We're back at the Red Hat Summit at the Seaport in Boston, the Cube's coverage. This is day two, Dave Vellante and Paul Gill, and Chris Wright is here, the Chief Technology Officer at Red Hat. Chris, welcome back to the Cube, good to see you. Yeah, likewise. Thanks for having me. You're very welcome. So you were saying today in your keynote, we've got a lot of ground to cover here, Chris. You were saying that's, you know, software, you know, Andreessen's software is eating the world, software ate the world is what you said, and now we have to rethink about AI, AI is eating the world. What does that mean? What's the implication for customers and developers? Well, a lot of implications. I mean, to start with just acknowledging that software isn't this future dream, it is the reality of how businesses run today. It's an important part of understanding what you need to invest in to make yourself successful, essentially, as a software company, where all companies are building technology to differentiate themselves. Take that, all that discipline, everything we've learned in that context, bring in AI. So we have a whole new set of skills to learn, tools to create, and discipline processes to build around delivering data-driven value into the company, just the way we've built software value into companies. I'm going to cut right to the chase, because I would say data is eating software. Data and AI, to me, are like kissing cousins. And so, here's what I want to ask you as a technologist. So we have the application development stack, if you will. And it's separate from the data and analytics stack. Well, all we talk about is injecting AI into applications, making them data-driven. You just used that term. But they're totally separate stacks, organizationally and technically. Are those worlds coming together? Do they have to come together in order for the AI vision to be real? Absolutely. So, totally agree with you on the data piece. It's inextricably linked to AI and analytics and all of the kind of machine learning that goes on in creating intelligence for applications. The application connection to a machine learning model is fundamental. So you got to think about not just the software developer or the data scientist, but also there's a line of business in there that's saying, here's the business outcomes I'm looking for, and it's that trifecta that has to come together to make advancements and really make change in the business. And so, some of the folks we had on stage today were talking about exactly that, which is how do you bring together those three different roles? And there's technology that can help bridge gaps. So, we look at what we call intelligent applications, embed intelligence into the application. That means you surface a machine learning model with APIs to make it accessible into applications so that developers can query a machine learning model. You need to do that with some discipline and rigor around what does it mean to develop this thing and lifecycle it and integrate it into this bigger picture. So, the technology is capable of coming together. You know, Amanda Pernell is coming on next. She was talking about getting insights in the hands of nurses and our co-orders, but they need data. But, I feel like it's, well, I feel very strongly that it's an organizational challenge more so. I think you're confirming it's not really a technical challenge, I can insert a column into the application development stack and bring TensorFlow in or AI or data, whatever it is, right? It's not a technical issue, is that fair? Well, there are some technical challenges. So, for example, data scientists, kind of a scarce kind of skill set within any business. So, how do you scale data scientists to into the developer population, which will be a large population within an organization. So, there's tools that we can use to bring those worlds together. So, it's not just TensorFlow, it's entire workflow and platform of how you share the data, the data kind of training models, and then deploying models into a runtime production environment. That looks similar to software development processes, but it's slightly different. So, that's where a common platform can help bridge the gaps between that developer world and the kind of data science world. Where is Red Hat's position in this evolving AI stack? I mean, you're not into developing tool sets like TensorFlow, right? Yeah, that's right. I mean, if you think about a lot of what we do, it's aggregate content together, bring a distribution of tools, giving flexibility to the user, whether that's a developer, system administrator, or a data scientist. So, our role here is, one, make sure we work with our hardware partners to create accelerated environments for AI. So, that's sort of an enablement thing. The other is bring together those disparate tools into a workflow and give a platform that enables data scientists to choose which is it PyTorch, is it TensorFlow, what's the best tool for you, and assemble that tool into your workflow, and then proceed training, doing inference, and tuning, and lather, rinse, repeat. So, to make your platform as receptive as possible, right? You're not trying to pick winners in what languages to work with or what frameworks. Yeah, that's right. I mean, picking winners is difficult. The world changes so rapidly. So, we make big bets on key areas. And certainly, TensorFlow would be a great example. It's a lot of community attraction there. But our goal isn't to say that's the one tool that everybody should use. It's just one of the many tools in your toolbox. There are risks of not pursuing this from an organization's perspective, a customer. If they kind of get complacent and they could get disrupted. But there's also industry risk. If the industry can't kind of deliver this capability, what are the implications of, if the industry doesn't step up, I believe the industry will, as it always does. But what about customer complacency? We certainly saw that a lot with digital transformation COVID sort of forced us to march to digital. What should we be thinking about of the implications of not leaning in? Well, I think that the disruption piece is key because there's always that spectrum of businesses. Some are more leaning in, invested in the future. Some are more laggards and kind of wait and see. And those leaning in tend to be separating themselves weak from the shaft. So that's an important way to look at it. Also, if you think about many data science experiments fail within businesses, and I think part of that is not having the rigor and discipline around connecting not just the tools and data scientists together, but also looking at what business outcomes are you trying to drive? And if you don't bring those things together, then it's sort of, it can be too academic and the business doesn't see the value. And so there's also the question of transparency. How do you understand why as a model predicting you should take a certain action or do a certain thing? So we're, as an industry, I think we need to focus on bringing tools together, bringing data together and building better transparency into how models work. There's also a lot of activity around governance right now. AI governance, particularly removing bias from ML models. Is that something that you are guiding your customers on or do you feel, how important do you feel this is at this point of AI's development? I mean, it's really important. I mean, the challenge is finding it and understanding, we bring data that may be already carrying a bias into a training process and building a model around that. How do you understand what the bias is in that model? That's a, there's a lot of open questions there and academic research to try to understand how you can fair it out, essentially bias data and make it less biased or unbiased. Our role is really just bringing the tool set together so that you have the ability to do that as a business. So we're not necessarily building the next, the machine learning algorithm or models or ways of building transparency into models as much as building the platform and bringing the tools together that can give you that for your own organization. So it brings up the question of architectures and I've been sort of a casual or even active observer of data architectures over the last whatever, 15 years. And they've been really centralized. Our data teams are highly specialized. You mentioned data scientists, but there's data engineers and there's data analysts and very hyper specialized roles that don't really scale that well. And so there seems to be a move. Talk about edge, we're going to talk about edge and the ultimate edge, which is space, very cool. But data is distributed by its very nature. We have this tendency to try to force it into this monolithic system and I know that's a pejorative, but for good reason. And so I feel like there's this push in organizations to enable scale to decentralize data architectures. Okay, great. And put data in the hands of those business owners that you talked about earlier, the domain experts that have data content, that have business context. Yep. Two things that, two problems that brings up is you need infrastructure that's self-service in that instance. And you need to your point, automated and computational governance, those are real challenges. What do you see in terms of the trends to decentralize data architectures? Is it even feasible? Everybody wants a single version of the truth, centralized data team, right? Yeah. And they seem to be at odds. Yeah, well I think we're coming from a history informed by centralization. So that's what we understand. That's what we kind of gravitate towards. But the reality as you put it, it's the world's just distributed. And so what we can do is look at federations. So it's not necessarily centralization but create connections between data sources, which requires some policy and governance, like who gets access to what. And also think about those domain experts, maybe being the primary source of surfacing a model that you don't necessarily have to know how it was trained or what the internals are. You're using it more to query it as the domain expert produces this model. You're in a different part of the organization just leveraging some work that somebody else has done. Which is how we build software, reusable components in software. So I think building that mindset into data and the whole process of creating value from data is going to be a really critical part of how we roll forward. So there are two things in your keynote.   But so I'm in awe of that. I got the space helmet picture and all that. That's awesome. It really hats off to you.  And the reason it angered me is because I feel like it's the mathematicians taking over baseball. Now he's saying you're a better skier because of that. But those are two great edge examples and there's a billion of them. So talk about your edge strategy, kind of your passion there, how you see that all evolving. Well, first of all, we see the edge as a fundamental part of the future of computing. So in that centralization, decentralization, pendulum swing, we're definitely on the path towards distributed computing and that is edge and that's because of data and also because of the compute capabilities that we have in hardware. So hardware gets more capable, lower power, can bring certain types of accelerators into the mix and you really create this world where what's happening in a virtual context and what's happening in a physical context can come together through this distributed computing system. Our view is that's hybrid. That's what we've been working on for years. Just the difference was maybe originally it was focused on data center, cloud, multi-cloud and now we're just extending that view out to the edge and you need the same kind of consistency for development, for operations in the edge that you do in that hybrid world. So that's really where we're placing our focus and then it gets into all the different use cases and it's really, that's the fun part. I think shift gears a little bit because another remarkable statistic you decided during your keynote was a forester study that said 99% of all applications now have open source in them. What are the implications of that for those who are building applications in terms of license compliance and more importantly I think confidence in the code that they're borrowing from open source projects? Yeah, well I think first and foremost it says open source is one. We see that that was audited code bases which means there's mission critical code bases. We see that it's pervasive, it's absolutely everywhere and that means developers are pulling dependencies into their applications based on all of the genius that's happening in open source communities which I think we should celebrate. Right after we're finished celebrating we got to look at what are the implications, right? And that shows up as are there security vulnerabilities that become ubiquitous because we're using similar dependencies? What is your process for vetting code that you bring into your organization and push into production? You know that process for the code you author, what about your dependencies? And I think that's an important part of understanding and certainly there are some license implications. You know what are you required to do when you use that code? What has your, you've been given that code on a license from the open source community or are you compliant with that license? That's, some of those are reasonably well understood. Some of those are newer to the enterprise so I think we have to look at this holistically and really help enterprises build safe application code that goes into production and runs their business. We saw Intel up in these keynotes today. We heard from NVIDIA, both companies are coming on. We know you've done a lot of work with ARM over the years. I think Graviton was one of the announcements this week so I'd love to see that. I want to run something by you as a technologist. The premise is, you know we used to live in this CPU centric world. We marched to the cadence of Moore's Law and now we're seeing the combinatorial factors of CPU, GPU, NPU, accelerators and other supporting components IO and controllers and NICs all adding up. It seems like we're shifting from a processor centric world to a connect centric world on the hardware side. First of all, do you buy that premise and does hardware matter anymore with all the cloud? Hardware totally matters. I mean, the cloud tried to convince us that hardware doesn't matter and it actually failed and the reason I say that is because if you go to a cloud you'll find hundreds of different instance types that are all reflections of different types of assemblies of hardware. Faster IO, better storage, certain sizes of memory, all of that is a reflection of applications need certain types of environments for acceleration, for performance to do their job. Now, I do think there's an element of we're decomposing compute into all of these different sort of accelerators and the only way to bring that back together is connectivity through the network. But there's also SOCs when you get to the edge where you can integrate the entire system onto a pretty small device. I think the important part here is we're leveraging hardware to do interesting work on behalf of applications that makes hardware exciting and as an operating system geek, I couldn't be more thrilled because that's what we do. We enable hardware, we get down into the bits and bytes and poke registers and bring things to life. There's a lot happening in the hardware world and applications can't always follow it directly. They need that level of indirection through a software abstraction and that's really what we're bringing to life here. We've seen now hardware specific AI, AI chips and AI SOCs emerge. How do you make decisions about what you're going to support or do you try to support all of them? Well, we definitely have a breadth view of support and we're also just driven by customer demand. Where customers are interested. We work closely with our partners. We understand what their roadmaps are. We plan together ahead of time and we know where they're making investments and we work with our customers. What are the best chips that support their business needs and we focus there first, but it ends up being a pretty broad list of hardware that we support. I could pick your brain for an hour. We didn't even get into super cloud. Chris, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. It's great to have you. Absolutely, thanks for having me. All right, thank you for watching. Keep it right there. Paul Gill and Dave Vellante, theCUBE's live coverage of Red Hat Summit 2022 from Boston. We'll be right back.


