Hi, can everyone hear me? Great. My name is Vinay Kirti and I'm going to talk... Well, I'm going to talk about MicroPython. And I'm going to talk about a project I did for myself. I call it Shelfie. And long story short, I have a bookshelf and it runs on Python. There are two kinds of reactions I get whenever I tell people this. Usually, they say, what do you mean your bookshelf runs Python? They ask if I have way too much time, whether my company is paying me for doing my own personal work or if I'm workaholic. I am, but that's a different point. Some of them say, oh, and then they go by their own way.  I own over 1,000 books. Logistically speaking, this is a very big problem for me. It's really hard to keep count. Once I crossed 250, I knew that I had a problem, a problem that was not really easy to solve. And it doesn't help that I'm not really that organized. People have told me several things. They said, could you not use physical notebooks to track what books you have? I don't want to carry them around. They said, don't you have spreadsheets? And I said, boo, I don't want to use Excel and Google Sheets on the phone is a nightmare. Then there is Goodreads. Honestly, I have a few choice words I would like to say to Amazon about the Goodreads API. It's really horrible. There is library thing, which is really good, but you have to pay once you hit the 250 books limit. I've tried them all. And I also own a lot of tech. I own several Raspberry Pi's, several of these chips, which I'll be talking about, a lot of LEDs, and more Raspberry Pi's. I don't know what to do with them. I keep ordering a lot of electronics. I have a hoarding problem. So I ended up with a slightly over-engineered problem. Not exactly the kind you would find at someone's house, but then there is this. My bookshelf runs this entire stack. So what did I do? Very simple terms. Let me show you. Oh, one moment. This is my bookshelf. When I ask it for a book, it tells me where the book is. How? This way. It points a book or a series of books, and it tells me where my books are. How did I do this? Well, it was one part easy and two parts insane. Where's my mouse again? Yeah. Micro-Python. If you listen to Jake Wanderplatz's keynote, he said, this is the era of wasm on Python. I have another point to make. This is the era of Python on embedded devices. Until now, if you wanted to program on a tiny chip, you have to use C. C, I have a friend who likes to say C is the only real programming language. I say boo-hoo, where Python is to us. I want to code Python even on a tiny, I want to code Python on my washing machine. So what is Micro-Python? Micro-Python is Python for microcontrollers. Seriously, you can code Python on a very tiny chip. How tiny? It's so tiny that I can carry two of them with me everywhere I go. I never leave home without my Micro-Python chips. And the subset of Micro-Python that runs includes most of the C-Python libraries. It is syntactically similar. There's a little more electronics knowledge that you would need. So how do you get started? You buy one of these chips. All the links will be available later to you. You flash the Micro-Python firmware on them. And what do you do? What is this thing I've noticed about people who own Raspberry Pi? A lot of developers own a Raspberry Pi and you ask them what are they doing with it? It's probably gathering dust on their shelves. Similarly with Micro-Python, a lot of people buy the Micro-Python boards and they don't really use them for anything. They use them once or twice. And then they're like, huh, this was a fun side project. How do I productionize this? They have no clue. This is how they productionize the entire thing. Step one, the NodeMCU. The NodeMCU is the easiest Micro-Python board you can get anywhere in the world. You can go to Aliexpress or you can go to Amazon and buy them. They cost less than four euros. You can get them for anywhere from 140 rupees to 500 rupees depending upon your luck. It's sale. The chip has many pins which you can use. If you're coded on the Raspberry Pi, you've heard of GPIO pins. The GPIO pins are the pins which you can control. You can do a lot with these pins and, well, I'll show you what I do. Then the NodeMCU. This is the spec. ESP8266 is a Wi-Fi socket on chip. What it does is it basically gives you something very similar to an Arduino with Wi-Fi inbuilt into it. It runs Lua out of the box. Lua is a very nice scripting language which is mostly familiar to people who have been hacking around Civilization 6. You can install Micro-Python for the last few minutes. It supports the 2GHz Wi-Fi band. It has 128KB of RAM and 4MB of ROM. Trust me, that makes a huge difference when you're coding. It uses a USB interface. The biggest problem with coding on embedded devices is learning to deal with the serial port. But this board solves the problem for you. It uses the USB port. Like I said, it's extremely cheap. How long does it take to actually run Micro-Python or install Micro-Python? It doesn't take very long. You would think it would take a few minutes. It's lesser than that at 60 seconds. It's so easy to install Micro-Python that all you need to do is create a virtual environment, pip install ESP tool, then source your virtual environment, use the ESP tool command to format your Micro-Python board, flash the Micro-Python firmware onto it using a very simple command and within a few seconds you have the Micro-Python REPL and it's the REPL we all know and love, the same Python REPL. It is syntactically similar to Python 3, thankfully Python 3.4 but it does not have F-strings, it does not have the Walrus operator and it does not have many other things but we can live with it. It is really, really easy to use and as you're even watching this GIF that's flashing one of the boards right now. Alright, I'm not going to wait for this entire GIF to finish. Now, until now you've been seeing the terminal, you've been using a terminal to get into Micro-Python but what if you don't want to do that? I'm a Node.js guy, I don't like terminals, I like browsers, I live in JavaScript.  I'm fine with that. I'll give you the web REPL. You can open up your browser, access Micro-Python on it almost very similar to the Jupyter terminal and it is extremely easy because the board runs a Wi-Fi access point so how do you activate it? Again, fairly simple. You just import a module called web REPL underscore setup and it enables the entire thing. It asks you for password and it is not really secure since it shows you what my password is right on the screen. So once you're done with that, you get this screen. In your browser, you get a web page where you can actually start using the Micro-Python REPL or you can upload and download files directly into it but honestly speaking, this is not deployment friendly. Instead, I would rather use a CLI tool. I would use a CLI tool which would push files into my Micro-Python boards. Fairly easy to do. What is a Micro-Python program? It's not as simple as having a simple app.py and running it. No, it's very similar to how Arduino does it. You have a boot.py.  