Alright, in this problem-solving video I'm going to show you how to solve an equilibrium constant problem using algebra. Alright, so here's our problem. We've got the equilibrium between hydrogen, iodine and hydrogen iodide. And we know that KEQ for this process at some given temperature is 45.9. And we're told that 2 moles of hydrogen and 3 moles of iodine are put into a sealed glass vessel with a volume of 2 litres and allowed to come to equilibrium. And we're asked to calculate the concentration of hydrogen iodide at equilibrium. Alright, the first two steps in any problem like this are to write the equilibrium expression and to construct an equilibrium table like the ones that you've seen before. So let's do the equilibrium expression first. We'll do it over here. So KEQ is going to do products over reactants. So we've got the concentration of hydrogen iodide squared over the concentration of hydrogen times the concentration of iodine. And next we're going to construct an equilibrium table. So we can do initial moles, or initial concentration rather, and final or equilibrium concentration. And we might as well put the change row in there just for clarity. And we have our equilibrium up the top here. Okay, now we know already that the initial, we're going to do this in concentration. So our volume is 2 litres. And we know that we have 2 moles of hydrogen in 2 litres. So c equals n over v. So the concentration of hydrogen is 2 over 2, which equals 1 mole per litre. So we've got 1 mole per litre of hydrogen. And we've got 3 moles of iodine in 2 litres. So that's going to be 3 divided by 2, which is 1.5 moles per litre. And we have no hydrogen iodide to start off with. Okay, now that's all we know. We're not told how much of any of the species is formed at equilibrium. We have to work that out. And this is where we start using the tables with a variable like x. Okay, so let's say that the, as it comes to equilibrium, let's say that x amount of hydrogen is used up. So I'm going to say that the change in hydrogen is x. So then the equilibrium concentration of hydrogen will be 1 minus x. Now there's a 1 to 1 ratio between hydrogen and iodine. So if x moles per litre of hydrogen is used, then x moles per litre of iodine must also be used. So at equilibrium, we have 1.5 minus x for iodine. And it's a 1 to 2 ratio between hydrogen and hydrogen iodide. So if x moles of hydrogen is used, then 2x moles of hydrogen iodide must have been made. So at equilibrium, we have 2x hydrogen iodide. Okay, so we now have equilibrium concentrations. They're in terms of x, but we do have expressions for them. And we also have an equilibrium expression that relates those concentrations to each other. So what we're going to do now is substitute our concentrations in terms of x into our equilibrium expression. So we're going to get keq. We already know that this equals 45.9. So I'm going to put that equals 45.9, which equals... So we put the concentration of hydrogen iodide on top. That's 2x and it's squared over the concentrations of hydrogen and iodine multiplied together. So we've got 1 minus x and 1.5 minus x. All right, so what we're going to do now is we're going to sort of multiply this out and simplify it, and you'll find that it turns into a quadratic equation of the same type that you've been solving for at least the last two years.  So it's going to look like this. And 2x all squared is 4x squared. So we now have this. And I'm then going to do a couple of steps to simplify it. I'm not going to write them all out here. I'd like you to try and do them for yourself. It's good algebra practice. But what you should end up with is something that looks like...   So you plug those in and you solve it. And what you will find is that x comes out with two values because of the plus or minus x. The two x's that solve this equation are either x equals 0.89 or x equals 1.85.  Hydrogen was going to be 1 mole per litre minus x. So it actually makes no physical sense for x to be 1.85 because you can't use more than you started with. We had 1 mole per litre to start with and if x is 1.85, then we've used more than we had. So this is always the case with these equilibrium problems. When you solve them using the x equals minus b, plus or minus the square root of b squared minus 4ac, all over 2a, you will always find that there are two solutions and you'll always find that one of the two solutions is physically impossible. So you find out which one is physically impossible and you cross that out and then x is the one that remains. So in this case, x equals 0.89. So we can now answer the question that we were asked in the first place, which was to calculate the concentration of hydrogen iodide at equilibrium. We know from our table that the concentration of hydrogen iodide was 2x. We know that x is 0.89. Therefore, concentration of hydrogen iodide equals 2 times 0.89, which equals 1.78 molar. All right, now this, it looks like a long and difficult problem and there are quite a few steps that you have to follow, but each step individually is not that difficult and it uses skills that you already had, mostly algebra. This does tend to be a very algebraic course. And if you're feeling worried about this kind of problem, the best thing that you can do is practice a whole heap of them.


d to be played anyway i was in vegas and the the win hotel overlooks their their famous golf course and um there were guys there were people playing my cousin played um and i was like wasn't it hot he's like yeah i think here you definitely definitely take a cart here as weather permits it would just be reckless to carry a bag of clubs there's caddies there too but but still everyone's got a ride in a in a golf cart it's too hot i went to the us open final at la country club and this is another course where you can't really tell from here or from tv just how much elevation changes there are so believe it or not la if you've never been is a lot more hilly than you think see there are a lot more canyons lot more mountains a lot of valleys so that golf course is built within that terrain so so that's a that's that's why golf architects i know it didn't play well on tv but golf architects will gush over this course because of the way it is naturally like when i was walking that course with with my colleague nick and um and his brother we were we were walking the court i mean it was like we were proper like hiking in in the mountains you know like griffith park is a popular you know hiking destination you know but people like to hike here sometimes a lot of most of its fake hiking but there are some real hikers here and real hiking trails around here it's like hiking there was like there's just like dirt paths and hills and your steep inclines and a lot of elevation a lot of sort of stuff we'll bring you okay fair fair enough although although i might i might i might be chad probably been playing longer than me so maybe i'll maybe i'll have to play with danie you'll you'll play with chad and then that'll be uh that'll be a good force i'm there you can just do you can do like best falls or scrambles figure out some different games oh in that case then the pressure's on me to not look uh to not look bad but yeah i think i'll uh still doing a lot of nine hole courses i've started to work that in to uh work that into no it it did it existed there there are are there are uh it's a different game though it's more of a courtyard game it might be more similar to croquet than what we know is modern golf but the nether the dutch game of kulf included like holes and flags in it so some people do mistakenly say that's the origins of golf of modern golf as we know it but really that's generally attributed to scotland where the idea of actual courses were were put into play but like most modern games there's been ball and hoop games uh going back to ancient civilizations now what directly related to the modern sport as we know today that's a little different you probably give the dutch about 25 percent of the modern dutch about 25 credit on that's the scott 75 credit by the way folks we've got about an hour left in the show we still have time to do that optic break if you want to i did pop that into a filler someone took a spot but we need some more people 37.99 can help you land the $370 orlando magic $70 $380 something like that the expensive orlando magic we can go bank carol hunting in this break right there and if you win a team yes you will be eligible for a wax party spot fine spaceball we can still roll on that uh what about that uh what about what about anti-collegiate we only need three people it's a little pricey but we but there's no fillers we need three more people to unlock that that must be this break right here yeah anti-collegiate basketball latest edition 2022 edition so should i put that into a filler maybe let's see what the price is for a filler for the remaining three spots right $9.99 maybe that'll be faster than waiting for people to buy full spots maybe we'll use that pack right there all right so maybe i'll do one last spot well i'll give it a second here so it's either going to be it's going to be between 14 and 18 dollars depending on whether i do a two-spot filler or a one-spot filler that's the spiky bear everyone knows that chant everyone knows the spiky barrel sports really was a matter of life and death back then all right well i'll give it a few moments to see if anybody wants to buy a full spot here which would actually make the filler a lot cheaper if we wanted to but for now three left and we can unlock this two box break we only need three three people feeling a little frisky chasing after these players remember it just goes by number so there is a potential you can get you know most of the hits with just a number or two otherwise i can pull the three spots out and put them into a filler top three will win spots there and it'll be 1899 i'll give it a few moments to give people a chance to buy full spots it might just be easier to do it that way so give it a go ladies and gentlemen if you're feeling frisky this is the best chance to take out better than it's not an actual basketball player you know you think it's gonna be ultra aggressive rushing and using this big serve let's see what an opponent