It's now time for Member's Statements, the Member for Essex. Thank you very much Speaker. Speaker, I want to tell members of this House about two men from my riding of Essex County. Tim Papineau and Chris Applyard. Tim was a firefighter with Windsor Fire and Rescue and Curtis was an iron worker who was working on the job in Welland. Both men were young. Both men were loved and loved their families. Both men had so much more to offer, and both men died as a result of the work that they do and did. One from what could not be foreseen and the other because of something that he could not unsee. And I talk about these two gentlemen today, Speaker, because I think both of these deaths were preventable. I think that in this House we can make all the overtures that we want. We can pass all the bills that we want. We can impose all the regulations we want. But unless there is a concerted effort to enforce those laws, to put the resources behind the health and safety legislation that we put out that has real effect in our communities, unless we put the enforcement measures in place, we'll continue to see these deaths. And I'm tired of it. I don't want to hear a roll call of people we've lost in our communities because they went to work. We have to do better, Speaker. And dedicating a day of the month as health and safety day does not go far enough. We have to impose and implement the resources that are available to ensure that these workers are safe and have the protections when they go to work. Member for Kitchener, Conestoga. Well, thank you, Speaker Nichols. I mean, Speaker... Well, thank you, Speaker. Like so many of my fellow members, I was absolutely thrilled when our government committed to providing low-income seniors with access to publicly funded, high-quality dental care. Over the past year and a half, the low-income seniors in my riding have made it clear to me that financial obstacles are preventing them from visiting the dentist regularly. I've heard from Pauline and her husband, seniors in Batey, who reached out to me to tell me how much they could use these services. Sandy from Kitchener told me how relieved she is that her mother will finally be able to get the dental care she needs. For the first time ever, eligible seniors will have coverage for a comprehensive range of preventative and restorative dental services. We all know how much pain something like a cavity can cause if left untreated. I don't think that I need to remind the members in this chamber that untreated cavities can lead to chronic disease. I was happy to be able to share with my constituents last week that seniors can now apply to our government's new Ontario Seniors Dental Care Program through their public health unit and Ontario.ca. On behalf of my constituents in Kitchener, Conestoga, I would like to thank the Minister of Health, the Honourable Christine Elliott, and the Minister of Seniors and Accessibility, the Honourable Raymond Cho, for all their hard work on this file. With our government's record-spending in health care and education, we are protecting what matters most for the people of Ontario. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Member Statements, the Member for London and West. Thank you, Speaker. This government's decision to slash Conservation Authority flood control budgets by 50%, while also directing no increases to municipal levies is putting Ontarians' lives and property at risk. In my community, the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority has warned that it is simply not possible to absorb the loss of half of its flood control budget without cutting key flood management services, such as flood forecasting and warning systems. In the face of a climate emergency that is increasing the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, it is incomprehensible that this government is cutting funding for essential flood control. But it gets worse, Speaker. Conservation authorities have also been directed to stop all non-mandatory programs, even though these programs receive no provincial funding whatsoever. For Upper Thames River, this means the loss of programs on water quality monitoring and improvement, on tree planting and woodlot management, on invasive species, on species at risk, on curriculum-based environmental education, on trail development, and programs in support of local environmental initiatives. Speaker, instead of listening to climate deniers, I call on this government to join the fight against climate change, help protect Ontarians from flooding, and support the vital work of local conservation authorities like Upper Thames River to protect our communities and preserve our planet. Thank you, Speaker. Member Statements. The Member for Ottawa-West Napaean. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am pleased to rise today to recognize the accomplishments of a dedicated public servant, mentor, and friend. Last week, Claude Bennett, the former member for Ottawa South, was awarded the Order of Ottawa. Claude has had an impressive career of public service. He served on Ottawa City Council from 1961 to 1971, representing capital award and serving as acting mayor. He was elected to this legislature in 1971 and served until 1987. During that time, he spent 14 years in the cabinet of Premier Bill Davis, filling the roles of Minister of Tourism and Recreation, Minister of Municipal Housing and Affairs and Housing, and Minister of Industry. His accomplishments are numerous, and include getting the Ottawa Heart Institute and the Ottawa Courthouse built, and securing funding for the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario's expansion. On a personal note, I will say that Claude has been an invaluable source of wisdom and advice to me as I start my political journey, and for that, I am eternally grateful to him. Please join me in warmly congratulating Claude on this very well-deserved honor. Thank you. Member Statements. Member for Hamilton-West Anne-Castor Dundas. Mr. Speaker, right this very minute, the people in Ontario are experiencing water issues. We have lead in our schools, continued mercury poisoning in grassy narrows and carcinogens in Tottenham. Nestle continues to drain our aquifers, producing over 3 billion plastic water bottles in Aberfoil since 2016. Every day in this house, my colleague and my friend, MPP Mamakwa, raises the appalling luck of clean drinking water in First Nations communities. And now in Hamilton, in my writing of Hamilton-West Anne-Castor Dundas, a truly heartbreaking environmental disaster, 24 billion litres of raw sewage seeped into our beautiful coot's paradise. I'd like to use my time today to recognize and to thank Indigenous women, our water protectors, who have been at the forefront of these water issues. A poignant example of the power of water protectors is that of Kristin Villabrun and Wendy Bush, OjiCree women. In November 2015, these women staged a protest to address sewage waste in Hamilton's harbor and the lack of governmental action to address it. These women sounded the alarm, yet their voices went unheard and unheeded. It is time for all of us to listen to the voices of those on the front lines and commit to protecting our water. Ontarians deserve to know what's in our water. Next we have the member for Guelph. Thank you, Speaker. Today I met with two of the youth taking the government to court over its withdrawal of climate solutions, which jeopardizes our charter protected rights of life, liberty and security of the person. Zoe and Madison came to my office this morning to share their concerns about the future. I want to quote what Zoe said. I'm afraid that so many species that I love will go extinct and that children in the future won't be able to enjoy nature the same way I do. A future this government is actively working against by tearing down wind turbines and relying on climate denial blogs to inform policy. This week, scientists issued their most urgent warning yet that we're headed for 3.2 degrees Celsius, warming if we don't triple our efforts. These kids should not have to resort to the courts to compel this government to act. So no matter how many times the minister invokes my name in this house when talking about the government's environment plan, the bottom line is it's not going to deliver the solutions this province needs and our children deserve. So for the sake of these young people, I will continue to keep fighting and pushing for climate action. And I want to thank Sophia, Madison, Alex, Shelby, Zoe, Shailen and Bayes for having the courage to stand up and take this government to court demanding climate action. Thank you, Speaker. The member from Markham Thornhill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm very happy to rise today to speak about feature possibility for kids, an organization in my riding that empowers the youth to teach leadership skills to children aged 9 to 12. Mr. Speaker, since 2001, over 5,000 youth have participated in this amazing organization.  