Hello in this lecture we will define job order costing system. According to fundamental accounting principles Wild 22nd edition the definition of job order costing system is cost accounting system to determine the cost of producing each job or job lot.

So once again click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. When we're thinking about a job order costing system we are thinking generally of a manufacturing company a company that manufactures inventory meaning we're starting with something like raw materials that will then be converted to inventory at the end of the process. The two systems usually used in terms of processing inventory would be the job cost system and a process cost system. We here are considering the job cost system a system in which the information to track inventory through the production process is done by job. So that would mean that in a trial balance within the inventory accounts we could have multiple inventory accounts including raw materials work in process and finished goods and then once those have been completed once the inventory is completed and then sold we would have a similar process as we do for a merchandising company in that the inventory would then be reduced when sold and we would record the cost of goods sold the expense related to the sale. The job cost system needs to find a way to track the inventory from raw materials to work in process to finished goods and it does so by job. By doing so by job we then have a way to allocate the costs to specific jobs in specific units of inventory which we can then determine to sell. Therefore the job cost system is going to have job sheets which will back up the inventory accounts including the raw materials work in process and finished goods well at least the work in process and the finished goods that is. So what we're going to have here is a sheet that will include the components of inventory this will be the general ledger over here we're backing up the raw materials the finished goods the work in process the factory overhead showing the activity within those accounts for example the 170 here in the raw materials matches the 170 here in raw materials in the trial balance the 500 000 finished goods here in the general ledger matches the 500 000 in the trial balance the work in process 260 in the general ledger matches the 260 000 on the trial balance and of course the factory overhead has the credit of 3000 represented here we also need to break those out by job so the job sheet is basically backing up what is in mainly the work in process account because the work in process account is including all jobs that are in process and we need to differentiate those jobs when we actually sell the jobs so within work in process we're going to have a direct materials direct labor and overhead that's going to be these three items that are being represented by these three numbers however we need to break those out by job so for example if we have these three jobs job 14 16 and 15 and we're saying that two of those have been closed what that means is that they have been closed out to finished goods no longer in work in process we have this one job here that is remaining open so this 260 is the open job remaining in work in process and that number is backing up what is in work in process the other two being part of the finished goods here being this 186 and the 314

Screen Directors Playhouse, Stars, Douglas Fairbanks, Joyce McKenzie, Production, Prince of Foxes, Director, Henry King. This is the Screen Directors Playhouse, the Thursday night feature on NBC's All-Star Festival of Comedy, Music, Mystery, and Drama. Brought to you by RCA Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television, and the makers of Anison for fast relief from the pain of headache, neuritis, and neuralgia. Tonight the Screen Directors Playhouse is pleased to present the story of a stirring history. Here now for the first time on the air is our adaptation of Prince of Foxes, starring Douglas Fairbanks as Orsini, with Joyce McKenzie as Camilla. Italy, 1500. Not a single state, but many states crammed into the Mediterranean boot. Italy, 1500, thrust howling into a state of perpetual warfare. And over the bloodiest of battles floats the banner of the bull, the ensign of César Borgia, César Borgia, whose mailed fists reach out from the court of Rome and crush what lies before them. Maps, gentlemen, I presume you'll read, Maps. My Lord Borgia, jests, as captain in your lordship service. I have demonstrated many times. Yes, yes, my dear Donna Stavon, it was a rhetorical question. You see, your friend Orsini smiles. I smile only in delight at viewing a map of Italy. A soldier finds it fascinating. Good, good. Now tell me, Donna Stavon, which is of greater service to me, your sword or the Lord Orsini's words? Your lordship knows that in battle the sword cuts the mouth. My Lord Don S. Stavon must take care that his sword is sharp enough for such cutting. Enough, enough. Look, my dagger. And the dagger on the map. What do you say, Donna Stavon? The dagger thrust through our city of Rome, and you Orsini. With your lordship mind, if I spoke not as a soldier, but as a poor painter of portraits. Speak. I see a knife in the hands of Rome, and throughout the waste of Italy I see a map of many colors. As an artist, my Lord Borgia, I would find much more beauty if there were only a single color. And that, the symbol of Borgia's rule. Your dagger, Lord. He will sense its sharpness well. Now look here. The road to conquest, the Flaminian road. In the spring my troops will take this path to secure the Italian marches. We take Camarino, and on and on. But here, here is the obstacle. Cheetah del Monte. An eagle's nest perched atop a mountain, straddling the Flaminian road. Well, Donna Stavon, what do we do about it? Give me ten thousand troops, or one man. One man to take a walled city? And who shall he be? Who but a man as quick at deceit as a fox? A veritable prince of foxes? He must charm as a snake, charms a bird, yet he must make no friends except those who can be put to use. And for the same reason, although he makes use of love, he must not love. Such a man must take Cheetah del Monte for me. And who is he? Now you may go, Donna Stavon. Orsini, remain. I commend your choice, my lord. Mature excellence, consider the... You'll question me. Oh, sir. Then go. My lord Orsini. If a captain is annoyed, sir. Do not laugh yet, Orsini. Should you lose a single step forward, Donna Stavon is close behind. Not enough of this. The key to Cheetah del Monte shall be presented to you in due time. Use it well. And the city is ours. And what would this key be, Lord Borger? A woman, perhaps? Perhaps? Or a knife? They're the same. And if a life must be taken to secure the city? So long as it isn't mine. And if it were, I'd merely take back what I've given you. My lord Orsini doesn't forget that he entered Rome as a peasant. As an artist, my lord. A peasant artist, then. And now you bear title. And in your service. And lord or peasant, my greatest pleasure is to earn further rewards. In your service, of course. Flatterer. What? Are my words of love rewarded with laughter? Your words spring too easily, Lord Orsini. And why should they not? Fair Angela, since your father deals in rare works of art.  Come here, my dove. One kiss. Just one, then. I'd... And when your father arrives, my love, you'll admire my painting, present my price. Orsini.  A scoundrel who prays on poor dealers of art. Please leave my daughter alone. Well, what have you brought me this time? A gem, Master Pavia. A true miracle of paint and canvas. A bargain beyond counting. At a hundred dockets. Father, you must buy it. Don't be quiet, Latin. I will risk fifty dockets. Farewell, my friend. It is sixty then, no more. My lowest price is a hundred dockets. For so rare a painting for you. Orsini, I'm a poor man. I... Master Pavia, do I hear you bargain like a fish-wise? My damma, Mia, what an honor you grace my humble shop. An honor, indeed, but I regret your presence, madam, whatever be your name. Indeed. How can one praise beauty in a painting when you stand beside it? You make a swift acquaintance, my lord. Much too swift to my liking. Oh, forgive her, madame Mia. You have a touch of indigestion, perhaps. My lord, I find this painting quite pleasing. Would you sell it to me? If your Highness would honor me, accept it as your just tribute. Oh, you have greatness of soul, sir. I will hang it in a place of honor in my own bedroom. A most fitting place. Where it will always recall your generosity to me. My greatest pleasure. And to my good husband. The devil take him. You spoke, my lord? I merely commented on the good fortune of your husband. Thank you. Master Pervia, isn't it about time you presented this gentleman? Oh, an ill-magnifico André Orsini, captain of his lordship, César Borgia. I have the honor to present Camilla Baglione, wife to his excellence, Marco Antonio Ferrano. My lady Camilla, I leave you now with my painting and my regret. That I have your painting? That you have a husband. Oh, it's you, Angela.  Your window frames your loveliness as no artist could. I believe you're right.  Oh, no. Assassin! Assassin, is it? Now. Please.  You're your devil.   You'll never know why I attacked you. Then talk. If your manifico will release me... Speak up, or by heaven I'll... I was paid to slay you. I whom? Don Esteban Maramirez. Don Esteban Maramirez? Of course. Not a bit. But run my love, hide my lovely. He says he was sent to murder you. Oh, my fine murderer. Let me look at you. A fit face for an assassin. A face I can't change. Nor would I want it changed. Beautiful. A face worth the painting. A model of Judas. I'm a poor man of business. Your name? Mario Belli.  But I'll be dashed if there isn't a fine joke in you. Ah, there's jokes enough for the one who holds the knife.  Ah? What's the game? That you accept my employment. Ah, that depends. For how much? Listen to the rogue. Speak your mind. Shall it be me or my dagger? I'll bear your service, then. And warn you when I'm quitting. On the honor of a scoundrel. On my honor. Good enough. Tomorrow we pay a visit to the court and to my lord Don Esteban. You bring me news, Belli? Ah, yes, Don Esteban. Then what is it? It's rather a long story. Answer me. Did you accomplish your mission? Outside the door, my lord. I have the honor to present Il Magnifico Andrea Orsini. And you find it a present day, Don Esteban? Traitor. What could I do? Let me say at the beginning, Don Esteban, that we must be objective in these matters.  You dare speak such words here? In the palace of my lord Cesar Borgia. But you see, I enjoy his favor.  