This is the SF Productions podcast network. This is the 10th, this is the 3rd, that Darren Pramila Ferdin. Welcome to the place your parents didn't understand. The world of 60s and 70s television. Welcome to Vast Wasteland. Welcome home. And welcome to Vast Wasteland, the video journal of popular culture. I'm Mark Smibauer along with Wilbert Neal and Marty Wiley. Well, tonight we're going to talk about the history of cable TV. As we know it. As we know it. That's right. That's right. How did that happen? We're all together again. It's been so darn long. Seems like forever. But we're all back again. And here to tell you that we're on Tuesdays at 6. Maybe. Maybe. But probably not. But there's a pretty good guarantee. At least a 90% chance that we'll be on Wednesdays at 10. And I'd say almost a fair. Almost. It's a pretty sure shot of Thursdays at 3 p.m. And maybe on Saturday, whenever the engineers want to show us. So, but the Wednesday and Thursday are probably your best bet. And let's right now you're watching on Tuesday. Screws everything up. And then. Just want to tell you if you want to write into us or write in ACTV and say, What the heck is the deal? When are you going to start getting a regular schedule? That girl have any shoes? You want to write into box 151411 Columbus, Ohio 43215. And there it is. That's right. So. Let's see. The history of cable TV. Well, I'd say, well, you got to look at the beginning. Why, why you have cable TV in the first place or why it started actually started in eastern Pennsylvania where people live between valleys of like the Appalachians and couldn't get any TV. And actually this, I think that's like the first system was this guy wanted to sell TVs in that town and nobody would buy him because nobody could pick up anything. So he said, well, I'll take an intent up to the top of that mountain over there and run a cable down and I'll run a cable to everybody's house. And that was like part that was like when you bought the TV from the guy that was like built into the price. And that's right. Oh, yeah. And what a monopoly. He was the only TV dealer in town. That's right. So, um, that was the beginning of the cable TV and basically put. Was that part of the Turner family? No, no. And basically that's how things. His name was Mr. Haney. Yeah. Hey there, Mr. Douglas. Well, let's see. So that was basically how cable for the most part was for about 20 years or so. It was people couldn't get good reception and would pay for to get local channels and close to local as they could get. Right. Yeah. You might get like a, like maybe a channel from a nearby city, but that was about it. Pixley. Pixley. You pick up the pixley stage and W, PXL, I think. That's a pixel. I think I come from one of the last places in the world to get cable because it just really wasn't necessary. Well, yeah. It's like a valley of television. If you're in the middle of it, yeah, nobody bought cable then. Yeah. Please, Cincinnati and Dayton. Right. You've got every channel up and down the dial practically. So I think it's, I don't think they've had cable a very long time where my parents still live there. And gee, I think maybe they've only had cable maybe five or six years. Right. Hardly anybody bought cable back then because it, you know, unless you're out in the middle of nowhere, basically. Back in the latter part of the 60s, I had some friends that lived in Mansfield. And we'd go there on weekends or so to visit. And one time we're there, stalking in there saying, ooh, let's watch TV. We've got the cable. And I was like, okay. There was only one company back then. The cable. They were just called TAC. The TAC cable. The cable. TCC, the cable company.  We've got the cable. So I just didn't know what to expect. What did they have on the cable? Well, it was pretty much the same to me. They always had different shows there. So it just seemed to be the same different shows, but they were all proud because they had the cable. Got an exception. And I said, well, we've got a TV. We've got the antenna. That difference. But that was true after they got the cable. They didn't have their big, you know, the big aerial global antenna thing. Oh, antenna used to be so wild. You could get, you know, if you like had some bucks, you could get like an antenna that you have this thing on top of your TV so you could adjust where your antenna was picking up from. I mean, that's if you had a real hot antenna. Oh, my dad had one of those. And then you could pick up Indianapolis. You could keep playing with that.  You'd hear this. The predecessor to our satellite. That's right. The great big motorized antenna. That's right. I always expect to hear those theremin sounds. You just had a regular antenna. A couple of times a year you had to climb up on the roof and readjust it because the wind had blown it out. And that's just something I think was very common when we were growing up with every house had an antenna. And now the antenna blows down. Nobody cares because nobody uses it. Everyone says this is a cable. You've got the cable. Personally, you know, you'd have your rabbit ears and they would break and you'd had to get the foil. And the unwire the hanger. And then you had to twist it. Spin it into like a bowling ball shape or something. And the more bends you had in it, it seemed like the better. You'd turn it just so. And you had that funny round antenna for the UH antenna. It never really worked. It was like something they gave you to screw on the back of your TV so it looked like you'd be getting UH antenna. You know it would fold down, you'd fold it up. Expect to have just be a button on your remote control. You'd push the button that thing would fold out and then you'd do it. Oh, we didn't have remote control. That's true. There were no remote controls back then.  That's why people were healthier. That's right. The first remote controls were like... They had cords. They were like, well, even the wireless ones, there were five buttons on it. It was like on and off and there was a button, it was like volume up and volume down and channel up and channel down. And you'd change channels and it would still be the mechanical system. So it would be like... It was a huge feeling of power, though, as you're making this sound just from this little device. And they actually turned the knob to... Oh, yeah. The knob actually turned. Do you know there are children now in my house that don't know how...  They had no idea how you got a different channel. That's right. I mean, where was the remote? Where was the button? Where was something to push? I had to go in and teach them to change the channel. It was like, what's wrong with you? Let's not forget the UHF channel changer. Oh! Oh, that one is still working on it. That just seemed like a... We should get it in one channel and leave it. You had the little... You had the thing and you had to keep turning that knob. It'd make about 50... 50, 50... 50 revolutions before it would even turn from one channel to the next. It didn't feel like you were really just fine tuning in. Oh, yeah. Right there. Oh! I got that obscure station from some hometown. You know, after we... I'm almost embarrassed to say this, but after we got our first color television, it was like we were used to the three channels, the three major, the ABC, the CBS, the NBC, and we got this other knob on there now, so we turned it and, you know, it's like UHF. And then we turned this and it was like, oh, we're almost getting it. We're almost getting it. We were so excited. We were almost getting some other channel. And my godmother came over and said, oh, what are you doing? Well, we could almost get it. And I said, channel 34! And I went back. We got the new AC. No, no, no. It was about a month or so. You know, trying to turn that thing. He needs a little fuzzy. Oh, we're almost getting it. There's snow and everything. And then she's... Oh! Okay, but see, this is a concept too that some kids that I know in my house could not grasp that we have black and white TV. Right.  It was in black and white. There was a world vote. We better go to color. I mean, gosh, it was like, yeah, I voted for it. But it was like... It was like the Wizard of Oz idea so well. It was black and white. It was black and white. We used to watch the beginning. Some people around the block had a big color TV. Who was it, Ross? We would watch the first part at my house and then we would run around the block and go to their house to see the color part. Ha ha ha ha! Don't ask me why it became a tradition. You just like, grab the popcorn and run over to the Neelys. There was also the phony color thing. The plastic thing. The rainbow thing. See, we had the huge admiral. Ah, admiral! Huge!  It would take like five minutes to really warm up till the colors were even closed. I remember the color TVs having to warm up. It would be like, it would be kind of green and then it would kind of fade over into red. Oh, there we go! I don't remember that. It's like, oh, I'm going to watch a show in about five minutes. I better turn on the TV and let it warm up for a while. Turn on what secret agent, man, until Get Smart comes around. I know it was the early 70s when my family got a color TV. That's right.  It was like so amazing. Look, we have a color TV in our house. My dad has always been into gadgets. My dad's always been into gadgets and so he was one of the first people in town, I think, to get cable. We got cable, like, in 77, I think. And at the time it was really funny that we actually went for I think it was called Star Channel back then. It's now the movie channel. Star Channel? And at that time, this was like, they just started. They just started doing the movie channel concept and it's like, today we're going to show this movie over and over again. Tomorrow we're going to show another movie. Who's called the Movie Channel? And they meant it. I didn't think I saw cable until it was like 79 or so and I happened to be at a party at someone's place in, I think it was Middletown, Ohio. And the first thing I saw was the Omen. And I didn't really realize that they had cable because it was really new. They're really, really new. And it's like, we start watching this movie and it's like, I'm going, Where's the commercial go? Come on. I was like, where's the commercial go? Where's that? And that's when they explained to me, oh, this is cable. Ooh. Oh, cable. Oh, that's something I really had to get used to because when I moved up here, it was like 80 and cable was so common here. Well, because of Dark Cube. We should go into this Dark Cube thing. A lot of people who've lived in Columbus for a while will remember Cube. And a lot of people, in fact, still call Warner Cable Cube. Warner Cable brought in this, right, brought in this. They don't want to cut us off again. That's right. They had this great concept of interactive cable. It was pretty much way ahead of its time to the point that it was just a silly concept at the time. It was like a wired remote, which many of you people if you have the old-ware cable still have, you wonder why you have a wired remote and everybody else has the new wireless one, Cube. They're still trying to get their money