The legal deposit libraries have a long history of collecting print publications and since April 2013 new regulations allow us to collect digital content as well. The publisher submission portal is a web-based application allowing publishers to directly deposit their new publications under the legislation. The portal is aimed at small to medium-sized publishers to help them submit their new publications. The benefit to publishers is that a single submission is securely shared across the six legal deposit libraries. It's very important that this content is collected and preserved alongside publications from larger publishers for as complete a picture as possible. This will ensure a comprehensive collection for the readers of today and of tomorrow. Registration is a simple process. Each publisher has to fill out a form detailing basic information about their organisation. Once this application is submitted it is reviewed by the digital processing team and if a publisher meets the relevant criteria they will receive an email inviting them to use the portal to deposit content. A range of content types can be loaded into the portal, for example ebooks or e-journals. Single or multiple files can be uploaded to the portal. For each publication this is loaded a publisher will have to complete a basic form detailing information regarding the publication. The basic form consists of information such as the title, publisher name, place of publication etc. The digital processing team reviews each publication. These publications are then loaded into the British Library's digital library system. It is from here that publications are accessed in the reading rooms of the six legal deposit libraries. The libraries ensure the security of the content by restricting access to the portal to only authorised staff and enforcing strict controls for readers in the reading rooms. Publishers can register to upload their content by going to the following web address.


Do we have the remote or something in there? Yeah, this is it. OK. So let's get to the first slide. And is it possible to turn off this first bank of whites to be able to see a little better? Yeah. All right, so while they're getting that set up, I just wanted to thank you guys for coming. And you have a choice in how you spend your evenings that you've chosen to come here. And we really appreciate that. So part of what I want to do here today is not just tell you about my own experiences and why I think space is a good idea. I want to get you guys inspired to really think of space as a very viable entrepreneurship option. So the world is changing now. We are in a very different place from where we were even like three years ago. You know what Elon Musk is doing.  And I know that a lot of people here that I've spoken to are working on some innovative technologies for planet Earth. And it's not that hard. Not that hard to be able to space-qualify that, to get your technology into orbit. And people are doing this globally. There are 1,000 space-related startups globally today. And they're claiming in three years that's going to be 10,000. That's crazy, right? And so if you have a technology that you want to put into space, if we don't start doing this here in Singapore, somebody else will. And there are countries, I think there are Vietnam's launching satellites in Southeast Asia. There are companies with very small economies that are actually starting to do this stuff. And I think it's time for us to catch up. And not only just catch up, but become a hub for R&D for this part of the world. So can we go to the first? I'll see if I can back it up. Okay, there we go. So that's Mars. That's a Singaporean flag. I Photoshopped that myself. My TGH jar was very proud of me for that. So what we're going to do here is just talk about getting from laptop to watchpad. My husband actually did the one on the right sitting right up here too. So it's a family affair. So we're going to talk about the idea that you have up here and how you get that into space. So let's talk about traditional space, which was big and expensive and really amazing, but really inaccessible to most of us. And if you live in this part of the world and you want to have a career with NASA or with ESA or the Japanese Space Agency, JAXA, it's pretty hard to do. There's citizenship issues and just lack of access to the right kind of training. So back in the day with traditional space, my first job was on the Hubble Space Telescope which is down here on the bottom right. And then Commander Williams here was on the space shuttle and he was also on the International Space Station. And all of these are multiple billion dollar missions, right? So then we have the space station here and then if you can see it, the Mars rover I worked on that and then Galileo at Jupiter did my PhD with that. So I was very privileged to be in a place where I had access to this. I had professors at my university who had collaborators at NASA and I did some research with my professors and through them I got to the point where I could work on these huge projects. But they're awesome, but they're hard to actually put your mind back because none of us has a few billion dollars unless you do not must. So this is new space. This, we're in a new paradigm right now. So when you think about yourself when everybody's got their phone, think about the computing power in that phone, right? That computing power in that tiny hand phone is equivalent to sort of a huge desktop computer from say 15, 20 years ago, right? And in the same way that we've had miniaturization electronics for computers, we've had miniaturization of technology for space. How many of you guys have heard of a CubeSat here?  All right, so for those who haven't, I'll just tell you, a CubeSat is a self-contained small satellite. It does everything the big ones do, but it costs about as much as an ice car at a Singapore to watch, a quarter million, $300,000.  And this is actually a CubeSat, right here. 1.3 pages, 10 by 10 by 10 centimeters. This is one that we actually use to train with for our workshops. It's not radiation hardened. We just use this for training on a desktop system and it's got a little camera in here. You can put in whatever you want. It's just amazing, this has been a game changer. So the other game changer has been launches. So up there on the top right, you see a couple of different rockets of SpaceX. We all know the SpaceX is really amazing because it's launching and landing again. But then there are other countries too, like in India, the Indian space agency has a spin-off now that does launches. It's a commercial company and they're making a lot of money. They just launched 104 of these at once at confectionery. So the ability to get your stuff up into space has significantly changed as well. So we've got the Thai space agency, the Malaysian space agency. We don't have a Singaporean space agency but that shouldn't stop us in the private sector. So there are a ton of things you can do in space. The satellites, one thing I'll just tell you about it is the smoke from fires. Right now the big satellites that are up there get data with whatever case the satellite company decides that can be able to for two days. And if you're talking about a fire like this, it would be fantastic to be able to get an infrared image within two hours of it starting.  So that's just one example and I'm happy to talk about other examples with you guys to come up afterwards. So new space in Singapore, what do we do here? So we've got the incubator which was starting out and one of the issues we're finding is training. So people think that they can't do space because they don't have a degree in space engineering, right? I have a degree in space physics but I was in a country that would actually offer that as a diploma. But what I wanna, you guys to think about is everybody who's in this room has the capacity to work in space. Anything that you're doing with hardware, software, are we gonna give them stuff for human space flight, you know, sociology, psychology, all of that is going to be necessary in the next decade or so to work in space tech. There's a website called spaceuse.com that you can follow and there's constantly stuff going on in the commercial space sector that people just don't really think about here. So the things that we're doing here to help people come up to speed our work and give you the workshops like this that I talked about with this CubeSat. We've got one on Saturday. If you go to the website, bsethespace.com, you can see that. And the other thing that we do, and this is where we connect with Commander Williams, is we do experiments on the International Space Station. So this June, the first ever Singaporean experiment was launched to the International