I loathe you quite as happily as you loathe me. There's this difference between us. When I wish to take your life, I won't deny myself the personal pleasure of the act. Ah, here you are, O city. My lord Borgia. My lord. May I present to you my friend and servant, Mario Belli. I kneel to your lordship. Gaze upon his countenance, sire. Did you ever see such treachery? An assassin by trade sold to the highest bidder. And does he really differ from any other person in this room? Arsene, come to the window. Don Esteban, you may go. Ah, a party in your garden. For what occasion? Honored guests on a pilgrimage for the whole of year. You see the old man there talking by the oak tree. The white hair? Yes, yes. The lord of Chita del Monte. Ah, the mountain city. The city you shall take for me. And with it if you wish something for yourself. The key to the city and a jewel with the having. And what is this jeweled key? There. She has just come around the tree. I'll be blasted. Look well, Arsene. So young, so beautiful. The old man's wife. Camilla Bellione. Wife to his excellence, Marc Antonio Verano. You've informed yourself, my lord.  Chita del Monte by spring. Now, shall we join our guests in the garden? My lord Verano, I'm sure Andrea Arsene will prove an entertaining guide during your stay in Rome. My wife and I offer our thanks. From what I know of the noble Arsene, he should be entertaining under any circumstances. So long as they include yourself, my lady. Have you met before then? Well, Arsene, have you met before? An unfair question. May the gallant and answer yes a thousand times each time I look on beauty. Or I could be cautious and sly and only say Madonna's memory will guide my answer. There you have the perfect example of diplomacy. And I still don't know whether they've ever met. Does it really matter, my lord husband? Of course not, my dear. My lord Verano, it occurs to me that now would be an excellent time to secure the friendships of our states. But what changing of the subject is this? Not a change at all. For since Andrea Arsene finds favor in your eyes, I suggest we exchange ambassadors. I shall appoint mine now, Arsene. I see.  I hope you find sufficient amusement in Cittadel Monte. I'm sure I shall. We shall welcome you as a friend. We pray that our friendship lasts. And so the bond between our states is fixed. Our drama continues in just a moment. But now, here's a word from RCA Victor. It's a common experience with all of us to spend a heap of money on pleasure and be completely unable a month later to remember where it went. Well, that's an experience you won't have when you buy an RCA Victor television-radio phonograph combination. Three great instruments in one beautiful cabinet. For one beautiful price, far less than you'd pay for comparable instruments separately. Yes, when you buy an RCA Victor combination, your money stretches. And it talks through AM and FM radio. And it sings through two automatic record changes to play all record speeds. And it looks through the matchless pictures of RCA Victor million-proof television, proven in over a million American homes. And it lasts, entertaining you hour after hour, day after day, year after year. Don't let your pleasure money dribble away. See your RCA Victor dealer and spend where it stretches, talks, sings, looks, and lasts on an RCA Victor combination. Now for the second act of the screen director's Playhouse presentation of Prince of Foxes, starring Douglas Fairbanks as Orsini, with Joyce Mackenzie as Camila. Sheet de Telmarthé, the Wall City, raised on its mountain above the conflict of Italy. The path to Cesar Borges' conquest. Well, my Lord Varano sets an excellent banquet table. No way, Orsini, to stop the winter cold. Please. Mr. Billy. Oh, yes. Yes. And you, my dear. No, thank you. My Lady Camila has no need of wine to warm her blood. I find it well to keep a clear head when I speak to Cesar Borges' ambassador in case... In case, my lady?  Your Highness pays little credit to my sense of observation. Captain Orsini, it pleases now to introduce you officially to Cheetah Del Monte. Sales, lords and counsellors. I give you the ambassador of the illustrious Cesar Borges, the Lord Captain Orsini. My Lord Varano, I am a professional soldier. If you should see me climbing your walls, know that I am studying your defenses. Oh, not just exercising. But know also that I was not sent here for that. My master has told me that your main strength in Cheetah Del Monte is loyalty. I'm here to spy on this loyalty and to learn the secret of how it works. I am already learning. Please help me to learn more. Thank you. Camilla Flan, is it that my speech is displeased? We must talk alone.  My lady honours me. It is scarcely honour, my Lord Orsini. Orsini. Oh, and does my lady Camilla wait in the shadows? I said we would meet alone. Then at least stand by the window where we'll find the grace of moonlight. There's the crest of midnight in your eyes, Madonna. And in your hair and on your lips the lightest stars. Do you really think I ask you here to listen to such talk? Young wife and old husband? And a false cheat. My lady forgets herself. I forget nothing. Nothing I saw in Rome. Borges soldiers, Borges armories, Borges talk of war. Leave the game of politics to your husband, Madonna. He's good for little else. Obviously you came here expecting kisses. I make you a promised Lord Orsini.  A dagger glitters in the moonlight and fierce words flash from an angry beauty. Now there's a picture worth the painting. There's no laughter in me, Orsini. For my husband's sake, there will be peace between us so long as you act peaceably. Someone's coming. I've spoken my words. Mark them well, Orsini. Is someone there? Andrea Orsini, my lord Verano. Wondering about the castle at midnight? And what's this? A dagger? It would appear to be a dagger, my lord. Orsini, you find my wife attractive, don't you? Only with the deepest respect. Words? I regret your lordship thinks ill of me. I think ill of no one. Your lordship is tolerant. I am not tolerant of anything that would affect my wife's honor. And is that in question? Fortunately, no. Mind you, she's as capable of going to the devil as any other young woman. But I'm certain of this. If she does go, she won't sneak about it. She'll tell me first. Your lordship's confidence is most worthy of consideration. Then consider, my lord. And, uh, incidentally, I'll return this dagger to her. Good night. Walls, Bailey. Mark the thickness of these walls. But look at these cannon. What was rusted through, and these snows will finish the job. Look, we stand thousands of feet in the air, a sheer drop. And they don't have a guard, not one single guard. No matter guards or cannon here, they can be supplied. Look now, the city sits on the rim of a mountain. In only one place can they be attacked. Boardgear's troops would take it like a shepherd herds sheep. Oh, Bailey, give me a thousand men and enough food and ammunition, and I could hold this place till the enemy died of old age. It's all very well, my lord Orsini. But our job is to attack it, not defend it. Ah, the winter air. Sit down, Bailey. Once, Bailey, there was a young man who lived in the country. A peasant's hut. He wanted riches and power and all the fullness of the earth. And he set about getting them with a handful of paints. But other doors open, and others, and... Ah, it's a good place, this cheetah del Monte. I'm pleased you find it so. My lord Varana. You've come to my favorite spot, where one can almost see the entire world. Whenever I'm troubled, I come here. And I always find an answer to my problem. It frightens me, a misplaced step, and you're gone. Are you afraid of death, Orsini? I have no great affection for it, sir. You still must learn the greatest truth of living. After all, nothing dies. The seasons repeat themselves. The trees and grass grow again. Even our own humble places are tainted. I don't have your wisdom, my lord. I believe that I was born and that I must die. And between the two extremes lies a devil of a lot of living. I make the best of it. You're cursed with youth, Orsini. And despite the stories that are told, youth is not the happiest part of life. I'm sorry for you. And for my wife. You both have a long road to travel. Good morning, my friend. My lord Orsini. What is it, Bailey? Perfect. Heaven sent. What are you talking about? When the time comes, we'll give the old man a problem. He comes out here to think it out. A push? It's over. Always the man of business. Come along. I'll finish that portrait I'm painting of you. Come along. I'm getting cold. Now, hold that position. We're almost through. All right. Don't push at me. And does my lady Camilla have an interest in art that she watches so closely? I find it odd. A soldier who dabbles at painting. Bailey, your head a bit to the left. Perhaps Madonna is an artist who dabbles in soldiering. Perhaps when you finish this, if you have nothing else to do, you'll paint... Stand still, Bailey. Perhaps Madonna herself. Perhaps. If you promised to wave no more daggers in my face. I promised you peace. If you gave peace in return. We'll start in the morning. But I warn you, it's a long job. We won't finish until spring. Is Madonna weary? No. I'm fine. A few more brush strokes and it will be finished. And you'll show it to me then? The months of painting. Yes, I'll show it to you. I dob here, there, and I tell myself I'm creating beauty. Months, my lady, and you've been very patient. For me, they've been extremely happy months. And now they're finished. And so is the painting. May... may I see? Look. Or see me. Does it please you? Oh, I thought you were only a maker of compliments. A lord of ambitions and dark schemes. But now, in my own portrait, oh, there's a great artist in you. I might have been once. It's past now. You speak with humility. Why?  