Now, Roma Wines present... Suspense! Tonight, Dateline Lisbon, starring John Horiak. Suspense is presented for your enjoyment by Roma Wines. That's R-O-M-A, Roma Wines. Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live. To your happiness and entertaining guests. To your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now a glass full would be very pleasant. As Roma Wines bring you... Suspense! This is the man in black, here for the Roma Wine Company of Fresno, California. Who tonight from Hollywood bring you as star, the rising new film personality, whose performance you admired in Lifeboat. And whom you will soon be seeing co-starring with Lana Turner in MGM's Marriage is a Private Affair, Mr. John Horiak. For our suspense play this evening, we ask you to project time into the not-too-distant future. And so, with Dateline Lisbon and with the performance of John Horiak as William Baldwin, we again hope to keep you in... Suspense! Your name? William Baldwin. Occupation? I was a foreign correspondent. At the time that is of the murder with which you were charged? Around that time, yes. I see. Now, Mr. Baldwin, would you be good enough to tell the court where you were on October the 5th, 1944? I was in Lisbon, Portugal. Oh, can't you be more specific? Look, when you say I was in Lisbon during the invasion, you've told most of your story right there. You know the place. Yes, we know it. I should say that at one time or another during the course of the war, most of us here had occasion to pass through that port. That was the big way station, all right. The neutral terminal for the boys who worked for the Allies and those lined up with the Axis. You'd see a crowd from the Soviet anxious to get back to the Eastern Front in the sound of the Internationale. You'd see right behind them maybe a delegation of Nazis. Glad to be away from any front and sick of the Horst Wesselsaw. The lads from London wore their briefcases and striped trousers and ruled Britannia very clear in their ears. They were there, too. So were the guys from Warsaw. Their clothes getting a little threadbare, but the polonaise sounding as fresh and strong as it did four years before. And the French, not the Vichyites, but the ones who might be at the very next table, the free ones, who never stopped hearing La Marseillaise. Brass hats under ground agents' refugees and heels. That was Lisbon. It was about five or six in the evening when I walked into the lobby of the Hotel de Gama. You know the place right in the center of town. Anyway, I happened to glance up and I saw this girl standing about midway on that big marble staircase that leads down from the mezzanine. She had a like of camera up to her face and was drawing a bead on the whole lobby. Suddenly a little fella yelled up to her to stop.  He spotted the girl, too. The next second, he was the scariest looking character I'd ever seen. He whirled back away from the camera, but she'd already clicked the shutter. Then in another second, I got a shock myself. The girl lowered the camera from her face and... Yeah, it had to be her. She came down the staircase, winding up the film and the lycra, then started across the lobby and I was sure it was Terry. I hadn't seen her since I'd left New York, but you couldn't mistake that stride, not even after all those years.  It was hard, but the time was difficult for the girls, wasn't it? If you say so, Senor, but I haven't the faintest idea of what you're talking about. Oh, America! Oh, 3,000 parents. Ah, Mrs. I simply wish to apologize for my outburst. Clearly it was me. Outbursts? I... I'm sorry, Senor, but I don't get it even in English. It was when you were on the staircase, he yelled at you. Me, but what on earth for? I don't think he wanted you to take that picture.  Why should he? No. Hello, Terry. Bill Baldwin, it must be... 12 years. I didn't mean that. Since I've even heard about you. I've heard about you, though. You've been doing all right. I've been busy. Terry Moore covers the Burma Front. Terry Moore turns candid camera on allied leaders. Terry Moore shoots parade magazine picture of the week. You've been getting more publicity than Hitler. I work for a better concern. Bill, what on earth are you doing here? There's so much I want to know. We're being rude to your little friend. Oh, excuse me, Senor. You objected to my taking the picture? Oh, no, Mrs. Not at all. That is the point I wish to clear up. Oh, permit me. I am Don Luis Ferdinand de Sanchez Jesus de la Cartilland with Cristobal, the third. How do you do? But my friends call me Mosca. I can understand why. Yes. I should very much like to buy that picture. Buy it? Precisely. Well, that won't be necessary. I happen to have a developing outfit upstairs in my room. I'll run you off a copy myself. That's in case you can't wait until you see it in the magazine. The magazine? This picture you took will be published? Oh, yes. It's simply a shot to display the color of the city, the hotel. I see, Mrs. This may at first appear to be somewhat extraordinary request, but the fact is I'm a great admirer of your work, and I wonder if perhaps... You could have the original, the negative. Well, yes, senor. I did have that in mind. Do not be concerned. I'm quite prepared to go as high as, let us say, $5,000 in cash. Oh, come now. Well, then, let us say ten. What is this, a rib? No, Mrs. It is an offer. $10,000. You know something, senor? You're insane. But I'm not, and I'll take it out. Wait a second, Terry. I don't think I do that. Forgive me, but my proposition is with the Mrs. only. You couldn't have put it more plain, though. Now, listen, you don't think he wants to pay a silly price like that for just a good view of the lobby? He could get that on one of those penny postcards around here.  Yeah, you don't care what he wants it for because you don't even know what's in it.  We completed trade without any further discussion. $10,000 in exchange for the negative. That is correct. If you don't mind, senor, perhaps I had better think it over a while. I'm afraid that will not be possible. The offer is good only now. Then adios, senor. Well, let us trust you are making no mistake. Hasta la vista, Mrs. Buenas noches, senor.  How'd you like to make $50,000? I said how'd you like to make $50,000?  He was standing over there by the desk right in the center of your camera when you clicked the shutter. I never saw any. I did. I saw him try to dodge. From where I was standing, it looked like a $50,000 dodge, too. Why, you rock.  Do you believe that? No, I don't know. After all, I have much to go on, have I? 12 years is a long time. How do I know what you're like now, what you've become? I mentioned the fat man, Terry, because I think that picture's more important than you'll be willing to believe. Bill, listen to me. I want to know what happened to you. Your articles, your pieces about Europe, they just stopped. So did your letters. Well, there's something you've got to understand, Terry. Your pardon, please. Senorita Moore? Yes, I'm Terry Moore. Yes, you are wanted at the front desk, please. The front desk? For what? I do not know, Senorita, if you will follow me. You want me to hold your camera? Thanks, but I think I'd feel better taking care of it myself. Okay, Terry. Hurry back. I'll be right here waiting for you. I've been standing there about a minute, gentlemen, when I looked up and saw the fat guy. He stepped out of one of the lobby phone booths and headed to the cocktail lounge. I didn't want to lose track of him, so I followed. Pretty soon, I came Terry.  Okay, so you're right. And I hope you're satisfied. What happened? Get a better offer?  Your life? In return for leaving my camera on the third floor fire escape within the next 20 minutes, I should be permitted to go on living. Otherwise... No, don't sit down. Who told you all that? That's a silly remark, you don't know. The call was waiting for me at the desk. It was somebody at the other end of the telephone. Oh. Excuse me. My friend, you at the table. Stone deaf. And I'm fish-dark. You stop and see? Wow, how did you learn to speak? Yeah, yeah, well... Mind if we join you? I don't speak any English. Sound like the voice on the telephone? How can I tell if he doesn't speak English? What did he say? He said he doesn't speak English. Wait a second. Excuse me, pal, but I'd like you to meet the young lady you talked to on the phone. You better speak English. Every time she hears German, she goes to pieces. Creates a terrific scene. You will be good enough to leave me alone. I do not wish your company. Thank you. What about that, Thierry? I'm pretty sure that's it. Good. Have a seat. Oh, that's all right. Don't get up here. I don't believe I caught your name. Now, look, if you do not leave at once, I shall call the manager. I'll be glad to do it for you. You know, my friend, now that I've got a good look at you, I can't help feeling I've seen you before somewhere. Yes. Yes, I was thinking the same thing. Agnedius Foiland, you are very much mistaken. Oh, not with photographs. I've studied too many of them. And that's where I've seen you in a photograph. Now, let me tell you something. You have never seen me before. That is my advice to you. Except that there's something different. The clothes, I think. The white collar. Yes. You're right, Terry. The civilian clothes. I've got them spotted too. And not in a photograph. I'm going by a man I've seen a hundred times at the head of a parade on a dais in the public square in the back seat of an open touring car with guards on either side.   You see, I used to cover Poland for a number of American papers. And you granted me an interview once. Bill, he isn't... The general? Yes.   Why did you not stop when I advised you? Don't you see? There's nothing I can do now except take the Freiland's camera and kill the two of you. Look, I happen to have a gun too so you can put that thing away.  