Hey Psych2Goers, this is part two of five myths about autism. If you wanna watch part one, check the link in description. With that said, here are five myths about autism, written by our autistic specialist writer and based on research into the most common myths among the public. Number one, the empathy myth. On any list of autistic traits, communication and emotion will be mentioned. Unfortunately, early researchers only saw the most extreme cases and got the wrong idea about the seemingly flat tone of voice and facial expressions. This led to continued misunderstandings about how autistic people feel empathy. Research shows that empathy actually has two components. Cognitive empathy is the ability to understand another person's thoughts, desires and beliefs. And effective empathy is the drive to respond to another person's emotional state. On average, autistic people demonstrate a lower cognitive empathy than control groups. But the effective empathy is the same. In other words, autistic people always care about what you're feeling, but they don't always recognize what emotion you're feeling or why. The link between emotional feelings and emotional expressions can be disconnected in autistic people. So when they do respond to another person's emotions, the results can appear flat or unaffected on the outside, but be assured, they're likely feeling a lot on the inside. Number two, the behavior myth. Were you ever thrust into a completely unfamiliar setting as a child? The results can be stressful for anyone and autistic people are no exception. A lack of understanding about autistic stress response has led to continued misconceptions about what these behaviors really mean. In the ignorant early days of autism research, autism was mistakenly thought to be a variation of schizophrenia and defined by negative behaviors. Some people can be anxious about unfamiliar behaviors and demonize what they don't understand. We now understand that autistic people are likely to have other conditions like sleep problems, anxiety and depression to be overwhelmed by their surroundings or to have difficulties communicating their wants and needs. This leads to constant stress and frustration which can manifest in unhealthy and unpredictable ways. Don't be fooled. The real challenge of autism isn't the outward appearance of behaviors. It's the underlying friction between the individual and a stressful environment. Number three, the friend myth. Making new friends can be tough, right? For those who find it really tough, there can be a temptation to just give up. This kind of social isolation can give off a misleading impression that's out of tune with their real desires. The misconception that autistic people don't want friends has led to self-fulfilling prophecies where other people don't reach out to autistic people because they assume it will be unwanted. In reality, many autistic people desire social relationships but they find it challenging to maintain stable, high-quality friendships. Even worse, a majority of autistic adults have reported that their childhood interactions included traumatic events, exclusion and bullying which can lead to self-isolation out of fear. Autistic people feel loneliness like everyone else but creating meaningful connections requires supportive friends with a true understanding of autistic differences and needs. Number four, the intimacy myth. If making new friends is tough, finding a partner is even tougher. There's a similar misconception to the previous one that can lead to even more ignorance of autistic people's wants and needs. The misconception that autistic people aren't interested in intimate relationships is another form of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Unfortunately, some parents of autistic children who face daily challenges can be anxious about the future and be in denial that they will become adults with even more challenges. They can deliberately ignore any possibility of intimate relationships as a way of insisting that they'll be children eternally. By refusing to give them any awareness or guidance, these parents set them up for failure and sabotage any possibility of adult relationships which gives off the wrong impression. In reality, autistic people desire intimate relationships like everyone else but they're exhausted and confused by the complex expectations and interactions involved. The uncertainties can be overwhelming and can also lead to withdrawal and self-isolation. And number five, the life trajectory myth. Charities aimed at helping autistic individuals often emphasize the most sympathetic cases. While this practice is well-intentioned, it can lead to some people getting the wrong idea.  Is it a young child? Although children can be autistic, there's a false impression that only children can be autistic which leads to the misconception that autism can be outgrown. This false impression is caused by the availability heuristic, a mental shortcut where people think that more memorable cases are more typical or important. In reality, autism can be found across the entire lifespan but adult cases are not publicized as often as childhood cases. This affects funding and adds to the challenges of autistic people growing up as they often become ineligible for support services once they become legal adults. But even when support goes away, autism doesn't as it's a core part of a person's being. So there you have it, 10 myths about autism. The next time you see a claim about autism, pause for a second and reflect on whether it might be a misconception before deciding to accept it or not. Even better, like and share this video to help spread correct and respectful knowledge about autism in society. Research shows that pre-bunking misinformation is more effective than debunking it. Meaning that it's best to spread corrections throughout the public before the misconceptions reach them. And you can help us with that. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you next time.


The more variants of the FTTH deployment architecture are important to be considered here. The next one after the peer-to-peer network is the active optical network. There is a reason that it is called active because it involves a star topology in which the central switching element is an active device. Let's get back to the text after we have seen the figure. This is the central office with one OLT installed. This OLT is connected to the active switch which is the central device through shared fiber. It is also known as the feeder fiber. The feeder fiber connects the OLT with the active switch. From the active switch to each home are the ONUs. So it means each ONU has a dedicated fiber optic led from the customer premises to the active switch. However, the overall length of fiber from the home or the user premises to the active switch is far less than the peer-to-peer fiber optic deployment that we earlier saw. So it means using this mechanism can significantly reduce the run or the length of cable. So the peer-to-peer links between the remote terminal and ONTs are fiber. However, the multiplexing that takes place between the OLT and the active switch is done in such a way that the active switch sequentially transmits the traffic of every ONU to the OLT. The next deployment is the passive optical network. It is different from the active optical network architecture because in active optical network architecture we saw an active optical switch. Now the active switch required the power supply. The power supply means some kind of mains or main power supply had to be provided to the active switch. But in case of passive switch, we shall see it is passive to give certain advantage. Number one, it is a passive star like we had an active star here in the preceding deployment. Here also it uses peer-to-peer shared links from the ONUs to the passive star at the passive switch and between the OLT to the passive switch there is a feeder fiber. Now there is an important concept called the splitter. The passive splitter is a device that passively splits the traffic coming from the OLT to the respective ONUs in one direction and aggregates the traffic that goes from the ONUs to the OLT. Now we look at the operation of the splitter in couple of slides. Now since the splitting is done without the involvement of any mains power supply unlike the active switch, so there is a likelihood that the more fiber strands which come out of the passive switch to the ONUs would cause the power to be shared I mean distributed and consequently the length of fiber from the passive switch to the ONUs would be significantly reduced. So that is an inherent downside of this mechanism. So this is passive optical network configuration looks like as we have already discussed the splitter is a splitter from the left hand side to the right hand side and it is an aggregator from the right hand side to the left hand side. If you look at the passive splitter it is nothing but the splicing or the interconnection of one input fiber to an array of output fibers. Each output fiber is then going to a specific ONU. So you see that there is a kind of array or some kind of tree that is formed. Now this tree is passive it means we don't see involvement of the electrical supply or the mains power supply here. Now this passive splitter is a device that is the easiest to be deployed. You can see that commercially off the shelf passive splitter arrangements are available from the market in a boxed containment. The last particular type of the deployment is the WDM or wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network. As the name suggests there are more than one wavelength. These wavelengths are carried from the feeder fiber to the respective individual fiber links to respective ONUs. The most natural and obvious reason for having more than one wavelength is to increase the bandwidth. So you see that here from the central office on a feeder fiber we have multiple wavelengths all sharing the same fiber. These wavelengths are non overlapping so there is no interference between them. Each wavelength is carrying a certain user or groups of user data and on the right hand side of the WDM splitter we see individual wavelengths going to individual ONUs in customer premises.


