Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Wanna get away from it all? We offer you... Escape! Escape! Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.  Listening to a faint voice from the blackness beyond. While the one who speaks with words of friendship is debating the destruction of your world. Listen now as Escape brings you Michael Gray's exciting story, The Invader. Here in the Nevada Desert our forward observation post is a slit trench less than two miles from ground zero of Operation Doorstep 8A bomb test. The time exactly 30 seconds to each hour. That's the voice of our official guide Colonel Jim Donovan. There it goes. There it is. You'll hear the sound of the explosion any second now. Did you see that flash commander? Yes. Check the cyclo gauges for reaction. No reaction, zero count. What an extraordinary race. Very primitive. The main object appears to be to kill each other off at periodic intervals. I wonder why the Council doesn't order extinction. There's hope. That's why we've been sent. But the red zero discs vanished on the same job last deal-o. Why waste more lives? The things should be exterminated. Don't be unscientific. The red zero discs probably disobeyed orders and landed on water. Water? Yes, water. What a place. What did they call those creatures, Commander? Humans. Humans? What an odd name. I'm afraid they're a very odd race. Yes, yes, Martha. I saw the bomb test on television this morning. You see it in school? No, dear. Into the lab. Call me when dinner's ready. I said I want to talk to you. Oh, yes, dear. Of course. I saw Mrs. Warren today. Yes, dear. Will you stop messing around and pay attention to what I'm saying? Yes, yes, dear. I should merely like to remind you that Mrs. Warren is your school principal's wife. She hinted that he's not pleased with your work. In fact, he's not pleased at all. Albert, do you hear what I said? Yes, yes, dear. Come back here. Now, stand still and listen to me. How do you think I feel having the principal's wife laughing at you and laughing at me, too? This is the third job you've had in the past two years. And you are going to keep this one. I know it's hard for a scientific genius to settle down teaching 12th grade chemistry, but this time you're going to stick, I mean it, Albert.  I'm just not going to spend the rest of my life following you around from job to job like a gypsy. Well, well, of course, dear. Well, I understand. You'd better understand. I'm not going to stand for it anymore.  There won't be any dinner for you. Commander, magnetron's oscillating. Probably magnetic storms. No, it's a definite signal on our channel. That's the council's calling. Raise and bring it in. Station MXA calling. Station MXA calling. Station MXA over and on. That's not the council. Check the frequency. It's the emergency band. Somebody's playing a joke. Tell them to clear the ether. Stellar disk white zero now. Moment. Ask for code check. Stellar disk white zero now. Give name. Code check. Station MXA. Where are you? Give me the frequent tone. Listen, MXA. This is commander of Delta ship white zero now on space mission.  Make a note for the log. We'll report it back to the council. What was his identification? Sounded like MXA. MXA. MXA. Check the cyclo-listing. There's no such station listed, Riss. There must be. Cross check and fix. Yes, Riss. Absolutely no listing. Oh, no. It's impossible. Those blundering primates couldn't have the intelligence... What's primates, Riss? Humans. It's incredible, but use the magna band. We'll keep emergency open. Fix and raise MXA immediately. Delta ship white zero now. Delta ship white zero now. Are you coming down to supper? Martha, it's amazing. I've made contact. I spoke to them. The Delta white zero now. I've checked the station list. There's no such call sign. It means only one thing, Martha. One thing. Space. Men in space. You know what that means, Martha? Oh, stop it! Albert, when are you going to grow up? Your dinner's getting cold. Commander Delta white zero now. Golding station MXA. Where are you located? Commander Delta white zero now. This is station MXA. MXA. I'm located at La Marada, California. What planet? Planet Earth. That's continent of North America. Who are you? Repeat who you are. Over. Are you humans? Yes. Yes. You... You aren't... No. Of course not. We're of Epsilon from the race of planetoid Delta. Delta? On mission of exploration for the council. Council? The council of quantum major of the Nebulae Ursula. We're arriving in your atmosphere in two dealers more to examine your planet. We cannot continue this unauthorized contact without permission from the council. If granted, we will raise contact again at your earliest light time tomorrow. Oh, did you hear that, Martha? Are you or are you not coming down to dinner? Oh, I've done it. Out there in space is another intelligence. Another race. And I've done... I've made contact. For the last time, are you coming down for dinner? Martha, listen. I've made one of the most important discoveries in the century. The first contact with another world, another people or something. Think what it'll mean for civilized. Think what they'll bring, maybe a whole new way of life.  Oh, Martha, that's impossible. Frequency is completely outside the UHF band. No station could even reach the range. Must less transmit speech. Oh, yes, tomorrow I can ask questions. All right now, I've stood enough.  I've been hoping that you'd come to your senses. But you heard, Martha. I've put up with this pile of junk long enough. If you don't come to your senses once and for all, I'm through with you. I'll give you five minutes more to wash and get downstairs or I'm through Albertana. I mean it. Wake up, Albertana. I'm kind of seven. Oh, yes, of course. Hurry up and get charred. You'll be late. Of course. Oh, I mustn't be late. Let me see now. Early light time. Early light time. Oh, I hope I'm not late. Where are you going? He said he'd make contact early and late. Light time. Don't worry about breakfast, dear. Just fix some coffee. You're getting showered and dressed now. Now do you hear me? You know what the principal said the last time you were late? Martha, I'm not going to school. Oh, I plan. Don't you understand, dear? Today I'm going to contact Delta White. No. In fact, I'm going to contact him right now. You mean to tell me that you're risking your job for that? That crazy? Oh, Martha, it's not crazy. Nobody on this earth could have transmitted on that frequency. I have one explanation. All right. I can see that there's only one solution to this. And you've asked for it. Martha, stop. What are you going to do? Martha. Get away from that door. Martha, please. By the time I finish with this place, get out of my way. All you need is a broom. Martha, stop. Stop when I say, Martha. You listen to me for a change.  And for 10 years I've listened to you nag me out of any sort of manhood.  We will return to escape in just a moment. In your town, in the next town, across the nation, you'll find the Red Cross. But the Red Cross is above and beyond all boundary lines for it is infinite in its scope. In time of hardships, epidemics, floods, fires, the Red Cross is the symbol and soul of humanity. You are part of that symbol because it is the money that you contribute that enables the Red Cross to continue its great work. Answer the call and humanity will answer you with gratitude. And now, back to escape. XA calling Delta White zero null. Station MXA calling Delta White zero null. This is Delta White zero null to Station MXA. Can you read us? You're coming in loud and clear. Council authorizes to continue contact. What is your name and function? My name's Tanner, Albert Tanner. I'm a chemistry teacher, Lamarata High School. A scientist? Yes, well, kind of in a way. We too have servants of learning. Did you construct this magnetron channel? Yes, but I'm afraid it's a bit elementary. I had to use war surplus stuff and that's never very satisfactory. Oh, is there war in your territory at this moment? Oh, no, no, Commander. Oh, everything's quite peaceful here. Good. We're looking for a suitable land space and don't want to arrive in the middle of your hostilities. You'd be very welcome, Commander. We plenty of space and open fields all around us here. It'd be a pleasure to have you. Thank you, Tanner. You're welcome, Commander. Might I ask, what is the position of your planet? Planetoid Delta is five light years behind the summer solstice. I'm afraid I don't understand that. In elementary mathematical formulae, its gamma is to the power of epsilon to the seventh vector. Oh, of course. Yes. Yes, of course. Now, how is it we haven't observed your planetoid before? I couldn't find you on any of our star atlases. We're exactly opposite your Sun. This would make observation by ordinary optical instruments impossible. But with our magnetic electroscope, we're able to filter out the solrace and observe you perfectly. I see. Oh, I see, Commander. When do you expect to arrive? By your time, late in your so-called afternoon. We shall determine that by later contact. Commander, might I ask a personal question? Of course. What do you, uh... Oh, well... What do you look like? I call members of the Race Delta, the Nebulae Ursula, of course. Is there any other way to look? Sergeant Williams. This is Mrs. Tanner, 35 Crescent Heights. My husband just made contact with a Delta Zero something in space. They're going to land this afternoon. I said that the men from space are going to land this afternoon. I heard my husband talking to them. You've got to send some policeman out of here, because I'm afraid... Oh, yes, yes, ma'am. Now, now, take it easy. How did you say your husband got this information? Through the radio. Oh, sure. Sure, sure, I understand. These spacemen radioed your husband. But I keep telling you, I've heard them. The door was open. I could hear them very distinctly.  This sounds like a matter for the army, Mrs. Tanner. Why don't you call them? Oh, but I don't see why I can't... Oh, all right, I'll call them. What's their number? One moment. Please, hurry, hurry. Are you still there? It's Marata 4637. Yes, yes, yes, thank you. I'll call them right away. Yeah, you do that, Mrs. Tanner. They'll take care of it. M... 4... 6... 3... M... R... 7... Please, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. Press Army, Camp Reynolds. Can I speak to somebody in charge? Please, please. It's urgent, it's very... What's it about, please? We're being invaded by Delta White. I mean, it's spaceships that are coming... Hold the line, please. I'll give you the duty officer. Are you still... Officer of the day, Lieutenant Jacobs. My name is Mrs. Tanner, Mrs. Albertana, 35 Crescent Heights.  Interesting, Commander. How long have you been in space? By your time, five months. But remember, our speed is twice the speed of light. Do you use atomic energy? We use the natural magnetic forces that surround the universe. What about friction heat caused by your velocity through the atmosphere? Our speed is adjustable by control of the magnetic fields we ride in. In any case, the disc hull is of Traxendium. It's pressured to withstand anything. Anything that is but water. But water? Water. But everything in nature has water. Even the human body is 80% water. What? You have water in your body? Yes, it's in different forms. Say, such as blood or sweat, but it's still water. Thank you for warning us. What's wrong with water? To humans, apparently, nothing. But to our life form, water is a deadly corrosive. But our atmosphere contains water. We know and have sufficient exterior protection of your atmosphere. Did you say your habitation was inland? Yes, you're perfectly safe, sir. We're over 100 miles from the nearest ocean or river. Now, if you will follow my carrier signal down to the landing, you'll be all right. Thank you, Tanner. I'll report your assistance to the council. Do you think your authorities will object to our visit? I'm sure they won't, sir. They'll be honored. We'll all be honored. I'm neither mad nor is this a joke. Are you or are you not going to help? Can't it wait till Monday? Look, either you send help right away or I'll send a report of your contact to my congressman with a copy to your commanding general. Yes, Mrs. Tanner. I'll be over. Do you really trust that human, commander? No, there isn't much option we've orders to carry out. It's an incredible race, but Tanner seems harmless enough. We're meeting pressurists. Probably entering the outer atmosphere. Better start degausing and settle on his carrier. 