The Equitable Life Assurance Society presents This Is Your FBI. This Is Your FBI. The official broadcast from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Presented transcribed as a public service by the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community. The Equitable Life Assurance Society has nearly 8,000 trained representatives from coast to coast serving more than 4 million members. Tonight one of our Equitable Society representatives has a message on social security. Recent changes in the social security law mean a lot to a lot of people. Just about everybody has had his personal security plans changed by the new or increased benefits he's entitled to. Isn't this a good time to take stock of your family's financial future? If you agree, have a look at the Equitable Society's revised fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. It will help you get a clear picture of just where you and your family stand. In just about 14 minutes, Mr. Keating will tell you more about this chart and what it can do for you. Tonight, FBI file number 291. It's subject, Interstate Lottery. It's titled, The Baffle Bookkeeper. The program chosen for dramatization this evening from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation tells the story of two racketeers, two men who put crime on a business basis. They operated an interstate lottery, a racket which existed because people condoned it. As during the years of prohibition, they condoned the selling of whiskey, including policy and number slips. Millions of lottery tickets are sold in the United States every day.  The police are carrying on a vigilant war against racketeers like the men you will meet in this case, but they cannot do the job alone. Cannot do it without the help of you, the American people. Tonight's file opens at an FBI field office located in a large eastern city. It is late evening as Special Agent Jim Taylor slowly approaches his desk. You look knocked out, Jim. Oh, hello, Lou. I didn't even see you sitting there. What's got you down? All in one of those cases. I think I mentioned it to you before in the lottery ring. Oh, yeah, yeah. That was five or six months ago. I'm still on it. Made any arrests? No. Any progress? Yes. I've got half a dozen suspects I could pick up, but they're just small fry. What are your leads? Well, headquarters is here. We know that. You see, a few months ago, a package at the express office broke open. Yeah. Books of lottery tickets scattered out all over the floor, but the package was addressed to someone in Cleveland. Did you follow through on it? Yeah, but he's just a distributor. Got him under surveillance. We also secured a search warrant and got the books. There was a return address on that package. It's a fictitious one. Did you send the books to the lab, Jim? Yeah, they compared them with books seized in other places. Found they'd all been stapled with the same machine. How about the paper? We're working on that angle now. And you still have no idea who's running the ring, huh? Yes, Lou, I have. I think it's run by two men named George Carter and Fred Boone, but I have no proof. How do they tell you? Well, I've checked the records of the small fry in this case.  Who are these small fry? Oh, ticket sellers mostly. Where do they get the tickets to sell? My name's Joe Bates. He's under surveillance, too. But so far, he hasn't even come close to visiting Carter or Boone. You are in a box. Ah, but I'll get out of it. We're working closely with us on this. We're just going to keep plugging and hope that something cracks soon. A few evenings later, in a lavishly furnished office located on the top floor of a downtown skyscraper, a middle-aged man stands looking out the window as the door opens. George? Come in, Fred. Come in. Come in. Why don't you turn on the light? I've been looking out the window, watching the city move. All those lovely people saving their nickels and dimes just for us. I got the figures here. Just put them on my desk, will you? You won't like them. No? Why not? They ain't selling tickets. Which districts are off? All but the north side. Any reason for the slump? The boys just ain't hustling. Oh, by the way, Walter quit this morning. What again? What's the matter this time? Who knows? He just walked in my office and said he quit? Well, don't worry. The minute he runs out of whiskey money, you'll have a call from him. Shall we take him back? Sure. He knows more about the books drunk than we do sober. Besides, the old man's our friend. Eh, who needs him? We do. A man should have as many friends as he can. They're better than enemies. And, uh, but easy to cross. Hello, we finally got a break in that lottery case. Good. Thanks to the lab, I traced the paper those tickets were printed on. When do you move in? Well, the SAC still doesn't want to make any arrests. Not till we can establish a link between the printers and Carter or Boone. What's the print shop? The Broadway Press. I thought that was a legitimate outfit. Yeah, it used to be, but the owners got into financial trouble about a year and a half ago. I'm having a surveillance kept in the place now. Well, I'm going over to see a witness on that hijacking case of mine. Grab my phone if it rings, will you, Jim? Charlotte. I'll be back in a couple of hours. Okay. Is that mine? No, no, no, go ahead. Especially didn't Taylor speaking. Mr. Taylor, I'm switching a call to you for Mr. Robinson's line. Oh, fine, go right ahead. Go ahead, please. Mr. Taylor? That's right. My name is Walter Murray. Yes, Mr. Murray. Uh, I've just been talking to, uh... To the agent in charge, yes, for I know. Well, yeah, he said to tell you what I know about the lottery. No, what lottery? Well, Cardi and Boone's. Yes, sir, I'd like to hear anything you know about it. Well, I guess I know the whole thing. See, I mean, I've been their bookkeeper. No, where are you calling from, sir? My home. Uh, those tickets they sell. Yes? They have them printed at the Broadway Press. Yes, sir, I found that out. Yeah, I'm telling you the truth, hm? Yes, yes, please go on. Well, Mr. Cardi and Mr. Boone, they never see the tickets. Well, then how do they distribute them? Well, you see, they call the print shop. They tell them where to send each package and how many books to put in. How far from here do they send the tickets, sir? Eight states. Ah, it's even bigger than I thought. Oh, it's big all right, and well run, too. Yes, I'm sure of that. Well, you see, they know the winning numbers ahead of time, and when the receipts from a certain district fall off of Mr. Cardi and Mr. Boone's seat to it, there are a few big winning tickets are sold in that district the next week. Well, Mr. Murray, we need this information that you have, and we need it badly. Well, that's why I called you. Before you go any further, sir, I feel I have to tell you that giving it to us this way over the phone, you're placing yourself in some danger. What's your address, sir? I can come over there. