Good Evening Sir and Majmeet. Here we are team 12 with co-members Dr. Raj, Raman Niyag, Thirumalesh and Myself Pratheesha. Now we are going to introduce our company to you all. Our company name is Vistagro Private Limited. And the product we are going to launch is Energy Bars. That is also in two different types of sessions. Next slide. The topics we are going to cover is our profile, mission strategies, team management, market research and business plan is also covered in the same P50. Next slide. Coming to our company, it is a well established one which was founded in 1901 by Mr. Kailash Kumar. We have a market value of 92.34 crores till now and we were into different verticals like dairy, agrochemicals, processed foods etc. And initially we started with plant protection chemicals and then it took really five years for us to stand as a brand in the market. Later on we started different segments and penetrated more into the market. In this process we gained a lot of consumer base and the trust which is constant motivation for us and it is our main values for our company. Next slide. Coming to our vision, vision and strategies, our main vision is to expand our wings and get at the needs of people in various sectors without limiting ourselves to a single sector. And mission is actually after entering into different sectors, now we are going to step into tag nutritious foods. So we thought of launching energy bars which is the idea of one of our employees. We thought it is a good idea because in today's busy world many people are skipping their meals and as a replacement for that they are going for many fast foods. So which are taken on a regular basis will be unhealthy. We thought of this process and we thought of providing consumers with nutritional and balanced meal. That is why we are going to launch energy bars. Our current mission is to produce and market our new product successfully and make it available to everyone. Coming to our strategies, in urban areas as our company is a well established one, we are thinking of promoting our product using the consumer base and the brand name. And in rural areas and semi urban areas we are going through campaigns and being connected with NGOs etc. Next slide. Coming to our management team, CEO Myself Prathish and the main decision maker of the company. And next one is Thirumalesh, Chief Marketing Officer. He looks over all the marketing and sales strategies of our company. And Arsh, Dr. Arsh, he is the Chief Finance Officer. He will monitor all the budget and he will monitor the financial health of our company. And the next one is Ruman Nehok, Director of Product Development. As he has done the gratification in good tech, he is responsible for the production and design of the product we are going to launch today. Next will be continued by Thirumalesh. Good evening everyone. Myself Thirumalesh and I am talking about market research. Market research is conducted through Google forms by questionary method. Through market research, the key data we found that 65% of the people will usually skip the meals one to two times in a week. And out of those majority of the demographics were students. Well almost 21% of the people skipped meals three to five times in a week. And instead of meals they are going for alternatives foods. It will give advantage to our company to bring our new product energy bar. Then 45% of the people ready to spend 5200 rupees to alternatives to skipping meals. It gives it clarity to set our product price. And 73% of the people are ready to pay 50 or less for healthy energy bars. And it backs our product to carry forward. And 80% of the people ready to consume energy bars as an alternative to the meals instead of fast foods. And only 20% of the people said that they won't prefer to consume energy bars. Next slide. The important takeaway from the market research is both the success of the product and the for the success of the product, it should be good in taste and the nutrients to get a maximum profit or income from the product. And next one is price. The price of the product should be 40 rupees in order to get a profit or survive in the market. And 55% people are consuming fast food as an alternative to meals. And it is the opportunity to attract consumers towards our product. And then the main targets we are looking is students and other young people who are living in urban and suburban areas. And another takeaway from research is lack of awareness. A lot of people still not aware about the energy bars and their importance in our day to life. Next slide. The advantage of the product energy bar, it gives instant energy. It is the, perhaps this is the one of the main reason people choose to have energy bars as it boosts energy levels and help to perform better. And it has a long shelf life. Energy bars have longer shelf life compared to ordinary foodstuffs. And as the majority of people aren't getting as much protein as they should be, because of their busy life with no time and to cook up protein snacks. These people will prefer the ready made and compact energy bars. It takes a little space to carry and it is easy for them to consume also. And the protein and added carbohydrates in the bar can provide energy to get you through your workout or training. They also provide the post-workout nutrition to your body requirements. Then it has an effective meal substitute because in energy bars, energy bar can be a wise choice because they offer a healthy dose like protein fiber and they are low in sugar and saturated fat. And energy bars are based on the, as well as it has a more nutrition value. Thank you and next slide is continued. So we have come up with marketing strategies based on the survey we had put out. So our main thinking behind this product is that our brand is already well established brand in the FMCG market. And so it's a low risk high reward for us. Since this is a foray our company into the health and nutrition sector, this is the first product of its kind. So I think that is the main aspect which we can concentrate on. So what we will do is since this is the first of its kind from our company in the health and nutrition factor, we can brand the whole product as a separate thing. We can give it its own website. We are having its own tagline and also we are in talks with various well-known personalities to endorse the brand. Another is through our survey, it's seen that almost 62% of the people who are consuming energy bars are from the urban areas. And plus out of this, the majority are students who skip their meals several times a day. So our main target group is those students in urban or semi urban areas. And so the significant way which we can reach them is through mainstream media, through the internet, through TV ads, through billboards, etc. Another way of reaching to the urban community is through e-commerce promotions with the help of websites such as Amazon Flipkart, which will not only help in sales but also the promotion of the product. Apart from all this, although 62% are from the urban areas, 28% of them are from rural. So we need to concentrate on them as well. And it's seen that from our survey, we have seen that out of these 28%, almost 90% of the rural population don't consume or are not aware of energy bars. So the one thing we can increase in rural areas is the awareness campaigns about energy bars. And the perception that it can be used as an alternate to meals and not simply just as a snack or a sitamak film. So another scheme which we came up with is midday meals inclusion. Tie ups is NGOs and companies like Akshay Patra which provides midday meals to school children. I think this can be a very key marketing tool for us because it will help us reach, it will help create an image that our product is not only healthy and nutritious, but it is also quite children friendly or quite tasty. Next slide please. So this is the production and product specialty. So on the right side you can see the flow chart of basically the whole preparation of the product, the unit operations involved in it. I won't go too deeply into this because it will take a long time. So basically we have come up with, till now in our arsenal we have two products. One is the Vista Insta Power and a Vista Pro Power. The Vista Power is 10 into protein. So basically there we have used soya as a protein source and we have used this 10 times as much as in the Insta bar. Whereas in the Insta bar we have gone with high energy sources like multigrain flour. That is our main focus here. So the only difference between the two is obviously the protein source and also from the survey we have seen that people prefer a cheaper product. So in order to lessen the degree of money spent on this we have used jaggery instead of sugar. And this not only helps us increase the price but also increase the quantity of the product itself. And the next slides will be taken up by Arsh. Good job. Thank you. Good evening sir and bachelors. So here I will talk about the financial. See the financial, the finance part is the very crucial about this business plan. So let's talk about that. So first is the fixed capital. So first part is a cost of land and building. So for this production unit we are requiring 15 acre of land and the cost for 15 acre of land is like 4.5 crore rupees. And the total cost of land and building will be like 7.5 crore rupees. And the next part, sorry it's lagging. So the cost of machinery in production line. It's a part of fixed cost and these are the machines which are required for the production line. So the total cost of our production line machines are 1.72 crore rupees. And if we talk, we have talked about the fixed cost now we will talk about the working capital. So in working capital first part is salaries and wages. So we have different types of different departments under our unit. So based on that the total cost of salaries and wages is 3.71 crore rupees per annum. The second part of variable cost is the cost of raw materials. So these are the raw materials which are required for the production of our energy bags. And based on the quantity required the amount is calculated and the total cost of raw material for 1 annum per annum is 2.0335 crore rupees. Third part of variable cost is like extra cost which comprises of internet charges, electricity cost, advertisement, transportation and other miscellaneous part. And it comprises 39,75,000 rupees. The next part of finance is like depreciation. So here I am calculating the depreciation on the building at the rate of 5% per annum and depreciation on the machines at the rate of 10% per annum. So the total cost of depreciation per annum will be 54,70,000. And when we talk about the total revenue, as previously mentioned we have two products. First is InstaPower and another one is ProPower. So we are targeting to sell 40 lakhs units of InstaPower at the price of 15 rupees. So the total revenue generated is rupees 6 crore rupees. And 20 lakhs units of ProPower at the price of 15 rupees will generate 3 crore rupees. So our total revenue will be 9 crore rupees. So now come to the financial analysis. As we have seen the finance part, so the total fixed capital that is the A plus B like the cost of building and the cost of machines for the production line. The total fixed capital is 9.22 crore rupees and the total working capital which comprises the salaries and wages, raw material and extra cost. So it is rupees 6.145 crore rupees and the total investment that is the fixed and working capital is 15 crore, 36 lakhs, 50,000 rupees. And the cost of production per year is 6.692 crore rupees. And as we have seen that our total turnover per year will be 9 crore rupees. So if we calculate the profit it is like 2.308 crore rupees. And after the deduction of tax, net profit will be 1.737 crore rupees. And the net profit ratio will be 19.23%. And as per our investment, payback period will be 5 years and 4 months. Within this time period our investment will be like we can incur our investment. And the final part is break even point. So that is the total cost divided by sales price per unit minus cost price per unit. So it is 2.39 crore rupees. Now we come to the last part that is the SWOT analysis. So if I talk about the strength, as we have previously mentioned that we are well established company and we have well established consumer base also. And our brand recognition is like in a good condition. And as we have like previously well established company, so financial source will be easy and R&D is also like ready to use. So next is the weakness. So as my group mentioned that at present there is not enough awareness of the product and the poor ability doesn't. So our marketing team will focus on these weaknesses and make it to convert in an opportunity. And if I talk about the current opportunity, at present there is a high demand for low fat, low sugar and healthy snacks. And also pay us per hour survey people are willing to spend more money on the healthier foods. And based on our busy schedule of people and like fast life, it will be considered as an opportunity to our business. If I say about the threats, so the competition from the other companies which are in the market that can be considered as a threat. And another is the self-made protein. Like many people would prefer to have consumer protein shake or any other alternatives which is self-made. So that thing can be considered as a threat. Okay sir, thank you sir. Great job. Thank you. Thank you sir for listening. Dr. Dhadanya Prathusha, Dramalaisan, Roman. Great job.

