st the same type of question to Mr Jefferson, because I think the earlier evidence gave the figure of a value of £4 million worth of material that was stolen. It would be useful for the committee to understand because that £750,000 cost to put right the incident in Govan clearly gives a good indication of the cost to Scottish Power to put right and carry work to bring back into power the line in the metal, in this case never stole the metal, but the damage caused. It would be useful in terms of £4 million if you could provide us with a figure of some of the estimated costs that Scottish Power had to bear to actually put right the scrap metal stolen, because the greener incident said that the value would be about £10 in terms of metal, but the cost to Scottish Power would be substantially more than £10, so just to give us an indication of some of the east costs and putting right the steps that have taken place so that we can actually then compare that to the fines that are being imposed or potentially being imposed for the criminals involved. Just to clarify, the £4 million that I mentioned is the direct cost of repairs, so that is not the value of the actual metal. Again, I quoted approximately that you could double that for revenue losses and other costs, if you like, associated with the actual events themselves and how we have had to manage them in terms of our response. In terms of the value of the actual metal, I will provide you with some information on that, but it is significantly less than £4 million in terms of the value of the metal that is being stolen. It would be useful for us to get an idea of how much the actual value of the metal was, but of great interest to us is that overall cost and the inconvenience to your customers. I think that the more that it gets out there, the more it is costing people, because it is your customers that are bearing the burden of those costs, because of those thieves. Any information that you can provide, additional information, we would be immensely grateful for, Mr Jefferson. It was just to supplement that, if there is anything available about the cost that is borne by your customers, that might not be very helpful. Mr MacDougall, you are involved in the licensing regime at this moment in time. Has Glasgow City in recent times removed licences from scrap metal dealers that you are aware of, or how many refusals have there been in recent times for scrap metal dealers and licences? Unfortunately, I do not have those figures to hand, however, I could provide those if appropriate to your clerk. It would also be extremely useful for us if we could have an indication of how many applications you have had as an authority for scrap metal dealers and licences in recent times. I think that it just gives us an idea of the scale of what local authorities have to deal with, and obviously being a larger local authority, that gives us a good indication. Alex Rowley, please. On the question, I suppose that it is enforcement, I am assuming that in terms of a licensing authority like Glasgow or any of the 32 that are out there, the majority of breaches of licensing will be picked up in the main is at the police, because I am assuming that you have no got enforcement officers that are constantly checking that. Could I pick also that same question that we see for in terms of scrap yards and whatever that are licensed? Again, do you have enforcement officers that would regularly be carrying out checks, or are we very much reliant on Police Scotland to ensure that people are sticking to what they say? Yes, my view is that Police Scotland are responsible for the bulk of enforcement, and obviously there are other proposals in the bill relating to civic licensing standard officers, which have passed that. They may also have a role in relation to metal dealers. I want to go on at length, but the bill poses information and guidance roles, so that could be potentially assistance, not just an enforcement role, but also getting in people who should have a licence bringing them into the system and all, so they are subject to scrutiny of a licence regime. Mr Walker, please. SIPA has waste management licences. There is a licensing functionality, so going through the process of applying for licences and issuing licences. Beyond that, there is an enforcement resource in SIPA. We have environment protection officers who routinely visit licenced and authorised sites to check compliance with licence conditions. We publish compliance scores, compliance assessment scores for all of our licenced and permitted premises on our website. Thank you. Are there any other questions? In terms of the differences between the licence regime in Scotland and the licence regime in England and Wales, I note that you made a comment about some opportun people coming up here, because the rules are different. What are the main differences? Mr Jefferson, you mentioned that. Do you know the main differences? In terms of what exists at the moment, the registration system is different. I do not think that the identification of what is required to the same extent as is proposed in the bill and is in place in England and Wales. Obviously, cash can be transacted, so a lot of what has been put in the bill. There is not a huge amount of difference, I do not believe, in what has been proposed in Scotland and what exists in England and Wales. However, I guess that there are one or two things that are still being debated around the England and Wales legislation, which it would be obviously important for us to make sure is included in the bill in Scotland. The main one at the moment, as I have said before, is the administration of the scheme in terms of who takes responsibility for what. I get an absolute clarity as far as that is concerned, and I am very much, as I have said before, supporting that we have some sort of national accreditation system, because I think that it also provides an incentive to the scrap dealers as well. If they are on it, companies like Scottish Power are much more likely to use them for managing scrap, so there is an incentive for them to be accredited at a national level. Unless you have got some incentives in the system, then people are not necessarily going to comply. Mr Walker, have you got anything yet? I have nothing to add on that. No. Mr MacDougall? As Mr Jefferson remarked, the main difference in England and Wales is that they have a cashless payment system in operation already, and I also believe that they do not have an exemption warrant system as well. I think that the introduction of those two things in Scotland will be fundamental in preventing regime shopping, essentially people coming from England and Wales to dispose of scrap metal in Scotland. Thank you very much for your evidence today. Some of the information that you have provided will be helpful in terms of when we hear from Police Scotland on 28 January in this particular issue. Can I suspend the meeting and move into private session, please?


