our Q&A miscellany session. Wrap up, even though there's two more sessions after this.  I don't know. Yeah. I think Jeopardy would call it potpourri, right? Which I've always thought would be. You say so? I don't really watch Jeopardy, so. But yeah, basically if you have questions, drop them in Discord and we'll cover them. We have a couple things that make sense to follow up from some of the stuff we did today. Right off the bat, pilot, do you want to mention what you just linked in Discord? And I'll pull that up and share my screen here. Yeah, for sure. So in our previous session, we were talking about the mass mail tools that are available in WSMCS. And I didn't have time to go look for it during the session, but it's not in the migration tools section. It's in our WSMCS in depth section. We do have documentation on how to send mass email blasts. And it covers how to set up a client group. So that's one of the things that we were talking about, but we didn't have time to demo. It covers setting up templates and being able to reload them as you need. And that covers a lot of what we talked about. It doesn't specifically mention the fill-in-the-blanks that we were talking about, but that we showed off a little bit how to use that in the past one. Yeah, and I'll mention here that I pulled up, I have here, and I can share this in the Discord or somehow, but here's an example of what one of those may look like. This is one that was sent by SNC at the end of 2021. I was gonna say I read this one, but this actually may be one of my former coworkers, but this is a good example of using those fill-in-the-blanks. So client first name, which we did. Service domain, which let them display the domain name of the person it was sending to and linked to it. And that was in the product service related section, basically. I wanted to point that out specifically because that's just a really great feature. You may get, it's always surprising to me, but you may get students or faculty or staff who have signed up who literally don't even remember that they did. So being able to mention what it is and link to it, it can be really handy for them, I think. So yeah, I'll copy the text of this and maybe throw it in Discord for reference for folks. And yeah, there it is, if it's useful to anybody. The, I got a couple of other things lined up, but Amanda, is there anything that you wanted to get into before I continue? No, I think I was looking forward to talking a bit about the different kinds of backups that we, that are available. And for folks, we did take one earlier, but here is another. Okay, so we talked about Jet Backup in the common troubleshooting tips section, but we didn't really talk about the, there's another whole backup option in Domain of One Zone that is good to know about. And that's the Installatron backups. And if you're unfamiliar, we show the Jet Backup one, I'm in here in my shared hosting account, but again, this is very similar, not similar, it's exactly the same, this looks the same as what you'll get on Domain of One Zone. So if you go to the C panel of a particular account and then my apps, you will see of course all of the applications they've installed, I've got a couple here, and then you'll see backups that are for each account. So each of these have one backup. You can also click on my backups to see all of them on one screen and download copies of them to save for later or restore them. Super handy feature, the thing though that can get you in trouble is that these backups on Domain of One Zone take up a space in the account. So if you have say a one gigabyte quota for your accounts and someone has like a 600 megabyte, so 60% of the account site and it tries to backup, they're already over quota, right? Cause it's pretty much an exact copy in terms of size. So that can be problematic. So while that is on by default, we do have some admins that want to change those settings for the entire server so that nobody ever has this. In some cases it even makes sense, I think to just disable install Tron backups because we have JetBackup and that really covers pretty much the same use case but does even more than install Tron backups. The thing that's nice about install Tron backups and why we don't disable it is I think it's friendlier for end users who want to restore backups themselves to be able to see that they're stored here right next to where the applications live in their account. Whereas for JetBackup they'll need to know that they need to restore a database and a folder if that's the case. So we do have a, I linked it in Discord but we do have this entire article here on limiting the install Tron backups if you do want to make those kinds of changes. So you would essentially go to your WHM, you would search for install Tron and you can change the quotas. You can say, oh, let's have only one instead of two. Two is the default amount of backups it stores. You can also just turn off the ability to have say permanent backups that never expire. You can even set up different locations for backups. So like I said, by default they're stored in the user's account but if you wanted to you could set up like an S3 bucket for things to get stored into and then that wouldn't take up space in their account. You can also change the quota to have like storage limitations and even just turning off backups entirely via install Tron which like I said is can be a good idea to just not have to worry about that storage concern given that you already have JetBackup. None of these settings will affect your JetBackup schedules. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Okay. We actually are, we've got a few minutes left here but anything else that folks wanna cover that you all wanna cover while we have a couple of minutes before our splots section? Trying to think what to get questions about. Because otherwise I can also kind of talk about a few other maybe troubleshooting things that come up from time to time in Domain of One Zone. We do have another entire article really just about common troubleshooting errors and common troubleshooting fixes for Domain of One Zone specifically. I'm gonna look at this WordPress one first. This article I think is another really good one. Some of it was covered in our session. One of them is just on the idea of hey, you may wanna deactivate all plugins. This one assumes you do have dashboard access or to change your plugins or theme. Another less common thing with something that can happen is that you may have a user that accidentally messes with their HT access file for WordPress. And this is a hidden file by default that tells Apache, the web server, how to handle things with WordPress and basically any PHP application and static sites as well. So this is a really good guide if you ever need to, A, access this file and do anything with it and B, if you need to fix it because maybe the user deleted it or they made a mistake changing