Good morning, Jane Pooley and this is long before there were movies were talking the mid-1800s, shows would travel the country offering entertainment lectures. Snake oil cures and more Morocco this morning has the story of one of those attractions with a legacy that lives to this day I met a family reunion in Mount Airy, North Carolina know it's not mine.

Are you on the side descendents here are connected to the original Siamese twins Chang and and you should be so proud of the fact that you from Siamese twins later on Sunday morning the story of how these conjoined brothers made in America left behind a legacy class will have something unquestionably cheesy from our Martha Tyson or with thousands of different cheeses is a team of judges figure out what's the best one in the world.

Never mind, and oranges there comparing Colby and them and taller American and string due to Marika Bannerman know something about that. How many Jesus to have in the competition this year but don't tell my husband we have about 30 had the Sunday morning when cheesy is a good thing with Steve Hartman we make three wishes will tell you about St. Judy, a Los Angeles attorney who is become the patron saint of some women, immigrants and best-selling author Davidson Harris makes his debut as our newest Sunday morning contributor and more coming up when our Sunday morning podcast continues an undisputed big. She stands alone at the end of the competition.

Martha Tyson are paid a visit to this is a cheesy story that takes place in the cheesiest state story begins in the town of where you can't miss the pen German phone Marika and Rall and Herman were there 400 dairy cows is very sweet and have a children run free. The Benjamin's immigrated from Holland and never looked back, except that Marika missed Dutch cheese specifically Gouda. One evening I was tossing and turning at him like right here on the farm. So my husband is able. I think I should do. I think we should stop making our own which is exactly what they did just four months after making her very first cheeses in 2006. To her amazement. Marika won an award and then in 2013 one of her aged Buddhas one best cheese in America, the US cheese championship.

A huge deal with immediate dividends, immigration, a lawyer calling. He says Marika I think we could see how the extraordinary golf right up there with Nobel Prize winners, movie stars, the extraordinary ability visa only goes to people whose achievements are internationally recognized thought about it just became the best cheese in the United States and we got approved and that's how I was yes a green card, cheese Marika now makes homes and pounds of cheese welcomes 1000 visitors to the farm each year. Her walls are lined with awards. So if there's anyone who knows the value of winning its Marika. How many Jesus to have in the competition this year but don't tell my husband we have about 30 so this is very good and Parmesan meat. We first met Marika pendulum 2013 world championship cheese contest in Madison, Wisconsin. Are you excited civics. I mean this is very kindly for this is the granddaddy of them all show flavors with more than 3400 entrance from 27 country competing in 121 stories, some esoteric particular others. Well, you wouldn't expect to see them in the running for best cheese in the world. Spring how many Jesus, can you taste the day without having no taste at all is my imagine across winetasting dog show you get a sense of what this event. They take their work very seriously. Now, in theory, these cheeses are the best of the best. Tell me what you don't know whether it's how we don't know what it is even cheese, which is why this 100 judges you ever seen cheese like we haven't like I have all German writer Robert Ash Brock was Chief Judge competition. We started 100 points, and then we start deducting flavor is the priority.

It sounds like the Olympics. Yes, a lot of these classes are decided by 1/10 of a point knowing that Marika and Herman as her Jesus were judged in Wisconsin cheese judging spectators. Sampling is definitely the attraction.

So how judges door dozens of low your handle cheeses that there's a train will each one. They drink often just imagine these judges tasting their way through hose cheeses in two days. These guys really love she most so this is the final round looking for on day three class hard. They narrowed the contenders down to 20 would've made an American cheese cheese be named best in the world that actually know and how did Marika Penniman do five awards cheesy, but for a woman who is already one best cheese in America best in the world would be awfully nice next step in the Catholic Church think Jude is the patron saint of desperate cases and lost causes St. Judy Lee Cowan explains her commitment is a work in progress when it comes to steamy screens. Michelle hasn't fogged up with Tom Ewart was sisters Robert Downey Junior or Matthew McConaughey Golden Globe nomination for that role in true Detective proved everyone skills back only romance in her latest meeting must tell your story is your character's love of the wall. Your counsel should not be allowed to argue that my client. On the one hand with Internet instruction and demonstration never happened. You have an objection section is logic that is not a legal objection wasn't popped out.

