The most popular sport on Boston's Charles River is rowing in one-man skulls. Or rather, it was the most popular sport, that is, until they took to beating on one-man skull. Mine. This is another in the Adventures of America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigator, Johnny Dollar. At insurance investigation, Johnny Dollar is only an expert.  Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to Ms. Melanie Carter, Pinkney Street, Meakin Hill, Boston. The following is an accounting of my expenditures during assignment as your representative, investigating list of your relatives who might be interested in murdering you for your insurance. Or, who'd like to rock the old doll to sleep? Or, the unnice niece and the charming young rat who put the few in the word nephew. Expense account item one, $5.98, airfare, Hartford to Boston. Item two, three and a quarter, cab fare, Logan Airport to your residence on Beacon Hill. This is Mr. Dollar, the insurance man from Hartford. Electric latch, unlock the door, you're flat, and I step through. Straight out of this century into the last, it was another world, the remnants of which you see today in antique shops, including those Chinese wind chimes that tinkled over by the window.  What's the matter, ma'am? Oh, nothing, nothing. You just remind me of someone I once knew. That's all. I was so... Come sit down over here. Thank you, Miss Carr. I take a few harm, Miss Carr. Oh, yes, yes, indeed.  Maybe, but certainly not one any more attractive. Oh, hold on to that gallantry of yours, young man. It's very difficult to find these days. And a very precious treasure to women. Miss Carter, since you seem to know my name, I guess there's not much use in my telling you that I'm the investigator recommended by your insurance company, Royal Life. Oh, yes, they sent me a telegram saying you would be here. No telephone? No. No telephone. You see, Mr. Dali, I was once a very happy young lady. Yesterday was very good to me. Today and tomorrow. Who knows? And why take chances? What little life I have left I want to enjoy. That is why I've sent for you. That means somebody told you I was an early American insurance investigator? No, no, my dear. It's just that experience is such a good teacher. Mr. Dali. Many years ago, my husband was murdered for his insurance money by his very own brother. Would you hand me my smelling-soul? Yes, surely. They were. Well, faith was very quick in passing judgment on the case, because the brother was killed by a runaway horse as he was leaving the scene of his terrible crime. I not only received my half of the insurance money, but also the half that would someday have gone to him. Oh, and now you feel that your life may be in danger for the same reason. Oh, well, whether my life is actually in danger is not the most important thing. It is my mind that beneficiaries to all of my insurance, and as the company may have told you, it is a lot of insurance. Are my niece and my nephew the children of that murderer. You see, I adopted them after their father's death. That blood is bad. And I want you to make sure that I am not engulfed by it. So, with the two names and addresses you gave me, written in your precise copper-plate handwriting, I set out to give the once-over lightly to the two people you were afraid might someday give you a once-over not so lightly. Move number one. A quick trip up the financial pathways worn bare by credit bureaus, income tax investigators, and other types of snoops.  Move number two. A quick trip to Cambridge. The address of your nephew, Charmers Carter. A stylish firetrap near Harvard Square. A maid let me in and summoned her mistress. Her entrance was announced by the jangling of a stack of bracelets and bangles running up her arm. So sorry to keep you waiting, darling. What was it you wanted? Uh, how do you do? Mrs. Carter? Oh, yeah. And I'm Crystal Carter. Oh, I say that's a beautiful suit you're wearing. It's not Boston, I can tell. No, New York. $185. Right off the ranks. Mrs. Carter, the maid tells me your husband isn't at home. I know. He isn't? Well, when do you expect him back? He always calls me before he comes. Why? I want to talk to him. That's why. Business, you know that old stuff. Oh, business. Who can have any fun? Business. Who are you, anyway? Sit down. Oh, my guy who suddenly knows what the old fashioned ice man must have felt like. Huh? Oh. Who are you, I ask. Mrs. Carter, I am what is known in the investment business as a finder. My job is to find money for people who have bona fide projects but who are short on cash with which to develop them. Oh, that sounds like a lovely job. It is. When you find the money, you're working a percentage. Now, right now out in California, there's a little man who some time ago bought a lot of oil rights covering a big piece of property. It's right near a new hall where there's been a lot of gushers coming in. He's got the property. I'm looking for the money with which to develop it. I hoped your husband would be interested. Oil? There's a lot of money in oil. Well, of course he's interested. I'll call him right away. Before you do, maybe I'd better tell you. What I'm looking for is a lot of money. Uh-huh. So unless your husband has a lot available, it'll be no use. Well, I... He can get it. I'm sure he can get it. He's often told me all I needed was one big chance. Maybe this is it. I know where to reach him on the phone. Where can he reach you? The chance to make a lot of quick money melted the love light right out of Crystal Carter's eyes. And if anything, the money look that replaced it was even wilder. She moved fast. By the time I got back to my hotel, there was a message there telling me where I could find her husband, Charmers. And her directions took me back into a taxi. Back across the Charles River and moved number three to the Vaishor Trotting Club, a fancy little track where millionaires who like the smell of stables see how fast they can make horses trot. Charmers Carter was up there among the rest in spirit, if not in prosperity, sitting in a low-flat grandstand watching the afternoon workouts, knowingly holding a stopwatch in his hand and keeping one eye on a blazed-faced filly who was kicking up the dust in the racing oval and one ear on me. May not know, Mr. Carter, the best thing about an oil investment, the first 27% of your income from it is tax-free. What? Say that again. That's right. The first 27% tax-free. Hmm. Dollar, just how much money do you need? About 120,000 should do it. 120,000, huh? All right, I'll see what I can do about it. What did you say about 120,000, Carter? George. When you get your hands on 120,000, Charmers, don't forget the 500 you owe me. Move number four. A quick trip back across the one-more-river I seem to have to cross, the Charles, to a pompous little apartment on Bay State Road where I found your niece Sophia. Very pretty, but very stuffy. Your proposition interests me. However, I would naturally first have to check everything very closely with my business advisor. Oh, naturally. This first visit is only to find out whether you are interested and whether you do have money immediately available. Immediately? Yes. I see. Very well. I think it can be managed. Then having made those moves, I was in a hurry to move you out of the way, which led me straight back to your flat on Pinkney Street, Beacon Hill. And there, once again, I bumped into what I've learned to expect in my racket, the unexpected. Your apartment door was slightly open. Your wheelchair was empty.  A telephone. Look up a plant in the antique store across the street and waited for your visitors. They were charming, just the sort of folks you'd expect to see on Beacon Hill, dropping in for a spot of afternoon tea. They were the kind of guys who never wear wristwatches, handcuffs being rough on watch crystals. I gave him a short lead upstairs and pussyfooted up behind him. Oh, one of these days, my right eye is gonna wind up shaped like a keyhole, with my left ear shaped like a cauliflower from pressing against door panels. Yeah, what's on your mind, Grandma? How worried I've been about that family of mine. Well, things are even worse now. What's that? Yeah, what's up? Well, I want you to understand that it wasn't that I didn't have complete faith in your ability to protect me. But I finally turned to my insurance company, hoping to save a few dollars. They sent a scoundrel named Dollar from Hartford to protect me, mind you. And do you know what he did? No, what did he do? No, what did he do? Well, just to make sure this dollar fell off, I called a private detective and had him followed when he left here. Good.  