Gun Smoke, brought to you by L&M Filters. This is it. L&M is best. Stands out from all the rest. Around Dark City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of Gun Smoke. Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad. The transcribed story of the violence that moved west with young America. And the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful. And a little lonely. Maybe the Calvary does come, but I don't like seeing them coming this way. Sowed up in sacks, laid out over their horses. Yeah, I know it just. It makes a man feel so sad and mad, too. There'll be plenty like that. Oh, that's certain. Look at him, lined up all down the street, watching. Like that Will Bailey over there. He's got more reason than some. I know his brother's in one of them sacks. Imagine him standing there, watching, wondering which one. It's an awful sad thing. Well, let's just hope there'll be no more brought in like this. Well, I'll get it.  I'll be back in a minute. Hello, Bailey. I'm sorry about your brother. Yeah, a lot of good it does. Yeah, I know how you feel. Not the cavalry will get the ones that did it. It'll take them weeks to get ready. By the time they go out, those Comanches will be nowhere near cold creek. Marshal, we're going out on our own. You better think that over, Bailey. We thought it over. And we won't bother about which engines did it either. I had to do a lot of good, wasn't it? Starting on Indian war all over again.  But I'll tell you one thing. There's one man right here in town who's going to die first. Nameless Cartwright. That's right. The one who led those boys into ambush at cold creek. Bailey, that's only a wild idea. Nameless Cartwright's always been a good, reliable scout. He came back, didn't he? He was the only one who got out alive, wasn't he? The scoutin' way out ahead. And it was his job to spot the Comanches. But he didn't. Well, there might have been reasons. Yeah, there were reasons, all right. He's a Comancheous self. Live with him, married one, rode on war parties with him. And he led that patrol into ambush for him. Killin' Cartwright's not going to help your brother. And it could get you into trouble with the war. I'll take my chances on that. All right, Bailey. Maybe in a couple of days you'll cool down and see some reason. Getting cold. Oh, thanks, Kitty. Bailey's pretty hot, isn't he? Can't say I blame him too much. No, I can't either. Too much. You think what he says about Amos is true, Matt? I think you ought to have proof before you condemn a man, Kitty.  So are a lot of others out here. That's no reason to kill him. No, of course not. Well, how is it? What? How is it? Oh, I guess I was hungrier than I thought. Oh, the cooks get a little better. I guess there's still room for improvement. Hey, Miss Cartwright. All right, don't touch your gun, Bailey. You don't stay like that. Amos, you better find someplace else to eat today. I come to see Bailey. All right, you've seen him.  I don't allow nobody to say things about me. I said him and I'll say him again. You're no better than a Comanche yourself.  And you're the same as Kello's men at Cold Creek. All right, that's enough. Come on, Amos. Mr., I'll see you later. Just outside here. Amos, this will all blow over in a couple of days, but until it does, I think maybe you better stay out of sight. Maybe out at the fore. I can take care of him. It's not just him. He's got half the town believing it. You believe it, Marshal? I don't believe anything. I don't see the proof for it. And speaking of proof, if you've got any on your side, it would help to bring it out. How do you prove something that nobody saw? Nobody alive, Eddie. Well, maybe if you ask the Colonel for a statement. I don't ask no man's help. All right, then. Be pigheaded. I might ask him myself, but you take my advice, Amos. You walk easy for a while. No need for you to bother about me, Marshal. I can handle this myself. I hope so, Amos. I hope so. Alladem's got everything. Superior filtration. Superior taste. Superior filtration because of Alladem's superior filter. White taste because of Alladem's superior tobaccos. Tasty, full of flavor, and light and mild. No doubt about it. Alladem is America's best filter tip cigarette. This is it. Alladem's got everything. It's the... The feelings are running pretty high in town, and there could be some trouble. I'm sure we're in... I just want a statement from you. What kind of statement? Ah, that Amos Cartwright didn't lead that patrol into ambush at Coal Creek. I can't give you that statement, Marshal, because I don't know if it's true... Evidence against Amos? Plausible. But I've cut him off the payroll. Won't scout for us again? Yeah, but if it weren't true, would he have come back, told the story, taken out the burial party, all that? I don't trust a man who's lived as an Indian. I don't like him. I've got other things to worry about. We're getting the stores ready for a major expedition. We're gonna put down those Comanches for good, Marshal. It can't be helped. I'll see you later, Conn. Oh, what's happened? Just what you're afraid of. Bailey and Amos where I called you. All right, let's go. He didn't give them a chance. No chance to talk. He didn't, by surprise, come up behind with a knife and slit his throat. Oh, man. Where was this? Over there with the leverage table. Must've been waiting for him to come for us. Got clean away, too, before anybody knew what happened. Amos had gone all Indian, that's a fact. I suppose he feared it was him or Bailey or it was a matter of honor or something. He doesn't have to do that, Chester. He probably headed south for Comanche territory maybe two hours ago. I guess there's not much to do about it now except tell the cavalry. They'll pick him up eventually. This isn't a military matter, Dark. It's my job. Matt, you can't go down there now with all this Indian trouble. I don't tell you how to set bones, Dark. We're going after him, Mr. Dillon? I am. You don't have to. I'll go get our saddle back.  Maybe if I'd used it before, Bailey wouldn't be dead. Shot Indian pony. Oh, why would an Indian be trailing Amos? I don't know. And why is Amos wandering like he can't make up his mind where to go? Well, I thought he was heading for the Washtaw. Now he's veered west.  Now, he's leaving to plane a trail for that. He doesn't expect anybody to come after him down here. Quite a view from up here, Mr. Dillon. See you for a long way. You see, Amos? Mr. Dillon. What? That Indian pony stopped here and stood. Probably looking out there. Watch your name, Miss. And then turned off and went that way. Yeah, but running. See how the prints dig in and stretch out. What do you think that means, Mr. Dillon? Probably means trouble, Chester. We better find Amos quick. Come on. Double his hill. I reckon we might be getting close. He's down there, Chester, making camp. You see that movement in the willows there? That'll be his horse. He'll be over by the water. And he sure could have fooled me. Come on. We'll stay behind the hill. We'll circle in quarter and crosswind. Yes, sir. Cut our horses in the willows with aimuses. You just kick that gun of a hyphen, too. You think you can get me back to Dodge, Marshal? I think so. It's command she country, you remember? Maybe you're banking too much on that, Amos. Maybe. Get yourself into, Amos. Is it? Yeah, I'd say so. Now, on one side, you've got all the white men hating you. On the other side, I shouldn't think the Comanches would be too fond of you either. Why not? Like Bailey said, I'm most one myself. Yeah, but there were Comanches killed at Coal Creek, too. Some. I must know that you've been scouting for the blue coats, huh? Well, it don't matter. They don't hold no grudge against scouts. As long as you scout against their enemies, the Cheyenne or the Apaches are one of the others, but you led the cavalry against your own tribe. I wasn't smart. Ain't worried, Marshal. You're the one out of me. Maybe.  Not exactly. Just trying to understand you. It's a hard choice to turn against your own kind. I'd like to know what makes a man do that. Now, if you knew the way it was, I can remember the day it was like this. It was towards dusk. I left the horses three of my best. Right out front of her father's lodge. Never waited so anxious in all my life. And then he'd come up and took my horses into his herd. That meant you were accepted. Married. And we lived fine. I had a lodge of 14 skins. I brought meat to her family. I took koo. I was respected. Loved. And it was good. It was all good. Why'd you leave these?  Amos, that cold crick. Did you lead the cavalry into ambush? I didn't lead them. But I knew. You knew the ambush was there and you didn't warn them. I couldn't. It had just been the other way around. They were my friends' relatives, people I'd lived with. Whatever I did, it had been wrong. So you ran away and did nothing. But a man's got to make his choice, Amos. And they're failing to whack you majors. Maybe. Coming back to Dodge was a mistake. If you'd have stayed out, you might have been taken for dead and forgotten. And now you've gone too far. Kellan Bailey, the way you did it. Now there's no choice now. There's only Dodge and a noose. You ain't got me back to Dodge yet, Marshal. Maybe you ain't going to. Huh? Yeah, I see what you mean. What does he mean? Take a look, Chester, coming over the brow of that far hill there. Glory be. All right, come on, get on. I'm sorry. It's a war party. Ain't a big one. I say it must be 50 or more. Amos. Cremante's all right. You lose, Marshal. Maybe we all do. The thousands of smokers who are changing to Ellendem every day to the millions who now smoke Ellendem, here is your assurance. Ellendem gives superior filtration because of its superior filter. Superior taste because of Ellendem's superior tobaccos. Yes, Ellendem tobaccos are tasty, full of flavor, and light and mild. And Ellendem's superior filter is the purest tip that ever touched your lips. It's white, all white. Truly the miracle tip because when it's added to Ellendem's superior tobacco, it actually tones up the taste. Actually improves your enjoyment of this great cigarette. Yes, Ellendem's got everything. Superior taste, superior tobacco, superior filter. That's why it's America's best filter tip cigarette. Try Ellendem today. Looks a terrible war like to me. Just riding easy like there's out for a breath of air. Circling, they know we're here. If they had to decide to rush us, we wouldn't have a chance. Well, that's one thing we could do something about, Justin. What?  Oh my goodness gracious, what for? Those Indian ponies will bark when they smell the blood. That'd stop a charge. We could use their bodies for cover. But Mr. Dillon out here thought no horses. Well, maybe it won't be necessary. Hamas, you recognize any of them? Yeah, that one out front on the pie ball. That's Buffalo tongue. It's my brother-in-law. They've stopped the horses. Well, wait a minute. You might need your horses. Yeah, sure, but I doubt we'll ever get a chance to use them. Maybe they don't know you're here. You keep out of sight and wait for dark, maybe just ours. What do you think, Hamas? I'm thinking about that noose back in Dodge. And I'm thinking you're wrong about them comanches. That's my wife's brother out there, Marshal. I've ridd beside him on many a party. Now see, he coming down alone. Well, that's true, Mr. Dillon, he is. Hamas, I'm warning you. Even if you're right, it'd be me they're looking for. If they don't even know you're here. No, Hamas. Marshal, three men can't stand against fifty comanches. All right. It's like you said a man makes a choice. Wait, Hamas, come back. Mr. Dillon. Keep your answers. But Mr. Dillon... That's all we can hope for now. But he's our prisoner. He was our prisoner. Now we'll see. His brother now has stopped. He's... Mr. Dillon. Hamas, look out. No, no, no, Mr. Dillon. No. Chester, don't stay down. It's too late. Our guns won't do Hamas any good now. We gotta think about ourselves. I know that, but... Wait a minute. They turn in a way without another look. Mr. Dillon, they don't know about us. They know, but they don't care. We chance that, Chester. Hamas. No, no, don't, Marshal. Not yet. It's gotta come out, Hamas. Here, I'll cut the shots. No. After. In a minute or so. It won't matter. Marshal. He didn't even bother... He didn't even bother to take crew. It just... He didn't even seem to notice us. There wasn't a battle, Chester. There was an execution. It was awful having to stand by. Like he said, a man has to make a choice. Yes, sir. Mr. Dillon, what do you mean? They didn't even bother to take crew. The scalp.  When an Indian won't even claim his crew or touch the body. You reckon he knew what might happen? Yeah, I think so, Chester. Maybe it was better than noose. Yeah. Maybe it was. All right, come on, Chester. We got things to do. This is William Conrad. As you may know, gun smoke is going into it's second year on radio.