Space Station, the SpaceX and this company, Nanorax. And you can see the astronauts are up there. So the students built these modules and the astronauts plugged them in. And this is one of the things that Commander Williams did when he was up in space was working on research and development. And so your experiment was set up there depending on the kind of experiment you have and then they bring it back down for you. And in our case, the students launched a bunch of bacteria up there because they wanted to study the effects of bacteria, like of space and on bacteria, which I think is kind of amazing. When I was that age, if I had actually been able to do that, I mean, it just would have been fantastic. So we have, for the next year, for the next round, we have a company, we have a school here in Singapore that's doing this and we also have a group in Australia and we're looking to build up in our lab as well. So this is one of my favorite pictures ever. I don't know how well you can see it, but the dragon paths are from SpaceX that took us up there, left us there, and then we came back down a month later. This is a picture taken by an astronaut from the space station after the dragon that was re-entering Earth was unreleased. You see the robot arm and then just down here, that is the dragon capsule with our experiment on it re-entering the Earth's atmosphere. That is so cool. And I have this in high resolution everybody wants. It's my screen back when on my computer. You can see the Earth's atmosphere there and you can see the starlight behind it. And if you look at this, sort of opposite of the resolution, it's just so cool. So just very quickly, let me talk about the areas where I think, this is my opinion, that we're gonna be making lots of progress in the next decade or so. We can start on your right with the Google Lunar X Prize. So the Google Lunar X Prize is a $20 million award to the first private team, no government money, private team that goes to the moon, lands on the moon, travels 500 meters and sends back live video. So there are four teams that are actually have reservations on rockets to do this right now. One from the US, two from Asia, one so there's an Indian and Japanese, two separate payloads on one rocket and then we've got another one from Israel. And the plan is to have them launch by the end of this year if they want the prize. So if they're able to launch on schedule, you are gonna get live video from the moon on your phone. The whole point of the prize is to send back live video. And you think about that, whether it happens in this December last I read, they were thinking about sleeping in a few months or whether it happens a year from now, that is going to be a game changer. In terms of our concept of the democratization of space, the concept of access to space, every 13 year old kid with the phone is gonna be looking at live video from the moon. So I really think I really wanna encourage you guys to get on board because all this stuff is coming and it's real. So we talk about asteroid mining too. Asteroids are very pristine. You don't have to go in and remove the minerals the way you would with mines here on earth. There hasn't been geological processing on asteroids. So it's fairly easy to extract stuff. And there are websites that will tell you how much material is on an asteroid and how much it's worth. Because from the ground we know how big they are, we know what they're made of. And so you can look at current market prices and figure out how much a rock is worth. So you can spend tens of millions going up there, but if you're bringing back a billion dollars with the very rare material, you're gonna come out ahead. And of course there's a lot of mass stream of colonizing Mars. And the reason I'm bringing all these things up is we here can provide software, we can provide subsystems. Everything that has to be done in space has to be done on earth. So a lot of the software, IoT, the sensor systems, everything that you guys work on here, a lot of the entrepreneurs around here, that stuff can be converted into space tech. And so I'm hoping that you guys do think about that. All right, so the theme here is the Singapore can be a global space, a global hub for space R&D. We have a few events coming up. The rest of this week we've got talks with Commander Williams. We're very excited to have him here. And then we have a workshop on Saturday that I mentioned. And we have a meetup group called Singapore Astro Preneurs. I see some familiar faces. There's some of you guys have come. We usually meet up at Boxing and I and we go to Timber Plus and have yous and talk about the latest in space tech. And then United Nations has world space to give a year in October. And for the second year this time year we're also participating in that more public outreach and talks very much about the general public. So I think that's it.  So while we load that up, let me just tell you a couple things about him. He's a fantastic speaker. He's got an amazing video. He's already spent 534 days in space. He's done space walks. And this is the real deal. It's such a privilege for us to have him here. And I'm really excited. And I guess I'll just introduce you now and let you tell us what it's like to be in space.


Hello, this is Professor Steven Eschivan, and I'm here to help you out with navigating through the Earth data website to collect images collected by MODIS, which is an Imager mounted on a satellite that satellite goes pole to pole So I've gone here to Earth data dot NASA dot gov And what we're going to do is go to data here and here under modus swath images That's a place to go to that's helpful and You'll notice that it's got all these different There's the date and then these are all these different times UTC refers to a Greenwich Greenwich time and So what I'm going to Recommended that you do is a click on this display false color with true color That gives us a few more a few more options and also to display the resolution list which will give us yet a few more options and now You can see that for every day. There's there's a sort of three different sets of what we call wavelength bands to choose from and And also you see hovering underneath there is the location of the satellite when I took that photo And so I'm I'm looking for one of these where it was just about over the poles and on this particular day at 1835 UTC there it was so what I am going to do is choose the 500 Meter resolution image, which is this and you can see it's quite big and then what I am now going to do is right-click on this and save image as and I'm going to just go into some some place and save it there and Then you can go back as soon as that's done and save other datasets as well preferably really more that That were in that same location

Smith uses all right Brian. Thank you. I'll work on that guy's name throughout the preseason By week one all his name down pat. All right Gordon pack three Good luck. What is this? Is that a plate? whoa Wow Tom Brady one-of-one plate autograph. It's the autograph spot. That's a plate. That says Brady Amazing right see see dumps like wow Jason Parsons nice well, whoo Yeah, definitely out of five is an under this is definitely all the board the big hit express Yeah, I wasn't expecting that either. I almost thought Gordon got shorted in auto There's Phillips right there. I Thought you were I thought you were gonna be shorted in auto cuz I was like that's just a plate That says Brady on there's no way. There's a Brady auto in here Bill saying that's a $10,000 card. I mean it is Brady. I Don't know if the if the college gear hurts him or not at least the valley, but it's gonna be a lot. Yeah Value's gonna be a volo. That's for sure on Jasper's case rates calm hit that support button and reach out to our team about insurance or a faster shipping I'd overnight it actually I need to set this aside so I can snap a photo of this Just leave it right next to me right over here. All right. It's a hot box here So Michael got three packs and then will you have the rest? So there's packs seven two and 11 seven two and 11 seven two and 11 Brady you Jason did some research saying Brady one-of-one plate autos are on one to two K All right, so a little short of the 10k that bill was saying and I don't know what the and are is that in college uniforms? I don't know what what the college uniform does though on the value, but we've got another difficult name Josh immature in Mater Baby, I'm gonna go with that. I don't think he was drafted He's a wide receiver for the Jaguars and we got a duke player here. It's gonna be It's gonna be Victor de mocage de mocage Where did he end up? That's a six round pick to the Arizona Cardinals Defense event all right and your third pack Michael P.

