I'm Mike Lockwood, I'm a professor of space environment physics at the University of Reading and I research long-term change in the sun and how that affects us here on Earth. I started off, believe it or not, looking at aircraft ground radio communications and a lot of those are done through the uneyesed upper atmosphere, the ionosphere and then I started working with a radar system in northern Scandinavia that looked at the ionosphere called ICAP, it's a joint European project, a rather wonderful project actually, I really enjoyed it, we had a fabulous time and northern Scandinavia is a fabulous place too. But that brings in the aurora and then I began to realize, well associated with the aurora is a phenomenon called geomagnetic activity which is how much variations in the sun shakes Earth's magnetic field and I began to realize that we could use the historic data on shaking of the magnetic field because it goes back a long way right back to Gauss in 1832 when he built the first proper magnetometer. So there was a rich record of these geomagnetic fluctuations to tap into and I realized it could tell us something about the variability of the sun so by applying all the research I'd done on the ionosphere because a lot of that geomagnetic variation comes about from currents that flow in the ionosphere so all that research I did was really useful and I could unpick the elements in why the geomagnetic variation had changed into working out what so the change was and that's been a really useful constraint in in actually in the irradiance studies. The way one of the reasons why 20 years ago people thought the solar irradiance between the mortar minimum now might have changed quite a lot although it would still actually be quite a small radiative forcing compared to greenhouse gases but one people it was overestimated because people were drawing analogies between our sun and what they called sunlike stars. It turns out those analogies were nearly all invalid so it also turned out that the surveys that we used were very very limited very limited number of independent stars we used. When that was realized it was thought well hang on we don't have any way now of telling what the mortar minimum sun was like you know we used to draw analogies to some stars out there but if we can't do that what do we got. So my stuff on on how the magnetic field of the sun had changed became very very important because it could be used as a constraint on and a whole new generation of how the solar irradiance has changed between the mortar minimum now grew up based on fitting the solar magnetic field that I'd inferred from geomagnetic data so it provided a new way in and as I say those estimates produced a much smaller drift in solar output between the mortar minimum now than we thought before and the recent solar cycle has proven just about right. It was all a classic example of how in science you look for one thing and you find something else it really was. Everybody knows that climate is driven by our climate is driven by the sun and so it's not a difficult step to imagine that changes in our climate must be driven by changes in the sun. The problem is that changes in the sun are actually very very difficult and rapid changes are almost impossible and the reason is that our sun is very very large it's a huge ball of gas and the important part is the outer part of the sun about the outer third where you have it's what we call convection zone the large cycles of energy flow with energy brought up and then the cold gas and plasma falls back down in these huge circulation cells now the thermal time constant of that outer layer of the sun the outer third of the sun the convection zone is about a tenth of a million years it's just so much of it you can't heat it up and cool it down and what the sun emits is largely dependent on the surface temperature so one little calculation you can do is say well what if I turn the sun off completely I stopped all the energy coming out of the core from the fusion reactions and it gets to this bottom edge of this convection zone what if I stopped all the energy coming through into the convection zone then a hundred years later here on earth the amount of power we were receiving from the sun would have dropped by something considerably less than half of one percent all right and that's a complete switch off of the sun so it's because the sun is so big it's so massive you can't change its outside temperature and it's its outside temperature that determines how much it emits so it's pretty constant in that and in fact so constant we used to call it the solar constant we used to actually say the power output from the sun was was completely constant then we found actually it does vary a little bit it varies by about the largest variation we've seen is about one tenth of a percent okay and the reason that it does that is that you can get little surface features caused by magnetic fields on the sun so those surface features are the most well known ones are sunspots sunspots are quite big bundles of magnetic field coming up through the surface of the sun and they inhibit the energy coming up from underneath but for every big bundle there are lots of little ones and in fact a big bundle to breaks up into little ones and the little ones paradoxically appear bright they're called faculty comes from a latin for torches so for every sunspot there are a thousand faculty and so the net effect is that when there's a lot of sunspots on the sun the sun is a little bit brighter as I say only about a tenth of one percent we used to try to measure the what we got from the sun because we know the atmosphere changes that by going to the top of mountains and measuring but it's still not a very good measurement from up there and so really one has to get completely clear of the atmosphere into space to to do the absolute measurements of how much power we're receiving from the sun trouble is this absolute radiometry particularly from space is a really really difficult thing to do it's it's very very hard and we've had a number of instruments up over the years the difficulty comes in both intercalibrating those instruments so when one instrument dies and another one comes you have to make sure that they're they're well intercalibrated but actually also the instruments themselves degrade quite badly particularly this type of instrument and you can have one way that they could deal with that is they have two instruments on board one they use very frequently on which the degradation is high and one they use very infrequently so it stays nearly pristine and you can work out what the degradation is assuming the degradation is proportional to its use so it's a very difficult thing to do and it causes a lot of debate about how you put these measurements together and there's really two philosophies the swiss have the philosophy that you if because it's difficult you keep correcting you keep adjusting you've got to keep on top of keep calibrating it all the time there is a danger with that and that is of course if you keep allowing yourself to correct a data sequence you can turn into whatever you want and so the american philosophy is much more we just trust the instrument we put it up there and we see what it gives us but i actually believe that you can't necessarily do that because the instrument degradation in this particular case is quite high is quite a big problem so even with that though those two different philosophies it really comes down to the big difference between the what we call composites these where we've taken different measurements and tried to make a long data sequence those composites differ largely because of one event believe it or not and it's in a period between we had a good instrument on smm skylab that um we lost because we lost skylab crashed somewhere in australia um that was called acrim one and then acrim two was on a satellite called ur see our practice for research satellite and the idea was acrim two would be available as to take over before acrim one died so you had some overlap to intercalibrate turns out that because skylab came down early and acrim wasn't uh two wasn't ready there's a gap between the two so what they did was they went back to the first instrument they used which was something on an old satellite called nimbus seven and it's known that in the middle of that period nimbus seven had a pointing funny it stopped pointing in the right direction and the swiss have corrected for that and the americans haven't and that's why the big difference between the two all comes down to that one event so um and the evidence is a lot of treatment to try to prove that models support one or the other all the evidence is kind of supports the idea that the swiss have got it right so i personally think that the um the reconstruction from the world radiation center is p-mode it's a laboratory in in devils in switzerland and i think that's by far the best one myself uh there are other people that like the other one because it kind of gives them the result they want but actually when you look at it in detail the evidence really supports the swiss one if you look at total solar radiance which is what we call solar constant now we know it changes a little bit if you look at that the variation that you get out of the swiss the p-mode composite agrees much better with things like sunspots and cosmic rays and and lots of solar indicators are and but actually the best test is probably what we call solar magnetograph data um this is solar grab magnetographs measure the magnetic field everywhere on the surface of the sun and from that we've got some really nice model um they call it the satire model which i'm not sure is a good name for a science model but um it's actually very very good and it reconstructs how bright the sun would be just from looking at all the magnetic field on the surface and that very much supports the swiss composite not the american one we've had modern space measurements of total solar radiance and the magnetic field and the sun and things like that and magnetic field that leaves the sun and comes all the way to the earth in what we call the solar wind we've had measurements of those that are reasonably continuous and reliable since about the mid 1960s so i'll call that the space age so we've got really good information about how the sun has changed in the space age the problem is until very recently the space age was dominated by rather large solar cycles quite high solar activity um we've sort of just really come to realize that we've been living in what we would call a grand solar maximum and we know that if we go back a few centuries the sun goes into what we call grand solar minima and the most recent one is the well-known maunder minimum which we now know is was real and and there really weren't any spots on the sun and and uh and we know from uh isotopes that are modulated by the activity on the sun that we find in ice sheets or in tree trunks we know that the the sun goes up and down between these grand minima and grand maxima the question is what information do we have about how the sun has actually changed and the best record we've got is sunspots because they go through we they do exist from before the maunder minimum they're a bit sparse but we do have measurements there through the maunder minimum and we now know that despite the fact virtually no spots were seen for 50 years people kept watching so amazing testament to how patient some people are and then they started coming back again and they increased and as I say recently in the space age we had three very big cycles and so the challenge was try to interpret our recent irradiance