Yeah, but you said only Florian you were overcoming that Pagon is something I want to go into With flurry. Oh, you cannot shake it from my mind mr. Thurston. He's attempt to assassinate you Borla must have stumbled on the fact that you were coming. That's one explanation senior flurry. Oh By getting back to business again. I have a suggestion you have but to speak and it shall be done I'm convinced that your government's right only one thing is holding baller back money. Yes All has got to have money lots of it the posting of guards at all the banks and big business houses has stymied him temporarily But he's gonna get more desperate every minute Senior why don't you double the number of guards at the banks right away at once? Mr. Thurston, I shall notify immediately Capitan Oliphant who is in complete charge of the campaign against Borla Pardon hello Oh, yes, Capitan. I'm with mr. Ken Thurston who has come from the United States to help us Rapide mente What's up captain Oliphant has just made an important arrest one of Bolo's men Yes, and I suggest we go and question him at once Now mr. Thurston This prisoner he seems to know you mr. Thurston. Yes Captain Oliphant as he's in your what name do this man give you? Thurston you can't do this to me.  I was trying to find him. I am very suspicious Tell me senior Thurston. You have seen his man before. Oh so many times please mr. Thurston You can vouch for him perhaps his own mother wouldn't vouch for him. Oh, thank you, mr I didn't let him go captain. He's perfectly harmless. I'll take care of it Really a thousand pardons for making you rush over here, sir. That's all I kept him ever a fact I'd like to have a talk with you can we get together say this evening always pleasure I also would be free mr. First no need to bother you senior Floreo Hello See one woman for you a senior first me Hello I saw him and I think he saw me You saw Borla where Borla tell me quickly Mary on Camino Harano near the museum hold on Camino Harano near the museum together see I go senior Thurston I will tell you for you this evening come come Hello, Mary I'm so frightened ball is going to be too busy to think of you Mary Let me keep you too busy the thing of him Ten o'clock good Lord ten o'clock I Was sure pigment of her from captain Oliver by now and send him over here. Maybe the Capitán has been detained You said yourself that ball I might strike at any second. That's all the more reason like who's there What's happening a big fire Where it's a government center. Now. Yeah, I've got to run, but don't worry Pagon will stay with you But but I like to go to fire. This is one you're going to miss.  I've been looking for you You might have been badly hurt in the crash of those timbers Well, you could say I might have been killed I never would I forgive myself for having exposed you to such danger I did not dream that the timbers were about to collapse. Why does it call me because Because where I was standing it was so much safer and I want to discuss with you this grave misfortune It could have been deliberate signal Floreo deliberate what could possibly Be gained by burning down the government the printing office and by whom well baller for one But how wish I have the answer to that you're pardoned mr. Thurston, but I think you are mistaken It is inconceivable that there could be any Connection about Captain Oliver maybe he can point to a connection I have searched for the captain everywhere not since he left for Camino Arana Have I been able to contact him? He was supposed to have a talk with me tonight as you know. Yes. Yes I remember That fireman seems to have found something let's see what is it? Amigo a body here in the rubble Oh Elephant the captain date Senior you must have been helping fight the fire senior Floreo I said that maybe captain on a friend could point to a connection between baller and the burning of the government printing office He has With a knife in his back man called x starring Herbert Marshall the threat of a coup d'etat against the Central American Republic by a man named Borla has brought Ken Thurston to Libertado the night of his arrival the government printing office is gutted by fire and The man who had been on Borla's trail captain Elephant is found dead with a knife in his back Now shortly after midnight and the office of the dead man Look here, senior Floreo. What is it mr. Thurston? A little clue to the connection between baller and the burning of the government printing office here in captain Elephant's dossier on him, but I myself studied the dossier from beginning to end did you yes, and I found nothing Well, I found something look several times in his game of hide-and-seek with the law and order boys Baller poses a stamp dealer saw stamp dealer.  Isn't that what the stamps are printed? But I still do not understand the director of printing may senior Priests. Yes. Yes find him for me I've got to talk to him right away Yes, and you're thirsty This is the way in which the stamps will print it. This is where the fire started now, senior Priests Do you agree that there is a connection between baller and the fire? Yes, but what it is Send your I share Florio signals. Are you see mr. Thurston? Just look around your amigo all the presses destroyed all the plates melted down the Entire stamp supply reduced to ashes Senior Priests has there by any chance been a new stamp issue recently only yesterday the memory issue the first new issue in over to That's it. What if it were completely destroyed in the conflagration if it were completely destroyed But what if it weren't what have only the plates were destroyed What if baller had his hands on the new stamps the only cop is in existence? That'd be worth a fortune a tremendous fortune. Yes. Yes. I'll get this It wouldn't be the first time stamps have started a war far from it Dunonsia when he sees fuma in 1919 The form of Vilno in 1920. Don't you see? Yes. Now I begin timing Everything ties in Ballers got to be stuck before he can get out of this country to New York, but why New York goes tomorrow No, sir. Help me. It's after midnight. No today The International Stamp Exhibition opens there from all over the world stamp collectors will come sure with cash Where else would baller head for but New York? Gentlemen there's a lot to be done Well, apparently Thing has been taken care of we have blocked every possible means of exit from this country And so Mr. Thurston through your magnificent help Borla will never leave Libertago with those stamps We have left already a lot of time went by between the start of the fire and the start of the blockade what's no planes left of this We are certain the blockade caught him by surprise. Let's hope so There's no underestimating baller in his pals You can bet he's paying things pretty thoroughly, but he didn't had a rake and we've The man called eggs. I wouldn't even bank on that Well, there's no point in hanging around here no longer. No sleep. Well, mr. Thurston later First I want to have another talk with that director of printing mr. Prius How would you like to earn an extra $50? Mr. Thurston did I dream of her? Did you really know you dreamt it? And you'll also have to dream up all the rest of the money I'm supposed to pay you unless you can explain what you're doing out here in that hammock Hiding so that if this terrible borla creeps up on Marie inside the house You'll scare him away with your snoring pay gone when I left you here with Marie I told you to keep your eyes open who can sleep with eyes open Besides I made the delicious Marie give me her word that if anything happened she would wait brilliant Unfortunately, mr. Thurston the same cannot be said of you. No this adorable Exquisite ravishing this seniorita. She thinks of only of you all night long worries. I mean no Finally at daybreak. She sends me to find out what has happened Sorry, tell him everything and with you pay gone everything is everything But she's a brave girl She deserves to know that her heart has been given to mr.  See you later Not a bad time that many do not think of me Kim I have made up my mind to want come You have enough responsibilities without having to worry about what borla may try to do to me and so You see You're packing leaving on the plane two hours from now Well, why don't you come with me Kim? You have already done enough. Let the others do the rest I kind of like to finish what I start Marie then finish it in New York Pick on says that is where the stamps will end up forget about the stamps.  I Must not ask questions. I know But you will tell me all about it later once you're all about it now Know anything about for that earlier? Oh the hobby of postage stamps. Well, it seems such an innocent past time Harry in the United States alone. There are eleven and a half million stamp collectors Last year they spent close to 45 million bucks in good American money on their collections The business that big has to have its rules. Yes, of course when a new issue of stamps is printed anywhere in the world He doesn't recognize by full-attletes unless a few of the stamps are actually used in the mail That kind of makes it really official. Oh, I've just been to the home of the director of printing now Listen not one stamp of the Memorial issue has been used in the mail So all I have to do is to spread word in the proper places and baller will find that his precious stamps are just so much Oh, so many pillar little scraps of paper Darling, I must not keep your moment longer.  Yes, very I think I'd better But I've seen your floreo should phone. Will you tell him I'm at the villa Pacifico? You are not going to your own hotel just a precaution Every precaution can Goodbye, Mary only until New York Mr.. There's non-famish unless I have some breakfast immediately.   This is the lot of pagan self Are you trying to make me dizzy do you need help no, I mean yes, I mean Why do we keep on going around and around so much all these side streets and alleys you've got to make sure nobody follows us to the villa Pacifico We'll be following ourselves. We keep this up now listen But I'm inside the villa Pacifico right in the telegrams. I wanted to wait outside because somebody there may try to stop me It's up to you to keep them From shooting me in the back Why don't you send them from somewhere else then I'd learn nothing, but mr.  X that's a silly question even from you this my friend is ball The first time where are we rushing to now the airport senior Floreo To get there before my re's plane takes off and I suppose I'll get another kiss on the forehead Maybe when she finds out how you tackle baller. She'll really kiss you To me and my countryman mr.. Zerich meet you will forever be a hero That's me a hero. This has been a great day for Libertado I still wish we've been able to make baller talk by the way, mr. X What did it just appear to while we were trying to find the stamps? Oh, I had to send the police on a little errand The airport and there is the plane, but the police. What are they doing? I told you Pagan a little errand Come on now. I look look great excitement around the plane Hello, Marie darling make them put an end to this That's my angel. I was the one who sent him here Just as you told baller to knock me off before I could send those wires I oh no darling nobody else knew I was going to the villa Pacifico and the wires incidentally were phonies Those stamps had been used in the males some had even been sent to the universal postal union Oh But didn't it be scared of baller when all the time you were working along with him Oh, mr.. Thurston the stamps they found the stamps in her luggage That's it Pagan take her in your arms But look out for that kiss of death. Oh, mr. Thurston. I cannot express my country's debt to you As a slight token, I beg you to accept this block of stamps from the memorial issue No, senor fario Get them to do a York fast They'll bring enough to build you when you printing plant and Froyo May every one of those stamps be a symbol a symbol of good government The kind of that will survive in spite of men like baller Who try to get personal wealth and power at the expense of the people now frigid air star Herbert Marshall?