it on accident or sometimes if there's a compromised account they may have malware in their account that we will clean up for you but after the fact they may have a broken HT access file. I think in the case of us cleaning up malware we would probably fix the file if there's a particular site affected but sometimes you run into an issue where a few different sites are affected or no one notices until later, things like that. So this is a really good one. You can go in the file manager, you can delete the existing HT access file and create a new one and then you just need to make sure that it has this information at the top. This is what WordPress needs to do its thing. So I think this is a really good option. This also talks about some other things you can do with the WP config file. You can increase the memory limit. Fun fact, the broken plugin that I put together sweet that I was using in our demo I could have actually fixed it this way by just bumping this limit up but I wouldn't have made for a good demo of what I wanted to demo actually but just to note that there are some times where if the user has like a lot of different plugins going on a particularly heavy site you may need to fix this limit. This is a pretty rare, but it's a good thing to know about. And then finally, I'm gonna kind of skip over this WP admin include folders. This is what you call a replacing WordPress core and is pretty rare. I've only had to do this like once or twice but sometimes if they really mess up their WordPress folder you may need to actually replace the core files of WordPress. We do have a article on that as well that you can check out that links from here but I think is more common is issues with the WP config file and that is something where you can fix maybe they've modified the database settings and then you need to fix that. So basically this whole article is a honestly a goldmine I reference this a lot when I'm doing support for institutions or individuals. So it is very thorough and I think definitely worth a look if you wanna look at something yourself but of course you can always reach out to us to get that support as well. Then the other article I mentioned common troubleshooting fixes for domain in one's own. This is another thing that I think is nice to know about it's a little bit more general it's not just WordPress specific but if you have someone who's having trouble logging to their site that they install the installatron you can reset the password of pretty much anything that installatron can install. This is super handy because while installatron gives you that WP-admin link that will log you in for WordPress sites this doesn't work for most other applications. I don't think it works for OMECA actually I'm pretty sure it only works for WordPress. It does only work for WordPress. Okay so for most other types of applications people will need to know their username and password this is where they can reset it. Real common thing good to know about. Another one if you're having an issue where you're getting like an error that someone is being blocked from accessing something that they're hosting that could be in rare cases our bit ninja firewall we use this to help with malicious traffic and things like that but sometimes depending on what's going on there may be a false positive and you can actually whitelist your IP but sometimes you'll actually need to have us do it depending on the setup if that's not working for you so you can always go to ip4.me this will give you your IP address and send that along in a support request if you need to and then finally the good old browser cache. This is so often the issue and so mentioning that you if you're having a weird issue that seems to be browser dependent like you're having a problem you've tried it in another browser and it seems to work over there it's probably a cache thing. We actually have an article on clearing your cache. Clear cache I think. Yeah how to clear browser cache. This is pretty good because it actually goes through and gives you instructions on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera, Brave. I should add Vivaldi but like we're recovering a lot of browsers here and it's like we keep it pretty reasonably up to date. Obviously these things actually change in slight look and feel pretty often but these are. The principles are usually pretty sound. Yeah and I will say like these are all pretty much exactly how it is right at the moment. So like in Firefox the main difference is it's called settings now instead of preferences so you can probably update that screenshot but for the most part this is a pretty good resource and it's kind of weirdly as someone who's done IT support for a while now at various places finding instructions that are out there to send to people on how to clear their browser cache is actually kind of hard to do. There used to be a lot of that you could link to and most of those sites have gone away or like stopped updating their screenshots or are only for like Chrome and Firefox and don't cover like Safari and Brave and like the slightly less popular browsers. So yeah, a really handy one. The other one I wanted to mention that maybe is handy for you the admin is you can also always load a page without a cache by holding the shift key and clicking the refresh button in every major browser will load the page without cached resources. So that's a good one to note too. Yeah, I also wanna add on the topic of clearing your cache that it's possible that sometimes there will be an issue that you troubleshoot in the way that we've already talked about. There's error with WordPress, you can't get in, you fix it in one of the ways that we've talked about before and the user comes to you and says, it still looks wrong to me. It still looks broken, nothing's changed. Have them clear their cache. That's always step one because sometimes it just saves the page with the error for them. Yeah, it's so important because it's really like cleaning your cache is one of those things that's like a tech support meme at this point like turning it off and on again but there's a reason, right? Like it is almost always an important step depending especially when you're dealing with web stuff. So, you know, sometimes preemptively if I know the situation will possibly call for it I'll say, hey, if it's not working for you you may want to clear your cache but if you don't do that it's worth having this ready to go for a response if it's still not working for them because it's really important. I would say this comes up absolutely every single day I do reclaim support. So, it's very, very vital to the process. 100%. Yeah. We are coming up on time now. Do either of you guys have anything you want to add? No, I don't think so. I think we'll call it a session there and see everyone in just over 10 minutes for a splots. Yeah. So, yeah, see everyone then. I'm excited. See y'all there. See you there.


