One of Ulysses S. Grant's division commanders was Brigadier General William H. L. Wallace. The names of Shiloh can be confusing, since another division commander was Major General Lou Wallace, so there were two different Wallace's serving as commanders of Grant's second and third division respectively. William Wallace had actually taken over the second division while Grant's former West Point teacher, General Charles Smith, was sick. You may remember that Smith was Henry Halleck's choice to replace Grant, but even if Halleck had gotten his way, Grant probably would have been in charge at Shiloh anyway, because Smith had injured his foot between battles. After it became infected, he came down with dysentery, and as anybody who has ever played the old Oregon Trail computer game knows, people tend to die from dysentery. Smith would linger until April 25th when, like so many Civil War casualties, his life would be claimed by illness rather than combat injuries. So William Wallace was now in charge of Smith's division, and his wife, Anne, was visiting him at Pittsburgh Landing when the Battle of Shiloh broke out. As we saw in the Battle of Bull Run, it was not uncommon for officers, spouses, to join them during their battlefield campaigns at the start of the Civil War. But of course, prior to Shiloh, the United States had never seen a battle, or even an entire war, quite as bloody as what took place on April 6th and 7th of 1862. Anne Wallace believed that she was there to visit her husband, but as wounded men were brought to the hospital ships on the river, she realized that she had to do what she could to help. Anne Wallace wasn't the only woman on board helping to care for the sick and wounded soldiers who quickly began to crowd the hospital ships around Pittsburgh Landing, but unlike the others, she had not been prepared to serve as a nurse. When she arrived, she thought she was going to visit William during the peaceful lull at Pittsburgh Landing. But when her steamer pulled up, she could already hear the exchange of a gunfire in the distance. This was still early in the morning, and the people on the river assured her that it was just pickets returning from their night watch. Because the pickets used barrel loaded weapons, the only way to unload their guns at the end of their shift was to discharge it. Though early morning gunfire was hardly a cause for alarm, but as Anne Wallace was putting on her gloves and coat to go see her husband, an officer from an Illinois regiment, Captain Coates, said that he should go and see where William was first, and when he returned, he could lead her to him. So Anne stayed on the boat and waited on the officer's return. As she later recalled the experience, quote, Before half an hour, Captain Coates came back wounded in two places. One painful wound in the hand, but neither of them dangerous. I learned that the big battle was in progress and that my husband had moved with his command to the front. The only thing then to do was to wait where I was. That long day on the steamboat, its scenes and sensations are beyond description. The wounded were brought by hundreds onto the boat. Some could sit and stand about and talk, others helpless and pallid, but all without exception, heroic in their fortitude. I did not hear a groan or murmur except those unconscious under influence of chloroform or sleep. I passed from place to place holding water and handing bandages for the surgeons until it became so crowded, I felt I was in the way, end quote. As she tended to the soldiers, we can only imagine that she must have been keeping a worried eye out for her husband, who as far as she knew, could be joining the rest of the wounded any time. She had not been prepared for this. Perhaps as a grim reminder of the fate that might await her, another officer's wife was also there, helping to care for the wounded. This was Mary Newcomb. During the battle of Fort Henry, Mary's husband was part of the brigade led by William Wallace prior to his taking over Grant's Second Division, so the men would have known each other. But Newcomb's husband had been killed at Fort Henry. After his death, Mary decided to continue volunteering, working unofficially as the nurse for her husband's regiment. I don't know what Anne thought of Mary's presence, or if they even interacted. But it's hard to believe that Anne Wallace never considered a Mary's situation while she tended to wounded soldiers and awaited on word from her husband, who was on the front lines of the battle. But the worries she faced and the horrors she saw must have been nothing to the experiences of the soldiers she saw, which perhaps helped her keep herself together. In the same letter I quoted a minute ago, she wrote, As I sat there, I saw these shells strike the sides of other steamers and cut off limbs of trees near where the road was made, and pass buzzing across our deck. I felt dazed and horrified, yet enthused by some means, so I was not afraid, but felt like a soldier. I knew the danger, but felt lifted above fear of it. The panic-stricken, raw troops seemed perfectly insane. The steamer had to keep a slight distance from the shore, or it would have been swamped by the rush of officers and men. At one time, an officer got aboard and ordered the pilot to touch shore and take his men on board. He threatened the pilot with his pistol. I sat nearby. The only person on deck except the pilot and this officer. The pilot pretended to obey him, but really did not, thus giving the frenzy demand time enough to come to his senses. As the shot and shell whizzed about, I felt it would be safer below. But the feeling that exhibition of fear on my part would make it a little harder for that pilot to stand at his post kept me from going down." Even without William on the field, Anne Wallace's father was a colonel on the field at Pittsburgh Landing. Both of her brothers were lower ranking officers as well, and even two of William's brothers and additional extended family members were in the battle. At one point, she spoke to an army chaplain that she and her husband knew from back home. When she went up to him, his face was grim. This is an awful battle, he said to her. Morbidly he added, you have a great many relations on this field. You cannot hope to see them all come home safe. She told him, optimistically, that they had all been at the battle of Fort Donaldson as well when they survived that. As she walked away, Button repeated, it is an awful battle. When she turned around and looked at him again, as she tells the story, quote, the dread truth fell on my heart like a thunderbolt, like the cold hand of steel. Words needed not to tell it. It was before me. I was stunned, chilled, almost paralyzed. Suffering came hours afterwards. Very soon, Brother Cyrus came to me self-charged with the duty of telling me my life had been darkened. My husband was dead, and the enemy had possession of the ground where he lay. It was all they could tell me, but it was enough. I'm Chris Calton, and this is the Mises Institute podcast of historical controversies. In the previous episode, we looked at the brutal first few hours of the Battle of Shiloh, in which the Confederates attempted to ambush the Union troops camped out at Pittsburgh Landing. Although the ambush itself was only partially successful, as a lone Union officer suspected the attack and formed a line to defend against them, the Confederates managed to break the entire Union line and take the ground they had been occupying. Grant was away from the battlefield when the battle began, and when he arrived a little before noon, his army seemed to be losing the battle, not unlike the situation he faced when he missed a morning attack at Donaldson. But Grant also knew that