Periscid-vide catriaphobia is a fear of Friday the 13th. Today millions of people are on edge, fearing a calamity with personal or global repercussions, broken leg, a stock market crash, or the trigger pulled for World War III. To be fair some bad things in history did happen on Friday the 13th. The World War II bombing of Buckingham Palace took place on Friday the 13th, 1940. Rapper Tupac Shakur died on Friday, September 13, 1996. But some good things happened as well. The famous Hollywood sign was unveiled on Friday, July 13, 1923, and the accordion was patented on Friday, January 13, 1854. Okay, maybe the accordion thing is actually bad, not good, but that's beside the point. The question is, why does Friday the 13th scare us so much? I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird Darkness. Welcome, Weirdos, I'm Darren Marlar and this is Weird Darkness. Here you'll find stories of the paranormal, supernatural, legends, lore, the strange and bizarre, crime, conspiracy, mysterious, macabre, unsolved and unexplained. Coming up in this episode, a father locked his kids in a trailer while going out to get drunk but the supernatural makes him pay for it. A nonbeliever in the supernatural is forced to rethink his beliefs when he almost dies of fright. Not all monsters in the closet are imaginary, as one parent found out. Most stories of people being abducted by aliens or being experimented on by extraterrestrials are often chalked up to something like sleep paralysis. But what if the aliens leave behind scars on your body that cannot be explained? And later, what's the deal with Friday the 13th? When did it begin? Is there anything to it? Is there anything we can do about it? Why does Friday the 13th scare us so much? But first, we head to 1897 Boston where a young woman is found dead, strangled and the only eyewitness is a blind man.

The strangulation of Alice Brown in her room at 15 Corning Street in Boston's South End dominated the front page of the city's daily newspapers in the autumn of 1897. It was a sensational crime which seemed custom-made for the yellow journalism of the era, with a mysterious victim, a colorful cast of witnesses, no clear suspect but several possibilities. The Globe, The Herald, The Post, The Journal, and other Boston dailies aggressively followed clues and gathered background hoping to scoop each other and the police in their vivid reporting of the crime. In the end, they may have been too aggressive, adding more confusion than clarity. Alice Brown, aged 25, was found dead in her room by another resident of the lodging house the morning of November 4, 1897. The medical examiner performed an autopsy on the body and quickly determined that Brown had been strangled. There were seven finger marks on her throat, including cuts made by fingernails. The police brought in three residents of the house for questioning. Edward Hurd, the proprietor of the house, and two men who shared a basement room, John T. Stowell and Thomas Hughes. They were examined and released. Very little was known about Alice Brown who had moved to the lodging house just two weeks before and the search for her identity would become nearly as frantic as the search for her killer. Alice was known to keep late hours and was seen in the company of several different men. She had an ardent lover of over 60 years old who visited night after night pleading with her to marry him. She always refused. Around 1130 the night of the murder she was seen sitting on the front steps with another man who no one recognized. They spoke in earnest tones for about half an hour before the man left. The person who seemed to know her best at 15 Corning Street was William Levitt, a blind man known as Blind Billy who sold song sheets on the street at Tremont Row. Levitt told police that he had been awake smoking in his room above Alice Brown's around 3 a.m. the morning of the murder. His door was ajar and he could hear Alice in the hallway talking to a man whose voice he did not recognize. It was a long conversation. The man was trying to persuade Alice to marry him. Levitt heard her say, No, I wouldn't marry the best man that ever lived. He asked again and she emphatically said, No. Well, I suppose I might as well go then, he said. Yes, Alice replied. Levitt said he knew Alice's lover and said he was not the man she was talking to. It was believed that Alice was murdered sometime between 3 and 6 a.m. A magazine found in Alice Brown's room had the name Alice O'Brien scribbled on the cover. Alice O'Brien had previously lodged at 15 Corning when she was located at her new address. She said that Brown was somewhat reticent about her past but had told her that she grew up in a small town near Concord, New Hampshire. Her mother had died when she was 15 and within a year she ran away, leaving the farm for the city where she hoped for a career on the stage. In Boston, she had been visited by lovers from her girlhood home. She left New Hampshire with another girl, Hattie Belmont, who had been her childhood friend. Alice, a brunette and Hattie a blonde were the bells of the town. Romantic novels gave them the notion to run away and they drifted between New York and Boston, working as shop girls but looking forward to a life on the stage. According to the Boston Globe, the rouge on their cheeks told only two plainly after a while what sort of life they were living. Alice Brown and Hattie Belmont had been roommates at 15 Corning until Alice received a message that Hattie had been arrested and charged with undue intimacy with a married man. None of this information proved useful to the police though. They were unable to find Alice Brown's family in New Hampshire. Another resident of 15 Corning had seen letters postmarked Amherst, Massachusetts, addressed to Alice Brown and believed that was her home. Someone in Gloucester believed she had been in that city under the name Redmond and had been committed to an insane asylum. The Night of the Murder, two people living on Ohio Street across the backside of 15 Corning reported hearing a muffled scream between 4 and 5 a.m. One woman who lived at 15 Corning also heard a scream but no one else in the house did. The discrepancy made the police suspect that some of the residents were covering for the killer. There was no sign of forced entry and the only way in the front door was with a latch key. Alice Brown's latch key was missing. The newspapers said the mystery was deeper than ever. On November 6, a man from Lynn, Massachusetts who was visiting Boston with his wife reported that he had overheard a loud conversation on Tremont Row. He heard a blind song vendor say, she can't try that on me, she can't try that on me, I'll fix her. He was speaking with another man whose description matched that of James McMillan, the 62-year-old suitor of Alice Brown. The police scoured the city for McMillan and found him in Haymarket Square at about 1.30 the next morning. McMillan was known to be an admirer of Alice Brown. In fact, it was said that his mad infatuation had caused her to leave her old residence and move to Corning Street with the hope that he would never find her again. McMillan lived on Tremont Street with a woman named Sadie Hart, an intimate friend of Alice Brown. McMillan told police that he and Hart had gone to Corning Street to call on Alice and ask her to join them for supper, but she was not there when they arrived. He said