Most of this information can be found in Form 8863 Instructions Tax Year 2021 IRS website, irs.gov, irs.gov. Second half of the income tax formula in the credit area, noting that both credits and deductions are good, if you had a dollar credit versus a dollar deduction. The dollar credit would typically be better because you generally get the full amount of the credit as opposed to the dollar deduction, where you only get a decrease to the taxable income the tax then applied on it. Note also that we have two main categories for the credits. We got the non-refundable credits. We got the refundable credits. The non-refundable credits don't take the tax liability below zero, but the refundable credits may, which means you could possibly get a refund that's not really a...


In 1964, an Irish physicist, John Bell, published a mathematical paper proposing a way to test for hidden variables. His work is called Bell's Theorem, or Bell's Inequalities. It was based on entangled electrons and Stern-Gerlich apparatus spin detectors. But we'll use the more easily managed particles, photons, and polarized lenses. Bell's idea was to assume Einstein's hidden variables hypothesis is true, and then show how it leads to a contradiction. This would prove that the hidden variables hypothesis is false. The best way to understand Bell's theorem is to use Venn diagrams from basic set theory. Here's a simple Venn diagram example. Consider the set of all people in a town, say, Paris, Illinois, who go out on a particular rainy day wearing a hat. Some of these people are also wearing gloves. This would be a subset of the whole. Now we count the number of people with hats, and we count the number of people with hats and gloves. If the number of people with hats and gloves is greater than the number of people with hats, you have a contradiction, a violation of the basic assumption. The assumption that they are counting people in the same town on the same day must be false. For example, this violation could happen if the count for hats was indeed taken in Paris, Illinois, but the count for hats and gloves was taken in Paris, France. Bell's thought experiment involves sending photons through polarized filters. If a photon passes through a filter, it is referred to as past. If it's blocked, it is referred to as failed. The probability that a photon will pass or fail depends entirely on the angle between its polarization state and the filter's polarized state. Here we have three tests, A, B, and C. Test A sends vertically polarized photons into a vertically polarized filter. Test B sends vertically polarized photons into a filter polarized at an angle theta. And Test C sends vertically polarized photons into a filter polarized at an angle 2 theta. Now the object of the exercise is to examine the role of Einstein's entangled particle hidden variables hypothesis. So we'll use quantum entangled photons along with the assumption that interacting with one of them does not change the state of the other. So all tests start out with vertically polarized entangled photons. The thought experiment used tests in three particular combinations. One was to run a photon through test A followed by running its entangled photon through test B. The second was to run a photon through test B followed by running its entangled photon through test C. And the third was to run a photon through test A followed by running its entangled photon through test C. What Bell was looking for are the number passing test A followed by failing test B called A not B. The number passing test B followed by failing test C called B not C. And the number passing test A followed by failing test C called A not C. Now consider the three sets. Set A of all the tests that passed test A. Set B of all the tests that passed test B. And set C of all the tests that passed test C. Notice where they overlap and where they don't. Here's the subset A not B. And B not C. When we combine them you can see that A not C is a subset. From set theory we know that the number in A not B plus the number in B not C must be greater or equal to the number in A not C. This is the famous Bell inequality. Remember that our assumption is that the states of the entangled particles depend only on their original hidden variables. It cannot change just because there was a measurement taken on the other particle. Being a thought experiment we cannot actually run the tests and count the results. But we can use the quantum state probabilities to compute the results for these three numbers. For an angle of 45 degrees we get .75 is greater than or equal to 1. Clearly not true. This is called a Bell violation. It tells us that the assumption that states are determined by hidden variables must be false. The problem is that complex thought experiments like this are filled with assumptions and loopholes. And in the 1960s there was no known way to build an entangled photon generator. If we could create and manage such photons in large enough numbers we could flood volumes and see entanglement behavior directly. As of now this is not possible. But today we can produce entangled photons at will and see the states of entangled particles change.


When a person is completely in this moment and present, no one can manipulate them. Which is why, when there are people attempting to manipulate a person to take their energies, their Shakti, to take their money, to take their, one can say, life energy even, they can be repelled if the person pulls themselves into this moment. So not only does it not impact you, but it repels these things. It's a very, very unusual and simple way to go about it.

to ride the wheel at a... Look at that beauty. Icon Park actually invited me to come out and take a ride on the wheel at Icon Park and I'm so excited to do so. It is just about sunset. So hopefully we get to see a cool transition between sun and night or sun and moon or day and night. That's what I'm aiming for. So let's go do this. Look at that sky. And just look at all the stuff they have in here. Check it out. We have a Sausage Shack, 1905 Pizza & Pasta, Latin 21 and a Shack Sweets. They also have Sea Life Aquarium, which I've done a video in there before. And also Madame Tussauds. I've actually done a video in there as well. So to actually ride the wheel at Icon Park, it is $29.99 for children, $24.99. But you can get a private capsule for $100 and that's one to six people. And you have the whole thing to yourself. They also have Florida Resident Deals and a Sky Bar. Not only do they have a Sky Bar, but they have a Fly & Dine. You can actually get casual dining for $36.99. So it's actually 23 minutes up there. So that's why you have the dining options and the Sky Bar options. Cause you're gonna be there for quite a bit. Before you actually load up, you can also get some pre-flight beverages along with some snacks, pretzels, popcorn, high chairs, all the works. Look at the loading area here. We also missed the sunset.  I can tell already. Oh yeah, look at it. There it is. There's our capsule creeping up slowly on us. Loading platform moving.  So there's plenty of AC in here. It's actually really cool and I like it. And it's a little dark. I don't know if the windows or if you're gonna be able to see much because the windows are tinted.  We're starting to go up. We are really up now. Actually, we're only like 0.25 and look at the views. Oh, awesome. Look at the star flyer right over there. Things are looking beautiful. We did catch the sunset a little bit. What a view. Just seeing everything. This is kind of cool, but they have a 360 mount so you can see where you're at and obviously all the icons like Disney World, they go land, Universal, the Everglades, SeaWorld. Right now, we are gonna be facing to the top. The tippity top. It's like attacking us. Tippity top. We stood and looked up at this beautiful wheel and now we're looking down on the park itself. Also have little videos that you can watch like about Disney. Oh, Epcot. October 1st, 1971. They turned the lights back on so that means we're starting to get very close to the bottom. And wow, unbelievable. I really love the views at night. It's my first time. I've done this before, I think during the day and I can say I like the night a lot better. And we did catch a little bit of a sunset. I seen a little bit of it over there. It was very nifty. Yep, we're loading up. Getting ready to depart. We're now getting back and the music turned on. Also, I wanna point out, they do have video surveillance cameras. Oh, we gotta get out. There she goes. What a great experience. And you exit right through the gift shop. Like on top. I like it. Lots of cool icon park stuff. That's awesome. Ooh, ooh, they even have pins and magnets. Lots of cool stuff. Oh, yeah, that one's cool. Opens up fancy. And before you leave, you can share your thoughts. 10, what one enhancement to the icon Orlando? One thing, nothing. It was perfect. Oh, yep, nope. Ah, you know what? Incaps of photos would be good. So I will say that. How likely are you to return? I'll be bare, I'll be here. Yep, wonderful, excellent. So that's gonna do it for me. Hope you had a lot of fun. It's really cool. I actually enjoyed myself a lot. Thank you icon park for inviting me to come ride and love the life you live. We'll see you next time. Bye.