A feature possibility for kids, youth work one-on-one with coaches to develop personal goals to make an impact on their community. Mr. Speaker, one example that stand out for me is how the group of children made their summer goal to deliver Ketbel Card to sick patient at Markham Thornhill Hospital. Another youth began an anti-bullying campaign at their school with another student created the plan to clean up local park. This program saw kids that they can be a change-makers and inspiration to others. Mr. Speaker, organization like feature possibility for kids are an inspiration for all of us. I hope that my colleagues and I can lead by example and inspire youth to reach for their goals. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Member Stavins, Member for Thornhill. Davenport. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker. I'm grateful for the opportunity to rise today to salute one of our province's biggest creative hubs, my writing of Davenport. Davenport is home to thousands of workers in the creative sector from fine artists and musicians to production designers, writers, actors, directors and game designers. We are proud that a vibrant arts corridor has grown along the West Toronto Railpath anchored by the Museum of Contemporary Art and cutting edge private galleries like Scrap Metal, TPW, Daniel Faria and Clint Ronish. In this junction triangle, the Inuit Art Foundation operates in a new home just down the street from galleries including Aaron Stump Projects, Angel Gallery and Cooper Cole. Renowned artist-run centres, Mercer Union and Art Metropole also call Davenport home. But, Speaker, while creative workers in our community contribute so much, they remain some of the most vulnerable workers in our province. They face challenges finding and keeping affordable places to live and work as rents keep rising and development pushes them out of our neighbourhoods. And this government's $10 million cut to the Ontario Arts Council will mean fewer jobs, smaller grants and less opportunity in the sector. Artists and cultural workers deserve a provincial government that invests in them by making housing more affordable, by extending benefits and workplace protections to contract workers and by supporting the institutions that show their work. Speaker, it's time for a government that showed up for artists. Thank you. Next we have the member for Peterborough Coortha. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The United Way of Peterborough District provides funding for 46 different programs and services within the city and county of Peterborough. Some of the organizations that receive their support are Big Brothers and Big Sisters, the Youth Emergency Shelter and the Canadian Mental Health Association. On November 17th, I had the opportunity to partner with the United Way and one of our local Sledge Hockey Associations, the Coortha Blazers, to hold the first ever Dave Smith United Way Sledge Hockey Challenge. This event featured a number of MPPs, local politicians, Blazers players, and some other celebrities from our community. And it did two things for us. First, we were able to raise close to $20,000 that will be directed back into our community in support of the great work of organizations like I've already mentioned with what they do. Secondly, this provided us with an opportunity to raise awareness about the struggles that someone with a mobility issue has when they're trying to play Canada's favorite pastime. For those of you who have never tried Sledge Hockey, let me describe it to you. You play while seated in a sledge. It's a specially designed sled with two blades on the ice. You propel yourself around the ice using picks that are attached to the ends of your sticks. As the goalie, I was quite effective in stacking the pads by flopping onto my side. Unfortunately, I wasn't as successful in getting back upright once I had flopped over. And I dare say that fact was reflected in the scoreboard. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. Next, we have the member for Flamborough Glenbrook. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'm rising today to speak to the reason that many of us are wearing these ribbons today. It's scleroderma. Scleroderma affects approximately 6,000 Ontarians. It's a rare chronic multi-symptom autoimmune disease that affects the body's connective tissue. The cause of scleroderma is unknown and currently there is no cure. But Mr. Speaker, there are treatments that can help slow the process down and improve the quality and quantity of life for persons who are affected by the disease. But these can be costly or difficult to access. Mr. Speaker, Ontarians living with this rare and debilitating condition face significant physical and emotional challenges, often resulting in feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and being a burden to society. But with despair, there is hope. The Scleroderma Society of Ontario is an organization that is focused on raising awareness, raising funds, and raising support for those with this disease in an effort to find a cure. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to thank John Malcomson and Maureen Sove and the entire team at the Scleroderma Society of Ontario who are here at Queen's Park today. They are dedicated leaders in the fight to find a cure for this little-known but disabling disease. And finally, I would like to invite all members in this house to drop by the Scleroderma reception at five o'clock this afternoon in the legislative dining room. Thank you. Thank you very much. That concludes our member statements for this afternoon.


Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in at the range now. I've got the new Caltech CP 33 CP stands for competition pistol 33 stands for the amount of rounds that it holds This is called a quad stack mag. You can see the way it's loaded. I think I've got 29 or 30 rounds loaded up right now Whoever designed this is a genius now. It does have a heel mag release you push inward and then Grab it by the base plate to eject the magazine. It has an upper receiver that's aluminum picatinny rail across Front side is green fiber optic orange fiber optic adjustable rear sight charging handle right here The lower is polymer Caltech grip there It does have a five and a half inch threaded barrel overall length ten and a half inches nine inch sight radius Ambidextrous thumb safety very light trigger M lock slot there you can put a rail on there for any attachments You want to add to the pistol?

Let's see how it fires The sight picture is so easy to pick up with the green fiber optic front sight down below Some people think the mags are hard to load it's actually not it's quite easy But there is a certain way to do it and it has it in its instruction and the instruction manual will go again The 22 hardly moves the the swingers there will go There it is Fed all through now you can see that it has a bolt there It's being held up by the mag right now, and it does have a bolt release Kind of like a rifle But I'm going to keep talking about this as I dub in some one-handed shooting that I did yesterday This design is very interesting. I already mentioned. It's got a ten and a half inch overall Length to it, but the grip is a bit wider, but it is a nice shooter You know it it's got the threaded barrel which I like because I have a can I'll go ahead and get that ready But the the sight picture is pretty amazing with the rear sight being orange and that is adjustable So you've got an adjustable sight. I I didn't have to adjust it at all. It worked fine out of the case for me The green site just picks up so well with the rear orange site. It does come with 233 round magazines I find that impressive and the the aluminum receiver is a good touch now to disassemble the gun you just take out that Pin that's right above the trigger. Yeah, I had to use a punch to push that out But once you do that this whole thing just comes off. This is a range review I will do a tabletop review on the CP 33 made by Caltech But let me go ahead and get a can we'll throw it on here and see how it does here at 16 and a half inches Overall length with a six inch hunter town guardian suppressor.

