Hello? Hello? Yeah? Okay. Okay. Right, we're going to start Augusta. Grab your tea. Come on down. Yeah, get them in. Are you nervous? Okay, come on in. That's our still moving in. Get your plates. We're going to start in one minute. Yeah, we're actually a minute late. Yeah, it's not. Do we have a defibrillator please? Ladies and gentlemen, our last blood sport of the day. Oh, sorry, presentations. Welcome to Augusta at OER 24. We have five more big presenters today. And when we talk about what does open mean, being open is prepared to put yourself on the stage with Tom Farley and the crowd doing Augusta. That's what open means. So you can tweet that. So we're going to start off our first presentation. When life brings you artificial intelligence, torn to feminism by the inimitable Francis Bell. I mean, we've had two amazing women here this Saturday. I'm kicking off Augusta. We are another amazing woman. So she's not as nervous as she thought she would be, which is good. I don't know whether she thought that would call you favor, but sadly, are we ready? Are you feeling a bit tired? Are you feeling energetic? Energetic. Now I'm watching particularly anybody who's not sitting in the main crew. You're not getting the hands up. I'll be watching out for this. I want participation. Hands up, everybody. Shake them out. Shake them out. You haven't been there? You're only half doing it. A hay, a dough, a tree, a car, a kooig, Augusta. No, we'll have to do that again. Only because it's Francis. If it was anybody else, they could sink or swim because I am afraid of this woman. No, I'm just afraid of you. We'll have to do something special now. Forget about that time. That doesn't work. That's only for the fact that's lolling you into a false sense of security. That's 10 minutes. It's 10 minutes. Doesn't work.  You'll be fine. A hay, a dough, a tree, a car, a kooig, Augusta. When life brings you artificial intelligence, turn to feminism. This is a solution-free zone. On a Masters in the late 1980s, I studied AI and did a final project that built a classifier system, a rule-based system that used genetic algorithms to generate rule sets that learned from trials in use. In contrast, some expert systems offered an explanatory interface that could justify their line of reasoning and or enable humans to learn from them. That interface was absent from genetic algorithms and Wikipedia tells us from other algorithms that can learn from data and generalize to unseen data and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions. Sounds familiar. In the 1980s, as computing power and storage became cheaper, information systems increasingly moved from batch data processing to include relational databases that were available on demand. Shoshana Zuboff identified the concept of informating where databases translate activities, events and objects into data with mixed outcomes. In teaching, I used the example of the GP Harold Shipman who changed patient's records after fatally injecting them with insulin unaware that his edits were time and date stamped. This data provided his trial with supportive evidence of his malign actions away from the database. This was a more positive outcome of informating than many we observe in today's big tech. Currently, systems as such as chat GPT based on large language models are attracting attention and usually presented as AI for reasons of hype. This was bias can be baked into databases, e.g. image recognition databases. The references document is linked on the last slide. I suggest you start with Helen Beetham's substack and the feminist website, notmy.ai. These models extract data from various sources, not necessarily with informed consent. A new book by Maas and Cauldry, Data Grab, the new colonialism of big tech and how to find back, is summarized as, your life online is their product. Their reference to fighting back supports the practice of hope rather than the shrugging of shoulders. What is feminism to offer? In the editorial for the feminist special issue of the MLT journal that some of us worked on, we outlined some work by feminists over the last 30 years in education technology that is now mainstream. It was said but not always listened to many years ago. Feminists persist in engaging in critical discourse on issues such as digital surveillance, AI, and the use of metrics and data to manage academic work. Read the work of authors in this special issue and be encouraged for the future. Another example of feminist practice that came about through the FEMED tech network was the FEMED Tech Quilt of Care and Justice project launched in November 2019 and resulting in four material quilts and the digital quilts, more or less in time for the online experience that rapidly replaced the cancelled OER20. The availability of FEMED tech open space and involvement in the quilt project, opportunities for comfort, solidarity and for expressing concerns and sometimes rage at a very difficult time. Some of us explored FEMED Tech Quilt as a post-human assemblage in a chapter in the wonderful HE for Good book. Rosie Bray Dottie's post-human feminism is to me a promising avenue to explore. I will leave you with the last sentence of that chapter. Feminists create, feminists resist and feminist celebrate difference. If you'd like to share a few words with or without your name as a response to this gasta, please leave them in the box at the front and now I'm going to read the paragraph that I missed. Okay. The image juxtaposes digital data with an image of my crafted response to the crafted response to the prompt at an OER23 workshop led by Claire Thompson. It represents my time consuming and flawed practice of managing cookies. The green snake is my data trying to hide in the pocket, keeping away from the fragile repair worn by the bells. I don't think Tom's going to be as kind to me. Hash but fair. Now, so one of my colleagues here from MTU who has helped make this an absolutely amazing experience for the last two days so well done to Ruth and to Jeremiah. That's the end of maybe a nicer. Right. I was going to up it a bit so I mean normally get you up and down a bit later but we'll actually get people there because I can see some people falling asleep. So we're going to go up on the hang down on the door. Are you ready?    I know it's a big word for you, Lordy. Rubbish. Are we ready?  Thank you for the introduction. My name's Ruth Fox from MTU going straight in. Urban HL argue that all one of the barriers faced by faculty to create OER stems from a perceived lack of time to devote to these activities. While you may agree or disagree with that statement, I'd like you to take some time to close your eyes and open your ears for less than a minute because it's been hectic. You've been up and down. So take a minute to relax. And yes, I'm serious. Please close your eyes now and listen. Nature gives. Take just a moment to reflect on the joy of giving. Create a talisman or a simple piece of art using natural materials and leave it for someone else to find to brighten up their day. It could be something really simple like a painted or decorated stone, a leaf with a drawing, a mandala, a written message in the sand or on a natural object, a weaving of twigs or grass or daisies. Think about how it will make this person feel when they find your gift. My offering well selfless offers priceless gifts to others. You may open your eyes now. The sound clip was created as a series of guided meditations linked to an openly licensed wellness journal and is hosted on SoundCloud. These sound files have been created for students to use as part of wellness journal. However, it can just as easily be used by a men's development network in Ireland, a women's shelter in South Africa, in schools in America, in corporate wellness programs and you on your commute home. The track is less than a minute long but how did it make you feel? An MTU colleague, Sinead Horohan, inspired me in a recent presentation when she mentioned she reuses this eight-year-old creative commons licensing explainer video. I'm loosely referencing in her saying it's a good resource so I create a new one. She refers to it over and over again. Isn't the whole purpose of OER the ability to retain, reuse, revise, remix and redistribute content for educational purposes? By going back and reusing OER it frees faculty staff up to produce other OER which in turn will help other academics. Perhaps if there were more shareable content out there we would focus more on feedback for our students and rethink how we assess their work. Recently the Department of Technology Enhanced Learning here at MTU supported academics in creating reusable learning resources and I think I've said that no. As part of a Settle Funded Initiative something that stood out to me was the scale and complexity of some of the proposals submitted and I can see why some academics may feel they don't have the capacity to create open education resources. That said I was also inspired by the range of ideas and I've lost myself and type of material that were produced by project teams for this initiative. Some of these teaching resources are made up of several smaller artifacts and I consider them reusable too outside of each of these projects. So in a past life I worked in an advertising agency as a graphic designer. It frustrated me that we spent hours working on ad campaigns. They went out into the world and after the campaign was over they became obsolete. Any ideas I could never reuse and take with me if I moved to another agency. Then I moved to academia and I felt a sense of relief that as an instructional designer any graphic design pieces I create along the way have a life beyond selling a product. The lecturers I co-design with have the autonomy to give our work a creative commons license and then it's out there for me or anyone else to use and not just another printed flyer occupying some landfill or slowly dying on a hard drive some way. Open education resources can be so many things. Sound files, short videos, templates like the Alex canvas are regularly used as an instructional designer. It could be an illustration, a 3D model of the body. It could be a textbook that can help students save money in the long run and help relieve the financial burden. Big small will take them all. Consider this a call to action. On your trip home from OER spend 30 minutes reflecting on what you can gift to the OER community. Is this something you can create in 30 minutes or when last have you looked at the body of work you have as a teacher or lecturer. Is there potential for you to apply a creative commons license to some of your work? Are you perhaps a minute away from retirement like Martin Weller and