Everything I know is stale. What's troubling you, Orsini? I don't know. I only know that spring is here. Those planted in the winter must soon begin to grow. You'll pardon me, Madonna. Orsini. God help me. What am I doing to these people? Maripico, my lord Orsini. And what is it, Bailey? News. News. Spring is here. We have a visitor in Chita del Monte. And what visitor is that? The blade of Cesar Borgia, my former employer, Don Esteban Ramirez. I have read your master's message, Don Esteban. I recommend that you consider it well. What does he demand? To pierce it, Cesar Borgia is launching an attack on Camarino. He demands passage for his troops and a levy of a thousand men from my city. And this was friendship. My master asks that you keep your period of deliberation to a minimum. I await your answer. I'll have to think on this. My lord Orsini no longer has a welcome here. Come, my husband. Thank you, my dear. The bride and groom spring in the lap of winter and you fail to winter. Yes, it appears I've failed all around. The vacation is over I, Orsini. Now we'll see which is more effective. Pretty words or the drums of war. There is times, Orsini, the old man on the edge of death. Do we strike? Bailey, let me think. You'll have everything. Well, position, fame, and even the woman if you want to. You've sweated for this how many years? All my life it seems, but I can't kill that old man. Then give me your orders. No, no. Let him live and make Borgia go to the devil. You fool, I'll do it. You'll obey me. Come to your senses. Is there no profit in fighting for lost causes? I am not so sure, my friend. Then hear me, Orsini. I give you notice. I withdraw from your service and offer my night to Shazard Borgia. You betrayed not only him but me. I'll not forget that. Perhaps you'll not forget Cheetah Del Monte either. Orsini, did I see you arguing with Mesha Bailey? No, my lord Berano, if I argued I think it was with myself. Have you decided yet on Borgia's demands? I have. No honorable man, no honorable city could give Borgia what he wants. And my lord, you've chosen well. And if fight you must, I offer one more sword against Shazard Borgia. Here is something you should know if you ever suffer from the sudden pain of headaches, neuritis, or neuralgia. It's a way to ease the pain often within a few minutes. A way that is incredibly fast and effective. It's anison. Anison is like a doctor's prescription. That is, anison contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven active ingredients in easy to take tablet form. Thousands of people were first introduced to anison through their own physicians or dentists. But today these tablets are in such widespread use that all drug counters have them, and anyone may enjoy their benefits. Next time you suffer from the pains of a headache, neuritis, or neuralgia, by all means try anison. You'll like the convenience of anison tablets. And you'll be delighted with anison's incredibly fast action. A-N-A-C-I-N. Anison. Ask for anison by name today at your drugsts. You are listening to the Screen Directors Playhouse, the Thursday night feature on NBC's All Star Festival, brought to you by R.C.A. Victor, world leader in radio, first in recorded music, first in television, and by the makers of anison for fast relief from the pain of headache, neuritis, and neuralgia. The Screen Directors Playhouse presentation of Prince of Foxes starring Douglas Fairbanks with Joyce McKenzie will continue in just a moment after a short pause for station identification. This is the Screen Directors Playhouse. We continue with the third act of Prince of Foxes starring Douglas Fairbanks as Orsini with Joyce McKenzie as Camilla. Music In its determination to oppose the demands of Cesar Borgia, the mountain city of Chita del Monte prepares for war, and as the blacksmiths forge their weapons, the eyes of Andrea Orsini are everywhere. You there, up on the wall. Help get that cannon into place. My people can fight Orsini. But time, time. Time we can. A military lesson, my lord. You know Borgia's battle strategy? No, I... I don't matter. I know it as I know my hand. First, intelligence about the enemy. He'll have that from my erstwhile friend, Mario Bale. Second, the battle order. Mounted troops, artillery, and then the infantry. But why wait for Borgia to attack? Why not go out and meet him? But we have only a few soldiers or CV, none of them trained. And still I ask, why wait like rats in a hole? No, my lord, to run. Wolves. Wolves who attack the bull. Wolves often perish in such an attack. Not wily, wolves. They wait for a chance to rush in from the side, avoid the sharp horns, and then they strike. But always at the weakest part. You know your profession well. I should, I learned it from a master. But now the apprentice rebels, and we attack. Your permission, my lord. And we attack Borgia's cavalry before it begins to climb your mountain. My lord, in respect to your years, the battle will be dangerous. These are my people, Orsini. When they ride out, I ride with them. Camilla, my dear. My lord has been weird as scar. I give it to you from my shoulders with my love and my prayers for your safety. Thank you. Goodbye, my dear. Orsini, I'll ride to the front. And for you, my lord Orsini, this handkerchief with my gratitude. Madonna. They cheated El Monte no victory before the sun has risen. They leave now. And suddenly the artist finds himself a soldier again. Well, my lady, it's all in a day's living. Let's hope it's not in a night's dying. Farewell, madonna. The archers hidden as only the wolf can hide them. Or the fox. Once I was called a fox. A prince of foxes. Well, we'll see. It's a good night, my lord. Clear and sweet. I smell a bitterness in the air, Orsini. The smell of battle. Someday, perhaps, there'll be an end to this. Once Cesar Borgia is destroyed, perhaps, my lord, we fight a battle in the last of wars. Once such words were spoken to me by my dearest friend. A soldier? Only in defence of his home he was a saint in honour and justice. He passed those virtues on to his only child. He's dead then? Yes. When he was killed, she needed refuge from the enemies of their family. I married her to assure her that refuge. I made her my daughter. So, you did not have to speak those words, madonna. I know, Orsini. But we face a battle and... who knows? Listen. Borgia's cavalry. Coming into the wood. Orsini, you command us now. Myself, my soldiers. I hope our own horses don't give us away. There. They're in the clearing. Close. Closer. Beautiful. Good fortune, my lord. Archers! We've won the day, sir. That news should heal your wounds. The wounds of an old man who sought to be a warrior. Please rest, my husband. Where all the wounded brought back to Cheetah del Monte... All are safe, my lord. And the battle continues. It continues well. Now you must rest. Soon you'll be strong again. No, my child. Orsini, give me your hand. It shall always be here, my lord. And you, Camilla. You have it. There are men. There are battles. Always a hatred. A fighting in our hearts. I've grown very old. And always searched for peace. But even the scraps of wisdom that come with aid deny it to me. Perhaps you will find it. An end to this. A last. Your kindness has brought me more peace than I'd ever known. Then, Camilla, I have done well. You have known peace once. May you know it again. And may you know love. Orsini? Yes, my lord. You have both been true to me. I have understood now, each other. My husband. The last battle, Madonna. Dawn yesterday, the city was besieged by the troops of Cesar Portia. Orsini, you can't keep on like this. A soldier has his duties, Madonna, and among the most distasteful is writing the Chronicle of the Battle. How long has it been since you've closed your eyes? Since the battle turned against us. What has it been? Two days? Three days a week? Once I said I could hold the city for an eternity. Now for an hour I scribble in a book. Sitte del Monte besieged by Cesar Portia. And who shall read your book? No other soldiers, perhaps a jaded historian here and there, and perhaps Madonna. All this shall be related as an adventure to amuse and frighten children. And how will you appear in this adventure? How? As a hero if we win, and certainly a villainous scoundrel if we lose. No, as a friend, and a true and honest nobleman. Nobleman, Camilla? I wonder if history will ever discover the truth of that.  Orsini, our food grows short. Then we'll eat less. And men have fallen ill. The devil take them then. Let them shoot their arrows from their beds. Orsini, if we fall... We won't fall. I'll hold this city till Borgia's men rot in their boots. You hear me, Madonna? I have failed in art and failed in politics, but as a soldier I will not be beaten. Orsini. Three months. Three months for this. Commanders, Orsini, what shall we do? The famine, pestilence, and the dead outnumber the living. One more assault and we're finished. Then let it be. Perhaps they'll show mercy. Mercy? My lady, only one thing remains. To take measures for your safety. What measures? There's a secret exit from the city. While Borgia's troops pillage, you'll escape into the open, and then on to Rerugio, Venice, wherever you wish. And you'll escort me? Only in spirit, Madonna. Then I intend to stay here. These are my suits. I'm too. Do you think so badly of me that I could crawl away while you and my people die? Heroism is a shallow thing, Madonna, if it's not rooted in wisdom. I don't intend to be wise. I intend only to stay here. Then for my sake, Camilla, escape while you can. For your sake? I said I'd failed in art and politics. I thought I could hold the city, and now I've failed at that too. But if you were safe, then my life has been to some purpose. Orsini. My life must have a purpose too. But you throw it away, you... Camilla, the artillery. It stopped. Two Borgia men under a flag of truth at the city gates. What do they want? A parley. Take them to the council hall. Madonna, we'll meet them together. Hurry now, change into your prettiest dress. If haggling's their game, the road may be longer than we thought. You bring me a message from Cesar Borgia? We do. May I introduce the emissaries, my lady? I've caused to know them well. This conceited devil is Captain Don Esteban Ramirez. I bow to the traitor, Orsini. Thank you. And this other one, him you remember, Mario Belli. He's risen in the world. What would you expect of a Judas? I'm bound to prosper. Do you come to ask for peace? As commanding officer of the forces of Cesar Borgia, I'm authorized by his excellence to make certain proposals which my master believes you may find to your advantage. Proceed. First, in return for the surrender of the city, my lord engages to restrain his soldiers from a sack to take no vengeance on you or your people. What security does he offer? His illustrious word. Huh? What else does your master desire? The above term shall be considered null and void unless the traitor Orsini be delivered alive into the hands of the Duke Cesar's officers. Then I am to be the main prize of war. Now we look forward to your company once again, Manifico. Return to your master. And your decision? Tell him I will set torches to the city rather than accept the conditions he offers. I shall convey your answer. We ask safe conduct back to our lines. You shall have it. Go. And so, my lord Orsini, we dispose of these matters. Imagine what food for the historians that Andrea Orsini shall become the prize of war. We reject the terms. We'll renew the defense. It will be the last, Madonna. I'm not afraid of death. But much more to the point I've made a sudden discovery. Neither am I. Deliver that message into the hands of his excellent Cesar Borgia swiftly as possible. Your lordship, Don Esteta. The prisoner surrendered himself. Execute him. I've no time for... Andrea Orsini. So... You accept our terms. I ask to be taken to Borgia. By his orders, I sit in his seat. Well, sit lightly, my friend, lest you damage your brains. Again? Your tongue? Perhaps we'll rip it out of you.  