Most people in the health sphere are familiar with selenium because of Brazil nuts. Some bodybuilders know it because selenium is very popular in liver maintenance protocols. It's considered a trace element by conventional nutritional guidelines, meaning we need it in very small amounts. Problem is, it's very easy to become deficient in selenium, also very easy to become toxic. The idea of it being a trace element that it is so easy to get leads people to not seeking foods or supplements containing selenium. Hypothetically, if you're following a diet based around high-quality organic foods grown in soil with adequate mineral content, you wouldn't have to supplement anything, but that's not reality. And depending on the specific foods you eat, the location you're in will dictate your diet and that soil quality, therefore what you need to supplement in your diet. Typically everyone needs to take everything to some degree at varying frequencies, whether it's every day or once a week. Paleo, carnivore, raw primal dieters tend to develop more severe deficiencies in certain minerals, while the general population is deficient in just about everything. If I had to guess which fad diet was the best, still not healthy, I would say Mediterranean or Paleo, in a sense that you're not going to cause years and years and years of damage to your health that you're going to have to recover from if you follow the diet for a prolonged period of time. I was carnivore for about eight years and now it's going to take me three, four, five years to just recover from all of those imbalances. So if we take a look at the selenium content of some popular foods, it seems feasible to get it through your diet, especially when you eat beef every day. You have 33 micrograms of selenium and we don't really need more than 50. But even in a highly bioavailable food source like animal foods like beef, you might not be absorbing that selenium. That has to do with your specific organ function, enzyme capacity, the anti-nutrient content of the food and your gut microbiome health. In my case, since, you know, my liver and pancreas and gut microbiome was destroyed, I was heavily selenium deficient despite eating beef every single day in very large amounts, far exceeding the needed amount. There are far too many factors at play. So even if you were eating Brazil nuts, which have multiple times more selenium than any food we have access to, technically a toxic level if consumed on a daily basis, you might not actually be digesting it. Most people are in such an unhealthy state from the modern diet, the modern environment that we aren't able to absorb nutrients from our food. On the other hand, we do have access to pure vitamin and mineral supplements. So it's pretty quick and easy to gauge a reaction when taking even a small dose from a hypothetical deficient nutrient. I have organ supplements.com, which I created because of my beliefs in what we should be supplementing and in the context of our modern diet, but I'll talk more about that later. Brazil nuts, anti-nutrient content, not that safe of a bet, tuna halibut sardines, anything from the ocean, kind of polluted, has toxins in it, pork, very hard to get high quality and the nutrient content is similar to beef. So ideally, you eat plenty of beef and you have an ideal amount of absorption. And this is for three ounces of each of the respective foods. Someone actually asked in the Q&A last week, is selenium toxic? Is selenium a poison? And at the doses I've seen people taking, yes. Even the average supplement available commercially is dosed around 100 micrograms or 200 micrograms per pill. Now, most health organizations only recommend 100 micrograms. I think around 50 is a much safer amount, especially if it's a pure supplement. And I wouldn't even take those higher doses on a weekly or bi-monthly basis because when you take that high of a dose at once, even if you're only taking it so frequently, it's still kind of toxic at that one point and it can put a lot of stress on your body, which is why, as much as I would like to recommend food sources, if you're not absorbing it, it's simply better to take a smaller dose of a supplement, which is why everything on organ supplements is in a liquid form. So you could take a quarter of a dropper, a half of a dropper, and really mediate that dose. So the seleno proteins, which are what the liver turns selenium into, have very important antioxidant functions, maintaining normal physiological processes in cells. They help in muscle regeneration. But if you overdose on selenium, it can lead to oxidation, cell death. One study I was reading said that one milligrams per liter of selenium in the blood plasma can maintain those antioxidant functions, but when above two milligrams per liter, it stimulates cellular oxidation. And once the body is healthy, once you have an adequate selenium storage, the body is pretty good at recycling stuff, so you don't have to really take it that frequently, no more than a few times per month maximum. But if you're on a carnivore diet, if you're coming from a carnivore diet, it's very likely that you're going to be deficient in selenium as well as other minerals that I've talked about in the past. So let's touch on liver function. Although selenium is required for optimal liver function, a liver that is already near damage or damaged is so sensitive to it that it might make things worse, even any amount. So you want to try to get your liver into a reasonable state before taking selenium, and there are actually studies correlating higher plasma selenium to worse blood markers. However, there are also studies showing the opposite, that selenium levels were significantly lower in liver disease patients compared to the control group. Dietary assessments did not show a reduced dietary intake of selenium between the two groups, which indicates that the liver usage of selenium in distress can easily exceed that average dietary intake. Now if selenium is an antioxidant, then obviously plasma levels are going to be higher when the body is in distress. They're trying to prevent the oxidation. So those poor blood markers aren't necessarily caused by the selenium. And I'm surprised the researchers didn't indicate that. You know, it's the same as cholesterol where cholesterol is being blamed for heart disease, as a firefighter would be blamed for being at a fire when he's trying to put it out. Thyroid health comes up a lot when selenium is spoken about, and I think I did mention selenium in my past thyroid videos. The thyroid gland does store a higher amount of selenium than any other organ in the body. It uses it in the production of thyroid hormones to regulate metabolism, controlling growth and development in children and young adults. Maintaining an adequate iodine and selenium intake while reducing toxic halogens such as fluoride and chlorine are first priority.  So that could be a reason. There are a lot of studies on selenium and cancer prevention. It does reduce DNA damage and oxidative stress. So therefore it reduces the risk of certain cancers. If you have an adequate amount of selenium, which contributes to proper liver function, your detox system, the toxins that are causing the cancer will not be stuck in the body. So this isn't a direct thing. You know, it's because your body is healthy and a healthy body requires an adequate amount of selenium. Same thing with heart disease. Many studies showing higher selenium levels being associated with lower risk of heart disease. And that can be said about quite a few nutrients when it comes to heart disease, vitamins, minerals, especially D3, K2, magnesium. You know, doctors, modern health authorities have kept the simple secret of nutrition away from the masses. You know, they wouldn't be making any money. Finishing off with the immune system. And since there are much lower levels of oxidation in the body, if you have a proper functioning liver, because your selenium intake is adequate, when there is a foreign invader in the body, toxins or bacteria, you know, the body isn't dealing with so many other negatives, so many nutritional deficiencies, it's able to fight off those potential threats. So as I've mentioned several times, I think it helps to take selenium because our food absorption is definitely compromised. Even if the paper value of what we're eating says we have enough selenium. You're not accounting for the other nutrients in it, the anti-nutrients, is my body using up more selenium as they're not getting absorbed because of the specific food, which is why I do have a selenium supplement on organ supplements.com. I think I've said in past videos that it is important to take iodine with selenium so they are both utilized, but nothing crazy, guys. You know, sometimes I see people taking five, 10, 15 supplements at once with a meal, and it's just insane. You shouldn't be taking more than a few at a time, ideally only one at a time, so you can gauge your reaction, and then as you see your reaction to individual supplements, then you can say, hey, I know I feel better when I take this amount of this and that amount of that, so then, yeah, you could take them all at once with the meal and see how you feel. OrganSupplements.com, some really interesting stuff, guys. A lot of stuff that can just be taken every day very safely, too. Magnesium oil for the spray on the body. We got some masticum, and hopefully a zinc supplement very soon. So thank you guys for joining me. Hopefully this helps you guys out. I'm going to try to do maybe molybdenum next week and any other minerals that I haven't covered so far in detail.

