Lux presents Hollywood. Lux Radio Theatre brings you Wallace Beery in the Champ with Josephine Hutchinson, Noah Beery and Bobby Larson. Ladies and gentlemen, your producer, Mr. Cecil B. Gamillo. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. The scene is a rushing crowd stream deep in the heart of Wyoming. The time late afternoon and a burly looking man in old clothes is patiently casting a fly in likely looking pools. The trout are ignoring him completely. I think it's partly due to this lack of cooperation from the trout that we were able to lure Wallace Beery back to the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. The bait we used was a play called The Champ, adapted from a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture in which Wally gave one of his most memorable performances. Just before this brief vacation, our star finished another picture at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer with the intriguing title Jackass Mail. Tonight in The Champ, we've surrounded him with a fine cast that includes Josephine Hutchinson, Noah Beery and Bobby Larson. The Champ is an inspiring story of a father and his boy, a prize fighter and his son who faced the world and fight the good fight together as a team they're invincible because the bond of devotion between them can stand all the tough luck the world throws their way. This drama is a tribute to the courage and stout hearts of all champions from 8 to 80 until I know it will thrill both you and those American boys in the armed forces who hear this program far from home. Putting those armed forces on wheels and wings is going to keep American industry working day and night for a long time to come. There'll be a smaller supply of goods for sale on the home front and that means we've got to make things last. In the case of stockings, rayon, wool and other washable fabrics, that's a job made to order for Lux Flakes. And the Lux way of doing the job has been tested in two kinds of scientific laboratories. There's the kind where serious looking gentlemen in spotless white rooms are surrounded by charts, retorts and miles of glass cubing. And then there's the other kind where a smiling young woman turns on the faucet and does a little home defense work on the family wardrobe. Of course it's Lux Flakes that has brought the smile to our face. Right now we'll put some smiles on your faces with the first act of the champ, starring Wallace Beery in the title role, Josephine Hutchinson as Linda, Noah Beery as Tony, and Bobby Larson as Dink. Just below the California border lies the sprawling little town of Tijuana, famous during the prohibition era as a mecca for American tourists. Its muddy unpaved streets were an endless procession of bars and gambling halls where the tourists and native rubbed shoulders in an atmosphere of desperate gaiety, of noise and smoke and the spicy odors of Mexican food. The streets are ablaze now for a Saturday night and the town is at its merriest. Threading his way through the crowd comes a ragged, dirty-faced boy, Dink Purcell. When he's only seven, he walks with confidence for Dink is at home and is boiling the border town. Hello, Dee. Hello, Dave. You seen the champ? Your papa? No, I have not seen him tonight. Well, what you do? Tell him I'm looking for him, will ya? Sure, I will tell him. I need no stuff. I gotta find him. They gotta fight me and get for him. A fight? Yo, man, ain't a fightin' a long time. That don't make no difference. He's still the greatest fighter in the world. Sure, Dee. I didn't say nothin'. If the champ wins this fight, he'll buy me a horse. A real horse? Well, whatcha think? A wooden one? A real horse. Man, oh man. Come on, Jonah. You can help me look for the champ. Okay. Maybe... Yes, sir, Loi. I'll tell ya.  Yeah, top of the heap. World's champing again. I'll be the world's champ again. You just watch and see. Sure, I'll watch. Now, that's a book for the Yomi Champ, wanna pay now? Sure, oh, sure. Well, if it ain't a little spitball, how ya, Dee? Gee, champ, I've been lookin' all over for ya. Those tomatoes, they're up at the Greek's waitin' for ya. They are. Don't go on it. I forgot all about it. You gotta straighten up, champ. Come on. Sure, sure. Hey, Jonah, get some ice and tell Curly to open up Canada's tomatoes. Okay, Dee. Say, what's the matter with you? I'm all right. They've been there for over an hour. Gosh, champ, why'd you have to go and forget? You might have spoiled everything. Hey, Loi, listen to that kid of mine ballin' me out. He's rough on me, that kid is. Oh, I'm gonna be good from now on, Dink. No kiddin'. Yeah, you said that yesterday. I know, but this time I mean it, honest. Here's the ice, Dee. Okay, rub the back of his neck with it. I'll cut it out, will ya? Tomatoes, kid. Come on, champ, drink this. I don't like that stuff. You gotta straighten up. Come on, drink it. One, two, three. That's right. Hello, boy, champ. That's terrible. Are you all right now? Sure, I'm fine. Fix your hat. We gotta look right when we meet those guys. Where are they?  They're at the Greeks, I told ya. Sponge is there, too. He's giving ya a big buildup. What do you mean, Sponge is giving me a buildup? I don't need no buildup. I know, champ. Sponge is just helping. Now come on, don't let on to the map. That's anything's wrong, huh? Don't you worry, Dink. They won't guess. But life nothing gets me away. Six years ago. What we want to know is how does he look right now. Same way, absolutely. He'll be here in a minute, you can see for yourself. That's what we're waiting for, Sponge.  Now, my idea was this. Andy can still draw a big gate in San Diego or anyway. Now, I think we should be entitled to at least 20% of the gate. I have voice. Champ. He's working out in a gym. Sit down, champ. You must be tired. Thanks, Dink. Well, gentlemen, what's your proposition? I was just talking that over with the boys, champ. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Let us do a little talking for a change. How's your condition, Andy? Oh, me? Oh, I'm fine.  Give me a champ. Sure. Stand up, Andy. What for? We want to take a look at you. Okay, sure. What do you think, huh? Here, feel that arm. It's harder to rock. My arms, good nozz. Pardon me, must have been something I had to. Yeah, seen enough, Harry? I guess so. Well, not if we're all set. What about the gate? We ought to get 20% at least. We're giving it to you, Sponge. All of it. The fight's off. Sorry, Andy, no can do. I don't get it. No, you've probably heard this before. Maybe the night you lost the championship. You lose fighting and prize fighting. Don't mix, Andy. Oh, what are you talking about? There's nothing to matter with me. Nothing, see?  Come on, Harry. Yeah, sorry, champ. Yeah, well, that settles that.  Tonight of all nights, you have to go out and cut up.   Go on, get out. Okay. Hey, Dink. Dink, come here. You don't believe what that guy said about me, do you? I've not been right when I lost the championship. Hmm, Dink? No. You know, I wouldn't lie to you, don't you? Yeah, sure. All right, ah, boy. Well, I guess I'll hit me. Don't bend over. I'll unleash your shoes. Oh, no. I can do that. Give me your foot. Dink, listen. I'd have been all right tonight only while, you know, there's some people invited me and you know how it is.  Sure. Lay down in the bed.  Oh, say, you don't have to treat me like I couldn't take care of myself. Go ahead. You ought to get some sleep. All right. Uh-oh. What's that? A dollar. Here. I guess it's the last we got, huh? Yeah, I guess so. Here, Dink. Spit on it, Dink. Just for luck. Go ahead. Okay. Atta boy. You know, things are going to change, Dink. Wait, you'll see. I'm going to behave myself from now on. Word of honor. Why, I'm even going to quit gambling. You like that, wouldn't you? Did you hear what I said, Dink? Yeah, I heard you. Well, aren't you coming to bed? In a little while. Dink, I'm awful sorry, honest I am. Good night, Dink. Good night, champ.  Wake up, wake up. It's morning.   I've got something to show you. What? Listen, Dink, remember that dollar that you spent on last night for luck? Well, I took it out this morning and it sure brought it. Eight passes one after another. Yeah, I thought you wasn't in a gamble no more. Oh, gee, I forgot, Dink, but I won plenty of money. It ain't wrong when you win, is it? Here. Look, see this watch? That's for you, Dink. Thanks, champ. Hey, what's the matter? Nothing. Well, I guess I'll get dressed. Wait a minute. Here, come over to the window. Now look down there in the street. See what sponges got down there? He's got a horse. Yeah, you think you could cut into that? You mean that the horse? Yes, the horse. He's yours. Hey, hey, come back here.  You can't go running around with that. Easy, fella. Easy, boy. Wonderful. Where'd you get him, champ? I want him from Joe. Sure, just like what I said. He's a race horse, Amy. Well, he ran in a race once. He could be a winner, though. Couldn't he sponge? Sure. After I work on him for a little while, he'll make the grade. Gee. His name is Butterfly. Butterfly. That's the heck of a name for a horse. We gotta change it. Okay. What are we calling? Wait. I know. We'll call him Little Champ. You're the big champ because you're the best fighter in the world.  