2700, 0, 2. No change. Switch on the water oscillograph. Oscillograph on. Variation? None. Good. We'd better check again with Tanner until we see ground. Right away, Ryss. Delta to MXA, over. MXA to Delta, you're in, loud and strong. We're entering your atmosphere. I'll check your approach on radar and keep tracking you. We're going off evil. Leave your channel open. Yamamata, I thought I told you this. This is Lieutenant Jacob from Camp Reynolds, Albert. I heard you talking to the Delta man, and I was...  Oh, I see. I suppose she told you a story about men from space. Well, yes, sir. Oh, all right.  They're coming in right now using my channel as a ground approach. You've been through signal school? I'm from 27 Signal Courser. I see, then you'll recognize the equipment. Tanner. Tanner, cross-check our position. We have a danger reading. You're heading straight for us, Commander. You're safe.  Did you check it again? Yes, I did. There's water down there. Tanner, our signals are at danger. Strong danger. Cross-check your fix. Counter-reversed the magnet. It's water. It's water, masses and masses of water. Tanner! We've hit water! It's an ocean! Help! Help! We're burning! Delta? Delta! What's happened? Cross-check their position, sir. But your fix is right. It's within 100 yards of this set. Let's get outside. Maybe it crashed into the field. Where is it? There's nothing out there. But there must be. Maybe it crashed into the trees or... Come on, come on. I'll read it, sir, but I don't... Go on. Go on. On Saturday, July 14th at 1400 hours, a telephone call was received from Mrs. On going out to the back lot, we could see no sign of the space disk. Our attention was then drawn by Mrs. Tanner to the fish pond from which steam could be seen rising. On inspecting the pond, a small circular object approximately 8 inches in diameter could be seen floating on the surface. On attempting to retrieve the object, it disintegrated as if attacked by a powerful corrosive. End of report. Well, you forgot about the men inside. You forgot to say something about their size. We never saw them, Mr. Tanner. Well, what do you do? Don't do that! Mr. Tanner, Mr. Tanner, I'm doing this for both of us. If I sent in the report, nobody would believe it. It's better this way. No, it's the truth. You saw it happen? Why, you know it happened. The only thing I know is there's no proof. As far as I'm concerned, it didn't happen. I never saw anything. I never heard anything. That's going to be my report, Mr. Tanner. No occurrence. Instant enclosed. Good afternoon, Mr. Tanner. Under the direction of Anthony Ellis, Escape has brought you The Invader by Michael Gray, starring Howard McNair. Faye Baker was heard as Martha with Edgar Berrier as the commander. Featured in the cast were Paul Freese, Peter Leeds, Bill Bissell, and the director of The Invader. The special music for Escape is composed and conducted by Leith Stevens. Next week.  So listen next week, when Escape brings you the best in Martha's exciting story, A Sleeping Draft. Tomorrow night, Lux Radio Theater brings back the miracle of Our Lady of Fatima for another thrilling performance. Eleven-year-old Susan Whitney recreates her original screen role as the child who first saw the prophetic vision co-starring with J. Carol Nash. Also, tomorrow night and most of these same CBS radio stations don't miss Joseph Cotton in Suspense's eerie production This is Roy Rowan speaking. And remember, Daytime is a Gay Time with Arthur Godfrey Time on the CBS Radio Network.


In the previous video, we learned about what a field is. Now, what I want you to take away from that video is that fields are the number systems that we're used to from previous algebra classes. For example, fields are exactly the environment where linear equations can be solved. So let, for example, F be an arbitrary field. It could be the real numbers or it could be some other field that we haven't discussed yet. It doesn't really matter. All we know about the field F is that we can add, subtract, multiply, divide numbers using the laws of associativity, commutivity, and the distributive laws, excuse me. So let F be a field. And let's solve the given linear equation AX plus B equals C. So what we mean here is that the coefficients A, B, and C, these are numbers that belong to the field and X here is a variable. We want to find a number, a scalar in the field F that we can assign to X to satisfy this equation. But that's all we know here. And so as X is a placeholder, can we find a number X that'll satisfy this equation? That is the solution to this linear equation and an assignment to the number X, not just the assignment to number X here, that'll make the left-hand side equal to the right-hand side when we perform the field operations in this case addition and multiplication. Now, if we don't know what it is, we would just start solving it, right? So how does one solve this? The fact that we don't know what the field is doesn't actually hinder us. The fact that it's a field means we can do the following. We take AX plus B, the number B has an inverse. And so if AX equals C, what we can do is we can add to both sides of the equation the number negative B. We're gonna add to both sides number B here. This is just using the additive inverse property. There exists some inverse to B. We're gonna add it to both sides. And if we add the same number to both sides, the things will still be equal. That's a property of equality here. Now, the next thing is we're gonna re-associate. We're gonna move the parentheses on the left-hand side, excuse me. So by redoing parentheses, we get AX plus B plus negative B. And then on the right-hand side, we simply just get C minus B. So on the left-hand side, we were able to use the additive associativity property. We were able to redo parentheses. Now, on the right-hand side, C minus B at adding negative B is the definition of subtraction. So continue on the left-hand side. If you take B plus negative B, that's gonna equal zero. That happens by construction. And adding zero to AX just gives us AX. Adding zero doesn't change anything. And so we've now used the additive identity property. Oops, identity. So you'll see that we've used all the axioms of addition. We use the inverse axiom associativity identity. And we also use commutivity, as I should mention right here, right? The fact that subtraction is a well-defined operation is a consequence of the inverses, but also commutivity. Cause C minus B, does that mean C plus negative B or does that mean negative B plus C? We can only define C minus B if we're allowed commutivity there. So what we've now done is we've got rid of the plus B. We took all the steps. Now, we usually go much faster than that, right?  You do that as like a one-liner. You might even do that in your head. And that's just because you're so accustomed to the field axioms that you can learn how to do it so quickly. What I want you to be aware is that if you can do that for real numbers, we can do that for any field. We can cancel the B on the left-hand side. We have to do the same thing for the A, the coefficient of A now. How do you get rid of the A? Well, if A doesn't equal zero, which if A equals zero, there actually wouldn't be an X and there would be no solution. So if A doesn't equal zero, I would then divide both sides by A. Divide both sides A. But when I say divide both sides by A, what I really mean is I'm going to multiply the left-hand side by A inverse. We're going to do that on the left-hand side as well. So again, we're now using the multiplicative inverse property. There exists this reciprocal element. We then are going to re-associate the left-hand side.  And so we're using the multiplicative and associativity property now, like that, going on. A inverse times A, that's going to equal just one. We get one X and the right-hand side, we get C minus B over A. We can write that as a fractional solution here. And then one times X will just equal X, like so. And so finishing up here, we use the multiplicative identity and the fact that division is well-defined, right? The fact that we're able to go from here to here is because we, in fact, have a multiplicative commutivity. Because if we weren't commutative, dividing on the left by inverse, A inverse can be very different than dividing on the right by inverse. We want this to be well-defined. And so we've now solved for A, or solved for X, excuse me, X will equal C minus B divided by A. And we can solve this linear equation using the axioms. Now you might be like, why didn't you use the distributed property? Why do we want that? Well, that allows us to have more complicated linear expressions. We actually have a very simple linear equation in this example here. And so the properties of a field allow us to solve a linear equation in every field. And so if we look at an example like we've seen before, two X plus one equals six, we can solve this by the usual manner, minus one, minus one, cancel. We end up with two X equals five. And so in order to do that, in order to cancel the one on the left-hand side, or sometimes we say, like we want to move the one to the right-hand side, to move the number one to the right-hand side requires we have, in terms of addition, inverse's identity, associativity, and commutativity. We need all four of those ingredients to move the number from one side to the other side. And to get rid of the two on the left-hand side, we have to divide both sides by two, and we get that X equals five halves. We can very quickly solve this equation, but in order to move the two from the left-hand side to the right-hand side, we need multiplicative inverses, multiplicative identities, associativity, and the commutativity property, right? We didn't actually need distribution here, but it will come up eventually. Again, if these things are a little more complicated. Let's look at a linear equation over a different field with complex numbers. I want you to be aware that the process of solving this is the exact same, although the arithmetic of adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing complex numbers might be a little bit more involved this time. So to solve this linear equation, because complex numbers are a field, what we have to do is we have to subtract three minus i from both sides of the equation. Now, when it comes to adding two complex numbers, bi, a plus bi, add it to c plus di. In that case, you just add like terms. You add the real parts, a plus c, and then you add the imaginary parts, b plus d. That's how we add them and subtracting is similar, right? So we're gonna get i plus one x equals, we take four minus three, which is one. We take five i plus i, because it's a double negative when you distribute that negative sign there. You get five i plus i, which is a six i, so we get i plus one times x equals one plus six i. That's how we get rid of that part. How do you get rid of the i plus one on the left? Well, you're just gonna divide by i plus one, divide by one plus i right here. This will cancel on the left-hand side, and so we see that x equals one plus six i over one plus i. This is the solution, although we should simplify it. Remember that when one multiplies by complex numbers, a plus bi times c plus di, what you get here is by the distributive property, right, the usual foil, you'll end up with ac plus adi. You get bc times i, and then you get bd times i squared. Now remember i squared is the square, i is the square root of negative one, so i squared is itself negative one, so you get ac minus bd, and then you get ad plus bc times i. And so if you want to, you certainly could just memorize this formula whenever you have to multiply complex numbers. I mean, if you don't, you could re-derive it by foil, but it can be a little bit faster is to kind of memorize what happens here. Division is handled very similarly when you're dividing complex numbers. If you have a plus bi over c plus di, the usual strategy is to multiply the top and bottom by the conjugate of the denominator, switch the sign of the imaginary part. And the reason you do this is when you multiply a complex number by its conjugate, you always end up with c squared plus d squared. It's just gonna be the sum of squares of its real imaginary part.   