Thanks for watching and you guys be safe


Hi. I want to show you some tips and tricks for working with JSON files in Visual Studio. Before we dig in, we have to make sure that we have the JSON Editor experience installed. We're going to open the installer, the Visual Studio installer, and go into the individual components, and make sure that we have the ASPNet and Web Development Tools checkbox checked. If we don't, check it, install it. It's a small little thing to install if you don't have it already. If you already have the ASPNet and Web Tooling or .NET workloads installed, you're likely going to have this as well. But just make sure, and so if we have that installed and we open a JSON file, we're going to see something similar to this. This is an empty file and I'm now going to type a new property. Let's call this ABC. In JSON, properties have to be in quotes, but I don't actually have to type quotes around properties in Visual Studio. I can just type the name of the property and then hit colon. There we go. Inserting the colon will automatically insert the quotes for me. Let's give this a value. Hello. I'm going to hit the quotation mark here again, and it just writes over the end quotation mark. That's nice, and we know this from other languages as well. I just want to make sure that you see that it works here too. Now, let's copy a string of JSON into this editor. Let me just copy this line that I have right here, and I'm going to copy it in after my existing properties. I'm going to hit Enter and I'm going to hit Control-V for Paste. Notice how Visual Studio automatically formatted the string that I pasted, and there's no longer minified in one line as what I was copying. It also inserted the comma after the first property for me to make this document a valid JSON document. There's some logic in here that makes sure that it will keep itself valid if it can. Let me undo once here, and you can see now we have that long one line. I'm going to undo again, and then we're back to where we started. I can also paste this on top, so let's paste it right here, and we see the same formatting happening, and now the comma was added to the end of what I pasted in, again, to make the document valid. The final thing I want to show you here is the light bulbs. We have a light bulb that lets us sort properties alphabetically. Now we can see here ABC is now the first one because alphabetically, it's before friends. It will automatically sort the properties that are on the same level or in the same scope as the one that you're clicking on. That makes it super easy. You're going to nest it objects and arrays and whatnot, and easily order alphabetically in there. There's also a feature for working with schema files. Let's say I want to write a JSON version of a resume. There's a chance that if I look through all the different schemas that are supported, that one of them will be a resume, and it is. These are well-known formats of JSON files that's coming from schemastore.org, which Visual Studio automatically integrates with, and that gives us full intelligence for what a format like this could be. If I were to write a resume, I might use an existing format. It could be something like this. It even makes sure that I don't do any mistakes. Let's say awards here. Let's say I made a spelling mistake here. It will actually call that out saying, hey, no, this is not about property. All that information is coming from the schema. It's coming from schemastore.org, and it's right here in Visual Studio as we type. I can easily go fix this. There we go. That was the first round of Tips and Tricks with JSON. We're going to have another video showing much more about JSON schemas, how to write them, how to use them, so stay tuned for that. Thank you.


Presenting Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons, in The Rented Cottage Murder Case, a new weekly feature on NBC's All-Star Festival of mystery, comedy, music, and drama. Ladies and gentlemen, once again we present Mr. Keen, Tracer of Lost Persons, one of the most famous characters of American fiction in one of radio's most thrilling dramas. Tonight the famous old investigator takes from his file and brings to us one of his most celebrated missing persons cases. Tonight's case is entitled The Rented Cottage Murder. Mr. Keen is presented by Anderson for a fast relief from pain of headache, neuritis, and neuralgia. By Dantine the gum with breathtaking flavor and Beeman's pepsum, the gum that's great to chew and good for your digestion too. And by Chesterfield, ask your dealer for Chesterfield, the only cigarette that names all its ingredients. Every day you hear more and more about an incredibly fast way to relieve the pains of headache, neuritis, and neuralgia. It's Anderson, A-N-A-C-I-N. Now the reason Anderson is so wonderfully fast acting and effective is this. Anderson is like a doctor's prescription. That is, Anderson contains not just one, but a combination of medically proven active ingredients in easy-to-take tablet form. Thousands of people have received envelopes containing Anderson tablets from their own dentist or physician and in this way discovered the incredibly fast relief Anderson brings from pains of headache, neuritis, or neuralgia. So the next time a headache strikes, take Anderson, A-N-A-C-I-N, Anderson, in handy boxes of 12 and 30 economical family size bottles of 50 and 100. Ask for Anderson at any drug counter. Now Mr. Keen, tracer of lost persons in the rented cottage, Murder Kids. Our scene opens as three people are about to enter a gleaming white cottage. It's charm dimmed only by a large real estate sign reading for rent at the lowest rental within a hundred miles of New York. One of the three is the rental agent, the second a man on crutches, the third his wife, and she speaks the words that lead to murder. Mr. Burkitt, you don't mean to say my husband and I can rent this lovely place for twenty five dollars a month. That's the price, Mrs. Haynes, and it's completely furnished. I'll open the door. Careful, Mr. Haynes. The floor has just been waxed. Your crutches may slide. Thanks. I'm all right. Lovely place for twenty five dollars a month, isn't it? Mr. Burkitt, are you sure that's the rent? It doesn't seem possible, does it, Tom? Mr.  From other places my wife and I looked at, this should bring at least two hundred. You're the tenth couple I've shown it to, Mr. Mrs. Haynes, but nobody would touch it. They were afraid. Afraid? Of what? A murder was committed in this cottage. A murder? I wouldn't spend a night here for ten thousand dollars myself. Anyway, that answers your question about the giveaway rent. You better let me show you something else. Well, my husband and I aren't the scary kind, are we, Tom? Besides, beggars can't be choosers. I've told you what I think about this place, Mrs. Haynes. A furnished room somewhere might be safer. Well, what do you think, Tom? You decide, Jenny. It may be unpleasant at first, but there's no reason for anyone to harm us. All right, Jenny. Here's twenty five dollars for the first month's rent, Mr. Burkitt. I wish I had you folks' courage. I'll go to my office and be right back with the receipt. You may change your minds, meanwhile. Jenny, I hope you won't be nervous living here. Murder isn't a nice thing to think about. The only thing I ever worry about is you, Tom. I want you to get well again. And this is just the place for you. I know, Jenny. And I will. Of course you will, dear. I'm simply dying to see the bedroom. I guess this is the door to it. Oh, no. It's a little hall.  Hey, hey, take that gun off me. I might have known. No, no, don't shoot. We'll talk this over. Mr. Keen. While I was in the bedroom, my husband, Tom, was murdered. If only I hadn't rented that cottage for twenty five dollars. But it was so beautiful. And we were so poor. No, no, try to calm yourself, Mrs. Haynes. My partner, Mike Clancy, and I can't help you without hearing your complete story. And that we can't, ma'am. It's a strange story, you tell him. I know, Mr. Clancy. But the memory of seeing my husband dead on the floor with his crutches beside him will haunt me the rest of my life. Then your husband was a cripple, Mrs. Haynes? Oh, no, Mr. Keen. Not really a cripple. Tom was a traveling salesman for a large importing company. An early last winter he made a trip to Canada and fell on the ice. He injured his hip so badly he had to use crutches ever since. I see. He was convinced he'd be a cripple for life and never resume his job as salesman again. I tried to convince him otherwise, but just as I thought I was succeeding, his firm discharged him as physically unfit to carry on his work. Well, a cold-blooded lot for a man to be working for, ma'am. Now, let Mrs. Haynes go on, Mike. Tom's employers didn't put it just that way, Mr. Keen. They sent him a check for $300 and told him when he got better they would try to place him in an office job. I see. The money they sent added to our little savings didn't make much, Mr. Keen. We were almost at the end of it when... when we heard of a charming little cottage for rent at $25 a month. Now, where did you hear about it, Mrs. Haynes? Tom said he saw it advertised and we went out to see it.  