The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents this is your FBI This is your FBI the official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation transcribed and presented as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society is representative in your community Tonight we have in our radio audience thousands of people who will be listening for the middle commercial all because of a postcard Yes, a postcard. They received in the mail this morning from a representative of the Equitable Life Assurance Society But whether you received a postcard from your equitable man or not the Equitable Society and its representatives Urge you to listen to tonight's middle commercial. It's an important message describing the Equitable Society's independent 60s plan a practical workable plan for people who want to be independent at the age of 60 I'll be back in approximately 14 minutes to give you full information on this special plan Offered by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States Tonight's FBI file the transatlantic shakedown In the old days before there was such a thing as the Federal Bureau of Investigation Crime was a localized affair It was possible in those days if the crime was discovered soon enough To isolate an entire community until the criminal had been apprehended And even in those instances where he made good his escape The criminal could not get very far because the means of transportation at his disposal were meager Even if he lived in one of the nation's largest cities Today however, all of that has changed in this age of jet propulsion It is possible for a man to commit a crime in one city and for him to take refuge in another city 3,000 miles away Before the very crime has been discovered It is true that the progress made in transportation has also Made it easier for the special agents of your FBI to cover a tremendous amount of territory But the greater advantage has come to the criminal For he and he alone is the one who decides the exact moment at which a crime will be committed Because he is by occupation an opportunist He chooses that moment which will afford him the greatest lapse of time Between his crime and the beginning of the search for him Tonight's case from the files of your FBI for example is international in scope because of that ease of modern-day travel And takes us first to the city of eternal gaiety Paris Tonight's file opens in an elevator which is slowly climbing to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris The elevator operator also acts as guide The time is clear today and when we arrive on the first floor in a moment you can see just for 30 kilometers At your right you see the oldest Isn't this a beautiful view mother? Yes, Pa. All right, but at 5 kilometers I I don't understand all this. Oh coming here. Yes. I have a very special reason I'll explain it when we get to the top Very well Look, there's a hotel. Oh Goodness, I forgot now clearly things could be seen from here Wait there, let's go this way where we can be alone. All right Take a good look you may not see Paris again for quite some time What do you mean? We're leaving But for where the States? Paul I've got to go back to see Don Jackson But you just went to London to clear up the Jackson matter. I went to London to see Mr. Jackson's representative What happened? He wanted to settle my entire claim against Don Jackson for five thousand dollars Why that's ridiculous. That's what I told him and He got very angry. He threatened me and well, I was forced to use violence That's why I've got to go back to see Don Jackson in person Just because you had a fight with his representative mother. I killed him a Few days later back in the United States in an FBI field office Agent Keith Thompson approaches the desk of special agent Jim Taylor Jim I just got your note. Oh, hi Keith. What's this stuff about a closed file? That's what we're working on a closed case That's right closed since 1945. Well at last. This is the case. I've been waiting to work on one That's already been solved. Oh, it's not that simple Keith. This is a file on a man named Paul Black The first entry we have is dated July 11th 1935 Now on that date we received a complaint that Paul Black had possibly swindled two old women out of some real estate in this city What kind of real estate Jim? They owned the terminal building here Oh, but the time they discovered that black was a swindler He had sold the property to a man named Don Jackson a Jackson swore that he bought it in good faith So the only chance the women had to recover their money was to ask the courts to intervene and set aside the transaction And I assume that when prosecution was started black was among the missing mm-hmm We made a rather complete search for him, but no lead turned up for three years, which would have been 1938 That's right. Well at that time we found that he'd gone to France in some way He had managed to get himself a passport in his own name. No used an alias We notified the French your day, but they had no success in locating him then came the war and early in 1945 We got a report on black from the army our army Yeah, as they were moving through France toward the German border. They found the body of a man who carried the identification papers of Paul Black Body was terribly mutilated, but the identification papers carried his picture So they sent that picture back to this country. Well, was it identified as black? That's right Well, they buried him we made a notation on his file that he was dead and the file was closed I don't understand what we're doing with it now Jim two days ago Washington got a routine report from Scotland yard to check some fingerprints Keith Those prints belong to Paul Black How could that be? Well, that's what the SAC wants us to find out Here's the whole file right here. Let's go through it again and see if we can find an answer to that Is that you mother? Yes, dear. How was your walk? Very enjoyable fine Have you spoken to Don Jackson yet? No, I called but he wasn't in oh His secretary said she'd have him call me Paul you'd be amazed at the way things have changed since we left new buildings new stores Say do you remember that bank that was closed and somebody turned it into one of those speakeasies? It's a bank again And you should see the place right across Hello That's right Hello, Don. Who is this Paul black? Paul black I Didn't think it would be very smart to leave my name at your office. So I just left the number I see I'd appreciate you're canceling any appointments you have for the next hour or so down Why because I'm going to pay you a visit and I think you'll want to see me alone I just got that report from Scotland yard on Paul black indirectly it was about a man named John Ross Who's he on American who was found dead in a London Hotel room 10 days ago? Paul blacks fingerprints were found in that room was this Ross murdered apparently one thing that hasn't been found yet Though is his passport? You know, I think black might attempt to use it. How about notifying immigration? I already have they're going to be on the lookout for him. I ran down elite myself Oh, what was it? I checked on blacks wife I tried to find some indication on whether she left the country with him any results Yeah, I found a bank account in her name at the security national the last deposit was made shortly before black disappeared He left in a hurry didn't he Jim? Yeah Well if she left the account that would indicate that she went with him and I'd say we could assume that if he's coming back So is she mmm Keith Why don't you call the bank and ask them to call you if Mrs. Black shows up for the money? I've already covered that Oh, it's well. Oh our records also show that she also had a favorite beauty shop and a favorite dressmaker You might check on them too. We'll do meanwhile. I'll wait here for some word from the code room What's doing up there? They're decoding a message that came in from the Paris your day a little while ago on this case Yes, and as soon as that message is decoded and translated we should have a lot more information on mr. Paul black Mr. Jackson yes, miss Crawford. What is it and mr. Black to see you? I Them come in. Yes, sir. You may come in mr. Black. Thank you miss Hello, Don. Hello. It's good to see you again My my you haven't changed a bit. I was just saying to my wife this morning. I wonder if done Paul let's get this over with as soon as possible Very well did a representative of mine contact you from London a man named Ross. Yes, I saw him Did he offer you a cash settlement? Yes, but I turned the offer down. Why? $5,000 isn't a very fair settlement Paul you've been blackmailing me for 14 years now Just this morning. I compiled my payments to you. They total more than $55,000 you figures are very accurate and how much more do you want from me? Well, let's explore my assets I don't have to remind you that if I were to let the police come into possession of certain papers You'd go to the police. Oh, I could do it without revealing my own identity and if I did This building would not only be returned to those two old ladies. We Acquired it from but you'd be in jail. Do you realize that John? Yes Splendid then I'd say I want another $50,000 50 felt that's my price. That's a fortune That's why I wanted and I wanted in cash by tomorrow afternoon Keith I think I found something that might help us we can use it I started to check into the background of John Ross the man who was murdered in London I found that he used to work for a man here in town named Don Jackson. He's the one who owns the terminal building Mm-hmm, and as you recall he bought it from black That's interesting. Well, I called Jackson's office a little while ago, but he was in conference His secretary said that she'd contact me as soon as he was through good Jim I've just finished going over this report from the Paris suretake and and we know now for sure that Paul black is Back in this country. How they located the missing passport of John Ross They did where in the hands of a black market passport operator in Paris and under questioning this operator admitted that he made a deal with Paul Black on he took the Ross passport from black and gave him one in the name of Howard pool That pins the murder on black But why do you say we know that he's back in this country now because I checked immigration and their records show that a Howard pool flew from France to New York this week. That was Paul black, of course using