It's no doubt that James Charles is one of the most talked about influencers lately, and it's usually because of some kind of drama. Earlier this year, it was that Tati Westbrook feuds when he was apparently cancelled, and lost about a million YouTube subscribers, which never happens. I'm sure you already know, but Tati had accused him of sexually harassing straight men or boys, but all of it was denied, with James saying, I have never and would never and will never use my fame, money or power to manipulate or get any sexual actions from a guy.  It is not me, and the fact that Tati brought this up blows my mind. Once all this drama was put to rest and the two let things go, James regained a bunch of followers back. Now he's at almost 16 million on his Instagram, and over 16 million subscribers on his YouTube channel. So we know James is a famous YouTuber, makeup artist, beauty guru, social media star, influencer and more. He's also the first male ambassador for the brand CoverGirl, but pretty sure the thing that we're hearing and seeing the most of lately is none other than his butt.  Not only was it considered inappropriate because, well, it's a nude, it made headlines because everyone's wondering if the dude's butt is fake or not. I really can't say I see males with booties like that often, if ever. Even women. James is only 20 years old at the time of this recording, but he has been speculated in the past have maybe gotten some work done too, even though he denies it. I've been doing some digging and I want to get to the bottom of this.  My butts are on fake. What's going on guys and girls? My name is Cara and this series we've titled Before and After. Today we're going to look at James, some rumored work he's had done, his look, and of course the main mystery of his butt. We've done other celebrity transformation videos, including ones on Nikita Dragon and Tati Westbrook, and we'll have links to those at the end of this video. I've also been reading all your comments and I'm going to be responding to some at the end of this. As always, if there's anyone else you want me to document, let me know in the comments down below. Now let's get into this video. Before we start discussing James butt, we're going to look at any other work people think he may have had done. He does have the total Instagram face, so I wouldn't be surprised if he enhanced things a little. And to clarify, I think the Instagram face is just how a lot of influencers look unnaturally perfect. A lot get worked in to achieve this with the small noses, big lips, and perfect cheekbones. And a lot of it can be face-tuned, filters, and good makeup. James is famous for his pro makeup skills and does plenty of influential celebrity makeup in his blogs. So it's no doubt he's great at the glow-up. Some of accused James of getting a nose job, but I don't know if that's true. He's changed a lot since he was a kid, even tweeting out, Thank God for braces, scissors, a better taste in clothing, lip filler, makeup, and a little face-tune. At least a dude seems honest. And let's be real, everyone changes after puberty. It looks like as a kid, James still had a similar nose, so I think his nose looking perfect is just his contouring as well as photo editing. It's not like he did admit to using face-tune anyways. There's even pics online showing an unedited pic of James before, and then how he looks after face-tune. Pretty crazy. Just there, you can see his nose looks natural in the original shot, and drastically changes after the edits. I think there's the answer. But then others comment on YouTube vids saying he's had more than one nose job, so I really don't know. The only thing that we have proof of James getting done to his face are lip fillers. Children's game. Really? Mm-hmm. You didn't know that long? No. What the f**k? Wait, it's scary. It's in me. I think it's supposed to contact fear. It's like that's the point. But it doesn't? Okay. Does it sound? That isn't considered plastic surgery though, and he doesn't hide it. I think his lips going from thin to plump made enough difference in his appearance to change the look of his face, so I don't really think anything else is going on there.  He looks like a mannequin. Other times, fans have things to say about his appearance just because they think he isn't being real. Like when he was doing Kylie Jenner's makeup and filming a vlog. Are you the most excited in the entire world? Huh. He could put that in. It's cool. Honestly, I never really get crazy with my eyes like this, but I really love this. You always say this is like crazy for your eyes. Yeah. What's this crazy for my eyes? What's crazy for your eyes? A lot more than that. And James and Kylie posted a selfie saying bare-faced sisters, implying well that they were bare-faced. Although maybe they didn't have makeup on, people accused that this wasn't all-natural, considering they have lip enhancements, micro-bladed eyebrows, and Kylie has lash extensions in the picture. You get the idea. Basically, printing a false picture. Oh, and James doesn't even have freckles, so he painted them on. Okay, so all of this is considered, I wouldn't say James is all-natural, but I still don't think he's gotten any major face surgeries or anything like that. Not to my knowledge, anyways. Now for the main attraction.  I think that selfie is pretty hard to unsee. James looked like he's skinny with a big butt now. This whole James Charles butt drama started when he was hacked. He decided to release what was, quote, the only nude he's ever taken.  So yes, plenty of people found the photo offensive since the dude is naked, but more importantly, it got people frantically wondering if the butt is real or fake. This isn't the first time James has shown off his booty. There was that time at Coachella with the assless chaps, and this time at a basketball game where the butt was seriously sticking out. So I've heard that James actually didn't get anything done to his butt, and some say that it's Photoshopped because it isn't even that big in person. I've never met James or seen his butt in person, so this I can't confirm, but I would have to say that's some serious Photoshop. If James got some work done, it would have to be some injections or a Brazilian butt lift, which is the most popular booty surgery that I know of. And it's a type of fat transfer to make the hips and butt area bigger. James denied having any work done once rumors started circulating after the nude, taking to Twitter saying, people are seriously asking me if my body from last night is actually real. Yes, to answer your question, it is. But there's also a video online of James allegedly showing off a new butt and some curvy looking hips. I'm pretty convincing to me until I saw comments online saying he's just wearing butt pads. I don't even know anymore. Everyone has reasons for why James hasn't gotten any work done to his butt, whether it's because of Photoshop or it's not big enough to be fake, or if he got it done, he wouldn't be able to sit down for weeks. But at the same time, when the online world is asked, more think it's fake than not. Watch, I have to be frank with you guys.  It's pretty intense. Way too voluptuous.    Everyone's like, whoa. So James Charles was trending. I was like, what's going on? And then I see this and I was like, oh boy. I think I'm left even more confused than before. Looking at that selfie James posted, I think it's impossible that it's all natural. But once the Facetune argument comes in, I'm really not so sure. James was definitely living for the attention though. He's not the first celebrity recently to release their own nudes as a means of standing up for themselves. This happened to Bella Thorne too. But is it bad for me to say I think James is just happy putting his butt selfie out there for the world to see? I definitely don't think the guy's insecure at all. He's pretty infamous for showing himself off, that's for sure. She got the audacity. Get up there and lie in the house and sit there and say, I'm very self-conscious about my body. Really?  