Oh waiter. Yes, sir. I'll have a chopped sirloin steak, cottage-fried potatoes, asparagus with butter sauce, and a bottle of cold, perhaps blue ribbon. Yes, sir. Finest beer served. Anywhere. From Hollywood, perhaps blue ribbon. Finest beer served. Anywhere. Proudly presented. Screen Directors Playhouse, Production, Pride of the Yankees, Director Sam Wood, Star Gary Cooper, The Hollywood Screen Directors present the life of baseball's beloved Lou Gehrig. The motion picture story Pride of the Yankees starring Gary Cooper. The story of America is written in many places, in factories and offices and farms, and on the field of sport. One magnificent chapter was written on the baseball diamond, and its hero was the fellow they called the Iron Man. This is his story, starring Gary Cooper in his original role of Lou Gehrig, the Pride of the Yankees. That was the sound he loved. The clean, sweet crack of a bat saying howdy to the horse-hide cover of a baseball. The first time I ever heard that sound in connection with him was in the office of the athletic director at Columbia University. It came from a long way off, and was immediately followed by another sound much closer by. Holy smoke. A fly all the way in from Southfield. Who hit it, Coach? As the boy I've been telling you about, Blake. Lou Gehrig. My number one halfback on next year's football team. Football? For a kid who can hit a baseball this far, he's for the big leagues. Ah, Blake, lay off. No pro baseball for Gehrig. He's studying to be an engineer. Besides, I'm saving him for football. Oh, sure, sure, Coach. But you don't mind, just as a favor to the working press, you don't mind if I introduce the boy to Miller Huggins' manager of the New York Yankees, do you? He was another Babe Ruth. I knew it. I not only introduced him to Miller Huggins, I got him signed with a Yankees. I was with him that day in Chicago when he played in his first Major League game.  Hey, you, Gehrig. Oh, me? You mean me? Yes, you. Come on, on the double. Yes, sir. Right up, Mr. Huggins. Hey, look out, watch those bats. I'm sorry, Mr. Huggins, I kind of slipped. All right, get in there on first base, Gehrig. Wait a minute. You all right? Yes, sir. So, don't take me out, Mr. Huggins. I've been waiting too long to get in. Okay, and watch where you're going. Yes, sir. Looks like you kind of started something, Mr. Twitchell. So, it seems, Mr. Blake, it's dreadful, isn't it? I seem to have tied a label under that rookie of yours. So, as she says to me, I'm... Some training table, Mr. Blake. Yeah, this is the RAS killer. You don't get things always come here after a game in Chicago. Good eats. And I'm hungry. Lou, oh boy, you did all right in there this afternoon. Kind of stumbled right in the thing, so to speak. Yeah, the fans will just remember you all the better. But that name, Tanglefoot, and that girl you were sitting with started it. That's Eleanor Twitchell. You see a lot of her, Lou. As a matter of fact, there she is now in the fire. Hi there, Mr. Twitchell. Hello, Ellie. Ah, the Yankees. I hear you got a rough game today, boys. Ah, we were jinxed. I'll never happen again. How about that Tanglefoot fellow, your new first baseman? Are there any more at home like him? Now, there's a girl that's writing for a fall, Mr. Blake. I don't think she saw you, Lou. I wouldn't say anything. Here she comes. Yeah, so she does. What are you up to? Well, hello, Mr. Blake. No, no, don't. Woo! Lady must have tripped. Why you? Tanglefoot? Ah, Mrs. Twitchell. Mr. Garrick. Okay, I guess we're all even. Well, Mr. Twitchell, and if we're now all even, maybe you'll sit down with me. Thank you. I like the way you stand up to a ball, Mr. Garrick. A lot of power there. You hear that, Blake? The lady knows the ball player when she sees one. Ah, yes, Mrs. Twitchell. He stands up at the bat real fine. Yes, he does. And he falls down on the bat. Pretty good, too.  Well, bye-bye, Chicago. Until the next time, Lou. Look, Mr. Blake, you know all about women. Oh, sure, sure. What does it mean when a girl says you're a reminder of a newfoundland puppy? Well, if it were an airdale or a police dog, that'd be fatal. But a newfoundland puppy, I'd see her again if I will. You see, Mrs. Twitchell, Mr. Blake told me I should be sure and see you again when I was in Chicago. Oh, but, Mr. Garrick, that was the last time. And the time before that. Hey, do you realize that this is my last night in Chicago this season and that this is goodbye? Six more cities to go before the World Series. Six more goodbyes. Six more what? Well, you play in seven cities when you're on the road.  What's Miss Boston's name? I never said I had a girl in Boston. Have you? How about Philadelphia, St. Louis, Detroit, Cleveland, Washington, New York? You forgot Chicago. Chicago? Yes. Who? Well, aren't you my girl? Why, Mr. Garrick, whatever gave you that idea. Well, I've seen you every trip out here and this time four days in a row.  Isn't that what best girls do? Yes, it is. Sure. Well, why don't you write me all about it from St. Louis when you're finished this season? The series wound up in St. Louis that year. The Yankees needed only one more game to clinch the world's championship. And I'll never forget the day of that last game. Yes, sir, this is the World Series that'll go down in history. Babe Ruth and Lou Garrick have each had a home run for a little boy bedridden in a St. Louis hospital. But here in the press box, I've just been informed that Garrick has promised two homers for that kid in the hospital. And here we are in the eighth inning and Garrick is at bat again. Will he do it? Here comes the pitch. And it's wide. Looks like they're going to pass him. Here comes the next pitch. And it's another wide one. Come on, pitch to me. Two men on base, two out. And it looks like they're going to walk Garrick his last time at bat in this World Series. Come on, give me one I can reach. It's three balls. Garrick waiting for the next pitch. And here it comes. It's way wide. But Garrick is reaching for it desperately. And there it goes. It's going, going. And he does it. Garrick's second homer scoring three runs and clinching this World Series. Oh, you did it.  Thanks, Blake. I was lucky. Oh, here, Porter, I'll take it. Open it for me, Blake. Sure. It's from Chicago. What's it say? It just says love and it's unsigned. Out of my way, Blake. I am not going with you. Now, Lowe, come back here. Where are you going? To Chicago to see if a girl named unsigned has a home for a new Fallon puppy. Screen directors play out production of Pride of the Angles starring Gary Cooper. You are at Phoenix, Arizona. The big constellation taxis up to the airport. You, tired and bored from your long flight, walk down the steps from your plane into the dry desert air. So this is Arizona. The blazing sunshine feels mighty good and mighty hot. Perhaps while you're waiting for your baggage, you can find a cold bottle of, ah, there you are. That little blue sign in the window. Papst Blue Ribbon, finest beer served anywhere. Yes, during these late September days, you're just one of millions of men all over America to whom that Papst Blue Ribbon sign means welcome relief. Or Papst Blue Ribbon does something more than quench your thirst. It gives you taste. Blue Ribbon taste. The kind of taste you can't get anywhere else in the world, except in that Papst Blue Ribbon bottle. And fortunately, you can get that Papst Blue Ribbon bottle all over the world. Yes, you hear it everywhere in Phoenix and Philadelphia and Fresno and Fort Lauderdale. Papst Blue Ribbon, finest beer served anywhere. Your taste will tell you why. Now back to the screen directors playhouse production of Pride of the Angles starring Gary Cooper with Marine Tuttle as Ellie and Frank Lovejoy as Blake. There are two firsts now in Blue Garrett's life, baseball and his new wife, Eleanor. And for the life of me, I couldn't figure out which one came first. I was best man of the wedding, and now some years later, here I was still ringing their apartment bill. Oh, hello, Blake. Come in. Happy anniversary. Here for the bride. Thanks, Blake. At least you remembered. Oh, where's Lou? I was hoping he was with you. With me? Did he say that... Oh, now look, Ellie, I bet you this is the first time he's been late since he was married. This is the fourth time, Blake, and I know where he is. Oh, now don't talk like that, Ellie. Lou is true blue. Where are you going? I'm going to get it. Oh, you can't do that. I can. Oh, I can't believe it. Almost destroys my faith in human nature. Lou Garrett would... Hi, Ellie. Hi, Blake. Lou, I know where you've been. Now, wait a minute, Ellie. At least give them a chance to explain. What do you mean, explain? Ellie just wants to know what the score was. I want the truth, Lou. 23 to 22, so help me. Score, what are you two talking about? Sandlot baseball. I've been umpiring a kid's game on a vacant lot. I told you I knew where he was in my place. Why, you don't talk to me, you bourgeois.  