the forged passport Special Agent Taylor speaking. Hello, Mr. Taylor. This is Miss Crawford. Mr. Don Jackson secretary. Oh, yes, Miss Crawford Something terrible has happened. Mr. Jackson just committed suicide We will return in just a minute to tonight's exciting case from the official files of your FBI Tonight on the 8th of July when we stand midway between America's Independence Day July 4th and France's Independence Day on July 14 Seems a specially suitable time to invite you to take advantage of the equitable society's famous independent 60s plan The equitable society created this plan for self-reliant Americans who want to keep on being Independent after they reach the age of 60 who want to be self-supporting and self-respecting when it's time for them to retire Many equitable members who have cashed in on this plan live in spots where the weather is ideal all year long My wife and I make our home in Asheville, North Carolina What a climate cool all summer never cold and winter people who have retired on equitable Independence 60s plans can afford to travel they've time for their hobbies my hobby is my workshop down in the basement You ought to see some of the furniture I've built since I retired and to think that for years I thought I couldn't afford a plan like this. What do you mean? I thought you had to be rich to go in for an independent 60s plan What opened your eyes my equitable society representative? He showed me that I was already halfway towards independent 60s Thanks to social security and the life insurance. I already own that's a fact in many cases only a small amount of additional insurance Is required to enable a man to look forward with complete confidence to Independent 60s a few extra dollars a week did it for me So why not see your equitable representative without delay phone him soon or send a postcard care of this station to the Equitable Society that's equi ta BLE the equitable life insurance society of the United States And I'm back to the FBI file the transatlantic shakedown The Federal Bureau of Investigation has under its jurisdiction the enforcement of some 120 federal statutes Statutes which cover crimes ranging alphabetically from arson to willful murder All of those crimes are prosecuted with equal vigilance For no crime can be said to be less serious than another When any of them might and frequently does involve the lives of decent human beings However, it is doubtful if the special agents take as much personal interest in apprehending any criminal as they do in bringing to justice The most despicable of the lawbreakers the extortioner Here is a man who prays on the weaknesses of his fellow human beings and who in almost every instance is more ruthless than even a professional killer As you have seen in tonight's case from the files of your FBI There are no lengths to which the extortioner will not go No crime. He will not commit to maintain his point of vantage In tonight's case it so happens that the extortion victim was himself a criminal, but that is rare For the most part the victim is a decent, but thoroughly frightened citizen If by any chance you are being victimized by a blackmailer Your FBI advises you to take the only course of action that is open to you The only course of action which will free you and at the same time defeat the blackmailer That course of action is To call your local police Tonight's file continues in the apartment of mr. and mrs. Paul black Yes, mother. Oh, I didn't see you Why you're not dressed yet. I know But you said to hurry home so we could go to dinner and a show mother the roof has fallen in What I called Don Jackson's office this afternoon to find out when to pick up the money. Didn't he have it? He'd committed suicide What a dreadful thing to do to you. You don't know how dreadful we spent all our money to get over here mother We haven't enough left to get even one of us back to Paris. Oh, don't worry about that mother if anyone finds out that We're in this country. I have a way for us to get back to Paris. Oh, well, I was going through my trunk today I found all sorts of old things Stationary I hadn't used a list of people we sent Christmas cards to in 1934 does that get us back to Paris? I also found an old bank book an account that I have at the security bank Don't you remember that account? Yes.   Oh, yes, George. I have a message for you No, what is it? I'm mr. Hughes at the security bank called in. Oh, hey Keith Isn't that the man you went to see yesterday? That's right, Jim. What do you say George? Mrs. Black was in there about 15 minutes ago. He's saying about a man being with her No, mr. Hughes tell you whether or not Mrs. Black left any address or phone number. Yeah, here it is. Hey, fine. Thanks Keith Keith, this is what we've been waiting for. I'm gonna pay a call on Mrs. Black Mother, where are you? Where have you been? Just doing a little shopping. Did you get the money at the bank? No Not yet. Why not? That sounds like they were stalling. How can they call you mother? You told them we were living here Yes, that explains it. I heard a man at the door a little while ago. Oh Bank was probably waiting for you. They must have called the police as soon as you left Well, they must be watching our place I'll tell you what you come on home. All right, by the time you get here. I'll have something figure down Good afternoon. Are you Mrs. Mary blank? That's right. I'm a special agent of the FBI.  Taylor? Yes. Thank you now What can I do for you? We're looking for your husband, Mrs. Black My husband is dead. We have reason to believe otherwise Why he was killed during the war in a little town about a hundred miles from Paris called Compey and we believe that story at one Time to now we have definite proof that he's alive. Oh No, have you seen him not since the day he left this country 10 years ago. You weren't in Europe with him No, I'd say it's quite a coincidence that you should return here the same week that he did Mr. Taylor, I Have proof that I was not in Europe with my husband. Oh, what kind of proof? Letters letters that Paul wrote to me from the time he went away until he was killed How did he know where to write to you? Well, I moved a lot, but I always left a forwarding address May I see the letters, please? Yes, surely. I have them right here in my trunk. Oh If Paul were alive, he'd still be writing to me. I know he would Yes, here are the letters Thank you. Now this one dated January 23rd, 1945 This is the last letter received from him That was written the day before Paul was killed He wrote beautiful letters. Do you mind if I take these back to the office with me? Will you promise to return them? I promise, Mrs. Blake. I'll return them as soon as I possibly can. Thank you Goodbye. Goodbye Paul. Has he gone? Yes. Did you give him the letters? I did.  Yes, Paul. What time is it? Almost six. I won't be able to go to the bank now till tomorrow. I know Did you make reservations? Yes, our plane leaves tomorrow at noon. Well, I hope... Wait, wait, wait. I'll get the bedroom. Yes Just a minute. Good evening, Mrs. Blake. Oh Hello. May I come in, please? Surely. Thank you. I Didn't expect my letters back this soon. Men in our laboratory can work very quickly May I have them? Yes, yes, of course Here you are. I Trust they were proof enough. No, I'm afraid they weren't. What do you mean? Those letters weren't written by your husband on the dates indicated. Oh, but they were You can tell by the stationery. Some of it's so old. It's beginning to turn yellow Paul did write those letters. No, I'm not denying that But you said you and your husband counted on the fact that we would be thrown off the trail because of the age of the paper We tested it. It's quite true that the paper is as old as you say it is Well, one thing you didn't know is that our laboratory keeps a standard of every ink that's manufactured in this country The test show the ink on these letters was made in 1949. That's not true. Mrs. Black, I want your husband What? I know that he's here so you might as well surrender him And we can all discuss these letters together Paul and Mary Black were convicted for a violation of the National Stolen Property Act and sentenced to a federal penitentiary Detainers were also filed for the extradition of Paul Black to England to be tried for murder Evidence developed in the criminal proceedings was later used by the two women who were the original property holders to have the Transaction by Jackson set aside and thus they regained the property that was rightfully theirs That the clue which led to the solution of tonight's case from the files of your FBI Was supplied to special agent Taylor by the FBI crime laboratory Will come as no surprise to anyone who has followed the progress made in the field of crime investigation in that field Science has made tremendous strides and its use of such machines as the spectrograph the Geiger counter the microscope and Every other scientific aid that man has yet devised is Increasing daily in the old days. It was a rare case when the crime lab helped on a case Now it is an equally rare case when it doesn't in addition to the lab though There was an added factor which helped in the solution of tonight's case an added factor, which is of equal importance That was the close cooperation among three international law enforcement agencies Scotland Yard the French surety and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Your FBI at this time wishes not only to thank those two agencies But also to convey the hope that their future cooperation will continue to be as close as it has been in the past In just a moment, we will tell you about next week's exciting case from the files of your FBI Now two final questions on the equitable society's Independent 60s plan when I start one of these plans What happens to the life insurance I now have your equitable representative will show you how to integrate it with your plan How much in cash does this plan pay me after I'm 60 you receive a check every month the exact amount depending on your present income And your future needs it takes only a few minutes to work it out and your equitable society representative will be glad to do it for you Ask him to drop around for a friendly visit phone him soon or right care of this station to the equitable life Assurance society of the United States Next week we will dramatize another case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation a dramatic story of a criminal double-cross It's subject murder.

