We just appreciate you being here today. There are a couple people I want to recognize quickly. First of all, Mr. Charlie Thompson. Where's Charlie? Charlie was our landlord for this. He represents the Guignard family. And for 13 years, Charlie has been our landlord as we have labored through this entire project. And it's been a pleasure to work with him along with Bill Boyd, who's very close to him and the Boyd family and everything they mean to the city of Columbia and the Guignard family as well. It all talks about South Carolina and relationships and people that really make the difference. And Charlie, we appreciate everything you've done to make this successful. And we look forward to a great future and continuing to support you as we go forward. Thank you for being here today. In addition to that, you know, we had a big old flood come through here in 2015. I don't know if you remember that all of you would need scuba gear based upon how high that water was. And at that same time, we were looking at this cofferdam, you can't drive sheep pylons out here. You have to do it with rock and we were like, What are we gonna do? And everybody was kind of throwing their hands up. But government master, he started saying, Keller, we're gonna get this cleaned up for South Carolina for accessibility, this great natural resource. And after that happened, I have to give credit to his deputy chief of staff, Mark Ploudon. I don't know if Mark is here today or not, but he kind of brought all the stakeholders back together and allowed us to come up with a modified removal plan. And he deserves a lot of credit from that standpoint. You have to have good regulators and good partners on that. And we certainly had that with South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. And their director here on the environmental side, Maura Reese, along with Keith Frost and Gary Stewart. And then you got to have boots on the ground. So Greg Cassidy and Lucas Beresford, who were our project managers on this project, we salute you in partnering with us and bringing it to fruition. So thanks to this great state agency and all the work that you did as well. In addition to that, the US Army Corps of Engineers, you deal with a navigable river, you got to have the core there. And they were just as an essential partner for us and Bryce McCoy and Amy Capolino are here with the US Army Corps of Engineers. And we thank you for that. Then you got to have good regulators supporting you as well. And we certainly had that from the Office of Regulatory Staff. They spent many times out here inspecting what was going on just like the other agencies in Michael Seaman Wynn. And he is joined today by the Executive Director of Office of Regulatory Staff, Andrew Bateman. And we appreciate all of the oversight you provided for us. We've got SHPO, we've got the Confederate Relic Room and the State Archaeology Office. I mean, go and look when they said Sherman burned Arsenal and threw everything in the river, he did throw it in the river. And we were blessed to be able to pull it out and it'll be for generations to come a lesson in living history. In addition to that, we're leaving it cleaner than we found it. Because in addition to those relics you see, we also pulled out 2.5 tons of just litter, debris and a bunch of tires. Oh, they say we're the tire capital of the Southeast. Well, there were a lot of tires in this river that we were able to pull out. And that's what we're here today to do, leave it better than we found it. And I'd be remiss if I didn't recognize some of those groups who were out here down in these pits, coming up engineering as they went along, because you're dealing with a flowing river. Like I said, this is the only project done like it in the United States. intact, Mitch Blanchard, Pete Porter, Stephen Creighton and Eric Garinger, apex, Kayla Jones, ace, Rusty Contrell, and he even brought his wife, Brenda, because I think Brenda wondered where he'd been all this time. He was down hit the river, Brenda, I promise you, from TRC, Sean Norris, Jim leg and Mona Grunden. And in addition to that, we had to have a lot of support from all of our stakeholders around us. Mr. Howard DeVall is here today. City of Columbia, longtime public servant in the Missful Association. Mr. Howard, we just appreciate your leadership and everything that you have done in that regard. Representative Seth Rose, Representative Micah Kasky, and then someone that I interact with a lot with this project because we're gathered over here on the Columbia side. But don't forget this river, this Congaree River, it actually joins Columbia and West Columbia. And I'm very pleased of all the constituents concerns that came forward. This is not a quiet project. We tried to make it as quiet as we could. But Senator Nikki Sessler, I appreciate you being here always a good friend, our eyes and ears in the community. And it really worked out well from that standpoint. There are two other people I want to recognize here as well. And that's Tom Effinger. I've had the privilege of working at with Tom Effinger at the company for over 35 years. We did the manufactured gas plant sites down in Charleston. He nobody I will tell you nobody on the environmental team or the construction team wanted to take this project on why because there was slim chance for success. And there was overwhelming odds of failure. But Tom took it on and took this special project on and there's nobody else that got enough gumption and guts to be able to do it about relationships. And then his boots on the ground Mr. Paul Barry, who was here every single day working with the various contractors and dealing with the constituents. And please let me be selfish by recommending about recognizing two of my own please give these gentlemen a round of applause. Finally, I just like to say it's the leadership of the great state of South Carolina and we've been blessed to have the longest serving governor in the history of South Carolina here with us. And his legacy that he will leave with South Carolina is not based upon the fact that he had all of those terms in those years in office. But what he did with those years in office, he always the economic development that he brought here to state has been tremendous. But he always has a heart for South Carolina and our natural resources and how we are blessed from the mountains to the sea. And it's my great privilege to introduce his Excellency, our governor, the Honorable Henry Dargan McMaster. By the way, that excellency that was written in the Constitution a long time ago. Kelly here and you talking and remind me about old Sherman throwing all that stuff in there. I don't know if the federal tort claims that goes back that far. Maybe the statute has run. But there's a there's a lesson in here and that is that it's easy to mess something up, but it's hard to clean it up. And here we are cleaning something up that was done probably inadvertently even without thinking everything went into the river way back in because water was water. The solution to pollution is dilution, I think they used to say. But but that is that's an important important lesson. And we have to be sure now that what we are everything we're doing is not missing something up so that somebody's got to clean it up later. A few years ago, I was up in the capital city club looking out over this area and the university and all the green and the rivers are converging there to form the concrete and all named after the old Indian tribes or Native Americans or original inhabitants, whatever they go way back. You know, they were here a long time before we were. But we were talking about that with I was with Christie Todd Whitman who was the head of the EPA years before under President Bush and it's been the governor of New Jersey for eight years as well. And as we were looking out over all this beautiful landscape and beautiful sky and the city growing down below us and all this water, I remember saying we really do have it all here in South Carolina. And she said now, Coach, as you do, I hope you don't mess it up. So I don't think we're messing it up. I think we've come to realize that our success and our prosperity and happiness depends on three what I call core things that the