That doesn't make no sense. If you're really self-conscious about your body, you would not post your butt on Instagram, okay? You would not be going on their topless and shirtless, whatever, the house. In general, James has changed quite a bit over the years but mostly just because he's gotten super glam and keeps getting better with makeup as he gets older and maybe with editing his pics too. I don't know about work that James has gotten done for sure. Yes, he fills his lips but I'm not sure about a nose job. Even though his butt selfie is shocking and it looks too plump to be true, he hasn't admitted to getting any works in there either. He denies it. It could be his Photoshop skills, some squat workouts or even a good angle but I personally was convinced that James has gotten some booty enhancements.  What do you guys think? Do you believe James and the fans who say it's all just editing and poses or do you think it's a fake butt? Let me know in the comments down below. Okay, guys, it's time for me to read out some of the comments from our previous videos and see what you guys are saying. This was from our before and after on Tati Westbrook. AM said she definitely has implants. Maybe not at the time she was asked but yeah. I agree with you, AM. To me, it looked like they were fake but I wasn't sure. That makes me feel like my thoughts were right. Either way, they look good. On our Catherine Pays before and after videos, Skittle Boys is in the comments as usual with positive vibes, so giving you a shout out too. On the same Catherine Pays video, Wanda said that's not even her. I'm not sure what part you're talking about but that's definitely all Catherine and in the thumbnail. She still looks pretty much the same to me in that pic. I've been loving all the positive feedback from you guys and the suggestions on who to make our next videos on too. I read them all, even the negative ones and the mean people out there we see you too. All right, guys and girls, that wraps up this video here on before and after. If you wanna talk more about James Charles transformation or those butt rumors, you can hit me up on Instagram. Let me know who else you would like me to make a before and after video on and I'll see you guys in the next video. Bye.


Hey everyone, welcome to the life. It's about 9 p.m. Yeah, I'm just sitting here at the beach on my own Just thinking about life Life can be so confusing sometimes, you know, I remember one of my moderators His name was life is a journey And I'm just sitting here like thinking about that now and it makes so much sense It's like sometimes we feel so down And we're so confused like you know wondering what are we supposed to do? Trying to make things better in our lives Always trying to do better And like an achieve and obtain new things, but then it's like We're never satisfied we always want more or something goes wrong and then suddenly Everything that went right up until that point No longer matters anymore, and that's why I think it's important to remember That life really is a journey And it's okay if you don't have it all figured out right now It's okay if you don't have everything you want It's okay if things aren't going your way right now Life is a journey It's not about the destination Because as we all probably know Even when you get what you want after a few days or a few weeks if you're lucky it's no longer as Satisfying as it was when you first had it you always want more Or you always want something else Because like I said, it's not about the destination It's not about Having everything you want. It's not about everything being perfect Our happiness is linked to our progress Thanks for the donation vintage Femme So every day I think we should Work on our progress work on our healing Don't compare yourself to other people You might look at other people and it might look like They have it all It might look like they have everything that you want But you don't know what they're going through For all you know, they could be miserable They might put on a happy face when they're outside or when they see you But deep down they could be really struggling And you'll never even know about it. And I think that's the same for a lot of people today Everyone wants to act like they're so happy and the life is going great No one wants to come out and just say Okay, maybe I am struggling Maybe life is really confusing Maybe I don't know what I want. Maybe I don't know where I'm going No one really wants to come out and just say that But there we go, you know, I'd like to be the first one to say that Because life is confusing for me And I don't really know where I'm going I don't really know where I am now And I think many times like people watch my videos And I think that I've got it all figured out I don't know all the answers I do believe that most of what I'm saying in my videos is true Whenever I watch my old videos back I'm really amazed at how much I knew back then And even today I still agree with everything I've said There's very few things that I've said in my videos that I don't agree with But I think it is very important that we don't let our egos take control of us And it's okay sometimes to just say Maybe I don't know everything Maybe I don't know where things are going I think sometimes we can be afraid to say that It's okay to be vulnerable sometimes That's what helps us to learn and grow And that's what helps people to learn more about you Not everyone is going to take advantage of you When they see your vulnerabilities For many people that's the only way that they're ever really going to get to know you There's really no intimacy without vulnerability Thanks for the donation again vintage fem Yeah, so that's what this is about I was just thinking about that now, you know Life is a journey. It really is It's not a destination I mean, when you think about it Our destination Is death Look at the end of it. That's That's what it is You know, I'm not trying to To make anyone feel depressed. Yeah, I'm just Just trying to speak some truth I'm not saying that means we have to just lay down and die or anything, but We just have to Make the most of what we what we got in life Things may not be perfect We're all gonna have problems sometimes But even for our problems, I think we should still smile and laugh And be there for other people Support them when they're down because as I said earlier It might look like someone's doing great But you really don't know what they're struggling with So I hope that this will inspire people To Support each other Like that's what the channel is all about. That's why I make these videos It's to inspire you To give you the awareness Of what's going on I just wanted to put that message out there And if you can relate Please Share your thoughts in the comments I do read every single comment I receive Every morning I sit down for like an hour And I go through like A good few hundred comments Every single day So share your thoughts in the comments I'd love to hear what you think Of this message I'm sharing with you today Thank you all for joining This life I'm very happy to have you here with me tonight And I Look forward to Talking with you guys again very soon


