All right guys. Let's get right to it. Dave and Ed let's tip this thing off of the first game on the schedule tonight. We've got the seventy sixers at the Raptors 7 p.m. eastern time on NBA TV. The Raptors were down three nothing in this series. They've won the last two games. Could this be an epic collapse by Philly Dave despite recency bias here. The seventy sixers are one and a half point road favorites in this matchup. How do you feel about these sixers. Who do you like in this matchup. Well yeah I have a feeling that Toronto would be able to steal a game in Philly. And I thought in this game six it would be the Celtics that would be facing elimination but unfortunately for Toronto they lost a home game in game number three and that very devastating overtime loss but I don't see them losing two games at home in this series. I think they do make it three in a row. And one of the reasons they won game five so easily is they prevented Philly from getting inside. They forced them into a series. I thirty seven threes in that game and the sectors only made 10 of them and overall they only shot 38 percent for the field. I think they can once again defensively just put too much pressure on Philadelphia and force us into a game seven like Toronto personnel is going to matter a good bit in a game like this. And I do not think we're making a big enough deal about Matisse Thay bowl not being available for Philadelphia. He's not available to play in this game and he's an outstanding perimeter defender and he's a really good closer for the sixers. And so now who's going to be that guy to kind of shut down Toronto possibly shooting on the outside. I'm not sure there really is one you know Joel and beads you know usually playing down low for the most part. And so that's going to be a problem and I get Toronto not having Fred Van Flee is going to be an issue for them offensively. But look the closer not being there for Philadelphia is going to matter a good bit. But this half court offense matters a good bit when it comes to Toronto past Calciacum. Oh gee a new Anuobi. They've been great in transition and then the other guys have been excellent supplementing that half court offense. To me I think Toronto can win this game and force a game to win. We'll see how this one plays out going to be a great one there. And of course in addition to betting the spread you can also bet the total for this game that over under sitting there guys at two 10 and a half. And I'm going to start with you here. Are the 76ers and Raptors going over or under that number two 10 and a half. I love the under in this spot. And what's interesting is you think about some of the big guys who can play for Philadelphia. Well it turns out they're the worst team in terms of offensive rebounding rate. They're not getting those shorter possessions those shorter shot clocks and both teams played a slower pace of play anyway both in the regular season and in the playoffs compared with everyone else who's made it this far. So slow pace no offensive rebounding take the under we've seen a lot of totals in these playoffs in the two 30s. This one's two 10 and a half for a reason. This is just going to be a low scoring game. Toronto's best chance of winning is something like 105 to 99 something like that both games in Toronto have gone under and one of them has gone over time and still went under. So I just think they know that they need to control the tempo of this game keep it slow win it in a low scoring game. I like the under as well. And I too much green. What's going on too much. Yeah right. Let's get that. Let's get to some props here then. We got your picks for the spread. Got your total there. Take a take on that. Let's have now choose some really fun player props for this matchup and Dave got to start with the player props with 76ers all star center Joel and you guys talked about him already. Is he going over or under thirty nine and a half points plus boards. What do you think. Wow that really dropped with that number like 46 and a half when we covered him in game one. The market has adjusted and for good reason he has not been getting to the free throw line as much as he was during the regular season in this series. I mean that seems low actually thirty nine and a half compared to where it was. I don't think he's going to get it though. I'm going to go under. OK. Let's get to the Raptors top score there in Siakam and over or under twenty four and a half points for him. Just points there at twenty four and a half. Keep in mind again Fred Van Fleet is probably not going to play in this game and so the shots have to come from somewhere else. Not to mention Fred Pascal Siakam loves to drive the basketball scoring in a variety of ways has a high usage rate already that should go up in an elimination in elimination game. Elimination game say that and at home I think there are enough reasons to take the over. I try to avoid saying that word. All right Dave James Harden is the average nine point two assists in this series. His total set here at nine point five. How do you play it. Yeah he only had seven in his last game. I think baskets are going to be hard to come by. I don't think it's going to be fast break points where he usually gets a lot of his assists on the break. I think he's going to have to maybe be more of a score in this game than a passer. I just don't think he's going to hit that number. I'm going to stay under. All right should be an interesting one there in Toronto. Let's move on now and get to the second game on this schedule tonight. We have Phoenix and New Orleans taking on the Pelicans. This one tipping at 7 30 Eastern time on TNT. The Suns are up three two in this series but are still without their star. I'll start guard there and Devin Booker. Dave and Pony only one game in the series has been decided by less than eleven points. Been phenomenal basketball to watch here tonight. We have game six. Suns are two point road favorites. Pony give me your pick in this one. I would download the Fandall Sportsbook as quickly as you can and load up on Phoenix minus two. I think Pelicans their time has come that they are finally going to come back down to earth. I'm watching Zion Williams and do all these three sixty dunks and war buffs but they won't clear them to play. Booker is very close to returning and even without them they were able to go to New Orleans and win a game and I think they'll do the same thing here. Two points way too low. Take the best team in the NBA the Phoenix Suns. Yeah it's taking a lot longer than I thought it would for Phoenix to get this series done. I thought they would sweep them and I got to admit the Pelicans have been very pesty especially Alvarado against Paul. The main positive I think that the Pelicans have had in this series is Valetunas has been the leading rebounder in all of the playoffs and he's been a little bit better Nathan on the boards but outside of that I just think Phoenix is so much of a better team and we talked about it throughout this show over the weeks that Phoenix is the best team on the road. I think they have no problem going to the smoothie king arena which is going to be rocking but they'll get the job done. I'm with you. Download that Fandals sportsbook app and do what Pony says. I know you guys have been high on the Suns for quite some time. I tailed off those regular teasing games so let's roll out now our prop party and everybody is invited as always guys Pony coming right to you for this one over or under 32 and a half points plus assists for Suns guard Chris Paul. What do you think you would have gone under that number in three out of the five games that we've seen in this series so far and you got to give it a minus thirty six years old. So when you have an inflated number like this not a back to back situation but still a lot of games in a condensed period of time. I think Paul paces himself so I would take the under. All right Dave this one's for you. Let's move to the Pelicans Brandon Ingram here. Will he go over or under 25 and a half points. I think this is a bad line. He's averaging twenty eight point two is two home games. He's had thirty and thirty four. He's going to need to bring it throughout. He's a very good second half score. He's clutch in the fourth quarter. If he gets any sort of a decent start you should get twenty six easy. All right Pony let's get to the Suns big man who had had a great series here over or under ten and a half boards for Deandre Aten. Well