تشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا وياله من شراف عظيمي بعض الناس ، أو بعض المسكولين They divided the innovation into two types بدعة حسنة good innovation وبدعة قبيحة and evil innovation مثل ابنه أثير ابنه أثير في الكتاب النهاية He mentions that the بدعة البدعة وبدعة هالي The innovation are two بدعة هدى بدعة of guidance وبدعة ضلالة بدعة of misguidance He called it Also you can find the same by other scholars العزدينة من العمد السلام He said the same شافعي said the same عمر من الخطاب They say قيام الرمضان He said نعم البدعة هذي What a good innovation this is امام البخاري النبيت When we know that the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم I said كل بدعة ضلالة Every innovation is misguided رواه مسلم العزب العبد السلام went on to another extreme and he said that the بدعة is divided into five بدعة which is wajib بدعة which is haram بدعة which is مدوب بدعة which is مكروه بدعة which is مباح لحكام التكليفية بدعة these five امام الشاطبي refuted العزب العبد السلام In this matter And he said رحمه الله امام الشاطبي He said لا يدل عليه دليل الشرعي No شريعة evidence is indicated من نصوس الشرعي ولا من قواعدي None of the texts from the شريعة الشو واتلعزب العبد السلام يساين And not the principles of the شريعة doesn't even show that إذ لو كان هناك ما يدل من الشاعة Because if there was something in the شريعة that which indicates that which is that there's a bid'a which is wajib or there's a bid'a which is مدوب or بد'a which is مباح لما كان ثم بد'a there wouldn't be there would not be no innovation as the bid'a comes into the one of a khakam that means it's part of the شريعة that we can't recall innovation so we see today the scholars they answered the explanation of what is meant by that the bid'a is two types especially the speech of Imam speech of أمر منخطاب شيخ وليسامي برويتين يائن الكتاب اختباء الصراط المستقيم لمخالفة أصحاب الجحيم He said that the speech of أمر which is that the word is a good innovation لما نعم البد'a to هذه what a good innovation this is شيخ وليسامي برويتين He said that this is meant by the linguistic interpretation explanation of the word not the technical meaning and that's the definition أمر intended he meant it the linguistic definition not the technical definition that's one way of explaining it some other scholars they said أمر speech has actually come in another narration by ابن القطبقات ابن صاعد in his طبقات that أمر said no if if this was an innovation what a good innovation it would have been so أمر himself did not even have found it to be an innovation the third view that has been also introduced in answering the speech of أمر رضي الله تعالى عنه is that أمر when he said this he meant مباب المشاكلة في التعبير is when something is said for it to resemble something not that it actually means in reality such as what Allah said in the Qur'an وَجَزَاءُ سَيْئَةٍ anyone who does an evil the reward of his evil is what سَيْئَةٌ another evil مثلها I like it the question here right now is that if a person does an evil to repay him for the wrong that he has done to you is it called an evil no it's your right to get what he has done to you his one is called evil but your one isn't called evil but Allah also refer to it as an evil because it's مشاكلة just to use the same name even if it doesn't mean it and it's as though أمر رضي الله تعالى عنه somebody asked him and said to him إبتدعت يا أمر أمر you've introduced and he said if I've introduced if this is an innovation then a good innovation would be another example sometimes would be is that somebody would say something to you and you will say to them somebody would say to you your شعر your رافضي and you say to them like شافع said لو كان رفض عب أالم وحمدل if loving them profits family it makes me a شعر فليش هدي فقالاني أني رافضي لأ everyone know that I'm a rafid does that literally mean he's a rafid and he's admitted to be a rafid it's called المشاكلة في التعبير okay brothers that the innovations two types especially now that we're talking about it from the angle of science of حديث البدعة العال the innovations are two types بيدعة مكفيرا طول بيدعة which is disbelief the person leaves the fault of al-Islam because of it okay يكفر صحبها بسببها the person will be made a disbeliever due to it كأي أعتقد it is like if a person starts to believe ما يستلزم الكفراء anything that necessitates disbelief he believes in it والمعتمد أن الذي والمعتمد أن الذي ترد روايته من أنكر أمر متواتر من الشرع معلومة من الدين بالضرورة أو من اعتقد عكسه it is anybody who rejects a matter which has come to us in a multitude narration from the sharia a knowledge in which is known out of necessity anyone who starts to believe opposite to it this is what the علماء refer to as بدعة المكفرة the second type is called بدعة يفسق it is a bid'a which is fast fast only the person becomes a fast لا تختفي بدعة تخفير أصلا but it doesn't necessitate for him to become a disbeliever so what is the rolling of the narration of an innovator in Canada with scholars they said a rejected narration right but it's not just all like that the scholars have explained it they said إن كانت بدعة المكفرة if he's bid'a it led to disbelief to rudder your way to who his narration is rejected such as من العربي محيدينا من العربي the owner of the كتاب فصوص الحكم he's bid'a as he reached kufr like the جهمية كفر in their belief the second one is إن كانت بدعة مفصقة if the person's bid'a is مفصقة which is the second type جمهور of the scholars of Hadith are upon the view that two conditions are added to it if he fulfills those two conditions even though he has a بدعة المفصقة his narration is accepted they say اللي يكون داعية إلى بدعة as long as he's not a caller to his innovation if he's a caller to his innovation the narration is not taken from it the second one is وَأَلَّا يَرْوِي مَا يُرَوِّي جُبِدْ عَتَعُ and the narration in which he is narrated has to not follow his belief so if a Shi'a is narrating a Hadith and the Hadith is of the virtue of Ali is not taken from him because this Hadith it supports you use it and may even lie because of it because he wants to push his view so scholars won't take it then ابن حجر حمر الله he said the last one insha'Allah which is سوء الحفر سوء الحفر which is that the person's memory is bad سوء الحفر he has bad memory what does it mean سوء الحفر اما سيء الحفر it means من لم يرجح جانب اصابتي على جانب خطائه it is anybody who لم يرجح who doesn't do ترجح strengthen جانب اصابتي sorry لم يرجح sorry sorry لم يرجح it hasn't become clear it hasn't become strong جانب اصابتي his angle of getting it right على جانب خطائه his angle of getting it wrong it hasn't become clear سوء الحفر I'm not able to say that this is the strongest of him they don't know whether he gets it right or the one he gets it wrong they don't know it it hasn't become clear which of it the angles of his correctness they can't distinguish which one is which they can't the types of سوء الحفر the سوء الحفر is divided into two ينقسم سوء الحفر الى قسمان is divided into two لازم it's a لازم means a bad memory سوء الحفر is a bad memory it is attached to the narrator it's connected to him غير منطق it's not separate from him it's stuck to the narrator in all of his situations nothing came to him it's just naturally how he is the second one is the narrator was never like this this matter came to him later why? maybe he grew older and he's old now or his eyesight went or his books got banned in which he used to rely on and this is what the scholars they referred to as what this one this one which is the second one which is the one whose memory changes because it used to be strong it changes the scholars they call this one مختالت a person from mixed up they call it مختالت a person from mixed up he mixed up that's the second one so if the narrator what is the rolling what is the rolling if the narrator has bad memory what is the rolling regarding his حالي anyone whose whose memory was always like that he grew up like this his whole entire life he was known to have bad memory فريواية ومردودة to his narrations and reject it as for the second one المختالات مختالت is the one أطارع على الرعوي is something that happened to him which is the second type right the second type which is the one who mixed up فالحكم على روايته to give a rolling regarding his narration is اتفصيل العالتي is as follows with these conditions فما حدث بعد اختالات anything that he narrated before he mixed up وتميز دالكة and the scholars of Hanitha are able to distinguish between it the narration prior to that is accepted وأما ما حدث بعد اختالات as for what took place after his mixing فمردودة is rejected that's the other one which is the one who ولم يتميز it didn't make the scholars of Hanitha unable to distinguish between what قبل اختالاتي أو بعده when he mixed up before or after they can't tell توقف بي حتى يتميز it is scholars they will hold from him until it becomes apparent they will hold from him until it becomes apparent now let's go back brothers on a very important topic sorry let's go back according to what ابن حجر said to his book فالأولو the first type who remembers what was the first type the first one that we took when we recorded اطعه في الراوي اطعه في الراوي when we started it what did we say the first one was called ابن حجر is not going to take