Let me put that all on the screen. So we divide complex numbers, again, you can just use this formula over here if you want to. Again, you can just re-derive it by multiplying by the conjugate each and every time, but in our example, if we were to go through the details of this, the bottom will look like one square plus one squared, so one plus one. In the top, we're gonna take a and c, which is that one, which is a one.  And then you're gonna start to, for the other one, you're gonna get crosses. So one times one, that's gonna give you a negative one. Remember the negative sign that we saw right here. And then you're gonna take b and c, which gives us a six again, like so. And so this simplifies to be seven plus five i over two. And when one works with complex numbers, it's generally best to write it as a real part and an imaginary part. So you get seven halves is the real part, and then five halves is the imaginary part. And this would give us the solution to this complex linear equation. Now be aware that this is how we could solve one linear equation with complex numbers. But the techniques we used here would apply for any linear equation over any field. The only thing that changes is not the algebra, but it's the specific arithmetic. How do you multiply complex numbers? How do you divide complex numbers? How do you add them? That's what's changed when we went from the rational equation to this complex equation. The algebra did not change. And that's why we're gonna focus on these different types of fields in our course, is that I want you, the student, to recognize that all of the algebra stays the same, but when you change field, it changes arithmetic. It never actually changes the algebra. And so in the next video, we're gonna introduce a new field and see that all of the algebra of linear equation stays the same, but the arithmetic of the field will change.


This is my favorite photograph of the Wright brothers Wilbur at the left Orville with a moustache They gave to mankind a magnificent new vehicle for flying into the air But here is a down-to-earth picture of the two of them sitting on the back porch of their home in Dayton, Ohio How do you do again? I'm Paul Garber Historian Emeritus and Ramsey associate of the National Air and Space Museum in Washington In this part of our story part four on the section of the Wright brothers We have come to that time when Although the Wright brothers in 1903 had invented the airplane in 1904 5 6 7 and 8 had improved it and in 1909 were still ahead of most others by 1910 Others in the world had developed airplanes some of them very interesting very efficient such as this Antoinette airplane with Hubert Latham its principal pilot In this part of our story we will be telling not only what the Wright brothers themselves were doing But also what was accomplished by persons whom they had talked to fly and others who were flying the right type of airplane The great prize for airplane speed in 1910 was the James Gordon Bennett Trophy which had been won for America in 1909 by Glenn Curtis Thus making America the host for 1910 As I concluded part three of our story I showed you this right racer which had been designed and built especially to keep this prize in America It was named the baby grand Orville here at the controls had flown it at a speed of almost 70 miles per hour Faster than the known speed of any other entry It's eight-cylinder engine weighed about 300 pounds a hundred pounds more than their usual four-cylinder types and Developed over 50 horsepower Now look at the size of those propellers. I think they must be around 10 feet in diameter The wingspan was only 22 feet Almost half that of the kitty hawk flyer Here's a final engine test now there were no brakes in those days and they hadn't used wheelchocks yet I remember back in the old early bird times It was customary for someone to haul the holler more beef Then everyone would run to give a hand and here you see they're holding it back so that the engine can be tried out Also, sometimes we used to fasten a spring balance to the tail and then tie that to a post so we could measure the pull Water Brookings the first person taught to fly by the right, but this was to pilot the baby grand in this race But to the great disappointment of many particularly Wilbur and Orville the engine up there at Belmont Park Cut out at the critical time and Brookings smashed into a bad landing He crawled out of the wreck, but America's best hopes to win the race were lost the English flyer Claude Graham white Flying a 100 horsepower French Blariat monoplane one at a speed of 61 miles per hour There were a total of nine entrance from three nations America England and France Arch Hoxie also flying a small span right airplane But with a 30 horsepower engine attained an altitude of about 7,000 feet at Belmont on October 27 On that day the wind was so strong that his flyer and that of Ralph Johnston were blown backward while still facing forward on the last day of the meet October 31 Johnston established a world altitude record of 9,714 feet Another famous air meet during the fall of 1910 was held at St. Louis there Arch Hoxie took Theodore Roosevelt for a flight He was the first person who had been president of the United States to fly in an airplane As they landed and Teddy put back his white his wide brim felt hat. He probably said that was bully Air Express was inaugurated on November 7 1910 when Phil Parmally flew a right airplane from Sims station Near Dayton to Columbus, Ohio Carrying a package of silk consigned to the Moore House Martin's company The cargo weighed about a hundred pounds and was valued at eight hundred dollars His flight clothing consisted of an undershirt a sweater a sweater coat a heavy top coat Woollen cap and goggles the 65 mile flight was made in 66 minutes Parmally carried one piece of air mail And the crowd that welcomed they were so amused because he had such a hard time Getting through all of this clothing and and finally finding that letter to give it to Max Moore house Now also in 1910 the world had become greatly interested in aviation and Everyone in America among other nations wanted to see airplanes in flight So the Wright brothers organized an exhibition team The person there with a derby hat. We used to call it an iron hat is Roy Nobbinshoe famous balloonist and dirgeable airship pilot he headed up the team and Parmally we just met he's there at the left. There's Walter Brookings at the right. There were many persons in that team Now Frank Coffin was another member of that team there. He is with Wilbur Wilbur being at the right another iron hat Frank was a very capable pilot, but also there at the right school in Dayton. He was in charge of instruction He's given to the museum the sheets that were used at that time to tabulate the accomplishments of the pilots I hope we can raise this picture a bit and see those high button shoes Those are a classic thing of those days. I remember how proud I was of mine Took me quite a while to button them up with my mother's old-fashioned buttonhook well Frank was a splendid person and was One of the first to use floats on a right type B airplane this remarkable picture was taken in February of 1912 he was flying at New York and He would have to somehow you see that tugboat has made a path through the ice He took off by dodging these cakes of ice and flew over a part of the city and also flew over the Over the Statue of Liberty taking some photographs of it at the time Another pilot of right type planes was George Gray who made numerous exhibition flights in the middle Atlantic States Particularly in Virginia Later when he was a pilot in World War one He was so very proud of this license in which he could show that he'd learned to fly on Right brothers airplanes. I knew most of these men. I value my friendship with them I wish I could tell more about the wonderful early bird friends that I have as an organization You know of the old timers early birds was my privilege to be the recent president of it Now there were some girls who learned to fly also of the right planes There's Catherine Stinson Standing with her right plane. She learned to fly at Chicago and was taught to fly by Max Lillie She thrilled many crowds in those cities over which she flew Her sister Marjorie was also famous They taught their brother Eddie Stinson to fly another brother Jack was also a pilot and maintained a flight school on Long Island During World War one Marjorie trained many Canadian pilots who fought in that war Ruth law was another girl flyer who learned the right system of control her cross-country flight in 1918 from Chicago to New York was a record maker and during the first world war She encouraged bond sales by advertising them from the sky Now Al Welch shown here at the left Had been one of the first three students taught to fly by Orville Wright. The other two were Brookings and Hoxie Welch's most famous pupil is shown here lieutenant Henry H Arnold later general of the Air Force I always bow a bit to happen. It was through him that I met my dear wife And we always go over to his grave on Memorial Day and lay a few flowers there in appreciation We're certainly a happy couple and I'm so grateful to say so Now Hap had begun his lessons on May 3rd, 1911 The flight lasted seven minutes and on the report sheet Welch wrote rough Some bad vannings I guess the third lesson was for 12 minutes and the comment was hand-on elevator Meaning that the teacher let the pupils steer the airplane up and down During lesson number nine Arno was permitted to try balancing the airplane and on lesson number 19 The comment was landed without assistance The final notation was number of flights 28 total time in the air three hours 43 minutes Finished 13 May 10 days learning Actually, it was 11 days, but the Wright brothers didn't permit any flying on Sunday They were the sons of Bishop Wright you recall Arnold's companion in training was Lieutenant Tommy milling now There's Hap at the left and Tommy seated there in the airplane Millings teacher was Cliff Turpin Here's Cliff in his airplane at the center of this group The picture was taken when the minister at the right was marrying the couple at the left Then Turpin took the bridal couple up for a short a aerial honeymoon There were all kinds of aviation thrills and stunts in those pioneer days In June of 1911 the army established its first aviation field at Collie's Park, Maryland The same field where Wilbur had taught the army's first two pilots in 1909 as I described in my previous section of this series There the army quartermaster Constructed these hangars which have been designed by the rights an Arnold milling and other officers pilots and men were assigned to conduct military flight operations there Arnold was a very active pilot On July 7. He made an altitude flight of 3260 feet on July 10. He flew over the United States Capitol building on July 18 He climbed to 4,167 feet and on August 21 He made a cross-country flight of 42 miles to Frederick, Maryland By this time an increase of appropriations for aeronautics to 125,000 dollars for the fiscal year 1912 Had permitted the purchase of several airplanes of both the Wright and Curtis types Bomb dropping in those days was a simple procedure. You just picked it up