Golfing Zoom. Golfing Zoomer. Chicho, have you talked about the possible end of the US petrodollar? Possible end? We haven't talked. We've talked about it many times in the past. I wouldn't say it's a possible end. I think we're seeing the end of the hegemonic petrodollar, right? So, as of last week, right? Or last few weeks, but last week really sealed the deal, right? As of last week, countries no longer need the US dollar to buy oil if they are buying oil from certain nations that will only sell their oil in different currencies other than the US dollar. Game over. It's done, right? The damn broke, right? So is it going to be a mass flood? Is it going to take over anything? Is it a controlled demolition? Is it a leak and they're going to try to pug up? But the plugging up has been going on for a while, right? Look into why Venezuela bad, Iran bad, Libya bad, Syria bad. Look into those things, right? Well, their bad was because they were deciding to sell oil and the resources outside of the US dollar, right? The US put an embargo on them, sanctions on them, destroyed some of them, but they can't do that to Russia, right? They can't do that to Russia. Russian ruble was one US dollar before the war started in Ukraine, right? One US dollar could have gotten you 75, let's say, rubles, right? And then the war happened, invasion, incursion, whatever you want to call it, into Ukraine, right? All of a sudden it went from one to 150 rubles, right? The Western world was celebrating, yes, we're going to collapse Russia's economy, there's going to be a color revolution in Russia, Putin's going to get ousted, you know, we win, la-la-la-la-la, right?   Like, that's what they were thinking. Oh, okay. Meanwhile, they don't consider that for the last few years, right? Russia has been cutting deals with multiple nations and has already prepped for all this, buying gold up the yin-yang, right? Russia is one of the few countries in the world where you could just close its borders and it would be completely, fully functional, right? It wouldn't implode, right? So what happens? Well, Russia comes out and says this and says this, starts dealing with China. Oh, news comes out of China. News comes out of India. News comes out of Pakistan, right? News comes out of South America. News comes out of Africa. News comes out of Middle East, right? Oh, everyone's willing to deal with Russia. Not only that, Russia will now only accept oil, gas, payments in rubles or equivalent of gold, and I think it's pegged at 5,000 rubles per gram of gold now, right? So any nation that wants to buy energy from Russia has to pay in rubles or gold. There goes the US dollar. Not only that, Russia is announcing that now that also applies to their other resources, including rare earth elements, minerals, commodities, wheat, most likely. All of these things you can now only buy from Russia in rubles or gold, which makes sense is their currency. Why would they have to go through the US dollar, right? By the way, this wasn't their doing. Russia was happy with the system that existed before, but what happened is the United States and the West in their infinite stupidity decided to use their currencies as an instrument of war, right? And the Swiss system was an instrument of war, right? So they were conducting economic warfare on Russia, but on a scale that all nations that agreed would never take place, right? It's like a ban on nuclear weapons. Nations that agree they won't use nuclear weapons in war, right? That's off the table now, by the way. So they went nuclear on the economic level.  So Russia went click, click, click, click. All of a sudden Russian ruble now, after all this is done, right? Russian ruble is now 1 to 82, 83 ruples, right? So before the war was 1 to 75. Now it's 1 to 82, 83, 84, 85, let's say. And guaranteed it's going to get stronger and stronger. Okay, relative to the US dollar. Checkmate. Russia just killed the US petrodollar. It's over. It's done, right? The US dollar will still retain its strength relative to other things, and it's going to be a slow demise. I don't think it's going to happen overnight, tell you the truth. A lot of people, oh, it's going to drop 50% in a week or a month or this. I don't think so. I think it's just going to be a slow decline.  And at some point, I think, some kind of traumatic event is going to occur, and then they're going to try to make it all digital and bring it all together. Everyone's currencies together, a basket of currencies, and we'll see where it goes. It's a Herculean task that they've taken on. And as long as humanity says, F you, I don't think so. We're okay. If humanity buys into the digital currency that they want to release, where they track everything you do, including the last bit of toilet paper you buy, so they can tax you up the yin-yang, then censor you like nothing else. I hope they're not able to do what they want to do. But as far as the US petro-dollar goes, it's done. It's no longer the only reserve currency in the world.


The paper presents a survey on hyperspectral-based remote sensing supported by UEV platforms. Hyperspectral data provides more information than RGB or multispectral imagery, but it requires complex pre- and post-flight operations and data processing. The paper discusses the advantages of hyperspectral data over other types of imagery, as well as the different types of hyperspectral sensors and acquisition modes available. It also highlights the importance of pre-flight operations and post-flight pre-processing for ensuring the usefulness of hyperspectral data. The paper presents several toolboxes that allow direct access to Level 1 hyperspectral data and reviews research works on the symbiosis between UEV hyperspectral for agriculture and forestry applications. Overall, the paper provides a comprehensive overview of hyperspectral-based remote sensing supported by UEV platforms and its potential applications in agriculture and forestry.

Live from Los Angeles, it's theCUBE, covering Open Source Summit North America 2017, brought to you by the Linux Foundation and RedHash. Okay, welcome back everyone, live in Los Angeles, this is theCUBE's exclusive coverage of the Open Source Summit in North America. I'm John Furrier, my co-host. Stu Miniman, our next guest is Jono Bacon, who is the founder of Jono Bacon Consulting in the community. Great talk here at Open Source Summit. Great to see you. Thank you for having me on. Congratulations on all your recent success and the personal and business side. Congratulations, great to see you. So, bottom line, Open Source Summit is kind of powered by the Linux Foundation, but pretty significant accomplishment and state of the union, if you will, calling it Open Source Summit, big tent event. What's your view on this? How do you explain to folks watching, is this a new event? Is it a combination of multiple events? Certainly a great, great big tent, cross-pollination, whatever you want to call it, but what is this event about? Share with your opinion. I think it's interesting, and I don't work for the Linux Foundation, but I've worked very closely with them for a number of years, and I think what we've been seeing is that in the earlier days of Open Source, there was, you know, the Linux Foundation have played a fairly key role in certain specific areas, and in recent years, they've become a real center of gravity around Open Source in a variety of different areas, from automotive to cloud and beyond. And obviously there's a ton of events that are happening in all over the world, and the Open Source Summit I think is interesting because it's really an umbrella event that's got four other events that are part of it. So the event that I was running, which we launched this time around, was the Open Community Conference, which is kind of like one thread of this broader event. So one of the things I like about it is, is different events from my experience draw different types of audiences. The Linux Foundation events have traditionally brought a lot of professionals who work in the industry, in a similar way that happens at OSCON as well. But I like that the events kind of become a little bit more organized and diversified into those four areas. And I think what happens then is you get a greater bandwidth of content and discussions in the whole world. I think it's an interesting point of these other streams, if you will, kind of running into the Big Ten event. It's got an ecosystem vibe to it because you don't want to lose the specialty of the topics and interests at the events that matter for the audiences on content faces and face-to-face communications. But it's interesting that they're taking this approach because if you look at it, the scale that's coming in open source generally categorically, if you put all the code together, it's exponentially growing. So there's a flood coming. There's a big open source flood of code coming. So I think it's time to stick architecturally about the dams and the rivers and the flows. To your point, this is a super important point in history. Oh, it's without question. And one of the things that's interesting to me is, in my work as a consultant, when I help companies to build communities, it's broken into a few different layers, for example. So one is a technology layer, like which of the Lego bricks that you're going to choose to put together and how do you click them together in different ways. And again, that's why I think the LF has become a real center of gravity around what those projects are and how they integrate. But the other thing that we're starting to see more and more of is, I think, is the formalization of the software development life cycle, which is, it's not merely just writing code anymore. It's about automated testing and continuous delivery and deployment in all these different pieces. So I think we're seeing a formalization of the Lego bricks, but also the instruction of how you click them together. And that's really important if we're going to broaden out this bubble, because this is a bubble that we're in right now. This is full of invariably tech companies talking about technology, but when we get into bigger enterprises, when we get into non-tech, into the non-tech world. And the realities are there. And there is so much nuance wrapped up in open source that is alien to people outside of this world, that we need to build that better interface for that. And that's just putting some hardening around either software or process. That there's some comfort and reliability to the users. I'll give you one example. Like one company that I was working with who a large hardware company, fairly unfamiliar with open source. And one of the first questions they asked me was, like, what does success look like? We don't know, like, we know what all these options are. We see all of the things that people are talking about, but we don't know how to determine what success is. And I