All right. Welcome everybody to the February 16th type of ledger technical oversight committee call. As everyone on this call is aware to things that we must abide by the first is the anti trust policy notice that is currently being displayed on the screen. And the second is our code of conduct. All right, for announcements today, we have two announcements we have the standard that weekly developer newsletter that goes out each Friday. If you want to include something in there about a project release the pull request the community event or anything that you have that you'd like to include. Click on that link and find the lady find the link for the upcoming newsletter and add something there. My announcement that we have is related to the hyper ledger mentorship program that has kicked off. We're currently looking for mentorship project proposals and those need to be in by March 15, and we will be having been talked to us more about what mentorship program is in case you have any questions related to that. We will get there very shortly. Are there announcements that anybody has before we head to the quarterly reports. Tracy, can you hear me. Yes, I can hear you. Good morning. I just wanted to let everybody know last night I went to a developer week it's a developer conference here in the Bay Area, and hyper ledger was awarded the Debbie for blockchain web three and cryptocurrency in that category. It's great there's hundreds of people there and you know a lot of folks came up to us and talked, you know asked about hyper ledger, and I would recommend that we look at making sure we submit lots of talks next year because there's definitely interest in the work that we're doing. So, congratulations to the community for that. And it's on Twitter, I think I put some pictures on Twitter if you want to go take a look at it on our Twitter profile. Thank you. Any other, any other announcements. No, okay. All righty so the quarterly reports. So we did get a row hot in it was on the agenda last week's but we didn't have it on the agenda last week so I made sure to include it here for anybody who hadn't had a chance to take a look at it. We do have some, as far as I know I haven't looked this morning because I've been in calls for the last hour and it's only eight o'clock here, but we have some of those quarterly reports that hadn't been reviewed by everybody in the TOC. I do have a question about what we want to do for the quarterly reports now that they're on GitHub do we want to wait for everybody to review those quarterly reports before we emerge them do we want to have the majority of us have had to review it before we emerge it or what sort of thoughts do you guys have about about getting everybody to sign off before we merge. Like my suggestion would be to give 14 days time for somebody to review and, and if it's still not reviewed in the TOC should be reminded, but PR can be merged within that period. Okay. I support the same idea there should be a period of time specific that is there to read yours can I ask questions already. I was just sad that if there's any ongoing discussion that is just for any reason still going on after the 14 days or whatever time you choose then we shouldn't merge until everything's being discussed. Thanks, Peter, right. Well, Peter in a room just laid out exactly what I was going to say that it should be up for a couple weeks, some short bound period of time. And if they're an auto merged and if there's ongoing conversation. You know, give it a little give it another meeting or something. So, I agree. Okay, thanks for that. Yeah, so some time out policy makes sense for me but so what was the approach when the reports were on the on the wiki. So they were kept on the agenda for for like, so they were put on the agenda as soon as they showed up. They showed up on the Thursday of a TOC meeting, they were put on the agenda for the next week so that people who might have missed it previous week could review it and then they were not put on the agenda again, and most likely forgotten there's I would guess probably some some reports out there that still don't have checkmarks from some of the TOC members in the past. So I guess that's maybe a similar sort of approach that's being recommended here is that two weeks and then merge unless they're still ongoing discussion. Okay, but so what about the case where, I mean, nobody has a TTC members would basically, I mean, approved this thing I mean they reviewed it but don't approve because they're just not happy with the contents, then they're just the time out would make so much sense right. Yeah, we I mean we've never really had the case where people weren't happy. Right. I don't, we've always discussed that there's been any sort of concerns that were brought up in the, in the quarterly reports in the TOC call. I don't know that we could resolve any sort of potential issues that might exist out there. But yeah, I don't think there's really been any case where you know somebody's been like I'm just not going to approve it because I don't think that it's valid. They either didn't approve it because they, well I don't know why they didn't approve it because. Yeah, I'm not that person so I can't, I can't speak on their behalf, but. Right. I mean I just think that I mean the the GitHub term approve is maybe a little bit misleading right I mean it's not that the TOC here approves the contents of the report they just, we just use this as a tool to mark that we basically reviewed it. Right. That's correct and if anybody does have comments and they provide those comments directly. All right, thank you. So I think I think there is a way to catch that case that Marcus was talking about is like, you know, I think the policy you talked about is pretty good, but I think the catch is to say, after two weeks, we need a majority of the of the talk to have approved. And if there is no ongoing discussion or issue that was raised then we can merge it. And that would allow for the case where somebody has raised an issue, or not enough people are really looked into it. Could I ask a question along these lines. So this report's been here for a week. The majority has approved it. Jim is the last remaining TOC member. Should this just be merged? I mean, there's, I was looking down here. It's not been two weeks. So no, we wait another week. Okay, well that's what I was getting at. Like, it's not just the majority. So okay, so we're going to wait by two weeks. Sorry to be super pedantic here. No, no, but you're right. That's what we need to write the policy so that we agreed this is it. By two weeks. Do we mean two TOC meetings? Do we mean two calendar weeks? What if the meeting is canceled in the interim? Like, what do we mean by two weeks?  That's what I was going to say today. From the time that it was submitted is how I took that to me. If anybody has any objections to that, please, please. I agree. That's what I was going to say too. Okay, I'm getting some thumbs up. Hey, this Jim here, by the way, I just approved it, but I still wanted to double check. Did we say unless it's being united unanimously approved, we don't merge it. I think what we're saying Jim, I think what we're saying Jim is we wait for 14 days from the time that it was submitted. At that point, one of two things is true. We do not merge it. If there are still ongoing discussions, we do not merge it, or if there hasn't been over half of the TOC members, we don't, we don't merge it. Okay. Is that makes sense to everybody? Yeah, sounds good to me. Okay, so for this sawtooth report. And then wait, wait, one more addition to that. If everybody has approved it before the two weeks, we can merge it. Okay, so I agree. So this sawtooth report was submitted on the 31st. Yep. So I don't see any ongoing conversation. So this should just be merged. I would agree with that. Right. Any objections to that before? Right. Right. That better not be an objection. Not an objection. Governance by GitHub, I think is a is a. Is is an important thing to get out in the community. So the whole request model that that you're talking about and the need to write things down and the right and the need to have exemplar versions of using this is really helpful. I've been trying to push this site type of governance. You know, so many times governance documents get written in Google Docs. And they're really hard to use for reaching consensus and this type of consensus that we're talking about I really appreciate this quite detailed discussion and this idea of getting it down to a concise set of notes. And, and, and sharing this out with others because other projects and the whole idea of the centralized governance. The, the, the GitHub model or the use of pull requests and get how to do this type of things to do human governance based on this type of contribution model is actually, I think super important. So I think we, that's one thing we can demonstrate to the community and encourage others, you know, the projects in the community to do this type of thing. You know, to reach consensus on these. So thank you.  