We've got three four weeks of data or two and a half weeks of data now Based on what you've seen thus far once you are running your totals model for college football How are you gonna tweak things to account for that new rule? I'm probably actually not tweaking things as much as you might think it was interesting running through the data You know, there was a team a team scored on average twenty seven point three points Last season and that's only down slightly. It's twenty six point seven.  So I'll kill I will continue to keep an eye on it Maybe that changes as we get into these more tougher conference games But we shall see I also actually looked at the number of plays because this was Something The number of places actually probably a better metric for how paces, you know How the clock changes are affecting things It doesn't look like it's changed too much. There have been sixty seven point eight plays the the last two seasons Approximately it's down to place so sixty five point five. I Believe the expectation before the season it was more like gonna be like four plays per game So, you know not not a ton and Actually, maybe maybe four plays per game if it's two per team then it's four plays per game So, you know, probably not as much as like we expected and not as big an impact on scoreboard so I will continue to keep an eye on it, but You know, I think it kind of matters more for Yeah, it might not matter as much as we thought and it's important to have a data-centric approach for this because At least on Twitter, you've seen like these anecdotes about how like college football games are suddenly a lower scoring now as a result of these new play clock rules, but Those are largely refuted by the data and it's important to have a data-centric approach for stuff like this We actually have data to look at so ignore some random stuff You may see on Twitter the data says it's not as big of a an impact is, you know We may have thought but add shocker that Twitter might be a bit misleading at times Wait, what are people saying on Twitter? This is one thread. The one thread about how like some Oklahoma game was like way lower scoring than it was last year It's like a one-game sample and it was very annoying but people like latched on to it and it got traction somehow Well, that's fine. I mean if that's probably not affecting the markets, but I mean if you want to go down one one game Rabbit hole. I'm gonna guess people buying into one thread on Twitter probably are not gonna be people affecting markets too much Unfortunately probably oh well alas, but regardless nice to know things are relatively status quo in that regard Let's take a look at some week three games here Let's talk about Minnesota going in the road to take on UNC where this game right now Sees UNC favored by seven and a half taking on the Minnesota Golden Gophers Ned looking at Minnesota's first couple of games I think the offense has been a bit underwhelming not really letting things up against Nebraska and Eastern Michigan But that's you know based on looking at just the points scored and as we know points scored aren't everything So what's your read on this offense from Minnesota through the first couple of games? Yeah, I mean, I think that might be a little bit misleading You know Minnesota's offense had almost a 50% success rate against EMU So that that's that's pretty good the college football average is about 41 42 percent And then you know in Nebraska's defense might actually be good You know they held Colorado 41 percent success rate so you know Colorado So Nebraska was minus three in turnovers in that game Which is part of the reason about the margin got a little bit bigger than we expected So yeah, I mean, I'm not completely down on Minnesota's offense just yet On the other side of the ball, you know, you have North Carolina at that, you know, we kind of We don't really know about this team We think the offense is going to be good with Drake may and that that's probably right But the defense had an amazing performance You know week one against South Carolina allowed 34 success rate Not as good last week in app state and a much closer game allowed almost a 44 percent success rate It was a unit that really had a lot of suspicion about so I think it was important not to take too much from just one game against South Carolina Overall my numbers have this at UNC Minus eight so not seeing any value in this game And Yeah, so pass on the on side here Yeah, the UNC offense probably not one will be too suspect of Based on the fact they've got drake may there I know they've had a lot of turnover obviously, but pretty pretty fun offense for sure If Ed is in line at the market, then I am okay ignoring that one person Let's instead talk about Tennessee at Florida right now Tennessee is a six and a half point favorite total in this game is 58 and a half And we saw this Tennessee team that undergo a lot of turnover from 2022 to 2023. It was in key pieces especially an offense and They look pretty good through the first couple of games. So when you look at Tennessee With the current offense and current team they have constructed What is the ceiling like for them in your eyes? Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure I agree that they they look pretty good You know like they they actually had a 41 passing success rate against Austin P They were one of my 48 and a half point favorites ended up winning 30 to 13 here. So So I'm not convinced that they've been good and whenever I see Joe Milton I tend to think I I don't I don't know. I mean this this guy has Not been the starter in Has lost the starting job three times already. So in Michigan and a couple years ago at Tennessee We lost it to hand in hooker. So I think the jury is still out there. I'm not, uh, You know, Tennessee is a team that we had high expectations About in in the preseason So I'm not ready to throw in the towel yet and it actually brings in, uh, you know, kind of a pretty interesting point like, uh I had Tennessee preseason I want to make Tennessee about a seven and a half point favorite, which You know a little bit more than the markets are right now and Right now like I'm only making them About a three point favorite in this game And the reason is because I really downgraded them after the Austin P game last week And you can really ask whether I should Do that Actually just had a conversation with Mike Craig this morning. It will be posted on the football analytic show pretty soon And I asked him about what, you know, what he does with these fbs versus fcs games and You know, I mean he basically said for games in which the point spread is huge.  They're not going to get up for an fcs opponent um Anyway, I think the jury's still out in Tennessee Florida You know, that was was the exact opposite, you know, they had mcneese state last week before this big game And they pounded them and you know the metrics underlying that game suggested that was was uh So I mean, basically they played like they should have against mcneese state Tennessee really didn't so You know, my numbers are showing a ton of value um I think in this one i'm less likely to uh pull the trigger on florida plus six and half because of that And and that's simply because you know, like i'm not sure what to make out of one fcs game Uh, you know, maybe moving forward if we see a lackluster performance from Tennessee again, especially on the offensive side of the ball Against the florida defense that you know, we didn't really trust too much coming into the season Uh, I'd be more likely to be fading the volunteers I think that's an interesting dynamic too because Mike craig is obviously a very sharp guy and again We've had in the show here before uh extremely someone who I respect a lot with regards to his thoughts in college football So him saying that is obviously important, but also we've talked here on the show about how It is still important when good teams do what they should against bad teams and You could kind of talk about it either way. So I feel like to me I understand both sides of the argument. So i'm curious You know, I feel like for you when you're showing that much value I I guess i'm a bit surprised that you're not going to take it But I think that I think that I guess I get it too because we both respect Mike a lot And you can also understand his side of the argument. So I understand it. I I guess that you know, just it's it's definitely a tough thing to weigh When looking at stuff this point of the year Right and I feel like if I if I knew either of these