think even just that, it seems like an obvious thing to the people in this room, but it's not obvious to a lot of people who are new to consuming technology in this way. They want to see a finished line or some KPI that says, we're done. Exactly. And also, you know, because this is technology that's built by a broad diverse community of people, you then, a lot of these organizations then say, so what is my expected social responsibility here? It's like, how do I participate in this world that I'm broadly unfamiliar with? You know, to me it's like a hip hop art. It's trying to join a metal band, you know what I'm saying? It works differently. It's completely different genres of developers and also environments. What's your advice to customers? Because, you know, they have to navigate because the mainstream adoption of Linux, obviously, and now new projects as they graduate or come to fruition will be deployed. So there is an ops, the dev ops certainly is a movement we're seeing that we're going to agree on. But now I got to put it into production. Right. Yeah, I'm a bank or I'm an enterprise. Hey, I got some guys that are monitoring. We're not that active, but we're happy to use it. Be a user. How do you talk to that customer? Right. The way in which I try to approach it is, is to break it into a few different areas. The first thing is, is to first of all make sure that everybody's got the same sense of what the problem is that you want to solve. One of the things that was transformative to me when I started consulting was, it's amazing how many people think they're solving the same problem, but they're actually on a completely different grade of the same problem. So to me what I like to do is I like to define what I call a set of key themes, which are these are the big rocks that we want to target in a timeframe, six months or a year or whatever it might be. Particularly with when you're either doing community strategy or development or you're doing a level of open source, it's fundamentally cross-functional. It involves marketing, engineering, product. There are executive stakeholder requirements and then there's the people on the ground who are delivering those. So getting those themes in place I think is critical. But then to me what's important next then is to break a broader strategy down into smaller consumable pieces. I think one of the things where a lot of companies get stuck is they're aware of these different Lego bricks that are available to them. They're aware of some optimizations in terms of workflow, but it's such a huge thing to bring in to an organization that invariably has already got a very, very stodgy or very specific culture that they've got to somewhat unseat. So to me you need that combination of a permissive top-down approach, which is invariably your exec saying, we see value in this, but then you need to break the strategy and the execution down into smaller, manageable pieces that a team can wrap their head around. We were talking to the Cisco guy Ed and he was talking about DevNet, a huge developer community for Cisco. DevNet Create was kind of their cloud native group that they put together. Great little skunkworks worked out great, but those are two languages, there's two worlds there. The semantics of what they're saying is the same thing, but the translation is needed. This seems to be a common thread within the dev house community now that the rubber hits the road and people see the obvious benefits of whether it's true private cloud or cloud native. So how do you go ahead? You provide like a dictionary, it says, hey, here's the translation. Okay, he really means that.  It varies, it does vary from company to company and a chunk of this, at least from my experience, is there is a significant translation layer. One of the things I talked about in my keynote on Monday was I see collaboration, like I do community strategy, but fundamentally it really is organizational design. It's just outside of a company in some cases and sometimes inside of a company. And in an organization, you'll have a set of stakeholders who are making decisions and then the people who've got to execute in those decisions and there is often a massive translation layer between them. I run a conference called the community leadership summit each year at Oscars and every year a couple hundred community managers come along and I hear the same story from a lot of them which is, I joined this company, I started building out, I started doing my work and my manager wasn't happy. To me it's because the execs are defining value that they want to see but it's not getting translated into tactics and very rarely all of the folks who are coming in to do this. Where their ROI calculations are, they're not seeing the real answer. They don't know what success looks like. And they come in and they don't necessarily have the strategic background to internalize that requirement into a place that they can move it forward. So you get this impedance mismatch. So a big chunk of what I tend to do is to really try to understand what those requirements are and to work across the organization to try and- You're doing architecture? Right. Like organizational behavior architecture in the wild but also an arbiter to the managers. It's looking good. It's like you're trying to score the game. You're like keeping- And some of it as well, as I'm sure anyone who's watching this will have seen this with the companies they work with. This isn't rocket science is, you know what someone says they want. This is going to sound incredibly patronized and it's not meant to. But when someone is what they want, invariably what they actually want is not that thing. So for example, you know, I was working with a company a couple of months ago and they were saying like we just want growth. Like we absolutely want to grow as quickly as we can. And when I dug into it with their CEO, what they were really, what they really wanted was brand recognition and acceptance. And those are two very different, two very different challenges that you're going to approach there. Still get a word in. I'm sorry. John's passionate about community if you can't tell. Question I have for you is, building community takes time and things are changing faster than ever. How do you help people manage that, that pace of change versus I want results and it seems strategy is something that is for today and we're changing often. So how do you manage that kind of give and take of growing yet breaking? It's a great question. And again, I think it varies. To me, there's some fundamental pieces that are involved in the way that I, and I take one approach and other people will take different approaches. I'm certainly not the only person who's doing this. The approach that I like to take is, is we first of all need to treat communities as a journey. It's not, I think a lot of people think, we have a product for a service. Let's get people interested. And it's seen as a series of individual interactions with individual people. Whereas the way I look to look at it is when that person discovers your product, your service, your framework, whatever it might be, there's a journey from how they learn about it, how they go up and on ramp to get something done, how you get people making their first contribution of how they derive their first piece of value and then how you incentivize and reward them to keep them moving along the journey. So to me, I look at it as this zoomed out bird's eye view of this journey that I want to craft and then I like to break that down into small bite-sized pieces that form the strategy. But the other thing is, and this varies depending on the companies, is to what level of transparency and openness you need to communicate with different people. So for example, one of the first things I do with InnoSource when people bring in open source principles inside a company is to make sure that we have weekly reports going out and we're updating the stakeholders more specifically on a regular cadence. Because I think in that kind of environment where an existing enterprise, we all see these like digital transformation consultants come in. A lot of people like. It's a total gravy train. They make them the bookings and the billings. It reminds me of the old ERP deployments. Write a big fat check and it'll be like, all this consultants come in, make all the cash. And I think a lot of people are looking at them thinking, all right, lunchbox, you'll be here for a year, you'll be gone then, all right. And we'll be on to the next thing that our CEO cares about. So to me like. Well, the consulting business is being disrupted. It's interesting, you're a contrarian in your world because you have a consulting firm, but the old model used to be the next gig is to get that next consulting gig. So you worked not to actually put yourself out of a job, which is what the client wants to get. And that's where agile and cloud has come in. It's interesting is this is where the work product is, you know what success is in that model, right? You can come in and say, look, we did our work. Everything's got a community that's vibrant. You got operationalized, your value. Yeah. You don't need me anymore unless you want me. So, you know, it's one of those kinds of conversations. Your thoughts. I agree and it's interesting to mention agile. One of the things that I've noticed as well, and I'm sure lots of, not just consultants, but people notice this as well is, is there are, I think there are, there are broadly two types of people in the world. I think there's people who take a very kind of organic and somewhat animated approach to how they do things. And then there's some people who really need a roadmap. They need, they need to follow a plan. And on the, I think a lot of people who are building organizational design or building communities default to we need to create a process and a workflow. So people can follow that and we can have a sense of order. I don't think most people naturally want to work like that. I think there's a reason why people don't stick with to-do lists is because people like to have a more organic way of working. And a good example of this in my mind is agile. Like some people will take agile to the end of the degree with story points and epics and a lot of that kind of stuff. And in my mind. You serve the process, the process doesn't serve the objective. I mean, it's the classic effectiveness model, but I mean, that's the whole point.  