Throughout the coronavirus pandemic the government have made the same mistake over and over again. Back in March they entered a lockdown too late in a self-defeating bid to protect the economy and most recently they made the bizarre decision to loosen a lockdown four weeks before a Christmas free-for-all. In between those two fateful decisions was another disastrous mistake. Back in September, when the government should have been closing down the rest of the economy so that students could safely go back to school, they instead, in hoc with their friends in the press were actively trying to bully people back into their workplaces. Aaron and I discussed this at the time and what you'll notice is another theme which has been present throughout this crisis. When the Tories have made poor decisions it's usually because they're prioritising defending the interests of their wealthy mates. After almost six months of the majority of Britain's young people remaining out of schools this week they have finally returned. That's a good thing and we should still be backing wholeheartedly the union's campaign to make sure that that goes as safely as possible, that the resources are provided to teachers and schools so that we don't see another coronavirus spike because kids have gone back but ultimately six months out of mainstream education for most kids was not a good thing. It was regrettable but and it seems like at this point in time the unions and the government both seem to be somewhat agree that they have to go back now so that the framing of the debate is now how safe is it going to be when they're back and that is really what we should all be discussing. What the political class should be debating on television and on the front pages of the newspapers are how are we going to make sure that this incredibly necessary thing which is that kids go back to receive the education that they need goes by without creating an appalling second spike but that is not how they are greeting this moment. It's not their focus as kids go back into their classrooms no instead what they are using is this opportunity as one to blackmail workers back into their offices so we're going to go to a Daily Mail front page from this morning and so they write they're back at work where is the rest of the UK so they're saying if the kids have gone back then why haven't the adults gone back if the kids are brave enough to go back to school why can't the adults suck it up and go into their offices and the reason this is a terrible argument is one why would you force anyone to go back into their offices if they don't need to if it's an unnecessary risk but also they've completely misunderstood the relationship between kids going back to school and workers going back into their offices because quite in contrast in indirect contradiction to the idea that because kids have gone back workers should go back in fact no it's because kids have gone back workers should not go back because as we've been told over the last six months completely correctly this idea of the reproduction rate of coronavirus the r-rate that goes above one if we do too many things at the same time so if we want to make sure that our kids as is necessary can go back to school without causing a second spike what we have to do is make sure that all the unnecessary things we stop doing so what we should be saying is so that our kids can safely go back to school and so they can safely stay in school if you can continue working from home do it but that's not what they're saying and they're not saying that purely because they want to back up the interests of commercial landlords and in some cases their own business models so i want to go to another headline now and which is from the evening standard so this is edited by former chancellor george osbourne owned by russian billionaire and now lord afghany lebedev and they went with a very similar headline to the mail but they also had this this comment today a new london should begin careful to contain covet but ready to return it's up to each one of us the magic which makes london is in terrible danger a ghost city is no city at all i can read that say oh this is about the general good of london what we want is people to go back to work so that the remarkable energy that makes london great can be re brought about can be can be made live again now that's bullshit because if people if people wanted london to go back to the way that it was before they would be going back to work right now but what you have realized now is that one people value their health more than you know going into their offices and making sure that can continue operating at a profit and that potentially people getting up at 6 a.m getting on a pat tube going to work spending a bunch of their wages on on lunch was not quite as magical as george osbourne and of getting lebedev might have believed but why would they want you to go straight back because in the economy where people you know have a work life balance maybe they work for three days at home two days in the office what aren't they reading so often the evening standard who's advertising revenue falls lebedevs the russian billionaire who's now a lord so we have our media class who are supposed to be informing us about how this country can best contend with coronavirus who instead are putting their petty interests of short-term profit ahead of the public ahead of the public good and calling it news you know you you couldn't make it up this is i suppose the more obvious argument put forward which is you know ridiculous and the more subtle argument as to why people need to go back into their workplaces other than to relight the magic of london is to save jobs this was an argument made by ex-tory health minister jerry hunt this morning on the k burly show let's take a look you think that the government did too good a job when it comes to lockdown and that people thought if i stay at home i'll live if i go out i'll die and now they don't want to send their kids back to school well i think what we have in this country is a very sophisticated educated electorate who understand health issues very well and when the instructions were clear and they were very very clear about staying at home people complied but we're also very inventive and creative and i think a lot of people found that it was much easier to work from home than they perhaps thought it would be and so that's why it's proving a bit more of a struggle to get people to go back to work because people obviously find it's a lot more productive if they're not having to commute but as charays coffee was saying earlier on your show the big problem is all those jobs in city centres that depend on people going back to work i think there's also someone who ran their own business for many years there's a creativity you get a buzz in an office which you don't get when you're doing meetings over zoom or or microsoft teams and there's only so long that you can carry on working completely remotely before you start losing the kind of fizz and excitement that you get in a really good workplace so i think people will want to go back to work eventually i hope it happens soon so obviously the headline line from that interview was Jeremy saying that people want to go back into the office for the excitement and fizzle and you know the obvious response being as there ever been anyone who looks like they suck more excitement and fizzle out of a room than Jeremy Hunt someone who looks permanently constipated and struggles to smile i mean we don't actually have to speculate as well because it just so happens that before Jeremy Hunt was an MP he was co-founder and co-director of the company Hot Course and one of his employees there was Luke Turner now an editor at the music magazine The Quietus um Turner worked as an admin at the organization and had this to say about the firm what made it the worst three years of my life was the working environment and the expectation put onto the staff by Hunt and other managers when a deadline approached we were expected to work late into the night for no overtime or recompense rarely we were thanked for our labours there was a general air that we should be grateful for the remarkable opportunity that this endless admin offered there was certainly a different attitude towards employees who'd been to private school or oxbridge than to the rest of us in such a high pressure environment yet producing such mundane work stress levels rose i know of good friends and colleagues who suffered near nervous breakdowns from the experience of working in such a vampiric moral and confidence sapping operation everything was secondary to the operation of the business so that was written back in 2012 about working in an office under the management of Jeremy Hunt he's now on the television saying people should go back to work because of the excitement and the fizz i mean have you ever been to a place which has got less excitement and fizz than the average open plan office right actually there's there's a wealth of literature about this where if we were to actively design places where people were constantly distracted unable to be productive unable to concentrate unable to do what Cal Newport and academic who specializes on precisely this topic calls deep work uh we would have the open office uh open plan office and what this is all about and this is really important again this is not about capitalism wants us to go back to the office many firms would actually love to get rid of their office full-time you hear i'm hearing this repeatedly actually from friends who work in businesses and they're saying remote working