All right, let's get started. So thank you, everybody, for coming. I am Vichen, too. I am a software engineer for the MariaDB Foundation. And today I'm going to talk to you about MariaDB. What it is we hope to accomplish and give you a preview of what is up to come in our next release. So a brief history about MariaDB. How many of you have heard of MariaDB before? OK. How many of you have heard of MySQL? I guess, pretty much, everybody. OK, so MariaDB is a fork of MySQL. The naming goes after Monty's daughter, Maria. This was the same for MySQL. His first daughter was called My, so MySQL. We had our first release in October 2009. And the reason for MariaDB's birth was to, as a response to Oracle's acquisition of MySQL, at that time it wasn't clear what the direction for MySQL will be. So we tried to maintain the spirit of MySQL, which was to keep development through the community. So all our work is done as a response to what the community needs and what the community asks of us. And due to this approach, we've now actually been accepted as the default MySQL variant in Debian 9. There may be questions about compatibility between previous MySQL version and MariaDB. If you have any concerns, we can discuss them now or after the presentation. I'll do my best to answer them. Another thing to note is that we do hold developer conferences. And if you want to give your input on what you think MariaDB should do forward, they are free to attend. Everybody is invited. The next one is in China. It is announced on marioDB.org, so you can look to see if you can attend. Okay, so let's just go through a brief history of all our versions. Each version tends to have one flagship feature or a theme, if you like. MariaDB 5.1 was the first version to guarantee that MariaDB is a free database. And then we've added progressively more complex features. Our most recent stable version is 10.2, which brings advanced creating features which other databases did have but MySQL and its ecosystem did not. We can... Examples are window functions and commentable expressions. If anyone is interested about this, I also have a talk prepared for this. You can give me feedback. If you'd be interested, I am more than happy to talk about them as well. And MariaDB 10.3 is now focused on compatibility. So we're trying to make it as easy as possible for people to migrate from other database systems to MariaDB. And in particular, we're talking about Oracle Database. So not MySQL, but the Oracle Database, which supports PL SQL programming language. So generally, we can say that migrating from MySQL to MariaDB is a relatively painless process, minus a few exceptions here and there. We've tried to play as nice as possible with whatever MySQL tries to throw at us. And we are generally compatible with almost all of their features. And we want to also tackle the proprietary database market. How can you convince people who are using proprietary databases to switch over to an open source one? Well, it's not easy to just tell them rewrite everything, make it work. Instead, why don't we try to provide as good of a compatibility as possible using the minimum amount of effort? So we believe that 20% of our work is needed to get about 80% of use cases working. And this is how we've guided our decision to support PL SQL. So I'm just going to go through most of the features, which are already in the alpha release of 10.3. If you have any questions, feel free to interrupt me at any point. So one of the interesting features is sequences. So you can create a sequence, which acts kind of like a table. And whenever you query a column in it, it will give you a number, which always increases. There's multiple parameters. You can make it loop around, make it skip elements in the sequence. This was something that a lot of people requested and it was implemented. It was actually not that complex to do. We also added support for intersect and accept. So you probably heard of union, which merges rows from two selects. Well, intersect and accept are the counterparts when it comes to set arithmetic. So intersect will give you rows that are in both selects, but not rows that are in just one of them. Whilst accept will give you all the rows from the first select that are not in the second select. Any questions so far? I'm not really sure how versed you are in the SQL language, so if there's something unclear, please interrupt me. We've also added support for the row data type, which acts like a structure from C or C++. You can declare it and it has members. Here we have a row with one integer column and one text column. And then you can access the members with the dot notation. You can also get the type of... You can create a row data type based on already existing tables. So here, for example, on the second example here, you can get the data type from the table row itself, or if you have a cursor, you can get the data type from the cursor. So it's very easy now to work with rows as opposed to just column values. You can also now declare cursors with parameters. So before this, you could select... You could create a cursor and then open it, but the way the cursor would go through the table would be fixed on how you've initially created it. But now you can actually have some sort of factory of cursors which have parameters. So here this cursor will go through this table, but it will only return the values between minimum and maximum. And these can be created using expressions as well. So this gives you a lot more flexibility when it comes to editing your application. If you have a lot of data in a table, it may make sense to split it up. An example from... I think booking is one of the largest corporations who make use of MariaDB. And they have a lot of bookings from all over the world. It makes sense for them to split the data by country, by continent. And this is what partition does. It splits your table into multiple tables each with certain rows which match a condition. We did not have this default case before. So you had to enumerate all the possible combinations. Now you just add the default here and it will catch everything else which was not caught in the previous rules. Here we have odd and even. And in case you allow null values, this goes into the third partition. Now whenever you do a transaction, you need to lock either rows from a table or the metadata from a table if you want to alter that table. If there are multiple transactions, they have to wait until the previous one finishes with its work. And you may not want to have it wait forever. So you can set a timeout. Previously, you could set this timeout with a session or global variable in the server. But you would have to always set it and unset it if you wanted to change this for certain queries. Well, now this is integrated into queries which require locking. So you can just specify this here and it will only affect that query. It's basically variable value per query. Now this one's interesting. This was actually contributed by a student I worked with last summer. So there may be functions that are in other databases that are not available in MariaDB implicitly. And you can use user-defined functions to simulate regular functions. Over the problem is with aggregate ones, it's hard to have them behave well when you have groupings and other modifiers added to them. You can now actually specify custom aggregates using regular SQL syntax. So the way you do this is you define the function with the aggregate keyword here. And you need to think about it in a couple of steps. So first, what should the function return once it finishes going through all the rows? This is covered here. So whenever we're finished with that group, we're going to return whatever is here. Now the logic in the function has to be in a loop because you need to go through multiple rows. And whenever you want the next row in that group, you have to call fetchGroupNextRow. So after this call here, the parameters which are here are going to be set to the next value in the group. So this allows you to define quite interesting functions. One which is very useful and is frequently requested is actually median. We have plans on supporting that natively, but right now this is an alternative on how you can get it to work. It is not currently available in the first alpha release, but it's coming up in the next one, which is probably in a couple of weeks at most. And now let's talk about Oracle compatibility. So this is the main focus on this release. We're trying to make MariaDB work with Oracle-style syntax. In order to enable this syntax, you have to set SQL mode equals Oracle. And then all sorts of syntax constructs from PLSQL are available in MariaDB. The reason why you need this mode here is that a few syntax constructs are incompatible with MariaDB syntax. So you cannot support both at the same time. It's either one or the other. For example, labels in MariaDB, they resemble C-style labels while Oracle has greater and lesser signs between the label. Also, Oracle needs a different order for out and in and in-out parameter types. This is supported in Oracle syntax. This is in Maria. Oracle also requires a mandatory as keyword when you're creating a function. MariaDB does not. If you do not specify the as keyword or is, it will return an error if the Oracle mode is activated. There is a correspondence for the exit statement, which Oracle allows. So if you want to exit a certain block, you can use leave in MariaDB syntax or exit in the Oracle syntax. You can also set variables using MariaDB syntax with equals or Oracle with dot equal. This works with system variables too. So if you have something which is not only using store procedures, this will also work. You can define exceptions in MariaDB and in Oracle, but where you define these exceptions and how they're handled is different. So MariaDB has them initially in the top. Oracle has them at the end. With Oracle mode, this works. Also, there's a difference between in-out and in-out. This is MariaDB. This is