This is the state of the word. My name is Matt Mollick. I'm a co-founder of WordPress. Nine years ago now, co-founder of WordPress with a fellow named Mike Little over in England. And I've been doing this ever since. If you had asked me nine years ago, could I have ever predicted that we would all be in a room like this today? Not in a million years. In fact, in 2006, there was just one word camp. That was the first ever word camp, and it was right here in San Francisco. Not here in this venue. We weren't that fancy yet. We were over at the Swedish American Music Hall. You guys know that spot? I see those San Francisco people in the audience. And it was planned with about three weeks' notice. You can believe that. Last year, there were 52 word camps, about one per week, all over the world. This year, there have been 31 so far. You like the WC there? With over 10,000 attendees. And that's just so far this year. There are 44 more scheduled or being planned. So we'll come out of this year, recording the plan with 75 word camps, and about double the number of attendees. So huge, huge, huge growth, especially in the word camp phenomenon, which I'm very proud of, very happy about. And like I said, nine years doing WordPress. This is the sixth time I've stood in front of you guys to talk about the state of the word. But probably the first time, and the time I'm most excited and comfortable to present some of the things that have been going on. I read this book earlier in the year, had nothing to do with technology. It was called Mindless Eating. Does anyone read this book? Is that a curiosity? Handful over there? It was funny. So it's not actually a book about food as much, although that's all it talks about the entire time. It's really a book about people and the human condition and human behaviors. I love food because it's part of sort of, it's intrinsic to the human experience, right? It brings us all together. But what Brian talks about in the book that really struck me was something called the Mindless Margin. It's also not a diet book. But what he does talk about is that most people who overeat, don't overeat by a ton. They overeat by about 100 calories per day. We're talking about a cookie here, like one sixth of a Snickers bar. But 100 calories per day over the course of a year adds up to 10 pounds. And cumulatively, over the course of many years, that can add up to a lot. On the other end, less than 100 calories a day is below the threshold of what most people even notice, but can work the other way, losing 10 pounds per year. Of course, there's a lot more to it. But I thought of this when I asked around. These are some of the people I reached out to asking in preparation for this about a month ago sort of what have been the things that have most excited you around WordPress in the past year? What are you most proud of? What are the things that you think are making the biggest differences in people's lives? And what came back wasn't the big headline things. It was a lot of the little things. And it really struck me because it's very true that we're not... We're a product of our habits. We're a product of the things we do every single day. And you can see it at WordCamps.  I mean, that sort of little bit accumulates into a lot going on. And actually where people said the most was around.org. And I wanted to highlight some of these to start with because we haven't talked about this a ton. But there's been some very cool improvements to WordPress.org over the past year. The first and one of the ones I'm most proud of is actually plug-in headers. So this is kind of what plugins used to look like a year ago. In fact, this is better than they looked like because this includes some of the design improvements for the design with the download buttons and everything. But we just added the very simple ability for people to put headers at the top of their plugins. Just the idea... I mean, we've had this functionality in WordPress for how long? Four years? Custom headers? Five years? Now, but just a little bit of that design aspect, going on WordPress.org spruced it up. It allowed people to make their plugins their own. We added some smaller things, like favorites. You can now, if you're logged in, create a bookmark list of your favorite plugins. And we're even talking about making those available within a dashboard. So let's say you're starting a new blog. You can go directly and say, show me my 10 favorite plugins. Install them all at once. That'd be pretty cool, right? But the highest impact change of all the things we did, you could blink and you would miss it. It was this. See, we had a little thing to the support side, on the sidebar of the plugin page that just showed, well, we did a few things. We made it easier to create form threads from the plugin pages and for those to be tied to the plugin itself. We added, as a tab at the top, a support tab that showed sort of like a little... like each plugin had its own little form. And then we put this in the sidebar, showing how many threads there have been in the past two months and how many of them have been resolved. This resulted in a huge, huge change. In fact, in the past three months, we launched this in May, in the past three months since this has happened, there have been more form topics resolved, more support threads resolved in the WordPress.org form than the entire year previous. This is not... It's not one huge thing. It's not like one person went in there and answered tens of thousands of things. It's thousands of plugin authors becoming more active and more engaged with each of their plugins, which is making a huge difference to you guys, the users of all these. So, very excited about that. Even though it's not, it's not even something you guys are going to clap for. That's such a little thing. But it is the little things. Thank you. WordPress is a result of a thousand of these little details that I think really make it what it is. Another thing people talked about a lot was unit tests. I chose a special picture for this one. The idea, we now have over 6,000 assertions. Do you guys know what unit tests are? You see some heads shaking. Do you want to know? Basically, the idea is that you take a piece of code and you say, if I give you this, I expect this. And then every time you make a change, the code base, you say, hey, here's what I gave you. Do you still have the correct answer? It's like testing the code over and over again. And if the answer changes, you're like, huh, maybe there's something wrong there. Quick aside, might get a water? And then the final thing that people talked about being proud of in the past year of WordPress doing was actually the same we did on SOPA. For those of you who saw this, there was some legislation coming up in the United States. Thank you. That had implications for freedom of speech online, particularly for service providers. And thousands of thousands of sites, including WordPress, Wikipedia, thousands of sites on WordPress.com, blocked out in protest. And the legislation was reversed and they went running with their tails between their legs. It was incredible. I've been to Washington a few times since this happened and it comes up every single time. Politicians are used to people, you know, writing letters or doing the phone calls that they ignored or just everything. They were not prepared for what happens. And so I think it's pretty exciting that the Internet was able to come together. And there's been a lot of good stuff after this of Internet people coming together. But moving forward, I think there's still a lot to do on WordPress.org. For example, in the plugin directory, I want to make it more Amazon-like. Right now, plugin ratings are five stars, but you're kind of just, like, squinting at that last star to see what the rating is between four and five. You know how it is? Like, most things are between four and five. That's the really terrible. So we're going to make that more obvious. And like Amazon has, you know, show how many stars there have been at the different levels. Let you click on that and see perhaps reviews of people from those different levels. Make it easier for plugin authors to respond to those reviews. So let's say someone says one star. It doesn't work on my blog. What if that one star can be turned to a five star by just, like, a single change or a single, I think that feedback mechanism is really important. Are there plugin authors in the audience here?  Whew, lots. Would you do that? Yeah. Well, so working on that. And then actually most importantly is taking everything that we've done, and this is important for across WordPress. The plugins are themed and bringing it to our international communities. I'm going to talk a little bit more about international coming up. But international is where the bulk of the growth is coming and downloads and everything else is associated with WordPress right now. But we haven't been sent on our laurels for Core. And Core, there's been lots of fun changes, including some of the things I talked about last year. Anyone remember what NUC stands for? Opposite of sucks? New user experience. Around the new user experience in Core, we have this new welcome screen. When you upgrade, you get sort of notes about everything that's new there. Some of you probably have seen these, the tool tips. Especially great for new users to introduce features or to just sort of show them around. Added the ability to embed tweets in WordPress, which a lot of people have been having some fun with. And then media uploads. This is a big topic from last year. You can now drag and drop uploads into the thing. You can drag and drop 100 things or one thing. I got so used to this, I forgot this happens in the past year. Like, did we always do that? No! And then finally, one of the coolest ones is actually the customizer. So the idea that you can edit your blog while looking at it and sort of this interactive front-end editing that I think you'll see a lot more of in the coming year. This resulted in, we got about 44 million downloads of the past year, several per seconds, which brought us to a total of 145 since WordPress started. So about a third of our downloads were within the past year. The things are still growing really, really fast. So, good job. Thank you for clicking that button over and over again. And also, the downloads don't actually count when click install is coming from web host or when click upgrades coming from web host. So this number, I think, is actually, I expected to actually go down over the next year or two simply because more and more WordPress users are going to be on that sort of auto-upgrade system. So we'll actually probably should start working with web host to figure out a way to count those better. So what's next? You guys want to see some of 3.5? Well, there's nothing to see yet. If it was ready, we'd release it. Come on. But I can't show you some previews, including one thing that is very, very close to being ready and that you'll be able to use soon. That's the 2012 theme. None of you have seen this yet. Oh, some of you have seen this. It's open source. Basically, the idea, we now have a new default theme for WordPress along our, it's our third annual default theme. So we've been keeping up almost with doing a new theme every year. And if you want to hear more about this, Drew, Drew, are you in the audience? Woo-hoo. Everyone say hi to Drew. You should stand up. I know that. Okay, now you really see Drew. Drew was part of the team that did this. And if you love it, he's going to be talking about it extensively. Everything he did to design and the process and everything about it later this afternoon at 3.40? Yeah. So check that out. 3.5, we're going to have full retina supports. You might notice that you probably see me at previous work camps. I had a laptop that had this special W that glowed instead of the Apple. It was pretty cool. I love the retina laptop so much. I've given up that W laptop. So we got the big sticker there. There's a big sticker. It's amazing.  