Yes, Mr. Keen.  Tom gave Mr. Burkett a month's rent and just after the real estate agent left for his office to make out a receipt, Tom, as I told you, was murdered in cold blood. Mrs. Haynes, you may be sure that Mike Clancy and I will do our best to bring your husband's killer to justice. I know you would, Mr. Keen. That's why I came to you. If you'll write the address of the cottage on this pad and Mr. Burkett's address too, Mike and I will go there immediately. Well, here we are, Mr. Keen, the white cottage. Yes, Mike. And as charming as Mrs. Haynes described it. The door's open. We'll go in, Mike. I see the way it's furnished, boss. Looks like an ad for a furniture store. But on second glance it's all old stuff and ready to fall apart. Mike, every piece of furniture here is a valuable antique imported from England. Well, I'd not give much for it. That old bookcase alone is worth several thousand dollars. Hmm, quite unusual furniture for a small cottage. Well, I guess Mrs. Haynes' husband was standing about where I am, Mr. Keen. Facing the front door when he was shot. Yes, Mike. And I imagine this door behind us leads to the bedroom hall. Listen, Mike, there's someone in the bedroom.  I'll go first, boss. Very well, Mike. Hold still, me buckle. Who the devil are you? My name is Keen and this is my partner, Mike Clancy. Mr. Keen, the famous investigator? Well, that's different. Glad to meet you. My name is Orville Burkett. The man who rented this cottage to the murdered Tom Haynes? Yes, Mr. Keen. And nobody can say I didn't warn him not to rent it. I told him and his wife it was a murder house. I wouldn't spend a night here for ten thousand dollars. I notice you've moved the bed into the middle of the room and everything else as well. May I ask what you're looking for? A pair of crutches, Mr. Keen. A pair of crutches? When Mr. Haynes and his wife rented the place, he was on crutches. When the police came after he was murdered, the crutches were gone. They couldn't find him, I thought I might. Boss, Mrs. Haynes didn't tell us about the crutches being gone. She probably forgot to make her sorrow and shock. Mr. Keen, I take it Mrs. Haynes has engaged you to get herself in the clear. Mrs. Haynes asked me to find her husband's killer. If that's what you mean, Mr. Burkett? Not at all. She was alone in the house with her husband when he was shot to death. Personally, I'm inclined to go to the police and suggest they arrest her for the murder. Well, listen to that, boss. He's trying to get himself off the spot. Mr. Clancy, are you suspecting me of murdering a man I'd never seen before and whom I warned not to rent this cottage? Well, if you ask me, you could have doubled back when you went for the rent receipt and murdered Mrs. Haynes's husband while she was in this bedroom. That's true, Mr. Clancy, but I didn't. I just a moment, Mike. No doubt Mr. Burkett can explain why we find him here in what seems to be suspicious circumstances. I came here to meet the owner of the cottage, Mrs. Herbert Lorraine. Mrs. Herbert Lorraine? The wealthy Dowager. Yes, Mr. Keen, and she'll return here any minute. She went out for a sandwich and tea. I took advantage of her absence to look for the missing crutches. I see. And that gives me an idea that may give you a clue to Mr. Haynes' murder. It does, Mr. Burkett. The other person murdered in this house was Mrs. Lorraine's husband and under the same circumstances. Mrs. Lorraine's husband was murdered here? Yes, Mr. Keen. That's why she gave me orders after Mr. Lorraine's death to rent the place for anything I could get. That explains a great deal. And also presents a strange coincidence. And that it does, Mr. Keen, sir. But I'm wondering, Mr. Burkett. Yes, Mr. Clancy. Are you going to tell us Mr. Lorraine was crippled like Mr. Haynes was? And that his crutches were missing too following his murder? No, Mr. Clancy. But the odd thing is that Mr. Lorraine had a deep sympathy for anyone who was crippled. He gave generously to cripples. A large number called on him here and he never turned one away. Pretty story, that. It may be true, Mike. Mr. Burkett. Mr. Burkett. That's Mrs. Lorraine now. Oh, I didn't know anyone was with you. Mrs. Lorraine, this gentleman is Mr. Keen, the famous investigator. How do you do, Mr. Keen? How do you do, Mrs. Lorraine? This is my partner, Mike Clancy. Pleased to meet you. I'm glad somebody called on you to solve this dreadful murder in my cottage, Mr. Keen. I'm making the investigation in behalf of Mrs. Haynes, the murdered man's widow. That poor woman. I understand how she must feel. Mr. Burkett told me your own husband met his death here in much the same way. A year ago, Mr. Keen. I suppose Mr. Burkett told you that the Mr. Haynes who rented this cottage and was murdered was a former employee of my husband's old firm, the Lorraine Import Company. I couldn't have told Mr. Keen that, Mrs. Lorraine, because you didn't tell me. It's the first I ever heard of it. Don't you remember, Mr. Burkett? I told you when you informed me of the murder, and you said it was a mere coincidence. Mrs. Lorraine, with all respect, I think your memory is failing. Mrs. Lorraine, I'd like to speak to you privately. Will you step into the hall with me? Surely, Mr. Keen. Mrs. Lorraine, it's very puzzling. Why, Mr. Burkett, failed to tell me the murdered man was a former employee of your husband's company. Mr. Keen, I know I told him. My husband often spoke of a Mr. Haynes. He was a traveling salesman for the company. You recall how long ago he was discharged from his job because he was crippled? Because he was crippled? Why, no. But I scarcely could know on my husband's death his business was sold, the present owner is named Ambrose Carter, I believe. Mr. Ambrose Carter? I've scribbled that name down. From what I hear, Mr. Carter is quite a different man from what my husband was. Mr. Burkett, the rental agent says your deceased husband had a warm spot in his heart for anyone who was crippled, and that a number of cripples came here and he gave them money. Is that true? Yes, Mr. Keen. My husband used this cottage as a sort of hideaway, but they found him many on crutches. Is it true that you commissioned Mr. Burkett to rent this cottage for the small sum of $25 a month? Yes, Mr. Keen, and completely furnished. My husband was murdered here. I understand. Thank you, Mrs. Lorraine. Mr. Keen, about that poor Mrs. Haynes whose husband was murdered here, too, is she in good financial circumstances? I'd like to help her.  I realize from tragic experience how she feels. I hope to see you again. Mike, would you come here, please? Sure, Mr. Keen. I believe Mrs. Lorraine has given me the clue to solve the murder in this cottage. She has? We will now visit the present owner of the Lorraine importing company, Mr. Ambrose Carter. Yes, Mr. Keen. And on the way, I'll phone the police. It's possible, Mr. Burkett, that the real estate man is connected with the murder. Mr. Keen will return in just a moment in the rented cottage murder case. But first, here's something of interest to you. For breathless moments. For your breathless moments. Chew dentine. The gum with breath-taking flavor. Dentine tastes so good. Dentine freshens your breath. Dentine helps keep your teeth sparkling clean and white. Dentine, the gum with breath-taking flavor.  You'll love dentine chewing gum. For dentine has a wonderful, tingling, nippy flavor that lingers on and on. It's delicious. And remember, dentine helps keep your teeth white, too. Keep dentine handy.  