comes up with but we still know that we thought it was gonna be the match of the day get out for us if we're a teeny later by the early days you guys today right The next question is generally about the players that play in this sort of, it's up to who you like in the day. In the stage for that, I know that they come over here and support you in the big bands. And that's a, they're playing in tennis, origin, and you get real, real good experience. It's very easy for a tourist guy. It certainly is on the mindset with against eights on the mindslayer, but the biggest reason for it is that he's able to get that done. The next question is generally about the bands, his tournament, his ability to deal with on-stakes, and his ability to not get blustered when you miss a few balls. Even modern like this where I feel like the emotional and mental part is way more than normal. Naturally, super scenes have all your playing tennis skills really easy. There was a 27-year-old man who was working for me, he was outside the top 100 to start the year, and he was building some controlling points in each of them a few weeks ago. And here he is, the last eight in the league, and it's like that you're really going to have a point this time. He's never in his life to change, even the last three or four games. And actually, we just got a lot of support, and fortunes have changed. There's not as much, if you say good things, have to do with people who don't want to work their way into this, he has to wake up and learn how to present, learn how to play. Imagine like, I think there's going to be the greatest, greatest level of modern play. Not everyone's going to be able to play the top of their league, but I think they're going to have a lot of play on the box. But when I said they had a pair, and I said they had been able to create the conversation with them for about five years, you know, in Houston, and I'd seen them play a bunch, and I knew them.  Yeah. It's like, Demi, he has a lot of play. What do I believe in? What do I do? Big moments. Watch what he's doing here. He knows what he's doing there. And he told us, if I'm taking care of the league, it's pretty much like a post match. Yeah, like the God, it takes, just to see that this level will be in here again. It's on the biggest stage in tennis, and I think he is. So whoever comes here, we'll talk to Chris, who makes all the set, a little bit. Later, skip the day, or what, no plummet or imp, no limits to how the number of Americans looking to know that the next time he's going to be doing it, all the space and here at 100,000, Chris, you've been a dream. Continue to be all in the book. It's a great, cool, ready for today. So, all the best. All the best. All the best. All the best. All the best. And yes, my friend.  All of the best.  Yeah. Everyone, you're great. Sorry about that. Just a little bit. That's okay. No, no, no, no. It's a good idea. You're welcome. You're welcome. Have a nice day. Thanks, Chris. See you in some room. Thanks. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you in some room. See you. See you. See you. See you. See you. You're going to be able to get equal. So all of their incentives by all of these companies are going to be in the first category. Let's say, how long? Let's say, how long? Watch me tell you.  Your entire week can be ruined. Your entire week can be ruined with a loss. It's actually nice stuff. I'll talk to you about this later. Oh, someone got a spot. James O. got a spot about 20 minutes ago. Anybody want to take a crack at this? So now the filler would be $13.99. I think I should put it into a filler. I think 20 minutes, plenty of time. Well, James actually got two spots earlier today too. So let's work on that. We'll bring back an old filler favorite, which would be the pack of 2019-2020 Mosaic basketball. Maybe this will... I know it's a little quiet in the chat now, but maybe this will get that break across the finish line. We've got to do at least one more thing before we call it tonight, right? Sub-Oliver, antique collegiate, R&B spot giveaway. This is Mosaic pack break number 399. At the end of the break, we'll run by the names, top two names. We'll get a random number of blocks spot for N.T. Magic basketball. That is going to be... $13.99, which is a price that I'm sure everyone can afford, at least one spot. I don't know why that still says there's two here. It says zero in stock on my end, so I suppose that'll update. There you go. All right, so I pulled the two remaining teams out, baked into the cost of this pack, divided it by the 30 spots. $13.99 is spot, and that'll fill up that N.T. break. So that's a pack of 2019-2020. Mosaic basketball, we'll do the pack break as if it was a normal break, and at the end, we'll re-randomize everybody's names. In top two, we'll get a random number block spot for N.T. Collegiate basketball, the one that's currently, says, sold out on the site. And that sells out the break. So I know there's not a lot of... I know there's not a lot of... what should we call it? Not a lot of spots were given away. But the entry price point is a lot... it's a lot cheaper. Or is what open? All right, Melissa Turner says, hey, why not? Let's give it a shot, try to win my way in. And there's no other full spots, and that's, I guess this is technically, it's the only filler, but it's the last filler. Would love to do this tonight, this would be a great way. Listen, we're in the last 45 minutes of the show, and I think it'd be a really great way to... if this, I mean, we obviously have time to do more, but if this ends up being the only thing we do tonight, I think that would be a great way to end the night. Now, I can't watch YouTube videos and stream at the same time. I think our stream just takes up way too much bandwidth on this computer, but that being said, you should go and watch the first half. Does anyone remember the first half? Was any good? No disrespect. I don't mean that much disrespect to the people who were in the first half, but I'm kind of hoping it wasn't very good, because that means there's a better odds for that second half to be a lot better. Nice, and James O, who's been buying full spots, just picked up five spots in the filler. Okay, all of her watching, all of her saying first half was okay. That gives me more hope that the second half will be a lot better. That's not always the case, but it's usually the case, especially in higher-end sets like this. So 24 left. So, listen, at this time of night, we need everyone to step up right now to build that momentum. People like to say, I'll wait until it gets closer, but that was what I was saying last night, and the only way we filled that break last night was because there were people buying spots now and not waiting until later. Like the first third of the break, the first 10 spots, those are our starters. We need some starters right now. Then we need middle relievers to get the middle 10 spots. Then that leaves us with 10 left. Those are our closers to finish off the break. So Melissa and James are being starters. We need to get that down into the teens, basically. That's what we need our starters to do. Then we can finally get our middle relievers on board, and then we can activate the closers. By then, we should fly off the shelves, right? By the time we get down to the final third. That's when the closers can activate. So if you want to get that collegiate break done tonight, let's get that pack done now. Pretty good entry point, too. Even if it's just one, you don't need to buy five spots like James. It would be nice, but you don't have to. One spot, $13.99. And if everybody activates there, then we should be able to do it. You know, we saw what Sal did yesterday. He bought some spots, the next thing you know. He bought some spots where there were only like three or four people in the stream. Right now, 11 people are watching. That usually means more people are on the website itself. Alright, we got about 21 people watching, or 21 people active on the website itself. We got some people in Southern California. I see Washington State. I see Minneapolis. Kansas. Chicago. New Berlin. West Bloomfield. We got South Carolina. We got Central Florida. Pennsylvania. Queens. Albany. New Haven. Some east coasters staying up late with us. Any other, yeah, some spots, more spots in the Midwest. We got Hawaii checking in. We've got a viewer in Taiwan. So these are all people on the website. There's usually more people on the website than there are actively watching the stream. That's usually the case. Not everyone's watching the stream all the time, but they are always checking on their phones or at home or whatever. Like, hey, what's selling out at Jaspies? They're scrolling through their phones. JaspiesCaseRates.com. They're monitoring the site, and if they start to see spots left numbers tick down every other minute that they're refreshing, and then they're like, oh shoot, this is going to happen tonight, this is a biased spot, that keeps it going, then they're popping into the chat to see this break go off. So if you're hearing the sound of my voice, we got to activate those people, the people that aren't listening to the sound of my voice. Right? If you're hearing the sound of my voice, you got to get a spot or two just so the people that are active on the website who are viewers on the website, not just on the stream, but viewers on the website will see that, hopefully they'll see that, and then they'll start buying some spots, they'll start checking into the break, and then hopefully Breaksville on this break right here. So that's kind of my final pitch of the night. We're at the 20 minute mark right now. We could get this going by the bottom of the hour. I'll probably give it to the 45 minute mark, maybe even closer to the top of the hour, depending on how much action there's happening. That's happening here, but let's get things going. I did see a couple dots in Indiana checking in. One in West Bloomfield and another one, another dot in Indiana. That might be you Rex. So help me out, help yourself out, put me to work before we call it night, ladies and gentlemen, thank you. According to Oliver, first half was just okay. Which more often than not, you know, means that the second half should