No, senior. He is not that crazy. Morska, you will please put away the gun. But I must insist. You will put the gun out of sight. So, you will now follow me from this room. No, no, I will not leave these people and permit them to... Do you want to bring everyone to this table? Do you wish a special spotlight for yourself? Now listen to me. I am the one in danger. And I am the one in charge. You will do as I tell you to do. Or you won't get him out of Europe. You see? You see, he knows. I thought, I thought, I shut him out. Who are you charging him, Morska? Every set he ever stole? It's worth it, you know. If the Poles knew this character was here, they'd tear him limb from limb. You talk a great deal, senior. One class will please get up from the chair. You must understand that nothing can be accomplished so long as we are here. We shall continue our negotiations with these charming people at some other time and place. At the German Embassy, let's say? Oh, nein, nein, nein. What's that, Herr General? My friends, you first must get to the Embassy. Again, Misses, hasta la vista, and adios, señor. The German Embassy, Bill.  That's right, and he's also taking it on a lamb. The final squeeze is about to begin and the General is deserting his post.  Yes, that's why he can't afford to have a stock. And Morska can't afford to lose his fee. Bill, what'll we do? You heard what he said. We're watching every exit to the rest of the night. Good. Meanwhile, we'll go dancing. Dancing? Yeah. Cross the floor to that door on the other side of the band and we're going to slip through that door up the service stairs and into your room. My room? That's right. And you're going to develop the General's picture. Tonight for suspense, Roma Wines are bringing you a star, Mr. John Hodiak, whom you have heard in the prologue to Dateline Lisbon by Harold Medford. The night's tale of suspense. Yes, it is true that our own wonderful vineyard country in California produces in Roma wines that discriminating people in many foreign lands esteem as an imported delicacy. Yet you here at home can enjoy these distinguished Roma wines for mere pennies a glassful. Daily with your meals or when entertaining or any time, you can delight yourself and your guests with the wonderful taste that comes from age old winemaking traditions perfected by modern knowledge. For a treat you are certain to enjoy, place on the table with dinner tomorrow night, a cool bottle of hearty, rich red Roma California burgundy. It doesn't matter what the meal is or what kind of glasses you use to serve Roma. It's good in any glass with any meal. Your family, your guests, will find new pleasure in even the simplest foods. For Roma wine makes any meal a feast that only pennies a glass. Try it yourself tomorrow. Ask your dealer for R-O-M-A, Roma wine. Remember, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine. And now it is with pleasure that we bring back to our sound stage Mr. John Hodiak as William Baldwin, a man on trial before a jury of his peers in Dateline Lisbon, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. You were testifying, Mr. Baldwin, that you and the young lady started up for a room. That's right. The rear way. Up the service stairs. I see. Mr. Baldwin, since you've already admitted the murder, are you sure there's need for such detail? I wanted you to have your record straight. There isn't much more of it, though. Very well. And so you've got the girl up to her room, eh? Yes. I remember very clearly. We stepped into her room. I shoved the bowl across the door. She switched on the light. And she went straight for her developing stuff. The tray and MQ2, the hypo, the usual paraphernalia, went to work. I knew what was in her mind. She was going to develop that picture and get out of there as fast as she possibly could. She was scared, I guess. Then when I stood there watching her, she stopped. For about half a minute, stared into space. Bill. What is it, Terry? You haven't said anything about going home, going back to America. You've been over here so long. Yeah. Say, you'll want those lights off when you start to develop that thing, won't you? Yes. Well, give me the signal when you're ready, huh? I think I'm ready now. Bill, there's something I've got to... What's that? What's what? That noise, then. Oh, I was just trying the door to be sure it was locked. A little jumpy, aren't you? I wouldn't be. There's not a soul who can get to you, Terry. So just relax. You were asking me something. Yes, Bill. What are you doing here? In Lisbon? Yes. I'm waiting. I've been waiting for months. You mean to get home? I can't go back to America, Terry. I'm on the list. I was surprised you didn't know that. Oh, no. Yeah, I've been waiting for a chance to escape. Your hunch is right. I stayed over here too long. I lost the feel of my country in the sense of what she was. And when I got around to repatriating the correspondence, I elected to stay behind. I'd been inoculated, Terry. I had the germ. So help me. I went for that spin about the new order of things. But you could... You don't mean you worked for them. I worked for them. There were a thousand things a guy in my position could help them with. Now that the heat's on, now that the walls are beginning to melt, you're making your getaway. That's right. Before the courts come to session and the sentences are handed out.   Yeah, we ought to make fine traveling companions. South America, I imagine. Oh, he and Muska don't know it yet, but that's how it's going to work. You see, the way I look at it, Von Klaus, he can certainly arrange one for me. You got the money to pay for it, huh? No, but I've got the picture. Your picture. If that thing's published and that the story gets out, the Senor's Underground Railroad is dead. He'll make a deal for that picture, all right. Let's not worry about that. No, Bill. You surely understand that I'm going to tell the story every part of it. I was afraid you'd feel that way. I don't have to make sure you don't. I see. All right, but you're not going to get this. Terry, get away from that picture. The door. Somebody opened the door. A bull wind. The picture. You have it? Von Klaus. It's safe, General. And put away. You'll find the light switch there by the door, left side. And Muska, but that door was locked. How did you open it? We didn't, Mrs. We opened this door. The closet. Then you were here all the time. You were listening. We were there when you entered the room. And you've already heard my proposition. What do you say, Muska? Is it a deal? But, of course, Senor. Of course. And now, if you would turn over the photograph. Yes, Senor. You get the photograph when I'm on my way with Von Klaus with the right kind of passport and tickets. Incidentally, how soon can you get me those? I'm in something of a rush. I understand, Senor. Tomorrow? Let's say tonight in about 30 minutes in the lobby. Look, why the hesitation? It's very simple. I've got the photograph and I've got a gun. What'll it be? You must know the answer, Senor. It is a deal. Okay. You can leave now. I've got some work to do. Very well. It shall be as you say, Senor. 30 minutes from now in the lobby. Von Klaus? Now, there's just one thing unsettled. Yes? The Froylein. For the sake of the security of all, I must insist she be silenced at once. You don't have to insist. I'm taking care of it myself. Now, you understand her, Balvin. In my present situation, I must be very sure of things. Yeah, sure. Meanwhile, I told you to clear out of here. Not till the Froylein is silenced.  This isn't a time for that or the place either. We can't... You select this time, Senor. And also select this place. Yeah. We heard you. Only one minute ago, preparing to shoot this girl. Then why do you delay her, Balvin? Why do you not proceed? Let gun again. Come on, General. Put it away. For what reason? What does it matter whose weapon you use? And why don't you make me put it away? She has no weapon. Bill. He has no weapon. I think you better make sure. Go on. He's covered. Your arms, Senor. Okay, so nothing there?  Very simple. He did not expect to kill her. There's nothing in that pocket. Then why did he say he was... Why? Because he heard the noise from the closet and he knew that we were here. Do you remember the moment, Mrs. He said he was trying the door? He knew we had guessed you would come to this room. We were here to finish you both. He was playing for time. He was bluffing. And about the Nazis, about escape.  Is that not so, Senor? It's not everything I say the truth, huh?  Oh, I can afford to talk big, Senor. I am sure now that you have no gun.  What's that? What is it? What are you doing? It's unloose of him, Balvin. I'll fire. Let's go! Just face from Klaus. There. You see, right in his hand. There's my gun, Senor. Okay, General, go on and fire. No, no, no, wait. Go on. In the way I'm lined up now, your bullet will go straight through Moscow first. Stop moving. He will seize the gun. He will... And now listen to me. I'll say to you now, Balvin, if you do not release him in exactly five seconds, I shall shoot the Friar and Dead. Go on. And meanwhile, I'll work on Moscow. It'll take more than five seconds to strangle him.  