So for breathless moments. For your breathless moments. Chew dentine. The gum with breath-taking flavor. Now back to Mr. Keen and the rented cottage murder case. Mr. Keen and his partner, Mike Clancy, are investigating the murder of Tom Haynes, a young salesman crippled and on crutches who was shot to death seemingly without motive in a charming white cottage. He and his wife Jenny had just rented for the unbelievable sum of $25 a month. Mr. Keen has questioned Orville Burkett, rental agent, who was suspiciously near at the time of the murder. Also the wealthy owner, Mrs. Lorraine, who offered the cottage at such low rent because her own husband was murdered there a year ago. Now Mr. Keen and Mike are approaching the office of the Lorraine Import Company, where the murdered Tom Haynes had worked and which Mrs. Lorraine's husband had owned. He's come to see the new owner, Ambrose Carter, and we hear Mr. Keen saying, Here's the Lorraine Import Company's office, Mike. And the sign on the door says, Ambrose Carter, President, Mr. Keen. Do you gentlemen wish to see someone? Yes, Mr. Ambrose Carter, if he's in. I'm Ambrose Carter. My name is Keen, and this is Mike Clancy, my partner. Mr. Keen, the private investigator? I'm investigating the murder of Tom Haynes. I understand he was employed by you, Mr. Carter. Tom Haynes worked here until six months ago. I'm surprised to hear he was murdered. You hadn't heard then? No, Mr. Keen. Where was he murdered? At Lorraine's cottage, a few minutes after he had rented it. Does that ring any bells for you, Mr. Carter? None, Mr. Clancy. I'm sorry. But I'm afraid I have no information for you. You're in the importing business. May I ask what you import? A little of everything, Mr. Keen, from all corners of the world. I notice a case filled with surgical supplies in the next room. Even a display of crutches. Do you import them, Mr. Carter? Yes. Those came from France. But since I took over the business from Mr. Lorraine's estate, we're discontinuing that line. Tom Haynes was on crutches when he was murdered, Mr. Carter. Was he really? I didn't know he used crutches. I'm informed you discharged him because he was a cripple. See, he couldn't continue his work as a traveling salesman. Then you were misinformed, Mr. Keen. Who told you that? The murdered man's widow, Jenny Haynes, told me. That's wrong. Her husband quit his job here. Mr. Carter, may Mike Clancy and I look at one of those crutches in the case? You certainly may not. The case is locked. Well, I'll open it up and get a pair out anyway, Mr. Keen. I never mind, Mike. We'll bid Mr. Carter goodbye now. Glad to have met you, Mr. Keen. I hope I didn't give you any wrong impressions. I understand. Good day. Mr. Keen, sir, why are we leaving so fast? He's sufficiently alarmed as it is, Mike. My request to look at the crutches in that case shocked him. Oh, yes, it did. And I picked this card off the floor. Why, it's Mr. Carter's own card. Expressing sympathy at the death of the murdered man. Undoubtedly, it was to be sent with a floral offering to Tom Haynes' funeral. Well, Carter said he didn't know Mr. Haynes was dead, boss. The sinister connection between Carter's office, Mrs. Lorraine's cottage, the agent, Orville Burkett, who rented it to the murdered men, and the crutches. Yes, boss. I'm going to ask Lieutenant Hale of the police to confiscate a pair as murder evidence. Well, what's the next move, Mr. Keen? We'll return to the office immediately, Mike, and put certain things into operation. Mr. Keen, sir, a lot of water has gone over the dam. Considering we've been back here in the office under an hour. So it has, Mike. And this record I just found in our files should end the case. I know exactly who our killer is. Hello, Mr. Keen speaking. Yes, Lieutenant Hale. You have the crutches from Mr. Carter's office and are sending them over. Good. I suggest then that you arrest all the suspects I named to you and send them to the murder cottage. Yes, I'll deliver the murderer to the police there. Good-bye. Shall I get the car now, Mr. Keen? Somebody's at the door, Mike. Mr. Keen, Mr. Clancy. Mrs. Haynes, what happened? Mr. Burkitt, the rental agent found out where I lived.  Sense preservous.  I'm scared to death. Mike Clancy and I will protect you, Mrs. Haynes. There's nothing to fear now. And when I got to our room, it had been ransacked. Even parts of the paper torn off the wall. I'm not surprised, Mrs. Haynes. Now Mike and I will take you with us to the death cottage. Hurry, Mike, to the car. Ring the doorbell, will you, Mike? Don't be frightened, Mrs. Haynes. Oh, Mr. Keen, I'm so relieved it's you. The cottage is surrounded by policemen. Mr. Burkitt and Ambrose Carter are in the bedroom. The police arrested them both. Oh, Mrs. Lorraine, this is Mrs. Haynes, the murdered Tom Haynes widow. Thanks for offering to help me, Mrs. Lorraine. My husband was murdered here, too, Mrs. Haynes. Mr. Keen, I can't understand, but Mr. Burkitt advised me to move all the furniture out of the cottage. He says you'll put it in storage. Mrs. Lorraine, you say Mr. Burkitt and Ambrose Carter are in the bedroom? Yes, Mr. Keen. I'll open the door. Is this your doing, Keen, having me arrested? Yes, Mr. Burkitt. But first, tell me why you attempted to have Mrs. Lorraine move the furniture out of here. Because I think the cottage would be easier to rent that way, considering the circumstances. I see.  Why, Mr. Keen? Yes, Mr. Carter. Are those crutches Mr. Clancy is carrying? The ones you told me Tom Haynes had when he was murdered? No, Mr. Carter. There a pair the police took from the display case in your office. What's that? The supporting hand bar unscrews and supplies a clever way to conceal narcotics. There's no dope in those crutches, Mr. Keen. I said they furnish a good hiding place. That was all. Mr. Carter, why did you phone Mrs. Haynes to stay away from this cottage in peril of her life? I was afraid this rental agent Burkitt would murder her like he murdered her husband. Let me at Carter, I'll tear him apart. Oh, still Burkitt, or I'll drill you. Mr. Burkitt, the police found the murdered men's crutches in the attic of your house. They are a duplicate of the dope-carrying ones taken from Mr. Carter's office. Why, I don't know how they got there. I know how, Mr. Burkitt. How, Mr. Keen? Mrs. Lorraine put them there after she murdered Tom Haynes. The nice lady who offered to help me? Tom's murderer? Yes, Mrs. Haynes. Try to prove it, Keen. In the rush, Mrs. Lorraine, you dropped a monogrammed handkerchief beside the crutches in Mr. Burkitt's house next door. And here's your criminal record, Mrs. Herbert Lorraine. What? You were in the dope racket before you married Herbert Lorraine. He was a trusting husband, so you conceived the plan of making capital of his sympathy for cripples by designing this clever type of crutch to transport narcotics. Keep on dreaming, Keen. The cripples who came here came to get narcotics from you as your peddlers. They weren't cripples. And when your husband discovered what you were, you murdered him in this cottage. The soft fool turned on me, was going to get the police. I had to murder him, Keen. You will be tried and convicted for the murder of your husband and the murder of Tom Haynes. Take her out to the police, Mike. Come along, Mrs. Lorraine. One thing you didn't figure, Keen, was why I offered to rent this cottage for twenty-five dollars a month. Oh, yes. The game was for your accomplice in the dope racket to offer it for twenty-five dollars and then terrorize prospective tenants not to take it. In that way, you could retain it to conceal a king's ransom in dope you had hidden in the furniture here.  That's right, Keen. I'd rather take the rap for dope than for murder. Mr. Keen. Yes, Mrs. Haynes? You say Mrs. Lorraine murdered my husband, Tom. Well, why? Why? Why would she want to kill him? It may help you bear your sorrow, Mrs. Haynes. To know your husband was part of a dope ring, too. No. Tom was? He knew Mrs. Lorraine kept hundreds of thousands of dollars in narcotics concealed in her costly furniture here. That's why he rented the cottage. That's why he couldn't be frightened by the murder story. And that's why Mrs. Lorraine murdered him. Oh, oh, Mr. Keen. Your life will be better without him. And so, Mr. Keen finds the solution to the Ratted Cottage murder case. The mask is off. The mask is off in cigarette advertising. Chasterfield is first to name all of its ingredients because you should know what gives you the best possible smoke. The right combination of the world's best tobaccos, pretested by laboratory instruments for the most desirable smoking qualities, and kept tasty and fresh with tried and tested moistening agents, pure natural sugars, chemically pure, harmless, far more costly glycerol, nothing else.

