up with Danielle again. I'm back to the States. I'm just gonna meet her for a little bit because I have to have dance practice. I'm just gonna grab lunch with her. Our mini photo shoot and I came to eat first at Nova Kitchen because the cafe was closed. I've been here once before with Joan and Christine. They have vegan vegetarian options. They have some dishes that are vegan. This is my hummus and roasted vegetables. It looks so healthy. Let's go. It's 12.57. Joan, Junee. Junee? Today is Wednesday, which means I have radio with Kory. Kory from 2.4K. I am digging your glasses, yo. It sounds like an interview. It sounds so formal right now. I know. Look at the way you're sitting. You're making me really uncomfortable. You look good. You've got your full makeup done, your hair done. You've got my hair did. You've been busy these days promoting. I went into Sound K on Wednesday, guys, for Song Express.  Hey, I'm promoting you. I still call these glasses. They look better on me. Did you just say what I thought you just said? Yeah, it looks better on me. If you're going to talk smack, just say it to my face. Where can I get this? Can you ask your stylist where they got this? I can. Just for my own reference. I just want this straight. I'm not going to tell you exactly where she got it. No, you've got to tell me so I can buy one. You're so mean. All right. Time to work. Let's go. I wanted to share my lip color of the day because this is one of my favorite red lipstick colors and it's super affordable. It's this matte matte lipstick from Clio color number three red supreme and I love the texture of the lipstick and the color as well. It's like true red. Definitely one of my favorite red lipsticks. So I'll leave the links down below if you're interested. We are at Seoul university station. Do you guys remember Chisoo? She's from my Cancun blog. We went to Cancun together and she's back in Korea. She's visiting for like a month, a month and a half. Yeah, so we are reunited and we are going to explore Sharosu-gil today. So it's my first time in this neighborhood. It's called Sharosu-gil. I guess it's like a play on Karosu-gil and it's near the Seoul university. So I guess that's why it's called Sharosu-gil. And I heard there are a lot of cute cafes here. So we are going to explore today and we're actually gonna surprise our friend who works at this Italian restaurant. She's our mutual friend and we're gonna surprise her. We didn't tell her we were coming. Hopefully she's here. This entire street is Sharosu-gil and we are trying our third cafe today. It's called Seoul Table. Let's hope that they will have seats. If they don't... Drunk already? What is New York? Oh my corner soul. Oh, why is it the last opposite? I don't know. Say goodbye to her last time. It's okay. You're doing great. Another adorable restaurant I can't. Hey, come here. So many cute places to see. Not enough time to go to all of them.


When I'm dreaming at night it seems real to me I couldn't differentiate if the people that exist in my in my dream This seems very real and I can talk to them I can touch them and even seem to happen to you. So when I awake, I know that it's illusions So is that the same thing for my life right now? How real is this life? Would it be possible in one day when I awake all these are just illusion to me all people is going to be gone The problem is you're reading bits and pieces of Zen Okay bits and pieces of Zen are dangerous Bits and pieces of anything is dangerous now what you're saying is true in a way because 99% of your life is just thought and emotion Thought and emotion is just a projection of life not life. Isn't it when 99% of the time you're only thinking about life Thought to emotion is also a kind of thought a juicier thought isn't it? Thought is dry emotion is juicy, but still a thought isn't it? The way you think is the way you feel isn't it so? Yes Isn't it so? Now you if you think oh, this is a wonderful person.  You will have nasty emotions towards that person You can't think this is a wonderful person and have nasty emotions. You can't think this is a horrible person and have sweet emotions Isn't it so? Because the way you think is the way you feel Thought and emotion are not different They're the same thing. They're just thought one is dry another is juicy Because it's juicy. It has a drag time. So you think they're different. So you can be thinking like this today You can be thinking this is a very wonderful person tomorrow morning. He does something that you don't like suddenly you can think He's a horrible guy. You thought immediately takes a right angle turn, but emotion cannot turn so quick It takes a long turn Takes a few days or a months, but after some time it'll come and join the thought isn't it so? Yes, it has a drag time Emotion will not turn immediately. So you think they're different. They are not different They are same. It is just thought one is dry another is juicy. So your whole life is just thought and emotion So it is very much like a dream. It is So now that you were on to Zen you must know about Changsu who went about doing this Changsu was a great Zen master In his ministry he had many monks and he's a recognized master One day morning suddenly he's in great state of misery So when they saw the master in misery Everybody got terrified If the master is in misery something really bad must have happened because always he's joyful and nice So senior most monks slowly approached him and asked master what is happening Said don't you disturb me. I'm in a deep distress get away I said if you are in distress that should be death for us. Please tell us what is causing distress to you Then Changsu said oh Yesterday night in my dream. I was a butterfly The monk said what is wrong being a butterfly we've been many things sometimes we've been pigs We've been birds.  I could feel the flower. I could smell the flower I could taste the flower. It was all real Now I don't know whether I am Changsu dreaming to be a butterfly or am I a butterfly dreaming to be a Changsu Which is true because both look equally weird and real When you live just on the thought process. This is how it is He's using is it a method to shock his monks out of their stupor of Spirituality because people are reading Sutras and this and there they think what they read and what they think is spirituality So he's trying to knock their psychological structure out so that they become existential If you're experiencing life life Not thought not emotion life if you're experiencing life as such such a question will not come But when most of your life is just thought and emotion it is very true. It is very much a dream. It's just another projection