your teaching content will be lost the day you retire? Maybe this could be your OER gift for others to find out there. A big bright beautiful world of open education resources. Let's grow the global community of OER resources. Mind the microphones. I've been warned. I'm not allowed sharp or pointy objects. Microphones are anything else. Another character or character. Another colleague here, Jeremiah Splatt. I got you up and down, so I won't ask you to move up and down. We'll start off on the left, which is the Irish words clay, jazz, but I won't ask you to do that. Just do the count. We're going to start off on the left. Are we ready? I want to hear gusto. Ready? I'm just here for the sticker really, but I haven't seen the sticker today, so I'm worried I might not get one. In the research space in higher education, a number of challenges exist around the dissemination of new knowledge. I'm going to highlight three of those and then hopefully highlight how podcasting can address them. One of the fundamental long-standing issues plaguing academia, variously addressed by many people over the last two days, is the relationship between higher education institutions and commercial academic publishers, who without cost receive writing from academics, which is typically funded by the taxpayer. Then following that free labor, the publisher then sells back this research to university libraries at a substantial profit. This new knowledge typically ends up behind paywalls, which is inaccessible to the very individuals who supported it and indeed funded that very research. This for-profit commercialization of knowledge, a long-standing issue which the open access movement has long worked to address, not only restricts access, but also perpetuates wider society's barrier to accessing new scholarship. The big academic publishers are basically printing money, which is kind of the problem. The second part of this problem is that beyond the paywall, there are additional baked-in problems, which is that academic writing and research typically operates through highly jargonized and opaque language, which is legible only to the initiated. The barrier then that I refer to in my title are those operating within the HE and research landscape in society at large are these. There's often a divide in this in terms of how we communicate our work with wider society. The third problem, and I think this one is slightly more complex, is just a signpost. The third issue here, which adds to the complexity of all this, are the challenges faced by early career researchers, where there are issues of prestige around research outputs and impact. Often further their career early career researchers typically have to ensure that their best work is still published via highly indexed journals in terms of their early career researchers, H-index. They need to make sure that their work is published in highly indexed journals. It's really important, obviously, to draw in the work of others in your field. Here's a quote from Tom Farley on the sesh last night, which all jokes aside is actually a very important one. You were talking about when looking at job applications in higher education, that they all ask for high citation and high impact and very few of them foreground or indeed value the ethics of open. So then prestige is then the currency of our realm and open has not yet become the marker of prestige. Open isn't an option for many, rather the luxury of those working in the space like us or senior, more tenured academics. So my solution then, or what I'm arguing, is that podcasting offers a solution to these three problems. So firstly, sharing and making accessible research open to the wider public on the open web. Secondly, talking about complex ideas in simple conversational terms make topics more accessible to a non-specialist audience. And lastly for those early career researchers who still feel the need to publish in more closed environments for their careers, it's a way to openly share their work with a wide audience. So just a few examples, maybe examples of success perhaps. Just kind of illustrate this. So here, lots of us here are of course podcasting. So here's an example of some of our keynotes podcasting. This is another one that popped up in my feed with these handsome gentlemen here. I think this is a really great example because Ken's colleague here is a big advocate for podcasting. And I think that's great that in our institutions, we should engage with people that are podcasting and use them as kind of opportunities to share our work. So that's really good as well. Martin Weller today was talking about kind of extending the life of his book and kind of keeping it alive through conversations about the various chapters. Again, another great example of how we can use podcasting. And then a shameless plug myself. This is my own podcast, which is a musicology podcast. And again, for myself, this is a great opportunity to network and have conversations with people in my area that I'm interested in. So this is great. Another great example is the work of Michaela Benson, an English British sociologist who uses podcasting both for her research and also a way to communicate that research back to society at large, which is excellent. I'm under pressure here. But a really big part of this, I think, is kind of merging that scholarship with entertainment. And an excellent example of this is the work of Dr. Sharon Lambert, a psychologist has done with Blind Boy, who's a podcaster in Ireland, has a really big audience. And that's kind of making important things and do some podcasting. If there isn't one, make one. It's a lot of entertainment today. And actually, Jeremiah, don't forget, you're making people happy. They don't want to see. The worst gas is when everybody finishes on time. So that's no pressure, Aiman. We sat her off on the left. We're going to go on the right this time. Shake them out. Ahayne. Do you know what? I'm not going to do the count. You can count them in as well and encourage them. And if you think we'll keep the... Do you know what? I'm going to say something that used to be said to me as a kid, you know, with the teacher, I can stay here all night. I can stay here. That's Thomas flagging up here. He's dying. Come on. Ready? Ahayne. And Doe. And Tree. And Carr. And Cooley. Gustav. Hello, beautiful people of OER24. Beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside too.  Okay. I don't know if you've heard of Bon Jovi and what he had to say about the current state of the pedagogical landscape. He said that your love is like bad. She is what I need. Through this analogy between dysfunctional and codependent human relationships and poor pedagogical practices, it's because he knew there is a danger that we can entropomorphize workplaces and expect them to meet her emotional needs. The university cannot love you. Neither can your practices. Okay. And neither can the tools of your trade. All right. Chachi BT. He's never going to love you. Okay.  And you don't end up looking, you don't end up looking like a complete tool holding a foolish tool. So who can love you? Humans can love each other. Yeah, exactly. All right. That's true. So I said to my students, my wonderful students at Dublin City University, I said, students, I love you. And they said, Amen.  I said, you didn't let me finish. What I was going to say was I would love to get your help in this class to look at some multiple choice questions, because I do love MCQs. I love working on multiple choice questions. Back in 2018, myself and some researchers, we looked at 214 MCQs in 18 different MOOCs, massive open online courses. And we used a framework by Tarrant and Wear to look at the validity and the reliability of these MCQs. Because there is a lot of research out there to psychometric research and testing research that shows that if you create an MCQ badly, you'll get inconsistent results. And we used this framework to look at 18 item writing flaws, none of the above, all of the above, negatively worded stem, implausible distractors, ambiguous information in the question, and so on. 18 different things. Around 50% of MOOCs had flawed MCQs. So we're just creating pedagogies, bad pedagogies, and scaling them. So I said to my students, let's ask Chachi BT to create some MCQs, and see if we replicate this study in class. And we did that, and we had a lot of fun. The students worked in teams. This is some of the slides they created. We create a lot of memes in our class, and they were looking at MCQs and analyzing them. And they did some really, really good and fun work. And it was one of the most enjoyable class I had this year. We really had some great fun. It was really good. So the future is not what it used to be, all right? Because there's guardrails to protect us from harms and biases and all this. But there's no guardrails that are going to protect us from just shoddy education resources that this stuff is going to generate. So the future is going to be very mundane. We'll be working to clean up a lot of mess that AI generates. And we need to be careful not to install guardrails in the human heart. The border patrols others have imposed on us. And the monitoring systems you may have installed yourself as you were Benjamin put it very well. So I hope you remember what I said a few minutes ago. Did you not learn anything from this talk? Chat to BT, kind of love you, okay? So instead you can join a nonviolent and loving police force dedicated to finding, arresting, but not incarcerating, but reforming and rehabilitating bad pedagogies. Thank you. 26 seconds to spare. That was impressive. Last, but certainly not least. Alan's thinking what the hell do I have to do to follow that? But I have no doubt that Alan will, I think he'll certainly do something. Now we just, I wanted to keep it for the last gasta of the last wherever the sessions. So we just do one clap, but we'll go back now and we'll do the pro proper double clap. So at least, hey, that's okay. We all got that at the hands of now one ghost. Oh, this is your last gasta for the year. Are we ready? Go. Hey, dough, pray, car, carry, got that. Thank you, Corey. Before the poetry commences, Internet Tone News sets the stage with an abbreviated opinionated history. Present digital capabilities are founded on network diagrams made by wizards who stayed up late. Cold war mindsetting, a packet switching system distributed, decentralized, communal, unbreakable. 