back from the whole Cube thing. I just always had the idea that I lived in a non-Cube area but I had the idea that Cube was so they could monitor what you were seeing and what you were watching. And I said, well, I don't want that. There were also shows where you could, like, vote. I don't want nobody to know that I'm watching the Playboy channel. In fact, it was just a big fiasco. But, ironically, what came out of it, because they were desperate for original material was that people developed new forms of entertainment which went on actually to become depending on who you talk to went on to become MTV and Nickelodeon and CNN. I mean, it's like... I remember when Nickelodeon started at 7 or 8 in the morning and went off at 8 o'clock at night and then the channel was arts and entertainment. Well, it was probably arts back then. Back when it was arts. In the arts channel. Which CBS owned and then it went out of business and then they sold it off to the other people, the entertainment channel or something like that. It became arts and entertainment. How do you know about when Cube finally went out of... He stepped out of the... 1984. Oh, that was the last name. Death of Cube. How about when Cube finally died out? 1984. The most... I think the most... The channel that really struck me the most when I first got up here and got to watching cable was TBS. Ted Turner and he had some really good shows that he was doing himself with Bill Tush. Right. I remember those. And the whole... TBS was really a new station. Well, that was back when they were WTBS. WTBS. And then Ted Turner had bought the rights to Braves games. He was cable and cable wasn't cool. Right. And he said, well, I can start other outlets want to get this all. I'll slap it up on a satellite and anybody can pull it down and pay me royalties or whatever. And of course it became the first Super Station. Which now according to the new rules that I won't get into because it's too complicated. Basically, you're never going to see any more Super Stations pop up. Because actually, I mean, it's rerun Heaven. Right. You got TBS, you got WOR out of New York. You got WGN out of Chicago. And you've got a channel, I think, out of San Francisco that nobody on like, east of the Mississippi yet. I don't think. We basically don't get anything for a lot of money. No, actually, we just get TBS. What happened was basically a channel like WOR was certain to charge a lot more money and they said, no, we don't need you. I liked WOR when I had WOR. And I got to watch that. We were participating Cobb L.A. Scream dealer. It's Fuzzy the Whale. Yeah, Fuzzy the Whale. We got to watch Morton Downey before he went syndicated. And the show was really pretty wild there. And it was another show. Oh, it was a show he was watching the afternoon. It was a talk show. It was a thrill. It was a good little talk show. Can't find it no more. Oh, you remember that guy? No, no, no. But it was a good show. We also had... Sometimes I've had Ms. Molly on there from wrong room. I also had the two channels that collectively I like to call the Nazi channel because they... Discovery and on Arts and Entertainment because 24 hours a day one or the other or both channels have a World War II documentary on it. They're getting better, Mark. I'm taking a history series off of Discovery about the American and Native Americans. They're both fine channels, but they show at least they used to way too many World War II documentaries. It's like, okay, get your World War II documentary fix. In Columbus here, Cable kind of went... On the east side, they always seem to have their coax over there on the east side. Coax of all east side. The north was... Well, it kind of went around north and over on northwest, north and northwest, you had Cube up around here. And south, they had... All America. Central. In central Columbus, well, I live in like the upper, lower, middle, east, northeast side. You'll never find us out now. There was no cable. There was no cable in our area until the late 70s, early 80s. The late 70s. We have some dial phones, too. We still got the rotary phones. There is no touchstone. We just sit outside in the summer and we can watch stage brush rolling. That's a true story. But we just did not have cable and I would always look at a TV guy back in the middle of the early 70s. I would always have a TV guy in person and I'd look in there and I'd go, ooh, home box office. A new thing. I hope everybody will get it and not just those people with cable. And then sure enough it would show up cable. I was flipping, you know. Home box office. And then it got short HBO. And also, my girlfriend at the time got HBO. I was out of the country and came back and they had cable. This is amazing. They had to wait until he left to get cable. They had to wait until I was done. They would bring in all the equipment and they would sit up and we'd watch it, see movies. It was great.  Home box office is now shutting down for the evening. And then it would go off. And it was like, oh, ow, it must be, it was like, you know, when you used to hear the da-da-da-da-da. And then it would go off. I was in there like on Friday nights I would have all these wild shows on. And gosh, I can't even remember what it was like. National Lampoon had a show on. I can't remember what it was called, but it was a National Lampoon show. And that would be on. Well, Pee-wee, the Pee-wee's... Pee-wee was on HBO. It was the Pee-wee Herman special. It wasn't called Pee-wee's play house, but it was like Pee-wee's fun time or something like that. And it was his nightclub. It was a wild thing back then. It was just wild. And there's... I know when I lived on the northeast end I had a playboy channel. But I actually didn't just show filthy movies. I had a really good news show. And they came on at like eight or nine o'clock in the evening. And, you know, like my kids were already in bed. My kids were very little then. And they were already away in bed. One night I like slipped it on because the news, according to Playboy, was coming on. And my little one creeped up the steps from his room. And they just kind of opened the channel with a montage of boobs, you know. And I remember hearing this little boy saying, Oh! Well, now I think they made that a... At least Warner made that for a pay-for-view deal or something. Oh, is that what Playboy channel is? Yeah, I think that's how they did it over, at least on the New Warner. You know, isn't that whole thing... Isn't that just like... I don't know, it's like... Well, I won't say beating a dead horse, but overfeeding a live one or something. Okay, well, what do you got? You got to pay or you get a TV or you get a new TV. Well, we've got to pay for that. Okay, okay, okay. Well, we've got to get cable, okay. Well, we've got to pay for that. You want extra channels, okay. We got your movie channels and things like that. You got the basic thing. You got your movie channels. Pay-for-view. Another level. So, if you want to watch something extra special or extra new or something does happen... If you want to see something a month before it goes on your HBO or your cinema... Right. You want to watch it a month before anybody else can pay extra money to see it. You don't want to go to the theater. Sometimes you go to the dollar theater and see it. Oh, it's showing the pay-for-view. It's a cheaper money. We're just paying that much more. We want to go to that whole Olympic triple cast thing. What a fiasco that was. That was a money-making for somebody. I don't think the concept was... I don't think the concept was... The concept was we'll make more money. I hate to tell the cable industry, but sports pay-for-view is just never going to work because people are like, oh, just go to the bar and see it. Yeah. The bar can afford to pay for it. Yeah, for real. It's not going to happen. I think the bar did that because there were so many people that didn't want to pay for it. They said, hey, this is out there. We can pay for it. They're buying drinks. They'll pay for it. They'll be almost free for us. We'll just sit back and rake it in. They'll be able to watch it and that's it. I've never gotten any pay-for-view and I don't think I ever really will unless they have something that's absolutely, like, you know, I don't know. The second coming or something. The second coming. I'll pay for it. God told us. We have to do the right. That's about as religious as we're going to get out here. That's right. Well, basically now in the industry, you've got three titans of the cable industry. You've got, of course, Turner. You've got HBO and you've got Viacom. And Turner's got CNN and TNT and Cartoon Channel and CNN Headline News and Meanwhile, HBO's got HBO one, two and three and Cinemax is one and two and half a Comedy Central. Last night, I actually got a call from some survey company working for Warner and they said in your area would you be aware that there's like these HBO one and two and I'm like, yes, I'm very aware of it, I don't have it. Well, do you think it would enhance your cable system to have it? I'm like, you mean I could have this other channel paying the same money that I pay for one? Yeah, I think it would enhance something. Yeah, it would enhance quite a bit. Well, this made me feel like I've got something here. So, yeah, this would kind of be like a, you know, be a value. Of course, it would be a lot better to get to Cartoon Channel. It would be a science fiction channel. Science fiction channel would be wonderful. I've heard some stuff about science fiction channel and everything I've heard is not good. Oh, that's too bad. A lot of people, I knew some people who were huge science fiction fans and were like, oh boy! It's like, this isn't that good. Well, I wish I had had the chance to find out for myself if it's not good or not. That's true. Well, basically, we're now seeing everything going from, you know, I think the broadcast networks are just basically going to slowly fade out away. They're already starting to do that and you're going to see more narrow casting. Narrow casting. Broadcasting? Narrow casting. Narrow casting. That's one of the reasons why I think why public access, of course, you've probably been hearing that... Which is not narrow-minded casting. No. You've probably been hearing that personally, I don't think it is, because there's going to be so many channels out there that they're going to have to fill them up with something. Oh, we'll take that public access stuff. We'll take the public access stuff. We've got 800 channels to fill up. What are we going to do? You know, we're only going to have two of these. The antique channel, or, you know... They were going to learn anything. Popeye cartoon channel. That's it. Just Popeye. 21 hours a day. Oh, Popeye. All the time. It's pretty scary. You know, personally, though, I think the future of TV came with TV. Interactive. Oh, where's the MZ? A rhino! No. Anyway, that's about all for Fast Wasteland for this time. And next time... We can talk about this again. But next time, the episode is... Was Paul in another band before Wings? We'll find out next time. Fast Wasteland. We'll see you next time. Good on, everybody! Welcome. Thank you.