Okay. Well, welcome everybody to this executive director's chat. Today, we're going to be talking about DEI for small teams initiating equity for impact. My name is Aretha Simons. I'm the webinar producer here. In a moment, I'm going to introduce LaChica Phillips. She's the director of equity, inclusion and diversity and culture here at TechSoup. But before we do, for those of you who are joining us for the first time on our Zoom, let me show you how you can engage on the next slide. Basically, everybody comes in on mute. So we would love if you would stay on mute for the quality of the recording. We're going to allow you to ask questions. You can come on video or you can just use the raise your hand option to let us acknowledge you to ask your question or allow you to speak. That would be great. And I am so excited about this topic because as we were coming in, we were asking like where you are in your DEI journey. And a lot of people just like, I don't know. And that's the question I was like too. So I'm excited about this webinar. LaChica is going to tell you more about herself and what she does here at TechSoup. So I'm going to turn this over to her and welcome LaChica. Thank you for doing this webinar today. Yeah, thank you for having me. Hello, everybody. I'm so excited to see all of you here. It's been a while since I've been a part of EVCHAT. So I'm happy to see some familiar faces, some familiar names. And I'm really excited that you all have decided to join this conversation. As Aretha said, as we were getting started, folks were saying, I'm not sure where I am, my DEI journey. I'm not sure if I even do DEI work. Like, what does that mean? And I love all of those questions. And happy to be able to answer those and address some of those today. So before we get started, just a little bit about me. As Aretha said, I'm the director of equity, inclusion, diversity and culture here at TechSoup. Very rewarding position here to be able to help lead and orchestrate around equity, inclusion, diversity and culture for TechSoup, our partners, the NGOs that we serve. I realized last week that most of my career, like it really has been non-proper work. And I'm really excited about that. I love being a part of mission-driven work. And I have a passion for AI, which you'll see in a series that we have coming up. So I'm really excited to be here. DEI is my jam. I got started in this field way back in the early 2000s when I was a part of the supply diversity program. So fast forward to today. Now we are working on EIDC at TechSoup again, equity, inclusion, diversity and culture. And I'm happy to have this conversation. So today, yes, we are going to be discussing how to initiate and how to champion DEI diversity, equity and inclusion. And let me just pause for a moment because someone mentioned, well, what is DEI? And I love that question. So I think very simple is it would be, I would say that it is a group of standards, I would say a philosophy around ensuring that everyone that is part of a group, organization, community feels included and has the sense of belonging that is all around diversity, equity and inclusion. So that's when we say DEI or DEI programming, that is what we're referring to. So before we talk about, before we dive into how we can initiate that, we have to just take a moment and look at the state of DEI today. OK, and then we'll go over some terms and principles that are key to understanding how we can champion equity where we are. And then we will explore some practical tips using TechSoup as an example. And as a case study, so you will hear a lot about what TechSoup is doing. And this is really only to encourage you to inspire you to empower you to do some of these same things at your organization. Or maybe you get an idea from some of the things that we will share. So really excited for that. We will always have time for Q&A throughout this conversation. This is ED Chat. So this is not me chatting with you to you, right? This is us having a conversation. So I strongly encourage you to put your questions in chat throughout this conversation. But we will have time for Q&A at the end. And before we go, I'm going to make sure that you have some practical tips and an outline for how you can take action, OK, with where you are, because that's going to be very, very important. And so before we dive in, I just have to have this disclaimer, right? So I am not a legal advisor. I'm not an attorney. I'm not a human resources executive or specialist. That is not my specialty. And this is not legal advice. We are not experts of DEI. But we have, however, started our internal journey, right? Our journey for DEI and EIDC at TechSoup, like many of you. And we want to share our lessons and our insights with you with hopes. Like I said before, that you are inspired to take action, right? And to initiate and implement equity where you are. That's going to be very important. All right, so let's take a look at the state of DEI. I'm sure some of this may not be new to you. But according to some recent reports, the overall sentiment around the current state of diversity, equity, and inclusion is that those efforts seem to either be stagnated or people are fatigued, burned out. And there's always, or not always, but there have been recently some persistent issues around political restrictions and restraints that we have pertaining to DEI. You've seen this across the country here in the US. There are some states that are limited. Some organizations are limited as to what you can do. So this is the current state of DEI. And I'm curious to know, is any of this resonate with any of you today? Have you heard about DEI fatigue? Are you familiar with people saying that they are burned out around equity initiatives? Right? Are you aware that there's been a decrease in momentum and funding for DEI initiatives, especially since 2020? How many of you remember when 2020 was here and here in the United States, and there were so many initiatives popping up all over the country? Well, not just the country, but really all over the world. And it seems that fast forward to today, 2024, some of that has really kind of slowed down. Do you all resonate with that at all? Let me check the chat. And then the political restrictions, are you all seeing that in your area? Let me see if I can go here and chat and see. Because again, this is EDChad, I'm just gonna make sure. Yes, I'm seeing, yes, yes, yes, you're seeing this, yes. So that's important to be aware of, right? Because if you are in the process of implementing equity initiatives and you're not aware of the current state, it can be very challenging, right? So just arm yourself with this knowledge. I can, like I said, I will share this presentation so you can take a look at these articles and these reports. And there are many, many more out there, right? But this is important for all of us to be aware of. So our solution, TechSoup solution to this is to engage in conversations like this, right? And to engage in collaboration and sharing the practical ways to champion equity in the sector. And again, we're not experts. We are just simply sharing our journey to help you and to help give you some ideas for what you can do, where you are in your organization. And as I mentioned before, this is a part of a series of webinars, a series of EDChad. And so we'll have another one in May and then one in June. Hope that you can sign up for that. We'll have information at the end. And before we dive into these foundational equity principles, just wanna see if I've missed any questions. Is there anything that we need to address before moving forward? Yeah, I like that Mark said that he's from Idaho and he said his legislature is taking actions to forbid DEI. And someone else said the same thing is happening in the UK. So interesting. Yeah, it's happening. And we just, we have to be aware. And I think that having conversations like this will prompt, well, I think it will encourage creativity, prompt some creativity, because I think that there are some ways that we can maneuver and we can navigate even when the climate is the way that it is. I think that we can still be impactful and still have some meaningful initiatives, which is again, why you all are here, right? So that's really, really great. So let's move on to foundational equity principles. And so looking at just laying groundwork with principles and terms, I think it's very important to understand the difference between equity and equality, right? So think about equality. Equality means to provide the same resources or opportunities to everyone. And that can sometimes mean that something or someone is overlooked, right? And that the fact that people start from different places due to various reasons. So that would be equality. Now, equity would involve acknowledging those various differences that I spoke about a minute ago, just acknowledging those and allocating resources and opportunities based on specific needs of individuals or communities or groups to ensure an equal outcome, meaningful results. And I know for a while there was an image floating around. It's somewhat similar to what you have here on the screen. So on the screen, I have an image, the showing is demonstrating with graphics, equality and equity. And so in the first image representing equality, you see that everyone, regardless of their height, regardless of where they are, everyone has the same size block to stand on. That is equality. Everybody has the same thing. Everyone is equal. Looking at equity, though, equity, however, says, okay, we recognize that everyone is different. And so for each person or for each difference, we have support. So that now everything, everybody is equitable because now everyone has what they need in order to have that desired equitable outcome. And in this case, it's to view a game, some sporting game, okay? And looking at inclusion and diversity, so with looking at inclusion and diversity, equity principles emphasizes the importance of including diverse voices, different voices, different backgrounds and perspectives in all levels of the organization and from staff and leadership to board members and all stakeholders. This diversity should reflect the community's serve and it helps to ensure that programs and policies are relevant and effective. And so I think this is a perfect time for me to pause and just to share with you why the TechSoup called their DEI program, EIDC. I absolutely love this question and it was very intentional. And so with naming the program at TechSoup, it was important for us to prioritize equity. So that's why you see equity person in our program named EIDC. So equity, prioritizing equity to ensure inclusion, to bring meaning to diversity, to build culture. So that is where we are at TechSoup and our naming convention for our programming. And then looking at cultural conferences, it's important for organizations to develop cultural conferences, right? Understanding and respect for the cultures and experiences of staff, of the stakeholders. And this involves active listening, active learning about those cultures, engaging with community members and decision-making processes and tailoring services to meet those unique needs. So that's what we're thinking about. We're talking about cultural competence. And then continuous learning and adaptation, recognizing that it is a journey. It is not a one-stop destination, right? We are continuously learning. We are continuously evolving and adapting. And so I just wanna encourage you to think about that. How are you continuing your learning of these different aspects and concepts? And I just have to ask, while we're here talking about these principles, are there other four principles that come to mind when you