The signal oil program. Yes, the signal oil program, the Whistler. Whistle is your signal for the signal oil program, the Whistler. I am the Whistler, and I know many things for I walk by night. I know many strange tales hidden in the hearts of men and women who have stepped into the shadows. I know the nameless terrors of which they dare not speak. Yes, friends, it's time for the signal oil program, the Whistler. Rated tops in popularity for a longer period of time than any other west coast program in radio history. And signal gasoline is tops too, tops in quality. It takes extra quality, you know, to give you extra mileage. And signal is the famous go farther gasoline. So look for the signal circle sign in yellow and black that identifies independently operated signal stations from Canada to Mexico. And now the Whistler's strange story. Perfect alibi. Entering the Golden Sparrow, a cozy little cocktail lounge near the far end of Beverly Boulevard, private investigator Johnny Seltzer, 30, handsome, off duty at the moment, found business at a standstill. He went straight to the bar and ordered a drink. Scotch in water. I'll mix it. Right. Old masters, if you have it. Good. Johnny carried his drink to the nearest empty table and sat down to think. Self-centered, cynical and, in his own estimation, a smooth operator. Many things were on his mind, especially Johnny Seltzer himself. Things hadn't been going too well for him. Tom Silver, founder of the Silver Detective Agency, had threatened him with dismissal unless he changed his ways. Seized gambling and gave closer attention to his duties. Staring moodily at the voluptuous paintings lining the walls, Johnny suddenly pushed back his chair and walked over to the jukebox at the end of the bar and slid a nickel into the slot. Returning to his table, he sat back to finish his drink. Listen to the music and sympathize with himself. Ordinarily, Johnny would have welcomed the voice which abruptly shattered his mood. A low, sibilant voice that seemed to come from nowhere. I like music too. Does that make us pals? Don't seem very happy. I was. Most men would be glad to see me. Yeah, well, I'm different. I'm sure you are. That's why I came over. That was my wife's favorite line. Maybe that's why I didn't register. That could be. You didn't like her much, huh? I didn't. Divorced?  Say, what are you anyway, an investigator for the World Psychology Foundation? I'm surprised you haven't asked me why I got married in the first place. Oh, I figured that out already. So. And it shows on you too. What? Your merger with the bankroll behind that mink and ice you're modeling there. No merger. Present. From a relative. That's quite a coincidence, isn't it? What is? Two people who like money meeting up in a place like Hollywood. And now that we know all about each other, let's call it a day, huh? Why? Why not? Oh, I don't know. Maybe because it's still early. Maybe because it's raining outside. That's not good enough. I like to walk in the rain. Nice if you'd invite yourself over.  Wait a second. Yeah? Am I that hard to think? How would I know? You might find out. I'm not curious. Can I take your order? No thanks. I'm taking a potter. Waiter. Two scotches and water. We'll make sure. I said I was leaving. Don't be like that, Johnny. What was that name you called me? Your Johnny Seltzer private eye, aren't you? Okay. You know who I am. I figured that pickup pitch was a phony. Well, like you said, I'm Johnny Seltzer. And I'm Alice Collins. Who's she? She's Anise of Charles Collins. Charles Collins? Not the number one boy of lumber. That's what it says in the papers. I never saw him till two years ago. He wrote and asked me how I'd like to live out here. I said I'd like it. So here I am. Eastern talent. I was born and raised in Springfield, Springfield, Missouri. Who sent you to me? Nobody. I saw you out of Delbo's one night last week. I asked a coupier who you were. I see. The lady gambles, loses. Now she wants me to get her money back, right? Wrong. No, I don't think so. What did you do? Follow me here from the office? Mm-hmm. Am I forward? Just say easy to approach, like a department store. Pardon me. Okay, waiter. Let's have the check. Just put it on my bill, will you please? Take it out of this. Keep the change. Thank you. Well, that was nice of you, Johnny. Cigarette? Thanks. Now look, Springfield, you got an angle or you wouldn't be talking to me. What is it? You ought to get over that inferiority complex. There's no angle. I thought you'd be a nice guy to know. Later on, after I know you better, I might be able to throw a little business your way. Detective business? Terrific detective business. Maybe as much as $50,000. Well, it's nice money. Too bad I work on a straight salary. The Tom Silver Detective Agency makes the deal. Not this one. This would be a special deal, Johnny. $50,000. Just for you. Interesting. Uh-uh. If it was legit, you wouldn't be putting out that kind of dope. You're jumping to conclusions, aren't you? Maybe. But if I'm wrong, you can always take it up with the agency. You know where the office is. Okay, Johnny.  I will. It's all right, Springfield. You can get me almost any afternoon at Melrose. Five, four, three, two, one. That's easy to remember, Johnny. All you have to do is count five backwards. When you leave the Golden Sparrow, you're sure you've seen the last of Alice Collins, aren't you, Johnny? Yet a few days later, you're not so sure. Your boss, Mr. Silver, has you on the carpet again, and you have an unpleasant feeling. You'll soon be out of a job. $50,000 is a lot of money, and Alice herself says something to ponder over. She's really beautiful, isn't she, Johnny? You can't forget her lovely features, her low musical voice. The things she said keep repeating themselves. $50,000. Just for... A few afternoons later, you enter a drugstore, cross to the phone booth, lift the receiver, deposit a coin, and reach for the dial. You can get me at Melrose. Five, four... With the prologue of Perfect Alibi, the Signal Oil Company brings you another strange story... by The Whistler. Have you been putting off buying new tires?  