Adam Awestad Gavna Umar of Fintiri has formally agreed to declare a call by groups and originations to vie for the governorship ticket of the People's Democratic Party, the PDP, to enable him to seek re-election for a second term. Over 40 non-governmental groups had last week purchased and presented denomination forms to the governor of the government house. The close to be correspondent in Yola Ibrahim Abu Bakr has the report presented in our studio. Umar of Fintiri shortly after the inauguration of the newly elected chairman of all the 21 local government area councils in the state said that it is no longer news that denomination forms for the Adamawa-Gubanitoria race of the People's Democratic Party have been peaked for him, having done so much for the people. It is no longer news that denomination forms for the Adamawa-Gubanitoria race of the People's Democratic Party have been peaked for me, because we have done so much and it is more to be done to better the love of our people and our guests than because we have built a trusty relationship between the electorates, majority of whom are the masses, where our support is died because our party needs to continue on the part of victory after a very wide consultation within our great party and outside of it, within the state and outside of it with my family, friends, sisters and leaders, I wish informed, informed youths are accepted once again to send for the endorsement of our great party, the PDP, to carry its flag in 2020. In the same vein, former governor of the state, Umar Ujibri-La Bindo, has also formally declared his intentions to vey for the governorship ticket of the All Progressive Congress, APC in the state.


Well, my apologies, I learned in public speaking you never should have opened any remarks with an apology but I got a phone call and I'm not used to those and I held me up a little bit. Well, first I want to welcome your President Bob Georgine and all of you, the members of the building and construction trades, to the White House today. For the past two years I've been a guest at your annual convention so I'm especially glad that I have the opportunity to welcome you here as my guest. And for me and I'm sure for you, whether you've been here before or visiting for the first time, it's still a thrill to walk these halls and where Jefferson and Lincoln, Roosevelt walked and pondered on what was best for our country and there's more than the facts of history in this house. I think the house is a kind of a focal point for the American saga of our national heart breaks and our national triumphs. It's a symbol of the dreams and the hopes that have inspired the American experience. And because we're just the current tenants, Nancy and I are fully aware that there is no one with a greater claim to this house than the people like yourselves who with your hands and hearts have built America and go on building her. You have political power too. In fact, whenever the word goes out that a President or some other political figure is going to speak to you, believe me, there's a lot of advice from all the smart operators in town about what to say. Mentioning the improvement of the economy was at the top of the list given me so you can see that the advice isn't always bad. I agree it's important to remember that this administration inherited inflation at 12.4%. Prime interest rates at 21.5%, growing business failures, increasing unemployment and federal spending and taxing that we're heading right through the roof. As I warned the first day that I spent here, it hasn't been easy to get ourselves out of this mess. But now we are turning things around. Inflation is down from 12.4% in 1980 to less than 4%. In 1982, and for the last six months, it's been running at a rate of four-tenths of 1%. Prime interest rates have come down 11 percentage points. Housing starts and permits in the first quarter this year at the highest level since the third quarter of 1979. Prices for March are 75% higher than at the same time last year. Sales of existing homes are 24.1% higher and sales of new homes are 48.8% higher than in February of last year. Even in the employment area, which has traditionally been the lagging indicator when you're coming out of a recession, there have been dramatic improvements. The private sector, encouraged by I think some of our initiatives to improve productivity and growth, is leading away. Industrial production rose 1.1% in March. It's already 3.1% above its November low. And payroll employment is up 290,000 since December. That still leaves us with a long way to go. Of course, the job retraining bill and the highway construction bill, I think, will help that unemployment picture. But I believe we've created a climate where American businesses can not only recover but sustain the recovery for many years. And as Samuel Gompers, the first president of the American Federation of Labor, put it, the worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit. All of this isn't just good news for you and me, it's good news for the whole country. And I guess it's smart politics to talk about all of these things with you. But you know it always puzzles me that the professional advice givers in this city frequently miss the most important point of all about you. Your interest in economic matters is only a reflection of a much deeper interest in the kind of lives that your children will someday have in the drama of the American dream itself. So I wanted to say just a few words today, not about budgets or taxes, but about something even more important. So let's talk for a few minutes about this much-loved country of ours. Let's talk about America. I know it's a pretty important subject to those of you in the building and construction trades. After all, who can ever forget those patriotic marches through Wall Street or the flags that still hang from half-built skyscrapers and cities around our country? Just think back to the days of the invasion of Afghanistan, of the hostages in Iran, of a critical new threat to our mid-east oil supply, to the failure to respond to Soviet adventurism in Africa and Central America, to the insults and diatribes from petty dictators and merciless totalitarians. Think back to the days of national malaise when we were told the American dream was over, that we had to withdraw and retreat and lower our expectations and tell our children not to dream as we once had dreamed. And together, and I really mean together, we've changed all that. We've begun the process of rebuilding our nation's defenses. We need your support to continue that vital project. But not only do foreign nations respect us again, we've been able to pursue arms negotiations aggressively while reminding the world of the crucial distinction between democracy and totalitarianism. There's a feeling at home to a growing belief that we're on the road back and that America is the leader again and that we're cutting back on governmental burdens while we prepare the way for an era of prosperity. You feeling that once again the nation must keep alive and hold in sacred trust mankind's age-old dream of peace and freedom and a better life for our children. Others of you in the construction and building trades can take a special pride in your contribution. During the past few years you've been particularly hard hit by recession and economic hardship. And if you think I've got a frog in my throat I have, but I've been told that the pollen is very bad and I have hay fever. You didn't lose faith. You kept that optimism about the future that's been the trademark of America and especially her working people. I've always felt there was a special destiny marked out for this nation. Here it is between the two oceans. It had a weight to be found by people from every corner of the world. I've always believed that whether we like it or not, history has called America to great things. We must never forget to the Polish workers of solidarity, to the brutalized people of Southeast Asia, to the aspiring people of Central America, to all who yearn to be free. We are the greatest symbol of hope in the entire world. We've kept the American dream alive despite all the terrible problems that we've had to face. With your help we've come a long way. All of us feel better about America. All of us can see a brighter future for this young and confident land. Why shouldn't that be so? Just the other day in meeting with heads of state that have come here from other lands just a few of them in the last couple of weeks and all of them have without any self-consciousness spoken out that we are the nation that can lead the world out of the recession that it's in. It must be us that they can't do it unless we take that lead. Well, as I said in the day of my inaugural, we have every right to dream heroic dreams, to believe in ourselves, in our capacity to perform great deeds, to believe that together with God's help we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us. And why shouldn't we believe that? We're Americans. In saying that, I think you've said, I've said enough. And that's all we need to know, and we'll do what has to be done. And again, I don't know of anything that's made me happier than to see your particular end of industry and the business in this country out there really in front now in the comeback that's being made.