A Description of the Morning by Jonathan Swift Red for LibriVox.org by E. Pline Now hardly here and there a hackney-coach appearing showed the ruddy-mourne's approach. Now Betty from her master's bed had flown and softly stole to decompose her own. The slip-shod apprentice from his master's door had paired the dirt and sprinkled round the floor. Now Maul had whirled her mop with dexterous airs, prepared to scrub the entry and the stairs. The youth with broomy stumps began to trace the kennel-edge where wheels had worn the place. The small coal-man was heard with cadence deep till drowned in triller tones of chimney-sweep. Dunns at his lordship's gate began to meet, and brick-dust Maul had screamed through half a street. The turnkey now his flock returning seas duly let out a night to steal for fees. The watchful bailiffs take their silent stands, and schoolboys lag with satchels in their hands. End of poem.

Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eaton College by Thomas Gray Read for LibriVox.org by Jeanette Virgusson Ye distant spires ye antique towers that crown the watery glade, where grateful science still adores her Henry's holy shade, and ye that from the stately brow of Windsor's Heights, the expanse below, of grove of lawn of mead-survey, whose turf, whose shade, whose flowers among, wanders the hoary tames along his silver-winding way, a happy hills, a pleasing shade, a fields beloved in vain, where once my careless childhood strayed, a stranger yet to pain, I feel the gales up from ye blow, a momentary bliss-bestow, as waving fresh their gladsome wing, my weary soul they seem to soothe, and redolent of joy and youth to breathe a second spring. Say father, tames, for thou hast seen, full many a sprightly race, desporting on thy margin green, the paths of pleasure trace, who foremost now delight to cleave, with pliant arm thy glassy wave, the captive linnet which enthrall, what idle progeny succeed to chase the rolling-circle's speed or urge the flying ball, while some on earnest business-bent their murmuring labor's ply, against graver-hours that bring constraint to sweeten liberty, some bold adventurers disdain the limits of their little reign, and unknown regions dare to scry, still as they run they look behind, they hear a voice in every wind, and snatch a fearful joy. Gay hope is theirs by fancy fed, less pleasing when possessed. The tear forgot as soon as shed, the sunshine of the breast. There's buxom health of rosy hue, wild wit invention ever new, and lively cheer of vigour-born, the thoughtless day, the easy night, the spirit's pure, the slumber's light, that fly the approach of morn. Alas, regardless of their doom, the little victims play, no sense have they of ills to come, nor care beyond today, yet see how all around them wait, the ministers of human fate, and black misfortunes baleful train. I'll show them where an ambush stand to seize their prey the murderous bend, I'll tell them they are men. These shall a fury passions tear, the vultures of the mind, disdainful anger pallid fear, and shame that skulks behind, or pining love shall waste their youth, or jealousy with wrinkling tooth, that inly gnaws the secret heart, and envy won and faded care, grim visage to comfort list despair, and sorrows piercing dart. Ambition this shell tempt to rise, then whirl the wretch from high, to better scorn a sacrifice, and grinning infamy. The stings of falsehood those shall try, and hard and kindness altered eye, that mocks the tear it forced to flow, and keen remorse with blood defiled, and moody madness laughing wild amid severest woe. Low in the veil of years beneath a grizzly trooper scene, the painful family of death, more hideous than their queen. This racks the joints, this fires of veins that every laboring sinew strains, those in the deeper vitals rage, low poverty to fill the bend, that numbs the soul with icy hand and slow consuming age.

Ashes of love, charred letters, faded heliotrope, rose petals fallen from a dead hand, spiders, bats, deserted houses, crumbling citadels, and wheel-ruts where vanished armies have passed. Is that all? Oh, dust is sun and laughter, circuses, parasols, preening pigeons, lovers picnicking by the roadside, and ragamuffins tumbling in the warm lanes. Dust is rainbow webs caught in sweet, hot smelling hedges, and it is dust that keeps my eyes from being blinded by the stars. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain.

The Hymn of Clienties, by Clienties The Stoic. Read for LibriVox.org by Leon Meyer. Chiefest Glory of Deathless Gods, Almighty Forever, Sovereign of Nature that Rulest by Law. What name shall we give thee? Blessed be thou, for on thee should call all things that are mortal. For that we are thine offspring, nay all that in myriad motion lives for its day, on the earth bears one impress, thy likeness upon it. Wherefore my song is of thee, and I hymn thy power for ever. Lo, the vast orb of the worlds, round the earth ever more as it rolleth, feels thee its ruler and guide, and owns thy lordship rejoicing. I for thy conquering hands have a servant of living fire, sharp as the bolt, where it falls, nature shrinks at the shock and doth shudder. Thus thou directest the word universal that pulses through all things, mingling its life with lights that are great, and lights that are lesser. Then as besiemeth its birth, high king through ages unending. Not is done that is done without thee in the earth or the waters, or in the heights of heaven save the deed of the fool in the sinner. Thou canst make rough things smooth, at thy voice low, jarring disorder, moveth to music, and love is born where hatred abounded. This has thou fitted alike things good and things evil together, that over all might reign one reason, supreme and eternal. Though there unto the hearts of the wicked be hardened and headless, woe unto them, for while ever their hands are grasping at good things, blind are their eyes, yea, stopped are their ears, to God's law universal. Going through wise obedience to live the life that is noble, this they mark not, but heedless of right turn each to his own way. Here a heart fired with ambition, in strife and straining unhallowed, there, thrusting on her aside, fast set upon getting and gaining. Others again, given over to lusts, and disolute softness, working never God's law, but that which wareth upon it. Nay, but, O giver of all things good, whose home is the dark cloud, thou that wieldest heaven's bolt, save men from their ignorance grievous, scatter its night from their souls, and grant them to come to that wisdom, wherewithal, sistered with justice, thou rulest and governest all things. That we, honored by thee, may require thee with worship and honor, evermore praising thy works as as meat for men that shall perish, seeing that none, be he mortal or God, hath privilege nobler than without stint, without stay, to extol thy law universal. In the Shadows, by E. Pauline Johnson, read for LibriVox.org by Betsy Bush, in Marquette, Michigan, May 2007. In the Shadows, I am sailing to the leeward, where the current runs to seaward, soft and slow, where the sleeping river grasses brush my paddle as it passes to and fro. On the shore the heat is shaking, all the golden sands awaking in the cove, and the quaint sandpiper, winging or the shallows, ceases singing when I move. On the water's idle pillow sleeps the overhanging willow, green and cool, where the rushes lift their burnished oval heads from out the tarnished emerald pool, where the very silence slumbers, water lilies grow in numbers, pure and pale. All the morning they have rested, amber-crowned and pearly crested, fair and frail. Here impossible romances, indefinable sweet fancies cluster round, but they do not mar the sweetness of this still September fleetness with the sound. I can scarce discern the meeting of the shore and the stream retreating, so remote, for the laggard river dozing, only wakes from its reposing where I float. Where the river mists are rising, all the foliage baptizing with their spray, there the sun gleams far and faintly, with a shadow soft and saintly in its ray, and the perfume of some burning far-off brushwood ever turning to exhale, all its smoky fragrance dying in the arms of evening lying where I sail. My canoe is growing lazy in the atmosphere so hazy, while I dream, half in slumber I am guiding, eastward indistinctly gliding down the stream. Inward Morning by Henry David Thoreau In its fashions hourly change it all things else repairs. In vain I look for change abroad, and can no difference find, till some new ray of peace uncalled elumes my inmost mind. What is it guilds the trees and clouds, and paints the heavens so gray, but yonder fast-abiding light, with its unchanging ray? Low, when the sun streams through the wood upon a winter's morn, where air his silent beams intrude, the murky night is gone. How could the patient pine have known the morning breeze would come, or humble flowers anticipate the insect's noonday hum? Till the new light, with the morning cheer, from far streamed through the aisles, and nimbly told the farthest tree for many stretching miles. I've heard within my inner soul such cheerful morning news, and the horizon of my mind have seen such orient hues as in the twilight of the dawn, when the first birds awake are heard within some silent wood where they, the small twigs, break. Or in the eastern skies are seen before the sun appears the harbingers of summer heats, which, from afar, he bears. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. I sailed up a river with a pleasant wind, by Henry David Thorow. Read for LibriVox.org by Alan Davis Drake. I sailed up a river with a pleasant wind, new lands, new people, and new thoughts to find. Many fair reaches and headlands appeared, and many dangers were there to be feared. But when I remembered where I had been, and the fair landscapes that I had seen, thou seamest the only permanent shore, the cape never rounded, nor wandered o'er. End of poem.

