United Nations Sustainable Development Goal No. 3 speaks to ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all, regardless of age, race, location and income. This underlies the basis of the World Bank's continued efforts to provide assistance to countries moving ahead with UHC implementation. The Caribbean flagship regional knowledge exchange hosted in St. Lucia in October was one such World Bank venture. This was achieved with support from the Korea World Bank Partnership Facility. There's a huge amount of opportunities to learn both within the countries and across the countries as well as from Korea. Korea is not only a knowledge champion but it's an OECD country with very good development outcomes and we wanted to sort of accelerate your opportunities in growth and development. The three-day event also facilitated discussions on hospital sector modernization. This included a tour of St. Lucia's premier facility, the Owen King European Union Hospital located within the Millennium Heights Medical Complex. The OKEUH was commissioned in 2020 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The management of the hospital at the time was celebrated for its ability to transfer services between hospitals without any major glitches or loss of life. We are one of the only islands that has moved a hospital the way that we did, Victoria Hospital into OKEU Hospital. So just based on that experience alone and remember we spent many years planning that move, many years with consultants who were brought in to assist us with the logistics. So in terms of that knowledge, particularly in terms of transitioning a hospital to a new state of the art facility where we were not using that level of technical equipment, etc. Performance-based financing is a new financing mechanism being introduced by the World Bank. The project will be piloted in St. Lucia at a number of health facilities around the island. Lessons learned through the implementation of the project will form the structure and implementation of universal health coverage in St. Lucia. The performance-based financing is a very important mechanism that propels changes in provider behavior and also quality of care. We are very proud to be engaged on that. This is running under the Heart System Strengthening Project and the PPF is focusing on two diseases namely hypertension and diabetes mellitus which are very important because it's causing a huge burden of disease in your country and actually in the region. The Caribbean flagship regional knowledge exchange took its participants on a tour of the Ancillary Wellness Center as one of the health facilities under the PPF program. Acting public health nursing supervisor Yasmin Gabriel says she is appreciative of the program and its focus. That particular project seeks to improve what we currently do in terms of the management of persons with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. We do a number of things but there are always areas for improvement so when we consider the objective of the PPF this is going to help improve what we already do so we are hoping that we can improve our services we offer to the client that may be that may extend to blood work, that may extend to EKGs, that may extend to self-management programs, that may extend to exercise programs. Fifteen wellness centers located around the island will participate in the pilot project. The World Bank continues to provide major assistance towards health sector development in the region as the Caribbean thrusts towards universal health coverage.

The glass-liquid transition, or glass transition, is the gradual and reversible transition in amorphous materials or in amorphous regions within semi-crystalline materials from a hard and relatively brittle glassy state into a viscous or rubbery state as the temperature is increased.One anamorphous solid that exhibits a glass transition is called a glass. The reverse transition, achieved by supercooling a viscous liquid into the glass state, is called vitrification. The glass transition temperature Tg of a material characterizes the range of temperatures over which this glass transition occurs. It is always lower than the melting temperature, thusium, of the crystalline state of the material, if one exists. Liquid plastics like polystyrene and poly-methyl methacrylate are used well below their glass transition temperatures, i.e., when they are in their glassy state. Their Tg values are well above room temperature, both at around 100 degrees C-212 degrees F. Rubber elastomers like poly-e-suprime and poly-e-so butylene are used above their Tg. That is, in the rubbery state, where they are soft and flexible. Despite the change in the physical properties of a material through its glass transition, the transition is not considered a phase transition, rather it is a phenomenon extending over a range of temperature and defined by one of several conventions. Three for such conventions include a constant cooling rate 20 kV per minute, 36 degrees F-minutes 1 and a viscosity threshold of 1012 POS, among others. Upon cooling or heating through this glass transition range, the material also exhibits a smooth step in the thermal expansion coefficient and in the specific heat, with the location of these effects again being dependent on the history of the material.5 The question of whether some phase transition underlies the glass transition is a matter of continuing research.3 for a fix.


for Chesterfield. Chesterfield, first cigarette in America to give you premium quality and both regular and king size, brings you dragnet. Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.  You're assigned a juvenile division. You get a call from a high school principal. A young boy has caused an ear riot in his classroom. Your job? Investigate. Here's what the nation's press has had to say about king size Chesterfield. U.S. Tobacco Journal says Boston dealers and jobbers reported this new companion of the regular size is sweeping the market in sales, and stocks cannot be replaced fast enough. The Wall Street Journal said a wholesaler says the problem isn't selling them. It's getting enough to meet the demand. Dealers all over the country tell us no product they ever handled has grown so fast in so short a time as king size Chesterfields. King size cigarettes give you quantity, but only Chesterfield king size gives you quantity plus quality, premium quality. Chesterfield king size contains tobaccos of better quality and higher price than any other king size cigarette. Of course it's the same fine tobacco as in regular Chesterfield. In fact, the only difference between Chesterfield king size and Chesterfield regular is that the king size is larger, contains more of these same tobaccos. Enough to give you a 21% longer smoke, yet costs very little more. So remember, Chesterfield is the first to give you premium quality in both regular and king size. Buy them either way you like them. Chesterfield gives you the best possible smoke. Much milder Chesterfield. Dragnet, the documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Wednesday, October 3rd. It was warm in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of juvenile division. My partner's Frank Smith. The boss is Captain Stein. My name's Friday. It was 1.47 p.m. when we got to Adams High School. Chemistry class. Yes, sir. It's my partner Frank Smith. My name's Friday. I'm John Lane. This is my class. What little there is left of it. Have you seen Mr. Barlow? Yes, sir. We talked to him when we came in. I think he's in the clinic now. He said you could give us his stories, all right? It was the Lambert boy. He came into class about five minutes late. I don't know. I was just starting the lecture on analysis. I told Douglas to take his seat. He said something I couldn't hear, but he went back to his place and I went on with the lecture. I guess it was about 10 minutes later that the commotion started. The first thing I knew about it, Larry McClain started to yell at Lambert. He said something about keeping his mouth closed. Then Lambert said something about McClain minding his own business. I started off the platform to quiet things down. By the time I got to Douglas, he'd hit McClain. After that, it's all a little confused. Flying apparatus, chemicals being thrown all over the place, glass breaking. The whole class seemed to explode. Were the other