Huh? That guy sounds like a big operator. Yeah, that guy sounds like a big operator. Well, whatever he is, I want that young man out of the way. Grandma D, you don't really mean out of the way. That's exactly what I mean. Joseph, I see something I don't like very much. What is it? Some shadows moving around to the edge of the front door. Well, what are we waiting for? I wasn't a match for one of those guys, let alone two. And Rocky, Big Sir Echo, not only repeated everything Joe said, he repeated everything Joe did. Take this! Yeah. Don't let him get away! Mr.  Don't worry. I feel about as funny as a funeral. My own. Well, I hope you've learned your lesson. Although, don't you think for a minute it's all over. This'll teach you honesty is the best policy and cheaters them a prosper. Take it easy, Grandma D. This boy will not ever bother you again. Come on, Buster. Yeah. Come on, Buster. Yeah. Go on, Buster. In just a moment, we will return to the second act of Johnny Dollar. But first, this fall, you'll hear them all on CBS, and you'll hear from the top mystery writers, as well as top stars like Jack Benny, Bing Crosby, and the Lux Radio Theatre luminaries. One such master of mystery, Raymond Chandler, and his world-famous private eye, Philip Marlowe, will be heard from later tonight on most of these same CBS stations. Be sure to hear this latest, hard-bitten, wise-cracking adventure of Philip Marlowe later tonight, won't you? Tune in, tune in this fall for the shows that you love best of all. Listen carefully, here's the address. C-B-M-C-B-S. Now, with our star, Charles Russell, we return to the second act of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. People are taken for a ride, at least it's a free one. However, Joseph and his friend Rocky didn't feel that way. So, expense account, item three, a buck twenty, cab fare, up Tremont Street toward Boston's south end. The three of us sat packed in the back of a taxi with me in the middle, and just as we passed King's Chapel burying ground, Rocky and Joseph suddenly felt the urge to be alone with me. Hey, David, crank up your window. We wish to be in private.    But step on it! There were also things to step on in Joe's lousy hotel. Up in his room, they gave me the hot seat of honor on the edge of the bed, stood over me, one on each side, and issued me an invitation, but not to dance.  What are you talking about? Yeah, Joe, what are you talking about? You just keep your muscles handy. I do the thinking, and you do it. Okay, so go do it. Huh? Do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. Where was me? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I was saying, Dharma, you've got a good racket, and we want a piece of your action. Okay, Joe, what do you think my action is?  You set up the old lady to get knocked off, just like she said. In the meantime, you get all the people who will collect their insurance nice and ready to sell them some no-good oil stock. Your hands are clean, except for a Bush League swindler. The most you could get out of that is from three to five years, and that's the only change you're taking.  Well, let me ask you one thing, though. Why should I go to all that trouble? Why shouldn't I just sell my hot oil stock to the old lady in the first place and save all that extra trouble? Huh?  You've got your reasons. You ain't kidding, nobody. We like the way you operate, and we want in. Oh, I guess I've found myself a pair of partners. Good. Shake. Yeah, shake. No, one at a time. Joe? Rocky? Oh, I'm sorry. This is great. Yeah, Rocky and me have been taking Grandma for a few bucks now, and them protecting her from them squares. She's a payday. But I never thought it would turn into anything as big as this. Just out of curiosity, how'd you guys meet Grandma in the first place? We was doing a little social break and then one night it turned out to be her house. Yeah? She got the drug brand, they see. We seen it air in a wheelchair, pushed her into the bedroom, and went to work. Yeah, yeah, went to work. And the next thing we know, she's standing there pointing a whole shotgun at us. Yes, yes. What? Creeped up a snow shotgun. What? What are you doing? It's a very historical musket. Oh. Stupid look. And she told me. Let's see, where, where was we? Oh, yeah, anyway, that's how we met her. She made us a day out here. She wouldn't call a cops if we'd then return. Besides, she paid us for it. We ought to have a bottle set up. Yeah, what for? Well, all we gotta do is wait till the nephew of the niece knock off the rainy. Why not have a drink while we're waiting? Oh, well, now, hold everything. That's not the way to do it. How come? Yeah, how come?  The chance to get rid of whoever murders the old doll. We see who do it. We turn them in. They're out of the way, and the insurance money goes to the other one. Then I go to work on them. Eh, eh, eh, yeah, yeah. You see what I mean, Rocky? That's why guys like him have got more brains than guys like me.  And spade. Okay, Donna, what do we do? I was in a bad spot, but I'd put you, Andy Carter, in a worse one, hoping to attract any bad apples that might be hanging on your family tree. Then all of a sudden, you decided I was a worm and eliminated me as your number one protector. Among your spoiled family fruit, there was nephew Chalmers, fishy-eyed and money-hungry, his wife Crystal, who was no killer to look at, but who could be sure of her with a gun in her hand. Then there was Sophia. She was stuffy, but strangely reminded me of a precocious young lady who strangled her mother so that she might wear her evening gown to her high school senior prom. So, when Joseph, expert in giving a fellow's eye a coat of many colors, asked me, what do we do now, I honestly didn't know. The best answer I could come up with was get back to where we could keep an eye on your address on Pinkney Street. But when we got there, Pinkney Street was blocked off by blue uniforms and reinforcements were still arriving. Hey, what's going on? There's one thing, the saint of policemen's ball. Look, how well do you guys know to the Boston police? They're some of their best quiz masters. They failed to make us talk.  Don't worry. They looked Joseph at the cops coming down out of her house. What do you mean now? Looks like the job is good, sir. I'd better get up the hill and find out for sure. Don't forget, partner, we're watching. Don't worry. What's going on? Am I going to make the front page? Yeah, you might. What's it all about? Some dame, a friend of the commissioners, called for protection. I thought it was a murder. It is. By the time we get here, the dame up there is colder than Sunday morning beans. How do you like that? Hey, when you're writing this story, my name is Fred Mosher. Oh, yeah, Fred Mosher. I used to play basketball for the Boys Club of Boston. When you're writing this story, I'm going to put my name in it. The wife will get a kick out of it. Well, I've got to get back to headquarters. Headquarters? Hey, officer. Fred, come here. Listen, I'll see that you get your name in the paper if you do me a favor. Act like you're arresting me, will you? A couple of friends of mine are just down the street. I want to pull a gag on them. Sure. We're the without handcuffs. Anyway, just grab me by the elbow and throw me in that squad car. I'm going to tell the boys of Joseph and Rocky that I had just successfully dissolved a partnership. At the corner of Arlington and Boylston, I swapped the patrol car for a cab. And what do you know? I headed back across the Charles River to Cambridge. I'm sorry they made wise me to answer the door. I'm all... Would you mind, Crystal, walking just a few more steps ahead of me? It'll make you easier to follow. You just stop worrying about my husband. He had to go out for a while on his business. I told you before he always falls, before he comes home. In case I worry about the brakes. How long has he been gone? I wish you'd stop worrying about Charles. Well, wait a minute. Now stop it.  