I am Nishan Bhurte, I am third year M-Tech student in CAC department in IIT Bombay. I am going to explain about the network file system today. So you have to make a group of two, one laptop will be acting as server, one will be acting as client. So what is network file system with this system, users can access the files across the network. That means you can sit on one laptop and create some file and access that file on some other machine. I will start with the server installation. So I hope you have fixed that who will be the server and who will be the client. So this step is to be followed by the person who is doing the server side. Packages required for NFS file system are NFS kernel, NFS kernel server, NFS common and port map. So as you can see from your printouts, there will be three packages needed for the server configuration, server installation that is NFS kernel server, NFS common and port map. So these steps will be done only by the person who is doing the server thing. So I have in one window, one machine that is OSL 50, the other machine is OSL 52. So OSL 50 will be acting as server and OSL 52 will be acting as client. I will run the first command that is abget install and the three package names. So it will install all the three packages. So I am running this command abget install NFS kernel server, NFS common and port map. It will install these packages on server. This has to be run on server side only. Next thing is we have to create a directory on this NFS file system and then we can write some files which can be accessed from some other computer. So we will create a directory like slash extra slash dir. So I am creating directory in slash extra directory as NFS, for in your case I think slash extra is not there. So you can create a directory mkdir slash home slash NFS. So your command will be slash home slash NFS. So I have highlighted the command, you can look at the board and type this. You can give any name to this directory. For example I am giving the name as NFS. Basically we want to make this directory accessible from other client machines. Next thing open this file slash etc slash exports using vim editor, write this command and open this file. You will see the commented lines come at the end, press I so that you will open it in write mode and go to the last line. The file that you have to open is slash etc slash exports, s at the end. Type sudo space su, press enter, it will ask for password, you enter the password as 123 because it is the administrative user's password. So after this sudo su you will have the administrative privileges. If it is not there, create it. Open this file, press I to go to write mode, it will show you are in the insert mode at the end, you have to write the line which is there in the slide, slash extra slash NFS, in your case slash home slash NFS, the IP address of the client system and then these three attributes. In the exports file what you have to write is you want to make this directory available to some client machine. So that is why you have to specify which is the IP address of the client to which you want to make it available. IP has to be replaced with the actual IP address, bracket will be same. So you have to write slash home slash NFS space the client machine's IP address in bracket same thing. So as you have two clients you have to make two lines, only difference will be the IP addresses of clients will be different because you are using two clients. Clients IP has to be given, you want to make this directory available to some client. So first parameter is the directory which you want to make available to clients, the IP address is the client IP address, you want to make file system as read write. The second parameter is if you have logged in using root permission and using NFS directory then can you delete the file as per the server's root permission or not. So I have this web page which explains the use of no root squash parameter. So and on client system if you have logged in using root then can you delete the file, can you delete the NFS file with server's root permission or not.  So you are not writing the second line that is read only with read only permission. You have to make entry for this line only, not this line, here you have to write slash home slash NFS because that is the directory you want to make available to clients. This is the IP address of client and from this to this the same thing will be written for both lines. You have to make entry similar to this, on the second line this is the IP of first client, on the second line same thing will be written home NFS IP2. So I hope you have made entry similar to this in your file. Write the file with escape shift colon wq enter, after making these changes you have to restart the NFS kernel server process with the next command in your slide that is slash etc slash initd slash NFS kernel server restart. You open this file slash etc slash exports, you have to write line similar to this in your case it will be slash home slash NFS because you have made the directory in that slash home. So instead of slash extra you will write slash home then space then you have to write the IP address of the client machine which you will be using. To get the IP address of the client you have to run ifconfig command on your client. So osl52 is my client so I am running ifconfig you will see the IP address of client. This IP address you have to put in slash etc slash exports. So I want to make one point clear these two entries are not to be entered these are exclusive so that is why I said only enter this thing. Only on the first line you have to make write the IP address of first client on the second line same thing is to be written with writing IP address of second client. This is not to be entered so for the explanation purpose I have also made the two entries in slash etc slash exports the entries are similar except the IP address of clients are changed one is 11.52 and second is 11.51 both are acting as my clients. Let us move to the next step now after writing the entries in exports file you have to run this command restarting NFS kernel server process. So you have to enter command slash etc slash init.d slash nfs dash kernel dash server restart I have run the command here and you can see the output okay next thing is after you have made the entries in exports file it has to be made public using export fs minus ra command so you can run export fs minus ra on the server so I am running export fs minus ra on server side so do not consider these warnings these are normal so up till now I had then done the server installation first I install three packages I created NFS directory I have written the directory name and IP address of client in exports file I have restarted the NFS kernel server process and I have run export fs command and this makes the server installation complete okay the next step is we are moving now to client installation whoever is acting as clients should run the following commands now so OSL 52 is acting as my client so I will run the client side commands on this machine OSL 52 so first you have to install two packages using apt gate install the package names are NFS common and port map so after running these commands NFS packages are installed on my client machine okay on the client side I had to install the NFS packages so you can refer to your slides also in that the command written is apt gate install NFS common and port map so using this command you can install the two packages once again I will repeat this command and hence forth you are doing the configuration on the client side not the server side server side configuration is done now I have to make one directory on which through which I will access the NFS directory that is created on the server so I will create a directory as slash extra slash NFS client so in your case you have to run the command as mkdir slash home slash NFS client so now you have created the directory now you have to mount the directory which was created on server to this directory so how to do that is the third command which is given in the slide first you will need to know the IP address of the server from which you will be accessing the NFS directory so now go to server type if config command so OSL 50 is my server I will type if config enter this will give me the IP address of the server so note down this IP address of the server so on the client side you have to run the command as mount space IP