Well I guess her tenacity at the same form as her tenacity.

Judy would like Judy, I have some friends. Judy would is St. Judy traditional crusading immigration lawyer. Use the courts use to help make it easier for women to seek asylum.

Everybody. Everybody's got one. You can save I can try her about Judy Wood before this whole project and will now. I hadn't heard anything about you anyway and was quite nervous to meet her as a force to be reckoned with. This is the real you ever read what about making films about some of my cases. But I never thought about making a movie of myself as an attorney not believed at 72 practicing immigration law here for over 30. She denies that saintly title that some of the stone client. I tell them I can save you… I'm just sure she may not consider work.

Generally, a Jewish change of venue she's helped find it hard to see you.

For me it is an angel. She is my end will be US for more than 24th ripped from her kids and her husband and sent back to Mexico. I wanted today because they say my family lives here. My kids live here. They want to take us away from the phone.

Our kids, Judy gave us back our life was office some 6000 immigration cases at any one time boxes and filing cabinets are overflowing with cases, others refuse to take his words associate attorney Greg Ross makes her so good in my opinion she's a former actress thinks is wherefrom has a flair for dramatic change. The pool on the heartstrings of the judge. I am ready to roll for Internet.

Would you actually wrote the screenplay, basing it on the real case of a 39-year-old teacher from Afghanistan played in the movie by Liam to Bonnie because I wanted everyone to know that else to think for themselves. She been imprisoned by the Taliban in the early 90s because she disagreed with its brand of fundamentalism kidnapped and beaten and tortured before finally making it to the US in hopes of being granted asylum. But as the movie shows the lower court order should be deported instead. I wish I could grant you a plea of asylum, but my hands are tied. Law the law asylum does not recognize women as a protected class so Judy took the case here. This is the cook to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in Pasadena is definitely ready. She argued sending the client back to Afghanistan was almost a deficit especially because you will women go through a lot of tragedy, a lot of hardship and it's not the same kind of hardship that men go through the persecution of women takes on this invasive nature not only of the body, but this soul, the appellate court agreed there would be a clear probability of persecution if she reported and reversed the lower court's decision since then. What is champion the cause of similar harrowing tales all over the world.

How big is the backlog of cases that are with outrageous outrageous. If you went to court today and I merely go to the judge. Okay I'm sorry my docket is salami, setting it to April 30, 2022 come back cases involve women, more than half 75% of the issue is clearly topical. Doesn't make the movie political. The timing of it makes it seem political oftentimes make things political and they're not when they're just really hard and it was her heart's mission to do that one thing everybody says about Judy Wood is that she never gives up. Maybe she's no St. but she certainly seems to have found a call if you have faith in you do what's right and you keep doing it and you give your life to it.

You will succeed. You will change the nature of life on the planet. I really believe that Moraga I got a brand-new podcast.

It's all about people who have long fascinated me.

One thing they got in common. Gerald had the name of my brand-new podcast obituaries from the 20th century's greatest entertainer. He could play any likening father just doesn't seem to get much respect.

Everything wrong, so there's no statue. There's no signature on the Declaration of Independence learn new things about people you thought you knew where the day of your inauguration. Audrey died. Who aren't we not have the right for the brother because the Fonz became the old so join me this premier season of obituaries. Of course we know better, but before they were called conjoined twins that were known as Siamese twins. Why this morning Moraga tells us the fascinating story of chatting and banging the twins sign welcome to the family reunion in Mount Airy, North Carolina barbecue is not on the menu and this is one reunion where relatives take sides side, excuse me, are you on the side and are you folks here are descendents of the conjoined twins and bunker to the most popular entertainers of the early 19th century they were portrayed in a very exotic way dress always identical same suits and shirts. The boys were born in 1811. On the other side of the planet and what's now Thailand and was then called Siam ever heard the term Siamese twins. It started with them. They were perfectly healthy and normal except for a 4 inch long band of flesh and cartilage that connected them chatting was the more irritable and was the more moderate the wiser. In his book inseparable offer young Chuck Wong describes how a couple of Westerners saw Chang and Angus a couple of lottery tickets, essentially purchasing the 17-year-old boys and bring them by ship to America during their four month voyage. The twins learn to speak English to play chess and more boys than backflips ago to stop there for.

