For those of you who were around last Sunday for the stream, you'll know that that I installed gentoo now the first thing I should say about my week with gentoo is that I'm very appreciative for all of my patrons who got me to the goal Which is the reason why I installed gentoo in the first place, especially Robert I mean especially everybody but Robert paid like over two hundred dollars to get me to that goal. So everybody Thank you Supporting me so the next thing I should say is that I'm still on gentoo Like I still have my gentoo install and I can actually show you my gentoo install Right here. This is my gentoo install ignore the lack of a wallpaper. It won't stay like I can't get My I can't get fed to keep the wallpaper to stay after reboot. I don't know why It's weird things are going on. Just trust me on that. So this is my gentoo install and You'll notice that I'm on DWM and not i3 which is an interesting story Which I'm going to tell here in a few minutes, but I've used gentoo now Every day for the last week for several hours. Now. I have not lived in it full-time simply because I had to get work done and Until gentoo gets to a certain point You really can't do any work with it and I didn't have enough time to just sit down For hours and hours on end to get everything working a week later I think I'm finally to the point where I could use gentoo full-time if I wanted to there are a few things here that are Not working correctly yet But I'll talk about those here in a few minutes, but I'm at the point now a Week later where this is a fully Functional system it has all my stuff on it all my scripts are in the right place everything The like the main stuff that I absolutely have to have is working So I have some thoughts about gentoo the first thing I should talk about is the overall experience Now for those of you who have never used gentoo before or have never been successful installing gentoo before What makes gentoo interesting is that it's a source-based distro And what I mean by that is that everything you install has to be compiled by you There are hardly any Binaries that you install now that's not completely true because there are binaries that you can use things like the Firefox binary the kernel binary stuff like that So you don't have to compile your own kernel or compile Firefox or whatever But for the most part if you install something you're gonna compile it. So for example, I installed Ranger I had to compile it. I needed the ubersug in order to get image previews. I had to compile it I use exa for my LS alias here. I had to compile it. Oh And over and over and over again, that's what gentoo is now if that sounds exhausting to you Then you're not alone, but you're probably wondering then what is the benefit of actually doing this and The benefit it actually is pretty neat it by compiling everything from source by building everything yourself It allows you to Find tune exactly how things are compiled So for example things like pycom can be compiled without the sync support if you wanted to I don't know why you'd want to do that But you could do that you could compile OBS without and bank support if you wanted to there's a ton of different options for every program that you download They're called use flags and you can say for instance Tell the system that you never want to see pipe wire ever like you never want Any package to install pipe wire as a dependency or anything like that you can do that and it ensures that pipe wires never touches your system That's amazing. That is a really neat and very Attractive reason to use gentoo and I'm gonna miss it when I use arch again So I'm just gonna put that out there. That's gonna be one of the reason things I miss When I move back to arch or arco outside of the compiling things from source Really the biggest thing about gentoo is that it's very much like arch actually and that you build Everything together yourself every little piece every little dependency is something that you have to put in there and that's the reason why it's taken me a whole week to get the System up to the point where it's actually usable. There are so many little itsy-bitsy pieces that go into The ability to use like DWM or I3 you that it just takes a while to get there And you can be using your computer for a little while and then realize oh I need this thing So I have to go run off and compile this thing And then you'll use your computer for a little while longer And you'll realize that there's another dependency that you haven't installed yet And you have to run and install that one and while on arch That's not a big deal Usually it's just pseudo pac-man dash s whatever and it takes five seconds to install on gentoo It's a little bit different now for the most part the horror stories That you hear about four or five days of compiling stuff Most of that at least in my experience is complete nonsense the longest compile Session that I had was with Crusader and that's a KDE application So I had a ton of dependencies and that took about 25 minutes now. I have really high-end hardware So obviously if you are running this on a laptop or something where you don't have 64 gigabytes of RAM in a Ryzen 3800x your compile times you're obviously going to be a lot slower But from my experience the compile times weren't So bad that it would have that it proved annoying But the problem is is that it's still over time as you install a whole bunch of stuff that compile time does add up And that means everything takes just a little bit longer to install to update Whatever it just takes a little bit longer And honestly, there's nothing hugely wrong with that for me personally I didn't find it that egregious that things took a little bit longer I just went and did something else while I was waiting for something to emerge. So let me talk about the good things So I talked a little bit about the ability to use use flags and to compile software and packages Without or with certain features. That's the number one reason that I like gentoo. It's actually really cool There are other reasons that I like gentoo the biggest one being I Absolutely have adored my time here because I've learned So much if you are interested in learning a lot about Linux But you're not quite interested in going crazy and installing Linux from scratch gentoo is a fantastic option for you because it is Very complex, but at the same time easy to learn if I can say that you can do a ton of stuff here and get a ton of information and Just learn a lot now one thing is for sure though is I would not do this alone Like I have had a lot of help Ben from my discord server has been there and Zany's discord server Tyler's been there to help Josh has been there to help and Without those three guys, I wouldn't have actually been able to even install gentoo on my own At least without a whole bunch of trial and error So I'm a very appreciative of having help so I highly recommend if you're going to try gentoo find someone that knows what they What they're doing and ask them for help, but even beyond the help thing I've learned a lot like there's just a ton of stuff here that I've learned to do and it's been a very rewarding experience I've been able to create a system basically from the ground up that I'm proud of I can come here I can do actual work. I'm recording this video right now I'm gentoo if I could get my i3 configuration file to work. I was going to do a stream tonight from gentoo We're gonna talk about the problems here just a minute But the point is is that this is a fully functioning system and I did it, right? I had help but I'm very proud of the fact that I'm here like I have all my configuration files here I have all my junk here and it works like I could right now Minus a few things that are really pissing me off use this system for the next month and be perfectly happy And in fact, I've considered doing it But let's go ahead and transition into the negative things the first thing That pisses me off right now is that I can't get pycom to work very well So if you are familiar with pycom at all, you'll know That one of the features of it will allow you to run it with a V-sync flag that will will take Some of the screen tearing off from your system for whatever reason this computer here screen tears like a mofo It's just a horrible thing with this combination of hardware That it just does it and it doesn't matter what Linux distribution it is like they all do it It doesn't matter like as usually the only place I know it is when I'm scrolling through like a webpage the screen tears and it drives me absolutely bonkers I can't put up with it. It just ruins my my day it ruins my day so Usually I can use pycom to get rid of it and When I can't use just pack on to get rid of it all of it like sometimes it just takes off like the top 90% of the screen tearing and you could still notice it somewhat There's a trick that somebody in the the comments is going to point to where you where you create a File in dot a slash Etsy slash X 11 slash Xorg.com dot D or something like that. I've done that and I still have screen tearing So that's my number one complaint right now is screen tearing I can't get rid of it no matter what I do and I've tried like I said, I've tried the two tricks that you're supposed to use in order to get rid of it And neither one of them work. I had a hell of a time actually getting pike on to actually start And that turned out to be my problem because I compiled it without any use flags and If you don't compile it with use flags, you can't use the v-sync flag and I was using the v-sync flag So it was just it was booked once I got it recompiled with a v-sync flag and started it in the X profile directory instead of my Auto start file for DWM It worked fine, but the screen staring was still there. So Honestly, that's my biggest problem right now. If I could get rid of the screen tearing I'd probably stay right on gentoo for a while and do a long-term review of it, but I can't stand the screen tearing it bugs me like Seriously just pisses me off. I can't get rid of it the other negative thing I have to say about gentoo is that it is complex like it is really Complex and there is just a ton of stuff here for you to learn the biggest problem I've had over the last week is learning emerge emerge has a literal shit ton of options and none of them are intuitive and It's not that this is not an emerge problem Pac-Man has the exact same problem Like how does Pac-Man dash s capital s equals equal install s? Like s doesn't mean install in any way which as far as I understand It doesn't make any sense to emerge is the same way if you don't learn some of the flags you're kind of going to be very confused very fast very often and Even now a week later. I'm still getting the whole a hold of what? Flags you need to use to do things like install stuff like update the system like a mask Packages and all this stuff. It's one thing right after another and it's all stuff You have to learn in order to use the system It's not necessarily a bad thing because I like learning that stuff, but I can see How it could be very overwhelming and very frustrating for a lot of people because it was very overwhelming and very frustrating for me Now there are apparently street sheets out there where you can see it all this stuff in like a very glanceable way I did not get a chance to take a look at those You know extensively over the last couple days But that's something that I would definitely check out if I do if I was going to stay on Gentoo, but I would just say That if you are deciding to try Gentoo, I highly recommend Taking notes. It's one thing that I really regret not doing is when the the fellows were helping me install this stuff I really wish I had had a notebook here in front of me and I wrote down Specifically the stuff about merge that I should have known like Specifically like the unmasking of packages like I've finally gotten it down after a week But there are certain parts of that process That I've had to look up probably ten times and it's just annoying now If you don't