And now, stay tuned for the mystery program that is unique among all mystery programs. Because even when you know who is guilty, you always receive a startling surprise at the final curtain. In the Signal Oil program, the Whistler.  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, for the Signal Oil Company, the Whistler's strange story. The Clayton Affair. The day gray and overcast matched the mood of the scene on the hill. The old cemetery, high up over the scene, a swirling mist moving in and out among those gathered for the services. The last rites, last respects to be paid by the little crowd of townsfolk who had known and loved Jeff Clayton, killed in the prime of life. The remnants of Jeff Clayton's family were there, too. Mother Clayton, Jim, Jeff's older brother, Lenny, the youngest brother, cousin Freddie, and of course, Jeff's attractive young widow, Ardeth Clayton. She seemed least able to bear up under the ordeal. Even was supported by the menfolk until the services were over, and they were all back at the house, the stately old Clayton mansion on the hill. Only then could Ardeth begin to control her grief. Oh, cut it out, Ardeth. It's over. It's all over. He's gone. My brother's gone. Oh, brother, he was my husband, Jim. I loved him so much. Sure, sure they loved each other. Lenny's right, at least half right. I'm sure Jeff loved Ardeth. Oh, please. Freddie, it's no use. Stop it. All of you. He's dead. Murdered. Oh, Mother Clayton, please talk to them. They're acting as if it were my fault. No one said that, child. No, nobody said it. I'm sorry, Lenny. Jim, Freddie, Mother Clayton, it must be the strain, the funeral. If you don't mind, I'm going upstairs to bed. We don't mind. No, no, we don't mind. Good. Good night, then. Good night. Good night, Ardeth. It's a strain, isn't it, Ardeth? The day, the funeral, as you said.  And you have the feeling of a caged animal. You want out. You want to be free of the house somehow. And that's why you slip out of your upstairs room, down to the garage. A drive in the car would quiet your nerves, wouldn't it? Yes, a drive alone in the car. Wait, who did? Freddie. Yes. Yes, cousin Freddie. Too bad, my dear. My dear, Ardeth. The car won't start, huh? You heard. You know it won't. I'm sorry. No mechanic, however. Suppose your obvious intention of going for spin is spoiled. Lenny has the other car. It was all right yesterday afternoon. As I say, my girl, no mechanic. I... Well, someone's tampered with it. They don't want me to go out there. They're afraid I won't come back. You. Hmm? Oh, no mechanic indeed. There's grease on your hand. You tampered with this car, Freddie. Really? You're observant, Ardeth. Most observant. But I did nothing. As I say... I heard you. No mechanic. All right, Freddie. Have it your way. Good night, Ardeth. It's a strange nerve-wracking experience, isn't it, Ardeth? The happening's here at Clayton House. You've never liked or understood this odd close-knit family group. You return to the house, go to your room. A few minutes later, you hear footsteps. Footsteps along the upper hall. And then the turn of the key in a lock. Your lock, Ardeth. You rush to the door. Try it. And step back terrified with a realization. Locked in. I'm locked in. You wait, nervously wondering and waiting. And then, unable to stand at any longer, you ring for the maid. Then more waiting. Pacing. Until at last... Oh, you did come. They left the key in the lock? Yes, and I don't understand. Here. Here, do you understand this? Money, but... Don't tell anyone. After a while, I want you to unlock that door and help me get out of this house. Why, Mrs. Clayton? What's the matter? I don't understand. You don't have to. It doesn't matter. Just remember to come up here some time after midnight and don't let anyone see you. Yes, ma'am. You sink into a chair as the maid goes out, blocking the door. The waiting is terrifying, isn't it, Ardeth? But the knowledge that you have someone on your side now, that you've bought some help, a chance for escape, is very reassuring. Finally, much later, you see the latch on the door turning. She's back, isn't she? And you rise quickly and throw a coat over your shoulder. And then... Going somewhere, Ardeth? Jim Clayton. Uh-huh. Jeff's big brother. His keeper, if you like. What is it? What's going on around this terrible house? I think it's kind of nice here, Ardeth. Always liked the old family homestead. You've kept me locked in my room. Why, Jim, why? Sit down, Ardeth. I don't like excitable women. Tell me the truth, Jim. Why are you doing this to me? I said sit down. That's better. Cigarette? No. Then you don't mind if...  We've been over all that with the police. Yes, sure, sure. Like they said, he was murdered. I know what the police said. And I know I'm being held captive here in this house, and I want to know why. I'm trying to tell you, this man who killed Jeff was shot and killed by the police, or were you so busy being the grieving widow you haven't heard the details. You know I loved your brother. Do I? Well, let's say I thought you did once. Only we've been looking into the background of this fellow, Joe Hanson, who killed Jeff. Seems that he had a girlfriend, Ardeth. So? So she was seen with him quite frequently. She shouldn't have been, because she was a married woman. Go on. We, Claytons, have the idea Hanson's girlfriend was married to Jeff. What are you saying? I thought it sounded pretty clear. Do you want that cigarette now? What are you saying, Jim? That you did it, Ardeth. Because you were in love with this fellow, Hanson, and Jeff wouldn't have worshiped. You killed Jeff, Clayton. I had him killed in the same cold matter of fact where you'd step on a bug. If... If you're so sure of that, why don't you tell the police? Because we're not quite sure. When we are, we'll decide what to do with you, Ardeth. If you're innocent, all right, but if you're guilty... How will you know, Jim? How can you possibly know? You can't keep me here, terrify me into saying things that aren't true? That won't be necessary. Not at all. You see, the fellow that saw you and the boyfriend together so many times, he's on his way here. I don't understand. You will. When he identifies you as Hanson's girlfriend? Oh? Yes. Oh. Well, sweet dreams, Ardeth. Mr. Fletcher will be here tomorrow. Good night. This time I'll take your door key with me. Darling, I am growing old. That could well be the theme song of today's automobiles, what with more than half of the cars now operating being over eight years old. But regardless of how old or how new your car may be, there's a wonderful spring tonic to bring out the best in any car of any age. It's Signal Ethel, the premium grade of Signal's famous go farther gasoline. You say your car lags behind and watches others go by when the traffic signal says go, then you're not powering your car with Signal Ethel. You say your car complains on hills and pings force you to shift, then you're not powering your car with Signal Ethel. There's no tonic like this smooth, super powerful super fuel to put spring into your car and the joy of spring into your driving. And what do you know? It's spring right now. High time for you to try a tank full of Signal Ethel right now. It's a dread sleepless night for you, isn't it, Ardeth? Yes. Because you know what will happen the moment that witness arrives. Names you as the woman so often seen with your husband's killer. But there's nothing you can do now. Nothing the following morning as Jim opens the door to your room, ushers you downstairs to join the rest of the Claytons in the massive library.  And then you become conscious of a frightening sound, something just outside the library window. Someone's digging out there, Ardeth. A grave, perhaps? And you wonder if it's to be your grave. And then the digging stops. Shortly after that, Cousin Freddie comes into the room. Well, that's done. Oh, Ardeth. You should have kept me company out there. None of the others are interested in gardening. Gardening? Preparing a bed for my new bulb with the dialers. Oh. You're all terribly quiet. We're waiting for Mr. Fletcher, Freddie. Fletcher? Oh, yes. The one who's to tell us, oh. Hmm. Ardeth, I do hope he's mistaken. I've always had the... Fletcher, Lenny? Yes. I brought Mr. Fletcher. We're in the library. Fletcher? Fletcher, I don't know any Mr. Fletcher. Hold it. The important thing is, does he know you? Oh, how do you do, Mr. Fletcher? How do you do? Well, Mr. Fletcher? No, this isn't a girl. I'd know her anywhere, and this isn't a girl. Oh. Jim, she's fainted. I'll get her, Lenny. No, no. Leave her alone. Poor thing. The poor, frightened thing. It's over, isn't it, Ardeth? And you know it even as you sink down on the sheaths long in a half-faint. You can hear them talking around you, hear them ushering Mr. Fletcher out. A man who could have sealed your death warrant with a few words, but he didn't recognize you. Now you'll be able to get away, go somewhere where they'll never find you, even if they do someday learn the truth about Jeff's death. You rest for about an hour, and then go to the garden for a little fresh air. Jim steps up to you. Ardeth, I... I'm sorry. I guess we gave you a rough time. I know how you must have felt about your brother, but the part I can't excuse is the fiendishness of all of you. The kind of a family you are. Yes, I know. But you see, we're a close-knit family, Ardeth. We were just trying to make you break down and confess. But if you had, we wouldn't have taken the law under our own hands. We'd have turned you over to the police. You never liked me, any of you. Well, you might as well know I've despised you, too. The very name Clayton is something I'm anxious to forget. Now, leave me alone. All right. You look after him, smiling to yourself. Strange, isn't it, Ardeth? How it's all changed. How you can say anything now and be excused rather than accused. You turn as Jim enters the house and stroll along the gravel path leading down toward the boat house. You've got to think this out carefully now, don't you? And quickly, too. Decide exactly where to go so they can never find you. And you must get started soon, while the Clayton still believe you innocent. Ardeth? Ardeth? What? Oh, Lenny. Jim said I'd probably find you down here by the seawall. I thought you'd gone to the village with your friends, Mr. Fletcher. I did. Now I'm back and I want to talk to you. Well, if you've come to apologize. No. I just wanted to chat about Mr. Fletcher. What about him? Well, as you know, I met him at the bus stop this morning. Yes, he drove him out to the house and he failed to recognize me. I know all that. Oh, but Mr. Fletcher did recognize you, Ardeth. What? Yes, I showed him a photograph. He identified you as Hanson's girlfriend. Well, that's ridiculous. He was quite positive. But at the house a little while ago, he said... Oh, yeah, that wasn't Mr. Fletcher. What? Well, not the real Mr. Fletcher. The man you saw was a chap I'd paid to pose as Mr. Fletcher. I told him it was a sort of a joke. Oh, I see. I thought it best to keep the real Mr. Fletcher under cover for your sake. That was very thoughtful of you, Lenny. But you needn't have bothered. Are you going to tell me he was mistaken? Of course. I don't think so. This photograph is a very good likeness of your Ardeth. Here, save yourself. Where'd you get this snapshot? Oh, I've been carrying it around in my wallet. It was taken about six months ago. Listen to me, Lenny. This man Fletcher is wrong. He's mistaken me for someone else.  I have nothing to do with Jeff's death. I don't care. I don't care when we're the other. What? I'm not sorry, Jeff's dead. Not sorry at all. There were times when I think I could have killed him myself. I knew you didn't get along, but... Get along? I hated him. Why, Lenny? Because I fell in love with you and you belong to him. Is... Is that why you did this? About Mr. Fletcher, I mean? That's why. He's mistaken about me, you know. I swear. Okay, so he's mistaken. I told you I don't care when we're the other. You... You do believe me, don't you? Sure, Ardeth. I believe him. And I don't think the Titans want it. They'd rather take his word than mine. And if the real Fletcher should happen to talk to them... Oh, don't worry about him. He won't talk to anyone. Cash settlement works wonders. Are you sure? Positive. I've made all the arrangements. Jim tells me you're going to leave us. Yes, yes, that's right. I thought I'd visit some friends in San Francisco and perhaps Honolulu. I just want to get away, forget. Sure. I've been thinking of getting away from here myself. Go abroad. Travel. It'd be sort of fun if we could do it together. Don't you think? Yes. Yes, yes, it would. I'm not such a bad company, really. Of course you're not. Why are you going in the boathouse? Oh, we can talk better in here. Come on. You're safe with me. I'm sure I am, and...  You know I do. Enough to marry me? Marry you, Lenny? Yeah, someday soon. Well, I'd like some time to think about it. After all, you're five years younger than I am. Oh, so what? That's happened before? But I understand you're wanting to think about it. Why don't you come down to San Francisco in a few days? We could meet there, talk it over. Let me go with you now, Ardeth. No, Lenny. I'd rather you didn't. I want time to think. But, Ardeth... We'll meet Friday. That's only day after tomorrow. Well? No, Ardeth. I'm as tired of this place as you are. I want to go with you.  Yes, but... I'm going with you. Oh, you don't have to decide about marrying me right away. Lenny, listen to me a minute. I've got an important appointment in town at four o'clock, Ardeth. But I'll be back in a couple of hours. This four o'clock appointment won't take long. I've already packed my traveling bag. Please, Lenny... You'd better do it my way, Ardeth. It's safer. All right, Lenny. I guess it is. There isn't room in your plans for Lenny as the Ardeth. And you realize you've got to move quickly. Get him out of the way now. All you need is a few hours' head start. As he turns, starts for the door. Your eyes fall on the open tool chest nearby. In a split second, you'll reach down, pick up a hammer, and impulsively throw it at him. Lenny! Lenny! He's dead. Isn't he, Ardeth? Yes. In a moment of blind panic, you've killed him. You stand there staring down at him, unable to move or to think clearly. Finally, you take the key to the boathouse from Lenny's pocket and manage to reach the door. You step outside and lock the boathouse door behind you. Put Lenny's key in your purse. I've got to get away. I've got to get away.  You're certain no one will go near there the rest of the day, and there's a good chance a couple of days may go by before the body is discovered. You've decided to hide for a few weeks at the home of a girlfriend in Mexico. All you need is a few hours' start. Yes? Jim, may I see you a minute? Come in. Well, so you're really going, huh? I thought I made that quite clear to you before. Well, yes, but I... You wondered if perhaps I might have changed my mind. No chance of that. Well, what do you want to see me about? It's Mother. She'd like to talk with you. More apologies. Well, if you'll just look in on her right... Later, if I feel like it. Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to finish my packing. All right. Uh, you want me to drive you to the station? Well, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd like you to drive me over to Milldale. I can catch a train there for Seattle. Sure, sure. Just as soon as Freddie comes back with a car, he's still in the village. Well, the convertible's out front. Why can't you take that? Well, Lenny's got the keys, and I don't know where he is. Oh. The last time I saw him, he was with you, walking along the seawall. Yes, but that was quite some time ago. I could hunt him up if you want. He might be at the boat house, fooling with the entrance. Oh, no, no, no bother. I'll wait till Freddie comes back. A sudden thought occurred to you, didn't it, Harvey? And it helps to calm you. Yes, there are only two keys to the boat house. One of them belongs to Lenny. His key is in your purse. The other key is in Jim's possession, and he's going to drive you to Mildale. Now you're almost certain of a 24-hour start before Lenny is found. As you wait, you become more and more confident that you'll get away safely.  You pick up your suitcase and hurry downstairs. For the rest of the luggage, artist? No, I'm taking this one suitcase with me. I'll send for the rest of my things later. All right. Would you stop in and see Mother? No. But, artist, I think... I'd rather not. Okay. You say goodbye to her for me. And to Carla, of course.  Oh, yes, by all means. Leasiness, are you? You think you'll be able to bear up under it? Well, it's a shattering blow, but I imagine I'll recover. Now, give me the car keys, Freddie. I'm driving, artist, to the train. Well, I'd be glad to oblige... If you don't mind, I'd rather Jim drove. What's the matter, artist? Are you afraid I'd practice more of my psychological warfare? Freddie. Sorry, Jim. Here are the keys. And, by voyage to you, artist, do drop us a postcard sometime, hmm? Of course. Are you ready, Jim? All right, let's go. A man, they say, is only as old as he feels. But a car's engine, usually, is as old as the motor oil makes it feel. Here's what I mean. Many motor oils break down, causing motors to lose power, become oil eaters, and need expensive overhauls long before they should. That's why, if you want to be sure that unnecessary wear isn't shortening your engine's life, you'll be wise to make your spring oil change, a change to signal's amazing new premium motor oil that reduces engine wear due to lubrication, 50%. Because it's a heavy-duty type oil, new signal premium does much more than just lubricate. In addition, it stops acid corrosion and rust, controls harmful engine deposits, keeps oil rings clean and free, keeps hydraulic valve lifters from sticking. And note this. All this extra protection is yours at no increase in price in signal premium. No wonder more and more drivers today are getting their oil changed at those friendly, independently operated stations, which feature the famous gasoline that helps you go farther at signal service stations. Why don't you? You look around for the last time, Artie, Clayton Hall, and now you're about to leave it. In another half hour, you'll be aboard the train headed north.  Yes, when Lenny's body is found, they'll be looking for you in Seattle, but you'll be safely across the border into Mexico. Now as you step forward and Jim is about to open the front door. Oh. Well, I wonder who this is. Yes. This is the Clayton resident. Yes, that's right. I'm looking for Mr. Lenny Clayton. Well, he isn't here at the moment. I'm his brother. Is there anything I can possibly... I was asked to come here to identify a woman. Your brother met me at the bus station, showed me a picture of this lady right here. No. Wait a minute. Who are you? My name's Fletcher. Fletcher? Just a minute, Ardeth. Let me go. Not until I get to the bottom of this. Look, Mr. Fletcher, you say my brother showed you a photograph of this woman here. Yeah, I recognized her right away. She was Joe Hanson's girlfriend. That's not true. Please, lady, I've served the two of you drinks often. Go on, Fletcher. Well, when I told your brother this lady was Hanson's girlfriend, he thanked me and told me he'd bring me a thousand dollars this afternoon. We made an appointment in town for four o'clock. Lenny's four o'clock appointment was to pay you? Yeah. I waited for half an hour and when your brother didn't show, I came out here. I see. Well, you'll get your money, Mr. Fletcher. I'll have it for you tomorrow. Are you certain this lady was a friend of Hanson's? Of course. He used to bring her to my cafe two or three times a week. All right. Suppose I did know Joe Hanson. That doesn't prove I killed Jeff? No, it doesn't. But I think it will be more than enough to justify the police detaining you for further investigation. I think I'll be running along now, Mr. Clayton.  That's quite all right. Lenny's pretty absent-minded. Probably forgot about it. Last time I saw him, he was working toward the boathouse with Ardeth. Maybe he's still there. Let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program The Whistler each Sunday night at the same time. Meantime, signal oil company and the friendly independent dealers who help you go farther with signal gasoline hope you'll remember, regardless of what gasoline you use, you'll enjoy more miles of happy driving if you drive at sensible speeds, obey traffic regulations and avoid taking chances. When you take a chance to save a moment, you take a chance on that moment being your last. Featured in tonight's story were Bill Foreman, Joe Gilbert, Bill Conrad, Ted Osborne, DJ Thompson and Gray Stafford. The Whistler was produced and directed by George W. Allen with story by Steve Hampton, music by Wilbur Hatch and was transmitted to our troops overseas by the Armed Forces Radio Service. The Whistler is entirely fictional and all characters portrayed on the Whistler are also fictional. Any similarity of names or resemblance to persons living or dead is purely coincidental. Remember to tune in at the same time next Sunday when the signal oil company will bring you another strange story by the Whistler. Marvin Miller speaking for the Signal Oil Company. Stay tuned now for our Miss Brooke starring Eve Arden which follows immediately over most of these stations. This is CBS The Columbia Broadcasting System.


