e UFC anymore. I think Panini has UFC. Kind of thing cool they're going to have. Obviously the big three football, baseball, basketball, and then some other random stuff here and there. Probably the collegiate license still get as well at some point. We've seen some good stuff so far. I've opened like four or five boxes of it. Pulled a Christian Polisic out of, pulled a Christian Polisic out of 25, which is pretty sick, RPA, but it was really damaged, which kind of sucks. But yeah, not a ton of Liverpool in there. I don't think you're, I think you're right about that. Rikim Jarrett is your first autograph that is refractor, not numbered. Nice one there. Kenny Pickett, that's sick. On the shimmer, nice picket, picket fence. Taliyah Tagawa Loa, DJ Yuga Leili on the refractor, not numbered. Nice, Malik Cunningham, Bowman U, insert to 25. Nice one there.  That's awesome. Invicta, Kenny Pickett. Yeah, anything Holland's going to go like going to be crazy. Taliyah Tagawa Loa, green shimmer, not numbered. Top still gets to make an NFL Stickers, that's lame. Or NHL Stickers. There's a new stadium opening. Got Sam Howell. Who are you a fan of? I'm trying to think. UAB? Is that Alabama Birmingham? Jeff Sims to 100 on the lava. Are you talking Portland? Yeah, UAB? Kenny Pickett on the refractor, face. That's pretty cool. Glad they got their football program back. Happy for them. Box 10. Here we go, Jeremy. Let's pull up Super Fractor in the last box. Why not? What the heck? We've made it this far. Let's just pull the Super. That's pretty cool though, Admiral. Empty. Here we go, 34,000 packs. And autos I believe are one in 42,000 packs. So not super good on the odds of that, but I've opened what feels like 42,000 packs tonight. And that's a tough one, Jeremiah. I mean, I'll say this. So I'm a big Ravens fan, obviously. So we're kind of in the same boat with Lamar right now, because if we don't extend him, I don't think he's going to play from what he said to the media so far. I think he's going to hold out if we don't sign him. So I would say Kyler's good enough. It's so hard to get a good quarterback in the NFL this year. Like if you don't have a sure thing, it's pretty much a wasted season. You know what I mean? Like you have to draft your guy, develop them for a year, and then you'll kind of know by year two where they're going to be. Obviously, some guys are going to take longer. Some guys are show flashes during their rookie year, but to get like a franchise guy, it's so hard to find at this point. But then again, you run, then you run into this situation with money where you're going to have to pay an elite quarterback upwards of 40 million a year with what my home's contract is. And I think Allen's what, 36 a year? So I don't know. I think Kyler's worth it. I think he's good. I think he could win. I think it's just a matter of building around him. And I think the Cardinals have done a pretty decent job with that. I think they just got to work on that defense a little bit. But like the weapons are pretty good there. The running game isn't bad. Connor looked great. Once Hopkins is back, you'll have Hopkins, Marquis, Marquis Brown, and Rondale Moore, which is good. Tyden's pretty decent with Erts. That's solid. And then I'd say just got to work on the secondary and pass rush. Yeah, that's true. I feel that one right there. Feel that for sure, Jeremiah. Yeah, Connor played out of his mind last year. I know I'm sad about Hollywood. Miss, miss me some Hollywood. Good luck, Jeremy. Last box of Bowman here. DeMarvin Leal on the shimmer. Chris Olave and Victor. Harrison Bailey, first refractor. Green shimmer. J. J. McCarthy. That's the 99. Yeah, last person on the night right here. So pretty much as soon as this is over, I'll sign off and then stream will end. But I appreciate you guys keeping me company. Chase Garbers, Sean Clifford. Got Jeff Sims, first autograph. That is not numbered on the refractor. Kind of agree with that one. He did not look good in the playoffs. I will say that, Jeremiah. James Cook to 299 on the aqua. Chris Olave, refractor, not numbered. Assuming that's a true blue auto. No, Chris Olave to 199. Nice one there, though. Solid card. The Brock Bowers. Just double check, make sure I didn't miss an auto there. I don't think I did. I only had one in that box. No, I think it was a mixture of both. I think Kyler played terrible and I just think I don't think there was great play calling from Cliff. Yeah, that was that was tough. That was scary. Yeah, I guess no second auto in this box. Sorry about that, Jeremy. But that'll do it for your boxes there. Thanks again, Jeremy. Hope you enjoyed the video and we'll have those cards right out to you. Thanks again. That was a grind, guys. That is not an easy product to do 10 boxes, though. I'll tell you that right now. But that is going to do it from me tonight, guys. I appreciate you guys hanging out and keeping me company tonight, watching some breaks. We got 11am start time tomorrow in the afternoon with Kenzie. And yeah, so Kenzie tomorrow and then what's tomorrow? Forest at night. So that'll be a fun time or no, Caleb at night. Yeah, Caleb tomorrow night. So no, Forest tomorrow night. Geez, my bad. Long day. So yeah, definitely grab your group breakspots and I will see you guys on Saturday. Have a go on, everybody. Thanks again.


The first panel one is here, up from California, and they've been told to speak briefly. I mean by that, it's just a signal to those members of panels that when I say that, that's a signal. Tim Stanley, Carl Mamalamud, is that right? Malamud, sir. Thank you. And Carl Olson, would you please come here and speak to us? This is panel one. Panel two with Susan Graber the Oregon State Bar will not be here but there is a letter. At each one of your stations, single little statement from the State Bar. We will then go to public testimony. Gentlemen, I don't know who wants to go first but as you probably know, you need to say who you are, what you are, and where you're from. It's just a record. And then please proceed. I'd like to do this if you don't mind. This is really one of your, it's going crazy. We let them do their presentation and then we ask them any questions now. Unless you really can't take it. It's something you just got to do. Then I'll let you do it otherwise. Could we just do that please? Oh wait, do we want to call? We're going to call Senator Brown. You got to hold because we want to call Senator Brown who wants to be here. I mean she wants to be here but she's not here.  Thank you. Are you nervous gentlemen? No.  I'll just say that just to say it. I mean, they're from California. I wanted to be a little nervous. Let me amend his answer, yes. Senator Brown, we're trying to reach Senator Kate Brown on the phone. That's what we're trying to do. Well, you know what? I'm going to lose patience. Could we? Do we need to dial a one from here? Yes. Yeah, why don't you dial one? Yeah. I'm sorry, outside we got, what we're doing is we're trying to stop leaks. That's what's going on outside. They are hustling out there, buddy. They're flat out getting after it. Do you want me to close the curtains? No, don't, no. I want to see Shun sign. Do not close those curtains. Actually, we need the curtains shut. This is Kate Brown. Kate, this is Peter Courtney. Hi, Peter Courtney.  Oh, I'm so excited. I'm very glad to hear that. We're now going to hear from some witnesses, okay? Okay. You know what's going on, right? Yes. Because I called you. Okay. All right gentlemen, now you may proceed, please. I guess I'll start. Senate President Courtney, I'm Majority Leader Hunt, Honorable Members of the Legislative Council Committee. Thank you very much for inviting me to appear here today. My name is Carl Malamud, and I'm the President of PublicResource.org. We are a nonprofit corporation, and what we do is make government information more widely accessible to the public without charge. I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not going to dwell on the legalities of what constitutes the creative work and the long line of court decisions on that topic, but I would like to address why I care so much about whether or not the Oregon Revised Statutes can be copied and used without requesting prior permission or receiving express or implied consent. Access to the law is a vital part of our democratic system. Law is our society's user manual. It's our operating system. The cases and codes of the local state and federal governments are the rules by which we govern ourselves, and those rules must be an open book if we're going to be a nation of laws. So this is a question about democracy, but it's also about something else. It's about innovation, and, of course, it's about money. One might argue that the State of Oregon already provides public access to the public statutes through the website of the Legislative Council, and the question of why is that enough and why must this data be available for use without restriction? Before dealing with that, however, I think there's two points that are important. The first is, how can without copyright can a state gain revenue if anybody can publish the data? And I think the answer to that is very simple, that the Legislative Council is, in fact, the official publisher and compiler of the laws, and publishes the official version of the laws. And we have absolutely no objection to the Legislative Council selling such an official certified copy, because we believe that most practicing lawyers in Oregon would opt for such an official copy because they don't want to take the risk of having an unofficial copy and getting it wrong. And so I don't believe you would have a hit on revenue by changing your policy. The second question is authenticity of the Oregon Revised Statutes. As Representative Rosenbaum and others have brought up, what if somebody alters the Oregon Revised Statutes and puts a doctored version online? That obviously is not a good thing. But copyright is not the right tool for dealing with that. There are digital signatures, and the Legislative Council could use technologies called MD5 or SHA-1 signatures, and that is a technique for allowing any user to verify that the text they're looking at is unaltered from the time it was published. And so those tools, official copies, and digital signatures are available. I think the important thing here is that if the only providers of public data are a few government webmasters and their counterparts at the high price commercial services, the citizens of Oregon are not well served. Allowing public use under limited circumstances does not solve a barrier to entry problem, and it does not solve the confusion issue of some high school student wanting to download the statutes and create a better version. Even a public license makes that very confusing. And having dealt with copyright issues for a long time, I know that when there are licenses and the licenses tend to be long, even Creative Commons licenses, it makes it murky. It discourages people from using that information, which is one reason we work so hard at putting free law online. And in this sense, the Oregon Revised Statutes are part of a broader role, part of a collective body of data known as works of government. And it's been clearly established in the United States that these works of government are in the public domain. And that's particularly true with the laws and the other work products of the legislature. The courts have been very clear about saying that if we are a nation of laws, we must be able to read them. But that's also true for broader