Today, we're going to talk about the diseases and insects that are on the 4-H Alabama State Forestry List. I'm Scott Ennebeck, Professor of Forest Pathology at School of Forestry at Auburn University, and we're going to do them group-wise. And the first group we have here is FOMIS anosis. FOMIS anosis is a root decay organism found throughout the southern United States, and these are its fruiting bodies that you find. Typically you'll find them at the base of a tree, along the stumps, along the roots. They're a very messy fungus or fruiting body, and what I mean by that is they always seem to have the leaves and the litter layer associated with it. The other thing that's interesting with this particular one, the top will be brown, or brown, but they have a white margin, brown with a white margin. All of these are brown with a white margin, they have a litter layer. If you turn it over, it'll be white. You have a white layer, if you look really closely with the hand limbs, you'll see it has pores. Here's another one. The top, it's got a brown top, white margin, it's got the pores, and it's kind of what I would say gnarly or maybe looks like an ear. All of these, you turn them over at the white bottom, and you can differentiate this from the other fungi we'll talk about later. This again, white bottom, this is foamy's anosis.  This is foamy's anosis. It's got a brown top, it usually has littered layer associated with it, leaves, it's got a white margin, and underneath will be white, but it'll be bumpy, and not flat, and we'll talk about the flat one later.


Good afternoon, Howard Wiig, Code Green, Think Tech, Hawaii. Luxury, Princeville, affordable green housing. Isn't that an oxymoron? Absolutely positively not. I have great pleasure in having as my guests this afternoon Tom DeGroote, Project Manager for Unlimited Construction Services. And they pulled off something that I would have found very, very unlikely. Affordable housing in Princeville on Kauai. I think when we all take an image of any new construction there, we're thinking, well, maybe the Donald needs a fourth or fifth or sixth home, he'll build something there. But, you know, the people who work at Princeville, they're not the highest income people. And all of those who are familiar with Kauai know you're gonna have to commute, generally a very long way to get from your humble home to Princeville and all the way back again. It sounds like half of your paycheck would be taken by the gas bill. So what a concept. Let's get some affordable housing in Princeville. So it gives me great pleasure to bring Tom DeGroote to the table here. Welcome, Tom. Hey, well, thank you very much for having me here. And like you explained, you know, that drive, it's a long drive for a lot of employees in Princeville, you know, they're working at the resorts and they can't really afford living up around Princeville in that area. It's very expensive for rent up there. And you're commuting from Lahoui, could be Puipu, you know, even the west side people driving. And with Kolaupua, I know it's been in the development for about 30 years, they talked about having affordable workforce housing in the Princeville area for the workers. And Kolaupua is dedicated to those workers. You have to work in Princeville, first of all, to get into Kolaupua. And next it opens up to Hanalei and also Kilauea. And it was so badly needed, these houses, the rental apartments, but it was so badly needed within three weeks, it was 100% full. I believe so. Yeah, it was just amazing how fast that went. If you'd put it out in advance, you probably would have had this great big waiting list. There was, there was. People were coming, the first time they saw us digging, they were asking, when can they get on the waiting list? It is badly needed and more is actually needed up there. There's a substantial amount of people have to commute. Absolutely, yeah. You can't live up there, you know. And again, these are not high income people. No. And gas, especially on Kolauea, is not cheap. Gas and housing, you know, figure for three bedroom, you're gonna pay three grand a month for living up in Princeville area. And here they had the opportunity, you know, we built 16 one bedroom, 16 two bedroom and 12 three bedroom. And, you know, the rent is, I think the one bedroom is 850, the two bedrooms, 1,100 and the three bedrooms, 1,300. Now that's very affordable. Affordable, yeah. And just a bit of background. The name of the development up there is Kolauea. And the way I saw it was the BIA, the Building Industry Association, has an annual Gala called the Renaissance Fair. And in that event, they give prizes for the best of the best of the best of housing built that year. And I happened to be the energy efficiency judge. And I took a look at this project and said it has all the green features and it's affordable and it's in Princeville. So I had no problem giving it an award. So I met your principals at the Gala. Why don't we take a look at the first slide where we have a construction project. So obviously it's wood construction. I see the hurricane clips there. There's a lot and lots of hurricane clips. Yes. They had to over engineer it because you'll get into it further but there's a lot of light, a lot of windows. So you don't really need that much lighting in there. It had to be really reinforced extra. And the more windows you have, the healthier your building is because we