I think it was Hemingway who said this, he visited certain parts of India, he visited the wrong places and he saw certain people and went back and then he said, if you don't eat well, if you're not dressed well, if you don't live well, you must be spiritual, how's that? But at the same time, another very prominent American who is still seen as one of the keenest minds that America ever produced, Mark Twain, you read some Mark Twain here? Mark Twain came visiting India because he was so fascinated with Indian mysticism. He found the right kind of guide who took him around and he met many people and when he was leaving he said, anything that can ever be done either by man or God has been done in this land. So both have happened, the peaks have happened and the most horrible depths have happened. If the question is just this, are you going to be the peak or are you going to be the bottom? That's an individual choice. But now by making the choice, what do I do? Where do I go? They're making this more and more complex and more and more deceptive. Now, if someone is going to tell you that your dead father is in the highest heaven, it's very satisfying, isn't it so? And if someone is willing to tell you your mother-in-law is in hell, if somebody is going to tell you, you yourself are going straight to heaven, it is even more reassuring. But is that… are you in such a childish state of mind that this is all you're seeking?  Is that all you're looking for? So this is a decision you have to make, am I looking for solace or am I looking for a solution? If you're looking for solution, then it's a different game. If you're looking for solace, it's a different game. Solace is just cheap psychiatry, you know. Don't worry, everything will be okay. Don't worry, everything will be okay. God is just keeping his lap open just for you. If you die, you're going to land straight in his lap. See, if you're going to land in God's lap, I don't think you should postpone it for tomorrow. No, isn't it? If you're going to land in such a blessed place, you should not postpone it for a moment. This is okay for somebody else, not for you, isn't it? It's all right to tell this to somebody. Not for yourself, it doesn't work, isn't it so? Yes? But something that doesn't work, we have peddled for too long. So what really works has been lost in this confusion. The only thing that you have to work with right now is your body and your mind. These are the only two things you have. No, my soul, you can't work with it. Nobody ever worked with a soul. You can only use your body, you can use your mind, isn't it? These two things, if you bring it and make them into conducive vehicles, then something beyond becomes a living possibility, not because you believe in it, not because it's written in your great scripture, not because somebody that you think is a great guru said that, simply because you have found a way to go beyond the limitations of your body and your mind, that's all. Otherwise, no way, no other way is going to happen. I did everything with the wrong reasons, but I did the right things, so it works. So I want you to know, it is not the intention, it is the nature of action which yields the result, isn't it? Yes or no? Even for the wrong reasons, if you do the right things, right things will happen to you.  That is why good people are always suffering.  So this is… this whole idea of right and wrong, good and bad is all human nonsense. Existence is not human centric. They've always told you, many religions of the world have been going about telling people, you are made in God's own image. And once you are in God's own image, naturally the place that you live in this planet is the very center of the universe. They believed this for a long time, isn't it? Even now they're insisting. You heard of this guy, Kopurnikas? Kopurnikas was one of the first guys who came unsaid. Earth is not the center of the universe. Not only not the center of the universe, it is not even the center of the solar system. And he promptly died. That's not bad thing, it's a good thing. Because the next man after him, when he uttered the same thing, they wanted to peel his skin off and the skin would not cooperate so they decided to burn him alive. The next significant man who uttered the same thing was Galileo. He said the same thing, then they got ready with the skin peelers. Then he said, no, no, no, no. Earth is the center of the universe and the cosmos. What is my problem? As you say, Earth is not only the center of the solar system and not only the center of the universe, it is the very center of the cosmos. Anyway, I do not know what is the center of the cosmos.  So today science has proved to you that definitely Earth is not the center of the solar system. In the universe you are just a menisque. Tomorrow morning, if you and your planet disappears, if it evaporates, nobody is going to miss it. The whole solar system evaporates tomorrow morning. It'll be just a small vacant place that nobody is going to miss in the existence. Nothing is going to happen.  It'll just, poof, it'll go. This is a good thing. This whole idea that I made in the image of God has left man so crude and he's been walking upon this planet so wantonly without any concern for any other life on this planet simply because he believes he is in the image of God. If you knew that your life is as significant or as insignificant as that of an ant, it is actually. All these grand ideas that human beings have about themselves that we are made in the image of God and God loves us and these dangerous ideas which has made human beings so uncaring, unresponsive to life around him. He thinks this planet and universe is all made for him nor that life has any right to live here except him. He's just lost all his marbles in his head and gone simply because of these kind of ideas. Now, modern science sort of has been very bad for your ego. Now it says you are just a blob of nothing pulsating like this right now. Tomorrow, poof, really. See, whatever you think about yourself, are you breathing, everyone? Is everybody breathing? No yogis. Nobody is able to hold their breath and sit. Inhalation, exhalation. Inhalation, exhalation. Inhalation, exhalation. The next inhalation didn't happen. Wherever we search, you don't exist. Yes or no? See how fragile it is. Just breathe carefully, it may go away. It's like a balloon in and out, in and out, out and it didn't go in again. Gone. That fragile. At the same time, how sturdy. Isn't it so? How many things a man can do. But at the same time, how fragile.   So, without knowing the essential nature of life, we are trying to somehow blunder through. That's the whole problem. Now how to exist here? Today how to live? How to make this life in such a way that it is conducive to know, experience and manifest deeper dimensions of life as a way of living. If you want to receive the deeper dimensions of life, if you have to become conducive, if your mind and your body and your energies have to become conducive to receive something beyond what you are right now. First and foremost thing is, they must listen to you. They must take instructions from you.  Yes or no? You would? So, if you keep this continuously pleasant, if you keep this constantly pleasant, then your intelligence will flower to a completely different dimension of perception. When you are no more an issue, when you are no more an issue by yourself, there are million issues on the outside, but you are not the issue. You are just fine. If you become like this, you become receptive. So always the yogic systems have been talking about blissfulness, ecstasy, ananda, you know all this stuff. Not because blissfulness is a goal by itself, it is only in a state of pleasantness. This will be at the highest level of receptivity. Otherwise, when this is a intermole, when this is an issue by itself, it cannot receive, it cannot understand the core of life, the way it is. It can only fight for survival.