Gotta keep my hand in. I'm a baseball player. Yep, Blake was right. You still stand up at the back real fine, Mr. Garrett. Gosh. When you said that, the Chicago Raths getter where we met jumped right up in my lap. You've won a lot of records since then, Lou. Most valuable player in the American League. And the record I like best is that I haven't missed a game since I started playing for the Yankees. I know. Not even for a honeymoon. What's wrong with a honeymoon in the Yankee Stadium? Nothing, darling. Nothing. I loved every minute of it. You remember when the photographers took our picture after the wedding? After the game with me. One more kissing the bride, huh, Mr. Garrett? Like this? Hold it. Now how about another one, the bride kissing the groom? Oh, please, Mr. Garrett. Girl's got to breathe.  Now what are you doing? Put your elbow on the table. Now, now try and push my hand back on the table. I'll do it this time. Come on. Say you're my tangle foot. Say it. I'm your tangle foot. I'm your tangle foot. Yeah, that's better. I'll win it. But I'll win someday, fair and square, and make you say it. Those were wonderful years for Lou Gehrig and wonderful years for baseball. A lot of changes had taken place on the Yankee team since Lou first signed with him. Miller Huggins was dead now, and Joe McCarthy was manager of the New York Club. Babe Ruth left the Yankees, and Lou Gehrig was captain of the team. But I was still with him the day he played his 2,000th consecutive game. Come on there, Iron Man. Want to be late for the game? Come in a minute, Blake. There's no hurry. No hurry, he says. On your 2,000th game? I wouldn't be surprised if the fans chipped in and bought you an automobile. Maybe they'll give me a yacht. Sure, an automobile and a yacht and a Statue of Liberty. I think I better go, Ellie. I'll go on, but I'm warning you. All you'll get is a horseshoe of roses. Oh, I don't be so cynical, Ellie. With good luck, Lou Gehrig on a ribbon. This 2,000th game today, I have the great pleasure of presenting to Lou Gehrig as a token of our greatest team, this beautiful horseshoe of roses. Good luck, Lou Gehrig. Hiya, Tanglefoot. Oh, no. A horseshoe of roses. Suitably inscribed. Oh, darling, come in. You look so funny with that horseshoe of roses around your neck.  I stuck out three times. Oh, if they only realized what was back of those 2,000 games they'd have given you the Yankee Stadium. Here's what to do with their old roses, Pat. Hey, look out. Pat's right back at you for having blue eyes. And this is for the time in Chicago you got beaned and went right on flame. And this is for being the best fan a man ever had. And that's for when you played 12 innings in St. Louis with a broken toe. Hey, hey, don't, don't. I'll indian wrestle you. Give me your hand. All right, come on. I'll see your tangle foot. Say it. Okay, I'm a tangle foot. I won! I made you say it fair and square I won. Now, don't pretend you let me. Oh, hey, my shoulder. Lou, what's wrong? I don't know. I must have sprained it. Does it hurt bad? Kind of like it's paralyzed. I felt sort of stiff at the game, and maybe that's why I struck out. You see that? Lou Gehrig struck out again. What's gotten into that guy anyway? He's slipping all right. What an exhibition. You call that baseball? Gehrig booted the game. Throw it right down a drain. I tell you, Lou, you ought to see a doctor. You owe it to the Yankees. Okay, Blake. Maybe you're right. Sorry to keep you waiting, gentlemen, but I wanted to have a look at these x-rays. How did I do, doctor? I'm afraid you'll have to give up baseball for a while. You see, Mr. Gehrig... Go ahead, doc. I'm a man who likes to know his batting average. Of course, I've only made a superficial examination of the tests. Is it three strikes, doc? It's three strikes. How much time have I got? Have her come in, please. Doc, I don't want her to know ever. I understand, but the newspapers... Leave everything to me, Lou. All right, come in. Hi, Ellie. Well, the verdict's in. I just got a little something, that's all. What is it? Well, I'll be cured of it before I learn how to pronounce it. Doc, can you pronounce it? We, uh... Doc's got to take one more x-ray, Ellie. We'll be right back. Just for the record, Mrs. Gehrig. Be right back. Blake, what did the doctor tell Lou? Well, nothing. Nothing at all.  Tell me the truth, Blake. Well, that's the truth. Some kind of itis. In jail, the doctor said? When is Lou going to die, Blake? How did you know? I could read it in your eyes. All of you. Don't let him know that I know. That afternoon at the stadium, Lou Gehrig took himself out of the lineup. The fans heard the news for the first time. A hush came over the crowd. Lou Gehrig, the Iron Man, was through. After 2,130 consecutive games, 14 years, a legend in the history of baseball was finished. But the fans, the baseball public who loved him, weren't going to let him go out this way. Spontaneously, an idea sprang into being at tribute. Lou Gehrig Day at the Yankee Stadium. A tribute from the millions of men, women, and children whose hearts were with him. Listen to the news. It's sort of funny, Ellie, standing here in the dressing room tunnel for the last time. What do you mean, for the last time? Next season, you'll be back bigger than ever. Yeah, maybe. Lou, I just thought of something. We've never had a honeymoon. Why shouldn't we have one now? Better late than never, huh, Ellie? Yeah, we've got all the time in the world now, haven't we? All the time in the world. Ellie, I, here, I had this made up for you. A bracelet. Out of your medal. No, it's just some of the hardware I've collected. Ellie. I guess I've got a right to cry a little. It's so beautiful. I wanted you to have it, Ellie, because you've given me so much. You've been so, you're such... Oh, you're dope. Are you making love to me, big ape? Go on, Tanglefoot. And you... Okay, Tanglefoot. Bearing his uniform for the last time, Lou walked alone from the tunnel. When he reached the microphone, 62,000 voices stopped screaming. The entire stadium rose in silent tribute, waiting for him to speak. I have been walking on ball fields for 16 years, and I have never received anything but kindness and encouragement from you fans. I have had the great honor to have played with the greatest veteran ball players of all time. I have been given fame, and undeserved praise by my friends, the sportswriters. I have worked under the two greatest managers of all time, Miller Huggins and Joe McCarthy. I have a mother and a father who fought to give me health and a solid background in my youth. I have a wife, a companion, a companion for life, who has shown me more courage than I ever