e's going to quite make it long enough for that, but I hope so. And one way to ensure that he does is to healthy keep up on his veterinarian visits and don't be feeding him booze and fricking chocolate. Um, yeah, it's, uh, it's really on sale, I guess. It won't show the price until you put it in your cart. Got it for $49 from the regular 59 from GameStop. Okay. Mr, would you please help my pony?  He coughed up snot in the driveway and I think his lungs are effed up. I don't, I don't know what to do about that, man.  Um, the horseback song is fitting for Loki. Oh my God. Um, do Marvel Ultimate Alliance, what, what does she want to say to that? Most likely, yeah, dude, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 is really good. To listen to Darcy's Donkey by Gaelic Storm. I feel like we need to hit 600. Don't worry, guys. I got it. See, I'm not going to sit here and be like, let me get, can we get to 600? Can someone super share 10 dollars? No, no, no. I can't believe I just typed that out. I know people in real life that say this, just wait. I know people in real life that will say four to the gram. And I know they mean Instagram, right? I'm not that out of the young people's game that I don't realize when they mention gram, they mean Instagram, but it's like, I guess I just don't get the point of Instagram. I mean, it's a quick way to share some images with a little bit of text. But like, you could do that on Facebook and Twitter and every, literally everything else. I don't, I've just never understood that. We have an Instagram. It's Nintendo underscore prime. We advertise it. But I don't, I just don't understand what the point of it is. So anyways, for the gram, it could be for the grammy. Yeah, no, no, no, I know the young, the young people say for the gram for Instagram.   How much is a gram? I mean, you want to talk about actual measurement. Anyways, that got us to $600 and 96. A good clean six hundred. What's it right here? I should definitely drop another bomb. What kind of bombs are you dropping? Are you just like, it's not even tax rich. Turn time. Like I understand when like February, March, April comes around and like we have some people dropping a bunch of big dough knows because they just got like a massive tax return. Uh, and then I like screw it. Who cares if I throw a few hundred bucks at somebody.  What, dude, what are you rolling in over there?   People think I'm, I'm rich because of my giveaways. Not really. The channel just covered it. Am I muted? No, I might be. Um. Let's see here. Uh, speaking of Instagram, someone fired up a fake account of me and started messaging my friends today.  Yeah. That happened to Eric's mom.  It's weird. Um, I basically refuse to get Insta. I don't care to share pictures. I mean, I share a few on Facebook. Well, like I'm faced with mostly friends of family. There's a few people from Nintendo Prime and a couple of other places on Princess, but if Bert manages to do the countdown, then nothing happens. Um, they have chills preparing the, uh, the, the, I, I, that's one of my favorite, um, emojis. So one of them is emotion emoji. One of them. I don't know which one is the emotion. Oh, I got off quick. Yeah. For those that don't know, I have a little cold. It's not COVID been tested. Um, not strept over or anything. It's, it's a cold. It's been kind of bouncing around our house the last couple of weeks. And we've all been tested. So we've had a little, it's that time of the year. But how long has it been since I've walked like an Egyptian? Um, 49, 99, Birdman again. He's just trying to put this so out of reach for me. I don't do taxes, baby. I mean, yeah, this isn't taxing. Whoop, whoop, praise the casino. Oh, do you have a big win at the casino? We go once in a while.  I'd rather bring like $500 and play like $1.50, $2.50. Like if I'm going to go, I want to win a decent amount. Now you might lose a decent amount. But it's kind of like, I don't really believe in going and trying to, if you want to the casino, man, you make a lot of money. That's cool. Um, but $50, I guess we'll bust out something more than a beer. I'll do a Malibu. I'm not going to grab the end of this. I'll save this for another stream. The end of the Canon Blast, just because, you know, it needs to be properly appreciated. And since I'm buzzing right now, I'm not so sure the Canon Blast would be properly appreciated for the gasoline taste. It really is. I'm not to the point I can't taste the booze, but I'm to the point that I might not complain as much. And I feel like I need to save that for a real complaint. Uh, but thank you, uh, Berman. I do appreciate it. And now we're at $650.95, which I mean, I'm not actually an ad about that. That's insane. I can't believe it's all started with cookies. Right. And then I'm like, oh, anyone of those $50 can get cookies. And we had three people there and there hasn't been like, and no one else has tried to get up there. Which is fine. I owe three people. Well, Cody doesn't want the cookies. So I owe two people cookies right now. And that's a 712 and Birdman and Birdman. I also owe a shirt. As I said, make sure you guys email me to get that. I will literally like order everything tomorrow. But, yep, I go like once or twice a year and spend less than $10 lost it all.  But yeah, because I like to be a bit, a bit more of a, I wouldn't say higher roller, but I like a high roller. But I bet a bit higher because if I'm going to go, I'd like to go with 500 and walk out with stuff. I'd like to double up, which when I go without Yulia, I probably double up one out of every four times I go, which means I'm still losing, by the way. But if I, if Yulia comes with, then it's probably one out of every 20 times we go, because I have a little math trick I do with the machines. I've noticed that I tend to have a higher percentage doubling my money if I don't just sit at one machine. If I actually, if I cut myself off, it's like 50 bucks a machine and I bounce around, I have a much higher chance of hitting games or hitting jackpots, even minis or minors or whatever and doubling my money up.  Oh, it's going to pay. It's going to pay. I'm like, no, the percentage doesn't change. It doesn't matter how many times you spend it, the percentage doesn't change. Now, the rate of when the machine is ready to hit can change on a jackpot, but or gain, right? Like some machines will have games hit every so often, but it's like, but if you bounce around to more machines that have been played by more people, there's a much higher chance of hitting it. That's been my experience, but there's not really a, if you're, if you're playing at a casino and you're, and you're doing slot machines, I mean, it's all luck anyway, you know, the best, the best odd you have are Blackjack, poker, and what poker you're playing is other people. Blackjack is a really high odd. If you know what you're doing, um, craps can be decent odds as well. Better than, um, better than, uh, if you, if you really want to make money at the casino, you put the card, like that, that's the real money. And technically, if you're at an unlimited roulette table, you can eventually always come ahead if it's unlimited. The problem is the roulette tables usually have limits.  But they, the casinos figured that out a long time ago, so they put limits on the roulette table that eventually if your luck is bad, you won't win your money back. You'll lose a lot. Um, so, yeah, you have to be, there are some, uh, roulette tables in Vegas that are still unlimited. So as long as you have a big enough bank roll, you can always come ahead on roulette, but again, you got to have a really big, yeah, table games. Um, those are, those are always the best odds. I always encourage people to get really good at table games. Now, blackjack, you can cheat. That's why I say it's the best if you know how card comes in, then you have to do it without getting caught, which isn't that hard to do, but not every table you sit at is going to be in your favorite, right? So, um, who would be the weirdest of fewer characters? I mean, tingles, obviously, usually at the top of the charts for the weirdest, most of the fewer, and tingles a weird guy, right? I feel like tingles like my soul. I don't dress in tights and, you know, think I'm a fairy, but he never really let go of his childhood. So, ah, so tingles pretty weird. Um, there's a lot of weirdos. Weirdos in Twilight Princess. There's weirdos in a lot of the game. Nothing wrong being weird, though, you know? So tingles probably like the most universal weird characters, we'll just think of tingles. But there's a lot of them out there. There's some really strange characters. Like, game over, Jesse, you're here. Like, what's your most obscure, strange character in Zelda? You know? I know you know as much, if not more, about Zelda than I do, so. What do you got? Later, dead man walking. Have a good night, man. Ah, Adam Butters has more whiskey. Pour a shot! Adam, pour a shot. I'm about to do a shot of rum here. Let's go. Pour a shot. Shot for shot, baby. Um, tingle isn't weird. He is a god. Oh my. I mean, he's really good in Hyrule Warriors. Tingle is really good in Hyrule Warriors. Um, has Jesse been here the whole time? Probably not. He probably did go up for a little bit. I know he has a kid. Is his own YouTube channel. I don't know what else, you know, he's got other family stuff and things going on.  Um, and then my sister's birthdays this week as well. And there's like a family gathering where we all go to a movie together. How are you up? Cause I'm still streaming. The answer to your question, Seahawks24 rule is I'm awake. So you're awake. Actually, probably I'm streaming. So you're awake. Cause I'll probably still be awake for another 90 minutes. I'm Tabitha, the beetle in the silent desert. Adam got to pour it up here. Let's go. All right, Adam, here we go. I have my poured up for a little bit. Off that, uh, off that fitty. Off that fitty from Birdman. Cheers, man. Cheers, Adam. And thank you, Birdman.  