you back to each one what is it called in Hanitha the one who lies what is this Hanitha called الموضوع fabricated that Hanitha is called fabricated fabricated Hanitha is a Hanitha which is made up on the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام the narration pay attention which is due to the lying on the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم that Hanitha is called موضوع what is موضوع meaning linguistically هو اسم مفعول موضوع linguistically is اسم مفعول and it comes from what وضع الشيء to place something وضع الشيء ميديه is to place something from your hand okay why is it a Hanith called وضع because it places the person places it down it goes down from its level the reason why it's called لنحطامي لنحطاة رطبته because of the when somebody places something down what happens they put it down right the Hanitha has gone down that's what it means linguistically that's why that's what it means technically it means هو الكذب it is to lie المختلق which is made up المصنوع المنصوب إلى رسول الله which is then ascribed to the messenger عليه الصلاة وسلم a person for forges he makes up a Hanith on the messenger عليه الصلاة وسلم الخطاب it is علم السنان and ابن الصلاة in his علوم والحديث they said that إنه the Hadith which is موضوع إنه شر الأحديث الضعيفة is the evilest a Hadith which are weak scholars have actually become amazed with the speech of خطابي and ابن الصلاة they said that's not right because the موضوع it's not from the Hadith of the messenger it's not even weak actually it's not weak it's fabricated it's fabricated because they said when you say حديث الضعيفة it is the weakest the evilest of حديث which are weak then علماء of language would say أفعل is تفضيل is your doing comparison so then some of it will be compared to the rest so you're scribing it to the messenger but it's weak or there's a reasoning the scholars they said that's not the case a Hadith which is made up which is one that has no basis no basis no basis حديث which is weak حديث which is weak can be due to a person's memory being bad there can be some basis there might be some reasons why this Hadith might become صعيح and etc حكم روايته what is the ruling of this narration أجمع علماء the scholars are a unanimous agreement على أن لا تحل روايته لأحد العالم حاله في أي معنى كان إلا مع بيان وضعه the scholars the person who narrates a حديث which he placed it what is the ruling regarding that narrator the scholars are in a unanimous agreement that it's not permissible to take a Hadith from that person anyone who lies about the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم how do those people who placed a Hadith what parts and what means do they take they have two ways how they do it the ones who fabricate a Hadith and they're called وضعين they are called what وضعين people just forge and make up statements في سياغة الحديث the form and the method which he do it for or the reasoning behind and the means in which they do it are two the first one is إما أن ينش الوضع الكلام من إيدي the person will forge the statement from his own self and then after that we'll make a chain of narration for it and then he will narrate it to the prophet so the word is up from him he chooses the word he makes it up from his own self then he thinks about a chain of narration he gets that chain of narration and he describes it to the messenger the second one is no وإما يأخذ كراما لبعض حكاماء وغيرهم ويضبع له إسنادل or he takes a speech about you know those wise people and those proverbs and sayings and he will take it and say that's nice oh by the way let's say that the prophet said this and he makes a chain of narration for it and he will ascribe it to the messenger عليه الصلاة وسلام how can a Hadith which is how can a Hadith be recognised how can it be recognised that the Hadith is fabricated the scholars they mention ways to realise it the scholars recognise it without even looking at the chain of narration they recognise it there are matters that these are matters without us looking at the chain these points that we're going to mention are enough to do with the chain it's before looking at the chain it's just hearing the Hadith the scholars of Hadith had ways to understand the Hadith the Hadith the Hadith the Hadith had ways to understand the first one is which is the simplest one اقرار واضع بالوضع the one who made the Hadith up with admit to it himself he was admit to it like أبي عصمة نوح بن أبي مريم عصمة أبي عصمة نوح بن أبي مريم he admitted that he placed فضائل الصورة القرآن صورة صورة every sura he made a virtue for it a virtue for it and he forged it against عبد الله عباس to the messenger عليه الصلاة والسلام so he admitted it himself he said it and admitted it to himself the second one is ما يتنزل منزلة اقراره something that can be placed that can be as though he affirmed it himself which is the second one it can be as though the second one is as though he admitted it and how is that different from the first one it is different from the sense which is he narrates from a teacher or person and then he is asked about when he was born they ask you when were you born and he tells when he was born and they find that the teacher died before his birth and that hadith is not known except through him so and he clearly lies and says حدثني فلاد فلاد told me حموك الله and so the scholar says when were you born he says this time and they know when they died so it is as though he admitted it because they found out what time he died and what time this guy was born so the scholars they say it can be placed in the placing of his and him admitting it


Hello. Good morning. It's nice to be here. I spend half my time in Boston and half my time here. So it's nice to be back. My name is Amber Case. I'd like you to could you just hold up all your phones really quickly? I think you won. You were the fastest one. So the idea is that you're all cyborgs, but some of you are more reluctant cyborgs than others. And you don't have to have anything installed in you to be a cyborg. The term cyborg actually came from a 1960 paper on space travel. And the definition is an organism to which external components have been added for the purpose of adapting to new ambient spaces. The whole idea of a cyborg is space travel. So that you can adapt as a human to places that humans shouldn't really go and they aren't able to survive in. And so I got my start studying what it means to be a cyborg and what it means to wake up next to a phone before your loved one in the morning and have a device that cries and you have to pick it up and soothe it back to sleep or turns against you if you don't upgrade it fast enough. Along the way, I was studying cell phones in 2007 when I was writing my thesis. I wanted to do something near the same location. In anthropology, you usually go to these other countries and study other people, this idea of anthropological otherness.   You're the one that you might want to study. Because now, just 15 years ago, we didn't have these little clicky devices that we were dealing with all the time. So I went around San Francisco and I watched people put their dog on pause as they were walking it on the street so they could answer a text message. I just pretty much looked weird with like a little clipboard writing down what people wrote. And a lot of people in my class said, why are you studying cell phones? It's not really a big deal. Why are you studying social media? And I said, well, one day everybody will have one of these and the world will have changed and we won't really notice it as much. And along the way, I found this concept called column technology. And I found all these different quotes. One quote that I like to quote is this 50 billion devices will be online by 2020. It depends on what you call a device and what you call online. But we're on our way to having many, many more connected devices than ever before. But usually this quote is given at conferences where chip manufacturers just want to make sure that we put more chips in everything without the consequences. And it's usually exciting. But anytime somebody gives a quote like this, I like to ask whether this sounds good or not. Let's consider the things that we already have in our lives. When the smart watches first came out, they just replicated all of the notifications you already had on your phone. So you had to change them. And it's nice if you have like an IRC or like a Slack alert. But people were just getting panicked because they were getting doubled notifications. And if you've forgotten to bring your phone, you probably have the phantom ring or buzz in your pocket anyway where you think somebody's trying to get in touch with you. This plus your wrist. Or all of these companies kept trying to, there was a whole year where lots of different device manufacturers tried to get me to make these smart fridges. They said, we want to make a smart fridge. And I said, can't we have smarter people, not smarter devices? Like, why do we need to have a smart fridge?   