George Bruno with the 21 Report at the 21 Convention Patriarch Edition in Orlando, Florida 2019 and I'm talking to Ed Latimore. Welcome, Ed. Hey, what's going on, George? Yeah, good to see ya. Wow, you just got done telling me that you did a workshop with two other guys and it wasn't all about women and red pill and a hypergamy. You went off in another direction and it sounds kind of exciting to me. Share that with the folks. Well, one of the things that Tanner Guzzi said this weekend and it really resonated with me was that the tools used after you understand the red pill and to make your life better, you know, that they can be applauded in any way shape or form.  It's a very different lifestyle to many guys who we typically think of when we think about the red pill. Community and that really got me, you know, that stuck with me and we had been planning this kind of retreat for guys who were looking to get their finances or their physicality or their personal branding and message and mindset and fashion, correct? So really just a different angle, very complimentary, but a different angle for improving men and offering what we've learned, you know, the hard way going through many different types of trials and tribulations, but I think all of us now we sit at a point where I certainly feel comfortable and I don't know if I have the biggest of the group, but I'm I think my imposter syndrome tends to be higher or greater than I present. So I feel comfortable like, okay, I'm an authority in these areas and I feel like you guys are definitely an authority in the areas you want to talk about and we have something really great to offer and something that can really change maybe not the entire world, but certainly someone's little world and then that changes another little world and it just resonates down the lawn. I heard it was a very popular workshop. It was. I was very surprised, you know.  You know, to me five minutes early is late kind of deal. And I was in line to get some coffee and it just took a little longer than I thought, but in my mind, I'm like, okay, this sucks, but on the one hand, how many people are gonna want to come to our thing? You know, we got, I think our workshop was at the same time as Donovan's and Steve's deans.  It looked like the main convention a few guys had stepped out for a bathroom break. I was like, wow, there were a lot of people there. So it was cool and we got a lot of good questions and we set up like a Q&A format so we could really have it be kind of an informal workshop field to it and we wanted to maintain that so we didn't just stand there and lecture at guys and talk to them. I'm like, no, we got people involved and we got some back and forth and certain questions, although they may have been directed towards one area of expertise that we had, we all kind of charmed in because it's not like, you know, AJ is the physical fitness guy, but it's not like, you know, I'm out of shape, right? And Tanner's the fashion guy, but I like, you know, my code and I'm the mindset guy, but clearly AJ has it together and Tanner's got a very strong frame with his family. So while we have areas where we are like the specialist, overall one of the things I think we bring to the table that allows us to do this is that we all have achieved a certain level of mastery in the areas and I think people can look at our lives, which you certainly can't, you can't look at our lives and go, man, those guys are full of it. You may not want to learn from us, but you certainly will not feel like this is a scam or anything we're putting on because these are the things that change our lives. And really, you know, I think we always go, okay, what was your trajectory of development? Tanner had a pretty good trajectory of development because the Mormons are incredible people. I love talking to them, interacting with them. And AJ's was a little rougher, but he had a good solid family foundation to come from. I think where I was in life, not just prior to getting everything together, but even going further back as a child and things I had to endure growing up in a Mosey, no, not Mosey. I mean, it was a single mother household and being poor and things like that coming from the hood and all that, you know, those things play a part, not the things that like how they beat me down or something, but the type of person I had to become to overcome those things, the journey as I went through in each level and along the way, what I learned and I wanted to really deliver those. And those guys are right on point with me. So I think it's going to turn out really well. And will you be doing this as well in Poland, do you think? I'm not sure. We haven't discussed that. It certainly makes the most sense because I know that Tanner's going, I don't know, I assume AJ's going as well. So it makes the most sense that we'll do it over there as well and continue to promote and develop and really put it, make people aware of what we're doing. All right. So you're going to be in Poland in July and you're going to be back at the World Conference in October. Do you guys have a name for yourself yet? The Self Optimization Summit. Oh, wow. Because here was the idea, right? There is a really big, you know, a really, really broad set of services to say for guys who are coming from my son, you know, rock bottom in certain areas and moving to not rock bottom to a position of kind of stability, like, ah, you know, it's not so stressful. It's not so bad. You know, I'm not pinching for the rent. I have a little bit of extra leftover.  Right. I can hold a conversation, but I can't speak magnetically. Okay. So you've moved from the worst to kind of this middle ground. But what about the people who want to go to the next level who want to optimize? That's what we want to come in. It's more fun. It's more fun to me in general to take someone from good and get them to great rather than novice and get them to good. It's just more fun and more interesting. And so it worked out well for my personality. And I think the rest of the guys had a similar idea, had a similar perspective and a similar goal. And so we came up with the self-optimization summit because we're trying to optimize the men, you know, who wants to become the best version of themselves. And while there are definitely areas in which each of us lag, there's no arrogance here going like, oh, we can teach you because we are at the top of Mount Olympus, mortal. Like no, it's nothing like that. What it is is there are certain areas and there are certain certain hardships. Each of us is overcoming individual areas to where that experience, yes. In that area, we're very good. And we can help you become just as good and combined, we have a whole spectrum covered.  