be better. Should I at least pop that open and see what's in there. That's four spots. So Melissa has four, five spots total. James has five spots total. Now they're doing some work here, but they can't be the only two buying spots. That's not how group breaks work. We need more of a bigger group to join these group breaks. So they're waiting on you, ladies and gentlemen. This break can happen tonight if you want it to. What's going on? What are we waiting for? So that's not sold out. Don't lie to me, guys. All right, Rex buys two spots. That's not enough. Oliver buys two spots. Oh, I guess people... Oh, James bought five spots. All right, Oliver, Rex, James putting in work. Sorry, I was debating with I was debating with Chris Jaspy on the Instagram stream. For like 15 minutes, that's not been sold out for 15 minutes. That's a lie, Oliver. Because C. Jim Monroe has closed it out and that was only six minutes ago. Don't lie to me, guys. Don't lie to me. Six minutes is not 15 minutes. Might have felt like 15 minutes. But in reality, it was not. All right, thanks everybody. Thanks for your patience. With James's patience, six minutes feels like 15 minutes. Well, when I made my sales pitch, it seemed like no one was going to do anything. So I wandered off to go talk to Chris about the fact that there are... Where are the good American golfers? Oliver? Where are they? Men's and women's side? Boring. No offense to American Allison Corpus, who won the U.S. Women's Open. But that's not the person we wanted to win the U.S. Open. Boring. She's boring. She seems like a nice woman, but boring. You know, a Rose Zang win would have been... I didn't say she was a bad person, Oliver. She just wasn't the the personality we needed to win the U.S. Open. What about... You got anybody... Wyndham Clark? Winning the U.S. Open? I guess. No one wants other Korean women winning it again. Minji Lee, who won last year, she's technically a New Zealander or an Australian. Pebble Beach? Watching that is always fun. I watched the golf, but I was just... That's what I was talking to Chris about. Where are the good American tennis players? Ricky Fowler finished second. No third. He should have won that U.S. Open. Wyndham Clark? Hi everyone, Joe from jaspeaskasewrakes.com coming at you with 2019-2020 Panini Mosaic Basketball Pack Break No. 3 and 99. Sounds like a tax form. Turning your 399... Be sure to file your 399s. Big thanks to this group for making it happen. There are the teams right there. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. One in a six, seven times each. Different dice roll for the giveaway part, as always. I know it's unfair to ask for the next Tiger Woods for American Golf. The next Pete Sambres or Andre Agassi for tennis. But where are those guys? We had the William Sisters, thankfully, on the women's tennis side. Someone in the Instagram stream was saying Jordan Spieth was supposed to be kind of that guy. He's tailed off a bit, though. Tiger Sun? No love for Francis Tioffo? But Tioffo, U-Banks is playing better than Tioffo. Tioffo himself said he played awful. Alright, there's the first half of the list right here. There's a second half of Marty Fish. Marty Fish is always a good story when the pro-ams roll around. And there's a second half of this right there. And then you have the broadcast saying a zillion times how Marty Fish used to play tennis and now he plays golf. That was Marty Fish, right? Played pro tennis, now he plays a little pro golf here and there. We need like, we need Michael Block. We need Blocky. But someone who actually wins. We need the vibe of Blocky. And a guy that's winning majors. Or in the hunt regularly. Alright, I think we'll hear about some SGA that's not really... Gold? Nice, that's not bad. Furcon Corkmoss, 3 out of 10. That's what he does. Choose the 3. I've seen him come into games for the Sixers and drain like four or five threes in like 15 minutes. That goes to Oliver and the Sixers. There you go, Oliver. Corkmoss. And we got a rookie, Rui Hachimura. Getting a nice little deal with the Lakers. Looks good at the playoffs. We'll continue to develop there. This is Wizards edition going to James. Alright. So not too bad now. Let's see who's going to win spots in this break right over here coming up in the next video. The per spot cost of this break pretty inexpensive but it's only the top two that are going to win. Alright, so Top two will win spots in the NT Collegiate. Let's roll it. Let's randomize that list. 3 out of 3, 6 the hard way. Top two after 6. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. Fingers crossed, good luck everybody. Lot of sad faces here. The saddest face in spot 3. The so close but yet so far. Melissa, sorry. But I appreciate you and everyone getting in for making this late night rally happen. I appreciate it. But only the top two can advance to the next round. And that's going to be James and CJ. There you go. Congrats to the both of you. We'll see you in the next video for the break itself. Jaspy's casebreaks.com. Bye bye. Alright, thanks everybody for rallying around this one. We'll put Moz 399 next to your names right there. So you know it's from the same case or from that break. Now, let's upload this video. Yeah. Sorry y'all. Thanks for trying, Oliver. But the Cork Moz I like the Cork Moz. Who knows? Maybe Cork Moz, I don't think Hardin's going to be on that team. Maybe he gets more minutes somewhere. They've traded some guys away. I don't think Cork Moz was traded away. So that might open the door for some more minutes for him to uncork some more 3-pointers. Could he develop into like a Duncan Robinson type or something like that? You never know. That does sound right. I advise you, Rex, I encourage you to hit that support button and you could lodge your complaint there about that issue of your names not being CJ or James. We'll be sure to give that its due course. Hi everybody, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com 2022-23 Panini National Treasures Collegiate Basketball 2 box random number block break number 2 Big thanks to this group for making it happen. Thanks to the people who bought their spots straight up and congrats again to the people who won spots in the filler we did. There are the numbers right there. Let's roll it. Let's randomize names in numbers 5 and a 3 8 times. 1 4 5 6 7 and 8. We got Louis down to James after 8 5 and a 3 8 times for the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 9 6 6 7 8 7 8 7 7 8 7 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8


So, well, welcome here. Thank you for coming. This is my speech about pushing writer to its limits and see how does it behaves. This is more than a speech. This is just, let's say, a workshop, meaning that feel free to interrupt me and to contribute and to tell your experiences or whatever you want during this kind of presentation. First of all, let me say that part of my job is editing and preparing technical manuals for industrial machines and, to be honest, also military ones. This means that those manuals are kind of from 300 to 600 pages manuals. So it's quite a challenge to do them, but it's part of my job again. And the funny thing is that I have written black and white on the contract that I want to use LibreOffice, no way, because they wanted me to use a word, but I told them, no way. I have my tool. I use my tool. And if you want my work, you like my work, you have to accept that. At the end, they just want the PDF. And so it's my choice how to prepare that PDF. Said that, yes, I told you that, and it ends on and so on. Then this is the agenda, not updated, to be honest, because I have did something right now and I forgot to update the agenda. So let's go direct and straight to the issues. You know that when you have to do such a manual, really, often you have to include images, pictures. And on most of them, you have to put many call out indicating what the various items are. Imagine that they can have pictures of this room and I want to say, this is a chair, that's a camera, that's a computer, that's Svante. So I have all those call outs indicating, pointing to the various items describing them. What happens is that when you create those call outs and put on the image, they stay there until you save the document. Then when you reopen back that document, not always, but most of the times it happens. I don't know why and when. I mean, now and then it happens that those call outs go behind the picture. And the fact is that if a part of the call out is outside the picture, you may still see it and bring it back to the front. But if you don't see it at all, just like happens many times, you may forget that you have put that there. And so you may publish the document without that call out. That's why I have to give a name to every single object, which is a maniacal job, but I'm almost autistic in that. But jokes apart, it's the way for me to at the end of the job, at the end of the manual, double click on every single object to see if they appear. Because otherwise, I could lose some of them. In this case, I don't know if you can see here. It's just one pixel, but I wanted to enlarge here. As you can see, this is the zoom of this picture. This is the picture. Those are 1, and 2, and 3, and 4 call outs hidden. And this is how they are hidden. And thanks God, in this case, I could see at least a part of them. But most of the times, you can't see them at all. So what you have to do is, one by one, every single image, click with the right button and arrange, send it to back. And this way, the image goes back and the call outs come to front.   