One, two, so actually about 10% of the audience that looks like, that's impressive. That's above the general population. But it's going to be like, you know, at the first work camp, we asked about mobile phones and half the people at Nokia's. You know, a couple of years from now, the vast majority of us are going to be in retina or high DPI displays, and it is just a completely different experience. If you're a developer, I'd recommend it as an investment. And this is actually not just the best laptop, but the best computer I've ever owned. And I used to be that guy like buying all the parts and putting the computers together. I like this even better. Then we're working on some of the same things that we talked about before. Coming back, continuing iterations on them, including NUCs. These are some wireframes around things we're thinking about with a new welcome screen, perhaps even making it permanent, because we found in tests that people are using the welcome screen, not just when they're new to WordPress, but they're using it as like a full navigation. We're talking about media. So these are, again, wireframes. So nothing there yet. But the idea that you could upload multiple images simultaneously and select images to be in a gallery. So galleries don't just have to be the images that are attached to the post. It's actually possible today, but there's no UI to it. There's lots and lots of exciting stuff happening here. Actually, if you wanted to follow along with both of those, they're currently being discussed on the make.wordpress.org slash UI, make.wordpress.UI blog. But there's a saying in software, because you can have three things. You can have features. It can be stable and secure, and it can be on time. Pick two. We pick two. We're, of course, going to keep our commitment to being secure, stable, and bug-free release. People have gotten very used to upgrades of WordPress being things they don't even think about. Hosts are starting to do them automatically without even asking you. I love that. So we need to maintain that. And we've said that 3.5 is going to be available on December 5th. Mason and Coop are leading 3.5, and they've committed to that, and I 100% believe it's going to happen. So that means that if we need to, we're going to cut features. But if you are excited about what you've seen, I would like to introduce you to a new section of WordPress.org, which is the Get Involved tab. You've visited WordPress in the past few days. You've seen this. And basically, the idea is it's a new top-level navigation item that takes you to all those make blogs. You probably didn't even know some of them existed. There's a blog dedicated to plugins. There's a blog dedicated to accessibility. I could see one dedicated to education in the future. Basically, all the subtopics of WordPress that lots of people are working on, this is our new collaboration space. And it's been there, but it's been somewhat of a silo. It's been kind of set aside from the rest of WordPress. So now we've unified the navigation to bring it together. In fact, under the core part of it, Make WordPress Core, is this new thing called the Core Contributor Handbook. Has anyone taken a look at this yet? It's actually going to be a big focus of the Dev Day tomorrow. It's going to be a lot of hacking on the Handbook, which I love that at Developer Day, we're going to be working on words as opposed to WordPress. That's actually pretty exciting, because it's really important to get people involved. The idea is that this will be a field guide to step-by-step everything you need to know to be one of the people that I'm about to talk about on stage. We have a lot of new folks involved with WordPress over the past year, and I'd like to take this moment to highlight them. Save your applause to the end, because there's a few of them, but let's all thank John Cave, Helen, Christy Burka, Sergei Berke-Beryokov, sorry, Sergei, Dominic Shilling, Aaron Campbell, and the recent rock stars, Max Cutler, Kurt Payne, Amy Hendricks, Marco Hengen, George Stephanus, Stas Suscove, Chelsea Otacon, and John Blackburn. Round of applause for the new distributor. If these guys can do it, any of you can. It is easier than ever to get involved with WordPress, and so I highly encourage of you if you've ever thought about it. I actually tell people it's the best way in the world to learn some of these things as well. You can't walk up to Google and say, hey, do you mind if I like hang out with your top engineers and maybe exchange comments on my code? But if you submit a patch to track, that's exactly what happens. Some of the best PHP developers in the world are going to look at your code and give you feedback and tell you what they think and tweak it with you, and you'll be able to work alongside them. And outside of open source, there's really not any other opportunities like that. So definitely take advantage of it. I'd like to loop back. This year, last year, I stood on stage like this and made some predictions. And you guys, in saying what you'd like me to talk about, have repeatedly said you want those predictions to be reviewed. Thanks. It's way easier making them than doing them. But so, we talked about three major things last year. That was creating parity between WordPress.com and .org. Mar... Maraging? What's the word? Marrying. Yes. Maraging the reading and writing experience. And then mobile. So I want to cover each of those. So feature parity between .com and .org. Basically, this is the idea that there's features that are really important to everyday engagement with WordPress, particularly integration with social networks like Twitter or Facebook that aren't doable within the shared hosting model that WordPress normally works in. Or when they are doable, it's tricky. So what we started doing was creating a plugin called Jetpack that brings all those features that we already do on WordPress.com to .org. Because you all have it. Who has had a friend who's ever been confused about the difference between .com and .org? Who's that a family member? A spouse that's ever been confused. You can't learn this by house most of it and it is confusing. And there shouldn't be a trade-off. You shouldn't be a second class citizen on either of them. This has been going very well. In fact, the numbers I want to talk about is Jetpack got to a million downloads in its first 13 months. Over the past four months, it doubled that. So the adoption of this is going really, really accelerating and a lot more of the features are coming to it. There's the four horsemen I talked about. Subscriptions. Email subscriptions. Post my email. Publicize and stats. There's the four big things that we get people when they're moving from .com to .org. Say they really want. We've got two of them now. We're going to have the last two by the end of the year. So I'm very excited about that. Second thing is reading and writing. Better reading and consumption. Basically the idea that when you write or to get people to blog more, they should read more. So two things that we did and this is also being experimented with on WordPress.com is we created this very, very simple posting interface. That's one tab away from reading. The idea that when you get a new blog, this is where it sends you next. It says, what are you interested in? What do you like to read? And then there's a reader that you can read either on mobile or the desktop that shows you all the latest and greatest stuff. And actually coming to the iPad soon, but I'll talk about that in a minute. This has been huge. We've had over 350 million blog posts consumed through this interface since it launched. And the stats we're getting back from it is when people load this, they're far more likely to interact. They're far more likely to like a post or re-blog it or create a blog post from this. We all know this because this is how every other social thing in the world works, right? When you load the homepage of Twitter, what does it show you? It shows you all the tweets. It doesn't just show you that one box and nothing else to do. When you load the homepage of Facebook, when you load the homepage of any of these, they show you what else is going on the network. And I think there needs to be a place that emphasizes blogging for this because Facebook and Twitter, well, Facebook particularly tries to keep you within its garden, right? It penalizes links going to other places or they want you to go to those news things that tell all your friends what you're reading. And then Twitter is also going different directions. So I think it's important to be something that emphasizes longer form content, the heart and soul of what blogs are. And that's what this is. And then finally, the thing we talked about was mobile. You guys remember this slide? It's kind of funny because two of those platforms aren't around anymore. But mobile has been going super duper well. We actually just passed, just a few weeks ago, five million downloads of the mobile apps. So a round of applause for the mobile team. I think that's amazing. And I'd actually like to give you a preview of what is coming on the iOS app. Never, literally never before seen. Unless you like