human beings were evolved in the great outdoors, the extent that we can continue to commune with the great outdoors, the healthier we are and the happier we are. So why don't we go on to the next slide here and get an overview of it. This, yeah, this is a pretty good sketch of the whole thing. What's going on here? Well, you're standing in the parking lot and we're looking up towards, on the right hand side are the one bedroom units. The middle is a one bedroom and the left hand side, those are three bedroom units. And as you can see, they were designed. They have the sunshades over the windows to help keep on the cooling. The siding is hardy panel. It's a cement composition board that was already colored. So we didn't have to use any paint to paint the exterior. It came like that. And I think it's pretty well weather resistant and more specifically salt air resistant. Very, very important that you're not all that far from the sea. Yes, and that was another reason why it was really over engineered because we were within one mile of the radius from the ocean. And that put us into a higher standard of building. Yeah, you and I had both seen some new construction as little as one year, certainly two years after construction, you're gonna see all this corrosion going on. So you probably had vinyl panels around the windows. The windows were vinyl. They were flashed, of course. Stainless steel nails were used for all the trim. And the siding is blind nailed so the moisture won't get to that. Of course, I do tie back to that helps with the weather resistance. Weather moisture control, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, let's take, if we can take another look at that same slide, you touch something near and dear to my heart, namely the overhangs that you mentioned. You see where there's a considerable, the roof goes over the building considerably. And this is a good shot because it shows a lot of the shading. Oh, and I see there's eyebrows over the windows also. Yeah, the sun shades. That's what I was mentioning. That helped with the lead aspect too. Yeah, yeah. Lead being leadership and energy and environmental design. So is this a lead certified project? Lead platinum. Lead platinum. Yes, we got platinum. We went, ooh. They were shunned for gold, but we got platinum out of it. Well, something near and dear to my heart, those eyebrows over the windows and then there's a considerable overhang from the roof itself. If you were to take a temperature reading of the gray wall, say at two in the afternoon on a very sunny day, you would get, you would get certainly up to 130 degrees on that gray wall because it's somewhat absorbent. And then if you shot the shaded portion up above there, you would go down to way under 100, probably maybe 95 degrees. Shading is so important in Hawaii. I'm the energy codes guy and we built in shading to our new energy codes. And this is just a perfect, perfect example of that. Any other lead type aspects we can see from this shot here? Oh, I imagine the windows are probably high performance. Yes, they are. And I know on the interior, you have insulation through all the wall, exterior walls and the roof has insulation in it too as well. Was that the spray foam or fiberglass or? It's just the roll. Okay, well, let's move on to the next slide then. This is, I had forgotten this was lead platinum. You see all the lighting, the exterior lighting is 100% LED. And they aren't timers, so people just can't turn them off and turn them on. Even their porch light, that's on the same timer as the side lighting, which again is LED. And you know, if I know anything about LED porch lights, they could be as little as 10 watts. They are, yep, yep. And then how about the pole lighting there? We can't quite see it from here, but I want to say that I'm thinking the pole lighting was 75 watts, but I can't give you a definitive on that. And then the bowlards, the little bowlards there, those were 25 watts. Yeah, and for those of you not in the know that little pillar looking thing, that's a bowlard. And it has a light in it and it has a lid on it also so that the light is directed down onto the pathway exactly where you need it instead of being directed up into the heavens too. Well, number one is bad visual acuity. And number two, you're wasting energy there. And again, I love the shading that these overhangs give here. Yeah, they were not your typical three-foot, they were three-foot six to wider overhang. Yeah, yeah, it just makes a ton of difference. A lot of the heat gain that we get from both homes and buildings in Hawaii is because of the lack of overhangs where you get that direct solar radiation on the walls. And again, I've shot with a heat gun, some of those walls, especially dark color, I've gotten 140 degrees on the exposed interior. Yeah, and so you reduce, just by the shading, you reduce the exterior wall temperature by easily 30 degrees. So that's definitely one reason why you got lead there. Let's just take a look at another shot here. This is very similar to anything new we're seeing here. Yeah, I see more on the right there. I see even more of an overhang there. I know a lot of the plants, the landscaping was based after Hawaiian culture. And there's like a little garden in the front. The tenants, there's taro and there are sweet potatoes. And there's also a breadfruit trees all around the property.  