All right Thank you. This is a capital project to Further replace six heaters that are in our garage That need replacement. We did smaller quantity of heaters in the past But these are the last six units that need funding Or that need approval for replacement The amount is 19,320 dollars And the recommendation is to award to the lowest responsive bid, which was submitted by Excuse me if it's hockey plumbing and heating incorporated of Plymouth Any questions from committee members? Is there a motion to approve? Motion to approve. Do you move to approve? Is there a second second by marcus. Any further discussion?  Aye Aye Anyone opposed chair votes. Aye. That is approved Okay, 3.3 resolution number 38 dash 20 dash 21 document 4.5 resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into an agreement with cassock roofing incorporated for the complete replacement of the roof at the shoreline metro transportation facility, Derek Thank you again this project is To do a roof deck replacement on our main facility that houses our administrative offices and our vehicles We were awarded a grant through the federal transit administration that would pay for Just about 50 percent a little less than 50 percent of the total cost of this project Um, as you can see on the ioc form, uh, cassock roofing was the lowest bid and the recommendation then is to award this project to them We do have a budget of 750 000 dollars total on this with the city Funding 399 000 and the remaining roughly 350 000 coming through that federal grant There may be a balance uh allotted on this project and if so, uh, we may be able to take advantage of additional Repairs that our roof also requires but uh, the initial project is to Do the main large area of our roof? Of our facility with a new roof I have a question on this Marcus Thank you, mr. Chair I wanted to know if there were any plans to put solar panels on this roof. Was it considered? Was it? looked at as an option Marcus no, it was not. Uh, it was not factored into this project um, perhaps maybe just a 30 second overview, but our facility Is approaching 50 years of of life? And so the thought on this is that this roof will not last us The next five years And we do not see funding for our facility in the next five years. So we do need to move forward with Replacing the roof at this time However, the long-term approach of our building would be to Ultimately build a new facility that is more adequate with today's standards Both for energy and for maintenance purposes. So the longer to answer your question longer term approach would incorporate alternative I guess alternative fueling such as solar for the building and then as well as cng and Alternative fuels such as electricity for the buses themselves Thank you very much. Is there a motion to approve? Motion to approve Dean moves to approve Marcus seconds. Any further discussion on this item?  Hi Hi Hi, anyone opposed chair vote side that item is approved. Thanks, Derek All right, move it along 4.1 general ordinance number 5-20 21 um document number 6.1 ordinance repealing and recreating section 26-907 in article 8 division 4 of chapter 26 of the municipal code Entitled sewer and water services director Bevel Yeah, I believe Joe Trueblood is participating Virtually and he will lead this discussion. Thank you. Joe. How's it going? Yes, good alderman sirenson Thank you the requested change um follows approval by the Wisconsin public service commission last week of the water utilities led service line replacement financial program So this program now It's authorized by the state will allow us to spend water revenues to replace led Laterals that are not owned by the utility. So this is a big change a big step forward um One of the things the state wanted us to do was to switch from using municipal assessments Which we had done in the past for water lateral replacements And instead they want the water utility to operate a loan program and this would be for led service line replacements and customers would qualify for a grant of up to 50 percent of the cost um not to exceed $2,500 And then the remainder of the cost would be funded by a no interest six-year loan to the property owner So instead of using the municipal assessments as has been done. We would now simply be issuing loans directly by the water utility from the water utility And then those customers would be paying those back over six years um Those are the primary elements of the change to that otherwise pretty lengthy ordinance um It does also discuss The number of qualifying entities You know, we're not aware of any daycares or schools that still have led laterals But if one of those were to be discovered they would immediately qualify and there are other Property owners listed as well that would qualify So I'd be happy to field any any questions on the changes or the program from the committee. Okay Are there any questions for drill? I do have a question shoot So coming from the real estate background with these six-year loans Are those going to be filling up on the current properties? Like a letter when they ask for are there any outstanding charges and such for when property transfers before the six years is up? Yes Assistant city attorney Cameron and Chuck Adams had worked with us on the process and and we settled on a notice of lien process Which would be filed and then would become Callable upon property transfer Perfect. Thank you any other Questions and sorenson. Yes, thomas So there was one tweak that was necessary as a result of the psc approval last week. Okay The the original version of the ordinance that was sent in Was based on the guidance we'd gotten at that point. They did ask for Joe is it two or three minor changes? um to relating to Some clarifications to remove words saying whose determination is final and the word priority So there's a couple of minor tweaks that we would recommend to ensure that we're in compliance with the With the psc approval. Okay. So are you requesting just us making these amendments right now then? That would be the the preference and then that can be incorporated into the version that goes to council In a few weeks for approval. Okay. Um, so Do you want us to make the the amendments or should we just make the motion to approve with the staff recommendations? And then send us the amended document. How would you rather do that thomas? I think to actually make the The changes and I can I can read those out and someone can say so moved at the end if that would be helpful Okay, so this is what we'll do so we'll make a motion to approve it first and then we'll make a motion to amend it And then we'll vote through the amendment. So we'll we'll follow the good old All right, there's been a motion to approve. Is there a second? All right, marcus has motioned to approve dina seconded it now thomas would um, you had some recommended amendments that needs to be made on this document So the the recommended motion to approve would be to amend the general ordinance So as to remove the word whose determination is final from section section 26 dash 106 subsection k And the word priority from subsection from section 26 dash 1006 slow down Both of which are changes to section six of the general ordinance Is there a such motion to amend? Motion to amend All right, there's been a second. So moved amendment in a second Any discussion on the amendment? All right, seeing none on the amendment all those in favor of approving the amendment, please state. Aye. Aye Aye Anyone opposed chair votes aye that amendment is approved So now we're back on the main motion that's been amended Are there any discussion on the amended main motion? Seeing none all those in favor of approving the motion as amended, please state. Aye. Aye Aye Anyone opposed chair votes aye that is approved All right, thank you All right next meeting july 14th Seeing that we've exhausted the agenda. Is there such motion to adjourn? Motion to adjourn Motion by dean second by marcus all those in favor of adjourning, please state. Aye Aye Aye Anyone opposed chair votes aye. We are adjourned at 546. Thank you everybody. Have a great night


فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بدا بدا وياله من شراف عظيمي ابن أمو دا وون ريتر دا عمر ابنه مورا عمر ابنه مورا هو تابعي كالو يحبونه they used to like a يختم القرآن من أول الليلي they used to like to finish the Qur'an again the first of the night which is again مغرب you finish the Qur'an then أو من أول النهاري or from the beginning of the day which is again فجر فجر you read the whole Qur'an and مغرب you read the whole Qur'an that's what they used to like to do أبي حماد غزالي ستيماً، ازوى أبي عمر مررى ديني.  في العنبك قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم منقام بعشر آيات لم يختم من الغافلين ومنقام بمئة آية كتبة من القانتين ومنقام بألف آية كتبة من المقنطين رواوبودا وودا وغيره وحكث سعلبي عن ابن عباس رضي الله تعالى عن ما قال من صلى بالليل ركعتين فقد باء فقد باءة لله ساجدا وقائمة أقل عن قصصة في رسائل القرآن باستخدام القرآن الآية الآن يتصل إلى الأمر رسائل القرآن ونائتا وحاولة قرآن وحاولة قرآن ونائتا وهذا is a very powerful point which is a student of knowledge who is seeking knowledge who wants to become a scholar who wants to elevate to that status and he doesn't pray he does not stand up at night time this person needs to evaluate himself and he needs to question himself am I serious about being a student of knowledge am I even serious of embarking on the path of seeking knowledge am I because I've never read the biography of any scholar if a person tries to read the biography of the علماء any book of the biography of the scholars I mentioned you will never come across a scholar's biography that was mentioned except what? except that praying at night was mentioned in his life this was the nooms for them which is the concept of قيام الليل and then praying at night then praying at night time because praying at night time brothers even if it's little it's an indication of something very powerful and that is the true essence of what sincerity is if a person is actually going to stand up at night time and pray it's a living example that you're a sincere person because no one else will stand up at night or there's no one to show us to you're all alone the students should strive to recite more of what were earned by night and especially during the night prayers Allah says not all of them are alike a party of the people of the scripture stands for that which is right they recite the verses of Allah during the hours of the night prostrating themselves in prayer they believe in Allah in the last day they enjoy Islamic montheism and adherence to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and forbid a monka polytheism, disbelief and disobedience to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم they hasten to do good deeds and they are among the righteous so this ayah is that that the author brought is basically talking about from the people of the scripture Allah says there are a group who are standing they recite in the Quran they're reading and they're praying there are many verses in the Quran that support this Allah says about the righteous people whenever they go into their beds and they tuck themselves in and they sleep because there is consistent fear in their hearts and there is that hope for Jannah they can't really go to full sleep so they get up and they jump out of their beds and they pray so this is a Sima Sima means a characteristic known by among known for the people of علم a student of knowledge he is not going to make it through being a student of knowledge if he doesn't pray at night أليما محمد رحمه الله أليما محمد رحمه الله a student of knowledge came to him and when the student of knowledge came to أليما محمد رحمه الله أليما محمد put water outside for him he slept at Imam Ahmad's house and Ahmad got him water so he told the student go to sleep wake up when you wake up use this water so the student went and he he slept أليما محمد رحمه الله slept he woke up Imam Ahmad he prayed his Qiyam and so he when you pray your Qiyam is recommended to then lie down before Fajr comes in because of the fact that you're going to have to fight