he averaged ten in the regular season. He hasn't averaged that many in this series but one of the things I like for this prop to go over is the increased playing time eight minutes per game have gone up from twenty nine to thirty five because of what Dave's talking about. You got Val and Chewness and Nance and got some bigger bodies there for New Orleans. I think that helps him get over because of the increased playing time. All right finally Dave over under two and a half three pointers made for CJ McCollum. It's been one of my favorite bets all year long with this guy. It's always his number two and a half and he usually goes over and I think he'll do that again in here. He's averaging nine threes attempts in the series and three point two made so that math tells me he's going to get three. All right now let's get to third game six tonight. We've got Dallas and Utah tip scheduled ten p.m. Eastern time on TNT Dallas is up three games to two and looking to close out the series after a twenty five point win at home in game five Mavericks are giving one a very tight line here at how do you feel about that number. Here's the deal. Do not succumb to recency bias. I get the Dallas had a phenomenal defensive outing in game five but a lot of that involved what they did to Donovan Mitchell and yes he may not be quite a hundred percent in a game like this but in all likelihood he's going to go out there and play keep in mind too that bringing in Luca Doncic after injury coming back that's not helping this team defensively he can do a heck of a lot of things offensively in isolation but defensively actually take a bit of a step back when he's on the floor and so to me this is going to be a great opportunity for Utah to kind of get back to their bread and butter shooting a lot of corner threes I think they'll hit a lot of them I like Utah on the money line and forcing a game seven. So do I think a lot of betters just look at that line and get hoodwinked by what happened in the last game. Look the jazz shot three a 30 from three that was a first in NBA history they're not going to shoot it that bad. I think there's a narrative out there that the jazz players don't like each other that they're not conditioned for playoff basketball while Dallas flew a three two series leave last year and they're the worst scoring team in these playoffs go by the number so I'm going to take the jazz to force a game seven two. All right great stuff guys. No player props listed for the jazz at the time of the taping the show so we're just going to go ahead and focus on a couple Mavericks props and a game prop for this matchup. Let's get to both of you to pick out of this one out here. Over or under forty eight and a half points plus rebounds plus assists. You guys talked about looking at this earlier and I'm going to have you go first. So when it comes to Luca keep in mind that his usage rate has been fifth highest in the playoffs is again coming off of injury and that's only going to go up because of his usual workload that you expect from him also to Dallas is probably going to play a good bit of small ball because it's tend to work against Utah in the playoffs and so the rebound number is the key for me. I think Luke is going to be the one collecting a lot of those boards. That number will go up. You can expect a good points and assist number from him as well. I like the over. Yeah I'm going to go under here at this third game coming up an injury. I want to see how his body responds. He would say from an intensity standpoint this is going to be the highest level of play we see from the jazz. If it's not then they should blow the whole thing up. So because the game is in Utah I expect we get the jazz's best effort and I think that drives the Dodgers number down. And I need you to talk to me about Dorian Finney Smith here. We're going over or under 12 and a half points for him. I think there are too many paths for the under here partially because Luca could be creating a lot of his shots and could go off for 50 points in a game like this. Also Dorian Finney Smith could be more of a facilitator in terms of finding Jalen Brunson finding Spencer Denwitte or he could just not play that many minutes too many paths I'm going under. OK Pony how about this game prop for you. What is the win margin of this one. You see the four betting options on your screen there. How do you play this one. I'm a big fan of big payouts. I like rolling the dice. I'm a better. That's why I like the Utah jazz to win this game by 11 plus 400. Now this should be Donovan Mitchell if he doesn't play I will be absolutely shocked. I would be floored if he sat out an elimination game and I think they'll shoot the three ball so much better and hey they can score better than the Mavericks and I think they'll have a hard time keeping up.  I love it. All right. That's a look at all of tonight's games.

I'm right now we're going to get you back to the NBA playoffs and focus here on Friday's action guys just one game on the schedule. We've got the second seed to Grizzlies taken on the seventh seed to Timberwolves this game in Minnesota tip nine p.m. on ESPN that is Eastern Memphis up three two in this series past two games have been decided by a combined three points. I said at the beginning of the show we've had some great basketball here Minnesota getting one and a half points at home. Dave do you like the T Wolves in this spot. No I don't. You mentioned the last two games have been very very close but the first three games of this series have been blowouts whether it was Minnesota or Memphis winning. I think we're back to a blowout here maybe not a blowout but a pretty handy win for Memphis who is Jamerat going to dunk on in this game. He has just been so phenomenal. You know the Minnesota Timberwolves do have offense at times they were the best scoring team in the regular season but I think Memphis has them figured out and they're going to be able to defensively stop what the Timberwolves want to do and that is score 130 points. I think Memphis offense it's just that much better right now just too much firepower Grant Bain has been incredible. So I'm going to say that this game is not going to be too close and Memphis moves on. I don't know who John Moran is going to be dunking on in this game but I do know that I'm going to dunk on you for this pick because I am taking Minnesota here on the money line in large part because Minnesota is an incredibly streaky shooting team and going up against Memphis you know I have not trusted this Memphis half court offense for a long time usually it's been about offensive rebounding for them. They haven't been very good as far as that's concerned in the playoffs against this team at least and yeah John Moran has been able to produce a lot but Minnesota's streakiness means that they are probably due for some positive regression to the main. Look at these playoffs series 81st percentile in shooting in game one all the way down to the ninth percentile in game three they are due to come back at home I think Minnesota forces another game in this series. I got posterized Lisa. Yeah I was going to say I mean Ed is tall I bet he can dunk. All right you guys the total for this one is much higher than all of tonight's games of right now it's set at 229 Ed is this game going over or under 229 what do you think well because I think Minnesota is going to win this game outright it's in large part because you have a lot of guys like Anthony Edwards Carl Anthony Towns who are able to produce a lot either on their own or with some pick and rolls things like that so for that for Minnesota to win it has to be a higher scoring game and so a bit of a parlay so to speak I'm going over. You're going under. Oh are you going over. Yeah you're going over. Yeah sure I'm going over because this over has gone 230 points in this series three out of five 229 is actually a little bit low for what we've seen in this matchup and it's elimination game. You're going to have those you know intense fouls maybe at the end if it's a five six point game. I say this hits the over to all right. I didn't know if there was like some uncertainty but yeah like we're all going to go over. I'll go over to why not. All right some big name players in this matchup as well so we're going to hit some of the props from these guys. We got to start with John Ran. I just talked about him he's really showing off his skills on a national stage. Happy for this guy is a prop of thirty