think about equity principles? Are there other, I can think of one. I can think of one. What about accessibility? Is that not a foundational equity principle? Accessibility, right? Can you all think of any more or any more? And I'm gonna check the chat to make sure. And did I miss anything from chat? I just wanna make sure I didn't miss anything, Arisa. No, but while you were talking, I was thinking about accessibility. I was thinking about accessibility as well for the hearing impaired and also for people who are visually, who can't read on the screen. But there was some comments from Kathy and Mark and I would love for them to at the end to unmute themselves to talk about this. They both serve in New Hampshire and in two states, New Hampshire and Vermont, and they have two different perspective legislatively on DEI. And they said it creates challenges to carry out their mission consistently. That's pretty deep, huh? It is, it is, it is deep. And I'm just, I'm here to say that I hear you and I do think that this is an opportunity, this is a time and a season for those of us who are serious about this work to be creative. Creative and collaboration and intentionality is the key to this today. That is it. That is how, and we'll get to all of that. I'm loving this, yes, yes, yes, yes. So we will get to that. And I would love to hear from other people how they have been creative in moving the needle, right? So I'm really, really happy to see the engagement in chat. LaChica, a few questions. Mark says, respect for immigrants from other countries. Yes, see that goes, that goes with cultural competence. Absolutely. It's also inclusion and diversity, absolutely, absolutely. Yes, yes. Okay, well, we answered that. We have those, yes, we do. And so now I would love for us to start looking at, because I just talked about, this is the time for us to be creative. It's time for us to start partnering with other people. And so how can we do this, right? How can we do this? So I wanna talk about some tips of how we can do this. And again, preface thing that we're not experts, right? But TechSoup has done something, you know? And we think that we can share those, and like I said, and in hopes that maybe you're inspired by something, maybe not to do the exact same thing that we did. I don't know. But hoping that some ideas start sparking, you know, as we continue. So for nonprofit executive directors, wanting to integrate or expand equity principles in their organizational culture, practical steps, you know, as we've said before, it's gonna be, it's key for meaningful implementation, right? And for impact. So when developing or maybe revamping your strategic approach, I want to just give you these tips, okay? So first, looking at leadership and allyship. The first thing that we did, the EIDC team at TechSoup, is before we just started coming up with ideas and thinking about initiatives, what we did is we decided to identify at least two senior leaders who were dedicated to supporting these initiatives with us within the organization, right? Kind of like, in some organizations, you may call that an executive sponsor. You may even call that an ally. But it's gonna be very important that you do that. You identify other people within your organization. And sometimes you can find some external contact, some external connect to help you to be able to collaborate and to help move the needle. But that's gonna be very key. Also think about within your organization what teams and what people will you need to collaborate with in order to make the events happen or the activities happen? But what does that look like? I know for us, it was very important for us to partner with our marketing team, as I am here right now with Aretha, right? That was very important for us to have that connection in the very beginning. And so if you have already started your journey and you're looking to revamp, then just take a step back and think about who within the organization should we be connected with or will we need to be connecting with to make this happen? Also looking at internal assessment. So this, and I just wanna preface this here that internal assessments, they don't have to be extensive and expensive, right? You can, but again, this conversation is specifically for a small team, right? So thinking about, when you start thinking about data or you start thinking about assessments or an audit, all of that can seem very complex, it can be. But I want you to think, I want you to just take a step back and think about what you do have. Almost every organization that's represented here today, you have access, whether you personally have someone in your organization does have access to internal data or internal demographic data for staffing your organization, right? That's a great place to start if you wanna, if you want to start looking at numbers. Another idea, another thing that we've done at TechSoup in terms of internal assessments would be especially for qualitative data is we did a listening tour where we went through, it was virtual, it was all remote and we were able to interview and meet with every team within the organization, right? Yes, that was very tedious, time-consuming, absolutely. I can say it was extremely rewarding, right? Because there was information that was gathered in that process that a survey may not have captured. So just wanna give you those examples when you are thinking about internal assessments because it's gonna be important for you to know where you are to build and start thinking about where you want to go. So training and development, and just recognizing again, training and development is on-going, it is ongoing. And again, it does not have to be expensive, it doesn't have to be expensive. I mean, maybe you don't have a training and development team at your organization. That is okay, start with where you are. One of the tools that we've used at TechSoup is LinkedIn learning, we use those tools and there's so many other online tools, online websites and webinars for free, a little cost that really have rich value, rich content to help you on your journey, whether it's learning terms, whether it's learning how to roadmap and think strategically. And then last but not least, looking at celebrating diversity, right? And what we did early on at TechSoup is we established a diversity council. And so this diversity council is just a group of staff volunteers that would meet to help plan various events, presentations, and other opportunities for learning and to celebrate diversity within TechSoup. Then we later formed some resource groups and affinity groups and we'll talk more about that in the webinar on May 1st. So before we move on, are there other areas that you think that leadership consider when they're prioritizing or revamping the culture around equity? Anybody have any thoughts here? Again, ED chat. I'm gonna check the chat to see if there are any questions. Go ahead, you see it. What's the name of the training platform you mentioned? Oh, LinkedIn Learning. Yeah, LinkedIn Learning is the one that I mentioned. I saw someone, I guess the deck will be shared after this, referrals for equity consultants and organizations. Interesting. So there was a nonprofit organization that they had a, it was a public Google sheet that had almost a thousand. It may even be more than that now. And I can find that and I can share that. Maybe we can share the link with the email here. I'm trying to go through the chat, but is there something that I need to address right away? That was it. That was it, okay. Well, does anybody have any questions here or any thoughts? Feel free to use the raise your hand button. Yeah, we will see where you are and acknowledge you and ask you to unmute yourself. Awesome. And I saw that someone said Leslie or someone said that they've seen a B in EEs like for belonging. Yes, yes, yes. I have seen that too. How many of you have also seen programs that are called JEDI? It's J-E-D-I, have you all seen that? And the J is for justice. So yeah, organizations are, I mean, they're being more intentional, I think, about the name of conventions of the program. And as someone who is intentional with naming and thinking about EIDC and TechSoup, I appreciate that. I think that I would rather be intentional than trendy. And I think that that's just at the core of real work, right? That's powerful. Marie said one unique and creative approach to implementing DEI in a small organization is to host diversity dialogue sessions. I love that. You too. We love to hear more about that. I would love to hear more about that. Yeah, absolutely for sure. And so we've talked about embedding equity in our internal work, right? Share some ideas, how TechSoup is doing that. Something that we also do internally. Again, just thinking about everything that we've talked about, the cultural competence, looking at inclusion and diversity. But one of the things that we do internally is recognizing one. So at TechSoup, it's a global organization. So we have people working all over the world, like all over the world, okay? So to ensure that people don't get left behind and people feel included, there is an emphasis on meeting times within our organization. There's just some intention around that, right? Just making sure if we set a meeting at this time and especially if it's a community event, will staff in Asia be able to participate? Will staff over here be able to participate? Will everybody be able to join? And so that is something that we are intentional about at TechSoup. Again, that's internal work. Let's look at external work. How are we embedding equity in our external work? Does anybody have any examples? Any examples here? Would love to hear from you all. From you executive directors and other non-profit leaders. What are you doing or what would you like to do? What have we seen done? Do you see that, Marie says? Imaginary in our ads. Imagery, excuse me, imagery, duh. The links you use to describe an audience. I love that. That's so powerful. Ooh, imagery in our ads, in your ads. That's a good idea. That's just an example, she said, et cetera. Yeah, I love that. I love that. What else for external work? External work. So that would be think about the NGOs or the people that you are servicing, your community, your clients or your members. And you may be embedding equity in your work and may not even realize it.  