I think this has been sitting in my to watch to do later since it came out, or since it's been out on this channel for a month. Yeah, for sure. I was there. I just didn't do it. But now I'm here. Let's get into it. He's committed by a cop. Search is still going on. He was very surprised that there was a cop being very dangerous. Probably. Get away with it.  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on. I didn't even know this was what this was. I mean, this should be interesting. To his neighbors in Wilmslow, an affluent town in Cheshire, police inspector Darren McKay and his wife, Leanne, had the perfect life. Married for 13 years, the couple drove brand new cars, went on luxury holidays, and lived in an expensive house. Up beneath the facade, their perfect life was built on a foundation of loans and increasing debt. Until it. That's what you see. Don't worry about what other people look like. Don't worry about what other people's images are. What's going on, y'all? Do not worry about what other people's images view is. Because at the end of the day, if you're in debt as a man, that's depressing. I ain't even going to lie. You only hurting yourself if you worried about what other people thinking. Worry about yourself, honestly.  The pressure became too much for Darren McKay. He couldn't face Leanne's worries about their finances any longer. And he snapped, murdering her in their own home. Then, in an effort to evade justice, he tried to cover up his despicable crime and carry on as if nothing had happened. In a society increasingly driven by image and status, I want to know how the pressures of keeping up with the Joneses can drive someone to murder. I've brought together a crack team of experts who will help me unravel what happened in this case and how McKay's training enabled him to cover up his crime. Pharmatop anti-corruption cop, Julie McKay. Serena Simmons, a leading psychologist. An ex-met murder detective, Howard Groves, who helped solve over 50 murders. They are going to help me understand some of the worst cases of killer cops in Britain and around the world. I'm meeting. I'm definitely going to call this pure evil killer cops in Britain. With former detective superintendent, Julie McKay, who's discovered some more background on this disgraced cop and his wife. Darren and Leanne were married. He was an inspector in the police. And she, too, was a police officer. And she worked as a detective. So there was a police couple. Man, see, I wouldn't date nobody in the same industry. Me personally? Because I don't want to, like, that when you start bringing your work home because y'all work together and y'all not really having a relationship, y'all got a work relationship. This is your work wife. You should have left her at work. We've moved from one house in Manchester to another one that was... RIP. And wanted to have a really nice lifestyle. But the couple's efforts to keep up appearances had started to put a strain on their marriage. Their credit cards have maxed to the hill. They had a great big mortgage on their house. They liked expensive holidays that they couldn't afford and nice cars. They were living beyond their means. So this really is a point where I can imagine if I was in his shoes, he must... I mean, he's sinking. Looks like it. Just after 1 p.m. on Thursday, the 28th of September, 2017, Darren McKay arranged for a surveyor to value the couple's house in connection with a loan application. And so he left work at Strefford police station midway through his shift and headed home. But McKay wasn't just meeting the surveyor that Thursday. He also had other plans. Because before the surveyor arrived at the family home, Darren McKay would murder his wife. And this is a man who hasn't had previous convictions, any allegations of violence. There's been no red flags about Darren McKay at all. Nothing like that for him at all. Sounds like he just snapped. But was this a heat of the moment crime of passion? Or was there something more sinister involved? Stress, man, stress.  You know what I'm saying? You've got to deal with your stresses in the appropriate manner. Suppressing that as, man, we talk to suppress our stress and we'll deal with it internally. No, man. Don't do that. Talk to your boys about it or something. You've got to have an outlet somewhere, man. You can't keep touching them, man, because this will happen. It's super love you, the mattress cover. Ooh, wait a minute. Hold on, wait, wait, wait. You're on to something now? Just my temperature. So right when I enter my bed, it is cold. This might be the best ad that I've ever seen on YouTube. What's this called? Eight Sleep Docs, OK. Got me. I'm meeting up with local journalist Mike McArthur near the couple's home in Cheshire. I'm hoping he can tell me a bit more about this case. I want to know more about what Leanne and Darren were really like as cops and as a couple. What was Darren like as a cop? What was he like amongst his colleagues and friends? He was respected. He was certainly well regarded. He'd risen to the position of inspector. I think the best phrase to describe him was a safe pair of hands. But what do we know about Leanne? Because she was in the force as well, wasn't she? Leanne was in the force as well. She was described in court as a lovely, generous, caring person. And certainly that was supported by the neighbours. She was someone who they really liked, who was trusted and was welcomed into the community in which she'd moved. Where do you think the crack started to happen here with Darren McKay and Lee Shibblyan? When you look back at the history of this couple and their relationship, the skeleton started to stack up in the cupboard right from the word go. It was a safe pair. Every month, they were spending £1,500 above what they could afford. Darren McKay could be very manipulative. Man, you got me... This month, what's this, the eighth? I spent... What have I spent today? I spent four dollars. This month alone, I spent like nine dollars. I ain't living above nothing. Not me.  No, sir. If I'm down bad, I'm down bad. I ain't got nobody to impress. I don't care. And he told her over and over again that it was all being sorted out. That was in control now. But it was always something that worried her. I mean, at one point in the marriage, the couple's family had to bail them out to the tune of £91,000. Wow, very, really serious. Oh, my God. There must have been a point for Lee Shibblyan where things had got to her head. Absolutely. In the month before her death, she discovered that Darren had tried to take out a £10,000 loan. Now, she questioned him about this course and through to form. He denied everything and said, well, this must have been a fraudulent application. So that's, you know, how things have gotten. Darren McKay's mindset at this point, he knows he's spiraling here and he's getting deeper and deeper and deeper in debt. But he's burying his head in the sand. He's not facing his problems. And Lee-Anne didn't realise that things were about to get much worse. When the post arrived on the morning of the 28th of September, 2017, it sparked a chain of events that would end in tragedy. Lee-Anne received the package on the day of her death. She opened the package. She signed for it. It was recorded delivery. She opened it inside was her passport, which she didn't know had been sent away. There was one of her pay slips that Darren McKay had managed to get her username and her password and using police computers in police time. That's a crime in itself. Managed to fraudulently download one of her. Yeah, that's fraud. Pay slips and sign it. He forged his own wife's signature. And that for Lee-Anne was the final straw. So wait, did he have like a gambling addiction or did he just have no, like, he just couldn't control the spending habits? Like, he was the capper of the year. He's out here capping. Darren had abused his position as a police officer. He'd lied to his wife and fraudulently applied for a £54,000 loan, which would plunge them even further into debt. It was too much for Lee-Anne to take. And she sent Darren a text while he was at work. This text was to prove absolutely pivotal in what Darren McKay did next. That is the text that she sent.  Tragically, that text was...  Man, somebody recently told me something, man. Somebody recently told me something. When there's chaos around you and everything seems like it's gone, like, left, don't make any substantial moves. Just sit still. Sit still so you can focus on what's important so you can gather your thoughts. Don't make a rush and hasten, move and do this and do that. Sit still, gather yourself, assess the situation. See, and she should have sat still and assessed the situation and found a little way out, a better way out because this man was on the edge. At that point, he left the station. He was on his way home to confront Lee-Anne for the last time. So this text really is the point and money is the root of all evil. Do you know what dating apps can't do? That events and adventures can't. This commercial heavy. Darren McKay was described as a rising star who had locked up countless criminals in a successful 21-year career at Greater Manchester Police. Away from work, however, he was being crushed under a mountain of debt to keep up a lifestyle he couldn't afford. By September 2017, he had reached breaking point. 