works great we're not going to renew the lease that's happening a lot and to keep them competitive to save money they're very happy to outsource office costs to their staff right that's not a progressive thing by the way but they're happy to do it this is not about maximizing the interests of business even this is about maximizing the interests of rentiers people who own the office blocks the landlords and this is an important fracture within british capitalism about where is value being not created captured and it's not by enterprises that you know are creating sort of new goods and services overwhelmingly it's by the rentier class by the landlord class really important point so this idea of us all going back to work yes okay you would get pre-off-life support but the people it would serve the most are the landlord class are we're going to we're going to reveal something about jeremy hunt's relationship the landlord class in one moment first of all i want to go back to that jobs point because it is going to be the politically most relevant argument which is made which is to i suppose essentially guilt people blackmail people say you have to go back to work otherwise these people potentially on lower incomes and yourselves will lose their jobs the obvious sort of example here what's going to become i suppose the the archetype of the job that will be lost if people do not go back to their offices in the same numbers as before is the person working at pret then we have to ask are those jobs really worth saving and that does not mean should these should the people who who are in those jobs if they lose their jobs they obviously have to be fundamentally supported we need retraining system we need a green industrial revolution that means that jobs come about that people actually want to do and which actually add value but do we do we want to encourage the public to risk their health to risk the r-rate rising above one and schools having to close just to save the pret economy now there was a great article in the ft by sarah o'connor this is not a socialist publication who was saying no we don't want to save the pret economy so the article's headlined goodbye to the pret economy and good luck to whatever replaces it cities will not die their benefits could become more diffuse with well-paid workers spreading into the rest of the country i recommend reading it great piece so she writes high housing costs were particularly problematic for the low-paid workers who made the city's run increasingly only migrants seemed willing to accept low wage jobs cleaning offices or making coffee in 2017 pret's director of human resources told parliament that just one in 50 of its job applicants was british later that year the financial times interviewed a pret worker from romania who woke up free am to commute an hour and a half from east ham to the branch in waterloo she was paid 16 000 pounds a year now obviously there were some people that will use that that argument that one in 50 people who are applying for a british in a sort of xenophobic way that's why we need brexit so that we have british people serving british sandwiches but obviously the implication there is not that too many foreign people are applying for jobs at prep it's that the conditions are so low that people you know with higher expectations about what they should be earning because they were brought up in this country won't work there because they're not willing to get up at free am in the morning commute two hours to work for 16 grand a year and probably pay about half of that to again a rentier so this is you know this is not the best we can do when someone says the alternative to us going back to the status quo as it was before is mass unemployment you know call their bluff the alternative to us going back to how things were before is we have a government that takes the responsibility to bring about an economy that actually works for ordinary people not pays them shit wages to have fundamentally a miserable life doing things that they don't particularly value and you know ultimately paying half of it the rentier Aaron how do we win this argument that we don't want to go back to the economy as usual we want jobs but we want them to be better than they were before yeah it's an important question i think one of the incredibly predictable response you get from this is well actually rentiers are really important because pension funds are tied into the rent economy and if we get defaults from commercial rents then you know that little old lady her private pension it won't be paid right this isn't true pensions okay a index they invest a bunch of companies they spread the risk okay so for every commercial property company that's going to collapse and yes the returns won't come from that they're also investments in zoom or hand soap dispensers right so firstly that argument isn't isn't remotely correct secondly we need to have a conversation about a four-day working week i think this is the best way right now to manage everything in the medium term you don't even need to necessarily it's a long-term measure you say we're going to move to a four-day week we're going to have the state top up people's wages carry on furlough effectively i think for significant parts of the economy and perhaps muck about with you know tax brackets tax bans and so on have something resembling a ubi not a ubi something resembling a ubi a really good threshold for for people basically to to have you you can make ends meet on about three days work a week which presents much much country particularly london isn't true secondly this is going to have a really big impact on london huge impact on london we don't really know how much right now property prices are still high rents are actually falling hackney's rents are falling because airbnb the airbnb economy just like pratt you know it's really suffering there's a huge increase of supply for properties all these these flats that we're going to be let you know rented on airbnb for two days three days one week two weeks all of a sudden they're saying well look actually let's just get a secure tenant in there for six months much more secure we'll get our money so that means that uh renter renter falling now the question for a young person is this and i don't know the answer if you were 18 or 19 michael would you start university this year i wouldn't i certainly wouldn't move to a city to then do my lectures online if you're a recent graduate would you live in a large city like london and try you know try and make that break i don't think i would and so i think you know the longer this crisis goes on i think we're going to have a really big break with the kind of status quo common sense that we've had for the last 20 30 years which is if you want to get ahead you have to go to a major metropolitan areas particularly london now right now there's no alternative right if you're a young person you want to get ahead well okay what else do you do that's you know that's a 64 million dollar question but it's not going to be uh the the previous kind of status quo ante which is go to london get an internship get your foot on the ladder nobody's going to be saying that for potentially two three years that's a huge rupture for a generation of young people entering the labor market and ultimately what's his about is giving people more options because obviously you know i want anyone who wants to move to london and go to universities to be able to do that but the idea you should have to move to a mega city to get up in the career ladder and in the process spend half of your income on on rent is is ridiculous i want to take us back to hunt briefly because as we've mentioned one of the main people who are going to lose out if people don't go back to their office spaces in the same numbers as they had before is commercial landlords because what many businesses are realizing as Aaron has mentioned is that they can save money on on rent by getting people to work from home either the whole time or or half of the time i mean i'm personally in favor of sort of two two days in the office three days at home so you sort of get some of that socializing without all of the commuting and all of the pressure um but someone who will lose out because of this is jeremy hunt because yes he is something he did not mention in that sky interview a commercial landlord um i saw this mentioned on twitter today i had to fact check it so i went to the register of interests you can see the incomes of all parliamentarians and this was on jeremy hunts so land and property portfolio value over a hundred thousand and or giving rental income of over ten thousand pounds a year so on there he's got half a share of a holiday home in italy he's also got seven apartments in south hampton but in the middle there half share of an office building in london so this man is a commercial landlord and you might say half share of an office is that that bigger deal now let's look at what what this office is and also how it came about because it tells you something about the man jeremy hunt again uh so the office is it's a big office in hammersmith it was and potentially still is i'm not sure occupied by hot courses that's the company that jeremy hunt created he was co-director co-founder of that now the the way that this building came to be in the ownership of of jeremy hunt and his co-director was that it was paid to them in dividends so the company instead of paying out money uh in cash in dividends to its co-founders paid out this property and then what happened after that is that hunt rents back the property to hot courses his company at the time and they did this according to the telegraph to avoid tax um so this scheme the kind of thing that ordinary people don't do you don't transfer someone a a a building to then rent it back yourself this is the kind of thing that only the one percent do um it saved hunt and his colleague a hundred thousand pounds each according to the telegraph but that is not enough to keep the man happy he seemingly wants people to risk their lives their health um so that he can keep making money on his hammer smith office block


