Let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK What's this this in case we go live and you happen to miss it? This is where all the highlights will be in things of that nature We also got the patreon Yeah, we haven't uploaded today, but we watched the video for today. It's even uploaded To vmeo first, whatever. This is the merch Check it out when you got time And we also got the discord man links to all of these things are down in the description Let's watch h&p prison interview. Somebody told me to watch this on patreon Okay See where this is going already It was this face just What's your name? My name is Jack Lloyd. I already have 26 what you import section 18 cabinet one I don't give you been in opinion six years. I don't give you got left six year eight month so I'm gonna get straight to you mate How did all this happen? How did you start? I was certainly 10 do you fight for the cash and transit robber at? I was remanded on that in 2015 I'm a release date with July 2020 at eight months left I was in Stoke East Cassie called jail and it was transferred to open conditions HMP Subra I have scondid from open conditions and was at large for a week You are about to get out you have open conditions and you have scondid from it like you ran away What an it what a tool Why would you do that that's when I got it for the section 18 sash into the face. Oh Dude's face is what you did The court has given you a harsh sentence Well in terms of sentencing guidelines No, I got I was happy with what I got or in terms of finding me guilty by 12 people and not I think I've been wrongly convicted and Do you plan to be searing the appeals? Buddy had from here. I'm talking he lined them up How did the media betray him Media won't present in the court so nothing really made the papers So I am really happy at my case. I've really had much media coverage. Oh Well, that's I guess that's useful for you when you get back out. Keep in mind. I don't condone any of this Accessible to give all I do put my name in the location and What's the truth? What do you want to clear up? What do you want to get off your chest? Because I know when people get convicted of crimes It's only 10% of the truth is go out. How do they how are they even doing this? Not everything is out.  Well, you know, they're like that. I I allegedly done He made a statement to the police immediately and then a month later when insert ashton police station made a six-page statement told on you Immediately thought he was a part of that life that he wasn't gonna tell but nope. Yeah, I was a victim of a crime I don't got a buck fifty on me It was People don't want to give up the lifestyle they're living Okay, what is a grafter though? Like what is the definition of a grafter? Is that just a thief? like Because the grafter is not a gangster, right? I Was never really clear on that if a grafter is not a gangster and you slash a grafter's face And he told on you he's not a snitch.  He don't live by that code. He can tell on you you chose the wrong person, buddy And I don't condone it. You shouldn't have chose nobody but that he don't live by that rule. I Don't think he's a snitch You hit a civilian Now that's if a grafter is not a gangster The email looks like that way his grass is in flashing if you bang around these grasses Do you feel that times have changed? There's no honor amongst thieves? First of all Second of all, like I don't even does that a code apply to thieves and criminals. I thought it was just applied to You know I'm saying Like the gangster part of it Of course if you go out and do a crime together and you get caught with your co-defendant. Okay, cool. Now you But like I'll just be on my own grafting.  I'm acting How do you know the victim It's just a local just a local market from from from my area Where you were the victim on good terms not at the time But was you previously like Tell me about him. What was you doing with your mates and stuff you chill now same as makes you just an equation And Obviously for some bizarre reason he decided to tell the police that slashed his face with a flip knife All right, so what I don't know what a graphic is man. So I say all that but I don't really know So what actually happened bro? What the day the day the day of the alleged offense, yeah Well, basically I was I was I was on my own and and and to keep story short I went and met him and another acquaintance And I got into a vehicle with the boat for them and allegedly I reached over into the passenger seat The victim started slashing his face twice Well, so it's quite gruesome. Yeah So you backdoored him anyway So you you essentially snuck him Like didn't even you know give him a fair chance to defend himself. He was in the backseat He was in the front seat you reached up clink clink clink Man get the fucker man. Stop it Was there a lot of blood?  Yeah, I'm on so far How many inches seven inches or six inches? How did you feel after you did it? I never done it I saved his life. I got him to what's built and this is all is a rebate man behind me So who did it there? There's only two of y'all in the car. There's only three a total of three of y'all in the car If you ain't do it and he got hit in the face So are you blaming the other guy there? Because if that's the case there is reasonable doubt until he pointed you out Where did it happen bro? It happened on the Greenwood Clothing And so where about are you from? I'm from the Droyles, one of the Chinaman So what was it like? How messy did it get? Didn't it just that the What actually happened is I was I was with the victim I company with a mutual friend and we both got out the car and there's a third party there And it was a dispute over the vehicle And I was there that day to return the keys to a vehicle and make my way home And before they could make my way home this person that was on the outside of the car decided to start stabbing that Evicting in the face multiple times. I waited in to stop the lag from causing any more damage And for sure, but like I thought I'd been stabbed in the chest and I thought I needed to get tops But before he died and that's what I've done. I chased him up the street and he was crying for his life with his mum his wet his pants And um, obviously I got him back to the car and I got him to got him to the hospital So he was pretty nervous and shaking up to wait his pants and he was crying for his mum So there was no witnesses. Nobody was no witnesses at all I'm convicted of one person were alone and at the trial he decided to answer no questions, but I still found the other That seems pretty harsh to me. Yeah What have you seen since you've been in prison? What scares you? What bullies you? You've got to be on the right hand, you're on the right way, but nothing in the scares man You've been in prison since 2016.  Yeah. Yeah, that's correct. Yeah. So tell me about that, mate I'm not being much of a talk about real life was I was on the I was on the internal stairwell on f2 before the spank and the Two little girls basically I wasn't there with me and wasn't coming with a little blade Wankers, didn't they? Yeah Tell me how you overcome most obstacles. You've just got to take a step back. I'm gonna deep breath in and assess the situation and tackle it head on So what do you do on an everyday basis? Nothing at all. This is calling my in's coming with limited to what we can do and what options we have got to do throughout the day Jack, I'm gonna be straight over here. Do you have a drug problem? No, not at all.   I ain't got a lot. I've never seen this type of tracks and like this It's like shorts, but not shorts, but I don't know. What's your biggest weakness? Um, I've got a good heart Tell me about yourself. Tell tell us all about yourself that people don't know Not really much. It's heaven and prison. I'm alive and fortunate now since I'm 16 I'm nothing. I've been much living Because I've known you for a few months now. I'm not really close, but I've seen you about it I mean, you've seen me before, right? You've seen one before? Yeah, that's the best way to be a finger. I don't know if I trust Jack, man On the landing I didn't go live after hearing this story. You know, it's back door, buddy Allegedly from the back seat and hit him with the You know what I'm saying You're questionable What do you think about strange ways about all the corruption the screws bringing in drugs? Oh, he's in strange ways Tell me what what do you think about that, bro? Are you worried that the screws might come in on you? I'm not worried now, but I've been here multiple times and you know, obviously They've got other than viewers that actually there's no there's no there's no meat in the middle And I'll just say it's a notorious place where they do. Yeah, they do smash your head in They do come in, fire up and attack them, so they need Unprovoked You know, I mean, there's not really much you can do about it because it's at high level So, you know, there is a complaints procedure But the people that are answering them complaints are the friends of the people that are smashing your head in So you're in a bit of a bit in a bit of a situation when you start making formal complaints About them as a staffer. There's no one really prepared to listen to you Staff don't protect staff, right? They're coming on