members of the class fighting or was it just the two boys? It seemed like the whole class was fighting. The time it seemed like the whole school was in the room, all throwing things. Finally, I got the Lambert boy aside and then the fight seemed to stop. In the meantime, he'd thrown a bottle of sulfuric acid at McClain, burned his face and his chest. The ambulance took him to Georgia Street receiving hospital and nurse here gave him first aid. Well, do you have any idea what started the argument here? No, I'm not sure. As I got it later, it seems that Douglas made some remark about a young girl working next to him. I didn't hear it, but I gathered that it was a pretty filthy statement. McClain heard it, and that's when he told Douglas to keep his mouth closed. Lambert is known as the sort of troublemaker then, is he? Yes, and it's so hard to understand. Sir? Well, up until just lately, I'd say the last two months or so, he was a model student. He had a straight A average. I wonder if we could see the boy. I guess so. Isn't anything much I can do here. Terrible. It'd be a couple of weeks before I can hold a class in here again. It's terrible. Yes, sir. There are clinics down here. Have you any idea what might have caused this change in the Lambert boy? Well, I have my own suspicions, but he's only 15. It's hard to believe. What's that for? When he came into class today, I think he was drunk. Oh, why do you say that? I noticed that when he came into the room, he wasn't very steady on his feet. It'd have to be something like that to make him do this. Then, too, when I grabbed him when they were fighting, I thought I smelled liquor on it. Oh, we go in here. All right. Here's the boy. Douglas? Yes, sir. These men would like to talk to you. Yes, sir. They're from the police. Mr. Friday, and this is Mr. Smith. Hello. There you go. Sit down, son. Yes, sir. How's Larry? I don't know. They took him to the hospital. If you don't mind, Mr. Friday, I'll check with the nurse and see how badly Larry was hurt. Yes, sir. Go ahead. Now, son, do you want to tell us what this is all about? Because not much to tell. Larry and me got in a fight. Well, what started the fight, son? I don't know. He just wanted to cause trouble. Him and me never have gotten along. Always had trouble. You've been drinking, Doug? Why do you ask that? Because I want to know. Have you been drinking? How about it, boy? No. Where would I get something to drink? Well, now, something's a little wrong here, son. According to what Mr. Lane tells us. Looks like you might have been drunk when the fight started. He tells us that you said something to a young girl in the class. That's what started the whole thing. You know he's lying? Is he? Sure. He's on Larry's side. The two of them are real thick. That's not what he told us, Doug. From what he said, he's pretty fond of you. Said he couldn't figure out what happened to you lately. Well, he's okay, but why does he say I was loaded?  Yeah, especially if you weren't. I'll tell you what, Doug. Let's get a traffic investigation car over here and take a toxometer test, son, just to be sure. Why? What'll that prove? That'll straighten it out once and for all, whether you're drunk or not. How about it, boy?  Doug? No, you don't have to do that. I had a couple of drinks. Nothing serious, though. Just a couple of drinks. Nothing wrong with that, is there? Where'd you get the liquor, son? I don't remember. No, this won't work, boy. We'll find out. You know that. Well, I don't see what difference it's going to make where I got it. I've been drinking a couple of years. I know how to handle it. I know what I'm doing. Mr. Friday? Yes, sir. See you in a minute. Well, sure. What's going on? Something wrong with Larry? I don't know, son. I thought he was okay when they took him to the hospital. The nurse said she took care of it. They said he was going to be okay. All right, boy. Let's go. Where are you taking me? We want to talk to you downtown. Something has gone wrong, hasn't it? Something's wrong with Larry. He's dead. No, son. Larry's all right. He's burned, but he's going to be all right. You're lying. I know you want to take me to jail. Well, that's not true, son. We just want to find out where you got the liquor. Yeah. Well, I haven't done anything. A couple of drinks, that's all. What's the harm in that? Come on, son. You've got a lot to explain. Okay, take me in. Put me in jail.  Yeah, you've already proved that. 2.26 p.m. Frank and I talked to Charles Barlow, the vice principal of the school. He told us the same story that we'd gotten from John Lane. He said that until a few months before, Douglas Lambert had been a model student. He was above average in his classwork and took part in all school activities. Suddenly, and without apparent reason, he had become the number one troublemaker in his class. His attendance record became one of the worst, and his attitude toward his teachers was arrogant and discourteous. The principal told us the same attitude was being displayed by other students in the school. We notified Mrs. Lambert that we were taking him to Georgia Street Juvenile for questioning. We filled in Captain Stein on the developments, and then Frank and I questioned the Lambert boy. He was sullen and uncooperative. I don't know what you want with me. A little fight, that's all I was. Why are you guys trying to make something big out of me? You've already done that, Doug. Maybe you don't know what you've really done. Maybe we ought to fill you in on a few things. That might not be such a bad idea. Tell me how I'm a criminal. Tell me how I was a bad boy. Go ahead, tell me. Don't get smart, son. What do you want me to do? Sit here and listen to you guys yak at me?  You got one thing on me. I had a couple of drinks, that's all. A couple of drinks. No harm in that. I don't feel so good. Why don't you guys leave me alone? I got a headache. Larry McLean's got more in a headache. Well, the kid shouldn't have started anything he couldn't finish.  He was. Now he's hurting, he's trying to blame me. It won't work. How can you know it? That's enough of that. I'm a minor. You can't touch me. That's a trouble with you, kid. You think because you're under 18, the laws don't mean you. You can't touch me and you know it. Don't worry, Doug. Nobody's going to touch you, but let me tell you a couple of things.  You don't have to tell me. Well, I'm going to tell you.  Your minds and hands filthy, bragging about what big men you are. You do what you want. You don't care about what it means to the people around you. How you hurt them doesn't matter. Everything's fine until you do something wrong and we nail you.  You steal a car for a joy ride. An officer starts after you. You don't care who gets in front of the car as long as you get away. You don't let anybody stand in your way. Men, women, kids, they're all the same to you. Run them down.  After all, you're just a kid. The laws weren't meant for you. You're different. Well, there's another kid lying in a hospital right now. He's got real trouble. He got in your way. He didn't feel that you had any special rights. Be a big man, Doug. You go tell him that you knew what you were doing when you threw that acid at him.  Tell him that you know how to handle liquor.   I hope you're real proud of yourself. I hope you feel good. You've burned it right into your brain. There isn't any place you can go to get away from it. All right, boy, let's go. Wait a minute, Mr. Friday. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I acted like that. All right, you want to try to make things right with Larry? You want to help us out on this thing? Yeah, I guess so. Where do I start? Where'd you get the liquor? A place near school. Kids call it Sam's Club. What's the address? I don't know. I'll show you the place. You say it's a club? Sort of. You have to know the ropes before you can get in the place. What do you mean, the ropes? Well, they only let kids in.  That way, they know you're okay. Who is this Sam? I don't know his last name. The kids just call him Sam. He run this place all by himself? No, there's his wife, Inez. She's usually around. Just these two around the place, huh? Yeah, that's all I know about. It always seemed to me that Inez was really the brain. She was always telling Sam what to do. How'd you find out about this place, Doug? One of the kids at school told me about it. He took me there one night. Then after he introduced me to Sam and Inez, I started to go there by myself. What's it like inside? They have a bar or anything like that?  