I haven't kept you waiting. Yes, this is the crime club. I'm the librarian. A deed indeed. Yes, we have that story for you. Come right over. Take the easy chair by the window. Comfortable. The manuscript is on this shelf. Here it is. A deed indeed. The very exciting story of a nightclub that was operated by death. Let's look at it under the reading lamp. The Mannings, that is Mark and Julia Manning, were the kind of happy-go-lucky husband and wife who knew everyone and went everywhere. And, believe it or not, they were happy. It was only one evening and they were in their apartment in Midtown, New York. But they were not together. Mark was in the bedroom and Julia was in the living room, slowly but surely, biting the polish off her lovely nails. Then... Mark? Are you going to finish dressing sometime tonight? Right away. It was right away ten minutes ago. Beautiful. Now come on, let's hurry. I'd like to see what a theater looks like before the curtain goes out. No, right away. Oh, for pity's sake, what's the matter now? I've got to take a handkerchief. It's amazing that... Now who can that be? Open the door and find out. And if it's for me, just tear it up. We heard you the first time. Ah, greetings, greetings and salutations. We've got all we need, thank you. Never close the door in the face of a benefactor. Do I have to wrestle with you too? It could be fun, you know. Now, um... What do you want? I have something for Mr. Mark Manning. Is he at home? He certainly is. Splendid, splendid. And would you be Mrs. Manning? I would. Then let me ask you a question. Do you know how many shopping days there are to Christmas? Now look here, Mr. What's your name? It isn't Mr. What's your name. It's Faraway. It couldn't be. Oh, then I've been deceived. Now what was I saying? Oh yes, something about Christmas. Well, it's here, dear lady. It's for you, Mark, and I can't tear it up. So I see. His name's Faraway. Oh, Faraway, Faraway, Faraway and Faraway. Business counselors and managers deluxe. I'm the third Faraway from the left. How does it feel? Well, it's a little... Come on, tell him we're in a hurry. Yes, it seems to Faraway we're in a hurry. If you'd like to make an appointment, meet me say at, um, two o'clock next winter, I'd be glad to... Young man, I have a mission to accomplish tonight. Here's a paper for you. A summons? Take it and be surprised. It's a deed to the Locust Club, that grand, that magnificent bistro at the river's edge where New York and Westchester meet. The Locust Club? That great harmonium of joy. It's all yours, my boy.  Gesundheit, dear lady. Thank you. What? I don't get this, Julia. It's a deed made out to me by Lou Barton. Who's he? Your husband's angel, Mrs. Manning, the man who never forgets a service. Um, Mr. Faraway, there must be some mistake. I never heard of the guy. Please, sir. Mr. Barton is my client. Sorry. But what did I do for him? Let your mind go back six years to a certain episode in Pittsburgh. I wasn't in Pittsburgh six years ago. Modestly, my boy, the purest of all virtues. And you have it abundantly. Well, I have fulfilled my mission of good will. And now, may I say au revoir? You may. Au revoir. Of all the nutty things to happen. What do you make of it? Gag, Julia, somebody's having a lot of fun. By handing out a deed? Look, it's dated three months ago. Did you ever hear the Locust Club? No. And it doesn't exist. And if it does, it's a hole in the wall that nobody goes to anyway. Mark, what are you doing? What? Well, I'll be cooked. I meant to tear up the deed and I tore up the theater tickets instead. Dearest, would you call that a mistake? Well... It's backfiring. I'm not going to the Locust Club. I'm not going. And don't try to persuade me. All right, darling, I won't. Why should I be a sucker for a gag? Would you stay home and look at the walls? Ah, look at them, dear. Aren't they beautiful? Hiya, Sally. What brings you here so early? I'll give you one guess. You fell out of bed. I met Claude Farroway in New York. He told me one of Grimm's fairy tales. Which one? About you giving this club away to a guy named Mark Manning. Oh. As a matter of fact, the deed was recorded three months ago. What? But Manning got it tonight. I figured it was tonight or never. Why, Lou? The, uh, the weatherman predicted a heat wave. Uh-oh. When did he start predicting? Three months ago, Kitty said it was getting warm. So you ditched the club. You couldn't wait. I was taken no chances. You know how the weather is around here once it gets warm. Why didn't you tell me? I like your face, baby. Without wrinkles. You should have told me. Lou, we've been together for a long time. We always shared and shared a light. The club was mine, Sally. I felt like giving it away. I wasn't talking about that. Oh, sure. You don't care about the material things. Well, what happens now? Break it down, Cookie. Do we stick around or do we go to a better climate? We stick around. In the heat? We got nothing to worry about. Mark Manning's a new boss. We're working for him. OK, but suppose he screams. I expect him to. Great. How will that register with the weatherman? Sally, you disappoint me. You used to be able to figure the angles. When I knew who to figure him against. But who's Mark Manning? What kind of a guy is he? He breathes for a living. I quit kidding, Lou. What's the difference? I checked him and found out he's got a weakness for nightclub. That doesn't mean he's going to like what you're doing to him. You're not figuring the angles, baby. I've got that guy covered from so many angles he'll stab himself to death trying to get out. Mark, this can't be the place. This can't be the local club that Mr. Faraway was talking about. You see another one around here, Julia? Good heavens. Somebody must be out of his mind. This is luxurious. No understatements, please. Most people, hundreds of them. Sitting at tables, eating and drinking. Yes, that's so much nicer than writing on the tablecloth. Mark, aren't you excited about this? Excited, here. My nerves are bouncing like handballs. Well, you might show it. I will. First, I've got to stop wondering. Oh. That's right, darling. Why should I get a paying proposition like this for nothing? Yes. Come on, let's find out. Welcome to the Locust Club, where the food is good and the prices are nice. Hello. You got a reservation? No, but you see. You're right a lot, mister.  Let me explain. We didn't come at chance. Now, the next time you want to eat here, better phone in advance. She stands for Joe. That's me. Make a note of it, Mark. All right, dear. I'll write it down. Joe, is this place always as crowded as this? Only at night, lady. It's closed all day. Well, my husband and I are going to change that policy. We're going to serve lunch. Honey, if you don't mind shifting to the guard position, I'd like to go through center. Of course, dear. Thanks. Now, Joe, where's the owner of this place? The owner? I said it first. You mean the real owner? Let sit down, Joe. You must be pretty tired. Well, do no good, mister. I'm even tired when I sit. Let me try it, Mark. Joe, who signs the checks? Oh, him. Yeah, him. He ain't in. Take a deep breath, Joe. Now, what time will he be in? He got me there, mister. I never even seen a guy. You mean you never had a glimpse of Lou Barton? Him? Oh, sure, lots of times. But he don't own it no more. A fellow called Mark Manning's the new boss. And we've been sort of waiting to get a look at him.  I'm Mark Manning. All right, I looked already. You? Mark, you shouldn't do such things. You made him open his eyes. Where's Lou Barton, Joe? Sure, sure. He's in that office right there. He said for me to send him in soon, did I? You sure you never heard of a Lou Barton? Not by name, dear. Think of it, I seem to remember. Somewhere long time ago? You're thinking of Sydney Carton, the guy who lost his head in the tale of two cities? Of course. Now look here, Mark Manning. The office. Who's there? Huh? I don't recognize the voice either. Let's go in, Julia. I said who's there, buddy. Are you Lou Barton? Yeah, what do you want? I'm Mark Manning. Mark? Mark?  Gee, I'm glad to see you, Mark. It's been such a long time. Hey, hey, well, wait a minute. Oh, what's the matter, sweetheart? Don't even rate a kiss?  Get away from me. Now now, listen, Julia, you've got to believe me. Do I? It's a gag, like the club. I've never seen that gal before. I'll bet. Why, Mark, how can you say such a thing after all those wonderful times we had in Pittsburgh?  This is my wife, Julia. Hello. Oh, she's not bad, bud. All right, you two. What's this all about? We're just glad to see you, that's all. Why? Why? Sally, something's happened to our old pal. What is it, Mark? What's changed? Cut it out, Barton. Was it marriage, but she looks like a nice girl? I said cut it out, Barton. OK. OK. I've been double-crossed before. Get me a drink, Sally. This is hard to take. Oh, I can't believe it, Lou. I just can't believe it. Julia, darling, I don't know these people. I never met them before. Of course, dear. You've got to listen to me. I'll do that later when we get home. But right now, don't you think we ought to find out why they gave you this club? I gave it to them, Julia.  