Expense accounts submitted by a special investigator, Johnny Dollar, to Home Office, Eastern Indemnity and Fire Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the punctilious fire bug matter. Expense account item one, $113.20. Airfare between Hartford and Dallas, Texas. Your Southwestern States Manager, Jeff Connors, met the 10 o'clock flight at Love Airport and drove me down to your offices on South Acard Street. There they are, Johnny. Number one, candy store out northwest. Number two, two family residents on the east side. Three small factory out on Commerce Avenue. Four garage and repair shop out southwest. Rantotal acclaims is $95,000, and it's all yours. These all follow the same time pattern. Everyone. Comes Tuesday night around 11 o'clock and that fire bug just naturally lights up. All new policies, Jeff, written within the past six weeks to two months. That's right. I think Harley gets cold on the premium checks when it gets all hoted up again on the claims. Any connection between the policy holders? Can't find one, if there is. All in different businesses, different parts of the city. The whole thing just don't make sense. It does if the bug is in your own organization. Yeah, that's what Len Borchardt says. Who's Borchardt? Detective Lieutenant Arson Division. He's been working on it. How's he making out? Well, I got 10 men out in the field, two gals in the office here. Lots of alibis to check out. Takes time. So far, there's no reason to suspect anybody. Those fires are reason enough. But, man, why did anybody want to do anything like that? Well, when it comes to firebugs, who knows, could have a grudge against you or the company? Or maybe just like to see them flame shoot up, huh? That's as good a reason as any. Well, whatever it is, we sure got to get this, boy, Johnny. This kind of thing keeps up. I'll be losing my job, my home, my wife, and everything else I can. Oh. What's the time, Johnny? It's, uh, four minutes after 11. Wouldn't want to lay a little bet why this phone's ringing at this time of night, would you? East in the dam to the Connors. Mm-hmm, I figured. Where'd I get that address? That's, uh, wait a minute. That's 725 East Westchester. Yeah, I got it. Yeah, thanks, Lieutenant. We've seen you. Number five? Yep. Big apartment building out on Westchester. You're sure it's one of yours? Wrote the policy on it myself four days ago.   You can say, oh, Fort Edge's landmortured over there. Didn't know I'd be down here so quick. Let's see what he's got to say. Yeah, sure. Hi, Lieutenant. You got down here right fast. Seems reasonable, too, Mr. Connors. Not that there's much I can do before she cools down. That won't be before morning. I'd like you to meet Johnny Dollar, Lieutenant. One of our investigators from the East. Johnny, this is Lieutenant Landmorty. Glad to know you, Lieutenant.  No question about it being torched. Well, like I said, I won't be able to get in there until morning, but when you figure the pattern where that fire rode up and took hold, no doubt in my mind. Who reported it? A fellow by the name of Hendrickson at the second floor apartment West called in from a hallway telephone. What kind of a story did he give you? He didn't. Got crapped up there on the second floor, suffering third degree burns and shock. Not in any shape to talk to anyone. Don't know that I care to be around when he is fit to talk, though. Oh, why is that?  Jeff Connors went back to the office to wire his preliminary report to Hartford while I stayed around to see if anything would turn up. By 1.30 a.m., the only thing we'd learned was that our only possible witness, Hendrickson, had died en route to the hospital. A preliminary check of the wreckage seemed to indicate that the fire had started in the basement, but it was still too hot to check into thoroughly, so Lieutenant Borcher drove me back downtown. I'll dig into it in the morning, Dollar. If I can tell you right now, we're all fine. Oh, what's that, Lieutenant? There'll be four or five hot spots indicating the use of kerosene, gasoline, something like that, amount of paraffin drippings. Sounds like a candle's use for a slow fuse. That's what we figured. Sound the same drippings and all the other fires. Any idea how slow a fuse it is? Looks like an hour and a half to two hours. He was a bug plenty of time to get away, fix himself up in alibis somewhere. Connors says you think it's someone in his organization. Full pattern points that way. Haven't been able to run him down, though. Takes a lot of legwork. Connors has been a big help. Go up, rating right down the line. You know him long, Dollar? Oh, four or five years off and on. He's a good man. Yeah, he doesn't seem to be letting his personal troubles interfere with his work any. What personal troubles are those? Oh, he's been pretty broke for the past six months or so. Wife's been sick, run up a lot of doctor and hospital bills. Had to buy a new home recently. Oh, why is that? Last one burned down. Lost his eight month old son in that fire. Been pretty rough going for him. Yeah. Well, when we get this fire bug pinned down, might help him some. Take some of the pressure off, relieve his mind, maybe. Here you are, Dollar. Oh, thanks, Lieutenant. Check with me in the morning, Dollar. Think over what I've been saying. Maybe something will come to mind. Yeah. Yeah, I'll think about it. I had Borchard drop me off at your office building. I figured I'd pick up my bag and talk things over with Jeff before checking into a hotel. I let myself in with a key Jeff had given me and headed for his inner office. Good morning. Johnny Dollar, mean anything to you? Johnny Dollar? Oh, you're that insurance investigator, Mr. Connors said was coming out from the east. That's right. Well, I'm plenty happy to hear that. You gave me a pretty bad start, Mr. Dollar. I'm sorry. I'm Sally Martin, Mr. Connors Secretary. And the rest of it? Well, you mean what I'm doing up here? Well, I'm as curious as the next guy. Well, I promised to have some material ready for Mr. Connors in the morning. I left the office tonight in such a hurry, I forgot it, and we'll just drop by to get it ready for him. Well, you're a pretty conscientious employee, Ms. Martin, getting out of bed at two in the morning to come down to the office for something like that. Oh, no. Wasn't that way at all? Well, what way was it?  Mm-hmm. Is this the material Mr. Connors wanted ready in the morning? Yes, it is. Comprehensive fire policy on the property at 725 East Westchester. I try. That's pretty coincidental, isn't it? Well...  A fire at the... Any idea why Mr. Connors wanted this particular policy out? I think that you have any more questions to ask, Mr. Dollar. Mr. Connors should be here to answer them personally. That sounds reasonable. And maybe we should ring in Lieutenant Borchard, too. Lieutenant Borchard. Hey, Sally, what's keeping you so long? Oh, hi. Didn't know anyone else was up here with you. Well, this is Johnny Dollar, one of our investigators, Bill. Mr. Dollar, this is Bill Prandler. Oh, glad to know you, Mr. Dollar. I was telling Mr. Dollar about the wonderful time we had tonight. Dinner, then the theater, and being at the Club Romulo until just a few minutes ago. Huh? Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right. We did have a swell time. But, uh, honey, it's getting late. So if you're ready, let's run along. Okay, Bill. Good night, Mr. Dollar. Glad to met you, Dollar. Hope to see you again sometime. Being a firm believer in the ability of my subconscious to resolve any naughty problems, I checked into the Baker Hotel for the night. The bed was very comfortable, but my subconscious didn't come up with a thing. Expensive count item two, $3.75. Texas-style breakfast, including steak and pan-fried potatoes. That supplied me with enough energy to walk over to City Hall and look in on Lieutenant Borchard. It was a little hit-and-run accident in the corner of Westchester and Gates about nine o'clock last night, Dollar. It's just half block away from where the fire was. It seems a 53 Ford stand parked down the street there suddenly took off without lights.  You think there's some tie-in between that and the fire? Well, one of the boys in traffic thought so after a witness gave him the license number of the Ford. He checked it through motor vehicle. Who's it registered to? Jeff Connors. Friends, no matter what kind of work you do, there are bound to be times when the job seems monotonous. You feel tense and restless, and you need something to give you a boost. Well, you'll be surprised how helpful a stick of wriggly spearmint chewing gum can be at times like that. You see, chewing on a smooth piece of wriggly spearmint gum is a natural way to ease tension and relieve that feeling of restlessness. The easy chewing gives you satisfaction. You get a nice little lift out of it. And wriggly spearmint gum tastes good too. Its flavor is lively, refreshing spearmint. A flavor millions enjoy. Try it and see for yourself. Get a few packages of wriggly spearmint chewing gum and chew a stick from time to time while you work. Chewing this delicious gum will make your job seem easier and pleasanter. It really will.  The Traffic Division's report of the hit-and-run accident on Westchester the night before added nothing to what Lieutenant Borchardt had already told me. Jeff Conner's Ford had been parked halfway down the block. At approximately 9.5 p.m., it roared away from the curb without lights, turned the corner onto gates, smashed into the side of another car some 10 feet from the intersection, and kept right on going.  