held it out and let it go Here at San Francisco in 1910 Lieutenant Myron Chrissy had assembled a bomb from some two and a half inch pipe and made another one from an artillery shell With Phil Parmley as pilot Chrissy dropped them from the right airplane over the Tanforam race track These were the first live aerial bombs But in College Park a more scientific method was developed by Lieutenant Riley Scott His invention carried two 18-pound bombs and included a telescope for measuring speed an altimeter from measuring height a stopwatch for precise timing and tabulations for figuring equations These tables were prepared for an altitude of 400 feet and From that height the bombs landed within 10 feet of a target that was four by five feet on the ground Scott whose pilots for these tests had been Tommy milling Prepared tabulations for an altitude of 3,000 feet But before he could make those tests at College Park. He had to leave for France our own War Department had not shown much interest but the French had offered a prize for bomb dropping and Scott was going to try to win it In fact there he did win the recognition. He deserved Now James means of Boston whom you'll recall from a previous talk was compiler of the Aeronautical annuals of 1895 6 and 7 The Wright brothers had studied those and had continued Their interest in aviation from that time means also was interested in aviation and In 1909 was granted a patent for a signaling device It used the exhaust of the engine to blow through a tube in which lamp black was inserted by tapping a key Something like a telegraph whereby dots and dashes of the Morse code could be blown out as visual signals This was also tested at College Park October 13, 1911 the official report was Because of the short time of the visibility of the puffs and the Impossibility of distinguishing the same at a distance greater than four or five miles It is thought that the device is not practical for general military use On June 7 1912 Captain Chandler who was in charge of the air station at College Park Tested a Lewis machine gun for the first time from the air the tenant milling was his pilot Using a drum with 50 cartridges firing at the rate of 500 shots a minute Five hits were made on a strip of cheese cloth six by seven feet in size from an altitude of 250 feet Other shots were fired into a pond to give the gunner a better idea of the spacing of the bullets The next day from an altitude of 550 feet Sound 44 shots were fired 14 of them hit a cloth target on the ground the target was two yards by 18 yards in size The gunner was handicapped by the lack of sights on his gun and Also, it was very difficult to maneuver to aim to turn the gun because of the limited connection there of it Moreover the War Department was not particularly impressed by this They said the purpose of the airplane is for reconnaissance duty only and it is those young officers out at College Park Who have these rather ridiculous and fanciful ideas that gunnery will ever be used during air combats? You see the War Department still had to learn a few things In October of 1911 Orville Wright Went back to Kitty Hawk to conduct some tests in gliding under the very favorable conditions that prevail there He was anxious particularly to develop some kind of an automatic stabilizer. In fact, he'd been working on that since 1907 He had with him there at Kitty Hawk his brother Lauren his nephew Horace and their friend Alec Ogilvy of England Their first job upon arrival at the old camp was to patch up the hangar and arrange housekeeping details The gliding tests continued for most of the month with various modifications made in the aircraft At times using some parts from the old machine of 19 fly which they had left there The most notable performance was on October 24 When about 20 glides were made ranging from one minute to a world record of nine minutes and 45 seconds now That's hovering you see Remaining motionless pretty much motionless over one spot marvelous accomplishment. This record was not exceeded until 1921 When Germany you see had been prevented from flying powered aircraft and then turned to gliding to keep up their flying proficiency and Then they did finally surpass that nine-minute record, but this stood for about ten years Also in October 1911 another air meat was being held in st. Louis One of the features was the carrying of mail by airplane Water Brookings here seated on the skid was the pilot This was the second instance of official airplane mail in America The first had occurred the previous month at the Nassau Boulevard Long Island air meat when Earl Ovington Wearing the crash helmet had received the bag of mail from the postmaster general himself Frank Hitchcock the postmaster general gave me this picture several years ago Now at st. Louis second assistant postmaster General Grandfield officiated. He's the gray-haired gentleman The date of October 4 is confirmed by this piece of mail addressed to a b Lambert One of the most enthusiastic patrons of aviation in those pioneered days Later became one of the st. Louis sponsors of Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight Incidentally, there's a penny postcard. You don't see them anymore. Now. Here's mr. Lambert with Walter Brookings One of the most notable pilots of right airplanes on cross-country flights was Harry Atwood His world record accomplishment for 1911 was from st. Louis to New York City a distance of 1266 miles made with 19 intermediate stops in 12 days a Right type B made by the Burgess company under license was used and required no major repairs enroute It was the same airplane. He had used in a flight from Boston to Atlantic City, New Jersey Soon after that flight at would learn that the Aero Club of Washington had awarded him its gold medal The Aero Club of America also recognized that flight The medal was to be presented by the president of the United States then William Howard Taft To receive it at would flew to Washington and landed on the southern lawn of the White House, believe it or not When I told one of our president's helicopter pilots about this flight and this landing The helicopter pilot refused to believe it until I showed him this picture He thought only helicopters could sit down in the backyard of the White House Then when I said that that would took off from the same limited space after receiving the medal as Verified by this photograph the president's pilot finally gave in but he pointed out that the trees were not as tall then as they are now But the greatest flight of 1911 and in fact one of the most notable of all time was accomplished by this pilot Calbraith Perry Rogers. He loved to fly and he loved a cigar too He not only exceeded at woods distance record But became the first person to fly an airplane all the way from coast to coast across the United States of America Rogers was the descendant of famous Americans. His father was a captain in the United States Army and fought in the Indian Wars Rogers great-grandfather was Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry Who had sailed his squadron into Japanese waters inviting that nation to engage in commerce with America back in the 1860s? Rogers grand-uncle was captain Oliver hazard Perry here over the Battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812 Cal had hoped to be a naval officer, but was prevented by an air condition becoming interested in aviation when he visited his cousin John Rogers of the Navy while that officer was detailed to the Right school for flight instruction Cal decided to also take lessons He soloed in the remarkable time of 90 minutes instruction He attracted national attention two months later during the nine-day air meet held in Chicago when he won the award for the most time in the air Flying every day for a total of 27 hours Now back in those romantic days of the early birds There were various prizes offered for flights from one city to another remember that Curtis got the one from Albany to New York and then Hamilton got the one from New York to Philadelphia and return But then when you round off Hearst of the Hearst newspapers was going to clobber all those lesser prizes around five and ten thousand dollars With a fifty thousand dollar prize Now fifty thousand dollars was a heck of a lot of money then that still is to amuse him curator. I assure you But fifty thousand dollars for the first flight from coast to coast all the way in either direction It had to be done. However in 30 days Now Cal Rogers was among those who were determined to win that prize the others Oh, they cracked up or gave up, but he kept on he took off from Sheep said Bay Long Island on 17 December 17 September from Sheep said Bay Long Island His airplane was a right type EX single-seated with a 35 horsepower four-cylinder engine He flew right over New York City Now can you imagine sitting on a board seat? No safety belt your feet stick out on a little piece of about two by two or less than that wood to brace your feet on You look down at all those skyscrapers reaching up at you He flew right over New York City, but then he spotted on the New Jersey tracks this white painted car Now that says Vin fizz Then fizz was a drink now not gin fizz Vin fizz was a drink So for five cents put out by the armor company who were meat packers So I don't know what to put in the drink. They said it had grapes in it but they were paying part of his expenses $5 a mile and This was one of a train of cars. This had his spare parts in it had another airplane Had a spare engine his wife was in there. I didn't mean to say she was a spare part No, she rode in the Pullman car. It was also a diner There was this train that accompanied him and sometimes he'd catch up to the train sometimes the train would catch up to him Now here is Cal landing in Middletown, New York That was his first stop a wonderful flight. He said it was a good landing because it did not the ashes off the end of his cigar He'd flown 84 miles in 105 minutes now here. He holds up his only instrument. That's a piece of string Was a corset string his wife donated that but that was fastened to a Wire in front of him and it would wave at him and if it waved to right or left He knew that he was drifting side to side if it waved up or down He knew that he was climbing or descending it's a very good instrument, but that's all he had no compass at all Nothing with that little piece of line Now taking off from Middletown the next morning His wheels brushed the top of a tree and he landed in a chicken yard. That's no place to set it down Repairs took three days He had you must realize he had no advanced weather reports no compass no accurate information about the route ahead Only the railroad tracks to guide him and sometimes he took the wrong switch He flew on His route lay across New York State a corner of Pennsylvania into Ohio, Indiana Chicago then he turned southward because he knew he couldn't get over the high Rockies through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas He had more than a dozen serious crack ups some real washouts, but with the help of the mechanics. He he kept on Charlie Taylor was sometimes sent to help him from the right company there in Dayton as he got to Texas There was an eagle there that disputed Cal's right to invade those skies Also in Texas. He met Bob Fowler who was trying to win the Hearst Prize by flying from California to the East Coast Fowler eventually reached the Florida coast near Jacksonville That was the next year took him a hundred and twenty-two days as I stand here. The record is a hundred and twenty-three Minutes same distance of B-58, but now we're back in 1911 After 49 days Rogers arrived at his official destination that was Pasadena, California Here he received enthusiastic acclaim as you can see He had exceeded the 30-day stipulation so he didn't get the prize. Nobody got the prize It's all of a dirty trick I think but he did get the American flag around his shoulders And that's a good enough price for anybody But now he wanted to take off and actually