Because as much as I love the format of the convention, we're doing a whole deep dive, you know, I think we're limiting it to 14 people. And it will be at a house, you'll live with us for a week and we'll do everything from deep diving on your style and how you present yourself, to how you think about yourself, how you see your goals and how you attack them, how you work out routine, everything, right? So to where you leave at least two notches hard and when you came in, but the thing is, when you come in, we're hoping that you're at the point to where, you know, we're not, we're not taking you from the bottom. We're taking you to the top. Who is going to be your ideal candidate to sign up for the self optimization summit? So we thought about that and we talked to, we talked to Tanner a lot about this because Tanner deals with the most, I guess, affluent customer. And the reason for that is because by the time you get to the point where you are worried about your fashion and you can hire someone to do something, not only can you hire someone specialized, you can afford what he's going to suggest. So the ideal candidate is someone who has had some success in their life, but they're looking to take it up and that success should be quantified, you know, because our time and what we're going to do and what we're going to give, that is not cheap. And we don't want you to look at it cheaply either. More importantly, if it's one thing, as someone said it to me, because I have a big problem pricing things, I tend to look at the wide and shallow approach. I, you know, I have such a wide reach, I rather just charge a low amount and that'll get me to what I need to live, whatever. But the problem with that I've learned is that price also is a thing that the consumer uses to determine how valuable they really think it is. And that might sound counterintuitive at first because, okay, you figured they spent the money already, of course they think it's valuable. A lot of purchases are imposed. And so what I've learned is you want to charge to where they'll listen to you. And when I thought about it like that, I was like, huh, I don't even remember who said that to me. I said, yeah, I mean, you're right. Like I don't want to, you know, and I kind of learned that the hard way, but I corrected after I got that advice because I was a kid, I was working with on, you know, some Skype consultations. And he reached out to me and he seemed to be in a really bad place. So I did it for free. I gave him like four free, four free sessions at night I had stuff to do.  And I hadn't heard from him in a while. And he reached out to me two weeks ago and told me where he was in life. And it was like, nothing changed. It was like, he didn't listen to me at all. And so I said, okay, check this out, dude. I'll talk to you again, because I don't want to give up on you, but you don't value my time. And so I'm not going to waste my time. At this point, I mean, like I care for you, but I'm not really worried about wasting your time. So I'm going to charge you a certain amount now. And if you're interested, you're interested. And if you're not, you're not, but no more free conversation. That's not occurring. And you know, he paid. And I don't know if he listened because he messaged me one time about something. I wrote back and it was some dialogue.  I mean, I'm, I probably give way more than the average person does. You know, I consider anyone I bring under my wing for help. Now it's like family, man, you got my texts and my phone number and emails. And I'll respond, you know, whenever it's not like maybe like, Oh man, here's a bill for that text message. That's crazy. Because we're in a game to help you or I'm in the game to help you. But I also know because of human nature, that if I just give you my help for free, you're just not going to use it. And I really wish human nature wasn't that way. Well, but I guess part of me does because that allows me to live a good life because I've done the work. When you've done the work and you learn how to transmit what you've learned to someone else so that they can understand it, or as I say, break down what I learned the hard way. So you can learn it the easy way. Then you, you're in a position to where as I like to say, it's very difficult to go broke. I like that. Well, I'm looking forward to seeing the progress of the self optimization summit. Sounds like a dream team to me. Alexander Cortez, Tanner Guzzi, and Ed Latimore. Thank you, Ed. Thank you very much. How can people find you and find out more about this? Oh, you know, I'm Ed Latimore on Twitter. Ed Latimore on Instagram. EdLatimore.com is my website. It's very smart about this. I got everything, the same, the same. So now I call myself Ed. You know, I alternated back and forth for a while between Ed and Edward. And I'm not like, you know what, just all my books on Amazon are Ed. So you can just type Ed Latimore if you want to. In fact, that's the search term that brings the most traffic to my website. So that's how you find me. Ed Latimore. And then put whatever, I have an email address, EdLatimore at edlatimore.com. Like it is just. And you'll be announcing more of this stuff and how this progresses at all of your sites. As it comes along on my email list as well, as it develops, more information will be out about it. Because right now what we have, I don't even know this, right? I'm the worst that it is. Everyone has a weakness. Here's my weakness. If there's too many streams, I just lose interest and I check out. And too many, I used to think too many was three streams. It looks like too many might be two streams. Because it's just me, Tanner and AJ and this group, I had no idea we had a logo. It popped up on the screen. I was like, yo, what did that happen? That's great. Well, we got a logo. So we have a logo now and now we're going to be tied. And we have a house too, which is, you know, I didn't know that. So we have a house, we have a logo now. It's just figuring out the cost of the logistics, like figuring out what we're going to do at the house in Los Angeles and how we're going to structure that out, the time, what people get, the meals, all that kind of deal, that thing. Really planning an event. So that'll be an interesting challenge and it'll be fun, but I'm looking forward to it because I know what it means. I know what it's going to do for people and what it's going to do for me as well, because the teacher gets just as much, if not more out of teaching than the student does. Yeah, so exciting. Thank you so much. Thank you.