teams more in depth Then maybe I'd be more likely to pull the trigger if Tennessee were a team like tcu Then that would be a lot different a team that I thought was overrated heading into the season um Florida, uh, uh, you know like the uh the result at utah was probably not uh the the scoreboard was probably A little bit harsher to Florida than it should have been so there's there's there's a lot of things I I think that, um It is possible to take advantage of my number on this, but I think you need a little bit more in-depth knowledge about it and I also think that the Like the null hypothesis if we're talking, you know, your Stanford phd terms the null hypothesis should be that you're not Going to bet a game and you have to be convinced that you want to bet a game and if you have reason where you can't really You know, you can't convince yourself to bet a game. Don't bet it That's the the beauty of betting college football is You can bet a lot of other games Those other games could include colorado taking on colorado state the host of college game day for this weekend Obviously colorado has lit it up at across their first couple of games But this time around they are big time favorites 22 and a half is the spread for this game colorado colorado state A fan dual sports book in the total is 59 and a half So ed we talked about the numbers in colorado entering last week But your numbers now have one more game to factor in there where colorado won convincingly Obviously the success rate may not have been as high for them in that game But score a lot of points. So now with two weeks of data on this very fresh team What are your numbers saying about them right now? I have bumped them up past FBS average. So, uh, I'm a 59th now point About a half point better than fbs average. That is going to be on the low side. Um, I just Obviously like I have one, um system that updates every team and there's just some teams that just Don't fit into that system and it makes it hard to get to where the markets are which are, you know, probably Which are in this case definitely Better than than what I have. So I'm definitely adjusting on colorado. Uh, I still think, um This is definitely not the week to fade colorado. That's what you're inclined to do Which is something that I am inclined to do Colorado state is is not good. Um, they they have been in the hundreds for a couple years in terms of their rank And they got blown out week one against washington state and you know Is one of these things where the scoreboard was actually probably kinder to colorado state than what actually happened on the football field so Colorado should win this one. They should win this one pretty easily I find it interesting that game day has decided to go to boulder this week when they have Oregon and usc Coming up in the two weeks after those should be, uh, I don't know. I mean those games should get some pretty good ratings Yeah, uh, because Oregon and usc are both pretty good teams and I'm pretty sure fando was aligned for that. I think that's all Oregon minus 14 and a half against colorado at the very bottom there If you check it So, yeah, I mean Look, I you know, I I think I talked about last week that uh, I like nabrasco plus three That didn't work out and colorado won pretty comfortably and should have won pretty comfortably they got upgraded in my numbers again and Yeah, I mean, I I still have them a little bit underrated. I can't get to this number of colorado Um, you know minus 22 and whatnot against colorado state They're gonna have the spotlight and that 10 p.m. Window and uh, I think they're gonna get a lot of attention and that's gonna be great Uh, but it'll be, you know, it's gonna be even better the next two weeks when they play some real competition So that organ game you mentioned uh, organ currently 14 and a half point favorite against colorado at fando sports book This is for next week and we talked about this before but your college football model reacts a lot more quickly now than The old model in large part because of the transfer portal. So At what point are you going to say? Okay I have enough data my model reacts quickly enough We're gonna put a lot of stock in what the model is saying about colorado and feel confident In fading them if you're still inclined at that time Well, so so I didn't use the new model because of the transfer portal Uh, I used a new model because I found it to be more accurate than what I was using before Which was based on strength of schedule adjustments in season Uh, it it just turns out to be better to react week to week in college football And that's that's really how most people kind of handicap things, right? They see something and they say oh that team played pretty well Let's move pretty quick and moving pretty quick is is the right idea um in college football As for this game. Oh What were you asking about? Oh, yeah when when to fade them? I don't know. I mean I Pretty I I'm pretty sure that I will probably be betting organ at some point. Uh, you know for that Do you know anything about the handle that you guys are taking on this game? Uh, the organ game or the colorado? Um, I have not asked uh What I'm sure it's up for a reason. That's what I would say Yeah, for sure. I just wonder if like, I mean, I'm sure the handle is pretty huge. Maybe it's a little bit less On such a lopsided one against colorado state I I wouldn't be surprised. Um, I have not seen any discussion about I know last week. I think that it was like The handle on the colorado game this might have been for a different sport But because I saw it on twitter But it was like more than all but like five other college football games combined for that week It was insane how big of a gap there was between that one in the pack Yeah And then obviously like most of the public money is on colorado correct and the public wins wins again and uh Uh Yeah, I mean look this colorado team is going to get tested and yeah, it's going to be it's going to be pretty soon And it's going to be fun It will be fun I think that we can say that definitively we don't know where the saddle in what the ceiling looks like for this team But they will be fun regardless Let's open up the board at across week three in college football. Where is the best value for you at fandall sports book right now? For sure. I'm I'm going to go to this uh, houston at tcu game So this is a game That my numbers really like So I I actually have this tcu by two And the spread is seven and a half Oh, I guess houston's at home So tcu's a team i've talked a lot about I think they're overrated I still think they're overrated and they actually got quite a downgrade last week Against nickle state. They're a 42 point favorite and they won but the underlying numbers really didn't justify that at all Houston's a little bit of a different story. They're probably not in the same league as a tcu But uh, you know, they were the underdog against utsa and ended up winning by a field goal They were a touchdown favorite against rison actually ended up losing but The results were you know within within a reasonable Within a reasonable amount of what the expectation was Before the game with the markets Uh, their defense hasn't been good, but usually data holgers and teams tend to be pretty good on the offensive side of the ball So my numbers really like tcu in this one. Uh, if I only have if I have them winning by two and What I like about this game is it's also the question of like how much do you want to pay attention to a game against an fcs team Like tcu had last week and even if you don't Take the adjustment for tcu against nickles. You're still showing value against hueson here This is the tcu team that like I said I mentioned I've Been interested in fading since the pre season because of that I actually really think there's value in in hueson plus seven and a half here at home Uh, it is their big 12 opener. I think they'll be excited. Uh, maybe the defense will even show up and come to play Um, so this is the game that I like here All right, right you right now as you mentioned hueson plus seven and a half is Minus 118 a fandal sportsbook, but you do get the benefit of a win if it lands on seven With that one of the take on tcu that game as ad mentioned is in hueson That is all that we have here for this week on covering the spread from a college football perspective But as mentioned, we are back once again to marlton talks in nfl with ed and if people are looking for your newsletter Your discussion with mike craig where can they find all those things?