know what unmasking of packages, don't worry about it. It doesn't really matter It's just a gentoo thing. The point is is that sometimes you have to do this in order to install or order to install stuff and The process is something that has to be done in a certain order if they can miss if you miss a step It doesn't work So I've had to look that up several times And so I highly recommend as you go through and install this stuff Take notes, especially on the merge stuff. You'll be happy that you did so gentoo Honestly, it has been a really good experience. I've been highly impressed with what I've seen of it so far Now I can't say anything about gaming I don't have steam installed and I don't know whether or not I'm gonna make it that far or not I also can't say anything about being able to stream on here because I haven't actually been able to stream on gentoo yet So I don't know whether or not that will work. I will say this the Documentation for gentoo is fantastic If you had to put the arch wiki and the gentoo wiki side by side and ask which one's better I wouldn't be able to tell you they're both Really good. I would say that they're both technological in pros and By that I mean if you don't know what some of the words mean you're gonna have a problem So if you don't have an underlying idea of what you're doing You're probably going to get confused And if you're like me when you get confused reading something like that you kind of zone out or start skipping stuff And that's not a good thing I can in arch you can kind of get away with it some in sometimes because you can always go backwards during the install of Gentoo if you don't do things in order Your gentoo install is not gonna work. So don't be like me in that in that scenario So the final question that has to be asked is Will gentoo stay on my system? the answer to that question is Probably not and there are multiple reasons for it first I do have to do a long-term review coming up and I need this hard drive in order to do it So that's the biggest reason why the second reason is also equally big and that's the screen tearing if I could get rid of screen tearing Honestly, I wouldn't mind keeping gentoo run for a little while and actually making this the next long-term review But without being able to get rid of that I Can't do it like I just can't use something that screen tears that bad One of the things that I do primarily on my computer is read stuff Like half the time I do work like my actual job. I'm reading Thousands and thousands of words and either Google Docs or some other program or something And if the screen tears while I'm doing that and I notice it it takes me out of what I'm ever I'm doing for Multiple seconds maybe up to a half a half a minute where I'm raging in my head like why is this doing that and Well might not bother other people it bothers me so much that I can't get work done Therefore, I can't use gentoo. That's just kind of the way it is So if in the next couple days I can fix that screen tearing perhaps gentoo is the next long-term review If I can't fix it in the next couple days Probably gentoo is going to get overwritten with slack wear because that was the next long-term review plan That's what I was planning on doing next so We'll see how that goes. Would I recommend gentoo for other people? Hell, yeah I actually would if you are interested in Linux and you know what you're doing like if you know What Linux is how the file structure works and all that stuff, especially if you've installed arch Linux before Installing gentoo isn't that much more complicated than arch Linux. It's really not I would recommend doing it on a computer that has certain specs a lot of memory a fairly Component processor so that you're not there forever because if you're on really low-end like 10 year old hardware It's gonna take you too long and you're just gonna get frustrated and you're also probably going to burn your house down because your laptop or whatever is going to get really hot and It's just not gonna be a very good experience So do it on something modern and you'll have a good time and you'll learn a lot Even if you don't stick with gentoo you'll learn a lot along the way And so I would recommend anybody who's interested in becoming like a Linux die-hard Give this a try. It's actually not that bad So that is it for this video if you have comments about this experience. You can leave those comments in the comment section below I'm sure that there's something else that I was gonna talk about that. I've just completely forgotten because I didn't take any notes For this video is just kind of more of a ramble But I will leave those in the comment section below if I if I come up with something else that I've forgotten I'll leave those down below as well So if you want to you can follow me on Twitter at the next cast you can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash the next cast before I go I'd like to take a moment to thank the current patrons Robert Sid, Devon, Patrick, Fred, Kramer, Megwin, Jackson, Evan, Tool, Steve, Ace, Everett, Linux, Garrett, Samuel, Mitchell, ArtCenter, J-Dog, CarbonData, Jeremy, Sean, Odin, Martin, Andy, Ross, Merrick, Camp, Joshua, Peter, Ray, Crucible, Dark Bennett, Sage, Primus, and PM Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you next time


Can I ask everyone to sit down and we begin. Thank you very much for everybody who interoperated in the Interoperability Groups. So it's been a long day. We've had a lot and a lot of information to digest, but it's been productive, that's the feeling I've got. raised issues, but that's what we're here to do is raise issues and discuss things which we've got to discuss in the next minute. here to do is raise issues and discuss things. So we're going to start with a summary of the breakout groups. If I could ask the first Jochen to report on the literature guidelines group. Thank you. So we had a lot of very useful feedback. First of all we went to make clear that we have we open air provides a set of guidelines which may have different versions. So we say literature guidelines now have version three and the other two for data increase version one. For the literature guidelines we have defined a roadmap. So there are two steps. We want to finalize the current draft you already received in next month. We very much appreciate your feedback and we want to revise the driver guidelines as a second step and so we will publish the final version of the literature guidelines in a version three dot x in the summer. Again first step finalization of 3.0 so that new repositories can come and register in the merged open air driver portal and the second step is a complete finalized revised version with the format driver guidelines in the summer. Feedback on the current draft there are a lot of a lot a number of typos we need to fix. Then we got from Pablo some feedback about other initiatives in the UK. Just to mention the RIOX initiative and vocabularies for open access. They are somehow very specific to the situation in UK and they also define our identifiers for funding a project information. So for open air that will mean that we will not harvest individual repositories from them from the UK but from their repository network as an aggregator. Another interesting point was that open air can also harvest from the open air compliant pure system which can also act as an aggregator for a number of repositories. Then we discussed some possible improvements for instance that at the moment we have only identifiers to a splash page of a publication but it would be very useful also that we can have a link to the full text payload which might be needed for text mining operations. Then we had a short discussion. Is it useful to indicate the version of the paper mainly is it peer reviewed or not. Something which we follow in next discussions because we had different opinions about it. Then with some remarks that we should improve the introduction of the guidelines so to widen the scope not only to EC funded project results to make it more global because then it would allow that this kind of guidelines can also be adopted in other parts of the world and it would be interesting to provide an introduction that is not too technical but of interest for decision makers for instance. Last but not least it was the idea to provide monitoring tools for guidelines compliance. Just I think that I think it was mentioned. I think it's important to bear in mind when we plan to merge the driver and the driver guidelines. The global usage of the driver guidelines outside the European borders so we need to consider this extra European impact of the driver guidelines and when doing the new version of the guidelines we need to consider and to have that in mind that this is not be only used on the context of Europe of the European repositories but wider for instance now in Latin America the driver guidelines are being uptake and it's and it's also good on that on the perspective that what we are doing here will should connect with other initiatives outside of Europe so we really need to take this into consideration. Any other observations on that from participants? Okay thank you young let's move on to the next group plus in the data group as well so first of all I think we were confirmed in that data site is the right standard to go with so many repositories already exporting in data site or is planning to do it so that's a good part about it also that of course the standard has certain issues that there's been a lot of trade-offs between granularity and ease of use so for instance it would be nice if you could link to specify if you're linking to a landing page or the resource itself for the data resource itself then we were around where to actually draw the line of what to include in OpenAir that we're saying that we only want to include data sets that are related to documents but then that might make data sets be felt like they're second-class citizens so the conclusion is that we have to start somewhere and this is just the first first step and and what we am really interested in is the the linking and the search ability of the metadata that we are including and then we can expand later on then we were around along the same lines which kind of requirements we have for inclusion of repositories if we're just gonna take everything so that perhaps we need some kind of data use some kind of data registry like we have for for literature repositories with OpenDoor so that we have some kind of confirmation of the repository that we can harvest them then we were a bit around the verifiability of the data that DUI give some certain level of trust in what is actually being linked to whereas for instance a URL doesn't really provide the same trust and there was a lot of more discussion about this but for instance there are some certain big data repositories that's basing their persistent identifiers on your ends and that we have feel that we that we need to be inclusive and not exclusive in that sense then we were also around the nature of the dynamic data and all the the issues that are surrounding the dynamic nature and how you're linking to it the data might move around between between repositories or repositories may provide you with the different information and how can we actually verify verify these issues also that the data changes can change all the time depending on the repository and so forth so what we should do there is that we should it's again we have to start someplace and we should encourage the best practices and make sure that if people cited in the papers then they should also we should encourage them to really make it retrievable in the same form that it's made that we're using it in then we were around the relationships that in the data side meet today's a schema that relationships are very generic and that in our guidelines we perhaps need to be more specific about exactly which kind of relationship that we're interested in and also not a mob for Pandora's box of what we are gonna harvest from the data repositories