Actually, you should be my colleague who will do this presentation, but it's absent today, so I will do the presentation for you. We will talk about Lightweight Age Computing Eluit. Why do we have Lightweight Age? Now it's all digitalized, light digitalized industries. You will create a huge flow of data. If you upload all this data to cloud, then you need to have very high bandwidth. For connected vehicles, our medical services require very low latency, but if you upload all this to the cloud, then it will create higher latency. If you can do this on the edge and it will create lower latency, for the cloud, it will provide storage and large scale computing, but for age, it will focus on real-time low latency. And then we have this Lightweight version. Here, a research report shows that age computing has entered industry high-speed developing period. And this very famous investment research institute says that it will develop following a spiral route. Previously, you will have one big machine in your lab to process some tasks, and then in the 1980s, you have all the species. And now, you have the mobile internet and then by 2020, it will actuate in the new era of intelligence. And by 2020, 50% of the data will be transferred from the data center to the age end. Now, it's experiencing a very important construction period. It's developing very rapidly. Now, we have more and more age devices like artificial intelligence, microservices, standardized protocol, etc. All of this will increase the complexity of computing. You have different kind of hardware devices. By open source, we can reduce the complexity of management and integration. In this open source community, all the companies, vendors, you can work together to work on the code. You will do some testing in the community, and this can better manage the complexity. ICT infrastructure now is open to many industries and that will promote the digitalization transformation of many industries. And finally, you have the results as the right graph shows here. It will accelerate the business transformation. And in this case, the industries can invest more on ICT. Before this, you might have, for example, a patch, open stake, foundry, etc. And a kernel and age stack, they are more like end-to-end integrated community. And FN is like an M-brother to cover all this and to solve this fragmented issue. It will cover the high-value scenarios like enterprise, industry, end-to-end and end-to-end testing, validation, etc. And also age computing OS. On the right, it's the structure of LFH. On the top, you have the board. Below that, you have the technical adversary. Age and home age. All those are under the LFM banner. LFH now has 63 members including Huawei. Under the LFH, there are five communities. I only list three here. And there will be more companies that will join this umbrella. So this is the first release of a kernel incubating project. And it has moved calculating computing capability from the center to the edge. And here is a major scenario, such as the Huawei edge lights. Here is the structure of the alien. Here is the major architecture. So on the edge side, there will be a local data center. So on the center, there will be a role to manage the alias nodes and also the crucial data management. These are edge sites. For example, the gateways with the sensors and devices. So this is a simple VRAR monitoring device. So it's an end-to-end design. So it supports the structures you can see here. And there's a lightweight virtual structure using a large scale operating system. Because on the edge, there's only an LT gateway if you use a large operator. And also there's a lightweight pass. It complements the lightweight. And moving to the upper level, there's tailoring on the lightweight. And also here is a scenario application. So the first phase, the phase one alias has been released. Supporting the edge cost of management and monitoring. Also support from this cluster. This is the structure image. The edge pass. Well, Coopee Edge is also a lightweight edge. This is an Elliott lightweight video monitoring plan. Here we have some problems on the edge side. The resources are limited. But we still need to process the data. Not all the video traffic are set to the cloud. So our solution is to trim the edge knots container and make it lightweight. So if there are other applications and demands, there will be other customized trimming. This is the Elliott video monitoring topology. So the manager is on the cloud or on the data center including three components. First, second, and third. And on the edge knot, there is a nice part. Such as the face recognition function and also the TV device. First, we need to integrate these knots and make them correspond with the lower level video streaming. Then we can do the connection here. So after the face recognition, the data will be set. These knots will be refreshed. And the matches meet the standard. And the data will be sent to the central cloud and stored. For example, if there's on a roll, there are 7 cameras. So after the data is processed on the edge, these data will be released and sent to the Elliott manager into database. If someone has one spot, monitored by one camera on a road, then at the time he was spotted at another by another camera, then the matching can be realized through the data storage. And then we can track the path that this person walks on the road. And also, using Prometheus, we're looking to resource monitoring on ALS bus. So here is your UI. We can monitor the resource usage condition. So at last, I want to say these join Elliott's and now contribute to this new platform. So the key takeaways of Elliott's includes we focus on the lightweight edge platform and also IOT gateway. And also, we have very good commercialization pathways. So welcome for your joining. And so we're going to do commercialization together. So since here I represent the speaker today to do the speech. So if you have any questions, please send the questions to this email address. Thank you.

Time for our weekly League of Ireland chat, and I'm delighted to say former Funharps goalkeeper Gavin Cullen joins us once again. Gavin, welcome back to Highland. Awesome, thanks for having me. Gavin, later we'll talk about the FA Cup draw where you're on the road at St. Moctis, but you're joining us just a couple of days out from a northwest derby, where Funharps, of course, took on Derry City. Now, I've spoke to Ollie Horgan already this weekend. Ollie has sort of played down the significance of this game about the battle for sixth place that it's more important at the end of the season where they're sitting. But listen, you've been involved in derby games. How big a match is this on Friday for the Harps? Oh, it's a huge match. This season, I suppose, the mentality switched over the last season or two to Funharps Derry in terms of Funharps going, playing Derry and even Keele, and believing in getting results and getting results for years and years. Funharps struggled to beat Derry, to compete with them. And at the minute, the last few years, they're on leaving Keele or even an upward spiral. And at this moment in time, I know there's only a point between them and the league, but I think Harps are stronger. I think they have a stronger squad and stronger team than Derry. So there's no reason in the world why they can't go and take a three-point of Friday night. Yeah, it's interesting to note that Harps are the last team to beat Derry. They've been in a great run since they have Gavin. Yeah, they've turned around massively. They seem to have confidence since Rory Higgins has come in and about a belief in themselves. I felt at the start of the season, the squad was a bit lightweight and a bit short, but they definitely have turned it around a bit. Now you do get that reaction with the new manager, and obviously a lot of them will be playing to stay there and to show Rory what they can do. So that's obviously given them a shot in the arm, but whether it's sustainable with that squad, time will tell. I do believe Funharps are physically too strong for them. And up in Funpark, I think that'll factor into the game. Yeah, will that be the talent factor when it boils down to it? Could we have a really, really tight game where the physicality in the match is going to have a huge contribution to what could be just a 1-0 or a 2-1 victory, Gavin? Yeah, it will be tight. There's no two ways about it. There's no amount of standing. Set pieces you would expect Harps to have the physical edge. But then again, in their last home game in Slago, it was set pieces that undone Harps. So you don't know. Derri will be lively. They're playing with a bit of confidence. They've picked up a right few results recently. Harps haven't, although they got a real confidence boost and result the way they were over last week. So look, if my money was on anybody, it'll be Harps. But we could be seeing a draw there very handy. Yeah, the thing about Harps this season, when they go 1-0 behind or when they go 1-0 down, the game's not over for them. That's what it was like in previous seasons. There's a confidence there in the group that they can pull it back and particularly when you've got Adam Foley in the form that he's in, Gavin? Yeah, 100%. There's a bit of steel in the squad and there's depth in the squad as we keep talking about and they've loads of experience. So they know that while they're still on the game and they can hang in the game, they'll get their opportunities. They'll get their chances to get back in. And they have been taking them in fairness. As you say, Adam Foley has been superb this season. His goalscoring record has been first-class. He probably scored half of Harps' goals or more to this point. So if he can keep that sort of form for the rest of the season, no Harps will stay up bad league. Yeah, it's a busy period. There's three games in seven days. Harps have to go to St Pat's in London and they've got Longford back again. I suppose 2-1's out of three wouldn't be a bad week's work for Olly Hargan side, would it, Gavin? 