2007. Not gonna lie, this looks like no offense. Like I'm just being observant. This house stands out on this block. Like this house looked like, you know what I'm saying? Y'all ever seen Amityville Horror? Like it looked like one of these houses. In team, he had reached breaking point. Psychologist Serena Simmons has studied this case and is gonna give me an insight into McKay's state of mind. So it's what I taught you about Darren McKay. What do you know about him? He was a very respectable police officer. He'd climbed the ranks, was doing incredibly well. Pillar of his community, people looked up to him. So he was married to a beautiful wife, friends and family, just really put them on a bit of a pedestal from what I hear. When you see a case like this... Sounds like a narcissist, like literally. He got so used to being that high on his own, you know what I'm saying? And it's a policeman, obviously. You look for reasons why they would do something like this. And what did we see when you looked at Darren McKay? He seems like the kind of person who needed everything to be in its place. Everything was controlled. And he was in the driver's seat. They had to look a certain way. They had to have a particular house in a particular area. They wanted very specific cars. They were keeping a facade of a family, essentially, who were doing well, but actually behind the scenes, living well beyond their means. We do know that. That's crazy. People really be moving like this, huh? Love and peace is not enough. That's crazy. Do you think Darren kept how much debt and secrets from his wife? I think his wife knew they were in debt. It would have been really hard for her to function in that relationship with the kind of house they had, the cars they had, the holidays they wanted to go on. She would have known about the debt that they were in as a couple, but I do believe he kept a large portion of that very secret from her. His wife found out that he was applying for loans without her knowledge. But at the same time, I do think that he was trying to keep that sense of control across the board. On the salary he was on, he couldn't afford to live the life he was living. Why would he want that pressure to do that? That's a really good question. I think so many people do get into debt for really, really unfortunate reasons. So something could happen to you or me one day and suddenly we find ourselves in a very different set of circumstances. The difference here is that this particular couple seemed to have deliberately over an extended period of time continuously lived beyond their means. In your opinion, would you think that leading up to the day that he committed this? Like, okay, I'm listening to this. Like, he used so much debt. At minimum, this is what I would have did. At minimum, I would have paid the credit cards off and then filed for bankruptcy. Simple as that. I know it's a stain on your, whatever it's a stain on, but like, bro, I'm filing for bankruptcy. And then the rest of the figure itself had over time. But he needed to go talk to somebody. He had a mental thing with spending. He couldn't get it under control. It's horrible. He was addicted. The crime that leading up to the day that he committed this horrible crime, that was this, was it like just a ticking time bomb? If you don't face up to the reality, it will come all crushing down on you one day. Yeah, I really get a sense that he was holding it all together. And I think he felt that if he could control it, if he had the control over it, that it would all be okay. He wasn't the kind of character that dealt well with challenge.  I'm starting to understand this guy's state of mind. But to get to the heart of this case and each to examine what happened in the hours leading up to the murder. I now know. You say you think he had an addiction to burger soup?  But I want to find out more about the horrifying actions that led to her death. Maybe doing that on the side too. I've asked former chief inspector Howard Groves who has over 30 years experience solving high profile cases and murder investigations to help me understand the events of that day. Why do we think Darren did this? He'd obviously received a text from his wife. She had by then received the post and in there were two passports. She'd obviously worked on that he had fraudulently trying to get some money in order to meet the needs of the family. So she sent him a text and said, W2EF, what's happening? So. W2EF don't stand for that. I'm leaving, I'm going home now. But that didn't really ring any bells because he had already indicated that he was going home early that day to see a surveyor. Darren left work earlier than planned and headed home. Later during the investigation, police were able to track his and Leanne's movements that morning on CCTV. He would have driven home, but that meant that his car would have been on CCTV footage all the way so the police were able to track from when he left the police station to when he arrived at home in his vehicle. And that was critical because prior to that, his wife would have had taken the children to school and she would have driven her mini back again so that you would have some continuity. And that's the real thing, like I feel bad for the kids. Like, mom is unalive, dad is in jail for the rest of his natural life probably. He was just saying the car is seen leaving her mini in the morning. Her car comes back and it hasn't left, so she's at home. This placed them both in the couple's home at around the same time that Leanne was murdered. How exactly was Leanne murdered? The pathology was able to say that she had pressure to the throat which created two broken bones in her neck. In addition to that, she also had a cut on the inside of her lip. So maybe it was trying to stop her from screaming or...  And let's face it, he would have had neighbors either side of him. So if she was screaming in fear of her life, then that would be the... I don't... Hold on. I don't think the kids would go to foster care. I think the grandparents would step in or somebody. I don't think they'd let that happen because they're too traumatized to be there in foster care. It was good. Good guy, rage, man. Don't forget to follow. Hit that heart. The natural reaction for him to do. With Leanne dead, Mackay began to plan his next steps. With his knowledge of police methods, could he cover up the murder of his own wife? That's crazy that this is an ad. 2023 is wild. Ex-detective Superintendent Jula Mackay is talking me through the rogue copper's movements following Leanne's death. Darren knows that the surveillance coming at Hopper Swam. We know that at 12.45pm, he is seen reversing her mini off the driveway. So within an hour and a half, he spills her, put her in the boot of the car and parked that round the corner out of the way. The surveyor is early and is parked up in the street just after one o'clock and he sees Darren walking back to the house. The surveyor waits a few minutes and then he goes and knocks on the door and he describes Darren as being really cool. There was nothing to indicate that he had just committed a crime and has a perfectly normal conversation with him for the next 40 minutes. I wonder if Darren could potentially use a surveyor as an alibi to say, well, I couldn't have done anything. I was with the alibi. I've got the alibi. I was with the borderline psychopathic surveyor in my house and he saw there was nothing untoward. Exactly. Another thing makes me think, I wonder if that's why he put the body in the car and drove it out of the house because he knew someone was coming to the house and potentially would have to look round the house because there's a surveyor and would have maybe found the body. Yes, I think you're quite right about that. He would definitely have had to move the body out of the house knowing that somebody was coming and moving the car round the corner just gets it out of eye's view, doesn't it? Was there anything else that he did to try and cover his tracks to give himself another alibi? Yes, so he then starts sending text messages to her just checking, is she all right? Where is she? He's now thinking the police will look at my phone. He works in intelligence, remember? He'll know about all this stuff and so he's starting to set up his story and support his alibi going forward. I didn't see so many M-documentaries. He's just like no different from any other person. I just watched, what do we just watch?  Remember that one? We watched that last week and this is the same thing that dude did. Leon in the day. I said porn, you two, C-O-R-N. With the final message to his wife. Same exact thing as the thing. He then goes to the school in the afternoon where he picks up his children and speaks to other parents at the school gates. Chatting away is again giving him another alibi to go, well, he was in a lovely movie, he could not have done anything. Exactly. How can you be so calm and collected? He just murdered your wife. He certainly appeared to be really detached and very calm having done such a terrible thing. You think that having killed his wife he has then gone into almost like a policing mode where police are really good in a crisis and can be very, very calm. He's definitely used his job to think about what he's going to do to cover his tracks and get him out of trouble. So his job really has... That's the craziest part of it. He was thinking about all the past crimes he's come across, all the past murder cases he's come across and thinking in his mind like, okay, that guy did good when he was trying to do... Okay, he did good at this part, but he messed up here. So let me take all the good stuff out and came across and try to do it and not mess up. That's weird. Giving him an advantage on... I know how I can try and get away with it. Darren Mackay's calmness and the ability to go about the rest of his day acting normally has really shocked me. I want to talk to psychologist Serena Simmons again to see if she can explain how Mackay could appear so relaxed. For real, can you talk pinpointed? Let me know what psychologists talk he got. Is he... You know what I'm saying? I know what I'm trying to say. I really get my head round with this. Even though murdering his wife is horrendous, it's how he reacted afterwards. It wasn't as... If it was an accident, if you know what I mean, he reacted like very calm and he was calculated, wasn't he? What's interesting is he slips into a particular mode of functioning as soon as he's done it. Arguably, there'd be some people who called the police. Exactly, that's my point. Then, again, that controlling nature came into play.  