You don't remember, do you, Mark? Well, to you, it was a little thing. But to me, I'll never forget it that night in Pittsburgh six years ago. What did I do? What did he do? You hear that, Sally? How can you live in the same world with a guy like that? That's life, sweetheart. Yeah. Listen, Mark, at great risk to your own life, you pulled me out of a fire. I've been building myself up for six years to show my appreciation. Then you can start building yourself down. I don't want your club. Here's your deed. Uh-oh. You can't do that, pal. Take a look. I've done it. Let's say you made it the try. There's a copy of that deed on file at the land office. What? It's been there for three months. And I've got proof, two signatures, that you accepted this club as consideration for no debt. The whole transaction was notarized by a certain Mr. Faraway. Yeah. Well, Julia, shall we go out front and take a look at my property? I still don't understand. Neither do I, darling. But why bother to figure things out now? We got our whole lives ahead of us. Now, what's left of them? Did you say something, Mark? No, dear, but I'd like to. This place is beginning to get me. Uh-huh. Julia? Yes. Did something happen to me six years ago? Something you never told me about? Why don't you ask Sally? Is it possible I had amnesia? What? Did I wander off to Pittsburgh and, you know, without knowing what I was doing? Take a look at this menu. I don't feel like eating. Julia, you've got to tell me the truth. It's printed on this menu. Take a look at it. Maybe you'll get amnesia now. Don't stare at me. Look at the menu.  Is that what I'm doing? You're also selling cocktails for a quarter and lamb chops for 75 cents. Wow. You know what a steak and lamb chops cost these days? When you have to buy them? Yeah, but maybe we're giving them small portions, huh? Yeah, that must be it. Come on, let's take a look at the kitchen. Greetings, greetings, and salutations, people of good fortune. Run for your life, Mark. Here comes that man again. Ah, a true of inspection, huh?  I've been thinking far away. Naturally. This glittering bistro lends itself. At what rate of interest, Mr. Faraway? Ah, yes. Your ideas, Mr. Manning. How would you like to see Del Monaco's come to life again? Ah, what a thought. My boy, you've touched a tender spot. Long, slumbering memories. You're going to see it here at popular prices. Why improve, darling? These prices are popular or not. First, I'll rip out all those light fixtures and put in soft, indirect lighting. Then I'll throw out all those tables and chairs. Hey, where's the boss at this place? What? No. See, you're my good man. Never mind the compliments. All I want is the owner, Mark Manning. The guy in the office told me he was out here. Hi, Mr. Manning. OK. You owe green and black 1,000 bucks for light fixtures. Do I? Who says so? I do. Deputy Sheriff O'Malley. You owe white and brown 700 bucks for tables and chairs. Now, wait a minute. And there's an unpaid food bill for 800 bucks, a total of 2,500 bucks. Would you like to pay me now, Mr. Manning? I certainly would not. OK, boys. Stop ripping out all those tables. Delmonico's darling. Should we go home now? Stop them, Sheriff. You can't do this without a court order. Well, here it is, Mr. You could read it if you want to. Hey, you reckless. Get into the kitchen and start packing up the food. Now, listen, Sheriff. And you over there. Start working on the tables and chairs. Far away. You're going to stop them. What can I do about it? Well, let me see. I'm a business consultant and manager. Listen, don't sell yourself to me now. I also have some knowledge of the law, young man. This paper is quite legal. My advice is to pay. But far away. If you don't, these men will ruin the place.  You mean I'm stuck? I'm afraid so. Pay now, and we'll find ways and means of recovery later. All right, Sheriff. I'll give you one check for the whole amount. Hey, suit yourself, Mr. You. How does that line go, Sheriff? All the glitters. Don't ask me, lady. The mayor don't give us much time for reading. How often? Not even a horror story? Hold everything, boys. Here's your check, Sheriff. A year. OK, boys, grab it. They're all creatures, aren't they? I brought them upright. OK, boys, we're through here. Let's go home. Now far away, what about those ways and means of recovery? Not so fast, Mr. Manning. The law books are in my office. Hurry up and get your nose into them. I want action. I'll do that at once. Come on, Julia. We're going to give Mr. Barton another interview. Mark, you poor darling. Three whole months of Thanksgiving and you've already had your turkey. You don't believe me, do you, Mark? No, Lou, I don't. Well, maybe I shouldn't blame you. But I tell you, I didn't know a thing about those judgments. You told the sheriff where to find me. You had me all set up for the rap. Is that what you really think, pal? What's the idea of unloading this lemon on me? Oh, and while we're on the subject of fruit, Mr. Barton, where's Sally? Oh, she went out for a minute. Julia. Yes, Mark?  Do I get an answer or do I have to pull it out of the teeth? You're all wrong, pal. But I'll make it right. How much did the sheriff take you for? $2,500. All right. Here's my certified check for $10,000 made out to you. Your what? Certified, you know, OK'd by the bank. That, darling, is what I call a profit. 300% even these days it ain't bad. Yeah. And in order to get that check, what do I have to do? Just deed the club back to me. And by an odd coincidence, you've got one already made out. Yeah, funny, isn't it? You're too well prepared for emergencies, Mark. That's because I'm farsighted. Here's the pen. And there's the dotted line. Julia. Don't ask me what to do, Mark.  Well, I'm sorry, Lou. I'll need time to think it over. Why? I'm curious. And when I'm curious, I ask Julia the next time she feels like talking. Better use that pen, Manny. Press? It also writes under blood.  So I've been told. All right, I'll take the pen. And as long as you've got me, I'll stick the gun to you. Cut it out. Look out. He's going to trick you. Drop it, pardon me. Put your foot down. I think so, or maybe I'm kidding myself. He fell down. Mark, are you sure he's dead? You couldn't be wrong. If he ever starts breathing again, you can ask him. What do we do now? Find out who killed him, Julia. Didn't you?  Yes, dear, but not the one Barton was holding. What are you talking about? Huh? Keep yourself. Boy, it's fully loaded. Mm-hmm. Then it's got to be murder. Yeah. But where did the shot come from? The door. No, dear, I was facing it. The window? A lot. Julia, come here. What's the matter? Darling, if you put a throw rug on the floor, would you leave it with a bump in the middle? Mark, you know I'm very fatigued here about. Why didn't you tell me there was a trapped door under that rug? I couldn't, dear, until I moved it. Tell her. Darling, sometimes you're so bright, I can't understand why you married an ordinary man like me. Let's go down and watch your step. Do we have to do this, Mark? No, but we've gone this far. Why not follow through? Dark. Damp down here. Just think of it as atmosphere. I'd rather not. Mark, look! Oh, darling, don't jump at me like that when I'm hunting a killer. Never mind that. Look at all those cases, Mark, liquor. Julia, dear, upstairs is a nightclub where people drink that stuff. But there must be hundreds of them. There are millions all over the world. Mark Manning, I'm talking about the cases in this cellar. Oh. Here's one that's open. Just take one bottle, dear. We'll come back for the rest later. Mark, this isn't liquor. What? It's the most wonderful thing that's happened to me. I'm afraid I'm going to cry.  Talk to me. In this bottle. And in all these cases, Mark, liquor. Is that what you call talking? Viva Moore. Vivian who? Viva Moore, that new French perfume. $100 an ounce. We can't afford those luxuries yet, dear. What did you say? It's all mine. I'm set for life. All my friends are set for life. Julia, that's contraband. No, it's Viva Moore. Here, smell it. It's contraband, dear. Smuggle stuff. Lou Barton's racket. I unloaded this club on me. You mean I can't use it? Uncle Sam has a prior claim. Oh, that man. Take it easy. Let me explain something. You'll never make me happy, Mark. Lou Barton must have been bringing his stuff in without telling our uncle about it. Uncle got suspicious about three months ago, and Lou gave me a deed without telling me. He even filed it. That made me the owner, Julia, and the fall guy. All this wonderful perfume. And they'll probably send it back to France. They don't send me to jail. What? You know that place with bars on it? But why you? He pushed a stick into me and called me a lollipop. Oh. But why did Barton offer to do $10,000 to get his club back? To get his club back. That's what I asked you. That deed he wanted me to sign was going to be locked up until after Uncle Sam locked me up. I get it. And after that, he was going to file it. Yep. All right now, let's go look for a murderer. Down here? At least how a murderer got out. There was a small light at the other end of the cell where it might be an exit. I wish it weren't so dull. Well, just follow me. I'll run an appearance. Keep talking, Julia. Then I'll know you're with me. Uh-huh. Well, I'll be out of here in a few minutes. Uh-huh. And then we'll clear up this murder, and I'll be in the clear about the club and the smuggling market. Uh-huh. Darling, at a time like this, I hate to be petty. But what's happened to your vocabulary? I just found it, Mark. Sorry. Uh-huh. Where's Julia? She's resting. Over there. What have you done to her? I smacked her and let her down very gently. Get out of my way. I've got to go see her. Mark, I didn't tell you what I smacked her with. Oh, I don't care. I've got to go. It's a great gadget. It shoots, too. Look, Sally, she's never been hit on the head before. Just give me a chance to see how she is. There's no time. Well, the two of you want to be buried in the same river. Can't you be reasonable? You have to be hard-boiled. Come on, Cookie. We're going to your apartment. Too much. Uh-oh, no, no, no, not with Julia lying there. Faithful to the end, huh? Well, turn around and walk toward that light or this will be the end, sweetheart. And no on-course. Sally, I'm doing the best I can. Stop pushing that gun into my back. What do you want from me, Mark? The thing's impatient and wants to get inside. Don't tell it to wait a minute. I'm nervous. My hands are trembling. You ought to see a doctor. Maybe you won't have to. I know a swell undertaker. Get in. All right, all right. But you should have let me take Julia out of that cellar. Stand in there. Hey, Joe. Is he here, too? No, I just took a deep breath. Is that you, Sally? Oh, sir, you got him. What were you doing in that bedroom? I was laying down. I got tired waiting for you. That's a comfortable bed, isn't it? The best. Say, what kind of a mattress you got on it? First, you tell me how you got in here. Oh, I got keys that fit every door. Now, any time you want me to do it.  