2-1's out of three would be brilliant, you know. But I don't think they'll even be looking at Monday night at this stage with the Derey game. I think they'll be putting all their eggs in one basket to try and get the three points from Derey. And I suppose from the same perspective, Derey are making slag of Rovers on Monday as well. So two big derbies for them that Rory Higgins and Rafa Catero will be targeting something from. So if they've come out of it with two draws against those two sides, that would be a huge period in the season for them, Gavin. I think it would, but at the same time, I would say they would take 1-1 and 1-2 feet because they would be a point better off. So it'll be a yard stick for Rory and Rafa in terms of where the players are at in big games. And the pressure and the derby and stuff like that. So it'll be a real test of character and test of the players to play in these games. And if they come through it with a couple of results, like it sets them up lovely for the rest of the season as well. You mentioned earlier that you were in commentary for that slaggle game along with German. Do you think Harps might have learned from the mistakes from that night because that's that's a sore point while Harps losing that game in the manner that they did. Yeah, definitely. I felt Harps with a better side over the 90 minutes. I think in the first half, Tom Diaz, basically, and Barry McMeek caused a lot of problems for Slaggle and they definitely shouldn't have done the break. A couple of goals to the good. Must have chances. Ed McGinty was excellent in the night. Probably stole or won the points for Slaggle. Slaggle looked very good. They look strong. They look resilient. But Harps were actually better. If Harps play like that tomorrow night, I think I think they'll definitely get the three points. Learn from it. It's hard to learn. I think the basic individual errors that they're conceding the goals from. So in terms of learning from it, it's hard actually for Oli or Higsey to bring that in the training and get rid of them. They either happen or they don't.  So the rest of the game is Gavin in the Premier Division. There's a couple of crackers. So there is. We'll go to Slaggle. They've got some Patrick's Athletic at Richmond Park. Two teams battling, of course, in the top three. And you can sham it over to your head into Waterford, who are down at the other end of the table. But listen, Slaggle will be looking to bounce back after the defeat at the hands of Drohada the last time. And they'll be looking to do it in the style of Dublin. Yeah. Surprise. Surprise result against Drohada, but at the same time, Drohada are sitting fourth. So they definitely have something about about them this season from coming up from the first division. Slaggle have been. Probably the most consistent team in the league so far. They deserve to be on top. I would say it's probably a bit of a blip, but again, St. Pat's is a big test from on Friday. If they come away from Richmond with three points there, they're back on the roll again, you know. Yeah. Bows will be looking to close that gap and fourth against Drohada. Deleman parks the venue of that. That's a sort of game you could end up on a draw. You could say in a draw, Gavin. Could, yeah. But again, I think Bows might turn Drohada over. Bows have been a weeb and inconsistent for their own leg, and they were one of the top teams at the start of the season. Serious squad of players, serious ability. I think there'd be harps four and all down there a month or so ago, which was where you would expect from Bows. But they've been up and down and inconsistent, and it's shown in this league position and around Derri and harps as well. So I think Bows could go on a run at this point. Yeah, and you expect Rovers to come through against Waterford. Would it be handy enough for them? It should be, but Rovers haven't been just as good as expected. They've sort of huffed and puffed and scored late goals for Wunners and stuff like that. But I think everybody's money is still on them to go on and win this league, you know. Yeah. Is the move by Dundalk to bring back Vinny Perth a good move for the club? They're taking on Longford, and they've really had a dreadful season. Yeah. So they have a good move. Is it the right one for them? I don't know. I really don't know what's going on behind the scenes. I don't know. A couple of years ago Vinny Perth was within a kick of a ball of one-the-treble. No, granted, it was probably left over from Stephen Kenny's squad and team at that time, but they were still flying. Second season, I think Rovers, they got sacked last season. Rovers went on the league. But what's happened to Dundalk and with the players? And it looks like they've signed a lot of, you know, substandard players for their level this season. And where they're in the league is very surprising. So there's a lot of things going on behind the scenes. For Vinny Perth to come back, was he doing a good enough job at the time to stay there? Probably. So why was he sacked or why did he go and for himself to come back he hasn't worked since. So like he probably has agreements in place and whatever that they're going to back him and hopefully they do. But it's a strange one that it came full circle back to Vinny Perth and there was nobody else in contention. Yeah, we'll move away from the Premier Division of the League of Ireland, go to the FAA Cup. The draw was made this week, both yourselves at Cockhouse Celtic and Bonagie and Aitid have been drawn away. You know, St Mocked us pretty well. You've played them on three occasions in the past, Gavin. So what was your initial thoughts when the draw was made? I suppose another one away from home, first of all? First of all, yeah, away from home. We suppose it was well documented. We don't have much luck in terms of national competitions and getting home draws. But it is what it is. We have to deal with it. We've probably got the hardest draw, possibly. Mocked us are probably one of the top teams in the country at intermediate level. They do invest a lot in their playing squad. They have quite a lot of League of Ireland or ex-League of Ireland players and really good young players. So tough, tough draw. We don't know. It's 12 months since we played competitive football. It's really lottery to see where we're at and probably where they're at as well in terms of going on a pitch. So we can't judge on the past. But look, we'll go down there. We'll go try them on the game. The game has to be played, they'll finish. There's no replays. So that'll be a different sort of mindset. A lot of times you go to Dublin and like to take them home for a replay and try and do the business at home. But this is to be extra time penalty. So it's a big test. It's a good test for a lot of our new players and young players to see the level that can go two ways. We can go down there and get a result in one and we'll be delighted and we'll take it into the new season. Or we go down there and we lose the game. But it might set the standard of where we need to get there and open our eyes up. So we'll go with quick prepares best we can. We'll get the boys ready and we'll give it a go. But it is tough. I think with all accounts, the Lancers Senior League clubs are playing away at Friendlies at the minute. There are a couple of competitions doing there and their league actually starts the week before the FA Cup game. So that's a huge advantage. Our league is not going to start probably at the end of August. So we're sort of well behind in terms of preparation. We haven't played any Friendlies yet. We're struggling to get Friendlies. So it's not ideal, but Bonnig is the same, obviously. They're playing at Minnesar University. So there's apparently a decent side as well. It's a tough game for Bonnig, but all we can do is do our best at this point and we all give it a good go. Yeah, well, that's the best of luck, Gavin. With the FA Cup, we'll be talking more about that. I'm sure closer to the time. That's the week ending of Sunday, the 11th of July. But just finally, back to the Premier Division. You're sticking with the Harps 1 on Friday night in the Big Derby against Darby, are you? I'd go with the Harps 1 just. I think just the mate of that, we physicalise a lot more experience in the squad. Barry McMean, Mark Coyle are really on top of their game in the midfield. I think they might dominate that area. And physically, the back four are very strong. But again, Darry well-capable of causing not a shock, but no getting a result. But I think Harps will do the business. Okay, listen, Gavin, it's always good to talk to you. Thanks for joining us. Thank you, Essy. Good man, thanks.