knew. People all say I've had a bad break, but today, today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth. Lou turned at the man in the green and walked slowly across the ball field toward the tunnel. Not once looking back, walking out of baseball, not of his life, the champion. And all over America that afternoon, the hearts of millions more filled as they cheered him for the last time and said hail and farewell to our own Lou Gehrig, the pride of the Yankees. We've heard the last act of pride of the Yankees. Now here again is our star, Gary Cooper. Ladies and gentlemen, pride of the Yankees as a motion picture was a tribute to a great man. Tonight, it is a tribute to two great men. One of course was Lou Gehrig. The other was the director of pride of the Yankees, Sam Wood. Thank you, Gary. All of us in the screen director's guild respected Sam Wood and most of us loved him. I've known Sam for more than a third of a century. We first worked together in 1916. He was an extra and then I made him assistant director in my unit. I watched the development of a great talent that carried him into the ranks of the top directors. Sam was a pioneer in the motion picture industry and I've never known a more staunch supporter of individual freedom and the American way of life. He was a great director and a great citizen and a great man. All of us who knew him salute his passing. But we of the screen directors guild feel that this broadcast, the pride of the Yankees, which reflects his greatness as a director and as an American is the most sincere final tribute we can pay him tonight. Thank you, Mr. Cecil B. DeMille for your stirring tribute. This is the last performance of the summer series of screen directors playhouse to be presented under the sponsorship of Papst Blue Ribbon Beer. In the future, you'll be hearing this program on Mondays. Beginning next Monday, October 3rd, when the Hollywood screen directors present, the senator was in discreet, starring William Powell. For the exact time, consult the radio page of your newspaper. Speaking for the makers of Papst Blue Ribbon, I want to extend sincere thanks and congratulations to all the stars and players who have taken part in these fine dramas, to the screen directors who have supervised their production and to NBC.

that muscle memory of what to do in these environments. As you saw today, there's a lot of chaos, there's a lot of stuff going on, so the more we can train, get our air crew trained to handle that, the better it's gonna be for everybody involved. So they had a rescue basket, so that one we were using for the land, and that one's very simple, you literally just get in it and it hoists you up. The one we used in the water and on the land was called a rescue strop. That one's a little more complicated, but it's just behind the back, under the arms, and then up, and then it's got a little harness seat, and that one's designed pretty much to use anywhere. It's that way if something ever does happen and they do find themselves isolated alone in a water environment, that they can actually have the tools and the knowledge to get through it until your recovery team can actually come pick them up.

I am would like to join you briefly for the 10th International Conference on Community-Based Adaptation in DACA. I remember being in DACA for an earlier conference which took place on the 24th and 25th of April, 2013. I remember it because we were all torn apart, I might say, we were all absolutely shattered by the terrible tragedy of the collapse yn y rhan o blaesiau cyflasio o'r Sabaer y bydd. Nid ydych chi'n gwybod yw'r cyffredig yma yn y cyflodd wedi'u gwybarthio. Mae'r cyffredig o'r 1130. Mae'n meddwl gael yn y ddechrau. Ond gennym ni'n meddwl gwybod ar y cwmddir, a wnaeth y cwmddir yn gweithio ar y dyfodol i gydag. Ym再 sut yr unig ymddangos iawn is unig ymddangos, a mae canrhyw, ond yn y bydd y huniad ffyrdd y bydd yn y bydd hwnaf mae'r unig ffordd a'r adeptas cynnu yn fel hyn rywso'r mun iddo o beraber o'r unig, mae'n meddyg ifanc hwn i'r unig, a'r unig rewis iawn i'r unig ymddangos. Felly mae'r unigиеb arhaf, ac yn sicr hynny maen nhw yw hefyd chi fod y byrwyr y byrwyr yn greffu ar yr unig i'r unig ymddangos safiol, I also hope you will really take heart from the Paris Climate Conference last December. I was there, a Salim Huck was also there and many others. And I still remember when the gavel came down and we clapped and hugged each other and many of us cried. Why? Because we felt invested in the fact that that conference had done things we didn't expect, had set a new bar, new standards. And I hope they give you a lot of hope at your conference in Dhaka. Take for example the fact that adaptation is now brought up to the level of mitigation in importance in addressing climate change. We still have to see more funding of course. And take for example that there's a whole article on loss and damage, which this time last year we wouldn't have expected. And above all that we're now aiming for well below two degrees and striving for 1.5 degrees or below. That has never been so explicitly said before. And we've set the long term goal as it's called to have carbon neutrality by the second half of the century. We know we have to have carbon neutrality by 2050 if we're going to achieve the well below two degrees and get to 1.5. So I think there is a great deal to celebrate but also it has shifted the burden more to developing countries because they now have to implement the INDCs and indeed increase the ambition and they must get the resources and support and financing, climate finance and transfer of technology to do that. I will have been in New York for the signing ceremony on the 22nd of April and that was an occasion where so many heads of state and government from all around the world showed that they are committed to the Paris agreement. So warm congratulations to IIED and also the other organisations that are associated with this 10th international conference on community-based adaptation. A 10th anniversary is a real landmark. It shows resilience of an association that you can have this 10th anniversary. So I send you warm greetings and hope you will have a great conference.


Don't let money get in the way of university. Are you thinking about starting a full or part-time postgraduate course? Postgraduate study includes a range of masters and doctoral courses that can enhance your career prospects, providing you've completed the necessary qualifications for entry. A postgraduate masters usually takes around two years to complete. A doctorate could take six years or longer. Postgraduate study is an investment in your future, so it's important to think about costs. Whether you study full or part-time, you could get financial support, even if you juggle your course with other commitments like work and family. From August 2019, all eligible Welsh students starting a postgraduate masters course could get financial support made up of a mixture of grants and loans to help with costs while they study. You can decide how to use this support, whether that's with living costs, tuition fees or a mixture of both. Eligible students can get up to £17,000 made up of grants and loans depending on your household income. All eligible students will receive a minimum of £1,000 in grant support which doesn't need to be repaid. The maximum grant value, depending on your household income, is £6,885. Any grant support provided doesn't have to be repaid. Any remaining financial support is made available via a loan which students have to repay. Repayments don't start until you have finished or left your course and you are earning over £21,000. Financial support is spread over the duration of your course in three instalments per year that coincide with the start of each term. Don't let money get in the way of university.