reinforcements from both Lou Wallace and Don Carlos Buell were on the way, and if they arrived in time, they could turn the tide of the battle in Union favor. As we will see, the brutal Battle of Shiloh had only just begun. While Stuart's men were fighting desperately to hold the Union left, as we saw at the end of the previous episode, the rest of the line was gaining reinforcements. Three fresh Union divisions showed up to join the fight, led respectively by John McLernand, William H. L. Wallace, and Stephen Holbert. Although Sherman and Prentice had fallen back, they maintained the line as best they could, and the new divisions moved in to fill the gaps. But the Confederates had only sent a portion of their forces to initiate the battle as well. So while the three new Union divisions were moving into position, nine Confederate brigades were getting ready for a second assault. The terrain that the battlefield took place on can be described as an hourglass, shaped by hills in the creek that ran through the area connecting the Tennessee River. The battle began at the southern end of the hourglass, which spanned roughly three miles between two different creeks. As the Union line fell back, as we covered in the previous episode, they were forced to reposition in the narrowest part of the hourglass, sandwiched between two other small creeks that ran downhill toward each other on either side. As the new Union reinforcements came in, the Union line compressed to fit around the mouths of this narrow terrain, so that the Union center was situated at the smallest portion of the hourglass. This is where the bulk of each army would meet each other in battle, and it would be here that the Battle of Shiloh would reach its bloodiest levels. At one point during the fighting, one Confederate force was repelled by a terrible volley of Union fire, prompting one Southerner to exclaim, it's a Hornets Nest in there. From that point on, the Confederates started referring to this area as the Hornets Nest, a name that is now commemorated at the site of the battle with a sign that reads Hornets Nest, center of the Union line. Tactically, this battle is a mess to follow, but the tactics aren't really the story of the Battle of Shiloh. When these two armies faced each other in and near the Hornets Nest, both sides suffered devastating losses, both in terms of numbers and officers. Since Grant had arrived on the battlefield, he had spent his time moving between his commanders, receiving updates and giving orders. DePrentis, whose division formed the Union center from the start of the battle before falling back, Grant ordered him to hold the new center at all costs. To support him, William H. L. Wallace moved to his left, and the two divisions spread across the Hornets Nest. To the left of Prentis was now Brigadier General Steven Holbert, with his division covering the famous Peach Orchard, where his men saw combat. And on the other side of the Union right was held by McLernand and Sherman, but it was at the center, the Hornets Nest, that the heaviest fighting would concentrate. The Confederates moving in on them came from the wider part of the triangle, stretched across maybe three miles, but moving closer together as they advanced. Their move was more difficult in practice than it would look on paper. They had to deal with the thick forest and smoke surrounding them. And as they moved in from each side, troop confusion abounded. In one case, two different regiments were moving in on a Union battery when another line of Confederates showed up behind them. The new Confederates mistook the first two regiments for Union soldiers and fired off a volley that claimed at least five lives from their fellow Southerners in addition to wounding several more. When an officer from one of the regiments rode up in order to cease fire, the Confederates fired another volley and one of the bullets hit the officer's horse. The animal panicked and bucked him, but his foot caught on the stirrup and the horse dragged him painfully away from the fight. In one case of friendly fire, the Confederate involved seemed almost to be asking for his comrades to shoot him. One of the blue-clad Louisiana officers captured a Union banner and vangloriously tied it around his waist and even retrieved a Union cap and put it on. He then rode toward the rear of the Confederate line, proudly displaying his Union flag and cap in his own blue militia uniform when somebody yelled out, here's your Yankee, which prompted a group of fellow Louisianans to fire at him with some of their bullets hitting other nearby Confederates, killing and wounded at least 27 men from friendly fire. According to one soldier, the only reason they didn't keep firing is because they saw, quote, a woman and a sun bonnet who compelled us to restrain ourselves out of regard for her safety, end quote. The reasons for the woman showing up on the field in the middle of the battle or lost to history, but it's likely that she was looking for her children who may have been recruited by one side or the other shortly prior to the fight. According to the testimony of a local girl who was only nine years old at the time and lived on a house right on the battlefield, one local woman at her house was, quote, screaming and wringing her hands and mother was trying to quiet her. She could not do anything with her. She said that she had two sons in the battle, one on each side fighting against each other, end quote. There's no evidence to suggest to that this woman was the same one roaming around the battlefield, though it would be possible. It's just as likely that they are two different women in similar situations. If friendly fire didn't cut down the Southerners, Union fire might. Major General Ben Chetham and his division were among the first to face the Union at the Hornet's Nest. They found themselves facing an onslaught of bullets and cannonballs. Dozens of men fell in the initial attack, but the one that most affected Chetham was a young boy named John Campbell who had been serving as the general's aide to camp.  The Confederates sent in one brigade after another to try to break the Union's center and each time they got pushed back in a bloody exchange. It's hard to do justice with words, the carnage that was taking place at Pittsburgh Landing, as bodies piled up on top of each other. The soldiers were pressed together so tightly that the smoke from the thousands of rifles made it impossible to see or breathe and the thick forest blocked any wind from blowing it away. Their eyes watered and their nostrils burned as they had to try to peer through the cloud to make sure they were shooting at an enemy or that an enemy wasn't about to shoot them. At one point, according to the depressing testimony of one soldier, quote, a horse galloped through the woods nearby. Its belly ripped open and intestines trailing. It became entangled in its own guts and fell to the ground, end quote. For those who fell during the fighting of the Hornets Nest, I would not be dramatizing to say that the dead were the lucky ones. Many of the men who are now littering the ground were still alive but too wounded to move. The ground was covered with dry dead leaves from the previous autumn and the artillery sent sparks that ignited brush fires that spread around the battlefield, indiscriminately engulfing the dead and wounded who couldn't escape. Finally, frustrated with the inability to break the Union line, Braxton Bragg ordered a bayonet charge with Colonel Randall Gibson's brigade. Gibson protested to saying it was reckless. He wanted artillery, which his men currently did not have supporting them, but Bragg stood by his orders and with no artillery support, Gibson led his men in three consecutive bayonet charges, none of which succeeded in breaking the Union line. His men were cut to pieces. One cannonball tore through a line of six men killing each of them and sending bits of their insides, splattering gruesomely against their friends. One regimental officer who had a bullet shoot through one cheek and out the other, later said that Bragg sacrificed the brigade for the useless charges. That man was Colonel H.W. Allen and he would survive the war to eventually serve as governor of Louisiana. And Allen was not wrong. Gibson's 2,300-man brigade suffered nearly 700 casualties during the Battle of Shiloh.  