address of the server 11.50 is my IP address of the server so I am entering this value colon the directory on the server which you want to enable as NFS so the directory name was slash extra slash NFS in your case the directory name will be slash home slash NFS so I will explain these parameters of the third command again you have to mount a directory from server to client so that is why we are using mount command now we have to specify the IP address of the server from which you want to get the directory so this is the IP address of server NFS server this is the directory on the server from which you want to get the NFS data and this is the directory on the client on which you are mounting the server directory so I will write the command that you will be writing on your client mount space IP address of your server then slash home slash NFS this is the directory we created on the server and then slash home slash NFS slash client this is the directory we created on the client so these three commands will complete your client installation I hope everyone is completed the client installation so we can test what we have done go to your server on your server you have created directory at slash home slash NFS go to that directory using cd command you will be running the command that's cd space slash home slash NFS once you go to this directory you have to create a file in this directory using WIM type vim space file name I have given file name as abc press I to write in the file I will write in the file as NFS configuration successful I will save the file using escape shift colon wq enter so I have let's see the file using ls command so you will see this file in your slash extra slash NFS directory now go to client go to the directory which you have just created that is slash home slash NFS client for me it's slash extra slash NFS client and you can if you do ls you will see the same file which we had created on the server that is displayed on the client also if you open this file using WIM space abc you will see the same thing return on that file you can edit this file from client side now I will edit the file I will remove the words configuration successful I will retain only NFS I am doing this from the client side now I am saving the file with escape shift colon wq enter I have done this on NFS client that is osl 52 now I will go to osl 50 that is my server I will see the file here using WIM command WIM abc here I can see the changes reflected now the application is this in our department we have NFS server in which we have the home directories of all students and all the machines in the labs are NFS clients so whenever a student logs on any of the machine he can see his own home directory from any machine through the NFS configuration so you need not copy your data every time you go to some different machine every way every of your data will be there in your home directory and it can be accessible through any of the client machine now the fourth slide is simple what you had done in client installation you had mounted the directory using mount command but on every reboot you do not want to run this command again and again so what you can do is on the client side slash etc slash fs tab you can write entries like this ip will be the ip address of the server this is the directory to be mounted from the server this is the directory on the client and we are specifying the file system type as NFS this this and this has to be written on the same single line so these are not the two lines this has to be written defaults and all this has to be written after NFS preferably using tabs in between so with this configuration on every reboot of the your client machine these directories will be automatically mounted and you need not run the third mount command again and again okay that is how we have completed the NFS client server installation and configuration process thank you


Hey everyone, today we're gonna have a conversation about the Nintendo Switch. Which, hey, where is my Switch? Son, have me my Switch. There it is, hold on. Ugh, ugh. All right, all right, all right. There it is, there's my little old Switch OLED. Is it dead? It's probably dead. Oh wait, nope, we're good. Awesome. So, here is my Nintendo Switch. I have put thousands of hours of gameplay into this platform. Behind me, you'll also see a PlayStation 5, right? I got my controller right here for it. I actually got two controllers for it. I also have the Xbox Series S. You can't see it, it's just off camera, but I have my controller there for that with the charge stand here.  The thing about the Switch that is interesting to think about is this idea of whether it is a secondary or a primary console. And the thing to think about that in 2023 is what does it even mean to be a secondary and a primary? In order to even have this conversation, you have to have some preset definitions. What's interesting though, is that there are definitions for primary and secondary. These definitions exist. They've existed for a long time. They go well beyond gaming. And unfortunately, sometimes people like to skew what those definitions are. They'll say, oh, it's based on power. Oh, it's based on third party support. It's based on this, it's based on that. A bunch of subjective viewpoints rather than looking at the objective reality of, well, primary and secondary. What does primary mean? So primary's definition, just doing a little quick Google search, the first thing as an adjective is of chief importance or principle or earliest in time or order or as a noun, a primary color, as a verb. He gives us some politics stuff. The point is primary is this thing that came first or this thing that is of the most important to you. As an example, what's more important, right? Like what's your primary use case of a given item? Again, it's gonna be whatever is most important to you. What controller is better to you? This subjective viewpoint that creates your primary controller you use on a given platform. Primary is obviously the most important thing to you. Now, secondary has a definition as well. And the definition of secondary is, well, as you would guess, coming after or less important than. Now, Nintendo Switch came before the Xbox Series X and S and the PlayStation 5, but that doesn't necessarily fit the definition of primary or secondary in terms of when talking about game consoles. Really, it comes down to which console do you use the most, right? What is your preference for gaming? Whether you're a multi-console gamer or a single console gamer, we all have our preferences. I just pointed out how I have an Xbox Series S and a PlayStation 5, the disc version in fact, and a Switch OLED. I also have multiple gaming PCs. This is a gaming laptop. I also have a gaming computer, a gaming capable computer. So I have pretty much the entire spectrum. I don't have a Steam Deck yet, but that's neither here nor there. It's just a mobile form of the PC gaming I already enjoy. So when we talk about primary, secondary, and anything after that, it's just ordering which system is more important to you. So in the discussion of if this platform is a secondary platform, it's really subjective. I can argue right now, this is my primary gaming platform. If I get in a bind and I need to sell some things to make some money and I want to hold on to one of these systems, the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series S are going long before my Switch. Now, yes, I am obviously a Nintendo content creator and that can't be ignored that naturally because of that, the Switch is gonna have a bit more importance to what I do here on YouTube, but it also has a bit more importance to my personal preference in gaming. The Nintendo Switch at the time of recording right now has 131 exclusive games. The PlayStation 4 has less than half of the amount of exclusive titles. The Switch has, the Xbox has even less than that. So that means the combined exclusive output of Microsoft and Sony to date cannot match the exclusive output of this single system. Now, that is something I put a lot of emphasis on. I enjoy a lot of the exclusive content on Switch more than the other platforms. And again, I have them for the exclusive content, maybe a few third-party games. Heck, I use my PC primarily for third-party games. The point I'm trying to make though here is that for me, the Switch is my primary gaming platform despite having other systems. I own this before