I feel like that But no problem guys if you feel like Communicating talking to each other on the chat box feel free to do so because this live stream session is for networking as well So feel free to do that and now let me introduce the Business here. So I present this live stream session as a part of ITTT's approach and ITTT is a leading Teflon T sole Provider so if you feel like you want to Level up your English teaching career ITTT is right here for me for you.

So for your convenience, if you want to take your Teflon certification feel free to check out this QR code feel free to take the that course with which suits you best and Also, I want to say that Right now my speech might sound a little bit slow. That's because I haven't practiced for a while Unfortunately here in Russia. I don't have much choices much opportunity to speak so often so That's why I might sound like a slowpoke. So sorry for that. I will warm up probably I hope so at least okay, and now The topic that I have already promised to discuss today The ESL teaching strategy. So basically in my presentation, I decided to combine several popular approaches and You know to present this idea that everything works in combination I I Constantly get questions related to different teaching approaches and many new teachers believe that if they pick just one it will work for Whatever students they have Unfortunately, it is not so it doesn't work like this. So Right here right now. I just say that it is always better to Combine and to mix up just to make sure you Face the needs of various types of students and the first idea which appeals me most is that We teachers have to adjust our teaching style to the students needs So every time you prepare for a class you have to Think of your student to be in the center of the class. So forget about this old-fashioned teacher-centered approach where the teacher was like a leader in the classroom and all information was Coming from the teacher to the heads of the students these days It is old-fashioned. It is Outdated it doesn't work like this anymore because students also have some basic knowledge of different Concepts and they can become You know like leaders in your classroom as well and this is what you want to Facilitate as a teacher. So in this scheme on this scheme, you can see that you Should constantly think about your student being in the center and then you should ask yourself How do we respond to students needs? What do they want? How to use content and all that methodological stuff to engage students into the work into communication and so on and then How to Build those relationship to facilitate the learning process this is what we have to consider and to me it works best through this in Individualization and personalization Plus some positive relationship now my personal example I have a really nice student. She's 13 years old and When we started working she has already been kind of Proficient student not proficient of course, but like At her age. She was quite proficient. So she was much more ahead of the same age students and her needs were Higher much higher than those who studied In the same grade as she did so my approach was to put her in the center of our one-on-one classes and to consider her personal Interests needs and everything related to her persona. So that approach worked really good because she Developed that trust and These days like up to Almost two years of work. She says that these classes like my classes are not like school classes, but rather like Communication with a friend and I believe that this is what we all should strive for We have to consider our students being our friends Of course, we should level up this, you know Relationship we should balance them And there is some limitation to what we can share During the lessons what we shouldn't care and so on but in general, this is a great strategy. So Individualize Personalize everything you want to share Every content every material should be Taken based on what the student needs and then build on this positive relationship This is how this student center Learning framework works And then you just add on some different Things related to methodology Approaches and so on and so forth so when You put yourself In this scheme like like a leader It is not the same type of experience for the student So these days Student-centered learning approach Is the most modern and the most working one especially in the ESL teaching? But unfortunately student not students we People who used to work in a regular type of classroom back in the day we tend to you know Make our teaching style Similar to that That our teachers had at that time This is not the most proactive idea Unfortunately, okay, let's move on to the next part The second point which is also relevant to this 2022 strategy in ESL teaching is visualization and these days this is Quite easy to achieve So there is nothing Challenging to make your classes visually Friendly and at the same time interactive and Engaging so on the left on this picture on this slide you can see a List of resources you could use to make your classes interactive and Engaging with the use with the help of technology. So this platform called ad vibe. It's a great online teaching platform which provides different templates and Like kind of a constructor to make your Outstanding lessons so you can pick out One of like 30 different Templates and create your Engaging lesson and it's gonna be like interactive and engaging of course You can also use this platform to Carry out your lessons to deliver your lessons because they have a video live chat What else you can also set assignments Give homework through the platform and they also have ready made lessons ready made materials so you can just save time as a teacher just making copies and Providing your students those materials that have already been created by by some other teachers I guess it's really convenient because it helps to save up some time on preparation The next platform called word wall. It's also a constructor with various templates But it's more for creating games and activities So you can use this tool to make outstanding Interactive activities and then use them at your convenience when you have your classes and so on The rest is pretty clear as well. So I for example work on mirror It's like an online collaborative whiteboard. It is especially convenient to work on this whiteboard together with Several students. So if you work with groups, it's super convenient because everyone can collaborate In real time and it is very very engaging because students get involved into the Learning process. So again, this is a student-centered approach and You can also see three social networks. Why did I list them here is that? if you add on some Visual materials based on videos or pictures even blog posts, it should be Authentic from my point of view. Of course, it is also have it also has to be relevant. So you should work you should you know Discover so before you Offer some content to your students Try to work on them yourself So pick out the best quality materials because sometimes, you know, like bloggers They also create not the best type of content. So work on this platforms to find Engaging videos and materials that are relevant for your students once again and These days, especially if you work with teenagers TikTok videos are perfect to start a lesson or to like you know to break the ice and engage them into speaking activities or Engage them into grammar points. So whatever It it solely depends on your creativity But these resources are perfect to find something that is going to be authentic and Like Engaging at 100% So for interactive and engaging content To boost your students English experience use this resources and I hope that your lessons will Will be outstanding Okay by the way, if you have questions related to any of these materials, let me know in the chat box because You know, not everyone is Advanced in terms of technology And I totally understand that I started working online almost two years ago and at that time I had to think a lot and I had to explore a lot to Make my lessons at least a little bit of gay engaging my general strategy was showing PDF files and Probably that's it. So we worked with some text books and Nothing else these days I work with text books as well. So I base my lessons on those Popular publishers so I don't Create anything from scratch but I add on visual materials and Videos and so on to make it more Beautiful and to make it more visually friendly Okay And the last point of my presentation is here. So The approach you should implement in your ESL teaching strategy this year is differentiation and recycling So what I mean by saying differentiation It is especially relevant if you work with groups or classes We are a lot of people with different needs are presented so Sometimes in groups, we cannot control everyone especially in terms of needs and their Abilities so for this reason you should consider that you have to vary your lesson contents And you have to adjust the teaching strategy to the needs of the group not of a person So sometimes, you know It happened a lot to me when I was a student myself So I should say that I was not proficient So I was not the best student in the class and I always felt Left behind because the teacher offered content for proficient students who were quicker who were Faster learners than me and it felt so