OK, I don't care. Welcome to the Locust Club, where the food is good and the prices are nicest. Hey, he remembers my spirit. Yeah, sit down, Mark. We're going to make the extraction as painless as possible. But what extraction? Show it to him, Joe. I'll be glad to. Here, Mr. Mammy. By these present, do we here with? Say, this is a deed of the Locust Club. From you to me. Sign it. But sign it. Well, what's Joe here for? Protection? He makes a cross like a witness. Oh, that ain't fear, Sally. You know I can, right? Yeah, yeah. And you promised me a silent partnership in the whole business. Joe, do you have to talk so much? No, I don't have to talk at all. Stay that way. OK. Well, Manning, do you write your name on that deed or do I write you off as a bad risk? All right, I always had respect for a gun. Is this where I sign? Where it says, seller. That's where we'll have Julia. Just sign it. We'll laugh later. Wouldn't you know this would happen at a critical point in my life? What's the matter, Mark? Pen is dry. Well, I'll fill it. You don't have to. Give him your pen, Joe. OK. But I don't want too many people using it. The point gets twisted out. Joe. I had it right here in my coat pocket. Honestly. Dig down into the pocket. Look, I'm doing it. Oh, I know. It must have dropped out while I was laying down. I'll go look in the bag. What was that, Mark? Your last laugh? I was thinking of what Joe said before. Yeah? He said, honest, Sally. That just ain't true. Small talk.  You shouldn't have looked around, Sally. Let me go. Let the gun go first. Oh, stop. You're hurting my. That's all, Sally. Now we'll just let Julia in. And we can have a party. Darling, Mr. Manning. Come in far away. I can't begin to tell you what a disappointment you are. I'm sorry. You know Sally. Yes, Mr. Barton's aide to cab. Good evening. So what? I won't be but a minute. Mr. Manning, I have bad news for you. Who hasn't? I looked up the law on that matter. I'm afraid your $2,500 is lost. Nice of you to come here to tell me. You gave me a merry chase, sir. I went to the Locust Club, but the place was deserted. Fortunately, I remembered your address, so well. How much do I owe you? Please, Mr. Manning, don't defile me with offers of money. But there is another matter. Sure. The matter of Mr. Barton and the Locust Club. What? Well, my boy, it seems that you are not the man who saved his life in Pittsburgh six years ago. He regrets the error deeply, and he's most anxious to compensate you. Therefore, he has asked me to buy the club back from you. You will give me a deed, and I will give you this. A check for $10,000. Certified. A magnificent sum. I believe you'll find it satisfactory. Yeah. But far away, don't you know that death cancels a deal? Death? Whose death are you talking about, Lou Barton? He was murdered. Oh, no. When? Well, why didn't someone tell me? I found a pen, Sally. It was under. Hey, what's that guy doing here? Waiting for the pen, Joe. Give it to him. Mr. Faraway is most anxious to write a get-me-letter to the police. Mr. Manning, did I hear you say police? Yeah. And if you listen carefully, I'll tell you why. Oh, my head. Now, sit still, darling. Keep that ice pack on. But it's messing up my hair. Now you will do get your brains back in shape. You want me to tell you how I nabbed Faraway, the third from the left? I don't want you to tell me anything, leaving me in that dusty old cellar, just because that woman had it gone. Don't you think that was a good reason, Angel? What about Faraway, the third from the left? He wanted to get his hands on the Lopez Club and the perfume racket they went with. And Barton gave him the opportunity when he deeded the club to you and then tried to get it back. Huh? Are you sure you've got a headache, Julia? How'd you know that Faraway was the murderer? He was surprised that Barton was dead. Not enough, darling. He tried to buy the club back for me. Still not enough? He gave me that certified check we left in Barton's office after he was killed. That does it. Help me up, dear. I think I would walk around for a while. Well, wouldn't you rather go to bed? I'll feel much better if I stick it. What was that? Oh, my Viva Moore. You brought that bottle home? I had it wrapped up in my hat. And my hat was on my lap, $100 an ounce. Oh, my head. And so closes tonight's story, A Deed in Deed. Steadman Coles wrote the radio script, Roger Bauer, produced and directed. Sidney Smith played the part of Mark Manning. Helen Shields was Julia Manning. Larry Haynes was heard as Lou Barton. Julie Stevens was Sally. Murray Forbes played Faraway. Phil Bauer was Joel. And Barry Tosman was Sheriff O'Malley. Oh, I beg your pardon. Hello. I hope I haven't kept you waiting.

YouTube team keep it clean What is going on? It's engraving here with another video and I tried to warn people I just did not see Jarvis Landry going to the Ravens Every single time add him to the list add him to the list Every single time this offseason the Ravens have expressed public interest in a player Every single time that player go somewhere else Now I'm happy for the Saints now because y'all know we got love for the Saints The Saints got like some of the best fans in the world. So shout out to the Saints We're gonna talk about y'all in a minute. Give me a second. But for Ravens fans. I kept saying I just do not see it Happening. I don't see it happening. It makes sense. It's a movie that made sense But again the public interest man When when it was first reported that the Ravens were interested in Jarvis Landry, I didn't get hyped I didn't get excited because I just felt like we done been down this road as Ravens fans too long this offseason Ravens were publicly interested in Tyron Matthew. They were publicly interested in Melvin Gordon They were publicly interested in Bobby Wagner They were public publicly interested in Jarvis Landry and All of those players they end up going elsewhere and Zadaria Smith. That's a whole nother story But so many times it just continued to seem like the Ravens were being used as Leverage like the Ravens were just being used. So whatever particular player that they were interested in They could end up going somewhere else But shout out to New Orleans now. I wonder before we get into a Jarvis Landry can bring the New Orleans I wonder if this means anything for Michael Thomas Because while I'm not expecting Jarvis Landry to get some massive deal We've been seeing this offseason how teams They'll get a receiver But they'll even if a team has stacked their receiver. They'll add more but then they'll subtract and Give somebody away So I wonder because the Saints just drafted on Chris a lot of a in the first round they drafted him in the first round. You still got Michael Thomas. They re-signed Trey Kwan Smith, they re-signed him and now you bring it on Jarvis Landry. Oh I don't know. I mean, I hope Michael Thomas doesn't leave but at the same time Would Michael Thomas be traded now? I don't know. I don't know just something to think about the way that I feel Hey, if for James James Winston, that's gonna be your guy. Obviously the more weapons the merrier The more the merrier that will be a beautiful thing to for him to have even more weapons But the way that this NFL is the way today's NFL is I don't know man. I don't know. So we're gonna be seeing very very soon But anyway, because that that that question that question will definitely be answered very fast Um, so to the Saints, let's talk about the same. Can we talk about the Ravens this whole time? Oh Saints Saints they get some from LSU too First they they just signed a honey badge a couple weeks ago and now they sign in job. It's like they sign all these LSU products So they gonna fit right in they gonna fit right in the culture the vibe the energy Oh, it's gonna be there. But what does Jarvis Landry give the New Orleans Saints? he gives them a leader and When you talk about football you can talk about how fast somebody is you can talk about how tall somebody is how great the hands are How great their blocking is how great of a tackleer they are how big of a hitter they are Run blocking pass blocking innocent all that you can talk about all that stuff But leadership is something That is extremely valuable and it makes such a big difference And me like speaking as a Raven fan. I didn't really appreciate leadership On a team until Ray Lewis left Ray Lewis left airy left That's when I well airy kind of got kicked out. But anyway when they left That's when I really appreciated leadership because before it just like came second nature. I'm like, oh, yeah, we got leaders on the team They straight took it for granted as a fan But once that's gone, it's like, whoa, whoa, what happened to this team? And then it helps a lot when leaders got talent too. So Jarvis Landry brings leadership But he also brings talent as well Jarvis Landry is perfect word to describe him as a wide receiver grinder a grinder He is not afraid to get the gritty yards. He ain't afraid to go across the middle He's a a short intermediate type of threat He is a just a strong yak guy. He ain't gonna be shaking nobody But he um as a solid route runner with good hands And just he he's gonna give it to you.  