Hello, my name is Geoff Watts and welcome to Agile Esop, Leadership Fables, where I take the famous fables of Esop and apply them to today's Agile Leadership Challenges. Today's story is called The Ant and the Grasshopper and if you're sitting comfortably, I'll begin. Once upon a time in a gorgeous green grassland in the English countryside lived a grasshopper called Graham. Graham was a happy grasshopper and was incredibly popular in the insect community because he loved to sing and dance. He'd even formed a band called the Arthropods and they played almost continuously. Their music was equal parts entrancing and entertaining and they enjoyed performing almost as much as the other insects enjoyed listening to them. As spring turned to summer, Graham realized he particularly enjoyed performing in the warm with the sun beating down. It certainly beats scrabbling around for food like some of the other insects were doing. Graham didn't understand why they were so bothered collecting food because there was so much around to eat. Adam the Ant was particularly diligent in his food collection even in those summer months and even though he tried to convince Graham to store up some food for the winter, Graham preferred instead to sing and dance. Adam worried about Graham but assumed he had his own plan and focused instead on collecting enough food to see him through the winter. As the summer months began to wind down, Adam saw that Graham was still singing and dancing, enjoying himself. Of course, eventually the weather turned and suddenly there wasn't much food around and things turned cold. Graham realized that he was going to go hungry but he was too late to find food for the winter now. In desperation, Graham went to see Adam the Ant to ask if he could spare some food and although Adam felt sorry for Graham, he didn't have enough food to feed them both through the winter. So, over the course of the winter, sadly Graham went hungry while Adam was able to survive comfortably thanks to his hard work over the summer months. Graham made a vow that next year he would continue to enjoy singing but he would set aside a lot more time to prepare for the winter. The end. We might consider the chores of our role. Everyone's got aspects of their job that they enjoy more than others and it's really easy for us to focus on the bits of our role that we find the most enjoyable and in the short term we probably don't really see or feel any real consequences from procrastinating and putting off our responsibilities and obligations. But what we're really doing is we're storing up problems for the winter. For example, we might find ourselves focusing more on the day-to-day hands-on aspects of our leadership role. You know, find ourselves stuck in lots of really urgent, very important meetings, making lots of decisions, fighting fires as opposed to walking the floor and talking to the people who are actually doing the work and listening to what's actually going on. Very easy to do especially if we enjoy fighting fires. Agile leaders really need to be constantly inspecting and adapting, not just what they're doing but what their team's doing, what's going on in the wider organisation and what's going on in the wider market and industry that we're operating in. And reflecting on what's going on and what we're doing and how it's working just isn't really as exciting as doing things now. The immediate gratification of tackling a problem right now is so enticing and actually stopping, taking time out to reflect, think, listen, talk feels like doing nothing when actually it's the equivalent of stop piling our seeds for the future. Agile leaders are constantly reflecting not only because it increases their effectiveness but also because they realise they're acting as role models for the people in their organisation. To create an agile organisation, we're looking to create people who are resilient, reflective, proactive, self-managing and so demonstrating some of those behaviours ourselves as leaders is going to increase the chances of those behaviours being copied within the culture. Agile leaders will be constantly encouraging, coaching, mentoring and tweaking the organisation based on how the circumstances are evolving in the complex environment that they're operating within. Think of the seeds from our story as capabilities of our people. In order for us to be responsive, to be resilient, to be able to cope with the changing circumstances of the future, we need to develop the confidence, the experience, the resilience, the proactiveness of our people. And every time we solve something straight away, we're undermining our people's ability to do things themselves. And when things are changing constantly, as a leader we can't always be there, we can't be the ones constantly making the decisions. And quite often the more complex the environment, the lower the chance there is of us actually having the answer anyway. Another way of thinking about our seeds from our story is as tokens of goodwill, a certain degree of credit that people will give us, the benefit of the doubt if you like. Quite often leaders will spend that goodwill, quite frivolously, quite early on in their leadership. And when it comes to the winter from our analogy, they don't have enough goodwill left to spend to help people get through those challenging times or those tough times. And our goodwill often comes from doing the parts of our leadership role that perhaps don't get the headlines. It's not about making fancy pronouncements or grand gestures. It's doing the little things. It's speaking to people, listening to people, letting people know that we're going in the right direction. Because our leaders are going to be operating in circumstances with higher volatility, volatility brings anxiety. And when people are anxious, we need more of what we might call the basics of leadership, the fundamentals. Again, not those parts of the role that grab the headlines, but the fundamentals. But when we're operating in times of complexity and volatility, we find ourselves much easier drawn to the grand gestures, the firefighting, the immediate problems that need resolving those urgent meetings. And what people really need is some confidence, some reassurance, some listening to. If you think back to our story, those summer months where Graham was singing and dancing and enjoying himself, those are the times when things are going well, when anxiety is low, the sun is beating down, there's plenty of food around, there's little stress. And those are the times when it's really tempting to indulge ourselves in the bits of our role that we really enjoy, because we don't really see the need for the chores. But those are exactly the times when we should be topping up our tokens of good will, where we should be investing our time and developing our people. Because when the winter comes, that's when we'll need it. So I'm going to invite you to think about what aspects of your role as a leader, you might be putting off procrastinating, maybe subconsciously. And in the short term, you're not really seeing the consequences of, but in the long term, you may be storing up problems. And I challenge you to take some action on some of those chores, to build some of them into your weekly timetable, get back to the basics of leadership, start looking at building up that aspect of good will, and the capabilities of your people, to cope with the uncertainties and the complexities of the future. I hope you've enjoyed this first episode of Agile Esop Leadership Fables, and I look forward to you tuning in to the next episode.


Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with John Sebastian Lavallee. How are you today? I'm very good. I'd like to start by congratulating you. Your stock is literally flying ever since you announced the news of this new strategic partner. Can you tell our audience more about this? So this agreement with the strategic partner is a game changer for critical alignment because we have three main points in this agreement. First is technical support, where the partner will help us to develop all the feasibility study and the project from beginning to the production. So this is very important in that chemical area because you need this expertise. The second point, we have an agreement that included take or pay off-take agreement for all the material produced by the mine. No other lithium or any rare earth or graphite company have this kind of strong agreement and just show how strong is our partner because a take or pay deal is a run tease that they will pay for the material if they don't take it. So they will take it or they will pay for it, so it's very important. And the third point and major point of the agreement, they have an option to participate for the project financing. So the investor always asking how you will finance this project. We now have a partner that can help to finance a project. Okay, so if I understand correctly, this is, if you ask me, is quite large news and helps support why your stock is moving so rapidly. You have a partner that is basically an end user for you as well. And of course, anyone who's read the news release knows that you've not revealed who that partner is yet. So it must be a large partner because they can help you with the financing or participate. Is that correct? Yeah, the agreements show how large is the partner. We can say who is a partner, but it's a leading chemical company that is based all around the world with strong financial. So yes, it's a major step for us.  Can you tell us a little bit more and give our audience an overview on who is critical Elements Corporation? Critical Elements is an emerging company and we are developing a lithium-tentland deposit based north of Quebec in James Bay. And we will produce different product. This is something that attracts our partner because we will produce lithium spodumene for the glass industry. We will produce lithium carbonate for the battery market and we'll produce tantalum for the capacitor market. So it's a three different segment and at the risk, the project for future demand. So if the market for battery is just slowing down, we can go more on the ceramic market. Plus, we have the byproduct of tantalum that is very attractive for different end users. So I agree with you, we've seen the kind of audience response we're getting to both tantalum and lithium stories presently. So with regards to the strategic partner, they're going to help you take, like in the short term, take you to the feasibility study. Is that correct? Can you give us a bit of a short term plan of action? In short term, the partner will help us to build a very strong feasibility study with all the technical support from them. They will come in Quebec, they will help our team to be sure that this project will work well and will deliver the material on time, like without any delay in future. So they will help us to go to direct to production. Okay, and best case, since it sounds to me like they're also going to help facilitate additional offtake agreements for you, when will you be in production? Best case scenario? I will say, I love company, the big promise in the last five, six years on lithium. We learned a lot about all the mistakes made by the other company. We travel all around the world. We met all the battery manufacturers, lots of chemical company. And we think in Canada, we're very good to build a floatation plan to produce concentrate. Chemical is a big challenge. This is why we attract a large partner to build the chemical. But chemical plan, it's not because we can build that, but it takes time. So we don't want over-promise on this part, but we think we can be able to produce concentrate for the glass market in Tentlon by 30 to 36 months. And we'll have to add another 12 to 20 months after that production to produce lithium carbonate. So by four years, four years and a half, we will be able to produce lithium carbonate, full production. Well, and that's an interesting timeline. I have my analysts are all sending me emails about what they anticipate is happening with the lithium market. So why don't I just ask you, because I'm certain you're fully engrossed in this topic. So number one, where is lithium going and what kind of demand should we be seeing, say, in the next five years? Well, if we look at the last two years, the demand increased by 10 to 20% per year. So if we look at the forecast, we think by 2020, the market will need another 80 to 100,000 tons by 20. And when we look at the market, there is no new producer that will come into production before 20. I can challenge any company that will say that they will be in production within two years, it take four to five years to ramp up a chemical plant. So we think by 20, there will be a big disrupt in the market and the price will fly. But really, we think we are right on timing to catch this market by 20. And speaking of catching the market, critical elements is the name, it's kind of a dark horse that maybe I would argue not as many people should know about as perhaps they should. What should shareholders looking to get involved anticipate, say, over the next quarter or two? But there will be completion of the physical study, there will be completion of the EIS, the permitting. So all this should be completed by 12 months and followed by project financing with our partner and construction. So it will be exciting time in the coming months. Well, I'd like to thank you for joining us today. Thank you, it was a pleasure.