You guys can check my wording and see if it's correct. And make a comment here if not, and then we'll get that merged into to ensure that we've just captured the discussion that we've had. Okay, that's the only comment that I had on the quarterly reports any comments from anybody else in quarterly reports before we hand it off to me to talk to us about the hyper ledger mentorship program. So thank you for that discussion men over to you. We're interested to learn more about the hyper ledger mentorship program and what we can do to help. Yeah, thank you Tracy. Thank you to the TOC for giving me the opportunity just to talk briefly about our annual mentorship program. I think many of you on this committee know that hyper ledger foundation runs an annual mentorship program, and this is actually our seventh year of running this program and the program has grown steadily over the years you know we started with five mentorship projects to last year we have 30. So, I think it's growing in size and also impact. So yeah, I think even I was looking at the, many of you are on this committee actually have served in the mentor role in the last, you know, last year, even I see Peter a room Bobby. If I'm saying your name correctly. So you know, you know just first hand experience, you know how this program has been run and so I really appreciate you volunteer your time to be to participate in the program. So really this rice showing this, the screen here this gives you kind of overview of the program. So I think really, you know I think we have a lot of people who are interested in entering into our community but finding it, perhaps hard. Not only just the space of the technology but I think there's just so many resources sometimes it's hard for them to find an entry point. So I think this program kind of creates that avenue for those people who are seeking in entry into the community, giving them sort of that hands on learning opportunity. And because we have a program so it creates that structure to connect the mentees with the mentors, and we also create structures to kind of help the mentors and mentees to do project planning. So in the program, there's the regular, you know, checking and evaluations to make sure you know things are progressing. And I think, you know, because of the structure and the existence of this program, you really provides that sort of guided consistent learning for these new contributors over a sustained period of time versus you know people come and casually, you know, learning or maybe getting a little bit mentoring here and there. But this really is, you know, these people are here, getting consistent guided that kind of learning experience over a really sustained period of time so I just want to emphasize that. And if you look at, you know, previous year's projects, they're really deliverable based right at the end of the mentorship project. The mentees are expected to do, you know, a BC these three things, you know, things might change, you know, over the course of the mentorship but it is very much deliverable based learning based and so, so yeah, it's been, I feel like I've been running this for the last few years and I've talked to a lot of mentors and mentees and staff and we are making some little changes over the years and for this year particularly. So we want to reserve some spots for, especially projects or labs or any other, you know, projects within the community who are looking for help with documentation. I think last year we even had one or two projects, you know, with the main delivery of being documentation but this year we want to really make it pretty explicit. So, right if you go to the mentorship projects and click on the 2023. On the left, the label. Yep. 2023 projects, you can see actually we already got two projects. And we have a new label called primary focus so these two obviously the their primary focus is coding, but if somebody is submitting a project with the primary focus of being documentation that label or show documentation so just make it, you know, put, you know, clear labeling and people will know what's the primary focus of the mentorship project so I encourage all of you. And also, if you talk to any project maintainers if they have any needs in, you know, obviously coding documentation or research, you know, encourage them to submit a project proposal. And the project proposed were accepting project proposal now through March the 15th. So there's still about a month. So there's ample time for people to think about what kind of gaps and needs they have in their projects, and hopefully you'll submit a project proposal and will connect you with those who are looking to enter into our community and work on those projects and help you out. Otherwise, I just want to emphasize yes I this is really a win-win right for all of us it's, it's a win for those who want to come to learn to contribute and become a productive contributor to the hyperledger community, and also win for all of our six or working groups who are looking to address gap in whether that's coding documentation or research and as a way to onboard new contributors. And I've this year we actually created a mentorship alumni group on LinkedIn I was just looking at it actually the last few days. Many of them actually are still, you know, working in the blockchain space, or they've found some, you know, software engineering jobs.  So, you know, this just makes me feel really good at the end of the day seeing you know what what we did here really help them in that pursuit. And many of our mentees also have, you know, wrote about their experience in our blog post so I'll post the link here if you, you've probably seen some of those posts, but just so that chat is disabled. Okay. So I cannot post the link. But if you use discord. Oh, okay. Yeah, if you just go to hyperledger.org, you know, we just recently posted about 10 blog posts, and those are written by the mentees who graduated from a program last year they reflected about their experience what they learned and highlights and what they are planning to do next and many of them, you know, hope to continue to contribute. So I think that's, you know, that's kind of the outcome we're, you know, looking for. So as I mentioned, proposal is open from till March 15 and one last thing I do want to mention, I would like to. Once we close the proposals submission phase, we are looking for four to five members from this group to review all the proposals that we get to see just to evaluate to make sure you know the ones that we are getting, you know, mentees who are receiving a stipend, those proposals are relevant to our community to our projects adding values. So what's Tracy's, what's the process of getting, you know, for us and fortified people from this group to have to have them to have to review the proposal we get by mid March. Yeah, so I think last year what we did was we just asked for volunteers on this call. And I think we had four or five people step up on the call and say that they would like to be part of that group of reviewers. So, yeah, I guess if you all would like to volunteer. I guess raise your hand now. And, okay, Peter, Peter, that's one. Marcus, that's two. Okay. Sorry, quick question. Yeah, I did hand for two purposes. So when is the strict period is going to be. When is the Right, the review period. Yeah, so it'll be the two weeks after we could close the proposal so right if you can go to the haplogen mentorship program just the overview page. Yep. Scroll down. Yeah, the program dates. So right now the proposal is open, and then from March 16 to the 30th is the mentorship project proposal review by TLC. Works for me. Thank you. Thank you so much. So one question, do we have as a TLC already some evaluation criteria in order to better estimate if a project makes sense or not or maybe requires more information or details. So, yes, I have documented this on the week key. Right, if you could go to mentorship projects page. Just go to that overview page, the project. Yep. And then review the project proposal guidelines. This is just, you know, based on over the years, I've asked mentors and staff, this is what we came up.  But this is basically the guidelines and then when we review and select, that's kind of the process and criteria. I welcome any feedback if you have any. Okay, thanks. This is good. We have this already in place. I mean, it would require me to look over it and think about it, understand it. But yeah, that certainly helps. Great. So we have three volunteers. I will really like to have, I think four will be good just to have a bigger group. And then we'll do a more extensive arm twisting on discord. Okay. Well, I figure, I figure the more quiet we are maybe we'll get somebody to put their hand up. The reason I am not putting my hand up this is last year I had to serve as a tie breaker. So I assume that's going to be the case, particularly in this year. Oh, if you as a TLC member, if you do decide that this is something that you would like to participate in is willing and welcome to have your hand go up to volunteer to review the proposals. Absolutely. Yeah, so thank you. And if you have any questions, please let me know or you can email mentorship at hyperlegia.org. I'll answer from there. Any questions that anybody has for me. Peter, your hand is still up there. I assume that's still from the volunteer. Okay. Any questions that anybody has for me. Marcus. So I think last year I was wondering if some of our project also participate in different mentor mentorship programs like Google Summer of Code or whatever is out there. And if those mentorship programs are also encouraged or supported by by hyperlegia. Yeah, that's a good question. So this mentorship program that we run here, obviously separate from Google Summer of Code. But yeah, community members are definitely encouraged to also, you know, you leverage other mentoring programs out there such as Google Summer of Code. There's also outreach. Those are the two main ones that I know of. And there's the Google also runs a season of docs, kind of focusing on kind of documentation type of. I think it's sort of also considered mentoring. But by the end of that, you know, mentorship, the intern or the mentee are expected to produce documentation. Obviously, you know, Summer of Code or any other programs that they run outside of Linux Foundation, you know, they have their separate process, you just follow their process. Here obviously, you know, we are focused on hyper lecture, you know, any projects that are going to advance our community work and our projects and labs, you know, you're more likely to get, you know, approved and get that stipend funding to get a mentee to work on it. But if you do as Google Summer of Code, you know, Google obviously has a lot of funding and but you're competing with, you know, many other open source projects out there. Did I answer your question Marcus? I mean, yeah, I mean that pretty much makes sense for me. I mean, I also understand, or if I think about that, so I could imagine that the motivation by Google could could also say, look, hyper lecture, they have their own mentorship program. So why would we accept any hyper lecture project in the Google mentorship program? I don't know. Yeah, I do know CNCF, they run, you know, a lot of their projects, you know, they have their own very sizable mentorship program here run at the Linux Foundation, but also a lot of their projects also go to Google Summer of Code. So it's not like, you know, their projects get rejected just because CNCF already runs a sizable mentorship program within the Linux Foundation. But so do we know of any hyper lecture