Dewcloth, dream drapery, and napkins spread by phase. Drifting meadow of the air, where bloom the daisied banks and violets, and in whose fanny labyrinth the bittern booms and heron wades, spirit of lakes and seas and rivers, bear only perfumes and the scent of healing herbs to just men's fields.

Beheld from land to land. There as they lie in time within their native climb. Ships, with the noon tide way, and glide before its ray to some retired bay. Their haunt wence under tropic sun again they run, bearing gum Senegal and tragicant. For this was ocean-ment, for this the sun was sent, and the moon was lent, and winds in distant caverns pent. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. The River Merchant's Wife, a letter, by Ezra Pound. Recorded for LibriVox.org by Paul Z. Hong Kong. While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead, I played about the front gate, pulling flowers. You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse.  And we went on living in the village of Chow Khan, two small people without dislike or suspicion. At fourteen, I married my Lord you. I never laughed, being bashful. Lowering my head, I looked at the wall, called to a thousand times. I never looked back. At fifteen, I stopped scowling. I desired my dust to be mingled with yours forever and forever and forever. Why should I climb the lookout? At sixteen, you departed. You went into far Ku To Yan by the river of swirling eddies. And you have been gone five months. The monkeys make sorrowful noise overhead. You dragged your feet when you went out. By the gate now, the moss is grown, the different mosses. Too deep to clear them away. The leaves fall early this autumn in wind. The paired butterflies are already yellow with August, over the grass in the West Garden. They hurt me. I grow older. If you're coming down through the narrows of the river, please let me know beforehand. And I will come out to meet you, as far as Chou Fu Sa, from the Chinese of Leipol. End of poem.

And next, intelligences at a leap, on whom pale lies the distant shadow of the tomb, and all that droid on the tomb for text. Into which state comes love, the crowning sun, beneath whose light the shadow loses form. We are the lords of life, and life is warm. Intelligence and instinct now are one. But nature says, My children, most they seem, when they least know me, therefore I decree that they shall suffer. Swift doth young love flee, and we stand, wakened, shivering from our dream. Then, if we study nature, we are wise. Thus do the few who live but with the day, the scientific animals are they.  End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. The Moon by Henry David Thoreau Read for Librivox.org by Alan Davis Drake Time wears her knot. She doth his chariot guide. Mortality below her orb is placed. Raleigh The full-orbed moon with unchanged ray mounts up the eastern sky, not doomed to these short nights for a, but shining steadily. She does not wane, but my fortune, which her rays do not bless, my wayward path declineeth soon. But she shines, not the less. And if she faintly glimmers here, and pale is her light, yet always in her proper sphere She's mistress of the night. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. Resemblance by Winifred Wells Read for Librivox.org by Leanne Howlett I have on mine no likeness to your fairy queen-like face, no sign in all my body of any of your grace.  But where your two breasts parted a small mark darkened you, and over my heart's beating I have the same scar, too. A little seal and golden, whereby it shall be known that you have shaped and borne me, and stamped me as your own. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. A Riddle by Hannah Moore I'm a strange contradiction. I'm new, and I'm old. I'm often in tatters, and oft decked with gold, though I never could read, yet lettered I'm found, though blind I enlighten, though loose I am bound. I'm always in black, and I'm always in white, I'm grave, and I'm gay, I am heavy and light. In numbers I vary, I'm eight, and I'm four, and though I am twelve, I can't reach half a score. In form, too, I differ. I'm thick, and I'm thin. I've no flesh, and no bone, yet I'm covered with skin. I've more points than the compass, more stops than the flute. I sing without voice, without speaking, confute. I'm English, I'm German, I'm French, and I'm Dutch. Some love me too fondly, some slight me too much. I often die soon, though I sometimes live ages, and though Monika Live has so many pages. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. Song by Thomas Babington Macaulay Read for LibriVox.org by Christian Hughes O stay, Madonna, stay. It is not the dawn of day that marks the skies with yonder opal streak. The stars in silence shine.

Leave me to watch and weep or the sad memory of departed joys, or hope's extinguished beam, or fancy's vanished dream, or all that nature gives and man destroys. Awake, Madonna, wake. Even now the purple lake is dappled o'er with amber flakes of light. A glow is on the hill, and every trickling reel in golden threads leaps down from yonder height. O fly, Madonna, fly. Lest day and envy spy what only love and night may safely know. Fly and tread softly, dear. Lest those who hate us hear the sounds of thy light footsteps as they go. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. The youngster and the red-faced girl turn aside up the bushy hill. I, peeringly, view them from the top. The suicide sprawls on the bloody floor of the bedroom. I witness the corpse with its dabbled hair. I note where the pistol has fallen. The blab of the pave, tires of carts, slough of boot-souls, talk of the promenaders. The heavy omnibus, the driver with its interrogating thumb, the clank of the shod horses on the granite floor. The slow sleighs, clinking, shouted jokes, pelts of snowballs. The hurrahs for popular favourites, the flap of the curtained litter, a sick man inside, born to the hospital, the meeting of enemies, the sudden oath, the blows and fall, the excited crowd, the policeman, with his star quickly working his passage to the centre of the crowd, the impassive stones that receive and return so many echoes. What groans of overfed or half-starved, who fall sun-struck or in fits, what exclamations of women taken suddenly who hurry home and give birth to babes. What living and buried speech is always vibrating here. What howls restrained by decorum. Arrests of criminals, slights, adulterous offers made, acceptances, rejections with convex lips. I mind them, or the show, or resonance of them. I come, and I depart. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain. This is a LibriVox recording.

That's L-I-B-R-I-V-O-X L-I-B-R-I-V-O-X dot O-R-G.  Read by Matthew Bodey.    It sleeps well, the horned head. We poor lads, tis our turn now, to hear such tunes as killed the cow. Pretty friendship, tis to rhyme, your friends to death before their time, moping melancholy mad. Come pipe a tune to dance to, lad. Why, if tis dancing you would be, there's brisker pipes than poetry. Say, for what were hop yards meant, or why was Burton built on Trent? Many a peer of England brews, livelier liquor than the muse, and malt does more than Milton can to justify God's way to man. Ale, man, ale's the stuff to drink, for fellows whom it hurts to think. Look into the pewter pot, to see the world as the world's not, and faith, tis pleasant till, tis past, the mischief is that, twill not last. Oh, I have been to Ludlow fair and left my necktie, God knows where, and carried half way home or near, pints and quartz of Ludlow beer, then the world seemed none so bad, and I myself, a sterling lad, and down in lovely muck I've lain, happy till I woke again, then I saw the morning sky. I ho the jail was all a lie, the world it was the old world yet, I was I, my things were wet, and nothing now remain to do, but begin the game anew. Therefore, since the world is still much good, but much less good than ill, and while the sun and moon endure, luxe a chance but trouble sure, I'd find it as a wise man would, and train for ill and not for good, tis true the stuff I bring for sale is not so brisk, a brew as ale, out of a stem that's scored the hen I wrung it in a weary land, but take it if the smack is sour, the better for the embittered hour, it should do good to heart and head when your soul is in my soul's stead, and I will friend you, if I may, in the dark and cloudy day. There was a king reigned in the east, there when kings will sit to feast, they get their fill before they think, with poisoned meat and poisoned drink, he gathered all the springs to berth from the many-venomed earth, first a little, then some more, he sampled all her killing-store, an easy, smiling, seasoned sound, say the king when else went round, they put arsenic in his meat and stared aghast to watch him eat, they poured strict nine in his cup and shook to see him drink it up, they shook they stared as whites their shirt, them it was their poison hurt.

