The signal oil program the whistler. I am the whistler and I know many things for I walk by night I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows Yes, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak Yes friends, it's time for the whistler rated by independent research the most popular West Coast radio program Remember that every traffic signal remind you with new signal gasoline you do go farther than ever Look for the familiar big yellow and black circle sign that identifies those popular signal service stations Throughout the West from Canada to Mexico And now the whistler strange story the blind back Tom Brayton stood quietly in the darkness in a corner near one of the Cabana Hidden from the open courtyard by a screen of shrubbery in palm trees The luminous dial of his wristwatch told him it was 1115 that he hadn't longed to wait He looked with satisfaction on the courtyard and fountain down the long line of Cabana's past the huge brilliant casino del Rey Rising like a fairy castle in the desert the finest the costliest the most luxurious gambling resort in the country and All of it the music the glitter the throngs of well-heeled socialites a tribute to him a Monument to the patient calculating gambler's mind had brought this all the past on a barren alkali flat Suddenly he stiffened Two men were coming down the steps of the casino one of them very drunk the other helping Tom held his breath as they moved nearer Yeah, the best little bartender in the land. It's just that I object to these I I'm sorry, mr. Warren. I'm just following mr. Brayton's orders. He said to put you to bed and that's where you're going But I don't want to go to bed. Don't you see I want to go back I know but Mr. Brayden Never could he go a man that mr. Brayden owns exactly one half of this place that I own the other Listen, don't you see mr. Warren? He's afraid that in your condition you'll make a bad impression on the guy He's afraid I'll make a bad impression Tom Braden God's job afraid I'll make a bad impression on the yes Let me open it off Now maybe you don't know that I picked these down Brayden up in a rigged house a clip joint where he was doing blackjack I took him to the right people. I made his connections for him. Yes. I know I found the money Half a million bucks cash on the barrel Hazel Samington didn't know her from Adam. I took him to her. I spoke with a good word and bingo She comes through with 500,000 bucks just like that. Yes, sure. You know what what now? We want to know Anything that I think you better go to bed now. Come on, mr. Warren, please. You don't believe me, please Yes, I don't believe he wants it all now He's not gonna get it anyway Not with that half million dollar note coming up Listen will you please get inside and get the bed now?  Quickly you move around the room make sure all the windows are closed tightly Then over to the gas heater in the fireplace once again the silk handkerchief over the valve there John Warren was right wasn't he Tom? You do want it all With the prologue of the blind bet the signal oil company brings you another strange tale by the whistler Let me see one two three five nine Just nine more days before your 4th of July holiday For most folks with cars that means a trip somewhere to the mountains and to the beach But for too many folks it's also going to mean accidents Accidents that could have been avoided by an ounce of prevention. Here's what I mean Traffic deaths in April were 47% higher than a year ago One big reason is that today's aging cars are wearing out in the recent police traffic check program one out of every three cars Infected had either defective brakes tires lights horn or windshield wiper Little parts that cost so little to fix but can cause such big accidents So play safe stop by your signal dealers to have your car checked over Caring for your car is his business and you'll find your signal dealer is prepared to serve you in many ways He can repair that tire with a weak spot or read thread the one that's war worn smooth He'll replace that worn out fan belt radiator hose or windshield wiper or put a new bulb in that burned out stop light But take a tip see your signal dealer this week before the last-minute rush Then when the 4th of July arrives, you'll know your car is ready for a safe and happy holiday now Back to the whistler Yes, Tom John Warren was right. You do want all the money It took the three of you to build a casino del Rey John Warren socialite friend Mrs. Simington's money in your brain and now you've got to have it all You stand there at the bar calmly talking to Ed the bartender while John Warren flies dying in his cabaret Like every decision you ever made it was a matter of hard wasn't it Tom a good bet a Thousand to one he'll be found dead in the morning victim of an unfortunate accident Involving too much alcohol and a gas heater.  She holds against you for a half million coming up for renewal next week Sorry I had a interrupt you Hazel were you winning? I'm not much of a gambler. I guess I never bet less. I have a sure thing. You can't win that way What's on your mind John? Drunk again. Well, I just had Eddie put him to bed. I think the three of us ought to have a meeting in the morning I've talked to him till I'm blue in the face, you know, it worries me to have John jeopardize your investment now Look Tommy we talked the same language. You can lay it on the table. What do you mean? You were dealing a two-bit blackjack game when John Warren introduced us and when my late lamented husband married me I was a hash slinger Well, you don't need John anymore, right? I want to get rid of him Matter Tom you like the idea. Well, it's pretty rough. Oh Oh You mean you think that we can I mean you can stop his pockets of money and put him on a plane Send him to Havana Honolulu time. He gets back. You can buy him out. Oh What did you think I meant?  Here comes my good friend dr. Latham. Okay. We'll meet tomorrow Oh, if you want to oh by the way, don't worry about that note.   That's odd, isn't it?  Yes, Tom It's a good bet Coming oh Dr. Latham thought I might have a word with you mr. Braden sure how much do you want? Do you always think in terms of money? Of course, so do you I wanted to talk to you about mrs. Simington well she inherited about 30 million, but I don't know how much she has left I am not interested in mrs. Simington's money. Of course you're not it's a beautiful soul that attracts you Come on dot come to the point I happen to know we cleaned you the first night you were here that mrs. Simington has been staking you regularly and that if the AMA knew you were practicing in this state They jerk your license if they haven't done it already now. What do you want? We seem to have a mutual interest in mrs. Simington's health If anything happened to her it isn't likely her financial manager would see his way clear to renew the note She holds on you right what's wrong with mrs. Simington's health. Good heavens man. You have eyes after him He's dangerously heavy for her age over indulges in everything food drinks gambling opiates What kind of opiates ordinary sedatives to help her sleep? Terribly hard on her heart nevertheless if you knew she had hard trouble why'd you let her have them because if I cut her off She'd only buy them someplace else I'm very much interested in hazel mr. Brayden Unfortunately, I can't say the feelings reciprocated Apparently she depends on you a great deal for advice.  