he had known Alice for about ten years by the name of Redmond. Alice did stop at the house the night of the murder but left before ten. Both McMillan and Levitt denied that the Tremont conversation ever happened. The same day, several other witnesses came forward and the newspapers printed all of their stories. A man claimed that he saw Alice Brown at about midnight on the night of the murder, dining with a man at a cafe, and she left with the man. At Corning Street, a strange man came with a message for Alice Dewey, Room 3. The landlady, Mrs. Hurd, told him that there had been three Alice's in the house, but none named Dewey, and the one living in Room 3 was dead. He said he had a message from Harris Gladwin, a waiter at the Parker House but when the stranger realized he was in the murder house, he left without giving any more information. The Parker House denied ever having an employee named Harris Gladwin. The former lover of Hattie Belmont, Alice Brown's most intimate friend, said that Hattie's name was really Alice Ward and the two Alice's became friends when they were inmates of the same reformatory. Both were pretty girls, he said, but wayward. He believed they had left Boston for New Bedford but police found no trace there of Hattie Belmont, Alice Ward, or Alice Brown. A man from Amherst, Massachusetts came forward to say he believed the dead girl was his sister-in-law, Mary Redderham. She had lived in Amherst but had been sent to a state reformatory. He would travel to Boston to identify the body. The Boston Globe discovered that the man who overheard the conversation on Tremont Row was not a visitor from Lynn but was John Henry Karrison, a reporter for a rival newspaper. Police said they trusted him and agreed to withhold his identity but they also said that their reasons for arresting Macmillan had nothing to do with the alleged conversation. The following day, Macmillan was released. Police investigations now focused on the unknown man who was seen leaving the South End restaurant with Alice Brown around midnight the night of the murder. The Boston Herald made the truest statement yet, quote, it is expected that developments today will go a long way toward clearing the mystery or else it will be darker than ever, unquote. What happened next surprised everybody. The police arrested blind Billy Leavitt for the murder of Alice Brown. Jack Whalen, a resident of 15 Corning, came forward with another story of the night of the murder. His room was directly above that of Alice Brown and he could hear nearly everything that transpired in the room below as well as on his own floor. He was awake that night and at around 3 heard a noise coming from Leavitt's room. He opened his door and looked out into the hallway and saw Leavitt going down the stairs and through the hall toward Alice Brown's room. All was quiet. Then he heard the muffled scream of a woman. Immediately after, Whalen saw the blind man coming up the stairs and heading for his room. The police had been suspicious of Leavitt right from the beginning. He was a little too eager to furnish them with information and he seemed obsessed with the case, talking incessantly of it and continually furnishing them with new information. Some of his stories were contradictory. Alice O'Brien had said that Leavitt was among the man who would not leave Alice Brown alone. He made bold statements and entered her room uninvited. After driving Leavitt from her room, Alice Brown told Alice O'Brien that Leavitt was a bad man. This record in New York and other cities bore this out. He had traveled extensively before coming to Boston and had served time at Blackwell Island for petty offenses. It was said that he was not as blind as he led on and had excellent hearing. Leavitt consorted with thieves and fallen women and it was reported that he had previously spied for the police or anyone who would pay him. The same day as Leavitt's arrest, the body of Alice Brown was positively identified as Mary Alice Rudderan by Mrs. Lucy S. Brown of Cambridgeport who had employed her as a domestic servant. When she had seen the name Mary Rudderham in the newspaper, she decided to see if the dead girl could possibly be her former servant. Mary had said a little about her past but told Mrs. Brown she had come from Ringe Center, New Hampshire where she still had a brother living. Mrs. Brown remembered Mary as a pleasant, trustworthy girl but the family's attitude toward her changed after they caught her smoking cigarettes in her room. She moved out soon after and Mrs. Brown said she had stolen a gold watch when she left. She also took their last name when she moved into Corning Street. William blind Billy Leavitt took his arraignment as a joke. He declined counsel and waived examination but was still intent on explaining the situation. I suppose I have to go through with it, he said. I might as well stand the pressure as anybody else. The statement is against me on account of the newspapers. He was still talking as he was led out of the courtroom. Pending the grand jury hearing, Leavitt was held without bail. Seven fellow lodgers of 15 Corning Street, witnesses in the case were also held on $500 bail which none of them could raise. Leavitt was well represented when he appeared before the grand jury. His attorney stressed that he had no motive for killing Mary Alice Rudderham. While it was true that she repelled his advances, there was no evidence that he was strongly jealous. The marks on her neck were made by someone with long fingernails and Leavitt bit his to the quick. Most importantly, the only witness against him was Jack Whalen whose nickname at 15 Corning was Happy Jack because his mental force was said to be not of the strongest. The grand jury concluded that there was not enough evidence to indict William Leavitt. No one else was ever charged with the murder of Mary Alice Rudderham aka Alice Brown, and the case is sometimes cited even today as one of Boston's unsolved mysteries. Coming up on Weird Darkness, a non-believer in the supernatural is forced to rethink his beliefs when he almost dies of fright. Plus, most stories of people being abducted by aliens or being experimented on by extraterrestrials are often chalked up to something like sleep paralysis, but what if the aliens leave behind scars on your body that cannot be explained? And not all monsters in the closet are imaginary, as one parent found out. But first, a father locked his kids in a trailer while going out to get drunk, but the supernatural makes him pay for it. That story is up next. October is the anniversary of Weird Darkness, and we celebrate by raising funds to help people who suffer from depression. Chantelle wrote in, saying, I had fairly aggressive postpartum depression three years ago. I work as a reservist in the Canadian Armed Forces and full-time as a correctional officer. I didn't know about the Weird Darkness podcast when I was dealing with my postpartum. However, due to my past medical history and my two jobs that almost guarantee me to have some type of mental illness in the future, I am glad that there is a soft place to fall other than the usual government-funded sites. Chantelle is right. The organizations that we are raising funds for this month, Seven Cups, IFRED and the National Suiciding Crisis Lifeline, are all funded by donors like you and me who understand the importance of these resources being available.