I don't have to worry about this at all. Or the idea that we'll tell you when the bananas have gone bad. The bananas have appeal. It changes color. I know when it's bad, I don't need $100,000 worth of technology to tell me that plus a startup in the background that's only going to have funding for two years and then go away and then my fridge will be bricked and I won't be able to use it anymore. When you put all this together, you get what I like to call the dystopian kitchen of the future. This is what it's like to program right now, right? I mean, everything's written in a different language. Not all of it's really documented. There's open source that's exciting and some that's not anymore. A bunch of employees want the new language. Some people don't. People leave. They don't leave behind anything. They expect you to maintain it. Half of it's hackable. I can imagine your teapot getting hacked and then that gets your password. I think on the Samsung fridge, apologies if Samsung is a sponsor, but on one of the Samsung fridges, you can use it to get somebody's Gmail password, which is kind of a cool idea. So all you have to do is walk into their house and got your email. But there have been times in which these things have failed already and this just increases the surface area for attack. I don't know about you, but I don't want to have to be a system administrator to live in my own home. I actually just want to go home and have an enjoyable time. This, you know, for those of you who have pets, you probably have an automated pet feeder when you leave and the ones that are attached to a wall and set on a timer, they're pretty reliable. But this startup called PetNet, they said, we'll go one step further. We'll make it so that you can Skype your pets too. So you can feed them, water them and Skype them and check in on them. So what do you think happened with this startup? So of course, the server went down and these connected pets, they, people didn't really know what was going on. They didn't know how long the server would be down for. There was kind of a Twitter update that said, sorry, our servers are down. So people had left, people, the website said, you can leave your pets, you can Skype them, you can check in on them, never worry about your pets again. And then a couple weeks later, oh no, everyone's worrying about their pets. They're breaking into their own houses, calling their spouse. Can you somehow go back from vacations and things like that? So I said, well, this makes sense. I mean, if on the cover, on the cover, there's no box cover anymore, but on the site, it says that you don't have to worry. Do you really have to worry? So I went in the terms of service and it says, you agree that you will not rely on the services for any safety or critical purposes related to you or your pet and this is not intended to be 100% reliable. So where's the consequences? So then I tweeted at them. I said, so the one thing that you were supposed to do, you didn't do. And they said, yeah, well, we didn't implement offline support. That was in the bug tracking system. This is what I'm concerned about in the rush to just get everything out. And it's not usually developer's fault. It's really their managers and bosses or the marketer saying, you have to make the product. You have to to get it out. We don't care about code debt. We don't even know what that is. We'll just throw it out here. It'll be fine. Then these things fail. And as we get closer and closer as cyborgs to having these functions support our day to day, when things fail, it's catastrophic. So we have an era of interruptive technology. It's not just interruptive in that we're getting text messages all the time and robotic notifications but we're also dealing with bad battery life, disconnected networks, servers that go down. So how do we deal with that? How do we design technology for suboptimal situations instead of the perfect situation that we design it for in the lab? So we need the opposite of what we have right now. We need a kind of calm technology where the tech recedes in the background to supports us to amplify our humanness instead of just turn us into robots as we kind of are when we yell at Siri four or five times in a row because some of us have a slight accent or a list and it won't understand us the first time. The only time a technology understands you the first time is in Star Trek or in films where they can do 40 takes and they can just put the script in. And that aesthetic from film is what gave us these unrealistic expectations that technology could understand us better than we understand each other. We don't even understand ourselves, not to mention the person next to us. How could technology understand us better than that? So we have to work with the limitations of the technology that we have and make better experiences. When I was writing my thesis, I found Xerox Park and Mark Weiser and John Sealy Brown. Mark Weiser died in 1999, but he's kind of considered the father of ubiquitous computing, which we kind of now know as IOT. And the idea behind the research that many of these people did is that they didn't just have pure engineering. They had anthropologists and artists and social scientists to kind of balance out the pure engineering. And what they said is that in this paper called the coming age of calm technology is that in the future, the scarce resource will not be technology. Technology will be incredibly cheap. The scarce resource will be our attention and how we use tech and how we design to handle that attention will make or break future technologies because we have a limit to what attention we can have. And I think that every day, the amount of attention and information that our devices force us to deal with is kind of akin to maybe World War II style if you were like a general and you were dealing with all these information streams and having to coordinate them. But that's a wartime situation. We're dealing with that much information on a daily basis. So how do we kind of take our time back a little bit so that we can think a little bit better? My favorite quotes is for Mark Weiser. He just says, a good tool is invisible. And by invisible, it's not this invisible interface that doesn't exist. It's that a good tool is invisible because you can focus on the task, not the tool. If you look at somebody that's really great with woodworking, they don't focus on their tools and have to update the saw or whatever. They just use the saw and it's just an extension of their hand. It's just a tool. And a book is fantastic because the complexity is internalized and it's covered. So you just close the book and there's the complexity and then you store it on a shelf and then if you want the complexity, you open the book back up. It's pretty stable. You don't have to worry about updating the book and it's there and you can throw it on your shelf. And when you read a book, the interface dissolves you into it. You don't even notice that you exist anymore if it's a good book and well written because it's just there. So how do you design a column technology? Some of the research that Weiser and Brown did, I've kind of taken and compiled and put into a series of principles. The first one is that technology shouldn't require all of your attention, just some of it and only when necessary. An example of this is a tea kettle. You set it, you forget it, you can go into another room. It'll call to you when it's done. It's really simple. And this kind of column technology is just there when you need it, not when you don't and it lets you know. This is part of using your peripheral attention.  You can hear something in the background. You can feel something by haptics, by touch. How do you compress information into those different senses to still be attuned to your environment and get the same amount of information but not be distracted out of it?  Everything else like the foot pedal glancing back and forth between the rear view mirror, that's all there is secondary and tertiary attention to get you to focus on that goal and to keep all the variables of where the cars are in your head. This is a silly example, but this is the Lumo back posture sensor. It just buzzes you when you're slouching. Technology should inform and calm. How do you compress some information into a kind of ambient awareness? My old co-founder and I made this tiny hue light bulb system. It was just a hue light bulb attached to a weather report. So instead of having a disembodied computer voice wake you up and tell you the weather report, you just walk into the kitchen and it will just show the color of what the temperature is going to be like for the day. So I was walking in the kitchen this morning and it was a few years ago, but it was yellow and I knew it was going to be sunny in Portland. I was really excited because most of the time I would wake up and it would just be blue. It was awful. But I didn't have to look at the weather report if I didn't want to, but there's just an iPad on the wall so you can see it at any time. But the idea is low resolution, then high resolution. Give the person a choice to go from low resolution to high resolution so that they're just not attacked by the information. Technology should amplify the best of what tech can do and what the best of humanity can do. If you try to make a technology that acts like a human, you end up putting humans on pause. You end up making humans act like