Here we are. So hello everybody. This is Google Summer of Code office hour for today, August 10th. Welcome everybody. Thank you for joining. And so we have today we have Jakruti and we have Harsh as contributors and we have Chris and Alyssa on deck too for this meeting. Thank you everybody. So Adrian is just joining Ashutosh. Well, okay. I just said the people that were available and here they come, they're joining. Hello Adrian, hello Ashutosh. Just checking sound with Ashutosh, do you hear me? Why are there still no mute or struggling with these cables over the place? We'll check afterwards. So let's do a short roundup with where the project is standing. A double check I want to make. I know it's August here in Europe. Many people are taking holidays. Just want to be sure that holidays are correctly covered for everybody that nobody's alone sitting in the cold. This basically what I want to discuss or share with you. I have no other news or information for you. I will leave time at the end if you have a topic you would like to raise. So short roundup as usual. What happened last week? What is planned for the coming weeks? Maybe just highlight if you feel comfortable if people in your project team are unavailable. And just tell me what's going on. Now first one in a row on the top right on my screen is Jakruti. So Jakruti, tell us. Hello everyone. I just want to say that coming two weeks will be really crucial for me. Because it is not just because I have to complete a book because Adrian has made it clear that he doesn't actually want me to succeed in a number of contributions and number of projects I have completed. But he wants me to be more efficient and autonomous of how I go about things, how I understand things on my own, which are research work items. So I am from now on going to focus on that mostly. And also about my updates, I won't say that, okay, this program is finished or this is pending, but I have to do this. I would actually tell you what I am learning and what mistakes I did and when I'm stuck. So speaking of that, the bug fixes that I'm working on. There were a few things that like, there were a few parameters I could work without, which I had used. So that was what Adrian pointed in the review. So I fixed that one. In the next probe, it was again implementing an abstract class, which was a little different than what I had implemented. So I kind of messed that up. Then I read about it, Adrian explained me. So now I have also completed that part. I have implemented it again and it is under again review. So I hope these things will put in around this week. For next week, I already have like, I have a list of things to like probes lined up to complete. So I will work on the next task. If these two get completed, if these two was that completed this week, that's all from my side. Okay, good. Thank you for the update, Jakruti. So quality instead of quantity, which is, which really makes sense because when you have quality, the quantity comes automatically. Don't hesitate to reinforce some, I won't say the word weaknesses, but in the Java and object-oriented sphere, I think some reading, it's difficult, I know, but I encourage you to read. The book I pointed out in Gitter is a book that helped me personally quite a lot. I would read that. Thank you. Yeah. Okay, worthwhile to put some work there. Great, Jakruti. I know you're putting a lot of effort in it. We're all behind you, all behind, believe that. Thank you. Thank you, Jakruti. If somebody wants to add something just for holidays, I think Adrian is going to leave for a couple of weeks. Everything is organized. Is that correct for you? Yeah, correct. Yeah, yeah. I'll be off starting this Friday, officially for my company this Friday afternoon, my time zone. However, this is completely, to me, that's open source and I'm lucky to have that and all during my workday, but it's also something that I watch outside of that. So I'll be monitoring, maybe not as closely as I'm now, but I'll be monitoring everything that Jakruti is asking any question, any comments on the side. And I know that another mentor, Antoine, is coming back next Wednesday on the 16th. And yeah, I think Keo would be back in two weeks. So yeah, there's plenty of, there's a lot of people that will be here for you, Jakruti, so no worries about that. We are not abandoning you. And we make sure that you'll get all the help that you need. Okay, great. Much appreciated, Adrian. You know what I'm going to tell you is be careful also for your health. Holidays are important. Have a nice cream on me. And we'll check that. But much appreciated that you're involved. I have plenty of drinks for you. Okay, good. Thank you for the updates. Next one in a row is harsh. Tell us what has been happening, what you plan to do in the holiday period. I think, well, Chris is watching you back at two and I don't know when he takes holidays. So I don't know. It's always there. Harsh, go ahead. I'll stop talking. Yeah, so we were in this week, mostly we were testing the milestone two and