Barack Obama, who's best known for breaking barriers, is the first African-American president of the United States. From 2009 to 2017, he was the 44th president of the U.S. of A. Obama has been able to snag some pretty fancy real estate in Washington and Edgertown, along with his former home in Honolulu. While the Obamas were not wealthy for much of their adult lives, they first became millionaires around 2005, thanks to book royalties as Barack entered the political spotlight. Upon leaving office, Barack and Michelle rented a mansion in Washington, D.C., while their youngest daughter finished high school. We'll take a look at Obama's $8.1 million mansion they purchased to snag the rental, along with their $14.9 million property on Martha's Vineyard. The property features a 7,000-square-foot-man home and 29 oceanfront acres of land. Barack Obama first gained national attention when he gave the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention in July 2004. On February 10, 2007, Barack announced he was running for president of the United States. He eventually faced off against Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination. He won the nomination then, with Joe Biden as his vice president, defeated John McCain to win the presidency. Between 91 and 2004, Barack never earned more than $30,000 for his work as a professor and state representative. The majority of the Obama family income during this time came from Michelle's lucrative salary as a lawyer, working primarily for the University of Chicago Hospital System. In 2005, Barack's income jumped to $157,000 when he became a U.S. In the same year, Michelle earned $273,000. However, because of his keynote address in 2004, the Obamas combined salary jumped from $240,000 in 2000 to $5.5 million in 2009. In 2017, we do know that the Obamas received a $65 million book advance for multiple books and media projects after leaving the White House. They have made even more money from book advances and are now highly sought-after public speakers. Now, as a result of the Obama's making bank, they have been able to snag some pretty luxurious places throughout the United States. What's going on, guys? It's your boy, Marla Palmer, and today we're bringing you another house tour here for you on Famous Entertainment. I noticed 95% of you guys are still not subscribed and you're still watching, so be sure to hit that subscribe button because we post no videos every day. We previously reported on Jason Statham or Tiger Woods, so you can check those videos out. And now that we got the details on the new place, it was time for an update on this one. So if you like these videos, ring that bell for notifications, follow me on Instagram at daddudeclidachat some more, and let me know whose house tour to do next in the comments down below. Let's get into the video. We were lucky enough to find Barack Obama's child at home in Honolulu, Hawaii. Now, the Obamas did not have a lot of money growing up, but this cozy little home served as the former president's home base from 1964 to 1967. This was also Obama's only single family dwelling in the US during his formative years. The house is one block from UH Manoa, which is where his mother studied. It was walking distance to nearby elementary schools, private schools, parks, and shopping. The unit was 1,900 square feet, plus 334 square feet covered Linae. The second is a cottage that comes complete with a 292 square foot studio and one bathroom. There's a separate unit for guests or rental income, and the cottage can be entered from Waluwe. President Obama purchased the home he was previously leasing for 22,000 a month in the upscale neighborhood of Kalorama in Washington, DC. President Obama's house was estimated to be worth 5.9 million at the time of their lease in May 2016, but in June 2017 they paid 8.1 million for the home. The match was built back in the late 1920s and comes complete with nine bedrooms, eight and a half bedrooms, and a whopping 8,200 square feet. The large boat features three stories, three fireplaces, stunning hardwood floors throughout the majority of the home. The house sits on a quarter acre of land and backs up to mature trees and further away, a creek. The home is all the markings of a classic, two-door with the white wash brick, and a steep-pitched roof, which appears to be slate. A curved path of steps leads guests to the front entrance beneath the copper portico. There, state-of-the-art kitchen features bright white cabinetry against light gray walls, along with marble conitops, which give an airy and light feel. In addition to a large center island, the kitchen also boasts a small workspace and a breakfast nook. The spacious dining room comes complete with recessed lighting and a modern chandelier against a unique hardwood ceiling. The wanes-coated walls add another touch of formality to this space to make the room a perfect spot for family dinners. Whether permitting, the Obamas can also open the French doors for some fresh air or head out to their state patio in the backyard. There's a sitting room that features conversational furniture arrangement beside a fireplace with a traditional white mantle. A less formal sitting room in the home contains a full wall of windows and French doors leading out to the backyard. The latter features conversational seating and a fireplace, a TV sat above the mantle in place of a large piece of art. Hidden in the house is an attic bedroom with a small modern ensuite bathroom and closet. When the Obamas purchased the home, it was fully updated and move-in-ready. The kitchen was modernized with stunning countertops and great appliances, along with the bathrooms which featured marble, tiling, and countertops. So, no renovations required. The master bedroom gives a private, elegant, and calm ambiance and features a wall of windows that let in plenty of natural light. Perhaps the coolest feature on the lowest floor of the mansion is a huge and fully finished basement. Keeping with the 1920s style of built-in bookcase spans the entire length of one wall. The best part of this basement, though, is the kitchen. Yes, that's right. The Obamas have two kitchens and the one in the basement looks as balling as the one upstairs. Like the main kitchen, this secondary kitchen features marble countertops and stainless steel appliances. The Obamas' most recent purchase in 2019 was an $11.75 million mansion that comes complete with seven bedrooms, eight and a half bedrooms, and 6,800 square feet. Now, if privacy is what the Obamas are looking for, they are in luck. This stunning custom house sits on over 29 private acres of manicured lawns, greenery, beach, and directly on the Edgar Town Great Pond. The long and winding driveway, sprawling lawn, and incredible water views make for the perfect family compound setting for generations to come. The nearly 7,000 square foot of main residence is finished with the finest details and is designed with multiple seating and entertaining spaces. A modern chef's kitchen and a formula circular dining room surrounded by a wall of windows, overlooking the grounds. The spacious and dramatic living room space boasts vaulted ceilings with exposed steel beams and a focal point stone fireplace. There are two guest wings and an impressive master suite with fireplace, private sun deck, and spectacular water views. Not to mention you can spend summer days by the pool side in a garden-like setting with the sounds of the waves lapping in the distance. Or if you're feeling really adventurous, explore the expansive Great Pond, an outer barrier reach for a full day on the water.  While most of Martha's Vineyard Mansions give off an ambience feel, the Obamas pulled in audible and went modern architecture and interesting design features. One particularly exciting feature is the ceiling in the home's circular sitting room. The high ceiling is accented with cement pillars and large wood beams that give the space a more modern look. If the Obamas decided to start a friendly games night, they can do so with their balling billiards table. This kitchen is a unique mix of classic and modern that features clean white tile, sparkling countertops, and new appliances. The kitchen also has some old world charm with wood paneling on the island, glass cabinets, and classic wood flooring.  The space also boasts a stylish chandelier that holds a candle and windows that give this room absolutely stunning views. The spacious bedroom boasts a fireplace, beige carpets, and clean white walls to give this master retreat a relaxed, cozy feel. To make the room feel even bigger, there are windows above the bed as well as full-length glass doors to provide plenty of natural light. While the stunning bathroom features the cabinets and great countertops, double-sided vanity mirrors, tons of storage and bright pendant lights, there's even a large bathtub with a view of the yard. Another guest room contains a kid's room featuring two sets of bunk beds pushed against the walls. The guest room has large windows that let in lots of natural light in addition to providing a great view of the trees and massive yard outside. Probably the coolest feature of the house is in the massive balcony off of the master bedroom, complete with a hot tub. It also features a staircase from the deck down the side of the home leading down to the yard so you know, you don't bring water through the house.  The Obama's home also features a beautiful pool with lots of room for a table and plenty of space for lounge chairs. Tucked away is the Obama's private beachfront with a boathouse, which features a paved walkway from the house all the way down to the private beach. All right, so I think I'll bring this house tour to an end here. We got to take a quick look at Barack Obama's home and that massive beachfront property that features his very own boathouse. After seeing that fancy little boat he snagged, what did you guys think? Was it everything you would expect out of Obama? Personally, I thought the hot tub with the balcony, that was just out of this world. Out of Obama's features, which were your fave? You guys can go ahead and rate them in the comments down below. I'd also love it if you guys give my personal channel that dude McFly a little subscribe. You know, I'll post a video every, you know, whatever and I'll see you guys next time.