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That wouldn't be good. Why not, sir? Well, I'd rather come and see you. Do you know where this office is? Yes, sir, yes, sir. I'll be by right after lunch. George, the call can wait. This is important. The cancelist call, please. Oh, what is it? Old man Murray's going to the cops. What? I mean, he's blowing the whistle on us? Whistle, from what I heard, it's more like a bugle. You know that landlady here's the one I put on the payroll? Yeah. She heard him call the FBI a little while ago on the hall phone. He's got a date to meet him. When? Right after lunch. I'm sorry to hear that. Uh, I'd better get a hold of Joe Bates. No, no, no, leave Joe others. But he can take care of you. No, it's too late for that. Walters probably mentioned our names to the FBI. And if anything should happen to him, there wouldn't be much mystery as to how it happened. But we got to do something once he goes up there and signs a paper. Fred, I've had a plan in mind for some time that will cover this situation very nicely. We'll put it to work right now. Here, Jim. Yeah. Yeah, and I may be here for the rest of the night. Well, what's the matter? Well, I got a call just as you left. The SAC had it switched to me. It's from a man named Walter Murray. Now, from what he told me on the phone, he could put the whole lottery ring in a paper sack. Including Carter and Boone? Yeah. He said he's their bookkeeper. He also said he was on his way here to give me full testimony. Well, that was 12 hours ago now. I'm still waiting. Oh, fine. Did you try to trace him? Yeah. The police are searching their records now. What have you done? Just about everything. I've checked fraternal organizations, draft boards. I've called every Walter Murray in the phone book. I even contacted every hospital and the morgue. That's pretty full coverage. And that isn't all, though. I've also found out he doesn't belong to a club. He doesn't own a car. He has no driver's license. And he has no charge accounts. I think I might have been a crank call, Jim. Oh, no. He knew too many T... Oh, excuse me. We have... Special Agent Taylor speaking. Hello, Ted. This is Captain Fulton. Yes, Captain. We may have the man you're looking for. Good. Boone's record shows an arrest 11 years ago with somebody named Walter Murray. Well, it must be him. Murray's got a record of his own, too. Huh? A dozen drunken disorderlies. Some under Alexander, some under Murray. What address have you got for him? 29 West Street. 29 West Street. Thanks very much, Captain. Lou, I've got Murray's address. Come on, right over with me. Hey, three. There's 29, Jim. Yeah. I'll slide out on your side, Lou. Okay. It's not the kind of neighborhood I expected. No, they couldn't have been paying him very much. We had to live here. Oh, maybe that's why he called. I'll push the bell, will you, then? Yeah. I just hope he hasn't changed his mind about talking. I had a change for him. Yeah. Yeah? Good evening. May we come in, please? What for? We'd like to see someone who lives here. Who? Mr. Murray, Walter Murray. He ain't here. What do you happen to know when he left? About 1230. Well, I do. You say when he'd be back. Maybe never. A couple of men came and took him away. A couple of men. Did you see them? Sure. Who were they? They were names. They were from the county hospital for the insane. We will return in just a moment to tonight's exciting case from the official files of your FBI. Now, a special announcement on the revised social security law from the equitable life assurance society. This year, 1950, marks a new era in social security. An additional 10 million citizens are being assigned social security numbers. And those already covered by social security are due to receive greatly increased benefits. That's why the Equitable Society has completely revised its famous fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers to help you find out just where you stand now that new social security benefits have changed your outlook. When you get the chart, imagine that the wage earner of your family has died. No more weekly paychecks coming in. But your wife and children still need food, clothes, shelter, education. How much money will they require to meet all their bills? The fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers will give you a reliable and accurate answer. With their new social security benefits, how many additional dollars will they need every week to be well-fed, well-housed, well-clothed until the youngest child finishes high school? In five minutes, the fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers gives you an answer. Guide you every step of the way with simple, easy-to-understand pictures. Think what a relief not to have to worry any longer. Once you have the facts before you, you can plan intelligently.  