Well, let's get Jeff's side of the story before we jump to conclusions, Lieutenant. I don't believe much in coincidence, Mr. Dollar. Time element checks out, too. The two hours between the accident and the fire? We know those candle fuses burn an hour and a half to two hours. Leaving here at 9. Gave him plenty of time to ditch the car and meet you at the airport with a pretty clean alibi. He wasn't driving to Ford when he picked you up, was he? No, it was a limit coupe. Well, that's his wife's car. What have you done about getting him in? He's not at home. He's not at his office. Nothing else I could do but send out a pickup on him. Uh-huh. Leave word for me at the Baker Hotel when you're getting with him. Sure thing, Mr. Dollar. I know how you're feeling about it. I'm sure sorry. Expense account item three, two dollars and 25 cents. Cab fare out to the modern subdivision where Jeff Connors had his new home. Mrs. Connors turned out to be a sweet, nice-looking young woman whose recent illness was still apparent. I'm sorry you had the long ride out here for nothing, Mr. Dollar. Jeff's not home. He left early to get his car fixed or something. Too bad you didn't call first. Oh, that's all right, Mrs. Connors. It's you I wanted to see. Okay. Well, I guess I knew that. It's about Jeff, isn't it? That's right. That's right. And you've noticed it, too. Terrible things worry and sorrow can do to a man. What happened all six months ago, Jeff was the happiest man I'd ever known. Well, I will just send apart. That's when your home burned, Mrs. Connors? When we lost our son. Something happened to Jeff then. Oh, it happened to me, too. I broke down. Had to be hospitalized with Jeff. Well, it was different. How do you mean? He bottled everything up inside of him, refused to let it come out, never even talked about it. My person can't do that, Mr. Dollar. You mentioned the recent fires, Mrs. Connors. Any particular reason why? Yes. That's what has me worried so. Ever since they started, he's become terribly depressed. I'm afraid he's going to break down under the strain. That's the only reason you mentioned them? Yes. I've tried to do everything in my power to help him. I thought, perhaps, if we moved away from Dallas, it might help. But he wouldn't do that. Then I tried to get him interested in sports. That brought the first encouraging sign I've had in six months. Oh, what was it, Mrs. Connors? Well, usually on Monday and Tuesday nights, Jeff brings work home with him. All the mail is accumulated over the weekend. New premiums and renewals and so on. Well, for the past five weeks, Mr. Dollar, believe it or not, Jeff has gone bowling every Tuesday night. He's become so enthused about it, why, he hasn't come home before midnight on any Tuesday evening since. Now, don't you think that's encouraging, Mr. Dollar? Expense account item four, $15.75. Cab fare in and around the city of Dallas. I spent the rest of the day checking the neighborhoods where the fires had occurred, checking the policy holders, neighbors, anyone who might give me a newer, different slant. I came up with nothing. Around five o'clock, I called in to Lieutenant Borchard. Anything there? Yeah, I see. Trendler was with Eastern Indemnity? Expense account item five, $1.60. Cab fare to Trendler's Bowling Emporium on East Gatto Street. Five alleys and a drink and sandwich bar. Trendler was keeping score for a couple of high school hobby soxers over on alley number three. Those two are the best of us. Take off one of them anyway. Can I talk to you for a minute, Mr. Trendler? What? It's you, the insurance man, Johnny Dollar, isn't it? That's right. What's on your mind, Dollar? I'd like to talk to you for a minute. About the fires? Yeah. Take over for the girls' gym, I'll be right back. Let's go in the office, Dollar. Let's have it, Dollar. You used to work for Jeff Connors at Eastern? Yeah, sure. Up until two months ago. Why did you quit? I just wasn't cut out to be a good insurance salesman. So you opened this bowling alley? Anything wrong with that? Well, they tell me it takes money to open these things. I had a few bucks saved. From not being a good insurance salesman? Why are they interested in my finances, Dollar? Well, I'm just curious. So be curious about something else, huh? Okay. Did Jeff Connors ever come bowling here? Yeah, a couple of times. Jeff's wife says he's been bowling every Tuesday night. I wouldn't know. The last time I saw him was four weeks ago last night. Any idea where he might have been those other Tuesday nights? Why not ask Sally Martin? What she got to do with it? She's the secretary. She was with him the times he came here. Maybe they figured out something better to do with their Tuesday nights.  Yep, every minute from 6 o'clock till 2.15. Dinner, theater, club, Romulo. Well, you can always walk out of the theater before the final curtain. And a $10 bill can make a nightclub waiter pretty confused about time. It'd be kind of hard to prove anything like that, wouldn't it, Dollar? Well, there's no law against trying. Expense account item 6, $1.80. Cab fare back to your offices. They were closed for the night. At the Baker Hotel, I put a call into Sally Martin's apartment and got no answer. When I was trying to figure out the next move, Lieutenant Borchard called and made up my mind for me. Where we going, Lieutenant? What's out there? Another fire? Took about an hour for a mobile crane to get there. And another 35 minutes before the grappling hook's got a solid hold and swung the car up on the dry land. Borchard and I were beside the car almost before the crane put it down. Big help. Disappointed, Lieutenant? Would have helped if he'd been in the car. Cost money to drag a river like this. I don't think you'll find him down there. We got a look. On his way back to City Hall, Borchard dropped me off at the hotel. On a hunch, I went across the street and had a little talk with the night elevator man in your office building. Well, now let's see. Somebody went up to Eastern indemnity since closing time? Yep, here it is. Checked in at 8.17, out again at 8.23. Sally Martin was. Anyone with her? Come to think of it, there was. Fell a weight in outside in the car. Say no, I'm just wondering. Could it be it was Mr. Connors himself? Expensive con item seven. $6.90 for a fast cab ride out to Sally Martin's apartment. The extra five was for the speed. Yes, what? Mr. Donner. Where is he, Sally? Where's who? Jeff Connors. Is he still here? Then you know. But he was hiding here today? Let's say I guessed. All right, where is he? I don't know. Now look, there have been five fires and three people are dead. You're hurting my arm, Mr. Donner. I want to know what you were doing up at the office and where Jeff went when he left here. We went up there to get a list of the new policies that came in today. Why? What did Jeff want with him? I don't know. Well, there was some reason. What was it? I tell you, I don't know. I got back here tonight and told him Mrs. Connors had called about the new policies. He made me drive right down. His wife called the office? Mrs. Connors always did that. Double-checked the policies with me because of the fires he kept at home. What was different about her call this time? Well, nothing, except the day, maybe. She always called on Tuesdays. There wasn't any real reason for her to call today. Only one new policy had come in. A fire policy? Yes, on an apartment building out on the west side. Where is it? Look, Mr. Dollar, I know what you're thinking, but Jeff didn't have anything to do with those fires. Believe me. Where's the policy, Sally? Over there, on the table. Expense account item eight, seven dollars and fifty cents. Cab fare with speed to the newly insured apartment building on the west side. I called Lieutenant Borchard from Sally's and he was there waiting for me. Has spotted him yet, Lieutenant? Talk to Miss Martin's car back in the alleyway. When are you going to take him? We're just waiting for you. Okay, let's go. There it is, Donna. Yeah. Keep your hands on the wheel, Connors. Don't worry, Lieutenant. I won't try anything. You expecting us, Jeff? No. Matter of fact, I was hoping you wouldn't show, Johnny. I wanted to handle this myself. You've been handling it that way too long, Connors. Yeah, I guess I have. I wasn't really sure until I saw the car last night. She read about the hit run in the morning papers. Is that why you dumped it in the river? It didn't make much sense, I guess. Trying to cover up that way, just getting kind of desperate. Where is she, Jeff? Well, your wife. Where is she? In the basement? Yes. She must be through by now. I was waiting for her to come out. Trying to delay it a little last minute, I guess. I'll have to get her, Connors.  Don't worry. I'll treat her gently. Sally Martin's not mixed up in this, Johnny Boy. She was just trying to help her boss out of a jam. Didn't even know what it was. Don't worry about it, Jeff. Doesn't make much sense, does it, Johnny? My own wife. Firebug. I suppose maybe it was our home burnin'. Boy, I don't know. This doesn't make much sense. She was a lovely girl, Johnny. I wish you'd have known her then. She was such a lovely girl. Expense account item 9, $37.40. Hotel bill and miscellaneous. Expense account item 10, $119.10. Airfare back to Hartford. Expense account total, $309.25.  But this is the first time I ever saw one actually burn the heart out of a man. I don't ever want to see it again. Here's to it, Johnny Deller.