robots. I like Google because when it first came out people tried to scroll down because they didn't know how to use it, but the idea of Google is just a human switchboard. It's just connecting you to what other people have done on the web with a bunch of bots behind the scenes. It's doing 80, 90% of the work for you, giving you results, but you're the one that's choosing the result. It's not trying to make a choice for you. And in this way, you're collaborating with machine side by side. You're not having the machine choose something for you, which will almost always be wrong or if it's right, really terrifying like on Amazon. This is my friend Todd Huffman. He found that all of these biologists were scanning tissue samples by hand and they would lose their vision over time. It was a horrible thing. So he said, well, I'll just take some Alienware computers and make a robot that scans the tissues and does two-dimensional scanning of a three-dimensional tissue sample and then with a network of doctors and a voting system, be able to send a sample in, see whether it was cancerous or not, and then send that back to the database. And that cybernetic feedback loop, not an AI, not machine learning, a cybernetic feedback loop with humans and computers was able to be more accurate and be able to predict cancer at larger and larger time spans before the cancer actually hit. And that's much more interesting to me than a closed system that you think is perfect. You say, these things are imperfect. We can improve them over time. Let's make something that's not entirely great, but it will improve. And even if it's 80, 90%, it's better than what looks like a perfect system that just doesn't scale at all. Technology can communicate, but it doesn't need to speak. C3PO knows how many 200,000 languages, but he's annoying in every single language. But R2D2 just has a language of cute beeps and you know, no matter what country you're from, no matter what background you're from, no matter what language you speak, you know exactly what R2D2 feels because you can hear this universal tonal language. When we have devices that speak to us in a human language, in English, not only do we have to translate them to a bunch of different languages to ship them all over the world, but we have limitations because we expect to be able to communicate with the device in the same way that it communicates with us. And that's one of the problems about having things that speak at us. This is an old installation. It was just a servo motor attached to a string, and this would work around based on the server activity at Xerox Park.  Everybody was wearing location tracking badges, by the way, so you could kind of see them on a board. But it was fun. It was like a social activity, and it was ridiculously silly. But this kind of art project, because they had artists there, and they were just doing weird things, was this fun indicator of what was happening without actually having to tell you what was happening. You had to go find out, and that created connections across different departments. The Roomba just gives you a tone. It goes, when it's done, and when it's stuck. And you have to help it out. And it's an awful vacuum cleaner. It doesn't even clean any of the corners. But people find it so adorable that cats right around on YouTube videos, because it doesn't expect to speak to you in this English language, and it's not shaped like a human. It's just a trilobite filter feeder. It's a prehistoric device that's motorized. Technology should consider social norms. What is a social norm? Well, everybody in this auditorium has a phone with a video camera in it, and that's normal. We aren't panicking like 15 years ago, saying, privacy is dead. Don't point that thing at me. What is this? Now people just use cameras on their phones to take pictures of their food before they eat it as a predigestive ritual. So whatever is normal is invisible. And you have to figure out what that norm is. Anything that restores you to that invisible norm is restorative. So it's like a prosthetic leg or glasses. They can be even decorative. We don't look at somebody who has glasses on and say, ah, that's terrifying. But we do look at somebody with Google Glass and say, oh no, the general public does. So you have to think, what was the difference between, let's say, Google Glass and an Apple product? An Apple product innovated through making a digital walkman that you could wear that could store more than a CD. And then you could wear that around, and eventually it led to a touch interface. And then it led to an app store where 14-year-olds can make a fart app where you press a button and it makes a fart sound. And then that led to dinner table discussions and friendliness and silliness. And then lots of apps being made in the store. And then you had Google Glass, which one of the only apps that came out for it that made a lot of sense was the blink to take a photo, which was terrifying. And when you release all of these features at the same time, people in the press usually focus on the scariest one, which is persistent video recording, which you can't do on Google Glass. It makes the display really hot and we can't even wear it for that long and then it runs the battery out. But tell that to the press. That's not as exciting as the world is over and Terminator glasses are here. So you have to figure out what the metabolism rate is for the people using your technology because people can only handle and digest maybe one feature per year if you're lucky. Like when elevators first came out, people were terrified that they'd get compressed into a disk like this because they'd never been accelerated that direction before. They had to be artificially slowed down. And then elevator operators were the only people who could press the buttons. People were afraid to press the buttons. And then when the elevator operators went on strike, people realized they could press the buttons themselves and they wouldn't die. And that's why we can press our own buttons on the elevators. This is how long it takes for new technologies to get into an ecosystem. The right amount of tech is the minimum to solve the problem. This is the hardest thing, especially when companies are getting so much funding right now. They're all just spending money on everything they can. I did a startup a couple years ago where we just said, let's raise the least amount of money we can. We wanted to do, we did location-based messages. We said, well, we can't afford text messages. So we'll try this new thing called push notifications. We didn't know how that worked. So we learned how that worked. And the whole time it was just, what can we not spend money on? Because each new feature, each new support module, every single thing that you do, the minute you add more things, you have to support every single one of those things and it becomes more complex. So how can you use the least amount to get the thing done so that lasts for a really long time? And that's hard to talk about when everybody's trying to build things really, really quickly. These are my favorite technologies. The toilet occupied sign on a plane is the only sign that doesn't change because it's a pictogram, so anybody in any language can understand it. Even if you're red green colorblind, you understand because it lights up whether it's occupied or not. And the streetlight is just a punctuation for reality. When we created cars and urban streets and districts, we kind of figured it out. It's a light indicator. Could you imagine making a streetlight today? You'd have the Bluetooth to each intersection on your phone and then you have to disengage and press 10 buttons and then it would send you an alert that says the light is green. You wouldn't be able to see which light it was and you get into it. It would be awful. So technology should make use of the near and the far. This is my kind of weird graph of what I think could happen in the future. If we had computing that was really far away from us in terms of mainframes, where if you were Bill Gates, you would sneak out in the middle of the night in high school and try to use your time share of 3 a.m. to 4 a.m. on it. And then we had desktops where everybody kind of had their own terminal in their house, which was a really nice time because you didn't have to have any web access because there wasn't really a web. I mean, you could have a BBS system if you wanted, but then suddenly all this data started to go away from you and to kind of like remote mainframe cloud things. I know that my Facebook photos are stored somewhere in the Dalles, but I can't just walk there and say, hey, can I have access to my photos in the server facility? They'll kick me out and they'll report me as like trying to hack into their server facility. So much of what we do now is not with us. And if you were to put your phone on airplane mode, you probably wouldn't be able to do anything other than like take photos and like the notes app and maybe the audio recorder. So what I'd like to see happen is we go back to a kind of desktop era, but it's on our devices that we use each of our devices as a kind of personal server. So if I go to the doctor, I