Your equitable representative will be glad to work out a sound program for you. The first step is to ask him for a copy of the revised fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. No charge, of course. So get in touch with your equitable representative soon. Or write care of this station to the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States. And now back to the FBI file, the baffle bookkeeper. In tonight's case, you see two men who are partners in a criminal empire. Men of entirely different backgrounds, different habits and different ages. Yet both are criminals. Why? In each case, the answer goes back to their early years. Though George Carter had one advantage over his partner, an expensive, well-grounded education, both labored under a common disadvantage. As a boy, neither had gotten from his parents any standard of morals, any guidepost to prepare him for later life. Thus, they made it almost a certainty that the child would grow up to be what he became. As FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover has said many times, criminals are not born. They are made. Made in American homes by those American parents unwilling to do their jobs. The file continues in the skyscraper office of George Carter. Ah, greetings, Fred. Where you been? Taking care of Mr. Murray. What'd you do? No, with the help of his landlady, I had him committed to the county hospital for the insane. Huh? How'd you do that? It's very simple. He was suffering from hallucinations. His landlady called a doctor. He sent for the wagon. Oh, no, wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let's have the real story. The hallucinations were induced by a medicine. Oh, what have you got? Murphy. I had the print shop send over some prescription blanks. I wrote an order on one. Walter's landlady had it filled and slipped the stuff to the old man. When I started to work, she called a perfectly legitimate doctor. Well, do you think you can make this thing stick? Fred, he's already been committed. What are the patients in this room here? Thanks very much. I'll be waiting in the car in case you need me. Okay, thanks. Mr. Murray? Yes, sir. Mr. Murray, my name is Taylor. I'm special agent of the FBI. FBI? Oh, yes, yes. Wasn't I supposed to meet you yesterday? That was last week, sir. It was? Mr. Murray, the clinical director just told me about the consultation you had with the psychiatric staff this morning. They couldn't seem to agree on a diagnosis in your case, so it seems you'll be kept you another week for observation. Oh. I understand from your doctors here that after someone starts having hallucinations, loss of memory is perfectly normal, but how much do you remember about what happened before you took sex, sir? I do remember calling them. Well, the next hour or so is the period that I'm interested in. Well, I went back to my room. I took a nap in Mrs. Forrest. She's my landlady. She came in and she brought me a glass of orange juice and a cup of coffee. Did you start having those hallucinations right afterwards? I don't remember. I just don't remember. Mr. Murray, the attendant asked me not to stay too long, so I better be going. Wait, wait. Will you come back? Of course, sir. I feel that Carter, Boone, and your landlady were responsible for putting you in here. Now, I've got to go out and prove it. What's happening on that lottery case? Well, I was out to see Mr. Murray day before yesterday. He's still out of the asylum, and from the story he told, I felt the landlady was tied in with Carter and Boone on his commitment. Now, I'm sure. Why? The doctors at the asylum said there was a possibility the old man's hallucinations had been induced by a drug. Oh? Now, they told me the name of the drug, the drug store near the old man's roaming house. I finally came up with one filled after Mr. Murray called the office here. Filled for whom? His landlady. Well, whose prescription was it? A Dr. Bentley, who incidentally isn't the doctor. Mrs. Forrest called to have the old man committed. Have you talked to this Dr. Bentley? No, not yet, Lou. He's been away in a fishing trip. He just got back today. Well, maybe he can unravel it. I hope so. I'm on my way to see him now. Is that Dr.? Dr. Bentley? Yeah. Yeah, the prescription was a forger. I sent it onto the lab. I'm waiting for a teletype from them now. Was it written on his prescription blank? No, but I guess the drug stores can't keep track of which doctors use what forms. What's the word from this island? Giving the old man his final checkup tomorrow morning. I've told the doctors out there what we know so far, but I'd sure like to get one more piece of his present. Like what? Well, the forge prescription definitely ties the landlady into the conspiracy. Now, if the lab can only come up with an identity forger and I can link him with you to George... Hey, man. Oh, yes, Mrs. Williams. That message you wanted coming in on this machine over here. Thanks very much. It should be it, Lou. Read your cell, lab reports, prescription paper, exact, duplicate, paper, use, lottery tickets. The same as a lottery ticket, Lou. That ties everybody together nice and tight. Except for one thing, Jim. Fine. Your key witness is still in the Insanis Island. We're ready, gentlemen, to discuss the next case. This is Murray, Lou. Keep your fingers crossed.  Right here. Thanks. Are you Mr. Walter Murray? Yes, doctor. Just to review the reports in your case briefly. When you were examined at your home after the complaint by Mrs. Forrest, you told Dr. Jones that your bed was on fire and that the fire was green and purple. You also told him that you saw your brother coming toward you that he had blue hair and was trying to choke you. Why? I don't remember those things. Now, um, this next report shows that while in the ambulance being brought here, you told the attendant to stop those people from hitting you. Can, um, can you remember any of those things, Mr. Murray? No, doctor. Uh, this report by the nurse in your award shows you continue to complain after being brought here about the bed being on fire about people sticking you with yellow pins and about your brother trying to choke you. Uh, do you know where your brother is? He's dead. You, uh, told us last week he's been dead for 10 years. Yes, I did. Yes, he has. Have, uh, have you thought about him a lot? No. No, sir, I, uh, except, uh, well, I, I don't know why. Except what? Well, I've, I've always been, well, I should have gone to his funeral. Why didn't you? Well, when I heard about him dying, I, I got drunk and arrested and I was in jail during the funeral. I see. Mr. Murray, uh, do you now think you really saw your brother in your room? No, sir. Do you, uh, think it's possible your bed was actually burning with green and purple fire when Mrs. Forrest called the doctor for you? No, sir. Uh, those, uh, people you told the ambulance attendant about and the things you told the nurse in your award about. Can, uh, can you imagine that they were real? No, no, sir. No, I, I, I can't. Why, uh, why do you think Dr. Jones, the ambulance attendant, your ward nurse and your doctors here put all those things down in those reports? I don't know.  