Hey guys, it's MJ the Student's Actory and I wanted to make a video on the stock market So if any of you guys are thinking of playing in the stock market, then you've come to the right place I mean the joys of the stock market. It's a place where your choices can make you a lot of money I mean most people studying finance You know their goal is to be the next Warren Buffett and become one of the richest men in the world and And I mean why why work hard building your own company when you can select a few promising stocks and relax or the money just pours in But if this is your thinking Then stop. Let's just take a step back because I'm sorry to say, but it's not that easy Before we continue talking about stocks, I just want to share with you a famous fable about a swallow The the fable goes As follows there was a man who who loved to spend and it was the start of spring So it was still very cold, but he had a nice warm coat Anyway, he sees a single swallow flying into his town and he's like well Oh my gosh summer has come early, so he goes out and he sells his coat and he spends the money straight away Only to find out later that the swallow has died from the cold and Without his coat and with no money to buy one back he to froze the lesson being That one swallow doesn't equal summer Now what does this fable have to do with finance and the stock market? Well everything The average person watching this video is most likely a university student you know studying some sort of financial degree and I mean this is an amazing time of your life as you're learning a whole bunch of new things and you're sharing your ideas with your peers I mean, it's great and I'm sure some of you have probably thought Hey guys, why don't we start investing in the stock market?   You've learned so many formulas I mean, you know about economics and how the world works. I Mean, I'm sure you guys are probably even thinking about like how you're gonna be spending all your new riches I mean, how hard could it be? I mean oil prices are dropping the simple short petroleum companies You know easy money a newspaper publishes a story, you know The market is definitely gonna react in this sort of way or oh interest rates are increasing Surely I must buy into a financial firm or oh look look at this pretty graph It's a definite indicator to buy into this asset class now If that's your thinking wait, just just just wait remember One swallow doesn't equal summer Well, let's check it out that oil company They might have used financial instruments to distance its sensitivity to oil price shocks that new story Well, it could just be a rumor that Financial firm. Well, it might be under investigation by the regulators and you've just overpaid for the price of that share Or the graph pattern breaks down and isn't as predictive as you thought You know, you can end up losing a lot of money very quickly on the stock market you know trading is a full-time job and If you're going in at varsity, you're competing with millions of professionals We've had years of experience behind them and I just want to show you something known as the Dunning Kruger effect and What this graph is saying is our Confidence increases with just a little bit of knowledge as we learn more We realize we're not that smart and it goes down until we become an expert when our confidence rises again Right now in university or if you just come out you're to the left of this graph This is this is also where I am at at the moment Okay, we have a little bit of knowledge and we think we understand the market, you know we are so overconfident about our abilities and Trading on the stock market is not easy. So please don't don't fool yourself And so the wisdom or the pearl of wisdom that I want to share with you guys is That just like how one swallow doesn't mean it's summer one indicator doesn't predict the market So go out there. I mean read as many books as you can on the market But remember to look at a company holistic lead before you invest just because oil prices went down Doesn't mean all the petroleum stocks are going to decrease. Okay, don't be overconfident like that Do your homework look at their financials see what they you know what their hedging strategies are Look at their risk management, you know, just just engage yourself with with the company and look at everything You know, make sure you've thought of all the indicators before you make your move And y'all that's that's about it I mean, I hope you guys enjoyed the video But if you are keen to play the stock market and you do want to have the best education You know to equip you for this task Then maybe you should consider studying actuarial science now a link should be appearing somewhere on the screen Which will take you to my other video which explains what actually an actuary is Check it out Because it is one of the professions along with accountants and CFA's that really just trains your mind for looking at multiple Indicators and making sure that you do Make lots and lots of money on the stock market and that you don't just lose it all But y'all this will have time for thanks so much guys for watching. Cheers

Welcome to Toffy TV, I am here with one of Everton's greatest ever strike partnerships. when you and oversee and I got injured trying to protect achieved right and I got myself injured trying to kick something dead I was kicking out yw tu without doubts when I sat on the bench for 13 years watching you too you were the best The country by a million miles I am a million milesonae Te stannig they were great and when they talk about Geegan and Tosha, she's a little Yatures Ysgrif Yee Diolch o gyflau'r arfer Er because he's got the coverage he gave him the wake-up with you and then she's got lights on and it's like that, isn't it? Yeah listen, we were a young team. We needed some guidance, I think Gary Stevens, myself, Trevor, and she were young players who were like that experience. And I think Howard decided to bring in Pandee, to bring in Peter Reed as well, and they gave us the experience and they came in and they started to the restroom. We needed a little bit of leadership as a team, but these two came in and obviously where our experience prospective pros had their added to it, not just on the field, but off the field as well, and brought everybody together. We got into this mentality about how important is winning games and how vulnerableEm ac yn llawer i'r gweithliadau ei wneud ei wneud ei chael i wneud oherwydd yn adeiladau i'r hyn o'r iawn. Yn y ffitrwch, mae'n edrych yn fathau i gael i'r gwendig fathau oherwydd yn adeiladau i'r gwneudol. Wyth i dosnod o mwybol arni? Felly eu cyfr登 oedd yn ei wneud hawt yn gaf i fynd yw'r ysgrifennu o'n ôl. I had a really good career, I had won lots of things, I had done lots of things, but I had a couple of years of wolves where the weight had gone down, come back up, it looked like we were going down again, wolves were in trouble, they were going into, they were becoming insolved, they were going into the administration. So I'm kind of thinking, I was only, I say it was only, I was 28, so I kind of thought maybe that's it for me. I really, really could see no future path that was going to take me to where we ended up. So when I heard that Everton were interested and wanted to take me up there, I thought goodness me, this was just too good a chance to turn down for me. So I mean, and as much as I might have invigorated some of the guys that Everton, going to Everton was like giving me a new life, it was like someone just pumped all this fresh air into my body and gave me a platform to go and enjoy football again, which I hadn't done for quite some time. When you join Everton, as you'll know, because he's one of them, they're renowned for their number 9s, you know, from Dixie to Graham, there's a host of them, the Joe Royal, you know, Bob Lachford. You join Everton, you know about these things, and I joined as a 9, and I thought this is the kind of club that appreciates set performance in the way that a lot of clubs do it. Newcastle is probably another club that does, you can share it with Michael McDonald and people like that before the number 9. There's a few clubs in, you know, they have a number, and it sticks with them, and Everton's was number 9, it was always number 9. They always had a great 9 somewhere, and I thought it was a great chance for me, and it gave me a new life. And these young boys gave me a, like a, like a second life to jump in again. We gave you nice and pain in the legs to be used to do the run. No, you never! See, that's rubbish, because you see, whereas I used to protect Sharpie all the time, and say, you stay up front sharp, every time we could see to the corner, I'll run back 100 yards, and then I'll run back up 100 yards. You should keep yourself fresh up there so you can get 30 goals a season. Yeah. So it was noticeable when I left, and you had to go back to that record, and Lenica stayed up front. That's true.  Correct. Yeah, you go. Off we go. What did you find when you came into that session? Because, like I was saying to Graham, we had some moments, we had some towel coming where, at times, we were brilliant, and then we couldn't seem to get any momentum going, and as Graham rightly said, we were a young side.  Or is it about you just trying to feed yourself? No, no, the side is definitely better than what we showed. I can remember when you talked about the Coventry game, when you played it. It was a cup tie. A cup tie. I remember we played Coventry again in the league match. Do you remember? Soon after I joined, and it was a nil-nil. It was a terrible game. It was horrible. Hardly anyone on the ground. It was a dreadful game. I remember the whistle going, the nil-nil, and the birds ringing round. The cushions. So I never walked off that pitch then thinking, this is a great side. No. But there were signs. And a fearlessly how it worked. There were signs that he had to do things. He played Jim Arnold one day, Neville in the next game. Jim won game, Neville in the next game. He eventually had to make quite big decisions about certain players. Mark Higgins. Higgins was injured without. He had to make the decision. Sorry, it's going to be Ratson, it's going to be a Mountfield. It's going to be Neville and Gold. That's going to be my trio at the bank. These were big decisions he made. And you know, Reedy coming in and staying in permanently. Me coming in and playing with Graham. And having the belief that we were going to be all right. I'm going to play Sheedy. I'm going to play Trevor Stephen.  