In the consumer behavior today we are going to study the consumer choices and in consumer choices we were already studying that what are the various properties of the expenditure function. This topic is pertaining to the expenditure function having the property that it is increasing when utility is increasing. As we have already studied various parts of our previous lecture that whenever the consumer wants to increase its utility or want to have more there are only two aspects that either he can have more budget or either he has to substitute certain commodities with one another but within the same budget line. But here if total utility has to be increased this is only and only possible that the consumer is having higher budget level or in other way we can say that a minimal budget is compulsory to have achievement of a particular level of the utility. When we were utilizing the Lagrange multiplier then we derived the lambda and that lambda told us that lambda is equal to change in utility with the change in the price or it was just equal to the other way we can say that it was the marginal utility with reference to the income. But if we inverse that lambda then we come to know that that is just having one relationship in which the change in income with respect to the change in utility is there and that is called the marginal cost of the income. It means how much income will be changed just to have our desired change in the utility. When consumer wants to have increased utility then there should be a positive increase in its income at the same time to at least equate that change in the utility. So this property of the expenditure function is mostly fulfilled even through the indirect utility function or either we are utilizing the utility function in both ways. Then if we have to utilize the utility maximization equation we have to exert that rule that the utility will be maximized keeping in view certain subjective budget function. And if we utilize the cost minimization even then we have to maximize the utility and in that way when we utilize the cost minimization we will utilize that the cost is minimized keeping in view a particular level of the utility. So in both ways we can have that for the higher level of the indifference curve a consumer requires more budget to achieve that higher level of the indifference curve or the higher utility level. Mostly the assumptions underlying the ordinal utility function theory it allows that the sign of the U that shows the marginal cost of the money that it shows that we cannot say that this mu is necessarily increasing or it is decreasing because both are possible for the different permissible utility functions that might be consumer want to decrease the utility or might be consumer want to increase the utility keeping in view the certain conditions. So the expenditure function will be increasing in the prices as well as we have already studied this and at the same time it will be increasing in the form of the utility. So if we has to increase our target utility or the consumer want to increase its utility then the constraint becomes harder to satisfy and therefore the cost of attaining that target has to be more and more. And at the same time minimum expenditure it requires to reach at the given indifference curve for that given prices and that given prices are utilized as a set risk peribus and is unaffected by any number. So when we multiply all these by the same number then the respective ratio will be given at the same level. This implies that a particular relationship between expenditure that is from the income M and the utility it remains the same but the properties we set out above they hold that for all the utility functions but only general restrictions we can place on the relation between M and U when there can be certain price factor is that it is mostly monotonically increasing in the way that if income will be increasing then we can expect the higher utility level and likewise if higher utility has to be increased higher income is desired at the same time. Thank you.


Hi, I'm Sam. I'm a PhD student working with the NZAVS and I'm talking about some research that I did earlier this year with Chris Sibley and some researchers from the University of Kent. So we were looking at the relationship between narcissism and self-esteem. So these are two quite related concepts. If we think about someone who is a narcissist and someone who has high self-esteem they're both going to have a really positive view of themselves. They're both going to be quite sociable and outgoing and they'll both be good leaders. However, the self-esteem is a really realistic view of yourself, whereas narcissism is unrealistic and it's quite over the top. So because it's so over the top it needs more support. So narcissistic people tend to feel superior to others, perhaps put them down and they need a lot of praise to keep that unrealistic self-view going. So probably a lot of us know someone who we could describe as a narcissist but what we don't necessarily know is whether or not people act like that, act really superior because they genuinely really really like themselves that much or is it because they're trying to cover up some kind of deep insecurity. So we're using a new technique in this area called latent profile analysis. So some research suggests that there can be narcissists who do have high self-esteem and at the same time there could be narcissists who have low self-esteem. So using this technique we can explore all the different groups and find all the different combinations of people with a high self-esteem, low narcissism and so on. So we found five different groups. The most interesting group was about 9% of the sample and these people had really high levels of psychological entitlement which was our measure of narcissism and they also had high levels of self-esteem and interestingly we didn't find a group of narcissists with low self-esteem. So while some previous research suggests that they should both be there, we found that all narcissists really do like themselves. We analyzed data from the NZABS. We used the time one sample from 2009 and we had over 6,000 participants. We also found a group in the sample who had high self-esteem but no narcissism and this was the largest group in the sample. So this shows that the majority of the people in our sample, about 40%, had a really healthy positive view of themselves but weren't likely to treat other people poorly. And we also found a group that had very low self-esteem and very low entitlement. Only about 2% of the population but this indicated that they had a really negative view of themselves and this could be a group that is at risk of mental illness or psychological distress. So quite an important group. So the NZABS sample is really representative of the population. So when we say 9% of people are narcissists or 40% of people have really healthy well-being, we can say the same thing about the New Zealand population as a whole. So in New Zealand about 1 in 10 of people could be called the narcissist. This research answers a really fundamental question about the relationship between self-esteem and narcissism using a new technique that hasn't been used before in the international research. There's been a lot of talk about narcissism and entitlement recently, especially with the advent of social media, the generation me or millennials growing up. And what we can see is in New Zealand less than 1 in 10 of people show any signs of entitlement at all. So while it could be increasing over time, at this point we're not really concerned about narcissism levels in New Zealand. So the next really big question is, is narcissism getting worse over time? And we're really excited to use the next ways of the NZABS to track this across the years. A big thank you to all our participants who take part in the NZABS because it lets us answer these really important questions. And so what we're looking for in our future research is to see whether that 9% of narcissists is increasing across the different waves of the NZABS.