Wait a minute. Watch it. What do you want, too? Oh, dear! Stop it! Stop it, I say! Oh, it's you, darling. A finder, huh? Just what are you trying to find? Now, wait a minute, Carter. Charles is saying Kevin's your body. He forced his way in. He's from New York. I am not. I'm from Hartford. It's only my suit that's from New York. Why, you despicable cad! I've a good notion to thrice you to within an inch of your life. I was certainly in no position to ask any questions around there, so I hit him a shot and a whiskers and left. I think I went back across the Charles River to Bay State Road and niece Sophia's pompous little apartment. Nobody answered, and I broke rule number three in the book of how not to get your head split open when nobody answers the door. I picked the burglar's friend type lock and went in. At first I set off a new polite kind of burglar alarm, but it was only a grandfather clock tolling out 10 p.m. as the moonlight bough me smack in the kisser. The first thing I saw out the window was my friend the Charles River, over which I'd made more crosses than the X-man in a tic-tac-toe tournament. My tongue was as dry as that was wet. The second thing I saw, thanks to my fountain pen type flashlight, was an open drawer in a kidney-shaped desk. Sophia Carter was no housekeeper. The white paper lining inside it was dusty, except for the portion that held the vacant outline of a junior miss size revolver. Then the lights went on. Auntie, what are you doing alive? Oh, you should be dead, didn't you? Will I not see? Yeah, I sure do see.  I don't walk in on a man with a gun in his hand. It's a matter of courage. When I don't throw a flying tackle on a girl with a gun in her hand, it's a matter of etiquette. And when I don't get rough with an old lady holding a gun in her hand, it's a matter of knowing that your age or reflexes are gone, you're going to talk out of things. With me holding your gun hand straight up overhead, I hope nobody's at home upstairs. Give me that. Let me go! Let me go!   Sophia was when she came to my flat this afternoon. Oh, which must mean that Sophia is the body in your flat tonight. The body I thought was yours. I know she was.  Now, what's that you've got in your other hand? No, look, you can't. No, look, you can't read it. No, no, no. What I ripped out of her hand was a very old note written on very old paper. And reading it, what with the clawing, it read like a voice from out of the past. The voice of that 82-year-old woman's long-dead husband, Halib Carter.  This time, I'm afraid she has succeeded. Also, crushing the light from your father and my brother beneath the wheels of her carriage as he rushed to my rescue. Well, I guess this means that Sophia had this letter and has been holding it over your head for years. Yes. It's been blackmailing me. Blackmailing me. Blackmailing me. Melanie, it was your conscience that first called me into this case to protect you from your relatives. It was your conscience that hired that private detective to protect you from me. And it was your conscience that got you mixed up with Joe and Rocky to protect you from the detective and me. Then again, it was that same old conscience that called in the police to protect you from your gangster friends. Now, there's only one more thing I hope. What's that? That that same conscience will prevent you from making an undignified surrender. My arm. Thank you. You're the man. Expense account. Item four, 15 bucks, pipe and slippers. A piece meant the charmers caught a nephew of the accused. To give him a symbol that all I was really trying to find was a way to straighten out his home life. Item five, $50. A personally autographed check in lieu of his name in the paper to patrolman Fred Mosier so that the wife would still get a kick out of the publication of his name in a payable two line of said check. Expense account. Item six, $15. Gift to Joseph and Rocky. One roll of tickets on the River Queen. Sightseeing boat, which gives daily round trip tours of the Charles River. Maybe they'll do me a favor and fall in. Item seven, $5.98. Airfare, Boston to Hartford. Expense account total. What's the use? Where you are now, Aunt Melanie Carter. You're never going to be in a position to pay. I won't even bother to sign it. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Truly Johnny Dollar is produced and directed by Gordon T. Hughes and stars Charles Russell. Script by Paul Dudley and Gil Dowd. Be sure to be with us at the same time next week when another unusual expense account is handed in by yours truly, Johnny Dollar. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.

The number of CircuitPython supported microcontrollers and single-board computers grows every week. There were two new boards added this week the OdroidXU4 and the OdroidXU4Q. Are you interested in adding a new board to CircuitPython? Check out the Adafruit Learn system for a series of guides about getting your board added to CircuitPython and CircuitPython.org. There were two new Python on hardware-related guides in the Adafruit Learn system this week, including learn how to build a simple physics-based LED hourglass gadget using two small LED matrices and CircuitPython in this guide from Carter Nelson. The number of CircuitPython libraries is 257. This includes both the Adafruit CircuitPython libraries and the CircuitPython community libraries. There is one new library this week Adafruit CircuitPython AHTX0. There are also a number of updated libraries. As always, visit CircuitPython.org slash libraries to download the latest Adafruit CircuitPython bundle. Included in this week's updates from the CircuitPython team. With the work on the ICM20948 library completed, Brian moved on to finishing up the previously started tester code. Testers are the final arbiter of a board's fitness to be sold, so the tester code is where we make sure we've tested all of the hardware on the breakout board. We can fix libraries later if we've missed something or haven't enabled a feature. However, once the hardware ships to customers, that's how it's going to be for as long as they own it. Testers and the code that powers them are responsible for catching any glitches in manufacturing that, while rare, do occur. Making sure the tester code is right is in some ways more important than the library itself. Dan is continuing the re-implementation of CircuitPython underscore BLEIO on host computers using the Bleak Python library. He's using the heart rate monitor library as a test, and had to implement most of underscore BLEIO to get even that simple library to work. He had to make some changes to the base Adafruit underscore BLE library to accommodate Python on the host machines, and he's testing now. On the STM32F405 feather, Jeff has finished SDIO read and write code. The performance is better than SPI, especially when you are moving more data around. However, even just writing a log file in text, you can log over a thousand lines per second. This is on a fresh class 4 4 gigabyte SD card. He's not sure how performance changes as the card fills up. This code is in an open pull request on GitHub, so if you're comfortable building CircuitPython from source, you can give it a try today. Next, we want to bring SDIO code to the SAMD51. However, all the existing Adafruit boards use SPI. Hopefully this breakout, made from an SD card adapter, will let him get the prototype working. Melissa was working on catching up with some of her smaller projects. One of the projects she really enjoyed working on was writing a couple of demos for an e-ink bonnet. Since she didn't actually have the e-ink bonnet, she assembled one using the Adafruit perma-proto hat for the Raspberry Pi, along with an e-ink breakout and a few passive components that she had on hand. One of the demos she worked on went out and fetched weather data and displayed it on the e-ink. This was a little challenging in that using too small of fonts would result in reduced readability, so she needed to experiment with font size, boldness, and the overall layout, and it came together nicely. The code is based on the Pi Portal weather code, but it uses the Mediocon's font, which was inspired by Dan Cugliano, to display the weather image, so there's actually no graphics involved in the traditional sense.

How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week's project. We're gonna be doing a cover-up a huge cover-up my mark my Relax, I'm too excited My client Marcos is coming back for another cover-up if you guys remember him he got Poseidon oh right here Poseidon an owl Pegasus a Lion and a huge cover-up on the top of his arm here now. He's coming back for this arm here It is a lot going on and I mean the whole entire arm is full of something What I'm gonna be doing is Hercules and my goal for this Hercules is because it is a such a soft Statue you know the cheeks the the forehead my goal is to give it texture Let's add texture where there's no texture. How about that?