Pretty good. Yes, yes, or they make potato chips with breadfruit. Yeah, and I have a lot of Samoan and Hawaiian friends and I have a breadfruit tree. And when the season comes around, hey Howard, how's that tree doing? How's that tree doing? Yeah, just I'm very, very happy to give away all that. So when they mature, they're gonna be made very, very good use of. And it's a very high nutrient. But on that cheery note, we need to take a break, think take away. Howard, wake code green back in a minute. Looking to energize your Friday afternoon? Tune in to stand the energy man at 12 noon. Aloha Friday here on Think Tech Hoy. Aloha, my name is Richard Emory and I host condo and cider. We talk about issues facing the condo association throughout Hawaii and talk about solutions. When you think about it, about one third of our population lives in some form of common interest real estate. We broadcast every Thursday at 3 p.m. Please tune in, tune in and thank you. Aloha. Aloha, everyone. I hope you've been watching Think Tech Hawaii. But I'm here to invite you to watch me on Viva Hawaii every Monday at 3 p.m. I'm waiting for you, mahalo. Hello, this is Martin de Spang. I wanna get you get excited about my new show which is humane architecture for Hawaii and beyond. We're gonna broadcast on Tuesdays, 5 p.m. here on Think Tech Hawaii. Hey, look at this. Good afternoon again, Howard Wigg code green. I have as my honored guest, Tom De Groot, project manager for unlimited construction services. And again, in my humble opinion, they pulled off something resembling a miracle, affordable housing in Princeville and something that I'd forgotten. They achieved the whole thing and got lead platinum. There are not that many lead platinum projects, residential or commercial in the entire United States of America. So this is about as green as you're ever going to get. And it's affordable. And as we discussed earlier, it's for the workers on the North Shore of Kauai there. Why don't we bring up another slide here? Is that the bread? No, that's not the breadfruit. No, that's not the breadfruit, yeah. But the jealousies are right in the front there. Oh, okay. Jealousy windows. Again, I'm the energy codes guy for the state and something that we wrote in to the code unique in the nation is provision for jealousy windows. They wouldn't, if you follow the mainland code, you can't have it because they have too much air leakage and you try to make the home very, very tight. But in Hawaii, we want to make the home very, very loose. And the advantage of jealousies are of course that they can be opened and closed at will. And for those of us who go back here ways, we remember the old jealousy windows that were very, very easy to break into. There was a couple of friends' houses. They weren't home. When I thought they would be, I didn't have a key. And I just go into the back and I lose some windows and that crawl, crawl, it's weird. Get in very easily. Yeah, it's true. But the new brand of jealousies are much, much, much more burglar-proof and they're much stronger than the old ones. Yeah, you can lock them down better, that's for sure. Yeah, yeah. So if there's too much breeze blowing, you close them down. When you need the breeze, you open them up. And because they're pretty gosh darn safe, I would say that most people would feel very comfortable letting the jealousies be open when you sleep at night. And I assume that there's no air conditioning in these. No, there's no air conditioning, but the bedrooms do have fans and the living rooms do have fans in them. And that's another thing we built into the code. It's if you've built to the code that we're still, we have yet to formally adopt. And I would say, point out that fans can reduce your perceived temperature by up to 12 degrees. If it's a really, really hot, muggy corner day, you get that, you turn your fan to medium or even high and you absolutely feel cool. Yes. And this is something I've been really discussing with the Department of Energy or Department of Education. You don't need to air condition all classrooms. Many yes, but many will go get by very, very easily with fans. Much cheaper to install and the energy use is almost nothing. And unlike air conditioners, they're not gonna break down after five, six, seven years. The maintenance is much cheaper. And the new fans are made out of composite materials. Does that include your fans, you know? No, these are just your typical ceiling fans. But they do have very, very long lives now. I know the bearings are much better and the lubricant is sealed in there. And we're, our technological improvements are just so drastic and fancy. Yeah, yeah. So why don't we take a look at another slide here? Oh, what in the world is all this about now? Or is this just a fancy photo here? No, it didn't look like that this morning. But I think we're getting a better view of, you can see the sunshades and how they're on the southeast and west exposures. Oh, speaking of which, orientation, were you able to orient, so a lot of windows towards the north range answer? Towards the south, they had a lot of windows. Oh, because so, can you get a view of the sea from these? If not really enough. Steen and your tippy toes on the roof. But you do have a beautiful view of the Nepali. The, the, the mountains, yeah. It's beautiful because you're right across the street from where the tourists go for the lookout. And you can see the tarot farms and everything below. It's really, it's a beautiful location they are in. So, so they have a millionaire's view at a beautiful place. They have a very great view. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and again, I, this is a really clear photo of the, the sunscreens and looks like we've got more land. Oh, is that a barbecue thing? Yeah, there's two little areas for the residents. They could barbecue and again, you could do it at nighttime too, because you have the LED sight lighting. Yeah, yeah. And again, the, the, the eyebrows of the sunscreens are just on the east, west and south faces because you, you don't need them on the north because you get no direct solar radiation. You see how well they're shading. Yeah. An upper window there is completely covered on. Totally, totally shaded. Yeah. How about the lower windows? I see some kind of shading over them. There is on the lower, on the right-hand side, which is, or excuse me, the left-hand side, there's a sunshade on the right-hand side. What you're seeing is, that is the electrical meter closet. And there is a little roof over that, so it's acting like the same purpose as the sunshade. And all of the units are townhomes, I'm gathering. Some two homes to a unit and some three or four? Yeah, well, there's four. So you have one, two, one, two.  I see, I see, I see, I see, yeah. What is the square footage, do you remember? You said you had studios, one and two bedrooms. The one bedroom is 676 square feet, so it's pretty good size for one bedroom. The two bedroom is 875, and the three bedroom is 1,100. And I just read an article and I've had considerable discussions about the needed size of living spaces. And for the longest time, in my opinion, of course I'm slightly prejudiced, we had two gosh darn much square footage. We were talking about the fact that especially on the mainland, you have 3,000, three and a half thousand square feet. And that includes, of course, a large living room. And everyone I talk to says the living room has nothing to do with living. It's kind of serving as a museum. It's your ancestral furniture from your mom or dad or grandparents or whatever. And it's all carefully arranged and sits there and looks pretty, well, nobody goes in. So these smaller sizes, including for families, they're fine and we are much better at being able to construct storage places and all that these days to make the room feel more homey. Then I can remember my grandma had, they had the formal dining room. And do you want to use it Thanksgiving and Christmas? Yep, yep, yep, same here. So we're getting out of time. Here's an interior shot. Let me guess everything is, if it looks like, is that a guest over? No, that isn't electric, but they are all energy star rated. Every appliance and even the fans, the exhaust fans in the bathrooms are energy star rated too. And we gave them some upgrades. I don't know, can't really see, but those are granite countertops. Really? It's granite countertops. My goodness, they had to pay a couple extra dollars for that. No, we did it at what we were, our budget was. Wow. And there was a lot of VE in for this project to get it into budget, but that's something that we take pride in doing on that one. VE being value engineering, and in the old days those nasty value engineers used to say, oh, that efficiency stuff, we don't need that, gotta have a granite countertop instead. Good, so you squeeze that in. So people get a feeling of luxury interior in addition to the exterior. And I don't have a picture of the restrooms, but the restrooms, the water closet or the toilet, it's a dual flush. So that saves on, you know, your water bill or water consumption. And the shower heads are all 1.75 gallons per minute, shower heads. And again. The faucets are probably 0.9 or 1.0? It's very low, I know, on the volume. And even the water heater, that was an energy star rated too. That's an electric, what are you? It's electric. Why, how come no solar up on the roof? They're going to put solar, but it wasn't in the budget right then. You know, the solar, it's kind of pricey, so. Yeah, but I, Are you talking about the solar water? Yeah. I think again, that was a budget driven issue. There is a solar water on the community center, which you'll see a picture of here. Yeah, so you made platinum even with electric water heaters. Yeah, that's a 0.970 efficiency rating, I guarantee that. And there's the community center. So yeah, there's your solar water heating and you've got a metal roof on that. And it looks like a dark roof. Well, it is dark, but my guess is that it's probably permeated with something like titanium dioxide so that you get a high reflectivity, heat reflectance, even though it looks like it's an absorptive material. That's just my guess. I knew that. I couldn't answer that. Yeah, yeah. So what else is going on in the community center there? Well, there's a laundry in there and there's also free wifi for the residents that could go sit there. And if they have to do research or just pass the time away while doing their laundry, they have that luxury. And it's staffed Monday through Friday and then Saturdays. Monday through Friday, nine till I think six o'clock. And then Saturday, it's from noon until five o'clock. And how does the staff serve the residents there? Well, they're the property manager. And you know, they'll go around and they'll fix whatever problems that might occur. They'll collect the rent and, you