Those excellent California wines that can add so much pleasantness to the way you live, to your happiness in entertaining guests, to your enjoyment of everyday meals. Yes, right now, a glassful would be very pleasant, as Roma Wines bring you J. Carol Nash in a remarkable tale of... Suspense! Ever ride a commuting train? If you have, you probably don't take anything of it. Not if you're one of the regulars. Commuters are just people coming from one place and on their way to going someplace else. What happens in between doesn't mean a thing. They don't remember it afterwards. They don't see the scenery. They look right at faces beside them and don't see them. I know. I used to ride the 8.15 into the city to work every morning and a 5.45 home in the evenings. Yeah, I used to ride the trains. Could I buy you for a match? Oh, man. Yeah, let's mine at the office. Where I work, Consolidated Press. The wire service, you know. Don't say. Oh, I'm not one of the reporters. Here's a book of matches, Keaton. Thanks. Now, I repair teletype machines. You know, the machines that print the news when it comes in and relay it out to the newspapers all over the country? Don't say. Funny trace, people get it. Now, me, I was a speed typer. So on my shift was a telephone man. Both wind up in the same place, repair and teletype printers. There's a whole profession, you know. Most people don't know it exists. But there you are. They break down just like any other machine. Oh, uh, what's your line? Look, I'm sorry. These rides are the only time I have to go over my report. Oh, sure, sure. I didn't mean to put in. I just thought maybe I'd sing in the Laurel Creek station. No, not my station. I see a lot of people waiting for the train there, but I never get to know them. Oh, uh, my name's Bert Gavin. It's all right. Keep the matches. I got another book. You ride right along beside the same people, or the same kind of people anyway, for weeks, months, years. Who knows you're there? The same conductor see every day, and still they ask you, what's your station? I got so I took it for granted like any other commuter. Then I got to thinking about it again, especially on the down Peninsula runs, going home to that house, that house that didn't have any leaven in it anymore. I said I lived in Laurel Creek. Well, that was my station. Only where I lived was on the wrong side of the tracks. The house was so close to the tracks, we couldn't have a backyard for the rails. Every time a train had to go by to shake the whole house, the walls would shake, the windows would rattle, the ground would shake under the foundations. It was like living on the edge of a volcano. As I walked into the house that night, the base I had limited was just coming through. Maybe I want to have dinner with my loving wife for a change. Well, you won't. There's nothing in the house. How could we rustle up some scrambled eggs or something? I told you there's nothing in the house. What were you going to eat? I was going out if you want to know. Who is? Well, it's none of your business. It's out going, isn't it? You've been seeing him again, haven't you? Well, what if I have? I don't want you to see him. I'm your wife. Kitty, you didn't think of that when you moved me out here to sticks. Well, your boyfriends don't seem to have any trouble locating you.  Well, you don't have to stay in it. No, I don't. But you do. And every time that train goes by in the night, I like it. You don't sleep so good, do you, Bert? The trains get on your nerves, too, don't they? I guess that's something you didn't figure on. Hey, maybe you have a figure on more than you think. What do you say that for? And what are you simplin' about? What's the matter, Alva? You sound like you're scared of me. Of you? Don't make me laugh. And don't make a scene when Alf comes by to pick me up. You know what happened the last time. But it won't happen again. The last time, me, isn't it? I move you to the country to keep you away from the juke joint so he drives out here to see you. The country. You call this the country. A shack on the railroad tracks. You bring me here. You must be crazy to think anybody could turn over a new leaf in a place like this. Yeah. Maybe I am crazy, but not the way you think.  What time do you say Alfa's coming to pick you up? Seven o'clock. That's fine. That's perfect. I just have time to catch the 7-15 back in the town and earn that overtime. Well, what are you waiting for? It's about time for the 6-45 to pass by, isn't it? Yeah. Do stay and enjoy it, Bert, dear.  Ah, there it is. Here it comes. Ah, it's a minute early this evening. Bert, what's the matter with you? That poker. What do you think I came home early the night for? Give you three guesses. Right. Nobody saw me leave the office. The watchman was asleep. He'll still be asleep when I get back. As far as the police will know, I never left there. I was there all night fixing the printers. Earning my overtime. Bert, don't do it. You'll never get away with it. Everybody saw you coming out in the train. It'll be the same going back. You can't help being seen. So many people on those trains. What you don't know, honey. What you don't know. I'll scream. I'll scream so loud the neighbors will hear. Nobody's going to hear anything except this train. Here, there's a big baby now. A nice long train. Long and loud. Go ahead.  Bert, put that down. You don't know what you're doing, Bert. Get away from me. I'll fight you. Please. Please. Stop. Stop. J. Carol Nash in Commuter's Ticket. A radio play by Roy Grandy and Robert Talman.