Hey everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman joined today by Tom Vecchio, Fan Duel. We're here to break down tonight's NBA Slate. What's happening, Tom? We got a good one, nine games, plenty of options, plenty of value on tonight's Slate. Last time out, Joel Embiid was your NBA fantasy player over the night. Tonight, he's your favorite superstar on this monstrous slate. Why are you back in the NBA once again? Yeah, I think for Embiid tonight, it's like a classic, like don't get cute spot, right? We know Ben Simmons is out. We know that the extra usage is going to Embiid. Right now, we see him sitting with a 36% usage rate. That's a 4% increase compared to his usual. And we have a good matchup tonight. If you want to play into the narrative of him versus Andre Drummond, I actually went back and looked at their head to head stats. Embiid is averaging 27 points and 10 rebounds to assist in these games. So that brings us basically close to a 40-point floor with the extra usage. We're going to see him push towards 50 fantasy points. And we saw it the other night, 48 fangle points is what he ended with, 49 real points. We want him in this spot, a solid 220 over under, everything going in his direction tonight. You're right. Don't get cute. Just do the obvious play. Get Embiid back in the lineup without Ben Simmons there for the next several weeks. This is Joellen Beats' team again, and he's going to be the dominant offensive force. Let's see what Embiid can do in this matchup. Another no-brainer play here, Tom. It's Bradley Beal, who's gone for 50 with regularities, seemingly. Did he do it again tonight? I certainly hope so, and we need to start a free Bradley Beal movement, get him out of Washington, get him onto a real team. And if you look back at the three games this side of y'all start break, he's taken 28, 27, and 33 field goal attempts, like you said, going for 50 in two games in a row. Now, a season average is 22 field goal attempts per game. I obviously know John Wald this year, and that's a normal spot that we want to be targeting him. He takes a ton of shots. He has a high ceiling, but they're leaning on him even more. Going up against the Knitz night, we have a solid matchup, 235.0 render. Both teams in the top 10 when it comes to pace. I'm going to be riding Beal until he doesn't seemingly put up 40 or 50 real points, pushing towards 60 or so fan duel points every single night. Yeah, he has been a rock solid player all year long over on fan duel, and tonight's going to be no different. I also hope so, because he's in my lineup here. Bradley Beal, get him in your lineup as well. McWyne Leonard and the Clippers, it's been a bumpy February for them, and I think they're looking to end the month much better than they started Leonard. A solid play tonight. Why is he your third superstar to get in there? Like you said, bumpy month for them, and the question I have is like, is Paul George really healthy? We've seen his production dip. He got hurt before the all-star break in that game against the Celtics, missed their first game back, played only 21 minutes in their most recent game, and I said, oh, was that due to fouls? I went back and looked, he had no fouls in that game, and Paul George just seemingly doesn't have it. And whether it's Paul George in out of the lineup, Pat Beverly in and out, they're adding Marcus Morris, whoever it may be, like Kauai is still that constant. And when Paul George is off the court, if he's struggling and not going to be playing a whole lot, we see Kauai up at a 36% usage rate, posting 1.62 fan duel points per minute. We have the Clippers against the Suns tonight. Both teams are sitting at eight and nine when it comes to pace. So really, we just want to lean on Kauai, take that usage rate, take that consistency on a nightly basis. Absolutely, the consistency that Kauai Leonard is providing at the power forward spot, which has been tough to fill this season, makes him a new brainer, play on this big slate, get Kauai in there if you have the funds to do so. But if you don't have the funds to get Kauai Leonard in your lineup, there are a bunch of value plays that you can start with, and that begins with Josh Jackson. As the Memphis Grizzlies, they've lost triple J, Jared Jackson Jr. They've now lost Brandon Clark, their first round pick, which means Josh Jackson's the next guy up. And he's been really hot when given an opportunity to play. Exactly, hit with a few injuries. And, you know, I'm on board with the Grizzlies this season. I'm on board with them moving forward. They have a super fun lineup. Sitting in the eighth seed right now, it's certainly looking like a bit of a stretch for them. Losing two key players. We want to be looking at Josh Jackson. He's the minimum salary tonight. He's listed as a small forward, but should be lining up as the power forward against the Rockets. Both teams in the top five when it comes to pace, a 237 point over under. We really should be looking at Josh Jackson as one of the chalkiest plays on tonight's slate. We look at the Rockets this season. They're on 47.1, the fangled points per game to power forwards. That's the fourth most in the league. So Jackson, you know, checking every box night, cheap player, high over under game, seeing more minutes, being productive. We want that value with him tonight. Absolutely, seeing Josh Jackson be able to be productive in this system, playing with Jon Morant, it's awesome because they failed top lottery pick and now he's getting an opportunity to play. And it's priced still down on Fandall, making Josh Jackson an excellent play here tonight in this slate. Up next, we move on to a bigger guy and that's Iacob Pertle for the San Antonio Spurs. Pertle's a guy that we have used and then stopped using and now we're using again. How come? Yeah, he's had his moments and those moments are basically tied to when the Marcus Aldridge is out like he is tonight. So we want to be going to him at $4,000. You know, overall, it's a middle of the road matchup against Dallas. They're allowing 51.1 Fandall points per game to center. The league average at 51.9. So they're just slightly better than that average. And with Aldridge out, we actually don't see Iacob Pertle's usage rate change too much. We actually see him boost up to 1.22 Fandall points per minute, which is really solid for guys only $4,000. We should be seeing, you know, plenty of usage going through the rows in and the youth to Murray, throwing some patty mills in there, Rudy Gay, whoever it may be. And although the 13% usage rate on Pertle is amazing, we want to be trusting at 1.22 production per minute. So at $4,000, if you're not spending up for Embiid tonight, take some savings with Pertle.   Pertle's a fine alternative option for the San Antonio Spurs here. He's had his moments. Let's take advantage of another one tonight. Final player here that we got to bring up tonight here, Tom, it's Nasred of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nasred's got an opportunity to play. And the question I know a lot of fantasy owners have had is, Nasred or James Johnson, which one do you play without Carl and Anthony Towns in the lineup? You're going with Nasred. I'll come. Yeah, Nasred, I would say an interesting play. 20 plus minutes or 21 plus minutes in four straight games dating back to prior to the All-Star break when Carl and Anthony Towns first missed against Charlotte. We look at his production and you're saying, OK, do we go to Nasred or go to James Johnson? Somewhere around the same price range, playing somewhere in the similar minutes. I just like Nasred's game a little bit better. And that just might be a personal thing for me. And I think he actually matches up a little bit better on tonight's slate if he's going to be out there being a little more athletic with Bam Adebayo, who should be playing for the Miami Heat. And if we look at the current starting lineup for the Timberwolves, obviously they're changing things, getting D'Anthola Russell. He's in and out of the lineup. He actually holds Redud. Redud holds the second highest usage rate and the second highest Fandome points permitted, sitting at a 23% usage rate and a 1.28 Fandome points permitted behind D'Anthola Russell. So we want to be trusting the player that is becoming their secondary scorer without caroling any doubts. All right, it's a preference there from Tom. Nasred over James Johnson likes the way he plays, likes what he has given you over the past couple of games here for Minnesota. Nasred, a fine cheaper option here on a Fandome. So what I was looking at a little while ago, and Nasred worth putting in your lineups tonight. That's going to do it for us here on the Fandome hurry of time. We appreciate the time. Good luck tonight. Same to you. Absolutely. Tomorrow, Jim Sannas will join me as we take a look at the XFL this weekend. I'm Greg Sussman. Thanks so much for watching. We'll see you back here tomorrow.


10 isolates belonging to produce SPP were collected and diagnosed by PCR using 16S RNA gene and ureaC gene. All isolates were sensitive to several antibiotics, but both species of P. mirabilis and P. vulgaris showed low sensitivity to tetracycline and amicacin. AG and TiO2 N-piece were found to inhibit the growth of these bacteria, with mic values of 10 milligrams per milliliter for AG N-piece and 14 to 15 mg slash ml for TiO2 N-piece. The FLAL gene expression was down-regulated in response to the N-piece, which led to a decrease in swarming movement. It is recommended to use these inhibitors in combination with antibiotics to treat produce infections while minimizing toxicity to humans.

