and Amanda to read. And then I ranted about it for a bit in the reading log wherein I was reading it. I ranted for another much bigger bit in our live show and here we have the official actual rant reveal. I will be including this in my I don't get it series because I I've lumped together all my negative reviews for books that get obscene amounts of praise that I'm just like I don't get it. If this was a book that got middling reviews I'd be like yeah like I super hated it but also like the consensus seems to be it's okay but no this is a book like others and that I reviewed as I don't get it books gets it's like a 4.5 aggregate rating on Goodreads or something absurd and I've heard almost nothing but praise like exclusively praise like when I was looking for people who also disliked it on YouTube I couldn't find anybody on Goodreads I found negative reviews and I was like here's my tribe and I literally after finishing this book I rewarded myself for having finished it by pouring myself a very large stiff drink putting on Greta Van Fleet and reading some one-star reviews on Goodreads so that I could be like yes thank you so here we have my one-star review because you can't give zero stars to a book fuck you Goodreads I hate this so much Amanda did not hate it so if you watched our live show you saw that she actually quite liked it she didn't love it but she quite liked it so we did not agree on this and we're still friends and I point this out because people who give me death threats over not linking their favorite book and over ranting about it um fuck you we're talking about a book so I am allowed to hate it and that's okay anyway yeah if you don't know anything about Kings of the Wild it is marketed and included in the lists and described as and promoted as kind of room dark fantasy a la Abercrombie meets this final tap the movie because it's the premise and this is true this is like it's not missold in terms of the premise this is the premise and that is true that it's kind of taking the idea of an over-the-hill rock band that's coming together for sort of one last world tour even though they're kind of like past their prime uh except instead of musicians instead of a rock band they are mercenaries they are a band of mercenaries and going into it I expected it to be darkly humorous I expected it to be grim dark fantasy but with this sort of comedic meta joke of like you can kind of see how this could be compared to a band but like that's not really like the book isn't constantly gonna nudge you and wink wink and like it's a band and like he's totally the guitarist and like do you get this rock joke like I expected it to be like an actual grim dark fantasy that is a little more on the humorous side and that has this again meta premise that you can be like I see how this could kind of be compared to a similar situation as a rock band that is not what this book is like it's technically about the rock band premise but it is literally about that there's nothing meta or subtle about it this is like american pie style humor with like in your face completely overt references to them being a rock band but they're mercenaries but it's totally a rock band and the most male-gazy disgusting portrayals of women or of men reacting to women and there is nothing literally nothing that I like about this book it's not okay there's one thing I like about it and that is the concept but everything about what was what they he chose to do with that concept fuck you oh my god fuck you so hard this was awful I cannot even begin to describe how awful it is so for one there is like if you're like the only possible thing that I could see somebody enjoying here is the humor if this is your taste in humor like if these are the kind of jokes that work for you then you might enjoy it but if you're looking for plot or characters or an interesting magic system or literally anything else you will be disappointed and I was disgusted offended and not remotely amused by the humor and since really the only thing it has to offer you is humor because it's not really bothered to have much of a plot it's not bothered to have much world building it's not bothered to flesh out his characters so if you don't think it's funny then there's nothing here for you like literally nothing and the humor it's not my cup of tea because it lacks subtlety it's disgusting it's misogynist and it's just uh low effort it's like fart jokes and dick jokes and yo mama jokes and it's it's so juvenile and honestly so dated like it's it sounds to me like jokes that I never found funny but the kind of jokes that were the reason I avoided going to see out and out comedy movies and that came out in the 90s movies like American pie and not another teen movie and um there oh when I was in the live show I was trying to think of there was a show that I remember coming out that I wanted to watch and then it was like awful because it was exactly like this and I hated it so much uh and I don't know when I was reading it I was like oh this is like that show that I hated and I think it was called like cruel the warrior something like that like I still can't quite remember the name of it but I couldn't remember it all during the live show anyway that show is like this book so if you like if you remember that show and