Course restore. Upload your course to Moodle Cloud. It's possible to save a course you've made on one Moodle site, and reuse it on a different Moodle site. When you save your course, the process is called backup, and when you add it or upload it to a different site, the process is called restore. In this video, we'll look at how you can restore the practice course you made during our Learn Moodle MOOC into your own personal Moodle Cloud site. You can also restore your course to the Moodle site of your school or organisation, but the way you do it may be different, so you need to check with your administrator. First, make sure you saved or backed up your practice course using the video on Course Backup to help you. Make sure you have it in a safe place on your computer. Our teacher, Sam, has her practice course on her desktop here, and she's logged into her Moodle Cloud site where she's an administrator. You may not be an administrator on your organisation's Moodle site, and that's why you should ask for their advice if you want to restore your practice course there. We click Site administration in the nav drawer, find courses, and click restore course. We can then import the backup file, either by clicking the button to upload it, or as our teacher Sam is doing here, dragging and dropping it in. When we click the restore button, we're prompted to check the backup details and we scroll down and click continue. Note how it appears we are doing in reverse what we did when we backed up the course previously. On the next screen, we decide if we want to add this as a new course or into an existing course. Again, you might experience this differently if you're restoring to your organisation's Moodle site and you don't have administrator rights. If we restore it as a new course, we need to choose the category. Our teacher only has one category, miscellaneous, on her Moodle Cloud site at the moment, so she clicks that button. Clicking continue then takes us to another screen to check the settings and we press next again. We can move through this quickly because we've already checked the settings. We can edit the name and details of the course and decide which activities to keep. We move on again, we do a final check and then press perform restore. Once the process is complete, there is a green success message and Sam's practice course from Learn Moodle is now available on her Moodle Cloud site.


Being out there, like I said, is an extreme blessing and I'm grateful for it, but it is a frustrating process just being out there, you know, like I feel like a clip wing, a bird can't fly with a clip wing, so it can be frustrating while you're trying to, you know, get back to 100% and just dealing with what I'm dealing with. So that's why I said it's good for me to be out there, like I said, to try to adapt and my body just kind of make this next jump, this next step, building some momentum into the end of the season and OTAs, whatever. How clipped is the wing? You know, it's a hard question. I'm not even going to get into that, but like I said, you know, I've been leaning on the verses, you know, it says, I will not die, you know, I will live and proclaim what the Lord has done. So that's just what I'm leaning on and that's all I can do. You think you got a shot to play maybe in the finale or with the team? I mean, I'm just showing up every day to try to get better and, you know, push my limits and see what I got, you know, what juice I got on my left foot, my leg, and yeah, that's how I'm doing it, taking it day by day. I'm definitely not trying to rush nothing. So yeah, that's where I'm at. Did you surprise yourself at all that you were even able to come back this season at least into practice? Yeah, you know, I've been very reserved for what's been going on, but honestly, you know, if you were to ask me a month ago or not a month ago, but two months ago or some things, you know, I'm definitely surprised at where I'm at and it's been, I'm grateful to, you know, be able to go out there and run around a little bit. So when did you start feeling good enough to be able to do this? What you're doing now? Over time, slowly, my strength endurance increased and it got to the point where I felt like I could go out there to try to push it, make the next jump. So that's where I'm at. You say you're not 100%, but how good emotionally did it feel to kind of be back out there, need to do some work with it? It's all, it's a great, I'm grateful to be out there. It's just, it's still frustrating, but emotionally I am thankful and grateful to be here and be out there on the football field. Caleb, you talked about that nerve a little bit. Is that better than just in terms of the nerve with the back? Oh, it's healing. Okay. Yeah, it's healing. I still got a little bit of, bit to go. Hopefully that's why I'm out there.  What's out, you guys can trot on and experience Stargardt?  