Once in the garden rained flowers. Children ran there joyously. They gathered the flowers each to himself. Now there were some who gathered great heaps, having opportunity and skill, until, behold, only chance blossoms remained for the feeble. Then a little spindling tutor came in importantly to the father crying, pray, come hither, see this unjust thing in your garden. But when the father had surveyed, he admonished the tutor, not so small sage, this thing is just.  Why should the strong, the beautiful strong? Why should they not have the flowers? Upon reflection the tutor bowed to the ground. My lord, he said, the stars are displaced by this towering wisdom. End of poem. This recording is in the public domain.

haven't started it yet Um, it was going full time with commercializing noria something that you were considering. Um Well, so I I co-founded the company to start commercializing noria ready set and The main reason why I didn't start working for that company straight away was because I um I was so burnt out with database work Where I'd worked on noria for like six years straight day in day out weekends Like that was just burnt into my brain and so I was I just didn't have the The capacity to do any more work on it. Um, I still think it's important and valuable, but it's just Certainly at the time when I graduated I was just Even just the thought of going back into the codebase made me be unproductive no matter what I was working on Um And so so I recognized that the right place for me to go would not be to work on commercializing noria that it just wouldn't work But I think it was important to do that and hence I co-funded but did not work for It's gotten a little bit better, but even now like I still feel this Tingling of like it's too it's too soon like databases and especially the noria codebase is still like So burned into my memory that I need distance from it Um Have you tried using emacs? I tried emacs for a little bit and I didn't really like it Um, one of the things I didn't like was that it's not really a terminal editor It wants its own gooey and I don't want to give my editor its own gooey Um, and the other reason was because the key bindings were weird Um, and the third reason was it felt like It was more an operating system than an editor and that's not what I wanted Um, those aren't great reasons. Um, I don't have like a Burning passion that people shouldn't use emacs. I just that just wasn't for me at the time at least um What is your advice for people struggling To find a job in the tech industry nowadays not necessarily as a rustup It makes me think that the industry is still saturated and I should focus on personal projects instead Would like to know your thoughts Cheers man signed just a dude Nice sign. Um I don't know that the industry is saturated. I think the industry is maybe saturated for More junior engineers, perhaps Um, so it would be useful to know more about your Um, your background here to really answer this well But but I do think that there are a lot of tech jobs out there Uh, especially in rust for junior and senior people. Um, one of the things though that I found that is unfortunate is a lot of Especially startups Tend to want to try to hire senior people and I think that's a mistake I think if you build your company with only senior people until you get to a size where you're like, okay Now we can now it's okay. We can start hiring junior people. You build a senior Senior engineer culture. You don't build the mechanisms the devices the tools the processes for Making junior engineers succeed at your company and turn into senior engineers I think if you build the company with Junior engineers present from the start it forces you To build the company in a sustainable way where you have a pipeline for engineers to go up through the company Um, and so I I wish there were more tech startups that hired junior people Uh, which brings me to the the obvious follow-up question, which is I don't know what helsing is doing here Um, I believe that helsing is pretty good about hiring junior people as well I don't know whether they're they currently have any openings. It's worth looking um And if they don't have any openings for junior people, then I want to have a word with them and see But but this is certainly an area where I think it is very valuable for companies to hire junior people But I don't at the same time. I don't know what level you're at and I don't know Which languages you're looking at or what country or region you're looking at and whether you're open to remote Whether you're only looking for in person Um, it it's difficult. Um, also also Companies tend to mostly make exceptions in terms of things like remote for more senior people So if you're junior you have less availability for companies because you have to look at companies that are either fully remote where everyone can be remote or That are on location where you are and that limits your search as well um But if you're struggling to find something I do think that focusing on personal projects is pretty good Although keep in mind that that mostly helps you for self development right so Like it'll make you better as an engineer. It's not clear how much it'll help you on your resume like open source work is Tricky to use in a resume setting because if you're on the Receiving side of a resume that mostly lists open source stuff Evaluating how well you ran open source projects and what kind of experience you've gotten from it is tricky at best so you will generally probably Not get that much benefits from it resume wise um Does norway have a lot to learn in terms of tech industry should the Norwegians take more risks and be more innovative? um I don't know that it's about risk or innovation um I think it's partially the norways just really small. They're just aren't that many Norwegians And so there's fewer of us to be innovative. It also means that it's harder to start a company because you're initial audience size your initial customer base is smaller um The taxation rules in norway are also so that such that it's Pretty costly and annoying to start a small company um Which means many people don't or they start at the mouseware I know that the rules have gotten a little bit better Recently like in the past few years. So maybe that starts to change things But but I don't think norway is non innovative I think it's a combination of those factors that just make it that we don't have like huge booms coming out of here I also think there's a pay problem and this applies more broadly in europe but but certainly in norway that I I had a couple of conversations with Norwegian tech companies And they weren't really competitive in terms of salaries, which means you're not pulling talent here Which stifles your innovation and also stifles the possibility for future inventions here Um But but I don't think it's about risk-taking or or being innovative in the first place Um Do you know who magnus carlson is if so how famous is he in norway? Yes, I know who he is and he's quite famous in norway. Yeah We're we're very proud of anyone Anyone who's from norway who does it well in the world because there aren't very many of them There aren't very many of us And so we get irrationally excited when we see like a new region flag somewhere else in the world Very cool. If there's a new region flag like on tv or Like if I watch an american show and in the show, there's a new region flag I get a little excited or there's a new region in there excited because we're just we're just tiny. There aren't that many Um What do you think of free bsd and all the other bsds? It's also it'll also be great to hear what you think about next to us Um, I like bsd. I ran open open bsd for a little while the biggest challenge. I think I had was that It was just too inconvenient like I wanted too many things that were linux only and so I just gave up Um, maybe things are better now to the point where I should consider trying it again. Um, but I don't know. I know this this also gets to the I don't really feel the The carrot or the stick, right? There's nothing that's really pulling me to bsd And there's nothing that's really pushing me away from linux. And so I'm pretty happy where I am um next to us I like the idea There too, I don't really know what the incentive is to move I've heard that it is Easier to get things to just work because they're installed as as bundles rather than as you know You build your application to dump it on your file system and that appeals to me to some extent um But I've also heard that the nyx language is a huge pain and I quite like writing arch package builds, which are just bash um, so I I like the idea of nyx os. Maybe I'll start tinkering around with it Given that helsing does some nyx stuff as well. It's not unreasonable that I might end up, um Uh Dabbling in it and then it infects my entire life, which it seems how is how nyx gets into people's lives It starts as a little bit and then it just takes over Um, but that's the extent to which I have uh useful input there Um What are your thoughts about working in the security field security is really fun, um, I mean it's terrifying But I I really like security. I was the the teaching assistant for the computer security class at MIT for many years um, and it's I think it's fascinating to think about threat models to think about security mechanisms and they're the trade-offs involved in the space the trade-off between user convenience and um and security Um, I I think it's a hugely interesting field. I don't know what it's like to work in the field now At amazon and probably at helsing too a decent amount of the work that I do is security Related or has components that are that are about security But working as like a security engineer, for example is not a position. I've had but I've interacted a lot with them um, and I it sounds Really fun But also quite stressful because you are on the hook for getting things right And when things go wrong, you're the first person paged And I'm okay with that not being me But it seems really interesting to me Have you tried leptos for front end development? And what are your thoughts about front end development in rust in general? I have not tried leptos and my thoughts about front end development in rust is that um It's weird to me to do front end development in rust because rust is not a front end language I think rust makes a lot of sense for Web assembly like when you want to write specific components that require the sort of high performance or or correctness Stuff or low level control that you get in rust But building your entire front end in rust feels a little weird It does depend on what you mean by front end because if what you mean is sort of The the thing that generates the html and css Then like that's not really front end development to me There there is some of that maybe and that's where I think something like leptos Falls in but when it comes to like building something like single page apps or reactive applications and stuff I just wouldn't do that in rust. It feels weird to to force that to be in the sort of Back end that then gets converted. I think that's a recipe for pain I do think that rust has a place Relatively close to the front end. It still makes sense In in terms of things like generating html generating, you know, the htb Sort of service