But the chances are great. You'll hit him. And he's your only means of escape. Take your hands from his throat. You're one single lifeline, Van Klaus. Oh, Balvin! He's the only guy who knows the ropes. I mean, his time is running out. No, wait. Wait, listen. We can make some arrangements. All right. All right, Van Klaus. Put your gun on the table. We'll go on from there. The gun on? Your life's going fast, Van Klaus. The one man who can save your neck's getting pretty limp. Put your gun on the table. Whatever else you listen, Marney, what is your price? How much? My God, stop. There. It's on the table. Now let him go, Balvin. Please, let him go. Let's hurry the gun. Yes. Here, Bill. Here it is. Thanks. It'll be OK in a minute. The gun, what are you? Never mind that. Just tell me your full name. I do not understand... Answer the question. What's your full name? Maximilian Reinhard Van Klaus. Occupation? Now... Occupation, I said. What's your occupation? I am... I was divisional commander of police for the district of Warsaw in Poland. At the time that is of the slaughter? The slaughter? The mass executions of May 9th in the year 1940. When your men at your order went into the homes of those who went cooperative enough and machined gunned the women and children. What is this? You're standing trial for murder. Standing trial for... You're mad. There can be no trial. There's no judge... I'm the judge, Van Klaus. And those two, the jury. Terry Moore and Mosca. But our arrangements, you satisfied. Put the gun on the table. I turned loose of your little pal. Well, I did. That was our only arrangement. And now I want to know how you plead, guilty or not guilty, for the execution of those families. Those families? How would I know such families? You wouldn't know, but I would.  Now, Baldwin, wait. Give me a chance. A chance? Those Poles didn't even have a trial. You had them shot in cold blood without even passing sentence. And you're getting all of that, Van Klaus. You're really getting the works. Now, you must understand these measures. Look, I will show you. It's a matter of administration. Did you or did you not have those people killed? I'm trying to explain that to you. It was military expediency. The entire procedure.  In other words, you're dead. Yes, right there. That's all I wanted to hear. You're verdict, Terry. What is it? No, no, please. I say the man is guilty. Mosca's not able to vote right now, so I'll have to do it for him. No, no. I say you're guilty, Van Klaus. So for the crime of multiple murder, I sentence you to death. No, please. My God, have mercy on your soul. Gentlemen of the jury, the commission of murder has been very plainly established. So, in the case of world democracies versus the defendant, William Baldwin, what will your verdict be? Your honor, we find the defendant guilty. Guilty. And direct that he be freed at once to receive the court's commendation. Thank you, gentlemen. In view of the somewhat irregular circumstances, we see no reason to dissent. There is, however, a question. We know, of course, that this Mosca has been imprisoned since the collapse of the Axis powers. But that picture, Mr. Baldwin, Teddy Moore's photograph of Van Klaus, whatever became of that. Oh, well, he was essentially even married. It's the one thing I don't dare mention. She's pretty touchy about it. Yes, but you did develop it finally. Oh, sure, and it was, uh... Well, sir, the thing was just a blur. And so closes Dateline Lisbon, starring John Hodiak. Tonight's study in Suspense. Suspense is produced and directed by William Spear. If you are one who does not yet know how much and how delightfully Roma wines can add to your meals, well, let me urge you not to miss out any longer on such a treat as this. There's nothing complicated about it. Just get and serve Roma wine with meals or any time in any kind of glass you wish. Try the many different kinds of Roma wine until you find those you like best of all. Try Roma California sherry with its wonderful nut-like flavor as an appetizer. Then, hearty Roma burgundy or the deliciously delicate Roma sautern with the meal. These superb wines make even the simplest meal a feast. Yet they cost you only pennies a glassful. Get some tomorrow. And if your dealer is temporarily out of Roma, please try again soon. Ask for R-O-M-A, Roma wines. Remember, more Americans enjoy Roma than any other wine. This winter, every kind of fuel for home heating will be extremely scarce. Arrange for your fuel supply immediately. Check all your heating equipment now. If possible, protect yourself against loss of heat by seeing to proper insulation, storm sash, and weather stripping. If you don't prepare now for heavier weather, you may be in for a cold, uncomfortable winter. Next Thursday, same time, you will hear Mr. Reginald Gardner the star of suspense.

The American Trail. American Trail. Blaze in blood. Defend it in blood. Chapter 13. The Brave Flag. The flag. A familiar sight, a familiar thing. You see everywhere. The most often you see it in your mind's eye. There it is, stretching softly in the wind on that ship bearing past the statue of Liberty. There it is, hanging limply from the flagpole of an army post in Kansas, deep-worn, almost in dead center of the Great Continent. There it is in that picture. Four marines and a stick of wood and a piece of cloth on the flash of color. And an insignificant place called Iwo Jima. There it is in your heart. That feeling that it's always been flying always will be flying. Some place, somewhere. The flag. The American flag. Will it? That history book over there, pick it up, boy. This one? That's it. Just a couple of pages farther back. See it? This one with the funny ship? Yes. It's one of those old engravings at the port of New York. But look at those flags, all those flags. Not one American flag. Do you notice that sun? Not an American flag in the place. No, it wasn't always there. It was in 1976, in New York. And when we meet in Philadelphia, gentlemen, we hope we can devise an instrument for the good of ourselves and all these... What are you going to do, Moses? Going to get out. But Jefferson's right. We can have independence from England. We can have our own country here. I'm not taking any chances. You'd better not. You see that man up there? Five pounds for your one next time we see him. Won't have much to say then, will he? No way it was. Some did, some didn't, but enough did. Well, that man they were talking about, he didn't hang after all, but he did almost die of cold and hunger at Valley Forge. And he saw his men die in pain at Trenton and Monmouth in Yorktown.  A bullet in the head hurt just as much then as it does now. And a lot of the men who died didn't even have a decent pair of shoes to die of. And that man they were talking about? I, George Washington, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully excuse you. Splash of color. Stick of wood. It could have been ripped down before it even got up there. It could have died a bornix. The American Republic was a fave in arms. The British Empire was the greatest naval and military power in the world. In 1812... Hey, too, we're boarding to get off English subject. Stand off! Are we fired? A few pages in the history book. But when it was over, the American flag could fly in freedom over the seven seas. It could have died a bornix. It could have been buried on plains or mountainsides or deserts as the pioneers moved westward. Because the land didn't give an inch, neither, son. The flag could have been ripped apart in 1816. Just keep on flipping through the book. War between states. The picture? A pup tent, a general. A president, a photographer. The American flag. The president stands on a battlefield. Get him. That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. And that's the government of the people. Yes, he died soon after that. Of course, they buried a big flag with him. From here. Look, the pictures are getting better now. See that old coal-burning cruiser? You can practically hear Admiral Dewey snarling for full speed. He's blasting fire all guns. And a flag. And this picture right up into modern times now. World War I. There was marching and cheering in the streets.  And it was a wonderful time to be alive. And the ship ships were trapped in the gullows with excited youth wanting to get over there and don't take this world. They flew over little plots of ground where other flags were buried in the hearts of the countrymen. In France and Belgium in the cold floor of the North Atlantic. You can show the history book away now, son. Oh, but that isn't all. My father and my uncle George were in the... Sure, I know. The Second World War. Sure, that's happened. But the history is just being written now. The pictures will be better, of course. Excellent film, magnificent shots from all angles, theirs and ours. That's the thing about pictures. This one. This one.  A desperate in the West, another desperate in the East and suddenly the great American continent seeming vulnerable at bay and now the pictures crowd one on top of another. A prime minister speaks. Winston Churchill. Not only the British Empire now, but the United States are fighting for life. Behind these great combatant communities are reigned all the spirit and hope of all the conquered countries in Europe. Yes, that was a nice picture. We weren't alone. Suddenly there were many nations fighting one fight, the one good fight, the toughest fight we ever had. No, I've had it. Over. The beautiful blue Pacific wait is below. And in another ocean, in another climate. I can't hang on any longer. Me neither. I swear that last plane saw us. Guess they didn't know. No, I guess they didn't. But did you notice one thing in those pictures you hardly ever saw an American boy fighting alone? Lots of other boys, lots of other uniforms, lots of other flags. And today they're still fighting together, fighting to preserve peace. Sure, the flag is up there. Partly because we're big and strong, but there's another bigger reason. Before you put a flag on a stick or even on a piece of cloth, it's got to be flying in the hearts of the countrymen. What of the flag? What of the hearts of the countrymen? Sibley, Iowa, population 2559. Mrs. McMurray's kitchen and the big green house, three blocks from the post office. No, we never had any boys in the service, girls, neither. Never had any children of any kind. It just reached me that ladle up there, darned the ladders busted again. Here you are. Thanks. Yes, sir. I guess you came to the wrong place. Well, I saw that big American flag outside the house, so I... Yes, we got that big flag out there, and lots of people think it's because we had boys in the service, but think so. Well, thanks very much anyway, Mrs. McMurray. I guess I'll be running along. Stay the lunch if you like. That smells wonderful, but no thanks. Would you mind telling me one thing, though? If you and Mr. McMurray haven't any children, why the deuce are you cooking about five gallons of beef stew for lunch? Won't be none of it left tomorrow. I'll tell you that. You see, Bob and me adopted four European children right at the end of the war. Started with one and one led to another. All kinds of ways to keep democracy alive, son. Don't forget that. That's why the flag's flying out front. Grindstone, Maine. Population 60. Temperature 17 degrees below zero. What of the flag? What of the hearts of the countrymen? Well, now ain't we fancy? A fella like you comes down from the city. Can't hardly tell what he's talking about.   