Let us look at the effect of gusts on the VN diagram. What is meant by a gust? A gust is a vertical draft of air and it depends whether they are vertically upwards or vertically downwards. And because they are acting either vertically up or down when they add to the free stream velocity of the aircraft, they give an effective angle of attack and thus impose an additional vertical load on the aircraft. So, you can see that if there is an aircraft flying at a velocity v and a vertical gust of u acts on it, then effectively it will create a small increase in the angle of attack delta alpha. And because of that the relative wind direction is changed by delta alpha. So, there will be additional load factor delta nz which will function of the speed, density, gust velocity. So, the gust velocity u in the previous slide is replaced by vg in this particular slide. So, if the aircraft was in level flight, the load factor was 1. So, this delta nz will act as above the 1 and hence the graph for the load factor due to vertical gust will always start from 0, 1 because it would correspond to level flight at vertical load factor equal to 1. Now, certain values of gust velocities have to be considered based on the historical information available with the airworthiness agencies. And these values depend upon the altitude at which you are flying. For example, if we look at the FAR 23 standard for gust velocities, we see that for altitude up to around 20,000 feet, the value of gust velocity acting on the design diving speed is expected to be 25 feet per second, but above 20,000 feet at higher altitudes the weather disturbances are less. So, the gust velocity to be considered is linearly reduced and at the height of 50,000 feet or above it is assumed that there will be no gust velocities acting at all, there will be no gust present. But when you are flying the aircraft at the cruising speed we see you are expected to encounter a larger value of gust velocity the double of the previous values where it was 25 earlier at up to 20,000 feet it is supposed to be 50 feet per second and again there is a linear reduction to 25 feet per second 25 feet per second when you reach a height of 50,000 feet. Now, in this particular discussion we are assuming that the gust velocity is sharp that means the gust velocity suddenly reaches the value of 25 feet per second from 0. But that is not true actually the gusts are actually going to increase very slowly. So, to take care of that the airworthiness regulations normally describe or prescribe a distribution that has to be considered for the gusts. So, for example, it there is a formula for a cosine distribution. So, for for velocities cruise velocity between 0 to 20,000 feet this particular formula is to be used to look at the variation of the gust speed. So, there is something called as a gust elevation factor that gust elevation factor k takes care of the fact that the gusts are not are usually not sharp and they will be increasing slowly from 0 value to the value. So, the factor k is multiplied by the gust velocity to achieve the effective sharp gust velocity and there is a separate formula for subsonic flight and a different formula for supersonic flight. So, let us see what happens to the VN diagram. This is the restriction with the gust loading notice that they are starting from the 0.1 comma 0 because the aircraft is supposed to be in level flight and in level flight at various velocities you know due to gust additional load factors are created. We also remember that at speeds beyond Vc the numerical value of the gust velocity is lower. So, therefore, you can see that the load factors introduced also are lower. So, basically what it means is that if the aircraft is in level flight at any point along this line at various speeds in level flight then the lines indicate both what kind of additional load factor will be created. It can be observed that the highest value of the delta nz happens at Vc and there is a symmetricity here the same kind of velocity is expected to be acting also in a vertical downward gust. So, at design diving speed the numerical value of the gusts velocity is lower and hence the lines are inside the lines because of the gust due to the gusts acting at the cruise speed. So, this is the limit gust line. Now what you do is this is the limit manoeuvre envelope which was obtained earlier by specifying the limits on the upper and the lower maximum values the design diving speed this is the upper and the lower value. This is the cut provided as I mentioned and this corresponds to the CL max both positive and negative. So, what you are getting here is basically the limit envelope in which the aircraft can be manoeuvre. On this particular graph we have to superimpose the loading that can be created because of the additional load factor due to the gusts. So, when you superimpose we notice that there are certain areas which are beyond the limit manoeuvre envelope. So, in other words now this area anyway you cannot fly because this area falls below the stall. So, if you now look at the combined envelope it will actually be something like this it will follow the outer contour of the VN diagram and you will get the limit combined envelope. Thanks for your attention.