Yeah, so I was playing a little Taco Cat. Anyone familiar with Taco Cat there? No? Oh my God, it's criminal. They're kind of like a combination. They're like an English version of Shonen Knife, which is a Japanese version of the Ramones. They're big in Seattle and they're starting to tour, so they're my new favorite band this year. So yeah, as PJ said, my name is Carrie Miller. I'm based out of Seattle. I am mostly a back-end Ruby and closure developer for Living Social. What are we doing at Living Social? You win. Come see me later for a sticker. Before that though, I was a teacher at Ada Developers Academy. Has anyone heard of Ada Developers Academy? I see three people. I hear eight. Okay, that's great. No one here likes public participation. They're a 12 month boot camp, essentially. It's a six month classroom full time followed by a six month internship for students. And it's aimed primarily at women who are transitioning into a programming career. And what do people pay for this awesome, awesome amount of program and support? Zero dollars. In fact, we actually pay the students $1,000 a month as long as they're in the program. So that's something I'm particularly proud of. But while I was there last winter, I was trying to think of things to teach and someone said concurrency. I said, okay, well let me think about concurrency. So I started thinking about it. You know, and I watched a lot of conference talks and I read a lot of blogs and this is kind of my reaction. But I thought, you know, I can do this. I can do this. Anyone can do this, right? Anyone can fit a pony into their talk. It's easy. So if you go out and you watch conference talks about concurrency and specifically how we do concurrency in Ruby, you end up kind of like this after a while.  They look a little insane. And they're using a lot of words and terminology and concepts that if you haven't explored concurrency or don't have a CS background, you might not be familiar with. So that's kind of what I'm gonna talk about today. Pretty much what people always say about concurrency in Ruby are things like this.  So like, what does all this mean? What is concurrency? That's kind of like the basic question that a lot of people have at the beginning. Does anyone wanna take a stab at it? Do we multiple things at once? Yeah, that's not a bad idea. Actually, how many people here are CS majors? Curiosity, oh, it's about half actually. Okay, that's about right for a Ruby audience. We seem to be either CS majors or crazy weird artists, you know, musicians and things, or both actually, a number of us there too. So I did go to art school, but in an alternate timeline, I'm actually a chef to cuisine because I went to cooking school for three whole weeks. Obviously, I'm qualified. One of my classmates was Alton Brown, so you know that I'm kind of a big deal. So as I was reading, I decided to go back to school a little bit. And I got some computer textbooks and all of the concurrency examples start with, imagine an infinite supply of spaghetti. And they present you with this, which is the dining philosophers problem. Does this look familiar to anyone? Couple people, yeah. And this is kind of how a lot of times CS programs start describing concurrency. It's this idea of you have all these philosophers and there's five of them and they need two forks each to eat spaghetti, but they can only grab one fork and then like what do you do with the philosophers with no forks or one fork? And it's really an example to sort of model what happens when you get into a resource constraint environment, you start having deadlocks and threads can't complete because they can't get resources and they can't get resources because the other ones can't complete. And so it's this horrible, horrible thing, but that's not really concurrency in a way. That's just describing a model of handling processes.  So I thought about Thanksgiving as I often do, being from New England and being love those candy DMS, you know, but all of these dishes are generally served on the same table, right? We've got to get it onto the table by 4.30 because there's a game on at 5.30 and grandma's gonna have to go home at six and someone's gonna get drunk if we don't get food into them soon. That's typical American family Thanksgiving, at least in my house. Am I the weird one? Okay. Well, tricks on you I am. But the problem with most typical American homes, right? Like I don't know about y'all, but I have one oven and a turkey cooks at about 300 degrees for four hours and roast vegetables is 400 degrees for 45 minutes. So how do I handle that? How do I handle that? And so cooking Thanksgiving dinner is very, very much of a parallel sort of idea to a concurrency problem where we have conflicting needs and those things are all battling for limited resources and they all need to, excuse me, they often need to interact with each other. For example, if you need the pan drippings from the turkey to make gravy or you need that pot again because you really only have one roasting pan, so you have to organize these sorts of things. And it's a lot of planning. But this is just one day out of the year. What do these people do? When we put in an order at a restaurant, it doesn't get processed in the order that we give it, right? There's not one chef gets our ticket and it makes each item as we gave it to the waitress, right? They have different people with different jobs. You have the garde-manger who handles salads and vegetables, a saucier who's responsible for sauteing and putting a hollandaise sauce on things. People with very specialized jobs and very specialized roles. And that's how they manage to get everything onto the table at the same time, looking relatively well cooked and nice, usually hiding the bad bits in the bottom. And it's a lot like how CPUs are built today because we're actually at the threshold in many ways of the actual physics of computer chip technology. We're at the point where we're making chips so small that quantum effects are starting to impact the ability for a processor to do things. The amount of heat generated by electrons going through all the little tiny wires and processors are trying to interfere with other ones. And so we have to do other things. So we start building chips that are able to analyze our code and process it out of order and break it apart because it's cheaper to go down the stack further to do something before you're finished with something further high up on the stack. It's very weird voodoo area for just a simple rubious like myself. So if you can imagine the CPU has a little tiny kitchen, it has a lots of these little chefs that are running back and forth and by using some of the tools of concurrency we can start to impact what they do and assign them different tasks to process. Now somebody said that concurrency is doing lots of things at once. Well, I'm doing a lot of things at once right now, right? I'm trying to talk into a microphone, I'm trying to stay within this puddle of light that I have up here, I'm trying to digest very quickly the noodle lunch that I had. And I'm also trying to give a talk. So really it's not really about doing a lot of things at once although in a way it is, it's the coordination of doing things at once. Things that need to interact with each other that are related to each other. For example, sending five groups off in different directions to go to lunch and expecting them all to come back at the same time. That's kind of a concurrency problem, right? Because I don't really know how long each one's gonna take but I kind of expect they'll take a certain amount of time but I can't predict it but I need to coordinate it to get them back. So really concurrency is about dealing with lots of things at once. Parallelism is simply doing a lot of things at once. And as you look at concurrency, this is one of those things that comes up an awful lot. People keep saying this kind of idea but it doesn't really tell you what actually is going on in there. So how does Ruby kind of solve this problem? How does it take our programs and allow us to split tasks up and make things happen multiple ways on a chip or set of chips and then kind of all come back into a glorious finish at the end? Well, we have to kind of start with understanding the process model. So a Ruby program runs the side of a single operating system process, generally speaking. And inside of that process, Ruby can execute a thread or another thread. So a thread is essentially a little tiny mini process that's running inside of the same memory space. So it has access to the same variables and the same little bits of RAM that have been assigned to the process under which they're running. Each process then has sort of this space of memory that they have to kind of manage each other. And in an ideal world, we let the CPU figure out what to do from there. So the trick is that way back, as far back as MRI 187, we have this idea of green threads. So these threads are all sort of kind of look like operating system threads, multiple things happening in the same spot of memory. But Ruby kind of figures out the order to do things. Unfortunately then, we're only able to really process what's going on in one of these threads at a single time because of this thing called the global interpreter lock, which I like to imagine looks like this. It's got my program tied to the railroad tracks. It's got my code tied to an application. So when it comes to concurrency in Ruby, the GIL is kind of the villain of the story in a lot of ways. It's this locking mechanism with very good intentions. What it does is it protects your data. It allows data to be modified by one and only one thread at any given time. And it prevents, this is meant to prevent corruption or leakage between these threads because remember they're all sharing memory, right? So they can kind of interact with each other. They can break things like log demeter, right? And like reach over and screw around or they can share the same variable that's gonna be changing out from under them. And the GIL kind of helps protect us from those sorts of things. And in 187, this wasn't really a huge problem under MRI. Since the Ruby interpreter itself is only assigned a single thread in the main process to the computer itself, the work couldn't get spread to other cores. It was fine, so you didn't really need to, you can only execute one set of instructions at a time anyway. This is a little tiny Ruby script that I wrote. It doesn't really do anything, it's just loops endlessly. But if you watch the output of a process list, you can see that there's only a single process and there's no subsidiary threads. You all can't see that at all, can you? Basically, I've got a couple Z-shells here and then I've got one single Ruby executable that's running here and it's running at 100% of my CPU. It's taking up as much resources as it possibly can and that's it. That's all that's running on my machine. When we got to 193, the MRI was suddenly able to have multiple threads out to the CPU, to the kernel here. So Ruby could access multiple cores. It could suddenly let the CPU do all the scheduling to say when a thread needed to execute versus another. And that's really cool, right? Because now we could actually use threads and have concurrency except there's still the global interpreter lock. So we've got multiple threads and kernel threads now, but we still have the guild to get around and that's true in MRI 2.0 and 2.1 and probably 2.2. So here's the same exact script running under 193. I still have a couple Z-shell terminals open but here's my Ruby process, but now I've got some threads running and these three right here, excuse me, these are the three threads that are running that I set up in the original script. And the amount of processor that they're taking up here is about 100%, they're sharing the resource. However, this column right to the right of those numbers, the stat column, S is for sleeping and R is for running, essentially. And only one of those is running. So they're frantically switching back and forth. So it thinks it's using all the processor but it's not, it's switching between them. Now not every Ruby interpreter has this sort of limitation. Rubinius doesn't, MacRuby doesn't, JRuby certainly doesn't, JRuby is really the most popular one that people who want to have multiple threads and have the Ruby program doing multiple things at the same time are running on. This is the same exact script running under JRuby which runs on the JVM, so it's not reaching down into the C libraries. Here's that same exact Ruby script and a whole bunch of Java threads because Java, that's efficient. But down here at the bottom you can still see here's our three threads that I spun up and you can't see it, but I can. They total about 180%, which means that it's splitting it across more than one CPU generally and their status, all three of them is R. So they're all running in parallel. So in this case, under JVM, I've got three threads that are all running simultaneously counting to 10 forever. You still can't see it. So a lot of people had this kind of reaction, right? Why do we have the GIL? Why is it there? It's preventing us from taking full advantage of these massively-cored machines we have, right? Like I bought a Mac Pro. I've got two 16-core chips in there. Why can I only use one of them? Why did I pay for all that extra? Matt's owes me a computer. Actually, probably two by now, just the amount of time I've spent working on this stuff. But the GIL really isn't bad. It protects us from shooting ourselves in the foot because Ruby's concurrency tools are a little bit primitive and they're hard to manage. And so the GIL protects us. But really what the GIL is there is it's protecting Ruby because MRI Ruby being written on C, not all the C libraries it depends upon are thread safe, which means that the C itself in trying to execute under these different threads could be breaking things that we wouldn't even know that the problem wouldn't be inside of Ruby but inside of the interpreter itself. And so the GIL keeps us safe. So here's another little chunk of Ruby code. It's just benchmarking what happens if we sleep for one second twice versus creating two new threads, each of them sleeping for one second. Anyone wanna guess what happens? You've seen a conference talk before. Exactly. So the first one runs and it sleeps twice for one second, one second, loop one second, and it takes two seconds. The version with the threads runs and it takes about a second to run those two threads simultaneously. And this is about what we'd expect because while we're sleeping for a second, the interpreter says, sweet, I don't have to do any work here. I can go let the other thread do something. And so they end up taking about a second. However, if we actually try to do this where we multiply one times one 10,000 times or we have two threads that do it each 5,000 times, we actually run into this problem where our first solution takes six 10,000ths of a second. The threaded version takes seven 10,000ths of a second. So it's actually slower. It's actually slower here to do the threading. And that's because the threading has to switch back and forth between these two threads and do scheduling and actually do all those calculations. And so this is kind of one of those surprising moments where people say, oh, well, our Ruby app is slow. Man, Rails is really slow. I'm gonna throw concurrency in. And then it slows down, it slows way down. I had a gem that does poker hand calculation. It takes about five minutes to run through 1.3 trillion hand combinations. PJ wasn't kidding. Don't play poker with me. And I thought, wow, five minutes. Well, I could write a C extension, but I hate myself or don't hate myself. So I'm gonna put some concurrency on it and do all these calculations next to each other. And then it took seven minutes.   