You just brought in chris alive You just brought him in you just drafted him. He's a rookie fresh So now you have multiple guys you got Michael Thomas too, but I feel like with Jarvis Landry He's more of a leader probably than Michael Thomas Um, and that's not a shot at Michael Thomas at all But that's just what it is So you have guys in place to where These guys can help your young receiver put him in position to succeed Tell him the ends the outs a this is how you make it in this league. This is what you do This is what you shouldn't do But also some guys that got they got careers to back it up Like Jarvis Landry ain't no bum Michael Thomas ain't no bum Like these guys these guys can play like because if they if they was a receiver that was like I don't want to say sorry because none of these NFL players are sorry But if there was a receiver who was trying to give like chris alive a tips and whatnot and that receiver like really hadn't done much They had made it to the NFL granted, but they hadn't really done much chris alive. He'll be looking at him like What I'm supposed to learn from him But now you got you got all that knowledge in the room to learn from and to grow from And you have like different levels of it too Because you have a Michael Thomas and a uh Jarvis Landry They both have gotten the big contracts already and then you got trey qual smith He hasn't got a big contract, but he's got the uh the the sort of mid-level contracts or lower mid-level contracts And he's been hanging around and he's been an impact player for those saints Especially when uh when drew breeze was there So you got some guys that know how to make it in the league. So that'll be Uh an a plus uh for him Um, so yeah, this is just this is what a friday, man What a friday I'm still wondering about michael thomas though still wondering about it I wonder if it's like hey because because we've seen this over the years with so many different teams, man At different positions with just when you think oh man, this team is about to have a plethora of Disposition. Oh, man. They got so many of this x position. They got so many y position They got so many abc position and then they were like, oh, no, we're actually getting rid of this guy So that's why i'm still just wondering about michael thomas Uh, but Jarvis Landry, he was with the dolphins spent some time there did this thing Uh, then he went to the browns spent some time there did his thing And he was a big part of the browns really turning stuff around because we know the browns They would have laughed at the stock of the nfl for a long time And i mean some people feel like they still are But he did a big part in just really changing the culture there Really changing the culture So he was huge in that now with new orleans, they're definitely not a laugh in stock But new orleans is sort of in this weird spot right now To where you know, they love jaymond swinston love jaymond swinston jaymond swinston just they just be vibing, man Always love and appreciate his energy But then this weird spot right now like all right is jaymond swinston going to be the guy He's he's going to have an opportunity Or are we going to have to look elsewhere? So, um, this is a big year for jaymond swinston I think they signed him to a i want to say it was a two-year deal I think it was a two-year deal and hopefully he can stay healthy because last year sucked when he tore What was it his acl was a killies either one? um But yeah, hopefully that that'll be all squeaky clean. He can come back Um, and he can be better than ever uh for new orleans should be a fun Monday night football game new orleans versus baltimore in new orleans Oh, the temptation to go to that game. It's there. The temptation is all there, man Um, but hey, we'll see how everything works itself out. Uh, but anyway, congrats to the saints Ravens fans I try it. I try to I try to tell y'all man. I try to tell y'all, but it's okay. It's okay It's okay We'll get through it, right? We always do, right? But yeah, happy for new orleans. Jarvis Landry gets to go back home. Anyway team keep it clean. I appreciate y'all I love y'all so much We out


The Ventura County Sheriff says a gunman opened fire inside as it was crowded with more than 100 people. It is an all too familiar scene, shots fired in a public building. History has shown us it can happen anywhere, anytime. Meaning first responders have to be ready at all times. Welcome to Camp San Luis Obispo, just off Highway 1. It is not only the original home of the California National Guard. It is also home to the California Specialized Training Institute, or CSTI. The California Specialized Training Institute, or CSTI as we call it, is our training arm of the Office of Emergency Services. CSTI has a wide range of courses and offers some of the most versatile and comprehensive facilities in the country. Among their most sought after courses, active shooter drills, part of their officer safety and field tactics class. Part of that is training law enforcement throughout the state and everything from active shooter to how do you manage a crisis situation that's evolving. The average class runs from 30 to 40 students and they aren't throughout the entire state of California. Alex Cabasa is the CSTI superintendent. When these guys show up on Camp San Luis Obispo to train, we got them for 40 to 60 hours. They don't have to go back to their home stations to their jobs, respond to any calls. So we got a captive audience so we're running them for those 40 to 60 hours. This is a positive environment to get a lot of really excellent high quality training done. The training here is intense. Split second decisions can be a matter of life. It's your life or somebody else's life. Or death. Having an officer who's new, who's a firefighter who doesn't shoot an AR-15 very often or a long gun, they understand just how easy it is to hit something that far away and accurately. So, you know, if you have an active shooter and you're shooting across a school campus, can you do it accurately? You know, standing there, can you do it kneeling, can you do it prone? Do you have your license and registration? The training covers everything from routine traffic stops to darkened warehouses to responding to shots fired on a campus set. We have the availability to turn our facility into a school, a warehouse, an office building, any place where active shooters typically take place. There's a different type of active shooter drill taking place here. We're on the USC campus in Los Angeles. This is Tommy's place. It's a popular student hangout. Thursday night, the place is packed. Except tonight, all of these people have volunteered to take place in this exercise. They are all aware that within a few minutes, an active shooter is coming in. There's nothing more important than the safety of our students here at USC. So, we spend literally a year preparing for this exercise. Today's scenario, we were recreating something very similar to what happened in Ventura with the country, the nightclub. What we did is we had a theater and we had loud music. We had lights. We had smoke. And that was to create sensory overload for the officers and responders coming in. As we've learned in law enforcement and all cops know this, when something happens and you're under stress, you're going to do what you train to do. Everything about this drill is as realistic as possible. Hundreds of cameras across the USC campus are being monitored. A mobile command center is quickly set up in a nearby parking lot. Multiple agencies throughout L.A. County work together to respond. And special makeup called Mulage mimics gunshot wounds. I was a gunshot victim. I had three shots around the ankle so I couldn't walk or move. At day job, Micah Winder is an occupational therapy professor at USC. For this drill, tonight, she went all in. Volunteering to play the role of a shooting victim. I think everyone did a great job participating. And I feel more confident if something like this were to happen. I forbid that we would be more prepared. Back on the CSTI campus at Camp San Luis Obispo. Officers go through a friend or foe drill. More split-second decisions. More training for the day they hope will never come. We are just normal human beings like everybody else that are put into these situations that are split-second decisions. There's no forethought of malice. We're going in to protect ourselves and primarily the public that we represent. The use of force is really a last option and a limited option that we have. If you'd like more information on the California Specialized Training Institute, visit the CSTI page on our website caloes.ca.gov. For all of us at Cal OES, I'm Brian May.