I can sort the money out, get rid of this, get rid of the evidence. And obviously, with his knowledge of how police investigations work, again, tapping into that emotional intelligence, I know how I should behave in this particular situation. He was able to switch that on and off. So, in your opinion, Darren Mackay had an ability to... I would never date a cop in the first place, but this is gonna solidify it for me. Just switch his brain into another mode to go, this has happened, deal with it, and that's what you... You make my cop go over and manage to take me out and don't even get caught, that'd be tragic. And not only does he deal with it, he tries to cover his tracks. He kind of went into overdrive, which is a very much a self-defense, kind of vital flight response. He decided to fight, but it kind of went into this hyper drive of behaviour. This is about ego and self-preservation. He wasn't able to even contemplate losing what he had. And for someone like him, why should he? I get what I want. Now that Mackay had killed Leanne and set up his alibi, he needed to figure out what he would do with his wife's body. An alibi alone wouldn't be enough. He needed to distance himself even further from Leanne's death, and to do that, he needed to ensure her body would remain undiscovered for as long as possible. You just want to get her remains as far away from the home where the attack took place to give the impression that she was probably attacked by a stranger. When there's nothing holding you back, try to see how they caught, bro. Like, what started making them feel, you know what I'm saying? Getting that feeling like nah. But the first suspect in the M is always the spouse anyway. Right? The lover. Darren Mackay and his wife Leanne seemed to have it all. A happy marriage and an affluent lifestyle. In reality, however, their perfect life was a sham, covering up a mountain of debt and spending that was spiraling out of control. On the morning of her death, Leanne discovered that her police inspector husband had forged a loan application in her name. It was the final straw. After she confronted him, Darren Mackay snapped and killed Leanne by strangling her to death. Mackay's behavior doesn't make any sense to me. When he describes it as strangling her to... That's underplaying it. He broke two bones in her neck. That's a little bit more. That's a little bit more. Let's not underplay it. In their money worries, Leanne and Darren seemed to have a happy relationship. And I can't figure out how he's been... You better all say, broke her neck and strangling her. ...driven so suddenly to murder. Clinical psychologist Roberta Bap, who specializes in forensic psychology, is going to help me get some insight into what could have pushed Darren to commit such a horrendous crime. In most instances when a partner is murdered, there is some prior history of domestic violence. What's interesting about the case of Darren Mackay was there's no reports of previous domestic violence, and so the incident when he murdered his wife felt very uncharacteristic of their relationship and very much out of the blue. It may lead us to think about whether Darren Mackay meant to kill his wife in that moment or whether he was acting out something that he couldn't verbally articulate. Roberta thinks that rather than premeditated murder, Mackay's explosion of violence could have been him snapping under the pressures of the couple's financial problems. I think it was him snapping, for sure. I don't think he went in there like, yeah, I'm gonna do this. I think he went in there and the argument got too much for him to handle, and he couldn't convey his point. He couldn't verbalize his point. He was like, you know what? Boom. Problems. The stress and distress of being in debt can have a huge impact on someone's mental health, and all of these emotions come together in a really unhelpful way. The stress is gonna leak out in other places, becomes an overwhelming and all-encompassing experience. Money is intrinsically tied to our survival, and that can be threatened in cases of debt. Although Mackay was in a cold fury, the manner he chose to express his violence is also revealing.  When a person is strangled, the person who's strangling has a real sense of power and control. That person's life is in their hands.  It has real psychological connotations, because it tells you a lot about the offender state of mind and their relationship to the victim at that time. With years in the force, Mackay knew that police will begin to connect the dots, and he would become the prime suspect in Leanne's murder. See? He knew he had to dispose of the police's biggest potential clue, his wife's body. Local journalist Mike McCarthy... Yeah, because nobody, no case, right? ...is meeting me not far from the couple's home to talk me through Mackay's movements in the hours following the murder, and after Darren had calmly shown the surveyor around their house, with Leanne already dead. So after Darren Mackay had committed the murder, what did he do next? He didn't show any signs of anything. I think the moment he realised that Leanne was dead, everything just about that he did from that point on was from the point of view of a police officer. He'd killed his wife, then carried on pretty much as normal. To all intents and purposes, this was the everyday Darren Mackay that everybody knew. He then went out in Leanne's car At 10.30pm, Darren left the family home, collected Leanne's red mini, and headed to Paddock Hill Farm, not far from the couple's home in Willslow. Police believed that when he arrived, he realised the water wasn't deep enough for him to leave Leanne's body there. He'd seen a sign in the past, it's believed that it's suggested that there was deep water in a pond. When he got there, there was no water.  He left Leanne's phone at Paddock Hill Farm to throw detectives off the scent, before heading back towards another possible site to dump his wife's body, but nearby the lake. He no doubt thought as a police inspector that he'd committed the perfect crime and covered up his tracks as well as anybody that could have done. But just hours later, as he headed home from dumping Leanne's body, cracks started to appear in Darren's master plan. At 1.30 in the morning, he was seen by a police patrol on a road near his home, and they stopped to talk to him. Nothing too suspicious as far as the police were concerned, kind of thing that they're dealing with every day of the week. He's walking home, what's the problem sort of thing. He told officers he was fine and almost home. Mackay refused to give police his name or any other information about himself. As he was not breaking the law, they let him go. He must have thought that when the police sent him on his way, that was it, you know, job achieved. That's California. Wouldn't be that simple later on. In the early hours of the morning around 2am, police spotted Darren again, still out walking, but this time with a significant difference. An hour later, they came across him again. This time it was different. They noticed that he wasn't wearing any shoes. Of course, I mean, the fact is they've stopped him once and he didn't give him his name. Second time now, he's not got shoes on. So this is obviously raising suspicion that what's going on with this guy is something wrong here.  So the police insisted on taking him home. They at that stage must have thought there's something more that we need to investigate. Clearly. I want to hear from Detective Howard Groves to find out how police are... Anybody else, I feel like they would have stopped, searched, investigated, did this, doing that, this, this and the third. But it don't seem like they went that, you know, above and beyond extra like with him. They just seen him one time, let him go. He wasn't breaking the lobby. Then they seen him twice, no shoes, and they took him home. That ain't enough. Compared to which I'll be doing to other people, that is not enough. Officers would have acted after they saw Mackay out the Howard Groves to find out how police officers would have acted after they saw Mackay out that night acting strangely on his walk home. You think from the moment the officers would have seen not only him walking, but the next time they see him walking with no shoes on, there'd have been a suspicion there, wouldn't there? This is strange behaviour. I think from the moment those officers picked him up on the first occasion and then said, OK, let him carry on in his merry way. On the second occasion when they see him wearing shoes, they obviously asked him questions and he gave, to all intents and purposes, a reasonably plausible excuse. I'm not wearing my shoes because they're a bit too tight. I've had a bit to drink. I can't drink and drive, which the opposite have gone. Yeah, that's true, but I'm trying to find my wife, so I'm just walking to see if I can find her. Even though he would have given that as an excuse, they would have still been thinking it doesn't all quite sound quite true. And because they realized that he was wearing the police-issued trousers, that gave it away. So he didn't have any other option at that point to say, yes, I'm a police officer. See what I'm saying? I knew it was a reason they didn't go above and beyond. They seen the police-issued trousers and it was like, oh, OK, whatever. A guy was forced to explain that he was out looking for his wife who was missing and hadn't been responding to his texts. That's when they would have thought, OK, he's probably had a bit to drink. We don't know what's happening domestically. We'll get him home. Officers decided to take Darren home and he shows no emotion whatsoever. And the officers are thinking, oh, what's happening? Well, he was cold as ice and he wasn't showing any empathy. So they might have looked to him like, oh, everything's fine, but they're probably thinking, why don't we go outside? When police officers came to visit Darren Mackay, he was described as being cold and detached and this could be for different reasons. One reason could be the fact that he didn't feel he had to put in a performance anymore because the act of killing his wife had been completed. Another reason may have been the fact that he was preoccupied with the practicalities of now trying to ensure that he got away with the crime. But that's not the only reason Darren may have seen detached. He was well known... That they called him because he got to... Like, this is like... In other documentaries we watch, when people do like this and move like this, they say that he could possibly kill again. And like, he got too much power.  