All right, thank you, Michael Bag up your stuff a little bit later. Let's do will stack really quick Yeah in a pick your team I guess it would depend on the checklist We would look at the checklist first, but if the checklist doesn't attach Brady to a team yet He would go to Tampa Bay As you know for products with no checklists right like hit parade gold rush stuff like that It'll go to if they're retired it'll go to the team they play for the longest and if they're active It'll go to the team.

Johnny dollar George read here. Well good for you George What I can use an assignment about now who's in trouble this time John Patrick O'Shea never heard him He's retired in the wheelchair for the past couple of years. Now. What's happened to him? I want to give me his address. I'll run over and see him. Oh, whatever you say. You see Johnny you Okay, George. I'll see you in a couple of minutes Johnny dollars by special investigator Johnny dollar De Floyd's of England North American office Hartford, Connecticut All he is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the wrong man matter George read somehow involved in the beating up of a helpless old man hard to believe But I grabbed a taxi that's item one a dollar 20 and met him in his office then using his car. We drove east on Maple Drive Yes, Harry Marshall He's the young male nurse who's been taking care of mr. O'Shea these past couple of years Johnny ever since the old man Lost the use of his legs and started living in a wheelchair I see last night mr. O'Shea sent Marshall over to see me regarding a change in his life insurance What what kind of a change George? Well O'Shea's nearest relative is a ne'er-do-well nephew boy of 25 or so lives up in Boston Beneficiary of the ominance policy. No, you see mr. O'Shea doesn't have much money only a small pension and the residue of whatever He was able to collect on the accident to his late So just what he's been paying Marshall for taking care of him. I don't know but I doubt if it's very much Nevertheless Marshall has devoted himself entirely and unselfishly to the old man So to make up for the lack of fancy wages mr. O'Shea bought some insurance and named Harry Marshall as the beneficiary exactly But Marshall felt that O'Shea ought to make some provision for his nephew whether he liked him or not After all his only living relative. Well, this Marshall sounds like a pretty unusual fellow.  O'Shea to change his policy To cut in this worthless nephew. Yes. What time did he get there and tell you this? He didn't That is the poor fellow must have waited for a couple of hours. What do you mean? My wife and I were out. We'd gone to the movies. She insisted on seeing the second feature a horrible picture by the way So we didn't get home until nearly 11 30 Here I found this note in the door Mr. Reed sorry to have missed you, but it's after 11 now. So I think I'd better get back to mr. O'Shea Please call me in the morning. I believe I have convinced him that he should name Walter and his insurance And that refers to Walter Perry the nephew hope you and Mrs. Reed enjoyed the movie respectfully Harry Marshall So so by the time Marshall got back home the old man had been attacked and his neighbor it called in the police First thing this morning Marshall phoned me. Oh now here. We are John. I'm able to come I told you on the phone this morning This is a terrible thing terrible. Yes, Harry. I'm sure it is This is mr. Johnny dollar a special investigator for us. Oh good excellent. Would you come in, please? Lieutenant Barley is already here. Yeah, sure. Thanks. Has he found anything that might indicate? Oh, hello, Lieutenant. Hello, dollar Here take a look at this. Yeah The attacker must have come and gone by way of the living room window Apparently tore this off his coat or pants on his way out. Oh, Harris Tweed. Yeah, anything else? Nothing where's mr. O'Shea upstairs in bed doc says he's in pretty bad shape But that he'll pull through the doctor left a few minutes ago, mr. I know she himself hasn't been able to give you anything hello tenant nothing Except that the man sneaked up on him from behind and slugged him. He didn't hear him didn't see him Oh, great somehow mr. Dollar. You've got to find the man who did this and when you do I only wish you turned him over to me easy boy. Just leave him up to us Don't bank on that lieutenant. I've got to go back to hit course Huh What do you mean by that Marshall? I simply mean that I could kill the man who did this don't try it Find anything dollar. Give me a thought. Yeah, sure lieutenant. Oh, would you like to see mr. O'Shea now? No No, Marshall There are a couple of other things I'd like to do first. Oh What Johnny let's just sit down here in the living room and talk for a few minutes. You have some idea Yes, mr. Dunno. No, I didn't say that but come on Let's sit down and talk fully Johnny dollar in a moment in the history of America the inventor has had a place of importance equal to that of statesmen and other national leaders Indeed our inventors many of the mechanics craftsmen or even thoughtful tinkerers have strongly influenced our destiny They have contributed greatly to our amazing development from a barren outpost of civilization to the foremost industrial nation in the world Incidentally when we think of great inventions, it's natural to think of involved mechanisms like the McCormick Reaper the sewing machine or the phonograph However, some inventions are so simple one wonders why they weren't thought of centuries before an Invention in this category is of all things the universal all-important safety pin This was the invention of Walter Hunt who lived in New York in the first hatchery between 1832 and 1859 he created and patented more original and worthwhile inventions than any man in the country a Revolver a repeating rifle and a bullet with a metal cartridge containing its own explosive charge But of all his simple inventions the safety pin is the most useful It was patented in 1849 and he gave the patent to a draftsman in discharge of a very small debt Somehow there must be a way and now act two of yours truly Johnny dollar and the wrong man matters This house last night Marshall a few minutes of ten. I went over to see mr. Reed here to tell him about a Well about a change that mr. O'Shea had finally agreed to make in his insurance It was something mr. Reed and I had discussed before yes, but as I told you Johnny my wife and I were at the movie Yeah, George had mr. O'Shea gone to bed by then Marshall. No, sir He was sitting here in the living room in his wheelchair of course watching television He always stayed up late watching television And well to be honest about it. He usually slept through most of it that I can understand So I quietly left and I went over to mr. Reed's home When I found they were out Well, when 11 o'clock came around they still hadn't returned. I decided I'd better come back here go on When I got here, I found the front door wide open Inside with mr. Wakeley from next door and a couple of policemen and his Poor old mr. O'Shea that neighbor mr. Wakeley. Did you say that's right stored? In other words me I didn't hear you ringing mr.  