we found some bugs, like some really deep bugs of auto merging stuff. And we were fixing it like I messed it up because I did a mistake of type. Like I had to use capital B for Boolean and I used small b. And that's why this thing was not working. The way it should be and Mark tested it. So shout out for Mark. Like he tested it really, really well. And the testing is going on other than this, like because the milestone two is the core of the migration, once it gets merged, other full requests are almost very easy to get merged. Like they're not much of a problem. So like, yeah, it's going well. Once the tests are complete, I think we should be good to go. Like I have added the milestone four and milestone five also. So it's just merging that has to be done. So I'm hoping that this week, like our testing for the milestone two will be completed. And then in the next proceeding weeks, we will be able to merge all the full requests. It's still a lot of testing required. So what is the current testing goal and how much has been already tested? Actually, this this plugin, because we need to test it a lot because like I've almost divided a lot of things in it. And the problem is the, like I've created some 10 or 11 pointers for testing and we also need to test the permutations and combinations of those so that we know that things are working as we want it to be. And another thing is, if I make a slight change in the plugins code base, then we have to test everything all over again. Everything. Because of course, yeah, we are going to deploy it in production.  So yeah, a lot of testing has to be done here. And I know, I know the answer, but it's interesting to explain to everybody. Normally tests should be automated. Is there a reason why you're doing it by hand currently? Yeah, like one of the tests we were having for the plugin are very outdated. So we have to like improve them. I improved a lot of the tests, but I think 30 or 40 were left, like 30 or 40 unit tests were left. Other than that, I think 100 or something were already automated. But we are not really like focusing on that because automated tests only test the part of the unit, like the unit of the plugin. If they're not testing it completely and interactively, and the tests are integration tests and end-to-end tests that are there in the plugin, they're extremely outdated. Like they're thinking that I think they're based on GitLab 8. And to get it working, it's quite difficult. It was a stretch goal. I don't know if I'll be able to achieve it or not, but it was a stretch goal. So we are, like Mark suggested, that we do interactive testing much more. And in the case of proxy settings also, we cannot test it through unit tests, even when I tried using test containers and all. But I think it will be much more of an effort to actually set up automated integration tests for proxies and all. So we are doing all the tests manually. But you're just not lecturing, but here pointing out what it's the case, having automated tests would make the life easier, but it's a big investment. But let us not forget this part. It's like not doing the dishes and letting them in the sink. After a while, it goes over and you have nothing left to eat indecently. So automating tests should be something that keeps nagging you in your mind. It would be a very good addition if you continue contributing, especially as you have now to know. But I guess Chris is also going to do opportunities to work together. But the best tests are automated tests and that are maintained. Okay, very good. Chris, do you want to add something about our project? We may want to add some automated tasks later once we are sure what to ask for. Because right now there are a lot of things that we know we should test for, but they're not testing yet automatically. It made sense. And for me, I don't know with who I discussed that, but the tactical decision that was made made really sense. I just want, especially for the junior that I hear, so skipping tests is a recipe for disaster and the best tests are automated. So this is my, I know I shouldn't do that, but just wanted to point that out. Nothing is like for a test. We normally need to have two servers, so one for Jenkins and one for GitLab. Like if we do a local Atex, it's too slow. So you have to resort to it. It's part of the frustration actually, because we are using the GitLab image and I am using a MacBook and it's very slow. You'll have to wait for 30 minutes for the container to start and it usually gives me 500 and 502s. And it takes a lot of effort to get the tests working. And I think 30 or 40 of them are actually left and those tests that are left, some of the tests belong to milestone two. And I was not, I tried to work on that test that I gave, I think two to three days from a single test actually, because how hard it was, it was to test it because the GitLab for just forced a architecture on the GitLab plugin and now it is very difficult to test it. So yeah, that's one of the reasons like I slagged off the tests and tried to make