Well, I, I guess if I said those things, I must have been. You, uh, think the people who made these reports are all against you. Oh, no, no, sir, no. Is anybody against you? Are there people trying to hurt you? Oh. I see you're looking at Mr. Taylor. He told me about the possibility that you were brought here because of conspiracy. Oh, though, those people, yeah, they tried to hurt me. Have, uh, have you always known people through your life who went out of their way to do disagreeable things to you? No, sir. I've always gotten along with everybody. Yes. Uh, any of you other doctors wish to continue the questioning? All right, Mr. Murray, if you'd like to wait outside while we make our decision. Special Agent Taylor speaking. Captain Fulton at headquarters. You call me, Jim? Those lottery ticket sellers, cashiers, runners and the others you've had in the surveillance. What a runner. We're ready. So are we. Go ahead, let's start making arrests immediately. You can cut the power on that thing. Huh? What do you say? Those presses aren't turning out any more lottery tickets. Who said so? We did. We're Special Agents of the FBI. You're under arrest. Mrs. Forrest. You're back again. That's right. Mr. Murray, Stella ain't here. I know that. You're under arrest. Huh? Better start packing. Now, what do you mean? Everything's in the ventilator. Cop's knocked off the printing plant an hour ago. I've already heard about that. What, are you just going to sit there? Oh, Fred, there's no possible way they can link us with the printing plant. I got something they can link us with. They also knocked off Joe Bates and all the ticket sellers. Yeah, I know. That doesn't affect us either. Joe and the boys know if they keep quiet, we'll go there. Be a little blow over. Well, here's one that won't blow over. Murray's landlady, Mrs. Forrest, she was picked up 15 minutes ago. What'd you get to that? I called there. One of the rumors told me. And from her to us is a real short jump. Yeah. Yeah, that could mean trouble. Then what do we do? Well, that's obvious. We get out of town. We've both been working hard. We can use arrests. Well, we better get stuck. Who are you? I'm a special agent of the FBI. What do you want? I've got these warrants for both of you. What's the wrap? Running an interstate lottery. We've gotten a whole story on this operation from your ex-bookkeeper. Well, I must say I'm surprised at the FBI. I didn't think you'd take evidence from a man in the insane asylum. We don't. Mr. Murray was judged sane and released two hours ago. Now, come on. George Carter and Fred Boone were convicted on a charge of violating the federal lottery statutes, and each was sentenced to serve two years. The other members of the ring also received similar sentences. The arrest and conviction of George Carter, Fred Boone, and their cohorts broke up this particular lottery ring. It did not, however, cause any general armistice to be signed between law enforcement and the other operators of lottery rackets. Where there are federal violations of this law in other localities, special agents will be at work gathering evidence. Gathering evidence in an attempt to put the racketeers out of business. That job will take time. It can be done more quickly by those of you who today contribute your dimes, your quarters, your dollars to these men. No racket can operate without public acceptance, whether it be a lottery ring, the black market, or anything else. Law enforcement agencies can close those rackets. Only you, the people, can keep them from opening. In just a moment, you will hear about next week's exciting case from the files of your FBI. But first, another message from our Equitable Society representative on the fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers. Make a note right now to get this helpful equitable chart. There's no charge. Just tell your equitable representative you want a fact-finding chart for fathers and mothers, revised to fit the new Social Security law. He'll be glad to bring you one. Or send a postcard care of this radio station to the Life Insurance Society of the United States. Next week, we will dramatize another case from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. File number 292. It's subject. Extortion. It's title. The Backstage Shakedown. The incidents used in tonight's equitable Life Insurance Society's broadcast are adapted from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, all names used are fictitious, and any similarity thereof to the names of places or persons living or dead is accidental. Tonight, the music was composed and conducted by Frederick Steiner. The author was Jerry D. Lewis. Your narrator was William Woodson, and special agent Taylor was played by Stacey Harris. Others in the cast were Whit Connor, Bill Conrad, J.C. Flippen, Victor Rodman, John Sheehan, Peggy Weber, and Carlton Young. This is your FBI. It's a Jerry Divine production. This is Larry Keating speaking for the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States and the Equitable Society's representative in your community. And inviting you to tune in again next week at the same time when the Equitable Life Assurance Society will bring you another thrilling transcribe story from the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Backstage Shakedown on This Is Your FBI. Stay tuned for the adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. There's fun for the whole family when Ozzie and Harriet come your way next.

Suddenly seeing aerial photographs of these temples in Egypt, I realized that there weren't temples, but there were actually templates. That we're actually looking at gigantic energy circuits, circuit boards on a gigantic scale that we could never have imagined. It's just beyond our imagination. The scale that these guys were building things on is something way out of our perception because we just don't have enough money to do that.


Good set. Good little pause. Drive! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Better. Big drive, big drive.  Nice, Sean. Nice! Nice! Let's go! There we go. Go! You get back in, tag your teammates. Well done. Right on your feet here, right on your feet here.  Well done, Jayden. Yes, Shares, coming out. Jayden, it's on you.  Go win the ball and get back in. Pull away!