I could match your doughnuts, but I still want to have a fiance in the morning. You don't want to have a fiance in the morning. Drink, mate. That's not a command that I appreciate. I can't let this sit at six, six, five.  It's like, no, we're, we're, we're at the point that we just can't let it sit at six. You're swishing it. Are you really swishing the whiskey around? Damn, man. I couldn't swish it. I just throw it right down the trap.  Ah, damn, I love that single one. Again, I got some more emojis to add. Probably get them added tomorrow. Let's just even that up. Let's just even that up. Just even it up there. Getting to that clean 700. Cheers, Adam. Drank, wake up. You're going to sleep good tonight, man. I ain't going to sleep now until at least down four bottles of water. I got to get up with the kids. Hit won't stop. That's probably, um, I think that's probably the last super chat. Unless Birdman, it feels it's a challenge. That's probably the last one, especially the last big one. Am I trying, am I, are you legit trying me? I mean, I saw 650 and I was like, we got to get that to seven. Are we trying to set a record tonight? I mean, we're not going to. That's, that's 300 more. That's a lot. The more that I say it was 952, 953. One of those two numbers is our record on super chats. That's a lot. That's 200 and, you know, 52, $253 more than we've done now. A record that we set to an E3 when we had 20,000 people watching. Mine would be the dancing guy in Majora's Mask. I'll give that to you. I'll give that to you. You can also argue the happy mass salesman is really just a nose thing. That it feels like he's. Um, it's going to go on forever now. It'll end before midnight, which is in 20 minutes. It'll end before then. It just happens. My house is clean. Sorry, I'm just, I'm just texting. Um, he is outside in Termina field, not close to the beat, but in the snowy ice cold region with his shirt off. And what is he doing?  Um, yeah, man, he's pretty. Um, am I challenging you? Did you just say that again? Like you said, are you trying bird man? I mean, I did mention what it takes to get the record. Bird, that's a lot of money, man.  Am I challenging you to set the record? You don't have to set the record. You're fine. If that's what, if that's the challenge you think, think where it's like $253 or whatever to set the record, you don't have to do that bird. I'm not trying to challenge you to that. You've already given a lot, man.  It was just never, like imagining $1,000 in a night is insane, man. Like I literally, I can't even think, and I know for people like Dr. Disrespect or even some of the big foot streamers out there, like $1,000 in the stream, that's nothing. They're making multiple thousand. Well, like I'm a 76,000 YouTube channel that has 56 people watching me live right now and we're talking about a $700 plus stream. Like this is the kind of stream that we got during E3 when we had a hell of a lot more viewers. Lot of the money tonight came from what, four of us? Like myself, Veneta 712, you and Cody.   I already appreciate everything you've done. You can stop, you're good. I give you permission to stop. I won't stop you if you want to go more. And I give you permission to stop. We don't have to set the record tonight. I don't know when we'll set the record. It could be a while till we set the record. Maybe next year's E3. We don't have to set the record tonight. We're still a lot of money away from the record. $250 plus is still a lot of money away from the record. That's insane to even think about. It's a bird van? We're cool. We're cool. I got five on it. Fly Eagles Fly. We've got some Eagle fans in the chat. I play as the Eagles in one of my fans. Oh, not fans of the Eagles. One of my Madden, I'm the Eagles. Although I'm not starting, I'm not starting her. Feel kind of bad about it because maybe I, well, I mean, I'm seven and seven. It's about to be eight and seven because I'm pretty sure I'm going to win. But I don't think I'm going to make it to playoffs though, even if I finish out 10 and seven. Let me see here. I got five. I don't know how. My wish has been, I mean, my wish is for another car. We have a 2006 Malibu sitting in my garage with only 80,000 miles on it with the engine pumped out. It's going to be like three and a half grand to get a new engine in it. So we've been debating between like replacing the engine or just buying a new car, right? Because we can scrap metal and get a few hundred out of it. So it sucks, dude, because that car was like, that was supposed to be our second car. And it literally conked out like two months after we got it. Like what bad luck is that a car with 80,000 miles on it conks out. The engine dies at 80k. Like that is like ridiculous, right? You spend, you know, eight grand on a car and it conks out in two months.  And we had maintenance done on it. So it wasn't like we bought it. We had it checked out. It's just a freak thing. And the engine just decided it didn't want to fire anymore. One of those freak things. Nothing was wrong. And there was no warning signs. It just, one day you go to start it.  And so we've been debating because it's only 80k. Like, do you just put a new engine in? But maybe it's sitting on it for almost a year. So I'm starting to think we're probably not going to put a new engine in. So that's like what I really want. Just like another car. Going to be on it. That's my reel. We'll get there. We're basically just waiting till we pay off the current. We don't want to have two car payments at the same time. We want to pay off our Dodge Durango, which we should have paid off next spring. We should also have our wedding paid off. And then we'll consider getting another car. We can get a nice car. Hertz rules. Yeah dude. I mean he's not bad. I think he could be, I think Jalen Hertz could be the future league. I don't know if you have the right coach. But I think he's got potential. I feel bad that I'm not using it. That I picked up a free agent and I've been using it. But it doesn't mean I won't use Jalen Hertz next year. He who has a why to live can bear almost any how. Birdman. What's that quote from? Take into account that great love and great achievements evolve great. Is that, is that, is that from Sun, Sun Tzu or Sun Tzu? I know you don't pronounce the T. I haven't read that sometimes. I've always meant to read that book. I've just never done it. I'm actually kind of ashamed I haven't done it or how much I like that. Timothy keeps saying he has to go to bed. You know you can just go to bed Tim. You control whether or not like you're in bed. Like literally I'm going to bed right after this. I probably won't fall asleep right away. I wait for Yulia to get home.  I got a pee. Like literally I can feel the pee. I got a pee. But I'm okay. I can hold it for a little while. I was wondering what smelled bad. Turns out I forgot to unplug my glue gun two days. Oh, that's rough. Yeah, I got a glue gun over here that we used for some stuff on the set. It's sitting here. It's not plugged in though. But yeah, when you forget to unplug the glue gun.  That would have been the worst. You got to be careful with the arts and crafts stuff. Or practically I use mine for... Would you call working on the Nintendo Prime set in art and craft? Or would you call it? I make money doing what I do. So I guess you call it practical. But then you can make money doing hobbies. So I don't know. Go pee. I'll be alright. The stream's not lasting much longer. I'll be able to hold it to that. It's not like, oh my god, I'm bursting, you know. It's not, it's not one of those burstings this week. It was bursting. Screw it. I'd walk out to the laundry room and I'd just go pee in the sink. Because we have a sink in there. And I would just pee. I've done that before because we don't have a bathroom in here. But it's not that funny. It was really bad. I get out of here. But the stream ends in a little bit. Common sense is genius dressed in the working class. In three words, I can sum up everything I've learned about life. Birdman, you are such a... He went, he went from... He went from... So Birdman went from your wishes been granted.  To telling me to bet him. I don't know what they... I don't know what that kid's doing, man. Kid, I don't know.  You have money. Literally, you must be a man, man. My children are kids. They don't have money. Not that much. My, okay. So Adam, I've done that before, right? Like, I've been in a car with a buddy and had to pee in a bottle. Think like, what should we call it? Um, Jim Carrey, dumb and dumber, where he was peeing in all the beer bottles. I've never peed in a beer bottle.  Several of them.  Ape ball says, I don't know. Ape ball, awesome stream, right? Stream elements, doesn't agree. He thinks the stream is lame, apparently. Ape ball finger. He gives the Ape ball the finger. What's the Ape ball gonna say to that?  Does it agree with you? It's laughing at you, Timothy. Are you gonna let stream elements laugh at you? Oh man, the Ape ball is laughing right now.  Well, I assume that that random big super chat's not coming from a, what should we call it, bird man, which is fine. Not like I was really waiting around for it. We're gonna be ending the stream here. We're gonna be ending the stream here. Within the next nine minutes, we're gonna end before, we're gonna end by 11.59 p.m. my time. So I'll assume it's awesome to watch this.  You're in our discord server, too. Wait, Nintendo did something about a controversial situation. Just guy, hey, turtle, turtle, how's it going, man?  