Oracle. This was a simple change in the parser, but without this, it would not have worked. Also, there is no longer just a value. It can also be a statement. You can have it not to do anything. Now, there is also a problem with return. So Oracle requires you to do return when you're creating a function. MariaDB required returns instead, so it was create function f1 returns int. Oracle has a return int. We now support both. And also, you can now use returns in stored procedures as well. Before, you could only return it from a function, because only a function can return a value, but now it also works to finish execution of a stored procedure in MariaDB. While loops, you could execute continue like in a regular programming language with MariaDB, but the statement was a bit confusing. We now support a continue statement, so it tells you to basically go through another loop of the while loop. And there's also this matching between data types. So varchar2 is synoned into varchar, number to decimal, date to date time, and so on. So all these were necessary in order to support PLSQL syntax. The good part is that these were not actually too complicated to do. And this is a list of multiple different features, which we had to add. One of the key ones is we now support for loops. So we could use while to simulate a for loop, but now there is for loop syntax available. And all these are oracle attributes for cursors. I'm not going to go through all of these. I will have this presentation available, so if there's anything that you think you're missing from this, you will be able to find the presentation of problem. I've already mentioned go to statements here. And now... So these are mostly details. I don't want to go into too much about those, but let's look at things that are not yet in 10.3, but will be before this release freezes its features. So package is basically like a namespace for functions and procedures. It's currently supported in Oracle. We will support it in MariaDB as well. And hidden columns. This is one of the more interesting aspects. So how do hidden columns work? Well, for a regular column, if you do select star, it's going to show up in the data results. If you hide the column, you can hide it depending on how hidden you want it in various ways. So you can have them a little bit hidden and that if you do select star, it's not going to be visible to the application. So in case you have a legacy application which does select star, you can hide columns which are adding in your newer applications. But if you want to use them, you just have to query them explicitly and it will work. More hidden columns are hidden if they're not explicitly queried, but this also affects create and alter statements. You can think of them like a pseudo column. These are quite frequent in Oracle. So if you specifically mention that column, it gets generated for that particular query. Or very hidden. This is mostly oriented for performance. If you know that a certain column, if computed, will speed up queries based on how the optimizer will fit. We'll find query plans. You may want to just create this column and have it only on the database side. So the keyword here is that this very hidden column may be indexed. Also, we do support compression, but you can now also compress individual columns. So maybe you want to have some which are not compressed for performance reasons whilst you want to compress others for storage space reasons. And then spider storage, which is a distributed storage engine, is going to be updated to the newest release. Things which we would want to have, but we're not sure if they're going to make it, is an update for Galera 4. I think we're still waiting on them to provide it. Data types, arrays, support for time zones. And sub partitioning this may come in. It's not really that complicated, as well as table functions which are a natural progression following the row data type which we now have. All right, that's about it when it comes to features. I hope this was not just a full, just a long list of things. So now, if you have any questions, particularly about MariaDB, even a 10-1 version which is now in Debian, I'm more than happy to take any questions. So let me see if I understand the question. So the question is if there is a big difference between MySQL 5.7 and 10.1. So there are differences when it comes to the data directory. MySQL has done backwards incompatible changes in the data directory, so where it stores metadata about users, procedures, etc. But we have tried to make it work as much as possible. So you should not have any immediate problems when you're migrating. The potential problems are on the replication side. So if you're using a master-slave replication, the implementation for global transaction IDs are completely different. They are not compatible with each other. We try to support MySQL's replication statements, but we do not support their full set of features there. And it doesn't work the other way around, so MySQL will complain horribly if we try to use MariaDB as a master. The thing that I can suggest to you is to first make a backup. That's a sensible thing to do. Try it out, see if it works for you. We've had large corporations switch from MySQL to MariaDB, so it is possible. If you have big problems, you can always ask on the mailing list. We are very active and responsive. It's just that for the regular user, this should not be a problem. One question from IOC, actually. I'm not sure what he means by that. Does MariaDB have any plans to support data warehousing? Yes, so how does this IRC thing work? They're basically looking at the live stream, right? Okay. MariaDB is trying to move towards the data warehouse market. This is mostly driven by the MariaDB Corporation at the moment, so not the MariaDB Foundation. If you're interested, you can look up ColumnStore, which is a storage engine specifically aimed at analytical queries. That's probably the thing to look at. It's still open source, so it's still available. Probably the version 10.2 is where you're interested in, because that's where we support window functions and commentable expressions, things which are very used in analytical queries. Is it all using Python with MariaDB? Does it work similarly to the Python interfaces to MySQL? Are there particular libraries that exist? The VConnector for Python MySQL works for MariaDB. Sorry? The Python connector for MySQL plays nicely with MariaDB. Anything that works for MySQL should work for MariaDB in this case. I personally have created a few websites using Django, and they are running on the MySQL backend, but running MariaDB as a server, and it works just fine. In converting from an Oracle database, I'm thinking of a specific database that has lots of stored procedures and things like that. Can you talk about the process of coming from that database to MariaDB? I don't have personal experience with migrating directly, but I know that there are companies who are doing this right now. I think the best approach is to actually ask on the mailing list and see if there are people who have direct experience with migrating. There probably will be. The way I would tackle the problem is to slowly add the stored procedures directly. You should copy-paste whatever code you have to create your database in Oracle, move them to MariaDB, see if everything... you don't get any syntax errors, and then see how you can port the data itself from Oracle to MariaDB. Another question online. What's the difference between the foundation and the corporation? Okay. So the foundation is a non-profit organization. The corporation is a for-profit organization. The foundation has copyright over the MariaDB server code, and the MariaDB foundation has the final say when a release happens and what it contains. If we think that something the corporation really wants is not in the best interest of the community, the MariaDB foundation has the final say in this. And now if somebody is concerned about the independence of the foundation, it is true that the corporation does sponsor the foundation. It is one of these sponsors, but it is not one of the largest sponsors. So there isn't the financial incentive if you're worried about that. There was an announcement about this, I think, in April, where the corporation is funding about one-sixth of the foundation's financial resources. I think now it may be even less because we've had larger sponsors come up. What the corporation does provide, however, is development resources. So the corporation is one of the major providers of software engineers that will work on the MariaDB server. Then again, if these developers are doing the wrong thing, the foundation can just say no, this is not what we want. I hope that answers your question. Just curious you can feel free to refuse to answer, but I'm just curious how Oracle may perceive the compatibility. I'm not aware of any other products or any other projects that have taken on that, kind of directly saying that we would like this piece of the market. So I'm not quite sure I understand the question. My question is, do you know or do you feel that Oracle will have strong thoughts about this compatibility being added to MariaDB? I tend not to think about the commercial aspect, because I don't have any stake in this commercially, but our view is that we want people to make use of open-source software, and the barrier is the transition between proprietary solutions and open-source solutions. If we can help ease this transition, then it's a win for everybody. If there are no other questions, I also held Reddit to ask me anything around March, so if anybody is interested in hearing more of my view on how MariaDB works, you can find it on reddit slash MariaDB. I think right now it's about page, second page of the list of topics, but I do provide a few points, especially when it comes to open-source development. I thank you everybody for joining my talk, and if you have any questions, I'll be around till the end of DebConf. Thank you.