Hi, today I want to show you how you can use Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka together with Kafka Connect and Debezium to implement the Outbox pattern. Red Hat OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka is a fully hosted and managed Kafka service for stream-based applications. Debezium is part of the Red Hat integration portfolio and is a platform for change data capture. So that means that in a nutshell, with Debezium you can monitor the transaction logs of a database and then react on insert updates and deletes. Debezium itself is deployed as a connector on top of Kafka Connect and Kafka Connect is a tool from the Kafka ecosystem which allows you to hook up your Kafka broker directly to external systems. Those systems can be data sources or data syncs. So what you see here is that events can be captured by Kafka Connect from a third-party system, transferred into Kafka messages and on the other sides Kafka Connect can consume those messages and push them to a sync system. So Debezium is used as a source Kafka connector so it will monitor transaction logs of a database and upon insert update delete events will capture that event and transform it into a Kafka message. The use case that we're going to see with Debezium today is a bit particular and it's called the Outbox Pattern and the Outbox Pattern provides a solution for the problem of dual rights with Kafka and for instance database. So to illustrate this you have here a service, an application, it's called the Order Service and as part of its functionality when a new order comes in the order needs to be persisted in a database and a Kafka message has to be sent out for consumption by other services like the customer service and the shipment service. The issue is that you cannot combine both the database transaction and the writing of the Kafka message as one atomic operation so that means that when things go wrong you can end up with an inconsistent system. So let's say that you send out the order service sends out the Kafka message but then the persistence operations fails and it rolls back, your system is inconsistent and the other way around. So the Outbox Pattern provides a solution for that problem by allowing the order service not to send the Kafka message itself but rather persist the payload of the message together with some metadata in a separate table in the database. This table is called here the Outbox Table in the same transaction as the main persistence operations from, for instance, persisting the order. Debezium monitors the Outbox Table, detects that new rows are being created, transforms through a single message, transforms the change event into a proper Kafka message with the intended payload and sends that into the Kafka topic of interest so that it can be consumed by the customer or the shipment service. So the order service now persisting the order and sending the Kafka message is now an atomic operation because it's done in one database transaction and Debezium takes over from there. So to illustrate all this I made a small setup so I have my Kafka Broker, my OpenShift Stream for Apache Kafka instance already provisioned. It's happily running on the cloud and if you look at the topics, so you can see here the connection information. So with my Bootstrap server and then I have a service account that I'm going to use to actually connect to that Kafka instance. If you look at the topics, see here that here at the bottom, you see topic incident command, topic incident event. Those are two topics that belong to my little demo application and then you see your three topics that were automatically created by Kafka Connect. So that's my hosted Kafka instance. On my local OpenShift cluster, I have installed a number of things so I have my demo application which is called Incident Service which is a Quarkus application and which is actually part of a larger application which is the emergency response demo and the incident service is just a part of that. And basically what it does is when new incidents come into a REST call, it needs to persist the state of that incident and send out a Kafka message for consumption by other services in the emergency response demo. So an ideal candidate for the outbox pattern. Here you see my hosted Kafka cluster through a Kafka connection, custom resource and on the right you see here another Quarkus application, the Kafka consumer which is a very simple application that consumes messages from a particular topic and logs the contents of that message. Both the incident service and the Kafka consumer service are hooked up to my hosted Kafka broker through service binding. And then here we see our Kafka Connect installation with the vision on top of that and in which the vision is set up in such a way to monitor the outbox table of the PostgreSQL database. So now if a new incident is created, the incident service will persist a Kafka message in the outbox table. This will be picked up by the vision on Kafka Connect, sent to a topic on my hosted Kafka broker and from there the Kafka consumer application will consume it. Now before I actually demonstrate this principle, let me quickly dive into some details. Also on OpenShift both Kafka Connect and the division connector can actually be deployed as custom resources, which are managed by the stream Z operator. So if we look at here, we see here the piece of the custom resource for Kafka Connect. Where you see actually the Bootstrap server that this Kafka Connect is configured with corresponds to the Bootstrap server of my hosted Kafka instance. And you also see here that we use subtle plain authentication using the username and password from my service account where actually the password itself is kept in a secret that is referenced here. So this Kafka Connect instance is hooked up with my hosted Kafka broker. The vision itself is deployed on top of that Kafka Connect instance as a Kafka connector custom resource. And then you see here that it uses the postgres connector from division. And then you see here a lot of metadata about how to connect to that database, which tables to monitor. And here is only one that's the incident outbox table in which the incident service will persist Kafka messages. And then some other metadata about how to transform what is found in the incident outbox table to a proper Kafka message. That's the division part. Now to illustrate how this all works, I have here a simple UI that is part of the emergency response demo, which allows me to create incidents. So if I create an incident, if I hit the submit button, there is a rest call to the incident service. The data of the incident is persisted, as well as the Kafka message picked up by the division sent to my hosted Kafka instance and then consumed by the Kafka consumer application. To show this, I have here a terminal that actually is open to the console of my Kafka consumer pod. It's empty right now, but if I create an incident, we expect a Kafka message to show up here. And so let's see if that actually works. So I will create an incident, just one to start. I click submit. If I go now to my Kafka consumer terminal, my log, you will see that indeed I consume the message from the topic, topic incident event. It's the name of the topic, third partition, fifth offset. And then you see the headers of that message, you see the key of that message, and you see the actual value which corresponds to the state of an incident. And if you look carefully, you will see that this is not just a, well, it's a Kafka message, but it's a bit special message in the sense that it adheres to the cloud event specifications. So in the headers, you see a number here of cloud event specific headers. And this is because the whole emergency response demo standardized on cloud events as message exchange format. So it works. And to illustrate that it really works. Let's say that I can do like 10 incidents and let's say that I will create them with an interval of 100 milliseconds. So a new incident every 100 milliseconds. If I submit here, you will indeed see that 10 messages have been consumed by the Kafka consumer application. So this was a short demo to illustrate how you can combine OpenShift Streams for Apache Kafka together with Kafka Connect and DBSium to implement the Outbox pattern. Thanks for watching.