He knows all of these people who can't really defend themselves or at-risk people, so now they need to lock him up. He was well known by his work colleagues for being able to hide his emotions. Darren Mackay's nickname within the police force was Mr. Spot and this could communicate a number of things. He may have been seen as someone who's devoid of emotions or someone who lacked empathy, both of which are concerning if you're thinking about a member of the police force. Right! After around 14 hours, Wood Mackay, famed for his inability to show emotion, be able to play the role of a concerned husband convincingly enough to deceive his colleagues. And second of all, when the cops seen the police issue pants and he was forced to be like, okay, my wife's been missing for an extra amount of time, why wasn't there an investigation launched in her missingness and her disappearance? What's going on? Are you single and tired of canceled plans? I'm actually am single, but I'm not tired of canceled plans because I'm the one cancelling plans out here. He got me good motion. Anyway. Yes, that was it. Yes, that was it. Okay. The police, they've gone to him and said, we need to know where her phone is. So he can't get away with not looking because they're standing there over him. That comes up as being a place called Paddock Hill Lane, which they take the screenshots of the location. Oh, okay, he has his location on with his wife. Which is, you should. And they send it through to the control room. Is that where he's throwing the phone? Yeah, yeah. They send the police to go out there and have a look for the exact location and they discover the phone and next to it is a sign that says beware deep water, but it hasn't actually gone in any water at all. So now the police have recovered her phone and it's not damaged and they can get that back and get the data off. And the phone was on still? Find that location. Don't work when your phone is off. So he left the phone on. He was a major lead in solving the case. But where was Leanne? That question will be answered just a few hours later. At 3.45 a.m. on Friday the 29th of September, around 15 hours after her death, Leanne's body was discovered in Pointon Lake by a member of the public who was walking home. I'm visiting the park with local journalist Mike McCarthy to find out more about that night. Now that Leanne's body had been discovered, a theory was emerging about what had happened to her and who was responsible. He went out in Leanne's car bringing the body here. He parked that car 140 metres away from where we are at the moment and it's thought that Darren Mackay dragged the body the full length of that 140 metres dumping Leanne right here on the edge of the lake. It's not being here. It's because I spent so much time here as a kid fishing there. All just over there I was fishing and innocent and there's been a body dumped just here. That's a lake? Is that a man-made lake or is it a naturally occurring lake? See this one, either way like I'm good.  No way. See this why I stay away from bodies of water anyway. If I want to give them some water I run a bath. Simple as that in my mind. An innocent woman being killed. Strange being in and around the environment. It's a beautiful place and it's got great memories for me. Obviously. Not for Leanne's family. Just to get to this position and it's a walk you know but imagine not only you walking dragging a body but not only a body, that's your wife. Who knows what was going through his mind at that point given the other things that he did. Giving his behaviour, the rest of that dent to have been so careless if you like. Was he a cancer or a Leo? Dumped the body in that kind of way but he knew that later he would say that she must have been killed by somebody else and that in a way it was a bit of a decoy but certainly from someone who knew how the law worked knew how policing worked knew what kind of clues the police would be looking for. Despite his police knowledge and his attempts to stage a fake crime scene once Leanne's body was found and identified Mackay was immediately arrested. When police arrived at his house they had noticed his washing machine still running in the middle of the night as Mackay desperately tried to rid his clothes of trace evidence. Forensic investigator Jim Fraser says this is quite common. That's another mistake, huh? You a cop, burn it. Wash it, burn it. It's allegedly in the movies. In cases such as this. As a police officer Darren would be aware that many homicide investigations are solved quite quickly by immediately finding what can be quite obvious evidence. It's not uncommon for people who have been involved in crime that involves blood being shed to try and wash it out of their clothing. Placing clothing with body fluids on it in a washing machine doesn't necessarily completely destroy the evidence. So stopping the machine as quickly as possible would minimize the possibility that evidence was going to be lost. With vital forensic evidence recovered from the family home and Mackay himself now in custody. Ooh, they had a nice car. There's that Audi wagon. Nice. Police weren't looking for any other suspects. It was just 17 hours since Leanne had been murdered. When there's nothing holding you back. What was that, a printer? So after he's been arrested they obviously have to interview him. What did he say? When a suspect is interviewed for murder like this they tend to do it in stages. So the first interview is always tell us what you know. And then he has an opportunity to say the truth at that stage if that's what he wants to say. And inevitably in this case he doesn't. He says I don't know anything. So he starts off with his interview by denying all knowledge of her death and how it's happened. So then they disclose a bit more of the evidence to him about what they know and he continues to say I don't know anything. It's not me. I don't know how she died. I'm not responsible. But Darren did eventually change his story. He actually says yes. Leanne drove her mini and I was with her and we went somewhere. But she didn't want to get involved in the whole financial thing that I'm... Yeah see.  You gotta go one story the whole time rather it's a good story or a bad story because once you start switching the story what is that doing? It's a hidden doubt. Automatically they know you're lying. Sorting out.  So yes it gives some credence to what he was trying to create was an alibi that we're driven away because obviously he may have thought maybe there may be CCTV showing the car driving away. Darren claimed he never saw Leanne again after she drove off. And so with him maintaining his innocence it was down to the officers to put together the missing pieces of this case. And a major breakthrough would come when the data on Leanne's phone was recovered. Police could see on the day of the murder Leanne and Darren's phones had been travelling together. Most damningly they found that the phones had been together at 2.40pm that day after Darren had already messaged Leanne asking where she was. Not only that but the phones were together at the very location Paddock Hill Farm where Leanne's phone was later discovered. So he's travelling with her. That's another thing man always leave your phone at its place of origin allegedly in the movie because that's what they do you gotta leave your phone because them phones is all a digital footprint. And her phone is in the car so you can see that so he's messaging the same where are you I don't know where you are but the phones are close by together. Exactly, they're together and not only are they together or near the house they're then together at this other location and you can see that the way they go the way they travel together and then they come back. The other mistake he made was he should have destroyed the phone he really is a bad criminal I mean he's banged to rights now what would he be trying to say what has happened to her what was he trying to make it look like? That they've got these money worries couldn't he to say that she was upset and then he would be trying to suggest that somebody else had killed her it had been a stranger attack So while she was out walking she's gone for a walk around the lake at night as you do and been attacked by a stranger and been killed that's what he was trying to get away with But Mackay's story that his wife had driven off in a fury only to be murdered later by a stranger didn't add up and crucially he was unable to explain why his and his wife's phone were in close proximity when he was texting to ask where she was despite Mackay's best efforts to commit the perfect murder his plan