First and foremost, I want to take the time to reflect on the vulnerabilities and burning tonyons that we have lost due to the coronavirus and to continue to urge our residents to take extra precautions that is necessary to stay safe and keep our neighbors and community members as well as co-workers safe. I also would like to express my deep gratitude to the first responders, police officers, firefighters, healthcare workers, grocery service workers that stepped up in so many different ways in running our city and state during these unprecedented and uncertain times. Today, I officially announce my candidacy as the next mayor of the city of Burlington. I am a three-year term city council and member of the Board of Finals running as an independent to bring transparency, action and action back to our city government. Our city needs a trustworthy leader with an inclusive vision geared toward bringing people together and transforming Vermont's largest city into the best small city in North America. This campaign, our campaign, is about leadership and action, the leadership that truly will implement a vision for a fair, just and equitable city that works for everyone, keep everyone safe and healthy and move us into the future with a smart and sustainable policies. I came to this country 13 years ago as an African immigrant, not speaking English, not knowing the American culture, but I worked hard to find my ways in a new place and makes a difference in my community. As a family outreach coordinator at the Burlington School District and the founder and manager of the Burlington School District Plant University, to support and engage new American families. Also as a board member at the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Services, a co-founder of the Vermont New American Advisory Council, VINAC, I have been a Burlington city council for over three years now. As a city council, I am a member of the Board of Finance. I am the chair of the Racial Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Committee for the City of Burlington. But as a next mayor, these are my few priorities, confront our many public health crises with expertise and leadership, combat systemic racism, and improve the city's hiring practices to ensure that the city workforce and its department heads reflects the community that we serve. Bring fiscal responsibility and transparency to city budgeting, which is our moral document. Bring an inclusive public downtown district that supports local and small businesses. I would like also to restructure some government service department to tackle infrastructure upgrades, eradicate homelessness in our city through innovative housing models. I would like also to create a commission on aging to address the needs of older Vermonters as well as a commission around access for those who are experiencing disabilities. My recent accomplishment to the city includes working in collaboration with community organization. I secured unanimous support from the Burlington City Council colleagues for the creation of an office of Racial Equity, Inclusion and Belonging, and the Racial Equity and Belonging Committee that I currently chair. I strongly advocated for a full staffed new ambulance in the New North End and restarted the long overdue process for the city to take responsibility for upgrading and maintaining the streets of Franklin Square neighborhood. The city has a lot of work to do to recover from COVID-19. We need to strengthen the social and economic ties in the community and tackle tough issues like housing, policing, and I am ready and willing to work with everyone in all parties and across all sectors to build a healthier, stronger, more and just inclusive city. We can do the hard and necessary work and we cannot do it alone, we will do it together. I hope that you all will join me in this journey in making sure that the city of Burlington is the best small city in North America. We have done so many great things together and now it is about time that we work for transparency, unity and take actions on things that matter. Thank you all for being here and now my friend Miles will be playing a video about our campaign, what it is about. Thank you and please stay for questions. The residents of Burlington needs an inclusive leader in City Hall, a municipal government for the community and by the community. Like all Burlingtonians, we are all aging. Our city owes its residents a commitment that fulfills its democratic promise, a promise for a better future for us, our children and vulnerable communities. I have been fighting for the dignity of all people since before immigrating to Vermont from Africa 13 years ago. I have been fighting for a Burlington that is fair and welcoming to all people, regardless of their religion, their race, their gender or who they love. Without the political party or backbone organization, I have accomplished so much through collaboration, commitment and passion in filling the gaps. This is why I pledge to run as an independent, not seeking endorsements from political organizations or parties. I believe it is only through collaboration and creativity that we can collectively solve the fundamental issues of our time. In my years of public service, I have learned this important lesson. It is not enough to be right. You must strive for clear and transparent processes and active community engagement, bringing everyone along to get things done. Burlingtonians want a government that can be trusted to do the right things no matter what, especially when no one is looking. A government that cares enough to start the healing and build unity around our community needs and values. I fundamentally believe with all my being that we are going to be okay and Burlington can become the best small city in North America. My name is Ali and I am proud to announce my candidacy for mayor of the city of Burlington. Please vote Ali Jang for Mayor on Town Meeting Day. Ali is your ally in City Hall. Thank you again everyone for being here and I think it is about time for us to take a couple of questions and we know that some of the reporters would want to speak with me afterwards. And if there is anyone with a question to please put it on the chat box and we will try to at least answer a couple of them. Okay. Here Liam. Yeah hi. Ali I was just wondering this is looking at the field right now and you are not the only candidate in this race there is at least three other people who are also running. So I am just wondering how are you differentiating yourself from those other candidates in this pretty crowded field right now. Okay. Thank you. I think it is a great question and it has been coming up for a lot. The way that I differentiate myself is very easy. I have been the voice of reason at the Burlington City Council for quite some time now. Because I strive for a process and I am also an independent. I am not seeking endorsement from any political party or backbone organization. I want to lead this city with open transparency and also bringing the council together in solving the critical problems of our time such as climate change, social justice, economic justice, etc. So the voters of Burlington have the opportunity on town meeting day to vote for the candidate that they feel is the one who can take bring the council back together and together we collectively will be solving the problem of our time. My difference, I am a person of color of all the candidates running. I am the only one who is working and understand the multi, the communities and franchise communities such as the new Americans. I have lived experiences, right? And I came here, I worked hard and today I'm in front of you running for mayor. And I want to also inspire, be the cheerleader in making sure that Burlingtonians are now united and are now going to collectively come together because we all experienced so many hardships under the leadership of Miro Weinberger over the last couple of years around the police issue, around the lack of the development at the city place and so many other issues. And I will be