the code in the production work first because if the code in the production does not work, what are the tests for? But if once the code in production works and we have, I think, one week or two weeks before the GSOC ends, then we can work extensively hard on the test part. Yeah. Okay, but what I like very much is that you know you have a very good understanding and a good teamwork. So there, I like that. The only major bug we have is for Auto Merge, which is the only issue, major issue. The only issue we have is with logging because for some reason we see some logs, but the action has been completed normally, but we get some errors for some reason. Okay, great. Let's move to Hashutosh somehow. He lands every time on the bottom of my list. I don't know how you managed to do that. So go ahead, Hashutosh. What is happening? Yes, so last I had a couple of tasks remaining for the previous week's milestone for which I have opened the PR. So they are working on my end. And other than that, I was working on integrating end-to-end multi-lunch pipeline project through the tutorials. For that is working on mine for which I will be creating a PR soon. So other than that, there are one other task which is mostly documentation. So that shouldn't take too long. And also I think just giving you a hint in case you're going to start now the discussion on how to integrate that now into the global Jenkins documentation ecosystem and what is required. It needs to be industrialized. Yes, I will be attending tomorrow's Docs Office hours Asia for that too. And other than that, I think there was one other task in the milestone of creating variable for using the repository for which we are using my repository right now. Yeah, a lot of people will like to use Jenkins. A lot of things have been set up to just work and are working with your account. And this is part of the industrialization that this is then moved over to the Jenkins ecosystem. Okay. Thank you very much. I think Bruno is on holiday until Wednesday of next week. Yes, but he's checking in. Okay. I don't feel like he's checking in regularly. Right. Okay. Very, very good. I'm still catching up with your project. So I have other things going on too. And but I see I'm not doing the mentoring that's required. I just see that everything's going okay and you're moving it. Great. Okay. So I see everything's going on, seen some messages on Gitter popping up from Vendit. But I think he's in between exams. So let's... I will have a meeting with Vendit tomorrow to discuss like what to do to fix the current and horror docs previous. Okay. So that is to be in a shape that's ready for presentation. Yeah. Good. And you have a discussion with Mark too, because one of the concerns was that it would be a waste that we have a half finished system. I want to have another meeting on Saturday as well to talk with Mark if in case he'll be there. Next week he will be away. Yeah. So anyway, but I see that all the projects have the hands on the steering wheel and know where to go and even if people are away, good. Okay. So I'm good. Good progress, hard work, sometimes bumps in the road. But let's keep trucking, as they say there. Is there somebody who wants to raise a topic, ask a question or has just a comment to do? Like I had a question. Go ahead. When is the end-term presentation? Because I can have my exams flashing. Okay. This is something I'm going to discuss with Alyssa because she's a grandmaster of Java online meetups and knows all the magic required to organize them. Currently it is planned mid-September, somewhere mid-September, which seeing your smile harsh is in the middle of your exams. Yeah. Right. Why do you guys always have exams? Why do teachers always have exams? Take an extra portion of economics and computer science. Okay. No problem. Here we'll come with a couple of dates and see and try to find a compromise. The end-term presentation is decoupled from the evaluation. So it is just wrapping up and finishing. Yeah, so the end-term evaluation is still September 5th, right? I don't have the... The evaluation is due, at least for the mentors, it's due end of August, but I believe that for the GSoc contributors it's due prior to that, at least a week prior. Anticipate probably the second week of this month. Go ahead. Have a look. I had a very tight schedule because I took some courses from my institute for other subjects also. So I have a lot of exams. So in the middle of September also I have exams and I am currently in my second year. So we have to do some summer projects also. So for the summer projects also, I think I'll be busy till September 5th and that thing also. That's why I'm a bit low in the project right now. I'll get in the pace after four to five days. I'll get into the pace till 15th of August. I think I was a bit busy. But yeah, I want you guys to find a place from September 5th to 15th, I guess, because I think 15th will be my exam. So 10th, yeah. Or after September 2. After the 10th, I have examinations. What they did was because of the added