project which was participating in a different mentorship program other than the hyper lecture one? Not that I know of. I know several years ago maybe before we even started our formal mentorship program, I think maybe there was a try somebody tried to submit one to Google Summer of Code but it was rejected. And I think last year, David, correct me if I'm wrong, did somebody submit something to Google's Season of Docs? Exactly right. We did support a submission to Season of Docs. We weren't accepted. I think part, as we learned in the process, the, I don't think it was, we didn't have an exact reason why it was rejected. They don't really provide that. But from what we understood from talking to CNCF and others, I don't think the criteria that Google uses is if a community has a separate mentorship project, but what they do look is they try to have organizational diversity. So I think we were competing basically with other people from the LF. So there was a limited number of LF slots. And the Season of Docs went to other LF projects. So it seemed like that was the big limiting factor. That's why we looked to see what could we do on our end to support documentation more. So I'm really excited about explicitly adding documentation to this year's mentorship program. As men said, there has been documentation projects in the past such as the CACDAI workshop project last year, but I think making it more explicit and explicitly inviting people in to do a documentation project will be helpful. That having been said, if somebody wants to try to submit to Season of Docs again this year, we're happy to help you with that. If you want support submitting to that or a different program, let us know and we can help. But yeah, as men said, we've tried a couple times in the past, but haven't had a lot of success with other mentorship program. Thanks for the question, Marcus. Any other questions that we have for men before we move on? All right, I'll make one last call. Did anybody have a change of heart or decide that they wanted to volunteer as well? Okay, we'll have to do some outreach. Sounds good. Thank you all. Thanks, men, for presenting that to us. Hopefully we'll see a lot more project proposals coming in from folks. And also, if you know of somebody out in the community who you think would make a great mentor, please reach out to them as well and encourage them to submit a project proposal for the mentorship program. So, any other kind of discussion items that people would like to cover before I move on to the Task Force discussion? No. Okay. So I think then the Task Force discussion, Bobby, actually, I think you wanted to cover documentation today and not the onboarding content, but I picked the next one in the Task Force list. Do we need to cover the documentation one today or shall we cover the onboarding content? I think we can touch on both. I'm really prepared for the documentation, but both meetings are basically kicking up around the same time. So it's okay if we do them together. So I'm just going to screen real quick to talk about the documentation. Is everybody seeing a wiki page? We can. Hold on a second, that shouldn't be going to get rid of my zoom. There we go. So the documentation Task Force initially started a year and a half ago through the Learning Materials Working Group. We really didn't get into recommendations, but we did a lot of fact finding and surveying. So I incorporated that into what we're looking for now. So now the mission is to just establish some concrete documentation standards for the community. Like it's open source, so it's everybody has choices and a ton of ways that they prefer to do things and we're not trying to step on those. But as I show you when we went through the survey answers, a lot of people do want some guidance. They just want to know what their choices are or what is recommended to get started. So that's our goal is to provide the developers, users and stakeholders with high quality technical documentation that's accurate, accessible and easy to understand. So you've got to be able to find it. It has to be correct. And you have to be able to use it to your end goal. And it's easier when there are standards to develop on these platforms and utilize them better. So each project and each team comes with different maintainers and different ideas and we're really not trying to force any of these suggestions. We're just saying, you know, we have this tooling set you can use we have this project uses this and this is how they do it, you know, we need to come up with those types of suggestions. And then we're going to go ahead and look at some of the things that are available for the community to use. So I guess the tasks we need to complete would be to evaluate the current environment which we did gather the information for that. And, you know, look into what people are using what are the publishing platforms that are popular in our community. We're going to have a steering committee. We're going to start having regular meetings. Everyone is welcome to attend. And we're going to go over, you know, the results of what we found out and try to figure out what are the communities best practices for creating documentation. You know, they have to be, you know, what are the resources that hyper ledger is offering. What are the training materials that you need or technical documentation that you need for people. And can we use this and this is where the best practices task force which really isn't kicking off just yet, but where that will come into play at the end. What documentation do incubated projects need as opposed to, you know, active projects what you know it needs to kind of also slow with the life cycle of a project documentation to me is a living thing so you have to keep it moving and keep it going. What are the different needs for docket for technical documentation new projects they're looking for complete guidelines they like where do we start where we start, you know they need the templates they need, you know, to know what we offer for them to support them and existing projects they're updating you know do they want a re redo their look do they want a new look what again they might have questions. So, I think Tracy and I, or the group had discussed some of these deliverables will be creating a common style guide, recommending some publishing platforms that are available to the community, creating best practices for documentation like what tooling is available and what audiences do your technical documentation need to target and create those templates so it is, you know just as easy and user guides you know you just can't. And again who's never really created the documentation from GitHub there needs to be a primer for that you need to be able to go watch a video or something that says you know this is what hyper ledger offers these are how you select what you want this is how you you know add this file to your command line to get it going you know whatever you need to do to get that easy for people creating documentation so that's not a roadblock for them. In my estimate we should be done with this in three to four months. There have been people who have volunteered. Hopefully there'll be more names added to this list this is. I know it's going to go over in GitHub but right now it's just easier to throw all these thoughts on a wiki page for me. So that's what I did and I'll put the link in discord. For each of the task forces in the discord channel. We're talking David and the learning materials working group which is no more by the way. We say goodbye to learning materials working group we're revamping it again for more specific functions that it did rather than just as general. No one really knows what it does working group. So, with that, we're going to take over that time slot, unless. I think that folks who are in the task force decide that's not a convenient time. So right now, I believe David was going to change the calendar link to show on the 20th I believe the 20th that's President's Day the next following Monday to reflect the two task forces that will take over that hour half hour for each task force. There is a discord channel meetings. There is a discord channel for discussion on this task force and I put that link there. Some of the references for some of the material I'm going to go over really really quickly. Here was a survey we gave out to the maintainers 14 or maintainers and community developers and 14 people answered and I'll show you a little bit quickly results. I put a link to a page which I'm going to go to hopefully my computer will agree with me. Yes, that Tracy supplied that lets the community know some supporting resources that they have available if they in fact want to use them so I put a link to that because one of those is what the community suggests for the technical documentation. So that's that link. And then this was just a best practice guide from several years ago that was in a templated and the learning materials working group for people to review. So again the survey I just grabbed three or four points most people really want to redo or have the documentation reflect quick starts examples graphs, all of the above so it's definitely a need in the community. A lot of people think that a modern look. Simple easy to read is the way to go. I mean that's very clear. And most folks want a quick guide and example projects in their user guides, which I think is a great idea where you have links to other things if you need a deeper dive in any concepts. This one is very interesting. Very important for product adoption is visual aids graphs and charts so right now if you look at like the landscape page. That is very visual very graphic lots of charts lots of graphs but you look at the hub documentation. It's very you know it pulls right from the code so it's not really spiced up and apparently the audience or the community really would like some incorporation and guidelines on that I mean, you know it's hard to develop graphics and they're already developed in the community why not use them. So that was basically some of the things that came if you want to take the survey it that the surveys right here. So go ahead and then responses, if you want to see the other responses, they're right there. And then, moving along to discover what we are using now. So most of the project use read the docs few