You can pass it a config. You have an optional file which you don't need to worry about and then the main.py. If you have ever used Arduino before, the main.py runs on a loop. So whatever you put on it, usually you have a while-true loop sitting inside it and to save power, you also have options where you can put the node MCU onto a sleep mode. So, what is Shelfie? Shelfie is me taking three of these boards, five Raspberry Pies and putting them on my bookshelf. I have snakes on my bookshelf. The hardware I need is PSP8266 boards, the node MCU, the Raspberry Pi 3+, four Raspberry Pi 0s, a cluster hat and an LED strip. The way my application works is fairly simple. You have a Flask API. You have a Postgres database. You have a Postgres database. You have something called mosquito MQTT. I will explain more about that later. Three node MCUs which are listening for commands. So, what is MQTT? MQTT is a PubSub model. If you ever use RabbitMQ, fairly similar, but it's much more lightweight. It is ideal for IoT. It was made in 1999 and the Eclipse Foundation released something called Eclipse Mosquito which is one of the best MQTT servers out there. And it is fairly easy to use. Documentation is available everywhere. So, what does my bookshelf really do? What it does is I have a queue. I write to a topic. I give it a position and inside, it reacts. Inside my MicroPython chip, it reacts. That's all it does. It's fairly simple. But the LED strips now, what are these LED strips? The WS2812B strips are addressable strips. You can pass it an integer and you can say I want to light this place up with this RGB value. You can individually connect each and every one of the LED points. You'll see what I've done fairly soon enough. So, I use Flask for this. Why Flask? Flask is lightweight and it has modules for everything. My entire database is just one table. It's a very, very simple table. It has a list of books and it knows where every book is. I have Flask admin setup so that I have a UI. I don't need to write CSS or HTML. I have a UI setup already for me. This is like Django admin. Much more lightweight. And I can also enter books into it. Now, if you see this field slots has a value of 1 is to 6.5. What that means is if you have a position called m is to n.x, it means that my book sits at LED number m and goes to LED number n and it is at row number x. I'll explain soon enough. The idea behind my entire project is this. I am not organized. But I want my bookshelf to be organized for me. I want to be able to take a book from anywhere in my bookshelf and ask my bookshelf where I want to put it back. I don't want to bother about remembering where my book was. I don't need to put all my books in one spot. I can just say I can just tell my bookshelf that I put it at this location and it will remember. It enables my lack of organization, so to speak. So, what are the phases? The phases were fairly simple again. I am not playing a YouTube video but so that was stage one. I just made something blink. That made me really happy. But then I instantly ran into problems. I instantly ran into problems. I have no idea what the capacitor is. I am not an electronics student. I don't know why you would use one in a circuit like this. So instantly I ran into this problem. My lady would light up and partially it would stop. It would stop randomly at some place. Turns out I needed a capacitor for this. I have no clue. Then I made a little more progress. I had better control. The control I am talking about is this sort. So I have a progress bar. Every time something is happening around my house on my desktop this thing has a progress bar. I set it up. That worked really fine. I solved all my voltage problems. I solved all the other problems that I had. Fairly simple. But soon I had another problem. How do I start indexing? I have to manually count things. I have to count my books. How do I count them? This is how I counted them. I highlight every 10th LED and I have an easy way of counting things. I can just say this is at 10, 20, 30 and I can say it is at LED number 30. Fairly simple. And then the first video I showed you earlier. Oh I am not audible. Sorry. Maybe I bend this. Now? Still closer? Oh wow. Okay. Sorry. So the first video I showed you. I will tell you. I will explain what happened in that video. So my bookshelf database knows that these books are here. I am asking for this box set. This box set. And once it knows that, it highlights it. It tells me it is here. But how am I asking my bookshelf this? Well, sort of boring. I am using curl. I have no interface. I am using curl and I am sending a request. I am giving it the title of a book and it says okay fine. This is where your book is.  They are like really? Are you curling for books? Every time you need your book, you are going to open a terminal and you can't just remember where your books are. Well, from the beginning I have been saying something. I have been saying I wanted to ask my bookshelf where my books are. Not curl where my books are. So, I hooked it up with a voice server. How? Alexa. My idea was fairly simple. I wanted to ask Alexa where my books were. I wanted Alexa to show me where my books were. Whether that would be possible is a totally different thing. So, Flask Ask is a very nice module for working with Alexa. So, the final missing part of my architecture was an Alexa skill. I wanted to say Alexa. Ask my bookshelf where X book is and it would say how? I know where that is. All code samples are online on GitHub so you don't need to worry about any of this. You don't need to take photos or anything. So, the thing about Alexa is you have to configure your skill online on the Alexa page on Amazon developer and you have to configure every phrase that you are going to enter. And the main part of this is you have to ask it to give you the raw query string. Once you do that, you are able to access the raw query string in your app. So, in your Flask view, it comes as the first argument. It comes as the first named argument. And what that does is fairly simple. How do I hopefully? Alexa. Ask my bookshelf to show me where did I keep my books by Neil Gaiman. One Neil Gaiman collection coming right up. I'll show you this again. Alexa. Ask my bookshelf to show me where did I keep my books by Neil Gaiman. The phrase which I entered was syntactically any structure in the Alexa skill. Coming right up. The Alexa skill sits on my Raspberry Pi. It knows where my book is and it highlights where my books are. I don't need it. That's step one. Step two, I had different problems. My bookshelf didn't end there. Alexa, ask my bookshelf to show me where are my Hemingway