know, just probably summon to talk to at times too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was added amenity. Again, this is all for, you know, property managers don't come cheap. Well, they're not that expensive, but you have to pay them and you still are able to keep the rents. Way way affordable, right? This is just really astounding stuff. Yeah. Anything else you can think about that we didn't cover that got you to lead platinum? Lead platinum is really exceptional. Well, I know all the penetrations, they were either fire cocked or they were acoustical cocked when cocking. And the electric pad, all the receptacles, those were wrapped as well to keep out, you know, any drafts or anything between the buildings. And all the paint was low VOC paint, you know, that. And all the adhesives that were used in it were again low VOC. Which means incidentally that there are no toxic gases coming off of it, so you're utterly totally safe. On the mainland, you have some pretty unhealthy interior air issues, but because this is Hawaiian because you've opened up with the jealousies and used all these safe materials, you've got almost zero impact of any sort of air quality, indoor air quality considerations, that's my guess. I would agree with you 100%. There's a great breeze up there. Yep, yep. Because you said you're up, you know, you're not down in the Gully or anything. And you've designed for that microclimate. And on that cheery note, we're just getting warmed up, but we must leave, thank you so much, Tom, the Groot Project Manager for Unlimited Construction Services. This was an exceptional project. I hope you get some national awards out of this. Well, you know, you never know. Maybe your TV exposure will do that for us. Thank you.


Make sure you take a close look on the signage because we walked the wrong way a couple of times So make sure to check where you need to go Today we are hiking in the Chamonix Valley again, which is located right at the border of France, Italy and Switzerland We are hiking a 14 kilometer trail starting at a small town called Argentaire and finishing at Chamonix Because it is a continuous straight path, you can always see the Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains on your left side This promises to be a really beautiful and scenic trail Hi, I'm Dane and I'm Alette from High Colleagues and today we're hiking at Petit Pâcon Sud in Chamonix Yes, which means the little balcony on the south side And I think it's called the balcony trail because it's like a balcony like trail with a view on the Mont Blanc massif the whole way And we start in Argentaire and we go to Chamonix, right? Yeah, a little bit past Chamonix. It's a 14 kilometer hike and it's pretty straightforward only straightforward, but it's really cool So let's go So it's still pretty early in the hiking season It's almost May and that's why you still see a lot of fallen trees from the snow season that's like a whole nest of ants and I don't know how they're crawling that just I Get the itches from it and that's why I'm moving all the time because I'm scared that the ants are all over me So the trail so far is really really pretty, but there are ants everywhere like really big ants Like Alette said, we are really early in the season and that's why a lot of paths are still closed like this one Normally we had to go this way, but there's a lot of danger for rock slides and everything So there's a little deviation. So we have to go there On the trail again, we found the signs again, the tea-bulk on streets We had a little detour through a city and then we declined a lot and at the end We were walking on a big gravel road, but we're back again on the trail So we are now halfway and it's surprisingly beautiful with the valley on our left and the mountains on our right and Just now we walked past the cable car where we started the beautiful hike as well It's called the mirror lakes be sure to check that one out with amazing views It was just before the winter time The reason why we are walking on this altitude now is because like one altitude higher when we did the mirror lake walk It's all covered in snow right now. So we can't walk there So we did that hike just before winter time and it's now almost May So in spring and we would like to know what is your favorite season for hiking? Let us know in the comments below So right behind me in the white mountain top somewhere over there is Achille Midi That's a station which is 3842 meters high and to that high point you can take a cable car all the way up And we've been there in a previous vlog which will attack white here in the corner Make sure you take a close look on the signage because we walked the wrong way a couple of times So make sure to check where you need to go because we had to zigzag all the way up again Which was pretty tiring, but a cool good training for us originally we had to come from here We're almost at the finish line of the Petit Balcon suit trail. It was surprisingly beautiful this trail It's a pretty easy hike. It's pretty straightforward And I really like the variety in greenery because most of the trail you walk in the shades and sometimes you walk in like full sun But it's a good mixture between both because when you walk in a full sun It also means that you have the most insane views The only thing you need to be careful for is that you don't walk the wrong way like we did a couple of times We'll put a GPS link in the description down below so you can check the original and the good route So if you choose to do this trail make sure you do it from Argentaire to Chamonix Because that way you have the most insane views on the Mont Blanc massif I really hope you enjoyed this video as much as we did. We loved it So if you like this video, please make sure you subscribe to our channel. It helps us a lot to grow our channel And we see you in the next video. Bye. Bye