So, I'm glad to present some Earth observation examples today.  And we have a lot of difficult tasks to fulfill, so one thing is that we need to monitor the change, so we need to know what is changing, where is it changing, and how fast. We need to do a risk assessment to better plan mitigation measures, for instance, for heat risk assessment. We need to do a better infrastructure planning to build a livable environment in our cities. We need to better manage natural resources and lots of tasks more, and for all this, we can use Earth observation data. Since only 20% of you are familiar with observation data, I would like to show some data sets that we mainly use in our daily work. So, we use free accessible data from NASA and ESA, like Landsat and Sentinel Copernicus data. They have a big advantage because they are free, and they have a very high timely resolution. We also use, of course, very high resolution data, like aerial photographs or laser scan data. They have lots of advantages too, but they are mostly not free, and have a quite low timely resolution. So, one example that I have brought today is the assessment of lens, lens surface temperature. This is a very important indicator in terms of heat risk assessment and heat adaptation. And here you can see on the left side is the daytime summer temperature based on Landsat thermal infrared data, and on the right side, it's a night assessment of the summer temperature. It's based on modus. So, hopefully in the near future, there will be lots of sensors that will be able to monitor lens surface temperature in a very high temporal and spatial resolution. So, let's wait for that. But what we can already do with the data available, we have a very long archive. So, Landsat is operating since 1985, and we have calculated a simple trend in the development of lens surface temperature in summertime, and here you can see that the spatial resolution is already quite okay. So, this is an example from the city of Leipzig, and the northern red blob is a new car plant from Porsche, and the surface temperature has risen quite a lot in this area, where in the south there are big form mining areas refilled with water. So, against the normal trend of increasing temperature, these parts are a little bit cooling. These data we can use to create heat action plants. So, we can monitor and also have real actual heat action maps. So, this is a very nice application or use case. So, we can also monitor adaptation measures. We can see if the measures that a city undertakes are successful. Another use case, a very important one, is the monitoring of vegetation. So, we have lots of indicators that stand for thermal release. So, we have a canopy cover who provides shading. We have the vegetation height, which is important for green volume monitoring, for carbon sequestration monitoring. And all these indicators are very relevant for cities and climate adaptation, because of course they provide cooling through EVA transpiration. They improve air quality and help in decreasing noise pollution. So, these indicators are very important and will be even more important in the future to use a buzzword. It's a nature-based solution as planting trees. But we need to monitor the amount of trees and the amount of canopy cover, the amount of green volume. This can be done of course with very high resolution data, like aerial photographs and digital surface models. These can be derived from laser scan or from stereo image matching. And we built a model based on artificial intelligence. It's a unit approach. So, we can calculate quite timely and quickly those vegetation indicators. These data we use as a training set to upscale this on Sentinel-1 and 2 time series. Because we want to provide for the whole of Germany, for instance, every year the amount of canopy cover, green volume and also other indicators to be able to really monitor in a standardized way these really relevant climate adaptation measures. We tried this for a use case in one city, Duisburg. And we have very good results in the city of Duisburg. We didn't take into the training data set, so it's a complete external evaluation. And the airborne result is of course of very high quality and the spaceborne result is also really satisfying in our view at least. And we wanted to see if we can do a real monitoring because with every model you have a lot of noise. And the goal is to minimize the noise so that we can monitor real change and not have artificial change. And we were quite satisfied with the first outcomes even though the change in the city between 2018 and 2022 was not that big. So, most of the changes were less than 3%. Still the relationship is quite good and we can see that we can use the data for real monitoring. Here you can also see the airborne results on the left side and the satellite spaceborne results on the right side and you can see that the differences and rankings between the different districts are quite the same. So we will be using these indicators and models to do fine scale, medium scale and large scale monitoring of urban green. But we are also interested in the vitality of the urban green since shading and evapotranspiration and cooling can only be provided if the trees are healthy and what's quite interesting for instance in Sentinel-2 we have lots of spectral bands and those spectral bands provide information about leaf pigments, cell structure and leaf water content and if we combine all this we can derive vitality indicator telling us is the tree still intact or not. And here you can see an example from Potsdam. I don't know, is there a laser pointer? This is the famous castle of Sonsouci and it's a really nice UNESCO World Heritage Park with very old trees planted 200 years ago and many of them suffer quite severely from the drought in the last years and as we can see we can use Sentinel-2 data time series to assess the damages and the changes in the tree cover. We also can combine this with the street tree disaster so we can assess the exact date where a shift has been recorded and you can see that there's permanent damage. Other indicators that we will be incorporating into the overall model will be soil sealing, soil moisture and albedo and all this will go into a big regression model to assess which of the indicators are the most important ones to provide leverage against urban heat. All the indicators will be tested with the city climate model so we can easily change parameters so we can take off all the trees, we can plant more trees so we can have scenarios and test the effect or the amount of effects those indicators have and what's quite interesting for instance is that there is a very high correlation of the surface temperature with the perceived temperature which is really important for the assessment of thermal load for the people. All these indicators will be combined in heat vulnerability model where the exposition and the sensitivity of the population in the city will be incorporated so that urban city planners can assess their measures and plan for scenarios for the future. Our goal was to support municipalities in their climate resilient urban planning and I think I hope I have shown you some useful use cases how you might in the future use Earth observation data for your work hopefully. And for further reading you are invited to visit those websites and we also have a booth.