six and a half points plus assists Dave over or under over that take the assists out. I mean this guy that on any given night can score 36 or 40 let alone the assists that he's going to pick up. You know he's going to dunk on a lot of people. That's a 20 points right there 10 dunks. What's he need another 16 points and an assist. Easy Ed easy little low hanging fruit there OK. Pick it up everybody. For Minnesota Anthony Edwards is their rising star here Ed over or under 23 and a half points for him. He is a data scientist best friend. He is an analytics BFF. Look at his shot chart. It's all about threes or getting layups or dunks down low that's exactly what you should be doing to heck with the mid-range game because he is efficient. I'm going over. I need to get you a t-shirt that says that I love that and analytics BFF. All right from a number one overall pick in the in the draft to another here we've got Minnesota's Carl Anthony Towns as a prop of 36 and a half points plus rebounds Dave. I think he gets this you know that's the same number as job except it's rebounds that it says obviously he's going to be able to have a pretty good game on the board but he's another guy that he scored 60 and he came this year so 36 and a half points and rebounds let's go over. Yeah let's take it all right you guys right now only one second round matchup is set that's the second seat of Boston Celtics taking on the third seat of Milwaukee Bucks these two teams will play game one of their series not until Sunday tip time 1 p.m. on ABC and the line at the Fandle Sportsbook is Bucks plus five so we're going to get everyone's take on this matchup Dave I'm going to start with you who do you like here on Sunday Bucks plus five John Sheeran had a few too many pints shouldn't this line be maybe two and a half three five okay Middleton is out that's fine I'll take the plus one sixty eight on the money line I think that the Bucks win this series and win this game get things started that line is out of whack to me. Do I have to dunk on you again Dave I guess I will because I'm taking the Celtics I'm laying the points in this one if you look at all the different five man liners in the playoffs so far the most efficient one offensive and defensively belongs to Boston and keep in mind like yeah I know the Nets got swept but that was really stiff competition for Boston to get in round one absolutely sweat them look dominant there's a reason for that that five man lineup with Jason Tatum you know it's it's been just incredible you know Marcus smart all those guys it's been fantastic I think Boston covers well I think the Nets didn't care about playing defense I mean defense was optional for them they didn't travel with their defense at all that series I think the Bucks are not a great defensive team but we know the effort will be there and look as far as the Middleton situation goes I'm shocked how well Grayson Allen has played he's come up the bench for Milwaukee he's made a ton of threes he's been such a microwave player for them so I think he covers that loss I'm taking Milwaukee plus five Lisa and I'm taking them plus one sixty eight to win game one outright yeah Grayson Allen he's out scoring opponents bench by himself all right you guys that's a breakdown of every NBA playoff game currently scheduled but we have much more including our guys picks for the NBA champion also NBA

team so we're representing each conference in the NBA finals you guys good with that all right let's start in the east you can see the odds on your screen right here I want to get all of you to give me your pick days your first I'm going to Milwaukee now they need to get past Boston obviously without Middleton but if they do that he potentially should be back for the rest of the playoffs or at least let's hope he will but I think they could get through this series Grayson Allen Pony pointed out he's having a good series but Pat Connaughton I mean he's another guy that's been very effective off the bench drew holiday needs to make a lot more shots than he has been he's streaky he was not very good in his last game and they still won but if he makes shots we know John is going to do what John is does I think Milwaukee is the team I like Miami here at nearly two to one path matters in terms of getting to the finals and yeah we can have a nice spirited debate in terms of who's going to win the series between Boston Milwaukee but guess what that just means the series is going to go for a while meanwhile Miami is going to get a depleted Philadelphia team or a depleted Toronto team they're going to have an easier path probably fresher fewer possibility for injuries I think Miami can get to the finals yeah I'm a big believer that in today's NBA it's offense that wins not defense so all the old heads out there that say defense wins championships frankly I think they're wrong with the modern NBA and Milwaukee is the best offensive team they score more than anybody in the east they shoot the three better than the Celtics and they've got Yanis the most complete player I'm taking the box wow I feel like that's a safe play all right you guys same drill except for the West now we're going to go around the horn again Dave who's your Western Conference champion oh it's the Suns and they're not even favored anymore everybody's on Golden State no thank you the road goes through Phoenix they had a great regular season they're going to have the home court and I think the odds are great right now that they're not even the chalk I was on Golden State if you recall so I'm basically pot committed at this point talked about the great line up the Golden State has it remember dream on Green and Steph Curry not played much in the regular season kept together but now that they have unbelievable I've always been a value better I think that Utah is going to come back to beat Dallas so if Dallas is five to one right now Utah is 32 to one if they win that series it flips so give me the team that's 32 to one right now and is going to make it to the second round all right guys so now we have the teams you think we'll be playing in the finals let's get to the end of that series and see about which team will be the crowned NBA champion when it's all said and done here once again odds right there on your screen Dave who do you like and why I'm sticking with Phoenix they've been the best team by far throughout the year a little bit of hiccups with the Devon Booker going down but he'll be back and I think they're offering great value right now they're a plus two seventy when the playoffs began and now they're up to almost plus four hundred thank you going with chalk in Golden State at three to one I'm expecting a Warriors heat NBA finals and I don't think that heats vaunted zone defense is going to do very much against that death lineup of Golden State even the second tier in terms of Jordan pole and Andrew Wiggins they're capable of producing a lot of offense on their own I just don't know how Miami can stop everybody all the second highest scoring team in the NBA is Memphis so what I do here is I look at the teams on that graphic and I ask myself how many of them can win an NBA championship I think the top six so I'm going to take the team with the best odds there Memphis ten to one to win the championship. All right great stuff got you by you guys let's focus down which player will shine during that final series of handle sports with odds for finals MVP are on your screen right now Dave you going chalk are you like a long shot here. No I like Devon Booker he was plus nine fifty yesterday I think that plus seven fifty is a great indication that his hamstring is getting better day by day and he's looking to play maybe a game seven if they need it which I don't think they will but he'll be ready to go for the next series give me Booker. I have Golden State winning at all but I'm going to go with Drayman Green getting MVP honors in large part because if Miami the final I'm expecting slows that series down that it's going to be an individual defensive stopper who may stand out a good bit more than say one guy who's shooting lights out and Drayman Greens defense we know some of the best that we've seen in NBA history I think he is the finals MVP well can someone explain to me if the Suns are still such a popular pick why is eight and so low. I mean he's very capable through rebounding and being a double bubbles machine of becoming the most dominant player for the Suns in an NBA finals victory