This is a Witchspace news special bulletin. I'm Commander Burr Frontier just dropped an announcement out of the blue about what they're calling the April update Which is coming to the game on April the 23rd Aimed primarily at new players and the more inexperienced commanders the majority of the changes some of which are fairly radical in places Are designed to help get new people in the door and Hopefully turn the current learning wall into much more of a learning curve in order to keep them there for longer A post on the official forums opens by talking about what frontier are calling a beginner's zone a collection of star systems that appears to have been added to the Game that can only be accessed by pilots until they earn their first combat trade or exploration rank Authorities in these systems will provide missions that can be easily completed by something like a sidewinder New commanders will also have a reduced re-by-cost until they earn their first pilots Federation rank in any of the three main disciplines Further to the new systems a new advanced docking computer is being added to the game as well as allowing you to dock on auto This new module will also undock your ship and get you through the mail slot unscathed as a further leg up to new players It will be added as standard to all newly purchased small ships All newly purchased small ships will also now come with a free supercruise assist module Targeting a destination in system and aligning your ship with it whilst in supercruise will allow the module to maintain the correct speed Doing away with the dreaded loop of shame To help accommodate the new modules small ships will be retrofitted with two additional size one optional slots Medium and large ships will each receive one additional size one optional slot Some additional information has been added to the navigation panel in your ships including a new threat level indicator Similar in style to the threat level indicator used in unidentified signal sources This new threat level will help a pilot assess whether a system is of an appropriate level for their current combat rank Or whether they might want to consider giving the system a bit more of a wide berth until they're more experienced Commanders will now also have access to a new players handbook from within the cockpit similar in style to the codex The handbook is described as a treasure trove of information about activities and opportunities within the game Again helping new players find out more about the game and how to interact with elite complex galaxy The commodity market screen is getting an overhaul with more detailed information being added to commodities to help traders find a suitable market Or finding a commodity needed for a mission requirement What frontier calls interstellar initiatives are being added to the game The developers are promising more details on these in a couple of weeks But essentially these are multi-week in-game events that will be at the very least Adding to the old community goal system if indeed not replacing them entirely Frontier are also promising a revamped main menu layout Access to training missions and challenge scenarios right from your cockpit loading screen tips and of course some bug fixes There'll be a content reveal live stream going over the update on Thursday the 18th of April at 1800 UTC It remains to be seen what effect the changes will have on the new player experience I have to say I think anything that helps new players in the game can only be a good thing and Speaks to frontiers future commitment to elite You wouldn't be looking to bring in new people and keep new people in the game If you didn't want or need your game to have long legs I didn't doubt that commitment personally, but I'm quite heartened to see it reiterated nonetheless. I Do have some concerns around the starter system idea just from what we've heard already I personally think that when new players are concerned elite has somewhat of a ganker problem and creating easily Accessible systems for any players in the game has the potential to create a mecca for that culture of seal clubbing But we'll have to see how that pans out and what frontiers plans are specifically the auto undock and supercruise Assistance will undoubtedly prove Controversial to the existing more hardcore crowd and will I'm sure generate some salt in the community Personally, I've lost at least five friends who are hardcore gamers to the existing elite learning precipice That has to change and that change must start somewhere Overall, I'm excited to see the first of this year's promised updates and eager to hear some more specific details on the live stream on the 18th That's it for this bulletin if you enjoy our content Then please hit like and subscribe and remember to hit the little bell icon to get a notification next time we upload a new video You can also find us on Twitter patreon discord and Instagram links to all those are in the description below We'll be back later this week with more videos until then 07 commanders follow the greens on the way out and do keep clear of the toast rack We very much look forward to seeing you next time

Iran has pledged retaliation for Israel's deadly attack on its diplomatic mission in Syria's Damascus city. A senior Iranian official, Yehia Rahim Safavi, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader has said that none of Israel's embassies were safe anymore. Iran's Tasneem news agency reported on Sunday that Yehia Rahim Safavi made the remarks following a suspected Israeli strike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1 that killed at least seven officials including Mohammad Reza Zahidi, a top commander in Iran's elite revolutionary guards, IRGC, and senior commander Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi. Mohammad Bagheri, chief of staff of Iran's armed forces in a speech on Saturday threatened the harshest possible response to Israel in retaliation for the attack on its diplomatic mission in Syria. �We have learned from Qasem Soleimani that we determine the time and type of operation,� he said, adding that Israel will regret attacking Iranian diplomatic building. In response to these threats, Israel's defense minister Yov Galan said on Sunday that his country was ready to handle any scenario that may arise with Iran. Meanwhile, Jada Iran reported on Sunday, citing an anonymous diplomatic source that Iran has informed the US it would refrain from responding to the Israeli attack if a ceasefire in Gaza is reached. The source added that if America succeeds in containing the situation, it will be a great success for the Biden administration and we can build on that. Iran's supreme leader Kamine had earlier pledged retaliation after the attack in Damascus, voiling that Israel would be punished by the hands of our courageous men.


I'm moving right now. Yes friends, hello and welcome to the Music Zone. I'm Pitz Quattrone. We are broadcasting from Montpelier, Vermont, right downtown the heart of the Green Mountains. And the Music Zone with Pitz Quattrone is brought to you by our friends at ArrowMed Essentials, specializing in CBD tinctures and pain-reducing topicals, essential oils and diffusers, organic Vermont-grown hemp flower, glassworks for smoking, located at 73 State Street in downtown Montpelier, online at arrowmedessentials.com and by phone<PHONE_NUMBER>. Remember to tell Lauren and her staff when you stop into ArrowMed that you heard about them right here on the Music Zone with Pitz Quattrone. That's ArrowMed Essentials. Well, it is the pilot broadcast of the Music Zone right here from Orca Media in downtown Montpelier. And I thought I would introduce my good friend and he's a dear friend for many years. He's a soul blues R&B performer, guitarist, vocalist, band leader, composer, Vermont's own Dave Keller. How are you Dave? Thanks, Pitz. That's a great introduction, man. How could I not be doing well after an intro like that? Man, what else can I do? I can cook. Well, I thought I'd build it up for you. I appreciate it. No, I'm doing well. It's great to be here with you. I'm really proud and happy to be invited to be the first guest on your awesome new show, the Music Zone with Pitz Quattrone. Thank you. Well, thanks for taking some time out and being with us.  COVID has been really tough for all of us.  Tell us about what was happening last March while that came to be. Well, I was with my band down in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, which is the heart of soul country, Memphis, Muscle Shoals, Mississippi, places like that. We're playing a gig, Champions Fried Chicken Shack. Nice. And the very next day, everything started shutting down. We started heading back north.  