But I'll give you an example. Another, does somebody have an example? Cause I... Yeah, Kathy, in the chat, Kathy put, we've embedded DEI principles in our career readiness curriculum for youth and training for employers and educators. Oh, I love that, Kathy. If you don't mind, I would love to hear how you did that. I think, not just me, I think we all wanna know. How did you embed DEI principles in your career readiness curriculum? How? Is it okay if I unmute? Yes, it is. Okay, so we very early on in DEI efforts just steeped our staff and board and everything that we could do internally. And then for us, the next stage was what can we do externally? And so we have 20 year old career readiness curriculum that we refresh every year, but we've never really looked at it with a DEI lens. So we took our DEI standards for our internal organization and we applied them to our curriculum and the training that we do for employers who like host youth and internships and educators who teach career readiness principles to youth. So that all those DEI principles are just part of that curriculum and that training that we do. And that's why when I said earlier, it's tricky because we serve two different states and one of those two states has a law against teaching certain concepts in schools. And so we had to be really careful with how we packaged our new DEI curriculum to work for public schools in that state so they could actually teach it and use it in schools. So kind of some good news of the work that we're doing but also some of the challenges. So I see someone asking for examples, we work with like a vocational rehabilitation state agency and they helped comb our curriculum with us and give us feedback on what we could do to be more inclusive to people with all different abilities. And we worked with another nonprofit organization that serves youth from low income backgrounds to help us make sure that our language included them and doing things that we do career readiness. So we might have like talked about in a lesson how to dress for an interview. Well, that might not apply to all youth the way we might have worded it previously. So now the way, this is just kind of a simple example. So this is perfect. But we changed the way we worded it with the help of a lot of other people because our staff doesn't have the expertise of inclusivity for every single population. So we've worked with other partners to just make that language as inclusive as possible. I really appreciate you coming on. Thank you so much. Thank you for allowing us to please be on the side. I really appreciate that. And I think that listening to Kathy you covered you covered the three things that I said. Do you all remember when I said that what is gonna take and the key for DEI right now is gonna be collaboration. Kathy spoke about collaborating with other folks, right? It's gonna be intentionality. Well, that's very clear in the example that she gave, right? All of that is key. All of that is key. I just missed my last point. I just missed my last point looking at Chad here. But no, this is really, really good. Thank you, Kathy. Anybody have any other examples of how you are embedded equity in your external work? Or maybe you've seen another example. Maybe it's not at your organization. I would love to hear how you're doing that. And I would also wanna hear if you're not sure maybe you say, hey, we do this, but I'm not sure if this is equity lands on that. Oh, I see a hand raised. Yes, please, feel free, Marie, to come off mute. And I'll even turn on my camera. Oh, nice. It's more of, I think a pet peeve. And it's a debate I know a lot of people. Some people have. And that's the term, using the term BIPOC, that when we talk about equity and we say BIPOC, it is a pet peeve for me and for a lot of people. Just some background I work. My nonprofit, we create virtual education for black birthing people. And there was a major discussion with a funder because they wanted us to say BIPOC people.  And these are very diverse groups who've had very different experiences just in America. Even within a single ethnic group, you'll find a whole spectrum of different perspectives, belief stories. You look at this whole debate among people with what is country right now, right? And as a woman who's originally from Kentucky, I think I know what is country. And then someone from Texas who may have a whole different perspective, right? And yet we both have the same skin color. So if you can't paint people within a single ethnic group as the same, how are we going to do that with a bigger group of people? And yet that's what we do when we say BIPOC or we create these initiatives that are focused on BIPOC. And then we use terms like disadvantaged communities and we tend to then lump everyone who is Asian must be a first gen and they... And my son-in-law is Chinese and his father has been here since the 1900s or his family can date back to the 1900s. And so, but when people meet him, they say, oh, how long have you guys been in the country? Probably before your family. How about that one? And so those are the things that I think we tend to overlook when we talk about being respectful of diversity. I really appreciate that. Thank you so, so very much. And I think what's interesting about the term BIPOC is, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember seeing that term 10, 15, 20 years ago. That was, this is new, right? And I'm saying that because I think that as we evolve, I think these terms will evolve as well, right? I saw head nod as you were speaking. So you're not the only person with that sentiment. And I think that, again, it's gonna require us to be intentional, right? That collaboration that comes in to make sure that we are getting various perspectives when we're thinking about identity, because that is at the core of what you just talked about. It is identity, and identity is just one part of a dimension of diversity. There's a chart that I can share about dimensions of diversity, and identity is one part. It's one part, but it is so important. It is so important. So thank you for opening that up. Love to have these conversations. Does anybody have- I wanted to be able to speak to the BIPOC term just really quick. And here's why. I understand the controversy behind the term, but my organization, we had a different issue in that we are not trying to reduce anybody. I'm an African-American woman who has to go into a conference room because I'm actually at work right now. We're not trying to reduce anyone. We're not trying to minimize anyone's experiences what we need is a term that covered a larger group of people. So it's difficult to be able to, when you're speaking to funders or donors or payers, and list out every ethnicity that we're trying to cover, try to cover a wide range of people of color. And that's totally inclusive to Black people. It doesn't always take some distance to see people. It doesn't always include us. So we are trying to look for a term that covers a lot of people. I'm sorry, Crystal, I don't know. Crystal, can you hear me? One moment. There's a lot of feedback, and I'm having a hard time. Aretha, is it just my connection? No, it's not. You have a back connection, Crystal. Oh, okay. Okay, well, no worries. No worries. You guys can't hear me at all? It's breaking up. You sound good when you just said, okay, you can't hear me at all, but it's breaking up. So we're getting bits and pieces of what you're saying. Okay, I'm not clear even that. Nope. Okay, no worries. Thank you. Oh, please put what you were wanting to express. And you can please put that in the chat because I was able to hear a little bit of what you were saying. And it sounds like, and please correct me in chat if I misunderstood, but it sounds like at the core of what you're saying is that your organization uses and leans on the term BIPOC to ensure inclusion and diversity. That's what- Absolutely, that's what I'm trying to say. Can you hear me now? Because I had to move to a different room. I'm just going to go outside. You sound underwater. I sound what? It's like you're underwater, like- Ah, okay, maybe it's my headset. Yes, and I'm going to unmute, but yes, that's exactly what I'm trying to say. We're trying to be a lot more inclusive and making sure that we cover everybody that we're trying to cover by using the term. And because there's so much controversy about the term, we finally had to write an article on our website, a blog article just to explain what we do and why we do it. Wow, thank you. Thank you so much, Crystal. Really appreciate your feedback. And I do believe that some folks, they agree. They understand. I'm seeing notes in the chat here, but absolutely, thank you so much for sharing your perspective. Are there any- We're at the point where Q&A, so I'm really enjoying how this is going. Does anybody have any other questions or thoughts? We talked a lot today. We talked about the state of DEI. We talked about various terms and foundational understanding and principles for initiating equity at your organizations and specifically where you are, right? Not trying to... It doesn't have to be complex. Now, we know that it can be challenging. Yes, yes, yes. But we can start where we are, right? Anybody have any thoughts or questions there? Oh, let's see. I see, Mark, how about diversity data? Diversity of data collection, many surveys are biased. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, Mark, I agree. I know exactly what you mean, and I know that I have been attending a series of webinars via Candid. So if you are familiar with Candid, and I can put the name here and chat, but Candid, they have been, and I think that all of these are archived if you go to their website, but they have a series specifically on that topic, Mark. Yes, about data collecting and specifically within those communities. So, yes, yes, Mark, I see you. You double raise your hand. I love that. Go for it. Oh, Zoom has a setting.  I forget what it's called, but it's the latest edition of Zoom. AI, yeah. While this workshop's been going on on a different computer here in my office, I got an email about a workshop in a few weeks at a nearby community college in Walla Walla, Washington is putting on on this subject of diversity and data collection. Maybe the two computers are listening to each other. Unfortunately, it's an in-person workshop. I don't think it has remote capabilities, but the speaker, this is a speaker that maybe people want to look into because she started a company called Namaste Data. Her name is Mina, Mina Doss. Okay. And I'll put the web link in the chat box. Data is for everyone.teachable.com. Yeah, okay. About how to make sure your data collection is not biased. And I just wanted to share it with everyone in the group because this looks really interesting. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much, yes. I can't wait for you to put that in the chat. Thank you so much, Mark. Really appreciate that. So we have about 15 minutes before we wrap up and I promise to you that before we go, I wanted to share a little bit about and just give you an outline of how you can begin to start roadmaping and planning and having an action plan for some of the things that we talked about today. So as I mentioned before, and I will, if you follow us and attend the rest of the webinars in this series, I promise you, you will hear me say this repeatedly and it is taking action does not have to be difficult or costly. I promise you, it does not. Simply start where you are and something I say all the time, try not to reinvent the wheel. So that's what our EIDC team here at TechSoup has done. And so what we did is we've established our roadmap. And I have an example of this chart if you're interested, I'm happy to share it with you. But the bullet points that you see on your screen, these are not developed overnight. This came after us going through training, us being a part of cohorts and other networks, learning about strategizing around equity, how to embed equity within teams, within organizations. And so this is what we have come up with. And if I were to show you, and I can't, I don't have a third screen, but if I can share with you our roadmap, this came just right out of our roadmap, right? So the first thing that you wanna look at is obviously the goal. But again, as I said, keep it simple. So in order to keep it simple, our recommendation is to think about one thing of all of the things that we talked about here today. What is one thing that you want to accomplish at your organization or for your team by the end of this year? Just one thing. And then just make sure that that one thing is aligned with your organization's mission or strategic objectives. You will find that when it is, you have more support. You find that you're able to move from point A to B to C to the end when it is aligned, okay?  