so I just don't understand why he is so far down the board. I think he's amazing value I would bet him. Yeah I'm like yo just zip it stop complaining pony just take it load up on eight and great stuff by you guys before we go I got to tell you about a couple of special offers here and we're going to start with a fandal casino and this one is for all new players welcome check it out new users who download the app and sign up for a new account can play fandal casino games risk free for up to 24 hours that means at the end of your first day of play if you're down money you'll get it back up to 1,000 bucks the special promo is for new players 21 or older in New Jersey Pennsylvania Michigan and West Virginia so make sure to download the fandal casino app and sign up for a new account to take advantage of this 24 hour and $1,000 risk free offer it's a fandal casino app and lastly I have to fill you in here because the Kentucky Derby is right around the corner horse racing's most famous race and TVG is giving new players a surprise Derby sign up offer that's right new users go to TVG.com slash best bet to see what this surprise is built and build your Derby bank role from there you got to check out the surprise before you place your Derby bet download the TVG app to get access to picks analysis and wagering advice from the top industry experts it's all on the TVG app that'll do it for us thanks for joining us everybody enjoy the game and we'll see you right back here next time


The Cavalcade of America, presented by Dupont, the story of Jean Lafitte, adapted for radio from material suggested by the eminent American author, Marquis James, starring William John Stone in the role of Jean Lafitte. The Dupont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry, bring you another drama in the Cavalcade of America, the story of a picturesque, rebooting pirate, Captain Jean Lafitte. And here is the Cavalcade of America's historical advisor, Dr. Frank Monaghan of Yale University. This evening, Cavalcade presents a little-known, but highly important episode of the War of 1812. It is the mid-winter of 1814, during our Second War with Great Britain. To many persons, it is America's darkest hour since Valley Forge. Our military invasions of Canada have been miserable failures. The British have burned both the capital and the White House in Washington. They are in firm possession of whole regions along the Atlantic coast. Their fleets blockade our ports. Dark is America's prospect, but now it grows worse. For England has now defeated the Great Napoleon and sent him into exile. She is determined to end the lagging war in America with one staggering blow by the greatest single army and a European power ever dispatched to the New World. That blow is to be struck against New Orleans and the Mississippi Valley. With 10,000 seasoned veterans, Major General Sir Edward Pachanin maneuvers his fleet of 50 vessels of war into the Gulf of Mexico. In the dismal tangle of Palmetto and Cyprus is the camp of the hastily gathered frontier militia forces of a worn and weary fighter from Tennessee, Andrew Jackson. It is late at night. By that tarnal coffee. Look at this. This letter here now.   Pantsy, too. Well, who's it from? Governor Claiborne. That prancing, squealing, fussed budget to come down here from Virginia. Now he's the governor getting all riled up about the British where they're going to attack. He says you've got to protect Louisiana from those red-backed skunks. He said maybe he's going to tell us how we ought to do it, huh? Maybe he doesn't think I wish I knew where they were going to crack us. Either New Orleans or Mobile, I figured. That doesn't help us any. Not enough men in our camp to be both places to once and tell you coffee. I wish I knew where. New Orleans or Mobile. And now Claiborne tells me he's wondering, too. Not only that, but he says we've got to watch out for a cussed pirate to boot. Who's that? Some French jackass named Lafitte, Jean Lafitte. You know him? Yes, I know him. I heard him. He's practically the idol of New Orleans. I don't care if he's their patron saint, idol of New Orleans. By that time I'd like to lay my hands on them. I'd throttle them so fast I'd have to duck out of the way with the t-fly out of his mouth. Over the hills from the camp of Andrew Jackson beyond the lakes and bayous lies the picturesque city of New Orleans. It's late the following afternoon and the sunlight glows golden on a colorful promenade in the square. Brilliant New Orleans with its frivolity, its commerce, and its romance. At the sidewalk cafe several men are seated about a table with Captain Jean Lafitte listening to a street singer. Who is he? Here you are, my man. Ah, merci, merci, Captain Lafitte. Use it to buy a bracelet for the lovely one in the store. Oui, merci, Captain Jean, merci. Ah, now then, monsieur, back to our business. The deal is made. I am satisfied, Captain Lafitte. And I have. When will I expect the merchandise? Tomorrow at the latest, monsieur. It is already at my headquarters at Grand Air. Good. The shelves of my shop are badly in need of replenishment. They have been wondering, Captain Lafitte, how long you and your brother Pierre will be able to escape the governor's customers, men. Yes, we have been told that Governor Claiborne frowns on your profession. Ah, good day, new Captain Lafitte. Good day, monsieur. Perhaps that's one reason I have no trouble with the authorities. My good Grand Monsieur, the district attorney. The gentle art of smuggling has been considered a legitimate business in these parts for many years. As for Monsieur le Governor Claiborne, the poor gentleman is so busy worrying about the English fleet that he has no time to bother about me. My island of Barataria is a stronghold. Oui, Capitaine Jean, it guns to match the best of his excellence. Monsieur, my faithful friend and associate, Gambio, speaks little. A very observant fellow, Gambio. I have to be observant. Otherwise, more Capitaine would give away all the money we make as pirates. Corsair, privateer, Gambio. I like not a word pirate. Such a sour face, mon enfant. You would think I never expected to take to sea again. Sometimes I wonder about that too. These Americans who have come into power here are very sure of themselves. They might even attack Barataria. Careful how you speak of Americans, Gambio. Remember, we are all Americans now. Is that not so, Monsieur? Very well. Oh, your pardon, Monsieur. There is another friend of mine I would speak to, the good father. Father. Good evening, my son. Good evening, father. I was hoping to see you. You are going to the catheter? Not this evening. I regret, father. I am very busy. Too busy to confess, perhaps. If I should start confessing, father, I fear that you would become exhausted before you could give me absolution. The first, Gambio. This for some of your needy ones, father, and this for a mass for my beloved mother. Good night. If only your soul were as good as your heart, Jean Lafitte. Good night. Good night, father. I never hear the voice of the church. I'm afraid I will wake far. No fear of that, Gambio. And now I must leave you, mes amis. I must see my brother Pierre and make arrangements for your shipment. Before I go, let us see what the news is, eh? Oh, boy, bring me the gazette. Here it is, Captain Jean. Thank you, my son. Thank you. Now tell me, have you had any sweets today? No, Captain Jean. Give him some of our profits, Gambio. Here, I sue. No, when you give, give generously. Here, catch. Oh, merci, monsieur. Merci, Captain Jean. Gambio is right, Captain Lafitte.  