Kershaw has to step off so he doesn't balk, he steps off, fires it home, a nice tag by Barnes, did he get him? Yeeeeeeep! Right on the wrist there before he touches home plate. Good call, Blue. I think it was good. You got manager Shilt going with the invisible man look, and Wong stops short.  Clean it up! Ah, very intense, very scary, very angry. Ooh, a little gross octopus on him.  Uh, uh, uh, uh. Bouncing around, he sees this, he sees them chasing him, throws the helmet up in the air, goes for a little bird flight around the outfield, just looks majestic and beautiful. Kiermeier sees him, says, I want to go for a little flight as well. He throws his hands up, quickly crash lands, Kiermeier's going to fall. He doesn't have it in him to fly around the outfield. Phillips though, just beautiful.    Uh, Randy throws the glove right back to him. And then he celebrates that. So now this dude caught a ball and a glove from the field to play. Bam, Geo, sitting, fastball, absolutely rocks it. It was a good pitch too. It was on the corner, but he's sitting it, rocks it, the bad flip, the pimp job.  That's my favorite pitch he threw, all outing. That is just a nasty slider from Romo there. Yeah, this is Melanson, he was just chilling out there, throwing his warm-ups, and the home run ball comes right to him, he catches it.  What is the bullpen watching? Leave Springer falling in love with the wall, just standing there with goo on his pants. It's just professional catcher.  Now he's got to throw it to second, they got him dead to rights and bam, headshot. Right there, did Calhoun poke his head out? You betcha, he slows his feet, he sizes it up and bam, right to the head. Gets his happy Gilmore run. Oh, God, I hurt a little bit, I'm all right. Bam, 86, the same pitch that was on the first pitch of the at bat, and he just absolutely crushes it, that's a game-ender.  And look at these reactions. Look at that, look at the faces there, I like it. And then he comes up in the next inning and boom, smashes the walk-off home run.  Oh, wait, oh, oh no. Looking good, doesn't know what's about to happen on this 1-0 pitch.  He made the play and that's awesome, but now he's on the ground, writhing in pain. Bam, forearm shiver and then a big forearm shiver. Let's see that one again because he popped his shoulder out.  I don't know what that is. And Kelly's gonna walk over here. What?  And he, I mean, he did it all.   He knows it, he doesn't care and he's gonna do him.  You know what I mean? And now Muncie's been thrown out of the game and he too will get his money's worth. I feel like we should, we should talk. You and I should both talk so we can cover this up. Boo, don't talk, don't cover it up. Let us hear what's happening. It's one of the greatest parts of the season. Come on now. And we got some hot Mike's galore here.     We all know you don't want to be here anyway. And Boone just shooting daggers, ninjas style. Oh, eyes on you, Angel.   Oh, is that it?  Let's get on the mound, little motherfucker. Right here. And as you mentioned, you hear some things this year that didn't. Yeah! I can't move. I'm gonna clear up. Come here, motherfucker. Fuck!     It's just one of the bad. Damn, damn. Yes! Yes! That's all I said. He said, I'm not going to talk to you. That's, that's, no, that's really bad. I did not. I didn't say anything. I didn't cuss at him. I didn't say a bad word to him. Just talk to me. That's all I wanted. Him to talk to me. Like, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.  Kepler's all confused. He's like, whaaaa? Uh, uh, uh, uh. Let's go! Let's go! Gotta be shitting me. He says, no, I was trying the whole time. I was trying the whole time. I promise.  Try your hardest as a great life lesson for anyone listening.     I'll be waiting for you. Yeah! Ooh! Let's go!  No, what are you doing? No! No! Come on.  That's down! And the ump says, hey, you say another word and I will eject you from this game and I mean it. And Roman Quinn says, come on.  And then the ump says, I meant it. I'm number, I'm ump 115 and I mean what I say.    Go! Go! Go! Soft. But I don't think it's soft. Maybe it's like, I got you motherfuckers. Gotcha. Safe. Motherfuckers. Safe. Motherfuckers. I mean I shouldn't be laughing, but I mean, I've never seen that before. And then Josh's getting his money's worth as he crossed home plate. Boom! Boom! Boom! We got boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Up there, he looks at them. He says, that's how bad you are. I warned you three times. You, we asked you to stop and you didn't. What else do you want me to do? Come on. Why don't you come fight me?  I don't even know who you are. He says, yeah, come fight me. And then he kind of takes this first step right here. Takes the first step, hikes up his pants a little bit.  And then he gets in a, you know, a nice wide base fighting position. Bring it on Ramon. I'm right here. I'm the hitting coach. Ramon charges in.   And then look at this wall they built. Great wall by the Houston players to protect their hitting coach. Just a great wall. Loreano tries to go around them. Garno wraps them up. One of the better wrap ups you'll see. Just immediate. Now he's just gonna start poking. Lot of poking steps closer there. Points behind him says you missed that. That is gonna get real aggressive with the hands right here. He's gonna go push, double point and he's slam that point home. And then he's out. He celebrates, he throws the finger up starting to throw the number one up before his feet even touched the ground. Cause I think he had it the whole way.  Little leg shake. And then the second baseman covers, pitchers, sprints over, makes a really athletic play to grab that ball.  You all think it. No, foot stayed on, out. Event security comes on, says yeah, there's a drone in the sky, says yeah, I see it in the sky. If there's, yeah, so here's the deal. I'm event security. I've never once been prepped on what to do if a drone, yeah up there if the drone is in the sky. So if you're looking to get answers out of me, just know I'm about to make some stuff up. Look at this pitch. If that is high to you, you're high. And Bellinger just sitting on the dugout, like reflecting out like, yeah, that was pretty cool.


So we have Mr. Jones in brackets, adverb of frequency never and the verb to be late, the adjective. So how could we complete this sentence with, in the appropriate way, to create it with the adverb of frequency and the verb to be? Exactly. Mr. Jones is never late. Okay? This would be the first exercise that I would like you to do. We have just done as an example. If you want, you can do it individually or in pairs, however you prefer, okay?


This paper examines the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete beams with a smart mortar layer attached to the concrete mixture. The smart mortar layer can detect damage in the beams and infer it through electrical measurements. The research shows that the smart mortar layer can make the beams more sustainable. Additionally, the researchers found that the relationship between the load and the fractional change in electrical resistance is linear. As the load increases, the fractional change in electrical resistance increases. Furthermore, the addition of brass fibers to the mortar-paste increases the fractional change in electrical resistance by up to 18 percent while increasing the ultimate load at failure by up to 8 percent. This article was authored by Ramkumar Duryaraj, TheraMorrigan Varatharajan, Satyana Rayan and Kachabeswara Srinivasan, and others.