Go ahead and check out this week's project. Alright, this week's project, if you head on over to the Adafruit Learning System, you'll see that the guide is there. This week we have a project, it's a prop maker featherwing based project. This is a prop from the Disney Plus series Loki and it is, it's called the Time Stick. If you actually look at the Wikipedia and the Marvel comics, it's called the Time Stick and it is a prop that, that does things when you poke people with it. It's very fun. So we have a really nice assembly tutorial with some code and all the parts lists are there so you can check that out. Yeah, there we go, Peter's posting all the links. So all the catcalls and stuff are up there and uploaded, ready to download. There's a circuit diagram. We'll walk through the learn guide real quick and kind of show you what's going on. Here is the prop. It's a Time Stick. So the main thing about this is that it has the prop maker featherwing and the prop maker M4. It's got motion, with the prop maker you get an accelerometer so you can do some fun things like motion activated sound effects. It's using random choice so the sound effects will be randomized every time you move it. There's two different thresholds. There's a swing and a hit so when you do a light swing it does these sound effects and then when you give it a nice hit it lights up at full brightness and it has different sound effects. The speaker is hidden inside this little area here. This is what I'm calling the collar and the main feather is hidden inside the handle, which is a great place to put your stuff. For the light it is actually a 3 watt RGB LED and the prop maker featherwing has the proper circuitry for powering these very voltage hungry 3 watt LEDs. Everything is 3D printed. Everything kind of screws and snap fits together so it's got a really easy assembly. One of my favorite parts about that is that you can take off the diffuser with just screwing it out so all of this assembly here is just snap fitted so you have all these little tubes that are printed in some translucent filament and when you throw some light on the back there they light up there. You could play around with different materials to get a better diffusion, maybe open them up or so but yeah all of this just snap fits together which is really sweet. There's the 3 watt RGB LED. The things about this is it gets very very hot so the PCB is actually a piece of aluminum and that piece of aluminum kind of doubles as a heat sink so you got to be careful when doing this. The way I was able to mount this without melting the PLA plastic is to use some standoffs and some hardware nuts to kind of elevate that from away and let the heat dissipate but yeah this right here is only about 10% brightness and that is about 100% brightness. It's as bright as the sun. You actually get some optical flares going on there which is pretty cool but yeah so it's mounted to that piece in there. This pipe here is actually two pieces that are screwed together. Everything right here is all screwed together so you have coils down here is where the speaker is hidden. It's got its own speaker holder that gets nestled in here so that's still removable. Wires pass through there. They come down in here and this is actually where the slide switch, the power switch is nestled into this little built-in holder and then yeah because everything is hollow the speaker has plenty of area to, sorry Pedro, has plenty of area for the sound to escape. So down here another one of my favorite parts is the pommel right? Every anatomy of a sword at the bottom piece here is called the pommel and this one has some holes there to allow us the sound to come through and then this little guy's little purple tab if you pull this out there's the secret sauce there. That is the heart of the project that is the prop maker feathering nestled in with the M4 feather and you can see the battery is right there. You got a connector for speakers. You have access to the reset button if you want to update circuit python and then of course you have access to the USB port so if you want to update the code throw on some new sound effects or all and you know nestled there inside the the feathers on board flash very very quick to pull this all out. You notice that there's a little bit of a groove here this is actually sort of a rail and inside the handle there is an accompanying kind of nubby part that allows this to it doesn't it doesn't rotate freely in there so that's a kind of a neat thing if you're making a prop with a handle and you want to have a relatively sturdy arrangement for your circuit this is a kind of cool way to do that and that just kind of fits and hopefully the sound effects isn't blinded everybody but there you go there's some overhead so that's a quick demo of the prop it's a pretty sturdy prop it's got the relatively good thickness so you can kind of whack it as hard as you want you'll probably want to be careful here you don't want to hit somebody with it or anything but you can definitely swing it around I've been doing that a lot so it's about 22 inches this way and I like it it's kind of fun I really like the sound effects too the sound effects are a part of the motion poll sound pack from video co-pilot which I'm a huge fan of really co-pilot alright so this is indeed a time stick so it has broken the time it has broken the time I really like random choice as a way to randomize your your sound effects because it's just like do that all day you play around with the thresholds as well if you want to make it less sensitive or more sensitive you can just update those values in the code which is really easy to do so there's no post-processing done on any of these pieces they're all just straight out of the printer so this is some philamentum repuzzle Rapunzel silver this is some philamentum dark chocolate whatever they call it and this is some philamentum galaxy black but you could probably find some alternatives on Amazon or wherever else you'd like to get your filament but yeah no post-processing was done I just used the filament colors yeah pretty cool so that is one of the fun things I wanted to do is because this is you know modular and you can easily take out the diffuser I had an idea okay an idea so okay and I have this fun thread here so now I can adapt this and put this on other different things so one of my favorite little kind of diffusers is this Lego head hello so this Lego head is something of a bit of a circuit playground project we did a couple years ago and I really thought it'd be cool to adapt the bottom here so that it would fit into this so let's see what that looks like it's a super ridiculous I'm very aware of that that's why I did it so you got this guy here and then you got this guy a bit of a skull face there completely transformed the look and feel of the prop by putting on a diffuser real quick interesting note about this little face here this is actually just vinyl decals so vinyl with a vinyl cutter you can cut out some vinyl and use some transfer tape to stick