This is Matilda by Roald Dahl which was challenged and kept from being read in school classrooms in Michigan because of the because it was appalling in its disrespect for adult people and children. So here it is. Matilda's brother Michael was a perfectly normal boy but the sister as I said was something to make your eyes pop. By the age of one and a half her speech was perfect and she knew as many words as most grown-ups. The parents instead of applauding her called her a noisy chatterbox and told her sharply that small girls should be seen and not heard. By the time she was three Matilda had taught herself to read by studying newspapers and magazines that lay around the house. At the age of four she could read fast and well and she naturally began hankering after books. The only book in the whole of this enlightened household was something called easy cooking belonging to her mother and when she had read this from cover to cover and had learned all the recipes by heart she decided she wanted something more interesting. Daddy she said, do you think you could buy me a book? A book, he said. What do you want a flaming book for? To read Daddy. What's wrong with the telly for heaven's sake? We've got a lovely telly with a 12-inch screen and now you come asking for a book. You're getting spoiled my girl. Nearly every weekday afternoon Matilda was left alone in the house. Her brother went to school. Her father went to work and her mother went out playing bingo in a town eight miles away. Mrs. Wormwood was hooked on bingo and played it five afternoons a week. On the afternoon of the day when her father had refused to buy her a book Matilda set out all by herself to walk to the public library in the village. When she arrived she introduced herself to the librarian Mrs. Phelps. She asked if she might sit a while and read a book. Mrs. Phelps slightly taken aback by at the arrival of such a tiny girl unaccompanied by a parent. Nevertheless told her she was very welcome. Where are the children's books please Matilda asked. They're over there on those lower shelves Mrs. Phelps told her. Would you like me to help you find a nice one with lots of pictures in it? No thank you Matilda said I'm sure I can manage. From then on every afternoon as soon as her mother had left for bingo Matilda would tattle down to the library. The walk took only ten minutes and this allowed her to glorious hours sitting quietly by herself in a cozy corner devouring one book after another. When she had read every single children's book in the place she started wandering around in search of something else. Mrs. Phelps who had been watching her with fascination for the past few weeks now got up from her desk and went over to her. Can I help you Matilda? I'm wondering what to read next Matilda said. I've finished all the children's books. You mean you've looked at the pictures. Yes but I've read the books as well. Mrs. Phelps looked down at Matilda from her great height and Matilda looked right back up at her. I thought some were very poor Matilda said but others were lovely. I liked the secret garden best of all.  The mystery of the room behind the closed door and the mystery of the garden behind the big wall. Mrs. Phelps was stunned. Exactly how old are you Matilda? She asked. Four years and three months Matilda said. Mrs. Phelps was more stunned than ever but she had the sense not to show it. What sort of book would you like to read next? She asked. Matilda said I would like a really good one that grown-ups read. A famous one. I don't know any names. Mrs. Phelps looked along the shelves taking her time. She didn't quite know what to bring out. How she asked herself does one choose a famous grown-up book for a four-year-old girl? Her first thought was to pick a young teenager's romance of the kind that is written for 15-year-old school girls but for some reason she found herself instinctively walking past that particular shelf. Try this she said at last. It's very famous and very good. If it's too long for you just let me know and I'll find something shorter and a bit easier. Great expectations Matilda read by Charles Dickens. I'd love to try it. I must be mad Mrs. Phelps told herself but to Matilda she said of course you may try it.


Hi everyone. Thank you for joining us. We're going to go ahead and get started. We had just a handful of folks register but I know that people have been accessing these recordings after the fact and so we're going to go ahead and walk through the entire workshop. I know Kalimba, if you have any questions please let us know. Some of what I cover might not apply to you depending on the the courses that you teach but again I want to share the information so that those who access the recording later have it. But yeah well this will be pretty informal. Let us know if you have any questions or anything unclear. So our workshop today is digital resources to support student research. My colleague Eric and I are going to be walking through this workshop with you. Eric is our university archivist so he's going to be talking about some digital archival collections and I'll be talking about library instruction resources. If you have attended any of our workshops in the past on incorporating library resources, some of what I cover might be a little bit of repeat but some of it will be new. So let me check that chat real quick here. Okay perfect. And before we dive in I'm going to go ahead and pull up the flyer that some of you might have seen already and just let you know what's coming up in our summer faculty workshop series. So next Wednesday my colleague Stacy is going to be covering online course readings, how to use library books and articles. There's some specific things you need to do as far as linking and so she'll be covering that as well as a bunch of other stuff. And then the following Wednesday, August 12th our colleague Kim is going to be talking about copyright in your course and looking at fair use which has certainly sort of surfaced as an issue in this era of mass online teaching. So she'll have a lot of good stuff for you there and you can register for either of these workshops on our workshop calendar on the library's homepage as you did to get to this one. All right so I'm up first. Let me go ahead and pull open my browser here. We had a poll but because we have so few people here I think Eric maybe we can just go ahead and skip that for now. Okay all right so as I mentioned I'm going to be walking through some instruction options that we have available. So if you go from the library's homepage here to services, if you go all the way to the right here under services for for faculty, I'm going to navigate to request an instruction session. Now if you haven't used library instruction before what we do is we will work with you one-on-one to create a session for your class and this can be tailored to a specific research assignment that you're having students doing so maybe you're having them do a literature review on ancient Egypt for example. We can work with you and come to your class and in this virtual world that means come through Zoom and actually walk your students through how to use our databases for example. It can be something a little more abstract like maybe you want your students to learn a little bit more about the peer review process so we can design a lesson around that. Really we work closely with you to tailor that for whatever your goals are. So I won't go through this form in detail but I do want to point out at the top here this is new information that we've added to our website. If you teach a first-year GE course that has a critical information literacy outcome and that includes our written communication, the English course, oral communication which comes out of COM studies, history of the United States, or a first-year or foundation seminar. Those are the courses that we offer a library ambassador visit to. Our library ambassador program is a partnership with undergraduate studies and essentially library ambassadors are CSUSB students who participate in our student mentoring program on campus. So they're leaders, they're highly trained, they're highly responsible usually upper division experience students and they'll actually meet with your class and again in this this era they're going to be doing that virtually through Zoom and they'll give about a 45-minute presentation about the library. You know really basic sort of how to find books, articles, items on course reserve as well as services that are available. It's not any sort of in-depth research but it provides a really good introduction for students for whom all things FAT library are new. We do usually assess this program and we always get really good feedback from from both faculty and students that like saying that they learn a lot and really appreciated it. So if you're interested in that I have a link here to the virtual library ambassador form and this just has you fill out information about your course and when you want the students to join your class and things like that. Currently just due to funding restraints this program is available only to those four classes I mentioned written communication, oral communication, history of the U.S. and first-year seminar. So if you're not teaching any of those courses and teaching something that's 200 and above or 2000 and above this form is what you'll fill out here. So you'll complete your contact information, the course information, preferred date and this here is important the preferred mode of instruction. So as I mentioned we will meet with with your class online through Zoom for a synchronous session but our other option down here is no mode you actually would prefer a pre-recorded video for something asynchronous and so we can work with you on that too. You know maybe you're not meeting with your students regularly or want to make sure that this is available to them throughout the semester that's something we can do. We do ask that this form be submitted at least a week in advance and I would ask especially if you're want a pre-recorded video as soon as possible just to give our librarians time to prepare. We ask them that you attach either an assignment or submit three goals or three objectives or three things that you want your students to learn the more specific the better of course and then you'll submit this form. This form goes to me I'm the coordinator of library instruction and so what I will do at this point is I will identify a librarian who's available and best suited to work with you to teach this library instruction session and then I'll put you in touch with that person and you and that librarian will you know talk talk about the details and figure out who will set up the zoom link and things like that. So this is a great resource for you to take advantage of if you haven't in the past. So I'm going to go back here to the library's home page. I'm going to go back to where I was before but I just wanted to walk you through how I got there go to services and on the bottom right I'm going to pop into CIL lab under services for faculty. CIL lab stands for critical information literacy and this is really a teaching and learning toolkit for faculty for instructors and we have a lot of good stuff here. I won't go through all of it but the one I want to focus on today is this tab instructors corner. Now instructors corner contains readings videos activity prompts infographics a plethora of resources that you can use as you are crafting your own assignments and your own course your own syllabi and if you're interested in integrating critical information literacy or have a research assignment that you'd sort of like to pump up I highly recommend you checking out these materials you can see that these are organized by SLO student learning outcome. These are the library's student learning outcomes so we have five here free versus fee based information so that really addresses sort of the paywall phenomenon and scholarly information being behind a paywall and some information not and ask students to think critically about that. Effective searching is of course sort of the mechanics of how to effectively find information as well as some of the effective skills or affect effective qualities that it takes to be an effective searcher. Popular SLO three popular and scholarly sources really asks students to think about the utilities of these and the differences four is what shapes information this is probably my favorite one this this is the really sort of critical one in my opinion that gets students thinking about what are those forces that shape the information that's created political bias economics you know and the list could go on and on so really really good stuff here especially for discussion and then five is attribution which is everyone's favorite citation. So I'm just going to pop into this one so you can see what you'll find and so at the top we have the student learning outcome written in full and then as I mentioned you're going to see a bunch of resources here so we have discussion prompts class activities a little did you know section videos and then a bunch of related resources which includes library guides more more video tutorials pds that you can hand out for your class and here we have a couple of infographics so please um go ahead and explore this and