The business of a seafaring man is ships. For the Navy man, it is more than business. It is a personal attachment to his particular ship. And even more, it is an abiding pride in belonging to the fleet. There's always an excitement on getting underway. Even though he's done it a thousand times, there's a crisp smartness in the way the strong gray ships move. There is, in his world of motion, a symmetry of man-made power that is strangely one with a constant sea. There is the sure sense that when his fleet moves, his country moves. And so it does. For his country, America, sends fleets to sea for age-old reasons. Times have changed, the dangers have changed, the ships have changed, and the men have changed. Which to conduct national affairs far from our own shores has not changed since Jefferson's day. Indeed, it is more important to us now than ever before. With the end of our century in sight, today's world is a complex one with ever-increasing interrelationships among its peoples. Some of the world's peoples are with us, and some are against us. Those who are with us help form what we call the free world, which we see to be an alliance of nations believing in principles of freedom and justice. And when we come down to the geographical facts of life, we see that this free world alliance must be stitched together with ships. Therefore, take the greatest of care that these lifelines sees remain free for our use. The coming and going of ships laden with cargo and essentials of defense is easy to understand. But to understand the meaning of our ocean traffic is something else. America knows America is the world's foremost industrial nation. For most of our history, we manufactured goods from our own raw materials and sold them abroad, as well as to ourselves. Different today is that we have run out of many of our own raw materials. We have run out because of enormous increases in modern manufacturing and because of depletion of basic domestic resources. And yet, we could not imagine life in our country with a nation not prosperous and strong, making the things of everyday life in great quantity and providing millions of jobs for our people. So we have to import the materials that in truth make the whole system work. Almost 100% of them come from over the ocean road. This teacher works in a Midwestern school. She does not know our man in the fleets, and he does not know her. They will never meet. But she depends upon him every day. Her coffee she had with breakfast came by ship. The rubber in tires that carried her to work came by ship. Cobalt for the steel in her scissors. Tungsten for the light bulb she uses. Tin for the canned food she buys, and on and on. A thing we sometimes forget is that the ships came in because the sea lanes of the world are free. And those sea lane lifelines are free because the fighting fleets are but there to keep them so. Just as we have to trade with others in the world to ensure economic strength and industrial well-being, we also have to engage with others in the arena of world politics. This too affects every American, for the stakes are high, national security, even national survival. We are well familiar with the red rash of political turbulences, which has flushed the face of the earth since World War II. Their doubtless would have been more had not the United States, by global presence and strength, stabilized explosive situations. Often as not, the overt expression of United States intent was those steel gray ships that took station on the horizon, ready to fight, just stay in view, or quietly disappear in the vast ocean space. This is an ambassador. He heads the United States mission to ex-country. And perhaps more than anyone, he is responsible for our dealings with that country. In a real sense, he also represents the free world, its aims and purposes, because his government, the United States, is leader of the free world. He is in an island country where civil strife has just disposed of its president. Our citizens have heavy investments there, and many Americans are on the island. The serious situation is further agitated by the fact that external revolutionary forces are at work to capture ex-country and others like it in the region. As shooting breaks out in the streets, Mr. Ambassador suddenly finds he can influence events from a position of power, where the fleet appears as if by magic. And the presence of this restraining, yet immediately available, sea power dampens out the enthusiasm of those forces bent on anarchy and eventual takeover. What helped the ambassador was having in hand the option of military force, of course. And here is one of the modern day meetings of the fleet. It is military force, yes. But it is self-sustaining, self-defending power that can move from place to place on the high seas. It has potent inland reach, used or not used overtly. And its presence is unobtrusive, without the fanfare and suspicion generated by the landing of troops. It can just show the flag, or it can fight, as the occasion demands. Sometimes it is fight. That is what happened in Korea, and that is what happened in the Tonkin Gulf and Vietnam. And when the United States and Soviet Russia were eyeball to eyeball over missiles in Cuba, even as President Kennedy addressed the nation in the world, steel ships were slipping dozens of anchors quietly and moving with silent speed to enforce a nation's destiny. With startling suddenness, some 180 ships and 83,000 sailors could have wringed the island of Cuba. And 30,000 Marines were seaborn and ready to go in. The meaning is that the Navy, the fleet, has become a much-used instrument of America's foreign policy and action because of the unique mobile power of ships in a time-compressed world. And seers into the future can only predict more of the same. For it is becoming increasingly apparent that even in a world shrunk by nuclear and space age technologies, ancient truths about national use of the seas loom larger than ever. The fleet can take an authoritative measure of America to almost any part of the globe. It has a special talent for being on the scene, ready to take immediate action. And it has as many envoys of goodwill as it has sailors. It is well that this is so. For there are those in the world today who oppose the views of the United States and other free nations. Their strength and their resources are considerable. During and right after World War II, by Hooker Crook, they were able to bring into control approximately half the people on this planet. Their methods include any and every means to make gains on the free world, both in the matter of territory and influence. Thus, we live in a state of warfare in so-called times of peace. Around the globe, the enemies of freedom wage war in the field of international politics. Wherever there is fertile ground, they try to infiltrate and subvert free governments. And they do not shy from armed aggression where the odds are going with them. They nibble away at us on every turn. They have embarked on a huge shipbuilding program in order to challenge us at sea. And disturbing noises come out of China in the form of nuclear blasts.  Fortunately, communist successes over the past 25 years have been few. And the free world has more than held its own. We, the United States, and our allies are not only dedicated to meeting the threat. We know that very survival depends upon it. One unique and priceless advantage we have is the know how to use the seas. Two things combine to make the oceans of great importance to us in this global struggle. One, the alliance of ourselves and our friends is abandoning together essentially maritime or seagoing peoples. And the other is that so much of the Earth's surface is covered with water. So it is a natural thing for us to place substantial portions of our national strength at the fleets on the high seas in places they will do the most good. And so we do. We start with the premise that the United States Navy has given one whale of a job in sheer size alone. The Navy assignment amounts to responsibility for much of the ocean area. And that's a lot of homework. If one were to hitchhike with the astronauts, wherever he looked down, there would be stars and stripes on the sea. For the United States keeps four fleets deployed to meet its global commitments. The second and sixth fleets on the Atlantic side and the first fleets and the seventh fleet on the Pacific side. Of these, two are what we call forward area fleets. That is, they are the best position to represent us in places where trouble is likely to rear its ugly head. These are the seventh fleet in the Western Pacific and the sixth fleet in the Mediterranean. The others, the second fleet off our own east coast and the first fleet off our west coast, also have important jobs. For one thing, the potential enemy has hundreds of submarines, some of them nuclear powered and armed with ballistic missiles. So the second and first fleets have the most critical duty of guarding well the sea approaches to our own two coasts. In addition to that, these two home fleets function as training and backup forces for the two forward area