information, and something that makes the United States so special is that the works of government of the states and of the federal government have been in the public domain. And that has led to things like the Internet. It's led to global positioning systems. It's led to mapping data and things like Google Maps. And so in that sense, the Oregon Revised Statutes and all the rest of the laws and the materials that are the work product of the Oregon State Government are an important economic driver. And by having those works in the public domain, that spurs a lot of economic activity and, more importantly, innovation. And the innovation as well as citizens to read the law in a more effective manner. Thank you very much. Thank you. Senate President Courtney, Majority Leader Hunt and the Honorable Members of the Committee. My name is Carl Olson. I am a lawyer. I am counsel for Justia, Inc. and for public.resource.org. I've specialized in copyright and media law for approximately 25 years. Counsel, just one second. Senator Brown, can you pick up this testimony? Not barely. Yeah, that's a fair that. We've got tremendous noise in the background because they're doing construction outside. Are these things in front of them? No. They might come. They might come. We could maybe... Could you put like one of these in front of Senator Nelson? Maybe put that over there. I'm just trying to make sure Senator Brown can hear this. Could you please...the microphones are pretty good, but I'm not telling you to eat it, but try to...can you reach it from there? I'm not sure you can reach it from there. You're not going to be able to reach it. Is this better? Are we improving anything, Senator Brown? Hello? Kate? Can you hear me? I just go on. Counsel, just go on. I can't do anything with it. Go ahead. Thank you, Counsel. You've identified yourself, so please proceed. It's a basic proposition that the law cannot be copyrighted. There are a few principles that are quite so well settled. The U.S. Supreme Court held that in 1834 in a case called Wheaton vs. Peters. Reiterated that in a case called Banks vs. Manchester in 1888. And it certainly cannot be copyrighted by states. Moving to this century, the Court of Appeals in a case called VEC vs. Southern Building Codes Congress reiterated that the law is in the public domain and is not amenable to copyright. It held that anyone wanting to publish state statutes can use any copy. Laws are facts, facts cannot be copyrighted. And VEC also, apropos of what we're talking about here today, emphasized the need for access to the law. The person claiming copyright in that case said, well, it's available for inspection in a public office. People can go to the office. The Court said we disagree that the question of public access can be limited to the minimum availability that SBCCI would permit. Citizens may reproduce copies of the law for many purposes. Not only to guide actions, but to influence future legislation, educate their neighborhood association or simply to amuse. In our view to say, as Banks does, they were citing the 1834 case, that the law is free for publication to all is to expand, not factually limit the extent of its availability. We turn now, and this is the second point, to whether there is enough literature to claim a copyright interest in the light of the 1991 Supreme Court decision in the Feist case, which Mr. Johnson cited in his remarks to you. Feist holds that you can't claim originality as to facts. Facts don't become original, even when selected and arranged. You need more than a de minimis quantum of creativity and copyright rewards originality and not effort. And I respectfully submit that the ORS as it is presented has effort, but not sufficient originality. The cases that talk about copyright in the context of judicial opinions hold that creativity can only proceed in a narrow group. It's got to be accurate, so the creative is the enemy of the true. The courts also note, as Mr. Johnson did, that there are very few options available for arranging. You've pretty much got to go in numerical and alphabetical order. So I submit that these factors in the context of the law defeat any claim originality sufficient for a copyright interest. Third point that I'd like to briefly make is the ORS itself, which talks about the need for the greatest feasible access to members of the public. That's a point that the court of appeal made in the VEC case. And finally, even if there was a copyright interest, and as stated before we don't agree that there is, the use that is made by my clients is a fair use. The fair use analysis under the copyright act looks at the purpose of the use, which in this case is educational. That's a factor in favor of fair use. It looks at the nature of the work that is being used. In this case, it's all published. So again, that's a factor that cuts strongly in favor of fair use. And it looks on the effect of the market of the use that's being made. And we submit, as Mr. Malamud I think aptly explained that the use that's being made here is not going to have a material effect on any market. So in conclusion we submit that there is nothing that can be copyrighted here and we respectfully urge the committee to disclaim a copyright interest. Thank you. Thank you. Please. Senator President Courtney, Majority Leader Hunt, Mr. Johnson and others. Thank you very much for having me here today. My name is Tim Stanley. I'm the CEO of Justia. We do a number of things. We do have some marketing services for lawyers. We build websites and blogs and separately we have sort of a content legal content legal research site, which we use to put up lots of free information whether it's on the federal side or also on the state side. I also agree with Carl and Carl said that the laws cannot be copyrighted and I think one of the things to note is that the Oregon Revised Statutes the reason you have sort of an official published copy, the reason why they're cited in court cases and that's being used as the law and I think that's relatively important. It's not like a secondary treaty or something like that. This is the law that people are using to make their decisions on a daily basis. Rather than sort of go into the legal aspects, so I wanted to talk a little bit about what Justia and some of the others were hoping to do with the materials. So you have an idea of what we're thinking of towards the future. Obviously we're sort of the beginning stages of a lot of this. Carl has started some stuff with PolicResource.org to really put a large focus in getting a lot of people sort of working together on putting up a large sort of archive of case law codes, regulations and it's really now starting to bring into both the law professor, legal education community, other nonprofits and other commercial organizations and sort of annotating some of these materials and sort of creating an archive that anyone could sort of use to sort of quickly create new products, new services. With the 50 state, you know, with the state law from Oregon itself and with the states, with law from the 50 states, some of the things that we're looking to do is do certain comparisons between the different code sections. They could compare with the different family code sections or different criminal law code sections. This is both done by looking at individual sections of the codes for the different states but also sort of tagging the different sections. You can actually make a, relatively easily, you can make a quick search engine. So you can actually search across all the family codes from among the 50 states just by putting some tags in the different parts. In addition to that, and this is something where I think Oregon could probably work a little bit on is putting up all the different versions of the code. So you have the 2003 to 2001, the 1999 version of the code. Similar to, as I mentioned, the state of Florida does, because often people are looking for the code from a different year. Because the year that impacts them was back a few previous years. So right now, if you were to go on the internet and look around, you can actually find the Oregon code from 2001 to 2003. We hit it up in 2005 and actually had not put up the 2007 code yet. But it'd be nice to have the different versions up there. And once you have those up, you can have some relatively nifty things with programming and using some software to do some quick comparisons of some of the different sections as well. Longer term, I think the real key to sort of make this large, I'm going to say open source public research platform is to really get the law professors and some of the other lawyers to start annotating the cases and the codes and giving their opinions on what they believe this certain sections mean.  And there's certain systems working on with that right now. But I think longer term, there's a lot, and I think you've seen right now the blogosphere with lawyers blogging and you've seen a lot more sort of just sort of real secondary information coming up from attorneys and other law professors especially. They're looking for a place that they can test their annotations or test their comments to. And they're looking for some of these large databases that they could actually link to or cite in some way. So I think that as we sort of put this material online and we have multiple versions, there's multiple, there's different states, there's different versions of the state code based on what year it is, not people changing the code itself. But allowing these annotations, allowing these professors and these lawyers who just love to write and love to comment on things, start commenting on it and really start building it up. I think you're going to see something that's really great for everybody. And one of the key things I think the difference between Wikipedia and some of these other sort of citation systems that we're looking at or comment sections is that we are looking at how we can authenticate to someone as an attorney or authenticate to someone as a law professor. We understand the Wikipedia articles and we're certainly not looking to put up the code itself as a wiki to allow people to go change it in any way. But the annotation stuff, I think that's something that you could, you know, if you had certain levels of authentication, you could allow lawyers to sort of get in there and start commenting on things, allow the law professors to start doing things, you know, start giving their comments. And I think it would provide a lot of value. And it's stuff that people want to do. They're just looking for a place to do it. And that platform is not out there right now. And I certainly don't think it, I mean, I don't know. I don't expect West or Laxist to actually create that and open that up for the public.  We send everything that we have over to publicresource.org. We've shared it with lots of people, the stuff that we script and we pull down and we mark up. This is something that we're very focused on, is creating this sort of large community, sort of legal research, public policy type database. But really trying to get it going with law schools, with non-profits, and getting copies of the law school. So we really actually wanted to see if we can't get the annotations in certain XML formats so people could use it on different systems. Maybe even West and Laxist could use it, you know, as a way to tag into it. But trying to get the core information out to everyone so it's really shared and leads to some better decisions for everybody as they sort of going forward with the lawsuit. Thank you very much.