Welcome to Tick Mill weekly market outlook for a week commencing the 20th of July with me, Patrick Munderley. So the tone for FX markets will largely be a function of the outcome of the ongoing EU summit, which is due to end today. But in the US next week with the calendar, otherwise looking fairly quiet, the focus is really going to be on earnings season. We've had the major bangs and now we're going to shift into the big tech giants this week. FXs continue to prove a quite contained sensitivity to both the surge in US COVID-19 cases and geopolitical tensions. Gaging the magnitude of the economic recovery remains pivotal for the market sentiment and the safe haven dollar. But with the next week's quiet calendar, we may not have much on offer in this sense. Housing data will be the only focus in the US with expectations around a solid rebound after the jump in mortgage applications. On the political side, we may see talks around a new fiscal package intensify. With EU summit outcome likely, as I say, setting the tone at the start of the week and as of lunchtime here at UK time, the tone looks a little less optimistic than it did on Friday. But we could still see the US dollar offered if we do get some positive comments as the summit concludes later today. Although weak sentiment in terms of Chinese equities may limit Asia FX gains. So from a technical perspective with respect to the dollar index, if we do get a positive outcome from the summit, then I expect the dollar to trade lower and basically retest the 9460. However, like I said at the moment, we're not seeing quite the same level of optimism that we were hearing on Friday. And so if we can hold these current lows at 9580, I'd look for a pop higher in the dollar into test this descending trend line resistance at the 9750 area. We're certainly watching for bearish reversal patterns to set short positions looking for a move down to test this 95 area. So the outcome of the EU summit will obviously be the key defining factor for the euro this week, and really for the wider G10 FX price action as per the case of a potential compromise being made, but probably no final agreement being reached as of yet. More negotiations will probably still be required. But if negotiations were to appear on the right path and the agreement being a question of when rather than if, this would likely be a positive for the euro. On the eurozone economic data front, the focus is on the July PMIs released on Friday, both manufacturing and services surveys are expected to rise with the July PMI service to move back into expansionary territory, i.e. above 50 for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Europe. So, from a technical perspective with respect to the euro dollar, it's pretty asymmetric here. If we don't get any positive positive news out of the EU summit, I am expecting a pullback in the euro dollar to test symmetry swing support down to the 112 area before longs look to rebuild and ultimately challenge the 115. And obviously if the inverse is the case and we do get positive turns from the EU summit then, I've been looking for the euro to make a pretty quick test of this 115 range resistance, and from there we likely see some profit taking. And then our symmetry target would move up to around this 112-60. So we could get, you know, buy the room or sell the fact type price action, as I discussed in Friday's chart for the euro. So, with respect to sterling, if the summit does give a boost to risk sentiment, I would expect sterling to lag most of its European peers, probably with the exception of the Swissie, given its relatively lower beta to risk, and an even more sterling, more exposed to falling markets, i rungling than rising markets. And the EU-UK trade negotiations are still in overhang. On the UK data front, the focus is on June retail sales, and July PMI is both released on Friday. On the former, I've been looking for a sharp rebound as the UK extended lockdown measures, although under the surface there will be changes in the consumer spending behaviour from sales in physical shops moving to online sales on the PMIs, the services, PMI, may go back above the 50 level, but its explanatory power is limited. It only tells one story with respect to firms report better conditions after the free fall that they'd experienced earlier in the year. While both are positive, this is unlikely to prompt meaningful sterling gains, given the idiosyncratic issues sterling faces at the moment. So, from a technical perspective, whilst we hold this 126.55 resistance area, still looking for sterling to make a test of the equality target back down to this 121.20 range support area. However, if we do get some positive news and we see sterling capture bid, then I'd look for a retest of the 128 before a correction. But, like I said, whilst we hold 126.50, I'm looking for 121. The BOJ really, the meeting last week, left very little marks in terms of impact on the air and as the bank kept all its existing policy measures unchanged. The dolly yen continues to trade in a fairly tight range, failing at the moment to sustain the trade below 1.07, despite these geopolitical tensions and the downturn in Chinese equities. Next week, I would expect the yen appears to be lacking clear catalysts for an idiosyncratic move, whilst there might be more interest in the euro yen given its links to the outcome of the EU summit. So, from a technical perspective with respect to the dollar yen, still as we hold this 108 resistance here, I'm ultimately looking for a move, a grind lower potentially, to test this 104.50, which will be a pivotal test for the yen. But if bids do come into the market, then I would anticipate we hold this range resistance, but we probably grind up there into that 108 before trading lower again. In Australia, Australia is really facing the worst period of its battle against the pandemic, with the state of Victoria back in full lockdown, but still seeing big daily jumps in cases. The complacency of the Aussie dollar to this situation keeps highlighting some higher downside risk to the currency compared probably to the Kiwi dollar. Chinese equities dynamics may remain a key driver, given that the Aussie has the highest correlation with the Chinese one in the G10 space. Australia's central bank will release its minutes of the July policy meeting on Tuesday. What might be interesting to note is any currency-related comment in what was otherwise uneventful meeting. Some comments on the Aussie might also come from the speech of Governor Lowe after the release, as we see little change really in rhetoric from the committee. But we'll see if there's any additional comments with respect to policy standards. From a technical perspective, as the Aussie continues to find offers above the 70 level, I'm looking for a pullback into this 67-50 area. However, if we do get positive risk sentiment at the open, we could easily see the Aussie trade-up and test towards 71 before seeing a potential pullback. That concludes the weekly market outlook for week commencing the 20th of July.


When I started thinking about world problems and more systematically, I ended up gradually coming to a perspective that was almost the opposite of the perspective I'd been operating under for, at that point, decades, and I came to the perspective that really most of the world's major problems can be traced not to excessive emotions, but to an insufficiency of emotions, or it could be argued that the wrong emotions at the wrong time. So if you look at something like climate change, climate change is something that happens gradually, it's difficult to detect, it takes a long time to unfold, and our emotion system is very much geared towards immediate threats. And climate change, the types of problems that our society is facing currently are much more likely to be of the climate change kind of variety. They're happening remotely to people we don't know, they unfold gradually, and they're difficult to observe, maybe there's a lot of noise and not that much signal, and well, there's a lot of things going on. Partly, if we don't want to think about something, we avoid thinking about it. In fact, I have a new paper we just submitted for publication on something we call the Ostrich Effect, which is when the stock market goes up, people online investors, they get online and they kind of shake their metaphorical piggy bank. When the stock market goes down, people stay off the web, they don't look at the value of their portfolio. So it's true, if something is uncomfortable to think about, people don't think about it, people avoid thinking about it. And that's part of what's going on with climate change, it's just too scary, so we don't think about it. But another part of it is that we, again, it happens gradually, it's remote, a lot of the consequences are experienced by people we don't know, people in other countries, people living in Bangladesh, for example, and so there are many, many different factors, some of them motivated and some of them kind of more natural, that cause us to have an insufficient emotional reaction to problems such as climate change or poverty happening to other people in other countries. Do you think this is something special for the developed world? Well, I think neither we nor people in Bangladesh are thinking enough about climate change, that people in Bangladesh are too caught up in their present-day reality. And for us, climate change is too remote. But as a consequence, very few people are as upset about it as we collectively should be. Now, there are many reasons why the world isn't dealing with a problem of climate change. The biggest reason is probably the free rider problem. If I cut back my emissions, I flew here on a jet, if I cut back my emissions, it's going to hurt me and have very little, the benefit of the decrease in climate change is not going to accrue to me, it's going to accrue minimally to all the people in the world and future generations. So the free rider problem is probably the single biggest reason why we're not dealing with climate change. But if we collectively get upset about things, we often find ways to surmount the free rider problem. So nations go to war, despite the free rider problem, each soldier would prefer for everyone else to fight and to stay home, him or herself. But that doesn't happen, people do go to war. So if we got upset enough about climate change, the way we will get upset about some other nation who we think is encroaching on our land or on our rights, we would do something about it. We'd figure out a way to surmount the free rider problem, but we don't.