Whatever we have seen in the previous lectures, it is about the cloud pattern which we will be able to observe it from the satellite pictures followed by what you are able to observe it from your own place, what type of cloud it is, then what is the probability of a rainfall from those clouds and how do you that is one thing which you can do is there are forecast which comes on to you either in the mobile or in any other form and you yourself can experience by seeing the satellite image observing the clouds and what type of forecast it is then you would be able to evaluate what is the accuracy with which you can use it in for your irrigation scheduling that is what we were trying to show you the information which is possible in this part of the world. Now why it is useful is this rainfall if it is high then you are not going to give supplementary irrigation, supplementary irrigation is nothing but extra water which is not from the rain with the cloud then we are going to give it from the ground water. So what is the rainfall and how much is the supplementary irrigation which needs to be given that is the way which we will talk about in the forthcoming slides. Now when you look at it what is the saturation once the rainfall falls what happen is the top layer is saturated that means 100% water is available and at the same time what is happening is the rain water starts moving down and this is the place the root zone is available the root zone is the place where the plants gets from the roots only the plants get the water and it makes the food. So if the saturation is more then it is good if the saturation is dry or it is not sufficient soil moisture is available in that zone that means the plant will get very less water so that it will not be able to make a food out of that. So there is a probability that wilting, wilting is nothing but due to the shortage of moisture or a water content the plants may get withered, withered means then that growth will be hampered. So now that is what we are interested when it rains then water should be available till the root zones are there then only the crop is going to survive otherwise the crop will has to find some reduced amount of water for its activity. So this is the thing which is available what is the plant available water which you need to do that and what is the water application how you can do that these are all certain how much water to irrigate how much water is needed for at a individual time this is the relationship which normally available with every farmer over there. Now the next question is how do you make the monthly rainfall monthly rainfall if you there are crops are grown for 4 months the first month is the seedling second month is the plant growth third month is the vegetation growth fifth face is going to be a maturity and other like that. So in that case this shows that this place of a particular section where the middle month middle month is always during the monsoon season they get the maximum rainfall whereas the rest of the months the like what you see here is going to be less. So initial stages it will be less the during the growth period plant period it is more and afterwards it gets reduced. So this is can be converted into a weekly rainfall requirements now what you see here is the weekly rainfall of a particular rain gauge station assuming the crop seeding is done in the first week of June and it ends somewhere in the October is the end of the week. So now what is done here is the total rainfall amount during the particular week is given in this format. Now this 2.4 or 0 0 means there is no rain 0 0 means no rain suppose if the plant needs water every week every 7th day or 8th day every week it needs that means in this week if there is no supply from the rain there is a need for the water from the supplementary irrigation okay. Similarly when it is more than 20 rainfall pattern what is done here is minimum is 25 millimeters of rainfall is needed over a weekend assuming there is a evaporation there will be a losses so that this plant they are able to grow in a normal way. But now when you look at this particular place the irrigation or a supplementary irrigation is needed except for 3 weeks other days you have to have a water supply with you and this is to show that in this place if you are planning for a particular crop you need to have your own supplementary water source like ground water to the extent otherwise there is not much of support of rain for you to grow things whereas when you look at it there are certain months or certain weeks where this rainfall is more than 100 millimeters during that 100 millimeters of rainfall what is possible is there could be some amount of runoff is possible the soil moisturization will be more it will be able to take care of certain water demands on the adjacent weeks but it needs to be site based not it is not going to be the same universal for everywhere. The irrigation schedule in this case in a rain fed agriculture what is irrigation schedule means when there is no rain that means you have to go for the irrigation that is what it is. In the previous week what we have seen irrigation need to be planned for this entire June to July as well as part of August as well as at the end of October so you have to be prepared and the quantum of water which is needed for the crop that should be assured then only the crop yield will be better in this areas now that is why it is based on weather based the other based is another one is temperature at that area that evaporate and transpiration also takes certain amount of waste that