this over your 3d print and now you don't have to worry about dual extruding this side here however is dual extruded not to worry about that though you can just use some vinyl cutter really good technique to do some some masking stuff there but yeah that's that's that's super ridiculous and it's really bright there that is a creepy Lego head yeah go ahead and check out guide look at some assembly okay so keep it like this there's a bit of an idle sound effect as well so we really wanted to have this atmospheric thing going on here so if you hear this kind of idle sound it's a part of the sound pack hopefully this fall don't blow on it all right so let's double check the learn guide homepage just kind of has a list of all the parts that you need so you need the prop maker the feather wing sorry the feather and for the 3 1 led the mini over a speaker it's a really nice speaker 2200 million lipo battery which is rechargeable little slide switches and headers and some cables and plugs and things that make the assembly easier down into the circuit diagram this one just shows you how to wire up the the do-do-do the 3 watt RGB LED in the slide switch everything else just kind of plugs in you got ports here for the for the speaker it plugs directly in you also get a plug for the battery here on the feather and for so pretty straightforward just a note again the RGB LED gets super hot so be careful when handling in fact don't handle it well it's turned on because it gets really hot 3d printing page a list of all the parts there's quite a few of them but you know they print without any support material which is really nice and you can just pick whatever filament you'd like to choose I got a little technical drawing here for the for the guard like the screw threading for that the light holder so you can play around with that if you want to make an adapter for it but the files themselves are STLs and 3MF you can also download the CAD source which is in a step file format or a the actual Fusion 360 file is available to which has all of the parts and stuff like that so if you want to get your own you want to model up some things particular to the the feather M4 and the prop maker feathering we actually have these 3d models available to download on your GitHub repo picture will post a link to that if you're already did actually so you can get you can get these 3d models in various formats STLs and steps and all the original file formats they're one-to-one accurate they're all prepopulated with the components and connectors so you can have a really good one-to-one accurate model when designing props using the feather and prop maker feather wean yeah and there's a link to that here too as well and the learn guide excellent all right onto the code page this page here just walks through installing the latest version of circuit python onto your feather M4 pretty straightforward the feather all feathers have this really nice bootloader where you can switch between Arduino and circuit python and whatever else by using the reset button so that's really cool huge shout out to cat me Rambo for putting this code together for us this is actually some code from a couple years ago for a lighter prop that we did it was a bit of a lightsaber project so this one just kind of updates it so that it it has different colors and different thresholds and different sound effects but the majority of it is still modifiable you can change up the colors and the thresholds everything is commented so you just kind of read through it and change up whatever values that that will fit your project you can add more or take away sounds by modifying the swing sounds array and the the hit sounds list you can change this out yeah and it's pretty straightforward so check it out we also have the sound effects available so if you just want to download all the things to the project use this little button here it's called the download project bundle that actually download the way files and the library so you won't have to hunt them down which I'm really a fan of so check that out when you want to play around with this one as a double check sanity check you want to make sure that your circuit pie drive has all the folders and assets in your drive that's how circuit python works as you plug it into a USB capable computer all the libraries and sounds and code is accessible and here's a little screenshot of all the things you get a nice chunky stack of sound effects so and they're kind of they could be probably used for other projects not just this this thing here these actually I don't know I was gonna say like and there's a link here to the motion pulse sound packed from video copilot if you want to check that out but we checked with our lawyers and it's okay to distribute them freely so that's why we did that thanks lawyers and then here's a quick little thing about the naming of the sound effects matter so if you want to change those you want to change those in the code but they're pretty kind of self-explanatory is read them the power on it's called on idle is idle swings or swings hits or hits so that's pretty straightforward yeah trying to make it as simple and easy as possible folks that are just getting started alright the rest of the pages are all about the assembly so making sure that your feather headers are installed in the right orientation and some tips on installing female headers onto your feather m4 that's always a little bit of a thing but yeah we walk through that the wiring is all segmented as well per component so wiring everything up there to connectors various connectors is always a good thing for assembly just makes it easier to disconnect things right and then this page here just walks you through setting everything up how to install the hardware to get your 3Y LED mounted to the LED holder and then you really want to follow this chronologically because the order of this the order of these operations really do matter you don't want to do it backwards because yeah it really depends on the right order but yeah it's just a quick look I'm just scrolling through all the various photos of connecting and installing this in the right order so why yeah here's a nice look at the feather you're gonna need some some some hardware nuts and screws to attach to feather but that's probably the only thing that uses screws everything else snap fits like I said there's really no glue that I use in any of the parts so that's kind of cool it's all disassembly disassembable so that's really really nice I'm proud of that but yeah connectors for the win everything's JST or molex so there you go and then the the diffuser itself has its own little kind of sub-assembly again no glue everything just gonna snap fits and I made sure the dodge is a little bit loose so that folks that have tight tolerances will will hopefully print it out relatively easily there you go that's the final build very awesome thank you comments over on YouTube people are saying just in time for Halloween you know who they're dressing up as yeah what is he me dressing up as