Hello. I'm going to talk about LibratBug, which is a demand to configure input devices. So, my name is Philippe Lange. I like beer. I'm a student. I'm one of the maintenance of LibratBug, and I package some stuff for Arch Linux. So, the table of content, I'm going to explain a bit better what is LibratBug, then I'm going to talk about the current status, what we have planned for the future, and a really, really quick overview of the IT protocol, then how you can define your own LibratBug driver, then some questions. So, what is LibratBug? LibratBug is a debossed demand to configure the order of input devices. So, for example, some iron devices like this one, you can change the sensibility and other aspects of the order. But they often, the manufacturer often only provides official drivers for Windows, and sometimes maybe Mac, but never Linux, really. So, if you buy an expensive mice like this one, you want to be able to change the settings, and that's what LibratBug allows you to do. We are vendor agnostic, so our API is not tied to any particular vendor, so you can define your own driver for any mouse, or any other input device, and have it work. So, right now, we mainly support Logitech, because they actually use a standard protocol between all of their devices, so it's really easy to not necessarily maintain, but to have the same code work for different models, while other vendors like SealSeries have a different protocol for each hardware, so it's a bit of a mess. And LibratBug was created in 2015 by Benjamin Tissouar, who is one of the maintainers of the ETH sub-tree of the kernel, and Peter Atherer, who is the maintainer of LiveInput, and most of the Linux input stack. So, what can you configure with LibratBug? So, you can change the resolutions, so the DPI settings, you can change the report rate, you can remap buttons, you can do hardware macros, and you can change the effects of the LEDs. So, for clients, we currently have RadBug CTL, which is a CLI client, but it's mostly intended for debug, and we have Piper, which is a GTK client, which is intended to be a proper client for end users. So, the status of LibratBug, it works, you can change all of the settings for the supported devices, but we don't have a stable client API yet. So, because of several issues, like we have limited time, we don't want to define a stable API yet, because if we do it, we will have to maintain it, and we hope to be able to do it soon, but it's not there yet. So, the issues that we currently have with LibratBug, like I said, we have limited time, we don't have that many maintainers or that many contributors. Most of the people that contribute to LibratBug mostly make their device work and don't really contribute to the rest of the code, so you can have some part of the code for some device that works perfectly fine, but for other hardware, it can be a little bit buggy because the people that contribute to that code are not that active. So, one of the issues is it can be automated. So, some of the code, if you don't have some previous knowledge of the IT protocol, which is the protocol used by input devices, it can be a little bit complex in some parts, but you usually have to delete it. We, me and the other maintainers have to delete it, and I think the most important thing is that we have limited access to hardware. So, I do not own all of the hardware that we support and neither do the other maintainers. We have, between all of us, I think we have a good portion of the hardware, but we don't have all of it and that can really prevent us from fixing stuff because we don't have the hardware. So, about the future, we want to set up a CI, but to test the hardware drivers, because they communicate with hardware, we need the only way for us to test them is actually emulate the hardware. Otherwise, we don't have any way to, we will have to have like a physical CI, which is not great because, like I said, we don't have all of the devices and it's hard to maintain. So, what we want to do is to have device simulation. So, this summer, Logitech was kind enough to give me an internship where during the summer I worked on open source software and one of the main projects of the internship was to create a device simulator. So, right now, we have a device simulator that works. We have a prototype and we have a prototype CI for the bad boy, but it's only prototype. I am rewriting the device simulator. It should be ready soon. So, hopefully soon we will have like a proper CI that can emulate all of the hardware, even if we don't have it and can actually make proper regression testing, make sure that new changes don't break existing code and things like that. One other thing I wanted to play around with is color synchronization. So, for example, if you have a device like a mouse and a keyboard, you could actually have the light effects sync up between them or if you have like other kind of devices that we could support, you could have everything nice and synced up, have the same color effects between everything. So, I'm going to talk just a little bit about it protocol. The protocol is by input devices. This is supposed to be like just an entry point for people that want to understand how these input devices interact with the computer and how they operate and on top of that, how the protocol to configure these devices relates to that. So, you have advice. This is one of the most common examples. For example, you have a mouse and every time the hardware changes, the hardware state changes, you send a report to the host telling, okay, so I moved X dots in the X axis. So, but the it protocol is designed to work with all kinds of input devices and they have different hardware properties. So, we cannot have like a standardized report structure. So, the package that the device sends to the computer to tell it what changed in the, sorry, to tell it what changed, it cannot be standardized. Otherwise, we will have like a really, really big packet because we need to send everything that is possible. So, to prevent this, it's a protocol defined report descriptors which are basically structures that describe how the packet is structured. So, for example, in this simple example, you have a mouse and every time the hardware state changes, it will send three bytes to the host updating the state of the button. For example, in this case, the button's byte is just a bit mask. Every bit represents one button and then you have your two axis. But the protocol cannot really be, it's not broad enough to be able to define all of the things that you could be able to configure in your device. For example, the sensibility or some other crazy things that the vendors might want to do. So, they allow you to define a certain part of the packet as just vendor data. So, in a more complex event, you could have a report descriptor that says that the packets start with one, send the basic mouse hardware updates and the reports start with two, just send vendor data. And at this point, the eDriver, the generic eDriver will just ignore this data. It knows what to do with that one, but it will ignore the vendor data. And then you can have a vendor driver to deal with that data. And that is what Librat Pack does. We interact with the vendor data. So, every vendor will have a protocol inside this vendor data, a way for us to configure the devices and talk with the devices using this vendor data. In Linux, you have two ways to interact with the vendor data. You can have like a kernel driver, but that's not really a great solution. You really only want to do it if you need access to that data somewhere inside the kernel. The most common example is the battery reporting. So, you can have the battery reporting show up in CZFS and then if you power, pick it up and report it natively. And for that, you could do a kernel driver. But for all of the other things, like configuring the LEDs and things like that, you don't really want to do a kernel driver. You can do it in the user space. So, the kernel will export a Dev, eDraw device, which is a device that just sends the raw data to the, which is a file descriptor that only sends the raw data to the device. So, in Libre back, to write your own driver, you basically create a new file and you define some functions and then you define this structure. The structure can vary a bit, but for most cases, you want to define a probe method, which is every time you update something, some setting, it will be called, sorry, no. The probe method is the first time that you connect a device, then you have a remove method that is, when you remove the device, then you have the commit method that is, every time you update some setting, it will call that method and usually what you do is just to take that, to send, to tell the device to be configured in that way. So, if anyone has questions, I can answer. Otherwise, I can show you a demo. I don't know if, you know. With the current status of programming the internal memories of some devices? OK, the status of programming the memory of the some devices. So, most of the devices don't really allow you to interact with that because they just, the firmware only, the thing is that, sorry. So, you have the device that is connected via USB or something and you have the IP protocol on top of it. It doesn't, most of us don't really have a way for you to interact with the memory. For example, Logitech devices, Logitech devices particularly with onboard profiles actually export like emulated memory where you can store stuff. It is used to store like macros in more recent devices like some custom led effects. In those devices, you can actually, using the vendor protocol, you can write to some part of the memory and you can do some stuff with that. But most of us don't really allow you to interact with the memory. It's basically you just, most of us only have like really simple comments that you say, OK, set the led to the color red. And then the firmware receives that message and interprets it and there's that, the led to red. I don't know if I answered your question properly because most of us don't really allow you, there's no interface to write directly to the memory because after all, this is just an MCU where I'm running some firmware that will just get the updates from the sensor and then create some it packets with the updated state and send it. So you can only do what the firmware allows it to do. I mean, in some devices, you can actually open them up and reprogram it, but that's a bit out of the scope. I mean, anyone else? Is the broadband only supporting HID devices? Like, if I, well, I do have a mouse where I reverse engineer the protocol, but it's not long, it isn't HID. So should I write a kernel driver to evaluate an HID device? I mean, I don't think you should, sorry. OK, you are asking if you have a mouse that allows you to configure it but doesn't export an HID device. So in that case, I don't think you should write a kernel driver. Right now, all of the devices that we support are HID devices. But I don't think that we need to do that necessarily. I mean, we have to talk with the other maintainers, but we might want to have that in LibreDbac because after all, it's just a demon that takes your device and exports some settings, so resolutions, some part rates, lead effects, things like that. And your device matches that profile. Anyone has any questions? Do you have to use RatBagD to get stuff done, or can you just write something using LibreDbac to go and configure devices correctly via HID? OK, so do we need to use the RatBagD, which is the demon, or can I just use LibreDbac to do what I want? It's kind of deprecated. And we just merged the demon and the library. And right now, we only publicly support the demon because I was not involved with the project when that happened, but I think it was because it was hard to maintain a public API for the library because it was in constant development, so they didn't really want to maintain a public binary API. So I think that's what happened, but I'm not entirely sure. Anyone, any questions? I can show you a demo. So I'm going to connect this mouse. I forgot the receiver, but I can connect it directly. So, OK, my device shows up. Then I have resolutions. I can change that. I can run up buttons. For example, I think one of the most important things is, for example, if you are left-handed, so you want to switch the two main buttons, if your mouse is part of the remote bag, you can just go here. But it will just probably this interface where you can just do it. Then it's run up. Then you click Apply. And now the buttons are mapped. I need to use the other button. Yeah, OK. So then we have the LEDs. So I can just put this orange. Now let me show, if I click Apply, it will go orange. OK, it went. Yeah, that's basically it.


How much do you think the way in which holy men look could impact in the society through their obedience? There are some people in the society that have a special bond with religion, some of which people believe to be representatives of religion. In other words, they're the face of the religion which includes men of God and believers. In fact, this group represents religion by their actions or the way they speak. Furthermore, only this kind of righteous people could be religious leaders. Anyhow, ayatullahs and scientists of a city or a village or those who are referred to in a city or even a family are part of this group at some level.  It's obvious that when the poor who live with hardship find out how simple their imam's life is, they will feel better and relaxed. It is not good enough to be good in the inside. Hence, their looks should comply with their inside so that people would not turn away from him or religion.