That's not incidental it's a big deal.

They arrived in 1829 and took the country by storm objects of fascination for public that didn't know what to make of them were they seen as monsters in their lives.

Certainly when the paying viewers flocking to the hands of the rooms. Those people definitely look at this point is freaks they were mistreated to barely seeing any of the money they brought in. So when they turn 21.

They decided to split from their owners eventually wrote their own version Siamese Declaration of Independence after seven more years of exhibiting themselves. They retire herein Mount Airy surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains reminded them of Siam. They adopted discerning bunker and became farmers today. Family members say there are about 1500 descendents of Chang and the youngest bunker here all this is been better at length rise. This is the house that Chang built and where his great-granddaughter Alex sink grew up and down the hill we know what the outhouse looked like she's one of the more prominent descendents. She was the Democratic nominee for Florida's governor in 2010, but sink remembers that as a kid. She stood out in town for what she says were her distinctive looks walking down the streets of little Mount Airy, North Carolina and going into a store and somebody would look in the essay that I have to give credit to my father because he said he should be so proud of the fact that you Sammy's twins, which is why a group of 10 descendents meet a recent trip to Thailand to the village where Chang and Ng story began. That's Ng's great great granddaughter Robin Craver was brought to tears for me and this is her cousin Zach Blackman Junior, who organized the trip. It's unbelievable the respect they have came to America American, but as it turns out a complicated American dream if you can have three wishes. What would they be someone can make them come true here Steve Hartman nursing home in Northwest Arkansas. We found Jim Beam 11-year-old Ruby gypsy likes to go to work with her mop.

Amanda is a nurse who travels to several nursing homes in the area was on one of those business. Ruby started going up the residence with her notepad very flat when baby, what, when, and why she came up with this idea of these questions with the intention of what tension really says she was mostly just curious what they'd say we surprised how, but instead here's what she got electric razor new shoes, yellow sausage, for some reason a lot of people asked for sausage the really basic items all and I really so she started a charity called three wishes residence now while her mom is caring for patients.

She Ruby goes room jots down wishes and then sets out to grab those wishes. Ruby has a go fund me to cover costs.

But again no one is asking for sports car here. Her expenses are minimal, especially compared to the rewards you on this day she came back with a wheelchair full of sausages.

Another grocery shop all by herself. But make no mistake, this is about food why no one has this kind of reaction over fresh fruit and whether she knows it or not. Ruby is satisfying some much more basic human needs to be remembered, to be cherished, especially by a child. That is what our seniors are truly hungry for and that is what Ruby brings. Every time she sets foot in a nursing home. Who needs a Lamborghini or when you've got a home delivery of all happy you could handle this morning.

Best-selling author David said that RS makes his debut as our newest contributor today.

Thoughts on 21st-century gallantry. I was on a crowded bus recently standing because I just surrendered my seat tooting my horn you don't get extra credit for doing what's right.

The only real joy in giving up your seat and lording it over the guy would your mother think she'd seen you sitting there playing a child's game on your phone while I tired pregnant woman stood in front of you.

I thought glaring and realizing the woman I given my seat. It was most likely not pregnant but just wearing an oversized blouse. It's best not to make a show of your offer. Whether you should act like you're getting off the next stop and would be standing up anyway. That saves the old or pregnant person, or in this case young not pregnant any embarrassment years ago in Mexico.

I stood for an elderly woman who thanked me and then turned the seat over to your house. The bus was going from town to town rather than straight to straight so I wound up standing for 2 1/2 hours this while the man stared dumbly out the window, not even offering to hold his wife's bag on his lap was young at the time. 30. They were the age that I am now right around 60, which seemed ancient to me that as I get older I find my standards change. Of course, I give up my seat to a woman who is visibly pregnant or wounded. But what if she has a swastika tattoo in that situation. Can I just look the other way if it's not a tattoo but just a T-shirt supporting someone I didn't vote for what she's talking on her phone too loudly saying my least favorite word a lot awesome on buses in Paris always frequently ordered out of my seat by blonde women who had facelifts and more short skirts with fishnet stockings. Is it fair to be artificially young looking and then reclaim your age when your feet get tired one day I decided if your hair is not gray or white. You cannot order me to stand up. I can decide to, but it has to be a lie idea, of course, now my hair is gray as well that complicate things further, please someone said to me on the tube in London last year. Take my seat, I insist, I did strangely. I hated him for sometimes the noise of news reporting can know the significance of the story. For example, the ongoing talks with North Korea over its nuclear arsenal.