Brayden If you were to help me arrange say Alliance with hazel you'd arrange to get the note for me is that it exactly it wouldn't cost you a cent What do you say?  Good night, doctor Well, the doctor has the idea too hasn't he Tom something about hazel's health Something about her estate moving in to collect a half million dollar note should anything happen to it You know, you can never pay it. They might as well ask for the moon You knew from the first that you'd have to cross this bridge someday just as you knew you'd have to eliminate John Warren Somehow some way you have to get your hands on that note Yes, it's something to think about something to keep your mind spinning all night and then Yes Oh, yes, I missed the war instead what he didn't answer his phone so I went down there I opened the door and the place was full of gas Did you call the doctor play them there now said mr. Warren must have got cold during the night and got up to turn on the gas But he was in a fog and went back to bed without lightening it. Oh tough isn't it boys? Yeah Tough the verdict Tom. That's all over hazel the good sheriff just left Just like that just like that They're a good gambler Tom You play pretty tough hands yourself. I've got a couple of high cards But I'm afraid I'm a little over cautious. Oh, yes the ban yet tomorrow. I think we ought to talk about that note Well, that's card you played with an ace My luck, you know sheriff said it was an old call The only one who might deny it is John Oh Pardon me am I interrupting a post mortem? This is no time for flippancy doctor hazel and I lost a good friend last night I'm sorry. I should have known how deeply grieve you are You don't look so well hazel. I never felt better in my life. I don't think you should play tonight now Let's not go through that again.  I'm glad you mentioned that doctor I'm out of sleeping tablets bring some over tonight. Will you please hazel? Don't you understand hazel? You'd better listen to I'm going back to dress doctor. I'll expect you in an hour. Well I'll bring you one tablet. That's all just one Well, Tom the picture has changed You wonder what's on her mind? Why she wants to talk about the note one thing is certain She must have it there with her and it would be just like her to toss it carelessly in a dresser drawer And there's only one way you'll ever be safe Tom You've got to get your hands on that note and destroy it You're smart enough to realize that this is a good bet too that it'll be a long time before you're dealt another hand like this one But it's a blind bet Tom and the one thing that changed the odds completely the thing that made your whole plan So ridiculously futile took place a few hours later in Mrs. Simington's cabania. I hope you understand hazel I'll leave the sedative here, but I don't want you to take it unless it's absolutely necessary Just a minute. That's my call Yes, ready with New York, Mr. Simington. Hello, Mr. Pierce What can I do for you? I'm afraid I made a mistake. Mr. Pierce I just found I included that Tom Braden note in those papers. I mailed you last week No, I mailed it to me at once now take care of it here. No, that's all mr. Pierce. Goodbye. Goodbye Well, what are you going to do for clothes? No I'm gonna tear it up. What? Tear up a note for a half a million.  I don't think so No, the circumstances. I'm getting off cheap You see doc. I've decided that this business is a little vicious for a woman of my age Yes, but my good woman a half million dollars. You don't know what you're doing and you don't know Braden It's quite a decision indeed. It is. I only hope I didn't make it too late That's a pretty generous gift hazel yes, and I want him to know he's getting it That's very important. I want him to know tonight Yes, Tom it was a blind bet and it might have been off if you'd heard that conversation if you'd known about the blind card But you didn't until it was too late Shortly before midnight you see hazel and the doctor come into the game room But you keep your eyes on your cards unless you say tonight the better hazel is nobody's fool I'll bet so Hello, Braden if you don't mind I get back later. I'm busy. Well, could you excuse yourself for a moment? It's a matter of some importance. Look if you want to cash a check Eddie will take care of you now run along Will you I'll see you later a little only take a minute. It's About the note. Oh Well, I I can't leave my guess you understand that all right, Braden later I Matter with him. He's coming later.  I still think you're making an awful mistake I know what I'm doing You're afraid of him. Aren't you? Why did you say that I can see it in your face? You better stick to your pills. I'm not afraid of anyone I'm serious hazel. You don't look very well tonight. I think you'd better go to bed early. Oh Can I depend on you to tell Tom about the note? Of course, of course I'll walk over to your cabane. Oh I'll go alone. You're making sensible for once Remember your promise about the sleeping tablet, huh? I won't take it unless I need it. Yeah, let me help you with your wrap Don't you worry about Braden? I'll talk to him sometime tonight You sit there and watch them Tom see Hazel walk to the door and the doctor turn and come back It was about the note he said and you're sure now that there could only be one reason why she'd be so anxious to talk To you about the note. She's changed her mind, of course It's just like her. She's changed her mind and wants to call in her note, but why? Why would she do that? You know the doctor could never convince her. She has no respect for him. She must have talked to someone Yes, sir, I'm ringing just a moment, please. Hello, Ellie one moment. Oh, Mr. Braden busy night, huh? Not so bad lots of long-distance calls you You wouldn't happen to remember who they were for would you well? Let's see if there was one from Chicago for Mr. Piper down in 14 one from New York for Mrs. Signing to let me think there was another all right. I'm just curious. Thanks, Ellie That's it Tom you're sure now aren't you Pierce called her from New York and changed her mind about the note Of course she wants her money and you can't get it for her you avoid dr. Latham you don't want to hear about the note you have to be able to prove that you believed Hazel was going to renew it But no one told you differently that there was every reason in the world why you'd wanted to live This time there's only one way out now That's single sleeping tablet in Hazel's room the one the doctor left for is going to be the last one she'll ever take Already yes, Mr. Braden. Can I fix your drink now? I'm going up to my apartment look I don't want to be disturbed on any circumstances. Did you see the doctor? No He's been after me all evening says he's got to see you that it's awfully important Well, I can't see him tonight. I got a headache. I feel rotten. I'm going to bed. Tell him that okay boys anything you say It's Three in the morning when you use the past key again this time on the door of Hazel's cabana You stop for a moment Listen, she must have taken the tablet because she sound asleep. It's a good sleep Isn't it Tom worth half a million to you you walk quietly to the bed and pick up the extra pillow Stand over her for a second and then See it stop breathing now, it's all over Tom You haven't