What difference? For all intents and purposes, I'm already dead. Yes, I'd say that was quite correct. And yet, like so many dead ones, it still influenced the living. What? You presume to dictate terms? Only to warn you to stand by the terms already offered. And if we don't? You'll conquer a dead city. In every building burned, every man, woman and child at corpse. There'll be less glory than loot, and the horror of Cheetah del Monte will be the name Cesar Borgia hated by all of history. We... We are men of honor. We stand by our terms. And I am your prisoner. And, my fine friend, of many words, some very amusing things are going to happen to you. The Lord said of Borgia, Duke of Beletinois and Duke of Romania. Borgia comes to claim what is his. On the contrary, Madonna Camilla, I come from Rome, not as a conqueror. Your troops have conquered. But, madam, I would create a bond of affection between us. What can I do to accomplish this? There's only one thing I would ask of you. You wouldn't grant it. Ask, Madonna. Ask and find out. Life and freedom for our senior, my lord. This is most touching. I ask only this of you. What you ask is not impossible. My lord. Such love as this is indeed rare, and I should respect it. Yes, I should do something about it. Can I dare to hope? Oh, yes, your excellence. I would certainly say that. You may hope. And I promise you'll be surprised. Oh, my lord. We'll discuss it at dinner tonight. Well, that's you, too. That dinner isn't eating. No, my lord Borgia. Nonsense. Maley, see that her excellence is fair. Ah, some fruit, my lady, to find plum. These grapes taken from your own garden. Nothing. Is it this orcini that prays upon your mind? Well, then, I promised to consider his case, didn't I? Should we invite him to join us at table? I have no words to thank you. You'll find them. Bring in the lord orcini. Immersive of God, what have you done to him? Ah, a few tricks. See how Donna Stabon's eyes glitter with the pride of his accomplishments. I told you, beaten. And clothed in rags, Madonna, the clothing of his station. Orcini, the peasants. I love and honor the lord, orcini. Lord, scum from a mountain hut who poorly played a game and poorly lost it. He was a lord only at my command, and now I return to him to what he was. The fraud stands before you. Bring the peasant closer. Mother of God. I ordered them to leave you your tongue, orcini. Have you any jest for us now? Any words of wisdom? My lord, Orsha, let me thank you for this last of all the things you've taught me. You've taught me that there is no victory in power. No honor in deceit. No future in living as you will live. Hated and alone. Madonna, Camila, forgive me for the misfortune I have brought upon your house. Orcini, peasant, noble. You are the lord to whom I humbly offer my love for all eternity. Ah, this joke has finished. Now I speak your sentence, Orcini. Barely seen that the lady keeps her chair. I will, my lord. Barely. You were his friend. Friend? Mario Barely? Mesa Barely stands alone against the world, an alchemist ever ready to transform his friends into gold.  Then listen, my friend, and see if you approve. Andrea Orcini, my sentence is that you shall be exposed in a cage on the castle tower. There to remain is a spectacle and warning. Until your bones drop apart. My lord, my lord, please. Take him from my side. Your Excellency, I protest. You, Barely, protest. What sentence is this for an ungrateful peasant who turned on your loving highness a half-dead carcass to rot in a cage? No. Barely, you think I've been too lenient? What would you suggest? Something clacker. Orcini, the painter, has been partial to colors. Let him enjoy them with empty sockets. I say, blind him. Blind him and set him on the road and wherever the poor wretch wanders, let him be a warning of your lordship's justice.  Take what you wish, but... Madonna, you begin to work me. Guards, close them out. I'll be your servant. I'll be your servant. Do you fancy the new sentence? Most fitting your excellence. Then it shall be done tomorrow. You might I suggest, my lord, why not here and now? My own two thumbs. You? Gouging's this thing. I promise you amusement. Look, like these two grapes, I hold them in my hand, then with my thumbs... This promises to be a show worth watching. Guards, tie his hands. Madonna, I do hope you're not squeamish. There shall be a sight to ponder in the dungeon, and you will. Bailey, you may proceed. I will, my lord. Camilla, one look. Take a good look at me, Orsini. It's the last thing you'll see. My thumbs. Scream, Orsini, act a part.  Scream. And now, my lord, it's I.  My lords, I show you the eyes of the peasant, Orsini. So be it, so be it. I now set the carry on upon the road to see the glory of his folly. In your hands. May my lord have a pleasant journey. There can be no pleasantries for those who don't yet have what they want. And you, Captain Bailey, I'll send for you when I have need of your excellent talents. I await your word. One point more, Donna Stabarton. I gave orders that the lady Camilla should be here to wish me farewell. Why isn't she by your side? My lord, she refused. And the coddling is over. Consign her excellence to her own dungeon. I was about to suggest a saving. Well, then I leave you now. Bailey, I shall continue to depend on you. Your magnificence has no more faithful servant than I. Then my future is assured, depending on which one of us is hanged first. And here is the Magnifico Orsini once again in the peasant hut. Bailey, my friend. Now let me see you. The wounds have almost healed. I've waited for you to come. The finest traitor of them all.  Who betrayed who and where did it start? No matter. My stomach has turned traitor to the rest of me. I've discovered the devil doesn't always pay the best. Bailey, Donna Camilla, as you will. Today says our Borgia road back to Rome. His final words were to have her imprisoned. But she's not harm. No. Who commands the castle? Don Esteban. Don Esteban, of course. Bailey, would you strike one more blow against the Borgia terror? With all my heart. One spark. One small spark could spread into a fire that would burn down his house. If we had money to hire mercenaries. We don't need them. While I've grown strong in this hut, the leaders of the people have come to me. The old soldiers. Ah, they are not tired of war? Not so long as they yearn for peace. I've made a plan, Bailey. Oh, the fox again. The fox. Now you say Camilla is in the dungeon. Bailey, Sapo, Fabio, all of you. Listen to me. We listen. This is the secret exit to the castle by which I once hoped Madonna Camilla would make her escape. It serves us now. I go alone to the dungeon. You follow and spread out through the city. When the moon is opposite the tower, then will be the time to strike. Questions? We know our parts. Then may fortune go with us this night. Answer the guard! Your keys, friend guard. You are punctual, Don Esteban. Camilla, well enough to find your beauty in these shadows. You weren't lying. A trick for Borgia's amusement. Tonight your people retake the city. I'll give the signal when you're safe. Then let's leave quickly. Every night Don Esteban comes here. He comes to... I have no words to express his evil. Guard! Don Esteban. Into the shadows. Here, your Excellency. Why aren't you at your post? Why? Orsini. Blind Orsini. What scheme is this? One of your own making? No matter. Your blindness will soon be over, Orsini. But look, Don Esteban. Can these be eyes, you see? And this time, my friend, I cast aside my words and take my sword. This time you'll die, artist. What?  I take it as my pleasure. Orsini! Don't fear, my lady. A touch of blood to make the flux more wily. Don Esteban! Look to your sword. Give you a message to take your master. Words again? No, steel. This, this fork. And back, Camilla. It's a long night's kill. My lady, when are you here? Bailey. My loopy boy. Hey, what's this? His Lordship, Don Esteban Ramirez. Ha! He'll have good company, Orsini. The city's taken? Ah, the fox planned well. I'll open the other cells, Madonna. Camilla. Then, then we are free, Orsini. Not as long as Borscha rules, but we might contrive to put a stop to that. Orsini. Ah, I marvel at the light that burns in my lady's eyes. For what? A soldier who dabbles in art. An artist who dabbles in war. A poor peasant. My lord, Orsini. My lady, Camilla. The Screen Directors Playhouse Presentation of Prince of Foxes and two fascinating performances by Douglas Fairbanks and Joyce McKenzie. Next Thursday, the Screen Directors Playhouse brings you a portrait in Scarlet as we present the powerful motion picture story, Ivy, directed by the late Sam Wood. And recreating her memorable starring role will be Joan Fontaine. Now, here again is tonight's star, Douglas Fairbanks. My lords and ladies, the audience are excellency. My lady, Joyce McKenzie. This peasant Orsini were a poor fellow indeed. It is strut across our drama without a deep and grateful bow to the director. So, may we dispense with Orsini and introduce you to the master artist who created Prince of Foxes and such other truly magnificent motion pictures as 12 o'clock high and Song of Bernadette, the director, Henry King. Thank you, Doug, and you, Joyce, for helping the director solve the problem. We are constantly being frustrated by this matter of becoming terrifically involved in a picture story. And at the same time, not being able to relax and see it as pure entertainment. But tonight, I finally made it. As I heard Prince of Foxes for the first time in a different medium, without having the worry of production sets, pacing, and camera angles, I leaned back and fairly enjoyed myself. Thanks for a fine adaptation, and good night. Light's production, Prince of Foxes, was presented through the courtesy of 20th Century Fox, whose Technicolor production, Halls of Montezuma, is having its world premiere simultaneously in Hollywood and New York tonight, starring Richard Whitmark. Douglas Fairbanks may soon be seen in the Columbia release, The Great Manhunt. Joyce McKenzie was heard through the courtesy of 20th Century Fox, producers of The Mudlark, starring Irene Dunn. Henry King's next picture soon to be released is, I'd Climb the Highest Mountain, starring Susan Hayward and Bill Lundigan. Tonight's cast included Bill Conrad, Raymond Burr, Lynn Allen, Lou Merrill, Herbert Butterfield, and Ben Wright. The Prince of Foxes from the novel by Samuel Schellebarger was adapted for radio by Richard Allen Simmons. The screen director's playhouse is produced by Howard Wiley, and directed by Bill Karn. This is Jimmy Wallington speaking, and inviting you to listen next Thursday when we present Joan Fontaine in Ivy. Listen again next week to screen director's playhouse, the Thursday night feature on NBC's All-Star Festival of Comedy, Music, Mystery, and Drama. Listen tomorrow evening to the one and only Duffy Staven, the Friday night feature of the All-Star Festival. Join Archie and the gang at Duffy Staven tomorrow night on in...