After years as your governor, despite the overwhelming challenges, I still believe in Pennsylvania. I ran for this office because I believe deeply in our potential. People of Pennsylvania deserve schools to teach, jobs that pay, and a government that works for them. I'm ready to do the hard work to build a brighter future for Pennsylvania. I hope you're ready to join me.


You've had a few hits out in your life. You get shot in the head at a UB40 concert, how was that feeling? I was feeling, I was in a time of peace to it and had been just released on parole, my first parole and my wife then got me these tickets to go and see UB40 because I loved UB40 and because of the conflict, barns like UB40 wouldn't come to Belfast, we didn't get the likes of that because it was a dangerous place to come, but now I'm peace to it. They were playing in Belfast, happy days, so get the tickets were going that night and because there was peace, I thought, well there's peace, that means there's no more war, but my man around me was saying, you can't go up there Johnny, I'm gonna be sure there's peace, we'll be alright, it's lovely summer's night, open our concert, me and the wife will go, oh no Johnny, you need the menders, don't need menders, so he goes up and it was a great night and the next thing, bang, I got shot point blank range in the back of the head, not only did I get a shot when the fort were me after it, but the grace of God I lived, I surfaced, obviously it must have been a damp round, I seen the round, it was crazy and it was a big lead slug, but obviously it must have been a damp round when there must have not been enough gunpowder on it because had it been a newish round it would have just blew my brains completely off, I wouldn't have, but I just went in them ahead and travelled and lodged there, and I was only out in parole and I phoned a jail, told them I couldn't go back, I couldn't believe that you'd be shot in the head, Johnny you're at your work now, come on now, I mean look, I've been shot in the head, they go to the hospital and we're gonna take the bullet out, but people couldn't believe how could you get shot in the head and walk away from it, what I did. So the person who shot you in the head, you were still fighting with them? No, they fought with me, see when they shot me in the head, I thought it was a grenade with a big flash, and then I just, what you see in the film, you know, like you're shot, you stagger about and all, I knew, you heard me, well I'm not dead, but everything was good through my head and I could just see my wife in slow motion, and the next thing, I remember fighting with them, right, and they tried to get me down and remember, the grace of God, I got away anyway, and ironically, when I got the car that got me to my safety, it turns out that there was a new through police taking steamers, all these taxis, but he was a Catholic, and when I got into the car, you know who I am, and I was panicking, I said, horse spilt, and then I realized, no, don't go to the horse spilt, because if they think you're alive, they realize you're alive, they could come back to the horse spilt and finish you off, so I told him to go to shangal, and he was panicking, but he took me to the shangal, and he must have been shitting me sick. And I never realized he was a Catholic until after the police, and Tony said, Johnny, you'll never believe this, but see that guy saved your life, the guy in the white car, he said he was a Catholic. Does that make you realize, though, Johnny, you know what, there's all kind of madness.  It was hard, because I was the devil to them, but some of them became good friends of mine, and they told me things, you know what I mean, which was important, and one of the stories that Tony told me was this guy had shat me. Now, he wasn't a Republican, he was an opportunist, right? And it turns out he was heavy on the coke, and they spotted me, there was Johnny there, and I almost shot him, so obviously they got the gun, and they done what they had to do. But this guy threw the paper down to me one day, the Andersons Town News, he was a Catholic guy in the jail. He says, there's your mate, and he looks at it, it was a death thing, the guy had been dead a year. I said, I didn't know who shot me, I had no clue who it was, I had no clue at that time, because they thought it was mainstream Republicans. Have a mask on? No, no, no, perfect. So the guy threw the thing down, but this guy had been dead a year, but it turns out it was the actual guy that shot me. But he was flat out in the coke, and he got paranoid, and he moved to Dublin. He thought that we were coming after him, and we were closing in on him.  He was, and we were coming through, flat out in coke, hung himself. Did you think that was a... Sorry, just a wee hint on it. Did you think that was a... A hit, then, a professional hit, and you just kind of... At the time, yeah, everybody did. The police and all was... Because no mask. Even at the time, the people associated with the loyalists, who'd been loyal to me, they were actually going out and retaliating within hours and days after. The Catholics were getting killed just because... Just because they were shooting... Yes, because they thought that was Republicans, and I think messages were sent through our political parties that it was nothing to do with the IRA, or mainstream Republicans. That's nuts. Do you remember the UB40 song it was? It was a horrible song, too.  One of the very few UB40 songs, I fucking... I hate it, and that was the first time I heard it. It was about a train. I don't like that song.   Your train was nearly there, Johnny. Yeah. I think you've had a lot of hits out in your life as well, but a lot of these people aren't breathing anymore either. I know. Well, that's the way it goes. Is that a retaliation? No, I don't know. Some of the people I knew that tried to kill me have been sent to prison. Some of the people in the process of trying to kill me actually killed themselves with bombs. And just... And others, I think... I don't know, people just took the law in their own hands, so to speak. I can't believe the guy who shot you. I thought it was a hit. No, no, no. It was just an opportunity. We're Catholics like. And here was Johnny Adair, stuck with no minders, just with his wife, and an opener of concert, more or less in their turf. And there was a big crowd of them. And ironically, the main instigator who was fighting that night, who was an amateur heavyweight boxer, he was one of the aggressors, right? But ironically, he was shot dead.


