that my dogs would start barking just at this very second, but they just want to just say hi. So hi Azure. Hi Julie. Hello to our friends who are watching. Hi wiki tree people out in Cyberland. It's good to have you here. Today we're going to talk about the wiki tree browser extension and give you a little tour of some of our favorite features and the things that we find most useful. So Azure is going to do a little driving for us in a little bit, but I'm going to first show you the um now we're going to go into the land of infinity here first. So the wiki tree browser extension is a collaboration from a number of our members who are developers and they got together and talked about all the different features that people always request in the G2D form and elsewhere and they decided to do a little updating for us on wiki tree since you know we're free. We don't have a lot of development. We don't have any development funds or staff, so we have one person who does our programming for us and keeps everything looking neat and tidy, but we don't have a lot of extra to go into adding extra features in that. So our very generous community members got together and developed this extension for us and it adds a lot of functionality to wiki tree that we would not otherwise have. So this is the space page that outlines what it what our extension is and you can get instructions on installing it in this section. So we've linked to this space page in the description of this video. You can click over and learn how to get it installed on your browser. It works on Chrome and Firefox and there is a version that works on Safari, but it's not quite you know stable as the others are so you kind of use that you know and understand that some of the things might not work the same yet as the rest of the browsers do. So go back over here and if you have questions during our presentation here this morning go ahead and post them in the comments and we will come back to that at the end and do a little question and answer session when we're done. So right now Asher's going to drive and we're going to talk a little bit about some of the handier options that we have available through the browser. Asher if you give me just one second I'm going to go ahead and show one thing here before it gets started or maybe you are going to do this but I'm going to go ahead and pop this up here. I have the extension installed up here in the toolbar and if I click on that you will see all the options and they're grouped and so what we're basically going to do today is we're going to walk through a number of these and just show you the how they work and what they do to the different appearances of the profile or tools that you can use. I don't see it it's not showing that. It didn't show oh really? So I'm in the browser extension space page if I click on my extension it's not popping up there. Yeah. Huh interesting okay Streamer thank you. You want me to show it? Okay. Sure. I'm going to try so it works for you. So here it is. This is the this so I'm in Safari now so just give you what the options are. So Julie was in Chrome and this is Safari and it's also up at the top of the browser window the little wiki treason icon logo is showing there. If you click on that it's going to give you all your options and there's navigation across the top here where you can access the different sections which are they show they show on the space page for the browser extension. It kind of follows the same kind of outline I think so that's really nice. Yeah it's just fun to go in here and play with all of these you can turn them off and turn them on and kind of get familiar with what they do. Yeah and we're going to do that for you today too but definitely take the opportunity to go play with it you'll you'll find some really nice functionality in here. So one thing first I'll go ahead. One of the things I really love that was one of the changes that got made was that they added to oops I didn't mean to do that sorry everybody if you go up to the find menu they have right there at the top an apps sub menu for us. So right right from any page in the find menu you can access all of the apps that have been developed by wikitree members for wikitree or for use with wikitree and so down here at the bottom because it's alphabetical is the link for the wikitree browser extension takes you right there. So I love that that was all handy I always had that saved as a frequently used link on my navigation home page before but now I don't have to have it on there it's right on the find a menu. Yep okay so the next thing we're ready to move on is the clipboard and notes options which I use every day. See you really that's awesome I know it's so feature-rich that I just I love it so if you this is a new profile I'm creating and I've saved in my notes right here you can see I've saved some citations that I can click on the clipboard and it saves it for you. Oh first I was going to show the clipboard sorry let me put the cursor where it needs to be here down in the biography so there it goes just right from there you just from the clipboard if you click on what you want to paste in it paste it right in there for you but for the notes app or option if you click on notes you have to click the little clipboard icon here that stores it in your system clipboard and so you'll need to use it right away that didn't work like I thought it would nope okay maybe it's not working for me on this one do you have to just click on the entry or do you have to yeah I honestly I don't use the notes part very often if if any of you out there use the notes give us some ideas on what you use them for because I typically use just the clipboard section I don't use the notes section very often I'm not sure what would differentiate them so it's not putting that on your clipboard what I get in the hey I found a bug I wonder if that's because you're on Firefox or Safari yeah let me bring over sometimes the different browsers are going to handle the features differently so we get little surprises every once in a while okay I'm just adding the note in there and you'll notice that Azure's notes on Chrome are different from her notes on Safari because the browsers are separate yeah so you're going to have if you use two different browsers you're not going to have the same info on one that you're going to have on the other so that worked yeah it does work in Chrome so it but it is something where it puts it in your it puts it in your system clipboard and then you can paste in so that's so that's how you use that so that's clipboard in notes the next option that we wanted to talk through that's on the browser extension is the draft list so if you maybe are working on a whole family and you are creating new profiles that you want to have those wiki tree ids that you can those new wiki tree ids they can put in the biography of the maybe the parent profile you can add the kids wiki tree profile ids then you can save a draft of the parent profile and to find that draft you go to find menu right here and then right here drafts and that's going to show you all your drafts that you have that you've saved so it's like if you've been working on yeah if you've been working on something and you didn't get a chance to go back and do a full save on it this will show you that where you need to go back to yeah like an interim in an interim save maybe you aren't quite ready to finish it up but you need to step away for a second so just some that's just gives you an option there okay and then the next thing we wanted to show is the google search box so at the bottom of every page on wiki tree now is the ability to do a search so i'm just going to put something in here to test it out and show you we when we were walking through this before we had a lot of fun looking for images i'm putting in my one of my one name study uh names uh surnames and i'm just going to do a search and if you click image up here at the top it's going to show you all the images on wiki tree that have peasley that's fun that's really a lot of fun and there's a lot of peasley images too what looks like yeah so that's another great option you can search help pages um you can search um do a google search from there in categories yeah just lots of lots of options and then um um yeah so let's say you just do a search for sources the first option here showing up is help sources so just gives you an idea of a help page yes let's give you enough options there for search cool all right i love that it's handy yes and i love that it's available on every page right no matter where you're at you don't have to go up it's just a it's just a fraction of a second of time savings but you don't have to go up to the find menu and go in there and then scroll to the it's just handy so the next thing we were going to talk about is let's see the ability to do a preview of a space page so here's a space page link on it on this profile and you can see if you just hover over it it it takes you opens a little box for you to window box for you to look at that space page see what it's all about what's also really nice from here is that you can do you know you have all the functionality to be able to copy the id of the space page you know you can go check it all out so that's yeah thank you you just need to grab the like space page id to paste in somewhere you can have it pop up the preview grab the id and then you don't even have to leave the profile that you're working on exactly the other thing that provides a preview is if you hover over the citation inline citation number for the source preview so that's what i'm showing up on the screen there that's really nice as well because from here if i wanted to actually see the image of this record i could go ahead and click on that and open it up another little time saving all these little things that save time for you yep exactly we love our developers yes they're awesome and there is from the profile id menu drop down there's an option to have a printer friendly biography for you so what that does is it kind of it instead of just doing a regular print you know you go up to file and then print and it shows all the tabs across the top and all that it shows exactly what's on the page this is different in that it it gives it it more like a well print a friendly biography yeah it doesn't include all the menus it's not like printing just the the browser page you don't get all the extra header and menu stuff you just get the contents of the profile yeah which is really nice if you want to if you're going to a family reunion you could make a little booklet of you know different ancestors that you might want highlight what you're there yeah it's just a lot cleaner looking there's that one okay had we had a lot of fun with this before when we were talking through it's the honestly one of my favorite things so from the find menu again if you scroll down here remember everything's alphabetized for easy finding it is an option to get a random profile all right so there we go here's the random profile who knows what's going to show up and I spend a lot of time working on like undated profiles with my Friday date night folks