It spins up 10 threads that multiply and they increment this sum value each time. And whenever the value is divisible by 250,000, it prints it out. At the end, it should print out about a million. That's kind of what we'd expect, right? But you've seen the conference talk. So you know, in fact, it doesn't. It doesn't actually. So what's going on here? Why are these threads unable to perform their functions? Well, the problem is, in this case, we have this print statement here. And just like the sleep, when the interpreter hit it and said, great, I'm not doing anything, I can let another thread do some work while I'm waiting for that sleep to end. Here it's saying, sweet, we're printing something. It's going out to standard out. I can let another thread take over and do something. And so it gets up to 249,499, and then it tries to print it and it stops. And the next one comes in and starts at zero and it runs up and so on and so on. And so we get very, very weird behavior. It's not what we expect. And mostly it's because we're doing a print statement in there, but really it's because what we're doing is we're sharing state. These threads are communicating with each other through this variable that's scoped outside of the threads. They're coming down here and they're setting this value of some until they keep running over each other because they've got one mailbox and they keep shoving different values in there and screwing each other up. But this is actually a really super easy problem to solve. We can just add a mutex. Anyone not know what a mutex is?  I don't know. If you raise your hand it's pretty cool. So basically the idea is a mutex is like a hall pass for a variable, right? It's like only one person can leave this classroom at a time. And so we create a mutex and then we say inside the thread that we're gonna synchronize and it's like, think of like a transaction, right? Like this is all going to complete and nobody else can grab any resources from this thread until this thread is finished. That's cool. It's sometimes you'll see them called monitors or semaphores, there's a few different models, but this is basically what it's doing. It's the key to the bathroom. And so we throw that in and now our code runs perfectly fine if you could see it. So that's kind of the state of kind of doing basic concurrency in Ruby in that you can create new threads and tell them to do things and sometimes they screw up. We shoot ourselves in the foot and so we have to build these very elaborate structures around our code in order to keep them from blowing up, from returning weird things, from saying banana when we say what kind of car do you drive? It's very, very weird world sometimes. And so if you wanna do real concurrency and still write Ruby, you gotta switch to one of those other languages like Rubinius or MacRuby or JRuby. Pretty much JRuby is the only one I've ever seen in production. So has anyone ever done a Rubinius project? MacRuby? One person, okay. So I don't like that, right? Like who likes that? Who wants to build everything for yourself? All these other languages have things built into them that handle concurrency problems for us and we don't have to deal with the wiring of everything. It's as if I bought a new car and it came in a kit and I had to rebuild it from scratch every time or you know, I had to put gas in it every day. That would be horrible. Who wants that? But again, threads in mutexes and fibers in Ruby, that's not really concurrency. That's just the story. That's the building blocks, the words that Ruby uses and gives us to express what we want. And concurrency isn't about that. It's about doing things, many things and coordinating them. So threads are simply a means to an end. It's important to understand about threads in mutexes if this is something you wanna get into but it's not the end of things. It's merely the beginning. Cause when you crack the hood on an actor or a supervisor or a reactor pattern, you find threads, you find mutexes but why do we have to build it for ourselves? I can keep going on about this point cause it really, really annoys me because Ruby's about happiness and I wanna be happy and I love Ruby. It's what I do all day long and it makes me so friggin' happy and then I gotta do this. I have to build it myself and it's horrible. And Matt knows it. He said like, you know, if he had it to do over, like rip it out, put in actors or some other advanced features that let you work with concurrency because the stuff's really kind of primitive. So what are these other things that other languages have to give us? What could we go learn about concurrency by picking up another language and playing with it? A lot of them use something called the actor model which is kind of the Erlang and Scala plan. An actor is very much like a thread, you give it a task to do except it doesn't share memory state with the other threads or the other actors. In fact, those other actors communicate with each other not by sharing state but they share a state by communicating, by sending each other messages. This is what I'm doing. What are you doing? Hey, I hit this point. Hey, I hit this point. This is my result. And that's really much more of an OO solution, right? We have objects that can send messages to each other instead of us having to like reach across and see what's going on in your guts. The reactor pattern which is super popular in Node.js for better or worse, it's surprisingly simple. It kind of, it starts like this. What's better, Ember or Angular? So Vim, Emacs. I'm trying to because, man, lunch. I wanted to fight someone at lunch. Slowest service ever. Instead of waiting for our actors or our threads to go figure out which is better, Ember or Angular, I say which is better. If you like Ember, you should go read these three blogs. If you like Angular, go get some work done. And now you know where my bias lies. So I don't have to sit there. I don't have to wait for this response, right? It's like, I can just do it and walk away. Unfortunately, anyone see the problem with this? And the reason why Node is kind of doing some soul searching and like, oh my God, what have I signed up for? Well, now we have to do all the upfront work of defining for our threads. Do this thing and then do these two other things depending on that. And then those things could have their own, their own callbacks and results. And so it becomes, it can really spiral into a really nasty world really fast. And if something blows up way down the stack in one of those branches, what are you gonna do? So there's a lot of work you have to do to like recover and think about it. But it's still pretty popular. It gets used in a lot of places. One kept at a very simple level. In that way, it's a little bit like, excuse me, inheritance in Ruby or in Rails. We don't use it all that often, you know, but when we do, it's because we know we need it. We don't just, we don't go six or seven stacks deep and we're not Java developers, come on. We chose to be happy. So this is really the biggest problem with actually trying to use a reactor pattern is it kind of forces you to change how you write code. And you can use these in Ruby, but it's a total different way of thinking about your code and structuring it. Golang, is anyone, any gophers? I'm kind of a mini-gopher. Brian, I know you use Go. Yeah, I love Go.   I won't start a fight about that, but I would if anyone has played with those. I'd love to hear your opinions. I'm really enjoying Go. Go has this idea of channels, which is kind of like an actor, right?   I mean, not right now, don't leave. Like, don't panic, but imagine it was. Would you call Sally, John, and Bob down at the fire station on their personal cell phones and tell them to come to your house? No, you call 911. You call a channel. You don't call the actors that are listening to that channel. And so one of the interesting things about channels is it kind of becomes a pub subsystem for these concurrent things that are happening inside your system. And later on, you can expand those very easily into service calls or full-fledged applications on their own. So it's really an interesting slight change to thinking about instead of having an actor do something, you have a channel do it, and you kind of don't really need to worry about what's going on underneath there. You're sending a message instead of telling something to do something. That's very oh-oh. So it's been about 28 minutes, and I talked about three patterns and a whole bunch about the gill and I hope some of that stuck. And I hope that you don't feel like this. I feel like this a lot when I'm thinking about concurrency when I'm trying to use it because it can be a little bit crazy. Concurrency can melt your brain because it behaves a little bit differently than you expect, especially when you're Rubyist, you just kind of get used to not being surprised, right? I've got this like text file you'd ever note that I keep of all, every time Ruby surprises me with something. And someday I'm gonna put together like a top 10 weird things about Ruby that Matt doesn't want you to know about. It's gonna be the best talk ever. It's gonna be so good. So many ponies. But concurrency is a place where this happens, right? Like the program's doing exactly what you told it to, right?  And we don't realize how biased we are to a worldview where line 12 happens, then line 13. Well, then we go down and do some code down here in a method, but then we come back up and we're on line 14. It really biases how we think. And so we just don't have the mental models necessarily until you start playing with it to see how these things are interacting with each other across time. It's very weird. One of the reasons that we don't really deal with it is that like, hey, like 90% of us are writing Rails and Sinatra or other framework applications for the web, right? And a short-lived Rails process, like whatever, adding concurrency is not the lowest hanging fruit. You should be fixing 80 other things, right? You should be fixing active record problems and garbage collection and a whole host of problems that your app has well before you start thinking about adding concurrency. So it's really easy to fall in the trap of thinking, yeah, I read a blog post about concurrency and I'm gonna add it to my app and it's gonna be great. No, it's not because time and time and time again, right? Everyone who's worked on the project more than a month has seen this, right? We overestimate the benefit of what we're doing and we underestimate the cost every time. And it doesn't matter what numbers we say, it almost always happens. It's really easy to feel like a pony, especially when I'm wearing my rainbow-onesy. Oh yeah, high cosplay. But feeling like this is never an excuse. You should go write some code and understand these things because there are other languages that are knocking on the door that are chasing at the heels of Ruby. And Ruby's gonna change. Ruby is a wonderfully dynamic language with a really vibrant core team that responds to problems and extending it and thinking about problems. And these sorts of things are going to come in to play at some point. And so it behooves you to try other languages that stretch your thinking about computer science that introduce you to new problems and new areas for thought and exploration. And it's just go write some code. It's not hard, it's just code. It's what Brandon did this morning. Find somebody who knows this stuff and just ask them a question and get started because nine times out of 10, they're just waiting for you to ask them if you're actually interested in this sort of stuff. Here are four or five things to look at. I'm a big fan of the seven patterns and seven weeks books. Anyone else like those? Anyone hate them, actually? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Okay, like eight people. It's basically like here's a chapter, read it this week. Here's another chapter on a different topic. Read it this week, they're really cool. There's a concurrent Ruby project that has like 60 something different advanced concurrency patterns that they're pulling in from other languages and writing them in thread safe Ruby. It's really interesting project to sort of see, implemented in Ruby what other languages are doing. It helps you understand it. And then of course, Rust for Rubyists by Steve Klamnik has a lot on concurrency and Rust is doing some really interesting stuff in that realm too. I'm well out of time. I wanna thank everybody. A little discombobulated from lunch being kind of weird but thanks for sticking around. Thank you, Terry.