if you have any questions um you can always contact me what I'm going to do is go ahead and put my own email in the chat here um your foul librarians are always happy to work with you on assignment or assessment design so if you're interested in that like I said reach out to me and um we'll either be working together or I'll put you in touch with a librarian who can do that um if I hover over instructors corner here again I won't go through all of this but we have recommended readings and videos so that's essentially pulled from all these SLOs in a nice list format and then we have CL CIL assignment ideas from faculty here at CSUSB and so this is another place where if you're looking for ideas on how to integrate critical information literacy into your course check these out um you can see that they're listed by last name and then in parentheses here it has the actual course and so we have um different disciplines represented here these assignments come out of professional development opportunities we facilitated with faculty so we um we're running a grant program through for a while these tops who came out of um a couple of workshops that we had in support of folks um transitioning into our new GE program so um also here really good really good ideas and if you have if you see one that you like and you have questions about it I'd be happy to connect you with um the faculty member who wrote it so they can give you more information okay so I'm going to pop over to our next resource which is video tutorials um and these are really popular especially we've seen usage increase a lot now that we've all we've all transitioned online um but you can see here that we have three one for beginners intermediate and advanced researchers by beginners um we generally mean first year students or maybe transfer students for whom um the fowl library and its resources are completely new for intermediate research researchers um we're thinking sort of upper division students and then advanced researchers might be graduating seniors working on capstone or graduate students um the nice thing about these tutorials though is that they're all broken up into components so if I look at two here I see peer review this is a video and it's it's a maximum five minute video what is the literature this is a video intermediate database thing database searching this is a video and then there's an online quiz so if you wanted for example your students to view one video here one video from tutorial one and one video from tutorial three you could absolutely mix and match those um the quizzes at um at the bottom here of each tutorial these address uh the videos that you see above however so if you're going to mix and match it probably wouldn't make sense to assign a quiz to because that information wouldn't necessarily be covered so I'm going to actually walk you through this so it'll hopefully make more sense so if I go here to tutorial two it gives you a little bit about the tutorial and then you navigate through next page here at the bottom and then the first thing you'll see is this first video about peer review I have student learning outcomes listed here and these are outcomes that are addressed in this video and underneath you'll notice we have vocabulary terms like peer review scholarly journal scholarly journal article and these are terms that are addressed in the video but also terms that as librarians as we've worked with students over the years we see as sort of like stuck points or points of confusion or or things that might need some clarification so these are really important and these also show up in the quiz at the end so I'll go to the next page and I'm plopped into our next video which is what is the literature again I have some vocabulary terms go to the next page and then this final one is sort of advanced database searching covers phrase searching and truncation we see our vocab and that's the final video so as students go to the next page what they see here is a quiz and this is a quiz that they can do online it's 20 questions so maybe max will take 10 minutes it's dynamic so if students answer a question correctly they will get feedback and students can take this quiz as many times as they would like after they complete the quiz they get a digital certificate appears that has their name and also has their score and what they can do at that point is download that they can print it they can post it to blackboard however you'd like them to get that to you they can it's just a digital pdf what I recommend and what I've done with my own courses that I've taught is requiring that students get a particular score because you don't want students to get 20% and then that's it right have them take it until they get for example an 80% and then they can upload that to blackboard some students will of course take it as often as as many times as they can to get 100% which is great each each of these three quizzes looks a little different the certificate looks a little different so if you decide to assign more than one quiz you should be able to quickly visually you know be able to visually identify which is which in your blackboard space by the way all of these quizzes and materials in the CIL lab I'm going to go back here to video tutorials tutorial two these are all open source or open access meaning you don't have to worry about proxy linking in the way that you do if you're sharing an article that's behind that lives in a database or something like that in blackboard or in an email or however you're going to communicate with your students just copy and paste the url in your browser and then this pops them in so that's pretty easy all right let's see here it's 1020 so a few more minutes I'm going to go back to the library's homepage and I'm going to navigate down to library guides if you haven't used these before these can be really useful for a course to um guides are essentially information that the librarians have curated for a topic or a skill so let me show you so that makes a little more sense so if you scroll down here you'll see subjects and each subject sort of represents a topic so if I go to chemistry right here say you're teaching a chemistry class you'll see I have two one says chem 590 that's for a guide created for a particular course and so if I open that up my colleague C1 created this and you navigate through this guide at the top but she's she's built this guide essentially to walk students through a particular assignment so we can do that for you and I'll show you shortly how to actually request a library guide go back here um and then we have more generic ones I won't open this one up but this one is about how do you sci finder so um if you if you that's part of your course you want students to use sci finder you can actually um share a link the link which again you would just share up here it's not behind a pay uh don't you don't need to put a proxy link and this guide will help them use sci finder so that's a little more more generic it's not tailored to a specific class other ones that are really popular here are under citing and writing and so we have guides for the different citation styles um that are chock full of good stuff including examples on how to cite different source types so um these are here for you also sort of more tricky or hard to find source types like if you look over here we have local and regional newspapers or national international newspapers we have a couple guides on law legal research which I know as a librarian I will tell you it's not easy same same with some of our business resources so always check here and again you can just share these with students by sharing the link if you want to work with the librarian to create a guide for your particular course we can do that just like we can craft an instruction session um so to access and again it's a form we love our forms if you go to services again navigate to services for faculty and click request request a library guide this will plop you um into a form um and actually my colleague Barbara is sort of coordinating this process but what she'll do is um look at sort of your subject area and what you want and connect you with a librarian who can um build something for you and your students all right so finally I want to actually highlight let me go back to the home page here a resource that um we recently created for information literacy and COVID-19 um because if you're following it there's a lot of misinformation out there and really confusing and I know a lot of faculty are actually incorporating COVID-19 into um into their assignments and their classes which is really cool right it's a very uh a very relevant thing right now um so I'm going to plop back in here to library guides and um what I'm going to do there are a couple ways to find this but the easiest probably is to search COVID-19 oops actually we'll just search COVID here we go and this first result um in bold it says information literacy in the COVID-19 pandemic and I'll go ahead and share this link in the chat as well so you have easy access to it here we go um and this this resource has if you look over on the left um data and media literacy assignments um most of these are pulled from the New York Times lesson of the day which was a resource I wasn't aware of until recently really good stuff here so on different topics and these again all sort of focus on data or statistical literacy so these would be really useful if you are teaching a math class or something like that um or like a media media class over this top box here on the right um these are some tools to help your students identify misinformation and also help them decipher fact versus opinion which sounds really elementary right but I took this second one this newslet quiz I did not pass it there was some opinion that I was like oh that's a fact and I was really confronted with my own bias um so this I mean this is it's not meant to be punitive right but it's more of a learning tool I'm a social when we talk about things like cognitive bias when we're engaging with media so these um this first one is just basically a list of resources that students can use like snopes and fact check um and then this one is that quiz and then there's also a fact checking video that walks through the sift method so check that out if you're interested in it and of course because I'm really interested in critical information literacy um this last box that says a bit of framing um really it talks about the importance of not only focusing on skills like knowing fact versus opinion or fake news versus real news but also asking students to think about sort of the larger media environment and things like deregulation and algorithmic bias and filter bubbles and all of that good stuff and so I have some resources down here that you can check out if you want to incorporate would like to incorporate that that piece which again I think is really really important you need some balance so um those were the resources I wanted to show you today again if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly I have plopped my email into the chat there um and at this point I'm going to turn it over to my colleague Eric and I'm going to stop sharing my screen so it's all you Eric all right let me get set up here all right good morning everyone um so during this part of the workshop I'm going to be introducing you to several online platforms to provide that provide access to digital archival content including our own institutional repository called CSDOC scholar work so let's get started so over the past 10 to 15 years many libraries and archives have devoted considerable resources to mass digitized physical photographs documents and media recordings to digitally image artifacts and other 3d objects and to capture and preserve born digital materials such as data sets as a result of this the amount of digital archival content available online has increased exponentially over the past several years allowing for increased accessibility to archival materials previously only available in physical form on site libraries and archives typically provide access to this digital archival content in one of two ways so the first being through open access digital repositories administered directly by the library or archive and these repositories make content freely and openly available the second way is through subscription based databases that are administered by for-profit publishing companies so the library and archives pay for access to this content and credentialed users must then authenticate to gain access to it since most of the digital archival content is made freely available through open access digital repositories I'm going to focus in on that today but I'll also touch upon a few of the paid databases available to you through the library toward the end of the presentation here it's also worth mentioning uh it's also worth mentioning that all of the platforms I'll cover today have a very similar discovery and display interface for interacting with the content so they are all are going to feature a single google style search box to begin your search and provide multiple options to further refine your search by subject area format type date geographic location and other elements the search results are typically displayed with tiled thumbnail