So it'll be awesome. It'll be like never missing a page, never missing a beat. What do you see in the Seahawks defense? They have really good players, you know, they fly around their physical team. Their zone coverage is really good. It's always has been good. They're a disciplined team too, so. People have been talking a lot about motivation over the last few days. Now that playoffs are off the table, what is it kind of motivating you for these last few games? For me, I'm doing my dream job every day. So for me, it's the same thing, you know, if we weren't, if we weren't making the playoffs and obviously there's the element to it as well, that you're not just playing for your team. Obviously you're playing for, you know, all 32 teams at the end of the day. Guys who are going into free agency, you know, guys who have their own individual goals. So we all, we all have our own individual motivations for playing. But mine is just, I'm not about to go out there and just not play. I'm not, not compete. So that's not who I am. So, yeah. Jake, what about the difference in your production in the last handful of games? You're, you're making more catches, getting more involved. Anything changing, anything different? Um, no, just make, I think just making them, you know, just having a clear head and playing out there more confident and just, you know, just making the plays that come my way. The experience they're getting it? Yeah, you always want to see young guys like that get snaps and get experience. Um, obviously I feel like I'm, I feel fortunate I have the amount of snaps I didn't can keep improving on that. But it's cool to see other guys get in and develop, whether it be Will or Tyger or Jalen or, or Josh or, or Colton, you know, guys getting in, getting time and getting better. Um, you know, that's really the only way to improve is to get those live snaps. So it's cool to see guys getting that already. Important, I guess to finish strong and do your believe that momentum of care is over from one year to the next? Yeah, definitely. Um, you know, obviously like these last three games are still going to be on tape. You know, they're still, and I felt football games, um, all 32 teams are going to watch them. So I think you still want to put out a great product and improve and get better at your craft. And that's my goal, these last three games, and obviously to win, you know, if we go out and play a football game, the goals to win, that's what we're going to try to do. How do you feel you'd like to be progressed? What do you feel like you've progressed the most? And what are some of your, as you kind of feel like I've got to get better at football? Yeah, I mean, I think in no terms overall, just kind of knowledge of scheme and, um, just sort of, sort of feel for the game, I think has been a lot better and certain techniques. I felt like I've made a few jumps, you know, from when I started out as a guard. Um, you know, there's certain areas with pad level and punch, you know, I think it can be better at too. Um, so just kind of dissecting all that and trying to improve on it through the week here and then putting that on tape on Sunday. How do you approach a week when you're not exactly sure who your quarterback's going to be? Yeah, I think it's just the block for the guy who's back there. Um, both of those guys do a great job of running the offense and getting the plays in and making the right calls and, you know, it doesn't change. You still got to protect, you still got to do your job and that's what we'll do. Yeah, I'm playing in the NFL, this still is pretty cool. Uh, I thought about that this morning, by the fact.  So, you know, just got to be present and just got to be appreciative for what you do have. A lot of guys, including Elijah, just moments ago were saying, yeah, for the fans the year might be over, but for us it's not. It's about carry over. Talk about some of the things that you want to do with the course of the next three games to carry in the next year. Honestly, like, um, it ain't nothing that I can, you know, that I really want to do, like, for myself, it's just like being the best teammate I can be. That's all it's about.  But, uh, like, you know, everybody can say we build them for the future, but, like, I just want to be present and just make sure I ain't missing anything in this moment right now.


Well, it was a momentous day at Bemidji State as the training center inside the John Glass Fieldhouse was dedicated and unveiled. The facility years in the making provides an indoor training center with a full synthetic turf and a brand new weight room for athletes to use. The facility was made possible due to the generosity of Frederick P. Baker who wanted to give back after all that the university had done for him. The lack of opportunity that we had when we were here was a real handicap and I just saw an opportunity and I got a lot from Bemidji State, went to school here and got a degree and allowed me to be successful in my professions and so just wanted to give back. This facility will will enhance our recruiting, it gives it gives the student hope that when they get here they have an opportunity to get better and that's quite frankly what most student athletes want when they come to college. They've already been using that since the fall some of the high school teams even so just a big project that you know is going to make a big impact in the community. A great addition for the school.

The DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware, makers of better things for better living through chemistry, presents the Cavalcade of America. Tonight stars Lee Bowman and Ralph Bellamy. Tonight's DuPont Cavalcade, starring Ralph Bellamy as Dr. William Burton and Lee Bowman as Dr. Robert Humphries, is called Wizards of Whiting, a true story of two men of courage and conviction. It begins in 1909 in Whiting, Indiana, the home of Dr. Robert Humphries, chief chemist of the Standard Oil Company. All right, now, Claude, say, ah, ah, again. That's fine. Tomorrow, can I go fishing? Dad said we were going. It's the first time in such a long while. I am afraid not, young man. You're going to be in bed tomorrow and for quite a few tomorrows after that. Well, it'll be some other time, Claude. It's just my rotten luck. You'll have plenty of time for fishing. First job, though, is to get well. Yes, sir. I'll see you tomorrow. I'd rather see a fish. Claude, I'm sorry. Oh, Bob, I'm glad you're home early. Hello, dear. Dr. Winslaw. Someone sick around here? Oh, it's Claude. He came home from school with a fever. Just the beginning of a cold. Nothing to worry about. Well, good afternoon. Good afternoon, doctor. Goodbye, doctor. Thank you so much for coming. Oh, not at all, not at all. Oh, don't bother. I'll find my way out. Well, that's tough luck, Claude. Don't worry about it, though. We'll go fishing next week. Yes, it is bad luck, honey. Yeah. Whiting luck. Whiting luck? It's typical of all that's happened to us ever since we came to Whiting. One bad break after another. I knew it was wrong the day we first landed here. Oh, Whiting's all right. All right. Why, it's nothing but an oil refinery stuck out on the sand dunes. I'm sick of it. I want to get back to Virginia to breathe clean air again. And why shouldn't we go? What's to be gained by staying here? You've done very well here, Bob. You've been promoted to chief chemist, head of the department. Head of the department? The department that does what? Have we done one solid, clean job of petroleum research? In nine years, what have we done? Analyze greases, worked on a wax paper drinking cup, a metal match of absolutely no practical use. How does that sound for nine years of petroleum research? And do you think it'll be any better nine years from now, because it won't? Oh, Bob, what is it you want to do? I want to get out, get away. Oh, darling. My mind's made up, Adelaide. We're going home to Virginia. I'll see Dr. Burton tomorrow. I'm going to resign.  That's right, Dr. Burton, my resignation. Well, it's a nice document, neatly typed. I'm dead serious about this. I'm sure you are, Bob. I've never known you to be anything but serious, too serious sometimes. You've got to learn to relax, take things a little easier. That's exactly what I intend to do in Virginia. I can't stop you, Bob. Wouldn't if I could. But it's a shame. Why? Any chemist could do what I've been doing in the laboratory. You don't need a man with a PhD to run routine analysis jobs. That's right. I don't. I didn't need a PhD nine years ago, and I called you here to writing. But I wanted a top chemist. I wanted him in the plant. I wanted to prove that a PhD could do a job in industry. 10 years ago, when I came here to writing, and I walked in, I remember as if it were yesterday, and I walked in the first day, the plant superintendent looked me up and down and said, who are you?  What's the point? Just this. 10 years ago, a man with a college degree in chemistry was a freak in this business. Even today, we chemists aren't quite accepted in the plant. But I believe that sooner or later, the petroleum industry will stand or fall on the basis of how much we chemists had learned about this grimy, slimy, evil-smelling stuff called petroleum. Oh, that's just my point. I accepted your offer with Standard Oil because I believed it would give me an opportunity to do some real, basic, solid petroleum research, and I haven't had it. Bob, in your rush down here to hand in your resignation, you didn't by any chance stop to buy yourself a morning paper, did you? No, I didn't. It's a news item from Detroit. Ever hear of Henry Ford? He makes motor cars. That's right. He's just announced that he's standardized his Model T. He's going into mass production. Here's what he says. I will make a motor car for the multitude. How many to figure Henry Ford can sell? The story is that he'll produce about 20,000 this year alone. Bob, by the end of next year, there's going to be over half a million motor cars on the roads. And that figure will double and double again in five years. There's only one thing that'll hold back the automobile. Fuel. That's right, fuel. Gasoline. It's going to be pretty hard fueling 20,000 automobiles with the amount of gasoline available. Hard? Let's say it's impossible. Bob, someone somewhere has to find out how to get more gasoline out of crude petroleum. Our best techniques today give us a gasoline yield of only 18%. It's not near enough. The only way to get more is to try to convert some of the heavier oil fractions into gasoline. That's right. How? Bob, you've been begging for this. Now here's your chance. What? That's right. But now wait a minute. I want to make sure that I have this exactly right. Are you assigning me the job of developing a method of increasing the