also striving for action and action that are really researched, that are vetted and that receive the appropriate level of support from the community members that we try to serve. Thank you. You're welcome. Maybe one more question. Yeah, the chat, can you read one more, one question there? Okay, Paul Constantino is asking, can you give an example on how you have worked to bring committee members together over the past three years? Thank you, Paul. I think one of my biggest accomplishment at the city council is in making sure that the city of Burlington will to create the office of the racial equity and belonging committee. It was a resolution that I worked on in collaboration with the Vermont racial justice alliance and together I secured the vote with my city council colleagues, right? And that is exactly how I would want to continue to work with my colleagues as the next mayor of the city. As we move forward, I will create what we call a policy bank. Including the community members can submit policy ideas and collectively with the council will pick one policy, researching, vetted and find the appropriation necessary to move us forward. It's no longer me as an independent mayor to caucus with a different party, but I want to caucus with the district city council. So those are approaches in bringing everyone together. So the issues in front of us and move forward. Okay. Monica is asking what is your plan to eradicate homelessness? I invite you all also to visit my website. For each items that I discussed with you today, there is a plan to eradicate homelessness. We can do so many different things. One of them as a mayor, I will be exploring what we call the tiny home village. There are so many municipalities doing it. It is only the matter of finding the land. And we know that the tiny home village can be built in one day, one home, one day. And it will be costing over or less than $10,000 or no more. So that's one concrete example. Also we would have a focus on chronic homelessness. Those who are chronically homeless. And also that tiny home village will also implement what we call wrap around services, making sure that those people not only at home, given homes to live, but also will receive the appropriate services that they need to live in dignity as members of the community. Hi, Ali. This is Courtney from Seven Days. Can you hear me? Yes, Courtney. Hi. Question for you. So as of now, there are four people running for mayor, Moreau and three other folks. Are you concerned at all about those three, you know, yourself, Max Tracy and Patrick White splitting the opposition vote against Moreau? And do you think that could possibly land him into a fourth term as it did in 2018? Have you given any thoughts of that sort of situation happening again? Yes. So similar question of Liam. And I do believe that the Burlingtonians are ready for change. And through any calculation, we cannot see Moreau winning this election again. None of it, right? I think the voters of Burlington have the chance to at least have two city current city councils running. One of them is Max, one of them is me. And I've been ready to take the reign of the city and bring it to the next level of excellence. And I think I am not concerned. What I'm concerned about is my message to not be able to reach every voters in here. And the focus of our campaign is exactly that. What's my message? And how do we make sure that it is accessible to all voters? I think town meeting day, 7 p.m., you will see that the voice of reason that I've been working on so hard, the Burlington City Council, right, trying to bring everyone together, people value it. And I am confident that on town meeting day, they will give me a huge win. That will move us to the next level of excellence. Thank you. Maybe one more question. Yeah, so I mean, I think it's also important. Karen did ask me to talk about this. She is a resident of the New North End and she has a child who experienced visibility as well as all the families. I think I will be creating what we call a commission that will look into accessibility. To date, they have been working so hard with the current administration in making sure that those who experience, who are disabled, physically disabled, have access to city amenities such as the parks, et cetera, right? My commission will be entailed to target those people who are experiencing that issue. And we will need to have shift the way we think about equity. It's no longer about race, but it's also about age. It's also about gender. It's also about disability, right? And as part of my council, soon you will be seeing on my website the proposal that will entail, that will outline how we will get this done. And most importantly, cities are not run by individuals. Cities are run by teams. And I build a strong team of dedicated people who care deeply about the city to bring us to the next level of excellence. And many people are not talking about that. To date, no campaign manager yet. Because my campaign manager will be my chief of staff. And I'm doing a very deep research of people who have the same values that I have in including people, right? In reaching out to those who don't have a voice, they're going to see about the city. And also to make sure that the city's resources are allocated to the right programs and projects that will serve the people of this great city. Thank you all for being here with us today. And we hope that you will stay engaged in this campaign. Visit my website, send us emails and interact with your friends, your co-workers in making sure that we take our city back. Thank you all. And please vote Ali Jeng on town meeting day. Have a great and wonderful day. Okay. Bye-bye. Let's go. Vote, vote, vote for Ali Jeng. Vote, vote, vote for Ali Jeng. Let's do it. For the time is right. It's right. Let's unite. Good night. Vote, vote, vote for Ali Jeng.

Hello. Let's get started. Hi. Welcome, everyone. Get ready for an exciting adventure into web development. Today, we'll learn about web design and coding where you'll create your own digital world. It's a journey that will unlock your creativity, problem-solving skills, and show you the incredible possibilities of the online world. So join me and Tita Spencer as we explore HTML and CSS, the languages that will make you web developers. Welcome to Kids Camp at WordCamp Ileilo, where imagination meets technology. Okay. I'm very excited to be here with all of you for today's adventure into the world of web development. My name is Jaycee Palmes, and I'll be one of your guides on this journey. As a web developer and engineering manager at Web Dev Studios, I've been fortunate to work with amazing teams in creating awesome websites. Technology has always fascinated me, and today I'm thrilled to share my knowledge and help you explore the exciting world of web development. So let's dive in together and let our creativity shine as we learn HTML and build our very own digital masterpieces. So hold on to those blank papers. If you have laptops that would be okay, I've prepared the paper for you so that you'll know exactly. Because writing gives you better, well, it helps you remember. So we'll draw, we'll write, and you'll learn. Before we begin our journey into web development, let's learn about two very important words. HTML and CSS. HTML or hypertext, markup language, is like the blueprint or the skeleton of a website. It helps us organize and structure content, just like walls and rooms in-house. Listen carefully, kids. There will be a quiz later, and you'll know what. CSS on the other hand or cascading style sheets is like the magic paint and decorations for the web. It makes websites look beautiful with colors, fonts, and stylish arrangements. So HTML gives structure while CSS adds visual appeal. Together, they let us create amazing websites. Okay, so building a web page is like constructing a house. But instead of bricks, we use special instructions called tags. These tags act as building blocks, telling computers how to display different things on the web page. Just like a house has