images that include brief descriptions of each item and embedded viewers are available in interface to zoom in pan images and to stream sound and video recordings many even have download options that allow you to save the content for later use so let's begin with csusd scholar works um scholar works is an open access institutional repository that is administered by the file library and it showcases and preserves the research scholarship and publications of csusd faculty staff and students scholar works can be accessed via link on the main page of the library website or directly at the url listed on the fly this repository includes an array of materials from cc dissertations and research projects to digital archival content from special collections in the university archive which is what i'll be focusing in on today so the digital archival content currently available in scholar works generally falls into one of these four categories so the arthur e melton university archives regional newspapers historical photographs and oral history interviews so let's go ahead and take a closer look at each of those areas the university archives is the designated campus repository for record documents publications and other materials pertaining to csusd so beginning with the founding of the university in 1960 the university archives hold materials that document the planning development and history of our campus some key materials from the university archives that have been digitized and incorporated into scholar works include a full run of the coyote chronicle our student newspaper from 1966 to most recently 2020 and this features stories that provide insight into campus life and also the student experience at csusd we've got the csusd magazine from 1972 to 2018 that highlights significant accomplishments major initiatives and other developments at the university and finally the csusd friday bulletin that ran from 1966 through 1999 which is a newsletter that features information on campus events community activities university programs and academic department we've also got several important regional newspapers that are included in the platform so these include three historical community newspapers so the black voice news from 1978 to 2014 the inland empire hispanic news from 1987 to 2009 and the inland empire business journal from 1989 to 2014 these newspapers are a rich resource for local history research and contain news coverage of stories events and communities not well represented in an empire's larger news outlets like the press enterprise or the sun issues of the 1942 press bulletin from pops in arizona documenting japanese-american incarceration during world war two have also been digitized from library holdings and are included on scholar works as well in addition to this uh scholar works contains two historical photograph collection so first we've got the latino baseball history photograph that documents the history of latino softball and baseball with an emphasis on mexican-american baseball in the u.s. we've also got the charles clinton howell photographs and these chronicle the archaeological survey association of southern california's archaeological digs in this region from about 1947 to 1972 lastly we've got two oral history interview collections that are available on the platform so the first is the south colton oral history project that provides accounts of life in south colton which is at 1.3 square miles ethnically segregated mexican-american community within the city limits of colton california and these interviews are done with lifelong residents of the area the other is the bridges that carried us over projects that contain interviews conducted by the wilmer amina carter foundation documenting the presence and contributions of the african-american community and in an empire additional digital archival content is being added to scholar works regularly um and the repository will continue to grow the coming years with new materials that will extend both its coverage and scope even further there are also several other open access digital repositories available online that can support student research one of the most comprehensive collections of digital archival content on the web can be found on the library of congress's digital collections website this website hosts over 400 digital collections containing millions of individual items covering subject areas from american and world history to ethnography science and technology and arts and architecture several featured collections of key historical resources are also highlighted on the website for easy user access one of my favorites is their collection of sandborn maps as you can see on the slide so these maps from the late 19th to mid 20th century contain very detailed information about the city's properties and individual buildings it can be an invaluable resource for documenting changes in american cities over time the library of congress's collection actually includes many cities from in the empire including this one of and bernadina featuring its downtown and these maps can support research in a variety of directions providing many options for student based projects next the national archives and records administration or narra they host a publicly available online catalog that contains over 90 million digitized copies of records from the u.s. government's enormous collection of materials documenting important events in american history digitized records include everything from documents and photographs to film videos and sound recordings and one of the things i like best about narra's platform is how it presents multiple types of records pertaining to a specific historical event in order to provide more comprehensive coverage of that event so for example on the slide you can see you can actually you know through their website listen to president roosevelt's day of infamy speech given after the attack on pearl harbler in 1941 and also view his first annotated draft of that message so from these from these records you can see the speech originally used the phrase will live in world history but president roosevelt crossed that phrase out in favor of will live in infamy which came to be the most recognizable sound bite from that speech the digital archival content made available on narra's website make that type of comparative analysis possible which can lead to some really interesting student research project for research focus on the history of california and the western u.s. there are two excellent open access digital repositories available the first being calisphere which is administered by the california digital library calisphere provides online access to unique and historically important primary source materials in a number of formats from libraries archives and museums located throughout the entire state of california and while the emphasis is on materials pertaining to california in the western u.s. their coverage does extend beyond this to national and international topics so it can also be used for some more general research similar to calisphere is california revealed and this provides online access to archival materials such as newspapers photographs and audiovisual recordings with an emphasis on the latter all of these materials focus on stories and themes pertaining to the gold state so it's definitely california centric and is also best used for student research focused on video and film documentation of our state so now that i've covered where you can find some digital documents photographs and recordings i'm going to turn our attention to looking at some sites that host data sets the data sets can take on many forms and originate from a variety of disciplines for our discussion today i'm going to focus in on two specific types of data sets so those from the government and also social media data sets we're going to start with the u.s. government's open data which is found on the data.gov website here you can find data tools and resources to conduct research develop web and mobile applications and also to design data visualization the data set contains the data sets contained on this site originates from federal state and local government as well as universities located throughout the u.s. topical coverage includes everything from climate and energy to education finance and manufacturing. once you find a data set that is of interest to you and it's selected there's going to be a landing page for it that will look a lot like the one on the fly for the historic arrest data from the nypd the data sets are oftentimes downloadable in several different formats from simple spreadsheets like a csv file to more technical json and xml output this nypd example even has an external link to the city of york's open data website that provides additional tools for working with the data set like the ability to create data visualization directly through the web interface tool like this can be very useful for student research projects allowing them to more easily analyze and compare data and even create visual visualizations like the pie chart for offenses committed that i generated within a few minutes on the new york open data website social media data sets can also be found online and utilized for student research the doc now catalog is a collectively curated listing of twitter of twitter data sets that are generated by researchers librarians and archivists the collection currently consists of 118 data sets that contain more than four billion tweets many of the data sets reflect contemporary environmental health political and social issues such as climate change the covid-19 pandemic recent congressional elections and the black lives matter movement each data set hosted on the site had an individualized landing page that features a brief description of the data set along with its creator the subject and date's cover and the number of tweets this page also contains a link to the to download the tweet id set which is actually only a partial data set that is all the twitter terms of service will allow users to download you can however convert this back into a full data set using the doc now hydrator application which is also available for download on their website using the hydrator application you can output the full data set into either a csv spreadsheet or json format this will give you access to all of the original tweets textual data so you get the creator date tweet text links etc anything else that's on there so everything you see in the tweet on this slide sorry about that i think i forgot to advance so everything you see on the tweet on the slides in the cdc will be exported to spreadsheet form for easy data analysis so that covers a few of the larger open access digital repositories out there now let's take a look at a few of the description-based databases containing digital archival content available from the library these can be accessed from the main page of the library's website under the choose a database heading but keep in mind that since these are paid databases the library has subscribed to each database will require you to log in with your kawaii credentials for access to the content so the first one academic videos online or avon provides access to 68 000 streaming video titles from producers such as california newsreel pbs bloomberg anaburg learner semi-picture classics and others ethnic news watch provides historical coverage of native american african-american and spanish-american periodicals from 1959 to 1989 and lastly high and online this provides historical collections such as the congressional serial set federal legislative history agency reports and decisions and foreign relations of the united states again all of these are great resources for digital archival content that can support student research in a number of different ways i think that pretty much covers most

This course is Ag Biotech Solutions. Now we use the word solutions because I really want to have students develop practical solutions for the for the smallholder farmers around the world. The smallholder farmers that want to increase their yields and do it sustainably and are also looking forward and seeing potential climate instability in the future where crop yields may be less predictable because of droughts and floods. Now a couple of the different areas of innovation that we that we're promoting here are seed improvement. Now of course here at NCSSM students learn all about molecular genetics and we'll be talking about how to use recombinant DNA technology and gene editing to cut, splice, edit genomes to make crops more productive, more drought resistant, more pest resistance and generate higher yields. We'll also be looking at an area that is ripe for technological innovation and this is using the internet of things bringing the internet of things to agriculture. So farmers may install a variety or use a variety of devices that monitor the environment and give them data that they can take action on. This data might be revealed in something that every farmer should have in the near future a smartphone. We think that this course it's very practical but it's also pretty advanced in taking the best of science that's being generated here in North Carolina and extending it around the world to catalyze economic development and promote sustainability.