too much time to find the note carefully now No one must know the place has been ransacked the silk handkerchief again first the dresser Not here the nightstand maybe Luggage it's in a luggage And the desk why didn't I think of it sure? Wait a minute. I gotta get hold of myself. I gotta think Cabinet maybe now. She's hitting it. They're behind a picture In the soul for the medicine chest in the bedroom. It's gotta be somewhere. I know it's here. I know it No, it isn't here. No one else to look The bet didn't pay off did it Tom you start out the door now and then suddenly turn to take one last look Nothing must appear disturbed the lights from a distant automobile illuminate the room for a second Just as your eyes fall on the dressing table and your heart almost stops You nearly put the news around your own neck didn't you Tom? There on top of the dresser in plain sight is the sleeping tablet Hazel didn't take it quickly you walk to the bathroom fill a glass half full of water put her fingerprints on it and Set it on the nightstand Then you walk into the bathroom and get rid of the tablet At least they won't get you for the murder The whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending of tonight's story Meantime a question What would you think of a driver who deliberately did something it would clog up his motor with six times as much carbon and Wear out his cylinders 50% faster than necessary Well friends, that's just what every driver is doing who's still using straight oil in his motor Here's what I mean in exhaustive road and laboratory tests Today's finest straight motor oil was compared with the amazing new type signal lubricant that combines five Scientific compounds with 100% pure paraffin base signal premium motor oil The result the motors using signal premium oil Actually showed only one sixth as much carbon and one third less cylinder wear get that Motor stayed six times cleaner cylinder where was reduced one third with new signal premium motor oil No wonder drivers who want to keep wear down and performance up or switching from old-fashioned straight motor oil Switching now to the amazing new type signal lubricant that you're guaranteed of a sweeter running motor signal premium motor oil Now back to the whistler The next day of the Casa del Rey is in an uproar, but you're ready for it Aren't your time the sheriff is suspicious of course two deaths in as many days add up to more than a coincidence to him He asked careful questions, and you give him careful answer You tell him what you heard dr. Latham tell mr. Simington about the sleeping tablet how she laughed at his warning that they were extremely dangerous Possibly even fatal the sheriff is quite interested in that isn't it a few minutes after he leaves to question the doctor your telephone Yes About the sleeping tablets of course what are you worried about anything about my own money? I wasn't worried about the note I'm sure she would have renewed it today. That's just it. What are you talking about? She called her lawyer in New York?  Oh What do you want? I'm from the DA's office. Yeah, you're under arrest mr. Brayden Suspicion of murder. What are you talking about? She died of a heart attack the murder of John Warren? You're crazy. That was an accident. Maybe but we received a letter from mrs. Simington this morning She mailed it last night. What a it seems she was afraid for a life Looks like she wasn't far wrong. What do you mean? It was marked to be only opened only in case of my death It was an affidavit mr. Brayden. She swore she saw you turn on the gas in John Warren's Cabana Next Monday at 9 o'clock the whistler will bring you another strange tale The whistler is broadcast for your entertainment by the marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil and fine quality Automotive accessories and by your neighborhood signal dealer Featured in tonight's cast were Gerald Moore and Myra Marsh This program produced by George W.

Optical computing can be used to improve the speed and energy efficiency of convolutional neural networks, CNNs. A new design was developed which uses 3-2 by two correlated real-valued kernels made up of two multi-mode interference cells and four phase shifters to perform parallel convolution operations. This design allows for linear scalability with respect to computational size, making it suitable for large-scale integration. Experimental results show that this design can achieve 10-class classification of handwritten digits from the MNIST database.

As a reservist in the Australian Army I never would have imagined I'd find myself on exercise room of the Pacific working with our partner nations like we're doing currently. I grew up in Perth, Australia, and I've always been around the water. I've always been close to the coast So it's great to finally have a job where I can work on the water in the water and around it So it's a pretty good gig all around So far on RIMPAC we've been teaching other partner nations how we do things with our small boats How if they come along with us they can integrate into our team and how we do things and how we use our craft It's been a good opportunity to share our knowledge and skills with some other nations and learn from them as well as they teach us how they do things Small boats are important in the Australian Army because it enables us to operate in the maritime environment We can force project and transit people from ship to shore or shore to ship And as well as a variety of other operations and tasks can be enabled by what we do and how we do it It's been great to take away some new skills and knowledge from my time here so far It's really good to be working with the guys who do this every day So I really want to take back what they're teaching me so I can pass that on to my mates back home And we can keep building our capability there My name is Private Jack Green. I'm an advanced small craft operator in the Australian Army on exercise RIMPAC 2022


I'm Natalie, and I'm Chloe, and we're with the Wild Abundance Online Gardening School. And we're excited to share with you 10 of our favorite vegetables, the plant that will really feed you. Winter squash, which includes pumpkin, butternuts, and buttercups, and all different kinds and shapes and sizes of squash that you can grow to store over the winter, are an incredible staple crop. Not only is the fruit edible, but the seeds are edible and nutritious too. Just more, they sprawl, most varieties, sprawl and cover a ton of ground, so you can plant them on the edge of your garden, they'll even climb up trees in some cases, and they can take up space that you wouldn't otherwise be able to cultivate. Perhaps one of the best things is that they're delicious in sweet and savory dishes. Beans are a super rewarding crop to grow, in part because they fix their own nitrogen. So that means they bring nitrogen into the soil and they can thrive even in poorer soils. There are lots of different kinds of beans to grow. Some for dry beans like the ones I'm holding in these jars, and some for snap beans or fresh bean pods like these ones. They're also cow peas and garbanzo beans and lots of different kinds that grow well in different kinds of climate. Dry beans store well, dried in jars like this, and green beans can be pickled, frozen, or canned. Sweet potatoes can produce a huge amount of nourishing, filling food that stores well after they're cured all through the winter. They also can thrive even in poor soils that are low in nitrogen.  