My name is Marlon Bates. I'm a horticulture specialist with University of Missouri Extension. I applied for the SAIR Sustainable Ag Fellowship largely because I read the reviews from previous fellows. It certainly looked like an awesome opportunity. Of all the professional development opportunities that come across my desk, the SAIR Sustainable Ag Fellowship looked like it was going to have a lot of promise in terms of educating me about sustainable agriculture, not just in my region or even within my own discipline, but many disciplines within agriculture across the country. What I've gotten out of the SAIR Sustainable Ag Fellowship is a lot more than I ever expected. Certainly I've gained a better understanding of what sustainable agriculture is. And that's come, you know, of course because of the tours that we take and the farms that we visit when we're on those tours, but also from the conversation that we have as we're kind of going over our tour stops. So we'll get back on the bus from a tour stop and really drill down to what were those things at that operation that made this place sustainable or what were some of the things that they could be doing that would make them a little bit more sustainable. And I think that's really where I've gained a better appreciation, a broader perspective of what sustainable ag is. Another thing that I've really gotten out of the Sustainable Ag Fellowship is the opportunity to see first hand a lot of different operations. It was a horticulture specialist. I don't really spend much time in a corn field or a bean field or at a dairy or other cattle operation, but this fellowship really allowed me to be in those places. And it didn't just allow me to see what was going on there. It allowed me the opportunity to engage with that producer.  So a dairy specialist at the dairy, I can watch that dairy specialist interact and engage that producer. And that was another thing that I really took away from this opportunity was just watching that and gaining that other perspective from, you know, disciplines outside of horticulture. So that's another thing I really feel like I took a lot out of, not just being able to see this stuff or talk to the farmers that are at the farms that we're visiting, but also just watching my colleagues, colleagues from across the country who I didn't know before, but now I'm good friends with and watch how they engage a producer when they're talking about their operation or talking about sustainability. And the final thing I think I took away from the Sustainable Ag Fellowship was just the experience. You know, I can't remember how many times since I started the fellowship that I've been standing in a producer's field, and I'm directly recalling something from a visit that we had in Maryland or the farm that we visited in Colorado. And I'm able to use that information to help that producer, my client. And without this fellowship, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to do that.


Russell Wilson responded to Eli Manning when Eli Manning told me that the cordless waitman, the punter, should have got the $235 million deal in Denver there on Monday night Manning. He was obviously saying it as a joke at the time. People took that quote, put it down on memes and let it run on the internet. So out of context, a lot of people, a lot of people say, real rich from Eli Manning to talk about Russell Wilson.  I thought it was a great line. In the moment, it was a great line. It was great deliverable. But people have obviously taken it completely out of context. Russell Wilson actually had to talk about it. This is how Russell Wilson handled it. And although Russell Wilson's ball f***ing stinks, this answer from Russell Wilson, maybe my top two press conference moment from Russell Wilson. Love it. Do you want to chat powers? Yeah, you know, chat powers, you know, I'm 3 in August chat powers.