Ladies and gentlemen, Silent Mike here with something a little bit different. We're going to dive into a topic that may be controversial, maybe just a little bit something different than I've talked about. Very common in the industry. Connor and I, the man behind the magic, behind the camera, behind the editing. We ran a little sociology experiment. We want to figure out whether it's kind of an external reward system of likes, follows, views, or maybe an internal self-conscious reason. Why something like maybe using performance enhancing drugs or steroids, Photoshop, highly edited pictures or videos, the perfect lighting angle, etc., is so common in our industry or on social media today. Obviously, it's been going on for years in the Hollywood world, right? Movies, magazines, pictures, articles, etc., everyone does it. We were recently watching a movie, I believe it was Star Wars, one of my faves, a new hope to be exact. And we noticed how many blemishes everybody had in the movie because they didn't just filter out or paste on makeup on everybody. We're nowadays probably since the 90s. Every movie, you don't even see a wrinkle or a pimple or anything. They basically don't even look human. They almost look like some kind of mannequin. So this is very, very common in our industry and there's been some bigger scandals, if you will, about people getting called out for their Photoshop, whether the fans or the followers then met them in person and realized how small they were or how much muscle they didn't have, or even how much weights they lifted or didn't lift, whether it's fake weights or lying about how much you lift. It's very, very common. So basically what we did is Conor found an app, I think he was actually weirdly sponsored to or advertised to on Facebook for this app.  And he found an app that with just one push of a button is supposed to make you have more hair if you're balding, better facial hair, no wrinkles, look more athletic, look more jacked, look leaner. And so we took one of my progress photos, chucked it up right onto the Instagram. And so some of this obviously is just a tiny experiment. There's many a variable that we couldn't count for. I tried to post at an optimal time. I try to make a good, nice motivational caption for all the haters out there. I use the regular hashtags that I normally use. So I tried to use it just as much as I could, any other post to gain good traction and give it a chance to grow. And we want to see whether it would take off, get a couple more likes, views, follows, or not compared to just a normal progress picture of myself. Connor did all the editing in the photo. After some discussion, we agreed upon that it was good that we just tweaked it a little bit. We want to just compare it to and show maybe what somebody, your YouTuber, Instagrammer, fitness persona might actually do. They're not making themselves from a 180 pound kid look like a 250 pound guy. They're just making them look like a dope looking 185 pound guy. So we wanted to emulate that best we could. Basically what Connor did in the app is just small changes. Like we said, we want to emulate maybe what potentially these people that you follow or the world follows on fitness inspiration do. So he just added a little bit to my abs, kind of outlined them. He brought out my shoulders, made them a little bit broader, and brought in my waist just a little bit to kind of give that v-taper that everybody's talked about. Again, I'm probably, I'm throwing these random numbers out, but I'm probably 12 to 15% body fat anyways. And Connor maybe made it look like I was closer to 10. And then bringing in my waist and making me a little bit more handsomest. Didn't change the face at all though. So that's just all handsome, ladies and gentlemen. No Photoshop there. And this brings up a different discussion. We're gonna dive into a couple ideas here. And this brings up a discussion of where that moral line is for you, where it should be maybe for the industry. Because I think everybody that posts on the internet trying to gain some traction or has some kind of followers has some type of responsibility to lead the right way. And obviously the right way is by perspective and what that content creator believes. But for me, it's to not dupe anybody. It's not to scam anybody. It's no gimmicks. It's to show you my progress, what I look like now, and maybe how I achieve those things. So for me, when I'm putting up any kind of picture, one, I'm notorious in my group of friends in the industry, especially Bart and Omar, tell me how terrible I am at taking selfies. Which in hindsight, it's an insult, it's a slap in the face. But it makes me almost feel good that I'm not putting up the perfect light and I'm not putting up the perfect pose when I'm showing you guys some of my progress. Two, for myself, that again in hindsight kind of feels good, but it just shows how crappy I look in pictures is meeting some of you guys, my subscribers, people listen to almost always podcasts, people that follow me on Instagram. In person, they always say how much bigger I look than in pictures because I'm so bad again at kind of showing off, I guess, on the internet. I'm just not good at taking pictures of myself and I'm not that photogenic in my opinion. So that's another thing that makes me feel good and makes me feel like I'm not scamming or kind of blind siding you guys. When I do post on Instagram, Instagram has filters. And I think filters, in my opinion, personally, again, this is all about perspective. I think that they're not crossing that line. I'm insanely pale. Again, take terrible pictures.  I do think once you start to manipulate lines with face tune or whatever some of these apps are out there, I do think, one, you're lying to your followers who hopefully you're building a community and trying to help those people rather than trying to deceive them. Two, you're not really producing content, in my opinion, because that's not you. Same thing similar to putting on an act of who you may be. If you are an actor or you're doing skits, sure, of course you're going to not be yourself. But if you're vlogging or you're doing some of these things, in my opinion, for the long run of being a content creator and, again, that responsibility of being a content creator, having a following, being a public figure, is you have to be honest. You have to be yourself, and you have to stay true to yourself, and that's something that looking back at my entire career of putting my face on the internet that I've done decently. Even this morning, I got into a little discussion with my barber in the barbershop this morning. My barber runs multiple brick and mortar companies and also does, I believe, online seminars and owns a palmade or hair product company. He's been an entrepreneur forever, kind of a local figure here. I've been going to him for a long time too, and he kind of knows what I do. So we chat about content and marketing and different things, and some of the people in the barbershop were asking me what supplements that I work with, or companies, or that I promote, or whatever. They kind of ask me, well, why don't you just sign with the supplement company and only promote the product that you believe in? And what I told them is the picture in the fitness industry is bigger than that. Sure, there's one or two protein bars or energy drinks within a company that I might like to promote, but it's the, again, being honest to myself, the entire company, no company in particular, just generally the supplement company, may have athletes that I don't agree with, how they train, how they coach, how they promote themselves, and they're signed on. So now we're teammates. So in a way, I'm signing on for that person. Two, the way they promote these other supplements.  