you? Oh, yeah, over the years, not in here, fortunately not not not in here But yeah, multiple times from from from being working away from the juvenile estate to the obviously the wilds of them as a conger Been a solid Pure times off screws. Tell us about that man's time, but when they got him in the office Oh, yeah, Officer Costello used to be a non-PL In strange ways, he was known for breaking people's jaws and strangling people and you know all that type of behavior And uh myself and one of my friends had been having a bit of a running joke with a female member of staff I'm dealing in 2017 in strange ways called Miss Lachlan and Irish lady would go on there And he dropping names and everything Jack got receipts. What? Another member of the staff's obviously Reported our behavior towards his female member of the staff and I was called to Mr. Costello's office over there Patrol state when obviously the whole of the jail's locked down and all the cells could be open And there was another S-hole stuff sat on the desk and two current security members of staff that still work here to this day And uh, basically Mr. Costello called me to the office and questioned me about what what what I've been going on with myself and Miss Lachlan and basically said that if if it was to continue he would he would break my arms and snap my phones and Um That's them sort them sort of threats which he was capable of doing because you know It's never the one on one situation with these members of staffing.  Yeah It was a one I won't lie. It was not scary so much. It was just that he had the he had the upper on me Right, he could have come in my side anytime when I wasn't prepared him and trainers on my already to Swing out. I you prepare yourself when you when you've got this view See y'all see when he said not prepared didn't have my trainers on that's why I really don't wear sandals outside That's an automatic like Disadvantage Yeah, so since then how does that treat him? I was trying to not speak to him. Just learn over the years. You don't engage him. Then you You can't really have a problem with him and the ones that Try and seek you out and draw you out and draw you into them situations I don't I try not to give them an inch So, how did the tree in general them day to day at all? I could say I don't really engage with them But you know, it's a long winded everything's long winded in there and And things don't once new lady like trees raises a place where do you want you to have to bear minimum? Okay. Well, where'd you see yourself in five years? I'm not going to rely to you. This is a prison on prisoner interview And this is better than a lot of the interviews that I've been watching I don't know for a bit. I'll I'll be out and about doing the thing again. I want to keep you in there If you can say something to your victim, what would you say?  You have to live amongst some people For your duration your time while you're in prison What do you miss the most? I miss being around my family and actually even for them and being generous and being out there living life to the full So you've done a very few Christmases in here. Yeah, you must be hard. Yeah, it's terrible. Yeah Do you have kids? No, no, but I'm no kids Do you feel safe in prison? Yeah, I think I think obviously you'd be lying if everyone said they feel safe But often that's true in it. You've got to be on point. Obviously there's always There's always situations that come Rather than I think if you were just walking around with your head in the clouds and you You didn't have that anxiety and you stung a thing today, then obviously things things things could Creep up on you that you're not prepared for so I could be definitely wrong about the whole grass situation.  How long was you free? Well, technically I wasn't free was I've had scumbag from open conditions. So I was free but I shouldn't have been out of prison. I had eight months like to serve ever It was a week before it was at the end of them brought back to open conditions charge of the fresher fence Yeah, it's a ill you didn't lose it.  In terms of what survivors how do you like? How do you keep yourself do you have enough support network? Yeah, I've got family and friends, and I've got obviously, you know, some people are fortune Or so I've got well, yeah, I've got some of the structure of people out there that I wanted to stand by me And you know, I've made my time easier and I want to get out of there paying them people That's fair enough. So Come to the end of the interview now And is there anything that you want to clear up and you want to get off your chest and nothing at all? All right, then we'll thank you for That's a w interview, man I know I need some things clarified in the comments. So feel free man. T. L. O. Leave a like comment subscribe turn on post notice Go


Hi, I'm Jeremy, co-founder of Funfair. We've spent the last 18 months building a platform that uses state channels, which is now live on Mainnet and has been for about a month. So, realistically, I'm going to talk to you today about our experiences that we've learned over the last 18 months doing this. So, what is Funfair? Funfair is a casino platform which allows a wide variety of games to be run in real-time, but the gameplay is backed on the chain using state channels, as we will be talking about today. So, I'm going to blast through this. We have a fairly specific form of state channels that we've developed for our application rather than developing something massively generalised. So, we have a two-party bi-directional channel and we support a fully generic state machine. So, we will support state machines that pretty much can do anything. As long as it can be expressed in a contract hall that can be executed on the chain, I'm going to talk about that in some detail. We also provide an integrated RNG into this, which is a form of a complex commit reveal scheme using hashes. It's deterministic but not predictable, and we feed essentially one random number into every state transition that's available for the state machines to use. It's optimised for our use, for casino games. Unlike a lot of the examples that people talk about when they have chess people taking one move and then another move and then another move, we advance the state with an action from both players at the same time. So, it's more like rock paper scissors where both people are doing this at the same time and we combine that together with the random number to produce the next state in the sequence. This actually makes writing the state machines themselves a lot simpler as there's only really one function to advance the state, but it does make dispute resolution quite a bit harder. So, all of our disputes which can come from various reasons, timeouts, network problems, incorrect state transitions, just general software problems, we reduced to a single statement which is that the other party is not following the protocol of a state channel. And state channels, it's really important to understand, are a protocol. They are a series of statements by which the state is advanced. Those are the rules that need to be followed. So, if that actually happens, then the person makes a claim on chain using the previous cosine state that both parties have agreed to and what they think the next one should be. And the contract validates that that's a valid state transition. And if that is correct, then we raise a dispute. And then the counter party can do a number of things. They can go, okay, that was a problem, right, I better do something about this. And they can provide the next state transition and if that's done and validated on chain, then we have a great side effect which means that we can actually carry on from that point off chain and complete the contract. This is a really, really powerful thing. The counter party can say no dispute, as in, well, you know, yeah, probably that's my fault and we just close the channel where we are. The counter party can do nothing if their laptop is blown up or if they've gone on holiday. The channel times out and the claimant can close the channel subsequently to that with a penalty to the party that timed out. Or they can challenge with a later cosine state. Now, in various implementations of that, there's penalties or not, whether or not someone has maliciously tried to close a channel with an earlier state. We think that is malicious, especially because we're treating the casino games here. So we treat that as a penalty to the person that put the earlier state on the chain because of the variance. So building a customer-facing DAP is hard, I think most people know that. Using state channels does not make this any easier. If you want to build an automated system that interacts directly with a blockchain, it's even harder still. So this is really a talk about what we've faced while we've done that, with experiences from the team, quite a few of which are here today. So let's start with the topic de jour. So customers are non-boarding. So fun fact, we really aimed our initial product to at least people that had some crypto somewhere, right? Or vaguely knew what was going on. Most people, he says hand-wavingly, hold crypto in exchange is relatively few have actual wallets and interact with the chain directly. But we need to take people through this. So the