yeah and then we were around the licensing and funding as well but that was not where the biggest issue were it was more less adequate that some repositories they can provide funding information and others they they can't you have anything to add no I mean it raised the session was interesting it raised a lot of difficult issues about big data data-driven science how we're going to handle all of that and I think we have to start small and we have to be realistic about what we're going to achieve and over there plus and to pilots in case studies with the people we've invited today for example it's very valuable feedback so that's you have to move down here now if you want to see this so as we didn't have anything to discuss in the way that we didn't have a guideline that we have prepared that we can discuss our discussion was very high-level but it was also very concrete and practical in the way that we have a roadmap now for what to do in the coming months so what we want to do is we want to present a draft application profile for sheriff XML for open air which should be presented at the Euracris membership meeting in Bonn on the 13th and 14th of May so if you're interested in this I don't know if is it open for everyone to to participate at the membership meeting or do you need to yes so it's open for everyone so so be aware when and if you're interested in this to participate so the first thing we want to do is to make an open wiki where we will put our draft application profile in which members of Euracris and open air will work out together and we will present this as an open invitation to the vendors of Chris systems I just name three of them here I don't know how many there are but Avida, Simplatec and Tira, they are major ones and of course that should sort of scrutinize review the work that we've done in the draft and come out with a better version of the application profile that we can then present at the open air meeting in sorry the membership the Euracris membership meeting on the 13th and 14th of May so this is the plan for now I'm not going to go into much details about this didn't really go into any further details about what should be done in that way in a sense but I'll also write some mini-example meeting that I'll send to all who are participating. Thank you. Thank you very much. I don't know how relevant what we discussed is to larger audience because we were really on a practical level so we have a new checklist what national open access desks should be doing and we discussed it. We have a draft template to track achievements and we briefly discuss it and then we have a sample country action plan which we discussed and it was agreed that minimum required efforts from the North would be to present some achievements by the end of March and then every three months maximum required effort would be to present achievements the day before we have our monthly regional calls and another topic we discussed was communication with member states meaning policymakers, ministries, research funders in the member states because that's an area that we should be exploring more deeply and one of the reasons why we should be exploring it more deeply because Council of Europe is organizing a high level meeting on the 18th of February where ministers of science and education will attend and we'll have to answer three questions about open access developments in their countries and in Europe in general and we were talking how we as North could provide help to the ministries who don't feel competent enough in answering those three questions they will have to answer next week. Then Gwen presented our next Open Air Plus workshop in Ghent which will be about linking publications and data but it will be from librarian's perspective what competencies are required from librarians when they are starting designing their data management plans and linking publications and data etc. So if you are interested make sure to talk to Gwen and get more details about this event and other issues discussed we were talking how we could expand open access, access tracker to cover all open air plus countries and we'll keep talking. Then it would be good to have a list of open data policies from European countries and perhaps maybe even wider because that's something we might find useful when we talk about introducing institutional, national open data policies. Then it would be good to have a list of data repositories from the countries and the good place would be to update country pages on the open air portal with this information some already provided this, some will provide soon. Then we spoke that perhaps Open Air Plus could be an source of expertise for institutions or countries that plan some new open data projects and one way is to refer all the questions you received to Nigelaw to regional coordinators or perhaps we could have something like online resource updated all the time where all those good practices, recommendations etc. are collected. I guess that's it. I'm not missing anything. Thank you. Anyone have any questions from the group or extra observations? Thank you. So maybe I hand over to Norbert now. But again it's really not the time I think to give a comprehensive summary of what you just heard before because these were all summaries already of the day. I think it's perhaps more important maybe to just highlight from a more high level perspective and to remind us what the mission of Open Air is. And that became more and more clear to me not only today but also over the last day and that is what started in 2009 as a policy supporting infrastructure for the open access pilot of the European Commission. It's now being transferred to a comprehensive scientific information infrastructure that covers all types of research output and research related and research and teaching related material that is of relevance. And what we covered here in menu have been publications, research data, Chris systems and also journals and we have publishers as well. How complex is this? Perhaps I can make this clear to you if I just mentioned all the organizations and initiatives I'm personally involved and try to coordinate throughout the year and I don't think that this will inclusive but I guess it mentions the most important one of course beyond Open Air, Open Air Plus from the European Commission. It's Icordi as you have heard and the research data alliance. It's core with the international perspective of it. It's Libre for research libraries. It's a G8 and O5 data working group that will meet on the 4th of March in the UK again to discuss with not only with European states but also with the five outreach countries China, Brazil and so on about data infrastructure if you like. This is an attempt to get the research data alliance together with initiatives in other parts of the world to agree on kind of standards and interoperability is always a key issue. Then we have, and not to forget, a plesora, a diversity of disciplines, scientific disciplines and we had the report from the British Atmospheric Data Centre. I attended an October meeting, a rather small scale meeting at Hingston close to Cambridge organised by the European Bioinformatics Institute about linking literature to data and many publishers like Nature and PLOS and BioMed Central and so on were present and representatives from the European Modicula Biology Organization. So both publishers and scientists, again a lot of the discussions and topics that were presented here about data journals, linking articles to data, what are the right standards for accession numbers to data sets is discussed in this group. We heard also examples from archaeology. In parallel we have on the European Commission site 48 European research infrastructure projects so discipline-based research infrastructure project as well. And then just to make it a bit more complex we have the discussions in our member states and that was just alluded to by Irina as well how important it is to get those initiatives and infrastructures like OpenAir connected to the established systems and communication schemers of member states with the European Commission and vice versa which is not so easy because in our countries we have all different systems how research and representation at the European Commission and research funding is organised and just speaking for my own country in Germany it's difficult enough to keep an overview of what's going on with all the ministries and research funders that are there. So finding a right name to address in the ministry that is responsible for a topic like this is not an easy task and we all need to do this in our countries and we tried to provide support through this from the Commission site but still it's a challenge. Then we have infrastructure funders like JISC, Neo Jacobs was also here I guess he has already gone, the DFG in Germany, Knowledge Exchange and many others in your countries as well. And then last but not least but that becomes more and more apparent to me now being responsible for university as well as when we sit here together and talk about interoperability and have an interoperability workshop we all know what we are talking about. If you go back to your institution be it a university, be it a research organisation and you try to address the topic of interoperability with your presidential board, with the governing board of a university, talk to your researchers who are, I mean just researchers but not involved in infrastructure, they will often not understand what you mean with interoperability and what the issues are and what the problems are because everything is digital so what is the problem. So you can just deal it. So this really adds to the complexity and makes clear how important it is to get all the communities that were here represented. So the publication, the data, the Chris systems and your journals, publishers as well and to have committed people like those who have come together here in Minyoo to drive this forward because otherwise it will never end and we are only a fraction of all the communities that I mentioned before to get there. So sometimes I'm a bit afraid but only a bit whether we can manage this on a European and then it goes beyond to the international and global level. On the other hand I must say it's quite a challenge and it's interesting as well to work on those topics and knowing so many committed colleagues here from all different fields it's a very good feeling to go ahead. That's actually perhaps closing now with two, I mean for me I see two main strands for open air forward in the communities here. One is really the existing infrastructure that is already operational with open air to carry on to expand in Horizon 2020 and the various aspects have been raised over the last days. And the second strand is to connect to all the initiatives and projects that have been represented here. I mentioned the majority of them. UDAT is another one of course and ICORLY and all the others. So really creating some kind of umbrella or platform fundament to connect all these initiatives to come together in a way that is flexible and loosely enough to respond to specific needs in communities. On the other hand to make it understandable and comprehensive in a way that funders like the European Commission or on a wider level, international level they will understand what we are talking about instead of talking to 50 or 100 different people from different communities. So I guess that perhaps should serve as a final wrap up as a conclusion. I use the opportunity again like I did yesterday to thank Eloy and Pedro and Ricardo and all the other colleagues for a wonderful organisation here. I mean we had such a great dinner also yesterday with ad hoc music presentations coming up as well I guess which was really really nice. Yesterday night we have those of you who will join us, have a wonderful tour and our social programme tour ahead of us. So thank you very much Eloy again and for our team for a great workshop and conference here. Thank you. Eloy, do you have some organisational perhaps?