Say, that's not a bad idea. We can start getting him ready and put him in a race right away. Sure. Sponge will have him set in no time. Oh, gee. Thanks, champ. Hey, against us, Dee. Huh? Little Champ. They got him now at 20 to 1. Yeah. Who's the favorite? Horse by the name of Blue Boy is the favorite. Dee is over there. See? They're taking pictures of him. Come on. I want to take a look. Hi, please. Oh, Mr. Carlton. Mr. Carlton. Yes? I'm from the San Diego Herald. Would you and Mrs. Carlton mind posing for a picture with Blue Boy? Not at all. Well, Linda, we're going to have our pictures taken. Oh, how nice. Blue Boy is Mrs. Carlton's horse, isn't he? He is. A birthday gift from my husband. Well, he's the favorite today. Who? My husband? A little to the right, please. Thank you. Not at all. Horses to the post, please. Jockeys up. Say, lady, I wouldn't bet on that horse if I was you. You wouldn't? If you got any money, you'd better put it on my horse. There he is. Just going out. Oh, he does look very good. He's going to be the winner. Then we must be sure and bet on it. What's his name? Little Champ. And what's your name? Dink. What's yours? Linda, I think Dink is a very nice name. Hmm, and ain't a bad name, either. Tony, dear, put $50 on Little Champ. Sure. I'll see you up in the box. You won't be sorry, lady. No, ma'am. You sure won't. Oh, I haven't been introduced to this gentleman. Oh, he's Jonah, my pal. Jonah, shake hands with Mrs. Linda. How do you do? Yes. He's colored. So he is. A very nice color.  Snap it up, folks. Snap it up. Oh, hello, Mr. Carlton. Hello. 50 to place on Little Champ, please.  Hey, excuse me, Mr. I... Hello, Andy. Hello, Carlton. I thought you never came out west. We're spending the winter in California. We meaning... Yes. Linda and I. Yeah, well, that's good enough. No more bets, folks. They're at the polls. You look as though you'd seen a ghost, Tony. I have, Linda. I saw Andy. Andy? Where? Look down there, by the rail. Yes, I see him. You see the boy with him? Quiet. It's the same one who... Tony. Yes. Easy, Dink. Take it easy. Oh, I'm the one Little Champ. Keep your hands to yourself, will you, Dink? Look at him. He's coming up at the beginning. Say, if you don't put the beating on me, I'll murder you. Oh, take it easy. He's all right, kid. Look, he's getting up. See, he's okay. Just winter, that's all. I think the nag's okay, Sponge. I guess so. He looks all right from here. Tough break. Tough on that kid. Not so good on us needed. We're clean again. Oh, well, we've been broke before.  Wendy. Yeah, what do you want? I'd like to see you alone. Okay, come on. Dink, Linda's child. Is he? Yeah, what about it? She'd like to see him, Andy. Yes, so what? Well, I think you ought to let her. Why? She washed us up both a long time ago, didn't she? Didn't she? Yeah, it was a mistake. You're married to Linda. I'd known her since she was a child and loved her. Yes, you was her class. I was just a runner-up who couldn't make the grade, so she gave me the gate. Oh, I'm sorry, Andy. That does a lot of good. Let Linda see the boy, please. No, not a chance. The courts gave me the custody of the kid, and I'm keeping it. Besides, you've got a kid of your own, ain't you? Yes, we have a little girl. But Dink is Linda's child, too. No, she's got you and a new kid. I got Dink. We all stay just as we are. She'd give anything in the world to talk to him, Andy. Anything? How much? I wasn't thinking in terms of money. Okay, then. Wait. Okay, Andy. Here's $100. Bring him over to the hotel tomorrow and there'll be another hundred. All right? Well, I'll tell you. I got to sleep on it.  Hold on. Mr. DeMille presents Act Two of the Champ, starring Wallace Berry, in just a moment. Now, it's a warm summer evening, and Betty's looking out her bedroom window, listening to the radio. It's a good old summertime. Well, I don't see what's so good about it. Everybody else has dates. But I'm stuck here in this stuffy old house. If only someone would say to Betty... Betty, dear, dates and romance come to girls who are charming. And without daintyness, no other charm counts. Why don't you protect daintyness? Luxe under things every day. And suppose Betty took this advice. Why, then, we'd hear... Lovely music. Oh, Tom, what fun we're having this summer. Oh, it's a wonderful summer, Betty, because of you. That's the way with Luxe girls. They win admiration and romance so quickly, because they have the irresistible charm of exquisite daintyness. New, quick Luxe flakes make it so easy to be sure of daintyness. Take away every trace of perspiration so quickly and safely. They keep under things like new longer, too, because Luxe has no harmful alkali. And because with the instant Luxe suds, there's no injurious cake soap rubbing. Yes, gentle Luxe flakes are kind to colors and fabrics.  Now, our producer, Mr. DeMille. Act two of the champs, starring Wallace Bailey in the title role, with Josephine Hutchinson as Linda, Norbury as Tony, and Bobby Larson as Dink. It's only a few miles from the champ's dingy quarters in Tijuana to the sedate beauty of the American Hotel and Caliente, but it's a new world to dink. In the living room of his mother's apartment, where the champ has sent him without a word of explanation, Dink is bewildered and ill at ease. At last the door opens and Linda comes in. Hello, Dink. Oh, hello, Linda. I'm so glad to see you again, Dink. You are? I was wondering why. Oh, and I'm kind of losing that dope for you at the races. Oh, that doesn't matter. Isn't that the reason why you wanted to see me? No. It was a lot more important than that. Say, this ain't a bad duck you got here, Linda. I'm glad you like it. Champ and me fixed up a swell of this, but I guess I'll do it tomorrow lively. It's right over the Greek saloon. I like to listen to the piano playing anyway, but the champ to come all night.  Oh, no. He takes me most every place, especially when he shoots stifes. I'm good luck to him. You like your father very much, don't you? Champ is the greatest find in the world. You are meeting sometime, Linda. I... I have met him, Dink.  No. Well, has he ever talked to you about your mother? Oh, yeah. She kicked the bucket before I was born. Is that what he told you? Well, I heard it someplace. Dink, try to understand. I'm your mother, Dink. Oh, no. Yes, Dink. I am. My mother? But why aren't you living with a champ and me? Well, your father and I disagreed. I'm married to Mr. Carlson now. Then... then you ain't married to the champ anymore? No. Oh.  How could you be? Oh, Dink. What are you crying about? Dink, I am your mother. Nothing that happened between your father and me can change that. Well, that's all right. You don't have to cry about it.  Do you, Dink? Do you really? Sure. I mean, well, I gotta go now. Dink, I wish you'd give me a kiss. Oh, no, Linda. I don't get stains. Please, Dink. What's a good knit? I'd like you to. Oh, well. Okay. So long. So long, Dink. I'm down to see you one or some time. I'll show you around. What happened, darling? He doesn't even want to know me. Oh, don't say that, darling. He just doesn't understand yet. How could he? Oh, Tony. If he grows up in that background, I'll blame myself all my life. We've got to get him out of it, Tony. We've got to. Be good to me, Dice. Come on, Dice. Come on, Papa. One mile to go. There she is. Little Paisy, shoot the whole work. Take it easy, champ. You're way ahead of the game. Don't bother me. Where's Dink? Hey, Dink, wake up. Come on, kid. You know what to do. Make the dice lucky for me, Dink. Oh, gee, champ. Everyone out of spirit. Come on. Don't give me that. Okay. It's all for late, champ. Ain't we going to hit the hay soon? Oh, sure, soon. Either from the caterhouse. That ain't hard to make. I'm dying on my feet, champ. Come on. When will you? Oh, we can't quit. I think we're going good. Yeah. That's it. Holy, Mikey. One again. Hey, champ. Yeah, what? Guy outside wants to see you. Oh, get out of here. I'm busy. He said it was important. His name's Carlson. Oh, yeah? Okay. Here's funds. Take the dice. Shoot your own donut. Andy, Linda and I have a proposition to make you. Yeah? We want you to give us Dink for six months. Yeah? Why? Because we want to help him. We want to do something for the boy. Like what, for instance? Well, send him to school, give him a different environment. He's got plenty of environment right here. I'm busy. Wait. I know that you love him, Andy, and Dink loves you. But this sort of like for a kid. Give the boy a chance. If you love him, Andy, you let Linda have him. I had a hunch it pulled something like this. Why? I got to do a lot of cotton to keep them smacking you down. Look. You see this dough? I got pretty close to four grand here.  Him and me is going to travel. What do you say to that? If we wanted to get nasty, Andy, we could take the boy away from you. You're not a very good father, you know? Why, you... Come on, beat it, Carlton. Get out. Beat it. I'm sorry, but I thought I'd give it to you straight. Good night, Andy. Hey, Mr. Chair, come on, Chair, but still your role. Give me those dice. Come on, spit on them, Dink. Ah, he just leaves, Chair, but like a light. All right, never mind. Never mind. Let him alone. I'm shooting a hundred. Come on, dice. Show them some rolling. Give me some paper. Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah. Sign right here. It stinks horse-whiter, you know?  That kid will die when he finds out. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you. If you can get the money within the next couple of days, I'll let you have him back. Okay, thanks. Dink. Dink, come on, wake up. We're hitting for home. Gee, what time is it? It's morning. You want me to carry you? Well, I got legs. Had bad luck, champ? Yeah, yeah, a lot of luck. Well, tomorrow's another day. Don't worry about losing. Little champ will make it all back in the next race. Dink, listen. I got to tell you something. What's the matter?  I lost him. Lost him? Yeah. You lost little champ? Oh, no. I'll get him back, Dink, just as soon as I get the money. What? You gave it to me? Oh, don't take on that way about it, Dink. I didn't mean to do it. It just happened. Come on now. Keep that chin up. Everything's going to be all right. Give me a smile. Sure. I'm smiling. That's the way. I'll get him back, Dink. I don't know how, but I'll get him. Bucks, Lindy, I wouldn't come to you, but you know how that kid loved that horse, and I promised I'd get him. You understand, don't you, Lindy? Yes, Andy. I haven't got it now, but, well, can I send it to you? Gee, thanks, Lindy. I can't tell you how I appreciate it. If there's ever anything I can ever do for you, but there wouldn't be, would there? There might be, Andy. You could reconsider about letting us have Dink. Take him away from me. Can't you see how much we could do for him? A good home, a decent atmosphere, friends. We'll send him to a good military school. Yeah, I know all about that. And you said no. But what right have you to say no? Why don't you let Dink decide? Perhaps he'd like to stay with us. Ask him. Okay, Linda, I'll ask him. You will? You've promised. I promise. I thought he was the right champ.  Right away. You want some more meat, Dink? No, corn. Yeah, I'll be here. Come on, help yourself. Oh, say, almost forgot. I gotta ask you something. What? Well, you wouldn't like to go to a military school, would ya? No. What's it like? Well, it's like a prison. You wear a uniform. You got a march all the time, and they wake you up in the morning with a bugle. You wouldn't care for that, would ya? No. No. And you wouldn't care to live in a great big house, would ya?   Wash three times a day? Nothing doing. No, you got the right idea, Dink. And look, I don't suppose you'd be crazy about going to one of them colleges and sitting in an old room where you gotta read books all day. That's out too, huh? Books? Not for me. That's out. Sure. I kind of thought you'd feel that way, but I had to ask you, though. Hey, champ. Oh, Whitey. You got him? Yeah, I got him. By who? Now, who do you suppose? Little champ. I'm buying him back for ya. Little champ?  Down in my place. Oh, gee. I got a march here.  Yeah. You got my dough, Andy? Yeah, I got it, sure. 300 bucks, wasn't it? Yeah, how much it was. Oh, yeah, yeah. Here you are. 102 to... Oh, wait a minute. Guess the number on this bill. Odd or even. Are you starting that again? Okay, okay. Let me 10 bucks, and I'll buy you a drink then. He says that he looks like man of war when he can't run his best yet. All he needs is practice. That's all. It's just like the champ. He didn't know as much about fighting when he first started, as later on when he was champion. It's the same with a horse. Sure. Say, something's going on across the street, ding. Yeah, let's go see. Look, there's a sheriff man. Wow, somebody's getting pinched. Somebody's laying in jail today. Yes, sir. Hurry up. I want to see who. Let go of me. Let go of me, will ya? Keep your paws off of me. Can a guy speak his mind while being dragged to jail? Oh, hello, ding. Oh, gee whiz. Yeah, I guess I'd get it again, ding. Ramos, come along, you. Yeah, that is too bad. Move along.  Hello, champ. Hello, Sponge.  Ain't you slept any? No. No, I've been thinking. Oh, boy, what a joint. Say, what happened anyway? I hear you're acting up down at Joe's and by the time I get there, they got you in a can. What was the beef, champ? Oh, what's the difference? Okay, okay. Where's ding? Is he coming? Yeah, sure. He's on his way now. He's stopped off for something. Listen, Sponge, I've been thinking it all over. I'm giving ding to his mother. Huh? I'm giving it to him there. I know good. He'll be better off with her. It'll be tough making him go, but he's got to. Oh, gee, what do you do without him? What do he do without you? Oh, after a while, he'll forget me. Kids always do. Hey, champ.  Look, I brought something to eat, champ. I told Chilly Mary to make it special for you. Look, just what you like. I ain't hungry.  What? What for? Because I say so. You're going to stay with her from now on. Oh, no, champ. I want to stay with you. Do you? Well, that's tough, because you're not going to. What am I going to do with her? Well, you're going to go to school, learn things. Grow up to be somebody. Let her feed you for a while. I'm tired of feeding you. What with you eating all the time?  I won't eat so much, champ. And I won't hang around you. I'll stay up at the Greeks and wait till you come home, nice. No. You're going over to her. I'm saying you are, so you're going. I wish you wouldn't send me, champ. I'll go to school here, huh? I'll be somebody when I grow up. Somebody like you. No, no. You're going to your mother's. Do you hear me now? I don't want any sniveling out of you and no back talk. No, champ. I ain't going. I ain't. You're going. I ain't. I'm staying with you. Do you hear me? Get out. I'll learn you to argue. Go on. Beat it. I hit him. I hit him. What's the matter with you? I hit him. You're slamming your hand against the wall like that. You want to break it? I hit him. I hit that kid of mine. I hit him. I hit him. I hit him. I hit him. The official identification. This is the Columbia Broadcasting System. After a brief intermission, Mr. DeMille presents act three of the champ, starring Wallace Beary. But now, Sally says you remember things better if they're rhymed. So here's a reminder for you. To make her precious stockings wear. Strong soap, the wise girl shuns. She always uses mild luxe care. Because it cuts down runs. Yes, gentle luxe flakes guard the elasticity of stocking threads so they can stretch and spring back into place again instead of breaking into runs. Strong soaps and rubbing with take-so weaken elasticity so your stockings can't take it when they're strained. They get dry and brittle, break easily into costly runs like this. My, that's a sad thing to see nowadays. A run in your stocking. It is indeed, Sally. And when you see it, it's too late to do anything about it. Except mend it and wish it hadn't happened. The time to do something about stocking runs is before they happen. And the thing to do is to luxe your stockings after every wearing. Luxe cuts down runs. New quick luxe suds take away soil and perspiration quickly and safely and save the vital elasticity that a stocking must have if it's to fit and wear well. Cut down runs in all your stockings. Silt, nylon, new rayons and miles too. With luxe flakes. To make her precious stockings wear, strong soap, the wise girl shuns. She always uses mild luxe care because it cuts down runs. Now, Mr. DeMille returns to the microphone. The curtain rises on the third act of the champ starring Wallace Beery with Josephine Hutchinson, Noa Beery and Bobby Larson. On a train speeding north toward Los Angeles, a full-on little figure sits huddled by the window. His chin buried in the collar of his new suit. Dink is trying very hard not to cry. Sitting beside him is lender, patient and understanding.  We'll have some fine times together. Just you wait and see. Are you sure you won't have some dinner, Dink? It's fun having dinner on the train. No, thanks. I'm hungry. All right, darling. Oh, I forgot to tell you I have some good news for you. Tony pulls some strings in Tijuana before we let them in your father's home again. You mean you got him out of jail? That's right. Oh, thanks a lot. Was he all right? Yes, he was fine. Did he ask about me? Of course. And Tony told him you were getting along fine. Oh. That's what you want to tell him, wouldn't you? Oh, sure. Sure. I wouldn't want you to think that I... You know. Of course. You... You have a little cold, haven't you? Huh? Oh, yeah. My eyes, they've been running something awful. I thought everything would be okay when they sprung out of jail and you're wasting ever. Let a couple of nights without some shut eye and you'll be all right. Oh, quit worrying. I'm okay. Okay for what? Listen, champ, if it's the kids you're worrying about, well, why don't I write the linden and tell it to bring them down? Nick, now you keep out of this. That kid's in a good spot and he's going to stay there. Don't worry, Sponge. I'm not just nervous. As soon as I get some sleep, I'll be fine. All I need is just a couple of hours, that's all. Okay. Well, for... What was that? I don't know. I... I could have swore. Hello, champ? Why, dink? I thought I'd come and see how you was. Why, dink or dink? Oh, gee, champ. Go on. Get outside, Sponge. Yeah, sure. Gee, dink, but I'm... I'm awfully glad to see you. Me, too. I... I got a little cold. Yeah, so did I. Say, you look swell. That suit ain't got much life to it, but it... it ain't bad.  