My true story took place in Fresno, California. I lived with my family, brothers and sister, mother and father, in a little trailer home in my grandma's big creepy backyard with a run-down dirt ditch. At night, we sometimes heard a woman's cries coming from the ditch, but that's a different story. There were so many creepy, scary moments in that place, but this story is about my father and mother. My father used to lock us in the trailer when he went to get drunk. When he came back late one night, he was unusually quiet with a blank look on his face. He just walked by us all laying on the ground and on the couch, and went straight to the back room where my mom was laying nervously on the bed. He laid down with his back facing her and she asked, Are you okay? He started to quietly laugh, his voice raspy as if his throat was filled with mucus. He then said, My friend wants to come in. Scared, my mom asked what friend he was talking about. Quietly, my dad said, He's waiting outside our bedroom door. My mom looked toward the bedroom door that was slightly open and saw two yellowish red eyes peering in at her. She got so scared she yelled, No, and then began to pray. She heard my father say, He can't help you. I already have all of your children. When he said that, the smell of death filled the room. Crying, she said, You'll never have them. She knew she wasn't talking to my father, but rather something evil inside him. He slowly rolled over to face her, and she stared at him, not knowing what would happen next.  It just stared and smiled at her with an evil twisted look. My mom ran out of the room to be with us, but nothing else happened. My father says he remembers nothing of that night. He doesn't even remember how he got home. I just want to say that I have never been a believer in the supernatural. I think that everything has a logical explanation. There is absolutely no explanation though for what I am about to share with you, and I just can't stop thinking about it. Last October I was in London visiting my brother who lives in Hammersmith. I booked into my hotel late, around 11pm, and had planned on eating at the hotel restaurant, but it had closed. I decided to find a local restaurant that was still serving food. I found one nearby that was still open. The restaurant was empty, except for the manager S and me. She was very pleasant and talked a lot. She was telling me about the local tourist attractions and places to check out while I was in London, and she seemed amazingly astute.  At closing time, she went out to the back of the restaurant, I guess, to put some cash in the safe or something. As I was sitting there, I was wondering what time I wanted to get up and go see my brother the next day. I finished my drink that I had already paid for, but I decided to wait until the manager S came back so she could lock up behind me. After five minutes, she still had not come back, so I got up and knocked on the door at the back of the restaurant where she had gone earlier. I opened the door to find the room in darkness. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, I saw the woman who I had just finished talking to standing, facing me, staring straight back at me from the rear of the room. Her skin was a clammy, cracked olive color, and her eyes were just black, I mean no white at all. Her eyes and mouth were open really wide and she started screaming the most spine-chilling sounds, something I couldn't understand. It sounded like a foreign language, something like Latin. I screamed with fright. Her clothes now looked all old and she moved too fast. The room must have been at least 15 feet deep. She then started darting from the front to the back of the room, still facing me and from side to side at an impossible speed. She wasn't running, just moving. I started to back away from the door and then she ran straight at me. I turned and ran out of the restaurant, jumped in my car. As I started the car, I could see her nightmarish face in the restaurant windows, darting it seemed to every window at an impossible speed. I tore out of the parking lot as fast as I could. I looked in my rear view mirror and nearly jumped out of my skin to see that she was sitting in the backseat of my car, still with that nightmarish expression. I swerved the car down the street in sheer panic. She let out an ear-piercing scream and then just vanished. She was there for long enough to know I didn't imagine it. I don't know what that was that spoke to me in the restaurant that day, but I know it wasn't a prank. I swear, at night, sometimes I think I see her shadow moving in the dark in my room, just staring at me. I haven't slept properly since, or been back to that restaurant. West Yarmouth, Massachusetts, June 1, 2015, approximately 2.30 in the morning. I was sitting up in my bed after a girlfriend of mine had just left. The next thing I knew, a bright blue light was shining through my slider and I was laying flat on my back, completely paralyzed. I think I could move my eyes, but I'm not sure. Then there were three 4-5 foot tall beings at the end of my bed. Their faces seemed kind of blurry, or maybe it's my memory of it. The one in the middle was talking to me in my own voice, but inside of my head. I was trying to scream or even just move, but I couldn't. I just remember him telling me that everything was going to be fine, they're not going to hurt me. I asked them what they wanted. They said they just had to run a few tests, and in the blink of an eye, the other two beings were on both sides of me. The two of them put their two fingers underneath my lower back and my shoulder, and I was lifted out of the bed as if weightless, then they floated me towards the sliding door and the flash of blue light took me out. After that, all I remember was a cold tibble and feeling very uncomfortable, and then I was back in my bed, sitting up, and it was 4.30 in the morning. I have a strange circle scar on my arm and three small scars in the shape of a triangle on the head of my genital. Since then, I have seen a bright orange fireball floating across the sky in my backyard, and I wake every night at 3.30 and can watch the clock change. If this is just a dream, it was the most traumatic dream I've ever had in my life, and I hope my kids don't have these dreams. Dreams that result with scars. I lived in Illinois in a town called New Baden. I lived in a trailer that had a demon living inside my four-year-old daughter's closet. I closed her closet door every night, but the left side of the sliding doors would always be open in the morning. I said, if you're afraid of the bad man who lives in your closet, why do you keep opening the door? She said, Mommy, I don't. He does. When I asked what he looked like, she said he was naked and fat and red all over, and that his eyes looked funny. I drew several pictures of eyes, human eyes, cat eyes, and even a goat's eyes with the rectangular pupil. When she saw the goat eyes, my daughter got all excited and said, Those look like his eyes. My blood ran cold. Everyone said I was crazy to believe my four-year-old, but the weirdest things happened all the time. I once saw a knick-knack on my shelf float out to the middle of the living room. When I said, Hey, don't touch my stuff, it fell to the floor. I left it there. I didn't want to touch it. I went to the bathroom. When I came back, the knick-knack was back on the shelf. Freaking out, I took my daughter to her grandmother's house to tell her grandmother what was going on in the trailer. Her grandmother was a child psychologist, and I thought she could tell if my daughter was lying and what I could do. I left the two of them alone. About five minutes later, her grandmother brought me to the room and gave me two pictures from church that had been blessed. Hang these at her room, she said. They might help. So I did. The next morning, my daughter said Jesus had come out of the picture and told the bad man to leave and never come back.  