with yourself again to wake up and the Ajar is connected to this hardship so when Imam Ahmad woke up he's now expecting that that water was used so he can bring fresh water but he had seen that the previous water wasn't used so Imam Ahmad said to the boy طالب علم ليس له وردو من الليل you're a student of knowledge and you haven't got a portion of the night it's missing from you this is not something that should be missing from you الله says in the Quran و بالأسحاري هم يستغفرون and they are at night time asking their Lord for forgiveness the reason why the student of knowledge is because this is the time Allah comes down ينزل ربك your Lord comes down this time and he's saying something that you as a student of knowledge need which is هل من دعين is there a caller is there someone who's begging me and I will give him what he wants you're now a student of knowledge and what you yes what you wanted is definitely to become a person of knowledge right to become an Alim a person who understands the Deen of Allah here you have your Lord coming down he hasn't sent angels down he hasn't delegated this job to anyone else he took on himself الله سبحانه وتعالى came down صح and when Allah سبحانه وتعالى came down you are here snoring and you're a student of knowledge you're not asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى for what to increase your knowledge and to allow you to understand the secrets of knowledge you're not so it's worrying the path that you're on is a worrying path now it is narrated in the two most authentic books of Bukhari and Muslim that the Messenger of Allah said what an excellent person would be he would pray during the night this is after this حديث is basically حفصة who is Dotaishi or what's her brother's name Abdullah Ibn Omar right Abdullah Ibn Omar told his sister a dream that he had last night Abdullah Ibn Omar he told his sister حفصة that he had a dream when he told her the dream she went and told the dream to the Prophet and from that the Prophet realized he sleeps at night the Abdullah Ibn Omar he sleeps at night and probably doesn't pray so the Prophet said a statement he said Abdullah Ibn Omar is a noble man but his nobility would have increased لو كان يصلي من الليل if he only prayed at night he would have been more of a noble person if he had a portion of that if he had portion of the night and when Abdullah Ibn Omar was informed of this and he was told this he never ever ever left قيام الليل never Abdullah Ibn Omar from that day onwards was an individual who came at night and never missed نعم here the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said to Abdullah Ibn Omar Abdullah Ibn Omar بعص the Prophet said to him لا تكن مثل فلانين don't be like so and so كان يقوم الليل he used to stand at night ثم تركه when he stopped doing it الله و سبحانه وتعالى he truly loves a consistent action of the slave حب الأعمال إلا الله أدوامها وإنقلها the best of actions to Allah is that which is consistent even if it's little you don't have to pray with the Quran قيام الليل you don't as long as you're praying and you don't stop والله as little as two raka'a and a witness enough and you do that for the rest of your life as a student of knowledge والله that's normal then I have to be 20 raka'a 21 and all of the Quran and one raka'a and nothing every single day read two raka'a and what and one witness and even if you want in that time that two raka'a read if you don't know much Quran read قصار الصور these small stories that you know no problem no issue فتق الله wherever you can read but don't leave it some people that believe that they have is that I'm either going to be 100% or zero is that correct or concept in the eyes of Allah that doesn't exist because he who created you Allah didn't make you 100% the concept of believing that I have to do 100% do you know what it comes from it believes that you can fulfill Allah's rights which you can't you can never do that whatever you do is always deficient you can't fully fulfill Allah SWT what He has given you just your eyes the blessings that are connected are greater than anything you could possibly do but for you to think that I'm going to pray this much you're in your heart somehow and you believe or I can't pray is that you believe that this is the amount that I will fulfill Allah's rights and I suffer to worry about نعم الله أكبر the Prophet SAW the order of believing and his pride what are the youngsters in the street trying to look for they're looking for honor and respect I'm going to get respect on the turf I'm going to get respect on the turf on my road and my neighborhood they're going to know who I am brother I'm leaving behind my name my name is going to be raised here these people are going to know and no he doesn't do anything he gets remembered but not in a good way صح but this hadith tells us the honor of the believer is connected to قيام الله are you looking for honor شرف الله told us where it lies يرفع الله الذين آمنوا منكم والذين أوتوا العلمة درجة those who have knowledge Allah raises them صح وصل الله سبحانه وتعالى شرف المؤمنين قيام الله انا قيام الله that's a person who is noble I saw some mashaikh due to the excessive qiyam that they prayed so some of the mashaikh due to how much they prayed their legs from the side of their foot the bone here on the right can you see where I'm touching the bone there now الله because of the qiyam and the weight and the age that they've reached too much الله praying I remember listening to Sheikh Mohammed Nasser one time he said to his students who's fasting today and they were like no we're not fasting I said I'm old I'm old and I'm at this age I haven't left fasting you guys are shabs youngsters and you're not fasting and this is the thing once you become addicted to something even when you're young الله he brothers it becomes a reflex action for you when you grow old that's what when you're young teaches yourself every good it will become the norms it won't stop anymore it will become habitual it will be something you can never leave of anymore that's your habit those people even if they wanted to they won't leave the qiyam it might be you started something at the age of 20 25 and you reached 80 you can't stop that anymore become part of your life it's become part of your life and as I said before brothers consistency doesn't mean that you don't leave it sometimes أبنو قايي mentions that the consistency means that the majority of the times you're doing it and the times that you do leave it does not negate the consistency of it as long as the overwhelming majority of the times you're doing this qiyam you're standing up and you're praying now there are many other hadiths and narrations regarding the virtues of the night prayer I would obviously additionally once said there was a time when a man would come home at night listen to this here brothers and sisters and tell them to sit down tell them to sit down and seek knowledge about what she's doing listen to this story this concerns brothers and sisters wives and it concerns husbands pay attention well look what he says أبنو أحواصل الجشمي will I see a jushami once said there was a time when a man would come home at night and hear from within his house a man would come to his house he would open his door look at the kind of households that they had and look at the households that today we have you come into the house music is playing television is on to bam the daughters over there she got headphones on listening to music and whatnot look at the household that they used to come out from and now you realize wellahi brothers and sisters the body what's the strongest organ in the body the heart what is the strongest thing in the community people's households it's the heart of the body the household is the heart of the community فإن استقام البيت if the house is intact and it's good the community are intact وإن خبوث البيت if the house is corrupt then the whole society are bad pay attention to this ابن عز الحالف he wrote a book called قواعد الأحكام في مصالحي الأن pay attention to this he talks about the benefits and the harms and he brings sleep you know what he mentions he mentions that the rights that the Muslims have on one another the rights you have on me and my son I cultivate him and I give him good تربية because later I'm gonna let him loose in society when he grows old right he's gonna rob you he's going to cause you havoc he's gonna take from your children's money yeah it's rights that you have on me are you with me brothers this person comes back to the community he's part of the community if he's a cancel and he's an illness in the community then he's gonna cause the whole community corruption true or false have you not seen one kid in primary school messes up the whole classroom finishes the whole classroom true or false he causes the biggest he dismiss guides so much youngsters and kids and he takes with him صح everybody remembers that one kid that one جهل kid in the class wouldn't listen do that this the teacher and somehow a week or two later he's got a crowd of kids following him doing the same thing that he does there was a kid called Darren in my class he was like that مشكلة and he misguided وفود اقوام and he's by himself look how many people meet with him and that's the society and that's how a community are so pay attention to the household and how serious you make sure that your household is look at the house that they come to and how much they worked on the household ايه فضلك what he says ان الرجل لا يتركوا ألف سطات طروقان يلقم in the house one is praying there, one is this, this is the household that he has, look at it from the recitation of the Qur'an what then is the matter with people today that they feel secure against that which those who came before them feared this is what they were, their wife was so scared she wouldn't, our wives telephone, speaking to another, gossiping, backbiting, chatting spending her time talking, unnecessary thing, what's up قدر الله ماش, same with the brothers everyone, no exception, no excludes from this they were like Allah they were coming to the house, the Qur'an is being played here ders is going over there, somebody is studying the Deen of Allah here come into your house, oh you see it's going on that's something to be, so look what he says after that he says how is it that these people who are on the streets who are gallisters, wannabes thugs 50 inch plasma television, you bring it to your house, really and then you wonder why my kids so misguided you bought your kid at the age of 10 you gave him a mobile phone you don't, there's no parental control on it you see you've not once asked him to give you a check up what's he doing on the phone والله I was 18 or 19 when I first got a phone والله that's how old I was and even when I got it at 18, 19, I think I got it I was like mama are you sure I thought it was, you know my mom sometimes do something she's like take it, take it, huh, قادر there will be severe consequences because of it so I thought it was one of them ones where I'll beat it up for it later are you with me right now there is just this freedom kids will tell you even one of my family members she sent her daughter at the age of 8 or 9 she sent her to a trip in France brothers I never ever went on a trip my mom the trip was somewhere close these little places and these little places it will go, no problem and that she was like it depends if that you know that series was called cry much UK if that came on and something like that was my mom heard about it and some you know some of the aunties told them somebody got killed the child was especially that yeah I don't remember if you guys remember Damilona Taylor do you guys remember him yeah who remembers Damilona Taylor that little black kid that got killed in school that was happening in school my mom was never letting us go know it the point is that if you see parents today they that was a daughter she sent her daughter to France and that daughter went her parents she signed it I'm like is this right what you're doing I honestly was extreme you don't understand anything how much how much did you sit with them and converse with them a chat with them