35 years ago, it enabled a vague but exciting proposal to birth the web bubbles, Tim Berners-Lee's, three C's, collaboration, fostering compassion, and generating curiosity, creativity, and of all things, a silly, avian themed text box to literally broadcast what you had for lunch. For educators especially, but society in general. Was this one Internet town hall? Hashtaging revolutions. The hashtag is the course, our PD network. It was the best of times. But was that an illusion? Came ads, algorithms, influencers, fraud, abuse, crypto scams, right for plucking as a billionaire's ego toy, plundering the API, deep-sixing the precious Twitter tags created by Martin Hoxie. This is a fine dumpster fire, isn't it? A social media diaspora. There are now sentient content-consuming machines roaming wild. Power and influence is concentrated, rather than distributed. Welcome to the Enshito scene. Yet, at its worst, all of this is riding on that original diagram concept, a distributed network. So where the hell do we go? To go, is there? And now, with some license. There's no magic one place. No town hall. I summon you to seek that DNA of the Internet itself. A schematic with no center, no control, whose propellant is cooperation. What is, where is, the Fediverse? It's here now. I feel it. It's distributed, decentralized, communal, shared, not owned, co-ops, not biz-ops, where accessibility is not a sideshow, where the means of communication is universal. With RSS, with an API, no one will close or put behind a paywall. It's a network of independent networks. It's like those navigation maps of old, which transmit to each other by activity pub. One protocol, one protocol to share them all. And not just for status posts, but for inter-sharing photos, videos, links, music, podcasts, book reviews, writing, it's mastodon, but more. It's pixel-fed, peer-tube, lemmy, funk whale, castapod, bookworm, write freely. Your WordPress, it becomes part of this activity hub. And it's all able to communicate with each other. But it's complicated. It's confusing. So is love. So is poetry. So is learning. That's opportunity. So if my name has two at signs in it, it means I'm not beholden to an owned place. I am free to move. The places you have set up camp, who owns, what owns them, operates them, moderates, cares, tends to its community. What are their interests? What is the trajectory of their maps? So assert your options. Do not be owned, managed, tangled, influenced, sucked into the easy offers slid between ads to you. Platforms do not define us. We supersede them. The Catherine Cronins, the Martin Wellers, the Francis Bells. We sense their humanness, their presence, wherever we see them. We are more. So I'm suggesting, no, I'm calling. I'm appealing to your appreciation for that core diagram characteristic of the original Internet. Silently, always, a life-giving pulse, living beneath. Beware of egotistical billionaires, extractors, faceless entities, datifying your apps. Here is your detour. Come on, it's time to escape the algorithm. Do not settle. Do not line up just where it's easy. Do not become a thread. Do not settle. Do not become a commodity. Stand up.  When they want to count you down. When they want to put you off stage three. Get federated. Get federated. Done. Right on cue. Jim Groom, Jim Who. Can the gust of tears please come up and get their badges please? This is what, this is what Gusta is all about. Actually, it's about having the crack. It's about love. We've heard that word also. Come on up here. You well deserve this. As I said, as I said, anybody, anybody can be a presenter. It takes real openness to be a gust of tear. Bear mats, not coasters. Crossing the stage. Yeah, it's like it's sort of mini graduation. I've got a bizarre graduation. Who needs boring speeches when you can finish off a conference like that? I'm looking for growth. I found it. Make your way on up here. Well, I hope Jim Groom was watching that live because he's just lost his slot for next year. He's going to have to do an audition to get a place back at Gusta. Anyway. Okay, let's bring things to a close. I have a few notes here. We'll do a two-hander on it. Yeah, yeah. Okay, well, I will say having worked so long to prepare for the conference, it's almost a surprise to find that it's over now at this stage, you know. I must say, and really I don't have any grand closing remarks or anything like that. I think we just wanted to make sure that we're tanking all of the people who are responsible for the event really. So in a kind of chronological order, I wanted to thank Maren Diepwell for encouraging us to submit a bid to host the conference in the first place. I want to thank my co-chair for insisting that we follow Maren's advice in putting in that bid. Thanks to Alt who while navigating their own processes of change helped us to navigate through the various different stages of preparation for the conference to the organizing committee who gave so freely of their time to Donna and Laurie who just left the building. For their early video they're encouraging people to submit for the conference that was really great and hit the tone really well. To Shane for over there for so many things, for the digital marketing and later for organizing and managing the AV side of things. That's definitely no small task. To Ty Glean who's just over there, our operations manager. Ty Glean made us look good. He did. And that was no small task. I definitely kept the trains running on time and kept me running on time, kept us running on time. To the sponsors, to the speakers, to the session chairs, to the keynotes, to the staff here in the MTU arena who are taking up carpet as we speak. And that's not a euphemism or anything. To volunteers from the end shooter project and to staff from the department of technology enhanced learning who in addition in many cases to support in the conference found time to give presentations, to do gastas just now and in one case to do a workshop. Folks, I must say your work has always been top-rate but often invisible as is often the case with people who are providing that kind of support. So it's been a pleasure to be able to un-conceal and reveal your professionalism and dedication here at OER24. I think you've really done the department and the University proud. So it's a chance for us as a University we're only three and a bit years old and I think it's a chance for us all to put our best foot forward and to show and I think the University and the staff have really helped out and stuff there like that. And I think hopefully if this is not your first OER you know what it's like but a lot of people here so forced OER and I've been ranting for months about OER special. I hope people who this is your forced OER you say it you're with people who genuinely care about the things that matter so hopefully you got that. Absolutely so look it's been a pleasure welcoming and hosting you all thanks for coming you're genuinely back anytime not tomorrow maybe but any other time and look we're really interested in collaborating and continuing the conversations with you thanks for your energy and your ideas and your commitment don't be a stranger as they say thank you thank you very much thank you so we're not quite finished yet actually there's one last announcement and who better to give us than Rajiv. Validict your name whatever word I I can't I felt hurt I can't think of big words anymore. Well this was explained to me was I was invited to roast somebody but I can I can switch certainly. Knock yourself out. Martin Weller you my friend are the consummate digital scholar you've battled for open you've relayed the history of ed tech and while also indulging in your only mildly disturbing fetish for metaphors. Your scholarship was of course staggering I will say it's been deeply deeply influential to so many for so long but I will say coming to open many of us feel and I see the same reaction in many young scholars whether you're coming from psychology like me or others people often tell me people are different and open they don't find the same degree of arrogance the same degree of hierarchy a lot of openness a lot of generosity and for me you certainly have exemplified that for a very long time. I will say your dedication to building community your mentorship in particular for the next generation of scholars and your commitment to building a sustainable model for mentorship has been incredible but I'll share a few personal things since we're approaching this exciting milestone in your life. I've learned several interesting things about about Martin over the years many of them have been inspiring your love of hockey our complimentary sympathies for each other myself living in Canada who loves cricket you living in in Cardiff with your love for hockey we seem like we were on different sides of the wormhole for a while your love for the Chicago Blackhawks your shining pride for your daughter with every post many special memories I'll share three of them with with all of you the first was the very first time I met Martin which was at a conference that he was keynoting alongside other luminaries and we found ourselves in a strange place the conference was in Sun City which is an awkward place in many ways but we found a bit of an oasis a place where the staff were meeting and where we were eating the local food we were enjoying bunny chow playing pool this was alongside Tracey McMillan Cotton and Audrey Waters and Brian Lamb and of course Irwin DeVries getting to know Martin for the first time my second favorite memory of you is when we were at the Creative Commons Summit in Toronto and we decided to go to a Blue Jays game Alan you were there too I think and again Martin and I not really understanding what was happening with the slow pace of this game decided we would amuse ourselves by relaying cricket commentary for the entire baseball game live tweeting it as we went which is fantastic but my third favorite memory of you is maybe the most most emblematic of I think your nature and it's when I came to London in 2017 for this conference and it was just after my first edited book had been published from the publisher who was Martin's previous publisher which is how I discovered them and Martin not only met me at a pub to celebrate this exciting moment in my own career but he physically walked to the publisher's offices picked up the very first copy that had been printed brought it to the pub for us to celebrate and I share that with you just as an example of how sweet this man is many of you know that his book 25 years of attack of course there was a lot of work that followed Clint LaLonde had a lot of work to pull together a lot of people to create an audiobook version of each of the chapters and it was a great privilege to be asked to read one of those chapters but I will say Martin I hope you realize that people wouldn't do that for just anybody that was a lot of work but they