And they all basically just went right down the toilet. So ever since then, mostly been at home. I did some outdoor gigs later this summer once things started to open up a little bit for outdoor gigs. But I've been working on my music. I just put out a brand new CD, a benefit CD, which I'm sure you'll tell folks about. But I'm really excited about that. So I'm promoting that mostly. And you were planning on touring Europe? I was supposed to be in Germany, Switzerland, France, Spain, last April. That all fell through as well because of COVID. Jeez. Well, one thing I noticed that a creative thing you did was online, you were giving away or raising money for some type of mustache trimming exhibition. What was that? It was my great mustache auction. I actually was able to grow mustache. That's not actually difficult for me. I grow facial hair fairly easily. But I have never really grown such a substantial mustache. I think it was about a month's time. And I sold the mustache in an auction. And I raised $250 for a great charity, helping immigrants who don't have enough money to pay their rent and things like that. And then I also raised some money for myself. Wow, that's a great thing. I remember watching that was a whole lot of fun. It's on YouTube, actually. You can look it up. Dave Keller Mustache Auction. It's quite something, let me tell you. All right, so you folks out there, check out the YouTube for Dave Keller's Mustache Auction. All right, so we're gonna jump over to the music studio now for a tune. One of the songs that's on your new album, you get what you give is the album. And I know it's a special, all kinds of guests from all over the country. And we're gonna hear about all those details and what would happen with that and how that came to be. But what is the song we're gonna hear now? We're gonna hear Land of the Lonely. Land of the Lonely. Land of the Lonely. Dave Keller from You Get What You Give. One street and light, ain't much to see in the old night. Just the darkness and the fog and the houses of people like me. House on the street, just like a book, be too scared to look. And welcome back. That was Dave and the Land of the Lonely with one of your good buddy and who tells everyone about that. So the album is an album of duets and on this particular song, it featured my buddy, Johnny Rawls, who's been a really great mentor to me. He's a Mississippi Soul blues man. He's been on the road for about 50 years. He was the former band leader with O.V. Wright, one of the greatest soul singers of all time. And just a great guy. He's been a really great friend to me and he was glad to participate in the album. All the funds from the album sales are going to help raise money for racial justice and equity nonprofits. So, yeah. Okay, so how did you figure out which organizations to give money to? I actually just asked the artists of color who were on the CD what their recommendations were. And so we got five different groups to divide up 20% each group, basically. Wow, that's great. People order, they can order on the website and 20 bucks from each CD sale goes directly to these groups. Divide it up, five ways. So every artist, studios, the manufacturing, promotion, everyone is volunteering for this project. Well, all the artists donated their time. And Sugarhouse Sound works down in Matter of Valley, donated a week's worth of recording time, which is super generous. Roger and Eric. Yep, Roger and Eric. Roger Stiles and Eric Bigsby. Sixby, rather. And up in Burlington, Tank Recording, Ben Collette and Rob O'Day donated about a week's worth of mixing and mastering time as well. And then, yeah, we had to pay for some stuff. So like the factory obviously wasn't gonna give us the CDs for free. So I was able to raise money from a lot of my hardcore fans, donated money specifically to help offset some of the costs of the project that we couldn't get donated. Okay. So thank you fans. Yeah. And so tell us about some of the other artists that are on this. Sure. I mean, when people listen to it, the first song is Anika Chambers, a really incredible soul blues woman from Texas, from Houston. A young woman really kind of outspoken on issues of race and just a fantastic singer. Carly Harvey from DC. She's DC's Queen of the Blues. Cool. We got her on there. We got Annie Mack, who's a good friend of mine from Minnesota. She grew up in Minneapolis where George Floyd was murdered. So that seemed like particularly apropos. Before you go, let me interrupt. Yeah. You mentioned George Floyd. This particular recording did the murder of George make this more in the front burner for you? Is that why, like, oh, I gotta do something? Or what gave you, what was that spark? Right. Well, honestly, it was inspired by that, you know, by that event, by the murder. Yeah. I wasn't really planning to do a record, honestly. I was, you know, at home after all my gigs got canceled because of COVID. And I had a lot of time in my hands. I was watching the news and I just thought as a white soul blues musician who's made his entire living and career off of playing essentially black music with, you know, being mentored by black musicians. Yeah. You know, inspired by so much great music from, you know, the black community over the years, whether it's blues or gospel or soul or R&B. I thought, what can I do to help? You know, I think, you know, white artists really need to step forward in ways that, you know, might be even uncomfortable and risky for them. I don't think the problems of racism are gonna be ended by people of color being the only ones speaking out. Really, it's systemic and all of us white folks need to just acknowledge that and step forward and do what we can. So I thought, well, what can I do? What are my skills? And my skills are writing songs and playing them and bringing people together to make records. So I thought, what if I do an album with my friends? And we donate all the profits to groups that are working to end racial injustice and inequality. Fantastic. Yeah, it takes all of us. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I think a lot of white people listening might be like, well, you know, it doesn't really affect me that much. Like, you know, maybe they live in Vermont and, you know, it doesn't affect you on a daily basis, but I think it's really important that we listen to the voices of people of color both within Vermont and outside of Vermont and just trust that they're telling us their truth.  You know, it's the same thing.  I mean, he's experienced some serious discrimination here in Vermont.  It's incredibly sad to me. And so when he- And he's right here in Montpelier. Yeah, yeah, he lives out in the woods a little ways outside Montpelier.  You know, the stuff that happens actually happens to him. And I don't see it because it doesn't affect me on a daily basis, but it affects my friends, you know. And, you know, I just feel like it's important that we start speaking up more. If we have a boy, you know, I have a, the ability to let people know. I have a lot of fans and, you know, I hope if they love blues music, how can you not be anti-racist? You know, the music of blues was created out of racism. It was a response to racism. It was a response to oppression. Yeah, yeah. So there's, tell me more about the guest. It sounds like there's some Vermonters on this, but also people from all over the country. Right, so we have Chad Hollister from Vermont. We have, you know, your buddy in mind, Chad. Great, you know, kind of acoustic rock guy. We have Two Cent St. Negritude doing a spoken word piece with me that we did very impromptu. It was really fun. My national steel guitar and harmonica. Oh, so that sounds like it's more of a scale down approach than a full band on its side. Yeah, but there's a real variety of stuff. I mean, there is one tune with just me and Ira Friedman, my longtime keyboardist. He plays the grand piano on a tune called The Spark. So that one technically is not like a vocal duet, but it's sort of like me and Ira doing a duet or piano and vocals. So the name of the album is You Get What You Give and Where Can Folks Find It? Well, they can find it locally at Book Speeler in Montpelier on Langdon Street and also Exile on Main Street in Barrie. But they can find it at DaveKeller.com. There's a, DaveKeller.com. The good starting point. I