Welcome back. In his campaign, Manifesto Tag, Renewed Hope, the President-elect Bola Amid Tinnabu noted that Nigeria's power sector challenges cannot be solved overnight. However, he said he would consolidate President Buhari's already existing project in the sector, including the Simmons party. He also talked about plans to establish new interventions that would tackle the issues of power transmission and distribution, as well as bring power supply to undeserved areas or under several other areas around the country. Joining me right now on this discourse is the publisher of Energy Times, Coyote Acudayo. Many thanks for joining me, Coyote. Thank you so much. Good money. All right. Let's just analyze the power sector. Let's begin this way. In recent times, there has been several power grid collapses. But in the past eight years, would you say the nation has achieved significant landmarks, if any, in the power sector? Yes. Thank you so much. A lot of impact has been made by this presidential government. A lot of developments took place. A lot of progress has been made. I will tell you what I know because I'm an internalist in the industry. I mean, my reputation is basically the industry. So I meet a lot of people and I see many things being done, especially by TCN. TCN, you know, is owned by different governments and a lot of investments has been put into place by the presidential government. Yes, we have a lot of collapses because this where the collapses are coming. It's coming mainly from the private sector and the generation, the discourse, the TCN. Yes, because of the fragile system we have in terms of the power line, the transformer, all those ones have been taken care of now. I can tell you categorically now that a lot of transformer are being putted into the country, delivering to each region in the country by TCN. These processes will take time. It's so something that we just come over and we achieve what we are talking about, that means stability in the powers of life. Yes, it might be a long period of time, eight years from the time of President Muhammad Dupu Ali. Yes, some of these equipments are manufactured to the taste or to the taste or to our climate. It's not something we can order from the self. So it takes a longer time to order, to deliver and that is why we see some of these things coming to the system right now. For instance, within the last two or three months, TCN are taking the delivery of transformer equipment, power accessories that are useful for the industry. If you look at the Lagos region that you cannot know, you can see that a lot of imported equipment for power supplies are coming to the country. So I see a lot of things being done by this government. Yes, some of these equipment are out there for the initial year of the administration. Now they are coming to the country and if you take a long process to install them, connect them to the National Grid. So I can tell you within the next two years, we are likely to have a state power supply. And don't forget, we have new power stations that are coming on, like Sudero Power Plant. It's coming up before the end of this month, before the approval of this government. We have seen the AFRM power plant, which was just commissioned by the first president, which is be owned by the business mogul. So a lot of investments are coming into the system. It will not take us many years again to get to where they are having a state power supply. Then again, we could see that since privatization of this school, because the school of companies and the generation companies, a lot of investment that have gone into this school's level, they are reaping for the existing investment that have been in the system. And again, we couldn't blame all of them. Some of these schools are bigger than their management. They are too big for them to manage. And that was one of the mistakes the privatization committee made. Some of these schools should have been divided into or cut into pieces. Like for instance, if we look at the badder, the badder school, the badder school is one of the largest school companies we have in Nigeria. It covers almost eight states. Eight states. How do you expect a net product of the company in the badder to manage electricity distribution in a larger state? So in verbally, are you saying that some of these schools, Kaldi, are you saying that this power supply? All right. My question right now would be, Kaldi, are you saying that since you have mentioned that some of them are overburdened as to whether these schools, are you saying that they should further be unbundled, i.e., the badder school you have mentioned? And I can tell you that it will be done because we can continue this way. One of the reasons why we have this system collapse in adequate power supply, in inconsistent power supply in some communities, in some local areas, is because the discourse could not manage what they have. It's not only this school, it's not only the badder school. We have them like Kaldi now. They are too big for them. And it was a big mistake for those who privatized the sector. They should have divided, look at the badder again. It could have been divided into three discourse. Three discourse will have come in for the badder school. But we ask somebody to beat them.  They are looking at the property. They are going to grant to make money immediately. Their family is not like that way. Ask them how much money they have come into the system. Within the last 10 years, they have acquired the discourse. They have made it money from the system to invest in the system. No personal money has, no personal investment has gone into it. And that's why you have this challenge in government. All over the place. And that's why we would find it difficult to have if nothing is done by this incoming government. Because there's nothing incoming government can do. But I believe that the incoming government can still do many things. Especially on the purpose of this power plan. Although it's going to be legal, it's going to go to, it's definitely going to go to court to say you want to do that. But if there is a weakness on the part of the federal government, it can be done. Okay, let's move on. I just want to get two more questions before we wrap up this session. Now, according to Tim's manifesto, or manifesto rather, his administration will ensure that all Nigerian homes and businesses that are connected to the national grid are meter connected. Now, the Bohari administration has already initiated the national mass metering program, and the meter asset provider scheme. Tinnable plans to build on this. But how can he make the most of it? Yes, the incoming government or the present government? The incoming administration. But the present government is living in about 12 days. So just how the new one has to harness on what they have on ground? Yes, it's the incoming government that we should be talking to now so that they can. Yeah, so they can build on what we have right now. Yes, not even build. Because they have to put in a lot of mistakes. Yes. Yes. A lot of mistakes. So the new coming government is the one we have to challenge. All right. In the right thing. Yeah, go ahead. Yes, we have about 50 indigenous meter manufacturers here in Nigeria. Indigenous. There are manufacturing plants. There are manufacturing meters. How many of them are they making use of? Now what they are doing now is to employ most of these, most of these, those who call themselves meter manufacturer, who brought some of these into the country. All what they do is to assemble and install. Those who are manufacturing this meter in Nigeria are part of it. Only few discourse are patronizing them. These are the who invested in meter manufacturing, brought in equipment using local individual to do, to do, to do the job. Well, unfortunately, some of these people prefer to patronize those who are bringing who are bringing meter only for them to assemble it in the country. Unfortunately, these people who are indigenous manufacturers are discouraging. And that's why you are seeing the gap. And again, that's a mistake which like, that's Nigeria electricity, that didn't allow individuals to buy directly from the meter manufacturers. You need to need to hold it in the school. Now if individual are giving the license to individual, I mean giving the opportunity to reach the meter manufacturer directly, it will ease the queuing for almost three or four months with this school getting this meter done to meet the people's houses or business premises. And that is the problem. And some of these meter manufacturers will be agitating for having these people coming to them directly, buy meter directly. All what they need to come to them by this meter. You will still need the discourse to come and install it. It's not the work of the meter manufacturer to come and install your home. So what we have to do is that once I go to meter manufacturer to buy meter, I will only get meter from with a number, with a code. Then I go to this school. This school, I bought meter from this school, come and install me. Then we now met with the code, with the number. Then they will do it. But no, it's not done. And that is one of the mistakes this current administration makes by not allowing the bidder to have access to meter directly from the local manufacturer. And what that means is that this school are making profit on something that they don't even know anything about. You know, they are now midway. This type of people access to direct purchase of this meter. The disco now and the midway, they are making money from the midway. And that is the reason why we have problem with kids. And remember they did their zero zero meter. How many people got meter under zero meter? This is one million plus. Almost 40 million people are on meter. And right now, we still have almost 5 million people are still on meter. So how many years will that go on take us? The only thing that can ease this for massive meter is what I've said. Allow meter manufacturers to access to this local manufacturer and to get that meter directly. It doesn't cost anything. All right. All right, Coyote, we might need to bring you on again. We're actually out of time because there is so much we need to talk about, even rural electrification and of course, the option of renewable energy, how this incoming administration can actually harness on that. We'll take another episode on this so we can look at all of these salient issues. Many thanks, Coyote, for joining us. Thank you so much.