books. How do I structure the other bookshelves? I found books by Hemingway. Let me show you. I have bookshelves which are even structured vertically. How do I show that? Fairly simple. And am I sure that it is exactly showing me the right book until then? Look at the LEDs that it has highlighted. It is highlighted from position X to position Y where these books specifically are. Then, how do I highlight a single book? Sometimes I want to ask it just for one single book. Alexa, ask my bookshelf to find a Christmas Carol. Your copy of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol. It's right here. Lights up. It has the accuracy of one LED which is specifically, well I have to index my books and say my book is X LED's thick. Sometimes that helps. It's a little hard. That part is actually a little annoying. But then, the Alexa API allows you to do so much more. Since this is a flashcap, I can tie it up with my same Postgres database. And because of that, all I need to do if I had to ask for a specific book and get more data out of it, I could even channel in additional behaviour for a specific book. Suppose you have a book for which you want a specific response. You want to add an easter egg. You want to add a joke. Fairly simple. All you have to do is code it. Alexa, ask my bookshelf where are my Harry Potter books? Your Harry Potter collection?  Say it with me. Mischief managed. There's something interesting in this problem. I have books behind books. How do I index? How do I find them? I control the colour of the LEDs. The LEDs are pink when it is the first row. They are orange for the third row. They are blue for the second row. And I think they are white for the fourth row. So I can index books no matter where they are. Whether they are horizontally sleeping. Whether I place them vertically. I can even index books which are at an angle. I can say they start at this point and at that point. So what does this show us? This entire application has deployment scripts. It has scripts for pushing code into micro-python chips. It has Unicorn script. Unicorn based engine configurations. So that this is load balanced. So even if all of you started connecting to my Alexa skill right now and try to spam or DDoS my bookshelf. It would be able to take it. I turned off my skill before I came here by the way. Don't try it. So and this is the thing. When you get started with micro-python the possibilities are endless. You have so many things you can do but it ends up such that you have very little examples of anything beyond a simple blinking LED or some weather stations or a nice hat or some shirt. They are all amazing projects. But what if you wanted to push micro-python into production? What if you wanted to take a micro-python board and actually have a start up around the entire thing? How would you do that? Partially this is how. I'm not saying this is completely production grade. But I have a pipeline. I have documentation. It helps because you will not remember what code you wrote 6 months later. The first person you document for is yourself. So at the end what do I want to do later? I want to build a web UI. Without writing an inch of JavaScript. I want to write a telegram bot much easier than Alexa. And I want metrics. I want to say Alexa, show me all the books I have not read in the last 6 months. Show me all the books I have purchased and I've never read. I want it to be able to do all of this. And I want connected dialogue flow for Alexa. I want to be able to have constructed dialogue so that I can say Alexa do I have this book? It says no. I want to order it for you from Amazon. I want to say not right now but order it when the price has dropped. That's what I want. Eventually I'll get there. Eventually I'll get to a point where Alexa tells me that hey that book which is on your wish list is actually on sale and you don't seem to have it. Do you want me to order one copy for you? I say yes and it orders. And finally I want to use Spacey for the NLP part. There are 2-3 modules which I've considered and Spacey seems the easiest to use. So who am I? I've said my introduction for last. My name is Vinay Kirti. I'm a mechanical engineer. I'm not a developer. I'm not a software developer. I learned programming on my own and I work at Visa Incorporated. I'm a senior software engineer there. I work on Python, a little bit of Node.js and a little bit of HTML. I am Stone Chariteer everywhere online. You can find me on any website and my website is stonechariteer.com The entire source code for Shelfie is at github.com slash bookshelfie. That's an organization. So there are 4 projects under it. You can find the entire source code there and if you have any questions related to it please raise an issue. These are links for everything on this page. So you don't really need to take a photo of this because the entire site is online. You can just go to bookshelfie.github.io and these slides are online. Alright? Thank you so much. Do we have time for questions? 2 minutes. I need water. Excuse me. You mentioned MQTT, right? Yeah. What do you use MQTT for? MQTT is a message queue. I was running out of time so I skipped over that part. MQTT is a message queue so I have 4 topics. Each of the Node MCU chips subscribes to a topic. So I have a shelf A, shelf B, shelf C. All 3 of those subscribes, all the shelves subscribe to those topics. I actually did show you a slide there where MQTT was working. Is it wireless? Yes, it is wireless. All of this is wireless. The only wires there are the wires which I soldered. Very poorly. I burnt my hand the first time I soldered by the way. It's a really nice project and interesting one. Being an electronics background I found out what I can do with all the different electronics that are there. My question is is it possible to code MicroPython directly into an edge board like TX2 or Raspberry Pi? You don't need MicroPython for the Raspberry Pi. If you are going to write anything directly into the Raspberry Pi, you will have to write an OS. So you don't need that. Just use Raspbian and use normal Python. Please stay away from MicroPython and Raspberry Pi because MicroPython is for when you actually have to worry about one of the problems I had during this entire project was I would import a library that I wrote and it would say malloc error. I have never heard of a memory allocation error in Python. I am like what on earth is this? So you understand what I mean. MicroPython is for chips where you have very little memory and very little is this thing. For tiny footprint. So I am trying to get into MicroPython source development. So you can compile MicroPython for any laptop that you have and run it on your laptop just to test it out. But I would recommend getting a board. You can order one. It's very very cheap. Thank you. Anymore? Catch me later. I will be in the hall. Thank you so much.