The main was gone and so was that awful feeling inside. I just stood there looking down where I'd knocked it. In the quiet there wasn't any reason for what I'd done. I was sorry kind of. I didn't want her dead now. But I had to follow it through. I had to work fast. Alf was coming forward at seven. He'd find her body. Maybe they'd try to hang it on him. That was a laugh.  I had to wipe it off, though. Those small sounds a man makes when he's alone around the house. I heard every step I took. I'd have given anything for another train to break up the silence. But there wouldn't be another train to the one I had to get on. I had to work fast so I was going to catch it. I opened a broom closet and got out of the step ladder. I set the ladder up and climbed to the top of it, feeling dizzy. What I wanted was in a pewter mug on top of the sideboard. I got in a hurry and climbed down. It was over 2,000 bucks in cash. I gave it for a long time. I needed it now. I might not be coming back to this house. I had to put a ladder away and straight out of there before Alf put in his appearance. The buzzer stopped me cold. It was him all right. I could see a shadow on the frosted glass of the front door. In a minute he tried the door. I didn't know whether it was locked or not. I didn't wait to see. I hid out the back way. The door that opened only a couple of feet from the railroad tracks. The three seconds flat I was scrambling up over that great steak fence and the tracks lurching over the railroad tracks. There was a plan, that neat plan, so nobody would see me. I got away mapped out, but that way it was out the front door. Now everybody in all the houses along the tracks could see me. Maybe not though. People there don't look out through those dirty windows any oftener than they have to. At the station, I huddled back on a bench in a darkest corner and waited. I got on with the others. Lost in the crowd. I walked through just like all the communities. Took the first good empty seat I found. A whole seat to myself. Mind if I sit here? Oh, no, no. I just thought maybe your wife... Wife? Well, that may be that you were holding this seat for somebody. Oh, no, no. No, it's okay. Oh, thanks. Well, say this suits me.  Yes, sir, my name's Elmer Russell. What's yours? You must not ride on the trains very much. You guessed it. From what I hear, people don't meet up with each other very much, not on these commuting trains. I only use them since I'm working night. I used to drive in. Now? Hey, hey, what did you do to your hand? My hand? What? Well, you must have cut yourself. Look, it's all covered. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, excuse me. Just saw a friend of mine going in the car ahead. I wanted to see him on a matter of... I rushed on out of the car on my heart pounding. I went in and washed my hands. Out of all the passions down that train, I had to get beside somebody who didn't have the commuter's habit. And blood on my hands. Well, what was the difference? Nobody ever questioned him about me. The train lurched as I started down the aisle at the next smoker. Hey, hey, watch it. What's the big idea? Sorry. The train gave a lurch. Sorry. Well, you don't have to cry about it. Just watch it. Yeah. Hey, wait. What? Help me pick up these dominoes. Oh, go on. Chase yourself. Hey, come back here. What's the big idea? Gee, I should have helped them pick them up. He'd remember. He'd remember that my being rude. Maybe not, though. Commuters. Commuters are used to rudeness. I hurried on to the next car. They shut the door behind me and leaned back against it, feeling weak and dizzy. People near me looked up and stared at me. They must have looked pretty sick, judging by the way I felt. I grabbed the first vacant seat and fell into it. Wow. Look what just dropped down from the sky. Hey, can't keep us from having that sport, can they? Well, what's your limit, friend? 10% a point? I don't tell us you don't play bridge. You'd be the first commuter I ever met on this run that didn't play bridge, huh? Oh, sure. Sure, sure. I play it. I'm not very good, though. But I'd be glad to play. Good, good. You keep score, Jack. Sure. Well, ace of spades. Looks like you're lucky night, fellas. Yeah. What's your name, by the way? Name? Yeah, for the score pad. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for the score pad. Don't hold up the game, Jack. Just write down Mr. X. Oh, that's good. Easy to remember. My name's Sam. Sam Cartwright. Okay, Sam. All right, let's see now. Who dealt? I played cards. What I picked up to lay down, then I can't remember. I could hardly see the spots on them. I was thinking of Alva's face lying there in that miserable house by the tracks where I'd left it. That had happened. The one they called Jack had just said... It happened. It was only the train going through the tunnel, but it brought it all back. A scream and the train roaring by, the whole house shaking. When I heard that squeal, my arms jerked up. What all I did, I don't know. What's the matter, Sam? Oh, nothing, I... Well, play. We won't finish your rubber at this rate. Play. Play, yeah. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry, Donna. I thought there was another trump up. Sorry. Your race takes it, Chum. Yeah, I thought you said you didn't play much, Sam. Never seen such luck. Your deal, Whitney. Excuse me, Jeff, did all your tickets? Oh. Yeah. I guess my coat was over the seat checker. That's all right. Hey, wait, conductor. Yeah? You didn't get Sam's ticket. Yeah, Sam's too lucky. Can't let him get away with a free ride. I was back in the other car. Where was that? Well, to tell the truth, I forget whether I paid or not. I'll buy a ticket, though, just to be sure. Sorry to bother you. Here, I'll just take some change out of my wallet. Hey, there's your regular monthly commuter's ticket, isn't it? Oh, yes, sir. I thought I left at home. That's all right, Mr. Gavin. Gavin, I thought you said your name was Cartwright. I... Oh, this is my brother-in-law's ticket. Oh, I see. Come on. Come on, you guys. Pick up your card. Yeah. I pass. No bid. I see. Buy me. Never seen a Rottener hand. Me either. But Sam's gonna bid, though. Sam doesn't get Rottener hands. Oh, no. No. Hey, what's the matter with you anyway? Dick, what's the matter with you? Oh, I'm all right. Leave me alone, will you?  All right, all right. Just wait until the train gets by. There's a noise. I can't concentrate. It wasn't a passing train, not this time. It was the cards in my hand. I saw them all at once. It was a hand culvert's and might have written a book about. It was more than just a grand slam. I had every face card in the deck, but I wasn't gonna be noticed on that train.  Oh, come on. Bid, man. Bid. Yeah, all right. Say, I guess we'd better have a read deal. Where are the good cards? Somebody's gotta have them. Say, the train's gettin' proud of us. Sure is, mister. Oh, I'm sorry, madam. Please take my seat. Well, thank you, Terry. What's the idea? Oh, the cards all over the floor. Hey, hey, where you going? Sorry, next to my station. So long. I got out of show on that hand, but they was that abrupt departure to remember. And I'd given my seat to a woman. You don't see people giving seats to ladies very often these days. The next car I stopped on the island stood wedged in tight by the crowd. I was shaking, so it must have attracted attention. Then a conductor came through. Ticket? Ticket? Didn't get your ticket. You punched my ticket. It was in the other car. I was playing cards, remember? Remember? Let me think now. No, no. It's all right here, here. I have my commuter's ticket. You can punch it again. Oh, here. It must be in my other pocket. Gee, when I put it, I couldn't have lost it. Well, never mind this time. But after this, take your seat check along from car to car. It makes a lot of trouble for us when you don't. Then you do remember? Well, never mind about that. Tell me, do you remember punching my ticket? Do you remember me? I can't say as I do. One face gets to be just like another when you work the train so long. I'll just take your word for it. It would be easier from then on if that conductor didn't take any notice of me than nobody would. Once they stopped jittering, people stopped staring at me, or maybe I just imagined it was staring at me. Nobody watching for me at the station at San Francisco. I lost myself in the crowd and was back at the building where I worked before 8 o'clock. The watchman was asleep the way I'd figured he'd be, the way I'd planned it. I'd gone under the locker room before I left there and put a slug of sleeping medicine in it. It was coffee thermos that had put a horse to sleep. Now, there was no danger of his waking up. But I tiptoed past him just to make sure. I went into the big room where the printers were. They were running just like I left them. No paper snag, no carriage is stuck. None of the operators had called in. They had. I could just say I'd gone up for a sandwich. I guess I know how to fix teletypes all right. To keep them running or to stop them running. I fixed a couple of those so nobody could say they hadn't broken down. Of course, the papers had kicked plenty about losing all that news. My office had kicked plenty, yeah. Kicked me right into the proof of where I'd been all night. It was daylight before I left. On the way out, I tripped over the night watchman. I wanted him to see me leave, but he didn't stir. I shook him a couple of times, but he hadn't wake up. So I stamped my card myself and went on my way. He'd give the right testimony in any case. He wouldn't dare admit he'd been asleep on the job. I bought a loose paper and started for the depot feeling pretty good. Wasn't anything in the paper about what I'd done to Alva. I was sure there wouldn't be. I had one eye on the city news ticker all night. Maybe Alv didn't go in. Maybe they hadn't found a body yet. That's what I kept telling myself, yeah. Yeah, that's what I kept telling myself. Uh, Mr. Gavin. I'm Burke Gavin. Detective Inspector Daniels. I'd like to ask you a few questions. Oh, certainly Inspector. What is it? Well, first, I think you'd better give an account of your movements last evening and last night. Well, that's easy enough. I spent the whole night at Consolidated News where I worked. A couple of machines broke down, and I had to stay there and repair them. Fixing the teletype printers, that's my job. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. You're under arrest, Mr. Gavin, on suspicion of murder. Oh, no, no, no, wait a minute.  I don't know what happened here, but I've been there the whole night, and I can prove it. I've got my time card and a night watchman as a witness.  Oh, well, what do you mean?  