Hey, hey, did you hear? Coronavirus was actually created by people in a lab, and this whole thing is a calculated attack on the world at large. Oh, shh. That's such a level one conspiracy theory. I've heard way better. Oh, yeah? Like what? The outbreak of Coronavirus was planned for many years, and originally comes from reptile aliens who took over the mind of Bill Gates and the ruling elite who tried to use the virus to wipe out a few billion people for population control, but they failed. And so they are using our quarantine to put up 5G towers when we're all inside, to cause more damage to people's well-being because 5G disrupts the human energy field, all the while separating human beings physically and emotionally so that we forget how connected we are and give up control to the powers that be. But, while this was going on, there is an even greater plan at work to reveal to the world the truth about who has been controlling us, and this plan is purposefully putting pressure on humanity to force us to evolve, allowing old social systems to collapse as we awaken to a higher truth about who and what we really are. Conspiracy? I think not. Whoa. Yeah, I mean, I guess in contrast, the first thing I said kind of does sound ridiculous. It's okay. We've all been there. Hey, uh, did you guys hear the one about how nature is using the virus to teach us humans that we are actually the real virus to the planet? Just like Agent Smith said in the Matrix? All a part of the master plan.


Greetings my esteemed supporters. I am checking in from a beautiful and cold Scandinavia I am braving the cold because I have the greatest insight the greatest teaching the greatest advice possible to give to you and I have you have probably seen me quote Aristotle many times over all of these years and his best quote and What basically sums up this fine video is? Excellence is a habit. So I titled this video something along the lines of your greatest victory your greatest triumph and your greatest mistake now you might look now you might look at certain things why certain things happen to certain Individuals and you might wonder why that is and I can tell you that it's basically all about your habits.  So if you look on I can take a few examples from my own life if we're talking about gaining a an audience on social media gaining Many subscribers on a video platform I've never had one video which really took off. I've never had a viral video But what I have had over all of these years. I've had a a consistently Good enough quality to facilitate growth. Now, of course there are many Better video makers than myself. I can say that Dauntless is a better book than the majority of books And I can say that my podcast is better perhaps than many other podcasts. I'm not so Narcissistic when it comes to the videos because I understand that yeah, there are better video makers But the quality has been good enough at least to it's been good enough consistently over a long period of time and That has enabled me to yeah for you to see this right now. So it's never been once I've had a You know home run shot or anything like that. It's been a consistent progression over all of these years It's been a habit too. I do try to make videos. I do try to give some insight that might improve your life That is my approach to making videos. So it should be a Hopefully a pleasant video to watch. I am yeah, that's why I like to make videos in nature so you can look at a nice blue sky and Yeah, you can hopefully gain some insights that you can incorporate into your life So that is my perspective when it comes to video making. It's not about one single video which really Made me take off or anything But it's a consistently good enough quality So that is in terms of video making. It's a habit. I have tried to Get into my video making and of course I've also tried to make the Videos better I've tried to continue my own path of enlightenment to be able to give better insights and stuff like that Which actually brings me to my own? Greatest victory. I would say at least when I analyze things. It's probably That I got into the habit of reading at an early age Because that has helped me especially when it comes to content creation now. I've been a content creator for eight Millennia My spirit has lived for so long as a venerable ancient so I have I Have read a lot of books. Perhaps my spirit was actually present in the library of Alexandria When it was still up and running who knows Anyway point being is that I have been I am supremely thankful for having gotten into that habit because it has helped me tremendously when yeah during my my Journey as a content creator, you know posting stuff on social media for eight years you you will need to have a lot of content in your mind to share So and a little anecdote here Back in the day. I had a gym friend. We were walking through Uppsala and we went past the English bookshop and I pointed to it and said that's my Favorite shop in all of the world and he looked at me disbelievingly and he said I can't imagine you sitting down calmly to read a book Now he had only seen me Basically in the gym when I was all hyped up. I wanted to do some heavy deadlifts So it's a completely different energy you bring into the gym, of course, then you when you are home with a book Anyway, that was a little anecdote point being that I am supremely thankful for having gotten into the habit of reading at an early age so it was not a Single book or a single video or a single documentary that That's triggered my path to That enabled my my great enlightenment. I apologize for sounding very narcissistic here when I say how Enlightened I am but yeah, I'm sure you understand what what I mean when I say that so anyway, that is one thing and I'm also trying to on Yeah here in when I make videos and When I post book reviews to my site when I post pictures of books I'm also trying to get you into the habit of reading because I know it's supremely important and The more you read the easier reading gets so you can start off by reading easier books and then when you get into the the rhythm you can delve into deeper esoteric materials So it's a bit like the gym you start with a lightweight and then you work your way up Speaking of which of course the yeah, perhaps the most important habit. I have ever gotten into is the the temple of iron and Same thing here. I've never had one particular session that's been Extraordinarily good. I have had many sessions that were Extremely good. Many of them are yeah, you can search on my channel for Deadlifts or whatever you'll see some epic sessions But the point is that I've gotten into I got into a good habit a good routine early on Over 10 years ago now What a long time I've been at it, but yeah, the victory for me was not any particular competition or Training session it was getting into the habit if you search on my channel for The golden one strongman you will actually get to a strongman competition for students That I won but the victory itself Was actually that I made a cool video out of it The victory was not that I got a medal the victory was that I could post it to YouTube And also that wasn't even my most popular video because I've made more popular Training videos. So my point is that it's the habit. It's the routine. It's consistently Putting out good stuff. That is the victory itself same thing if we're talking about Business or whatever It's not one product that really sets everything off. It's a consistently good output of great products like this Fine wool sweater for example, so it's again. It's a habit of excellence. So anyway, that was my own my own Experiences with habits if I look at the good things I have it's because of habits and I made a video a while back saying Same jokingly, but yeah, it's actually true that most people at least that most people at least they do like me Why yes, it's because I have a habit of being kind and polite to people and That is when you go in with that habit if you have a habit of treating others in a nice way they will respond and treat you in a similar way and Yeah, this is a bit of a tangent But I want to emphasize it as often as possible that you should always be kind and polite to people who are working in Professions where they have to deal with a lot of people So always be nice to the waitress always be nice to the bus driver always be nice to anyone at the cashier Because chances are that they have to work an entire day dealing with a lot of idiots who are rude and Unpleasant So then you have a good opportunity to bring some light to those individuals and you will notice if you are a bit polite and kind they will respond and Yeah, enhancing your day as well and ultimately it costs you absolutely nothing to be kind and polite to someone But it will make you feel better. It will make someone else feel better and if you believe in karma. Yeah, it's What comes around goes around so the universe will treat you better if you treat others in a good way So if you wonder how someone can be popular and well-eliked It's probably because they have a good attitude. They're yeah again. I repeat I repeat myself because it's