Here are some examples of what we would consider good SPF records. So for example, V equals SPF1 include SPF.protection.outlook.com-all. That's the simplest SPF record that you could have if you're on Office 365. And a lot of people when they're on Office 365, that gets set up just as part of them moving to an Office 365 tenant. You can see we've included a couple of more complicated ones here where we've got includes that not only include Office 365, but also include other things like constant contact and SMTP to go. So these are examples of different ways to add those includes.


What's going on, everyone? Sam here with late sports cards, ripping 23 tops, chrome baseball, jumbo, HDA, eight box, full case break, number 15 pick your team style, read off the list for names of our teams. Got AJF with the Royals, Alexandros Reyes, Brett W. Brave, CJL with Phillies, Dave A, Guardians, David N with the Yankees. Thank you, Hallie.

So good luck, everybody. Let's do it. Thank you, Spencer. Thank you. Thank you, Zach. Appreciate that, man. Sending a crown peach out this way. Oh, man. Oh, good Lord. Good Lord. I don't know if I can do crown peach anymore, man. I really don't. I think we have, I think me and my girlfriend bought a bottle of crown peach somewhere, and we still have the bag that it comes in. I'm pretty sure we use it for something in our house, too. I don't even know what it is, but yeah. I don't know. Not the biggest crown peach guy in the world, but I appreciate the thoughtfulness there for sure. All right. Here we go. Probably green rookie. That was actually much easier. Bo Naylor Rookie at Prism of Royce Lewis and Mookie Betts Refractor for the Dodgers. That is Dio Hall, a J-Ram, and Goldy Refractor. That's going out to the, uh, the old Cardinals, Paul Goldschmidt, Domus, Mookie, Moreno, Vargas, Cavalli, George Springer, Eloy Prism, and a Refractor, Mackenzie Gore, an Al Albuquerque signed card. I hope so. Dude, I kid you not, Spencer. My for you page, ever since Jordan Walker, my for you page on TikTok, ever since I followed the real Zach Short, is like, I have a lot of like, Tigers fans on my, uh, for you page. Very strange. Royce Lewis, Soto, Gabriel Moreno, Refractor Rookie, that is going to the Diamondbacks. I kind of like there's not a lot of glare in this, it's just kind of nice now. I like where the line is. If you go like this way. More like this. Oh yeah, I see what you're saying. Josh Young, Face Auto, Bryce Johnson, that's going to the Giants, Crats on that Giants, and Zigiel Duran Refractor.  I got hit with the injury bug there, Von Grissom, there's an Alvy, here downs, Jay Smoove, Josh Schmidt, there's another Alvarez, Rookie Prism, Corbin Carroll, Grats D-Bax, and Hoppy Bias, uh, it's Logan O'Hoppy, Nolan Gorman, uh, Jonathan Aranda is going to be your base auto that's going out to the Rays, and Hunter Green. So I saw the funniest comment on TikTok, it was like, like, there's Christopher Morrell, of course there's like, between you and your friend group, James Outman. There's like a athlete that's like a meme for no reason, just between like you and your friends, there's Luis Castillo, and Trace Ernest. One of the top comments was, Sean Mike is coming soon, oh boy. One of the top comments was a, uh, was about Michael Porter Jr, that's Volpe, and they, like, his Porter, Salvi Perez at 399, Ramacunia Prism, and a Refractor of Miguel Vargas. Michael Porter Jr's like big thing is he doesn't pass the ball. Right. So they, like, every, whenever I call Michael Porter, I'll call Michael, never swing the rock, Porter Jr. Good night. Later. Later. Later, bye. Later, bye.  So dying. I thought that was the funniest thing. Uh, Conor Henderson Rookie, that is LeMayhew, there's Purple Mini Diamonds, Jeremy Pena at 299, for the, uh, Astros. What's this one? Sean Mike? Sean Mike? We have a Mike right there. Corbin Care. Brett Beatty Rookie, Herrera Josh Young Rookie, Abasiel Garcia, Hujanami, here's Tiosca Hernandez, Prism, Josh Bell, Marlins Legend, Josh Bell. Now, Kodai Senga, Michael Grove, Trouty, Riley Greene, got a Mini Diamonds Auto, Graham Ashcraft, for 299. Go into the Reds. Nice one there. And JJ Blodet. What's up, Vaughn? Thank you, Vaughn. I know it is pretty cool having the same birthday as, uh, as Cameron Payne. Also, who else is a funny guy? Yandy Diaz, that's a new one, that's kind of cool. I didn't know that until this year. But the, the classic ones I share are Roger Federer, uh, Anthony Rizzo, and like that's like, those are like the top athletes I share my birthday with. There's like nobody else after that. It's a steep, it's a steep, real, Roger Federer, really? Steamer.   