would do it for somebody who does it all for others absolutely I often tell people I tell my students I would much prefer to have kindness in somebody over cleverness you my friend are incredibly clever and you are exceptionally kind now that you're freed up from all of the trouble that you were causing at the OU or soon to be I look forward to seeing what mischief you get up to in the remaining years of the fun we're going to have together certainly so congratulations my friend I'm very excited to celebrate this huge moment in your life and I'm excited for all of the joy you're going to continue to bring all of us bless you that was like when Joseph Stalin used to speak everybody was afraid to be the force one to stop clapping Martin would you like to we're way ahead of time I've been to 11 OER conferences in a row and I'm going to take you through each one every presentation now I'd say they've all been sunny except this one time you need to work any weather here this is the part where I reveal in fact it's going to be like the end of Scooby-Doo I pull off a mask and actually I've been an undercover agent for Pearson all this time and I would have got away with it it wasn't for you pesky open kids but no I'm so pleased that for those who don't know I'm leaving the open university so and standing down from Gojin so I couldn't ask for a better conference as Tom said right at the start you know the OER conference is a very special community and when I co-chaired it in 2015 it had been run as part of the JISC OER community before then and Maron approached me and said would you consider ought to take it over and there was actually really strong resistance that most people don't don't let it all take over they're evil don't trust Maron you know and we really pushed for it and I think you know if we hadn't done that the conference wouldn't exist still and I think since under Augustus it's kind of become a really conference with its own identity it's become much more international much more critical it's moved away from talking about OER as staffed much more about practice and it really is the kind of I'm not just saying this it really is my favorite conference and it's a favorite group of people so thank you for letting me come up here and ramble on so thank you very much Tom thank you all right that's in the packing glass of all the money that I spent I spent it in good company and of all the harm that I done alas it was to none but me for all I want for want of it to memory now I can't recall so fill to me the packing glass goodnight and joy be with you all


Once on the internet, Asus kind of lent us their tough 6800XT card and I was excited but I was also kind of scared. Why scared? Because the AMD 5000 series cards had a notoriously buggy reputation. To be clear, I'm not specifically talking about the Asus 5000 series cards but just in general the AMD 5000 series cards. The drivers were so buggy that a lot of customers just gave up. We had customers coming to us complaining, RJ from Puede Magtanong, also had problems. Rocky the programmer said that it took him months to get his 5000 series card unstable. So this was a deal breaker for a lot of people and the first question should be, Has AMD fixed their driver issues with the 6000 series? And I'm happy to report that they have. I experienced no issues at all with the 6800XT. Driver insulation was as easy as it usually is and performance was rock solid among all of the games I tested as well as other productivity applications like video editing. So it looks like AMD's driver issues are behind it and I certainly hope so because those 5000 series drivers were a mess and they were a deal breaker for a lot of people. So you might actually want to consider purchasing the tough 6800XT and what do you need to know? I'll be comparing it to the tough 3080 because I was also able to play around with that card and in the card wars, the 3080 is supposed to be the one to stack up against the 6800XT so they both belong to the same tier. First, this is a big boy card at 320mm and it seems even longer than the tough 3080. When I was installing it, I kind of had to dip it into the case. I couldn't just horizontally install it into the PCIe slot. You know, I kind of had to wiggle and maneuver it into place which I don't remember having to do with the tough 3080. So this one feels a bit longer even. Make sure your case has the space for it. Performance wise, the tough 6800XT is neck and neck with the tough 3080. I don't want to give exact performance numbers because my setup was a bit atypical. My test rig is really kind of old so it might confuse people who are expecting higher numbers all around. But in my personal testing over multiple games, the 6800XT was just as good or sometimes slightly slower than the tough 3080. And this generally jives with what the rest of the internet is reporting. Some games, the 6800XT will do slightly better. Some games, the tough 3080 will do slightly better. It's just a matter of which games are optimized or this game does better with an AMD card. Performance wise, the two cards are really at parity. You know, just a little nip and tuck, one higher, one lower but overall, very similar numbers. The tough 6800XT can dish out the performance while remaining cool. It seems to at least superficially share the same cooling system as the tough 3080. And this is an all-metal cooling solution. The shroud is aluminum and the backplate is metal. The card does get quite hot to the touch but it doesn't seem to get too toasty inside the card so I assume the heat radiating of the card is the cooling system doing its job. Whisking the heat away from inside to dump it on the outside. And even when I ran the card hard, the temps never rose to such an extent that I became alarmed. So bottom line, should you get this card? It's roughly neck and neck with a 3080 in terms of performance. Usually you might find it a bit cheaper but the tough 6800XT is also not an easy card to find. So in the GPU Armageddon that is 2021, I will sort of break it down by scenario. And I think that's a more rational way of approaching whether you should buy a GPU. So scenario one, both cards are available. The 3080 and the tough 6800XT, but the 6800XT is cheaper. In that case, I would definitely buy the 6800XT. Since it delivers about the same performance as the 3080, if you can get it at a cheaper price, then that's a good deal. If you can't find the 3080 and you can find the 6800XT, then I would also go for the 6800XT. I wouldn't wait around for a 3080 because again, it's GPU Armageddon and nobody knows when stocks will loosen up. Finally scenario three, if you can find both cards, the 3080 and the tough 6800XT and both of them are at the same price, what should you do? If you're entrepreneurial, you buy both cards, you scout the 3080 and then you keep the 6800XT. But if scalping's not your thing, then it really comes down to are you team green or team red? Either way, it's good to see that AMD has put its troubles behind it and that it can come up with a card that stands basically two-to-two with the offerings from NVIDIA. The tough 6800XT did not disappoint and now I'm just excited, no longer scared. Thanks for watching. Thanks for watching, Internet. And special thanks to our top fans, Christian Espinosa, John Ruben Ocha, ITX addict Ian Meru, Richard Ongkinko, Leah Magnaye, and Dom H. Maraming, maraming salamat po.


My name is Nico Buldman. I'm from Univention. I want to give you a short overview on what is possible with Nexcloud and how you can set up Nexcloud in an Active Directory environment and much more better how you can do it easily and more maintainable. Typically, the first thing is scope. The scope is user identities are, let's say, in your Microsoft Active Directory and you want them, those users to be able to log into Nexcloud. The usual step what you are doing is you set up Nexcloud that involves typically a Linux server like Debian or Ubuntu, you install Nexcloud on it, you do all the configuration, you do all the configuration for the L of setup and AD, and finally the user can log in. This typically I estimate would take you one to two hours depending on your environment, the configuration there on your know-how and basically the limits on this. And the challenges are, those are all limited steps, those manual steps there can be quite error-prone and know-how about LDAP and Active Directory is quite helpful for doing such setups. So now let's change some prerequisites for it. The scope is the same and what you change is you download the Nexcloud appliance from the Nexcloud website and this appliance is based on Unvention Corporate Server which is basically a Debian derivative and the advantage here is Unvention Corporate Server already includes all the connections, all the things that you need to connect to an Active Directory server or do other things what I will come up later. The estimated effort for this setup is about 20 minutes and afterwards all the users that you have in your Active Directory can log in to Nexcloud. Benefits here is different scenarios are possible later more and Nexcloud is already configured so that all the users can log in through the central identity management and you can really manage them centrally in your environment. And the scenarios are as you see here the first one that may come up to most of them is a few is you have the appliance based on UCS in an Active Directory environment where UCS is just part of an Active Directory that's called an AD member. You can use all the users that are in your Active Directory system and they can log in. The second option is you want to there are different reasons you want to have two separate domains and just use the users and the groups that are in your Active Directory and you synchronize them to the appliance or to UCS and have two separate environments. The third one is a standalone installation which comes by default when you do not change any settings during the setup and the fourth one is you can even use the appliance or UCS itself Univention Corporate Server to migrate your working and running Active Directory environment and migrate it to Univention Corporate Server and do a drop in replacement without going to your, let's say, Windows clients and changing some settings there you can just change it in place. What we are using here on this is basically everything you know from that world is SAMBO4, LDAP, Kerberos and all this technology that is out there and it's integrated in UCS and next cloud benefits from it because it's just integrated with UCS and using it from there. So that's all for me, just go to the website of next cloud and download the appliance and try it out.