So in this video I want to talk about all the ways or at least many of the ways that you can change colors of your plots and graphs and plotly Now we are here in our studio And I'm going to show you the actual code as it's put together in our markdown file remember the surrendered file is available on our pubs and This actual rmd file will be available on github as well So you can see they markup language at the top here just to instruct This coding to html what to do we see a title there author in the outputs going to be html and the table of content set to true So let's have a look at the libraries that we're going to use I'm going to use a table as always. I prefer that over data frame Just to print a data frame nicely to a web page I'm going to use the dt library of course plotly and then there are color brewer Now color brewer is a website that you can visit and then there is this wonderful package in R That can make use of those colors as always I do use some cascading style sheets just to color the heading one heading two and heading three levels. I Have a logo that I always insert in these art pubs documents and you can see there how I How I add that now remember I am using the set working directory get working directory Function I'm using up here and this rmd file in this png file live in exactly the same folder So that by default then as I mentioned plot there are some excellent colors and you can Customize them extensively and then if we add our color brewer package we can do even more So first of all, let's create some data that we can work with I'm going to just set the pseudo random number generator I'm going to see that with a integer one two three just so that if we rerun this code We get exactly the same random values back. I'm going to create a computer variable called cities And that is going to have a sample space of these one two three four five six seven cities And as I clip there spot the odd one out Anyway, I want 200 of those at random and replacement is true so that when one is drawn it goes That name gets goes back into the hat to be able to redraw So let's run all of our code. I'm going to run all the imports of my libraries there And then if we go down Let's create these random values off we go and we see on the right hand side under global environment I see that I have 200 values in there Now remember if we use the table function on the cities that is going to give me back At least to the screen this little table that just shows me the sample space values Boston Cape Town LA Miami New York City Seattle and San Francisco And the number the count of those unique values Amongst these 200 if I just use the names function Of on this table of cities. I'm just going to Save as a string vector then the names Boston Cape Town And let's store that in a computer variable called city dot names and you see I have my one two three four five six seven cities there And if I use the as dot numeric function on this table of the cities, then I'm only going to save The numbers the counts. So let's do that And if I do have those that makes it makes it easier to create a bar chart And remember bar chart just shows us these counts. So it's very good for a Categorical variable. So let's create it there And we see plot underscore ly And I'm going to add to that a trace and this trace type is a bar Remember all of this could have just gone into that function right there This is another way to do it on the x-axis is the city dot names Remember those are just the seven names and the y-axis are those counts I'm doing some layout by putting a title x-axis and the y-axis on the x-axis I want to list because I have both title and zero line both those keyword arguments And something else that you'll see here. I use fig dot cap as part of my r Notation up here and it just creates a nice little Caption for my figure if I render that out to html So there we go And we see the default deep sky blue color. It looks fantastic I can hover over those and see the counts. We can see la there 34 San Francisco set 34 So let's just change away from this deep sky blue default By using rgb and rgba Now rgb stands for red green and blue and that is how your television works How your computer screen works those red green and blue little dots on your screen And each of those can take up a value from zero. That's absolutely black to 255 Which is maximum intensity so 256 levels there And if we push the red all the way up to 255 and keep the others Dark those pixels you're going to see red and then you get these mixtures in between the a is for opacity So I can also if I use rgba add a fourth value And that ranges from zero to one and that has to do with a bit of transparency So let's do that. It's exactly the same plot But this time i'm going to use the marker keyword and i'm going to pass the list to that because I want to Use the color and the line keyword arguments as part of this marker keyword argument So the color i'm just going to use rgb. That's 195 195 195 So that's sort of a light grayish color or the values being the same There's not going to be a color cast no color dominates So that's just going to be on the spectrum of pitch black to white and gray levels in between So this is going to be a lighter gray The line as part of the marker tells Plotly what you want the border Of whatever you're trying to plot to be so that color i'm going to use rgb 2020 20 that's very low intensity. So that's going to appear very dark And I want a pixel pixel width for this border of two Everything else stays the same. Let's have a look at that And now we can see our lighter gray and our very dark gray almost black border to these So very easy to change the colors This might be more appropriate if you're going to submit it to a journal who wants monochrome images So let's just add a bit of opacity to that. So on the color here I'm going to use this 255 in the red channel nothing in green and nothing in blue But I used rgb a so I can put this fourth value 0.6. That's the opacity 0 meaning That they From 0 to 1 as I said and that is from being fully transparent at 0 to fully opaque at 1 So let's do a 0.6 there and you're going to see the red is going to be able to see through And there we go. So you can see those lines come through As far as the red is concerned Now I can Individualize each of these bars. I can give them each a value So my marker here again, I'm going to pass a list of values the color is what I'm after in this instance And I need to pass values for all seven of them So you can see two of them are a bit different And you've got to do it in the order that they did appear here that Vector of names that you created initially you have to follow that order. So let's have a look at this And there you go see there's no border that the color was the only keyword argument And here we can see the transparency at 0.7 follow them, but you can see these two the la and san francisco They were the highest at the highest count. So we colored them in red So you can really just individualize those colors Instead of using rgb in rgba We can actually use a list of named colors and if you go to this website of The worldwide web organization You can see a list of the color names that you can use and you can see we said here silver silver red silver silver silver red And then the opacity remember this one didn't have any opacity when we Right at the beginning Up there now i'm going to add some opacity And that opacity has to go on its own and i'm just repeating 0.77 times. So i have