is why if the weather if it is a temperature is more than the losses will be more. Second thing is about the soil moisture based irrigation the soil moisture based irrigation is nothing but how much is the water which is available in the root zone based on that the balance need to be irrigated. Now another thing third one is it is based on the plant base so if there is going to be a water stress and suffering from the water set need to be understood and accordingly we need to give irrigation schedule what is the water the irrigation schedule is based on water and weather conditions for that purpose what is needed is the rain gauge temperature then we need the data logger and all those things can be kept in a particular area and that can be monitored and the water requirement and irrigation schedule can be arranged. So how do you measure is it is about the rain sensors which will tell you about how much the rainfall it has fallen then it is the soil moisture which you have to that is the probe should be there well within the root zone then the wind sensor that will tell you about because how much is the wind speed and because of the high wind speed how much will be the water loss is possible then irrigation submitters are there to quantify the water used for different purposes. Then drip irrigation is a system walls tubes and emitters that will tell you about how much water it will likely to give over there so that water is not lost during the irrigation schedules. Now when you look at it it could be a field wherein you are able to have a precise type of agriculture activities you can be there you need to have rows and things like that and you can have all your sensors and the based on that is the schedule of water or drip irrigation can be controlled or it could be based on the total thematic information base that can be arranged in this way and you can prepare what is the water requirements and water scheduling which you will be able to ascertain in this way. Now it can be if you have a total area then there will be a different type of land uses that is whether it is a plant water use type whether it is more or whether it is less depending upon the plant conditions that can also be done. So now what we have seen in this lecture is how irrigation the rainfall over a period of period there is a if it is going to be irrigation schedule is every 7 days or every 10 days or every 15 days how much the rainfall which it has received during the period what is the water requirement what is the balance what is the deficit of rainfall that rainfall can be substituted by the supplementary irrigation. So for this is how this particular lecture is designed thank you.


It's the Roy Rogers show The cereal treat that's fun to eat brings you Scribed on the double R bar ranch with Pat Grady and the Queen of the West day 11 In person the king of the cowboys Here's my good word for today It's about a honey of a new cereal post sugar crisp and it's my hunch You'll like it just as much as we do out here at the double R bar ranch You see post sugar crisp is just downright good-eaten and it's good so many different ways try it real soon Won't you and now here's our story? Great bounties to Paradise Valley, but her moods are not always kindly Sometimes in late winter she spikes with ice and snow and gusty driving winds Then is a good time to be indoors This is a tough one Roy Telephone lines are down all over the valley. We're lucky. We still got legs. I know sheriff I just hope none of those little communities up in the mountains run out of food It's drifting badly up about a thousand feet and the roads won't be passable for weeks You and Pat really needn't have come in tonight Roy We haven't had enough business to keep the proprietor going let alone a waiter. Why shucks We've got the stock all taken care of them. I wanted to show Roy that no little old sleet storm like this could stop Oh, she got us here all right Pat and I guess triggered and bulleted her just as happy in the stables Yes, but are you sure you can get back the sleets changing to snow? Blizzard from the mountains likely to hit down here before midnight cause a few fellas get stuck I can all of the accommodate you down at the jail. I Wouldn't necessarily lock this out, you know, well if you did mean Roy wouldn't even be bothered If we should have to accept the sheriff's offer Roy remind me to take along a can opener I'm glad this place is open nearly frozen to death.  We'll start you out with some hot soup. Yeah, let me help you get your macadamia mittens off stranger This is a miserable night to be out. Hey mister. You better get your horse to show there's a shed right behind the rest I haven't got a horse came down on foot rather on snowshoes on snowshoes from where I'm from the ledge Ledge why that's 20 miles from here. Yeah, 20 miles and darn near straight up Maybe you slid down. I never mind the jokes fella. I came down to save a man's life, but I guess it's too late now Okay, I'm sorry, mister here try this soup. I haven't got a red scent. Well, that's perfectly all right You just order anything in the house and forget about the check say what's this about being too late to save a man's life? Maybe there's something we can do well if anyone is around the ledge without shelter. It is too late Oh, I named smart Bradshaw a trapper my partner And I set our lines in the ledge country this winter Bart Bradshaw Say didn't you team up with Craigie Stevens? Yeah. Yeah, Craig. He's my partner At least the poor fellow was my partner. Hey Craig He's one of the finest fellows that ever set