was falling apart piece by piece It wasn't that great of a plan in the first place Found for a few days or even weeks the forensic evidence then would diminish wouldn't it and he probably would have been in quite a good place to be honest When police found his missing shoes from that night dumped in a nearby bin Mackay must have known the game was up The cover of the trainers it would have been obvious to them that there was blood and bloody fluids on them the first thing they would want to do is establish who's blood that was the process of doing that is they would be sent to a forensic science lab When the results of the tests came back they pointed to only one conclusion The trainers were almost overwhelmingly damning Firstly they have body fluids on them that match his dead wife Secondly there is DNA inside them that establishes that he was wearing them and by inference that he owned them and thirdly there is this very odd set of circumstances where he was seen by two police officers wearing the trainers later seen by the same two police officers not wearing the trainers and gave them an explanation that simply wasn't credible why he wasn't wearing them Forensic officers could now confidently tie Darren Mackay to Leigh-Anne's death It's quite clear that his experience of police officer was a significant factor in this case If he'd managed to put the body somewhere where it couldn't be found or could not be found for many weeks he would do two things he wouldn't come under immediate suspicion and the longer the body is missing particularly if it's in water the more chance that they wouldn't be able to identify the cause of death It makes it difficult to build a case against somebody but of course he encountered two police officers in the process of this on two occasions and they were plainly suspicious about his explanations Mackay's trial started at Chester Crown Court on the 5th of March 2018 he initially pled not guilty sticking to the claim that a stranger must have murdered Leigh-Anne put just nine days into the hearing with the evidence stacking up against him he realised he had no choice but to change his story Once he realised the evidence given by the prosecution was building up and it was all working against him he then tried to say, look I want to plead to a letter of offence No can do, it ain't happening and once he was then convicted the jury made the decision What's the conviction? The jury found Darren Mackay guilty of the murder of his wife Leigh-Anne by a majority of 11 to 1 11 to 1? Who was the one? The judge then said, ok you were a police officer you had sufficient knowledge and experience of being an officer, so no I'm going to make sure instead of you getting 15 years which is what I was going to give you I'm going to give you some more on top of that because you did everything to evade being caught so you're going to get another four years on top so you got 19 years He was going to give him 15 years but because he was a cop he gave him 19 well that's one of the lowest numbers I've heard in any of these documentaries With Darren Mackay receiving 19 years in prison there would be at least some justice for Leigh-Anne's friends and family at least he in there probably all the other inmates he probably getting you know you know what I'm saying 19 years that's no justice for her family This tragic pair had tried so hard to keep up appearances and had lost everything due to a police officer who turned out to be a cold-blooded killer This was all about self-preservation many people don't think they're capable of doing something that they end up doing but that fight or flight really kicked in I think if this case had happened anywhere else it would have been shocking but to be where he lived to live the life that his family lived to be respected police officers to have no idea whatsoever you know not even an inkling that he'd got any bad marks in his record it hit the community hard Members of the police must have been feeling let down betrayed, horrified and surprised and angry that a colleague could act in such a brutally violent way I think this would have been really difficult to work on nobody likes the idea of a police officer killing anyone do they? It's despicable we're there to protect people and then the fact that his wife is a serving officer as well can you imagine how hard that would have been two people that you probably knew one has killed the other and you have to work out what's happened and almost detach yourself from that emotional sadness you'd think he was despicable killing one of your own just as despicable as he got 19 years alright till I leave a like, comment, subscribe let me know what you think in the comments


As we've been talking about, the blockchain is like another layer to the internet that enables secure, trusted records and transactions between people who may not otherwise trust each other. The trust is in the technology, computer code and mathematics, rather than people and centralized institutions. In this respect, people sometimes talk about the blockchain as a trust machine, in its capacity to enable a network where trust is created by design, it's built into the system automatically. Because the blockchain creates a trusted database, it can function as a record of value storage in exchange. These records of value and transactions may be called ledges. Since ancient times, ledges have formed the backbone to our economies, to record contracts and payments for the buying and selling of goods or the exchange of assets like property. These ledges started out as records in stone, clay tablets in Papyrus and later paper as they evolved into the ledger books supporting modern accounting. These ledges enabled the formation of currencies, trade, lending and the evolution of banking. Over the last couple of decades though, these records have moved into the digital realm as whole rooms of people working to maintain accounts have been replaced by digital computers, which have made possible the complex global economic system we live in. Today, this record-keeping system is once again being revolutionized as these ledgers are shifting to a global network of computers which is cryptographically secured, fast and decentralized. Next, what we call distributed ledger or distributed ledger technology, DLT for short. A distributed ledger can be described as a ledger of any transactions or records supported by a decentralized network from across different locations and people, eliminating the need of a centralized authority. All the information on the ledger is securely and accurately stored using cryptography and can be accessed using keys and cryptographic signatures. Any changes or additions made to the ledger are reflected and copied to all participants in a matter of seconds or minutes. The participants at each node of the network can access the recordings shared across the network and can own an identical copy of it. At the same time, these networks may constantly available for examination a full audit trail of information history, which can be traced back to the moment when a piece of information was created and every participant in the network can get simultaneous access to a common view of the information. These ledgers can be used for the recording, tracking, monitoring and transacting of all forms of assets. All asset registries, inventories and exchanges, including every area of economics, finance and currencies, physical assets such as cars and houses, and intangible assets such as votes, ideas, health data, reputation etc. In this case, the blockchain can serve as a public record repository for whole societies including the registration of all documents, events, identity and assets. In this system, all property could become smart property. This is the notion of encoding every asset to the blockchain with a unique identifier such that the asset can be tracked, controlled and exchanged on the blockchain. For example, distributed ledgers can be used to replace or supplement all existing intellectual property management systems as they can register the exact content of any digital asset such as a file, image, health record or code to the ledger and give it a unique identifier in the form of the hash values that we discussed earlier. There are two main classes of distributed ledger, public ledgers and permissioned ledgers. The former type is maintained by public nodes and is accessible to anyone. Bitcoin is a well-known example of a public blockchain where anyone can read the chain, anyone can make legitimate changes and anyone can write a new block into the chain. Ripple is an example of a permissioned blockchain where the creators of the network determine who may act as transaction validators on that network. Distributed ledger platforms in each category have their own unique features. Some are designed for specific types of application and others for more general use. For instance, in the quarter DLT platform, which is a consortium of more than 70 of the world's largest financial institutions, the sharing of individual ledger data is limited to parties with a legitimate need to know, which is not the case for public platforms. DLT technology can have a powerful disintermediation effect as data can be put directly onto the shared database by the nodes in the network. There is no longer need for a centralized organization to provide this service. A developer can create a DLT on a blockchain and use public-private key cryptography to give people secure storage space on that ledger, allowing people to own their own data, which creates a very different scenario to the world we live in today. Currently, centralized organizations like Google and Facebook suck up all of the little bits of data we need behind us and use it to serve us customized advertisements from which they create their