Mr. Dollar is an investigator for my insurance company mr. Wakeley I'm George Reed. Why didn't you send for me Marshall? What was that this man dollar? I probably want to know just what I found here last night while you were out gallivanting around some place instead of being here Where you should have been take care of that old old O'Shea. I beg your pardon. Well, weren't you? I hardly see as any business of yours But I just happened to have been out on an errand for mr. O'Shea Yeah, all right, which reminds me mr. Reed You will make the changes in the policy won't you? Oh, well, of course Well, I got to say yeah, go ahead and say it mr.  Wakeley Are you in the habit of dropping in here at all hours? On that old crack part O'Shea. Well, I am not good heavens. No, it's the first time mr. Wakeley ever so much as entered this house After all just what time did you get here by the way? Well, it's not more than two three minutes after 11 o'clock. You're sure that of course. I'm sure I've been trying you hear me I've been trying to hear the 11 o'clock news on the radio That's the reason I come Marshall. That's the same time ready to leave George Reed's home and come back here Yes, I started to say the reason I come over here was to tell that crazy old man to turn down his television What?  Wakeley right there I'm gonna call you on the telephone Marshall almost every single night and big you to turn that thing down I come over and do something about it. Yes, you certainly did But a lot of good it done me so that's why I come over here last night Mr. Dollar to tell the old man in this smart young whipper snapper And as they didn't turn down that TV and leave us have some peace around here Yes, I'm sure and I would when I got up on the porch I heard the old cooter Howling for help even though that squawk box I could hear him and I heard his wheelchair fall over And he's still yelling for help. So what if you so I banged on the door and I finally busted open You know what I found in here just what did you find? Oh, man? Oh, she Laying down for all cut net when the back of them wide open and you call the police Yes, sir, and that's when Marshall it should have been here take care of that when he come in and of course I sent for the doctor and Marshall you have no idea who might have done it. I wish there heaven I had I tell you this mister. Yes Everybody living on the block That noise machine would have been willing to murder him part. Yes, sir even you mr. Wakeman. Yes, sir. Yes, sir No, no, no wait. I didn't mean that. Yeah, sure. Now listen carefully.  Turn to Johnny dollar in a moment the two men approach each other cautiously intently a fearful murmur sweeps through the crowd women and children scurry for cover The two men stop about 30 paces apart Silence fills the street Each man's hand harbors over the pearl handle in his holster and At an unheard signal pistols are drawn two shots ring out and one man falls to the dusty streets dead The hero holsters his weapon and ambles toward the saloon Thus ends or begins a great source of American entertainment the Western Although glamorized now the six shooter did play an important part in the settling of the West The man responsible for that ingenious weapon was Samuel Colt Born in 1814 Colt as a child had an insatiable interest in gunpowder and the weapons that used it as A young man. He was dissatisfied with the current one-shot pistols then in use One day he remembered a sea voyage he had taken when he was 13 and how he had been fascinated by the ship's paddle wheel Why not use a similar wheel in a pistol? Working feverishly he finally perfected a weapon with a rotating barrel of six chambers Thus the six shooter was born Like most inventions, however, it took time to gain the public's acceptance The opportunity came War with Mexico was declared in 1846 and Soldiers returning from the war told of the great success they had had with the Colt 45 Soon the Texas Rangers adopted the repeating pistol and their money battles with the Indian Samuel Colt and inspired American with a philosophy that somehow there must be a way Let's find it.

Suspense and the producer of radio's outstanding theatre of thrills, the master of mystery and adventure, William M. Robson. Suspense is proud to present for the first time to an American radio audience, an actress well known to the listeners of the British and Canadian broadcasting corporations. Ms. Joy Lafleur has twice been named the best actress of the year by the radio critics of Canada and has been invited this summer to play Hamlet's mother, Queen Gertrude, in the Shakespearean festival at Stratford, Ontario. In the tale of suspense you are about to hear, she plays a quite different role. Emily, the tragically disturbed wife, uncertain from moment to moment whether her husband loves her more than life itself or is planning her imminent murder. Listen then, as Joy Lafleur stars in Celebration, which begins in exactly one minute. Fellas and you gals too, have you ever thought about brushing up on some of those high school subjects you found kind of tough? Or maybe studying for a university diploma? Being in the service, you have a chance to enter the largest classroom in the world and join millions of other American service personnel stationed in almost every corner of the globe. Men and women who have taken elementary, high school or college courses, university extension courses, as well as business and technical vocational training. Where is this fabulous classroom located? Wherever you are. That's right. There isn't a camp installation or ship which can't be reached by the services of USOPI, the United States Armed Forces Institute. Whether you're interested in a correspondence course, a self-teaching course which doesn't require the submission of lessons, or if you'd like to study with a group, USOPI can offer you what you want. For a uniform education, study with USOPI. And now, Miss Joy Lafleur in celebration. A tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. Todd was coming for me. Oh, as I packed my suitcase, I looked out of the windows and I could see the flower gardens and the green lawns and some of the girls were playing badminton and some were in the pool. And Todd was coming for me. And I had a surprise for him. Let me see where's my pink sweater. Bottom drawer. It was here, I think. Well, where's the white one? Oh, dear. I couldn't seem to find anything. Oh, but I didn't care. Todd was coming for me. And I knew what he'd say. He'd say, oh, Emily, Emily, how I've missed you. He'd hold me so hard and he'd kiss me. Kiss me. Kiss me all over, oh, darling. And then I'd tell him. I'd tell him about the surprise. I'd say, who's there? Mrs. Wall? Yes. It's Mrs. Hallick. Oh, one moment, Mrs. Hallick. I didn't want her to see my suitcase, so I pushed it under the bed. Come in, Mrs. Hallick. Your husband just phoned, Mrs. Wall. He'll be here soon. Oh, Todd's such a darling. Thank you, Mrs. Hallick. You've been so kind to me. Well, I try to be. To all the ladies. No, I just have to put on my perfume. It's passion at night. Do you like it? Very nice. Careful, you don't spill. Now, one drop behind each ear for those who pass. One on each wrist for those who linger. And one on the navel of the neck for those one ever sees. And one on the forehead for a blessing. Oh, a blessing for Todd. Oh, dear, I dropped it. I just can't seem to hold