little number of you are already in here um and that's just a really fun way to go I mean you might have to click several times to find one but it's it's a lot of fun to just bring up anybody and see if you can find somebody to work on and of course it's also a good rabbit hole creator yeah exactly okay and then at the top of every profile you can see the distance so this on this profile you can see I'm 17 degrees from this person uh here's another here's another profile where I'm actually related so it will show what the relationship is so right right at the top of any profile as long as they're connected to the global tree you will be able to see what your relationship and connection is to everybody to that profile so that's awesome I love that and another option we'll just go towards the end of the profile here and we can see this profile's connections to the profiles of the week and so you can see here that it's sorting these profiles so this is an option in the wikichu browser extension to show it's sorting it by the distance so if I go up here to the options and I think it's in this section the in the profile section yeah sort theme people here we go so if I turn this off and I refresh the page now it's back to what it was originally so it's just out in a line here right that's what we're used to seeing yeah so that's that's sort theme people option is in the wikichu browser extension is it just a different way to show the connections at the bottom of each profile all right next we wanted to show the category finder pins here's a profile I keep saying these are my favorites but I think I just like them all you know they're all so handy oh I love them too is this crazy okay so I want to add Raymond Washington to this profile because it's a place where he lived so right here hopefully is that big enough you can see um let me see if I can upsize that a little bit more here yeah okay so here it is right here it's going to give you the option for Raymond Washington it's a category that exists out there and if you just click on that it will open up this cat that category so you can see make sure you've got the right place and all that um and you can see the information about that category I found this really really helpful when there's multiple cemeteries with similar names yes and you want to make sure you have the right one that's just really handy it just pops you out into a new tab and you can make sure that it matches up with maybe the if you're looking on find your grade at the category it matches up with the same ID for the cemetery that you're looking at or you know whatever if you're using locations or whatever it's super handy yep and while I'm in this screen I just wanted point out something I love another thing I love is the ability because you know everybody makes mistakes and sometimes you click a radio button and you didn't mean to and you want to leave it blank you can un-select it so select it by accident maybe oh no that's wrong I want to un-select I'm sure we've done that at one time or another yeah yeah it's all it's great great ability there I had one day where my dog bumped my I was sitting on the couch my dog bumped my laptop and I accidentally clicked on something like one of the radio buttons like no and that was before we had the extension I'm like I can't un-click you know I'm gonna have to pick something now it wasn't the one I wanted but exactly so the the other thing while I'm in here is since I'm in an edit screen for a profile is the sticky toolbar for editing meaning it's making it so that the change explanation information sticks at the bottom of the page so it doesn't move around on you oh and then the editing toolbar if you go up to the edit box yeah it scrolls down with you the the little buttons that the bold and italic and all that that will keep going so you don't have to scroll back up to like click the citation button or whatever right yeah all kinds of fun options that were added here too if you'll notice yeah I'm just gonna make save this profile since I'm in there okay and so the next one we wanted to show is when you're adding connecting a profile to an pre-existing profile there hopefully it works I know no it didn't or is this in safari still yeah verify the idea it should have showed up go back one page it should if you do that on the connection page it should pop up right if you do connect and type the thing in there it should pop up a little preview right there right let's see let me just double check here I have another one I can deal with right away if it doesn't work like we expect in this I can do it with the other one now it should have showed it go if you go back I don't know if it's going to do it in safari I know one chrome when you put the ID into the connect box it should pop up a little window to give you preview of whatever that profile is to make sure you have the right one look at how quick Azure is it from browser to browser I don't want to add him to himself but you can see what it's doing right there I mean say you were say you were working on a family and you accidentally did paste in the wrong connection or the wrong ID and it pops up the window it's just a way for you to go oh wait I didn't need to connect into himself it's like a double double check yeah I'll check your work basically make sure you got the right data and you can even control click on the name there and open that profile and it's a separate tab if it doesn't look right you just want to figure out what went wrong cool there you did a little work for us while you were there okay so next we are going to talk about um and I kind of mentioned it before when I was looking at the preview for the space page but I wanted to bring up a category so you can see in the category pages there is the same ability the ability we have at the top of profiles we now have for space pages and categories that you can copy the id the link or the url for categories in space pages which I love to make them yeah easier I'm trying to remember what's time yeah okay and then we were going to talk just to mention about on your badges page so from my wiki tree you go to badges right here and that that'll open up and show you your badges so they have we have the option now where you can just hide the club badges or you can move them down to the bottom of the list again another feature I love I used to just drag them all down and I love being able to just click that little hot yeah I would get them all where I wanted and then I would forget to click the save display changes button exactly so that on your profile page now you can see that the um I have it so that the badges that I like to have at the top of the list show at the top of the you know because I think there's only yeah the 12 the top 12 in your badges list is what shows on your profile right that's why I like to move the club badges down the monthly club badges down yeah it's great to get them but it's also nice to highlight the projects that you're involved with in case somebody has questions or something yes exactly yeah cool and another another thing I use a lot is the ability to have what's called an extra watch list so for instance I I meant has mentioned before on other broadcasts about the cemetery I do it has over 6000 profiles so if there are profiles that you don't want to keep in your personal watch list because you want to try to keep that under 5000 then you can add them to your extra watch list so if you are on the profile that you want to add to your extra watch list you just click this little plus sign up here and you can click to add and if it's added then you can also click to un to remove it from the list so if I click on this little binocular icon you can see the list of profiles that are in the extra watch list and from here you can just go right to see the changes that have been made to the profiles and we will mention a little bit later but you can also export this list or import a list so Julie mentioned before about you need to back up the options we'll I maybe we'll talk about that next and so this is one thing that you want to be back up basically get export and or if you use two different browsers because you like to be able to switch between windows maybe anyway just more options this gives you more options for you but you can import or export a list to the two go ahead like like as you're said if you're if you're working on you know like a cemetery or maybe even during a connectathon or a sourceathon and you want to keep track of some profiles that you want to come back to but you don't want to actually have them show up on your personal watch list and get emails about them you can just add them to this extra watch list and then it's a little bit easier to remember what you wanted to come back to maybe you're working on a particular family I'm trying to get something sorted out it's just it's again a handy little a feature rich extension yes and so so to to back up your options that you've selected like the different options that are available we'll talk more about some more of them but this is where you can back up those options and then you can restore so for instance oh if like I lose power my computer shuts it is shut down and I have to reopen everything back up then I've lost everything because I have to sign back into everything it doesn't automatically keep me logged into stuff so this gives you the ability to you know restore those options and well and it makes the options portable too so if you like I think I saw Kathy or Hillary talking about how they use different computers or devices you can export your options on one browser and it saves it into a file on your hard drive you could bring that file you know you could email it to yourself or however you transfer data from one device to another and you could bring it into the other device yeah and then import it into the other browser if you're switching between devices or whatever so it's handy if you want to just keep your things synced up like that unfortunately it doesn't sync automatically like you know if you're logged into chrome your stuff goes from one device to another but the browser extension for Wikipedia is not able to do that right so that's handy dandy it wouldn't hurt to export it every once in a while just to keep yourself from losing your mind if you yeah if you forget and clear your browser history and then all of your options get wiped out so just to kind of walk through what that looks like I'm just going to back up my data and download it and then if I go back up here and back to the skier wheel up at the right hand corner you can restore your data and then you just need to go find that backup and then upload I hope that's not confusing to anybody I know some people are always like good I don't I'm not great with computers but it's it's pretty simple to do just remember where you saved it yeah okay and then I think you have the next section so I'm going to back out here all righty so we were going to talk about some options that are available on I'm going to go on over to this profile here azure and if you could share this screen share my screen for me that would be handy so hopefully we're looking