walls and windows, a web page has tags for headings, paragraphs, and images. For example, the H1 tag. Let me see. Do I have H1 here? No, I don't. But it's exactly like this. You have this and then H1. That one that stands for heading. So the H1 tag acts like the main entrance, making a big statement at the top. The P tag or the paragraph tag creates walls of text, and the image tag adds pictures like windows of a house. And with these tags, we can build our very own digital house on the internet. It's a virtual space for people to visit and explore. The head and structure. So a an HTML document is like a house with different parts. The head section is the brain, holding important information or instructions for the web page. The body section is where the fun happens. With headings, paragraphs, images, and links, both sections work together to make your web page look great and provide information. Remember, the head is the brain and the body is the heart of your web page. And there is only one head and one body for each website. Website page, web page. Hey, HTML elements. So just like building blocks come together to construct a house, web pages are created using special building blocks called HTML elements. These elements are like puzzle pieces that fit together to form the content and structure of a web page. In HTML, each element is represented by tags, which act as labels telling the computer how to treat that specific piece of content. And HTML element consists of an opening tag. An opening tag is this or opening or the start tag. I should have bought a pointer, right? But that's okay. Where was I? Yeah, and the, well, opening tag, the content itself, and then the closing tag. It's similar to a sandwich where the opening tag acts as the bread on one side. The content is the tasty filling. And the closing tag is the bread on the other side, keeping everything neatly enclosed. So I'll teach you more about this HTML elements later doing a workshop. But by combining and using this them creatively, we can build web pages that are informative and visually appealing, just like constructing a unique and beautiful house. Okay, so in house walls divide rooms, right? Right? I can't hear you, right? Nice. So those rooms create different spaces with specific purposes. Can you give me an example of a room in a house, anyone? Bedroom. Very good. So in HTML, we use special tags to divide and organize content on a web page. So to write regular tags on a web page, we use the p tags or the paragraph tag. And this p tag acts like walls separating paragraphs. They help break down information into manageable shallots, making it easier to read and understand. Headings, on the other hand, self-headings. Each one and each six are heading tags. Each one to each six are heading tags. These headings act like signs on the doors of different rooms. They indicate the topic of or importance of each section. So HTML provides different levels of headings using each one to each six, where the each one heading is the biggest and most important, while the each six heading is the smallest. So in a house, where would the each one heading be? Anyone? Living room. Yeah. Front door living room. So it's the sign at the top of the door. Where would the each six heading be? Yeah. Sure. That works. So by using these tags, we can create paragraphs for text and headings to organize our content. It's like designing walls with rooms and labeling them with signs. Okay, so HTML is a special language for building web pages. As I mentioned before, it has special tags that acts like doors and windows. So imagine a web page. It's like a house, and links are like doors. When you click on the link, it's like opening a door and going into a different room or a different web page. So links help us explore and find more information on the internet. Now imagine, the web pages are also like rooms in a house. Images are like windows into these rooms or in these rooms. With the image tag or the IMG tag, I don't have that there. I'll teach you that later. We can add pictures or graphics to our web pages. It's sort of like looking through a window and seeing something interesting or beautiful. Images make our web pages look nice and help us show information with pictures. So with HTML, we can make doors with links and windows with images. This makes our web pages fun to explore and they look great. CSS. So CSS is a magical tool that transforms our web pages just like colors, decorations and furniture make a house beautiful. With CSS, we have the power to change colors, fonts, sizes, layouts of our web pages. It's as if we have a magical paintbrush that completely changes the look and feel of our digital house. We can select vibrant colors, elegant fonts and arrange elements in a visually appealing way. So by applying these different styles using CSS, we can make our web pages unique and attractive. It's similar to adding personal touches and making our digital house reflect our creativity and taste and we are going to do that later. You're going to write your code on paper and then we're going to use my laptop to make those codes that you write on paper appear digitally. Okay, so it's time to put everything that I told you about earlier that hopefully you've learned because I'm going to ask questions later. We're going to practice and build our own HTML house from scratch. First, we'll lay solid foundation. Using special tags to structure pages, then we'll add walls and grooms by using headings, paragraphs and lists to organize the content. And next, we'll add doors and windows to make them interactive and visually appealing. We'll create links with the eight tag and insert images using the IMG or the image tag to bring the page to life. So let me just go back to the slide before. So with HTML, this is the house that you get. But with CSS, that is the house that you get. I could not find an image with a complete color, but we're going to do that later. But that's basically how CSS transforms HTML or your web page. Okay, so with CSS later, we're going to add colors, fonts and styles to make your page uniquely yours. And by the end of the workshop, you'll have built a cool web page that showcases your creativity and new HTML and CSS kills. So get ready to roll up your steves because after Peter Spencer's talk, we'll dive right into the workshop. Hopefully you learned something from what I've just said. Did you? What did you learn? I didn't get any. Nice. I need to give him a wapoo, right? How are you? So before we get Peter Spencer to do his talk, do you have any questions? Everything is clear to you because we are going to do our workshop later. All good. Nice.


On this same history, May 24th, 2016, the Kaduna State Government declared a state of emergency due to what was called tomato ebola. It's a moth that actually goes by the name tomato leaf miner or tutta absoluta.  So this moth basically lays eggs on tomato plants, tomato leaves, and the lava begins to consume the leaves of the tomato plant.  