projects use non traditional documentation so this graph here doesn't fit on my screen, but it basically shows what each group is using at this particular time. And basically just for reference purposes to get an idea of what the community is using and when the task force starts meeting hopefully will incorporate what we can gain from that table into our best practices so then moving along we're also going to be working on, you know creating doc best practices for documentation and you know I just threw a few ideas before we meet next to discuss, you know, what does that look like what do we want. Is there different for maintainers and developers who's your target audience general guidelines for you know writing technical documentation, and then a badging system is this is a link to a style guide for publishing through a picture that was put out there by the marketing department that's available for everyone to reference. And then basic documentation, I know David in heart had talked about and rune had kicked around some of the criteria needed for graduated projects and I'm thinking of incorporating or hopefully the test courses thinking of incorporating some of the things we come up with possibly to this information and then then just some ideas. Again, I think standardized graphics. A glossary section and basic concepts like a common blockchain primer that instead of having these new projects labs come in and think that they have to write this enormous move for their specific project, maybe hyper ledger can supply a glossary and some basic, you know, blockchain concepts that they can just link to and not have to worry about anything but how to use their particular software. So that is basically for the documentation. The onboarding. I should ask for. Yeah. Well, I wanted to bring up something that I've done since we met on Monday, related to the documentation passports I did put a link in the discord channel but I'm happy to share it here as well. If you would like to see kind of what's happening there. You can open it as well. That's fine. So I, I took some time to use the. That's not the one that was in the answer to somebody else's question this morning. So it was my message before. Yeah, so. That's not the one either. Yeah, we're getting here we go. So if you want to click on the second one there. This one. Yeah. So I put together a documentation template repo that we might start and utilize, which is basically intending to bring together all of the different sorts of material that I think is useful. If you hit the hamburger, you should see a menu that kind of covers the different items that that are available to to start looking at and so the sorts of things. Obviously, Bobby, I didn't look at all the material you had there, which was really great material that you shared with us. And this is a basically a template repository that somebody could start with and then basically build out for their particular documentation to see information about how to get started with the project. Right now there's just placeholders for a lot of this stuff. The only place that I actually building information was in the contributing section, where I found some documentation that was kind of interesting for going through and trying how somebody might contribute or report a bug or request change. Obviously, all words that can be changed, but just something for people to react to and kind of see the different sorts of things that are probably useful to have in the documentation Bobby I think we should align this with with kind of what you guys have already done. So I'm going to share in the learning materials working group to see if there's anything that was missed that we should add to this or anything that should be changed. So, but I think, you know, by providing a template repo for people to just start allows them to understand the sorts of things that they should include in their documentation and work through and this uses the material for make docs which is something that is the recommendation for future documentation projects I think from hyper ledger. And so yeah, I think we could take a look at that and provide some thoughts be that full request even on the repo itself. More creation of issues that sort of thing so just wanted to share kind of what I've been working on since we met on Monday. That's awesome thanks for all that heavy lifting. So basically, I guess to continue. Am I on mute. You're not on mute but Marcus has a question. Go ahead. Yeah, Bobby thanks for showing those outcomes of the survey I mean this is super interesting. So, so when you showed this I was actually wondering if if there's a particular project, which basically covers all of the needs of, let's say the general users. So, I'm wondering if it would make sense basically to also I mean add to such a survey the question hey what of the hyper ledger projects. Are you happy with in terms of documentation so which projects can improve, not in the sense that we would like to raise the point with the finger of a project and in order to say hey you have to make it better. More as a to figure out what people actually would agree that this is already good documentation. And which can be then also be used as an example for the project. Yeah that's exactly what the task force is going to try to determine. So hopefully we'll see you on Monday Marcus. I'm going to put your name to the list. So that's basically we were trying to pinpoint that exact concept. All right. Thank you. So I'm going to try to navigate back to the. Take me a moment. And just after I body, your share has stopped. I don't know if that was in control. So let me share again. Any other comments on the documentation stuff before we move on to the onboarding. Bobby, all yours. Great so onboarding again I set up a wiki page really just to throw the information somewhere that people can edit and manage before we put it back in the in the GitHub as a recommendation. We talked about onboarding. The learning materials working group had kind of always thought that their meetings were accomplishing that but as participates patient went down and obviously needed to be more topic specific. So instead of a general meeting that talked about whatever anybody needed. We're going more with specific meetups or specific topic driven ideas. So onboarding is always been an issue of how to do it where to do it and how to conquer it so that's what the onboarding task force is going to try to define and come up with suggestions so there's different groups that need onboarding content that's geared differently and I think that that's where the group has decided to more start like to try to figure out what each one of these community members need and how we can and how we can deliver that again this is not filled out we're going to start doing that on Monday. We meet for the bottom half of the hour. So we're going to be doing the onboarding and the documentation kind of together on that time if we need more time we can always add it and this also has a discord channel I'll put that link in here. So we're trying to again try to make it easy for developers to find the technical documentation and get started like one of my questions on the survey was, you know, when you read your documentation can you take it and create your own project or you basically just following this and when you're done have no idea where to start your own project so that's something to look at to you know we want this to be usable docket technical documentation. And that's just one of the things that for onboarding, we have to consider also the onboarding here the content is for the onboarding. We have big chairs how do you run a meeting what do you need to do that kind of stuff we want that also easily and at people's fingertips. You know when you're a to see my new to see member discord. You have the wiki pages, you know where am I going what am I doing that kind of help. So we're hoping that these guides can onboard whether it's a button on the main hyper ledger page. Or how to get started or start here I know is one of our rooms and again they're on the task force to I just haven't filled out the information yet. We're going to take a whole lot of people whole lot of thinking whole lot of good energy and try to figure out how we can get more people who are interested to go past that first click of what is hyper ledger and actually get involved. And again, men is absolutely correct the mentorship program is one of the best methods for that. So hopefully we're going to be doing meetups that are geared to getting people into the mentorship program in the next few weeks, stuff like that so if you have any idea or want to help with onboarding task force to get people into the community working in the community not just looking at the community but actually involved in the community. Please come out to that Monday, 1230 Eastern Standard Time meeting, and we'll get started with that one as well. And then take questions on the onboarding in a second, but after these two are kind of done that's going to like migrate into the best practice badging task force that got approved also. But we want these in place first before we move on to that one so if there's any questions on the onboarding task force. I know people are afraid to ask is when you're on the task force. I'll recruit you right away. So hopefully everybody will come out that will make the calendar invited and announcement will be sent down and I'll put the information on the discord channel which is easy to find on the discord under to see. So thank you for letting me present these and I hope that these task force gets started with a lot of energy and a lot of people come out. So, thank you. All right, thanks Bobby for covering both of those today. Any questions or comments on kind of what's been done or what the intention of these task forces are. You know, everybody's hoping to have three minutes before the next meeting. So I'll give that to you. So thank you all for coming today. We will cover I guess the fourth task force next week in the TOC call and we'll see what else comes up on the agenda for us to include. We'll also been reaching out to some folks and seeing if we can twist some arms to get that forth or fifth volunteer for the leadership project proposal review. And with that, I will let you go. Have a great week everybody. Thanks Tracy.