Stay there. And people like Andy King were missing out. Terry Curran. We'd all contributed. Like Harco and Mitchell. You know, we're only going to have to put up with being in and out the team. So I think come about December.    And I remember we had a meeting. And I would come in and I'm convinced it was that game. And he just said to us, right. He said, this is the team. It's you boys again. He said, I believe in you. But if it doesn't happen. I'm seriously going to have to change it. And we bet and beat them 2-0. I think. That's a bad drill. 2-0. Correct. We've got a lot of street goals. I was injured. That was a down time. And that's why Howard had said you can have one more chance. And then I think we beat Burn me up 2-0 away. We went to Stoke. The next week we went to FA Cup. The FA Cup was Monday I think. And we went to Stoke on Saturday. So there was those games. And people always talk about Oxford. People always talk about Oxford though. It's been a turning point. I believe it was that Christmas New Year period. I really do. A few weeks ago when he said Ben, he was interested in it. Burn me in for me. Followed by Stoke. When Howard opened the windows. Just let noise in. That was the first one as well. I'll never. I'll never. I did something. I did so. Those two games for me. Turned it. Because from that Stoke game. I think we had lost the game the rest of the season. It was right there. There you go. So when people talk about our great season. It wasn't just that. It was like from January 2004. Right through to when you won the title. That's true. That's true. It's me. It's me. It's me. I'm getting carried away again. From January 84. Right through to when you won the title. For the second time. In 87. So right through to that. That was like a two and a half year spell. Where no one could touch ever. Really. No one could touch ever. Which makes it all the more tragic. That we'd never got the chance to compete in the European Cup. As it was then. Because I really do think we'd have won it. I think we were good enough to win that trophy. And it would have been nice to have a chance at it. You couldn't play in the league. No. You could have just checked that out. But obviously I didn't mean to go. Getting to the finals. Didn't mean that we had off with the way. Because you just mentioned it. She doesn't need to be battered in the form. When you play in the fillet. Was a tough one wasn't it. Terminities in me. Don't touch me. Because we had broken and all that.  Because I think we were actually brilliant. I thought I won it. Actually I won it. They had the contentious again. Breath Green was Robinson. Ah, yeah. I remember him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it gave us anything. So, I think getting to the final was a big thing for the players anyway. You know, the first final. And then the disappointment of losing the replay of main road. Striking as soon as the great striker. You just didn't play as well. No. I just think that was the first. Well, maybe most of us, if not all, first visit to Wendell. It was nice. Yeah, yeah. So, all the way up for that as well. It's incredible. You've seen all the booties at the pass cut finals. So, we went there to enjoy it. We did. The replay was a little bit of a damsel quiver. We lost the kind of thing. That for me gave us the belief that there'd been a bit of an answer. But it didn't. There'd be a cut now. It was the reason why we can't get, you know, as far as possible, back to Wendell. We all wanted to go back to Wendell. And obviously, Anthony was cut tied, could play in the lead cut. So, we were still in the FA cup. You know, and that just gave us that. And said, we can still do that. And we just said December, and I was just saying, the belief was coming in at the side. We talked about Andy and Rudy coming in, and winning games, breathing more confidence. And we just won a little role. You know, we're just in a little role. And even though we got beat and cut a roller-sleeves up, go again, then you'll get to the FA cup final, 8-4 was brilliant. But I just said the semi-final and then she scored. You have to talk about North County. We've got to do well, he's sat here. North County. I see the goal again the other day. Jaffe wanted to swim back, but obviously. No, another one in the midway. Ritchie Oaks got up first. I took the set up under the ball. Did you? You never took a fan out of it. I didn't manufacture something. What were you thinking? No idea. I've no idea. I've no idea. He didn't trust his right foot. I think it was a bit of that. It was a bit of that. That was a tough time to score North County. They were good. They were decent. They scored first. Yeah, Ritchie scored the equaliser. And then we got the second half. I don't know what happened. I remember it coming over. Sheads again floated one in from the left. Just that kind of outswinger that's horrible on to deal with. And I think as it came over you, I don't know whether I kind of must have misjudged it.  Well as it was coming I think I made my mind up I was going to hit it. But then when it dipped a bit, I'd already made my mind up I was going to hit it. So I never thought to change my mind to try and kick it. And I just thought, I'll just dive at this. And seriously I have no idea why I did it. When I see it, if I had been commentating on that today, these days I'd have gone, what the hell is he doing? What is he doing? What does that fool think he's doing? Trying to dive and hit a ball. It's just like a half for it. It's just kind of bounced. And as it bounced I got a perfect touch on it. Did you see it going in? Yeah, I could see it as soon as I headed it. I could see it going past the volley. And I knew it was in as soon as I headed it. But I got up and brought it away. I'm thinking, it's only later. And I think so. What did I do? What did I do? Why did I do it? And not only that. How did I do it?  I bet you couldn't do it. No chance. I've never seen you do it again. So it was important. Put it on the decent side then. Put it on the decent side. I don't see it. Then they have to play Brian Kilpan as well. Kill a player by. Kill a player by. Kill a player by. They were on the decent side. They were on the decent side. Away from home was the topic. That was a team. What you saw that day was what we had become. We had become a really hard team to beat. Which was hugely important. That was more important than anything. And when you add to that, being a hard team to beat. And when you had a quartet of players, and I mean this, I know Richel played that day and played probably, as I've said, he was a terrific asset. But when you had Trevor Steeve and Shady, Sharpen and Gray, as a quartet of attacking players, and you had Reedy and Brace, no, Brace wasn't there. Reedy and Richel, how would it have been that day? Brace didn't come to me in that season, did he? So it was Reedy and Brace, Reedy and R4, and Richel playing in there. And then she played midfield. And she played midfield. Right side midfield at times. When you had them, and the goalkeeper, who was the best in the world, you kind of had the right mix. You kind of had the mix. And then what they had very quickly was the mentality. Suddenly came to them about what it meant to win. And I think that's one of the most important things. Winning, people say that the Olympic motto is not the winning, it's the taking part. I never bought that. I never bought it, and I never will buy it. For me, it's the winning, not the taking part, the matters life. And what these guys got was, very quickly was, they liked winning. They began enjoying it. They began every weekend going out and thinking, I'm going to have a good weekend. Why? Because we've just won again. That's what they became. And they were brilliant. I have to say every one of them. And I can look right through team Gary, Kevin Rats, Derek, Bales, Sharpie, Enshay, Kevin Rich, Sheeds, Trevor Steven. They all enjoyed winning football matches. They all enjoyed it. And suddenly they thought, I like this. This is better than getting beat. What it is. And it was. And it was. Well, when you, so suppose, we move forward to Wimbledig to the epic of Farnland, to Saffaiburton, to build up on everything else. That goes on the shenanigans and Freddie Starr and all of that. But that dig home to Wimbledig to the best fans it was like. And now you can never, you can never take it to. But what I mean is that they mean to start that momentum. Did you believe that was playing for them? Yeah, listen, we knew it was going to be tough because they were a decent side as well. You know, we played when they first came up in the first division. I remember playing down there, they broke the game this season. I think it was 83 or something. We got weak. Yeah, Dave Johnson played up front alongside me. So we knew they were a decent side more as Johnson, John Barnes. You know, the two wingers, Calegir, Jorgen. So we knew it was a turkey, but we knew if we played to a potential, we would win. But seeing that, we were fortunate because they started the better. You know, they were a couple of half chances. Fans who missed a great chance were ahead of them. I think they were a lot of chances. So going into it, and again, I think the experience that was their first cup final for those players as well, but I think the experience we had in the league cup helped us. But once we got the first goal, I think at the end, they ain't coming back into this. We just kind of grew into the game and Trevor gave the young left back it. Torrid time, yeah, he did. He did. But what about your goal?  