fleets. So that in the Atlantic, we have a constant recycling of ships from the second fleet to the sixth fleet in the Mediterranean and back again. And the same thing happens between the first fleet and the seventh fleet in the Pacific. Thus, our numbered fleets man the free world ocean perimeter with general purpose naval force. They do so under what we call the nuclear umbrella or nuclear stalemate between the two great nuclear weapons powers. A part of that umbrella and separate from the four fleets, Navy's nuclear powered nuclear armed Polaris submarines carry a fair portion of America's big punch, sailing in the quiet dimensions of the sea. They are our strategic insurance policy. Their job is to help prevent thermonuclear war. The job of the four fleets is anything short of that. The business of the fleets is apt to be along the lines of more conventional warfare when necessary, is a ship. But ships in the fleet perform many jobs. A fleet is a fleet, but many forces and combinations of forces make it up. Whether the first, second, the sixth, or the seventh, each of our fleets will have elements and capabilities common to all. If a fleet is called upon to attack the enemy or to control airspace over a contested spot, floating mobile air bases, the attack carriers, go into action in the perfection of the world's best naval aviation, as witnessed by the truly high performance airplanes that operate from ships at sea. Once the power of ships was limited to the shoreline, their guns could reach. Now carriers reach far inland with strong jet hot fingers that do the bidding of the president and the American people. The cutting edge of present day Cold War fleets, they are proved expertly capable of many different tasks, from shooting to expressing United States intent with mere presence, to acting as good gray diplomats in foreign waters. If we were to keep fleets on global seas with the capability to control vast ocean areas if required, they must be made as nearly submarine proof as we can make them. For one of the facts of life in this fast moving age is that on rushing technology can work against us, as well as for us. A submarine is a good example. It's wonderful for our navy to have nuclear-powered truce submersibles capable of fantastic underwater speeds, able to stay down almost indefinitely and carry frightening armaments. But when they are in the hands of navies other than our own or our allies, then the wicket gets a trifle sticky. In addition to being a threat to our operating navy at sea, such a weapon, even with intermediate-ranged missiles, puts places as far inland as Kansas City on the terminal of an unpleasant trajectory. Bull-fashioned, air-breathing subs of World Wars I and II had an unholy advantage in stealth and concealment. The modern nuclear jobs are many, many times more dangerous. Anti-submarine warfare, therefore, claims a great amount of navy time, effort, and money. Unlike former times, the problem is not precisely the protection of ships and convoys. It is now overall control of the potential submarine menace in great expanses of ocean area. Almost every ship in the fleet has some ability to fight the submarine, but the larger task of cleansing say one million square miles of ocean space calls for teams of specialized ships, airplanes, and helicopters. That is because no single ship or weapon has been able to counter the submarine single-handedly. It takes the overlapping work of many. The job is tough, often tedious, and always painstaking. It is a job of detect, track, identify, and destroy. The anti-submarine force in the fleet has aircraft carriers with specially designed airplanes. Helicopters that stop and listen at the roof of the sea, ships that are loaded with detection instruments, destruct weapons, and the trained men to use them. Long-range land-based patrol planes that with radar and magnetic sensors open windows on the ocean. And even our own submarines are trained to hunt and kill enemy subs, stalking them in the silent depths in a ticklish and deadly game. All of these ships, aircraft, and weapons intermesh their particular talents to beat the submarine in what amounts to one of the fleet's most highly specialized and closely coordinated pieces of work, anti-submarine warfare. And the proof is in the pudding. Without reservation, our fleet commanders feel that these combined forces can keep the hostile submarine where it belongs on the bottom. Our modern fleet also has hands skilled at putting troops ashore from the sea. We call it amphibious warfare. It has proved to be one of our government's most useful negotiators in time of crisis. But a sea-born force can respond quickly if an ally or friendly nation needs help. And it can respond with precisely the right amount of power. A little? Essentially, the fleet amphibious force is an ever-ready group whose business it is to set fighting men on the hostile beach and keep them there until their job, whatever it is, is done. The Navy perfected techniques for amphibious assault during World War II and has since kept sharp the art. Many unusual and ingenious ships have been designed to take in the men who storm the beaches. And those who dropped farther inland by helicopter. Among them are the amphibious assault ships that launched the man with a gun and helicopters. They are another form of aircraft carrier. And their very names summon up action over the beach. Guadalcanal, Okinawa, Iwo Jima. Another key ship is the amphibious transport dock, which floods the after part of our insides to launch loaded landing craft. In addition, these ships have a helicopter deck, making a one-two punch of boats to the beach and aircraft over the beach. Other special purpose ships used by the amphibs are the attack cargo ship, attack transports, high speed transports, dock landing ships, the familiar but greatly modernized LST, and the horde of boats and landing craft that crunch onto the beaches with armed men. Amphibious warfare is a most potent capability of our fleets. The size of the operation may demand that every force in the fleet be used. Attack aircraft carriers for air superiority and close support of troops. Anti-submarine groups to sweep clean the depths. Cruisers and destroyers for gunfire support. Mine warfare units to lay or clear minefields down to individual frogman demolition teams to scout the beaches in clear traps. One other important group of ships rounds out the multi-fisted fleet. These are the cruisers and destroyers. Some of them propel by nuclear power plants. Many of them so loaded with guided missile and other sophisticated armaments that we might call them the Black Box Navy. Their service to air missiles protect carrier task forces. Their ASW armament makes them formidable against the submarine. And their highly developed communications gear for command and control take the electronic magic of computers into the fleet. Our American Navy is in the vanguard of world navies. As a nation, we have always sent the best of our technology to sea, and we still do. There is no better illustration of this than the way nuclear powered ships are finding their way into the fleet. The chief advantage of nuclear ships, of course, is their staying power. So important in these times of crisis. Freed from former space and weight requirements for fuel oil storage, nuclear ships have more room for other shipboard essentials. And the atomic power source permits more weapons and electronic equipment. The process of acquiring nuclear powered ships may be slow. But nonetheless, many reactors are on the horizon. When the Navy man thinks of his Navy's future, he's apt to think first about the all-nuclear fleet that probably will come. For with the atomic energy, our ships are cutting the black umbilical cords that for decades have tied them to mother tankers and lifeblood oil. And like the cutting of all umbilical cords, it means greater freedom of movement, greater range, and more options for action, which is both modern and diverse, makes them self-defending. But to keep them on station thousands of miles from home for fast response to the unexpected requires something else. They must also be self-sustaining. Our Navy makes them so, with hundreds of non-combatant support ships that hand-feed the fleets, supplying to the wants of warships, food for hungry sailors, ammunition, fuel, mail from home, spare parts. There are even repair ships and tenders that can within limits make repairs and give upkeep to the fighting units. These then are the fleets with which we use the many nations sees to our advantage. And this has been some small insight into their parts and the character of their parts. But when all is said and done, the good steel hulls, the lean and the squat and the tall are parts of America. Wherever they are, whatever they are doing, each ship's bell is freedom's bell. Each ship's mission performed is acted out by an eager minion of 200 million Americans. That is the meaning of the fleets, 10,000 fleets. And as the restless tides of men's affairs roll on, it is the modern fleet and being that will have much to say about directions those tides will take.