this vector Of 0.7 0.7 0.7 etc So let's have a look at that there we go. It looks exactly the same Those values are used were for silver and red and that's another way that we can do this by just using these These names of the colors Another way to go about it is just use hex colors hexadecimal color values also Hslu saturation and lightness and hsv color sets that you can use So you're using the hexadecimal color set And you see there i pass it as this vector of these strings And those are the values for red green and blue c0 c0 c0 and then ff 00 that ff Is maximum That's uh 2 to the power 4 16. So that's the maximum value there And if we print this out Again, there's just opacity there. I'm just repeating 0.77 times Again, exactly the same thing that we're going to get back Now we've also got some inbuilt color palettes that we can use First of all though, let's create a tipple and it's just going to hold all of these values for us So there's my df is my computer variable a pass a tipple city and sale So city is going to hold all my cities The 200 that we created before and then i'm just going to create another set of Values the length being the number of cities. So those are equal I'm going to round it to one digit and a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10 And then the data table function from the dt package And that's going to print it to the screen very nicely here You can see you can run through all of those you can even Go for ascending and descending order you can show how many entries you want to see at one time very nice the dt package So here we go. We're going to add this trace the data's df on the y-axis We want sale in on Color by city remember that there's nothing to do with color If you wanted colors that would be with an s So let's just have a look at this box plot And that is just going to give us these cities And then the sales on the y-axis as we asked and that sale is now going to just be individualized for each of the cities And that's the default we use there, but let's use one of the color sets You see the color sets for instance, they have set one set two set three Pastel one two and paired and dark to an accent And so those are the qualitative qualitative pellets you get many sequential. That's this light to dark pellets and You even get these dark to light to dark pellets as well And examples of those would be dark two and b r b g So let's just have a look at two of these. Here's the dark two So let's have a look at that And indeed you'll see every dark colors there And we're plotting out exactly the same thing but but by a certain palette And let's have a look at this brown green and beige Kind of colors you see goes from dark to light to dark So if you go to the colorbrewer website, you can certainly have a look and also look at things like color blindness, etc A lot for you to read and I've put a little of that From their webpage the other our colorbrewer package at least In here for you. You can also go to colorbrewer2.org and you can read more about these. So let's use that and One of the pellets is the paired pellet So the way that we're going to do that is say colors equals brewer dot p a l pal for pellet The number that I want is the length of the names of the tables of the cities Remember there were seven so that's going to give me seven colors back just using the length If I knew to a seven I could just have said brewer dot p a l and then seven comma What I want is the paired pellet. So let's have a look at what that looks like And there you go the paired pellet that looks rather nice And let's use something else. Let's just have a look at this now the thing is that many of these packages have between eight and twelve possible colors, but you might have a need for more than just those twelve And you can certainly do that with our colorbrewer package and we're going to use the color ramp pellet function as a keyword argument So this is how we would go about it. First of all, I'm just creating the sequence of values from negative two to two in steps of 0.1 And on the y-axis, I'm taking the sign of each of these values So I'm going to create this scatter plot x is going to have my x values that sequence y is going to have the sign values mode as markers. So it's a scatter plot And the marker is a list size equals 10 and the color then is this color ramp pellet Inside of that we have brewer dot p a l and we are asking for 10 there Spectral is what we want and we want 41 of these colors, please 41 colors So let's have a look at that and see how that comes out Beautiful there. We see our sine curve and we can see all these colors from red to blue and the 41 shades That we can see they're absolutely fantastic So that's in short, uh, how to manage colors inside of platte. There's really The sky's the limit you'd need and stick stick to deep sky blue You can choose whatever you like and there are many ways to go about this


Welcome to the RF Elements unlicensed podcast. I'm your host Caleb Nour and we're joined with our co-host Tossos Hey, what's happening everybody? What's going on? So Tossos? What are we doing? Why are we here? What's that? I don't know man Well, I think we were just like chit-chatting once we brought you on board and said you know what? We should start doing some sort of podcast some video cast and some video blogs and let's just let's just start talking about Things that happen in the industry and what we have going on. So here we are Cool, cool. That works for me. So, you know, there's a lot to talk about RF Elements is obviously an antenna company, but we're so intertwined with all the workings of the Wisp industry and We focus a lot on education. We think it's really important You know smart customers a good customer for sure But you know, there's so much more than that been only education aspect of things so You know, you've got the more more history more background here Tossos You know, what do you think about our educational efforts and what do we do as a company to help? Guide the Wisp industry as a whole. Yeah, I mean We've been doing a lot over the last five now plus years really in doing this You know education is a really big part of what we do at RF Elements for the industry itself I mean really, you know, we're not we're known as the horn company But we're so much more than just horns, you know, the education starts You know with what we did with Wisp Traveler where we tried to go and educate other users by bringing Exposure to experienced users and how they're using our products and how it's helped their networks to where we've gone with inside wireless, which is you know, kind of a another industry first Where you know, we're trying to really, you know break down the barriers and knowledge, right for Some of these really complicated technologies and you know, RF and antennas has always been, you know Kind of Greek to everybody from from that standpoint. So kind of Yeah, you like that you like that. So yeah, so the the inside wireless You know video series again really takes on a lot of these roadblocks and helps the user base become More educated on