subjects, like it's not yet known when we'll choose exams, please. I'm just speculating because they told me it will be between this. Right. Here, Harsh, I'm going to contact you one-on-one by mail so that I'm sure because I have nothing to take notes here. Just to check for the dates and going around with the other mentors. And see what happened. Can you see what I said? Oh, there probably was a wasp. I heard somebody yelling. So, a wasp. Here, I'm going one-on-one and we need Alissa and myself. We need to make work on planning it. And we want everybody to feel comfortable because it will be a nice wrap-up of a long journey because we started that journey together several, several months ago. So remember the picture of the big mountain. It starts. I wanted to do it live because I'm just bored of recording stuff. And I don't want the interim presentation to be a recording. But I have a lot of exams for God's sake. I'm giving quizzes every four to five days. Okay. Good. We'll check that with Alissa. Are there other questions, comments? Yeah, I do have some comments because I got for the booting Jenkins.io project. We may need to extend it because we want more features to be completed. I'm not sure I understood that correctly. Can you rephrase that or say that again? Yeah, because for the booting, Jenkins.io project, more time. So the issue is the presentation for that project might need to be delayed. More time or so. Okay, then what is something for you and I that we dig into the GSOC rules and see how we can make that. So to have extra time. Yeah, but for the presentation, we may have to do it later. Yeah, Chris, you're making my life horrible because I understand your problem. Don't worry. Yeah, there's need more times. It's like I planned that ahead already. So it's expected because we did talk with Mark, we did talk with Wajif and Yiming and they all said it's okay. Yeah. And would doing the online presentation and September something acceptable? I think so. Yeah, it should be completed by the end of September. I think maybe just one month extension at most. I'm thinking or hoping. Yeah, okay. Harsh, will you be in the middle of exams or quizzes or so?  Yeah, I think it's in the end of September. I should not have examination. I'll recheck, but I don't think so. I should be having an examination. Okay. Sounds sounds good. Ashutosh, how would it look for you on your side in September? Or doing the presentation? I don't have exams in September, so it will be fine for you. Yeah, okay. Nice. Jakruti, is it okay for you in September? In September it's fine. Okay, well, you don't have exams anymore, but who knows might have other obligations. I don't think on September, I will let you know. Okay, good. Perfect. Thank you. Okay, so this is workfully signed me. Yeah. And we'll work on that. Okay, thank you very much. We're not there yet, but the end or one end is approaching. And continue like that. So, well, no, it was not good to say that way because some projects need a little bit more time to complete. But anyway, you got the message. As somebody I know stays, go, go, go. Let's finish this. Bye-bye, everybody. Thank you for joining and thank you for all the good news.  Bye-bye, everybody. Bye. Bye. Have a great day, everyone. Thank you. Bye-bye.


Hi and welcome to the session. I am Arsha and I am going to help you with the following version that says, find the sum of the following series to n terms. First is 5 plus 5 5 plus 5 5 5 plus 1 up to n terms. So let us start with the solution and let S n denote the sum of 5 plus 5 5 plus 5 5 5 plus so on to n terms. Now taking 5 common we have 1 plus 11 plus 111 plus so on to n terms. Now multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 9. So we have 5 upon 9 and multiplying 9 with the bracket. So multiplying 9 with each term of the bracket we have 9 plus 99 plus 99 and 99 plus so on to n terms and now this can further be written as 5 upon 9 10 to 9 can be written as 10 minus 1. 99 can be written as 100 minus 1 plus plus 999 can be written as 1000 minus 1 plus so on to n terms into 10 plus 100 plus 1000 plus to n terms minus 5 upon 9 into 1 plus 1 plus 1 n terms. So this is further equal to 5 upon 9 into 10 plus 10 square plus up to n terms minus 5 upon 9 into n. Now as we can see this is a GP series and for a GP series A AR AR square to n terms sum of these n terms is given by A where A is the first term into r raised to the power n minus 1 upon r minus 1 where r is the common ratio. So apply this formula on this GP series we have 5 upon 9 into A is 10 r is 10 square upon 10 again 10 so 10 raised to the power n minus 1 upon 10 minus 1 minus 5 upon 9 into n which is equally equal to 5 upon 9 into 1 upon 9 into 10 into 10 raised to the power n minus 1 minus 5 upon 9 into n. This can further be written as 50 upon 80 minus 10 raised to the power n minus 1 minus 5n upon 9. That is the answer is the sum of the given series is 50 upon 80 minus 10 raised to the power n minus 1 minus 5n upon 9. This completes the session. Take care and have a good day.