While Braxton Bragg led the assault on the center, General Beauregard and Johnston led the charges on each flank. Beauregard faced Sherman and McLernan on the Union right and Johnston led the charge against Hurlbut at the Peach Orchard on the Union left. Also facing the Union left was former U.S. Vice President John C. Breckenridge, who commanded Johnston's reserve corps, which consisted of three sizable brigades, including several batteries and three cavalry regiments. On the Union right, Sherman and McLernan were struggling. The Union forces had been driven back and they could hardly organize a counterattack with all the officers they had falling. This doesn't mean that the Southerners were having an easy time of it, as plenty of Confederates were falling as well. But while both sides lost officers, the Union losses here disproportionately left regiments without commanders. At stake were the Union cannons that the Southerners were working to take possession of. Chaos reigned at Sherman's end as panicking horses broke free from their harnesses and started running around, riderless and scared, leaving several cannons immobile. Sherman and McLernan tried desperately to reform their lines, but this was a monumental task for officers dealing with green troops facing heavy fire. Prior to the battle, Sherman had a conversation with a young staff officer who, having grown bored of the peace at Pittsburgh Landing, was eager to attack the enemy. Now in the middle of the battle, Sherman found him once again and remembered his eagerness to fight. Well, my boy, Sherman said to him, didn't I promise you all the fighting you could do? The young staff officer apparently now had his fill of combat. He replied that he would now gladly relieve Sherman of any further obligation under that promise. Many Union regiments stood and tried to hold off the attacking enemy, but the effort was futile. The Confederates swarmed in and drove the Yankees back even more. They failed to pursue, however, apparently satisfied with having captured 14 Union cannons. But like a pendulum, Sherman and McLernan swung back for a counterattack, reclaiming the ground they had lost. McLernan observed that, quote, the ground was almost literally covered with dead bodies, chiefly of the enemy, end quote. But the pendulum swung back once more with a new Confederate attack. The fighting this time lasted for two hours before the Union right finally broke. On the other side of the battlefield, Breckinridge was sending a brigade against the Federals of the Pea Georgia. The brigade leading the charge was commanded by Colonel Winfield Statham. Here, the Confederates had a tougher time than those who captured the batteries from Sherman and McLernan. When Statham led his men over the hill toward the enemy, they immediately faced a terrible volley of gunfire that dropped dozens of soldiers and drove Statham's brigade back. Now taking shelter where they could, they started exchanging fire and men dropped on both sides, but no ground was gained. Statham tried to order his men forward, but the soldiers refused to abandon the relative safety of whatever cover they had found. From a distance, General Johnston saw Statham's attack falter and he believed he had to do something. He turned to Isham Harris, the exiled governor of Tennessee, and said of the Union soldiers, quote, those fellows are making a stubborn stand here. I'll have to put the bayonet to them, end quote. Johnston started organizing a force of soldiers to send in a battle and by two in the afternoon, he believed he was ready. He had four brigades lined up and Johnston was ready to initiate what would be the first coordinated attack of the battle. If he could break the Union right flank, he could then join Bragg in assaulting the center and the battle would be won. As he sat on his horse, Johnston confidently turned to his aide and said, quote, that checkmates them. His aide agreed, yes, sir, that meets them. But Breckinridge came to Johnston and reported that he had a regiment from Tennessee who was refusing to fight. They'd seen enough bloodshed to know they wanted no part in it. Johnston was enraged at the idea that he had cowards at his rank. He sent Breckinridge to get them ready to fight. But when the former vice president returned, he shamefully announced that now the entire brigade was refusing to go into battle. Hearing that the fear was spreading through the troops, Johnston decided to lead the charge himself. He and Breckinridge rode to the front of the line where he gave the men orders and encouragement. He rode up and down the line of soldiers, clinking his tin cup, the spoils of war that he took in the previous episode against the bayonets of his men. These must do the work, he said, referring to the bayonets. Men, they are stubborn. We must use the bayonet. He then stopped at the center of the line and shouted, I will lead you. When Johnston charged in with four southern brigades behind him, the Federals could no longer hold their ground. They fell back half a mile and the Union line at the hornet's nest started to collapse. This was about the same time that the Confederates, who had been tied up with stewards to attach brigade from Sherman's division, had finally forced the Yankees back and now they were joining the attack at the center as well. The attack was epic and destructive. Even for the Union men facing the charging Confederates, the attack was almost awe-inspiring. One soldier from Iowa later described the scene, quote, It was a splendid sight, those men in the face of death, closing and dressing their ranks, hedges of bayonets gleaming above them and their proud banners waving in the breeze. Our guns, shotted with canister, made great gaps in their ranks, which rapidly closed, not a man faltering in his place. And now the field of officers waved their hats. A shout arose and that column, splendidly aligned, took the double quick and moved on magnificently. We could not repress exclamations of admiration, end quote. Like the rest of the battle, the scene was a bloodbath and not just for the soldiers. At one point, a herd of goats wandered helplessly into the middle of the battlefield. One soldier from Tennessee later wondered, quote, Why a soldier would shoot at a goat when so many of the enemy were present to shoot, end quote. Most likely the men were not shooting at goats, they were just shooting, their vision obscured by the forest and the smoke and the chaos of battle. Either way, the entire herd of goats was shot down in minutes. More fire started and as one soldier described it, quote, Dead and dying were soon enveloped in a general conflagration, end quote. Another soldier later recalled that, quote, The flesh had been burned from their set teeth, giving them a horrible grin. General Hurdlebutt was forced back by the Confederate charge, but he retreated slowly, costing the Southerners precious daylight. When he sent one of his staff officers, LD Benner, to ride his horse across the battlefield to deliver an order, the poor horse took a bullet that didn't quite kill him. For Benner, this may have been the toughest loss he