those systems and on top of that, I actually spend a majority of my time gaming on this system because I prefer the exclusive content that's only available legally on Nintendo Switch. So to me, it's a no-brainer that this is a primary system. Now, for many people, your primary system will be your only system. You might only have a PlayStation 5 or an Xbox Series or a PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. You may only have a Nintendo Switch or a gaming PC. It is entirely possible that you're a one-system owner and in that case, your primary is clear. It's whatever system you're playing on. And believe it or not, there are millions of people that only game on a Nintendo Switch. It is the only system they have and then thus it's their primary platform. So in this debate over primary versus secondary, it really comes down to preference. If I had to go in order right now of what my primary and secondary systems are, this would be my primary system. The Xbox would be my secondary. My PC would be third and the PlayStation 5 would be fourth. That's just the current order in which I prefer playing games. I'll hop on this then Xbox and PC, then PlayStation. Obviously, you know, when certain games come out like for Spokane coming up, maybe I end up playing a bit more PlayStation for a week but that's just for a week. I'm gonna end up back on this playing Fire Emblem and many other titles that I am still trying to catch up on like Xenobig Chronicles 3. So my entire point of this video is that there is no right answer for what's primary or secondary. But what is true is that we should never boil down any platform as a secondary platform. Now, for you personally, if you wanna go as a PC gamer and go, this is an excellent secondary platform for you, that's awesome. I'm really happy for you. Also, in addition to being really happy for you, jippy and secondary for you doesn't mean it's secondary for somebody else. This is why this debate sort of rages on because a lot of Nintendo-only gamers are going to be very upset if you try to act like their system is less than other platforms because you wanna diminish it over its power, over its graphics, or you wanna diminish it because it doesn't get Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed and Cyberpunk and all these other big third-party games. Meanwhile, the fact remains, there's over 131 exclusive content on this system. You can't play anywhere else legally. So that's a pretty good argument to really be into. And the sales show, every time a new exclusive game drops on Switch, it sells like gangbusters and it keeps doing it even here in 2023. Don't be surprised when we find out that Fire Emblem Engage is magically the fastest selling Fire Emblem game to date. Probably going to happen. Don't be surprised if Tears of the Kingdom fires out the gate faster than Breath of the Wild did. And you're pushing a narrative of console wars. I mean, look at this. There's definitely no console wars in my house. The Switch might be my primary platform but I game on everything. I get to experience the whole wide world of gaming because of what I do here on YouTube and because of my personal gaming preferences. This system doesn't fit all of my needs. Nor does PlayStation, nor does Xbox, nor does the gaming PC. I'm a bit of a wild card of a gamer. I sort of need a little bit of everything because I enjoy everything. So the way I look at this is, hey, if Switch is your secondary system, that's 100% right for you. If it's your primary system, it's also 100% right for you. There is no raw definition of what's primary and secondary out there. Some people try to argue because it's a handheld, it's secondary. Kind of funny, because I know some people out there that literally only game on handhelds. Have you been to Japan? Go ahead and go over there and tell them this is a secondary platform when it's pretty much the only thing they game on. It's just, it's a silly argument. It's a silly argument to be made. Every system can be secondary. Every system can be primary and it's up to the individual. What I will say is, this thing's about to cross 120 million unit sales and it's led the NPD for five straight years. Also, fun fact about Switch that people aren't talking about yet because the official numbers aren't out, but as soon as we get them on February 7th, it's going to be true. This has moved over a billion units in software, more than any other Nintendo system ever. People are buying games like crazy on this thing. It's also on pace to become the best selling system of all time. People don't want to talk about that, of course, because they can't fathom something passing the PlayStation 2 or even the DS, but it's on pace and depending on when that next system comes, it very well could do that. It's already going to be over a billion in software units. I don't know when it's going to stop, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, 2 billion. I have no idea where the road stops for it. What I do know is, it's the little system that could. And I think that bothers some people that Nintendo is selling 2015 tech in 2023 to the tune of 20 million units a year. I just think the success of Switch and the continued success is bothering some people into pushing console wars and bringing back the secondary versus primary debate, which is completely irrelevant. I think what we need to understand at this point is that no matter what they say, this is a runaway success. It's a runaway success. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series so far are success stories as well. The Steam Deck for the market it's in is also a success story. It's just, it's facts. It's also facts that Steam Deck isn't a threat to Switch but that's a video for a different day. Thank you guys so much for tuning in. You guys are amazing and awesome. You guys let me know, what's your primary and secondary systems or do you only have a primary? What are your thoughts on this entire debate? Thank you guys and I'll catch you in that next video.


Okay, so now we're looking at the internal the abdominal cavity. So your inferior vena capa is the large one here The descending aorta is the large one really adjacent to it So starting up here at the top you can see the hepatic going to the liver arteries and veins See the gastric going towards the stomach arteries and veins splinic going over to the spleen artery in vein The renal arteries and veins go into the kidneys So we find the renal vein here immediately above it and immediately below it is the superior and inferior Mesenteric arteries and veins the aorta and the vena conva branch down here at the bottom and these branch to form the External iliac arteries and veins and then branching off of the external iliac artery and vein is the internal iliac arteries and veins And finally this section down here below the branch is the median sacral artery

Thank you all very much for coming out tonight. See if that's better. OK. Thank you all for coming out tonight to this, I guess, of the concluding event for One City, One Book. I wanted to start off, as I hinted or told Gus earlier, by talking about the beginning of the book, essentially the origins of the book. I think from there we'll go on to other things tonight, but particularly that because if not correct me if I'm wrong, but I asked you earlier when you had started the book, and you said it around 42 when you started writing it, I guess. And I found that very interesting because it's essentially an autobiographical novel, and most autobiographical novels that you read are usually written by people in their 20s near that time, especially if you're writing about their youth. You're usually not that big of a lapse of time. So I wanted to start off by asking you, why at 42 did you feel the need to revisit your childhood? Do you see that picture behind us? That's a very, very slow kid. He may look OK, but in fact, he's legally blind. He doesn't understand English. He can't fight, and he's in a fighting neighborhood. So I was really slow, Oscar. That took 20 odd years. But if you really follow the popcorn trail, it has two remarkable pieces to it, I think. One is early library reading and great English teachers. And the other was our seven-year-old daughter, who was the same age that I was when my American odyssey began. And when she asked us, we had just received photos of our long-lost, disconnected family members in China, in Shanghai, in Beijing, in Xi'an.  