So I have to pick up the arrow, define a frame, let's say, and capture that object. In that way, I can all otherwise pressing tab on the keyboard. But the result is not that implied, because I don't know which is the order of the objects that Brighter gave to the document. So pressing tab could bring to the object, I presume. I want to go or could skip another part of the document. I don't know. Yes, please? Yeah, sure. Yes? I know that. But this is simple to say when you have a few objects, but you have thousands of them. Trust me, it's not that simple. And also, not always works, but most of the time. There is some issue also there, please. Oh, wait. There is a microphone for you. No, just because of the recording, you know? Maybe if you group the images, they stay in the same place, in the relative place, one over the other. Have you tried it? To be honest, I can't remember. Maybe I tried, but I'm not sure. I forgot to mention that I used to do this kind of job, let's say, not regularly, not every day, because they commit to me to make a manual, so maybe I work on that for three months, two months, four months, whatever. Then I finish, I deliver, and that's finished. And maybe for six months, I don't do this anymore. So all the speeches at the workshop is based on my memories, because the last one I did anonymize and I'm using for this workshop was delivered on August, well, July, and a small modification in August. So I mean, they're past a lot of time, and I'm not sure to remember all those things. But by the way, and I would first see all the issues, and maybe if we have still time, we could do another round, putting the hands on and trying with the document open, because I have it too. Then again, about those call outs. This is how the final, it is anonymized, obviously. I had to sign 12 pages of NDA for this document, so I can't reveal anything about that. But this is more or less the layout of the document at the end, or part of the document, obviously. So imagine this is the picture of the machinery, and those are the call outs. What happened here is that, as you can see here, there is the anchor, and this call out, in this case, was anchored to this paragraph. This wasn't wanted mostly, but it's not that easy to have another kind of behavior. What I mean is that the ideal situation would be to have kind of this anchor to the image itself, which is not possible because it is not a paragraph. You could link it to the page as an absolute position, but then you may have kind of modifications. There are solutions. I mean, I have to say, it's how many hacks you could do, but work around, thank you. That was the word I was looking for. But it would be interesting and nice to have the possibility to put the anchor here and then move the object without moving the anchor. Kind of holding, let's say, alt or control alt, whatever, a shortcut combination on neutral keys while you drag the object that prevents the anchor from moving. Because what I have to do today is bring the object here to have the anchor here, then click on the properties of the object, right click, and then specify mentally numbers, five centimeters, five and 20, five and 25. Then I take note of that because I have to reapply the very same thing to this one, for example. And that's what I used to do. You laugh, but trust me, is nightmare can become a nightmare, but this is nothing. The worst is the Z-order I mentioned before because imagine that when I finalized the document, you know, the 400 pages and I have to export in PDF, it takes me for those issues, first of all, the Z-order one, hours. Also because we'll see later every exportation takes kind of a quarter or half hour. Let's see, let's move on. So it would be nice to lock somehow the anchor somewhere and then drag the object without moving the anchor. An option could be when you insert a caption to a picture, what LibreOffice Writer does is create a frame and within it puts the image and the caption itself with a specific style. But it is not always possible all, how does it, willing to have. Indeed, in this case, you have a table. So having a frame or we did in a table, I would avoid, let's say that. And especially if you don't have a caption because you don't need it in that situation, that page, I mean, it would be just an overload of objects in that part of the document. Just for the purpose of locking the anchor, I would, I find it too much, by the way. It could be an option otherwise put some in some dialogue to enable or disable the following of the anchor, I don't know. Then, thanks to Mike Aganski, who was so kind to be with me for the whole morning and check all of this stuff, check all of these slides and issues. And he found this bug. This is a link, so it's clickable in the final file. What happens here is that the image goes beyond the margin of the page. And he showed me also work around, so it's not that bad, I mean. But somehow it's something that could be not desirable because from my point of view, the margin is something that you cannot violate. Because for example, in this case, there is the footer and has been covered by the image and it's caption. This case, the frame I mentioned before. This is cross-referred, this is not a bug. It's just, could we solve somehow, not solve, I mean, could we find a nicer way to handle this, but maybe the answer is not. It's just a small issue, I have to, not an issue, to be honest. By the way, I'll tell you. I forgot to mention that when you, at least when I have to work with so huge documents, again, about, in this case, they were 412 pages, it would be a nightmare to have just one single file. And we'll see how and why, because it becomes really slow and really heavy the file. So my recommendation and what I do is split it in several files, usually one per chapter, and then join them into one ODM document master. And that's what I do. But what happens is that somehow and really often you have to refer and put cross-references between different chapters, for example. In this case, this was a troubleshooting. So you have the travel, you have the action to do and then the card, because in this case there are the maintenance cards. And so I had to link to the card, which is on another chapter, so another file. So what I do is force LibreOffice Writer to insert a custom cross-reference. I just insert the name I decided before on the other file. It doesn't list it on that file because it's on the other. So it just inserts because I force it to do, but it's fine, I mean, and that's the way I found and I found also as a kind of documentation to do. I insert this cross-reference and it gives an error, which is right because that cross-reference is not on that file, not on that document, correct? So it's correct to have an error, no problem with that. But what happens is that this error in this case kind of destroys temporarily the layout because at the end this will be just in this case, C027, for example, while at this moment it is correct to have the error, but the cell becomes this tall, you know, and all of them. So imagine that a chapter of maybe 30 pages becomes 50 pages just because of all those errors, which is fine. So talking with Mike, he told me that those cross-references can't have the path of the other file just because indeed when you merge all those files within the OGM, they become virtually just one document. So it is not an external at the end. But because otherwise you could include the path of the other file here in the cross-reference and you may have a function that just checks quickly in the other file if it exists and removes the error. But then will be a problem when you assemble all the files, all the documents. But could be an option to have a code that handle these, removing those path when they assemble all the files. Then I don't know the solution, I'm just showing which are my issues when I work on those huge files. Yeah, otherwise I must say that also this error is really useful to me because at the end of the work I do search for errors because I may have been mistaken. I mean this is not a real error just because I told you it is an external file, okay. But sometimes I do mistakes just like all human beings. And so I need at the end to search for this error. So I need this error because I do look for them. But this is again something I can't do within LibreOffice Writer because if I look for error it won't find this because this is a field and not a text. So either we have a search for fields and there is an extension to do that and I used to use it. Or implementing a function to search for broken links. Or both of them, I mean, okay. This is our suggestion obviously. You may have better ideas to how to solve this. Again, not an issue but this thing. And we come to the tables which is probably, I don't know how to translate it in English. Achille, tallone di Achille. Achille's hill of our beloved writer. In this case you can see that here there is a cell but the border is not there. And if you click here you will see the cursor blinking but if you press F2 to insert a formula for example which is something you could do usually in a cell of a table, you can't. Because so it looks like it is a cell but it is not some strange behavior. And then this is another interesting thing I would like to. When you have merged cells, especially vertically ones, it may happen that if they are long they are split between two pages in this screenshot. This is just one, this is page prac and continuous here. Being just one cell, the text is in the middle of the cell because I decided that way and it's fine. But given that it is split between two pages, would be nice to have it repeated here just to avoid losing the context. Just a suggestion, I mean I don't know if it's doable or not or is it simple or not. As I told you maybe in other occasions, I used to be a developer but not anymore at least. I can't define me developer if compared to the ones here. Sorry? What? Oh, yes, assembly, yeah, sure. 80, Z80. Let me go further. Oh, this is another interesting thing. The table of, yeah, okay, I think it's a contact. And table of contents is, usually they don't give such a headaches because you have a short document just to create the table of contents. But again, imagine that I assemble this 400 pages. And the table of content itself could be 20 pages, 15 pages, for example. What happens is that while it creates the table of contents, its own dimension, its own size, lets the remaining content shift down. So imagine that it states the chapter one is at page four. But when the table of contents is finished, it's 15 pages, now it's not anymore at page four. Maybe it's, now chapter one is at page 19, for example. Just because of the table of contents, so what you have to do is to do two passes per each because each of those table of contents will grow. And you may say, yes, but this is just once. No, but because when you use