All right, whoo Drupal con Very happy to be here. I want to quick thank all the organizers all the people putting all this together. They're amazing This is an incredible event. I love it. Thank all of you for coming. I appreciate it I prepared for you a brand new talk brand new first time I've ever given it Considerations, thank you Considerations of federated search. My name is Adam Bergstein. I go by nerd steam This is a live-action shot of me at a beach just you know, maybe a couple days ago, right? The real thing I am the vice president of engineering. I work for hook 42. We are an awesome company Out of the Bay area. I live in Pennsylvania personally We have a great team. We do a lot of good services. Here's my information. I go by nerdsteen on Drupal.org Nerdsteen with a three on Twitter someone squatted my brand Not cool, right? Okay, so that's how you can reach me So about this talk, let's have a brief conversation first We're gonna look at some basic concepts of what we're talking about then we're gonna review search back-ends We're gonna look at some data transmission. How does that happen? Search features for you to be mindful of when you're evaluating solutions Let's look at interfaces and then we'll sum it up Some basic concepts All right, so how do we define? Federated search, how do we do that? What is the key thing that is that we're talking about? information retrieval that allows for Simultaneous, that's the keyword in that sentence search of multiple searchable Resources, okay So what do you really want you want something like that? You want Google, right?  I want it to be relevant, right? All of those things So that's gonna be our analogy for the day as we walk through this story, right? But what can your sources be what are the things that you really? You know want to try to get or grab in this context. We're a Drupal con, right? So we're gonna be looking at websites and it could be anything it could be raw HTML It could be generated with Gatsby. It could be any of that stuff. It could be a Drupal site Heck, it could even be WordPress I said it So what what's a real key thing? To to be mindful of as we're looking at these data sources. What are stuff that we need to kind of frame our reference? Well, let's look at like availability. That's kind of a key concept, right? So this data needs to be available to access so that we can get it to be searchable, right? So data basically can be anywhere we can get, you know data from any site It could be over, you know over here over there But we need to make sure that that data is readily available to to be searched, right? Another key concept to be mindful of is data formats, right? So we need to be looking at things in a standard kind of uniform and conventional way And if we don't then we're gonna get off the reservation, right? We want we can't scale We can't support every unique thing that happens on every single website So we're looking at generic things generic tools and practices and standards that we can use across the board So that we are successful Right another key concept to be mindful of is how often do you want that data to be refreshed, right?  Do you want it every 15 minutes and what kind of scale are you looking at, right? So if you're doing that across two or three thousand websites, right? Then you start getting into some complication there. So this is a good thing to be mindful of as you're looking at All right, let's dive right into the next section, which is about search back-ends Who's familiar with the term back-end? I just want to make sure that I'm okay. Cool. All right The first thing to really understand about a search back-end is you need some uniformity We've talked about this right so we need a shared schema, right? If you're going and looking at multiple websites and you're trying to get elements You need to understand what it is that you are Getting from those sites from those sources. So you need to agree on a shared definition That is standard across all of those sources, right? And then those that definition should have the associated Fields we could call them right and data types. So this thing I'm expecting like a shorter string or this thing is a big Block of HTML or maybe this thing is an image, right? So these are the different ways or different fields that you could look to set up or established But it's really relevant to whatever it is. You're searching And also don't forget about cardinality, right? Because HTML can have more than one heading on a page as an example, right? It's kind of important and these fields end up ending end up getting stored within an index And that is really like the analogy is a non-relational table, right? So you have relational databases that you can link things. It's not it's flat like it's big big epic big data table, right? So cut here's a kind of a good analogy to frame this a good visual that I thought might communicate this well You know, so if we're going and we're scouring our sources, you might have a title on the page You might have a h1 and h2 or a body tag, right? And those things kind of map to some other Oh, I'm sorry. So that's a schema. So those would be our fields within the schema So we're gonna say I want to get a table. I want to get all the h1s I want to get the h2s and then the the field types and everything are on the right side from framing that right So we have text this that one's a list of text and a list and that one might be long text, right? So that gives you just kind of some example of how to set up the schema in the fields make sense Cool all right, so what are some platforms that are kind of known for this sort of thing while you have elastic search That one's really up and coming. It's pretty cool. It's got a lot of advanced features Solar is kind of the conventional go-to stable Been around a while and Algolia is more of a platform as a service kind of thing That is really up and coming and it's pretty exciting too, and they're doing some good things very similar to elastic All right, so what are some considerations of these platforms as you're evaluating what you need to do for your search back end I think the most important thing today and right now is API is an interoperability If you don't have a good API to work from when you're working with a search back end It you're you're gonna shoot yourself in the foot. It will not scale The next thing is I've seen features around data types especially for elastic search They have things called semantic data types like geo location IP addresses and if you have semantic data types That gives you all these incredible features right at your fingertips like robust querying Reporting graphing charting through cabana like that kind of stuff is really really amazing. Chris is a super expert in that so Definitely look at the data types as you're going through and evaluating these platforms and it's gonna have to have all the basics right you Still need querying you still need filtering and functions that you can run So you can do some advanced calculations and summarize the data that you need and don't forget about environments, right? This is like the classic thing You know so you have your local system and you have development servers and then you have production You should have the same thing for your search back end, right?  That's really risky All right Cool so far so good everybody hanging in all right amazing data transformation. Let's look at that Okay, who's familiar with the migrate framework in Drupal right a lot of folks cool same thing Etl framework extract transform and load. We're doing the exact same thing This is how you can model what the data transmission looks like in any Federated search solution because you have to get the data in there right and we'll talk about how to do that So first we're going to extract all the information from the various sources and it could come from anywhere, right? We're going to do some sort of transformation, right? We probably normalize the data some maybe you know We have to do some sort of transformation I've never had a solution that hasn't you know We have to process each field make sure it's the correct data type etc And then we're going to load it in to the actual index itself, right? We're going to store it All right, so this this is cool So I took umami and did a little screenshot to try to communicate the idea of the fields and the idea of getting the Elements off of the page as you're doing this data transformation. So again, this is the umami the out-of-the-box initiative in Drupal and so you can see like I grabbed a recipe right and That is like one of the titles right? So that's the that's a source page and that's the field that I want to get from the page And I'm putting it into the index into the title of the index itself same here So here's an h2 on the page and there's a body and that goes into my headings field in the index Body goes into the contents field. So that's kind of how that ETL sort of works now I didn't really cover any of the processing, but that's the general idea So we're going to extract these things from the page and put it where we need it inside of our search index Makes sense. All right Now here's the example of the processor right so I have a body field and it's markup It's got a bunch of stuff in it. It's got punctuation. It's got a whole bunch of HTML tags, right? But maybe all I want is the actual content. I want the words right if someone's searching on something I want to make sure I'm getting the right words So what I might do is I'm going to grab that body value and as part of the transformation I'm going to remove the tags Right, I'm going to strip them out and then I'm going to ship it to the search index So this is really the ETL process for one of the fields What's going on? Cool Didn't get the diagrams in there. I apologize So there are two ways that you can actually extract data The first way is you could crawl a site. That's what Google does, right? So you could pull data from multiple sources you define The sources that you want and then you crawl them in a consistent and uniform way and that can handle your ETL Right as part of the crawling you could do the transformation at the exact same time and then store it as you're crawling right The other way is if you actually push data to the search index directly from the source So for those familiar with the Drupal stuff, right? We have search API Search API has the elastic connector module or Apache solar Modules and it can interact directly with an index, but that index could be receiving data from multiple sources, right? It's pushing it up. So you could have multiple Drupal sites pushing information So that's a good way to frame how you want to perform the data transmission I will say That with the crawler you have to be mindful of the fact that you are doing things in a extremely predictable and rigid way Every single time, right? I would not recommend putting in site specific logic inside of a crawler That would get really really hairy really quick We Build a crawler using the scrappy framework, which is in the Python ecosystem But you have access to all those really cool Python plugins and modules that like right at your fingertips, right? So lots of like net natural language processing and data normalization tools that are right there Right in your grasp super easy to use. It's a great framework I we really liked it and then you know You're gonna run that and you're gonna spider your sites and get all the information that you need And so you do need to be mindful though the scrappy framework is really cool It provides some out-of-the-box extraction logic So for those that are familiar with like CSS selectors, you can get elements of the page Grab the information or you can use XPath something like that But you need some way to be able to query what is on the page, right? I want the body tag or I want this heading with this class or something like that, right? And So there's some really nice stuff too especially for Drupal with the natural language processing that you could work very well with Multilingual as an example, so that's another big consideration is the language Yeah, and then scrappy was cool because it has a whole bunch of plugins for source storage So like if I wanted to use elastic it had a plug-in if I wanted to use solar had a plug-in I could write it to a data file that would work too, you know But it can do a lot of different different things The source API is really I think the great way to frame this the model is every source is responsible for performing its own Transaction right and it has to conform to what the central index is doing right and the data types in the fields And so this often ends up being that you have to have custom logic per site You have to write all the processing and then you have to perform the mapping from my elements on my page To what is in the index itself?  