All right. Let's see. Altimer Fodd. I don't know if you've been reading about this, but it's funny because a few weeks ago I did a show where we talked about Altimer research and the fact that Altimer research was captured relatively early on by people who had a particular theory about what caused Altimer amyloid deposits and they restricted funding, they restricted publication, they restricted conference presentation for people who offered alternative theories and alternative research paths. This is part of the problem of having so much scientific research come from the government, get pushed through some kind of centralized entity that a few people can control it all. It turns out that amyloid deposits is probably not the right approach. Two Altimers were probably 20 years behind where we should be if we'd focused on other things. It turns out that one of the key papers that generated the amyloid hypothesis or that reinforced the amyloid hypothesis and that got people excited about it and that funneled so much energy and resources and money into it, it turns out that some of the images on it, the images that showed amyloid deposits in the brain were doctored, were doctored to make it look worse than it was, that doctored to make it look like something was there when maybe it was still there but weaker.  And think of the tragedy of something like this. The whole field has gone off in a wrong direction for, this was a study was probably 16 years ago, for 16 years, this is one of the most debilitating, horrible diseases there known to man today. It's an awful way to live, it's an awful way to die. And we could have been years, decades ahead of where we are, if the resources and the energy had gone into these alternative explanations, we maybe they would have come to nothing. But we'd be ahead in our knowledge because ruling out certain hypotheses advances knowledge. So I'm super upset about this but this is, this is part of the whole model of the way we've structured scientific funding, the way we've structured our universities, the way we've structured, publish or perish, the way we've structured our journals and the importance we put on journals and the way peer review works and the value of peer review or the disvalue of some peer review, real thought and effort needs to be put in into how to disrupt the whole model of academic research. And the problem is it's very difficult to disrupt a model that's being funded with tens, hundreds of billions of dollars by the government. So hard to tell, hard to tell, but it needs to be disrupted. The whole from basic research to publication to tenure to journals, something has to give, there's real corruption there, there's real bad stuff, the COVID brought it out with just ridiculous statements and publications on all sides. And the peer review process fell apart and who is a specialist, the idea fell apart, we could do better. There's no question in my mind, it can be done better.  It's way too hard, it's way way way too hard, there's so much money, there's so much talent and we're getting a fraction of the results we should be getting. A fraction given the potential that's out there, given the money, given the primarily, given the people, given the talent that is involved.

In producing Daredevil of Hollywood Good all right now now here's the idea you raise the road sit down the street Swing into the driveway pretty fast about 45 Go right on through the open doors of the brick garage and plow on through the back wall Bust the thing up as much as possible. You know what I mean That's the stuff all right everybody this is it watch it everybody Would the motion picture capital of the world? We bring you the thrilling true life experiences of those men behind the scenes those daring unsung heroes Whose breathtaking adventures on the screen have thrilled millions whose daily job bring them face-to-face with death Those men who comprise the strangest fraternity on earth the suicide squad the movie stuntman the dead evils of Hollywood Ladies and gentlemen in presenting this copyrighted radio feature We are privileged to have as our guest one of the top-notch stuntmen of Hollywood Cecil Kellogg it is through his cooperation that we are able to re-enact some of the highlights of his dangerous profession a Filling scenes you are about to hear are his own actual Experiences Mr. Kellogg is here in the studio right now and later in the program We will bring him to the microphone But first come with us as we turn back the calendar and witness some of the thrills which to him are all in a day's work At a small town railroad station in southern, California a special train is just pulling in it is early morning The station agent with wide-eyed interest watches the unusual passengers alighting from the train Presently a well-dressed man approaches him with a friendly greeting You'll be station manager.  You knew we were coming. Oh sure. The dispatcher called me on the telephone this morning. Gonna make a picture Hey, yes, that's a general idea. Say this time having a real boom Lots of excitement already. See we ain't never had a picture made here before. Well, that's good I hope everyone enjoys it. Oh by the way, where's the best place to get some breakfast? Well, all right, but one place is just cross the street over there. Oh, I see They serve good food. Well, son, if they don't just think what I've been going through here for 25 years I'll bet it's fine. I'll try it anyway. Are you going in for breakfast, Mr. Kimball? Oh, hello Cecil. I didn't see you Well, come on. We'll go into this restaurant. I'll go be your script with you while we have breakfast What did it be this morning? Oh, I think I'll have some ham and eggs and coffee make mine the same place Now here's the idea in a nutshell Cecil a passenger train passes the station platform at about 15 miles an hour I see and what do I do you jump onto the train from the platform Then you climb up on top of the passenger train The time you're up there, she's picked up pretty good speed and then well now by this time the passenger train has pulled alongside a freight train Which is going in the same direction about the same speed. I get it. They're alongside each other on double tracks. That's it. Exactly Now here's what you do You see Cecil this freight train is supposed to be running away You do a transfer from the passenger train to the freight No, I understand the story is that I get on the freight train and stop it. Is that right? That's the idea You see then there's another train coming from the opposite direction on the same track the freight is running on You're supposed to avert a head-on collision and thereby save the girl. I suppose That's right. Well, how does it sound? Tell the truth, Mr. Kimmel what the cook just said sounds better to me right now And now three hours later we find the picture company ready to shoot this dangerous scene The prospect of that hazardous leap from the top of one fast-moving train to another has been drilling phones into Cecil Kellogg's head for two hours His nerves are tense Anxious to get the scene made he stands on the station platform puffing a cigarette awaiting his cue Hurryed glances seek him out. Will he make the jump or will he at the last moment refuse to do it? And now the crucial moment has arrived. The director and his assistant have placed themselves with the camera cue atop one of the box cars Everything is in readiness Yeah, let's go All right, everybody here.  