ODM files, every, at least to me, every time I open the file, those are empty. So every time I have to update, and there is a specific function under the tools menu, update indexes and tables, I didn't have the chance to check if the solved the problem because this is something that this morning Mike told me to be honest, I didn't notice this function. And what I used to do is click one by one with the right button and update index, update index, update index, update index. And again, four times because I have all of those four table of contents. Olivier. No, I think that if... Okay, okay. Table of contents because you can select what kind of headings you are bringing to the table. Yes, but I'm required to. I mean, the table of contents I do is just because they want me to do that the way. Because otherwise I know that I could have, but anyway, the problem, sorry, appears just when the table of contents is more than one page, because when it shifts down the content by just one page, which means that the table of contents is two pages, for example, it brings back wrong values. And on the second round it corrects them. And what happened to me in the past was that I forgot, for example, to do these two rounds and the PDF was wrong, meaning that you may have been clicking on one, you know that the table of contents are hyperlinks, you know. So you may click on one chapter, for example, and it pointed to a wrong page. And they told me this PDF is not working. And I told them it's impossible, I know that they work. Then I understood why and I learned to do these two times. Oh, sorry. Because I use master documents for the guides, and I can tell you that the updates of the PDF and the links of the table of contents on PDFs has been fixed by Michael Stahl about a year ago, and the PDF now is perfectly linked to the right page. Well, I trust you. It may be my fault, but I tell you why. The very first bug I show you, the call out issue, brought me to, and not only that, brought me to use a specific version of LibreOffice under Windows. Because I don't know why, but that version under Windows, which I hate, behaves much better. Let's say that at least I'm able to solve doing that what I told you. Because otherwise, I don't know why, but under Linux, even if I, without the file open, I go there and right click on the document, on the image and send it back, back, back, back, then I save and I prepare the PDF under Linux, doesn't work, I don't know why. That one, that bug. So, and also the scrolling of the pages, and generally speaking the calculation times, I don't know why, but the Windows are a little bit faster. So, that brought me to use a specific version of LibreOffice, maybe old, not maybe surely old, because that works. And I stick to that because otherwise I lost my, now and then I try to use a newer version, but recently I did and I had to go to roll back to the previous version because I had such an issues. So, probably this is solved and I, so this is, wait, this is not any up to date, but by the way, I'm happy to hear this. And by the way, it's not that simple in any case because it's kind of chicken and egg, because you know, the table of contents shifts the contents and so on. I mean, it's not that simple at all. This is not a bug, just a measurement. When I imagine that I work for months on those documents and I prepare chapter one and two and three and whatever, at the end I have to finalize. And this usually takes me two or three days. And one of the reasons is, the reasons are, all the things we have seen right now, all the issues we have seen until now, and also this one. Okay, let me say this and then imagine that these are the timing for opening, saving and rendering the PDF, sorry. And rendering PDF is good one. And on my PC, which is on Intel i5 10th generation, opening the ODM, okay, just the ODM, takes 48 seconds, but the reality is that you can't use this measure under Linux, not under Windows because I was there. You can't use it for real unless it finished its layouting and routines and so on. And this takes two minutes and 10 seconds. That document. Saving takes 32 seconds. Just the ODM, not the single files. But rendering the PDF takes 13 minutes and half, and four more seconds to get back the interface of LibreOffice usable. But imagine that I finalized the PDF and then I realized that there was an error. That's why I usually scroll all the PDF and take note of all the errors, possibly, and I correct them once at all, and then I render again the PDF. But you can imagine that at least three or four times, maybe five times, I have to render because I'm a human, I can not see something. And that hours. And for the more, and then I come to the question. Sometimes it happens that I realize that I made a mistake before the exportation in the rendering finish, and I can't stop it. So I have to wait for it to finish. Yeah, it's frustrating, trust me. And yes, proposal, we were trying to reason about those behavior with Mike, and I know that is not that simple. Let's say that what I wanted to offer, let's say, is a particular figure, not unique, I'm sure, but maybe not that common, because I am a power user of the word processing, in this case, LibreOffice writer, but it used to be a developer. So I don't know the details and all the mechanisms that are behind the behavior of LibreOffice writer, but at least I can guess them and I can understand them if someone like Mike do explain them to me. So I'm not the kind of user who pretends something is impossible to realize or asking for something, you know, the moon. So we, I told him, wouldn't it be possible, for example, to speed up the layouting and maybe the rendering of PDF to split the document in chunks and he said, no, it's not possible. And I stopped him telling, wait, there are the hard page breaks. When you insert the hard page break, somehow you reset, meaning that from that point on, you can consider document kind of another chunk. This is not fully true and he explained me why, but it could be an option to do this way and render in parallel such chunks of the document and then at the end, have a kind of a check if everything is fine or not and have, how to say, a round of verification, validation of the rendering. But in most cases, maybe that nothing breaks and you may have achieved a parallel tasking, a parallel layouting of the document. Please. So it's more a message than a question from Timur. We have a site asked LibreOffice to first discuss a solution to a problem and a tool, Bugzilla, to search if bug is reported or to report it if not. Advanced usage of LibreOffice for complex docs is a good opportunity to see if we have all covered in Bugzilla and that's the best way to start resolving. If we talk about thousands of bugs we uncutured on, it will be hard to follow. This is the first in an after-sale point remark from Bogdan, Gabrielle should use new version as portable. There were improvement in speed in latest versions. Oh, the portable idea is a good one and I could go for it indeed because I may have more than one installed and try them in parallel indeed, which is something that otherwise in Windows, for example, is not that simple. There used to be a tool to SU something, I can't remember. By the way, thank you for the suggestion and about Timur, yes, he is right, but if you go seeking for open bugs about tables in Writer, they're kind of hundreds. And I love you guys, but I have a job, I have a family and I can't waste all my time to chase bugs. I say, I do my best and sometimes I try to do that, but I also have something else to do. At least I try to reporting these kind of things somehow, which is again, I don't want to consider myself this guru of Writer, but I can also bet that not so many people use as Writer in a so heavy way, in a so extended way and in power. And again, being also a former developer, so having kind of formamentis mindset who can somehow understand and try to understand the behavior of the software instead of just complaining. Let's go on. Unless you unlock, well, the ODM files, the master files, they used to treat the child files as a child documents, just like sections, external sections of our document and that's fine. And you can unlock them because by default, when you do that, the ODM file, those sections are locked. So if you try editing somehow, it gives you right protected content, cannot be changed. And it's okay, that's fine. And you may unlock it. What I don't know because I just, I didn't, I have to admit that I didn't think to that. This morning Mike told me, but what about unlocking that sections? Oh, you're right. Indeed, and we tried. So in that way, you may modify the document within the ODM because what I used to do is find an error in the ODM, for example, or in the PDF, then open, since it doesn't allow by default to work on that, allow, sorry, open the right document, the right chapter I have to correct, correct it, save it, update the ODM file, okay, and then render or whatever. So you may unlock the section, but I don't know if it's a good idea, meaning that first of all, I don't know what happens if you save because being within the ODM, if you save, I imagine that the ODM file has been saved. I don't know if the child files are going to be saved as well. Maybe I didn't try because again, Mike told me about this option, let's say to unlock the sections. Anyway, wait, I think the rest of the document needs to, no, save in the original file, how long would it take indeed? Because at the end of the game, I have to also to optimize my times. So it's about to understand if it's better. Given that, let's say it saves the child document, it depends on how much time does it take. Maybe it's quicker, I have to try, I have to try, I'm sorry, I didn't. And then I thought also, going back to the way I use it, imagine that I correct something on chapter two, then I go to the ODM file, I ask it to update, it takes an age to do it, it updates, but why does it take an age? Because it renders again the whole document, which is fine. But I was wondering, could it be possible to not render what's not being affected by my modification? Imagine that I just changed the word. So no new lines, no new paragraphs, no shifting, no modification at all for