One thing to keep in mind is that they won't mature if it's very cool if you don't have a long, hot summer. So they're better for warmer areas and less good for cool areas. There are so many varieties to choose from and grow in your garden.  They've become kind of the center of a lot of people's meals these days instead of just being a side dish. Oftentimes, it'll be everything over a bed of lettuce or over a bunch of kale. This is kale, which I love to grow. This is madaly, which is an awesome variety. I also like to grow cabbage. I like to grow chard. Beet greens are awesome. And then a lot of edible weeds are fabulous. Magenta spreen is a type of lamb's quarters. Liquid is awesome. Kallaloo. And then all sorts of cover crops like winter peas can also be eaten. Corn is another incredible staple crop. When I'm talking about corn as a staple crop, I'm talking about field corn or grain corn like I'm holding here. Sweet corn is really more of a snack. The amount of food that you can produce with corn and even a small garden is incredible and it stores really well. It's also the only grain that's easy to process on a small scale. You don't need any machines to process it. And when it comes to heirloom or traditional varieties of corn, there's an incredible diversity of colors, flavors, textures, stories, and it's much more nutritious than anything you could buy in the store. Zucchini and other summer squash are enormously productive. We've had plants that yield well over 20 pounds per plant. That's a lot of food. It's not just boring, yucky food. It's delicious food. I love to filet these and put them in my barbecue. I like to filet them and make zucchini casserole. I like to add them to stir fries. They are so incredibly versatile. We do have some pest issues with them here, but it's just amazing how much food they produce even so. Tomatoes are an amazing thing to grow in your garden and who doesn't want to grow tomatoes? They're iconic for the home gardener. And I love to eat them raw with some fresh mozzarella. I love to make sauces and salsas and canned them and store them and then break them out and be like, yeah, these are from my tomatoes that I grew in my garden. So whatever the case is, you can really get a lot of food from one plant. And they're just so delicious. So I really encourage you to grow tomatoes. Garlic is a really fun and easy thing to grow. You take one clove, put it in the ground in the fall, and then in the late spring, you have a whole head of garlic all with relatively little labor in between. It's not only a food, but it's also a medicine. It's anti-fungal and antibacterial, and it makes other foods taste really fabulous. Potatoes, also known as the Enemy of Hunger by Chilean poet Pablo Neruda. And he knew what he was talking about. They're an incredibly productive storage craft that even your four-year-old and your grandma will be familiar with and will want to eat. They're also really fun to dig up. So they're a great crop to grow in a community garden or a family garden. They grow in even cool, moist soils, and they're a really good option, especially for northern climates and places where other storage crops like sweet potatoes just won't hack it because there's not enough heat. Other root crops can really add variety to your meals. Beets, daikon, turnips, and parsnips are foods that grow in the cool weather. And they can generally be stored really well. Beets and turnips can be stored just in sand or in sawdust. And daikons can be fermented to make fabulous kimchi. These plants are really worth growing, and I highly recommend them for your garden. Thank you so much for joining us for 10 vegetables that can really feed you. If you want to learn more about these incredible nourishing crops, we have a full online class about it that you can check out along with a bunch of other cool stuff at wildabundance.net. Good luck with your garden. Bye.


It is Monday, October, I don't even know what date it is. 28th, is it the 28th? Yeah, I think it's the 28th. On day in my life video this week, so I'm only gonna film today on Monday, but I'm gonna try to film every single part of my day, including morning, which you guys already saw. Right now I am in the car driving to work, hands-free, don't worry. I don't even have my screen flipped up so I can't even see what I'm filming, so hopefully it's recording. But I wanted to tell you guys a couple things that I do to prepare for the week, other than the things that you've already seen, like preparing my breakfasts, having my lunches ready to go. So on Sunday, at some point every Sunday, I fill my car up with gas. This week is kind of gonna be different for me because my husband is going to bike school. So he's gonna go learn how to be a bicycle cop, which I think is so cool. It's just gonna broaden his resume and just add more things to his list of things that he does. So he's actually gonna be at work from eight to four today or eight to six, I think it's eight to four. So he'll be home tonight for dinner and actually this whole week he'll be home. So that's kind of exciting for me because normally Mondays and Tuesdays he's not home at night. And as you guys saw earlier, normally our morning, our day of seeing each other Mondays and Tuesdays is here's the monitor, kiss goodbye, I'll see you at midnight. So it's gonna be really nice to have him home tonight. Ooh, I have rewards. You guys forget about your rewards at all? I always forget about my rewards. I think I have a reward. I'll check for ya. At 2.51 the day is over. I have a leadership meeting at three. So I'm gonna go to the restroom, fill up my water bottle and go. But I just wanted to check in with you. Something really funny happened at lunch. So I got a Dr. Pepper out of the soda machine which I don't usually drink soda but it was been one of those days. So I grabbed a Dr. Pepper out of the soda machine and it tumbled down out of the soda machine and it came out with this hole in it. You guys see the hole? So soda is like spraying all over the place.   So anyways, I'm gonna go to my meeting and then I'm hoping that I can make it to the gym. I've had a really bad hormonal headache like all day. So I'm gonna put some peppermint oil on my head and hope that that helps it. And then go to the gym and hope that I feel okay. And hopefully I can take cash with me if not. I still don't know what time Scott will be done so we're gonna see how that goes but I will see you guys later in like a second. Hey you guys, so it is now four o' one and my meeting just ended and throughout the meeting I started getting really bad headache and feeling really like just, I don't know, not right.  Like my headache is all in here and just really uncomfortable. So I'm gonna pack up, use the restroom and then I'll see you guys probably at home. Hey you guys, so I'm reporting to you from the car. It's 545. I left work at like four, oh five-ish, four-ten-ish. I grabbed cash and then my husband called and said that he was feeling awful and he went to bike school today all day and they were outside and in the sun they didn't really get a lot of water. So he thinks he's dehydrated. He also has the sickness I got last week so I know he doesn't feel good. Also Cash's pacifier is nowhere to be found and as of current he's still sleeping with one.  