can say, hey, I'm going to share my personal data with you for the next 30 minutes in order to get treatment plan. And then that data will be stored back to my own personal server. This is back to Star Trek. They all have personal servers. And then if somebody hacks into that database, they're only getting the data that's been shared for the last 30 minutes. So it's all about decreasing the surface area for attack and the excitement of trying to get into these kind of iceberg style databases. Not to say that this would work. There's a lot of interesting technologies that break bits up and allow you to download things from other people around you. IPFS is interesting to follow, but it'd be nice to see a mix process as much as you can on the device itself because there's a lot of power. And that way when you're on a subway and you get out of cell network range, you don't have a really bad experience. I love being in cars with this Sirius FM radio and you go into a tunnel and the song stops because they won't even buffer more than like three or four seconds. So you're going to download most of the song anyway. Why not have more in the buffer? Why not say that the experience is going to be bad for most people? They're going to have a bad phone. They're going to have horrible battery life. Why not make something work even when it fails? An escalator reverts to stairs when it fails. Why can't our technology when it fails degrade gracefully level after level so that we can guarantee a good experience for people? It's harder to build but the support requirements are far less if you do it right. So good design allows you to accomplish your goals in the least amount of moves and you try to take those moves away until there's nothing left to take away. Then a calm technology allows you to accomplish the same amount of goals with the least mental cost because I don't know about you but when we talk about automation do you want to automate hanging out with your kids or falling in love or getting married? I mean some of you might but the whole idea is that we have an excess of what the Greeks call the chrono time. It's kind of industrial time where it's 9 a.m. 10 a.m. 11 a.m. everything is structured and everything can just interrupt you but the Greeks also had a name for the opposite time, chyrus time, and chyrus time is this undefined time where you lose track of it, where you go into a state of flow or you say why was I doing that thing for six months that was totally unnecessary usually when you're on a vacation and you have this epiphany and then you have to go back to the work schedule. So if we make technology a little bit more like what they thought of maybe at Xerox Park we could have some of that time back we could get some chyrus time back and then we could be more intelligent instead of having smarter technology we could have smarter humans because the scarce resource is our attention that's the thing that we need to pay attention to and conserve otherwise we'll just be doing the same thing over and over again with more funding and it will crash in catastrophic ways we've never seen before and we'll have to clean up the mess. So I wrote a book on this called Calm Tech and I'm writing another book which is about if you have to have audio alerts how should you make them sound so this is just a sequel that will come out later this year and then I made a website where I put together all of the original research on Calm Tech and it's just calmtech.com and it has the principles there I really encourage you to read these original research papers some of them are from 1989, 1991 and they talk in a way that sounds just like you're reading it today it's really ahead of its time so thank you so much


We move now to other parts of Africa, where at the Democratic Republic of Congo, suspected Islamist militants killed at least 19 people and burned a medical facility in a raid on a village in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo early on Sunday morning, two original officers have said. The attack, which occurred around 1 a.m. in the village of Kirindera in North Kivu province, took place just a few kilometers from another attack on a village that killed at least 35 people last week. Burned beds in a medical center are a sign of what happened in this eastern Congolese village in the early hours of Sunday morning. So too are the pools of blood. At least 19 people were killed in Kirindera, two regional officials said, in an attack they blamed on a militant group that has pledged allegiance to Islamic State. Manadette Kavira says she was woken up by sound of the raid that started at around 1 a.m.  We had the chance to leave the house and feed to the bush. Kirindera is in North Kivu province and only a short distance from another village that was attacked last week. The army blamed last week's attack on the allies' democratic forces, a Ugandan jihadist group that moved into Congo in the 1990s. Luanzo Kambale, who lives in Kirindera, also blamed Sunday's attack on the ADF. He says his two brothers are in hospital and his two sisters were taken into the bush. The ADF has been accused of causing thousands of deaths over the past decade. The killings have continued despite efforts by the military, which is also fighting the M23 rebel group. It's another example of violence in Congo's east that has contributed to the plummeting public support for United Nations peacekeeping mission. The local's campaign at Musko, as it's called, is unable to stem the bloodshed. The delegation from the UN Security Council toured North Kivu at the weekend, including to a camp for displaced people. The M23's insurgency has displaced 600,000 in recent months. Congo blames Rwanda for supporting the group, the United Nations, the US and other international powers have made similar allegations. Rwanda denies this. During the UN tour, Congo's Minister for Humanitarian Affairs, Mudeft Mitinga, said he hoped that a clear message being sent to Rwanda would allow for peace and for those who've been forced from their homes to be able to return.


Hello, I am Dr. Charmila Chavda-Solanki, senior obstetrician and gynec-laparoscopic surgeon. I bring greetings from Manipal Hospital, Palavriha, Gurugram. Today I would like to make you familiar with the advantages of laparoscopic surgery. Laparoscopic surgery is done through very small incisions, just 1 centimeter and half a centimeter. So the advantages of such a surgery are very less bleeding during the surgery, very low chances of infection, very less post-operative pain. The scars are very small and minimal. The additions inside the abdomen in the viscera are very less. The recovery for your routine life is very fast and you return to your work very quickly. Thank you.


Just because there's a pool in the back yard doesn't make the house more valuable. What it comes down to is a 50-50 ratio. Half the buyers out there want a pool. The other half don't want the pool. They don't want the extra cost. They're afraid that somebody could drown in it. They don't want to follow the bylaws, etc., etc. Today, right now, because of COVID, everyone wants a pool. And I'll bring it right back to the beginning. Who would have thought that you guys would be busy, much like debt companies, barbecues for sale. They don't exist anymore. Generators, you can't find one. The supply and demand is high and low. It's all the amount of backyard projects and anything and everything you can do or want to do to your backyard is in high demand and supply is low. Everyone looking, not everyone, but a good chunk of people looking for a house right now do want it to come with the pool because they don't want to have to deal with the hassle of trying to find someone that they could get a pool from.

As you can see behind me over the mountains, there's a haze across downtown Parkville and across Park County. So it has definitely been something that residents have noticed and public health has noticed as well. Authorities report that over 482 wildfires are currently raging across Canada, consuming nearly 30,000 square miles of land. According to the EPA and the National Weather Service, the current air quality is considered unhealthy for special populations. So we're certainly watching to see what happens over the next couple of days. Today it is slightly improved as compared to yesterday, but again remains in that unhealthy to special populations area. The AQI measures the level of pollutants in the air on a scale of 0 to 500 with higher numbers indicating poor air quality. If you do need to go outdoors and you do suffer from like respiratory disorders, heart and lung disorders, you know, maybe wear a mask. You might want to consider that. But mostly stay indoors if you can. Professionals anticipate improvements in air quality in the coming days, but they emphasize the need for caution and urge residents to stay informed about the conditions. Even healthy individuals might want to consider, you know, going from strenuous to moderate activities if they're outdoors. One way to check the current air quality is to visit the website airnow.gov where real-time updates are provided. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Ethan Miller.