We're at $700.95, $253 away from the record. I never thought I'd be saying that again in 2020. But yeah, we're, Nintendo is not happy. That's the reason for that. And they are taking action with the ESA. They've taken other actions that Doug Bowser won't describe, but he told the employees that we ain't just using our word. We're trying to use our muscles to do something about this. So we'll see what happens. Sony and Microsoft aren't happy either. So there's a lot of discussion and pressure going on with that. Now, I don't know if Nintendo's asking for Bobby Cotch to step down. That could be something they're asking for. I have no idea. Now, there's something to be learned from a rainstorm. A meeting with a sudden shower to try not to get wet and run quicksail on the road, but doing such things, passing under the eaves of houses. Oh my gosh, feels like we're getting poetic. Timothy denied on the cock. My God. Later, turtle, turtle, have a good night, man. Can we get a music outro when you end the stream? Probably not. I don't have anything set up to do that. My stream is kind of in lingo or limbo with the OBS studio. We only recently got it set up and then an add on. I installed Broca's. I reinstalled it. Things aren't working. So probably not. But I am working on some more professional setup that hopefully will debut Sunday. But I can't guarantee they've done by Sunday. It's a holiday week. So the guy I hired to do it, he never guaranteed it would be done this week. So we'll see. Someone talking about depression? This night made my night and day. Thank you. No problem, Birdman. Thank you, Birdman. No, I hope you're having a good night. You said it made your night and day. Hey man, thanks. No pressure on you to set the record. You're good. I do appreciate you though, man.  I can't describe how I feel other than just appreciation. Be sure to email me.  Don't got to worry about that. That's nothing compared to what you donated. I do appreciate it. A faint clap of thunder clouded this guy's sign shirt. No, it won't be signed because it'll be signed directly from the connection. It won't be signed. That $100, by the way, that was just the final for Birdman. A salute to Birdman. Thank you, man. You're awesome. I just wanted to have an actual $100 salute to you for all your donors tonight. I appreciate it. Check what you said before that, Birdman.  However, I must say this. Thank you all of you. I've been dealing with serious depression right now. So first off, kudos to you for being able to admit it. The hardest thing with depression is admitting that you have it. I've had depression for years. My fiance still suffers from it. She probably always does. She hasn't worked in that. My sister suffers from it. Eric every now and then does.  But the number one thing is admitting that you have it. And then it's just trying to do something about it. Like I'm glad there's stream and everything helps. Like I realize my content sometimes helps people in dark places, whether it's my live stream or just everything.  Hey everyone, welcome to Nintendo Prime. It's like sometimes just hearing that at the very beginning of a video is kind of an uplifting thing. And I know that. I think that some content creators don't realize the power we have with individuals. Because there's so much focus on, let's get more views. Let's grow the channel. That's this, that's that. Let's try to make the most money we can. Let's try to be able to support our families. I want to do this for a living. I want this, I want that. And like we sometimes don't realize that like we only have 57 viewers right now. But there's a possibility that all 57 viewers are being impacted by this live stream at this moment. And it could be the difference between someone committing suicide, someone getting help, someone being happy and someone being sad and going to going to bed all lonely and just not feeling right. Like I don't know that all content creators realize the impact we can have on that individual level. So I'm glad the stream and my content obviously will help you. Glad I'm some sort of help. I've been in therapy for years, 15 years. I only stopped going to therapy like four months ago. And even then I've called my therapist like three times since. You know, it helped. It can help. Therapy is a tough thing because it's a fundamental right there. I went through a lot because they all have different approaches and different experiences and different ways to connect. And it can be really hard to find the right one. But even if that's not your jam or you don't want to be medicated, that's not your jam or you are medicated. Just take care of yourself. That's more important than anything. Your streams are my favorite. You help us so much. They're so fun. I mean, yeah, that's the thing. I don't know if a lot of content creators realize the impact they have. And every now and then it comes up that my streams or my videos they're really helping people out.  It's like, yeah, fine, be angry, enjoy, live in your anger. But there's a lot of people that look at my videos, look at my content and it helps them get through their day.  But yeah, and I try to care. My giveaways, people always look at my giveaways, oh, you're trying to grow the channel. I'm trying to make sure that someone who actually watches my content. And if it grows the channel, I guess that's kind of a side effect. But I just want to give back to the community. This whole event on Sundays, just about giving back to the community, it's not about trying to grow the channel. Like, yeah, you got to be subscribed, but it's not like, I'm planning to go from 76,000 to 80K on Sunday. Like, that's not going to happen. I know that.  I can get more than that from a single video. So I just try to do my best to realize that a lot of people are in bad places and I can do something to help. That being said, we're going to end the stream right there. I know we're like $153 short of our record, but I'm not going to sit here and keep dragging it out, hoping we had it. Like, that's just disingenuous to me and disingenuous to you guys. I want to make sure that I'm staying genuine to the channel here. I'm not dragging things out, trying to hit arbitrary goals. You guys are awesome. So good night, Birdman. Good night, everyone. I want to say good night to everyone who's here. So if you're here right now, just say something to the chat quick. I want to say good night to you guys. Good night, Timothy. Good night, Nintors Tendo. Good night, Loki Remstorm. Good night, Rio Ayabusa, who attracted the message. Good night, Birdman. Good night, Timothy. Good night, Adam Butters. Tony0096, man. Good night, Don Lewis, man. Good night, Nassu. Good night, man. DarkDragon19. Good night, Carl Struffer, man. How's it going? I didn't even know you were here. Good night, dude. MarkStarX3. Good night, dude. Kathy. Haruso. Good night. LaX. Good night, as well. Justin Basil is here as well. Dropping the shades. Good night. Amore with the 1-2-3-2-1 underscore. Dropping the $5 at the end, saying, for my Birdman. Yeah, man. Did we all deal with some check? Good night, Cody S. Here's, man. Good night, Deadly Creature 3. Good night, Doggy. Ah, good night. Amore, 1-2-3-2-1, underscored. Dude, Carl Struffer. This has been insane tonight, man. We're at $805.94 as a super test. We're 150 bucks away from the record. I don't even know how to describe how I'm feeling at the moment with that. Justin Basil with the 10. Level it up. Gotta level it up. Thank you so much, Justin Basil at the 10 at the end. Good night, dude. You guys have a good night. Amber, all ball, Abba Lama. Good night. Viking Maiden. Have a good night, man. Don Lewis. Good night. Stray Pancake. Have a good night, man. Brett Glancy. Good night. Look at all these people that weren't even chatting. I just want to say good night. I appreciate that, guys. Cheers to Justin. Let's see here. Good night, Daffodils. And I think we're caught up. I think that's everyone. You guys are awesome. Peace out, guys. Have a great night. I really appreciate everything you guys do for me. And I hope that in some small way, I help bring a little bit of entertainment.

Dinosaur size, size has been one of the most interesting aspects of dinosaur science to the general public and to scientists. Dinosaur show some of the most extreme variations in size of any land animal group, ranging from the tiny hummingbirds, which can weight as little as 3 grams, to the extinct titanosaurus, which could weight as much as 70 tons, 69 long tons, 77 short tons. Scientists will probably never be certain of the largest and smallest dinosaurs to have ever existed, especially for the sauropods and furipods. This is because only a tiny percentage of animals ever fossilized, and most of these remain buried in the earth. View of the specimens that are recovered are complete skeletons, and impressions of skin and other soft tissues are rare. Rebuilding a complete skeleton by comparing the size and morphology of bones to those of similar, better known species is an inexact dart, and reconstructing the muscles and other organs of the living animal is, that best, a process of educated guesswork. Weight estimates for dinosaurs are much more variable than length estimates, because estimating length for extinct animals is much more easily done from a skeleton than estimating weight. Estimating weight is most easily done with the laser skin skeleton technique that puts a virtual skin over it, but even this is only an estimate. Current evidence suggests that dinosaur average size varied through the triassic, early Jurassic, late Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Predatorifera pod dinosaurs, which occupied most tristral carnivore niches during the Mesozoic, most often fall into the 100- to 1000 kg 220- to 2200 lb category when sorted by estimated weight into categories based on order of magnitude, were as a recent predatory carnivore animals peak in the 10- to 100 kg 222 lb category. The mode of Mesozoic dinosaur body masses is between 1 and 10 metric tons. This contrasts sharply with the size of Cenozoic mammals, estimated by the National Museum of Natural History as about 225 kg 4.4211.0 lb.