Occasionally, positive things happen in the field of cancer prevention signs to popular, good-tasting foods. Yes, broccoli family vegetables are wonderful, but maybe a hard food for the public to swallow. By contrast, who doesn't like tomatoes? But studies using high-dose supplements of lycopene, the antioxidant red pigment in tomatoes, thought to be the active anti-cancer ingredient, failed over and over again to prevent or treat cancer, and may even end up promoting it since at the high levels one can get with supplements, lycopene may actually act as a pro-oxidant. But lycopene doesn't appear to be effective at lower doses either. There's a strong protective correlation between the intake of actual whole fruit and vegetables and the incidence of certain cancers. But when we supplement with only a single compound isolated in pill form, we may upset the healthy natural balance of antioxidants. It does seem to be quite the human hubris to think we could reproduce the beneficial effects of consuming entire fruits and vegetables by giving supplements of a single phytochemical, which would normally interact with thousands of other compounds in the natural matrix mother nature intended. In addition to lycopene, other carotenoids in tomatoes include beta-carotene, gamma-carotene, zeta-carotene, phytofluene, and phytoene, all of which aren't known to accumulate in human prostate tissue. And there are also numerous non-carotenoid compounds in tomatoes that may have anti-cancer activity. Not to mention all the compounds we have yet to even characterize. But it's not about finding the one magic bullet. The anti-cancer effects of carotenoids and other phytonutrients may reside in their combined activity. For example, at low concentrations of the tomato-compene's phytoene, phytofluene, and lycopene found in most people who eat normal amounts of tomatoes, there's very little effect on cancer cell growth in vitro used separately, but combine them all together. And the non-effective dose, plus a non-effective dose, becomes effective somehow, significantly suppressing prostate cancer cell growth. And the same synergy can be seen across foods. Curcumin, the yellow pigment in turmeric, and curry powder, phyto-extracts in the vitamin E found in nuts and seeds do little to inhibit pro-growth signaling of prostate cancer cells, less than 10%, but all three together suppresses growth signaling like 70%. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. So how about instead of giving cancer patients lycopene pills, we give them some tomato sauce. 32 patients with localized prostate cancer were given 3 quarters of a cup of canned tomato sauce every day for three weeks before their scheduled radical prostatectomy. In their bloodstream, PSA levels dropped by 17.5%. PSA, prostate-specific antigen, is a protein produced by prostate gland cells and elevated blood levels are routinely used to monitor the success of cancer treatment. It was surprising to find that in just three weeks a tomato sauce-based dietary intervention could decrease PSA concentrations in men with prostate cancer.  Imagine how antioxidant-poor their diet must have been beforehand if less than a cup of tomato sauce a day could reduce DNA damage by more than a fifth. OK, but what did they find in their prostates? Human prostate tissue is thought to be particularly vulnerable to oxidative DNA damage by free radicals, which are thought to play a critical role in all stages of cancer formation. This may be for a number of reasons, including fewer DNA repair enzymes. Well, the researchers had tissue samples taken before the tomato sauce from biopsies and tissue samples after the three weeks of tomato sauce from the surgery. And resected tissues from tomato sauce-supplemented patients had 28% less free radical damage than expected. Here's the DNA damage in the prostate before the tomato sauce and here's after. Just 20 days of sauce. And what's interesting is that there was no association between the level of lycopene in the prostate and the protective effects. Tomatoes contain a whole bunch of things, some of which may even be more powerful than lycopene. Regardless, in contrast to the lycopene supplements alone, the whole food intervention seemed to help. To see if lycopene played any role at all, one would have to test a lycopene-free tomato. In other words, a yellow tomato. So what if you compared red tomatoes to yellow tomatoes, which have all the non-lycopene tomato compounds to straight lycopene in a pill?  Compared to those not eating anything, the red tomato serum, the blood from those who ate red tomato paste, significantly decreased the prostate cancer cells' expression of a growth-promoting gene called Cycline D1. This down-regulation of the gene by the red tomato consumption may contribute to lower prostate cancer risk by limiting cell proliferation. The red tomato seemed to work better than the yellow, so maybe the lycopene helped, but not in pill form. This gene was not regulated by the lycopene pill serum, indicating that maybe it's something else, and lycopene alone significantly upregulated pro-carcinogenic genes. Therefore, it can be stated that tomato consumption may be preferable. So what's the best way? A spouse wrote in to the editor of the Harvard Men's Health Watch, saying his or her husband wants to have pizza for his prostate, to which the doctor replied, fine, but how about a cheese-free pizza with broccoli instead of pepperoni? Or he can just drink some tomato juice.


Hi it's great to be here. So I think institutions have had so much on their plate and now with COVID it's like orders of magnitude and as I look at the biggest challenges it may just be that it's around managing through uncertainty because I know many colleges and universities are just trying to meet the expectation of all their stakeholders whether it's faculty and administration or students or alumni and I think right now it's hard because with the financial stress we've got to figure out how to do more with less and new things too. Anything as technology leaders we have a responsibility number one to make sure every investment that higher education has already made gets more value they create more from that and make sure that it's effective. Second I think there's a huge opportunity for us to make data real to look at the data insights around student success and really expand that to student well-being and as we build new capabilities as technologists we need to make sure that they're open and interoperable. We need to make sure that all students have access. We increase the opportunity to be more inclusive and for more students to be able to afford an education and I think that's why things like open standards are so important right now and just for all of us to be more agile. So my hope is that with edgy cars we build this community and that we share the best practices to meet the challenges of 2020 and beyond and I hope we can do that together. Well actually probably the most important thing that we did during this time was to call every customer and listen to understand what they needed and sometimes it was a matter of securing laptops or even getting VPN access but then it turned out it was the financial stress so we've worked with customers on affordability. We've spent time advising on the CARES Act and for many institutions some of those dollars to the institution or students were invaluable and just helped take off some of that stress. As students went online it was more and more important for us to work on the technologies around online learning and make sure that we helped with those powerful integrations with their LMS for which we support all of those. Advising on the CARES Act was really important and we saw institutions like Bryant University who's already moved to the cloud that use that time with their IT resources to do some innovative things like building an attestation app and also building a CARES Act so they could bundle financial aid for many of their students so that time was just invaluable and then finally we were most proud of having Ellucian live online as well and sharing best practices across the community. We had nearly 20,000 registrants and we're continuing to build that community to talk about how we can all support each other during this very difficult time and more to come.