how these things work and that overall helps them operate their Wisp and understand The technologies that they're using now and the technologies that, you know Come out in the future to really build a solid foundation and you know One of the most important things, you know, that a wireless operator needs to understand is how the wireless works that they're using So that's a another another thing and you know, kind of like what we're doing here, too, right? This podcast is really to again, you know expose the industry More to other interesting topics not just RF But what's you know really happening that we got funding going on right now with our golf and you know All those other types of government grants that are available for people Spectrum is constantly changing. We got Wi-Fi 6 coming. So I mean this is just it's almost endless what we can talk about But those are just probably some of the you know, the starter topics You know that we'd have on the show for example, very cool. Well, you know, people might be asking Why would you do a podcast? You know, you guys primarily do a lot of YouTube videos Which are awesome my personal opinion But you know why this podcast format and why are you doing both and the way I think of it is, you know, YouTube's great Watching the video sitting down and you know learning is a great way to Definitely pick up some tips and things like that But I really enjoy the podcast format because I spent a lot of time, you know driving spent a lot of time out walking You know away from a desk Whether for work or personal reasons and you know as we all know wisps are extremely busy folks So, you know, I think it's a good opportunity for us to be able to share some information And if they want to sit here and watch the video awesome great You can see our lovely faces, which is obviously the highlight of anyone's day But but also we're going to do the video, you know traditional or excuse me audio traditional audio for get format as well and That way people can listen as they're going between sites or going about their day and pick up a few hopefully nuggets of information So that's one, you know thing I really like about a podcast format and the second thing is that By its nature is a lot more informal, you know when we do a scripted product launch or An unboxing or an intro video or something like that, you know, it's very formal very scripted and laid out really well whereas this is a informal sort of Super flexible format right so, you know, it's really cool to say one day We're going to talk about horns horns horns and nothing else or maybe we'll talk about a product release or you know Some other thing that that ties in directly to us But maybe the next day we're talking about like he said funding things going on how noise affects Various things multi-user Mimo we'll get in a conversation about that or whatever I want, you know It's extremely flexible and it also means that you know, not only are is it gonna be us sitting here and coming up with a Format but you know, we want feedback from folks in the world, you know our customers and people that aren't our customers You know, what do you guys want to hear us ramble on about definitely? I mean for for me You know what I always look for and and trying to kind of you know, push the company forward as well as you know Not everybody, you know Gets their information from the same sources. So we're very active on social media But we have a you know, what we you consider a limited reach because only so many people You know Participate in social media Facebook Instagram, whatever it is to again, you know gain some knowledge Ask questions so on and so forth. So, you know, that that's one avenue, you know Webinars is yet another avenue in which again people receive information, right? So we're very heavy on doing our web webinars globally different time zones even in different languages and stuff YouTube again, some people are visually You know learning people like myself. That's why I love YouTube. I love watching videos I'm not much of a podcast listener kind of guy But like you said, you know, West are always in their trucks They're always in their cars are always driving around going to see customers and you know Just listening to an audio podcast or watching this video wise However, they want to do it is yet another way to kind of reach out there to the the users out there and Deliver information right there's forums There's so many different avenues for delivering information and I believe that the podcast or video podcast is You know our next step in trying to again just reach the masses and share as much information as we can about this industry Well, luckily for you you picked an audio format with someone who is not southern at all and has absolutely no accent So this will make for a very effective way to do this We may need a banjo or something to start playing when you start talking maybe maybe some translators, so Well, we'll put subtitles underneath and it's funny because you know, I grew up in New Jersey And I used to have a fairly heavy kind of you know, New York Jersey type Accent and then I moved to New Mexico. I lived there for a couple of years And now in Texas now I have this kind of hybrid. Hey y'all, you know I'm kind of a thing but I've kind of lost my identity. I have a mix of you know, you know a little bit of everything, right? So talking fast is probably my my biggest My biggest issue. It's not really a twang or hard to understand Yeah, but I think we'll manage we'll get through it. Okay, so I don't know that the auto Subtitle for matters gonna work really well, but we'll see what you can get done. Well, very cool So for those out there that don't know us, you know, more folks probably know you toss us to me Obviously, you've been around a long time, but for those that don't know at all Give us a little bit about your background, you know, who are you? What do you do for RF elements and how do you tie into the industry? Yeah, definitely So I've been in the industry for quite a while. It's actually I was just talking with my wife the other day And I'm like, you know, I'm coming on 20 years soon, you know 15 plus in the industry So I started in the early 2000s about 2004 is kind of like my official launch, right? You know put my toe into the the wisp world By I was at the time I was you know building and creating CPEs for users I mean if you guys remember back then a lot of people that are coming in new or you know complaining about, you know $100 and $90 CPEs, but we had four or five hundred dollar CPEs back then, right? So, you know, I kind of started pushing micro tech in in in, you know, these these Integrated enclosures and stuff like that and kind of bringing the price down to the market for CPEs and APs and different types of enclosures and stuff and then I Transition from that into distribution. So I owned and operated Titan wireless for close to about 10 years or something like that And in my you know again 10 years of doing product distribution I've met so many different suppliers and that's kind of you know, how I started building