The next item of business is a statement by Angela Constance on accountability for delivering the national mission to reduce drug deaths and improve lives. The minister will take questions at the end of her statement and so there should be no interventions or interruptions. I call on Angela Constance, minister, up to 10 minutes please. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The loss of life in Scotland from drug-related deaths is as heartbreaking as it is unacceptable. Every drug death is a tragedy leaving families, friends and loved ones looking for answers and support. I offer my condolences to everyone who has been affected by a drug death and I reaffirm my commitment to work across Government, Parliament and beyond to deliver the national mission to save and improve lives. The impact of problematic drug use is far reaching and can cause harm in every aspect of life. That is why our national mission needs to be far reaching through an all-government, all-scotland approach with shared accountability at each and every level. People with drug problems often experience complex needs and require support from more than one service, and consequently lines of accountability can be complex. Over the lifetime of this Parliament, we will ensure effective accountability is in place through the establishment of the national care service, which will have responsibility for alcohol and drug services. It will provide a single structure for accountability, better oversight of delivery and further integration of community health and social care will provide better joined up and person-centred services. We cannot wait until the full establishment of the national care service and that is why we are taking action now to improve accountability at all levels. The national mission is backed by an additional investment of £50 million per annum. A 67 per cent increase since 2014-15, and we are now investing over £140 million in drug and alcohol services. Of this additional £50 million, over £20 million is invested through integration authorities for health and social care, plus an additional £10 million to support the implementation of MAT standards. Transparency and reporting remain key to the success of the national mission, and that is why I am asking integration authorities to account for those funds more thoroughly by increasing the frequency of their reporting from annually to quarterly. In May 2021, we opened four new funds to invest in recovery, local support, children and families, and other service improvements. We have committed up to £18 million a year on a multi-year basis to provide security for third sector grass-roots and advocacy organisations, which are often at the forefront of saving lives. That approach enables me to account for that investment and ensure that it is made in ways that will deliver the national mission. While accountability to Government and Parliament is essential, I have also been working with COSLA to support local areas to improve accountability within alcohol and drug partnerships. We have agreed eight recommendations with COSLA to improve strategic planning and are testing new tools to enable local areas to review and improve accountability with appropriate external validation. Let me be clear that local lived experience panels are also core and central to the planning and development of local services. We are also working with Public Health Scotland to improve the use of local evidence through data sets such as DAISY. We are also developing a local performance framework that will set out clear expectations across the national mission and will provide transparency and enable us to measure progress at a local level. Earlier this year I announced phase 1 of the new treatment target to ensure that more people with problematic opiate use are accessing life-saving community treatment and Public Health Scotland will publish quarterly data on progress to ensure that people receive the protection of treatment or recovery that is right for them. We set integration authorities the ambitious target of embedding the medication assisted treatment targets by April this year. Local progress from each health and social care partnership is being evaluated by the MATS support team and a report will be published in June to coincide with my update to Parliament and the report will be a collision of operational procedures, data and crucially lived experience evaluation undertaken by peer researchers. In November last year I set out my expectations to increase the number of people accessing residential rehab. I have responded to calls for more transparency and accountability by working with Public Health Scotland to track the number of placements. This gives me a clear line of sight on how the residential rehab money is being spent and I am committed to increase the number of publicly funded placements by more than 300 per cent so that by 2026 at least 1,000 people every year are publicly funded for their rehab placement. Alongside that we have published good practice on the pathways needed to ensure people are prepared for rehab and receive the support they need after the treatment and rehab is complete. As a result my expectations could not be clearer. In the first nine months of the last financial year ADPs funded 326 placements with an investment of around £2.2 million from the £5 million allocated to them to fund both placements and aftercare. I am heartened by this progress but I expect these numbers to continuously improve as we actively work with areas where the data shows both to ourselves and government but also to local populations that access is most challenging. Our priority must always be to prevent the tragedy of drug deaths and each and every death is one to many that devastates families and communities. I am determined that we learn every lesson from every death so that services are improved to better meet the needs of our citizens who are at risk of dying. When a child or vulnerable adult dies chief officers for public protection play a key role in ensuring that we learn vital lessons from these tragic events. I intend to do what is necessary so that the same chief officers take on a new accountability to ensure that lessons are learnt and changes made from the reviews of all drug-related deaths. Therefore, I will be setting out clear expectations to ensure consistency in how these reviews are carried out as well as issuing guidance and training for all those involved. The drug deaths task force have a strong interest in this area of work and may make further recommendations in their forthcoming report this summer. We already published quarterly suspected drug deaths management information from Police Scotland in addition to the annual national statistics report from National Records Scotland. We are investing a further £592,000 to improve the national drug-related death database. The leadership provided by directors of public health will enable us to use this unparalleled amount of information to best effect to deliver meaningful change. I have also taken action to improve the accountability of the national mission at Scotland level. I have provided a renewed focus for the national mission implementation group to provide scrutiny, challenge and advice to the Scottish Government and the wider sector. This includes advice from international experts. The second year of the national mission is focused on delivery on the ground and where it matters most. I need this group to provide robust scrutiny and advice to ensure that we are delivering for those that need it most. I will also be publishing a national mission plan in the summer, which sets out plans for implementing the mission over the course of the remaining four years. The plan will include an outcomes framework that will enable us to better monitor the impact that we are having on prevention and early intervention, the reorientation of a system of care and treatment recovery and trauma informed, as well as supporting families and communities. Professor Alan Miller as chair of the national collaborative for people with lived and living experience will bring forward the vision for integrating human rights into national policy at a local and national level both at service design and on delivery. The collaborative will contribute to developing monitoring and accountability mechanisms based on the internationally recognised human rights to be included in the forthcoming human rights bill. Human rights and the national collaborative provide a way of holding the government both locally and nationally to account of making sure that people who use drugs can participate in decision making which affects them of exposing stigma and discrimination and of asking tough questions and demanding clear answers. More than ever before we are reforming services providing practical as well as financial support gathering and publishing more information so that we can challenge ourselves and each other at all levels to foster responsibility for and accountability to people with drug and alcohol difficulties who, like you or I, are entitled to services that meet their needs. This is a key part of getting it right for everyone. Thank you minister. The minister will now take questions on the issues raised in her statement and I intend to allow around 20 minutes for questions after which we will move on to the next item of business. It would be helpful if those members who wish to ask a question were to press the request to speak buttons now and I call on Sue Webber. Thank you Deputy Presiding Officer and I'd like to thank the minister for advance sight of the statement and we welcome this statement to the Government's approach to tackling this national shame. With 1,339 drug-related deaths in Scotland in 2020 it is clear that the national mission sent by the Government desperately needs to succeed. First, I'm glad there is more detail on spending and accountability and I thank the minister for looking at how accountability can be improved at all levels. Accountability is key to making real progress real progress on the ground but further clarification is needed on who is ultimately responsible for ensuring the consistent implementation of the MAT standards. We've got the First Minister we have the drugs minister the drugs death task force alcohol and drug partnerships and now the national mission implementation group so I have one straight forward question who is ultimately accountable for delivering the national mission and how are all these groups working together to tackle our national shame. More specifically time and time again I speak to people who have been on methadone for over two decades they are desperate to come off methadone and on to a more modern and safe opiate replacement and MAT standard 2 states that all people should be supported to make an informed choice on what medication to use for MAT and the appropriate dose. I know of us before minister but what can the Scottish Government do to ensure that their movement to safer replacement therapies let move it all. Minister. Thank you very much and I appreciate those comments from Ms Webber improving clarity and providing more detail about the accountability and the investments that we are implementing to provide change on the ground is of crucial importance. Of course the whole reason was to demonstrate how across the piece that we are improving accountability both at a national and a local level. The purpose of the national mission implementation group is to give oversight and advice as opposed to responsibility. Responsibility will always of course rest with this Government including myself but it is important to stress also that integration authorities have a legal responsibility to plan and deliver treatment and recovery services but we all have to recognise that they can't do this alone