Oh, well, listen, I don't get it. I told you the truth. He was alive at six o'clock this morning. He stamped my time card. I think we'd better go somewhere private where we can take down your statement. Okay, okay, but listen, Inspector, you're on the wrong track. Honestly, why did I take such pranes to prove I was there last night if I was the guilty party? Well, I suppose you figured there's no use lying about what we can prove.  My life? Yeah. Oh, we got a little trouble locating her, but she gave us a statement. What'd you locate her? In the hospital.  Oh, is she all right? Oh, sure, sure. Luckily, a friend dropped in just after it happened, and they got her to the hospital in time. Well, listen, listen, you've got to take me there. You've got to see her right away. Yeah, sure, sure. After we get your statement and the money. What money? Why, the money you killed the watchman for, a little over two thousand bucks, wasn't it? See, the way we got it figured, you put sleeping stuff in his coffee and then went after the safe. He came to and surprised you, so you let him have it with a wrench. Being dopey and an old guy was just too much for his heart. Oh, we got you cold, Gavin.  Nice, fresh prints. Oh, listen, you got me all wrong. What time did it happen? Oh, about 7.30, the doctor figures. Then I can prove I didn't do it. I was home at a quarter of seven, and I took the 7.15 back to town. My wife will tell you that. Will she? The way she told it to us, she weren't home at any time, and if I'm any judge of people, she'll stick to that story. But I can prove I was on that train. I talked to people. I lost my commuter's ticket. The conductor will remember me. Yeah. Most of those people will be on the train again tonight. They'll remember. I had a seven-year-old Trump-handed bridge. Oh, they'll remember. There must be somebody who'll remember me. Oh, that's all right. We'll take enough trips to strike an average. Oh, dear. Dear, this woman. Hello, dear. Do you remember me? I beg your pardon? Two nights ago on this car. Remember, I gave you a seat. Oh, how considerate. Do you remember me? Let me think, dearie. Try to place his face, lady. No, I really couldn't, dearie, but I just wish somebody would give me a seat now. I've been afraid she'd remember me. While we walked through all the cars, I couldn't find any of the other witnesses, not even the conductor. But Daniel was understanding. He let me try the 7-15 with him the next night. I played bridge with you. I gave you my name as Sam, Sam Cartwright. No, I'm afraid I don't place you. But I was winning all the time. I even had a seven-year-old Trump-handed. I haven't seen the hands like that in years. You must have mistaken us for somebody else. Oh, here, here. At last, you'll remember me. Well, if you don't mind, I have this reading that I... We met the other night five nights ago at once. Is that so? Yeah, remember, you said you wanted a regular commuter so I knew you're the one person who wouldn't forget me. Remember, I cut my hand. Five nights ago? Well, I've been riding the trains all the time since then. I'm afraid one face is getting to be much like another. Well, that does it, Gavin. Come clean now. But I did take the 7-15 that night. I'm telling the truth. There. There, that's the conductor. I'm on the platform. Look, I found the conductor. Why bother, Gavin? Conductor, do you remember seeing me on this one a week ago? Well, I'm afraid one face is pretty much like... Oh, I know, but I lost my commuter ticket. We talked about it. Lost the commuter ticket? What's the name? Wait, Gavin, can't you remember me? No, but I might have some tickets here. I find a few strays once in a while. Oh, that's it. That's my ticket. Let me see that. My ticket. There's my name on it. See? You found this on the 7-15? Well, mister, couldn't say what round it was. They shuttle the cars around, you know? That's what I thought. Anything else? No thanks, conductor. That's all I needed. From murder, I didn't commit. That was a funny part of it. Daniel's was the right guy, though. He gave me one last chance to establish my alibi. The hospital alber refused to see me, but Daniel's a great seer himself and questioned her about my story. I was home at the time of the murder. I waited in the corridor outside Alba's room. He was in there almost an hour. Well, Gavin... Did you get anywhere? Did she tell you anything? Yeah. Yeah, she told me plenty.  I couldn't have murdered the watchman? She signed a detailed statement to that effect. So my alibi's good. Sure, I couldn't have killed the watchman. Oh, your alibi for the watchman will stick all right, Gavin. But, uh, I'm afraid we'll still have to hold you for murder. But... You see, your wife just made a new statement telling us what actually happened when you came home. Well, yeah. Yeah, sure. Well, we had a quarrel. I'm sorry. Matter of fact, I should have told you. And, uh, just after she signed the statement, she passed away. What? Dead? She dead? Are you sure? Oh, there's no doubt about it, Gavin. Well, it's getting late. I gotta check in. You were ready to go? Yeah. Yeah. You think they'll give me an inside sell? I can get you one if you want it. Thanks. Thanks a lot. I'd like that. Nice and quiet. Away from the train. Suspense. Presented by Roma Wines. R-O-M-A. Made in California for enjoyment throughout the world. Before we hear again from J.