things. Well, it didn't break. Here, I'll wipe it off. Thank you, Mrs. Hallick. Oh, how do you like the way I'm doing my hair? Oh, very nice. Shall I take it down and do it over again? Oh, no. Oh, just look at me. I used to fill this dress out, and now I look like a scarecrow in it. Don't I? You look just lovely. Now you have everything, hat, gloves, purse. Oh, of course. Well, you remember last time you went for a drive? Last time? When did I? Now, let's sort these things on the bed. Oh. Oh, I didn't see your suitcase. Oh, that, well, I was just putting some things away, and I... were you planning to be away longer than for a drive and dinner? Well, I thought I wouldn't come back tonight. Oh, I'll be coming back here to the club often. I love my friends here. Mika, that girl that writes the plays, and Sadie, that newspaper woman, oh, she's so witty. It's so stimulating being here with all these famous women. Oh, I just wouldn't think of not coming back. Well, a change might be the thing for you now, dear. But that's what I thought. You see, we're not equipped to give you all the attention you should have. Oh, attention? Did you want to put this bunch of letters in your suitcase, too? Give them to me. They're Todd's letters. I couldn't leave them. Oh, Todd simply adores me, Mrs. Halleck. I'm sure he does. Look, just listen to this, and you'll see. No, no, here it is. Darling, you are my happiness. I can't live without you. You're as necessary as the air I breathe. Todd's a poet, really. When I looked up, she was gone. She'd left when I was reading. I knew what she'd do. She'd tell Todd I dropped that perfume. I could hear her talking to someone downstairs in the lobby. I recognized Todd's words. What were they talking about? I slipped out of my room, down the corridor to the head of the stairs, and I listened. And that two-faced... I hurried back to my room, and I closed the door. And a moment later, she came in and told me Todd was waiting downstairs. I didn't say a word. She helped me get ready and close my suitcase and carried her down for me. And then there was Todd smiling, and his arms outstretched. Oh, darling. Oh, Todd, Todd. Emily. Oh, Emily, how I've missed you. I've wanted to kiss you and hold you in my arms like this. No, not here, dear. Let's go. We can be alone. All right. You know, today's an important day, darling. Our eighth wedding anniversary. Why, Todd, we were married only six weeks ago. I mean... I never could remember dates. Never mind. We're going to celebrate. Oh, darling. Really celebrate this anniversary. We're going to all the places we used to go. The lake, that little Italian restaurant we used to like so well. Todd, I've got a surprise for you. Save it, dear. Till we get into the car. No, but it's... Tell me on the way to the lake. Smell those pines. Love them. Todd, didn't you wonder why I brought a suitcase? Oh, yes, I did, but... Well, that's because of the surprise. Oh, yes. I'm not going back to the club, Todd. I'm coming home with you. It's a beautiful surprise. And I'm going to make chinstrapes for the living room that the club has and do the bathroom all over with a full-length mirror and everything. And I want a really smart kitchen. Lots of color like they're doing now. Oh, of course, it takes lots of work, but I don't care. It's a nice idea. And then there's our room. I want to do it over completely. Make it modern and smart and sexy. Let's celebrate first. It's a wonderful day. Let's make the most of it, shall we?  He stared straight ahead. And we drove miles and miles without talking. And at last we turned in at the lake and parked near the beach. Oh, isn't it awfully quiet? You sound frightened here. Remember, I'm with you. I'll always be with you. You know, Emily, we could live a whole lifetime and never find anything better than we have right here. Soft wind, a bright day. And you and I together alone. This we will have forever. Alone? Forever? Now, I'll get some blankets out of the back. I have to take good care of you, you know. I sat there while he went around to the back. And I was alone again. I was always alone. Did Todd bring me out here to leave me? Oh, no, Emily.  I opened my purse and groped around for my lipstick. Oh, dear, it wanted to spill like that. Reached on to pick up my things, the lipstick and the compact, and I hand-touched something under the seat, a little box. I picked it up and it was heavy. I read the words on the label. 38 caliber self-nosed cartridges. Bullets. I looked out of the box in my hand and it was only half full. My hand shook my heart. I could hear Todd rummaging around in the back and I put the cover back in the box. Then there he was at the side of the car. All set. I've got the blankets. I couldn't say anything. You all right? Yes. Come on then, darling. Let's go get out on that beach. I held the box under my purse as I got out. Here, let me help you. I'm all right. You lead the way. Okay. The box of bullets in my hand terrified me and I followed Todd three or four steps and then I let the box slip out of my hand. Down in the leaves and the gravel. Here we are. I'll spread the blankets. Now, come on, darling. Let's curl up and take it easy. Thank you. Look at that lake, will you? Todd, what were you going to do with those bullets in the car? Bullets? What bullets? That box of bullets I found in the car. I don't know anything about any bullets. That imagination of yours... But I saw them. I held them in my hands. That box was about half full. Give me a darling. Close to me. Here. Todd, I'm sure I saw... Tell me, please. Do you feel all right? I don't know. I ache all over. Head feel tight again. Don't rub me. Here.  That's it. I'll rub away the pain. You're hurting me. Hey, anything the matter? Where'd you come from? I was just passing. I heard the lady. She's all right. Just a headache. I thought she wasn't feeling well. She's all right. The only place out here to get sick... Well, excuse me for bothering you. Where did he come from? I thought we were alone here. Alone. Together, Emily. I will a little bit be with you. Without you it would be unbearable. It would be impossible. That's the one fact in all this. Oh, I was sure. I have to be sure, Todd. All those nightmares I have, they're horrible. Forget them. Now put your hands at mine. There. That's real, isn't it? I get so scared. I hardly sleep at all. It shows, doesn't it? Of course not, darling. When you came down the stairs today, you were radiant. Was I? Was I real? You were beautiful. Why is it? Why am I like that sometimes and then sometimes? You're tired, Emily. Tired. Yes. Relax, Mrs. Ward. You must relax, Mrs. Ward. That's all I ever hear at the club. You'll hear it, too. Only with a difference. Relax, Mrs. Ward. In my arms. Oh, you do want me. All the world, there could never be another woman like you. Never. I live for it. Yes, Emily. Emily, listen to me. No, Todd, please. Darling, it isn't good for you. I don't care. But the doctor said... What doctor? You know, you know... when you went to see the doctor. But that was ages ago. You all talk behind my back, so I can't hear what you say. You and Mrs. Howard? I just asked her how you were. You must believe I love you, Emily. Oh, I do. I do. Oh, darling. I'm so happy, darling. So am I. Look. Look. Over there's where we built the sandcastle, remember? And the wave melted it. Oh, this pretty one had lasted. All the shells. Oh, Todd, that was the day when I was caught in the undertow. But I rescued you. But not until I called, and you didn't hear, and I was sinking down deep, and everything was black, and I was all alone. But you've forgotten how it was. I was asleep on the raft, but I heard you. I called to you. I was there in less than a minute. No, I dream about it. I'm sinking down in the black, and you're not there. Emily. How could you leave me? I can't deal with you always, Emily. Oh, let's get away from here, Todd. I don't like the lake anymore. It's so, so bare and so lonely. Emily, it's a perfect place. No, no, let's go into town. Let's go to that Italian place, Giorgio's.  