the rest of our 111 pages. Why relay outing all of them just because a single word changed? So that was the question. Again, I may be wrong, and I'm happy to be corrected. Again, it is a workshop, this is not the holy tables. And so, let's move on. If you have something to add, yes please, thank you. I guess here. Well, it's about the previous slide, where you are showing the export times of PDF. I just remembered that for 7.3, there was an attendee about that regard, and I think it was Lubos improve the sporting of PDF. So probably you should try with 7.3, 7.4. This is 7.4. I didn't mention, but it is 7.412, if I'm not wrong. We may check it, it's the version installed in my laptop right now. I see, okay. But thank you. I love to hear such news. I mean, they are always welcome. You know, imagine me. Again, two days, finalizing manuals are two or three days of work. Then there is the autosave issue. When a document gets huge, kind of I had also single files of 40 megabytes, for example, it made to the whole manual, because of pictures and vectors and so on, and we'll see. When you save, you saw it may take half a minute, one minute, maybe more. Then I have to disable the autosave, because otherwise, or I should, let's say, put it once every 30 minutes, I don't know. But the problem is that when it decide, it's much better to me deciding when to save than being interrupted suddenly, just because it's time to save. Which is fine, I mean, nothing against this function. It's not a fault, it's not a bug. But the problem is that when the file becomes huge, it stops and you can't do anything in the meanwhile. And maybe you were doing something sensitive, kind of you may forgot what you were doing. I mean, I'm quite old, so this kind of things happens to me. So, the idea could be having the autosave function in background. It's not that simple, so with Mike, we've been reasoning how to implement that. And I thought, as like Nick around, let's say a kind of a shadow copy of the document. So, you know, you have this shadow, and you save it in background, and in the meanwhile, I could continue my job, my work on the main file, the current file. Or maybe if this shadow is not that easy to achieve, I don't know, maybe I need an idea to have constantly updated two copy of the files. Everything you do is done, let's say, twice, so you have always have a copy of the file. And when it's time to autosave, then one got frozen, and how to say, written to the disk, and you continue to the other copy. And then you have to find some way to resynchronize them, which could be a third copy, and then you destroy the second, and so on. Then I've been told, to me, I don't think it happened, maybe sometimes I can't remember, but I've been told that it also happens that if a file is really huge, and imagine a PPTX of 400 megabytes, they exist, yes, they exist, and you want to clean them up, because you know and you see that there are elephants. But, oh, I see 40 minutes here on my clock, 40 minutes. By the way, imagine that you want to clean up them. The problem is that you can't do it because the autosave starts, and before the autosave finish its work, another autosave, let's say, call starts, and so you can never work on the document, but I've been told this. Probably I've been experiencing, but not so much because I'm not such a, how to say, intense user of Impress. Then this is about the navigator. I love the navigator. I find that this is the killing feature that distinguish writer from word or other products. I love it, definitely. This is something that I couldn't make without. And I told you that I, just like a maniac, I name every single object just because I have to check that they are all visible at the end.  So the suggestion is to have kind of auto naming which is already in place, but something little bit smarter and possibly more configurable with some kind of parameter. For example, my, I have a convention for naming convention where images starts with yeah, IMG obviously. And when I do add caption to the pictures, it creates a frame would be nice. For example, my convention is FRA underscore and the name of the picture. So you will see here FRA, F-R-A underscore, IMG or one time, okay? But it could be interesting to have such a behavior automatic. So every time I add a caption to a picture, for example, it creates a frame and it gives a sensible name. What else? Yeah, sometimes, but I can't reproduce easily. Sometimes it happens that if you double click on an object on the navigator, it brings you to that object, not the opposite, meaning that you click on the object and not always, I can't tell you when, but not always the navigator goes to that object highlighting it, not always. Again, it's not that simple to reproduce because those documents are huge. Oh, I forgot to do this, sorry. Compressing any pictures at once. This is a really nice feature, when you insert a picture, maybe from a camera, it could be kind of 14 megapixel and those 10 megabytes, for example, and especially people who is not used to the word processing, they leave them that way, which is what brings the document to be an elephant. While when you have decided the size on the page of the picture, and that's final, you can use this compressed feature, which is great, really rocks. You just define what's the DPI resolution you want to have, and that's it. What is missing is, as far as I know, an option to do it once for all the images instead of having to do one by one. And this is something that exists in printing press, for example. Then, this is a strange behavior, and given that I don't know how to anonymize vector images, I don't know how to provide a file to test it. What happened is that vector images provided by the customer, probably coming from Autodesk, AutoCAD, and what Mike calls spaghetti vector, because they maybe are too heavy. At the end, what happens is that a single document could be 14 megabytes if I convert them in raster, because I'm forced, or 46 if I leave them as a vector. And in the PDF, it's 250 megabytes versus 60. This is also because I've seen that if you, for example, use the very same vector, many times, it is included many times in the file. While I know that, thanks to Mike, that raster images, they calculate a hash. Wait, okay. Okay, oh, thank you, oh, sorry. They calculate a hash, and so if the software sees that it is the very same picture, it doesn't include many, many times. But with a vector, it is not a fact that we will see later, later, soon. Not mentioning how slow it becomes to scroll the page when you have vectors on the page. It comes a lot, this way, kind of, trust me. Always on I5 and whatever. So the question is, what about a pre-rendering image? I mean, we know that this is a vector. I'm fine, I'm happy. I wanted to have the vector because of the quality. But when I work in the document, you can also replace a raster. And to be honest, I've seen on the file that it creates a raster as well. By the way, we'll see. And, nothing else? Yeah, what? Sorry. Yeah, I understood. So what? Yes, yes. Hello? Works. Works, works. So what exactly do you mean by the vectors?  Okay. Usually, for example, let's say SVG, but mostly WMF, which is not a format I love, but I saw that that's the best way to import vector. Meaning that there is no time to show it now if you wish we can do it outside. But by the way, sometimes importing vectors, SVG especially, into writer, some of the objects of the vector becomes blue. Our beloved sun blue. And yes, and thus I found that saving it in WMF and then re-importing that way is much better. So I meant this kind of vector, not what you draw. Yeah. As you can see here, to avoid these, because you have seen I had that 250 megabytes of PDF, I had to solve somehow because the customers were telling me it's unsustainable. I can't deliver 250 megabytes of PDF. Come on. So I tried to find a solution and one of them was to link those images instead of embedding. Because in that way, I have just one file once external and not many times the very same file. So the improvement here could be to, the reason option in the general options to specify if you want link the images to be the path to be relative of absolute and you may choose there, could be an option to have, this is per single file, could be an option to have per single link, or both I mean. And this is a demo document I've just done 10 minutes ago with, oh sorry, yes, this is a vector, vector. And these, I can't remember, maybe this is a raster. By the way, you can see here that those two are repeated. I mean, this is the vector, this is the vector again. And this is a very same picture. To be honest, I did copy and paste. So I did not insert two times the picture, I just did copy and paste. And it is included two times. And then we can see here the path of the file which is relative in this case, okay. One minute. Yep, but I think I've finished. Yes, I did, I have. Then finally, how to anonymize documents. I've seen a specific wiki page if I'm not wrong. By the way, there is a procedure to anonymize documents. And it suggests to use a macro. Can't remember the name, but I have saved it in the directory. And they say you should open your document, select all, you know, control A, copy, create a new document with the macro inside, paste, and then run the macro. But first of all, in this way, you lose the page formatting because you create a new document. So the page style, the default one, not the one you used, and so the layout is gone. Then you have this macro which at the end replace all letters with X, okay. Which is not optimal also because in regular writing, they are not all X. So you may have I, which is thinner. So the occupation of the text on the layout is not the same. So the layout goes away anyway. And at the end, I found that just doing the search and replace with the regular expression slash capital S does exactly the same thing without having to include a macro which prompts you every time you open the document. Hey, there is a marker. Do you wish to run it? So, yeah. Please, what about images? How to anonymize images? That's a problem, open to you. This is my solution, but it's not that convenient. Pack the file, convert and repack the file. So thank you for listening.