measurements in terms of sunspot number so that we could reconstruct how the irradiance changed and an estimate's kind of changed over time quite a lot for a number of reasons and but they weren't really very well constrained what's very interesting is this last cycle the cycle we're in now we're just about at the maximum of cycle number 24 we call it it's really weak it's incredibly weak uh well it's about we haven't seen a cycle as weak since about 1900 and the irradiance has dropped on average but not that much and so actually for the first time we've got a bit of what we call dynamic range on the measurements so we can actually extrapolate back to the maunder minimum with a bit more confidence interestingly the numbers that have gone in to say the IPCC report are about right what I think has changed is that if you look in the IPCC report it will say that the level of certainty on solar change is medium I think that could now be changed to high in the light of the recent measurements of what's gone on in the last solar cycle well we don't have a proper predictive model of solar activity it's that simple and and the best model numerical models we have of the sun are what they call two and a half dimensional well which is a nice way of saying they're not three-dimensional okay and the sun is eminently a three-dimensional body and that kind of tells you where we are with solar modeling we don't have a predictive capability so all you can do is fix on some patterns and there are some tricks that you can use to predict maybe five years in advance and the size of a solar cycle seems to be related to the magnetic field at the previous solar minimum and you can use that and that seems to work quite well in fact but we don't we still argue about why that is working so we don't have an understanding that gives you a proper predictive capability of solar activity which means that it's kind of open season for you know having a go because anyone prediction is as good as bad as anyone other one and so it's quite fun to line them all up and see who got it worst wrong and who got it very at best and things like that you're not really learning much about the physics of of solar variations by doing that quite frankly and the way to go is the same way the climate science has gone we've got to have proper predictive models of of solar dynamics before we can we can start to do that and we we just quite a long way from being able to do that so I think that's why people like doing it is that you know it's like gambling on the horses you know it could go any which way there is a whole area of science called space weather and that is to do with how modern technological systems are subject to solar activity and the effect of a very large solar terrestrial event on modern life could be quite profound I mean satellites are at risk communications are at risk all sorts of things are at risk so it is quite valid that we worry about that it's not so valid to worry about it in terms of the solar influence on global climate because quite frankly nothing fits the altitude profile of the warming is all wrong for solar warming the difference between day and night has not increased as you would expect if it was solar irradiance induced the the seasonality is all wrong okay in fact we've seen more warming in winter whereas if it was the irradiance increase you'd get more warming in in summer so nothing fits no it really doesn't fit at all and and there have been one or two studies that have tried to make the wiggles fit the solar variation but when you look at it properly with proper statistics you find that there's no statistical significance there at all it's if you have enough free variables you can fit anything so so I think from the point of view of global climate there really isn't any major issue at all but there is one thing that I'd like to point out and that's the difference between global climate and regional climate because I do think there's a growing body of evidence that solar activity variations can influence particularly winter climates in certain parts of the world and those certain parts of the world of the American continent and here in Europe in particular both those places get cold winters when solar activity is low and that that's a seems to be a statistically significant result it's not a global effect because if it's cold here and in North USA it's actually warmer in Greenland and Canada and in the Mediterranean there's what we call a quadrupole pattern that keeps appearing and it seems to have a good relationship to solar activity now why that matters is an awful lot of the anecdotal evidence for long-term solar influence on climate comes from early meteorological measurements made in Europe particularly in winter time in Europe and so if one says haha this is indicative of a global trend you're actually got a big problem because actually you're selecting a very specific area where there may be something funny happening okay so as I say if we get colder winters in in in Europe then they'll almost certainly be warmer in in Greenland it's to do with meanders in the jet stream warm air goes up to Greenland and we get the cold air coming down from the Arctic we call them blocking events because it's a this big meander in the jet stream is called a jet stream blocking event and it looks like through the solar ultraviolet effect on the stratosphere this might actually be real I think it is I think the evidence is pretty but it's contentious there's big scientific debate about it but what there isn't a scientific debate about is whether it's a global phenomenon he's not a global phenomenon and as I say if there'll be a compensating effect it's a redistribution of temperature around the the north Atlantic and but it does impinge upon the global warming debate if people insist on using measurements from a small region at a certain season they might get something that looks contrary to the consensus view it isn't really it's their assumption what's wrong is their assumption that their regional seasonal measurement actually is telling you something about global change we did some research I actually worked with the the main guy and at PMOD in Davos in in Switzerland a guy called Klaus Frohlich and we were able to show not only had his version of the solar irradiance been decreasing since about 1985 but every other solar indicator had so the in fact cosmic rays had gone up which means the solar activity that keeps cosmic rays low had gone down sunspots had gone down everything had declined since about 1985 now I know we've had a few years of so-called hiatus in temperatures but essentially they they've risen and flattened off but that flattening off was much much later so if even that flattening off had something to do with solar it's a very long delay okay before anything happened so unless you invoke an incredibly long response time constant that then you couldn't explain how the temperatures kept rising in in on the in the global average temperature and yet all the sunspot activity indicators were declining the only way to do it was to invoke this incredibly long time constant that meant that the earth was like and that doesn't fit because we know for example volcanoes we know what the response time constant is we see the effect on global temperatures of a certain volcano pretty quickly and why would blocking out the light with a volcano have a different response time constant to actually reducing the the strength of the source of the light it just doesn't make sense so to me that was useful confirmation that that actually that the recent trends in in temperature were nothing to do with the sun they just didn't fit I have tried very hard in everything I write to make it quite clear that I'm not talking about global climate change and in fact I did a paper with the guys at the UK Met Office where we put I estimated what we took various estimates of how the total solar radiance would change if we went into a more under minimum within 50 years of now which is about a 10% possibility quite frankly and we could make very little difference to the overall temperature rise even when we put everything we could in all the weightings it still made very little difference so I have made tried to make it absolutely clear that I'm not talking about solar it's on global climate and there are good reasons to expect them not to be there and there's certainly no evidence that they're there no credible evidence anyone but I do think that it's quite possible that you can have these seasonal they're nearly all in winter that's the clue it's because the jet stream is driven by temperature differences between the equator and the pole particularly in the stratosphere so in summer when you've tipped the pole towards the sun that gradient is reduced and the jet stream is so the modulation the potential for modulating the jet stream is much lower than in winter when you've got a large gradient between the equator and the pole and that drives the strong jet stream but it does seem to weaken when solar activity is low because that gradient is lower and that makes it more prone to these meanders these blocking events so there's good reason to expect it the difficulty is getting the effect down to the lower troposphere where our weather and climate is but it's beginning to show up in in climate models that have enough layers up into the stratosphere that they go high enough they start to reproduce this sort of phenomenon so i'm pretty sure it's there but i also know it's not global i think we've seen that in the data that if we get a cold winter in europe it might be cold in washington but it'd be warm in north canada greenland and actually warm over the Mediterranean as well so this this quadrupole pattern that i talk about keeps coming up there is an alternative hypothesis to jet stream modulation to do with the loss of arctic sea ice that's certainly possible um i do know a lot of people are slightly worried about the evidence but i know a lot of people who are slightly worried about the evidence for the the solar influence on it as well so i think i think you take the both of them and you put them into the a folder mark really interesting needs further study that that will be my assessment of of both of them quite frankly um but i think it's interesting it's both interesting and it's quite possible and plausible so i do get quite often quoted as saying an ice age is coming what i actually have put a number on is the possibility that the recent decline in solar activity that we have observed could continue all the way down to the next more than a minimum and i'd say that it's somewhere between a 10 and 15 percent possibility that that could happen in 50 years i am certain it will happen in within 400 years of now um i'm pretty certain it'll happen within 150 years of now but 40 or 50 years maybe a 10 to 15 percent probability and that's a statistically worked out number by looking at ice sheet records and things and the problem is that in some people's mind something called the little ice age and the mortar minimum becomes synonymous i'd no idea how that happened because they don't even agree in dates the little ice age as a global drop in temperature from things like tree rings and things like that starts somewhere between 100 and well all sorts of estimates but certainly at least 50 years before the minimum starts okay i don't like the term little ice age at all to me it wasn't an ice age of any shape or form okay one of the things i've had fun doing is looking at a temperature record it's called the central england temperature it's measured some in a rural area between london bristol and manchester so it's well