Namaste, good morning. I am Amuja Sagarkar from the University of Mumbai. Me and my colleagues are here to share our experiences of imparting education to distance students and regular students as well as specially gifted or challenged students. Mumbai University as my colleague yesterday has mentioned is a big complex system, one of the very early universities in India. We have seven lakh students who are taking education in regular mode and we have one lakh students, they are taking education in distance mode. Amongst the distance mode education we have more than, every year we get hundreds of students who are visually impaired and physically disabled and all. So that made us to think of how can we facilitate those people or differently challenge the people and can there be any system. This presentation has three types of things I can say. One is about our experience of imparting education to the students so we have developed some applications which we would like to incorporate as a part of Moodle, so plug-ins we are looking for. And towards the end we will have some things which would help us for taking the research ahead. So here, let me start with one of the success stories. Yesterday many a times it is heard that regular face-to-face what we call it face-to-face university students or college students and teachers, they generally are not very enthusiastic in implementing Moodle kind of things because they say that is something for the large scale. And when we meet every day why should we go? And even if somebody enthusiastically set up some such venture, then updates are very rarely seen and most of the times that becomes that has only vanity held you where my department has set up a Moodle server. So it is not continued. My colleagues only were telling yesterday from Alkesh Dinesh Modi and all that enthusiasm is less and we need to incorporate many features and all how to do that is what the question is. Now let me start with the story which is a true success story. My colleague Ani is there here. She wanted to, her responsibility was to handle 300 students to meet some exams, assignment submissions and a quiz per semester. So we all know, many of us yesterday shared this kind of experiences that this is very much burdened and where all the time is to go for the Moodle kind of activities. But here once this was interested to her, she got Moodle as a solution. So she went on her own and set up her own Moodle server on her web page where the college did not support initially. And then she could show that, yes, it works. For her, the challenge was, one more challenge was there. Yeah, teaching administration and research, those are trivial things for a college teacher and university teacher. But her college location is such that it is very tempting. It's at the seashore. So always handing out the students from the seashore and getting them into the class and then asking them to be in the examination. That was a task. And therefore, this lady decided, okay, let them enjoy the seashore, not a problem, just what? They have to respond to me from the seashore. And that worked very nicely. Now, yeah, it's a really true story, which I was also very much inspired by her gesture. Now, she has put up this thing, the link is open for 15 days. Which day you want to sit wherever, that's your choice. And then after that, the link will be closed. And then, of course, then she can start her assessment and then she does everything on Moodle assessment. As and when the assessment is carried out, immediately students are receiving the responses, what they have submitted and then how they have made progress. So students are happy to listen to those things and they also can interact amongst themselves, and the seashore and then talking to the teachers. So this was a very interesting scenario which I can say and enjoy the learning and all that happened over there. Next was, well, when she was successful in doing that, then the college management was interested in knowing what is happening. Every time she is on time and then students are enjoying and doing, it was a task for BICOM and BS students teaching them computer science. But still they enjoyed it. So then college people when they know, okay, she has done something interesting, say how can we take it ahead. Then there were some people approached that's under philanthropy, rural areas, teachers and students, how can we equip them. This lady went and set up a Moodle workshop which also worked online. Everywhere from the rural of Goa, she is from Goa, they connected to her server and she had trained some of them and sessions at their requirement, their convenience, they were, they are trained and now, okay, one more step they want to go ahead, how can we use these things for our people. So maybe there are a couple of hundred students in a school and if you want to allow them or engage them, it's not a matter that how big setup you have. Given a very small setup also, you can encourage the students. That is what the story tells you. Most of us know the hole in the wall project that caught attention of a world in education. So a very small type of computer was put up and many people were attracted towards these kids especially and that was a kind of interactive and collaborative learning that they encouraged. Sugato Mitra's project. Now this happened the same, on the same line I can take this, she suggested don't go for 100 machines lab or something like that, which calls for money, for administration and everything, which you probably may not afford. Now have a small lab where 10-15 machines are kept and it will be open for couple of hours after your office hours are open, office hours are done. Now the students will come over there, chit chat, interact, they can go for play on the ground, whatever they want and some of them will turn to this lab also, there they do something and again this will continue. So today's group may not be coming tomorrow and therefore 15 machines are enough for 200 students in that school. But that is how the freedom and volunteer learning was encouraged. Now the teachers, whoever were available from college and universities, they are so conspired, as a part of our Moodal venture, now the mentoring is done online. It's not possible for me, even if I'm very enthusiastic to help my students and kids around to allocate the time like every day I will be available on so and so day. If it is available, if there is a calendar I can say, okay, Mark, I'm available today. So either of us will be available and kids are taken care. So that's how it helped and definitely that is one of the very success stories. Another success story I want to take ahead was about how to collect the feedback. Yesterday my colleague, I do really appreciate her gesture of allowing us to participate in that feedback. How to keep the students engaged. Now here it is a story of my colleague. She is Manisha. She always was thinking collecting feedback from the students itself is a task because we have to create questions of different variety. So now creating a question calls for a different type of skills. So how to train teacher on that skill was a question. So her solution was not that she said, okay, let us allow teachers, students, whoever wants to collaborate on that, creating a question. Let us put a question bank and then question bank, of course, when we create a question back as a central effort, then it has to have a structured and sensible questions. Whereas my students and many of us also are not very good at creating a very good quality, clear questions, less vague questions and given the type of the question based upon the given type creating the question. So her solution was we can have something like they will let them create a raw question and the raw question, she has created a program which modifies that question and get it to the well-formed question. So she calls it from ill-formed question to well-formed question. Now those well-formed questions become a part of our question repository. From there another problem is solved when I was dealing with distance education of 1 lakh students because of our engagement with the student and learning enhancement efforts, we had an idea that every day let us put one question to the students. Let them answer or not, some of them will answer and others will at least come to know some such things are happening. Many times in distance mode it is a requirement that we should keep our students awakened. I was thinking, chatbot was a wonderful thing but then chatbot works helps you when you go there and ask a question. So what I meant is that we have to go and check whether the students are awake and if not then we have to keep them sending alerts saying be awake, here is something for you. So sending one question a day was an interesting idea but my teachers had the same thing, every day sending a question may not be possible. Now this repository is readily available so quickly they can pick up the script, small script is there that picks it up. Now how we created that? The question was how to create a large number of questions. One of our experiences is that we were working with the spoken tutorial. Once the spoken tutorial, of course that is also self-learning environment, after completing the spoken tutorial a student is supposed to take a test and understand where each level the student is, a learner is. So that is why we are creating questions manually. Later on when the number grew like 1,000 students were trained it was difficult for us. Then what we tried was always keeping the students interest engaged is more happening more when we ask students to create questions then to we ask them to answer the questions. If we ask them to answer the questions then most probably they pick up the answer and instead what I asked them is now you have taken the tutorial you pose a question so that I will learn the type of questions you are posing I will know how much you are through it. Through that experiment we created around 500 questions in one week and the question bank was refined that time manually but now I am sure we can go ahead with Manisha's automatic question quality enhancer model. Thank you. This is what an automatic question quality enhancer model what we are expecting over here that instead of generating the questions which is a job of the tutor so we want to assist the tutor either the tutor can generate the questions or if you are providing a tool that a machine can generate the question for us that what a study material is being provided based on that what a question can be generated but of course we know that what artificial intelligence is playing a role over here. So we have to think that what generated questions are of the good quality or not. So the observation is that some of the questions are accepted by the human annotators but the few of the questions we have observed that they are with the informities like mathematical questions or maybe the vague questions like that so our model is that taking those questions generated by the machine or a human it will find it out that based on the surface feature that those questions are ill-formed or well-formed if the questions means based on those features first of all the score is being generated so score decides that whether the question is to be acceptable or it would be rejected. So we have defined over here a threshold value that is about 3.5 we can say the questions need some sort of a modification and below that what the questions mostly what we can say that what they should be rejected. So a score model will check the questions score based on that rejection strategy or a modification strategy or some sort of a sentence simplification strategy would be defined. So questions which are not being further enhanced we observed that those questions are not being enhanced due to the complex structure of a sentence. So this is what a functioning of our small script this is what one of the example I want to share with you we are providing a simple sentence to the system we call it as a best sentence that Tiaq obtained his Bachelor of Arts a statement is to be now what machine is doing machine is automatically generating a questions based on this best sentence now a question generated we have to rate whether we should accept such questions or not now what happened over here underlined phrase of is a partial phrase considered by a system to frame a question and of course a human evaluator has rejected this question saying that what a question is not correct because of what a some of the part of an answer phrase is present in the questions. So what our suggestion is to be so our equi model suggests that a complete answer phrase is this that is Bachelor of Arts and based on that again you reformulate these questions and give a correct question to the system similarly another example what we can say this is very simple factabake question is being generated when two noun phrases comes with a numeral adjectives that time a system failed to extract those numeral adjectives so one numeral adjective is extracted but another numeral adjective associated with that noun phrase is not being removed by the system so such kind of an errors are being marked and those are being removed so these are what the benefits we can find of course as we discussed in the morning that we are not replacing the humans or we can say the tutors but we are assisting the tutors so this saves the time as a questions are ready so we can have to monitor that which are the good quality questions which are triggering cognitive questions and different kind of questions like a factabased as well as what a general based