downloaded and compiled the iOS app. Moving to more of a panel's interface for this. So basically the idea that there'll be a slide over that can bring, and if you notice this is starting to look a lot more like the core WordPress admin menu, that brings everything that's going on to your blog. You can write at post, swipe to moderate. If you guys haven't noticed this yet, it's really nice when you're viewing your comments. You can swipe and see everything. And basically just completely revamping the interface to make it a lot better. And then most importantly, all this is coming to iPad. So look at that. Isn't that a beautiful cat? But the interface has been 100% redone to take advantage of the iPad and touch gestures. The idea that kind of like the Twitter for iPad app that you can just slide around everything that's going on and post native to tablets. I think that tablets are super-duper important. The writing is on the wall. Ten years from now, there will be a content management system and a blogging tool that is tablet native that the majority of users use it on a tablet and that works as beautifully or better on a tablet than it does on a desktop. Whether that's us or not is going to depend on how much attention we pay to these new platforms because I think it is true that the majority of the way people interact with the web is going to be through phones and tablets. And so this is actually a challenge to you guys. There hasn't been a ton of community involvement with the mobile app stuff so far even though they're all open source, they all have tracks, they all have logs and everything's out there. I encourage you, if you're fascinated about this, also a really good way to learn how to develop for mobile platform, get involved with this because more and more as a percentage of WordPress users are going to be using WordPress through this as opposed to our desktop interface. Cool. Is there anyone who does any mobile development here? Just out of curiosity? Yeah, that's actually we had maybe 10 people raise their hand in a room of 700. So that's about where it is right now. If you're a web developer, I would highly encourage you to start working on mobile because a menu item, is it a menu item in the Get Involved? It should be. Make it so. I bet by the end of this talk... Auto. There'll be a menu item there. Well, enough about us. Let's talk about you guys. We did the survey again this year. Remember last year was actually a big part of the talk we did the first ever survey of WordPress users and said, what is going on? This year, we actually had 27,000 responses up from 20,000 in the past year. So it's actually a lot of people. You know those polls that you see in the news? Like, so-and-so has this many approval rating. They usually talk to 1,000 people. Tops. So we got 27,000. Granted, it might be a sampling bias. But from literally all over the world, we had 158 countries as part of this and going back to international, two-thirds of the responses came from outside the U.S., which I thought was really cool. We had responses from Cayman Islands, a very nice tropical place to do WordPress. Seychelles? Have they been outside? Yeah? Has anyone been there? No one? Oh, nice. How was it? Did you take the survey from there? And most interestingly, and I don't know how I feel about this, but we had one response from North Korea. Or, as it's known, the Democratic Republic of North Korea. So I guess they're interested in democratizing publishing there as well. This person did not leave an email with their survey response. It might have been like a proxies boob or something just messing with us, but I thought that was pretty funny. But here are the results. Remember that WordPress as a CMS thing? Guess what? It's still going. We went up the 66% of respondents who said they were using WordPress just as a CMS, not even as a blog. So obviously, that is a number that is growing and will continue to go up. In fact, it's a number I'm probably not even going to talk about next year, because it's just such part. It's just so ubiquitous. The number of people not using WordPress as a CMS is going to be more interesting than the number that are. We'll ask those people to raise their hands next year. But even, I also think we need to shift this question a little bit, because, for example, my blog, ma.tt, everyone check it out, I would say that I use WordPress as a CMS, but if you visit it, it really looks more like a blog, and most people will call it a blog. But I consider it a CMS because I'm managing pages, I'm doing galleries, and doing other fun stuff on it. So I'd actually like to shift this question a little bit to really get an idea of not just what developers are doing, but actually what kind of sites people are creating. So we'll try that next year. But something new we did ask this year is client types. So of the developers that answered, who are they working for? And we have this crazy overlapping Venn diagram to illustrate that. So the moon on the right is actually the big blue thing is small business individuals. The purple and pink thing is nonprofit government and education. That is huge. That's way larger than I would have bet. And then the white thing, you see on the top right, there's a white thing, is large businesses and enterprises. And they overlap. There was a lot of overlap between them because people could choose multiple ones. But getting this data allowed us to extract some interesting secondary results from it of what people are doing. And also some pretty interesting stories who some people I want to highlight now. First up, I love his hair. This is Jeremy Ferguson from the Accolation Sustainable Agriculture Project. They're using post types and customizations to present farm-to-school lesson plans, sharing all over the country. Albert Yaa Upoku from Ghana is doing hop-a-wed solutions. They've created over 50 websites for clients in government and education, 48 of them with work bus. We didn't ask about the other two. But Albert, if you're watching, Katya Kitahari doing the hack lab down in Brazil. They've also done over 50 websites, mostly for businesses and governments. And this is actually the company that she built doing it. And I don't know who the guy is third on the right, but 1,000 people just saw you with your eyes closed. Take a better picture next time. We'll put you on stage again. Joss Ketzner from Scottsdale Convention and Visitors Bureau for Arizona. Probably not the easiest job in the world. They started using it in 2008 and they've completely revamped their entire website on WordPress and they say it's attracting more people to Scottsdale or Arizona. Eric Juden from Maryville University. They changed all their staff and student blogs to WordPress. Jason Kemp from New Zealand, Auckland, New Zealand. Over 250 websites in New Zealand and one in Senegal, West Africa for mostly education in private sectors. So as you can see, the non-profit, to me the most exciting thing was the non-profit government and education use. Particularly governments. Again, I've said I've been spending a lot of time in Washington. It pains me as a taxpayer when you see some of these websites that they spend millions and millions of dollars on and they look pretty crappy.  You work in government? You look at them a lot. Oh, that's even worse. What'd you do? Wrong. No, I'm kidding. It's a travesty and we know that for a couple thousand dollars you can build an amazing, beautiful WordPress website. In fact, we know exactly how many thousands of dollars because we got it from the survey. So on average, the sort of small business website, we said the average response is about $2,500 to build a site. On the non-profit side, government and education, people responded it was about $2,000 to build a site. So thank you for discounting your rates for non-profits. And then on the large business and enterprise, people said it was on average about $4,200 to do a site. Again, these are the averages or the medians or the modes. Medians. There you go. And if you don't know the difference between those, you should go back to middle school. I should go back to middle school. But the most exciting number we got out of the survey this year was actually the number of people who are either fully making their living from WordPress or making a good chunk of income from it. So last year, that number was 13,000 of the survey respondents. This year, it's 20,000, which increased both as a percentage and an absolute number. So we have 20,000 people we talked about or the 27,000 who took the survey who are making money from WordPress. That's incredible. How many people here are making their living or money from WordPress? Is that how you justify the $20 ticket? It's expensive. That's really exciting. That was, I mean, people watching live stream didn't see that, but that was like 90% of the audience. The ecosystem building around WordPress is incredibly powerful. And I think one of the hardest things for our competitors to match because we're not just one company making a lot of money off this. We're thousands and thousands of small businesses and companies and web hosts and media organizations building and profiting from WordPress and all putting a little bit back in the pot. And, you know, it's almost the opposite of the tragedy of the commons. It's the wealth of the commons. And I love when that works. So we looked at some sites. I wanted to also show sort of an example of other things that WordPress can do because every year I think it's interesting to sort of take a step back and see how are people actually using WordPress? So these are some new sites that we've never talked about before. Subliminal projects, which includes art from Banksy. Everyone else is using WordPress. Cool LA gallery space. This is the many faces of. So that's hardthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and they do this for lots of different people that works of art in and of themselves. We have musicians using it. In addition to Jay-Z, we've moved on to Bruce. Bruce. Come on guys. You could have better than that. The Rolling Stones. That's a racy picture there. We have lots of events going on including 2012 Democratic National Convention. Ted X is around the world. Bonnebrew. I thought this was really cool. Anyone go to Bonnebrew this year? No one went to Bonnebrew. Wow. Well, they use WordPress. Just log in, add yourself. And then actually one of the more probably journalistically important events this year was the healthcare decision coming out of the Supreme Court. I know if maybe you follow this story, sure. But the major media got it wrong