So it was, it was a big issue back in 2016 because it was found that this moth, this tomato ebola, could also attack peppers and potatoes. So big based on just how much this was, you know, it cost scarcity of tomatoes. Tomatoes began to, you know, prices began to skyrocket. And we remember how Nigerians used memes to, you know, just joke about the scarcity of tomatoes. Remember when Onion was scarce and just how much Nigerians, you know, joked about that on social media. It was the same thing back in 2016, you know, when this tomato scarcity, you know, came about because of this tomato ebola. So on this industry, the government in Kaduna declared a state of emergency because apparently the United Nations had declared Kaduna state the capital of tomatoes in Nigeria. So the state of emergency saying farmers had lost a lot. Some sources say up to one billion Naira, others say up to five billion Naira that Nigerian farmers have lost over 200 tomato farmers in Nigeria were affected. And this affected as well as, you know, about five states in the country. So it was, it was a big issue. You know, you go to restaurants, you might not be very satisfied with the color of the, of your Jollof rice you served, but you take it like that because you know that the price of tomatoes are not friendly due to this very important issue. And it challenged our food security. And we know that Nigeria began to look to Kenya for a solution. You know, the country sent experts to Kenya to try to see, you know, how exactly can we solve this problem? So it was undisturbed in history May 24th, 2016 that the Kaduna state government has to verify the state of emergency, you know, to convert tomato ebola. Just looking at those pictures makes me want to make some stew this morning. Tell me about it. I just want to make some really, really interesting pot of stew this morning. Can you cook though? I remember, you know, that period, you know, if you go to restaurants at that time, a lot of them weren't selling them. Then in the southeast, a lot of them weren't making stew anymore. So they said that they stopped to what they call Ufaku, which is, you know, Banga stew. And that was, you know, the only thing that was available in a lot of restaurants at that time. If you have seeking, you know, regular rice and stew, you wouldn't find it in a lot of restaurants. And it lasted for, you know, a couple of weeks before things eventually went back to normal. But it's also, you know, tells how, you know, we also need to expand you with regards to agriculture. You know, it shouldn't be dependent on certain states. You know, even if yes, there are states that are known because of, you know, their contributions to their cultural sector. But we should also be able to, you know, grow tomatoes, grow, you know, okra, grow pepper, grow onions and all of that in other parts of the country, hopefully, and develop, you know, other forms of agriculture that allow these things grow in different parts of the country. You know, so the South should be able to have its own tomatoes. The same way there's, you know, yams in different parts of the country, you know, in different species, if you call it that, of yams. Same way we should have, you know, other types of tomatoes so that we're not fully dependent on one region.  Yes, that's what happened today in history. All right. Let's also move to the year 2018.   He eventually apologized for following allegations of sexual misconduct made by eight different women and several other people. There was a particular production assistant who accused Freeman of harassing her for months during filming of a bank robbery comedy going in style. He said that, or she rather said the 80-year-old touched her repeatedly, tried to lift her skirt and asked if she was wearing underwear. And Morgan Freeman eventually apologized to anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected. The production assistant was among eight women to tell CNN they had been victims of harassment. He's also said to have stared at women's breasts and asked women to twirl for him. Another woman who was part of the production staff in 2012, indeed, Trilla, now you see me, alleges that Freeman harassed her and an assistant by making crude comments about their bodies. CNN, at that time, reached out to Freeman's spokesperson for comments and at his request, emailed him. He detailed lists of the accusations against Morgan Freeman. And then, of course, later on, Morgan Freeman apologized. I'm actually surprised that this didn't go all the way, like Bill Cosby or Kevin Spacey or any of all those people. It seems the women decided to not go further with the cases. There's no actual rape charge. No, no, no, no.  It doesn't make it less worse, but the point is he didn't go all the way. So I think that's the answer to your question as to why there were no, you know... Well, you know, the cancel culture, since Me Too started, didn't necessarily need anyone to go all the way. There's people who have been canceled for simply making statements or lifting skirts. It's not the first time. It really depends on if any of the victims decides to sue or decides to make a case out of it and how much publicity it really, really gets. So I would say lucky for him, because other people have been canceled for less. I'm lucky for him. He got out of it by making an apology to everyone who felt threatened. And risky, but everyone loves Morgan Freeman. Yeah, everyone loves Morgan Freeman's voice. Everyone loves Morgan Freeman. But yeah, even at that age, at 80, if you're still seen as a threat in the industry because of all your sexual harassment claims, it's still a very, very sad picture to paint at 80. No. I mean, I remember just, you know, listening to some of the people who accused him and even, you know, reading from some of the experiences, you know, people saying, while they're working on sets with Morgan Freeman, whenever he has to come on set, they remember not to wear any tight-fitting clothes, not to wear anything that would show their cleavage because of how Morgan Freeman would constantly stare at them. You know, another lady talked about how she finished interviewing him. She was trying to pull down her sketch. And it was like, oh no, don't pull it down. Just leave it that way. And you know, how we just make comments like that. And you know, like you mentioned, asking one of them. What are you gonna do at 80, sir? If she gives you a chance, what are you gonna do? We'll be shocked. Not sure yet. 80-odd man rips to your baby. We're ready to the newspaper, sir. My God. What are you gonna do? If she says, okay, yes, I'm attracted to you too. What are you gonna do at 80? See, we shouldn't make jokes about this. This is a serious, serious issue. So good for him that he's apology.  Morgan Freeman went on to say, I apologize for anyone who felt uncomfortable or disrespected. That was never my intent. So he was forgiven, but we didn't forget. It's here in today's industry. Yeah, some things will stain, you know, the beautiful career that you've had for decades.  Kevin Spaces, for example, Bill Cosby, who, you know, was seen as everyone's uncle and everyone's father in the comedy industry. Harry County is great. It was such a phenomenal part of the lives of millions of people across the world in the 80s and in the 90s. But look at how we ended. You know, same thing with R. Kelly.   All right, stay with us. We are taking a short break here. I'm moving into our first major conversation for today. We're going to be speaking about petrol price deregulation. Governors, of course, over a couple of days ago, I've agreed to full deregulation and, of course, the petrol price that would be more than 380 naira a liter. We're getting into that discussion next here on The Breakfast. Stay with us.

Oh, that looks so good in there.   Beautiful shed. I still can't believe you can't. It seems like only yesterday, I was opening and closing your door with glee. And even all the money in the word and surprises bank account can't bring you back. Shug off, tenant. Can't you see I'm trying to have an emotional damn moment here? I know and I'm sorry. I just wanted to make a little contribution to your collection. You have am, yeah? Tell me. Just indulge me. Is it?  No, God, no. It's what I took when I first moved in. That's the day I moved into the shed.  Thank you, tenant. This is really nice. No thank you just yet. Me and Matt have been working on something I think you're gonna like. Really? Don't tell me it's a banana cake. Nope, even better. Better than banana cake. I believe that when I see it. Come on then, let's go. Is this really necessary? Well, now it is.   When you reach the door. Oh yeah, when's that?  Well, turn around. Let's just say this. You've 100% made up for the other shed. Oh, thank goodness for that. We thought you were plotting revenge or something. That was a bit rude. That took a lot of effort to make.  No it didn't. Besides, I don't care. I'm just glad he's not plotting anything.  