We're gonna work some of our three-year-olds that we're getting ready for the fertility and a couple of two-year-olds also and just kind of show you how we how we do things. So this is a WR this cat smart mare out of a Lizzie's got a player mare. What I've kind of found with her she has finally gotten pretty broke but she didn't want to in the beginning but the more I got her just working the cow kind of on her own and not doing much to her the more comfortable she got and then as I got her kind of solider and more hooked on the cow I was able to go back and kind of pick on some things as smooth her out in some places and on this side here I try to step her to the outside of that cow as much as I can so that she'll have to look back in with that right eye her outside eye try to get them both both eyes on that cow. Kind of learned to be aware of what cows you're working I heard Gary Belfont say one time and coincidentally it was on a one of Duncan's videos but he said you know if you're if you're working just average for your uncows you got to lower your expectations don't expect to do anything dynamic and just consider it you're trying to get experience for your horse the experience of going back and forth with the cow don't expect to you know hit big stops and everything be pristine necessarily kind of got a little active right there and I just drew her back in there and said look settle down and just stay right with this cow. Remember that cow kind of gets done like that and just trots over there at that point you can't really try to stop it you just got to stay beside it so I just kind of secured her but her nose okay just to trot with it and stay slow and comfortable and then that time she kind of did she just settled in there and waited on that cow to do something she keeps coming just a scotch quick right there off that side so I'll draw her and make her way same thing right here she read good right there that cow started to go to my left and then changed its mind and she didn't didn't miss it at all like her smoothing that out a little more just stay soft across that turns I'll turn her all the way around


Welcome back, this is S.P.M. Baz, my name is Selda, of course, pala kwenya mi chandia ke jamis kuzote, muna ni fahamuna, kandangu ni kuna a legend, a mentor, a former manager, of course, a CEO, a radio presenter, working with energy radio. And we're here live at K University for amazing, amazing course. Moli Murecho, welcome to S.P.M. Baz. Happy new year. The last time I saw you was... What was it? Was it an event? I remember one of the events. Yes, the last time I saw you. What are you doing? Grud, of course. Ni kiangalia pala kwenya social media zako. You're posting, you're living large, you're investing, you're securing the future as well. Pia kwenya mi tenak, it's like there's something special about you because when you speak, the internet comes to stand still. Nairobians now shift their attention to here. What Moli Murecho is saying, of course, Moli Murecho is always right. Once a teacher, always a teacher. What is happening? I wouldn't say I'm always right, Kido, but what I do is I speak my truth and I speak it confidently and with a clear mind and clear conscience. So I guess some people understand that and some people sometimes rub off the wrong way and nothing much you can do there. It's whoever wants to get the truth, they'll get it, they'll understand. Whoever just wants to start drama is also going to start drama. What do you mean by starting drama? What do you mean by drama? No, I mean sometimes in a recent podcast that I was at, people didn't even watch the podcast. Many bloggers took a headline, ran with it, edited it to suit their agenda. So I was just like, okay, there's no winning. When it comes to spaces where everybody has a voice and an opinion, everyone is entitled to the opinion. So you let it just flow and you let it happen. So I'm all right. I don't think kuna matusi sigiaona by now. Unless somebody comes up with an original one. I mean, nikawahida. It's part of what you also signed up for being in the entertainment industry. So salavi. You're telling me about kuna matusi sigiaona. It means now, do you remember maybe a moment like this matusi? Is there a word maybe you felt like when you went to the social space, whatever to a keyboard, Kido was like, this is becoming now too personal. It is always personal, especially for us as women, whenever we are in these social media spaces and people are coming at us, they'll always hit out our sexuality, they will hit at our body image, they will hit at everything to do with, you know, what we look like. So it's something that again, like I've said, I mean, I've been in this industry now. I've been in my 17th year as a personality, radio, TV, online personality as well. So you take it all in stride. In fact, I don't even go through those comments. Once in a while I'll open, I'll enter, for example, X. Nafunguwa even do na patana na kumbora pa. And then I just brush it to the side and I focus.  Yeah, the social streets. I'm busy, but I mean, it's confusing. It's confusing. We'll clean it up and post. I mean, it's confusing. I'm getting, in fact, the same same influencers up and going, you know, 92C. Now, apatia cash. Whereas idea kufush, biya sharaflani, I'm borrowing. Mimi kampuniangwe ma reksime kwa contracted to do. So in the life. Why don't you open the socials? Sorry? Why don't you open your socials? I do open them. What do you mean I don't open them? They're very open. People tag me. I do respond whenever I can. It's a matter of I choose what is important to me. It's very important for you to. Many times, you know, we're on our phones like this.   See the world. Sometimes we get lost in the virtual world. We forget there's the reality. The reality is that bills have to be paid. I have to be a parent. I have to take care of myself, my mental state as well. I need to engage in active activities. I need to meet my friends. I need to chill out. I need to go on holiday. There's so many things that we get to do on a daily basis. I took one in social media till that time. But you see this social media gives money at the end? Yeah. And that's why you employ people to run it. Right. How many people do you have running your social media? How many social media managers do you have? I have two at the moment. Yeah. Two at the moment. So I have for myself, my company. I've employed young people and they're all fresh from college, from uni. Yeah. In fact, the other day I was recruiting my apprentices. So I've started this sort of a program where I'm onboarding fresh graduates, fresh guys from colleges. So that because I mean there was crying. We have no places to go for attachment. We have no places to be employed. Who is going to take that leap of faith? Many potential employers are also saying, hey Genziz, we can't. They're too much. It's a headache. We can't work with them. But I am going against that. I'm saying, you know what? I believe if you are patient enough, because it's a labor of love. It's sacrifice for you to take the time and be patient with them and teach them how you want things to be done. Yeah, those will be difficult. See how you can work around it. Waliambao ni good from their own start. It's great for everyone, you see. So the end of the day, it's giving young people an opportunity to learn, to be introduced into the industry that I'm at. And it's value for everyone at the end of the day. Yeah. What is the experience so far working with Genziz? Man, Genziz, I love them. I feel like I click with them, especially when our ideas connect. They're very creative, super creative. I'm in the creative space and I always need that injection of new ideas, new blood, new energy and honor. It can't always be my way. They come in and they show me a different way of doing things and I'm like, I love it. And they challenge me to also get out there more and not just be at my social or safe space. Na toka tunahenda tunahshut bubaba barabarani tunahcollecta contentia tu sisiwenyewe kwewa na appendia ifosana. It is also a bit challenging because being new in any environment, obviously for them, they are learning. So they'll make mistakes and sometimes mimi na hitunezona suma but that's such a, you know, common sense would have shown you better. But no, they honestly don't know so take the time. Waleze. Wapileka na speed kidogo lakini piya sa zingine kanyaga breki sa zingine ongeza mafuta kidogo ifo ifo. Alafum nasongambele pamoja. Do you believe working with Genzi will help you maybe rebrand elevates to another level to stay more relevant in the game? Ya, I think it's a win-win situation. My experience, obviously experience will always help you get further but you need new, like I said, energy. You need new ideas in order for you to elevate. So yes, they are there to help me get to that next level but I'm also there to introduce them to even start thinking in a different way. Like for the team that I have right now, they may be creatives and that's great. But are they seeing how that creativity can be turned into money and that's why I come in because of my experience and my work and my investment story and all that. So they now get to understand a different angle of creativity is good, it's fun. Collecting content is great, it's fun but e-content it and it's idea in terms of money in my pocket. You mentioned about energy. How do you recharge your energy? Because of late, I don't know your state of mind right now. What is your mental state right now? It's very good. In fact, I'll be honest, I was very surprised with myself. I think, honestly, the version you're seeing now very different from how we'd have reacted two, three years back because like I said, Uki shiazoeshwa umeyona the same pattern umeyona you can predict. Even on that podcast, I said I know this is going to come. I know I'm going to train because of saying this. I know people come for me. I don't want any drama lakin in doyo ikato kia. So, Uki shiazoeshwa you are and you cannot predict history repeats itself, you know. So, niliyona and kasewa, here we go. Nika respond kwa nubuyangu, rafkiangu okto na yoi kaishi apu. And it's not from a bad place. The same thing I said in the podcast as well. And I hope he knows that. I hope he saw the podcast and I know the headlines. Okto. I hope he saw the podcast. Because you normally predict the future. How are you becoming this? Because you need to get yourself back. Yeah. What is the recovery process? It's not really recovery. It's just focus on what's important. Honesty, focus. I'm alive, you know. How do you focus? Listen. Kido. I am alive. That's it. I am alive. I was driving to work today and I was so happy. You know, good weather. I was happy to go to the show. I knew I was going to have a wonderful day. And I'm like, the one thing you must always tell yourself is you are alive. Nothing else will matter after that.  