The Hollywood Radio Theatre. The Hollywood Radio Theatre. Adaptations of famous motion pictures with Hollywood's greatest star. There is your host, Frank Brzeeve. Greetings again, ladies and gentlemen. The roster of pictures Kerry Grant has starred in is a hit parade of Hollywood. In past weeks we have presented, here comes Mr. Jordan, Mr. Blandings builds his dream house, and The Bachelor and The Bobby Soxer. And the film that's my pleasure to present on this program is one of the brightest. The hilarious comedy from RKO Pictures, Every Girl Should Be Married. Just the title of the play alone expresses a very popular sentiment. But as a comedy, it's an hour of entertainment you won't want to miss. And so, it's time for our play. With Kerry Grant as Dr. Madison Brown and Betsy Drake as Annabelle, we raise the curtain on Act One of Every Girl Should Be Married. There's a drug store across the street from Sanford's fashionable department store. It's lunchtime. And at the Soda Fountain, two sales girls from Sanford have ordered their usual sandwich and are deeply immersed in their usual topic of conversation. Men. Well, it just doesn't make sense, Julie. Why can't a girl send a man candy and flowers to take him to dinner? Or call for them in our car and go for a nice little drive in the country? And run out of gas, Annabelle? Maybe, if we wanted to. Of course, I don't suppose I'll meet the right man today. I may not even meet him this week or even this year. But believe me, when I see him, I'll know him. And then what? Well, I'll put my plan to work. A girl has simply got to plan. A girl who doesn't plan? Well, it's simply the difference between G.I. Joe and General Eisenhower. Oh, hi, Eddie. Here's your sandwich, General. Chopped egg on week. You forgot the pickle. Oh, yes, sir. Sorry. And not only that, Julie, but a girl's got to... Julie, Julie, look. Where? The magazine counter. Oh, he's cute. He's looking at a magazine. Yeah, well, relax, honey. The magazine he's looking at is better babies. Well, maybe he's just interested in his future. Don't be silly. No bachelor ever looks at a baby magazine. I guess you're right, Julie. Excuse me. Where are you going? Oh, nowhere, just at the magazine counter. May I help you, sir? I'm looking for an infant's where. Well, that's straight ahead into your life. Well, hello. Huh? You don't remember me, do you? Huh? The girl in the drugstore yesterday. Uh, uh... The magazine. Oh, yes, yes, of course. Strange, our both wanting better babies. Uh, yes, yes, sir. Well, don't you want to be waited on? I work here. Oh, well, hello. I'd like to see some booties. Booties? Yes, good warm ones. The tie-on kind. I want something serviceable. Are the booties for your nephew or something? Oh, no. No, there's a kind you advertise. I believe you call them winky woollies. Oh, yes. Yes, we do. These are the winky woollies. Good. Well, I'll take 14 pairs. 14? My goodness. Nine pink, five blue. I'd like them sent to Miss Hazel. Miss Hazel? Yes. Miss Hazel Wildbrand at the Fernwood Children's Home. Oh, Children's Home. Well, how perfectly sweet. Why, that explains everything. It does? Well, I'm glad. Charging to me, if you will. I'm Doctor... Doctor? Yes. Dr. Madison Brown, 710 North Rexford Drive. Oh, I think that's just wonderful. I mean about your being a doctor and curing people and us meeting again like this and everything. No, it's a small world, isn't it? Isn't it, though? And especially in April. What's April got to do... Never mind, never mind. And thank you for everything. When you come in again, I'm always here. I must remember that. Miss Attabelle Sims, that's my name, and we have darling things, since you like babies so much. As a matter of fact, I don't like them at all. I think they're noisy little nuisance. It's quarter past six, Mary. I've been up to my knees in tiny tops all day. I'm going home. Sorry, but there's another patient, Doctor. She telephoned you. You rushed right over. Why didn't you tell her... It's the only time she could get here. But I've got a dinner date with Carolyn Davis at 7 o'clock. Well, you'll be late. Oh, my. Why didn't I become a night watchman or a flag post-sitter or somebody with regular hours instead of a baby doctor? You're a pediatrician and one of the best in town. If I say so myself. Well, reach in that bottom drawer, mark bills, and help yourself to a thousand dollars. And look, Mary, the next time that... Oh, good afternoon. Good evening. I'm sorry, but I just couldn't get here any sooner. And I wouldn't dream of seeing anybody but you. You wouldn't? Why? Who sent you? Well, I know it at all. But you're the only doctor. I know really well. Oh, when did all this take place? My goodness, don't you remember? Winky Wallies. Oh, yes, yes. How could I ever forget you? Well, thank you. Step into my office. Take a chair. Now, let's begin at the beginning, shall we? Suppose we have the little patient's name. Annabelle. A-N-A-B-E-L. Uh-huh. Last name? Sims. Hmm. Sex. Female. Well, of course, I haven't said. Now, uh, tell me, exactly what have you observed? Well, I guess you might call him insomnia. Have you any idea what causes this? What you guess I might call insomnia? I don't know. It might be emotional. Kind of improbable. Have you noticed any breaking out? Rashes, chasers? No, no, no. Nothing at all. Not a mark. Anyplace. Oh, that's good. Yes, isn't it? Digestion? Oh, excellent. Practically starving right at this moment. Cry a lot? Oh, once in a while. Well, Mrs. Sims, if you'd bring little Annabelle in... Missy Sims, and who in the world is little Annabelle? Well, I just naturally... But I told you distinctly in the store, Miss Sims, what kind of a doctor are you anyway, going around forgetting people, presuming they're married? But what about the baby? What baby? Oh, soon all of a sudden I've got a baby. Ha, ha, ha. Well, naturally I... And there's nothing funny about it either. Well, I'm afraid you've made a mistake coming here, Miss Sims. You see, I'm a pediatrician. What? A baby doctor. Yes? Oh, well, that's more wonderful than ever. I just love babies. You do? Well, I hope you have some of your own one day. Oh, I'm going to. Just as soon as I'm married. Oh, if I'd only noticed when I came in, all those baby photographs on your wall. Who's that wonderful child? That one? That's Mrs. Willoughby's little Mary Nell.  Well, I suppose I'd better be going. I guess doctors are pretty busy in the evening, going to clinics and calling on patients and things. Yes. But they do have a free evening once in a while. Oh, yes. About that emotional insomnia of yours, I recommend a little less romantic imagination and a little more sleep. Oh, but I never... Good evening, Miss Sims. Goodbye, Dr. Brown. Anything else, doctor? Yes, you can put back that thousand dollars. Just me, Annie. Oh, well, come in, Julie, I guess. How's the movie? Oh, fine. How about coming up to my room for a cup of tea? I don't see how I can. I'm very busy. Oh, you're still working on that report? If you think Mr. Sanford's going to give you a raise. Oh, this is for the store. Oh, it isn't? It's just some notes I've been making. It's rather personal. Interesting facts about Dr. Madison Brown. Uh, yes. Dr. Brown's birthplace, Dr. Brown's college, sports, hobbies. What are you writing anyway? It's all part of the plan I told you about. Annabelle, you mean you're deliberately trying to trap him? Well, I know it's dreadful, Julie, but this is just the sort of thing that men force us to do. Anyway, it's all for his own good. The way he is now is perfectly miserable. How do you know? He only thinks he's happy. How could he be? A bachelor? All alone in the world? And you should see how he lives.  Oh, I've made it a point to find out things. For instance, look at these menus. Menus? A different restaurant for each night of the week. Week after week. No home cooking. What are these red pencil mines? Things you like to eat, of course. Clear turtle soup. Steak with mushroom. Oh, Julie, isn't he wonderful? Oh, sensational. Socks, 11 and a half. Collar, 16. Sleep length, 35.  I'll bet you even know what color of shorts he wears. Blue. Oh, Annabelle. Now, honestly, I agree. Well, it took me 10 days worth of lunch hours and nights to dig up all this. And what good is it going to do you? You'll see. Now, every Tuesday night he has dinner all alone at Pierre's. Oh, I'll tell you one thing. I'm not going to make a dope of myself again like I did that day in his office. He sent me a bill for $10. Huh. Probably that old nurse. And anyway, it set my plan back for two weeks. And do you know what he thinks? He thinks I'm after him. I wonder what gave him an idea like that. I'll tell you what he needs, Julie. Competition. He's got to think I've got somebody else interested in me. What about your boyfriend from Greenville? Old Joe. A caterpillar wouldn't be jealous of Old Joe. Oh, hello? Oh, yes. Put him on. Old Joe? Yes, Pierre. Yes. Oh, this is Mr. Roger Sanford's private sex repair. You can't do this.  I called before, but you were out. Oh, yes. May we cert him off? Tuesday night at eight, Mr. Sanford's regular table. Champagne? Oh, yes. Peeper. I mean Piper Hyde Dick. 1933. Oh, and Pierre. You might tell the orchestra soft and romantic music. Oh, exact them all. Merci, merci. Au revoir. Julie, I've got to have $25. What? My goodness, I'll pay you back. Do you know how they rob you of Pierre's champagne and everything? Something may go wrong. Now I have to pay for my own dinner. Oh, look, it's none of my business. Oh, and how do you think I'd look in the Bonnet original? The one with the blue net and the silver star? You mean XB247? Why, that dress cost $289.50. Julie, I'm not going to buy it. You're the funniest idea sometimes. We're just going to borrow it from the stall for one night. Well, in two minutes, you've gone all the way from impersonation to grand larceny. Well, you can get 20 years for things like that. Oh, cool. 20 years just because I love somebody? Just wait till Tuesday night, Julie. There I'll be at Pierre's. Pretending you're waiting for Mr. Sam. Well, naturally. Such things just don't happen. Not unless you make them happen. Not unless you plan them. Well, how do you think generalizing how it would night like? Happy D-Day. Well, hello. Miss Sims, isn't it? Oh? I've been sitting over there at my table trying to figure out where I've seen you before. Oh, no, really? Really. Well, then suddenly I remembered, and you don't seem to remember me. Should I? Yeah, the pediatrician to unmarried ladies. Dr. Brown, of course. How could I ever forget you? Oh, that's an ordinary face. Been wearing it for years. Do you mind if I sit down? Well, I suppose it'll be all right, even though I'm expecting my date at any moment. You could tell him I'm treating your emotional insomnia. Would you like some people? Piper Hyde 6, 1933. Thank you. My favorite wine. Is it? What a coincidence.  