usual stuff that you have to explain to people, gas price, gas limit, what happens if you get them wrong, if you get transactions stuck that can't be mined, we have to take people through this process to be able to get them in front of the state channel. We didn't really want to roll out our own wallet. We wanted to be wallet agnostic with this. So anyone that's got a wallet of any shape or form, you can use that. Lots of people are working on wallets. So why do work that other people are doing? But relatively few of these are out of beta or with these properly support arbitrary apps. And even then, we are at the mercy of someone else's code for our entire platform to function at all. In the month we've been live, Metamask have broken our app four times, which is really not particularly helpful. This particular, the first error, is happened the day we launched when you asked it to make a transaction to the chain. It made a transaction to the chain and then reported an error saying that transaction had not been made to the chain. So this does not help writing automated code. Also, it's very unclear what customers are actually signing when they open a channel. I mean, this is just like some data. What does that actually mean? That's the raw data for part of an open channel. You might get to see something like this. Why would I press that button? I don't really know. We've got some, right? What does that do? So, but we've got to encourage our users to do that. So we've got work to do here. Also, this is another entertaining thing. We managed to get into this situation, trying to open a state channel using a ledger with 16 button presses going through random streams of hex digits, not particularly custom friendly. So I know that people are working on this a lot, but where we are today is not good enough to get in front of customers. So realistically, we need to wait for it to get better. That's the lazy approach. Roll our own solution or collaborate with people that are doing this. And I know lots of other people are doing it. We're here on a mission to find a partner to help us with this. So if you've got anything interesting to say, please do get in touch. But it's certainly our biggest short-term problem as a customer-facing live application at the moment. Finally, it's hard to explain to customers what's going on and why it's fair. It's hard enough with this blockchain in general. But to try and talk to them about state channels, you don't get very far without having to explain what a hash function is and why it's important. And to really prove that a channel is fair, you need to be able to understand and read contract code. You need to be able to validate the signatures of each state transition. And you need to be able to validate that the state transitions were correctly executed by both parties, which basically no one's going to do. So we need to work on that a little bit. I think there's some interesting stuff along the lines of witnesses or watchtowers, and Patrick's going to talk about that later today. And I think that might be able to provide some sort of a help here. But it's just in terms of getting customers to understand what they're doing.  I don't know if you can see that. So, yes, everything was fine, the signatures were validated, the smart contract validated at all. But what does that mean? It doesn't mean a huge amount. It means that we said that that's the case. If you want to do it yourself, you've got to go and look at this lovely piece of Jason and try and submit it to the chain, which also isn't going to work. So we need to try and bring those two things together so that we can really get our customers to understand and believe that state channels are actually secure and work. Which they do. Right, quick one on liveness. So state channels require participants to be live as in you have to always be there to respond to the messages to advance the state. If you go away, the channel can't advance. So it's fairly obvious in itself. But if you go away, how long do you go away for before you do something about that? If you just turn your computer off and walk away, you have violated the protocol of a state channel. So the longer the channel is expected to last, the longer your timeouts need to be. I think that's probably self-explanatory. But timeouts need to be short or long. There's a period in the middle where it makes no sense for the timeouts to be. So what situations are you trying to cover? If the user just closed his laptop and walked away, well, you know, then you can probably close the channel fairly quickly. But if it's important enough and there's enough value in that channel that if they've broken their laptop or they've gone on holiday and they've forgotten about it, the risk to them of losing all of their funds, you have to really understand and think when you're building a channel what values you want to choose for your timeouts. Right, automated blockchain transactions I need to crack on. We have written some headless service processes that interact with the blockchain to provide the casino end of this casino game. They don't really have any decisions to make themselves. They just need to follow the protocol. But turns out this is quite hard. There are hundreds of different situations that can occur. And failure to deal with any of them is a protocol violation and penalty. Anytime an automated process interacts with a blockchain, you have to really watch this. If you don't notice a transaction, has been mined or an event issued, that's a protocol violation. If you try and mine a transaction and it doesn't get mined, that's a protocol violation. So you need to make very careful assumptions about gas price and you need to react if it looks like a transaction that you put into the transaction port is now no longer going to get mined because the gas price has changed. We have issues with event feeds but so we just triple check everything that every single way we possibly can. And this is a quick one on uncalls and reals. I mean, how long do you want to wait? I mean, we definitely, there are people in this room that would say that we don't wait long enough. I'm fully aware about that to open a channel but regardless of that, not noticing a chain reorganisation is a protocol violation. So you can have interesting situations where both parties in the channel want to raise a dispute separately. They both do it in the same block. One of them gets mined before the other one so this one throws because you can only have one dispute on a channel at a time. Then you have a chain reorganisation and they happen in the other order and we've got to have automated code that can spot that and react to that and continue and not crash or do the wrong thing. And that's just one example of many of the things that need to happen. And the client code needs to do that as well because you can't have your users try and work out manually what's going on when the chain's been reorganised. I will say that if anyone's actually developing this stuff, we moved on to the main net from the various test nets way too late in the process and it's very, very different main net from any of the other test networks. So if you're trying to do anything automated on the blockchain, get on main net as soon as you can. All right, state machines, the kind of meat of this. Sorry, we're trying to not do everyone's implementation of a definition of a state machine but a state machine is code that implements this function which is a function that takes a state and an action on that state and returns a new state. And it has a function that has no side effects so it's entirely self-contained. All state machines which represent the individual games, the slot machines, the roulettes, black-aroud, blackjack, all of that stuff are written individually in solidity and we deploy these to the chain in advance. There are people here that would say that there are other ways of doing that but we do it primarily so that it's there in advance and you know what you're getting into when you start a contract. It leads to some interesting challenges though. Each state transition has to run in less than a max gas for a block otherwise you can't advance the state easily but they still need to be cheap regardless as in a dispute both parties have to execute this code. It's causing some unexpected design decisions for when it comes to writing generic games as we've done over the years. You end up doing things like using complex lookup tables rather than just a very simple mathematics calculation to get that stuff cheap. You confront this cost to the deployment of the contract. Some of our original contracts had several multi-million gas transactions to be deployed on chain because of the size of the lookup tables but we've made significant progress with that. The EVM is interesting to traditional developers when you're writing non-crypto code which this isn't really the game these state machines.  