The Columbia Broadcasting System presents a thrilling new adventure series starring Dick Powell. I'm an insurance investigator. My name is Johnny Daller. What? You heard me, Johnny Daller. And I can pad an expense account with the best of them. Yep, I'm a freelance insurance investigator, and I live in Hartford, Connecticut. At least that's where I pay rent. My work sees to it that I really live anywhere, except at home. I'm free, white, with 34 and so forth. If you're interested in buying me Christmas presents, I take a size 42 suit. Shirts 15 and a half collar, sleeve length 33. My hat size is 7 and 8, except when I wind up a successful case, then it runs about 7 and 3 8s. At insurance investigation, I'm just an expert. At making out my expense account, I'm an absolute genius. Expense account, submitted by Investigator Johnny Daller. To Home Office, East Coast Underwriters, Terminal Building, Hartford, Connecticut. Attention, Austin Farnsworth, General Manager. The following is an accounting of my expenditures and the investigation of Milford Brooks, the third for your company. Expense account item one, cab fare to your office and answer to your original call, 75 cents. Tip to driver, $1. Expense account item two, shoe shine, 25 cents. You'll remember I got my shoes scuffed when I unsuspectingly walked into your private office. Milford, no, you must have a boy.  Dollar. You're always in that window. Don't do this job. No, no, no, you don't. Let go of me. Let go of me. No, no, there are better ways of making a big splash in life. Don't worry. Nice try, sonny. Now pay attention to the teacher. Didn't know I had it on me. Oh, goodness gracious, dollar. Did you have to hit him so hard? I hope we haven't killed him. He's in too strong, you know. Don't worry. There.  That, sir, is Milford Brooks, the third. His policy with his company is in the amount of $2 million. Wow, yes. And the boy seems bent on committing suicide. Dollar, I want you to stop him.  Anything, anything. The conditions of his policy are such we would be forced to meet with a claim in the event of his suicide. Oh, I say, dollar, sitting on his head that way, aren't you in danger of smothering the boy? Smothering him doesn't worry me, but these crew haircuts don't make very comfortable cushions. I'll move down a little. Now, there. OK, OK.  What else? One half hour ago, Milford Brooks walked into this office and changed the beneficiary in his policy. Then, sir, he proceeded to demand, not request, mind you, but demand a loan of $500,000. Quite a touch. When I explained to him that there were no provisions for a loan in his policy, he threatened suicide. Which would cost you $2 million? So all we have to do is keep him alive, huh? And he's managed to make that no small problem. His choice of a new beneficiary is downright frightening one of the most notorious gamblers in the East. His name is Hatcher, Harold Hatcher. Ouch. Oh, do you know him? Sure. That kid's been a post office pinup boy for a lot of years. Well, that's the situation. I'm engaging you to protect Milford Brooks' future. Dollar, I want you to protect the boy. Give him something to live for. You know, an interest in life. An interest in life? Well, let's see. Oh, I know here. This should help. What's that you've got there? It's what's commonly referred to in the more successful of bachelor circles as my little black book. Well, now, let's see. Ruby? No, no. Her favorite expression is a drop dead. Bernadine? No. She'd be the new beneficiary by midnight. Oh, dear. Now, here, here. Here's the one, Butter. Say, Farnsworth, would you mind passing me that phone? The one with the long cord? Oh, no, no. I still bust it. My little friend here is showing signs of life. Here you are. Maybe you should let him breathe a bit more. Don't worry, don't worry. He'll be all right. Hello. Oh, hello. I want to call New York. Yeah, yeah. Hudson 24292. Dollar, you're not thinking of taking this boy to New York, are you? Well, I'm going there myself. You want me to keep an eye on him, don't you? Now, don't fret, Farnsworth. All is not lost. You do worry me, sitting on his chest that way. Hello? Hello, oh, Butter? This is Johnny. Yeah, I'll be in town tonight. I want to see you. And look, here's what I want you to do. Yes, yes, it's all right to say over the telephone. Now, I want you to reserve a table at the hatchery in my name for 10 o'clock tonight. Will you do that? OK, I'll see you at your apartment in a few hours. Well, honey, I can't make it any earlier.  OK, goodbye. I'm not sure that I agree with your methods. Huh? Ow! What's the matter? Did he hit you? Hit me? He bit me. Expense account, item three. Liquor, $18. Keeping Milford Brooks the third peaceful seemed to be the immediate problem. And a bottle of rare old brandy seemed to be the immediate answer. I poured most of it into him. And by the time he started to tick again, he'd gone through the unusual process of going to sleep sober and waking up enchanted. I loaded him into my car, and we headed for New York. As we passed through New Haven, he opened one eye, looked up, saw the Yale Bowl, and gave three cheers for old Eli. Ray, Ray! Old Yale would sure be proud of you. Why anybody would want to insure you for $2 million is more than I can figure. My daddy loved me very much. And my mother loved me very much. Now that's nice. And not only that, but I love somebody very much. And not only that, but I hate somebody very much. That's interesting. You know something? Next to one of a guy.  Oh, here, lover boy, it's a cocktail hour again. Time for your bottle. Rolling along the Merritt Parkway, I felt very much alone with my thoughts. And believe me, they weren't very pleasant company. The way it stacked up for me, Brooks had built up a fat gambling debt with Harold Hatcher and had been forced into making him his beneficiary. The suicide threat that he was holding over the insurance company was a little tougher to figure, unless he was trying to finance a trip for himself to get away from the man with a murder motive, Hatcher. My hungry little mind nibbled away on those unsavory morsels of food for thought all the way to Butter's apartment. Hey, where are you taking me? I want to go to New York. If you don't behave, Buster, I'll punch your ticket. Johnny, darling, welcome to New York. Well, that's as fast as ship I ever had. Quiet. Well, where did you find this? In a box of cracker jack. Let us in, dear. I don't know about you. Some men bring me flowers, some bring me candy. What do you bring me? A boiled owl and a Brooks Brothers suit. Pleased to meet you. Let's trot him into the bedroom, honey. Look more at home in the bathtub. I need to pull down the cupper. All right, now come on, Buster. Lie down. Charm, charm, charm, charm. Ah, that kid's liquor sure can hold him. How long have you been playing nursemaid to this bottle, baby? Get behind that bar, sweet, and I'll tell you all about it. Sure. Horrible examples don't seem to bother you, do they? If you knew how that guy has been bothering me. What did he do to you? Well, let's just say he put the bite on me. Oh, gosh, the river sure does look pretty tonight. Bourbon and soda? Now, please, anything but brandy. I've been sniffing that second hand all the way from Hartford. Butter, see that big boat out there? Oh, I sure would like to be on it with you sailing off to faraway, romantic places. Get with it, darling. That's the 125th Street ferry. Oh. Here's your drink. Come on now. Tell Butter all about it. So friend Bourbon and I proceeded to tell her all about it. It wasn't easy. Everything about it kept flagging down my train of thought. The longer she looked at me, the less I wanted of Milford Brooks III. And the more I wanted of beautiful Butter the first, and only. She was a sympathetic listener to my story until I gave her the answer to her first and only question. And where do I fit into all this? Well, baby, I thought you understood. My job is to give this poor, misguided boy something to live for. That's you. Well. Now, honey, hold everything. Don't go getting your corn all popped. You, you misunderstand. I really mean it. I thought if he'd just got a look at you and realized that things like you exist, why, you'd make any man glad to be alive. Come on now, Butter. Melt a little. I wouldn't let anything happen to you. You know that. Did I hurt you? Oh, no. I'm getting used to it. People have been taking pokes at me all day. I'm sorry. That's better. You want some more bourbon? Uh-uh.  Well, help yourself. Honey, it's getting late. Let's make this the last drink. What time is it? No, it's 20 to 10. My reservation at the hatchery is for 10. Here. Thank you. Cigarette? Oh, empty. Some more out in the other room. I'll get it. I'd love to get you on a slow boat to China. Johnny. Coming. He's gone. What? Well, he can't be. But he is. The window's wide open. Oh, the fire escape.  Trading three drinks of bourbon for $2 million on the hoof. Oh, that's the biggest bar check I ever picked up. That's a big bar check for anyone to pick up. As a matter of fact, it's a bigger bar check than you've ever heard of anyone picking up before. And that should give you an idea of what to expect in the second act as you follow this new CBS series starring Dick Powell in the title role, yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Well, nobody could say I wasn't working fast. I'd only been in town for an hour, and I'd already succeeded in losing Bill's books a third. I spent another hour of his all too short life expectancy unsuccessfully shaking down the neighborhood for him. And then feeling very much like a bloodhound that had flunked his sniffing exam, I went back to Butter's apartment. Oh, sure, plenty of luck. All bad. Is there anything I can do to help? A kiss for luck. What are you going to do? Nothing. Just a little phone call. This is Johnny Dollar. Give me missing persons. Any particular one? Don't be a wise guy. Lieutenant Fisher. Yes. Fisher, this is Johnny Dollar. One man, my mind, and if I'm not careful, my professional reputation. The guy's name is Brooks, Milford the third. Got anything on him? Hold on. All right. Don't look at me like that. Wasn't all my fault. Dollar, we haven't found him yet, but we think we know where he is. Huh? The Hudson River. At 11.15 tonight, his top coat, complete with identification, was found taking a ride on the 125th Street ferry. Anything else? Nothing much. Package of matches was found under the coat monogram. You don't happen to know anybody whose initials are HH, do you? HH? It's always Horace Hyde. Thanks, Fisher. I'll check back with you later. I'll be here. HH, Harold Hatcher. Are you mumbling about bad news? Looks like about $2 million bucks worth. They found Milford's coat on the 125th Street ferry. You and your faraway romantic places. Very funny. I'll see you later, honey, and maybe about 11. Expense account item four, nightclubs, $28. Harold Hatcher's hatchery was in a cellar under a hotel, but the prices were high enough to raid a pet house. The club was draped in too much satin. It's lady customers in too little. The decor was French provincial. The music was Brazilian, and the food was from Dixie. The drinks looked weak, and the waiters looked strong. All in all, the joint was a sight for sore eyes, for making them sore. The only pretty thing in the place was a blonde.  