Oh, yes, regularly. I'm quite a creature of habit, you know. You are? Well, my fiancee and I, I mean, he's almost my fiancee. We have dinner here together every Wednesday, except tonight he asked me to meet him because he had such a terribly important engagement with the governor, I think. I have news for you. It's not Wednesday. What? It's Tuesday. Oh, now just because I got mixed up about you being a baby, doctor doesn't mean I can't tell the day of the week, but... Oh, no. Oh, yes. Of course it's Tuesday. And I know exactly how it happened. You see, I always have my class in home economics in preparation for motherhood on Tuesday. This week they changed it to Monday, which naturally made me think that today was Wednesday, you see. In a roundabout sort of way. This date of yours, who is he? You mean, who is he? Yes, who is he? Well, I really don't think I ought to say. You see, he's so well-known in glamorous, and it's also sort of confidential, he's family, you know. Of course. But I thought just between such old friends, you might want to tell me anyway. Well, I do want to. Go ahead, then. Well, first I ought to tell you how it all started. You see, every girl should be married, which is something you probably already know. Anyway, my mother and father want me to marry old Joe in Greenville. His name is really Joe, and he's not old just 26, but every time he calls up on the telephone, he says, this is old Joe, and that just about describes him. What's the matter? My ears are out of breath. Well, anyway, no girl can marry a man she's been in love with for 15 years. Of course not. So you came to the city and found this important mystery. Oh, I hope you won't be crude enough to think that I'm just dazzled by all these wealth and social positions, or how many girls are trying to take him away from me. Well, I know one man who fits your description. Oh, you do? Roger Sanford. Roger Sanford. It all seems to add up, Miss Sin. All that glamour and everything. Besides, I happen to hear Pierre say this was Roger Sanford's table. Oh, well, now that you've guessed our secrets, you must promise not to tell a soul, and especially him. He's so funny about these things. Well, that leaves only one thing that I don't understand, Miss Sin. Since you're so interested in this wonderful, confidential Roger Sanford, why have you been chasing after me for the past two weeks? You? Really, Dr. Brown? I've heard of conceit in my time, but you absolutely take the cake. And you'll know just how many candles go on it. And just what do you mean by that, Ramon? Well, you've found out about everything else about me, and so I'm told by my father and my haberdasher, my laundry, and everybody up to last year's girlfriends. Oh, well, to tell you the truth, it was all kind of a plan. You see, I was after you, but I wasn't after you. I was only after you because I was really after him.  No, but don't let that stop you. You see, Roger thinks of me as kind of beautiful and intelligent. Fun to be with. But I have an intuitive feeling you won't get marriage on his mind unless you leave convinced that if he doesn't do it, somebody else will. Hmm. Actually, Dr. Brown, all I really yearn for is to be a wonderful wife and mother and have a darling little home somewhere like Sycamore Lane. That's that new real estate development. I'll be hanged. Oh, it's a matter, don't you believe me? I'm afraid I didn't, but I'm certainly beginning to believe you now. You are? Isn't that the glamorous Roger Sanford just coming in? Well, of course. Oh, my goodness.  Now hurry. I'm afraid it's too late. Hello, Sanford. Well, hello. I was just keeping your charming little friend company for a few minutes. And to be perfectly frank, I'm sorry you showed up at all. Eh. Oh, well. Well, well, that's quite understandable. How are you, darling? Miss me? Ah. Oh. Well, thanks a lot, Brown. See you around sometime. Nice seeing you, Miss Sim. Well, now, isn't this cozy? Miss, uh, Sim? Oh, well. Whoever thought they'd see you here tonight, Mr. Sanford. Apparently you did. Oh, no, I didn't. And if you have a date, I'm not... No, no, no. No, the only date I have now is with you. Heh. I know you, don't I? Oh, it's the use. I work in your store, Mr. Sanford. I'm Annabelle Sims and Infants Ware. And I'm in the most desperate trouble in all my life. Oh, no, no. Annabelle, suppose those you tell Roger all about it. But you don't know what terrible things I've done. I've used your name. I pretended there was a wild love affair going on between us. Really? How am I doing? Oh, just fine, I guess. Now that I'm flattered. Well, this is even your dress. I borrowed it, Model XB247. Oh, it's charming. Oh, you mean you're not going to put me in jail? Well, that all depends, my dear. Now, suppose you start filling in all the details. Oh. It's an intuitive feeling that Dr. Brown wouldn't get marriage on his mind until he's convinced that if he doesn't do it, somebody else will. Very shrewd, little girl. Very shrewd. This is the most original approach I- Oh, no, no, no, no, no, Mr. Sanford. You've got the whole thing wrong. I'm not after you. Oh, well, now, suppose we just slip out of here, huh? You mean we're going someplace else? Oh, this is much too public. We'll take a little drive out in the country and wind up in my place. Little supper together, a chance to really talk things over. What things?  Oh, but I'm very happy with- Head of a department, maybe. Private office, secretary. How would you like that? Oh, just fine, I guess. Oh, good night, Dr. Brown. Good night, Brown. Bye now. Hmm. I don't get it, Pierre. A very rich man, Dr. Brown. May I bring you something else, PC? Yeah. Peeper hide-sick, 1933. In a few moments, we'll continue with the second act of every girl should be married. The American military heritage began even before America. The famous British general, Oliver Cromwell, developed the new model army in 1645. It was a plan that revolutionized England's army. A plan that called for the use of new tactics, the total reorganization of forces, and a realignment of command responsibilities. The commander in chief of the new model army was called the Captain General. The second in command was Cromwell himself, as commander of the cavalry his title was Lieutenant General. Next was ranked the commander of the infantry, the Sergeant Major General. In the 300 and some years since Britain's new model army was raised, the U.S. service branches have dropped the sergeant in front of Major General. That's why today a Lieutenant General ranks a Major General. The legacy of Oliver Cromwell's plan, devised long before the first American armed forces were organized, is a part of our military heritage. And now, here again, is your host. Act two of every girl should be married, starring Cary Grant and Betsy Drake. It's the following day, and Annabelle Simms and her girlfriend Julie are no longer clerks in Sanford's department store. There's been a sudden demotion to the wrapping department. But now on their lunch hour, Annabelle reflects a decided air of optimism. Besides $5 a week, Julie will have the dress paid for in only 17 more weeks. Personally, I think it was their generous Mr. Sanford to let us have the dress at wholesale. When you consider our heart, I hit him last night with that fireplace shovel. Annabelle, there are a couple of things you've simply got to learn. You never hit a man who has over $10,000, and if you're wearing a dress that isn't paid for yet, don't make your getaway over a picket fan. And not only that, I'm going to... Annabelle, look! Down the block, yes. There's Mr. Sanford. And coming this way. Let's cross the street, I'd die of idea. Look, he's across the street, Madison. Dr. Madison, wow! So what? He can't have us arrested, but Mr. Sanford still can. Wait, I've got a simply wonderful idea. Julie, you better go right back to the store. What are you going to do? I'll tell you later and believe me, Julie, it's fate. Me that after what you did to me with that shovel last night... What would be lovely, Roger?  What are you talking about? Stop hanging on to me. I'll explain everything later, Mr. Sanford. Smile at me, please. And, Sims, I've had just about enough of your nonsense, and unless you... He's right across the street. Dr. Brown, he's looking at you. Well, so are about 300 other people, and I... But Dr. Brown must know all the terrible things you've done just over nothing and how unfriendly you are. You know, it scarcely describes my feelings. You're lucky you're not in jail. Oh, I know, I know. Yes, well, at least you have the grace to admit how foolish you were. Mr. Sanford, will you do me a favor? Will you please kiss me? I mean, right now I make it look real, will you? Well, I what? Miss Sims... Thank you, Mr. Sanford. That was very cooperative of you.  Miss Sims, you're somewhat unpredictable. She was, Mr. Sanford. I hope you aren't too mad at me. Yeah, well, I don't know whether I am or not. You know, perhaps you and I are going to be... Oh, yes, Mr. Sanford. Goodbye and thank you very much. Hey, hey, Miss Sims! Hey! Hey, walking. Why, Dr. Brown? I never expected to see you again in 20 million years. How's love these days, Miss Sims? Well, I don't know yet. You seem to be doing just fine across the street there. Oh, that. That's only because Mr. Sanford thinks I might be interested in you. Well, then your little plan is working. Glad I was useful. Just imagine how interested he could become, Missy. Happen to see you and me sort of together a little more? I'd like to accommodate you, Miss Sims, but actually I'm in another line of work. Hey, right now I'm going to have lunch at the athletic club. I always do on Wednesday, you know. But you ought to try big speeds. It's just down the street. And they're that wonderful carried shrimp that everybody simply raves about. Is that so? Yes, and it's only 65 cents. Well, that's certainly reasonable. Isn't it, though, and the place is so nice. Well, thank you for the tip, Miss Sims. I must try that sometimes. Roger, that is the head of a great department store, a civic institution. The least you could do... Would you mind telling me just what it is I've done? You haven't seen the newspaper. No, I haven't seen the newspaper. Well, then here, look, a big picture of you and a girl from the wrapping department kissing in the middle of her lunch hour. Multimillionaire Roger Sanford and salesgirl Annabelle Sims celebrate first day of spring on Busy Downtown Tour Affair. Do we hear wedding bells? As your attorney, I demand to know how this got into the newspaper. How do I know? Probably one of those sidewalk patis. Annabelle Sims. Newspapers live for a story like this. Before they're through with you, they'll boil you in oil. Sorry, Mr. Sanford, but is it Miss Sims who insists on coming into your office? Send her in. There's a certain little somebody who'll get boiled in oil before I do. Mr. Roger Sanford, I want to have a little talk with you.   Not even my first wife would have pulled such an obvious trick. Is that so?  