you liked it well then this is the book for you I mean for one like in the beginning of the book we already get the most like sexist kind of portrayal of a dude who was once a rock star but now is settled down to like the simple life with a wife and kid and the wife is nothing but like a nagging shrew who he's worried about pissing off because if he doesn't like her cooking like she's gonna be pissed at him and she's gonna be upset if she finds out that he stopped for a beer on his way home and like oh good old days when I was in my band of mercenaries I was just like okay like whatever then throughout the book later he keeps being so nostalgic and so he romanticizes his home life and how like oh she was the one that saved him and he loves her so much and he misses her so much and I'm just like that woman that you were annoyed with and who was annoyed with you in the beginning oh yeah totally so romantic and then I kind of blocked it from my memory but then in one of the one star reviews pointed it out and I was like oh my god that's right I forgot and I forgot because I forgot on purpose it's disgusting in the beginning when our kind of main character is telling a bedtime story to his daughter uh mermaids come up and he recalls that he may or may not have fucked a mermaid and he's thinking about this while telling a bedtime story to his daughter and the book this is in the beginning of the book and I was just like okay it was still when I was like trying to see if I'm gonna like this and I was like I don't know about that but I think I'll just keep reading it does not get better it gets worse there is in here a miasma that sets off like boners for everybody in the room during a fight there's the section that I tabbed where a woman a gorgon so she's not a human female she's described in terms of her breasts being like melons on offer at a market and then one of the band members comments on the fact that gorgons don't turn men to stone but he's hard as a rock I was just like excuse me and there's like no female characters other than this one female character who ends up kind of joining their crew and her magical power is being hot and men being attracted to her of course this whole book doesn't really have a plot it's just like a series of side quests where they have to get them a guffin and they have to get the thing or they get to like ogle a woman or they get to reminisce about the good old days when they were a really great band and every single time they reminisced about when they were a really great band I was like I would much rather read about whatever escapade you just described in two sentences than whatever the fuck this is it was all like hold back that time when we slay that dragon wasn't that just so crazy and I'm like yeah let's read about that I don't what is this and okay and so there were moments in the book where it attempted to have a depth of character moment like an emotional serious moment and again like I referenced where clay is kind of thinking about oh how he misses his wife and like you know will he ever see them again will they live through this and that just didn't work for me for one because it wasn't for that specifically wasn't set up because we saw family life and there was nothing he was painted really like sexistly so I was just like not buying it and then throughout the book it's constantly just like jokes and dumb situational comedy and then out of nowhere we would get this moment where all of a sudden we just like switched to serious and it's not like gradual and it's not like natural it's just like stop jokes be serious for this section and then move back to jokes and I was like I'm not taking any of the series because you haven't fleshed out any of these characters they are completely two-dimensional I feel nothing this is come why is this here like you haven't bothered to give them characters so am I supposed to care that they're suddenly crying like I because I don't and um what I wanted out of this and what could have been so good is it is kind of sad and kind of tragic to have over the hill dudes trying to relive their glory days and yet inherent in that could be a lot of dark humor a lot of like them trying to cover their own midlife crisis with humor a lot of situational humor where like they think they can pull off something that they used to and they fail to which again is both sad and funny and that's what I wanted this book to be that's what I expected it to be I expected it to be you know a group of Logan nine fingers types who are but just like with more jokes and to more occasions where his their inability to actually complete a task that they once would have been able to is funny but also kind of sad that's what I expected and that is no this is they constantly get out of every scrape because of plot convenience and plot armor and random mcguffins that the wizard who is part of their band will just Mr like exposition will drop some world building and explain where this magical thing came from that saves the day there's cure all so like there's one part where I like I really was like oh my god like we're one of the band members loses a hand and I was like oh like we're doing real stakes now like I played this book but like okay you did it like you went and then a magical cure we gives him