And these were cousins. These are the children of my father's older brother. And we believed they had perished during the Cultural Revolution, in fact, if not earlier. And here they were, alive, writing to us in America and sending pictures. And Jenna said, I have three grandparents, and I'm missing a granny. Where is she? And I said, oh, she died a long time ago. And Jenna asked a very strange question for her, who she's never known, a mean mother. And she said, was that your mommy, and was she nice? And I said, yeah, that was my mommy. And I have a hard truth to tell you. And that is, she was never very proud of me, and we never got along very well. And Diane, my bride, said, Gus, Jenna's asking about your real mother, not your stepmother.  I said, oh, I don't remember anything about her. I was five when she passed away. And Jenna's eyes grew really huge, because she thought, this is my daddy. He can reach the tall shelves. He can do second grade arithmetic. He knows every word in the vocabulary test. And he knows colors. So this is a very, very, he's a genius. How would he not know his own mommy? And it was that question which drove me to interview my three older sisters, who had escaped with our mother from China during the war, largely on foot, four females alone, to interview them and write down a journal. And that journal became China Boy. How long did that take to interview them? And did you interview other people besides your sisters? No, only them. We really had been disconnected from other members of the family and from our mother's friends. And that's because of the evil stepmother, who had really sealed off her life. It was like, my mommy died twice, once caporially in the second, spiritually in memory. And that was a murder, the second one was a murder. But it was just my three older sisters. I knew my father would not talk about his first wife. He would not talk about China or the past. So it was just the three of them. That took really a weekend. We sat down, the four of us, and I interviewed, I used to be a DA. I interviewed them as if I were preparing for a homicide trial. See what a DA has to do in those cases is you have to bring the deceased to life because the defendant is gonna sit there in a suit, not looking at all like the night in which he killed. And the deceased will come into the courtroom as autopsy photos from CSI. So we have to humanize the victim so she's present. So construct a narrative. Exactly. What time did she get up in the morning? What sort of friends did she have? What kind of books did she read? And so forth, what were her values? So that's what I asked my three older sisters and the result was after a long weekend enough material to write the first fourth of China Boy. Now had you taken any sort of writing classes? Anything on those lines when you started this? Nothing, nothing. When the thing got written and the thing got written this journal in three months. So it was clearly not, I was not acting on my own because I'm not that smart. So I got help, but in any event, we then had to find a literary agent. How many of you know literary agents? We didn't know any and we had to find a literary agent and the literary agent had to find a publisher. Right, and not go to the phone. So the literary agent ended up with Jane Distal, one of the best in the business. And she has a voice like Vito Corleone. So she says, Gus. Yes. This is Jane Distal. I have some questions for you if I may. Of course. What writing program did you come out of? I said, I didn't, I was never been in no writing program. Well, you majored in creative writing in English. No, I went to an engineering school. Well, you've gone to writers conferences and you're in a writing group. I said, no, and I'm thinking, this is all a big mistake. I'm really sorry I bothered you, forget it, it was a bad idea. Anyway, no background. You must have read. Except for the library. Coming to the main library as a kid, later Parkside Branch as a teenager, reading voraciously. And again, as I said, I had a phenomenal senior composition teacher, Mrs. Marshall. And my first freshman English instructor, Prof at West Point, Captain Polonic. They were gifted teachers.  Although I still didn't see myself as being capable of writing a book. While you're writing it, or let me back up. After you finished the book, did you notice any influences of anyone you read in the book?  I mean, in terms of style and in terms of the way you were writing.  You have about five or six different dialects going at once. And I wanted to find out like, how did you go about trying to get those sounds on the page the way you did? It's not unlike Mark Twain, with Huckleberry Finn and that sort of thing. Well, it's funny you mentioned Twain because as I was recounting conversations between Toussaint and Toussaint's a real person, Kim got to see Toussaint at Lidquake a couple of weeks ago.  Here's this dialogue between Toussaint and me. And I have not thought about what Toussaint and I had to say for decades when I'm writing this.  And it's all coming back to me for my daughter. And I have this flash of Huck and Big Jim. Except in that conversation, Huck is the one who knows just a little bit more about French than Big Jim does. And in every conversation with Toussaint, I know nothing and Toussaint knows everything. But I did think of Twain. And then I put it into a very Chinese conscience, which is, let me get this straight.  So I got rid of that thought very quickly. It seemed inappropriate. Oh, it's all right. You're very kind. Well, it's all right. Well, and so given that Toussaint's a real person, Coach Tony is a real person. True, your sisters, they're real people.  So why write is a novel and not is a memoir? Have you, do the words confuzer, Confucius mean anything to you? So there's this notion that if you're in a Confucian family and you write about your parents, you're dead. Not only that, you've done something horrible to all the before-borns. And going way back, I mean, eons, millennia.  So I thought, just because my father was very smart, that if I changed the names, he wouldn't get it. I mean, here I am at the time I wrote this, I was the trainer for California's prosecutors. And I was not naive about life. I mean, really, I'd grown up in the underbelly and I'd prosecuted some very, very difficult people. And there were no mysteries left in life, but I thought if I wrote the book under Augustus Lee, my formal name, dad would never figure it out. Not smart, but anyway, I changed the names. I took my father out of the story. He was really not a good father and not a good husband. Excuse me. And thinking that that would offend him far less than if I revealed him in reality. Even if I, if I only represented half of what he was, he would be humiliated in Chinatown, in San Francisco at work, and Confucian or not. There's no story worth that. Plus, it wasn't gonna get published, but I didn't want our children to know how genuinely scary their kong kong, their grandfather was. I mean, he was pretty scary to them already, but if they knew that he was worse than that, that wasn't information they needed at their tender ages. So I had lots of reasons, besides fear, to change the name and just write it as a novel. Would you, if you had it to write over again, would you change that?  You still would do it that way? No, there is, my father and I at that time did not have a good relationship.   I mean, in terms of what you're writing it, or you would have just been, this is what happens. But revealing it would have had the effect. You know, it's sort of like, I remember, I was, I really was blind. I had 20 over 800 and was 20 over 900 vision.  I just thought the world was a very confusing place and didn't understand until nine that there's a world out there. But in the boxing ring, there's no room for classes. So I went back to being blind even after I had them. And I remember I was boxing this kid named Connie and we were just shadow boxing. We weren't supposed to make contact. But I misjudged the distance and I really clocked them.  So I was shadow boxing, I felt contact and then Connie wasn't there anymore. It's like, where'd Connie go? And that's what it would have been like to tell the truth in China Boy in 1991 when the book was published about my father. Maybe I wouldn't have intended to clock them but I would hit them right or in his face. Sure. Were you reading the novel when I was surprised by more anything else?  