when it first came out and there was a blog called the SCOTUS blog that sort of did a deeper analysis of it and really dug into the number or to the verdict and was right before the media was. That is amazing. Probably that blog had like this traffic before then. This traffic on that day. It probably won't have like this traffic after that. But that's the beauty of blogging, right? It brings the original sources. It brings the people who are most familiar with any given topic, the primary sources to the story. And we saw that happen over and over and over this year. And I think we're going to see more and more of that. That's pretty exciting. We saw causes. Charity water, one that I haven't been personally involved in a big supporter of. They're bringing clean water to, I think, now hundreds of thousands of people across the world. Sama source, bringing work to people around the world. We have the IFMR, which is this is actually an Indian nonprofit. Free speech debate. Magazines, including VDV. We got the LeBron. Oh, sorry. This is sports. Sorry about that. LeBron James, representing the United States and the Olympics right now. King James. And One Blade magazine are cool examples that could check out of word presses going on. By the way, after these, when we post it, we'll have links to all these. So if you want to check them out. And then finally, food dining and fashion. Three of my favorite things in the world. We have people from Alabama to, this is actually in France. And then finally, the Jersey, wait. I can't, threefffashions.com doing it. But we've seen a lot of these sites before because they're using word presses as CMS. And as we know, the vast majority of everyone who knows what they're doing with word presses is using it as a CMS. But what's most exciting is people using it from apps and apps. So I'd like to show some of those. Because the growth of word press has been largely a transition from being a blogging platform, which is how we started and sort of our original heart and soul. To being a CMS, call that the second phase of word press. So the first four years were all about blogging.  And in my opinion, the next four years are going to be about word press being an app engine. Being sort of a framework that's used for applications that may not even look like a blog or a website, but look like something else entirely. Like a map for Husker bars. Or this one, which is actually pretty cool from the University of Washington. So what they've done is every single building there is a custom post type. And when you click it, you can filter them through categories, taxonomies. You can click on them and get more information. Here's another example of a similar thing going on. This is from Katia down in Brazil. These people are using word press in a way that doesn't look like a blog at all. It looks more like Google Maps. Or this one's actually really beautiful, by the way. Good job, Katia. There's this... Oh, the second thing I want to talk about is this happening for second screen experiences. So do you have guys like Breaking Bad or Mad Men? So a few. Have you ever done the thing where they'll ask you while you're watching it, like what do you think of what so and so did? You think Walter should shoot the guy? They have these second screen experiences that are basically different points during the show. They do have a second screen is that apparently most Americans now when they watch a TV, that's not enough, they have a second device. They're also watching. Often the iPad or a mobile phone. And the idea that you can kind of do both at the same time is revolutionizing TV. Remember Interactive TV? Bill Gates in like the early 90s, talking about that. It's happening and it's partially powered by word press. They're using scheduled post and custom post types to have these things being pushed out. Pull Daddy to do the surveys. It's pretty exciting. We can jump through this. But how this all comes to an end is that last year when we got on stage we had about 14% the top million websites using word press. Today it's 16.7%. And that's you guys. I think it's 100% of this room, right? Any spies? But although we've been successful, there are still lots of challenges ahead. And I think that we should not become... One of my favorite books is called The Halo Effect. And one of my favorite quotes from it is it says, nothing recedes quite like success. The more successful you are, the harder you need to work and the more that you need to push to continue to grow. And so I want to talk about some of the things that I don't think we're doing well yet in the word press world. And I think that we need to pay special attention to the next year. One is media. So there are some amazing things happening around the uploads coming in 3.5. And I'm actually pretty excited about this. But I think that we really need to just stop being scared of it and look at media as a first class citizen within WordPress. Galleries, zooming in on photos, commenting on photos, tagging things. Face tagging is kind of not a small deal. You'll notice that Facebook has, I think, more photos than every other photo site combined in history with that one simple feature. We need to think about these things. So whoever wants to see better media in WordPress say, I. All right, it's unanimous. Whoever doesn't say nay. Okay, unanimous. I think we need to be careful about having timely releases. So just like I said, we're committing to 3.5 on December 5th. I think that going forward, we need to continue to be vigilant because it's so easy, because especially since we're not a commercial project or a nonprofit community, open source project, it's easy to want to set that one more thing into a release. And that one more thing turns into another thing. It turns into another thing. And through no faults. And then it takes longer than we thought. And we can end up a month or two or three behind. Our average for the past couple of years has been closer to two releases per year than three releases. And I'd like to get us back to doing three releases per year. On the UI side, I think we need to do a lot more testing. Yeah. Amen. Just the idea that it's been a little while since we really looked at some of the fundamental things going on in WordPress. Dave Martin is a new contributor to the UI group. When he started working on it, I didn't even think that the welcome screen was something that we should look at. I had completely forgotten it. Why? I know how to use WordPress. I haven't looked at the welcome screen in a little while. As many of you probably have not. But there's some tests. And he actually did something very cool where he did user tests that sort of did screen captures and audio of people actually using WordPress for the first time and going through the thing. And all those videos are online. You can watch them on the Make UI blog. It is... Well, I recommend having a drink nearby. It's at one point one of the most exciting things and one of the most painful things you can watch. Just someone...  Don't go to the house alone. You're like, the button's right there. Just click on it. Please. But it's not them. It's us. Right? We need to put the button in the right place. We need to build the fence around the house so that axe murderers don't get in. Whatever it is, we can fix these things. But I think we need to have a regimen of testing every single thing that we put into WordPress. Not... I'm not saying that we need to A-B test or multivariant every single thing. I just think that we should watch more regular users using these things for the first time. Something I'm very excited about in addition to the Get Involved coming up towards the end of the year is the Community Summit. Is anyone here attending the Community Summit? Or... Nice. So basically the idea of bringing people not just in the core but around all the areas of WordPress, around translations, internationalization, the forums, the documentation, all the things that make WordPress that you guys said in the survey is what you appreciate most around WordPress.org. Together. And talk about things in a more holistic way because previously we've done summits for the core developers and the core team but I think it's very important for us to start thinking about all parts of WordPress, particularly the international side. There are currently not enough international contributors to WordPress. We have an imbalance where two-thirds of the survey respondents are coming from international but it's a much lower ratio for people that are active in core development. So I really want over the next year to get more folks whose native language is not English and who use WordPress primarily in different language as part of the core team because I think that'll really help us clean up the international sides of it. We need to keep iterating quickly on things. This is not just shipping a version one but shipping a 1.1, a 1.2, a 1.3, coming back to the things that we've already done and making them better. Updates, updates, updates. Martian, Martian, Martian. I want a world... You know what I'm most jealous of? What software I'm most jealous of in the world? Who can guess? Chrome. You guys knew it. I used to be jealous of Firefox because they had the extension manager and you could click a button and they would all update and then Chrome came and just like blew it all away. They said, we're not even going to tell you what version you're running. You're just going to be on Chrome and it's going to update in the background all the time and it's going to get better and faster and more secure and guess what? All of your extensions are going to do the same thing and you're never going to think about is this extension compatible with this version of whatever? It just will all work. And who would like that experience in WordPress? It's hard. But I think we can do it and the reason we should do it is not because it's easy but because it's hard. We need to figure out plugin compatibility a lot better. We need to know how plugins work with each other and how they work with WordPress and we need to do that before a release comes out. We need to shift it to where you don't think about WordPress 3.5, 3.6, 3.7. I love five years from now. We're just saying you're running WordPress August 5th. Or I guess that's tomorrow. So August 4th.  