John Moore first fought terrorism in 1967. He's still fighting it today. Walking patrol of Vietnam at night alone. He searched for terrorist booby traps. He searched for terrorist bombs in his Jeep and saw what happened to those and didn't find them. John flew 57 combat missions over in Vietnam, many of those being hit by enemy gunfire. John went to join the Green Berets at Fort Bragg where he trained to invade the Middle East. Kind of prophetic, isn't it? He also did class-flight studies of Middle East terrorists for the Special Forces. He has special operations, covert operations, surveillance operations, bodyguard and executive. Four executives and stars like Charles Pesson, Jane Fonda, Ambassador Alakiz, he's a private investigator. He's a homicide detective. He was candidate for the United States Congress. He's a talk show host and author of a book on personal security. And John still finds time to be a father, a husband and a grandfather. And today, John will speak on topics of great concern to all Americans. And I give you, my friend, many years, ladies and gentlemen, John Moore. I want to put Dr. Work, the doctor if you can give everybody one of my business cards. Okay, sir. Wonderful. I usually give that assignment to a child, but I don't see any children in the audience. No children. He was an intelligence analyst in the U.S. Army. Anybody here read the book about IQ? Anybody? Second, the top two centiles get to be intelligence analysts. In fact, I had it sit at Hollywood for two months, waiting for them to drag enough Mark guys to have even have a class. And I'm in touch with a former intelligence analyst all over the country. Mark Karnke, everybody know Mark? He's a former intelligence analyst. J.R. Nyquist, another intelligence analyst. Once you understand the story of how important it is, I think you'll agree with me. I got a business card of a gentleman here. He didn't give me authority to use his name. I'm just going to redo his title. Homeland Security Regional Response System Coordinator. He's connected, to say the least. So let's start from the beginning. In the late spring of the year 2000, I was approached by two friends of mine, both researchers. They told me that in the future, John is going to be this event happening. It's going to involve violent climate change, rising ocean levels, other things. I listened to them patiently and they approached me separately. One didn't know the other was going to talk to me. And when they were finished, I said, thank you.  So I approached a friend of mine and he's connected to the lettered agencies, as we say. I told him the story. He told me I needed a tinfoil hat. But he said, John, I'll check it out. I'll get back with you, I'll check it out. So about three weeks later, he comes back from the East Coast. And he says, John, it's exactly what you said it was. The government's known about this since 1979. They've been getting ready for it since 1979. Yes, it's as real as real can be. I said, thank you. That's when I began my research. Things were going along pretty well. I was learning about reading a lot of books. I'm a reader. And I was learning a lot about matters of science. Now, when I was in high school, I was on the football field. I wasn't paying attention to science. I wasn't, I'm sorry. But I did learn some science. And I come to know that the government found out about this in 1979. And they needed a cover story. They're not about to tell all of you what's really going on. They need a cover story to convince you it'll be okay. The cover story is man-made global warming. And that's all it is, is a cover story. They knew one of the many effects that would be happening 30 years in the future would be the apparent warming of the Earth. One of the many. So they lashed onto that. Now it's kind of morphing into climate change. But they use that cover story for quite a while. Fast forward to the summer of 2005. I'm having lunch with a friend of mine. I've shorted with him in the 12th Special Forces Group. He was a dual service veteran. He also was a Navy SEAL. Navy SEAL spent a lot of time on submarine, in case you don't know. We have any submarine veterans here? When did you get out, sir? 96. 96, okay. Good. Anybody else in the other submarine? Okay. We're going to talk a little bit about your service a little bit here, and not too far off here. Anyway, we're having lunch up here by the airport. And I'm talking about what I'm learning in my research. And he starts telling me about a classified briefing he attended in 1985 put on by the U.S. Navy Submarine Corps.  Now, since then, and I don't know if I mentioned my bio or not, but I teach concealed carry classes. And I live 110 miles southwest of here, south of Steeleville. Because I live in the Ozarks, I've got to meet and debrief about two dozen of these Navy Submarine veterans at this point in time. They were students in my pistol class. So I'm talking to my friend and he's giving me the information he's got. One of the disadvantages of debriefing these Navy veterans, they were sitting in the folding chairs. They weren't scientists. They were told what would happen. They weren't told how it would happen. It took me a couple of years to figure it out, but I did figure it out. It was only two months later. I was invited to be a guest speaker at a college campus in Raleh to speak on terrorism. And little did I know there was going to be a co-speaker there, a retired intelligence officer. So we talked to the college students about terrorism. We go to a pizza place in Raleh. And we're sitting at a four-top table. I'm here. His wife's next to me. The intelligence officer's here. My friend in college professor's sitting here. And during the course of our conversation, I found out he does a three-year tour of duty with the Navy Submarine Corps. So I never met this man before in my life. I may never get to see him again. So I know I got to ask the question. Tell me what you know about rising ocean levels. Before he can speak up, his wife's sitting next to him. She says, John, we're stationed at the Pentagon. It's our last tour of duty. We're getting ready to retire. We had to pick a place to retire. We picked the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks because of rising ocean levels. Well, I knew I had them then. I immediately made an appointment to meet him the following week in Raleh at Steak and Shake. And he was the second guy, my friend was the first, to help recreate the map that they were showing these classified briefings of North America with new coastlines. Very scary new coastlines, I might add. Very scary. And as it would turn out, just a few weeks later, I have a pistol class. And at lunchtime, I always ask my students, if any of them are veterans, it turned out that one of them was a retired officer from the U.S. Navy Submarine Corps. I can mention his name now, Steve Canfield, because he's since died of cancer and way too many submarine veterans have cancer because of all the radiation they're exposed to. You probably know that, sir, don't you? His wife is from his widow now, from Long Island. And they moved to a little town called Viberna, Missouri, population 650. The third highest point in the state of Missouri. The highest point for an incorporated community in the state of Missouri. When it came time to retire, he was pointing at a map and he said to his wife, honey, that's where we're moving to. He said, what?  That's my definition of a mansion. It's got two stairways inside, it's a mansion. But they moved there. They bought the biggest house in town. Very nice place. So I meet at the main appointment with Steve to meet with him and have lunch the following week. He made the third and final revisions recreating the map that these veterans were shown at these classified briefings, showing North America with new coastlines. Steve has since died of cancer and so I can talk about his name now. Luckily, my friend, Tim Spencer, doesn't have a pension. All these other submarine veterans, they have a pension. They're not about to jeopardize their pension to share what they know in terms of classified information. They're not about to do that. That's not going to happen. Tim Spencer in his first tour of duty on a submarine, he shows up and he reports to the officer in charge of building along with two other guys. The officer in charge of building says, gentlemen, we don't have bunks for you. You're going to string up hammocks between the warheads of the Polaris nuclear weapons, missiles. Don't worry, no radiation. It's going to be fine. Well, it turned out eight hours a day, seven days a week, all three men were being radiated, ionizing radiation, almost lethal dose of radiation. He's got 100% disability. They can't take that away from him. Dan, would you hold up that DVD, please, Global Warming. That's command center, Dan Page, and thank you, Dan. Tim Spencer agreed to go public with me and I interviewed him on here about seeing the map when he was in New Orleans doing classified work. So he walks into this office. Everything on the floor is classified. He's a young sailor in his mid-20s. He sees this map with strange markings on the wall. There's a chief petty officer there and he says, chief, what is this? What does this mean? And the chief, you know, this guy is going to be his father. He's a young man. When you retire, you want to retire one of those white spaces. That's where you want to retire to. That was the Arkansas-Missouri Ozarks. And Tim Spencer said, yes, sir, you know, and went on about his business. Tim and his wife, Lori, lovely lighting. They were in one of my pistol classes and we're talking about this at lunch. And she says, John, I'm from Central Florida. I don't like leather. I don't like ice and snow. I like Missouri. I don't like leather because of that darn map. Interesting how Tim, I was at a fundraiser. We had a man charged with first-degree murder. Horrific, horrific case. In a lot of ways I'm not going to go into. A fundraiser put on by the western Cherokee Nation down in Salem, Missouri. So it's good food, live music. Everybody's enjoying themselves. I see this guy walking around with this official-looking ID badge. It said, Tim Spencer, I talked to the emergency preparedness western Cherokee Nation. So I introduced myself. The DVD that Dan held up, I just got it back from the duplicator that week. And I didn't know at the time he was a submarine voter. I just knew he was interested in this one. I handed him a copy of the DVD. I said, Tim, I'd like you to watch this and get back with me. He said, okay, I barely know this guy. He calls me up a week later and he says, John, I've seen your map before. I said, really? I've seen your map before. I was in New Orleans doing classified work and he told me the story about the map he saw. One of my listeners, and this is one of the things, Bruce, I love about being a talk show host. It's like having a private intelligence agency. Seriously, it