Mindi yoi na unaeza kwa unaeza. Kilamcha kuna stay second na klia na pitiya. Nona. Kiki kumusha imagine you are alive. Kuna watu sayi labdata hawa jwezi. Watu wa mekufa. Watu wa na wish wangeko paliwe uko. You are here now. The good lord is giving you a chance to try again and again and again to get to your dreams. Right? What else you need? You have life. Imagine. Nothing else matters. I am alive. Nothing else matters. Most of the people take life for granted because you know what is happening in the country. Most of young people are trying to, you know, when things are becoming hard.  You have seen the rise of famizide in the country. You know? You are overcoming this. You know? Is it the economic harsh times? Yeah. My heart really goes out to the youth right now. They are facing so much. From joblessness, hopelessness, negativity, self-doubt. Nona. Nona. And that's why if every one of us who can offer positivity gave that positive. You know the world needs more positivity right now more than ever before. If we focus and said every day I will say something online to encourage someone. I will slide in the DMs and tell them keep on what you're doing. I love what you're doing. I love your content. Who am Nona to kwa page zeno? Wakatim na post. Namimu wana penda. Wakatu kucheka tuta check up amodya. When it's to give a word of encouragement if it's to say this is not right, something needs to be done. Raise your voice. You see? In the DMs people come to me and they tell me, you know, or maybe actually I see some content like Akinasa Miro and Shigwan. Yeah? Penda sana. And I make sure they know that I am the number one fan. I may not do much in terms of encouraging them. I don't know. But I want them to know. I see you. I love what you're doing. Keep doing that. Any other page. Yata kama nimtu ambaisi celebrity. Ukiwana anafana kituzuru. Unamun courage. Unam patia mawaida. Kidogo ama unam patia motisha. And that positivity spreads. And may I honestly believe? Blessings also come through that. Okay, so take time to talk to these young people in your offices. Pale kwa dukau kipatenanamtu. Labdai iwa word of encouragement will prolong or make them think about instead of going to off myself, let me give it one more try. You see, words are powerful. Taking time to listen to people is very powerful. So let's do more of that. More of that, of course. We're supposed to be doing more of that now. You know, when you post something on your social media, of course you're always there to encourage, to educate, maybe to inform. Do people really consume your message in a positive way? Because anytime you're trying to even raise a positive criticism online, about if you want to criticize something, people see it as something different. There's always that shift. People take it negative. Do you feel like now you don't need to speak no more? You don't need to say anything? Because at the end, people will still come back to... How much will come back continue? Listen, I am a storyteller first and foremost. That's why I've been on radio for all these years. I have to tell my story, I have to tell other people's stories. It's what I do. I will never stay quiet when I feel passionately about something. There will always be somebody in social media. You could be saying I love the color white. Somebody will come and say, oh, so you hate the red. So you don't like this. There will always be somebody saying something contrary to what you're saying. Sometimes just don't respond. Again, look at the positive comments, the people who actually resonate with your message. Go where you are appreciated, respond to the people who appreciate you, and keep it moving. Don't waste your energy on people who... By the way, ata-ata kumbuka kiliwali kwantikiake shoyake. You know, they write it maybe out of anger or stress. Next week. How are you ata kumbuki? Oh, nili mtrolu unikasema 1, 2, 3. They don't.  Where do you feel appreciated? Do you feel people still value respect you in the social space? I mean, yeah. And it's not for me to say whether they respect me or not. Because I cannot live by people's opinions, kiddo. I cannot. I do not care whether they love me or don't love me. What I care about is, am I the best version of myself every day? Am I improving? Is there a girl? That's what I was telling you. I surprised myself this time around. Naila e hiting kwa na poke apale kwa ex. Ateniaza kujibiza na eivi-ivi 1 by 1. Ay, ay, ay, ay. My mind is very clear. Focus on what's important. That is growth to me. I congratulate myself and say, good job, Richo. You rose above it. You said what needed to be said and you left it at that. So, that to me is more important than whether people love or respect me. The ones who do and they come and tell me, I take that love. I really do. And I don't take it for granted. The ones that don't, it's okay. Do you feel like right now in the space you are right now, you've learnt from mistakes you've met before that you can never want to wish to do it again because of, anytime you speak things take a different time? Yeah, yeah, I've learnt how to express me self better, especially on social media. You know, before I'd assume people understand what I'm saying. So, I keep it short and sweet. or I don't, I don't agree with you on this. And I say something different and we agree okay we see things differently, and that's it, na mushei en dele lakene of course social media bin, social media people will really ma taniyadama, tusu kondani what to do, so I've learned and I've grown and I know there's more growth to come. So I'm open to that and I'm open to the universe Surround yourself with people who to say man come a mentor, ambao piya niwa kubwa kukuliku, ambao onona ambali, ambao watakwati ya mawaida and sometimes they'll even call you out.  No, tawas kizo, say mawa kusawa, inye ni li kosaia, now I know better. Don't surround yourself with yes men and yes women and people who are always telling you, au kusawa, au kusawa, you can do no wrong. It's a lie, those are not your friends. Your real friends, yes, they'll love you and you'll know that they love you and even when you do wrong, they'll correct you with love. Say mawa, una jwenim tawangusawa, lakini hapa kidogo, uli choma. Akinikuja tu have lunch. Nikiku ambi asasa vinyoneza, correct. That's the people I surround myself.  Keep those people close. Do you have real friends? I do. How many friends do you have? I'm not counting family. What is the special about these five people? Three of those friends held me down when I was in campus. They are ladies. They covered me when I was at work. I left for Kulukuna surprise cut. So those are the three and we've known each other ever since even after campus. In fact, tonight a holy day very soon. I'm so excited because of that. And then the other two friends, one has been a mentor to me in radio for many years. Is that person who calls me out and tells me hapa kidogo, me choma. Kidogo me choma. Is that person? Anaji juwa. Anaji juwa. Anaji juwa. If I was to replace one of the friend is a male friend, would that happen? If you were to do what? Replace one of your female friend. With a male friend. Is there room for you adding? Is this you're trying to ask if you can have a male friend in your life without any strings attached? Funny things in Yajipata kwa situation. I do believe that yes, ladies can be friends with men, but boundaries, very clear boundaries have to be set. Very clear boundaries have to be set so that and even time spent, you can't spend every day with someone and think that uta kwa neutral. Kido kwa feelings naeza handa. Unaza kumakalia different. Kupa na kwa kana smanzu ribi. Una waka laki naeza, nae yao biha tzimbaya. In that situation before? No, no, no, no. If it's no, if it's a friend, it's a friend. I've never been too close with someone to a point where feelings change and become romantic. If it's romantic, it will be romantic from day one. And I will know all the attributes that I like about this person. If it is a friend, it is a friend. In fact, most of the time it's a collab and it will be a shout out to Nafanya Pamoja, amatuko kwa radio, amatuko kwa social events. Ya. Because we mentioned about no mumbo yama pensi, attributes, if you love someone, just to ask you this, I know it's random. Uliza, ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni ni. I don't know if the right time to ask you this, but I'm sorry to say this. I don't know what you take about love. What about love? What is the understanding of love? Love is a beautiful thing, but love is also... can be scary as we have seen. Many people do many bad things in the name of love. So you have to get into love knowing that you can live logic behind. You know, love is my feelings. Sendio. My feelings nipoa. Laki ni piya inki anakili. Kusisa hawa. Na wuki jisa hawa, sasama beshteza kuna fukwambia oya. Kiza? Kusi jisa hawa, you stop hanging out with us because now you're in love with this person. You still are your own person, first and foremost. So take time also away from this person that you love, build, you know, grow yourself, spend time alone, discover more things about yourself. It even makes that relationship interesting because you'll come back and tell, hey, guess what I did today? Oh wow, I missed you away for a week when you were on vacation. And here so how was it? Sikila wakachim kwa moji evi mwa moji evi. Atam taboeka. Talking about love, marriage, of course we've seen recently celebrities, you know, breaking up. You know, I don't want to, I don't need to send, I don't need to mention names. But I don't know... All over the world, kwanza. It's not just in time. These people are rushing for... people rushing into marriage. Is there marriage in the protestant meaning? What