Loki or Sylvie Loki's like a bunch of variants you can be any any free color whatever gender I need is everyone I need are the little help the horns I need to go I don't know what to say people are saying that the stream is like playing back it's working just fine for me so I don't know in which which place they said twitch and Facebook or no twitch and YouTube but here's a Facebook link if that helps it's fine fine for me I don't know real quick last night I like I close the heat rins I cost a huge is how do you say it so I made a little post-ahegian top here it's kind of geometric makes look like a was it sims like when you have a little jam on top of your eyes funny haha it was really cool that you can use the same sort of threading actually have like a standardized threading that'll print very easy to be able to swap around right imagine that's what I love about this thing so if you want to increase the length of this pipe make it a staff you could do that as well yeah I really like the designing threads for your parts that connect and because it's all cylindrical you don't really have to worry about like the alignment of anything so everything can just tighten up as you need no blue if you are traveling if you're a cosplayer you need to travel it's so important to be able to just like oh let me just take this off and then like put it in a briefcase or something so my time to stick here but yes that is this week's projects hope everybody enjoys it or at least get inspired to design something modular I was gonna say it completely modular so you can edit that to your heart's content I would have loved to sample some of the sound effects from the show but it really wasn't I really don't remember any of the sound effects from the show so it's pretty much that I know it's pretty much gonna sound something is when they do the pruning where it actually happens right doesn't really make sounds outside of being pruned but cool I will turn it off now yeah any questions about the assembly or the proper the code anything like that feel free to hit us up throughout the show that is this week's project just couple days before Halloween so hurry up and start printing this I think that takes about probably a whole day oh another thing about that about the prop is that it will fit on even the smallest printers our smallest printer is 140 by 150 by 150 millimeters and every one of those pieces fit because you can size to yeah I size it to be like the max is 139 millimeters tall and that's the handle everything else like the pipe those are two pieces it's about a hundred 200 millimeters or no I'm sorry it's like 130 millimeters tall so but what I think is the smallest printer you should be able to print them on most printers now if you got a SLA printer I don't know these are all done on on FDM fused FFF we should work on these days they should work on I think it'd be really cool to print the diffusers in resin like that would be so cool they probably diffuse way better don't have access to one so I don't know for sure so if you got an FDM printer good SLA it's on figure it out yeah apologies people are saying Facebook is also buffering it's playing fine for me it's our restream and I don't know what that's sorry again I'm watching oh you're watching what's restream is streaming so I don't know it looks I'm seeing a glitches right restream it's actually we're frozen on restream I mean it's playing back full speed like right don't say no let's keep going alright let's go ahead and jump into this week's what are we prototyping are you protoge so there's new Spider-Man movie coming out and they are teasing the green goblin or no they tease the octave octo doctor octo and then you see a on-screen you see one of the pumpkin prop bombs rolling down on the road and Lamar was like I need to jump on that so we're using a circuit play ground blue fruit with some three printed shells that go on top of our very lovely ornament that is size for the circuit play ground so this is just a shell that attaches on the there and these little two-piece ornament that will fit that we also have one that'll fit the micro bit and what I did was a print out the shell made like a little design for that and then a little holder that will attach turn this off so you can see a bit more better yeah circuit play ground blue fruit and a 16 Neopixel ring so that fits on there oh yeah you got the battery on there with us it's on this one is the 420 I think a 500 should fit well battery yes yes so all snap fit together you got these little snaps on there that attach the CPB on there and that the on the backside here we do it of this one since there's no wires on it we'll have the 16 at the pixel ring that also just snaps in like that and you have enough room for your wires and your battery and I'm printed out one where the tolerances fit very nice on there so it has because you have a little bit of room on there so if you don't have like some way to press fit it in there it'll like sort of move around like that so that's what I'm doing right now just getting it to fit on there perfectly so you can press fit it in and it won't move around like it is right now and then beyond that yeah the testing out different colors for the shells so these will just snap fit together I tried an orange one and a red one the translucent on there I think the red's gonna go with that and because this is an ornament that we're actually attaching this to what a great ornament it's perfect for Christmas you don't want to theme it out I mean this doesn't even remind me of Spider-Man but it looks so cool yeah if you look up near the Green Goblin pumpkin bomb props it's that's what I thought that's what I copied I'm calling it a ornament yeah yeah what is it called the pattern design that's right wrap that from and you have a nice little bit of little holes in here we're gonna add some diffusion on here so if you look for like prop images of it there's like a little bit of fusion in there so you can have a little bit of opaqueness you don't see completely what the circuitry is in there I love the diffusion on that looks so great so good and it's so much like this is like the heart of this project I really do like this snap fit because what you get is you get neopixels on this side and neopixels on this side so that is awesome you get double sided neopixels and what I really like about this project is circuit Python has some really awesome group animations so you can see here both sides are animating independently so you can have two neopixel objects this is a part of the circuit playground this is an external neopixel so you can have them animate different things using the LED animation library so it's really really cool I could quickly show you where because I have never actually had to make a project where you have two independent neopixel objects and we have some demo code that you can literally just copy and paste it's ready to go I'm gonna say we're gonna go ahead and yeah yeah I'll pull it up here and the learn guide gotta wait because we're streaming to