I mean, and there'd be lots of people around. People. Yes, it'll be fun, and we can have dinner at Giorgio's. It'll be crowded, Emily. No, no. Say, uh... What's that, man? Do you lose this? What? This box of bullets. Bullets? Yeah. You found them in the sand just a few steps from your car. Well, maybe you dropped them. Yes. Yes, I dropped them. Those are the bullets I found in the car, Todd. The very same ones. Is the box half full? Yeah, about half full. Thirty-eight caliber soft-nose cartridges says on the box. Well, I... Oh, I'll bet I know. I let Ernie take the car. Ernie? Yes, yes. He's gone in for target practice. Ernie, who's he? Why, he's... Maybe he got them for you. I figured they were yours. It looked like they'd just been dropped beside your car up there. Well, thanks. Come on, Emily. If dinner at Georgios will make you happy, then it's dinner at Georgios. Well, how do you like that? What? That sign, Georgios, under new management. Probably isn't as good as it used to be. All right, just pull right in, sir, and park over there. What became of Georgio? Oh, he sold out. Just park over there. If it's under new management, Emily, chances are it's not as good as it was before. Oh, you're blocking the driveway. Pull in, will you? Yes. At least you can go in and look, Todd. He parked the car and went into the restaurant. I was alone again. Alone again. Relax, Emily. Relax. Well, before I was, Todd, always gone. If he didn't come out in a minute, I'd go in after him. But, oh, he would come out.  I'd make up my face and be all ready for it. I couldn't get my lipstick on straight. It smeared. What I needed was a cigarette. I opened the glove compartment. Map, flashlight, gloves. No cigarettes. But there was an envelope. I pulled it out. It was addressed to Todd at his office, Mark Pearson. I unfolded the letter. Dear Mr. Ward, Dr. Koenitz today has affirmed what we have felt for some time concerning Mrs. Ward. Her condition is becoming progressively worse. Since we are not equipped here at the rest home to provide care for manic depressive patients, we should appreciate you're making other arrangements for her at your earliest possible convenience. Sincerely, Bertha Halle. We continue with suspense. Your fellows and gals in the service will bear with me for a minute. I'd like to put in a pitch for the United States Armed Forces Institute, better known as USOPI. Here's an educational setup that reaches every corner of the globe. So no matter where you're stationed or what you'd like to study, USOPI is your baby. Not only can you take a variety of courses by correspondence, by teaching yourself without submitting lessons or by group study, but by all final exams for both military and civilian credit. You receive the results, too, no matter which branch you're in. If your grades are satisfactory, they can help you get the rate you're entitled to in the services or the job you'd like to take when you return to civilian life. They can also help you enter the college or university of your choice. If your grades are not what they should be, you're given the chance by USOPI to be retested for a better grade. That's the advantage of USOPI's service and have benefited by it. Why don't you, for a uniform education, study with USOPI. And now, we continue with celebration starring Miss Joy Lafleur, a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense. That dreadful Mrs. Hallock making up stories about me, writing Todd, you know, I'm a manic depressive. Well, if she'd go that far, what hasn't she told the others at the club? All my friends. Friends until she started her lying stories, but here comes Todd out of church house. I mustn't let on. I know about the letter. I jammed it back in the glove compartment and slammed the door. Honey, this place looks terrible. Why don't you want to take me here, Todd? You promised. It isn't that, darling. It just isn't the same. It's run down and dirty. Can I dive out into the country, find a quiet spot? No, no, Todd, please. No, let's drive into Todd. We can have dinner at the hotel and there'll be music and we can dance. No excitement isn't good for you. Please, Todd, please take me here. Anything the matter here? No, no, no, my wife doesn't feel well. Anything I can do? No, everything's all right. Let's drive into the hotel, Todd. Here, let's drink to us, dear. To us? Oh, Todd, do you really mean it?  Now, what would you like to eat? What's on the menu? Oh, lots of good things. Roast beef, southern fried chicken, lobster, Thermador, waiter. Yes, sir. We'll order now. Yes, sir. What would you like, darling? I'll have the southern fried chicken. Good. Oh, sorry. I'm afraid the chicken is all gone. Oh, and that's the one thing I want. Southern fried chicken and everything that goes with it. I'm sorry. Would you try? Maybe there's just one order left, please. I'll see what I can do. Are you, sir? Lobster, Thermador. Yes, sir. Todd, they're playing a rumba. Would you like to dance? Oh, yes, ma'am. Come on.  Come on.  Being in your arms again. Oh, I'm sorry. Todd, I've forgotten how to dance. Todd, just relax. Follow me. Oh, excuse us, please. Pardon me. The music was right. Everybody bumping into us. Maybe we'd better go back to our table. Yes, let's.  On this chair. And bulging. Paul, what have you gotten there? Your letters. Oh, no. I read them over and over. Look, you wrote me this one from Omaha. Darling, you are my happiness. I can't live without you. You are as necessary as the air I breathe. There are many people at this stage. You are home to me. I don't want you to read the letters. Welcome to me. Quiet. Don't you mean what you said? Is the waiter without food. May I serve you, madam? What's that? Fried chicken. Todd, you know I never eat anything fried. But the lady insists it's a southern fried chicken and everything that goes with it. Yes, I know. We'll take it away. Will you please pay for it? Yes, sir. Well, maybe this once won't hurt. Very good. It's good to me. Tasty. All these people making so much noise about. Todd, take me home. I'm not hungry. I want to go home. Please, may I understand? We subled our house three months ago when you went to... Darling, we have no house. It's our house. Please, darling, please. Please, dear, you must realize we no longer have a house. Todd was talking, but I couldn't stop her ringing. And my head was tightening until I got screaming inside. I was so stirred up. Why was everyone making so much noise? The music rasping and lights dazzling everywhere I look. The best thing we can do is to get out of here. Come on, darling. Our keys. Todd, are you taking me home? We're going where we can be together. Always. But it's quiet and peaceful. Where? To the place up in the hills where we used to park where we were married. No, Todd, I want to go home. Isn't this our eighth wedding anniversary? Aren't we celebrating? Emily will see the starlight through the trees and listen to the crickets. Two lovers alone in the dark where are those keys? Maybe they're in your top coat in the back seat. I'll reach over and see. No, no, no. They're not there. Makes your coat so heavy. Something dropped out of it. A revolver. What do you want with the gun? Yeah, the keys. Todd, were those bullets for that gun? You've got to trust me, Emily. But I found those bullets and then that letter from Mrs. Hallick. What letter? Oh, that double face.  