faced in the entire battle. As he later wrote, quote, I could have cried when I lost him. He was not dead and sooner than see him suffer, I stepped around and put a pistol ball through his head. I was sorry to lose him as he was a splendid horse, end quote. But for all the carnage, the charge was going well for the Confederates. When Isham Harris rode up to Johnston after the successful push, the Tennessee governor said, quote, I had never in my life seen him looking more bright, joyous and happy, end quote. The battle was still raging, but the Confederates clearly had the upper hand. Johnston's horse had taken a number of bullets but was still standing, and Johnston had taken three hits himself, though none of them seemed to be serious. Johnston turned to Harris and said, quote, Governor, they came very near to putting me out of combat in that charge. He then pointed to his boot, where the leather was flapping after having been ripped apart by a mini-ball. When Harris asked if the general was wounded, Johnston replied that he was not. He then ordered Harris to ride over to Colonel Statham and order him to take care of the Union battery that was still harassing the Southerners. Now back in 1837, Johnston participated in a duel against Brigadier General Felix Huston over who would get to lead the Army of Texas. Johnston was wounded in the duel and the pistol ball that hit him severed the sciatic nerve in his right leg, leaving it numb. As a result, Johnston was unaware, 25 years later, the Battle of Shiloh, that he had taken a bullet in his numbed leg and the bullet had cut open an artery. Immune to the pain, Johnston had no idea as he gave orders to Governor Harris that he was bleeding to death on top of his horse. When Harris returned from delivering the orders to Statham, he found the general slumped over, weak from blood loss. General, are you wounded? Harris asked. Yes, Johnston replied. And I fear seriously. These were the last words Albert Sidney Johnston ever uttered. Perhaps he would have survived had it not been for a decision he made earlier in the day when Johnston sent his personal surgeon, DW Yandel, to care for the wounded prisoners of the 18th Wisconsin Regiment. When Johnston gave the order, Yandel protested. His duty was to keep Johnston alive, not union prisoners. But Johnston insisted, saying, quote, No, these men were our enemies, but are our prisoners now and deserve our protection, end quote. Now, as Harris sent for Yandel, he was far back at the Confederate camp, carrying out Johnston's order instead of close by where he could potentially stop the bleeding. Of course, it's likely Johnston would have died anyway, especially given how long it took him to even realize he was seriously wounded. It's also possible that the story of Johnston's order to a surgeon was embellished reflect favorably on him after his death, which isn't exactly uncommon in these situations. Though it was standard to care for enemy wounded, so the story isn't unbelievable either. But none of this would matter. Johnston went limp. The reins fell from his hand. And Harris had to help Johnston off his horse, sitting him down against a nearby oak tree. Harris asked Johnston where he was wounded, but Johnston was no longer able to speak. Harris ripped open the general's shirt, but found no injury. Finally, he saw blood pooling on the ground behind Johnston's knee. But he didn't imagine that could be the injury that was taking the general's life. When more of Johnston's aides arrived, Harris tried to pour some brandy down his throat, but it merely dribbled down Johnston's chin. Minutes later, the Confederacy's second highest ranking general had finally bled to death. He would be the highest ranking officer to die during the entire civil war, Union or Confederate. Beauregard, upon receiving word that he was now the commanding officer, chose to continue the attack, but the day was almost spent. After hours of a terrible struggle, the Union line finally broke and the Confederates took the hornet's nest. The Confederates had won the day, but it was a peeric victory. It was also a very temporary one. As the Northerners were being driven back, Don Carlos Buell was finally arriving, bringing with him nearly 20,000 fresh troops. Lou Wallace and his 7,200 men also finally arrived, having been waiting elsewhere for official orders. Lou Wallace's situation is actually a matter of debate and following the original narrative of Grant and his defenders, Wallace was lost. But Lou Wallace's story is different, claiming that he was positioned according to the orders that had been delivered to him and his personal records list him waiting for orders while the battle was raging at Pittsburgh landing. Grant would eventually admit that he was not sure what orders Lou Wallace had actually received, but it's enough to say that contrary to the longstanding narrative, the division commander was not lost and he wasn't being timid. It seems most likely that the orders were unclear and miscommunicated, which is plausible enough in the middle of a chaotic and unexpected battle. But between Don Carlos Buell and Lou Wallace, when the sun came up on April 7th, the Confederacy would be down a commanding officer and the Union would be up nearly 30,000 men. Back at the Hornets Nest, General William H. L. Wallace survived the maturity of the day's fight.  The bullet broke through his skull and pushed all the way through his head until it came out through his left eye. He fell off his horse, landing head first on the ground where he stayed until some of his soldiers retrieved his body so that their general could receive a proper burial. But the next morning, Ann Wallace got a new surprise. As she tells the story, quote, on Monday morning, about 10 o'clock, as I was sitting beside a wounded man just brought in, Cyrus came to me with the word that will had been brought in after the rebels were put to flight and oh joy, he was breathing. I flew to the adjoining boat where he was. There on the narrow mattress on the floor in the middle of the cabin, he lay, his face was flushed, but he was breathing naturally, so like himself, save for that fearful wound in his temple. A ball had passed through his head in a manner that made it marvelous that he could still live. But the greatest joy was yet to come. Will recognized my voice at once and clasped my hand. I was thrilled and exclaimed, he knows me, he knows me. Others said that could not be, but Will's lips moved and with difficulty uttered yes. Words fell to tell how sweet it was. I believed my husband dead and he is still alive and knows me. He seemed so happy and satisfied to have me near him, but lay in calm self-control, even in death, conscious that his moments of life were continued only by his rest. Hope with us grew brighter until after periodical delirium, caused by excessive inflammation, he passed away and his pulse began to fail. Then he waved me away and said, we meet in heaven. They were the last words upon those loved lips and he faded away gently and peacefully and hopefully. End quote. Anne Wallace had come to Pittsburgh landing to visit her husband and she did indeed get to see him one last time before his death. I said early in the episode, battlefield tactics are not the story of the battle of Shiloh. It is stories like this that best illustrate one of the bloodiest days in US history. Like General Johnston, Wallace's death makes history because of his high rank and in part because of the records Anne Wallace left behind, which most battlefield deaths do not have. But Wallace was only one of thousands of soldiers who fell that day and the battle was not yet over. We will look at the second and final day of the battle of Shiloh in the next episode.