kind of thing that there makes a lot of sense to me But in the actual development of the ui probably not or at least it doesn't make sense as much sense to me Okay How will tech look like in a decade I Don't know probably about the same as now I just like don't believe in significant radical change over the course of only 10 years It happens but like More ai If I had to make a like a radical guess, let's turn this question interesting like What is the most radical guess I can make as to how development will be different in 10 years from now? um I think that the current trend to work remotely is Not slowing down it is accelerating and I think that uh We're going to see a Not just remote first but a remote only approach to work Where fewer and fewer people actually go into offices or want to go into offices And I think it's going to Completely change how companies think about their about engineering culture about engineering how we do remote engineering because A lot of the practices that especially the big tech companies use are very much rooted in how we ran development During again person type things and I think it's just going to be radically different like things like um real-time collaborative Coding I think we're going to see more of You know there are some editors are starting to get this now where you can have Multiple cursor in a code editor and I think that's the kind of direction that we're going in Where like you know in in the olden days you would sit down at a computer together and like pair program And I think that's all going to be remote. I think we're we're leaving the world of in-office software engineering behind And there are a bunch of things that are hard about that and that that we don't know how to solve But a decade from now, I I think we're going to see that trend accelerate Uh What back-end framework do you recommend axiom, actic salvo or any other I like axiom um For a bunch of reasons, but none that are particularly well informed except that I've used it. I like it I know the developer pretty well and Or I've interacted with them sort of online a bunch and they built good stuff um Integrates pretty closely with tokyo, which I think is a good idea. I like axiom Uh Do you think rust is the best language to different implementing cryptography right now as opposed to cc plus plus they can go? Yes um Go is go is very good at cryptography right now But it's mostly because they have really good cryptographers working full-time on that problem I don't think it's because the language is inherently better suited for it. Um I still struggle to see what zig's unique selling point is or why that's better than rust But you know, I could be convinced wrong there But I would rather them be built in rust like anything where you don't Need something that goes beyond the boundaries that rust puts on you. I think is good to do in rust um All right, I'm gonna speed run through a little bit here and aggressively skip some questions Um, because I want to end it probably around nine. So in like six minutes. So that's three hour mark I think it's about good. I'm gonna I'm gonna run through um skip that one skip that one um I've been catching up on streams from a few years ago Can you explain why you didn't go back to the lock free to weight free simulation after implementing hazard pointers? I just haven't had the time. I still want to get back to that stream I think it's really cool and interesting and the whole point was that once we get hazard pointers We can actually make progress. So I I genuinely want to go do that more. Um, it's it's on my list um What made you leave the us?  Um, I left the us because Um, I think the way that healthcare is handled there is absolutely insane um, I don't like the car-centric cities and the car-centric culture of having to drive everywhere um, I think the intrusions on civil rights in the us including things like the right to abortion being taken away is is wild um I um I also think that the fact that Guns are a problem in the society at the level that it is is not something I want a part of um And the fact that you have basically no employee rights in the us You know you not only it's like healthcare tied to your employer But also like you can be fired on the day. There's no required notice period You have very few rights as an employee union culture is sort of dying out um And taking together like I just don't see why you would stay in the us right now. I just don't think it is valuable um Why do you choose to work in AI and not some high-frequency trading quant firms? Um I his quant again Um I don't know I I I don't Work at Helsing because of the AI stuff the AI stuff. I don't really care about it's an enabling technology That's used in part of the stack I did it because a I think what they do is important and b because they have some really unique problems in the distributed system space High frequency trading not so much um like Sure, you need to be low latency in high throughput and whatnot, but like They're not uniquely different interesting problems to me um Do normal developers need to care about the fuss around the rust or again the trademark issues? Does that affect anything if we're just developers? Mostly no. I also talked about this earlier um Already answered that What's your opinion on sabbaticals? I think everyone should take more breaks and I think that should be a standard part of our working culture I think we should work fewer hours. I think we should work fewer days. I think we should take more vacations longer vacations Um, so sabbaticals very much on board. I think it's a great idea um Do you have any thoughts on aida compared to rust? I I asked I took this question just because of the use of the person who posted it um But no not really. Um, I haven't used aida at I want to say I used it once for some random task, but I don't really know aida Um, so I can't really speak to the the comparison, but I like the username you put um How do you feel about the fact that nearly everything is close on sundays? So in norway, a lot of things are close on sundays including most grocery stores.  It's kind of nice Um As you get older, do you think your ability to solve problems or learn increases or diminishes? I think my ability to solve problems is increasing. I think my ability to learn It's probably about the same It's changed. I think my ability to just like Do retention? Um of knowledge has probably gone down But at the same time I have more hooks to hang that knowledge on So It's easier for me to pick up new things because they relate to things. I already know so a little bit of both Um Is there a role for rust in the field of ai or is that ship sailed? Very much a role for rust in that field Um Now that you're no longer at aws or amazon, what's your opinion of the company? It's management techniques in particular like stack ranking employees Um, I think stack ranking makes absolutely no sense. Um, this is the same thing that certain universities do and with, um Like grading on a curve. It makes absolutely no sense. It's it's truly ridiculous Um, I understand why they do it because it's easier and more convenient, but it's a terrible practice. Um In terms of the company overall, I I think amazon Get some things really right like I actually think the leadership principles that amazon are really good um The two new ones are not so good, but the other ones are quite good. They're sensible And if you apply them well, they're a useful coherent Vocabulary to use for internal conversations and discussions And for guiding those and for guiding documents. I think the document culture is good too Um The problem of the leadership principles is that they're not universally followed They don't seem to really apply to leadership and those are senior leadership in the same way it applies to the rest of the company So they end up being sort of used to downwards, which is really annoying Uh and unfortunate But but I think you know that I think they have some pieces right I think where they're really going in the wrong direction now is on remote, of course Like I think I think they're shooting themselves in the foot. I don't think they have much of a choice For what it's worth, but but I think they are um and you know, I think amazon feels a little bit now like a two-tier company like there's sort of the There's a senior leadership And then there's the rest of the company and if I feel like there's a disconnect There's probably a communication disconnect and I think it might be partially because of coven Where they relied very heavily on in-person communication to stay in sync with the rest of the company and that's sort of gone away uh, and they haven't really Remedyed that situation except now trying to push everyone back into um in person um but I'm not Hyper critical at amazon even after leaving. I I do think that the I don't like the way that they treat employees as sort of fungible and to some extent disposable um that that Really rubs me the wrong way and the way that they lay people off and such um So mixed feelings there um, but I I value the time that I had there very much um Let's see How's your experience been living on a visa and how'd you get a work permit? um, the work permit I got Well, so what happened was I was I did my phd in the us and after your phd you can do what's known as um practical training So you get a practical training visa and that lets you work for One to three years um on that Student visa which makes it easier for companies to hire you and see how you do because they don't have to sponsor the visa And then after I joined amazon, they then immediately started applying for an h1b for me. Um and I got that like a year later or something and um That process wasn't too bad Um for smaller companies, that's more annoying. They're not if they're not used to sponsoring visas And that's the whole hassle I did not like being on a visa.  