my relationship or my relationship started with RF elements, I can't even remember how far back that was but was somewhere around 2010 to 2012 or something at some trade show in Prague I met RF elements for the first time and you know back then they were making again, you know Kind of accessories and stuff like that But it was really kind of interesting stuff that they were doing their designs were you know Really good from the like industrial design standpoint and the RF performance and other usability things and so we had again a fairly Long relationship before coming on board with RF elements to say hey, you know, we really want to do something different We're tired of you know building. Let's say the better of mousetrap, right? You know, so everybody else has an antenna enclosure Let's just make one that looks cooler or acts slightly different We want to totally revolutionize things and you know, we got this thing called horns and it's really gonna be awesome You know and that's kind of how I got started They they showed me the product and I said, you know what this is this is pretty cool stuff And you know about I said five six years ago, you know came on board and you know here I am five six years later Cool. So as your title of product evangelists, what is all what all the what all is that entail? Other than the other people at Facebook Why at RF elements again, we we do everything a slight a lot different than than other people titles really are Relevant within within the the company itself. I've worn so many hats for RF elements, you know business development sales distribution blah blah blah blah whatever marketing and you know as I Have grown within the company as far as responsibilities and what we're doing and stuff like that You know, I kind of fell into like that the marketing side of things social media was something I was really comfortable with being on camera was something I was really comfortable with, you know public speaking all this other stuff and you know At some point I found that I was like evangelizing horns because I had to you know Kind of sell people not on the product but the concept, you know So it's kind of like religion.   You need to go out there and preach the gospel of Born into the technology. I'm like cool. That works, you know, whatever So that's that's how I became the product evangelist and who knows how long that'll that'll stick for but that's that's kind of How it evolved that's what we need to get you some big robes the next way You know when you're up on stage, you're gonna see the flow belt. So That's funny. So a little bit about me. I've been in the industry I went full-time in November of 2004 That was my first full-time whisper industry job employee number one With some dubious paperwork in the background, but I'm sure it's fine. So whatever but I was in the radio manufacturing business much like you you know putting units together and in the tech and the advancement That we've seen over the years has been absolutely amazing. So did that for about ten years or so Left there went to distribution back to radio manufacturing a little bit back to distribution for a while So, you know what 18 years give or take I've been in the industry and I landed RF elements recently just a few months ago and so far it's been super exciting, you know, I I was Drawn to the company for a lot of the educational material, you know when people and I knew who you guys were Just from using you in the past and you had a really good reputation But you know after some conversations and doing some research and seeing the content that was put out the quality of the website Like all these things, you know, it really speaks to the quality of the whole message of what you're doing So I joined My official title as of now is business development director Which is a fancy way of saying that I work for the end user, you know Basically, I am tasked with leading our efforts to educate to inform Our end users that are out there to find new users pitch the sales side of things pitch the tech side of things and Just make sure that everyone's educated up to date and finding where we can provide good solutions So so far it's been a really good fit and I'm super excited where we're going and Other places we have yet to go so Good stuff. Yeah, and that's you know, what a lot of people may not really know is that our relationship has You know, we've known each other for pretty much the same amount of time You know, I kind of really started getting really active in 2004 I remember you and Hal and Matt from back in the deliberate days, right? So I mean we go way back, right? So, you know, some people may think that you're just some newcomer and not to the industry, right? But just to the company like there was no previous relationships there or anything like that But yeah, we we've got a lot of stories. Yeah. Yeah, well, I don't know how many Before long will be out out on our rocking chairs on the porch just shaking my fists at the yards. So Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So a lot of a lot of stories a lot of history there for both of us together And it's it's great to honestly, you know have you on board and for for us to actually really work together With a you know a united front and a united goal. So it's really cool stuff. I'm excited. Yeah, I'm you know I'm really kind of like looking for you know, where does this podcast go? I mean, it's really in its infancy This is kind of just the intro who we are what we're trying to do with this whole video series But I'm I'm really looking forward to Interact with the the users out there. I mean, that's something that I do often and I really enjoy about my job is wanting to know Where the user base wants us to go with this podcast? So I'm interested in getting feedback from everybody out there on you know, what are the topics we should talk about? You know, it should just should this be more technical, right? Should we be talking about theory of radios and tenas and other things or you know, should it be more general discussions? I mean, there's just there's just so much so much we can cover so much we can cover with this this show Yeah, and that's the cool thing about this format is we can make it whatever we want to be and we decide something works great And if it doesn't work and it's stupid then y'all let us know and we'll change it So you'll see some format flexibility as we progress But we'll get home down here in a little bit.

they did an update to their project where everything was now hooks based. And so I had to learn, I had to sit there and port everything in the modules over to hooks because that's what everybody was gonna be seeing when they started doing the modules. And I found that when I did that, I was able to delete a lot more code of stuff that I was writing before. Most specifically, it's around working with state. And so before, you know, like with React, if you wanna do something with state and you wanna update a state value, but you have to use the previous state value as one of the thing, one of the, in the calculation of the new state.