revenue. This results in a huge power imbalance within society where centralized organizations, armed with teams of mathematicians and computer scientists, use mountains of data to influence people's behavior towards purchasing the products of their advertisers. Data that is a very valuable asset in an information society and of critical importance to tackling major societal challenges is being used against us in many ways, creating a stumbling block that societies are becoming increasingly aware of. In a world of distributed ledgers, people have their own little databases on the blockchain and can own their own data, giving it to organizations to use when and where needed, fundamentally reversing the current dynamic and truly empowering individuals. Your health records reside in your health ledger and different healthcare providers can access and update that single record but only with the permission of the end user as the data remains theirs and they choose who can have access to it. Likewise, when people own their own data on a distributed ledger, they can transact directly here to here, as is the case with Bitcoin. With the existing traditional system, when you pay for a ride in a taxi with a credit card, it looks like you're paying the driver directly, when in fact, what is happening is that a database record belonging to my bank is being debited and a database belonging to the bank of the company that the driver works for is being credited. In this respect, we can note that in our society, value and data do not really belong to individuals. All the time, they're being held behind the walls of some centralized organization and we are dependent upon them to secure and validate it, creating huge power imbalances within society. In contrast, with the Bitcoin blockchain, the individual has a ledger record and a secure key with which they can access their record. When they send money, they send it directly to the other person's record, it simply gets debited from your record and added to theirs directly here to here. No centralized organization holds that data. Distributed ledger technology can greatly improve transparency, reduce corruption and improve security while reducing overhead costs of auditing, accounting and legal issues. Currently, records of value are hidden within the databases of centralized organizations where they are largely inaccessible for their many possible uses within other systems. They are open to manipulation by members within those organizations, which breeds corruption and because of that, there has to be all sorts of regulation and legal requirements that create many overhead costs. Added to this, they are centralized points of failure for critical data sources as large concentrations of valued data prove very attractive for malicious actors. Likewise, it is inefficient to be constantly updating and synchronizing data across many centralized databases. By putting the information on a shared ledger, it can be easily made accessible and visible on demand as needed. Because it is tamper proof, we can remove many existing points of corruption and the associated need for regulation. Likewise, it is made secure by distributed networks without a single point of failure and continuously synchronized across all nodes to create a single source of truth for all users.

The Wellness Center recently launched the 2018 Lunch Walk Challenge. It's a national challenge to increase physical activity throughout the nation. This is our seventh edition of the program. We are now in our third week of the program itself, and it's always been successful throughout the years. We have about 300 participants, about nine states involved. The program is a 10-week program that lasts until April 16th. However, organizers say it's not too late to sign up. The challenge encourages participants to set small goals and achieve them weekly or daily.  Everybody starts tracking with your Fitbits, your GPS, pedometers itself. The Lunch Walk Challenge started as what the name entails, a Lunch Walk Challenge. Now, it's progressed to more than that. The way the original program was, of course, it's called the Lunch Walk Challenge. Yes, they wanted to get people moving out around lunch, but now where we have progressed with the program through these years, we ask people to walk throughout the whole day itself. So, you know, when you get up in the morning and in the day, that's when you start, you know, tracking and then logging your stuff. For more information or to sign up for the program, visit the web address listed on your screen. In Williamson, Shelby Porter, EKB News. Thank you.

Hey Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video. As a quick disclaimer, we wanted to remind our viewers that the depression signs discussed in this video should not be used to diagnose anyone with depression. If you or someone you know is struggling with depression, please reach out to a mental health professional who can help. With that said, let's begin. Have you ever had days where all you wanted to do was lie in bed and do absolutely nothing else?  We've all had our off days. We've all felt lazy, unmotivated, and uninspired from time to time. And it's normal to feel like that. But we live in such a hyper-competitive society that's so hyper-focused on pursuing success and wealth that it's made us feel internally guilty for the time we spend not working towards something productive. When you overwork yourself to exhaustion and are dealing with chronic stress, it will inevitably have adverse effects on your mental and emotional health. But what if it could be more than that? What if your laziness is more than just you feeling burnt out? Here are six warning signs of depression that are more than just laziness. Number one, you can't snap yourself out of it. A sense of laziness usually creeps in when you're overly stressed or if you've been working too hard for too long. And there are a lot of nifty tips and tricks you can use to snap yourself out of it, like making a to-do list, listening to motivational talks, or setting achievable goals. But when it's depression, depression isn't a choice and it's definitely not something you can just shake off or get over, no matter what other people tell you. Depression is a serious mental illness that needs to be treated with professional help and medication if required. Oftentimes, depressive episodes can recur throughout your life, so months of therapy may be needed to help you cope. Number two, you can't cheer yourself up. Do you often struggle with feelings of unexplained loneliness, sadness, and hopelessness? Do you feel exhausted all the time and rarely have any energy? You might be feeling downcast and disheartened for reasons you just don't understand. And nothing you do seems to cheer you up or make you feel better. No amount of sleep, comfort food, self-care activities, or fun times with friends seem to do much to brighten your spirits. When you're battling depression, not even doing the things you used to love the most or spending time with your loved ones can make you feel better. Number three, you've lost interest in everything. According to the American Psychological Association, a markedly diminished interest of pleasure in activities is one of the hallmarks of a depressive episode. So if you've found that your laziness has made you lose motivation and interest in everything, including school and work, then that's a sure sign that something is seriously wrong with your mental health. With depression, you tend to lose interest in your hobbies and emotionally withdraw from those around you.  Number four, you can't function like you used to. Do you feel that your laziness is getting out of hand? Has it become too much for you to manage? Is it getting in the way of your work, your school, or your personal life? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you may be dealing with depression. In diagnosing depression, psychologists tend to look at the four Ds of abnormality. They are deviance, distress, danger, and dysfunction.  Number five, your laziness isn't triggered by anything. Oftentimes, laziness manifests as procrastination and may be brought on by a number of different reasons. Some believe a sense of laziness reflects a lack of self-esteem, while others would argue it's because of a lack of positive recognition from others. It could also be due to a lack of discipline, self-control, and interest. But what about depression? What brings about depression? Well, the truth is, psychologists don't really know. But one thing we do know for sure is that it isn't usually triggered by just one particular thing. There isn't always a clear reason for why depression might develop. So if you find yourself feeling down, disheartened, and unanergetic all of a sudden, depression may be the reason why. And number six, your laziness isn't a choice. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, the key difference between depression and laziness is that while laziness can be changed, depression isn't so easily altered. If you're feeling tired or unmotivated, you can do something to change that for yourself. You can rest, brainstorm, look for inspiration, and try out different productivity hacks to help you get out of your funk. But with depression, it's not that easy.  When you have depression, you're not making the choice to be depressed or stay depressed. In fact, patients with depression often report feelings of extreme guilt, shame, and helplessness due to their depression. No one with depression is ever just doing it for attention. All illness goes so much deeper than that. Can you relate to any of the signs of depression in this video? If you or anyone you know is experiencing serious feelings of depression, don't hesitate to reach out to a mental health care professional and get help.