Um It's one of the reasons why I moved back to norway is so that I don't have to be on a visa And certainly not an employer sponsored one It puts you at a disadvantage to the company for sure But in addition it puts a bunch of restrictions what you can do with your spare time Like for me, I really wanted to like open a patreon. For example, not allowed um I wanted to do some rust consulting not allowed. Um It is just there's a bunch of things that you're just not allowed to do when you're on One of those visas and that was Very very frustrating um Let's see I'm scrolling through here. Are you still learning the piano? How's it going? Um No, well, I I was a little bit but my piano stayed in la and I rather I sold it in la And I haven't bought one here yet and I don't really know where it would go The apartment is a little too small But I do have this is a guitar that I bought many years ago in london and I found it when I came home Um, just like a few weeks ago So maybe I'll now try to learn the guitar again. I don't know um Does housing offer visa sponsorship? Yes I mean they do um That there are some restrictions on uh Because they work with like the military for different governments and so that there are all these Requirements coming from there where There are certain passports And dual citizenship statuses That they cannot hire like they're just not allowed because of the clients that they have So there are a couple of restrictions in that way But as long as those don't apply to you, they do offer visa sponsorship and I think they offer relocation to So you don't have to currently be in europe, but you will have to move to europe if you're not in europe I'm just browsing through here Are you interested in joining rust meetups in oslo? I already answered that one But yes, I am I'm just waiting for the next one to be scheduled um Do you speak Norwegian and if not how is living there with english only? I would like to emigrate to another country, but language is the biggest problem for me. Um, I do speak norwegian. I'm from norway myself Um, but my partner does not uh, and I think she's found it surprisingly easy like Everyone speaks english here and that there's a surprising number of people now just walking around the streets for the past You know a month or so that are also english speakers like just speaking english on the street um The main problem places where you might have problems is like if you travel far outside the cities Or if you talk to much older people, they might be less comfortable speaking english But in general people are pretty excited to speak english here, too. They speak it pretty well Um, so you you won't have too many problems with english only here um I like to play videos on 1.5 to 2x speed. I think it makes me speak faster I've noticed that you speak very clearly and steadily. Is it something that's natural to you or do you train to do it? um I that this is how I speak and and like I don't know whether it's morphed over time as I do more videos, but like I think I Try to be very intentional with my words when I speak normally And so I do that when I speak to the camera as well. Um, and that Means that I end up speaking clearly and steadily Sometimes I speak quite quickly But I think even then I try to make sure that I use all the right words as I go And and so it still ends up being very The words end up being very segregated from each other Which I think is part of what gives that that impression. Hopefully that makes it easier to understand me at higher speeds, too Um Let's see. I'm getting down to like the four vote questions Uh, where can people who do not use twitter follow your stream announcement nitter.net? Unfortunately, it doesn't work anymore Um, I'm also on mastodon uh, fosterdon.org slash at john who um, there's also a Um a calendar with all of my streams so you can just You know, um Follow that calendar That link is if you go to my fosterdom, for example, you go back a little bit You'll see the link to where I announced that I'm going to start. Um keeping a schedule Um, and apart from that, I mean this is one of the reasons why I want to set up something like a community discord or a Uh, or a patreon or something is so that it's easier for people to just get announcements from me Um, I'm also now starting to post on linkedin. So that's the other place where you can follow me Don't connect to me on linkedin. Just follow the connections are different and annoying Um, so that's the other thing to use Um, let's see Can we see photos of your sourdough? No, I threw it out. It was very very sad Um, but I will make sure to post some when I when I uh managed to get it to work again Me dumb how me get smart It's a good question All right, this list of questions is now Very long One of them just says, how are you doing? Which is a good question. I'm doing well. Thank you Uh, I'm trying to look for the ones that have been asked Recently that are the ones from chat Um Just to serve the people in chat here better Um What do you think about restation station? I mean I help run the podcast. So I think it's a pretty good thing um recently I haven't done too many episodes on it because of the move and everything but I'm hoping to get get back to that We're working on windows os be a deal breaker. Yes. I have no interest in working on windows and there's a difference between If I'm building software that other people run on windows and whether I have to develop on windows That those are a little bit different. But yes, I do not want to be forced to work on windows How would you compare working in the us versus norway? Would you recommend it for a new region? I think it was really Valuable for me to work in the us for a few years. Like it's not as though I would undo my time there it is more that It's not where I would want to be long term um I don't know that I would I so I would I would very much recommend working in the us for a little bit if you can at the same time like I don't really like the us and you would have to put up with working on the us for a bit, which Is it worth it hard to say? I would probably work for a european company instead whether remote or in that country Um Which neo vim front end or ui to use with wayland and if it's not G n vim, have you tried it? I don't use a front end gua. I use the terminal ui So I launch the lacrity. I have tmux running it and then I run N n vim directly in my terminal It's the only ui I've ever wanted to use Um, okay, I'll do Do Two more questions So let's I'll I'll start from the top and if you vote something else up then uh, then we'll take it from there I have not tried obsidian md. So I'll just get rid of that question. So it's not a um A candidate here. What started your interest in rust? Um So my interest in rust started um Really during my phd. So from my first the first year of my phd. I used to go Um, and it was fine. I didn't mind it. I like the language well enough um But then I decided to start building this database like thing and you know, I knew it was going to be High performance low latency. I knew it was going to need to do a bunch of like memory tricks. Um, I knew that it was going to be Fairly like low level code, but also I really felt as though I missed types in go Um, or I wanted to do more of them And while all of that was sort of circling in my head and I was going to start writing the first prototype I was like, all right, I'll use go for this as well. Um, and I wrote the first prototype and It was fine and then I saw the announcement of rust 1.0 and I went like, hmm this thing proposes a language That or gives a language that does a lot of or has a lot of the properties that I'm looking for in the language for this particular problem I'm doing a phd. I can just choose whatever tech stack I want. No one else is going to tell me not to um And so I just went with sure let's try rust then I guess Um, and I just never really looked back. I started using it and just really enjoyed the experience I started bringing other people on board and they enjoyed the experience after the initial learning curve It worked well with multiple people working on the project. It worked well for several years Without, you know, significant regressions and without any huge frustrations with the language And so it it was really one of those It it fit the problem that I was looking at at the time And I had the freedom to allow me to test it out and then that test was very successful and then the tests since have all been successful um So there's nothing really more Fancy to it than that. It seemed like the right tool for the job and turned out to be um All right last question What dynamic disc what can dynamic dispatch do that static and enum dispatch can't? Um Dynamic dispatch do that static and ema nenum dispatch can't um It depends what you mean by can do so The first thing that comes to mind is that dynamic dispatch Um Let's you type a race So you don't have to pass around a concrete type um with a with static The you know, if it's monomorphized the type is relevant for enum dispatch You need to have an enum variant for the thing you want to call um with dynamic dispatch you don't have to name a type um You name the trait you don't name the type and this matters in the sense that With static dispatch Anyone who calls you or your caller can choose any type that implements the traits With enum, uh, which is nice with enum dispatch. They can't they can only use the types that you've provided variants for um But dynamic dispatch is like static dispatch in that it allows any incoming type unlike enum dispatch Um, but it does so in a way where you don't get the monomorphization So that's sort of the slice that dynamic dispatch does The other thing that it does is dynamic dispatch can be um Can give branchless dispatch, which I don't think you can do with enum dispatch So with an enum dispatch um If you want to call a method on the inner thing You need to match on the enum discriminant before you dispatch Um, which means you have to branch in the cpu, which means you have to rely on the branch predictor Which is usually pretty good, but it's it's an indirection anyway with dynamic dispatch. There's still an indirection But it's a virtual function call, which means there's no branching You just load and jump or load and call and Usually that doesn't matter But in particularly hot loops That difference can end up making a big difference, especially if the branch predictor turns out to not Hit very often So those are the the first two that that um come to mind Yeah, you so as uh alice points out in chat too like enum dispatch is extremely strict orphan rules basically the only Types you can use when using enum dispatch are the ones that are declared in the crate That declares the function that is being called or dispatched through um So it's it's like not open to um any other implementations um Okay, I think i'm going to call it there three hours and 20 that seems about right There are a bunch more questions, but they're mostly low question votes I'll make sure to read through all of them. It's interesting to read through all of them. Um Okay, i'm also very glad that the stream worked all the way through like this is my first wayland stream on this computer from Norway and it seems like everything is just kind of worked, uh, which is amazing My internet connection is fast enough even though it's wi-fi. I'm streaming over wi-fi right now But that makes me happy Okay, I'm going to call it there Um, thank you for watching if if you're watching this video on demand then I'm guessing you haven't watched all of the questions because why would you you can just click to the ones that are interesting Um, but if you're watching live, thank you for watching through this whole thing Like there are 350 of you ish who have watched most of this and that's wild to me But hopefully you feel like I said something useful And I don't know when the next Normal stream is going to be like rust oriented stream is going to be But now that I have the setup, I know that it works and I'm starting to be settled in I'm hoping it won't take too long Thank you all for coming out and I'll see you next time. Bye folks


The study uses multi-view stereopsis, MVS, techniques to produce a dense point cloud from imagery acquired by a micro UAV of a natural coastal site in Tasmania, Australia. The resulting point cloud is accurate to 25 to 40 mm and can be used to monitor sub-decimeter terrain, change such as coastal erosion. The study compares the geo-referenced point clouds to field survey points, and finds that they are accurate enough for monitoring natural landscapes. Overall, this research demonstrates the potential of UAV-based image capture for environmental remote sensing and monitoring. This article was authored by Arco Lucier and Steve Harwin.