All chrome and leopard skin. Real nice. There's a few tables around and a record player. Can they sell anything else in this place besides liquor? I don't think I know what you mean.  Yeah, I guess I do. Well, how about it? Well, yeah, you can buy tea if you want it. This $5 routine, what happens to it? Well, drinks are six bits a piece.  If you want to give them the five as you come in, you can have as much as you want. Otherwise, you pay for each thing as you get it.  Well, almost all the kids there do. How about you?  Well, you still haven't answered the question. Yeah, I've smoked it a couple of times. Can you give us the names of the other youngsters who go to this place? Well, wait a minute. I'll help all I can, but I'm not going to be a squealer. I don't think it's squealing, Doug. Yeah, well, you don't have to give the names. Why not look at it this way, boy? You got trouble because of this Sam and I inez. Now, the same thing could happen to one of the other kids who go to this place. You want that to happen? No. Well, the best way to see that it doesn't tell us all you know about the place. Isn't that right? I guess so. I'll give you the names. Do they allow girls in this place, too? Yeah, as long as you know the $5 bill gimmick anybody can get in. They allow adults? No, if they figure you're over 18, they won't let you in. Especially at the Saturday night parties. What kind of those? Every Saturday night, Sam and I inez throw a party. For five bucks, you get all you want to drink and smoke. Sam told me once it's a good business, it makes for a better customer relationship. You ever see any other narcotics on the premises? I've never actually seen any myself. I've heard that if Sam or Inez know you real well, you can get a pop of heroin. But like I said, I've never seen him myself. Most of the kids that I know, the ones from school, just go there for drinks. Anything else you think we ought to know? No, nothing that I can think of. How about these two? Either of them drive a car? Yeah, Sam has a little Nash rambler, dark green. Once in a while, when we stay over at lunchtime or when we're late getting home, he drives us home or back to school. All right, Doug.  If we need your help in getting Sam and Inez, we can count on it, huh? Yeah, I'll help all I can. OK, son, let's go. Let's say Sergeant. Yeah? I'm sure sorry about the way I acted. Really made a fool of myself. I hope you'll forgive me. That's all right. But you'd think there'd be an easier way, wouldn't you? What's that, son? To grow up. We checked the names Sam and Inez through R&I and came up with the Sam and Inez Bailey. Both of them had long records for contributing to the delinquency of minors. Both had served time in the county jail. Douglas Lambert was shown mug shots of the couple and identified them as the owners and operators of Sam's Club. We checked with Captain Stein about picking them up and it was agreed that the best way would be to catch them in the act of selling liquor and narcotics to juveniles. We talked to the Lambert boy and he told us that it was the custom of the Bailey to hold a party every Saturday night. He told us that most of the youngsters who frequented the place would be there at that time. He put in a call to the house, but there was no answer. 6.15 p.m. Frank and I drove out to the place. It was a small cottage on the back of the lot. The landlord occupied the house in front. We rang the bell to the manager's house. Yeah? Mr. Halsey? Yeah? Police officer, sir, my name's Friday. This is my partner, Frank Smith. How do you do? I'm Mr. Halsey. Want to come in? Well, it might be better, sir. We'd like to talk to you about the Bailey's.  Why do you say that, sir? Well, I just do that, sir. They got a lease on the house. And if I could figure a way to get them out, I sure would. They're always causing trouble. All those kids. Yes, sir. Do you have any idea where they are now? Why, are you going to arrest them? I hope so. Maybe I can break the lease that way. You know where they might be now, sir? No, I don't know. I shoved off this afternoon. They didn't say where they was going. They just left. I wonder if you could let us see their house, sir. Why? Well, we'd like to look it over. Sorry. Well, I don't know. What do you want for? We think they're selling liquor to miners. Yes, they do a thing like that. The noise they made in the neighbors on both sides have been screaming. Can you let us into their house? You just bet I can. Wait, I'll get the key. Here's some place. But, uh, put in one of those little key rings. You know the kind with the rabbit's foot? Yes, sir. Sorry to keep you officers waiting. I know I'm always away. If you want something, you can always lay your hand right on it. And then when you're looking for it, oh, here it is. See that rabbit foot? Yes, sir. Well, you can go out the back door this way. All right, sir. Hello. What are you looking for? What do you think you'll find back there? We're not sure, sir. Frank. And you want to stay out here and let us know if they come back? Yeah. I'll wait in front of the house. Now, it's funny about them. What's that, sir? Well, when they first moved in, they said they wanted the locks on the door change. I told them it'd be okay, but they'd have to give me a key to the place. They had quite a ruckus about it, but I stood in my ground. They wasn't going to buffalo me, no, sir. Here, I'll get the lock. All right. Okay. Hey, it smells like they haven't had a window open in a year, Sergeant. Yes, sir. Look what they've done to this room. They built a barn, everything. You sure were right about them. I think I can break the lease on this. I'm pretty sure. It says in the contract that they can do any building without my permission. I certainly didn't give them any OK on this. Yes, sir. This is the dining room? Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Just pull those doors back. What's that smell, Sergeant? I'm not sure about it. I think it might be narcotics. Drugs. I knew it. I knew it all along. Oh, just wait till you get back. I'm really going to tell them. I really am. Rather you didn't do that, sir. What? Rather you didn't let them know that we were in here, that you know anything about this. Well, why?  You're not going to let them get away with it. No, sir, but we understand they've got a party planned here tomorrow night. If we wait until then, we can make a charge stick. Oh, you mean they're going to have a drunken ball? The kids here smoking marijuana, taking heroin and stuff like that? Well, we're not going to let them go that far, sir. We're going to need your cooperation here, Mr. Halsey. Well, what do you want me to do? Well, sir, we want to install listening equipment in here. We'd like to use your house. You mean you're going to bug the place? Well, yes, sir. We'd like to put in microphones. Well, will it hurt the profit? I mean, would you have to put nails in the walls? You know, stuff like that? No, sir, I don't think so. Oh. Well, then you can do it. Yes, sir. I want to help, Sergeant. That's the trouble with people nowadays. You know, they don't want to help. You just go right ahead and put your microphones in just as long as you don't have to nail anything in the walls. All right, sir. If we could go back to your house, I'd like to use the phone if it's all right. You bet. Closing that so they won't know anybody's been here, huh? Yes, sir. Uh-huh. Don't guess if I leave any fingerprints on the door, it'll hurt. No, sir, I don't think it will. No. Can't be too careful, though, yeah. But then I guess you know all about things like that. Yes, sir.  Yeah, sure thing. Do fellas all work in teams like this? Yes, sir, most of the time. Well, I haven't knew that before. Do you have any idea at all where the Baileys might have gone? They give you any indication of all, sir? No. Oh, I saw them leave this afternoon. Just got in the car and left. Would you take any luggage with them? Suitcases, would you know? Not that I could see. No. Uh-huh. Ah, you find anything? Yeah, the bars in the living room.  