Emily, try not to get so excited. And those bullets? You said they were Ernie's. I meant you have to remember, Emily. You've been gone a long time, a long time. And is the gun Ernie's, too? Yeah, half an hour ago. I told you I loved you. Yes, yes, I know you, too. Well, I do. I love you more than anything in the world. Why are you slowing down? This is the turnoff to our special parking place. You used to call it our paradise, remember? Well, now we're coming back to it again. Getting away from the whole world, from everyone. Everything. To be alone together. I'm so tired. Take me home, please. Let go, dear. Don't grab my arm. Take me back to the club. Any place. Just drop me off. Keep your hands off the wheel, Emily.  Don't, don't, don't think of it that way. You must... You are, aren't you? You're not well, Emily. You're never going to get well. Oh, yes, I will, darling. Yes, I will. I'm going to get well. I'll get over being nervous. I'll be a real wife. Do you a real wife? I'll be everything you want me to be.  But you said we'd always be together. Oh, we will, we will. And this is the way, Emily, together. No, no, don't! Let go of the wheel, darling. Had it all down, Sergeant? Yes, sir. Every word of it. Now, Mrs. Ward, do you remember anything else? See, Todd, no. Mrs. Ward, your husband is gone. Gone? Where did he go?  Dead? He told you to say that. He doesn't want me! Watch her now, Sergeant. Sergeant, yes. Give me a hand here. Tighten up those straps, sir. Well, I guess it's the state hospital for her. She certainly is strong, considering. Yes. She'll probably live a long, long time.

Novak Djokovic vs Kasper Rudd is the final of the men's French Open for 2023. And both guys have had to fight to get to this stage. Rudd started the tournament off as a number 4 seed and will take on Ema in the first round. But there's no problem for Rudd getting through in straights, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2. In the second round he take on Zeperi and after dropping the third set, Rudd would get through in 4, 6-3, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5. In the third round he take on Zong and after losing the first set he had to fight back to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-1, 6-4. In the fourth round he take on Jarry who had had a very good clay season so far and actually beaten Rudd 2 weeks ago. But Rudd got his revenge, getting through in a close straight sets, 7-6, 7-5, 7-5, to advance to the quarterfinals. In the quarterfinals, Rudd would take on his old foe Runa, the number 6 seed, the man that he beat last year at this same stage. And again, this was the same result for Rudd getting through in 4, 6-1, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 to advance to another French Open semi-final. In the semi-finals, Rudd would take on the number 22 seed Verov who had had a fairytale run after the horrific injury he sustained last year in the semi-final. But Rudd was way too good. Getting through in straights, 6-3, 6-4, 6-love to make to another Grand Slam Final. Djokovic entered the tournament as the number 3 seed and would take on Kovacovic in the first round. There's no problem for Noly winning in straights, 6-3, 6-2, 7-6. In the second round he take on Fucovic and after a long first set, Djokovic would win in straights, 7-6, 6-love, 6-3. In the third round he take on Fakina, the 29 seed and this was so far Djokovic's toughest match getting through a long straight sets win, 7-6, 7-6, 6-2. In the fourth round he take on Various who would play 3-5 setters, including beating Hercatch, the 13th seed along the way. This was Djokovic's easiest win getting through in straights, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, Djokovic would take on the number 11 seed Hashinov. And after a drop in the first set, Djokovic would fight back to win in 4, 4-6, 7-6, 6-2, 6-4 to advance to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, Djokovic would take on the world number one Carlos Alcoraz who would just beat up Sidze pass in the quarter-finals. And after splitting the first two sets, Alcoraz would suffer from cramp, allowing Djokovic to get to the final, 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1. These two guys have played 4 times or 4, with Djokovic winning all matches in straights sets. But Root has been competitive when they've been on the clay courts and the way Root has looked in the last couple of days, super confident, could make it interesting. If Root's gonna win this one, he needs to make sure he moves Djokovic around. We did see Djokovic get a little bit sore with the arm during the second set of his match against Alcoraz, so Root really needs to work Djokovic around and make him move. Djokovic's gonna win this one, he needs to just play his normal game. He knows he can beat Root, he's beaten him 4 times or 4, and it should be an easy match on paper. This is such a good final, it's great to see Root in another final after 12 months being here, but I think Djokovic's gonna win this one in four sets. I think Root's come a long way against a lot of guys, he's beating a lot of the top 10 guys these days, which he didn't usually do, but I don't think he can beat Goats just yet. I feel like he's gonna struggle and maybe get a set, but I think Djokovic wins his 23rd slam at the French Open, but let me know down in the comments below who's gonna win the final.


In a certain way, every human being is a threshold for me to cross into a higher expression of myself. The more I give love, the more love is created. The more I give devotion, the more devotion is created. The higher forces of the human being, the more we give it away, the more it comes into being. Because that process of giving it is the higher purpose of the being. There's a reverse part of our will that when I'm reaching for something, it's also reaching for me. And so it's critical to experience thinking free of the brain, feelings free of the emotions, and perceptions free of the body. Suppose I want to level up my hospitality. What is something that I should know to be a better host? Wake early. Sunrise is a chemistry of life. Sunset is a chemistry of life. It is not mythology. It is not psychology. It's physiology. We now know and can measure these quantum fields responding to climate and all of that. This is how in touch we are with our environment. Maybe mythology always has been physiology. I wouldn't doubt that at all.