The signal oil program The Whistler Whistle is your signal for the signal oil program The Whistler I'm the Whistler and I know many things for I walk by night I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows Yeah, I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak Yes friends, it's time for the signal oil program The Whistler Rated by independent research the most popular West Coast program in radio history and Signal gasoline is tops two tops in quality It takes extra quality, you know to give you extra mileage and signal is the famous go farther gasoline So look for the signal circle sign in yellow and black that identifies friendly dealer owned signal service stations from Canada to Mexico And now the Whistler strange story Juggernaut Hampton crossing is quiet now and the solid respectable people who live there are going about their business With the same easy pace as before But to many of them it will never be quite the same again Yes, the people of Hampton crossing will tell you they made a mistake not long ago a terrible mistake There was mob violence and death and the men and women who were part of it still went inwardly as they passed the place where it happened They can still see the flaming torches the assault wave surging up the steps of the Hall of Justice on Park Street They can still hear the cries for blood There was a mob killing that night in Hampton crossing, but there will never be another The mob was a juggernaut and neither the sheriff nor anyone else could have stopped them They had to stop themselves and they did in a very unusual way But more unusual still was the thing that caused it all 10 days lay between that terrible night at the courthouse and its beginnings in the library of Henry Ellaby's big house on the hill Josh Ellaby sat across the desk from his brother listening the green shaded lamp between them making a caricature of Henry's face as he talked Well, Josh We both been a part of Hampton crossing for a long time haven't we 20 years 22 to be exact that we both come a long way Josh I've come to love this town and the folks who live here I've given most of them good jobs in my mill provided a good living for them put their kids through school They can care of them when they were sick, of course Henry Is that why you asked me to come here to tell me I think it's time for a little self-analysis Josh Time to stand off of ways and look at each other Yep, I've done a lot for the people here But I think you've done even more in a way why I I don't know Yes, I feed their bodies put clothes on their backs, but you own their hearts Why I tried to be good to them you've done better than that They have an immense faith in you Josh. I had faith in you too. That's why I've let you handle my affairs You could have at least been honest with me Josh I have some respect for an out-and-out crook who has the guts to play the part to the hilt. I Was afraid that's why you asked me to come here. I didn't have the figures right in front of me I'd never believed it myself. Well, Henry, what do you plan to do about it? You're through is up tomorrow morning both as my manager and my ex-executor Furthermore, I'll give you one week to produce the money you've embezzled from me Otherwise, I'm taking it up with the sheriff's office Is that clear enough not quite? The money isn't the real reason is it Henry. It's pretty real to me $40,000. Oh, you're jealous of me because this town the people in it loved me They're mine because I've succeeded where you failed What are you talking about because of that faith you talked about that's what you want to destroy Henry The money is nothing to you. You want to destroy the people's faith in me. Isn't that true?  I'm not going to let you where did you get that gun? Does that matter now?  My daughter kid if anything happens to me you'll have to account to her every penny if she marries Henry Don't forget that the money is mine until she marries Put that gun down. You'll be found out.  Never mind kid the people down there need me. They've got to have someone to lean on I won't let you kill their confidence in me Josh I'm sorry Henry But the people here believe in me It must always be that way With the prologue of juggernaut the signal oil company is bringing you another strange story by the Whistler If you've stopped to the signal service station recently You probably noticed a poster picturing a tire a battery a fan belt radiator hose windshield wiper blade and other accessories Well, this is to remind you that in addition to being headquarters for signals famous go-father gasoline and signal premium motor oil Your signal dealer also features a wide selection of automotive accessories most of which he's prepared to install for you while you wait and Every item is a finest recognized quality that your signal dealer is proud to stand back up With tires for instance or Lee's famous Lees of concha Hawkins for 45 years the finest of first-run tires His batteries are built to signals own rigid specifications for trouble-free service in long life And your signal dealer's polishes radiator cleaner leak sealer and other automotive accessories are nationally advertised brand So to ready your car for summer trips stop by your signal service station this week for a checkover of These little items that can make such a big difference in driving pleasure It's part of your signal dealer's complete service to help your car run better look better and last longer And now back to the Whistler It's strange isn't it Josh this feeling you have about the people of Hampton crossing The merchants and farmers and housewives the children who tag along after you on the street calling you uncle Josh and Stranger still is the feeling they have for you the faith almost the reverence that your brother Henry only half understood You knew the showdown was coming last night when he summons you to his home on the hill So you came prepared to kill him But you knew too that it wouldn't end there that the marriage of his daughter kit to young Eddie Watkins would force another showdown If it ever took place So Eddie was part of your plan too The next morning only five minutes after the