Hello everyone, I am Swati Ghadge, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering from WIT, Solarpur. Topic for today's session is Waste Water Treatment System. Learning outcome of this session, at the end of this session, learner will be able to explain water treatment process. This is a sewer system which is collecting sewage from the individual houses and at last the sewage of entire city is collected in a main sewer. In earlier days, it is directly disposed in a natural source of water, say river or sea. It causes water pollution or river pollution. It also affects aquatic life. So before disposal, it must be treated. Let's see the treatment of wastewater. So this is a flowchart of treatment of wastewater. First it is collected from the residential area as well as industrial area. Then before treatment, it must be pre-treated. That is the first unit of pre-treatment is a screening chamber. In this screening chamber, removal of insoluble floating material takes place. Say water bottle, plastic bags, they are removed from the water. Then sewage has all type of impurities. It has oil, grease, soap, some grit chamber. So they are removed in the second unit called as grit chamber. Grease and oil floats on the water and grit particle settle down at the bottom. So from the top, oil and grease get removed and from the bottom, grit particle are removed. After pre-treatment, water goes for the primary treatment. In the primary treatment, sedimentation occurs. Sedimentation of heavy particle that settle down at the bottom due to gravity and it is removed from the bottom. After the primary treatment, that wastewater goes for the aeration. In the aeration, oxygen involved in the sample and it purifies it. It removes some dissolved gases. After that, it goes for the secondary treatment that is clarifier. Concept of clarifier and the sedimentation is same that heavy particle, heavy dust particle due to sulphate settle down at the bottom and from the bottom it removes. Before aeration, there is a primary treatment called as sedimentation and after aeration, there is a secondary treatment called as clarification. The sludge we get from the primary treatment is called as the primary sludge and the sludge we get from the secondary treatment called as secondary sludge. After clarification, there is a treatment called as chlorination. chlorination is nothing but the addition of cloning in water to avoid the spread of water bond disease. After chlorification water is treated up to the drinkable level and then it may dispose in a source of water or it may use for the agriculture purpose. This is a alternate flow chart. This is the pre-treatment then after pre-treatment it goes for the primary treatment that is called as the primary clarifier, then aeration, then secondary clarifier and then after secondary clarification it goes for the chlorination and then finally it is ready to dispose where it has to dispose. So the sludge we get from the primary treatment it is called as the primary sludge then sludge is also go for some treatment and then it is dispose. Then here the sludge we get from the secondary treatment that called as the activated sludge and it again go for some treatment and after treatment it may dispose. This is the 3D diagram from where it is more clear how the wastewater treated. So the operation number one, wastewater or sewage is pumped underground to the lifting station where it is chemically treated and sent for the separation. The separation process filter out solid larger than 13 mm. So the solid send dispose dump here and the liquid go in the station number three. Station number three is the primary settling basin which allow heavier material to sink and be scrapped away. The waste is then fermented for 30 days. This is the fermentation tank here the solid waste fermented for the 30 days. It gives us fertilizer see that truck is carrying fertilizer and the liquid will come in the tank number four. In that the bacteria break down the harmful matter and the more clear water will go in the station five. So the station five is the secondary clarifiers that is nothing but the sedimentation. Heavy particles settle down at the bottom and clean water will go for the chlorination that is station number six. In station number six the water is finally chemically treated with the chlorine to ensure it is free from the bacteria. And it is passes over a wear and into the water supply. These are the some basic definition. First is the screening chamber. It is the first unit operation of best water treatment plant that separate larger insoluble floating material from sewage. Second is the aeration. It is a physical process which brings water and oxygen in close contact in order to remove dissolved gases. Dissolved gases say CO2, H2S, CH4 etc. Third is the sedimentation. It is a physical water treatment process which remove suspended solid from waste water using gravity. Clarifier. It is generally used to remove solid particle or suspended solid from liquid for clarification. And last is the chlorination. It is a process of adding chlorine to the water to kill pathogenic bacteria present in water. You have seen a flow chart, we have seen a theoretical definition. If you see the images it is more clear that how it actually happen. This is the image of screen chamber. So all the floating particles remove primarily by this screen. This is a grid chamber. On the grid chamber some primary level sedimentation occur and so large heavy particle removed here and some floating oil or grease removed from the top. This is the third operation called sedimentation. See here all the heavy particles due to gravity are settling down at the bottom. For this process the flow rate of water makes it slower so that it allows some heavy particles settle down. Now you pause the video here and answer the question. Which is the correct flow of sewage in waste water treatment plant? So there are four options. There are four flow chart. You select correct flow chart of waste water treatment. Answer is first option is the correct option. First screening happens then grid chamber then sedimentation tank and then chlorination. So we have seen sedimentation. Now the next is the aeration. Aeration means bring water in close contact with oxygen so it purifies it. So see here at the bottom air getting involved in this sample. And here you can see the air bubbles formations are there so it purifies the waste water. After that there is a secondary treatment called as clarification. This is the clarifier. Here this is the inlet from where the sample entered in the tank. At the bottom there is one arm which is rotating after some interval of time. So it collect all the solid waste which is collected at the bottom and through that pipe it is discharged. And it is rotating so water is also rotating and at the top we get the pure water and it has an outlet at the top. And there is a provision of bridge for the walkway. It is just for the supervision to keep a watch on this tank. This is what how the clarifier looks like. After clarification there is a process called chlorination. This is a picture of chlorination tank. And after chlorination water is treated and then it is ready for the disposal. So it may dispose in a natural source of water or that pure water may use for the agriculture purpose or some other purpose. These are my references for this video. Thank you very much for watching.


So you guys are welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, hi, hello, I'm Lydia. And today I'm going to be talking about haloperidol. Haloperidol is a anti-psychotic medication. It's prescribed to deal with hallucination and other psychotic symptoms. I was prescribed it because of hearing voices. And since I started it, I haven't heard a voice. So it's definitely helped with that. I take five milligrams in the morning and five milligrams at night. I have five milligrams PRN. I'm on the average dose that is prescribed. There's someone my age who's hearing voices. For me, haloperidol has been a life-saving medication. It took so long for my medication to get changed. And when I say it changed overnight, it literally did. I started taking the haloperidol and the next day I just, I felt fine. It's a controversial medication and there are a lot of videos here on YouTube that are like, don't take this medication. People don't like this medication. Personally, I've had one major side effect, twitching, and then I've had a mild side effect which is over-salvating, but I'm on a medication that deals with that. So I can't complain really about side effects because I've only really had one major one. I think it's brilliant. And if you offered it, I'd say give it a go and don't listen to what other people say. Don't listen to the negativity about it all. Let me get up a side effect list. It comes in three different forms. It comes in tablet form into mass, into muscular injection and depo. Haloperidol side effect. Uncontrolled muscle movements in the face. Muscle spasms, it's in your neck, tightness in your throat, trouble swallowing. Rapid changes in mood or behavior. Fast pounding heartbeat. Cough with mucus. Low white blood cell counts. Severe nervous system reaction. So that's stiff, rigid muscles. Common side effects include drowsiness, headache, dizziness, uncontrolled muscle movements, feeling restless or anxious, sleep problems or breast enlargement. I can confirm my breasts have not got bigger since starting this medication. Thank God. So it's one of the side effects that Haloperidol can cause and they sound dramatic, but they're not even, it's like one in every 10,000. And I'm not being dismissed when I say people have bad experiences. People have bad experiences with it. Every medication out there. I know people that have had really bad side effects with lithium, for example. I know people that have had really bad experiences with ZopiClone, for example. So people have bad experiences with medications. I'm not being dismissive of bad experiences. I think calling it a bad, dangerous drug is harmful to a life-saving medication. It's often given to people that when it comes to the end of someone's life because it's sedative and it calms people down. Like I said, it's an approved drug for end-of-life use, saying that it's a bad drug just dismisses all the good that it actually does do. Would I consider taking another antipsychotic after this or no, it's my answer. It's the only antipsychotic I've been on that has not caused weight gain. I've actually been on to lose weight while taking this medication, which is a positive. I wouldn't say it makes me drowsy, though. It's obviously one of the drugs that makes you really drowsy and out of it. That doesn't happen with me. I've been on that, I am just intramuscular injection when I was having an episode a few weeks ago. I'm six weeks into that for you today. But I was IM'd with it and it didn't make me sleepy. It didn't calm me down. So I can't say that it worked with me, but I do know that taking the regular medication, it does keep me calm throughout the day. It keeps me on the steady line. When I wasn't on it, I was up, down, up, down, up, down, up, down. I was manic a lot and when I'm manic, it's so hard to be around me because I think everything's a great idea. Note to future self that everything is not a good idea. So for me, Halopyridol has changed a lot of things for me. I'm just glad that the psychiatrist agrees with me that it's a good medication that I'm on because I know there's a lot of psychiatrists out there that are a bit against the use of Halopyridol because it has this stigma that it's a bad drug and it should be banned. There are loads of people who say it's a bad drug. It's not a bad drug. You've had a bad experience with the drug. Doesn't make it a bad drug overall. I really doubt what it's useful. Halopyridol is an anti-cylothic medication that is used to treat schizophrenia. Halopyridols are used to control motor and speech attacks on people with Tourette syndrome. Halopyridol may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide. For me, I can say it's been a life-changing drug and I'll stand by that. I'm interested in what you guys think. And if you've ever experienced any side effects on this medication or what your thoughts are on this medication, let me know in the comments down below and I'll see you in the next one. Thank you to my patrons. Thank you to people who find me on Twitter and Instagram and thank you to those who support me over on Twitter. That's all I've got for the video. Bye.