Gold. Gold contract up $17.70, trading at $18.71 an ounce. We have silver up $0.38, $22.10 an ounce, light sweet crude, flat, $110.28 a barrel of notes and bonds. The 10-year note, trading up $25 ticks at $1.2011, 30-year up a point and a half, at $1.41 and $27, a King dollar. $366, trading at $101.770, Euro 109, yen 126.88 and a British pound at $125 to $1 U.S. dollar. When we take a look at the S&P folks, bottom line is that you made a run for lows, you don't have enough energy to blow these out. We hit $386, you closed at $393, that's telling me that in the next couple of days you can get a bounce. So we'll see where this bounce goes. We got Wednesday, Thursday and Friday before the long weekend but that's how this is setting up right now. That's in the spy. NDX100 looks to me like the same type of setup. The bottom line inside the NDX is that the queues get down to $282, you closed at $287, you had volume out here of $68 million, well the $68 million was going to Fridays of $91, which is going into the 12th of $120. So watch, you have $120 the first low, $91 the next low, $68 today. That's showing that you don't have enough sellers to push this lower. You can't push it lower, guess what, you're going to push it higher. So it's game out here, I suspect $306 is game inside the queues, gold. Gold contract wants higher price, bottom line, what do you have inside the gold market, you had the price spread out here today, you're trading at $1871, your next swing point inside the gold market out here, we can expect some flack as it approximately $1920, $1920, $50 from here. That's ice, that's where ice gets set up. And if we go look at the dollar, the dollar is the one that of course is helping the metal markets along in general, and what you have with the dollar is that the dollar is down to 301 ticks, trading $101.75, and there's no support at all for the dollar right now to $101.02. So that's another, what 700 ticks on the way down to get a little support, the real support lays down at 99, so I expect we're going to get to 99 pretty quick, then you can slow down a bit. Have a great night folks, have a safe night, come back and visit Tommy tomorrow, kicks us off at 9 o'clock in the morning, great show. Have a great one folks, have a safe one.


In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to send Ohio Link items to other libraries. This comes in really useful when you are away from Athens for an extended period of time. For example, if you are in Cleveland for the summer for an internship and you need some research materials, you can easily send these items to a library closest to you instead of traveling all the way down to Athens to pick them up. Once you find the item you need, click on the green request button.  Type in your Ohio ID and password. Then you will need to change the pickup institution to one that is closer to you. Cleveland State, for example, may be the institution that is closest to you. Click on the green submit button. Just remember that you need to bring your Ohio University ID card in order to pick up your item.


Our team is very happy to be here to conduct the pilot operation, can do it, especially here in Georgia. The cooperation with local authorities including National Central Bureau of Georgia, including patrol police, including tax and customs and the other relevant bodies here is on the very, very high and professional level. During the days of operation we conduct different searches, including detection of radioactive nuclear materials, including working with databases of passengers and including the databases of interpol which are communicated through IBM TF support. Of course at the same time we are doing a lot of work in the field of testing of facial recognition system, again which is very first time for interpol to use it in the real-time operations, but for testing purposes only. We have a lot of outcome from our two days of operation here and hopefully we will move with these kind of projects, with these kind of operations to the other countries to increase the level of international cooperation, cooperation with interpol and connection with interpol databases in order to prevent illegal activities in that particular fields.


Glenda Cleveland wasn't Jeffrey's neighbor. Glass claimed the storyline regarding Dahmer's neighbor Glenda Cleveland on the show was also made up. Cleveland is featured in the series as Dahmer's next door neighbor in the Oxford apartments, and she has multiple disturbing interactions with him. Cleveland complains to the police several times about a bad odor emerging from Dahmer's residence, but her calls are ignored because she's black. Cleveland, in actuality, resided in a separate building and never met Dahmer. That didn't happen, glass said of Cleveland's portrayal, adding that a neighbor noted a stench but didn't complain. Cleveland, on the other hand, made multiple attempts to warn local authorities and the FBI about Dahmer's behavior when her niece bumped across one of his victims, Conor Axe and Thassenthone, while attempting to flee his apartment complex.


Every single week we do the great search for DigiKey where Aida Fruit shows you, specifically Lady Aida, how to find the things you're looking for on DigiKey. So this week, Lady Aida is 74 Series Logic, which I think should get a little bit more love because 74 Series Logic was invented in the 60s and 70s before many of us were born or doing electronics. But it's still really useful. It's like inexpensive, low power. It just works. You don't have to program it. There's no CPLD debugging or like FPGA hacking. It's just like it's 10 cents. You put it in. It does the job. It does it fast. It does it right. It's reliable. Love it. It comes in like all sorts of flavors, you know, like Bath and Rob. It's 5,000 flavors. So in this case, I'm looking for a three-input NOR gate, which will take these three inputs. And then, you know, when the buttons are held down and the reset signal is low, all three things are low. It'll turn the output to be high. And then that will turn on this transistor, pull down my boot zero pin, and that will put me into bootloader mode when we start up, I think. We'll build a prototype, but I'm pretty sure this will work.  So, you know, there's a lot of good tutorials online if you don't know your NORs and your NANDs and your XORs, because you can get like every kind of logic you could possibly want, including counters. But once you know what it is, you're probably like, well, you know, what kinds of logic can I get? And like kind of there's dozens. What's interesting is there's actually like a logic to it. The logic is the logic in this Wikipedia article. Because I was wondering, like, is there any logic to the numbering and the naming? Because I kind of never thought there was. It turns out there is. You can use this table to see the different inputs. You can have quad two inputs. So you have like four gates, two inputs each. You can have triple three inputs. So three inputs with three gates. So you can do like more complicated combos with one chip. Schmidt trigger input versions, open collector versions. What's interesting is for the NOR gate. Remember, I said I wanted to have an open collector because I don't want it to. I wanted to be able to pull high and then like mess with the chip. You know, I wanted to be able to pull it down if I needed to while programming it in the factory. So the NOR gate triple input open collector doesn't seem to exist. Sorry. Yeah, the triple three input. Not every combination will exist, but there are all these different versions. Now, when I'm buying 74 logic, though, I will, I will not actually look at this table. I'll just kind of know how many gates I need. I'm like, oh, I need like five inverter gates. I need six buffers or eight, you know, switching bus transceiver, whatever. And then I'll actually just search on Digikey and find the part number just because I will not be able to memorize this table. And also I'm going to be looking at the package, not necessarily how many pins there are. Like there are sometimes when I will use a chip that has more logic gates than I need because the package is in a convenient shape and size that will that will work well. There's also different families. So there's the part number, right? Like how many gates and how many inputs and is it open collector and is it NAND or a nor what combo it is. And there's also the family of chips. So originally, the family of all these chips was bipolar logic, which was easy. It's simple to manufacture in large quantities in 60s and 70s. And they had, you know, I think I see 74 LS sometimes once in a while. But in general, you don't see people using the bipolar logic. It sometimes if you need like really high voltages, maybe you would use it. But I only see this in old equipment. People don't really use bipolar anymore. Why? Because CMOS is much faster and lower power. And with the really good ESD protection we have these days, you don't have to worry about like smashing your logic chips with a little bit of ESD. That's it pretty much doesn't happen anymore. Like we're, unless you're like one of those really staticky people, just take some reasonable care and you're probably good to go. So that said, I have seen like a real wide variety. So there are some cool ones like 74LV series. So these are five volt tolerant inputs. So I really like these as level shifting because you can have three or five volt input, but then the outputs are three volt logic. There's also, you know, low voltage ones. There's ones that go down to 1.6 volts, two volts. There's high speed, you know, different tolerances. There's ones that like are, you know, compatible logic level. I don't know. So I use like 74HC and 74HCT kind of the most. The T is kind of nice. It's transistor level logic, which means you can have very low logic levels and it will trigger. It doesn't trigger at halfway through the VCC point. It triggers like a volt or so, closer to bipolar logic, you know, gate threshold voltages. So which one to use? I mean, sometimes you don't have a choice. Like I'll show you for this particular chip, there was really only one family, but then you might want to look up the family to verify that this is good. You have the logic level you need and the speeds you need. For the most part, you know, you don't, you know, unless you really need something that's a specifically low voltage or specifically, you know, high voltage or specific speed, you can kind of go with almost anything. But when you need something specific, you know, go here and check it out. Also, these are kind of cool. There's the high output current ones. These are kind of cool because you can like drive LEDs directly from them. All right. And there was a whole segment for logic gates. But like I said, when I was looking for this Norgate, I didn't like figure out the part number. Like I didn't look in the panel and say like, oh, it's a 74 blah, blah, blah, 125. I just like typed in what I was looking for. And then I used the search boxes to narrow down what I was looking for. So in this case, I just looked for Norgate, which is super great. And then there's a couple of like kits. And of course, there was, you know, gates and inverters multifunctional configurable. So it's like a CPLD or sometimes there's like little mini logic chips that you can configure. Those are going to be more expensive and complicated. We're going to go with just the plain gates and inverters. Let's go with active ones and normally stocking just so we can look at what's normal. So yeah, you can see there's this like 74 LS, HCT, AUP, AXP, HCU, LCX, VHC, who knows, tons. But let's just go for what I want to do, which is a three input Norgate. So I want one circuit, although I might do two just because like sometimes you can get them in like dual and it's cheaper or easier to get that package. I want three inputs on the Norgate. And you see there's only 13 available. Like when you're looking for a very specific thing like that, there's not going to be hundreds and hundreds of options. So then mostly it's about the package. And what I really like about 74 Logic is they have this. And this is why, by the way, I never type in like 74 HCT 125 or whatever. Even if I kind of know the number, if you want to type in like 74 and then, you know, 127, like you want, like there's no way to put in a star to match any of the families. And there are so many families and that one might be in stock that is close enough to what you need that you can use it because again, some might be a little bit faster, maybe have a wider voltage input. But for your use case, they could be compatible. So when you're searching just like unless you really need just the HCT, then put that in. Otherwise I would go here and then find the one that matches what you need and then look at the family. Like what's your what's your power supply range, for example. So, right. So let's look at package case. So I don't want, I kind of want like a SOP323 or maybe an SC74 or SOP236. I don't want an XDF and these are like really tiny chips. I want something easy to pick in place. All right. So that gets rid of like half of them. And then you can look and you can see that there's actually they're all kind of named the same thing. Like I said, 74LVC, 1G27. The 1G, I think stands for like one gate. It's like you get a chip with one gate in it. And like honestly, oftentimes you just need one gate. Sometimes, you know, I'll have a buffer chip. And just I need one pin to be buffered because it's supposed to be tri-state. It's not, you can make it into a tri-state with like a selectable buffer. So in this case, these are all going to be pretty much the same because they're all the 74 logic. And they've got like 27 is the part number. This is the only one out. This onSemi uses a different, I don't know why they call it something different. But what's nice is that they're all, these are all generic and there's lots of them in stock. So you can kind of pick any of them. I think in the end I went with the next period one. And it's just a TSOP, you know, SOIC, sorry, not SOIC, SOT 236 shaped basically. And they're like 10 cents. And like this could really solve my problem. Very, very simple. And then you can see the series over here. You can see in this case, you can only get LVC for this chip. And LVC, let's go here. LVC is low voltage and 5 volt tolerant inputs. I mean, that's perfectly great. I'm using everything at 3 volt logic. If it's tolerant, good, goodie for you, right? But I don't, I don't really care. And it's plenty fast. And it's small and easy to place in my design. So here is the chip right here. Nice, small.  And it's very simple. It's got six pins, three inputs, one output, power and ground. And that's the story. Very easy. So we're going to try this out. I'm going to see if this hack works. I hope so because I really want to avoid putting a button onto this PCB design. All right. That's a great search this week.