I'm like that's impossible right because the camera would have to be Going through whatever is on the screen Because you're going to have things on the screen from time to time but I guess if The phone and you know the sensor and everything involved is smart enough to say, okay everything that we're seeing You kind of flip it and take it out and you get a clear picture that way I mean, that's awesome. It seems impossible to me But I I can't imagine that we would be going in any other direction at this point So one thing about that sarah you make a really good point is That what what I think you're going to end up seeing I'm going to predict right here Is that the images from this will be at the very least slightly darker than you would get if it didn't have to Also provide transmission of the of the imagery on the glass Because you you pretty much can't have both think about like a one-way mirror You know how it's you can see through it, but it's kind of darker I think you're going to get an effect like that just by the nature of you know the physics of optics And then it comes down to how good the algorithm is at re-brightening it, right? None of these images are ever left Alone they'll they'll try to make it look back to natural and we'll see how good that that works It is the selfie cam, right? It's not the front. It's the front facing cam. Those are always a little less High resolution than then the camera on the back of a phone So I think that's why they're thinking they could probably get away with it And they may have cracked the algorithm. Who knows I can't wait to see it Well, and when it comes to selfie cams, I mean everybody we we've all got our own little tricks But it tends to be the camera that is of you You know or you and a friend that's next to you or that sort of thing So to be able to kind of like add a little of the right hgr And maybe a little smoothing on that selfie cam It might end up that people are like zte has the best selfie cam ever and it's invisible. Yeah. Yeah Well notch haters rejoice Here's your phone You win The messenger app telegram added an alpha version of video calls to android and ios in the us As with messaging and audio video calls now can be end to end encrypted call participants can confirm A call is encrypted by comparing four emojis shown on the screen and the feature also includes picture in picture Now Allison, I know you you actually wrote a blog post about how much you like telegram So so so how does this new encryption feature make it all the more sweeter for you? Well being able to do video inside the app that is end to end encrypted is is definitely cool And I am a card carrying apple fangirl. You know, I've got it a tattooed on my shirt But I still just can't stand Messages, you know the blue green bubble wars.  You can't edit what you've done That's kind of the stuff I wrote about adding this video In in the app being able to do video chat along with audio chat. That's all encrypted. That's awesome. I love it Yeah, it's I mean telegram is extremely popular in large swaths of the world, uh, especially your eastern europe And and turkey and places like that. I know it has a huge user numbers it is One of the more secure Messaging systems out there when you hear it criticized for being insecure It's usually because telegram was often marketing itself as comparable to signal which signal is By all accounts the best encryption you can get in messaging and telegram doesn't quite measure up to that But when you compare it to whatsapp telegram is perfectly secure And certainly when you compare it to messenger or like you say the messages app built into android or ios It's crazy more secure than that. So not having video calling. I think it was an essential feature for telegram Yeah, yeah, and they've they've open sourced their encryption algorithm They did roll their own and that's what security Specialists get annoyed at them for but they did open source it so you can look at it and see if you think they're doing it right All right, uh, let's talk about something happening in the schools Well axios is uh Dan pre-mech reports that american students are facing a laptop shortage particularly among low cost crumb books Commonly used in k-3 8 schools sales of crumb books began to surge as covid 19 lockdowns began in march with analysts at mpd group consistently seeing weekly sales Up 20 to 40 on the year Even as analysts at gardener saw pc shipments increasing much slower at 0.8 percent in q1 and 3.5 percent in q2 Acer america president greg prender gas says that there are they are not even close to enough crumb books to meet the demand as schools Reopen part of the issue is the overall shortage of components for laptops further disrupting laptop manufacturing capability Yeah, uh, this is a tough one because uh, you had a spike in demand beyond what was expected So even if everything else in the world was working perfectly they would have had trouble meeting demand because we suddenly saw More demand than logistics experts would have been expecting But of course the reason for the spike in demand was the same reason that manufacturing Experienced some interruptions And so that caused a shortage in both fully assembled crumb books as well as the parts So this this is a problem. I don't know if it's The thing that is you know, there's so many problems with with schooling right now because of Worries about transmission of the virus and mixing remote learning with in-person learning safely and and all of that in fact Justin robber young's politics politics politics program did a great Special on those issues if you're interested in that go listen to it He talked to some folks about the brookings institution over saying. Yeah, you know Tech is a problem, but there are even bigger problems like just having Parents home if they have if both parents have to work to be able to help kids with distance learning I didn't see any estimates of how fast Manufacturing might be able to catch up And I'm curious how long this this shortage might last because it may be something that where schools can sort of get by with the equipment They have temporarily The problem is they've been using this equipment so much because of distance learning that The chrome books they have are starting to wear out faster too, which means higher replacements I mean, I'll say this for for my child Who's going to be attending kindergarten two days up the block? This the the school district basically had you fill out a form if you needed Equipment if you needed like a wi-fi router and you needed a chromebook but most of the stuff is Applications that can be installed on my wife's six-year-old mac book pro And would also work on my you know all the stuff I have so I think for for parents who already have Equipment that's maybe within the past five to six years They're pretty much covered on being able to interact and do all the stuff all the lesson planning stuff That the school has in chart has in mind but For for you know areas where access to technology is going to be a little tighter I'm wondering if they're going to have to either You know Buying more or maybe just ask for donations from the community. Yeah, the the the situation is so interesting it Presents such logistical challenges because you know, I remember Not even I don't even remember going to a school district where it was like known that we didn't have enough budget Although I'm sure teachers would disagree with me But you know, sometimes you double up with books, right? There are too many kids in the class and we don't all have our own book And so you do that sort of thing. Well, okay Let's say Roger's daughter has a chromebook and the kid down the street doesn't have a chromebook And and there's like no way that they can participate without this particular piece of technology Well, you can't just go over to the friend's house and share the chromebook Doesn't work that way at least not right now or not without a lot of pre-planning and and you know And everybody feeling safe about you know, there's some sort of an educational bubble. So yeah kind of a mess All right, here's another school related mess But it's for university students or at least people headed to university the uk has decided not To issue exam results graded by algorithm for students in england, wales and northern ireland After accusations that the algorithm was biased against students with poorer backgrounds Scotland already had made this same decision earlier the exams If you're not familiar and known as a levels and are instrumental in acceptance to university Formal exams were canceled because of the lockdown. So this is where the problem came Usually a student might get provisional acceptance based on their a levels By looking at what their