Alright guys, so with the release of iOS 17, it came this new feature called Interactive Widgets. This basically allows you to add widgets to your home screen on your iPhone that you can interact with directly inside that widget without having the need to click on the widget to go and open up the main app. I want to showcase my top five interactive widgets at this stage. Although this is quite new, there's a lot of companies that are still developing this, so there's not like hundreds and hundreds of different types of apps that support interactive widgets at this point. And of course, it's going to be more and more as time passes. But at this very early stage, these are the ones that I find to be most practical that you can use on a daily basis. Let's take a look at how interactive widgets work. Okay, so the first one here is called to-do list. This is very simple. You can create a whole bunch of tasks that you have to schedule for your to-do list, for your shopping, whatever you want to. And then you can actually tick them off directly from inside this widget. If I just show you the app itself, I've scheduled a whole bunch of sample things that I need to perform myself. You can go back and you can create as many lists as you want from all these different types of categories. So things you want to schedule up front, your shopping list, just a generic to-do list. You can have a work list. And if you get the premium version, you can create as many lists as you like. So if we go back to the home screen, you can see I've got five things scheduled. I've got five things I got on my shopping list. All I need to do is just tap that from inside the widget and it marks it as done. Very simple, very clean, very nice little interface that we have there. And you can also see things that are due to be completed by end of today. I can go ahead and mark all of these as and when I need to. So I don't ever have the need to open up the app directly. And this is a very nice app. And I'll link all of the apps from the App Store down in my description below. Second, this is called a simple calculator widget. And it's in the name. You can just set up a little calculator from your home screen without looking for the actual calculator app. And of course, you know what this is for. So you can just do your calculations directly from here. And it's very nice and easy to use. I've only found there's only a couple of interactive calculator widgets on the market at the moment. And of course, there will be a lot more as time passes. But this is quite nice and clean and just to have it there. It kind of resembles when I used to have a calculator in the side panel of Mac OS, which they removed as a widget. But nonetheless, you can have this on your home screen for iOS 17. Next, this is called Spark Mail. And this is a very nice way to have all of your emails displayed in an inbox widget like this. And as you can see, I have seven unread emails at the moment. And I can just go in and just tick these as read if I wanted to directly from inside the widget.  Now, if I go back to the home screen, all I can do is just tick one of these to mark them as read. Like so. And you can see the numbers are reducing. And it's a very quick and easy way to manage all of your emails directly from the home screen. And you can have one or multiple different inboxes set within this app. Next, this is called Home Widget. This one, if you use Home Kit for iOS to set up all of your smart devices around the house, whether that's your TV, your lights or anything like that, you can now control them directly from this interactive widget here. And it's a very convenient way just to have access to all of your devices and maybe have them as a quick access place when you're doing certain things around the house. Even if you come home or leave home, you can just quickly access things from here to turn off the lights, for example. And just as a very simple example, I'm going to use the torch button there to turn my torch on. It does pop open with a little view screen here, which is not actually inside the main app. And if I turn over the phone, you can see the torch is now on. And I can turn it off and you can see it's now off. This does actually perform the action by giving you an open preview of the app. But as soon as you've pressed it from this widget, it actually does perform the action straight away, which is actually quite nice. And if you just want a very quick and easy way to perform that specific action, you can do it from using a widget like this. Next, this is one of my nicest apps that I've tried with the interactive widget. You can see here, I've scheduled a whole bunch of tasks. This app is called Smart Timetable. And it allows you to create a multiple list of tasks that you need to undertake or you can create a schedule for things like your school, college, university, or even your workplace and any meetings and durations that you may have. And if you're someone that's very busy all the time, this is going to be a very convenient app for you. I've created a little sample school schedule inside the app as a timetable. And you can see here, the clock is actually ticking, letting me know that my geography lesson has about 50 minutes left inside that lesson because that started at 11.15. It's now 11.25. And there's still some time left to go until the next session. So that is currently what is in progress right now. And that's actually quite nice to see. Now, if I wanted to take off any tasks that I have due, I can just take that from there and that will disappear as well. Let's go ahead and open the app. You can see I've scheduled all of these tasks. The ones that I've ticked from the widget have been ticked here. If you go back to schedule, this is where I've created my schedule for this day. Of course, you can create schedules for every single day. You don't necessarily need to create a schedule based off of a school or college. You can see here, this is the standard information that is set by default. Class type, building room and teacher. You can customize these, delete these and create any type of schedule that you want that relates to your scheduling needs. So whether that's for your workplace or your office, you can actually customize the fields that you want to display for your schedule. This is quite a nice app as well. And visually, I think it's one of the nicest interactive widgets that I've seen so far. So those are my top five interactive widgets that I've come across on the App Store. And just as a fun one, I'm going to give you one bonus one as well, which is for in a road widget. This is kind of like a nice little game that you can play. It's quite popular in the UK. This is referred to as Connect 4. You can start playing one player as well. And all you need to do is just stop and the computer will automatically make their moves. It's a great way to pass the time. Maybe you're on the train, you're commuting to work and you just want to have a bit of fun playing a game. Then this is actually quite a nice widget to have. And you can just do it directly from the home screen. You don't ever need to leave. If you wanted to reset, you can also just reset from the widget itself. And there we have it. Those are my favorite interactive widgets that I've come across on the App Store on the release of iOS 17. And if you guys come across any other interactive widgets that you'd like everyone else to know about, make sure to put that in the comments down below. Hopefully you found that useful. Make sure to follow me for more tech gadgets and reviews and iPhone iOS tutorials in the near future. Like this video and I'll see you at the next one. Take care.