We work with hosts and actually a lot of hosts including dream hosts, blue hosts, GoDaddy are shifting to a model where they actually do opt-out upgrades as opposed to opt-in or manual upgrades. And this is probably going to be the biggest shift that's going to happen for WordPress this year. So basically the idea that if you did a one-click install of WordPress it will just keep your site up to date constantly unless you specifically click some big scary buttons and say I'm going to open the door or let the axe murderer in and not update my WordPress. And that is going to be huge. We can't, because of the technicalities it's tricky to do that in core. It's tricky to have core update itself but the hosts have sort of the root level file system access to really make it wonderful. I'm excited about that. I think we need to keep striving for simplicity but be careful about becoming simplistic. WordPress users are some of the best and brightest people in the world. I'm not just saying that because some of you are here. We shouldn't dumb down WordPress to try to appeal to a larger audience. I see startups, I see other platforms with that over and over and over again. I think we need to embrace the intelligence of our users and their ability to do powerful things while at the same time taking them on that ramp. So basically the idea that we don't need to dumb down WordPress and we don't even need to you know hide features but what we do need to do is sort of give you those beginner levels. Last year we had some speakers on games. This year we have speakers on habits near talk this morning. I think the key here is that when you start up, you know, I'm old, super Mario. It doesn't put you on the boss level at the very first time but in WordPress historically we dump you on the dashboard you know when you first start using it and there are in addition to the welcome screen there's about a hundred other things you can click on that page. It's like the boss monster. So we need to hold back the WordPress


beatles weeping down upon the underworld to smash ganglin comes the mysterious all-powerful character who is a problem to the police but a crusader for law in reality Dan Garrett a rookie patrolman loved by everyone but suspected by none of being the blue beetle as the blue beetle he hides behind a strange mask and a suit of intendable blue chain armor flexible but stronger than steel phase episode of the fox feature the blue beetle is entitled sabotage incorporated throughout the country foreign spies and saboteurs are busy trying to prevent the shipment of war munitions to countries with whom their native country is at war near York City is located explosives incorporated one of the largest manufacturers of munitions in the country every night trainloads of munitions leave their factory for some secret destination as our story opens officer managan and patrolman Dan Garrett who is really the blue beetle are investigating a mysterious telephone call from Wentworth B. Charles president of explosives incorporated who lives at the Monaco apartment well here we are in a charged apartment push to the button body answer let's break in the dark now we'd better call the superintendent he'll have a past key something wrong officer who are you I'm the superintendent of this building oh well we got a mysterious telephone called from mr. Charles but she didn't finish it was of such a nature that we felt it necessary to make an investigation he doesn't answer his bell or our knocking well I have a past key here I'll unlock the door something holding the door shut come on and we'll break it in no no wait I'll telephone the owner of the apartment house he'll know we can't wait for that just come on Danny let's break in the door all right here we go all right there's nobody here what can the bedroom there okay I have a look I hope nothing happened to mr. Charles he's one of our best penance hey Danny look here's mr. charge any what is it Mike dead I think so look there over his heart a wound yeah break through his pajamas a 22 bullets I bet huh no it's a stab wound that's mr. Charles all right is he dead yes who could have done it that's what the police would like to know that's what we have to find out I don't see any weapon but for a nice pick or a thin stiletto okay I'll have a look around the apartment hadn't I better telephone the owner of the building not yet and don't leave the apartment yes but whose apartment adjoined this on the bedroom side professor of Vladimir Dennis cubes what's his business I believe he lectures on anthropology as he live alone he has a male secretary who lives with him I believe who lives on the other side next to the living room well that apartment is vacant did mr. Charles live alone yes apparently mr. Charles was killed while he was phoning the receiver is still off the hook there and his body is lying in front of a telephone table it looks that way I can't find any sign of a dagger or ice pick anywhere there's an electric ice box in the kitchen so I don't think mr. Charles would be needing an ice pick himself what about the windows there are locks any fire escape no it's a 14-story drop to the street on our sides how many floors above this superintendent 15 any other entrances to this apartment only a service door in the kitchen yeah I looked at that it's locked and border from the inside and there's no knob on the outside of the dog well Mike you better phone the coroner I'll just have a look around the apartment then I'd like to question the professor and his secretary maybe they can throw some light on this case good evening professor evening what can I do for you this officer would like to ask you some questions there's been some trouble next door and the police are interested in getting some information won't you come in please thanks what is it you would like to know officer I am sure I cannot be of any assistance to you hear any commotion or unusual noise tonight in Mr. Charles apartment all nothing in fact I've been so busy with my studies that I thought that I would have heard any noise coming from anywhere when I am doing my research work I concentrate very deeply do you have any children professor I am not mad at that gun there you use that in your research that belongs to my secretary he is off tonight he bought it for his little boy it is an air rifle hardly strong enough to what I mean it has the appearance of a real gun but it would be no good for hunting game other than small birds I assure you here have a look yes I can see you're right I presume a BB shot from this air rifle would hardly have enough force behind it to kill a man kill a man has someone been killed yes professor Mr. Charles your next door neighbor was murdered less than an hour ago you know Danny this case is very very puzzling very dark but the blue beat was going to solve the puzzle how I'm going to revisit the Charles apartment alone do a little private investigating Danny what do you think is back of this murder sabotage of some sort I'm positive it has something to do with a train of munitions and guns being shipped to Canada be careful Danny boy if your suspicions are correct you'll run into a ruthless gang of murderers I know that the blue beetle can handle them have you everything you need mm-hmm this blue beetle chain armor and mask my magic ray and spotlight are all I'll need tonight I'm traveling light because I've got to travel fast the blue beetle is going to solve a murder and strike a blow for humanity the body's been removed nothing else has been disturbed in the bedroom here that picture on the wall there facing a spot where Charles was sitting when he was killed it doesn't hang straight I'll have a look a hole in the wall back of the picture just large enough for a rifle barrel and to hear conversation now here here is the railroad map the munitions train will approach a bridge to Canada over the gorge along this track here yeah now our major plan is to blow up the bridge as the munitions train is passing over but if for some reason our men are unable to place the charge of explosives under the bridge our ultimate plan is to wreck the train and block the entrance in the entire road as well as destroy the munitions aboard the train well how will we know in advance which plan to follow I'm expecting a call any minute from our leaders at Rosno near the border then as soon as you get word I'll be on my way yes your job is to take care of any guards at the American side of the bridge yes I understand this will take care of them oh the air pistol it shoots glass pellets filled with suffocating gas yeah it makes very little noise we're very shot with it remains unconscious for a long long time oh boy now there are two planes tuned up and waiting out of the library a field you take one of them all right and you're sure no one suspects our plot positive positive I liquidated Charles before he could telephone the police what about money here here is a thousand dollars for expenses okay when the job is done there'll be plenty more where this came from good hello yes what yes yes we're ready at this end wait here's your car now just a minute I'll ask him well what about it Igor munitions trainees loading will pull up for Canada in 10 minutes hello Ronaldo Igor informs me that the train will pull out in 10 minutes yes all right everything is moving smoothly we'll be with you soon good bye what's that I can imagine what they're going to be yes the blue beetle and he's going to nip you have an ingenious method of entering Mr. Blue Beetle did you buy any chance fly to my window and just what do you want I overheard your whole plot from the next apartment and crawled along the ledge outside the window and he knows everything and I'm going to turn you over to the police all of you get away from that phone professor or I'll burn you with my magic ray oh no you won't blue beetle because you won't be able to put down that gun there that'll fix Mr. Blue Beetle let's get out of here the gas is making me sick and what about the blue beetle you tie him up and take him down to the freight yard and put him aboard the munition train the blue beetle will have a rude awakening some time in the early morning hours what will happen to the blue beetle now how soon will he recover from the effects of the suffocating gas can he save the shipment of munitions to Canada from destruction which plan will the saboteurs put into effect these questions will be answered in the next episode of the blue beetle a righted box feature appearing in mystery men comics magazine and the blue beetle magazine the blue beetle is on the air twice a week on this same station consult the broadcast schedule in your local newspapers and don't forget to listen in

By exercising this now, we show that we can go pretty much anywhere we need to, to deliver this sort of logistic supply. Again, to support both military and non-military missions.