So you got to want both. What is the ideal in your mind? In my mind, the approach that I'm a big fan of is an approach called Muntzing, which was the story of, I forget his name, there's a guy back in the 50s and he basically owned a TV factory. And what he'd do is he'd go up to an engineer who's building one of these big, bulky old TVs and he'd basically pull out components until it stopped working and then he'd put that last component in. So it'd be the minimum level of components for it to work. Ended up saving the company a ton of money. I like to take the same approach and process. What's the minimum level that you need that gives people the creativity to be successful in a predictable way? So like with Agile, these epics and storyboards and things like that, I think a lot of that stuff is just there to deal with crappy product managers. Like people who aren't very good at managing a project, no process is going to deal with the, is going to deal with someone who's not good at organizing. You need to bring to me like the right level of the human ingredient and the process is what just keeps people ticking over. The other thing too that I find in that area is people kind of redefine or they maybe mischaracterize what outcome is. Everyone's like, oh, outcome driven. Love that word. It's all about the outcome. In this case, the TV's got to work at a less amount of moving parts. That's the outcome. And so outcomeists can be bastardized, if you will. Could be really mangled in its definition. How do you work with clients on trying to really kind of temper and set the expectations on what the outcome is? Because the manager still wants to know what the outcome is going to be. So do you reverse engineer from there or how do you tackle that? It's interesting. A big chunk of it for me is just, is being realistic, you know, like is, there is no minimum amount of work, I think, that needs to be put in to achieve any kind of community. I think you can build a tiny community with one person. However, depending on the requirements and the goals, there's just certain things you have to do and there's certain time and resources that are required. And also just expectations. Like one of the expectations that some people wrestle with, I think, is that I always try to set is, if you're building a community that are inside your organization or outside, it's only going to succeed if a broader set of people participate. You know, we see this trend where you hire a community manager and that person lives in a forum or a Slack channel to build out the community. It doesn't work. Because the people in that community want access to other people. This value creation mindset in communities, value has to be a group dynamic. There's individual contributions, I get that, but the group dynamic is critical. Not just a message board moderator. Right, I mean, that's basically what you're saying. He slacks a message board.  So, a chunk of this, then, is a different mindset in how people operate. One of my clients is a company called Hacker One. I wrapped up working with him a little while ago and their CEO is this guy called Martin Mikos. Yeah, Martin, he's a great CUBE alumni. Phenomenal, and he's, for me, is like one of the people I most respect in our industry. He's a great strategic thinker, understands community, knows tech. Right. He's an amazing, and one of the things that he said when he joined Hacker One was, I want everybody in this company to know a hacker. Everybody's got to know our audience. Everybody's got to understand the needs, the desires, the insecurities, the worries, the dynamics. Otherwise, we can't build a community. It's not just hiring a person to interface to that. That's one of the trickiest things because, again, it takes time. It's alignment to the audience. Right. This is classic, right? I mean, ingratiating in and actually being cool, aligning with them. Right. And if it's done well, it's really rewarding because I think people who ordinarily wouldn't see the fruits of their labor. Well, John, I want to get your thoughts as we wrap up the segment here on what's exciting you about potential new things that are coming around the corner. Obviously, we see the promise of blockchain, which could have a great big application for communities. We're doing some things with it now that we're testing in our community around trying to create these new value networks. Certainly, there's new tooling coming out, things like theCUBE and content and communities. New things are coming. The growth is going to be here, which is going to create new opportunities. What are you excited about as you want to navigate the community landscape because the thesis is more people are coming in, more rivers of distinct audiences are going to want, specialty, but at the broad market, what are you excited about the community opportunity from compensation to interaction to culture? Right. What's your thoughts? There's a few things I'll subdivide into things that relate to my bread and butter, which is communities, and things that's more broadly in technology. The one thing I'm really excited about communities is I feel like the value proposition has become well understood. Is not just in open source, but outside with Procter and Gamble, H&R Block, Harley Davidson, all these examples where people see the value in doing this work and doing it well. And that's great because I think we're improving the state of the art of how we do this. One of the reasons why I got into this was I want my career to leave a fingerprint on a structured, predictable way in which we can do this. As opposed to this seeming magic science that a lot of people seem to think community is. For a series of one-offs that are unknown, not understood or can't be operationalized, are leveraged in a way. Yeah, exactly. From a technology perspective, there's a bunch of things. I'm really excited about crowdsource security, things like Hacker One, Bug Crowd, Synac, things like that. I think there's a lot of excitement in my mind around bringing open sourcing to financial services. There's an industry that's ripe to be disrupted, which is a sentence I would never thought I'd ever say, ripe to be disrupted. And then I'm also really excited about the work that's going on, obviously in AI, but the intersection of AI with kind of like voice control. Things, obviously things such as Google Home and Alexa, but also things like Minecraft. I think blockchain is interesting. It's kind of less interesting to me. I've just, it's not really something I've really been following very closely, but I think it is. I think it's pretty neat. But then also just the formalization of the end-to-end software development life cycle, and how we're seeing GitHub was transformative in technology for a lot of companies, and now we're seeing GitHub as one piece, and you've got continuous delivery, and continuous deployment, and also how you manage ideas, and project management, all that kind of stuff. I think there's a lot of transformative ideas coming, and I think it's super exciting. Congratulations on all the great work you're doing. Thank you, appreciate it. And I just think that the self-governing community model that's now becoming mainstream, people starting to figure out how to balance that with the command and control, top-down, and hierarchy, job definition specifics, and balancing that, I think the self-governing open-source model certainly proved that, and communities is a working example of what you can operationalize. It's exciting. And crowdsourcing just takes it to the consumer level. Right. No, hey, okay, it's working there too. Right. Okay, great job, thanks for coming on. Thank you. I know Bacon, Bacon Consulting, it's theCUBE, I'm John Furrier, I'll see you in a minute with more live coverage after this short break.


Community Center project will redevelop almost half an acre, half an acre of land right here in Chinatown. This is going to play a key part in the continued redevelopment of downtown Philadelphia. It's going to anchor the redevelopment of an underdeveloped area. And it's also going to provide safe and usable space for key services and businesses that have been needed in this neighborhood for years. This is going to be what all neighborhoods need, a real mix of residential, of commercial, and of community service. I'm very proud to announce that the Commonwealth is going to invest $1.3 million in this project.


Despite Marilyn Manson's career not being what it was, or at the very least, surrounded by controversy, the artist did save up over the years to afford some nice places to live. Manson sold his longtime Hollywood Hills property at the end of 2021 for $1.8 million, which was a vintage 1920s Spanish villa style abode with three levels, and then more recently snagged a new home at the end of 2022 in the Glendale area of Los Angeles. Manson's new mid-century style crib was built in the 60s and updated since, but it sounds like a feature that grabbed this rocker's attention would have been the detached garage, which was transformed into a top-of-the-line professional recording studio. In these videos, we don't reveal any addresses, and even though I've done a house tour of my own place, please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. While singer and songwriter Marilyn Manson might not be doing stellar in the career department at the moment, he's a far cry from broke. After selling his longtime Hollywood Hills residence at the end of 2021, he recently purchased a stunning contemporary home in the Glendale area of LA for $2.2 million. The heavy metal star's new crib is secluded down a private street in the foothills of Glendale and set on top of a small hill and behind a long driveway, making the properties seem far from the busy city. Inside the home, which was built in the 1960s and recently restored, there's just a bit more than 2,000 square feet of space along with four beds and three baths across two floors. Manson snagged the mid-century style home off of songwriter Ajirimi Rezumna, who only lived there for about a year himself. Within that timeframe, however, the former owner was able to make a handful of updates to the property, including adding the recording studio. This was likely a highlight that attracted Manson, the musician himself, and it's quite the recording studio at that. What was once a detached two-car garage is now a spacious and professional recording studio complete with soundproof walls. Going up to the main house's steep staircase leads to the front doors, which open up into the double height entryway, which has soaring ceilings, but is quite narrow. At one end of the front hall, there's a living room which is flooded with natural lights thanks to all of the windows, as well as bonuses like hardwood flooring and a lava rock fireplace. The home offers plenty of open concept and modern lounging and dining areas, as well as a wooden balcony off of the house that is perfect to dine out fresco. Over in Manson's new kitchen, it's been fully renovated and upgraded, now boasting upscale Viking appliances, a custom quartz waterfall island with bar style seating, and more. All bedrooms, including Manson's master suite, can be found on the upper level of the home, and each bedroom provides views of the surrounding trees via large windows. Not to mention, at least one of the bedrooms offers