And can you clearly explain the ideal state versus the reality of what you're trying to improve or expand? And then think about the actions that are needed to close whatever gap it is that you're wanting to close. And what is the anticipated time commitment for each one of those things? That's gonna be important again, because collaboration, we want to ensure that we have things already lined up and prepared. So when a partner and allies sponsor approaches us or we approach them for opportunity to collaborate, we can say this will only take X amount of time, right? Over the course of two months or a year or whatever the case is. But knowing that in advance can really set you up for success. And then last, definitely not least is where are there opportunities for collaboration? So think about the skills, the tools or system that would be needed in order for you to accomplish that thing. And think about who would you need to collaborate? What teams within your organization what people within your organization would you have to work with in order to make this happen, right? So think about all of those things as you are planning and putting together your roadmap. Any questions here? Any questions here? I'm gonna hop over and chat really quick. No questions here? Okay, well, I'm just gonna move on. And so before we go, first of all, thank you all so much. I really enjoy being here during the EV chat with you all. Thank you, Arisa, for this opportunity. Just want to point this out before we go.  Yes, thank you. There is a three-question survey. Really means a lot to me if you just take 10 seconds maybe less than that to complete the survey. It's really going to help us in our next step. But as I was saying, as we wrap up, again, thank you everyone for your participation and really looking forward to connecting with you and hearing from you how your journey is going. And if there's anything that we can do to be supported, please let us know. But I want you to walk away with these things. First thing is if you can try to complete a roadmap or an action plan for that one goal. If you can have it done by the next webinar, we can look at that together, right? But complete a roadmap or complete an action plan for that one goal that you want to complete by the end of the year. I think that's a really great next step from a conversation like this. Even thinking about those articles and the other things that people have said, how can you bring that into planning and strategic objectives for your team, your organization? Next, register for the next two webinars in this series. So the one on May 1st, we'll dive into celebrating diversity. And then in June, we'll finish the series with exploring how we can leverage artificial intelligence to support our DEI work. Really excited about that and how we are using AI for some work here. And lastly, thinking about next steps, please share your thoughts in the survey that we have. It's like I said, it's only three questions and it's gonna help us to develop an online community that is dedicated to providing peer-to-peer engagement on events, toolkits, sector insights, and other resources. And also, when you think about sharing, feel free. Please share this with a co-conspirator within your community and within your network. I really started using this word after a conversation I had recently with Satani Affairs. If you don't know who she is, she's the CEO of Peak Grantmaking. And we had a conversation and that word just kept coming up, co-conspirator, co-conspirator. And so I really love that. And so I appreciate all of you being co-conspirators in this conversation with us today. Really appreciate that. I don't have any other content to share other than, hey, I would love to stay connected with you. You can reach us at eidc at TechSoup.org. I am gonna hop over to chat just to see if there are any final questions, any thoughts. Yeah, feel free to come off mute or raise your hand. We'd love to hear from you as we close. Lots of thank yous in the chat with Chika for hosting this. And they said they'll be reaching for the new upcoming webinars as well. Great, all right. And don't forget the survey, please. The survey, really, the survey. And I know I'm guilty, I'm guilty. I have ended a webinar and just ended and went on about my day, right? Guilty, I know, I know. It's so easy to do. But please, it's... The reason that I'm asking for you to do this is we are working to build an online community. And this online community is dedicated to conversations like we had here today. Where you're able to have these peer-to-peer conversations, you're able to exchange information. We have toolkits and I'm able to like share the actual roadmap that we're working on. So we're building this community. And so your thoughts and your feedback from these three simple questions, our promise is going to help us finalize that and just make that better for the community. So thank you, thank you, thank you. Any other final thoughts? I always love giving people back, you know, time. Here you go. Any other final thoughts from you, Orissa? Or anything you see in the chat? No, thank you so much. Again, we'll be sending out the video and the slides. And yes, we'll send the survey out as well. Thank you so much. Have a great day, everybody. Thank you.


Hey everyone, June is in the books, so I wanted to take a couple minutes to share with you our closed trades for the month of June. Total profit is $983.25. Average profit per trade 65.55. We had nine winners, six losers for a winning percentage of 60%. Traded four different strategies, including the iron condor, weekly double calendar, iron duck, and our bunker trade. Now, one thing I want to point out is you'll notice that, A, we're trading a lot smaller with the heightened implied volatility environment. We're doing a couple of things. We're trading smaller size and we're trading more defined risk. Now, we still have on some short strangles and some undefined risk strategies and some futures, but we are focusing more on defined risk during this period of high implied volatility just because of the risk associated and it's just a great time to be trading these strategies in general. So, let's go to the alerts performance here. So, in June, here's a breakdown of the different strategies and trades we made. So, in wheat closed out our iron condor finally, booked a small profit there. We did have a decent loser on one of our weekly double calendars. You can see that several of our losers came on our bunker trades and for those pro members who understand what the bunker strategy is, it's more or less a hedge. And so, obviously, if you're in an environment like this where the market's going up to the upside, well then of course your downside hedges are going to be losing, but it's still a very significant strategy that we like to use. I mean, we're booking profits and we're fully hedged to the downside. So, while the market did not accommodate our downside bias, we still were able to book a nice profit and so that it did what it is supposed to do. And so, we've continued to keep those on and sometimes they'll pay off, sometimes they won't, but being fully hedged is a very important thing to us. You can see some of the other weekly double calendars, some nice profits there. This one booked over $1,300, $1,375 and some other nice ones as well. If you're interested in following all of our alerts, just go to navigationtrading.com. You can click on this big orange button in the upper right-hand corner, it says Pro Membership Trial. Right now, you can get full access, 100% access to all of our training, all of our alerts, everything for a full 30 days for just $14. So, if you're interested, check that out. And when you get on the inside, what you'll see is this is where we post our alerts. They come to you via email and text message and then this is what they look like in the membership area. Let you know if it's a, what kind of trade it is, opening, closing, adjusting, what symbol we're trading, the strategy. This is the actual fill directly from Thinkorswim. Trade comments so you know exactly why we're doing the trade and then a breakdown of the different legs so you know exactly which calls and which puts we're buying and selling. And then you get access to our current portfolio and closed trades as well. Also, we do have a new class coming soon, probably in July. Don't hold me to that but we're trying to get everything together and that'll be part of the pro member master course and it is a day trading course. So, we've been kind of fine tuning and tweaking our intraday strategy and that'll be part of this as well. So, anytime we create a new course, it's automatically part of the Pro Membership. We're really excited about the day trading course coming soon. So, if you want to make sure that you are locked and loaded, make sure you come check it out, become a pro member and it'll be coming soon. So, look forward to that. Look forward to seeing you on the inside. Take care.


Hey, bitches, my name is Flipper today. Before I start off this mess of a video, I just want to point out some things.  Second of all, this is not a cold sore. I've not kissed anyone in months. Anyways, today is Sunday. I've had a project going on in my honors humanities English class for at least two months. We had to read a book called The Things They Carried, and part of the project is to create a visual portion where we highlight one of the characters in the book, and we have to get three quotes about them, five things they carried, yadda yadda yadda, a lot of requirements here with all of them. This was originally due Monday, then the teacher moved it to Friday, then she realized that every senior has not done it, so she moved it to tomorrow. It's 4pm. I haven't started it. Now that I have my friends, let's get to painting. Now the character I have is Kurt Lemon, and a quick background about this character is that he is overly masculine, has to prove his masculinity. And if you don't know what this book is about, it's basically a bunch of short stories of this guy who went to Vietnam during the war, and one of the stories had Kurt Lemon, who was a soldier, who played with a grenade and accidentally hit a mine and died. So I have to paint that somehow. I have to visually portray it onto this, and it also has to be a mini poster because I have to add clothes and sheets of paper on here somehow. I have never done something to this level. I painted shoes, and that's like the highlight of this year. I can't paint porters either, so I might just paint a lemon. I don't know. But first, I'm gonna see if I can sketch something out, because I'm running out of time. But before we could do that, I had to go through the whole book again, find quotes that match his character, and find the five objects that he carried. Alright, so that took around 20 minutes to do. I think I finally know what to do for this poster, though. First, I'm gonna write his name up here in calligraphy, because bonus points for being visually attractive, I don't know. In the scene, they talk about one of the main characters singing the song Lemon Tree, while they pick up the body parts from the tree he blew up in. Morbid, I know. I'm gonna make it less Morbid, and just draw a lemon tree and portray him as an actual lemon. Kurt Lemon will be an actual lemon, just resting on the side of the tree, pretending to look up at the sun because there is a scene where they say that it looked like the sunlight was hitting his face. So, I have the sun coming in from this side, shining onto the lemon's face.  