These are tied together with branding and I signed my name on to the entire brand. So in a way, for me personally, it's, again, too much of a sell out. I don't know if I've talked about it much on camera, but I talked to all my friends in the industry about how I believe selling out's a scale. You can go too far or you can go too less. You can be as conservative or not as you'd like, but it's all on you and your perspective and your moral. There's just barriers that I'm not willing to go across and I would rather be 100% me, both in person and online and stick to who I am as a person and my morals through both with the kind of Photoshop idea, the supplement deal, whatever it might be, anabolic steroids or whatever it is, I want to be as transparent as I can, both in person and online and stick to 100% what I believe in in person and online. Results of the experiment. I did notice I didn't do that perfect of an experiment. Obviously this was just for a little bit of fun the other day. I did get a bunch of new followers and I think that's because one, the hashtags maybe attracted those people there as well as the first visual drew them in. The likes were probably on average for what a picture or quote or whatever at that time of day would do on my page. So I would say that kind of surprisingly, it wouldn't do, it didn't do as great as we thought. We thought it might do better. In conclusion, I don't know what that means. I don't know if the content creator themselves are so self-conscious that they have to do these put it on the internet or if their goal is to attract more followers, more likes or whatever it may be. And we may never know because it is probably person to person. Me personally, I do, I want to understand both ends. I am self-conscious. I don't like showing a lot of skin. You won't really find me in tank tops. Those progress pictures online, although may seem that I'm comfortable, I'm very uncomfortable posting things like that. I don't like to swim. I don't like to be at the beach naked. It's just not my cup of tea. I like to keep my shirt on, hoodie on if I could. It's just 100 degrees in here. So I understand being a little self-conscious and wanting to make yourself look a little bit better before presenting it to the public. And I also understand doing it to try to get more likes, followers, views, et cetera. I mean, I am a content creator and all of us content creators, whether they say it or not, they want people to watch their stuff. There's a reason I invested thousands of dollars of equipment, time, time, money, and my energy to create the content. Of course I want people to watch it. I'd be lying if I wasn't, but I'm just not willing to bend those rules or morals of myself to get a little bit of extra traction. I do think if I continuously photoshopped a little bit of my pictures over the next six months that I do think the growth would probably be a little bit better. But again, it's not worth it for me, to get an extra 100,000 followers, even a million followers, I'd rather still just put my fat, ugly face on the internet and have the following that I have compared to you. And again, that's all on perspective. If people want to do that, by all means you do you, me do me. Close and thoughts, I do think that everyone who makes themselves a public figure who is a content creator needs to take more responsibility for what they put out there, what they say, the research they do, the products they sell, the companies they support. I think it's only on us if we want to make things better.  But what I try to do is lead by example and I tie my name to people, companies, things that I believe in and are doing things the right way. And if everybody's at least trying to do that, I do think that we can lift the industry. I'll leave you with a quote from Marcus Aurelius. The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury. And what that means to me is if I am hurt or I don't like something, I don't believe in what somebody else is doing, I'm going to do my best to act, live, breathe it into the industry, into content, be me and act the way I want this industry to grow. Maybe I will bash it here and there because things do agitate me and I may speak poorly on it, but I'm going to spend more of my energy, more of my focus doing things what I believe is the right way to make things better. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, if you like the style of video, comment below topics you'd like me to...

is talking about Tom Brady after he made football history taking home his 7th Super Bowl win. Not to mention this was the first time he did it without his former team, the New England Patriots. This time Tom celebrated with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and you know when he went to play for them he and his supermodel wife Giselle Boonchin had to move themselves into a gorgeous Florida mansion. Tom has also established himself a winning record off the field by moving around from one lavish property to the next living in New York, Los Angeles and more. We're gonna check out Tom and Giselle's current mansion in Tampa, the Florida dream home that's in the works and more. We even found the listings. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses even though I've done a house tour of my own place please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Tom Brady is an athlete who needs no introduction especially after this last Super Bowl but as you probably know he's currently a quarterback in the NFL playing for Tampa Bay. He's also widely considered the greatest quarterback of all time and has set plenty of records over his football career. Tom is also one of the NFL's highest paid players with some $350 million in career earnings. While believe it or not his supermodel wife Giselle Boonchin is estimated to have a net worth of nearly twice as much as her husband at $521 million. Either way the inseparable couple has quite the combined fortune that allows them to move from mansion to mansion whenever they please. Having left the Patriots after 20 seasons Tom and Giselle sold their 12,000 square foot New England mega mansion last year for over $32 million and moved to the Sunshine State. It's reported the high profile couple have now invested over $17 million on a tear-down home on the exclusive Indian Creek Island in Miami dubbed the Billionaire Bunker and they're building a custom dream home. While they wait they're renting Derek Jeter's famous mansion in Florida for a rumored $75,000 per month. Hey guys it's Kara and today we're bringing you another house tour here in famous entertainment. Be sure to hit that subscribe button and ring that bell we post a new video daily. While we previously reported on Tom Brady and Giselle Boonchin's homes on this channel it was before they uprooted their family to Florida so it was time for an update. And what better time than after his huge Super Bowl win. We'll check out their current homes in Florida and more. As you know here we talk about celebrity houses but have you ever wondered about Lil Uzivert's Face Diamond implant or about Justin Bieber's one-of-a-kind new whip? We recently started a brand new channel famous fashion where myself and some other hosts are reporting on all things celebrity fashion and purchases. Join us and subscribe. We even did a video on Tom Brady's gorgeous yacht so I think you should check it out.  