foot in Paradise Valley. What's happened to him? Well a blizzard broken Craig. He was gone from the cabin and finally I went out looking for him Oh, and that storm must really have been raging up there. It was ma'am. I Finally found Craig. He was caught in a bear trap. Oh, hey never mean things and all was much I could do I I was icy numb my mittens were frozen in my hands Oh, I managed to drag Craigie back to the cabin and then I set out for help what you left him in the cabin with A bear trap on his leg was near crazy from the cold Figured I could maybe get down a civilization faster than I could thaw myself out enough to help Craig Bradshaw you should have headed for the county seat. It's ten miles closer the way you I started for there Then I lost my way in the blizzard And then I remembered Craig he's saying that if anything ever happened to him I should let a fellow named Roy Rogers know he lived around Mineral City somewhere to me Mr. Bradshaw, I'm Roy Rogers, and I might have glad you stumbled in here Pat You and I've got to start the ledge right away. We've got to do something for Craig Rogers it's it's too late. Oh, he was alive when you left wasn't he? Yes, but then Pat and I are going Roy. No not in this blizzard the roads aren't open Roy You did start out on snowshoes and buy some freak of luck you happen to make it How would you get Craigie down? He weighs better than 200 pounds. Look Roy and me know this country very well And we ain't afraid of no little old blizzard. Of course. I never thought about getting him down We'll get him down. All right, we've got skis and poles at the ranch We can fix up some sort of a sled in half an hour and don't forget we've got bullet Who's bullet? He's Roy's big dog and if any dog can handle a load like that he can come on Pat Now LeBella's got to get us back to the ranch now and in a hurry. I don't try it Rogers It'll take you a day to find your way up there and that will be too late There's no reason for one life to cost two more non-nonsense It's maybe 12 or 13 miles from the ranch. Well, we've got compasses and we know where we're hidden Well, we ought to reach Craigie shortly after daybreak. Hey, I'm with you Roy. I'm all bundled up And so am I Nellie bell just better start or she will Oh, Roy and Pat be careful. Good luck fellow. Don't try it man. Don't try it. We've got to Brad Shaw You did the best you could for Craigie and we'll do the best we can There are a couple of first-class fellas, but they haven't got a chance of making it heavy Well, of course they have this and I've never seen Roy and Pat miss on anything They've really set their minds to do if they find Craigie Stevens alive I'll bet they have him in the county seat hospital by noon tomorrow the hospital. Maybe that's where I should go I'm frost bitten.

Yes. I stayed in the little apartment upstairs last night I didn't want to ride buttermilk through that blizzard. Well, I don't blame you My uncle Fred had a saying take a fit night out for man or beast Yeah, and that certainly was what you might call applicable last night a coffee ready yet Yes, I've been up a couple of hours. I didn't sleep very well worried about Roy, huh about Roy And Pat and bullet too. I know they'll be all right, but even just thinking about setting out in that storm last night How soon do you think we'll hear from them? Sheriff? I don't know. They're in a telephone line open anywhere in the valley and of course making the best possible time They they couldn't get that Stevens fella down to the county seat for noon. How about mr. Bradshaw? Did you get him settled comfortably? Sure? He slept on the couch in my office, but I checked in about a half hour ago and the night deputy said Bradshaw woke up and left a daybreak I couldn't figure out that Bradshaw It seemed upset him terribly when Roy and Pat started out for his partner. Yeah, I guess he was just completely Unnerved by what he went through Hey Look at that guy riding down the street He must have important business to be up this early and out in that weather that petto looks vaguely familiar But the right sheriff wait that rider is Bradshaw. Huh? It certainly is the beard the Mackinac on those red mittens. Of course. It's Bradshaw Right. I didn't get a look at his face, but you can spot them mittens even from here But he didn't have a horse. I think the horse belongs to old mr. Fallon Don't you suppose Bradshaw could have got up early and walk clear out the Fallon's and bought himself that pinto I couldn't very well buy it. He said last night. He didn't have a scent and by golly He must have stolen do you remember last night how all of a sudden Bradshaw was terribly anxious to get to the county seat? Listen, something isn't just right here I'll saddle up buttermilk while you get your horse ready and we'll head for that county seat ourselves Well, Dale, it's terrible weather But of course I couldn't let a horse thief get away no matter if I was sheriff of the North Pole. All right Let's get going somehow. I think Bradshaw might be even worse than a horse thief This path that must be the cabin Craigie and Bradshaw were using I just hope we got here in time I sure do too Pat. Well, there's a chance That's a mighty snug little cabinet and look at the way it's set among those big trees was mighty well protected from the blizzard Well, gosh, yes once you get in the shelter here, you can even make out some snowshoe prints Look, there's a faint set of tracks leading up to the big tree It looks like a man fell and was dragged the rest of the way. That's what it looks like Let's get inside Pat. I'll take the horns off a bullet and carry this first aid stuff You pick up some of those big sticks for a far wood. All right, you are Roy Hey, their woodpile was right over there. These logs must have got scattered from it hair bullet.  