That was a shot. It's amazing Gary's been involved in a couple of goals. I can remember. But no, listen, I've grown up as a kid in Scotland. It was all about cup finals. We'd watch the Scottish Cup final, then we'd go straight down, get the highlights in English cup final, the English Cup final, all was said. An ex-register, and all that pomp and the ceremony and everything else. It wasn't just Rangers and Celtic in here every year. So it was that piece about the FEC Cup in the history. For me to go to score the first goal was brilliant, because we paid for that watching it. They took as much enjoyment out of that as well. So I think to score an FEC Cup final would be on my dreams, kind of thing to do, to actually do it. I think, wow. So as I say, Gary Shortball came to me and my first touch was good. It was a case of just concentrating and trying to hit the target and surprised me that. We did it, yeah. He should be surprised, yeah. Not as much as I've been surprised by your segment. It's not a joke, by the way. VIR, would it stand now and do it? Yeah, I've hit it percent. I've touched it. Listen, I'd defy anyone to look at it and say that I made coins after the goal that I did. Hadn't the ball. I just hit to the ball on his arm. So it was, what a total control of it. I've no idea, but I didn't care. I didn't care, anyway. I mean, listen, I'd felt that day and these boys were so confident pre-Cup final and everything they said will beat them, will beat them easier, were better than them. They were right, but I was kind of had my old head on and I'm saying, nah, this is going to be a tough game. This is going to be the other one. Nah, we'll beat them this season. We'll beat them, and I knew we'd get it. And on the day, if they'd have got one, if they'd have got two, we'd have got three. If they'd have got three, we'd have got four. We were that much better than them. So, I think the second one just, it kind of gave us a little bit of a marine space. And as soon as it did go in, you looked around, what for them, you look at the footage, they've gone then. They knew they weren't going to get two. The best goal came on the wall to beat twice in like 20 minutes, no chance. No chance. And that's when you get through one of the best offences in the world in 20 minutes. You get through them twice. You're doing really well. So, I think we knew, as soon as that went in, the second one went in, the game was over. It was done and dusted. We didn't have to play really well after that. We just saw the game out. I guess they call it game management. We just managed the game perfectly for the cup final. Saw it out. And I kind of knew, I kind of had a feeling that that was going to be the start was something special. I kind of had a feeling. These boys probably didn't because they were just young and in the moment. When I was older and thinking a bit more about what was happening. I kind of thought, this could be, this could be the start was something special. I didn't believe it was going to be as special. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I thought it could be something special. Because when you've got back to these reasons, right, and you've won the cup and you've been the seventh in the league, go on. And then we've played best. All major brands are available. We've played best, best, right. And we take the lead out of these panels. We go into that first game. Clive Allen Hattrick with it. Yeah. Thinking, yeah, we've got a good chance of winning the league. And we have got a good chance of winning the league. Well, when was your issue then? Yeah. I thought we'd be good chance of looking forward to it and then to get battered for when the woman thought, wow, bring us back down here. Then the next game we did, when they'd be... West Bram away 2-0. Lost 2-0 in midweek. 2-1 midweek. 2-1 midweek. Yeah. Then we have to wait to check CLA on Friday. So, no, from being up here from winning the league, put on a certain season starts off poorly, we think, wow, reality check here, what's going to happen. Well, all kids, the players again, it was a case of knocking down. And I think in that time as well, we had the transition of calling Harry, having to go coaching for the first time. I mean, a lot of the younger players had grown up we call and got most respect for them. I think in moving up, you know, and that was no disrespect to Mick Keating, who was still involved. But calling just gave us that chance to help. More hands on, it became more hands on. But I remember how we're coming to, we went to Stafford Bridge, a third game, and we had, you know, six goals conceded, two-four, two defeats. And I remember them coming in and saying, I don't care about the result tonight, he said, but I want a clean sheet. That's what I want. He said, I don't want us to concede a goal. And that was all he asked. He said, I don't want anything else if we score, we score. But I don't want us to concede. I want nil. Right? And in Richard's Court, we won one nil. Richard's Court, I didn't play that either. Richard played Friday night last night. Friday night live game when a few live games, correct? And it suddenly just went from there. And we got the nil, we got the clean sheet that Howard did that for. We nicked out the goal and from nowhere, really, the goal came from nowhere. And all of a sudden, bang, off they went, him and Sharpie and Enchie started blitzing everybody in sight. That first two or three months of the season, no one could contain them. And we were just, it was like a, I mean, I watched it. So, it was just, sitting there thinking, no one's going to, no one's going to be odd. You know, hammering Manchester United five in Cudyson. We beat Liverpool, but United five, maybe United the league, both three days. United twice. I think the thing is, as you go on, as Andy says, as you go on, in the pick up results, you get that feeling that, as he said before, if you go one nil down, a panic, we'll see it out, we'll get back in the game, we'll get back one one if we win the game. So there was never a panic about this.  I remember one game, I always say this, when Sheffield wins the league, when we were going for the Tertlund, when we just had the win at Liverpool and everything else, and with that going for Tertlund pressure comes on, but Howard was great in developing the pressure, and it was just a case of just going enjoying, doing what you're doing and you know, the results will come. And we got off with the bus at Sheffield wins, I'll never forget it. I remember, obviously Howard and Colin in the front, and they walked off. They were out first and they were down.  We are not leaving here without something, so we're going to get something from this game. We were out used to go to win one-nil. Did I say that? Yeah, you said that in the bus, so you come off.  And you think, that's just what the determination we had. We're going to lose this, and we're not going to give it up. And as I said, another one I set up for you bobbled it in. He did set it up for you. Yeah, I bobbled it in. It's the best mistake I've ever had. Again, we walk away from there with another three points and what we've perceived is a difficult game because of the way they played. Yeah, yeah.  Yeah, it's just amazing. But I remember just saying, just before that, when we went to Spers, I remember just saying to you, because then, Matthew did I all, wherever he'd done it, and he's gone again. Matt Tyler, it was ITV, ITV followed us. It's a great piece. He's looking at it. It's a great piece. Well, you should have. It was only a bit. I'm David, Nick and Nick. It's where I'm at right now. That was Matt and Tyler. If we talked about this, Matt and Tyler came and he followed us. He followed us in the interviews at the hotel. And he says, I'm well, what will satisfy you tonight? And I went, well, only wins satisfy this team, Mark. Yeah, that was what I said. And I came after it and he said to me, well, you did say it. I said, in all honesty, they're giving us a point here. I'd have taken it. I said, if he'd given us a point, we'd have taken it. But as with that, Neville again made an unbelievable good save right to the death. And we won it. And that was a title for me. That was the one. That was the one. That was a massive statement. It was. That was the one. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It was. It's. Because of is. I don't. I don't. I don't. I don't. All right.anni all go? All right. All right. Oh, I am y selfies. Yes. Go, one. Mae ae'r arnynt y greadiaid! Fe gennym nhw'n greadio...

But you just said there that was like the final. So was that similar to the Wafford feeling where you believed that? Yeah, I would say so. 100% We went and said we had to replay against Rapid Vienna. Old Trafford. Old Trafford and four or five with me and the Redienshi. Remember we could stop with the police at night? Can you believe that? We were doing our homework. Me, Sharpie, Redienshi and Brace. Five of us, we got in the car and we went to drive across the M62 to go and watch the game. So because we knew we were playing some of them, one of them in the final. So that's the kind of thing we did. So we're driving along, next minute eight o'r eight o'r and pulled us over. And they thought five guys in the car, they must have nicked it. They intentionally stopped us.  Sorry guys. On you go, enjoy the game. And we went and watched it. And we left there and we thought, I was kind of glad, I don't know about you. But I was really pleased Rapid Vienna won it. And the only reason I say that is, but I say that is all. So one is the Rangers fan. And the fact that I didn't want to find out we become a Battle of Britain.  And I thought it would have been a much more difficult game for us purely because it was Celtic. And not Rapid Vienna. So I was really pleased because of that, that it didn't become a Battle of Britain Cup final. Because I think it would have been a much more difficult game for us than what turned out.   Obviously, it was nearly a half-time. Last called a perfectly good goal. A really good goal. And then you should go on a wonder goal to it. Listen, Sharp, he keeps saying I played me in. Honestly, if you watch it, he plays me a terrible ball, it's behind me. And I've got your adjustment quickly. I should have done your hit. Listen, he was different class. He read that play, what he did, how he composed himself was a measure of where he got to as a player. From the guy I met two years earlier. Would you say you improved him? Listen, I would say... No, no, I'm not trying to laugh. Listen, this guy of talent. We all need people sometimes in our lives. I went to Villa as a 19-year-old braw. And I teamed up with a guy called Brian Little. He was totally different from me. Totally different from everything. He was the most skillful player. He was the most skillful friend I ever played alongside. I mean that. He could do things with a football. I would just go wow. So you learn. With him, because he was a jock. Because he's a Rangers fan. Because there was an affinity between us. Because we were pals. I never tried to do it with Sharp. I tried to sort of talk to him about certain things. About jumping for the ball. I took him out and said when you jump early and do all these things like that. And suddenly became a master of it. This jumping early business. I used to watch him after I left. And I used to watch him jump up and mess people about. And I used to think, yeah, I remember that. I remember that. I'd like to think, the only thing he learned from me was like. Winning is pretty much everything. Winning is everything. I said it earlier. I don't get any joy from competing in that winning. I think if you're competing you might as well win. And I think if I taught him anything it was like. Enjoy winning. Because he was much more skillful than me. He's a better player than I was. And he could do things I couldn't do. But I could do things he couldn't. And I think my aggression he picked up. I think he definitely picked up. I think he definitely picked up. Because he was soft. But he was a nice guy. Nice setting forward. I'd like to think I taught him how aggression can be in the game.  