Yeah, he'll wear off, though. What happened to your hand? Oh, nothing. Just scratched it. Wait a minute. How did you get back here? I ran away, champ. I didn't like it up there. I mean, it was okay, but William was right about the washing business three times a day all over. Oh, gee, I... I'm sorry, dink. That's all right, but I'm gonna stay here now, champ. I gotta. Okay. Dink, you know what? I ain't had it been since I got out of jail, and I've been off the dice, too. Gee, that's great. And start tomorrow, I'm going into training. Yeah? I'm going to see them promoters in the morning. I'll make them get me a fight. I'll show them here. Look at the footwork, dinker.  You betcha, here. Feel that muscle. Boy, it's like iron. Steel? See any reason why I shouldn't make a comeback? No. I'll do it. I'll send you to school. I'll get you a lot of nice clothes in this for manicures. Say, I'll have a girl following us around just to do nothing but to take care of your fingernails. Couldn't we get a man to do that? Sure. Watch out, dink. I'm going to do some sparring. Oh, boy. Give it to him, champ. The old one-two. One-two. One-two. Yeah, that boy, champ. Oh, that's what'll happen to the next guy I'm up against. Hey, champ, you busted the wash bowl. That's all right, forget it. After my next fight, we're going to wash in a sink. None of that there three times a day stuff, either. Oh, boy, am I glad I come back. Come on, give it something, Andy. Snap into it, will you? It was a three-legged elephant. You couldn't be no slower than that. Oh, lay off of me, will you? He'll be okay, Sponge. He'd be great if the girls got tearful. But this is a fight he's going into. Oh, fight down. Why don't you take a sock, any, champ? Oh, he ain't worth the trouble. You mean you ain't got the strength. All right, that's enough.  I'll be okay. Wait till I get going. I'll kill that guy. Get going now, up to the room. We've got more to do this afternoon. Okay. See you later. How's he look? Oh, hello, Whitey. He was watching, wasn't he? Yep. Then you ought to know. Don't bet any throw on him. I figured that. He's all shot, Whitey. Just staying in him anymore. Wind's all gone, huh? Not enough left to play a harmonica with. The Mexican will make Goulash out of him. Then he's sorry. Hey, where'd you come from? I thought you beat it, Dink. I'll tell the champ what you said. Nick, you don't want to do that. Well, don't say things like that about him. He's going to come back. He's going to look the stuppings of that peluca. Yeah, yeah, sure he is, Dink. Sure he is.  Yeah, I want to ask you a couple of more things. I've been talking to some of the boys down around the place. Dink, hey, Dink, wait up. Hey, hang on, Jordan. I've got to see the champ. Listen, Dink, this is important. What? Just heard something. It's all against us, Dink. Those gambling fellas are laying six to one. The champ don't last three rounds. Six to one? Oh, they're crazy. That's what they're betting.  He's in great shape. Maybe so, but they don't lose them gambling fellas, and they all say he's going to get licked bad.  Go on, beat it. Okay, Dink, just thought I'd tell you. Six to one, he ain't got a chance. A champ ain't got a chance. Workout, huh? Yeah. Tired champ? No. Well, it's enough to do, but I'm doing it. Champ, I want to talk to you about that. About what? About this here fight racket. I don't like it. How come? I thought you was all for it. Well, I've been thinking it over.  Yeah?  I thought you didn't like me drinking. I was wrong. Now that you quit gambling, I don't get a chance to spit in your dice anymore. Huh? I've got practically nothing to spit on these days. Yeah, but look how I used to lose all my dough. We're much better off since I quit. I don't know. We used to have a lot of fun. Now you're training most of the time. We don't get to see so much of each other as we used to. It's all on account of this fight. Say, what are you talking about? You was world's champion once. Everybody knows that. We care about you being champ again.  If I win, then I'm going to win. It'll get me 10 grand. Who cares about that? I do.  We're going to travel. I don't have to go to school. You didn't go, did you? No, and that's why you're gone. Say, you're not trying to get me to throw the fight, are you? No, champ. Okay, then. I'm going to fight, see.   Sure. Sure, champ. We're on next, champ. All right. If this doctor ever gets through with me, what do you say, doc? I'm okay, ain't I? Just a minute, Andy. I want to listen to that heart again if you don't mind. Oh, cut it out. There ain't nothing wrong with me. Well, I never felt better in all my life. What do you say, doc? Okay. Uh, I guess so. There you are. I told you so. You're in pretty fair shape, Andy, but don't go at it too hard. You've got to be a little careful. The old heart isn't any too strong. Oh, what do you mean? Well, it's pumping pretty hard. Oh, boy. It always does that just before a fight. When I won the championship, it was doing nip-up. May I come in? Hello, Dr. Carlton. Hello, Andy. Where'd you come? Back, Andy. All right. Come in, Linda. Oh, what's it all about? You want to take Dink away again, huh? No. We can't do the impossible. We're not going to try anymore. Well, Linda, that's... now that's good sense. You're going to see a fight tonight. I'm taking care of that kid from now on. Andy, I'm betting $5,000 on Jiruga. What? That's great. A real power. You don't understand. We're betting that money for you, Andy. Oh, I don't get this. What do you mean for me? Look, Andy, when we came down here, we heard that all the odds are pretty much against you. They say you can't stand another fight. Oh, they're crazy. Maybe they are. Anyway, we don't want you to run any risks. If you find the fight isn't going right, don't worry. You'll have the money for Dink anyway. Yeah. Now, you listen, Linda. I've got a chance tonight. The chance of my life to make good with that kid and I'm going to do it. Dink's going to be watching. See, and when it's over, he's going to be proud of me. And everything's going to be OK. I hope so, Andy. Good luck. Same here, Andy. OK, champ. Here we go. Wait for an open. And when you get it, keep right after him. OK, Sponge. Leave it to me. Hiya, Dinkus. You're going to see some fighting tonight, kid. Sure. How do you feel? Oh, I feel great. Your bug's OK? Sure. Here. Spit on him for luck. Sure. I can't lose now, Dinkus. Go on.  He's hitting me here in the heart. Can you go back there, champ? Are you sure? I'll toss the towel in now if you give me the word. No, no. I got to finish. I got to. Let me fight, Sponge. Let me fight. OK, champ. Go ahead. How is he, Doc? Any chance? Not one in a million. There's nothing I can do. Come here, Dink. I want to speak to you. Your mother's here. Did you know that? No. Yes. She came down to get you. This time, I think that you ought to stay with her, Dink. Why, champ? Why can't I stay with you? Because, Dink, they ain't no use getting their say. You see, I ain't staying around long. Understand? I'll teach you. Oh, come on. Come on. That ain't no way to act. Listen.  See? And you ought to call her that. No more of this limbless stuff. Or me, Dink. OK, champ. Remember, keep your chin up. Keep everything's going to be all right. Come on. Give me a smile. Libby Collins, our fashion reporter. Cindy B, what's the sigh here about patches being popular? They couldn't be smarter, Mr. Ruegg. Every little bit of fabric is precious these days. And we're saving every inch. Wearing patches on our elbows, a patchwork jacket, and turbans made out of odds and ends of fabric stitched together. Yes, we're saving fabric and having a lot of fun doing it. Well, when it comes to saving fabrics, Libby... We can count on new, quick-lux flakes to help us. Well, that's right, because saving fabric means not only using every scrap of material, but keeping the things we own bright and new-looking and wearable longer. And that's a job that lux flakes does superbly well for all your washables, because it's so gentle, safe for anything, safe in plain water. You see, there's no harmful alkali in lux to injure fabrics or fade colors. And, of course, with lux, there's none of the cake soap rubbing that's so hard on fabrics either. You know, it costs less than a penny to lux address. So you're saving money, too. Get the thrifty big box of lux flakes first thing tomorrow. Use it for all your washables, dresses, blouses, and sweaters. And see for yourself how much it helps you save. Now, here's Mr. DeMille with our stars. For many years, audiences have come to expect fine performances from Wallace Berry. And for somewhat fewer years from Josephine Hutchinson. And they've never been disappointed. Oh, thank you, CB. It seems only yesterday that you and I were making a picture together, don't it? Funny, I don't remember the picture, Wally. Well, it was just a few years back, Josephine. Let