Today we conducted an attack to seize an objective. It was a multi-phase operation Enrolled the entire infantry company as well as attachments with Ford observers and engineers and they incorporated with the Australian military as well. I think our role in Talzin Saber has shown that we conduct joint operations not you know just within U.S. forces, but also multi-nationally. I think it's outstanding opportunity for my men in my unit. Guys are getting to experience a lot of things that they've never got to experience before. How we can come together to create a mission set and then accomplish a mission in a cohesive way. Honestly, I've been in the Army for over 18 years and this is probably the most beneficial training opportunity that I've been fortunate enough to take part of.


Suspense is next over WROW Music, row 59 on your Albany Dial, 635. And now, a tale well calculated to keep you in. In a moment, act one of Brother John, starring William Redfield, and written especially for suspense by Elspeth Eric. It was so simple, it was ridiculous.  Stroke, they call it, for short. You think that only happens to old people? Both of us in that room were under 30. You see, you get a stroke on the left side of your brain. It paralyzes the right side of your body. And it makes you so you can't talk.  So I just laid there and listened to Brother John talking to the army doctor. He's your brother? Yes, he has 20 years younger. I've taken care of him since he was a kid. Well, we'll hope for a spontaneous recovery. What's that? The damage to the brain clears up by itself. Speech returns and the paralysis disappears. Well, what do I do now? Well, can you remember what books he read as a child? Little poems or songs. Hey, diddle-diddle, Humpty-Dumpty. How often these things come back first? Charlie was born in France. Our parents both died there when Charlie was 10. By that time, I was OK-shaped financially and they sent him back to me. But he only spoke French. I remember he used to sing that Frère Jacques thing. Yes, singing often helps. The rhythm carries them along. I hardly know any French. Well, now you do your best. This may all clear up sooner than you think. The man on the other side of the screen has the same trouble. He seems to be coming along. Well, thank you, Doctor. Anything else you want to know, ask for me at the desk. Thanks. Hey there, Chum. You look fine. Now listen, I'm going to tell you what we're going to do. You know the apartment I have over the garage at the Tremains? Are you going to come there? Well, it's big enough. Wait till you see it. It's great. Yeah. What's the matter? You think they'll mind? They won't mind. They're very nice people. And of course, they're really not in any position to mind anything. Are they, huh? No. Though when I took that prison rapper Jerry Tremain, he promised he'd look after me for the rest of my life. And somebody asked you what does your brother do? You can say he's butler for the Gerald Tremains. It's not much. I grant you that. But it's better than saying he's a bum, right? Yeah, he's doing very well, incidentally, old Jerry. All strictly on the up and up, ever since that one little mistake that I did time for. But I'm a nice fella. I've stuck to our original agreement 200 a week for life. And of course, I get my board in room. So most of it, I've got put away for you. And if you ever need a little extra, well, truth is Mrs. Tremain is what you might say crazy about me. I could always put the bite on her for a little extra if you needed it.  Want me to open it now, huh? Oh, okay, later. With your buddy here, huh? Doctor says you both got this cerebral thing. Okay, if I introduce myself. Uh, my name's McGee. Yeah, I'm Charlie's brother, John. I brought some champagne. You and Charlie can have it together, okay?  Well, uh, good luck. Enjoy the champagne. Hey, looks like a nice fella. You want to say something, Charlie?  Go ahead. I had to laugh. Big brother John standing there trying to sing in French. Well, all right, so he didn't know French. But he had brains. He does a little stretch in prison for a guy, then when he gets out, he moves in with the guy. Gets 200 a week, and takes over the wife, besides. Now, anyway, a few days later, I had a spontaneous recovery. Blimey. And I'm very curious to find out what they're like. So, Mrs. Tremaine comes to the door. Not a bad-looking woman for her age. She lets me in and introduces me to her husband. This is Charlie's brother. He's my brother. He's my brother. He's my brother. He's my brother. He's my brother. He's my brother. He's my brother. He introduces me to her husband. This is my husband, Mr. Tremaine. Gerald, this is John's brother, Charlie. Charlie? Good lord. Uh, sit down now. Sit down, Charlie. Well, I should have called John, I guess, but I wanted to surprise him. Gerald, you tell him. I just can't. Charlie, we were just going to call you at the hospital. Huh? Well, your brother... Your brother has been shot, Charlie, killed. John? John was shot? It just happened about an hour ago. Well, who want to do a thing like that? We don't know who did it. The police don't know. Gerald, you ought to let them know that Charlie's here. All right, I will. I'll be right with you. I... Oh, he... He was such a wonderful brother to me. I know. He talked a lot about you. I mean, he... He did everything for me. You were planning to stay here with him, weren't you? He said so. Yeah, yeah, till I get a job or something. Now, I don't know what to do. Well, why don't you just stay on here anyway, for the time being? Oh, I don't know if I could... John's apartment's over the garage, you know. Why don't you just move in? Well, I... Gee, Mrs. Tremaine, I... I kind of like that. I'd like to poke around there, sort of, and see if I can't figure out who could have wanted to kill my brother John. It was so simple. It was ridiculous. I could move right in, and I did. Ah, they were nice, really. She was what you'd call faded, I guess, but not too faded. I could see how John could have gone for her a little bit. Next morning, I asked if I could help her with breakfast. You know, John told me a lot about you, Mrs. Tremaine. He