And if you want to comment on this, that'd be great. One is, you know, the 50s generally have been thought of as being some sort of golden age. You know, where everybody got along, kids were safe, you could put them on the street. It was beautiful. You know, gardenias all over the inner city. It was a great place. And yeah, it's little better than Deadwood the way you write about it. There's a lot of hurt and there's a lot of discontent. There's a lot of poverty going on. That's number one. Number two, what was also very surprising was to see actually how multicultural San Francisco already is at that point. This is, you know, it's already a place at least, you know, in your neighborhood where you have people of different ethnicities who connect with each other and do so in frankly in a very open way. So if you, when you were writing the novel, did it surprise you to remember that, that that's actually the way things were?  So we were living basically in a hellhole, you know? First on the 50s, it went a great question. I hate questions that require me to think and this one definitely doesn't. But 50s were both. It wasn't a dillock time because I remember very clearly from the men in the neighborhood who began to drift away as the 50s deepened. And these are African-American men who were all World War II veterans and what it meant to them to not be in war anymore. I remember African-American families talking about not being in the Jim Crow South anymore, not living under really immoral punishing, degrading segregation, I mean, lethal segregation. So San Francisco was haven from Jim Crow South. It was haven from being in the ETO and the Pacific Theater of Operations where half a million Americans died. So that was real. It was a time when politeness and civility had greater sway in popular culture than now. People had the same dislikes and the same prejudices and the same bigotry. I think that is invested in much of human nature. But there were only very limited circumstances in which that could be voiced. I'm not saying that was better, but it was different. On the other hand, poverty of spirit and poverty of purse are human conditions. And we only think that they don't exist because we're not looking at it. It's there now, it's in the city now. In many ways it's more pronounced than it was when I was a kid growing up in the 50s. And it's certainly in the world. So I think that's a continuous reality. I was in a school today where I saw two young men who could have been, except for the dramatic age difference, buddies of mine, running buddies from the panhandle, both kids of color and was so much hurt and disregard and fear about their lives inside them that they had to punch each other out. And they spread fear to others so that adults who were watching this did not intervene. The violence was paralyzing. And that could have been Roosevelt Junior High. That could have been Anza Elementary. Fremont Elementary in the panhandle where I went to school. That plays out in the novel. You can see that with the bullies that it's a cycle of violence or a cycle of abuse, where the father beats on him, he goes out and he beats on the weaker guy and so forth and so on. We live as we learn. And did you at any point realize when you were writing this novel, you were writing a great sports book, by the way? Because it has some of the best descriptions about boxing. I'm a boxing fan. And I was really delighted to see so much attention brought to the detail of what goes in to create a boxer. Could you comment more on that? I mean, do you still box? Do you still follow sport, anything like that? Only remotely. I really did that sport when I left San Francisco at the age of 17 to go to West Point. I went down to the Central Y on 220 Golden Gate in Leavenworth and I said goodbye to Tony. Tony was really my father. And well, I'll never forget is that he apologized when I was saying goodbye. What I wanted to say is, you know what kid?  You looked like a toothpick and a tutu. You looked like a shrimp on a hook.   Now you go to West Point, you do a good job and you think of me every now and again and you find something like St. Boniface light a candle for me. That's what I expected him to say. Instead he says, you know, I'm really sorry that you ended up boxing 10 years from me because I know the only reason you did it was me, that you don't have the heart of a fighter. You got the heart of a peacemaker and he sort of said it like it was a curse, but you know, for Pete's sake and that's really true. If Tony had taught painting, who knows, you know? But boxing was actually the time. You get green oil colors if you get any thrashed later. But I needed boxing, Oscar I really did because I was a physical coward and I lived on hard streets. So I needed that in order to grow and I needed to learn. And if there's a lesson to boxing and to China Boy for youth, I think it's this, that we all have opportunities to face our fears and we all have, we live in a culture of fear, but if we can face that fear, whatever it is that has hounded us or hounds us, then we have a real opportunity to be our best selves. We make lots of reasons to run away from it but they're not good reasons. And that's what Tony taught me. So I admire boxing. I do watch it. We have a body bag, hangs in our backyard. You don't flick a K-bar at it or anything? No. He didn't pick that up. That you didn't pick up, the flying kinks and everything. Well, you don't want to show that to your kids. A K-bar is a Marine Corps bayonet knife, which Pinoy learned to throw as a weapon. But I still hit the bag just for exercise. And our son, Eric, who's now 20, is an amazing martial artist. And he makes the bag sing the way Tony and Bobby and Pinoy used to make that. What's interesting, part of the point, though, of learning boxing or anything like that, at least what I took away from him is that when you're in control, when you know what you're doing, you're thinking. And when you're thinking, it's funny, it's like the better prepared you are, the less chance you're probably gonna get in a fight. It's a sort of paradoxical, which I thought, which is one of the things that like, for example, Coach Lewis and the novel sort of embodies this whole keen man who could thrash anybody, but that's not what he's about. In fact, he's a very, seems to be a very calm, very peaceful, thoughtful person. Exactly. And he turns into like a thinking man's game, frankly, that it's not just swinging your fist, it's not just beating someone up. It's even the idea of respecting the opponent, this sort of thing, as telling them thank you, thank you for the fight, that sort of thing. Preparing, I guess, for struggle, which is life, what's life is gonna be? And it's really, I mean, what I loved about the why and I continue to love about the why is that it taught principles. And yeah, life is a struggle and life's gonna be a challenge and there'll be real hard days, maybe even hard years. If you're unlucky, hard decades, but it all won't be hard. And that if you prepare yourself, and they were really training us to be men.   Usually, this is the sort of thing you address to people when they're 15, 14, saying, now it's time to be a man and these guys are starting right off the bat. Boxing, man, boxing in San Francisco in the 1950s was a culture. There were, in this city alone, and it's a much smaller city back then, there are easily 50,000 guys that had a box because that's what you learned in the YMCA's. That's what you learned in the police athletic leagues. That's what you did in the Army and everyone went in the Army. I mean, all men did who were qualified. So it was part of the culture. It was as common to know, in my opinion, for men in the 1950s to know how to box. I mean, not to master it, but to know how to box as there are men today who know how to operate a cell phone. That's as common as it was. It was a given. Yeah. Now, let me ask you something that's scary. Okay. Did you really get beat down like that like at the end of the novel?  Oh, yeah. Oh, my. Well, in fact, worse. So here are some things that are not true in the book. Okay. Number one, the chapter would where Kai Ting meets with the Gumsang, the chess club in China. That never happened. I walked in on them and was chased out. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. They go, I wanna get out. So you mean they didn't like getting little kids drunk? Yeah. That wasn't, they never happened, all right. And there was, S.Y. Shen, my uncle, whose uncle's Shim in the book, did play chess and did say good things about the chess association to me, but I never, that whole evening never occurred. That was the suggestion of Gary Luke, tremendous editor at Penguin. Number two, Kai Ting takes about two and a half years, is my guess in the book. Why am I guessing I wrote it? But that's my sense, about two and a half years from first lesson with Tony until he can beat Big Willie Mack. It was four years. But there were so many years of more beatings that Diane said, gosh, this is too much. Too much of a good thing, take them out. So I compressed the time. And a Washington Post book editor who is African-American caught that in a heartbeat. He said, the only, it was a fine book, da, da, da. But the only problem I have is how does a nine year old kid, because I think he's about nine or 10 of this, how does he fight that well? Well, the fact is he doesn't. The fact is he's 11 going on 12 when it really happens. And how old was Big Willie by this point? 28. You mean chronologically or body size? Body size, 28. Chronologically. No one really knew how old he was, but my guess is he was 14. Yeah, and that's the other, getting back to that again about the cycle of abuse and the sort of stuff you touch upon is you really, you make him out to be such a tragic figure in the end. He doesn't seem to have anything. The poor guy really, in fact, and that was one of the things again that caught my attention in the novel was how all, even though when the coaches are getting ready for this big showdown, the emphasis is still being placed that, he's not evil. That's right, yeah. He's just basically confused and he's gonna keep hurting you until you defend yourself, but he's not evil.  No, I believe in evil. I've seen evil. It's real. I didn't think Big Willie was evil. He was a kid, but you get to your late teens, get in your 20s, and after that, it's evil. I mean, to me, there's absolutely no doubt. It doesn't mean I don't think that we should change in response to facing evil. I think in each case, whether we're facing someone who's troubled and recoverable, or we're facing someone who's evil and will not change, we are still, this is YMCA training, this is also out of Zion AME Church. I was in two African American churches as a child and they really helped form me and is that sort of render to no one evil for evil. And in my worst fights, I really tried not to be evil. I really tried to be principled about what I was doing. The fact that it was desperate was not cause to change principles. Okay, let me ask you this. So what's become of all the people in the novel? For example, Toussaint, you said you met up with him again. So now what's going on with Toussaint? So what would you guess Toussaint is doing? This kid who was a savior of other children, beginning at the age of seven. What do you think he is now? Preacher, minister, teacher, social worker? You know, he's all of those things and he does it in the guise of being a family practice medical doctor for Kaiser Permanente Fresno. So there were two of us that I know of, two males who came out of the panhandle in that generation who were not drafted to go to Vietnam. Two of us. One, because I had enlisted. And second, Toussaint, who got a 2S student deferment to go to UCSF and then UCSF medical school. Think of how many African-American guys had that opportunity in the 60s. I know of one. And the irony is when we got together, when Toussaint, Diane, this is a beautiful story but there's no time to tell it. Diane found this time. Yeah, sure. So Diane comes down to the study while I'm writing the journal for our daughter, Jenna, and I'm crying. And she knows I don't cry very well. So this is pretty bad. And she's worried what's wrong. And I said, he choked up. I said, I just remembered that I was a very at risk kid and that I almost didn't make it as a kid, but that I was rescued. And the rescuer that I'm thinking of right now was my first friend and his mother. And he was my first best friend too. And there's so much that he put into me and I never thanked him. I just accepted it. And I remember when I tried to be black and I remembered after that I tried to be white. And when I tried to be white, it no longer served me to be a black would-be street fighter. That was really scary behavior.  And in that self-telling in my cowardice, my moral cowardice, my desire to be accepted in the next neighborhood that I had forgotten Tucson. His name's Tucson Diane and he saved my life and I got to find him. I don't know where he is. And because I'd been in the military and I'd been in law enforcement, I was able to look him up in military records and FBI records. Every government record that exists and he didn't exist. He hadn't made it to the age of 18 because he came up with nothing. And Diane said, you know, I don't believe that. I used a scientific and empirical approach. I put in Tucson, Maseo Street, I put in his birth date, pinpoint he didn't exist. So he had died. A lot of kids in the neighborhood died. So he had died because I'd left there when still in junior high. Diane said, I'm gonna find him. And I remember being angry. It's like, how can I mourn two signs passing if you keep this silly idea alive that he's around? So she's teaching at Merritt Hospital in Oakland. And she says, it's very important for us, she's a nurse, very important for us to tell the stories of our patients. That's how we tell moral truths. It's through our patient's stories. My husband learned that because he just wrote a book about his childhood in which he remembered his relationships with his best friend, Toussaint. That was her search, her formal search. His good friend, Toussaint. And how important Toussaint was to him and that in fact, it was part of his survival. After the talk, people come up to talk to her. She's amazing, so big crowd. But anyway, afterwards, one woman remains and she's a nurse and her name is Rose Mew. And Rose says, did you say the name Toussaint? And Diane says, yes, I did. Do you know someone named Toussaint? She's like, I surely do, I work with him. Where do you work? Kaiser Permanente Fresno. So my gosh, well, what's your Toussaint's last name? She says, Street, which is my Toussaint's name. And Diane screams. There are people picking up plates on the back and they drop them. And she says, do you know if he's, would he be like in his 40s? Oh yeah, I think that's about right. Do you know if he came from, anyway of talking to him? She says, sure, it's before cell phones. Wanderer pay phone, she says, this is Rose Mew. This is an emergency. I need Dr. Street. Dr. Street, this is Rose Mew. I'm up at Merritt and I want you to talk to this here, lady. All right, would you do that? Cause I think we're in the middle of a miracle. So she passes the phone over and she gives it to Diane. She says, this is not the first time this has happened to me. Diane says, is your name Toussaint Street? Yes. Did you grow up in San Francisco? Yes. Who is this? Did you grow up in the Panhandle? Yes. Do you remember a little Chinese boy named Gus Lee? It's a long pause. The voice says, of course I do. He was my best friend. Very good. When Toussaint and I got together that weekend. Yeah, Diane. And she says the rest of this conversation is, I cannot believe I am so delighted to meet you by phone. Toussaint, my name is Diane and I'm Gus's wife. And we have two precious children together. And he will be so happy to know that you're around. We thought you were not in the world. And he said, it's the strangest thing. But about two years ago, I started having these dreams about Gus. And there are a lot of Asian medical staff down here in Fresno. And they started wondering why this guy was coming up to him and saying, do you know Gus Lee? Have you ever heard of a Chinese guy named Gus Lee? And just the other day, finally had this Asian doctor turn to me and say, Toussaint, I look, you're the head of our department and I really, I admire you and everything. Why are you singling me out for all this attention, for lunch and everything? He said, well, you kind of remind me of a friend I had. And I just, this is, it started two years ago. And two years ago was when I started writing the journal and started crying about Toussaint and my study. So when we got together, I hugged him in the street, I hugged him in his car, I hugged him, you know, we could never hug in the 50s, but I was hugging him like, you know, it was going out of style and he gets out of the car, I hug him, I hug him on the stairs and everything. They're kids, kids and my kids are laughing and we're pretty entertaining to them.  