me see. Well, let's see. Nobody talked in the picture, CB. Must have been more than, oh, 10 years ago. Yes. Yes, that's right. We used a camera with a hand crank. That moves it back some more. Just a minute. Now think carefully, Wally. Did Mr. DeMille wear a cap turned round backwards? Well, yes, I guess he did. Oh, wait, wait. I'm not that old. We may as well face the facts, Wally. It was 25 years ago that we made that picture. You were quite a romantic leading man at the time. Yeah. Our times have changed, sir. Well, anyway, Wally, we all appreciate you giving up that fine fishing at your ranch to come down here and go back to work. We always have a great time here, Josephine. You know, while I was coming down through the mountains, I noticed that everything up there is pretty dry. There's a big danger of forest fires this year. I believe the United States Forest Service says that this is the most menacing fire season in American history, Wally, particularly in the West. So it's up to all of us who visit our national forests or any forest, or even in our own backyards to be very, very careful about smoking and the use of matches in wooded and brush areas. That seems to be pretty sound advice, Mr. DeMille. What's your play next week? I'll play the teamed two great stars on the screen. The RKO Dramatic Success Love Affair. We'll have those same two stars next Monday night. So that means you'll hear Irene Dunn and Charles Boyer. Love Affair is one of the finest stories the screen has ever given us, and I don't need to tell you, I'm delighted with Charles Boyer and Irene Dunn. Well, you couldn't have anything I'd like better than that, CB. Good night. Good night. Good night. A champ at a champion performance. And now, ladies and gentlemen, an announcement that I'm happy to make because it concerns an old friend of yours and mine, one of the theatre's most beloved comedians, Miss Edna May Oliver. On stage and screen, she's brought us laughter and gaiety for many years. We'll be back in a new series of comedy programs on the air. Miss Oliver's new program begins next Sunday night. Your local paper will give you the time and station. Our sponsors, the makers of Lux Flakes, join me in inviting you to be with us again next Monday night when the Lux Radio Theatre presents Irene Dunn and Charles Boyer in Love Affair. This is Cecil B. DeMille saying good night to you from Hollywood. Do you know that only two pounds of waste kitchen fats contain enough glycerin to fire five anti-tank shells?  Don't throw away a single drop. Strain your bacon fat, used fats, meat drippings into a clean, wide-mouthed can. Keep them on hand because your local salvage committee will soon announce plans for its collection. Save waste kitchen fats now to make explosives. Heard in tonight's play were Charles Cecil as Spuns, Phil Hurlick as Jonah, and Leo Cleary, Stanley Farrar, Jack Mather, Griff Barnett, Fred Mackay, Howard McNear, Jose Perez, Gwen Delano, Edward Marr, and Arthur Q. Bryan. Tune in next Monday night to hear Charles Boyer and Irene Dunn in Love Affair. Our music was directed by Louis Silvers, and your announcer has been Melville Rui.


The study uses Landsat Archive and other data to estimate burn probability in forested ecosystems of Saskatchewan, Canada by analyzing the interactions between contributing factors such as forest structure, disturbance history, and land cover. The results show that forests composed of coniferous species with shorter trees, low canopy height variability, open stand structure, and low timber volumes have higher burn probabilities. A 2015 burn probability map indicates that forests that burned in 2015 had a median predicted burn, probability of 81%, while the median burn probability for unburned forest area was 19%. The study demonstrates the potential to generate detailed and spatially explicit burn probability maps from time series remote, sensing data to inform wildland fire risk modeling, management, and mitigation. This article was authored by Chen Xiong, Michael A. Wooder, Nicholas C. Coops, and others.


I thought I was losing my mind yesterday I got some new headphones like Airpod sort of things and They're paired to my phone and I also paired them to my iMac where I edit stuff and I was listening to the I was proofing the next episode of face and if I pause something with the headphones and then resume it With it a short amount of time it just continues what I was doing But I guess if I've used my phone too much in between or enough time has passed mm-hmm For some reason it just decides I've given up on this connection to the phone I'm now on the Mac and what it was doing and this is what I thought I was losing my mind on my Mac if you open like the music app, I guess it's the what iTunes became I Never used the app but what I had on there was a ringtone. I just made And it was just like a little clip from my pinball machine I just turned turned into my ringtone But to do that I had to like put it through that music app and all that stuff and then the next file down Was some lines I had Dan record for some slow-mo video where I was having him pretend to be a robot And I guess when I tried to resume my my phone playback of face It decided hey, I'm controlling the iMac now and it started playing my ringtone. So I was like, oh I get a call so I double tap the side of the Airpods to answer the call but when no one's actually calling you it just skips track So it's skipped to the next track, which was Dan going. Hey B. And I was like Hey B. And because he was doing like because he was doing multiple takes He just kept saying it different like intonations. So he was like hey B. And I was like Hey B. And he was like a B. And I was like Hey B And I'm just there in my freaking kitchen Talking to audio files that are playing on my Mac in a different room It took me it took me about 45 seconds to realize I wasn't actually on the phone with Dan It was like such a weird Series of events and I was like, oh my god. I'm like 60 years old again His technology is running circles around me.  Uh, it's really all we could ask from you Also, don't scrump, please I'm scrumping


Everything about how things in life operate kind of like the gears in a big machine, right? The the the gears affect one another and one is doing something it affects something else and the butterfly effect It's kind of the same thing right a butterfly flaps its wings in Taiwan and you end up with a hurricane in Haiti right across the world And everything is sort of being interconnected in some way the same thing is true inside of us in many ways and in Our minds and with ourself and and so I want to talk a little bit in this video about the self-fulfilling Prophecy the idea of a self-fulfilling prophecy and And what we do in one area affects something else in effects, you know has a ripple effect in some ways That's what the self-fulfilling prophecy says. So let's take a look at it. What do we mean? First of all, what's a self-fulfilling prophecy? Let's start there So the self-fulfilling prophecy starts with an attitude We have different attitudes about things and feelings about things and expectations So our attitude then though will affect in many ways our behavior Right our attitude leads to a particular behavior if we have a good attitude about something It's going to cause us to act one way if we have a bad attitude about it. It's going to affect cause us to Behave in a different way right so our attitude affects our behavior and then our behaviors then again That's kind of domino effect to the butterfly effect our behavior then It can impact the outcome of a situation right so our attitude affects the way that we behave in a particular situation And then that that behavior will affect in some ways the outcome potentially, right? Let's so let's talk about what we mean first of all Let's set the stage. Let's say you get invited to a party. Yeah, you get invited to a party, right?  Should I not go to this party? I want to go to this party But you know when I go to go to parties at this place when they have a party They always have Diet Pepsi to drink and I hate diet Pepsi and it's always country music from start to finish Oh my gosh, it's all country music and diet Pepsi And I guess I'll go but but this party's never gonna be very good Because it's all gonna be diet peps in country music and it's gonna be terrible party. So whatever I'll go anyway I have to go I guess so so you go and you end up that guy on the couch or that person on the couch He just looks like they're having a miserable time They're snacking on stuff and and of course they get there It's all diet peps in country music. So you're having a miserable time and and then afterwards you say to your friend I told you that I was gonna be miserable this whole time because of the diet peps in country music I didn't want to go anyway. I'm shouldn't have gone. It shouldn't gone Should have known better but in what way I mean who wants to be at that party and talk to the person who's sitting on the couch Let's be miserable, right? So no wonder nobody came up and talked to you your attitude I factored your behavior which in turn had some impact at least on the outcome in that situation, right? people avoided you because you were the miserable and Doofus on the couch, right? So All because of that so But you know next time you think about it again You think it over and you think there's diet peps in this country music, but you know I can live with that I really want to go see my friends and so your attitude is different this time you're going on So you you think it's gonna be a lot of fun this time.   