I believe that this is the season that God is calling his people to step into greater realms of faith because it's by faith that we receive and become all that God desires. It's by faith that we pull from the heavenly realm and transform the earthly realm. It's by faith that we walk according to the will of God. It's by faith that we move in demonstrations of power. It's by faith that we pick up our assignments that God has ordained for us specifically. And I believe that as your faith increases, so will your impact. I believe that as your faith increases, so will the effect of the anointing on your life. As your faith increases, so will the potency of the spiritual gifts that God has imparted to you.


just walking in, so settle down. I've had a couple of questions about the Wi-Fi password. This will be revealed shortly. First, I'd really like to welcome you to Drupal South. Some of you, yes welcome yourselves. It's really fantastic to see you all here. It's been some time in the making and a lot has gone into it but the real proof is in the pudding when the people are in their seats and it's really gratifying to me to see you all here. My wonderful assistant up the back in the darkened room, if we could go to the next slide please. This might take a moment. There we go. So past and present and and and welcomes. I can't do a welcome to country but I'd like to do an acknowledgement of country. We we stand on the land of the traditional owners of this space the Wurundjeri, what's really interesting is that the banks of the Yarra have been a traditional meeting place for a very long time. So please join me in acknowledging the elders past and present of the traditional owners of this land and also the past and present of our event. Drupal South and Drupal Down Under have merged to become one event. Drupal Down Under was the Australian event and Drupal South was our friends. The New Zealanders, the Kiwis had run Drupal South since 2008 and we've brought those communities together under the one banner of Drupal South. So past and present for our event and our community and past and present for the traditional owners of this land as a gathering place on which we stand right now. So thank you. What am I doing? I've got a clicker. Have an official hashtag. Sorry. This one. This is what you really want. Wifi details. So we have there is free Wi-Fi provided by the venue which anyone can access but we also have premium Wi-Fi just for us and that's courtesy of Morft. Morft people where are you? Thank you for providing premium Wi-Fi. The SSID is Drupal South with a space with capital letters. Space dash space. Morft with capital. It's all very complicated but that bit's there. The important part is that password DSM 2015 exclamation mark. Everyone got it? If you forget or someone needs to know who's not here right now it is also on the printed program. Okay? This crucial piece of information. Any questions? Okay. The other bit is there are people who can't make it but are following keenly. So please, please do share what you're seeing, what you're hearing on our official hashtag which is hash Drupal South on the Twitters. If you're using those other social media networks then do that thing there too. Share your pictures. It's all about you know really connecting with the broader community who can't be in the rooms with us today. And I've mentioned one of our amazing sponsors. Thank you Morft. We've got a whole bunch of them and really you know this bit always seems a bit kind of you know you have to do this but I'm really deeply grateful for the support of our sponsors because the one thing that's made a huge difference to me is they've allowed us to have this incredible venue which is a professional conference centre and it's made my life as a volunteer organizer so much easier. So please help me share my gratitude with them by sharing your gratitude with these great people. Okay. Technocrat, our diamond sponsor. Hands up guys. Teams of you here. Thank you. Awesome. Some sponsor previous next. Thank you guys. Hands up. Yay! At once. Commotion. Doghouse and Microsoft is our gold sponsors. Hands up. Silver sponsors and our supporters. Our income providing things like we've already mentioned Morft providing the Wi-Fi. We've got Sparks providing the Rista coffee. Yes. Keyloop is kind of you know treading both boards here as a Silver sponsor and also as our Saturday Sprints sponsor providing us with the space to sprint on Saturday here in this venue. So thank you Riala Loup. This Jalien Government Department of Finance who recently made a big call, a big vote of confidence in Drupal by choosing Drupal for the GovCMS. Thank you so much. I don't know. Are any of you here? I think some of you are coming. Yes. Thank you. Finally, Aqia who have very generously covered the travel arrangements of our fabulous keynote speaker, Ms Angela Byron who we will hear from shortly. There she is. Hello. Sponsors. So these guys are no less, no less with contribution. Web profits, code drop, connecting up 10 collective zicks where technologies and brain tree dev hands up guys. It does make a difference. And you know on the one hand it makes it possible for us to have an event like this but the flip side is that these people are contributing to our community and they deserve our recognition too. So very, very grateful. Thank you. And finally some time and in kind. So creative contingencies is my own business so I spent a bit of time on this. Maron Sakezen has done all the visual graphic design work for us and Weave Web communications who provided site building, theming, content strategy, a whole bunch of things like huge amounts of time and energy which has just been fantastic and a huge weight off my mind. It's a huge thanks to all of them. And Linux Australia is providing the fiscal sponsorship so they provide all of the infrastructure to run an event like this insurance and bank accounts and accounting and all that boring stuff which means we don't have to worry about it. It's there. We can rely on it. So massive round of thanks for these guys. But wait, there's more. Volunteers! They're all out there. None of this would matter without the speakers. Thank you all for the time you've spent preparing and for the knowledge you're about to share. Speakers, thank you. And last but not least, there'd be no point without all of you who aren't already in one of those aforementioned thanked categories. Thank yourselves for turning up and for sharing what you know and being part of the conversations over the next two days. So a round of applause, everybody. End of the formal bit. There's a little bit of housekeeping. We've had a few session changes. The thing to keep in mind is at the bottom of the program on the website, we're listing any last minute changes there to call them out. We've had someone have some unfortunate travel snafus. So Justin Randall's session that was going to be on today will now be tomorrow and is being swapped with Nick Shoe, Drupal CI initiative at what is it, 11.45. Nick, you're all set. Very good. And unfortunately Peter Cossey is unable to come and give his performance talk. But Jam somewhere is kindly stepping in to, there he is, Jam's going to be doing a session at 11.45 in Room C. But this information is at the bottom of the program online. Any last minute changes will be there. So I keep an eye on that. Let you just absorb that information behind me rather than be read it out. And in the meantime, I might ask Ms Angela Byron to come and come to the stage. I can't remember her actual title but I don't think it matters. Angie is an amazing leader of our community and involved in so many ways that it would take too long to mention them. However, I'm really excited that she's been able to come and deliver a keynote address to all of you today. And I think with no further ado, Angela will do the prizes after I forgot about them. Oh, yes, there's prizes. So sit through my boring keynote.