Welcome to ITU Telecom 2017 here in Busan in the Republic of Korea. I'm very pleased to be joining the studio today by Stephen Ibaraki, who is founder of the AI for Good Summit. Stephen, thanks so much for joining us today. It's a real honour and pleasure to be here. It's so exciting, you know, it's a great, great conference and exhibition as well. Now it's brilliant. Now the theme of this year's Telecom is smart digital transformation. I really wanted to find out what does that mean to you? Digital transformation is about things like smart cities, the proliferation of artificial intelligence everywhere around us.  Really, it's found everywhere, right? Everything's digital. It's every part of our lives and you really have to have a good understanding of digital to really be able to survive more than that to prosper in this economy today. Now I know that you have several title, job titles. You wear several hats, but we've got here as a founder of the AI for Good Summit. Perhaps you could tell us very briefly what that is because not everybody will be familiar with it. Of course, people who attended this year will be very much so. But perhaps we could just talk a little bit about that and also how you would define AI or is it not so necessary to define? You know, it's quite remarkable that the ITU created a platform for the coming together to facilitate a global discussion on artificial intelligence. It's an implication on government, society, and industry and so forth. Really, it's historically was the most successful event ever with over 500 experts coming together in plenary sessions and then, you know, break through private discussions and so forth. It also had a situation where we had 47 media from around the world, would you believe that? Like BBC was there, China Central Television, you know, whether it's America or from Asia for a year, but represent the resume of the television crew. The reason I bring that up is usually in typical Summit, you may have, you're lucky if you get one major media group covering it, but there's 47 that was the interest. 21 UN agencies coming together. And I keep in mind the UN is almost like a federation of different UN agencies and for them to come together to work together to look at some of the issues, the opportunities that are available through artificial intelligence and how it can be applied to the 17 sustainable development goals to make the world a better place. So it's just an amazing event, a lot was discussed, there's a lot of ideas created and in fact it's going to continue in some fashion. Let's talk about artificial intelligence, how would you define artificial intelligence?  So artificial intelligence is about human cognition or cognitive abilities being enabled or perhaps even replaced by algorithms, by assistive capabilities and augmented capabilities, automation. So that's really what it's about, right? So really humans working with Intel AI in some fashion to make things easier and better. So cognition, algorithms, automation, augmentation, assistance, maybe it's C444 or C4AA rather than AAA. And what about in terms of visible impacts, what do you think will be the biggest visible impacts of AI in our daily lives within the next five years or so let's say? Probably the biggest impact will be how seamless it will be and integrated and in fact the impact would be invisible but it will enhance every part of our lives. So a scenario would be something like this, you're going to wake up, some kind of AI will be involved in you getting up, planning your day, scheduling your calendar, making appointments, ordering food, going to the bank, doing any kind of financial transactions involved in you doing your work, working with your children, with your spouse, really infiltrating in some way or being seamlessly part of every part of your lives. And we're already seeing that now, right? So if you want to do investments in the banking area or in your portfolio, there's AI to do that. Everybody has a smartphone and you've got some kind of AI in there that you talk to or can use to do translations or book appointments, things like that. You're doing email and spam filters is really kind of a machine learning system with people with it and sort of fill it with AI that's sort of managing that for you.  Somebody's just poofing you trying to illegally get into your account so it's because there's some kind of foreign login happening so it's warning me. That's all some kind of machine learning or AI is involved in that. Autonomous vehicles, right? And all of the assistive kind of capabilities that you're seeing in your cars today. And increasingly so and in fact in Singapore there are taxis that are autonomous and you're going to see that in different part of the world. We call it cabbie, we call it Uber. There's a human there. That's going to happen. So that won't be impacted, right? So everything that's a bit clunky today will be much smoother and it'll be much more sophisticated and it'll be a much smoother ride for everybody. Yeah and in fact I'll give you an acronym, I've got another acronym I call it CASEL. So actually all four walls of the CASEL are already here today represented in entities in some fashion. In fact on October 11th I've been asked to speak with a few others as a small panel at the United Nations in New York. It's the United Nations meeting of the second committee of the General Assembly together with the ECOSAU, the Economic Social Council. And they're the two chartered agencies or portions of the United Nations. Anyways they've got a special three hour meeting in front of all the General Assembly and they said Steve, because you did this work with the AI, would you be a speaker, a panel member for three hours? I said sure and they said Steve, do you know Dave Hansen and Sophia? And I said yeah, he's a good friend. So I sent them a copy of a video where Sophia was speaking Mandarin with me. Here is the robot. Yeah, the robot is sort of like the, or as Hansen calls it, it's this child, right? And so anyways these conversations continued and in fact what happened was I did arrange Sophia to be at this special meeting and in my response to the director, because there was sort of finalizing thing, I said, you realize that this is an historical inflection point. What's happening? That's going to happen on October 11th. And I explained why and I said castle is going to happen. In fact the four walls of the castle are going to be established there through real entities. Three of them are actually physically present there. So now you're thinking what does this castle mean, right? So the C for castle for classic human beings like you and I and the members of the General Assembly that will be there. So that's the C in castle, the A in castle stands for augmented or hybrid human beings. I have an embedded device that allows me to hear better. So augmented human beings will be there and the S is for synthetic. So a lot of people know that actually they're creating synthetic genomes now. In fact by the end of the year some really simple life forms will be completely created synthetically in the lab and in about 10 years they'll be to do with human beings. And then in the last A, so C-A-S-A, so a classic augmented synthetic, the last A is artificial. And in fact Hanson's child, Sophia, this sort of artificial robot which is really in its early stages will be there. And so that's what I'm saying. The four stages, the four legs of castle, classic augmented synthetic artificial life exists in America at the time when we're there on October 11th. So three will be in person and Sophia is going to open the event. Definitely a first thing. And Sophia is going to close the event. And we're thinking maybe Sophia will also be on the panel answering questions as well and interact with that. And there's another surprise I believe coming up but I can't release that yet. Okay, so the drawbridge will be... First time in history. The drawbridge will be firmly down then. That's brilliant. That's extremely exciting. In terms of this particular event, you've seen obviously there's lots of SMEs here. I believe that you've been chatting to them as well. What key advice for our bigger audience, for our wider audience out there, would you give to early stage startups as something which we were focusing very much on? Yeah, I mean that's a very good question. So let me expand that acronym of SMEs to M SMEs which stands for micro, small and medium enterprises. And the M is really startups because small and medium enterprises are really beyond being startups. So a big part of this IT, this telecom world here by ITU is sort of supporting M SMEs. And in fact I was involved in the judging of these M SMEs. And I chaired a moderated panel with founders who by the way, some of them are winners of the global innovation wars that are healthier. So what are some of the key factors to make them survive or allow them to survive? I think some of them are areas like having great relationships. Ultimately a success of a startup is going to be based on relationships. In fact I would say 90% perhaps. There's this idea I call grit. So I'm going to give you a definition of grit, right? And there's sort of a formal definition of grit and comes from one of the, I think it's forms of fortune but I've extended it a bit. So everybody has some kind of talent, right? So you work really hard, you combine that with talent, you get some skill, okay? Now you got some skill, you work really, really hard and you're going to get some achievements, right? Now if you combine achievements and you work really hard and you persevere, you'll get grit. If you've got grit it'll vastly increase the probability you'll succeed in your startup and it'll reduce the risk. And I think as a venture capitalist, there's another sort of roller hat I wear, if I see that one element I will bet on that versus even the idea. Grit, hard work, perseverance. Okay, well that's a brilliant advice and I'm sure that there will be lots of people out there following it. In terms of attending this event obviously we've all made a big trek out here to Busan and Korea apart from obviously people who are based here but I just wanted to find out from you what's the value of attending events such as ITU Telecom World? Well first of all, let's just position ITU. ITU really is the number one facilitation platform for discussions of technology. But not just telecommunications, I'm talking cybersecurity, biometrics, blockchain technologies, internet of things, artificial intelligence, standardization, policies and things like that. There really are the number one platform for those kind of discussions and bringing the right parties together to get some progression in those areas. And then they have their seminal flagship conferences like Telecom World and where all of these different experts from around the world come together and they share ideas, they collaborate and they evolve the discussion. They launched a new journal officially at this event, an academic journal called the ICT Discovery Journal. Again, bringing collaboration, all the different stakeholders together to further science and further innovation in some way. No other entity can do that in the same fashion worldwide. And I can tell you that because I chair academic like these global science organizations I'm a venture capitalist, I sit on industry councils and things like that and I've created them, help found or founded this AFRICAT summit. ITU, if you look at it, there's ITUs in all of those threads in some fashion. And finally, what's the most exciting thing that you've seen or heard here this week? You know, ITU has had me so busy. I actually haven't had a chance to look at the exhibition yet. What about in the conversations that you've been hearing? Is there anything struck you? Is there anything that sparked your imagination? There is something that's happening in the world today that I think people should... I think you'll find fascinating. It's this idea of massive simulation platforms that are being put out. So, you know, you have these supercomputers and they can model the galaxy, you know, let's say 300 billion galaxies out of, let's say trillions of particles and they can sort of model what's going to have some kind of dark matter and how it evolves on gravity and what's going to happen to the universe. Put this in a supercomputer. That capability now is being commercialized. So, there's a company called Improbable. In fact, this came out of a CB Insights report, so I want to give them credit, but it's really quite fascinating. They've got a VR gaming platform. They just raised, I think, over 500 million, and the governments are using it. Telecommunications companies are using it and other enterprises to simulate solutions to big problems and things like that to help in decision-making. So, I think that's a really interesting thing that's happening. And maybe one other idea. You know, people think that quantum computing is sort of like 50 years old, but I belong to some called the ACM Association for Computing Machinery, which is sort of the number one comp science organization in the world like we have the Turing Award. Anyways, I just arranged the head of quantum computing for IBM to do a webinar. And it's not 50 years away. I mean, there's quantum computers being used right now. They're solving real problems. And when they're applied to some like artificial intelligence, we don't know what's going on. You know, the capabilities are going to be unlimited, right? So, I think that's going to be pretty magical what's going to happen. So, in a few years time, who knows what the future holds for us? Well, you actually won't be interviewing me. It'll be some kind of an artificial assistance, you know, right? Sophia's daughter, probably. Yeah, yeah, exactly. With gravitas and an English accent. Exactly. And I'll be able to go to the beach and relax. Just every now and again, approve, approve, approve. Yeah, exactly. Maybe you'll miss me. But anyway, I will certainly miss you if you weren't here and replaced by an artificial intelligence here. But thank you very much, Stephen. That was brilliant. Thanks for your insights.  It was a real pleasure. Thank you again. Thank you. Cheers.