gasoline yield from crude petroleum? That's right. A full-scale research project? By all means. Bob, I'm writing you a blank check. I have some ideas myself. You might start by trying heat and pressure and selected charging stocks. Get whatever you need. Do whatever you believe needs doing. I'll have to clear the project with Buck Ross at the plant, but you can count on me. I'll work with you and for you. How does that sound? Like music. Sweet and beautiful music. What about your resignation? Forget it. Tear it up. Virginia, that's where Gates, with your ice-gates? Yeah. Well, I guess I can give them away. Well, why should you? Well, what do I need with ice-gates in Virginia? That's the sound. Well, darling, it's not that far, sir. Oh, here's Dad now. Hello. Where's everybody? We're in here. Hello, Claude. How are you feeling? Much better, Dad. Oh, that's swell. Oh, what's going on, Adelaide? Did a hurricane hit the living room? Almost. I'm packing. Unpacking? Oh. Yeah, we're sticking. What happened, Bob? Something just wonderful, darling. A new project, really new, exciting. What is it? Research. We're going to try to find some way to increase the gasoline yield from crude petroleum. Oh, just what does that mean, Bob? It means that at last I'll have the chance to do what I want to do, work in basic research, pure research. But I don't understand, Bob. Isn't there just so much gasoline in petroleum, just a certain percentage? If that's all there is, how can you get any more? Well, look, Adelaide, it's easy to understand. Crude petroleum is made up of a number of different oils, fractions, we call them. Gasoline is one of the lightest fractions. Now, our idea is to take some of the heavier oils and try to make gasoline out of them. How? By heat and pressure. Break up the heavy molecules into lighter ones. Oh, Bob, won't that be dangerous? Can't the oil explode? Don't worry, honey. There's no danger at all. All right, I can't tell you what a lift this has given me. I feel like a new individual, someone going someplace. I feel just the opposite. Like someone going no place. Oh, well, I guess I don't have to worry about my ice skates after all. Sholes, more heat under those pipes. We need a hotter fire. The pipes will burst. Hey, Roger. Yes, sir. Did you check the results of the last run? Yes, yes, I've got the figure. Well? No luck. Gasoline percentage was about 18% and a pretty poor quality. Turn it off, Sholes. It's no use. Good. Well, it's pretty obvious we're not getting anywhere by passing oil through these heated tubes and it just doesn't work out. Nothing seems to work out. I can't understand it. Theoretically, we're sound. The application of extreme heat should crack the high boiling point fractions of petroleum into low boiling point fractions.  We should be able to crack it out. The trouble is the oil distills off before cracking takes place. Yeah, that's right. If we could only hold it in a still until it reaches the cracking point. Hold it in. Seal it in. How? Well, there's only one way by pressure. You can't put oil under high heat and pressure. Why not? Well, it's obvious. Distillation of oil needs temperatures ranging as high as 600 to 780 degrees Fahrenheit. What would happen to the still when you get your oil that hot and subject to pressure? The rivets will give way. Your coke will form on the bottom. The still will blow on us. How do you know? Well, it's obvious. Oh, nothing is obvious unless it's tried. Schultz. Yes? Schultz, you're a top still man. The best? Naturally.  It'll be gas-fired and strong enough to take terrific pressure. Can you do it? Build it? Yeah, that I can do. But run it? Well, that's something else again. We'll worry about that later. Right now, let's get it built. What's our pressure, Rogers? 15 pounds. Schultz, temperature reading? 500 degrees plus. More heat. Dr. Humphries, please. More heat. All right.  What's the matter here? Dr. Humphries, as plant superintendent, I'm ordering you to shut down that still and in a hurry. Dr. Burton. I'm sorry, Bob. You'll have to do what Ross says. But I don't understand.  I should say so, Mr. Ross. Bob, I'm sorry. Ross here is in charge of the plant. He says we'll have to call it quits. Call it quits? Well, we've just started it. At five pounds pressure, we got some cracking, not much, but a little. At 10 pounds, we did better. Now we're at 15 pounds, and we're really getting results. Yeah, you're getting results all right. This whole plant's on the verge of shutting down. But why? Because the men know what you're doing, even if you don't. You're aiming to blast this plant to Lake Michigan. That's what? Nothing has happened. Oh, no, not yet, me. But plenty will happen if you keep on going. You can't heat oil under high temperature and pressure. Can't be done. The newest apprentice in the plant knows it can't be done. The men are quitting. I don't blame them. Dr. Burton? I'm sorry, Bob. Really sorry. But I'm in no position to overrule Ross. We'll have to suspend the project. The DuPont cavalcade continues, starring Ralph Bellamy as Dr. William Burton and Lee Bowman as Dr. Robert Humphries. It is the year 1912. Over a million automobiles are already on the road. But the whole future of this new and thriving industry is suddenly threatened by an ever-increasing gasoline shortage. In the refinery of the Standard Oil Company, Dr. Robert