We'll warm up Craigie Craigie, it's Roy Rogers Hey, there he is Roy land on the bunk. Good. We are in time Craigie We'll get you out of here say Pat loosen his mackerel while I work on this bear trap. You bet Hey, that's how rough old-looking trap. It certainly is snapped him right below the knee You're gonna be all right now Craigie.  He's got a real mean gas in his leg too But I don't think any bones are broken. What'd you say Pat his head? It's really bruised I guess maybe he fell against a rock But it looked almost like he was conked with a club or something but Is that you know Craigie?  I I don't remember the bear trap Don't remember anything except the blizzard and I was almost home and then Everything went black. I'll take it easy Craigie and you can talk later. I'll get the fire going here Patton Get the bandages out. I'm practically ahead of you Roy. I'll be all right. Won't it Roy? Of course you will. I'm glad cuz By tonight going to be rich. Sure. Sure You must have had a real good trap in season. Now you just take it easy Craig Hey, this kindling's nice and dry Now a couple of those big sticks for the fire Pat catch got him Where's party or to go into town and stake a claim stake a claim on what? There's nothing around this country, but fur between you and me It's a fur piece to go to get it too. It is more than fur We've got a whole mountain of Carnotite rock earn a witch rock. Oh Gosh, he's passed out again Roy. Well just as well. He wasn't making sense. He certainly was Pat Carnotite rock is the richest source of uranium ore uranium or what? Uranium you bet and here's something else. It makes sense pretty rotten sense Pat when that Bradshaw fella came in last night. He was wearing bright red mittens, wasn't he? He sure was claimed they were practically frozen on his hands and you picked up this heavy stick of wood right behind the tree Where the print of the body started didn't you yeah, I guess so why there are red woolen threads on it It all ties together now a bruise on craggy's head and everything Roy You mean craggy's partner knocked him over the head Clamp that bear trap on his leg and then left him here to die I think that's exactly what happened Pat And I don't think it took him half as long to come to mental cities He said we're heading down the other side of the slope to the county seat We've got to get there before Bradshaw can stake a claim on this land We'll catch up with Roy in a moment meanwhile listen to handy-dandy and candy the three sugarcrisp bears More appetizing words were never heard sugarcrisp is a honey of a new cereal With a truly different kind of taste sugarcrisp is made of nourishing puffed wheat with a delicious energy rich Sugar and honey coating as a cereal.

I ain't busy. You got all day to file this claim Yes, of course, but oh here here we are. This is the right map. Let's see now That's the ledge territory. All right Now if we can figure out just what section you're talking about All right, Bradshaw. We caught up with you. Yes, you bet. We did. What are you doing in here? It's none of your business lady or yours either sheriff. My business is upholding the law and you're under arrest Oh, yeah, what is all these are arrest?  Oh, no just a minute We happen to recognize that Pinto you were riding he belongs to Jim Fallon in Mineral City He did belong to Fallon, but I bought him this morning. I suppose you got a bill of sale to prove you bet. I have Here it is Wait a minute How did you happen to have the money to buy a fairly expensive horse when last night? You said you couldn't even afford to pay for a meal. I was upset last night upset cold and tired I'm sorry. I'll be glad to pay for what I ate in your place and Now if you don't mind I get on with my business now the claim line will extend this way clerk Have you seen a little darn these spectacles of mine? What kind of a claim are you filing? That's still none of your business, but Well, it's a mineral rights claim say I remember you know I issued a trapping license to you in another fell last fall Whatever happened to him? Stevens is dead Met with a terrible accident now. Let's get this. He met with a terrible accident all right Brad Shaw But he isn't dead. Yeah, you bet he ate. He's right here. I'll just lean on me craggy You'll be all right craggy. No right Pat. You made it. I don't know how you did it Roy But you're here right when I left you you're I don't know just what happened to me part But I'm glad to see you're down here filing our claim. Yeah. Yeah, of course crag. Yeah, I'm filing our claim All right. Oh, this to be a joint rights claim I thought this was a single ownership mr. Bradshaw now in that case You will have to fill out a different form Bradshaw isn't filling out any forms today Except maybe to sign the blotter at the jail. Oh, no, you don't Rogers your hands will go near those guns Bradshaw because I guess we'll have to clerk but it won't last very long. Hey, let me have a crack at him. Never mind Pat I'll handle it. I don't don't that's my partner, but he was your partner craggy Yeah, he was your partner, but you can do better without half-looking Roy. What's this all about? We thought Bradshaw was a horse thief and we followed him here, but he cleared himself on that count Yeah, it was just fine a mineral rights claim. He was taking a claim to thousands and thousands