Jesus then told her to go to sleep, that she was safe now. I knew something bad had been in the house with us as I always felt so sad when I lived there. After Jesus banished the bad thing, my house felt so nice that I wasn't sad anymore. I tried to learn about the trailer's history, like if there had been a death or something, but it was purchased as a repo and back then they didn't tell people if somebody died inside a home. I knew for sure the bad thing was gone when my dog had a litter of puppies in that closet. Before, she refused to go in the closet and bit me when I tried to put her inside. Up next, what's the deal with Friday the 13th? When did it begin? Is there anything to it? Is there anything we can do about it? Why does Friday the 13th scare us so much? We'll talk about it when Weird Darkness returns. You can hear the snarls right behind you, the faster you run, the closer the creatures seem to get.

It's Friday the 13th, which comes immediately after Thursday the 12th, which nobody seems to have an issue with. Nor do they have an issue with Saturday the 14th, but Friday the 13th. Why all the anxiety? In short, because the fear is ingrained in Western culture, according to experts. If nobody bothered to teach us about these negative taboo superstitions like Friday the 13th, we might in fact all be better off, says Stuart Weiss, a professor of psychology at Connecticut College in New London. People who harbor a Friday the 13th superstition might have Tristataecophobia. It's a fear of Friday the 13th and often pass on that belief to their children. Popular culture's obsession with the fear, think Friday the 13th horror films, or even this podcast as I'm talking to you, helps keep it alive. Although superstitions can be arbitrary, a fear of ladders or black cats, for example, once they are in the culture, we tend to honor them, said Thomas Gilovitch, a professor of psychology at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.  The trepidation surrounding Friday the 13th is rooted in religious beliefs surrounding the 13th guest at the Last Supper, Judas. The Apostle said to a betrayed Jesus and the crucifixion of Jesus on a Friday, which was known as Hangman's Day, and was already a source of anxiety, Vice said. The two fears merged, resulting in this sort of double whammy of 13 falling on an already nervous day, he said. More interesting, he noted, is why people associate any Friday the 13th with bad luck. The answer, he said, has to do with what he calls principles of magical thinking bounding cultures around the world. One of these principles involves things or actions if they resemble other things in any way of resemblance, shape or sound or odor or color. People tend to think those things are related, he explained. In this framework, there were 13 people present at the Last Supper, so anything connected to the number 13 from then on is bad luck. As for Friday, it is well known among Christians as the day Jesus was crucified. Also, some Biblical scholars believe Eve tempted Adam with the forbidden fruit on a Friday. Perhaps most significant is a belief that Abel was slain by his brother Cain on Friday the 13th. Meanwhile, in ancient Rome, witches reportedly gathered in groups of 12. The 13th was believed to be the devil. In modern times, many Triscaedicophobes point to the ill-fated mission to the moon, Apollo 13. Thomas Fernsler, an associate policy scientist in the Mathematics and Science Education Resource Center at the University of Delaware in Newark, said the number 13 suffers because of its position after the number 12. According to Fernsler, numerologists consider the number 12 a complete number. There are 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the Zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel and 12 apostles of Jesus, he pointed out. Thirteen's association with bad luck, he said, has to do with just being a little beyond completeness. The number becomes restless or squirmy, not unlike some folks with Triscaedicophobia today. This fear of the number 13 can be seen even in how societies are built. More than 80% of high-rise buildings lack a 13th floor, for example, and many airports skip the 13th gate. Hospitals and hotels regularly have no room number 13. On streets in Florence, Italy, the house between number 12 and number 14 is addressed as 12 and a half. In France, socialites known as the Poizorians or Forteeners once made themselves available as 14th guests to keep a dinner party from an unlucky fate. On Friday the 13th, some people are so crippled by fear that they lock themselves inside. Others will have no choice but to grit their teeth and nervously muster through the day. Nevertheless, many people will refuse to fly, refuse to buy a house or act on a hot stock tip, in actions that noticeably slow economic activity according to Donald Dossi, a folklore historian and founder of the Stress Management Center and Fobia Institute in Asheville, North Carolina. It has been estimated that in the U.S. $800-900 million is lost in business on this day because people will not fly or do business as they normally would, he said. To overcome the fear, Vice said people should take small steps outside their comfort zone. Those who are afraid to leave the house should consider meeting a close friend at a cozy cafe, for example. Try some small thing that they would be reluctant to do under normal circumstances and gradually experience hopefully no horrible thing happen when they push through and carry on. Unfortunately, our society has many odd superstitions.  Others are concerned about lucky numbers, avoiding stepping on certain lines on the field or having the same seat on the bench all the time. But one thing we should not suffer from is a fear of Friday the 13th, because superstitions should not have any hold or power over us. It is God that has the power over us. He is truly all-powerful. Nothing we do or believe can change that, and that includes luck, bad or good. We need to be devoted to an all-powerful God, not an all-powerless superstition. Thanks for listening.