that the government is involved with. And that is education where we have some weak spots. But in order to fix it, you have to know what's broken. So we have some weak spots we're working on. And our economic growth, which is just booming. We had 10, almost 10.3 billion last year. We don't think we'll have that many this year, but we'll have more than we had any other year. But it's going on and on into other courses, our environment. And those are the three pillars. And they're all together. If you don't have one, if one is weak, the other two can't support it. It's like a three legged student. And I think more and more people are coming to realize how important this is. Now way back to Spanish and the French and all of them, when they were coming over all the explorers, they were going back to their sovereigns and saying that this place that today we call South Carolina, they call different things, was the most beautiful, most less place in all the new world. So just think of it, we're right here in the middle of this. Everyone's coming to the southeast where the sun shines. And it's always about the people and the people, of course, are one factor in the way the people are, of course, is their environment. But it's all tied together. So this really, I want to thank and congratulate everybody who was involved in this. It took a long time. Mr. Mayor, thank you for your work. Senator was always giving us advice and guidance and insight. And Kelly, you that's the biggest dirt move I ever saw. Don't ask Kelly to do something unless you want it done. Because he'll get it done for you can change your mind. But this is a great step and also again, it's a great lesson for us. Because we have there's no place more beautiful in our state of South Carolina. We ought to shout that from the rooftops and be sure to tell the children to always be proud of South Carolina. It's the best place in the world to live, work and raise a family. And we're right in the middle of it right now. So it's our turn. And by the way, if you got a good southern accent, hold on to it. That's worth about a million dollars right now. Thank you, Governor. I saw Representative Caskey show up. Thank you for being here and thank you for your leadership through this project, relaying the concerns of your constituents just like Senator Sessler was invaluable for us. And we appreciate your leadership in the House of Representatives. Thank you for being here. Well, I met him when he came in the office. I've known him long before that. But as mayor, it's been my privilege to kind of walk behind him and walk behind his vision for what he wants for Columbia to become. We had a recent press conference where we announced the leasing of about 2000 acre 200 acres excuse me, along the along the river that we can extend this riverwalk. And that was the dream of Mr Boyd. He said, Keller, I need y'all to finish this project so we can get this connectivity. You connect the river, you connect the walk, then you really connect the people. And that was his vision, a great vision he had and it hadn't been lost on our next speaker. It is going to be an exciting time for the Midlands going forward because of the exposure and cleanup of our natural resources, but also the vision of our mayor here in the great city of Columbia. The honorable Daniel recommend. It's always really hard to follow Keller and the governor, you know, but I'm gonna do my best. You know, this is this project is what you talk about collaboration. And for a long time, we had a negative connotation about not being collaborative. But what you're seeing happening across the Midlands is collaboration. It's West Columbia, Casey, city of Columbia, Blythewood, East over Irma, Blythewood coming all together to work together to do things in the Midlands, but the river has always been a passion. We've been talking about the river for so long about connectivity and how to bring it together. And this was a big part of it to have something done a year in advance. That's what you talk about collaboration. And I think it's incredible to have all these folks here. Obviously, you know, the governor's office involved Dominion Energy, DHEC, Army Corps of Engineers, City of Columbia, our staff in the back. We have our senior administrators all here. Henry Simons, Missy Gentry, I saw Clint Shealy the head of our utilities. Our whole team is here. And part of that is, is that because collaboration is how we're going to get things done. And we're so excited about cleaning it. This is one more piece. Skeller talked about the connectivity and the vision. Within the next decade, because we've got to wait on Carolina Crossroads to finish, you'll be able to get on, put on your tennis shoes or hop on a bike downtown Columbia and go all the way up to the dam and back. Stop at the zoo on your way, cross over to West Columbia with a new bridge that's coming in, take the back scene and maybe go, go visit these wings or something like that, even cross over and come across Elmwood and make your way across three, three historic neighborhoods and end up at Bull Street for a game, all without ever having to get on your, in your car. But opening up the river and the connectivity, something we've talked about for so long. This riverfront is the front is really the catalyst for Columbia because tourism, we get 16 million visitors in our community. We're giving them more opportunity to stay and take advantage. This past year, we had 24 economic development recruitment agents here and we got them on a Sunday in the state of South Carolina and had them right here in Columbia. So we took them on the river floating. We let them sample some good malted beverages from our local cereal factory and we also allowed them to have a great lunch on the riverfront. But what was incredible about it is those individuals got to see Columbia in a different light. They got to see these natural assets that we have. And the first thing that came out of each one of their mouths, why aren't you telling anybody about what you have? You need to share this. This is incredible and we're continuing to do that. But the opportunities are just opening. The 200 acres that we're working with Dominion opens up. This is the other connectivity piece but also the partnership with the Guignard's Association associates who own the 63 acres next to us right here opening up William Street, which we're so excited about after 23 years of talking about it, 15 years of trying to make it happen, it's going to happen. And it's going to be the catalyst that opens up something that everybody's going to be a proud of not only having development here, but having open space more access to the river, tying our community together. But without that, we would just be another city. So let's take advantage of what we have the collaboration, the partnerships, people working together. But this decade long cold tar cleanup being done ahead of schedule shows us what partnerships do. So let's keep working together to improve this community. Keller, thank you for your leadership. Because without you, we wouldn't be here today. Just a few housekeeping items here at the end. Thank you, governor, for being here today. Your time, your leadership. I want you to know it wasn't he's not a point and click person. He came out here several times to check on the progress and how it was going and how things were working. But just some facts, we hauled out 38,500 tons of sediment from this site, which is remarkable. And we did it in this very urban setting.  That constituent service of city council is so critical, important to stakeholders. So I just want to thank everybody for your role and your participation in this. We will, for the media, we'll meet over here to the right. If you all have further questions on specifics that you'd like to talk about from that standpoint. But this is truly team South Carolina coming together. We could not have done it alone. And we're just privileged to have these great partners all working for the benefit of the Palmetta state. You know, I look out behind us here today, and I've said it before, South Carolina, from the mountains to the sea. But today I kind of feel the Midlands is the place to be. Thank you and thank you for your attendance today.