is understanding for what when they got their marriage? I don't know even the right... Exactly. Kiniu na kukundu sa mimi mamba ya relationships, mimi mamba ya marriages, mimi. I am not the person atam mimi, I'm trying to figure it out. I don't have the answers, I really don't. I don't know what challenges you are there, right? Yes, I did have a man in my life. If you do that time to this time, you can share with us maybe the experience, the journey. What has changed? I think it's just a lot of pressure in the world now. Everybody is trying to look like another couple, maybe you're comparing yourselves. Oh, we are mefanyu, evi mipiyanataka. Social media. One of you is Maisha Watuengi, Sanapele social media. We think it's what it is, but it's very different from reality. So you're adding unnecessary pressure to the relationship. I say this, but we are mefanyu, evi mipiyanataka. See you. What do you mean by time? Given the chance you'll go back to marriage? Oh yeah, marriage is a beautiful thing. I don't see anything wrong with the they say it's a constitutional marriage. It's nice. It has its benefits. If you're getting into it, again, Akili. Yeah, so I wouldn't say you don't get married. I also wouldn't say Will you go back? Would I get married? Why not? Kwa ni? What is that one thing you're missing? We're missing about marriage. It's been so long. How many years? It's been long. Four years now. When you miss about marriage? I guess that companionship. Companionship. Yeah, Ilea. Siku mekwa VP, challenges nambazo naeza or flowed kido gom tuakaisa kusahidi ane na nene. So I think that's what people really crave for in any relationship, not even just only, not only in marriage. We wanna say we were not created to be alone. We are. The way we were created, munga luku ataki, no man is an island, no honor. So having that special someone in your life adds something extra, which is a good thing. Is that something you wish to change when you get back to marry? When you get married? I'd say I think it's have I changed? It's not about the relationship. It's me. I like to take responsibility for my in my relationships, right? So kikachini alafu fikiriye am I a better person now than who I was before? Do I understand relationships better now than I did before? Am I more accommodating? Am I more patient? Am I more even creative when it comes to keeping the fire burning in the relationship? So it's I'm clearly not the same person I was. I have to do it for a year. Where now, eh? Wachakazanda nisana sheche. Sheche wachakazanda nisana. You'll see. You'll imagine when I had you on there. That's all I can say. I'm happy now. Yeah? What for being happy? Yeah. I'm slower to speak. I take, I bite my tongue. Kuchama li kwa niwa, wala, wala. Skwizi. Anafu fikiriya kwanza. And you think about it and then later even the next days when you say okay. So this is what I think. Yeah. So you don't want to say something? I didn't? You don't want to say something? I don't want to say. I've already said it. Be slow to speaking. We women talk too much sometimes. We talk too much. I know and there's going to be someone in the comments. Ma'amana say, radio TV Nmingi. So that Nitoi. But nana nyumba to liya. There's always debate online who should know be the head of the family. At times now, right now, with the conditions, we need to split. We need to agree. Like I'll pay the fees, I'll do the shopping, you'll handle this. For me, space. We really need to share our finance like on table. We split have a joint account. Ya know, I can't speak on a life, I am not experiencing right now. The opportunities are maybe, may I pose to you because I'm not in there. You understand me? I can only talk about me, myself and I. Malimurecho, MCSK CEO. Of course MCSK unable to account for the realities collected in 2023. Around 56 million. Now I believe you are in the entertainment scene, you are in the music industry. What is really happening? I wish I knew, I wish I knew, Kido I'll be honest. I and I think many creatives, musicians especially have been wondering the role of MCSK, how the royalties are collected, how it's distributed. There's never been a clear answer and I think Nonini would be the best person to ask when it comes to this question. He has taken it upon himself to take certain individuals to court or to just ban it out legally. So he would be the best person to answer, even I'm waiting for the answers myself. Many, what I know is that many musicians have, they lack faith in MCSK as a body of collecting royalties. So if the truth comes out and change is affected and done and there's transparency, then they will also feel more encouraged to register with MCSK. Right now I wonder if artists are even registering with MCSK, our mother just say, you know what, we know we're not going to get royalties. Let's just focus on stage performances, getting gigs, going to these clubs and concerts. That's what we're going to make our money. New pandemangina is still a bit murky, so I wish everything just works out in the end for the artists. Can the artists ascend themselves with shows, views, endorsement alone? I think right now a lot of these streaming platforms are out giving artists the avenue to collect significant amount of money. I mean, Akina Bumple being one of them, you know. So that's encouraging. We're seeing artists, at least they can see, you know, up on a jionea, how many people streamed, how much money has been collected for you and everything. So I think artists are focusing on the streaming sites, them getting the gigs and the shows. That's what they're seeing. At least money is coming in that I can see for myself where it's coming in from. So it's our idea, but it's just a strategy where we come from. What are you doing to make sure that you're top of mind for these corporates to give you gigs? How are you branding yourself online as well? Gone are the days where an artist just posts about their music and thinks that's enough. It's not enough. Right now what I think is everyone is a content creator whether you like it or not. Everyone, if you're already a presenter, you'll have to be a content creator on social media. TV presenter, same. Musician, actor, whatever, sports personality, you are by default automatically a content creator. So how are you going to make money from that? That's the question. Are musicians really content creators? Yes. What do you mean? Of course they are. No. 1 is kiki zao. Kiki zao when he's on me. Who are these artists with kiki? One at Ulekan and one online. Can I suggest names? No need. And I'm not even trying to bash. It's their strategy for pushing their music. If it works for them, well and good. If it doesn't, change tact. Talking about money. Of course, you once manage sales. What is the highest amount of money you earn from MSK during those days, those times? You want to be shocked and then see this trend again. We actually never registered with MSK. We did not register it. We just focused on concerts, gigs, corporate endorsements. That's how we did it. Why? For what? For what? I know maybe, or put it like this. By the time we were, we had started the process. Initially, our mind was just on gigs, gigs, gigs. By the time now, I was told, hey, there's this thing called MSK and your boys need to register for it. We had started the process of inquiring how to do it. And I knew there was a number you're going to be given. We had already made inquiries. But that was also towards the end of the relationship. The management relationship that we had. You mentioned you didn't register with MSK. Of course, you were a manager. What was the main source of revenue for sales? Because apart from shows? Gigs. Gigs are left us at the skizotunes, the streaming platforms. The highest amount of money you earn from streaming platforms? Skizotunes. Can't remember. Can't remember. You can't remember? You can't be accountable. Can't remember. Because that was a very long time ago. But you can ask them, they have the records, the streaming platforms. And you know they don't just give you money at once in Alamsam. It's broken down quarterly. So by the time you sit down now to account for everything. And to be honest, it was a matter of whatever money is coming in, you set an amount aside. And then now, nika ma Mishaara, tu lupo Mishaara. Situ na chukwa, tu kila kituna empty. Because then your coffers are empty. And you won't be able to shoot videos. You won't be able to go for shows. And cater for something, expenses. Mishaara lupo kama gapu, kwa na anka ma gapu kama izi? I'm not going to answer that. Those days. I'm not going to answer that. Highest amount of money you earn from YouTube? From YouTube views. Highest amount? No. It's no need. Good money? There's no need. See, remember what I told you, I'm learning. Yeah, I'm also learning. What not to say, what is important. And I wish we could move on. You know sometimes they can move on from Mambuia sailors.  They moved on. Oh, you're just better because they moved on. No, I'm not. But they want to. Why haven't you moved on? Have I not moved on? You people have not moved on. Have you moved on? These questions. That question in its own. What indication is there to show that I've not moved on? I have been winning awards as a CEO of my company. I have been. Thank you. Africa recognition. I have been mentoring young people. I've been holding sessions. We had one just the other day. Mentoring, you know, campus guys. I am going into corporate world a bit more when it comes to doing business B2B. That is moving on. Instead of being stuck in something happened many years ago. Kenya's passion of moving on is that you having an interview without mentioning even a sailor's word. But if you don't ask questions that I won't answer. But it's you people who ask me the question. So if I don't answer, it's like, oh, she has something to hide. If I answer, oh, you have not moved on. So that's what I'm talking about. Muambia kira kido. Stop asking Waliwul Rachel questions about sailors. Because if they ask, because I also understand, you know, I've done what you've done, right? Interviews and I still do it.  I would have felt bad if I was you and you've asked me a question and I refused to answer. I'm like sasa. Do you have a right not to comment as well? I do. But I think it's, I am too empathetic. I place myself in the shoes of the journalist. I'm like, let me give him the answers or heard the answers that they want. But Len is letting me in trouble.  