Let's have a good time anyway, right? Your attitude that affects your behavior which can then affect your outcome It's kind of a silly example, but but let's let's look at another one here Let's let's think about a job interview You find out you get a job interview and you go to a friend and you say You say to your friend. I have an interview at this at the place where you work It's for this job. What do you think and they say? I don't know It's you're not really that qualified and they've got somebody in-house. They're really looking out for that You know good luck, but I don't it's probably don't get your hopes up It's probably not gonna work out so when you go to the interview You're like oh, this is gonna not be very good So you don't bother putting a lot of effort into it And you know you kind of your attitude then your negative attitude affects your behavior going into it and And that in turn could affect the outcome right if people you know when you're interviewing Nobody's gonna want to hire somebody who doesn't look like they want to or it looks like they don't want to be there And doesn't look like they're interested in the job and so forth because you've already decided you're not gonna get it As opposed to you know your friend says oh, yeah, that'll be great You'll be great for that job or or you and your own mind decide this is this is the job I'm gonna be good at I'm gonna my attitude is gonna be good for this And you you pump yourself up and you go in you have energy and you have a right answers And you you're excited about the position and things and then then you may have a better chance of the job Not it doesn't guarantee your job. I'm not saying it's gonna manifest itself But but you're putting yourself in a better position right for a different outcome your attitude affects your behavior Which in turn affects potentially the outcome in that situation? And that's in essence a self-fulfilling prophecy. That's that's really what we're talking about There are really two types of self-fulfilling prophecies one is self-imposed It's one that we kind of create in our own minds and you know We do this all the time We let our mind run away with this in one direction or the other positively or negatively through that self-talk Self-talk really is a determining factor in the self-fulfilling prophecy So we have these self-imposed ones that where just by ourselves We developed a particular attitude about something and then that affects our behavior and potentially the outcome We can do that all on our own positively or negatively right we can get in this negative kind of self-talk spiral That just brings us down and affects our behavior in that way or we can you know Be conscientious of of having positive self-talk and building our self up and and and having a positive self-imposed Self-fulfilling prophecy as well the other type of self-fulfilling prophecy is one that's imposed kind of by others and meaning that that Somebody like it like when you went to your friend and they gave you that input about I don't think that's gonna go very well for you Or yeah, that's gonna be great That can plant a seed in our mind that begins that self-fulfilling prophecy as well It can come from from outside of us and come from others Really the key is kind of breaking the cycle with that that self-talk It's recognizing that we control our self-talk again It's not that we can manifest these things positively all the time but we can put ourselves in a better position much of the time by breaking the cycle of negative self-talk and engaging in positive reinforcement and visualization and really driving our self-talk in that kind of positive way if you have any questions about about Self-fulfilling prophecies or anything else related to the self. Please feel free to email me I'd love to chat with you via email and and discuss anything related to the cell for communication further in the meantime I hope that you will be conscientious of your self-talk and the way that it impacts Our self-fulfilling I can impact the self-fulfilling prophecy for better or for worse


In today's video, we are going to talk about environmental enrichment for indoor cats. Recommendations to cat owners to house their cats indoors can further responsibility to provide conditions that ensure good health and welfare. Cats maintain their natural behaviors, such as scratching, chewing, and elimination, while living indoors. While cats can find to an indoor environment generally live longer and are at less risk for contracting infectious diseases or injuries due to trauma, they are at greater risk for a variety of behavioral problems. These problems include urinating and defecating outside the litter box, anxiety, eating disorders, attention seeking, aggression, self-entery and compulsive disorders like excessive grooming and scratching. Providing an enriched environment can increase activity, decrease mental stagnation, and prevent many of these issues. All cats need mental stimulation, but this is especially important for indoor cats. An enriched environment will give cats the opportunity to create their own positive experiences in an enclosed space. The goal is to create an environment of plenty for your cat. That means plenty of room, litter boxes, food, water and things to do. Before we dig into how to enrich your indoor cat's life, it's important to understand why you should keep them inside. They can catch a contagious disease. Wild animals can carry serious diseases, which they can transmit to your cat. Some of these diseases can be deadly. For instance, rabies is nearly always fatal once the symptoms start to show. They might get injured. Cats can get hurt in all sorts of ways outside. They can get hit by a car, fall into a ditch, or get attacked by a larger animal. They might lose their way home, cats who wander far from home may have trouble finding their way back, especially if the weather turns bad. And they might involve you in a neighborhood squabble. Outdoor cats will likely venture into other yards and gardens. This can upset your neighbors who may not like unfamiliar cats using their garden as a litter box or stirring up the pets they have inside. Make feeding more natural. Use food puzzles, interactive toys or food balls. You can purchase these items at any pet supply store or make them yourself. To create homemade puzzles from a cardboard box or a plastic bottle, simply cut small holes into the object and fill it with your cat's favorite food or treats. You can also hide food in different places around the house so your cats can hunt for their food. Place the food in corners, on shelves or behind furniture. Divide meals into three or four small servings and alternate hiding them, or you can try placing a treat in a new area each day. Start by hiding the treat in the same spot each day. After a few days of this, try to hide the treat near the original location but not exactly in the same place. Once the cat has gotten used to hunting for the treat, you can move on to more remote areas. This should be done daily so your cat gets used to the routine of searching and reward. If days go by with no reward, your cat will stop looking. Boxes, bags and carriers that are left out provide nice hiding places for cats. Provide vertical space. Cats like to be up high. Providing access to elevated places makes cats happy and increases the overall space available to them. Provide your cat with a carpeted tree or condo, preferably with hiding spots, cat perches and shelves. Single perches with room for only one cat at a time are a good way to help your cat escape from any other household animals.  Regularly move beds and perches. This mimics a changing outdoor environment and encourages cats to explore. Keep in mind that your cat may have become sedentary and need encouragement to climb. Try feeding treats or a portion of their meal on the kitty tree to get your cat used to this behavior. Scratching is normal cat behavior. Scratching comes naturally to your cat. Make sure to provide acceptable scratching materials for your cat, such as a carpeted post or cardboard plank. To train your cat to use these items, reward with treats and praise each time they are scratching appropriately. You can also place catnip, treats and toys on or near the post to encourage this behavior. Scratching posts should be sturdy and made of materials cats prefer, like wood, sisal rope, rough fabric or cardboard. Put the scratching post next to a window, sleeping area or any other place your cat favors. Many cats prefer vertical scratching posts, but some prefer horizontal ones. If your cat does not seem interested in one type of post or material, try another until you find the right fit. Hello. This video is sponsored by Beemix Pets.