Welcome to Live at 525 with Vermont Interfaith Action. My name is Debbie Ingram. I'm the executive director of VIA. And VIA is an organization that has over 70 member and affiliated congregations who work together to affect systemic change on issues of social justice. And today we have an interesting topic for you about police engagement with the community in one particular neighborhood of Burlington. But I first want to recognize my guest for today, Bill Neil. Bill, would you tell folks who you are? Yes, glad to be back. I'm my second time here before the cameras. Retired pastor, worked as a pastor in many places over the years. But I keep coming back to Vermont and now that I'm retired, I'm back to Vermont for the rest of my days. And I'm even going to plan to make a reservation in the Memorial Garden of First Congregational Church for my final resting place. Glad to be back.  Yes, that's great. Well, we joke, but we have a very important topic to talk about today. And as I mentioned, it's about policing. And this is an issue that came to the forefront really as a result of the George Floyd horror, horrible killing. So several years ago now, we've had a couple of different organizing committees that have focused on racial justice, on the treatment of marginalized communities by police throughout the state. And so we've taken a variety of different steps, haven't we, Bill? You want to go over some of those that we've... Right. Well, normally in our work, we start out by doing a lot of research, inviting people that we identify as having some area of expertise and that larger issue that we're looking at. So in this case, in terms of policing and racial justice, we've talked to police chiefs and officers. We've talked to state police and local entities. We've talked to folks in the justice system, in the courts and the lawyers, etc. And as we got farther along in our conversations, we felt like the most important thing we could add in the life of any local community would be to help local citizens engage in some kind of conversation with their policing agency. And in order to facilitate that conversation, we developed a guide. Several pages focusing on questions that a local community group of citizens might bring to their policing agency for conversation to understand better. How are they dealing with training around racial bias in policing? What are their actual experiences with various persons of different categories? That guide was presented at a public presentation last year. So then the question was how to get it into the hands of local folks and see it get some traction and engage some folks in conversations. Yeah, thank you for that. And I would also just like to point out that we did base a lot of the questions and the categories on the Obama-era guide to 21st century policing. And so yeah, as you say, it's meant to be a way for folks to hold, hold police accountable, but also just really enter into a solid relational interaction with police. There are some questions there about how police deal with the stress of their jobs, which is tremendous. What they love about policing, why they got into it. I really encourage people to try to find common ground and really concentrate on the safety of our neighborhoods. But yes, as you said, we were trying to find ways to get into communities and we were having sort of varying degrees of success. But we are excited to reveal today that we have some traction with the Burlington Police Department. And a lot of that is because we decided to actually partner with another organization. So you want to tell us about that? Yes, one of our very active members in our committee knew of a fellow named Jud Allen. And Jud works with an outfit that he has developed called Healthy Cultures, Education and Research. It is a funded nonprofit that he has organized and developed. His own background is in social science, psychology, and we actually recently found out that he started out as a community organizer in one of his earlier communities. But he is currently working and creating these kinds of dialogues with folks in the Rhode Island area and has some outreach to some other communities, what he's working with. And again, the goal is to engage the local community with their policing agencies in ways to promote public safety. He has developed a very simple, quick, but very helpful questionnaire or survey that is presented to the residents. And as they respond to this survey, they are identifying their primary concerns around the area of public safety. So for example, one community was identified that safe walking to and from school for the school children was the most urgent, important need in that particular neighborhood or community. So this is a wonderful undertaking. We were wondering how to get our guide put into the hands of people that would make a difference. And say, for example, in Burlington, you already have a police commission that's organized. It's part of the community's process of discussion. But then how does it get to the citizens, to the residents in their various neighborhoods? So Jud's survey provides, we think, that in-road, that way to connect locally with the individual residents of a specific neighborhood. Yes, that's such an important point. Because some of the feedback we got about our guide specifically is that some of our questions are kind of heart-hitting and we were sort of asking people to kind of dive in the deep end of the pool. And Jud's philosophy and his questions, his methodology provides a little bit of a softer way to get in. And we're hoping that that will work well. So actually, we brought some slides today to show a little bit more about this plan. So he calls it the safer together solution. And so it's all about neighbors and police co-creating the kind of culture that they want to see in their own neighborhoods. The next slide. So the goals of this simply stated are to build trust. And it's both between the neighbors themselves and with the neighbors and the police. And then secondly, to generate transformational deep and sustained culture change. And that really is Jud's background is in what he calls cultural touch points that help to make change. Things that people can all agree on and that actually by addressing them, it makes an even deeper change. And then thirdly, to adopt a scientific step-by-step approach to reducing neighborhood crime and violence. So thanks for those slides. So we'll be able, we hope to not only broach the subject with the survey, but then to go even deeper. And Jud has some training that he would like to do on the cultural touch points. And then we have training that we would like to do on community organizing techniques. And so I think that this could be, you know, we're really hoping, we're excited, right? We're really hoping that this will be the kind of process that Burlington, you know, could really use that could really benefit from a long term. So let's talk a little bit, though, about how the process began in terms of getting. We do have kind of authorization from the powers that be. And you've been there every step of the way, Bill. So you want to tell us about how we did that? Well, we had originally introduced our guide itself to the police commission so that they would realize that that was a tool that might be available in some form to be put to use here in the Burlington area. But as we started working with Jud, and then we formed this partnership, we first met with the co-chairs of the police commission. And they said, well, you know, we want Bayon also to be aware of this through the Public Safety Committee of the City Council. So the Public Safety Committee includes representatives of the police commission, but other counselors and other folks from the community. So we met with them and gave our presentation. And then they referred us back to the police commission as a whole so that we could then be under their immediate sort of awareness, supervision, if you would say. So we met with them finally again for the final time for an authorization. They're not able to take this on as their project with us doing it on their behalf. But they were happy to have us do it and to have us do it with their okay, with their approval that we proceed. So it's our project and we'll be responsible for the entire effort as it goes through. And they will be completely in the loop. And of course, as Debbie has said, it's not just the neighbors that we'll be talking to, but the policing folks, the police officers and members of the policing department also will be invited to take the survey and participate, so that when we come to an understanding of what those priorities are, it will be a conversation, an ongoing conversation with not only the residents, but also the policing folks themselves. Yeah, so we are very pleased that we've gotten such good cooperation from the Police Commission and City Council as well. And yeah, I think it is a really exciting experiment, I guess. I have to be honest and say that we don't exactly have evidence of this whole process of us working together with, I mean, Judd has done some of this in the past in places, but this really focusing on policing is kind of new for him as well. So yeah, we're anxious to make sure that the people in neighborhoods of Burlington who may have felt unheard or left out of discussions, who may feel that because of some systemic biases or practices that aren't particularly favorable to them, that they've been singled out or they've had particular problems, I think we should just be candid about all these kind of challenges that we all face. But it really is our hope that folks will feel, everyone will feel listened to, that we'll be able to come up with a new definition even of public safety so that it really includes everyone. You know, there's certainly critics who say that the whole discussion around public safety is that, well, there's public safety for some people, some privileged people in our cities and towns all across the United States, but what's safe for some people is incredibly dangerous for other members of society. So we want to make sure that we're really honoring our values here in Vermont, which is that we want everyone to feel safe, to feel welcome. We want everyone to be able to flourish in our towns and cities, and I think that's part of what we love about Vermont. Absolutely. Yeah, so first of all, we're going to start with this survey. So we'll go back maybe to the process a little bit more specifically, and we are currently recruiting teams from our different congregations, many of them downtown Burlington congregations, to try to get them to go door to door. You don't hear that a lot, maybe. We are going to do some advertising on social media and websites and that kind of thing, right? But we do want to go door to door. But let's take a look at that survey, shall we? So we have slides there, so it's not that many questions, and basically the way it's going to be set up is that you state your level of agreement. So either you strongly agree, or you agree, or you're neutral, or you strongly disagree with all of these different statements. So you can walk safely. You can walk the streets safely day or night. We have safe workplaces is another one. We're safe from environmental pollution. The fourth one is marginalized groups, such as women, religious minorities, people of color, and LGBTQ plus are safe from assault and harassment. Another statement is we care for and protect those struggling with homelessness, mental illness, and substance abuse. So next slide. Then we go on and ask about whether people agree about the fact that property crimes are extremely rare. Are they? That violent crimes are rare, that our children are safe, and