at frank fiskus right now yep okay excellent so this is how we typically see a profile when we're not using the extension we've got parents siblings spouses and children all in one block here and some of our members had asked for things to look a little different because they thought it would work a little better for them so there is an option we go in here to the options for family list there did it go there it is change family lists we're not I'm sorry I don't know why it doesn't it's not showing my browser extension but I'm going to turn the change family lists option on it's under the profile section on the browser um and I'm going to come back out here and I'm going to refresh Frank's page Frank is my grandfather and now it's going to do a handy dandy reformat here so now I just have Frank's vitals over here and it moved all of his family connections over to the right hand column it's really when I first tried this out I I forgot I turned it on and I was like what's happening oh and then I realized oh yeah it's right it's over here but I know I do too and I I keep I'm still getting adjusted to it because I've only had it turned on for a couple weeks and I still sometimes go look at a profile I'm like I know they were married exactly but the nice thing is that over here on the side it shows you the different colors for the different genders if they're private if any of these were any of his children were still living and were private it would show up green so even though I'm logged in and I'm on their trusted list and I can see their details it would still show up green to let me know that it's not an open profile so anyway that's something that you may or may not like but you're welcome to have the option and play with it there's other options available under that option there's you can have everything move you can turn the right hand column on or off you can add a heading you can do either a vertical family list or horizontal you can reorder them based on their birth date or death date I think you can highlight the active profile when it's listed there so it doesn't look like a clickable one if that makes sense and then you can change the headers it can say parents siblings spouses and children instead of son daughter brother sister or husband wife so on you can add or turn off the ages when they got married you can add or turn off the sibling and child count so that's kind of handy dandy the other thing another favorite that I use all the time is the collapsible descendant tree so I'll go into Frank's actually let's go up here to his dad because it'll show a little more great grandpa Solomon had a lot of children and so if I go in here and I click the descendant button hopefully you're seeing that yep this is what we are this is what we would see without the extension it's just got a long list here I've got a lot of generations added in and it's really you know kind of painful to go down and try to sort through all that but if I go into the extension and I turn on collapsible descendants tree and refresh then when I look at the descendant tree I don't have to look at all the different generations I can what I what I like to do is click the little things to close everybody up when I'm working on a family and then I make sure that I've got dates and everything for the you know the the daughter and the son or son law and so on and so forth and then I can open them one at a time and do the same thing for their kids just to make sure I've got all their information I've got your spouse added and that's all off my way down the generations like that which is I love it again I know it's another favorite I'm sorry but we just love them all all right so we'll put those away and then there's another option that gets added here that allows you to look at a family group without going we have two family groups available now so we have the one that's on the regular profile ID menu and look at the family group sheet it's the very it's the traditional family group sheet that you always see with genealogy info where it's got the husband and the wife and the children that were born to them he was only married once so all of the children it is and then it's got them all listed down here with obviously I have I have some work to do for adding some locations so that's the traditional version the browser extension adds another family group view it gives us a list of his parents his siblings his spouses and his children and they're all ordered by birth date it shows you you know those that you need to have locations added um I haven't found death dates for some of these folks yet so it just kind of gives you an overview of the family and almost like a timeline format speaking of which we now have a family timeline too are we going to cover that uh we weren't but go for it there it is these are the events that happened in great grandpa's life so it's awesome again having a timeline can often highlight sections that need more work if you're missing information or something that the date the ages don't make sense so that's another handy tool let's see what else are we going to look at oh the change summary options I love this oh yes so you know when you go another one we love so you know when you go in and you make an edit I'm going to edit this profile and you go over here and you're like I'm just playing around with this or you know maybe or maybe I went up here and changed the name or whatever and you do the same thing over and over again you want to have that you don't want to have just the canned ones over here so you can see where I've added a couple of my own where I have setting to unlisted privacy level because the person might be living and I do that a lot because I'm working with the undated profiles right and back in the day you could bring in a Judd comment it wouldn't set them to unlisted if they didn't have a death date so I use that all the time when I'm going into profiles I added one for correcting name entry so you can basically just click the little gearbox here and you can go in and add your own option whatever you know just testing and you could add that as an option on your list when I go back out there it is so I can always put those available I know and you can delete them if you're just doing something temporary deleted if you don't want to have them anymore another time saver then another time saver those are so important especially when we're doing our quarterly challenges you know yeah right well asher I'm going to throw it back to you because I think you're going to do some sharing on some of the matches suggested matches filter when we're adding new profiles yeah so here's a profile I'm getting ready to add and it's a relatively common name and I've kept the date uh down to the year and the place just for the state just to kind of give you give us what it is give us it shows so it'll show us the suggested matches here we go look at all those other williams stewards there's so many you can see uh canada india australia so what I want to do is I want to filter it down to location so that country that I I have up here in the birth location so that will narrow it down to united states for the birth which is very very helpful on these oh yeah another time saver so you can also sort filter for the name and if I had his middle name in here it would um filter for that so if it didn't match it would show you the options for that the options that might be match now does that matter if you have his middle name in the first name field or in the middle name field because I know we're not really requiring that it be in the middle name field anymore when um on this one in ad we don't have the middle name field it's all you have that turned off yeah and then the date is another thing that it will search by so it kind of really narrows it down for you tighter so on like john smith if you had john smith you were trying to add the it really helps you filter out things that aren't going to obviously aren't going to be a match so that is another wonderful time saver because on those common names it used to be it it take quite a while to you know go through and make sure that that person wasn't already in there so just wonderful wonderful ability there and there's more information on the filters on the the free space page that we shared in the description here that you'll find more information on all of the options in that free space page that can give you a little little more info than what we have time for today yeah so um at the top of the page is um you can you know it has all of the information here um in the outline you can see there's a even a link for that specific option and it'll take you right there so it really it's in depth they've done a nice job of documenting this and if you get in there and you find that um there's something that's not clear you can always ask a question out in g2g to get more information yep it's a wonderful community that are always helping yeah they're great at updating for you know if you've got suggestions for the documentation you can post a comment on the free space page or whatever yeah so i'm going to go ahead and add him so that we can test out our new our other another feature let me go ahead and put in more detail information here real quick feel like i should be entertaining them while you're typing this okay so there we go and next we are going to look at the auto bio option so when you first add a profile and you're using the basic um option where you're just gonna add a source when you add the profile you're not um you don't aren't adding the bio biography first um it will put in that basic option a basic statement here for you based on what you put in the data fields but instead if you go here to the um toolbar and click the auto bio you get a little shaking through yeah it does some wonderful things so based on what you put in the data fields you'll see here it has the categories for the locations it also has a name study sticker and then it has a biography that has the information and it even did an inline citation so and it has a statement here so it's an auto biography it writes the biography for you yeah it writes it for you so that you another time saver but it's based on what you've put in the sources section so whatever you put in there it's going to look through and write the biography based on that so right now you'll notice biography and sources is on here twice because first you you know you want to look at it before you um delete the old old information and formatting so we're just going to do a preview here's the the first biography that's written out here is the auto bio biography so that here's what it looks like so you have your citations inline citations there for you it's a really great time saver so if i like that i can go ahead and click the button for delete old bio if i decided i don't like it i can undo the auto bio they thought of everything they did all all these old time savers so now if i do preview again then there's only the regular just one biography and one sources section all ready to go there for you cool love it love it love it so that's what the auto biography does for you and again like everything