So there are many reasons why Captions would be a good idea for many different people. It really doesn't matter what your situation is sometimes captions just can be downright useful and for other people they're actually very necessary and the problem with that is that captions and Transcripts are really hard to do now There are services out there that will take a YouTube video and Transcribe it and make you captions and stuff like that and YouTube has its auto caption service that you that usually shows up on videos Eventually, but the problem is that they're either mediocre or really really expensive and You know, it's kind of a hit or miss kind of thing, right? So when I heard that there was a live captioning Application for Linux. I was pretty excited because this is kind of cool now as I read up about live captions, which you can download from flat hub I Became a little bit less enthused because it says right on their github page that it's not perfect, right? And I can understand that live captioning is hard Now if you own an Android phone specifically if you own a pixel phone You'll know that Google does the best live captions of anything because it does has all this Gigantic pool of data and they use that for all of their stuff and evil obviously So Google tends to do the best live captioning, but live captions for Linux is free and open source And despite not being perfect as we'll see here in a minute. It does a pretty damn good job So let's take a look at live captions for Linux now first installation was very simple all you have to do is is install it via flat hub through flat pack and It was just a one line Installation it worked really well upon first launch It will benchmark your system because it does look for minimum requirements from your CPU It runs on fairly old hardware like first generation Ryzen and the steam deck will run it and stuff like that So as long as you have fairly modern hardware, it should run just fine But it will do a preliminary check to find out if it will work So let me load up a video and then load up live captions and we'll see what this looks like So here we have one of my videos.  That's going to type out everything you're saying into the microphone And it just picks up system audio Either input or output. So eventually when I play this video, I'm going to have to be quiet now comma Yeah, see doesn't actually work. I thought maybe okay Maybe it'll actually type a comment in there, but it actually doesn't so as you can see Grammar is not its first priority. So there are no periods. There are no commas I wonder what it would do if I'd said something possessive. So That is Katie's bike. It does possessive just fine. Okay, so let me show you what it does on output So this is I was really taking audio from my microphone What does it do when you're listening to a video, which is probably where you'd actually see it in action? When your computer started up, you'd hear a sound when you did something wrong on your computer It'd make a sound at you when you shut down. It would make a sound you get the idea There were actual computer sounds that happened when you did stuff on your operating system Now, maybe this is just me being an old guy, which is you know true But in the past you'd hear all these sounds and added character to your user experience I know everybody's thinking Matt. This is not an important topic and it's not you're right Okay, so as you can see It doesn't do a very good job of switching sources So It's not actually picking my microphone I'm now because it's listening for output and it doesn't do a good job of switching automatically from what I can tell I'd have to hit this button here and it switches to a different Input or output so it also isn't perfect, obviously as I said before It really does not do a very good job with names. So if I said my name Matt Yeah, that's not how you spell Matt, bro. That's not even close. That's I don't you don't walk on me That's Matt with two T's yet. I got the T's part right. Anyways, I did it They got the T's part right once and not the second or third time Interestingly, it does filter out filler words. So if I said um, I well filtered it out one time it didn't filter out another time um and It did at that time so it like it listens for natural flow if it thinks it's a filler word Or if you're actually meaning to say the word um, it will put it in there But if you just say um, I don't know. Oh, I did pick it up that time So it's a little bit inconsistent, right? But the idea here isn't that it's perfect It's that it does offer a service that can give you At least some form of live captioning as something is going on on your computer So where this could be useful is where live or regular close captioning isn't available So for example, if you're watching a live stream of something where you're on YouTube and your favorite YouTubers live streaming maybe during the Linux cast live every Saturdays at three o'clock p.m. Eastern time And you want some form of live captioning you could have this running in the background And it would give you at least some form of close captioning during a live event now. Obviously Again, it's not perfect grammar is not here. It doesn't do a very good job Good job with names So let's see if it says I'm gonna say Tyler It did Tyler fine. What about Steve? It did Steve fine. How about Matt? Still not smelling that right, bro. I Don't it's not that hard. Come on, man. All right. Anyways, I guess I'm just gonna have to change my name Because this is how it's supposed to be still anyway So you get the idea, right? There's not much to this application and it's not perfect, but it does a fairly good job Now I didn't notice that it tends to Not like the word KDE Yeah, that's what it was doing when I first tested this it said instead of like let's just say I MHO Yeah, so in my honest opinion would be a an abbreviation or ASAP It did ASAP just fine because that's more broadly known. What about etc. It's gonna actually yeah It actually abbreviated, etc. It didn't spell it out. I wonder if you wanted it to spell out, etc No, no, it's just going to use the abbreviation. I didn't consistencies would drive me kind of nuts here but things like KDE which you spell out it sometimes spell cat with K sometimes it spells Katie Which is not what I'm saying KDE II It's really weird It's not probably meant for people talking into a microphone and watching it saying what that's not what I actually said bro I don't know why I'm calling it bro so much, but I'm just assuming Anyways live captions as actually pretty cool. I've been messing around with it now for an hour and I've had fun just watching my voice show up in text even though About 10% of the time it doesn't get it exactly, right? What I would like to see them work on is obviously Get better at recognizing what is being said but really They're 90 to 95% of the way there. It's really really good I just wish they did better on grammar if they could do Grammar to the point where when it knows I'm at at the end of a sentence It would put a period period Period, but it just spells it out right Or you know if it knew that the sentence needed a comma or a semicolon or whatever if it got better at grammar this thing would be phenomenal and I think it's already kind of Phenomenal in and of itself as it is right now, but I really do wish it was just a little bit more So I hope that they continue to develop this and it does get better now before we jump out of here Let me show you let me close this so they can actually get better or bigger Let me show you what the settings look like. So this is the settings panel now There aren't that much settings, but it does have a couple ones. So obviously if you want to change the font There's a whole section here for changing the font very standard And I'm glad that it's here. You can also change the window transparency and the width it does the width part doesn't really Work all that well in a tiny window manager. I could make this floating So the if you have it floating it looks like this and then the width variable would actually work Instead of just being you know a window and if you were on a tiling window manager You could make a rule so that this is always floating if you want but the coolest one here is that It will allow you to see the history. So if you view the history It will show you everything that has been said with time stamps in this window here So it will go all the way back to wherever we You know started at the beginning all the way back now It's obviously not perfect because it gets all the errors as it says It's just putting all of the stuff that's in the history right there in the history file I just coughed and it did not pick up the coughs. It didn't just say cough cough That would have been hilarious But anyways the history part is what's cool So if you wanted to use this like say during class like say you're in university or high school or something like that And you're allowed to have your your linux phone there or your linux laptop You could have this running and it would take somewhat imperfect notes for you But it would also put them in this transcript with timestamps so you could simultaneously record the audio and the text of the Professor and then look back at the timestamps and kind of align them So you'd have a closed caption of the Lecture as it was going on with timestamps.  