find different places so maybe it'll load maybe it won't you have to bear with us but I'll tell you how to get to it you can type in LED animation inside the learn guide search and then circuit Python LED animations is the is the guide we are really bad with the internet right now like I can't even load JPEGs and you want to go to the animation group page on the sidebar there just click on animation group internet's not working so I'm gonna have to like figure out something all the way down here it's this full example code you can download the project bundle it'll download all of the necessary libraries please do that because there are some dependencies for the circuit playground library and if you don't do it you're gonna be manually hunting all the independent libraries for all the sensors and things but hey this is all ready to go for you you can change up the number of pixels in your strip or your ring and you can change up the board pin by just changing that right there brightness is all right there it's in plain English so you can just read it and there you go but it's very very nicely documented shout-out to to Katnie Rambo for putting this together you can see even some gifts here I'm showing the circuit playground with an external strip so this is really really awesome project if you're doing anything for the holidays with a circuit playground you attach an external strip definitely check this guide out and that is the LED animation library for circuit Python I think the only thing missing is maybe some sound effects oh gosh sure there's a built-in speaker it has a built-in accelerometer temperature sensor light sensor I'm out of breath sensor it's just the best thing and thousands of folks have the circuit playground so definitely use it for something if you just have it laying around please I beg you use it to make something awesome when he does very very fun project mom just come in here she's like that is so cool it's just looking at the lights glow and stuff you don't have to put any effort into the parts really really cool there was a bunch effort at one I know I know just look at the trash can I know I'm just saying like if you don't have three printing skills you can still make something awesome with circuit Python and the hardware I can't remember what else I was gonna say but yeah I think next week or two can I just say that I brought down a Christmas tree and put it all up even though it's not even Halloween yet no we got a shot but you feel that we've I feel like we're behind I think Disney started putting up all their Christmas stuff two weeks ago I know it's not Halloween yet but we've been in Halloween mode since September so yeah we've been celebrating it every single day it's time I love this one of that effect where it's doing the the chase chase is one of my favorite animations and you can customize and make the intervals it's so fun to play around with LED animation library very cool so get your circuit playground you might got one for free if you spent enough money with us we used to give it out for free but you know you ran out we ran out of them all right any comments drop them down any no suggestions on the filament to use we're using the translucent red from Ultimachine and it looks very nice great fused in this PLA just regular PLA yep if you're gonna play with PETG make sure you print it hotter yeah that's all I can say about that one but we like to stick with PLA the prop here is all PLA to there's no one oh yeah you broke it would agree the PET one yeah I didn't have it on my hands look how flexible it is and it just snapped all the bits off but this is this is nice and thick here and you get that nice rigidity with the PLA but you gotta print PETG at the right temperature in order for it to be a needle all right go ahead and jump into this week's community makes all right every Tuesday we find a fun inspiring project to 3d Prince and do a time lapse up this week bit of a wearable this is called the skull necklace by Dave makes stuff so this is definitely if you don't want to dress up but you still want to be themed for the holidays there's a nice little jewelry accessory that you can print out and be nice and ghoulish for Halloween this is a skull necklace oh it's pretty good oh yeah it's a print a place I didn't even notice that and print a place it has all these little joints that you can move the skulls around and it's not just a necklace the post actually has a bunch of different ones like bracelets and earrings and everything the skull related that jewelry you can find on that post and this is so crazy it's so crazy rings you got like all these different sizes you got like these different the like the it's stacked for like the earrings this is freaking awesome such a good job and getting all of the joints to print without any supports and they're nice and not too loose not too tight tolerances are nice oh yeah yeah I would have to take the jewelry thing yeah so all this printed place it's excellent so a bunch of little skulls that make up a nice little choker I think is what this one is for but you can print a really big one to make a whole necklace or like we're shown earlier a ring or the earrings great choice so pretty good shiny gray is that the this is Rapunzel silver from filamentum and take a look at the detail focusing on there excellent job in terms of being able to get all the detail on there on a small print this isn't like a nozzle thing it's just point to you can tell here with the overhang layer height I think this is a support yeah there were supports on all the backs here but they come up pretty easy if you use the sort settings that we like using but there you go very awesome way to have a nice little ghoulish theme for your Halloween you don't have to wear it you put it on the prop as well very this is true yeah very cool cool shot outs to Dave make style make stuff excellent excellent just time for the holidays there's all the thing files there's a bunch of them yeah very cool you know print them in whatever color typical all right we have some other things here in the community makes some things are brought to us so let me let me pull up some fun stuff here from super cool yeah it's super cool a couple years ago we we did a IOT smart planner and George Enrique Combala Fuentes put together a nice blog post of of their build so very very cool to see other folks build it and have a whole build log of how they put together and their experiences with it it works it confirms that our models work it totally works and I'm glad that everybody who built one is just happy with it and it's very modular snap fit yada yada who cares very very cool thanks George for putting up a blog post not many folks put together a blog post of their builds and like make these phenomenal little gifts and stuff of the of them flowering and stop too much water oh especially for a succulent no that's gonna die all right well that's one of them so shout out to George put that together and sharing it with everybody here's another one what is this one I guess