But the benefit is you can really refine or very uniquely specify what you want to set per site Which is advantageous in some cases and we did talk about this with the search API and the indexes and processors cool So far so good. We're we're blazing. All right. We're blazing All right search features Again, let's level set. We're trying to do this. Okay We are trying to do this. That is what people want All right So I love that image. It's a little blurry, but I think you'll get the point Semantics semantics is everything when looking at search features. This is like the biggest like aha moment, right? So When someone searches for something right if they type in the word fly Do they want a bug or are they going on an airplane? Right if they do bat are they talking about an animal? Are they talking about a device to hit a ball? No one knows right. This is very confusing So search terms can actually have various meanings meaning is the key the semantics are really valuable to understand in this context So how can we try to like extend this a bit more a lot of search features? They consider this idea called tokenizing right and you could split up what is searched and try to understand it better in more Context so if you split up this input into specific terms someone might type fly on a plane Right, and then you have a specific semantic right or they say fly on a wall and that's implying a bug Right so having those tokens to split up the different words can help you to achieve that Semantics that we are looking to achieve Another thing that you can do as part of search is really stripping out stop words And these are words that I you know, maybe they just don't really add value to the semantics They don't have any real meaning so if someone types in of or the or my It's not really Getting you anywhere. It's not adding any value to what is in the search index, right? It's like a dead word right and so they call those stop words and Stop words are really critical because they don't add to the semantics, right? So you can basically strip them out The other thing to be kind of mindful of Around semantics is the idea of synonyms. So a lot of search backends search platforms have support for things like synonyms right where You might search for car, but you know, maybe someone wants auto or maybe someone wants vehicle They're all kind of the same idea, right? So like if you go through and you're searching for car Maybe you do want it to allow to search for auto or maybe you give someone a suggestion and say like hey Did you want to search for auto as well? Something like that. So having those kinds of features can be really useful for the actual experience That someone might want when searching stemming is also really cool in terms of trying to drive semantics, right? because Say someone Looks for study, right, but they type studying or studies These are the same thing. They mean the same exact thing, right? So you could take the stem of the word and try to search for that, right? And there's tools to do that within some of these Search, you know platforms. So that's really really helpful because then you're driving towards the semantics, right? You're actually getting what you want from a search, you know Even if they use just slightly there a different variation of it, right? So that can be really helpful Limitizing it's basically the same idea except it's not starting with the stem of the word It's the variations of the same word. So grow grew grown, right? If you in the back end semantically it basically is all the same form of grow So you could understand that semantically you could look for that All right, everybody's favorite right spell checkers You know I mistyped my name going to Google and I really like the idea of having the did you mean the suggestion engine, right? So these are also features that sometimes come out of the box with some of these search back ends and search platforms So you might want that. It's a good consideration, right?  I want it Okay, so now we're getting into a little bit more of the You know kind of science here a lot of these search platforms have Specific ways to perform algorithms most of it comes through the querying engine But there is a lot of things here that you need to be mindful of right so the key thing is relevance Right, and if you're crawling multiple things and you're storing multiple fields per You know scrape of a page and you're putting that into like my title field and my body and my headings You kind of need a way to say you know what I want these headings to have more weight to more more value more relevance Then say the general contents right because headers are usually pretty important especially for screen readers and these other things and So naturally we need a way to be able to say well I want this algorithm to make this field a little better a little stronger give it a heavier weight then this other field over here, right and so What this what the outcome of this is is basically trying to define the sort order of what the the matching results are returned So I'm going to get them in a very specific Way in a very specific order and that usually if you see the terms weighting or boosting That is usually the terminology that is used to help with this algorithm And there are a lot of different features and things to be mindful of that can be a part of your algorithm on your site The other idea is filters and facets Okay, so if you have this field index split up by titles and headings and bodies, right? Maybe you want to very specifically filter based on one of those fields That is a very relevant use case right so someone can do the Google and type in men's Merrill hiking shoes Right and they'll just go and it'll get lemmatized and tokenized and try to get exactly what you want, right? Or maybe someone is shopping on a shoe website and on the left side is a facet that says Oh, okay. I'm gonna start. I want men's boom. I picked that all right next. I'm gonna pick hiking boom I picked that oh and all right. I see Merrill boom. I picked that They want to drill down because they know exactly what they want right so that's the idea of filters and facets So if you go you want to make sure that any search platform that you select is definitely capable of doing queries and This kind of feature set and they primarily do All right, are we hanging in? I'm blazing. I'll tell you Search interfaces. This is a very fast talk. All right There's really two primary ways to build a search interface in my experience The first way is what I would call integrated. Okay, and integrated is kind of the same idea of like I have a site And it's pushing data in my index This integrated approach is basically putting in a Feature on your website specifically that pulls information from the search index right so in this case This is exactly what like the search API is doing To get and retrieve information or views right it's a Drupal specific solution, right? And so you can look at that as kind of either the CMS doing its work or whatever framework you're using But you're building it specifically for the site, right? You're actually building an interface directly into your Drupal site that is working And you still do need to be mindful of the fact that you have to be able to generate queries you have The ability to process very specific records though, which is kind of cool, right? So you can really finally tailor the experience that you want site by site if you're using this kind of an approach Right, it's just like doing custom coding, right? So that's nice and all but it's not really for everybody And we're talking about Scenarios right where we're scanning and crawling thousands of sites, right? But what about a solution where we could look to have an interface that can work on all thousand All of those sites all two thousand three thousand of them, right? Let's look at that. All right In that case that would be more of a decoupled solution, right? I've heard a lot about react. I'm sure it's been discussed. I think a good bit So that's one framework view JS So you pick your modern JavaScript framework of choice of do Joe right soup of the day and you get You can build something that is agnostic to the Site that you're plopping that on right and that's you know going to be rendered through html. It's going to be rendered client Sorry Built client side right so you don't really have to worry about all the site specific stuff Now what you do need to worry about though is how you consume that you have to have an endpoint, right? So you can either do that directly to your elastic endpoint. I don't usually Recommend that I feel like you should have some proxy as sort of a security layer like a best practice, right? And that might be one other server, you know But we're talking something still central that is that can be put into any of the websites And the great thing about this approach too is you can still theme it in whatever way you want every every site Can still have its own CSS but you're going to keep the JavaScript the same and you're going to render it the same way And you're going to hit the endpoint the same all the logic is there just never changes, right? And the other good thing about it is this is really highly performant because you know you're pushing all that logic off to Off to the client so you're not going to slow down your back-end processes of the site You're not going to have to really worry about anything for the site You're going to push it all right, which is kind of cool And so you can really share the same exact artifact the same, you know app in As many sites as you want Pretty slick right we made it Not bad About seven minutes Any questions can you come to the mic that it's on my instructions? Thank you so much Architecture then you actually describe it here is kind of interesting and I'm thinking about implementing something very similar Okay, so you're basically saying many Drupal sites and then you have a back-end and it's kind of Pulling all this information right and then you search on any of the sites and it's returning the search results on Specific place so you're not you're not really going to a third Right server correct Is that Models that has already been done to accomplish this is this something that Absolutely this already a recipe. Oh, you mean is there like some code available to do this or anything like that Yeah, I mean, I think the there is I think so to repeat the question Is there what are some of the the tools that can get this from end-to-end to just you know probably build it, right? I mean, I think quite honestly that's really where you're looking at like a SaaS solution So like elastic has something called Swift type where you can just go and pay for it And it has its own crawler and do things in terms of something open source I'm not a hundred percent sure like I mean elastic itself is open source So is solar so you could like stand them up and have you know parts of the solution But I think that if you're looking at something like scrappy, it's extremely flexible like it's a framework So you still need to build in that logic. You still need to create your index and I think that's the piece It probably is going to take a bit of time I'm not really sure nothing comes to mind of something that you know You could just install quickly and kind of run with it But I that's that's certainly something I think to to look at you know in the future Yes, so you're talking about scrappy. Can you tell us like any specific features that you have used for scrappy? Oh, I could be here all day Where do I start? so Part of it is not just scrappy part of it is the whole Python ecosystem, right? So we use the NLP library that was really phenomenal for getting like language detection language negotiation between the sources and the contents We use tons of the string libraries to like strip out and process data across the fields that we were getting And scrappy itself has tons of plugins So it has like a CSS selector plugin that we made use of we did not use the XPath But you could if you want and also has all these plugins for like the sources. So there's like HTML Plugins or XML. There's even like markdown and things that you can get So we specifically made use of the HTML one there, but there's a whole host of Ones that you can take advantage of So it's really fascinating You said you don't recommend Like the separate server for Elastic search I was just wondering what are the considerations because we're using the decoupled approach with reactive search library and Elastic search sits in Sass solution in a cloud platform and it works like really well. So I was like wondering what are what are the considerations? So considerations like self-hosting versus using sass is that is that the question? Yeah, you said like the separate server for elastic search. You don't really recommend that. Oh Sorry, so maybe I wasn't clear on that. So when I'm talking about a separate server I'm actually just talking about separating it from like a source So and sometimes like you might pay for say like a pantheon host or an aria host And it's got a solar index that comes with it, right? You need to make sure that that is separate from your say Drupal database or your Drupal web server or something like that Because you don't want to slow it down, right? So make sure that those architecturally are split up So you want one central server and that makes sense across federated, right? Because if you're federating across two three thousand websites, you can't park it in one place that's tied to one website You should really put it somewhere completely separate in a central location. Yeah, good question. Thank you. Yeah Anything else? No, thank you so much


The second edition of the International Table Tennis Federation ITTF African-Western Region Championship will get underway today at the Mola de Okoya Thermal Hall to Slimbalogun Stadium, Lagos. The host Nigeria will slug it out with Ghana, Kedafua, Benarepublic, Togo and Liberia at the four-day championship. The chairman of the Lagos State Sports Commission, LSSC Shola Aipeku, said that Lagos was ready to host a tournament but in compliance with COVID-19 protocols and according to the Secretary-General ITTF African-Western Region, German Karoo, all were set for the championship as teams had all arrived while the venue was also set for the epic tournament that will mark the return of competitive action in the region.