Wouldn't a diamond in the forehead feel weird? Who knows? As always don't forget to follow me on Instagram to chat and now let's get into this video. All of Tom and Giselle's former properties are jaw-dropping. We're gonna take a quick look at one they sold off in 2014 to none other than Dr. Dre for a whopping 40 million dollars. It's rumored that the current eco-friendly dream home the couple has being built in Florida will loosely resemble this Brentwood mansion they also had custom built. Located in Brentwood, a quiet upscale neighborhood in west side Los Angeles, Tom and Giselle's former home was made to resemble a French country chateau and occupied four acres of sprawling land. Not only was their home environmentally conscious, it was also a palace spanning over 18,000 square feet of space with every amenity you could dream up. Boasting five bedrooms and nine bathrooms, there were two full wings and the place was designed from the ground up by the famed Richard Landry. There were details like wooden ceiling beams and antique floorboards giving off old world charm throughout. As well as seven fireplaces and large common rooms for entertaining guests. One of those fireplaces was in the expansive master suite Tom and Giselle shared. The bedroom also had a custom chandelier, huge walk-in closet, master bath and walk-out terrace. All of the bedrooms overlooked the dramatic infinity pool surrounding gardens and grounds. Out front, a winding gated driveway led over waterfalls and ponds to a cobblestone motor core. Get this, the mansion even had a moat with koi fish. Other features of this Brentwood estate included a library, full gym and weight room, sauna, a wine cellar and multiple covered terraces. While Tom and Giselle still called this place home, they even opened their doors for architectural digest. Considering it took the pair about four years and likely $20 million to get this home exactly how they wanted it, they were proud to show the place off. One of their main goals was to install energy and water systems to make the place eco-friendly as well as features like solar panels for electricity. By the sounds of it, they'll be doing this for the new Florida mansion they're building too. While Tom and Giselle are working on their custom Florida estate, the pair went all out for where they're currently living. The mansion they're living at with their kids is one of the most famous homes in all of Florida, after places like Mar-a-Lago of course. Located on Davis Island in downtown Tampa, this jaw-dropping property was built by another sports legend, Derek Jeter, who was renting it to the Brady's for reported $75,000 per month. Not to mention, the home is also up for sale at a whopping $29 million. This mansion sits on a beautiful 1.2 acre waterfront lot and has served as the setting of Tom's amazing year in Tampa training for his successful Super Bowl victory. As you'd imagine, it's a big house. 22,000 square feet with another 9,000 square feet of terraces as well as seven bedrooms and nine baths. The exterior of the mansion is more traditional than you might expect, looking like a country mansion with a lot of stone both inside and out. Dark wood complements the white and gray stone in the interior and there are plenty of double-height ceilings and Florida ceiling windows to take in the fabulous water views. There's a great room that flows out onto the patio and glass sliders make for a seamless transition. This place also has more than one seating area, a fireplace with flat screen TB above, and cozy eating area beside the open air. There's more space to dine in the massive modern kitchen with bar seating and a cozy breakfast nook, while more formal meals can happen in the nearby dining room. Not to mention that fresh looking kitchen has not one but four dishwashers. Elsewhere, there's what looks like a top notch man cave or club room with open views to the water, a full bar with a TV setup, pool table, and more. Other luxury amenities include a professional gym as you'd expect Tom Needs, a screening room, an elegant office library, and an 80-foot lap pool with separate spots. Also outside with all that sprawling terrace space, there are balconies on every level overlooking the water views as well as covered spaces to barbecue and dine. For lucky guests who come to visit, they can stay in the separate guest suite that seems to also have its own small kitchen and living spaces aside from the bed and bath. I'm sure Tom and Giselle can also enjoy their yacht or boats here considering there's a large dock with two boat lifts. Despite how straight up amazing this mansion is, it's only a matter of time before someone wants to buy, but I'm sure by then the couple will be ready to move into their custom property. Last year, Tom and Giselle dropped 17 million dollars for a home on one of the exclusive all enclaves in the world, Indian Creek in Miami, also dubbed a billionaire bunker and with good reason. The private horseshoe-shaped island has just 34 homes and residents include Supermodel Adriana Lima, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, and billionaire investors like Carl Icahn. The tear-down home Tom and Giselle purchased spent 5,172 square feet with five beds and five baths, but it sounds like the pair has something much more lavish in store. Thanks to the exclusivity of Indian Creek and a population of only around 80 residents, privacy won't be an issue for high-profile couples like them. Not to mention, Tom is notoriously privacy-conscious and was attracted to the idea of living on a guard-gated island patrolled by marine guards. In an interview with Howard Stern, he said, I forgot people could drive up to your house. Here they can pull right up to the back of the house. I'm a little bit of an introvert. I feel like my house is my place I can relax in the backyard. There's a lot of boats that have pulled up and people at the front. In place of the house they demolished on the site, it's rumored Tom and Giselle will build another eco-friendly dream house similar to the Brentwood mansion we looked at that they sold to Dr. Dre. One thing's for sure, I bet the mansion is gonna be huge. Having traded teams and climates over to Florida, the star quarterback has been excited to put down roots under the Florida sun. Tom stated, You won't catch me dead living in the northeast anymore. I'm loving the warm weather and it's been a great feeling. Well, I don't blame you, Tom, that's for sure. So now we've taken a look at Tom Brady and his wife Giselle Bunchen's latest real estate since moving to the Sunshine State and I think that brings this house to her to an end. As for the custom mansion they're working on, I think that might take a little bit of time. So we're just gonna have to wait and see the finished result. If it's anything like their former properties, you already know it's gonna be luxury living at its finest. After checking out Tom and Giselle's former Brentwood mansion and their luxury rental estate in Tampa they've been living at, what did you guys think? What was your favorite part of their current home? I love the rental mansion's design, especially in the entrance and the double height great room. It had all the amazing features in one spot and opened right up to the waterfront views. Be sure to tell me what you thought down in the comments. Thanks for tuning in. I'm still reading all of your comments, so keep the suggestions coming. Don't forget to follow me at Instagram and I will see you guys all in the next video. Bye!


In inaction is inaction, and there were too many people who were inactive when he knew what was happening. It's the moment of reflection. It's the moment of renewal. It's the moment of commitment, commitment to not only saying never again, but living never again. You're really getting an appreciation of the intersectionality of all of our faith and the power of faith. In history that we are hosting an Arab-American event here in Gracie Mansion.