She opened her mouth, slid her tongue over her lower lip, and let a few warm, soft words slide out. Looking for someone? Well, you'll do until the real thing comes along. Salon. Thanks. I won't have a drink. I didn't ask you. My name is Janelle. Janelle? Wow. That's a nice name. I understand you were asking about Mr. Hatcher. And I asked if he was in. The waiter said he wasn't. Do you know him? More than someone. What do you want to see him by? A mutual friend, Milford Brooks. I know most of the quiet, closed boys around here, so you want a cup. You don't look like the type that would be a society friend of the Brooks family. So what are you? I'll adore that one. Does Hatcher around? He might be. Then come on, where's his office? At the top of those stairs. Can I expect any trouble getting in? You won't have any trouble. How do you know? Because Harold sent me down here to look you over. Oh. I think you're all right. So I've won myself the good housekeeping seal of approval, huh? Keeping a house with you would meet with my approval. I ran for my life at a slow walk up the stairs. When I located the door to Hatcher's office, I knocked once in wet end. Thanks. Oh, I'm Johnny Dollar. I was hired by East Coast underwriters to protect the interest of a kid named Milford Brooks III. Now, what's that supposed to mean to me? You know him, don't you? Well, he isn't exactly one of my boozen buddies. How much money does he owe you? Now, we've got him on the books for a few, Bob Wine. They picked up his top coat tonight on the 125th Street ferry. He wasn't in it. It might have been suicide. It might have been a knockover made to look like a suicide. What's your choice? What do you get off asking me about my choice? Where were you between 11 and 1130 tonight? What's it to you? I thought you might like to rehearse some answers. The law will be asking some questions real soon now. I don't know why I should tell you, but I was driving around in my car getting some air. Oh, now you'll have to do better than that. They found one of your match folders under Brooks' coat. You're out of your mind. Let me ask you. The kid owed me a couple of hundred thousand.   Don't worry about it. I know. What about that insurance policy? What insurance policy? Now, look, Hatcher, we're big boys. We both know that changing a beneficiary in an insurance policy is a legal transaction. That means witnesses. That means it isn't secret. What are you talking about? That you and East Coast underwriters and I all know that books made you the beneficiary in his policy and that you stand to come into 2 million bucks when they fish out his body. I don't know anything about it. Motives don't come much bigger. I'm telling you, this is all news to me, and you and nobody else is going to make me move off that story. I feel the same about mine. It doesn't take a genius to know that Brooks didn't love your $2 million worth. There's only one logical reason for his making you the beneficiary. You forced him into it. Who'd believe anything else? Who cares? They'd have to prove it. Brother, that can't be done. Now, how would you? Yeah. OK, Rocky, thanks for the news. Take the inspector into the bar and buy him a drink. I'll be right down. Dollar, did you turn me in? They're here, huh? Yeah. No, I didn't turn you in. I'm not a cop. Here, have a cigarette. Thanks. Here's a light. Well, come on. Maybe they just want to sell me some tickets to the policeman's ball. For a guy in a hot spot, Hattie was certainly a cool customer. I followed him out of the office, down the stairs, and back into the club. Janelle was sitting there, right where I'd left her. And I thought to myself, now, there's a gal who should never sit down. She looks so pretty standing up. Janelle, buy Mr. Dollar a drink. I have to go play 20 questions with some fellas in the bar. Sure, baby. Anything you say, anything. I'll see you, darling. Yeah. How'd you make eye? Well, you can never tell about a guy like that. He's a smart boy, strong, silent type. Wouldn't talk, huh? A real close-mouth act. About what? Oh, just a little doodad. $2 million life insurance policy. Wait a minute. A young Brooks kid? That's right. I knew it. Tried to tell him he'd get into trouble, but he wouldn't listen to me. Oh, you knew about it, huh? I suppose you also know what was behind it. Sure, Milford owed him some money. A lot of money. It's in writing. What kind of writing? The personal note that Brooks was going to get back if he made Harold beneficiary. Oh, where is this note? Oh, I look like the kind of girl who'd put the finger on her boyfriend. You look, though, like the kind of girl who'd do anything if you wanted to. Thanks. I'll give you a slight hint. It's in his office. You'll find it in the inside pocket of one of his suits in the wardrobe. What are you waiting for? I'll watch the bar. Nothing, sweetheart. Nothing at all.  And I was going to try awful hard not to let her down. Back in Hatch's office, I found myself alone in a room with a telephone. And being a guy who can never resist a free call, I unleashed the magic wonders of the AT&T. Quiet, butter. I've only got a few seconds. It seems that's all you ever have for me. Now if you think about it. Now look, Angel, Angel, just another hour. I'll get you a nice present. I don't care. Life presents a gloomy picture ever downward toward the tomb. Having wasted those few precious moments of an already misspent youth, I decided I'd better get on my pony before Mr. Hatch has showed up. I found Milford Brooks's personal note in one of Hatch's suits, all right. As a matter of fact, I found something in all his suits. A great big glimmer of light. Expense account, item five. Taxi fare, $10. I left the office in a hurry. Janelle at her table and Hatcher at his bar. I got out of the club and into a taxi park to half block down the street. There, I waited until my favorite suspect left the hatchery and piled into another cab and off we went. On a chase, it would have made Ben Herl look like a plowing bee. We skittered over to Lexington and headed uptown. At 72nd, the cab turned right and pulled to a stop. My driver was on his toes, and his toes were on his brake. We stopped two, half a block behind.  Now, here you are. Keep the change. It was a garage that belonged to a residence on the parallel street a block away. The living quarters upstairs were dark enough to look interesting. I indulged in a bit of gin-teal breaking and entering. Entering that old barn didn't take much breaking. I crept up the stairs. It sounded like they were left over from an old ghost story. And so did the first voice I heard when I stopped halfway up. We've got to be careful, especially about that Johnny dollar. Are you sure he didn't follow you? That voice sounded awfully dry to be coming from a guy who supposedly had spent most of the night snoozing in the bottom of the Hudson River. It was Milford Brooks III. Get up on your feet, Brooks. Now, wait a minute, I hear. I started this thing slugging you, and I might as well finish it the same way. Leave him alone. Now, pull in the claws, Angel. And sit on his lap.  I should have known better than to get mixed up with a low-class female like you. Why, you punk. Now, hold it. We pushed the lady around enough, Brooks. Tell me to be careful, will you? Why didn't you think of that before you let him here?   Neither one of you are exactly what I'd call masterminds. When you planted that match folder on a little boy blue bloods top coat on the ferry boat, you both should have been more careful. You think so. You bet I think so. If I were planning a piece of evidence to incriminate Mr. Harold Hatcher, I would have left the cigarette lighter. I found one in the pocket of every sooty owned back there in his closet in the club. It wasn't hard to figure out that that guy never carries a book of matches. What do you want? I'm only interested in one thing. Saving the insurance company $2 billion. And Buster, I think you've done it for me. Dollar, I am. This is insurance fraud. It has been, ever since you put on that fake suicide attempt, trying to start $500,000 out of the company. Dollar, wait a minute. Ah, come on. We're leaving. You heard it. I said, wait a minute. He wants to talk. Yeah. Everybody wants to get in on the act. How did you get here? When the police in this town think maybe a guy's jumped off a ferry boat and nobody's seen him do it, they check the counters on the turnstiles at each end. In the case of Brooks, as many people got off, that boat has got on. Now, that makes sense. They'd hardly hold the guy because somebody lost the top coat. How did you know we were here? You know me, baby. You never go anyplace I don't know about. OK, Brooks, you felt like talking. Now I feel like listening.  Well, I don't know what you mean. I know what you mean, Hatcher.  