Cats will get bored with a toy after a while, so it is important to provide only a few toys at a time on a rotating basis to keep your cat's interest. Social activities with humans can be the single most effective way to enrich your indoor cat's environment. Set a timer for five minutes twice daily and play with your cat. Rotate the toys and activities you choose during these periods. A variety of resources are available for interactive feline toys, games and furniture. A recent study revealed that the number one favorite toy for cats was a used hair band tied to a string and pulled across the floor. Number two was a cat kong. Think inside the box. Make the litter box attractive. Some cats are big and need a large box. A large plastic storage box, used to store items under the bed may make a better litter box if your cat barely fits in the litter box that you have. Most cats, though not all prefer unscented, clumping litter. You can experiment by offering a choice of litters inside by side boxes for a week to see what your cat prefers. Think of a hooded litter box like a porta potty. That is how many kitties seem to think of them when they choose not to use them. Litter boxes should be kept clean. That means scooping twice a day, cleaning and changing litter weekly and buying a whole new box yearly. If you are using a hooded box, do not forget to clean the underside of the hood. If your cat is choosing not to use the litter box consistently, there may be too much noise or activity where the box is located. For example, many pet owners use the laundry room without realizing that noises from the washer or dryer may frighten or stress the cat while they are using the litter box. If your cat is constantly eliminating in the same spot, a box should temporarily be placed in that location. When the cat is back in the box consistently, it can be moved a small distance at a time to a more convenient location for the household. Remember, there should always be at least one litter box per cat in the house. These litter boxes should be in different locations. If your cat is not using the litter box consistently, there should be an extra box available as well. Minimize stress. Most of us do not look at our cats and think they are stressed. However, if your cat is not urinating where they should be or has other behavioral issues without an identifiable medical cause, then chances are they are being stressed by something. Many cats just like routine. Feeding them and playing with them at the same time every day may be all they need. If the stressor can be identified quickly, the prognosis for changing the behavior is great. As time goes on and habits are formed, behaviors become increasingly difficult to change, but do not give up. Prevention and management of many common behavior problems in indoor cats requires identifying and changing the stressors in their environment, providing ways to stimulate indoor exploration and providing opportunities for mental, physical and social stimulation. In addition to enriching your cat's environment, you can help keep their motors running by making sure they have a place where they can rest quietly, a litter box where they can go in peace, a nutritious diet, and plenty of love and affection. It's also important to take them to a veterinarian regularly, as well as any time you think they might be hurt or sick. Pet insurance can help you provide your cat with the best veterinary care.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on May 30 that the West was stepping up equipment and arms supplies to Kiev ahead of what he said would be a large-scale Ukrainian offensive, and said Moscow would strike any supply routes it detected. Speaking on state television, Shoigu also said Russia was inflicting effective fire damage on the enemy and that the Western weapons would not change the outcome of Moscow's special military operation in Ukraine. He was speaking shortly after Ukraine launched its biggest-ever drone attack on Moscow, although Shoigu's ministry said Russian air defenses had destroyed all eight of the drones. This morning, the Kiev regime carried out a terrorist attack in the Moscow region. On civilian targets, I note, said Shoigu. A Ukrainian presidential aide denied Kiev was directly involved in Tuesday's attack on Moscow but said Ukraine was enjoying watching events and forecast more to come.

Yeah, I mean they're like either they're gonna beat the heat right now looks like Just holding that like 10 point lead Kennedy Chandler We'll see though. They're still 10 minutes left Williams to 2022 road of the finals Desmond Bain when the more I mean, it's honest. It's gonna be followed with smack You just watch and know they've been playing for a few months But before they start playing you kind of just go by draft and go by a pre-draft hype and things like that Yeah, but right now it's Palo then it's like guys like Mathorian Ivy Murray Shade on sharp is a nice kind of kind of like a sleeper guy So Hanna solid Jordan pool Redback for the for the Warriors. Yeah, you know, it was a solid draft I mean Palo's like the star. There's some other guys that could be stars for sure Jabari Smith AJ Griffin. Hello, who'd you have everyone else? I remember a huge gap. I think as of right now. Yeah, Christian Brown rookie Purple Toscano Anderson as of right now. I'd say yeah huge. Yeah. Yeah, that's true.

What has that ever happened? Hypnotize Steph Curry. I'd be surprised if it had happened before if like LeBron hadn't done it or like Who else would have done it like? I don't know the NBA MVP was always so competitive Kennedy Chandler the more junior. I can't think of a three-peat MVP. I just can't do it Kendall Brown, Ricky Purple Yeah, we're just fun Palo base here It's 499 Wiggins Road to the finals Mathorin boy Walker a throwback Lamello ball 10 for MVP.  Okay So it's been a while is what you're saying And if you do that, you're basically a top like 25 player all time Like you're like the best of the best towns to So one 99 T wolves Say those guys are all like top 15 players ever Blake Wesley Palo tribute so Han foil city addition Evan Mobley So crazy though three straight MVP's in the NBA is kind of insane and any any sport is just insane jazz Agbaji Has that ever been there's no way that's been done in baseball like in the past like 50 years. There's no chance, right? Baseball is just too tough. I think I say labor is purple Like there's too many like injuries and like if you're batting average drops like 10 points. It's like, oh, well, the other guys is better If five fewer home runs, that's the difference tie-tie Washington, Jr. Palo, but now I'm now I'm like now I'm like getting deep into the How it's it looks like the longest MVP streak in every major sport I'm so interested now to 2022 anger mode of the finals. All right, that'll do it. Appreciate your break. We'll get those right out to you


All right. Steven, I'm going to steal a little bit of time from your Q&A just to say a word of thanks for the conference. I'd like to thank all of us. I'm Zainab. I'm the co-founder of Hasgeek and the organizer of the Fifth Elephant. I want to take this opportunity to thank a lot of people who have played an important role in putting this conference together. First of all, the Hasgeek crew has been working relentlessly for one and a half months to put this conference together. Conference organizing is very hard. I have been writing about it endlessly on my blog, and I can assure you it's very hard work, but it's very rewarding to hear from participants that they enjoy the conference. They like the food. They like the talks. And we are always open to good feedback and bad feedback. So please do tweet out to us on Hasgeek, on AdRate Hasgeek, AdRate Fifth Elephant. Tell us what you think worked for you, what you think didn't work for you, and what you'd like to see differently next year. Apart from that, I'd like to thank a whole battery of volunteers who have been working endlessly for the last three days. Some of them have not slept all three nights, and they've been trying to do everything to make sure that this conference is a smooth experience for all of you, making sure that registration is working, making sure that video is working, making sure that you have the videos next week, or rather, like, tomorrow morning put online, and doing a whole lot of things that are visible and invisible. I'd like to thank all the volunteers, and would really appreciate if you put a hand together for all of them. And not taking too much time, but just two minutes more, I'd like to obviously thank all our sponsors for making this event possible. But most importantly, I'd like to thank all of you for coming and making this event possible. You are always our biggest sponsors. And you really make this event happen, and we are always very happy to have you, and we are always very happy to hear feedback. Just one last point. I have a very special word of thanks for Shashi Gowda. Can Shashi please come on stage here? Shashi has been instrumental in conceptualizing this conference this year. The way Hasgeek conferences run, including the Fifth Elephant, is we try to ensure that the participants' interests are always foremost for us, and therefore our goal is always to put together a conference which has very good content. We're always struggling to ensure that you get the best talks because that's what you come here for, and obviously you come here to have great conversations. Shashi played the most pivotal role in putting together the theme for this year, considering all the feedback that we got from the last three years. And this year for the first time, we've had some really interesting, good, and bad talks in machine learning on data science. And despite all the difficulties and all the traveling schedules, he's really put, he's really done a great job in getting a great CFP out. And of course, like we've been working both of us relentlessly for like three weeks to try to ensure that, you know, selections are done. We had 87 proposals this time, and it was so hard for us to make a choice. I'd also like to thank Shailesh Kumar who was here this morning, Govind Kanchi, Viral Shah, Gopal, and a bunch of the other editorial panel members from last year who played a very important role in advising us and reviewing our decisions. Obviously, we will make bad decisions. Obviously, we will make wrong decisions. But our goal is always to try and put great content for you. I will be writing a blog post tonight and sharing it with all of you on Monday in terms of what it takes for us to curate talks and how hard it is to get good content. But we are always learning. This is the first time that we've done rehearsals with speakers. Steven excluded. And we're hoping that it pays off and we're very happy to hear feedback from you. One round of applause for Shashi. You can say it at the end. But, okay, thanks, I'm glad it's over. Well, that's a big reveal. I mean, yeah, thanks.