their own attached bath, which is likely the singer's new master suite. The home is essentially wrapped in stunning oak trees that are on the property, giving the place a treehouse-like feeling. There are also multiple wooden patios and terraces extending off of the home that brings you closer to the forest and greenery, while there's also a patch of grassy lawn. There's no pool here, but Manson does have his nifty new recording studio with the soundproof walls. In November 2021, Manson offloaded his longtime Spanish Philistyle home in the Hollywood Hills for the price of $1.75 million. The home sale came after the shock rocker was accused in early 2021 by ex-girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood of sexual abuse during their relationship. At that time, cops swarmed this very home after a friend called and requested a wellness check on Manson. Manson lived in this vintage Spanish Philistyle villa since 2013 when he picked it up for just less than $1.1 million. The 1920s-era home is secluded up in the Hollywood Hills and set on a .16-acre lot with plenty of privacy. Inside, his former home spans 2,711 square feet along with three beds and three baths throughout. Manson had moved all of his personal belongings and decor out of the residence before it was staged to sell, but we can get a pretty good idea of what it was formerly designed like. The vintage crib still kept the blood-red velvet curtains that Gore obsessed Manson had installed which hung over the massive arched window in the great room. This room had cavernous wood beam ceilings that towered 20 feet as well as plenty of room to lounge and dramatic glass doors leading out to a garden terrace. The second story of the home has a wide full-length open hallway and balcony that can function as an office or sitting area overlooking the main living area. The separate dining room was spacious and offered a barrel vaulted ceiling and even its own cozy lounge area, while the modestly sized kitchen had been recently updated and decked out in black and blue cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast nook. Here you'll also discover a corkscrew style staircase that curls down to a lower level guest suite without our entrance. Other features of Manson's former crib include a library loft that overlooks the living room with a blood-red velvet reading banquette. This space led to two of the ensuite bedrooms, one of which had its own morning bar, while the other boasted dramatic attached bath colored in shades of black and gray as well as dreamy wallpaper depicting clouds. In fact, Manson's home was set to have two separate master suites with original tiled bathrooms, vanities, and walking closets. However, while Manson lived here, we have reason to believe that his decor was a bit darker than it appears now. According to a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, they called him the Vampire of the Hollywood Hills and said that he does keep his home pretty dark. Not to mention, he has decorations like a pistol and a rifle on a coffee table, a prized clown painting done by rapist and serial killer John Wayne Gacy. Manson's Hollywood Villa also boasted that separate bonus bedroom and bath with private entrance and a large storage room while the home itself is situated on two parcels of land with private fenced-in gardens and gorgeous views of the canyon hillside. The grounds of the home include a flagstone patio and fenced-in concrete terrace, which could be used for dining, lounging, or entertaining outdoors. According to listing materials, the two-car garage on the property has been converted to what was described as a flexible space ideal for a gym, recording studio, or home office. It might seem that Manson's home was normal as can be, but there was a bit of a rumor that his place was haunted. It was reported that before Manson's album The Pale Emperor, he bought a haunted home to write the record in. Considering this Hollywood spot was sold just before that, it makes sense that it's the same place. He's also neighbors with his buddy Johnny Depp here. I could hear whispering or talking and at first I thought it was my friend and it was very scary. Apparently the home was once owned by a silent film actress from the 1920s and the property is at least 19th century. Manson told Revolver magazine, I needed a place that didn't have any distractions so I bought a house that was next to one of Johnny Depp's houses. I bought it the day before I started work on The Pale Emperor. It's haunted. Door slammed behind me a lot and I'm always hearing people walking up and down the stairs. Well that fact is yet to be confirmed but until then I'd say we got a pretty good look at Marilyn Manson's properties, including his latest purchase in Glendale. After checking out Manson's homes, what did you think? As dark and creepy as you would expect or not even close? Before we wrap up this house tour, answer this question for me. Would you prefer an old world house with some charm and history even if it could possibly be haunted? Or would you prefer a newly built modern style home?

Design is arguably the human endeavor that separates us from all other species. Let me elaborate. Take a look around you right now.  Everything around you has been designed by someone. In other words, user experience is everywhere from how you interact with your smartphone to how your home is designed. Of course, not every experience is well designed. That's why UX design is such an incredibly exciting field to be in. Are you excited by UX?


It's Python on hardware news time Our newsletter is rapidly approaching like 10,000 people. So there is a bunch going on every single week It's jam packed. This is one of the bigger ones. So I'm going to go through a couple specific things But just to give you a taste of what's here from ink displays to birds that detect oh, I love this yeah the canary to cold yeah the detect if the air is okay or not Lots of macropads lots of different projects all Python powered It is kind of never-ending one interesting thing that I thought electors now doing Python on hardware So it looks like it's everywhere But this week the thing I wanted to talk about first was a follow-up So this is just from the last few weeks. We've been talking about this so three weeks ago. I think we started The not the week but the week before two weeks the fundraising for Micro-Python so micro-Python doesn't have hardware to sell right now. We normally buy hardware. Wait. Why not chip shorted? Yeah, okay, and We said, you know every year we donate everything every year. We celebrate how many years? Micro-Python's been around and you know, we have a version that's built on top of Micro-Python circuit Python and We said well, let's do what we always do donate money but maybe we can get more people to join because there was only 84 and I really had it move in a year and the Sponsorship that the way to donate is on github and they have a sponsorship thing there. So it got up to a hundred and 21 so 84 to 121 they hit their first goal of five thousand a month After we help get the word out and all of you helped out and joined And so what happens though is you can't see the goal anymore because they reached a goal So they now upped it up to ten thousand dollars a month They'd be able to do a lot more with Micro-Python so I just wanted to say thank you everyone who did a one-time donation or a Monthly sponsorship even if it's like a buck a month For the number of people that use Micro-Python. They would be able to they'd be a multi-million dollar company So it's something to think about if you use it Consider doing it. You can do it one time you can do Something normally we'd also say buy hardware from Adafruit that Micro-Python makes but there isn't any so this is one of things We're trying to help out with so for the folks who did thank you and for the folks who are on the fence Please do it and then in circuit Python news and was on the terror down Sessions with Helen over at Crowd Supply so you can check out ladies interview Python how could you not run one run to go listen to this awesome podcast and then make just did a review of the Metro ESP 32 s2 Python and then big super. Thanks when folks use circuit Python and they're over on github. They can hit like They can hit star. Yeah, they can it does nothing Monetarily it just says wow cool. Thanks. So Adafruit Circuit Python you can see our little stars and We're still going up that way. So we're up to 3000 if you use it, please consider clicking it It does let us know that you like it and care We deliver this newsletter every single week you can go over to Adafruit daily comm and It's a separate site. We don't spam. We don't harvest We don't have pop-ups on any of our websites.  We don't do that So we it's not easy to sign up for things accidentally with us But if you want this newsletter go to Adafruit daily comm and that's this week's Python on hardware Thank You Blinka


Yeah, like I said, the gaffer says for most games that if you're in a team, keep your shirt, do your best to keep your shirt. And if you do have a bad game, make sure you work hard. You work hard, so you put in a shift for the team. If it's not working for you on the ball, you've got to put in a shift to make sure you do your best for the team to win the game. But yeah, whoever gets the shirt, Saturday, Fleetwood will do their best. And knowing the boys in the squad, they'll play a big part if they come on to win us the game or seal the game up. So yeah, we've got a good squad at the moment and hopefully we can start winning some more games as well. And when you've won an away match, and the next game is an away match again, is it a kind of hoping that you can repeat the performance from last weekend into this weekend? I think it would be a similar game to be honest with you. I think we've got to start with high intensity and the right to play. And I think if we're on the right to play, I think on the ball, we can vary it up going into Hanson if he plays off Steve Davis. And the other side of the game, we can pass the ball more than teams think in this league. So we can pass it very well, trust me. But if we can get the ball down, we would have earned the right to play first. And I think we need that to play with the ball and we'll give it 100% on the weekend. And good memories from the last time we came to Fleetwood, obviously, win their last boxing day. I seem to remember a nice little step over from you for the second goal for Felipe Reyes. That was a nice move. I'm still getting a stick for that, so I didn't mean it. But now I've seen Phil make the run and I've just let it go through my legs a little, sis. So I think you should only use some of his goal bonus for that one. But now it was a good game to be honest with you and I felt the boys done really well. We dug in and it was freezing. I can remember that, but now it was a good game.