first call from the sheriff Eddie Watkins comes to your office over hides grocery on Park Street Like the rest of them when troubles strike He's come to you for advice. I want you to know uncle Josh I didn't want to bother you at a time like this of course But kitten I have no one else to turn to she believes me uncle Josh She knows I had nothing to do with it. Eddie. Why do you feel you're under suspicion? You know how your brother felt about me how he thought I was taking kid away from him the whole town knew we didn't get along No, but after all that doesn't mean right before last we had the worst quarrel of all. I Said some things I didn't mean Well, you know how the town is yes, they're very impetuous sometimes they do things without thinking If I only had some time the sheriff wants me to report to him right away. Yes Well, I suppose that's what you'll have to do Eddie go down there and face it out It's too bad Why we all love my brother very much I'm so afraid in the heat of the moment the people the sheriff too are liable to do things They'll be sorry for later. Wait a minute. You mean I know this town Eddie anything can happen Lord if I only had Couple of days to talk to them reason with them well, I I Haven't been summoned officially. I got it the sheriff has asked you to see him. So That's that I'll do all I can Eddie, but you know what a handicap I'll have You need a couple of days, huh? What's out of the question I guess well, I I Guess I'll have to make my own decision about how soon I report to the sheriff Yes, Eddie There are some things we have to decide for ourselves Eddie what kids why Sheriff I can't believe I didn't say he's guilty Josh All we know is he's the only one who might have had a motive but just because Eddie quarreled with my brother He did have a quarrel in Henry was opposed to his marrying kid But that doesn't mean Eddie would it may be not but the smart thing for young Eddie to do is to show up here and start explaining That's what I can't understand. What do you mean, Sheriff? I sent for him three hours ago. Why isn't he here? You mean you think Eddie would run away You just gave me an idea You must get hold of yourself They say any killed father uncle Josh They say we're trying to run away when they picked him up at the station. It's going to be all right They have no evidence dear. Don't you see but father was killed with Eddie's gun with Eddie's gun How could they possibly know that? Oh, I don't understand it, but the sheriff says they examined the bullet Very unusual size an Italian pistol Eddie brought back from overseas, but what does Eddie say to that? He says the gun was stolen last week They don't believe Okay, dear you'd better try and rest now. I'm going down to see the sheriff Listen to me. Yeah, you listen to me. I know how you feel Josh I know what Henry meant to you but don't you see sheriff and I know you're too kind hearted to believe Eddie Watkins or anybody else could have killed him But the point is somebody did Eddie's young impetuous madly involved Anyone else in that frame of mind could commit murder, but not Eddie You're right Well, I don't think he did it either We searched everywhere for his gun and we can't locate it. Well, that's wonderful sheriff What are you going to do hold him till the first of the week and then release him release him That's what you generally do when you haven't got a case At least I'm happy for kids if anything happened to Eddie. I don't believe she'd ever get over it. Yes, of course And I I'd better be going now Yes, well you you can tell kid about it. I will I'm taking her to Henry's funeral in an hour I'll tell her the Good news It was hard not to show the shocked surprise you felt when the sheriff told you there was no case against Eddie Wasn't it Josh? You'd planned that part so carefully throwing Eddie's gun into the river knowing the unusual size of the bullet would trap it You curse yourself as you stand at kids side of the church with a whole town gathered round to share your grief and Later at the cemetery you listen with bowed head and moist eyes as the minister commits poor Henry Under the earth from whence he came He's gone to his reward You raise your head when it's over with a silent glance of appreciation at each group of morning friends Your mind still searching for the answer to Eddie Watkins and the missing gun It's after you've shown kit to the waiting car that the answer comes Yes, you were right Josh They're your people and the sorrow you display is there sorrow You feel it on every side now as the car moves off as you turn to a couple of the men moving up to express their sympathy We're awfully sorry Josh. It's a terrible thing terrible. Thank you Dave Frank for coming out here leaving the bank No store I was a little to do old towns closed up today. It's uh, it's almost like something that happened to you Josh Thank them all for me. Will you I'm not quite up to it myself. They understand Josh. No and Tell them not to be too bitter about Eddie Watkins. You can't change that. I mean in view of the fact that he's going to be Release released. We haven't heard anything about that sheriff knows what he's doing We must put our faith in him. What now he knows that he's guilty that he's murdered your brother. Everybody knows it What kind of justice is this? Don't talk violence You know how I feel about those things, but he's right Josh a boy took a life. He's got a pay. I've seen it in other towns bloodshed an eye for an eye Linking some time. That's the only answer. No Dave No one Can ask the people to take the law into their own hands, but Josh even if Eddie is guilty If the law says he goes free That is what we must accept And now if you'll excuse me, I must be going Kit needs me By just free That young murderer going free Hmm Josh won't even lift a hand against him. Maybe it's up to Josh's friends to lift the hand Yeah, Josh glad to serve you you never been in my place before no Tom I haven't it well, so it gives me a strange feeling seeing you take a drink First one in 22 years, huh longer than that You must feel pretty bad Tom I figure the best thing is To go away Maybe find some other place to live.