questions can be formulated and more engagement is being possible through this module thank you so with this the question the task was the student can just select the text and then questions are generated and then those are modified then we continued with the competitive spirit yesterday what the things was discussed this is how it is helping and in our environment that kind of culture is not there students are coming only for the examination purpose I disagree with this opinion because out of our experience what we observed was if there is a competitive environment the spirit is already up I can quote a number of examples where the previous students were not very enthusiastic but because we kept on posting what is happening in the community they were picking up yes I want to go ahead of somebody and therefore the healthy competition was observed and automatically as a side effect we had so many things like content and all content and question banks were generated so it is like results highlighted and posted on group and get more pupils with added enthusiasm was our experience now assessment of descriptive type responses MOOC encourages peer evaluation that was a very much thing when my colleagues were scared of one lakh students you are asking us to send keep online and internal evaluation test and all how are we going to face it I said leave it to me as a CS person don't do it at yours pretty simple thing what we planned was whenever we employed this thing for a small scale or last scale when it is a model that doesn't make any difference to the machine so for 300 students if I can work with for 30000 students doesn't make any difference as long as my machine and my server is supporting and we have good infrastructure now MCQ type questions automatically the logs and all were posted we followed the same practice which was proposed in MOOC some of the times the bunch of questions randomly teacher human teacher or the this one teacher assistant would evaluate and send the responses share their opinions so that keeps the community awakened stating that yes they are evaluating not that always 30000 students questions were evaluated human by human then using the log at which time who posted the questions we got to know who are sincere and all for our opinions whoever were responding they were obviously very more sincere than the others and therefore almost our job of creating the records for internal as a part of internal evaluation was taken care now then all that excitement was happening around and one day I came across a student who came and told me yes I am a part of this excitement but can we reduce our my dependency the person was visually challenged and then we started evaluating what is available in the Moodle so the things what we got were there screen reader text-to-speech converters simple interface direct to links and everything those are available but then the things like shortcut keys voice authentication and word prediction plugins which would be telling what is happening on the board that was not there seriously 5% of the VC visually challenged people keep mathematics at their and their SSC level because they don't find readers for them therefore we went in that direction then one of my colleagues Prashan he worked on this problem and came up with an idea we first studied what is the problem why the normal screen readers are not the solutions for a mathematics text reader to us a mathematics text reader is something which has non-linearity involved into that let me change the sequence mathematics reader see there can be an example like x raise to 2 is something written over there a linear reader cannot read that kind of stuff so Prashan has come up with a solution where we developed a syntax for linear reading of a non-linear text and then converted into it so this could be another plugin for a Moodle good morning all our basic aim was to convert a non-linear mathematical structure into linear mathematical structure and for that we have developed the mathematics that is a mathematical text reader this is a schematic block diagram of mathematical text reader and we have the three blocks in it the first block is a mathematics input block the second one is a mathematics parser and the third one is a mathematics linear form generator in the first part we are supposed to take one image as an input it will check whether it is a multi-line or not if it is a multi-line it will crop the lines if it is a not multi-line it will pass to the next block that is a mathematical parser where we are supposed to check the compound entities now here just take an example of the summation Proud we have taken them as a compound entity because these entities have been embedded with the lower limit and upper limit means for example if we have the summation and the upper limit is written at the upwards and we are supposed to scan all these characters so we are just separating those characters and later on we are passing to our OCR where we are getting the proper text conversion of these entities later on what we are doing we are passing it to the mathematics linear form generator because suppose there is one equation like the summation n running from 0 to infinity n here n is a changing variable 0 is a lower limit and the infinity is the upper limit now while reading this I will read it as the summation n running from 0 to infinity but I want to know when to start when to stop so therefore instead of calling summation I am calling it as a start summation and running from 0 to infinity n summation so it is refining the scope of the summation later on I am passing all these to the android tts which we have developed and we are getting the proper voice output I am displaying some result over here the first one is the simplest equation that is a is equal to pi r square here pi r square we can call we can calculate the square of pi r also because whenever we are just making a statement a is equal to pi r square for the vc a is equal to pi r square he may get impression that we have to calculate the square of pi r but instead of we are supposed to calculate the square of only r so what we are going to do we are trying to insert the parenthesis around the 2 and r so the ocr expression will be a2-pi r raised to 2 so it will be called out as a is equal to pi r r raised to start to end expression the second expression is the square root of a square plus b square here again vc can get impression that the square root is only limited with the a square because whenever I am passing this to the any test-to-speech converter it will called out as a square root of a square plus b square is only limited to the a square so what we are trying to do we are trying to put a bracket between the a square plus b square and later on we are going to calculate the square root of that particular equation so the verbalization will be the start expression square root of start bracket small a raised to start bracket to end bracket plus small b raised to start bracket to end bracket end bracket and the end expression later on the third expression is that is the summation and the we are getting the output as a 2-0 opening bracket a product b2-1 opening bracket b then the closing bracket then there is a colon indicating that there is a end of the scope of the start summation and it will be voiced out as a start expression start summation small a running from 0 to 5 start bracket small a start bracket end summation and end expression thank you. See as we are looking forward to the next our research see as we are aware about there are different OSLMS are available in the market right? But Moodle has different features and unique features which are very much user friendly to visual challenge learners as well as those who are a proper visionary persons so we have suggested we have given some suggestions for the Moodle that there should be a different plugin should be available as which will be a very much customized and unique features for which will be a very user friendly to visual challenge learners and also the compliance should be available screen and cursor magnifiers which we can increase the text and we can screen magnification should be there transcriptions, captions affirmations before sending any assignments then notices while leaving the pages and the most common that is the the connectivity should be there and simplicity like the course networking also audio visual editing should be there and all these features along with the different training is also should be given to the administrators because there are many features are available many versions are coming in the market so maybe about the MOOCs we can give the proper training to these administrators in various institutions and our research will be focused more and more and we can go for the Moodle in the better way so the idea here was we wanted to compare what are the other probabilities as a part of my distance distance learning administrators we offer the people many options which of them they would like to take it it is compulsory for a teacher to go for some such system but need not be necessarily everybody will follow Moodle so they came up with different they came with diverse options and in my experience whenever the students were a small in number like say 200, 300 then the teachers did not prefer to go for Moodle because of the hazards involved in the setting up of that so we settled on the course networking the CN so it is again curiosity of mine can we not simplify our life with Moodle since I know as a CS person Moodle offers you many things the CN may not have those many features there are visa IQ and all also but then customizing to the small scale is also one more thing which would be a requirement now since yesterday though we all are working in CS and working on the Moodle developments and all since many years we also did not know many things what are happening in the word of Moodle so therefore my idea was why not to come up with a MOOC course in a MOOC environment that will tell us about the Moodle happenings and who should use Moodle in which way so another thing was Moodle can be used for the researchers by the researchers see there are certain things where you cannot go for the people and ask them to help they won't generally and therefore research in many areas is lacking see for example to my experts of visual challenging learners to facilitate them language was one of the barriers but availing the Indian language translation itself is a task so how do we go for that then then the thing is in that she came up with a Konkani language translator the linguistic resources are not available so how to generate linguistic resources by providing the crowd sourcing so this is Annie to whom whose story I shared with you in the beginning good morning everyone I come from a land where football is our passion and tourism is our business but a little bit of education happens over there and this is just a bit of research work in Konkani as a language because this language has no script of its own so I was thinking when I came for this Moodle workshop that if I can find some resources of plugging in such kind of things which can incorporate and help people to work with and I have just developed two of things one is a UTF to WX converter and one is a post tag so this type of things we are looking at because the resources in the language like Konkani is very low it's very low and people who know it are even in parts of Kenya you find people who are working with Konkani so we just want to get something so Moodle can be a platform for such plugins thank you so the last part was how to administer the students Moodle site for distance education here is Indraani who work there as an administrator with us and a case study of Idol she will present now I wanted to highlight the points that distance learners face like we are talking generally I teach in a college where it's a blended learning not a distance learning but distance learners have different kinds of issues just discussing the challenges of the distance learners first is we need to know the we don't know the students personally they are in the distance so we need to know their background so for that user profile is system defined so we need to use this custom user profile to add their profiles so that everybody know the teachers during orientation they can know about the backgrounds then we have this study materials problem of study material dispatch where the study materials need to be collected from the contact centers and courier to the remote areas is a problem so we need to monitor them for the moodle wheels very much we can use it for uploading the course materials where they can use it then we can create blogs for the topics we have a problem with the study materials management also like we need to know which teachers are submitting the study materials on time we need to monitor them so that facility I have not have a problem with the study materials we can send notifications as well as this calendar block is there with reminders where we can add the events and set the reminders but this reminder plugin is general like it is not specific to particular courses so that is one problem which we face so task cannot be allotted to teachers it can be allotted but reminders setting is a problem for the students they come only for the examination so we need to orient them so for that the quiz and all the activities we are using here we have this quizzes, we have assignments interactive drag and drop questions all these which we are using okay there is a there is a process of like summative summative grading also but we can improve this we should have