A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty high old silver, the Lone Ranger. The end of the Civil War and the passage of more liberal homestead laws saw the tide of immigration to the western United States reach its greatest height. Land was to be had for the asking, but peace and security were not, and the West could not be won until law and order were established. It was then that the masked rider of the plains first rode in the cause of justice. Astride his great horse, Silver, he fought crime and criminals throughout the new territory, and no man did more to make the frontier safe for honest men. Now return with us to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. As our story opens, the Lone Ranger and Tonto have made their camp for the night on a bluff overlooking the famous trail to the northwest. The light of several campfires can be seen on the plain below. There's another wagon train, Tonto. Hmm, me see it. That's what this part of the country needs, people to make homes here, people with the courage to face difficulties and fight for what they want. That'd be plenty good things. Someday the west will be just as rich as the east. That's right. But the people who will make it rich are these pioneers. What kind? Listen. That buffalo must be the herd we passed earlier today. Men come plenty fast. Something threatened them. They're stampeding. There they are. Men not far off. They're heading for the valley. I wonder what you think. The valley's narrow. It leads to the place where the wagon train is kept. That's right. Here's something. What you do? The buffalo may stop before they reach the wagon train, but if they don't, there'd be plenty trouble. Oh, white fellow, Tonto. Here, white fellow. We'll follow the herd and see if they do any damage. Good idea. Come on, get on. White fellow. The men and women of the wagon train were resting around their campfires, unaware of the danger that threatened. Grant Elder, the leader of the train, was speaking to one of the groups. Well, folks, we covered a right good stretch of ground today. But tomorrow we ought to do even better. Hmm. I don't see where we done so good.  Why shouldn't I complain? I'm darn sorry I ever came along. We should have stayed back east where we belong. Yeah? Trouble. Nothing but trouble is all we've had. First off, them contractors cheated us back in Eagle City. The grub they sold us is full of worms, St. 15. It's a blame side better or nothing. We ain't had half water enough. Tom Billins Youngen died the other day. Most of the wagons who broke down a dozen times or more. Trouble? I'm sublime sick of it. I wish I'd never heard of this part of the country. There's no way to talk, Paul. You shouldn't be here. Look here, Cora. Don't you be telling me what to think and what not to. You're getting just like your Mar-Wars. And what's more? Hey, Grant! What's the matter, Jim? Do you hear what I hear? What? What is it? Oh, give them the bugs with the mighty strings, please. It's a sort of rumblet. Now, what in blaze is this? Grant, hey, Grant. Huh? Get to the wagons. It's buffaloes. They're pouring out of a valley like water. I see them now. They're heading right this way. They're playing for the hurry, child. Run! Oh, I'm in the wagon. Drive out of here. Come on. Get a move on. We're going down the road. The buffaloes swept down upon the unprepared camp. Few of the men had time to hitch their horses. And still, fewer were able to drive clear of the stampede. Come on, Tyler. Come on. You're riding the ride. You're riding the ride. Only by a stroke of good fortune, the herd separated the last moment. And the damage, though great, was not as heavy as it might have been. When the danger was over, Grant Elder tried desperately to reorganize the train. Jim, Dan, round up the women, folks. Take account of everybody and see if anyone's hurt. All right, sir. Ain't nobody hurt that I can see. For the last, let's take a look at my wagon. Did it get busted up, Silas? Busted up. There ain't enough left of it for kindling. My stuff strung out every which way. I've had just about all I'm going to stand for. Shucks, Silas, you knew when we started out, we'd have our troubles. I can take my share, but I'd... Who's that? I don't know. He called his horse Silver. Well, he can call his horse what he'd blame pleases. But what I'm saying is I've seen all of the west I want to. And I ain't the only one that feels that way either. Oh, sir! Man with man. Well, I'll be. I'm not an outlaw, but that mask... I have my own reasons for that. Came to see if we could help you. Well, outlaw or not, we can use all the help that comes our way, I reckon. We were afraid the buffalo might reach your camp. But they do much damage. Damage? Why, the blasted critters just about wrecked us. Do you wonder if we don't find somebody's been killed? Here comes Jim. Maybe he can tell if there is or not. Well, I've had a good look around, Grant. What'd you find out? Well, there's about a third of the wagon. It's pretty well smashed up. But I think maybe some of them can be fixed again. Yeah? Anybody hurt? Not one, thank the Lord. We was mighty lucky that way. Where'd Dan get to? He's bringing the women folks along. There they are now. The land takes a life. I never in my born days had such a scare. You all right, Cora? Just shook up a little, Pa. Folks, it's about time we had a showdown. Mean and just what, Silas? Well, it's like what I've been saying for the last week. The biggest mistake we ever made was to come out west. What I say is we ought to turn around come morning and head back for where we belong. Sure, Silas. I've got into you. I'm just talking good sense. You really believe that, Silas? Well, look what's happened. If this was the first thing that'd gone wrong, maybe I wouldn't say nothing. But it's been one thing after another ever since we crossed the Mississippi. And now you want to turn back? Of course I do. Anybody with a sense would feel the same. What are the rest of you think? I'm for keeping on. Well, I don't know, Grant. Maybe Silas is right. Well, like Silas says, we've run into a heap more trouble than we ever figured on. Isn't the opportunity to make a new home worth a sacrifice? Sure. You men. Grant and the masked man are the only ones with any gumption. It ain't for women to judge.  But if any comes to deciding anything, then it's only the men folks that have any say. Now, honey, it ain't right for you to speak up so. Wasn't it right? We do our share, don't we? Cora. I don't care, Paul. You ought to ask us women what we think once in a while. I'm good for you, child. That's enough of that. I don't know what you're talking about, Silas. He's got a right. Wait! Huh? Listen to me. When you people started out, it was to begin new lives in a new country. Don't give up now. Settlers are needed in the West.  Just a second. Yes? I'm wondering just what your game is, anyhow. What are you so blameless first to keep on for? Looks mighty funny to me. You'll have to believe I'm thinking of your good. I don't have to believe nothing, and I don't... Silas, I declare you the most contrary man I ever seen. Oh, hold on, everybody. This is something we can decide later on. But right now, we got work to do, and it's time we did it. That's good sense, anyhow. We'll straighten things out. Then maybe by tomorrow, Silas and the rest of you'll get your gumption back.  Get them wagging straight now. Under the direction of Grant Elder and the masked man, order was quickly restored. The wagons were repaired, and in the morning, at the suggestion of the Lone Ranger, Dan and Jim trailed the buffaloes to obtain fresh meat for the train. We see the two men as they come within range of the herd. There they are up ahead, Jim. Yeah. Now we'll stop here. If we get too close, maybe they'll start running again. Who? Who? Who are they? Who are they?  It'll be easier shooting. Reckon it will at that. There's a good-sized rock. That'll make a rest for our rifles. Come on. You know, Jim, I was just thinking. Thinking? Well, here we are. This will do fine. Yeah, I was thinking the masked fella might have the right of it after all. I don't know. Well, you don't hardly seem like we should have come all this way just to turn around again and plait back home. Oh, well, maybe. And all the willing folks, he might have said I'm going ahead. If we turn around, they're liable to make things right uncomfortable for us. It ain't for women to have the same. Of course it ain't. But still, you know- Yeah, I know what you mean. Well, we can talk about it later. Right now, we ought to be getting fresh meat. I got my sights on that critter over to the left. Yeah. I'll take the one next to him. Ready? Yeah. Don't miss. I got mine. So did I. Come on, we'll- What's that? Must be somebody else's. Don't know who it could be. Well, maybe it's someone that we'd say. Them shots was aimed our way. Engines. They're coming over that hill. Back to the horses. Let the meat go. How many are there? I don't know. Night waiting to find out. Steady there, steady. We're heading for a camp as fast as we can make it. Get up there. Get on with that. Get up there. Dan and Jim raced across the prairie toward the wagon train. As they neared the camp, their shouts brought a group of people running to meet them. Engines. We see rats here. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Engines fired at us. They heard a shooting at them. Buffaloes. You're sure there were Engines? We wouldn't mistake a thing like that. Then that settles them. That settles what? We are heading back east. We can face stampedes and dust and sickness. But when it comes to murder and redskins, it's time we got out of here. Indians wouldn't be likely to attack a wagon train as well guarded as yours. They just shot at Jim and Dan, didn't they? Because they saw them alone. How do we know what they'll do?  