And two, he did his best to make it look like you did murder him with that broken down match cover plant on the ferry boat. It's just that simple. And you, baby? Harold, please. You put him up to it, didn't you? You cheap little mussel trying to get rid of me, will you? No. Calm down, Hatcher. You don't need any gun around here. They're tame. Well, maybe I'm not. Since so many people have gone to so much trouble to hand me a nice, easy way to make $2 million, maybe I'll just go ahead and make it. I'll show these amateurs how these things are really done. Come on, Brooks. Would you like to go for a nice, cool, half a ferry boat ride? No, Hatcher. No. Look, it's her fault. I'll give you anything you want. You're wrong, sonny boy. You're going to give me everything. No. No. You can't. Let me out of here. Brooks bolted for the door. Hatcher snapped a shot at him.  The gun flew out of his hand. No, you don't. I beat him to it and swung it straight into his skull. Half the people in the room are lying there bleeding. Brooks from gunshot, Hatcher from gun butt. Janelle and I stood there panting. But believe me, not for each other. We stood that way until the police arrived. Dollar, it's beyond me. I sent you out to protect the life of a very important policy holder. And now where are we?  As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Farnsworth, you're only half right. I'm just standing in a hospital corridor. Oh, dollar, you're heartless. Well, if you'd been bitten where he bit me, you wouldn't care if he lived or died either. I'm getting out of here. Well, where are you going? It'll be explained in my expense account under Ms. Lainey's expense. Don't fall over when you come to an item for $318. $318 for what? Not for what, Farnsworth. For whom? Expense account total. And it all adds up to a little matter of $1,182.23. Which you may say, Mr. Farnsworth, there's a lot of money for one man to spend in two days. But you must bear in mind that the amount of stake was $2 million. And you know the price of stake these days. It might comfort you to know that I just returned from the hospital. Brooks was strong enough to make a full statement, which you will find enclosed. This in itself should prove sufficient to establish evidence of a template fraud against your company, allowing you to immediately avoid his policy. It boils down to one sentence to wit. Brooks and Janell wanted to get rid of Hatcher so that they could live happily ever after. Knowing those two, they never had a chance. And oh, yes, that Ms. Lainey's item, the one for $318, it was a bracelet for a certain party who made this special investigation for me very special.  Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. So with the final signature on his expense account, Dick Powell as Johnny Dollar has just closed the books on his first adventure in this new CBS series. The script for tonight's broadcast was written by Paul Dudley and Gil Dowd. And the music was created and conducted by Dick around. The entire production was under the direction of Tony Leader. Be sure to tune in again next week when the expense account covers special investigation Singapore, another unusual adventure starring Dick Powell in truly Johnny Dollar. This is CBS, the Columbia Broadcasting System.


This is kinda unbelievable. I mean, how did CNN allow this on the air? It completely debunks the media, the Democrats and binds claims of voter suppression and the need for the deceptively named voting rights bill. This should end all of it, but we know it won't. As he has thus far presented voting rights as a morally right or morally decrepit choice, the side of right or the side of racism. First of all, because more people voted than ever before in the last election, so to just broadly talk about voter suppression may miss that very crucial point. New York is one of the most reliably democratic states in the United States, and New York requires people to request absentee ballot. Just like the new Georgia law does, Georgia allows anyone to request an absentee ballot. New York does not. New York is actually more restrictive. There are specific guidelines as to who can request an absentee ballot. New Yorkers voted down a constitutional amendment that would allow anyone to request an absentee ballot. And let's take a look at early voting. Georgia, the new law, allows for 17 days of early voting. New York only has not.


I think Korea or China. That's enough of Sony. Shoot up this one too. That's a 30. What are you going to title this? Who's who in America? Or someone who's at the U.N.? I want to see him. I'll do a few of them. Very few. I'll ask you a question.


Three, three, three, I say, three term contingency, antecedent, behavior, consequence, right? So an antecedent and a behavior and a consequence is the three term contingency, if you'd like to define it further and be more specific, it is a discriminative stimulus, also known as an SD, it is a response, also known as an R, also known as a behavior, right? And then there is some sort of consequence over here, which is a reinforcer, a punisher, extinction, which would be nothing, right? So anyway, the point is three terms, it's a contingency, which is that if, then statement, that rule that we've talked about previously, the point being that that three term contingency explains a whole bunch of behavior, but just so you know, just so the experts out there that know everything there is to know about three term contingencies and behavior also know that I do know there are things that are four term and possibly five term contingencies. There can even be contingencies of contingencies, which we call meta contingencies, which gets really fun. Thank you, Sigrid. Anyway, that's all there is to it, three term contingency helps explain behavior. Think of it as antecedent behavior, consequence, goodbye.


What what a vacation week it's been honey. Yeah, so we we flew out a week ago actually Because it's Thursday. We flew out a week ago to to go to Atlanta and we was Jay's son a Justin and His fiance Tamara their wedding was Weekend and so the wedding was actually Friday night rehearsal dinner was Thursday and We flew in Thursday, so thankfully we didn't have any major delays We were really worried about that because you know or luggage lost, you know, you get all your trust clothes I don't know if you even thought of that idea Anyways the wedding was really nice the rehearsal dinner was excellent it was It was just it was just extra special and Jay did the toast and he did an awesome job doing the toast and Yeah, you spoke to your heart Did do a faux-par you want to tell them about the faux-par you did Whoa, where we going honey go this way?

Yeah, what did you say about Kansas? I just the company that I used to work for was a farm equipment manufacturer of Heston, Kansas. Yep. Heston Corporation And then you ended up talking about I talked about an Irish blessing my dad and Mentioned to me many years ago. So I brought my dad into it who passed away very young and then I gave the New England blessing or the McGillicuddy blessing So that's where I talked about the different sports and that went off very well. So yeah, it was it was extra special And I'm interested in close a couple of pitches here Jay's stepfather Barbara came up from Florida and so we get a picture of Jay and Barbara and Justin And then my niece the next day arrived and my niece Caitlin and her husband Travis arrived So show a couple of clips from the wedding not too much, but we were really we had a nice time We sat with Barbara and Caitlin and Travis and it was just a really nice wedding and the next day. We just Did nothing We kind of beat around Breakfast we had breakfast I don't think we did much of anything And because it's Atlanta, right, you know, it's a big city So then Sunday morning Jay and I took off and we drove to Savannah and Driving down to Savannah. The ride was pretty uneventful. I thought we arrived. We got into our hotel I'm gonna put this clip in here of our hotel. So you can see what it was like I you know, I wanted to have a view of the I don't know if I'm ever gonna get back to Savannah It was beautiful, but I don't know if I'm ever gonna get back to it And I wanted to stay where it was one night. I wanted my room to have a balcony And I wanted to have the river view. So we did that We got our room with the balcony. You can see us miss me walking through Kind of showing the room and the balcony and the river views and all that stuff. It was really nice and then Hobbit on that way and then That night we went out with Caitlin and Travis. We went to the bohemian We had drinks on the rooftop bar in the bohemian, which was really kind of cool. And then we ended up having I don't know if you're going the right way babe And then we ended up having dinner at the rocks down in the bohemian So it was really nice. We sat there for hours just jibber jabbering getting quiet up and Enjoying a couple of drinks and dinner and then they walked us all folks back to our hotel because we were at the Marriott, but on the other end of the Riverwalk and The Caitlin and Travis were at the JW Marriott on the other end. So they walked us down to our hotel and it was I thought it was a perfect cap of the of the weekend and Then we came to Hilton Head. So we've been in Hilton Head. We're filming this today I will share a couple of clips from our early a couple of days We did we didn't what did we do when we arrived? We kind of went down to how do you call that park Colligny Colligny Colligny Park, which is about a mile down the beach from us So we walked that night down to Colligny Park and walked all around the stores Which I thought we were just walking the beach. Yeah, I well when I said that it was there I said let's go up and explore that so we did that and that was pretty cool and then I Think we walked back. So that first night we had a good almost like a three mile Walking around the stores and all that back to the hotel back to our Airbnb, which is a condo one bedroom condo It's very small. It could use some updating without a doubt. It's dated But you know, I mean, I've been sleeping really good surprisingly It feels like it's a very soft mattress, but it's probably more of a memory foam Yeah, this is the