what they're picking up in school boys are there she's mixing with boys she's seeing them she's going up seeing this is a norm her personality and then once she reaches 18-19-20 you're like why are you doing this for she's your daughter only from the top now inside somebody else has programmed her والله بالله it's very dangerous so why is it that those people who are doing that find safety they're not worried and the ones whose wives and kids are reading Quran and they're benefiting and they're learning the Deen they ask it how is that the case he asks himself this question he's asking himself how is this possible brothers am I just speaking or does this make sense is this a reality that you guys see it's a reality I don't believe anyone can get out of this all of us me included we go home we've got family members who are yeah who feels like their house is like this والله increase you if your house is like this and give us as well but this is worrying that when you go into your house some people will say to you والله بالله be in all these streets and be in my own household the facade that's going on the facade that my household it contains that it consists of that the times of the trials and tribulations what will we command to do run to our households is like running away from my house is the way the والله بالله بالله بالله بالله نعم if you ever know we if you ever know we comments we say to the Quran it's a sign and so I would like to see questions try to mean what it is what it is that has made those of us who are safe against that which their predecessors fear والله it's a good question and if you have a household rather than a sister والله you need to work on your household you need to work on your household that the dean of والله has been towards get rid of you know the brothers you know how to work on your house just repel evil from the house wait for being about good just get rid of evil just do that with a facet wait for جلب المصالح the first step that you need to do is get rid of every evil that's in the house with wisdom with discussion explanation dialogue lesson bring about better alternatives another thing brothers that you need to realize is that a lot of people say to you I've spoken to my family members I do this I do that but the reason why people don't take care take what you say serious is you come and you talk and you leave and that really doesn't have much weight where were you before does that make sense to change things and bring about differences you have to have financial contribution towards the house والله money talks you pay things in the house you help financially towards your sorry your family members the people you're helping once you do that when you talk come on come on follow and here that in line with what you have to say you bring about better alternatives comes you say Look I've got a car ready for you guys and let's go I'm taking the guys out let's enjoy ourselves as a family and you take your family out and you do things with them they see your hands on you buy clothes for your nephews هل أنت معي؟ when you do that you have now got the rights to say why is this happening how is this happening what can you can talk now you have a majority of the rights to speak or else you are just a bully in their rights an authoritative individual who just wants to exercise I'm a control freak that's what they look to see us you come now let me guess that's what they'll say to you as soon as they see you or let me guess everything's haram and they'll mock you and they'll make you look bad and everything صح and the reason is because if you look at Sierra and you read biography and I always mention this you look at عبد المطالب about طالب they run the people because they used to look after the hijachi they were the custodians of the Ka'bah صح كفار but why would people listen to Abu Talib the prophet's grandson a grandfather yeah why why did they respect him because when the hujaj came the people of Hajj the food that he would make the three that the Prophet ﷺ said it was the best food of the Arabs you know what three means that the Prophet ﷺ said عائشة رضي الله عنها she is like the three over the other food how she is towards women you know what three means three means three things that are component of each other it's bread and it's meat and it's soup when they get put together and it gets crushed together and it gets mixed together the Arabs they loved this they loved it eating was the best food that anyone can serve you with and he used to do this for them the hujaj people of Hajj Abu Talib used to do this for them and he used to feed them this what would the people do when he spoke عبد المطالب people would listen to him and they would take his command serious Abu Talib the Prophet ﷺ caused everything he caused but what was he able to do he was still able to stop them to an extent true or false how he had influence in the community he had something in the community so when you do something for the community and you actually are genuinely doing something then when you talk people will take what you say serious but if you're only taking from the community you're only taking from your family you're more of a burden on your family you're living in the house not paying no rent and you're telling your sister and your cousins and your nephews and you're saying to them watch my clothes and do this for me and they'll eat you like it's حمام fear Allah I'll stop doing this you're a burden yeah get out of our face get somewhere go move out don't take your serious does that make sense so that's why it's important


OK, we're good to go. Hello, everyone. Oh, come on. It's early, I know. Hello, everyone. There we go. I thought I was going to have to tell one of my famous developer jokes, then. Do you want to hear it anyway? All right. All right, let's go with this one. How do you come for the JavaScript bug? You can solve it.  I tell you awesome developer jokes, and I have an entire list, so be warned. So I am Stephen Cooper, also known as Developer Steve on loads of social media networks, even on Weibo, which is Chinese Facebook, for those that don't know it. I'm the developer advocate for PayPal and Braintree. May have heard of those two companies. Do a quick introduction with them. And thank you. Awesome turnout. Thank you for coming down to see IoT commerce. And I do have a Drupal commerce module that I've built and will be releasing. Well, it's already on my GitHub, but I'll get to that in a little bit. So two companies that I'm from may have heard of this one. It's been around a little while. PayPal. Of course, everyone's got a PayPal account. Almost everyone has a PayPal account. Some amazing APIs. We've got loads and loads of APIs. Everything right through from basic transactions, right through to chain payments, and some really cool stuff. A company you may not be so familiar with. Everyone heard of Braintree? Yay. It's getting traction here. So Braintree is really cool. It's built by developers for developers. And it lets you take PayPal, credit card, now Apple Pay as well, when that launch is in Australia. All in one little easy integration. It's like 12 lines of code. It's all secure. No credit cards are stored on developers' websites. Everything's stored on Braintree's side. You get a token back. It's really cool. It's the easiest demo I do in a minute 20 in front of loads of people. So heaps cool. And of course, last year, we also announced partnerships to do Bitcoin. Really exciting. So Bitcoin's coming. Yay, Bitcoin. Everyone loves Bitcoin. But today, I'm going to talk to you about something I really love, Internet of Things. And as a full-stack developer, Internet of Things basically allows me to take my digital world and move it offline and allow users to break it in whole new ways. But it also allows me to build some really cool interfaces. And particularly in e-commerce space, it allows me to build some really good interfaces and ways to interact with users in, quote, the real world. But to understand where we've come from, to understand where we are, we need to understand where we came from. And for the most part, and I know it's kind of debated a little bit, but the most part, the internet began here. So in 1969, when two computers were connected, host to host for the first time, yeah, they spawned the internet. And it's a fun place. As we know, we live it, we work it. We do everything inside this digital universe. So the internet, in effect, has become the world that we reshape as we see fit. As long as we can create it, as long as we can think it, we can build it inside the internet. And we've gone into whole new ways recently with the whole virtual reality and virtual worlds that we're creating. But we've hit on a limitation. So the internet's become our digital universe. But just like Alice, there's a screen in the way. There's a barrier between us being able to physically be part of this digital world. And we really want to be part of our digital world because it's our world. And we reshape it as we see fit. Mobile's been a great way for us to make the internet mobile. But again, there's limitations between us and our world. And augmented reality, which I absolutely love, like it's the geekiest thing ever, is a great way for us to interact with that. But it becomes a window into a world we can't touch. We can't feel. We can't be fully part of or immersed into it. Ooh, there's a dropout on the mic. And of course, virtual reality. So this is metaspace. It's similar to some of the other augmented reality experiences we've seen. Only that it has basically like an elite motion or sensors in the very top part of the device. So you can reach in and touch and sort of interact with what you can see through the glasses. But again, we can't fully feel or be immersed into that world because you can't feel anything. It's digital. You can see it, but your brain's going, there's nothing there. I can't touch it. Anyone here used Oculus Rift and some of their headsets? Yeah? Yeah. First thing you do when you put that on, like you do the roller coaster or some of the basic demos, your brain's going, wow, we're going really fast. And your legs go, no, we're not. Because you can't fully be immersed into that. So welcome to the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is a fun place. You took the red pill, right? And so here's some examples of some of the cool stuff we've seen coming out of the Internet of Things recently. And I absolutely love this. When I saw this one, I was like, please, take my money. This is the Nixie. So the Nixie was recently demoed at CES. So the Nixie came out of an IBM Intel hackathon about a year ago. It was one of 20 finalized projects. It started off as a pair of glasses, you can tell, right? Ended up as a wearable drone watch.  So it's constantly taking, it's the ultimate selfie stick. It's constantly taking pictures, constantly taking video. You can control it from your phone so you can detach it from you and have it sort of fly around wherever. Oh, there was another slide I know we put in there. But recently, I kind of had a thought about this. And everyone's really interested in this. At CES, there was a load of noise being made about it. Ever remember five years ago when conferences, everyone had their smartphones out, and there was pictures of entire audiences doing this and just a sea of screens? We're going to have swarms of little Nixies flying like everywhere at conferences. It's going to get crazy. We're going to end up having no fly zones around stages. It's totally going to be a thing. And drone wars, that's a whole other thing. Conference drone wars, there'll be casualties, no. Brad the toaster, now extras, I've got a load of swag. I have an entire bag of swag here because evangelist, advocate, that's what we do. 45 kilos of luggage and 20 of its swag. Anyone that can tell me where this is from as I go through it, but this is Brad the toaster. So Brad will do everything he can to get you, or it can, to get you to have toast. It'll wiggle its little handle, it'll vibrate across the desk. If you ignore it long enough, it will actually contact other brads in the area to find out how often their owners have toast. If you still keep ignoring it, it will actually contact the postal service and get it delivered to a new owner. Anyone know what show that's from? Yes? Yeah, come see me after. I've got special swag for you. I never put that slide in because it's a bit of a cult show and, yeah, anyway. Yay! So this one, sorry. They did, but everyone loves Brad. So this is something really cool. I found this, I love going to maker spaces. You never know what you're gonna find. I went to the one at the Foot Screen Maker Lab about a month ago and there was a full-size mech sitting there on the floor and I was like, wow, okay, sure. There's a full-size robotic mech. But yeah, they found this in Singapore. So Maker Space in Singapore teaches students how to make smart tables. Now that's just an off-the-shelf IKEA, I'm not gonna try and pronounce the name of it, but that's just an off-the-shelf IKEA table you buy for like $60 with Arduino's built into it so that you put advertising material on the table and as people take the material off, it knows how many it has left. Send you an alert to tell you it's getting low.  