I had to get Cash a pacifier and I grabbed a couple other things that we needed like some more reusable cups for his milk just cause like parts get lost and missing and stuff. So I don't feel good either. I have a terrible migraine but I'm trying to like do mind over matter and just think like I need to get this, this and this done and then as soon as this, this and this are done I can go to sleep and just relax. I need to go home and make Cash dinner. I need to go home and make myself dinner.  We're definitely not gonna cook a Hella Fresh tonight. I think I have some like Progresso chicken noodle soup and some crackers and that just sounds like a great dinner to me. So it's been crazy. I will pick the camera up when I get home but this is like a day. Hey guys, so I'm now home and I have half of the dinners ready. So Cash's meal is done. Scott's meal is done. My meal is done. I'm just gonna get the chicken nuggets out of the fryer. These are hot. Don't eat them yet, okay? Okay, so this is our very gourmet dinner. Scott chose Campbell's, I chose Progresso. We both have Pedialyte and some crackers. Cash, you need some Pedialyte too? We're gonna get Cash some Pedialyte too. So I bought these cups. I'll show you which ones I like. So I like these little Taas Taken Taas cups from Target. They didn't have any blue ones, but I don't really care. I mean, there's yellow and orange and red in here. He doesn't care either. These are great for like nighttime milks or... Sweetie, you gotta come eat something so you can take your Nyquil. Come on, you can do it. I got a migraine too. Yeah, you're really freaking hot. Okay, I finished my dinner. I don't know if Scott has finished his dinner, but I am struggling right now. I have a pounding headache, and I still have an hour and a half left before this guy will go to bed and I can finally lay down. It's moments like these that are real struggle for those of you working moms out there, even for non-working moms, moms that stay home with their kids all day and then they have to take care of themselves and their husbands when they come home or not even for you single moms who don't even have another parent to help out.  There's nights I feel like I'm a single parent because I'm home by myself. I feel that, you know, I feel that struggle. I'm definitely struggling right now, but I'm trying to continue the mind over matter. I don't have a choice but to feed my child and to get him ready for bed and to take care of him and my husband's running 102 fever, so I don't have a choice but to take care of him. So I'm gonna try to continue documenting everything going on today all the way until I lay my head down on that pillow, but don't throw that, put it down. Luckily, my day at school was really great. We are starting an entire almost month's worth of science. We're studying biology, so we're studying life science. So we're talking about life cycles for animals, animal adaptations, habitats, things like that. We're gonna move into plants, plant life cycles, plant body parts, things like that. It'll be super fun, kids will love it. They're gonna plant things, it's gonna be a great time. So let me just show you guys what I got at Target real quick. I got some more Pedialyte. This is the powdered stuff. This is great because it doesn't go bad. The regular Pedialyte in the bottle, once you open it, you have to use it within a certain amount of time. I think it's like 48 hours and then you have to pitch it. So I always buy the packets, that way they don't expire. Got some Dayquilsevere, Dayquil and Nightquilsevere for my husband. I have the syrup and I don't mind the syrup but he will like gag. I also got some tiny cold syrup because cash is starting to get a little congested. And so I bought that just in case. And then you guys, I couldn't help it, but hold on. It's a little bathrobe for cash because we're gonna be going up north a lot this winter and it's cold there, so I wanted to get him some kind of warm thing to wear with his jammies.  I'm gonna start working on the weekends when we stay home on potty training.  We would feel it, we'd feel the wet. So I'm gonna try working with those. And then he's growing so fast. Like just in the last couple weeks, he's like grown out of his stuff. So I got him some 3T jammies. These are just a two-packed. And then he is gonna wear his Buzz Lightyear jammies to school on Thursday because it's Halloween. And they get to wear costumes, but they said don't send the good costumes, just wear something cheapy. So we'll send him and his old pair of Buzz Lightyear jammies and then I got him a new set of Toy Story jammies. His Toy Story is his jam. And that's everything from Target. And I did get him a new weapon up pacifier because he needs that to sleep with. Hey, are you done eating? Let's see how he did.  You all done? You want some more water? You want some more water? Okay. You wanna get out? What?  Let me wipe your face. What is this? I gave him some PD light too because I figured it couldn't hurt. You want this back? Do you want this back? He's just gonna chill. He's watching Coco Melon. This is my sure shot way that I can make food and take care of the family without him making a fuss. Jack, you gonna make sure you clean that high chair for me? Thank you. I'm gonna save these and see if he'll snack on the nuggets later. How's it going in here? Here, it's posted that all the way. Someone tagged me and said, is this you? Oh, will you take a picture of that? You got a phone right there? Oh. If you guys don't follow my Instagram, I posted a video yesterday of Scott's little story. I'm gonna sit right here and tell you guys cause it's really sweet. Sorry, honey, them said you're not feeling good. That's fine.  Just a short version? Don't look at our camera. Yes, you do. You look fine. Hi, buddy. Hi, pumpkin. You gonna jump on the bed?   Okay. So I had a young kid. He called 911 and he hung up. And so we didn't know what they wanted because they just don't, when they don't talk to the dispatchers, we have no idea. So we're responding to an unknown trouble call. And when I got the call comments, when I got the call comments, the call comments said, this is a boy on the line and he's requesting to have happy meals delivered from McDonald's, if that is McDonald's that he's calling. He didn't know he was calling 911. So what I did is I went and got some McDonald's from on my way there. I got him a happy meal, ketchup and cheese only, french fries and a milk. Hi buddy. And so we went and I went to that guy's house and I saw a little kid, his name was Charlie. And he went and said, you know, he was shy at first, but then I told him, I was like, I brought you a happy meal and he got excited. But first what I did is I educated him on the importance of calling 911 and when it's needed and to not, no. Yeah, you tell him and tell him, when it's not needed to stay off the line because we do have other people that may be trying to call in and they can't get in. So I gave a small little education to him, he's five years old, so he only knows so much. And then from there, went and got him a happy meal and put it, you know, he was so excited, but I didn't know it was gonna be that big of a deal. I just did it because that's what I do. And the parents were over their topics, you know, excited and they wanted to take photos and it was a big deal because I guess now it's all over Facebook. So yeah, you know, whenever you have the opportunity to help somebody or, you know, help somebody learn but also make it a positive experience, especially with the police department, it's the best opportunity for community policing. That's probably the, that's probably, you know, what I think most officers should be doing and that way we can have a better name. And you know, instead of just, we're taking people to jail cause that's not all we do. We, I'll be honest, we very rarely take people to jail. We do a lot of counseling is what we do. So, but that's a small little story. Comment down below if you think Scott should go back to the house to see Charlie again. Comment down below, comment, yes, go see Charlie if you think Scott should go back. Guys, you think I should go back? Tell him, bring me a pizza.  