If you see a good bill coming, well, I vote for it. See a bad one, vote against it. But don't just stand there. Go run for office or something. Step aside now, boy. If people work for the flag, the flag will take care of itself. Get up there now.  Try if you want me to, but... I think all that anesthetic that they gave me hasn't worn off. That's all right, son. Well, to me, it's like that thing there in the New York Harbor. You mean the inscription on the Statue of Liberty that says, give me your tired, your poor? Yeah, that's it. You see, that means something personal to me. My grandfather came from Poland, and he memorized that. It was the first thing he learned when he learned to speak English. I guess the flag means something different to everybody. To me, it means that once this country stepped down and said, come on in. Join us for better or worse. Being a soldier in Korea means it's... for the worse right now, that's only part of the deal. But it's not the only part of the deal. Unquote. Don't forget to spell my name right. Hey, what's the rest of that?  The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these the homeless tempest toss to me. I lift my lap beside the golden door. Sleep tight, soldier. Well, that's about it. Yeah, that's it.  Yes, quite a lot. And I suppose the next thing you say is, where do we go from here? Yeah, I'd like to know. Nobody knows exactly where anybody's going from here, but we do know what happens to America now is up to us, all of us. Listen to these words from the President of the United States. The job of being an American is an unfinished job. In terms of what we plan and hope for and can achieve, America will always be an unfinished job. Most of all, it is the job of America's youth. More than any others, the young people of our country have the right to ask, where are we going? Because wherever we go, they will be there. Now, it has been my good fortune to spend all my life with young people. I think I sense of what is on their minds in these troubled days. They hope, of course, to build a stronger, better America as the cornerstone of a free world. A strong America, an America growing in spiritual and material strength, is a bulwark against war. But more than that, only a strong and free America, actively cooperating with the free world, can give substance to the hope of lasting peace. Our crusade sees for tomorrow an America filled with opportunity that passes far beyond the little limits of today. America's role will be a decisive role. My message to you, my message to the youth of our country, is that America is not through. America is unfinished business, the most important unfinished business in the whole world. President Eisenhower said that. Yes. Well, that's it. But here before you go, son, you're going to need plenty of help. Better take these with you. Declaration of Independence, Bunker Hill, Bill of Rights, The Emancipation Proclamation, Gettysburg, The Constitution, The Enterprise, Bellow Wood, Anzio Normandy, Guadalcanal, Boulder Dam, The Mississippi, The Boney Shores of Maine, The Deep Gulf, The Blue Pacific, Taurus the Lake in Flatland, And a stick of wood, A piece of cloth, A splash of color. Good luck, son. This is the final chapter of the American Trail, brought to you by the ladies' auxiliary to the veterans of foreign wars.


Now with you on the Van Dool hurry up Greg Sussman gave Marenzie here with you And we have a couple early games left to get you and that begins in Carolina with the Carolina Panthers Hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers there six-point favorites at home game. You know the Carolina Panthers have been a staple for me over the years Greg and I was very very high on the Panthers coming into the year I love their season win total over eight and a half wins You'll often hear me use the term perception versus reality There's a perception that Carolina aren't that good I think there's a negativity often around Cam Newton from people that just quite frankly don't like them as we talked about last week Why would Baltimore be favorite? Like I still like so Carolina beat the Philadelphia Eagles and Facebook will change on the road But then they go home and and their underdogs which leads us into this week last week was last week and often That's where people get burnt And this is how I've survived doing this for as long as I have is that I understand that what happened last week won't repeat itself And you're not betting what happened last week. I think a lot of people will I think a lot of you know as sort of You know Johnny six pack let's call them so say well look Carolina beat Philadelphia on the road And they beat Baltimore last week. How do they not beat up on Tampa Bay here? I like Tampa Bay plus the points here now You know, I've been Carolina's my go-to team. I have that win total so I want Carolina to win this game I don't think Carolina will win this game But Carolina have a tendency to take the pedal off the metal at home And if you want to talk about me knowing teams and not knowing teams I I'm inside these guys I might as well be in a Panther locker room. All right I know their drill and when they go on the road the Panthers will be sloppy They'll do a frenetic come back and they usually fall short They came back and ended up winning the game against Philadelphia at home They're pretty they're pretty freaking good at home and what they'll do is they'll come out You'll see all the Panthers are up 14 nothing. Oh, they're nailing it. Let's see, you know, it'll be 14 7 It'll be 14 10 and then sort of be a 21 10. It's like they're like a cotton mouse game to Panthers They never really drill you and pull away, but they're never really in danger I think this Panther teams a lot better and people think they are but now you got Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing a football He's carefree. He doesn't care if he throws an interception He's not feeling any pressure and he's gonna turn the ball over less than James Winston was Tampa Bay are a mess right now. You can replace Winston in Fitzpatrick and play musical chairs all you want You're not it's nothing changing anything. They need to get new quarterbacks. They needed to get new coaches there Dirk Cutter is also a big problem there, but without being stated I think the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a nice spot to cover the number here I think Carolina wins late field goal or Carolina gets backdoored by Ryan Fitzpatrick. Give me the bucks plus the points


Hi everyone, this is Jason here from Nathaniel School of Music. In this lesson we are going to focus on hand independence. Yes, if you follow this channel for a while now, you know that a lot of the stuff which goes on on the channel is focused on hand independence. But as I try to do in each of my hand independence videos is to try and focus on either a different genre of music or a different aspect or a different challenge of hand independence, right? So in this video, what the right hand is going to do is two things. The right hand is going to focus on a steady chord progression, a very simple two chord one, E minor 7th and A 7th. I will break down the chords very shortly and it's also going to be playing a melody. Now normally what you do when you are playing chord hits in the right hand or even a melody, you would end up playing like a steady pulse in the left hand, right? And most of my lessons on independence, especially at a more beginner level, cover the ability or cover the skill of developing a steady pulse and that pulse can be either a single root note or it could be a chord. It could be anything for that matter. So in this video, however, we are going to look at a bass line, something which you would expect a bass player in a band, a bass guitar player in a band to do. So one might, one might argue that whatever I'm teaching you now would apply a lot for rock music or for funk music or for blues music in specific because in these genres, the left hand pretty much will need to play what the bass player is doing or at least follow the drummer, the kick and the snare of the drummer. So this becomes a serious independence challenge because unlike a bass player in a band, you don't have to only play the bass line on the piano. You have to always ask the question, okay, what is the right hand doing, right? So in this exercise, we are going to start with chords in the right hand and then we are going to do a melody and throughout the lesson notation for each of these exercises will be provided. It's my handwritten notation. It's not, I would say officially done in a software, but I think the reason why I do it in handwritten form is so that I hope it can be understandable or more understandable by you guys and that's the way it is. So you can always download yourself a copy of the handwritten notation on our Patreon page. It'll also help support the channel and help us grow forward, right? So let's get started with the lesson and if you haven't already, if you're watching this video and if you haven't subscribed, please