important kind and polite. So anyway, that's something you can keep in mind now on to a More negative. There are of course many negative habits. I Talk a lot about porn. I do it because it's a No matter how much I talk about it I know that many guys say that. Oh, I stop watching porn, but I also know that many guys. They're still watching porn It's not because they don't respect me. It's not because they don't understand. It's bad But it's because it's a habit Again keyword for this entire teaching is habit. They have a habit of watching porn so You have the contents of the yeah the pornographic contents Itself and then you have the habit. So you have two things to defeat Habits are hard to defeat Whatever habit it might be and it becomes especially hard when it's something like pornography So if you want to to stop watching pornography, you have to first figure out a way to replace your habit replace your routine of doing things Then of course when you haven't done it for two weeks, you have one. That's your victory So the victory is when you have successfully implemented another habit that takes the place of your porn habit So as I might have said before you can use gaming as a substitute for porn so if you have the habit of watching porn at a certain time each day Instead do play a game that requires you to focus intensely and then you play that until the time frame has passed for you to Yeah, the the usual time for you to watch pornography when that has passed then you can stop gaming then of course I don't necessarily endorse gaming per se, but it's a hell of a lot better than to watch pornography So main point is try to substitute your negative habit with a less negative habit Something else I've talked about many times because it's such a common thing is your amount of caffeine some guys they are addicted to energy drinks and that's not really good because it's too much caffeine and I say this as a Proud owner of a coffee brand. I said that you should drink less coffee. I do it because ultimately I must be As honest and clear with you as possible. I drink one cup of coffee each day now Sometimes I go up to two cups each day, but now one cup and I do recommend that You Yeah, you drink less coffee or caffeine or energy drinks. So if you are used to drinking Three energy drinks over a day. Yeah, try to cut down to one at least and try to just get out of the Routine and the habit because all of these things when you do it over a long period of time It will have a massive impact For the worst so just as you can have a good Routine you have a good routine of getting eight hours of sleep each night. You can also have a bad routine which is to Stay up gaming until 12 or one o'clock in the morning So you might say how can I be as productive as possible? And I say the greatest victory is for you to get into a habit of going to bed a Bit earlier to sleep a bit more Doesn't sound particularly Heroic or dramatic. It's not perhaps some thing you would read from Homer it's not something you would see in the Iliad perhaps that Everyone to create care to get their beauty sleep, but it has an impact It has a huge impact in terms of being productive now. Anyway, I think I have rambled on for long enough I hope it's been Insightful, I hope I make sense main point Your greatest victory is when you get into a good habit when you get into a good routine That is the victory then victories per se might come as a result of that But the important thing if you want to transform yourself to a force of nature of ultimate enlightenment It's all about habits. It's all about you getting into the habits of things so if you want to as I mentioned in The greatest glory podcast episode you can award yourself glory points when you've done something good So these victories award yourself a glory point if you go if you get into a good routine or indeed if you are Replacing a bad habit with a good habit. So you replace whatever habit it can be you replace a bad Food choice with a better food choice instead of eating Whatever it might be something bad you replace it with eating some liver. That's a good It's a victory if you get into the habit of eating liver for example So my point here is that the greatest victory is For you to get into a good habit Your greatest mistake is to have bad habits or to not have good habits so try to get into as many good habits as possible and You will see that That the universe It works more in your favor. You will see more opportunities come to you and you will also be able to To pounce upon the opportunities you will be able to do a lot more if you are prepared to if you have the Capability of acting on opportunities Thank you for watching XXO boom


Hi everyone, happy Tuesday. Joe for jaskiescasegrades.com coming at you with 2019-2020 Panini Contenders Optic Basketball. Two box picker team number 36. You can tell that the next one is already up. If you wanna go get it. It's from a fresh master case right here as well. A fresh inner case from a fresh master case. Big thanks to these folks right here getting into this case. So let's alphabetize your names by your first names. It's a new month, so we're going Helvetica New. We're going a sans serif font in case you keep track of that sort of thing. You gotta buy at least two teams. That'll get you one entry. Four teams, like Juan, gets you two entries. Six teams get you three entries, so on and so forth. Matt has six teams, that's three entries. Nick Stover has four teams, that's two entries. Robert R has two teams, that's an entry. Ryan Harold has four teams, that's two entries. Shawn Matic has the rest. Eight teams, that's four entries. All right, Tyler Brenner, what's going on? So let's copy all these names right here. Let's do that. And let's roll it. Let's randomize each list two and a four, six times. Name on top after six gets the pelicans in a quick two box break. One, two, three, four, five. It's like a little snack, six. Laptizer. After six times, congrats. Matt Lieber, I think you had the...  So you get the pelicans in this one. Let's sort that back by column B. So you'll see Matt's name right there with the pelicans. Let's print it out and let's roll. Nice, Tyler, good luck with that. Don't set your expectations too high though. Very small percentage of that hit list group will be getting a break credit. What's wrong with this camera? Come on, camera, what's happening here? No, I mean, you can't make it too easy, Tyler. I wouldn't even, honestly, I wouldn't even think about the break credit. Just think of it as a surprise bonus if it does happen.  Let's select that one. We'll go one, two, three for the left side and four, five, six for the right side. You can see on that camera right there, it's five. One, two, three, four, five, six. That's the side we're gonna do here. This will be for next time. So this is for the two box pick your teams right here so we know that they're, it's from the same master case. All right, now we gotta figure out two boxes out of here. I'm gonna need too many hits in there. All right, so here we'll go one, two, three, four, five. If I roll a six, I'll just roll again. So it'll be two, two, two, two, right? One, two, three, four, five. And that's five again. So it's the very bottom right here. One, two, three, four, five. So these we will save for next time.  Those all mean pick your team. Right there, so we know this is from the same inner case. We can do the break. All right, there you go. Good luck everybody. I guess so, Brad. First to fill, first to break, ladies and gentlemen. Nice, Chad. Thank you. All right, we got uniformity, Giannis Anticompo for the Bucks, next over. We've got Tim Duncan, Cracked Ice, winning ticket, Cracked Ice for the Spurs. That'll be for Ryan Harrell. Behind Jalen Brown is his teammate, Silver, Jason Tatum. That'll be for Juan Solis. Then we've got Devante Graham for Charlotte. That'll be for Robert and Cone. The hit behind Jalen Brown is Jared Culver. Nice, I feel like Jared Culver is a good by-law candidate, right? I mean, I guess it's the NBA off-season, so all these guys might be good by-law candidates. Raymond DeJesus, last spot mojo. Nice. Definitely has got some upside right there. And the last box. There's Kauai Leonard for the Spurs. That'll be for Ryan Harrell. There's front row seat, Luka Donchich. Cracked Ice. Nice one for Matt Lieber and the Mavs. Couple more behind Malik Beasley. There is Silver Dillon Brooks for the Gris, Nick Stober. Colin Sexton, Cavs. It's gonna go to Juan Solis. And the last one behind Malik Beasley is gonna be Nicola Mele. I'm kinda looking for his teammate. But there's Nicola Mele for the Pelicans. Matt Lieber, who won the Pelicans in this break. And that is number to 149. So boys and girls, we just popped open a fresh master case. A fresh intercase from a fresh master case. We got a lot of box to go to search for that guy. And maybe John Marin. When's the next one of these being uploaded? Already uploaded, Junior. In fact, for the next one, it's already down to, already down to 21 teams left on jaskyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe, and I'll break that one with you next time. Bye-bye.