This code should never be written by anyone ever but it is the best way of doing it currently in Solidity if you want to get at this stuff done cheaply. Right, also this is a new problem for state machines. State machines can't really throw. I mean they're not supposed to have any side effects so there's nothing to undo but they have to always work. If you can reach a position where in a state machine is in a given state and the next state transition will cause that state machine to have an overflow or even throw or some sort of exception or something that causes a transaction to fail you cannot resolve that dispute and this is actually exploitable. So we have various validate calls that we do to make sure that you can't bet on 37 on roulette or minus one or something right which could cause problems but this code has a whole new set of vulnerabilities different to other Solidity vulnerabilities that you would experience writing generic blockchain code and you need to think about this very, very carefully. Debugging, I'm going to probably skip through this it's debugging hard on the blockchain that's just really simple when you run in private nodes with the black boxes they crash they go down they take ages to restart the test nets depending on what day the week it is sometimes work but they're not particularly representative of mainnet remixed debugging when it works is actually quite fun I'd love to stepping through individual transactions on mainnet and what our customers have done but it's all pretty hard just be aware of that I'm doing good, good time So packing and unpacking we are ultimately preventing that the state channel is an interface that lets the state the state advance but it calls out into the state machine to actually advance the state so this thing has to deal with lots of data that it doesn't understand you don't want the state channel to be able to know what in meaning of the actual state is beyond the actual balances of each individual participant so we end up passing around blocks of binary data which the state machine can use freely but that then means that you end up having to pack and unpack this data fairly regularly so we ended up writing a full code generator for packing and unpacking data people say it's like Google's protobuf site wouldn't necessarily know that generates code for solidity typescript and C-sharp so that all three languages can actually unpack and unpack in a consistent way and so the code that needs to understand this can and the code that can't doesn't need to I think that makes sense so I'm very much looking forward to the day when the experimental ABI encoder version two is no longer experimental and for ABI decode in solidity 0.5 and I will say if you're doing any sort of state channel you should be looking forward to that too it's going to make life significantly easier for packing and unpacking arbitrary data inside solidity contracts upgrading contracts so yeah again I mean that's obviously hard anyway you have to build in upgrade ability to most of the things that you're doing on the chain right now but you might have a channel that's open so your client software needs to be able to make sure that it can run both versions of channels at the same time but the most important part of this is that state channels involves signing stuff off-chain and putting it on-chain so you don't get any of the natural replay protection stuff that a regular transition transaction would make so you have to be very careful about replay attacks it's very very easy to get that wrong I mean a simple way there are many ways to get stuff is to ensure that the contract address of the code that's verifying the signature of the data is actually stored in the data and it's not the only way of doing it but it's a simple way of not making too many mistakes but if you have data that's validated over here and then pass on to other contracts that's not necessarily the case trust some blockchains are trustless as a result of decentralisation and consensus mechanisms state channels are fundamentally trustless through the protocol so the protocol defines a trustless system but how do you create a trustless implementation of a state channel and this is a problem for DAPS in general it's all very well saying that stuff is secure but who wrote the typescript code that's running in my browser this is a problem that DAPS in general will face again there are people looking at solutions to this stuff but we've got plenty of work to do here to prevent the various attack vectors right okay good so I just thought of a couple of pages of some actual real stats for you guys based on what we've discovered over the last month so our channels are designed to be short lived so a few hours really is the longest we would expect although we've had longer than that we're seeing an average of 200 state transitions per channel but we've had one that did nearly 5 000 back at the envelope calculation would suggest that this channel would have cost one and a half billion gas or nearly three thousand dollars to run on chain it took 60 cents so this stuff does work this stuff really does work and it does achieve a scalability and the cost-saving reductions so people say it does approximately 5% of those channels end in a user time and out 50% of those are ragequits which is people just closing their laptop because they have limited value in the channel and there's more effort for them just to turn the laptop off and to actually close the channel but actually you know I'm two and a half percent I'm taking that as a good number actually that's a lot better than we thought it was going to be and a significant number of the others are basically people getting bored trying to wait for the channel to open put the wrong gas value in or whatever we need to work on that as well but once you're in the channel things seem to work pretty smoothly ish so these two things I am actually very proud of even the first one we've had one failure of our automated casino system to correctly advance the state now that's a bug that's fine though these things happen but the protocol worked all right player raised the dispute and claimed the dispute and they got paid and the casino did get penalised and actually this is good for the players this is the system actually doing what it's supposed to do we need to write less bugs it's fine but it's good and it really worked and I'm really actually proud that it paid out and then we've had two channels that actually had a dispute resolved it on chain and come off chain and continued and you know that's the thing that very very proud of that that's worked and two minutes go we're done thank you very much I didn't think I'd get through that in time so I've got two minutes so I can probably take one question if anyone's got anything otherwise we'll crack on yeah so just a quick question regarding the main net and testnet your observation what's what's the main difference what's the what's your what do you mean by that main net okay so the the key point on that one although my guys here can tell you more about it is that most of the testnets don't real I mean on a regular basis you don't see you don't see uncle blocks we see a lot of uncle blocks on the main net that make it into you know we've seen that transaction we've started to do things or tell the user that that's happened but then it's gone away and it's and you have to real we've had to do you know do something else and if you don't catch that if you don't spot that it's happened that's the main that's the main one that's out of there obviously it's a bit slower sometimes and the different consensus mechanisms from the testnets behaviour of somewhat differently but that's the main one it'll help you see uncles and then find out what you need to do about them cool one and a half minutes I was going over here you wanna come to the microphone okay, thanks so did you decide like not to wait for confirmations or we do wait for some right but we actually vary it based on I don't know if this works but someone had the crazy idea of waiting for using the first derivative of the rate of change of the rate of change of the gas price and if the gas price is changing you are more likely to get uncle blocks I don't know that if that's actually true or not but we use that as a metric to work out how much longer we should wait okay what do you deal with the user experience on the setting up the site channel well I mean we built a reasonably complex UI in front of this right so we've spent a lot of time on our UI to try and talk people through exactly what's going on so this stuff is all live by the way you can see demo version of it on thumbfair.io and we have our first casino is live for those of you in the limited number of jurisdictions that it's available for but you can you can go and see what we do with that but we talk people through the process we create the transactions we show them nice spinny things waiting for the block to be mined and then when it's all done the game the game launches and stuff so we put a lot of effort into that at least anyway cool I think that's it thank you very much

Synthetic photochemistry carried out in classic batch reactors has, for over half a century, proved to be a powerful but underutilized technique in general organic synthesis. Recent developments in flow photochemistry have the potential to allow this technique to be applied in a more mainstream setting. This review highlights the use of flow reactors in organic photochemistry, allowing a comparison of the various reactor types to be made. This article was authored by Jonathan P. Knowles, Luke D. Elliott and Kevin I. Booker-Milburn.