Yeah. I guess that's the only one that's going to be, if you get, like, uh, Bechet, Jose Ramirez, if you get, like, a big sack of base that you see in the top load, odds are I just have to put it there, so you just ask me if I do that too. It's a little odd, still getting used to it, everybody. It's a little awkward from here. Kodaisenga Rookie, it's actually easier going right. Casus Rookie, uh, insert for the Red Sox, Oscar Gonzalez, Prism, and Nate Eaton, refractor Rookie for the Royals. Yeah, Jared Stidham, that's another one, Rader and Patriot legend, Jared Stidham. Auburn, actual Auburn legend, Jared Stidham. Jose Ramirez, Drew Waters, refractor Rookie Otto to 499, that's going out to the Royals. And Kodaisenga, there you go, Max, nice one there. I'll be breaking NT tomorrow night, Shane. And I'll be here tonight and tomorrow night. I'll be off again for a day. And then back on Friday morning. You know me. I'll be out in Botland. Hunter Green, Alec Minoa, Jack Peterson, refractor. What's up, Shane? Shane, look. Jobsman, Jordan Walker, Rookie. Adley Rushman, Titans, and Matthew Libertor, Prism, or not Prism, refractor Rookie for the Cardinals. Mr. Bogotts, Stowers, Cabrera, Austin Riley, Blue Ray Wave, Rookie Otto, Joey Weimer, nice one there for the Brew Crew. Grats on that. Two 150, nice one. Milwaukee, Joey Weimer, and a Kevin Gaussman. See if we have any more Spateronis came in. Oh, a lot of Spateronis. Two more. Thank you, Jay, with the two in the mixer. Thank you there, Charles, Justin S with the spot, 10 box.  Travis with a personal Chris S with a spot in 10 box. Brandon A with the Astros, he's over at gaming. He's over at gaming. He's over at gaming. My friend fumbled the bag. I'm Weimer's sister.  Yeah, Joey Weimer's kind of a stud here, too. James Altman. This card is far out, man. God, I miss that so much. Nick Castellanos and Michael Grover for refractor Rookie. Missed that. So, like, more than you know how much I miss.  Logan O'Hoppe. Purple Minidiamonds, Yachty to 2.99. Jonathan Aranda, Prism. And refractor MJ Melendez. I thought about it, too. I like, there is no situation where I don't win, because either I get the satisfaction of you being annoyed, or you pretend to like my shtick, and I have the satisfaction of you liking it. I've never. It's a win-win. It's a win-win, honestly. It's just an absolute W. Absolute W. So, don't flatter yourself. Bode Nailer. Oh, down goes Hasea. Trishon Kossus. That is an Austin Riley. Tia Lava to 1.99 for the Raves. God, Scherzer and Cal Raleigh. Big dumper. Dumper. Think of their Joseph, picking up a fast break spot. Thank you, Mr. Joseph. Uh, let's do this. This. Maybe one day. Maybe one day. All right, let's keep it moving. Two more to go. Should have one more auto, I think. Robbie Witt, Xander, Jayrod on the prism, and Marcus Strowman. Vaughn Grissom. There's an Alvy. Morale Rookie. The Cubs, Langlears, Gunner Rookie as well. Christopher Morale Rookie. Josh Smith. Jay Smooth. Nice one there for the Rangers. Josh Smith and Cal Stevenson. Hey, thank you, Puka. Appreciate you, buddy. On to the next one. On to the next one. What's up, Brian? How you doing, my friend? Good to see you, as always. Brian F. Rupuka. There's a Brett Beatty on the prism, Rookie. Thanks, Giovanni. And Garrett Mitchell. Appreciate that, my man. Masataka Yoshida. Here's in two weeks. Well, happy early birthday, Brian. Yeah, happy birthday. Thank you, man. That is it. I know. Nolan Gorman, honestly, dude. Shay Langlears, Harper, and Gabriel Moreno refractor, Rookie. Hello, Ken. Thank you, my friend. Appreciate you, buddy. It's a god to your thumbnail today, by the way, everybody. It's me, Punching Sean. Is he coming in? Does he feel so good? Jumping me. This is Nolan Gorman, Prism, Rookie. The way they're going to get away with that. Honestly. Brett Beatty on the refractor, Rookie. Nice one there. Oh, he turned the big 5-0. Same with Sean, Brian. Who does? Brian.  I do, too, Sunday. Sunday, I turned the big 50. Nolan Gorman. 50. Michael Stefanik, Rookie Otto for the Angels. And a Corbin Carroll refractor. Thank you. Thank you, Shane. Yeah, Sean will be turning the big 3, actually. Yeah. Baby. Either Lonzo. J-Rod, Jordan, and Jordan Walker refractor. Oh, I didn't really do anything. I mean, it's my birthday today, so I'm working. But me and Heather just got back from New Orleans. So we kind of did that a little bit. Abby Rochman. My birthday gift was going to the aquarium there. It was awesome. Nice. Thanks, Brian. Appreciate it. Ronald Acuna prism. Del Vargas. My friend burned my McLovin fake ID. Now I got rid of my fake ID on my 21st. I still got mine. I still have one. I got two of them.

And when I asked him why I did that, he goes, I don't know. I thought it'd be funny. And then there's another one. My favorite one of all time is during an interview when he signed with the Diamondbacks. They were like, like, Zach, what are you most like looking forward to for your future?

Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside to Him. First things first is to take the little bag that I got at Michael's. I mean I don't even really know what people are supposed to use this for. Put gifts in. Is it like a gift bag? I don't know. But for four bucks I thought it would make a really cute pillow or at least part of a pillow. So you need to cut away the front from the back. The front that has all the Christmasy stuff is going to be one pillow, one side of the pillow, and the plain side we are going to embellish for the other side of the pillow. So just cut away all the stitching that they have holding this back together. Try and cut close to the stitching so that you can preserve as much of this fabric as possible. All right now we've got that and I'm going to take it over to the iron and press out this crease so that we can get a good even measurement. Okay I pressed it out pretty good I think. All right next up we're going to take our really large ruler and again just kind of preserving as much of this fabric as possible and I'm using this line here as sort of my guide to make it straight since I don't technically have a straight edge. And then take your rotary cutter and cut this away. Perfect and now from here you can use that cut edge as your straight green if you want to call it that. If you want this to be like centered see how the red is not totally centered you could definitely cut that away. I think I'm going to leave it. The whole thing's kind of a little bit wonky so I think it just kind of adds to the homemade sort of nature of it. Okay so once we've got these cut away we need to have a rough measurement of them. This one looks to be one two three four five six seven eight nine inches by nine by fourteen and a half and so when we go to embellish this side we will know what to uh what size to cut out our embellishment. Okay from here I'm going to cut little snips to mark our halfway points and that's just going to help us center it on the fabric. One two three four and a half. Okay great now we're going to get our fabric we're going to start with the non-christmasy side. I have this great flannel from Joanne and we are going to cut a square the size the exact size of our pillow but first we have to kind of prep this fabric it is going to want to shrink once steam is applied to it so to prevent that from happening and then making your pillow too small we're going to do this ahead of time. All right so here's my pillow I got this insert from Goodwill so Goodwill sells pillows for like five dollars the outsides are hideous but the insides are sometimes down feathers goose feathers and they can be really really nice and very expensive so I always just buy them then chunk the outsides and keep the inserts. Normally on this tag it'll tell you how large like what size the pillow is this one isn't this tag does not tell me so let's just do a quick measurement from seam to seam looks like we're going to have a 21 inch square pillowcase so when making a 21 inch pillowcase I like to cut the pillowcase exactly 21 inches that way whenever you have your half inch seam allowances all the way around it makes for a nice snug pillow so I'm going to cut this larger than 21 by 21 at the moment all right let me go prep this all right I'm back now we need to make a 21 inch square so I'm going to fold this in half both ways like so just trying to make quicker work of this all right so here we've got this and so now since I have it in quarters I'm just going to cut away um 11 inches instead of having to kind of mangle um that whole big swath of fabric saved me some trouble in the end you can either um surge your edges together at the end I'm just going to pink them really quickly it is going to make them a little bit smaller but again I think the tighter the pillow the more nice and expensive it looks anyways and if you're wondering this is my Kai 5045 rotary cutter with the pinking blade it's awesome as you can tell just whipping through these four layers of flannel like so all right perfect now to just prevent some of that from fraying all right and now we can go ahead and snip our centers one there and one there all right now let's open this up all right and what you should have now is a nice big square um with all your centers cut snipped like so and then you take your fabric and taking the plain side not the one with the Christmas decorations on it but taking the plain side and kind of centering it up so we've got one center line here and another there so that goes right about here and then this one lines up right about here and then this center mark needs to be moved up some like so and again kind of just eyeballing it I mean you can get out a ruler if you wanted and then if you're a quilter and you're wondering why is she just applicating this you could obviously cut strips like this and then like this and piece them together like you would a quilt but since I have the fabric this is just kind of easier and faster I also think that the quilted look is definitely like a look like it's a country type of vibe and that's not really what I'm going for my Christmas decorations I want it to be a little bit more modern a little more clean so I like it this way all right so I'm going to pin all the way around take it over to my sewing machine do a zigzag stitch all the way around and for my zigzag stitch I'm getting the stitch length and width really big um I think that adds like a really cute element to what we've got going on here so I'm going to go do that and then I'll come back and show you what it looks like um I'm also going to do the other side the one that's going to have the Christmas decoration I'm doing it the exact same way that I've done this one so um you're not really missing much so when I come back I'm going to have two sides of a pillow see that we've got our two pillow sides um we've got the Christmas side and we've got the full side so I've got my cricket design hello sweater weather super cute both of the designs that I used for the full side of my pillows were just images that were in design space I didn't actually make these myself somebody else did and they're really cute so made it super easy to just go in design space and use them I didn't have to do any design work at all so if you're one of those people that's like I'm not great at graphic design that's okay they have a lot of really cute images in there that you can use just as they are so let me get all of this weeded and pressed onto the fabric I'm using my cricket heat press so it'll make really quick work of it so if you go to cricket.com there's like a heat setting guide where you can put in the material that you're using the material that you are adhering it to and it'll tell you how long and at what temperature to do on your heat press and then it'll also tell you what kind of removal process we have for the um for the like top layer this one happens to have a warm removal so you have to do it when it's not piping hot but when it's still warm some of the other vinyls have a like completely cool so you have to wait until it's cooled off completely but kind of once you get this going you should be able to remove it gently but easily and I will press it for a few seconds from the back side just to make sure it's nice and set in okay tada all done super cute I'm obsessed while this cools because this metallic is a little hot I'm going to go ahead and start installing the zipper so I'm going to do a zipper closure on our pillow on the bottom and I had a zipper right here it doesn't quite run the length of the pillow but that's okay it doesn't have to so long as you can fit your pillow form into it I think that you'll be fine this is not even an invisible zipper this is just your regular old joe schmoe zipper and so I need to remember how to install a regular joe schmoe zipper I'm used to doing invisible ones obviously okay so this needs to go like this so we've got it like that okay good sometimes sometimes okay let's get this on there and then I'll pin it take it to the sewing machine and attach this side and then attach the other side and I'll really just have like one flat piece at that point just make sure that you're attaching your zippers to the right side and to the bottom of both of the of the square so the other one will go on like this that way when you're I mean it really only matters when you go to flip your pillow you just simply have to do a rotation not a rotation