This paper proposes a new bivariate lifetime distribution called the BFGM PLX, which is based on the Farley-Gumbel Morgenstern, FGM, Copula and Univariate Power Lomax distribution. This distribution has several desirable features, including conditional distributions, conditional expectations, marginal distributions, moment generating functions, product moments, positive quadrant dependence property, and Pearson's correlation. Furthermore, the reliability measures, such as the survival function, hazard rate function, mean residual life function, and vitality function, are also discussed. The parameters of the model can be estimated using maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods. Monte Carlo simulations are used to compare the performance of the two estimation methods.

Given the video I released a couple of days ago about big companies starting to monopolise the sport This is what it's all about right here This is grassroots running in the pouring rain on a Sunday morning Supporting the kids in their race and we're going to be doing the steep down challenge here part of the fun run league Any minute now about half an hour after these guys have finished Don't get caught Alice don't get caught. Good effort mate. Good effort Well done Don't find them very comfortable, but I think because it's wet today The mud claws have come out there. They're really they've got no cushioning at all But they've got big deep fat lugs which will help with the mud So welcome to film my run for the steep down challenge. It's only about four Maybe five miles. It's basically all the way up a hill and all the way back down again Started ridiculously quickly or we weren't paying attention We weren't paying attention The first kilometer done of the steep down challenge heart rate. Oh, I don't know what my heart rate is 455 for the first kilometer heart rate 157 and you 549 for kilometer two Heart rate 159 and we are climbing And of course up with the lazy Charles Henry just because the video's on So it's called the steep down challenge because This is steep downhill And we're climbing it now 439 for kilometer three Heart rate 167. All right, so James Baker lead runner guys Right, this is turnaround point 3.7k in Shorter on the way back down 544 for that kilometer Kilometer four done About three and a half to go. I'd say heart rate is 164 now coming down the hill 5k in four minutes 14 seconds 25 minutes total so far heart rate 163 That's wording over there guys Appreciate it. Thank you Half an hour done Kilometer 16441 heart rate 167 They may just go back up a hill just gone over on the chalk so These mud claws are good in the mud terrible in the chalk kilometer 7407 for that kilometer heart rate 165 all downhill now 3651 Good patch Well done boys That was very quiet Christian Mitchell so much When I caught up to Charles Um, he was walking when I turned the camera on what did you do? He started running As soon as I turned the camera off, what did you do? I get stage fright I started walking again, didn't he? Unbelievable Unbelievable I am now, yeah Now you've finished Right, that is it for another fun run league west Sussex fun run league event here It's the steep down challenge in Lansing that was nearer five miles than four miles But uh, it was great fun in the wind and the rain and the sunshine as well. It's lovely I've no idea what position I came. I did about 36 minutes in all but who really cares It's just about enjoying yourself. It's just about grass roots running and supporting your local races Until next time we'll see you on the start line. Bye. Bye