But yeah, great way to teach students how to build something that they can expand, build on, like create whole new things, whole new internet of things is gonna spawn from just something so basic, so simple. And so the opportunities are endless. By 2020, 50 billion IoT devices on the planet. Think about what that's gonna be built into like around us. These things are gonna know more about us than we know about ourselves. It's basically going to be 26 smart objects for every person on this planet. So these things are going to be everywhere. They're going to be in fridges, in brad the toasters, in Nixie's, in cars, well, CES this year, we saw a load of new internet of car things sort of exploding and being able to swipe and interact with your car in whole new ways which is gonna look weird in traffic. And one thing I guess developers are starting to realize is you don't know whether you're going to be interacting with a fridge, a brad, a Nixie, a person, or people are going to be trolled by their fridges in whole new ways. And so e-commerce, which has been absolutely massive until now, like in Australia, the numbers are huge for e-commerce usage. Interacting with internet of things or IoT commerce, as I like to call it, it's whole new opportunities, like whole new ways that users can be interacting with things. And so here's some ways that my team's been building payments into IoT, instead of playing. So this colleague in Spain, IoT Candy Dispenser, which is really cool. I should really speed this video up, though. It's a little bit long. So essentially this has a Spark Core built into it, tiny little computer, it's about, what are they, about $60, $70 to buy here. Responsive app, of course, gotta have responsive, everyone's mobile these days. Window into the internet. That's the V0 integration right there. So you can put in credit card, you can use PayPal. And he's actually integrated Twitter as well, so you can put in your Twitter name. No, now no one copied on that credit card. That's our secret developer credit card. It has unlimited credit. Candy will come out. It's a pretty sweet machine. Aha, that wasn't what I prepared earlier. And then it will actually send you a tweet. Go to the next slide. Yeah, there we go. So colleague in Brazil, I haven't got the specs on this one yet. But basically it has a Raspberry Pi and a Arduino built into the remote control car. And you use an app they build on Android, iOS, to rent the radio controlled equipment. So you can actually drive the rent, pay, plug in with your PayPal, do a transaction and be able to drive it around, be able to, yeah, it would work for just about anything. You could build that into drones, Nixie's, Brad the Toasters. Yeah, really cool. And so something that I've now taken through, what's been through, seven countries down here, so I couldn't get any higher. I've taken an Arduino yarn and a thermal printer and credit, okay, magic word. Open sesame, I hope there's toys in there. So yeah, I've taken Arduino yarn and a thermal printer, $120 off the shelf, 99 cents for the high quality box, and built a e-commerce printer so that you can take an order on a website, in this case, Drupal Commerce, woohoo. And as soon as an order comes through, a receipt prints out. So for cafes, this means that they could have little box sitting on the shelf somewhere in the kitchen or where they do their order processing. Receipt prints out, okay, sure. See, internet of things, woohoo. Yeah, so as soon as you get an order through, receipt prints out, wow, is this room possessed? Is that Brad the Toaster trying to tell me what's toast? If it catches fire, I'm out of here. Yeah, so as soon as an order comes through, receipt prints out and they can fulfill the order, like really, really simple, really quick off the shelf. So how that's built? I have, there's two components. There's the website side of things, HTML, JS, and PHP, of course, well, in this case, it's Drupal. API, I'm using client token to generate that funky little box that you saw load with the PayPal credit card and I'm doing a transaction, of course. Hardware side, I've got PHP and a C++ sketch and API transaction search. So the data that actually gets saved, the cart data that gets created on the website side, that's storing as part of the brain tree transaction, which I'll get into, and then it's pulled back out again on the hardware side and basically decompiled and prints out. So the website, yeah, you didn't think I was actually gonna do a review website for you. It would have been thrown out of the room. So yeah, it's Drupal, of course. I've kept it really, really standard, really, really stock. As you can see, it's the default. And yeah, I've built a Drupal V0 module, which I'll run through. It's available here. Please go get it, make it a whole lot better than I have. Break it, tell me about it. Tell me that it's broken. Yeah, anyone that wants to grab it, it's there right now. I haven't quite finished the read me yet because it's the last thing developers tend to do. But yeah, the module's all there. It's ready to go. It's integrated. I should turn my phone off. Silent. How I built that, I've got a submit form. Anyone use Drupal commerce? Yay, of course, yeah, yay. Anyone built Drupal commerce module before? Yeah, okay, cool. Yay, thumbs up. You get special swag. So yeah, submit form. I've got the drop in UI being created. And then the form validation. I put the actual transaction into form validation just because I wanted to bring back if there was any errors, which generally there isn't too many, but users, you can never tell. A little bit of an extra thing I'm doing. So when a brain tree transaction creates on like some of the PayPal ones, you can store cart data, item data in a PayPal transaction creation. With brain tree, you can't. So what I've done is brain tree has this thing called custom fields where you can create a custom field inside a transaction and store anything you want in there. I'm just storing the cart data as Jason kind of made sense. It was really easy to do. And basically that saved me having to on the UN do a notification to say, hey, there's a new transaction and then contacting the website and going, what's in this transaction? Everything sort of stored in there on the UN itself. I can just pull that out. Decompile the Jason, print a receipt, easy. The code. I'm actually gonna try a live demo. And as we all know, live demos sometimes don't quite go to plan. But yeah, I've got the code here. So at the very top, do I have an else? Yes, I do. At the very top here, I've got... Don't go to the next slide. So the connection's happening here. I've got a reusable function that it can initialize when I need brain tree transaction. All this pulls in from settings, which admin user sets up before you start collecting all the money. And then to generate, I need to generate like a custom token that I put in the drop in UI. That's to make it nice and secure and brain tree knows who we're dealing with. And that all goes in here. Now the drop in UI, I did have a little bit of problems with. I got that working. It's not clean, but yeah, it did the job. It works. Please go make it better. Tell me about it. The PHP side, again, I'm just kept it nice and simple. If there's a custom field available, which is an optional field, you can set in settings. Then it uses that to drop in the JSON. Otherwise, it's just a straight transaction. So the YUN. So has anyone used Arduino YUN or any Arduino equipment before? Oh, there's a few, yeah. And some of the Drupal commerce people. Woo-hoo. Yeah, so the Arduino YUN. I went for this, and it's a nice little board. It's about YABIG. I've got it currently running inside there. I went for the YUN originally because I thought, oh, it's got Wi-Fi built into it. It makes sense. But it's an interesting experience with the YUN. So there's two sides to it. There's a Linux side and then there's the Arduino side with the bridge in between. The bridge, I pulled so much hair out from the bridge. It's got so much latency. It's essentially a temporary database where you can transfer stuff from the Linux side to the Arduino side. Works in theory. It's a great idea. In practice, it's got so much latency and so much delay. When the Arduino side realizes there's variables in the bridge, some of the variables won't be loaded when you want them to. Some of them will be loaded before you want them to.  What I ended up doing is, on the Linux side, I basically do, that's where I do all my scripts to get data in. So I'm contacting the Braintree server, pulling data. I dump it into a temporary file. Basically, I create my own bridge just below it. And then on the Arduino side, I pull that back out and print. Really, really easy. Essentially, yeah, I created my own bridge just because it made sense and it worked. It did take me two days to realize that, to do that though, the bridge itself is, yeah, complete. So I originally tried to do the Linux. I love the memes. The Linux side, Python's elegant though, it's nice. The Linux side basically comes built in with Python. So it made sense to use it, except it's a version of, there was an open WRT, which is basically like a Linux server, but scaled down a whole lot. So there's a few things that I really needed to compile in there that just weren't going to compile. So I use PHP. Probably not the best thing to use PHP for, but again, it worked. It did the job. So essentially I'm running this script. It just pulls, it's running on a Chrome job. It just pulls Braintree. And if there's a new transaction in there, one that it hasn't already seen yet, it pulls it in. What I'm actually running, so I tried to use the bridge to essentially store variables of transaction IDs that I was getting back from Braintree, so that I knew which ones I'd done yet, which ones I hadn't done yet, wasn't able to store them inside the bridge latency. So I'm using SQLite between the two, microphone dropped out, to between the two, to be able to know which ones, which new transactions are in and which ones were already processed. And SQLite, you can run on both sides. I wouldn't store thousands of transactions in there, but it's enough to, you can poll the last 24 hours, know which transactions are new, know which ones were already processed. This is a good meme too. So anyone that's already dealt with Arduino, you use C++. It's quite straightforward, it's easy to pick up. Variable types will basically drive you nuts for anyone that's gone from PHP to Arduino. You never know whether you're dealing with an intro of VAR and yeah, you always need to know that. But yeah, so all this code that you see here, all available on my GitHub, you can go get it, you can make it better, change it to what you need it to do, but yeah, everything that's available here is available. And now the demo. So going to my trusty Drupal commerce website, here's one we prepared earlier. So really basic, I'll reload that again. Is that a good size? Yes, it's a good