Hey friends and welcome to my channel I am Yoshida and this is Norris Cove. Today we're in the B6. My whole filming order is off okay. I used to start in my Fobonichi but now because my B6 is my pretty much everyday carry I start with this so that way if I need to write something down I get it done. We're going to jump right in but first I got to show you guys my Planet Swag. I got this from Fear and You. F-I-R-A-N-D-Y-E-W I'll try to leave the link below. I've been wanting some you know you all know I made my own but it just didn't look like this okay. So I just decided to break down and just purchase my own. I'm eventually trying to move into my A5 which is here let me show you guys.  I almost got her ready but I'm putting some things together and I'm waiting on a few more things to complete her so that we can just do a setup with her. So this is what last week looked like. I used the kit from my shop. I actually love this kit. It was just plentiful and I had some leftover that I worked in another little B6 kit and I'm going to show you guys that because we're going to use that because I'm switching up the layout a little bit this week and this is how I did I actually wrote in it. So I'm going to put this to the side because this is the present layout that I'm using. I'm finding that it's not enough room for me and I just may use it for something else but at the present time I don't like that layout. So I got this kit. I downloaded this kit. This planner from Gensible planners. I'll try to remember all the links and put them below to the shops but this is what it looks like. As you can see like I said I had leftovers and I think I did a Instagram post about how I just added that second kit. The leftovers plus I had some miscuts. I added them to this to see how I could kind of plan in it. So that's how that came out. So it's just like an extra and these are dated. That's the only thing this is dated but and then you get your notes section over here. So it looks like this. It says September Monday Tuesday Wednesday Friday. So you have a week on four pages and then that and then this is let me zoom in just a little bit and then you have your note section here. So this was September the 14th. Some of you just a kind of back plan and I thought about maybe holding on to it or putting some more because I always kind of use date covers. So we're going into, y'all I don't even know what the date is. The 23rd through the 29th. So I got a lot of things going on this week. Last week was so busy. So we're gonna just start planning. I'm gonna decide on which kit I'm gonna use. I just did a haul and I have this kit here from Print Petico Bandit. I have this kit here from D. E. K. Designs and I have a Nikky Plus 3 kit. Oh no. I think and I want to, I love the Nikky Plus 3. I'm gonna save this Nikky Plus 3. I'm gonna use one of these D. E. K. Designs. This is my freebie. I'm trying to think. I'll save this one for that short kit if I decide to go back to it. Y'all pardon me because I thought I had thought about it but obviously I hadn't. It's foiling and so pretty. I really wanted to use this one. It's the first day of fall. Today is Monday and I am filming. So I'm gonna use this nice little cozy kit. So that's what I'm gonna do. So I'm gonna go to the date covers. I'm going to lay these date covers. I'm gonna see if I got some. Oh look. Y'all I've been keeping my stuff. I love these little boxes. I saw Nikky Plus 3 having these boxes. I kind of had to have it. And it's not the same but it's close. Look at that. That matches. I'm gonna use this washi too. So I'm gonna lay these date covers. I'm going to open this washi and I'm gonna lay my washi and my date covers. Oh but she has washi. I'm gonna find some way to use this one. Okay and I'll be right back. Okay you guys. So I'm about to lay the washi. I thought I was gonna use that washi but I said you know let me just use the washi that kind of come with it. Then again yeah. I'll just use this washi. So you guys. I'm gonna put it here at the bottom because I like to maximize my space as much as possible because I am pretty much I've come to the conclusion I'm a functional but decorative planner. Like I love Deco but I like to be functional like I actually use my planner and that's like the only thing that not necessarily discourages me but sometimes the reason why I don't want to run an Etsy shop is because I need to plan because it has worked wonders. Planning is one of the best things that happened to me. Planning is one of the best things that's happened to me because I've been able to that's something else I haven't stuck with my budget. No I pretty much haven't. I haven't stuck with my budget since I've been planning. Well not planning so I've got to get back to that. So let's see. This kid okay it's just beautiful.  Do y'all agree?  At night I watch I think I close out of here for it. At night I watch videos I fall asleep on some of them that I forget to comment before I doze off but I do see a lot of videos and that's my kind of wind down time and I just enjoy watching other people's videos. I find out about like new shops like this is the one of the pieces of the deco. This is a piece of the deco like header box so I'm gonna put I hope I got enough of those. I decided to use this kit and this kit was only like okay let me make sure yeah so we're gonna make the best of it so I'm not gonna use them as headers but I may take that tape and run it as headers I just don't want it to be too junky too janky you know. Also you guys I used my own date covers because this didn't come with me date dots it didn't come with date dots so I used my own and I randomly found those and I was making an order and my like I said my silhouette does its own thing so I was gonna incorporate some and I found these but I was like I don't even really they were missing some so I was like I can't use those so at any rate here we are so I had them my own and I couldn't find my happy planner ones I don't know why I'm acting like I don't need tweezers so how have you guys been guess what today's the first day of fall as some people say spooky season I'm not a big Halloween person but I love fall and I love the look of pumpkins and all that but I'm as far as Halloween goes I'm not a big Halloween person I'm gonna put these things in here straight if it kills me eventually turn I've been in this since January and we're going into the 10th month and I still know how to lay these things let's see okay days 23rd Friday is my son's birthday so I've got to find something I'm back and I know I was gonna fast forward through that part because it was just too much and I was trying to concentrate and get it done so this is one of the little icons gecko and they drinking coffee I think that is so cute I want they sell those by itself so I put that on Monday because today's Monday I've had my cup of coffee put this where to get one of those there Sunday I want to sleep and I'm just gonna put this here just to take up some space this little thing here she got her robe on this is too cute I wish I could on Thursday Tuesday I'm hoping Sunday I'll be able to kind of staking in nope Sunday is when we're taking the kids to my 70s friends to Dave and Buster I tried to straighten stuff y'all but the whole paper came up so that's Thursday I think I got some stuff to do on Thursday I know I'm gonna try to get back on schedule as far as filming early so I'm gonna try to all my filming today I really don't have a lot to do this week so I didn't get to use these so that's okay I use this whole page so I can throw that away yay I love when I use the whole page there is nothing left like I want to take these off and stick them on this page so this is what I have left so I'm done let's take a look at it and I decided to cover up the notes part there and I could have stretched my washi tape a little bit more and then I use the washi tape here at the bottom that came with it and I think that washi tape match this perfect and I think I got that one in one of my boxes so this is the kit look at it so pretty let me zoom out so I can function I can plan so I want to do this one first I can finish planning so I'm gonna add that to my kit I really don't want to take the other one out this one now one thing I can appreciate about the 1407 planners is the paper so I tried to get the thickest paper I think I have the 32 pound paper and this one but it doesn't feel as smooth as the 1407 planner so it fits it does so if I decided to go back to the other one is here I'm gonna use that for something else I've done that before so I hope you guys enjoyed this video let me give you a good look at it how cute is that so pretty and for the first year fall it's not real real fallish you know so but it's pretty and that's that and the foil from the tape is popping too I love it okay thank you all so much for watching and I will see you in my next video bye