Welcome to Solioid Mirror, I'm your hostess Betty St. LeVoe. On this show we talk a bit about film history, film definitions, and then we go straight into the movies. Today is the City of Angels Part II, our second episode about LA. So our first movie today, because we're going to go straight into the movies, is The Glorious Sunset Boulevard, directed by Billy Wilder, and he was helped with the story by Charles Brackett and their Time Magazine writer friend and bridge partner D.M. Marchon. It stars Gloria Swanson, William Holden, Eric von Strowheim, Jack Webb, Nancy Schaffa, and a couple other people who are old-time names in Hollywood. So first off I'll start with the plot, and that's because the end is at the beginning. In those days it was a very revolutionary thing to put the ending of the movie before you saw the movie, and that's exactly what Billy Wilder did. So the narration, and from what I learned today, and I've seen some Billy Wilder movies, but from what I was reminded of today is that he does use narration in his movies, and so we hear William Holden in the voiceover, in a voiceover explaining why he's floating in a pool face down. And actually there's police there, three cars showed up filled with journalists and cops and two motorcycles. So it happened that he died at the estate of a very wealthy and eccentric old movie star named Norma Desmond. Now this story is by many considered the penultimate Hollywood story, Hollywood about Hollywood. And yes, it even ranks above the player and LA Confidential and a couple other film noir that people would consider the story of Hollywood. So as we are looking at Mr. Holden's character, he's a down-to-out writer, can't sell a script to sell a soul, and Norma has this huge mansion, he's running from the repo men, and he sticks his car in the garage, he goes into the mansion expecting it to be deserted, but she lives there with her butler played by Eric von Stroheim, who we later discovered was her first husband. So this is what they call film noir, black comedy, but when Billy Wilder was asked what type of movie he thought it was, he said it's simply a picture, and it is, but it's a very interesting picture. So the definition of film noir basically is this, noir means black and dark in French, and film noir almost always includes, I wrote these words down here, I think I'm going to do them off the top of my head. Gritty, mysterious, gritty, mysterious, something needs to be solved. Enigmatic, sometimes there's villains and they're heroes, sometimes there's a chance for redemption for those of pure heart, sometimes there is not and usually there is not. This movie is classic noir because, something I was reading today, as the film is being shot in the interior of Gloria Swanson's house there, it's all very gothic looking. The currents are exactly drawn but you don't really see sunlight coming in. There are a few exterior shots but there are just as many night shots as there are day shots. So as he enters this mansion, Eric von Stonheim, who plays Max Merling, says to him, wipe your feet, but it's actually the tone of Baldale, miscreant, and hold and pause, hold and pause as he ascends the staircase to meet Swanson for the first time. It's a case of mistaken identity. They think he's the undertaker to pick up or chimp who just died. His pause is priceless. Richard Corlis, there were a couple of critics who said that Holden played the role with the slack jawed prettiness and that he was a spineless, his character was a spineless writer type and indeed he is. So if this is a dark comedy or a black comedy, the laughs are actually at Holden's expense because he becomes this very lonely woman's kept man. The laughs are not at Norma's expense. You can't remake this movie today. Just like you can't remake Imitation of Life and a couple other of them. She's an aging film star of 50. Now we all know, look at Helen Mirren. The days of an actress being put to pasture and she had 40 is over and Joan Collins certainly proved that. So did a whole bunch of other ladies I could think of. But back then it was unheard of for a woman to keep working after 40. When Gloria made this movie, she had left Paramount, which is, this is a Paramount made movie, she had left Paramount to go to United Artists because she wanted to have creative control of her work and she left with acrimony. And when she left Hollywood in particularly, Hollywood was mad at her and she was mad at Hollywood. And we'll see later how that all worked out. So her character, manic, lonely, prone to rage, wanting love, and saying like most people eating up by loneliness becomes Joe's staccaracci. He's running from the repo men, he's got an apartment, but she has Max move his clothes into the garage, the garage starts leaking and then into the house. And very slowly over a span of time, we see how he becomes a kept man. Now back in 1950 this wasn't done, but again it was very interesting how, when they were just about to do it or whatever, the camera would pan away. So I thought that was very tasteful. Now he is definitely sort of a heel in his own way, but he's with Norma because she's writing a script and he's helping her with it. He needs a job. At the same time he's romancing his friend Jack Webb, the guy who played our police captain, Dragnet. He's helping Jack Webb's girlfriend Nancy Schaefer with her own script and Gloria finds out. So the guy's a two-faced heel and when you look at the beginning of the movie you can understand why he turned up dead in the water right at the beginning of the flicker. So Wilder had considered lots of people for this part. There are two stories. One that he wanted Gloria no matter what and two from what he remembered, he considered quite a few such as, and he considered actors who were silent screen actors because that is what Norma was. It was all faces, not words, and she feels that that's why she doesn't have a job. So he considered actresses such as Pola Negri who he couldn't really understand her on the phone because of her accent. Mae West, which I thought that would have been a terrible, horrible miscasting. Marlon Brando to play the Colton character which could have been interesting. Fred McMurray, which would have been not so interesting. Greta Garbo, she didn't even consider it. Mary Pickford was offended at the fact that he was asking her to play an older woman who was sleeping with a younger man. So was Norma Scheer who was the Queen of Hollywood in those days. And Montgomery Cliff was also approached to play the Holden role but he didn't do it because he was actually having an affair with an older woman at the time who was Libby Holman who, if you catch the movie written on the wind, the movie is sort of about her. So he didn't really want to do it. However, as we see the cast, what we see, the end result is perfect except that Betty Schaefer and Jack Webb all respect. I found them the most annoying characters in the entire movie. Simply because Jack Webb played the gung-ho, hearty, OG whiz, I'm 22 and I just know him as my man on Dragonet. And Betty Schaefer, I have to give her kudos because she's also in the picture with Gloria. So if she was overacting a little bit, she was young, I'm sure she learned a lot from Adam Swanson there. Okay, so Holden got paid $39,000 less than Monty was offered. Monty was offered $5,000 a week, I think, for something like 12 weeks worth of work. And Holden, at that point, was actually playing himself. He was unfortunately going through a break-up of a marriage and his career was sort of on the rocks. This helped him come back a little bit. And a few years later, he won an Academy Award for Billy Wilder's excellent Stolog 17. I haven't seen that one years, but you all check that out. Let's see. The other reason why Holden's career was helped by this movie was because he was also in Born Yesterday that year, which actually won Judy Holiday Best Actress Oscar. So as Judy is winning, and there were excellent movies up for the Oscar that year, as Judy's name was called for Best Oscar, Gloria Swanson could feel everyone look at her. They were watching her, not only her reaction, but they actually expected her to do a Norma Desmond tantrum for not winning the Oscar, which I thought was pretty funny. In the movie Cecil B. DeMille, who plays himself, calls Gloria a young fella, and that's what she was called on the lot. She was born in 1899, and I believe she was a Capricorn, a Sagittarius Capricorn, and she'd been acting since she was 15 years old. But by the time she was 22 years old, she was right that she was going to be a star, and that's exactly what she became. She became one of the highest-paid actresses in the world in America. Now, one of the main reasons why she left Hollywood is because she formed a production company with Joe P. Kennedy and Eric von Stroheim directed her in a movie called Queen Kelly. And as Holden and Swanson are watching some of her old movies, what's playing on the screen is a clip of Queen Kelly. Eric von Stroheim was one of the greatest film directors of the silent era. He's up there with, I want to say, Fritz Lang, F. W. Murnau, and Joe von Stoenberg, but I think Joe did sound. Joe von Stoenberg worked with Marlena Dietrich. Mr. Stroheim's full name was Eric Oswald, Hans Karl, Maria von Stroheim, and his nickname was Von, and he was born September 22, 1885, and he died