that they must work with others they must provide adequate support to alcohol and drug partnerships and of course alcohol and drug partnerships must be engaging and working with the lived and living experience community and voluntary organisations so ultimately I would never for a minute remark from my responsibilities or the responsibilities of this Government but accountability is shared we are accountable to ourselves and to each other and we all have a responsibility to hold ourselves and each other to account. In terms of the final point that Ms Webber makes it is important to recognise that methadone is a treatment internationally recognised treatment it should not be stigmatised it should not ever be our only offer to anyone, people by and large need a holistic range of care and treatments and Buvedal is of course shown much success it was first implemented in Scotland after looking at trailblazing work in Wales during the pandemic in our prison again Buvedal doesn't suit everyone but it offers huge opportunities to release people to get on with their daily life and release them from a daily trip to the chemist thank you I thank the minister for a vast sight of her statement we agree that accountability is crucial and the Government must face scrutiny over their progress on tackling Scotland's appalling record on drug fatalities the minister is on record as stating that the mat standard should be implemented not just embedded but implemented in a year it gives me no satisfaction to say that this commitment is heading for failure so will the minister rather than provide generalised statements commit to publishing progress standard by standard ADP by ADP to allow for proper scrutiny and accountability and the minister's statement stresses the importance of transparency will the minister ensure that a full and detailed breakdown on drug and alcohol services will be published in one place and made easily accessible as recommended by Audit Scotland who described current information as incomplete disparate and inconsistent and finally Audit Scotland recommend that the national drug and alcohol target waiting time of 28 days is too long will the minister commit to action to amend this minister thank you very much I'm grateful to Ms Baker education assisted treatment standards are a significant undertaking they are not a tick box exercise and that's why I did indeed commit to embed or implement by April this year but that will have to be followed up by improving the standards and also sustaining the standards this isn't a tick box exercise I want to see far more evidence collected other than people showing me their operational procedures and that's why we are evaluating local progress from each health and social care partnership that progress is being evaluated and yes of course it's looking at their operational standards and their policy and procedures but crucially it's also looking at data and I think the third strand of our accountability and evaluation of progress at a local level is the work that's currently being done with the peer researchers because this always has to be testing how services are delivered and received by those who need them and by those who these services are meant to serve and I'm conscious of time and that I have in detail answered written parliamentary questions outlining that I will indeed ask for my commitment to report and be back on my feet in this chamber in June with a report that will look at the national picture but it will also cover area by area we will be able to report on the progress of each standard but that will also be followed up by a more in-depth report in the summer which isn't just looking at whether a standard has been met or not area by area but it's looking at the criteria for meeting each of those standards area by area so I want to reassure Ms Baker that there is a substantial amount of work going on right now to gather up-to-date evidence on the progress that is being made but also the further work that we will have to pursue over the lifetime of the national mission and the point about Audit Scotland and publishing spending in one place I agree with and the whole purpose of moving to match standards isn't a recognition that waiting time treatment targets is not the best measurement I call Collette Stevenson to be followed by Douglas Ross Thank you I very much welcome the content of today's statement and thank the minister for advance sight of it Can the minister outline how the Scottish Government is working with stakeholders local authorities, ADPs and the third sector to improve local governance in services and can she also confirm how best practice from across the country will be used to drive improvements in the service Minister Presiding Officer, as I intimated in my statement we have agreed eight recommendations with COSLA and essentially that's about improving partnerships but also include health boards, local authorities police and third sector partners both in terms of the need for all of those partners to work together but also to ensure that health boards are taking on their responsibilities to give appropriate support to integration authorities and subsequently to alcohol and drug partnerships too As I also mentioned that we are currently testing some self-assessment tools and again that's all about governance, strategic planning quality improvement financial planning as well as accountability and that should be rolled out next month but it's important to say that as well as peer review and the new layers on structures between my officials and ADPs that there is also scope for external validation to ensure that the right actions are taken to improve local governance and also Public Health Scotland are doing a range of work in this area as well and we are mapping the contributions of partners to this work and that includes investments also I call Douglas Ross to be followed by Bob Doris On Monday I'll publish the final proposals for the right to recovery bill which I'm taking through this Parliament 77% of the respondents to the consultation on that bill were in support Can the minister tell us if the Scottish Government will give its support to this bill which has been drafted by frontline experts and those with lived experience who know what's needed to tackle Scotland's drug deaths? Minister As I have said to Mr Ross in a number of occasions now that his bill when he brings it forward and when we can see the detail of it will absolutely be given a fair and sympathetic hearing I know there are a range of views expressed on the bill I'm not going to jump in and either give a blank check a rosy endorsement or indeed an unfair criticism to something that I've not seen but I do look forward to seeing the detail I have met Mr Ross in the past to discuss this and to candidly discuss some of the issues that I would hope to see reflected in the bill if he brings it forward will we be given a fair and sympathetic hearing by this Government? I call Bob Doris, followed by Paul Sweeney. Presiding Officer the minister mentioned health and social care partnerships. I anticipate Glasgow's partnership would have a key role should NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde be able to final and proceed with its safe consumption facility planned in 2016 and I pay tribute to Paul Sweeney who has lodged an associated matter was the minister able to raise resolving the legal uncertainty over safe consumption facilities when she attended the UK Government's national drug summit last week and what other matters were discussed? Minister I did indeed intend the UK Government drug summit last week I was invited and I think I was the only representative there from a devolved nation I am of the view that it is important to engage and discuss matters even with those people that you have quite fundamental disagreements about issues that I raised directly with the UK Government are issues that I have raised in the past in terms of the misuse of drugs act I would like to see that reformed if the UK won't reform it I would wish them to devolve it so we did indeed once again discuss matters such as safe drug consumption members will be aware that as a Government we are also pursuing our own activities and actions in terms of what we can do within our own legal powers but we also discussed issues in and around regulation for pill press regulation I recently met with the national crime association and it's a national crime agency and it's an area that I'm pushing to make progress on I think they're willing I'm just keen for them to go a bit faster I call Paul Sweeney to follow by Gillian Martin Thank you Deputy Presiding Officer and I thank the minister for his statement but it has left me rather underwhelmed the minister has said repeatedly that establishing over those prevention centres in Scotland is a priority and an essential tool to tackling the drug death crisis in our midst yet today's set piece statement on drug deaths there isn't a single mention of the Government's work so far on delivering these over those prevention centres in Scotland and she'll know that yesterday I launched my member's bill consultation that seeks to establish these OPCs in Scotland but I must ask why has it been left to opposition members to drive the pace of these reforms when we both agree on the need of it and when are we likely to see genuine tangible updates and progress from the Government on delivering over those prevention sites under its own competence Minister I made a commitment to this Parliament about improving accountability and governance and while issues in and around governance may not excite everyone but they are crucially important this is a shared agenda we all have our individual responsibilities we all have our part to play and I actually consider it crucial a crucial part of the national mission that we hold ourselves in each other to account both locally and nationally in terms of safer consumption rooms Mr Sweeney is right there is very strong support for those right across this Parliament the evidence in my view as is his is clear and compelling and the only debate now is how they are actually delivered and I am sure Mr Sweeney is aware that the Scottish Government is leaving no stone unturned right now to deliver clinically and legally safe consumption facilities within our powers and I will continue to pursue that activity within our own powers because at the end of the day I do not want to be asking the UK Government for permission because it is quite clear to me that they are not going to reform the misuse of drugs act it is quite clear to me that certainly to medium term we are not going to come to agreement with the UK Government over safe consumption facilities I think that is a matter of regret when even Mr Ross is of the view that the Conservatives shouldn't stand in the way of a pilot so the consensus is strong in Scotland but we are engaged with our partners we will leave no stone unturned within our own powers and that is the route I am following I appreciate that Mr Sweeney has an alternative proposal and as with other legislative proposals they will always be given a fair and sympathetic hearing Before I call the next member I would just point out that I have six more members that I would hope to call and perhaps time is not as it was ten minutes ago and therefore I would make a plea for succinct questions and minister succinct answers I do appreciate that there is a lot of ground to cover but we can see if we can fit everybody in I called Julian Martin to follow him back Alex Cole-Hamilton I would like to ask the minister about drug testing schemes where substances can be tested for rogue ingredients that could lead to extreme harm or even death, it is my understanding that licences to facilitate this can be given by the UK Government with the City