Welcome to this Farm Accounting 101 presentation on sample accounting entry number 8, recording corn sales as a bank deposit. I'm Robert Page, Regional Extension Agent and member of the Farm and Agribusiness Management team with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System at Auburn University. As we have said in earlier presentations, the Farm Accounting 101 series is intended to help Alabama producers to improve their farm financial literacy. Farmers like any other small business have the same basic financial transactions every year, so we study typical checks and deposits. We also learn the accounting principles behind these checks and deposits. In today's sample entry, the farmer has sold corn and deposited the money into the farm checking account. In this sample entry, the farmer deposited $2,179.70 into the bank after selling corn to the local grain elevator. Note, some farmers keep more detailed production records than others. Many farmers would also want this entry to record the fact that they sold 614 bushels of corn for $3.55 per bushel on the bank deposit. Now let's change our view to the Excel spreadsheet. In this view of the Excel spreadsheet, please note that this entry is on sheet 1, where it says Part 1 Income, and this transaction is dated October 12, 2019. In the second column under column B, we've recorded that this is corn sales for the 2019 crop. The total dollar amount of the bank deposit is $2,179.70, and where do we allocate this deposit to? The answer is column G under line 2, sales of livestock, produce, grains, and other products you raised. So the $2,179.70 is recorded as an income item on the farm. Also on sheet 3, on this spreadsheet under the profit summary, here you can see that this $2,179.70 is shown as an income item under line 2 in our profit and loss summary. So it does impact the profit and loss report for the tax return. Now let's change back to the PowerPoint presentation. If you have not used the Excel spreadsheet in this series before, it is available. This spreadsheet is available for producers to download and to find the spreadsheet, select the ACES website at www.aces.edu, and select the topic tab entitled Farming, and then Farm Management to find the article entitled Using an Excel Spreadsheet for Farm Financial Records. There is a link to this spreadsheet embedded in the article. Now let's take a look at the accounting entry, which is a simple one. In line 1, cash, farm checking, which is a current asset of the farm, is debited and increases by the amount of the bank deposit for $2,179.70. The offsetting entry is a sale account, which is an income account. And in this instant, we are showing it as sales corn, which is an income account specifically for this farm. And it is credited for $2,179.70. And like all accounting entries, debit and credit entries must be in balance. And as a reminder note, farmers wishing to keep more detailed records are encouraged to add the number of bushels sold and price per bushel in the memo field of this deposit entry. We close by saying thank you for watching today's Farm Accounting 101 presentation on sample accounting entry number 8, recording corn sales as a bank deposit. This segment of the Farm Accounting 101 series has been produced by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System Farm and Agribusiness Management Team at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama.

Cavalcade of America the DuPont company maker of better things for better living through chemistry presents Raymond Massey in wire to the West on Cavalcade of America and here is Raymond Massey. Good evening tonight the DuPont company brings Cavalcade of America back for its 15th year on the air. I've been here many times before in many roles and on this opening night I'm here in a new character, Hiram Sibley a man whose work has touched the lives of every man and woman in America and here's the story. It's Washington DC back in the middle of the last century. Mr. Hiram Sibley of Rochester, New York enters the sleepy little telegraph office. Anyone here? Hello? Hello? I mean I hear you the first time. I want to send this telegram to Rochester. Oh Rochester. Got it read out? Of course. Rochester is pretty expensive. You'd save yourself a lot of money if you send it to New York. Even Boston would be cheaper. Will you please send this to Rochester? All right if you like. I was just advising you. I've seen now October 4, 1849 Mrs. Elizabeth Sibley your wife. Yeah but why? Just curious. Mrs. Elizabeth Sibley business successfully concluded. Leave Washington today. Arrive home Tuesday. Kiss the children. Love, Hiram. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirty. Kissing the children is going to cost you actually. Fees a dollar and seventy-five cents for ten words. Twenty-five cents a word thereafter. Still want to kiss them? Of course. That'll be two dollars and fifty cents. There you are. When will it arrive? Now sir that is a mighty good question. A mighty fine one. When will it arrive? Now let's see if we can figure that out. From Washington here, New York, well that'll be quick. That's our own line. So let's say it'll get New York about oh eight night. That means it'll start upstate New York tomorrow morning. Why not tonight? Oh it came to our line from New York to Albany. No no that's another line. That means it has to be took over to the other company by messenger. And messengers they quit at seven. Starts upstate tomorrow morning, gets to Albany, then switch to another line. Maybe it'll be on its way to Buffalo by evening. But why Buffalo? I want this sent to Rochester. Yes but we just been informed that we ain't on talking terms with the company that's got a line into Rochester. We send to Buffalo. And there it would probably be put in the mail. The stagecoach takes a day from Buffalo to Rochester. Oh better say too. Well? Well I'd say it's got a pretty fair chance of arriving in Rochester early Wednesday morning. But I'll be there myself on Tuesday. Yeah sure you will. Well won't that be nice. Your wife won't have to bother going down to the telegraph office to get the message. You can pick it up yourself. One hundred years ago the infant telegraph industry teetered on the brink of chaos over 50 different lines large and small were operating along the eastern seaboard of the country. A few even reaching timidly westward towards the Mississippi. But it was progress without pattern. Messengers more often than not failed to get through rates were raised and lowered without reason without warning. And that was a bear a hundred years ago. I tell you I am it's a tremendous opportunity you just got to come in with the building on a telegraph line. Judge Selden seems to me the country is overstocked with telegraph lines already and they're all of them bad. Oh it's simply sit down please go right ahead with your talk how far the coffee well I am can I count you in. I don't see a judge you don't know seems like a ridiculous venture at least at this time right after morse and then the telegraph every Johnny and his cousin Mary began building telegraph lines result is that the country is suffering from a bad case of telegraph it is I am the country's growing and the telegraph will grow with it maybe maybe so maybe when the men who run the telegraph industry begin to get some idea what the public expects what it won't maybe then it will amount to something well I must say I'm disappointed in your reaction higher that's the way I feel about it judge things stand now I want no part of the telegraph and I suppose there's no use taking up more of your time I'll be getting on but you will stay and have some coffee sorry afraid not necessarily late past my bedtime no hard feelings judge of course not won't change your mind no well good night good night judge good night I'm surprised with me that judge is usually so sound in his business judgment this while skiing telegraph I don't see it I think I'll sit and read in the pile effort bit Elizabeth if you see that book I was reading the federalist papers