else if you go in here to the browser extension um icon on your top of your browser you can go in and really take a look at the sections and there are so many different options for each one each of the options has more little sub options where you can like say exactly what you want it to use when it's creating that auto biography so again you know take time and look through what what you like and what you don't like you know set it up like you like it it right flexibility we have to offer here another option feature tool of the extension is the jedcom cleanup so um if you go into the edit tab we're going to go down here to the edit section this is a profile that was imported and it hasn't been doesn't look like anything's been done for quite a while it's an old old jedcom so that it needs work so you can see right here the one of the first the first button on the toolbar is the ancestry jedcom cleanup tool the agc automatic automatic jedcom clean up oh okay so if you click that it it will go through and it writes out the biography and it reformats the profile so if i click this preview button and we scroll down you can see it really clean that up so it's so much better understandable it's not like um like it was and it gives you in the research note section it gives you some hints that there might be some things that you want to review um it'll tell you some things that it did yeah i'm sorry go ahead i was just going to show this is what it looks like now you know user id that that's we don't need that information that's yeah not even necessary to have there so and now it looks like this really nice so much better and yes the research notes really gives you more information to kind of take your research further or it might like the other marriages section there sometimes the old jed comes would bring in information about the parents marriage and plunk it on every child's profile don't need to have that there so it just gives you some hints about things you could take off yeah and like if there's multiple marriages for this person and only one marriage is it attached it'll say oh there it mentions a pro uh mentions that there's another marriage but there's not another merit another profile attached so it'll kind of right it gives you clues based on all the data that it has right so that's really awesome yes love it another one we love we're just going to keep saying that over and over again yeah exactly so i think that was oh we were going to talk about how to get help oh you mentioned that well yeah and i wanted to talk also just a little bit about you guys once you get out there and start knocking around in the extension a little bit you're going to notice that we did not cover some things that were in the extension there are you know five or six features that we didn't go over because they're they just require or they should be covered more in depth so we're going to reserve those and talk about those on another wiki tree tour video for example we have some table features um the wiki tree plus edit helper some style options and of course bio check which i know a number of you are familiar with it helps you identify suggestions on profiles that you know need some work or need some sources and stuff like that so we're yeah that's we did not cover those today because we just don't have time for it and um well they need to they just need more they need more attention than we can give them today yeah there's so many options in here it definitely is going to take multiple um multiple videos basically and there is a um so this is the space page you can find it again in the find took you out manual here we go find and then apps and then um it's down at the bottom of that list and so this is the space page you'll see here on the space page that there's a tag for wiki tree browser extension if you click that you can see the different um space pages but also in g2g you go into help g2g and you do a search for that tag you can see the relevant um posts in g2g or questions that were asked you can also ask a question about it yep and make sure to include the tag yeah so that this I searched before you somebody might have already asked the question that you have so it's always good to go out and and see if somebody else has already asked definitely um yeah and then we did promise you guys a little bit of uh q and a here I've been trying to keep up with the comments on the side I noticed there were a few questions Kathy mentioned that she was she had two clipboards one for greeting messages and one for personal stuff so for those of you who are in some of the functional projects like greeting or rangers or you know um integrators I don't know whatever where you have your messages that you have saved off Kathy I think you might be able to make use of the using the clipboard for some of your stuff and then using the notes for like maybe the longer entries that you want to copy into comments on a person's profile so you could you kind of get two clipboards but they work slightly differently so maybe you could make use of those so that would be handy and then Hillary said it pointed something out that we've talked about a couple of times you know the clipboard is different on each device and we did kind of cover how you could export your your information from one browser into a a file on your computer so that you could import it to another device and try to keep those in sync it's a little bit of a thing to do that I can do that again let me just so I'm I'm up here on the browser extension icon and I go to the gear wheel and I can back up my data download now if I want to take that over to chrome browser I go back up here on this one it's on this side and I hit the gear wheel over here I restore data and there it is and it's good to go it looks like it doesn't really happen because it's kind of seamless but it did do the work there for us great that's handy and then I as you're I think you happen to answer this question on the fly when you were talking about the the auto bio is Kathy wanted to know if there was a way to turn off the one name study and one place study options and yes there is as a matter of fact you don't it doesn't you don't have to have it add the categories in the sticker you can those are options you can turn on and off like I said they thought of everything I think they're really good at paying attention to our our suggestions and g2g and other emails and stuff that they get so there's lots of lots of features for you to play with on or lots of options for you to play with on each of the features so just go out there and knock around and just you can get things set up exactly the way you want them to be I don't think the it doesn't do the OPS sticker it just does the one name study sticker oh right yeah that's right so it won't automatically add in the one place study it just does the one name study right right okay but you can have it turn off categories if you don't want to have it automatically add categories based on the information that's entered here we go auto bio there's here's the option categories and stickers you can have it add location categories I love that it adds needs profiles created category yes yeah side young sticker I love that it adds that the one name study sticker option is right here so you can have it yeah that's where you set everything up for that on or off so I think that's about everything that we had plans to cover if you guys have some questions we'll hang out for a few minutes and chat with each other while we're waiting for you otherwise if you are watching this later please use the g2g forum to go and ask questions if you have them make sure you add the wiki tree browser extension to your question and I'm sure that one of the developers or one of the people who's super familiar with the extension will pop in there and help you sort out your question because that's how our community is yeah just great and give give this video a like for us to help with the so I hope you guys learned something we hope we cleared up some confusion if you had any and oh thank you're welcome Kathy we love doing these I think that's it I think we're we're done as sure we're over and out okay bye everybody thanks for tuning in bye


In the related development, a group of NGOs have called on or has called on the federal government to, as a matter of urgency, declare a state of emergency in the country and also urge the government to provide relief materials for victims, as well as take proactive steps to forestall future occurrences. Emanually, Hijri's report is presented from our studios. A group of NGOs have lent their voices to the incidents of flooding in many parts of the country, and particularly Kogi State, where 160 communities were submerged underwater, with many killed and displaced many, and properties worth millions of Naira destroyed. According to the leader of the group, N.E.O.B., these floods are coming amid concerns by the United Nations and the World Bank that 19.4 million Nigerians across 21 states and FCT could face food insecurity starting from August 2022. So I think we're having one of the worst times, and in 31 states, that's a huge emergency. How many meetings are going on in the government circles about this emergency now? This is what we're raising. It is an emergency. The attention we pay to life, the dignity of life itself is overwhelming. The group also called on the federal government to act fast by providing relief materials for victims, and the states affected, as well as take proactive steps to forestall future occurrences. We are dealing with extreme level of deprivation of human disease. We are talking of people not even having places to sleep. We have to lie down, because there's no way to lie down.  By then, to make it worse, we are talking of people living in the desert. So it's difficult to use the press conference of this nation to give you a breakdown of the enormity of what's going on here. It's irresponsible, not just the federal government, but also the state government, and even the local government. We're hearing stories about many communities, these police, and no one is coming to their aid. In number of organizations that are already responding, again, for instance, we said it is doing a couple of things at the moment. We've already responded to a few communities. We've responded to the plan to a few communities. We are responding in Superbowl. We are responding to a few communities as well. But whatever I just said it is doing, or actually it is doing, or plan, it is doing, or care is doing, cannot amount to what if the federal government takes this necessary action, you know, what we serve to the country. I think what is important here today, you know, is that it's about our humanity. If we're concerned about people like us, we need to take certain action. And we all have a responsibility in this. Over 790,254 have been displaced so far, with 600 deaths recorded across the country according to the statistics gathered so far. Rivers, Niger, and Benui broke their banks every year from the shedding of excess water from Lakdodam in Cameroon. Leading to severe flooding and Kogi State is usually the worst hit.