Is it your misfortunes and none of my own?  You know that the ferry will be on your home. And now for the thrilling adventure, Lightning Jim and the Mad Killer Dirt. A stave coast rumbled along the stave trail as a masked rider suddenly came out from behind a protecting boulder. Yeah, sure. Get on off of that coach. Sure. And don't try to reach for them six you'll get caught in partner. Well, you're wasting your time, Mr. I ain't carrying no passengers in no cash. Well, ain't that too bad? Lovely, doggie. Howdy, Slim. Don't recognize you with that mask on, stranger. Don't remember me, huh? Well, take a look. Killer Dirt. Yeah, Killer Dirt. Nice, thank you. Sure. I thought you was in jail, doggie. I was. Busted loose, huh? Yeah, two days ago. But you was lucky, Slim. Lucky? Sure. When Lightning Jim and that sweet deputy trapped us in that gold mine, you was on the outside and got clear. Yep, yeah, I got away. Yeah, Marshall figured he'd broke up the dirt gang.  Yeah, yeah, but what are you aiming to do? Get Lightning Jim. Get Lightning Jim? Yeah, and you're going to help me, Slim. Now, hold on, Dirt. I ain't taking a hand in that game. What's the matter, you gone sharp? Yeah, maybe so. When Lightning Jim broke up the gang, I came north and got this job driving the stage. I've been going straight. Right. That's a good one.  Lightning Jim is your own affair, and you've got to leave me out of it.  You know why they call me Killer Dirt? Oh, that's a story. That may be just shooting mine, I'll help you change your mind. Hey, wait, don't, don't, don't. I got playin' my game or do I dread you? Well, sure, I'm with you, Dirt. That's better. And remember, one wrong move and I'll dread you clean. Sure. Well, you're taking the stage. In the next town is Mountain Valley, then on up to Fort Anderson. Fort Anderson, eh? That's where Lightning Jim heads in, ain't it? Yeah, but I'm telling you, when you start out to get Lightning Jim, you're fooling with dynamite. Dynamite, eh? Well, that's an idea. Well, I don't have to tell you, he's the fastest drawin' umbra on the plane. Well, he ain't gonna get the chance to draw. I'll go and sell that trap for him. Yeah. Killer Dirt's trap. The criminals and best parables of the Old West both feared and respected the reputation of United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple. But Killer Dirt was no ordinary outlaw. He was a savage, half-crazed, cold-blooded killer obsessed with a desire for revenge against Lightning Jim. We joined the Marshal and his deputy, Whitey Larson, at their headquarters at Fort Anderson. It seems like he's over for a get-go, didn't it? What? Yeah. Oh, that's so. Well, that's good news, Whitey. Yeah. Huh? I'm sorry, Whitey. I was just thinking about something else. Yeah. Well, that looks like some work for us. Yeah, right, and so. Get the horses, Whitey. We're going up to see the sheriff at Bardville. Well, we'll follow the state's sail up past Willow Crick and, most likely, we'll be running into it. Oh, he ought to hear that spirit. I want to hear that poppy doggy and the sooner the quicker. Oh, get tongueed. When you talk to me in front of people, my name's Smith. Same, Smith. Get it? All right. Taking out passengers. They can show. Any cash? Nope, not this trip. Going to Fort Anderson, huh? Hey, wait. Looks like one of our passengers is coming now. Pardon me, gentlemen. Which one of you is the state driver? Right here, Mr. Smith. What can I do for you? How soon is the state going out? About an hour. Where are you going? Going to Fort Anderson. Come in on the stage ahead of you, but he broke down. They told me I'd be riding with you. Sure. Well, this is a camera, mister. A camera? What do you do with it? Take a picture. Yeah, I heard you didn't picture machines. Hey, how did you work? Well, I got her all loaded. If that thing shows... Oh, sure. It shows pictures. That's very funny, mister. Yeah. I thought so, too. You see, all you do is just point it like this. Don't point that thing at me. It won't hurt you, mister. I just want to take the pictures. Don't shoot. Listen, Greenhorn, don't you ever point that contraption at me again.  I get you, mister. Oh, boy. Come on, Rita. Get out. All right. Come on, Puff. Come back here.  Stop it. Come here. Get out of here.  Why, he's only your puppy. He wouldn't bite you. You have no right to kick him. Well, any dog that bosses with me is going to get kicked and if that ain't enough, I'll drill him and make sure he don't. Oh, no, you don't. Do try to shoot that dog and see what happens. Why? Hold on, folks. Ain't no use losing your temper over a dog. Oh, stop it. Do you hear me? If you want that dog to live, you better be kind. A driver, come over to the Jason house before you pull out. You know that man, driver? Sure. He's all right. You've got to trigger a temper and I reckon he don't take much to dogs. Don't worry about him. Well, he had no right to kick the dog just because he bombed. That's what I say, ma'am. Why, he was going to shoot my head off just because I wanted to get his picture. Can you imagine that? My colleague, he ought to be in jail. That's what. Where are you folks going? Fort Anderson. Well, I say, that's where I'm going. Glad I'm going to have company. Charlie Carr is my name. But the boys out here call me Chicago Charlie because that's where I live. They're glad you know you're Mr. Carr. How are you, ma'am? Howdy. So you had a fight with Ed Bulley, too, and... I sure did. I think he's mighty handy with the shooting iron.  Who's that? Lightning Jim Whipple, the United States Marshal. Do you know Lightning Jim? Do I know him? Say, him and me as old friends. Well, that's why I'm going down to Fort Anderson to see him and his deputy, Whitey L. Arson. He starts to urge you to hear that. I sure did. Mr. Reno Lightning and Whitey, too. Small. Yeah, it was Lightning Jim who saved my life. He caught a fellow who killed my brother and wounded me. Yeah, by Charlie, we know him. Well, that sure is a small world. Imagine all this meeting up like we did and finding where all friends are Lightning Jim. Yeah. And me and Parr are going down to Fort Anderson to see them, too. Well, it looks like we're going to have a big reunion. Yeah. Oh, I almost forgot. We're taking this dog to Whitey. Our sweet dog, Jenny, had a little of pups. And I promised Whitey he could have this one. Well, say, he's going to be mighty tickled. So that's a fine puppy. Yeah. He wants to shake hands by Charlie. Pardon me, folks. I've got a little business to do before we pull out. I'll be back in a little while. Yeah, that's all right, mister. I got to take this down to the Liberty Stable anyhow, the team. Well, they're all friends of Lightning Jim. Yeah. What's your last name? I just had me and I do. Yeah? Yeah. I told you, I figured it's going to be a tough one for Lightning Jim. Yeah. Well, I kind of got a nose in these friends of his and I was going to help them. What? You're taking that old man and his daughter and that green one on the stage, ain't you? Sure. Yep. And our first stop is the stage two over to Willow Creek and into Fort Anderson. And north of the creek is Boulder Canyon. Sure. And up in that canyon is the old Boulder Mine. Yep. But it ain't been worked for years. So much the better. Unlikely being nobody around the boundaries. I know. What are you planning to do? I'll be waiting for you at the Willow Creek Bridge. I'm holding up the stage. Yeah. Yeah, the old man in that city just brought the tape in the case. Well, what are you holding up the stage for? I'm taking the girls, Anthony. Oh. What are you going to do with her? Take her up to the Boulder Mine and I'll be leaving tracks of blind man could follow. Oh, yeah? You take the other two I'm raising to Fort Anderson and tell Lightning Jim you were held up and the girl was kidnapped, you understand? Yeah, sure. The Marshal and his deputy will pick up the trail easy and walk right into the trap, see? Now, skirting's still good for them coyotes. It's got a better idea. Yeah? Right now I got to pick up some dynamite. Dynamite? Yeah. When you set a trap for rats, you use teeth. Well, I'm setting a trap for two skunk law badges and I'm using dynamite. This is it. Will Mad Killer Dirt be able to carry out his flock to get Lightning Jim? The exciting climax of this thrilling story will come in part two, which follows immediately. Now for part two of the Lightning Jim adventure, Lightning Jim and the Mad Killer Dirt. The stagecoach that is taking Rita, Adolf and Chicago Charlie to Fort Anderson pulls up at a stage station along the trail. This is the Elm Fork Station, folks. Soon as we change teams, we'll be moving on to Fort Anderson. Let us get out and stretch a bit. Come on, Pop. Guys, I'm stiff as a boy. Yeah. These stagecoaches got hot teeth. Hi, Charlie. Here come two riders. Yeah. Now when you look who it is. Oh, Thunder Boy. Lightning Jim and Whitey. Hi, folks. Yeah, it's good to see you again, my guy. Hold it, boys. Hold it. I want to get your picture. Thunder Rachel Whitey. Will you look who's here? You'll be in a minute. It's called the Shorty. Man, can you picture that? Trying to steal my stuff. Hey, you're shorty. Where do you need to pick up this great care? At Mountain Valley. He did not have no brand on him, so we brought him along. Well, if you ask me, I think Charlie's camera is a pretty good brand. That's right, ma'am. When it comes to bomb yokes, yeah, you take the price, Charlie. Oh, is that so? Now, just for that, I won't take your picture. Right, folks? You'll be in a minute.  My galley look.    