that people drive safely. And then I believe there's one more group. So then we also want to look at relations. So do people agree that police in my neighborhood have good relationships with all the neighbors? Do they agree that there's good coordination between police and other community service organizations? Do they agree that police and local government keep neighbors well informed about crime, violence, and safety? And then finally, do neighbors actively address crime, violence, and safety, and not just leaving it up to the police? So tell us about what's going to happen when we go door-to-door, Bill. Well, the first big challenge was to choose an identifiable neighborhood that we could focus our attention on. We initially came up with one idea, and that seemed a little bit maybe not the best, and then we tried another one, and that was way too big. It was a little bit like the mama bear and the papa bear and Goldilocks. I think we finally have settled on what is probably the most appropriate way to proceed. So we've identified the King Street neighborhood, which includes Maple Street, King Street, the sort of the immediately south of the downtown section of Burlington. There are individual homes. There are multiple dwelling apartment buildings. There are longtime Burlington residents, and there are new Americans. There are a nice, really good stretch of variety of Burlington residents in this area. And it's confined to a sort of a 10-square-block area, which would allow, hopefully, our volunteer canvassers to make very good contact with a number of residents. We have identified three visiting times on Wednesday afternoon, September 27th, or the early evening from 5.30 to 7.30, and then two times on Saturday, September 30th, 10 to noon in the morning and two to four in the afternoon. Both, all three of these canvassing times will begin with some get-together training, and we'll be going out in teams of two. Do I have it correctly? Are we having tablets for access? Yes, we do. We even have tablets. We're quite technologically advanced. Most of us, I would have been going with my clipboard in a piece of paper, but we'll figure out how to run the tablets. We'll do as many as we can in a good solid hour of door-to-door and then go back to our gathering place for a debriefing time for some refreshments and see how we did. So there are three separate occasions each time in groups of two, each time with the training and then the final debriefing to end. So really a solid hour of canvassing for each of these three time slots. Yes, thanks for that description. We really want to make sure that we reach out to people. It's not incumbent upon folks. We will post it on social media. We'll have links on websites because the whole survey can be accessed completely online. And I want to make sure everybody realizes it's totally confidential in terms of your name will not be associated with your answers and nobody will ever know how you've answered. And there are no right or wrong answers either because it's all about your opinion and your own personal experiences around the questions that are being asked. But we do want to make sure that we're being very proactive in terms of trying to reach people and not just do it in kind of a passive way where it's just like posted and it's up to you to figure it out. And then we're also hiring interpreters, different languages, folks who don't speak English as their first language. And we also wanted to not just translate the written survey and just say, well, here, we wanted to actually hire people that will be part of these canvassing teams who will be able to explain in somebody's native tongue in the same way that we explained to native English speakers so that we can actually have a conversation about it and fill out the survey together. So we're looking for folks who can be interpreted in Swahili and Nepalese, Burmese, Vietnamese, French, and Mai Mai, Smolian. We're thankful to Judd's Foundation for the grant that is providing the funding for these interpreters for the refreshments and snacks, et cetera. We're actually spending some very well-intentioned dollars to help this happen. And nothing is being paid for by the city or by any other fundraising process. It's Judd's money. It's going to a good purpose. That's right, yes. Thanks for bringing that out. The police commission seemed particularly pleased about that. Nobody has to appropriate any money. I'm sure at every level of Burlington's they're happy with that. That's right, that's right. Well, it shows the fact, too, that minor faith action is a community-based group. We are community members who are engaging in this, right?  You've come back here from living in other places and this is where you call your home. But there are folks like me, too, who don't live directly in Burlington, but I consider Burlington to really be part of my community. I live out in Williston, but I come in to Burlington to go to work, to have doctor's appointments, to see concerts and plays, to eat at restaurants, to visit with my friends, to go shopping. I mean, it's very much a central, a center of our social life in Vermont and I think not just for people in Chittenden County, but all over the state, right? So, yeah, we think of it as our community. One of our instructive wisdom pieces from our police chief was Burlington is really Vermont's downtown. And that includes in the policing department because the city has this police department, but when folks come from every which way, and that's true in Williston, too, the drivers that go through Williston, et cetera. So I think all of Chittenden County really realizes that the policing issues are much bigger than just the immediate residents of their local communities, which adds a whole other dimension to working together. Absolutely, absolutely. Yes, and the survey, too, is a first step. We want to make sure that people understand that. I mean, that's our primary focus because it's coming up real soon that we're going to do this door-to-door canvassing. But then once we get the survey completed by hopefully a fairly large number of people in that neighborhood, we will tabulate the results and we will get back to the people who filled out the survey, of course, but also other people in the neighborhood who weren't able to do that. And we're going to hold a community meeting first to reveal the results. And from that, we're hoping that one major issue will surface as, oh, this is obviously something that is of top concern. And as you already mentioned, the police are filling it out also. We've asked them to do that, and Chief Merred is cooperating with that. So that'll be very interesting on it to pick an issue. And then what's going to happen after that? Well, those that are interested and available will then form a task force designed to address that very specific hands-on issue that has emerged from the community itself. And that task force will meet, will look at resources, look at possible answers, solutions, fixes, and using judges' touch points of working for deep-level cultural change. We'll see how we can make the changes that would enhance that issue to provide greater public safety on that specific concern. And hopefully, in six months or so of meetings and effort, there will be a celebration of some significant substantial change that will affect the quality of our human lives in that community. To be quite honest, I say this as a longtime pastor, but it did bring tears to my eyes when I thought of this vision that we could actually address an issue, make a change that would change people's lives for the better. There's nothing in my view more empowering and more important than that kind of effort. Yes, yeah, thank you. I know exactly what you mean. The idea that, because as people of faith, we do hope to bring healing and reconciliation. That's one of the objects, one of the goals of all of our different faith traditions. And the IA does encompass Judaism and Catholicism and Protestantism and Islam and Hinduism and Buddhism and Unitarian Universalism. And all of those faith traditions emphasize bringing people together and respecting the dignity of all people and trying to help resolve conflict and bring reconciliation to communities. So it's really, and that's what we do, strive to do in the IA all the time, but this really has been kind of more obvious how, if it all comes together and if it all works well, how wonderful it could be if it actually comes to fruition. Yeah, yeah. And then this becomes, we hope, a repeatable process that having done it with some level of success and accomplishment in the King Street neighborhood area, then perhaps a year from now or less, we would be looking at another set of streets and neighborhoods in order to start all over again and see what that neighborhood is looking at as their issues and concerns. And not only in Burlington, but this process then can become a model for other communities throughout our state, throughout our region, throughout our area of interest and work. We have something here that we hope will be a repeatable process for making improvements that make a difference. Absolutely, yes. That's also very exciting to think that, yeah, the old North End, all the different parts of Burlington, we can also repeat it in the King Street neighborhood and we start over again and pick a different issue and focus on that. But yeah, I was just talking today we have organizers now of Runner of Faith Action does in different parts of the state and I was talking to our organizer in Brattleboro just today and he is waiting with a bated breath to see how this turns out. He's excited for us because that might be something that can be used in Brattleboro. We also have an organizer in Bennington where they've had a lot of challenges too around their policing and their judicial system. So, yeah, so we'll see but we are hopeful. Of course, as people of faith, we are hopeful people. Okay, if I had hope. That's right, there you go. So, all goes together. Great. Well, yeah, so I think that maybe we just kind of close out our time here by saying how much we appreciate the police commission and all the work that they've been trying to do. We've been following their work and this whole idea about community, community oversight, community engagement. I think it's really the key to having police departments that work well for everybody and we appreciate that our Burlington Police Commission has reached out and has definitely focused on that and seen us as not as like competition or anything to be feared but pleased to have us do this. We hope it will be a win-win for the neighborhood and the policing folks as well. Yes, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. And, yeah, and we do want to hear from the police themselves too. That's also really something that we want to stress that we, as you said earlier, we interviewed so many different police chiefs as we were preparing this and heard a lot about analysis of data. Nowadays, that happens more and more. We hear about them being much more focused on scientific methods of really verifying how people are treated by things that can be tracked but then also having that sense of qualitative analysis of what people's experiences are. So we're looking forward to bringing all that together as well. Well, great. Well, if you want to find out more about this project or about anything to do with the VIA, please visit our website. And if you live in that area in the King Street neighborhood, please come answer your door when we come knocking and stay tuned to hear the results of the survey and then the next steps. So thanks very much, Bill. It's been a great conversation. Amen. And thanks to everybody at home. Bye-bye.