Because he's bucking, I'm Captain America. I suppose it's giving me the power of spider-man. Professor X. I'm just glad he's not plotting anything. And I did it in a Grinch parody. Which makes it fun. I was with about 12 superheroes there and I'm not afraid to use them. You ordered a pizza. Is this your wrong shed? Oh, cheers mate. No problem. I tell you what, it's nearly impossible to get in here. You think getting in is bad? Try getting out. I've been trying for you. Bring it to me, shed. You know what, you blumbering buffoon are props now. I don't know what you mean. I've just been in here. Decorating me lovely new shed, thank you very much. Then explain why I can clearly see all of the props through your window. You're old and delusional.  Give them back. You've lived long lives without them. You don't need them. We may need them for future sketches. Such as? C'est la loi. Bad man v Superman. Are you all talking in doctor order? This is kind of creeping me out. Look, just give them back.   Oh poor tenant. Everybody, everybody let's cry. Let's cry. Shedded little tear for tenant. Allow me, tenant.  Remember what I told you a couple of sketches ago? Never question the logic of a sketch, tenant. Never. It still applies. Look, I don't care how you play a tiny instrument. I only care about getting my awesome powers back. I am mine now. Sorry, all of our awesome powers back. No deal, dickie-boe. I only just got that new Iron Man helmet. I didn't even get to play with it. Bullshot only got the one line in the sketch. Don't care. Look, this is completely ridiculous. We can all benefit from having these powers. Don't care. I'm hungry. He only serves the food. Pussying out already heartless. I know when I beat... We can't just let him win. We have to fight to get our powers back. How could I beat the unwaitable Tom? Met up with Morphad earlier. He says he can pull a few strings. All right, then, tenant, what do you want? Make it quick, though. I've got a massage at five. Tom says he works one dust. I just need to get those powers back off Eccleston. But I just need some... written help, if you are. I suppose I could. Would not come cheap, though. Getting your powers back isn't enough for you. Oh, tinfoil arm, how nice of you. I mean, I suppose if it gave me Sebastian's dance fabulous hair, then maybe. But it doesn't sew trey again. Now, why, mate? I'm reluctant about this. It's not exactly difficult for you. Do you not remember the fair Morph sketch? What happened with the writer's pen? Once you wield the writer's pen, it is controlled here. Leave Golo and the ring from that one franchise. No! It's my print. So here's the pento, Marcy, become a monster. Yeah, pretty much. So yeah, it needs to be worth it for me to do this. All right, Tom. Half of Wayne Enterprises, you've just nubbed. All right, I'll help. So this band, it protects us from all the powers at Eccleston's disposal. Correcto and no. But it's only for a limited time. If it was infinite, Morph out would just go...  So let's make this counter.   We're not here to be reasonable. Get out of our way. We're taking what's rightfully ours. You really want to do this? Smith. More than you could possibly want. To get these, you're going to have to go through 12 levels of hell. You do realise that, yeah? Bring it on! Bar and powers activate. Oh, so much for never missing. Never to fear. Professor X is here.  Yeah, hi, it's me, Jack. What do you want? I'm kind of in the middle of something. Yeah, I'm writing the script for the sketch you're in. And I remembered. I don't have the wheelchair prop thing anymore. Oh, where's it gone? I threw it away. I didn't think I'd use it again.  Well, I guess I'll just have to move on to Captain America. I'm the one who's going to reference the awesomeness that is Harry Dunkley. Not you. Of course.  That's new. Webshooter. I'm not even mad. That was pretty cool. I'm not touching them. All right, Tom, baby. I'm not having the best of luck, am I? You don't seem to be mad. Oh, well, at least you got old reliable, yeah?  Oh, no, no! Oh, come on, sir. You think you're so good, Tim. You think you're so hot. Oh, yes, I don't think I know. Here's to your own medicine. No, pa! My stomach's taking a beating. Not as bad as the one you're about to have. Recognize this? I just hear, survive that. Okay, no, you two were definitely cheating after that. These bands are self-destruct in three, two, one. I knew you were cheating. And you can't cheat any more. Can you? Smell. Antenna. What do we do? We fight. That's suicide. So it's going after Moffat back in late 2015. We lived through that, didn't we? You're right. Are you okay? Well, I've had better days. I've had homes on midnight with the worst of humanity. Oh, the time at Merlin. Yeah, but no, I'm not going to make it. I can't feel my legs. Oh, now I can feel them. Oh, God! Tell you what, Smith. Since I'm feeling generous, we'll move on from Iron Man. We'll skip the winter soldier and head straight onto the final challenge. How does that sound? What is it? Oh, it's only my personal favorite. Thor's a lovely hammer. You feeling lucky, punk? Nice to know you can finally lift it.  But that's absolutely fine, because I'd rather just walk away now than go in a big battle with Equestrian alongside Tenant and have Tenant die because of it. So, you know what, Tata, have fun. I'd recommend just going home. Trust me, it's for the best. This stinks. All I did was get cranky and a hammer, and I had to miss out on some of the coolest things that even happened on this damn channel. I hear you. But at least you got to be in Doctor the Sembel, even though it was just a small cameo.  I prefer it to not being invited. I wonder what Jack's even got against us. Oh, I know. Really? Since when? Oh, he told me when the credits were rolling just a few seconds ago. Well, spit it out.  Well, he believes my voice to be a bit too similar to Trouton and McCoy, hence why he doesn't really use me as much, even though I have the cool jacket. And, well, he doesn't want to do you because your voice is just terrible. But doesn't our awesome costiers make up for that? I guess not. Want to go to the combining house? You know it!


President Ballatino has decorated and newly appointed service chiefs with their new ranks at the Council chambers of the Presidential Villa Rabuja, charging them to maintain teamwork to ensure peace and stability in the country. The Senate had previously confirmed their appointments before the ceremony. Speaking of education, the President emphasized the importance of maintaining teamwork, which he credited for the gains recorded thus far in the security sector. Like I always say, no matter how diverse we are, we are one family, staying in the same house, but living in different rooms. And you are promoting that peace and stability on behalf of all of us and for all of us. May God Almighty grant you peace, progress, and success and all your life endeavours. The challenge is ours together and together we will sail. Speaking on behalf of the service chiefs, General Musa expressed their unallied commitment to ensure the security and defence of the nation in their respective positions. I can show an endurance that you have the best team ever and we're ready to work and we're hitting the ground running. In fact, I'm sure those videos you're seeing are very old videos. Of recent, you hardly ever hear any issue of welfare, shortage, non-payment of salaries. Every soldier is entitled to speak and we ensure that they get their pay. The service chiefs are doing a wonderful job, ensuring that the pay and allowances are received as at when due. Thank God for Mr President. He looked through the armed forces and he chose the best of the best from each service. His choice also depicts inclusion. No region is left out of this exercise and the good thing is that marriage was placed on the front burner. So we have no doubt that it's a new dawn. We have no doubt that insurgency may be a thing of the past. We have no doubt that the ECOWAS issues we have may also be resolved because we have the right team with a focus and with synergy. They are all from the 39 costs and we hope that Nigeria would witness a renewed hope that it truly deserves.