How do you feel when you see when you comment something about them? Then one of the few members responding, you know, it's more of like, he's disrespecting you. Yeah. So it's all, it's within his right. Someone who raised, mentored. So In the music industry. That's how you not moved on. I simply don't care. I don't care. I really honestly genuinely do not care. I'll be asking you a last question about sailors. Of course, one of the sailors member, you know, currently right now is admitted. We saw Eric Komondi. Oh, wait, he was re-admitted. Oh. Say, I will just say who are you and figure out who are timeline. But who is it? Come on, you're in the social space. Like I said, I'm busy. I'm busy living my life, my real life out of social media. We saw Eric Komondi coming through for Miracle Baby. He's calling Kenyans, appealing Kenyans to raise a certain amount of money just to clear the hospital bill. What's the question? You've seen it? Yes. You tried to reach? No, honestly, truthfully, I saw it today earlier because, you know, I was on my show earlier on, so me, I just focused on my show. I saw it as the show ended when I was getting ready to come here. I've seen a small clip because somebody tagged me. And I'm like, what Eric is doing and has been doing for many Kenyans is not just Miracle Baby. It's very noble and, by the way, I really applaud him and I feel like as a poor sana he's reinstilling a lot of faith in humanity not you as Kenyan people. And I wish Miracle Baby a quick recovery. Ali kwa na yoshi tawakati ali kwa nili kwa managerake it was early stages, I think. He had shared that issue with me I believe a big chunk of the change in order for him to be a bit healthier is lifestyle. Lifestyle change and this is something I also told him. So, don't drink. I guess he stopped. Eat healthier. I know, saipa nilabde me fika piya e me... What could be the reason? I'm not a doctor. Not a medical expert. But you've been with him. What was the first time he told you about the issue? What is the issue about? I honestly, again, I just knew something up with his stomach. That's all I know. That's all I know. I thought at first it was maybe the ulcers and boy we made sana but I wish him quick recovery. So, about lifestyle the way because artists live large. Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. You know, with everything, with everything. You mentioned to stop drinking. I don't know. I said maybe he already did. Usini miskotwe What I'm saying is with any kind of healthy living and I speak this also for myself, right? You need to really watch your lifestyle especially yes, in the entertainment space as well that don't party too hard, take time to rest rest your body. Because you'll be here there everywhere. You're chasing the bag. That's great.  Take time for self recovery. Sleep it well and your body will pay you in kind because of that. No, no. So in this case, like I said, I wish him all the best. Is this the main challenge, the main issue in the music industry with artists? In terms of lifestyle? How would you know? I'm not in that circle anymore. Like I said, it's been a while. So I don't know what people are consuming now. We don't hang around artists as much but all I know is people are busy chasing the bag. What do you want to chase bag, man? What do you mean you don't hang around with artists? You don't have an artist friend that you normally look for sit down. You don't trust artists no more? It's not about trust. It's just I'm not in that space anymore. So me ni maa mabuana ni konamjutu hangu. Ni ki toka kazi ni nyumbani homework. Ki toka nyumbani ni kazi ni biasyara.  You need to pick where does it matter. What makes sense to you? None matter. So how long have you been in this? How long have I?  I'm not avoiding, I'm not trying to be alone, Kido. Trust me, no. I surround myself with my people, my circle of friends. Wasani nikazi, usani pali yo nikazi. Separate? No, I don't go to their houses. I don't hang out with them at their concert and sit with them because you need to be able to separate your work life and your life life, so to speak.  So what I do is, like for instance, people that I cheer for, I think they're doing a lot of work and they're putting in their work and they're doing well.  But I couldn't interview, I catch up with them. And ineshia po, naopiwa najua the role that I play. Everybody has a role to play. Malimuwa, so you wind up. Is there someone you can trust in the music industry with an information or anything? Is there someone you can trust? Trust is earned. You don't just go around trusting anyone and everyone. You can't trust everyone. Trust yourself first with what you know. Get the information, vet the information, research on whatever it is that you're looking for and then act according to now what your instincts tell you. That's the best way. That means you have trust issues. Everybody has trust issues. If all of us trusted everybody and everyone, we wouldn't be locking our houses. We wouldn't be, we'd walk anywhere, anyhow, at any hour, you know. Laziimu wu yuwe, you watch your back and you watch who you're with, what you can say, what you'd rather keep to yourself for that particular point in time. Si kila mtombara kumbea mazuri pia.

You came to me with a gun. You call it righteousness. Call it by its right name. Murder. Have gun. Will travel. Starring Mr. John Daner as Paladin. San Francisco. 1875. The Carlton Hotel. Headquarters of the man called Paladin. Oh, Miss Wong. Oh, Mr. Paladin. I'm sorry I frightened you, didn't I? You're going to knock on your door and all of a sudden you come out. Oh, you surprised Miss Wong. You're making the rounds a little earlier this morning, aren't you? Lisa, many extra rooms to be cleaned for new guests. Big and begins today. Oh, that's right. I'd forgotten. That's right. Looks like I'll miss all the excitement. Where are you going, Mr. Paladin? To Greenwood. Oh, is that long way from San Francisco? No, not far. It's about 30 miles. I think maybe you come back before convention ends. Miss Wong, if it's like that last convention we had at the Carlton, I'd just as soon as stay away until it's over. I'll say it was. I'll say it was. Oh, me. Miss Wong, remember something else, too. What's that? They make plenty big mess in rooms. I'll bet. I'll bet. Well, that stage you'll be leaving in a few minutes. I'd better get downstairs. Now, don't work too hard, Miss Wong. You have a nice trip, Mr. Paladin. Thank you. For some years now, we've been asking you to send your dollars to care to help the hungry and needy overseas. Here's what some of those dollars have done. They've bought milk and sterilization equipment so that 100,000 schoolchildren in Israel can have a glass of milk every day. Thanks to this equipment, Israel is now providing its own milk for these children so the next care dollars can go to help another needy area. Your care dollars have sent medical instruments and laboratory equipment to a new small hospital being built in the Philippines. This hospital will bring the first medical care to this area in centuries. Care dollars have furnished farm tools, building machinery, cotton cloth, and other needs so that refugees in Vietnam could erect 27 villages. But there's much more to be done and many more people to be helped in all parts of the world. Won't you continue to help?  It had been two years since I'd seen Clem Brady, the sheriff of Greenwood. Now he was asking for my help. His letters seemed urgent. I welcomed the opportunity to renew his friendship and to get away from San Francisco for a few days. Clem wasn't in his office when I arrived, so I went over to the local dining room for a late midday meal and a cup of coffee. The place was empty except for a young couple sitting on the other side of the room. A rather unusual couple. The girl, the most strikingly beautiful young lady I'd ever seen. My admiration must have been fairly obvious, for at one point she returned an embarrassed smile. This prompted her escort to step over to my table. Hey, you! Yes? Keep your eyes off my girl. I... I suppose I was staring, but no harm intended. You're new here, aren't you? That's right. Well, let me warn you. Don't be flirting with her again. I wasn't flirting. Call it what you like. Just remember what I said. Now you look, mister... Hey! Clem, Clem Brady. Oh, yeah. They told me you were by the office. What's going on here? Oh, this young man and I were just having a friendly conversation. It looked to me like he was about to tear at each other's throat. What's the matter, Sam? Nothing, Sheriff. Nothing at all. I didn't know he was a friend of yours. Uh, just a misunderstanding, Clem. I was admiring the young lady over there, and he got the wrong impression.  You gotta be careful, boy. Yeah, I... I guess I was in the wrong again, Sheriff. Sorry. Remember what I say, Sam? That boy protects her like a bandy rooster. Maybe he's got a good reason. He's quite a beauty. Ain't she, though? Well, sit on, Clem. Have a cup of coffee with me. As well. We'll get you a cup if that waiter ever comes out of the kitchen. Oh, he'll be out. It sure is good to see you, Paladin. I didn't know whether you'd be able to come or not. Why not? It's about time we met up again. Bye, Sheriff. Hello, Sheriff Clem. Hello, Martha, now. My, my, my, she is a charmer. Yeah. She's pitiful, though. Pitiful? Part of the reason I asked you to come up here. How's that? It was her husband that was killed. Uh-huh. Not more than six weeks ago. Just a boy, Paladin, barely turned 20. Sure set this town on its haunches. Oh, I got pressures all around me to clear this up. How did it happen? Well, the boy had been gambling at the saloon. He'd won a lot of money and left the table around midnight. He was ambushed in an alley about a block away. Robbed? Yeah. Poor kid was from back east. Him and Martha Nell had just been here a couple of months. So far there hasn't been one lead I could nail down. What about the men who lost money to him that night? Every one of them has a good alibi. Maybe it was a stranger passing through so the boy winning and then waited for him to leave. I don't think so. We don't have many visitors in this town, especially on a Monday night. That's when it happened. I'm sure it was somebody right here in town. Do you think he's still here? Nobody's left town or acted suspicious or anything. How'd the girl taken? Pretty bad at first, but Sam's been a lot of help to her. Yeah, how does he figure in this? He'd known her husband back east. He's the only one they knew when they came out to settle here. After the killin' he sort of took charge. He's done a good job of it, too. From the looks of things, he'll probably end up getting married.  