What to do when staff or colleagues undermine you?  It can knock your confidence and trust in others and it can be very demotivating. Worst case, your job could be under threat. And to make this bad situation worse, the undermining actions are often subtle and hard to really pinpoint. So if you find yourself in this situation, there is actually a lot you can proactively do to stop the undermining behaviour. I cover what undermining signs to look out for and five actions that you can proactively take to stop the behaviour as quickly as possible. And at the end of the video, I give you tips on how to market your work and results within the business to counteract the effects of the undermining behaviour. My name is Jess Coles and I've had a 25-year management career in Instant Drinks, Fosters, EY, PA Consulting and many other less well-known companies. And I've personally been on the receiving end of undermining behaviour and I've had to learn how to deal with it and stop it while maintaining my professionalism and my work ethic. Knowing the steps to take will make this a lot easier for you. And if you're new to this channel, Enhance.Training provides online business courses to help you improve personal performance and that of the team and business. And if you like this video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe. So firstly, before you even work out what to do when staff or coworkers undermine you, you need to be able to spot the signs of undermining behaviour, ideally as early as possible. The longer you leave taking action, the more time a colleague has to damage other people's perception of you and the more work you might need to do to repair any damage after stopping the undermining behaviour. The undermining behaviour can start for any number of reasons. Some of the common reasons include firstly, they're feeling threatened by you or how well their colleagues think of you. For instance, if you're doing a very good job and making them look average in a similar job. Second, you could have personally or socially offended them in some way. Third, they may just not like you on a personal level. There can be many other reasons too. Common signs that a person may be trying to undermine you include not sharing information with you such as meeting invites to make you look poor or unprofessional, telling you incorrect information or implying incorrect courses of action. Thirdly, withholding information or work that you need to hit deadlines you're repeatedly forgetting to send you in phone or it could be gossiping about you or spreading false or malicious rumours about you, your work and capability. It could be taking credit for your work or the work that your team has done or it could be trying to influence or take charge of your team members i.e. asking your team members to report to them or it could be trying to weaken your relationship with your manager or more senior staff around you. Keep an eye out for behaviour that repeatedly puts you in a bad light. Everyone makes mistakes, you know, so one offs or mistakes that impact several people are likely to be just that, mistakes. It is repeated undermining behaviour which is not a coincidence or a mistake that you need to keep an eye out for. So if you are unfortunate to be on the receiving end of undermining behaviour, let's go through five steps of what to do when staff or colleagues undermine you. The first step in how to deal with undermining behaviour at work is to start documenting examples of the undermining behaviour. And I appreciate that this may seem a little bit like overkill when you first become aware of undermining behaviour. Because undermining behaviour is usually subtle, it is usually actioned verbally by the other person or through omission, it can be hard to prove what is actually happening. Therefore, you must start capturing at least these three things. Firstly, what's happened? You know, I, Jane told me that Dave said X, Y, Z to her about you or Jim forgot to invite me to ABC meeting. Secondly, when it happened, you know, the time and date. And thirdly, the impact on you, on your work or on your team. The impact will be what nearly every manager or company will care about. The better managers will care about your feelings, motivation and the emotional impact of the behaviour on you. The quicker you start capturing information about the occurrences of undermining behaviour, then the quicker you can take steps to stop the behaviour. Evidence always trumps opinion. So in dealing with undermining behaviour, you can't rely on opinion only. It is just not enough. You need to collect evidence. Keep collecting evidence until the undermining behaviour has definitely stopped. Keep your records or a copy of your records on personally owned storage devices rather than say only on the company laptop. The second stage in what to do when staff or colleagues undermine you is to find allies. You need to take this step carefully and subtly. You must avoid trying to undermine the person who is undermining you or avoid anything that might be interpreted as undermining. At the same time, if two or more of you are receiving similar undermining behaviour from the same person, this is a lot more powerful than one person alone receiving undermining behaviour. Two or more people's opinion and evidence can quickly build a compelling case that the behaviour is happening and the impact is tangible to the team and the company. So take time to carefully inquire to colleagues about how they are treated by the person in question. Ask open questions such as, I'm also working with Jill. How do you find working with her? Rather than leading questions such as, I'm having problems working with Jack, how did you find working with him? Weed these open questions in the natural flow of the typical conversation where possible. Be careful on your tone of voice and the body language when asking these types of questions. Don't hint or make obvious the problems that you're experiencing. After all, the person you're speaking to may be an ally of the person undermining you. The third step in what to do when staff or colleagues undermine you is to confront the colleague undermining you. When you have gathered evidence and when you have found any allies, then you are in a good position to confront the undermining colleague. I strongly recommend that you don't confront the person until you have some evidence. Having clear evidence will make the confrontation much easier for you and much harder for the other person and you are much more likely to be able to stop the undermining behaviour if the other person can see that you mean business. Your opinion alone will rarely be enough. Work out what you're going to say and practice what you're going to say out loud. Keep your emotions in check when speaking. Don't get angry or aggressive. Ask the person in question into a meeting room or engineer a meeting in a quiet spot. Be direct and be honest.  Secondly, provide a couple of specific examples of that behaviour and third, ask what is driving the undermining behaviour. Be confident and be professional. Wait for their response and listen to what they say. If you've done something to offend them, apologise and see if you can reach a mutual agreement in terms of both yours and their behaviour or actions going forward. If they're undermining you for any other reason, ask them to stop undermining you. Judge whether you should state if the behaviour is not stopped, you'll need to escalate to management and potentially HR. The fact that you have specific examples and potentially allies will usually be enough in itself to give the person undermining you good cause for concern and incentivise them to stop the undermining behaviour. You should be prepared for the other person to up the ante or to become more subtle with their actions. This can also happen. Before escalating the matter, you should wait to see if the person stops their undermining behaviour. The fourth step in what to do when staff or colleagues undermine you is to speak to your manager. The evidence you have collected and the allies you have found will make speaking to your manager easier and a lot more productive. The first thing your manager is likely to ask is have you spoken directly to the person about the undermining behaviour? So don't speak to your manager until you have taken step three. Arrange a private meeting or bring up the issue in your one-to-one meeting with your manager. Tips for the meeting include firstly, prepare what you're going to say and practise it. Keeps the facts rather than opinion as much as possible. Second, bring a copy of the evidence of the undermining behaviour and its impact on you, the team and the business to the meeting. Third, say you have spoken to the individual and yet the undermining behaviour has not stopped and share evidence of this if you have it. Fourth, ask your manager's advice on how to deal with the situation and lastly, manage your own emotions carefully during the meeting. Be professional, thank your manager for their advice and time regardless of the outcome. Most managers will act on this conversation because it isn't their best interest to do so. Again, the fact that you have evidence and have thought about the impact on the business will usually be plenty to make the manager take note. Few managers want this type of situation escalated further to HR or further up the management chain as this will reflect badly on them if they could have done something but didn't. The fifth step in what to do when staff or colleagues undermine you is to escalate to HR and or senior management. If you need to take this step then the situation is getting pretty serious and you and your manager have not been able to resolve it. I would expect that confronting the individual and then speaking to your manager should solve 90% plus of cases where staff or colleagues undermine you. If you escalate to senior management or to HR be prepared for questions about your behaviour the evidence that you've collected and so on. This is why it is so important to be professional throughout the previous steps and avoid any actions that might indicate that you're trying to undermine the other person. Throughout experiencing any undermining behaviour it remains very important to maintain your motivation, your standards of work and the results that you deliver and I have some tips to help you. So when faced with what to do when staff or colleagues undermine you a key action is to market yourself within the business. As mentioned, maintain or improve the standards of what you deliver for the business. The more valuable the work and the output you produce the easier it is to counter when staff or colleagues undermine you at work. Just doing your work alone is not enough. You have to make people in the wider business aware of the great work that you're doing. This can be a scary prospect for many yet remains very important particularly when faced with a person trying to undermine you. So some tips to do this well include firstly highlighting the impact of work or the projects that you do for the business and the team, et cetera, around you as well as delivering the work. Send emails explaining the impact or add this into the conversation with managers and stakeholders. Second, create measurable metrics to show the value being added. Revenue increase, cost saved, time saved, efficiency gained, et cetera and circulate these to stakeholders. Third, ask supporters to shout about what you're doing to managers and stakeholders. Fourth, build a stronger relationship with your manager. You know, help them achieve their goals. Keep them aware of the impact you have on the business. Meet them more regularly, et cetera. Fifth, send out a team newsletter in turning to the business. Take opportunities to present project outputs and similar profile raising exercises. And sixth, ask managers and stakeholders to coffee or to lunch to get to know them better on a professional and personal level. There is a lot you can do to raise your profile and shout about the positive aspects of what you deliver at work. Put a little bit of extra effort into market yourself internally. I mean, this is great practice anyway and really important if another person is trying to undermine you at work. So now you know what to do when staff or colleagues undermine you. You have five practice steps that you can take to stop undermining behavior in its tracks at work. And six plus tips to counteract undermining behavior at work. Whatever you choose to do, don't be passive and don't just put up with the undermining behavior. Take action to stop staff and colleagues undermining you. Do take a look at the courses and resources available at enhance.training to help you be even more successful in your professional and management career. Thanks very much for watching and I look forward to speaking to you again soon.