reach the Pacific Coast Here he is. He's gonna go about 15 miles on to Long Beach But over Compton his engine quit and he really pranked it down He landed head first in a plowed field both legs were broken also his collarbone and he had a brain concussion It was unconscious for 24 hours. He was in the hospital a month But then with his good wife's help now, that's Mabel at the left. His mother has on that rather large hat But then they got him out in a wheelchair He got on board a pair of crutches He hobbled over to his beloved Vin Fizz which had been repaired by his faithful crew an Enormous crowd awaited him at Long Beach and there sure enough. He landed and rolled those wheels in the surf with the Pacific This was a glorious moment. He had flown from coast to coast in 84 days a distance of 4,320 miles the way he flew it the first person to cross the United States of America by air He was faded back and forth Banquets on the East Coast the West Coast But finally he returned to California and then on April 3rd. He was giving an exhibition flight over Long Beach in his right B He flew over to pier and there was a bunch of seagulls that rose up rather frightened one of them jammed itself into the controls and Down went Cal. He did not walk away from this one. He died April 3 1912 Today in the National Air and Space Museum in This old tin shit and I'll put in a plug for a new building because this is the most permanent temporary building in Washington There is the Vin Fizz flyer restored by the Smithsonian crew a wonder to everyone who sees it This marvelous aircraft that did make the first coast-to-coast flight Another development in 1911 is especially pertinent to this series of talks that we're giving There's the Navy's first air station and there is the right type B There at Greenbury Point, Maryland across the Severn River from Annapolis Det. Rogers who was Cal Rogers cousin had been taught to fly at the Wright Brothers School and Was sent there to fly the plane. There's John Rogers in the foreground With the showing of this picture. I want to identify and thank the sailor in the white cap He is Dale Ziggler by whose kindness I obtained these pictures of the B1 I'll speak about him further in our next program The B1 was operated either as a land plane or a sea plane Here is one configuration with two floats and here one float only is used with the addition of wingtip floats to keep it balanced in rough water flights were made in the B1 to Baltimore and to other areas of the Chesapeake and Then in December with wintry weather making flying difficult The aviators at Greenbury Point were ordered to transfer with their equipment to North Island, San Diego, California There the dear old B1 finally was washed out Here is how a naval aviator kept his feet dry when going ashore from his aircraft riding piggyback on some sailor The dear old B1 as I said was finally washed out after about two years of service But we're so grateful that one piece of it has been preserved and that's the engine that you see here on this model I'll tell you about that in our next program. I think it's a wonderful story. Thanks to the foresight of the Navy Thanks a bit to the museum. We have kept it and It's a wonderful part the oldest relic of naval aviation


This tenth year of Daily Tech News show is made possible by you, the listener, thanks to all of you, including Martin James, Jim Hart, David Mosher, and our new patrons helping get us to our goal, Peter, Caleb, Mild Coffee, and John. On this episode of DTNS, goodbye, Stitcher. Will podcasters miss you? Google kills its AR headset, but it may be making a smarter move, and baseball's hottest new scout is AI. That kid has a great arm. This is the Daily Tech News for Wednesday, June 28th, 2023 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from studio, I don't even know where. I'm Sarah Lane. Yes, south of the Great Salt Lake. I'm Scott Johnson. And I'm the show's producer, Roger Jay. Oh, my friends, if you're not a patron, you're going to want to be a patron for the extended show today. We got lots of cool stuff to talk about, but let's start with the quick hits. Open AI updated its chat GPT apps to add a new browsing feature for chat GPT plus subscribers. The feature lets chat GPT search Bing for answers. And since chat GPT's training data cuts off in 2021, this lets the chat bot deliver current information. A couple of notable governmental developments in the European Union. The European Commission published plans for legislation regarding a central bank digital currency. The old CBDC haven't heard about that in a minute. The legislation would smooth the way for the European Central Bank, the ECB, to develop a digital euro. Also Tuesday, the European Parliament and the European Council agreed on the final form of the data act. That's the act that will govern how companies handle European consumer data, including safeguards against non-EU countries accessing it. Among other things, the act makes it easier to switch providers of data storage. So if you wanted to switch from Apple iCloud to Google Cloud Services, the act now needs formal approval by the council and the parliament, which is expected to happen pretty soon. And then it will go into effect 20 months after passage. So you're not going to hear about it again anytime soon. Talk to you in 20 months. Proton released Proton Pass, its end-to-end encrypted password manager announced back in April. Proton Pass is available as a browser extension, also as an app on Android and iOS. The company plans to open source it so independent researchers can audit its code. A basic version with multi-device support is available for free, while subscribers get two-factor authentication support and also unlimited email aliases. Joby Aviation received a special airworthiness certificate. That's what it's called, the special airworthiness certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration in the U.S. for its production prototype electric vehicle takeoff landing vehicle, an eVTAL. This vehicle will be deployed at Edwards Air Force Base in 2024, although it still needs to secure military airworthiness certification. It's special, but it's not military yet. The latest certification helps Joby make progress in the FAA's type certification process and it's on track to be able to deliver its first eVTAL aircraft to a customer by 2024 and commercialize air taxi service by 2025. DoorDash added the ability for couriers to opt into an earn by time feature, which would offer a guaranteed hourly minimum rate for making deliveries. The option won't be available on all deliveries and couriers still can receive tips from customers. Other updates for couriers include a feature to share real-time location with up to five contacts and a dash along the way feature where couriers can pick up orders on the way to a destination. Oh, I love these Silicon Valley companies innovating with payments. So you pay by hour. Wow. Re-eventing the wheel. SeriousXM, the satellite radio service that is also available online, but usually comes free with that expensive car you bought, acquired the podcasting app maker Stitcher back in 2020. Y'all know Stitcher? They've been around forever since like 2008. But now SeriousXM is shutting down Stitcher. That's right. You have until August 29th, if you use Stitcher, to move to a new podcast listening platform. SeriousXM is incorporating podcasting into its main service. So they're kind of hoping you'll just head over to SeriousXM and use that, get all the radio stuff, get the podcast, etc. Stitcher Studios and Eer Wolf Comedy Network are going to continue producing shows. So they're not shutting down that part of the operation, just the app. Stitcher also had some shows you had to pay for in a premium service. And each of those shows will decide where they're going to end up on their own. They're not moving to SeriousXM necessarily. It feels like Stitcher's been with us forever. It's been 15 years. Scott, are you going to miss it? Sir? No, I will not miss Stitcher.  But I was always a little bit hung up on the way that they did business. I love podcasting when it's embraced as the open form that it is. I just liked that there's RSS feeds. And if you have a cool player, then people will gravitate to it because the player's cool and you can earn their trust that way. I never really liked their way of trying to get podcasts to opt into their program and never really trusted the fine print. So to be honest, they were never much of a force for me in creation and they were never able to get me to use it as even just a listener experience. It just never worked for me. My biggest problem though is the quality of the audio would always take a hit. You may post your show at 128KPBS or something, but it would show up in Stitcher way less than that and had issues like that. But all of that being said, it's a name that was recognizable and that we all remember from those days. And so a little piece of me is sad that it's not there anymore, but I didn't ever like it in the first place. Well, and you know, and maybe that's, you know, us coming from the podcast production standpoint, I know a lot of podcast listeners who preferred Stitcher over all other options, not necessarily because they tried 100 different options, but I have set up many a podcast feed over the years as we all have. And anytime Stitcher was either neglected or just left out entirely, I would get angry messages from people being like, well, what about Stitcher? I use Stitcher. And I, you know, okay, we'll set up that feed. That was never like a huge problem for me to do, but Stitcher has a lot of fans. I had a templated response for that because Stitcher wanted you as a podcast to agree to their terms to carry you. And one of those terms in there was that you would put Stitcher promotions in your show. And I was like, no, it's a freely available RSS. You just carry it. So it would always be delayed for them to pick up my shows because I would never agree to those terms of service. So I would get those same things of like, why aren't you on Stitcher? And I would say, I don't know, ask Stitcher. They can add me whenever they want. Yeah. And they usually did after, um, yeah, they would, I did similar things. And they would, they would eventually get you in there because the fan demand was there. But I got to say in the last few years, I, those requests went away like Sarah's right. There was a time that everybody took over. I think they, they, they cleaned up the operation and made it a little more typical. That also kind of coincided with, with Spotify's rise as the new popular kid on the block in terms of listenership. And so I think maybe some of that just shifted. And even Spotify just accepted RSS feeds, right? Yeah, still does. Spotify also is going through a little bit of its own restructuring where Spotify originals, um, not that they're not working, um, but they're not working across the board. Um, and it sounds like Stitcher has been having some of those same issues, uh, not necessarily getting the traction by, you know, robbing people of other options, you know, to get the podcast. This is also, Tommy mentioned serious XM, uh, a thing that you get when you buy an expensive car. I, I had, yeah, like two years or something, something crazy when I had leased my now current car. And I was like, this is great. I will totally pay for this once it runs out. Did not happen because I pay for Apple music and, you know, podcast, whatever. I, you know, I'm busy, but, uh, but I feel like the serious play of saying Stitcher is going away.  