The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated presents Branigan's Bat, starring Stephen Dunn and Gale Storm. Gene Crane is your hostess.  Sometimes you hear people say there's not much romance left in the world today. We're supposed to be living in a mechanical age, an age of machines when everything is measured in cold facts and figures. And yet every boy who falls in love with a girl to whom he pledges his lasting love, every marriage, the story of every home and family, is a wonderful romance. It's an adventure that goes beyond material things, for material things alone can never bring the happiness that's found in a good home. No, you can't buy happiness and love and understanding and peace. They aren't paid for in dollars and cents, because all spiritual values depend on faith, faith in God and faith in one another. Yes, faith is necessary for a happy home. That's why family prayer, the daily expression of our faith in God, is so necessary for every family. It's the romance of daily family prayer that brings sacrifice, service, and lasting love and happiness to a home. Gene Crane returns following tonight's family theater story, Branigan's Bat, starring Gail Storm and Stephen Dunn. We found the Bear's dugout here now in these last few minutes before the start of this crucial game. Just to see what we can pick up. Uh-oh! And here's Branigan again, taking the last of these pre-game wallops. That ball cleared the screen by at least 30 feet. What a hitter. Branigan's coming over this way now. He's still carrying that big brown bat. He's wrapping it up in an old sweatshirt and hiding it under the bench here in the dugout. Hey, Eddie, come on over for this way for a minute. Oh, hello. You want to say a word to your fans, Eddie? Hiya, folks. Oh, come on, Eddie, let us in on it. Wait, what's so special about that bat? What have you got in it? Your radium? Nope, base hits. Well, the doubles and the triples are kind of built into the wood like, huh? Yep, and a few homeruns, too. Well, look, I gotta go. I've got someone waiting for me in that box. Over there, back at First Base? Yeah. Who is she, Eddie? Come on, come on, let's have it. Well, her name is Olivia Denning. She just got in from a hometown. Oh, your small town boyhood romance. Well, folks, it's a surprise to you. Hey, hey, wait a minute. What are you trying to do? Make me talk out of turn? I haven't even asked her yet. Okay, good luck to you, Eddie, and the Miss Denning, too. What do you know, folks? The rookie outfielder who's become the league's leading hitter is now going to become a bridegroom, maybe? Well, that sure is good news to all the fans. Now I see Joe McKnight managing the bears over there, talking to Ryan, today's pitcher. Let's sneak in and try to pick up some baseball strategy. A little inside dope. Let me finish with apple pie all-emoted coffee. You can't beat that, Max. That's today's prices. Oh, sir, a buck and a half, including the tip.  That ought to do it. Oh, hi, hi. How's the microphone today? Oh, pretty good, Max. Hey, can you give the fans some of the lowdown on today's game? No, not now. I gotta get over and try that kid Brandigan away from that grand slam railing. I gotta get this game started. Hey, wait a minute. Max, there are millions of fans here hoping you'll give us an inside story. Sorry, sorry. We're all ready to go. Hey, Brandigan. Eddie, get on your horse. Get on the field, boy. Hey, Mike. I hear your boy Brandigan is getting married. Oh, it says who. I was just talking to him. Say, Eddie. What's about this marriage business he's talking about? You've been carrying on right onto my nose, and I don't know about it. Well, I, uh... Well, yeah, but, uh... Well, who is she? Well, Max, I'd like to introduce you to Miss Olivia. Eddie Brandigan. By... Are you ever proposed to me? Well, you see, I... Well, I've been a little busy. I... Hey, hey, hey, you can't start proposing. Now we've got a ball game to win. Get going, Brandigan. Okay, Max. I'll see you later, Olivia. Sure enough, he's lucky to use batter on the bases with him. The umpire is objecting. So Brandigan's throwing the bat to Joe McKnight to manage the bears. This has been a crazy game for Brandigan. I guess some of you folks heard about how he proposed before the game, and I know we're all wishing Eddie a lot of luck. Yes. Good stakes. Yes, very good. Yeah. Uh, good game today, huh? Yes. Some more coffee, Olivia? No, thank you. Look, Olivia, what's the matter? Nothing. But you're not saying anything. Eddie Brandigan, I'm not saying anything. What am I supposed to say? You're the one who was going to do all the talking. Then you were going to do the explaining. I've been waiting all through dinner for some idea of what this is all about. Well, I was coming to that, Olivia. I was working right up to it. But, well, you see, I... I... If you will, I wonder if Mac wrapped up my bat before he put it away today. Eddie Brandigan, do you realize what you've done? You've invited me up to these games just for the fun of it, you said. Then you start this marriage stunt. What is it supposed to be, a publicity idea? Olivia, don't get me wrong. Look, I was going to ask you. I wanted to. I was going to. But sometimes things happen so fast they get out of control. And before you know it, well... Well, there it is. Yes, there it is. Splattered across the evening papers next to the story about your crazy antics with your bat. Olivia, I'm serious. About what? Well, about everything, honest. You mean all this business about your bat isn't some kind of a gag? Look, Olivia, you don't understand. Biff Bailey gave me that bat. Then who is Biff Bailey? Well, I guess maybe you wouldn't have heard of Biff Bailey, but he was one of the old timers. The best. He said that that bat would bring me luck, and it has.  Oh, no, that's not exactly what... Well, that's what you said when you phoned me and asked me to come. Well, gosh, I didn't mean it that way, Olivia. It was just that, well, having you at the game and knowing that you were right here watching me, well, it kind of did something to me. You were doing all right before. Yeah, but, well, I knew if you were here, I'd do better. Gosh, Olivia, don't you see what I'm trying to say? No, to tell you the honest truth, it's very confusing. All the newspaper articles, well, they kind of think that bat business of yours and everything is a bit crazy. But... Well, I was hoping you'd understand, and you do understand, don't you, Olivia? No, Eddie, I don't. Oh, well, well, then I... I guess I'll... Yes, then I guess I'll be going, Eddie. Oh, wait a minute, Olivia, I thought you'd come with me. Come with you where? Well, I've got a date. Oh, don't look at me that way. It's with some kids in the children's ward at St. Luke's Hospital. I promised them. And I was hoping you'd come along. I think I'll get back to the hotel, Eddie. Well, Olivia, can't you see what I'm trying to say? What, Eddie? I... I love you. Gosh, I said it.  