The first winner, my friend, Team Kit Kat. What was it like to win the Global Learning Enterprise? Yeah, I mean, it was a lot of different emotions. It was incredible. We were ecstatic, proud, and really grateful. It was a huge validation of the work that we do and our approach to developing digital early learning solutions for children. Enterprise and we all together proved to the world two things that's never done before. One is that we proved that children, even in those such extreme under-resourced situations, can learn on their own how to read, write, and do basic math. And then secondly, is that the quality of the software does matter in terms of how much learning outcomes and learning gains that these children can have. What we're realizing now after being announced the winner and after XPRIZE published the incredible results of the field test is many of these international nonprofit organizations are coming to us. They have been waiting. There's very little discussions around whether the software is actually working. It's all about, like, how can we get started? How can we pilot? And once the pilot is successful, how can we scale? We just signed a contract with IRC and together with Imagine Worldwide, a research organization. And we will be running a pilot in Bangladesh with the Rohingya refugee children. So we are building KitKit School with Rohingya verbal audio instruction and teaching English. We're also in discussions with United Way Worldwide. So one of our team members just presented at the Latin America convening. A couple of governments actually reached out saying they want to begin a pilot with KitKit School in Spanish. We are also creating a version to teach Korean. A lot of our team members are from Korea for immigrant families in Korea. A lot of these partners want to be able to enter a roaster of children. Tablets will be shared among children. We want to see the data. They will not have the capacity to conduct oral baseline and end line tests, as XPRIZE did. So we need to build all those additional functions into KitKit School. And the other thing is by continuously looking at the data of the students on how they play, how much they're learning. We will be continuously improving the learning program itself too. We're one of the few ed tech companies that incorporate the concept of universal design for learning to make it truly accessible to the variety of learning needs that children have. In addition to that, the gaming industry background that a lot of our founders and team members have tend to really focus on the experience of the child. And it's not just any child, it's typically the child who's on the very end of a normal distribution curve. If you build for the most struggling learners, everyone can learn well. After the XPRIZE, we actually took a step back and thought about, so what do we want to achieve? We shifted. We're now focusing on delivering learning outcomes. Why is this so important to you? Because we believe, and I'm sure you and many people who will be watching this, believe that education is a fundamental right for children. Part of our launching this work for us, really looking at education as a human right, the global community has talked about how key education is to all facets of life that if a child's educated, then they have healthier families, their communities are better. It's not just about that one child, it has these great ripple effects. And it's really the building block for so many other ways that someone can thrive in the world. One of the things I find so exciting about having been part of this competition and getting to see what you all these amazing innovators have done is we can actually move the needle here. We now know how to reach it and it's so heartening to hear that there are people who are finally saying, global development after large nonprofits, people who can scale saying, now we see it and now we can act. Ultimately, the government needs to be responsible in delivering quality learning to all of its citizens. So our goal now is to create powerful proof points, working with various organizations and ultimately convince governments that this is the way to do it, to reach the children that they currently cannot reach.


Well, I mean, I think anytime that we can get out into the practice field and be able to coach players, I think is, you know, is critical. I think that, you know, Robert, his experience and, you know, different places that he's been, you know, in his Centipede career and what he's done continue to improve. I think it's just, you know, he's been a great leader and then he's just, you know, he's doing what he can do right now. Getting on the field two days in a row for him though, how important is that to be able to bounce back from one practice to the next? Yeah, I mean, I think we're just always trying to look at the schedule, Corey, as far as what we're doing and tomorrow we'll be in a different schedule and come back on Thursday and, you know, everybody's got a different plan. So some guys come in in the morning and feel a certain way.  So they're conscious of, hey, maybe this guy, you know, he's working through something and, you know, they're just conscious of, you know, being around that person and let him work, let him get the stuff that we need in that team period. It looks as if Malik has already maybe made some adjustments to his delivery. He talked about footwork. How much already has he? Well, it's going to, you know, I think every day is going to be, you know, a learning process for all those rookies. Malik included and his ability to process and work through things quickly is, you know, your mind may know where to go. And then sometimes your body has to move with it and sink. And I think that's what they've been working on as they go through their individual drills and hoping that it carries over to the 7-on-7. Nice progress so far. Yeah, he's great attitude, willingness to work comes in early, you know, meets with all those guys and then take advantage of the reps that he gets. New receivers and tight ends for Ryan this year. How important is this time to kind of lay that foundation and get those guys all on the same page? I told Theresa it's always important anytime we can get out on the field and coach our guys and take advantage of working and hopefully the three weeks that we had in phase two, working on details and the techniques and fundamentals, you know, that has to now translate to the 7-on-7 stuff that we're doing. And if it doesn't, then we have to, you know, go back and show them, hey, we just did this for three weeks and now there's a body over there, maybe a man or maybe his own coverage. But we have to translate though. So we saw some of them yesterday, not enough of them. I think we probably saw more of them today. Traylon was a little bit in and out today. Is he making progress in your opinion from last time? Yeah, I mean, in my opinion, they all kind of come along differently. We're just trying to make sure that, you know, everything that he does, he's continuing to improve.  There's a lot of places that they line up and I think that he's working hard and he's trying to improve. Mike, with some of those things. Is that part of the thing that's for him? I'm sorry? Does he have allergy issues? I'm not going to talk about anybody's allergies to pollen right now. I think everybody's got allergies. Is that conditioning for Traylon? Just the reps that we put them in there. I think there's any limitations right now. Mike, how much different is it, Mike, for the second year guys and how much you hope those guys can make it jump after being around here for a year? I mean, I think that that's, you know, what we hope is that they took the coaching and the opportunity, experience, whatever they had last year looking, you know, going down that list of Caleb or Dylan or Racy and, you know, Molden and Naquan Jones and I know that there's other guys, Tori Carter, I'm just trying to think, but hopefully the experience that they did have, whatever that was in a game, trying to be more comfortable just coming into the building and knowing how things operate. Even looking at, like, Dylan Cole, somebody mentioned today, Dylan Cole, this was a player that was added midway through the season and it was always just continuing to play catch up and then, you know, having the offseason program to get some of these details just more vocal. You know, he's communicated more and I think just so much more comfortable and I think that's a good example to just, you know, having some of this, you know, foundation that's so critical. Mike Taylor said that it was important for him to be here with, to show the young guys kind of the way. How important and critical do you think it is for guys to be here to show that leadership to the younger players? I think it's critical anytime that we have an opportunity to coach the guys out on the field.  