So, yeah, I work at Griffith University in e-research services and a while ago we used the ANS Research Grant API to improve the data that we present in the Griffith University Research Hub. So the Research Hub is our publicly facing researcher profile system and we build that for two main purposes. One to make Griffith Research more discoverable to show what we are doing. And the other one to give researchers a profile that they can use for their own purposes that you know they can share that shows their work individually. And to give a bit of background the Research Hub is built using Vivo which is a semantic web application and it's becoming quite popular. There's a large number of universities worldwide that built their research profile systems based on this. It came from Cornell University originally so there's a huge uptake in the US in particular. As a semantic web application it has a couple of very nice benefits for this sort of purpose and one is that it provides a very rich ontology to model information about researchers, research related activities, organizations such as institutes, schools, groups and in terms of activities we can model publications, grants and other research output. And of course it's also easy to add a party or your own ontologies to add even more data to this. Now when we developed the Research Hub one of the main aspects that we wanted to cover was that people would not have to maintain their profiles themselves and so in that spirit we try to get as much data as possible from various enterprise systems at Griffith and external systems if available. And so at the end at the moment researchers really only have to add their photo if they want one a short biosay statement and maybe a research statement and everything else including academic degrees, employment history, publications, grants, supervision and so on gets drawn from enterprise systems and we get the same information about institutes, groups and schools. However one problem that we came across was that enterprise systems were at some point built for a specific purpose and that was usually not that the data would be displayed publicly. And for a lot of the data that's not a huge issue, publication records are fairly standardized so we didn't have any problems there but grant information in particular was not very well covered in our systems. Sometimes just because we weren't the managing organization so if things changed later on in terms of titles and amounts and whatnot that wasn't necessarily reflected in our systems and the other reason is that we didn't necessarily need descriptions and whatnot for the reporting purposes the systems were built for. So for the Research Hub we identified two business cases where we could use external grant data and really add some value to the Research Hub and one was to improve data on existing grants, get better descriptions, get full funding amounts like the total grant amount and not just the share that Griffith University got from it and the other business case was that while we knew about grants that at some affiliation with Griffith we didn't know anything about grants that researchers had while they were not at Griffith University and so adding that information became quite important because while it doesn't showcase any Griffith research it is an important part in the biography of our researchers and it gives a much more complete picture especially because we do have historic information about publications and whatnot so not having the grants left a gap that that many people were sort of eager to close and again we didn't want people to enter this information manually so getting as much of that done automatically as possible was the end goal and this is where the ANS Research Grant API came in and yes that in the previous talks it draws from the same data sources as the Research Data Australia portal and so it has very comprehensive information especially about ASC and NHMRC grants and it also provides us with a very nicely cleaned up version of this grant information so information that is maybe not well captured in a standardized vocabulary and the source data was actually cleaned up and is now provided in a very nice form and the API is based on solar which is a very simple to use very nice and very well documented enterprise search engine and so using this data was actually quite easy for us so for the first business case we didn't actually have to do very much we could basically look up grants based on their grant ID and the funding body grant ID is not necessarily unique across funding bodies but doing this lookup was quite easy and so we would get back the record as a JSON formatted record and all we really had to do was map those fields to our RDF vocabulary and do a few related lookups for people in our database and whatnot to to link it up properly but all in all it was a very very easy process and well we did this work quite a while ago so about a year and a half I think most of it and initially a lot of the text fields still contained a lot of the actual information in terms of funding amounts and whatnot and we did a fair bit of text processing to extract it as well nowadays and has done a lot of work on improving this and so we're now getting a much cleaner version of the data so whoever wants to get into this area now and use this information is in a really good position to get very nice and clean data from this. The second business case was a lot more difficult so we just heard about research identifiers it's still very difficult to get that information for our researchers at the moment and ORCID is not very common yet and we don't get ORCID identifiers from the API or from the funding bodies so what we have to do to get historic grants for researchers that had nothing to do with Griffith was we had to come up with a way of matching researchers by name and for that we built a two-stage scoring function one simply looked at name similarity and gave us some idea whether two names could be referring to the same person and we put a lot of empirical work into that because sometimes people go by a preferred name sometimes by the actual first name some people always include their middle name some people don't so it's a lot of work to do about that and then we still have the problem or had the problem that names are not unique and so we added a second score that was based on the fields of research people published in and we have very good information about that in the research hub so we could build a portfolio of four codes that people had published in previously and we just went by the assumption that if they had a grant in the past that had a certain four code that they would have at least one publication