My name is Amin Saqqal, Director of the Center for Arab and Islamic Studies at the Australian National University. With me I have the Honorable Hamid Ansari, the former Vice President of India, a very distinguished diplomat as well as a scholar and of course with a very credible public service career behind him. Mr. Ansari, welcome to the AENIA media. Thank you. Thank you Amin. Thank you for being... Given that you have had a very colorful and eventful career, how do you think that the world has changed during your time? Well, I am a man of the last century considering that I finished my university in 1959-60. I started my diplomatic service in 1961 and finished in 1999 and thereafter I have done so many other things. So I can really talk more about the last century and partially about the first decade and a half of this century. And how do you think that the world has really changed from the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century? Or are we really witnessing a big shift from the... or power shift for that matter from the West to the East? Well firstly the world has changed in this technological sense which is most obvious and visible. Whether thought patterns have kept pace with the technological change, I am not so sure. And I am constantly reminded of what the philosopher Hegel said that the owl of Minerva begins to fly only with the falling of the dust. Well the owl of Minerva hasn't quite started flying yet and as we have seen in the last 15-18 years of the present century, human wisdom in greater measure could have done things in a very different way and would have saved a great deal of misery. So but do you see a dramatic shift from the West to the East in terms of power politics as well as overall balance of power? Oh the shift had started much earlier. The shift had started really with the decolonisation process. The liberation of great many countries starting with India of course in 1947. And the neighbourhood of India right up to Indonesia, Malaysia, in Asia and last but not the least the great eruption of freedom movements in Africa. And you have seen what has been India's role in this? Oh India has been in the forefront of this. Absolutely in the forefront for two or three very obvious reasons. One the leaders of the Indian freedom movement were very aware of the world outside. People like Gandhi, people like Nehru, they knew what was happening in the world outside and they were very active. In fact it was the freedom of India which set the pattern for freedom of a great many other countries. And as vice president I have travelled a good bit in Africa, East, West and Central and everywhere the same compliment was paid that you were the flag bearer, you showed us the paths and we followed. And where do you think India is heading now? Oh India is doing very well technologically. We are right up front as far as modern technologies are concerned. You would have heard or read about the Indian mission to the Mars space program. It's one of the great success stories. We were able to do it at first shot and at a fraction of the cost which other space powers have incurred. You have served for two consecutive terms and for that matter it has been unprecedented as vice president of India and more importantly you are a Muslim. How do you see the relations between Muslims and Hindus and India and how is that really progressed over the years? Well first thing first India has a Muslim population on last count a little over 185 million which makes India definitely the third possibly the second largest Muslim population in the world. I mean the first is Indonesia the second could be either India or Pakistan or Pakistan or India. So Indian Islam and Muslims in India are not a new phenomena. This is not like what has happened in first world war 2 in Europe for example or United States or Canada. Muslims have been there for over a thousand years and they have been part and parcel of Indian life they have integrated well and they continue to be an important segment. They are 14.3% of the total population of India. But there may have been some challenges over the years. Oh yes the challenges have been there all the time the challenges were starting with the advent of the British in the beginning of the 19th century the process which was completed around the middle of the century. I mean the British formally took over the rulership of India in all parts and that meant you know strategic change cultural change because the Muslim ruling class in many parts of India not all parts in many parts of India suddenly found itself completely. And do you see a bright prospects for the continuation of relatively peaceful coexistence which really existed or future. Oh yes, yes mind you India with its population of 1.3 billion huge population there are always some kind of social tensions or the other. There may be economic tension there may be just interpersonal tensions sometimes they take the form of community tensions but by and large in terms of the Indian thought process and governmental policies the approach is to promote cooperation to promote conciliation where there is need for conciliation. But I suppose one thing which really served India very well it is its democratic framework and the political pluralism which really exists within that framework. Absolutely I think we can take credit without being immodest about having done it way back 70 years ago the constitution making started one year before the British left that was 1946 they left in 47. We completed the making of the constitution by middle or end of 1949 promulgated the constitution in January 1950 and since then it has been the same constitution and the same institutional structure that was put in place we've been through 16 general elections innumerable state elections democracy has become almost part of the Indian DNA. So it's very important that politics is institutionalized in India. Oh very much so very much so it would be very remiss of me not to ask you a question about the state of relations between India and Pakistan how do you see that the relationship is going now well between neighbors there are periods of joy and there are periods of sorrow right now I would wish it to be different I think we are going through a bad patch bad patch in the sense not of fighting but of great deal of tension in relations ultimately it all boils down to one thing we've been having trouble like so many other countries in the world and having trouble for variety of reasons of people from coming across the border or being encouraged from across the border in acts which are unlawful terrorism is a phenomena which is well in its modern manifestation it's not a new phenomena it's always been there ancient times we had a great political strategist we call him the Machiavelli of ancient India Chanakya who wrote a book on state craft called Arthur Shastra and he described terrorism as secret war now you had in the Middle Ages in Central Asia the assassins but I suppose to confront terrorism there is a strong need for cooperation between India and Pakistan well there is need for cooperation there is need for contestation because you see practical state craft always operates at multiple levels there is a formal level in which everybody's swears by the Constitution the Charter of the United Nations there are no two views about it but there are other levels at which countries operate and India Pakistan are the only ones it is true of every country there are subterranean levels where you try to drive the point home by making the