ranking was or what the teachers estimate they would get on their a levels And then they just have to take the the test, you know to fulfill it But they didn't get to take the test because of the lockdown So the uk's office of qualifications and examinations regulation or of qual used student rankings and The historical performance of students from an individual school to estimate a level performance Well, guess what poorer schools have historically poorer performance But that doesn't mean that all the students in a poorer school perform poorly So there were problems the overall curve of what they determined did fit normal expectations because algorithms are good at big data sets But thousands of students received grades that were lower than teachers estimates 35.6 percent were lower than teachers estimates by one full grade So you can say well a few of them might have not just not done as well on the a level had they taken up But that's quite a lot more than you would expect and 3.3 percent were down by two full grades Which seems unlikely fee paying independent schools what we in the u.s. Would call private schools saw their grades rise faster than state funded schools as well because again that historical data was causing a problem Yeah, that doesn't sound good. Yeah, it's it's Like you said tom if it was you know a few sort of like this data doesn't quite fit 35 percent being lower by a full grade when You know it might be the difference between getting into a really important university for what you Like to study in order to get a job later on in life huge deal two grades That's insane But then of course if you've got a bunch of public school kids saying oh cool. All right. Well now we're In a pickle, but some of these independent schools that are expensive that only certain people can go to Are seeing a bump in the grades from this algorithm.  Well, and it's not like the uh the teacher Estimates aren't also capable of bias. They certainly are it's just that everyone was used to using those As the way to provisionally get accepted. So I even though it's probably biased as well I think people are like, yeah, but that's a bias i'm familiar with Well, this might be good news On this monday apple expanded its program to provide parts and training to independent repair shops for non warranty repairs to include max Previously you might recall that apple only authorized shops to repair iphone's or repairs that were covered by warranty Third-party shops must be admitted to apple's independent repair provider program to be eligible to buy parts and also receive free training materials Yeah, I am so excited about this I happen to have the complete and utter luxury of having not one two three but four apple stores within easy driving distance of my house And when I needed warranty work on a on a brand new macbook pro, I could not get an appointment It's not that I couldn't get one soon. It was the appointment time was listed as never And so I just I had no choices at all And it's like, well, why do you even bother to have that as as an option if I can't ever get an appointment? So to be able to go to authorized shops and there's a ton of authorized shops around me would be really nice for warranty level work I've even I even had apple when this happened to me I called him and I was like, well, what am I supposed to do if I can't get an appointment And they said, oh, well here's a certified place you can go to and I went to them and they said No, we can't help you apple actually sent me to a place that couldn't help me So to be able to have this for for max is really good I do have to say being in the aftertimes not the before times now my husband Steve Had a problem with his macbook pro and he sent it in for repair and it was not gone from our house for 48 hours It was unbelievable. We got he got emails like every three hours. Okay. It's a ups It's here. It's being shipped. It's been they've opened it up. They've figured out what's wrong They've replaced the party. He just got mails all the way along. It was like 36 hours. It was crazy good I don't know if that's Demons or you know, all of them are gonna be like that, but it was great Right, right. Your mileage may vary but but yeah, at least at least it worked And if you're out there saying well, wait a minute. I took my apple Product to a third party. I took a mac to a third party to be repaired In warranty repairs were authorized previously. This is the change here is now Non warranty repairs can be done by third parties, which means the third parties They could make those repairs before but they weren't supported in any way by apple now. They'll get parts. They'll get training They'll they'll be able to have better access to the information they need and I can't imagine that you know The pushes for right to repair laws Didn't you know, maybe coax apple along this path. They'd already done it for iPhones Of course, they were going to do it for max, but uh, certainly didn't hurt Put it that way. I couldn't even get it on the warranty once I know that's really bad. I love that. Bring your bring your product in never Uh, folks, if you want to get all these tech headlines each day in about five minutes on those days when you don't have enough time To listen to the full 30 minute dTns get daily tech headlines. We deliver it five minutes each Subscribe at dailytech headlines.com Allison hosts many excellent podcasts and one of them is called taming the terminal a delightful journey Where bart buchats teaches allison how to use the command line Bart has created a set of comprehensive show notes to go along with that series So allison you wanted for a long time to take those show notes and make them into a book Which you have now done congratulations. That's super awesome What finally got you going on this project after wanting to do it for so long Well, when I first looked at it So part has these terrific show notes and like you said, I'm just the stooge in the audio I don't do any of the heavy lifting of writing the show notes But he's got these in a blog format and I tried doing it like using iBooks author and some other tools and it was just a nightmare It wouldn't work and I tried to get good friend of dTns Shelly brisman to help me and she said no it's it's it's hell on earth I'm not going to do it for anybody and I said, okay, teach me. She said no It's too hard to do that So I just kind of had it on the back burner for a while But a wonderful listener of the show a woman named helma van der linden It has a phd in I forget what but she's a really really smart person. She was able to write Code and take open source tools to turn this website Into an e-book and it's not just an e-book in one format. It's in all the format So she has a nightly build that creates a pdf in a for it does a pdf in a late and half by 11 It does an a mobi that you can email to yourself on your kindle book It does an apple books version with an embedded hdml player Which apple will not allow in the bookstore and an apple books version that goes into the apple bookstore that doesn't have the player So she the the the really luscious thing about this was bark created all of this content under a creative commons license I created the podcast under a creative commons license. So we open sourced what we were doing She was able to take like 12 different open source tools open source programming languages open source libraries Using we used git to write the book So so I do all of the editing of the book and and writing all of the the pieces of it and automating It was all done with open source tools And then we were able to give it as a gift to bar Where we put it into his git repository at bar to fissure dot net So it's just like this circle of happiness If you want the full details on this they're they're fascinating and allison has them uh over at pod feet dot com We'll have links to to post about that here But I think one of the most fascinating part of this is the open source community Making this possible in a way that proprietary didn't Yeah, yeah, so when when I went around, you know, putting it into different places I went to put it in the kindle store. You'll notice. I said you can email yourself the mobi That's because uh amazon would not let me put it up for free I have to put it up for a minimum of a dollar and it's kind of like well It's worth way more than a dollar So i'm not going to put it for a dollar We're actually looking at is there some way I could put it up for maybe five bucks and the revenue We give it all to archive.org which is where all the audio files are Try to do some sort of transfer like that But it was kind of kind of funny especially in these days and times that i'm not allowed to give something away for free on amazon Yeah, and you would