so depressing and annoying at the same time because I couldn't Catch up on them. So I had to struggle myself without any help and that's why I didn't like for example math physics and some other subjects at school Just because the content wasn't moderated to my personal needs because of the whole group and I studied in a classroom with those students who were Better than me in science subjects Unfortunately, so I constantly felt You know escaped maybe so I constantly felt left And these days being as being a teacher myself I Understand that it is important to think about everyone. Of course, it's not It's not a good idea to provide content for those Like considering just those who are weaker because this way Faster learners better students will feel left as well. So I have to moderate my teaching I have to differ a differentiate. So for those students who are Better or faster learners. I provide some new challenges constantly and for those who are slightly weaker and I offer some easier type of content Easier activities and exercises and of course I give them support. So if You find yourself in a position when some students Try their best to answer faster To you know, especially when it is quiet when you ask a question to a weaker student and it is quiet In a room for some time It's important to make sure the better learner the faster learner want Feel the quietness feel the silence with their personal ideas And this way you show your support to the weaker student If you agree with this approach, please let me know in the comments because I'm not sure if This idea is relevant to everyone So especially if you are If you work with a group, let me know how you do that And the second point from this slide recycling I believe that it is absolutely a must to give Your students opportunity to repeat everything Because our memory isn't that good unfortunately. I mean that memory That works like the the Short-term memory So you have to offer different types of Activities to repeat the content of your previous lessons or even Something you did with your students like long ago So for this thing, I once again, I have listed several Resources that can be used. So the first one is is Quizlet It's a great online tool to create those flip-flap cards. So It is useful to learn vocabulary and grammar if you If you explain it in chunks, for example So with this lexical approach Quizlet is perfect word wall. Once again, you can give your students Tasks to repeat some content based on games and Some engaging activities once again and this platform advibe It can also be used to repeat to retain materials So anyway, it is absolutely useful and helpful if you Work on the same content, but from different perspective again and again not just like yearly or Once In a month or something like that. Sometimes retention is necessary even more often Yeah, that's pretty much. I guess that This is it In terms of this ESL teaching strategy I'm going to implement this year. This is something I have already implemented Anyway, but I feel like I'm a bit weak in terms of retention and repetition. So this is something I want to work this year more on Let me know what is your strategy for this year? And if you find the tips that I have just Showed you relevant if you if you want to try them So let me know in the comments section Okay, and right now, let's have this Q&A I will answer your questions if you have any and also once again, you can see this QR code If you scan it, you will get a 30 discount of any ITTT's tappel courses online. So online tappel courses not all courses, but anyway If you want to Challenge yourself if you want to bring your Teaching career to the next level consider getting tappel certified because It is absolutely helpful for the teacher, especially for the new teacher Don't forget about your professional development And always strive for the excellence and I will now share the same coupon link In the comments section in the chat box. Give me a second Yeah, it is right here So here you are If you Follow this link from the chat box, you will also be able to get this 30 discount Make sure you save it for later Yeah, actually there is bill Who recommends another tool, which is kahoot. Yeah, it's also very engaging and I should say that on their Public page like the community page or something They have a lot of materials a lot of ready-made materials So it is absolutely cool to use this online tool as well Okay, thank you bill And let me see another Okay, so there is Akmal John I hope to pronounce the name correctly if I mispronounce it. Let me know So I took a TEFL course several years ago. It was back in 2017, I guess and this is how I started working with You know, this is how I started my TEFL career I would say that was almost the first step. So at that time I worked in China and I was I was a graduate student. So I I finished my university my bachelor's degree And I had no experience and also I had no clue about TEFL certification. I had no clue about teaching in general, but My major was linguistics was English linguistics. So That was the most, you know Logical outcome. I decided to start teaching because my English was quite decent So, yeah I started teaching in China and then I realized that I need to work on my methodology and stuff related to teaching in general. So I took this TEFL certification in 2017 and I should say that it was a great decision at that time because it helped me to Start building my career Yeah, that was absolutely a great decision to invest into myself and into my personal development and career, of course And let me show you Not show you let me read you what is written on my TEFL certificate I guess that these days it is slightly different, but in general the Visual appearance is quite the same so On my certificate it is written that I was awarded certificate in teaching English to speakers of other languages So at that time I decided that Getting a t-sol would be better for me, but basically TEFL and t-sol are quite the same. So The content is absolutely the same The content of the course itself And this Explanation this title. This is what you can decide upon finishing your study. So when you Finish the last assignment when you finish everything related to your TEFL certification course You will be able to decide which Title to write in your certificate. So I decided that I needed T-sol instead of TEFL but in general they are the same. This is the most Common question we get like what is the difference between TEFL and T-sol? So in terms of content of those courses, there is no difference But the difference is that The abbreviation is different Okay I hope that it works for you I hope that it is helpful All right. Yeah As for advibe So advibe is an online teaching platform. For example, I guess that you know such Such companies as VIP kit, for example advibe is A platform that you can kind of rent So for example VIP kit, they have their own Platform where teachers deliver different classes and they get all the material, but you have to You have to get hired by VIP kit As for advibe, you can just rent that platform and be a freelancing teacher yourself So you don't have to work for the company. You can work as an Entrepreneur or for example, you can start your online school And you can have the same quality of teaching Because you will have this TEFL not TEFL you will have this teaching platform But what I recommend doing is that Go and google this platform They are actually Um, they got their renaming so before they they called themselves progress me, but this day The they are advibe And I know that they this year they will go like On the international market So I guess that they have already got their International website It used to be russian only but these days I I suppose they have the same Yeah All right Yeah, bill actually gives a lot of relevant comments say thanks a lot Thanks for recommending t-sol Yeah, they are absolutely relevant, especially if you have no Educational background. So if you didn't if you haven't studied Um As if you have if you haven't prepared as a teacher or but rather like I don't know like me a linguist Or even something else Uh a TEFL certification a t-sol course would be absolutely worth it Um, okay And as for selta. Yeah, many people ask about selta as well So we don't provide selta at ITTT but selta is absolutely different. So it is more I guess it is more related to teaching adults If I'm not mistaken and this course Some time ago, I'm pretty sure not sure about these days It used to be An in-class course only so you couldn't take it in a real classroom And at the same time it was quite pricey. So When I was younger and when I Haven't taught before I considered like what to take a t-sol or selta and I decided to take a t-sol because it was More affordable for myself. So I could pay much less and have a quicker course With this feedback and so on so I guess it depends on your personal needs if you want a more Feedback based thing and A real classroom study Maybe selta will work for you, but it's a bigger investment Okay All right, I'm glad to hear that T-sol courses and selta as well help be able to find a job Easily that's Really really cool. Thanks a lot. By the way, bill. Uh, have you finished? A taffle course a t-sol course with ittt Or any other taffle provider? Let us know Yeah I guess that This is it for today, but I would like to invite you to my Group as well on facebook.