I am from Belay Institute of Technology there. I opted for the course clearly of completion and they supported very well. The content was very rich. Each and every topic was completed up to the point. Assignment questions were also worth. And after completing every assignment they provided the detailed solution and it was really very helpful. I am from Sri Sankracharya Institute of Professional Management and Technology. I have been enrolled in the course of programming in C++. Today the exam was conducted and overall experience was very fine. The sir taught us really, sir has really worked hard to taught us. And we have gained a lot of knowledge from this. And the level of assignments was too good. As the sir explained us in our video lectures. The level of questions was the same. And the examination conducted today. The level of this also was the same as being of the assignments. And it was really enjoying to have this course. Hello, I am Jhevaran Jeevan. I am from Belay Institute of Technology there. I have done my course on recruit machine and turbo machine. This NPTEL course is very fine and easy to remember. And questions are related to very deep concepts. So this is very useful for our examination point. For competition, give, be a fuse. So I like that this course. Thank you.  I am a little published. And this course I came to be used for this one. Course name? Course name was a design and analysis of algorithms. And I came to be in data structures. Course was very nice. Lectures are good. And they are experimental. Hi, my name is Jai Akash. And I am from India. And I attended this NPTEL course. It was a very awesome experience. The course lecture and the format of what they presented were well organized. And I attended the last final exam which was of the quiz test. And it was all well formatted. And overall experience is very good. Any questions? How was the exam? Difficult. Or busy for you? How many questions were answered? All. Very good. The courses came out of the... Outside the courses covered in the course are within the courses. I am from NIT, Nagpur pursuing mechanical engineering. And I have taken a course in NPTEL online courses. Algorithms and data structures in Python. And it was quite helpful for me. Like wicket assignments. We need to follow them regularly. Helping me a lot. And I have discussed it also with my friends. Helping to me. And it not only helps in internships. But also helps to learn some kind of a new subject. Because we discovered all the assignment equations. The assignment solutions are available in the next. So I go through it. And so all those all the questions are from the assignment. And teaching was also very good. So it went on well. So it went on well. And the way I have prepared the question paper was very good. And about the online pattern was also very good. This is Aditya, Aditya Kulkari. Currently I am working in Infosys Technologies. And I opted for the course for Python and its algorithm. The course was very good. The teacher like Mukun sir was very good. And he is from IIT, IITM. And the courses were conductively very good. I studied those all those lectures and the periods. Then currently I gave the exam at the Georeal Policy Engineering. The total environment is very good. When the text was boarded by the institute. And the staff was very good. Good evening everyone. I am a student of NCA from BIT. I have got the information of NPTEL from my faculty in my college. He has guided me his name. His name is Mrs. Pillay ma'am. It's a faculty of NCA department. I have got the information from him. The NPTEL exam is very informative. It is giving us the knowledge of different exams. Of a different subject. And the center was also good. The faculty of the NPTEL was very nice. They are also guiding us with knowledge. And they are also provided the seats in the center. The exam was very good. The assignment was very good. The course should come. And the subject should be for Max. What suggestions did you give? Where did you get this from? From friends. Can you say something else? What courses are better than doing? There are courses from different subjects. For Max, I was looking for a modern one. And the subject should be for Max. And the papers should be for Max. Can you say the center? No problem. My name is Radha Mehmet. I am for string engineering from BIT. I am in third year with them. Today I am here for giving exam on basic electronics. And Bharti college. It's very nice college. There was no such problem for finding the college. It's in near my house. The exam was fine. Not too hard, not too easy. And the center was fine. There was no such problem in the computer. It's in server. It's good. Hello, I am Bharti Lubey. Having more than 10 years experience of teaching in Chhatrapati Shivaji Institute of Technology. I am taking the subject theory of competition. So that's why I have chosen the NPTEL course of theory of competition. In this course, I have got many, many, many new things. But something, you know, which I found that for our regular one, the faculties, we are not much capable to submit the assignments from the NPTEL side, allotted to us. So we are lagging on it. But most probably, you know, the subject material and the things are very good. The examination process is also good. And we are very much satisfied with that. And we are promoting the students also to get the benefits from it. Thank you. Myself, I am from BIT Durga. The exam was good. And my course was programming in C++. The question, mainly the most of the questions were from assignments. And I took the help from teachers to study. And I also spent two or three hours for learning assignment and videos, watching the videos. And it was a nice exam. All the exam is development, social experiment, personal idea. These are the questions from outside the course, covered and between the course. No, there is no question, come forward as it is. My individual course, the open form. You are doing this course only for certificate or just you want to update yourself like that? Raining knowledge. Okay. In group or individual? In individual. No, there is. I am not seeking help. Okay. Yes, I am active in the course. Discussion forum and your questions are answered regularly? Yes. For week, I spend less than 5 to 10 hours. 5 to 10 hours, okay. The certificate is useful. And I will use that in my CV for job interviews. That should be improved in the portal or like that? Any idea or any suggestions? Yes, it is easy to reach the center because it is in second college. That is okay. Okay, thank you. I am really very happy that whenever I had a doubt and when I called your office, with no time I got a response. Absolutely, they are thankful to achieve to call you as a team. Particularly, I don't really have much money. Everybody, you know, particularly the team, and it helped. Very happy. I want you to continue doing some of the courses. I never, I tend to know about NPTELT for the first time. I am sure I will pass this, it says to all you friends, and I will make sure that they also attend at least one course in their lifetime. Thank you so much. How was the exam, sir? Very well organized. What about the exam portal? How was the exam portal and what was it? Was it easy? Good. No, it is good. Were you able to understand the instructions? Yes, very nice. Very nice. Okay. Okay, fine. So the videos when you take up it at NPTELT websites, are they good? Are you able to download it? Yeah, that was the grey area. I tried my best. But I think for younger generation, it would not be a problem. But for me, I faced little trouble. I could not even download it even today. Okay, what was the reason, sir? Maybe my network was very slow. I got to some group discussion also. They said you go to this place, you should be able to do it, but I could not do that. Okay, but there are other versions also available. Sir, MP3 format, 3G, PFLB format, which is actually the size would be reduced. Okay. So you can download those types of contents. It's not MP4. Maybe you know, you may put it in there. It is there. It is already when you go to NPTEL main page, course page. In that page, it will be possible to see all these other stuffs. Maybe. You have to check it out. Right. Anything else, sir? Very simple. Very simple to the whole team. Okay, fine. So that was my start at original. I am very glad to be in speaking and, thank you very much. I am very much thankful to the MPDF for arranging the ground floor for me. Thank you. Very nice, Mom. The way of conduction, organising, the discuss, everything, the only thing all of us expect is the location of the greatest center, Mom. It will be better if it is near is near to our residential space especially so if it has been taken care by that we will be very much thankful to the techs for that everything assignments, classes, video, graphics everything is very very very nice and very good. Questions are concerned so basically exams are related to the syllabus and the overall impact I would like to suggest it was good. Thank you. How was the arrangement over here? Arrangement was good. How much time did you have to spend on NPTEL video lessons per week? 3 to 4 hours. How do you? But it was actually quite fast as per that syllabus and all these concerns. Do you have any suggestion to improve the potent? You spend the time or if you give some slot more than this one week so it should be at least 2 to 3 weeks so that we can go through it we can study hard and we can proceed further. Did you watch the video lesson by yourself or in group with your friends? No, by myself. Were you active in the course discussion forum? Were your queries answered in a timely fashion? Yes. All the arrangements and all the requests from the NPTEL was good. How is the location of the exam centre? Easy to reach? Facilities are okay? No actually before everything that actually I came from the Nasiq. So at early morning I left the Nasiq for reaching here because I actually undergone the very trouble. Thanks. Thank you. I was there for the course of short skill development. Were your questions from outside the portion covered in the course and how did questions come from the assignment? Very less questions for that from the assignment but conceptually from the syllabus few examples for that which were related. How is the NPTEL was different from what you have learned at your college? It is good. Did you seek any help from faculty at your college? Myself as the faculty actually. How do you plan to use the certificate? We did it on the regular basis assignments and the lectures we were doing in the colleges only and we did it by ourselves. Do you have any suggestion to improve the polter? Actually I think that surveys were very lengthy in few sessions and the duration of the assignments could be extended if it would be much good. So at the same time we can do more than one subject. Now what happened actually for one subject we were busy that much. In our scheduling it was difficult to cover other subjects. How is the location of the exam centre easy to reach? Facilities were okay? It was nice. How do you propose to use this course for credit for internship just to learn on new subject? Stop engineering and technology and I have registered for basics of FEM part one in NPTEL course and I have started using this NPTEL