Sorry. No one could teach him. He was in a natural curve of getting better. And he was always going to get better. Playing for Scotland. Winning titles. Winning curves. He was always going to become what he became. After that obviously we won that. Is there a feeling? I went to Wembley on a Saturday against United thinking. Miles better than me. But when you look back another day. But that made the difference. I would have thought. The games that we played in the run up to that. Imagine that now a days. You know we can't do that. And we were consistently playing. Game. Rest. Looking for another game. Rest. It was crazy. And we battered Manchester United. Battered every opportunity. There wasn't any fear there. Obviously go to a cup final. Again in those days extremely hot on the day. And I just think. We just reached that plateau. We just did nothing left in our legs. If we'd have played that game on the Sunday. I think it would have been a different outcome. I think it just came to. People talk about different stories getting bandied around. Over celebrating after the cup. That wasn't true. The thing was. We came back from Rotterdam. Went home. Wights had been in the flight. Went home. We watched the game again on the telly. He recorded it. We sat and watched and drove over our own house. Then it was a case of. Day off. Thursday off. Thursday off and then Friday. And traveling the way on Friday. So it was not really respite for you. It was a case of getting on to it again. I honestly believe. It was a day later. Two days later. I think we did a different outcome. I think I feel I've got a replay. I think that's an absolute certainty. I've thought about that game many times. He and I didn't play. We were as poor probably as we'd been as a partnership. That whole season. That was a disappointing thing for us. We never played. I mean, Reedy always has got us. Reedy loves having got us. But he forgets that we got him through the semi-final when he was hopeless. If you watched that semi-final against Llew Llew, Reedy was shocked. Reedy, you were shocked. Absolutely hopeless. But on the day of that final. We never played. Him and I never played. We never played to the levels that we should have done. That we had done. And I do think it was just a game too far. A day too early. Two days too early. Whatever. Cos we were better than United. We'd beat them five. We'd beat them home and away in the league and league cup. And there was nothing for us to fear with Manchester United. There's some good players. Of course they did. Stapleton and Robin Robertson. White side. These were good, good players. I mean top players. Not just good players but top players. And I just felt one of the days a game went on. We had a couple of chances. I know Reedy hit the post early on. I missed a good chance, second half. But there wasn't many, was there? There wasn't many chances. Then Reedy, when Kevin Moran got sent off. And that actually probably, Yes. The stadium got angry. The whole thing lifted. The Man United fans got angry. They got right behind the team. And instead of giving us life, they gave them life. Definitely. And lifted them. Yeah, hot day again. But I said, the game started within 15 minutes. I just knew my lines had gone. 15 minutes in and you're thinking, I can't be right with something here.  It was happening sharp. It was happening sharp. It was definitely the game but it was sharp. You were applauding. And then you have to remember that this is the season where we had played the league cup final. The league cup up to what? Where do we get to? We were out quite early in the league cup. Let me get in my speakers. At 40 shirts. We've got to beat one now. But we did that. We did the FA cup run. We did the cup winners cup run. With 42 league games. 42 now. 42 in those days. So you're talking like the best part. When people say, he's played 30 games this season. Sorry. He must have played nearly 60. He must have done that. That's the thing. You forget that. Look at it nowadays where it was a squad thing. You're talking about the squad of what? 14. 14. Well, it was 11. Say there was a top team. Then he would have had that. Inche. Harps. Ritchow. And... Bails. Bails in there. I don't know. It was a bit of a fork. Yeah, it was about 15 max. 15 max. Would have been our squad. 15 max. To play 40... I would say 65, 70 games. That year. Everyone must have played 42 league games. Must have been eight in the FA cup. So that's 50. Must have been 10 in the championship. 10 in the championship. The cup of the cup. So it's... So it's... So I think it must have been well near 70 games. Ever played that year. People like Sharpie. Sharpie must have played 60 of them. But it was a game. It was like... He's right. It was a game too far. It's a shame because that sight... Although we did create history. Listen, we did create it. We created history. We won the first European title that ever never won. When will we win another one? Another one? Not in the near future. I would think... Certainly not. I don't think in our lifetime I'll see everyone a European title again. So we were part of something special. But we really wanted to be part of something really special. And that would have been to emulate what Liverpool did when they won their treble. They won the league cup thing. European trophy in the league. For us to have done that to have won the double and then add a European trophy to that would have elevated us into a really special place. I think we're in a special place that ever team. I think we are. Definitely. But I think it would have elevated us into a place where I'm confidently going to say that no Everton team in the next 50 years will get anywhere near. And I hate to say that. But I believe it. That's how big an achievement is. So if you're watching, keep your feet. No. That wasn't a bad way to do it. I'm not saying that Everton won't win again. Anything but. What I'm saying is Everton will not have a team that can win the league title and get to the final FA cup when the European cup winners cup a European trophy in the one season. It won't. It simply won't happen. Maybe it's because other teams are better and Everton is so far behind at the moment. It's going to be tough for them. I would like us to have been sitting here now. Being the elite of the area. I think we're okay. I would like now. How do you think Everton fans look on you? No team. Of course. For me now, watching Everton now I want them to win something. To show that team what it is all about. Winning something for the fans and what it means and how you're held up in the steam and everything else. I want to see now. I think it's great when we've got all the plaudits and as Andy Cwbrett said we're a great side in everything else now but look at what we are in the future. I'm desperate. I'm desperate for us to win. Even if it's a league cup and if the FA cup is a trophy and people ask me a question about what's your most important victory for a team that's picking up that first trophy. That's why that 84 FA cup gave us a platform to say we can go through here. That's it. What a fantastic conversation.


Operation Trigger 5 concluded in Latin America last week. All the participating countries are thrilled by the results. On this occasion, police, customs, immigration officials were all involved in trying to detect illicit firearms being trafficked across Latin America. The results show a couple of interesting things. First of all, that increased cooperation and intelligence sharing across Latin America has led to really effective outcomes. The other interesting thing we saw was firearms were being detected and military assault rifles, AK-47s, not only were they detected, but we were able to use the Interpol databases to trace these back to source countries in the Middle East. We saw links to organised crime revealed throughout this operation. Not only were those links exposed through the search, seizure and the arrests, but significant organised crime entities were detected at borders and were able to be arrested. This included people travelling between Guatemala and Honduras and already those extraditions have taken place back to their home countries. Over 42,000 checks were carried out at borders and integrated hotspots where intelligence led the teams. In that time, 125,000 new records were added to the IARMS database by the teams involved in the operation. That's a significant achievement because that information is going to be accessible by other police officers all over the world in terms of pursuing illicit firearms. One of the notable arrests that occurred during the operation was an arms trafficking kingpin who was suspected of supplying arms to the ELN terror group in Colombia. So this is a really significant outcome not only for law enforcement in Colombia but for law enforcement throughout the region. In addition, there were 47 arrests in El Salvador. 18 of the people identified were directly connected to the organised crime groups Barrio 18 and MS-13 which as we know have tentacles not only throughout the region but increasingly internationally.


Partial interval recording. This is a method, but it seems to be a pattern today. So partial interval recording is just when you set up a time period and you break it into chunks, right, intervals. So let's say you got an hour, you break that up into two-minute chunks or something, and you're trying to track a particular behavior. Let's say talking out of turn. Actually, we could say mumbling, since that seems to be, right. So in a partial interval recording method, what you have to do is during each interval, if the behavior in question happens at all, even for the briefest of moments, then you mark it down, right. So if you broke this one-minute video up into intervals of like 10-second intervals, how many intervals are there? You don't have to do it for the entire interval, just a little piece of it. It tends to over-estimate behavior, which is great if you have a problem behavior, then you can really get your tools into something and you're trying to reduce that behavior really well or have more chance of it. I don't know. It's a really good method. It's really easy. People use it all the time. Highly effective. I really like partial interval recording, if you can't tell.