Progress is measured in tiny ways. To those who partake of a revolution, the speeding years seem to crawl. Builders of roads that cross a continent measure each day's work in feet or inches. So too our story unfolded in little ways, and it was greatest when we thought at least. The night that had fallen over this land was reluctant to depart, and the shadows seemed to fight back the dawn. But not by eastern windows only, when daylight comes, comes in the light. In front the sun climbs slow, how slowly, but westward, look, the land is bright. The National Broadcasting Company, in cooperation with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, presents The Land Is Bright, the twelfth in a series of programs describing the tremendous changes that have come lately to the American South. To report this latter-day revolution, NBC assigned Henry Cassidy, distinguished reporter and UN correspondent, to travel throughout the South and to bring back on his tape recorder The voices and the sounds that have, like some offstage music, accompanied one of the most dramatic developments of our time, the changes that have come to the South. The journey starts this week in a city heavy with history, but alive to the new forces that are struggling for expression, Spartanburg, South Carolina. It's Saturday night, the brightly lit movie marquee, the unusually heavy crowds on the streets, the shops still open all proclaim the fact, and in the lobby of the big old-fashioned hotel, Mr. Cassidy set up his microphone to record part of the story, the story of a land that is moving from the old to the new. This is Spartanburg on Saturday night. The Spartanburg, South Carolina, that calls itself with pride the city of friendly people and also the textile center of the nation. You see, Spartanburg is not only friendly, the old South, then proud, but also it's aggressive. It's not a big city as cities go. If you ask the size of the population, they'll tell you it's about 36,000, but then they'll also tell you that the city proper and the real population is 68,000 for greater Spartanburg. That includes the textile mills in the surrounding areas. On the desk of the Hotel Franklin here in Spartanburg, they have a copy of the Spartanburg City Directory, and it contains information like this. The community is exactly halfway between New York City and New Orleans on the main line of the Southern Railway. It has a city manager, four parks, 79 churches of 20 denominations, and 163 manufacturing establishments, the most important being textiles. But it's not all modern industry here. The city director says Spartanburg's historical background is revolutionary. The name of the city comes from a unit of the American colonial forces known as the Spartan Rifles, formed in this region, and they're proud of that too. The city was incorporated in 1831. After the war between the states, and they still call it that down here, there's not the Civil War, and there's an important difference there, because it means it was not a Civil War really, but a war between two countries. After that war, whatever you call it, Old King Cotton ruled in Spartanburg. And with the advent of cotton mills, the population doubled here between 1880 and 1890. That remained static then for a while, but now in the very center of the cotton belt, Spartanburg is feeling the new surge of the new South. As it looks right now from the window of the Hotel Franklin, where we're broadcasting from, it looks here like any good sound American town, north, south, east, or west. Under my window, I've got a parking block. I would say about a dozen cars here. Across the street from that, there is something called a kitty corner. Across from it, the Palmetto Theater. And across from it, rounding the four sides of the intersection, a department store. Here, as I say, this could be in New England. It could be in the Middle West. Actually, we are in the South. So now up here, we're going to ask some of these people, these friendly people of the friendly city to come in and tell us about it. Could I ask your name, sir? I am Traywick. And you live in Spartanburg? Yes, sir. What do you do here, sir? Well, I'm just now teaching at the Spartanburg Junior College. How long have you been in the South, Dr. Traywick?  What would you say you've seen in the way of change in the South? In the South? Well, I've seen changes in railway construction and in highway construction and in buildings and schools and churches. Oh, I've seen a change in politics also. We used to talk a great deal about the solid South. But for some reasons, it isn't altogether solid. It never has been, as far as that's concerned. It's just another one of those slogans you were talking about. But people have an independent way.  Spartanburg has its individuality. When you speak of a friendly city, that's an individual thing. And Spartanburg certainly lives up to that reputation. And now could I ask your name, sir? My name is E. R. McConnell. And since I've been about two years old, that one has always called me Tuck. Well, could I call you Tuck? That's right. And who are these fine young fellows with you? The largest boy here is Tuck Jr. And the middle boy is Joe and the baby is Sandy. And Mr. McConnell, what are you doing down here? Well, at the present time, I'm in the insurance business. For about, for the past 18 years, I've been in the coaching business. What were you coaching? Football and baseball. I came to Spartanburg in 1927 as a member of the Davidson College football team. And I was so impressed with the city. By the way, I might say we were playing Warford College at that time. I was so impressed with the city and the people were so nice to me that I made the remark that when I finished college, I'd like to live in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and what had just turned that way. Well now, Mr. McConnell, you've seen this town over a period of time. I wonder if you could tell us what are some of the changes that you've seen. In 1933, when I came here, it's almost a changed town. If you hadn't seen it in the last 20 years, you'd hardly recognize it. So the building program here has gone along very well. Spartanburg has improved a lot in looks to begin with. I think that the farming section around here has improved so much. I noticed that methods of farming are so different, and that's due partly to this wonderful program at Clemson College over here. They have turned to lots of those red hills, which would only grow small crops into nice grazing lands. And this section of the country has really gone in for this cattle raising. Well now let's ask the boys about this. Now this big fella here, that's Tuck Jr., is it? That's right. Tuck, how old are you? 11. Where were you born, Tuck? Spartanburg, South Carolina. And this is home to you, is it? Yes, sir. Now Tuck, tell me, in your 11 years, have you seen any change around the town? No, I haven't seen change because I haven't been living here not too long. Tuck, do you have any fellas in your school who don't come as you do from around here, who weren't born here? Got any Northerners? Yes, sir. How many? There's two in our room. But Tuck, tell me, who were the two new boys? Well, one of them was a girl. I was Callan Jones, and she was from Providence. And then another boy came in, and he was from Providence. And a girl came in from Oregon, and all the way the other one came in from. Now, Tuck, the other day in a cafe down this way, we met a Northerner who had been to school down here about 10 years ago, told us that he used to get beaten up about 10 years ago.  You aren't beating up Callan Jones or any other of those Northerners, are you? No. How do you like them? Fine. What's the difference between them and you folks? Well, the boy and I are in Pete Henson, and he's all the time running around calling Callan Jones a Yankee, and that aggravates her, and so she aggravates him. Some other boys, she always has a new way. Now, what do you call Callan Jones? Callan Jones. I see. Not Miss Jones or Callan? No. Do you like her? He's a nice girl, but way over my age. Oh, well, that's an important difference. I would think, Tuck, actually, that difference in age is more important than the difference between North and South, isn't it? Yes, sir. Saturday night in Spartanburg, South Carolina, we're in the Brass Rail on Main Street, Spartanburg. Could I ask you a name, please? My name's Jack Price. Jack, what do you do down here? I run the Brass Rail, and I have a used car line a few blocks from there. And you're the host of the establishment here? That's correct. Yeah. Jack, how long have you been here? About six and a half years. Where do you come from? Long Island, New York. Long Island, New York, actually. What part of Long Island? Well, I lived in Patua for a while, I lived in Freeport. Last place I lived was in Hicksville, Long Island. What brought you down here? Well, I have an uncle down here. He advised me to come down here. Living was easier. And just live a little slower and live longer, I guess. He's glad you came. I certainly am. I didn't like that. I should go back. The changes here are being observed, being discussed, recorded, and analyzed. It was one of my pleasures to drop into the city room of the local newspaper or perhaps the school in those towns where night interrupted our journey to talk of the