But hold on. Don't get the idea that Signal Dealers are offering cut price merchandise. Signal Dealers feature nationally advertised first-line Lee tires, built to top quality standards. In fact, for 47 years, Lee has built only one quality, the finest first-line tires. And today's Lee's wear much, much longer, because Lee toughens cold rubber with patented high abrasive fill-black O. That's why Lee can back every tire with a double guarantee. Well, since such quality obviously can't be sold at cut prices, how can Signal Dealers save you money? By giving you today's biggest allowance for your old tires. That's right. That sign outside Signal Station means just what it says. Biggest allowance for your old tires on top quality Lee tires. I can't tell you exactly how much your old tires are worth, but they're worth plenty. And you can easily find out by driving into any Signal Station. So before you buy any tire, see a Signal Dealer. You'll be glad you did. Well, Johnny, a few days ago when you left the Golden Sparrow after your pick-up tater-tate with Alice Collins, niece of the multi-millionaire lumberman Charles Collins, you didn't expect to see her again, did you? You're a licensed private detective and she sounds like trouble.  An hour after phoning her, you arrive to a modest little apartment building on Mountain Avenue near Collanger. Curious but still cautious, you knock likely on the door. Hello, Springfield. Hello, Johnny. Come in. You still like music, don't you? Mm-hmm. I've got a good memory, too. You haven't that? Here, let me take your hat. Then we'll go in the sunroom. Okay. Sit here, Johnny, and help yourself. Cigarette, scotch, and ice water. This is cozy. Real cozy. Give me a very nice allowance. I spend every weekend with him out of his home near the ocean. That's quite a home from what I hear. Swimming pool, badminton court. Mm-hmm. But I'm young and like to go places. Uncle Charles didn't want me to drive out there alone late at night all the time, and so he suggested I take an apartment in town. You see, I'm his only blood relative. You want to have quite a future? Mm-hmm. If I'm not an old lady before... before anything happens to him. I wouldn't dwell on it. Nobody lives forever. Excuse me, Johnny. Sure. Hello, beautiful. Here. How about a drink? In the sunroom. You can mix me one while I put these in the icebox. I've been talking with a man for Uncle... Oh, Johnny... Hello, Snoop. Well, you two know each other? For years. Hiya, Frankie. What are you doing here? I'm here a lot. How gorgeous. Yes. You see, Johnny... What I can't figure out is what a Snoop's doing here. Business? Strictly business, Frankie. You see, Uncle Charles has been sick, but he heard rumors that the mill weren't on the up and up and asked me to make some inquiries. Why didn't you ask me about it, baby? I'd have gotten you the best of the business. You don't think Johnny's good? He's all right. Oh, forget it, Snoop. I'm sorry I acted like I was sore. But when you're nuts about a game, bad you know how it is. Sure, Frankie, that's okay. Cigarette? Yeah, thanks. I'll be back in a second. I want to put these on ice. All right, take your time. A nice cigarette. Class to F.B. Frankie Benson. Monogrammed in Old English. Everything. You, uh... you really like it? Like I said, Frankie, class. But here, take a bunch. Oh, no, I didn't mean that. Go ahead. Go on. I order them by the gross. Well, thanks. This job for Old Man Collins you're talking to the doll about. Oh, I don't know anything about it yet. I just got here two minutes before you did. No, how about a drink? Sounds fine. Come on, baby. You got to talk to Snoop here. I'll pick you up at dinner around seven, okay? Sounds fine. Good. Uh, drop around later on, Snoop. Say around five, baby. I might have an idea for you. Five-thirty it is. So long, Frankie. Well, Johnny, your golden girl seems a little tarnished, doesn't she?  And a little nettle to realize that a girl with a background of Alice Collins would waste her time on a gambler, a glorified hoodlum like Frankie Benson, operator of the notorious Dilbow's gambling club. After Frankie's departure, you make no attempt to hide your annoyance. Nice friends you got. Honestly, Johnny, it's not what you think. What do I think? You think I'm Frankie Benson's girl? Well, aren't you? No. He thinks so? I know he does. The way things are, I've had to let him think so. I owe him money, Johnny, a lot of money. Oh, so the lady did gamble and lose. Yes, she did. And if Uncle Charles found out, he'd cut off my allowance like that. Maybe send me back to Springfield, even. So you want me to get your money back? Uh-uh, Springfield. This is where I came in. Frankie Benson plays too rough for me. Way too rough. Wrong again, Johnny. I don't want you to stick out your neck from me. Do what you want me to do. Yes. Look, Springfield, that day I met you. You mentioned a piece of business you could throw my way. $50,000 worth. I said we'd talk about that after I knew you better. Now, how long is that going to take? Not very long. As you drive out to Dilbo's at the request of Frankie Benson, your imagination goes far beyond anything you've ever thought of.  