Yeah, looks that way. Tell them about the dope in the dining room, how you open the door and smell the fumes. Sir, I want it. Can't smell like that. Fine in it? No, I didn't go over the place too good, and I thought if we were going to wear the place, we'd better get on it. Yeah. If we could just use your phone, sir? Oh, yeah, you bet. Come on in. Right there, on the table in the hall. Oh, thank you, sir. There's a total call, is it? No, sir. Well, of course, nothing making a difference. Just thought I'd ask. Yes, sir. You think you're just getting one of those detective magazines? Well, I don't know, sir. We've got nothing to do with that. Well, you know, of course, I didn't figure that you did, but if it does, I hope they spell my name right. It's S-E-Y. Uh-uh. Yeah. Some people forget the E, you see. Uh-uh. Spell it with just the Y. Two, eight, three, eight, please. As Dale is Joe Frydy, I want to install a dictograph at 825 north of Cern. Yeah, 825 north. Mm-hmm. Right away. Yeah, well, you know better than I do. When you see the place, you can figure it. Yeah, the house in the front of the lot. What? Oh, maybe 30, 35 yards? Yeah, okay. Right away. Yeah, good. We'll be in the house in front. Yeah, all right, we'll see you then. All set? Yeah, as Dale's coming right out. Good. Say, Sergeant? Yes, sir? I just happened to think of something. Might not mean anything. What's that, sir? The other day, I think it was Monday. Yes, yes, I'm sure it was Monday, because I just come back on the loan. You know, I always pick up my stuff on Monday. Yes, sir. Well, when I came back, I met Mr. Bailey. He was putting around with the car. I asked him if he was going to take a trip. He said no, but he said he might get out of town for a little bit. I was going to find you anything about the roads. What roads, Mr. Halsey? Down to Mexico. You are listening to Dragnet, the authentic story of your police force in action. And now, a report every smoker should hear. Nose, throat, and accessory organs, not adversely affected by smoking Chesterfields. First such report ever published about any cigarette. And it applies only to Chesterfield. A responsible consulting organization has reported the results of a continuing study by a competent medical specialist and his staff on the effects of smoking Chesterfield cigarettes. A group of people from various walks of life was organized to smoke only Chesterfields. For six months, this group of men and women smoked their normal amount of Chesterfields, 10 to 40 a day. 45% of the group have smoked Chesterfields continually from one to 30 years for an average of 10 years each. At the beginning and at the end of the six months period, each smoker was given a thorough examination, including x-ray pictures by the medical specialist and his assistants. The examination covered the sinuses, as well as the nose, ears, and throat. The medical specialist, after a thorough examination of every member of the group, stated, It is my opinion that the ears, nose, throat, and accessory organs of all participating subjects examined by me were not adversely affected in the six months period by smoking the cigarettes provided. Remember this Chesterfield report. It's the first such report ever published about any cigarette. Nose, throat, and accessory organs not adversely affected by smoking Chesterfields. By Chesterfield, either way you like them, regular or king size. Chesterfield gives you the best possible smoke. Much milder Chesterfield. The men from the crime lab arrived to install the listening equipment. The stakeout was placed on the house, but the Baileys failed to return that night. At 8.46 a.m. Saturday morning, the men covering the house called to say that the Baileys had just driven in. Frank and I got in touch with Douglas Lambert and his parents. With their permission, we laid out the plan for that night. It was agreed that the boy would arrive at the house at about 8.30 p.m. When the other youngsters had been served drinks, he would give us a signal by starting into cough. When we came into the house, he would try to secure as many of the drinks as possible for evidence. We told him that there would be officers all around the house and that at no time was he to place himself in jeopardy with Sam, Ainez, or any of the other youngsters. 7.30 p.m. Frank and I took up our positions in the back bedroom of the owner's house, turned on the dictograph, and waited. The Baileys were discussing the party. Sam was talking about how he watered the whiskey. At 8.27 p.m., four youngsters arrived. They rang the doorbell, and when Sam opened the door, they displayed the required bill. He nodded and ushered them into the living room. They did a good job, and they didn't... Yeah, they did. Really hear it. Lambert, boy, should be here pretty quick. Doesn't sound like they're starting anything in there yet, does it? No. How long do you figure we wait before we go in? As soon as he starts to cough. You check with the other men? Yeah, Turner and Brown are covering the back of the place. Lindsay and Carter and a couple of police women are parked down the street. You can see the car down there. Yeah. Wait a minute, huh? Looks like the Lambert kid now coming up the walk. Yeah, it is. I hope everything goes all right. All right, let's turn it up a little more, huh? Is that better? Yeah. I'll get it, honey. Change that record, will you? I heard it four times. Yeah. Oh, hi, Doug. Come on in. Thanks, huh? Wasn't sure you'd be here tonight. It doesn't make you figure that. You know, I wouldn't mess with one of these. I just figured somebody got a little trouble with everything. No, it's all right now. Yeah, well, take it easy tonight, huh? Sure, son. Good luck, honey. Doug Lambert. Hi, Doug. You having trouble with that McLean kid? No, I was telling Sam. The cops talked to me for a while. They didn't have anything on me, so they had to let me go. You didn't tell them anything about this place, did you? Of course not. You know, I wouldn't do that. He wouldn't die now. I told you, Doug's all right. We can trust him. Oh, thanks, boy. When the cops get wise to this place, I might really get a problem.  Don't worry about it. Come on, let's get on with the social board. What do you have, Doug? If you wish, yeah, I guess. Good deal. And you want a stick? Got some fresh stuff, then real good. Yeah, sure. That's my boy. You know who's a good guy like you?  Some of the other guys come in here. I guess I don't have this right about him. They're jerks, but... Well, I think I can trust you. Oh, excuse me. You've got to fix your other kids up. Don't care where they'll be. Well, kid, is that when you throw? I don't know. It just started to fall. Come on, Mike. Let's hit it. Who are you guys? Police officers. You're under arrest. What for? What are you trying to pull? Hold it, everybody. Right where you are. Did you hear it all, Sergeant? Yeah, Doug, we did. Hear what? You went on this, Doug? I told you not to trust any of them. I told you, but you wouldn't listen. You want to kill the form of graph, Frank? I got to get the marijuana, Doug. Out of that drawer. There and back of the bar. Yeah. There's nothing there. Right here, Doug? It was way in the back.  What about these, Sam? I don't know what you're talking about. I never saw those before. All right, mister, let's go. I'll get Turner and Brown. They can take care of the kid, right? You and your ideas. I told you we shouldn't have come back. I told you. Oh, knock it off.  I told you last night we should have kept driving, but I don't know. You figure we got a sweet racket here. You don't want to change it. It's good, you said. Yeah? How does it look now? Look, I'm telling you, take it easy. All right, let's go, huh? So it is, Sergeant. Try to make a living for a woman. Make things nice. The first time something goes wrong, she starts to squawk. Never failed. You're riding high. Everything's fine. Him and his living. Always trying to build something up. Always trying to figure out a way to beat the game. One big deal. One big thing to set him up for good. Yeah, well, I think he made it this time. Let's go. The story you just heard was true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On January 14th, trial was held in Department 89, Superior Court of the State of California, in and for the County of Los Angeles. In a moment, the results of that trial. Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. Thank you. Friends, as you know on Dragonet, we've always tried to emphasize the importance of facts.