is. You know that. You've been a talk show host. One of my listeners in Montana, he gets this DVD. He watches it. And this was 2009. He watched it. He calls me up and he says, John, I saw your map. I said, really? He says, yeah. It was 1979. I was a young sailor down in New Orleans and I got the job of setting up a briefing room for a group of admirals for a Saturday morning briefing. He says, John, admirals don't do Saturday morning briefings. He said, I set up the chairs, the lights, the sound system. There was this map on the wall. It made no sense whatsoever. He said, until I saw your DVD, I didn't have a clue these past 30 years what that map meant, because I was outside the locked doors when they had the classified briefing. So the admirals show up. These guys all went to Annapolis together. How's the wife? How's the kid? Challenge jokes. Slap on the back. Good Saturday morning. Time for a classified briefing. And they walk in the door. The doors are locked. They come out of the briefing. They all looked like their puppy dogs had died. They had just got one of the very first briefings. One of the very first. Now there was a time frame, the best I can tell, about six years from 79 to 85 when the enlisted men weren't getting access to this information. I've not found an enlisted man early in 85 that had access to this information. Now we have one submarine here. What's your first name, sir? Jim. Most of you may think the submarine corps is part of the U.S. Navy. Well, you're wrong. They got their own uniforms. They don't wear the uniforms of the service Navy. They don't talk with the service Navy. They don't even associate with them. Am I right, Jim? That's the way it is. You go in the submarine corps as a young sailor, or a young officer, you probably don't leave for the next 20 or 30 years, right? And they take care of their own. The lowest IQ, and I'm going to have this little bragging on Jim here. The lowest IQ allowed to be on a submarine is 120, and they go up from there. These are very bright men with very tight psychological testing.  You better have a very tight psychological profile. It's not optional, is it, Jim? Meeting these submarine veterans and debriefing them. The two skills I really have developed very well these past 41 years is finding witnesses and taking statements. I know how to take statements. Debriefing these submarine veterans has opened up everything I ever needed to know about this topic. At these briefings, they were told, gentlemen, the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks is one of their own safe havens for the following reasons. Altitude above sea level. Distance from major bodies of water. Low population density. A fairly mild, fairly short winter until this winter. And plenty of water. Not many minorities. No major cities. The largest city in the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks is Springfield, Missouri, a quarter million people. For all those reasons, the Arkansas and Missouri Ozarks has been designated one of the safe havens. Anybody ever hear my friend Vince Finnelli on Genesis Communications? One? Well, at least two. Okay. Vince is a friend. He refers to himself as a recovering banker. He has a few hundred acres and maybe a hundred head of cattle or so down there in Springfield. And he's pretty busy around town. He's a talk show host, kind of a political activist. He puts on the expos down there in Springfield, Lebanon area. So Vince moves in there into Springfield from the east coast. And he moved there because he thought it was a nice journey. I'll give you this information I'm putting out tonight. And being active in the community, he meets a lot of people, Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Commerce and various business associations. And he noticed he kept bumping into retired intelligence people. A lot of retired intelligence people. I didn't turn my phone off either. Far more than you would expect in any given community. Granted, in any given community, Springfield, Missouri is a quarter million people. Sure, you're going to bump into a retired intelligence person now and then, maybe. But not all the time. Not all the time. No. So he gets my DVD, the whole family watched it in death balance. And he calls me up and he says, John, now I know why I kept meeting all those retired intelligence people. They knew. They know. I used business card. I just read his title earlier. He was at one of my pistol classes. And at lunchtime, I'm talking about this. I didn't know. I didn't have his business card. I didn't know who he was at the time. So at lunchtime, I'm talking about these matters at my pistol class. And he smiles and nods his head. And he smiles and nods his head. And I've seen this before. Finally, I said, sir, what agency are you with? And he has me in his business car. I'm talking about in preparedness. And FEMA are Department of Homeland Security to know about what I'm talking about. I was down in near Potosi about three or four years ago doing a presentation on this. And there's a woman from SEMA, the State Emergency Management Agency. S-E-M-A. State Emergency Management Agency. Nice lady. She's sitting on the back. I'm talking about preparedness and different threats and so forth. Now, it's nighttime and we're in a building with no windows. When I got to that part, she put on sunglasses and didn't say anything to the rest of the night. It was kind of funny.  As of today, we've posted some things that previously I was selling. My article, No Need for Panic, which was written before I did my DVD. That's now a free download that talks about these matters. This is also a free download. Really catchy title. Your tax dollars paid for this, by the way. Department of Defense. An abrupt climate change scenario and its implications for United States national security published October 2003 by Peter Schwartz and Doug Randall. Ladies and gentlemen, it's to be about the scariest 22 pages you will ever read in your life. I guarantee it. It's to be about the scariest 22 pages you will ever read. Now, in 2003, when this was written, it talked about two possible future scenarios, which at this point have become reality. The two possible scenarios they talk about and the consequences of those scenarios. One, the Gulf Stream slowing down dramatically. Two, the Gulf Stream stopping. Scientists call it the North Atlantic and that's a mouthful. We'll say that fast ten times. The North Atlantic Thermal Hailing Conveyor. Ben Franklin named it the Gulf Stream. This is where you get to find out how big this dam is. Okay. There's a Gulf of Mexico, Florida, East Coast of the United States, Cuba. And over here we've got England, Ireland, and Scotland up in here. On my website, you'll find a link to the Gulf Stream where they publish a brand new map every 24 hours of sea temperatures worldwide.  A lot of these government websites have that. Just ignore it and go ahead and look inside. We also have a screen capture that was taken before June 12, 2010, which we'll get to why that's important in a moment. Okay, so we've got Florida, the Gulf Stream comes up here. It's just about Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. It starts going east by northeast. It used to ask for a way for a child where would split to warm up the Navy going south to warm up England, Ireland, Scotland, and France. June 12, 2010, the Gulf Stream stopped about two miles up. And when you see the Navy map, you'll see what I'm talking about. The Gulf Stream colors present the temperatures. When this was published in 2003, the scientists, they interviewed scientists, politicians, political scientists, military people to come to their conclusions. This is the unclassified open source version. Almost always there's a classified version of a document like this. Almost always, right Bruce? People can't see your head now. Thank you. The open source version talks about the following. If the Gulf Stream stops, famine, war, mass migration of millions of people if the Gulf Stream stops. That's what this talks about. Your tax dollars paid for this. Anybody ever hear me on Diego on Fridays? You do? Okay, a couple. I get to talk a little bit, but now I'm on Mondays and he lets me talk. In fact, I hosted his show and he was gone today, so I had to talk the whole hour. Genesis Communications has archives that anybody can access anytime they want. Here's your reference to the archives. We interviewed Dr. Louisiana Zangari, PhD scientist, the third Friday and fourth Friday of July, 2010. Dr. Zangari is English well enough that you can understand him. When we interviewed him at third Friday, he said, we believe the Gulf Stream stops. We have to recheck our calculations. We're not positive. Then he said something else that really caught my attention. Myself and most people who pay Gulf Stream, we know the Gulf Stream affects weather on the Eastern Seaboard River. That's pretty well known. What I didn't know and what Dr. Zangari told us is that the Gulf Stream regulated the Jet Stream. Now five miles above your head, right where you're sitting is 200 mile an hour wind. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It's called the Jet Stream. 200 miles an hour, five miles up. And it does this zigzag thing up and down like this over the north. There's three Jet Streams. One in the northern hemisphere, one in the southern hemisphere, and one at the equator. I don't want to hear any questions about HAARP. Yes, HAARP can affect some weather some of the time. Thank you very much. Let's move on. Weather is mostly a consequence of two things. Energy from the sun and what the Jet Stream does. That's what most of our weather is created by. Why is that important? Well, you may hear of your local Dave Murray, for example, the local weather guy, Weather Gal, talk about the Jet Streams doing strange things we've never seen it do before. Anybody here? Okay. You've heard that, right? Okay. They won't go the next step and tell you why. Because the Gulf Streams no longer regulating it. We'll get to that part. Remind me. Remind me. HAARP can't do that. That's one thing HAARP can't do. Regulating the Jet Stream means that the weather behaves more or less in a dependable fashion when it comes to temperatures and precipitation. Now this is an urban environment. We probably don't have any grain farmers here. Any grain farmers in the audience are used to be grain farmers. Rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, spelt, barley. Okay. I wouldn't expect there would be. Every business has a business model. The business model for growing grain is a five-year business model and we'll get four good ones. That's what they depend on and they've been doing that for many, many decades. The land that they buy and lease, the equipment they buy and lease, seed, fertilizer, pesticides, herbicides, everything they do is based on that being more or less the way it's going to be. Now granted, there could be five