did? Yeah. You liked you a lot. Well, that's very nice to hear. I can see why. You're very attractive. Well, now... I mean, John certainly thought you were. And so do I. That's a nice compliment from a young man. And you're not much older than I am. Well, I'm certainly not younger. Lots of men, my age. Go for older women. I really wouldn't know about that. Oh, come on now, Mrs. Tremaine. You must have had lots of guys going for you. Really, Charlie? I don't think this is a way for us to talk. I knew I had her. When they say they shouldn't talk this way, they're starting to weaken. They talk that way all the time. They're saying they shouldn't. And pretty soon, they're ready for action. Anyway, I could see she was getting uncomfortable. And that was exactly what I wanted. Her husband came downstairs, right, Ben? And I took him some coffee in the living room. John was with us a long time, you know, Charlie? Yeah, yeah, I know. Terrible shock. You, uh, talked to the police? Mm-hmm. Last night, they, uh... Well, they need time, I guess. Oh, sure, sure. Uh, look, Charlie, you stay on here just as long as you like. No, no, Mr. Tremaine. I'll be moving on pretty soon, I guess. I mean, John said he, uh, had some money saved up for me. Oh? Yeah, quite a lot. Good. I don't know how he did it. Almost $40,000. That much, huh? Yeah. Well, he must have made good investments. No, no, he just had savings. Yeah. In four different banks. Oh, is that so? Yeah. Every week, he made a deposit. A big one. You don't say. Mm-hmm. Ever since the first week, he came to work for you. Well, no. What do you know about that? A little more uncomfortable. Ah, but they were nice people, really. I could almost have gotten to like them. Yeah. Anyway, I helped Mrs. Tremaine put the breakfast on the table. They even asked me to eat with him, and I said no, I was going out. Only I didn't go out. I stayed in the kitchen because I wanted to hear what they had to say to each other. Colleen, how long has she got to stay? Charlie? Yeah, Charlie. I don't know. Nice fellow. Very nice. Uh, not like John, though. No, not really. Mm-hmm. Doesn't even look like him. He's a lot younger, of course. Yes. I'll miss John. Uh, we'll get somebody else. Not like John, though. No, not like John. I was sorry I wasn't like John. I really was. I'd have liked to stay on with these people for a while. I was even a pretty good butler, if you can imagine that. I helped Mrs. Tremaine get lunch. I'm terribly awkward in the kitchen, I'm afraid. Oh, well, let me do that. John always did everything. Uh-huh. He was a good man. Yes, he was. Yeah, you know, I'm sorry. I didn't get to see more of him. Well, we used to ask him to have you here for a visit, but he never would. I know, I know. I wonder why he wouldn't. I wonder if it was a woman. Oh, no, it wasn't a woman. I'd have known if the... Oh. You would? Well, I mean, if that was why he wouldn't have you here, I'd have known if he was seeing some woman here. No, I meant if it was some woman who killed him. Seen her face. All of a sudden, she looked like somebody had hit her. That Mr. Tremaine came home for lunch. I made him a drink first in the living room. You joined me, Charlie? Oh, well, thank you, Mr. Tremaine. I, uh, was usually indulged in the middle of the day. Of course not. $38,000. How's that? Well, that's what my brother had in four different banks. Oh, well, that makes you a rich man, doesn't it? Well, not quite. I, uh, I just can't help wondering. That's all. Wondering what, Charlie? Oh, where he got all that money, who gave it to him all those years. Well, I wouldn't know if anybody gave it to him. Well, you see, if somebody was paying him, that could be the man who killed him. So he could stop paying it. Oh, I, uh, I see what you mean. Came in right then and told him lunch was ready, and they both went into the dining room looking absolutely sick. As a parting shot, I said that I was going down to the police station. I thought that should start a little something, you know?  But I sat down to listen. That's the third time he's talked to the police. That's natural, isn't it? Yes, I guess so. I must say he doesn't seem to be mourning for his brother very much. No, they were supposed to be, uh, very close, weren't they? I guess men just don't show their feelings, in fact. I'm sure they don't. Meaning me? They don't avoid each other. Some men don't even show their feelings toward their wives. Me again? If you have any feelings toward your wife. Oh, Connie, don't start that again. All right. I'm sorry. That Charlie is making us both nervous. I'm not nervous. Are you nervous? No, not nervous, exactly. Yes, you are. Well, why, why don't we get rid of him? Get rid of who? That Charlie. But we just asked him to stay. You asked him of me. Well, if you want him to leave. I didn't say I want him. Yeah, and so. I didn't ask him to money until, until John's estate is settled. That'd be nice. Oh, so tell him. Me. You tell him. Well, why should I tell him? You tell him. Why me? And so it went. You tell him. No, you tell him. I wanted to walk out of the kitchen very quietly, and I did go down to the police station. They didn't know anything. They hadn't found the gun, and they couldn't figure out who'd had a motive. So, about 5.30, I went back to the house. Mrs. Tremaine was setting the table for dinner. Did you see the police, Charlie? Yeah, yeah. I was, uh, I was there all afternoon. Really? All afternoon? Mm-hmm. They wanted me to tell them everything I knew about John. Really? Yeah. I didn't know a lot. He never said too much about himself. No. No, he was sort of a quiet man. A few things, I told him. Oh, like what? Well, like I gathered he was very happy here. I mean, you took good care of him. I gathered that. Well, we tried. He was really happy here. Yeah, he really was happy. He used to say he never wanted to leave here. Did he? Yeah. I guess he had about everything he wanted, right here in this house. Everything? I mean, jobs like that are sure hard to find that have everything. I suppose they are. Dan started to shake, and pretty soon, she gave up trying to set the table and went out to the living room to join Mr. Tremaine. I told her that I was going to go up and wash up for dinner. And instead, I went out in the hall. She closed the door to the living room. She's standing on the other side. I could hear everything that went on. Gerald, I must tell you something. What, dear? Gerald, we've got to get rid of that man. I told you that at lunch. He knows something. What do you mean something? Gerald, I never meant to tell you this. It isn't anything much, really, only now. It might make the police think I killed John. You? Oh, I'm so ashamed of myself.  