Hi everyone, Joe Verjasky's casebrace.com coming at you with a half-case break of 2023, Bowman Inception Baseball. Pick your team at number five. Half-case from a fresh case. There's the fresh case right here. Big thanks to this group for making this break happen. No white socks on the checklist, so we didn't sell them. Oliver with last spot, Mojo Brew Crew. And if you've got cap 181, next chain, that means you won those spots in that filler. No cap. As the kids say these days, I think, that's how you say it. Good luck, everybody. That's a capstone baseball pack. Empty box, I think this box was on the right column right here, all right. So, we've got eight boxes on each side right there. I'm gonna use the die. One, two, three for the left side. Four, five, six for the right side. And it's five. One, two, three, four, five, six. And we'll save these for break six. All right, good luck, everybody. I like the box. The color of the box will look really sharp right here. Look at that. It's a nice look. It's ballman, so we're doing more prospecting here. A lot of fun stuff here, so good luck, everybody. I think the auto is, where's the auto? Right in the middle, so. Oh, we've got two autos in this one. How many autos do we get a box? Oh, two autos a box. So, there's one card on the bottom, then the two autos. Jackson Holiday. And we've got some numbered cards right here too. You can also see that some of these cards will have the initiation badge on there as well. And we've got Carson Williams for the Tampa Bay Rays. And behind, Brandon Maev for Eric and the Yankees is Dylan O'Rei, 384 out of 499. Have you seen three? Rex has seen three autos in here, all right? So that'd be nice. This will go to the Brew Crew, Last Pod Mojo, Oliver. And then we have Darniche Valdez, 25 out of 99. Cub's Shoresaw Prospect. Rex, tell us about Valdez here. What do you, what can you give us on him? 25 out of 99, Tyler Sandberg with the Cubs. And there's the Brandon Maev four out of 50 for Eric and the Yankees. All right, nice. First box, done. Honestly, don't know much bottom. It's not the, not the best analyst in the business for nothing, ladies and gentlemen. Got a redemption, I actually don't know what these guys are to be honest with you. But it's good to go prospecting on them with these cards. Some of the guys are familiar because we've seen like the Bowman and the Bowman Draft. Like Ronald's brother, Brian, Jezu de Paula. It's actually been playing really well in the spring. Hopefully he has a good minor league campaign. Might get a cup of coffee later this year. There's How You Leigh, 79 out of 99 for the Phillies. That will be for Christian. And then behind Yacin Morabelle is Brooks Lee, 162 out of 200. I think he's supposed to be one of the twins's top prospects, his name sounds familiar. Kevin with the twins and the redemption. Do you receive a inception autograph? Jumbo, dual relic, book car, book it. It's Luis Angel Acunha and Anthony Gutierrez. I need the checklist. Are they both Rangers? Or is a Luis Angel still standby? Beckett.com checklist. The Luis Angel and Anthony Gutierrez. They are both on the same team, nice. So that'll be for Tristan in Texas. There you go, nice one, Rangers. Yeah, let's go, Lakers. I like that they were able to beat the Bucks, a good team. If they could ever figure out how to beat the, they could never figure out how to beat the Kings or the Nuggets, and I think this is my next to have a chance in the playoffs. If they can, they gotta get in the playoffs first. There's Nathan Solis for your X, Brooks Lee, 75. Kevin M. Yeah, it looks like eighth overall pick. Nice, he's a nice prospect there. All right, Autos. We got Yoendry Vargas, 173 out of 200. Do not know much about this guy. I don't know if he was really playing a lot of spring games. Then we've got Chase Alotter, 26 out of 50. Gold for the Guardians, Ryan P. Oh, Rex, there's a numbered Ethan Solis. Sorry, I dropped this little guy here, but I think he's fine, 60 out of 99. I'm not sure how he's been doing in minor league action, though, between last year and a few out of the time this spring, but he's one of their top guys. Here's Chandler Simpson, 39 out of 50. Tampa Bay Rays, John for the Rays. Rays have got just a lot of prospects. They're always good at that. Junior Caminero got sent to the minors, but he might force his way back up sooner than we know it. All right. And then we've got Luis Lara, 274 out of 300 for Oliver and the Brew Crew. Laspod Mojo strikes again twice this time. 70% of the time, Laspod Mojo hits 100% of the time. Here's a Mike Romero, 75 out of 99 for the Red Sox. It's gonna go to Jonathan. And your autographs, good luck. We have, for the Padres, Nathan Martorella. Or Martorella, 31 out of 50. I wish the autographed cards also had, they're, you know, squeezing some space about stats or something. Anyway, there you go. Rex with the Padres. And behind Christian Santana is Sterling Thompson, 30 out of 250 for the Colorado Rockies. That's Eric Leal with the Rocks. Jorge Ruiz. And there's Emmanuel Bonilla, five out of 50. Blue Jays, Simon with the Blue Birds. There's his inception point. We've got a Carlos Jorge, 15 out of 50. Paul Kay with the Reds. Won that spot in the filler, congrats. And then we got Jorge Barrosa. One, no, 99 out of 399. That'll be for the Snake, Simon with the Dimebacks. He's a cold-hearted snake. All right, two more boxes to go. All right, we got Xavier Isaac, five out of 99 for Tampa Bay, John. Henry Bolt up top for the A's. And we got a Trey Lipscomb. 386 out of 399. That'll be for John and the Nats. The Natty, not the Cincinnati, but the Natty. Nats, 24 out of 99. That's a Marion Boyd. The Fightin' Fills, Christian with the Phillies. Final two autos, good luck, everybody. There's Camilo Diaz, nine out of 25 for Houston. What color match there? That's gonna be for Evan P. All right, final two autographs. Fingers crossed, good luck, everybody. We have Yoendry Vargas, 21 out of 25. Who's got my Dodgers? That's Francis with the Dodgers. Nice one. And the final autograph is gonna be Jared McKenzie, 329 out of 399 for the Nacionals. That's gonna be for John G. And DC. And there you see, we're done. Nice first half of the case, Bowman Inception, second half of the case in the store, Jazzy'scasewrakes.com. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next Bowman Inception break. Bye-bye.


Hello friends, so let us continue with our topic on quadratic equation and in this session I have picked up a topic where usually in standard textbooks we don't deal with such things. So the question here is we have been talking so far about roots of the equation and we have time and again said that there are at max two roots to a quadratic equation. Now in this session we are going to take up how exactly do we prove that there are only two roots to a quadratic equation and not more and we will take up our conventional method of contradiction. So we will try to attempt this proof by assuming that there are more than two roots of our quadratic equation. So I am saying let us say there are three roots three roots of equation ax square plus bx plus c equals 0, where a is not equal to 0, okay, three where a is not equal to 0 and the roots are and let us say let us say that the roots are alpha beta and gamma, okay, so three roots alpha beta and gamma. So hence if alpha beta gamma are the roots of the given equation then we can say if alpha beta gamma are roots of ax square plus bx plus c equals 0 then we will have what all the three should satisfy the equation so hence we can say alpha square a alpha square plus b beta sorry b alpha b alpha plus c will be equal to 0, right and similarly let us say this equation is equation number one and then similarly a beta square plus b beta plus c equals 0 let us say equation number two and a gamma square plus b gamma plus c equals 0 let us say this is equation number three, okay, so hence what will happen now let us do this these you know calculations so what I am doing is I am doing subtracting subtracting two from one so if I subtract the equation two from equation one in the LHS what will I get I will get a common alpha square minus beta square then b common alpha minus beta and then plus c minus c equals 0 so if you see if you subtract it you will get this a alpha square minus a beta square I have written simultaneously together and b alpha minus b beta is b alpha times sorry b times alpha minus beta and c minus c equals to 0 so what will happen this will be nothing but a alpha square minus beta square plus b alpha minus beta will be 0 now we have okay so when we are considering alpha beta and gamma are three roots then automatically alpha beta and gamma we should add one more thing here let us say that the roots are alpha beta and gamma