good harvests and there could be two bad ones but decade after decade, it's at four-in-one ratio and you can build a life and build a business and depend on it. Guess what? That's gone. That business model is broken and it's gone probably forever in terms of human years because the jet stream is no longer being regulated by the Gulf Stream. I'll answer your question now before I run off and forget it. Saltwater behaves differently than freshwater. There is a university-level experiment where they build a tank 10 feet by 10 feet, 100 feet long, full of fairly cold, let's say, 45, 50-degree saltwater and you inject fairly warm 80-degree saltwater at one end. There'll be a thermal barrier developed between the two and that warm water will move all the way through that tank as a unit and get to the other end. As you introduce fresh water into the tank, the ability to have that thermal barrier breaks down and the water starts mixing. Because the oceans are the salt content of the oceans. The salt content of the oceans is what allows these ocean currents to do what they do. Melting freshwater ice at Iceland and melting freshwater ice in the Antarctic has been reducing the salt content of these oceans for decades. It's not cow flagellants. It's not Command Sergeant Major's F-350 diesel truck out there. No. In fact, the ice is melting from the bottom at Iceland and Greenland. It's melting from the bottom. How could that possibly be cow flagellants or Command Sergeant Major's truck emissions? It couldn't be. Obviously not. As the salinity gets reduced, the Gulfstream was slowing down and slowing down and slowing down. When I wrote this paper, No Need for Panic Oh, Fall of 2005 published in January 2006. The Gulfstream had lost officially about one-third of its mass in velocity. Probably closer to half, but they were remitting one-third. At the time they were saying in the Fall of 2005, five to ten, five to twenty years in the future, we think the Gulfstream is going to stop. Alright, fast forward five years. What happened in the Gulf of Mexico? The British Petroleum Oil Spill


Hello, everyone. My name is Hong Phuc, and I come from Vietnam. Before I start, I just want to tell you a bit about what I'm wearing now. This is a traditional dress of Vietnam called Ao Dai. This is not convenient at all, but I want to wear this because... So you feel a bit like Vietnam. Actually, I have to think very carefully before I decided to wear this. I asked my friend whether Ao Dai or not, and he told me to do whatever everyone else does. So whenever Western come to Vietnam, they wear a jeans and a t-shirt or shoes, which is the European style, so I'm here. I have to wear a Vietnamese style. So today, I'm going to talk about how to get contributors for your free and flexible open-source project from Vietnam in Asia. So this is kind of a challenge that most of the projects are facing at the moment. The lack of developers, or you come from many different projects here, and do you know any Asian developers? How many Asian developers do you have? One. None? And we all know that most of the people live in Asia, right? Yes, we have a billion of people live in China, in Vietnam. We are just a very small country, but we have 84 million people. So let's get started. Okay, so this is the summary of a few points that I'm going to go through today. Let's start with a small introduction about myself. I'm not a designer. I'm not an artist. I'm not a developer. I studied in marketing. And I got into the open-source community since 2007. I attended an event in Hanoi called Force Bridge, which is an event that connects the European open-source company to the local companies. So I was there as a translator. And then after the event, I got very inspired by the idea of sharing, collaborating with people all over the world because at that time, I was so many foreigners and all handsome guys from the west, so I was very excited, so I joined the community. And then after that, I moved to Singapore for my study. And in Singapore, they have a group called Lino User Group. This group is very active. And the guys, they always help meet up every month. And they organize events. The developer is very free, the software freedom day, bar cam, all these kinds of stuff. And so I get involved, actually involved into the community of open-source. Then after that, I finished my study. I go back to Vietnam and organize the event called Norm Asia in 2009. At the moment, I have a food truck manager for a local hospital, which is not so big, it's very small. I come from a small town. And I did a lot of translation for free software into Vietnamese and organize events, have with translating a website and try Vietnamese articles on a Wikipedia. So that is a little bit about myself. Okay, I will go quick to this. Why a marketing student like me interested in open-source? The first reason is because I like to meet international people. I like the idea of sharing. And for me, like here attending this event, I learned a lot about new modern technology and design also other languages. And another thing is working for open-source projects give me the opportunity to be here. I got invited to be here because I contribute a bit on the open-source which is very good for a girl. Let me come from North Carolina city. And the last point I want to say, I'm very happy to be here. I really love the idea of sharing and study from each other. Yesterday I attended a workshop with the people from OSP. They spent like two or three hours showing us how to make a poster by command lines, which I have never done before. So they are very nice and friendly. So I think that I should give something back to the community by having the talk. I try to help the project get more developers from Vietnam as well as Asia. Okay, this is a map of Vietnam. For some of you who don't know, Vietnam is a little bit below China, next to Thailand, Laocambodia. This is Ho Chi Minh city, the economic powerhouse of Vietnam. We have events like Cunom Asia or 4th Asia. It will be this year, November 12th to 14th. It will be held in Ho Chi Minh city. This is a small city where I come from. It's located by the Mekong River. This is the floating market in Can Tho, which is very famous. This is a screen shot of Cunom Asia 2009. We organized it last year in Ho Chi Minh city. The very shy girl sitting on the right is me. We have a woman panel at Cunom Asia talking about how Cunom can evolve into IT or to an open-source community. Next, I will tell you a bit about this situation in Asia, free and open-source in Asia. There are a lot of projects that, while using Asia, I got to read from the screen. Containment management systems like Chimla, RuPaul, or WordPress, devices using Android, Fire Phone and OpenWRT, server using Linux companies using Scream and InScap for services like 3HP Vietnam, which is a very big company in Vietnam. They use Scream to making personal manga portraits for the Japanese people. Most of the people in Vietnam are using Wikipedia, so we are all involved in the open-source community. This is a website showing that we use RuPaul and free licenses for commercial websites. Actually, we earn money from the open-source project which is RuPaul and all the containers under Creative Common License. This is another example using Chimla and we also earn money from this. By the way, I forgot to tell you, I recently founded a company that do enforce for ICT project marketing and consulting, so that's what we are doing. So, go to the main points of the presentation. Projects need new contributors. Okay, I don't know if Ali is here. No, the other day I talked to him and he explained to me that at the moment, most of the project is facing a challenge in the lack of developers. In the beginning, usually, there are many developers, but later on, some become less motivated as they have to take care of other things in their life, like their family or they don't see a lot of movement and justly because if you don't see anything going on, why you have to do it anymore so no one else even bothered to care about it. And some find other interesting projects or need to focus more on income, I think that we all experienced this. So there is a content list of younger newcomers and why don't you look at the Asian community? There are many capable young people in Asia. And, okay, many people in Asia, you are open source, but still number of contributors seem very limited. So what are the reasons? In Asia, we have millions of people study IT, design, languages, and communication while there are more contributors, in particular students doing projects in the community. So to answer the question, actually we have to ask a lot of people. We ask people during Norm Asia, during force mix-up and during education project we do like here in Badli province. This is a project our company did a few weeks ago doing research about ICT in the education on climate change awareness in Vietnam. And so whenever we have a chance to get out and we try to ask people why they don't involve in the community. So we come up with a few points like this. There is very little research that has been done about community in Asia asking potential contributors why they did not involve yet. I often hear things like I do not know enough about free and open source or I would like to submit a first report to change the system, but I don't know how to join the project and help. Or I want to help, but I do not have a lot of knowledge. So what is the solution? So I come up with nine top things that I would like to suggest to the project. I picked nine because actually nine is a lucky number in Vietnam. So nine means very rich. In China I believe eight is a lucky number for your information. So top one is to understand background of your potential contributors and consider implications for your project. So what is that? So you have to understand the Asian people. The first thing is you must understand the Asian people like me are very side. We feel that we are not confident in speaking English because it's not our mother tongue. And also another thing you have to be considered is the time difference.  And I know it's very simple, but it's good that you need to arrange some meeting with developers all over the world so you should pick a time frame that everyone can join. Even some know a lot, they might still say they do not have the knowledge because we are very modest, even though we don't know, actually we know a lot, but we don't say it. Okay, so some contributors might be afraid to contribute and discuss anything like code that is unfinished because in Asia, the people like one developer, he wrote a code, but it's not finished yet. He don't want to show anyone. But we know that development is always ongoing. So if you just don't tell people what you're doing, how can they help? How can you finish? You will never finish. And the next thing is just about software projects. It seems like Asian-founded software projects do not often encounter mailing list fights. Do you have this problem here in Europe? Because we always, actually in Asia, we don't tell people exactly what we think.  