She's beautiful, and someday she'll inherit the Collins Lumber Fortune, reported to amount to more than $2 million. But you're worried about her connection with Frankie Benson. Frankie usually gets what he wants in one way or another. And when he doesn't, well, accidents happen, don't they? But when you enter his office, he's more than friend. Hello, Sherlock. Sit down. Thanks. Take a handful of cigarettes. He said you like them. Like I said, they're class. I haven't seen you around lately, Johnny. What's the matter?  Oh, sure, Frankie. But, well, I owe you nearly a G right now, and I figured maybe I'd better pay up before I... Oh, your credit's always good here, Johnny. As long as we're friends. Well, it's nice to know. Well, what do you want to see me about? Oh, nothing in particular. Just curious about that snoop job for old man Collins. Is it all set? I don't know. Alice or Miss Collins is going to talk to her uncle about it. I'll know in a couple of days. How come she picked you? No, she didn't. She called the office. The boss sent me out to talk to her. I'm glad you told me that, Johnny. I've always liked you. If there's anything I hate, it's being jealous of a guy I like. Well, like I told you, Miss Collins is called as a client, and the boss sent me out there. It's strictly business, Frankie. Now, I'm glad, Johnny. And I hope you keep it that way. Both of you. Frankie Benson's cordial manner doesn't fool you for a minute, does it, Johnny? It only makes his thinly veiled threats more pointed. Frankie Benson is still a gangster of the old school. And you have no intention of giving up Alice Collins, but you decide you'd better be careful. And for the next few weeks, your meetings with Alice are at out-of-the-way places, usually some distance into the country. You're determined that nothing is going to prevent you from marrying her and enjoying the fortune which will be hers after the death of her uncle. The idea of her uncle's quick departure doesn't seem to shock you at all anymore, does it, Johnny? She says nothing further about the business deal she mentioned. Finally, as you decide it's time for a showdown, she phones you late one evening and asks you to drop by her apartment. She seems tense and excited. Frankie Benson got in this afternoon, Johnny. He wasn't very pleasant.  He always takes care of Welchers, and when he goes nuts over a game, he really goes nuts. The last game that tried to fool him had a very peculiar accident. He fell on a letter opener and cut herself bad. I know. He told me about it today while I was opening the afternoon mail. He gave me an ultimatum, Johnny. Marry him or pay up in two weeks. Can't you figure some way to get the money from your uncle? $33,000? Not while he's alive. Of course he could go any time. He's a restless sleeper. He's got asthma, high blood pressure, and a weak heart. He might even get tangled up in the bedclothes all night and smother. Do you think that might happen? It could. And if it did, there'd be $50,000 in it for me. Right? Yes. $50,000. Just for you. It's too risky. I wouldn't be around long enough to spend it. There's no risk at all. I'll take you out to Uncle Charles a couple of times. By the time you make up your mind, you'll know every foot of the place. You'll have the key to the front door in your pocket. The servants will all be deaf, huh? On Thursday nights, they're up. Except Whitcombe the butler. He's always there in case Uncle Charles needs him. Wait a minute. You'd expect me to... Whitcombe's no problem. No problem at all. He always reads in the library near the phone. You'll open the front door at 11 o'clock. At two minutes before 11, I'll phone. When he answers, I'll hold him for 10 minutes at least. That'll give you all the time you need.  Doctor says it could happen any time. You really got it figured out, haven't you? A long time ago. Well, I'm afraid you picked the wrong guy. Too many chances for a slip-up. Things could go wrong. The doc might get suspicious. Find it was murdered. What if he does? You won't be connected with it. You'll have a perfect alibi. What? You'll be with me at my place all evening. There's no reason to think that I'd wish my uncle any harm. We'll have a few drinks. You can leave your fingerprints over everywhere. Forget your cigarette case, your top coat. It'll stand up. What about it, Charlie? 50,000's not enough. After the will settles, I'll double it. No, that's not enough either. I'm not interested in the money anymore. I want you, Springfield. I want to marry you. Do you think I'd ever let you get away from me? I like that. So did I. What about next Thursday, Johnny? Maybe. I gotta figure out the other half of the problem first. The other half? Frankie Benson. As long as he's around, what happens to your uncle won't mean a thing. And you do figure it out, don't you, John? Frankie Benson's monogram cigarette. Instead of making it look like an accident, you'll make it look like murder. A murder that will send Frankie Benson to the gas chamber. The following Thursday evening, you go to Alice's apartment to double check the detail. Now look, Springfield, about Frankie Benson. He called up a couple of minutes ago, Johnny. Wanted to drop over for a while. I told him I had a headache. What'd he say? He's beginning to scare me, Johnny. He told me I'd better take a nap. Said I might get dizzy and fall down and hurt myself. Said he'd call back in a couple of hours and see how I felt. Good. That's all I needed. Let's see. It takes about 40 minutes to drive from Dilbo's to here. All right. When he calls back, tell him to come over about 11.15. But I