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good evening everybody. Welcome to another edition of theaccentrator.com nightly wrap up show. Everybody had a good day. Happy Tuesday. Hope everybody is doing well. Hope everybody is trading well and living your best life. If you are brand new to the channel, please like, share, and subscribe so we can go on this daily journey together, trying to put together the pieces of this very, very odd and aggressive puzzle known as the trading world. Right? So let's talk about it. You guys remember the last night's video was very, very lethargic. Right? We probably saw one of the least volume driven days of the year. We talked about everything was stuck in the channel and that we really needed to one of these channels to either get above or below so we can take advantage of a potential measure potential average true range in the stock market. You know, the one case I made yesterday for names, you know, like a NVIDIA, for example, and we'll get to the pivots in a second, like names like NVIDIA, for example, and Microsoft, they, you know, they didn't make the same efforts even though they had really, really great run ups and nobody's taken away that. But we've seen the last four days of lower highs on the cues, again, decreasing volume shrinking ranges, but we saw kind of what the opposite was on the video and Microsoft. And, you know, we talked about a last night's video, if they start losing the five day moving average, they should get pulled, right? And that's exactly what happened. Again, we'll get to the pivots in a second.  You see slowly but surely that, you know, this narrative of the banking crisis, it's just slowly but surely getting quieter and more tone deaf and eventually it's just going to be part of like everyday life.  Just the same way, after like three, four, five months, it's like nobody really put too much stock into another person getting COVID. Eventually, we learned to kind of live with things. That's what the market is doing. To the bulls credit, right? To the bulls credit, we did two things today. Number one, last night's video, we talked about that 306, 307 level that the bulls needed to defend. They didn't defend them. That was the whole point. They didn't defend them. They started getting pulled, cues went all the way down. But to the bulls credit, and this is kind of where, you know, we started trying to put the pieces back into the puzzle. The bulls came back and reclaimed the 10 day moving average. It looked very, very bleak for, you know, for a very good portion of the day. You had semiconductors definitely leading the market lower, right? At one point, the video got slammed. AMD got slammed. All the usual people got slammed. MU came out with earnings after the close. Not a bad move. You got a 2% move. Let's see if the semiconductors can wake up on Micron's earnings. But the point is, this is what we didn't want to see going into today's, well, tomorrow's trading day is the market to go back into the range. And unfortunately, because we did have a kind of a rally here off the bottom range here, we got right back above the 10 day moving average, which was 307. So here's the key levels kind of going into it, right? It's not great that we rallied back because I would at least preferred to get more value out of tomorrow's session. Today, we had some pretty good value. This is what really shows you being patient. You don't have to trade every single day like yesterday versus today when things started expanding because there was a little bit of intermediate technical damage. So these are the levels we have to watch going into tomorrow, okay? For the bulls to start mustering a rally, again, maybe Micron, maybe Lulu, right? Lulu is stretching after earnings. Thank you. I'll be here all week, right? 4% move on, 4.5% move on Lulu. But the bulls really need to reclaim back the five day moving average, which is this 309 level. If the bears need to want to expand more of the selling, they have to reconfirm today's lows roughly that 304.70s because if they can and you got 303, 300, then you have ultimately the 50 day moving average. But the frustrating part about today was not the action in the morning. The action in the morning was great and you felt like we were going to close up the lows. The frustrating part about today's session towards the afternoon is after I logged off, everything came back. Like literally everything came back and it really took out a lot of the value going into tomorrow's session. Now again, as there plays, there's always going to be plays, right? It's not a question of there's going to be plays or not plays. There's a big difference between putting on a trade that works than making money, right? If we would have closed below the 306 level today, then we would have had measure potential another $3, $4.00. That would have been a potential to make money, right? A trade that is stock that goes from 10 to 10.5, yeah, it's just a winning trade. So the market guides kind of had a warp sense of humor kind of threw a little bit of curveball going into the close. But again, we're professionals, right? That's the whole point. All of us. When I say we are professionals, that means all of us.  Whether you decide like a trade, like a professional trader over time or a short period of time with to live out your full potential, that's to be determined, right? That's not on the cards. But I look at the market today and I go, wow, if we were to just close at the lows, we would have some really phenomenal setups for tomorrow. We had some pretty good ones for today. But the point is now that we're back kind of stuck in the middle of the channels, we did put on this little bit of a baby hammer. So hopefully the Qs can start reclaiming back that 309 level. And if that does, you start seeing more stocks kind of waking back to the upside. But at least now we know both sides of the spectrum, 309 to the upside, right? 309 to the upside and roughly 304 and change to the downside. Again, everything else is going to be in between. When you look at names, and again, let's start talking about the pivots. Look, we talked about in the video last night, we talked about Microsoft last night, we talked about the Qs last night. As you can imagine, after the last night's, after yesterday's close, you weren't going to have 65,000 setups. It was impossible. So we tried to identify the ones that potentially could give us the biggest measure of potential. Last night's video, we talked about Qs, we talked about Microsoft, we talked about in the video. Tesla got saved again today. Had an upside pivot. Had an upside pivot. Had a downside pivot. Obviously, the downside pivot confirmed. Got down a little bit. But again, the market got saved. Whoever the goalie is, to me, would kind of steal from the hockey world. The goalie was standing on its head. The bulls were standing on their head. Every kick saved today possible to kind of save the day at least for today's session. So let's talk about it. Last night, we covered on NVIDIA 26350, if it builds below can flush. 258's potential, that's the 10-day moving average. And that was the move. NVIDIA had a phenomenal, phenomenal move. So we talked about this last night. It got right to the 10-day moving average. It lost the 6350s. I said I could get it to the 258s. That's the low of the day. The 25850s is the 10-day moving average. Really nice move there. Microsoft, again, we covered this last night's video. 275 held three times. It builds below can flush. Here was Mr. Softy. Never rallied, right? Never rallied the rest of the market. So lost to 75 that held three times. Got below the 10-day moving average. And that's the frustrating part. If everything were to just close at the lows, we would have had a lot of measure potential back down. But a nice $3 move on Microsoft to the downside. Tesla, again, not a big move. Got saved. I had a pivot. One pivot we prepared for on 9740 to the upside. Obviously never got there. 187 if it builds below can flush. Again, only a $2 move on Tesla. And then came back like everything else. And Coin, I still like, never got down to the 6050 level. And here's the big move. This is where I really thought this market was going to implode. And it really looked like that for a long, long time. Q's got killed. They went from 30750 held three times pre-market if it builds below can flush. So here is the Q's. So here's the 60-minute view of the Q's. So here's the 60-minute view of the Q's. Let's take all this out. So you see this whole area? This is where I said 30750 if it builds below can flush. The pre-market low 30762, 30762, 30758. So once it started building below the 30750's level, stock got hit. Stock went all the way down into the 304s. And then we just started rallying at the close for just whatever reason. But it is what it is. So the value definitely returned today. Again, I've always said and maintained this. It's not how many you trade. It's how many you trade properly. We talked about it in a video. We talked about Microsoft. We talked about the Q levels and the Q's. And luckily, everything played out. If you guys remember a couple of weeks ago, we started talking about the WWE. There was a buyer that came in. And again, this is where we talk about follow the option flow, right? Follow the money. If you guys remember, a couple of weeks ago, we started talking about there was a buyer that came in for the April $100 calls. He sped about $5 million worth of premium. And since then, the stock has been on a really, really great move. And then today, David, in favor of CMBC, talked about speculation for a potential takeover. The stock spiked all the way into the 92s. Again, guys, always remember, somebody doesn't know something. When somebody's putting down $5 million with $18 out of the money calls with a one month expiration. Anyway, congratulations to a lot of guys who are still holding this thing in the webinar. Great, great move for two weeks. But hey, again, it is what it is. It really does show how somebody always does know something. So look, going into tomorrow, it's very tough to find. It's very, very tough to find some long setups. Despite this little baby hammer, I think we're going to have to wait until probably the 10 or 11 o'clock channel for these stocks to try to get above their ranges. It's going to be very, very tough. I could see the market rallying tomorrow morning. I'd like to see how the market perceives its MU earnings. I'd like to see if the semiconductors could kind of wake everything up. But if they start getting faded, we're going to start getting faded back. So look, I'm 50-50 going into tomorrow. I don't love anything. I don't love anything. Like, yeah, I like some things, but I definitely don't like love anything going into tomorrow. Check out the smaller stock. Check out the smaller stock, ETNB. This is one that looks interesting. So ETNB had this really, really big breakout. It's resting now for the last couple of days. Check this out, right? You see how it stopped back to back days? If it could just get above this channel here, maybe this thing wakes up here. Roku looks interesting. Not great, not good, but it looks interesting. Roku's held the 50-day moving average once, twice, three times lady. Let's keep an eye on Roku tomorrow. If this thing starts getting below this channel, maybe this thing gets hit. I want to watch that. Everything else is kind of in the middle of the range again. Tesla, I'm watching on both sides tomorrow. If you look at the 60-minute view on Tesla, this is a bad wick here. For Tesla to wake up here, it's got to really start getting above this whole channel here. Obviously, if it starts losing today's lows, then you could have some bigger stretch for tomorrow. This is the type of market that the volume is definitely drying up. You can see that now for the last couple of days. Thank goodness, at least for today, we got some measured potential. We got some measured potential. It's a pretty good value. But going into tomorrow, again, you have to take off the rose-colored glasses and kind of what we talked about yesterday. When there's a potential middle of a channel type of day, you got to act accordingly. You can't be overly aggressive. You can't anticipate and you definitely can't try to predict or try to overthink. Let the market. Again, let the market tell us what it wants to do next. Let the market dictate and scream at us which way the price action is going to flow because the hardest thing to do is trade and the even more harder thing to do is trade properly. If you wait and your patient, again, a day like today will be your payoff. Guys, have a great night, everybody. Stay blessed, folks. We'll see you tomorrow night on the video. Take care.


When we write, we have to clarify what we think. And so as an aide to clear thought, clear expression in writing is one of the best gifts that I can think of for a university to bestow on its graduates. It is a tool that will serve them, whether they're the warehouse manager, a large retail chain, or if they're fishing in Alaska, or if they're the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. Clear communication, the ability to construct and deconstruct an argument makes for better workers and it certainly enhances the level of participation in society at large. You have to know how to construct an argument in order to read an argument and understand what's being said. It makes better citizens. It makes them leaders in their communities. It gives them a creative outlet that is both modeling and persuasive to their fellow human beings. There is nothing more frustrating for a student who has things to say and does not have the skill to share that.