Next, I'll have grass right here, and this is where I'm gonna put my quotes, and then my explanation of the things they carried. I think I'm gonna have a mine, sort of right here, away from him, just to indicate that there was a mine next to him. And things that Kurt Lemon carried was a smoke grenade. He also carried a white ghost mask. I'm gonna have that hanging on the top of the tree. Not really sure how I'm gonna portray that yet, but I'm gonna do that. Maybe it'll hang off a twig, I don't know. He also carried an M16 as his gun, so I'm gonna have that next to him, or resting on the lemon. He carried a flashlight, and he also carried his ego because he was excessively masculine. I'm gonna skip out on the ego part because I think it's impossible to visualize that, but I'm going to explain that he did carry that with himself. So I'm gonna sketch out everything, and then I'm gonna start painting right after that, so here we go. Can I just say, sketching out the name took half of my time, sketching the whole entire image, and I erased his name like three different times to make sure it was centered.  Anyways, I sketched out the rest of my painting, but all of it got painted over, so I just wasted more time. My back is dying right now. I'm gonna take like a ten minute break, and then I'm going to start painting this. Also, the sun is starting to set because it is five o'clock, which means I had to turn on the lights a few minutes later. Now that I'm mentally prepared, I got all my water from this really extra food bowl that isn't even meant for paint, but I chose to use it for it because it had sunflowers in it, took out my dollar store brushes, and went ham on the sky, and clearly you can see that the paint covered my calligraphy, so that's 20 minutes, I'll never get back. Then I thought it'd be a good idea to go through every single crevice because I have a too much gene, and I'm a perfectionist, and Frederick, you were on a time crunch while you were wasting your time.  Next, I wanted to add some clouds, but once again, too much gene, and I added a thousand more. Then painted the grass, and oh look, there goes all my sketches that I worked on, great, great, great. Then I started painting individual grass plates because the too much gene is way too strong, and for some reason I stopped and decided to paint the bark of the tree, and uh, that looks a little inappropriate anyways.  Once that was done, I just splat green all over the tree, which surprisingly was very opaque, except this yellow was not, no, no, no, this took like 80 different layers just to get those lemons in the tree opaque enough, and I was too much gene. I swear to God, Jenna Marbles is right, the too much gene really hurts you because this is the entirety of the project, just painting all of these lemons. Then I just painted the mine and the flashlight gray because I was, you know, lazy at this point. Added a tooth because then the story, Kurt Lemon, uh, lost a tooth. And then I decided to outline everything in Sharpie, even though it looked fine before, except my too much gene is too much, I can't deal with anymore, but this is kind of satisfying, so I'm happy with it, honestly. Then I went back to my roots to finish the calligraphy, and then we were supposed to be done, right?  And even when it did print, it printed wrong, because look at that font, it's not right. Then I started reading my notes and saw the M16 and the Smucker Knight, and then took two seconds to realize that I did not paint that at all. So guess who has to paint even more when it's already midnight?  But let me tell you, do not ever use whiteout on paper. It is chunky, it is stupid, and it looked terrible after just, this is the final product. Also, here's a last-minute smoke grenade that I tried to add in because I also forgot about that. Then I just had to cut these pieces of paper out and glue them, and this is the final project. Like, I'm actually very proud of it. You have a white ghost mask right there. I put clouds everywhere. You can see the white blossoms from whiteout and the lemon pieces I put in the tree and all of the Sharpie work, and then his name and calligraphy and this precise cutting of paper. Also, Miss Morgan, if you're watching this, I'm sorry I did this video the day before.  But if you enjoyed this video, give it a like, leave a comment down below about what other painting videos you want next, and subscribe for more videos every Saturday, Sunday, or Wednesday, Thursday when I'm not procrastinating. Sorry this video isn't as good as my usual ones. I'm just on vacation right now in Hawaii, and I rather not stress myself out, so this is one of my backup videos that I was about to delete, but I was like, you know what, maybe you guys will like it. So yeah, just wait for next week, it'll be better. Alright, I love you guys, and everything is less than 3, and now you should watch this video right.


Hey, everybody, Dave Archer with you again. And we're going to continue our breakdown of some of the players we feel like are going to be impacting the Falcons in the draft. Today, we're going to talk about the cornerback position. Yes, the corners. Now, number four, way too rich to go get a corner. These guys are going to come into play should Atlanta trade back. A lot of conversation about whether Atlanta will stay at the number four spot, take a quarterback, offensive line, or will they move back in the draft? That's where these guys will come into play. So let's take a look at the cornerback class of the 2021 season. Let's start off with Patrick Sertan, the outstanding corner in Alabama. 6'2", 202 pound, junior coming out. This is an outstanding player from a technique standpoint. And why not? His dad was a pretty good player as well. And you're going to find that's a common theme with some of the guys I'm going to mention. He's technically sound as Patrick Sertan. He reads the tells of the receiver. And what that means is some receivers will give away what they're going to do with the line of scrimmage. It might be that they one foot staggered a certain way or their eyes look a certain place. This is a guy that reads through that extremely well. Patrick Sertan looks for those kind of things. Again, probably something his dad dropped on him. He's really good at the line of scrimmage. He's not overly physical to jam you, but he has great patience. He doesn't take your initial move so you can't get him beat off the line of scrimmage or he off that does a great job of mirroring and running with the wide receiver. Now, this is probably the most experienced corner that's going to be available in the draft. He ran 4'4", 2' in the 40. He has a 39 inch vertical. So you like all of the athleticism that he brings a table, but he has 662 snaps of press coverage. He has 1,536 coverage snaps. He's had four interceptions over his career, but he had 24 pass breakups. A lot of experience built in to a three-year package and Patrick Sertan, the corner from Alabama. Now let's take a look at Caleb Farley. This is a kid that's a little bit of an enigma, played high school football in the state of North Carolina and was a prolific quarterback at 58 touchdowns, both passing and rushing as a quarterback at high school in Caleb Farley in North Carolina, made the shift to corner. He's got great speed. This kid is a fluid speed athlete. Rumor has it. Remember, this is the guy that opted out. He's had a few injuries that we'll talk about here in a second. But this is a kid that ran 4'2", 8 in a 40 at 6'2", 207 pounds out of Virginia Tech. He's got outstanding ball skills. He had six interceptions in just two years of play. He was targeted 45 times, only 12 completions in 2019. He opted out in the 2020 season. But you go back to his tape, when he played in 19 as a sophomore, he had 45 targets, and only 12 completions, four were intercepted. Now he has some inexperience. Only 58 snaps of press cover. Talk about Patrick Sertan and how much experience he has at playing this kid has less experience. Only 24 games his career. He had back surgery on March the 23rd. It was microsurgery. It's been, we've been told by NFL doctors that it was not significant. He has not fallen very much in the draft. He's still probably a top 15, top 16 selection. But again, these are guys we're talking about. If the Falcons move back from four, these corners come into play. Now let's take a look at JC Horne, another kid whose father played the National Football League. Maybe you remember him, Joe Horne, former Falcon wide receiver, played with the Saints. You got that experience of having a father that can kind of guide you through what the National Football League means. But when you look at JC Horne, six, one, 205 pound corner out of South Carolina, comes out as a junior, another kid that can run. Ran four, three, nine at his pro day. He can really get it. Aggressive. This is one thing that sticks out about JC Horne when you watch the tape.  He likes to smack talk a little bit. He's gonna get up on your mug. He's gonna fight you at the line of scrimmage. Does an outstanding job of that. He does a really good job of locating the football once you get down the field. Does a really good job of winning at the point where the football is excellent 50-50 ball guy. If the ball's up for grabs, this kid's gonna knock it down or steal it. Now, he does have an issue sometimes with tackling because of his aggressiveness. He gets a little reckless. He can get off balance a little bit and he misses some tackles. And because he's so aggressive at the line of scrimmage, he can get a little bit grabby and grab on the receivers. Now, you would like to be able, you don't want to have to teach a guy to be aggressive. This is a guy that's already there. So you can back him off of the grabbiness. So JC Horne, another corner, could be in play for the Falcons should they slide back in the draft. Now, here's a couple of guys that might not be first rounders, but they're gonna be somewhere in the mix later on that you might want to look at. Asante Samuel Jr., another Falcon, another guy that played at a dad, played the national football league. Do you remember Brent Grimes? Brent Grimes, this guy looks a little bit like Brent Grimes, a little bit bigger from a height standpoint, but his ability to change direction, his balance, unbelievable in his ability to plant and go without any loss of movement from the body, elite level change of direction for this kid, and he's a ball hop. He's an outstanding, stealing the football with four interceptions, 20 pass breakups in three years, 31 games. This is a kid that has a real feel for the game like his father.  This kid possesses some of those, some of those abilities. So Asante Samuel Jr., a guy to keep an eye on. And a local product. Our next guy is Tyson Campbell. This is a kid at six foot one, under 93 pounds. We got a Georgia, a junior. He's got excellent change of direction as well. Smooth and athletic, put on the tape. If you want to see Tyson Campbell, the Georgia's corner, put on the tape against Kyle Pitts and against Devontae Smith. These are two guys are probably top 10 picks. Look at how he played against them. He ran four, three, seven at his pro days and outstanding tackler. He's got tremendously long arms. He's been able to play the ball down the field. He's not an overly physical guy at the line of scrimmage. He doesn't like to jam you too much. And he doesn't have a number of interceptions to his credit. But I love the way he plays the ball in the air with the long arms and the athleticism. There's a look at the corners. We'll look at some more position groups down the road.


The White House has communicated with Israel over the need to ensure the safety of journalists. This comes after the Israeli military destroyed a 12-storey building which houses the offices of the Associated Press and of Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera. White House Press Secretary Jen Paki wrote in a tweet that day, have notified Israel of the importance of an independent media and for the security of newsmen. The Israeli military said the demolished building was also used by the Islamist militant group Hamas.