Now. I'm probably going to get demonetized. So thank you for that Anyways, and what's cool about this is you can be in the settings turn this back on and then say shit again And it does it real time. It's Really really cool. I'm so impressed by this application And I can't get over the fact that it's just so useful for so many people if you have hearing problems or some kind of disability where you have Problems like that. This could be useful if you're a student or if you need to take notes of any kind like you're You're in business of some kind and you're in a meeting and you want to have a transcript of the meeting This could be very useful. Again. I wish it did better with Grammar and stuff like that if it did grammar This should be just I mean it would take my first impressions of this as being really freaking cool to the whole Level to a whole nother level You don't really Realize how often you misspeak when you see it come back at you in text Period um Really want that grammar. I mean seriously also capitalize eyes, man Eye the letter eye litter letter. Okay. Yeah, see that's what I'm talking about If you're watching this as you speak It can it can get your head just a little bit that is not I don't think if you're using this to transcribe like a live screen or something like that You'd see the mistakes as much as I am because I know what I just said And I know that what it's printing isn't actually what I just said in some cases, right? So yeah, that is live captions. I'll leave a link to this in the video description It is I mean seriously one of the coolest apps that I've seen on linux in a while now Like I said several times listed throughout this video It's not perfect and you've seen that you know, it makes mistakes. It's not going to be perfect, but It's 90 to 95 of the way there and it does a just a fantastic job of just keeping up, right It's so good. So if you need captions or something like that, you know For whatever reason or you're looking to transcribe notes or a lecture or whatever give live captions a try I don't think you'll be sorry that you did so that's it for this video If you have thoughts on live captions or any other Software like this you can leave those in the comment section below. I'd love to hear from you You can follow me on math to downer odyssey those links will be in the video description You can support me on patreon at patreon.com slash the linux cast Thanks to everybody who does support me on patreon youtube You guys are all absolutely amazing without you the channels will not be anywhere near where it is right now So thank you very very very very very very good more I don't know why I get stuck on the word very I get I always want to say very very much Then I just go very very very very very very it's it's done. I can't help it It's gonna be it's gonna be it's gonna be a thing. Anyways, thanks for your support Thanks everybody for watching. I'll see you next time nailed The word everybody again, that's two videos Anyways, thanks for watching. I'll see you next time


Hi, I am Ajay Kakkar and delighted to be here at the first pitch BFSI Marketing Summit. The marketing category is the most relevant category if you ask me to the future of the financial services brands in India because it is a category that is relevant for 1.4 billion Indians most definitely but yet is called as a low penetration category. So this is a great conference, a great initiative to make the opportunity and the gap come through through financial services marketers.


Now you know, John Hardball hit up Jim tonight and was like, hey, you still going on that podcast? And Jim was like, yeah, I'm going on that podcast. And John told him, hey, please, because Lamar, he driving us crazy. He's starting to mess with us again. And I don't wanna have to go through this again, Jim. I don't wanna have to go through this, man. So please, we need something to sort of try to distract the people. We know it's not gonna work too much, but let's try to distract the people just a little bit because all this Lamar stuff is bothering me, man. So he was like, you know what? I'm gonna get this Jim, drop it. Drop it on the podcast. John Ross, he's gonna make the roster. And Jim was like, okay, I'll be sure to tell him. And now we're here. So let's read the quote from Inside Michigan football radio show from Jim Hardball. Really exciting news too. My brother, John says Josh is going to make the team. I meant to tell the team that today. He's doing great. John really thought that he would make the 53. They've got a record at the Ravens like 18, 19 years of an undrafted player making the team. And it continues. He thought that Josh's special team ability, but his linebacker ability is what really is kind of a godsend for him to get a player like that to make the team at a position that you really needed it at. You ain't lying. But back to the quote. And what separated him at the beginning? What's his special teams play? You know that's a ticket. With John Hardball, you know that's a ticket. You can play some good special teams.  But anyway, back to the quote. He said, what separated him at the beginning was his special teams play that he had been in a pro punt system. It was a huge advantage for him to be in a pro punt system like he was here at Michigan. The way Jay, the special teams coordinator, Hardball had taught him. And then it was second nature when he got to the Ravens. That gave him a big jump and he just played his way into making the team. Tomorrow we'll find out, but looks great for Josh Ross. Hey, that's another thing too. You don't wanna go in a podcast and say something like this and then tomorrow come and they be like, oh, well, yeah, I don't know where you heard that from but we got some different information in our paperwork. Please take a look at that. So hopefully that ain't the case, but it's looking good. I mean, throughout the pre-season it was looking good for Ross. He was making a lot of plays. He was making a lot of tackles. And he just looked good. He looked good. Like we talked about earlier, he reminds me of C.J. Mosey. And the reason I say that is because C.J. Mosey, he didn't have this burst. He didn't have this explosiveness at the linebacker position, but he was smart. He knew he had a diagnosed plays and be at the right place at the right time. And that's what Josh Ross has been at the right place at the right time. Shooting the gap at the perfect moment to make a play in the backfield, wrap up tackling all that good stuff. So shout out to him. And I'm glad that he is expected to make the roster. So I wonder what this means for Christian Welch. Like he got to be looking on social media like, hold on, what, what's, okay. But we'll see. We'll see. Now we just gotta wait it out. Tomorrow everything becomes official. And it was always looked at as a battle between these two, between Christian Welch and John Ross. But if Ross is gonna make the roster, then most likely Welch is out. But linebacker has definitely been a need. It is definitely been a need because they are very thin at that position. I got Patrick Queen and Josh Bynes and they set out the whole pre-season. So you expect them to make the roster. Malik Harrison, he played a lot. Josh Ross obviously played a lot. Christian Welch did too. So yeah, man, we'll see how this whole thing shakes up. But it's cool.


Energy at Sanford and Slack was a phenomenal introduction to the work that is being done on campus at Sanford. It made me to see what are the areas of research and got me thinking of the kind of problems that we have and the kind of solutions that I could begin to think about. Energy at didn't present us with one view of the energy industry. It presented us with as many views as possible in this range from the political view of energy to the financial view, the economic view, the technical aspects and research that's going on. It gave me a chance to meet with other students who had the same interest and energy as I did and it gave me a lot of hope and it made me feel like my purpose in this generation is real.


Is that you? I didn't recognize you. You look different. You have to have a look. A signature. Be someone. Or else people will never remember you. You think you're so special. There are hundreds.  Do you think they're going to remember you if you don't have a look? I was never arrogant. In that way. I knew I needed a look and I got one. You. Yes, you. You don't have a look. You look very nice. You look very clean. Very, uh... Komilfo. But you don't have a look. Get one. As quickly as possible. Well, it's much easier than practicing your scales. Or maybe not. If you are a singer and you weigh 500 kilos, a look is a little more difficult. What are you smirking at? Yes, you. Without a look. I haven't seen anyone today. Now, I don't have the best eyesight but I haven't seen anyone today that has a look.  Capiche?