and a flip you know what I mean okay let's get this zipper in all right so this is what you've got after you've installed your zipper you should have something that looks like this I am going to go to the iron and just kind of press this open so that it's nice and neat and then we are going to fold these right sides together and we are going to sew all the way around all three of these edges now the only thing you have to remember the only thing pay attention is you have to unzip your zipper halfway if you don't do that then you can't get your hands in if you've closed up your whole square you can't get your hands in to pull the pillow right sides together so before you sew around all the edges unzip your zipper halfway if you do that this is a very easy no fail project if you don't do that you're going to be pulling out your seam rip burn it's going to be really annoying all sewn up we need to trim the corners just like you would bag making or anything else just to make sure those corners turn nice and pretty and make a nice little point like so and then you just the hole that you left when you undid your zipper halfway don't come at me if you forgot to do that um you just turn it right side out and take your point turner and get into those corners and make them nice and pretty then we just uh put in our pillowcase really um so on my other one you saw that i added pom poms if you wanted to add any trim uh to the seams along the outside you would have done that before you sewed your pillowcase closed obviously oh my god that is so cute um so if you wanted to put in like a ruffle around the edge or flat um piping or regular piping whatever you wanted to do you would need it you would have needed to do that um in a step previous to this one all right let's do the fun job of stuffing the pillow into the pillowcase if you if you got your measurements right this shouldn't be easy but this shouldn't be difficult either it should kind of wiggle its way in that look like a million bucks is to get the corner of the pillow all the way up into the corner of the pillowcase floppy pillowcase corners are my biggest pet peeve don't let me come over to your house and see your floppy pillowcase corners no i'm kidding but you need to do it on the bottom side too just get that filling all the way to the edge all the way to the corner this one's pretty good and then tuck everything in nice and neat give it a little judge oh my gosh you guys and there you have it a gorgeous pillow that's reversible okay i'm getting too excited let me show you what my little sofa situation looks like


I'm Daniel Fountainberry, the founder of CoTeacher, and I believe that every child in the world deserves and can have access to a high-quality, caring teacher. Why is this so critical? Because research demonstrates that teacher quality is the most important, school-related factor for influencing student achievement. Teacher quality starts with teacher presence being in the classroom available to students. Here in the West, we take it for granted that our children's teachers will show up to school. But for more than half the world's students, common teacher absenteeism is a serious impediment to student success. Imagine students sitting alone in their classrooms expecting and wanting a teacher for being left to their own devices. The rise in teacher absenteeism is a foresign of a greater problem. Around the world, teachers are burning out and fleeing the profession. And the timing of this trend cannot be worse. According to UNDP, the world will need 67 million more teachers by 2030 in order to educate every child in the world through high school. We're not on track to add 67 million new teachers. So how do we ensure that every child in the world has access to a high-quality teacher despite the growing teacher shortage? That's what we're here to discuss today. I want to speak to you today about a future that's possible that we can achieve if we think big and act boldly. Every child in the world can have access to a high-quality teacher. Now, that could be a teacher who's physically present in their classroom, a teacher who's virtually present or an intelligent agent, an AI that's nearly indistinguishable from a human teacher. Let's talk about each of these three cases and how they build upon each other and how we'll get there. So first, a teacher that's physically present in the classroom. What makes a good teacher? Do you remember the best teacher you ever had? Chances are, there was some moment when a teacher, whatever his or her name was, led you to have a breakthrough.  That is what great teachers do. They build your confidence in yourself. They prove to you that you're more capable and more talented than you ever imagined. How do they do it? Empathy and emotional intelligence. Now, listen closely. I'm going to let you in on a teacher secret. And athletic coaches know this too. You've got to push the student beyond their comfort zone so that when they achieve a win or a victory, they feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Here's where the emotional intelligence of a good teacher comes in. A good teacher can see when the child has reached their limit and is becoming discouraged. This little teacher will adjust their voice and say, hey, Tim, you can do this. I believe in you. The teacher may even reach out and place his or her hand on the student's shoulder just to add a bit of extra work. The reason why I'm talking about these very human interactions is this. If we're going to launch teachers into virtual reality, we must provide them the ability to emote and to interpret the emotions of their students. How can this happen in a virtual reality environment? There are technologies that will be essential for enabling the exchange of emotion within virtual reality environments. And the first and most important amongst them is 5G or maybe a successor, 7G. So here's what 5G really does. 5G reduces latency. Simply put, the time it takes for a packet of data to go from your device to the internet and back to your device. What does this mean for expressing emotion in virtual reality? Well, have a good look at my face. Okay, here's my virtual reality face and think about my real face. You'll notice that the range of emotion on my virtual reality face is limited. And when I talk and move, it's a little robotic. It's not fluid. If this environment tried to capture the full range of my emotions and movements and update them in real time so that I look more natural, your computer would fail. Our internet systems are not meant to handle that kind of load, but 5G and its successor technologies are. The future is getting closer. Very soon, expect to have more intimate human connections over virtual reality. In our 5G enabled environment, a teacher can project themselves into a classroom halfway around the world and have an intimate face-to-face discussion with the student. The teacher's camera can read and interpret his or her emotions on their face and project those into the virtual reality space, updating in real time. The student's camera can do the same. It's as if the two are in the same room, speaking to each other, connecting, able to view each other's emotions. Now, once we've enabled any teacher to be anywhere, have we provided every student in the world access to a caring, high-quality teacher? Unfortunately, no, we have not. That is not enough. In a regular classroom, a teacher can manage about 25 students, maybe 30. In a VR environment, it depends. Now, I'm not talking about a lecture hall where the student sits and takes notes like in college. I'm talking about a classroom with kids. Virtual reality or not, a teacher's ability to manage a classroom will top out at about 1T students at a time. So, we still need 67 million more teachers. How are we going to get there? I believe the only way we can close the teacher gap and provide the world enough teachers is to supplement human teachers with intelligent agents. Yes, AI teachers.  