or secondary treatment. At me, I still use secondary treatment. I don't know if I should even abandon that, I don't know. But my point is, in Archeotonatology, secondary is not used. In Archeotonatology, yes, and that's why... No, it's just a point. No, I emphasize, but archaeologists, they still use it so much, that's the problem. So, in Archeotonatology, yes, that's the point, but you see secondary better, in Greece, in Mycenaean Greek Archeology, all these assemblies are published basically as secondary barriers. Yeah. So, this is not as mine. It's a work of education. Yeah. But, a more important question to you. Excavation is also a toponomic process. Exactly. So, how much do you know about the excavation? Because some of the removal versus retention numbers just surprised me. And I was thinking that a lot of the non-recorded hand bones, for example, or foot bones, might be that they are just not collected and documented. Exactly. And that might show us better. So, what are your thoughts? I'll tell you exactly how I approach that. That's the main difficulty, how much excavation bias we have when we try to apply these bone frequencies. And unfortunately, this was not the site that I was present during the excavation. But it was excavated in the 90s fairly well. Not fantastic, but fairly well. So, we have a very detailed record. And I was able to use photos, as we hear as well, photos, excavation notebooks, plus the final reports, drawings, all of that. And I had an idea of the level of the quality of recovery that they had. However, recovery was pretty okay. And they were very careful because maybe not because they were so interested in the bones, but because they were interested in machine-made beads and stuff like that. They really sifted everything and so they went carefully. And I could see that I had small stuff, so when did they have? But most importantly, and this is, in the end, what I use also as the main criteria is, but that makes it more difficult to comparison with other sites. For this intra-site comparison, the same methods were applied in all the tombs. So, these differences that I observed, at least they were consistent. So, however, they were excavating, they were excavating the same all of these tombs. So, when, in some cases, I had another case, I don't have them, they didn't change the methodology of their excavation. So, that was reassuring afterwards. Thank you. The first question regarding what expressions are being used and how we are recording and that could be something that we discussed during the discussions a lot, because it's an interesting something that everyone can think about and I know that people have a lot of different opinions on. Yeah, like you brought up as well that maybe we need several... Completely new subjects. Yeah, exactly. So, that's an interesting thing to keep with us. I think we're going to move on to the next presentation. And after that one, we have a discussion. So, please welcome Rida Kerapeukana and Lee Nilsson-Stutz, representing the Lost Photos. Archeophonatology applied to photograph rotation from the 1960s and reveals new data about mesolithic burials. Thank you very much. Good afternoon, everyone. We are going to present new data on mesolithic burials based on the archaeological analysis of recently discovered photographs from excavations in the 1960s and 1962. The archaeological material we are working with is from late mesolithic sites in Portugal. These are open-air shell middens and are clustered in these two river valleys, the Tagus and the Saddo valleys. What's remarkable is that most of these sites have burial grounds with several human burials. This is interesting and we're highlighting this because the development of cemeteries in open-air sites contrasts with earlier practices in the region. As you can see from this graph, with the number of mesolithic individuals in archaeological sites in Iberia, funerary burial was practiced in Iberia, in the Mesolithic, but it was not common. It was not a common treatment of the dead, except in these two river valleys. Most of this material was excavated in the 1950s and the 1960s. We are focusing on one region, the Saddo valley. From the 11 shell middens known, six of them have human burials with a minimum number of individuals of 113. As I mentioned, these are all excavations and the original documentation consists of written notes and letters as well as site plans, not for all sites but for some sites. We also have photographs and drawings in variable detail, not for all sites. And also we have the human remains. Some of this material was preserved in blocks of paraffin, which is great for burial analysis. However, most material is currently disarticulated and stored in containers. The photos on this slide were recently discovered and bring new information for the material excavated in two sites, Arapuco and Posas Sombento. This documentation is also very interesting because burial practices in these two sites were largely contemporary with radiocarbon dates on human bone ranging from 8,150 to 7,900 years ago. For this session, we want to present some selected cases that we have analyzed but also focus on two central questions. One is what is the potential for architinotology on old collections? And second question, what does architinotology bring that cannot be achieved with common sense archaeology? Architinotology is a holistic approach for the analysis of human bones in archaeological context and it was developed as an excavation method. But we argue that this is a robust approach for the analysis of archive documentation such as photographs from old excavations. Very briefly, architinotology is based on the phonomic theory and basic knowledge of processes of human composition as these processes can produce marked movements on the bones within the burial feature. This type of analysis allows us to reconstruct the Chénopératois from the human remains recovered in the archaeological context to the original funerary practice. In our analysis of the newly discovered photographs, we identified a number of common features which indicate a set of common practices. What do these burials have in common? First, their primary nature. These are primary deposits as indicated by the maintenance of labial articulations such as those on the feet here in these photographs. These are diagnostic criteria that are often highly degraded and often not very clearly visible in the documentation. However, the maintenance of the general anatomy or the anatomical integrity of the body is a strong argument supporting this observation of the primary nature of the burials. And it's consistently observed throughout the documentation. The space of the composition was filled with sediment as indicated by the maintenance of bones in original unbalanced position such as the limited collapse of the bones of the pelvic girdle or the maintenance of the patella on the distal ends of the femur and here just bringing some examples and some examples of key observations. Regarding and summarizing a bit the initial position of the body and what's common in these burials, we observe that at Arapoku, one of the sites, most individuals were placed on the back while at Sombiantu, the cadavers were typically placed on the right or on the left side. In both sites, the upper limbs were often nested on the upper body in various positions but always in flexion at the level of the elbow joints. The lower limbs were consistently flexed as well or hyper flexed at the level of the hip and knee joints rotated towards the trunk, rotated towards the right or the left with the feet always rotated towards the buttocks. The alignment of the bones also another common feature suggests that the grave pits were just large enough to contain the body as visible by various role effects. In some cases, we observe that the floor of the grave was uneven and sloping and here while the cadavers slowly slipped to the left, which can be visible by the right shoulder girdle which stayed behind and the right scapula became exposed between the humerus and the thoraxi cage here accentuating the lateral pressure on the left side of this feature as indicated by the strong alignment of the humerus and the rib cage. Thank you. And so when we establish kind of a pattern of a normative expected burial that allows us to kind of think through the non-negotiables of Monsher ritual but among the burials in this collection we also find one particular case where the body position is unusual both for the cultural context here and I think in our technological descriptions in general so it valid some publication and analysis. I won't go into all of the details here but just briefly note that the photo shows the body that was placed on the back with the limbs strongly flexed in front of the body bringing them to light on top strategically speaking of the torso. The head was flexed and rotated flex forward and rotated to the right at the time of the deposition. The thoracic cage shows no sign of rotation or even transfer of weight to one side which indicates that the body was placed on the back. All limbs are strongly flexed in front of the body and the bones of the left hand can be observed in the area of the torso. The resolution of the photo and here we get to the challenges of working with other people's excavations and I think we can talk more about that later. It doesn't allow for detailed observations here. The bones of the feet can be observed as being loosely articulated. There's