What's up? My name is Sonali and today I'm with Navia. Hey guys. And for Vlogmas Day 10 I thought I would do something a little bit different. We had breakfast the other day and Navia's a signed model. So we were talking about all these random things about the modeling industry that I didn't know. Yeah And she was really shocked. Yeah Because there's honestly just so many things that people don't know of so today We're gonna be busting myths about the modeling industry. You want to start with your intro Just like where you're signed at and how do you got started? Yes So I started modeling about four and a half years ago acting was my first love, but it wasn't until Junior year of high school when I was watching I used to watch the victory secret fashion show religiously There was something about that one year when I was watching it. I was like just so inspired and mesmerized and I was like I want to do this. So I just remember Since then modeling was like my dream. I have to do it. I'm gonna do it And so out of high school when I think this was like my second year of college I'm like a year younger than everyone. So I was 18 at the time. And that's when I got scouted by IMG And it was very non-traditional I didn't get scouted at a mall or like anything like that which was something that I always dreamed of But I got scouted through instagram through there. Um We love your jeans. Have you heard of that? Yeah, it's called like we love your jeans and it's their scouting page So I got scouted through that The whole process took about a month, but long story short. They told me to Get signed locally and get experience. So I got signed locally to one agency And then I switched over to another one after my contract ended So I'm currently signed with saw agency in Atlanta and I have recently got signed to cgm in Miami So I'm signing two agencies and I've been working a lot. I've definitely Learned a lot these past four and a half years. So I feel like I have a lot of advice to give So let's get into the myths. I did a little question box on my instagram And we're going to go through those. So the first question is is it really as hard as they say to get signed? Yes and no, I think it kind of depends on the person really, but um I will say for me it was hard to get signed initially. I feel like there's like the stereotype where A lot of models like get signed instantly and then their career picks off, but I think The reality of it is that you have to do a lot of research on your part And what do you mean research like research as in look up agencies locally or any agencies you're interested in and then Look at their requirements. So all agencies have requirements And they'll have like what requirements such as like height requirements. I mean like those are the main requirements I'd say got it. Um, so then they'll have They'll have like a submissions page where you can submit pictures online or you can go to like an open call Got it. So I feel like I've had to research a lot and find out which agency is good And I've like always like follow them on instagram to see if I like them or not And yeah, so I went to a few open calls and met with different agencies and then yeah, so that's how I got signed Next question is how did you get started with modeling? So when I got signed to my agency, I learned very quickly that building your book is something super important like you have to do it if you want to go far in this industry and I was basically told to Book a lot of test shoots So a lot of people think that your agency sets up these test shoots, which in a way is true But in most cases it's the model that has to reach out to photographers and set out test shoots on their own and There's a lot of money that goes into it. This is where I was shook because I didn't I guess I did if I think about it Then I did realize that you do have to pay for your own Yeah shoots about your book because when I was getting into it That's why my mom didn't want to do it because it's a lot of money up front You have to pay for the photographers. You have to pay for hair Makeup and stylus and everything. Um, but I was I like hearing it from you. I was like, oh wait, that's a thing like yeah it's insane because a lot of people assume that Every photo shoot that I post I got paid for that where it was free. Yeah and no I paid for it out of my pocket and um It's hard, but you it's something that is necessary because the better your book is the more Job opportunities you'll get right basically and so and it's not like a one-time thing This is something that a model constantly has to do like quarterly. You have to update your book So but it's an investment.  And so Talk about tfp because as a photographer, I am in some of those facebook groups So so tfp is a term in the industry and like the modeling and photography industry And it stands for trade for print essentially both the model and the photographer are don't get paid Yeah, kind of and they both are trying to work on building their portfolio Yeah, and it's honestly a hit or miss. I've done a lot of tfps and Half the time the photos were great. I was in love with them the other half. I'm like No, like it could be better, but I mean it's it's a learning process You learn every time you have a shoe and yeah, do you do you go through their like galleries and stuff like that? I do before so there are sometimes when A photographer will directly reach out to me and I feel like with all the experience that I've had so far. I kind of Know whether their photography photography is going to benefit me or not And then sometimes my agent if she really likes someone's photography and a photographer reaches out to them then She'll kind of like set up the shoot. Got it. Yeah. Next question is do you feel pressure that you have to diet constantly? I did to be honest. I did in the beginning And I was just like always insecure with my body and I feel like that's so that's inevitable Like I feel like everyone not even models like everyone in general goes through that but as a model Um, there's just like this pressure that you always have to look good and I definitely did go on diets and it wasn't necessarily like the healthiest thing But I've learned over time That and I mean also the industry is changing. So they're not as strict about You know body image and all of that like that's definitely getting a lot better even though it's slow But I did feel pressured at one point towards the beginning of my career Um, where when I would go to shoots. I like Would be scared to eat a meal before a shoot. So I eat after and like I wouldn't necessarily starve myself but I just was very very Like annual about what I would eat and like when and you know all of that Yeah, but I think now it's gotten easier because You really just have to focus on taking care of yourself So I'm definitely not into like dieting or anything like that. It's more of a lifestyles You know, so I eat when I'm hungry and I make sure you eat healthy But it's all about balance and I feel like you just kind of It's just like an experience everyone goes through and you learn from it So speaking about meal plans someone asked do they create a meal plan for you? Do they give you like advice about what to eat like? um Yes, kind of My Agent has never done that, but I've definitely seen other agencies kind of Give advice on like healthy foods to eat and like what not to eat What stuff to stay away from which is pretty much like sugar fried foods and stuff But they do they do make it important to you know maintain a balance They don't they're not like never eat this like Like you know, so it's like It's not I don't think it's common, but I've definitely seen some agencies do that The next question I have is the modeling industry seems to be moving more to body confidence. Is this true? Yes a hundred percent I would say is still kind of slow and they could go a little faster But it's going in the right direction and I think a lot of major brands such as skims Yes, I was just thinking about yeah airy Skims airy. I mean, there's so many brands and they include everyone. They're so inclusive. I think now that All of these models look like real people. They're not super tall super skinny with like unrealistic I definitely think it's moving in the right direction. The next one is not a question It's a myth, but they said a pretty face is everything. So what I have to say about that is that's not true at all I think I've definitely gotten a lot of Dms in the past and it's like really tall beautiful people and they're like I want to model like I Everyone says I look good like I want to get into modeling and the thing that I find a little off about that is You can look really beautiful and you can have all of the Physical requirements to be a model. Yeah, but if you don't have like the will and the determination And if you're not gonna put in the hard work, right? I think like there's no point It's a lot of work. I feel like a lot of people think like oh, you just go to photo shoots all day Sit around get your hair and makeup done and pose like yeah No, it's yeah, but like it goes through like a day in the life Like if you're on a modeling job, like what's what's the hard part about it? Like I personally don't know so I would like to know so most of the time the call times are super super early Okay, so I have to wake up really early and make sure I you know my skin's looking good.  You're on set for hours and half the time Like you're not eating. I mean they have food on set, but it's like you don't have the time Yeah, you don't have the time to like sit down and be like, okay, let me take a break You're always on the go And I like back to why I was saying earlier like a pretty face is everything A lot of people think like okay like I have the face for modeling and they think like if you have the face and Your career career will kick off right essentially, but no you have to put in a lot of like time and investment into your book and There's a lot of work that has to come from your side And not just like your agency or agent Okay Yeah, and it takes a I will say it takes a while to get your first modeling job or to start getting jobs It took me two years to get my first modeling job. Yeah, and it was for um, it was called prom week at america smart Okay, okay. Do you know america's? I know that. Yeah. Yeah, and so it was for like Sherry hill and all these other Designers. Yeah, so it's like my first job and I was super super excited. Yeah, but it did take me two years And it's not gonna take everyone that long So, you know for some people they can get lucky and they'll get jobs instantly, but it really depends. Yeah, you just have to make sure you're Working on your book constantly. The next myth is that modeling brings in a lot of cash instantly Not true at all. I feel like if anything you're the one like Putting in yeah a lot of money. Yeah, so this is what not a lot of people know And I didn't know this either when I first started out. So basically when you get a modeling job Um, and I will say modeling jobs do pay well So like for a day job, it can range around to like a thousand thousand to a thousand five hundred or two thousand It really depends on the market when you do get a job. It can take up to 60 or 60 to 90 days or up to six months So you don't get that money instantly and a lot of times when you're traveling even though the client Says that they'll pay for travel and stay That money like for travel and stay that has to come out of your pocket until you get reimbursed This is what I was like. What so it's yeah, and it's all it's stressful at times because like I'm just a girl living in georgia like nannying like trying to support herself and like I feel like sometimes I don't have the funds to just Book a flight in a hotel for a job the next day. Yeah, so I definitely have to you like I've I've had to turn down jobs Some like a few times I've had to turn down jobs. Yeah, unless it's like a really big opportunity like, okay I will make it work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, but um, I think it takes a while for a model to fully establish yourself And I feel like I'm not Established yet like I'm still kind of working my way up to the point where I can just like full-time model and just be able to Not have to depend on like another source of income, right the next myth is that your skin has to be perfect all the time They want you to have perfect skin But obviously easier for the photographer Sometimes you just can't control how your skin. Oh, yeah, and I used to have really bad acne And I was so insecure about it always scared While you were like getting into modeling. Um, no while I was modeling I started with acne And so I was always scared like going into photo shoots. I thought it was really unprofessional coming in with bad skin Even though I did that's not so sad. No. Yeah. I mean, that's what I thought I was like so scared to like I was just like, oh my god. I'm so sorry They probably don't think I take care of my skin, but I have done everything in my power Yeah, to make sure my skin that page and she just does not want to be right sometimes So But I've slowly learned that like that's why there's photoshop.  