size. All right, so I'm gonna go to add a product. This test product seems like a good one. Go to a cart, and I'll do a checkout. Loading, oh, we're good. And so there's the V zero box. So I'll type in credit card. I could accept PayPal, Bitcoin. So where that little PayPal box is, Bitcoin will appear there once that's available here, and Apple Pay can appear there as well. Like anytime we start adding new wallets and there's some really cool ones coming, they'll basically just be available across the top and they essentially do that. Ta-da, now let's go. Ta-da, and then we'll go continue to next step, which will basically trigger the transaction, fingers crossed, it did. And in under a minute, I should see a receipt print out on here, fingers going crossed and the demo gods appeased. Now you can actually speed this up to make it quicker than a minute. You can basically run a script, have the script run for a minute, and then inside that poll a couple of times, you can also do socket connections. So node, you could do socket connections. You can do socket on PHP, you could do it. It doesn't tend to like it too much, but you could do it and then have a job kickoff. You could also run it through a shell. There's a number of different ways you could get this to connect. I'm just using PHP because PHP is still pretty awesome. Yay, the demo gods are happy today. Ta-da, that's it. So basically whatever you put into that cart, will come out there. What's my point? So I built this wonderful little high quality cardboard box mid last year before I went to PHP New Zealand. And I put little screen in the front because I thought larger audiences would be able to see that some sort of interaction happening. And I kind of wrote a little sketch that lets you play space invaders, but that's another topic. But yeah, I built this wonderful little box because I thought, yeah, easy with everyone to see. And then I looked at it and thought, I need to take that through international customs. Maybe a little bit suspicious. Thankfully, I haven't been stopped and I've been through some interesting countries so far with it. It never goes in on the plane with me. It always goes in check-in. And yeah, they seem to leave it alone. To something else, I've been talking about, after I finish, if everyone wants to come up and have a look, it's all here. The LCD screen, you normally need like a little dimmer pop for it. I kind of lost that through, I don't know where. It was somewhere, it just vanished. And I think I've burnt the screen out, but it's basically still holding together. I ended up simulating the dimmer pop by plugging into one of the output ports on the Arduino U1 and then trying to work out which value is best, which I think I said it a bit too high because it kind of went dark on one side and I was like, ah! But the good thing with any of this sort of hardware stuff is most of the time it's kind of forgiving. There's a bit coming up, I think, where I talk about the shirt that caught fire but we'll get to that in a second. But yeah, something else I've been going through the region talking a bit about is e-textiles which is a great whole new sideline of IoT which is basically gonna allow us to interact with clothing, which is pretty cool. So this is a company in New York created LED fabric that uses Bluetooth. You can put anything you want in there, temperature, advertising, tweets, like whatever. And so as part of my travels I started building my own shirts last year so I could stand up and turn things on and have everyone standing back. This one's, no, this one's not wired. You're safe. But yeah, interacting with clothing in whole new ways.  And I was like, yeah, not so much. But yeah, so this is one of the shirts that I built last year. I don't have a picture of it in here but this was the first one. And it uses a conductive thread. This one's using an Arduino jammer which is a little tiny board about Yebig. Two little coin, watch coin batteries. It's about three volts, four volts. And I was standing in Malaysia doing a keynote at an open source conference there last year. And Malaysia's a little bit humid. I didn't have the wires insulated. And yeah, it keeps you lively on stage when you're getting a three-volt shock. It was fine, you know, push through it. The things we do for our art.  And this is the team that won. They built an IOT jacket, essentially, for cyclists. They did this in 24 hours. You buy the jacket with PayPal and you buy extra functionality from the jacket using PayPal, of course. So part of the hackathon rules are you have to use PayPal, Braintree, inside what you build. They've had a lot of interest for this and they were actually really close to starting a kickstart for it. So it's KnightRider.org. So essentially it's got an accelerometer in it. Soon as you start slowing down your bike, brake light comes on, blinker. They did this in the streets of Melbourne at five a.m. on a Sunday. Now, to get the actual footage that you just saw with him riding along, one of the teams actually got a GoPro taped to a broom handle and he's running behind him. Wasn't at all suspicious. So yeah, they're currently looking at how they can take this into mass production, which is really cool.  It has directional lights in the wrist so you can program in via an app where you want to go and as you approach a corner, wrist will start flashing and you can turn. Great idea. Okay, go to the next. There we go. All right, so the other thing we've seen, actually I was really surprised with this, but CES this year, I don't know if you're following CES, but Internet of Car Things was massive. Basically every car company has a new way to interact with the car. I knew sort of function built into the car. The car's alive now, almost, soon, soon. But yeah, in particular, car diagnostics was of interest. So I was talking last year with an insurance company, a big insurance group in Melbourne. They had an internal hackathon and I went and did a talk at it. But one of the things I was saying to them is cars are gonna know more about the way you treat the vehicle, the way you drive the vehicle. It's the new Brad the toaster. It's gonna know more about the car and how your driving habits in whole new ways. And for insurance in particular, it's a way for us to have a tailored product and a tailored quote based on how you drive your car, how you maintain your car, how far you go in the car. Like it's gonna be a whole new way for us to create a customized quote. I think we're gonna start seeing a bit more of this. I think some companies have already started doing it now. The double AMI has got that app that you put in the car and can track how far you go and how fast you're going. It's slightly scary, I know. But again, these things are gonna know about all this stuff about us anyway. The more functionality we build in for our convenience, the more things they're going to have to track and more ways they're gonna have to know what you're doing, where you're doing it and how you're doing. Slightly scary topic, embedded tech. So we started to see a little bit of this and as I think we've probably seen with some of the wearable glass type products recently, probably not ready for it yet. This is similar to Google Glass, it's called iOptic, but yeah, little heads up display in a contact lens. Apparently, this company actually has something that they're trialing, but it's not on sale yet. Interestingly though, a week ago, a week and a bit ago, I saw an article about a new zooming contact lens where you blink twice and it zooms in times three. It's coming. And interactivity, I mean, we've seen that this is a little bit old now, but the digital tattoo, the Motorola digital tattoo, it's more of a sticker. It's not really a tattoo, kinda similar, but it basically uses your body's vitals to determine that you're you. So it uses heartbeat and biorhythms and stuff to know that it creates a unique signature so that when you touch your device, when you pick up your phone, it unlocks automatically. So if someone else picks it up with another tattoo or even without one, who wouldn't have one? Yeah, it won't unlock. So the possibility for the internet of things is endless and particularly when you're dealing with something that small, so this doesn't have a name, this is 8266. Of course, you're thinking, I knew that. Has Wi-Fi built into it and a temperature sensor, 32 bits of memory, $3. You can buy this like right now, three bucks straight off eBay or some of the other sites, but yeah, particularly with this type of thing, but the possibilities are endless. You can build this into almost anything from apples to toys. And I actually thought about building this on Apple just because. Digital Apple. But yeah, the opportunities for developers to integrate IOT moving forward and have it talk to your website and having user experiences happen in whole new ways are endless. And that's me. Thank you. All the questions? No questions? Okay, there's one. Yeah, and that's something, yeah, that's definitely being looked at for being an issue for a while, particularly when you're dealing with something that small, like how does that encrypt something and then send it to somewhere else to do some analytics with. There's a lot of different protocols which are currently being looked at. There's a bit of an issue in its own self, but a lot of different protocols for encryption, for passing data around at the moment. At this stage, I think it's still up in the air, pun intended, just because yeah, there is so many different protocols and so many different companies looking at ways that they can interact safely. But yeah, it's definitely is a big topic and when building a lot of this stuff and particularly, I don't know if anyone's seen a lot of the watches coming out, like this thing knows so much about me. It knows how many steps I take. It knows my average heartbeat. So encrypting that sort of data and sending it over a Bluetooth protocol, over a Wi-Fi protocol. Yeah, it's definitely in my mind all the time and it's definitely something I'm seeing brought up more and more by the industry as well. So to answer your question though, it's definitely very, very important. Yeah, and yeah, definitely, yeah, definitely extremely important. And again, it comes back to, there's a lot of plays in the protocol space at the moment. Oh, okay. Brad, the toaster's back on my computer. Yeah, it's definitely something which is in the forefront of, which protocol's gonna dominate? I think having so many different protocols or so many different ways and functions that you can have inside, like the Arduino platform, for example, it is good in that you will be able to sift out which one is going to work best and which one's gonna be the most adaptable. At the same time, that's a problem in itself at the moment, cause there are so many protocols. One will dominate or a combination of a whole bunch will dominate. And we've seen that already with a lot of the HTTP protocols and stuff. Like there was a lot of different variations and a lot of different, IE wasn't gonna support this, well, IE wasn't gonna support everything. But we've seen the happy marriage of that in the end, almost the happy marriage of that in the end. I mean, WebGL, great example, they weren't gonna support that for forever and everyone was like, but why? It's so amazing. It's the same thing with the IAT world at the moment. There's a lot of, I'm not gonna say fighting, a lot of big brands sort of trying to dominate this space. I think we're gonna see a happy marriage of that at some point, as for when? Yeah, soon. Anyway, I'll be around for the entire conference. Skipped right to the, okay. We'll go back to there. I'll be around for the entire conference so please come up, say hi. I have a bag of swag that I need to get rid of. So please come see me. It's good swag. Yeah, and I've got loads of stickers and I've just come back from Battlehack LA so I have loads of partner stickers from like Sangrid and some really awesome companies so more than happy to sort of trade those out as well. Yeah, that's me. Am I on time? Think I am? Anyway, cool. Thank you.