the LED gas mask LED gas mask this is really cool this was posted up by our drave z on Thingiverse they got their build together of this 3d printed gas mask with neopixels a laser pointer I think yellow wire as well and the neopixel ring and some conduits you can make some cool gas mask light light up stuff so very very cool okay another one over here this is the the iPhone case posted up by J this is for the 12 so in the oh okay it says that it works for the so the description J says I printed this up for my iPhone 13 max taking a chance that they were going to be the same dimensions you can modify your description now that you know it works I use pet G because it's all I had I'm gonna this works with pet G so they got their I don't know I don't know how this works since I was pretty sure that the volume and the the power button maybe in the switch we're calling you for they went around date their dimension I don't know I didn't get the max this year so yeah I'm glad it works maybe they don't know it says pro max and mini flex case because it's pro 12 oh but it works on the 13 so I'm saying your older one from the non me no you made a pro no no I know I know that's what I'm like I was pretty sure that all the buttons moved around at least they did for the the non max and the mini because I had up the update the case for the many and your team shout out to Jay strength for putting this off but I'm glad folks are getting their cases printed it's a really cool use case of 3D printing all righty and then the last one we have here which is this one this is a laser cut window for the pico midi fighter project I did not know that you can do variable depth cuts with a laser cutter it's news to me they were able to figure out how and they even posted some of their speed and power settings that is very useful so if you are building the the pico midi fighter and you're looking for how to you can't mail this out you can laser cut it to you don't yeah you can laser cut it or 3d printed it's cool so that's really cool I haven't seen that before see you later night folks bye


Good afternoon to one and all. Myself Suresh and they are my team-mates Akshay and Sumeda. So today we are here to present our project event logging and content versioning system. To begin with I'll start with a few lines of motivation. So you might be intrigued about how Google, Amazon and YouTube know exactly what videos, products and articles you are interested in. So do they have psychic abilities? Apparently not. They do keep an eye on your online activities and which indeed is event logging. So another thing that we can answer right now is how do these companies develop such flawless products? Do they do that in one go? Don't they goof up in making such big products? Of course they do. But they have a saved working prototype of their previous versions where content versioning comes into the picture. So what qualifies as an event? An event can be anything which does a substantial addition to your event log database where you can analyze and have some analytical questions of yours answered. What is content versioning? So best example of content versioning can be good. You can also think of content versioning as just as a game which has 100 levels. That's your checkpoint. So that is a content version of your previous success. To begin with our architecture, basically Drupal has the core Drupal module, users, administrators and the complete code is written and runs on PHP which is connected to a web server, has a database and we have added the event log and real-time logs as a backup. Next we'll be continued by Akshay. I'll give a brief description of what our project is all about and what we have tried to include. Why Drupal 7? Sir Drupal 7 is the most widely used version of Drupal 8. So Drupal 7 has a wide documentation which... Sir Drupal 7 is most widely used. So why not Drupal 8? See there is a marginal architectural difference between 6 to 7 and 7 to 8. So what you... Yes, use difference. So if you do something on 7, it is not going to be used by it. And you know the future is it. So why 7? Actually the... Doesn't matter. Let's do what you're done. Drupal 7 is wrong. Definitely wrong. So actually we are the main purpose. I'll explain it. We have tried to enhance the functionality of the existing event log module in Drupal 7. The present module has several backlogs we can say. Presently it does not support the basic features and which are very, very necessary. We have implemented some of the features like clearing the logs, getting a backup of the entire event log database and at the same time we are logging the logs on the cloud also. We will give a detailed description in the further slides. So you are protecting the logs. There is a logging system which is unprotected. So you are protecting it. We are basically storing them. Logging system stores it anyway. Sir, we are actually creating a kind of backup for them. Correct. So you are protecting it. Yeah. Kind of. Secondly... Does Drupal 8 protect its log system? Drupal 8 does not have a system as of now. Come on, man. I can't believe such statements. Drupal 8 is the future. They don't have a logging system. Then it is not of any use. No, not the logging, the backup system that we have made. Correct. So Drupal 7 does not have. Drupal 8 does not have, you are saying. Sir, actually we don't know about Drupal 8. We have worked with Drupal 7, so we are quite clear about... Drupal 7 does not have. You have added the backup system. Secondly, we have tried to... The logs are captured in a file. Sir, presently they are in a table. MySQL database there. We are trying to... Okay, fine. So what are you doing when you back it up? Sir, we have provided multiple functionalities. We are also storing them... Go and tell me the functionalities. Sir... I am interested very much. According to me, the world has lots of databases. Yes, sir. Okay. Nobody writes backups for them. The databases themselves have got something called a check point, which is a backup. Okay. And the n number of systems which can backup a data and say check point, right? They store it every day, every month. Banks are using that. Banks are logging systems. They don't have that. The database gets backed up. So I don't know what you are doing anyway. Go. Purpose of this thing. Go ahead. We have implemented the use of Cron also. Sir, actually it is not in the functionality, existing functionality. We have added some of the features. Because it is not a functionality. We have added... Cron job is a job of an administrator. It is not given anywhere as a functionality. Sir, no. The way that we are taking backup are real-time logs and there is a purpose why we are doing that. Correct. So tell me the purpose of real-time log of a logging system. Basically, while we are taking backup in the local system by just the click of a button in a file. Okay. What is special about this file? It has standard backup practices. So what you can do to get it back to structured form is you can just write a script which will delimitate