Let us pray. Our Father, at this time of profound grief, we do not know how to pray as we ought. But you, O God, who searches the hearts of men, can interpret our size which are too deep for words.  Amen. Almighty and everlasting God, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. From everlasting to everlasting Thou art God, and we are Thy children, creatures of Thy hand, Spirit of Thy life. In the midst of this great tragedy that has taken the lives of our fellow countrymen, we come to thee as naturally as children who are hurt, seek their earthly parents for comfort. Hear our prayers, O Lord, and give ear to our cries as we lay the concerns of our hearts before Thy throne of grace. Lord, we thank Thee for life with all of its mystery and for all of its apparent contradictions that are far beyond our power either to understand or to explain to one another. In this hour when our minds are stunned and our hearts are heavy, help us to trust You with explicit faith as we deal with this tragedy that has befallen us. With grateful hearts, we praise and bless Thee for these are fallen comrades who love this country and served it with a full measure of devotion, even to the point of giving their very lives. We give Thee thanks for each of them and for the contribution to peace that each made and the troubled land in which they served. Grant that we not become bitter or hardened by this crushing experience, but rather than it be used in Thy great scheme to bring about the peace toward which their work was directed, especially now we lift up to Thee, the families and the loved ones of these who died. May each be provided with the strength and comfort needed to sustain them in this hour of sadness. And help us all to look to You in perfect faith and receive Your kind and gracious and bounteous administrations. These are prayers we ask in Thy holy name. Amen. In the name of President Amin Jameil and of the government, and in the name of the people of Lebanon, I present warm condolences to President Ronald Reagan, to the government of the United States, and to the American people for the great tragedy that followed the attack on the US Embassy in Beirut on April 18, 1983. I wish to express to you the deep sorrow that we in Lebanon have felt as a result of this crime. The consolation of the aggrieved families is that their loved ones have died in the service of ideas which deserve the ultimate sacrifice.


Achieving sustainable economic development and averting the devastating consequences of unchecked climate change will require making use of all low-carbon energy sources, including nuclear power. Studies confirm that the goal of global net-zero carbon emissions can only be reached by 2050 with swift, sustained and significant investment in nuclear energy. The International Atomic Energy Agency and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change see nuclear as an important part of the solution to climate change and energy insecurity. Since the beginning of the 21st century, nuclear power has avoided the release of some 30 gigatons of greenhouse gases. Today, it provides a quarter of the world's clean electricity and contributes to the achievement of the sustainable development goals. Resilient and robust nuclear power has the potential to play a wider role in the quest towards net-zero carbon emissions while ensuring the highest level of nuclear safety and security. It can help to decarbonise district heating, desalination, industry processes and hydrogen production. Nuclear power emits no greenhouse gases when it is produced and contributes to energy security and the stability of the power grid while facilitating the broader uptake of solar and wind power. Locally, it cuts air pollution, which is one of today's biggest public health prices, causing the death of 8 million people a year. The responsible advancement of innovative technologies, including small modular reactors, aim to make nuclear power easier to build, more flexible to deploy and more affordable, which is of particular importance to developing countries. To build a low carbon bridge to the future will require that we keep the operating nuclear power plants serving us today. Continuous plant life management and refurbishment ensure the ongoing safety and reliability of our existing fleet, allowing it to provide decarbonised energy to the electric grid and other sectors. On the occasion of the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change hosted by the Government of the United Arab Emirates, the IAEA and its member states that are nuclear energy producers and those working with the IEA to promote the benefits of peaceful uses of nuclear energy and acknowledge that all available low emission technologies should be recognised and actively supported. Net Zero Needs Nuclear Power.


And now stay tuned for the program that has rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other West Coast program in radio history. The Signal Oil Program, The Whistler. Signal. Signal, the famous Go Father gasoline.  For extra driving pleasure, the signal to look for is the yellow and black circle sign that identifies signal service stations from Canada to Mexico. And for Sunday evening listening pleasure, the signal to listen for is this whistle that identifies the Signal Oil Program, The Whistler. I am The Whistler, and I know many things before I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. And now the Whistler's strange story. Death in 16 millimeter. The buzz of conversation on the little seaside cafe was low enough to permit the nearby sound of the surf to be heard. Paul Benton looked past the girl sitting across from him, watched the water for a moment quietly and thoughtfully. Remembering the first time he told her that he loved her. It was two years ago, Cynthia. Two years, Paul? The first time we came here. After your uncle died and I began to manage the estate. Oh, yes. You did so much more, Paul. I don't know what I would have done. I have tried, Cynthia. It can't just end. After these weeks of not seeing you, I know I couldn't stand it. It must end. You know that, too. Why, have Edith ever found out that, well, that things have gone beyond a mere attorney and client relationship? But she hasn't found out, Paul. She doesn't have to, ever. I'm sorry, dear, but I think too much of you to just go on and on this way. You really mean that, Paul. Can you question it? No. No. Oh, Paul, I can't give you up. But, darling, there's just nothing else to do. Nothing else for either of us. That is, as long as Edith is my wife. Oh, Paul, darling, there must be a way out. We've got to find that way. There must be a way out. Yes, Paul. You have her thinking in the right direction, haven't you? The way the tears mounted quickly to her eyes, then that odd little look of determination, of hate, almost. The plan you've figured out is beginning to work, isn't it, Paul? It's like those waves outside the Cove Cafe, almost ready to break out into the open, smash against the rocks, wash everything clear. You're unhappy marriage. You're confused, disinterested relationship with Cynthia, a relationship that would have remained strictly attorney and client. If it hadn't been for Cynthia's money, wouldn't it, Paul? Yes. But money is all important to you, and some of Cynthia's is almost within your grasp, as you carefully urge things further along. Increase the tide of Cynthia's emotions. Urge her to the brink of murder. I've thought and thought about this, Cynthia.  Last night I begged you to third divorce. Paul, you risked letting her know about us? Oh, I didn't mention you. I just said I was in love with someone else. Oh, darling. Oh, I'd have risked anything if I thought it would do any good, but it won't. She refused me. She'll always refuse me, as long as she lives. I wish I did talk to her. No, Cynthia. Don't ever let her know it's you, Cynthia. Because talking to her won't do any good. I'm certain of it. It isn't. I've become fairly good friends, Paul. If I could get her out someplace where just the two of us...  There's no way, Cynthia, no way in this world. I'm not so sure, Paul. I'm not so sure. Cynthia, what do you mean? Nothing. Nothing, Paul. It's late. You'd better take me home. It's going well, isn't it, Paul? Smoothly. And you know exactly what's in Cynthia's mind. You're certain of it the way she kisses you goodnight. No, Paul, she hasn't any intention of giving you up. If you had any doubts, they'd dispel the following day when you overhear a telephone conversation from the extension in your den. A very interesting conversation between Cynthia and your wife, Edith. Pasadena is the whistler fan who sent in tonight's limerick. There once was a man from Portland, old, whose car was sluggish and mighty slow, till he tried his first tank load of signal effo, and is he thankful? Now that old car has real get-up and gold. Signal, signal, signal gasoline.  Tonight's limerick really doesn't exaggerate the wonderful things that happen to most cars' performance when they switch to signal effo, for whether your car is a new high-compression beauty or a bit on the tired side. This signal superfuel is scientifically engineered to help you enjoy the very maximum in pickup, power, and ping-free smoothness.  That's why I'd like to suggest this little experiment. Wait until your gas tank is almost empty. Then fill up and see if you don't agree that your car is a better car with signal effo. Well, Paul, so Cynthia's planning a sailing trip with Edith, a secret one, with a promise of telling you something about you.  At least $100,000, Paul, perhaps even more later on. But there's still one more move, isn't there? That evening takes you downtown to an out-of-the-way studio apartment, which serves as a base of operations for a client and friend of yours, a commercial motion picture producer, Fred Mason. I'm afraid I don't get this, Benton. I don't get it at all. What's the matter, Fred? You've never questioned any other deal that's been offered you. This isn't nearly as unusual as most. Sure, I take pictures of lots of things, but this doesn't sound so good. $10,000 sounds good, doesn't it? Yeah, but sometimes it depends on how you earn it. You could afford to move away from all that racket. Oh, it doesn't bother me. Just the mill train, let the guy know what time it is. Well, Fred, business hasn't been good, you know it. All you have to do is take a half a reel or so of movies for a client of mine. Movies of what? Not commercial, I'll bet. Not exactly. You see, my client believes the wife of a friend of his is going to meet with an unfortunate accident. Wait a minute. If this is murder, I don't want any part of it. Who said anything about murder? Besides, you wouldn't be involved. I just want your pictures for proof in case it should happen. Why doesn't your client's friend save himself a lot of trouble and just get himself at the border? He thought of that. His wife won't give him one. Now it seems that he has a girlfriend who's the jealous type and she's taking the wife sailing tomorrow. Where? Or Fisherman's Point, you know the spot. Tomorrow morning, sometime after 10. My friend has a feeling something will go wrong. So I want you around in another boat with a movie camera to get pictures of the whole thing. What for? Well, like I said, for proof. Sounds more like blackmail. Look, suppose I did go along and nothing happened. There's still a thousand in the toilet. But if there is an accident, your client will pay me 10,000 for the pictures.  Why don't you do it yourself? I've seen some pretty good stuff you've shot. I want a professional job. It's safer. Then there's the developing of the film. Look, I'll do a lot for dough, but like I said, you can handle it. I don't figure getting mixed up in any murder.  What?  