Take two. Let's go. Welcome to Code Corner with Katie. Let's kick it! Let's see what's on thinking man's mind today. Where is UL 294 referenced and required? That's a great question. It's one that I get all the time. Come on in and let's check it out. UL 294 is the standard for access control system units. I will be basing my answer using references from IBC 2018. Other additions are similar. Always consult your state and local codes as well. There are four levels of access control components in four different categories. The standard covers destructive attack, line security, endurance, and standby power. Clearly this is a standard for access control system units. But remember from a previous Code Corner that a standard must be referenced by the code in order to be in effect. It may be part of an architectural specification, but as far as being a requirement by code, where is this in the IBC? In Chapter 35, they have reference standards. That's the name of the chapter. And UL 294 1999 edition is referenced by 1010 197 controlled egress, 1010 1981 delayed egress, 1010 199 for sensor release of electrically locked egress doors, and 1010 190 for door hardware release of electrically locked egress doors. What do these all four have in common? They're typically using some kind of a mag lock or an electrified lock that locks the door on the egress side. In other words, these are special locking arrangements. The door locking system units shall be listed in accordance with UL 294. Every one of these has that as a listed criteria. And so the door locking system units are what needs to comply. But what about electrified hardware? The locks that prevent entry but allow for free egress. Access control can be confusing to AHJs and some will say that any door that has access control for entry must also meet UL 294. That's not true unless you're locking the egress side and that's covered by those special locking arrangements. For all other doors, 1010.1.9 for door operations is in effect except as specifically permitted by this section egress door shall be readily openable from the egress side without the use of a key or special knowledge or effort. If it isn't referencing UL 294 here, then you don't need that for standard electrified hardware that allows free egress. You may be able to use this citation to talk to your AHJ and get them to see your side. Another example of a reference standard is under panic hardware and fire exit hardware 1<IP_ADDRESS>. Panic hardware shall be listed in accordance with UL 305 whereas fire exit hardware shall be listed in accordance with UL 305 for panic as well as UL 10C which is the test standard for fire doors. You don't find UL 305 reference under the lock set section, for example. And if an AHJ asked you for documentation of a cylindrical lock that's listed UL 305 you wouldn't find anybody that makes it. And that's because UL 305 is the standard for panic hardware. So unless a standard is referenced by the code it does not apply. In the case of UL 294 you may use panic hardware on that door if it's mechanical panic hardware and doesn't have anything to do with the release of the mag lock then it just the panic hardware would only need to be listed UL 305 and the mag lock and other components like the power supply would be UL 294. I hope this helps clear things up for you as well as any AHJs out there.

A lot of people have moved away from dairy, and there's got to be reasons why, whether it's the method, the style, or you just can't digest it or it doesn't agree with them and not healthy for them any longer. So do you think if we went back a hundred years that the idea that people had milk and tolerance would be very different based on the way cattle were grazed a hundred years ago? Yeah, we do tend to believe that. We think that it's certainly the cow, the cattle industry, and the dairy cow itself has changed because we do have that corrupted gene, which we will call A1 in there, that causes a lot of difficulty for a lot of people all around the world. And so we just don't know if that change happened a thousand years ago or more or less, right? Somewhere along the line, the cow changed, not our guts necessarily, however, you understand this really well, and by the way, thank you for teaching us about lectin, that was very helpful for our family. A pleasure. We've got gluten-intolerant people, and we now have extreme dairy-intolerant people. And so we think of this protein problem in dairy somewhat akin to the gluten intolerance. The wheats have changed and the milk has changed, and then our lifestyles have changed, so our guts aren't maybe as healthy to handle this stuff where a hundred years ago, to get back to your question, people weren't noticing intolerances. They could handle it because they were rugged, they were growing up on farms, they were exposed to everything, and we have a different society. And they didn't have the stressors that they have now. Maybe A1 was already there a hundred years ago, but the other stressors weren't making their body susceptible to an A1 because they were healthy everywhere else, but now with all the multiple stressors with modern food, then people are going to be more sensitive to everything. Pearl Volita on Twitter asks, what would you recommend for people who are allergic to salicylates? There is a growing number of people who are allergic to aspirin. Well, it turns out that salicylates are in a lot of foods, and you can find the list of salicylic-containing foods just on any website. But what I've found with my salicylate-sensitive patients is that it's actually leaky gut that is contributing to their sensitivity, and when we seal their leaky gut, their sensitivities go away. One fun fact about salicylates is that there are potential anti-inflammatory compounds in fish oil, which are called resolvins. But you have to have a tiny amount of salicylic acid, salicylates, to activate turning fish oil into resolvins. And without a small amount of these salicylates, you won't convert fish oil into resolvins. So that's why I like patients to consider taking white willow bark. I drink white willow bark tea as part of my tea regimen every day, or an enteric-coated baby aspirin, which will give you a microscopic dose of salicylic acid once it's absorbed. But more importantly, once you figure out fixing leaky gut, and that involves getting the lectins out of your diet, most of these conditions resolve. And it's actually exciting to watch. You've mentioned adaptogens multiple times. And for our viewers and listeners, they may have heard this word, maybe not. Tell us about what the heck an adaptogen is. So the easy way to think about an adaptogen is something that helps your body physically and mentally adapt to stress. So there's about 10 to 15 adaptogens in the world. And I like to think about them as the cream of the crop of superfoods. There's, as I mentioned earlier, ashwagandha out of India, makka out of Peru, chaga, which grows in its wild forage. So I like to think even of chaga as like the king of adaptogens, not just the king of the fungi kingdom, but they all have indigenous use. You know, in the case of chaga, the first reported or first discovered use is actually around Utsi, the Iceman, which is the most well preserved caveman dated 5000 BC. There's a museum in the Italian Swiss Alps border, like dedicated to Utsi, the Iceman. And he was found frozen. And I think they dated his body to around 60 or 65 years old at that time, which is an incredible long time to live. And they found birch polypores around his neck and some chaga mushroom as well. So it just shows you our ancestors were using this stuff. So I don't really look at these things as something new. It's more of a rediscovery. Is imposter syndrome the same as fake it until you make it? Absolutely. And I have learned Dr. Gundry from the hundreds of people I've interviewed and most of them incredibly successful, like you, just about everybody experiences. Imposter syndrome is just we don't talk about it. You know, we're not we're not telling our colleagues. You know, I'm really feeling out of my depth here. I'm feeling I don't feel so comfortable because this is new to me. We put on our mask.  That's funny. After after my first book years ago, where I talked about a few people with autoimmune disease going into remission or being cured by following my program, it was almost incidental in the book. People started showing up in my office saying, what do you know about autoimmune disease? And I go, well, I don't know anything about autoimmune disease. But I know a lot about how the immune system works because I was a transplant immunologist as a surgeon. So I know how to fool the immune system. So if you want to play, you know, no guarantees here because I don't know anything about this. But if you want to play, let's play. And now 80 percent of my practice is autoimmune disease. So you're right, you just but I think I've learned early on, maybe the same way with you. If you're honest with people and say, before you go, I just wanted to remind you that you can find the show on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts, because I'm Dr. Gundry and I'm always looking out for you.