I don't know how many, um, but that's kind of their business model, right? Yeah, we're, we're in the, the weird down cycle of the podcast booms that, that happened over and over and over again that we've all been through multiple times. And it is interesting to see serious XM just shut down a platform instead of modify it and say, you know what? We've got podcast in the serious XM app come there. Uh, this, this is a fairly abrupt, I mean, they're giving you a month or so, but it's a couple of months, fairly abrupt way of doing it. And it doesn't feel like they're saying, we will transition you to serious XM. They're saying you, you have until then to pick whatever podcast platform you want. So it's not, it's not a hard sell. And I think that's because they don't see podcasting as urgent to their, to their strategy, but complimentary to their strategy. I originally saw the acquisition as them buying a user base and that would just immediately pump up their chance of doing something. But what makes me question that assumption is that the, because this is so abrupt and so sudden, and they're not automatically transitioning, transitioning people, that to me feels like maybe they, maybe they did intend to bring over a big user base. It just didn't pan out and they want to get out from under it. They've got their own plans. Like who knows, I don't know anyone who's going serious XM and podcasts. Sign me up. Like no one, no one's jazzed about that. But if you're a serious XM user and you're already in the ecosystem, why not? It's like the podcast in the audible app. People are like, oh, I didn't know those were there. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. Or YouTube. They do the same thing. Well, you might have forgotten about Google Glass, but never Google Glass. Arguably the first victim of being before it's augmented reality time. However, Google didn't really stop innovating when that particular product failed. We may have a new setback though. Business Insider reports that the company recently killed an augmented reality project internally known as Iris after several years in part due to waves of layoffs and company reshuffles over the past few months. So Google is not alone in that whole let's figure out how the company is going forward tech thing. But there's also been talk of internal lack of direction on Iris, which might be why Clay Babore, the company's former chief of augmented and virtual reality also just left Google to work on a startup with Salesforce co-CEO Brett Taylor. So Tom, what's a little more context here? Yeah. So you may remember the Verge reporting about Iris more than a year ago saying Google was going to launch it in 2024. That's not going to happen now. The Iris AR glasses were supposed to look like a pair of glasses in conspicuous. Just you're wearing them like I'm wearing glasses right now. And there was definitely work being done. You probably, if you remember anything about them at all, remember that they demoed them at IO last year in a video showing real time translation. So there was a woman speaking Mandarin and another woman listening and then the glasses were translating the Mandarin into English in real time. So that's not going to happen. That is put that on your next top five vaporware from IO list, Tom, because we're not getting these. What is going to happen now? It may be shutting down the hardware development, but Google has been working on an Android for AR platform and it's going to ramp that up faster. It's building Android XR already for Samsung's extended reality wearable devices. And Insider says a new platform called Micro XR for glasses probably was being made for Iris is now just going to be made for everybody. And I don't know, Scott, that feels like the right thing for Google to do now. Yeah, it's hard to call it a pivot because they were, like you said, they were already in mid development or working on this stuff anyway. It seems very Google, though, to say, all right, look, we made an attempt or a stab at our being the focus of hardware. Maybe we do the Android way, which is sure we've got our own phones, but we're mostly putting this out there so that other devices and the licenses can happen under our, you know, under our leadership. And we're going to maintain this and make it awesome and keep updating it and all of that. That's one place where you could argue nobody in the market is that yet. Most everybody is like, well, we want the headset and the experience, whether you're talking VR AR or some combination of both for them to say, well, what if we really made a platform that was world class and then anybody who wants to make an AR hardware approach, they have the platform already, we've done half the way. It's just like phones. It's the same process. So I think this just fits into their, into their MO. Why wouldn't they do this? I'm a little surprised they didn't throw all their guts at it already, to be honest. Yeah.  Indeed, they do. You know, look at the Pixel phone line, very beloved by those who use it. But, you know, the Android ecosystem largely has thrived on everybody else and Google saying, go forth young men and women and everybody in between and, you know, and make stuff. And we're going to, you know, we're going to be at the core of this. I think that the whole glasses thing, I keep wanting it to happen. You know, look at Snap.  This is a really tough market. We're still trying to figure out what the, you know, the special sauces that make people say, I have to have these rather than it's invasive or they're weird or they don't look normal or, you know, all, all of those questions. And for Google to kind of go, you know, we've got some internal stuff going on. Let's just provide the guts to make you figure it out. And then we win anyway. That makes that that is very Google. That's what works for Google, right? They came up with Android and the Nexus. How many Nexus's have you used lately? Not many. No, you have it because they replaced it with the Pixel. And now they've got the Pixel Fold, which, you know, is a nice phone. It's a good phone. Oh, look at Tom holding a Pixel Fold. Well, the audio people can't hear that. But yes, if you're on video, you can see that that I'm holding a Pixel phone. Sorry, audio people. We didn't make me to make you feel left out. But the my point is that Pixel is something that is always seen as kind of a second run, right? It's a thing that's, you know, like, well, they're pretty good. They're great. They're great in certain ways. They're not better than the Galaxy. Same thing with the Pixel Fold. That's what the reviews have been with the Pixel Fold. So I feel like it's smart for Google to do what it's good at and make the Android platform. Yep. Yep. I agree. And again, this is like what they do. It makes me worry less about the Google cancel fears that we all get sometimes Google cancel stuff sometimes. And often they're software products. But when they make platforms, search platforms, phone platforms, and now an AR platform, typically they stick that stuff out and I have more trust in it. So that's the other reason I'm happy about it. Yeah. And if you're not a patron, stick around a good day and we're going to talk about that Pixel Fold a little more. Folks, we need more patrons to reach our goal of getting Molly Wood on the show every month. We're going to have her on this Friday. We've got enough of you already to make that happen. But can we keep having her on? We need all of you who aren't already patrons to sign up right now just at the minimum amount. Just try it out for a month. Go to patreon.com slash DTNS. Well, Major League Baseball partnered with the biomechanics company Uplift Labs on a system to evaluate new prospects, prospects being players that somebody might want to have on their team. So Uplift Labs use two phones, iPhones, and an AI model in conjunction replacing complicated setups with wires like an EKG. So it demonstrated it at the MLB draft combine in Arizona this month happens every year. And metrics include things like kinematic sequence or stride length or ball contact timing, all things that are very important and very precise, especially when it comes to baseball because baseball loves a good stat that could be used to identify a flaw that a player might have. Maybe they're great, but they've got, you know, there's like this one thing that they need to work on or maybe as a deal breaker injury risk based on, you know, how a player is performing. It also forecasts potential. So all right, what do we think here? A lot of people say, Oh man, you know, what's, you know, aren't umpires good at this?  We accept designated hitters in the National League. American League got this some time ago. We have a pitch clock now. But is this a ball too far, Tom Merritt? Is it insanity or just kind of smarter recruiting? Yeah, we went from money ball 20 years ago to, uh, to metrics, uh, like, uh, exit velocity and spin rate. Uh, and now we're taking all of that. The deal with money ball 20 years ago was, what if we looked at the stats and used that to inform instead of just eyeballing things? And then all of this exit velocity and spin rate was, well, let's collect more useful stats, things that tell us more than just, you know, whether someone stole a base or not. Uh, so when we have these large language models, when we have these deep learning models that can take large amounts of data that have now been collected on folks and, and start to recognize things that we can't, that's, that's what these tools are good at is looking at large amounts of data and saying, well, you would never notice this, but I've noticed that this is true and apply it to young players to be able to get an idea, not necessarily of like, are you going to be the next Shohei Otani? Are you going to be the next major league star? But what are you good at? What are you likely to be best at? Especially when these, these folks are young and a lot of times somebody starts as a pitcher, then they get moved to a catcher or maybe to third base. Uh, this could get them on that road faster and say like, ah, with the arm strength of this person and the way their body moves, they would be optimized in an outfield position. Uh, so let's start training them there. Uh, you can also really protect their health by saying, you know, there's a hitch in their delivery. You might want to work on that or they're going to end up having to get Tommy John surgery on their elbow in a couple of months. Uh, so, so I, I think this is all for the good as long as it's used for the good, right? That's always where the question ends up. So, um, this doesn't change some things. Like for example, if a player, uh, through all this deep learning, they see him as just all prime draft candidate. We're getting this guy. He's going to play for us this year. He's bringing him up to the farm leagues, whatever they're doing to get him and they get him and then he just sinks, just doesn't, doesn't work out terrible on, uh, on with pressure or whatever reason he gets on the mound and major league baseball and just craps out and they got to fulfill the contract. They moved him somewhere else, whatever, whatever. But then another guy can come into the league who's kind of average and they don't really have anything special to say, but you put him in the limelight, suddenly that dude explodes and just everyone goes, what, where did he come from? You hear these stories all the time in all the major sports. This doesn't eliminate those possibilities, right? This just helps narrow the field. So you can have a better chance at the high performers and less chance of the Lord. Someone's like, I choked. I mean, this is not going to help. You're not going to know that ahead of time. There's so many things that go on inside all of our heads that, you know, have, have really nothing to do with what we're capable of physically, but I struggle to find anything that like weirds me out about this. Maybe a different sport. Maybe that would be different.   