Hi, this is your host, Bheem Bhartiya, and welcome to TFR. Let's talk. Today we have with us George Castro, developer relations at CNCF. You're at the AI.Depth conference. I was supposed to be there as well, but I had to change my plans at the last moment. So I'm missing the conference. So I wanna hear from you. How has been the conference so far? It's been amazing. It feels like I've learned six months' worth of technology in about one and a half days, not even counting the hallway conversations, but it's always good to see large organizations that are doing AI at scale be able to share their expertise. So interesting talks this morning from NVIDIA, Amazon, hugging faces on earlier. Just seeing the level of scale that people are doing cloud native deployments and AI on top has been really... So probably I'm like, you know that it's happening, but when you get into the technical details and someone's in a talk and they're kind of talking about the numbers, once you see all the zeros at the end, you start to understand the level of scale that we're talking about, that even in a cloud native context is still much larger than we've seen in the past and that's always very exciting. Today's main topic is Genitive AI. Of course, because of this conference, when I was at KubeCon and Cloud Recon in Chicago, Genitive AI was a major discussion point here. A lot of companies, they are using Genitive AI in products and production. I want to hear from you. What does Gen AI mean for cloud native at the same time? What does cloud native mean for Gen AI? First of all, there are organizations that are built their AI on type of Kubernetes, Bloomberg, CERN, OpenAI, NVIDIA. I already mentioned Huggingface. So there are organizations out there that have been doing that and it's due to Kubernetes' extensible nature. We're always talking about the API driven, being able to extend outside the core primitives and things like that. Now that it's been a few years of having these things in production, I think CERN's demo two years ago was kind of talking about all of these things. And now that these end user organizations have been out figuring out at that level of scale because you can't figure it out unless you're doing it at scale. Now is the time when there's interest on bringing those primitives and lessons learned back into Kubernetes to kind of give people that more out of the box batteries included experience that they expect from invisible infrastructure. So in Kubernetes itself, you're seeing a bunch of caps which are Kubernetes enhancement proposals over the past year and you're gonna keep seeing them coming up more around dynamic resource allocation, batch scheduling and just things that remove a lot of the complexity for getting high throughput, low latency workloads in there and AI is kind of a natural fit to that. So as Kubernetes is turning 10 next year, we kind of moving from the mindset of web apps to workloads that look more like AI. So Clayton Coleman said that inference is the new web app and that is something that was mentioned during one of the keynotes at KubeCon, CloudNativeCon in Chicago and has been one of the kind of mantras that you're hearing core developers and people that are involved in the core kind of repeating over and over again to themselves is that the end users as AI has come to take over are pushing CloudNative in this manner due to the extensibility of the API and for us it's just trying to grab those common patterns and put it in a way that commoditizes it, puts it upstream and so that end users can get that economies of scale and that's why they choose CloudNative to begin with. So yeah, it's a very exciting time right now. Now, time passes by so fast. It's been almost 10 years since Kubernetes came to exist and it's been used in production and there are so many awesome use cases, of course like CERN that and thousands of course. I feel that Kubernetes is a technology of same magnitude scale as is the Linux kernel. It's a very mature foundations for organizations to build their products and services on top of it. Can you talk about how does this maturity of Kubernetes and the CNC of hosted CloudNative technologies? Yeah, so if you consider Kubernetes like the kernel, right it's the kernels are very interesting in the early days, right? And then eventually people care about the application. So as Kubernetes kind of gains these primitives and becomes less important, we start to look at other things in the CloudNative landscape, projects like Kubeflow or Volcano or there's 174 projects in the CloudNative landscape and all of them are now starting to find new niches and new uses for what AI users are looking for. So for everything from Coverno to OPA that's policy that you can run on your cluster, you're gonna want that for your AI stuff as well, right? So for a lot of them, it's once the bottom kernel primitives are handled, they're already kind of leaning forward in the saddle and many of these projects are being used in production. Kubeflow just had a release in November and has been used in production for a very long time. It's one of the earliest AI projects on top of CloudNative. And now that it's just hitting production, AI in general is just hitting production in so many places. And now's the time for those projects to kind of shine and for us, that's where the importance of having those healthy community processes to ensure that these projects continue to remain sustainable from a contribution perspective because the more production users you get, the more issues you're gonna find and that virtuous cycle of contributors and consumers, we need to make sure that that's healthy and that's pretty much my day job, right? Make sure the contributors are finding places where they can express themselves and contribute and learn and do what they want to do, what they get out of open source, that's the reason you contribute, but also be able to provide value to those end user companies that wanna consume the projects and doing that together in a way that's fair and neutral and fun for everybody and inclusive is, I mean, that's kind of the mission. And as organizations are embracing GenITAI with cloud native technologies, what are some of the pain points that they have to deal with, whether it's about hardware, infrastructure, scalability, security, and how is CNCF community helping them or can't help them? There's three places. The first is gonna be hardware enablement, GPUs, TPUs, dynamic resource allocation. There's a Kubernetes enhancement proposal that is one of the, is very busy. That's where a lot of activity is happening right now. And there's been a lot of work in batch scheduling as well that has been landed over the past 18 months. That's kind of quiet. I was surprised, it felt for me when I discovered it, it was kind of flying under the radar that kind of is important stuff. And kind of making that stuff simpler for people is something that Kubernetes has always kind of struggled with, right? Like making it simpler for people while keeping it powerful and extensive sometimes feels like mutually exclusive features. And then the last bit is going to be the applications themselves. I think things like keep flow are just the beginning of applications on top. There's still, in the Kubernetes space, we're kind of still concentrating on keeping the field, fertilized and ready to go so that when the seeds come that they're healthy and ready to go. And we're still in the early days of this where we need to get, especially the hardware enablement stuff kind of sorted out in a way that's, you shouldn't have to be certain to get the stuff, right? And one of the great things about the model is being able to have the end users participate in open source as closely as they have been. A lot of these organizations have been involved deeply with open source so that you get the stuff faster. And for us, it's making sure that that process is as efficient as possible. And that's why we do it all in the open. So when I mentioned Ikep, anyone in the community can participate, you can listen in, there's no secret meeting, as far as I know, and you can just participate in the meetings and all the issues and things like that. And that's kind of what people wanna see. When there's a transformative technology like this, there's always people who understand that it needs to be open and collaborative and that's the way to move an industry forward. And the way we do that in open source is just by doing it, right? It's like, here's the GitHub issue, you can subscribe to it and you participate. And organizations that are leaning forward in the cloud data space are the ones that are really being able to accelerate their own efforts so they can build what they want. It becomes a bit tricky when you talk about open source as well because it's not as easy as the lab stack. There are four or five components and they're all open source. The Biden administration also came out with an executive order to kind of issue that AI, Genetic AI is safe for human consumption. So can you talk a bit about open source and Genetic AI? I think it's a whole new skill set of people. Here at the cluster level, I got a lot of ops background, container nerds doing that kind of thing. I've met people at this conference, students, data scientists, this entirely different skill set of people that bring an entirely new outlook on how to solve a problem, right? Because we can't really design a thing by ourselves, right? Like we can't just make a thing and say, here, consume it. That's a process that involves both the end user and the people that are producing it at different levels. So down to the cluster hardware level, all the way up to the people that are consuming the projects that I talked about earlier that are gonna be doing that. And I think it opens it up for a bunch of people who are less technical when it comes to the operational stuff, right? Like we want them to do their science, not have to worry about the scalability of their cluster and things like that. So I think it's a tremendous opportunity to bring a new diverse set of skill sets into open source that is always exciting. Like, you know, open source has been, you and I have been around a while, right?  