Prashant Vishwanath Dinshati, Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering from Walchand Institute of Technology, Salapur. Today I am here to explain you about slope and deflection of a simply supported beam when it is subjected to uniformly distributed load by double integration method. So, today's learning outcome is the students will be able to understand and find the values of slope and deflection of a simply supported beam when subjected to UDL. Now, what is a beam element? A beam is a structural element that primarily resist the loads applied laterally to the axis. Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending. So, this is the axis of the beam and the load is applied laterally to the beam axis and this is resisted by the bending action. So, beam are classified depending upon the support conditions. They are cantilever beam, simply supported beam, overhanging beam, fixed beam and continuous beam. So, we are dealing with simply supported beam. So, why the slope and deflection are to be necessary to be measured? So, the design of beam is governed by rigidity rather than its strength. Therefore, building codes specify the limits on deflection as well as stresses. Excessive deflection of the beam not only is visually disturbing, but may also cause damage to other parts of the building. So, building codes limits the maximum deflection. So, it is necessary to measure the slope and deflection of the beam. Deflection of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is the distance between its position before and after bending. So, this is the initial position of the beam and this is the final position of the beam after load is applied. So, the distance between these is called as the deflection of the beam. So, as you can see for simply supported with UDL, the maximum deflection is at the center and it reduces near the support. Slope of beam. Slope at any section in a deflected beam is defined as an angle in radiance which the tangent at a section makes with the original axis of the beam. So, now if I draw a tangent to this arc, so I am getting the maximum theta at the support. So, I am draw the tangent here and this angle is the theta that is the slope of beam. Simply supported beam. A beam supported or resting freely on the support at both its end is called as simply supported beam. So, there are various method of finding slope and deflection for the beams which are subjected to various loads. So, important among them are double integration method, maculis method and moment area method. So, we are dealing with double integration method. So, the equation of double integration method how it has arrived. So, when a beam is subjected to UDL or a point load, it is deflected from its original position and it is having a curvature shape and it is having some origin and this distance to the curvature is the radius of the beam. So, the radius of curvature of a deflected beam is given by the equation m upon I z equals to E by R. Therefore, m upon E I is equals to 1 upon R. This is equation number A, but practically 1 upon R is d 2 y by d x square. This is equation number B. Therefore, equating this equation A and B we get m upon E I is equals to d 2 y by d x square. Therefore, m is equals to E I d 2 y by d x square. This is equation number 1. So, this equation is used to find slope deflection by double integration method. Now, we will see the deflection of a simply supported beam when it is subjected to UDL. So, this is the UDL which is having W per unit length intensity and A B shows this initial position of the beam before load is applied and A C dash B shows the position of the beam when load is applied. As the loading is symmetric the reaction at both ends A and B R A is equals to R B is equals to W L by 2. Now, we will consider a section x at a distance x section x at a distance x from support A. So, remaining part is L minus x total length of the beam is L. So, now bending moment at this section so, it is reaction into this distance minus this intensity of load into this system because this is clockwise moment of reaction and the UDL is anticlockwise. So, here m x is equals to reaction that is W L by 2 into x minus now, this UDL intensity is W into x square by 2. So, this is equation number 2, but the bending moment at any section is also given by equation 1 that we have seen that m is equals to E I d 2 y by dx square putting the value of m at the section x. So, we get E I d 2 y by dx square is equals to W L by 2 into x minus W x square by 2. So, integrating this above equation we get E I d y by dx is equals to W L by 2. So, integration of x is x square by 2 minus W by 2 and integration of x square is x cube by 3 plus c 1. So, c 1 is the constant of integration this we will treat as equation number 3. Now, again integrating this equation number 3 we get E I y is equals to now W L by 4 into now, x square integration is x cube by 3 minus W by 6 into x cube integration is x 4 by 4 plus c 1 into x plus c 2 this is equation number 4. Now, this c 1 and c 2 are the constants of integration which can be obtained from the boundary condition of the beam. Now, what are the boundary conditions of simply supported beam? Here pause the video for a minute and try to get answer write it on a paper as the beam is simply supported the values obtained from the boundary conditions are at x is equals to 0 y is equals to 0 and at x is equals to L y is also 0 means at both the ends deflection is 0. Now, substituting the value x is equals to 0 and y is equals to 0 in equation number 4 we get c 2 is equals to 0. Now, again substituting x is equals to L and y is equals to 0 in equation number 4 we get 0 is equals to W L by 4 into L cube by 3 minus W by 6 into L 4 by 4 plus c 1 into L plus 0. Now, this solving this W L 4 by 12 minus W L 4 by 24 plus c 1 L. So, we get from this c 1 is equals to minus W L cube by 24. Now, substituting the value of c 1 is equals to minus W L cube by 24 in equation number 3 we get E I d y by d x is equals to W L by 2 into x square by 2 minus W by 2 into x cube by 3 minus W L cube by 24. This is equation number 5 and this equation is known as slope equation. We can find a slope at any section of a beam by substituting the value of x. The slope is maximum at the support let it be theta a. So, we will put x is equals to 0 in the above equation to get the slope at support that is theta a. So, E I theta a is equals to now this term will become 0 and this term is having x value it becomes 0 minus W L cube by 24. Therefore, theta a is equals to theta b is equals to minus W L cube by 24 E I this is equation number 5 a. So, theta a is equals to theta b because the load is symmetric. Now, again putting the values of c 1 is equals to minus W L cube by 24 and c 2 is equals to 0 in equation number 4 we get E I y is equals to W L by 4 into x cube by 3 minus W by 6 into x 4 by 4 minus W L cube upon 24 into x. So, this is equation number 6 this equation is known as deflection equation. So, we can find the deflection at any point in the beam by substituting or putting the value of x. So, now for U D L the deflection is maximum at the center at x is equals to L by 2. So, we will put at x is equals to L by 2. So, that we can find the deflection y c at the center. So, putting x is equals to L by 2 in the above equation we get E I y c is equals to W L by 12 into now L by 2 cube minus W by 24 into L by 2 raise to 4 minus W L cube by 24 into L by 2. So, solving this we get now E I y c is equals to minus W L 4 by 384 E I. Therefore, y c is equals to minus W L 4 upon 384 E I this is equation number 6 A. So, the negative sign of deflection show that it the deflection is downwards. So, these are my references which I have referred


The show is brought to you by these lovely people. Hey there you lovely NPR enthusiasts, and the highlights are, Malt has EV nodes, how to make rain with geometry nodes. And last, O2, 2D in meat space. Welcome to the BMPR show, a celebration of stylized rendering. So I would like to start off today by saying that we are deeply saddened by the passing of a friend, Daniel Lu, or better known as Dan Git, on Discord. He was a big part of so many people's lives on the server, and he's just kind of one of those larger-than-life persons. This show was supposed to have his voice over. We had planned to do the recording setup and have time for his recording, but we will never have his voice, unfortunately. So let's celebrate Dan's wonderful life with his artworks. I wrote your name in the sand, but the waves washed it away. I wrote your name in the sky, but the wind blew it away. So I wrote your name in our hearts. And that's where it will always stay, always. Jessica Blade Rest peacefully, Dan. Let's not let the celebrations stop. Here are the artworks of the month, Malt Shading Essentials by Colupsy. It's a plugin for Blender Malt that enables an Eevee-like workflow. It has all these familiar and yummy nodes. Why yummy? Because nodes equal noodles. Please update to the latest Maltz development branch and follow the installation guide closely. We hope this will ease the transition from Eevee to Malt while we're still working on the beer UI. Please check GitHub repositories and report any bugs you encounter. Bulsom Direct for June 2022 is showcasing indie games. There are over 100 wholesome indie games on display and a lot of NPR inspiration to go around. You'll find familiar faces from your favorite stylized artists. It's a must-watch. Before we start, here's a note about the tutorial segment. Please understand that this segment is supposed to be simplified and summarized. We will show you the thinking process and tell you the reason for the decisions to go with the setup. We omit a lot of info like variable types, the full logic behind the setup, and the actual coding. For details and brain-numbing info, please refer to the original tutorials. Our goal in this segment is to let you dip your toes into different NPR topics before committing your precious time to watch. Research and actually use the knowledge from the tutorials. With that out of the way, let's continue our journey with custom normal editing by a version of reality. In Part 6, we handle how to get really clean UV. To get really clean UV, we have to close air gaps and reduce distortion by using both proximity transfer and ray casting. Which is best to use depends on the shape of the mesh you're working with. Next, we use a flattened UV mesh for complex transfers. We don't have to worry about multi-layered normal transfers when the UV and the UV flattened mesh line up perfectly. Multiple normal transfers will just work nicely when distortion is solved. A plus, this tutorial will teach you a good way to get UVs in general. And why are we focused on UVs in a series about normals? Well, they're a good way to preview the transfer distortion, even if the setup will later be used for other data. And once we have clean UVs, we can use them for all future transfers by doing those transfers on meshes set to their UV position. With all of that prerequisite knowledge outlined, let's see the steps. For the first step, we don't have to get the cleanest UV unwrapped. This is done when we have a simple setup and do not have to add details. We have two objects, first the head, which is the target mesh. And the sphere, this is the source. First, in geometry nodes, get the sphere. Raycast the sphere normal to the head. This is to remove the majority of the distortion. Triangulate the mesh to solve mesh interpolation at the mirror joint. And then transfer the nearest head position to sphere. This solves some of the distortion and the middle of the nose issue. Then transfer the nearest face interpolation of the normal from the sphere to the head. Then followed by a transfer index of the position of the head to the sphere. Lastly, use the original