other person feel uncomfortable but we see a viable resolution of the conflict between India and Pakistan mind you the last war we fought was in 1971 so we've had a long period of peace we've had lots of tensions but the communication has never really stopped even today when there is no formal communication the certain agencies of the government continue to be in touch with each other to ensure that things don't go out of control as my last question may ask you what's your assessment or your general assessment of the Muslim world and where the Muslim world is going from your perspective the Muslim world is in chaos quite honestly and when you say Muslim world you mean there are two meanings which can be taken one is Muslim countries or countries with Muslim majorities they can start from Morocco in the west come all the way down to Indonesia Malaysia Brunei in the east the central portion North Africa and West Asia people call it Middle East in India it has never made sense to us to call it Middle East because for us Middle East is beyond beyond Singapore we call it West Asia which is a geographical description and this region has been in turmoil it has been in turmoil for a variety of reasons it will take a little time to dilate on that the fact is that it has a certain centrality with regard to the rest of the world and particularly with regard to the Western world and because of that proximity and centrality it has always been the target of Western political overtures starting with classical age of European imperialism and it has continued in different forms to this day. What do you think a country like Australia or what role a country like Australia can play in terms of really improving the relations or the tense relations which at the moment exist between the Muslim domain of a talk to talk about it in that sense so which is very pluralist and particularly the West. You say the whole question is are you sane or are you obsessed there is a great deal of talk these days about you know well to use a current expression Islamophobia because that's a counter question to what was said in West Asia as Islamism now there's nothing new about either Islam as a religion has been around for 15 centuries Muslim people have been around most of the time this is a history of peaceful living peaceful cooperation there have been periods of tension you can go back to Crusades in West Asia you can go back to post-colonial period there have been times when countries in West Asia have been seen as great allies of Western powers enemies of Eastern powers there have been times when the position has been completely reversed so it is more to do with geopolitics rather than with religion but we think there is a need for a country like Australia to engage in certain foreign policy actions which could really contribute to the improvement of relations between the Muslim domain and particularly the West. Yes as long as it is based on sound principles Australia is a founding member of the United Nations subscribes to all the all the principles of the United Nations but sometimes you tend you're also a member of various alliances some of those alliances have gone in different directions at different times this morning's Canva times carries an article talking about the horrendous mistake that Australia made in West Asia particularly in relation to Iraq and saying that despite knowing now all the consequences of that mistake the matter has yet to be discussed publicly politically so you know the point is what where do you take your position do you want to be a member of an alliance right or wrong or do you want to be an country in your own right which you are and make your own judgments in India we have always taken the view that we will not be part of alliance and we'll be friends with everybody but we will not be part of alliances because being a member of an alliance in a formal sense means signing away your freedom to make your own judgments we are we adopted that approach during the Cold War with great benefit to ourselves and it was greatly appreciated we continue to follow that approach today things have changed the nature of combinations has changed but our approach is make your own judgments don't be swayed by judgments being made by other people elsewhere for other reasons and of course India was founding member of the non-aligned movement for the same reason yeah non-aligned movement was not a military alliance you know the total military prowess of all the non-aligned countries put together would not equal one major power but it was a commitment principally of newly independent nations in Asia Africa Latin America to not to be goaded into an alliance for this reason or that reason but to make your own judgments and concentrate on your own priorities and those priorities were what nation building priorities your excellency thank you very much for giving us your time thank you very much professor cycle and great to see you again same here all the way


The development of new technologies has enabled the creation of vaccines that have saved millions of lives, and the potential for further advancements in vaccine development exists to address both existing and emerging infectious diseases, with each platform having its own unique advantages and challenges, especially in terms of manufacturing.


Today we shall study fuel system in SI engines so this is going to be the first slide or first lecture in this IC engine series. Now there are learning outcome at the end of this session students will be able to describe the terms carburation and air fuel ratio and they will be able to explain effects of air fuel ratio on the performance of the engine. Engines are normally classified in two types IC engines SI system and CI SI means spark ignition. In spark ignited engines air fuel mixtures are formed with the help of the device which is known as carbulator. So carburation is the process of producing a mixture of air and fuel in the correct proportion for required for combustion in internal combustion engines and say this process is performed in a device known as carbulator. So carbulator is a device that mixes air and fuel for internal combustion engines in the proper rate or proper ratio which is required for the combustion. Now air fuel ratio what do you understand by term air fuel ratio can anybody yeah air fuel ratio as the name suggests is the ratio of mass of air to mass of fuel present in the combustion process. If the air provided it just enough to completely burn all of the fuel this ratio is known as stoichiometric air fuel ratio or chemically correct air fuel ratio. Ratios lower than stoichiometric means where air is less and fuel is more so they are considered as rich mixtures or rich air fuel ratios while ratios higher than stoichiometric so they are considered as lean. Now what are the requirements of this air fuel ratio for performance or better performance of the engine and for that let us try to understand what are these semirequirements. Firstly there is a limited range of air fuel ratios which can be ignited in a spark ignition engines so that below which and above which there may not be an ignition. So for petrol as a fuel these limits are 7 is to 1 on the rich side means 7 parts of air and 1 part of semi fuel and above 20 is to 1 on the lean side so where 20 is the proportion of the air while 14.7 is to 1 being the stoichiometric or chemically correct ratio. Figure 1 next figure so that we shall see later shows that the maximum power is obtained at 12.5 is to 1 air fuel ratio at full throttle. So