Hello everybody, welcome to my channel, it's Iwa from Bohemian Crafting. Thank you so much for visiting me today, I'm coming today with a video. I had so many beautiful response comments on my previous video with those two journals. One was with those cars and the other one was those gorgeous gills. And I had so many questions and I chat a lot with ladies and with ladies, yeah, that was just with ladies, how I made these layers and what they can use if they don't have gorgeous gills or these cars, what they can, but they can use to make these layers. So today it will be trying, I really do believe that we all have some kind of image in all of stuff which can be made this way with those layers. If you ever purchased by both ordered from Etsy some digital collection, maybe you will find there something, what looks like you can have there some layers. I'm gonna choose one of my newest collection, this is by the way amazing nature collection. This is mostly tax and ephemeras. I've got it now on my Etsy, I will put link down below for those who are interested. If you like nature so I do believe or I hope you like this collection. I can't believe, I can't be sure, but not can't believe, I can't be sure but I really hope you will like this collection.  And I'm gonna choose one, yeah, gonna just show you quick preview what you can expect. And there is also collection of amazing nature journaling pages that it's pretty much just vintage background and there are some landscapes drawings, very simple those journaling pages. But the collection with those ephemeras it's I think very nice and colorful with gorgeous images so I hope that it will find right good home in your in your craft room. So this is I think it's not all, I think I didn't print it all, but there is 49 sheets like this, not images but sheets like this 49 in that amazing nature. I will put link down below for those who are interested to have a look and I'm gonna take one image from this triplet. This can be used like you can fold it this way and you've got like triple booklet or I can cut one of these frames so I'm gonna cut exactly between and I'm gonna cut also that white frame from the printer so we will have just that image itself and I will try to show you on this how you can actually make the layers and I hope it will be easy and we will have some fun with creating. So I do have my base what I'm gonna do I'm gonna cut that image around this frame the image it's like layering like a notepad with few layers of other papers underneath and here on the top it's like frame with the picture inside so I'm gonna cut that frame all around and I think I'm gonna cut a little bit here in that triangle as well so I do have my frame with that image and I do have that around piece and I forgot to say I did print out all these images on 160 gsm paper and I've got here piece from some Fajitas box and I've got here the wrapping paper which came in some order from Amazon and it's beautiful brown so I'm gonna use these two. First what I'm gonna do I'm gonna take this image with that frame and I'm gonna glue it on my piece from Fajitas I think I'm gonna use my nail file and first I'm gonna try to sand this one a little bit that color a little bit down you don't have to sand it all but just like around that image I don't wanna have it there too much colorful so with my nail file I'm gonna a little bit distress the top of that coated image yeah so it looks like this and it wasn't too much hard to do so I'm gonna glue all this piece on my small chipboard like this and now I'm gonna take my knife again and I'm gonna cut off the inside of this frame that picture itself so I'm gonna use my knife and cut it on the edges and cut that piece that image out of my frame like this so I do have beautiful card with the brown light brown background which is perfect for writing and it's kinda plain so what I'm gonna do I do have many sheets like collage sheets so what I did I punched my top and I use this V-sun creative I'm gonna put link down below I found it on Amazon I hope they still have it it makes these beautiful large tops so I punched from one of my collage papers this decorative top and first I think will I make sewn effect or not will I sew it I think after I will glue to the top I will make just some sewing frame so I'm gonna put the glue or not yes I will on the top and I'm gonna let it dry before I will use my sewing machine and I think I will do some just frame sewn effect meanwhile I'm gonna take my scissors and I'm gonna try to cut to fussy cut out this frame I think I will take a little bit just really millimeter one millimeter around of this frame make it a little bit bigger and here on the top I didn't cut it straight I made there those waves so I'm gonna cut that as well I actually like it this one so I think I'm not gonna cut it or just gonna make it a little bit more worn that do not make it straight I'm gonna take my distress ink I'm gonna take walnut stain and I'm gonna distress this bottom of my frame and all around I think especially the bottom to make it a little bit more darker but because I sanded that Fajitas box a little bit with that file nail file not file nail file that edge of that box it's already distressed and it makes it because I sanded it's already mistress I'm sorry distress and because of that oh shoot it makes beautiful edge on on that frame so I'm not gonna distress it too much you know to cover that box because I like that the distressed effect on that box that's why I cut it a little bit with a small gap between edge of my frame and edge of that image so I do have my frame that image and I'm gonna take back this one I could hear this of packing paper and it's really nice paper so why do not use it right I'm gonna first distress the edges a little bit so for for making my the edges of that image a little bit worn I don't want to rip them totally with my scissors so I'm gonna use again that nail file and I'm gonna just do it this way that here and there I'm gonna distress it with this here I have to be very careful because it's not a big space so it's very teeny tiny paper and I don't want to rip it off so I'm gonna go just with the edge of my nail file and I'm gonna kind of distress it using this and I just want to show you one small trick if you will take stamping block or some you know a hard piece of something with straight edge you can place your image on the edge and with that nail file just go over that edge and I will show you immediately and you can create this type of vintage distressed look like this so it's it's kind of like my tool when I am making those edges so I'm placing the image on the edge of that stamping I just said that what is it stamping place oh my I just said that and I lost that word immediately of the stamping block oh shoot and I'm kind of like moving the image and using that nail file I'm making my ripped edges just small idea where you can use and I'm gonna take again walnut stain and distress the edges of my piece I'm gonna take this and just very soft distressing I don't want to put that too much color to make it too dark so I distress all these edges I'm gonna take my glue and glue this piece on my brown packing paper sorry for those noises I need to switch off the noises on my mobile sorry for that so I'm gonna put the glue on all this piece and glue it on my paper so I did glue it on my packing paper and as you can see I left pretty much big space around and that's because now I'm gonna take this Tim Holtz it's from Tim Holtz tissue paper and I saved for myself the edge where is that ripping strip that acetate piece or that acetate strip with those teeth it's like so so I'm gonna rip my paper around using this Tim Holtz ripping ruler I'm gonna call that this way it makes beautiful edge on my paper or I can very easily you know to grab that paper and slowly rip it all around and because that image itself has already those layers in that in that design with this I can make it more like more layers on that and here I'm gonna just use this and rip it around yeah why not like this so I've got my base I've got frame and this tag what I made it's from one long strip of acetate piece when I folded half it was actually the size I need it's a little bit wider than my frame but I don't mind I'm gonna glue that frame on it so I will have I will have visible those sides and that stitching so I'm gonna put acetate the double-sided tape oh shoot I'm gonna use double-sided tape for gluing my small frame on that acetate sheet yes here I can fit as well so I'm gonna glue it yeah it's like pocket like this before I will glue that frame on it I'm gonna glue it from one side double-sided tape especially on the entry I mean on the side where is entry there I have to be I want to be not have to be I want to be exactly on the edge to make sure that later I will don't have any issues to slide the picture inside so I need to glue it to that background nicely put my double-sided tape here press it nicely to make sure that double-sided tape will hold and now from that opposite side I'm gonna glue that frame like this so it's glued on my acetate piece now I'm gonna take off that backing paper from the double-sided tape and I'm gonna glue this acetate pocket on my paper here like this I'm gonna press it nicely I can slide my picture inside and because here on that image design there are like poked holes I'm gonna take my crocodile move it on 316 and poke the holes in there here and here and of course to make it look vintage I'm gonna a little bit like make them not even with my scissors and use my distress tool and make them a little bit dirty so now we just altered one image and it wasn't too hard I believe it was kind of nice and easy so from one flat image we do have beautiful pocket and the space for what I think and I didn't use too many tools so this way you can create so many I do believe you do have some image you can use and if you don't have I will be happy if you go have a look on this collection I hope you will like it for those who will who will buy it I hope you will enjoy it because I try to do my best I do love all kinds of nature style and forest and all animals all birds always when a sun bird front of my window I am so happy it's like like they are singing for me so I'm feeling always so happy and I do love mushrooms there are also mushrooms so if you do like nature style I hope you will like this collection so this is my sharing for today I will come back again with some idea how you can alter the flat image and to make it like more a dimension I hope you did enjoy it thank you so so much for spending your time with me today thank you so much for visiting my channel have a beautiful day take care about yourself and I will see you soon bye