and all are unique all are unique that means or we can say we can use the word distinct distinct means what does this mean distinct means alpha is not equal to beta is not equal to gamma this is what it means okay so hence alpha clearly since alpha minus beta is not equal to 0 why since alpha is not equal to beta therefore we can cancel one alpha minus beta so hence this expression is nothing but a alpha minus beta times alpha plus beta plus beta times alpha minus beta equals to 0 now since alpha minus beta is not equal to 0 I can cancel out this factor correct so hence what will you get you will get a alpha plus beta plus b is equal to 0 okay a alpha plus beta plus b equals to 0 right now let us say this is equation number 4 now I am doing this subtracting subtracting what do I subtract I subtract 3 from 2 so if you see if you subtract 3 from 2 you will get alpha beta square minus gamma square plus b times beta minus gamma is equal to 0 see we will get cancelled right and again since you can write since beta minus gamma is not equal to 0 so what will happen I can write a beta minus gamma times beta plus gamma a square minus b square form plus b beta minus gamma is equal to 0 why because beta square minus gamma square is nothing but beta minus gamma times beta plus gamma okay now again I can strike this off why because it's common common to the left hand side and the right hand side there is 0 so I can strike that off and now we can say a beta plus gamma plus b is equal to 0 this is equation number 5 okay so let us now do some mathematics on 4 and 5 so I am saying now subtracting again 5 from 4 what will you get you will get a alpha plus a beta plus b this is the left hand side of 4 minus then a beta plus gamma plus b must be equal to 0 this implies this implies what a alpha plus a beta plus b minus a beta minus a gamma minus b equals to 0 on simplification so if you see a beta and a beta will get cancelled and this b and this b will get cancelled so hence I am getting a alpha minus gamma is equal to 0 now a is not equal to 0 guys because that is what you know by definition of a quadratic equation we don't we can't say a 0 so hence definitely alpha minus beta will be equal to sorry not alpha minus beta alpha minus gamma from here what will you see you will see that alpha minus gamma is 0 that means alpha is equal to gamma okay so it you know it comes out that out of the three two are same out of the three two are same that means now the two the three roots to the equation where alpha beta gamma but but alpha and gamma alpha and gamma are same so hence so hence hence our assumption our assumption that there are three there are three roots of a quadratic quadratic equation is wrong is wrong is wrong right hence hence a quadratic equation can have equation can have only two roots now these roots could be real non real whichever way but maximum possible roots are only okay it cannot have three four five six anything else right only two roots this is how we proved that a quadratic equation a quadratic equation cannot have more than two roots


what's going on guys welcome back to another video so today we are going to be playing some type of game where Janice hits me okay it's gonna be a get to know me so I feel like we haven't done something like this in a long time I mean get to know me it's gonna be like oh damn it's called how well do you know me get to know me together for eight years I already know you that's why it's gonna be easy for me I don't know my brain is everywhere but anyway I have 15 questions 15 yeah cuz I feel like we're gonna go through it fast cuz low key I try to make it hard but you better know me bro you got a 15 you're smacking me a good 10 times I hope not you're supposed to know me bro okay but you're gonna go alright let's just get it started I already know this question is about to be stupid so alright how do I do this though do I put the powder in my hand first every question I get wrong put some powder in hand and have at it right I'm just gonna put the power no it's how you're so sure

That's on a hardware. Okay. It's blink of time. We have like a child. We're having chunky newsletters because there's so much stuff happening with Python with libraries and with the RP 2040. Number one big thing 300 libraries is community bundle plus release libraries from Adafruit that we support. We reached exactly 302, but like, you know, got a couple extra in 300, which rockin'. I mean, one of the things that I've seen people say about Circuit Python that they really like is that they don't have to worry about finding a driver for sensors, displays, e-inks, chips, whatever. We have the driver ready for you to go. It's tested. Even comes with example codes. So relish in that wonder. All right. I think there's a theme. Python turns 30. Yeah, three threes and zeros. Yeah, 30 years ago is the first release. We don't tweet it about it. And then they have a long release cycle and now we're on Python 3. So 10 years per major release. All right. We have the Circuit Python 2020 Roundup. You can read the roundup of all the Circuit Python responses received from the community. That's on our blog. If you want to see some of the PyCascades coverage, the talks. Videos are live. Going up and we'll continue this week. You can check that on YouTube. You can look at a review of the overview of Scott's Deep Dive. Jeffler stopped by and talked about the RP2040 PIO in Circuit Python Audio. We have a new email for newsletter submissions because there's a lot of stuff. You can email it to us, cpnews, at Adafrit.com. And you can also do any type of pull request or whatever in the GitHub repo. Here is a cat outside reminder. The cat is outside. The cat is inside. The cat is out. The cat is in. The cat is out. The cat is in. So as usual, more electronics for cats. All right. This is a USB-C plug tester. This uses Circuit Python. People love it. Keyboard capability of Circuit Python. So making little pranks with Pico's or making four by four key pads. It's a little bit like a neo-trellis keypad thing going on there. Using Circuit Python to make cool interfaces with Playdale. Capacitive Tap-Chem-Bet is going on there. And adding it to a keyboard. Messages. Using Circuit Python. More Pico stuff. People digging that. Yeah. What we're seeing is a lot of folks who want to make something quickly and use one of the 300 or more libraries. It's a good companion to Pico. Well, one thing that Circuit Python does, which is actually one of the first, you know, when we brought Dan on as part of the engineering team, Dan really was excited about adding HID support because he wanted to do accessibility projects where people create keyboard interfaces for their computer with like big buttons or switches or whatever. And for a friend of his. And so he came on and did HID. And now, of course, like so many people are using HID with Circuit Python. All right. Super Stonk. Back in the news. GameStop Stonk is back in the news today. So this would have been handy if you built it in the past. I think it went up to 100 today. It's a Matrix portal. Movie theaters. They're called meme stocks now. Yeah. So watch your meme stocks. Yeah. Okay. Here's some more stuff. Crystal Wall predicts the weather using Circuit Python. A different Python portal. And if you want to set up MicroPython for the PyPico. New pixel. Firefly jars with Raspberry Pi. Pico MicroPython. Here is a Pico alarm clock. Cool graphics. More Pico hacking and Circuit Python. Python news. So check that out. This is cool. The F sharp. So this is a Python like open source flight controller that like has support for like software and hardware. It's all open sources on GitHub. So I think it's the software that's running the helicopter that's on Mars. The quadcopter. Yeah. They use a framework, I guess, for all the NASA. There's now more open source computers on two planets. Yeah. So Mars and Earth. I can't wait until we have Circuit Python on Mars. Yeah. Eventually. We might. We find out of these things later too because our stuff is in satellites. CubeSats. So who knows, you know, you'll find out later. But you'll be able to tell when that happens because it'll be a newsletter. Check out the latest boards that we have in there. The easy way to keep track of stuff. Yeah. A lot more boards coming because all the RP2040 chips are arriving. So you're going to see a bunch of new boards get added, probably like 10 or 12 new boards coming. Yeah. That's like 150 or so. There's a lot. And check this out on Aida for Daily. This is where you sign up for this newsletter. It's spam free. It's on a separate website. Never spam. We don't harvest emails. We don't have pop-ups or all those things to make it terrible. And that's Python on Harvard News this week. Thank you, Blinka.