Well, there'd be a meeting Ellie on the outside of town The men folks mostly There'd be speeches and angry words quick action I'm just I can see it building like a juggernaut.

Good luck It's all over now isn't it Josh your scheme is all but complete You can't lose with the mob on the front steps of the courthouse The rifleman waiting for Eddie Watkins at the east wing and one more thing will make it perfect Josh The son of a battering ram against the big front door tells you there's no going out that way So you walk down the deserted west corridor of the building toward the third exit? Yes, you want to be out there now among your friends pleading with them at the top of your lungs Shouting at them to stop at the exact moment Eddie Watkins is slipping out that east wing door to certain death You reach the west door open it cautious Peer out into the darkness The Whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending of tonight's story Meantime a word of wisdom to mr. Average driver You spend about a hundred dollars a year for gasoline. That's a lot of money You'd like to be sure it's buying the gasoline that stops in quality the gasoline that gives you top performance from your car Well, you can be sure if you'll just keep two points in mind when you buy gasoline one it takes extra quality to go farther and Two signal is the famous go farther gasoline After all the only way any gasoline can put more thrilling performance into your car is by helping your motor run more efficiently and When your motor runs more efficiently naturally you get better mileage So there you have it in a nutshell the reason why signals good mileage is so important to you and The reason signal says to be sure of the tops in gasoline quality. There are just two things to remember one it takes extra quality to go farther and Two signal is the famous go farther gasoline and now back to the Whistler Yes, there was mob violence that night in Hampton crossing a night. No one who thought will ever forget It's still there burning in the back of their minds like the torches in the hands of the mob that stormed the Hall of Justice No one was ever brought to trial Because in the eyes of the law the whole town was guilty Not just the two riflemen who waited in the shadows near the rear of the courthouse The whole wing of the building stock you're sure you'll come out there. Hey, you heard what Josh said, didn't you? No, I'm still not sure what if you wait a minute wait a minute, huh?  I can't quite make you my foot. Oh still There he is That takes care of Eddie Watkins nice work fellas.  All right There you go, Eddie Good Lord. What have we done? Yes, Bill Bill. He told us the truth. What do you mean?  Yes, we we figured he'd do anything to save that boy We were sure that this time for once in his life. Josh Laby would tell a lie You'd better get back up to Eddie kids. He needs you I still can't believe it. Uncle Josh betrayed us. He told him the plan. He he could only have had one reason I know Was Uncle Josh who killed my father wasn't it? Yeah, but we're the only ones who know that kid and we're the only ones who ever know What happens now? Nothing. He died a martyr kid. He's gonna stay one To see as long as the people of this town can keep on believing in Josh Laby and remember what they did to him There'll never be another mob killing in Hampton crossing Let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program the whistler each Monday at this same time brought to you by the signal oil company marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil and fine quality automotive accessories Signal has asked me to remind you to get the most driving pleasure drive its sensible speeds be courteous and obey traffic regulations It may save a life possibly your own Featured in tonight's story was Herb Butterfield The Whistler was produced by George W.

Before Elon Musk bought Twitter, he claimed that his support for free speech was unequivocal and that he even wanted his worst critics to remain on the platform once he took it over. Remember that? Yeah, I do too. Fast forward to today, however, and his actions have thoroughly proven that that is indeed not the case since LGBTQ inclusive language is now seemingly being censored across the entire platform and nobody really knows why. As Pink News reports, on Saturday, April 1st, Twitter users and LGBTQ plus activists spotted that tweets shared by direct message no longer show a tweet preview if they include certain words. Sharing a tweet via DM should automatically bring up a preview of the tweet's contents, but now users are seeing just a plain link if the tweet contains the word trans, lgbt, lgbt plus, or BLM for Black Lives Matter. More concerningly, tweets that feature terms that are widely regarded as slurs by the lgbtq plus community, including trans identified and tslur preview as normal. As do tweets mentioning the trans exclusionary term lgb. The concern around censorship in Twitter DMs is echoed by the UK based Trans Safety Network, which reported that preliminary testing indicates that the platform is quote deboosting tweets containing words. They include the words trans, gay, lesbian, queer, and bisexual. Now I for one have actually experienced this too, so a lot of people will DM me lgbtq plus news articles that they want me to cover, and I can confirm after looking at their direct messages I am not seeing tweet previews in my DMs. Just the link. Now I can't speak personally to deboosting, but there is evidence that this is happening. But that's just the tip of the iceberg apparently because the trans safety network who conducted this analysis as mentioned by the article also discovered the following quote. We also believe that the word sex is banned, including any reference to sexuality, which is why bisexual without the pound sign also got caught in our initial tweet. We can also confirm that whilst any reference to sex triggers this filter, the word fslur does not. Our testing suggests this does not capture all words, which contains sex, sex 10 is fine, but intersex is not. Heterosexual is also fine, but homosexual is not.  