Johnny dollar hi, Johnny. This is Lou little over here at state. You need light Lou. There must be some mistake. Goodbye Oh, wait a minute. Will you well don't hang up on me? What do you mean some mistake two solid years? I had to wait for an assignment from you. Well, I know suddenly two calls within two weeks I don't know if I can stand the shock come clean. What's the problem problem? My only problem Johnny is getting rid of exactly $1,000. Well, how nice and I suppose you just want to hand it over to me. What else are you kidding? Am I you got to be when did you come over here and see sure? Why not just be ready to pay my cap there sure? Why not okay?  You know relief is on its way Mentholatum deep-heating rub is an extra strong combination of active ingredients for safe temporary relief of minor arthritic rheumatic pain Use greaseless stainless mentholatum deep-heating rub often Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to state unity life insurance company home office, Hartford, Connecticut Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the well of trouble matter Little was just leading me on had some real nasty case bothering him But if it meant a thousand bucks in my kick and after the one I handled a week ago for him for free Well to repeat myself. Why not? Expense account item one a buck twenty for a cab to his office. I'm kidding you one bet Johnny Here baby a perfectly good check for 1,000 class Merry Christmas to you, too, but what's it for Lou? Why don't you take a look at the signature on it? G Stanley Porter. That's right Last week's little Frank is after what you did for him and considering you wouldn't even take expenses for it Well, he insisted that you happen. I thought I made it plain Lou the insisted All right I'm certainly not going to turn down a thousand bucks. He wouldn't have it otherwise Tell him thanks for me with him be glad to Hey, what goes around here? Huh? You planning a trip to the gambling halls of Las Vegas or just leaving the country in a hurry. What do you mean? Big stack of dough on your desk. Oh that yeah, what goes Lou?  I'll pick up the change lying man You'll find that's exactly two thousand three hundred and eighty eight dollars and twenty four cents Just about to mail out a receipt for it receipt Yeah, just received in the mail from an old crackpot by the name of Jeremy R. Withers What's it for his insurance premium? What else in cash in cash? Like always he simply stops it into a plain brown envelope and mails of them without even ensuring it must be a crash Johnny I've written him half a dozen times pointing out the risk and sending as much cash in the regular mail I've even offered to send somebody out to his place to collect it from him, but he'll have none of it crazy stubborn as that wild old Western character Durango Laramie Dalhide, huh? Drangle what that's right. You know believe it or not. He lived in a town called Bum Spong, Oklahoma Oh, not your kid. No, I'm not really a little old Indian name Bum Spong means bad spring. Yes Bum Spong bad water But at least Durango had a had sense enough to bring in the cash in person nearly 4,000 at a crack once a year. I thought maybe you might have heard my report on the case a couple years ago I must have missed it, but at least old Jeremy withers his company and his eccentricity Look if you could meet some of the wacky policy holders I've had to deal with you think nothing at all of withers. Maybe maybe not What are you chuckling down? I know Durango boy. He gave us quite a scare that one time How do you mean well? He brought in the stack like this one day, you know and brother You should have seen them one look and you'd have sworn they were counterfeit, but they weren't now You know what they've done Carefully washed and starched and ironed the money to make it look like new just like some of these Wait a minute a little what's around a giant just hold everything a minute, huh? Just hold up on that receipt for this stuff with him. Why? What's the matter with it? Well, I find this Jeremy withers you got his address. Well, sure. Let me have it. Well, sure Johnny Well, what's the matter? Just let me have his address Expensical item 2 a dime for a phone called the police headquarters where I got some very interesting information and Incidentally gave none in return Item 3 another dollar 20 for a cab back to my apartment Item 4 397 to fill up the gas tank in my car It was getting dark now, but I headed west on 44 then north on 202 Few miles short of Granby. I found the dirt road. I was looking for leading off to the left Then finally the crossroads known as nobody corners Consisting of one general store a grocery and a filling station where I stopped only long enough to get some local directions The Jeremy withers place turned out to be a tiny square Unpainted clibbered building that sat for lonely in the middle of a small seedy-looking weed-grown lot But there was a flickering light inside.