out of any uh you can the measurements are always taken away from urban heat islands unless they grow and things like that and um it goes right back to the 1650s okay now if you look at those temperatures from the mortar minimum uh i think it's statistically true that there are more cold winters then which is the solar influence on cold european winters that i think is is potentially there um but they weren't unremittingly cold and in fact the coldest winter in the whole 350 year central england temperature record is 1683 to 1684 um that winter the if you just shift on two years from there so still right bang in the middle of the mortar minimum you have the fifth warmest winter in the whole central england temperature record so the idea that the term the little ice age gives this impression that it was unremittingly cold you know all the winters were freezing well no actually there were some plenty of warm winters in the mortar minimum certainly in central england um the summers don't really show much difference between the mortar minimum you know so i hate the term little ice age and i think it's abused i think people use it to say it it wasn't an ice age of any shape or form it may have been a period of slightly lower global average temperatures but it wasn't an ice age and and there's plenty of fluctuation level around it so i think to me using the term is just playing with words it's building your argument on a misconception i i i think it's also quite useful to point out that if your logical argument is resting on the interpretation of a name given to something it's not a good argument okay i think i could call you know uh anything anything to try and make a theory stand up all right but it's just bad logic it's just bad sloppy thinking to say oh that was a little this was a little ice age and you know what think about it it wasn't a little ice age it was a period of slightly lower temperatures on a global scale maybe and as i say most the evidence for that comes from trees it's actually what we really know is a period where globally summers seem to have been a little less good well that's that's not an ice age by any means the winters were more variable if anything i think there are some really interesting questions we certainly anything to do with solar variability where does it come from if we're ever going to get on top of predicting it properly we're going to have to understand that so i think um there's a whole lot of almost catching up to do until we've got solar models equivalent to climate models um we we're we're never going to be able to get anywhere so um so that that's i think that's really interesting it's a very challenging area as well actually it's not easy but there are some good missions coming up like um there's a european space agency mission called solar orbiter and and that's going to be really really fun to look at that it'll fly over the poles and look at the sun every which way and we'll actually learn an awful lot about the solar variability from that and as i say modeling's got a big part to play so that that's one area um this whole area of how stratospheric changes because the stratosphere is undoubtedly under quite considerable solar control but how do you get how does this thin gas at the top of the atmosphere percolate down and cause anything in the troposphere um as i said i think the effects and not global i think they're they're regional and seasonal and and patchy and region and so one region changes in one way and the other the other but i think my belief is that they're there and that becomes a whole interesting area there's a really interesting area in in atmospheric chemistry um uh in that sort of area as well um that they're with the chemistry and dynamics of the of the stratosphere have not been mixed up together very well in models so that that that's interesting i recently became a grandad twice over and that they're wonderful kids i want the best for them i want the best world for them and i am seriously worried that actually if we don't start taking the threat seriously understanding it and understanding how we can mitigate control that then i'm really worried about their future


Hello friends, in this video I am going to discuss 10 points for effective preparation in your exams. 1. Planning In planning, we need to create a proper schedule considering the time which is available to us and we can contribute for the effective preparation. From that we need to prepare a feasible and also a productive schedule based on that we need to set certain timelines and it should be periodically updated. And remember while planning, we should not miss out the time for revision strategies because revisions are very key parameters in exams that make you clearly reproduce in exams and confidently approach your exams. My second advice is never believe in your memory. The greatest enemy or threat during exam preparations is your memory. You believe in your memory more but memory is one inherent thing within you which you trust the most. What you need to know is you need to understand your potential for memory and you need to identify that threshold and you need to read above that particular threshold and based on that you need to schedule your time and remember in all our exams memory is getting tested not your intelligence. So hard work will be rewarded more than your smart work. So always remember memory is tested, it needs just hard work and also repetitive work. Then while doing this planning you should be emotionally intelligent. Emotional intelligence is knowing one's own potential, one's own limitation, one's memory threshold and you need to execute your plan accordingly. In your life also this emotional intelligence decides the success by 80% and only 20% is decided by your intelligent portion. So this emotional portion is very much important in case of your success in exams. Then the fourth important point is you need to identify your time monsters. During our older days it was cricket matches or playing cricket but nowadays it is a mix of social media, video games, movies and chatting with other friends. These are all the time monsters. What I would say is you need not or cannot completely avoid this time monsters. What I would advise you to do is you need to decide on how much amount of time you are planning to spend on this time monsters.  So after finishing your quota of reading time then you can use your time for this time monsters. And remember I have not mentioned sleep as a time monster because sleep is good for not only for your clear mind and reducing the stress but also it helps in the retention of the memory what you read. So sleep is never considered as a time monster and this time monsters take much of the time during the initial stages of the exam preparation. You need to be very careful during the initial stages and the fifth important point is identify your motivators. You need to identify your motivators for exams. It can be your friend or one of your parent or your teacher. You can spend more time with such motivators and you can prepare and always remember you know yourself better than anyone. Sometimes these motivators can give you some ambitious or optimistic ideas or even pessimistic ideas but you need to plot a proper plan for yourself. So the motivation has to come from within you so that is very very important. Then the sixth point is avoid stressors. Stressors have a negative effect on your body, health and mind. To reduce the stressors you can sleep. If you follow your original planning and schedule then automatically your stress will come down. Taking a balanced diet will also help. You can play and do exercise to reduce the stress. You can listen to music to reduce the stress. You can drink plenty of water and stay hydrated for reducing your stress level. Then the seventh important point is give 100% while reading. Avoid multitasking. You need to take breaks but you need to resume it faster. Instead of doing multitasking while reading what you can do is you can use different study techniques for example instead of monotonously going with your textbook you can listen to some videos or you can listen to somebody's podcast or listen to somebody's explanations so all these different modalities you can try instead of your mind occupied with your multitasking. You discuss whenever you meet your friends discuss about subjects more than other things. While multitasking I am not restricting you to take breaks. You need to take breaks but at the same time you need to resume faster. So how this happens is when we are doing a simple stretch and simple walk listening to music drinking water all can give you breaks but only thing is after the break you need to resume the subject which you learn with more breaks that is the content which you learn just before the break and after the break will have a good retention of memory. We move on to the eighth point while studying how to study. I would advise you to divide the topics based on superficial and deep superficial is something about everything so you have to grasp a few things about every aspect of the subject and deep is you need to grasp everything about some topics so usually the deep topics will come as a essay questions so you need to read everything about it and while reading remember always you should make notes of it and write the notes you can add a sticky note to your page and you can add points but always have a single book to follow because this is going to help you in revision when you look at multiple resources all the resources has to be copied into a single book and that book has to contain what all you have collected that has to be revised according to me any topic studied without revision will not be beneficial for exams so you need to revise for that purpose you need to collect that information store it in the textbook which you are supposed to use for revision understand and read so whenever you are not able to understand things you have to read it multiple times you need to refer internet or you need to ask somebody so without understanding you should not move on with any subject or content and always it is good to remember things by mnemonics if there is a commonly available mnemonic get that mnemonic and remember or you make your own mnemonic and remember that so so the eighth point is divide the topics make notes keep mnemonic understand things then the ninth point is you should expose yourself to the previous questions so you need to understand the pattern of questions how the questions are asked while seeing the previous question bank you should also identify the focus area of questions so the important areas need to be given more importance while you are studying so that is the most important purpose of looking at your question bank then the 10th and last important point is being confident and positive you need to understand one thing so with the available time and the timeline I have given my 100% I have revised it and I know this much and I don't know this much you need to demarcate between what I know and what I don't know there lies the true wisdom that is true wisdom lies in what you don't know rather than what you know and remember success in these exams does not reflect success in life success in life is a different parameter at all and it is nowhere related to this success in exams always keep that in mind be confident and positive is the 10th and last point and I wish you all success in your exams thanks for watching this video


I'll just stick with her. Yeah, put too many down in the water. Yeah, all right, good. I'll put them in a trite. The synchronization of how he was trying to do the first scene. Yeah, point, point.