no doubt that this bear is a primary deposition. The articulation of the skeleton as a whole but in particular the feet and the left hand is a clear indicator for primary deposition. The lack of movement outside of the initial volume of the kebab further indicates the composition and fill space and finally the maintenance and position of the bones in extreme fashion must have required additional elements of support. Immediate filling in combination with a restricted feature is not enough in our opinion to explain the maintenance of the position in particular of the lower limbs here. We suggest that this body was wrapped or bound at the time of burial. A case like this can in our addition shed light or additional light on other burials in the context including, sorry, in the context, in the cultural context but also more generally, also at the site obviously, more generally for these mesolithic burials in Portugal. Where more bodies than we have thought perhaps bound up, how are they bound up and with the particular precision of the body have been discernible through the wrapping or with the covering have masked the human body, dramatically changing the appearance of a living versus a dead body at the time of burial, thus playing a crucial part in how death was staged and perceived by the survivors. Here we can see an example of the projection upward and rotation of the shoulder and here we can see the articulation of the hands and feet. So what does archaeotenatology bring to the study of archives such as this? That would not be an offer by just common sense archaeology. The limitations of a collection like this are obvious. It's clear. They're still, and this is our point, benefits to working with material like this and among those we want to highlight four points. First, the important of a systematic description such as archaeotenatology allows for this systematic description of the position of the feature along with the following systematic approach for analysis and interpretation clarifies the important boundaries between observation and interpretation. Casting these burials in a clear light and creating a data set that is, in our opinion, more objective even when applied to old and fragmentary collections for other scholars to work with in this period. So this systematic approach may in fact be particularly important when the data is imperfect. So instead of saying we shouldn't do archaeotenatology on old excavation documents, we probably really should do it there because it's really where it's going to make a huge difference. We also argue that diagnostic observations can be made even in cases like this, and we've showed a couple of examples of that. We have been able to make critical observations even on partially preserved or partially documented materials and that has added crucial and detailed information about the mortar practices and showed a few examples of that. We agree that the systemic thinking that characterizes archaeotenatology brings it all together and looking at the relationships between the decomposing human body and the feature allows us to really think this through systematically in a way that common sense archaeology does not have a developed tool to do. And finally, most important point perhaps, the systemic detailed approach allows us to get a better understanding of the handling of the body and its ritualized practices. The repetitive patterns that Rita pointed out that sometimes can be traced even in fragmentary remains through the observation of diagnostic indicators bring to the fore a norm of how dead bodies were handled and deposited within a cultural context. Unusual cases like the one I presented might challenge these patterns, but also as in this case enrich our understanding by providing a pathway toward the lived experience of the burial of the body. Of course there will be more insecurity and more remaining question marks when approaching a collection like this with a methodology like archaeotenatology since it relies on careful documentation of ample information. But we hope that we have been able to demonstrate that archaeotenatology is not limited to the field and that it's worthwhile to apply the approach also to excavations and all collections of imperfect documentation that were not produced with this methodology in mind. The principles are robust enough to generate important results and insight even years after the excavation. We also hope that we have been able to show that the application of this approach leads not merely to new and more secure data but also to richer theoretical understanding of the more mature ritual in the past. Thank you very much.


luminaries gonna have to get pushed. Is that 11? Everybody forced tier ripping 2022 Chronicles baseball hobby 8 bucks half case number 16. I'll show the random again real quick.

It gives them more space to sign to a lot of guys have bigger autographs than the stickers that they're given so a lot of guys will shorten it on stickers and it's just it's just seen as much more personable to have it on the card. Yeah that's that's why the value is higher higher regarded. It's just like Game War and you know Freddie Freeman Jersey card Dodgers 35 out of 99. It looks better too. Yeah that's the other one.

We've got three and two in Chronicles up next.


I present the President of the United States. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. David, I thank you very much. Cardinal Cook, Governor Kerry, Mayor Koch, our two senators, your two senators. I've tried to claim them on several occasions, and sometimes with success. Well, the ladies and gentlemen here at the head table and all of you, I'm delighted to be back in New York and to be able to enter here wearing a scarf presented to me this morning by the mayor and to have this chance to meet with this distinguished group. My advisors recently presented me three choices for a New Year's resolution on the budget. First, cut spending so deeply that we would destroy the safety net. Second, raise taxes. Third, have lunch with David Rockefeller. So don't worry, but David, really don't worry, I came to praise you, not to bankrupt you. And there's a lot of praise to give. You know, there is a new spirit of individual initiative rising in our land, and a good deal of the credit belongs to you and to your colleagues. I'm going to digress for a moment from what I intended to say right here. A terrible tragedy took place in the capital city yesterday. The full extent of that tragedy is still not yet known. But I only mention it because there are cynics who don't somehow believe in humanity anymore, and in projects such as the one that you're engaged in and the ones that I've been talking about, doubt whether people can carry them out. Well, what better example? Yesterday we saw a partnership, yes. The agencies and departments of government responsible in times of emergency were there. The heroism of the firemen in the icy waters is well known to all of us. But then there was just a bystander who saw a woman lose her grip on the line the helicopter was using to bring her to shore, and without hesitation he dived into the water. Lenny Skutnik. Nothing had picked him out, as particularly to be a hero, but without hesitation there he was, and he saved her life. There's another man whose name we don't know, but the helicopter pilot tells of him. He was one of the group that were clinging to the wreckage out there in the icy waters, and time after time the line from the helicopter with the ring, the life ring, came to him, and each time he picked out someone else and worked to get the ring around them. And four people are alive today because he did this, and we don't know who he is because he gave his life in doing that, and sank beneath the waves before it could come back again. The helicopter for him, greater glory hath no man. You know, someone has once said that a hero is no braver than any other man. He's just brave five minutes longer. We know the severe problems that your city has battled. With construction falling, profits falling, firms fleeing, jobs disappearing, and essential services jeopardized, New York was pronounced dead more than once. But like with Mark Twain, the reports were exaggerated. It didn't happen because you wouldn't let it happen, and you won't let it happen. Good cities only die when they don't have leaders of courage and vision, the kind of leaders sitting at this head table and at every other table in this room. The most powerful force in the world comes not from balanced sheets or weapons arsenals, but from the human spirit. It flows like a mighty river in the faith, love, and determination that we share in our common ideals and aspirations. When New York was in trouble, groups which had quarreled for years joined together to fight for the greater good of saving the city. Labor, business, government, voluntary associations all pitched in. Out of that spirit of shared sacrifice was born this unique group, your New York City partnership. With a membership and mission touching every corner of the city, you reflect the rich diversity that makes New York such a special place. In your beliefs, your efforts, and your accomplishments, you are setting the course to progress and freedom that our nation must follow. You are that tough little tug that can pull our ship of state off the shoals and out into open water. You believe private initiative, the private sector are essential to economic and social progress, and so do all of us in our