Sorry for this technical talk. I was hoping this would be more fun, but then that's what I can come up on a short notice. So we're going to discuss how we are really developing JavaScript web applications in today's world and what can be done to resolve that. So new apologies to all the Rakhisavant fans. This is how we are doing JavaScript development. Looks hot on the surface, jQuery and all that. All that animations and all that effects and all live validations, but not really maintainable. You know, it's like, and what you'd want to really do is have this as your web development workflow. People may not be interested that much on the first look, but then it's really maintainable and saleable and you know, works well for the long term. So this is straightly, you know, picked up from Zaka stock. This is how you should be doing JavaScript applications. It's based on a module theory wherein everything that you want to do is a module. Everything is defined into single responsibility, object or module wherein you can just describe the module without using and or or.  And there is an application core. There is a sandbox, there is a base library. Base library is your jQuery or dojo or YUI, whatever you prefer to use. There is your application core. We'll talk about that in a minute. And there is a sandbox. So the theory is that each module doesn't know about other modules. The modules are very loosely coupled. None of them talks to each other. They are cleanly separated. And there is no communication directly between modules. That's first thing that has to be understood. Second, each module is a single responsibility module. So if it does handle more than one concern, it's you're doing it wrong. It should only handle one concern and that also improves your testability of the code. So one concern per module, and all the communication that happens between modules is through a common sandbox that's available to the module. So only sandbox knows that there are other modules. No module of your app knows that there are other modules. So advantage of this approach would be that if a module fails, the rest of your app is still working. That is one advantage. Then the sandbox only knows about application core and modules. The modules do not know about application core. So if you want something to happen on an application level, that is not directly accessible by modules. Modules, how to notify that to your sandbox and sandbox in turn, will notify that to your application core and that decision will be taken by application core. So application core acts as a mediator and separator of concerns. Whatever you want to do on an application level should be forwarded to application core. Sandbox acts as a facade. So I'm talking about using design patterns over here. Sandbox acts as a facade, which is exposing application core on an API level, not really exposing all the details of application core. And application core in turn just works as a loader and offloader of modules. So no module is loaded on its own. The application core decides, depending on the context of environment, which module to load and which to offload. And base library is separated from your application core. So that you can hotswap your base library any time. Say for example, you're using jQuery, Ajax and you now want to use web sockets for communication or for that matter, any other communication technology, you should be able to hotswap it without actually changing your modules. So no module should have direct references as far as possible to important components of your base library. So that's on some sort of scalable architecture. I think that's it, if you have any questions. I don't think we have time for questions.


Okay, welcome back. Today is January 4, 2021. Happy New Year, everybody. This is our first DevSync of the new year. We're going to catch up on things. We had the last week off, and so I don't expect that they got everything done, but we'll see. I know that I was busy ordering parts for the Mark II DevKits, and those have all been placed. We've got all the parts flying to and fro to the various places to be assembled, and those are on track to get done by the end of this month, which means that we should be able to ship them in February as planned. So I think that's a good start for the year, and let's check in with everyone else here and see how the things are going. Chris Fair. Yeah, so today I worked a little bit on getting my new materialized view integrated into the code, but most of my time today was spent back and forth with Ken looking at this microphone issue on the Pandacore build. We get closer and closer all the time. Now, and Ken can probably give you some more down to the NITS details, but it's down to basically when we try to read from the microphone, that read call from the microphone is failing, and we think it has something to do with, well, I think it has something to do with the settings, like the sample rate and all that good stuff, but as Ken will mention, basically, the configs are the same as they are for the QT build, as they are for Pandacore and the QT build works. So I had the exact statement in our code where it fails, but that statement goes out, basically pulse audio and port audio and does things kind of low level. So like I said, we're closer than we were, yes, on Friday or Wednesday, whatever, Wednesday, but we're not quite to the smoking gun yet. So I will continue to do whatever I can to help Ken poking through our source code and through pie audio. And Ken is doing some more of the lower level stuff. So I'll continue to do that and hopefully we'll figure out what's going on here and get our microphone fixed. All right. Great. Thanks. Yes. Yeah, so I guess to extend on that a little bit, there is a patch that has been released by an open source patch that Ken tested out first and Pandacore applied and said seems to be working well for them. So it doesn't actually fix the issue, but it handles it. It handles the error more gracefully. So there is that, at least there was also the issue where the precise download would time out got pegged down to because they're using squash FS first read of any file basically is a bit slower until it unpacks it and cases it and stuff. So when micro first boots and it tries to hash a really large binary file, that takes a long time and times out. But anyway, so we've increased the time out on that temporarily, but I'm still the firm believe that we don't actually need to do that, because we should just be shipping the precise binary and not trying to download it on the fly. Yeah, so what's involved in, I mean, I think we can make that call I don't see any reason to. I mean, I certainly agree that that binary file should be part of our build and not part of should be considered data should be considered code right so it should be subject to update the update process and not, you know, anything else. So what's involved in packaging that up and making that part of our. So it's already, it's already packaged up. The problem was, like, because when you intuitively when you package it up you just you just include the binary right, but because of the way that we download it, it needs the table with it. Otherwise, it doesn't think that it doesn't think it exists because it checks the chart, it checks the table rather than the actual engine itself. And so that was also the model. Yeah, anyway, so so at the moment, we're just packaging up both the table and the extracted binary and the table and the extracted model, which we shouldn't need to do. And so then I'm also doing some work with okay to, to change that process a little bit so that it no longer requires that table to be there, which, you know, slims down the whole thing a little bit. And everyone in the community seems pretty happy to to pull that out. We may, there's also the precise plugin, you know, we can move directly to a precise plugin if we want to. But yeah, but both things aren't too much work. Well, the plugin seems fine, but it wouldn't. Yeah, it seems like you still need to solve that issue because you don't want that issue to become part of the plugin. Right. Yeah, totally. Exactly. Yeah. Okay, well, I'm all in favor of fixing that because it sounds like it's a mess and let's just make it clean. Yeah, I'm not really sure why it got done that way when nothing else that we do works that way. Well, the skills are worked that way because every time it boots up right now it goes out and tries to update all the skills. Yeah, I remember that right. So I'd love to blame some. Yeah, anyway, so I did a bit of that.  Open voice OS is now using our new Wi-Fi connect skill or fork of it anyway. So that's that's cool too. And yeah, I was mostly responding to Kickstarter backers and stuff catching up on emails from the holidays and that sort of thing. But yeah, people are generally, generally pretty excited that we're finally shipping dev kits. There's a few mentions of like, you know, here we go, Chinese New Year is going to be the next thing that jumps in our way. But I hopefully not stupidly assured them that we'd accounted for this and that if we come out in a month's time and say Chinese New Year screwed us, then they have my personal blessing to point and laugh and ridicule us. Yes, we're Chinese New Year. And we're getting stuff all done before that happens. Yeah. Anyway, that's me. Okay, Derek. Yeah. So today I've been working a little bit on double checking stuff on so I cut a couple more laser cut enclosures, put them together. Feel good about it. I've kind of handed that off to Chris and Josh to do purchasing. I think they're on it. Josh gave me the thumbs up. And then a little bit this afternoon, trying to figure out how to get things to China. This has been some new added hurdles for shipping to China that I've discovered the EEI requirement that you have to file to ship to China. So our boards, we've got to send some consigned parts to the assembler. I'm still actually, as we speak, I'm kind of working on and trying to figure out how to do this, maybe through DHL, because I did not have success at FedEx. So yeah, that's a bummer. I need to get that, you know, hopefully I can still get that out today. Johnny's helping me too if I didn't mention that already. So yeah, that's been my day so far. Great. I just want to mention for everyone who's questioning or concerned about this, the parts that Derek is talking about are actually optional parts. They're something that we're testing out, but they're not required for the for the dev kits. So we've got a little experiment going on and we want to see if the PCBA factory can solder these onto the boards better than we can do by hand. So