Hey Abbott, what time is it? It's time for the Abbott and Costello Show. We're on the air for ABC here in Hollywood. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go with the Abbott and Costello Show. The Abbott and Costello Show, produced and transcribed in Hollywood for your listening and laughing pleasure. Juckles with a carload and music by Matty Malnick. So hold on to your chairs, folks, for here they are. What Abbott and Lou Costello. Well, it's about time you got here. Where were you? Well, I went to the YWCA girls place softball. And one girl was running the third base. She slipped and fell and landed in my lap. And boy, was I mad. Why? The umpire made me put her back in the game. Was she a pretty girl? Oh, pretty. Abbott, she was gorgeous. I mean, the day went after the game, and brother, did she send me? She did. Yeah, but when I got back, she wasn't there.  Who do you think you are, Casanova? Who do I think I am? Who do you think you are? Casanova? Casanova? I may not be Casanova, but people say that I'm as good looking as Van Johnson. Who says that? How do I know? Do you think I go around eavesdropping? Well, if she's such a pretty girl, why didn't you propose to her and marry her? I can't marry her. I don't know anything about her. What difference does that make? In Africa, a man doesn't even know his wife until after he marries her. What do you mean in Africa? Dope, you don't even know what marriage is. Yes, I do. Marriage is a friendship that got out of control. You shouldn't have any trouble getting married. Lo, you shouldn't have any trouble getting married. Do you know that out here in Hollywood, there are two girls for every man? Two girls for every man? Are you sure? Certainly. Then some dirty sneakers got four. You'll never get a girl until you settle down and become a man of regular habits. I am a man of regular habits. Then how come you were out until four o'clock this morning with that red head that lives next door? That's one of my regular habits. I... Costello, I can't understand how girls go out with you in the first place. Abbott, it's my terrific magnetism. You've got magnetism?  Why don't you be like me, Costello? I've got a way with women. You haven't got a way with many lately. I happen to be the reason that women leave home.  And they'll be back on it in just about one minute. But first, let's hear this. My uncle Mike was robbed while he was asleep. Paul, now wait a minute, how could your uncle Mike be robbed? He's got all his money sewed up in his long underwear. Oh yes, well it was a hot night and he left the back door of the bank open. Next page I'll find out why not. I've got plenty of reasons. Saturday night they arrested my uncle Jim Kelly. He broke into a grocery store and he stole $390. Why did he do it? The poor guy was hungry. Well, if he was hungry, why didn't he steal all, why didn't he steal all the money, Lou? Why didn't he steal some groceries or something? He's a proud man, Abbott. He likes to pay for everything he gets. And besides, he needs the money to buy a new car. Wait a minute, he'd be better off without a car. Costello, it's very dangerous driving in California. You're telling me? In Los Angeles you have to drive for five people.  Oh, wait a minute, that's only four cars. Who wears the fifth?  He's got his own truck? Yeah, you should see it, Abbott. It's one inch wide and a block long. A truck an inch wide and a block long? What does he deliver in it? Spaghetti. It's pretty cool. Meatballs? B.R. Spaking any money in the truck and business, Lou? Oh yeah, she did so good last week that he bought his wife one of those new electric blankets. Saves her a lot of time around the house. Oh, wait a minute, how can an electric blanket help her with the work around the house? Well, she takes the eggs and the bacon to bed with her. And when she gets up in the morning, breakfast is ready. That electric blanket is making her very popular, too. What do you mean? Last night she turned it on too high and now... Yes? She's the toast to the town. Mr. Costello, Mr. Costello, I've got to talk to you. I've got a great idea. Wait a minute, Mr. What's the idea of breaking in here like this? Well, I've got an idea that will make you too the most popular comedy team in radio. What is it? I'll stamp your name underneath every cow in the country. Wait a minute, wait a minute, how will that make us popular? Well, at least you'll have all the farmers pulling for you. Susan, I'm certainly glad you showed up tonight because I'm going to sing a duel with you. Costello, you mean a duet. A duel is where somebody gets hurt. You never sang with me, did you? I don't like a brag, but would you believe that I taught Bing Crosby how to sing? No, I wouldn't. You're right, but once in a while I'd catch a sucker. Costello, you don't know the first thing about music. Well, I'll have you know what, I studied music. I went to a singer school. I used to study until I was blue in the face, and then the teacher presented me with a medal. For being the best singer in the class? No, for having the bluest face. Down at the beach, I bought one of those new French bathing suits. It comes equipped with a shoehorn and a hacksaw. Why did they give you a shoehorn and a hacksaw with a bathing suit? Well, the shoehorn gets me into the bathing suit, and after I wear it, I'll need the hacksaw to get me out of jail. Nice kid, Abbott. The only thing is she's money mad. Money mad?  That's so wild. Remember, Costello, money isn't everything. You know, you can't take it with you. It's nice to have it here so you can say goodbye to it. You know, my family's always had money. In fact, my uncle Rudolph was one of the first gold miners in California. One day, when he was in the mine digging for gold, he was killed by a falling spade. A falling spade killed my uncle Tom. Was he a gold miner? No, he was killed by the ace of spades that fell out of his sleeve in a poker game. Well, Costello, you'll never have to worry about money as long as I've got it. We're pals. Share and share alike. Well, I feel the same way about you, Abbott. That's swell. You mean you'd share everything you have with me? If you had two cars, you'd give me one? Sure. If you had two houses, you'd give one of them to me? I certainly would. And if you had two department stores, you'd give me one? Yes, sir. We're pals. Share and share alike. Swell. If you had two dollars, would you give me one? No. Why? Because I've got two dollars. I'm trying to tell me that money means more to you than I do. I didn't say that, Abbott. Well, does it? Yes. That settles it, Costello. I'm going to my vacation to New Jersey. And I'm not taking you with me. Who wants to go to New Jersey now? When we were there last summer, the mosquitoes were so big they were carrying baseball bats. I woke up in the middle of the night, and two of them were sitting on my stomach holding a conversation. I don't be silly. The mosquitoes can't talk. Don't tell me these two were certainly chewing the fat. Only mosquitoes bite our female mosquitoes. Well, the one that nipped me when I was bending over to tie my shoe was no lady. The night your uncle Roy got drunk, the mosquitoes were biting him all night and it kept me awake. Well, if they were biting him, why did he keep you awake? Well, they'd bite him and then come over and sit on my bed and hiccup. Right. Still on second thought. I don't think I'll go to New Jersey. I need a complete rest where nobody would bother me, where the name but Abbott means nothing. Oh, you're staying in town, eh? I think I'll go to Honolulu. Last time I was there, I met a beautiful, made-up girl. She was gorgeous and what a figure.  Ah, brother, she taught me plenty. She did? Yes. You should see me carry a basket on my head. And that? Have you been getting plenty of rest? No. And I've been having a lot of trouble going to sleep. Last night I didn't fall asleep till 11 o'clock. What time did you go to bed? Five minutes to 11. I... Castella, you need a... Castella, you need a vacation. You've got to stop running around with girls. It's affecting your brain. I think you're right about that. I know it. Last night I had a date to pick up a girl at Hollywood and Vine. I drove down to Hollywood and Vine. Then I went to dinner and all during dinner I felt as if I'd forgotten something. Then to a movie and all through the movie I felt as though I'd forgotten something. Then I drove to Griffith Park and I started to neck and I still felt as if I'd forgotten something. Then I went home and I remembered what I forgot. What was it? I forgot to pick up the girl. Uh-oh. This week at this time, the Abbot and Castella show presents our feature singer and here he is, ladies and gentlemen, Howell Winters with Maddie Malnick and his orchestra. I ain't going with her anymore, have it? We had an argument about mustaches. She likes them and I don't. You mean she wanted you to grow a mustache? No, I wanted her to shave her... shave hers off. I... I really like tea. Yes, and when we broke up I asked her for a picture of her face so I could remember her lovely teeth. Well, did she give you the picture? She didn't have a picture so she gave me the teeth. I... Have a leading lady now. Wait a minute. How about that little brumette actress? No, I'm mad at her too. We had a date at Hollywood and Vine last week and she stood me up. Did you tell her off? I'll say I did. I just... how dare you stare me up at Hollywood and Vine. And she said I was... she was sorry and now we have an understanding. You have? Mm-hmm. Now she's going to stand me up at Sunset and Vine. That's all I think this idea for doing detective stories is going to be a flop. You know nothing about detectives. Well, my whole family were detectives, but my uncle Tom was smart as a whip. But they threw him off the force. Why?  