new forces that were striding down streets that once knew the footfall of slaves on their way to the marketplace. It was a particularly fortuitous nightfall that caught me at Chapel Hill in North Carolina, the location of the University of North Carolina, and the home of a number of astute gentlemen who were to explain much of what I had seen and heard. It was there that I met George L. Simpson, associate professor of sociology at the university and a close observer of the changes that have come. I think I would like to talk about one rather dramatic change that's close to so many of us here in North Carolina. This is the change in the way people live throughout a large part of the South. This change is reflected in a term we may lift from the census. That is, we have had a great increase in the last two generations in the number of what the census called rural non-farm people. Rural non-farm people refers to those people who live neither in town nor in a city, nor, on the other hand, are they actually engaged in any large-scale farming. Now, this category of people was not significant enough to be even listed in the census until 1920. Since that time, this whole category of people has grown tremendously. This movement and population is significant in several respects. First of all, it reflects basic changes in agriculture and in industry and business in the South, changes that have occurred over the last several generations. It reflects on the one hand the decrease in the amount of labor required in Southern agriculture. It reflects on the other hand an increase in the demand for industrial labor in Southern industry. It also reflects the growth of service industries in the South. This emergence of this middle group, the middle third in North Carolina, we call it sometimes, reflects, I think, new ways of living. It is very interesting to speculate, as a matter of fact, as to whether or not this is a transitional development and will pass over into a larger urban development or whether or not we may not very well have here a somewhat new way of life in America. And I would like to put that in individual terms. The figures show that individually, most of the Southern people have had the good fortune to come into contact in the last several generations with education, with services such as power and telephones, good roads, and all that type of thing. Now we think of those things so often in terms merely of figures, but we must understand that these changes have brought about new conditions of life. These people having learned about these things, having had them, having participated in building them are now no longer going back to old conditions. Sometimes we say in class about this general movement that the old song, how are you going to keep them down on the farm after they've seen Paris, applies rather well to this situation. The legend has it that Southern women are charming persons, delightful at light conversation, expert at the ancient art of flirtation, but deplorably uninformed about the world beyond their doorstep. I was delighted to find that while Southern charm is as intriguing as in the time of fluttering fans and soft candlelight, there's a new attitude, and the daughters of women who looked upon accomplishment as something masculine are now performing tasks that call for stern talents, for hard work of the sometimes harsh facts of 20th century living. In Griffin, Georgia, I had the pleasure of meeting a person who typified the new attitude, Mrs. Ernest Carlisle, Secretary of the Griffin Chamber of Commerce. Well, of course, we are like most women everywhere. We are very interested in politics, how they affect our children. We're interested in schools and in hospitals, and all of those things. I think we've made great many strides in the past. We're interested in it. What do you do about it? Well, we have democratic organizations down here, and some of my friends, by the way, were Republicans for the first time this last year. That seems to have been common in the South. But we did have active groups and discussion groups on those things. And then in the schools in Griffin, we have just completed the million and a half dollar expansion program. Which, by the way, is a great deal of it. Most of it, in fact, were the Negro schools. And we think that we've made marvelous strides with the schools. And we've just completed a beautiful new hospital. And so we have very good hospital facilities. All of those things, I think, affect the South and our improvements. Mrs. Carlisle touched upon one aspect of the new South that was to thrust itself upon us more and more as our journey wound through the cities and the villages. The human relationships, the infinitely subtle but highly important interchange between employer and employee. I learned that what only a few years ago was a nebulous concept without premise or vocabulary is now a full-fledged science. Listen to Mr. Frank Shaw, Industrial Relations Manager of the Atlanta-Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Human relations is probably the number one factor in maintaining and expanding our industry down here. Smart management by the underground is close to the workers and makes a project out of good human relations in the industry. Then, as an industrial engineer, you recommend first that application be given to human relations. Yes, sir. Alabama Progressive Democratic Association is an organization of Negro Democrats throughout the state of Alabama. It was only natural that a discussion of human relations should lead to a discussion of a great problem still to be resolved in the South, as indeed it must be resolved in other parts of the country. Here again, we found tremendous changes from the attitudes of a scant decade ago. Here is Mr. Arthur D. Shaw's prominent Negro attorney in Birmingham, Alabama and president of the Alabama Progressive Association. This group recognizes that many of the social problems still remain difficult to solve until the Negro in the South completely exercises that basic right and responsibility of vote in local and national contests. Mr. Shaw, as I asked, how is this going? Up until the presidential election of 1948, the Negro voting in Alabama was approximately 10,000. But during the last presidential election, approximately 50,000 Negroes voted. The problem of Negroes voting in Alabama hasn't been that Negroes were not allowed to vote in the so-called white primary, but the problem in Alabama has been that of registration. And several counties in the state, no Negroes have registered since the state constitution was enacted in 1901. These are predominantly what is known as black belt counties where you have a majority of the population being Negroes. Recently, on the administration of the governor prior to the present governor, registration facilities were open to Negroes and a large number of Negroes were permitted to register. Then Negroes went into the federal courts and into the state courts, and in some counties where no Negroes had been registering are now Negroes in those counties hold a balance of power. Well, then here you have a sign of progress. It used to be 10,000 in the last election, 50,000. But what proportion would that be of the total potential Negro vote? The 50,000 would be approximately 10%, I should think, of the potential Negro vote. So even with this progress, you still have only 10% of the Negroes voting? That is correct. Why is it that you don't have more? We still have the problem of registration. From time to time when a new board is installed, it might begin by registering token number of Negro voters. But with the exception of some three or four counties, you still have Negroes facing considerable difficulty in being registered. The registrars just arbitrarily refuse to register them. And I suppose, too, on the part of the Negroes, there's some restraint in trying to register. Well, in some section there is considerable restraint, but in some sections Negroes have been quite interested and have tried time and time again to be registered. I wonder if you could take a look way into the future and tell us how you think that this is finally going to work out. We feel that because of world-wide conditions and the leadership that our national government holds in the eyes of the world, that race relations must become better and they will become better if our country is to maintain its position. We feel that if democracy is to survive, that here in the South where the greatest test that democracy faces will depend upon the treatment of minorities and the continued racial progress here in the South. And there still remains, well, you might call it, unfinished business. Volumes have been written about the Ku Klux Klan and, of course, I had heard of the riders and the mysterious ceremonies that take place in the flickering light of burning crosses. Actually, the real power of the Ku Klux Klan is almost non-existent now and where it does exist, it's a furtive thing, living in darkness, feeding on ancient hates and suspicions that have no real meaning. And what was conceived in darkness has been killed in sunlight. Here are two voices of the due South, Representative Addison Hewlett of New Hanover County, North Carolina and Senator J. V. Whitfield of Pender County. They are joint sponsors of a bill to outlaw forever those who would band