The fury and force of a nuclear bomb something we all hope will never experience truly has to be seen to be believed. Which brings us to this report from David Martin miles Mark journalists with no real weapons has to be seen as really good for about 2 miles across.

Well, thanks to a project headed by Greg Springs and Lawrence Livermore National laboratory in California. The public can see them as never before. This unclassified is not a threat to national security. Starting in 1945 US conducted 210 nuclear tests above ground. All of them recorded on film from as many angles as possible. I now declare United States does not propose nuclear test, so long as other states do not do so. That ended in 1963, one for the good of the planet US and the Soviet Union agreed to stop testing in the atmosphere of motion that marks them growing up like most of those sprigs understands the physics that produces the spectacular images temperatures can reach anywhere from about 10 million° up to about 15 million°. Initially degrees Kelvin. At the outer edge of the fireball is a shockwave with the fireball doesn't vaporize the shockwave questions. She those tiny objects in the foreground. Those are tanks about to be hit by the shockwave when it first starts off this movie that Mark 100 hundred times the speed of sound, and then there is the mushroom shaped cloud which climbs into the sky spewing radiation that's directly tied to the nuclear fallout which was very very sensitive to the cloud using your computer to measure the cloud from one blast sprigs discovered the original calculations made 50 years ago were off by a full mile instead of 35,000 for you with something like 40,000 feet because where they measured it made him wonder if calculations from all the other blasts were wrong as well. It was more than just academic curiosity. Those calculations are used to predict the performance which Briggs calls the yield of today's weapons. If you measure the shockwave radius and your off by 1%.

You will be off by 5% of the yield so sprigs set out to reanalyze and then released to the public. The estimated 9000 rolls of film that had been shot. He found most of them in the archives at Los Alamos National laboratory in New Mexico birthplace of the atom bomb untouched for decades. Vast scientific treasure trove left to decay. I've had a challenge with some cans just getting candle Jim Moyers one of this country's foremost preservation once entrusted with this approver film of Pres. Kennedy's assassination now has the job of retrieving the only visual record of America's most fearsome weapons.

I want first.

Once I open a can determine the condition of the film. One way is by smell. Because in yesterday's film as the base carries the image starts to decay or put off an odor which is called the Nickerson smell like the does sound like basically it's a race against time really is because until those cans are opened.

Know the condition some of the film is been lost forever. Boy was able to restore most, using the scanner to convert each frame to a digital file here were able to analyze all the fireball films already would digital technology allowed sprigs to analyze the films with much greater precision for high-energy x-rays running down the cable and vaporizing the cable found that the measurements made decades ago over the Pacific Ocean. The Nevada desert inaccurate. The best I could do in the 50s was on or about plus or -7 maybe 10%. So were talking maybe +100 kt for one kiloton is an explosion equivalent to 1000 tons of TNT, 100 kt is about six times bigger than the bomb which leveled Hiroshima, killing 1/3 of the population, the Pentagon would not tell us if the new data from the Old Testament for study, change in current nuclear targeting plans that does not change the impact of simply looking at images like this frozen for 1 millionth of a second from 2 miles away. This fireball truly looks like an alien come to devour the earth audio. The public itself. While we appreciate just how horrific these weapons are. This is something that can kill millions of people in the blink of an sprigs is one of the few nuclear weapons designers old enough to have actually witnessed a nuclear explosion. High-altitude nighttime blast over the Pacific. The sky lit up with what direction you took about 15 minutes for all the colors fade away as the real thing. Then compare with the fill. It's amazing the difference between what occurred out there with Phil is just sick and fearsome as those photos appear I don't come close close to what you see in real life. I'm Jane Pauley. Thank you for listening and please join us again next Sunday morning with Gary this week. Stephen Long live Mitch McConnell in one of Washington's biggest midterm monument list for me to Senate races you think Republicans have the best chance of taking a democratic seed with Nevada not Georgia. Georgia is right up there with New Hampshire's products to New Hampshire people really just kind of don't like you have for more from this week's conversation, follow the take out with Maj.