air forces in Europe. I'm the Whistler and I know many things for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. And now the Whistler's strange story, she wanted too much. Walker looked beautiful standing there by the window. Part of it was because Ruth knew how to look beautiful and more important, when to look beautiful. Yes, you realize the importance of your appearance when you were very young, didn't you, Ruth? And now at this rather late hour, your employer, Charles Burton, seems especially susceptible to your Whistler's seemingly innocent beauty. And as Charles smiles at you and you smile and return, the relationship of employer and secretary seems to change. Here at your apartment, Charles seems to forget his jewelry store, his troubles at home, everything but his immediate surroundings. I think you'll find this just right, Charles. Oh, thanks, Ruth. I'm sure I will. Everything you do is just right. You know, if you keep saying that, you might convince me and then I'd be unbearable, darling. Here, take your things. Thanks. Good? Oh, perfect. All right, Ruth. What day is it? Exactly five months ago, I walked into your jewelry store. I asked for a job. There wasn't any until... Until I walked in and saw. And then there was. Five months ago today, right? Yes, Charles. It's all been wonderful. Only ones he missing. For me, anyway. Yes. Not only always, darling. 365 days a year. Ruth, I thought we'd agreed not to discuss that. I'm sorry, it's just that I... Let's not spoil what we have, Ruth. There's no change. Nothing holding either of us. Except that I've fallen in love with you. You will get over it when you meet some nice young man. I won't. I don't even want to, ever. I'm still married, Ruth. My wife isn't well. I couldn't leave her after 20 years. The shock would be too much. I've asked nothing of you except the pleasure of your company from time to time. If you'd rather not see me anymore... Please, Charles. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything. No, Ruth. You really shouldn't have. I wish you hadn't. Well, Ruth, even after five months you're moving too fast, aren't you? Charles Burton, your employer and friend, is still cautious on guard.  You're still wondering about it after Charles leaves when... Fred, you shouldn't have come here like this. Easy, baby. I saw him leave. Close the door when I talk to you. It's...it's late. Ah, relax. Sit down. All right, Fred. What's bothering you? When do we go to work on your boyfriend? You got enough on him right now for me to approach him? We have nothing on him so far. He's since he's been friendly and kind. He's given you quite a few expensive doodads, hasn't he? He's been up here plenty of times. That's enough for me. Besides, you can always exaggerate a little you have before. Now, when do I go to see him and threaten to tell his wife? I'll tell you when.  Hey, you wouldn't have something else in your mind, would you? Like what? Like deciding to sell Mr. Big and getting a divorce and marrying him, cutting me out of the deal.  He's old enough to be my father. That don't bother a lot of women. I'm as anxious for some of the verdant money as you are. All right then, figure out something. I like...I think I have, but it'll take a little minute. If I don't like the blackmail idea, Fred, it's too risky. Charles might not go for it either. You thought of a better idea? I think so. You can hold him up. Hold him up? Your boss? Yes, it'll be easy, Fred. Oh, you're out of your mind. Besides, I'm not interested in small change. You call 20 or 30,000 small change? You're telling me he carries... Listen, Fred, tomorrow night Charles is taking some diamond rings and bracelets to the Blue Hills Hotel to show a woman customer from out of town, an older woman. She didn't want to come to the store so Charles agreed to bring him over. Now, he's due there at nine o'clock. He's a little reckless for a man of his age, isn't he? Not particularly. It's not unusual. He lives within five minutes drive of the Blue Hills. He can carry them in a case in his inside pocket and no one but me knows anything about it. I still don't like it. Well, you will when I tell you how I've worked it out. Let me get you a cup of coffee already. Here, Fred. What's the idea of going through my desk drawer? I'm not going through it. I'm looking for some cigarettes. Well, there's some in that box on the television. Here's your coffee. Look, Fred, this is so simple a child could do it. Charles will get to the Blue Hills at about nine. You'll park on the lot and there's only one attendant. You can get in the car while he's in the hotel, hide in the back seat. I'll give you a key to the car. You got a key to his car, huh? Yes, he forgets and locks his keys in the car every now and then when he comes over so he had an extra one made for me. The license number is Q248Y13. It's a big blue flag. Yeah, I know the car. I've seen it parked outside this place often enough. Well, it was your idea that I'd get the job with Charles and play up to him. Okay, okay. You know, you might have an idea of that. It's foolproof as anything can be. It's worth a try, I guess. Tomorrow night, huh? Yes. Now, listen, Fred, all you have to know is that you're going to have to go back to the room. Fred reacted exactly as you hoped, and you're certain that after the holdup, Fred will be out of your life for many years at least, aren't you, Ruth? Next evening, you return home immediately after the store closes. Wait impatiently until 20 minutes before nine. Then leave your apartment. Speak pleasantly to the desk clerk in the lobby as you carefully explain you'll be back in a few minutes. You're certain Fred will do exactly as you've told him. And you know what you're going to do too, don't you, Ruth? Yes, you know exactly what you're going to do. And you smile grimly as you enter the corner drugstore. Walk quickly to the phone booth and dial the police. Fourth precinct station, Sergeant Gray. There's going to be a holdup about 9.30. Just a minute. Who's talking? It doesn't matter, and you needn't try to trace this call. I'm talking from a public phone. If you're interested, someone is planning to hold up Charles Verdon in his car at 9.30 on the parking lot of the Blue Hills Hotel. It's a blue sedan licensed number Q248Y13. The holdup man will be hiding in the car. And you're certain that within the hour you will be well rid of Fred Markle, your former sweetheart and partner in more than one shady activity. When you return to the apartment building, you chat idly for 20 minutes or so with the desk clerk. Then take the elevator to your apartment. As you're about to turn on your radio and perhaps hear a news flash of the holdup. Fred! It's a matter, pal. You're looking at me like you're surprised I'm still around. Well, no. Come in. I'm just surprised you got back so soon. I don't see how you had time. I didn't wait for him to park at the Blue Hills. I drove by his house about 8.30. His car was parked outside. It was dark, so I decided to take him before he went to the Blue Hills. I parked and got in the back of his car okay. In about five minutes, Verdon came out, got behind the wheel. Somebody saw you? No. The Chippos got a little rough. He's a pretty big guy. It wasn't easy. Stinging you killed him? I am afraid so.  