anyway, it won't impact the dev kits shipping. I need to imagine, given that the chips are sourced from Fort Meade, Maryland, that it would be easier to get them out of the country, but apparently not. All right, Ken. Last but not least, well, I guess we haven't done Josh yet. Anyway, go ahead, Ken. All right, so where to start. So I created a what I would say is leave precise alone for now. It's one less moving part. We want to get this build and this image working. And it works as is. I mean, it's it's not that bad what it does right I mean it looks at the tar and it takes the checks some of the tar rather than having to take the checks of the entire binary. You know, and it also does the same thing for the model downloads them on the man. Now I suspect some of the problems we were seeing earlier. Had to do with some of the stuff that's coming out from Panicor and again I don't know their boot or build process of some of the stuff just comes to me piecemeal but it seems like they're unzipping some volumes on boot. And that could have potentially been the cause of the difficulty with unzipping. Or calculating the checks on over the TGZ. If it wasn't completely unzipped from squash FS and it's going to have to wait and it's going to have to go through that whole cycle of give me this chunk and now wait until it gets unzipped and then squash probably has to go out of its way so anyway, I think that he on the head I think he's on top of that. I don't know for sure, but I don't know if there's anything you can do about it. I suspect that was a problem of downloading precise was simply they don't wait for the network to come up and be verified it's up to spawn us. I believe that to be true. So if we get spawned and we and to expect to have a network. That's fine. Yeah, in other words, I think they're running my craft before the network connection has been established. And that's why you were seeing a lot of those kind of DNS and and fetch errors in the log files. If the network settled out, then it would recover but that you know goes through many retries anyway, there's something we should be able to like back up before we're going to never connection. Like, yeah, well, except that that's where the precise arrows being thrown from because it's going to the back end and trying to download precise, and it can't get it because it doesn't have a network connection so it keeps retrying and that consumes a lot of bandwidth and it slows everything down as a sometimes a cascading effect. But anyway, all I would say is leave precise alone for now we can we can get to it later. But it would be one less moving part that we have to deal with in this, bringing up of the panic core image. Okay, sorry to interrupt Ken. But the, I think the reason that's precise download issue came up is because we were investigating why the mic didn't work. And so is this not related to the mic not working. I mean it's related to the mic not working in that if precise doesn't get installed properly then you shouldn't expect anything to be recognized. Right. Okay, so you have a different solution for this that will be what I'm saying is that's not that's not the problem we have so so I also tried to build a tensor flow and basil. And because I got bored on Saturday and that reminded me of what a mess we're in with precise, and why precise is deployed the way it is, because it doesn't run on many versions of Python with that version of tensor flow. So everything's bundled pretty much as a binary together. Again, we can get to that, but I don't think that's imperative right now. What I did do is I created a script. Because the reason I wasted my time over the weekend trying to rebuild precise was I thought maybe we had a bad precise build for arch 64. And I don't even know how the hell we got a precise build for arch 64 is the first arch 64 operating system we've ever tried to run out right qt of this so I don't know how that happened but it did. Well, let me make sure that's not it. I was going to recompile it. Then I realized that building tensor flow on an eight gig pi four would take seven days and building the build tool basil will take 33 hours. So it has to be, you know, cross compile tool chain up in the cloud. And then I said, Well, let me see if it is precise. I wrote a script that doesn't use precise just to latch on to the microphone and record, and it throws the same error. So that demonstrated to me that it's not precise specific so then I could stop wasting time on that. But I download downloaded port audio which is where the exceptions being thrown and built it from source and put some debugging in there and figured out that at the end of the day. Because is a broken pipe being reported, which is a bit of a misnomer, because the broken pipe being reported on an input channel really means that you're getting overrun errors, and that you can't keep up with the mic input rate. And that's fine. And that's where I'm at, trying to figure out if that is endemic in their build, because we're containerized welcome to the wonderful world of containers, or if it's perhaps because it's misconfigured as Chris mentioned earlier, we're looking and seeing that all the config files seem to be the same. But I will say this, our mic comes in at 48k. And it comes in as a 32 bit entity, which is a bit uncommon, it's a high end audio device. In fact, I only think 32 bits are ultimately used anyway, but the point is that has to all be 16. I think it has to be configured properly as well and that could be the reason we're getting the overrun errors. But again, why we're not getting on the other machine is beyond me. What I told Ricardo before I went on vacation was I suspect it's performance related. And after my digging today, I'm even more suspicious that it's performance related. So that's that, that's where I'm at. And I'm in the middle of the Port Audio code and I'm trying to see if I can catch it and make it right without basically just missing frames all over the place and ruining the quality of the signal. And then I'm going to start one by one going over the two builds and seeing if there's anything from a surface level like configuration stuff for versioning or anything that's different. But yeah, so that's what I'm doing. Okay, well, this this is a, you know, we're not dealing with a real time operating system. So this is the kind of stuff that, you know, should give us nightmares. The. All right. So do you have a version that you can pass to Ricardo that doesn't include precise that's just like basically a pass through microphone sort of. I can give it to him. It's a five one piece of code script. But I'm pretty sure he knows it's not precise because I posted it in the thing today. You guys can keep up in the, you know, The other thing is fixed enough for now, like, because because there's now being distributed, like packaged up in the way that Microsoft expects with the tar balls and everything. We shouldn't hit that problem anymore. Yeah, as guest mentioned, and I failed to mention the other problem with that was they were whacking the tar ball after they unzipped it and precise then says, what's the check some on the tar ball it's not here I better go get it. So they fix that. Well, that bill doesn't hit the streets yet, but. Okay, so, so we're just down in this port audio module and down at the point where we're getting Mike input, I guess we used to calm under run errors, but the call over and errors I guess technically, but we can't keep up with the mics feeding us data packets at 48 K 32 bits. Okay, so that sounds like the. So if it's an under run what you're saying is that the port audio is not able to fill the buffer with data from the XMOS fast enough. No, it isn't overrun then yeah technically correct. No, it's the exact opposite it's filling it fine. The driver can't keep up with live Alice's stopping the buffer. Okay, so yeah so the data coming in from the XMOS chip is overrunning the buffer and we're not assuming it fast enough. Yeah, I remember I mean when you think about it that kind of makes sense, certainly from a misconfiguration potential, but even potentially from performance, your standard stuff is going to be 16 kilohertz, 8 bit maybe 16 bit right and more 48 kilohertz 32 bit. You know, so I mean I've seen, I think the first version came in at 8 bit so anyway yeah I don't know. I just don't know enough yet and maybe I could fix it maybe I can get in there and fix it so you know. It sounds like the kind of thing that might be I don't think this should be a it shouldn't be a performance issue if it's a performance issue it's like a really high level, or really low level I guess I'm thinking. You know between low level. Yeah, it's the hardware is filling the buffer, right and the first level driver can't pull it out fast enough. That's a that's to be a panic or issue like if they're on top of this if they're aware of this and they should be able to figure that out I think it's got to have something to do with priorities of the, you know, the. I agree and I agree it's a panic or issue but I was asked last week to do everything we can. I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong. I'm just saying that I think they may have more insight into the level.  