We feel strongly in the job that we can do to coach and develop players and to teach them. You know, we went through this conversation with the rookies and I think it's the same thing with the veterans or anybody.  They'll be conditioned and they'll be ready to go. So, as far as, you know, do I think it's important? I always think it's important when we get to coach players because that's what we do. That's why we come to work. And I think that the guys are here, they get something out of it. He's grown up a lot since last year. He's growing up a lot. You see the same thing? I do. I do. And again, Dez would be one of those other players that, you know, that Jim was talking about going into their second year. You see improvement each and every day. There's a great attitude, you know, continued to work with them and excited. And I know Ryan's, you know, and Logan and Malik are, you know, excited to be working with them. Tear Tar mentioned how he could already feel the competition level rising on that D line. How much have you seen the competitiveness overall, not just that in that specific position group, but the last couple of days? Well, I mean, it's professional football. And our job with 90 players or 91 or whenever we're going to end up with, you know, is to try to create competition at each position because that's going to make everybody better. And I try to tell them the ones that deserve to be here, they'll be here. And there's no set number of position players like, oh, we're going to keep this many defensive linemen or this many, if you deserve and you've earned the right to be here, John and I have to find a way to keep you here. What's been the most encouraging thing you've seen the last couple of days? Well, I would just say probably the improvement from yesterday to today. You know, I think that's the biggest thing is all the coaching points that we made after the meetings or after practice yesterday, which we'll do here in a little bit. I think that translated guys came in, you know, Ola, you know, came in with a great attitude, was out early, and then that carried all the way through practice.  I asked Taylor if he needed a drama free season and he kind of said, we all know that's just not possible. Probably not. You just kind of accept that as... No, I mean, I just think that there's always going to be distractions, whether that be with a player, that be with a family member, and not just, and I'm not just talking about Taylor, there's going to be things that come up that we have to deal with. So you can't eliminate distractions.  His attitude's been fantastic and I've enjoyed having him here and, you know, it's been good for everybody. Specifically for him, there's bound to be something that comes up. I think there'd be something that would come up for you, you know, this year, Paul, with your job or whatever's going on. So I don't know why Taylor or me would be any different. You've got a couple of open spots on the offensive line. How you envision maybe that process playing out from now until September, as far as mixing guys in and out and giving a lot of guys opportunities. Well, I think the ones, you know, they all are going to earn, they're all going to have an opportunity. You know, what they do with it will determine how many more opportunities they get. Try to find, you know, a good combination that's a winning combination and that gives them the best chance to succeed and help our football team. So I think that that's going to be probably pretty fluid. Jim, I think just throughout the entire offseason, it's hard to identify those guys right now. We're not in pads. You know, it's predominantly a passing camp and the runs that we are installing and running against our defense aren't at a pace that, you know, you could really identify anybody in the run game. Mike, in the early going, what are the initial impressions of Austin Hooper always kind of tried to acclimate himself? Yeah, I would say very positive. I think very coachable. And for a veteran player that's had success, that's, you know, much like Robert, on his third team, it's been really good to see. You know, this was a guy that was in California for a charity event for a great cause that donates money back to foster kids when they turn 18 and took a red eye to be here last week. So if that's any indication to the commitment that he has to us in trying to earn a respect of his teammates, I think that's a good start. Mike, you talked a lot about Atlas. You haven't had that in the last couple of years in the offseason. To have them all here the last month and to have that interpersonal, how much have you enjoyed it and do you already see a benefit to this time? I do. I love it. It's awesome. Carter's here. He can come. School's done.   And then just being able to work with players and communicate. And then these guys are building that connection with their teammates and with their coaching. Team mates pushing each other to get the edge. With all the guys that aren't here today, do you feel like your team this offseason has done a good job of getting the edge, maybe, on the other teams in the league? I mean, I think that the guys that are here have certainly done that. I have been in contact with everybody, you know, on our football team, and I know those guys are working. And so when they come back, we'll coach them. But our focus is, you know, the entire offseason has been with those players that are here that I feel like that's where it should be. And then, you know, when the ones that want to come back to any part that's voluntary or any part that's mandatory, you know, we'll give them the same, you know, coaching and the same, you know, level of commitment out there on the field. Do you ask guys to just check in at least and let you know their plans if they're not going to be here, just so you know? Well, I think when you get to this point and when you try to make this thing and try to have connections and relationships with them, you kind of, I hate to say I'm not responsible for them, but I feel like, you know, I'd like to know where they're at and that they're doing okay. So we check in and we communicate just like the ones that have been here. For some reason, something comes up. You know, we worry about them if it's 7.50 and we've used to seeing them every day at 7.50 before an eight o'clock meeting. You know, we'll try to track them down and say, hey, is everything okay? You know, it's not that, you know, if you're not coming, that's great. But we've seen you for three days and now all of a sudden we don't see you. You know, we just make sure that you're doing okay. So there's constant communication comfortable with where that's at, but then make sure the focus is on the guys that are here. He's working through much like Robert and just trying to build some confidence and continue that rehab process. But you just see how quickly his body developed when he was able to have somewhat of an off-season, whether it be with the back or unfortunately the knee. You know, he certainly looks different and doesn't look like his jersey's hanging on a coat hanger. Do you feel like there was entitlement in the organization? No, I've said that to our team since I've been here, Jared. I just maybe said it for the first time or you heard it for the first time on the radio. I've always said that. I've always tried to tell our guys that, you know, we don't want to think that we deserve something by not having worked for it. So that's something that we've always said and I hope that the players would echo that and that that would come across in how we've operated since I've been here.