I can't remember his house cause it was easy. Isn't that a sweet story? I'll have to put the pictures up but I just thought that was so sweet. Cash, what'd you just do? Did you poop in the bathtub? Cash? Did you steal daddy's popsicle? Yes.  So he was right in the middle of taking a bath and he stopped and he squatted. And he said, pee pee. And I said, are you going pee pee? He said, pee pee. I said, are you pee? And then, yeah.  Also he threw this in the tub. Thank God before he pooped in it. What am I gonna do with you boys, huh? So now I'm gonna empty this dishwasher and put all of the bath toys in it and disinfect them and, you know, the whole thing. 101 still. You need to take a cold shower. Good night, goat. You're home now. Good night, goose. Good night, cow. Where's the cow? Right there. Where's the goose? This is so abnormal for me to have him home on a Monday. It's like really great. This is normally what our life looks like on like a Wednesday or a Thursday or even a Friday. When we have daddy home and he's helpful and I can clean up around the house while he reads to cash and does bedtime. So yeah, I just washed all the toys from the bathtub and sanitized. I'm running it through a sanitizing wash in the dishwasher. I've never washed these toys in the dishwasher. So hopefully they don't get ruined but they are just bath toys so if they do, oh well. I have to take some trash out too because maybe I'll wait and let's not do that. I like going outside in the dark. So maybe I will let him do that. So I think I'm going to end the vlog here. What we have left to do in our night is go and watch the rookie and take showers and go to bed. So this was an entire day in my life. To and from school. Luckily I did have a little help today so that was nice. But I hope you guys liked this video. If you like these kind of like at homey videos give this video a thumbs up. I do still want to do some classroom vlogs so those will be coming. I also want to do a couple of sit down vlogs. I want to show you guys some of my favorite things that I've been using lately. Just some products that I think I would really like to share with you guys. So anyway, I will see you guys next time. I'll see you guys in the next vlog. Bye guys.


Hi everyone, we're going to go through A to Z of installing everything we need for Comp 1010 and writing our first program in both Eclipse and Visual Studio Code. And here with us is G who, I mean I'm G already, but we've got G on or Melody who's kindly helping us with this video. So the first thing we're going to do is we're going to search on Google or whatever search engine that you guys are using for Java SE download. SE stands for standard edition. It's the same as JDK or Java Development Kit. Can you go back one step please. Now, you'll see that there is a link for Java SE downloads Oracle technology because Java was brought over by Oracle from some micro system so we'll go there. And it's going to tell you that there is a link for the current version is 16.0.2 so we highly recommend that you download the latest version. There's a link for JDK download. That's Java Development Kit. It's the same as Java standard edition so while here it says Java SE Development Kit, they still haven't come up with an ambiguous terminology yet. So here, depending on your operating system, if you're on Mac use Mac OS installer, which is the DMG file and if you're on Windows. It's a 64-bit architecture or 32-bit architecture. It will probably tell you the right installer and we just use the 64-bit installer for our purpose. It will download the file. It's about 150 megabytes on a fast internet connection, probably 20 seconds on a slow one a minute maybe. Now, once that file is downloaded, we are going to double click on that and install it. It's on its way. No worries. I don't know that you can drag and drop partially downloaded files. Oh, I didn't know that too. Also be careful about what mirror you're downloading it from. It should be fine in this case. Okay. Anyway, give your admin rights and the installer will pop up. Here it says C drive slash program files slash Java slash JDK hyphen 16.0.2. Now that's the default part. And I suggest that you keep this part because Eclipse and Visual Studio Code often refer to this part. We go next. And it says successfully installed. And that's fine and close. We have Java standard edition. The next one is to install the integrated development environment, which is either Eclipse or Visual Studio Code. So again, we're going to go to our search engine and search for Eclipse IDE. And the first thing that comes up is eclipse dot org slash IDE. It has desktop IDs on the top right side. You'll see there is a download link with orange background. We click on that. And the latest version is Eclipse IDE 2021 hyphen 06. Now, it's important to download the latest eclipse IDE. The reason is because the latest IDE ships with JUnit 5.5 or 5.6, which we will need for our JUnit testing. So okay, you download that file. It asks for donations. Obviously you don't have to donate. And that file will be downloaded. Almost there. Okay, now Eclipse installer is there. So we're going to run that. Eclipse installer runs. There are a couple of packages that it gives you options for. We are going to use the first one which is Eclipse IDE for Java developers. Now here you will see. Now this is an important screen because it will ask you where Java resides. And you will also notice that it automatically has determined that Java is at C drive program files Java JDK hyphen 16.0.2. So that's what we're going to do. And it also tells you where do you want to install Eclipse, which is C drive slash user slash unknown blah blah blah. Okay, so software user agreement. You can read it. If you want, except install is pretty quick, takes less than 30 seconds to run completely. So now that your Eclipse ID for Java developers has been downloaded and installed, you can launch it. So all you need for writing Java programs is already there. And now we can proceed now here. The first time you choose a workspace, it's like a project area. And you can decide to have a dedicated workspace. So here it's chosen C drive slash user slash unknown slash Eclipse hyphen workspace that's the default workspace it chooses. If you're happy with that you can choose that and enable the button that says use this as default and do not ask again but G you can choose a different one if you want. We'll just leave it. That's fine and launch and don't ask again because