hit the subscribe button, turn on the bell for notifications because we are going to do a lot of lessons as we have been doing and we are going to just pretty much keep going forward with new lessons on a variety of music topics, not just piano. It'll also be theory, year training and various other live streams covering rhythm exercises and of course learning songs. So it's very important to subscribe to the channel, otherwise you're not going to get regular notifications, right? So let's get started. In the right hand, you have two chords. You have E minor seventh and A dominant seventh. Now, if you are a beginner or if you've not really encountered these seventh chords, you could just, you know, play the minor and the major triads without complicating it too much. You would even go E minor and A major. But of course, this is a highly inefficient way of playing the two triads. You would need inversions. So treat this also as a very good independence challenge. So you go E minor. Maybe you could start with this version of E minor, E G B and then this version of A major, E A C sharp, E G B, E A C sharp. If you have any doubts with inversions, we've done a lot of chord inversions videos. We have a playlist on our YouTube channel. So click that and you'll find it in the description. Anyway, so what I want you to do is get acquainted with the different shapes of your chords as well as the chord changes because if you don't know your chord changes and if you, yeah, if you have complications in finding your notes, independence is going to be really tricky because independence is trying to develop things using just muscle memory and just using sort of the subconscious mind, where you're not supposed to think when you play. Otherwise it starts getting a bit scary. So first work your shifting between the chords. So you have E minor to A major, option one. Option two is you'll have the inversion of E minor, which is G B E. Okay, that's the first inversion. And this is how we go to A major.  I quite like maintaining a kind of a sort of unwritten rule where when you play chords played in and around middle C, whenever you do that, you gel well with a band. And more importantly, you make the singer sound good because the singer will highlight some of the higher notes. So it's always good to play your piano chords, especially during accompaniment and playing with a rock band in and around middle C. Okay, so second option E minor in first inversion going to A major in root position and then B E G. That's your second inversion of E minor going to C sharp E A B E G C sharp E A. As you can see with inversions, things become a lot easy when it comes to shifting. And to test it, you may want to just kind of play the chords either without looking or just close your eyes and just get the shapes. Just like a guitar player would do when you practice chord changes. You have to make the challenge of a chord change blind. You have to do it without looking, at least two chords at a time. Okay, now if you're a more intermediate player, if you've been playing seventh chords, you could also sneak in a seventh chord for each of these. So E minor. Now I'm starting with E minor in this particular shape. Okay, now what I'm adding is the minor seventh. So E minor is the normal triad. Minor seventh would be the flattened seventh or the dominant seventh. Now a lot of people, when we learn these seventh chords or seventh intervals, we first build the triad and then we go above that and then get our minor seventh. The challenge of this approach is you're not going to work with that seventh interval across different inversions of the chord. So if you're here, how are you going to know the minor seventh? Well, some of you may know it's D. You know, because E, D, that's the dominant seventh or the minor seventh interval. But on the piano, it's a whole new game because where is the D? At the spur of the moment, you're not going to find it that easily. If you're thinking E, G, B, D. If you're thinking, oh, D should always come above the triad. So the way I look at the seventh chords is first get the triad in any position possible. In this case, B, E, G. Ask yourself, what chord am I playing? Currently, I'm playing E minor. So E is the root of the chord. If you want to find the seventh of this chord or the flat seven in this case, always move down a tone or what I like to call two chromatic steps. So E, D sharp, D. That's the simplest way to form a minor seventh chord in my opinion. It's almost guitar-like. If you look at guitar intervals and forming chords on the guitar, I guess a lot of guitar people use that approach. So find the triad and add the seventh somehow. So there we go. So if you're here, where is the seventh? Now, the seventh is either two steps below the root. You could play it there. Or the seventh, if you're here, could be looked at as two steps below this root. There's still an E here, right? So you go E minor seven. So E minor seventh again, you get this shape. You get this shape. First play E minor, then add the seventh. And maybe in this shape, seventh is nothing but root minus two. And each inversion, especially when you play seventh chords, actually sounds very different. If you take a major seventh chord, let's say A major. And if you play the seventh, you can play it up top. And what is a major seventh compared to a minor seventh? A major seventh is the octave minus one. Octave or the root minus one. So if you're here, you can still get to your major seventh. If you're here, root minus one. You don't move minus one. You add a note, which is minus one or one semitone below your root or your octave. So major seventh, that's your G sharp. Minor seventh, which is your G, thus creating a dominant seventh sound. OK, great. So that's about your chord.  If you've been playing for a while, you could play the chords in this way. B, D, E, G for E minor. And A is A, C sharp, E, G for A dominant seventh. So B, D, E, G, A, C sharp, E, G. And we are going to play the chords in the right hand using three methods. First off, we're just going to play semibreves or whole notes. Just hold on to the chord. Two, three, four, change. Two, three, four, change. Counting four. Second way, we'll be using half notes or else known as minims. Two, three, four, one, two, three, four. One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four. And last but not least, on the pulse, what we call is crotchets or quarter notes. So you go, every chord is hit four times. And when you do pulse notes or crotchets, we can focus on some dynamics. So choppy, choppy, long. The last one can be long or accented. Two, three, four, one, two, three, four. Always remind yourself of what a drummer would do, especially with the hi-hat of the drum, which will generally open out at the end of the bar. Something like, right? Ultimately, you're playing rock music in this case, so you have to observe what the rest of the musicians are doing in your ensemble. Fine, so chords in the right hand, E minor seventh, A dominant seventh, played in a variety of ways. I'm just showing you for this lesson, this shape and this shape. And you're gonna wanna play it as semi-brieves in the first case, long, minims in the second case, one, two, three, four. And lastly, crotchets or quarter notes in the third case, following the pulse with some dynamics. Okay. And the lesson will include chords in the right hand. Once we do that very well, we will then move on to a melody line, which I've also composed. Okay, now coming to the left hand. The left hand is gonna do something which you may find rather unique as a piano player who just plays maybe ballads, country music, folk music, or just singer-songwriter stuff. You know, or even for that matter, classical music, because you don't have a defined melody in the bass. You don't have a very defined bass groove or a bass tune, which is happening here. That's what I tried to incorporate in this lesson. So I'll just show you the bass line and then I'm gonna break it down. Okay. It's quite easy. You just need to use all your five fingers of the left hand. Just see how they are aligned. E, F sharp, G, A, B. And perhaps just get used to all five of them. E, F sharp, G, A, B. Or B, A, G, F sharp, E. Okay. So my line is pretty much using these five notes. Pa, pa-ra, pa-ra-mt, pa-ba-pa-m, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, t-t-t. Okay. E, F sharp, G, B, A, G, F sharp, E. And a great way you can count this better is to figure out how much is the beat getting divided by. In this case, I would imagine if my pulse is that. Then if I sing the bass line. Pa, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem, pa-rem. So the division process, I would say, or the division system would probably be dividing the beat by two, because pa-m, pa-m. So you count one and two and three and one and two and three and four and one and two and three. So if you see the notation, which we've put out there, you'll find that it's one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four. Okay. Then I've given a gap there. One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four. That's a bit tricky. Those ends, right? The ends always give you that excitement or that energy. So, I mean, it is tricky, but at the end of the day, that's what makes people dance.  