In this presentation, we will take a look at Attribute Sampling Applied to Test of Controls. When conducting a statistical sample for a test of controls, auditing standards require the auditor to properly plan, perform, and evaluate sampling application and to adequately document each phase of the sampling application. Those phases including the planning, the performance, evaluation, and document. We're going to go through each of these phases, of course, starting with the first one, that being the planning phase. Within planning, we will set test objectives. Objective of Attribute Sampling when used for tests of controls is to evaluate operating effectiveness of the internal controls. We will define the population's characteristics, those including define the sampling population, define the sampling unit, define the control deviation conditions, discuss these items in more depth shortly. Next, we will set the sample size using desired confidence level or risk of incorrect acceptance, tolerable deviation rate, expected population deviation rate. Again, we will go into these items in more depth shortly. Now we're going to go into the definitions up here and then define the population characteristics starting with the defined the sampling population. What does it mean to define the sampling population? That's going to be all or a subset of the items that constitute the class of transactions make up the sampling population. So the sampling population is the entire population. For example, if we wanted to test something, say we're testing an internal control related to the purchasing process, some type of verification within the purchasing process. We have the purchasing documentation going through. We want to check if there's some type of verification in accordance with the set of controls, which may be indicated, say by initials related to that documentation. So the population size then would be all of the documents that would be involved in this purchasing documents that should have this indication on it that they have been properly verified in accordance with the internal control. That's going to be the entire full population or the sampling population. To find the sampling unit, the sampling unit then is each sampling unit makes up one item in the population. So in this case, it would be one of the purchase order documents that we're looking for that would have this indication that it does have the verification on it. This sampling unit will be defined in relation to the control being tested. So that's going to be our units that we're going to be testing. We're going to be testing these units. And then we're going to be testing to see if they apply or are in compliance with what we are looking for. In this case, we're going to say some type of initial that would indicate the verification. To find the control deviation condition, a deviation is a difference from the adequate performance of the internal control. So if we were to, for example, look at this document, be expecting some initial that would indicate the verification, and we don't find that, then that would be the deviation. We have to say, okay, there's going to be an item that we have found that's a deviation. Doesn't mean that the whole population is now wrong because we might expect, depending on the type of controls that we will have some deviation, but we're testing the amount of deviation within that basic sample size that we're then going to apply to the entire population. Then if we go to the set, the sample sizing size using desired confidence level or risk of incorrect acceptance. So we're thinking about the setting of the sample size, looking specifically at the desired confident level or risk of incorrect acceptance acceptance. Confidence level is this desired level of assurance that sample results will support the conclusion that the control is functioning effectively. Usually when the auditor has decided to rely on controls, the confidence level is set at 90% or 95%. So notice we're getting very specific in our testing here using statistical sampling, actually using the units of 90 to 95%. This means the auditor is willing to accept a 10% or 5% risk of accepting control as effective when it is not. So that means

Tired of the everyday grind? Have a dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you escape. Escape, designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure. You are trapped in a snowbound cabin in northern Canada.  Listen now, as escape brings you Anthony Ellis' terrifying story, a study in wax. It was late October when the radio shack burned down. We never did decide whose fault it was. Maybe Cabell with his cigarettes or maybe me. Anyway, I guess the whole thing began when we lost the phone transmitter and receiver. Cabell and I had been sent up to the Northwest Territory by the Canadian Geodetic Survey people. It was a long job and the biggest part of it was the loneliness. I remember what Cabell said as we watched the government supply boat steaming off. It's gonna be a long winter. Yeah, hope they don't run into any trouble on the way back, that ice is closing in fast. Yeah, so long for us. See you next spring. It's getting cold.  Yeah. Well, we might as well get the rest of the stuff unpacked, huh? All right. It's kind of lonely with them gone, you know? Yeah. You better get used to it. Oh, I will. It's funny that after spending most of your life in cities, I suppose you feel this kind of thing more. There's an awful lot of nothing out there. You need a drink, come on. It wasn't that Cabell was moody or anything like that. I think he wasn't used to being out of touch with people and things he was accustomed to in the cities. I was the opposite. I kind of liked the loneliness. As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, we were a pretty strange couple to hit it off the way we did. And when you got seven months to spend alone with another man, you got to be sure of each other. Now, we thought we were until after the radio was gone. That day it burned, we stood in the snow watching the embers glowing and the wisps of smoke rising into the cold sky. Well, it's gone. We still got the code sender just in case. No, but I'm going to miss the programs and the music. I tell you, we could send a message to the bass if you like, ask him to fly out another receiver. Oh, no, no, no. You know old McLeod. He'd boil. Waste of money, probably take it out of our pay. No, we'll do without it. That's all right with me.  I don't think you'd mind if you had to stay here alone for seven months, you know? Be dull. I wouldn't have anybody to beat a chess. Well, I think we'd better use the theodolites tomorrow, get to work on that western section over the range triangulation. Oh, Jack. Yeah, what? If it was my cigarette that burned down the shack, I'm sorry. Forget it. I may have done it myself. Forget it. By the end of November, we'd done pretty well as far as work was concerned, but Cabell was getting jittery. We had a weak stretch where we couldn't move out of the camp. It was around 30 below outside and blowing 60 miles an hour. Cabell had read most of the things we'd brought along and was sitting at the table trying to beat a solitaire game. I was oiling my gun. Odds are against you every time. Oh, I know it. Oh, I wish this weather would ease off. It will. Hey, I got an idea. What? What do you say we open our Christmas presents tonight? Our Christmas? Yeah. It's November. I know. I know, but I'll bet there'll be some books. I told my folks to pack some books. Well, what'll you do when you're finished? I don't know, but I've got to do something. I just wish we had the radio. Look, we can send a message.  If not, maybe he'll be feeling good and send it to us. It's worth a try. Do you mind? It's not you, Jack. We talk and play chess, and it's swell, but I miss the outside. I feel like... I know. Give me a pencil. Sure, I'll get one. Yeah. Thanks. Now, how does this radio shack burn to ground? Can you send new receiver have only small set on fixed channel? Jack, couldn't you say emergency? No, that'll go over big with McLeod. We miss Canadian and US mystery shows, must continue to hear them in order to keep up our work. Uh-uh. Leave it as it is. Switch on the generator, will you? Sure. It's kind of stuffy in here, isn't it? I was thinking it was cool. Old woman. Well, here we go. McLeod's gonna love this. The reply from McLeod came back the following day. It was long involved and said what could have been said in one word. No. Our chief was a very careful man and believed in others following his example. Therefore, if our radio was gone, it was our fault, and the next time, we should be more careful. And that was that. The weather let up a bit, and we got some work done. It was still terribly cold, but it didn't bother us now that the wind was gone. I noticed that Cabell was much quieter after our request for the radio had been turned on. He began to get a feeling as though he blamed me for it. So, a week before Christmas, we just finished supper, and I said, Larry, about those Christmas presents. What about them? What do you say we open them, huh? Well, I thought you didn't want to until Christmas. Well, I changed my mind. It's a matter. You're trying to be nice to me. I can take this as well as you can. I don't need you feeling sorry for me. Oh, I'm not sorry. I don't give a good stink one way or the other. I'm just saying, if you want to open the packages now, it's all right with me. They're yours. It's not my business. Do what you want. Oh, wait a minute. Will you open yours? Sure. Okay. He got a hammer and started to pry open the case. Our families and friends had done their shopping in August, and we'd put their gifts together in the case. And at the sight of those colorful wrappings, Cabell began to smile. Oh, mother of mine. He was back in touch again. They were little things, but a label, a scratch of handwriting, the feel of something different was blotting out his loneliness. Hey, we did great. The great far coolness outside. Come on over. Come on. See what you got. Okay. It doesn't feel like books. They wouldn't back them like this, would they? They might. This is from my sister. You met a Jack Nancy, the one in Winnipeg. Oh, Nancy. Oh, yeah, sure. Hey, look! What? Look at that. Look what we got. It's a phonograph. A phonograph? Yeah, there must be some records in here. Jack, wind it up, will you? Oh, yeah. This is great. There's a big stack up here. There must be all the lousy, crummy luck. What's the matter? They're broken. Oh, that's a shame. All of them? Well, there's two of them. It's okay. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's great. Listen to this, will you? What? Bugle calls of His Majesty's army. What? I mean it. Look. It belonged to my father. I remember him playing it when I was a kid. Oh, what's the other one? Oh, it's the age ago of Shostakovich. It's one of my favorites. No, Benny Goodman or anything like that. No, that's right. I forgot you. You don't much like this long hair music, do you? Oh, not much. It's okay. Come on, let's take a listen to that bugle call thing. That ought to be something. Here, I think I got a one-lip enough. Well, I tell Nancy about that fancy packing job I heard. The following bugle sounds are the authorized calls to be used in His Majesty's service. The charge. The charge? This brings back memories. The alarm. You know we could have used this one when the shack burned down? The first call. And this one, everybody comes. And it's the next one. We got a lot of laughs out of that old record. Played it a couple of times and had a couple of drinks. And I tell you that phonograph, even with only two records, it made a lot of difference to us. The strain seemed to be gone. And then Cabell put on his Shostakovich and got lost in it. To me, it wasn't much. It was all cluttered up with a lot of noise that hurt your ears. He must have played it a half a dozen times while we unwrapped the rest of the things. There were a lot of books and magazines, and that was real good. I figured we could stretch him out for at least three months, which would take us into March. But by the next day, the weather turned bad. A blizzard came down. We stayed inside until the day after Christmas. And Cabell, he was like a kid. He smoked cigars, drank brandy, listened to his record and read. And in ten days, he'd read every single thing. And then he had nothing to do but listen to his record. Oh, you're not going to play it again. Sure do you mind? Well, I wouldn't mind not listening to it for a while. Why don't you try the bugle calls? They're quieter anyway. You'll learn to appreciate good music, Jack. You're missing something. Well, maybe I will. But not from that. It's beautiful. Well, not to me it isn't. Why don't you let it go for a while, huh? I feel that way about it. How about a game? No, not right now, thanks. I want to finish reading this article. What are you reading? Oh, yeah, I read that. That's not much. You know that guy never could write. Oh, I think it's pretty good. It depends on what you're used to reading, I guess. What kind of a crack is that? A thing. Nothing, it just depends on what you're used to reading, that's all. Does that make me a lowbrow? Oh, you said it, I didn't. You better check the oil outside. I did it yesterday, it's your turn. Uh-uh, I did it this morning and this weather we do it twice a day. You remember? Oh, yes, sir. You trying to be funny? No. No, I just didn't like the way you said it. We're both in charge here, you know, not you or me. Nobody gives orders here, we share the responsibility. Okay, okay, then do your share. All right, all right. I'm going out to check the oil and not because you say to do it, you know, but because I want to. Well, good for you. When I think of it now, we sounded like a couple of kids. And I can't even remember what it was that set us off. But I'll never forget what happened because of that day. You don't easily forget a thing like death. We will return to escape in just a moment, but first... Well, and I didn't talk to each other for the next few days. Not the way we used to, I mean, just conversation that was necessary to do our work. And that was it. He didn't play his record either. New Year's Eve Day, we got a couple of messages through and code from our families. I guess we both felt pretty bad. Cabell was trimming the oil stove when I decided to try and make things up. Uh, say Larry. Yeah? Look about that business the other night. I, uh, I'm sorry. That's my fault. Really, it's just kind of silly, you know? Yeah. You know, it's probably just as well that we had to bust up then. There's still three months to go before that ship comes by. Yeah, I know. And thanks for not playing that record. It's okay. I wish that we didn't stop. It gets on my nerves. You know something? I got something that's good for that. What? What do you got there? Something to toast the New Year. Champagne and two bottles. Oh, what an idea. Oh, Jack, this is wonderful. We'll stick them outside for a couple of minutes and cool them off. Here, let me have them. I'll do it. You want to know something? The best thing for you and me to do tonight is to get roaring, stinking drunk. Champagne with Brandy Chasen. All right. Happy New Year, Larry. Same to you, Jack. And we got drunk. We got red-eyed drunk. And we talked about women and ourselves and our dreams. And it was sloppy and it was great. The kind of a haze you get when it doesn't matter and you're feeling good about everything. And it was fine until Cabell decided it was time to hear some music. I didn't mean to. Jack, I want you to really listen to this now. I mean, really listen. This Shostakovich, he makes them all look sick with this thing. No, I want you to really listen to this. But I don't like it, Larry. Well, now, listen. Don, Jack, I mean... Might never have had a drink, I was so sober. Cabell had reached up for one of the holsters that hung near the door. And he wobbled to his feet. And God held tightly in his hand.  And I just stood there. And I put the record down on the turntable. You're gonna break it, won't you? I knew you were. I knew because it gives me pleasure to listen to it and you don't like that. Well, listen to it and you don't, so you get outside. Oh, Larry, you're crazy. It's 40 below out there. I'll freeze it. I don't do your real good. Jack, you get outside. All right, but let me get my things. No! Larry, listen to me. You're drunk. You don't know what you do. Open that door. Caught me open this way and I... It could happen. So I ran and I jumped. Anything to keep moving. And all the time I couldn't believe it was happening. I don't know how much time went by. Maybe it was a minute. Maybe it was ten. Florey's a potted snow blown off her roof. I saw Cabell standing in the doorway. And I saw the gun still in his hand hanging by his side. Come on in, Jack! And I forgot the cold. Jack!  Somehow I had to get him away from the cabin, get him outside where I'd have a chance. I might be able to make a wide circle and double back to the cabin before he knew what was happening. But I couldn't see and I... coldness of snow any longer. He was still seeing me. He was close enough. Close enough to shoot. And I tried to run stumbling. Then it was easier when I was going downhill. But he was behind me. It wasn't ground anymore. Not snow. It was ice. I reached the shore and I was going out on the frozen sea. I began to imagine that I could feel the movement of the sea under me. It didn't matter anymore. It didn't care. I just wanted a light dark ribbon to put the ice through. A semi-circle of ice had cracked away. He wasn't worried. He hadn't wanted to kill me. He was in the blackness. I got back to the cabin and I remember getting the transmitter switched on. Sending the message through. Then I got a flashlight in my furs on. I don't know how long I was down there on the ice. Morning. Looking. But I knew he was gone. I never see him again. And in the grey morning the planes came. And for two days they searched until the weather forced him back. And that was all. They flew me back to the hospital. Maybe I'll lose my hands. Maybe not. Not sure yet. Well, it doesn't matter anyway.


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. We have with us Jaya Velankar. She is the director of Jaggery. This is a women's rights organization which has been active since 1984. Their main campaigns are against violence. And, you know, right now the entire country is locked down because of the threat of COVID-19 spreading. What is happening to women who are at home? There is a perception being created that women at home are women who are safe. Jaggery also runs a helpline and Jaya is going to tell us how that helpline is able to help right now and whether the home is safe please. So, Jaya, how is the helpline fairing in these lockdown days? Okay, thanks Pragya and NewsClick for this opportunity to put forth what Jaggery and many other women's groups are also trying to do and say about how women are suffering under COVID-19 because they are women. Firstly, to start with our helplines. We have two helplines and walk-in center in our Shivallik office. Jaggery works in four communities in Delhi. So, in our office there are two helplines and in these communities also we have our team members who have four numbers. Now, let me tell you we have seen a reduction in the number of calls that we are getting. Okay. You know what happens you people generally ask us how many calls you are getting per week. So just by giving that number is not enough because some of those calls are also what we call follow up calls. What I mean when I say 50% reduction is in the fresh or new cases of violence that call us. What I'm saying is that since the lockdown suddenly the number of callers have dropped by 50%. Almost 50%. Now there is a reason behind this. This does not mean it will be erroneous on our part to conclude that that means there is no increase in domestic violence. In fact domestic violence may have exacerbated but the number of calls have gone down because of number of factors. Generally when do women call? Obviously when they are in distress but also when they are sure that no one is overhearing them talking about their domestic problems with a helpline person or a women's organization. With children and other family members being in home all 24 by 7 women are not able to find a time and space to call us even if they are having domestic violence, even if the beatings have gone up, even if the other forms of domestic violence have emerged or have continued or have become worse. We also need to remember that only 38% women have access to mobile phones in India. So during the lockdown even if that woman has so only those 38% women would make some effort to call us in any case or else they would some other ways to go out and make use of other phone machines and call us. Right now they are not able to do that. So all this has led to the reduction of calls is what we think. Even the United Nations has said how important helplines are and you know if you remember the Indian government had set up helplines 181 came after the Anirbhaiya case and so on. How do these government helplines and the helplines run by NGOs etc. How effective are they? How important are they at a time like this? You know there might be people who want food and shelter and water and in that context how much of a priority is women's safety in an environment like this? Yeah our team tried to find out about the helplines and also one stop centers in North Indian states and what we found out in 181 the response is very patchy. Sometimes they pick up the calls but majority of times that our councillors tried and this was confirmed by other NGOs also that there is not much response to 181. The same is true about 181. Women and in general public in any kind of distress they firstly presently they are trying to call 100. Number 100 is reached in everybody's memory so they are trying to reach out on that number but I mean it's overloaded and that can be totally understandable. Well the police is handling the health crisis so how will they handle the... But women and other people also do call 100 when they are in distress because presently only police seems to be on the streets or manning those barricades or you know they think there is a dual thing that is happening about the police. About the helplines also some of our women expressed that they are scared to reach out to police because we tried to say that you can walk up to the barricade in your basti and in case of any emergency just go and talk to those police. Police they are scared looking at all the videos of police brutality. It's not only in Delhi we work in Jharkhand also two districts of Jharkhand and some villages in Jharkhand and there also women are telling us that they are extremely scared to approach police. So while police seems to be the only agency which is working all 24 by 7 at the same time because of the brutality people are scared to go to them and there is no other government agency that seems to be there on the field helping people. About the shelter homes in Delhi there are around 11 shelter homes but has been so much rush so much demand that out of this 11 most of them are running to full capacity and are not able to admit new cases. Only four shelter homes are at the moment able to admit women so this is the situation these are the services that are available transport is not available and so if a woman is getting beaten very badly particularly at odd hours what will she do where will she go. So we are telling women that they should just come out of their homes and start making noise because it has I mean we are appealing to that bystander kind of camaraderie that people should show and should intervene. So let us hope that something like this people may take steps if women start coming out and saying that I'm being abused. And this is happening in posh localities I have wanted to ask you yes that this is not a problem only of the poor or the middle class this this is a problem of the entire socio economic spectrum right. Absolutely absolutely in Saket in Saket is one of the you know it's really upmarket areas of South Delhi in a woman was being trashed by her husband at night. I couldn't get the house number so as to inform the police. A friend's friend just mentioned so we are trying to get that information and I have requested that friend to pass on that information that any next time if this happens she can pass on the information to us and we can alert the police. Now how do things function. Even if it is happening next door they wouldn't take any stand or they wouldn't go and help.  