administration. Together, we urge others to take part because we believe in ourselves and in those we help, and in our ability to produce positive change. I'm told that your partnership launched the biggest project ever attempted in an American city to strengthen mass transportation by lending executive assistance. And you also created, as you've been told here today, 14,000 jobs for economically disadvantaged youngsters in 1,800 private businesses. Nothing that large or successful has ever been achieved anywhere else. And today, I learned that your goal for this summer is even higher. This morning, I had the opportunity to meet some of the young people you've already helped. They told me the jobs you provided were much more than income. They also received the confidence they need to seek and find jobs next summer and in the years ahead. I'm going to wear that T-shirt that was given to me. We want your New York partnership to succeed and grow. But truthfully, we want much more. We want an American partnership that includes every community in our nation, one that will build on what you and others have begun. A renaissance of the American community, the neighborhood. This is the heart and soul of rebuilding America. May I interject an encouraging word about that partnership that I mentioned? We have just completed our combined federal campaign chaired by Secretary of Commerce, Mack Baldridge, 230,000 federal employees in Washington, topped last year's total by one and a quarter million dollars, the biggest increase in the campaign's 18-year history. We did $13,665,000 to our annual government charity drive. Last January, when I spoke about a new beginning, I was talking about much more than budget cuts and incentives for savings and investment. I was talking about a fundamental change in the relationship between citizen and government. A change that honors the legacy of the founding fathers and draws upon all our strengths as leader of the world as we approach the 21st century. Preservation of freedom is the gift of our revolution and the hope of the world. The brutal Soviet-sponsored repression in Poland reminds us how precious our blessings are. Ironically, the Soviets understand and agree. They believe that freedom is precious, too. So they ration it like all the other good things their people don't have. There's nothing artificial about freedom, nor any guarantee it will endure. Dwight Eisenhower warned that freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men. It must be daily earned and refreshed, else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots.  The key to rebuilding communities is individual initiative, leadership, personal responsibility. If we encourage these qualities in our people, and especially in our young people, then our freedoms will not wither and die. They will blossom and permit us to reach for our dreams to go as far as our God-given talents will take us. This can be an era of losing freedom or one of reclaiming it. I think we've made our choice and turned an historic corner. We're not going back to the glory days of big government. Some in Washington still pine for the politics of the past. Policies that didn't work and never will. We're living with the misery of their mistakes. The best view of big government is in a rear-view mirror as we leave it behind. If it's commerce, they regulate it. If it's income, they tax it. If it's a budget, they bust it. And given their way, they'd make everything that isn't prohibited compulsory. And when and then when everything falls apart, they tell us it's because we let them down. Well, we weren't put on this earth just to make government bigger. I know that they were well-intentioned with all their social experiments, but too often those meant to benefit most from government-imposed solutions paid the highest price and bore the deepest scars when they failed. In 20 years, the federal budget increased five-fold and the cost of welfare grew ten-fold. But that didn't help many local governments which lost effective control of their communities. It didn't help small businesses hit by the highest interest rates in 100 years. It didn't help the working poor and pensioners flattened by double-digit inflation and taxation. The era of rising savings, investment, productivity, growth, and technological supremacy move has somehow slipped from our grasp. Did we forget that government is the people's business and every man, woman, and child becomes a shareholder with the first penny of tax paid? Did we forget that government must not supersede the will of the people or the responsibilities of the people in their communities? Did we forget that the function of government is not to confer happiness on us, but to give us the opportunity to work out happiness for ourselves? It's not a question of turning back the clock or a long retreat into the past. No one denies that government has an essential role to protect those in need to provide opportunity to pave the way. But ultimately it is individuals, millions of everyday citizens who brave new horizons, expand freedom, and create better lives for us all. Only when the human spirit is allowed to invent and create, only when individuals are given a personal stake in deciding their destiny, in benefiting from their own risks, only then can society remain alive, prosperous, progressive, and free. You in the private sector, corporations, firms, merchants, family farmers, mom and pop stores all over the country, you hold the key. I believe this with every ounce of my being, and that's why I'm confident about our economic recovery program, because it places a premium on individual initiative, on we the people. Yes, we're in a recession. Our administration is cleanup crew for those who went on a nonstop binge and left the tab for us to pick up. The recession hurts. It causes pain. We work our way out of it, and faster than expected. Our economic program will work because Americans want it to work, and we're going to make it work because it's based on common sense. Reduce the percentage of gross national product that is being taken by the government. I receive a few letters in this job, as you might have mentioned, but there's one letter I still haven't received. The one that says, Dear Mr. President, please raise my tax cut. Will you please raise my taxes so we can get our economy moving again? We believe, as did Thomas Jefferson, that what people earn belongs to them. Government shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. Despite massive resistance from tax spenders, we put together the greatest collection of incentives in 50 years to help working Americans in the months ahead. If they work or save more than they did before, their reward will be greater for it and greater than it was. These incentives are just beginning. More will follow, and people will take advantage of them. Dollar by dollar, one day at a time, they'll start saving for their future again. And as they do, they're going to save America's future. I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of whining voices telling us we can't do this and we can't do that. Don't tell Americans what they can't do. Just tell them what needs doing and watch them surprise you with their ingenuity. Surprisingly, it won't take much. If America can increase its savings rate by just two percentage points, we can add nearly $60 billion a year to our capital pool to fight high interest rates, finance new investments, and new jobs. I believe a country that licked the Great Depression and turned the tide in World War II can increase its savings rate by two percentage points and will. If our incentives motivate people to work just 30 minutes more a week, the gross national product will grow by $25 billion. That means hundreds of thousands of new jobs and a lower deficit. If we could send astronauts to the moon and bring them safely back in 1969, we can get Americans back to work who want jobs, need jobs, and deserve jobs. And we will. This nation has no mission of mediocrity. We were never meant to be second best. The spirit that built our country was bold, not timid. It was a spirit of pride, confidence, and courage that we could do anything. And we still can today. I'm appealing to the American people. Ignore the profits of failure who are paralyzed with fear. Set your sights on number one and together let's go for it. Now let's rediscover America. Not the America bound by the Potomac River, but the one beyond it. The America whose initiative, ingenuity, and audacity made us the envy of the world. The America whose rich tradition of generosity began with simple acts of neighbor caring for neighbor. We passed our reforms in Washington but change must begin at the grassroots on the streets where you live. And that's why on September 24th I announced that we were launching a nationwide effort to encourage citizens to join with us in finding where need exists and then to organize volunteer programs to meet those needs. Six weeks ago I had the honor of appointing a private sector initiatives task force whose distinguished chairman, as Dave O'Varity is with me here today. The word partnership will be key to the task force's success just as it has already been to your own. We want to see community partnerships between the private and public sector in every community in America. I've asked the task force to seek out successful community models of private sector initiatives. Schools, churches, businesses, unions the foundations and civic groups and give them