The one you came to see me about? You told me to keep quiet unless something came up. Yes, yes. At the time, silence seemed like the best defense. But since the victim died, I'm not sure it isn't my duty to report it to the authorities. You can still count me out, Paul. There's not enough money in the world that makes me up in a deal like that. But, uh, I'll forget you were here tonight if that'll help any. All right, friend. That's the way you feel about it. Just forget it. Forget the whole thing. Well, Paul, Fred Mason wasn't as easy as you thought he'd be. You're surprised and disappointed that he wouldn't go through with a deal. For it leaves just one answer, doesn't it? You'll have to use your own movie camera, develop your own film, do the whole job yourself. In a rented fishing boat, you follow Edith and Cynthia's course. A mile down from the point, there's a vast formation of rocks and Cynthia skillfully sails amidst them to gain protection from anyone watching from shore. Approaching the area behind them, you cut the motor, allow the current to carry you along quietly and drift into a commanding but protected position. A telescopic lens does the rest as the whole scene appears in the camera finder. Cynthia pointing suddenly to divert Edith's attention and quickly shifting the sail. Edith is hit squarely and topples overboard. Cynthia dives in as if to help, but actually she merely watches Edith's feeble struggles until she goes under. Then it's all over, with Cynthia sailing off. Alone. And then later, piloting in and out between the rocks, you navigate to the spot, react excitedly as you see Edith struggling back to the surface, the tide helping her toward the rocks. She might make it and hold on, but you take care of that. You swing the boat around, you catch her with a bow. Yes. Yes, it's really complete now, isn't it, Paul? All over. It isn't easy in the week that follows. The recovery of the body. Your seeming grief, the funeral. A couple of weeks later, you decide it's time. Phone Cynthia and drop by her apartment. Another cocktail, Paul. No, thanks, Cynthia. Just a cigarette. Light? Thanks. Why did you ask me to set up my movie projector, Paul? I have some pictures, some last shots of Edith. Oh. I developed them myself. Quite a process. Poor Edith. The stuff came out a little rough, but clear enough to make me glad I have them. I understand, dear. Paul, you do need a drink. I'll get more ice. OK. Maid's off tonight, isn't she? Taking advantage of Cynthia's absence, you open a desk drawer, take out Cynthia's 22 revolver and slip it into your pocket. Cynthia bought it a year ago after a series of robberies of wealthy women. She's never touched it since. You're sure she's even forgotten it. But you feel safer knowing it's no longer in her possession.  There. Just help yourself if you want anything. OK, thanks, Cynthia. Paul, you've been wonderful about everything.  It was to me, too. I can't help but feel I'm to blame. Drop the accent, Cynthia. Edith's death wasn't an accident. It wasn't an accident? I don't know what you mean. Oh, yes, you do, Cynthia. And I have the evidence to prove it. Paul, you're not inferring that it was... As I said, I have the evidence. I'll switch off the light and you'll see what I mean. It's a movie of Edith and me. Sure. You're the star. But how did you...? This scene coming up is my favorite. The one where you deliberately push Edith overboard. What's the matter, Cynthia? Don't you like it? Stop it!  OK. Paul, you won't believe it. I planned to tell you about everything later. You said you'd marry me if anything ever happened to Edith. I know, and it turned out exactly as I thought it would when I said it. Something did happen to Edith. Yes, darling. And in a little while we can get married. That's what we wanted. Well, not exactly. I never figured on marrying you, Cynthia. Not at all. You see, I'm in love with someone else. You can't... Paul, you planned it. From the beginning. All the things you said about loving me... It was a big joke with you, wasn't it? You never cared about me at all! Oh, I wouldn't go that far. I like you a lot. To give me, say, a hundred thousand dollars, I wouldn't even tell the police about what happened. I'd even give you the pictures, too, the negative. A hundred thousand? I've already picked out the stocks you can sell to raise the cash amount. But, Paul... But you can sell the first thing in the morning. Then you'll have plenty of time to get the cash for me before the bank's closed. Let's say tomorrow evening, shall we, Cynthia?  The money is as good as yours, isn't it, Paul? You pour yourself a drink, settle back in your favorite chair, and think of all you can do with one hundred thousand dollars. And then... Hello, Paul. Ah, Fred Mason. How about asking me in? Oh, sure, sure, come in. Sit down, I'll make you a drink. Oh, no, no, don't bother. This, uh, isn't a social visit. I got the thinking over the little deal you offered me. Decided it was an easy way to pick up ten thousand dollars after all.  I didn't want to disappoint my client, so I took the pictures myself. Maybe you like mine better. I was fishing further down, you see. You took pictures, too? A view, Paul. Finishing Edith off with your bullet. How much do you want? Ten thousand dollars. When? Tomorrow soon enough. And if I can't raise the ten thousand? Oh, I know another party who'd come across right away. A lady named Cynthia Winders. Okay, Fred. I'll have it for you tomorrow. Good. Bring it to my apartment. Around, uh, five o'clock. I'll be there. Okay, here's your money, Fred. Let's have the pictures. Sure. Seems like can't this. Looks pretty. Well, okay. Your film's on the desk. Reject it in the other room if you want to run it and make sure it's all there. I'll check on that later. Right now there's a little favor I'd like to ask you to do for me. What kind of favor? I want you to write a letter to Cynthia, saying you won't give her the print or the negative of the film she wants, unless she pays you a hundred thousand dollars. But if you don't get the dough by tomorrow, you'll take the pictures to the DA. What are you trying to pull? I'm not that crazy. You won't write it? Not on your life. Maybe this will help you change your mind. What? Now, wait a minute. Put down that gun. Uh-uh, Fred. I won't put it down until you write the letter. Now walk over to that typewriter and sit down. Very good. Now, one other thing, Fred. This print you gave me of the film, it isn't enough. I'll have to have the negative. Well, that will cost you more. I figured you'd pull something like that, Fred. That's why I made you write the letter before I brought the matter up. And that's why I brought along this gun. You won't shoot as long as you don't have the negative. You're wrong. I will. You'd never get away with it. Somebody would hear you. You've forgotten about the milk train, Fred. The one that tells you what time it is. I timed it over very carefully. It'll cover the sound of a shot easily. No. And this is Cynthia's gun. They'll pin this on her. Maybe he's figuring you were blackmailing her. You've got it all figured, haven't you? Uh-uh. There's still the negative. Oh, I know it's here in your apartment someplace. You'd better play it smart, Fred, and give it to me, then I won't have to shoot. You're bluffing. Uh-uh. There's not much time left. How about it? Okay, Fred, if that's the way you want it... No, no, wait. Wait. Don't. I'll give it to you. The negative's there in the middle desk drawer. All right. Well, thanks, Fred. That's all I wanted to know. Wait! What? You said you wouldn't do it! You said you wouldn't do it! They say a lot of things. You make sure you have the negative and all the prints of Fred's film. Then you walk to the fireplace, touch a match to the edge of the blackmail note which Fred typed, and snuff it out quickly so that the police will think Cynthia attempted to burn it.  You'll have to be satisfied with a hundred thousand, because Cynthia's arrest for the murder of Fred Mason will close the source of any future supply. You decide to get the money as soon as possible. You're sure Fred's body won't be discovered for several hours.  You hurl Cynthia's gun into a small flower bed as though Cynthia had hidden it. But where you're sure the police will find it, then you hurry home, destroy Fred Mason's films, and phone Cynthia. Hello, Cynthia. How are things? Ready to complete our little deal? You've got everything for me? Good. I'll be there in just a few minutes. The whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending to tonight's story. You're used to having announcers try to sell you something, but tonight we're turning the tables. We want you to sell your signal dealer something. And that something is the unused mileage in any smooth old tires you have on your car. What's more, signal dealers in most cases pay you more per mile for that unused, unsafe mileage in your old tires than you now pay for safe, carefree miles in new first-line Lee tires. That probably sounds amazing. In fact, it is amazing. So amazing that signal dealers are now selling more new Lee super-deluxe tires than at any time since the war. And what super tires these are. Made of cold rubber, toughened still further and patented fill black O, today's Lees actually wear 30% to 40% longer than ever before. So don't be penny-wise and pound foolish if the tread on your present tires is getting smooth. Don't miss this opportunity to sell that remaining unsafe mileage for today's highest price. Ask your signal dealer for his trade-in offer. You'll be surprised how little it will cost to trade your old unsafe tires for safe new Lee tires at Signal service station.  As you sit across the room from Cynthia and her Malibu beach house, you're sure everything is going to be all right? Yes, because you're completely in the clear, and then... I, um, have a disappointment for you, Paul. I'm not giving you the money. No, wait a minute, Cynthia. The police will be very interested in that film. They'll be more interested in the last half, the part where you kill Edith with your boat. What? You see, Paul, a man named Fred Mason came to see me a few days ago. His price was a lot cheaper than yours, and his merchandise much better. Double-cross. Clever picture, man, isn't he? Why don't you see how clever, Paul? I have the projector set up for you. Another print. He made another print. I wouldn't be surprised if he made several prints. And the part where you become the star is ready to go. Go on. Run it off, Paul. What are you going to do, Cynthia? I haven't quite decided. You're in the first half of this film. If you showed it to the police, you'd only implicate yourself. Uh-huh. But the picture also proves I didn't really kill Edith. I might be able to talk myself out of my part in it. You couldn't. Look, Cynthia, I... Who's that? How would I know? Whoever it is, they're the impatient parts. The Cynthia Winters? Yes? Lieutenant Blake, homicide. Oh? After what you did this afternoon, I somehow didn't expect to find you home. What do you mean? You're under arrest, Miss Winters, for murder. Oh, but there must be some mistake. No mistake. We know you did it. What's going on, Cynthia? Who's this man? Who are you? I'm Paul Benton, Miss Winters' attorney. Better be a good one. She's gonna need it. I'm Lieutenant Blake, homicide. Well, what's wrong? My boys and I stopped by Fred Mason's apartment a few minutes ago. We got a tip. He was mixed up in a hit-and-run accident last week. We found him very dead. But, Officer, why would I have... You got a little careless when you left his apartment. A blackmail letter you left didn't burn up. But... I didn't kill Fred Mason. We found a gun outside, too, hidden in a flower bed. Twenty-two, the kind ladies like to use. You ever see this gun before? Oh, I guess. But I didn't have... Easy, Cynthia. We'll straighten this out. Paul, you did it. And fixed it so I'd get the blame. Cynthia, you're hysterical. I'm afraid you can't put the blame on anyone else, Miss Winters. The evidence against you was too strong. Well, well, now here's the coincidence. A movie projector, all set up. That blackmail letter we found mentioned some film. We couldn't find a trace of it in Mason's apartment. Now, this wouldn't be it in the projector, would it? No, Lieutenant. It's just snap off the lights and run it. Yes, Lieutenant. But it isn't anything I tell you. I keep it going. Well, you've been fishing, eh, Mr. Benton? Looks like you're going to have a chance to make a rescue. You're a pretty good skipper. You can turn a boat on a... Turn on the lights. Well, that's the first time I've ever seen anyone murdered by a boat. I don't think you'll do her much good defending her for that Mason killing, Mr. Benton. You're going to need an attorney yourself. For the murder of your wife. Let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program, the Whistler. Eat Sunday night at this same time.