course from the last semester and this is my second course I am attending here and the course has inspired me a lot. The first objective for registering this NPTEL video course is to learn my keen interest in packages to learn. So I have been using this online courses for developing my standards and this has helped me a lot and today is my examination and I am going to give a good attempt here. Thank you. Good evening everyone my name is Narsimha Rao. I am working as a associate professor in DVC College of Engineering. Rajamendra is two other district I am the project. So I have 18 years experience in PTEL. NPTEL is a very useful course because of the most of the latest things incorporated in NPTEL courses. In GNDU Kaikunada in this year they have introduced the NPTEL programing. So this NPTEL programing is very useful to our students. As a lecturer I am also very benefited through this course. So the pattern of examination is also very clear because everyone can attempt 40% of marks. So there is some easy level pattern. There is some difficult pattern. This is a good way to assess the skill of the students. So it is very nice pattern. Thank you. My name is Pawan Kumar. I am from Aditya College. The TEL center location is very easy as I am from the same college only. And according to the toughness of the TEL it is not so easy and not so tough. It is very comfortable to us and I completed the exam now only. And I can I have some confidence that I will get the certificate of very best score of getting very best score. I am from Aditya Engineering College and Computer Science Department. The exam is very easy. I expected that it will be like coding exam or the assignment which I have submitted every day. But it is very easy when compared with the assignment which I have submitted and it is very useful. Thank you. Thank you. I know how. Now I am able to compare how all the programs where I got so much knowledge of the students. I am Ganesh from Prakriti Engineering College. The Unreal exam is somewhat difficult. We must practice ourselves. We must watch the videos also. It should not depend on others. It is not a very practical subject. It is very tough. But I know that it works well. And the power is good. It will be very helpful. I am from Aditya Engineering College. And I am enrolled for the best score of 32. I just come with the exam. The exam is somewhat difficult for me. If we learn the assignments then it is we can feel better it will be. Without learning the assignments it is difficult. I wish others to go for this exam because it will be very difficult. I am from Aditya Engineering College. I just wrote an exam now. Basic update circuits. From the basics the questions were given. And yeah it was little bit tough. The time limit was also sufficient. When I come back to my casual exams which I write in my college. After writing this I am just thinking that I should pay for more exams. So that I can learn the basics. My name is Rohan. I am from Aditya Engineering College. This time I took about Aditya Engineering. It is quite familiar with the water presentation assignments. Whatever questions and assignments are similar to the exam questions. I think I have performed well. And I would like to do some more courses in the Imperial and further Imperial. So I would like to advise you to better your knowledge. Thank you. Hello friends. My name is Srinivas Satharmanian. I am from Aditya Engineering College. And this time I took the Python course from the NPTEL program. And I came to know about this program by our class teachers. And this program is very useful to learn beyond the class of education. For example, Python is not there in the Arthritis Regulation of Grand UK. But I can learn through this NPTEL program. So which is useful for me in my future career. And I want to suggest you is don't stop just like classroom education. You have to go beyond the classroom education. There is lot of subjects which you have to learn beyond the classroom education. And you have to aware about that as subjects to your class teachers or your friends. And learn this type of, use the opportunities like NPTEL. Thank you. I came from Aditya Engineering College. Aditya Engineering College is very useful for us. And it is possible to be a part of about this program by conducting this program. I am working as a student professor in faculty college. So total the exam facilities and the console of the exam which designed was excellent. Some proper directions are needed to guide the students to take their rooms and chairs and their seats. And also some of the facilities like water and all the necessary arrangements, what are required for the students. Some improvement needed regarding that. Except that everything is excellent. I am working in Aditya Engineering College in ITER department. So I handle the cost for operating system. This course will be very helpful to me. And the assignments are also very useful. And the pattern of examination is also nice. And most probably the assignment questions are there in our examination. So the entire examination is, I feel like very free and nice. Good evening. I am Venkat. I am from Pragya Engineering College. I enrolled the course programming in Seculus Plus. Whereas compared to our assignments and final exam, in assignments 1, 2, 3 are very easy to understand and submit the assignments. And after 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are some more difficult to compare to 1, 2, 3 assignments. And whereas final exam, section 2 and section 3 are likely easy to permit. And section 4 is more difficult to attend the questions. Which is given the very hard to find the syntax errors. Whatever year classes and write them in the middle code. It is very difficult to find the where the error is occurred. Thank you. Hi, I am Savajaniya. I am working as assistant professor at Pragya Engineering College. I have registered for introduction to operating systems in Amphical course. And the exam is very good and it is useful for academics as well as to know how the operating system, what are the introduction part of the operating system. And it is very useful for beginners. My name is Aditya Bahati and I am from IK College of Engineering and Technology. The exam was easy and the lectures delivered by the NPTEL lectures was somewhat different from what we have learned from our class. It is somewhat like competitive and it is useful and it is morally somewhat logic. It is about logical thinking and it was very interesting to learn and watch the videos and thank you for that.


Alright guys, so today we're gonna go over the next problem a little bit on Spodge called Abyss, I'm not gonna read this, no one has the time to read about Jimmy and his pupil schools so let's just jump right into it. Basically you have a number of test cases you have to read and then you have these, this numbers, you have numbers, kind of like statements, it's kind of like two plus two equals four, three plus two equals five, stuff like that. So that's what you have in the input statement. So you have, in this case, we have 23 plus 47 equals matriola, okay, so we have 23 plus 47 equals matriola and then our job is basically to just replace whichever string here with the actual number for the correct value of what you have in your input statement. So in this case, 23 plus 47 is equal to matriola. We know matriola is not the actual right value of 23 plus 47, so we're gonna actually just replace matriola with the actual value of 43 plus 47, which is 70, okay? So that's what we output 23 plus 47 is equal to 70, okay? So that's basically the gist of this whole problem, okay? So then for the next line, we have 3,247 plus this weird string is equal to 3,749, right? So in this case, this string is not actually the right value, right? The middle string. So what we're gonna actually do is we're gonna take the rightmost value, this rightmost value and subtract it from the first value that we're supposed to add and then we print the, we replace it with the actual right number. So in this case, the output becomes 3247 plus 502 is equal to 3749, okay? And then the third statement, we have matriola 13 plus 75,425 is equal to 77,038. So in this case, this first statement here is not a number, matriola 13, right? So we're gonna actually replace it with the right corresponding value that adds up to 75,425 that gets us to the 77,038, right? So what we're gonna do is we're actually gonna replace the right corresponding value. So that's 1,613 plus 75,425, which equals to 77,038. So basically the gist of this problem is that there is a one, there's one variable that is just not correct, right? There's one part, one string that is not correct, and then what we have to do is just replace it with the actual correct sum of the value, right? So like in this case, third value, this case was not correct. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna actually replace it with the right sum, the right value that adds up to 75,425 that gets us to the 77,038, right? So in this case, this problem basically just boils down to find the wrong value, right? Find the string. Find the value that is not a string. That is a string, right? Find the value that is a string is not a number, and then just take the other two values and add them up. If it's on the far right, if it's on the far right side, then we just add up the first two values. If it's one of the first two numbers, right? If this first number is not the correct value, then we take the right number and subtract from the left number, the first number to get our right value, the corresponding number for this. And if it's on the left side, we just take the right number, this number and subtract by the middle one to get the corresponding one on the left. That's basically the gist of this problem. So I'm actually going to show you guys the code now, because it's my code, by the way. So this is what I got accepted. Let me just take down, close a few of my chats, but okay, so yeah. So this is the gist of the code. So first we read in the number of test cases T, and then for some odd reason on Spodge, we like to add like weird enter statements, like blank lines that don't mean anything for each test case. So because of that, I have to do cn.ignore after I read in number of test cases here, right? So I ignore that line. Okay. So now I do wild T minus minus. So for each test case, I read that then for every single test case, there's always another space, enter space blank line above it. So I have to ignore that. So I have to ignore that for every test case. So I do that again. I do cn.ignore. Okay. Now, in order to get every single number, in this case, right, what I do is I use a get line cn, which reads in as a string. So then for every line, I get a string. So it's a corresponding string for this one, this one, and this one, right? Okay. So that's what I do here. And so what I do here is I need to, what I want to do is I want to break it up by spaces, right? I want to break this string up into spaces because I want to actually get each individual numbers here. So like 23, 47, and then Machula, right? And in this case, I have like three, two, four, seven, this number through the string, and then the far right. So yeah, what I do here for that is in order to break it up by spaces, I create a string stream. So this is a string stream, and I pass in my input, which is my string that I just read. And then I have the string word, okay? So this word is going to represent every single, every single value that is read in that we're splitting by spaces, right? Okay. So it's a string word. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to have x, y, and z. So x, y, and z just represents every single corresponding number. So in this case, we have 23, 47, and Machula. So in the beginning, I'm going to set them all to negative one, right? And then whenever I read something that's a number, I'm going to set its corresponding value. So it would set like x equal to 23, it would set y equal to 47, and then z would equal to this, right? And whichever number that doesn't actually get set, that number will remain negative one. That's why I make them all negative ones, okay? So the numbers that get set. Then I have an i equals, which is an index. This index just represents like the corresponding number that I'm setting. So like if i is equal to one, I'm going to set x to equal to first number. Then I increment my i by one. So then I'm going to set my y value is going to equal to 47. And then my z value is going to equal to the third one. But in, yeah, but yeah. So that's why I do that there. Anyway, so then what we would do is we do while SS, which is our string stream, right? While we string stream each individual word. So this is going to split it by every single space, right? So every word just now becomes a string. So we have 23, then we have this plus sign, then we have a 47, then we have an equal sign, then we have matrula, right? So that's what it does. That's what this SS word does while SS word. Okay, if each word is a plus sign or an equal sign, then I'm going to ignore it. So I continue to go to the next word. And the reason why is that? Because we just want to focus on the three individual numbers, 23, 47, and then the right value, right? So we don't actually care about the plus sign and we don't care about the equal sign. Because while our string stream reads in a word that splits it by spaces, it also includes the plus sign and equal sign, but we don't really care about that. So that's why I do if the word is equal to a plus sign or it's equal to an equal sign, I continue and I ignore it and I go back to the top. Okay. So this is the part where it gets a little strange. I know the code is a little messy, but this is the part where it kind of gets a little strange. So I use a try catch and the reason why I do that is because the try catch is going to catch of converting the string, each individual string into a number, right? So yeah, that's why I use a try catch for. So in this case, I have another function that is called is number. Here, it just represents the, it's just a function I found online that basically reads in a string and checks if it's an actual number or not. This uses a lambda expression. I'm not going to go over how this works because quite frankly, I don't actually know that much about lambda expressions, but yeah, I've found this on Stack Overflow. You could just pause the video and look at it if you want. Yeah. Okay. So if it's not a number, if my current word is not a number, I'm just going to increment my current I counter and then I continue. That means that I'm going to go to the next number to read. So I have X, Y and Z that represents the every single number, right? Like X is 23, Y would equal to 47, Z would equal to Matrula, right? So if it's not a string, then I just go to the next number, right? I'm going to set the next number to be equal to Y, the next number equals Z, right? So that's why I got to do this I plus plus and I do a continue so I ignore the rest, right? I go to the next one. Okay. Now, otherwise, if it is a number, I'm going to convert it. So that's what this S toll does. S toll converts the string into a variable and I set it equal to value. This try catch would actually catch, try to make sure it works or not, okay? Now I have my value. So now, yeah. In this case, now we have our if statements. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to see if my counter of I is equal to one, then I'm going to set my X value is going to equal to value, then I increment I plus plus. If my counter of my I is equal to two, that means I'm going to set my Y value is equal to the value and then I do I plus plus. If my counter is equal to three, I set my Z value is equal to the value, current value, and I do I plus plus. And this is just make sure that I'm reading like every single value to its corresponding X, Y, and Z. So like in this case, it would set X equal to 23, then it'll set Y equal to 47. And then matrula is not a number, right? Matrula is not a number. So then it just goes to the next one, right? And then we're done. So Z would remain as negative one, right? So in in this, this in the code that I wrote, basically whichever number that is not a word, which is not a number, whichever number is not a number, right? But its corresponding value would remain negative one. So in the next line of test case, we have 3,247, right? So it'll read X as this number. And then this value is not a not a number, right? So Y would remain negative one. And then this value, Z would equal to this value 3,749. That's what Z would equal to. So right? That's what this code does. Okay? All right. In the end, what I do is, if any of the value, I have to check into each individual value. So if one of the value was missing, so like in this case, at the end, if X is equal to negative one, that means X was missing, right? So this value was missing. So what we do is we're going to take, we're going to print Z, the third value, subtract by Y to get our right value, right? Our right value. So in this case, I'll be this third value, right? So that's what I do here. I use the third value minus the second one, because that's going to be our correct X value. And then I print out the plus sign, and then I print out the right, the Y value, right? I print out the second value, and then I print out Z equals. If the second value was missing, right? Second value is equal to negative one. That means that the second value was a string. So this value was a string. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to take my Z, which is the third value, minus the first value to get my second value. So yeah, that's what I do here. So I print out my first value of X, I print out a plus sign, and then I do third value minus this first value, Z minus X, then I have a equal sign, and then I print out the third value. All right, now if the third value is missing, Z is equal to a negative one. That means the third value is missing, so that means this third value is a string, right? So that means it's missing. So what I do is I print out X, I print out Y, which is I print out the first value, which is 23. I print out Y, which is the second value, which is 47. And then I just print out X plus Y, which is 70, 23 plus 47 is 70. So that'll print out the actual output. And then at the end, that's just return zero. So that's pretty much the gist of this problem. There's not much to it. You just have to make sure, like you said, you check each individual variable and make sure it's a string or not. It's a number or not. Yeah. You have to check each number and make sure it's a number or not. But yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video. Write a comment, subscribe. I'll check you guys later. Peace.

I'm just happy that you guys are happy.  I mean that's an awesome feeling for us so we appreciate you guys being happy. Thank you very much. This has brightened a lot of people's days. It's awesome. You know, just this week my wife and son and her family they finally put up the tree in our house because she's expecting so she can't do everything but they went over and helped her out with my son and you know not being able to do that with them you know kind of depressing but being able to be here and decorate this tree here kind of just you know it's still it's still good but I'd like to thank the people that were responsible for making this happen you know so thank you very much. Does it bring a piece of home here? Oh absolutely, absolutely. How do you think everyone feels about it as a whole? Oh I think they're excited. Well you know obviously I can't talk for everybody else but as far as for our group here, our section we're very excited to get these trees and the smell of that fresh pine too it just kind of like that really like hits you you know because I don't think you can get that smell around here. At this time I'd like to thank all of the Hoosiers that made it possible to send the wonderful Christmas trees to our unit and other Hoosiers soldiers serving here in both Kuwait and abroad and Afghanistan and throughout the area. They were very well received. We had a great trip up to Camp Virginia in Kuwait to pick up the trees, secure them and bring them back to our base camp here at Camp Aravachan in Kuwait. It was a wonderful time. We were able to distribute the soldiers among our command tents and we're now having a contest to be able to see who can decorate the trees the best and certainly looking forward to that the troops really got into that and we're really excited about it. It's always good to have a piece of home and certainly the Christmas trees do that for us here so we just want to express a warm thanks to all those folks that made this possible and thinking about us during this holiday season and wish you all the best. Thank you. Well, I think it's a great show of Hoosier hospitality and the patriotism of the Christmas tree growers in Indiana shipping the trees over here to Hoosiers and seeing the smiles on the soldiers' faces as they were pulling the boxes out of the back of the trucks and pulling them up to their trees and up to their tents and watching them decorate it. I think that it draws them closer to the holidays and brings them kind of back to their roots of Indiana and it will increase the morale and just seeing them smile as they're decorating the trees and they're not playing Christmas music in their tents so it'll raise their spirits and morale around the holidays. Well, I think the decoration contest will encourage the soldiers in all the tents to get involved and come up with different ideas and their creativity and just the esprit de corps and camaraderie that will build not only with the Indiana soldiers that are here that received the Christmas trees but also the 191 CSSB which is a reserve unit out of Utah. I'm getting the partake, the 436th MCB out of the off the east coast that will be able to participate as well as the 47th transportation battalion out of Fort Bliss which is an active duty unit that gets to participate in the tree decorating contest. And seeing the smiles on their faces to get a live tree is just an awesome thing to see in the month of December as we're coming into the Christmas holiday. I would just like to thank all the Hoosiers for their support. The trees are great as you can see the one behind me that the soldiers have already taken time to decorate and all the support for the soldiers in the Marine Corps, the Marines, the Airmen and the Coast Guard that are serving and deployed serving their country. We appreciate everything you do for us.