Today I'm talking about CloudWatch dashboards and custom Drupal metrics. I'm a sysops engineer from Previousnext. I've been working in the SD community for roughly 10 years and working at Previousnext, I manage and develop our skipper platform. Today I want to discuss what metrics are, how they're useful and what we do with them in the context of Drupal. So part one, metrics are essentially a single piece of information in a numerical format, which we can collect together and aggregate over time to present graphs and be able to extract information from those graphs. Typically you'd understand them to be something like Google Analytics where they have a piece of metadata behind them known as dimensions and they describe a fact at a point in time. So the importance is that at this point in time this information was active. Why we collect it is the picture they describe when we collect them together can tell a story and we can use that information to drive stakeholder investment in a decision or a plan that we're proposing to accomplish and the information is, it holds its value when it's true so we want to bake integrity into our pipeline making sure that it's as automated as possible and not handled by as many external processes as possible so keeping it on your platform to automate the process. An AWS metric is a little bit similar than what we'll deal with shortly but this is what an AWS metric looks like. So an adjacent object, very flat except for our metadata. Here we have a name, a type and labels with a value. The most important thing here is our name and value. So we can say this is our metric name, this is what the value was at the time and we use our dimensions later, in this case it's a webform bundle and that will be how we filter the information down the track. The benefits of using metrics would be to be able to tell a picture so if you had your core and module versions at a certain value at a point in time you could theoretically down the line if you needed the information to identify if you were exploited for some reason if you needed the information for key stakeholders you could access the information and you could identify when those values change. So exactly when your core updated, when your modules updated you would have that information on hand and you wouldn't have to go digging through logs or get history, that sort of thing. We can also identify other metrics, so if you had how many nodes of a certain type how many webforms were submitted and we're going to pull some metrics out of logs later so if you had your Drupal's watchdog identifying a certain piece of information query against it, find out how many of the responses were at the time and make a graph around that so you can tell a picture. The benefits to understanding application would be understanding how many comments, where the comments were going webforms were being submitted to, ideally just trends and useful information around numerical information. We also have health and security benefits of metrics so being able to identify when users were unblocked or blocked being able to understand the flood table sizes webform table sizes, so you might have a privacy reason for wanting to get rid of information, a given date or even the case table sizes which do have some security impacts. It's a good chance to plug here. My colleague next week will be speaking about Drupal's security from tomorrow to o'clock. Getting started, starting with metrics would be understanding what picture you want to describe, what information is useful to you and working from that. I don't know if on the information you want to find, working on how to extract it and exposing it in some way. If you have a lot of metrics, obviously you've got to manage them in a simple and sized way that's got the level overhead. That's where we come to Drupal, Open Metrics. Open Metrics is an open source standard for managing metrics at scale, it's designed for low latency and it can be implemented with text and protocol buffers for a deeper application integration. And typically what we would look at for observability or Open Metrics is a Prometheus instance or it's essentially a storage area where you have your Drupal endpoints which basically just get scraped by that Prometheus. And users typically use a UI just to query against that store to find the information or to build the graphs around that. And ideally you get that in managed services such as Grafana. And yeah, Open Metrics is a standard supported by the CNCF, the Cloud Media Computing Foundation. And yeah, that brings us to Drupal. So what we want to do here is enable metrics collection to Drupal. What other options we have, what metrics are available with what I'm offering here and what compatibility in Drupal looks like from a technical standpoint, what does compatibility look like. So we have a Drupal module, previous next developed to implement the Open Metrics standard and it provides revisioning content, user and node metrics as well as module versions, corvus, PHP versions and Q-sizes. What it does, it takes your website, allows you to add these optionally so you don't have to add them all at once and it allows you to provide a token to your endpoints so that you're not having to expose this information publicly. We also have a community module, the bonus pack which implements support for advanced Q and table sizes, very useful because of case table sizes, web form sizes, any application specific table which you might need to cut down or keep as minimal as possible for whatever reason, performance, privacy, it's an option to go down. We also wanted to look at the implementation. Ideally, we have an endpoint at splash metrics which provides a text version of an Open Metrics document. This is served by your web server and not the application so you don't want to have any impact on your application loaded at the time and it essentially serves a compatible document so you can either do this in a templating format or through protocol buffers which basically render it for you through a framework. Now we come to AWS where we're getting the information from Drupal and we're adding it to the platform itself. We want to go through where information can be found, what you can do with the information. I want to take you through building a metric based on log filter queries which are AWS constructs and what we do with the information. Here's our typical standard. We would have our SAS offering or an Open Metrics implementation which takes information from Drupal and puts it in the store which we explored earlier. What we wanted to do with AWS was to have a scraper in the middle where we could send the information to our destination using an implementation of our choosing. We can do this using just say compiled binary in Kubernetes, Docker or even Lambda which are very simple to develop and this information basically gets transformed by Lambda in the Open Metrics standard, converted into the AWS standard and sent to the account. Our dashboard's information come from free sources. We have our logs, our metrics and a development cycle, so everything else. Talking about logs, there's a lot of useful information logs. They provide the ability to analyze information historically to investigate and it's very good for security compliance. However, we can also build metrics around this and by extracting information from Drush as an example we can filter down individual pieces of information that we're interested in. We could take this information to our stakeholders, to our managers. We could say, here's a bunch of information. We can't lie about this. What do we do about it? Or you can produce a plan and say, here's what I want to do. Here's the information to back up my assessment. Do you agree? What do you want to change? So log filter metrics are basically metrics created from log groups or log queries. So you would go into your log group, choose a stream that would have reproducible information that you want to find. You create a metric from that information at the additional level there. An example of what a custom metric graph would look like would be something like this. It's a web form submission table row count. So we would go in and count our web form, how many submissions are made over how far. And from this graph we can observe that information has been regularly purged but not frequently enough. So it's probably going to become a maintenance task component in the future. This has obvious impacts such as privacy, CPU utilization, dealing with your database. So it's definitely useful information to have on hand. We can represent this information in other formats such as paragraphs and tables. This provides generic information in a simplified format. And anyone of any technical capacity can understand this information without having to dive into something outside of their comfort zone. Automated metrics. So this would be where your Lambda comes in or some sort of automated pipeline where you can guarantee the information is coming from a reliable source. You're not having to get a personal developer involved so that you know the information is coming from a reliable source so that you know it's coming in regularly. For this, your metrics are already on the platform so you basically have to run a query against those and we will see that in our example. Once we've finished creating metrics we can also attach alerts, alarms to them. So if you want to be alerted to a situation or if you want it to be notified a certain amount of something has come through you have the option of doing that. The example of useful information would be coming from purge requests from your CDN. So it's a very common circumstance where a content editor has pushed content or deleted something and for some reason the content has been updated. So here we can graph out the purge requests that are made to the CDN. We can identify if the information is missing and accurate or excessive because typically these have a cost factor to them. You can identify if you're making too many purge requests or if there's information that's playing out missing because there are service request limitations which might expose some information for you. It's kind of useful. If you're interested in this Kim, my colleague, is doing a talk on how COVID scales through the pandemic on our websites and that's happening after lunch tomorrow at 1.20pm. So not so automated ways. This is more catered towards a development cycle so if you're developing a Lambda or developing a process to get your metrics from Grouple into your platform or ideally you could be running this on CI on a less frequent cater. So what we want to do is get away from the height of the daily pipelines. We want this to be a regular thing because we know it's coming from a reliable source. We know there's no middle person and we know there's no