Five million. I don't care. It's somebody else I want. I told you that. What does Dr. Brown think when he sees it? Dr. Brown? Yes, she keeps pretending I've got a rival. Now, look, Miss Sims, I'll give you exactly five minutes to clear out of this store. And believe me, you're getting off easy. Well, don't you worry. I wouldn't work here not even if you raised me five dollars a week, so goodbye. No, no, no. Let's not be too hasty, Miss Sims. I think we can straighten out the whole affair. We can what?  What do you think that newspaper's going to do to you if you start acting like a wolf who makes love to nice little girls and then kicks them out of the store?  What do you expect me to do? Marry her? What? Well, that might not be too bad. Would certainly be bad enough. After all, nice eyes, pretty nose, cute little figure.  No, no, no. And I've changed my mind. I'm not going to quit. Why should I be out of a job if I were going to fire anybody around here, Mr. Roger Sanford? It'd be you. Quite a girl, Sam. Quite a girl. Yeah, she sure is. You know, if she keeps this up, she might get me yet. Oh, now look, Annabella, I don't mind giving up my Sunday afternoon and coming way out here to Sycamore Lane to look at honeymoon cottages. I can dream too, but will you please stop saying that this is your house? Well, if you won't listen to me, Julie. It's a model home. Anybody can come in here and look around, and if you don't, I'll lock that front door. You just don't understand, do you? I understand that all this newspaper publicity about you and Mr. Sanford is affecting your brain, and I use the word Loopsley. That publicity, wasn't it awful? Heaven knows who Dr. Brown must have thought.  You can just never give up. You have to take every single little defeat and twist it around and around until it turns into a great big victory. All right, Annabelle, say it. Well, do you remember Alice Bleakin? Well, the real estate fellow she goes around with says the company wants to build about 50 more houses here in Sycamore Lane. They do, huh? Uh-huh. And somebody gave them the idea that if somebody could have a little talk with Roger Sanford at the right moment and maybe suggest that he put up the money. Annabelle, well, I can't help it if they begged me to live here in this simply dreamy model home. All furnished and everything, can I? Anyway, I've only got it for a month so far. You mean you've gone to Mr. Sanford and... Still be silly after all. I'm not unethical. I've done a single thing that isn't legitimate for a girl. My goodness, if you don't use your imagination, you'll just wind up marry Daniel, buddy. Oh, Julie, isn't this a wonderful house? Oh, I'm going to put flowers everywhere. Gladiolus. He just loves them. And who are you going to hire to drag Dr. Madison Brown out here to smell them? Don't worry, Julie. He'll come out. Now, let's see. The first thing tomorrow, I've got to get hold of his barber. That man is the athletic club and the girl is the cigarette counter. Hey, Julie, you've got about six dollars. Just six dollars. Don't you see? I've got to get them talking to Dr. Brown on the right topic. I think the two dollars each, they'd be very happy to have you. Dr. Brown, I didn't know you ever ate in the drugstore. Well, ordinarily I don't miss Sims, but today I thought I'd make it a special occasion. Well, I just know this lady here will be a darling and move down a seat. Move down? Thank you. You know, Dr. Brown, this is where we first met. Yeah.  Oh, Eddie, I'll have my regular Friday. You know what?   Just tell me what you want to eat. Oh, for goodness' sakes, Eddie, just bring me a Coke. A Coke? Well, Dr., there's certainly been a lot of excitement since I saw you last. I suppose you heard about it. Yes. You and Roger Sanford. You're becoming somewhat of a celebrity. Well, I certainly don't know why people are making such a fuss. You know, there's nothing to it. Of course, Roger can't do enough for me, but what I mean is, there's nothing really set. Is that so? Of course not. You see, Roger just grabbed me and kissed me right out there on the seat. Well, I was simply flabbergasted. But that's what started everybody talking. Marriage is a very serious thing. A girl might even change her mind when she meets somebody else. Don't you think so, Dr. Brown? Yes. As a matter of fact, that's quite a coincidence. My barber talked about the very same thing only this morning, almost word for word. And the girl at the cigarette counter. Let me see now. Where else did I hear it? Oh, yes, the masseur, the athletic club. Believe me, he was very good. He couldn't have done a better job if you rehearsed him twice as much. Here, I'll take your check. Goodbye, Mrs. Oh. What's the matter with him? Why, nothing. Nothing at all. He's a celebrated pediatrician, you know, probably an emergency call. Oh, I hope he isn't tied up for hours. Why? Why? Well, my goodness, he's giving a lecture tonight. The parents' responsibility towards the child. Naturally, I'm going to attend. Yeah. And bring your parents. Be seeing you on a belt. Well, there's an instinctive wisdom in most mothers with transcends all the signs of doctors. And therefore, I gladly leave the final judgment in your very capable hand. Thank you. I'm sure, fellow mothers, that I speak for all of us in expressing our gratitude, Dr. Brown, for his most inspiring lecture. Now, for our question and answer period, if you'll just raise your hands, ladies. Just raise your hands. No questions. I must be better than I thought. Well, in that event, I think we could just close the meeting. I'll just ask you one little question, Dr. Brown. Oh, the young lady on the aisle, Dr. Brown. Oh, my goodness. How does she get in here? I think the healthiest and best all-round babies are the result of the happiest marriages. Yes, I do. And thank you very much. Anybody else? Wait! Wait! I'm not through yet. And don't you think there'd be more of these happy marriages if some men didn't hang on to what they call their precious freedom so long that they closed their eyes to everything else? Maybe they'd let go. Maybe they'd find they might be in love with somebody. Somebody would make them a wonderful wife and mother. Young lady, frankly, I don't quite know what you're talking about. You do, too. Oh, my goodness. Well, in any case, I don't see what it has to do with the subject under discussion. It's got everything to do with it. Why, where would parents come from if every man made a lot of excuses and alibis? Just so he could go on living in a dumpy little apartment full of moose heads and stuffed fish instead of accepting his responsibilities and having a nice little home someplace? My dear young lady, this is not a symposium of advice to the love-lord. Well, you ask for questions. All right, then. Now, as far as I can analyze your difficulty, madam, you're objecting to a man's age-old privilege of selecting his own mate. According to you, all a man should do is fold his hands and wait until some female comes along and decides to marry him. That about sizes it up, doctor. And who made that crazy rule that a man can just see a girl he likes and right away ask her for a date? But a girl can't ever ask a man no matter how wonderful she thinks he is.  And who made that rule? Man, that's the rule! Bravo! Thank you. My dear young lady, there is such a thing as dignity and modesty and decorum. Oh, poo. Why, if we women waited for you men to ask us voluntarily, we wouldn't have any marriages. And there wouldn't be any babies. And you'd be out of a job. Well, this may be quite amusing, but I can assure you that your absurd viewpoint is not substantiated by the fact. Is that so? Well, I like all the women in this room who admit that they had to deliberately go out and trap their husband without the men even knowing what hit them to please stand up. There's your answer, Dr. Brown. This... This is the most blatant display of foolishness it's ever been my misfortune to witness. And if some of you ladies are examples of the modern mother, all I can say is heaven helped the coming generation. Oh, now don't be upset, doctor. Women have found it necessary to use subterfuge in their own feminine devices for centuries. We just never thought it quite a good idea to tell you men about it. Really? Well, good night. Well, I guess we told him a thing or two. Ready for the next patient, Dr. Brown? Oh, yes. Mrs. Willoughby, huh? Mrs. Ford. Well, what happened to Mrs. Willoughby? She cancelled. There have been several cancellations lately. Uh-uh. What are you getting at? Simply that you can't gow and scream at a bunch of mothers and expect them to like it. Oh, that's nonsense. I just lost my temper for a moment, just like any other human being. And I certainly didn't yowl and scream. Well, anyway, I don't think a doctor can afford to lose his patience without losing his patience. Oh, that's very bright. I've got a comic nurse. That winky wooly sins. Even a few mothers who have been here today have lectured me about the joys of wedding bliss until I'm nauseated. I'm a villain just because I have a natural, intelligent desire to choose my own wife. Well, I think Miss Sims is kind of cute. I'll say she's cute. I'm not safe anyplace. I go to lunch. I run into her. Hello, Dr. Brown! Whoa! Thank you for bumping into you. I have some courage shrimp. Oh, my goodness! I can't even buy a necktie. Can't go anywhere. Can't get a shave without a sales talk. I'm in love. She's talked to everybody I know. The only place I'm safe is in the Turkish bath. And I'm not so sure about that. Maybe we could put on beards and leave town. Well, like your other remark, that's not funny. Now, tell Mrs. Forge I'll be with her in a moment. I'm going to take care of this little situation right now. Oh, where's the telephone book? That wouldn't help. She's moved to Sycamore Lane. Here. Here's her new phone number. Mary, tell me something. How in the world did Eve ever get Adam when she had no other woman to help her with the subtle little touches? Be gentle, will you? I have a feeling she bruises easily. Yeah, I'd like to bruise. Hello? Oh, Miss Sims? This is Dr. Brown. Been a long time. Oh, has it?  Now, I was wondering if we could have dinner together this evening. Oh, anyway. Pierre, is it all right if it's all right with you? But, well, no, I don't think you ought to go to all that trouble. Oh, well, if you'd much rather, what's the address? 27 Sycamore Lane. All right, fine. I'll be there. That was Dr. Brown. He's coming here to dinner tonight. And I'd have met the $25 you owe me that you'd never even see him again. You just don't understand, man. I knew he'd go on thinking when I said at the lecture about being a bachelor and lonely and everything. He said he had something very important to tell me. He's going to propose, Julie. Oh, my goodness. I just know he's going to propose. Standards of conduct. They're more than just rules. They're a measure of yourself and your organization. They ensure fairness up and down the line. Protect the resources you need for your mission and help you know where you stand. If you have a question about ethics, fairness, or standards of conduct within the military, see your legal office.