this is the graph and this graph if you see that air fuel ratio so that is on the x axis on the x axis and here percent of the maximum say power or efficiency so that has been plotted. If we see the curve of maximum power we will find that say the maximum power say goes on increasing as the mixture becomes slightly leaner from very rich I mean limit and at this particular ratio that is around 12.5 if you see the figure 12.5 so we obtain the maximum power later on as the mixture becomes leaner say you find that the power goes on dropping while in case of economy if you consider economy economy will be lesser because fuel consumption will be more say in this rich air fuel ratio so as the ratio becomes more and more leaner here the proportion of air goes on increasing so that efficiency will go on increasing so it will reach to its maximum peak say at somewhere 17 is to 1 and then it will be further drop say because the mixture becomes too lean while the stoichiometric correct ratio is somewhere here so that is around 14.7. So if we consider the maximum efficiency occurs for air fuel ratio at about 17 is to 1 so the same is reflected again in this sphere figure so this is the power and instead of efficiency now this graph is of the fuel consumption so fuel consumption say for richer mixture is high and it will go on dropping and this is stoichiometric ratio and this is the lowest so where say we obtain the maximum efficiency and again it goes on increasing now air fuel ratio power and fuel consumption we shall discuss more I mean details about this you will find that air fuel ratio for maximum power and maximum economy vary with load figure 3 will show the effect of varying load on requirements of air fuel ratio for economy and power so we find that this is the figure so this will give us the relative load at any given speed so this is the maximum load and this is the zero load while here air fuel ratio so which is say shown in this limits so this is the reach limit mixture and this is the lean limit mixture now these goes on varying with the load load if you consider that max power curve you will find that say for richer mixtures this is I mean around 11 or 11 point something so that will give us the maximum power at zero load zero means idling say no load and say this requirement goes on becoming increasing means more leaner mixture is required to produce maximum power say somewhere around 12 is to 1 say that is the requirement while for economy the condition again is similar say that mixture should go on becoming leaner as say we want to achieve economy with the load say here we require each mixture and then say it should go on becoming leaner or weak and say it will stabilize somewhere here say from here to here said to achieve the maximum economy even the load goes on increasing say the ratio will be semi stabilized now the same is reflected here say we find that at lower loads richer mixtures are required while as load increases leaner mixtures can achieve both maximum power as well as economy however the ratios for maximum economy are higher than that for maximum power now again if we highlight that fuel consumption and air fuel ratio further figure show figure 4 shows the change in properties of air fuel mixture by conducting a test with air fuel ratio as variable and keeping speed throttle opening and ignition timing constant so these are the variables so that are kept constant say if we see this figure sorry this figure we find that here say this is the mean effective indicated mean effective pressure in bar and this is the fuel consumption say in kg per kwh and requirements of air fuel ratio say they go on changing so this is the weakest mixture or leaner and say you will find that as we want more and more pressure or more and more power say you find say that mixture should go on becoming still seven weeks so this is the appropriate appropriate and fuel consumption will be list fuel consumption will be list here again as we want that more mean effective pressure then you will find that say the requirements goes on increasing that towards richer mixture richer mixture so here though we get the maximum efficiency the power consumption power produced is less this is the point C where we get the maximum power as well as maximum economy say which are 4 percent away from their maximum values and D is the say point where we achieve the maximum power again it goes on decreasing so this is the condition now if we see that further reducing the ratio to 15 based compromise between economy and power is achieved as both of them are away by 4 percent from their maximum value this is point C this is point C now effect of varying air fuel ratio so further reduction in air fuel ratio in the range of 12 is to 1 to 13 is to 1 give the point of maximum power D but specific fuel consumption is 25 to 30 percent more than maximum air fuel ratio affects the emission pattern also as seen in figure 5 so if you see figure 5 you will find that so this is giving us that air fuel ratio and this will give us the same in proportion of the different components in the exhaust and we find so this is the curve for hydrocarbon this is the curve for CO and this is for NOx nitrogen oxide and we find that as air fuel ratio goes on increasing both this hydrocarbon and CO say go that their proportion goes on decreasing but for NOx it is different say it increases with linear mixture achieves at the top and again goes on falling goes on falling so this is because the inner mixture produces higher temperature so that condition is favorable for formation of the NOx so if we see that at lower air fuel ratio that is for each mixture percentage of toxic components like Hc and CO is higher and it reduces as the ratio increases however proportion of NOx increases with air fuel ratio peak at the ratio of 17 is to 1 and then further falls so this is because of high temperature created due to lean mixture thus we have studied say effect of air fuel ratio say on the performance of the engine say today we shall stop say references for these figures and these were taken from the book of Icinges Mathur Sharma so


I'm Police Inspector Katherine Benson. Welcome to Destination Hometown. The exhibit is titled A Life Behind the Badge and it provides an opportunity for the citizens of Columbia and the Midlands to look at the artistic side of not just police officers, but the entire police family, our civilian employees, their spouses, their children, our retirees. It opens in conjunction with First Thursdays on Main and we'll be kicking the exhibit off from 5 to 7 p.m. and you'll have an opportunity to come and meet the artist. We started the exhibit off. My wife is a watercolor artist and we contacted City Hall regarding the exhibiting her artwork and then I also do wood carvings and wood burnings. So I reached out to the rest of my family being the CPD family and we've got all different types of work. We've got people who work in acrylics. We've got people who do homemade wooden plaques. We've got people who mold specific masks and create wreaths and do loom work and there's all different types of art and different skills here at the police department that most people don't actually realize we have. It's just an opportunity to look behind the badge to actually see the people and the families and what's important to us outside of our work. We're not on duty 24-7 and it's a great opportunity especially being in conjunction with First Thursday when you're already out on Main Street. Come on up to the 1700 block and take a look.