And when's open source going to reach the rest of the scientific fields in the world, right? And with data science, that's just happening. So being able to see people that might not have any knowledge about the cloud native stuff, but have deep knowledge on AI and things like that. And it's just, it's a good melding of, you know, they have a place they wanna go. We have the tools, we just need to know how to get them there. And it's the same problem for them except the other way around. So that leads to a lot of interesting discussions and seeing familiar faces, but also a bunch of new faces who have never experienced open source. And if this is their gateway into open source, you know me, I'm all about that. That's how we move forward. And when we look at Genetic UI, we do talk about developer and actually even at the KubeCon, the CloudNuttyCon, we had a lot of discussions about the whole developer experience. Can you talk a bit about when we look at CNCF and your role as developer relation, what plans do you folks have to enable, empower, engage developers with all these open source projects that you folks have? Yeah, so for me, it's all about efficiency, right? When we built a lot of the processes, the open source processes and things like Kubernetes and CloudNative in that first decade, right? Now it's about making that even more efficient. Before it was really, you could kind of afford to only hang out in the CloudNative area. But with something like AI, it brings in all sorts of different foundations and all sorts of software projects. So now PyTorch is involved, totally different foundation. Apache is an important player in this space. The CNCF itself, the rest of the Linux Foundation projects, all of a sudden you have this common thread of AI that kind of ties it all together and each part of the stack is getting exercise now. And it almost feels like the first 10 years you had different pockets of technology that were evolving at different rates built around that open source substrate. But now in order for AI to succeed due to the scale that you have to have, like you can't not do this unless you have the scale. Now it's really, I'm starting to see a lot more cross-collaboration, starting to see people who are wearing multiple hats and multiple organizations kind of trying to tie it all together. So you might see someone that has one foot in CloudNative and one foot in the OpenSSF Foundation or one in the AI and then one in the CloudNative. And then there's another person that has one in all three. All kind of going towards the same mission on how we can have the technology serve the end user in a way that's sustainable for contributors. So it's a lot of the common patterns and it comes down to more human organization than the technology itself. And that's our generational challenge, I think. Being able to scale that across multiple organizations, multiple tech stacks in a way that's sustainable I think is our next 10-year goal. All of the content here, all of the projects I've talked about, all of the talks here are all available online. You mentioned growing up with the LAMP stack, right? I remember struggling days trying to figure out your LAMP stack. These days, the amount of software, it's the opposite problem. You're overwhelmed with the amount of software and content out here. The amount of expertise that's available on the YouTube channels for this conference alone is immeasurable, like if you're students or you're just getting starting in this technology, we're here, you know? We're documenting everything the best that we can. And we're just looking for more people to dive in and get involved. So all of these projects, always looking for contributors, writing things like contributor guides, mentorship programs. That's always something that's on front of mind for us. So don't be afraid to dive in. It's always a learning process and we strive to be a place where you can learn and do what you wanna do. Build what you want. I mean, I don't even have to mention that, but the fact is that it is cloud-native, it is complicated. It was not meant to be easy. But when it comes to Genetic UI, how do you see that the whole CNC of ecosystem helping customers deal with this complexity? That's a hard problem, right? It's like, you see all this stuff and you want it.  And we're, you know, how are we supposed to consume this? And, you know, a lot of it is just having the foresight to dive in. What I like to tell people is just being involved doesn't mean that you have to, you know, figure it all out by yourself. And a lot of places, just being in the room and just being able to keep track of things are going and being smart about where you put your time and where you wanna contribute. So what I tell people is find out what's most important to you and just get involved and you'd be surprised how much just by reading the release notes of software that you, you know, might be interested in after a little while, you start to learn things. And when you come to a conference is one of the great places where you can go to get up to speed with people who have been in your shoes before. There's nobody in this, everyone who's at these conferences has been a novice at one point. And we've been around long enough and know enough about open source sustainability that the only way this works is by ensuring that everybody else is also learning from each other. So what I try to tell people is don't be afraid to say when you, you know, you need help or you want to be able to spin them on technology and there's plenty of people there available to help you do that kind of thing. Because this really is one of those things where as an industry, the health of the entire industry and how people consume this technology is part of the open source model. Like we can't have a healthy ecosystem unless this is on front of mind. So that's why we kind of take it seriously. And yeah, that's why we take it seriously. You know, if you're not, if you're not having a good time consuming this stuff then, you know, I'm gonna work a little bit harder to make sure you can. So when everybody has that attitude, we move forward and we iterate and we move as fast as we can. You folks have, you know, especially interest group or SIGS, you know, or working groups, talk a bit about if there are any special interest groups focused on Genetic AI. So a lot of the things in the CNCF are going to be to support those AI workloads. So there's a few SIGS and working groups that we should mention. SIG node in Kubernetes right now is a hot topic that's where people are looking. There are two batch working groups, one at the Kubernetes level and one at the CNCF level. And there's almost each of the meetings that I sit in on a lot of CNCF project meetings and there's an AI topic being discussed probably every single day. And you know, I'm only attending a fraction of those meetings. So it's one of those things where it's find out the thing that's interest you and if you sit in a meeting, someone's going to bring up AI at one point and then that's where you can start, right? And that's the thread that you can pull on in and get started. I mean, when you look at the adoption of Genetic AI and apprehension and fear, I think it was the same when it was in the early days of Linux kernel or when the Docker containers came out or when we started talking about, hey, everybody should move to the cloud and all the apprehensions about cloud or Kubernetes. So it feels like, you know, that we are just going to the same cycle when it comes to Genetic AI and things will mature over time. Major, thank you so much for taking time out today and talk about Genetic AI in the context of CNCF, Kubernetes, Cloudative. Thanks for all those great insights and I would love to chat with you again soon. Thank you. Yeah, hope to see you in Paris. Thanks.