will personally sign and mail you a copy. That sounds good. And a couple more folks. Joe Lewis Walker's on there. He's a blues Hall of Famer. He's based in New York now, but he grew up in the Bay Area. He was kind of the same kind of grouping as like, you know, Robert Cray and he used to be roommates with Michael Bloomfield. You know, really one of the top names in the blues, you know, by anyone's standards. And Joe was generous enough to volunteer his time. Trudy Lynn, Blues Queen of Texas, unbelievable singer and so soulful, she's on there. Yeah, just, you know, a whole mix of people. And is it Brother Bob White? Brother Bob White is on a gospel track. Yep, he's 89 years old. No, he just turned 90. He's 90. That's beautiful. Yep. And we have ages 18 through 89 on there. Oh my God. Because we have a fellow who's the grandson of a guy that I wrote songs with, Darrell Carter's grandson. Darrell and I wrote 17 years together and deeper than the eye can see. There have been a couple of my previous albums. And his grandson's 18 lives in Memphis and he played the guitar solo on a tune that Don Tyler Watson duets with me on. She's a great blues woman out of Montreal. So his grandson, Vince Allen, is on God is Love, Love is Everything. Okay. Yeah, like an Ernie Isley vibe on that one. That was wonderful. I love this, there's so many things I love about the description and the music on this album. For me, I love an album that has a variety of stuff. And not just like as window dressing, but this is like serious musical variety on this album. And all pretty much almost every state in the country. Yeah, we hit it from like Montreal to Florida to Texas to New York to DC to Memphis to Kansas City. Yeah, Minnesota. Beautiful, yeah. You get what you give folks, davekeller.com. You can find the album there and all the artists volunteered their time going towards great causes to make this country and this world a better place. Can I mention one more thing? Yes. My buddy Jim Gallagher and I have put together a video that by the time this show comes out it will be released for one of the songs it's called The Evil That Men Do. And people should look for it on YouTube. All right, Jim Gallagher, the Montpelier videographer master extraordinaire. The famed master behind many of your masterworks, Pitz. If you've seen my cheese steaks video, the moving video, lot of the live ones, Jim Gallagher has done that for me and you. Yep, exactly.  Does great work. So what's the name of the song? The Evil That Men Do and it features four of the singers that are on the record with duets, Johnny Rawls, Anika Chambers, Annie Mack and who am I missing? Trudy Lin. Fantastic. All right, and when is that coming out? That should be out in a couple of weeks. Okay, great. All right, so it's time for another trip over to the magical music studio. And this time I join you on Didgeridoo on a number and what song are we gonna sing? What are we gonna do as the years go passing by? It's a great tune, Albert King kind of made it famous. I think it goes back to Fenton Robinson. I think he's the one who wrote it. But I've always loved this tune, yeah. As the years go passing by, Dave Keller, Pitz Quattrone, right here on the Music Zone with Pitz Quattrone. There is nothing I can do if you leave me here to cry.  Okay friends, welcome back to the sound studio here in Montpelier on Pitz Quattrone. This is the Music Zone. Today's guest, Dave Keller, joining us for the maiden voyage of the Music Zone. And so Dave, I know things are slow right now. Let's wave the magic wand and say COVID is gone. What's your first move? Oh, I wanna just get out and play for even two people. I wouldn't even care. I just wanna be out playing with my band and getting to see people dance and hug and have fun and get sweaty on the dance floor, all of that. All right, cool. And how about maybe some of the things that got canceled, such as the Southeastern, Mid-Atlantic tour, the European tour. Is there some like, hey, when things start to get better, give me a call Dave and we'll rebook something. Yeah, I'm looking forward to going back over to Europe. I've never played in Europe. So this will be the first time and they're being very patient. Of course, they can't really travel much either. Everybody kinda understands, it's just the way it is. But I'm looking forward to getting out there and playing. My band and I were really on a roll before this all hit. I've got Ira Friedman on keyboards as I have for the last 14 years, I think it is now. Jay Gleason, my original drummer from the band back in 96, has rejoined me the last couple of years. Super funky, super dance band now with him on drums. And Alex Budney, the great bass player out of Mortown, Vermont. People have seen him with Seth Yagavoni or Craig Mitchell's Prince tribute, Josh Panda. Great bass player. So we're really excited, it's really kind of gelled. Yeah, so it sounds like that four piece band is the core of what you bring on the road. Exactly, exactly, yeah. Okay, good. All right, so that's Dave Keller here on the pilot broadcast of the Music Zone. Dave, thank you so much. It's the first show. So things are a little bit wacky and we're working out some kinks but I wanna thank you for coming out and spending some time with us. Well, it's my pleasure, man. And like your mask says, you gotta make lemonade out of lemons. And you know what, lemons have pits in them. Oh! It's like a double meaning. That's perfect. Perfect, man, it's so good to be your friend, man. Thanks for having me on the show. Well, thank you, Dave. Yeah, I thought I'd wear the dancing lemons today and make some juice. All right, friends, so that's Dave. We'll be back next time but before we head out, I wanna thank our sponsor one more time and that is ArrowMed Essentials right here in downtown Montpelier, specializing in CBD tinctures and pain-reducing topicals, essential oils and diffusers, organic Vermont grown hemp flower, glassworks for smoking, ArrowMed Essentials located downtown, 73 Main Street in Montpelier, arrowmedessentials.com is their site and you can, they can be reached by phone,<PHONE_NUMBER> and remember to tell Lauren and her staff that you heard about them right here on the Music Zone with Pitts Quattrone and that is ArrowMed Essentials. I'm Pitts, thank you so much for joining me. I'll talk to you next time on the Music Zone with Pitts Quattrone.


The weather conditions were ideal once again on the Asian tours return to the SGM Macau open and the players took advantage of those conditions some wonderful low-scoring. Scott Hend with this second into 15, struggling a little bit to make the cap the two-time champion. This is a lovely shot, he hold the putt for Birdie, but then had an anxious wait to see whether he'd done enough to be here for the weekend. No such concerns for the excellent young Hong Kong player, Taiichi Ko. The Asian Games gold medalist just a couple of weeks ago, this into the 7th. He would make Birdie under 69 for 7 under for Taiichi Ko. Scotland's David Drysdale made nine birdies in a 62 yesterday, they just wouldn't come today. This at the 8th set up his only birdie of the day, he had to settle for an even par 71 and a total of nine under par. Jay Paul Lee looking to finish his round with a birdie at nine, didn't quite make that one but still made eight birdies. 65 and 11 under par, he's high on the leaderboard. As is the Informed Korean, Jae Woonk Om, a double bogey 10, but then made five birdies on the way in including this one at the 15th. A 65, 12 under for Om. An Informed Korean, an Informed Tai, Pum, Sax, and seen 10 birdies today and a 62, including this one to get to 13 under par. But the man they're going to have to catch is the highest ranked player in the field, the world number 46, Min Woo Lee of Australia. That was his approach into nine and he played so much good golf today, fought his way around, played some lovely iron shots and hold the birdies, this his 7th of the day. Didn't have a bogey in the card, a 64, 16 under par and Min Woo Lee leads by three going into the weekend.


Hi Paul, this is Ashley with Oxmo Toyota.  Thank you so much for your recent interest in a new 2016 RAF4 hybrid. When you get a chance, please give me a call. My number is<PHONE_NUMBER> or you can also email me back. Thanks. Bye.


You got a lot of people out here that play college sports, right? But they never got a chance. Like him, he played for, he, but he didn't have a chance. He was above. But Pennsylvania school too, you know, Cabrini, nobody knew about him.