Okay, we're back, wrapping up Stratoconference. This is the last segment of three great days from SiliconANGLE's theCUBE, our flagship telecast, we go out to the events and talk to the smartest people, extract the signal from the noise, break down the event, talk to everybody, get a sense for the show and we've done that and now it's time to wrap it up. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE.com and I'm joined with Dave Vellante, co-host of theCUBE from wikibon.org, premier research in big data. With Jeff Kelly, the lead analyst and the big data sector who put out the first report on market size and vendor leaderboard by revenue. Guys, welcome to the final wrap up. We've had a good day today. Tim O'Reilly did a fly by, great session there. Tons of CEOs, CTOs, tech geeks, data scientists, practitioners. Dave, what do you think? So John, I think there are five themes that I would take away from this year. Obviously a lot of great developments from last year but number one is this whole concept that we've been talking about a platform maturity and my take away at this conference is the platform is still not mature. It's just finally last year we saw some competition to cloud era with Hortonworks and MapR coming to market. You're seeing HPCC, Lexix, Nexus and now starting to really get to market. So a lot of work still has to be done on the platform but I think it's going to happen and I think it's going to happen fast. I think the second thing John and Jeff is the skills shortage. It's coming through loud and clear. A lot of people predicted it.  There's so many opportunities in this space and my advice is jump in right now. The third thing is machine learning. I mean that is a huge theme that machines actually helping us get to the place sooner where we can begin to apply algorithms and extract that valuable data. And we talked about application innovation. Again, I think it's the early days of app innovation. Really, some interesting startups but I mean this is, you know, any one and again a long way to go. And then the final one is I think the big one, it's affirmation, the intersection of enterprise technology and Hadoop and that's happening in a big way as we predicted. I agree Dave, I would add that my summary and take away that I want to extract and share is that big data has evolved just in the past year and two years since we were at Hadoop World, one year since the inaugural strata is that the size and the range of the opportunity is much bigger than I even anticipated and I like to think big on these things and I'm just seeing a massive swath of fertile ground for startups and the examples are endless, just Cloud Air and Hortonworks. A little skirmish, are they going to compete? No, it's just so much room to coexist, the innovation on the open source, they're all contributing, massive, the business intelligence, data warehousing business is not a do-over, it's a retooling, some old stuff's going to get thrown away as Bill Schmarzo said, but still some integration issues. I think the impact to society and the role of data is going to create a massive industry and I think this year we're going to see the emergence of the explosion of applications from, I don't want to say mom and pop applications but like little applications that make a big significant difference, data ISVs we've talked about, the emergence of data as a service, venture backed companies, picking out the best talent, PhDs and or developers within these open source communities that are flourishing, is going to create a massive tsunami of wealth creation for entrepreneurs, for businesses and for the companies that adopt big data and truly culturally integrate big data into their culture, so Strata essentially covered all that in a range of topics from educating people through an MBA of data science to geek talks on deep data dives to society changing paradigms, so to me I think that range is the astounding aha moment and again we heard from Couchbase talking about their strategies, performance, fault tolerance, high availability, they'll build on that with mobile and analytics, Mongo had some great examples we heard because Sandra having in some nice room, so the coexistence is a big theme that I'm going to add to our editorial calendar because I truly believe that this is a whole new industry being constructed, the people here at Strata are the players that are building the industry and I think that it's going to be a very exciting time, obviously the VCs are investing like crazy, we saw, I mean we saw Mike Dabber came on because he's happened to be from battery hanging around but all the VCs Dave I talked to were actually too busy in meetings to come on theCUBE and promote themselves, so to me in the venture community that means there's some serious stuff going down, they just don't have the time to even do promotion via theCUBE, they're going to do in deals and trying to get those big deals, so very exciting time, again also please Jeff to hear from you about your reaction to the big data study and your observations and talking to the folks here on the floor. Well I couldn't agree with you more, I mean I think actually one of the points we made in the study, which really was reaffirmed here this week was that the innovation is really coming in this market from all the startups we're seeing, all the small independent pure plays. The big guys are here, if you go out into the exhibition hall, you'll see all the big guys, you'll see Microsoft and you'll see EMC and others, but the players that are really doing the innovation that are really creating or starting to create the next generation of applications that's going to take advantage of this underlying big data platform which I think it's a little closer to a majority than I think you think. The platform side. Yeah, just look at all the guests we had on today that are doing some really interesting stuff from Tristata to Lucid Imagination, couch base, data stacks. I mean there's just so many small but exciting startups out there right now and I couldn't agree more. I mean there's so many opportunities and I think there's really no cap on it right now. I mean democratizing the ability to work with data is exactly what we're seeing here and it's just opening up so many opportunities for entrepreneurs. Dave, what's your take on the strata? I know I want to kind of go a little bit deeper. I think that's a good summary and we'll follow up with more content on wikibon.org with all the videos and obviously SiliconANGLE.tv. But I want to kind of shift it into what we've been covering in the storage, cloud and the big data area where there is this discussion going on with VMware, Pure Storage was on, Roll of Flash, Virtualization. All those are playing a role and David Floyd was talking earlier about some of the things he's seeing around the changes in these systems architectures. What's your view on that and relative to the big vendors who actually have the big deep pockets, IBM, EMC, Microsoft, HP, Oracle, what's your angle on that? Well, it's interesting to listen to Tim O'Reilly basically saying, create more value than you capture and I think that most of the industry thinks differently so the big guns, the big executives at all the large companies aren't here. The people that we usually see when we go to conferences, all the analysts and the journalists, they're not here, we're here because we're trying to create more value than we capture because we understand as Tim said that there's a means to that end and I think that I'm astounded, John. Remember when I went to Hadoop World two years ago, I was astounded that there was absolutely nobody from the storage and cloud and virtualization world there and still there's a paucity of people at this conference and yet this is where all the action is, it's where all the development is happening, it's going to, billions of dollars are going to be made on this topic and the energy is right and it's not a fad, it's not like green IT as our guest this morning was talking about, everybody was putting in their business plans, green IT and now it's big data, this is real. Couldn't agree more, I mean, we're just seeing so many opportunities and in terms of again talking about the platform, I think one reason I think it's probably a little bit more mature or perhaps a little bit more ready for the enterprise is due to the cloud model. If you've got companies that are providing services based on Hadoop in the cloud, kind of abstracting away the complexity who can focus on, who have the skills to work with Hadoop and some of these other competing platforms, that's a way that we're going to see big data applications kind of make their way a little faster than others might. I think that all the enterprise guys are coming and saying that Hadoop is not enterprise ready, we're going to make it enterprise ready. The reason why I think it's somewhat immature is because I don't think that's the right model. I think the ecosystem has to build up. HDFS and Hadoop, it's a whole new concept to storing information and distributing data and they've got to figure out the security model and the recoverability model and all that stuff. I don't think the answer is to just plug in a bunch of monolithic architectures for instance and solve that problem. So MapReduce, NextGen is coming out and I still think there's a little bit more work there. I think it's going to happen. It's going to go fast and I think very quickly we're going to move beyond to what Andries Weigand says infrastructure is irrelevant. I don't think it's irrelevant but it soon will be. Well, I think some of his conversations actually don't even hold up water anymore because he talked about a lot of things that just didn't play out. I mean, I liked Andreas but he was just totally off base on LaCube last year Dave. I mean, we're seeing- Yeah, he had some wild ideas. Well, they're completely obtuse to what's happening right now. I mean, you're seeing the technology obviously open source based. I mean, we heard that the bottleneck is not saying the network but it's the spindles. So I think backup's going to change. I think data domain like companies are going to come out of the woodwork there. But more importantly with Flash, the systems architecture is the key. And I think one of the things that I'm looking at is that there's so many changes around human capital and the application. So what I think I'm going to start focusing on for the next year is to continue to look at what I would call legacy big data thinkers and implementers. And that is, you know, big data really hasn't been, is not new, right? So you talk to anyone in the financial business, they've been doing big data for a long time. You go to New York and talk to anyone on Wall Street like big data, what are you kidding me? We've been doing this for years. So I think what you're going to see is you're going to see an injection of paradigms and best practices from different industries into this tech scene. And this is what Tim O'Reilly was kind of tipping his hand to, which is, you know, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Zynga, these are the new players that have platforms. And so I think the business applications, whether it's oil and gas, to financial, to healthcare, to government and society, is going to be very, very focused on that delivery of value on the application side. So I'm excited by that. And I think it opens up a whole new set of conversations that we could track and monitor and be part of. So I think that's super exciting. I just want to thank you, John Furrier, for bringing big data into my life. And it was a great call. And we're having so much fun here on theCUBE, working with your team at SiliconANGLE and the team at Wikibon and Jeff Kelley. You did a great job with that report. I mean, it's exploding, right? Everybody's talking about it. VC's want to talk to you. Companies want to talk to you. People want to dissect the numbers. Well, Dave, Dave, well, people a lot of like don't understand, and we're going to tip our hand a little bit further here, is that SiliconANGLE has predictive analytics and we use those predictive analytics to shape our editorial. And it's not a lucky strike that we're always right in terms of the areas that we're covering. And I think SiliconANGLE with our storage angle, our cloud and mobile and social has been great. Got great content there. ServicesANGLE.com. People looked at that site last year, were like, what? I'm telling you, that is going to be an explosive market. It's going to be great because there's so much dollars involved and it's going to be some real action going on. We heard from the guy who used to work at Ascension saying, man, the disruption in services is going to be massive. The other area is DevOpsANGLE. We launched DevOpsANGLE. I'm predicting here that DevOpsANGLE will be as big as servicesANGLE and big data in terms of attention in about a year and a half, two years, that vertical is going to be explosive. We're getting out early on DevOpsANGLE. And you know what? We're going to have more coverage areas as we hone our analytics and big data strategy. We're going to have more. So that's the deal. And I just want to thank you for being a great co-host. Jeff Kelly for a great report. Of course, Keyin on the board has been doing great. Keyin, Tran, great job. Mark Hopkins running the social and making things work dressed up every day with the tie. It's looking good. He's looking like a pro out there. And Alex Williams, who's here on the ground getting the stories, talking to companies. And so the team of people that make it happen are really the ones. And Justin TV and all the listeners out there and I mean viewers, thank you for watching. So I really want to just say thanks to everybody.