Oh, you're just little, I see. There's some tricks. You teach the dog to catch out laws, we won't have to work no more. Well, kid, it isn't as fun as you think like this. This little eagles' mommy, she helped us catch the fella. That's right, ma'am. Then you use the smartest dog I've ever lived by, Charlie. Oh, that's how you can get off, but I can get his daughter a smarter.   Oh, here comes Charlie with his camera. Yes, sir. Lightning, Jim, and Thunder, and Whitey, and his new dogs. Well, kid, that thing says to bed that we are like this. Sure. We'd like a picture like that, wouldn't we, Pa? Oh, sure. There you see. Go on, get on your horses, boys. Oh, come on. All right, come here, Thunder. Come here, boy. Lightning, Thunder's the prettiest piece of horse flesh I ever saw. Oh, he sure is, ma'am. What do you have on a puppy to Whitey? Well, he meant me to hold the dog, but I don't know that, right? Yeah, come here, Pope.  You've got to keep still. I can't see my feet. Now, I'll show you some action, fellas. Pull out your six shoes. All right, Charlie. How's this? Good. Now, Pope, Phil. Why, puppy? Don't worry, Whitey. I got the picture before the dog moves. Oh, I was right. That's fine. Now, wait till you see it. All right, folks, we're ready to go. Oh, hello, my shirt. Howdy, driver. Oh, Lightning. Are you and Whitey going to ride back with us? No, ma'am. Me and Whitey got a little business over at Bardville, much just a few miles from here, and then we're coming back to Fort Anderson. So make yourselves comfortable and take a look around the town till we get back. Yeah, yeah, we will do that, Lightning. Sure. Maybe I'll have the picture developed when you come back. Whitey, Whitey. Can I take the puppy with us? No, I don't think so, Whitey. We've got work to do. She ain't old enough to sail after us yet. Oh, it's good. Thank you, Whitey, for this. You're not going to be a real pale scientist. Oh, my God. Yeah, I think I'm a pretty lucky fellow. Oh, my God. Whitey, so hold up. You're young, a man. I don't know if that's called driving. Take your hands in the air.  Get away, you changed bucket. Oh, please, mister, don't shoot him. Lucky for him, he ran back at them rocks. I'll turn around and face the coach all of us. All right. Well, you ain't carrying guns. I reckon I'll be taking your chance. Listen, mister, that's all the money I got.  You want to get killed? Yeah, you don't want to get killed. Are you too hungry to get your faces to the coach and don't move or I'll gray you? Now, miss, you'll be getting up on that horse of mine. What? Get up on your horse. Yes, and don't try no funny business or I'll gray you and your old man toe. You're getting... You can't do this. You can't do this behind you. Come back here. I'm going up.  No, but you got process pulling the safe coach. You want to hit one of those horses.  That is so safe. You got guns? Well, I reckon he must have forgot him. So he forgot him, huh? Listen, I know who that fella was. He was the fella you was talking with back at Mount Belly. He was the fella that kicked the dog. Yeah, I could not see his face, but I know his voice by going... Ah, you're talking to your hat man. It's that show. It was you and him that landed. You give me that horse and that gunny or I break every bone in your body. Ah, you're some crazy.   Hey, right where you are, mister. I got you covered and I'm shooting if you move a step. Oh, I was right. Good boy, Charlie. Yeah, I hit him on the head with my camera tripod when he wasn't working. Yeah, you knocked him down by golly. He wouldn't give me his guns. So I take them. Say, are you really going after that bandit, Adolf? Ah, you bet. First we get a rope and tie up this poor cat. Yeah, that's right.  I'll take one of the horses and you drive the stage to Fort Anderson and make the lightning pin come back. You tell him that he was held up and he can follow it to the tail. Ah, sure, I'll do that. Say, where's the dog? Oh, I don't know. Maybe she followed after that bandit. Maybe so, but we ain't got no time to worry about that dog now. We got to save Rita. Inside your mind. Is this just a puppy? Well, I don't like George St. She starts barking at me like she's done before. I'll trouble her. She'd better not if she knows what's good for her. Sit down on that rock. Well, if it's money you want. It ain't money I'm after. I'm setting a little stuff for your friend the United States Marshal. You mean lightning, Jim? Yeah, lightning, Jim. You see this package I got? It's a little present for the Marshal. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. And that's the way it happened, Leighton. Gosh, I thought you'd never get here. Charlie, you say the bandit held up the stage at Willow Creek? Yeah. And he took Rita on his horse and went north, north to the creek at Boulder Canyon. Yeah. And A. Dolph took one of the stage horses? Sure. He took the driver's guns and went out after the bandit and Rita. Looks like he's driver watching the Wutlick Outlaw. We take him to the jail Older can you know what I'm going to have to look at them tracks. Yes, he's like that art lover and it's smart. You're going to see to follow his trail. Yeah, he could have gone over the rocks. But if you stay open ground, they're fresh tracks all the way. You can feel you've done that imperfect. Looks like it, buddy. But then maybe this is a trap. Get on, buddy. You behind the clock. That's what seems to be behind the tree over there.  I've got you covered. You've been human, it's just you. Hey, don't shoot. It's me and Harry. Life's been doomed. Thank God you've come. Good thing you spoke up, Adolf. You were ready to shoot it out. You already was too close, Sven. Yeah, it's so dark I couldn't see who it was. I lost the trail. Lightning, we've got to find Rita. Take it easy, Adolf. He'll catch up with that jasper. Can I tell you? Yeah, it's all his everything. Why did you take Rita? Well, that's what we've got to find out. Yeah, but I want you to use it to follow the trail in the dark. Yeah, most likely taking her to a cabin or cave up here in the canyon. Why don't you cross over and drop the far ridge? Adolf, you come with me. Now listen, keep low, be careful. We meet at the north end of the canyon by the waterfall. You're a nice tope like that jigger before we used to get in there. Tell your ex. One moment, I'm talking to you. Yeah, partner. Eh, what's this going up to Bart, Sven? This is, well, that's a good one, Swade. I know who you are, Whitey Larson. Where's your partner, Lakeland Jim? Oh, he's still on there, yes? No, he's next down. Well, I want to save him. Bad. Yes, yes, but you do that for it. You two must have been together, so maybe them shots will bring him here. It seems to be about the place where we heard them shots, Adolf. Yeah, I got it. It looks like a piece. No, Adolf, that's the entrance to an old mine. He's a better for years. But he forgot it was here. Don't move, Adolf. Look, he's got that rock. Yeah, but you think he's... No, the rock saved him. You think he's alone? Can't be sure, yeah. Eh, I know you're shooting it out like this, Jim. I got the griles. And just sweet pepperies. You hear that? He's got Whitey, too. Yeah. You better come out face-to-face, or I'll drill these holes.  Hold on, Adolf. Sounds like a crazy man. Can't take any chances. All right, Mr.... Take your hands in the air, Marshal. Sure. Come on, Adolf. When we get up to him, you call the reader. Maybe I can get a sense of dawn in the dark. Come on, come on! I ain't waiting all night. All right, Mr. We're coming. That's what ain't for the old man, too. She's like everybody here. This is the end of your trail, Adolf and Jim. Where's my daughter? You'll see. Rita! Rita! Ah, yeah, yeah. Get away from me! Get away from me! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God! You're talking like me. Yeah, thanks to the dog. Dog! Come on, dog! Come on! Is it this? Yeah. Good lord, Adolf. I know this. Yes, sir. It's killer Dirk. Rita and Heidi must be inside. Come on, quick. Now! Rita! Heidi! Yes, yes, sir. Yeah, I'm right. You take Rita now as a quiteie. Rita! How are you, Adolf? I'm alright. You never done that, baby. You see that, Jim? There you are. Did you get Jim? Yeah, I got him what it. Oh, and the puppy's here. I got it. That's right, Adolf. When he heard your voice, he came running out of here and bump into Dirk. When Dirk turned, I had a chance to draw and shoot. You mean I had to, you see, like a smart dog. Did you know this man before, Adolf? Yes, ma'am. You know him, Adolf. Yes, ma'am. I know him. Yes, ma'am. Why do you need Pratt, Jack, and his gang in a mine? It wouldn't come out, so we threatened to blow him out with dynamite. No. That explains why there's not enough dynamite in here. Dynamite? Yes. There's the fuse running outside. He was going to catch you and set that fire to the fuse.  Right, Jack. You was right, my dear. He was a mess, man. So, you see, surely, there was my dog that saved the day. Holy smoke. Thank you. It was a close one. Oh, yeah. You're welcome. Well, folks, Chicago Charlie has got a real surprise for you. You'll ever turn to the surprise. Yeah. Here. Take a look at this picture. The humanist is dead. This is the picture like the human being is a dog. Everyone surely took it to see it. Oh, let me see it. Yeah, let's have a look at it, why not? No, only two. Oh, it's dead.  Oh, it's wonderful. Yeah, that is the best picture that I've ever seen by Charlie. Oh, it's so beautiful.  They're with me. We've got a good one, boys. Thank you, brother. I think he's the best thing in the picture. And so ends another thrilling chapter in the lives of United States Marshal Lightning Jim Whipple and his deputy, Whitey Larson.