Um, and the worst part is when they Tag me in a picture that they post And I've just gotten to the point where I've just like had to untag myself Which is like Honestly kind of bad like we all have our different angles and bad photos, but There's just some photos that I just feel so disrespected. I'm like, this does not look like me. Oh my gosh Yeah, so it happens I feel like I would do that too because like your page is a representation of you Yeah, so like an agency could go to your tagged photos and you know, so that's exactly why so with modeling your social media Is kind of like your online portfolio. Yeah, let's talk about your social media when it comes to social media um Our instagrams are kind of like our online portfolio So a lot of times clients will look at our instagram and that's how we can get both jobs Yeah, so I think it's really important that you Um, if you are interested in modeling to make sure you're maintaining a good presence online and nothing You know too inappropriate or anything like that. I honestly think it's so important to like express your opinions and where you stand But aside from that, I think it's good to just keep your Instagram clean and just make it all about you. Don't you know, don't try and be someone else Just make it all about you and like to make sure you're authentic about it Now I want to ask Navya some of my own questions because I am just kind of nosy and I want to know the dirty details So I feel like she's an open book. So for sure.  I didn't think about it. Um, so My first shoot that I've ever paid for out of well, my mom paid for it because I was younger So it was four hundred dollars. It was a photographer the makeup hair Silas and wardrobe And do they all usually work together? Do they all come up as a package usually or do? Yes, okay So in most cases they do come as a package Um, and at the time I thought four hundred dollars was a lot little did I know? Oh And I will say it depends on the market you're in like Atlanta It's a lot smaller market compared to new york la or miami and then miami, which I recently got signed to It's a lot bigger. Right. And so I've noticed that the photography Or a photographer is there a lot pricier, but I mean their work is good. So I get it But um, I went to miami a few weeks ago in november To build my book and one of the photoshoots I paid for which honestly tells me to say I paid nine hundred fifty dollars for it everything included. Yeah, okay, so it was like it was a swimsuit on the beach Um, I got the photos were bomb though. And yeah, no, they turn up all right because her photos are so killer Every time she goes also one question about that. Um, whenever the photographer gives you the photos How many do you get back like the edited photos and also how long is the shoot? Honestly, I would say between six to ten and The amount of time a shoot takes would be an hour to two hours So nothing more than that if it's just like a shoot for your book Okay, and do you get to choose your edited photos or do they choose for you? Um, yeah, in some cases I did get to choose my photos and my agent I will send all of the photos to my agent so she can choose the ones that she thinks would be good The miami shoot that I did I got to choose the photos. So, yeah, cool What has been the highest paying job? And then what has been your favorite job? So the highest paying job so far, um, was My re my most recent job that I had to fly to miami for. Okay. Um, and do they pay for your travel? Yes, commendations. Oh, yeah, because you got to remember. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And my favorite job I Would say adidas I worked for adidas last summer And it was kind of a dream come true because that was my first actually a two favorite job So the adidas job. Um, it was a day long job and you have the photos from that So funny story Adidas posted a sponsor post to that photo and it was like me and one of my model friends and I wasn't at the end of the photo The way I looked yeah, but I did get a lot of hate comments on that photo. So it wasn't necessarily about Me personally, but it was more so about the outfit or they were like the models like sickly Like are they even eating just comments like that? No, but like it It was kind of funny to me in a way because like I've never dealt with that like I've just never dealt with like hate comments like that and so it was like honestly very interesting because these people don't even know me Yeah, no, they don't even know me. So I'm kind of love like adidas didn't have me in that photo Okay, okay, but I never posted pictures But that was the only picture I saw because when we signed the contract, um, they don't really tell us Yeah, they didn't tell us where the photos would be or anything like that So it's kind of just like if you see it somewhere you see it and then you take a picture But yeah, okay, what's that other favorite job my other favorite job I recently booked a runway show with carolina herrera I don't know I think I've like heard of her Famous designer and I feel like I know of her. Is this in Miami? Well, it she's like base in new york. Okay, but it took place in Atlanta. Okay. Yeah So I remember my agent called me saying there's gonna be a runway show for carolina herrera this saturday Like I need you to be I need you to make sure like you're available But I don't know if you got the job or not. I'm standing here both to work right now And then the next day comes and she calls me saying I booked the job And it was it was exciting because runway has always been one of my dreams And I just love being on the runway and Yeah, it was a dream come true because that was my first ever runway show for a big designer Next question is how did you get the confidence? Like you said you were insecure about your acne Yeah, so like how did you freaking get the like you have to have so much confidence to model, right? No, for sure. So I think the more photoshoots. I did the more comfortable I got behind camera And that's honestly the only way but you got to fake it till you make it. Yeah Yeah, you gotta have confidence but I will say um The first few photoshoots I started doing I would look at the pictures and I'm like, wow like I did that Like I'm doing that and I think it kind of yeah, it's a fire under your butt Yeah, it really does and I think that's what's truly made me confident and I have also realized Each and every single person is unique and different In every way and that honestly sounds really cheesy, but I feel like I have features That set me apart from other models and vice versa So that's something that I that took me a while to realize and now I I'm like, I'm me and this is what I look like and I'm gonna do my thing on camera And you know, it my confidence didn't just show up overnight Like it's something that I had to work on and remind myself every single day But yeah, that's like something that helped me next question is how did you learn how to pose? Um Practice. Yeah, I it's it's a lot of practice and how like a trainer. Is that something? No, there are um runway training classes. I did take one when I signed to my first agency But with posing, I think the photographer usually kind of directs you in Away and yeah, actually you did help me that last time that we shot Yeah, I've shot with photographers when they don't like really direct me. I'm like, what are you doing? Yeah, it's kind of I like I direct so much that I'm just like Like I feel so awkward when they don't like even though I know how to pose. I feel like It's just something they should do. You know what I mean? No, for sure It's very helpful when the people on set direct me But I think over time like I said the more shoots you do the more comfortable and creative you'll get about posing And it's all about movement. You know, you really just kind of that's what I tell my friends. Yeah It just looks more like candid and yeah more genuine and not too like posed and not too stiff You know, and I will say the poses that feel really awkward or weird or something the best pose Yeah, like what is the hardest part about modeling? Um, I'd say the hardest part is rejection and how long it takes and I'm sure like everyone knows, you know, even if you're trying to get into modeling rejection is just a part of the industry that you're gonna have to deal with rejection what way rejection as in If you want to get signed with agencies and they reject you or like not getting enough jobs or like, you know When you go to casting calls and they don't pick you so I think rejection in all of those areas It's definitely hard and it kind of makes you question yourself worth almost. Yeah, um, but I think The more rejection you face you kind of become resilient and you you have to realize that It's literally not about you because modeling is a business at the end of the day And if they don't choose you it's not because they don't think you're prettier They don't don't think you're good enough. It's because they have a specific vision in mind and you just simply don't fit it But and I know that sounds harsh, but yeah, so every I always tell myself Every know that I get is one step closer to a yes last year. I went to New York and met with about like 19 agencies All of them said no to me and so New York has always been my dream And so I was I kind of didn't really I did take it a lot better than I thought I would but I was just like, what do I do now? Like I have to wait Like six months to a year before I try again Like what am I supposed to do because I dropped out of school thinking I was gonna move to New York I have this whole plan set for myself. All right, so next next question is Do you feel like you have an advantage of being Indian and brown now that diversity is a thing 100% I was thinking that because like I feel like at first Like at first it was kind of the opposite. Yes, exactly. Yeah, but now This is such a great time too. I feel like for people of color The industry wants to be more inclusive and more diverse and I feel like there aren't a lot of South Indian models. Okay in the industry. So I kind of Feel like I can sort of use that to my advantage. Like if I ever met with another agency or went to a casting it's like I am diverse. I have Qualities and traits that set me apart from Other people and I don't mean that in a cocky wear anything. I just mean like representation wise, right? Um, and in Miami, I feel like there are not a lot of Indian models in general Or like even just in full color like yeah anyone and so I'm super excited to kind of get into the market around this time and kind of be one of the Few diverse models. So it should be fun. Yeah, that's so cool That wraps up this video. I hope you guys enjoyed sharing more about her experiences Like I feel like that was probably the coolest video I filmed just because I love hearing about other industries Yeah, hearing people talk about Everything that they know on that industry. It's just really cool. You know, I had a fun time Kind of spilling the tea and everything. Um, I feel like we talked about a lot of stuff that Most people don't know feel free to follow Navya on instagram Like I said, her instagram is killing it My dms are always open like I always want to help and inspire people If you have questions or needed advice, like I will tell you everything that I know and what I did So that's awesome. Yeah, okay. Well, I'll see y'all in my next video. Bye