In fact the fact say something else. These are the most dangerous places for women and that is what I wanted to draw your attention to when we talk about domestic violence even in present situation we generally visualize beatings we generally visualize verbal or emotional abuse. But in this present situation. There are other types of domestic violence that that also we should take we should be cognizant of what is happening. In if from jhakan we are getting a lot of reports and we have seen all over the country this train that migrant workers have now gone back to their villages. Without any jobs obviously they don't have any money there is a lot of anxiety there no money no cash rations are not enough. So the intra household inequality that always existed as part of patriarchy will become more profound in today's situation. So whether it is food distribution whatever meager rations women are getting they will be getting the least part of or least share out of that meager ration. Even if there are agencies who whether government or NGOs who are distributing masks we have seen men folk try to monopolize those masks. Young boys take on to their mothers because they want to go and hang at the NACA or probably meet their friends at NACA. There is this little bit of movement even within the communities and women who need to go out will not have masks. There is increased pressure on women to cater to because people are falling sick there is no food. So there is increased pressure on women to look after the sickly people. So unpaid care work has always been a form of I like to see it as domestic violence that has been perpetrated against women for ages. And that and now this epidemic has given a great opportunity for that to get expressed even more strongly. Exactly. And because because people ask me whether it is right to you know kind of justify the increase in violence because when I frustrated men are anxious and our women not anxious is they are also anxious and maybe taking out their frustration on young children or older people in the families. But we don't see the kind of scale that we see of violence against women. Men folk traditionally been given the power to take out their frustrations on the less powerful or who are weaker in their families. And so naturally all this frustration anxiety of whatever joblessness and what is going to happen tomorrow is going to be. There is this sense what as if you know there is this pandemic there is a lockdown and that everything must come to a standstill including health and now you have only the police which is representing the state which is visible. But countries like Spain and France there are reports of domestic violence there as well they try to put in some sort of system in place what can the state do in India. Two three things that come to my mind you mentioned France France declared and appeal to the women that if you are facing domestic violence and if you think if you are scared to stay in the same space let us know and we will put you up in hotels. Now country like France can afford to do that in India the simplest thing that the police and the government can do is remove the abuser rather than putting women and children in some shelter which is at the moment very difficult. Take away the abuser that is the first thing that they can do provided they want to do what I am what I want to highlight there are two three things. Because all the systems have come to standstill and a lot of migrant population has gone back and it's not only the daily wage or not even the students and even from the upper class upper class people they have gone to their homes hometowns. Yes, no are functioning probably. So with all this movement. I see a rise in unwanted pregnancies probably, because our government has, has not covered contraceptives probably as essential services and that would be one of the recommendations women's groups and health groups would strongly want to meet. That help lines running help lines for women in distress for children in distress you must have read the reports that child abuse cases have gone have grown many four which itself on this whole myth that homes are safe. Obviously homes safe to their children. So they will not be safe. Anything that is not safe for children and women is is our homes actually so essential services should include services like help lines. Now I have worked with Haryana government in the past for setting up counseling centers for women survivors of violence in public hospitals. And what was our experience that suppose there is a load on the hospital for whatever reason, there is a sudden rush in the gynecology ward. So the doctors would expect counselors sitting in this center, which, which was basically for women survivors of violence, they wouldn't be getting cases all 24 by seven. So sometime they would be sitting and filling their forms but the doctors would expect them to immediately come and help them to do their BP is and you know to do their record recording work. So in health and presently I think many government hospitals all across the country, they would expect counselors to go and do Corona work. Like in couple of our communities what we, we are told that there were this two or three private practitioners who used to come to that Basti and do their operate their the Wakanas clinics. The government told them to shut that down and report to duty on government hospital nearby for Corona 19. So the tendency is to take all the force health force on COVID-19 duty that is considered essential service, whereas we know that this kind of violations are taking place. There must be increase in force unprotected sex. What will that woman do? Where will she go? If she knows she's pregnant and she wants an abortion, where will she go? We have closed all the OPD's, all other services. We have read news reports of two pregnant, at least I remember two in the recent past where those pregnant women found it very difficult to approach government facility. They were turned away and one delivered in an auto rickshaw and I think one lost her baby. So childbirth, abortion, contraception, all this should be considered as essential services because a woman needing abortion today cannot possibly wait for a few more weeks. After which it may not remain an option for her and there is no attention being paid to that. So the third thing that I want to say is you very rightly said there is a lot of public messaging happening around COVID.  We have made mask compulsory in Delhi and Bombay at least, Maharashtra at least. Why this public messaging is not, we can easily have in the same bulletin or in the same message why there is no message against violence which is directed at men who are the main perpetrators of this violence, whether it is women, children, transgender, there are some vulnerable populations in our group.  And suppose there is government ration that is available, people queue up and sex workers are not treated well in that queue and so they had to go back and so they couldn't avail of that scheme. So what will happen to some of these populations? There should be public messaging against violence in general, that is also very much required. And what I think if you have gone through the disaster act that has been invoked, the 5000 Disaster Management Act, I could see in the guidelines for minimum standards of relief. The guideline includes only one minor thing about special provisions to widows and orphans. Apart from that, there is no mention of women. So many types of women and other vulnerable populations need support in this situation and government should immediately do something about it. Yeah, the ultimate question here is how long this lockdown will continue and women need to also get back to work at some point. So there's now talk of a graded system, some states are doing it. The center is also apparently considering some sort of a zonal release of people. What is it that we make a plan which is looking three months forward, not just a week ahead or even a month ahead in these circumstances? How urgent is it for women to get back to work? Absolutely urgent because the other need that is being voiced by communities is no cash in hand. And women again, they are expected to fulfill all the needs of their families, whatever the need. They don't have cash. So there needs to be some urgent steps that need to be taken. That 500 rupees in Jandan is too meager. You know, government is asking very rightly to wash their hands frequently. Women are saying we don't have any cash to buy any soap. Now we are thinking of adding soaps in our relief packets. Initially provided only dry rations, thinking that people will have some of these things stocked in their homes. Now after so many days, all those stocks are exhausted. You know even namak, masalas, chini and the other need that is coming is LPG cylinders. Not all have got that money in their account and even if they get their money in their account, how will they go out to withdraw that cash and then go and buy that LPG? So these are immediate and government needs to do something on war footing. Are women at the helpline actually asking this question? When will the lockdown be? Some of them yes. And even if not on helpline, our community staff and you will ask any NGO working in the field and you will know that people are asking these questions. There is a lot of despair, a lot of anxiety about what will happen. People have not got some cancer patients, some dialysis patients. Children have not got their inoculations on time vaccinations. So what will happen? They all are very anxious and everybody wants this and we really do not have any answer because we do not get any, as you said, we only get to know at least three or four days or maximum one week kind of a time limit. We have to hear from our government what is the long term plan that they are thinking? What are the things, even if that red orange green zone, what will happen to actually to kind of so that people start moving? How that will be adjusted? How that will be allowed? People have these questions. The first thing I think are rations and cash. Because as NGOs, we are not in a position to disperse any cash that only our government can do. State government, central government, they all need to pitch in. Rations and other stuff are trying to do something. But cash, people need cash, people need medicines. Now, I am also part of health movement and when I was talking to my comrades in health movements, they told me that it will not be advisable to distribute medicine at all. Because it's risky how people will take, whether that dosage was right, whether that drug was right. But when you see people are having fever for days, cough and cold for days, they are also anxious whether that is corona or not. So, there are no answers. Women are the caregivers of all these women.