together and ride on evil errands. The purpose of this bill is to outlaw any secret society having unlawful purposes. What are some of the details that you specified to achieve that end? Well, in the bill we define what is a secret society having unlawful purposes and we set up mechanics which will enable prosecuting attorneys about over the state to rapidly chase down the members of these organizations and bring them to justice. Senator Whitfield, what is the origin of the bill? About a year or more ago we had trouble in Columbus County over on the South Carolina line. Our people were, without any rhyme or reason, apprehended at night by mobs, mass mobs, and sometimes beaten there but frequently carried over to South Carolina. It was very difficult, of course, for the officers to apprehend these perpetrators of what we would call crime. However, gradually we did. And I was solicited of the district. Finally broke up this clan and sent them everyone to jail. Senator Whitfield, have you any idea how many members of the Ku Klux Klan they may be in North Carolina? That is very difficult to answer. Just now I would say if there are any, they are certainly underground. Yes, and your bill will bring them into the light. Bring them into the light. Well, now an interesting point occurs to me here. If you're outlawing the Ku Klux Klan and all other unlawful secret societies, aren't you representative Hewlett outlawing the Communist Party? That's true. We didn't realize we were doing that at the time we introduced the bill, but it seems like we may have done that in the course of what we did while we all fall back. But the changes in this land are not to be explained alone in terms of economics or politics or even the new feelings of men toward men. There's another ingredient in this mixture. Older even than this land, older by centuries is an old oak that stands guard over the door to the little church. And there are those whose vision of tomorrow is cleared and brightened by an awareness of our heritage. It was Mr. R. W. Spears, president of Columbia College in Columbia, South Carolina, who began this story. The church traditionally has been strong in this section of the country. There's a tremendous spread of the churches, particularly in communities that are fast growing, that is in residential areas of the various cities of the South. There's a tremendous growth of churches. And I believe this is true of practically all the denominations. The churches are springing up right and left, and there seems to me to be a definite trend away from the large downtown church to the community-centered church. How would you account for this change and this growth, Dr. Spears? Well, I think something of the industrial revolution that's taking place here in the South is very definitely a part of it. Our population is growing by leaps and bounds, as you well know. More and more, our people are seeing the value of a new emphasis upon religion. I believe that's true. And Mr. Hamilton Moses, chairman of the board of the Arkansas Power and Light Company, citing chapter and verse. I believe that the South is more spiritual, that the South devotes much more time and attention to the spiritual things and spiritual affairs of life than at least the sections of the country with which I've been associated up here. I believe there's a marked improvement in the spiritual feelings of our people and our spiritual hopes in the South. We are known, of course, as the Bible reading South, and that's true. Down our way, there's quite an urge now, quite an effort now for more evangelization and a development of our people spiritually. I think we people down South recognize it to build a nation and to maintain and sustain a nation that our folks have got to be developed spiritually, more than you have economically, and that the spiritual phase of life means much more to the future peace and solidarity of our country than there's all the economics that you pile in there in a set of books. My dear friend, God makes it plain what he wants us to do, doesn't he? When God speaks to our heart, we know. We know that it's God that's speaking. God spoke to some hearts three years ago. That's why we're here tonight. God is speaking to your heart tonight. He's saying, my child, go to work. Go to work today in my venue. May God help us to do it. So ends the long night. Already those on the hilltops can see the beginnings of the day. Much remains of the past, and the night still lurks in a thousand places. But not by eastern windows only when daylight comes, comes in the light. In front, the sun climbs slow, how slowly, but westward look, the land is bright. You have been listening to The Land Is Bright, the twelfth in a series of programs, Heritage Over the Land. This series is written and directed by William Allen Bales and produced by Ms. Lee F. Paynan. Mel Brand speaking. It is anticipated that a future series will deal with changes in other sections of the country. Join us next week for the 13th and last in this series on the New South.


The world is a scary place to be, y'know, we got stuff like the Mariana Trench just existing, y'know, there's this bottomless pit of darkness and evil, y'know, we got mountains that bust hot liquids over the land and just burns the skin off of people's flesh, and everyone's just okay with it. Just living their day-to-day lives.  It is a terrible place.  I mean, like, yeah, there's no water there.  But y'know what? If growing up has taught me anything, it's to be grateful. Yeah, be grateful. Be grateful for your garbage-ass living conditions just cause there's someone else in the world that probably has it worse than you. But I've started thinking for a long time.  There's no one in the world that's had it worse than me.  I don't want to hear it. I get it. They're starving. They're dying, right? But guess what? I used to play on old Xbox Live. Yeah, bro. You heard me right. Old Xbox Live. I can just smell the toxicity.  Now, when Microsoft first made Xbox Live, they thought it'd be this efficient, team-play-enabling mechanic that everyone would use professionally. That never happened. You see, classic Xbox Live consisted of three groups of people. Kids, teenagers, and then my favorite group, broken and angry middle-aged men whose life dreams evaporated because they spent too much time with their addiction and yelling at kids over a video game. The kids, let's say age 8 to 12, right? They weren't so bad. You know, they either spoke nonstop, only spoke whenever they died or got a headshot and they wanted the entire team to know. You know, like at first, it's pretty cute. But after a while, it gets pretty... It gets pretty...    Damn! I'm sorry. I don't mean to be rude, man. I know you're excited. I'm excited too, man. Woohoo!  The teenagers, on the other hand, that was a completely different story. You know, these teens had to have come equipped with an N-word manifesto, the N-word almanac. The monetize. The monetize. The monetize. It's like their dad told them, son, I need you to call 100 people online. The monetize.  It didn't matter if you were white, black, Hispanic, half-marshan, they had plenty enough to hand out. And it's kind of ironic, though, because these teenagers, you know, as toxic and edgy as they were, were usually actually pretty good at the game. You know, usually they'd be the ones carrying, since a lot of them had parents that would just toss video games at them. It's like a pacifier to keep them quiet. They'd have some ridiculous 21.7 KDA in first-person shooters. They'd be like 12th prestige, even though the game just came out like four days ago. So, you know, a lot of the issues that they had weren't really the fault of their own, but their parents allowed the internet to raise their child. The middle-age group. Possibly the worst out of all three. Wait, wait a minute. What am I saying? Possibly. The guaranteed worst out of the three. They usually got on at around 1 to 3 a.m. after doing graveyard shift at whatever dead-end job they had. You could usually hear them arguing in the background with either their mom or their landlord, because they were late on rent money. They probably hadn't showered in like five weeks, and the way I know that is because you could usually smell the stench through the headset that you were wearing. And their entire existence on Xbox Live was to be a plague. A plague that projects all the insecurities and emotional distress on the kids that just wanted to play their favorite game online with other people.  Oh, you just joined the lobby and there's someone named XXShadowKillerXX, and he just came home from a long night of work. Oh, did XXShadowKillerXX see you die to someone else on the enemy team? Unfortunate. Listen, kid. Listen. I swore on everything.    Do you understand me? Bro, you're really talking to a kid like that?  This isn't even ranked! Look how you can't show that it's not ranked! He's still messing with my Katie! If he wants to be a newbie, I got a headshot! I got a headshot! Look, look! This kid got a headshot! I don't know how to act like me! And then, while all of this is happening, for some reason, you got that either Hispanic or Indians thing that has his mom vacuuming in the background. Hey, hey, hey! Can you turn that down? Hey, hey, whoa, whoa! Can you turn that down? I hope our Honda Civic don't crash!