think that there would just be a tool out there that's like, oh Upload your your text and we'll convert it into all the book formats you want But but there was no service what there was was a sequence of of open source tools that you definitely You know needed someone to go and navigate if you read through Her experiences dr. Vendor linden's experiences You know, it didn't didn't work the first time out But because it was an open source situation It wasn't costly to switch to a different thing or to you know Once she had converted it down to mark down to say like well now I think I wanted to convert it in this other thing Because everything was free and there were people willing to help In fact, didn't she even get a bug named after her or dedicated to her or something? Yeah Yeah, so she ended up figuring out there's a a Tool called ascii doctor which came from the original ascii doc which predates markdown And ascii doctor is a lot like markdown, but it allows you to write a book It's made for making a book and she got into it. She got to know the developer We she brought the developer into our private secret from bart get repository and he was helping with it so the the people who were contributing and now we're in the process of uploading a A new chapter to the book right now. We just recorded a new one yesterday And a guy just submitted fixes typos that he found in the latest version So there's just people helping each other and and they've They've come out with updates to ascii doctor that solved a couple of problems that we had and it's just been It's been really joyful to be able to do all this not just for for free as you say But to be able to have people helping people and it all based on a product That in and it's of itself is an open source project Yeah, the the free I think is most important in in making you feel like you didn't waste your time like Oh, no, I sunk all this time and now now I have to pay for something else, right? It's like well, I tried that let me it's it's it's easy to try something else But I love that idea that in the course of making this and granted this isn't for everybody This isn't the the one-click solution that you would recommend to the novice You you have to want to do this the way dr. Vanderlinden did But the payoff is not only was she able to make your Dream come true so to speak, but she actually improved ascii doctor In in in the course of doing it too is you know, so it kind of pays it forward Yeah, yeah, that was fantastic. I do want to mention Tom said we have a link to the blog post But it there is an audio recording about an hour of her explaining the process she went through and it's If nothing else you will walk away realizing that she's a freaking genius Amazing so the fact that my name is on the title of the book And she did all the heavy lifting of that bartered all the heavy lifting of the of the text I took you know second billing on it But my name should be in a real little font because I just did the podcast part You're the you're the steve jobs I'm the visionary to her wasniac. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She does all the work. I'll take the credit she and Bart And then of course, I you know if people don't know the whole point of this was to make a wonderful surprise for Bart I mean at the point was I guess to make it easy for people to read it as well But but you were able to to put a smile on his face. It sounded like Oh, yeah. Yeah, and Bart has been on dtns. So see it's another big circle of uh, of happiness here. Exactly Well another circle of happiness. Oh go ahead, tom No, I was just gonna say if you want to check out the book pod feet.com slash ttt book, but we'll mention it again Uh, we'll also mention discord. Yes We're not gonna forget you discord because we love you so much If you want to join the conversation that's going on in our discord 24 7 You can join by linking your patreon account patreon.com slash dtns Oh, look at that. It's a mail bag. Oh my gosh. There is a mail bag And it comes from john John points out that creators and viewers on youtube May be wondering why they're not getting email Email notifications about new videos that are getting posted by people that they subscribe to john says I was wondering why dtns hadn't posted for a couple days. Then I came across this This is from youtube support quote If you're opted in to get emails about new uploads live streams and premieres from channels You're subscribed to these emails are going away on august 13th You'll still get notified on mobile via the youtube app or on desktop via your chrome browser If you've turned these notifications on if you haven't turned them on yet You can do so in notification settings now john says he suspects that many channels may see a large fall in views However, youtube says they did this because less than 0.1 percent of these emails were even opened And that the company was getting feedback from users that they were just annoying I turned on these email alerts and now i'm getting them. I'm annoyed I wonder how many people saw the email and went oh, okay. I can go look at it now Like why do you need to open it? To click. Yeah, but you're right If you already have youtube open and you know or or it's easy enough to get to you You may just see the email and not go to it. Uh, I don't know It's it's probably not going to to affect traffic Precipitously, but if you are someone who was listening to this because you had to find it otherwise and wondered why you weren't getting your youtube alert Well, now you know Also came in right before the show because that epic news with apple With apple threatening to cut them off from the developer program also came in right before the show Dennis in rainy capedown Wanted to point to a keynote from tim sweeney at dice 2020 that kind of presaged all of this He says that the heart of his strategy is the two mobile platforms themselves in his view They are general purpose computing platforms and that the restrictions being applied is limiting and arbitrary and it should be challenged He has challenged microsoft on that very point and got microsoft to adapt its policies to his satisfaction So as tinnis says buckle up It's a long road ahead at the heart of the matter is the business model of google and apple on their respective mobile platforms So we will be following as the battle continues. Yes, we will We will also be shouting out patrons at our master and grand master levels as we do on every show today john and becky johnston Justin zealors And someone who would like to be referred to as you know who and i'm we we do know who you are But we're not going to say because we're respecting your privacy, but you know who but also because you know who Yeah, well, you know who you are and we know who you are and everybody else can just take a wild gas I suppose Hey, thanks to allison shared and for being on the show today and bringing the knowledge as usual allison What have you been up to and how can people follow your work?

Hey guys, Shaper1000 here. Garden update, or, am, I just filmed a garden update, I'm sorry. Sunflower challenge update, week two, okay? I'll be putting this in the garden in, like, its own playlist for you guys. I'm gonna check it out later. Like I said, I don't think that one's gonna come up, and I don't think that one's gonna come up, but here's what we got so far. I'm probably gonna have to replant these probably tomorrow, within the next couple of days anyway. These two were for me and Monkeys challenge, and these ones are just, you know, for the challenge, so they're doing well for being in them little pots. And I'll show you what Monkeys look like. They're doing well too, but they're not as tall, but they're in a bigger pot, so... Yeah, so hers are getting there. Hers are standing up pretty straight right now, so I don't know if she's gonna leave them in here or what. So she's got one, two, three, four, five. She's got six in here. So that's cool. They're doing well.  Just kind of wondering. You got the camera set up back there. I am time-lapsing. What was it? Right there. I'm time-lapsing them, um, some of them peppers, which I ate one last night that was fully ripe. It's kind of a creeper. It'll sneak up on you. So today, there's supposed to be a crew coming in to take the rest of this tree down. Neighbors are paying for it because it's technically their tree. They said they'll take care of it for us. They don't want to fall in on our house. But so anyway, guys, they show up. That'll be another good video too. I'll film some of that for you guys. So in the meantime, you guys keep cool. Hope everyone had a great weekend and I appreciate you watching. Thanks a lot, guys. Shea Bear the myth man legend. I'm out of here. I'll see you soon. Bye-bye.