Perhaps, perhaps. But I shall have lived. No, Captain. See there on the front page. What? A proclamation. Yes. A proclamation signed by Governor Cleveland. No all men. It is hereby decreed that the sum of $500 will be paid to the person of persons whose love of justice and desire for order direct their most conscientious energies in such a manner to effect the capture of the notorious Brigham, Freedbuter, and Pivot. Jean Lafitte. The man insults me. $500. Captain Lafitte, you should be amused by this. Yes, Captain. You must take it as a joke. No, monsieur, not quite a joke. Monsieur Claiborne cannot have the last word. I will publish a reward for the governor. What? Yes. I will offer five times the amount he offers for me, perhaps ten times more. And not as a measure of Monsieur Claiborne's worth, but as evidence of my own generosity. Come, Gambio, let us find my brother Pierre. It is long since we have visited here, Gambio. You will surprise my brother and his marry Louise. Strange that a man of action like Pierre should choose a wife in a place like this. Well, that does not go by rules, Mon Capitaine. Oh, Monsieur Jean, it is you. I am so glad you are here. My sister was sending me to look for you. Indeed, my petit. Oh, Gambio, this is Marie-Louise Little Sister Catherine. Mme Z. Oh, come in quickly, please, Monsieur Jean. Marie-Louise is in great distress. Come in, Gambio. She is ill. Oh, no, Monsieur. Your brother, Pierre. What of Pierre? He has been arrested. What's that you say? Marie, Marie-Louise. Jean, you are here at last. What will we do? Is this true? This story Catherine tells me. It is true, Jean. The government sent to Pierre not half an hour ago. They arrested my brother? And this governor overreaches himself. Oh, my poor Pierre. In prison. I've been trying to tell her, but all would be well when you are at, Monsieur Jean. Oh, what can you do? Perhaps you will soon appear in your arms again, Marie. The district attorney, Mr. Grimes, is my friend. Always the prison door swing open for my men. Have no fear, Marie. Pierre will soon be free. Monsieur Livingstone, my friend district attorney, Grimes, says you are the best lawyer in all Louisiana. I will pay $10,000, $50,000 for Pierre's release. It is not a question of money, Captain Lafitte. Governor Claiborne can't be bought. Surely the guards at the jail can be reached? Your brother is imprisoned at the Cabildo itself. Under the eyes of the governor's own guard. For years I have always bought my way out of all difficulties. Not with the men who are now in power, Captain Lafitte. I don't think you realize that Governor Claiborne was very much annoyed by your impudent proclamation. Well, I was annoyed by his proclamation. What does the governor demand? As my lawyer it is for you to find out. If I am to be your lawyer, my advice is that you return to baritariate once. Here even you are in danger of arrest. Arrest? General Lafitte? That's my advice, Captain. Return to baritariate, and I'll see what I can do for your brother. Southward from New Orleans across the bayous and lakes lies the Bay of Barataria. It's sapphire waters glittering to the faraway horizon. In this isolated setting there are islands of swaying palm trees, tropical and fragrant. Among them is the island of Grand Terre, a stronghold of the Baratarian pirates, and pacing restlessly on a wide terrace of his fortress overlooking the bay, is General Lafitte. How many weeks must I be cooked up in this island before I hear from that infernal lawyer? How long must my poor brother languish in that stuffy cabildo? I will go to New Orleans tomorrow. Ship, Mon Capitaine. There, to the east. Perhaps this is Monsieur Claiborne seeking me. Call him into quarters. Already, the ace into that post. Hand me my spy glasses, we, Mon Capitaine. The Governor Claiborne will find us prepared for... Mais non. It is not the American Governor.  She flies the English collars. An English ship? Perhaps it is a trick. Let them land if they will. Perhaps they fates are playing an interesting game with Jean Lafitte. English officers, Mon Capitaine. Captain Lafitte, permit us to introduce ourselves. I am Captain Locker, of his majesty's ship Sophie, the brig that is anchored in your bay. This is Captain McWilliams, Royal Marines.  The blank shot to attract your attention, Captain. We come under a flag of truce, Lafitte, with formal proposals. Will you not be seated, Monsieur? Let us enjoy this truce. We come from Captain Sir William Percy and General Sir Edward Packamon, commanding his majesty's sea and land forces. We have the honor, Captain Lafitte, to present official communications. Formal proposals, official communications? You frighten me, Monsieur. We'll come to the point at once. Captain Lafitte, you are, of course, familiar with the Louisiana Seaco. Do you hear from a balcony? You must guess that we are not interested. You water route to New Orleans by way of the lakes. Tell me, would such a route be feasible for ships of our size, Captain? Captain McWilliams, you flatter me. How should I know that? Just a moment, McWilliams. Captain Lafitte, here is a paper that should interest you if our talk does not. Paper? Louisianans, I knew the first call is made to assist in liberating your paternal soil from American use of patience. This is addressed to me as a Louisianan. It is, Captain Lafitte. But you forget that I am also American. We understand that you're, that you have been... That I am an outlaw? Is that what you mean to say? Well, at least that you are at the moment experiencing certain difficulties with the American authorities. You seem well informed as to my affairs, Monsieur. Here is a second paper, Captain. It is an invitation. An invitation? I call upon you and your brave followers to enter the service of Great Britain, in which you will have the rank of captain. Hmm, complete amnesty for all my followers? Post in the British Navy commensurate with ability? Our property and persons are expected? So I must be England's ally or her enemy? In terms of liberal, Captain Lafitte, we are authorized to say that besides the rank of captain, England will pay you a bounty of $30,000. And your brother Pierre will be free. That last is the greatest inducement you offer, Monsieur. In return for all this? Lead us by the simplest and most direct route to New Orleans. Perhaps. Perhaps. I am sometimes slow in thought, Monsieur, especially when I am hungry. Will you be my guest? I should like to discuss this further. And what better way than over my wine? Come, Monsieur, if you please, to my dining gallery. Very well, Captain Lafitte, as you wish. Thank you, Captain Lafitte. A delightful dinner. Your pardon, Monsieur? I said it was a very good dinner. Thank you, Monsieur. And now may we expect your decision, Captain Lafitte? I am sorry, Monsieur. It will take me two weeks to make my decision. Two weeks? Why so long, Captain? You see, Monsieur, my men, unfortunately, do not care for the English. Perhaps you have noticed the way they have of looking at your uniform. No, Monsieur, it will take time to prepare them to like you a little. Shall we say two weeks? Well, there's no other way out of it. I shall study the letters well. Very well, Captain. We'll expect your answer in two weeks. Come, Lafitte. Au revoir, Monsieur. Au revoir, Captain. Au revoir. Mon Capitaine, if you're going to wait two weeks before you give these English their answer. Yes, Gambior. But it is a good offer, Mon Capitaine. Fear will be free, and we shall have all the gold we need. Perhaps. But, Gambior, don't you see? I hold the one piece of information that Governor Clemon desires. We know where the English will attack. What will the governor give for this news? May we? If Monsieur Le Governor refuses to trade with us, we join the English. It is a good plan. Perhaps. Perhaps you are right. I can now demand what I will of Governor Clemon. Power, my friend, is a great thing. Gambior, bring me paper and quill. I'm going to write a letter. Perhaps this game is for higher stakes than I thought. But, Mr. Livingston, I can't understand this. Are you sure this letter is genuine? Yes, Governor Clemon. I'm sure. I know Jean-Lafitte's signature. It was brought to me by his most trusted lieutenant. Are you sure this isn't some trick to affect Pierre Lafitte's release? It says, I offer to give back to the state many citizens who perhaps in your eyes have lost that sacred title. I offer their efforts for the defense of the country. I don't know, Mr. Livingston. I don't know.  