E. Humphries, trying to solve the problem, has been forced to suspend his experiments because of the fear of explosion. We haven't walked together in the evening like this in a long time, Bob. Why am I so restless, Adelaide? Why do I always feel that I'm drifting? You didn't feel that way when you were working on your oil-cracking experiment. No, that was something solid. Good. I had the feeling I was going somewhere. Bob, I want you to leave. What? Just temporarily. I think maybe you need a rest, a change. There's that chemistry meeting at Wabash, Indiana. Why don't you go? Are you trying to get rid of me? I certainly am. Why? Well, because I think it would do you a world of good. You always enjoyed talking shock with other chemists, swapping ideas. Maybe you'll come back with some new information, something that'll give you another star. Come with me. Oh, I should say not. I get enough about chemistry from one man in my life. Imagine having to listen to dozens. Hmm. Dr. Kempland? That's right.  Not at all. Sit down. Go on with your lunch, please. I'm a Humphreys of Standard Oil. Oh, yes, I've heard of you. It's a pleasure to meet you. Have some coffee? No, thank you. Dr. Kempland, I was in the audience at the panel you conducted this morning. As I understood what you said, you claimed to have distilled petroleum fractions in your laboratory, distilled them under pressure with steam up to 50 pounds. That's right. And no explosion. I'm still here. Well, how big a still do you use, Dr? Oh, naturally, only a small one. Very small, just a laboratory still. Well, would it work on a larger scale? And do you think we might get even higher pressures without danger of explosion? Well, that I can't say. But I have a suggestion. Yes? Build a bigger still. Run higher pressures. Find out.  You're supposed to be on a vacation. Yeah, I just got back. Dr. Burton, you've heard of Dr. Kempland. Yes. I met him in Wabash. He swears on a stack of Bibles that he's been able to distill petroleum fractions in his lab under steam to 50 pounds pressure. Bob, listen. It's 50 pounds pressure and no explosion. It's interesting. It's a fact. So it all gets back to where we started, heat and pressure. It's the only way. We've got to give it another try. We only have Kempland's word that he was able to work pressure up to 50 pounds, and then only with steam and a laboratory still.  Sure he is. The fact remains that working with a large still without steam is a lot different from using his small laboratory still. One thing, a small still can be made out of a solid sheet of steel, no seams. Any large still we use will have to have sheets riveted together. Will those seams stand up under high pressure? I think they will. Can you get men to work with you? I'll get the men. What about Ross? Well, you'll have to take care of that. It's a risk, Bob. An awful risk. But I don't know of anything worthwhile that's ever come along without someone taking a risk. The situation now is so critical, the gasoline shortage will soon be so bad that I don't think it's a matter of choice anymore. It must be done. It must be tried. Then I've got your consent to go ahead with a large still. Yes. Try it again. I'll back you up with Ross. May I have your attention, please? We're going to fire up that still now. But before we do, let's get some things straight. First, let's be honest. There is a certain element of risk involved. You're right. And if any of you men want to quit, now's the time. No hard feelings, believe me. But I don't want anyone to walk off in the middle. Well, Schultz? I'm a stubborn Dutchman. I'll stick. Good. Atencent? Mato? Qualiki? Yep. What about you, Rogers? I'm ready. All right. We're starting with 50 pounds pressure. 50 pounds? And from that point, we keep going up. Going up? How high up? Until the rivets begin to bulge out of the seams. That's nice. I thought you'd like it. Now, Atencent, you watch the pressure gauge. Qualiki? Keep your eyes glued to the thermometer. If pressure's getting too high, Atencent, it'll be your job to open the valve of fraction and equalize the pressure. Qualiki, keep calling your temperatures to Schultz. He'll tell you to adjust the heat up and down as needed. Now, are we setting? All right, Schultz, let's have some heat and let's get going. Pressure, 30 pounds. 8, 590 degrees. Pressure, 45 pounds. 8, 690 degrees. Pressure, 60 pounds. 8, 720 degrees. The Humphries, this thing has gone far enough.  I'm not calling anything off, Mr. Ross. Dr. Burton has agreed to let me go ahead. Well, I phoned Burton in Chicago. He's on his way to the plant. We'll get this settled right now. That's fine. The men in the plant are getting panicked. Well, there's no reason to get panicky. We're working along carefully, step by step. You can't do it. I am doing it and getting results. Doc, you must be gone completely out of your mind. Gentlemen. Dr. Burton. What was so urgent here, Ross? You know what's happening here? Dr. Humphries intends to bring that still up to 75 pounds pressure today. Not a fact, Bob. It's a fact. Think you'll get results? I know I will. We're set to go. Fine. You're not going to let him go ahead any further, are you, Dr. Burton? Let him do it. I'm not only going to let him do it, but I'm going to stick right here and help him. OK.  