I put it on your desk in the study is it an interesting book very interesting the arguments of Hamilton Madison and some of the other great statesman of the time for the need of a strong national government you wouldn't think they had to fight for the Constitution I give for it but they had to they had to show that the country would never get anywhere as long as the state kept apart each rival in the other they show that the only way the country could survive was with a strong central authority seems to me Hiram that that's just what the telegraph companies need well isn't that right you mean some central authority or something to bring them together so they can serve the people efficiently so they can give the country what it needs those responsible dependable cheap way of sending messages across the country yeah yeah well I'm going up to bed good night good night let's put it this way judge I changed my mind you astonish me Hiram why you seem so set in your views when we spoke together last week the only things I know of it never changed their minds and mad dogs and politicians I'm neither I'm a businessman I'll come in with you judge but with one reservation and that simply this the main objective of our business will not be just to build another telegraph line to the Mississippi our goal will be to gather all of the telegraph lines in our territory under a single vigorous enterprise one that will serve the public first last and always on that basis I'll come in on that basis Hiram it's a deal on September 6th 1850 Hiram Sibley judge Samuel Selden and a group of other prominent Rochester businessmen formed the New York and Mississippi Valley printing telegraph company as soon as all the details were set Hiram Sibley battered old traveling bag in hand began to wander along the highways and byways of the back country of the Middle West he began to lay the groundwork of his dream hello there Blacksmith I say hello I am are you Mr. Kittleheim well my name is Hiram Sibley I'm very glad to meet you show got a horse to show well bring your credit no I said I was glad to meet you now try to be any come here and find out this fellow on pretty hot weather isn't it Mr. Kittleheim no ain't gonna vote for that fellow gonna vote straight wig ticket we'll be walking something Mr. Yes ma'am my name is Hiram Sibley I've been told that your husband owns some stock in the Cleveland and Cincinnati telegraph companies that right wish it was what you're saying to me he ain't said nothing yet well and I'll get back to work no no wait I I'd like to talk to you about the stock do you have it here part of it part of it had a mighty fine engraving a Jackson on it we got it framed inside pretty picture you've got the stock frame no just the picture cut it out and fixed it real nice but where's the rest of the certificate let me see now oh sure enough it's patched over the leak we had in the kitchen mighty strong paper hold out the water real good I know what she's saying he ain't doing any saying Paul I'm doing all the saying so far well get to it get to it Mrs. Kittleheim I'd like to buy the stock you're fooling no I'm not I'll give you $20 for it Paul he said I heard him ain't you deep to hear a fool offering good cash for a water patch let me go fetch the picture in the paper before this here's sucker squirms off the hook well there they are judge contracts with the Lake Erie Company the Cleveland Ohio Company the Ohio telegraph company I'm tired worn out you've done a fine job harm only only what well while you've been gone we've been working on the area in Michigan telegraph company as a Cornell's outfit oh yeah yeah any success very little oh we've managed to convince his two partners that consolidation would benefit both our lines but old asher is the original loan wolf he'll have no part of it and without the area in Michigan worse sunk their lines are the lines we need to really round out our sit that's right well I'll be on my way going home and nope I'm going to New York to beard alone wolf in his then young man is Mr. Ezra Cornell in he might be and then again he might not who shall I say wants to see him Mr. Hiram Sibley what what come again Mr. Hiram Sibley Mr. Hiram Sibley yes please announce me oh my oh my oh my oh my it's something wrong not yet but when I tell Mr. Cornell that you're out here I reckon everything's gonna go wrong you ain't got no weapons on you have you don't be ridiculous well all right but don't say I ain't warned you Mr. Hiram Sibley just well I tell that to Mr. Cornell our story wire to the west starring Raymond Massey will continue in just a moment you're listening to the cavalcade of America sponsored by the DuPont company maker of better things for better living through chemistry this is cavalcade 15th season on the air during that time we've brought you stories of yesterday and today of men and women who have added their share to the building of a strong and great nation and we brought you to stories about products of chemical science products represented by the familiar trademark the DuPont oval this trademark on any product is the symbol of the skill and integrity of the DuPont company it helps you to buy with confidence the DuPont oval trademark of the DuPont company is your assurance of better things for better living through chemistry it will link in the projected network of telegraph lines that will bind the country together and now Hiram Sibley I'll take the liberty of inviting you to get out of my office and wait for the opportunity you've given me to tell you what I think of you face to face you can call me a pirate Cornell a lion grabber a grip sack but an ear I don't care what you call me buying a telegraph stock as if it were corn or potato a fine way of doing business I paid spot cash for every bit of telegraph stock I bought and I've given a fair price for value received you're trying to suppress competition Cornell I'm an old Yankee I was nursed on competition I think it's a fine thing when the public profits from it by low prices and better service but that's not what is happening in the telegraph field but now let's calm down and see this thing sensible business with the area in Michigan is bad in it well it's bad yes and it's bad with our line too why because the people can't afford to use the telegraph rates are too high they're too high because cost they're double all along the line two offices for everyone we need two sets of lines to be repaired two of everything it doesn't make sense are you trying to set yourself up with some sort of public benefit simply no I'm just a businessman and so are you what's good for the public is good for business and you can turn that around what's good for business is good for the people now honestly you believe that too don't you Cornell I suppose you figured out the financial angle yes I have the figures here I'll leave them with you we'll get together simply we should have met before this I might have had a different idea about you quite possibly I'm staying at the commercial hotel let me know when you read the contract you will find them satisfactory maybe but one thing yeah one thing I want you to know right now this idea may be yours this arrangement yours but if I decide to agree which I don't say I will but if I do decide to agree the name of our company must be my choice well what is the name Cornell what I've had in mind for a long time Western Union Western Union I like it by 1860 the Western Union telegraph company gave the people the means of instantaneous communication from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mississippi River it was a going concern successful reliable prosperous that Hiram Sibley wasn't satisfied he had an idea another civic mr. Sibley you serious you want Western Union to build the telegraph line to California I'm deadly serious mr. Morris well that's a big project a very big project a little too big I should say mr. Sibley now do you expect to string a line 1500 miles across the wilderness across the land infested with Indians to drag poles out there where there