of dollars worth of uranium or Sure him and craggy found some Carnal witch of more other something or other rocks and this muzzler tried to do craggy in and steal it all for himself He had quite a plan worked out But he didn't time it quite right and he left too many clues behind Roy I guess I'm beginning to understand now, you know when that Bradshaw fellow walked in last night He didn't look quite right to me. I couldn't quite figure him out Well, you're gonna have plenty of time to figure him out now Looks like he'll be your guest for quite some time to come Yes, only he won't be sleeping on your private couch, and he certainly won't be taking his meals in the Eureka cafe Hey, we've got a friend outside. I've heard they feed those Laskin sled dogs on frozen fish, but I think bullet earned himself a steak. You know I could eat a little something myself Just one thing before we close this is Boy Scout week and on their 43rd birthday I want to congratulate the Boy Scouts of America on the wonderful job.

Welcome, new recruits, and welcome to the SCP Foundation. My name is Agent Steven Osbrin, and I will be your instructor for the series of lectures about the SCP Foundation and its functions. We will begin with an introduction from the Administrator. Mankind in its present state has only been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance. So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? We huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that we didn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up. It was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men and rocks that came to life. So we called them gods and demons, begged them to spare us, and prayed for salvation. In time, their numbers dwindled and ours rose. The world began to make more sense when there were fewer things to fear, yet the unexplained can never truly go away, as if the universe demands the absurd and impossible. Mankind must not go back to hiding in fear. No one else will protect us, and we must stand up for ourselves. While the rest of mankind dwells in the light, we must stand in the darkness to fight it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane and normal world. We secure, we contain, we protect, the Administrator. Mission statement, operating clandestine and worldwide, the Foundation operates beyond jurisdiction, empowered and entrusted by every major national government with the task of containing anomalous objects, entities, and phenomena. These anomalies pose a significant threat to global security, by threatening either physical or psychological harm. The Foundation operates to maintain normalcy, so that the worldwide civilian population can live and go on with their daily lives without fear, mistrust, or doubt in their personal beliefs, and to maintain human independence from extraterrestrial, extra-dimensional, and other extra-normal influence. Our mission is threefold. Secure The Foundation secures anomalies with the goal of preventing them from falling into the hands of civilian or rival agencies, through extensive observation and surveillance, and by acting to intercept such anomalies at the earliest opportunity. Contain The Foundation contains anomalies with the goal of preventing their influence or effects from spreading, by either relocating, concealing, or dismantling such anomalies, or by suppressing or preventing public dissemination of knowledge thereof. Protect The Foundation protects humanity from the effects of such anomalies, as well as the anomalies themselves until such time they are either fully understood or new theories of science can be devised based on their properties and behavior. The Foundation may also neutralize or destroy anomalies as an option of last resort, if they are determined to be too dangerous to be contained. Foundation Operations Foundation COBER and clandestine operations are undertaken across the globe, in pursuit of our primary missions. Special Containment Procedures The Foundation maintains an extensive database of information regarding anomalies requiring special containment procedures, commonly referred to as SCPs. The Primary Foundation database contains summaries of such anomalies and emergency procedures for maintaining or re-establishing safe containment in the case of a containment breach or other event. Anomalies may take many forms, be it an object, an entity, a location, or a freestanding phenomenon. These anomalies are categorized into one of several object classes and are either contained at one of the Foundation's Married and Secured facilities, or contained on site of relocation as deemed unfeasible. Operational Security The Foundation operates with the utmost secrecy. All Foundation personnel must observe the security clearance levels, as well as need to know and compartmentalization of information. Personnel found in violation of Foundation security protocols will be identified, detained, and subject to disciplinary action. Rival Agencies and Groups of Interest The Foundation is not the only organization with knowledge of and capability to interact with or utilize anomalies. While some of these groups of interest have similar goals and may cooperate with and issue to global security, many more are opportunistic and profit-oriented, seeking to adapt or use anomalies to their own ends. Foundation personnel are instructed to treat individuals from such groups with suspicion at all times, and collaboration with such groups without the explicit prior consent of Foundation leadership will be cause for termination or other disciplinary action.