So I'll play you the line again. I'll count the subdivisions. E, two and three and four and one and two and three and four. One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four. Wait, then two and three and four and one and two. One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one and three and one. That's the line. Always advisable to sing it along as you play so that you get it into your, into your veins. So, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. After a while, you can stop counting the one and two and then just focus on the melody. So essentially the bass is playing a melody, isn't it? It's just played in the lower end. So we call it a bass line. That's the line again. And now you slowly but surely bring in the right hand. So I'm going to demonstrate all that we said the right hand should do. Semi-brieves, minims and crotchets. Those are the three exercises in the right hand. So with the bass, one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four. One and two and three and four and one. Now, in the second bar, sometimes we are tempted to kind of go to the on of the three instead of the end of the two. We may end up doing one and two and three and four and one and two and three. Makes it a bit lazier, but it's fine. If you can't get the off of the two, that's the end of the two. It's okay, go to the three. But I'm gonna try and demonstrate the end of the two. One and two and three and four and one and two and three. There we go. One and two and three and four and... Simple right hand, right? But when you change from E minor seventh to A dominant seventh, you don't wanna change like this. One and two and three and four. You saw the problem there. The right hand changed at the four and but the left hand was only supposed to do that. You don't want both the hands to follow each other and that's the point of independence. One hand, both hands try to follow each other because the signal is coming from the same brain. So you have to figure out a way to isolate the signal or what I like to think is you make one thing very pre-programmed or very robotic or very involuntary, so to speak. And let the other thing be observed consciously by your brain or what maybe some drummers would do since they have four limbs, maybe they'll try and make at least two limbs involuntary and practice it so much for hours and hours such that, well, it just happens. So you need to do that. So practice, I would say practice always, practice the tougher thing more often. So in this case, the bass is clearly the tougher thing, so practice that hard and we have a fairly simple right hand which is going on the pulse. Rather than the first case, just semi-brieves. One more time. One and two and three and four and one and two. Goes on. One and two and three and four and now, minimums. One and two and three and three. So the hit points are one and three of the bar. Let's do that again. One and two and three and four and one and two and three and four. One and two and three and four and one. There we go. Minims. And now, crotchets. The quarter notes which is next with some dynamics. Maybe now since this is now rather gonna be tricky with both hands, should perhaps see if you can sing the left hand. Pum, pa-pum, pa-pum, pa-pum, pa-pum, pa-pum, pa-pum. That's another great way to develop your independence. Sing it instead of playing it. Sing what you're trying to play or sing. If you don't get it instantly, go back to singing. So you go, pa-pum, pa-pum, pa-pum. Quarters. There we go. Same bass line. Let's break it down a bit slower. So for added sonic flavor, you can also focus on your bass or your left hand to kind of vary between some staccato hits and some legato hits. Something like long, short, short. So that's what dynamics means to me, I guess, on the piano. What you can do is just, you know, staccato, legato, short notes and long notes. And then you can just play things louder and softer. That's what we generally call as accents. That's what we're trying in the right hand, you know. So pa-pum. Loud at the end. Pa-pum. You don't have to overdo it, but I'm just giving you the idea that both hands can have the dynamic control as well added to the playing and that'll really, really test your independence. And more than that, don't think of it as an independence exercise. Just think that this is just some awesome music which is going on right now, which you have to generate as best as possible so that people can enjoy it and move to it and relate to it in the best way they can. Okay, so we've covered pretty much most of the exercise, which is to be able to play the two chords, E minor seventh and A dominant seventh with the bass line in semi-brieves with minims. And finally with crotchets or quarter notes, also what I call as pulse notes. Now, let's move on to something a little bit more challenging. So I've developed a melody line in the right hand along with this bass line or a bass melody in the left hand. So the challenge here is you're playing two melodies. There's one here and the same one we just learned here is going to continue. So let me first play you the melody in the right hand and then of course break it down. There's also the notation which you could check out if you read music. If you don't also, I think it's fine. You can just watch me and I'll break it down slowly. That's the melody. So. Now you could, let me just show you a bit in the domain of fingering. You should figure out a way to somehow get your middle finger on C sharp otherwise the whole tune is going to be a bit challenging to play. So let me break it down. It's always good to break down a melody. So the whole tune was. So let's try and break that down. So I've kind of broken it down into three parts. Let's first get that. Then. Try to land your middle finger on C sharp somehow. So maybe ring finger on D would be nice. So far so good, I hope. And now the latter part. C sharp D, E D, C sharp B, A, okay. So. You could even cross. And just to add a nice Celtic or a folk vibe, I do like. That's like a little triplet. You can do it if you want. But these are just like flares, which a lot of melodic instruments tend to do. Like, even if you sing it, you'll probably go. It's just, it just comes naturally to the voice, to the violin, to a horn, to any melodic instrument. That's why these melodic instruments are so powerful. They can bend notes. They can do anything to notes. They have vibrato. None of that we have on the piano. So the piano that way is a very, very binary instrument. You just have a note or you don't have the note. There's no two ways about it. You play the note loud and soft. That's all you can do with a note. But there's so much more variety if you add these trills and so on and so forth. So I'm doing. One more time. You can even try singing it. If you don't get the trill, no problem at all. It's still going to sound awesome. And a great way to start your journey now with independence is your left hand already used to play. Now the concern or the challenge for us is we have to get both going, right? Now to get that happening, it's not going to happen in a flash. So maybe start with the pulse in the left hand. What we did in the right hand kind of now comes to the left hand. So it's right hand doing the pulse. Now it's left hand. You could try just holding an E or just do E as a semi-brief. A. E, A. Minim. A. A. Pulse. Breakdown and melody for you once more. Now before you get the bass line, maybe you can just do some simple bass stuff, which is E, G, A, G. Sort of like a contour of the bass notes or the bass line. A. A. A. Slowly but surely you can sneak in that F-sharp. You can do that B, A. Another great way to practice is just stop there, you know? Just hold it there and just kind of refresh your mind. Now move on. Wait a little. Finish the bar. We finished about 50% I think. Now finish it off. There's just a G, F-sharp to go. This is the exercise. Once you're done with the melody, maybe you could have a nice interplay between the two concepts we learned so far in the lesson, which is pretty much the lesson. We have the chord options. Pulse for now. Move on. Maybe the melody now. Back to pulse. Some dynamics. Staccato, legato. Melody. So that's pretty much the lesson and you could use this a lot for rock music, for folk music. You saw the melody was very folk, Celtic you could say, and supported by a nice bass line. I think it's a very powerful way to play the piano. It's literally two instruments. Chank, chank, chank, chank, chank. That could be what a guitarist plays. And pom, pa-bom, pa-bom. That's what a bass player would do. So it's literally two instruments by one human on one instrument. So that's what the piano is all about. At the end of the day, it's one of the few instruments where your left hand and your right hand are not working on the same objective. On the guitar, you're holding something and you're providing energy in your other hand to get the sound out of what you held there. But on the piano, if you see a thing, you can just play it with that one finger. You don't have to rely on the other hand. So if ever we compare this instrument to something, you would compare it with a drum or a percussion instrument because those are the instruments where the hands are isolated.   Practice it with singing, very important, especially in this exercise, which is quite melodic. And also, take a step back from the piano and you can also try and do it on your body. Pomp, pomp, pomp, pomp, pomp, pomp, pomp, pomp, pomp. Sing it. You can practice independence everywhere. You don't need a piano to practice independence. So yes, so that's about the exercise. Yet another one of our independence exercises. I hope we are not boring you with so much of this stuff, but independence is a very important thing about playing the piano and it is what makes the piano fun at the end of the day. This is what you want to do. You want to have all sorts of things going on with both your hands and in all sorts of combos and in all sorts of groupings. Melody there, chords there, pulse there, bass line here or melody there, bass line there, which is what we did in this lesson to make the music really, really interesting. Right guys, thanks again for watching our lesson. This is Jason from Nathaniel School of Music. If you haven't already, please subscribe to our channel, hit the bell for notifications and all the notation you saw in the lesson can be downloaded on our Patreon page. Do head over there and also it'll help support the channel. Have a good one, cheers.