Hello and welcome to the Payment Village. My name is Leanne Galloway and I am the Payment Village Lead. We set up the Payment Village because we felt like so many of us have an interaction with payment technologies every day, yet most of us don't know how they work. And it seems from the outside that the barriers for entry are particularly high. So we set up this village as a way to change that. We've provided a range of content including talks and lab exercises. If you need to find any information, please first of all start with our website which is thepaymentvillage.org. You'll find the schedule, information about how to access Discord, how to register for Discord and how to access our Twitch and YouTube channels. We have a number of talks over the three days and all of those are going to be broadcast to Twitch and YouTube. All of the information for that will be provided in Discord and following each talk we'll have a Q&A session which will take place on Discord. This will be moderated by myself and by Tim who is one of the Payment Village staff. So after this talk we have a talk by Dr Steven Murdock from UCL and he's going to be talking to us about TLV. So when we look at the communication between a card and a terminal for EMV, the data is sent in units called Application Protocol Data Units or APDUs. Now within each message that's sent the data is sent in a structure called TLV or Tag, Length and Value. So he's going to be talking to us about why this is important, how we can understand it and how we can decode it. So following that talk we have a talk from Tim Unisoff and he's going to be talking to us about how you can get started with bug bounty for payments. I think what's particularly interesting about this talk is he's going to talk about some of the challenges that are specific to this area. On Saturday we have a talk from Yuri Rivner of BioCatch and he's going to be discussing identity data as a commodity. So he's going to be talking about all sorts of interesting things like synthetic IDs which are a particular problem in the US. So this might be where a fraudster creates an ID from constructed data, some of that might be real. So for example using the social security numbers of deceased people or children. So I'm particularly interested in seeing this talk and what he has to say about that. Then we have a talk by our Kady Litvinenko and he's going to be talking about online banking security. Specifically he's going to focus on the difference between online banking security assessments and traditional application assessments. So we'll be looking at some specific issues that are associated with banking security. Some of which we'll be focusing around the actual logic of the application. On Sunday we have a talk by Alexei Stanikov and he's going to be talking about the security or lack of security in point of sales terminals. Alexei is a hardware reverser so he'll be talking about the security mechanisms that we can find commonly within terminals and how those can be bypassed. Following Alexei we have a talk by Minaka Baskar-Pili and she's going to be talking about how we can architect modern payment gateways and do this in a secure manner. In addition to the talks we have a number of lab exercises which are available on our website. We'll be providing support for those in Discord so under the pay labs text you'll be able to post your questions and we'll get back to you. In addition to all of these things we do have a number of stickers available so if you're interested in that please ping myself or Tim or just ping in the general chat. And please tag us online on Twitter using the tag at payment village. And finally have an amazing time. I hope that this provides you with a great introduction into payments and you'll be keen to come back next year.


Hey, I'm Anfa. You may remember that some time ago I've made a video about virtual playing orchestra, which is a set of sampled orchestral instruments created from samples gathered from different places and released under an open license. And in that video I said that I highly don't recommend using it. I used more harsh language than that. Thank you for your negligence and wishful thinking that led us to this situation. And honestly, I apologize to the creator of VPO because I think I was too harsh. I argued that the samples that the instrument library used come from different sources and are licensed under different licenses. Some of them require attribution like CC by or require any derivative work to be licensed under the same license like CC by SA, so save agreement or share alike. And also another license, sampling plus, which was it was retired by Creative Commons some time ago. So I said that from what I could gather and from my conversations with different people whose opinions I regard and who I think know more about copyright than I do, the best I could figure out is that if you make music with virtual private network. With virtual playing orchestra you have to license your music accordingly to what instruments you used, what samples they used. Now the author of virtual playing orchestra has done a tremendous job documenting what samples are taken from what places under what license they were released and in which instruments they are used. So it would be possible to track down what exact samples under what licenses you used in your music. It would still be a lot of work. So I said that's impractical and unless you are open to violating people's copyright or making life super hard for yourself you should stay away from virtual playing orchestra. Long time after I made that video a person from the community arrived and made an argument that my argument is bad and that virtual playing orchestra is in the right and the author's statement that you can use the sampled instrument library to make music and you don't need to credit anyone is correct and that's because making music from samples is a transformative process. How I understand it is samples fulfill a specific role. You don't listen to samples and go that's groovy. I mean unless there are loops but you're not going to be doing that for long because the sample is not going to be a full piece of music. The sample is just a building block. It's a component. It's not usable as a piece of music on its own. So a sample is one kind of resource and music is a different kind of work. So if you take the samples and you turn them into music that's transformation. So crossing a barrier between medium types and he argued that this like negates the license of the samples are no longer need to carry on this attribution no longer have to abide by the license of the samples because your work is transformative. If it was not transformative so you were to take the samples and make a different sample or take the library and make a different library than the licensing applies. I'm going to link the videos that that person have recorded explaining their argument in length and I'm really thankful for that. I took my video down because I'm no longer confident that I am 100% correct in my conclusion and I don't want to be you know saying things like don't use this or that person is leading you towards violating people's copyright if I'm 100% sure and also I want to apologize for doing that because I wasn't 100% sure but I might have been wrong and I probably should never be so confident because I'm just a human and humans can always be wrong. So I'm sorry and I mainly target this at the author of the virtual playing orchestra. I'm sorry I have to leave it open there is no answer to this question. Another person from my community there was a huge discussion in my community after this comment appeared and after that person made these videos explaining their point about transformative work and the licensing not like going over to the different kind of medium but we couldn't reach a consensus. There are very convincing arguments on both sides and nobody can really prove that one is the only way to interpret the licensing and the law and not all the kind of stuff. One person from the community reached out to Creative Commons I think they emailed them or something and got a reply that stated something along the lines of we don't know and we don't have resources to find out so it's not great. I was hoping for something better because the people who made Creative Commons licenses are like the authority in my mind on this stuff if they don't know then I have no idea. So I'm sorry but I have to leave it at that. I don't know. So it's your call you either believe that making music from samples is transformative work and that then go and use virtual playing orchestra instruments in your music and don't attribute anyone and don't like care about what license you release your music under or believe that it doesn't and don't use it and that's on you. I can't provide an answer and that's all yeah I wish I had a better answer. I had a better conclusion but I just I gave it some time. I thought I maybe I'll gather some more information but no I just have to leave it at that. So I took my video down I will link it it's unlisted I will link it below this video so you can watch it for like historical purposes. I'm not erasing it and I no longer stand by what I said there because I learned that I may be wrong I may be right. I don't know I was swayed both sides like many times over during this whole debacle. What I can do is link you again to a blog post or a website or an article or a list by Nils who has combined a list of instruments that are licensed under Creative Commons 0 which is equivalence to public domain which is 100% sure to be safe to use like that's the only license I have no qualms about if something's licensed under CT0 you can take it you can do whatever with it you can even sell it you can put it on a CD and sell it and nobody can do anything about it of course it could be a shit move but well that's on you. Ah wait one more thing if you want to talk to people who are making audio on Linux with open-source software go check my community chat at chat.anfa.xyz and also huge thanks to everyone who is supporting my work if you dear viewer would like to join these awesome people and help me make videos like this one you can go over to patreon.com.anfa or liberapay.com.anfa and give me a buck every month or two it's up to you that's all now go and make some music


The results of this study suggest that late postpartum depression is a common problem in Arba Minch, Ethiopia. Factors such as husband-cat use, partner dissatisfaction with the gender of the baby, short-inter, delivery interval, difficulty to meet husband sexual needs, postpartum intimate partner violence, and low social support are all associated with late postpartum depression. In order to address this issue, the Ministry of Health, Zonal Health Departments, and other responsible agencies should develop effective strategies to reduce these risk factors.