the possibility of assigning marks for particular questions here we can do annotations and we can apply the grades so students can if they give a paper that can be uploaded and we can grade it for assessment that privilege is there but nowadays in Mumbai University online assessment for particular question we have the privilege to add marks that I didn't see okay next is okay so we students as co-creators so we can actually if you take the video of the students let them create their own videos they will be very much engaged in the lecture so we have in my college we have used a bridge course we have done a bridge course for digital electronics in which we have taken the students videos and uploaded them we have actually embedded them in Moodle next is for projects for computer science specially we have project documents and we have the deadlines they have to upload the documents proposal then they have to upload the diagrams so we need deadlines for that so we can create folders and they can upload the documents and we can do see the logs next problem is diverse enrollment profile that is we need adaptive learning for that we can use groups for computer science another problem we have is the practicals practicals we cannot conduct online but we have online compilers like we should be able to integrate online compilers with Moodle but that can be done only here with third party we can use a trinket where we can create the code and you can see we can the students can change the code and they can get the output they can see the teachers questions next is for visually challenged ones we are using this accessibility plugin in which there is an 80 bar and we have text to speech we have dictionary we have word prediction tools all these are there everyone is talking anyway I think we need to finish definitely so we have this text to speech in which you can highlight the text and the teacher students can read there is a reader then there is a line spacer there is an intelligent typing facility available for learning disability Dixlexia students we have this special special fonts for Dixlexia in which they have that they think the font moves so here also the font moves and the line it moves I might interrupt I think if anyone wants to see these things maybe you can talk at lunch you can present at lunch I would love to give you an hour but we have other people this is the last slide see thanks for a precious listening there were a lot of enthusiasm there was a lot of enthusiasm and so many things we tried communication was something I am supposed to take 30 minutes so we arranged so many things maybe because of the overwhelming response there was a time cut down but thank you very much for giving us this opportunity and look forward to continue with this thank you very much

this so it reads the length which is zero four and then xid which is four four but then it reads offset four which is four for a connect reply which to me implies that the xid is not there so i guess we if we know that this is the first response yeah the part that's changing is probably the session key i agree but this just means that the the xid we shouldn't be reading for the connect reply which is a little bit disturbing because it it means that you basically have to know it means we need to know whether we're decoding the first response or a subsequent response so basically this is going to be if self dot first then so we're going to let xid is then it's zero then we know it's the connect response otherwise it's we're going to read the xid and then self dot first response yeah i mean that's uh it's not really connected as much as it's first but yeah all right that seems all good so that's better um and then for okay and then we're at create so create reads the let's see response to create should just be the path oh and the opcode no oh right all right i've completely forgotten about these other fields that's right so um it also zookeeper also keep track of a bunch of these timestamps that you need to pass around to ensure that you um keep progressing and we're not currently parsing those out so we do need to parse those out where does this parse those actually that's a good question uh yeah so that's something that's just extracted over here somewhere by the thread that's spun up by um yeah so these additional IDs are not generally something the user needs to know about um here yeah it's a reply header this thing um and the reply header they parse here right and that reply header holds zxid what else where does reply header come from proto probably xid zxid an error yeah technically this should probably be a connection state as opposed to just first um but so let's see uh zxid is this actually is an i64 an error so reply header is an i32 and i64 and an i32 what does it do with the error yeah this is also right so you can get a response to a close that makes sense this is where they handle connection responses we don't currently implement timers and timeouts either which is something we'll have to do this whole thing but crucially we do need to read out these fields and this would be xid we're going to need things like the z the zxid and the error we're going to need later but for now uh we just need to make sure that we parse them out otherwise they'll be a part of the response empty empty is uh very few bytes why is it empty i mean this sort of suggests that this no this can't be right length is 16 which is 8 plus 4 plus 4 so where's the content of the where's the create response hmm it's a very good question let's uh fire up why shark shall we and on loopback and i want port 2181 and let's run this again 2181 all right no don't right so now i want to follow the gcp stream so we send so this is us sending the uh connection request this is the connection response this is us trying to create slash foo and this is the response we get back so this packet so this first four is the length and that length is 16 you see the the 10 is 16 and that that's correct because the length is 20 and then we get four bytes of zxid which is one which is correct because that's the xid we assigned to the first request and then we get 12345678 so 53 is the zxid and then this is the error code ff oh so maybe there was an error that occurred then how do we know what the error codes are hopefully that's also listed somewhere hmm it's not gonna be easy to find is it actually let's look at the rest one instead and see if there's a any error parsing going on here source error so keep it derived it seems like something else const aha that's what we want to see so this i want this whole thing so we're gonna have uh error dot error dot rs it's gonna have this whole file and we're going to do here prepper i32 and also derive debug and this is going to be a this as zk error so proto mod we're also gonna have a mod error actually i guess we'll do this and then if error not equal to zero then you print the length this error so now it's the question how do i create ones i think i can just do this i have to do from last you know do any of you remember off the top of your head don't really want to match you can use transmute that's not really uh a num macros i don't really want to depend on that but does this also give me i guess num derive derive numeric traits i mean i guess that's what i want a little sad i have to add a crate for it but um derive is 0.2 and then i want zk source lib stern crate and derive and now we want this to also derive from oh i need macro use as well i guess derive macro from primitive source that seems really unfortunate oh i do that stupidly can't find crate for num traits it seems weird um i don't really want to do this this way um so in that case let's just do this pubfn from actually input from i32 for this from the self which code like so and then we want to substitute no i only want from here oh did i do a stupid i did didn't i regular expressions what did i miss why is this not legal uh the substitute preview i think is new in um in neo then i don't remember exactly what the place it's a good question it's somewhere in here i think it's relatively new but it's really nice uh i don't remember you'd have to look it's somewhere in my vmrc um which is on github if you look at uh at my repositories is one called configs and that has all of this um so yeah if you take a look there you should find it all right what error did we get it's saying marshaling error oh so the request we sent to zookeeper was wrong interesting well then it's not terribly surprising that it didn't want to do that i guess actually the what this gives you back is it resolves either with an error or a zk error uh and then here probably tidy up that a little bit later but um the result of this and zk error this will hold a sender of result this this looks like a place for a pibellius but because now here where we send the response um we sort of want let me error is none error code then error is sum this and then uh if let sum e is error then uh tx.send error e not is it okay us we do this happen regardless 239 this is gonna send an okay so basically this is just wrapping the one shot so that we can send errors back as well um we might want to just unify these and not have two separators but for now let's do it this way um we're gonna match on r and if it's an okay this and we do this if it's an error e then we panic with e and if it's anything else then it's unreachable uh i think plain vim has this feature now as well actually um but you'd have to check great so now it actually errors the way we're expecting it to marshaling error so why is it that the string we send is wrong i'm like fairly sure that it's uh for some reason it doesn't like this i mean i'm like almost certain it's the acl um or maybe it's the flags what do flags have to be so for a zookeeper here if you do create you have to select the mode ah yes we probably do have to give some kind of mode here and that's what we're missing um so specifically create request when it makes this create request what does it make it with mode as i32 yeah and modes are probably not allowed to be zero no persistent to zero so i should be allowed to do that um ah if the acl is invalid or empty invalid acl is returned so we have to send an acl i don't want to that makes me really sad i wanted something that was straightforward to implement uh ah let's do exist instead yeah let's do resistance then um so i don't think create will actually be that hard but except we'll have to also port the the acl stuff um which i don't want to do at the moment because we're already running like very late so an exist request has a path and a watch and i'm guessing watch is like a u8 or something it's like a bool okay so that's fine uh what exactly is a how do i find one proto give me proto so an exists request is a string and bool request okay so it really just is a u8 and the response is a stat response the stat response is a stat and what is a stat oh no data stat oh no it has so many things all right fine get a stat so i guess we'll do something like source data or source uh i sort of want to call it types but it's not really types let's do types rs for now and then we'll deal with that later um so stat is in types uh this is going to have a mod types is going to probably use stat what is our what does exist return here an option stat okay great um so we change this to be exists it takes a path it returns an option stat it's going to not make a create but it exists for the path and a watch which is going to be zero and exists stat it's going to get back a stat all right so what was the response to this exist response is a stat response which seems to always be some so when would this ever return oh zk error no node i see so error zk error no node is none so that's how it does it oh right we have it actually this is up so this is going to be exists it takes a path and a uh watch which is just going to do buffer write u8 watch exists our test of course is going to call exists so and i guess response this is now going to have exists just going to be a stat we're going to use stat there uh we're going to get a stat back and we're going to need a way to deserialize a stat i guess what's the read from so where is read from implemented for stat there we go as we probably want to borrow more of these traits so this is one of as i mentioned before like if someone else has written the protocol before especially in the same language it just saves you so much work like these are these aren't necessarily all that hard to write like if you look at them it's not like there's something that we would have a really hard time writing once we have this truck it's just really convenient not to have to um because now in here exists gives us an exists where stat is stat read from forms 32 a messed up my syntax here somewhere what else do we have zk error uh use types use uh proto there's a pretty clearly a bunch of cleanup we could do for the organization of this library um i'm just i want to get to the point where the um where all the base functionality works oh that's already there so i just want proto so now 59 this doesn't work because expect a result found option get a result 57 all right let's see does foo exist still a marshaling error that's so weird is there a zookeeper log fail to process establish session fail to process get data unreasonable length oh i know we're doing wrong when we're sending the request where is this um let's see so give me let's see the port is 2181 what is it we're sending out when we send out our request this one we send a length wait the first four bytes should be the length why does it think that the length is uh very long that's very long whereas