I told you not to get rough. Verdon's the boy that got rough. What else could I do? It was him or me. Who did you get the jewels? No, I didn't get the jewels. I barely got away as it was.  Do you think he was tipped off? Well, he acted like it. He had a gun. Sit down, Fred. I'll get you a drink. Then you can tell me all about it. Okay. I can use one. Here, sir. I told you last night the cigarettes in that box on the TV set. That desk drawer seems to fascinate you. I wasn't looking for cigarettes this time, baby. I was looking for this gun of yours. I noticed it last night when I opened this drawer. Lucky for you, it's still here. What do you mean? I mean, that gun your friend Verdon was carrying tonight looked a lot like this one. Good thing it's still here.  See what you kept this gun? Never told me how to rod. Charles gave it to me. Sometimes when he went out on deals like tonight, he asked me to go with him. Bodyguard, eh? Now, it's still here, so let me have my drink. We'll forget it. Yeah. It's a matter. The hands are shaking.  You really thought a lot of him, didn't you? Skip it. Point is, our plans are out the window. And if you're caught, you'll be faced with a charge of murder. We'll be faced with a charge of murder. You think I'll take this rap alone, you creep? In a minute. You better go, Fred. I'll go back way and get out of town for a while. Well, yes, you know I'm down to nothing. I can let you have 200 here. Cast a check today. This will take you quite a distance and keep you for a couple of weeks. If I haven't say, get going. All right, but I'll be back, baby, in a couple of months. I'm Lieutenant Wilson. I'm sorry to disturb you at this hour. What's wrong, Lieutenant? We're going to have some bad news for you, about your employer, Mr. Verdon. Mr. Verdon? Yes. I'll make it brief. There was an attempted holdup. He was killed. Mr. Verdon, get off. Here. You better sit down, Ms. Walker. Now tell me, you were here all evening? Well, yes. Except for about five minutes when I walked down to the drugstore. The desk clerk saw me leave and returned. You may ask him if you like. Hold on. That won't be necessary. That's a routine question. Well, I guess that's all for now. Good night, Ms. Walker. Good night, Lieutenant.  You're sure Fred is left town, and you're glad he's gone. But without Charles Verdon, the man you plan to marry or compromise, your future seems darkly uncertain. You're not even sure you'll be retained at the Verdon Jewelry Company, are you? Next day, the store is closed. But the following day, you return to work. And a week later, when you enter the private office, formally occupied by your late employer. Good morning. Oh, excuse me. I didn't know. Well, that's quite all right. Come on in. You're Ms. Walker, aren't you? But yes, I am. I'm Bob Paxford, Mrs. Verdon's nephew. Won't you sit down? Thank you. My aunt has asked me to sort of run the business for at least for a while, and I'm sure she can find someone capable of it. I see. I wasn't very anxious to take it, but she and Uncle Charles have always been so nice to me. I thought I ought to give it a try, at least. I'm sure you'll do very well. Oh, I'm afraid not, unless I get a lot of help from a lot of you people here in the store. And that brings me to the big question. The big question? Yes. My aunt says Uncle Charles thought a great deal of you, your ability. She says he often remarked he didn't know how he got along before you became his personal secretary. Well, that's nice to hear, but I'm afraid it's more than I deserve. Oh, not according to Aunt Alice. Anyway, would you mind staying on as my secretary until I sort of get out of the thing? Well, I know. I'll be glad to. Oh, good.  I'll do my best to show my appreciation. Well, don't worry about it, Mr. Paxford. I'm glad you offered me the position. I think I'm going to enjoy working with you.  Bob Paxford is handsome, young, wealthy, and single. You're careful in everything you do and say. And within a few days, your certain Bob is almost as impressed as was his late uncle. It isn't long until he invites you to lunch. And this is followed by an invitation to the theater. Many other dates follow. And at the end of two months, you're certain he's in love with you. That it's only a question of time until he asks you to marry him. Then late one evening, Bob parks at a quiet spot on a high cliff overlooking the sea and turns on the car radio.  It's the first place we ever stopped and parked, isn't it, Bob? Yeah. That's why I'm crazy about it, I guess. I'd like to believe that. You can. That's why I parked in this particular spot, this particular evening. But so particular about this evening, Mr. Paxford? Well, I had something sort of particular to say. Something I've always been wanting to say since the first time I saw you, almost. Well? I love you, Ruth. I want you to marry me. Just like that? Just like that. No questions about who I am, my parents, no boyfriends, anything? Nothing. I don't care who you were or what you did before you knew me. I don't even want to know. Well, how about it? Yes. Don't you think a gal could answer that question better if the guy who asked that is on the run? Oh, Ruth, darn. Fred. Yeah, Fred. Told you I'd be back in a couple of months. Even so, you didn't have to come here. Oh, why not? Mr. Paxford's going for the evening. I watched him drive away 10 minutes ago.  