Soon in Washington, the President of the United States will throw out the first ball to inaugurate the 1946 season of America's national pastime. And once again, old timers will begin talking about the good old days of baseball. When John J. McGraw was managing the New York Giants... You bushes, you call yourself baseball players? Well, I gotta go out on these sand lot in the country and pick up a team to play the pants off it. You're folded like a lot of empty sacks today. Now listen to this. When you play for me, you play baseball as hard and tough as you can. You don't let up for a minute. Some of you got the idea that baseball is only a game. Well, it's not. It's a career. A whole life. The guy who thinks I'm wrong is gonna find himself warm on the bench, but not on my team. That was him. McGraw of the Giants. The man who drove his teams to seven national league pennants and four world championships. And me? Well, I'm the bleacher bug, an old timer. I'll never forget John J. McGraw. He was baseball, and he still is. He started with the Giants back in 1902. Started with a bang on the day he walked into Andrew Freedman's office. Freedman who owned the Giants. McGraw, what the devil have you been doing with the team? Getting rid of deadwood, Mr. Freedman. Nine of the players you've got on your roster. What? Nine players? How'd they go? Hear their names? These men? But they cost me $14,000. You got stung. They're not worth it. I brought some real ball players with me from Baltimore. Field of Jones at Delahaney, George Davis. You won't bring that Davis on my club. I don't like him, and I won't have him. You'll have him and you'll like him. I'm running this ball club, and I'll get the players I want. Well, you may be the manager, but I own the club, and I say that I won't hire that shithead. You may own this club, but I'm the boss. I run the club, or I quit, and I'll take your choice. All right. Go ahead. I'll let you run the team to suit yourself. You bet you will. Stormy, aggressive, yeah. But he knew baseball, and baseball players. He proved that one day when he went to the polo grounds for a practice session. Fogel. Hey, Fogel, get over here. Yeah. What's the matter, Mac?  What's he doing there? Doing. He's a short stuff. Short stuff.  Look at the way he shot the ball. Well, I hit him at first, but he was no good there either. Well, I'll just try him at ground keeper. Now, wait a minute, Mac. I'm trying to find ball players for this club. I go with that kid to me right now. Okay, okay. Hey, kid, you were short. Come over here. All right, Fogel. We'll get back to your phone. Go ahead. Okay, Mac. You want a beam to McGraw? Yeah. You like playing short? Well, I love baseball. I'd play any place. Hey, Roger, present. Yeah.  Let's say we are. Okay. Fire away, kid. What do you want me to do, Mr. McGraw? You, we've got a ball in your hand, haven't you? Well, where's that double eye where the catcher's met? Throw the ball. Throw the ball. All right. Like that? Yeah. Yeah, like that. Let me stand behind you. All right, toss it back, right? Right. Now, do that again. Do what again? Throw it. Throw it. How was that? What kind of a ball was that? Well, I don't know. I just hold it like this, and then I throw it. All right. You get together with Bresnan. I'll tell him you pitch to him every day for an hour or so. Okay, with me, Mr. McGraw. That's a nice pitching motion you've got. Thanks. I like pitching. So do I when it's good. By the way, what's your name, kid? Matheson. Christie Matheson. All right, McGraw was about Maddie. The Giants finished second the next season, and Maddie won 30 games. Then in 1904, McGraw drove his team to the National League Bennett, and New York went nuts. McGraw repeated in 1905 and beat the athletics in the World Series. In four seasons of scrap and sweating, Yellen McGraw lifted a last-place team and pushed it right to the top. But 1906, something happened. The Cups won the pennant.  But when the season was over, he knew what he had to do. And Maddie, you and I are good friends. Sure, Mac. All right, I'm going to tell you something. You know why we finished second this year? No, we had bad breaks, Mac.  That's not it, Maddie. We'll make it different next year. No, no, we won't. Maddie, I forgot that time goes on in baseball the same as it does in everything else. I got used to a winning combination. I thought it wouldn't wear out, but it did. Maddie, I'm going to tear down the team and start building a new one. That's going to be hard to do, because they're men in the club or my friends. I don't know if I'm going to give the fans the kind of baseball they want to watch. I got to hurt those men. Hurt myself when I'm doing it. McGraw finished fourth the next year, but he did it with a new team. One that showed promise. That was 1907. McGraw was right again. Well, the season of 1908 came up, and it was a honey. Giants and cubs snarling at each other all the way. Then September 23 at the polar ground, score cubs one, Giants one. At half of the ninth, Giants up. McCormick on third with a win-and-run, Merkel on first. Ridwell up with two outs. Fans hanging from the rafters, yelling, screaming. McGraw coaching at third, walking up and down, clapping his hands, punching the air with his fist. Then it happened. Ridwell took a cut at the ball. When suddenly Johnny Evers, the Cubs' second baseman, began screeching like a madman. Nobody knows exactly what happened, but around second baseman was another Giants and cubs. Fans screaming out of the field. Empire Emily going for the clubhouse. Merkel running for the clubhouse, too. In a second base... Then at 10 o'clock that night, played Empire Hank O'Day ruled. Evers is right. Merkel didn't touch second base, and Evers tagged a bag to force him out. McCormick's run doesn't count, so the game's a tie, Mac. What? Listen, if Merkel was forced out at second, he should have called the game a tie right then and there. You should have ordered play resume, but you didn't. So he won the game, and nobody can take it away from us. But McGraw's protest was ruled out. The game declared a tie. And from that day on, every way that Merkel went, the fans wrote him unmercifully. What do you want, Mac? Look, Fred, you're letting those wolves in the stands get you. Oh, no, no, they don't bother me at all, I guess. Run to your skin. Well, I know, but let me tell you something, Fred. I've been fighting those wolves for years now. They're part and parcel of baseball. Right, put them in your end. Let them throw you and you're out. But I... oh, maybe I am a bonehead, Mac. Oh, look, there's the way to handle those wolves. Come over here to the stands, I'll show you. Bob, Bob, up there in the stands, you with the funny face. Me? I didn't know you could understand English. You're tough, heavy-looking.  Ah, you're probably sneaking the park anyhow. Is that it? That's the five. Put you off the field. Bob, the field, I'm gonna climb up. See what I mean, Fred? Get right back at him. Never let him get under your skin. Sure. I see, Mac. Wake that guy's neck if I get hold of him. Well, the end of the season came with the Giants and Cubs tied for first, a playoff was called, and the Giants lost four to two. The Cubs took the flag that year, and everybody blamed Fred and Merkel.  In the first place, he's one of the best and smartest players in the game. In the second place, we lost a dozen games this year that we should have won. Two dozen. Any one of them could have saved the pennant for us. But you picked on something, you called upon, had played, and set that lost the flag for us. Nobody's gonna blame Merkel for that. Besides, we were rough. McGraw never lost a chance to praise Merkel. He lifted Fred's morale when he needed it bad. And a player that might have been hounded out of baseball helped McGraw win pennants in 1911, 12, and 13. McGraw was right again. Well, there's so much about McGraw that, well, you can't tell at all. But there was one thing about him. He never let any of his boys cross him up for disobey orders. No matter if the Giants won or lost, McGraw was boss. Take that day when the Giants were in a close one with Cincinnati. It was the last half of the ninth. Reds won one to the good, then the Giants had Ross Young on third. Now, it wasn't John's style to play for just one run, but this time he figured he crossed the Reds up. Larry was picking up his bat when John said, Larry. Yeah. Let a couple go by. In the third pitch, drag a bump to third. What? Oh, but Mac, you heard me. Drag a bump to third. Okay, Mac. Here he comes. Dale, come here. What did I tell you to do? Oh, but John, he grooved it right to me. When I tell you to bump, I mean bump. Oh, but I won the game with that homer. And that homer will cost you a $50 fine. Oh, wait a minute, John. I thought he was going to give it to me letter high, and I purposely swung low. I meant to miss it, but it took a dip down.  Sure, that's the way it was. It was just a mistake. Uh-huh. Well, for that kind of mistake, the fine is a hundred bucks. You were listening to Pat O'Brien as the great McGraw on the Cavalcade of America, sponsored by the DuPont Company, maker of better things for better living through chemistry. John McGraw was strict, sure. But he also knew how to make his giants believe in themselves when the going was rough. He'd make them believe the other team was a pushover. Like in 1921, when the pirates were leading the league by seven and a half games, they came to the Polar Grounds for a crucial five-game series. See, and they were sitting on top of the world. They were like a roon. They let everybody know it. Grandvillain Kearney. Whoever told Charlie Grimmie could sing ought to be towed out to sea and burned. The target was all over the joint, snapping the muggly pirate mugs. Who do they think they are? Who do they think they are? Those are the guys with the seven and a half game lead. Maybe they got a right to sing. Maybe they got a right to mug for the photography. Yeah, maybe, Mac. Well, let them. Next year will be different. Next year. Next year? I'm talking about this year! What do you mean?   