thought you were... I'm taking care of Frankie tonight, too, with one of these. Frankie's monogram cigarette. Yeah. I worked it all out, Springfield. All I needed was a break like Frankie's phone call. Tonight's job's gonna be murder. A murder that'll send Frankie Benson to the gas chamber. No, Johnny. The other way's safer. We won't get another chance like this in a million years. Now, when I leave, I'll drop one of these monogram cigarettes for the front door. The rest is automatic. Oh, no, Johnny. It won't work. The cigarette will point to Frankie, sure, but it won't stand up when he tells the police he was framed. They'll believe him. Frankie hasn't any reason to kill Uncle Charles. I've taken care of that, too. I called the DA this afternoon, said I was your uncle, and told him to send him out tomorrow morning. The newspaper boys will be there, too. They're expecting a big story about Frankie Benson. Oh, you're out of your mind, Johnny.  He never even heard of Frankie Benson. The DA heard different. He thinks your uncle found out about your gambling losses to Frankie. He sent out a private eye to Dilbo's. The guy picked up a couple of pairs of dice. Loaded. Cute, huh? Yes, it is. But what about Frankie's coming here tonight? That's the clincher, baby. When he gets here, your headache will be so bad, you'll have to send him away. The cops pick him up. If he tells him he was here, he's lying. That's my alibi. I was here all of the evening. It'll work, Johnny. Oh, you're wonderful. Well, that's it, baby. With you to back me, it can't miss. Wish me luck, Springfield. All the luck in the world, darling. Hurry back. I'm not coming back tonight, baby. Our alibi is all set. The evidence will back us up. Don't forget to phone the butler just before 11. I won't. The Whistler will return in just a moment with a strange ending to tonight's story. Since this is the season when so many of the most popular radio shows go off the air for the summer, I have tonight what I trust will be good news for you Whistler fans. The Signal Oil program, The Whistler, will continue to come to you throughout the summer without interruption. This makes the sixth consecutive year that Signal Oil Company has broadcast The Whistler for 52 weeks each year. What's more, if your vacation travel should take you into other Pacific Coast states, you can still enjoy your favorite mystery because Signal Oil Company broadcasts The Whistler on 16 CBS stations throughout five Pacific Coast states. For the nearest Columbia station to wherever you happen to be, just consult the handy radio log in the new Signal Road Maps, which are yours for the asking at all at the Signal station. So this summer, when you want the tops in radio entertainment, we hope you'll continue to tune in The Whistler. And when you want the tops in gasoline quality, we hope you'll turn in to a Signal service station and fill up with Signal, the famous go farther gasoline. Taking care of Charles Collins was easy, wasn't it? Everything went exactly as you planned. And it came easy to you, didn't it, Johnny? You even slept soundly after it. The following morning, lolling back in your one comfortable chair, you read the whole story in the paper. It's all over the front page. Lumber King murdered. Police solved case in record time. Killer apprehended. Everything worked out exactly as you planned, didn't it, Johnny? And in a few months, you'll marry Alice Collins and the Collins fortune. As the doorbell rings, you decide it must be another bill collector. That amuses you, doesn't it? You stroll leisurely to the door and turn the knob. Well, it's you, Lieutenant. Hello, Jennings. Come on in, boy. No, I haven't got time, Johnny. Besides, we can talk better downtown. Get your hat. Is that official? Very. Murder, Johnny. Collins killing last night. Oh, yeah. I was just reading about that when you came in. You've been seeing a lot of his niece lately, haven't you, Johnny? Yeah, sure. She's a client of mine. I was with her last night at her apartment, as a matter of fact, from nine until, well, nearly one this morning. Is that an official statement? Of course it is. Make a note of it, Jennings. Now, as a matter of fact, we know all about that, Johnny. You left your fingerprints all over the place. You must have been pretty high. You even forgot your overcoat and cigarette case. Well, I'll admit, we had a few drinks. But what's the idea, Lieutenant? The morning paper says you've already nabbed the guy that killed Collins. Yes, we have. Frankie Benson. He was a little noisy making his exit. Got panicky and dropped his card as he opened the front door. A half-smoked cigarette. Monogrammed. His own special brand. Benson admitted it? No. But his alibi was so phony he's as good as convicted right now. Yeah, but what motive would Benson have? Plenty. Old man Collins had him cold, crooked game loaded dice. He was going to give the DA the whole story this morning. Well, you've got everything so sewed up. Why do you want to talk to me about the Charles Collins murder? We're taking you in for the murder of his niece, Alice Collins, Johnny. She got hers about 11 last night in her apartment. Stabbed with a letter opener as if you didn't know. Pretty clumsy accident, Johnny. Let that whistle be your signal for the signal oil program, the Whistler. Each Sunday night at this same time brought to you by the Signal Oil Company, marketers of signal gasoline and motor oil, and fine quality automotive accessories. Signal has asked me to remind you to get the most driving pleasure, drive at sensible speeds, be courteous, and obey traffic regulations. It may save a life, possibly your own.