his hand back and I was like okay so I literally don't care about anything and moreover like bigger than all of this well not bigger than but like a big picture here the plot if there is one is that they're gonna go and save the daughter of one of the band members who is in this dangerous place and she's kind of got herself in there but dad wants to go and rescue her so he is convinced his old band to get back together so that they can go and rescue her which is fine like that's like a good like jumping off point I guess although like a woman needing to be rescued being the reason you come back together again is not great but whatever you needed a reason and that's fine but throughout the book not even from her father do we ever feel a sense of urgency is it's never like the constant side questing of like get the MacGuffin and get the person and stop here and this thing happens at least I still would have hated it but at least if throughout even if none of the other band members cared even if the other band members were willing to just like fuck off and do nothing and like have squabbles and side quest galore at least her father who set this all off should have been like guys guys get it together my daughter is in danger like come on we've got to get going because she is in danger every second that we delay never not a single time did he do that and so in one instance where the wizard decides to pull out his magic globe that like you can like see things from far away or whatever he randomly when one of these like suddenly we've decided to be serious moments the wizard decides to pull it out and let Gabe see his daughter and Gabe sees his daughter in this like really horrible place surrounded by horrors and he all of a sudden just like smashes the globe and throws it and destroys it and then gets it out of the system and then moves on and then we're back to side questing and not being in a rush at all so it's not like it's been built up that he has this simmering frustration that he's constantly trying to like bite back his words and be like guys like we need to go and then like constantly just like freaking out and then finally when he sees her then smashes it I would have believed it and I would have been like you know like yeah yeah like that was a long time coming but he's just been like fine fine fine fine fine sees her and is like hulks out for a second and then moves on and the wizard isn't like that's my magic globe that could be really useful in this quest if it helps us see things from a distance but everyone's just like oh yeah he broke the globe well move on because nothing means anything there are even the MacGuffins don't mean anything I was sitting there going like that would be such a valuable thing for you to have on your quest y'all are just gonna let him break it like why is no one stopping him like I get that like he's upset about his daughter but like yo like that but then I remembered that anytime they need a thing they will get it the plot will give them the MacGuffin that they need so why worry about the magic globe that he's destroying for no reason because it wasn't at all developed before it happened and then it was immediately forgotten about it's never I was like maybe later then they'll be like god damn it I wish I had that globe it's too bad Gabe destroyed it because we really could use it right now nope never came back into it oh I don't it was that moment there just to have character development which is like a waste of pages because you're not bothering to have character development the rest of the time so to just suddenly remember that you probably should have something like that and then move on without it again fuck you fuck you fuck you no that's not how writing works okay so that covers most of my pain points they were like here and there on the rare instance like oh my god there was also all these lines where there was like literally on the nose jokes about bands and about rock and about modern terms of phrase there's a joke about what happens in blank stays in blank and there was like a when the straw like the straw that breaks the camel's back except they were like the coin that breaks the dragon's back and that already like he opened with the coin that breaks the dragon's back and explains the meaning of it and I was just like that's very on the nose but okay I guess that's kind of clever but then he actually goes and like there's another saying in the south that I've never understood but it's similar and that's when the straw breaks the camel's back and I was like well we literally put it in there in case you didn't get it but that's what he's referencing which like you'd have to be two years old to not get it in case you didn't get it he actually was like what is another saying like it that is literally the straw that broke the camel's back and I was like no I got it I fucking got it but okay and then there's a part in it where like it literally uses the title kings of the wild where like Gabe is like feeling down and clay needs going to give him a pep talk and he's like remember when we were so great and we did all these things we were kings kings of the wild and I was just like okay and then once wasn't enough Gabe's like we were kings of the wild I was just like okay who is this appealing to? yeah