Council What is the minister's position on this? As I have stated to Parliament before I am fully supportive of the work that has been done to implement drug checking facilities in Scotland The task force funded some initial research projects by Stirling University around the development of drug checking programme and I am pleased that the first application for the three prospective sites will be submitted to the Home Office in the next month It is very encouraging to see the project in Bristol receive a licence and I would very much hope that the Home Office will likewise see the benefits of these facilities being introduced in Scotland I made that very point to Mr Maltthouse when I met him last week Alex Cole-Hamilton The minister knows that Liberal Democrats want her to succeed in this regard and that is our good wishes to that It is encouraging in the statement to see the direction of travel towards rehab but these services need to be sustainable even when occupancy drifts below 50% but before people can access rehab they need to be stabilised first and foremost and the minister and I have many times discussed the need to address the gap in stabilisation services that didn't feature in today's statement I wonder if she could now update the chamber as to where we are on stabilisation Minister I would like to state that the statement was about governance and accountability and some of the nuts and bolts in and around that but like him I am a supporter of stabilisation services they are not necessarily easy to run they are also expensive and they are separate to residential rehabilitation and those abstinence based programmes but there does need to be links between the relevant services and of course some of the work regional and national commissioning in the residential rehabilitation sector is quite germane to that in that the work that we are doing through Scotland Excel will help to establish that the level of need at different geographies across the country but it is an area that we are very focused on I would be grateful if the minister can provide an update as to how she will ensure that the views of recovering users, families and associated charities continue to be taken on board Minister Absolutely Governance and accountability is not just about data important though that is or policies and procedures all of these activities need to be informed and consistently by the views of people with lived and living experience and much of the work that we have done around accountability has actually been in response to what we have heard from people with drug and alcohol problems their families and indeed those organisations and advocates who are representing them so we are continuing to for example report on a quarterly basis around our investments in residential rehab we will commit to six-monthly reporting on match standards we are increasing financial security there is of course the treatment target and there is the work that we are doing to improve governance both in terms of accountability at a national and a local level I call Sandish Gohani to be followed by Julian Mackay Drug deaths is our national shame I welcome the minister talking about data and accountability with each drug death now being investigated but I am upset that this information is not already available as it is so vital I would like to ask the minister once the investigation into a drug death has been concluded what is the mechanism that will allow the lessons learnt to be translated into action to save lives in the future minister there is part of this area that I feel very strongly about and always struggle with because when we talk about learning the lessons it trips off the tongue very easily but can sound really really trite and I know from my background as a professional social worker about also another portfolio in this government that there is guidance out there that sets the very clear parameters when the death of a child should be investigated or indeed a vulnerable adult and there is guidance around the process in which that should be done and how the information should be shared etc and I think as a minimum we should have the same for the reporting of reviews into drug related deaths so it is something that will be doing some further work and consultation on. I am keen that we get this absolutely right. I am also very conscious that these reviews can be really important for families who are seeking answers so this is an area that I feel very strongly about it's an area that politicians we can sound a bit trite on but it is an area that I want to ensure that we can make a difference on Julian Mackay to be followed by Ruth Maguire I thank the minister for advance sight of her statement and I welcome her commitment to improving consistency of drug death reviews as she said it will improve data collection allow national trends to be established and most importantly it will give families answers and ensure that they have certainty in the process Will the minister commit to taking any necessary action to ensure that there is consistency across Scotland in how drug death reviews are being carried out and ensure that these are carried out in as many cases as possible? Yes and following on from my answer to Sandish Gilhane Ms Mackay makes an important point about consistency because while most areas currently do reviews of drug deaths they are all done in a different fashion and there isn't always that visibility of the review process or indeed the outcomes either at a local or national level but I again have an open mind I think is a minimum the new procedures that we put in place should reflect at least what is in place for child deaths or under vulnerable adult procedures but I do have an open mind and if she has further suggestions about how we can strengthen our resolve and approach in this area she would be very welcome to share them Ruth Maguire I welcome the minister's statement and the clarity around accountability Can I ask how as part of that important accountability we can ensure that services are flexible enough to meet people where they are and enable them to participate fully in the decision making which affects them? As I intimated earlier integration authorities have very clear legal responsibilities in this area to plan and provide services but it is clear that they can't do this alone we also need greater clarity and support around the role and function of alcohol and drug partnerships and that whole range of partners need to be involved whether that's voluntary organisations and we need to see more terms of meaningful partnership with voluntary organisations at that very local level and of course the MAT standards is another vehicle in which improved partnership working will be driven and I think the other aspect of MAT standards which Ms Maguire I know will be interested in is how it helps us make systemic changes to prevent people being bounced around from addiction, homeless and mental health services and this is work that we are embarked upon right now as we are investing in reforming services like never before in terms of drug and alcohol services but our longer term vision isn't around the national care service which will provide that single structure for accountability and with the further integration of community health social care we will be able to provide better joined up and person-centred services Thank you minister that concludes the statement and we will move on to the next item of business prior to which there will be a very short pause to allow front bench teams to change positions should they wish


In this ELC video, you will learn about hedging language. It follows on from the ELC video on academic style. You will also learn more about indie work for this subject and the first assessment. Right, hedging language is a skill you need when writing academic essays for ELC subjects and in other subjects that you are taking at university. So listen carefully. OK, so we have this statement. Hong Kong is cold in winter. Is this statement true? Is it always true? What would be a better way of writing it? How about Hong Kong is often cold in winter or Hong Kong is sometimes cold in winter? Or we could write some people believe that Hong Kong is cold in winter. The words in red are hedging language. They are very common in academic writing. The first two, often and sometimes, are adverbs. They help us modify our writing. When something is not 100% true, we can use these words so that someone cannot say, your statement is wrong. The final sentence using believe is a little different. By using some people believe, the statement is being transferred to a third party. It's not you who is stating this, but someone else. Again, this is quite common in academic writing. OK, so that is one way you can use hedging language in academic writing. Another way is to use citations. Add referencing. This follows on from the point before, transferring to a third party. However, now you are saying who the third party is. Look at this example. According to the Hong Kong Observatory 2020, the average temperature in January is around 18 degrees centigrade. So, now we have a reliable organisation, the Hong Kong Observatory, providing evidence on the temperature. It's hard to disagree with that. OK, so adding citations will make your writing more academic and improve your academic style. Look at the student notes for more information on hedging and for adding citations. OK, a couple more slides to go. InUwork, it's a requirement for this subject and others such as ELC-1012 and ELC-1013. Now, you only need a score of 50%. And you have two choices on how to complete InUwork. There are online quizzes on Blackboard. Please check the deadlines for doing the InUwork quizzes. There are different deadlines throughout the semester. Or you can attend face-to-face initiatives to get an InUwork score. So you can attend SAP or WAP sessions, SIL workshops or join EES. You get 10% of the InUwork score for each session attended. Book sessions online through the ELC website and keep records of your bookings so that you can submit evidence on Blackboard. Finally, let's look at Assessment 1. Assessment 1 is your first draft of a problem solution essay. Please check the information sheet for the due date. And you need to first choose your topic. Look under Assessment 1 on Blackboard for the different topics. You can also find possible questions for your topic on Blackboard. Please start thinking about Assessment 1. OK, that's it from me. Make sure that you enjoy your learning at PolyU.