Why do Narcissus try so hard and then sabotage? It's very weird, isn't it? I mean if you imagine a child on the beach and the child is building a sand castle They're spending all of their time To build this castle out of sand Maybe it takes them an hour and then when it's finally completed What do they do? They kick it down They kick the sand castle down after they've just spent about an hour building it and Yeah, how it pertains with the narcissist is they get in these relationships and And They do put some level of effort even if it's just into the manipulation tricking you That does take a lot of work so they do that and They could spend months or even years Putting you under their spell Locking you down And for what just so it can end Just so they can cheat on you leave you What's the point in that? You may be thinking and the reason why it sounds so crazy For someone to spend all of their time Building something Just to destroy it Yeah, it sounds crazy, but that's only because You're looking at it from a normal person's perspective You need to look at it through the eyes of a narcissist Because when you do that It will make a lot of sense And that's what we're gonna do right now So by the end of this video You will understand why they try so hard and then sabotage Okay, so here it goes Narcissists are very insecure the very jealous and competitive That's why they're always in opposition to you. They're always trying to compete with you They're always trying to gain an advantage the upper hand They've just got to be better than you are all costs, but they targeted you originally because in Their minds they thought you were the best They thought you were the best choice of everyone. That's where they got with you They only pick the best of the best. They don't want anything less But the problem is due to their insecurities and deficiencies After they had been with you for a certain amount of time They start to become very envious and jealous They started to compete with you They started to insult you and put you down devalue you and degrade you and Just over a wall trying to make you feel small and it may seem like they're sabotaging Especially when they finally discard you and move on to someone else and triangulate you That may seem like sabotage and of course from a normal person's point of view it is But in their minds they're winning when they lie to you When they cheat on you when they steal from you When they do everything they can to try to destroy you in their minds that is them winning Any normal person would look at it and think that is losing But they don't see it that way Because remember everything is about them As long as they feel like they're getting something or they're getting over on someone In their minds that's a victory So that's it. That's really why they try so hard and then sabotage I mean when they first met you they had all of these fantasies of who you are and what you're going to be and do for them But it just never panned out in reality because it was an impossible expectation This image of perfection that you could never live up to And that's why later on in the relationship it's all about They're bringing these fantasies to you about someone else and how they're so much better than you They're so perfect And you're just a piece of shit The reason why they're doing that is because all along they had this image of you This mental Snapshot that they took of you in the beginning Of how you were this image of perfection And I know that sounds crazy, but that is really How they first saw you But you could never live up to that And don't feel bad. Don't don't feel like you're not good enough. No one can There's no one watching this video right now And I couldn't no one could live up to that impossible expectation Of perfection so It may seem like sabotage, but They see it as though Who cares? It's no loss. It's the only loss is A problem this Loser who isn't good enough for me Who could never be perfect That's really how these arrogant delusional narcissists think of us That we could just never be good enough for them They never looked themselves and see that they never did anything Anytime that thought pops up in the head.  You no longer validated the illusions of their false self You start to see them as they actually are It's like you were holding a mirror up to them By the end of the relationship you were showing them who they actually are and they didn't want to see that They were like, no, no take that away I don't want to see a reflection on myself. That's the last thing I want to see Now that's why you see them at the end. They're running away And you think they're running from you, but no, they're actually running from this reflection of themselves that they want nothing to do with And the entire time they try to disown these parts of themselves that they don't like on to you and by the end of it They just couldn't do that anymore because you weren't accepting it And you were pointing out all of the things that were wrong with them So then their only option was to run away But you thought they were running from you They didn't even see you They just see you as an object a tool They never even took the time to get to know you. So how can they run away from you? The only thing they care about is themselves If there's one thing we all know about narcissists, they only care about themselves So no, they weren't running from you They were running from this reflection of themselves that they don't like And that's really it That is why they try so hard and then sabotage Don't take it personally. Yeah, there's nothing to do with you It really has nothing to do with you at all. It doesn't say anything about your value But many of us we are empaths. We take it personally We want to do better be better We want to be everything that Other people want us to be I mean, of course, we want to be that image of perfection That they expect us to be we do everything we can to try and be that And they're looking at it like we're fools We just keep trying harder and harder to please someone who doesn't even care about us Someone who even if we did attain that image of perfection that they were expecting and looking for It wouldn't change anything If anything that would make them hate you even more Because remember they don't hate you for things that you don't have They're hating on you for things that you do have That's why they're so envious and jealous and competitive Why would they try and compete with someone who doesn't even have anything?  Well they take it with them They got nothing Moving on with An empty meat suit An empty vessel What good is that? What are you going to build with that? Nothing You've got to have the tools So yeah Just don't take it personally I know many of you are empaths And I know we talk about narcissists Are very sensitive to rejection But of course empaths are too We want to be loved We want to receive Kindness Empathy from other people And there's nothing wrong with that But just understand You're not going to get that from a narcissist They can only give the illusion of that It's never going to be real So yeah that's it That's why they try so hard on sabotage I hope this video was helpful If it was please give it a thumbs up It helps our community And coaching You can book a one-on-one with me Just head to my website It's NarcSurvivor.co.uk And anything else you can send me an email Coaching at NarcSurvivor.co.uk Or you can send me a message On Instagram It's NarcSurvivor YouTube Alright That's all from And Nala today She's busy to dinner Thank you all for joining me And I will talk to you in another one very soon


Mack Jones, starting for the Patriots, is big news for their past catchers. I have moved Jacoby Myers up to YGC for 44, John U. Smith to Titan 13 and Hunter Henry to Titan 14. All these guys were viable later in drafts before because there was always a possibility that Mack Jones would start, but now we know that will be the case. These guys should get decent target shares and what could be an okay offense behind a very good offensive line. Damian Harris may get a down tick in rushing efficiency with a non-mobile quarterback beside him, but that'll be canceled out by additional touchdown chances. No Cam Newton means there is one less goal line back who can take away touches from Harris in close. As far as Mack Jones goes, I'm not super into him later in drafts, but he will have a stable starting job behind a good offensive line. So it's not the worst idea in super flex leagues, but I do think we have better options later in drafts. The big benefactors here, Jacoby Myers, John U. Smith and Hunter Henry, all now hyper viable with Mack Jones starting.