Hey there, fellow web developer. I'm Rob from the Chrome Developer Relations team. And I wanted to let you know that right now we are live streaming our entire progressive web app summit live from Amsterdam. So if you're interested in building offline network resilient applications that work great on all devices, then we have loads of good content for you.

Hi everyone, so I'll be talking about Victoria police station locator. We recent in fact yesterday we made the station locator live and it has gone live just yesterday so it's fresh off the press. Just let me talk about it this was a very small component that we had to make for the Victoria police. So if I talk about the requirements Victoria police approach salsa to build a new component on their existing website. They wanted to elevate the user experience for finding the police stations. The police station data. They already had police station data available within their organization in our DMS, which is an API that they have. But the old implementation was not using it. So they had to add update the those stations manually which was naturally very honest. The problem was that that impacted also the ability for to allow the data to be accurate and you know, so for example, if one of the police stations was the phone number change or if the police station was removed or something like that. It went through a whole process where before it would be updated on the site so they wanted something which was much more instant and not if not instant but at least much more time conscious. The objective of the new component was to SSI to improve the user experience and minimize the dependency on manual content entry. And for the solution. The Victoria police already has a website and the website is actually hosted hosted on single digital presence. Also that website is supported by the single digital presence team. We had to just build on top of that. So what we did was from the backend perspective we ought to be created a new content type call stations we automated the migrations from the API into Drupal. We also made sure one of the problems with such approach in our in the historical projects that we had done was that whenever this API migrations used to happen. For example, in this case they wanted it to happen twice a day. It would be really really, it would be very processor heavy on the service. So is DP specifically asked us to make sure that this syncing was done in a much more performant way. So what we did was we actually did a delta syncing from the API so the API call whenever that was done that was based that was a delta call rather than doing a full so that was the number of records touch was minimized. We in the from the front end perspective we implemented suburb and postcode search for stations. We also implemented filter wire stations filter wire whether the station is open 24 hours or not filter by distance and then filter by specialty services. In addition we did a Google Maps integration as well. Very quickly, our team had a relationship manager project manager designer tech lead back end developer front end developer and a Q&A analyst. In fact, the back end developer for the project is on the call today. So, yeah. At the time and the project inception was 27 March, first bill started the bill started in May and go lay was as I said yesterday so all in all it was a 15 day project 15 weeks project sorry. It would have been amazing if it was a 15 day project but it was a 15 weeks project. So they're talking about a few challenges so when we started the project the API for the station was still in development. We did not have any API at all. And it but during the project failed when we started building the API team from Victoria Palace was very, very helpful and they were able to provide us with appropriate samples. So that made the development a bit easier and the API went into production last week and and hence we were able to launch just yesterday. The other major issue with the project was the partial ownership of the project and because it was a partial ownership. We did have to make sure that SDP was with us in all stages of the project. So we made sure that SDP was kept in loop for whatever design we were implementing technical designs and they knew exactly what we were doing. Also, we made sure that when we were building we built it as a separate feature. So we made sure that before we merged the feature into develop they had a good review and we walked them through the whole functionality as well. Another thing that SDP specifically requested after we started the project was that they wanted the back end module to be developed as a separate module in a separate repository that would then be added into the Victoria Palace repository from the back end. So that is why we created a new repository, a new module called Idestationlocator and that actually added to the complexities a bit because of the dependencies etc. But having said that, it was a great learning experience and we were able to do that well. So a very quick demo. Before I actually demo the new functionality, let me show you what the old functionality was. Can everybody see my screen and the old functionality? So this is how the old functionality used. This is find my local police station and this is how the local police station is shown. For example, if now I wanted to search for a specific suburb, I would like something like Ararat and then search for it and it will show me the result. And that was it. This was naturally, as you can see, this is a keyword search. So it's very, very, it's not very nice. So take for example, when I search for Boxhill, it gives me Boxhill yes, but it gives me everything with hill in it and box in it. So forest hill. And if I go Pyramid Hill, Swan Hill, etc, etc. So if you look at these, they are just not relevant results. Also, it gives us some information about the individual stations, but not a lot of information is available. Now, looking at the new thing that we implemented just yesterday, this is a new police station location page. And when we land on the page, as you can see, we can see a full listing. We also have a maps integration, wherein we can zoom in and do a specific area and I can actually filter or search by a suburb. And then I'm searching by suburb, I can actually say something like this. So when I do an any distance, it will still show me all 332 results, but it will sort by distance. But when I do something like, let's say 10 kilometers, then I press on search, then it limits my results as well. I can go to individual bullet stations as well. And it gives me much more information and also gives me a map there as well. And we have a map view is also when we are on maps we have actually disabled the filter by distance because when I'm on map it tries to focus on an area but the more I zoom out, I can keep on like start seeing more results. I can't keep on, etc, etc. And from here as well, I can go to individual police station. And that's it. That's the main demo that I wanted to show. Any questions. This is using the back end. Sorry, I didn't get you. No, we are using elastic search as DP actually uses elastic search. Okay. Well, sorry, go ahead. Sorry, thanks. Are there any challenges you came across? Particularly around pagination. No, because this was mainly listing. So pagination on the listing on the maps and on the I think, if I'm looking at challenges pagination was not a problem. We did not face any issues there. But if I talk about problems or challenges, I would say map view was pretty challenging because deciding on the behavior of the maps is always how it should work should it should we allow panning should we allow filtering on my soul. Those were some of the reasons why, for example, we disabled this, because if we filter, and then user tries to pan across the map, that would mean they would not see results which was not looking very good. So that's why they were, I would say quite a lot of challenges are on map behavior, but when it came to the list, I don't think there were a lot of challenges. Okay, I had a brief look at it yesterday and I was just because I've done a few of these myself I was curious to see the sort of ways that you did and I noticed that when