Why did Tom really get thrown off the force? Well, if you must know, he was taking bribes. He used to put the money in his shoes and the chief found it out. If he put the money in his shoes, how did the chief find out? He got 18 inches taller the first week. Who else in your family were detectives? Well, my twin uncles, Gus and Billy, they joined the force on the same day. Billy's... Billy's first assignment was to find a gorgeous secretary who had stolen a million dollars from her boss. What was Gus's first assignment? To find Billy. Were any of the other Castellas detectives? Yes. Two of my cousins, Bert and Harry, they were working on a case at the racetrack.  A difficult case? Oh, very difficult. Difficult then? Yeah, very difficult. Bert and Harry disguised themselves as a horse and slept in the stables. One night, a guy came along and jabbed him full of dope. What did they do? What could they do? They came in third and paid 280. They're a same shovel story for the night. It's one of my most famous cases. I call it the case of the boy named Tony, whose mother kept him locked in the closet, or Tony's home permanent. Sounds interesting. Well, let's get on with the case. Genuine four dicks. Do not accept March Field. Sitting in my little office down by the waterfront all by myself. Plain gin rummy the hard way. $900. And I'm worried. I know I'm not good for it. Being a private detective isn't a bad racket. I remember the first day I opened this detective office. I threw a party.  I bought a carton of beer, and as I was carrying it up the stairs, I tripped. All the bottles were broken. Beer was leaking all over me. Everybody cheered and congratulated me. I had broken my first case. Something creeping up behind me. It slew tenon Abbot of the homicides. The man whose single hand had caught babyface Nelson, babyface Cooper, and babyface Brown, which wasn't too difficult considering they were all babies. Detective Abbot speaks.  Okay. I will. Still dark in here. I know. I don't have any windows. There's a soap box for a desk. A rug made out of old newspapers. Yes, and you may not believe this. Lieutenant, five years ago I started out with nothing. I happened to be sitting on a chandelier I would have been killed. The detective business? Sure. If I'm lucky, I may get to be Ellery Queen for a day. If you wanted a tire, it's yelling for help. Occupy it. The universal international overseas interstate trucking company. Where do they ship to? Glendale. Next door and investigate. It may be the killer. Where do I get my weapons? My gun, my blackjack, and today's newspaper. Today's newspaper's a weapon? If I mess with the gun and the blackjack, I'll show him the headlines on the paper and he'll worry himself to death. The man on the floor. He's in trouble. What happened, mister? Does it hurt? I'm in the stool pigeon. He'll sell us the information. What makes you so sure he will? For money, Herman would sell his own grandmother. How do you know? I bought her three times already. Ten and Abbott and went looking for Herman the stool pigeon. Then I'm in a trip to the Los Angeles waterfront, the toughest part of town. What a tough neighborhood. The only place in Los Angeles where the pedestrians knocked the cars down. I was scared. Plenty scared. My throat was so dry I could feel the seeds in my Adam's apple. I drew my trusty revolver. I didn't know whether to put it in my holster in my pocket. Then I decided to check if the gun was loaded. I held it against my head and pulled the trigger. Putting the gun in the hole in my head, I started for the docks. Hey, you're just like that for... Hey, Detective Abbott. It's dark. I can't see you. I'm here on the wall. On the what? Wall. Wall. Wall. I can't hear a word you're saying as a dog barking someplace. Inside me. She was more beautiful than ever. She spoke. Hello, sir. Miss Waterfront. Call me Lil, you gorgeous hunk of man. Okay, Lil, you gorgeous hunk of man. That's the same. You've got to find out if she's a smuggler. Okay. Be sceptle. Don't let her know you're after information. Okay. Take it easy. All right. Okay. Lil, are you a smuggler? Not to turn me over to the police.  Why should I turn you over? You can't look any better on the other side. You're not. You'll never take me alive. Quick, Sam, put the handcuffs on her. An ambulance will take Sam to the hospital. No, no, not the ambulance. Sam, don't you want to go to the hospital? Yes, but I ain't riding a no ambulance through that Los Angeles traffic. A man can get killed that way. A final reminder on this subject. A brilliant performance of Sam Shovel tonight. Thank you, but Abbott.  Yes, sir, you certainly were effervescent tonight. Did you ever see me when I ever fussed? I know what happened to Baron Munchausen's writers. We've got them. Hi, Foreman with Paul Conlon, Pat Costello. And our producer is Charles Vander. Good night, folks. Good night, everybody. Listen each Thursday night at this time for another great Abbott and Costello show, produced and transcribed in Hollywood. Be sure to stay tuned for the outstanding entertainment which follows throughout the evening on this ABC station. Thank you.


I generally don't believe in luck but I would like to also say I'm extremely fortunate I'm very lucky. So you know they did a study of entrepreneurs for a period of 30 years. Luck was 17th in the factor was made them successful.  So my concept about luck is very simple. There is a friend of mine Amar Chirani told me that there is a limiting belief and there is a empowering belief. So if you believe in luck it limits you because then you will always blame somebody else for when you are not lucky. But if you believe don't believe in luck then then whatever you do you are responsible for it and I feel that's empowering belief. So as at the end I would like to say the same thing I'm extremely lucky but I have zero belief in luck. One of the instances that I remember very very very vividly is that I was at a Rakhir Jhunjanwala event and I was going and refilling my drink and suddenly one guy stalked me when I knew and asked me that if you have one to be extra what do you do with it? What he meant was he put in the stock market or gold or fixed deposit. I told him that if I want to be extra it goes back into my company because that's where I make most amount of money and as luck would have it he introduced me to his father who invested five rows in Communicate 2 that saved us. So if I had not gone for refilling my drink at that moment of time I would have not met this guy called Tushar Jibrajka at that moment of time. In a few seconds here and there probably things would have been different for Communicate 2 and today I would probably be sitting here. So good luck has played a very very important role in my life.


How was it playing in the Champions League on Wednesday night in front of a packed house? the first 90 minutes in In a while a long time It was tough the body was very very Angry with me for a few days after That was good because you know we got the win and you know playing in front of the You know the the massive crowd it just I don't know it just it If you find energy that you don't have And you get through you know you're tired, but the crowd's there and it's just you know you keep going You've got more they give you more So it was tough, but I'm you know I'm glad I got through it hopefully We can all do a job on Wednesday. It's gonna be tough. No doubt You know we had a taste of it at training today There was a few fans, you know giving it to us a bit, but you know we're gonna stick together and We've got each other and as long as we've got each other, you know We're gonna be very tough to beat and you know, we've got a very good chance to go through to the semi-final I've been involved in a few different sort of Clubs in camps and that sort of stuff, but everyone is on the same page here. Everyone Wants to get the best they possibly can out of every single, you know Of their peers so, you know, it's it's intense. It's tough, but You know to get better to be the best, you know, you've got to work very hard and we're definitely doing that And I'm learning so much, you know from this from the senior players To crookie Trevor and Popeye that's I'm learning every day. So that's massive for me being Not so young, but still in a phase where I can still learn For me, it's all about Getting as fit as I can staying as fit as I can being available to play matches and learning as much as I can and The rest will take care of itself.