way you're gonna go. We're trying to find a way to harbour town and Jake offed one morning. I walked on the beach. I love walking the flat beach I thought it was really really awesome nice long flat stretch of sand and We're not here for you know much longer because we only did a Monday to Saturday Saturday We fly out and go home and stays Thursday. So I'm gonna share some clips from harbour town as we go through I'll add them in and Yeah, so this is sort of like a vlog and we'll see what rest of it that I share in this video I love the Spanish moss On these trees, which is a good so cool Nail files. That's cute I wonder if Jay would like that. So we made our way. What is this place called? Harbour town? No, I know but this golf course Harbour town. Oh harbour town golf links or whatever and Jay watches these guys on YouTube that he follows and they played here right those two Yep So, um, yeah, so we're just sitting here on the veranda Really pretty veranda, and we're probably going side to the First shop for him. Hi, man. So we've been doing the tourist bit Can't I can't tell you how impressed I am with how clean everything is And I know it's a pricey pricey area and all that but It's just been really pretty I had to leave Jay outside Don't kill me if I post this Yeah, you will, but I will. Here we are Trying to open up the very special brew that was to that and Justin and Tamara much 26 20 20 and Justin Oh Well, yeah, it was supposed to be 20 20, but 20 21 You think it's pretty good your home, bro. Yeah, different different. Yeah Not used to that flavor, but tastes good, you know ever since basically COVID hit I have been so struggling with my diet one excuse after another, you know, so a Couple of Days like maybe a week before we left to come down to Georgia, we started taking apple cider vinegar tablets and gummies Anyways, there's a number of different gummies on the market for sure, but the combination and this is I think or a thick This is something that actually was recommended by Sheila who knew somebody that was using this and In her friend said the stuff was really great. So I ended up ordering it from Amazon Got it like the, you know, just like maybe of the week before it came really quick and We've been taking it I swear This has helped me with my appetite, but more importantly, it's helped me with my energy level and I I just feel really good with it. I you know, I've been walking the beach a lot We are on a second floor condo and there is an elevator, but it's way on the other side of the complex So we lugged all our luggage up and Up and down these stairs granted. It's only two floors, but it's a lot more stair climbing than I'm used to so These and they taste good. There's a bunch of different ingredients in this particular brand as opposed to some of the others I think it's this combination that's been really awesome So I've been I've been very much To the point where if I can get a good Wi-Fi connection tonight I am going to order some of these because they were so good The other thing that has really helped and I do have 50% off of this So I'll make sure you guys You can do that if you order the get maku MAKU go to their website if you want Monica 50 Monica MO and I k a 50 anyways if you are into CBD and you like a good clean CBD and Just a good quality CBD this is 5,000 milligrams they have they have the lower ones if you want This is what I prefer. I use this on my face. I've been using it to sleep better and Jay loves the stuff. He loves CBD. He uses it for his joint pain We also have a realm CBD. I don't have them the tube here, but the realm CBD is They roll on and it's a tropical more and it works really Wonderfully if you have any kind of an aching pain, you know for a short-term fix I mean the CBD is a short-term fix.   I just believe in this product So Yeah tonight. We're going out. We're gonna walk the beach through the beach behind me I think it's an optical illusion that it looks further away. Of course the tide is out right now The beach is actually pretty close So we're gonna go down the beach and we're gonna walk over to a park Where there is a Caligri park or whatever where there's a Bunch of restaurants and whatnot and there's also a holiday in there We can go into there into that restaurant. So we're just gonna have a casual dinner tonight and Enjoy the evening. The sun is out. It's just beautiful here. It's chilly though. I had to go buy a sweatshirt. I went into Belks Belk I'd never been into a belt before and I went into Belk and I bought a sweatshirt I bought these earrings. I just fell in love with them. I thought they were the stinking cutest little things Yeah, so that's what I bought. You know, I feel like an advertisement Well, maybe I am but All these years, you know sunblock and I always kind of dread all the different sunblocks I have to use because they just don't come off easy But since I've been using peaches, I actually packed it to bring it with me here on this trip and this is normally I don't pack a whole lot of cleanser I have a little travel size of serenity that I usually bring but I love this stuff so much I had to bring it with me and I Kid you not it's like the only thing that takes my sunblock off my face at the end of the day. It is so So good so so good peaches skin care. Thank you. Thank you, Lisa Happy Friday everyone. Happy Friday today is our last full day here on Hilton Head Island and It's been really kind of like Very relaxing but way colder than I thought it would be we actually I actually have to go out and buy a heavy sweatshirt Because I it was warmer back in New Hampshire than it's been in Hilton Head this morning I walked the beach and went for a nice long walk. I don't know if you can tell how how ferocious the waves are out There's pretty wave pretty wavy. The wind is cold and the temperature I don't know how cold it is, but I suppose might be off Walking the beach, but it was really nice and I came back. I took a shower. I just been puttsing J Is golfing? I'm not too sure what we're going to do today, but I think I'm gonna end the vlog Before it gets super long and because I know it will and maybe I'll do a part two Sunday is Easter. We're gonna arrive pretty we're gonna be arriving home Saturday and So I may upload this Saturday if I have enough Wi-Fi to do it I don't think I'll upload it Sunday, but in the event that you see this before Easter I wish all of you a very happy Easter those of you that that celebrate of course and I just hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

I truly appreciate every single one of you I am so thankful for sunblock skincare because Even though it's been cold And I certainly haven't done any beach You know combing other than walking I haven't done any beach Sunday thing. I should say The Sun is pretty hot. So yeah, I'm pretty thankful for good skin care sunblock You name it and I love will be our I love that I have this little deck here It's an Airbnb Link the website below if anyone's ever planning a trip. It's very it's affordable and Yeah, at least this time of year. I don't know what it would be, you know peak season But I love the deck, you know, the deck is what makes it I would rather be in a smaller unit with less frills and have a view than to be in a Ho-chowl that has all the frills in no view. That's me. That's my preference. So anyways guys Thank you so much for watching. Hope you have a wonderful weekend a wonderful holiday and I'll catch you next time On our last morning, I got a pretty sunrise It wasn't very very dramatic, but it was really a pretty way to start our day and After breakfast, we decided to head down to Tabby Island where we just walked around and explored and Had some fun.

I really appreciate all your support I hope you had a wonderful holiday and no we didn't go shark fishing, but we had a great time Bye-bye


Hello there, my name is Lucy Ellis and I'm the Museum Collections Manager at the Society of Antiquaries and I want to tell you about a new project that we're launching which is to help us digitise and transcribe the seal card index that we have for a very extensive collection. We have around 10,000 seal casts and seal matrices and these are currently cataloged using an old school card index and I want to thank at this point the London Museum Development Digital Futures Grant for allowing us access to this wonderful scanner that is going to absolutely revolutionise how we do this project. So I wanted to demonstrate a little bit about how this scanner works with our index cards. I should say at this point this is one of the draws. We have about six of these draws and each card has an awful lot of information about each seal and it is the only resource we really have on the collection so it is incredibly important. So what I'll do is I'll just show you, demonstrate how wonderful this machine is. Let's pop that in. And you should be able to see shortly on the screen, there we go. Some of the scans are coming up on the screen now and you can see the speed at which it's going, it's quite phenomenal. And what this project is going to do is it's going to take these images of these card index catalogs and put them online using micro-pasts. And through there we would like to encourage you to log on, sign up, make a profile and help us to transcribe this. So what will happen is that you'll see a screen outlining different boxes, different areas of a card and we'd like you just to type what you can see. So let's pull up an image again. So on this image here you can see that there's a main bit of text at the top that needs to go in a box, a letter and a number that needs to go in a box too and then all of this is sort of broken down into different boxes which we'd like you to complete. And at the bottom there'll be a very crucial box which is comments and it's if you can't see or you don't understand what it says please just let us know. So this project will be launching soon. I appreciate your help because it will save us an awful lot of time and it's also a really fantastic collection that not a lot of people know about and it will really help to put us out there. Thank you very much.