people involved in the process. Get rid of operational costs. So for this example I will be showing you some information based on real data in fact and it's coming from a log filter query a log filter metric. So start our dashboard. We want to give it a name. We want to use a pattern in this naming convention. We don't want this to be a single thing. If you can make it a reusable pattern like a token where you have the application name you have its purpose and in our example this will be MyApp slash Grouple because you may have other metrics of interest for your application and you may want to scale this out to other applications that you manage. So here we can see a log filter metric creation form. We're running a query against a log group and we're giving it a designation of where it's going to live in the platform which is our namespace. It will exist under our namespace with our metric name and from there you'll find it's dimension which are things we use to filter it down. When a log metric filter is created it will return a value which is our metric value and this will represent one piece of information that was returned from that query. And the default value is optional. You can either have missing information or you can give it a value. In this case we're going to set it to 0 which seems a little sensible. So once we've created our information there's nothing there and that's because the information hasn't yet been collected. So I forgot to mention our query is searching for catch-up responses for the low score. This could indicate bots it could indicate people that haven't filled out the catch-up submission successfully and this information is found in our watchdog. If we proceed forward we have our query builder which will show you how to find this information what it has been made as a metric. We have our namespace which is a directory like structure of where it's found. We have our metric name which is aggregated by a Excel like a written figure. We have a sum so we're going to add all of them up in one frame that we're going to specify and we could use averages or something similar as an alternative. We also have our filters so if we had dimensions to work with we could say for this application for this piece of metadata find this information and here we have roughly 24 hours after this was created we have some submissions here or some lack of submissions and we can see we have some high points what we can do with this later is create an alarm around so if we wanted to be notified of a situation or a metric exceeded or is less than a certain value we could be aware of the situation that's happening almost immediately. Adding it to your dashboard is as simply as click on actions and go add to dashboard. It's a very straightforward process once the information is available. An example of what your dashboard could look like is on the board dashboards can be exported as JSON they can be very reusable and we'll get to how that could be just for a sec but you can use a lot of patterns to correlate these to codify these so bring it home we have all of the information in Dribble we have it being moved on to the AWS platform and we have a graphical representation of it so we need to identify what happens next and that would be analyzing and understanding are there spikes? are they malicious? do you know where they're coming from? what ends up followed by what happens when there's a situation I don't want what happens next and knowing who to contact is a very key question you need to ask and obviously that person knows what happens so they would have a run sheet associated with the alert. Next, you would need to codify your dashboards if you plan to scale out you can use technologies such as cdform cdk or cloud formation the information is stored as JSON so it is very scalable in that way takeaways, if nothing else I would like you to walk away from this talk understanding what a metric is and how it can provide you with the power to go to your stakeholders and say here is a situation where you do something about it do we do something about it what comes next Drupal is a fantastic opportunity to provide extra information the platform would otherwise know about from outside you have a set amount of information system resources, logs etc but how do you take that information for something more tangible than your work? that is really what I want you to take away now open the questions we are hiring so feel free thank you yes, the information comes from there and it is collected at a point in time the graph comes from presenting the information as an aggregate over time, so you choose I want this week's information Monday to Friday and you would see that graph representing that type as part of the AWS platform so once the information comes from Drupal onto the platform you would then create your dashboards from the information of the platform that would graph information over the time parameters but each of those data points represents one point in time one piece of information and that is when you would see that the metrics themselves are both Prometheus and AWS your service provider or hosting provider would have access to metrics whether or not they let you see that information as another thing but this is the context of Drupal and AWS one was Prometheus module how did it decide what the second question was so the Drupal module exposes a series of Drupal specific metrics things you would extract from Drupal that the platform wouldn't know about does come from the implementation we've got and it does provide a couple of choices so you go into your modules configuration you choose which metrics you want to expose but if you would want to extend on that you would obviously write your own for the application itself and that's an example of that is the bonus but you don't have to have metrics from Drupal from that way but if you wanted a deeper integration but information only Drupal knows about that's where that would play how did you think it would result in a log stream snapshot a log stream is a subset of your logs so a log group will only get a log stream will only get so big before it moves on to the next stream but it's all contained in the log room where you would run your query against your log stream basically a I think it's 50 log entries you basically want to determine what you want to find and that would provide you an opportunity to evaluate your queries from me this is separate to AWS completely it's the same standard and we're using that standard metrics from Drupal into the AWS platform this wasn't particularly our numbers presentation but I would strongly recommend him as president tomorrow we talks about how we go through the pandemic there's a lot of useful metrics that come out of that now I was just wondering like should I use this for live it depends what information you want to extract but if you want to have this information on that if you need to present all this information at some point in time it's a good company but it becomes more valuable with more information so bigger sites the value is added increases and good so whether you like the bigger the site the more interesting and valuable information does that help you? we are essentially using AWS exclusively and this was the option provided to us we had the option of choosing open source standard to implement the Drupal side of it but AWS strictly was our because that's how we operate nothing that I can think of is better or my experience with data I would say the open source standard is you know the standard you know it's flat and reliable the open source standard is the best because you know what you're getting everything I've done in the past has always been complicated for one reason or another but here you know your data structure you know it inside out and clients with dedicated clusters have access to information I haven't yet found that well thank you all for your time


Hi, I'm Kelsey and I'm here at the Davis Farmers Market doing some of my holiday shopping. Now, I'm going to start at the Market Shed where there's pretty much anything you could think of for your family or friends or whoever you're doing your shopping for. We have mugs, aprons, t-shirts, market baskets, whatever you think of, we've got it. Every year in December, the Davis Farmers Market hosts Gift Basket Central, where if you buy three or more items on a Saturday, we can wrap it up in a beautiful gift basket for free. Now, let's get started. Today, I'm going to be making a gift basket for my aunt. Now, my aunt loves to cook and what better to buy a cook than a cookbook and what better cookbook than the Davis Farmers Market cookbook, which is only $20 including tax. Our second stop today is Henry's Bullfrog Bee and Pure Honey, where we're going to get some of the most delicious honey for my aunt's beautiful basket. Here you go. Thanks. Thank you very much. And happy holidays. Thank you. Next is Herringer State's Family Vineyards and Winery, because everyone knows cooking with wine is a little bit more fun. Thank you. She could always use an apron. How about some Yolo Press Organic Olive Oil? The harvest date is right on the label. That way you know it's fresh. Thank you. Our last stop for the day is Gift Basket Central. If you need an example for a basket, here's a snack-themed basket that I made myself this morning. We have chocolate-covered pistachios, dried fruit, walnuts, fresh brie, and pita chips. Here's the Pamper Me basket I made for my cousin, complete with chocolate-covered fruit, award-winning goat macalochian, and handmade soap. See? Now wasn't that easy? The Davis Farmers Market Gift Basket Central is open every Saturday of December until Christmas, 8 to 1. Come on down to the farmers market to do your holiday shopping.


Welcome to our hands-up date. Here's what's happening around your Navy. Senior leaders from the U.S. and Republic of Korea navies met to discuss ways to increase their combined naval partnership. The bi-annual conference focuses on strengthening communication and improving cooperation between the two navies. The family of Senior Chief Petty Officer Scott C. Dayton welcomed teammates, friends, and family to a memorial service December 9 to show respect for his service and sacrifice to our nation. Dayton, who served 23 years on active duty, died November 24 from moving sustained during improvised explosive device blast in northern Syria. For the first time in 15 years, Army beat Navy December 10. Navy came back to take the lead late in the hard fought game but couldn't hold on to the lead as Army won 21-17. Navy will be back in action December 23 when they take on Louisiana Tech in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl. You can read more about what's happening around your Navy at Navy.mil. Thank you.