All right, Mr. Mayor, you can start at any time, sir. Thank you. Good afternoon. I'm Steve Shul, the mayor of Durham. And I'm here to talk to our media and our community about the events of last night in downtown Durham. Last night, somewhere between 60 and 75 people unannounced came into downtown Durham with the express purpose of inflicting damage, destruction, and violence. They damaged at least 13 buildings. They broke windows. They did tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to businesses, to a church. And this is not something that we can accept. And we will not accept it. I fully support the important righteous protests and support of rightful justice that have followed the murder of George Floyd and the tragic death of Breonna Taylor. These protests are righteous, and we need to support. And we do support everyone's First Amendment rights to protest and to assemble. And I've been so proud in Durham of how our police department has supported these protests and helped people exercise their First Amendment rights. And so proud of people in Durham for doing so peacefully. But the people who inflicted this damage last night are not advancing the cause of justice. In fact, what they are doing is co-opting this movement for racial justice for their own purposes. All of us, there's not a single soul that doesn't know the difference between a legitimate protest and an act of vandalism. There's a very clear line that we can all see and that we must draw that line. Again, I really commend Chief C.J. Davis and our police force for the way in which they have comported themselves during this protest over the last several months. And Durham has been a shining light in that regard. Our police have been non-confrontational. They have helped our protesters protest in ways that are peaceful and powerful. They have understood that civil disobedience would take place. And they have been very understanding of that and have dealt very well with the civil disobedience that has taken place. But what happened last night is something different. It's people who came to town bent on destruction. And that's something that we cannot expect. I have spoken to our city manager, Tom Bonfield, at length about this. I've been in touch with Chief Davis about this as well this morning. And I just want our whole community to know that I am very supportive of our police to take the action that they need to take to prevent this in the future. One of the things that our courts have made clear is that our police have to be close enough to actually identify people, and of course, this should be the case, if people are going to be prosecuted for this kind of violent activity. And Chief Davis is determined to make that happen. And I am fully supportive of everything. Anybody that comes to Durham with the intention of inflicting violence and destruction of property should know that I fully support our police in stopping this activity. And I know that our community supports our police in stopping this activity. This is not activity that anyone wants, except for this small group of people who are coming to Durham, or some from Durham. I don't want to say that none are from Durham. Some are from Durham and some are not from Durham. And they're coming downtown to inflict this destructive activity, and it's not acceptable. So thank you very much. And now I'm happy to take any questions from the media. Vivian, are we having any folks from the media who are able to ask questions or would like to? So far no one has asked to ask a question yet? All right. If I'm muted to ask a question. So if you would like to ask a question, I believe you can unmute yourself. Is that correct, Vivian? That is correct. All right. Mayor, this is a crystal price with CBS 17. Can we get clarification on how many businesses were actually hit, and was there any looting that occurred? My understanding is that there were 13 businesses that were hit, and that account could go up. I don't think we know them all yet. And my understanding is also that there was not any looting, which is good, very important. And also, I don't know if Chief Davis could answer. How does the police department plan to handle the next protest? Is there anything that will be done different to try to prevent any more vandalism like this? I'm going to ask Chief Davis if she would like to comment on that. Yes, I would. As most of you know, and to answer your question, the Durham Police Department has taken a non-confrontational stance on all of our protests and really trust in our community to be able to exercise their First Amendment rights without intervention from the police department. We have also been very diligent in ensuring that we take action on any intelligence or any information that's been provided to us in advance so that we could be ready to respond. Unfortunately, in this particular situation, we didn't receive advance notice of any type of group, that especially a group that claims to be an anarchist group visiting our city. We absolutely have the resources if we were made aware to respond in a timely fashion. By the time the Durham Police Department called officers in to respond to this particular group, they dispersed. Most of the damage had already been done. However, we plan to have more of a visible presence. That is the strategy that we feel that we have to take at this point, not in an antagonistic way, but in a manner that our community members know that we are there and we're paying attention. What we also don't wanna do is create a confrontation while we have other citizens and other visitors to our city who may be enjoying a peaceful dinner or just the sights of our wonderful downtown area.  And I have to commend our local protesters, those individuals who have been out, we have had minimal damage over the months, over several months. So last night sort of caught us by surprise, but unfortunately we will have to be a little bit more visible as it relates to our presence, especially until we get past this current climate of individuals just feeling that they need to express themselves. Last night, I don't believe that that expression had anything to do with the verdict and the outcome of the Breonna Taylor case. It had everything to do with taking advantage of an opportunity to express other ideology. Is the city considering putting a curfew in place? No, not at this time. I think that I would certainly take any advice, always take the chief's advice on anything like that, but we haven't had the need for a curfew in Durham and I don't anticipate any need for a curfew. Our residents have been various. The chief says our residents have been extremely constructive even under very difficult circumstances, even under very stressful circumstances. The fight for racial justice is critically important and our residents have been expressing themselves powerfully, but they've been doing so in a way that has, as the chief says, we've been very, very impressed and proud of. So we see no need for a curfew at this time. What we do see a need for is for those people who are bent on inflicting this kind of destruction, not to be doing it. And we don't need a general curfew to do that. Hi, Mayor Schuyl, this is Charlie from the News and Observer. Do you know, can you clarify what you know about the group behind this? Like who they are or just any information you had about them? I'll speak briefly on one aspect of that and then I'll ask the chief if she would like to speak further. I'm not sure how much that she wants to get into that, but I'll tell you one thing about it, Charlie, that I think is important. The folks that were just inflicting the damage last night were white. I just wanna be really clear about that. And I believe that that is an indication of the fact that this is an attempt to co-opt a racial justice movement. And again, this is not something that we can accept. Of course, it's important for white people to be on the side of racial justice all the time and to do that daily work that's so necessary and important to make racial justice in our country real. But that's very different than what these folks last night were doing. Chief, do you wanna comment at all on anything more about what we know about that group? You know, we don't know exactly who this group is associated with. We know the characteristics of anarchist groups and the wearing of all black, the carrying of umbrellas to hide various types of illicit activity, the mass, changing clothes after it's all done quickly, has everything to do with, it wasn't a mixed group. Most of the individuals that were in this group were involved in the criminal activity. They were involved in the vandalism. So this was very unusual and different characteristics from groups that we've seen protests here in the city of Durham. Even if we have individuals that are actors that sort of intermingle with our local peaceful protesters, we're able to identify those individuals relatively easily. This was a group that was in a whole made up of individuals who planned to riot and cause destruction. And their plan was to obviously get in quick, do damage quickly, and by the time there was a unified response of the numbers that we needed in order to engage this group, there was a dispersal of the group. So we don't know yet, we are still looking at, there's video footage that we're taking advantage of looking at to see if we can't identify any of the individuals that participated in that activity last night. Thank you, Chief. Other questions? Other questions by members of the media? All right, I'll ask one more time before the Chief and I sign off. Are there any other questions about this by members of our press who are with us today? We're so glad you're here with us. Thank you. Is there any word on if there will be another protest tonight, or when the next protest will be here in Durham? I can answer that right now. We don't have any indications of other protests. And just for the record, the Durham police, anytime there is a national type of statement or decision that may cause a reaction in our community, we are ensuring that we have folks on standby. We were prepared last night for some of our usual types of protests with minimal staffing, but certainly we're not prepared to respond to the level of activity that we did last night. We don't know what the next days could look like. So the Durham Police Department will be very strategic and do our, do regard in ensuring that we have individuals close enough on standby to respond quickly if we see any type of criminal activity. We will not tolerate criminal activity and violence in our city, or any type of activity that will cause harm or destruction of property or harm to other individuals who are visiting our downtown space. So just know that we're prepared to respond. We'll be working with our court systems as well so that we can find ways to hold people accountable. I think that's very important so that people don't feel that they can come to the city of Durham and just carry on any kind of way and victimize individuals and that there not be any type of repercussions. I wanna just offer my full support to what the Chief just said. Again, this is not acceptable and we can't accept it. And the Chief has my full support in actions that the Police Department will need to be taking. Thank you. Any further questions? Chief Davis, hi, this is Josh Zach from WPTF Radio. I wanted to ask the question again, going back to the groups that were involved in the vandalism last night. You said you don't know exactly yet who is responsible but they carry the signature of the anarchists and you went through some of the criteria regarding that. Will you be looking closer at the video footage to try and identify anybody and have so levy charges, is that possible? If we are able to leverage the video footage that might be, we're still trying to identify where various cameras are in the downtown space that we may have access to, we absolutely will if we can make clear identification of individuals who may have been involved. And not only to identify individuals but get more information about the group itself. Any more questions? All right, I wanna thank everybody for being here. I wanna thank Chief Davis for her work and I wanna say once again, in Durham, we understand very, very deeply in support. Righteous protests that are peaceful. We understand and support civil disobedience but we do not understand or support violence. And I know that I speak not just for myself, not just for our police department, not just for our city council but for our whole community. That's not the Durham way and we need to make sure that that's not happening here in Durham. So thank you very much for everyone for being here.


in this presentation we will allocate the net income in accordance with the partnership agreement we will have a situation where we get to the end of the calculation where we will have to allocate negative amounts to the capital accounts and that's something we want to watch out for and be careful of when we set up the partnership agreement in other words we're going to have the income split be based on one just an allocation of salary type allocation two based on a capital investment and then we'll allocate the rest in an even way and when we do that final allocation it's possible that we have um over allocated based on these first two items and don't have enough income to to cover that and then have to allocate basically a negative amount in that final position and so that's what we want to be aware of and that's what we'll look at here we'll do it in a table format and then we'll do the same thing with journal entries here and post that to the trial balance so we will have


Here is the single biggest mistake that many year 11 students make in the English Literature Essays. The single biggest mistake I've seen way too many year 11s make in the English Literature Essay is they stuff each paragraph that they write with way too many quotes. Now you might be thinking, hang on, my teacher's told me I need to put loads of quotations in. However, let me tell you why this is an actual mistake. Where students go wrong is when they're writing the English Literature Essays and they're adding lots and lots of quotations per paragraph, they don't even analyse it. They don't talk about, for example, what does this show about context? What does this show about the author's message? What kind of themes are being explored? It's better to take one quotation and do a deep dive and unpack how this is showing context, themes, characters and so on, rather than having loads and loads of quotations, but then you don't even analyse them. So remember it's better when you're writing these English Literature Essays to have fewer quotes, but then you do a deep dive, you go into lots of analysis per paragraph rather than having loads and loads of quotations.