geometry and the UV will be perfect-ish. That's the UV setup. So now let's introduce normal. In previous shows, capturing normals is relatively easy from the sphere. We use the captured normal after we have transformed the head. The rest is similar to our setup when we got our clean UV. When we need to add shading details by layering multiple custom normals, we need to flatten the UV setup. We have two objects, first the head, the target mesh, and then second the face mask, which is the source mesh which has a UV texture. First we have to apply the clean UV from the previous geometry node setup, or make a new UV that is also clean-ish. With the clean UV on the head, we can transfer the face mask's UV map to it. The head is then flattened to that UV map. Flattening to a UV map is merely setting its position in world space to be its position in UV space. Then it is necessary to split edges to have the flattened head to not look like a mess and not connected to the real head. To make the flattened head mesh look perfect, we have to fix the middle mirror part. Refine the air gaps near the eyes using a raycast setup and edge shape keys to help smooth jagginess on the edge flow. With that, we have a good enough mesh to layer multiple custom normals. And that will be the next part. Please subscribe to get the summary in the next show. The next tutorial is how to set up an anime 2D cutout animation by Levi Magany. Get a 2D reference cutout scene you want to make 3D. Import the reference into Blender. Add a 2D curve object, remove all the points, then add Use Draw Curve Tool or Curve Pen Tool to rough out all the layers. The center point moves the fill location while the two handles at the sides control how each side curves to the center point. You can change the handle type from vector aligned or free. With vector and free handle types, we can make sharp corners. We'll let you figure out the other handle types. Now you can adjust the curve resolution, subdivide the curve, dissolve curve points, and or mirror the curves. Start a new object by duplicating previous objects to retain all the settings done previously. Each object should have a gap so that we can add the ambient occlusion effect later. For the material setup, change View Transform to Standard. Make a new Diffuse Material and sample the color from the reference if you want to steal those colors.  For Bloomy objects, add a material with an Emission shader with High Strength, then turn on Bloom. To add AO, turn on Ambient Occlusion and set it until it looks good. To animate the hair, convert the curve objects to mesh, then add a Wave modifier. Wait Paint the hair to make the wave influence less towards the hair. The same thing can be done with all the objects you want to animate. You may want to play with it and animate curves as well. And finally, you can render your 3D cutout animation. Profit! Please watch the original tutorial because we all met many details to keep the length of the show manageable. The third tutorial is Rain Scene, Version 2, by Narita Horuka. The Rain Scene is an improvement from the earlier tutorial which you can find on their channel. There are three main parts. One, the Rain Splash. This is done using Geometry Nodes. Two, the Water Ripples on the Wet Surface, or the Rain Flow as mentioned in the tutorial. And this is done on the material. And third, the Rain Particles via the Particle System. We will focus on the first two since Particle Rain is well covered. They already have a tutorial on it. Rain Splash Collection consists of three parts. First, the Horizontal Splash. Second, the Vertical Splash. And third, the Ripples. These are animated textures that can be either an image sequence or a video. To generate points, use Distribute to Points on Faces node on the cube. Then set the points on the geometry. Offset the points using a Noise Texture. To animate the points, drive the W value on the Noise Texture using a simple frame driver. Divide the value to control its speed. To preview the Rain Angle towards the surface, add an Instance to Points node at a cone as the instance object as a preview. To align the cone towards Z direction and mixing with the original direction, we use the cube's Normal and Align Euler to Vector node onto the rotation of the instances. To vary the size of the instances, connect a Random Value node to the scale of the instances. Now add the three Splash objects. Each object will have their own Aligned Euler to Vector and Instance to Point nodes. Then join the instances with the Join Geometry node. Next is exposing the parameters in the GN node group to set up the Rain Splash. We'll let you watch the full tutorial because there is a lot. Rainflow, also known as the Surface Water Ripple, is made as a material. For the glassy water surface, set Veroni Texture as the height of the bump. Then use that as the Normal of a Glass Shader. Use the Shader to RGB to convert the Glass Shader to Color as the input emission of the principal BSDF. To distort the 4D Veroni, add a Noise Texture after it. On the Mapping node, separate the input for Location, Rotation, and Scale. To show the water pattern after removing the Texture Coordinate node, add Materials Geometry node and link Position to the Mapping's Vector. Tweak the Scale's Z input to make the water run along stripes vertically. Now, expose all of the input from the node group so that we do not have to dive into the node tree just to set up the flowing water. And finally, add a Color Ramp after the node group to fine-tune the flowing water effect. Now combine all three parts. Water Splashes from the Geometry node, Surface Flow from the Material, and Rain from the Particle System. It's a complex setup but it's really nice. We also have this old Rain Shader made by Aquapolo on our download page, if you fancy something simpler. Before we move on to the next segment, we also want to give Ennis NND a shout out for the Anime-style Environment Modeling Timelapse video series. From the Studio Who Brought Us, Land of the Lustrous, and Beastars, Studio Orange brought us a thrilling short movie home. The year is 2124. Christopher was on a Mars Research Expedition. He found a missing commercial vessel from Earth and searched for survivors. A lot of action and a must-watch. Indie Anime Botu by Goshu. This is epic and fun to watch. Photoreal meets NPR so perfectly. The moral of the story, don't throw away your artworks. They might come back to haunt you. Or maybe just draw a nice waifu before throwing the paper in the bin. Dragon Ball Gohanverse, Episode 10 by Daiya Tomodachi. Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. Oops, just spoiled that episode. Sorry, there, Dai. Well, it's not the end quite yet. Though a lot of tears were shed in the making of this show. As always, please visit the show notes for more NPR greatness. Plus, please use the hashtag BNPR to make your artworks and tutorials visible to us. Who knows, they might get featured in the show. And now, for the most important part, this show is made possible by these kind-hearted people. Please thank them kindly. Before we go, one final question. Which latest NPR tutorial topic interests you the most?


Stevenson and St. Mary's finish in a 1-1 draw tonight, Glenn Clark with head coach, Toddie Korba, coach the second half that your team put together building up to that goal was, I think as impressed as I've seen from your team this season, it really felt like you were building to something. What kind of click there to start that second half? You know it's so much of the stuff that we've seen in training and that we know we're capable of and so I think you know it's some of those intangibles that some of those you know things that we've been talking about and a young team and I agree I mean I think that second half was I think what we're capable of from you know all the way from goal up to the front and really felt like we were on the front foot and you know looking forward to overtime before the the lightning. So I guess the question becomes how do you bottle that up and make sure that's the way that you're playing every time out? Well that's what we just talked about in the locker room why I'm late for this but yeah you know I think now we we don't settle for anything less and you know while we haven't found our first win you know oh two and three you know these ties are frustrating but ultimately aren't gonna necessarily hurt us you know and and so we're building and we're doing the right things and we're moving the right direction and you know and I think this makes us hungry. I'd like to point out some players I tell you who really jumped out at me tonight especially in the first half Courtney yearly jumped off the page at me I thought she was everywhere and doing everything right and I know that's type of player she is but I just thought she had a whale of a game tonight. I agree I thought all of our backs were great and you know court did so well just you know stepping in at the right times and anticipating things and and really jump-starting our attack and you know we ask a lot of her and she doesn't typically come out and she you know she does a lot of running and she had an outstanding game and you know we were just talking about it in the locker room too I thought our freshman Erica Kitzinger did as well so you know a great overall game from from a lot of people and you know a little bit feel like we had this one kind of you know pulled away from us last minute so. I understand for those that don't know they were called after 90 minutes unfortunately due to weather and there was certainly the momentum was on your guys side with a chance to win it but that just keeps going right Saturday you get another chance to go out and get the first win of the season coach I know it's frustrating but appreciate you coming over and spending a couple minutes with us. Sure thing thank you. This is Tati Korb, I'm Glenn Clark, GoMustangSports.com


Card number 19. Richard Secord. USA. Richard Secord. Look at that salute. Let's get that salute nicely focused. Come on, we want your name in there too. We'll get him like this. Card number 19. Retired Air Force Major General Richard Secord. Retired Air Force Major General Richard V. Secord's specialty is aerial logistics. He learned his trade in southern Asia from 1963 to 1968, flying over 285 combat missions. As the air wing commander for the CIA's secret war in Laos, he was in charge of all tactical air operations. In 1983, Secord resigned under a cloud because of his involvement with Thomas Klein's C-Card number 22 and Edwin Wilson, the renegade CIA officer who was convicted of selling arms to Libya. Soon Secord learned teamed up with his old friend Albert Hakim, C-Card number 20, and started the enterprise, which was part business empire, arms deals, and part military and security operations, covert warfare and intelligence. Second began, Secord began working for Oliver North, C-Card number 13, and the National Security Council 1984 at the behest of CIA Director William Casey, C-Card number 5. Casey called the general a man who got things done. Within two years, the enterprise had five airplanes, two pilots, pilots on contract, two airfields, a boat, a stockpile of guns and military equipment, and numerous shell companies and secret bank accounts, all for the purpose of conducting covert military action for the NSC. The enterprise realized the profit of $16,100,000 on the sale of missiles to Ayatollahomeini. Out of this, Secord, Hakim, and Klein's each took an equal share of 2.2 million dollars as their personal cut. In 1988, Secord was indicted for defrauding the U.S. governments. Iran kicks in here with weapons, right? Richard C. Gord. That's a 2.2 million dollar salute right there. Thank you very much, and the planes and the guns and the airfields and the party.