So what is my favorite feature of the Azure Cloud Shell? So just aside from the ability to open up a Cloud Shell or a Shell inside of your Azure portal, I would have to say my favorite feature is that we've packed some really good applications into the Cloud Shell for you by default. Not to mention that you just click a button and that Shell pops open and is authenticated to your subscription. But we have tools, popular DevOps tools like Packer and HashyCorp Terraform. And that allows you to do things like take a Terraform code base, put it right into your Azure Cloud Shell, which is using persistent storage by the way. And you can actually run that Terraform code. You can have it actually spin up resource groups, build VMs, build networks all through that Cloud Shell. It's a great way to test really quickly. If you've got some code, you want to see what it does. You want to see how it works. Really, really great resource. And also, the Azure command line interface, the AZCLI, is built in as well and it's authenticated. You can use that to do things like check on servers, build things. Anything you can do with the AZCLI, you can do that in the Cloud Shell as well.


Hello everybody! In this video, I'm going to show you how to create a file and share it via torrent. Briefly, I will tell you what a torrent is, how to use it and how to create your own torrent file. If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore removed browse in history. Hetman Software products will help you. Follow the link in the description, download the necessary program for free, install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog, you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles. These days, you can often hear folks talking about downloading something from torrent. But what does it mean? If you don't know it yet, I'll try to brief you on that in a few words. Over the several decades that the internet has been around, people invented lots of ways to transfer their data. Yet until now, torrent is one of the quickest and most convenient. You can use it easily to send a file or folder to your friends. This is just what you need if the piece of content you want to share is too big, and squeezing it through email or social media is out of the question. For example, let's take a video of over 1 gigabyte in size. The easiest solution to transfer it would be to create a torrent file and send it to your friend in any way you like. The file itself is tiny, a few dozen kilobytes. And then he or she will download the content at the maximum speed possible. The phrase download from torrent means to download a file from the internet using a special technology known as BitTorrent. Any file, be it a game, movie or program consists of parts known as bits. On the internet, one and the same file, for example a movie, can be stored on computers of many users. If you want to download a movie from torrent, it will be downloaded in parts bit by bit from various sources. And while all parts are downloaded, they will form a single file. Due to downloading from a multitude of user computers, a high download speed can be achieved. Another considerable advantage is that you can pause and resume the download process at any time, without losing the data that has been already saved to your computer. So in simple words, torrent is a technology to download files from the internet in parts or in bits from different sources. Now what is a torrent file? All the information about the file you want to download from torrent is stored in a special file with a corresponding extension – .torrent. This little file determines the location your file will be downloaded from, specifies its size, how many parts it has, and how it should be downloaded. Torrent file is opened with a special program, a torrent client, which can read its contents and download the data specified there. So how can you use a torrent? In order to download anything from torrent, you only need two things. A torrent file containing data on what you want to download, and a torrent client that can open and download the data specified in the file with .torrent extension. Now the question is, how to create a torrent and share it? Let's examine two methods based on the two most popular apps of this kind. So the first thing you do is to download a torrent client if you don't have it yet. I will illustrate it with the example of U-Torrent. Install and start this utility. In the window that opens, click File, Create New Torrent. You can see there is a shortcut to quickly create a file, just press Ctrl plus M.  If there are several files for sharing, it would be better to put them into one folder and avoid creating several torrents one for each file. After you specify the file or folder, click Create, select the directory where to save the torrent file, and click Save. A small window appears with the utility, asking you if you want to proceed without specifying the tracker. Click Yes. That's all. The torrent is ready. I recommend creating a special folder for all your torrents to save the trouble of having to rummage through all the directories in search of a certain file. Now, you need to add the torrent for sharing. To do it, start the utility again. Click File and select Add torrent. Give the path to the file you have created before and click Open. You will see another small window. Click Yes. Now the shared file will appear on the list of torrents with the corresponding status. Right-click on it and select For a start. Now the torrent file is ready for sharing. The last step is to send the little torrent file to the person whom you want to share your file with. This person will also have to download the torrent client and use it to open the file received from you. Add torrent. And the download will start immediately. When the download is over, you will see a corresponding notification. Another popular torrent client is MediaGat. It is an improved tool turned into a full-featured media center that can both search and download necessary files. Creating a torrent file in MediaGat is even easier than in the previous app, so anyone can handle these tasks, even those who have very limited computer skills. It takes a few steps. Use the mouse to drag the file you want to share into the lower left corner of the MediaGat window. That's just what it says here. Now the app will generate a link that you need to send to your friend. By following the link, he or she can download the torrent file. That's all you need to share files with MediaGat. The status of shared file is marked with certain colors to inform the user. Green means the file is being shared. Yellow says the file image has been uploaded, but the link is not generated yet. Red warns you there is a problem. There could be several things to turn the color indicator to red. Your internet service provider doesn't give you an IP address. It happens when you use a dynamic IP address, so the solution is to arrange yourself a static IP address. Firewall is blocking all connections. The solution is to configure it properly. The UPNP function in your router is disabled or not supported. Turn it on or place the router. Finally, if you need to stop sharing a file via torrent, there are two ways of doing it. Right-click on the shared file and select Stop. Or just exit the app. Too many files being shared can limit the speed available for incoming data. It means less bandwidth for your browser, YouTube videos, etc. So in order to limit the upload speed for shared files, right-click on the shared file, select Bandwidth Allocation, set Upload Limit, and specify Speed Limitations.