What is going on everybody? It is Stas here. Welcome back to another video. So in today's video, we're going to be talking about the top couple of stocks and ETFs that I'm personally watching and looking to trade Heading into the third week of June in 2019 as well as talking about a couple of stocks and ETFs that you guys the viewers the Subscribers ended up calling out either in the comment section from Friday's video or from the discord group chat in the call out section So if you did end up calling out a stock, I really do appreciate you guys for doing so And I will get to those in this video as well as just giving a gist a Synopsis of what ended up happening in the markets this past week taking a look at the S&P 500 as well as talking about some things to keep an eye on my thoughts this upcoming week and Over the next couple of weeks for the market here So without further ado guys wait wait wait before we do get into it for all you guys that enjoy the videos Enjoy the content just go down below and hit that like button for me It really does support the channel and supports me in general and now we can get right into the video guys So the S&P 500 last week it was a really a consolidation week That's what I pretty much call this past week. We've seen the S&P and the markets in general They've been on an absolute tear over the past two weeks and they finally ended up cooling off last week After we saw a double top on Monday heading into Tuesday on the S&P 500 at a resistance at 2915 which was a resistance a couple of months ago and a very strong Resistance at that and from there again We got that double top right around here And then we started to trend down all the way to 2875 or it seems like we held a strong support and from there We've really just been trading from 2875 upwards of about $2,900 on the S&P for the remaining of the week those last three days of I guess you can say the last four Three and a half days of last week's trading sessions. So again markets.  I think this is it And now we need to see what direction is the market going to pick are we going to bounce from here to the upside break 2915? And then maybe retest those all-time highs or are we going to dump from here sell off maybe retest at 180 SMA the 50 SMA You know these support levels at 2850 2800, you know 2740 these are some levels that could be heading up for the S&P if we do end up breaking down here So that's kind of what happened last week consolidation And you guys can see it across all of the major indexes that we track on this channel the NASDAQ and the Dow included You guys can see it was a cool-off week. So this upcoming week guys. We're actually trying to revive trade negotiations With China the US is going into a meeting and I do have The article on my phone here so I can give you guys what is going on on Monday The office of the US trade representative is due to open seven days of hearings on the new tariffs to solicit public comments ending June 25th That is to be followed by one week period for submission of written comments after which President Trump could direct the office to impose new tariffs. So these next two weeks There's going to be more negotiations between Trump and China and their Offices and all that great stuff. So if they have to impose new tariffs guys, you know These are the specific products that are going to have tariffs on them 37 billion dollars on laptops $43 billion in mobile phones if I scroll down here to the bottom of the article I believe it says 14.1 billion on footwear a total of 26.7 billion on toys 2.3 billion on books. So if you add all this up, you know This is going to be another about a hundred a hundred and fifty billion on tariffs and I'm sure there are more Products that are going to be hit with new tariffs other than the ones that I just mentioned So this is very important guys Let's say that the tariffs they continue to escalate more products start to get hit with new tariffs This can have a negative weight on the economy and the stock market and I'm really excited to see You know, how is the market going to react to this? I think if we see things heating up Let's say things start to get More tense even more tense than they are right now between China and the US They keep going back and forth. They don't come to an agreement things look like maybe they're getting even worse You know, this can dump the markets heavily in my personal opinion and we've seen it happen in the past We've seen this crash not really a crash But a really big sell-off due to mostly tariffs here And we saw another one a couple of weeks ago in the beginning of May all the way throughout the month of May Being because of tariffs. So this can very well dump again guys. I'm preparing myself for that So now that we got kind of some news out of the way my personal opinion on the markets right now I think they're going to fall if these tariffs weigh on them more Negatively in the next couple of weeks and we broke down, you know, what ended up happening last week Let's just get right into it guys, you know this upcoming week There are a few stocks that I'm personally watching in particular some of these semiconductor stocks including AMD And for those you guys that don't know this past week us Friday A semiconductor stock stocks got hit pretty hard Broadcom reported bad guidance and a bad earnings report due to some fears Regarding the tariffs in the trade situation with China and that kind of sent a shockwave and a fear across the markets And obviously hit some of these semiconductor stocks if you guys see, you know, let's take a look at some of them You guys can see this one was down about 1% you guys can see let's see Qualcomm What what what did that one end up going down about 2% here? You know AMD got hit pretty hard, which is actually one that I'm watching here. It was down about 3.28% Apple kind of got hit from this down about a dollar 41 So AMD is actually one that I'm personally watching here for a potential bounce back in the semiconductor stocks And who knows guys this news can very well drag them down over the next couple of days next couple of weeks But if AMD does end up holding this $30 level of support, which was a resistance We maintain this if we maintain this and we slowly start to confirm a bounce to the upside here This can be an awesome swing trade, you know a couple of days of day trading it that could also be very awesome You know if we start to test back up to that all-time high at about $34 and 30 cents coupled with a very nice Low RSI here getting close to that 30 threshold, which means it's very very oversold You know that's pretty attractive right now in terms of AMD But the thing that I'm worried about here is again if this Broadcom news earnings guidance If this continues to drag down semiconductors, this can definitely be hit even further And if it does break $30 guys honestly, I'm not looking to play it, but again if we hold that level I think that's a very technical technically Important spot we bounce on it. I'm going to be playing AMD So MCD is another one that we talked about in last week's Videos and this is one that's been doing very well as the markets have been weak and selling off Notice how whole month of May markets dropped What was it like five six seven percent if we're looking at the three major ones? We talk on this talk about on this channel, right? You guys can see what the McDonald's do On the 1st of May it was $194 per share all the way to till about three weeks in May 22nd It was $200 and 48 cents and then we started to dip a bit Because the the dividend was paid there you guys can see and if you don't know typically when a stock does pay Dividends the X not the X dividend date the payout date Typically drops a bit the price of the stock when it does pay the dividends That's just kind of how it works guys look deeper into that if you want to learn more about that It's pretty interesting, but we can see even though it dipped a bit It still ended up closing above Where it started off the month when the markets in general were down five six seven percent McDonald's ended up going up And you guys can see as markets continue to get More not really the markets going down because the markets were rallying But McDonald's just kept going up as well as you know tensions in the markets are still obviously here We know there's a lot of tensions right now trade war, you know tariffs economy slowing down, you know jobs are much less in terms of Jobs open in May 75,000 versus 180,000, you know retail data slowing down You know, we're getting a bunch of negative stuff right now in McDonald's negative news and McDonald's continues to run up So this one, you know, it does strong guys in terms of a we are a negative environment That we're currently in and it's just always one that I'm watching here on a technical basis right now I talked about it in the previous videos But I would love to see a pullback on McDonald's and either a retest at about 201 on that 50 SMA or Even better guys a retest at let's say a hundred and ninety eight a hundred and ninety nine dollars That would put us at an old resistance at about one ninety eight Which would be a new support obviously and it would put us on top of that 180 SMA I think that would be a very good entry at about three percent lower from where we currently are right now And at that point guys I'd be heavily considering swing trading McDonald's to be honest with you all I love this one again during a market that is kind of shaky, right? So that is another stock that I'm watching amd and MCD Those are my two favorite in terms of stocks heading into this week and a more speculative play a really speculative play at this Point is Beyond Meat ticker symbol BYND and this is a stock guys that a lot of people I've been paying attention to since it's IPO and for those you guys that don't know they make like a vegan Burger vegan sausages turkey burgers, and I actually tried them before in the past a couple of months ago I think I tried them yeah I did try them before they went public and I really did enjoy it, but the thing is guys They're very very very expensive. I paid like eight dollars. No joke guys eight dollars And I got two turkey burgers literally two patties and they're very very very high in fat like literally very high in fat I couldn't even believe my eyes. It was like 35. I think it was like 35 grams of fat for one burger Which is pretty pretty high, but I guess that's how they you know substituted