I fucking hated it every single moment of it it's so long so boring and how dare anybody compare this to Abercrombie or Spinal Tap because I love Joe Abercrombie and I love this is Spinal Tap and do not insult either of those by comparing them to this garbage because what what the fuck yeah so let me know in the comments down below if you're one of the people that gets it and gave this book like five stars um I've looked at five star reviews from people who's taste doesn't always obviously but does often align with mine people who do like me like Abercrombie and also like this I've looked at those reviews trying to understand what they're getting out of this because I just I I don't get it I don't fucking get it even my friend Amanda who buddy read this with me she likes it and I was like I don't get it I don't understand how anyone could like this if you're not like I guess if you like American Pie I get why you like this I just I don't get why anyone would like that ever it's not slimy it's not clever it's not anything okay yeah so let me know comments down below your thoughts and feelings given the aggregate high star rating on this book I would assume that most people watching this video liked the book and are here either to shit on me or to find out how somebody could possibly not like it I don't understand how anyone could possibly like it anyway let me know your thoughts and feelings in the comments down below and post videos on Saturdays for sure and sometimes at other times as well like this video which may not be going on a Saturday I don't know what I'm gonna post it but in any event let me know all the things and I'll see you when I see you


Picks, Scots, Romans, Vikings and more. What major events happened in Scotland between 1 and 1000 AD? The Land of Red Squirrels, Deer and Highland Cows. By the end of this video, you'll be a master of Scottish history. The initial period of a Scottish timeline was dominated by the Romans. In 79 AD, Julius Agricola began the formal Roman invasion of Northern Britannia, no mainly as Caledonia or Scotland today, although Roman legions had been venturing north in previous years. The Romans inflicted a major defeat on the Caledonians at the Battle of Mongropius in around 83 or 84 AD. In 122, the Romans started construction on Hadrian's Wall in Northern England, which was completed around 127 AD. Around 15 years later, Rome began construction on the northernmost frontier of a empire, Antonin's Wall, which stretched between the 4th of 4th and the River Clyde in the central belt of modern Scotland. Over the decades however, there was constant back and forth between the native people of ancient Scotland and the Romans. One instance occurred in 196 AD, when a confederation of tribes known as the Matei, which probably occupied a region centred on Stirlingshire, overran Hadrian's Wall and forced the Romans to retreat south. Just over a decade later, the Roman Emperor Septimius Severus rebuilt Hadrian's Wall and invaded Caledonia once again. A few years into this campaign, Severus gave a genocidal order to his son, Caracela, in an attempt to exterminate the Matei and the Caledonia. Severus declared that we are not going to leave a single one of them alive, down to the babies in their mothers' wombs. The whole people must be wiped out of existence. The Romans depopulated large parts of Scotland in a brutal fashion as a result of this order, but that ultimately proved unsuccessful, in part because Severus died during the campaign, with Caracela returning to Rome shortly afterward. In 258, some sources suggest that a significant number of Scots, or Gaels, settled in western Scotland under the leader, Rudei. The Kingdom of Dauriada would be founded in this region, centuries later. In 297, a Roman writer records that the Picts and Irish, meaning the Scots, attacked Hadrian's Wall. There was constant raids by the Picts and Scots, and responses by the Romans over the centuries of Roman presence in Caledonia. In the middle of the 4th century, St Nenium was born, who went on to be an early Christian missionary amongst the Picts. Around 410, Roman rule formally ended in Britain, although Roman troops had gradually been withdrawn for decades prior to this. In around 498, the Gaelic Kingdom of Dauriada is thought to have been founded, which encompassed the western seaborn of Scotland, centred on Argyll, and parts of County Antrim in the north of Ireland. In the middle of the 6th century, some sources suggest that Lothian came under control of the Angles. In 563, St Columba founded a monastery on the Hebridean island of Iona, and a few years later, he travelled on a Christian mission to Pictland. In 575, Scottish Dauriada appeared to gain independence from Irish Dauriada. Also during the 6th century, the Kingdom of Strathclyde arose, also known as the All Clue, with its capital being Dumbarton. In 580, Edomac Gabrain, the King of Dauriada, during its golden age, is recorded as fighting in Orkney. In 600, the Goododin people descendants of the Votadini, who occupied the region of the Hener Glave on Old North, which corresponded to parts of Southern Scotland and Northern England, were defeated at the Battle of Cat Wraith in North Yorkshire by the Angles. Three years later, in 603, Edomac Gabrain, the King of Dauriada, is