In some far east countries like this, specifically in China and India, the air quality is absolutely terrible. The fumes are not just from the vehicles by the way, it's often because they have industries within the city. But something we can do in the UK is try to reduce our air pollution in the big cities. But there's no doubt about it. Cars are an essential part of our lifestyle. And whilst driving through cities like this may be nice, now what we're doing really, there's no doubt, is polluting. People have to breathe in what our car puts out. And we would really like to escape that. So imagine a city with all electric vehicles, EVs, even trucks. It would be much quieter and non-polluting. And really this must be the aim. But how practical is it? How sensible is it? And one thing is certain, you cannot trust governments to put in sensible policies. And this is what this episode is about. We will first explode some myths to do with electric cars. The biggest problem people have is called range anxiety. Will they get to where they want to go? Will the battery run out? Well, just to tell you, these days with lead companies, and there is really one company way ahead of the rest called Tesla, they're offering ranges of 350 miles or so, and some of them almost 400 miles. And they're being extended. However, range as defined here does not mean you can drive that far. It's just a standard test where you can compare the models. When it comes to the actual range you're going to get, let's just put a few factors in here. Your only source of energy is the battery. So when you turn the windscreen wipers on, you drain the battery more. On a cold day, if you've got your windscreen wipers on and your heater on, then that really drains the battery faster. Or in the summer where they're conditioning on, that drains the battery faster. So the actual range you're going to get may be only half, or even in extreme cases, less than half of the declared range here. And that has to be factored in, especially in the UK. You will often see figures like this. People travel less than one mile, 24% of journeys less than one mile. People travel one to two miles, 18% of journeys, and people travel 10 to 25 miles, some 12% of journeys. But all those short journeys normally would require a return trip. So for a start, we can double the distances. So it's very easy to mislead with statistics. However, we can agree that the vast majority of journeys like shopping are short distances and they're perfectly suited to electric vehicles. So what car range do we need for, say, short journeys like this? And so to leave residual and be safe, we need a car with, say, a claimed range under the standard definition of, say, 130 miles to do those journeys. And that is assuming that your car is fully charged when you leave the house. Now, if you make two or three trips in a day, that is not the case. If you don't fully charge it overnight, that is not the case. If you just come back from a long trip and then need to go on a short journey, that is not the case. So whilst a 130 mile range car would cover most of your journeys, that is really not the point. The real point is you still need a car that'll do long distance journeys as well. Otherwise, you'd have one car for short journeys and one car for long journeys. Pretty expensive thing to do to leave one car laying about a lot of the time for long journeys. The public and our needs actually demand versatility. There are, of course, all-electric cars like the Tesla Model 3 long range. I can do 348 miles as the standard distance. And so you'd be pretty safe in normal conditions of getting well over 200 miles out of it on a trip. Now, there are three significant issues we have to deal with. The first is charging. The next is the power grid. And thirdly, our batteries. We'll discuss charging first. Whilst I have no connection whatsoever with Tesla, I am going to use them throughout this video because they are way ahead of the competition at the moment. And so look into the future. Let's hope everyone else reaches their standard. As regards charging points on the road, they're distributed all over the UK and the car itself will tell you where they are and how much time you've got and so on to get there. Charging can be quite fast. And if you've got the all-electric sort of top models with the range of 300 and odd miles, that may be saying you're doing 250. Then as long as you're charging overnight or something, you're fine. But at charging points on the road, on the superchargers, you can actually fill up most of your battery inside 30 minutes and the car will even tell you when it's full on your phone so you can sit and have a coffee. Hence it's already possible to plan 500 mile trips because you know where the charging points are and they're very rapidly charging and that network will just grow. That is not the real issue with charging. The real issue is when you charge at home because your normal routine will be to arrive home from work and plug in the charger and charge overnight. Now you can't just use an ordinary 13 amp plug because it is simply too slow at charging. The car would never be charged by morning. So you've got to use something like a 7, a 13 or a 22 kilowatt charger. And what happens if you've got two cars? The typical cost of a charging point at home, it depends on the capacity, can be anything from about 700 pounds to about 2000 pounds. But there are millions of homes. They'll not be able to have any charger fitted because the power supply cannot take it without changing the distribution board and so on. Then of course there are the problems of flats and terraced houses. There are so many millions of homes that simply cannot have a charger installed. And you can't really think of putting a charger just outside your house on the pavement because there are many issues with that as well besides the incredible cost. I've even heard on thinking politicians say well you can go to your local garage which will now be a charging centre. So old honey, you have to take the car from your house and park it overnight in a garage. How big would that garage have to be? It would have to be maybe 20, 30, 40 times bigger than the current garage. And don't say well you can call into a fast charge on the way home because on the way home everyone will be doing that and there will be huge queues down each road for every garage and a half an hour's wait at the best when you get there. It does not make sense. So now we come to the second point which is the power grid. Basically there isn't enough generating power there to supply all this extra electricity so we'd have to build a lot more capacity into the system and that capacity which would have to be baseload is not being built. And now there's another problem. Even if you build a generating capacity the distribution system as it stands wouldn't cope. A typical example just take a housing estate and the capacity of the power cables go into that housing estate. If everyone's converting their petrol basically or diesel into electric power and having charging points then the actual supply to the housing estate is insufficient and so we'd have to update all the transformers, update all the distribution system. The costs are enormous and besides this by the way we'd be digging up an awful lot of your drives to put in these extra power cables. The cost of all this is huge. In all the planned cost of doing away with gas and going over to green energy in Britain is measured in the hundreds of billions of pounds and now to look at electric vehicle batteries. The batteries for the all electric cars are simply huge and heavy. They're the biggest cost of the car and they deteriorate at around about 2% per year so after five years you've lost 10% of your range and this is going to affect the second hand value as time goes on. However companies like Tesla are working on a million mile battery so maybe this will be overcome but the moment it is a significant cost of owning an electric car. But hold on. We would need to expand the world's battery production by over a thousand times. The shortages that are already occurring are just the tip of the iceberg. Nickel, an essential ingredient, takes five to seven years to open up a mine and we already have a nickel shortage. Many raw materials are going to be in short supply and their price is going to rise. This is going to be the controlling factor for the car industry getting hold of a battery. And of course the huge disposal problems down the road of these batteries are going to be tremendous. So the government's number one target here is to reduce CO2 emissions. So let's see does it meet that target. Research from Imperial College London showed that an electric car with a claimed range of over 200 piles never pays back its CO2 in its lifetime and of course these days the range is much higher than that and the battery is much more powerful. There is no chance of electric cars ever repaying their CO2 footprint. Yet in some blind zealous fashion the government just carry on with the target whilst the actual implementation of it is doing the exact opposite. So I'm afraid the government's number one target of reducing CO2 well it doesn't even hit the board. It actually increases CO2. And besides the huge disposal problems at the end of life of these batteries which have not been solved as yet the batteries themselves emit a tremendous amount of CO2. The demand on the limited resources for batteries is going to simply increase the price over time and already electric vehicles are around about 50-60% more than the average vehicle. So far I've spent about 10 minutes of your time explaining all the problems with electric vehicles. So now let's look at the solutions. Let's look in a positive manner and see how they can be used to meet our objectives. And as we start at the programme with air pollution let's see how electric vehicles can help us in those cities to reduce that air pollution dramatically. The solution is to produce hybrid cars so that they charge their own batteries when they're normally used using petrol or diesel. But when they enter a city they switch over to electric. That is the way forward. That is the way to reduce pollution in cities. It gets over the charging problem at home on all the huge costs associated with it. It gets over having to produce an awful lot of extra power generation and huge amounts of extra distribution costs and disruption. It overcomes everything and it gives us clean air. Such a vehicle could do all the short journeys to shops etc. electrically. And you could easily charge it at home using your normal 13 amp socket. It's a simple solution. It's a practical solution. And it works. And make no mistake, even this solution would squeeze the world's resources tremendously and may not be possible. It still leaves the door open for fully electric cars at the top end but not for the mass market. That is the path forward. So what has the UK government done? It actually banned them and only allowed fully electric cars in the future with all those problems. Basically the government policy is extremely expensive and it does away with the average ability of the normal family in the UK to afford a car. That is what it will do. It will restrict your mobility and restrict your movement and it won't even achieve its main objective. It will not work and for the reasons I've outlined in the first 10 minutes of this video it will fail.  In failing it will actually leave us with more polluted cities and in failing the good part is it will actually produce more CO2 which I of course and by now you should know want more of. In our target dream city we began with we only showed you cars and light vehicles. Now as soon as you start to scale up electric vehicles you start hitting with a big problem because the battery weight increases as a proportion of the weight of the whole vehicle so as whereas you can get away with it with light cars and small vans as you've even scaled up to a truck the amount of charging time needed per day starts at sort of 12 hours and so becoming a real commercial problem unless you have dedicated vehicles just for the city that travel relatively slowly. A 500 mile range truck actually would lose about 30% of its load capacity because of the battery. It would cost £180,000 for the battery and take 12 hours to charge therefore removing the truck from the road for a considerable amount of time. It's about the limit of commerciality I would think. To scale bigger than that just becomes un-economic. Now taking planes for example an Airbus 320 has 266 megawatt hours of fuel energy. The battery to hold that amount of energy would be 19 times more than the maximum takeoff weight of the aircraft and assuming you could charge at say 18 times faster than a Tesla supercharger it would take 88 days to charge the battery for a new flight so you can only use it once every three months or so but then of course the poor plane couldn't take off. So now let's go even bigger and go to a container ship the battery to run such a ship would weigh a million tonnes and be 5.6 times the weight of the ship and would take some two years to charge. In this short simple video on electric vehicles I have tried to give you some feel about the boundaries that exist the limitations of electricity in transport. Of course government after government in the UK get this wrong we're told that diesel's good for us and then we're told it's not and when we're told it's not they penalise us for it it's the same happening again the electrification of vehicles above all what I'm keen on is reducing pollution and in particular with transport we do this to make a pragmatic simple approach to the problem but instead of that we have governments that follow doctrines that don't even achieve their own objectives.