for not having meat I'm not too sure how it goes, but anyway the stock opened up at 45 dollars And you guys can see it went up all the way to 186. This is unbelievable That's a move of how many doubles is that that's like a 4x right there So that's pretty crazy now We're seeing a little bit of a pullback profit taking whatever that may be from 186 down to about 123 and notice how we maintain the 50 simple moving average and we've been kind of Maintaining the uptrend honestly guys you guys can see we pulled down a 123 at a higher low from the previous We popped up to about 147 although it was a lower high It was also a higher low from the previous at about 138 and now we're confirming that bounce So at this point, you know I would love to see are we going to pull down a bit maybe and retest this trend line at about 148 and then pop up again from there that is what I'm personally looking to see here But one thing I'm a bit worried about and what I want to see and why I want to see more direction is We could be heading and we kind of are already in this wedge that you guys can see so if we break out This is going to be a signal to go long in the short term in my personal opinion on Be why and D beyond me But let's say we get rejected and especially if we break the support of this trend line and especially if we break that 50 SMA that's going to be a Pretty bad bearish sign, you know, we could be heading down even lower if we break those technical spots So beyond me. I'm liking it guys. I'm liking it, but be careful. This is a stock with a lot of hype It's very overvalued right now But it does offer some big opportunities if you're day trading if you're hopping in and out of the swings here It's a lot of opportunity But it is a lot risky then AMD and McDonald's in my personal opinion because it just IPO'd Doesn't have a track history. It's obviously going haywire. It's 4x in a couple of weeks That is something to just be mindful of and be cautious and don't put any money in this that you're not willing to 100% lose guys that is very important playing with these volatile stocks and especially in penny stocks and leverage GTS, but that's a whole another topic for a whole another video. So beyond me. I'm liking that one heading into this week Another ETF now, let's go to some ETFs that I'm personally watching I'm liking gold right now guys gold futures and Jnug and JDS T This is very interesting in my eyes right now because we saw gold peaked up to 1362 it broke out of that 1350 level of resistance and now it seems like we're pulling back and we're trending above the 50 simple moving average here on the 180 180 day 4-hour chart. So I'm interested in seeing What are we going to do at this point in time? Are we going to hold that 50s and may at that point if we get down a bit? Maybe another eight points lower the R side is going to drop and at that point You know, we could be getting in on a nice entry point on Jnug on the dip because Jnug is going up Whenever gold is going up. So you guys can see it sold off Right sold off if we bounce on that 50s and may right that'll give us about a 10% margin of profit back up to that resistance I'm liking that and especially with the bullish Technicals that we've been getting from gold lately guys. They're very attractive Gold is something that people view as a safe haven when the markets are rocky. Do I? Specifically think it's a safe haven. I'm not 100% going to say that for my personal opinion, but the general Consensus that is that it is a safe haven and that's why in my opinion the markets Have been pricing up gold because the markets right now in general are very rocky and a lot of people think we're at the end of The economic cycle which no one can really deny that and people are expecting a crash and no one knows when it's going to come It's definitely going to come but it can be in the next two months We can already be in a recession it can happen in a year two years No one really knows guys, but the fact that it's spiking up now You know that is giving me some inclination to trade Jnug. So I'm watching it guys I'm really watching it. I'm liking the dip and I'm liking the opportunity that gold has in the next coming week So gold crude oil is another one that I'm watching here, especially UWT and DWT the two inverse ETFs that trade based on crude oil and notice how crude oil right now It's at a resistance under the one rather the 50 SMA on the 184 hour chart So a couple of different things can happen here guys if we break out of this resistance, you know UWT which goes up whenever crude oil is going up is going to be a breakout potential play and notice how This may be the bottom here not saying it is guys. We're seeing a strong support at about 1065 But we are still getting rejected by that 50 SMA and for us to realize and and really believe it's the bottom We need to see a break out like that and a truck and a head up to that 50 s And or the 180 SMA and a potential move up there because as of now again, we're still down trending We're still getting rejected. We need to see that technical break But let's say you know, we do get a rejection here. Let's say we don't break out Let's say we get rejected and we push to a lower low pretty much just continuing this downwards trending pattern that we've been on DWT which goes up whenever crude oil is selling off This one's going to be very nice and it's going to be a continuation play here on the uptrend that it's been on So those are my top two ETF combos that I'm watching I'm really liking the movement on gold for potential Jnug play and I'm really liking crude oil right now both of the plays there UWT and DWT those are looking juicy We just need to see what direction is crude oil going to pick So those are some inverse ETF plays you guys know that I'm always watching in these market ETFs Always always always these are my go-to when the markets are volatile when the markets are selling off And especially guys when we're anticipating a direction for the markets of pick like we are currently waiting on right now So let's say the markets dump from where they are Let's say the markets sell off because they've been hot. They're consolidating. Let's say we don't continue the bullish run Let's say we finally cool off even more. We start to dump. Let's say the tariff news or the tariff Negotiations they go sour again. That's a negative catalyst. Let's say we dump, you know SQQQ And SPXS those are two ETFs that I'm going to be watching very closely The SPXS is going up whenever the S&P 500 is selling off and since the Nasdaq Actually has gone up over the past couple of trading days during this run up more than The S&P and the Dow in terms of a percentage basis I'm liking SQQQ even more because this one trades on the Nasdaq And it has an even bigger margin of profit due to the Nasdaq going up the most and if you guys are confused by that The SQQQ ETF, it's a 3x leveraged ETF that trades on the Nasdaq And since the Nasdaq has gone up so much since over the past week, let's say it's gone up like 5% That means the SQQQ ETF has pulled back the most Compared to the SPXS ETF If that makes any sense right because if the Nasdaq went up 5% This one went down 15% roughly as opposed to the S&P which went up let's say 3% That caused the SPXS to go down only 9% right so there's a bit more margin on SQQQ right now And you guys can see it's plateauing. We need to see a Pop-up here for me to even consider trading this one, and I do love it guys I do love The way it's setting up right now, but we just need to see the sell-off on the NQ Let's say tech continues to sell off, you know This has 20-25% margin of profit, which I personally love So let's take a look at some tech stocks very quickly so we can see you know how these ones are potentially looking You see Apple here. We sold off about 0.75 percent. We're holding that 180 SMA But if we break that guys that's just going to be the continuation of the downtrend in my personal opinion There's a lot of resistances where we are right now 195 $200 this you know if we break below the 180 SMA the 180 SMA is going to be a resistance So be mindful of that you know these have been running they are due for a pullback in my opinion Amazon Amazon really didn't do anything this past Friday pretty much just chilling right now on top of that 180 SMA Same exact thing as Apple right this could be dumping anytime soon if we break that 180 SMA support We could be dumping Facebook has actually been doing quite well here over the past couple of days Compared to some of these other stocks. It hasn't really been plateauing, but it's just been running running running this past Friday It was up 2.18 percent up $3 and 86 cents nearly $4 per share We're right under that 180 SMA. This is an interesting player right now guys This could be a put option play a potential short if we do end up getting rejected where we are right now So those are some of the main tech stocks. I follow obviously Google They're all still technically Down-trending based off actually MSFT is not down-trending right now This is like the only one that's still up trending based on the ones that are right here on my Watchlist and it's interesting how Netflix continues to get weak as Disney is going up as this streaming service is inching up here over the next couple of months I'm interesting to see you know is this going to continue to happen as Netflix going to going to continue to fall This is something interesting so those are I know the list wasn't really a lot today guys But that's really it the ones that I'm personally watching a lot of the same You know a lot of the market ETFs inverse ETFs, you know McDonald's. I'm liking that one as a safe haven You know AMD potential bounce back play there if semi-conductors do recover And what was the other one beyond me that is a pretty speculative play But it does offer a lot of margin of profit and of course I'm watching these tech stocks as volatility ETFs You know banking stocks. I'm interested in seeing what ends up happening these coming weeks, especially with the tariff negotiations That are revamping these next two weeks So if you guys enjoyed the video feel free to go down below and hit that like button It really supports me and it really supports the channel in general and I do appreciate all you guys for doing that Hit that subscribe button if you want to see more content for me and hit that notification bell So you're notified every single time that I do make a video.