isn't even a tree within hundreds of miles it won't work gentlemen do I take it that the rest of you are infected with the same timidity that seems to have overcome mr. man you won't come in with me on a line to the Pacific very well then if you won't join hands with me in this I'll go it alone higher yes judge I've always been with you believed in you and work with you but this isn't the place for personal feelings I think these gentlemen are right the project is much too tenuous for our company to undertake because if it fails the damage to our whole enterprise would be an all right now wait a minute I've got a compromise you go ahead and build the line I'll come in with you personally as well many of the others I'm sure use Western Union man use Western Union resources everything and anything you want when the line is finished we'll undertake to operate now what about that for the second time judge it's a deal in Washington Sibley's idea of a transcontinental telegraph line was warmly received by Congress on June 16th 1860 an act was passed to facilitate communication between the Atlantic and Pacific state by electric telegraph it was to be done in two years from the start of construction if it could be done at all in May of 1861 the line East from California was begun at Placerville July 4th 1861 the line West was begun from Fort Conning Nebraska reports on progress flew across the lines of Western Union to Hiram Sibley in Rochester you have it in full bill anything serious from Creighton superintendent of the line going into Salt Lake City listen contractor refused to deliver poles only five days supply left no chance to cut our own as country here is almost barren please advise what are you going to do we've beaten our way this far Indians haven't stopped us rivers haven't mountain deserts we've beaten them all and now a lumber contractor thinks he can stop us well he can't judge you will have to look after things here for a while I don't see what good that will do I don't either but I'm going west I'll get Creighton the poles he needs if I have to carry them from the Missouri to Salt Lake City on my back well I'm glad to see you Mr. Sibley but there was no real reason for you to come out here I've straightened things out then you're getting your poles straight oh yes I'm getting them just made the final arrangements of course they're costing us a lot more than we figure hold up more or less yes but I decided it was best to take what we could get you see the contractor happens to be well he's a rather close relative to the man who more or less does the driving out here Brigham young now I see yes I come excuse me I was told that I would find Mr. Edward Creighton here yes I'm creating I'm Brigham young Mr. Hiram Sibley Mr. Sibley are you dosing Mr. Creighton I'm told that one of my relatives entered into a contract with you to furnish poles the telegraph yes sir is it also true that the price agreed upon in this contract was subsequently raised that's right sir let me see those contracts please right here mr. Creighton hair up this contract the poles will be furnished by my relative in accordance with the terms of the original agreement with somebody please shut that door so we can hear us thanks folks have come from hundreds of miles around for this celebration Mr. Creighton they nobody gonna shut them up yes I suppose not mr. Sibley we're already right or age for Carney yes I seek you to for Carney for Carney yes we're in contact the line is through mr. Sibley the line is through instead of the two years limit set for the undertaking Hiram Sibley built the first transcontinental telegraph line in less than five months 132 days from the start of construction a picket fence of poles stretched from west to east clean across the continent and was ready to send the first message scutting across its singing wire judge field the operator's ready you dictate the message yes thank you to Abraham Lincoln president of the United States the people of California desire to congratulate you upon the completion of this great work they believe that it will be the means of strengthening the attachment which binds both the east and the west to the union and they desire in this the first message across the continent to express their loyalty to the union and their determination to stand by its government on this its day of trial they regard the government with affection will adhere to it under all fortunes even J. Field chief justice of California at the moment of crisis with the country at the brink of civil war a thin wire helped draw the nation together brought the Pacific to the Atlantic in the wink of a second the flash of time in Washington Hiram Sibley figured the job was over oh Sibley hello Luther busy oh always busy sir will you send this wire for me yes sir and I have it this is Elizabeth Sibley your wife Rochester New York business successfully concluded leaving Washington today arrive home tools they love Hiram ain't you forgetting something mr.  Sibley I hope the wire will arrive before Wednesday oh it'll be in Rochester within the hour and you can depend on that sir you can depend on that Luther you've just said it that's the greatest thing go hold 11 years in a nutshell the whole story of Western Union 100 years is not too long a span of time and yet in a single century the telegraph industry has grown from nothing into a vast network that binds every village of our country with every other Hamlet town and city this is a monument to Hiram Sibley it's a monument to enterprise courage and faith to many men who have worked many years to make private industry serve the needs of all the people now here's Bill Hamilton speaking for the DuPont company ladies and gentlemen I'd like you to meet Miss Alice E. Burns of Herkimer New York a few weeks ago Miss Burns bought four shares of stock in the DuPont company although she didn't know it at that time her purchase made her the 100,000th stockholder but maybe I better let her tell you the story Miss Burns well Mr. Hamilton I knew something about DuPont through its connection with Remington Arms at alien New York where I teach school my friends who work at Remington speak very highly of DuPont and when DuPont announced that its stock was being split I had a little money left over so I decided to buy some shares Miss Burns just how did you go about buying the stock you know a lot of people don't know how to do it oh I just went into a broker's office in Utica told him I wanted to buy some DuPont stock they took care of the rest well that wasn't much of a problem was it might surprise you to know that over half of the DuPont stockholders are women they have a very important place in business today as investors who have loaned their money so that industry has new capital with which to expand by the way Miss Burns I understand you've just finished a trip to the DuPont offices and research laboratories at Wilmington several manufacturing plant and also the DuPont Atlantic City exhibit what do you think of your company now that you're an owner well one of the things Mr. Hamilton impressed me the most with the fact that DuPont people seem so interested and proud of their work the executives of the company the research people and the men and women in the plant were all very friendly I found this true wherever I visited you're certainly right Miss Burns and it couldn't happen anywhere else but in America tell me what did you learn about research research well I remember one thing someone told me that over half of DuPont sales today are in products that have come into being in the last 20 years somehow that surprised me for a company almost 150 years old yeah thousands of small businesses and at least hundreds of thousands of jobs have been created because of new products of DuPont research I guess that's what you mean when you give the DuPont slogan better things for better living through chemistry it certainly is one of the things that the slogan stands for DuPont men and women working together to create and produce new products have helped bring better living to America thank you Miss Burns for being our special guest on Cavalcade tonight tonight's cavalcade play wire to the West was written by Irv Cunic appearing with Mr. Massey where Cameron Proudhon as Judd Felden Marker Fenley as the operator the music for the DuPont cavalcade's composed by Arden Cornwell conducted by Donald Borey your narrator Ted Pearson next week cavalcade will present the gifted Hollywood star Paul Henry in lay that musket down an exciting story of revolutionary time be sure to join us next week for cavalcade and our star Paul Henry cavalcade of America directed by John Zoller came to you this evening from the stage of the Vanderbilt Theatre in New York and is presented by the DuPont company Wilmington Delaware makers of better things for better living through chemistry this is NBC the national broadcasting company