Good morning guys and welcome to today's products and focus the US 30 there finally broke down its potential resistance as 6969 and even hit as high as 1700 point one 17,000 sorry point one which is an all-time high for the US 30 the first time It's broken that level in its history So the markets are very flat this morning. I can see for the US market You came on 100 Germany 30 still going great guns as global PMI data outside of Europe came in very strong Yesterday European PMI was okay. Nothing to write home about but global growth looks to be certainly a lot more confident now After the data releases came out. We still got non-farm payrolls on Thursday to look forward to You came 100 is now trading above both its moving averages Looking at tackling its next potential resistance at 68 74 The potential support is at 677 for As long as we stay above these moving averages that would be seen to be from a technical perspective Anyway, quite bullish crossover in the MACD. Most other indicators are neutral indicating there's still further room for manoeuvre Looking at Japan to do five. It's also gone up dollar yang kind of had reverse course slightly yesterday But a very strong session still unable to break through potential resistance of 15488 But we're still looking pretty strong If we do manage to move a little bit higher We are looking at 15828 keep your eye on dollar yen and the office is all about these economic announcements now That's going to drive the market. So we started getting some weak data Things could spin around pretty quickly. So looking at dollar yen Not really that much to report is going to flat line quite close to one-on-one spot 35 It did reverse course slightly there yesterday quite quite a bullish day yesterday There'd be a bullish engulfing pattern doji formation there at the moment But we'll see if we start to creep back down a little bit lower that would put a bit of a cap on Japan to do five West Texas crude is coming back down to 105 Volatile session again yesterday dollar is not really helping this that much at the moment It should be giving it a shot in the arm, but 105 getting that slow trickle down today at this level is going to be strategic over the next couple of sessions Gold has been pretty flat last couple of days. We did touch 1332 there on On Tuesday before we retrace retrace back down. We do have a doji formation right there We are still looking like this symmetrical triangle trend line here might be acting as potential support So we are in the middle of a Ascending triangle formation right here waiting for a break out one direction or the other Euro dollar actually came off slightly having a Monday hit Almost hit the potential resistance at one spot 3709 Which was also capped off by the 55 period SMA We could be looking at retracement back down to one spot 3645, which is the next potential support level however cables for all the action has been It completely came it last couple of sessions very strong Monday session strong Tuesday session We were flat lining a bit today, but we are we're getting closer to one spot 72 We dig actually cover yesterday the next potential resistance a long way away at one spot 75 And this represents quite an interesting opportunity for guys who are looking to trade Cable should we get retracement a little bit lower Towards one spot 7048 many people be looking at this To see if the support level the broken resistance now acts as potential support could provide an interesting springboard for some guys So in regards to economic data, we do have ADP private payrolls as ever Just before non-farms people be looking at today And you've got crude oil inventories and we fast-forward on to Thursday. Obviously that brings out a lot more data again You've got Eurozone PMI again UK PMI services. You've got entry announcement from Eurozone, which will be constant and you've got non-farm payrolls obviously due Unemployment data in the US and jobless claims and the trade deficit. So there is so much data due out tomorrow Promises to be quite exciting trading day You've got the manufacturing non manufacturing business index as well so much fundamentals And that's gonna be a big driver now for mostly global markets, especially when they're breaking fresh fresh ground Keep you on the chart form as ever and insights and if we would quit look at the client's segment for one second This gives you a bit of an idea as to the viewpoint of what many clients are Are doing right now. So short us 30 Short UK 100 net short Germany 30 after big rally. This is quite common words for FX You know GBP USD in particular. We're making such big gains now that many clients are going short and join me again Tomorrow to find out what happened next?


A Bemidji woman's father is being recognized for the work he did to save lives in Nigeria back in the 60s. Lakeland News reporter Sherell Moore has the story of the disturbances. Most people around here knew my dad and they did not know this story. This is Reverend Paul Gribble. He lived in Bemidji until his death in 1992. But before that, he and his family spent time in Nigeria. Paul worked there as a Christian missionary in the 60s. He helped save lives when a war arose in the country. At our boarding house, we had a lot of people working for us who were evil. And so that's why he wanted to shelter them.   And this is a picture of us when we were in Germany, our whole family, except for Mom. I think she was taking the picture. I think almost all of them got to safety. There was only like maybe one or two. And then after the war, even one of them came back and worked for us again. His name is Reuben. Reverend Gribble's story is now being shared in a film called The Disturbances. The filmmakers conducted interviews with people from all over the country to make sure that the story of the Christian missionaries was told. Especially when we lived in Nigeria, whenever he could help somebody, either monetarily or, you know, just by helping them in some way, he would do it.

Hey everyone, Nate here. Formally known as Nathaniel Ruffeljantz from Nintendo Prime. Okay actually that's still my name. I didn't legally get my name changed. I'm still Nathaniel Ruffeljantz and for now anyways at least as of today this channel is still Nintendo Prime. There's going to be some changes coming in 2020 and obviously the chief change that people want to know about is the content. They want to know where is the content? How often are we going to get it? When are we going to get it? Are you going to have a schedule? Are you going to live stream again? What's going on with the content? Because content is king. All the other changes I'm doing are next to irrelevant without content and I am happy to report that as of January 1st 2020 I will be back in full swing on this channel releasing a video almost every single day. At least one some days might have multiple. It's going to kind of depend on the new cycle but what is going to be happening is there will be videos practically every single day. The Nintendo Prime podcast will be coming back and yes it will still be called the Nintendo Prime podcast. It's not expanding to anything else. It will simply be the Nintendo Prime podcast just about Nintendo for our core audience especially those that support us on Patreon at patreon.com slash nintendo prime they have been funding this podcast for quite some time there might be additional podcasts and stuff we'll have as funding goals on there in the future but for now that's the podcast that we're going to be focusing on with Patreon. I'm not really like trying to grow that podcast per se it just is what it is if it gets bigger great if it doesn't it does it it will be live streamed every single Thursday night around 9 p.m at central standard time so it will be a live podcast with an audio version that comes like the next day etc to iTunes and all of that so that's what's going to be happening with the podcast but what's happening with the daily content the content a majority of you are here to see is that we're going to be expanding and we're going to be expanding in ways that make sense to me because I have interest in multiple things see obviously we've been a Nintendo channel for quite some time Nintendo Prime switch this switch is actually broken I have a new switch on its way it won't be coming in a fancy box like this this is in my launch switch box but I do have a switch on its way that is fully functioning that I can live stream with record gameplay with all that stuff it's basically gonna be my main switch I just have to get some joy cons and stuff for it so I'll be taking care of that when it comes in and I will be getting content really going immediately on that platform you see for the past few days I've been doing up various polls in the community section trying to figure out the top 10 exclusive games on Nintendo switch and the order of those games based on what you guys have played because since I haven't had a working switch in quite some time I have missed out on most of the switch exclusives from 2019 I did play and beat and review Yoshi's Crafted World and I got my fill of Super Mario Maker 2 and really since then I haven't really had a working switch now I will be doing a repair video on this switch showing some minor repairs I'm doing to this