otherwise every time it boots up it's going to ask you again. I promise won't be using this ID on Windows. Next one, you can see that on the top right side, there's a play button, and it says hide the welcome screen on the top right side. Yep, that's the one. And it takes you to eclipse nowadays they've already added a donate screen you can close the donate screen. It says donate cross. Yeah, that's it. So this is what you want your eclipse to look like. Now what we're going to do is we're going to create a new Java project. And it's quite intuitive. So you can see there's an option already create a Java project. We're going to name our project hello world now what he has already done very, very much correctly, he's, he's named it, starting with a lower case. There's no rule associated with that, but by convention project start with a lower case it also says, use the Exhibition environment jre Java se hyphen 16. And because it already did it's that that's the Java that resides on your computer and that should be used. But one thing that you should be doing is you should disable the box or uncheck the box that says create module info.java file. Click on finish directly. So it contains all project and inside that there is a jre system library folder. So it contains all the libraries which are in Java's standard library set, and that includes math and system and such libraries. It also contains a folder which is SRC. And that's a short form for source. So the source folder or the source code is in that. The source folder for SRC and create a new class. And this class should be named in upper cases. And it's again camel case. So if you say hello world, it starts with an uppercase edge. Now what he has done already he's, he's checked the box that says I would like to include the stub public static void main. You want to run a Java file. If you want the Java file to be an executable file, then you choose to include public static void main was parameter is a string array. The name of the array doesn't matter because it's a formal parameter you can change it as you want but check that if you want the program to run and finish the finish. And you'll see that eclipse does everything for you it creates the file structure. And it creates a public static void main before we proceed any further we'll do one more thing. We'll press control a. I don't even have to press control and press control plus. Sorry, I'm used to my vim controls. No control plus and control plus increases the font size. What we'll also do is some people like the dark mode better. So we're going to change the mode as well we go to window preferences. I'm sure it goes in appearance as well but at the very top general appearance, and you can see the theme can be changed from light to dark. And there's your dark theme. So you can change the theme as well. All right, I can see you really like when online number seven, which is inside our main function, we're going to write our code. So, first thing that we should do is we should add tabs so that the control is inside the main function so the indentation is correct. So you can see that G is already writing system dot out that print and in or print Ellen that's fine. Is that no so the out and print Ellen are in lower cases. You can write whatever you want. So let's see what our welcome message is. It's hello world backslash and now the backslash and is a new line character or a carriage return you don't need to include that because you've already used print Ellen. So the Ellen changes the line automatically. Oh, I will fix that. And we save this. Actually, instead of saving it, just run the program by using the play button which is on the top right side. I'm just going to quickly circle it. Perfect. Now, when you play it. Is this an option or a confirmation dialogue. Please make sure that you choose the box that says always save resources before launching. A lot of time students do that every single time throughout the semester and it's just a waste of time. You can see our our code shows up at the bottom. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to request remote control from G, so that I can write a few lines of code inside this function. And I'll. Okay, so here, I've got my main function but I'm also going to write another function. I'm going to write a very simple function and let's call a public static. Int highest. Now this highest function accepts three integers.  But when I expand on the left hand side in the package explorer you see that it says highest int comma int comma int. So in reality, that's the signature. Three integers Java doesn't see that it's a b and c Java sees that they are three integers. So the name of the variables is for our purpose only and I write this first of all we check if a is at least as big as both b and c if that's the case, we will return a immediately. Now, if the control reaches line number 16. Can you tell me what is guaranteed if we reach line number 16. It means that a is not at least more than both B and C, because if it were, we would have already returned the control. So it's between B and C, which means we can check if B is more than equal to see where it turned be. Similarly, what's guaranteed if the control reaches line number 23 that it can only be C. So we will return C unconditionally. So that's a really nice program to understand control flow. And now we will use this in our main function. We will create variables x equals 10 y equals 20 and Z equals 20 as well. We will then say, you need to finish the line line number 10. Thank you. You will see that because I didn't finish the line with a semicolon, I get this red cross sign indicating a compilation error, sorry, a compilation errors, we're going to move there and put a semicolon. Highest is now this is what we discourage having a variable which is the same name as functions, we're going to name this variable max equals, we'll call this function highest. I'll do something a little fun bit funky we'll say X plus Y, Y minus Z and Z times Y divide by X. There's a reason I'm doing this and it's to explain how actual parameters are passed into formal parameters. Finally, we are going to display our max value. First of all, let's run this program to see what the output is going to be or what we can do is we can try and do a manual trace X plus Y is 10 plus 20 which is 30. That's the value that's copied into a Y minus Z is 20 minus 20. So the value zero is copied into B and Z multiplied by Y divide by X is 20 multiplied by 20 divide by 10 so 20 times 20 is 400 divide by 10 is 40 40 is copied into C so we got 30 zero and 40. You will notice that 30 is more than equal to zero. Yes, but 30 is not more than equal to 40. So it's true and false, which is false. So it skips the conditional block goes to line 25. Zero is more than equal to 40 is false. So it skips the conditional block and goes to line number 31 and it gives returns the correct answer which is 41. Okay, 40. So when I run my program, you can see my output is 40. So this kind of understanding of controls flow where you can at least for simple programs, determine the output of the program is quite useful. And yes, that's our first program in Java what we'll also do is inside the Hello World package, we are going to create a new class. I'm going to print line and run this. Sorry, and include public static void main. And over here I'll just