Last Monday, we spoke about the vanished island Bermeja off of the Yucatan Peninsula. And then on Friday, we covered another mysterious island in the Hudson River. Well, today we are going to be covering yet another island that may or may not be naturally created. But before we go any further, you know what to do. Please hit that subscribe button and give us a like. As always, a very, very special thank you to all of our producers and our Patreons. If you would like to join our Patreon community, there is a link down in the description box below. Welcome to Esoteric Atlanta. My name is Bryce. And today on Mystery Monday, we are going to be talking about Floating Island. Argentina is a country in the southern part of South America. It is the largest Spanish-speaking nation in the world. It is the second largest country in South America, only second to its neighbor, Brazil. Argentina saw its first European explorers around the year 1502. And the name Argentina first appeared on a Venetian map in 1536. Although that name would not become official until a presidential decree in 1860. This is because Argentina had been a Spanish colony until the 19th century. Like all of the countries on the America continent, Argentina is a melting pot of indigenous people, Germans, Spanish people, and Italian people. Now this connection to Spain will become important later on in our story. Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina. It's also the largest city in Argentina.  The Piranha River feeds into the Piranha Delta. And the Piranha Delta is one of two deltas in the whole world that do not feed into an ocean, but a river. For many of the communities in the Piranha Delta, you can only get there by boat. Of course, this adds a lot of mysticism to the area. The Piranha Delta is also notorious for UFO sightings and what the locals call Luz Mala, which translate loosely as the lights of the dead. Due to there being an indigenous burial site near the Piranha Delta. In the year 2003, on Google Maps, a very mysterious island showed up. Because of the nature of the Piranha Delta, not many people are able to move through the delta. So the likelihood of this very mysterious island being man-made was low. Now in nature, there are such things as floatons or suds. These are what appear to be islands that magically show up in the middle of a lake and tend to float around the lake. It's like the islands aren't grounded into the earth beneath the water as we see with most islands. These floatons or suds are vegetarians that again have lost connection to the earth. So like a bumper car or rather a bumper boat, these islands tend to move around their little lakes. As they hit the side of the bank, they start to round themselves into what might appear to be a perfectly round shape. Now for this floating island in the Piranha Delta, many people believe that this is what happened. That this is just simply something that happens in nature. However, with Floating Eye Island as it's now called, it seems to be geometrically perfect. And in 2016, an Argentinian film director named Sergio Nusfilum decided to look for a place in Argentina to film a movie about paranormal phenomenon. What better place than the Piranha Delta, an area that's known for paranormal phenomenon? It was at this point that Sergio really noticed this mysterious island and decided that he himself wanted to go there and look at it. It took about two trips for them to get there. The first trip, moving through the nature of the Delta, was unsuccessful. But when they got to Floating Eye Island, not only did they, yes, notice how perfectly rounded the island was, but they also noticed that, again, it rotated on its axis around this tiny canal that was hosting it. Now, as I said, floaters do the same thing. They bounce off the lakes, which is why they appear round. But again, this island is different. It's perfectly round. And not only was it perfectly round, but the water in the canal was cold and clear, very different from the marshy surroundings. Sergio's team also noticed that underneath the canal, the floor of the canal, was hard and solid. This is also very, very peculiar in a marshy area. We have marshy areas all over the world. Most of you watching have probably been to a marshy area. If not, live by a marshy area. You know that marshy areas are muddy and soft and dirty. This, however, again, was very solid. Many people believe that the eye is a sign that God still exists. How could something so perfectly shaped and odd be created by anything other than God? However, others believe that there is a more sinister story behind Floating Eye Island. Many UFO enthusiasts or truthers believe that this is the opening to an underground base. Some believe that this base was created by extraterrestrial life that tend to visit our Earth. Others believe that it was created by the puppet masters, the powers that be, that rule our world, who have a lot of underground facilities. I, for one, agree with them. I do not believe that this island is a floton. I spent a few days looking at all these different flotons, watching documentaries on the scientific explanation of these floating islands. And, in my opinion, Floating Eye Island in Argentina is very, very different. For starters, a lot of the other naturally floating islands don't already have a reputation for being ground zero for paranormal activity. We also don't see the change in environment around the other floating islands. For example, the water around the islands isn't any different than the environment outside of the lake or the river that holds the other floating islands. Whereas, again, with Floating Eye Island, the water seems to be very, very different. So, why Argentina? If Floating Eye Island was created by sinister beings, why did they put it in Argentina? Now, before we talk about the country of Argentina, I just want to say, again, that the governmental powers of each country have absolutely nothing to do with the people. I believe that most people on this Earth are good people.  And most humans look at other human beings as human beings. In fact, in my opinion, it is the people of countries that make the culture beautiful. And Argentina is no exception. The dark times of the Argentine history really have nothing to do with the people who inhabit the land. And everything to do with the puppet masters who've all treated us as pawns. Most people know that Argentina has had a very tumultuous history, especially over the last couple of centuries. And many people know that Argentina became a safe haven for a lot of the people who were fleeing Europe, who had aligned themselves with the Axis powers of World War II. At the end of World War II, many of the powerful people that had aligned themselves on the wrong side of history needed a place to escape to. The Nuremberg Trials were coming up, and for many people, this meant life or death. During World War II, the country of Spain remained neutral. Spain had just undergone its own civil war, so it was rebuilding during the time of the Nazi occupation of Europe. Due to Argentina being closely tied to Spain, Spain became a stepping stone for Axis powers to escape Europe and into Argentina. During this time, there were two escape routes outside of Europe. One again was through Spain, and the other was through the Catholic Church through Italy, all taking people down to South America. The president of Argentina at this time, or rather the dictator of Argentina at this time, was a man named Juan Perón. Juan Perón was a great admirer of the Germans in World War II, and he happily accepted those fleeing Germany with open arms. Yes, it's true that in the last month of World War II, Argentina did declare war on Germany. However, we now know that this was a bit of a rouge. This allowed Argentine officials into Europe to go ahead and start the process of helping these Axis powers escape. We now know that most of history is a rouge, and we have to look underneath the stories told to try to suss out the real truth. Argentina also owns sovereignty over a part of Antarctica. The Antarctic Peninsula, all the way down to the South Pole, creating a triangle is part of Argentina's national territory. We also know that geographically speaking, Argentina is very close to Antarctica. We also know through previous studies we've done on this channel that the Axis powers were very fascinated with Antarctica, especially with people like Maria Orsik. I'll place that video down in the description box below if you missed it. Even though Floating Eye Island wasn't really discovered until 2003 with the invention of Google Maps, I personally suspect that Floating Eye Island has a lot to do with Argentina and its ties to the Axis elite. We know that across the globe, many shenanigans happened at the end of World War II, including Operation Paperclip where many scientists were brought to the United States and Russia from Germany. We also know that the invention of Operation Mockingbird took full effect as well. Operation Mockingbird became the ultimate propaganda machine, propaganda that had already started during the reign of Adolf Hitler, when he himself and his party took control of all of the media outlets and the news. As most people know on this channel, it appears that World War II never really ended, it only just shifted. And as we see today, there is a rise in the power of the Axis in a new form. In my opinion, Juan Perón was placed where he was placed in Argentina in order to help the growth and expansion of the Axis powers. This helped their expansion and growth on the Earth as well as spiritually too. And I believe that Floating Eye Island has a connection to all of this. Now, many people have tried to raise campaigns to go down and do a full, full research project on this island, but every time a campaign has started to raise money to do this, for some reason, the fundraiser is shut down. Juan Perón, the dictator of Argentina during the time of World War II, would go on to leave his mark in history. And the reason why he was able to leave a big mark in the history books wasn't necessarily because of him though, but because of his wife. We will explore her story on Friday. But as far as the mysteries around Floating Eye Island, what is your opinion? Do you think this is just a natural occurrence and there's nothing weird around it? Or like me, do you believe that there is more to this story? More to Argentina's shadow government and its shadow history, more connected to Antarctica and the Axis powers of World War II. Again, this has nothing to do with the people of Argentina. The people are wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. This has everything to do with the puppet masters of our world.