May 12, 1957, moved to America in 1909, and later, after his falling out with Hollywood, and there was a big falling out, he moved to France and died there and later won the Legion of Honor. Mr. Stroheim said that, Mr. von Stroheim said that, in France, you do one movie, you do it well, it's brilliant, and they honor you for the rest of your life. They don't forget after 30 years, he said in Hollywood, you're only as good as your last flicker, and that's why he really loved the French. The movie that he made with Swanson was called Greed, and it was, oh, oh, oh, pardon me, that's a different movie. The movie that he made with Swanson was called Queen Kelly, and it was not released until after 50 years had passed by and Swanson had walked off the set, but his magnificent Greed, which he made, was cut up by the studio and he had agreed to edit a bit, he edited it, and then another editor was called in and the editor in question had always had a great working relationship with Stroheim. What happened was it still got chopped up, he always blamed her, but one of the greatest tragedies in film history is that most of the film that had been processed, that was still being cut up, got thrown out by a janitor, which to this day just makes you shudder, and people don't really understand about that anymore because we have digital editing, but this was a tragedy. But the same thing happened, not so bad, the janitor didn't throw it up, but Magnificent Ambersons and Marlon Brando's One Eye Jax, the studio will go in if they think that a director has overshot or not played ball with them and they take matters into their own hands. And that's one of the reasons why he left Hollywood, one of the many. So on our last episode we were talking about the movie The Player and how Griffin Dunn was getting these poison pen letters by someone named Joe Gillis. That's actually Holden's name in this movie is Joe Gillis. Swanson would say that she played the part too well when the movie had a private screening. Louis B. Mayer jumped up and called Billy Wilder horrible, horrible names. There was a horrible, horrible fight between them. They said unmentable things to one another, both of them having arrived in this country. Neither of them I don't think were born here. According to their horrible, horrible names, but at that same showing at the end of it, Barbara Stanwick went over to Gloria Swanson and she was crying and she kissed the hemiphoid dress because Gloria had proved to everyone that even though you're retired and you're a woman, you can do it. And as Gloria was looking around for Mary Pickford, someone said to Gloria, Gloria, Mary's in the bathroom. She's just undone. She can't even talk to you. You did such a great job. So I love the stories about this movie, I like this movie. Seeing the movie recently, I wasn't as fond of it as I had been, but maybe because there's a lot of tragedy as we know now in our modern celebrity era when Hollywood's done with you, they are done with you.  So I think that that's about it for this one. I hope I didn't skip anything. Yeah, I would recommend this for date night. The kids can watch it. I'd like to thank The Guardian over in London, England for helping me out writing this. You can check out the article written about this movie. March 8th, 2003 issue and the August 1st, 2016. One last note, that opening shot of the movie. At first, you're seeing Holden float, I think spread eagle, face down the water. So it's as if you're looking up at him and seeing the police in back. While they didn't like the effect, he would put the camera in something, lowered it into the water, and then just didn't come out right. So what he did was the opening shot was achieved by placing a mirror on the bottom of the pool and filming Holden's reflection from above with the police to store it in the background. And that's about it. So please check that out. You're going to like it. You're going to love it. You're going to love Ms. Swanson's performance quite a bit. And we'll talk a little bit more about her in some other episodes. All right. So now to our next movie, which is the brilliant modern film noir set in the past, L.A. Confidential, with Kim Bassenger, who won an Academy Award, Russell Crowe playing himself, Guy Pierce, Kevin Spacey, Simon Denny Baker before he blew up and became a big old TV star, and again a cast of thousands. So this movie, which I own this one, I'm going to say that it's violent. It's racist. And it's awesome.  And I think it might even be bigoted towards Americans because the two leads are Australians. And what was up with that, that they couldn't find a he-man to play the two leads. But this movie, it's pretty wrenching. It's set in Mickey Cohen era, L.A. He's been running heroin for a couple of years. There's all types of magazines and out talking about stars, private lives. And Danny DeVito plays one of them. He owns this magazine called Hush, Hush. And a lot of what happens in this movie is Hush, Hush. Kevin Spacey, Guy Pierce, and Russell Crowe also play detectives who are all working on three different cases. And it turns out that the three cases eventually converge into one. So they're all going to have to try and get along if they want to crack this case.  And Russell Crowe, of course, plays the thuggish cop.  So let's see. Now, from what I can find in most Dominoal movies, there's always a love triangle. So Ken Bassinger's character plays a love triangle between Russell Crowe, the thuggish cop, and Guy Pierce, the straight arrow. So this movie also smacks of exploitation filmmaking because it exploits prostitution, it exploits corrupt dirty cops, it exploits racism, it exploits even misogyny up to a point because Russell Crowe, given his history in the movie, his character there, Bud White, he's also a woman-beater. So this movie is also not only filmed while it's exploitation filmmaking, in my opinion. Now, before Tom Hardy's muscularity became popular over here in the States, we had Russell Crowe. But Mr. Hardy doesn't throw telephones at hotel, help, et cetera, but it always amazes me that actors can have such bad boy behaviors and they can still be in, like, lots of movies. This was the second time I noticed Mr. Crowe. The first time was in the cheesy but good, quick and the dead, which I have a sneaking fondness for. He played a bad guy who turned into a good guy. And Russell Crowe's character in this particular movie, he's also conflicted. He's got a good heart, but he's prone to rage and violence and you certainly see a lot of this in this flicker. So this is the other side of the city of Angels. Can you fly as these officers' boss to Gangster? Can you fly? Because if you can't, best be getting back to St. Louis, Vosche Vermont, or New Orleans, dude. All right? The city of Angels is nowhere to mess around if you're a gangster or on the make. All right? So now A Star is Born, which is on my last episode. That's the other side of Hollywood where the purity gets in the way of the corruption and eventually wins the day. All right? And the player, which we saw in the last episode, is another side of Hollywood because that's the side of Hollywood where the studio is involved. It's the power and the studio can only be nicked slightly by scandal because the studio is not going to have any scandal happen to them and theirs. All right? So LA Confidential is the hush-hush side. It's the very scary side of any city, but especially the city of Angels. All right? So with exploitation movies, there's always a hint or the evidence of gratuitous sex, gratuitous violence. This movie, which it set in the wayback machine, but it was made around the turn of the century, is so beautifully eye-catching. Curtis Hanson directed it. I forgot to get statistics on the budget because I usually concentrate on Bassenger's performance. It's very, I like it. It's whimsical. It's raw. It's touching. She plays a call girl, but she doesn't look like one. And part of the plot is that this guy, played by David Stratham, has this harem of women who are look-alikes for famous movie stars, and Kim is the Veronica Lake in his collection. So this entire movie, instead of showing the side of Hollywood that we would rather see, you know, the star's born side of you make it, you make it, this is the side where you have to remember that Los Angeles has the largest homeless population in the country, simply because the gals and guys have got great teeth, great hair, and they got that MG and they go to make it. Sometimes it's the lucky ones who are the cursed few who are lucky. And that's a quote I got from somebody else talking about my Cory Hame there. So this is the second part of our City of Angels here on Soloid Mirror. I'm your hostess, Betty St. LeVoe. I think that wraps it up for me. My last episode, I talked about Wim Freakin's wonderful To Live and Die in LA, and I forgot to mention his big daddy movie of them all, The Exorcist. That is what, that's actually one of his most famous, he's known for that, but I always think of French connection as being his particular baby. I'd like to thank Gendron Building for its continued support over the years. And I would also like to thank my first film professor, Sharon Ardella, Warfield, Paris, Ojasan and Clarec for teaching me to articulate and appreciate the silver screen. Until next time, darling, stay away from those bad movies. Ciao.