Another exciting think-tank Hawaii Doko Momo show here and which is probably unique in the country. Doko Momo has many chapters and as far as we know, we might be the only one who have a TV coverage, which is great. And so we're wrapping up a very exciting summer again, where our board members have done a great job in hosting several shows. So please go back if you haven't watched them and watch them. We're not saying only, but probably they sort of conclude now in a very sort of a climax-y way in an event that we're going to talk about today. And we're broadcasting live once again for our very tropical and mid-century modern metropolis of Honolulu. And you might say, well, that can be argued. Who says that? And obviously we say that, but we're biased. But now this event is sort of verifying that this is not just our opinion. This is the opinion of, we can say, the world because it's an international organization. And we have the perfect co-host today of this show, who is our president of the chapter Hawaii. And please, Graham, welcome, first of all. Thank you. Happy to be back again and again. And please, always. And of course, and please share with us what exciting event that is that we're spearheading. Sure, I'd be happy to. So, yeah, as Martin said, we were working for months now, all gearing up towards this event. And also, as Martin said, Tokomomo is this international organization, right? And there's a U.S. kind of branch to it. And we're part of that. And there's many chapters all around. And every year, national hosts a symposium. The last year was in Columbus, the year before that was in Arizona. And we won the bid to host here in Honolulu. So it's at the end of September. It's a huge honor for us to be hosting it. And it's something we're all pretty excited about and been ramping up to do. So it's a big honor, a pretty big deal. And there are events in the world. So it's even international. We have people from all over the world even visiting. So it's even bigger than already big. Yeah, totally. So like next year, there's going to be one in Tokyo, right? So it kind of puts us on par with these other metropolises, as you said, with these great mid-century modern resources. So it's a pretty big thing for Honolulu. At least we think so. Yeah, the world now things. So let's go, because you brought a couple of images here from sort of the program. And so let's walk through them and bring up the first slide here. And the event, it's going to be four days, right? Yeah. So it's September 25th through the 28th. So Thursday through or Wednesday through Saturday event. But yeah, the whole theme of the conference, which we want to kind of talk about to lead us off with is this idea of mixed modern and modernism in this multi-ethnic, you know, multicultural context. So if we go to that first slide, so to speak, the next one. Yeah, there you go. So mixed modern, modern architecture in a multicultural context. That's the theme we're going with. And that kind of helped us to tell the story of our unique brand of modernism here in Hawaii. So again, it's four days long and it's starting off on that Wednesday. So if you're wondering what the project is that you guys choose for the for the shot here, these are the Kahala apartments, which are part of the Kahala Hilton. No Mandarin. And we have one of the speakers, Ron Lindgren, coming, being a speaker on Friday. And we've been in touch and said we should probably do a couple of shows to dive deeper into the into the work of his firm, which was together with Edward Killingsworth. So again, this is a very unique project. That is also we did a human human architecture show about it because it's one that we're worried about because Doko Momo, who doesn't know means documenting and conserving. So there's a great emphasis on CEO here because Kamehameha School, who is the landowner, this is on leasehold and there are very few years left. And then we're all very worried for this to maybe not be there anymore. So again, that's sort of the proactive part of Doko Momo to keep these goodies, right? Yeah, definitely. We want to kind of celebrate them and put them in public attention so that everyone else kind of fights for them. And it's not just a small group of, you know, architects and architecture enthusiasts. All right. Speaking of which, let's move on to the next page and the first day, the kickoff as it says here. Yeah. Another very legendary project here, probably not as threatened as the previous one. No, I think that they're pretty safe. So this is going to be the whole day is at the Outrigger Canoe Club in Waikiki. Beautiful private beach club designed by Vladimir Asipov. And we're excited to be having, you know, our first day of just check in and meetings and things like that. But then that night we're having kind of like this opening kickoff reception. Sid Snyder, Asipov's former business partner who was also a guest on the show previously. He's going to come in and talk about a little bit about the architecture of the building and a little bit of, you know, Asipov's kind of legacy in Hawaii. Yeah, yeah. Now that was you having been the host, great show. I loved it. Yeah, it was an honor to have him. It gave great insight. And I would be there because he assigned me to be at the door, so I was signing in people. So talking, signing in, please encourage people to go on the website. And it's such a great event. Such things are already sold out, which is a great compliment. But there are many, there's still some spots, so please snap them, right? Yeah, definitely. We're anticipating over 200 guests so far. We've got tours every day, which we'll go into. And yeah, as you said, a lot of them are selling out. We're trying to expand them so we can accommodate more people. But it's a big event. Awesome. All right. So let's see what's all going on there. Let's go to the next slide, which is actually getting us to our hood that we live in at both at the opposite ends. But still, we're representatives. We're Waikikians, so that's one of the things that's going to be a tour, right? Yeah, definitely. So on the first day, while everyone's kind of getting in and settled, we're going to have two self-guided tours. One of them is the Gold Coast tour that we actually did a couple of years ago for Dokomomo's tour day. And then the other one is this Waikiki mid-century tour that actually we're kind of co-hosted with Surfjack Hotel and Swim Club. So it's going to be kind of in and around there, some great gems to go check out and kind of add your leisure on that first day. We encourage people to join us and become mid-century Waikikians as well. You did a couple of shows about the architect of your building at Winbauer and the Kalia. And I did a show about my building, which is an Ernest Hara building, the Waikiki Grand. So we're kind of fisheries from that era. We bookend Waikiki. Exactly. And we enjoy the easy breezy nature of them on a daily basis. Definitely. There's many more out there, so join us, sort of scavenger hunting them and hunting them down and seeing them. Okay, what else do you have, Graham? Let's go to the next one. So on Thursday, we're kind of changing venues and we're going to go up to the east-west center at the University of Hawaii, Manoa campus. We're going to be in the IMPAY designed building here on the screen. And the theme of that day is going to be East meets West. So in the beginning, in the morning, we have kind of a couple of lectures happening, two sessions. The first one is this kind of Hawaii overview, which Glenn Mason, architect and architectural historian here in town of Mason Architects, is going to be speaking first. And then I'll be talking a bit about kind of the mid-century context for Hawaii. And then the second half is about the Asian influences that came into Hawaii and kind of influenced our modernism in a unique way. We have Allison Chu, Alyssa Carson talking about Asian influences in Hawaii. Larry Minatoishi of Minatoishi Architects is going to come in and talk about kind of Japanese architecture in Hawaii. And then Luca Guido, who's going to be our fourth kind of guest and lecturer about kind of the bunch of homegrown architects that were from Hawaii, went off to school in the mainland and came back and what how they're kind of influenced by the legacy. You guys couldn't have found a better stage for that because the late IMPAY, who has just passed away after a very successful long life, he turned 101 or something like that. Yeah, incredible. And he said the architect of that beautiful piece of architecture that we also touched upon here and there and human-human architecture, mainly about his dormitory next door, the Hala Manoa. So you guys will see all that and truly enjoy that. This is a treasure. And it is up the hill where we also work, the University Hill, but it's not officially part of the University of Manoa. It's a separate independent entity in there. But needless to say, we will get up next door as well. So let's go to the next page here. This is still part of actually the East West Center complex. This is one of the dorms. But again, as we said, there will be tours of everything else above and beyond that enclave within the larger part of the university, right? Yeah, so in between going from the morning sessions of lectures to our afternoon tours, we're actually having kind of lunch and then a walking tour of campus. Because you've done a couple of shows on it actually of all the great mid-century buildings there on campus. So we're having this walking tour from East West over to the School of Architecture, where we're having a gallery exhibition on all of those buildings. And so you guys can kind of find out more about them and learn about them. And see some old photos as well as some new photos of them. So that's going to be kind of a cool thing that's going to be up, I think, from the beginning of this symposium, I think up until the rest of the year. It's going to be showing up through this semester. There's a little reception up there thanks to the Tropical Tutor Bill that we're also at here as a guest twice. And so he is very welcoming and supports the event a lot. And coming from history and his passion for tropical modernism was easy for him. So thank you Bill for that. It's great. So looking forward to that event as well. And there's a couple of our emerging talents basically being posted at the buildings and telling the visitors the stories. Exactly. Yeah.  