Where do I start, Clem? The main thing is to get to know the people that was in the saloon that night. Maybe with a fresh mind on it, you might discover something I've overlooked. Was the boy in the habit of gambling? No, it's just it. It was the first time anyone ever knew of him visiting the saloon. Martha Nell can tell you about that. Then I should go have a talk with her first. That's a good idea. She works over at the general store. Right. Well, I'm gonna have a cup of coffee with you and better go in the kitchen and get it myself. Thank you, Martha Nell. Bye. I'm sorry she took so long, Mr. Paladin. It's all right. Now, I've forgotten the last question you asked.  Yes, well, it was kind of a celebration for Roy. He'd gotten his first paycheck from the freight office, and I'd just gotten my job here at the store. It seemed that everything was beginning to come our way. He and Sam came by for me when the store closed and the three of us went over to the dining room. Roy bought us the biggest steak suppers on the menu. Your husband worked with Sam at the freight office? Yes. Sam got him the job there. What happened after supper? Well, Roy wanted to buy Sam a celebration drink, so they took me back to the rooming house and left to go to the saloon. That's the last time I saw Roy alive. Why didn't Sam come home with him? Well, Roy was having such good luck at the gaming tables he didn't want to leave. So Sam came on back to the rooming house. Does he live at the same place you do? He did then. He had the room across the hall from ours. When he came back, he knocked on my door and told me Roy'd be home later. It wasn't more than an hour after that when Sheriff Clem came and told me what had happened. Oh, Sam. Hi. You got off early? Yeah. Thought maybe we could take a ride out to Willow Grove. All right, but you'll have to wait till we close. I have to lock up tonight. You, um, buying up the store, Mr. Paladin? Sam. Well, he's been in here long enough. Do you keep tabs on everybody who comes into this store, Sam? There ain't much going on in Greenwood that I don't know about, especially when it concerns Martha Nell. Sam, Mr. Paladin was just asking me some questions about Roy's murder. He's helping Sheriff Clem. Look, Paladin, Sheriff knows as much about this as Martha Nell does. You let him give you all the answers. There's no need for you to get her all upset. It's better she forget about this whole thing. I don't mind answering questions, Sam, if it'll help them find the killer. I know what's best for you. Just let me handle it. Oh, Sam. You may be right, Martha Nell. I did take up quite a bit of your time. I didn't mind, really, Mr. Paladin. Well, thanks anyway. Perhaps I'll be seeing you again before I leave town. Good day. Try new king-size Philip Morris Commanders. New because the tobacco in them is vacuum-cleaned, and the cleaner the tobacco, the better it tastes. Yes, the cleaner the tobacco, the better it tastes. Philip Morris Commanders are made by a new kind of machine, the Mark 8, that takes rich, full-flavored tobacco. And first, gently vacuum-cleans it, then rolls the cigarette fully, evenly, cuts the ends clean and firm. The result is new Philip Morris Commanders, with the cleanest tobacco ever rolled in a cigarette. Try a pack. You'll get a full round king-size of solid-smoking pleasure because the cleaner the tobacco, the better it tastes. Noticeably better. Have a commander! Welcome aboard! I spent the first two days in Greenwood getting acquainted with the men who had been at the poker table with Martha Nell's husband the night he was killed. As far as I could determine, Sheriff Brady was right, they all had good alibis. And they were all anxious to help us find the man who did it. I also spent a couple of hours each night in the saloon talking to the regulars and to the barkeep. No, sir, Mr. Paladin. Have that been a stranger in here that night? I don't remember. Strangers stick out like sore thumbs in this town. Care for another drink? No, no, thank you. Has there been any suspicious rumors about who could have done it? Not that I've heard. Oh, Paladin. Hi, hello, Klan. Where you been all day? Out in the countryside talking to some of the men who were in here that night. Care for a drink, Sheriff? Yeah, make it rye, Barney. Yes, sir. What'd you find out? Same thing you did. Nothing new. Yeah, it's a tough one, all right. Sheriff? Oh, thanks. Klan, let me ask you something. We've been going on the basis that he was killed for the money. Robbery. Could there have been any other reason? Well, he was robbed. Yeah, I know. Did he have a running with anybody? No, no, he was just a newcomer. Like I told you, him and his wife had only been here a couple of months. Just happy little lovebirds trying to get a start in life. I was robbery, pure and simple. Tell me more about this boy, Sam. Would he have any reason? Not likely. He was Roy's best friend. I know, but he's also pretty cozy with Roy's wife now that he's dead. Well, I suppose you could make something out of that if you wanted to. But it's a natural thing to happen. I'll admit it crossed my mind at one time. But don't forget, he was in bed when it happened. How can you be sure? When I went over to give Martha and Nell the bad news, he came out of his room across the hall. Said he heard the commotion. He'd been in bed all right. Did she also tell you that he stopped by earlier to tell her that Roy was still at the saloon? She did. And that was proof enough to eliminate him when it did cross my mind. Ah, well... It's been a long day, Klan. I think I'll go back to the hotel and get some sleep. Palin, I'm going to stay here for one more drink and I'll be doing the same. I'll see you in the morning. Good night. Good night. What happened? Somebody took a shot at me. They ran down that alleyway. A couple of you men looked down there to see if you could find anybody. You hurt bad? No, I don't think so. Can you walk up to your room? Yeah, sure. Somebody go get the doctor. Tell him to meet us at the hotel. I'll get him, sir. Let me give you a hand, Palin. Mr. That'll do it. Thanks, doctor. You keep your arm not slinging for a few days. You'll be all right. Good. Yeah, Klan, did your men find anybody? No, not a soul. That's too bad. Well, good night, gentlemen. Night, doctor. You come by the office tomorrow, Mr. Paladin. I'd like to take another look at your arm. I'll do that, doctor. Thank you. Well, Klan, whoever shot me, he could very well be the same man we're looking for. Yeah, I can't figure out what they'd have against you. Well, maybe I've asked a few too many questions the last couple of days. But you don't have any ideas? Nope. Well, I'll let you get some rest. Maybe we'll come up with something in the morning. I'll give it a lot of thought. Good night. Good night, Klan. Who is it? It's me, Martha Nell. May I come in? Sure. Here, let me turn up the light. No. Leave it low. Someone may see us. It's kind of late for you to be out alone, isn't it? Well, I heard what happened. I wanted to see if you were all right. I was very thoughtful. That isn't the only reason you came, is it? What do you mean? You want to tell me about Sam, don't you? Yes, I guess I should. You've been covering for him. He's the one that killed your husband. How did you know? Why haven't you told the sheriff, Martha Nell? I've been too afraid, I guess. Wait a minute. Did someone follow you here? Not that I know of. Why? There's somebody outside my door. Sam. Get over behind that chest. Don't open the door, Mr. Pallett. Huh? Keep quiet. Don't open the door. You give me that gun. Don't move or I'll shoot. Come in. Sheriff! Watch it, Clem. Get down! You all right, Clem? What's going on in here? Well, Martha Nell pulled a gun on me. Martha Nell? I'm not a very good shot. If you were, you would have killed me tonight in the alley. That was you, wasn't it? Yes. Martha Nell? Yes, it was me, Sheriff. I killed Roy, too. What? Yes, I killed Roy. Then I took his money to make it look like he was robbed. But why? Roy would never let me leave him. It was the only way I could have Sam. Does Sam know? When he came back that night and went to his room, I slipped out and waited until Roy left the saloon. Everything worked out just as I hoped it would until you came into town. Started stirring things up again. I wish you hadn't done that. We'll get the doctor. It's too late, Clem. He's dead. Oh, no. A pity. Yeah. I can't believe a pretty little thing like that had chewed her own husband. Why would she do it? Like she said, she was in love with Sam. Uh, just doesn't make sense. Love can do strange things, Clem, especially to a young girl like her. How much pallor did? Ah, thank you, driver. Here's to my pleasure. Good day. Oh, Mr. Paladin. Well, hello, hey, boy. Hey, boy, I wonder where you come back. Here, I take your suitcase. Thank you. Oh, why you got sling on your arm? Oh, just a little accident, nothing serious. Oh, that's good. You come home just in time. Oh, in time for what? To miss our big railroad convention. Everybody left last night. Hey, boy, that's the best news I've had all week. Yes, I thought you'd be happy to know. How's Miss Wong holding up? Oh, not so good. She not come to work today. All tired out. But she'll be back tomorrow. I warned her not to work too hard. Hey, boy, take my suitcase up to the room, will you please? I'm going to stop in the bar and get a drink. My throat's a little dusty. Yes, sir. Oh, Mr. Paladin. They are a very pretty young lady in there.  Maybe you have a drink with her. How pretty. Oh, very pretty and very young. You'll see her. Well, hey, boy, this may come as a surprise to you. But today I'm not interested in the very pretty and the very young.  Pictures taken with Sylvania blue dots will help make this Thanksgiving a day to remember forever.