that had that four code as well yeah then we had to implement some additional handling for edge cases where grants were actually managed by Griffith and we had information about them but people were different institutions and still attached to them and linking all that up but that was all relatively easy once we had the linking up and running well I can't actually give any numbers about how well we are doing empirically it worked quite well and in practice over the last one and a half years I think we had about two or three false positives where people informed us that the data was incorrect and we built in functionality to manually add and remove grants but still automatically ingest the data and yeah so both of these cases were very successful and that was largely thanks to how easy the ANTS API was for us to access and to use and yeah I thought to wrap it up I quickly put up some links to the systems involved the first one is our research hub the second one for those who are interested and you may not know about it already that's the Vivo project which is definitely worth a look for everyone who's interested in getting into the space of researcher profile systems and the last one is the documentation to the ANTS API and as it's since it's based on solar there's a lot of additional resources everywhere on the web and yeah that's all from me


Nick Dove at the 49 yard line by Logan Ryan. Intercepted! Logan Ryan at the 40! He's ruled down at that point! Logan Ryan! Logan Ryan gets fourth INT. What has surprised you the most about the Titans defense this season? I just love what we're doing on the stage. The goal line stands, they're not surprises to me, but it just shows the toughness that we have in this group. We've had multiple goal line stands this season. That last one, you didn't know how big it was until the final score, so that was great. That was huge, Rashawn Evans and everybody did a great job there. No matter how the game is going, we believe in our defense, we have a confident defense. I still think we're a defensive football team, even though we have like the MVP over there at offense, so we got a lot of pride in our defense. Now you mentioned Rashawn Evans and I wanted to ask you about him. Seeing him grow up from year one to year two, what do you think is the biggest change that you've seen in him?  You have to be really smart. You have to learn. It takes years to be good at the position. I just think he's in the process of that. I mean the physicality, his passion, the way he's able to hit. He's a violent human being, and I'm glad that he plays football for a living, but I just think all the other stuff, the communication within the defense is something that takes years to master, and I think he's taking the steps necessary to be a really good linebacker in this league. So his performance on that goal line stand didn't surprise you at all? No. We call him razor blade, and that's razor blade for a reason. It's not a secret that the defensive backs have been struggling with some injuries a little bit, and obviously there's a lot of depth at that position. Guys that you trust to be out on the field, how does it impact the chemistry though and the way that you guys work when someone goes out like an Adoree Jackson or Malcolm Butler? Right. I think that's been something that I had to learn. You know, I've played with Adoree and Malcolm for so many years in my career. They're probably the only two corners I've played with, and Malcolm for obviously a lot of years in two organizations, and Adoree since I've been here. I didn't realize the chemistry until they were gone, how that might play. But I mean, we got a lot of depth in the secondary. A lot of guys have made game-winning plays that we've talked about, Kahluz plays, and Sean Sims and Ty Smith punching out fumbles when he got a chance to play. And Tremaine Brock coming over here learned the defense in a matter of days and been a starter ever since. So we got a special group on that side and we've had some injuries, but it's great having Adoree back. That's like my brother back there, and he's able to pick up for me on things that I don't even tell him about, be able to communicate. We can kind of read each other's minds in that sense. So it's great having him back. He always keeps the light and fun, obviously. But everyone stepped in and done a great job, obviously. The Ravens describe their offense as revolutionary. What have you seen in maybe the brief study that you've done on that team? Lamar Jackson's special, and they're good at running the ball, which helps you win games normally. And it's not revolutionary. It's just option football college, option football done really well with professional athletes. So it's revolutionary because it's working in the NFL, I guess. But we have our work cut out for us for sure. We're the number one team in the AFC for a reason. So we'll be big underdogs, but I think we smile when we hear that because I think nothing's better than being an underdog and playing with house money. A guy like Lamar Jackson, as you mentioned, he's a great player, could be the league's MVP this year. He can get you through the air. He can get you with his legs. There's so many different things he can do. What do you do as a defensive guy to contain him? You do your job. You do what the defense asks you to do.  I mean, I think we've played them all. They're all good, and he's just as good as all of them, if not better. So we're just going to believe in ourselves and play tight in football and make it physical, get gritty out there, get the ball back to our offense and let them pound the rock away and keep the same formula we've been having of just playing winning football. You mentioned it earlier, but another week, another week that the Titans are expected to be the underdogs in this game. Is that a place that you're growing to enjoy being the underdog? Personally, I never feel like an underdog. I have a lot of confidence in myself, but I think you can rally behind it. And when you're the sixth seed in the AFC and you had to win the last week, while these teams were resting, that's what it is, but we're in the tournament and we're here to make a run in the tournament, we're here to have fun, we're happy to be in the tournament and we love playing in the wild card and I think we were the better team. So I don't think the seeds matter anymore. I think it's what you do on that day. Whoever the underdog, whoever the favorite is, it doesn't matter, it all matters what you do between the white lines and you can make your name for yourself in the playoffs for sure and I think we're taking advantage of that and I think that we have a big test ahead of us and I think we're excited.