Yeah Here we come to the platform He's getting ready to jump on There he goes. That was a clean shot. Hey, this wrestler can really travel. Yeah, look down the track There's the freight. He's walking along waiting for us. You won't have to wait long Look at Cecil. He's climbing up the side There he's on top of the coach just ahead of us We're overtaking the freight train Look both trains are picking up speed. We haven't got much more speed to gain. Must be making about 45 now Keep those cameras going boys. He's getting ready to jump. See that winters about to blow him off of there It's all it can do to stand up. I'm perfectly satisfied so far. He's doing a small job People might got our speed. How does it look in the cameras boys? All right, now this is it. You're in the signal to jump There he goes. Oh boy. Look at him leave across there He landed on top of the freight. It is our pleasure to present the daring stuntman who made that thrilling scene Whose job takes him day after day into the very jaws of death It is with pride that we are able to introduce Cecil Kellogg Interviewed by Glenn Hardy. Well Cecil that one almost took my breath away. Say boy That certainly was a thriller. It kind of had me going for a minute Well, tell me Cecil were you scared when you fell and almost rolled off that train? Well, they may sound funny to you, but I wasn't scared at least not then though My mind was clear as a bell. I never thought faster or more clearly than I did right then And how did you feel when it was all over? I was limp as a rag. I'll bet you were now Cecil are you on call at all the studios? No, I'm under exclusive contract to Universal, but here's something else I'm interested in Cecil. Do you fellows go in much for well good luck pieces and things like that? I think many of the stuntmen do carry little trinkets of one kind or another just for luck Here's a pocket piece that I'm rather fond of That certainly is a dandy little gadget, isn't it? This is really clever Tell you what I'll do Glenn if you'll promise to carry this lucky piece with you always I'll give it to you. Oh now wait a minute Cecil that may have sounded like a pretty broad end on my part But it really wasn't meant that way at all. Well, I wouldn't think of taking your good luck piece from it Well, I really want you to have it. Just promise that you'll always carry it with you Well, all right if you insist Cecil, I promise and you may know that I'll consider it a prized possession Thanks a million, but now to get back to some more questions isn't timing very important in your work Yes, it is As an instance here take that buck board done. I did a few years ago a quick decision there probably saved not only my life But two others as well. We certainly do want to hear about that in just a moment Cecil But right now let's wait for a word from our sponsor All right, Cecil now what about that narrow escape? Well, it was on location up at Chasworth The idea was a runaway in a buck board a man and a woman were supposed to be in the rig My job was to ride up alongside the team on my horse and do a transfer Get a hold of the reins and stop the team, you know a rescue Now the only horses available that day were a couple of pretty wild ponies that had never been worked before And I was a little skeptical about the whole thing to begin with I told the assistant director so Now look Bob those horses are too frisky for this run. They've never done this sort of thing before there may be trouble I think Charlie can hold them. All right. He's a pretty good driver Besides there aren't any more horses we can use don't you think we'd better wait until tomorrow to make the shot We can get some other horses in the morning now Cecil's getting late. We really should get this shot today No, it's okay with me. Mr. Blackwell. I can take care of myself. All right I was just thinking of the other people. I know but we have every reason to believe that everything will be okay Let's do your best Cecil and give me this shot. Okay. Let's go. All right, everybody This is a take quiet, please This is it please you'll be heading for that big hole down there right beside the tree It's about seven feet deep. I see and I stopped the runaway horses before they get there if I'm able that's it All right, let's go. Hey charlie hold them back as much as you can now. Don't give them the line All right, go ahead boys camera Hey looks as though charlie gave them their heads. They're really running away. Yes. I'm afraid Cecil was right He's having a hot tough time catching them but he's getting on them They're headed straight for that big hole hurry. Cecil get up there boys. He's about to catch them Cecil that must have been pretty bad. Did anyone get hurt there? Yes, we were all bruised up pretty badly There's no bones broken though But it was a mean spell. Well, you didn't have much time to do anything with those horses, did you? No, I had to work fast You see they were headed straight for the center of that hole and if they'd run into it that way Well, the rig would have crashed right on top of charlie and the woman I see and how did you prevent that? Well, I pulled the horses to one side and we crashed into the edge of the hole You see that threw charlie and the woman clear. Otherwise, they would probably have been killed Well, I take it that you had to make the scene over next day after all Right. And this time we used the horses that were trained in that kind of work And I guess everything went off smoothly. Yep, slick as a whistle Well, Cecil you stuntmen certainly have some tough jobs to do but still it must be very fascinating Yeah, it's fascinating, but there's a lot of grief and stunt work. No glory and a lot of hard work It pays big money all right, but it's a tough business to learn And you take the chance of being crippled for life while you're getting the hang of it I'll bet you do. Well, Cecil, we've enjoyed your visit very much And on behalf of our listeners, I want to sincerely thank you for coming here I know that everyone joins me and hoping that we may have you on this program again very soon Take it easy old man and the best of luck

This is it. So we just put a dry nitrous kit on it. Yes, sir. We ran a 1050 on just the blower This winter we're gonna try to beat my record. We're gonna spray a little 50 drive side on it We sprayed it on the street Got FRP flying Ryan tuning but he says you should do with his dog So this one we're running 13 pounds of booze. It's on the 85 FRP flying Ryan tuning Now all that is helping us do what we're doing But this truck runs 1050s at 126 It's probably a round hill cap horsepower, I would assume I've never been on the actual good dyno All we do is drag race.  You can lose as much as a pound two pounds just on your Now going with something like this when you go water to air you've got a minimum area And volume I have to fill it so you're you're blower Whatever you want to run it's gonna fill that volume faster and pressurize it faster That's one reason I went to this and I came from going to the air to air setup to this That's not nothing no, that's a good bit I Mean your car would run the same setup that I'm running basically because it's a it's a gen three Hemi So that big pulley mounts to the front of that API puller behind it But I got I mean we got the drilling we got everything on YouTube It's I mean it's if you got a weekend or two where you can do it You can bolt it on yourself once I did the 426 sounds like all right. I'm getting a new daily Going to go The On just a blower my best right now is the 1056 125 and some change Without without spray. So we have a dry nitrous set up on it And I'll have jets for 35 and 50 Now we'll tell you on the street I bumped it and it definitely picks up any time you add nitrous on top of booze They won't go drag racing and you treat them decent and you got a good tune You'll be fine. Yeah, we'll take a lot for sure I really got a like seriously looked at the blower set up now just because like I yeah Because I went with the low compression build right I'm I'm significantly down on power What I would have been if I just kind of built it with like an a yeah with an a setup But I'm like, I don't want to leave it like that for longer


Oh, we skipped a slide, we didn't get a screen chance. We have a hashtag, hashtag, We Keep Women's Summit. Hashtag, We Keep Women's Summit.  We're gonna start now with our first session. And let me start by saying that while you're here, we are addressing misinformation, disinformation, missing information, and the people who are missing from giving information, but there are four people who are gonna start by sharing some information that they have. And now we turn it over to our AV team to bring up the first group of speakers. They're gonna be speaking and pre-recorded. I'm Clifford Anderson, member of the steering committee of the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group and also a founding member of the Women in Religion User Group. Together with my co-presenters, we'll be speaking about our experiment to use large language models or LLMs to converge it found that data, but allow me to let the other members of the group speak about their experience creating these experiments. I'm Lynn Harton, and I have been working with the Women in Religion Wikipedia Project since its beginning at the 2018 Parliament of the World's Religion in Toronto, Canada. The project started as an effort to address gender bias on Wikipedia. Our focus is the improvement of content on Wikipedia about the lies of cisgender and transgender women who are notable as scholars, activists, and practitioners in the world's religious, spiritual, and wisdom traditions. We are an international Wikipedia user group that