although I'm not going to be fixing the video out but I'll show how to how to fix like the game card reader and other stuff like that or how to install one I guess because I think that'll be an interesting video and I might do other minor repairs of video game platforms in the future just small things that need to be fixed on either friends hardware or my own but I'm going to be taking those top 10 games and I'm going to be live streaming them I'm going to be going from the least voted game to the most voted game in order all the way up until Animal Crossing releases essentially maybe just before Animal Crossing comes out on March 20th of 2020 the idea is that I get all caught up on all of the major switch exclusives from 2019 before I dive into some third-party offerings you know such as Dragon Quest 11s the Witcher 3 all of that I plan to get into those games as well but I want to play all the exclusives and I want to do it basically basically on the order of you guys's voting and your suggestions and right now we already know that I'm going to be starting with Mario and Sonic of the Olympic games as that's number 10 it's the last exclusive game major exclusive game released on Switch in this year so I will be starting with that and I will have a stream schedule for you guys hopefully posted on January 1st on the community section and then advertised on Twitter and everywhere else for when I'm going to be streaming games and what games I'm going to be streaming again some of the games are going to be a little bit harder to predict like Fire Emblem 3 houses is going to take more time to complete than say Ring Fit Adventure or Mario and Sonic other games you know like Link's Awakening I have a lot of experience with so that game might be a lot shorter for me to play versus something like I don't know something that I have no experience with like Astral Chain wherever that ranks Astral Chain is probably going to take me a while to beat as well no I'm not looking to 100% these games but I am looking to just beat the main stories enjoy what I can and we'll see who knows maybe I end up 100%ing them just by accident because that's just what happens it's gonna be nice to get back into gaming with Switch in that way again the game the entirety of the games won't necessarily be streamed for you guys because I will be playing in handheld mode on my own when I have more time because if I just stick to just streams it could take me six months or so to beat all these games so I want to beat them quicker so I'm prepared for Animal Crossing when it comes out and who knows maybe I'll even review each of these games if you guys are interested why don't you go down in the comments and let me know if you're interested in me reviewing each of these games that we're going to be playing here to start off the year and they get all livestream a lot of my gameplay of it or as much as I find time to do there might be some in-between streams that aren't planned and aren't scheduled but just happen because I happen to have time that I will be continuing my streams of the whatever game I happen to be playing at the time so I have my scheduled streams are this is the day you know this day and this day and this day like say two or three days a week I will be playing Mario Sonic at the Olympic games or whatever and then the next week maybe I'm finally moved on to the next game and the next game and the next game and we'll see how that works my goal is to beat a game per week so basically one week for each game that's kind of my goal but we'll see again I'll have my set streams and if there's any surprise streams in between that will just be a continuation of that gameplay all right that being said that's what I'm doing with switch early next year in addition to covering any major news or anything that happens but the channel is going to be expanding me on Nintendo and that's because I have other interests I've had on the interest for a long time obviously a lot of people know I'm really into PC and gaming PC stuff and I don't really have gaming PC a gaming capable PC at the moment my PC literally can edit videos and that's about it right now and that might change in the future because I might have another channel in the works with a buddy that covers tech and that's gonna be a lot of PC tech so then that also will enable me to do more PC related video game stuff so you can look forward to maybe some PC stuff especially if Age of Empires 4 and other things come out in the next year that I'm really interested in but I'm gonna be covering things I'm interested in whether it's the games whether it's the tech now this year I did not or this generation I never purchased a PlayStation 4 but I do have experience with Sony platforms I mean this is a an OG fat PlayStation 3 that plays PlayStation 2 games as well so I used to play games back in the day on PlayStation and there's that means I've missed out on a lot of some of the best games of the generation that came out you know on Sony's platform it's Marvel you know not Marvel a Marvel Spider-Man I guess I guess the one I was thinking of there or you know what you know the last of us part two that's come in obviously we have all the Uncharted games that I haven't played any of those God of War etc so there's a lot of games I missed out on but here's the thing Sony has a tendency to remaster these games for the new generation of platforms so I'm basically not going to worry about it and I'm going to get a PlayStation 5 when that comes out and then worry about playing the remastered editions on that along with other new exclusive games but I've obviously been a fan of Microsoft for some time I mean I had an Xbox One X here at at some point I don't have it anymore now I'm not going to be buying a new Xbox or one or anything this year I'm going to wait until the new Xbox launches as well basically my goal is to get both of them at launch I'm going to be doing one of those layaway programs paying it off over time kind of things but it's going to be nice to have a fresh start on everything going on so you know we'll be talking a lot of next-gen we'll be talking a lot about the hardware a lot about the game you know games like Hellblade that you know there's a Hellblade 2 coming so it'd be nice to talk about that when we get more information and whatever other games get announced it means that I will have a wider variety of content to cover on the channel and that's because I have a wide variety of interests Nintendo I think is always going to be maybe the dominant topic at the channel but imagine that I could do videos like you know hey Switch vs PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Scarlett or you know Xbox Series X or whatever you know Series S whichever one I end up getting because I can do it from earnest but I'm hands on actual experience and I'm not going to sit here and lie to people I'm obviously always going to be biased towards Nintendo I ran Zelda websites for nearly 20 years I've been doing this Nintendo Prime thing on YouTube covering Nintendo exclusively for about two to three years I used to run Nintendo websites even when I did a Nintendo focused gaming site back on the day Amnesia still it was really biased towards Nintendo and I'm always going to have a bias towards Nintendo because they are my childhood they have been most of my adulthood even and I really love Nintendo games and Nintendo products and I'm not afraid to admit that I have bias there because I don't hide from it it is what it is but I also really enjoy other types of gaming and other content that Switch doesn't even get their hands on and I do like 4k you know I do like 60fps I do enjoy higher than 60fps on gaming PCs I enjoy the highest fidelity visuals and all that and I enjoy other types of forms of gameplay and types of games that Switch doesn't get such as a Madden or whatever like we get NBA 2k but technically it's better on other platforms and I just haven't been allowing myself to experience that because I've been sticking so exclusively to Nintendo so it's going to be nice to kind of expand and basically cover whatever I feel like covering I think that's the big thing to take away from this is I'm going to cover whatever I feel like covering that day it's still going to be a lot of Nintendo content so for you those of you out there that are like Nintendo Prime is doing all this other like stuff I'm so worried about Nintendo coverage they're still going to be a majority Nintendo coverage I would say a majority of videos made every week will still be pretty focused on Nintendo but there's going to be videos maybe more of them some more frequently some weeks less frequently other weeks that are going to be focused on other platforms and other games that aren't on Switch and I know that might bother you but I like to not hold myself back in the kind of videos I want to make and in that spirit the channel itself is going to be rebranded the rebrand is going to happen a little bit before January 1st I'm going to slowly work towards it I'm working on some new channel art I'm trying to figure out what I want the icon to be the icon is probably going to be me a picture of me or my face or me holding a switch up or so I don't know it's going to be something to do with me because the channel's name is