Yes, even if you don't understand, even if you were the most bad-tempered female in the whole... Edward Aloysius Branigan, that doesn't. Wait a minute, Olivia, please, please, wait a minute. Mr. Branigan, it was very kind of you to come to see the children. You don't know how much this means to them. No, don't thank me, nurse Martin. I'm only sorry I was so late. I was delayed with some important business. Well, the children won't forget you. Well, I won't forget them either, believe me. There's one more I'd like you to see. His name is Stevie Ritter. He's in the private room right on this hall. Oh, well, why the private room, nurse? Well, you see, he's going to have an operation the first thing in the morning, so we have him alone for tonight. Right here. Oh, I see. Visitor for you, Steve. Well, hi, Steve. How are you today? All right, thank you, Howard. Gosh, you're Eddie Branigan. Yeah, you see me playing? Well, no, I've been sort of busy. But say, why do you at Pulaski strike you out so much? Oh, well, Steve, he's a darn good pitcher. But hey, how do you know about my... If you can bat 400 and lead the leagues and homers and runs battered in, why do you let Pulaski push you around, huh? Well, I guess I just haven't gotten out of his style maybe.  Hey, Steve, that's just exactly what I'm going to do. You know, he's pitching against us tomorrow. First time up, you know what I'm going to say to him? No. I am going to stand right up that plate and I'm going to say, Pulaski, this one is for my friend, Steve. Then you know what I'm going to do? Gosh, what? I'm going to knock that ball right out of the park. You mean it? Honest? That's a promise, Steve. But look, you got to promise me something, too. Sure, Mr. Branigan. You got to promise me you'll get well. Gee, I've been kind of sick for a long time. Well, you can promise me you'll try to get well, can't you? Soon? How about that? Is that a deal? All right. I'll try real hard, honest. Had a boy. And I'll be rooting for you tomorrow. Well, uh, so long for now, huh, Steve? So long, Eddie, and thanks a lot. Gee. Good night, Steve. I'll be seeing you tomorrow. Good night, nurse, and thanks. Gee, I'm glad you brought Eddie in to me. Good night, Steve. Gosh, he's a... he's a great kid. Yes. It's too bad he hasn't much of a chance. You mean it's as serious as all that? Yes, it's a very serious operation. Oh, that's my call. Well, thanks again, Mr. Branigan, and come to see the children when you have a chance soon. Yeah, I will. I will. Yes, I'll be coming back very soon, nurse. Mac uses Ken, the special ink and ink. You can write your name right here between Al's and Lefty's. Say, Eddie, what's the idea? What did you start collecting autographs? Well, last night. How come?  I figured he'd get a kick out of it. Oh, I thought maybe it was for the future, Mrs. Branigan. Hey, hey, hey. How did, uh, how things go with you and her last night? Oh, fine, fine.  You see, well, I had it through a lot of talking to make her see my viewpoint. But, you know, I guess women are hard to understand sometimes. Yeah, so I've heard. Well, let's see. Is Whitey and Pete, Lee, Joe, and Al? Yeah. Oh, it looks like there's one autograph you forgot. Uh-oh, she's over in the box behind First Base. I'll get her to sign it later. No, no, there's another one missing. Well, I don't think I forgot anybody. Let's see here. But, uh, Eddie Branigan. Well, gosh, how do you like that? I forgot my own. Yeah, that's like you, Eddie. Well, there you are. Signed and sealed. Ah, thanks, Mac. I'll run over to Olivia and let her hang out on the ball during the game. Well, don't get mixed up in too many things, Eddie. You got a ball game coming up in a few minutes. Yeah, and I got a four-begger coming up, too, for a kid. That's one I promised. It's your series between the socks and the bears. There's been a lot of activity around here today. The stands are jammed. Everybody's wondering what Branigan and his famous plan are going to do against Polaski. That's the socks pitcher for today. Polaski's the only one in the league who's got Branigan tagged. Branigan's been getting a lot of publicity lately. I see him down there now leaning over the grandstand railing, talking with the young lady who's made the headlines with him just the other day. That's lucky. Oh, but, but, gosh, Olivia, I thought when you had a chance to think it over, you'd really understand. Yes, I understand. I see you're pulling all the strings you can to keep your name on the front pages. But count me out from now on. I thought when I was coming up here that you'd be the same Eddie Branigan I always knew. But I see now how wrong I was. Whoa. I'll stay for the rest of the week. I'll see the games and I'll go back and tell everyone what a great guy you are. But that's all there is to it, Eddie. Well, wait a minute. And whatever new gag you have with autographing this ball, you can count me out of that, too. Hello! Hey, Branigan, get going. Well, Olivia, if that's how you feel about things, all I can say is you're wrong. You're all wrong. Branigan, if you don't get off this grandstand railing, I'll pin your ears back. Folks, this has been a tight game all the way. Bears are trading by one run here in the last of the night. Eddie Branigan is coming up to the plate. Eddie's been pounding that ball all over the park. But he's been hitting right to the mid. Sensational feeling has robbed him every time he's come up. Eddie's gone hitler so far today. He's at the plate now, leaving that famous pat. Wind up. The pitch. Eddie, you was wrong. I'll pipe down, will you? Oh, never mind, never mind, kid. You did a job on that one. Let me along, will you, man? Can't you see what happened? Look! You're bad. You're broken. Yeah. A splendid handle. That's what's left of it. Branigan's bat. St. Luke's Hospital Children's Ward, Nurse Martin speaking. Nurse, this is Eddie Branigan. Tell me, nurse, how do you make out in the operation? Steve, Steve, I mean. Oh, Mr. Branigan. Yes, he was talking about you right after the time they took him into the operating room. Yeah, yeah, but how did he do? Would he be all right? Eddie, you must understand.  He had only one chance. Oh, no. He didn't know I let him die. He has very little chance, but he may possibly... Eddie, are you there? Eddie! Mr. Party hung up. The bears have dropped another one today. Branigan, their big hope in the slugging department has taken the rest of this team right into the slump with him. Bears don't seem to be able to do a thing in this game today. They're really nose-diving right out of that planet place. Eddie Branigan, the one-time wonder boy, has everybody else still wondering? I wonder if he'll ever get another base hit. Eddie, it's about time we had this out.  You know what that means. Yeah, but Mac, Biff Bailey's bat was my... Don't give me any more of that broken battle-train I've had enough of it. Now, get this straight. Throw that superstitious hook him out of this ballpark or you're gonna wind up on the bench. All right, Mac. That's what I've been trying to tell you. That's where I belong. Well, now listen, kid. You don't mean that. You can't do that to me. Mac, let's quit kidding ourselves. I'm through. I'm... I'm washed up. And you know it, too. Olivia, this is Mac. I got to talk to you right away. Yes? I'm down to Fifth and Main. Can you meet me here in five minutes? What's happened, Mac? I can't talk now. Meet me here. Fifth and Main and five... That's why I want to talk to you here. Eddie mustn't know that we're ganging up on him. I see. We got to work together so we can... Look, Olivia, you know what's happening. The whole ball club is falling apart. And what am I supposed to do? Pull it together for you?  