The Cavalcade of America, starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Maureen O'Sullivan. Tonight, the DuPont Company brings you The Doctor and The President, starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. and Maureen O'Sullivan on The Cavalcade of America. First, here is Gain Whitman. Good evening. Because you think of your home as a haven of safety, you don't let the children play with matches or scissors.  Then why risk serious injury from falls because of rugs you know are as slippery as eels? Anchor small rugs in your home with DuPont rug anchor. A non-skid underlay for rugs, rug anchor is one of the DuPont Company's better things for better living, through chemistry. Now, The Doctor and The President, starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as Benjamin Waterhouse and Maureen O'Sullivan as Eliza on The Cavalcade of America. Today, President Truman was revaccinated against smallpox. And in this year of 1947, that sounds commonplace matter of fact. And it is. But more than 100 years ago, when another president accepted vaccination, it was to dispel superstition and fear among the people of a young nation. The children, have you got room in your wagon? Yes, but hurry. We haven't got much time. The scourge is spreading. Hundreds have died already. Hurry, Charles. Hurry. 200, the dread-scurred smallpox swept through villages, towns and cities in swift epidemics. Whole populations ran in panic to escape. But there was no escape. Then in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as yet untouched by smallpox, a doctor named Benjamin Waterhouse addressed the members of the town council. I have shown decisively, gentlemen, that smallpox can be beaten, wiped out in time. There is no need to stand by and watch people die. We can and we must fight smallpox. It is only by fighting it before it appears, that we can do away with the scourge. And vaccination is the answer. Dr. Waterhouse, the people will refuse to accept it. There is something abhorrent to them in the idea of giving them an animal disease, this cowpox, in order to prevent a human disease. Dr. Jenner in England proved how successful it is, that persons who have had cowpox do not get smallpox. Of course, but well, we shall have to wait. Wait while people die. Unfortunately, there is no way we can force vaccination on people. We've got to. How, doctor? I... I don't know yet. But they must be made to see, to understand.   Worse, Eliza, it's the superstition of the Dark Ages. They insisted there's no way to prove the value of vaccination to the people. Benjamin, you mustn't be discouraged. May I come in? Uncle, please do. Oh, Benjamin, you didn't have much success at the meeting, did you? You were there, you had. My boy, people won't accept this thing. People won't. People won't. I've heard enough of that. I don't care, Benjamin. As a doctor myself, I know that vaccination against smallpox would prove effective. So does the rest of the medical profession. Then why not do something about it? Because as long as people distrust and fear, we are helpless. I've been practicing medicine for a long time, and I've learned one thing above all others. Patience. Why patience? It's the only way. No great discovery has become any less great by waiting until people were ready to accept it. People are human beings, Benjamin. They have their distrusts and fears of new things. Why should anyone distrust or fear anything that'll keep them alive? I don't know. Oh, Benjamin, why not waste? Uncle's right. Let the people get used to the idea. Meanwhile, smallpox will kill more of them. Perhaps. I don't want to see that. No, I. But there's nothing one man can do. If you stop this fight, you'll ruin your own health. I love you, Benjamin. I don't want to see you like this. Meg, it sounds so easy. Just quit. As easy as closing a door or a book. For our sake, Benjamin. For mine and little Danny's. Eliza's right, Benjamin. You've got to think of your family first. If you persist in trying to force this thing on people, they'll shun you. You'll lose your practice. All right, all right, all right. I'll think it over. There, Mrs. Jenkins. I think Kathy'll be all right in the morning.  Thank you, Dr. Waterhouse. Um, was that your little boy in the yard as I came in? Well, yes, that's Martin. I, uh, I noticed pock marks on his face. Smallpox? Yes, he had it three years ago. But Kathy's never had it, eh? Well, I know never. But why are you asking, Doctor? Mrs. Jenkins, Martin was very sick, wasn't he? Well, yes, we thought he was going to die. He was very lucky he didn't. Now, I don't want to frighten you, but if Kathy should get smallpox, perhaps she wouldn't be as lucky as Martin. What? There's a way to prevent smallpox, Mrs. Jenkins. I can do it right now if you'll permit it. Doctor, you're, you're not thinking of that, that whatever you call it. I don't know what you heard about it, Mrs. Jenkins, but please believe me, it won't harm Kathy in the least. Perhaps a little fever for a day or so, and, well, after that, you'll never have to worry about smallpox for her. Well, Doctor, I don't like to even think of it. Hundreds of children in England have been vaccinated, and they're all right. You'll not do it here, Doctor. Oh, Mr. Jenkins. You'll be doing me the favor of going, Doctor. Now, look here, Mr. Jenkins. I'm sure that if you give her a testimony... No. I've heard about this business. I'll have no child of mine stuck by the devilish lancet. I've heard of people turning into animals because of it. Animals? That's nonsense. If you'll just listen...  It's you, Doctor. Good morning, Mr. Thompson. What do you want? I'm sorry to trouble you, sir, but some weeks ago, I attended your wife and your new daughter. I, um, I have no doubt that my bill was overlooked in the excitement. No, I remember it. Good. Well, I was wondering if I might collect it. I need the money rather badly. You're not going to collect that bill yet, Doctor. Oh.  It's not that, and I haven't overlooked it. This is my way of protesting against your attempts to spread the cowpox over the city. Good day, sir. People refuse me credit. People walk on the other side of the street when I pass. Oh, what am I going to do, Uncle? I thought he'd given up that idea. I thought so too, but he hasn't. He said nothing to me. I read this in the paper this morning. Look at it. One cannot but suspect the wisdom of this so-styled philanthropist. He would be well advised to quit this dangerous inquiry. Hmm. Benjamin seen this? I don't think so. But what are we going to do? My dear, don't worry about it. I have to. It's not for myself, but for Danny. Now, listen to me, Eliza. Benjamin is young, perhaps hot-headed. Let him go for a while. He'll settle down. Well, he has a singularly purposeful mind. I was the same. It took me a long, long time to learn that one man couldn't force the whole world to his ideas. My steps that are so small, they cannot be perceived. Little by little, this pernicious cowpox turns human beings who have been injected with it into animals. My good friend, you're wrong. Believe me, you're wrong. Here's the man who would turn his neighbors into cats with his devilish ideas. Good people, listen to me. Listen to me, I implore you. I want to bring you the benefits of science. I want to end the disease. Get out of here. Can I make you understand? Can I make you see? Oh, if I could only make them see, Elizabeth, if only they'd listen to me. You tried, darling. You know they won't. Your uncle was right, Liza. And so were the other doctors. It takes too much strength to go against the whole stream. Perhaps it's better if I do forget it. For now, yes. I guess it hasn't been too good for you and Danny, has it? Darling, I'd be willing to go through anything for you if it were only for myself. But there is Danny. We can't make him suffer with us. We're not rich. Now, perhaps if you waited just a little while, build up a better practice. I've thought of that. Believe me, I couldn't. Something inside me keeps pushing me on. Makes me talk when I shouldn't.  All right. Come on. Say goodnight to Danny. He's been waiting for you. You will forget about it, won't you? I guess I'll have to. Yes, darling? Did Papa come with you? I'm here, Danny. It's too late, Danny. I just came in to say goodnight. Come on, son. Kiss me goodnight. That's the boy. Now, sleep tight. Good night, darling. Good night, Danny. Every time I look at Danny, I think of the hundreds like him who have been marred or killed by smallpox. It mustn't happen to him. Oh, don't even think about it. Liza. Yes? There's one way to make sure. I... I've been thinking. Benjamin. Listen to me, dear. No. No. Now, wait, please. Danny can be my proof that no harm comes from vaccination. You must be insane. He's your own son. And for that very reason, I vaccinate. Oh, you are mad. Why? Because I'm willing to immunize my own son against a disease that kindles hundreds like him. Oh, you know, but... Liza, it's the only way. People will trust me when they know what I've done. Oh, I can't believe it's you, Benjamin. I just can't believe it. You must have faith in me. Oh, faith in you for anything but that. Would you feel the same about someone else's child? Oh, that's not a fair argument. Nor is it fair to use the vaccine on Kathy Jenkins. Or anyone else, they're not trusted for my own son. Liza, I'm a doctor. I've got to think about... I won't hear any more about it. I swear, Benjamin, that if you mention it again, I'll leave you. And I'll take Danny with me.  I deny you the right to use your son as an animal. Liza, listen to me. Oh, if you must try it on someone, try it on me. Yes, me. Oh, I'd sooner you did that than hurt Danny. You've had smallpox. You've got your immunity. It won't strike at you again. But Danny is something... I told you what I'd do if you mentioned that again. All right, but I will mention it again and again and again. I'll tell anyone who'll listen. If I have to, I'll leave Cambridge and go to the highest authority in the country. Benjamin, you've let this become an obsession. Yes, that's right. Such an obsession that I'm going and willing to forget everything else. Liza, I am going to leave. I'm going to Washington. What are you talking about? There's one man who'll listen. One man with enough authority and prestige and enough intelligence to see the truth. President Thomas Jefferson.  Look, Mama, why are there red flags over some of the houses? Those are the houses where people are sick. I'm going outside now. No, don't come back here, Danny.  You must not. Do you hear me? But why not? Because the sickness is out there waiting.  And I don't want... Liza, come on. It's bad. Very bad. Oh. A few cases at first, now 10, 15, 20. Tomorrow there may be a hundred more. Wasn't there anything you can do? There's nothing any doctor can do. We're preparing to use the libraries as hospitals. Is it coming this way? No, it's when it spreads. There's no marking its course as one would a ship. Did you look for Benjamin? Yes, I did. He hasn't returned.   Of course it was. The presence of the United States has other things to do. You think he'll listen to one doctor with an idea? I wonder. You wonder? Would you try to keep him from doing it? No, yes, I know I did. But perhaps the president would listen. It's nonsense. It's no use. Benjamin can't force vaccination. I tell you that Thomas Jefferson will think the same as we, that we have to wait patiently before we try anything as new as vaccination. You are listening to Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as Benjamin Waterhouse and Marina Sullivan as Eliza in The Doctor and the President on the cavalcade of America sponsored by the DuPont Company, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. Seeking to introduce vaccination against smallpox into the United States, Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse meets rebuff after rebuff. Waterhouse refuses to give up, however, despite protests, threats and prejudice. He goes to see the one man who he thinks will help him, President Thomas Jefferson. In my letter, Mr. President, I've explained the process of vaccination. Yes, I read the letter, Dr. Waterhouse. And what do you think, sir? Well, I should like to know a little more. Mr. President, in England, Dr. Jenner discovered that dairymates were somehow immune to smallpox. Dairymates? Why dairymates in particular? Well, those who had a disease called cowpox were passed over by an epidemic of smallpox that took hundreds of lives. But what is vaccination to do with this? Dr. Jenner prepared a vaccine, infected a human being with cowpox, and then proved that person immune to smallpox. And that's what you want to do? I do. But I need someone with authority, a sponsor, a patron, someone whose eminence will silence those who oppose vaccination. Oh, myself, for example? Yes, sir. Dr.... Yes, sir? What other proof have you that vaccination is successful? The British Navy has ordered its adoption. Vaccination is compulsory among soldiers of the Gibraltar garrison. Sir, there are hundreds upon hundreds of proofs today. Men and women and children of smallpox is not touched because of vaccination. I see. And what exactly do you want me to do? Sponsor it. Doctor, what you ask of me is difficult. I believe you.  