you do a search it returns everything. And then the pagination is just pulling off the data already has. So it uses elastic for filtering by keywords. Yes, but it doesn't use elastic for filtering by pages, which is fine because it's not a lot of data, but I was just wondering if there was a story behind that. There's nothing, no specific story. But because of the fact that we just had 300, 300 results, we knew the initial load will not be enough even if even if we have like in the future there are a lot of stations how many can they be maybe 500. So and that's not a big chunk of data. So that's why that implementation was pretty okay. Just about the back end. So this is a simple content type that you're managing on the data. Yes, this is a simple content type. We are migrating into that content type and we have made sure that the content type is not editable. Okay, sorry. So it just get the data from the API always. There's no manual update. That is correct. It gets the data from manual from the API twice a day, 12pm and 6pm. And because of the fact that we wanted to make sure that API was the source of truth, we have disabled any editing in the group interface. And I will be talking to you go in specifically when hand over. I'm just curious about one thing like everything is coming from API and it's API driven thing. Why exactly they use the back end, you can directly call the API. Yes, there was a there was a huge discussion around that. But the main reason was that Victoria pull is specifically wanted individual pages. And secondly, they. So if I go to the old implementation, if you if you see so they had a lot of pages like this location question mark. So in within their content, they were linking to pages like this, and we needed to create a list of those and also needed to create redirects. So that is why having a content type, and we had a major discussion with Anthony from SDP around that, that should we directly will push the data into elastic search and not use Drupal content types at all. Using the well known module. What will that we used on the other project Alan, we put on that data pipelines. We did discuss about that as well. But finally it was decided that it makes more sense to use Drupal, especially because of the fact that the content is not that huge. We're just talking about 320, 330 stations. On this, like it's, it's a, it's a locator you can implement any kind of locator with this approach. I think that's why you have a separate module. The reason why we have a separate model is not because we wanted it. It's because SDP wanted it. They wanted a module which is separate, which was which is in a separate repository, and that can be installed on on the reference site. So that's how we started with a separate module. But, but it's sort of not very separate as well because the front end is not separate, only the back end is separate. So, back end is a separate module but front end is not so it's not that modular, as we would have wanted, but SDP front end does not support separate module so that's why we were not able to do that. So that's the reason for using the elastic API. This is an existing project based on SDP and SDP uses elastic and we just implemented one component the station locator nothing else. So, that's the reason why we use elastic which was already there. The default stack in SDP implementation that for the search they are using elastic everywhere. So they can call directly front end API. They don't need to go with the Drupal route. Any more questions? So just one question about the Google Maps like there's a limitation with the API nowadays. So how exactly are managing the API calls and all. It's a straight forward API calls every time. So when you say about limitations, there are two API keys that we are using. One of the API key uses the Google map embed and Google JavaScript API. Now both these APIs are actually free and they don't have any kind of any such limitations so that was fine. The other API that we have to use is Google Geo coding and Google reverse coding. And let me again share my screen. So Google reverse coding is used when I use this feature. So when I use I use my location I can't show how to use it because I have not enabled allow I have not allowed my browser to use my location. So when I use when I use this feature the browser sensor location and then it needs to be reverse geocoded to give a lat long. So that's where we use the reverse geocoding. And when I do this and select one of these. So the API that we are using for postcodes is that it has only suburb names and postcodes it does not have Latin long. So when we select this we use the Google geocoding API as well. So these are the two APIs that are actually the ones that need some investment, but that's that's what it is. Was that your question. It's a standard thing nothing special going on. We did have a detailed conversation and with Victoria police and Victoria police API. The API team actually told that they have the option of code coding and geocoding and reverse geocoding now. That's something that we were told just last week. So we have clearly told them that this is something that we can look forward in the future we can change our implementation to use their APIs for coding and reverse coding. Stop recording now.


The morning markets kickoff with your host Tommy O'Brien Good Monday morning everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien company alive from TFNN just after 9 a.m. Eastern time We got about 24 minutes to start a trading for the month of November Hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend out there the market's picking up right where we left off higher prices a little bit Of a pullback in the last about hour to two hours. We make a high in the S&P's up at 46 19 We're still positive by about 10 points in the futures right now trading at 46 so six But we've given up 13 points from the highs you see the acceleration at 4 a.m. Basically right back to where we were at about 4 a.m. Tech stocks pretty similar action Friday We accelerate higher so much for Amazon and Apple Disappointing and bringing the market lower not quite the scenario. I mean look where we started off yesterday Excuse me Friday 15,600 early pre-market we finished the day at 15,850 backing out the action when we came into Apple and Amazon earnings You were trading at 15,750 for 100 points in the Nasdaq 100 above that price level now up a hundred points right now 35,804 all the markets giving up some of the gains a bit over the last hour to two Russell 2302 Russell positive by seven points Bitcoin a little bit of volatility in both directions You're technically negative 800 bucks, but you're trading above 62,000 62,200 you got crude catching a continued bid Thursday we're approaching 80 bucks today. We're approaching 85 dollars folks 84 44 right now up 85 cents in crude gold trading up $5 gold traded lower on Friday the dollar Excuse me dollar had quite a move of strength on Friday You had gold pulling back with that excuse me with that move today You're up five bucks gold clawed back almost all those losses. We had on Friday morning We got silver up nine pennies at 2404 And we got notes and bonds with a little bit of higher yield yet again We're looking at a two year right now a two-year yield We'll get into it in a moment the highest yield we've seen since March of 2020. We're coming into a Fed meeting They may start tapering those bond and asset purchases Fed meeting begins tomorrow We get an announcement at 2 p.m. On Wednesday press conference to 30 on Wednesday We got jobs non-farm payrolls Friday for the month of October lots happening along with earnings Of course this week as well. All right jumping back to the markets here s&p's up seven points We'll check out Amazon and Apple to kick things off There's your acceleration on Thursday night for their earnings Amazon Maybe that was a buying opportunity folks. I mean look where we were yesterday. I keep saying yesterday Friday You had a low of 32 73 you finished the day a hundred bucks higher on Amazon shares And we're basically flat this morning 33 75 you jump to Apple. I mean clawed back a lot of it as well Apple All right, you want to you want to hear something crazy Apple