In this video about Solar Radiation Analysis in Ecotec, you will learn how to do analysis of solar exposure, how to subdivide your surfaces, and how to calculate incident solar radiation on your building. And you will also get insights on analysis results and how these results have impacted this actual design project from Henning Larsen Architects. I have now opened the Ecotec environment and one of the reasons for doing solar radiation studies within Ecotec and not Vasari or Revit is that we are able to control the results and the scale a bit more effective in here, which allows us to use the output a bit more effectively and specialize. So if we go to display settings and we look at object attributes, this is really where we can visualize radiation within Ecotec. So this is really from a previous simulation. So let's turn on the average daily values. Let's go to display settings and see that the way that we control this is really by the object attributes. We can turn on text values, we can show vectors to show where we have the most extreme conditions throughout the year. And we can of course work with the scale, which is something quite unique within Ecotec. So let's say we want to have between 350 and 1000 watts per square meter and visualize that. The intent of this project here, which is an office building in Stuttgart made by Henning Larsen Architects, was that in Nordic countries we really want to have a good balance because there's really a connection between heat coming from the sun and light coming from the sun, which is obvious. So radiation studies allows us not only to look at how much heat will have an incident with the different facades and roofs and elements of our building, but also to determine where we'll have some of the extreme conditions in regard to daylight factors and light levels when inside the building. So it's not only looking at the outside, it's really also understanding the interior layout of the building, placing heat-producing rooms and spaces and functions in the north side and really using the south and eastern west side to have more open environments where we can use the daylight when inside the building. And of course we can use this to kind of plan where to put solar panels and stuff like that. But this project here, the main design intent with this project was to really make the facade a bit more closed where we have a lot of radiation and making it a bit more open where we have less radiation to really have some more light coming in and thereby reduce the amount of energy that we'll need to light up our building with electric lighting and in the same time reduce the amount of discomfort because of heat coming from the sun and penetrating the room on the south side. So really that was the intent and if we turn on the windows and the facade you'll see that this is really what we tried to do of course in relation to the overall intent with the project. So the facade here is really consisting of placing and closed panels where we place solar panels at the places where we'll have a lot of radiation and just closed panels on other places of the building. So you'll see as well here in the north side that we place some big windows here. So it's just pretty simple and pretty logical to understand. So I'm just going to take this simple model to really get you started with how this is working. So just made a really simple model here and with some context buildings and what I did was really to go in and subdivide these surfaces to have some more measuring points. Each of these surfaces here are measuring points. And then I go to calculate and so solar access analysis which is the way that you look at solar radiation with inside ecotech and I'm using the incident solar radiation and the sunlight hours down here that's the main that I'm using but of course you can do before and after comparisons and stuff like that. But for looking at the interior exterior spaces here it might be incident solar radiation you want to look for. So let's turn that off and you can of course apply and do simulations for a current date and time which allows you to really just scroll here for the specific date and what's that amount of radiation instantly. I'm using this for a specific period and I'm just going to look at the whole year at the time span where we're using the building and I'm going to look at the average daily values which give us a sense of where it's replacing and what kind of radius we want for our glazing. So I'm just going to say cancel and I want to select because I want to do for all of these objects here just select objects on go back calculating solar access analysis incident radiation this five period on year average values selected up okay and the first time you do this you have to perform a detailed shading calculation and that's why ecotech isn't that effective because it takes a lot of time but if we're using this shading mask here it's very fast to do the simulation and we can now go down to our scale and say okay we want to see where this 0 to 750 maybe like that and go to the visualized tab and we can now visualize this on our project let's say just to 350 and just 1000 here so we're now able to use the simulation to determine placement of solar panels glazing radios to make the facade a bit more closed where we have a lot of radiation and to open it up to have more daylight coming in without having any kind of discomfort to our building so this is really just the basic and a great thing is that you can go to properties and you can just say analyze data and it will make this very cool graph that you don't have to set up you can just use it directly it calculate the maximum and minimum values and you can take this out to excel for doing comparisons numeric comparisons of different designs


Tommy here from Lawrence systems and this is a neck eight SG 6100 I actually was provided this device by neck eight. So full disclosure up front on this in June of 2021 they sent this to me So I could do a more in depth and more long-term review that being said They do not get any pre-release copy of this video to critique it or change it The opinions in this video are all my own and for those of you that think I'm biased You'll still comment down below and put all caps lock on and complain. That's fine All right now that we've got that part out of the way Disclosures and what do I think of the device is the more important thing? I do like this device not because they sent it to me But because I think it's a really solid product from neck eight. I've if you follow this channel I've got quite a few videos on both pf sense and a lot of the neck eight hardware provides a nice stable predictable platform for Building out firewalls, but I do want to complain about at least one minor thing that causes a lot of questions And it's actually aesthetics It's the silk screening on here that labels all these ports as when and land They are discreet ports will get more detail on that later in the video, but they discreet port means they can be easily reassigned There's no special back-end. They're individualized ports that can be assigned land or when and that includes the ten gig ones Despite having the silk screening saying when on them They're easily assigned to be land ports or land and when ports however you want the same thing with the two and a half gig ports on The other end here They are assignable even though silk screened as land any one individual port or all of them or any combination of them Can be assigned to different network functions like land or when so I want to get that out of the way and talk about these RJ45 sfp plus adapters. Yes, they physically fit in because this is an sfp plus cage And it is 10 gig physically fitting in and working