Absolutely. So let's move on. What's next? So the tours in the afternoon, we have four tours every day. And two of them, the walking tour and the Mckiki modern walking tour. We're actually two past walking tour days, walking day tours that we've had. And they're going to be pretty great, great little enclaves of little neighborhoods for gems. And then on the bottom, we've got these two kind of very exclusive and already sold out tours that we're trying to expand possibly. One of them is going to go see the residences designed by Wimberley and Cook. So Pete Wimberley, which DeSoto has done a show on. We're going to see his house and then across the street is the Earl Ernst house, which is another just great gem of a residence here in Hawaii. And then the other spot is we're going to have three days actually. It's the first day of Asipoff tours, rotating Asipoff tours. So this day we're going to see Bachmann Hall, which is pictured. We're going to swing by Hamilton Library and see the Asipoff documents. And then we're going to go up to Little Strand House. So it's going to be quite the tour. You can see a lot of things. And it covers obviously different typologies, which is great. While the previous one was more institutional architecture, this is more personal and private and private residences. So the visitors will see how ingrained and everything was infused by that era. And it didn't exclude any kind of building type. Definitely. This is single-family homes. This is university buildings, multi-family, everything. Sounds great. But then again, while we're in the tropics and we have the sun all the time, we have tropical temperatures by the end of the summer here. People are probably going to be up for some tropical delights. And it gets us to the next page here. You take care of that too. Sure, yeah. So that night, we have a free event with three different restaurants participating in Waikiki. We've got Mohino and Sons at Surf Jack. We've got Tommy Bahamas. And we've got Leilo, their bar there at the hotel. And we're doing this cocktail club kind of a bar crawl between those three spots. They're actually creating some mid-century, modern themed cocktails for us for those different spots. So it's going to be a drawing and a lot. It's kind of a thing to cool people off at the end of the day and bring people together. Awesome. Bring back the tiki that again, unfortunately, we've addressed that frequently in the shows with the Soto that people consider us to be the epicenter of tiki as well. But in fact, we don't have much left. So we need to sort of rejuvenate that culture pretty much. So this seems a good opportunity to do that. So then that's the end of Thursday. So then comes Friday. And Friday starts in another part of town, which is more sort of official center, political epicenter in town. And then we go to the next page here. And one of the most prominent buildings right for that era on a large scale. Yeah. So we're going to be at the Hoi State Capital. And it's actually coinciding with the State Capital's 50th anniversary since it was built. So perfect timing to be having a part of our Dokmomo Symposium there. The morning session is going to be called Welcome to Paradise, where we've got a bunch of speakers again with two different sessions. The first one is Paradise Paradigms. Perfect title. Yeah, it's a good title. Soto Brown, your co-host, is going to be speaking for a little bit. Kirsten Faulkner of Historic Hoi is going to be speaking for a bit. And then the second session is going to be Designing Paradise, where we've got Don Hibbert and Ron Lindgren. Yeah, both talking about Don and Ron. They're both talking about designing Hoi's resort architecture. Yeah. And it's also the title of a book. That is the must-read book on the island at Don Road. Yeah. Ron is a participant in the book with a many projects as the Kahala Hilton, Kahala Kalani, and many other buildings in town. So that's, again, that's going to be two great panels that puts it into perspective of the zeitgeist first of all. That's kind of the first half of that and then dive deeply into the grain of it and have case studies. So that's great in everything on this sort of perfect stage on a building that sort of successfully walks on that sort of fine line that modernism wasn't able to do anymore after that on being just as literal or inspirational, interpretative as you want to be without being actual. And so what you see is you could see a volcano in there, but you don't have to. You could see chunks of homilives in there, but you don't have to. That was so great about that. Yeah. That is worth rethinking and revisiting. So let's move on to the next day here, which is another walking tour, right? So yeah, we've got two walking tours in the afternoon on Friday. One is the capital district. There's so many great buildings around the state capital. There's the Board of Water Supply by Hartwood and many others. So that's going to be a good kind of walking tour. We're actually going to be able to get into the Board of Water Supply. I've never been inside. People are going to be able to go across that kind of famous bridge over the roadway there. That's a pretty cool tour looking forward to that. And then also one, starting from the state capital, walking up to the Queen Emma Gardens, the Yamasaki building, there at the end with those three towers. And kind of in between there, there's so many other great gems and resources of great mid-century architecture. And after that successful day of walking, again, party time, it's going to be at one other legendary icon that is a good example that the CEO Indoko Momo has been working because that project was initially planned to be demolished by its new owner, Heart Use Corporation, and based upon sort of a group of three, but leading to the Dokomomo Board of people here, it was saved. And so let's watch that one and you tell us more what the event in and around it is. Next picture, please. So yeah, so after the day of two walking tours and two bus tours, we're going to have our wrap-up party at the IBM building. Iconic IBM building right there in Alamwana Boulevard, designed by Asapov. It's going to be a great event and it's kind of a great way to kind of wrap up the two days or three days at that point of lectures and tours and everything. Very exciting. And for the ones who haven't had enough yet, right, there's a Saturday. Let's hop onto that one, so let's get to the next picture here. So because there's so many great resources in Honolulu, Saturday is just dedicated to tours and Holo-Holo is the theme, getting around and seeing everything. So actually, we could just dive right into them on the next page. We've got four tours, two in the morning, two in the afternoon. The two in the morning, we've got one that's visiting a bunch of mid-century churches and sacred sites. One that's going to be visiting the Kahala Hilton, Kahala Hotel, as well as the Sharlow House, and the Goodsill House. We've kind of framed it as Kahala Modern. That tour, one, that's going to be visiting Valley of the Temples and a bunch of other kind of memorials. Back in the day, they were designed, even really included as one of the architects. And then the Asapov Tour in the afternoon is also going to visit the Goodsill House, the Little Shrine House, and Bakken, or other things, too. And we urge everyone to go again online, go on the website, and you guys, maybe you want to mention the ones involved and all the, well, everyone was involved, but also the marketing material and all the stuff is really awesome. And so there's great sort of online PDF tour guides that one can print out or have on your device and take with you both of tours they're given. So, obviously, there will be more by the tour leaders, but they're also self-guided tours, right? That's right, yeah. We've got a lot of kind of tour resources to see the history of some of these buildings. And a lot of them are just within walking distance. Urban Honolulu. So it's really just sort of almost appetizers like poo-poo, right? Or hopefully getting more and more hungry and then venturing out as we do all the time. I know whenever we bump into each other then we say, hey, we saw this awesome thing that we haven't seen before and we ran into this person here who's an eyewitness. So it's a really interesting ongoing process as well as, again, having to be proactive. We will have probably one of our doko photos is, again, a sad one because talking Pete Wimberley his varsity building that we've been doing a show about probably as it looks like won't be able to be saved. So this is our last chance to document it without being able to conserve it, which is really sad. Reminds me of when people get old and then all they do is go to each other's funeral parties and they never want a doko moment to be that way. So for years I've been advocating to be more proactive and maybe have each and every one of us adopt the building. Like you adopt the beach to clean up, you adopt the building and then you first and foremost talk about and then you educate its owner and then once you educated them they're probably more likely to first of all appreciate and then maybe don't sort of become a victim of a temptation of novelty so easy as usually when people are not informed. That's something that we constantly talk about and again thanks for being the president for us this year it's such an important milestone of our pretty new chapter right I think we're five years so this is a huge success to have such an important event so soon after our birth. And I want to bring up one more slide actually because you just talked about a couple of things we can go to the next one talk about P. Wimberley and the varsity building so on Saturday night there's going to be an exhibition kind of opening at Fishcake on Wimberley's kind of legacy his residential work his hospitality work and a bunch of other projects and that's going to be up just only two weeks but it'll be kind of a great thing open to the public to go see and check out there's a little plug for that maybe sneaky and extend some invitations to some owners of Pete's buildings even going back to Kamehameha school who owned the varsity building and saying you know just so you know and with whatever he do now he do with knowing can't say oh I didn't know because that's too easy excuse right so yeah I mean that's just excellent and here I was when I was preparing one of the next shows with the Soto which is about skins which is almost challenging but we believe maybe one of the most relevant we always wanted to do and it's about the first the second and the third skin and also the relationship of a dress code and a dress code and Pete is usually wearing shorts as if the camera could look down on us we insist to do that no matter of where we are and so here he wears these sort of funny pants they're not shorts I don't know for what reason but again usually he did and his architecture here is very sort of textual right so contextual according to filtering the light and the sun so it's both at the same time so that's definitely something that we continue to you know continue to teach us you know from these let us be taught by these masters definitely and I know you've always been very inspired by that throughout your education which we had the privilege to be part of when you were still in school not a long ago so I think that's a great you sort of pass on that passion keep the torch going awesome yeah so we can phase out and bring up the sort of the sunset and yeah sort of cover here again again these are four days that we hope to see everyone out there for the different events the hype of tropical modernism here that you know us living here has become sort of a secret treasure and but out there in the world it's been celebrated more than we actually are aware of that there's a whole monocle magazine you know city guides that is highly dwelling upon that and doing that there's a wallpaper and unfortunately they're not available on the island it's as bad as that hopefully the world coming to us now makes us a lot more aware of what we have there's anything that the symposium can do I believe that's it yeah well in September it's going to be modernism month and so there's a whole bunch of events not just the symposium we're actually talking tomorrow night at the Hawaii State Art Museum and then something coming up this first Friday as well a big kind of modernism fashion show and things like that so this is I think people are waking up to it and yeah we're in a good spot alrighty well thank you so much for having beer having beer as well along the lines there was a Freudian slip so thanks Graham definitely see you all at the symposium and obviously see you for new shows in the future both Okonomo and Human-Humane architecture but again first and foremost the symposium and until then please stay tropically modern and more downly tropical bye-bye