finished Friday Above where you finished out Wednesday. So yeah, it looks like you had a lot of devastation on Thursday But for these equities all you really did was give back the gain You had Thursday coming into earnings on Apple you started the trading day at about 149 and 150 That's right where we are right now Amazon a little bit lower than where you started it, but you're only back to last Tuesday prices folks That's not what a what a harsh pullback looks like when you have earnings on Thursday You missed to the tune of maybe 10 to 12 billion dollars for the current quarter Amazon might not even make any money for the holiday season usually their biggest quarter out there Remarkable you had a company valued at 1.6 or 1.7 trillion dollars That's not gonna make any money the whole point of companies is to make earnings folks Now how much revenue you have you can't bring it to the bottom line Doesn't matter that's not the case with Amazon. They will bring it to the bottom line I think in the long term, but they're not gonna do it on this current holiday season and that's usually their biggest But I've talked about it before and the way I look at it with Amazon They're investing bottom line whether it's in human capital whether it's in capital in terms of automation Delivery process they're investing in it They're their competitors are gonna have to be investing in it as well And they have AWS on the side that's able to support that with the margins They have I think AWS was growing at 39 percent for a 16 billion dollar business for a quarter Think about that They're doing 16 billion dollars in 90 days and they're growing on a year-over-year basis at 39 percent And that's an acceleration of growth That's just mind-blowing when you look at it that way Amazon trading at 3375 now both of those companies were down dramatically on Friday What you had is yet other companies picking up the slack like Microsoft Microsoft look at Friday's action You finish at 33162 were basically flat today, but man Microsoft I think you're up 1.7 percent on Friday alone after accelerating higher on their earnings Microsoft Biggest company in the world as of Friday you take a look at the Analyze fundamentals tab you scroll down We're talking about a 2.488 About as close as you can get to 2.5 trillion dollars 2.48 trillion is Apple Microsoft's gonna be close on their heels 2.47 2.47 and 2.48 2.468 technically we're rounded up to 2.47 Apple right on the heels of Microsoft as the most profitable not profitable biggest market capitalization companies out there Taking a look at some of the other fag stocks for their market cap. You're talking about Google right under 2 trillion 1.97 Now Amazon lagging a bit. You're at about 1.6 or 1.7 trillion. I believe 1.7 trillion for Amazon Facebook Pulling up their valuation just under a trillion now 900 billion as they've pulled back checking up the chart of Facebook Facebook interesting action last week going for meta a complete rebranding. You were up to 384. You're down to 323 you know the The future might be meta it might But stock prices do not like to wait five or ten years for something to pay off. That's going to be very very capital intensive and I would be real careful with this equity Facebook Even if you believe that the future is virtual reality, which it may be folks I mean, it's it's hard to imagine that won't be And the case that they are making in Facebook is listen, you got to get there to where virtual reality is mind-blowingly amazingly real Once you get there It's going to be a shift a generational shift that people will adopt it And so Facebook when you think about that think about the capital it might take to get that perfect VR world And that's what Zuckerberg is going to be going after because they have Oculus Which is pretty cool from what I hear never used it But they have Oculus right now But part of their problem is only hardcore gamers are adopting Oculus because it's not quite VR It's just kind of very cool gaming When you get into VR where you can just do normal everyday stuff and feel like you're in virtual reality Which is what they're going for that will be mind-blowing But if that's the level that they want to get to and they're going to be plowing as much money They can't in over the next five to ten years to get to that. I Don't know what profits going to look like at Facebook They're going to be using those advertising dollars to put it into some big money I think it was 12 billion dollars something like that a year at least But I could see that number going up because Zuckerberg is going to have a high bar It's reading about this weekend and I think he's right that They want to be first to market and the the person who's first to market with a VR system that actually feels like real life Imagine it seems like that might be a turnkey that would really Change things in a big way but talk about capital in a big way as well. So watch out for this one Facebook You're talking about giving back almost all the games you had from March down to almost the 618 You're trading this morning up a couple bucks at about 325 for Facebook shares All right, we got the S&P's folks. You want to see a cool chart checking out beforehand? There's a nice three-year weekly on the S&P. I mean this retracement doesn't even make sense, right? You started here last November That's barely a blip. You could almost say that we've been in a one-way trip from the lows of last March of 2174 to 4608 Stay tuned folks.

We have the s&p's positive by 11 right now trading at 4608 as i mentioned quite a Chartered the s&p's up here right you put it on a weekly my goodness not often folks that you can go from 21 74 What do we have 130 percent from the lows? But even take where we were at the beginning of 2020 right take covid lows out of it You're trading from 3200 to 4600. You're talking about adding 1,400 s&p points over the period of just under two years Uh to 3200 you're pushing 40 percent on a two-year basis and that's taking out That well pullback folks. That's taking it out, which is crazy. You want to go back three years Right you're approaching 100 return from the beginning of 2019. You I mean ballparking 2,500. We're at 4600 I bring it up because context is important. We've had almost no pullback in this run Yes, we had a pullback in september It's gone It's not even noticeable on the chart the trend line almost stays intact to the upside which is remarkable Especially you got a miss from apple you got a miss from amazon And the market takes it in stride and trades higher on microsoft talking about becoming the biggest company in the world They take over the lead they pick up the slack and the market's trade higher 4608 right now. We'll see where we open for november trading. It's a new month All right with that in mind. We jump over to some of the headlines. We'll talk about the fed first So fed meeting tomorrow announcement 2 p.m. Eastern time on wednesday press conference 230 on wednesday It's going to be an interesting one as they may start to talk about Pulling back on some of the 120 billion dollars on a monthly basis that they're making in Assets whether it's talking about 120 billion in bond purchases out there asset back securities Now what I want to get into there's your s and p year today. I've talked about just the run it's had We get jobs numbers on friday now september's number came in in 194,000. I mean look at this chart folks. Do you remember trying to remember When we were in january february march april right the vaccines Get announced in november they start becoming readily available in march and in april The thought was you come into the summer. There's an explosion. We got 962,000 jobs in june We got 1.1 in july And then what do we get 366,000 in august 194,000 in september They will be looking for 390,000 about jobs coming down the line on friday for the month of october average expectation about earnings Growth 0.4 percent. That's an important one because we're dealing with inflation as well now Taking a look at the yield and this is what I referenced here. Okay now I'm not sure who this gentleman is shoemaker. Who are we talking about here? Nonetheless doesn't really matter because this is a straight fact that the two-year