It's better if you write this way. We don't tell directly. So that is like the different culture between Europe and Asia. And another thing is in many Asian countries, parents pay a lot for the education of their kids. Some students may have to justify what they are doing contributing their free time to a project for free. I don't know if you get free education here in Europe. In Asia, we have to pay. Everything has to pay. Because the government does not give us anything. So come to the next topic. After you understand the background of your potential developers, you need to identify some simple entry points that are suitable for contributors and make it easy to join. For example, create a join bay on your project, on your website in as many languages as possible. Define different to-do items for different groups. For example, developers, designer, translator, and event organizer. Mention as well that people can help by offering support in forum or writing an article on their blog. Tell the advantages of people have contributing to your project. So if I would tell someone that what is the advantages of contributing to an open source project, I would say you have a chance to go to conference overseas. The last thing you consider the way to communication in your project, do you use a lot of abbreviation and insider language, which is very difficult for an Asian to understand. Okay. Top three, make it easy to communicate. Adapt communication channels people are using already. So for example, in China, I see a lot of people using Google group or in Singapore, most of people use IRC. And for some in Taiwan, people also use IRC or many developer blogs in Taiwan. And in Vietnam, the user community, they mainly use forum. Some developers, they have mailing list, but most of the people are still using forum. And I think many developers do not like forum, but this is very useful for the beginning level. Set up meetings at a time that Asian could join, which is I told you earlier. Provide guides for new channels like IRC for people here in Europe, IRC is so old. But many Asian people do not know or never heard about IRC. So you need to make a guide for the people how to join the IRC channel. Top four is set up projects within your project and ask people to become project leads. So just set up the web project. You have many different projects, but inside the project, you can set up smaller projects so it's easier for people to contribute. For example, set up web projects, video projects, documentation projects, and translation projects. This works very well with the LSE translation project. Actually, at the moment, we have 120 active translators for the LSE project. Make a wiki page and a forum page for projects like design projects, like we all designer here set up. We can set up a public sharing folder on prop box, for example. It's easier to share big files. Speak to people at the community gatherings and make the buster send the file to university and ask them to hand it up to inform the students. I think it's a very good way to promote your project to the students and the school, they would be happy to boot up your buster because they have nothing to do. They don't have any buster in the school anyway. Top five, create guides for contributors. Involve designer, translator, writer to make guides and publication for contributors. This is a lot of work, but people need to know how to contribute. And there is a genuine good luck opportunity to meet up at conferences and community events compared to Europe or North America. In Asia, we seldom have this kind of meeting. So the only way that people can get information online on the internet or through books. So it's very helpful if we can publish a book. I think that somebody at the conference John mentioned about having LGM book or something I would be happy to translate it to Vietnamese. Okay, next point. Translate your core website and documentation to other languages. Make a weekly forum available in different languages. So it's very... For your project, you don't know anyone from... How can you translate to different languages if you don't know anyone in China or you don't know anyone from Vietnam? How can you do that? It's quite easy because every country they have a Linux user group who are very passionate about open source and normally people are willing to translate some free software to their own languages. So you can start with the Linux user group in that country that you want to translate to your project. And for Vietnamese, anyone who wants to translate I would be happy because I have a team of people in the community that do generation for projects. Okay, next. So this is exciting. John in set up contest a support program and offer certificates. We love certificates. So I wish that I would be in here. I can have a certificate to bring back and show my parents or show my friends that even, you know, we experienced this in North Asia. The certificate just say that the student participates in North Asia and they were so happy because it means something when you apply for the job. If the people, your lawyers see that you are so active you've been to many places, many conferences and they are more willing to hire you. Start a contest or a call event in cooperation with local partners. After Linux user group or local companies to contribute to the project or to cooperate and help you Google some of cost is well known and everyone know about Google some of cost project but you can make your own project as well. For example, you need developers in China. You can go to Beijing or Guangzhou to make a summer contest and it's not so difficult because everything is cheaper than here in Europe. With like 1500 or 2000 you can have a three month summer contest to attract students and for developers you can give a gift like 200 dollars for one developer or something that would be very happy to contribute or if you don't have the financial you can just tell them that maybe you introduce them to go to another conference or you can give a gift like t-shirt or bag and people would be happy and get more enrichment to the project. Okay, lastly the consideration the challenge is often to have someone of your team to take care of the program and contributors rather than the funding so I think that for the project for famous project like Kim Inskap or some other thing here it's not so difficult to get funding like 2000 or 1500 then you can go to Asia and have a summer court or something and get more developers. Okay, so this is a picture of Beijing Lino Group and one laptop per child project in Afghanistan and Vietnam are progressing well offering Chinese certificate for teacher and student again they offer certificates for the teacher just to learn something and you get certificates. So this is a picture of a young teacher showing her student how to work with the one laptop per child and this is the student from a fishing village in Ha Long Bay Ha Long Bay is one of the most beautiful beach in Vietnam it's from the north. Top 8 attend and organize events in Asia why we should have an event because personal meet up is always good it creates a personal relationship like what we are having now fun events are important to develop a sense of community after all force and leap of graphics is not only about getting windows but also about beautiful collaboration and international exchanges right? So I think that after if you come to Asia for an event you should stay a few days longer to meet up with the local people and you can add the local community to set up a workshop or support businesses working with your project and if you cannot attend events consider offering event organizer in Asia to submit a video presentation and to be available for a live video chat showing event like we see earlier today Top 9 the last month consider add-ons on your project website to offer your community more opportunities you can offer a job section for people who are looking for a job other section based services to your site and offer active contributors to bot for free you can take an example of rootpaul website visit all the things that has been done on their website and add the name of contributors as sub-projects and offer them to put up a link to their site from the project page this is a way to feature your contributors and give them better opportunities to get a job or to be well known in the community okay so this is recruitment opportunities during events so I almost come to an end of my presentation and if you have any ideas or any successful story you can share with us and contribute to the presentation and so at the end I would like to invite you all to Vietnam to the Mekong Delta or to Ho Chi Minh City there are a lot of people waiting to meet you and we welcome all visitors around the world and for my company we would be very happy to offer you a free internet connection and our famous Vietnamese coffee for everyone so our slogan is better together and another thing I would like to mention is we are having an event called 4th Asia in Ho Chi Minh City November 12th to 14th more information can be found on our website 4thasia.org if you can join us at 4th Asia okay so I can give you my contact later or if you don't come to the event you want to go to Vietnam for a visit or something I can give you suggestions if you have a place to go or this kind of thing thank you very much for joining my talk okay I want to say something I would like to thank the organizer for giving me the opportunity to be here and special thanks to Femke and the constant people who have so much trouble happy me with the visa thank you so much a pleasure so thank you very much I've yes now it's working I'm actually just two weeks back from staying in India where I talked about a dozen students about how to interact with open source projects the interesting thing was that these students are doing a project an internship sponsored by a company for their university and what I was thinking is what are the opportunities in the rest of Asia for starting this kind of project where a university makes it possible for the students to do an internship or a project with an open source project because I think it would be possible for people like me to mentor those students but if their university tells them you have this opportunity then it might be much easier for them to get started instead of doing things voluntarily yes it's true it's totally true because it's always better if you have a connection with the university because they can help you refer the student and when the teacher say a student you can have an internship at a company that are very willing to come and in Asia at the end of the final year normally students have two, three, two, six months internship at that time they don't expect to earn a lot of money but they want to get experience so it's very good if you have the connection with university to get interns for your project you don't have the connection yet as I said yes in India maybe you can try to look online for the Linux user group in India and lots of people speak English in India maybe they can help you or you can directly contact with the university okay thank you maybe also you will be around the coming days probably not wearing your beautiful dress we will know who you are now so thank you very much thank you