clearly the length is that correctly for the connect so i think this is the length for the string so in the request we send out we first give four bytes of length then four bytes of xid then four bytes of opcode then a length and then the string 2f that seems far too long oh wait four one two three one two three four and then one two three four and then one two three four yeah something's not right here because we're supposed to send uh the length no i shouldn't need to send zxid the request header is just length followed by xid followed by opcode and all of those are four bytes yeah the request header is just xid and opcode and opcode uh is uh is just an i32 and the length is an i32 am i miscounting here because like if if this is indeed where the where the data starts then four bytes for the length one two three four bytes for xid one two three four bytes for the um opcode what is opcode for exists opcode for exists is three there's no three here so this makes it seem like we don't actually send the opcode or like we send the first three bytes of the opcode and then it gets overwritten or something oh i wonder whether that's what it is yeah it's it's totally right here we're not actually sending the uh the opcode this needs to send opcode uh exists great so now we get back exact exists some whatever and that's actually because i did it earlier if i do zk cry give me a command line interface help uh delete slash foo and now if i run it i get exists none right this is none and if i create food banana and then i run it now i get some with a data length of six which is how long banana is yay okay so we now have uh we now have connect and we have just any arbitrary one of the calls specifically we have exists i think that's pretty good so this is basically how far i wanted to get today um to get to the point where we have a fully running asynchronous uh client it's obviously nowhere near feature complete but as you've been following along hopefully you've seen that we've sort of built all the internal infrastructure we wanted for the asynchronous stuff and you even saw just how simple it was to change from create to exists it's very straightforward and of course the hope would be that adding the other methods should be as well there is still some more complication in terms of adding things like a watchers so um if you look in the original api there's also this notion of you can give it a watcher and no that's not it there's like a way where you can yeah listener i think is the one so you can basically set it to watch or listen for changes in a given path and you'll be notified whenever that path changes and of course the way we could implement this is you could uh call watch on some path and it would give you back a stream over stats of that path for example right so that would be a way in which the user we could actually give a nicer api than what you can currently get from the current crate because we can integrate all of these very nicely um i think we're gonna probably call it right around there is it pub sub um yeah so i think with the watcher api you can basically use zookeeper as pub sub except that it's not quite pub sub it's whether a given path has changed so the contents of a path or its flags um you don't it's not like you get an infinite queue that you can just keep pushing things to it's you can watch a given path or i think you can watch anything under a given path but i'm not sure uh we'd have to dig into that more um although hopefully so one of the the so one of the reasons why i want to stop here is we've been running pretty long and we've sort of um uh gotten to cover most of what i wanted to cover today the other reason i want to stop there is because the stuff that we've covered so far has basically been independent of zookeeper it's mostly been about like how do you implement a protocol um how do you implement it async how do you use tokyo on top of that uh and sort of how do you package this and test this at least in a somewhat trivial way um but the core that we have for tokyo zookeeper now is actually pretty solid like the the the way it's implemented internally its internal state machine um is now extensible to the point where we could add another um another method or two and they were pretty straightforward to add to the existing setup um and so that means that the the next stream in the series will probably be adding a bunch of the different methods and see how they tie into the infrastructure we've now built um and also add things like listeners and watchers and other things that are more zookeeper oriented uh as opposed to just sort of like almost general uh protocol level infrastructure in fact one thing that would be really cool is if there was a way to take especially the packetizer that we have and write it up in a more generic way so that you could have any protocol use this as its internal state machine um but I think that's a that's a task for a much later in different time uh all right I I think that's where we're going to call it for today um if you have questions about as well I'll push all the changes and uh and maybe tidy up some of the debug out but but I'll push all of that and if you have questions about the stream for today if you have questions about uh zookeeper or the implementation we're doing or upcoming streams then just like ping me on twitter or on patreon um and I'll take a look and try to get back to my plan going forward is that the next stream will be on this as well it looks like it it might be feasible for us to get pretty far with this library over the course of a uh one more stream um but I think it will be at most two more streams of this um I also want to do some more things on uh standard library implementations like try to implement our own new text maybe um but there are a lot of cool projects we could tackle so if you have ideas for that as well then let me know uh I hope you've found it interesting and and uh educational and like feel like you were debugging with me as opposed to just watching me tear my hair out but yeah I think that's all for today uh thanks for coming out to watch and uh I'll see you next time I hope all right bye


Well friends, it's been quite the week. Many of us are still wasted deep in canceled programs, rescheduling programs, crafting addendums for programs, and communicating to our stakeholders about all the canceled events through this COVID crisis. Once this flood of activity passes though, a lot of us are gonna find ourselves working from home with more time on our hands because of a reduced workload, a reduced schedule, reduced commute time, or even commuting in general. So I've crafted a list of activities that we can do as meeting and events professionals to get us through this time of self-isolation. Won't you join me on this journey? Hence, it's Leanne, and along with all of you, I am absolutely heartbroken over the events of the past week, and there's no end in sight who knows how long this is going to last. It's been financially devastating, but also gut-wrenching to watch all of our clients hard work over the past months go down the drain. It's so hard to see the good that can come out of this crisis, but friends, there is a lot of good coming from COVID-19. Our industry is coming together like never before. I've had the great pleasure of working with some incredibly compassionate understanding and patient hotel partners over the past week. In fact, I filmed a little bit of a thank you to our hotel partners as well as to our clients. Just a brief little hello, but you can check out that video here. And friends, it's times like this where it reminds me why I'm in this industry. For a lot of us, this is also a time of change as our employers are asking us to work from home or work a reduced work schedule. So now we have this unexpected gift of time on our hands when we're no longer commuting, we're no longer working a full schedule and what are we going to do with ourselves? And that's why I wanted to do today's post because it would be very easy for us to become depressed about the state of our industry, but this might actually be the time where we really elevate the industry and we do so by improving ourselves. And so here's my list of things that you can do to stay productive over the next week or weeks so that when we do return to full-time employment, we come with fresh new ideas, a fresh energy and maybe some more professional development behind us. Before we begin, don't forget to subscribe to this YouTube channel. Today's video about productivity tips is only one of many that I put out to the meanings industry. My goal really is to pass along resources that help make your day, your career and your life just a little bit better. So let's take a look at how we can make the most of our time during COVID-19. Idea number one, now is the time to dream. If you've been given some days off or even a few hours off, this could be the chance for you to create that next big idea or project. Now, when I'm working on projects like this, I lean on a vision board with a bunch of post-it notes but I also use what's called a mind map template. And you can find a link to the template in the description for this video. And I'm hopeful that that mind map template will help you map out your next dream. Tip number two, read. And there are so many great titles out there. From tools of Titans to this is marketing, the art of membership, the art of gathering, uncommon sense and of course, Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook, one of my favorite marketing books. Whether it's marketing that's your thing or not, find a book that speaks to you and finally tackle it. Tip number three, update your LinkedIn profile. I love LinkedIn, it's a great social media platform for the meetings industry. And if you need some tips on how to update your profile, you can find it here. But now is the time to polish it up and make it look a little bit more professional. Tip number four, listen to podcasts. I've been addicted to podcasts lately. I listen to them when I ski, when I run, when I'm doing chores in the house, it's just been a great use of my time. And I've outlined a few podcasts that I listen to and hopefully you'll find some value in them as well. Tip number five, rest. Because in a few weeks, we might not get that opportunity to rest again. It'll be back to work and back to the grind. So if you have opportunity to get some rest, now's the time to do it. Tip number six, exercise and drink lots of water. You should be doing this already, but now with this virus around, it is important that you stay healthy and both exercise and water will help you get and stay healthy. So make sure you're doing both of those things on a daily basis. Tip number seven, create. When we tap into our brain's creative centers, we end up happier, more inspired, and more relaxed. And that is what we need in this time more than anything else. So if you have some time to get back to a hobby of yours, please do it. This is, couldn't find a better time to do that. And for my friends out there who have never worked from home before, this is an incredible time of change. And I've done a ton of posts a year about working from home. The playlist to those videos is found right here. I encourage you to check out all of the work from home videos and blog posts that I've done and hopefully set you up for success now that you transition into a work from home environment. I'm going to leave you with my top three work from home tips right now. Tip number one, carve out a space in your home where you can get some work done. If you're just starting out, this is going to be difficult but I highly encourage you to do it. Find a space that you can call your own and get down to business. Tip number two, take regular breaks. Being cooped up at home can cramp your creativity so ensure that you build in some breaks and maybe some fresh air so that it can spark your creativity and encourage you to get back to work. And finally, tip three, use technology to connect with your team. Now is not the time to distance yourself from people when you have the technology to become closer to your team, to your family, your friends and your peers. Stay connected to one another even when you're in self-isolation. I also want to mention three things that I think could be detrimental to your health during this time of self-isolation at COVID-19. Number one, do not binge on Netflix. TV has shown to lead to depression. It does not spark your creativity centers and it does not invoke rest. So please, if you can find something else to do during this time, watch TV in moderation. Tip number two, do not consume too many processed foods. I know there's lots of tins of soups and cans of beans flying off the shelves, but try to consume as many fresh vegetables and fruits as possible during this time. Tip number three, try not to feel too stressed or anxious at this time. It's a huge ask, but feeling those things is only gonna lead you to feeling more depressed and less creative. Try to divert by getting back to those creative activities that I mentioned earlier. And friends, if you are doing some creative activities or perhaps you're going to do a mind map or a vision board about an idea or project, will you let me know what that project is? I might just share my next project with you as well. Everyone, this time is not to be taken lightly.  So please heed the warnings and stay in self-isolation, stay at home with your loved ones and continue to contribute to our vibrant industry in the ways that I've described in this video. Together, we are all event crops strong. Take care, everyone, bye for now.