yield Okay, it's up 30 basis points since the last fed meeting five weeks ago And that's a lot when you're only trading at 50 basis points folks You were coming into the last fed meeting at almost 20 basis points pointing to As they put it here. I want to pull this up uh The two-year yield which most reflects the fed has risen more than 30 basis points since the last fed meeting You got to pay attention to this folks in a big way now you jump over to whether it's the three-year one-year two-year You're dealing with the 10-year right now of 1.6 percent We've been well above that During the covet pandemic the last year and a half But the two-year talking about shorter term really rise and we're talking about 0.52 percent right now on the two-year Something to pay attention to it would be interesting to see what chairman paul has to say whether it's tuesday Whether they lay out the plan for tapering for the 120 billion dollars in monthly bond purchases How quickly are they going to do that? The expectation is to what to do it over five to seven months something like that maybe eight months to pair it all back But you're going to get those details and the market may be getting a little bit ahead of that in a big way And that's going to come down the line and he's going to have to answer a little bit in terms of What happened to the september number 194,000 jobs? interesting that they're going to do that only two days ahead Of another employment number from the month of october And we'll see how that plays out it's november already with each number you build the expectation a little bit when you miss you miss you miss All those expectations folks in terms of the last two months the rhetoric has been okay The delay is a little bit longer than we thought right the extra unemployment benefits for those that felt like that was really holding The economy back right that was the reason why there were 10 million plus jobs open Uh at a time when we still weren't filling them with unemployed While folks that was september 6th that those benefits went away We're coming up on two months later They are not an impact anymore all of the rhetoric that had to do with that Yes, it was a variable how big of a variable was always the conversation how big of a variable of an impact was it having We still got 10 million plus jobs open folks and we still got eight or nine million jobs to make up to get back to the pre pandemic levels Looks like those numbers were not as meaningful as maybe people were feeling that they were We're going to get another number in november. What's going to be the spin this time if we are not even adding, you know 200,000 jobs on a monthly basis when we got millions to make up We're going to find out on friday and chairman powell is going to be talking on wednesday All right, what else we got going on jumping down the line. Let's jump to some oil Oil rises on speculation. OPEC may spurn biden's appeal on out book not too surprising there right the appeal I mean, what is the appeal of president biden telling opec? That they should be pumping more oil Oil rising on speculation that they could spurn the mounting pressure to boost production at a faster clip even as consumption was ahead of supply I mean, yeah, you got a bunch of OPEC companies that would want to push out oil But it's also not a bad deal folks.  They're illegal in america. OPEC is a monopoly We just don't get to run Monopoly laws across the globe, which is why they literally are a cartel That works together to fix their production and their pricing for the benefit of all of them It's illegal in the u.s. If companies worked like that because they affect pricing so much and it doesn't help consumers point being There's a battle there, you know That their own product is skyrocketing in price and yes if they can push out more of that product at the same price They'd love it, but you start pushing out more product and you drop the price level They only have a certain amount of oil in perpetuity forever Yes, that number might last years if not decades, but they only have a certain amount of oil in the ground They're not making more oil in the ground for these OPEC countries And they kind of know that to a certain degree, which is why you see whether it's uh, saudi arabia Trying to add different parts of their economy so that decades down the line They have an area of the economy that will flourish post oil I don't see that moving much folks. We're at 85 dollars right now and even if they do Okay, even if they do OPEC supply is not to that market what it used to be Uh, you have oil rising in a big way and uh, it's not moving in a big way despite us pressure The cartel's preference is to go with the prudent approach and that keeps the oil market tighter for now Uh, yeah, and and nonetheless folks. We know how crude's going and even as we've been talking Crude continuing higher. We're pushing 84 50 right now We're up a buck 75 folks from just where we were at 4 a.m. This morning on crude Let alone you take a look at this thing. It has been a one-way shot from august 19th We're trading at 62 bucks. You're right now at 84 49 let alone you go all the way back to 33 bucks I mean this this might have been The trade of the pandemic in terms of the lows of last april That's when you had the april expiration contract going a negative I recall let alone you had oil, you know really settling at The 20s the low 20s for a while. I mean look where we were these are weekly charts You were between 20 and 30 dollars for crude for One two three four five six seven eight nine Arguably nine weeks you were between 20 and 30 dollars for crude You have a consolidation from june until vaccines become effective the world opens back up And now we all know we got supply chain issues. We got crude oil issues and uh We're going to open up the market when we get back in three minutes.

See how they're reacting right now We're going to get microsoft in there. Is that is that does an m belong in the fang? Where does where does microsoft the biggest company out there right now? Uh down about two tenths percent three thirty ninety four We jump over to amazon down two tenths as well apple shares down two tenths and google Flat right now facebook shares remarkable facebook up another percent you look at the volatility they had whether it was monday They had their earnings last week to 344. You had the announcement of meta on thursday You trade from 308 to 325 and we're sitting right above that price level right now at 326 53 for facebook shares As the market opens up november trading Uh, let's jump over to bitcoin real quick bitcoin trading at 62,240 A couple interesting articles out here first one grayscale bitcoin trust They're the parent company. How about a 10 billion dollar valuation with soft bank and google leading the investments there Uh remarkable when you look at the acceleration that this company has had now What's interesting here is that they the digital currency group is the parent company of several big names in the crypto space until now It's valuation was somewhat of a mystery as it had only raised 25 million in primary capital Since la ching six years ago. So they're going to public. They're raising 700 million In a secondary round on monday first round was maybe that 25 million there And that puts it at about 10 billion dollars one subsidiary the one we're probably all most familiar with grayscale bitcoin trust They're going to try and push that into an etf The world's biggest digital asset manager with 50 billion dollars under management quite a price tag in a big way Now we jump from that To this one which is pretty interesting Uh reading about this morning mystery of who invented bitcoin hangs over scientist trial Don't think that that's going to come out But some of the numbers in here that they're talking about Are pretty staggering folks in a big way speculation over mythical satoshi nakamoto, right? Maybe the creator Not maybe the creator of the identity not sure But no matter what you're talking about you're talking about dueling claims over 65 billion dollars in crypto currency folks And you're talking about 1.1 million bitcoins So what this has to do with? Is that you have a computer scientist craig right?