At three of every girls should be married, starring Kerry Grant and Betsy Drake. It's a few hours before dinner time, and at 27 Sycamore Lane, Annabel Sims is preparing for the arrival of Dr. Madison Brown. Judging from her state of agitation, Annabel's going to need a doctor. Oh, Julie, you've just got to help me. You've just got to. My goodness, there's so many things I've got to buy. Turtle soup and gladiolas and steak and mushroom and tossed salad. Oh, and martinis with a small onion. A waiter at Pierre's told me you won't drink them any other way. Oh, small onions, by all means. You know there's nothing like delicious home cooked food to make a man not want to be a bachelor anymore. Home cooked food, my eye.  Why, Julie, how are you? Of course, I don't want to put any ideas in your head. Well, if you can think of any I've missed. Look, I have two hours to devote to the cause. Oh, Julie, you're just about the best friend. Oh, look, I bet you never even noticed this, did you? What is it?  See? It's for passing cocktails and things. Besides, look how beautifully you're framed. Annabelle, that's one word you should never utter, not even to yourself. Oh, you. Charming, Annabelle. Very, very charming. Cocktail, Dr. Brown. They're martinis with a small onion. That's the one way I like them. Really?  Oh, thanks. Thanks. You must have gone to a great deal of trouble, Annabelle. Trouble? Well, I've never been happier in my life. I hope you're going to like what we're having for dinner. Smells wonderful. Oh, I'm not really a good cook yet. Just clear turtle soup, steak, mayonnaise with mushroom sauce, asparagus, hollandaise, sauce, salad, and banana cream pie. Oh, and lion eggs, potatoes. Good grief. What will we have if you really could cook? Well, my mother did teach me a few little things. Seems to me your mother taught you a great many things. And one of them is what I want to talk to you about, Annabelle. Oh, dear. Oh, hello. One moment, please. It's for you. I'll turn off the radio. Me? Oh, thank you. Hello? Oh, yes, Mrs. Willoughby. Well, I'm glad we're friends again. Hmm? Oh, no, no. Give her the pink pills and a teaspoon full of the red medicine in a glass of lukewarm water every hour. Then every other hour, the blue medicine. No, in a little orange juice. Fine. Oh, I will. Goodbye. Good gracious. How can she remember all that? Just between the two of us, it doesn't matter. It's all sugar water. Why, Madison? Well, I don't usually do such things, but Mrs. Willoughby has given to excessive worry. And if I keep her occupied with the medicines, she has less time to worry about poor little Mary Nel. Oh, how very clever. You know, I know something about you that may surprise you. I don't think so, but what is it? I think you're just as crazy about baby's desire. Well, I do seem to have quite a future, don't I?  Certainly it's true. And I'd like to bet that when you were born, you took your teething ring and tried to put it on the third finger left hand of the defenseless baby boy in the next fascinette. Oh, you only say that because of my plan to marry Roger Sanford. Yeah, what about that? Madison. Why, I don't think you know anything about women. Why, a girl with the best intentions in the world can change your mind. If the right man comes along, whoever he may be, why, for all you know, I might even go back home and marry old Joe. Annabelle, marriage isn't something you can force. You've just got to wait for it to happen. You certainly do. Why anybody wants to live a lonely life all alone in a hotel room or even in an apartment for that matter is a mystery to me. Don't you think so? Well, I'll tell you what I actually do think, Annabelle. Now, I don't quite know how I'm going to go about telling you this and I want to be as much on the level with you as I know how to be. Oh, but you're hardly. Yeah, just a second, just a second. Hear me out and please don't try to twist my words around to suit yourself. I'm not in love, Annabelle, and I have no intention of getting married. And I think you're far too fine a person to persist in these silly schoolgirl maneuvers of yours. It'll only mean you'll get hurt and I don't want that to happen. Well, well, I'm sure I don't know what brought this on. So maybe what you should do, Annabelle, is to go back home and marry old Joe, maybe, huh? Old Joe? Well, thank you very much. Everyone in town knows that I'm practically engaged to Roger Sanford. He's just begging me to marry him. In a way, I don't suppose I should be having dinner with you at all. Well, then, uh, then I guess I'm the one who made it full of himself and I'm sorry.  My goodness, I didn't know what's wrong with all the men in this town. If you so much as look at one of them and try to feed him a little clear turtle soup, he thinks you ought to marry him. If you want to know what I think, I think you ought to go home. Oh, oh, now please, Annabelle, there's no reason why we can't be sensible and have dinner and be friends. There is, too. Well, as a matter of fact, I like you very much and I certainly admire your ingenuity and determination.  Well, I spent all I'd left of two weeks salary-fixing dinner for you. I'll be eating and being rich for weeks.  Only you're worse than any gopher I've ever seen. I'm sorry. You can just find that old hat you wear and get out of here. Annabelle, I'm sorry.  I don't want you anymore. I'm sorry I have even heard of you. Well, good night, Annabelle. The wrapping department said you wanted to see me, Mr. Sanford. Annabelle! Well, yes, I certainly do. Come on in. I suppose you're going to fire me. My goodness, I can't say that I blame you. Hire you, but why? I sent for you because I understand you've been doing a lot of crying lately. Oh, that Julie.  Madison Brown, huh?  Well, then he can stay a bachelor forever and ever. Now take me, I'm a cinch. I like marriage. If you and I could get better acquainted, who knows where it might lead? Well, Mr. Sanford. Roger. Well, Roger, in spite of all I've been through with men, I don't think I should be bitter, and especially with you. You've been very nice about everything, but I told you once how I felt about you and I haven't changed. Well, couldn't we have dinner together, sort of talk it over? Well... Actually, I'm far more interested in a home than a family than the Gossips imagine I am. Well, I suppose we could have dinner at my house. I guess it's your house. Well, anyway, the house I'm probably going to get kicked out of any minute now.  Oh, then you know I happen to be living... At 27 Sycamore Lane. Yes, Annabelle, I know. Oh. Shall we say eight o'clock? Yeah. Why don't we say eight o'clock? All right, then. Eight o'clock. Julie Howard, Dr. Brown, I'm a friend of Annabelle Simms and that's why I came to your apartment and you're going to listen to me if I have... All right, what's she done now, Miss Howard? You sound desperate. It's what you've done. Throwing Annabelle straight into Roger Sanford's arms, that's what. And if anything happens to her, there'll be nobody to blame but you. Well, frankly, I don't quite see that. She's a girl on the rebound. A little smooth talk from Roger Sanford and she's sunk. But she's not four years old. I don't see how I can suddenly appoint myself her guardian. Look, they're having dinner tonight and you know Roger Sanford. I said to her, you know Annabelle that he just likes to play around? And what do you think she said? She said, so what if he does? Who cares? Oh, don't you see? It's her pride. Well, I gave her what I thought was good advice to go back home and marry old Joe. But it's tonight, I'm worried about. Uh, look, did Annabelle put you up to come here to see me? Well, I just hope you're not that suspicious of the babies you take care of. Well, Annabelle's extremely creative to say the least. Dr. Brown, they're having dinner at eight. Who knows what by nine? Sorry, I've got an engagement tonight. Very well, Dr. Brown. Good evening. Uh, just a minute. You, uh, remember this. Tell her that's not a moose head there on the wall. It's an elk. Dr. Brown, and would you mind telling me what you're doing here at Annabelle? Where is she, Samford? Where is Annabelle? She's out shopping. We're going to have a little dinner party here. Alone. Oh, you are. Well, I've heard what your dates for dinner are like. Now, where is she? Oh, you don't believe me, huh? Well, uh, maybe this note will convince you. She left it on the door. Says Roger Deere. Says right there. Roger Deere, make yourself at home. I'm out shopping. We'll be back soon. Okay. I'm staying. Now, look, a gentleman usually knows when he's not wanted. And it seems to me this has been made quite clear to you. There's something I'd like to make quite clear to you. I have no romantic interest in Annabelle Sims. I don't care who she goes around with just as long as it isn't you. My dear Brown, I resent your setting yourself up as a moral arbiter of this town. You know me better than that. On the other hand, I know you pretty well. I haven't heard you say one word about your intentions. Does Annabelle know how many times you've been married? Of course. We have no secrets from each other. Annie and I. And you can take your big hand out of your dirbs. I am not moving a corpuscle until Annabelle gets back. You know, I've got news for you. I'm thinking of making Annabelle Mrs. Roger Sanford. Oh, that would be just ducky. And what would she do for diversion? Shuffle your marriage licenses? Now, that's just rude. I don't like rude. Unless you get out of here, I may be forced to throw you out. Oh, well, as a physician, I naturally dislike violence, however, since you're foolish enough to insist. Darling, darling, you're back. Oh, I'm afraid, sir, you've made a mistake. And our gather from your impetuous greeting that Annabelle isn't here. Joe, oh, Joe, it couldn't be anybody else. I'm delighted to see you, Joe. Oh, Dr. Madison Brown. Well, I'd know you anywhere, sir. And you, sir, for Miss Annabelle's description must be Mr. Sanford, the one with all the money.  Oh, oh, she didn't tell you I was in town. Oh, it's just like little old Annabelle. Well, you couldn't have come at a better time, Joe. It's Providence, that's what it is. Oh, I'm more inclined to think of Annabelle. Telephoneing me the good news. What good news? Oh, I keep forgetting she didn't tell you. Well, I'm taking Annabelle away from both of you.  Well, I swear, she didn't take my advice. Well, well, well. Congratulations, old Joe. Would somebody mind telling me who this is, old Joe? From Greenville. So? The wedding Sunday. Well, Sanford, I guess we're both out of the running. And it looks to me as if the best man won.  Oh, Annabelle and me have been sort of sweethearts ever since we were so high. Through the years, I just kept hoping and hoping. And when she telephoned me, well, Mr. Sanford, I'd tell you my little old heart nearly burst. Annabelle? Why, honey bun, you made little old Joe the happiest man in the world. We're going to have the biggest wedding ever Greenville's ever seen. Roger? And Dr. Brown? Yes. Yes. Oh, I'm sorry about dinner and everything, Roger. You've always been wonderful to me. Never pushed me around like some people I could mention. But you've had so many wives that I'm sure you can find another one. Yes, well, I must say this is the most astonishing dinner party I've ever attended. But anyway, I wish you luck. Thank you, Roger, dear. I knew you'd be fine about it. And you too, old Joe. I guess maybe the best man did with. Well, uh... I just can't imagine what you're doing here, Dr. Brown. Seems to me we've said just about everything that there is to say to each other. It was just that I didn't want the wrong thing to happen to you. She's an amazing girl, Joe. She sure amazed me, Doc. Well, goodbye, Madison. Just let me talk for a moment, then I'll go. Joe, I came here tonight because I didn't want Annabelle to make a foolish mistake. I don't want her to make one now. What's that, you say? You see, I'm the one who taught you into going back home to you. But I'm not so sure now that it would work out. Oh, I know. Just what he's hinting at, Joe. Why doesn't he come out with it? He's trying to tell you that I chased all over town after him. Just because he's so wonderful, I couldn't resist him. Well, now, this kind of puts another life in the situation. Annabelle, what's been going on here? Oh, for goodness sakes, Joe, I was in love with him. And what about it? I'm not anymore. And our train leaves in 25 minutes. Oh, now, now, honey, I waited 15 years for you. I guess I can spare another few minutes. Annabelle, I've come to a very embarrassing conclusion. What I'm trying to say is that I want you to stay. Well, well, I'm sure I just don't know. The only thing I want is for you to be happy, Annabelle. Well? Well, I'll leave the whole thing up to old Joe. He always knows what's best. Well, girl, deep down, I guess I always knew it'd never be me. He's the man for you, honey. Goodbye. Goodbye, old Joe. Take care of her, doctor.  