So, Touss, thank you, man, for giving me my life. And he looked at me and it was the weirdest thing, he just looked at me and he made this face like, and then he said, what you talking about? No, no, what you is like, that's not good. What are you talking about? Okay, but what you is like, what you talking about? And it was like, are there two, cause this looked like Toussaint. It was like this beautiful smile, this incredible smile. He had that smile and when we here we were as middle-aged men and balding and everything and we're saying hello to each other, but that look and that, what you talking about? I mean, if Toussaint didn't get it, that he saved my life and either I'm crazy or this is not Toussaint and I didn't think I was crazy. So, what you talking about? I said, what do you mean, what are you talking about? And I thought you taught me how to laugh, how to walk, how to smile, how they tried to teach me how to fight. You taught me how to play round ball. You taught me how to hit a baseball. You tried to teach me how to hit a curve. You really taught me how to talk back when I had to talk back and be silent when I had to be silent.  Like, none of this makes sense. And he kind of look at me, well, you know there's a little bit of that. I said, a little bit of that. He says, I never got to thank you. Okay, at this point I'm thinking, yeah, every time we crossed the hate, passed, went through the panhandle to the hate, we call it the, I thought it was H-A-T-E, the hate. There are some hard boys over there. But we go over to the hate and, you know, we're Tucson, people look at Tucson and say, yeah, I'm gonna tussle with him. I don't think so. But then they say, what's that China boy doing with that kid? Hey, blood, what are you doing with that China boy? And then Tucson would be in trouble that he'd never get without me. So it's like, thank you. Yes, Gus, thank you for all those fights I got into because of you. Those names I got called because of you, you know. Ripped up close, you know, it's like, yeah, you're welcome to, don't mention it, you know. But he said, no, do you remember that first day in Mrs. Halloran's class? Second grade, I said, no. I'm the one who wrote the book about this, no. And he said, well, there was a trash can fire. And he named a kid, I don't remember his name, but he was erasing the, and Mrs. Halloran had written very carefully her name and the class, you know, second grade, very beautiful penmanship, remember that? I'm sure it's still being done. But anyway, it was being erased because one kid had another kid in a headlock and was erasing the whole board with his head. Other kids were punching each other out. Someone had taken a trash can from another classroom and thrown it through the window, breaking it. So there was glass all over the place and our trash can was on fire. So I mean, it torched it. Second grade? Second grade. First day of second grade. And the teacher, he says to me, where was the teacher? And I said, Tucson, I don't have glasses those days. I have no idea where she was. You know, when she was teaching, I didn't know where she was. And he said, dang, you don't remember anything. It was just like being back in the hood again. And he said, she was holding on to you. I said, you're kidding.  And she was holding on to you with both hands. Everything else was in turmoil. And I remember what mama said to me, which is you get the teacher to be on your side. You treat, you respect that teacher like you respect me. And so I said, okay, that's cool.  Before long, she was holding on to me too. She says, why do you think I went to Lowell, the academic high school? Why do you think I got into college from the panhandle and became a doctor because you showed what a student does? You know, I'm going. You know, stupidly was back at those days. I had no idea what was going on. They were speaking in English. So here is my great Tucson, thank you so much. And he would have none of it because he's Tucson.  So he makes up this fabricated thing about how I put my hands together on top of my knees and it got him in medical school. Very nice, very nice. Well, I think at this point I might turn it over to, I guess, brief questions. I think we have a little bit of time for questions from the audience. So Rosie, maybe over there will be, but raise your hand if you want to ask us anything and she'll come by with the microphone. I grew up in San Francisco as well and wondered how you ended up in the hate when most people lived in Chinatown and was beached that area. Yeah, what were we thinking, right? It came about because my father's employer and they were kinsmen in Shanghai in China. So they came to the United States at the same time, owned an apartment building in the Panhandle. Because I had early TB, it was recommended that I not live in Chinatown. So that apartment, the upper flat of this apartment building, 2085 Golden Gate, was given free to my father and my mother and my sisters and I to live in. So that's how we ended up there. It was because of my health condition or lack of health. Oh, that was great for your health apparently. Yeah. Just the right move. Yeah, I learned how to breathe real deeply. Running for my life. It's gonna let blood out to cool down that feeling. That's right. Another question from the audience. I guess how have your kids reacted to the book? It's funny, I put it into three stages. Number one is at seven and five, they were too young to read it and I had put in the salty language of the streets. I didn't want them reading it. So I would tell them stories from it. Second stage is where friends asked them, what do you think of China Boy? And they'd say, oh, it was a great book because they, without having actually cracked the pages, well, they cracked the pages, but without actually having read it, they had heard enough of the stories where they thought they had read it. And then third was when people, when schools that they were in adopted the book and made it required reading for certain classes out of guilt, they then read it. But it was much later than I would have guessed. How did your relatives and particularly your stepmom feel about how they were cast in the book? I don't know my stepmother's reaction because she had passed away. I say this as a joke, I have said it as a joke. And I'm gonna say it aloud. I'm gonna test it right now to see if this is real. The line goes like this, if my stepmother were still alive, I'd still be in the army and a bachelor. I think it's true. I imagined having a wife. I imagined bringing that wife into reaching distance, punching distance of Edith's range. Her real name was Edith, not Edna. And then my whole body would just grow cold. So I don't think I really, I think I would have stayed in the army and it would have been a very meaningful career for me. I appreciated the military deeply. It was like a continuation of the YMCA, about principles and about taking chances for your buddies. And I honor that. But, so she never got to read it because by the time she had passed away, that allowed me to court Diane and get married and have children and bring the children to the world without the fear that Edith would do something to them. Looks like we have time for one more question. What became of your three sisters? Well, wonderful things really. Eleanor, let's see, can I remember my own book? Jennifer, her real name is Eleanor, Chinese name Awa. Our first born, she's an amazingly artistic, elegant person. She lives in New York, with a wonderful husband. Their whole story is summed up in this one. He courted her, he took her to Europe and they bought a basin dorfer and a Steinway matching grand piano so that they could play together. Ying, my middle sister, was in this very room earlier in the year for literary luminaries. Is it luminaries? Laureates. Laureates, I knew that was wrong. But it's a luminaries story. Laureates, sorry. And she and I are probably the closest in terms of relationship. And she lives in Berkeley. She was a very important politician in Berkeley for many years and worked for Ron Dellums in DC. And my youngest sister, Mary, Janie, let's see, Megan is Ying and Janie is Mary. Mary's a medical doctor.  