That letter is sincere. Huh? Even in making such an offer to the man's arrogant, I shall be the lost sheep who desires to return to the flock. And this. In case, Monsieur Le Governor, that your reply should not be favorable, I declare to you that I shall leave immediately so as not to be hailed to have cooperated with the invasion. Who do you do this? I believe he would. Who can trust a pirate? He has sent you the English correspondent. You have learned that the English will attack at New Orleans instead of Mobile. Now you can get General Jackson to come down here. You are already in great debt to Jean-Lafitte. That's what I don't like. I promise the people of Louisiana to hang their feet and stamp out all they stand for. How can I go back in my word? This means I'd have to release Pierre-Lafitte. Prisoners have been known to escape. It's impossible to escape from the cabildo. Doors have been left open. Guards have been known to look the other way. The city is in danger. How did you get out of the cabildo? Last night the cell door was ajar and the guards know where to be since I walked out. All these weeks I have tried to get you off. Jean, here is a letter. After I left the cabildo, the lawyer, Monsieur Livingstone, gave it to me. Let us see what he has to say. Pierre, listen. He suggests that we join the standard of the United States to march against the enemy. He says that there may be a proclamation offering pardon to all who join General Jackson. But you cannot trust that, Governor Claiborne. Yeah. It is time for Jean-Lafitte to act. On the one hand, I have the English terms. And the other, the suggestion of Monsieur Livingstone. Perhaps, perhaps, Pierre, the time has come for me to take a little trip to New Orleans. General Jackson, now that we know where the English plan to attack... Why the tunnelcourt, they can't, I get it into your head that we can't fight them without weapons. Well, you've always boasted that Back Woodsman was a match for a dozen Redcoats. Men, yes, but they've got artillery. I had just half as many guns. Well, what do you want? Captain will affee to see General Jackson. Captain. I said I'd get my hands on his throat someday. Send them in. Yes, sir. General, say Captain Lafitte. Captain Lafitte reporting to General Jackson. Captain Lafitte, eh? All right, coffee, you can go. I want to talk to this bandit. The general. You need have no fear for the general's safety, Monsieur. My safety? You think I'm afraid of a blasted pirate? Get out, coffee, get out. Yes, General. So you're the cussed freebooter I've heard of, eh? Well, come to the point for a springy up. I am here, General Jackson, in reply to the proclamation. The governor said you needed men. Well, suppose I do. What proof, why, that you and your cutthroat will play fair? I am trusting myself to you, General. You will have to trust me. Well, what's your proposition? What you need most. Men, ammunition. You're not at all what I expected.   I hope to prove to you that I am a soldier, General. I have many men under my command to keep discipline, and men must know discipline. I never thought I'd be thanking a pirate for information that may save Louisiana and the Mississippi Valley. I say may save the men I got can lick their wheat and wildcats and they can hit a squirrel's eye as far as they can sight a gun. But, General, they cannot shoot the gun without flints. Is it not so? I told you I needed flints. I have my sources of information. I suppose you know I haven't got much artillery. Yes, Monsieur. That is why I have come to tell you that I have a cache of over 7,500 flints. And if you will accept them, General, all my men are anxious to volunteer under you. I promise you they will not often miss the squirrel's eye. And then the artillery stowed away, have you? Oui, Monsieur. Several cannon in good condition. You smile at last, Mons General. I have always spoken, I was a good judge, you men. Refete, I can use your flints and your men. And the cannon? Yes, by the tunnel and the cannon, too. I suppose you know your way around this country. I flutter myself, I do, General. Come here, coffee. Yes, General. Captain Refete's having some vittles with us. We're making plans to hunt some squirrels in red coats. Thank you, General. And now, may I be permitted to send for my men? The sooner the better. My brother is waiting. Fast Captain Refete's brother. Where's Captain Refete's brother? Come in, Pierre. Yes, John. Round up them in. Tell them to get their flints and cannon and come here and join up with General Jackson's horse. Now I will give those English their answer. Yes, it won't, John. Make his, Pierre. Wait a minute. You might tell my boys that, too. They'll cheer them up. Tell them we all get ready now to boot those English mules clear back across the Atlantic where they come from. Yes, General Jackson. Tell me something to feed. The English offer was a good one, wasn't it? Very generous. And why'd you refuse it? Why do you throw in your lot with my rag tag and bob tail? Especially when the governor had a price on your head. Perhaps.  Perhaps it is my sympathy for what I consider the underdog. And perhaps. Perhaps sometime someone may even say, Jean Lafitte did what he did because he was an American. And the Americans at New Orleans scored one of the most decisive military victories in history against a vastly superior British army. But without the cannon, the flintlocks, and the heroism of French-born Jean Lafitte and his men, there might have been another story. In granting Jean Lafitte and his men a free and full pardon, President Madison in February 1815 declared that it was because they have abandoned the prosecution of the worst cause in order to adopt the best. And particularly, because they have exhibited in the defense of New Orleans, unimpleachable traits of courage and fidelity. And with the words of President Madison, we may well accord that Jean Lafitte is rightful place in the cavalcade of America. Thank you, Dr. Monahan. From the days of Jean Lafitte up to the present time, New Orleans has been a great center for King Cotton. The New Orleans citizens of 1814 would have been amazed to see the things into which Cotton goes today as a chemical raw material. Take one example, plastics. Those modern man-made materials used to make everything from the comb you used on your hair this morning to automobile steering wheels and fountain pens. Isn't it hard to believe that they are born in the Cotton field? DuPont makes several types of plastics. And the story of their development is another chronicle of American ingenuity. Before the turn of the century, the comb industry depended chiefly on horn from the long horned cattle that roamed the Western Plains. Then horn began to grow scarce after the introduction of the chunky, hornless cattle that were found to be more profitable for beef. For people still needed combs and buttons and other products made from horn. So chemists developed a method of making combs and other articles from plastics derived from Cotton cellulose. From 1900 on, there appeared thousands of plastic articles from optical frames to furniture. DuPont chemists were able to make important contributions in cellulose plastics because of their long experience in using cellulose as a raw material for other products. In the early days, plastics were made to resemble ivory, amber, tortoise shell, ebony, and the entire range of semi-precious stones. Nowadays, plastics do not try to imitate anything. They are beautiful and useful in their own right. In 1907, there were only three kinds of plastics, each having unique qualities. But the curious thing is, for another 22 years, until 1929, that picture of the plastics industry remained practically unchanged. Most of the spectacular development in plastics has taken place within the past 10 years. Today, there are at least 13 types of plastics, each with distinctive properties. This new industry born in the chemist test tube has meant the employment of thousands of workers, not only in plants like DuPonts that make the basic materials, but also in factories throughout the land that turn plastics into countless articles of better living for your daily use. Plastics are an admirable example of the DuPont pledge, better things for better living through chemistry. And now, Dr. Monaghan. Now we present the question which will be answered on the Cavalcade program at this same time next week. What member of Abraham Lincoln's immediate household was under suspicion and actually investigated as a Confederate spy during a most critical period of the Civil War? Thank you. DuPont is pleased to announce that next week the Cavalcade of America will present one of the great actors of our times, Mr. Raymond Massie. Mr. Massie will be starred as Abraham Lincoln in an original radio play written especially for the Cavalcade of America by the distinguished dramatist Mr. Robert E. Sherwood. The play is based on material drawn from Carl Sandburg's monumental new biography, Abraham Lincoln, The War Years. The broadcast will originate on the stage of the Civic Opera House in Chicago where Mr. Massie is currently appearing in Mr. Sherwood's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Abe Lincoln in Illinois. This is Thomas Chalmers saying good night and best wishes for the DuPont Company. This is the National Broadcasting Company.