Mighty fine. Best performance I ever gave. You know, Julie, I can use this character in my radio program. Give him a guitar, call him Old Tower or something. Why not? Yeah. Well, can I drop you off someplace? Would you give me a lift back to town? I'm hungry. Hey, come to think of it. So am I. Say, have you ever been to Bixby's? They have the most wonderful courage room. And for only 65?  When did you really know? I guess tonight when I realized you were going away with old Joe and I'd never see you again. There's something I better tell you about old Joe. Oh, I wouldn't worry too much about him. As the years go on, he'll probably find another girl. I suppose so. Or another part to play as good as old Joe. Madison. With all your thought in this Annabelle, there was one habit of mine you didn't discover. I'd like to listen to Hillbilly Radio programs and no one could ever mistake Harry Proctor's mighty fine country draw. Oh, Madison, I guess you're the most wonderful man in the whole world. Well, I don't know, but the paraphrase of the words of a very great man, never before in the field of human conflict has one girl done so much for so little. Oh, what's that? Sounds like the door buzzer. Good evening, Miss Sims. I'm Reverend Wiley. I trust I'm not late, Miss Sims. You said nine o'clock. Madison, well, I thought just in case. That's amazing. Now, if you're planning for a live wedding. Thank you for joining me for another production of the Radio Theater. This is Frank Brezee saying good night to you from Hollywood.

Researchers at Checkpoint discovered a vulnerability in WhatsApp that would let an attacker crash the app for members of a particular group chat. So users would then have to delete and reinstall WhatsApp to prevent the crashing unless they went back into that same group chat and then start the whole process over again. The attack could have been used to lock people out of a group chat and stop them from being able to view its contents. The attacker would use a pen test tool of some sort to decrypt secret parameters that would let the attacker replace phone numbers of group members with non-digit characters. So when WhatsApp saw these non-numerals, these non-numbers in the phone number, it would throw an error and crash the group chat. So all you had to do was send a message from the altered number and that would do it. Checkpoint disclosed the bug in August through WhatsApp's bug bounding program. WhatsApp passed the issue in September. Microsoft, you know them, opened the Chromium-based Edge add-on store and announced the new browser which general availability January 15th and come bundled with Windows 10 releases soon after. However, Edge will be available on its own from Windows Update and it will not be tied to the Windows OS releases. Edge will feature updates on a six-week cycle and security and compatibility updates as needed. Your menu pins, titles, shortcuts, those kind of things will migrate from legacy Edge to the new Edge and add-ons will too if they are available for the new Edge add-on store. There will also be an Edge block option for businesses that don't necessarily want to install the new Chromium-based one right away. Wallstreet Journal reports over the weekend that Amazon informed third-party sellers on the site that it wouldn't let them use FedEx ground or home delivery services for prime orders. So this is, I'm using Amazon to sell my stuff. Amazon's like, great, you can't use FedEx or home delivery to deliver that. The messaging added the ban would stay until the delivery performance of these shipping methods improves. FedEx ended its domestic contract with Amazon in August due in part to Amazon's in-house shipping services, which I imagine they would prefer that these third-party sellers use instead. FedEx delivery for non-prime orders and FedEx Express for prime orders are still allowed. So you have to use FedEx Express, not regular FedEx. All right, let's talk a little more about that new Apple Mac Pro, Rich. Yeah, so iFix, they did something interesting. They tore something down and that new thing being the Apple. Yeah, it's a weird thing they do, but they did their usual treatment and they did the Apple Mac Pro and the team found that overall the machine has a high level of disassembly ease and basic repairs being done with standard or no tools at all. There's a lot of interesting thought going in there as like a PC building enthusiast. It was actually really interesting to see. Main complaints are that the SSD modules, they're really easy to take out. They're basically like a standard M2 style SSD, but they're tied to the system's T2 security chip making use replacement a little more complicated and replacement parts not covered by the company's limited repair policy could be very expensive, but you can still use things like replace the RAM yourself or add in like a PCIe SSD or NVMe drive or something like that. So overall, I thought it was an interesting move coming from the trash can Mac kind of a return and not just in the look of the cheese grater Mac kind of in the spirit of that as well. It's the most repairable Apple product in recent memory according to iFixit and that's saying something because usually Apple fares very poorly on these iFixit teardowns because everything's glued together and they use non-standard and the cry from the populace is generally see Apple doesn't want you to repair things. They just want you to buy new stuff. Now granted the Apple Mac Pro is so expensive. Maybe even Apple would take pity on you, but I don't think it's about pity. I think it's about customers. They don't sell their normal stuff for people who are going to try to repair it for the most part. Yes, there's you and me and a few of us out there who would want to repair things and add our own RAM, but that's not the massive populace anymore for the Mac and the iPhone, etc. Whereas the Mac Pro is a professional item. It's meant to be sold to somebody who would be likely to want to repair things themselves, especially companies. Instagram is expanding its fact-checking tests in the U.S. to work with 45 third-party organizations. Material determined to be false will be hidden from the explore and hashtag pages, as well as be covered with a warning interstitial. You'll have to click through that if you actually want to see what's behind it. Copies of that image that show up elsewhere on Instagram and even on Facebook will apply that same warning. Instagram will not, however, fact-check content, including ads from political candidates. Yeah, not too surprising to see obviously the kind of political exception being carved out there, but I highly encourage everybody to take a look. We have the link to the TechCrunch story here, but take a look at the screenshots of it. I actually really think it's interesting that they're taking what appears to be an Instagram-native way of putting up this kind of warning where there's a full screen over the image. It's not just a disclaimer at the bottom of a post, so you can't see the image first. If there's some sort of misinformation there, that's not the first impression you get. The first impression you get is, hey, Instagram wants to tell me there's something weird with this, and I need to consciously click through or see why they're saying there's an issue with this, a fact-checking issue with this. I think that's a really smart approach to doing that, given the somewhat problematic exceptions that could be created with their policies. Yeah, Instagram probably not as much of a hotbed for clicking through and reading things, so they can take a different tactic than Facebook can, but I still prefer the way they're doing it with the interstitial totally blocking you from seeing something. You can't really accidentally scan this information and internalize it and not remember where you got it from, unless you make some effort. That's the point, is to make people realize, well, wait a minute, why is that interstitial there? Oh, it's because I shouldn't believe this. Some people are going to go ahead and blow through that anyway, and no kind of warning would help that kind of person anyway, I don't think. The one thing I'll say is, I've seen that Facebook is kind of saying, or I've seen the argument floated out there that having that database of Instagram content and Facebook content is an argument why their scale is better to have those two together in this larger conversation, possibly breaking them up, but I don't see any reason why they can also share that information with Twitter, with Pinterest, with other social networks, and just create a public database for fact-check images and that kind of stuff, especially for images, where that's fairly simple to do. There are some movements to do that kind of sharing more often. It'll be interesting to see if this turns into something like that. In the meantime, though, I guess the other question would be, why not just delete it? And the idea is, there are occasions where it's important to see what's being out there, so people can being said wrong out there, so people can see who's doing it, who's spreading it. And also, sometimes there are mistakes, and this is kind of a little bit of a backstop against that as well. In other Facebook news, executives have told Axios, the company is spending six figures, which I'm told is a lot of money, on a free e-course covering deepfakes and manipulated media for newsrooms called Identifying and Tracking Manipulated Media. Writers Hazel Baker, the head of user-generated content news gathering, developed the course material. It's about a 45-minute course from what Axios was reporting. Facebook is funding the international expansion as part of the company's Facebook journalism project. The course is available online only, and Axios says, like I said, it takes about 45 minutes. Reuters and Facebook plant on co-hosting events and panels around the course in 2020. So, you know, I was thinking about this earlier, Tom, and one, six figures on a 45-minute course, okay, you know, they seem to be going to the right places to develop it. It seems to be coming from, and I'm interested in what you think the intention of this. Is this a Facebook getting some positive press for doing this, or is this them trying to head off, you know, trying to hit stuff on upstream of saying, okay, let's identify this deepfake stuff in the newsroom so it's not being shared on Facebook? Yes. They definitely want us to go, wow, good job, Facebook, for funding the fight against manipulated media. But it also does come back to help them if newsrooms are better at this because then it causes fewer problems and they take less heat. For instance, when they left up the manipulated Pelosi video, which showed the speaker of the House in the