Well, that's an old school way of doing things. Um, but we're kind of in a new era and I feel like, yeah, as far as, uh, potential injuries to players, um, where there could be something that, uh, wasn't seen beforehand, um, this, this could help, uh, and minimize those injuries. Um, or, you know, yeah, otherwise just having somebody kind of bounced around, you know, in playing the wrong position, uh, I, I would think as a player, uh, even if you don't necessarily like what you hear, um, more information about what you're actually good at and where you should play is best for everybody. Well, then it can be, right? But the danger, what I was alluding to earlier is what Sinarik just said in the chat room, what happens when they find a major issue with the AI and someone misses out on a contract? Um, I, I don't think it'll be a major issue with the AI. I think people exaggerate like, oh, they say this AI is good and it's not, but what happens when someone, uh, is screened by the AI and gets drafted later? Uh, you know, those, those are things that are already an issue with pre-draft physicals. Right now, if a player submits to a pre-draft physical, he's insured to receive at least 75% of the slot value as a signing bonus. So there's some protection for that to say, look, you know, we don't want someone using this against you. There needs to be some protections for this too to say this should be used for health. It should be used for proper coaching and development. It should not be used as a way to drive down what you pay people. Well, composer Ryoichi Sakamoto passed away in March, but the Grammy and Oscar winners, a final performance as a pianist, is available through a Magic Leap 2 headset, but there's a little bit more to it. So in a 45 minute performance, Sakamoto plays 10 of his own compositions. At the end of every piece, people clap. But those people weren't actually there because this didn't actually take place, at least not in the way that you see it through the Magic Leap. This is a mixed reality show. It's making the rounds global rounds in museums and festivals, getting a lot of accolades. The show starts with 80 people sitting in a circle around nothing until they put on that Magic Leap 2 headset at which point Sakamoto appears in the center of the circle and starts to play. Now Kagami, the Japanese word for mirror, was designed by Tin Drum. That's a production studio which created a 3D model of Sakamoto in November of 2020. That was in Tokyo and that was during a very, very locked down time in the world, particularly in Japan. So at the time, it was one of only two cities in the world that the production studio felt had the setup necessary to capture Sakamoto in 3D and generate a virtual model of him using volumetric and motion capture tech. Three days and 48 cameras later, Sakamoto's final performance was captured and if you happen to be in a city or an area where this is coming through, people are raving about it. Sounds pretty cool. Yeah, this is so cool. I just became familiar with Sakamoto because he collaborated with August D on a song on D-Day which is an album that just came out a couple months ago and it was one of the last things he did was to play on that and then I started learning about his career which is incredibly impressive and his foresight to be willing to do this because he had a terminal disease. He knew he didn't have long to be like, let's make it so that my music can continue with me playing it for people after the fact. This is so cool. Sorry, I was going to say if you never heard the soundtrack to the Revenant, 2015's The Revenant with Leonardo DiCaprio, one of the most amazing soundtracks ever. He did that one, one Oscars for it and stuff at the time, but if you've never heard it on its own even without the film, amazing breathtaking. So good. Yeah, if anyone has either experienced this or plans to, we would love to hear about it. Feedback at DailyTechNewShow.com. In fact, let's check the old mailbag right now. Well, let's do it. In response to our conversation yesterday about who exactly the Mac Pro is still for when Apple has robust and cheaper options, TJ wrote in and said video production. TJ says the Mac Pro is ideal for people involved in video or audio production. The internal PC, PCIe slots allow the user to add deck link video playback cards or Dante sound cards and keep everything in one chassis without needing a separate external enclosure for each card. This allows for a much smaller physical footprint that is more robust. It also frees up the Thunderbolt ports for other peripherals. There are a lot of people associated with Alex Lindsey's office hours show that are very excited about the Mac Pro and its possibilities. It's good to hear from a Mac Pro fan. Thank you, TJ, for writing in. Monica Shin should have talked to y'all is my response because she mentions several video editors that she talked to and they were all fine with a Mac book or with a Windows machine in some cases because of the flexibility and because they're still mad about what Apple did to Final Cut years ago. So it's good to know there's some folks out there that are still very excited. Thanks for writing in, TJ. Indeed. And thanks to you, Scott Johnson, for being with us today. Let folks know where is your latest? Well, if you like video game coverage and you like more than just, hey, video games are cool, right? You want to hear about the industry, what's going on in this, these hearings with Microsoft and Sony at this very moment and what those mean to their acquisition of Activision Blizzard, those kinds of heavy issues and that video games are cool.

I am so excited to be able to bring you my flawless foundation routine that I've been doing lately It is a routine that lets your own skin show through, but you are able to cover all of your flaws Please keep in mind that this is not a five-minute routine It is one that does take a little bit of extra time, but if I am doing my makeup I know which steps I'm going to next I can usually do my Foundation concealer all of my cheek products powder all lipstick everything I can usually do that in approximately 10 to 15 minutes It does take me another 10 to 15 minutes to get this intricate of an eye look just so you know So I'm talking that on a normal day. I normally do my makeup and it's going to be 30 to 40 minutes to do my makeup Yes, I know that does sound like a long time for most of you guys But again, this is what kind of is like my creative outlet. It's obviously my job It's what I like to do for a living and it's obviously something that brings me a lot of joy So I kind of relish in doing the makeup every day I am using the number seven Protect and perfect advanced all-in-one foundation This is pretty much a dupe for the it CC cream that everybody loves But I really like it. It does have the sunscreen like the other one does This is an SPF of 50 plus just like the original it CC cream but this is flawless foundation for a woman that is mature over 50 years old and beyond and it seems to work Really good because it still lets me have all of my skin show through it still looks like skin But it looks very finished and very dewy and glowy So I hope that you do enjoy this Please give it a thumbs up and let's get into the tutorial right now for you guys Okay So first thing we're going to do is always make up prep steps and when I talk about that I'm talking about making sure that everything is prepped the way you need it to on your face before you ever go in with foundation and For me that is really important now one of the things that I have found because I use such an extreme amount of Moisturizer on my face because I've such dry skin is I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna rub every last bit of it In with my fingers right before I get started and then I'm gonna take a tissue I'm gonna blot Everywhere all over my face to get any excess oils any excess You know of that moisturizer that SPF that's just kind of sitting on the top But it hasn't sunk in yet So you really want to let your SPF set in for at least about five or ten minutes before you do that So do your morning skincare put that SPF on let that all soak in and then if there's any breakthrough Anywhere that you notice that you can't rub them with your fingers then go ahead and blot just a little bit all right next I'm gonna put on my catrice under eye primer and This is just a moisturizing under eye primer that I love a lot It just gives that little added boost of plump up effect underneath my eyes that I need and that seems to sink in Really quickly and then I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna go in with my elf putty primer So I'm going and I'm pressing this into the places where my pores are the worst which is across my nose and Across my cheeks up here into the forehead area. I really have a lot of gucky pores in there and Then my chin and I really make sure that I'm pressing that in and making sure that it really Gets those pores blurred out. That's what primer is for most of the time Is to create a barrier between your skin or your moisturizer and your foundation So that's what I'm doing and then I do put a little bit down here on my neck and my decollete not a lot And I also go ahead and I do it up around my eyes here Just a little bit not all the way up But that does help to create a barrier between that moisture from the catrice under eye primer that I just put on and The concealer that I'm gonna put on here in a second and then the next step I do is I go in with my color corrector If you don't need a color corrector, if you don't have super dark circles, don't worry about this part This is just a part that I do because I absolutely have really dark circles and they don't get covered with regular concealers So I just put a line right here. My circles aren't as bad as they used to be but they're definitely still there So I just put a line right there and then I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna tap that in and Then the next prep step again, if you have really good skin, you might not need to do this But for me, it's essential because if I want my foundation to look natural at my age I don't want to cake my foundation on so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take some sort of Whether you need a little bit more yellow if you have yellow tone or whether you need a little bit more pink If you have pink tone mine is the elf Camel concealer I'm gonna take just a little bit of concealer and I'm gonna go around those spots on my face where I feel like I have Extra problems and you can see right here. Hopefully you can see right here. I have a bit of redness and some Freckles or dark spots. I have a few dark spots right here. These never really get covered by my foundation a hundred percent because they are such bad spots and then I actually do just kind of do a zip across my neck right there because that's where I have the worst part of my Discoloration or my melasma through there, so I just go and I tap all of that in with my fingers I'm gonna be really careful about kind of switching fingers here because I don't want too much of that on there I'm just patting it all out I don't want to have a lot of extra makeup here and that is really the point of just Spot concealing it just helps out so much to be able to not have all of those brown spots all of the red The red stuff that I don't want to break through around your nose is where a lot of women get a lot of hormonal breakthrough with little Petitial veins in there, so I do around my nose with what is ever left on my fingers Okay, so the star of this show is the number seven protect and perfect advanced all-in-one foundation This it has age-defying ingredients. It says this is medium coverage and it has a sunscreen So I really believe that they're trying to dupe the It Cosmetics CC your skin bit better CC cream, which I absolutely love but I really like this one too a lot You guys I feel like it does the same thing I do feel like it is a pretty darn good dupe for it so we are going to use this today and I'm just gonna squeeze some out on my hand and We're gonna start out with one coat because that is so important just one coat And I'm just gonna put a couple of dots around my face I'm gonna do one side with a brush and I know I'm gonna do the other side with a beauty blender So you can see I know a lot of you prefer to do either or this is the Smashbox primer water I like to spray my tools that I use for my foundation with some