what's up gamers welcome to the channel in this video I'm going to be showing you three ways three that you can get shiny cinderace in your game in pokemon scarlet and violet now the first way is going to be basically by being available and ready to do the event now this event might not be available when some of you are watching this video but that's how we have other ways in the video on how to do that now someone awesome from our discord named ori dropped this amazing graphic on how to do the cinderace seven star range which is pretty much what we followed a little modification though uh we just added on the support characters focus sashes so that when the cinderace does some crazy buff ups we're able to knock it out that's the only adaption we did so here is my footage of what we did pretty much so we did turn one we had armor rouge go for a psychic terrain we had three fake tears go out on the field then we had two helping hands on armor rouge as well as an attack boost and armor rouge did a big hit on cinderace it started to glitch out it boosted back its health just a little bit and then we kept getting knocked out because it started to boost up boost up but because we added focus sashes on our pokemon we were able to come back and chip away its health and eventually get it and I caught mine in a level ball which is going to be a big deal when it comes down to breeding because that level ball is going to be passed down to all the future score bunnies that we're going to get which is essentially going to be the first way do the raid and start to breed once you get your cinderace from the raid you can immediately start getting to breeding with a ditto in my case I have a ditto over here and this is a masuda ditto you can check out our masuda method ditto video over here where we talk about how we're going to use our discord to help everyone get masuda so if you want to get a shiny cinderace faster that is going to be the way in order to do so so what you want to do is you want to head over to alphanada and once you're in alphanada you're going to see this fancy restaurant over here these fancy restaurants usually have level two power items and we're going to scroll down here and look for something that gives us egg power to which is going to pump out eggs a lot faster so what you want to do is pay for that and that's going to cause your egg power level two to go up and the other ones really don't matter once you're done with all that just go ahead and open up a picnic once your picnic is open just wait about three minutes and you should have a max about 10 eggs or so and I should have a bunch of them in here one two there's another one three four five okay I'm just gonna collect all my eggs and let's get hatching okay egg number one oh wait oh my goodness there's no way that just happened to me I just finished a raid dude I oh my god okay I guess now I just hatched the other ones because I like making these thumbnails with a bunch of cinderace and square bunnies in it okay next score bunny score bunny number four score bunny number five if you are enjoying this video make sure you hit that subscribe button helps out the channel a lot and I really do appreciate it okay so while I'm in my area to take my thumbnail check it out this is the beautiful shot we're gonna try to figure this out on let me talk to you about some of the rates when it comes to breeding so if you are just breeding eggs alone without any shiny charm no masuda method you're looking at a one out of 4,096 chance of that egg becoming a shiny when you have just this shiny charm alone you're pretty much looking at one out of 2048 to be a shiny score bunny when you're using just a masuda method that is going to be a one out of 683 chance of that score bunny becoming a shiny now if you have the shiny charm and masuda method together that is going to be a one out of 512 which is pretty much how I was able to get my egg one score bunny which which worked I was using both shiny charm and masuda method listen it's not going to be that lucky last time I did a charmander one it took over 600 plus eggs so this was just a little bit of luck now for those people who maybe have missed the cinderace raid or for those who have never played pokemon sword and shield and don't have a cinderace maybe sitting in pokemon home this is going to be the best method and that's going to be going into the union circle and doing one with your friends so what you want to do and I know a lot of people say they don't have friends listen don't worry I have a discord where people are very nice and they'll be able to help you out with this so don't worry I will make sure to have the discord linked in the description you can join the discord and we can have ways of doing it but once you are in a group the way you're gonna do is they're gonna join into a world together and what we're going to do is grab our egg sandwich together here so we have egg power now you're going to have to set up a picnic so go ahead set up your picnic and what your other player needs to have with them is a pokemon that is either compatible with cinderace which means it's going to be the same at group or just have a ditto now the cool part about multiplayer breeding is that they don't have to own the pokemon you have which means all you both have to do now is simply just wait and guess what's going to start showing up in the basket for both players well they're going to be score bunny eggs for both players to benefit from and that's going to be the super cool part and there's a lot of fun stuff that you can do with multiplayer breeding so that way the pokemon violet player or the person who doesn't have the game will be able to grab a pokemon egg see there's my egg there you go that's two eggs right in that little recording and and the and the violet player will also be able to go ahead and grab some eggs from that basket which they're doing right now and everyone is going to be able to benefit and get score bunnies that is the trick on how to do it if you are late for the raid you don't use pokemon home or you haven't played a previous game where you're able to transfer it over to pokemon scarlet and violet and the cool part is because i caught mine in a level ball all the babies that the pokemon violet player will have will also be in level balls which is really nice and the third and final way which i know some people don't like doing because it's a paying method is going to be pokemon home which basically means you're going to have to own sorter shield catch a score bunny in there if you if you did shiny hunting before and download pokemon home which you can simply do from the nintendo eshop just log into the eshop and look at pokemon home and successfully download it to your game and when the compatibility is there in the spring for this it'll be available and if you're watching this in the future then you can simply just transfer over your your your pokemon that's it so yeah just go to the eshop type in pokemon home over here now it should show up easily on the screen and they have like payment plans and all that stuff but there's pretty much pokemon home you can also put it on your mobile app which is pretty cool i have one on my iphone so it's pretty convenient to organize my pokemon from my phone and yeah there it is pokemon home so just go in there make sure your games closed out when you are in pokemon home you know link up the save data once it's compatible and you'll be able to bring over your score bunny or cinderace into the game whether shiny or non shiny just it'll be compatible to breed with and now you know all three ways on how to get yourself a nice shiny cinderace in the game could be for if they add a dlc that has it in it if you want to check out this video click on this one over here i hope you appreciate this video and i will see you guys in the next one