From Hollywood, it's time now for Johnny dollar Glad you called Joe got something new for you on the Harvey Stone murder case Yesterday Harvey's secretary Martha Winters told us she'd seen Helen Barrett approaching his apartment at just about the time He was murdered. Yeah, she just admitted to me that she lied She wasn't in position to have seen anyone approaching the apartment at the time Yeah, Johnny, what is it? Harvey's young stepmother Daphne up in Westchester County. Oh, what about her? I just found out she was here in the city the night of Harvey's murder What? Yeah Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator yours truly Johnny dollar Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to the home office Northeast and demnity associates Hartford, Connecticut Assignment the imperfect alibi matter location New York City Expense account concluded Item 13 320 transportation to the stone estate in Westchester County to question Harvey's young stepmother Daphne stone as A suspect in Harvey's killing Daphne was very much alive again. Sit down Johnny. Thanks Nice out here. Mm-hmm drink. No, thanks As the investigation going Well, that's what I came to talk about Daphne It hasn't been going too well. I was under the impression that an arrest had been made Helen Barrett's being held Well, then Helen Barrett could be the killer a lot of things point in her direction But there are a few that don't what do you mean? Right from the start you've been giving me incomplete answers or false answers First you told me it was Harvey's father Ej who opposed his plans to marry Helen Then I found out you were the one who was fighting it. Look. I explained all that It's because I didn't want you to get the wrong idea.  I explained that to you too Johnny Okay, so you opposed the marriage for the dignity of the family and not just to keep Harvey at home with you That's a vicious thing to say I Told you Harvey and I being about the same age were very good friends true friends. Is that what your husband thought? You forget Harvey's father is confined to a wheelchair Understandably he might occasionally resent those who can be more active That's another thing you didn't tell me Daphne that Ej could get out of his wheelchair on occasion I caught a glimpse of him out of it the last time I was here short periods only and with considerable discomfort So you and Harvey were friends Like you and that gambler Dutch Krieger, honey, my patience is running out. I Explained that Dutch was in the past Completely in the past before my marriage, but Dutch got kicked out of a business deal by Harvey and he wouldn't like a thing like that Harvey acted perfectly properly Really, I just one more thing. Well, what is it one thing more? You didn't tell me That you were in the city the night Harvey was murdered there Well, I Should have told you that Johnny I went into the city that evening because I knew Harvey was to have a meeting with Helen later that night. I Wanted to talk to Harvey first. What about I knew he was planning some definite action about her So you wanted to talk him out of marrying her? If you want to put it like that, yes, what time was that I saw him in his apartment about nine I left before 10 can anybody verify those times. I don't know I see What was the outcome of your talk with Harvey you assured me he'd break off with Helen you sure about that completely sure I Decided to stay at a hotel that night instead of coming back home I suppose that's how the police knew I was in the city It's Helen story that when she saw Harvey later. They decided to elope if I believe that I don't I think she's lying And how about you Daphne? Have you given me the whole truth now? Yes, Johnny the whole truth Everything I've done has been done solely to protect the family name Everything right then I'd have given a lot to know just what that everything involved Whether or not it also included some weird idea of killing Harvey to somehow protect the family name Expense account item 14 320 transportation back to the city. I got permission from Joe Rastelli to talk to Helen baron When they brought her into the interrogation room, she looked pale and tired Hello Johnny Helen several things I want to ask you about sit down sure What Martha went it is for one Harvey secretary. What about her? Well, she made a statement that she'd seen you heading for Harvey's apartment around 1130 That had put you inside there during the time of the murder. No, no I'm sure it was later than that almost 12 when I got back there Martha later admitted that she lied But the question is why? Still carrying the torch for Harvey Yes, I guess she was Next item is about Alvin Gentry Lieutenant Rastelli told me about that confession Alvin made he got all the details wrong caliber of the gun Alvin what do you mean? Well, he'd always made it clear how he felt about me, but I didn't think he'd go that far How do you feel about him? I've always liked him very much used to go with him some but I stopped when I started seeing Harvey Did you talk to Alvin long at your apartment that night? No just a few minutes while I was packing You know you just talked yourself out of an alibi. What do you mean? Well after Gentry's confession didn't sell He was willing to swear you were with him during the entire period the murder could have taken place Johnny why does an innocent person need an alibi? It helps in court Believe me How'd you make out with Daphne and Helen Johnny Joe? Remind me never to get involved with show people again They make their living putting on an act and I'm just country boy enough not to be able to tell a difference once in a while They both give you nice straight stories, huh? Oh, yeah, sure real sincere looking right in the eye Both of them, but one of them was lying, huh? Daphne said Harvey told her he'd break off with Helen but Helen says the two of them were planning to elope Of course Harvey might have changed his mind after talking to Daphne. Yeah, but that's something we're not gonna be able to confirm now No Johnny to cinch Alvin Gentry's convinced that Helen's guilty. I think he's holding back something Guy doesn't stick his neck out that far without a reason. I know But I still don't dig her motive Well, suppose Daphne is telling the truth that Harvey broke up with Helen Maybe she couldn't stand getting the brush off Yeah, could be all right people can do some strange things under the name of love Johnny particularly when it turns to hate And that can happen awful fast Expenses items 15 and 16 a dollar 40 cab to my hotel in the dollar even for a pot of coffee in my room One hour three cups of coffee and have it doesn't cigarettes later. I was still nowhere. I was beat and Then a weird little idea began pecking away a Couple of things Rustel he had said suddenly started adding up to a pretty fantastic answer Maybe you wouldn't stand the light of day, but it was night now and it was the only idea I could come up with I Decided to try it on for size. I went to the club Alvin Gentry managed. Oh, hello doll I was sort of hoping you'd be around again. Oh, yeah, I want to talk to you But not now. It's almost closing time stick around. Will you I? Waited at the bar while the customers left 20 minutes later Gentry and I were alone He slid onto a stool be certain drink No, no, thanks What's on your mind gentry? Well, I've been thinking about what you said the last time we talked about Perjury, huh? I decided you were right dollar and make it pretty tough on you for perjury Yeah, they do I'm withdrawing my statement that Helen was with me at the time of the murder Well, that's probably the smart thing to do gentry. What's the use? I'm getting tired of being a sucker in this deal of fall guy. Oh It goofed up confession.  So you're withdrawing the statement, huh? Yeah That's probably what you came to see me about, huh? No, no, that isn't why I came to see it all gentry. Hmm and I wouldn't exactly called you a sucker I think you're one of the smartest guys I've ever seen and uh Sort of weird and twisted kind of way. What are you talking about? You played this whole deal real cagey right from the start Everything you did was supposed to look like a cover for Helen But instead of that you were really trying to put a noose around a neck You're out of your mind, darling and that confession you made gentry That's why I came to see you to tell you it wasn't goofed up at all. You did kill Harvey Stone You know, you got a real weird sense of humor Have I a couple of things lieutenant Rastelli said added it up in my mind a few minutes ago Love can turn to hate fast And you'd have to have a good reason to do what you did You wanted Helen bad when she told you that night she was gonna marry Harvey Stone You couldn't stand the idea if you couldn't have her nobody could you're talking crazy You went to Harvey's apartment and killed him then you made that fake confession to look like you were shielding her Actually, you were framing no you knew we wouldn't believe you and we wouldn't believe that alibi you offered for her It all made her look more guilty by the moment dollar you're forcing me to say something I didn't want to oh What is it Helen was mad at Harvey that night? I was worried. I followed her back to his apartment When I got there she was standing over the body with a gun in her hand. She said why did I do it? She kept saying it over and over that's why I made the fake confession to protect her sorry gentry It's a little too late for that story now.  