sort of a primer water Because I feel like it just distributes everything a little bit better So I'm just gonna put one two sprays on the end of that brush And then I'm going to do my right side here with the brush And I'm just kind of gonna do stippling motions here And we will see how well that covers up and it does do such a good job Especially since I already kind of went in and did some spot concealing It's gonna do a good job with just one coat instead of having to have multiple coats on to cover up your face That's kind of where we can get into trouble as aging women We can find that it's a little bit harder to cover everything So we end up putting more on more foundation on and really that's not what we want to do We want to have as thin a coat of as possible of foundation Otherwise it can age us because it can end up looking really really cakey So I'm just going around here and I'm doing all that and then I'm gonna push that down my neck And I'm going to pick up what I had down there on my chest And I'm just going across and I always go all the way down my decollete with my foundation And yes, it does transfer onto my clothes, but I've been bringing my makeup down here for years So I'm kind of used to the transfer that you do get from that. It doesn't bother me that much Okay, the next one we're gonna do is we're gonna do the sponge And again, I'm gonna take my primer water and I'm gonna spray the tip of that sponge really well And then I'm gonna do this side This sponge by the way was already wet Damp not wet, but it was already damp Now you're gonna find that I don't know if you're gonna be able to see this that well on camera But I can that this does not cover as well with the sponge as it did with the brush I like the finish with the sponge But more than likely what's gonna happen is I'm gonna have to put another coat of this on in order to cover Everything on this side with the sponge and that just happens for two reasons one when the sponge is already wet It kind of you know, shears everything out a little bit more and to the sponge soaks up a little bit So that kind of happens as well So I can see as I'm looking at my face right now That there needs to be just a little bit more through here Maybe a little bit more through my decollete from the sponge My nose didn't get covered that well, but I've got a lot right here that didn't get covered because of using this sponge So on that side I'm gonna go ahead and put a little bit more foundation on maybe about well about a quarter of what I did before So I'm just gonna dot that on places that I feel like it didn't cover completely And did you notice that I didn't bring that foundation all the way up my eyes when you do your concealer in a minute What you're gonna find is that if you had you're gonna just create another layer up there And that can really contribute to having really cakey under eyes as well So I'm gonna just go in and I'm gonna pounce this or bounce this around to get this taken care of on a second coat So to have one or two coats on your face instead of having You know just put a bunch on there and then having to blend it out It just seems to work better Because for one you can just put it on the places where you really need it like I showed on my nose And then right there on my cheeks now you can see how much better that's doing and for another You're gonna have more breakthrough during the day because you have a thicker coat on there So I feel like that worked out really pretty what I'm gonna do now though is the side that had the brush on it I am gonna just bounce this sponge all over just to make sure that I pick up any excess product And I like the way that the sponge finishes even if the actual brush Does lay down more product. I do still like the way the sponge finishes. All right So now we're gonna work on that under eye area and we're gonna do the concealing on it now the Creaseless concealer ultimate creaseless concealer from Revolution Pro is a dead-on dupe for the it by by pours Full coverage anti-aging waterproof concealer. These are like Identical products you guys and the biggest thing that I want you to take away from here is that you can only need a teeny tiny Amount of these products I mean the smaller the better because again, we're talking about if you need extra coats That's fine But this stuff goes such a long ways and it's thick and it's hydrating And so if you get too much on there, you're gonna get creasing Especially if you have deep creases like I do underneath your eyes. So this one is in C6 That's the color and this one right here is in the light cool So I'm going to mix these because the light cool is much much too light And then the C6 is just a little bit too Yellow for me.  It's just the way things are for me Unfortunately, but I'm gonna go up here I'm gonna go clear under and I'm gonna go into that corner on my eyeball because that's where We get all our darkness that and then I'm gonna take this side down just a little bit Because I didn't completely get that redness taken care of and that is bothering me just a little bit So I'm gonna let that set for a second And I'm not gonna mess with it for a second and then I'm gonna go back in with my dampened beauty blender And with the beauty blender, I'm not wetting this anymore So this is fairly dry now all I want to do with this at this point and I keep trying to push my hair out I should probably should have put my hair in a ponytail All I'm trying to do with this beauty blender is I'm just trying to blur everything out very very easily So I'm going in with the very lightest pressure that I can and I'm starting out here on the outside And I'm gonna do this on both sides first and then I'm gonna go down Here that way I'm blending all of this area out and I'm starting that way so that I can continue to work with product And then the most product is gonna be up in here where I really need the coverage You can do this with your finger if you want to like I said the warmth of your finger will warm up the product But I have found that either way works really good You might want a tendency to look up so that you're getting Every little wrinkle pressed in the other thing that the sponge does at this point is it picks up extra product Which is really awesome. Okay, so now I'm all set What's gonna happen is this is gonna start to crease if you're not careful with it So what I'm gonna do now is I'm just gonna take some of my seal the deal hydrating setting spray And I'm going to spray this very lightly on this tip Just very lightly and I'm going to set my under eyes with that and I am not Touching this hardly at all So I'm just gonna kind of just touch and roll just a little bit to get some of that setting spray on there Just ever so slightly and I barely put any on there So I am going to put enough to use it on the other side and just touching and rolling that a Little bit. All right, so I set that now. What powder do I use? What do I go in next? What do I do? So what I'm gonna do because this is another tutorial that I'm gonna do right now For another video.  So I will see you in just a minute with a completely done face Okay, guys, so I have my face makeup done now.  I love you if you're watching I got this tip from my sister-in-law and it seems to work really really good for me as an aging woman And that is before powder after you've done all of your face color your blush your highlight contour all that good stuff You put on a coat of setting mist onto your face and your decollete in order to set it before you put on your powder So we're gonna do that. This is the hydrating seal the deal from Flower Beauty and I love this stuff and I'm putting on quite a little bit not a ton But quite a few sprays there my face isn't soaked But it's wet and if you have one of those nice electric fans go ahead and do that I just have a handheld one that seems to do the purpose just as good and I'm gonna go ahead And I'm just going to fan my face until it's dry All right, and then I'm going to take my elf sheer tint finishing powder. This one is in fair light I love this powder you guys and I'm going to take my elf big powder brush And I'm just gonna load that powder brush up first and then I'm gonna tap off any excess I can get off and I'm going to go into the parts that have breakthrough a lot I'm going to be staying away from my cheeks The top of my cheeks this area where I put all of the color I'm gonna be staying away from there just because I feel like what happens is that the setting spray takes care of that For me, so I'm staying away from those what I'm wanting to do in these areas where I'm putting extra powder is Refine those my pores are a little bit bigger I have a little bit extra texture there because of being older and having a few scars and whatnot and these areas are Are areas that I can get breakthrough with my hot flashes or my little power surges as I call them And then I'm gonna go along and do my decollete to set that down and to make it look really finished And really pretty so I'm staying away from that cheek area I can go underneath it right down here, and I'm doing the nose I'm not doing under the eyes as you guys kind of see I kind of hardly ever do that underneath my eyes I don't hardly ever set it unless it's gonna be super hot I just set it with that setting spray now I'm going to take as you're gonna think this is weird, but I'm going to take a finishing powder So that was our setting powder. This is our finishing powder minus the Lancome absolute And this is an absolute golden and I just take my big humongous fluffy brush from it cosmetics By the way, I think this brush is gonna go on sale at Ulta for half off and that's how I originally got mine So check that out. I kind of loaded it up not a ton But again, I'm going to shake off any excess I can get and now I'm gonna hit the high points So that my skin looks finished. I'm gonna go across my forehead. I'm gonna go across my cheeks This is a very light touch.  Lastly, I'm gonna go in with a radiant spray Now this is an alginist bottle But there is the radiant setting spray from Nick's in here because that bottle was spitting at me So I love this bottle because it doesn't do that all it just gives a really fine mist and I'm just gonna really lightly spray and That's it. That is everything I do for my complexion Keep in mind. I realize that is a lot of steps, but when I get into my routine I can do my entire complexion part my eyes usually take the longest between eyebrows Mascara and eyeshadow. They take a long time for me to do all the rest of this stuff 10 minutes maybe to do everything else including all of the colors that I put on my face. Okay, so now I get to go Off-camera. I'm gonna do my lips and my mascara and I'll be back to talk to you Okay, guys, this is the finished look on a flawless face of foundation For older women gonna pan out just a little bit so that you guys can see this on a little bit more of a distance So this is about how far I would be standing away from somebody if I were just talking to them on a regular Basis so you can see how well this does you know all the added factors in as far as the contour and everything It does really well and it adds to the flawless foundation But the powders and the sprays those are all things that you need for your foundation to last a long time for it to Give that seamless blurred out effect that you get when you do your foundation So I hope this was helpful to you guys This is a really easy routine and you don't have to cake makeup on but it does look like You have a very finished skin even though you guys saw I had all kinds of spots all kinds of redness You have very finished skin, but it still looks very skin like and that's what I love about doing this foundation routine So I hope that you did enjoy it. Please give it a thumbs up if you did I hope that everybody is staying happy and healthy and everything is going well for everyone Everybody, please take care of yourselves. I love you all so very much and I'll see you all in my very next video.