Eddie likes you. He's in love with you. He'll believe anything you say. I don't know about that, Mac. Now listen, I've been up all night trying to figure something out. I got one idea, but I need your help. Eddie's convinced that without Fifth Bailey's bat, he can't hit...  Well, that's what I'm trying to say, but Eddie can't see it. So, I want you to tell him you found out from Bailey's widow where you could get another of Fifth's bats. Then we'll get a duplicate made. You'll give it to him. No, I won't do that. Not even for Eddie? Well, you know what means... I never lied to him. And if his baseball career depends on lies and childish superstitions, then he'd better get out of baseball right now. Yeah, yeah, I guess you're right, but it's too bad. Eddie had a great future. Maybe he just came up too fast. You know, Olivia, it's pretty hard for a young fellow who comes up in a hurry to keep his balance. Well, I thought you'd want to help him, but I guess... Oh, Mac, I'd like to help him, but he's changed so much. And all these publicity stunts... Like what? Well, the way he got that headline with his bat antics and then how he started... Oh, well, it's been one thing after another from autographing balls to... Now, wait a minute, Olivia. There weren't any reporters or photographers in on that one. He was doing that for a kid down at St. Luke's Hospital and you can check me on that if you want to. No, there'll be no need of doing that, Mac.   And you think he can be talked out of what he believes in? What he's been living? He's young. He's just got some crazy ideas. If anyone can do what you can. Eddie's a good boy, Olivia. He needs you. Why, uh... Why don't you have a talk with him? You can make him understand. All right, Mac. I'll talk to Eddie, but I doubt if it'll do any good. How can you talk yourself into thinking you're hitting depends only on a bat? Well, that's how it's been. I know. It's just that you don't seem to see it, Olivia. Well, I understand one thing. There are a lot of people who think you're a great guy. They have faith in you and what you can do. Well, that only shows how wrong a lot of people can be. Well, I guess I'm all wrong, too. I believed in you. That's why I couldn't make out what you were up to when you were going on with all your crazy antics. I couldn't believe you were serious. I was, Olivia, about everything, and most of all about you. I thought you'd understand. Eddie, you know how I felt about you for a long time. I still feel that way. That's why I don't want to see you ruin yourself, your career. Oh, why don't you forget about this, Bailey? Take any old bat and go out and do your best. Well, you know I've tried that, Olivia, but I'm in a mess out of things, out of everything. I'm through. Besides, I broke a promise that meant more to me than... What promise? I guess it doesn't matter now. Kid's dead. Oh, you mean the one you were autographing the ball for? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here it is. Autographs and all. It isn't much good now. What are you doing? What's happened to you? You threw it right through the window. Yeah, and that's the end of baseball for me, Olivia. You can go right back home. Yeah, and you can tell them back they were kind of a guy I really am. Eddie, Eddie, won't you listen to me, please? I'll be singing again, Olivia. Maybe. Oh, good evening, Mr. Branigan. There's a message here for you. Mike, please. Yes, sir. I was about to write down the message you just gave me. Message? What is it? Miss Olive Denning is at St. Luke's Hospital, and they want you to... Hospital? Well, what happened? Well, I don't know. I suppose... Well, never mind. Call me okay at fast. How is she? Who? Olivia, Miss Denning. Where you got her? Oh, you must be Eddie Branigan. Yeah, yeah. Well, she's in room 110. It's right down the hall. Olivia, you're not in bed. You're walking. Well, of course I'm walking. What on earth is... Oh, honey, honey, honey. I thought I... Well, I was so worried I... Eddie, I'm all right, but you're squeezing the breath out of me. Is this the fellow who doesn't love you anymore, Olivia, nurse Martin? Don't you shush me, young lady. There's been entirely too much hush-hush stuff in this whole affair. Now, Eddie, you listen here. Yes, yes, ma'am. You may think your fairy story is about wonderful bats or very entertaining, but don't try them on me. No, ma'am. Particularly when I've got a pretty good idea what's really bothering you.  Yeah, yes, ma'am. Now, come across the hall, both of you. I want you to say good night to a friend of mine who's been waiting up much too long for a little fellow. Well... Hello, Eddie. Gosh, I'm glad to see you. Stevie! Why, I thought that... Well, nursery, you told me that... Well, gosh, kids, you're all right. Eddie, I promised you I was gonna try, and I did. Yeah, Stevie's gonna be all well again soon. But you'd better go to sleep now, Stevie, so you'll be fresh and rested for tomorrow, and Eddie can pay you a real long visit then. Yes, nurse. You and Eddie? Yeah? You know I didn't get to hear that broadcast the day you hit the homer for me. But I can listen to the game tomorrow. Can't I, nurse? Do you think he should, Eddie? Oh, do I. Steve, you just go ahead and latch onto that radio tomorrow afternoon and don't let anybody pry you loose. I'm gonna hit two home runs tomorrow, and I'm gonna hit both of them for you. Gosh, you mean it? You betcha. Honest? That's right, Stevie. Well, I guess that should take care of you, young man. Good night, Stevie. Good night, boy. Good night. You know, Eddie, if you believed in yourself half as much as that kid believes in you, you'd be able to hit those two home runs with my old umbrella. It's a deal. Oh, come on, Olivia. See you after the game tomorrow, nurse. Now, wait, I was joking. You bring that right back this minute. Eddie, what are you doing with nurse Martin's umbrella? Oh, that's no umbrella. That's Branigan's new bat. And I'm gonna hit two home runs really back in tip-top form. It's the last half of the eight. Now Branigan do it the plate again. He's over at the bat rack, picking out a bat. Why don't you use the same bat you poked out the other home run with? Oh, forget it, Mac. From now on, any old stick is Branigan's bat. This is Gene Crane again.  But there's one thing all of us should always be certain and definite about. That's the importance of our families. The important part home should have in our lives. You know, we get out of anything only as much as we put into it. Only as much as we put into it wisely and intelligently. And we can't expect peace and understanding and happiness in our homes unless we have a positive program of action. That's what family prayer is. That's the purpose and value of family prayer. It's a positive program of daily action to bring our family closer together. God is the most vital influence in everyone's life. He shouldn't be forgotten in our homes. And mothers and fathers who make daily family prayer practice in their homes can feel secure about the future of their children. Faith in God, a determination to live up to what's right and decent, consideration for others, and appreciation of a kindness given. All these things come to a home when God is there. When a family joins together humbly and sincerely to express their thanks to God and to ask His help and blessing. Yes, it is true. The family that prays together stays together.