I hope so. All right. So they're up to speed on where you've gotten with all of this. They are. Okay, cool. We've been back and forth quite a bit so. Little little little stuff you can talk about it's all in there. Sounds super fun. All right. Well, I guess I didn't mention on the record here that we're going to be shipping out some more sj 201s. And we'll send those out. We're going to get a new one of those so they'll have a fully working system when they get that we're going to ship those out today. And everyone who doesn't have a fully working sj 201 will get one as well. Is there any erratic data on the Rev five boards because, you know, like there's the itc detect issue I just want to make sure that Kevin didn't overlook something. Any particular other issues that you're concerned about or like the thing that comes to mind is that I to see detect will erase the lets. Oh, okay. Well, that's I don't I haven't heard of that issue before. He knows about we discussed it. Oh, okay. It was one of the first ones I reported I'm just wondering if there's a process so that he doesn't forget because it was early on in the process and it sounds like he's been off on other stuff. I'll I'll mention it with him. Okay. Talk to him later. Okay. Anything else that people want to bring up at this point. Okay. Well, it sounds like we're working full steam ahead at getting the hardware is underway and we're working towards getting this the Pantacore software distribution system up and running. And so we'll just keep working on it until we get it done. Because we got a lot of a lot of fun stuff to get to in terms of improving the user experience once we get a user experience online. So, we'll get there. All right. Well, thanks everybody. We'll just call it here for today. And before we break, are we expecting to meet with Pantacore at any point in the near future and. Once we get this once we get this build out we should do another demo. We're going to be working with them. They're obviously cautious. They want to make they want to have everything working 100%. Which is what we want as well. But, you know, obviously demos are a good way of seeing how close we are to that and putting some. Yeah, identifying where we're not and and putting the pressure on there so. We don't need to just make them have a demo, but I mean, we don't we don't need that. In person or anything like. Well, you know, as person as we get as in person as we get, we can do that by video. And then. This is on them right now. Is that correct that we're assuming that this is in their ball court or. Is there any possibility for cross communication and they think they're waiting on us. For any issue. For any issue. Yeah, as in they know that we're still waiting on a completely working system. Yes. So they're trying to begin to the. I mean, you're in the you're in the chat channel as well. I just wanted to make sure because that that's what I took away from there. I just wanted to hear you confirm that. Yeah. That they need to get this image working right with this. But yes, I agree. We should be we should be catching up shortly. So. I think. And once we test out these, these latest changes, and we, Derek, we need to get the Wi-Fi that onboarding and Wi-Fi stuff really. Ticked off and sent over so they can get on to that as well. Ideally. Yeah, it's still a good price. Yeah, if I can get past this shipment stuff and yeah, then I can get back on that. And ordering, we've got these two things left to order in this shipment dealt with and then I should be freed up to do that. Do you know when the next panic war builds coming out with the pulse audio patch thing? Sorry, I dropped out if that was a question for me. Do you know when the next panic war bills coming out with the pulse audio fix? If it's not, if it's not already built, then I will trigger a build now. Okay. If it's when it's ready, if it's already ready. Yeah, I'll be going to check after this. Okay, well on the demo front, I like the process that Josh instituted over a year ago in terms of doing continuous weekly demos just to let the team know where we are. So I'd like to start doing that now. I don't want to interfere with work, but I don't think that we're not at a stage where, you know, I think doing a demo is going to be preventing us from doing any useful work. So let's go ahead and set that up for Friday at the latest. If there's something available sooner, let's do, you know, we can set it up sooner, but for sure by Friday. And the need to be like publicly visible videos, right? We can just do the whole thing on a phone camera, right? Yeah. Yeah. The second you can do them all in a phone camera and either Derek or I can get our hands on a working S J 201. I want to do a super professionally lit very well. It does not like scripted but like, you know, put together like end to end demo because that that opens up a ton of doors for us in terms of like keeping the business team busy and starting to push through. You know, the, the business problems that we're, we're trying to solve, which have in many, many cases been on hold pending getting the technology to the point where we could do it. Right. So guess, can you set up that demo with Pantacore for Friday. Or you want to do it. So I mean, I thought we don't need to do with the core if their stuff is mostly out of the way. Yeah, I thought, I thought it feels like a some in somewhat a waste of time to spend like 10, 15 minutes with like eight people on a call. Why we do a thing. So I wonder if we just do that by video and and set up a meeting to actually talk about the outcome of that. And where we're going next and all that sort of stuff. Is that Well, I'll let Josh weigh in on that because this was his innovation. The first time around. What was that? It feels like a bit of a waste of time to have 15 people, eight people on a call for 10 to 15 minutes while we play around with the device. So my intuition would be to record the demo beforehand, send it out to everyone's everyone can consume it and then have the many to talk about, you know, where we're at and what what needs to come next. That's kind of not the point of the process initially, the point of the process initially is, is to partially motivate but then also partially highlight with the team where the problems are the the issue with doing the demos in a scripted or pre recorded way is that people get really used to using the interface and they don't go off script right there isn't the ability to inject additional questions or to kind of go off off the beaten path. And as a result you end up with a really successful video for a product that when you open it is really terrible. And so, you know, for the first few I'd like to have our team all on board and so that we can ask questions and go back and forth. But once they read once it reaches the point where the things useful and I can set it up in my kitchen. It ceases to be a real issue because you know we're all using it day to day, but right now, you know, none of us at least I'm not using it every day. So, yeah, I'd like to have everybody on the call at least for the first few. Okay. Yeah. One of the things that we did have in place before as well was the ability for all the developers myself and Josh to install the build on a device that was all the same. You know, sounds like we might get very close to that this week with Kevin sitting out some boards. So, that would be a good thing to do the day before the demo is to say here's the latest build fired up.  We should all be running the latest version of the software. And that's one of the points of this panticore system, right. Which makes sure we're all on the right branch. Yeah. So there's, there's two sides to it. Like, if, if people are just like wanting the latest software, then, then we can, we can push that out to everyone automatically. But, you know, at this stage, we do want to be going through that, you know, raw, out of, you know, unboxing kind of experience over and over and over again, as much as possible. So. Right. Okay. Okay. Well, yeah, guys, if you could organize that for Friday, that'd be great. And all right. So anything else? All right. Then we'll call it there for real this time and talk to you all tomorrow.


Hey there, it's Mr. P. On today's lesson, we're going to take a look at concrete and abstract nouns. So first off, we're going to do an overview and we're going to answer three questions. What do nouns do? What kind of nouns are there? Can they be countable or uncountable? Right on. Let's get started. So first question. What do nouns do? Nouns name. People, like Shakespeare, Englishmen, singers. Places, like Toronto, countries, lakes. Things, like sneeze or dogs, Microsoft, etc. And ideas, like aristocracy, democracy, Marxism, clarity. Yeah, I think I got that. Second question. What kind of nouns are there? Proper and common nouns. Proper nouns name specific places, things and people. They're always capitalized, like just in Trudeau, Buddhism or Toronto, etc. Common nouns instead identify a single entity and is used to refer to that entity. Common nouns are never capitalized, like kitchen, book, computer, singer, religion, etc. And they can be also collective. They describe a collection or a number of people or things, like family, like herd, like orchestra, like team, police, etc. Third question. Can they be countable? Of course, they can be countable or uncountable. So the countable nouns are the common nouns that refer to something specific that can be counted. They can be singular or plural, like cop, car, suggestion, dog, etc. Uncountable nouns are common nouns that refer to people, places or things. They are nonspecific. They are always singular and do not have a plural form, like advice, pottery, homework, rain, etc. So now let's take a look at concrete and abstract nouns. Yes, you are lost, I'm lost. Ok, so concrete nouns. They can be perceived by the five senses. The five senses are taste, hearing, sight, smell, and touch. So let's take a look at some examples for each. So for taste, food, sugar, salt, hearing, alarm, siren, and voice. Sight, garden, path, house, smell, flower, perfume, gas, touch, nose, window, smartphone. Now let's take a look at abstract nouns. They name qualities and concepts that do not have physical properties. In order to remember abstract nouns, it's good to review some rules to make nouns. For example, the first one. Adjective plus ness. Ness is a suffix. So if you put a suffix like ness at the end of an adjective, it becomes a noun. For example, happy plus ness, happiness. So that's an abstract noun. Sad, adjective plus ness, sadness, that's an abstract noun. Then another abstract noun could be adjective plus ability. So for example, available, that's an adjective. And then if I add ability, availability, that's an abstract noun. Or likable, plus ability, likability, that's an abstract noun. Naturally, there are others that don't follow this rule. Like religion, union, pleasure, crime, life, poverty. And other examples could be love, patience, health, friendship, beauty, and community. So now let's do some practice. Yes, okie dokie. So concrete or abstract noun. Cantable or uncountable noun. So I will give you the noun and you will tell me if it's concrete or abstract and if it's countable or uncountable. Like for example, number one, equipment. Is it concrete or abstract? Is it countable or uncountable? Advice, furniture, sadness, building and landscape. Please post the video and I will give you the key right after. Now that you have completed this exercise, let's take a look at the key. Equipment is a concrete and uncountable noun, so you cannot say equipments. You can say a piece of equipment. Advice, so is an abstract noun and is uncountable.  Furniture, the same thing, is uncountable and is concrete. Sadness is an abstract noun and is uncountable. Building is a concrete noun and is countable, so you can say buildings. Landscape is a concrete noun and is countable, so you can say landscapes. Well, alright then. If you have any questions about this lesson or other lessons, please post the question under this video.