Paxford, give it here, huh? Yes, he did. So you're going to marry him? No, I shouldn't I. Everything between you and me died a long time ago. Oh, relax. I don't blame you. The last guy in the world tried to keep an old pal from marrying Doe. You won't believe it, but I happened to love him. Sure, I believe it. But I bet you wouldn't have he was broke like I am, for instance. What are you getting at, Fred? Oh, just a little loan for old times' sake. Nice, friendly blackmail. How much? I'll go easy on you. 2,000. I couldn't possibly raise that much and you know it. Okay, I'm a reasonable guy. 1,000. Until when? Until never. Let me have a grand. You'll never hear from me again. You and Casanova can live happily ever after. That's a promise. All right, Fred, I'll take your word this time. You're being smart, baby. I'm out of your hair from now on. Honest. I'll take all my savings. I'll have to pawn my necklace. But meet me at the Mid-City National Bank at 10.30 in the morning. I'll have it for you. Next morning, you'll give Fred the thousand dollars. And as the weeks pass, you hear nothing further from him. Then one day, when you and Bob attend the opening day of the races, and approachingly finish line, it's a big star by the end of the week. Oh, there you are. You're being posted right now. Let's see. 2280, 228 bucks. Oh, that's our fourth winner. Yeah. And I got two of those winners from a friend of mine. If you'll excuse me for a minute, honey, I think I'll go to the bar and see what he likes in the next place. Go on along. He's been a perfect picket so far. I won't be gone in five minutes. Seat taken, lady. Now, these are reserved up. Fred, you... I know what I said, and I meant it. But I lost most of that grand in Nevada. Just let me have one more thousand. You're crazy. Where do you think I'm going to get it? You've been doing okay today. I've been watching packs of it collect for you. You get away from here, Fred, before you ruin everything. Call me at my apartment around 11, say goodnight. No use in calling you, Ruth. I'll be there. Then come in through the rear entrance and walk up. I can't afford for you to be seen. Okay. You're seeing it. I got the answer, Ruthie. Homicide. What? I'll bet in the next race. Homicide. Homicide? But you know, I think that's a real hunch, darling. Homicide. Did you come in the back way? You have the thousand? Yes, I have it. Good. Figured you'd decide to play it safe. I've got to play it safe, Fred. Okay. Let's have it. And this is the last time, Ruth, on the level. All right. I'll get it for you. And you're right, Fred. This is the last time. What's the idea that going... You'll see. Now you stay where you are. Who your phone is? Switchboard downstairs. The clerk's testimony will be very helpful. Death track speaking. What is it, Miss Walker? Get me the police quickly. There's a burglar in my apartment. Help me! Give me that... Oh! Stay away! Walker, are you all right? I'm all right. But I shot the man that forced his way into my apartment. I think I killed him. To talk now, Miss Walker? Yes, Lieutenant. I'm all right. Have you ever seen this man before? Not before today. I saw him at the racetrack this afternoon. Oh, well, how did you happen to notice him? He kept looking at me. Did you have a good day at the track, Miss Walker? Well, yes, very good. Mr. Paxford was with me. Uh-huh. This man saw you winning. He followed you home. But I had dinner with Mr. Paxford after the races. It was after 11 when this man knocked on my door and forced his way in. He asked for money, didn't he? We demanded a thousand dollars. I didn't think of it before, but that's just about what I was, Lieutenant. He spotted you with the track, all right. Well, it wraps it up. Try to get a good night's rest. Forget the whole thing. Then I've just killed a man.   Yes, but still... Forget it, Miss Walker. No one could possibly blame you for this. You haven't a thing to worry about, believe me. It was even easier than you thought it would be. The police didn't seem to doubt your story for a moment, did they? No, your timing was perfect. Phoning the death clerk at just the right moment. Making certain he'd hear your frantic call for help. Your plea for the police. Then the shots.  And you're certain there's nothing left to stop your marriage to wealthy Bob Paxford. You're certain, too, that the last link between you and the murder of Charles Verdon has been eliminated. Late the following morning, you're having coffee in your apartment when... Oh, good morning, Lieutenant. Come in. We sit down, won't you? I, uh, I brought your gun back, Miss Walker. Oh, my gun? I didn't know you had it. I took it when I left you last night. You were probably too upset to notice. Just normal routine. I see. You, uh, always keep this revolver in your own personal possession, do you, Miss Walker? For sure, when I was with Mr. Verdon when he was carrying unusually valuable jewelry. I, uh, keep it there in the desk drawer. Incidentally, I have it, Miss. I know, we looked that up. Ever loan it to anyone? Never. What's this all about, Lieutenant? I'm afraid I'm gonna have to charge you with murder, Miss Walker. Murder? Well, last night, you said it was self-defense. I'm not talking about last night. I'm talking about the murder of Charles Verdon in that attempt it holed up a few months ago. That wasn't anywhere near there. How could you possibly...  My gun? Ballistics prove it beyond adoption. We couldn't have been, I guess. I'm a... Fred. Fred who? Fred Markle. That's the man you shot last night. Yes, but he's the one who killed Mr. Verdon, Lieutenant. I remember now, he was at my apartment the night before Mr. Verdon was killed. He opened the desk drawer and I kept the gun looking for cigarettes. That's when he took it, it had to be. And then the night he killed Charles, he opened the drawer again and put it back. I know he did. Oh, wait a minute. Are you saying that Fred Markle came to see you at your apartment the night before Mr. Verdon was killed and again the following night after Mr. Verdon was killed? Yes, but I can explain that. Last night you said you'd never seen him before. I know, but I lied. I didn't want to get mixed up in anything, but Fred had been blackmailing me. So you killed Markle before he could get the young Bob Paxford to tell him about you and wreck your marriage.  It's no go, Miss Walker. You're under arrest. I couldn't do it, I tell you. You'll have to tell that to the jury, Miss Walker. I'm afraid they'll never believe that your gun killed two different men you knew and that you were innocent in both killings. And that's again next week when once again the United States Air Forces in Europe presents the wisdom of Sergeant Dom Cormay speaking. Of the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. The American Forces Network Europe.