having joined the Yankees organization in 2012 Matt Ferry worked his way up and now he serves as their director of baseball operations in New York. Ferry is part of the group that has made the trip to San Diego for the winter meetings where Jack and Meredith spoke with him earlier. Thanks Bob as we all know Yankees fans want to see a deal with Aaron Judge they have not been able to get that done yet however they were able to make some news today extending Brian Cashman a guy that you have worked under Matt for a very long time so what has it been like working under Cash and what stands out to you about the way he goes about his business? Cash is an amazing boss I'm a little biased but he's an incredible boss to work for he's someone that lets you do your job doesn't look over your shoulder seeing what you're doing or not doing he lets you grow and spread your wings he gets input from all sides we talk about balanced decision-making between scouting and analytics he's all about that he listens to all sides and makes good sound decisions I think that's something that's really served him well in this in this industry and this baseball industry in this market New York for so long he's someone that you know hasn't had a losing record under his reign his entire time as general manager and that's something I think we all take pride in something that he should be proud of certainly but it's something that has allowed him to do this job for so long in a market that you know is really difficult to navigate. I'm glad you talked about the input from all sides Brian has talked about how he wants to surround himself with smart people and he wants to hear what they have to say so if you could be our mole inside the winter meetings suites what are those discussions like as you guys are in the suite and making decisions on possible player acquisitions possible free agent signings. Yeah I mean the war room or the suite upstairs it's it's a group of all cash is trusted advisors right it's Mike Fishman our assistant GM Gene Afterman Tim Nairing Jim Hendry on the scouting side Matt Daley our director of pro scouting Kevin Reese is up there Eric Schmidt David Grabner our director of quantitative analysis he's getting input from all sides we're talking with every different team work in the phones talking with free agents getting price tags and evaluating the entire landscape and market how to make our team better for next year and beyond and that's something that we're grinding you know not just here in San Diego but throughout the off season but it's it's nice when we can get everyone under the same roof talk through maybe do some face-to-face with agents or other teams and try to navigate what's best for our team and as we figure out what's what's gonna do make our team in 2023 even better. You talk about constantly evaluating that's something that's organization is always doing both internally and the players that are out there on the market when you look at the 2022 season obviously you did not reach your ultimate goal of winning a world series but what are some of your biggest takeaways from the season we had a lot of successes obviously didn't reach our ultimate goal but if you look at the first couple months of the 2022 season it was a lot of fun a lot of successes it was one of the closest knit groups that we've had from a player perspective boonies talked about that a lot throughout the course of the year guys like Rizzo really impacting the room for a full season bringing guys in like Harrison Bader halfway through the year providing the spark at the in the postseason with him it was a group that had a lot of fun and we want to build on that that core that group in 2023 and I have to give boonie and his staff credit there they're a group of innovative coaches support staff that is always there to provide information or nuggets to our players we have a fully operational system and support staff and I think that's what showed a lot of the successes that we had as a team and AL East crown. Matt what is the key to making all of those departments work scouting analytics sports science the medical side everything that goes into making a winning baseball team. It's a challenge there's there's a lot of departments a lot of people within those departments sometimes a lot of cooks in the kitchen and that's what why cash is is our leader and has done this for so long as he gets that input from a variety of people and tries to make sure that no stone is left unturned when it comes to a player whether it's a scouting report whether it's make up whether it's performance science whatever we need to know about a player we want to see if there's untapped potential if there's any low hanging fruit we're doing every little bit that we can to try to maximize player performance and try to get the most that we can out of players in the field and I think some of those guys have shown through over time the last couple years guys we've acquired of guys that we've signed and hopefully it's impacted wins and losses on the field quickly before we send it back to the studio 10 years in the Yankees organization four years in your current role what's been the biggest change that you've seen in this organization biggest change it continues to grow the industry continues to grow there's there's as I talked about more people the winter meetings are a huge operation there's there's job seekers here there's vendors there's teams media it's a huge event and it gets bigger and bigger every year I think that's a good thing for our industry more eyeballs on the product we looked at coming out of the last cba there's more eyeballs more revenue and that's that's a lot of fun but it's a bigger challenge every year because everyone has higher and higher expectations of not just our team but the sport in general and Matt once was one of those job seekers we have covered that on our shows Meredith so we should tell everyone out there who is roaming the lobbies looking for a job this is the guy you want to follow you want to follow his path seems to have worked out pretty well so format thank you for the time thanks guys


Hey, we'll go back to part two. Also known as the poop part. Poop part. To our watch-along of Sanju, starting Ranbir Kapoor. Number two. Rajkumar Harani is the director. Yeah. If you haven't seen part one, please go check that out. If you're watching this on YouTube, you're going to see a very cut-up version of it. You can only use five to 10 minutes of very cut-up footage because of copyright reasons, obviously. So if you'd like to see the full-on cut versions, you can head over to Patreon. Where there's no copyright issues, just copy wrong issues. Exactly. And you can get there in the link in the description below or the pinned comment to see the full-on cut version there. So, he's 21 here, right? My choice was so clear. Entered into my life. Mr Kapoor Kondomey. I didn't know he was in. What are you looking at? I wanna-they did something with the skyline that I think was pretty damn- What's going on? That's the end. That's the end. How long were you trying to keep this? The end, the end, to keep it inside. Sorry, bro. What do you mean by the end? This guy... He calls an end to his family. It was full wear and he did the bottomless. What's the age? Maan Kodi's mother? Ninety? Alright. You can see that he's not a good actor. Vicky is such a good actor. If you want some ghee, you need to have some Gapa Gap. That means money. And Gapa Gap? Six. You're not in trouble the way you think you're in. Was it the 70s? 80s? Yes. 79, 80. You think I was born yesterday? Dad, call the cops. Yeah, run. What's