Hi everyone, so still talking about binary search tree data structure. We've talked about how to insert into the tree We've talked about the various Traversals you can do of a tree and now let's talk about its namesake the search. How do you search the tree? well searching is Fairly straightforward what we want to do is we want to know if a target item or a target key is somewhere in the binary search tree and What's going to make this relatively easy is that this tree is already sorted the binary search tree property says that if you started a node all The values to the left of that node and its left subtree are less than it and all the values to the right in this right subtree Are greater than it and that makes the search process relatively straightforward and in fact either the iterative algorithm or the recursive algorithm They're both pretty Elegant so let's just kind of make sure we understand how to do the algorithm. What's it going to look like, right? So Here's the root of our tree. We've got a bunch of state abbreviations here And what we want to do is kind of similar to the insert algorithm We want to check the value that we're searching for and say is it less than or greater than or equal to the item here and Depending on the answer to that question that will decide where we go to look next, okay? So if we want to search for Delaware DE we're going to start our search at the root of course and First we're going to go where well DE is less than KS. So where's the lesser value is going to be it's going to be in The left subtree so we go left DE is less than Georgia. Okay, go left DE is greater than CT alphabetically. So we go down here and voila. We've found it, right? So how many nodes do we visit? We visited one the root two Three and then on the fourth node. We actually found it, right? So we visited four nodes here But the logic the logic is You know is the value I'm looking for less than greater than or equal to The current node, right? So for Kansas when we start out Kansas. Well, it's not less than it's not greater than It's equal to right. So we only visited one node there the root node Okay, how about Louisiana? How many nodes do we visit? Well, we start here and change the color up start here at the root and LA is greater than KS. So we need to go right LA is less than PA. So we got to go left and LA is equal to this value, right? So we visited one two three nodes here Now how about a node that's not there, right? And how do we know? That the node isn't there. Well, let's walk through it. What should we do? One more color. How about what is this purple? Okay, let's go purple NC so NC is not here. We're gonna start our search at the root. NC is greater than KS. So we go right We're looking for NC here NC would be less than PA. So we would go left NC would be greater than LA. So we would go right NC would be greater than ME Right, but we cannot go right here because there is no child of ME Right, so that's how you know when something is not in the binary search tree when you're looking for it and you need to go in either left or right, but you can't because there's no child there, right? so We visited one two three four nodes and we know Because there is no child here But because there is no right child of ME We know that NC cannot be in this binary search tree okay so Iowa is also not in here and What will happen? We'll go Kansas Georgia It Hawaii and then we want to go right from Hawaii, but we can't so here also we've gone three But because there is no right child of Iowa Or excuse me of Hawaii We know that Iowa cannot be in this BST, right? And this is all made possible Because of the way that we inserted into the tree because every time we inserted we maintain that binary search tree property All right, so Let's answer these questions down here. How many nodes are in the tree? Quick count will tell you that there's 10 of them How many comparisons are required in the worst case? Well in the worst case we have to go all the way down to the bottom of the tree We have to go to the deepest node in the tree Okay, in this case in this tree that deepest node is going to be four levels deep, right main Delaware Arkansas these are the Arkansas. Yeah, or no Alaska. These are the the deepest ones, right? And they have depth one two three Because they are you know you visit four nodes the root and then them All right, so how does the number of comparisons relate to the height of the tree? Well, the number of comparisons is The height in the worst case plus one I should put worst case in here and I will do that before I give it out to you guys How does the worst case number of comparisons relate to the height of the tree? Well, it's the height of the tree plus one right the height of this tree is one two three Worst case height plus one. All right So given that draw a tree for which the big O of search is big O of n Well, that's going to be one of the trees Like this right where you've inserted it in order or in a reverse order, and it's just a long chain Okay, so That's not a good scenario. So again, hopefully it's kind of Apparent that the goal for your tree is that it looks like a tree that it's not a chain of things Okay. All right, so let's go write our let's go revisit our find algorithm here and fill it in All right, so we're going to search and we're going to search recursively. So let's think in this case Let's think for base cases first. So what's the base case? Well, we're going to just keep calling search on the descending nodes, okay, so if current if our current node Is none. All right, let's think of this case. What happens? Well, that's going to be our base case. We're going to say the item is not there We have called search over and over and over again, and we didn't find it on the other hand if cur.data is equal to the target Hey, then we found it right Return true. It's in Our binary search tree Otherwise, now we need to do our some other comparisons, right? If the target is greater than data, what do we want to do? We'll search for it in The right subtree and what are we searching for? We're searching for the target. Here is our recursive call else Well, the only other option is that it's less than current.data, so we should search in the left-hand side of the tree Okay, so this is the recursive structure now the reason I have this cur is none base case is because you know, I don't look at These left and right nodes before I jump I'm just saying hey jump down into them And if they are no if they're empty Return false it gives me just a little bit more elegant code on the recursive side if I do it that way Alright, so this is our recursive code Let's hop over to our Python for just a second and implement find It's going to look a whole lot Excuse me for a second. It's going to look a whole lot like that pseudo code. We just wrote So here's find right and what we are going to do is you're going to use this find method in calls to get item Which supports calls of this form, you know tree sub the key give me the thing there and also contains Right, so you're going to call find here. Okay, so find for us in our tree map is Find the key in the tree map and return its associated value All right, so let's write our Algorithm raise a key error if the key is not in the tree map. Okay so we're going to do that same thing where our base case is if We get all the way to a leaf and we try and descend we wind up calling find where the current node is none Okay, so if the current node If the current node is none, what does that mean means the key isn't in the map We've searched for it, but we've not found it and I tell you in this case Raise a key error just because this is what a Python dictionary would do Else if the current key curr.key the current node. I'm looking at is equal to The key value you're searching for great you found it What I want you to do is return the value Associated with this key. Well the value associated with the key is stirred in current dot value Current is going to be a tree node From up at the top here All right, so we're looking at the key and the value of the tree node. All right else okay, if Current if the key is Less than current dot key. Where do we go? We got to go left so we're going to call find on The left child where we're looking for the key the key is our target in this case But we got to do something here. Don't forget this step. This is a recursive call. We're descending. We're descending We're descending. We're descending and if we find the thing we're returning it Okay, so our recursive call is returning something as The recursive calls start to unwind you need to also return the results from these recursive calls Okay, so we're going to return this all the way back up the chain Okay, go back to the recursion worksheet from a couple weeks ago You'll notice we've returned the values that kept coming back same thing here All right, finally the key must be greater than the current key value So we're going to return self dot find on the right child Okay, so that'll get us there with find now again What you want to do is you're going to want to use this in your get item and your contains, right? So Let's do contains here just very quickly Support of the call of the form is x in the tree Return true if x is a key in the tree and false Otherwise, well you have this find method So where do you start? searching You start at the root of the tree So let's return a call to find on The root of the tree looking for the key Okay, excuse me looking for item All right Will that do it? I think it should Let's give it a shot. Oh I'm sorry. So we don't want to return here. We want to return true or false. Okay, so the way to do this is going to be if Find how do you know if the thing is not in the in the map? You know, it's not in the map because fine will raise a key error So what we should do is we should try right? We should do some exception handling here Try this and If a key error happens return false Okay Try this if a key error gets raised. We're gonna catch it and Say false the key. It's not in there, man. Sorry, but if this succeeds if we do find it All right contains this is x in tree contains is the in keyword you return true or false We're not returning a value So if we get past this right if this works We're going to return true Okay All right, so let's run our test and hopefully our test for contains will pass Testing for contains here we go Looks good, okay All right, so you will also be able to use this find method here in get item I'm gonna leave that part up to you in the next video. We'll talk about the last thing which is deleting from the tree