Lawrence Ellison was born on the 17th of August, 1977, to a single Jewish mother in New York City, USA. His biological father was a United States Army Air Corps pilot of Italian origin. Lawrence encountered his first rejection in life when his biological mother refused to have anything to do with him after he contracted pneumonia at the age of 9 months. She gave Lawrence to her aunt, an uncle for adoption and did not make any efforts to be in her life afterwards. Lawrence was taken to Chicago's South Shore where his adoptive parents lived. Drowning up in the care of his adoptive parents was difficult for Lawrence. While his adoptive mother was warm and caring towards him, his adoptive father was cold and distant and was often mean to him. Lawrence was raised in a reformed Jewish home by his adoptive parents and he attended synagogue regularly with them but he did not make Lawrence religious in any way. While he identified as Jewish in terms of cultural identity, he never subscribed to any of the Jewish doctrines. This intensified a rift that existed between him and his adoptive father. At the onset of his adolescence, Lawrence found himself drawn to the wonders of the computer. He read any book or article he could find on software creation and programming. This was a flare that he continued to have until he completed his elementary and secondary education in Chicago and then proceeded to the University of Illinois in Urbana campaign. He withdrew from school after his second year when his adoptive mother passed on. Because he didn't have a stable relationship with his adoptive father and had no known relative, he felt so desolate and bereft again. This culminated in depression and made him unable to complete his final exams.  So he moved back to Chicago where he enrolled in the University of Chicago. At this new institution, he learned computer design. He didn't have the financial or emotional stability to complete his studies so he dropped out after a semester. Lawrence soon found a job in the employ of Ampex and moved to Berkeley, California. While working there, he never neglected his age-long interest in programming. He continued to learn more about programming and spent his free time practicing all he had learned. He stumbled on Edgar F. Coates' research on relational database design and this led to the formation of his software company called Oracle. His company, Oracle, had so many ups and downs, Lawrence worked so hard on Oracle for years but not and seemed to pan out. All his efforts to keep the company afloat proved abortive. At some point, he had to mortgage his house to obtain a line of credit to sustain the business. The failure of this company tried to discourage him but by his experiences in life, Lawrence had cultivated some form of dogged resilience. He continued to devote his time and resources to Oracle for eight years until the company stabilized and found success. As of October 2019, Lawrence Ellison was listed by Forbes magazine as the sixth wealthiest person in the world. So here's the thing, anyone who hopes to brave the storm of life must stay focused on their goal. Events like rejection, failure are only forms of distractions and if we give in to them, we will lose sight of our ultimate target in life. Dennis Wakeley said, Failure should be our teacher and our undertaker. Failure is a delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detail, not a dead end. When we quits because of failure, we just show how undeserving of success we are. No one should see failure as the end of the road. Napoleon Hill said, Most great people have achieved their great success just one step beyond their greatest failure. When it seems all hope is lost, we should keep working on our dreams because success could be close at hand. Jack Cunfield said, Don't worry about failure, worry about the chances you lease when you don't even try. Your habits regard failures that means how far you can go in life.  Lawrence Ellison's success could be attributed to his resilience, his resolve to continue trying even when his company was failing.


And who does it here alongside Stevenson head coach Tracy Johnson and coach congrats on the win a big one there obviously advancing now to the final four of the UCHC what can you say about the two senior leaders that really got the scoring off started Monica and Chelsea. I can't say enough about them you know they've been playing together for a long time they pretty much I would assume can read each other's minds at this point what they're thinking and what they want to do and obviously getting that first goal was huge for us in terms of picking up some momentum early on.  She played incredible actually the hat that I wear on the bench we give out to individual player at the end of the game and I went to her because we she just she played awesome and that whole line I think played really well you know it's not always about which lines are putting points up on the scoreboard it's which ones that we need to to grind it out for us and make big plays like that and without without that line playing the way that they did and Matty too we don't win that game. What were there any adjustments made between the second and the third period it seemed like the Valence really found something in the second period in terms of momentum and the third period you guys really shut them down we're able to find a couple of goals. We just wanted to just kind of recenter ourselves and focus on the little things that we needed to do to play our game of hockey and you know my whole thing to them is just everything else is noise you got to focus on what you can control and how you can play and we just made we got back to basics in the third. So you guys it looks like you're gonna face William Smith next weekend what do you say to your girls to get them ready for that and have you started scouting them at all we have not seen them since the beginning of the year so we are a completely different team than when we first faced off face off against them that's the right word since we first played against them so we're excited to get that rematch with them and it happens to come at a fun time in the final four of the playoffs so we'll be ready to go. Thanks so much for the time coach good luck and congratulations. Thank you for more Mustangs Athletic go to go Mustangsports.com


Now, suppose trajectory is entering here and here the coordinates of this particle or trajectory is designated by the column vector. This is x0, x0 shows the displacement with respect to the design axis at the entrance of the magnet and x prime 0 is the angle made by trajectories at the entrance of the magnet with respect to the descent trajectory and suppose trajectory exits from here from this magnet. So, here also you can define a column vector showing the state of motion or coordinates x and x prime of this trajectory at the exit of the magnet with respect to descent trajectory and this is the matrix of this magnetic element which connects the initial coordinates to the final coordinates. And this matrix of any element in accelerator jargon is known as transfer matrix of the magnet. Now, we will put the value of k for individual magnets and we will get the individual elements matrix. So, for drift space we will put k is equal to 0 in the matrix. So, in the k is equal to 0, the first element was cos root kn. So, k is equal to 0 means cos 0 it will become 1, similarly you can obtain rest of the elements. So, this element will be l only and this element will be 0 and this element 1. So, this is the transfer matrix of the drift space in horizontal plane. Similarly, drift space is seen in the vertical plane also because there is no force in the drift space either in the horizontal plane or in the vertical plane. So, matrices in the horizontal plane and vertical plane are seen in the case of drift space. So, in drift space in the vertical plane also we have 1, 0 and we have obtained this matrix of the drift space rooting through the Hilsequation solution and matrices all these kind of thing. But you can verify this very easily using the tip of the matrix how suppose this is a design path or design axis we are measuring the distances and angle with respect to this. This is our coordinate system. So, suppose this is a particle trajectory going in this direction inside the drift space and this is our initial point and this is our final point. So, distance between the final point to initial point is designated as l the length of the drift space. So, at this initial point the coordinates are x 0, x prime 0 and coordinates at the final point is x and x prime. We want x and x prime as a function of x 0 and x prime 0. So, you can see because there is no force the direction of motion will not change for the particle trajectory. So, trajectory's angle will remain constant throughout the drift space means final angle will be equal to the initial angle. So, x prime should be equal to x 0. And in case of x you can easily calculate it calculate that if this is the angle x prime 0. So, this length will be l x prime 0 and then x will be x 0 plus this quantity. So, x 0 plus l x prime 0 and using the matrix you will get the similar thing. So, we have proved very easily that the matrix which we got for the drift space is correct. Now, for the sector dipole magnet again remember that sector dipole magnet is that magnet in which edges have the orientation with respect to descent trajectory. So, that angles between the edges and descent trajectory is 90 degree. At the entrance as well as at the exit so, this orientation of the magnet is known as sector and this is a natural sector of the sector. And also we have no gradient in the magnet in this case k is 1 by whole square we have seen that k is equal to 1 by whole square gradient part is 0. So, now in the matrix which we obtained at every place of k in the horizontal plane we will put 1 by rho is 4. So, under root kl will be l by rho and l by rho is just theta. So, under root kl is the arrangement of the cosine and sine in the matrices. So, in the case of bending magnet in the horizontal plane we get cos theta theta is the bending angle of that magnet rho sine theta 1 minus rho sine theta and cos theta in the horizontal plane. Now, you can see here interesting thing that this element comes with minus sign and what does it mean? It means x will be x prime will be equal to minus 1 