From Hollywood, California, the Lux Radio Theatre presents Janet Gaynor and George Brent in Mrs. Moonlight. Lux presents Hollywood. The Lux Radio Theatre comes to you with the good wishes of the makers of Lux Flakes. It's made possible because you buy Lux Flakes so regularly. This year more than ever you need Lux because it's a luxable year. Stores are full of the new cotton, smart and crisp as iceberg letters, rayons and silks and many new textures. They'll all stay new looking longer with Lux. Give them the safe care you give your underthings and stockings. Just one washing failure may wreck a clothes budget, you know. Let me put it this way. It pays in dollars and it costs only a few cents to use Lux for everything safe in water. Remember, a little goes so far. Lux is thrifty. It's a different type of play we bring you tonight, a most unusual romance of a girl who wished she might never grow old and whose wish came true. Janet Gaynor and George Brent are the stars of Mrs. Moonlight. Louis Silvers, director of our orchestra and Dr. Walter B. Pitkin, author of the famous bestseller Life Begins at 40, is our special guest. And now the producer of the Lux Radio Theatre. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Cecil V. DeMille. Greetings from Hollywood, ladies and gentlemen. I want to join with Melville Ruick in thanking you for your loyal support. You who listen to this program are partners in the Lux Radio Theatre. It's for your pleasure that we produce these plays. It's your preference that helps selects them and your purchases of Lux that make this theatre possible. Traveling across the country in connection with the opening of Union Pacific, I met a woman who asked me what she could do to express her thanks for the pleasant evenings that this theatre had brought her. I told her the best way to show her appreciation was to buy the products behind the Lux Radio Theatre. Lux toilet soap and Lux flakes. Those women in our audience who are not already using these splendid products, and I assume there are only a few, will thank me for suggesting their use. And we thank each and every one of you for your loyalty, which makes this theatre possible. Some 400 years ago, in a new found land called Florida, a Spanish explorer, Ponce de Leon, gave up his life on the altar of an age-old quest, the secret of eternal youth. And I doubt if there's anyone in our audience tonight who at some time or other hasn't wondered if there really was some fountain of everlasting youth. This idea has captured man's hope and imagination again and again. Tonight's play, Mrs. Moonlight, is the drama of a woman who finds that secret, a woman who never grows old. But what results from this? The events of our play will tell you. A play starring Janet Gaynor and George Brent, who in real life found the end of their quest here in Hollywood. Miss Gaynor is one of that select company of stars who were once Hollywood extras, an achievement not often duplicated. For the odds against the extra are 10,000 to one, unless that extra has the talent and determination of a Janet Gaynor. When an Irishman arrives in Hollywood, he can't come with a better background than the University of Dublin and that's at his famous Abbey Theatre. George Brent, like the romantic ideal of his countrymen, has followed a quest of adventure as a sailor, diamond miner, stoker, blacksmith, sheepherder and vagabond, a trail that led eventually to Hollywood. He appears to the courtesy of Warner Brothers Studio and is currently starring in The Rain's Came for 20th Century Fox. Tonight he plays Tom Moonlight and Janet Gaynor is Sarah as the Lux Radio Theatre presents our adaptation of a great Broadway success. Mrs. Moonlight. Midsummer night in England. The year is 1881, almost 60 years ago. In a tiny garden facing on the moors, a lovely young girl stands in a dress of shimmering white. Her face is lifted toward the full round moon and her eyes are bright and shining for tomorrow's her wedding day. But a dark cloud steals across the moon's face and from the west comes the deep rumble of thunder. The girl turns hearing a step in the shadows behind her. Edith, is that you? Yes. What are you doing out here at this time of night, Sarah? Looking at the moon and thinking how happy I am. Oh, it's going to rain. Only a summer shower. I don't like it. There's a queer feeling in the air tonight. Have you felt it too? It'll be too bad if it rains tomorrow. Oh, it won't. It couldn't. You mustn't tempt Providence, Sarah. I'm not afraid of Providence.  I'm going to marry Tom Moonlight and tomorrow I'll be Sarah Moonlight. Isn't it the most beautiful name? Very beautiful. Edith, you like Tom, don't you? Whatever made you think I didn't? Nothing. Only sometimes when I speak of him you seem... Oh, nonsense. It's your imagination. You'd better come in now. In a little while. Tom's stopping by to say good night.  My maid of honor must look her best tomorrow, too. My best is only a candle beside you. No one will even notice me. Edith. There's Edith Jones, the bride's cousin.  Edith, what is it? Aren't you happy for me? Oh, you know I am, but perhaps I'm a little sad, too. Well, I'm going in. I don't like storms. Good night, Sarah. Sarah? Yes, Minnie. What is it? I have a little something for you, Miss Sarah. Your wedding present. Oh, Minnie, how sweet. You do love me, don't you? I've waited on you since you were three. People grow close with time, I suppose. Well, aren't you going to open it? My present? But I thought tomorrow... Open it now. It's more fitting somehow. Why? Well, it's a strange gift, child. It's called the dreared. I'm sure it must be something very wonderful and very scotch. It's been in my family for hundreds of years. Nobody knows where it came from first, but it's for you. A necklace? Oh, Minnie, how lovely. But why is it called the dreared? I don't rightly know, but there's said to be magic in it. Magic? Aye, there's a legend. It's said that there's one wish granted to every owner. One wish that will come true. One wish? Sometime, you may want something badly, Miss Sarah, with all your heart. It may be that you'll use it then. Sarah? Yes, Edith? Your Tom Moonlight is here. Tom? I got away as soon as I could, darling. Oh, I knew you would. Look, I've had a present already. From Minnie. A necklace? Well, that's beautiful, Minnie. And there's a legend, Tom. It's not to be talked about. Oh, you must get to bed, no, Sarah. It's growing late. I won't keep her five minutes. Five minutes, then? Or I'll come get her myself. Oh, Tom. Tom, do you know I'm very happy? My darling. So happy it brightens me. Fasten my necklace. I want to wear it. So you'll be even more beautiful? There. Well, that was close, wasn't it? How still it is after. How unearthly still. Perhaps the gods are standing gaping. Surprised that any mortal could be so lovely. Tom, we must always be as happy as we are now. Nothing must ever change. It never will. Oh, if I could only be sure. You can. Our love will never change. But we'll change. We'll grow old, Tom. You won't like me to look old. I'll always see you just as you are now, Sarah. Just as I married you. As I am now. There, you see? What?  Stop loving you? When I die, Sarah, and not even then. Our love is forever. It must be. It must be. It's late. Kiss me good night. The last time I shall ever have to leave you. The last time. Good night, my darling. One wish. One wish to every owner. Oh, Druid. This is my prayer. That I shall never change. That I shall never grow older. Oh, let me look always. Just as I do tonight. It's my youth, he loves. Don't let me lose it. Let me keep it always. For him. I have to do that dusting right under my nose. If Mrs. Moonlight's cousin's coming, I can't have her see dirt. Well, why didn't you do it this morning? I was busy elsewhere this morning. Well, if you finish then run along. Well, don't stand there watching me after nine years. Surely I'm nothing to stare at. I was just thinking that a Scotsman wouldn't forget his wedding anniversary. I did not forget it. Mrs. Moonlight's gift is being delivered any minute. Why aren't you looking after my daughter, as you're supposed to do? Who in the world do you suppose I mean? She's with her lovely parent, she is. Do you mean Mrs. Moonlight? Who do you suppose I mean?  I've been thinking seriously of giving you notice. Ah, away with you. Consider yourself lucky to be living in the same house with us. With us? With Sarah Moonlight and me and we, Jane. Oh, creature answer the bell. Gifty, I expect. It isn't pooled and it isn't we. Mrs. Moonlight's cousin. Good afternoon, Thomas. How are you, Edith? Nicely, thank you. Where's Sarah? She's with Jane. Oh, Minnie, will you please inform Mrs. Moonlight that her cousin is here to go to the band concert with us? She doesn't have to. How are you, Edith, dear? Many happy returns of the day, Sarah. Here's my present. Oh, how nice. What is it? I'm afraid you won't like it. I'm sure I will. Oh, sure. I mean, but what a lovely one. Yes, I knew you wouldn't like it. But I do, Edith. No, you don't like it because you think shawls are only for old people. Oh, how absurd.  Do you think I do, Edith? Well, since you asked me, yes. You dress too young. Several people have mentioned it. Well, they're just envious. Sarah doesn't dress young. She looks young. Well, put it any way you like. But tell me this. Does Sarah look a day older today than she did at 21 or 20 or even 19? Well, no. Oh, but is that a crime? Well, I didn't say so. Do you think so? Well, I don't think it's a crime, but it is odd. What do you mean by odd? Just odd. I see. No, please, please, Edith. Let's forget it. Oh, of course. It was Sarah who asked me. Oh, look, Edith, I got a letter last night from Maud. From your sister Maud? What does she want?  