are two different things officially from neck eight These are not supported this port here the 10 gig ports or even the one gig sfp ports are designed for fiber connections Or your DAC cable connections. They are not designed for officially being used for rj45 10 gig connections That's just one of those little details. I wanted to make sure it's up front So I know that question comes up It's come up in some of the other devices I reviewed like the higher end models. They have This is common for a lot of firewalls. They don't always have 10 gig support in terms of rj45. They usually have sfp There are some heat issues now someone may comment below and you would not be wrong that if you guessed That does it work with some situations? Maybe even ones I've tested Yes, but that's different than being officially supported from neck eight Take the time to read the fine manual that I will leave link down below where they tell you what exactly is supported on here Essentially, they support fiber and DAC as I said, they specifically ask that they be Tagged for intel those ones they guarantee to work But I've actually had some luck working with a few non intel DAC cables. They were labeled something else But overall if you get the intel labeled cables Labeled firmware that comes on the DAC. I have a whole video on DAC I'll leave below talks a little bit more about that But yes, they work perfectly fine in this next thing is The relationship I have with neck eight just so that's Very clear. I'm not a neck eight reseller. I have no offer codes or affiliate codes And if you like to buy this product you buy it from neck eight. I get no commission on there Um, just an FYI on that. So now that all that's all the way Let's dive into the details But first if you like to learn more about me and my company head over to laurence systems.com If you like to hire a short project, there's a hires button right at the top Which includes consulting for network engineering If you'd like to support this channel other ways There's a few links down below to get your deals and discounts on products and services We talk about on this channel Now the first thing I want to do is take it apart because I like to see what's inside things I know a lot of you do as well. It comes apart relatively easy There's just these few screws that hold it in so there's not too much to remove I did remove the little side plate here where the usb are because it makes it a little bit easier to do this You just tilt and it comes right out the case itself really simple Not much there plastic, but the industrial design of this is really nice The gaps on the sides you see here are to facilitate cooling If you look at an angle here, you'll see where the gaps are in terms of when it's setting flush It actually isn't flush. It has this kind of air gap right here to allow the heat to flow out and around the device Matter of fact around is as I said when you look at it from an overhead view Why it kind of has this shape right here the heat can go here here and the perforations all throughout the Case itself allows for that to occur now It does have and this is covered under a plate when it's in the case It's removable so you do not have to take it apart to get to this dual sim slots connected to the m2 And this is one of those things that's highlighted in the netgate video And all the reasons I suggest you watch it is just because it has some of these extra slots and these sim slots doesn't Automatically mean as of right now august of 2021 it fully supports things like lte They have some future plans for this, but not everything is supported So you can't just willy-nilly plug whatever you want in here and hope it works You have to go wait for official netgate support to tell you what is exactly supported on here That is discussed in that netgate video a little bit more depth So I do encourage you watch the netgate video that is on their site I'll leave a link to that as well now as far as other ports We do have usb 3 that is on the side here along with a power and reset button And then we'll come over to the one serviceable part inside Which is going to be the battery in there outside of the battery if it's not officially supportive on netgate Just because these slots as I said, they're not necessarily something you need to service or plug anything into Now let's cover the ports themselves Starting at the end here. We have the sysco console port and it is also above a micro usb You can use either or so if you have the sysco cable That's great. If you have a micro usb you can use that too pretty simple the combo ports These are interesting because they are automatic sensing combo ports So these act as one physical discreet port inside a pf sense when two does the same and it determines whichever medium You have plugged in so you can provide sfp one gig or rg 45 one gig and it will automatically Determine which one's plugged in it is not designed to use both of these simultaneously This is one port here labeled as wan, but of course can be reassigned This one's labeled as wan 2 but of course can be reassigned and does the same thing In the middle is where we have the two 10 gig ports labeled wan 3 and wan 4 once again fully reassignable discreet ports And do support sfp plus 10 gig connections on here But as I stated earlier in a video these are not supported So the rj 45s although you may find some that work You won't find official support for these these were designed to use either fiber or a Twin x DAC style cable inside of here both passive or active DAC will work in these Then we have the lan lan 1 2 3 and 4 and no these are not a switch port These are discreet individual ports. They are two and a half gig and can be reassigned to however you like So despite what the social screen says feel free to assign these in any combination of lan wan or other option ports for different network segments that you want They are not configured at all out of the box as a switch and there's no special Vlan configuration you have to do on the back end to get these to be discreet ports They're just out of the box default discreet ports And then we have this barrel connector on the end here And the nice thing about these type of connectors is they screw in so when you put the power on it right this And tighten it. It's really solid and you're not going to be able to easily pull out the power on this particular device So you can see and I don't recommend you try this at home. But yes, you can hold the device from it Um, this is probably not officially endorsed at all by neck eight to do this But i'm just pointing out the fact that yeah, I like these barrel connectors are really solid They keep you from accidentally unplugging the firewall and making people really unhappy Now let's take a look here on the neck eight website We have the pre-order still on here depending on when you're watching this This is august the end of august 2021 But depending on where the supply chain issues are and hopefully you're watching this in the future We're supplying the chain issues have all been resolved And there's no longer problems, but they are shipping these devices out right now We have the eight gig base model with 16 gigs of storage for 699 or the max which is eight gigs and 120 gig of storage Do you need the extra storage? Yeah, it kind of depends if you'd like to store a few pcat files or lots of logs on the system If not, the 16 gig may be perfectly fine for your needs They also do have and I do not have one here to demo But it is in the video that we'll talk about the second a wall mount kit for 2499 Then they have the pricing for different support options Then they have this video right here is what I mentioned, which is also linked down below It is