Welcome to Digital Asset News. Take a top stories and crypto current digital assets and break them down to bite-sized pieces. Today, we've got some interesting stuff about what is going on with this bull market. First up, the whole story is this data point from Glassnode. We're going to take a look at what is going on with Bitcoin accumulation and how everything is tightening up as crypto gets taken off the exchanges. Also, cyber criminals attack go-daddy-based cryptocurrency platforms, and this happened on or around November 13th. And this could be one of the reasons why Celsius had those shutdown problems with its website and app. And we'll go over all that, but first let me talk about what happened yesterday. So, I do a show every single day. Just yesterday was one of those days where I had to just take a step back and really update everything that I possibly could, and then also spend some time with the family a little bit more, because I work too much. That's really what it comes down to. One of the things that I did was I put timestamps in the Alex Moshinsky interview. If you haven't taken a check out of that, I will link that at the very end of this video. And there's a lot of questions and a lot of information that Alex put out when I asked some pretty tough questions to Alex, and he answered every single one of them. So, again, thanks for coming on, Alex. I appreciate it. So, on top of that, you know, with all the timestamps, which is great, but as time moves on, people are going to forget about this video. So, when you're doing searches, or when people are doing searches in the future, I want them to be able to find information quite quickly, because a lot of times, with all these different timestamps, the SEO portion of YouTube isn't really that great. So, I want people to actually search for a Celsius answer and just be able to find it real quick. Now, they can find it in a lot of different places. They can go right to Celsius. They can go through all the FAQ. They can go through all the AMAs that Alex does. But for me, it's all about simplicity and saving people time, because time is super precious. So, what I did was I took down all those different points or all those different clips, and I put them on Dan Clips, which is my second website. So, as time goes on, when people actually do a search in YouTube, like, how does Celsius pay out so much yield or interest? The SEO should pick up how in the world does Celsius pay out such a high yield or interest, or any combination thereof. Also, it explains things like, since Celsius also loans out the collateral from institutions, how does that affect everything, and how safe or dangerous is that? How does the Celsius token hold any value? So, everything is just pretty much parsed down to when Alex actually answered those questions. So, it's not like you have to sit by and just watch a 45 or almost an hour-long interview, which I will try to never do that again, even though it was great information, I think for a lot of people, it's too much. And I'll tell you exactly why, because this video right here, usually I'll get 10,000 to 30,000 views. This video itself didn't even make it much past 5,000. It's because when people take a look at this and go, wow, it's 48 minutes, I'm not watching that, and that's usually what happens. So, really, it's about simplicity. I know people will say, well, people are lazy and don't want to watch it. True, I get it, but if I have the ability to break it down and make it super simple for people, why wouldn't I do that? It's the same thing I did with my 100% free website, DanTeachesCrypto. You can find a link in the description. What I try to do is simplify everything, save every time, so they could get in and get out, learn what they need to know, and then be fine with everything. So that's a big thing. So the next question is people probably have been asking me, well, Rob, since you used to have 30% of your portfolio into Celsius, and then you dropped it down to 5% to 10%, after that interview with Alex, what are you doing right now with your portfolio? And the answer is I've increased it from, I went from 5% up to 10%, and now I'm at 15%, so half of what it is. And again, it doesn't matter what I do, but remember, some people, they're like, hey, I have 100% of my portfolio on Celsius. I don't think that's a great idea, but I mean, it is what it is. So if you want to do that, that's fine. For me, I like to minimize risk in whatever shape or form because there's a lot of information out there. And Alex really explained everything. I really appreciate it. However, there are unforeseen things that I just don't know. So there is different levels of learning. And sometimes you don't know what you don't know, and that is a problem. So for me, I'm just going to take a step back and just go, maybe a third of my entire portfolio on one platform isn't such a great idea. As time moves on, maybe I will increase it, or maybe I will decrease, increase or decrease. But it really doesn't matter. It's all what works out for you. And I can't speak to your situation. This is just what works out for me. So again, I trust Alex. I trust the platform. I really like the platform. I really want everybody to get into it so they can increase their interest, their yield just by putting cryptocurrency on there. And Alex explained exactly how they produce interest, how they get yield. And there's really three ways, because of the institutions, they're going to do one of three things. You're going to short market make, they're going to have arbitrage. And out of those three things, they make massive profits, and that's why they can loan out those cryptocurrency. So again, I think it's a great platform. It's just that right now, this is what I've chosen to do. As time moves on, I may change my mind, but that is what it is. All right. So that's what's happening. Let's break into what's going on in today's market. So first up today, it is Sunday, and I remember 22nd, and what have we got? So Bitcoin, before we move on, let me just show you. Bitcoin right now is at 18-2. But when I woke up, usually I'm up like 4.30 in the morning, 5.00 somewhere around there. This is what I saw. So it was around, yeah, it was around 17-7. 17,710. And I know we've been covering a lot of different stories about how there's a lot of people buying up Bitcoin, institutions, PayPal. All the PayPal users are gobbling up 70% of the new Bitcoin, and we'll get to that in a second, but I just want you to notice that people said, hey, Rob, this is different. This is a different bull market. It's just going to keep going up. You know, with the moon, you don't know what you're talking about, and da-da-da. That may be true.  No one ever is. Nobody is 100% right. And the only thing I can say is, I always look back in time, and there's always dips, there's always peaks and valleys, and this is just my experience. So when people say, like, you got to go all in.  And I say, just wait. Wait. Because when you FOMO in, you're going against your original plan. If that was your original plan. And then once you go against your original plan, you don't have discipline. And when you don't have discipline, you don't have freedom. It's the same thing that Jaco talks about, the Navy SEAL. So when I see something like this, I'm like, this is a great opportunity. If I would have went in, went all in, you know, when it was at whatever this was, 18-8. Well, now I'm down a thousand. That's a good amount of money. And now, today, when I woke up, I can go, great. Now I have that money to put in, and that's what I did. So these are the types of situations that you just have to be aware of. That there really isn't any change per se. History does repeat, and that's pretty much how it is. Now, I think this bull run will be different because it's not led by retail. It's led by institutions. And I do think we're headed to a parabolic bull run. That's for sure. 2021 is definitely our year. I've always said that. But again, Peaks and Valleys is going to be pulled back. So when those pullbacks happen, you are ready for it. And that will increase your positions. All right. So that is what's going on with Bitcoin. Ethereum 530. Also, there's a little bit of a pullback. I think it was around 550, but still 1.9. XRP, 43 cents. Watch out. Tether is Ted. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I know everybody who was on XRP was like, oh, I can't wait. I can't wait till Rob talks about XRP and he can't be all snarky and da-da-da. And like, hey, yeah, you're right. So congratulations, XRP holders. You're up 5.62% for the week. That is massive. 43 cents. So great job. And so the other question is, hey, Rob, you must be doing better with XRP. No. Because when I bought XRP, it was much, much higher. It was in the $2 ranges. Then I would buy it down around $1.80 and $1.60. And I remember telling my friends, one of those 75 cents, I'm like, guys, we've got to get in because it's never going to be below 75 cents. And I appreciate XRP because it always reminds me of how to be disciplined. Because if you, again, no discipline, no freedom, and then you run your same problems over and over again. So, but still, XRP, massive time. And people will ask me, why don't you just keep buying on the way down? It's because I wanted to buy the things. I, you know, XRP could be huge, but I feel like there was other products that I wanted to get into. And that's why I do what I did. So, Tether is $18.5 billion. So that's looking good. It looks like they have minted more Tether. Which is always weird. They've minted more Tether. They've created more Tether. They're supposed to back it up one to one with dollars. But, you know, I don't know how that audit is going. Chainlink is now one and a half percent. But still, it's hovering around $14.50. I'm thinking it's going to be $15, but it's still massive, $14 for the week. So good. Bitcoin down a little bit. But boy, what a great run, right? $82.8 percent. Bitcoin Cash, which if you don't know, I talked about this in Friday's video. I am dollar-cost averaging into Bitcoin Cash. Like I have said before, it is now on PayPal. You cannot ignore it. It is one of the big four, just like it became one of the big four or five for Coinbase. So, yeah, I'm going to be putting into it. Because I always talk about hedging my bet. And I've hedged my bet. I truly believe in Ethereum. I truly believe it's going to be great. But what if something falters? What if something happens? It's a great smart contract platform. But that is why I've also invested in the Cardano and EOS and Tezos. So with Bitcoin, I've got to hedge my bet as well. So not that I think Bitcoin's going to ever fall the next six months, but I mean Bitcoin Cash is there. So I will definitely dollar-cost averaging. Binance Coin, 0.9. Cardano up 6 percent. Also, I do believe I'm going to start, hey, Cardano mining pool. So more information coming that way. Bitcoin SV down 0.4. USD Coin. 1.2 for Stellar, OKB. Anything good? Really great. I get bored after I get past like the first 10 if you haven't noticed. Wave is up 12 percent. Congratulations to Waveowners. I don't know on that, but good for you guys. One point. Anything down massively? Anything? Ugh, 10 percent reserve. I don't know what that is. 0.75. OK. I'm not going to attempt to go down that low. So that's what's going on with the market in general. Just remember, if you have a plan stick to it, it'll make you feel a lot better. Let's move on. All right. So this is the big story, I think. So this was from Paytm Crypto, and it's just a little piece from Glass Node. Glass Node is a data analytics company, and everybody just takes a look at what is going on as far as like balance on exchanges. We can see all the way back from 2012 and, you know, anything going on in 2013. And we can just take a look at all the different exchanges, all the big ones, all the small ones. Luno, I don't know what the heck that is. OKX, Bitnex, Binance, Bitfinex, Bitstamp, Crack and Coinbase. I mean, all of them right here, right? And they're all color coordinated, very nice. But we can just see like around 2016, 2017, there was a big massive influx of Bitcoin on the exchanges. And then we saw a lot of them just get pulled off, right? Just get pulled off or sold off, whatever else.  