Now, why does she think you'd care? She gave up her family when she ran off with that good-for-nothing foreigner. Answer that, Minnie. Is it a boy or a girl, Sarah? A girl. They've named her Joy. Ironically, I presume. Do they still live in Florence? Of course. His work is there. He's an artist. Here it is. Here, what is? Where did you get that box, Minnie? It's a little present from me, my dear. Oh, Tom, what is it? Well, open it up and see. A dress? Oh, and it's beautiful. It's the most beautiful dress in the world. Edith, isn't it lovely? It's a very pretty froth. Oh, I'll be a queen in it. What trinkets will you wear? Yes. What jewelry? My crystal storm? I'd want something with a touch of blue. I don't think I have anything blue. Yes, you have, dear. You know, the whatchamacallit, the dreared. No. Why, Sarah? What is the dreared? Well, it's a necklace made of turquoise. Minnie gave it to her for a wedding present. Then why not wear it, Sarah? No. But you used to like it when we were first married. She doesn't like it? No. Can't she let the bear in the lawn? Well, we'd better be leaving. I'll get my thing. What's the matter with her today? I don't understand her. She was perfectly all right until... Until what? Oh, nothing. Only, I wish you wouldn't talk about her looks, Edith. It always disturbs her. And will it might? She ought to do something about it. Do? What can she do? She looks young, that's all. Well, all I can say is it's very strange. Very disappointed this afternoon. But sure, well, even Edith might have known better. Tom. What is it, dear? I've been meaning to tell you. You must be very, very nice to Edith. Well, I am. Why? You see, she's... Edith's in love with you. Ah, don't be silly. It's true. She always has been. That's why she seems bitter at times. Well, I don't believe it. She probably respects me, but I don't think any more than most other women. Yes. I suppose they're all in love with you. Except me. You? Why, you adore me, Mrs. Moonlight? I don't. I love you. Dear, dear Mr. Moonlight. As much as ever. And after nine long years. As much as the first time. Do you remember the first time? Remember? Hmm. You were playing the piano. I was playing this. May I sit beside you, Mrs. Moonlight? No. Tom, don't. But I must kiss you. I can't help myself. Mr. Moonlight, what a way for all married people to behave. All married people. I go over and look at that all married lady in the mirror. I look my ears, Tom. You don't, of course. Oh, Tom. And it's my belief that you never will. Oh, please don't say that. Oh, Sarah, you've got to get over that silly fancy. I can't. I'm frightened. Frightened? Supposing... Tom. Supposing someone should be born who never really did grow any older. What would happen? Well, she'd probably make a fortune in a freak show. Oh, please be serious. Oh, how can I be serious about such nonsense? But just supposing, what do you think would happen? Well, in olden times, she'd probably have been burned as a witch. And nowadays? Nowadays we have other ways of dealing with witches. That's crude perhaps, but just as nasty. Why, Sarah, you're trembling. Tom, once I prayed above all things that I should never grow older, look older. I thought you'd stop loving me if I did. Now I think you'll stop if I don't. But you will, darling. Of course you'll look older in time. You'd rather I did? Well, yes, I think I would, but there's quite enough that's miraculous about my wife without that. Oh, it sounds foolish when I talk about it to you, but not when I'm alone. Sometimes I feel I'm going mad and can't stand it any longer. You see, it's growing stronger, not weaker, every year for years, ever since we've been married. Sarah. Oh, do you think I'm just sensible? That's all. And you'll always believe whatever happens that I love you, won't you? Yes, dear. But nothing can happen. In fact, I promise you that in the morning you'll look 102. Now come, darling, I think it's time you went to bed. In a little while. I'm not at all sleepy. You'll come up soon? Yes, soon. Then kiss me good night. Good night, my darling. And remember, I love you, Mr. Moonlight, very, very much. Doing with those bags. Where are you going at this time of night? Mini. Mini. I'm never going to look any older. What fools talk is this? Your necklace. The dreared. And the legend. I know of no legend. I wished, Mini, it was the night before I was married. I wish that I might never look any older. That legend, Mini. It was true. No. Can you look at me now and say that? Oh, Miss Sarah. I suppose it was wicked of me to wish. Vain and unnatural. Now, I'm a kind of freak, a witch. We have new methods for burning witches. We burn their dear ones too, Mini. What is it? What are you going to do? I'm going away out of their lives. Tom and Jane. What foolishness is this? Tom growing old beside me. And Jane, a young lady with a mother who didn't change. Oh, I couldn't stand it, nor could they. He'll break their hearts. I'd break them if I'd stay. Where would you go? To Maud in Florence. Tom Moonlight will find you. He mustn't know. And you must never tell. He must think me dead. Promise? Poor Tom Moonlight. Promise? I promise. If that's the way it must be. Thank you. Goodbye, Mini. Goodbye, Sarah Moonlight. You'll take care of them, won't you? I? Tom and little Jane. Take good care of them. For me. The curtain falls on Act One of Mrs. Moonlight, starring Janet Gaynor and George Brent. During this short intermission, we meet the Brownings, getting ready to go to their summer cottage on the lake.  Help me finish this list. What list, Mother? Things we've got to get on our way through the village before we reach camp. Okay, let's see what you've written down. Oh, I see something you've missed. Matches. Oh, please, Mother, put some marshmallows on the list, too. Well, Midge, we can't toast marshmallows right away. We'll have a lot of cleaning up to do. Dish is to wash. Everything will be dusty. Oh, dear, a big dishwashing job. Hmm, that means luxe. Is it on the list? Yes. It won't take long with luxe. Guys, you wouldn't be awful to be stuck at camp with no luck. Have to fool around forever with pokey cake soap. Or ruin our hands with Worcester soap. Then you wouldn't have those rose-pedal hands Archie Smith raves about. Would you, Dot? I don't mean that at all. Anyhow, you know perfectly well luxe is the nicest way to do dishes, isn't it, Mother? Of course it is, dear. I want you girls to have nice hands, so don't worry. There'll always be plenty of luxe in the house. Wise Mother Browning. People notice red rough hands right away. They certainly rob a woman of charm. That's why it's so important to wash dishes with luxe. There's an amazing difference between luxe and harsh wash day soaps. Your hands feel it when you touch those soft luxe suds. And your hands show it too. They soon look so much softer and prettier. Did you ever realize this? Luxe flakes are as gentle as the finest toilet soap. They haven't any of those alkaline suds builders that sting and irritate your skin. And yet, luxe for dishes costs almost nothing. While a lot of women find that just one big box will do their dishes for about 60 meals. So be sure to get the thrifty big box of luxe flakes right away and use it for dishes every day. And now, here's Mr. DeMille. Act two of Mrs. Moonlight. Starring Janet Gaynor in the title role and George Brent as Tom. 17 years have passed since the night Sarah Moonlight fled from her family. Of course, she knew she could never grow old. Unable to find a trace of her, Tom Moonlight has picked up the broken threads of his life. He's been married for many years to Sarah's cousin Edith and is enjoying a middle-aged happiness. Jane, the young daughter Sarah left behind her, is now a woman old enough for marriage. One of her suitors, Percy Medling, has come to call. In the living room of the Moonlight home, he leans toward her, a desperate look in his eyes. You're not listening, Jane. Of course I'm listening, but can't you tell me some other time, Percy? I'd rather tell you now, Jane. But we're expecting a guest. Minnie's gone to the station to meet her. Yes, I know, but... It's a brand-new cousin. You mean a baby? No, silly. She's only a year or two younger than I. They've lived in Italy for years. We've never even seen her. Jane, I'm sorry to interrupt, but if you have a guest coming, now, as to my present occupation, engineering is quite a respectable occupation and the firm is well-established and an old one. Furthermore, my father would be regarded by many people as being, so to speak, in a very comfortable position. Percy, are you proposing to me? Well, yes, I was coming to that in a moment. May I advise you, Percy? The next time you want a girl to marry you, just say, Jane, I love you. Unless, of course, her name is Mary. You mean it's... no good, then? I'm afraid not, Percy. You see, I don't love you. Oh. I'm very sorry, Percy. Jane, there isn't any other. I mean, you're not in love with someone else, are you? I don't know. But you must have some idea. I mean, well... Willie Rag is coming over a little later. Willie Rag? Oh, I see. Guess that's your guest, Minnie. The only one getting off. Why is she looking young, woman, too? Sarah. Miss Sarah. Sarah Moonlight. Let me look at you. Come into the light. No. I haven't changed, if that's what you mean. Still young? Still a girl? Only in looks, Minnie. Not in my heart. Oh, my poor darling. Was I right to come? I had to see them again, Tal and Jane. But they won't know me. You promised. You think that you're Maud's daughter, Joy, who resembles her aunt, Sarah Moonlight. To them, Sarah Moonlight has been dead for 17 years. And ghosts don't often come back, do they? No. The carriage is over here. How is he, Minnie? Tom Moonlight? He's well. Happy enough, I dare say. Edith makes him a good wife, doesn't she? Yes. She was always in love with him. Tell me about yourself. In Vienna now. I was seven years in Florence, then in Paris. People begin to wonder after a few years, so I have to keep moving on. You have money enough? Money enough for me. My music helps. Pupils and concerts. And it's good for me. There's no time to feel sorry. Or to think of him. And Jane, Minnie. What is she like? My Jane. Like you, mostly. I suppose she'll be marrying soon. Very likely. There are two young men. Very nice young men, I hope. Percy Middling is. And Willie Rag. Well, him you can judge for yourself. He'll be at the house. Third time this week. Late again. Willie left his little Jane, but Willie soon came back again. I made that up on my way. Jane, you haven't kissed me yet. You haven't asked me. Please, Miss Moonlight, may I kiss you? Yes, you may. Once. Twice. Where have you been? I've been to Newmarket. Oh, have you got the job? No, but I probably shall, or something else. Oh, Willie. Now there's nothing to worry about. Oh, but there is. You know how father feels. He says you're irresponsible. Irresponsible? I? It's blasphemous. Oh, I say he can't hear me, Kenny. No. Good. He's serious. What I am. Oh, we thought you were alone, Jane. Come in, father. Come in, mother. How are you, Mr. Rag? Very well, ma'am. Good