Connie, Connie, what are you talking about? That's the way I thought of myself, Gerald. It was all self-wedding. I was alone all day, and John was here. Connie, I... That's the way it was. You and John? It looks hard to believe. Gerald, I'm not trying to excuse myself. I'm not. It's just that now, John's dead, isn't that awful? Charlie thinks some woman killed him, and I think he thinks crime is a woman. No, he doesn't. He's been inning around. He thinks some man did it. Some man who was paying John a lot of money, extortion money. Who? You? Yes. He doesn't come right out and say it, but he knows someone's been paying the money, and I think he suspects me. And he's right. What do you mean? I paid John for 15 years ever since he got out of jail. We were both guilty, but he took the rap. Guilty of what? Bezzlement. Bezzlement. We took $70,000 from the firm before we got caught. As I said, I went free and John went up the river. I paid him $200 a week, 52 weeks a year. He'd saved up almost $40,000 when he was killed. But you didn't kill him. Is that a question? I know you didn't do it. You know I didn't? Of course. You think I didn't? No, no, of course not. You don't think maybe he got tired of me or I got jealous or hysterical or something, and shot him? No, of course I don't. I did get jealous sometimes, and hysterical. But you didn't kill him. No, I didn't. Neither did I. I know. Well, that wasn't the way I thought it would go, frankly. In the first place, I never thought they'd spill everything to each other, and in the second place, I thought if they did spill everything, they'd each jump at the chance to pin it on the other. Yeah. They must have loved each other or something. Oh, something like that. Anyway, I decided to walk in and settle the whole thing right then and there. Mr. Tremaine. Oh, yes, Charlie. Mr. Tremaine, the fact is, I need $50,000 from you right now. What is this, Charlie? Well, it's extortion money, Mr. Tremaine. You know what that is. It's just a word, like embezzlement. I see. Gerald, he knows. He actually... That's right, that's right. I actually know, Mrs. Tremaine. I didn't know exactly before that it was embezzlement, you see. But Brother John told me he'd done time for your husband, and that was why he had this cushy job. I didn't know why he bothered to work at all. I know I wouldn't have. Oh, I guess you wouldn't have. Well, now wait a minute. Well, I take that back. I know a reason why he worked here. Don't you, Mrs. Tremaine? Yeah. You were fooling around a little, weren't you? With Brother John? Look, my wife and I have no secrets, so this is not a shock to either one of us. I told the police it might be a shock to them. Have you? Well, now, of course you haven't. My wife didn't kill your brother, neither did I. Maybe yes, maybe no. How do we know you didn't kill him?  For the money and the four savings banks? I was gonna get that anyway. Brother John told me so in the hospital. He even said he could put the touch on your wife for a little extra if I needed it. You can't prove that. Well, I think I could if I had to. There's a guy up at the hospital. He had the bed next to mine. He was there when John came to see me. He knows all about this? Well, he might. Neither one of us could talk at the time. Maybe he can't even now. I don't know. But he was still there when I got out. What's his name? Now, why would I tell you that? I can find out. Well, what's the difference, Mr. Tremaine? Suppose he says the whole story is true, that he heard John tell it to me. It'll all come out anyway, newspapers and everything. And then what will the police think about you? Oh, come on. I mean, let's be sensible. You raise the 50,000 and I'll clear out. How am I supposed to raise 50,000? Come out of your house, your car. You must have insurance. You two stay there. I'll answer that phone. What do you think, Constance? Don't give it to him. It's just money. Don't give it to him. You sure? It's wrong. What I did was wrong. Let's not keep on doing what's wrong. Well, it's a wrong number or something.  Singing telegram? I couldn't make it out. Well, how about it? Charlie, we don't think we can give you 50,000 dollars. We don't think we can afford it. Then you afford being smeared all over the newspapers? We can't afford to go on living this way, lying to each other. One of you may not go on living at all. Let me answer it this time. Leave the phone off the hook. Charlie, neither one of us killed John. Tell that to the police. I'm going to. I've talked to my wife and she agrees. Gerald, come here. You too, Charlie. Look, I don't think you've thought this over. Oh, yes, we have. We don't want to think about it anymore. I was listening. What is this? Listen. I'll hold the phone up. Listen, Charlie. Frère Jacques. Frère Jacques. Don't leave me. Don't leave me. Frère Jacques. Frère Jacques. Don't leave me. Don't leave me. Well, that's the story. It was the real Charlie on the phone, the guy in the other bed. See, he hadn't had a spontaneous recovery like mine. But he'd gotten back enough to get to a phone in the hospital, dial the number, and then sing this French song into the phone. Brother John, brother John, are you sleeping or are you sleeping? That's what it says. It's just my lousy luck. I never learned French. Or I'd have known it was the real Charlie the first time he called. Oh, I, uh, I guess you want the gun I killed John with, huh? Right here. I've had it in my pocket the whole time. Oh, and thanks for offering me a lawyer. But frankly, I don't think any lawyer in the world could get me off. Do you? Well, do you? Suspense.