Mr. District Attorney, starring David Bryan. Mr. District Attorney, champion of the people, defender of truth, guardian of our fundamental rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And it shall be my duty as district attorney, not only to prosecute to the limit of the law, all persons accused of crimes perpetrated within this county, but to defend with equal vigor the rights and privileges of all its citizens. This is David Bryan. In a moment we'll bring you another case from the files of Mr. District Attorney, but first a word from our sponsor. And now, here is our star, David Bryan as Paul Garrett, Mr. District Attorney. A district attorney must see people through different eyes than others. The man who passes on the street may be a criminal, one of a prosecution, or he may be an innocent man who will one day find himself amessed in the law by a chain of circumstance, to tell him apart as a function of justice. This case started on a lonely road on the outskirts of town. How is he, Francine? He's still out, Rocky. He hit him awful hard. But what do you expect for 93,000 a love tap? Well, he isn't just another gambler who can't go to the law, he's an important man. He'll make trouble. Yeah, for who, an undertaker? Rocky, you're not gonna... Yeah, I'm gonna. What do you want me to do? Wake him up, tell him I'm sorry, give the dough back to him? What do you want it? Suckers ain't supposed to win. I run that game for me to win, one way or another. Yeah, this place is as good as any. Rocky, I'm scared.  Rocky, please. Don't help me, Francine.   Don't, don't hurt me, Rocky. I'll help you. That's better. Come on. Yeah, you hear anything coming? How could I hear anything in this rain? That's good. Nobody else will hear anything either. Well... Goodbye, Mr. Ferguson.  Now, we should tell me what this is all about, Mr. Harrington. This week, attorney will tell you. Morning, Miss Miller. Good morning, Harrington. This is Joe Ryan, the cab driver we've been looking for. Now, you better tell him. Yes, Miss Miller. Harrington's here, Mr. Garrett. He has a Joe Ryan with him. Send him in. You've been a little difficult to find, Mr. Ryan. We've been looking for you for four days. I didn't know that all this morning. Are you in the habit of taking four-day vacations from driving your cab? No, sir. I took the time off because I've been looking for a good buyer in a new cab. Why didn't you register a change of address with the Motor Vehicle Bureau when you moved a couple of months ago? I forgot. That's all. Well, you know that's a violation, don't you? Yes, sir, but look, is that why you picked me up? No, that isn't why. Four nights ago, Ryan, just before you took this unusual vacation, you picked up a fare outside the Chelsea Club. Just a few minutes before midnight. Remember? Ah, so that's it. What did you expect it to be? Story of the murders, but in all the papers. I know it. You picked up a fare who was found murdered the next morning, and you know about it. But you don't get in touch with the police. Why? Why should I? I don't know nothing about it.  His body was found out on Pendleton Road. What's that got to do with me? I took him home. Look, if you think I had anything to do with this, you're sending your dogs on the wrong trail. Are we? Do you know we impounded your cab at the garage? No, I didn't know it. I haven't been near the garage. Maybe you should have been. The police lab crews gave the cab a going over. This is their report. Like me to read it to you? I'd like anything and help to clear this up, yeah? According to this report, Ryan, there are blood stains on the back seat and the floor mat of your cab. The report also states that John Ferguson's blood was typo. What's that prove? Lots of people have typo blood. You've been reading up on the subject? I don't have to read up. I was in the medics in the service. I got typo blood myself. You trying to tell us it was your own blood on that back seat? No, a guy got hurt in my cab. When? Why? It was the same night I picked Mr. Ferguson up at the Chelsea Club. Look, I've driven Mr. Ferguson lots of times. Yeah, we know. The doorman told us. That's what started us looking for you. Who got hurt in your cab? I don't know who he was. Can I tell you about it? About how it happened? Oh, that's why you're here. All right. Well, it was after I dropped Mr. Ferguson off. I picked up these six guys. They were wearing those hats, you know. The convention that was in town last week. Shriners? Yeah, that's right. Well, there were six of them. And brother was at rain and they flagged me down. I don't usually take six, but well, like I said, it was raining cats and dogs. They wanted to go to Savin Plaza. I took the free way in. Some guy cut in front of me at Montrose Turnoff and I had to go for the brakes. The road was wet and I went into a skid. I threw him around a little bit in the back seat. One of the guys in the drop seat bumped something. Got a nosebleed. That's it. That's the whole story. Look, you gotta believe me about this. Ryan, just before he left the Chelsea Club, Howard Ferguson cast a check for $2,000. I don't know. That was at midnight. You say you drove him home, but his body is found the next morning out on Pendleton Road without a cent on him. And we find you out shopping for a new cab. And it doesn't look good, Ryan. I don't care how it looks. Where'd you get the money for the new cab? I wanted. I wanted a couple of months ago, just before I moved. That's why I got the dough to move. What do you mean by one? I want the guys around the garage. We used to play the number one. You know, the numbers racked. And you won. Yes, I won.  I know it, but that's where I got the dough. I spent part of it moving. I was holding the rest until now to buy a new cab when the new models came out. They came out the day before yesterday. That's where the dough come from, honest to this. Okay. Then there's only one other thing you have to tell us about. Who sold you the numbers? A guy named Willie Lamont. Where can we find him? I mean, you don't know. Well, he hasn't been around the garage in a couple of months. All of a sudden, he just stopped coming around. And any of the other cab drivers verify that you won that money? No. I never told any of it. Ryan, your story is pretty thin. You've improved a part about the blood, can't you? Find the six guys I picked up. Almost 40,000 of them come in for the convention from every state in the country. The convention ended yesterday. Our chances of finding them might have been good while they were still in town. And you went till this morning. And you didn't come in on your own. I swear to you, I took Ferguson home. Then how did his body get out on a penitent road? Wait a minute. I just remembered something. You better remember for your own good. What is it, Ryan? When I took him home, there's a big circular driveway at his place. Well, there was a car in front of the house when I let him out. I passed right next to it. There was a couple of people in the car. It was a limousine. Yes. You didn't wait to find out? I collect them a fair and blue. Ryan, nobody saw that car except you. Servants didn't see anything. They didn't even hear your care, Brian. It was raining so hard, the rain kept them from hearing. That could be one explanation. What other explanation could there be? The one that all the evidence seems to point to. Ryan, you never took Ferguson home. This is a frame. It's a frame. Mr. Ferguson was a big shot, no matter what I tell you. Everything you said will be checked, Ryan. Every single point. If you're innocent, I want to know it. I have no choice but to hold you. I know. Take him over to the county jail and book him, Harrington. Then come back and meet me in the record room. Okay, Chief. Come on, Ryan. Miss Miller? Call the county sheriff's office if I squad detail. I ask for Sergeant Payne. Yes, sir. Tell them I'd like them to come over and meet me in the record bureau. Yes, sir. Hi, Chief. Get Ryan booked all right? Yep. Now, what do you think of his story? Weak, but it has possibilities. Like what? This, for instance. There's a petty gambler named Willie Lamarne. Three times arrested is a runner for various bookies, always the same charge. Taking bets on the numbers record. Yeah, but those arrests are all dated before you convinced the state legislature that gambling ought to be a felony. I've been more careful since then. Gamblers are hard to put out of business. No regular joints operating? No, but there are floating places and runners like Willie Lamarne picking up bets. It can't be much of it. More than you think. I've had somebody on the sheriff's vice squad working on a report. Young sergeant, his name is Ed Payne. He's on his way over now. I thought he might be able to give us some information on Willie Lamarne. Look, couldn't I have handled one of the professionals hanging? I need a young man who could work right in with them on the cover. Payne's well qualified, fresh out of army intelligence and a comparative stranger in town. Don't worry, you'll be there when we have a complete report and the time comes from the crackdown. Chief, even if we do find this Willie Lamarne, he's not going to stick his neck out to help Ryan. He wouldn't have taken that bet. We'll have to find a way to make him admit it. Without Lamarne's testimony, we'll have to wait for conviction. Oh, chief, there's a fellow over there looking around. Oh, that's Ed Payne. Over here, sergeant. Hi, Mr. Garrett. The secretary said you wanted to see me. Yes, sergeant Payne. This is my assistant, Harrington. Hello, sergeant. Glad to know you. I heard a lot about you. Somebody else, I hope, you've heard a lot about Payne. A bookmaker's runner named Willie Lamarne. He's still operating? We have to. That might not be too easy, Mr. Garrett. Why not? There's been some talk about him since he's been gone. They say he got ambitious in Chicago. Word got around that he was holding out some bets on his new boss and also slipping in a phony winner too to turn himself at his honest dollar. The boss got wise, student. You mean Lamarne is on the run again? I need him badly as a witness. Mr. Garrett, you know how the mobs are. If you want my opinion, Lamarne isn't on the run. He's standing still. Somewhere on the bottom of Lake Michigan, wearing a pair of cement shoes. This is David Bryan. Before we continue with Mr. District Attorney in the case of the vanishing