the existing log by white spaces and you can get it back to your structured SQL database. The other thing that we are doing is storing all the backups on the cloud instantaneously. See, I have got two issues now. First is that whenever you talk about backup, backup is normally is not our only copy. It is a compressed different format which is being time marked so that we can recover it based on the time. Right? You are saying that you are taking a backup in databases. That actually doesn't call as backup. It is just a copying the database. You are taking a backup of database either. You are saying real-time. I don't know. This slide doesn't say but real-time. When real-time, you need not have to take a backup. Backup is something which is taken post. Real-time when you take, we didn't call it as a backup. It is best practice then save it simultaneously to different servers. Just save here also and save there also. It doesn't call as a backup. Then it is called as a saving at the multiple locations and this also is a standard practice in the banking server, share and other, they save it to the different continents for the security purpose. So, I didn't understand what exactly your motive is. If you clear your aims and objectives, initially it will be better for us to analyze your work. So, I think let's go to the second one. You said crowd sourcing. So, you mentioned something else. Sir, we are providing an interface for the collaborating communities. Collaborating communities is another project of FRG. We are providing them the necessary information that they require for the development of the recommendation system. Basically, collaborating communities is a project under FRG. It's a separate project. Sir, they require some sort of tags and articles or top 10 articles, rated articles. So, we are basically implementing two types of features under this. It has received excellent response and even Pankajar has expressed his desire to include it in his Sardar Vallabhbhai Patil portal website under NVLI. Under this project feature, firstly we are showing the top 10 viewed articles just on the click of a button. Sir, they are presently using Drupal 8, but he has expressed his desire. Sir, collaborating communities project is also in Drupal 7 actually. Yeah, probably 8 should have used it. Okay, so that's a mistake. Second thing, I'll just give an overview. So, you have a Drupal system here. Yes. And then what you want is to login every activity of the user. Yes, sir. Right? That is what is your aim. You are logging every activity of the user. Yes, sir. I mean, when you are trying to give that module to collaborative community project, so their project needs that event logging mechanism. That is the poor kind of work. Second thing, they had a problem. Actually what they did, they put up everything in the database. So, the database came as a free lunch, right? I mean, along with the module. The module which they picked up, you know, the database, it was required for the module to log in the database. Yes, sir. Then I think it happened quite late that when we interacted, they said that this is not a good solution. So, the good solution would be, like push all the logs to some file distributed storage kind of. So, we have put it in the future. So, that is the work in progress and they have not been able to do it. So, I will give you a very good example of the every activity login that is MediaViki. If you go to the Wikipedia or somebody, if you put any activity you are doing, it is being logged. You have got a version control also. You can go and check the differences between those versions also. So, MediaViki has excellently executed the version control and logging system, which is a transparent and the stability of the MediaViki you know very well. World-wide people are using Wikipedia, but still never crashes. So, anyway that is a very good architecture they have come up in MediaViki. I think that similar kind of architecture may have, some module may have been available in Drupal, you people may have been checked. So, we actually firstly have to identify the right module for making the changes. There are a number of modules available. So, here. We show the top 10 and show the top 10 good articles. Sir, actually. These are available. These are standard modules available actually. Crowd-sourcing and a number of modules are available if you search. I don't know. Sir, top 10 good articles is not available actually. We have developed it. Top 10 will be available. Sir, we can make it for N. We have provided. No, but it will be available. Sir, I understand. They have created two features. Sir, this is to be incorporated with the event. So, visualizations are also there. I have seen so many forums like Phala Forum and other thing, which gives the built-in feature. Top 10 viewed, latest visitor, many things. So, this is very common feature. I am surprised you are claiming that Drupal doesn't have this. I don't know actually. I am not claiming. They are in splits of different modules. Sir, we are also providing APIs for them so that they can fetch the data in the desired format that they want. Sir, these are the top 10 viewed articles by a particular user. Left side shows the name of the article. While the right side shows the tags corresponding to that article. Sir, now the log data visualizations. Sir, this is the visualization. This visualization basically shows... These graphs are being plot by you or Drupal? Sir, we have used D3JS. Pardon? D3JS. It's a JavaScript library. D3JS library you have used. Yes, sir. So, you have passed the data through the IRA to the library and it is visualizing, okay? Sir, this visualization basically shows the triggering of each operation for a particular month. Sir, this is basically a force-directed graph. Now, Suraj will explain. So, what this graph basically does is... So, you have to give your start URL of your website and then it will scrape all the web pages that are corresponding to the source code of that URL. Is it already made JS you have used? No, no, no. So, JS is used for this visualization. This is a force-directed graph. Okay. The data is captured using the process I'm telling you. So, you get all the crawl pages and once you have crawled all the pages we are using page-ranking algorithms to rank these pages. So, these small circles are actually pages and the circle with the most diameter has the most page-rank, the largest page-rank. So, we'll be showing that in the demo. You have developed any algorithm or something or ready-made libraries you have used? Page-ranking we have actually implemented. Not implemented, we have taken source... My question is very specific. There are so many libraries available, functionalities available. You have to pass on your links and then it will get the data visualized. Yeah, yeah, any URL. So, this is actually... we chose courtship.com because courtship is built on Rupal. Have you done it with IIT? Yeah, we have done it. We have done it. It's working. Currently, it has 10 because... IIT copies are available. Sir, we