the official video from neck eight on their product. They talk a lot of details Like said highly worth watching now scroll down here And they have all the marketing and all the different advertising stuff and they do their own testing So they do accurately tell you how fast it can route at we're going to dive into Some of the finer details of that because there's the broader overview of yes It can route at 10 gig and enters the details of what that actually looks like And they have the hardware specifications all right here It is based on the intel adam c 3358 with qat. It's a four core 2.2 gigahertz processor And just like we showed all the physical ports and the onboard if you go with the 16 gig model is the onboard 16 emc soldered onto the board But then they have the upgrade option with the max for the 128 gig mvme and then we have the 8 gig ddr 4 plenty of memory for a firewall They don't need a ton of memory to work. They're not running a desktop environment or anything Intensive they're not running a browser with a bunch of tabs open. They just route traffic Then they have the physical ports listed The leds the enclosure the passive cooling and the different power options that are on there Now one good thing I like overall about neck eight and pf sense is solid documentation Not just on how to use pf sense, but each of their physical appliances does have a nice page that breaks down features And of course has the ability to download it as a pdf That's important for the reason they see here before we get started We recommend downloading the pdf version in case you lose internet access. Yes, this will help you quite a bit if you are diving into Changing your wan settings and you lose internet access and you want to still reference some annual That's actually a nice feature they have on there. Uh, and of course I'll leave a link to this They have all the initial configurations input outputs lots of little details and there's some of the things I covered right here It covers exactly how each of these work including the support for different modules They have for the sfp ports. They also have a picture here of the neck eight 6100 wall mount what it would look like if you wanted to wall mount this instead So that is a kit that they offer on here, uh to Wall mount it. I don't have that kit, but this is what it looks like pretty simple It's something you order from their site now on to the pf sense setup itself because I wanted to show some testing and scenarios And of course show the interface assignments The interface assignments out of the box as I said silk screened on there and Matching inside of the default setup in pf sense are going to be wan wan two Wan three wan four and then land one through four as well But you can reassign me So I wanted to use the 10 gig in this particular demo So we called this one wan three 10 gig normally just labeled wan with the numeric three But we decided to name it this and then for the land side. I called it was wan four now land 10 g so it's the 10 gig land like I said These are reassignable and give them whatever descriptions you want when you're setting these up and the same goes for the other interfaces These are all reassignable to however you want their individual discreet ports They do not have is the 7100 for example had the different vlan where they're split in the back end In a certain way to a shared chip on the back. None of that. No special just standard ports on this system All right now configuration wise. I did load suricada in here because the question is can it route at 10 gig Yes, as the net gate tests show. Yes, it can do really fast routing How does that work when you have a device behind it and a device in front of it as in Something on the wan network that's at 10 gig and I did not get to test 10 gig at my house So that's still labeled my home here, but I do all the 10 gig testing here at the office So we don't have a 10 gig internet connection But we're going to simulate a 10 gig connection And so we have a device that is able to do 10 gig it's plugged into the 10 gig side of this So we have this at 10 13 37 109 and we're going to connect To a device behind the firewall connected through the WAN port then through the LAN port then over to this Debian virtual machine All these are set up as virtual machines inside of my network here and you can see where I'm already getting The 10 gigs. I've been doing some testing with here. It has no problem doing 10 gig But let's talk about the parameters that get you 10 gig And that's this right here. So we have iperf 3 just standard testing But we've added this p 10 and then the client is 10 13 37 112 this particular machine is behind We'll show the network right here 172 1666 that puts it behind the LAN side of the pf sense firewall. So for this testing, that's how we're doing this But let's talk about the performance you get So even though suricada is running and I'm able to get the full 10 gig So that would immediately tell people that yes, this is great This will solve all my 10 gig problems. But this is where the buck comes in That is when I'm using the p 10 to split the stream up to split the flows up into a different Series of flows the way this works and this is a rabbit hole that goes way out of scope of this particular video Is the way kernels handle routing and when they handle it Each tcp stream has to be assembled hits a core and then gets sent back down This causes some limitations based on the processor in there for single stream routings If we change this back down to something like this where we take off these extra parameters The t is just for time, but the p is for splitting the streams up. You'll find that we're getting 2.6 gigs and this is just a limitation of this individual stream Generally speaking though, you're not getting individual streams when you're dealing with a 10 gig connection You're getting a whole lot of streams Actually, you have a lot of computers usually only connected at one gig or slower because they're connected on different Wi-Fi and different link speeds behind the firewall So even though the firewall is being fed with a 10 gig not any one person is going to want that 10 gig Pipe now if they do and if you do have a need in a data center where you Want 10 gig in and 10 gig out on a single stream You don't have to go with a different device with a faster processor And it contact neck gates. They also discuss the details of your specific configuration This is one of those buts as I said that being said if we have this device and actually let's go ahead and add the dash t 60 to run this run for 60 seconds in the background right here And we'll go to a windows machine Which you can see is normally getting about 2.2 gigs as well because this is just livery speed set up on a server I have here It's able to simultaneously get this 2 gig speed while this is getting this a little over 2 gig speed This is the important thing about how this works So individually each of these devices is able to get plenty of bandwidth to them provided that they're connected Pipe fast enough, but of course this comes down to the stream splitting and those details It's not as real-world use case doing single stream But for those of you that do these raw tests like this if you're wondering what's happening That's what's happening when you're running them as soon as we break this up and add that dash P capital P And we put in 10 for 10 stream It has no problem getting Gotta fix the There we go Hey, look we're back at the 10 gig connection Matter of fact, it can handle a lot more than just 10. So let's put 80 streams like this. So it's dash t Now we've broke it out into even more streams and we're still able to get this across 80 streams Now the number streams