Why don't you guys wise up? What do you mean, wise up? Listen to them and look at them, that's all. They're right to be pushed over because they think they can't be.  They're thinking about how good those mugs have been looking at the sport pages. Not about baseball! Yeah, they seem kind of sure of themselves. They are. Now, listen. We got a five-game series with them. We win all five and they're in front by only two and a half. We get them wobbly. When they go over to Brooklyn, the Dodgers can finish the job.  Which is just what happened. The Giants crashed to the top and won the flag. Then came 1925. That year, well, it took something away from Mack. Then give him something, too. As for the given, it was near the end of September. A thick-legged kid about 16 years old carrying a straw suitcase and looking scared. Went into McGraw's office. Mr. McGraw? Huh? Well, what do you want? Who are you? Well, Harry Williams sent me from Louisiana. Said you might give me a chance to play with the Giants. You did, huh?  Well, what do you do? I hit pretty good.  I don't know yet, but I want to try. Well, all right. Climb into a uniform. We'll see what happens. You're going to harm me right now? Well, I'm going to look at you. Harry Williams never gave me a bum steer yet. Well, now, pick up your uniform. We'll show up on the grounds in about half an hour. Mr. McGraw? All right. Grab a bat and see what you can do. Too right, Mr. McGraw. Look at the way that kid's built, Ed. Shoulders, legs. Looks like he knows what it's all about to play, too. Okay, kid. Take a cut at the next one. Yes, sir. Holy mackerel, did you see that? What a cut! He can hit. Hey, a couple of seasons on minors and he'll be all right. Minors. Not for that kid. I'm keeping him right here. Nobody's going to ruin that beautiful batting style. Kid, come here. Come on. Step on it. Was that what you wanted, Mr. McGraw? Exactly. And you got a job, kid. Playing baseball with the Giants. Gee, I want me to hit some more. You will, kid. You will in plenty of time. First, we got work to do. Oh, well, what did you say your name was? It's... Mr. McGraw. Mel Ott. It was 21 years ago. And today, Mel Ott's managing John McGraw's club. But there was something else that happened in 1925, in October. Mac was in Pittsburgh, much in the series between the Pirates and the Senators. Mac? Hey, Mac. Huh? Well, Harry Cross, come on in. Sit down. I was the best sports writer in the... Mac, I... look, Christy Matheson just died. Oh. Oh, no, Harry. He died up in Saranac. I can't believe it. We got the message up in the press coop, John. It came over the ticker. Matty. With me from the first day I came into the Giants. It's more than 20 years. You want me to get a couple seats on the train back, John? I'll bring him in his hometown in Lewisburg. I'm going. Yeah. Yeah, I'd appreciate it, Harry. I never felt so alone in my life, Harry. Matty and I went through together to three pennants. A couple of world championships. It took me to the top. Oh, I'm just wishing I could trade it all ahead and back. All of it. Where are you going now, John? Right now? No. I don't know. I'm just going to take a little walk by myself. McGraw lost Matty, his best friend, and a ball player who'd risen to greatness at the polo grounds with him. When people read about Matty's death, they remembered a lot of other players. Mac had brought along to baseball's Hall of Fame. The list had made a string as long as you're on. Then in 1932, my sports writer, just killing some time at the polo grounds, walking along the corridor, when he happened to look at the bulletin board. Oh, macro. Holy macro! Hello, Jelly. Yeah, that's me again. I'm still at the polo grounds. Listen, hold everything for this and get it good. John McGraw just resigned as manager of the Giants. Huh? Why do I be pulling a gag like that? I'm telling it straight. John McGraw resigned as manager of the Giants. I'll get the details later as soon as I can. Yeah, just that. I noticed on the bulletin board that one of the greatest managers, the game of a new, had resigned after 30 years at the head of a team he'd made one of the greatest in baseball. And later? But, John, why? Yeah, can't you give us any more? Well, put it this way. A long time ago, 25 years ago, to be exact, I tore down a giant team that won two pennants. There was Deadwood on it. Deadwood, that would have slowed us up. Well, maybe I'm Deadwood now. Maybe I've slowed up. You? Oh, not a chance. No, well, I'm stepping down anyhow. Who's going in? I can't tell you that yet, boys. You'll all get it at the same time, though. But I can't tell you this. Whoever steps in is gonna be forced. Not just a front for me. I never let anybody else tell me how to run the team when I was manager. And I don't expect anybody who goes in, who goes in now to take orders from anybody but himself. Huh? Well, thanks, Mac. Oh, well, Mac. Yeah? Uh, what are you going to do now? Me? Oh, I don't know. I'll stick around. The vice president and... And what, Mac? And watch the games from the office window. After 30 years, John McGraw stepped down. And there was a good reason. He was sick. But in 1933, he watched the Giants take another flag in a World Series. Then, on February 25th, 1934, the baseball world was stunned. John J. McGraw, one of the greatest managers in the game, died today at the New Rochelle Hospital. And another baseball season starts tomorrow without John J. McGraw. Without him? No. That's wrong. All the old timers and rookies too remember that short husky figure. Always fighting, always driving, always saying, when you play baseball, play it as hard and as tough as you can. Fill that up for a minute. Some of you got the idea that baseball's only a game. Well, it's not. It's a career.  Our American poultry men produced the unheard of total of 50 billion eggs a year. No such number of eggs had ever been produced before. But now, the United States is helping to feed people in the devastated countries of Europe. We're sending them, among other things, wheat, out of which to make bread. And this means that because there will be less wheat and other grain for poultry feed, American poultry men will have to be more efficient than ever in producing eggs. To make sure your family gets the eggs needed for food, farmers are going to have to help their hens to do their very best. And here, we're happy to say, chemistry has the know-how and the materials to make an important contribution to the farmer and to you. One thing that helped egg farmers to produce so many eggs during the war, and will help them now, is a chemical development. Deactivated animal sterile, originated and manufactured by DuPont, and supplied to feed manufacturers under the trademark Delsterole. Chickens need vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin. It's one of the most essential ingredients in the poultry ration. Without it, their health suffers. And they lay fewer eggs. Not many years ago, the only source of vitamin D was fish liver oil. But because vitamin D is so important, scientists undertook extensive research to develop other sources. As a result, today there is a plentiful and never-failing source of supply. At the DuPont Company, the raw material flows through tubing of special glass before banks of dazzling blue-white ultraviolet lamps. The ultraviolet rays activate this new material, chemically known as sterols, and which are then processed so that they can be mixed in a powder and put into the poultry mash. Thanks to this scientific source of vitamin D, poultry flocks throughout the country, regardless of climate or location, can have their vitamin D the whole year round. Poultry flocks are more efficient because of Delsterole, deactivated animal sterile, one of the DuPont Company's better things for better living through chemistry. And now our star, Federal Barrier. Okay, okay, but don't call me a mugsy. That's why I'm so close. What are you putting over the plate next week, Gain? Ever hear of Artie Greengroin? Artie Greengroin? That character out of Yank Magazine? Right. The G.I.'s favorite, G.I.'s. Okay, when I was overseas, he was one of the most talked about soldiers in the Army. Brooklyn is more proud of him than anybody, well, except the Dodgers, of course. And we have a favorite son of Brooklyn, playing the part of Artie, William Bending. That's for me. I'll be coaching a thing. Good enough. Just one thing, Gain. Artie Greengroin himself here tonight to remind our audience of some of the things he's seen in Europe. 500 million men, women, and children face starvation this year unless we help them. Now, there's no food available to them unless we share ours. We have enough to go around if we do a job of self-imposed rationing. It's up to each of us to use about 40% less wheat and rice products and about 20% less of edible fats and oil. This is a worldwide emergency. We must remember to share a meal and save a life. Pat O'Brien may soon be seen in the RKO Radio Production crack-up. The music for tonight's DuPont Cablecade was composed and conducted by Robert Ambruster. Our Cablecade play was based on the book McGraw of the Giants by Frank Graham. William Johnstone was narrated. This is Tom Collins inviting you to listen next week to Meet Artie Greengroin starring William Bendix on The Cablecade of America, brought to you by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware. This is NBC, the national broadcasting company.