Do the rest of you fellas feel like that? I wasn't sure before, but right now I says the same as science. And so do I. Well, then I reckon that's what we'll have to do. The land sakes alive. Growed men is scared of a few painted savages. It's your own good we're considering as well as ours. It's the men that has to do the fighting. Let me tell you that. Come, sort of. Let me come. This is the first I've heard of Indians near here, Kimosabe. What we do? Steady, old fellow. You and I are going to investigate those Indians. And good. I want to know more about them. The curtain falls on the first act of our thrilling Lone Ranger drama. Before the next exciting scene, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue the story. A wagon train led by Grant Elder became disheartened after a series of misfortunes. First, a herd of buffalo swept through the camp, leaving destruction in its wake. Then hostile Indians were encountered. The men decided to return to the east. And when the Lone Ranger was unable to change their minds, he decided to investigate the Indians, which Jim and Dan had seen. As our second act opens, the masked man and his faithful companion are dismounting at the foot of a small hill. I think the Indians must be camped just beyond this hill, toddler. Crayol, Crayol shown that. We'll try and get a look at them without being seen. Stay here, Silver. Come, Tata. Not many, Indian. Only a few from the tracks we've seen. Yeah, boy. I see it. If we can get that far without being discovered, we can hide behind it. Careful now. Yeah, boy. This is far enough. Look down below. Oh, there. Indian. But fewer than I'd expected. Until never see them before. I could give a close guess as to who they are. Who you think? You remember the Indians who raided the Oberlin station? Uh-huh. There were five of them. The soldiers had been hunting them for weeks. You think them same color. And so do I. See? There are five in this group. If they were dodging the law, this is probably the direction they would have chosen. That's right. Come. We've seen enough. Tata, did you notice the location of their camp? Uh, Tata, see. Gave me an idea. What? That? I don't want the wagon train to turn back. That'd be bad thing. The men aren't cowards, but they've met a mutual number of hardships. That's right. Naturally, they're discouraged. They'll go on if we can prove to them that the dangers they fear are mostly imaginary. What? What do we do, huh? Steady, Silver. I don't know. As soon as it's dark, we're going back to where the wagon train just camped. Mmm, that? That good. There, I believe. We'll get some willing help for our plan. Come on, sir.  That evening, indignant at the attitude of the men, the women of the wagon train gathered in a separate group after the evening meal. Maggie, Jim Barton's wife, Cora, Silas Digby's daughter, and Jean, Dan Hardy's sister, voiced their resentment at what they consider the men's lack of resolution. Yeah, I'd like to shake them good. The very idea turning back when we're this far along. They say they're going east in the morning.  It's mostly cars doing. They haven't kept so everlasting me at the others. Maybe they wouldn't have agreed to go on back to the east. It's just like men, folks. All is looking for the easy way out. Now, Maggie, I reckon there ain't no worse than the average. I ain't never hear that the average man was any great Shakespeare. If there was only something we could do. I've tried to talk to Dan, but when I say anything, he only grunts and says women don't understand things like men. And a good thing they don't. Well, I was sort of hoping that men could argue them out of it. Wonder where he got to. Dan says he's likely some kind of a crook. A crook?  There was something about him.  The Miss Man. The Miss Man.  I'd like to talk to you. I'll get Grant if you just wait a minute. I don't want to talk to Grant. Just answer this question. Do you women want to return to the east? Of course we don't. Why, we were saying that when you come out. All of us women want to keep on. Would you be willing to do something that might persuade the men to continue? But what is it? I think I have a plan. I mean, if only you had. I'll need your help.  Maybe you don't know it, but when a woman's got her heart set on something, she'd wade through a wildcat to get it. Good. Now what have you got in mind? Listen to my plan. Wait until the men have gone to sleep tonight. And I figure how the men folks will look. They can, Pa. I'll leave now. But don't forget your instructions. We won't. Say, who was that I just seen you talking to? Oh, why, uh... You been up to something? Oh, now, Pa, we... Come on, somewhere. That masked man. Was it him? And what if it was, Silas, my sis? He's an author, that's what. Women, Pa. You listen to every smooth-spoken crook that comes along. But when your own men folks try to tell you something for your own good, you don't hear no better than if he was deep. Centuries were posted at night to guard against a surprise attack by the Indians. The early what was shared by Grant Elder and Jim Barton. We see them now as they sit together on the tongue of a wagon. Rifles held loosely across their knees. Seems like a shame, Jim. What does? Leaving this country, going back east again. You know, the more I see the west, better I like it. It's mighty pretty country, but it's just as dangerous as it's good to look at. Yeah, I reckon. You got any idea what was bothering women tonight? Shucks. They was just mad because they couldn't have their own way. There was more to it than that. What makes you think so? Well, they was mad at first, all right, but later on they was acting like maybe they had something up their sleeve. You're just imagining things, Jim. Maggie was most likely trying to get you riled. Maybe. What was that? I didn't hear nothing. Listen. What's ailing you anyhow, Jim? You're as fidgety tonight as a girl at her wedding. I just swore I heard something. They warned a thing. It's just the night being so black, the plane's being so lonesome like that's getting on your nerves. You talk like I was a scary kid. Where? You ain't a... Where? Over by the end of that wagon. Did you see it? See what? It was like a shadow. Come out of that wagon, then was gone. Just all of a sudden. My golly, you are... There's another. Grant, I'm going to have a look.  Maybe I am. But how do you know there ain't engines sneaking into camp? You see anything? Just a minute. You better come back here and make yourself comfortable. If you're going to jump every time you see a shadow, you won't be fit to live with. I don't know. Maybe my eyes are going back on me. I told you there wasn't nothing, didn't I? Yeah, but I... Then sit down and forget about it. Now, like I was saying, then women didn't have nothing up their sleeves at all. Why, right now, I'll bet they're dreaming in their sleep about going back east. Everything was quiet in the camp during the remainder of the night. But shortly after sunrise, Silas Digby looked inside the covered wagon, where his daughter, Cora, was supposed to be sleeping. Leaping lizards. What's the matter, Silas? Cora, she's gone. Ain't she there? You hurt me, didn't you? But she's got to be. Well, she ain't. I just looked. But Jean's with her. Your sister? The two of them was going to stay together last night. Least ways, that's what Jean told me. Now, where in thunder could they have got to? Grant! Hey, Grant! You calling me, Silas? Come here! And hurry up! Something wrong? My girl, Cora, and damn sister Jean have disappeared. What's that you said? Who's disappeared? Jean and Cora. But where's Maggie? She was with them, aren't she? Maggie. Why, she said she was staying with them. Well, I'll be. Hasn't anybody seen him? Grant, do you recollect last night? Huh? Them shadows, that noise I heard. You don't suppose... The ninjans got him? Oh, you're local. What'd you say about the ninjans, Jim? It was while me and Grant was keeping guard. I thought I'd heard a noise and seen some shadows by the wagons, but I couldn't find nothing. Didn't you look to see if the women folks are safe? Well, I didn't look... We never figured anything was really wrong. They've been took by them redskins, as sure as blazes. Come on! Where you going? To get our horses. If them ninjans have got Cora and Cora in what in thunder? It's a masked man again. And look, the women are with him. And that ain't all. They're holding guns on ninjans. Ninjans? Can't you see them? Jean! Hey, Jean! Hold it still, Miss! Hold it still! What's the idea? Them redskins. You're gone, local. We've been... We've been doing your work for you out with the help of the masked man. You've been what? Well, then, take the live. Can't you understand plain English? Now look here, Maggie. Oh, I... I won't look here. If you men that are gonna do the looking and listening, here's the engine you were so scared of. The masked man helped us capture them. You women done this? There was no real danger, Grant. There were just five Indians. The women remained hidden with only the rifles they carried showing. Tato and I told the Indians they were surrounded and they gave up. Well, I'll be harm-swapping. Tato and I found their camp and thought of the plan. The women joined us during the night. At daylight, when the Indians could see the guns aiming at them from over the hill, we called on them to give up. And they did too. They knew playing well. We meant business. And these are the Indians who frightened you men. Made you decide to turn back. Well, I... It seems sort of funny. The only thing funny about it is that you men were scared of something that us women think. Never mind them, Cora. I suppose they still figure the West is too hard on them. They'll be head and knees again before the day is out. What do you say, fellas? I'll tell you what I say, Grant. We can't stand for women folks showing us up like this. If we turn back now, we'll be the laugh and stalk of everybody from here to Topeka. We gotta go on. You mean that, Jeff? And we're going on right now. Yes, sir, we are. You'll find all kinds of hardships on the trail ahead. Perhaps some of them will be worse than those you've already met. But this should prove that none are as bad as your imagination makes them. Stranger, you've proved that of plenty. And it was me that said he was an outlaw. Outlaw? Why, land sakes, this is the man we've been hearing about ever since we left home. He's the lone ranger.