United States speaking slowly as if she were drunk, and it turned out it wasn't a fake, it was just slowed down. It was a regular video slowed down. That's the kind of thing that Facebook wants to take less heat for and have people avoid. This isn't about deepfakes as much as it is about out-of-context media, though. If you look at the details on this course, deepfakes is a part of it, but most people are not going to be fooled by deepfakes in the future because we'll know deepfakes are possible and we see something outrageous. We'll question it. What you might get fooled by, even if you're a journalist, is a piece of video that's perfectly legitimate and checks out as real but is presented in a context that's giving you wrong information about why it happened or where it happened or what the outcome of it was. I think that's what's important from this Reuters course and that's the kind of thing that Facebook also benefits from having people know about. Yeah, absolutely. In a filing with the SEC Monday, Netflix broke down its subscriber numbers by region for the first time. Usually we get the U.S. number and the everybody else number. Well, here are the breakdowns. The Asia-Pacific region is Netflix's fastest growing region, 153 percent over the past two years for a Q3 total of 14.49 million subscribers. Europe in the Middle East revenue rose 105 percent in two years with Q3 subscribers at 47.4 million. Latin American revenue rose 71 percent, 29.4 million subs, and U.S. and Canada, which are put together. So Mexico is with Latin America and the rest of Central and South America, U.S. and Canada have their own category here. U.S. and Canada revenue rose 57 percent over the past two years with a Q3 total of 67.1 million subs. Average revenue per user is the highest in U.S. and Canada. They have the highest prices, $13.08 for Q3, followed by Europe in the Middle East at $10.40, Asia-Pacific at $9.29, and Latin America has the lowest average revenue per user at $8.63. Yeah, what's interesting to me about these numbers is the importance, like you said, of that Asia-Pacific region, specifically what Netflix is doing in India I think is really interesting. We had a report or a story, I guess, last week on daily tech headlines that Netflix is planning to invest a little less than $500 million in original content over the next two years in India. It's also one of their, you know, as we're seeing here that region in general is one of the biggest growth markets, and they're doing so despite being one of the highest priced options in that area. And I think what's interesting about that is not just that they're growing there, but that growth is actually quite valuable to them. I was really surprised to see these ARPU numbers for Asia-Pacific, Latin America, you know, areas that would generally be considered in a lot of other tech situations. If you look at something like Facebook where the ARPU for a North American user was like $34 and then the rest of the world averages like $2 or something like that, there's a huge disparity. Now, this is a paid service, so there is a little bit of a difference there, but the fact is that growth is almost just as valuable as growing in any other place. And so I think it's clearly they're investing in India in a smart strategy for them. Yeah, and these regions are standard, so it's not unusual for them to group this, but certainly your prices in the Middle East aren't going to be the same as your prices in the UK, but they're both in Europe and the Middle East. Your prices in India, Indonesia, Japan and Korea are going to be different, but they're all Asia-Pacific. That said, it's not a shock to me either that Asia-Pacific is a fast growing region. Netflix has been very aggressive in India, like you said, in marketing and adding content. They get the top shows in Korea on Netflix worldwide. They're not domestically in Korea, but those shows are still popular in other places around Asia and the Asia-Pacific region. So yeah, I think people tend to think of Netflix only inside the US, and Netflix has already shifted its attention not to abandoning the US by any stretch, but growing their international market to stay ahead of these domestic competitors like HBO Max, Disney Plus, etc. All right, well let's take this conversation to a higher plane, Tom. I'm talking, of course, about the cloud. The information reports that according to sources, in early 2018, then-alphabet CEO Larry Page, CFO Ruth Porfit and then Google CEO Sundar Pachai debated whether Google should exit the public cloud market entirely. They ultimately decided to invest $20 billion in capital expenditures on cloud over the next five years, with the goal of being either the number one or number two public cloud provider by 2023. Let's get you up to speed, kind of where Google Cloud fell in that time in early 2018. Gardner estimated that at that point, Google trailed Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure in the US and Alibaba Cloud internationally. Alphabet bundles GCP or Google Cloud Platform revenue in other revenues, so it's kind of hard to get an exact feel for what exactly they're earning in that space, but in July of this year they announced that their cloud business had generated $8 billion annually. For comparison, Amazon Web Services generated $8.38 billion in revenue in Q2, so that's a quarter of a year, and had 37% growth on that. While Microsoft reported Azure grew 64%, they don't exactly break out their numbers either, but analysts had estimated that in that quarter they generated about $4.1 billion in revenue in that quarter. So we've talked about a lot of financials, Tom. Let me make this a little bit more real to you. The issue is, and I follow the enterprise and the cloud market fairly closely, the issue is, is that Google does a really good job when it comes to public cloud for machine learning, right? They have their tensor processing units that you can kind of rent on an on-demand basis. They have established that niche and they're kind of well known in that space. The problem is, is that Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure both have kind of Amazon Web Services is 800 pound gorilla in the room. They've been around probably the longest, they're the most well established, they're obviously the biggest and they're making the most money. Microsoft and AWS both have key partnerships now with VMware, which makes them incredibly easy now for existing businesses to move operations to there. So I like to think of this kind of race and the issue that Google is going to have in like a Netflix HBO, right? Where that conversation was a long time, which can HBO become Netflix faster than Netflix can become HBO, right? Right now, Google cloud is in that highly specific HBO kind of role, right? They do a couple of things really well, but to expand out, it's a lot harder for them than for AWS, the Netflix in the scenario to start working into the niches that make GCP kind of popular in those niches, right? They can start cornering these very specific use cases. They're already like their infrastructure spend is just unbelievable, unbelievably less.  I'm very skeptical that 2023, they'll be anywhere close to one or two. Yeah, and the other shoe to drop here is if they don't become the number one or two cloud provider by 2023, the unspoken assumption is they'll get out of the business like Larry Page wanted them to in 2018, even though Larry's not there anymore. Sundar wants to give it another shot and Ruth Porat agreed. It's easy to look at this and say, gee, Google shouldn't they have been dominating this business? What's wrong with them? Because they start with the same initial conditions as Amazon. We've got all this power we built for one thing, Amazon's case retail, Google's case search. Why don't we turn it into a service? Amazon executed on that very well. Google hasn't. And now they're playing catch up, like you said, and it's not as easy as saying we've got all the data centers. Why don't we just turn on the cloud? You need expertise. You need people who know how to make that work well, how to provide the features people want, how to provide the support that keeps it working well, how to market it and sell it and convince people to buy your product, even if it is the best product. And that's something Google just hasn't been that good at up until now. The ultimate rub is that thing that's driving a lot of cloud growth is Kubernetes, a container orchestrator, which is a Google open source project. Yeah. And if you think about it, that's no different than the other Google stuff where they create great things. Sometimes they catch on like Gmail and dominate. Sometimes they are like, wow, that was a really great thing. I wonder why Google wasn't able to make a business out of that particular great thing. Hey, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines in about five minutes, be sure to subscribe to DailyTechHeadlines.com, often hosted by Rich Straffalina. All right. It is getting close to the holidays. And we only have a few more live shows of the year. If you notice Sarah Lane's out today, that's because she's off doing some other work. She'll be back tomorrow, but then tomorrow will be my last day on a live show. And then Sarah and Roger will be doing a show with Justin Robby Young on Thursday. Rich will be back on Friday with Shannon Morrison Amos.  So we thought we'd talk about some holiday gift wish lists, both some good last minute ideas for people, as well as maybe just some dreamy ideas that you could throw out to the universe and maybe somebody will get it for you. This idea was actually started by Patrick Beja, who was supposed to be on today's show, but unfortunately couldn't be on with this. He sent in his pick, the Nintendo Switch. The other consoles are going to get new versions next year and those will be backwards compatible with the versions you could buy now, says Patrick. So it's probably worth waiting for those. And note that the current PlayStation and Xbox are sure to get even more discounted when the next generation arrives. The Switch, on the other hand, has a lot going for it now. On top of the many really fun and family friendly Nintendo games, it has popular free to play games like Fortnite, as well as almost every indie PC game out there and even some of the AAA releases too. The portable aspect is a benefit you can't get anywhere else. Besides, most of us own a PC, so we often already have access to the bigger games that are not available on Nintendo's console. That sounds like a good mix. Then the Switch is for you. What do you think? I think it's only a couple of hundred bucks too, I say only. If that's your price range, then that might be a good affordable pick, affordable compared to buying a more expensive console or even a PC. Yeah, the timing seems just about right. As a Switch owner, it's an incredibly versatile device. You can even watch your YouTube videos on it. It makes a lot of sense and I could definitely see it filling a lot of gaming needs. Like you said, get those great Nintendo's exclusives. Roger, you had a few gift ideas that you wanted to pass along as well. What do you got? Earlier this year, I got into a bit of a fender bender, which totaled the car I was driving. One of the must-have gift items that I'm gifting myself is a dash cam. A dash cam for most people seems like one of those YouTube videos that you watch endlessly at your amusement, whether it's a Russian driver or some guy in Florida or something closer home, but they are valuable tools when it comes to insurance. They often can help prove who's at fault no matter the circumstances of your accident. Wirecutter actually recommends the NextBase 522GW dash cam. Generally, I would say rule of thumb is have something that offers a really good quality image, because oftentimes you're going to need to be showing this to your insurance company. They need to be able to know what they're looking at. Good recording time and something that has the ability to either accept or comes with a second camera that goes in the back window so you can see if someone slammed into the back of you. The next thing is, if you have kids like I do, you will want to seriously consider a Disney plus subscription either by itself or in the bundle with Hulu ESPN. You gift those, or in this case, I will gift it to my wife. So when my kids come screaming into the room, I can placate them with either a Disney movie or a Marvel movie or a Star Wars movie or some other bit of childhood that they managed to claim over the years. If you're a big gamer and you have an Xbox or a gaming PC, consider getting an Xbox Game Pass. They offer both the Ultimate Pass which covers Xbox and PC games. They offer a beta version of the PC for about five bucks, which allows you to play PC games and, of course, watch the show. And again, something you can gift and doesn't have to be buying it yourself. Yes, something you can definitely gift. All these you can gift out, whether it's family, friends, or someone you don't like. Perfect gift.  