The need for foster parents is great in Kentucky, especially in eastern Kentucky. If you've ever thought of becoming a foster parent, it's not as difficult as you might think. According to Amity Smallwood, a foster care adoption social worker with the Cabinet for Health and Human Services, the first thing you need to do is apply. It would be 21 years of age to foster. Both foster parents in your home have to be that age. You do have to pass a background check, a criminal background check. You have to have enough finances to cover your current household, and you have to have enough room in a safe, stable home for more. After you are approved, you are not alone. As Sandy Reid, who is a mentor through the University of Kentucky and is a foster parent herself, explains, you will have support. Once Amity approves a home, then they are assigned a mentor for six months. And that's a relationship that you have with this family. And that you're there for them, you make contacts with them, you meet with them, and you just help them along the way in their first six months of their journey. And that usually don't end at six months. It usually has never ended for me with their families. Training classes are available to new foster parents. We offer a building foundation's pre-service curriculum that is required of all new foster parents going through the home city process. And then after they are approved, they are required to do yearly training. So they continually receive training throughout the life of their foster care career. If you would like more information, please call<PHONE_NUMBER>. New classes for Pike County will be starting soon. There will be an informational meeting September 26 at 6 p.m. with classes October 19th and 26th at the Cornerstone Christian Church in Pikeville.


Welcome back to JSA TV the newsroom for tech telecom and data center professionals. We are live from PTC 23 here in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii. This is the best PTC to date The biggest and the best today and joining me today is Scott Gailey Svp of sales North America for K&N engineering Scott. Welcome to JSA TV. Hi. Thank you so much for having me today It's our first time to PTC. So we're taking everything in and very excited to be here Yeah, so I hear that you have some exciting news to talk to us about today, which is amazing But before we get into that news of what actually brings you here to PTC today So as part of coming to PTC, as I said, this is our first time to exhibit here and we've recently so Backtrack for a second. We've been an automotive filtration company for 50 years We're known for our washable reusable products that add power and performance to your car so more torque more horsepower is what we give to an automobile and we were About three years ago a hyperscalar approached us with an opportunity to make our filters in a data center so we started on that project and Through a three-year process. We're finally in rollout now after pilot and we're excited to share our filtration projects with the world Well, so I mean you've been in the filtration business for over 50 years now, right? So just definitely a disruptor in the space and some of that exciting Significant news that you have launched here at PTC Do you want to tell viewers a little bit more and by the way, they do have like the best Booth here in the hub. So what a great presence that you brought here to PTC for your first time So if you're here live at PTC be sure to stop by the K&N engineering booth You can't miss it because it is definitely the biggest and best one here on the floor So congrats for having such a great presence here on the floor at PTC So why don't you dive right into some of that news? Yeah, talk a little bit more about that Well, first I have to say thank you for our booth work again It's our first time here We do a lot of consumer events as an organization and Nick O'Kane has been leading the charge for us here So he'll be glad to hear that. So thank you. You're welcome. Yeah Our news is we've created our own separate industrial division within K&N It's still part of our core company But now we are focused on data center in the industrial space with our application products We've designed products filtration products that are Merv 8 to 14 that have 15 year life and Then also are going to improve performance overall and reduce power consumption and bring more of sustainability program really With infiltration now throw away filters you're throwing them throwing those away on a three to twelve month period and With K&N industrial filters now we're looking at a 15 year life on that so Major changes and very disruptive overall in the marketplace Well, you touched a little bit about sustainability and obviously that is you know Hot topic a critical important topic of the data center industry You know every event and every panel is touching on sustainability and obviously as you can see We are all about sustainability to here at JSA with our greener data movement and the launch of our greener data directory So can you tell us a little bit more about K&N's sustainability pillar and why it's so important to your organization as a whole Yeah, I think From our tradition in our background our roots, right? We've always been a washable reusable sustainable product And it just made sense as we looked at the data center space looking at really the commitment to ESG Specifically by hyperscalers that this was a great opportunity and kind of a convergence of really what we're seeing in the marketplace So from a product standpoint it just made a lot of sense And then overall with really the focus on power savings, right? We've shown in our pilot that there's actual power savings from air handling units using Having more air go through so in an automotive automotive world More air equals more power or horse power and when you take that technology here And more air actually hands have to work less hard So you have power savings involved so it really ties into our DNA and who we are really a performance company is who we are first So from the cars to the data center, that's right, right Technology the only difference is people that are familiar with our automotive products They are a an oil cotton product where you need to clean You have to use a cleaner for it, but with our data center industrial product I it's only a simple water garden hose needed to clean it. So less than a hundred PSI to clean it Well, you talked a lot about hyperscalers and we know about the data center industry Are there companies like within the ecosystem of the data center that data center industry That would benefit as well, you know It's funny, you know on the way from the airport to here You just look out and you see buildings everywhere and all those buildings need a filter, right? So there is significant opportunity Not only in the data center space, but the broader industrial space for our filtration products really to make a difference overall Well, is there any trends or any insights that you want to give us that you're Anticipating in the data center industry within the next year or so, you know, it's really Movement in and we're not experts by any stress imagination. We're new to this space But as we have conversation and dialogue really the use of outside air to be able to have that in this space is very very you know as a need to happen for all to to get a better better PUE and You know part of that that we think we can bring forward is really our filtration products can help that and What can we expect in the coming months from K&N? I mean, this was a significant launch for you guys. We know that our team at home was supporting you Here we're seeing K&N everywhere on the floor All over the headlines within PTC. So what else is coming up, you know, that's a great question So first of all, thank you to the JSA team. They've been tremendous help as we're trying to learn this space They've really guided us and really laid out an exceptional plan for us to follow for the next year So we're in the middle of some product announcements right now And then secondly the one thing that we that we're really driving home is very customizable of what we do and that's kind of in our DNA as well to not every You know data center data hall is gonna have the same requirement So we can work with our individual customers to meet the requirements that they need as they get ready to go to Pilots, so we have a big big engineering team. We are K&N engineering and we invest heavily in that and we have the resources But provide solutions to our customer states. So tailored Sustainable everything that yeah, everything you would want right right So where can viewers go if they want to learn more? They can go to kandfilters.com backslash industrial and they'll be able to see a brief information there I will say up front. We have been a little bit stealth about our rollout overall as that We're trying to get you know kind of speed to market kind of piece. So more information will be upcoming We will be adding more information to the site And if anybody would like to contact me would love to have a conversation with them They can reach out to you on LinkedIn LinkedIn and then Scott dot gaily at kandfilters.com. There you go. Well Scott. It's such a pleasure to have you Congrats to K&N engineering and the team for launching the data center division here at PTC 23 And thank you viewers for tuning in to JSA TV live from the biggest and best PTC ever Happy networking