All right, so the question is if you violate natural law, or whether you violate your natural law by letting this person starve on the side of the road, okay, well, suppose you say yes. That's a natural reaction, sure. Suppose you say yes. How have you violated natural law? So it's, you know, you acquire the apples, they're yours, right?  It's not like you're, you know, taking the apple, grinding it into the ground and laughing cackling, letting it go to waste, and then spilling the water off just like, I'm causing you. No, that's not what's happening.  You're going to use them. So you didn't violate those constraints on natural law. You're not letting the property spoil. Are you harming this person? Okay. I mean, if you want to say something like that, okay. How are you harming them? It's not like you're actively kicking them. It's like, you're starving and I'm going to kick you. No, that's kind of awful, but it's not like you're doing that.  That's not what's happening either, right? You're literally not doing anything to that person. If you want to say inaction is the same thing as, inaction that leads to harm is the same thing as harm. Okay. You can do that, I suppose. But then how many people have you harmed today? If you really want to talk about this, how many of you have chosen to go to the movies? That's what, you know, a single ticket depending on when you go and what show and whatnot. That's, you know, seven, eight bucks. You get that popcorn. That's another 15. It's pretty expensive stuff real quick.  You're going to feed yourself. If you choose to go to the movies as opposed to giving food to somebody, right, that's almost worse. Like, you know, I could feed you and save your life, but I really want to see the movie. I really want to see this movie. It's got a great star in it, but waiting for us to come out forever. It's the sequel. Whatever you want to add to it. Like, oh, wow, that seems almost worse, right? Or even, even some of the things that you choose to buy, right? Like, so, what, Frappuccinos? They don't even have any actual coffee in them. It's mostly sugar and some flavoring. I mean, I guess it's cream, but I really don't know. But you're going to have that $6 fake coffee drink as opposed to buying somebody food that's nutritious, you know. There's all kinds of ways that you make decisions whereby you decide not to help somebody and you do something else instead.  They're harmed. I suppose you could do that. But then you're causing a lot of harm every day. I mean, don't keep it wrong. I hope you start thinking about this, right? Maybe the next time you go see the movie, it's like, well, I could say somebody's life work and go watch the movie. You know, even something like, my name is streaming services, right? And you're $15 a month, whatever. I want to watch a month of TV or I can feed somebody and save their life. Hmm. My latest show is on. I'm sorry. So, you know, it's like, I'm going to go watch a movie. So, if you really want to say that, you know, letting them starve on the side is the same thing as killing them or same thing as harming them. Okay. I guess you could do that. But then you are actively harming somebody every day, right? You're in action or decision to do something else, harm somebody every day. Okay. So, how exactly have you violated the natural rights? You're not actively harming them. You're not letting the food spoil, not letting the water spoil. So far, not violating natural rights. Do you have a duty to help them? Um, well, I guess maybe you could do that. It's not in Locke's theory. In Locke's theory, you have no duty to help somebody else. You can't interfere with their life, but that's not the same thing as making sure their life goes well, right? You can't interfere. That doesn't mean you have to help them along. I mean, maybe you want to change the duties that we have. So, like you kind of left luck behind.  Because now you have to do things in order to help somebody else's life based upon the decisions that they've made. So, in this case, you no longer have sovereignty over your own apple. Somebody else's decisions or actions or maybe even through no fault of their own, right? But that set of circumstances usurps your own decisions and about acquiring that apple and that property. So, maybe if you want to say you have a duty to help others, okay, or if you could do that, but then, you know, you can say that. But then, by the way, how often have you violated that duty today by, you know, making decisions that could have benefited others, right? Coffee, movies, you know, video games, golly, right? Video games about 60 bucks. There's a lot of people's lives right there. You can say a lot of people's lives is 60 bucks. There's lots of people starving. You can send that food off, they'll live. And if you're worried about finding good charitable organizations, there are watchdog groups for this. It's not hard to look up which charitable organizations are doing good. So, you know, you can do, or even if you don't want to charitable organizations, that's fine, right? Go down H-E-B, buy 60 bucks worth of groceries that are nutritious. They're going to, you know, provide the basic needs to start passing them out to folks. You can do it. So, if you want to say that you have a duty to help others live, to help others, you live their life, maybe it was a basic requirement. It's like, okay, I guess you could do that, right? But then, how many, how often have you failed in that duty today alone? Much less the past week, month, year, life, whatever, right? Now, locks theory doesn't contain a duty to help others. You can't interfere with their lives, but that doesn't mean you have to help them either. You can help them if you want to, but you're not obligated to, right? So, in this case, you haven't violated any natural law. You haven't let the property spoil, the apple spoil, the water spoil. You haven't harmed them, and you don't have a duty to make sure that they're okay either.


I'm a software developer intern at Hackerank and I'm doing my GSOP with Homeview and I'm working on increasing test coverage for brew and I did my outreach with Mozilla. Now for those of you who do not know about Outreachy, Outreachy is basically an initiative of the software freedom convenancy. It's open to participation for women, transgenders and other underrepresented communities. There are two rounds every year for Outreachy. I participated in the last round which was held from December to March and for more information you can find it on genome.org slash Outreachy. Now I did my Outreachy with Mozilla and the project that I worked on was Kinto. So Kinto is basically a minimalist JSON storage service. It has synchronization and sharing abilities. It's basically written in Python and in Firefox it's used for remote settings and storage.sync API. Now a little more about how Kinto is used in Firefox. Now there are two client libraries that are embedded in Firefox. One is the Kinto HTTP client which sends across HTTP requests to the Kinto API to fetch data while the Kinto offline client is used for offline synchronization. Now the applications where this actually is used is one CRL which is basically a list of the revoked certificates. Then it also has a list of add-ons and plugins that are malicious and it protects you from using those and then it's also used in the storage on sync API and it also stores data for A, B testing experiments in iOS. Now coming to the main topic of today that we're discussing which is web push. Now first I'd like to explain the entire terminology of web push, how it all works, what all elements are at play here. There are three things. One is a service worker. A service worker is basically a JavaScript file which works in the background. It handles notifications and also background sync APIs. Now a service worker can only work on a website or webpage that is registered over HTTPS. Coming to the push server. A push server is basically a server that is associated with the browser. It acts as a router between the browser and the web application server. It helps route data from the web application server to the browser. Now the web app server. The web app server is basically the server associated with your web application which sends our information to the user agent, basically the users. Now the entire structure of how it works. So basically when you load a website which has the facility of sending your notifications you see a pop-up which asks you if you'd like to subscribe for notifications. If you click on allow the service worker associated with the web app sends a request to the push server of the browser saying hey I would like to subscribe to notifications and please give me some credentials so I can forward it to the web application server and inform the web application server where to reach out to me. So the push server responds back with two things. One is the encryption keys. Second is the capability URL. Now there are two ways in which information can be accessed over the internet. First is through a password or a token wherein the user who has to access the information has the password or the token. And the other way is the information is available on obscured URLs and people who should have access to that information are the only ones with access to those URLs. Such URLs are called capability URLs. So push server responds back with a capability URL and an encryption key. Once the service worker receives these it needs to send it to the web application server saying hey this is where you can reach out to me and the server, the web application server which I'm calling as the