defeated by King Ethelrith of Bernesia, the Northern Northumbrian Kingdom at the Battle of Degg-Sistan. In 638, the Northumbrians captured Edinburgh from the Goododin. In 657, Oswegg, King of Northumberland, became overlord of the Scots and other parts of Britain, after victory at the Battle of Winwade, two years earlier, over the Kingdom of Mercia. Then in 685, the Picts, under their King, Brydie III, won a decisive victory at the Battle of Dunn-Nectain, over the King of Northumbria, Egareth, a major blow to Northumbrian Northern expansion. In 736, the King of the Picts, Angus, ravaged and burned the capital of Dauriada, Dunad. Also in the middle of the 8th century, Angus established a monastery in St Andrews. In the 790s, Viking raids began. In 796, the Vikings attacked Iona and pillaged and killed many monks on the island. This became a theme in subsequent years. In 806, a notable Viking raid on Iona resulted in the massacre of around 70 monks. Many monks went on to relocate to the Abbey of Kells in Ireland. In 843, the Picts and the Scots were unified into the Kingdom of Alipa, the embryo of the modern nation of Scotland by Kenneth MacAlpin. This started the royal house of Alpin, which reigned until 1034, when the House of Dunkeld took the throne under Duncan I. In 870, Viking leaders launched a successful siege of Dumbarton Rock, the capital of the Kingdom of Strathclyde. In 875, Orkney became a Norse heirled him. 15 years later, Orkney, Shetland, parts of the Hebridean Islands, and Cathness became part of Harald Fairhares, Kingdom of Norway. In around 903, St Andrews became the religious capital of Alipa. In 918, the Battle of Corbridge took place in Northumberland, between the Norse scale leader Ragnall Imar and an alliance of the Kingdom of Alipa and the Kingdom of Northumbria. Although the battle was somewhat indecisive, the Scots managed to retreat north, while Ragnall went on to further establish his position in Northumbria in the following years. Then in 937, Ethelstan, the King of England, won victory at the Battle of Brunambar over an alliance of Olaf Guthrithson, King of Dublin, Constantine II, King of Scotland and Owen, King of Strathclyde. In 997, Constantine III dies after a brief reign as the King of Alipa. He is succeeded by Kenneth III. Did I leave anything out in this video that you would have included? What mistakes did I make?

The topic we are going to talk about today is about making referrals. Giving and taking referrals should be made thoroughly taking the needs and resources of the client as the first priority. There comes the stage that during the therapeutic process we find that due to any of the reasons which we will be going to talk about today there is a need to give referral to the client. Any such situation can be created in which there is a need to give referral to a person. The person asking for the referral has the right to expect the best recommendation available regardless of any financial interest that might occur to the colleague being asked for the name. It is very important to take care of this that when you go for a referral the client's financial pocket will expect how much they can pay and we will be referring to it accordingly. Appropriate referral does not mean that it should be the appropriate term of the finances. But basically finance is probably the least aspect. There are more important aspects which basically curtail the referral that is being done for the problem that can be properly catered. Because if the problem is not addressed then the resources and pocket and other things that does not make any sense that we refer a patient from one therapist to another. Making appropriate referral is part of a professional conduct for therapy in practice. This is not something which occasionally happened. This is not something which will happen once in a blue moon or in a very special circumstances. But rather it should be taken as it is being done in a practice when and where it is needed. A referral procedure should provide a seamless journey from one professional helper to another. And by using all the ethical conduct by using all the professional parameters this is very important that the referral should be made in a manner that it should become a very easy thing for a person who is going through the referral process. We have to make it so easy, conducive and better that in this process that when a therapist goes to another therapist's referral then the patient goes through this transition smoothly and does not have to start his journey from the beginning. In fact, after this referral he can continue the process of his treatment. Reasons for onward referrals. Now why we refer a patient from one therapist to another? What could be the possible circumstances where we will find that there is a need to do an appropriate referral? Working within one's competence is a key. Of course, we understand that your area of expertise the area of speciality you can work within that domain as a therapist. And thus they will be the times when making a referral becomes very important because the client who is coming to you is probably having a problem which is being diversified after a period of time and it is taking its shape and way and then you find that you need a person who can taken care of that problem