Welcome traders to another tickmail chart here with me Patrick Munnally, just taking a look here at the EuroDAR on the four hour timeframe. Price has been correcting the advance that we saw from the 31st of March lows, the savings and the positive qualities. And so we're looking for a correction to complete here. It's a double correction, complex correction. As we hold below 121.75 now, but for another leg to the downside to test 122.58, which is the equality objective versus the X leg here, Y leg equal legs to 122.58. Watch for bullish reversal patterns here to set long positions, initially looking for an extension hard to test 123.50. As always, traders, plan the trade, trade the plan. Most importantly, manage your risk to next time. Thanks very much.


Okay, I know I've done a lot of videos on this sort of thing but I recently went to the local bowling alley and they just remodeled and put in a new video arcade and of course their machine to, you know, get your points on a card to play games is running Windows and if you swipe from the left you can pull out the keyboard and then of course you can bring up the Windows desktop just like I have shown in many different arcades. Of course I wouldn't put my credit card into a machine like this so I'll pay cash and just shove my money in there and I also, I put five dollars and I got five cards with a dollar each that way I can hold on to those cards and use them for other projects because they have both magnetic strips and barcodes on the back. Anyway, just showing you another example of ill implemented touchscreen kiosks out in the wild. If you enjoy this you might enjoy my other videos, check them out. As always please visit FilmsByChris.com that's Chris the K, link in the description. As always I hope that you have a great day.


This morning we have a bunch of news for you guys coming from Nintendo because for some reason Nintendo decided to drop a ton of news in the middle of the night. We have news on a brand new Kirby game, Zelda concerts, a new Donkey Kong thing, the update for Splatoon 3's DLC, also a brand new Zelda something to talk about here coming from the music community. So we have a lot to go over. We're not going to waste any of your time. Let's go ahead and dive right into our very first story and this deals with Kirby. So how laboratory is hiring for a new Kirby game? This is their post literally over on Twitter. It says looking for Kirby development staff three weeks left until the deadline. Would you like to create the quote unquote Kirby of the stars series with us? We are looking for entries from enthusiastic and experienced game developers. They have a deadline to apply by February 13th, etc, etc, etc. And a lot of their hiring posts are for 3d animators, 3d artists and programmers. Now this is obviously all fascinating news and it just gets the speculation going on what this Kirby project is that they're hiring for. Is it another 3d Kirby game to go in line with the likes of Kirby and the Forgotten Land? Is it a completely different 3d Kirby game going in an all new direction? Is it more side scrolling Kirby just with 3d art assets? Look we don't really know what it is and then you're going to start to think well what are they going to do is mouthful mode coming back which is really just like a new take on the copy abilities and what is going to happen? I don't know. So you guys can go ahead and speculate on all of this down in the comments below because we are into another story. Now this next story I find to be really interesting. If you guys remember yesterday we talked about a possible Nintendo Direct leak over on 4chan and look as the day has gone on and we've had some time since it it does sort of look like the 4chan stuff might not be real. Of course it's not like we know because again the Direct hasn't happened right? But what I find interesting of course is something that a known insider has said. In fact we're talking about Necro Felipe who is in our reliable category on our rumor believability scale. So we're going to call this a rumor of course because we can't verify any of it. But we're going to go over here to a post by direct feed games aka Nate the hate where he just brings up you know that I've been wondering if we had seen the ninja or cowgirl peach costumes in prior trailers because that was one of the evidence for the 4chan stuff because you can see here there is you know a symbol for the ninja here a symbol for cowgirl this is for my prior trailer. So yeah this doesn't necessarily mean that the stuff is fake it just means that what people were acting like was proof myself included wasn't. But then we get down to the Necro Felipe here and he said that the reason that he thinks it's false is because the next Donkey Kong game will not be country. Let me repeat that again he's saying it's false because the new DK game the new Donkey Kong game is not a country Donkey Kong game. Now does that mean it's going to be a 3D Donkey Kong game? No that doesn't guarantee that and he's not saying that but obviously we associate a lot of side scrolling Donkey Kong games with the country brand they could obviously do one without the country brand but it would be quite interesting to see if they decide to go back to the Donkey Kong 64 era try to like do something new and fresh with that it is something many of us want to see we've been wanting to see Donkey Kong go back into 3D for some time but again that's not what this necessarily means and it's just a rumor it could still be a country game it could also not be a country game these are all rumors remember rumors are meant to be doubted but now we get to get into some actual news and this really caught me off guard last night when we were live streaming because hey we're going to be live streaming something quite special coming up here in February on February 9th bright and early at 7 a.m what are we talking about well Nintendo has announced that we should mark our calendars for this special legend of Zelda orchestra concert visit our official YouTube channel on February 9th to watch the full pre-recorded performance that's right we have a Zelda orchestra concert but here's the thing that's not the only part of this story why because it's not the only thing getting a concert getting into this one Splatoon SOR stage management here this show must go on the Splatoon 3 deep cut concert previously scheduled for Nintendo live 2024 will be held on February 10th it'll be posted on Nintendo's official YouTube channel so you can watch it at home and there's no time for this this isn't going to be like a live event sort of thing you know whatever it's just more and more concert goodness now it's possible the Zelda stuff is also or was also going to be part of that Nintendo live and they're just deciding to do it this way we don't really know it's quite fascinating and to me I'm just excited for the Zelda one especially since we know the exact time and thus we can live stream react to the music I can't wait man I love orchestrated music and we have more news on orchestrated Zelda music coming up but first we gotta dive into some game news because Nintendo surprised us all right and early this morning at 7 a.m central time with this tweet SOR big newsroom here with an exciting announcement side order wave two of the Splatoon 3 expansion pass paid DLC is coming at you on Thursday February 22nd join up with new faces and old friends to escape the world of order and we'll let you get a full screen of the trailer here while we continue to talk about the two three side order look very interesting is a lot of people thought this could be a Nintendo direct announcement are they clearing out their announcement slate potentially because they might be revealing a certain something I don't know that is obviously up for debate but it is fascinating that they are making the decisions they're presently making surrounding well Splatoon 3's DLC it's just nice to have a date now you guys know and we get to get into something quite cool so we have some dear friends of the channel people called Zelda re-orchestrated you guys have heard their music if you've ever come to my live streams especially and they had an announcement today so they said we are proud to announce our next big project scoring sessions a new series recorded with a live orchestra you get to help decide which arrangements we do next and you know what let's queue up their most recent one play it in the background it's glorious okay so the series begins with an iconic piece from Twilight Symphony arranged by Tim Stoney and orchestrated by Erie Barak Fisher this new rendition is brought to life by an 80 piece orchestra and choir featuring a captivating duo between Amy Turkarp and uh Demontem on what's he doing on piano hell yeah next up we've always said our fans help make zero what it is from our founding to our current operations as second quest now we're taking that statement to the next level by giving our fans the opportunity to vote on one of two proposed songs through donations on our website and purchases on bandcamp the first scoring sessions arrangement to reach its target will be recorded next while the other remains open for donations to ensure it's a ventral realization going forward supporters will also vote on future pieces to be recorded which each song having a set funding goal to acknowledge the community support donors will receive a variety awards celebrating their contribution to this groundbreaking series check out our site for more details we're going to go to their site in a moment now but you see with the launch of scoring sessions we're also unveiling a new high dynamic range edition of music exclusive to bandcamp in wave and flak formats the hdr edition is dedicated to presenting audio in its purest unmodified forward all purchases of the hdr editions will go towards funding the next to a range enough 50 50 split minus fees hozah and look that's pretty cool you guys might be wanting to know what we're well first of all where can we donate and what is next well that's where we need to go over to their actual website so we'll put a link to this down in the description for anyone that's actually interested in donating towards this project and helping fund the next one as you can see they have their they're going over all the stuff you can get and here is what you can vote on so right now their current efforts have ballad of the wind fish oh baby baby baby i love leeks awakening oh i would love for that wouldn't happen anyways ballad of the wind fish from leeks awakening and there's some details on it here a brand new arrangement and then a high rule field from twilight princess another epic song from the zelda series and you can see that here are the donate now buttons and with the goal of three thousand dollars whichever one hits that goal first is going to be the one they do first and i presume they obviously need to hit these goals because hey you know these are professional orchestras they need to get me paid right it's not just free to make music at that thing so there's a whole bunch of different levels with early access and acknowledgement and future voting rights and you know you can buy it on band camp as well so there's a whole bunch of stuff here we're going to link to this down below if you guys are interested in supporting the project zero has created a lot of amazing music over the years and i'm just really happy to show support uh i'll probably be backing the links awakening one personally well with a little bit of money over the weekend because i just want that one to happen so bad there you guys go five really big stories for you to kick off your day don't forget we have the nintendo prime podcast tonight an eight person podcast we're going to be doing a lot of crazy things including debating whether switch choose coming out in 2024 or 2025 yes we have people on both sides of the argument and so much more it's going to be one hell of a show thank you guys for being here i am the tanya ruffle jance from nintendo prime and i'll catch you guys in the next episode