Hey guys, welcome to another episode of use it or lose it for 2021 despite Whatever happens that else that happens this year. I am bound to determine to keep up what I started last year with using up What I have and buying less art supplies. I have plenty of stuff to make things work. I don't really need more stuff So this month I have a lot of stickers Like I don't even bother to try to save the sticker ways for you all anymore because there's just too many every night I use a handful of stickers in my daily art journals And if you want to see those journals and what I'm doing, I do post them to social media and especially Instagram Every evening most of the 99% of the time. I mean life does happen. So sometimes I don't they don't get posted right away but most of the time my Instagram and Facebook art groups and all of that stuff is down in my link tree list and links Which is in the description below the video along with my Etsy shop ways to support the free content the place where you can buy My art foamy's I've designed The free class that I'm going to be teaching with Bay of Grub all of that stuff doll all down there. Check it out all right, so besides Crap ton of stickers. I did manage to use up one tube of paint. I know it's not a lot but one tube of paint in March and I've also been going through a whole bunch of magazines and culling Words and images and inspirational things Quotes all kinds of stuff These are actually the garbage part of the magazines and I've actually started saving them because I'm thinking Maybe a friend of mine one in particular. I know might want what's left of them So I'm gonna contact her. I mean I could just throw him in the trash But I could also put him in a purge box in the Etsy shop. Anyway, what do you all think I should do? Let me know leave something down in the comments below If you have questions comments or concerns, please let me know what they are and leave something down below You can also contact me privately my email address should be in the video description if we're friends on social media You can message me over there What else support the free content if you can not just mine But all of your favorite content creators probably have a way most of them anyway Check out their video descriptions and see what they have that you can do that with whether it's patreon or something else I do have a patreon.

How do you know if a person likes you or if they're just being friendly? You may be getting mixed signals from someone and not know what to do about it. Does it mean that they're romantically interested in you or do they just see you as a friend? If this is something you're struggling with, fear not. Today we will be looking at 10 signs that they're just being friendly and not into you. Number one, they don't reciprocate your advances. Are you always the one trying to engage with them? If you notice that you're always initiating conversations or planning for events with them, then you're probably stuck in the friend zone. Similarly, if they're not giving you the time you deserve, it may mean that you're not on their list of priorities. While this may upset you or cause you to do something uncharacteristic to get their attention, remember that there is nothing wrong with you just the way you are. Number two, they get confused by the things you're doing. Have you ever tried to subtly ask them out? How did they respond? If they seemed confused, mildly uncomfortable, or like they didn't care, then they'd probably see you as just another one of their peers. After all, if they really liked you back, then they'd jump at any opportunity to get closer to you. So if they seem confused by your actions, maybe it would be better to leave them alone for the moment. Let them come to you first, and then you engage. Number three, they talk about the people they're seeing. Do they open up to you about their crushes or recent flings? They may do this because they genuinely like you, but just not in a romantic way. It's not easy to constantly be on the receiving end of them talking about their crushes. You may feel jealous or develop a negative outlook on yourself. In this case, it may be best to tell them that you're uncomfortable about the topic and would prefer to talk about other things. Number four, they treat you like how they treat their friends. Friendships are good foundations for relationships. But what if they're acting too friendly to the point that it's not even romantic anymore? Being attracted to someone comes with a certain pressure. You may find yourself intentionally highlighting your attractive qualities to gain their attention. So if it seems that they're doing the exact opposite of that and are not afraid of showing you their unfiltered selves, such as by changing in front of you or eating with their mouths open, then it's likely that they see you as just a buddy. Number five, when you hang out, they bring other people. Have you ever been disappointed because a supposed date became an all-out mingling session? When you ask them out, do they always arrive with a friend or two? While you may be frustrated and annoyed at what they're doing, it may actually be their way of putting boundaries between the both of you. Perhaps they've already gotten wind of your feelings and are trying to put some distance between you two. They may be bringing other people in to act as mediators between you. Number six, they say things that make you second-guess their feelings. Did you think that someone was into you only for them to say something that completely wrecked that thought? It's not a secret that if someone likes you, they'll probably compliment you a lot. But sometimes you may mistake those compliments to be something more than they actually are. That's why it helps to learn to accept compliments and leave it at that. Try not to think further about what it means. If they really like you, they will show and do more things to make you know. Number seven, when you get teased together, they laugh it off or deny it fast. Are they quick to brush off people's comments that tease you both together? They may be doing this because they're uncomfortable with being teased about things that aren't true. Perhaps they just want to be your friend and don't want the little comments bothering you every now and then. It sucks, but it's probably their way of making sure that there won't be any tension between the two of you. Try not to take it to heart. Number eight, they ship you with other people. Do they seem happy or excited to find someone for you? When they do this, it means that they're satisfied with seeing you being romantic with others. If not, they would start displaying signs of jealousy or irritation at the sight of you with someone else. So if they're the one leading the quest of finding you a partner, then it seems like they just want to make you happy as a friend. Then if you find it uncomfortable, it's best to tell them upfront, rather than letting it snowball into a bigger problem for you in the future. Number nine, they ask you for favors. Have you ever had your hopes up because they messaged you only to find out that it was to ask you for a favor? If they're often asking you to pick up something for them, give you the answer for homework or get you to take their shift at work, then chances are they probably only see you as a trustworthy friend and nothing else. Then number 10, they ask you to set them up with other people. Have they ever approached you and told you that your friend was cute and asked if you could set them up together? Once it reaches this point, they most likely have no romantic interest in you and aren't aware that you have feelings for them because if they did, then asking for this kind of favor would be inappropriate and mean.