by rho sine theta x 0 plus cos theta x 0 prime. Now, you can see minus means it is reducing the initial coordinate with some amount means it is a kind of focusing. It is reducing the displacement with respect to design trajectory as particle passes through the magnet and it is the focusing. This was the geometrical focusing that is why 1 by rho square focusing is known as geometrical focusing in the sector magnet. In vertical plane the dipole sector dipole magnet behaves like the drifted space. So, we have matrix like the drifted space into vertical plane. So, now we have known the matrix of the drifted space a sector dipole magnet now we will obtain the matrix of the quadrupole magnet. In case of quadrupole magnet just put k is equal to gradient normalized by magnetic residue. So, form of the matrix in the focusing plane will be seen as of the original matrix. However, in the defocusing plane we have minus k and minus k. So, under root of k in the defocusing plane will be iota root k means under root k will be iota root k in the defocusing plane. So, in this case the argument of sine and cosine will convert to the hyperbolic functions and hyperbolic function is exponentially growing solution. So, in the defocusing plane we get solution of displacement and angle as the exponentially growing. And this should be because defocusing means the particle is going away and away from the descent trajectory. So, in the focusing plane the matrix is exactly same as we have obtained and in defocusing plane we have hyperbolic functions. If in accelerated jargon we say this is a focusing quadrupole we generally refer to horizontal plane means if a focusing quadrupole means focusing in the horizontal plane it will be defocusing in the vertical plane and defocusing quadrupole means it is defocusing in the horizontal plane and focusing in the vertical plane this is just the convention. Now sometimes we take very very thin element magnetic element in our calculations. So, l tends to be 0. In this case what should be the transfer matrix of this thin magnetic element? Here we will consider thin quadrupole.  Now you can see here at the entry of the trajectory at this thin lens of element and at the exit. You cannot distinguish x means x at the entry will be equal to x at the exit. So this makes our first row of the matrix so x is equal to x0 and what is this angle? This angle depends on the focal length of this quadrupole which we have seen earlier and that is why in the second row we have 1 by f here and at the diagonals we get 1. So you will get x prime is equal to plus minus 1 by f x0 plus x0 prime. Now you can see that in the case of focusing lens x0 x prime should be negative side means negative with respect to the entry. So this sign should be negative in the case of focusing lens and for the defocusing lens we have to take the positive sign which enhances the angle with respect to the center trajectory compared to the incoming trajectory. So now we have obtained matrices of all the important magnetic elements which we use in accelerators. There are various other kinds of magnets also which we use in accelerator but here in this course we are considering only those magnets under which our equation of motion remains linear. Because I am talking about the linear differential equation I want to put some remarks. So we have d2x by ds square plus k as a function of s x is equal to 0. I am saying that this is a linear differential equation. Now one question may arise that k may be a complicated function of s that k may be k1 plus k2 s plus k3 s square and like that. In this case will it become a non-linear equation? No. Because non-linearity is in the independent variable s here to make the differential equation non-linear we have to have some non-linearity in the x itself which is not there. So under the dipole and quadrupole magnet and using the paraxial approximation our equation of motion remains linear. So whatever we are studying so far is the linear accelerator physics or linear beam dynamics. We will keep ourselves to this domain. Now suppose we have a series of magnets. How these matrices can be used to solve the whole optics or entire optics? Suppose these are two magnetic elements and in between these two magnetic elements there are drift spaces. This is the magnetic drift spaces. And we want to solve this very small optics means two magnets and one drift space. This is our small optics which we want to solve using the method which we have learned so far that is the matrix method. Suppose a trajectory is coming here and this is the entry point of the optics and then it goes like this after the first magnet and after the second magnet it goes like this. So you can say that this is the initial point for this magnet. So this will be designated by column vector x1, x1 prime and this is the final coordinates of trajectory at the exit of this magnet. So this is x2 and x2 prime. We have designated it with x2 and x2 prime. Let the matrix of this magnetic element be m1. So this x2 and x2 prime can be written down as a matrix product of m1 and matrix of the initial condition. So this x2 this is a column vector multiplied by m1 which is a 2 by 2 matrix and x1 which is the column vector of the initial coordinates. Now when we know this x2 using this equation now this vector is known to us and this has become the initial condition for this drift space. So now this coordinate can be obtained using the drift space matrix considering this as an initial condition. So we can get x3, x3 here using the matrix of the drift space and initial condition as this. So now we can get x3 as a function of this if we merge these two equations. If we merge these two equations we will get x3 is equal to x2. Now this is the second magnetic element for this. Now x3A and x3 prime this vector is known to us and this becomes the initial condition for this magnet and we know the matrix of transfer matrix m3 for this magnet. So now we can get x4 and x4 prime means coordinate at the exit of this trajectory of this optics. Coordinates of the trajectory at the exit of this optics. So this will be x4 is equal to m3 x3. At the place of x3 we can put this relation so we get x4 is equal to m3 m2 m1 x1. So it is quite easy, you just have to multiply the matrices of each magnetic element in the correct order and you will get the overall transfer matrix of the optics and if you put initial condition in the beginning of that matrix you will get the final. And in this scale in this manner you can obtain the particle trajectory throughout the optics. So using matrix methods you can easily compute the trajectory. You can write down your own code very simple code of matrix product and just put the matrices of dipole magnet, quadrupole magnet, drift space whatever all the element is coming in between and then using this criteria you can obtain the full trajectory. Now as we have known that by gluing the matrices using the final and initial condition we can get the composite matrix of the optics. Now we come to the wage magnet. What is a wage magnet? Wage magnet already we have seen in one of the examples that the magnet whose age has different orientation with respect to descent trajectory compared to the sector magnet. So had it been a sector magnet the age should be this. But in this magnet we have age like this. So trajectory is not entering at the right angle. So we have here certain age effect which we computed in our previous lectures. And this alpha is the angle with a sector each for this angle. Now if this angle is in this direction we have seen in our example of age effect this will produce a defocusing effect compared to the sector magnet in the horizontal plane. And a focusing effect in the vertical plane. So using a quadri-polar thin quadri-polar type matrix for this age then the matrix of the sector magnet then a thin quadri-polar matrix for the exit age we can get a complete matrix of this wage magnet. So matrix of the sector magnet, matrix of the empty age effect and matrix of the exit age effect. This exit and entry age effect can be modeled as the thin quadri-polar. So this is the thin quadri-polar matrix with focal length like this here the element is 1 by f in the thin quadri-polar. So 1 by f has been replaced by tan alpha by rho which we have computed in our previous lectures. Then this is the matrix of the sector magnet then matrix at the exit. This is again a thin quadri-polar effect due to age. In particular case when alpha is theta by 2 theta is the bending angle we say that this magnet is the rectangular magnet or parallel age magnet this particular orientation is known as. So in this particular orientation we have put at the place of alpha theta by 2 and theta by 2. This is a simple matrix multiplication after multiplication you will get a beautiful result that this magnet behaves in the horizontal plane just like the drift space and the length of that drift space is rho sin theta. Theta is the bending angle and rho is the radius of curvature of the particle trajectory inside this magnet. In the vertical plane the sector magnet has a matrix just like the drift space. So sandwiched matrix is like the drift space and here you can see the effect will be reversed so plus sign has become minus here. Means it is focusing in the vertical plane because this angle is here. If this angle will be here the effect of focusing and defocusing will be reversed and in this case you will get a matrix just like the sector magnet in the vertical plane. This is a very remarkable result that in the case of parallel age magnet horizontal plane is just like the drift space while the vertical plane is just like the sector magnet. So using these matrices we can compute trajectory through the complicated magnetic optics very easily. And what the solutions we are getting in the form of cosine plus sign these are the principle solutions of that differential equations. So if we will take initial condition like x0 is equal to unity and x0 prime is 0 then you have cosine like solution and if you choose the initial conditions like x is equal to 0 and x prime is equal to unity then you will get the sine like solution and all other solutions or trajectories will be the linear combination of these solutions which we have seen and because of the linear nature of these dynamics the matrices can be written down and this provides a very powerful tool for computing. You can consider these matrices as the operator. So each matrix has an operator of the associated magnet and it operates on the initial condition and you get the final condition. References are same and each book on accelerator physics covers nicely these matrices in the accelerator physics. So you can go through these books to go into the details of these matrix calculations. In the next lecture we will see another way of solving the L-situation. This was the matrix method and another way is they also exist and we will see that method in the next lecture.