There certainly are, but there are some issues with the status quo, let's see why. First, when you Google a Cloud Native term, you're most likely going to get a vendor-provided definition. And while vendors did a great job at helping us understand these complex concepts, it's less from ideal because, well, first, it might be biased towards the product or their opinionated view. It's often also just a marketing tactic such as SEO optimization. And I should know I work in marketing and have applied these tactics myself. Then it's not necessarily kept up to date. A definition might have been a priority at some point, but then priority shift, once a definition is out of sight, it's out of mind, it's never updated, and that is a problem because we all know technology changes really fast. And then we see that the audience changed. Increasingly more people are involved in Cloud Native decisions. For instance, whether a company should migrate to a microservices architecture is not a decision that is done isolated in the engineering department. These projects cost millions of dollars and need buy-in from the leadership team and boardroom. But if we look out there, most Cloud Native content is written for a technical audience. That makes it really hard to understand for people with no technical background. So how can the C-suite make these critical decisions without content they can easily understand? And then a lot of Cloud Native content is in English, but not everyone in our community is a native speaker. Understanding these concepts is hard enough, let alone enough foreign language. That's why we need good Cloud Native content in multiple languages. So that's the why. Let's now talk about the glossary and how it addresses these challenges. So the glossary provides definitions from a trusted source that is vendor-neutral and community-driven. And that is key for the definitions to be objective and up-to-date. And then we try to use easy language, free from buzzwords with daily examples whenever possible because we want to make it accessible for a technical and non-technical audience alike. And even technical people will really appreciate the easy accessible language. After all, this is really complex stuff. And then we have more non-native English speakers than English speakers in our community. And to make the glossary even more accessible, we're trying to localize it into as many languages as possible. Currently, we have eight languages live, two more in the making and hopefully many more in the future. And it's really exciting to see how teams all around the world are working on this effort. And then we launched last year at KubeCon.net, so happy first birthday glossary. So let's talk a little bit about our approach. We try to focus on the minimal viable definition, at least from a technical point of view. We don't want to save on examples of words, the things that make a definition easier to understand. But if a technical detail is not needed, we'll skip it. We don't want to overcomplicate things. We want to provide a high-level overview to give the readout foundation so they can read on and dig deeper if they need to. So the glossary is fairly new, but our goal is to be the most trusted, objective and up-to-date cloud native definitions. We want to be a go-to resource for newbies and pros alike, ideally in their native languages. But to achieve that, we need your help. First thing you can do is use it. Use it to learn about cloud native terms. Use it to link back to definitions whenever you write about it, and use it to educate your customers and colleagues. And as you use it, and if you see something that's outdated, needs improvement or is missing, please submit a PR and raise an issue. That is how the glossary will improve over time. So that's the glossary, just a quick announcement. We are looking for technical reviewers. So if you're really passionate about cloud native and really good at explaining these terms, please join us. You can find more information in our Contributor Letter or just swing by the link in your point booth and talk to myself at the conference. And that's it, thank you so much. Please use the glossary and tell others about it. Thank you so much.


So our first scenario that we went through today there was an explosion, a medical team and a convoy arrived to the scene. They did a quick triage, get the Marines out of harm's way, transported them on the 997 to our STP, where we did further resuscitations, just stabilizing them to get them ready for transport. The greatest takeaway was definitely working together as a team. You know, train like we fight, all the moving pieces that would be involved in this type of scenario and a real-life scenario involved in training all the way from transportation, medical, air assets, working on cohesion, communication, and just everyone working together to make sure these Marines can get to the next level of care. Exercising what we're out here to do, the main priority is getting these patients to the next echelon of care, getting them home, getting them safe.


After a tough couple of days, Lina Rabakina has decided not to play this week at the Tokyo Open. Of course, she had to go through the battle with the WTA decision to give a performance by two players that played well last week in Guadalajara. She unfortunately lost. Her buy is number three and she's pulled out. Let's go see why. So this is what Rabakina had to say in a statement. I'm really sorry to have to withdraw from Tokyo this year. I was really looking forward to playing the event and I love the city. I prioritized my health and fitness and need time to get 100% health. Of course, yesterday she kind of put a social media post out talking about how the WTA was a bit of a joke with the rule change and giving a performance by, of course, performance by being given to players that played well last week, Garcia and Zachary, at the expense of the third seed Rabakina. That's what happened yesterday. You can go check that video out if you want to know more. There it is, Rabakina out of Tokyo this week and you wonder if it's coincidence. Maybe she's, you know, injured or maybe she's prioritizing health. Or maybe it is the WTA's decision to take a buy away from her and give it to a player that's not in the top four seeds, which again rarely happens. I've never seen this rule happen before, but she's pulled out. She has that shoulder problem. So maybe that is the reason why as well. She has over the last probably three to six months being on and off with injury. She's had problems with late night matches as well, where she's put a lot of tennis as well this season. So maybe that's the reason why. And of course, Beijing coming up next week, a huge WTA 1000 event. You want to be able to play well there as opposed to playing well this week, which is only a 500, but let me know down in the comments below. Do you reckon that this is all due to the WTA's decision to take away her buy or do you reckon she's probably going to pull out anyway because of how her season has been going lately. She's had a lot of injuries being taped up a lot with that shoulder for the most part. She also had a back problem towards the start of the year as well.