evening, sir. Good evening. Has many returned yet, Jane? No, father. Well, I think I'll meet her on the road. Oh, please, sir, if I might have a word with you, sir. A word with me? I think you know what it's about. I have an inkling. I'm going to marry your daughter, sir. I believe in speaking out, sir. Fine quality, and I believe in it too. I also believe, young man, that at the present time you have no position or any prospect of one. Under those conditions, I don't quite see how you can speak of marriage. I regret your disapproval, sir, but I must tell you that I won't let it stand in my way. Really? Willie, don't say any more. Father, you don't understand. Evidently not. Tom, wait. Minnie is here. I'll speak to you later, Mr. Rag. Come in. Minnie! Your visitor is here, Mr. Moonlight. Come in, Miss Joy. Evening. Why? Why, she's... she's the image of... Tom, don't. How are you, my dear? I'm very well, thank you. I am your aunt, Edith. And this is... This is Mr. Moonlight. Yes, we're... we're very happy to see you, Joy. Thank you. My stepdaughter Jane. I've been looking forward to your coming. Jane. What's the matter, dear? Mother, she's so pale. Well, she's tired out. She's had a long journey. Yes. Yes, a very long journey. Yes? It's almost time for your dream, Sarah. I know, Minnie. The days of first quickly, Sarah. Too quickly. Well, there was so much I wanted to do. Now it's all slipped away from me. Oh, Minnie. She must be happy. My Jane must be happy. If I knew she was going to be, I could leave in peace. You're talking of Willie Ragnle. Yes. Why can't she see, Minnie? Why doesn't she know? And why am I so powerless to help her? I'm her mother, Minnie. And I can't lift my hand. I have an hour past nine. It best be making ready. The night train is always on time. The night train. I left once before at night. Long ago. My darling, you will come again. After another 20 years. Oh, what's the use, Minnie? If only to see us all. To see you all growing old without me. To feel left behind. Sarah, my darling. Joy, may I see you? Jane, of course. Come in. You're my brother, Private. Minnie, will you leave us alone? Very well. What is it, Jane? Well, it's about Willie. I want you to talk to Father. Tell him what you think of him. But what I think of Willie is really very much what your father thinks of him. Joy, but can't you see what Willie is? Yes. I've been worried that you can't. Oh, really, Joy? I thought you at least would be on my side. My dear, I am on your side. I know what love is. Not always, Jane. Are you very disappointed in me? No, but I thought you'd understand. That's all. Jane, will I see you before I go? Of course. Why do you ask? Well, it's a late train. I thought you might be tired. No, I'll wait up to see you go. Thank you, Jane. Hello, Jane. Is that you? No. Oh, Miss Joy. Not yet. Come down yourself. Oh, this is a bit of luck. Finding you alone, I mean. I'm afraid I'm rather dizzy. Oh, sir, I've been waiting three weeks for a chance to talk to you. You mustn't dodge me now. Not on your last night.  You really think so?  If I didn't have Jane, I might go clear over my head. Oh, thank you. May I... sit beside you? Certainly. Why? Why does a fellow ever want to sit beside a pretty woman? Usually because he wants to kiss her. That's why. Why did you do that? I don't know. I've been wanting to ever since I first saw you. Are you angry? I'm not sure yet. Have you forgotten Jane? Of course not. I adore Jane, but... But what? Well, hang it all. I'm not married yet, you know.  I'm sorry. I didn't say I was angry. I may not be angry at all.  Yes, I am. You're not like any of the girls I've known. You're different. You... I want to see you again, Joy. You must let me. Please tell me. And the rest? Rue d'Alger. You'd better write it down. Joy, listen, I can't leave tonight, but I'll follow you. Would it be rude if I asked to come in? Jane, I didn't hear you. Perhaps I walked too softly. Leave me. I didn't mean it. I was just telling Joy goodbye. Was that it? Of course. Well, I really must run. Goodbye, Joy. And goodbye, Jane. Darling. See you tomorrow. Night. Jane. Jane, dear. Don't come near me. Don't touch me. You're vile. Jane, don't say that. You are. You're vile. You're unclean. I heard you. I heard everything you said. Now go on. Go to Paris. Wait for him there. He'll make you very happy, I'm sure. But at least he hasn't a chance to make you unhappy. You see now... Don't speak to me.   Make her leave. Get her away from here. Jane, what is it? I can't bear this sight of her, I tell you. Are you mad? She wanted Willie. Well, she may have him. And you needn't worry any longer about me, Father. I'll marry Percy just as you wanted.  Now are you satisfied? Joy, I'm sorry for this. I'm sure she's just upset, that's all. Well, please don't be polite. Well, I'd better leave. I'll miss my train. Are you disappointed in me? I don't even know the facts. Jane told you. I've stolen her young man. But I didn't want him. I'd rather have Jane's love than anything in the world. Then why did you do it? You were against the marriage. Certainly I was. I knew they'd never be happy. So did I. Did you? And this talk about Paris? She wanted to follow me. I gave him the wrong address and made up one. I only wanted Jane to see what he was really like. Who are you?  When Jane is over this, will you tell her what I've told you? Of course I will. Promise? I promise. Mr Moonlight, are you happy? Yes, of course. Why? I knew you were really. I just wanted to hear you say it.   Oh, there's my carriage. I don't want to go back. I don't want to go yet. You may stay if you want to. No, I can't. Goodbye, Mr Moonlight. Goodbye. I shall miss you very much, Joy. You're very much like... like someone I once knew. Someone I loved. Dear Mr Moonlight, will you kiss me goodbye? Goodbye, dear. Come soon again, won't you? Soon, perhaps. For Station Identification, this is the Columbia Broadcasting System. You have just heard Act Two of Mrs Moonlight, starring Janet Gaynor and George Brent. During the intermission, we present a very famous guest. But first, a piece of news about a penny. Do you know what a penny a day can do for your hands? Here's what I mean, and see if you don't think it's a beauty bargain. About a penny's worth of lux will do a whole day's dishes. Yes, for about the price of a penny postage stamp, you can use gentle lux, as beauty experts advise, to help your hands stay soft and white. If the water is hard, just a little extra lux will soften it and give you an abundance of suds. How foolish to use harsh soaps, since it costs almost nothing to use lux for dishes. So keep that thrifty big-box handy. Use it for dishes every day. Remember, you're often judged by your hands. Make them speak well of you. Mr. DeMille escorts our guest to the microphone. Columbia University has on its faculty a memorable personality, and Professor Walter B. Pitkin. Academic duties occupy only a part of his prodigious energy. He's also famous as an author. Professor Pitkin has passed the age of 40 far enough to know what he's talking about. And he decided that middle age and old age were nothing to dread. So he wrote a book about his discovery with a challenging title, Life Begins at 40, which held a place among best sellers. The author of this book should have some interesting comment on the problem of Sarah Moonlight. So from New York City, we hear Professor Walter B. Pitkin. Mrs. Moonlight in our play tonight is indeed a very unusual character. Yet her wish is the secret wish of every man and woman since the beginning of time. The desire for perpetual use lies deep in the hearts of every one of us. We think it's the road to perpetual happiness. And yet, how wrong we are in our wishful thinking and how pitiful the consequence is. Think of the matron of 40 who tries to be 20. Think of the dowager of 60 who tries to be kitnish if they only realize each age has its own special loveliness. How delightful is the charm of a five-year-old. But would you want to be five forever? And how rich and beautiful the charm of a 70-year-old grandmother. I agree with Samuel Butler that youth is a greatly overrated season, like spring. Occasionally sunny, but usually full of raw gusts. Youth is lovable but immature. But middle age and old age are as deep as character. And character can be as deep as the universe. Nature is always moving forward.  Life insists that we grow, that we live each new day as it comes, reaching out to accept new responsibilities and new experiences. And it is those enriching experiences that give us beauty and charm and keep us young and alive.  They are the ones who know that life is just beginning at Forhey. We cannot condemn youth and its lack of wisdom, but we do condemn age, which refuses to accept its own rich rewards. And now let us return to Mrs. Moonlight. I don't know how this play turns out, but I do know that Mrs. Moonlight is basically a splendid woman. And I have faith that somehow she will be able to discover a solution to her problem and that she will find happiness. You show us that autumn as beautiful colors, Professor. In Hollywood again, we continue our play, Mrs. Moonlight, starring Janet Gaynor and George Brent. Years have passed. Long years which have gradually dimmed the remembrance of Sarah Moonlight and Joy. It's the present day, and many changes have come to the Moonlights. Jane and Percy Middling, married for 20 years, live on with old Tom Moonlight. Meanwhile, in the cities of Europe, a strange figure moves silently, always alone, always young, never changing in a changing world. In a music school in Bucharest, this strange girl, known only as Mrs. Sarah, faces the master in his room. Mrs. Sarah, how long have you been with us now? 12 years. 