I sent in I said, where did you get it? Mr. Withers I'm talking about these brand-new $20 bills anything wrong with it Well, you're talking you might think it was counterfeit or something counterfeit hardly. No, of course not But it's plenty hot believe me. Now. What do you mean by that? Are you trying to tell me you don't know how should I know? Why do you lock yourself in the way you do not only a lock on the door of its safety chains in a bolt man's got a Right to protect yourself in here against what? Well, maybe maybe against nosy people like you Now what's the matter with that money? You gonna tell me or ain't you sure I'll tell you These new bills are part of the loot from the first national bank over in Millville Luke that's right stolen money over $20,000 mostly in you 20s. Yeah, I worked on the case I had to memorize a list of serial numbers or rather number groups as long as your arm You must have a good memory boy. Luckily the numbers were consecutive all starting with triple six double four So it wasn't too much of a strain. Well, you mean you didn't solve the case. I didn't get to first base But you didn't answer my question Where did you get these? Just part of the money ahead Mr. Withers, where do you get your income? Well from a pension that's what pension anything wrong with that big enough to afford an annual insurance premium of over $2,300 so for two three years. I've been able to pay it. Okay doesn't make any sense with us and you know it Yeah, look son. I worked hard all my life made a right steady income and saved up a little bit put side Mr. Withers, I never did like to waste what I had on fancy living and such like So after my wife died and our kid went off and got herself married Well, I just kept on putting it side And these here last couple of years to I've been buying up some insurance so my daughter she can benefit when I die now anything wrong with that What sort of work did you do? Fragment for the railroad company.  Well, all right, mr. Miss mr. Dollar. Did you say it is? That's right Johnny dollar Well, maybe a head better tell you where some of the money come from I think you better. Well, you see I had a son too Stepson his name was Bernard. Wait a minute Barney withers You know him Barney the bum That punk and small-time bank robber who was finally killed trying to crack security first over in Danbury Yes, that was right after the job in Millville and two or three others before that. Yes, sir Keep talking mr. Withers well now, maybe it's pretty bad thing for me to say him being my wife's kid and all but Mr.. That Bernard was no good. That's an understatement. Whatever happened to him.  No good bank robber go on. Well, it was my knowing about him That's what kept me from ever putting what I had in any bank and said I sort of kept it right close Where I could watch over it where? Yeah, sure. I'll tell you right under the floor over there in the corner. You better show it to me mr. Withers I'd like to look at the rest of your money. Well, it's all gone now gone. I mean all used up The money of all I mean, that's why I had to start using up some of that that Bernard hit away What's the matter with you anyway first you tell me Barney was no good because of the jobs He pulled you say that he deserved to die for what he did You don't hesitate to keep and use the money that he stole Well, no, I didn't steal it. Did I do you think that makes you any less guilty for keeping it and spending it? We're sure returning it to the banks that it was stolen from And why didn't you turn Barney in when you found out what he was doing? You say you had no use for him Well, I've been looking out for myself as all man's got to look out for yourself, don't he from now on the state It's gonna be looking out for you, but you mean you're gonna get me arrested and put in jail You don't think I'm gonna let you get off scot-free Well, it ain't as though Bernard done them jobs alone by himself. Is it what difference does that make was that partner? He has killed the bank guy over in Millville never caught him though. That has nothing. Whatever to do with this money that Wait a minute You know who that partner was who I know Why else you suppose I keep myself locked in here this way and why I took out some life insurance Who was it? Oh that rotten crooked Jerry McNeer. That's who and you didn't tell the authorities. Why should I? If ahead they might have tried to make me tell them where Bernard hid the money at the same as that McNeer has been trying Oh, only I kept telling him I don't know. Mr. Withers. Don't you see there's tears for police and all think McNeer got all the money And I'll tell you this mr. Guller. Yes, tell me only thing that's kept that McNeer from killing me off or not telling him Is that then he'd never find out where Bernard hid out that money?  