Hey there friends, thanks for checking in at shot show and at the sig sour booth We're gonna bring fill in here shortly to talk about all their new offerings and handguns Especially this one right here. This is a sig p320 x5 with a tungsten polymer frame. It's really heavy duty I'm impressed by this as well as some of the other ones that he was showing me off camera Let's bring him in here and you can check it out Hey everyone Phil straighter here at shot show 2020 you're in the sig booth And we have got some awesome guns here to show you some are brand-new some have been out for a while and some Well, we'll go into that a little bit later first off. Let's talk about the red dot revolution That's what we're calling the ability to put a night sight or an optic check that an optic on any gun or almost every gun We make or having the optic already on the gun when you buy and these two are the perfect examples of that This is the brand-new 320 x compact rxp. This is our Romeo one pro Equipped x compact now. It has all the features of the old x compact with the flat trigger and the extended slide catch lever Grip module everything on it But we took away the rear sight plate assembly and we actually dovetailed in a pair of front and rear x-ray 3 suppressor height sight so that helps you co-witness with the Romeo one pro now This is an aluminum housing improved electronics. It comes with a six MOA dot on the gun But you can get it in the three MOA data as an accessory So if you have an optic ready gun already like an M 18 and 17 x 5 x 5 Legion whatever you can put this optic on your gun Right out of the box with a three or six MOA now If you want to go even smaller than the x compact and keep that red dot revolution going check this guy out This is the 365 XL and it's equipped with the Romeo zero now You can obviously put this optic on your 365 XL aftermarket You're going to be able to get it set up just like this with the Romeo zero in place Set up with your little rear sight here. So it's if you look at the back of the site It's actually got a rear sight notch in the back So you can actually co-witness with this standard x-ray three night sight front if you have to if for some reason You need it and the dot goes out, but let's talk about that. How long is this dot to go out? It's about ten thousand or more hours. That's a long time and it's adjustable for intensity These also come in three and six MOA dots when you get it on the gun Included on the gun. It's going to come into three MOA dot, but we didn't stop there.  That is you will not be able to snag this gun on anything It is impossible to do and that's made possible dropped by this guy right here the FT bullseye site What this site does is it helps? Give you a very clean and very obvious green dot surrounded by a green circle And when those are lined up you put it on your target like you would a red dot optic And that's what you're going to hit it also comes with a ported slide and barrel to keep the recoil down And of course flat controls on this side that are pretty much snag proof You can't catch them on anything this gun is very polarizing but oddly enough this has been our hottest seller as of late and I think it's because when you see this gun It catches you off-guard and I'm telling you you played with this thing shoot it a little bit You'll never look at sights the same way again. Let's move on to our biggest selling 320 and that is if I can lift it Up the table. There it is. This is the X5 Legion. This is 43 and a half ounces This feels like a steel gun and in fact Dan from the firearm guy was saying yeah, okay steel 320 Yeah, it's cool. Nope not steel. This is a tungsten infused Polymer grip module that means it has the weight of steel, but the flex of polymer So not only are you going to have the flat of shooting gun This is the softest shooting gun you're ever going to pick up in nine millimeter It is unbelievable to shoot and it has all the features of the X5 But it also comes with a lighter trigger a trigger breaks around three and a half to four pounds and We improve the guide rod a system this is one piece stainless steel guide rod and all you have to do to change this is You pop it out and you can put a 1911 spring on here so if you're shooting competition loads or Lighter ammunition or lighter pressure ammunition you can change to an 11 or 12 pound recoil spring and The gun will feel a lot better You can custom tune this as you see fit it comes with two springs in the box a 14 and a gun and a 12 in the box And of course what would shot show be without some brand new introductions and that's where these two guys come in This is the 320 X carry tack ops. You're going to see this gun a little bit later in the year You're going to be able to find it for around 800 to 830 bucks But what do you get with it? You get the same thing you do with all tack ops you get 421 round magazines You also get an extended magwell and of course tack ops wouldn't be tack ops without a threaded barrel But this is a little bit different. We've done something this gun We've never done before and we added adjustable night sights. That's right. These sights are suppressor height So you don't have offset from your suppressor But if you put on an older suppressor and your POI shifts you can adjust it right here You can adjust your point of impact by your elevation and your windage fully adjustable x-ray 3 night sight Pretty awesome. And of course it's removable so you can put a Romeo one pro right in the spot and with that suppressor height sight It's certainly co witness is a little bit better with that notch in the back of the optic and our bellow the ball this year is The never before seen 210 carry now. This is one of our most anticipated pistols We've ever had out here of two years ago People are asking for it when they made the 210 target and they said when are you going to make it in a carry gun? And this is it. This is an aluminum framed 4-inch P 210 we got front and rear serrations Siglight night sights and G10 grips now these if these look slick That's because they are but these are not going to be what we go to market We're probably going to see a lot more texture on the sides here but these were done in a hurry so we could show it to you here at the show you can expect to see this gun around mid June and expect to pay about 1,300 bucks for this and that is a deal if you know anything about 210 accuracy and 210 precision and 210 elegance that's a great price for one of the most sophisticated Gentleman's carry guns probably out there.

Welcome back to the channel. In the last video we started we were making an elemental widget that is custom and we are looking to make a donate button where people can enter an amount of money and that will automatically go to our payment gateway and make a clearing of that donation. So we've so far written different lines of code and now we want to initiate our widgets and our controls but that requires us to understand the concept of hooks. So what are hooks? Let me start from the WordPress hooks before we can actually go into the Elementa hooks. Now there are two types of hooks. We have what we call the add action or the do action hook and we also have the filter hooks. So we have the action hooks and we have the filter hooks. They have one difference even though they do almost the same amount of work. So let me start with the do action hook. So I'm going to get my current website and I'll open up its theme inside my editor. So right now I'm using the 2020 theme and I'll open up in the editor. We'll go to our index page. And inside our index page we have this main component. So what I'm going to do is add here an h1 tag and I'm going to say hello. So let's save this, come back and view our website and you'll see that we have a big hello showing up right here. Now let me make some changes.  That's a function of WordPress that's default and inside here I'm going to pass in a name of an action. So let's say we're going to call it take a press do action. It can be take a press shoes, take a press whatever it is that you want to call it. And this is the idea that we need for this particular action. So I'm going to save this. I'm going to come to our theme file right here. So I'm going to comment out starting this class that we have here so that we can use this file and I'm going to add an action. And what we're going to do in here is use our take a press do action and we're going to add now a function that will do what we want to do. So let's say we're going to say echo, echo header two and that's what we're going to do. So I'm going to copy this and then start up a new function. So go for function echo header two and in here I'm going to do this. I'm going to say echo terminate this and I'm going to add a header two which I'll close off as header two and I'll say this is our header two and I'll save this. So I'll come back and reload our front page. I'm going to check in our plugins to see if this is active and I'll activate our take a press element a widgets. I'll come back to our front page and I'm going to reload here and you'll see that this says this is our header two and if I inspect it you're going to see that we have h2 tags just like we had inside our code and that's how action hooks actually work. They create an event inside your code that you are allowed to tap in and do something before the next piece of code actually runs. So let's look at filter hooks. Now filter hooks are actually different with filter hooks they're going to allow us to actually change the content that is already existing. If we go to the WordPress codex you'll find that we have this function apply filters now it requires a string which is the tag or the ID of the filter that we want to work with and then we pass in the value whether it's a string an array of information or whatever value that it is that's why we have the mixed here showing us it can be a string, array, boolean now the way we apply filters is that we have a particular value that we want to get and we want to pass in something that is different for example we have a default function that equals titles inside our code here and the filter that is applied to that is actually called the title now inside our plugin here I'm going to add a filter hook and I'm going to look for the title and inside the title I'm going to add in a function which I'm going to call modify title and it can be any name this will help me make it very representative so let me add take a press to it to make it not conflict with anything so I'll have function take a press modify title and we are going to write our code here now what we are going to be getting here is actually the title so we are going to get a value here of something that is a title so this can be anything but title will make it easy for me and the first thing that I do is return that title but if I want to modify that title all I'm going to do is come here and say title is actually going to equal to hello title put a dash and then I'm going to append it to the current title so I've modified it by adding the word hello title dash to it so let me save this come back to our front page and I'll reload here and you'll see that all our titles are going to have hello dash title right here so even if I add another post come back in here add a new post and I'll say maybe this is new post and I'll publish that come back to our website you'll see that we have hello title new post hello title hello world so that's how filters work so the difference between action hooks and then filter hooks is that the action hooks make something new while the filter hooks just expand on what is or modify it or change it in any way so that's the way they do work that's how action and filter hooks actually work in WordPress so we can also set our own filter hooks so for example in here I had do action that was actually echoing out this header too but I might decide that I want people to be able to change what comes in here as the text for this so what I'm going to do here is actually apply filters so I'm going to first of all close off this wrap this also inside brackets and what I'm going to do here is apply filters that's the function we want to have and the first thing that I will do is add a tag so my tag is going to be take it press title that will be the tag and I'm going to add a comma so that we have our default text showing up here so this is what we're going to be modifying and I'll save it and let's come back and review our code right here on the front end and you're going to see that we still have this is our title if I was to come back to our code here copy this tag take it press title and just add it here so that this filter we have here is going to get the take it press title then modify it through this function meaning we're going to get what we have here pass it in as a variable through this and we're going to add hello title here so at the end of the day we're going to have something that says hello title and it's going to also pass in this value right here so let me save this come back to our front end let's reload this page and voila this is what we see right here so you can make your own filter hooks and you can also use the ones that are existing in WordPress or any other plugin for example Wukamas or Elementor as a plugin so that's the way action hooks and filter hooks actually work so that's a lot of power in our hands and that's the power we're going to use in the next video to see how we can actually add different things inside so let's create our plugin for the widget