the recognition they deserve. I wonder if I might make this same request to the members of the media when you see meaningful examples of personal leadership would you let the public know about them would you make sure that our young people know that honor, integrity, kindness and courage do exist that they're important to live up to. Community groups are part and parcel of our national heritage. They respond to our desire for cooperation, sympathy teamwork and brotherhood. They help to share our lives they're close to the problems we face and they can best find the solutions we seek. The American spirit of neighborhood is like a communion of hearts that rings the country it offers a wealth of concern talent and energy ready to be tapped. The Reverend Billy Graham estimates that if every church and synagogue in the United States would average adopting 10 poor families beneath the poverty level. Now notice I said average obviously some smaller churches and temples might adopt only one but then larger churches could adopt many more but if the average adopted was 10 we could eliminate all government welfare in this country federal state and local and because it would be manned by volunteers the cost would be infinitely less and the actual help greater would come from the heart. Isn't it time that we all agree that we should be providing incentives to help people get off welfare so we can stop demoralizing human beings and start saving them. Now we realize especially in the case of business donors and foundations that government has placed obstacles in the way of private initiative so I've asked the task force to help identify these and to recommend ways to me for their removal we'll ease government regulations to encourage initiatives. I told Bill Verity six weeks ago I don't want a committee report in the action and results get the private sector in the driver's seat so we can start using market incentives and philanthropy to find lasting solutions to community problems. Coming up here today he told me that his task force committees have already developed an action plan for a larger goal. The American people understand the logic of our approach. A recent Roper poll found a large majority believe that government does not spend tax money for human services as effectively as a leading private organization like the United Way. Now I don't want to leave the impression that our administration is asking the private sector to fill the gap dollar for dollar for every reduction in the federal budget. We don't want you to duplicate wasteful or unnecessary programs. We want community models that have worked. Models we can emulate and build on. Private human capital is far more valuable and effective than federal money. Once we do get the private sector in the driver's seat we can go just as far as your imagination and inspiration take us. For example Pima County, Arizona concerned about the impact of their hot meals program for the elderly. They discovered that out of their $53 budget $50,000 went for staffing and administrative overhead. So they eliminated the overhead, ran the program with volunteers. They doubled the food budget to $6,000, saved $47,000 and ended up feeding twice as many people. The people who managed jubilee housing, a privately funded housing development in Washington, D.C., told us they can renovate housing units for the poor for much less than federally financed programs. The tenants then share responsibility for building maintenance in return for reduced rents. Jubilee also operates a job placement service and has placed 55 welfare recipients in full-time jobs since it began last May. But the real beauty is what happens to the people and families who participate. We asked the fellow who runs this church and company-supported operation to compare jubilee to public housing. He said there is one difference. Jubilee changes lives. Last summer, the city of Boston was faced with a loss of revenues and decided it could no longer afford to operate its pools, swimming pools, or run its summer programs. That meant closing down 18 area pools and terminating 400 neighborhood basketball teams for thousands of children. But a group called the Boston Committee, which had dealt earlier with the city's racial tensions, made an appeal to business and foundation groups. Donate $400,000 and help us operate the pools and run the sports clinics. The private sector came through. The United Way chipped in $10,000 to cover administrative expenses. All told, the funds contributed amounted to much less than the cost of the canceled programs. But it didn't matter because neighborhood volunteers cleaned and supervised the pools and provided their own lifeguards. One other thing, there was remarkably less vandalism or destructive behavior at the Boston pools last summer. Parents themselves were taking greater responsibility for the children's conduct. The U.S. Comptroller General's Office reported in 1977 that we wasted $31 billion worth of food that year. That's 137 million tons or 20% of our entire annual production. Now there are volunteer groups across the nation called Gleaners trying to remedy that.  He got the idea a few years back and had so much talk at the time of world hunger. He and members of his fraternity got permission to go into the fields after harvest and pick up what had been missed. In California, a local charity group called Food Share salvages food and distributes it to the elderly and needy. Its members were docks and canneries picking up unused but edible vegetables and fruits. On a good day they pack over a thousand boxes. A group called Statewide or Gleaners Statewide works in fields and orchards salvaging acres of produce that would be left unpicked or lying on the ground to rot because labor costs make it uneconomic to salvage. This group's efforts have already been cited by the State Farm Bureau. Their leader Homer Farner told the Christian Science Monitor that with a little support from business a day's work from those we could lick the hunger problem in this country and maybe in the entire world. Don't tell us we can't cope with our problems. Don't tell us that America's days are best days are behind her. The world's hope is America's future. America's future is in your dreams. Make them come true. If we believe in ourselves and in the God who loves and protects us together we can build a society more humane more compassionate more rewarding than any ever known in the history of man. Not too long ago I received a letter from a 94-year-old woman in Odessa, Florida. She's blind. Had to have her daughter type it. She said she had never written a president before but she had to write me to say how thrilled she was at what we're trying to do. To become again a nation of neighbors who care about each other who take care of their own. That was the strength of America, she said. It was what made us great and she closed with this. I just want to say God bless you and your efforts and may he move us all to do our part. May he move us all to do our part. Isn't that what it's all about? An obligation. A personal responsibility to give something back to a country that has given us so much. We can't all be the best but we can each give our best and America deserves no less. I received another letter just a few days ago from a Massachusetts man in his 80s. He enclosed his entire month's check from Social Security to be used for reducing the national debt. Let us start asking ourselves in 1982 what did I do today that will help a fellow American in need? If the answer is nothing then the next question is what am I going to do about that tomorrow? The Bible talks of faith, hope and charity and the greatest of these is charity. The real meaning of the parable of the good Samaritan has always been not so much the benefit that was done to the pilgrim who had been beaten but the good that accrued to the Samaritan for going to his aid across the other side of the road and not his wounds and carried him to the nearest town. He didn't hurry on by and then when he got to town tell a case worker that there was someone out there back of ways that needed help. Henry David Thoreau once asked if a man constantly aspires is he not elevated? Did every man try heroism magnanimity truth, sincerity and find that there was not advantage in them that it was a vain endeavor of course not not then not now not ever what we give will be given back many times over it is we who will be richer stronger better and as we change so will America I told you already that the hero is just a hero five minutes longer let me leave you with the words of Herb Brooks he happens to be coach of the New York Rangers now but he formerly was coach of our gold medal Olympic hockey team I think everyone will remember the thrill those young Americans gave us they made us so proud at the Olympics at Lake Placid when they beat the unbeatable Russian team Coach Brooks was in the locker room before they took the ice against the Russians he knew they'd have to be better than they ever could be these players with confidence play the game of their lives so he told them you are born to be a player you are meant to be here at this time this is your moment well this is our moment yours and mine our time to justify the brief time we spend here to be able to look our children and our children's children in the face and tell them that in our time here we did all that could be done thank you for being here today for the cause that unites us God bless you we are on our way