And it should be the part of most people's lives. And if you find that most people don't like the music that you listen to, get headphones. Go to headphone.headfi.org. It's H-E-A-D-F-I.org. And it is a user-based enthusiast group, and they have excellent recommendations both for beginner, high-end headphones, but also things like headphone amps, types of digital music players that you find work with your phone. In fact, one of the digital music or audio interfaces I have work with my Android phone gives you a much better output than what you would normally get with your smartphone. And over the years, both Patrick, Norton, and I have gone to the site to call a number of picks, including the one that I currently use, which is the Atomotic, which is like an in-ear canal one. So that's head-fi.org. It's not where you go to buy, it's where you go to get recommendations. Now, if you're also like me and you're sitting on your computer a lot and you just want some nice to listen to, consider getting some nice bookshelf speakers combined with a class T, or basically a digital class D amplifier. Those are very small amps, bookshelf speakers great on your desk, although maybe not the best for near field listening. They do goo a very good job of filling a room with music. And oftentimes I use it to kind of basically put my youngest to sleep with a variety of new-age lullabies as well as punk rock. All right. Those are good last-minute gifts and kind of a range of prices. Rich, do you have anything to add to that? Yeah, I'm a big advocate for when you're gifting tech, you're giving that to family of varying technical capacities, go for boring. Don't go for exciting. Exciting is you're giving them tech support. So just give them tech support. That's the best present you can really give. Just write them up a coupon. But in practical terms, that's kind of, I'll help you set up a computer, it's kind of a boring thing. But things like the subscription to a password manager, whether you're talking about one password or last pass, those are two that personally use. I have enjoyed using both of those for varying capacities. I think last pass is maybe is a little more user friendly for first time. But that's like so invaluable when you're talking with family and every single time they're asking you for help, oh, what do I use? Or what's my password for this? I don't know. It's my high school, my dog, and my address, like numbers. You're just asking for trouble. Things like an external hard drive. Again, super boring. But when you ask someone, how are you backing up your hard drive? The question is, oh, you do that? Show them how to do that. Show them how to use Time Machine, show them how to use the Windows utility to back up your PC, or get them to something like Backblaze, which is an incredibly versatile service. And then routers. The router that comes with your ISP is generally not the best. Sometimes it's good, depends on your ISP. But they have all sorts of Wi-Fi extenders and it's a nightmare going on where they're, oh, connect to this network if you're in the kitchen. But over here, get them a mesh router, some of the Netgear or B routers are fairly affordable for a pretty comprehensive mesh system. It's 802.11 AC stuff.  I cannot stress this enough. Or upgrade the RAM in the computer. I agree with all of these. And in fact, I'll throw in a couple of truly last minute. Like all you have is an airport vending machine and you're on your way to the holiday party and you want to get somebody something technology related. SD cards, unless you know they can't use them for some reason. But if it's somebody who has an SD card slot or has a phone that uses SD cards, people will always appreciate a new higher capacity SD card. It's a stocking stuff for Style Gift, certainly. But the other thing that I think a lot of people don't realize they might need is an extra charging cable, especially if you travel a lot. Losing charging cables or having them getting frayed and worrying about like, oh, is this still going to be lasting? Make sure you get them the right one. Is it USB-C? Is it USB-A? Is it lightning? But yeah, that's another one that's kind of that thoughtful, unexpected gift that maybe nobody would ask for. And then Amos wanted to throw in the Amazon Echo Dot. Amos says it's cheap, essential for large families, perfect for starting into smart home space. So that's another one you can think about. And those are pretty affordable as well.

All right, let's check out the mailbag. We got Matt Z writing in on the emails from last week about Chase, who wanted to watch a projector television in bed. Matt said, I'm often a day or two behind and listening, so I hope this is still relevant. Years ago in my first department after college, I designed a system so that I could watch TV while laying in bed on my back. It involved mounting the TV on a swivel mount that would let me flip it upside down. It also involved me mounting a mirror at a 45-ish degree angle above the head of my bed so that when laying down, it would reflect the TV's image as well as flip it right side up. It's pretty low tech, but effective. And he even said it's a rough sketch of the setup. Thank you so much, Matt Z. This is probably not the solution Chase was looking for, but it may be the solution he needs. That's some old-school overhead projector tech. I really like that.

The most important thing to understand is how passive infrared motion detectors work. The motion is looking to see motion and the heat signature matching a human being. To avoid false alarms, it is important to avoid potential false alarm triggers like pointing the motion at windows, televisions, mirrors, or reflective countertops. Also, avoid fireplaces or space heaters. Windows are especially troublesome because they can be heated by the sun and motion of objects show through. You should also avoid aiming the motion detector at areas where there is a heat duck or air return vent. Even if these areas are not directly in the view of the motion detector, they heat or cool an area quickly and cause motion from air flow. Vents or air returns can cause curtains, plants, balloons, or other items to move, which combined with the temperature change may trigger a false alarm. If you have pets, there are a couple more considerations to identify. Even the best pet owner will agree that sometimes our furry friends get up into surfaces where they should not. Avoid mounting your motion detector within a 6 foot arc of any furniture like a table, chair, couch, or other surface where the pet can jump up to a point higher than the floor. Similar to furniture, avoid pointing the motion detector at stairs because a dog that appears as a dog on the floor can look more like a human to the motion detector when climbing the stairs. The second sensitivity setting makes the motion detector more or less sensitive. In the same way you adjusted the pet immunity setting, simply remove the jumper by gently pulling away. Finally, it is important to install motion detectors in areas that can remain free of insects. Although the motion is sealed to prevent insects from getting into the sensor, insects crawling across the front of the motion detector can trigger a false alarm. Once you've selected a site to mount the motion detector, grab a ladder or multi-step tool that will allow you to mount the motion detector at 7.5 feet from the floor. Using a small screwdriver, remove the set screw on the bottom of the motion detector, separate the front and back of the motion detector, and install the included batteries into the motion detector. The 2GIG motion detector can be mounted using the plastic mounting bracket or the back plate can be mounted directly to a surface. First, drill a pilot hole through the top center of the back plate if you are using the mounting bracket. There is a depression known as the mount bracket guide in the plastic to mark where you should drill. Use the provided screw to connect the back plate to the plastic mounting bracket. Next, choose between the wall mount bracket for mounting on a flat wall or the corner mount bracket for mounting in the corner of a room. Remember, the optimal mounting height of the motion detector is 7.5 feet from the floor. After selecting the mounting bracket, use the bracket as a guide to mark holes with a pencil for drilling and drill two pilot holes. Mount the mounting bracket with the provided screws into the holes that were drilled in the prior first step with the post on the outside of the mount facing up. The mounting bracket has an adjustment screw, which when loosened, allows you to adjust the tilt of the sensor using the raised guide on the bracket's joint. Refer to Figure 6 in the installation manual to determine the best mounting angle for your installation. When you have determined the proper angle, make sure to tighten the set screw. The mounting bracket is made to slide directly onto the vertical post of the mount. The back plate of the motion detector can be mounted directly to a flat wall or corner without installing the mounting bracket. Note, this method eliminates some of the fine adjustments that can be made when using plastic mounting bracket. There is a depression known as the wall mounting guide in the plastic to mark where you should drill. Use a pencil through the pilot hole in the back plate to mark the proper mounting height of the motion detector, which should be 7.5 feet from the floor. Drill a pilot hole on the pencil mark you made and then fasten the back plate to the wall using the provided screw. If you are mounting without the mounting bracket in the corner of the room, drill two pilot holes on either the right or the left side of the back plate. There are depressions known as the corner mounting guides in the plastic to mark where you should drill. Choose the holes that will help the motion detector face the direction to maximize coverage area. Secure the back plate to the wall using the provided screws. With the rely panel in programming mode, place the cover of the motion detector onto the back plate, but do not fasten the set screw. Pull the motion away from the back plate and you should hear the voice on the rely panel call out the name you have given for the motion detector. If you hear the correct name, replace the motion onto the back plate and fasten the set screw. Please note that your rely panel will not be sending any alarm signals until you complete the setup process. With the set screw facing down toward the floor, point the motion detector to ensure the greatest area of coverage and slide the mounting bracket over the post on the mount or onto the mounted back plate if you mounted it directly to the wall.