Withers and fast Yeah Well, now if I tell you where it's at Shows you can take it back. You think maybe the police they'd go a little Leasy on me. Well, isn't that pretty up? What's that? Oh, shut up on the kitchen window must be Now listen if you're sure it'll make it any easier on to me All or most of that money can be returned on the basis of your information. Well, of course it will all right, sir You you know the old hacker farm about two miles up the road No, but go on that's where the big poplar trees in the broken down windmill is Not a broken winters in the house place simply go on that's counted nobody been living it may be for Oh 10-15 years now except in Bernard when he was hiding and the money is somewhere in that house Well, yeah You sure you'll try and have them go easy on to me if I tell you where that money's here The only thing I'm sure of is if you don't tell me I'll turn you over to the authorities and tell them to show you no mercy at all All right. All right Go ahead. Well now at the back of that old house. There's a whole well Well, it ain't been used for years and it's near empty now. Yes You let yourself down with a rope on the windlass maybe oh seven eight foot There's a sort of big shelf all it out and that's where it is the money's right there on that shelf Okay, pop. Thanks. Hey Expecting somebody else pop. That's a corny line McNair keep out of this ready pop. No, Jay No, listen, Jay. Put it down put that thing down And now you take it easy McNair don't move listen to me. No keep away from that land Yeah Easy as one two three You've made ice tea and oh what a beautiful play Take a spoonful of instant tenderly one add cold tap water to load it with ice Three you've made ice tea New instant tenderly is 100% purity richer writer Livelier tea it's made right from the juices of ripe young tea leaves Instant tenderly brand make a pitcher full easy as one two You've made ice tea and oh what a beautiful flavor in new instant tenderly Second it took him to shoot down the old man I suddenly realized that I'd come along without my gun in spite of smashing the old-fashioned oil lamp the only light in The place his first shot put a nice new part in my hair as I rolled under the table the other two shots missed me Although he must have been able to see me in the light from the fire I'd started he stood there looking down at me at the blood running from the crease in my hair But then instead of shooting again, he turned away from an hour roaring fire went out the door and took off in a car I Got thoroughly singed dragging myself in the body of mr. Withers outside then jumped into my car and headed up the dirt road Hoping I could find the hacker farm some two miles away the one with the tall poplars the broken windmill the windowless house Yes, and the loot from the bank robberies Ahead of me with a tail lights at McNeer's car The moon was full I could see pretty well, so I cut off my own lights After only a mile or so he turned off to a farm that had a broken windmill all right, but there were lights in the windows of the house Good he was going to the wrong place or else the old man had told me wrong With my headlights on again. I finally found it the old hacker farm the remains of a mailbox still bore the name on it After a quick look to make sure I wasn't being followed I drove in the yard and parked the car behind a clump of bushes Then walked around the old well With only the moonlight to go by I lowered the bucket Snagged the rope over the handle of the windlass and slowly went down Hand over hand into the well Feeling with my feet around the circular brick wall for the shelf that withers and described It was a big square hole in the side of that wall Big enough for me to crouch in and to find with the help of a match The two battered moldy old suitcases loaded with money Mostly tens and twenties literally hundreds of them No wonder McNear had been willing to kill once he'd found out where it was hidden But as I knelt there wondering about the best way to load the stuff in the bucket that was now swinging down near the water at the bottom of the well Pretty stupid dollar what? Got yourself into a trap didn't you?  That's right That's why I stay alive But you're not smart dollar and that's why you're gonna end up in the bottom of this well feeling real dead Kind of I'm the guy that's got the gun So as soon as I get a match going what makes you think I haven't got a gun and didn't try to use it Well, I was knocking over the old man You think I didn't know you were still alive I crouched there out of his sight Set my head on one corner of it well We shoved it out just far enough for him to see it if he struck another match Hope he'd think it was me now and then I waited Yeah, I got plenty of light now and you think I can't see your head and shoulders sticking out of that hole You make a real nice target dollar even with only a match to see you all right then I'll climb on back up the rope I know you won't what are you talking about? I'm gonna shoot you right there in the way wait a minute listen to me It's no use I found the money. I'll make a deal with you. I'll split 50 50 you make a deal You're trying to stall.  I gotta be sure my aim before this match goes out. Listen to me Dollar just as easy as that Get down here and Pick up all that nice new money Gotta be careful Nothing to hurry about Find that shell right here dollar I heard you dropping the water you heard that suitcase with my coat on it Go The shock of his fall will stand there in the water at the bottom of the well Knee deep in the money from the suitcase.

This study compares the maximum along-wind dynamic response of slender vertical structures subjected to thunderstorms and synoptic events using two case studies, a lighting pole and a telecommunications tower. The comparison is based on three ratios characterizing the difference between the two phenomena, reference wind speed, mean wind profile and gust response factor. Thunderstorms are found to provide the design loading condition in most cases. This article was authored by Luca Romcallo, Matteo Giamondo and Federica Tabino.