But you'll have to take the responsibility. All right. I'll take the responsibility. Come on, Bob. Let's get to work. 70 pounds. 71. 72. Temperature? 740 degrees. More heat, Schultz. I want 750. Yeah, 750. Radgers, get ready to handle the valve for the run-off. All ready. 74 pounds pressure. Building. Heat. More heat. 75 pounds. Cracking point. Open the run-off valve. Bob, look at the seams. They're on fire. The rivets will give way any minute. Keep the pressure steady. Keep the heat going. Schultz, we've got to caulk the seams to stop those leaks. Oh, the seams. Climb up on top of the steel? Not me. Where are the caulking hammers? Here. I'll do it. Bob, don't. It's all right. I can do it. Just keep the steel running. Look at the way the flames are shooting from the seams. The rivets will hold. They've got to hold. Don't climb on top. Dr. Holfrist, don't do it. Don't worry about me. Just keep that fire going. Pressure. 76 pounds. Watch your pressure, Rogers. Open pressure valve. Down one pound. Are you all right up there, Bob? Watch out for that flame. I'm OK. OK. He'll never stop those seam leaks. Let's get out of here. She's going to blow. There we are. She's not going to blow. She's holding. He's stopping the leaks. It's a bad clod. Do you think you'll be able to hold your fishing pole? Sure. Well, it packs some sandwiches. Chicken, Swiss cheese, there's cake, pickles. Enough to get you both good and sick. Why? Bob! Hi. Here comes Dr. Burton. Oh, gee whiz. Every time we get started, something turns up. Claude, listen to me. No matter what happens, remember, we're going fishing. Oh, sure. Sure. Morning, Dr. Burton. Well, I'm glad to come out and give you the news. We've just checked the runoff. What do you think the gasoline ran? With a good break, 25%?  Less? More. We ran a full 35%. 35%? We've doubled the old yield, doubled the yield. Twice as much gasoline from every barrel of crude. Bob, that's just the overnight. We made two oil wells spout where just one was standing before. That's fine. Fine. It's wonderful. Thank you, dear. Now, when we go back to the plant, we've got to get started. We want new stills made. We'll have to call in engineers, arrange a production schedule, where we... What's that you got there, Claude? Fish and coals. Oh. Fish biting? Yeah. Real good. You're not saying. Caught a mess by myself yesterday. Hmm. Claude? Yes, Dr. Burton? Got another poll? Yes, sir. Good. Mrs. Humphries, will you be good enough to call my office? Tell them I won't be back. If they ask why, just say that Dr. Burton and Dr. Humphries are in conference. Can't be disturbed. Ladies and gentlemen, Dr. William Burton, who is here in the theater with us tonight, and Dr. Robert Humphries, who is listening to our broadcast, have seen great changes come to the oil industry in the 40 years since those tense dramatic days when they perfected the first successful oil cracking process at the plant of Standard Oil at Whiting Indiana and assured a constant flow of gasoline to power the wheels of America. Their achievement is typical of the many scientists and engineers in America's great petroleum industry who have made tremendous strides in the improvement and development of many new processes which have been patented. This is oil progress week. The oil industry has come a long way since its early days from stagecoaches toiling their dusty way across the country in a month, to oil powered trains that make the trip in 65 hours, from horse powered agriculture to modern farms with tractors, from the Surrey with a fringe on top, to jet planes flying faster than the speed of sound. Today, nearly four million American homes are centrally heated by oil burners, while five million more use oil space heaters. There are more service stations than there are post offices or drug stores. And behind the servicemen, behind the dealers who serve you with more than 1,000 petroleum products are 400 refineries, 150,000 miles of pipeline, 500 tankers, 2,400 barges, 100,000 railroad tank cars, and 140,000 tank trucks. The oil companies now supply five and a half million barrels of oil every day. Yet known reserves of petroleum, thanks to vigilant exploration are higher today than ever before. The oil business is big business because it has a big job to do for a big country. At the same time, it is one of the most competitive businesses known. You buy the brand of gasoline that works best in your car. You buy your fuel oil from the dealer who gives you the best service. Each dealer competes for every purchase you make. This free competition brings you greater value than ever in today's petroleum products. This is Si Harris reminding you to join us next week when the star of the DuPont Cablecade will be Margaret O'Brien. Our story, Juliet in Pigtails, tells of a little girl and her big dream and how it all came true and thereby America has a new dramatic star. Be sure to listen. Tonight's DuPont play, Wizards of Whiting, starring Lee Bowman as Dr. Humphries and Ralph Bellamy as Dr. Burton, was written by Irv Tunick. Music was composed by Arden Cornwell and conducted by Donald Boreys. The program was directed by John Zoller. Don't forget next week, Margaret O'Brien on the DuPont Cablecade of America, which comes to you from the Velasco Theater in New York and is sponsored by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. Makers of better things for better living through chemistry.