simply going to be Nate Jantz that's it Nate Jantz all one word not Nathaniel Ruffles Jantz I actually have another channel called that which is why I'm not doing that but Nate Jantz and the idea is that I will just start going by Nate in the future if you want to use my last name or part of my last name in Jantz when you talk to me you feel free but the idea is that the channel is just about me and it's about my interest my wants my desires in the video game realm I'm going to kind of get away from that side branding of Nintendo Prime now there there will be you know I'll still wear you know I have Nintendo Prime shirts and nostalgia shirts and stuff like that I'm still going to keep the Nintendo Prime website going I'm going to probably rebrand the Twitter account the official Nintendo Prime Twitter account to to Nate Jantz as well but more than that I am going to keep some of the Prime stuff going we're still you know whatever I decide to do with Prime news will still be called Prime news I'm still going to whatever I decided to do with the podcast it's still going to be called the Nintendo Prime podcast I am still going to keep some of that branding going in certain ways but the channel branding is going to be myself so I can just do whatever the hell I feel like now again none of that matters if I don't bring the content and at this point there's no reason for you to trust that I'm going to bring the content because I haven't built up that trust in 2019 in fact I spent the majority of this past year pretty much destroying all the goodwill I built up for a couple years and I there's nothing I can do about the past I can only worry about the future and a little bit about the present so for those of you that have stuck around on our Patreon all these months well I've been struggling with a lot of stuff thank you so much for sticking around for those of you that stuck by the channel still tune into every video show up to my random live streams thank you so much for showing up and supporting and just being generally awesome people I've had a wonderful holiday season with my family we have had an amazing Christmas and I'm sure I'm going to have a really really fun New Year's because for the first time in forever me and the the old lady are going to be going out for New Year's Eve with some friends which is something we haven't done in like five or six years it's been a long time so it's been great having all this family time but I'm ready to get back to work get back to the grindstone and produce the kind of content I want to make for you that interests me the most and I feel like in expanding what we do or what I cover I'm going to have more passion coming forward in every video I won't feel like I need to make a video for this day on something I'm not that passionate about like if I scour the news and I'm like oh there's nothing Nintendo related but look at this cool Xbox story that cool Xbox story will rule the day so we'll see what happens I plan to do more discussion videos and more basically more of everything but I'm not going to dedicate to you guys what videos coming on what day right now my focus to start 2020 is just a video per day every day and we'll go from there so oh plus the the scheduled live streams for the games we'll see how a schedule for playing things works out once I beat all those games but I am looking to schedule streams now I'm not going to tell you if the schedule is going to be at night or during the day that is yet to be determined I will sort that out on my end but you guys will know ahead of time so thank you so much for tuning in I am Nate Chance and thanks for watching my video subscribe for more content I look forward to the branding change and all this stuff coming forward hopefully you stick by and see if you enjoy the new content coming in 2020 maybe I'll make more use of this green screen thing or maybe I won't I don't know all right I'll catch you guys in the next video


It's time for the Lawn Jean Chronoscope, a television journal of the important issues of the hour brought to you every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, a presentation of the Lawn Jean Wittner Watch Company, maker of Lawn Jean, the world's most honored watch, and Wittner, distinguished companion to the world-honored Lawn Jean. Good evening. This is Frank Knight. May I introduce our co-editors for this edition of the Lawn Jean Chronoscope? From the CBS television news staff, Larry Lusser and Ned Kalmer. Our distinguished guest for this evening is Basel O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. In spite of all the miraculous advances made in medical science during our lifetimes, there's still one epidemic uncontrollable disease that's increasing every year, and this year, unfortunately, is no exception. Despite all our efforts, polio is affecting more people this summer than ever before. Mr. O'Connor, earlier this year, we were told that we might be on the verge of victory over polio through the new Salk vaccine. What has happened? Well, we still may be on the verge of victory. Of course, this last summer we put on the one great field trial of a vaccine that's ever been had in the history of the world. We gave the vaccine to 445,000 children. We gave another 200,000, what we call an innocuous substance, what we call a placebo. And in 217 places throughout the country, we tested out the validity of what we call the Salk vaccine. Some people didn't know what they were getting? That half the group in the placebo study, the control study, got vaccine, got something else, but nobody knows. We have the key to that. But when will the results be known? Well, right now, of course, we're going through the evaluation period, and that's a long, hard, laborious job. And I don't see how we can possibly know that until the epidemic season is over, say, around November 1st. Then it'll take time after that, and we can't possibly know the results until December 31st. Maybe not then. Well, Mr. O'Connor, is it possible that some of these people who are getting polio now are getting it from the vaccine? That could be possible, but we have no reason to believe it. And in any event, in the placebo study, we couldn't tell, because until you break the key and find out who got the vaccine, who got the placebo, you don't know. But so far, the safety of this vaccine has been really ruled out. Well, is there any more of it available now, sir? No, you see, this vaccine is simply now in the trial state. It's not commercially available. Can't be bought? Can't be bought, and if it's determined to be effective, of course, why then the manufacturing houses undoubtedly will produce it to the extent they can. Well, how's the efficacy of this Jonas Saw vaccine actually improved? Well, I think in the laboratory or rather experimental-wise, not the laboratory, it has in the laboratory monkeys. But in human beings, experimental-wise, it has been demonstrated that this vaccine will raise the antibody content of the blood sufficient, which should be sufficient to protect against paralytic polio when it's encountered in the natural stage. But until that happens, you see what we've done now, we've given the vaccine, and now we're waiting for the epidemics to come in those 217 areas so that these children will come in contact with the disease in the natural condition. Now, if the vaccine is effective, it should prevent them from getting paralytic polio. That's what we want to find out. Well, you said 217 various areas. Now, where are the most cases popping up now, sir? Most cases now, this year, we're in four spots so far, rather curiously. California, Texas, Florida, and Hawaii, believe it or not. Hawaii is having quite a relatively large incidence. I think my memory is right, I hope. They have 137 cases now, as against a five-year average, something like 17 cases. It's a hot weather disease. Well, we don't know anymore. It is, yes. We get our peaks in July and August and September, but now lots of places in this country. It's endemic. I don't ask me which places because nobody likes to have that set of their place, but it runs pretty well through the year. We'll have it from January 1st to December 31st. Well, Mr. O'Connor, how do you account for the fact that children get it more often in the summer when we think of them as getting more sun and more exercises and being generally healthier? Well, of course, you know, I'm a layman. I'm not a scientist, so all I can tell you is what somebody else tells me. I think it's probably due primarily to the fact that they make new contacts. They go from a place where they've had no immunity and they go to another place and get into other crowds where the disease is prevalent and they encounter it that way. They get into new groupings of children and I think it's probably movement in the summer plus getting overtired, over-exercising and then neglect not watching their headaches and their coals and so forth. Well, is it wise do you think to keep a child isolated during the summer or is it better to expose them to these new contacts that they normally would meet at camps and in pools? Well, I certainly wouldn't expose them to the disease itself, but I don't think one can go so far as to keep their child isolated and I think we really don't know. We do know that it doesn't come from water. We know it doesn't come from pools or milk or things like that. We know it's a contact disease and therefore I suppose the more contacts you make and the newer the contacts, the more you increase the likelihood. But, Emerson once, you know, wrote an essay saying that you can't run away from anything so that, but I think it is a good idea to see that they don't get tired, too tired, call the doctor the minute they show any symptoms. Well, supposing one's child develops a sore throat during the summer, what should the parent do about it? Do you immediately go and ask for a shot of a sore vaccine? No, they won't get it because it's not available, but the thing they should do is call the doctor and then first make sure it is polio and not get too excited about it. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. And if there's a large family, Mr. O'Connor, what will the others immediately be exposed? Don't be silly about that. If you have one case in the family, the others in the family will all have had that virus. Now, they may not have paralytic polio, but they will have had the virus. Well, Mr. O'Connor, should you immediately take the child and send it away or send the other children away to their grandmothers or to friends to get them away from the child which has polio? I shouldn't think so. I'm not a doctor or scientist, but I shouldn't think so. I think it all depends on what the family doctor feels is their condition. How seriously he thinks whether they're going to be paralytic polio, if they're going to be paralytic polio, the hospital is undoubtedly the best place for them in some cases, not all cases. If they look like they're going to be in a bought-up case, why they're just as well as homes, where else, provided they put to bed and get over the early symptoms. Well, Mr. O'Connor, you're talking about the soft vaccine this summer.  Now, the United States Public Health Service, I understand, doesn't feel that gamma globulin is effective anymore. No, no, no. The public health never said that. No. What happened was a committee that was set up by the Public Health Service and made a report out of Atlanta that said the use of gamma globulin in family context was no good. And we always said that. There was any basis for believing it was any good. And then they said that the use of gamma globulin in mass prophylaxis, giving it to in the mass, all they said was that as it was used last summer, they couldn't draw a conclusion whether it was good or not. But the fact remains that the only scientific test, the control test made by Dr. Hammond in 51 and 52, which we paid for on the National Foundation, that scientific test still proves that gamma globulin, given at the proper time before the virus gets into the host, and the proper kind of gamma globulin will protect from originally for five weeks, but his recent work in the laboratory shows that it will protect for eight weeks. So the only scientific evidence that exists shows that gamma globulin is as effective as it ever was and will protect temporarily against paralytic polio. Now it is available. The public health men have it. There will be a demand for this summer and it should and it will be used. But all that report said was that used in the contact method, you remember I've just said that once you have a case in the family, they've all got the virus. Well, obviously giving them gamma globulin then won't help them any and that was well known and why it was ever used that way. Well, do I understand, sir, that you cannot get an inoculation or a vaccination from the Salk vaccine now, but you still can get an inoculation of gamma globulin? That's right. There's about two million shots of gamma globulin available in this country and that's been distributed among the public health men, not all of it, but it's available. Half of it's gone out or is available. The other half will be available when the public health men want it. And they can use it much more liberally this year. That is, they don't have to do just great masses. They can use it in groups above the family group. For instance, if they have a school where there's a couple of cases and they want to, they can give it to the rest of the children in that school. That they couldn't do last summer. So it can be used much better, much more quickly this summer. And they have it, and to the extent they have it, to be sure it's still in limited supply, there will be a demand for it and it should be used. They've used a lot of it in Florida. And I think the reports out of Florida are going to be very encouraging as the use of gamma globulin when it is used in the proper time and in the proper way. Tell us, Mr. O'Connor, how did you get into this work in the first place and when was that? President Roosevelt, we were law partners and we went down to Warm Springs in 1924. That's the first time he went down here. Well, he got polio, you mean, when he contracted it. He got polio in 21. And then he got interested in Warm Springs. They had a pool there with hot water. And he went down to the place over and I went down with him. And then he started to take it over and make it a place available to other people. Then he was elected governor in 1928. He simply said to me, well, you take over and I took over. And you took over. Mr. O'Connor, it seems that the National Foundation is going to run another drive for funds, but I remember back in January you raised $55 million, which was the greatest sum ever raised in the history of the foundation. That's right. Why do you need more money? Well, you see in January we asked for $75 million for our big four programs. Now one of our big programs is patient care, another one is polio prevention. For polio prevention this year, we needed $26.5 million over and above our usual needs. That's what ran us from 50 to 75 million. Now our patient aid program, that's where we give aid to those who need it financially, runs approximately $29 million. Now unless and our professional education and scientific research program runs 19, if you'll add those up, you'll get 75. Now we did not get 20 of that to 75, and if we do not have it, we can't carry out those programs. Now see what that would mean in patient aid. That would mean that we cannot give the patient aid that we always have given for 16 years. You're giving patient aid to people who have already incurred polio? That's right. And how long does that patient aid last? Well, it can last anyway from 30 days to an indefinite period of time, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 10 years really, depending on the case. As a matter of fact, we spend, in the last 5 years, we spent half of our money on patient aid on old cases, what we call old cases, and the other half on current cases. Now if we don't get this $20 million, we simply can't take care of those patients. And that would be a catastrophe because that would mean that patients that we're cared for might eliminate some of those crippling effects which they may not eliminate if we can't care for them. Do you still feel so that we are on the verge of victory over this dread disease? I don't have any doubt about it. I think we're very hopeful that this salt vaccine will prove to be effective. And if it does, of course, that will be the answer to that. We'll still have a tremendous load of back cases that we'll have to take care of, and we'll have refinements to make in the vaccine. But unless the immunology of polio is entirely different from every other disease, we feel very encouraged about the success of this vaccine. Thank you very much. Connor, we're coming here tonight. The opinions expressed on the Launcine Chronoscope were those of the speakers. The editorial board for this edition of the Launcine Chronoscope was Larry LeSir and Ned Kalmer. Our distinguished guest was Basil O'Connor, president of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. A Launcine watch is one of the most perfectly functioning mechanisms made by man. On first acquaintance, one is astonished by its day-to-day performance and, as months pass into years, its qualities of great accuracy and reliability become truly priceless. Now these persuasive words are backed by facts. In competition with the finest watches of all the world, Launcine watches have won highest honors. Ten World's Fair grand prizes and twenty-eight gold medals are some of these honors. For greater accuracy, Launcine watches have won countless honors from great government observatories, honors too in sports, aviation, and in science. In a watch, the best costs but little more than the least, and Launcine watches do not carry a prohibitive price tag, for you may choose from many beautiful Launcine models for both ladies and gentlemen for as little as seventy one fifty. Now if your present watch is not what it should be, or if you're planning to buy a watch as an important gift, these are facts to remember. Launcine, the world's most honored watch, the world's most honored gift, premier product of the Launcine Witner Watch Company since 1866, maker of watches of the highest character. This is Frank Knight reminding you that Launcine and Witner watches are sold in service from coast to coast by more than four thousand leading jewelers who proudly display this emblem, agency for Launcine Witner watches.