I didn't even get the caliber of the gun, right? Yes, you did What are you talking about? We made a mistake Harvey was killed with a 45 Colt just like you said you're crazy. It was a 38 Smith Yeah 38 Smith and Wesson. I know that so to the police so does the killer But nobody else it was in the papers. No gentry. It wasn't in the papers. You're dead wrong dollar dead He kicked a bar stool at me and I drove behind the end of the bar The lights went off I had my gun out now, but I couldn't see anything in the dark He couldn't get past me to the front door, but he could get out of the back I had to locate him fast then my hand touched an ashtray at the end of the bar I picked it up and tossed it toward the center of the room. I Spotted the flash of his gun now. I had him pegged. I found a lamp on one of the tables Gentry was slumped in a corner my shoulder Help me Don't worry gentry. You're not gonna conk out There's plenty left of you to stand trial Final item on expense account $12 and 80 cents transportation and incidentals back home total expenses $192.40 We're still he arrived in response to my call and had gentry carted away Helen Barrett was released from custody remarks Here I thought Dutch Krieger was the gambler in the case But the little game of winner take all that gentry had been playing was just about the weirdest I'd ever heard of I thought about him up there in the death house It's sing-sing and realized that the big trouble with that kind of gamble that he was taking is that the losers seeking get awfully hot yours truly Johnny dollar Now here's our star to tell you about next week's story next week one of the biggest toughest loudest characters I've ever met a real two-fisted terror and her name is make McCarthy Join us.

Hi, please introduce yourself. Hi, Charbrex. So my name is Samuel Halleim. I'm the CEO of Avantama, a Switzerland-based materials company for electronics. And what's the latest you've been doing the last two, three years? Yeah, so we've developed new materials, of course, and especially our perovskite quantum dots. And the perovskite quantum dots, they are the best-in-class quantum dots for display applications. Best-in-class? Like best performance or pure? Yeah, so they can create the purest colors, the highest deficiencies, the highest brightness, and also they can help the displays to consume less power. And so what are you showing here behind? Yeah, so here on the left-hand side, what you can see is two different displays. Left is the QD monitor, and they contain linearly the backlight and the low-caterium QD film. We replaced the QD film with our QD film containing perovskite quantum dots and red KSF phosphor. And we set the monitors to the same brightness. And what you can see here, our monitor consumes 25% less energy. So the power consumption is 25% less compared to the original monitor. That means in terms of energy, label, we move up from G to E. So this monitor can be sold in Europe, this one cannot be sold anymore in Europe. Well, this is crucial for the new rules in the EU. Absolutely, this is absolutely crucial. And what the companies do, they, of course, they downgrade basically their monitors, but this shouldn't be the way to go. I think what they should do is replace the existing films with our films, and then they have best performance and lower power consumption. Is it more expensive to use a better film? It's, on the long run, it's not more expensive. For the first product, it might be a little bit more expensive, but I think you have to pay what basically you're getting. Yeah, when people calculate price, they need to be thinking of the power consumption. It's the biggest price, biggest cost sometimes. Sometimes, it can be, but it's also, I think, important for the future that you have electronics that consume less power than before. And TVs are so spread all over the world, I think it could have a big impact on the whole power consumption of the whole industry. Can you say a little bit more how you reach a level to claim to have the best? Best in the world? Yeah, so technology-wise, the perovskite quantum dots, they are the most narrow FWHM, so the purest colors, highest efficiency, and we are just proving this now in the products. Nice. And we can check right here also? Yeah, right. So on here on the right-hand side, we are showing next generation quantum dots, materials for the applications in QD OLED and QD micro LEDs. So here we are presenting basically three different application methods. On the left-hand side is by inkjet printing for QD OLED, for example. And then, yes, and I can also show you under the microscope so you can take a picture of the screen. So basically here, this is for pretty big pixels. So the pixel width is 130 micrometers, pixel pitch is 200 micrometers. So suitable for QD OLED application. Deposited by inkjet printing. And here in the center, we have a different sample. This is based on photoresist. So our perovskite quantum dots are worked into photoresists for the application in micro LEDs. And on the right-hand side, we have here the best resolution. So we can go down to one micrometer pitch and pixel size and this material is deposited by electro hydrodynamic printing. It's a new method that hopefully in the future we'll be able to produce at high volumes. So you talk about printing in pixel perovskite QD and micro LED. Right. So I think micro LED is the next big thing for the display industry. I think we will see very soon smart watches with micro LED displays very bright, very colorful. And the next generation of micro LED displays, they will use quantum dots for better color, less energy consumption and also lower price. And when you talk about printing, I think ink, and it looks like you have little ink. It should be a good match. Absolutely. You put it a little bit in the printer and then how does it work? Well, I think our materials are really high-end materials not for use at home. But yes, theoretically you could make inkjet inks with them for at home, but I think we really focus on the commercial applications. But the printing machine is going to have your component somehow in the process? Absolutely, absolutely. Yes. So the printing machines, they will be used by the display makers and our inks are going to be used in the production of the displays. Nice. So how is this display week? How's it going? Yeah, it's excellent. Last year was the first year after the COVID pandemic and I think it was still a little slow. This year we really had a lot of traffic here at our booth. So yeah, really happy with the result of the outcome. So here the display week, there's a bunch of 8K displays, there's 4K 120 and all these new TVs can come with HDMI 2.1 and there's a whole bunch of updates that I'm going to be filming at the Computex 2023 with the HDMI licensing administrator which are organizing all the display makers, the cable manufacturers and making sure that they are compatible with each other. There's a stable performance, there's no interference and there's a smooth 8K future with 48 gigabit per second support and there's the whole infrastructure for certifying, for testing for making sure there's no interference with the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and stuff that people have. So thanks a lot for watching. Check out my HDMI playlist in hdmi.charbacks.com.


The syntactic function adverbial, not to be mixed up with a category adverb, is the most diverse of the set of functional elements of claw structure. Adverbials can be realized by several syntactic categories. Take these four sentences as examples. The adverbial can be realized by means of simple adverbs like carefully, steadily, now, or really, or in terms of adverb phrases like very carefully and almost steadily in example A and B, as prepositional phrase like at Oxford in sentence C, or as noun phrases like all day and last week in sentence B and D. And then, of course, there are adverbial clauses. You see them here in the modified versions of sentence C and D. But how can we identify adverbials? Well, they are mostly optional, except some obligatory adverbials. For example, the obligatory place adverbial of put, as in he put the book on the table. Furthermore, adverbials are generally mobile, with some constraints depending on the type and the form of the adverbial, and adverbials can generally be stacked. Here is an example. Adverbials, in this case, prepositional phrases typically express place in the garden, time as in at seven to four, reason as in because of the weather, or concession as in despite my headache to name a few. Depending on their specific function within clause structure, we can define four main categories of adverbials. These differ in their syntactic status within the sentence. Adjuncts and subjuncts refer to the circumstances of the situation. Disjuncts comment on the formal content of the clause and conjuncts provide a link between clauses.