in a very better manner than you and then you provide a referral to the client. Like a patient comes to you and a child at the age of an adolescence who is your client and as a therapist the therapist starts seeing him. He is probably coming with some very basic symptoms in which his depression or anxiety or initial psychosis may be symptoms he is facing. During the process of therapy may be into four to six months that he is developing a specific personality problem such as borderline personality which is another type in which you need expertise from a mood disorder to see a patient of borderline personality which is a very complex problem and it needs certain kind of expertise to deal with the patient who is going through a borderline personality is evolving in a person who is having a borderline condition. So there you can see that probably you need to refer it to someone who is expert in that area because as much as a DSM-5 rather than DSM-6 is expecting in March 2022 so as many categories as many disorders are given in DSM-5 not every therapist can be an expert. So referral could be done when you find that there is another person who is more competent than you and you can look after that patient better than yourself. So in that situation there could be possibility that referral could be made in many other situations such as if the therapist feels unsafe with the client for example if alone working in private practice a patient here who has symptoms of psychosis he is hallucinating he is having delusions and the therapist feels he is not safe enough to stay in a long time in an hour when there is no one around with the client so he may feel that as a patient who is probably having a more better clinical services available where he has an attendant a caregiver, a social worker and there are multiple people around the table and around the clinic and those emergency services could be helpful. The therapist needs others issue for example there could be a housing problem which can be clashed with the client for instance where the clinic is initially showing the client that the client is relocated now it may be difficult for the client similarly the client can be relocated and it may be difficult they could be the financial difficulties as well because with the passage of time they are the transition in different things so maybe a financial difficulties could occur and similarly the law related matters and the medical related matters they are also the issue which can be engaged in counseling so we have to see that if any of such matter occurs then the referral could be probably made. The client has a mental health issues that prevents establishment of a psychological contact In fact some people come to take therapy on the will of the family but they need more medication than therapy if a person is in a delusional phase in a hallucination they could be in danger and they will not be conducive for therapy in such a situation it is better to start the medicine and when the symptoms are active they could be a little decreased then they could be better then the counseling issues that the client is bringing is not within your area of competence as we have already talked that the person is not expert in one area for instance substance abuse substance misuse expert is different and things like that and then the agency offers a limited number of sessions and this therapist knows that this amount will be insufficient to work safely with the client as a person is engaged where in a clinic setup you are offered a certain session and you feel that during these 3 or 5 sessions you would not be able to deal properly with the client you may feel that you should do an appropriate referral rather than wasting the time in 3 to 5 sessions and you may not be able to achieve your target The therapist's modality is not a good match for the client issue for example the client needs to help overcome a fear of flying before an imminent holiday abroad and he needs the help of a flying phobia and he wants to first to seize and radicate but the therapist who is available is a person centered counselor rather than the cognitive behavior therapist so you know the cognitive behavior therapist is a person who can probably deal better with this kind of phobia and related issues rather than a person who is using the person centered approach by call rogers so we have to see the speciality we have to see the techniques which are being applied and then appropriately provide the person to the referral The client is experiencing difficulties that mirror those which were faced by the therapist himself for example giving you a parallel process giving you an example if the client wish to work on the feelings related to their divorce you want to restructure those thoughts which are being immersed in the issue related to the divorce process and by which you have a chance the therapist is also going through the same in this process while restructuring your emotional diffuse you have to face so if the both are having a parallel process going through the same emotional problem this is not advisable to go through the therapy from that person and it is much advisable to go for an appropriate referral in this situation so these are the conditions in which we can provide appropriate referrals