funny is none of the girls were topless except for the one we saw from the back. There they are. Nice. I'll drop you from tomorrow. From today? I'll drop you from tomorrow. Hey! Let go of the ink. Let go of the powder first. Let go of the ink. Let go of the powder. Roar. Roar? I won't do a test today, I promise. Shout out to the visual effects people for putting the Twin Towers on the skyline. Yeah. That was flawless. Roar. You're not my ink. Hold this. Rajkumar Arani is such an interesting choice for a film like... Sex. Because you can make such a heavy dramatic film, but... William? His print makes it light. Right. I didn't just drink alcohol. I came here with cocaine. Look, today I won't hide anything from you. The next day I'll tell you that... Charaz, Ganges, everything... But I haven't touched anything for a month. I'm clean. What will power? What? Pappam. No, Pappam. Uncle. Uncle, my uncle. So very... That was great. That was not a Ranbir or Heel cake. That's not her father. Yeah, that's her dad. That's not dad. No. The prosthetics came on this. I was a little close to him, so... Come in. So tell me, which is Rubybin's favourite animal? Is it a cat? No, a dog? Why is he saying it like that? Is it a cat? Is it a cat? Like he's being played by a white actor. Why is he talking like that? Is he supposed to be like this hoity-toity rich guy I'm guessing? The way he's talking is just jarring. Wait, he just said Pani Puri. Why did he say waffles? Because Americans don't know what that is, so they were dumbing it down for us. I hate that. I do too. When someone says Rishi Kapoor, but they put in famous actor. Hey! What? Oh, sorry. I did realize it was him again. Who do you think it was? I thought it was KK. I can see that, yeah. You should leave him.  In the film industry or in the society, you... You do everything with honesty, sir. The problem is that...  What's that? If he dies, who am I going to tell? Hey! Hey! Come on. Morning, Dad. Yesterday, the distributor saw your scene. Nice. They say, Mr. Dharth, that your hero will crush everyone. Yeah. Mr. Dharth. That's all. Yeah. What happened? We went to the coma again. Really nice. When did you get this dad? I got it for years, son. I was sleeping the whole day yesterday. Is that Kishore Kumar singing? Sanju? I don't know what's real. I don't know what's real. What's imagination? Are you real, dad? Santa Barbara? Dad took me to America for treatment. Just mark the drugs in here you've ever consumed. It's amazing. Wait, he's been in other films we've seen. What was it? He's gonna have to be here for a while, but we'll look after him. It truly is astonishing. Like, I could not even see it. I could tell you if a white actor's acting. When you dance, your body generates chemicals that heal you. Armado, dance to recovery. I hope we're not with all these white actors for real. Is that weird Al? No, it's not. It looks like weird Al though.  Let's go back to India. You used to be able to do that. Really popular. Hitchhiking was... I remember hitchhikers all the time when I was a kid. And like, sitting in the back of a truck. KFC! Now you know it's America. Please tell me that part is true. Yeah. That's insane. Because he's doing what Vicky was telling him to do. Nothing else work, I guess. 14 day loop break. That's a world record. It's like a slap to the face. Punch you in the face. It's just brutal. Can't even jog right. Good grief. It's the thing that happens when you tell someone to stand up in front of a group and just walk across the stage. They walk weird. Can't do that. There's bad company. In real life, he's a great company. Also, great band by the way. Bad. Bad company. Is this how he gets a scar? Oh, that all addicts could have that response. Something tells me that won't be his... The last time he touches a drug though. No. And I say that with full compassion because they can't... They can't control those things. It's not a choice they make. They have a disease. What's happening to me? I'm liking scores that come in and feel melodramatic. Well, Rajkumar Harani. He creates a certain world. Exactly. That it's like okay. Yeah, it's not bothering me.  I think he has a very unique style. In any of the film, this would be overscored out the wazoo. Out the wazoo. An emotionally manipulative... It kind of just works in his world. Suddenly, it's a Wednesday. Hello, my dear writer. A drop dead love. Ajit Izzatar Pilrajo Bangai. He told you, Vinny. He's an actor. He's pulling some bomb in here. I wonder if that was his inspiration. It's kind of very... It is very Bowman. The mustache, the hair actually kind of looks like Bowman. Those little lisp? Yeah. Is she in America? John did meet him, I guess. Yeah. Nice house. Upstate New York, maybe? That's bold. If he was a female and you were a male, that would be very creepy. Head north and take a left. Now we're gonna get more white actors. Are they in Brooklyn? Yeah. Is that true? I'm assuming... I'm assuming it is. That's a pretty big thing. They alluded to it in the front that he went... Supposed to go to jail for five years. It's like he was connected in some way. He was fun in his own world. No. Was it Lisa Vanderpump? She loves pink. What do I think it's gonna be him that gives you the bam bam? Yeah. Give Vicky the boom boom. Yeah, he's not getting up in every way. It's called whiskey dick, ladies and gentlemen. Exactly. And that still doesn't give you an excuse to do the girl your guy wants really bad. So, consent is always important. Yeah. Can't believe she did that with you. A girl who cheats on my best friend shouldn't be with him. Yeah. No girl cheats on my best friend... with me. And gets away with it. Seriously. I wouldn't be his friend, Vicky. Great rationale. Yeah, forgive you, but I'm not forgetting. Wow. By the way, not a good weapon of choice for self-defense at home. No. Handgun would be much more appropriate. But what do we know? We're Americans. In America, an 18-year-old can get those without any background checks. No background checks. Yeah. It's a wonderful thing we have here. Charcasm. That looks just like him. Wow. The boots. Walk is spot on. Because of security reasons, Sanju was kept in an SSL. Yeah. Where no one spoke, nor did anyone else. For the company, that's it. That's so gross. That was really bad. Oh, please. Oh, my God. Oh, no. Oh, no. My wife was pregnant. So she died. Yeah. I'm confused as to how his AK-47 means he was involved with the... Just because the guy gave the information? I'm confused about... I understand the gun situation. What about the explosives in the car? It said he had explosives in his car? Yeah, that one of his dad's cars was used for the explosives and it was parked outside his house. Oh, when she went to... Yeah, I'm guessing they'll explain that. I don't know if you're a tiger. Daddy, how are you? I'm a little hungry. Very good. Very good. There we go. Spread your cheeks. Clearly, somebody in that room that told him to take the fall for that to get off with that, I guess a lighter sentence, maybe? But then you would be labeled a terrorist. I don't know why you would take it. Right. That's a great job. That's so great. What a surprise. And that'll be the end of a Part 2 reaction. How about that Part 2? Good Part 2. Great Part 2, right? Great. Great. Doing this before we watched it, so we don't know what we're doing for editing. So I don't stop the film. But if you'd like to see the full-on cut versions, just like the first part, you can head over to the Patreon. We've already finished the movie, so you can check those out in the link in the description below or the pinned comment. Thank you so much.