In muscle meat, there's a heme protein that contributes to the meaty taste of meat. Well, there's a heme protein in the roots of soybean plants, too. That can be churned out to provide a similar flavor and aroma in plant-based meat, which is used to make the impossible burger possible. The question is, are there any downsides? When the European Food Safety Authority was considering the safety of adding heme iron to foods, their main concern was the potential increased risk of colon cancer. I mean, we know meat causes cancer. Processed meat, bacon, ham, hot dogs, lunch, meat, sausage is considered a group one carcinogen, meaning we know it causes cancer in people with the same level of certainty that something like smoking causes cancer, whereas something like a burger just probably causes cancer in people kind of like DDT. But what's the role of heme iron?  Meat's got the pro-inflammatory long chain omega-6 arachidonic acid, more of the aging and cancer-associated methanic trans-fat endogenous hormones, like IGF-1, not to mention the ones that are implanted in animals as hormonal growth promoters. Then there's also toxic pollutants that build up the food chain, like pesticides. I didn't even know about that, formaldehyde. According to the prestigious IARC, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, there is strong evidence that heterocyclic amines, heterocyclic aromatic amines, contribute to the cancer-causing mechanism. These DNA-damaging compounds are formed when muscle tissue is exposed to high dry heat, grilling, roasting, baking, broiling, basically anything above steaming or stewing. There is also strong evidence that the formation of so-called N-nitroso compounds contribute to the cancer-causing mechanism. These are carcinogens that can form inside our gut when we eat the meat, but there is also strong evidence, according to the IARC, that heme iron contributes to the cancer-causing mechanism. Now normally I might leave it there, but other authoritative bodies I respect, like the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund, are more tentative. Well, they agree there is some evidence that the consumption of foods containing heme iron might increase the risk of colorectal cancer. They consider the evidence suggesting such a connection to be limited. Much of the available evidence is based on lab animal data, such as this in which dietary heme was found to disrupt the gut flora, aggravate inflammation, and potentiate the development of intestinal tumors in mice. But it's critical to note that in all the laboratory animal models that have been used, the rodents ingested meat or heme equivalent to people eating up to 40,000 pounds of meat a day.  It's easy to see how casual readers could get confused, though, in this study ascribing a central role for heme iron in the colon cancer development associated with meat. The authors claimed they were aimed at determining at nutritional doses, which was the main factor involved in cancer promotion. So, doses of heme were chosen to mimic red meat consumption and boom, significant increase in tumor load. The researchers include that they're finding strongly suggest that at concentrations that are in line with human meat consumption, heme iron is associated with the promotion of colon cancer development. But if you look at the actual diet they were given and do the math, that's 500 times the level of heme found in people's diet, in excess of like 70 pounds of meat a day. Of course, even if they really did use the right doses, they're still going to end up with data on the wrong species, which brings us to clinical studies, which we'll explore next.


Statistics and Excel. Coin flip statistics example in Excel. Get ready, taking a deep breath, holding it in for 10 seconds, looking forward to a smooth, soothing Excel. Here we are in Excel. If you don't have access to this workbook, that's okay because we'll basically build this from a blank worksheet. So you can just open a blank worksheet, but if you do have access to this workbook, three tabs down below. Example, practice a blank. Example, in essence, answer key. Practice tab having pre-formatted cells so you can focus in on the heart of the practice problem. Blank tab being a blank so we can practice formatting the cells in Excel as we work through the practice problem. Let's go to the first tab to get an idea of where we will be going. The scenario being, we're imagining we have a coin. We want to test whether or not the coin is fair. In other words, if it was a fair coin, we would expect it to have an even chance to be landing on heads or tails. If we were to flip the coin, if it's unfair, then we're going to think that the chances are more likely that it lands on either heads or tails. How do we test whether or not the coin is fair? Well, typically, we'll run some samples of it. We'll run some trials and we'll take a look at the results of the trials. Now, as we do this, we want to get an idea of the statistics involved and the testing involved and also the tools that we can use in Excel to formulate these tests so that we can practice with those tools in Excel as well. So let's go to the first tab over here and I'm going to format the entire worksheet and I'm going to do that by selecting the triangle up top or you can say control A, right click and format the worksheet as we do every time in Excel. Basically, we're going to go to the currency tab and bracketed negative numbers bracketed and read no dollar sign. I don't think I need the decimals because of the type of problem that we are working in. So I will remove the decimals. Then I'm going to zoom in a bit holding control and scrolling in. So I'm currently at 220. I'm at 235 now. And so now what we want to do instead of actually flipping the coin multiple times is say how can I simulate that process in Excel. Now, if we had an even flip of 5050, then we have that we want to a random outcome between two variables.  So let's first think about that. Let's let's think about how we can get a random function between one or two. Now remember when you're flipping a coin that in theory you can say well if the coin was fair and I was to flip it for the answer. If you flip it for the entire population being infinity, infinity times, then you would think I'd get an even break between 5050 heads and tails. So when we actually do a sample, when we test it, what we're really you can think of that as a similar thing as taking a sample from the entire population. In this case, the entire population being infinity flips a theoretical concept and we're testing it with a finite number of flips and then seeing how close we get to what we would think would be the appropriate response given the whole population would be 5050 and infinite flips. Like that's one way you can kind of think of it with our sampling concepts. So we need something that's going to come out if it was a fair coin between even random between one and two. So if we say I'm going to have my random results, random results between one and two, I can say this equals a random function between and then I'm just going to say the bottom number is one and the top number is two. So one comma two, there's our random function. This will give us random numbers between one and two. Now it doesn't give us a decimal. So if I was to say maybe you might think that it's going to give us like point something right now it's going to give us the whole number of one or two. So that basically stimulates an even coin if I was to flip an even coin. So if I then copy that down, we can then get and by the way I'm working here in row six. So I'm going to actually delete some of the rows above it because I thought I was in row one to start with. I'm going to put my cursor on the one drag down to row five, right click on the selected area and delete that stuff. And then I'll also make this bold with a full sheet font group and make it bold. So then if I'm on number one, I'm starting at number two. If I was to copy this down like 100 times, let's say we copied it down, you know, 100 times, then we would have a sample in essence of 100 flips, right. And so now we've got random amounts of one and two. Notice that every time I click on them, they randomly shuffle again. Let's go ahead and put some a table in here. So I'm going to say format or I'm sorry insert table. There's our table. And so if we want to make this a little bit more formal, let's assign what one and two means now. So I could then say let's make be a little bit smaller. I don't want to put anything right next to the table. I need that space we've got to keep the table separate the table needs to be separate than the other stuff. And so I'm going to say the heads are or a one represents heads right so one represents heads and tails is going to be the two the two is tails. So let's go ahead. So we've assigned our terms and go to the home tab font group. I'm going to make this blue and bordered. I go to the more colors down here typically if I don't have the blue yet, and pick up that blue is the one I want. And then font group and put some borders around it. All right, so then what I'd like to do instead of having this shuffling around all the time, I can then copy my results. I'm going to copy this whole tab and then paste it special without the formulas pasted with with just the just the numbers one two three. So I'm going to copy put my cursor on a column right click the cells copy them.  I just want the results of that shuffled those shuffled numbers. So I'm going to put one two three. So there we have it. Let's make another up hold on a second. It didn't paste one two three. I'm going to paste it one two three. Okay. And then I'm going to make a skinny E column skinny E. And then if I was to look at my results here, I would I could then do a fancy little formula if I wanted to to basically say whether it's heads or tails. So here's the outcome. I know that one is heads and two is tails, but I could try to say how can I convert my random ones and twos to heads and tails. We'll practice logic functions in Excel basically asking Excel to give us a result of heads. If this number happens to be a one, if this number is not a one, then we'll say give us tails. That's really all we need to do because there's only two variables heads or tails. So we're going to say if it's a heads, give us heads. If it's not heads, give us tails. So I'm going to put my cursor over here. We're going to say equals it.