The rest of us are being punished about grades, but don't worry about grades. You're so cute. Just marry a kind man and have lots of babies. So of course, Mary is the one with two master's degrees, a PhD and she's a medical doctor. All right, I think that's, we have one more? Okay, one more question. Thank you. Good evening. I'm from City College. My name is Alex Wu. My question is, after you graduated from West Point, why do you want to carry some job with the military and change to why this China boy book? Thank you. Sure. Great question, Alex. First of all, I didn't graduate from West Point. I flunked out in electrical engineering at the end of my third year. It turns out to be West Point's not a good place to go if you don't plan on studying, but when you're as immature as I was, you don't figure that out until you're out the door and you go, wait a moment, did you just kick me out? Cause I just, cause I don't study. So it was a humiliating event, very painful. And I became a drill sergeant and jumped out of airplanes for a while and then got my commission through ROTC at University of California at Davis and then went back in the Army. I only got out of the Army. I would have stayed in for a career. I'm sorry? No, I didn't go to Vietnam. I went to Korea twice.  If all engagements had occurred in daylight and my glasses never fogged up, I would have done great. But the fact is I would have, in combat I would have put my troops at great risk just cause I was so visually challenged. So luckily I didn't go to Vietnam. Not so much for me, but for the men that would have been looking to me and I would have been leadership by the Braille method. So, but I got out because in my last year of active duty I was gone. They called temporary duty TDY. I was away from home and my wife and our newborn child 300 days. And she just said, this is not a marriage. So you have a choice. You can either get out of the Army or you can leave the service. So wow, I have a choice. So I got out. It was the right decision. How do you incorporate American culture and how do you incorporate American culture peacefully with your Chinese culture? Okay, I think wonderful questions. Thank you. Certainly my first five years with my Chinese mother, my mommy was most formative. After that, most Chinese, because my Chimu, my stepmother was German American, spoke no Chinese, cooked no Chinese dishes. In fact, cooked nothing really. But which is why I came to love Lola, the YMCA cafeteria so much. But most of my Chinese culture then came from going to school in Chinatown. So after public school, Chinese American kids then go to Chinese school in San Francisco. I went to St. Mary's. I was again very dumb because I spoke no Cantonese, only Shanghai and some Hanyu Mandarin, which were totally not understood in Chinatown.  It's like, you look smart, but you are not smart. So I would say that's it. I know from friends at St. Mary's who had full Chinese families and still had Chinese culture, and I would visit with them. So that was it. Certainly the food. Go to a restaurant. 950 Grand Avenue, my other church. But as for melding Chinese and American culture, it is like having eight courses banquet. You get to pick what you like best. There are parts of Chinese culture that American culture can't touch. There are parts of American culture that Chinese culture can't touch. So has it been harmonious blending? No, lots of train wrecks, lots of collisions, lots of grinding discernment. But when the children, when I became a father, the choices became very clear about what parts of Chinese culture we would advance and model and what parts of American culture we would model. Thank you. Are we out of time? Maybe afterwards. That's his next book. The next book is, Gus Lee Gets Concrete. Well, thank you both so much for that rich conversation. I'd like to quickly just tell you a couple of things. I believe you know that Gus will be signing books in the back of the room. We've spent so much time and so enjoyably that it's going to have to be fairly quick because we're gonna be whisked out of here at eight o'clock. So I want to just make sure that folks respect that and kind of get their books in place and move quickly with that. We'd love to hear what people thought about the One City One Book program and about this evening's program and you can let us know through the One City One Book section at the library's website, sfpl.org. I want to again thank everyone that's been involved, especially I want to thank Marilyn and Diane. I want to thank the wonderful Marsha Schneider who makes these things possible at the library and Rosie who has done a wonderful job with this. I want to thank everyone that's participated. I want to thank Books Inc. for being such a gracious sponsor and host and serving great dim sum along with Gus's stories. And thank you all for joining in this great civic reading project. And again, Gus and Oscar, thank you so much. Thank you guys.


Hello, welcome to the Everton News Daily. Everton CEO Colin Chong has responded to the point deduction appeal verdict through a blog today on the Everton website. He said, like all Evertonians, I've been eagerly awaiting the outcome of our appeal against the disproportionate 10 point deduction that was handed to us back in November. On Monday, we learned of the appeal board's decision and we returned to Gwdysun for our fixture against West Ham with four points added back to our overall tally. I'd like to put on record my thanks to the many organised supporter groups and the wider fanbase for their passionate backing of the club and the team during these challenging times. I'm also grateful for your patience and understanding throughout the process. The proactive role of fan advisory board played in submitting a statement to the appeal board, which made very clear the impact on supporters. Monday's announcement was not the end of the journey and we are continuing to prepare our case against our second PSR charge for the accounting period that ended in June 2023, two weeks after my appointment as interim CEO. As we approached the crucial running to the campaign, the continued unity of fans, players and staff is imperative. Premier League rules and legal guidance does not permit me or the club to share any details at this stage of the second commission hearing or the arguments that will be put forward. However, I assure you, we will prepare the most robust case possible in our defence. There you go, song where some call on Chong in terms of a robust defence, but I did hear that for the first one, so hopefully the outcome will be better for this second and obviously the four points coming back will help us. We need to start winning games of football and therefore lessen the impact of a possible second points deduction later in the season. David Moyes has held his pre-match press conference ahead of meeting this former club tomorrow. David Moyes was asked about Shaun Dight and said, I think he's the right man for the job at this moment in time. I think there'll be very few people rather who think he hasn't done a good job there. It seems very tough to play against. You've got to work with what you've got and get the best out of the players you're working with and I think Shaun is doing that. Moyes also referenced the points deduction and said, losing points must have been a huge disappointment and I couldn't tell you what that's like because I haven't experienced it, but I'm sure they'll be well up for the game tomorrow and let's hope we are because we need to start winning home games. We've only won three this season and finally triple seven partners co-founder Josh Wander has spoken to the national media today. He said he is confident that they will get Premier League approval to evidence takeover. He said that once the takeover has gone through rather, I will speak, I want to speak, but at the moment I am unable to do so, but he did admit he was confident that evidence or rather that triple seven would be given full approval by the Premier League to take over at evidence football club. This process has been going on since early September. It was scheduled to take just 12 weeks, we're in week 25. Let's hope this reaches a conclusion certainly one way or the other as soon as possible and at least we'll know then exactly where we stand. That is it for the news day, to give the video a thumbs up, subscribe if you haven't. See you later.