meets multiple times a month to organize, edit, and train editors around the world. Recently, we have been meeting monthly with a group of women from Kenya to help with editing on women from their region of the world. Our aims are multiple. We recruit and train editors. We compile lists of notable women in religion that we work to enter onto Wikigata. We create articles and improve existing articles. And significantly, for this presentation, we create secondary sources about women in religion by means of the Women in Religion Biographical Series. Our focus on the creation of secondary sources is meant to address the difficulties encountered by editors who seek to write about women who have made significant contributions through their life works that remain undercovered in all types of media. We are a small group trying to accomplish a lot. Exploring the possibilities of AI offers us a research, editing, and writing tool that makes sense. When all the hype about AI serviced this past spring, the topic came up at one of our monthly meetings. After this discussion, several of us experimented with AI by using it to submit prompts asking for biographical summaries with citations. It was amazing to watch the text of these biographical summaries appear line by line on the screen. The summaries read well and sounded authoritative. However, because we had the published volumes in front of us, we were able to easily evaluate the accuracy of articles and the tendency of AI to hallucinate. In our discussions of our experiences, it occurred to us that we might be able to use the volumes to develop our ability to use AI as an editing tool that it would help us to create initial drafts of Wikipedia articles. We could see that we needed to learn how to create prompts that reduce the chances of AI using its predictive capabilities in ways that produce hallucinations. We also needed to figure out how to provide AI with the appropriate sources that would enable it to produce a useful draft article. I am definitely not a techie type of person. So having Clifford's expertise was critical. But I am a researcher who has made good use of the internet as a research tool which requires the ability to logically phrase and rephrase the questions I enter when I Google a topic. One of the main learnings in this experiment has been the refinement of our ability to create productive prompts. As well, our experience as editors of biographical articles on Wikipedia allowed us to rethink the prompt as a process or a series of questions designed within the framework of a Wikipedia article. Over the weeks that we conducted this experiment, the accuracy and quality of the draft articles we were able to produce improved significantly, which gives me much hope for AI as an editing tool. It also made it clear that that is what AI is, another editing tool. Human research and expertise are required. My name is Christine Meyer and I'm a long-time Wikipedia editor and contributor. And I'm a member of the Wiki Project Women in Religion. My username is figure skating fan. I've been editing and contributing to Wikipedia since 2007. Now, those are the days before Visual Editor and many of the other tools that make editing easier for us. Back then, you had to know how to use Wikimarka. You had to manually create references. Now, we still have to know those things, but it's so much easier now, especially for the new user, to begin to jump in and learn how to edit Wikipedia. The learning curve was steep, but we all did it because we had to. We all know what Jimmy Whales calls Wikipedia's prime directive. Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all of human knowledge. This is aspirational and a high and lofty goal, but something we've made real inroads in realizing. Of course, the gender gap in systemic bias in Wikipedia have prevented us from fully realizing this goal. We, of the Women in Religion Wiki Project, hope to have helped mitigate the barriers to fulfilling that goal, to having an inclusive, diverse, free encyclopedia, both in content and in bodies, in the form of editors and contributors to articles and biographies about specifically for our Wiki Project, Women in Religion. Perhaps artificial intelligence is a tool that can, like Wikimarka and other tools, that can help us in the goal of creating more content about and for women and other neglected topics. There's a lot to be afraid of about AI, but perhaps one of the ways that can be used for good, rather than for ill, is for the creation of more diversity on Wikipedia. Starting last spring, after discussing what everyone was talking about with AI, we in the Women in Religion Wiki Project started to do some planning around with chatGPT, and we decided that we would do more of a formal experiment to see how we could use artificial intelligence to help us create more articles and maybe even more high-quality articles. And so we're really excited to share some of the results of that experimentation that we've done throughout the summer. It's very, we're at the very beginnings of this experiment, but it's our hope that, not only we will be able to use our results, but that the editing community in general as a whole can use this. Hi, I'm Rosalyn Hinton. I've been working with the Women in Religion Wikipedia user group since 2018 when it was founded at the Parliament of the World's Religions. I've also been a Wikipedia since that time. In the past few months, we've been experimenting with AI to generate Wikipedia biographies that are reliable and to do it in a faster manner than we have been in the past. My first attempt was a query about a living womanist scholar on ChatGPT. At first, the ChatGPT gave us good information, but then it began hallucinating, which means it was making up stuff. So our group decided that we needed to feed the AI better information. The second attempt was on a Wiki writer I-Python notebook created by our colleague Clifford Anderson. This notebook populated AI with the scholar's research and some secondary sources. The AI generated a summary that could be used as a Wikipedia stub, but there needed to be a few modifications and some references added. On the third attempt, we added a number of questions that would generate a Wikipedia article. I uploaded the scholar's CV and a number of her research articles in a PDF format. The program actually generated a very competent Wikipedia article. It included her biography, her career, her education, her research interests, and her influence. However, the one thing that I would have had a little differently was a more diverse reference list. In summary, using AI isn't as scary as you think. We are already Wikipedia's gathering reliable sources and research. AI helps us to summarize this information and format it into a Wiki article very quickly. However, you do need to have a knowledge base in your field. You do need to have some knowledge of the scholar you're working on in order to catch mistakes. Where do we plan to go from here? We still hope to enhance our program's production of Wikipedia articles by enriching the vector database with additional reliable sources. We'd also like to expand our software's compatibility to include other formats beyond PDF such as HTML pages and Word documents. We also want to refine our prompts for improved outcomes. In the long run, our goal is for the augmented LLM to draft credible articles that our members can review, edit and, ultimately, if they deem worthy, publish them on Wikipedia. As noted at the outset, addressing the existing imbalances on Wikipedia is a complex task. But if artificial intelligence can help us remedy existing bias more efficiently, we as a group are eager to explore its potential. Okay, thank you for that presentation and I think the future has come. We have been presented with a large language model. Now, thank you for your presentation.


So this morning was brigade run for first aviation brigade two reasons first is that it's army aviation 39th birthday today and the second is that the month of April is sexual assault awareness and prevention month So we want to highlight Sexual assault and sexual harassment our formation and our need to to eradicate it So the the theme for 2022 Sexual assault awareness and prevention month is prevention starts with you and that's a perfect motto for first aviation brigade as a training brigade setting the foundation for a career in army aviation and for all of our soldiers and we Explain to them and teach them that setting an example and setting standards and enforcing those is vitally important So this fits right in line with that