Couldn't AI interpret a child's instructional needs and respond to their emotional needs? Not just respond with a teaching strategy, but also with empathy, something resembling humanity. This is the gap. This is the lead forward we will need to make. So that every child in the world has access to caring and quality teachers. We will need to build agents for virtual reality classrooms that can deliver personalized instruction and interpret and respond to the emotional needs of a child. This may sound like science fiction, but it's within our reach. We just have to look at the innovations that are transforming industries like gaming and e-commerce and put them to use in education. So what are these critically enabling technologies that we need to move forward? Let's look at a few of them. First, voice replication. The ability for AI to replicate and reproduce human voices on the fly. So we're reaching the end of the era of Alexa and Siri voices. Soon, voice application will speak to you with human voices that will make it easier for you to forget you're speaking to a robot. That will be very helpful in a PR classroom setting. Dialogue technology is another. Have you noticed that chatbots and robo callers are getting better and better or at least easier to communicate with? That's because computers are getting better at holding conversations or actually baking conversations by having thousands of responses on hand. Either way, AI based teachers will benefit greatly from research in the field of dialogue technology. And the last technology, virtual world creation. Any gamer knows the best games the one that emerged in a world that is infinitely expansive. Such games are using AI to generate new game components and build scenes on the fly. Scenes and game components that the producers hadn't imagined. So bringing together technologies and voice, dialogue and virtual world creation. We can build AI teachers for virtual world that provide students the guides and support they need to grow as learners. And AI teacher could never replicate a human teacher, but can certainly replace an absent teacher. The world needs 67 million more teachers. AI based teachers must be part of the solution. Let's start working together today to solve the problem of tomorrow because tomorrow will be there very soon. I'm Daniel Fountainberry, the CEO and founder of Code Teacher. And I'm excited to speak with each one of you about building a future where every child in the world has access to a high quality and caring teacher. And that means using technology to maximize the classrooms today and also building for the classrooms of tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Good afternoon. My name is Kurt Barnes currently assigned to traffic operations to the city enforcement motorcycle unit last night August 27th, 2019 one of our officers was Pursuing a violator started out to Go after the violator and at that time The vehicle lost control and he sustained serious injuries and was transported to Denver health Main thing we really want to talk about specifically is the safety of our construction zones right now We have the I-70 project that is going on. This is huge the amount of people that are still traveling through this We need to ask the Community to please be aware that this is a construction zone to be aware that There are workers out there 24 hours a day seven days a week And that they're out there doing a job and that we're very concerned for their safety The officer was out there doing speed enforcement Trying to get people to slow down in that construction zone When the crash occurred the officer was Transported to Denver health where he is still there today Because of his injuries He did sustained serious injuries There were multiple fractures and so we're pretty much asking everybody to be aware of these construction zones and also Just traffic safety, you know Reduce your speeds in these construction zones But not only that be aware put your cell phones down You know tight take away any type of distraction that you have But please make sure that you're safe for yourself and also for The community around you and also the construction workers and the officers out there doing flagging The officer is a 15-year veteran with the Denver Police Department He is currently assigned to traffic operations on the afternoon team and he's been with traffic operations for the last few years and is also one of our motorcycle officers There were multiple calls for Assistance for the officer the officer was unable to call for help The investigation is still continuing our traffic investigation unit is Doing a thorough investigation on that to determine not only the causation of the accident but also the vehicle speed and We're hoping that we can actually glean something from that so that these type of accidents don't occur again The big thing about motorcycles is they're extremely Maneuverable You're able to maneuver in and out of traffic very easily the bad thing is not everybody sees them Not everybody is aware that you're out there doing enforcement So we really have to be aware. It's we call it head on the swivel where you're constantly looking at your surroundings making sure That you're safe and that also the other community around you is also safe Motorcycle officers Troll in pairs We are actually considered solo motorcycle officers I tried to ride with a partner anytime I can you open up so much more Availability to see different violations you now you have Two sets of eyes that are actually paying attention and aware of the circumstances But it's also aware of any type of hazard too. That's a big thing if you see something That you can let your partner know but you can also Receive that information from your partner. It's a great opportunity to have a partner, but it's not always available At this point that portion of the investigation is still continuing I'm not sure if they actually made contact with that person. I'm not even sure if that person was even aware that the officer was you know Going after them, you know trying to contact them It was more of a situation that the officer went down and thank goodness that the people who were behind They're the ones who stopped And would you think the witnesses or people that started to kind of rush in? Oh Very much so we're very thankful very thankful that they stopped to help Denver has Officers out at Denver International Airport. We have the Denver Mall unit and then we have traffic operations So we have three different distinct groups Probably close 50 to 75 officers the districts also have the zeros which is the Electric motorcycle so there's even a few of those officers out doing enforcement and also patrolling the areas Yes, I did go down last night I was able to talk to him He's doing Considering the number of fractures that he has he's doing extremely well I really don't you know no information like that that would be something that we would probably get from our statistician or through our traffic investigations unit It's always something that's in the back of your head, you know, you're constantly aware Of your surroundings of the road surface making sure This section of the road was had recently been roto milled That's always a fun proposition on a motorcycle but differing types of roads Everything from, you know concrete to blacktop to roto milled You're always aware of that circumstance and you're trying to do the best you can to control your motorcycle No changes that I can think of nothing that I really see in the near future. I can tell you that Enforcement will probably Increase just because of the fact that we are seeing a need For the enforcement as from this accident there. It's definitely evident that There is an issue and that's what we need to address, you know for the safety of everybody Yeah, is there anything you want to reiterate to drivers especially i-70 that project that's going to be going on for a long time? You know, I would really have to stress most important traffic safety Slow down be aware of your circumstances. The roads are narrowing, you know while they're doing this construction The lanes are changing the lane from when you traveled the same road the week before might be different Make sure that you're aware of that look for the barriers out there look for the construction workers If the construction workers are out there if you see one you're not seeing probably, you know 10 to 15 Additional ones that are supporting them so be aware of that slow down set your phone down No distractions while you're driving, you know that I would say that's probably the most important thing And really stress to our motoring public to be aware that number one that there's Construction going on but secondly that there's workers performing that construction and there might be officers out there doing enforcement in that construction zone This was only the Denver police department Thank you