But what, Mr. President? I cannot force it upon the people. I see, sir. Well, it was very kind of you to see me. I'll take no more of your time. Just a moment. The French minister waiting because of your letter to me and the urgency it sounded, I wouldn't have talked this long had I not believed in you. Doctor, have you any of that vaccine with you? Well, yes, sir. I want you to leave some of it with me. Leave it, but... Together with the necessary directions for vaccination. What are you going to do, sir? Try it. On my servants, neighbors, if they'll allow it, on my family, and on myself. You... you'll do that? Yes. You see, doctor, not too long ago, we fought a war for independence. There were those who thought that struggle useless against the tremendous odds we faced. But there were those with vision and faith. The birth of our nation depended upon those two qualities. The progress and welfare of our country will always depend upon them. Please leave me that vaccine. That and my deepest gratitude. Benjamin. Thank God you're back. Hello, Uncle. I suppose you saw we have an epidemic here. Oh, Benjamin, darling. My dearest. Danny. He's all right. We've been keeping him in the house. Thank God. When did this start? Several days ago. It's been raging. You've got to listen to me now. President Jefferson has agreed to try the vaccine on himself and his family. Now I'm going to vaccinate Danny. No. Eliza, no matter what you say or think, I'm not going to stand by and allow superstitious fear and distrust to interfere with our son's safety. Danny is to be vaccinated as soon as I can do it. You understand why, don't you? I don't know. Eliza. I... If Danny were my boy, I'd say yes. All right, Benjamin. Do what you will. Do what you can. Tell Danny to come in, Eliza. Danny. Danny. You will be careful not to frighten him, won't you, Benjamin? I promise you, my dear. Papa wants to talk to you, Danny. Danny, come here. Are you a good soldier, son, brave as a hero? I hope so, Papa. You know, son, don't you? I would never harm you. Yes, Papa. And if you feel like crying, son, start counting. Yes. Now, watch Mama. Listen to the story she'll tell you. And don't forget. Count. Tell me the story, Mama. Well, once upon a time, in a kingdom long ago, there was a little boy. A prince. Hold his arm, will you, uncle? The prince was very lonesome. Don't look at me, Danny. Listen to your mama. And as he went walking along... Remember the soldier, son? Yes, Papa. Count, Danny, count. What? That's the boy. Count any further. Then cry, son. Even soldiers cry. Eliza, only a week and Danny's well. Oh, I know. Isn't that wonderful? The Benjamin. What about the people who fought you? What about them now? They know what I did with Danny, but... But what, dear? I know, and you know that vaccination doesn't harm a person. You see that with Danny. Yes. But that isn't all you wanted to say. Is it, dear? No. What I've done is only a part of the work, Liza. Vaccinating Danny was only the beginning. Now I must prove that Danny is immune. What... what do you intend to do? Take him to the hospital. Keep him there among patients who are ill, dying of smallpox. It must be that way? There is no other way. I see. Darling, I can't force this as I did the vaccination. Now you must decide. I'm not afraid anymore, darling. How long will it have to be, Benjamin? 15 days, at least that long. I'll stay with him. Yes, darling. Five days, eh, Benjamin? Five days this morning, uncle? And no sign of a disease. Not yet. Not yet. Can't we take him home now, Benjamin? It's been ten days. Oh, surely that long enough... It must be 15, Liza. A shorter time would prove nothing. Now you get some sleep, dear. I'll stay by him. Yes. And call me if you... I'll call you. Good night. Good night. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come. You've been a great soldier, Danny. I'm proud of you. Yeah.  No, son, you weren't. Benjamin, the people do they believe you now? Now they do. They come voluntarily to be vaccinated. I'm proud of you, Benjamin. No, let's be proud of Danny. Come on, son, we're going home. And on the way, we'll buy out every sweet shop we see. Dr. Waterhouse, I am glad to see you. So it worked, eh? It worked. And your experiments? Wonderful. Doctor, I... I'm not going to try to thank you for what you've done. I don't think I could find the words. But the whole nation is deeply grateful to you. To me? Oh, no, sir, to you. When I came to you, I was a desperate man. I'd almost given up. I was ready to forget the whole thing and wait as I was told to do. I'm glad you didn't. But it was you, Mr. President, who gave me the courage to try again. It was your example and your faith that sent me back to Cambridge determined not to give up. I think of what's happened to us not as an experiment in medicine, but as a living proof that our country will always be as great as the men who conceived it. Vaccination is accepted almost universally as the means of fighting and destroying smallpox. Today, there are long lines of men and women waiting their turn to be vaccinated. No longer fearing epidemics, but knowing that because of men like Dr. Waterhouse, they can turn their backs on fear. Here is Gain Whitman speaking for DuPont. Everybody knows what an automobile radiator is. It cools the water that cools the motor. Just because it is so well made and efficient, in fact, too many of us forget it's there under the hood. When we drive into a service station for gasoline or oil and the man asks, check the water? We have to think for a minute sometimes. Water? Then we say, at least I do. Oh, sure, sure, thanks. Now the gasoline vapor inside the motor of your car burns at temperatures as high as 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot enough, actually, to melt the metal of your motor. In fact, melt your car. And that's why motor heat must be carried away and carried away fast. If the tubes of the radiator clog with rust, it handicaps the cooling system. And that means trouble-scored cylinders, burnt out valves, or worse. Chemical science has been at work on this problem for many years. And chemistry can be a definite service in keeping the radiator of your car rust-free and trouble-free. DuPont cooling system cleanser makes it simple and easy. This is the time of year to use it, too. All you have to do is pour a can of DuPont cooling system cleanser into the radiator. Then run the motor for half an hour or more and drain the radiator. This dissolves the rust, which drains out with the dirty water. After draining out the cooling system and refilling it with clean water, you can help to keep new rust from forming by pouring in a can of DuPont acid and rust inhibitor. Then it's wise to guard against leaks by pouring in DuPont cooling system sealer. This chemical will flow with the water and keep the system leak-proof without clogging the radiator. DuPont cooling system cleanser, DuPont acid and rust inhibitor, and DuPont cooling system sealer are used and sold at service stations everywhere. They are a money-saving trio of DuPont better things for better living through chemistry. Women without men were not welcome in the hardy and courageous group that set out to settle what was to be the state of Tennessee. But when Anne Robertson was widowed early in the journey, she refused to consider returning to North Carolina and decided to prove how useful and unattached woman could be. Be sure and listen next Monday to Frontier Widow, the story of Anne Robertson starring Anne Baxter on The Cavalcade of America. The Doctor and the President was dramatized with a cooperation of Princeton University Press, which is publishing the papers of Thomas Jefferson under a grant from the New York Times. In connection with the enterprise, a search is being made for all manuscript copies of Jefferson documents, including letters written to Jefferson. All persons who know of such manuscripts outside of the large collections in public institutions are requested to communicate with the editor, Julian P. Boyd, Princeton University Library, Princeton, New Jersey. The music for the DuPont Cavalcade is composed and conducted by Robert Armbruster. Our Cavalcade story was written by Robert Walston. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is currently starring in his own production, The Exiled. Maureen O'Sullivan will next be seen in the Paramount picture, The Big Cluck. In tonight's Cavalcade cast were George Zuko as Uncle, Henry Blair as Danny, and Bill Johnstone as President Jefferson. This is John Easton inviting you littlest next week to Anne Baxter in Frontier Widow on The Cavalcade of America brought to you by the DuPont Company of Wellington, Delaware. Cavalcade of America came to you from Hollywood. This is NBC, The National Broadcasting Company.


South Street Landing, a former power plant that serviced a large portion of Providence Rhode Island, was built in phases between 1912 and 1952. Located along the Providence River, South Street Landing sits within the Jewelry District, a neighborhood known for its history as a costume jewelry manufacturing hub. The plant was decommissioned in 1995 and early attempts to reuse the site failed. After sitting shuttered for 17 years, Boston-based developer CV Properties teamed up with Brown University, Rhode Island College, and the University of Rhode Island to develop a shared vision for the plant. The project sought to retain the historic elements of the brick-classical revival structure while reimagining its function and jump-starting the local economy. Completed in 2017 with the help of federal, state, and local incentives, the property was transformed into more than 305,000 square feet of adapted shared space. Rhode Island College and the University of Rhode Island joined together to create a state-of-the-art nursing education center, which includes technologically advanced simulation and training systems, complete with lifelike robotic mannequins. The remaining space is used by Brown University for administrative offices. The redevelopment of South Street Landing, part of a recently designated 125-acre riverfront area, has spurred investments in the surrounding neighborhood. This emerging innovation and design district is now experiencing an economic revival powered by this electrifying preservation success.


funny. It's kind of like the community is almost this like exponential growth thing. And we're at the beginning of something where coaches are going to have the ability to make a lot of money because kids want to be better at sports and more kids are, you know, choosing to use private trainers because they're just not getting, you know, when there's, as you know, I never played football, but when there's 90 dudes on a football field, like you might have positional coaches, but how much individual attention and you're receiving, right? It's tough. So if you construction in a way where you are helping these kids out get better at being running backs and like your success rate and your rate of getting them better is at a much faster rate than they're going to pay you more. It's just the, you know, the laws of economics.


Israeli's military continued its extensive strikes in Gaza on October 9.Defense Minister Yov Galant announced Israel's Titan blockade, which would keep even food and fuel from reaching the strip. Home to 2.3 million people footage on Monday evening showed explosions across Gaza's night skyline.Israeli's military said it had called up an unprecedented 300,000 reservists and was imposing a total blockade of the Gaza Strip, signs it could be planning a ground assault there to defeat Hamas. After it launched a humiliating attack.