In 1943, French Morocco, President Roosevelt arrived for the important Casablanca Conference. Prime Minister Churchill and the President were making far-reaching military decisions. With the combined chiefs of staff, they planned global operations.  Remembering how their U-boats in 1917 had brought England to our knees, enemy leaders were proud of their 1943 plans for a network of sub-pens. Dr. Totes engineers now built them with 12-foot concrete tops to make the U-boat nest safe from the Allies' heaviest bombs. The enemy had launched a monstrous U-boat program. 300 by 1942, 900 by 1944. This was to be ruthless undersea warfare, masterminded by Admiral Carl Dunitz. Back in the United States, our new fighters like the P-47s were being shipped to England. Fighter aircraft had become so vital in the war against the Axis, they were given high priorities. Because of the submarine menace, Allied navies escorted all convoys. By torpedoing the freighters, the enemy tried to cut our lend-lease lifeline. Air subs roaming the North Atlantic in the first half of 1942 had sunk 506 Allied ships. Threatened was the security of Great Britain and our build-up for the air war in Europe. Victorious German submarines were organized in wolf packs. Confronted with this desperate emergency, the U.S. Navy called on the army air forces to assist them in the fight. Our long-range depth bomb-carrying B-24s were the answer. The ultimate workhorse of our counter-attack on the U-boats was the radar-equipped liberator. These land-based planes were matched against a sneaking killer, operated almost unimpeded along the vital shipping lanes. Plenty of good hunting, first for them, but after May 1943, for us. Most of us in the first bomber command and later in the 25 squadrons of the anti-submarine command patrolled wide areas ahead of the convoys. On the deck, we searched immense stretches of the Atlantic hunting for Nazi periscopes, whose crash-dialed bombs were clearing the North Atlantic of the Nazi U-boat threat. In those summer months of 1943, the anti-submarine command of the army air forces did a vital job. American fighter planes and badly needed supplies got through. But in the Far East, on another front, supplies were only trickling through. General Arnold and Allied Brass faced the fact that General Chinook's 14th Air Force had to be supplied. Some of his bomber operations had almost ceased. Following Casablanca decisions, Arnold ordered General Bissell, who helped the ATC India China Wing, increase the airlift over the Himalayas. We called it flying the hump. Later over Calcutta, India, we got an idea of how much our sky wagons were slated to carry. There was plenty, tons of food and medicine, tons of gasoline and bombs, shiploads of them every day. Even this was only a fraction of what would come. First, while still created, supplies moved over land by train due north about 800 miles. This was the slow part of the long journey. Then near the border of Tibet, our supplies were parceled out to several airfields, like Chabwa, largest of the hump terminals. Here too, although there was plenty of manpower, the transfer methods were primitive. Until more ordnance equipment arrived, the natives helped fight the war with their bare hands. Some of these bombs weighed half a ton. Over a year of operation by the 10th Air Force, we had grown from a squadron of 10 borrowed transports to a fleet of 140 high-altitude C-46s and 47s. By 1943, hump commander General Edward Alexander began to set records for troops, supplies and equipment being lifted over the hump. Stretching before us were 500 miles of rough duty. Before it was over, the treacherous hump had cost us 250 transports, 250 cargoes, and 800 airmen. A high price to pay for the privilege to fly over the highest mountains in the world flew continuously, some of the time through Jap fighters and treacherous weather. The clouds made pretty pictures, but at 20,000 feet they could mean ice and death. No emergency landing fields among saw-toothed five-mile-high peaks for us aerial truck drivers. Flying without fighter cover, it was always good to hear we were on the beam and minutes from landing had come in China. In December of 1943, the India-China wing carried slightly over 6,000 tons. Before the war's end, ATC had airlifted more than one million tons of supplies and one million troops over the hump. With the help of Army Airways' communication system, flights eventually averaged one plane every minute and a half. Peak airlift was reached in July 1945, 71,000 tons in one month, including a fleet of jeeps. Every four tons of gasoline delivered used three and a half tons to get them there. Despite the hazards and hardships, despite the costs, the Army Air Forces had conquered the hump. In the dismal and dreary Aleutian islands off Alaska, it was a different sort of war. Around us was the deep, spongy tundra of dead grass and muck. Over us, fog, sleet and rain for days on end. In spite of it, our 11th Air Force under General Bruce Butler not only protected Alaska from Jap advance, but also struck offensive blows at the enemy. We had a single fighter group of 100 planes, including P-38s. Our force was built around a handful of pilots experienced in Alaskan flying. Colonel Jack Chinalt, son of the 14th Air Force Commander, led a fighter squadron. Our strength at this time for the entire Alaska Aleutian area was only 226 operational planes, but was with us. On 8 April, the weather cleared and we set out to crush the Nip Thrust at Atu, most distant of the island chain. We also helped the box in Kiska, the second enemy held island, forcing the Japanese to withdraw. But it feels we waded into the enemy, guarding the northern approach to America. In the Pacific, the word went out. General Nathan Twining and his crew were lost on a routine flight. We set up everything that could fly, but the South Pacific had thousands of miles of ocean. Chances of finding the commanding general of the 13th Air Force were slim. Then on the morning of January 31st, five days and six nights after ditching, two rubber rafts were sighted. Now the question was, how many had survived exposure in the Coral Sea? The search plane radioed the base. Immediately, two Navy Catalina flying boats were ordered out to make contact with the search planes, which directed them to the rafts. After being fished out of the drain, the survivors were rushed back to the nearest base where medical aid awaited them. Although cramped for 130 hours in the small rafts with very little food and hardly any water, their morale stayed high, thanks to General Twining. All 15 aboard the Lost B-17 had survived a rugged experience. Twining and his crew were part of a small army of men whose lives had been saved by the Air Sea Rescue Services of the Army and Navy. General Twining rejoined our theater commander, General Millard Harmon, in planning new operations up the Solomon Island chain. We had fresh B-24s, and in July we were able to launch our 37-day campaign to Jap-held Munda Field on New Georgia Island. Some of us had taken off from hard-won Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, which American men had bought and paid for with their lives. The blow we were about to deliver to Munda we hoped would make their sacrifices worthwhile. We were finally nearing the island. As soon as we made our approaches to Munda, jungle-hopping medium bombers went after the Jap-beared Droman and its defenses. 171 aircraft dropped 145 tons of bombs in a half hour. It was the heaviest air bombardment yet cooked up in the South Pacific in one day. By the time resistance had ended, the enemy had lost 350 aircraft. In only nine days, the Allies rushed the strip into operating condition. P-40s were the first to land, followed by heavy bombers which could easily be carried on the coral runways. Warhawks helped protect the bases. We rapidly built it into a key for the Solomon Islands. In a few weeks, traffic exceeded that of any field in the South Pacific, reaching the peak of 564 aircraft in one day. The Munda campaign had shown the success of a new tactic, bypassing heavily defended enemy points and gaining air superiority behind them. General MacArthur described the island-hopping campaign as a series of battles for airfields. In the South Pacific, as elsewhere in all global operations, the Allies had proved the might of air power. Air power had helped clear submarines from the Atlantic. Air power had conquered the hump. Air power had made Pacific island-hopping possible. Later chapters will show these daring tactics applied to smashing the axis itself as more men and weapons were added to the mighty arsenal of the United States Air Force.

I have a Masters of Science in Online Technology and Instructional Design, and I'm also working on a Masters of Education in Lifelong Learning and Adult Education. Both of these degrees have taught me the value of an open communication and learning environment. So with that in mind, feel free to contact me, even if it's just to say hi. I have a lot of hobbies outside of academia including running, walking, hiking, and reading. I also have a daughter, Anna Marie. She was born July 2021 and she keeps life very fun and interesting. I look forward to meeting you in the future and have a great day!


Russian troops used new kamikaze drone Scalpel in Ukraine. In the war against Ukraine, Russian troops have begun using a new kamikaze drone, the Scalpel, according to TAS. The drone was designed by Vostok Design Bureau. We have started low volume production of the Scalpel platform and are currently producing 20 products per month. If necessary, production can be increased significantly. At the moment, a batch of 15 Scalpels have been delivered to the Russian troops, the source said, Scalpel, a Russian single launch unmanned aerial vehicle designed to engage ground targets. The drone is suitable for most ammunition used by Russian troops with a payload weight of 5 kg. The drone has a takeoff weight of up to 10.5 kg, a cruising speed of up to 120 km an hour and a range of up to 40 km. The device can fly for two hours and is launched from a catapult. Russian troops actively use drones. They use mostly Iranian shaheads as well as indigenous developments. Russia uses its kamikaze drone, the Geranium II. A detailed comparison of this drone with the Iranian shahead can be found on the Internet.