haven't... Every node is actually a page, but if you take all the pages what happens is once the page-rank algorithm runs the lower pages almost have equal page-rank. So, there is no point in visualizing those pages which are the same page-rank. What does it show? This actually... Does it show all the pages or it shows 10 ranks? So, what I am saying is that it is better to show your contribution rather than showing the other API you have used and passed on because these are very standard, so many tools available. You get the entire tree also, all wings also, because these are the APIs written by somebody else and you are just passing the URL and getting the output and then showing it, visualizing it. We will be more interested if you tell us what you have created. Your own creation rather than the application. Actually, we have to make it compatible with Rupal also. It has various issues. Incorporating everything in the module was a challenge. So, we have taken bits of pieces that will be useful. So, what this will be useful for is, for example... Okay, let's come back to it. Whatever great things you have done with Rupal, how you publish it to Rupal? Sir, we have contacted Brandon Allen of Rupal Association and we are about how to contribute. He has sent us a mail back and we are going through it. Actually, we just sent them in last week, so we are finding out the process of how to make the contribution. We have contacted them. Yeah, the contribution is in progress and the main... This can be useful for generating revenue. Why? Because you can post advertisements on the page which has the most hits. And that page is the one with the most diameter, that circle. We show you that in the demonstration. This complete... Okay, next. Yeah, so the challenges that we faced include... So, we had to identify a module which we had to contribute to. We had many options like this log, event log. But we found event log the most suitable because it had four basic operations which include user and node CRUD operations and taxonomy operations. And the main challenge was writing these modules and making them compatible and getting in synchronization with the existing event log module. So, that was the second one. And the other thing that was an issue in the event log module is the permissions. Every directory had different permissions. So, when we had to take a backup or when we had to store this live data, we could not do it. And there is a file known as default. All files. Where we have public permission. There is one very good software available. Lock for PHP. They have a lock for series available. Lock for J is also available for Java. Lock for PHP for PHP. If you study Lock for PHP, this work has been done very easily for them. You have to just take it, put it on any software, even your own developed software also. And it creates all the kind of graphs and events and everything, captures everything. What kind of browser people have used, what kind of ways they have, what kind of click they have, every single click. And you decide what exactly you have to customize to produce the report or to store into the database and whatever. But anyway, good work. I think that you should conclude. And next people should come. Next group.


sleeping poorly can hurt your deadlift and you're back. And I don't just mean the position that you're sleeping in. I mean, if I'm only sleeping five hours a night, not my normal eight hours that I'm looking for, if I'm sleeping five hours a night, my body isn't recovering, my cells aren't recovering and it actually promotes this inflammatory state within my body. And I don't have research papers to support this. I don't know exactly what's happening, but I know that I've seen it. I know that people who don't sleep well don't move well, okay? So what we're talking about here is this lack of recovery or this pro-inflammatory state. They have more inflammation in their body and it just starts to attack itself and your body has these protective mechanisms. If you watch my last video on nutrition, it's the same kind of principle here. So this pro-inflammatory state keeps my abdomen from, or prevents my abdomen from being able to tolerate increased pressure, like the pressure that I need during a deadlift, okay?  And I get this little pooch belly. We talked about that in the last video. I get this little sway back position. I kind of showed you that before. And all these things happen. So my hips open up in the front and they close a lot in the back. I get really tight back here, maybe just throughout the day, maybe during my deadlift, right? So if you're feeling that over and over and over again and none of the positional cues that you give yourself during your deadlift are helping, you can't find any exercise to help you find the right positions. Maybe you need to look somewhere else. Maybe, like in our last video, you need to look at your nutrition or maybe, like in today's video, you need to look at your sleep. So make sure you're sleeping eight to nine hours a night. Try to do anything you can to make it a regular start and ending time and try to do anything you can to sleep all the way through the night. If you need some help sometimes, first thing that I'm recommending is get those times down. So go to bed at the same time, wake up at the same time. Other things, you could do some very light, like yoga type exercise before bed. I like to give clients very particular, we call them neurological resets. So these exercises help calm their nervous system down. It helps kind of support some sleep. If you do too much exercise, that's gonna turn you up. So you gotta be careful there. I wouldn't do a whole routine. I'd just do a select exercise that you find calming.  Don't stare at your phone or a TV or a blue light for your camera. Luckily, it's still early. I'm good, I'm good. Those are just some ideas. Sleep is a very broad and complex topic. If you need more help with that, Google it.


Joe Harris, big off the bench, 28 points. Kairos Levert in the starting lineup tonight, 22 points, 50 combined for those two. The bubble nets beat the Sixers 122, 109. The reason why Kairos Levert was in the starting lineup, no Kyrie Irving, and you have some news on him. Yeah, it looks like that could be the case tomorrow as well, according to sources. Kyrie Irving not expected to make the trip to Memphis. Remember, the nets are going right from the arena to the airport, flying down to Memphis. They play the Grizzlies there tomorrow night. So as of right now, the nets are saying, personal reasons, and we don't want to speculate. There's a lot of stuff on the internet. That's not fair to do. So I think tomorrow night, Steve Nash, his pregame meeting with the media, will probably get a better sense of what's going on right now. But it looks like Kyrie Irving will not be available tomorrow night as well for the Brooklyn Nets. And see if they can continue this winning, because they've already won two games now without Kevin Durant, and there's a possibility that Kevin Durant could play on Sunday.