They just want to hold it and they don't want to deal with the exchanges and their hacks and everything else, even though, you know, depending on the insurance for hot and cold wall, I'm not going to get in that. But they're going to pull it off because they're going to wait. So when people have it on, they're like, hey, we want to put this on here or they're accumulating or they're buying whatever else because they think that they're going to sell at some point. But if you can see right here, 2020 was the height. And then as time moved on, people started to realize like, hmm, I think that this is going to be a pretty big run. So we're coming down here. And now this is what people are talking about. There is a crisis, not a crisis, but there is a supply and demand. And when you don't have much Bitcoin and people want to buy Bitcoin and there's not that much Bitcoin on the exchanges, what do you think happens? Well, the price goes up. So I think what's happening here is people like, they've heard the stories that Bitcoin is going to 100, 150, 318,000, 500,000, 1 million, 3 million. And they've gotten in their heads and they're like, you know what, I'm not selling, taking it off. Also, they've also listed something like Michael Saylor from Michael's Strategy who is up massively. And he said, look, you traders, I have no respect for you. I have respect for traders, because that's a pretty ballsy position to take. And when he talks about it, he's like, look, we're not selling. Like, we're taking this all the way off and we're not going to sell. So that's it. And that's like the end of the conversation. So I think a lot of people are taking off of Bitcoin because they're like, listen, we're sick of playing this game. We know where things are going.  We know that governments are going to actually get into this and hold their treasury. We know the big corporations here. We know the institutions are here. We know it's better than gold. We're going to take it off. We're going to hold it. We're going to watch the price go to the moon. And that's what's going on. So I think when we see something like this, this is a great indicator of where we're going to be in 2021. So there is this piece. And then also, I want to talk about this last video we did on Friday. And it's PayPal users buying big. And the whole story really comes down to this chart. And what this chart is, is the it bit volume. It bit is the exchange for Paxos. Paxos is the one that is doing everything with PayPal and buying up the Bitcoin for PayPal so PayPal users can have their paper Bitcoin. Remember, on PayPal, they're not getting private keys. It's just being stored.  You just own paper kind of like Robinhood. You know, you don't get the stock certificate. You just get paper. Like you just like, well, you kind of want it, so what's going on here? It talks about how PayPal, or in this case Paxos, is buying up all the newly minted Bitcoin. That's important. Newly minted Bitcoin. They're not going to exchanges, other exchanges. They're not buying up existing Bitcoin that's just hanging around because why would they? Because that would just increase the price. And you've got players like Grayscale. They're not buying up older style. I mean, they might be in the background and maybe some OTC, just like MicroStrategy did. But they're not buying massive amounts of Bitcoin that is just hanging around in hands like yours or mine. They're buying all the newly minted Bitcoin because they don't want to raise the price because they're like, well, if we can get this down here, then we're going to be a lot better. And I think that's what's going on. I think that's what happened over here with Bitcoin dropping down to 17.7 when I bought it up because I'm like, oh, this is a great opportunity. So just be aware that when you look at the price, you're like, why isn't the price going up? I thought everybody was buying everything. I thought there was PayPal. I thought it was Square. I thought it was MicroStrategy and blah, blah, blah. You've got to realize what's going on. These institutions are really slick. This isn't their first rodeo either. So they know exactly what to do and they also have a new trick up their sleeve, which is what Michael Saylor taught him, which was to buy very slowly in microtransactions as to not increase the price massively. So that's what they're going to do. And that's just how the game is played. So you got to be patient. However, there's going to come a point where I'm sorry to say you've only got so much time. You've only got so much Bitcoin that you can start to really buy newly minted as PayPal users start to buy and buy and buy. It's only so much newly minted Bitcoin that we can get because it was 12.5 before the halving in May in 2020. Now it's at 6.25 and they're gobbling up 70%. And that's just the U.S. version of PayPal. That's not even global. Global goes live in Q1 2021. So when that happens, then you've got all the big players into the game and I think it's going to increase the price pretty massively. But for right now, they're going to play the game and they're going to keep that price a little bit suppressed so they can gobble up as much as possible before it goes to the moon. Anyhow, let me know what you think in the comment section. Let's move on. Next up, this was interesting. Cyber criminals attack GoDaddy based crypto platforms. So this was just released half an hour ago and it talks about this. Security research, Krebs on security reported that several crypto platforms hosted by GoDaddy have been attacked over the past week. So here's what happened. On or around November 13th, that's critical. On or around November 13th, crypto, there was some attacks on different crypto trading platforms, liquid.com as well as other ones. Liquid CEO Mike K. Amore said, GoDaddy incorrectly transferred control of the account and domain to a malicious actor. So let me get this straight. GoDaddy, which holds everything, transferred over to a malicious actor, all the DNS entries, all the different data points over to somebody else and just gave them the keys to the castle. That's amazing. The move allowed a malicious actor to change DNS records, internal email accounts and blah, blah, blah. So there was that one. The second victim was a mining service called NiceHash and they discovered on November 18th that some of the settings for the domain registration records were changed without auth, briefly redirecting email and web traffic for the site. That's dangerous. So what they did was they froze all the customers' accounts and they said, hey, you need to restore or change all your passwords. Also your two factor authentication for Google. So this is GoDaddy. And it made me think about the interview that me and Alex had where he talked about it. It was the very last thing, 42 minutes in. What happened with the Celsius website and App Crash and the GoDaddy DNS propagation? He told me something interesting about that one. He says, we had to shut it down because there was an issue with security. We didn't know exactly what it was, but we shut everything down to safeguard our customers and it was the 100% correct right thing to do now that we're looking at this article. So he even talked about it in the interview where they are waiting for an assessment report from GoDaddy and they may or may not be able to release that, but this looks like at least partially what it could be. I'm not for sure, but just as a point of reference, this actually happened on November 12th. This is when Alex said, hey, there's some problems with the website and it's down and blah, blah, blah, right? So what this article talks about is it happened on or around, on or around November 13th. So November 12th is within that realm of possibility and it looks like this is potentially what it could have been, which makes me trust Celsius a little bit more because they made the right decision as opposed to maybe somebody else in other situations who would just be like, nah, it's okay. Let it go because we don't want to upset the customers. Well, sometimes you got to be a little bit heavy-handed and that is what it is. So I just thought it was an interesting piece and let me know what your thoughts are in the comments. Also, before we take off, I want to talk about the Bitcoin family. If you don't know this guy, this is Diddy.  This is the family. So they reached out to me and they were talking about scams and how they don't like scams. Like, hey, I also don't like scams. So I'm going to have Diddy on the show at some point and I want to talk to him about two things. First of all, how we can collaborate and make sure that everybody knows about these scams because it's not how much you make. It is how much you keep. 2021 is going to be a very big year. I think there's going to be a lot of baby boomers in here and we need to protect them as well as everybody else. That's the first thing. The second thing I want to talk to him about is I don't preach about going all-in. And Diddy is the exact opposite of me. Him and his family went 100% all-in. So I want to talk to him about, first of all, why he did it. Second of all, why he did it at that time frame. And third of all, what we can take from it because I like opposing views. This ought to be interesting. All right, so that's it for today. I really appreciate you watching all the way to the end. Thanks for sticking with me. If you like these types of videos, there's going to be two ones going to pop up on your left and right. Let YouTube do their magic. And that is all. So enjoy your Sunday. Really thanks again for watching the whole thing. See you on the next one. Bye.


The study found that the coating on the steel rebar in coral concrete provided effective protection against corrosion. The corrosion rate remained low throughout the testing period, and the resistance factor, RP, was consistently higher than 250 k omega dot cm2. Additionally, the chloride ion diffusion coefficient, D, followed a power law relationship with the wet slash dry cycle time, and a time varying model for chloride ion concentration on the surface of coral concrete was developed. The surface chloride ion concentration increased from 0V to 0.14V over the first seven years, then decreased significantly afterwards. Finally, the cathodic zone of coral concrete members was the most active, increasing from 0V to 0.14V between 0 and 20 years, with a large increase in potential difference before the seventh year, and a significant decrease in the increase after the seventh year.