Kinto server here right now in the use case stores the endpoint and the encryption keys. Now when the server has to push information out to the users, it takes the payload which is basically the information that has to be sent across and uses these encryption keys to encrypt the payload and then sends across a request to the push server of the browser, sends a post request basically to the push server saying hey please send this information across and then the push server can send it across to the browser, can send it across to the browser using a UAID. Now a UAID is basically the user agent ID with which a push server recognizes a particular browser. So it sends it across to your browser using the UAID and then the browser routes it across to the particular service worker using a channel ID. Now if the user is not online at that time, then the push server will queue up the message that had to be sent for a particular amount of time, call the TTL which is the time to live header which has to be pre-specified by the web application server. Now coming to the part where we like coming to the part where like the project I'm talking about, the microservices, the microservice that I and my mentor designed to use as the use as the web push microservice. Now considering the use case, we decided that a PubServ paradigm would be best for designing it. Now PubServ is basically a public subscribe in which there are publishers and subscribers. The subscribers choose to subscribe to certain channels according to the information they want to be notified about. And the publishers send across information to a particular channel, it's sent across in one push and the users that have subscribed to a particular channel get the information about it. Now since we need to maintain information about channels and then we also need to save subscriptions, the data about the encryption keys and the capability URLs, we needed two endpoints specifically which would be the slash channels and the slash subscriptions endpoints. And now we also do not want to be using, we do not want to use, we do not want to have user management, basically not having a username or password for using this. So we decided for authentication, we need OAuth to bearer tokens. Now the major question that we had at hand was how to go about designing it, how to go, what language to use, what framework to use, how to go about it. So then we used Kinto.core, Kinto.core is not like a framework, it's basically like a toolkit which you can use to create HTTP REST APIs, it exposes well-defined endpoints and it's built on, built using Kornies, Pyramid and SQL Alchemy Core, SQL Alchemy Core for database sessions in pooling and Kornies and Pyramid for all the HTTP stuff and the REST stuff. Now with Kinto.core you get the independence to customize and also you get a lot of default endpoints. So the only task we had at hand was to add the endpoints we required which was channels and subscriptions that was basically customizing it for our use case. The other endpoints were already there, for example the hard beat endpoint and other endpoints and it also had the ability to handle the authentication for us, handle monitoring for us and also gave us the ability to add cache if we needed. Now coming to the channel endpoint, the channel endpoint is such that if you want to register a new channel, even if the channel does not exist already, you can register it using the put slash channel slash channel ID slash registration and you can add any new channel ID here and to delete a particular channel, you can use delete slash channel slash channel ID slash registration and to get information about a particular channel, say you want to know how many users have registered to a particular channel and how many times information has been pushed out to that channel, you can get that information using get slash channel slash channel ID and to post information to a particular channel, you can use post slash channel slash channel ID. Now coming to the endpoint subscriptions where we need to maintain information about what encryption keys and endpoint URLs have come from a particular user. Post slash subscriptions will let you send information, will let you post the subscription information to the microservice, to the API basically, get slash subscriptions will help you fetch information about subscriptions of a particular user, delete will help you delete all the subscriptions and if you want to delete a particular subscription ID, delete slash subscriptions slash subscription ID will do that. Now coming to the demo part, I'll start the server, it starts using make serve. So it's running on the 9999 port and now to subscribe to a channel, I'm sending a port request to subscribe to the channel and here, as you can see, the server is running at localhost 9999 as I started it earlier and the version is V0 and the channel ID that I'm using is form builder update, it's just a random string that I'm using and the registration endpoint for registering and the auth token that I'm using for authentication. So I have subscribed to that channel. Now to push information to that channel, I can send, I can send the JSON that I have, which is data loss modified and some information to the, I am posting this to the end point slash channel slash channel ID using the authentication token and like I've been able to post it and like I get 202 since it has been accepted. Now I'd like to thank my mentor Remy for helping me and guiding me all through this project and this was my outreach project basically. Now for those of you who would like to start contributing to Kinto, you can find us on GitHub at github.com slash Kinto and you can also join our Slack channel on slack.kintostorage.org and you can also join our IRC channel on IRC.free.node.net and I'm an intern at Hackerang and for those companies who still use the normal phone screening way and use Skype for interviewing, Hackerang for work gives you the ability to conduct interviews online. It's an online assessment platform and also it really helps you get fast in the recruiting process. It helps your recruiters and hiring managers filter out qualified candidates pretty quickly and Hackerang also has Hackerang for community, which is basically where developers can practice their coding skills. Thank you. You can contact me on Gmail and you can follow me on GitHub and Twitter and you can contact me on LinkedIn and that's it. Thank you. My talk got selected pretty late so I did not have a lot of time to prepare so I could prepare only a really short talk. Thank you. Any questions? We have plenty of time for questions. Yes, we have one question there. Thanks for your talk. Could I be able, if I wanted, could I use Kinto and other parts of ... I'm not able to understand what you're saying. If I wanted to use Kinto, could I set up my own push server using Kinto and branch Firefox and point it at my own push server? You can definitely use this. It's basically called ... the microservice that is there is called web push channels and you can definitely use it to integrate it with your web application and you can use it for push notifications. You'll basically have to add a service worker file which will be in JavaScript and you'll have to send a request to the push server. Basically there's an endpoint. I don't remember the exact URL. It's the ... basically the browser's push server. You have to send a request. There's already a function in JavaScript also if you don't want to explicitly send a request. Once you send the request, you'll get back the credentials. Send the credentials to the ... using a push request to this server. There's a running instance of this server on ... I don't remember the URL again, but there's a running instance of this server and you can send a request ... a push request. The subscriptions will be saved and then you can register to whatever channels you want using the ... using a push request and then whenever a notification has to be sent out, that you can trigger by sending a request to the server again and the server will then route it to the push server and then it will be shown to the users using a notification. In fact, you can also use kinto.core for other projects. Kinto.core is basically made out of ... it's made using Pyramid, Cornice, and SQL Alchemy, so kinto.core can be used for a variety of other projects as well. Excellent. Any other question? Any other question? Well, I have a question. So can you give us an idea of the type of performance or maybe hardware requirement to handle ... I imagine this type of system gets a lot of load, a lot of messages going out to browsers all around. Is it a very heavy process? Do you need big servers or is it something that is fairly lightweight and just a regular ... So I'm not aware how what server instance is being used for this, but my mentor, Remy, he works at Mozilla. So he set up the server. So whatever Mozilla uses for their servers, so that is being used for this server, the Wepoch channel server. And so basically, kinto.core handles all the requests that come across in a fast manner. And this is why we chose to use kinto.core. Because there was very little work on our part. Kinto.core already has the ability to handle all the post requests in a really fast manner. So we just had to create a few functions which could handle that particular endpoint. And there were already many custom end points that were there with kinto.core. So yeah, that's about it. Okay, thanks. Any other question? If I don't see you folks, just wait. But okay, if there are no more questions, then let's thank our speaker again. Thank you.