12 years? Yeah. Had not realized it was that long. Mrs. Sarah, what I have to say is not easy. But some of the other teachers, they feel... They feel there's something strange about me. Yeah. Of course, I know that it is ridiculous, but... Oh, don't say any more. I'll leave in the morning. Oh, no, no, Mrs. Sarah, you... What's happened before? It'll happen again. What is it about you? What is it? Where will you go, Mrs. Sarah? Oh, I don't know. To Paris? To Berlin? Naples? It's not easy to find work in strange cities. They're not strange to me. And you want to work here, Mrs. Sarah? Mrs. Sarah, haven't I seen you somewhere? I don't remember. It's a long time ago. I don't remember. I'm sorry, but I have nothing for you. Concert season in Paris is well booked, mademoiselle. If you really don't name me. I am called Miss Sarah. Miss... Of course I remember you. You played here in 1904. What, that is impossible. Yes, yes, you've mistaken me for someone else, monsieur. What you say you are... No. Good day, monsieur. Do you want to teach my daughter? Yes, I can give you a daughter lesson every day. Just as you gave them to me? What? You gave me lessons too? No. You did? And I was a girl. Oh, no. You... I remember. I remember. Miss Sarah. No. No. No. And the ticket was to Vienna, Freiline? Yes, to Vienna. I... No. No, I want to go to England. To London. Yeah, Freiline. First class? No, third please. Third class to London. Tomorrow, Peter? Right, you are. Thanks for the lift. Oh, it's a pleasure. I say, Peter, is that somebody waiting for you? Where? That woman by your steps, looking up the house. I don't know who she is. I've noticed her hanging around the house several times the last few days. Why don't you ask her what she wants? I believe I will. Goodbye, Greg. Bye. I beg your pardon, but are you looking for someone? No. Not exactly. You look ill. Would you like to come in for a moment? This is my house. Your house? What is your Christian name? Why, why Peter? Peter. Peter Middling.  How did you know that? And your grandfather. Is he dead? No. He's not dead. Oh. Oh, here. Here. Wait a moment. Don't go away. Why, you're cold and ill. Come inside and get warm. No, no, I must... Nonsense. I'll have a hot drink. We'll do you good. Come along now. Will you wait here a moment, please? Mother. Peter, come in. I say, Mother, I've... I've brought a woman into the house. Peter. No, no, listen. I think she's ill. She looks it. Who is the woman? I haven't the faintest idea, Father. But she knew my name, and seemed to know all about me. He knew? Oh. Hello, Minnie. Oh, yes. Who do you suppose it is, Minnie? Hey, I don't know. How could I? I'll go and have a look at her. I suppose she's a very beautiful Peter. No. She's rather ragged and... and young like a girl.  Come in, please. How do you do? Come and sit down by the fire. Are you ma... Are you Peter's mother? Yes, I am. Yes. I thought you were. You're very lovely. Would you like something hot to drink? And that is Percy Nibbling. How do you know that? You mustn't ask me questions. Please sit down. Thank you. Well, I'm all right, really. It's just that lately I've... had a kind of pain here in my heart. Peter, come and sit near me. You've got to tell me all about yourself. Are you at Oxford or Cambridge? Oxford. Like your grandfather? How did you know that? Who are you? Poor Puzzle Jane. I'm just an old lady, my dear. Who's rather come down in the world.  It's Tom Moonlight, isn't it? Yes, it is. Was it just taken? This picture? That? Oh, that was taken a good ten years ago. May I see him? Oh, I'm afraid not. He's very feeble. His memory's gone and he really doesn't recognize people. He hasn't recognized any of us for months. Poor Mr. Moonlight. He hasn't really been the same since my grandmother died. You... your grandmother. You mean Edith? Yes. Oh, I say, if you're an old friend of grandfather's, perhaps you could come tomorrow and see him. She can see him now. Minnie, you brought him down. Father. Who is that over there? Father.  He's staring at her. Oh, my dear. I've been asleep. Yes, Tom. Has Edith gone? Edith? Yes, dear. She's gone. Well, that's good. I'm worried about Edith. Worried about what you told me this evening. I've been thinking it over and I believe you're right. Edith is in love with me. Of course she is, darling. We all are. Ah, including you, eh? A little while ago it was all except you. Was it, Mr. Moonlight? Perhaps I've grown older since then. Have you indeed? Well, I'll tell you a secret. I never believed you. You love me very much indeed. Clever, Mr. Moonlight. Grandfather, who is she? Who is she? Why, that's my wife, young man. Who are you? I? I'm Peter. Well, I don't know you, sir. And I don't much want to. Grandfather, what is your wife called? She's called Sarah, of course. Sarah Moonlight. Percy, he thinks it's his first wife. What are they saying? Don't they like my Sarah? Well, of course they do. Especially me. I think she's lovely. Well, she is too. And what's more, she doesn't change. Did you know that? She doesn't change. Now, what's that about changing? She's worried about that. I don't like that. I've forgotten that. Shall I play for you again? Ah, yes, yes. You always like this. May I sit beside you, Mrs. Moonlight? I'm a very lucky man, Mrs. Moonlight. And a very, very happy man. Yes, dear. And you're a very happy woman, Mrs. Moonlight. Very happy. I think I've never been so happy in my life as I am now. Well, I'm certain of this. Mrs. Moonlight, I could never, never be happy with any woman but you. That's what you think, Mr. Moonlight. It's what I know. Sara, Sara, I think I'll go to bed now. I'm feeling tired, sleepy. Yes, dear. I'll take him upstairs. So tired, Sara. So very, very tired. Father. Peter, get some brandy. Oh, my darling, my darling. Percy, you and Peter get him upstairs. No, stay here, all of you. You want her. I know. Come along, please. Thank you. Thank you, Minnie. She's been up there with him a long time. Over half an hour. Percy, I'm nervous. Oh, it's all right, my dear. Well, there's nothing to be nervous about, Mother. Why does Father think he knows him?  No, there's something else. But I won't say it. I'm afraid. Wait, here's Minnie. Minnie, how is Father? Your father... Your father is dead. Minnie. Oh, Minnie. She was with him. He was in her arms. Minnie, who is that girl? She's someone Mr. Moonlight knew a long time ago. Minnie. Come in, dear. Peter, get her a chair. I'm quite all right. All right, thank you. I'm not unhappy. It was really very, very beautiful. It would be wicked to be unhappy. I'm only... only very tired. I wonder why I'm so tired. Please sit down. You will feel better in a minute. Thank you, Peter. He just said to me, I love you, Mrs. Moonlight, very, very dearly. He just said that. He looked happy too. Jane. Yes? Give me your hand. I'm so pleased with you, Jane. I've always liked your nice Percy Middly and you've done well together, haven't you? A nice boy and a nice home. Oh, I'm so tired. I love you, Mrs. Moonlight, very, very dearly. Jane, do I look happy? Very happy. Are you? Oh, oh, so happy. It's funny to be so tired here in my heart. Perhaps how lovely. Now, Lord, let us, thou, thy servant, depart in peace for mine eyes. Jane. She's... She's in peace with Thou, Moonlight. Mother. It's all right, Peter. I'm sure she's happy. See how she's smiling. Act three of Mrs. Moonlight, starring Janet Gaynor and George Brent. In a moment, our stars return for their curtain calls. But first, a timely word. Here we are at the beginning of summer, and that means vacation time, doesn't it? Vacation time for you, but not for your hands. Did you ever think of that? You're right, Mr. Roy. My hands work harder in the summer than in the winter, but with gardening, swimming, tennis, and... housekeeping? Oh, yes, housekeeping, of course. My hands show it, too. Well, you're just the person I want to talk to. Now's the time your hands are busier than ever. They need special care. They can't spend hours in the dishpan with harsh, biting suds drying them up and then do a right about face and look nice when company comes. You need lux for every single soap and water job you do, and especially for your dishes. Do you know why? Because lux has none of the alkaline suds builders found in many laundry soaps. Lux contains nothing to dry and roughen your skin. That's why beauty experts recommend it for dishes. And remember, a little goes so far. Lux is thrifty. Buy the generous, large-sized box and start now to save your hands. Mr. DeMille. The moonlight of our play has faded, so suppose we get back to the world of reality. Miss Gaynor, I've heard some whispers about you that I'd like to pin down right now. Well, what are these whispers, Mr. DeMille? Well, they're about painting. Oh, I'm sure it was an exaggeration. But if you're looking for a hobby, there's George Brents, a gentle pastime called polo. The question was about paint, not ponies. There's really nothing to it. Something around the house always needs paint. Kitchen tables, the lawn chairs, the cupboards. Landscape or a still life. I'm afraid my watercolors are pretty amateurish. But the furniture painting, well, now that's quite professional.  I'd be delighted to, but I'm afraid portraits are beyond me. If you draw a picture of an orange, and it doesn't look like an orange, you can always say it's impressionistic. That doesn't go with portraits, at least not when the living originals do the judging. Why hasn't somebody seen one of these pictures? I keep them locked up. But you can look at the lawn chairs I painted any time. I used a special weatherproof paint. We could have used some of that and the rains came. I doubt if there has ever been so much rain in California before. And photographing rain is a difficult operation, too. It has to be done on a clear day to get enough light. Yes, yes. Well, if it was a cloudy day and looked like rain, we made sunshine scenes indoors on a soundstage. Now, that's not so crazy as it seems, if you think it over. Well, I'll figure it out on the way home. And I think it's time to leave now. Well, I recognize a gentle hint. Good night, CB. I hope the man in the moonlight can make his moonlight shine along on the clear skies. All of you, I'm sure, will want to join us again a week from tonight when you hear the announcement of our stars and play, which Mr. DeMille brings you in a moment.

The study found a strong association between the Workability Index, WAI, and a single-item question on workability among women working in human service organizations currently on long-term sick leave. Both the WAI and the single-item question showed similar patterns of associations with sick leave, health, and symptoms. The predictive value for the degree of sick leave and health-related quality of life, HRQOL, was strong for both the WAI and the single-item question, and slightly less strong for vitality, neck pain, both self-rated general and mental health, and behavioral and current stress. Therefore, the study suggests that the single-item question on workability could be used as a simple indicator for assessing the status and progress of workability among women on long-term sick leave.