runner, here is an important message from my sponsor. I'll back to David Bryan starring as Paul Garrett, Mr. District Attorney. A prominent citizen had been murdered and a cab driver surrounded by a mesh of circumstantial evidence had been taken into custody. We needed a small-time gambler to verify the cab driver's alibi. But the underworld grapevine indicated that the only possible witness was dead. For two days, I had Harrington and Sergeant Payne of the Sheriff's Vice Squad check on every possible source of additional information. Haven't you been able to locate Harrington yet, Miss Miller? Yes, sir. Basement garage called. He just drove in. He's on his way up now. You don't look well today. Good morning. It isn't a very pleasant prospect. Well, it's not your... Oh, well, here's Harrington now. Yes, sir, he's gone so long, Chief, but I ran into some pretty funny things. What? It's Howard Ferguson was having an awful lot of trouble before he was killed. What kind of trouble? Believe it or not, financial. Howard Ferguson? That's right. Here's a complete rundown. He was draining money away and even had him on a COD basis. A couple of other things too. Oh, excuse me, am I interrupting? No, it's all right, Payne. Come in. Answer just came in from Chicago. No line on Willie LeMond. Well, I guess the scuttle but you heard was right then. Go ahead, Harrington. That $2,000 check wasn't unusual. Ferguson would have been cashing checks for that amount or more a couple of nights a week. What would he need it for? Only one thing I can think of, Mr. Gern. Yamblin? Only came to business I can think of where a lot of money changes hands in the middle of the night. Payne, when players go to one of these floating games you've been looking into, how are they notified where the game is going to be held? They aren't notified. A slip-up could lead to a raid. They don't tell the customers where to go. They come and pick them up in the limousine. Limousine? Chief, Ryan said there was a limousine parked in Ferguson's driveway the night he dropped them home. Yamblers wouldn't have killed Ferguson for $2,000 though. They had an easier way to take the money away from him. Unless he won. Yes. If a man got lucky in a big money game he might win $50,000 or $100,000 for the hot pair of knives. That's enough for a killing. I'm not in, Miss Miller. Yes, sir. Hello. It's the Holloway Bank and trust for Harrington. Oh, that's Ferguson's bank chief. They were checking something for me. I'm better taken. Mr. Harrington. Yes. What's that name again? No, no. First name. Spell it. F. R. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got it. Thanks. Thanks, Miss Miller. Ferguson had been writing some other big checks made out of cash in addition to the one he cashed at the Chelsea Club. The bank says the others were endorsed by a Francine de Vaux. Francine de Vaux. Mr. Garrett, can I call the record room for a minute?  You got a match, Payne? Yes, sir. No, thanks. Sure will. Record room? Just a second. Thanks. Hello, Mike. Ed Payne. You still got that woolly lemon fold you pulled for me? No, his wife's maiden name. Yeah, Mike, plenty. Thanks a lot. That's something, Mr. Garrett. Francine de Vaux, alias Francine LeMond. She was Woolly LeMond's wife. I heard about it when I was trying to get a run down on LeMond. How come she didn't go to Chicago with him? She divorced Woolly a couple of years ago.  What do you mean by working for them? Bate, Michelle, stirring suckers to their games. Men like Ferguson? He cashed an awful lot of checks. Can you find out where Rocky Jessup is holding his next game? Well, I could find out, but I couldn't get in. Why not? You've been making contact. Yeah, as a small-time gambler. I've never flashed the kind of money they're interested in. And if I did flash it all of a sudden, they might get curious. Well, suppose you called up and said you had a wealthy customer, somebody you'd steered the game for a percentage. Yeah, that could work. But who? You or Harrington, they might know. How about me? Oh, please. No, no, wait a minute, Harrington. How about it, Paine? It would be good. Wealthy young woman from out of town looking for kicks. Hey, I was only joking, Mr. Garrett. Well, I wasn't. I'd be scared silly. They won't try anything inside the place. They'll be other people. Anything they do will be outside. And when you come outside, we'll be waiting. But I won't know how to act or what to say. We'll tell you. But first, take this. A hundred dollars? What would I... Go to a costume rental place, run an evening gown, the best they have, and a fur wrap. Why some good-looking costume jewelry? You drive it, Harrington. But... Come on, Cinderella.  I... I think so. After we get in, ask questions. Make them suspect I'm a cop. That's right. Maybe if you tip your hand, they'll tip theirs. Now call Rocky Jessup and arrange for the pickup. I'm scared, Paine. Do you like a little action, Miss Miller? Yes, I... I think gambling's very exciting. Well, I run a good game. You'll like it. What's your poison? I beg your pardon? I can't hear you too well back here. No, I... I said, what do you like? The wheel, bones, faceboard... Relax, Rocky. She likes the wheel. Oh, good, good. You'll be happy if Paine suggested my place to you. Paine tells me if I'm out of town. Yeah, that's right. Cleveland. Family and business, then? Yes, they have a chain of grocery stores. Oh, that's nice. People got to eat. I said that's right, Mr. Jessup. Oh, just call me Rocky. But don't let the name fool you. I'm really a soft guy. Pain will tell you. Rocky's tops, Miss Miller. I don't see any particular car following us, Paine. The working relays on the radio car set up. One turns off, another one turns in behind us. You say something, Paine? Just telling Miss Miller about the percentages in the game. Odds, law of averages... Yeah, yeah, you want to listen to him, Miss Miller. This boy knows the score.  Well, here we are. Target for the night. Well, what kind of a place is this?  This is just... It used to be an airfield here in a flying school. No use letting the building go to waste, huh? You sure know how to pick the spots, Rocky? Yeah, you sure know how to pick the doubts. Oh, come on, Miss Miller. Thinking your lab will cost me some money tonight. Nobody's going to be looking at the dice with your route. All right, go ahead now, folks. Dark. Well, it'll be light soon as we get through the other door. Don't be afraid. Come on. Looks a little better than you thought, huh, Miss Miller? It's surprising. Well, all my customers go first class. Uh, Francine. I'll be there in a second. All righty. Francine's her hostess. She'll tell you where the action is. Oh, uh, Francine. This is Miss Miller. She's from Cleveland. A friend of Payne's. You know Payne, don't you? I've seen him around. Francine. My uncle mentioned meeting with Francine the last time he was here on a visit. He likes to gamble, too. Is that so? What's your uncle's name? Miller. Same as mine. Robert Miller. I don't remember him. Well, it could have been another Francine, of course, but... Well, it is an unusual name. How long ago? Just about a week ago. Yes, just the night before he came back to Cleveland. I didn't run an old game last week. Uncle Bob said the game was in, uh, some kind of an old restaurant on, uh... Uh... Penderson Road, something like that? No, Pendleton Road. That wouldn't be our game. No, no, not out there. Must have been somebody else, Miss Miller. No, he said Francine. He said it was raining like blazes. Oh, yes. And some man won a lot of money. Practically broke the game. Uncle Bob was standing right next to him. His name... His name was Ferguson. Your uncle tells you things in detail, doesn't he? Hey, you better, uh... You better show me what refreshments we got, Francine. Payne and the lady can just drift around with things over. Okay, Payne? Oh, sure. Come on, Miss Miller. I'll show you the day, Stephen. I thought that same Mr. Ferguson might be here if he was. I bet the way he did. I sure don't like this, Francine. Neither do I. Why didn't you tell me Payne was coming? Why? Because he's the one who's been nosing around asking questions about willies. We had nothing to do with that, no willies? No, but we did with Ferguson and he was asking questions like a cop. Why would a cop steer a rich dame here? Rich dame, nothing. Did you see the label in that fur jacket she's dragging around? No. Madam Pompadour costume rentals. Get them over to the door. Do like I tell you. They've got to get rid of them tonight and blow town but fast. Now go ahead. Miss Miller. We were just watching. There's a much bigger game in another room around the side of the building. Rocky thought you and Mr. Payne would rather go in there. But we have to go outside first and then around. Well, that sounds interesting, Miss Miller. Yeah. Dark place again. It's only for a second. All right, cop. You and this dame outside to the car.  Do what they say, Miss Miller. Where are you going to take us? Same place we took Ferguson and we're going to leave you the same way. I wouldn't count on that, Rocky. Down, Miss Miller. Let me help you, Miss Miller. How's he hanging? Rocky, he's not dead. He'll live to stand trial. I'll testify. I'll make a deal with you. We don't need any deals. Thank you. Take him in, Payne. Round up that crowd inside. They can do their gambling in a cell for the night. Come on, Miss Miller. I'll drive you home. Thank you. You were shaking. I'm scared. I was thinking when they were shooting what could I ever tell a Madame Pompeter costume company if I brought back this fur jacket with a bullet hole in it? What? Miss Miller, if I didn't hear it, I wouldn't believe it. Oh, I shouldn't have expected a man to understand. This is David Bryan. I hope you enjoy this case from the files of Mr. District Attorney. I'll be back in just a moment after this message from our sponsor. Who was the star of Mr. District Attorney? David Bryan. With a word about the program, you have just heard. Rocky Jessup was tried and convicted on a charge of murder in the first degree. The death penalty was mandatory. His accomplice, Francine Devoe, alias Francine LeMond, was sentenced to the woman's prison for 15 years. Now this is David Bryan inviting you to join us when we present our next case based on the facts of crime from the file of Mr. District Attorney. Mr. District Attorney was originated by Phillips H. Lawrence.