Fantastic finish to the Southwestern Athletic Conference. Jackson State versus Southern. Jackson State is up six to four in the nine, three outs away from going to the dance, but a leadoff single on a full count. That starts the rally. They go to the bullpen. Kid in the pen says, yep, I'm good, ready to go. Let's lock down this victory. Ball one, ball two, ball three, ball four. Uh-oh, that brings the go ahead run to the plate in O'Neill Burgos. And they're fired up. Let's go Burgos. Let's go Burgos. They're fired up. Of course they are, it takes strike one. Next pitch sends it to deep left. Outfielders got a beat on it, tracking it down. Oh my God, the door was loose. He falls in, what's going on? Nobody knows. You know who knows? The guys in the bullpen, because they got the best view. And you can tell by his reaction, he's excited about something. They're cheering. Everyone else, no idea what's going on. Clearly the runner's score, but he's like, should I go to third? Then they try to get him out at third base. He's safe.  It's a home run. We saw the whole thing. It's gone. And they're right. They go to replay. And it's tricky because he didn't even get his glove on it. When you watch it in slow-mo, it goes behind his glove. So you can see it there. And it's past his glove already before he even touches the door that fails him. And then you could see it weave through the bars behind them and into the brick. And now he's through the door. So the door didn't really even come into play, albeit as bad, because you can see it right there weaving through the bars. I'm going backwards now. I'll go slow.  Now it's weaving through those bars back there. You can see the little blur. And now is when he's making contact with the door. It's well past him. So it looked crazy.  The placement was awful, but the ums get together and they say, yeah, that's a home run. And now Southern's going nuts on the sideline. They still got to get the final out, but they're pumped up. Jack Wars, baby, bottom of the inning. They get the final out and the celebration. I mean, it just gave me tons of chills. I love the ball spike there. Perfect dog pile. Feel bad for the people on the bottom of this dog pile.    This guy takes the rosin bag and absolutely spikes it, which adds to the setting, the scene, a little smoke.  Give me chills watching this. Number 30 here, big fist pump. He goes down on one knee, draws something in the dirt, takes it in. These dudes, that's a great hug, screaming at each other. They're going to the tournament, representing the Southwestern Athletic Conference. And I'm excited to follow their story. What a way to enter the dance. Just big hugs all around. I love it.

It's a podcast on our network and they do a great job talking about all these kids that you will eventually know as stud MOE players.


Hey guys shave everyone thousand here today. I'm gonna show you how to clean out one of these tanks In case you want to cut it in half or make a little stove like I'm gonna do Stay tuned. I'll show you the safe way to do that Guys, we've got our tank here All right, this is the newer style valve. So if you open this valve up Nothing's going to come out whether you you know whether there's anything in it or not right in there There's a little like a little check valve that gets pushed in when you put this on your grill So if you want to make sure it's all out hook this up to your grill Or whatever one of those heaters or whatever and turn it on and make sure there's no gas left in here Also once you do that You can turn your valve open Take something and stick in there And push that valve sell that valve pushes down in can you guys see that let me? See that And hold that open you'll smell something. Don't don't be smoking while you're doing this guy, okay, and Then you're pretty good to go For now now what we're going to do is we got to get this valve out of here, okay? So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take it's welded in three places well there on the back right here and Right there now.  I just cut this off. I didn't hit record on the camera. I'm sorry, but I can show you there's those three Three well, you just cut them off. That'll pop right off. Okay Now we got to get this valve out of here. Okay now you can put it in a vise and here's the bottom If you want to hold that but all I'm going to do is I'm going to lay it down And I'm going to tap that around with the hammer. Okay, so I know it's empty But we're still want to take precautions, so be careful when you do this try to stay back away from this thing Just in case right so beat it right here on On that part right there Now if I had a vice I would put This bottom in a vice and I'd put a wrench on there and pull it around now inside here There'll be a valve and then you're gonna be smelling a lot of gas Now you see there's the valve What this does? This is liquid propane tank Okay, so what this valve does? It's kind of like how your fuel gauge works in your vehicle but once the propane gets up the liquid propane Gets up there and it raises this up It actually shuts it off. You can't overfill these things. So now you can also if you want You can save that piece and set this up Like that overnight slick with propane any gases that may be left in there residual gases Will come out don't do this inside of course so If that's you know leave it set overnight if you want Now the next thing but I'm not gonna do that. I know this is empty, but there still could be residual And I don't know if the camera can pick it up, but you can actually see them coming out Okay so But what we're gonna do next is I'm gonna purge it before I wash it, okay But just just for safety's sake I'm gonna leave this set here for about an hour and I'll be back with you Okay, guys, you don't have to do this step, but I'm going to I've done this with gas tanks for cars for motorcycles Lawn mowers you name it what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna start this I'm gonna start up the scooter and I'm gonna let the Exhaust gases from the scooter purge out this tank Because the exhaust gases we know is they're already they've already been burnt. They can't be burnt again So I'm gonna purge this and I'll show you how I'm gonna do that First we're gonna start the scooter and I'm gonna put this tank right underneath that exhaust And I'm gonna let this run for a minute just like this But I'm gonna prop it up So I don't have to hold she immediately start smelling the propane fumes So I'm gonna let that run for a minute And then we'll go on to step two and we're gonna rinse that tank out with soapy water Okay, guys, now I'm gonna take some of this cheap.  It doesn't take a lot Just pour some of that in there just like that Grab your water hose Or however, you want to fill it up and I'm not gonna fill all the way up. I'm only gonna go All about halfway Then I'm gonna swish it around dump it out swish it around Make sure you get all that soapy water coated everywhere that you can Then I'm gonna dump it out on the ground just like that and I'm gonna do this two or three times Okay, so let me keep on doing this Okay, I've done that four times Now I'm just going to let it run out until I hardly see any more soap coming out and if you want you can also Run your exhaust through it again. If you want you don't have to Or you can leave it set upside down again overnight again. You don't have to but I'm gonna go ahead and fill this up And I'm gonna hold the hose here Once it gets full until I don't see any more soap coming out. We'll move on to the next step Okay, now that I've got it all rinsed out I'm gonna prove to you. There's no gas left in here. There's no water in this thing Take my torch Now if the torch ain't gonna light that up a few sparks is not gonna light it up But if you feel safer when you're cutting this if you've got a pneumatic cutoff wheel Don't use something electric like I've got You can fill this up with water Do your cutting wherever you want to cut it at if you feel safer But like I said right there that's clean if that torch ain't gonna light that up. Nothing is so that's how you clean your Propane tank if you want to cut one in half. All right guys, so there you go.   That's not electric Like I said, I'll I've got I don't have a cutoff wheel for my pneumatic Cutoff thing whatever you want to call it But I do have my four inch grinder, so I'm not gonna fill it up with water But if you feel comfortable doing that by all means do it now stay tuned for part two where I'm gonna cut a hole out in this thing and We're gonna make a little a little stove out of it Now the reason why I'm gonna make a little stove. I know tank camping down here It doesn't really get all that cold. That's usually what guys make these for but we have a lot of hurricanes So if the electric goes out, I'll have something to cook on So stay tuned for part two where we're gonna start building this little stove Thanks for watching. Remember stay safe guys. Shea Bear 1000 met the man alleged. I'm gone for now. Bye. Bye guys. Take care