Although they say in an important update, we have just found that the filter blocked the initialism GC without punctuation marks short for gender critical is also blocked. The full phrase and acronym TERF are not. Also gender identity is banned, gender ideology is not. So this is pretty brazen. It appears as if they are deliberately targeting specific queer terms, but they are excluding slurs and right wing dog whistles like gender ideology, which is extremely suspicious to say the least. Now it's entirely possible that this change was not made for nefarious reasons. Pink News continues, while this could simply be a Twitter glitch, it is perhaps unsurprising that LGBTQ plus users are concerned as under the tenure of the platform's owner Elon Musk, posts mentioning the anti-LGBTQ plus groomer narrative have soared by 119%. In February, researchers from the Center for Countering Digital Hate found that Twitter is on track to make up to $19 million a year from ads on just 10 vitriolic anti-LGBTQ plus accounts reinstated by Elon Musk since he announced his general amnesty policy.  And we just, we don't know why this is happening. There's no explanation for it, but it is indeed happening that's been proven. And queer people are now the deliberate targets of Twitter censorship. This is a new phenomenon, it hasn't happened before. But this change comes with other bizarre changes on Twitter. Now we can't tell which verified users pay for Twitter blue or legacy verified users because clicking on a check mark now just says this account is verified because it's subscribed to Twitter blue or is a legacy verified account. And now most verified legacy users are seeing this, although for some reason when I checked mine, it says that I'm verified because my account is quote notable in government news entertainment or another designated category. So at least at this point in time, people won't suspect that I'm a motherfucker who pays for Twitter, but the goal seemingly is to make Twitter blue users indistinguishable from legacy verified users. So we stopped making fun of them for paying for Twitter, although that change hasn't affected all of us because again, my check mark doesn't say that. I just, I thought that all check marks were going to go the way of the dodo on April 1st. Turns out that didn't happen. And the one account that lost their verification that we know of is the New York Times because they said that they weren't going to pay. But apparently it's very difficult to just remove all check marks. And you have to kind of do this manually one by one. This is the reports, I can't verify that I'm not an engineer. So this is why perhaps it hasn't happened. But this change doesn't affect all of us. One change that has affected all of us is that the Twitter logo has now been replaced as of Monday with the Dogecoin logo, which comes as Musk tries to get his $258 billion Dogecoin lawsuit dismissed where investors are suing him for his alleged involvement in a pyramid scheme meant to boost the value of Dogecoin. So I guess he made this change to rally the troops. I don't know. This is another change that nobody asked for. But unlike other changes, simply replacing the Twitter logo with a crypto coin based on an ancient meme is probably the least offensive change that Elon Musk has made to the platform since taking it over. So I'm not necessarily bothered by this, although aesthetically it's not that pleasing but I can live with it. But when it comes to him claiming that he was going to liberate the platform from the previous owners who were sensorious tyrants, well, he has failed categorically in that regard because free speech has not thrived on the platform since Elon Musk took it over and nobody who's been paying attention is surprised by that. But one thing that will continue to not surprise any of us who've been on the platform for years is more dumb changes that are instituted for seemingly no reason.  That can actually do real harm. But again, we can't prove nefarious intent, but we can prove that it's happening. So regardless of why it happened, it needs to be fixed. But when all of the engineers are gone and there's nobody to report these issues and when Elon Musk is seemingly in agreement with this change, if not the one who green-lighted it, we all know that there's really nothing that can be done about this. So hate will continue to proliferate on the platform and marginalized voices will continue to get drowned out because this is the new status quo with Elon Musk. It's just going to continue to circle the drain until hopefully it gets so bad that Elon Musk sells Twitter to someone else who's at least a little bit more competent. But who knows? So for now, we'll just have to wait and see, but I'll continue to report on this. As for now, LGBTQ plus people are being censored on Elon Musk's free speech platform. Bada! Bada! Bada! Bada! Bada! Bada!