write this line. No worries, we can always fix these minor issues and print line and class spelling. Okay, so now when I run my program you can see that it's actually the file that's running. It's not necessarily the project that you're running, but the file that is in picture is running again I can double click on Hello World, and I can run that file instead. So that's how we use Java with eclipse I'm going to relinquish the control and give it back to Jay. And next we're going to try and do the same using which will studio code. Oh, I forgot to ask what if we wanted to get plugins, like a VIM plugin on eclipse. There is a VIM plugin for those of you who like using VIM so just Google for VIM plugin for eclipse and it can be freely done. It can be done easily but it's not in the domain of this video so we're going to move on to visual studio code. Dang it. We'll go to and on your search engine just search for Oh, wait, sorry. That's okay. Well, we can just crop this out. So you'll go to your search engine search for visual studio code. And it's code dot visual studio dot com. Download for windows. Okay, it's up, you can talk it's up fantastic so we can double click on visual studio code. File except the agreement and choose the path. It says okay whatever. And then the menu folders visual studio code if you want there's an option to not create it at the bottom left as well up to you. Next, add path which is good. And next, so basically just keep the standard options and it's fine. Is there anything else we did a download. No, there is an extension that will be downloading but that can be done from inside visual studio code. Also as a as a heavy price to pay for help for getting melodies help for this video I have to change my profile picture from messy to Leventoskey on island for the first week of the session. And so this is visual studio code. Now you'll see a cog wheel on the bottom left side. That's the one that you're going to click and choose extensions. On the top right on the top left side you see search extensions and search for Java extension back. And there is a start extension, you want to choose that and install it. Wait, okay. This isn't in the video but what about J unit. This is included in Java extension back earlier it used to be a different one but if you see the fourth fifth or sixth one from the top it says Java test runner. Let me annotate on your screen. So Java test runner. So that's the one for J unit testing. And that is a part of Java extension back now earlier it did it wasn't the case, but now it is. Okay. So that has been installed which is good. Now visual studio code processes Java project slightly differently from eclipse for visual studio code it's all about keeping things in the same folder. You'll see on the bottom, sorry, on the top left side, there is a folder icon. Just above that, yep, and we're going to open folder. And we're going to create a new folder if you want in here or inside desktop wait a second on the top left corner, you can see organize and new folder. Just to the right of organize there is new folder there. We're going to name it hello world again. And select that folder. I trust the authors. Yes, I trust the authors and close the welcome screen. Okay. Now, in us in here, you can add a new file so can you expand hello world as well. Okay. Slowly please expand hello world where it says drop down. Okay now keep it there. You'll see there are four options. Okay, so now the leftmost one is create a new file the second leftmost is create a new folder and refresh and whatever. The first one is new file we're going to create a new file. And we're going to name it with uppercase edge, because now please notice that file name doesn't have to be the same as the folder name so instead of hello world let's name it something different. Let's name it melody dot Java with an uppercase and again it's not disallowed but it's just convention that you start with an uppercase now this is the good part about visual studio code. I mean of course eclipse did everything for you from scratch when it generated the public class and inside that generate public static what may, but it's not too difficult in visual studio code either. Can you go there can you close the welcome panel. The right yep that's the one so you can see more okay now type in class or lower cases and you'll see the second option with the square and enter. And you can see that it generates public class melody automatically. Again here again what melody has done is he's moved one tap forward which is good and type main, correct, and you can see again there is an option for autocomplete, and can you get rid of this main and we'll do it slowly one more time. Okay, we tap forward and type main and we choose the option which has a square against it, which is the first one. It automatically generates public static what may inside that you can type whatever you want for system.out.println. I'm sure there's a I think there's a shortcut for that but I've never used it so I don't remember what it is. All right, so you've typed in a command and the command is good there is no red line there is no problem. I think the studio code has a slightly different way of indicating problems to talk about in a second but if you run the program now, and there's an option for run just above public static void main you can see it says run for debug. And there's also an option on the top right corner with that play button. So here it gives you a bit of junk. And then at the bottom line, it says hello world. I haven't been able to figure out a way to get rid of that whole verbatim output that it has. So if someone figures it out, please feel free to email me. Now what we do is we deliberately add a syntactical error by getting rid of that semicolon at the end of line six. What we'll also do is, can you go to that folder icon on the top left corner. Yep. Okay, now you'll see that melody to Java in open editors, the font color has changed to red. So let me annotate on that. You can see over here. It has changed to red font and that's indicating that there is a syntactical error in your program. So we're going to fix our program and add a semicolon at that at the end of that line. And save our program and you can see that now the font color has changed back to white indicating there is no error. On line number seven, let's add a variable declaration so create any variable of your choice and initialize it to a value if you want. Save it at that. And you'll see that the font color of melody dot Java has changed to yellow. So this indicates a warning, and the warning is that the variable is never being used. So warnings mean that your program will still run. It just means that there are some variables not being used or some functions not being called. That's it basically. So that's how you install Java Eclipse and Visual Studio Code. I mean play around with both Visual Studio Code and Eclipse and see which one you like better. There's another one. Netbeans. You can try that as well IntelliJ, NetBeans or JetBrains, whatever, you can try that as well. And yeah, stick to whatever you like. So that's how we install and set up our programming environment, including programming language and IDE. In another video, we're going to see how we import projects and how we write jail tests as well. Thank you very much. Thank you, G, for helping us with this.