gets exponential as you have more devices connected But you can see here it's able to keep doing this Matter of fact, actually we'll Put it doing this and go back over here We can see the processor getting loaded up because we have things like sericata inspecting traffic So if we go over here to sericata And by the way, the system is still quite responsive even though we've loaded up the processor It's doing inspection right here. It's probably creating a few alerts because I have windows behind it So it's saying hey, there's all kinds of stuff going on. So yes, it's doing the inspection. Yes, it's working Yes, the processor is getting pushed a little bit And if we jump over to something like the system status monitoring, you can see the different tests I've been doing and uh, you can Choose it by traffic by system This system still responsive all this is running in the background. We'll kick it off again just to show So this is running matter of fact actually control c Let's go ahead and say 600 seconds just keep this running while i'm doing this or why not also kick off a Windows test let them all fight for bandwidth in the background here. So this is actually going to go slower because It's now fighting for bandwidth with this which is fighting for bandwidth And uh, let's see how that loads up the system update the graphs Update it to processor. Yep, we're certainly see a little rise in processor usage But the system is completely responsive and completely functional while it's doing all of this. So yes, it can wrap 10 gig But no in a single stream you're going to run into a few problems I just want to cover that as a detail other than that everything else is pf sense Like it is usually it's the same pf sense software I've covered in many other videos, which I'll leave a whole link to a playlist down below to All kinds of different scenarios I have for setting up pf sense final thoughts on the device I think it's great. I haven't had any problems with it the testing I did at home The testing I did here. We didn't run into any weird issues The only complaint I really have is as I said in beginning the silk screening of labeling them all land and land which creates To me, I don't know if it solves more questions from people wondering if they can be assigned that or creates more That's really probably neck gate. I just know the comments I see from people of going Well, can I reassign it? It's labeled when yes, you can no big deal there It's a it's a silly debate, but it's such a minor thing. It's not something that I would say Oh, don't buy a product that has silk training. That's Controversial hopefully if you're someone deploying these you're looking well beyond the silk training and diving into pf sense a little bit deeper I will leave link below my playlist of all the different pf sense videos I've done to talk about a lot of different scenarios configurations and setups And uh, I don't have any affiliate links. I said at the beginning of the video So if you'd like to bring one of these reach out to neck gate if you're looking for a 10 gig solution And which one is the best one that's also kind of a reach out to neck gate thing They have a sales department that'll handle that Tom Tom says hi That's about my as much of affiliate, but they won't give you any discount for that because I have no discount or offer codes Once again, I'll leave links to everything I talked about in the videos and thanks And for a more in-depth discussion head over to my forums where you can find me or hit me up on twitter I'm pretty easy to interact with if you have questions comments concerns or just leave them below I try to read and reply to all the comments in these videos.

Okay, so let's try this one. It says how much energy would it take to boil 36 grams of water at a hundred degrees Celsius? And then it gives us the heat of vaporization as plus 40.7 kilojoules per mole, so Let's write that down So, for water plus 40.7 kilojoules per mole. So, if we've got, what does it say? We've got the mass of the water at 36.0 grams. So, how would we know how much energy we would need? How would we do this? Anybody help me? So, what is, will this help us? This grams? We've got to convert it to moles, right? Why do we got to do that? Because we got this thing over here, that's a what? The conversion factor, very good guys, right? And so that's going to convert for us what? moles to kilojoules, right? And kilojoules is a form of what? Energy, and we're looking for what? Energy, okay? So, it's just these two conversion factors on top of each other, okay? So, 36.0 grams of water We know the molar mass of water 18.02 grams of water for one mole. We have this conversion factor up here. So, one mole of water is plus 40.7 kilojoules. So, we should be able to cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel, cancel, giving us energy up there. Is everybody okay with that? Oh, and this is no longer the mass of water, right? This is going to be, you want to think about it that way, energy or something. Now I need to find my calculator, which is somewhere, can I just, thank you, confiscate that for a second. 36 divided by 18.02 times 40.7 And it doesn't tell us what energy units it wants it, but it does say three sig figs, right? So, I mean that 36.0 gives us three sig figs. So, I got 81.3 kilojoules This is going to be positive, 81.3. So, if you want to put the plus, that's fine with me, kilojoules of energy. So, what do we need to do? We've got to pump energy into this system, right? So, and two questions I guess, maybe would be the better way.


This is the Sugar Beet Report, bringing you the latest information from NDSU throughout the Sugar Beet growing season. Today we're checking out the Sugar Beet crop in the southern Red River Valley. With us is Todd Jacellius, Vice President of Agriculture for the southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative. Todd, how did the season start out for producers in the southern valley? Planting at southern Minnesota started a little bit later than normal this year. Our average planting date is about May 5th. That's about 10 days later than our long-term average planting date. So a little bit late because it was kind of a wet-ish April, but once we got started planting things went pretty rapidly. We did have enough moisture to get most of the crop out of the ground nicely and those early plantings were really had a very very good stance, 200 plus. So we're very happy with that. As we moved into May it continued to get a little bit drier as those plantings came along. We got less rainfall and stands are a little bit thinner the later you got but still very acceptable. So all in all we got off to a really good start. How was the battle with weed control? Weed control started out really good. Guys who had a pre-down for the most part got a nice activating rain and pretty good on keeping the weeds at bay early on. Our problem weed here is resistant water hemp and improved to be a problem again this year. On the whole I think our growers did a really good job of controlling that particular weed, but we are starting to see some escapes now as we get later in the season. Generally speaking not bad compared to where we've been past a couple of years when it was really dry. Didn't get an activating rainfall for those prees, but still there are enough resistant water hemp in our area that it's always a concern. Did the dry conditions work for or against growers? Those dry conditions although didn't always help us with weed control did help us with diseases and we've seen very very low rhizectonia or a phantom icis in our beets this year so far and that's very helpful and really helps maximize the potential of the crop. The other thing it's helped is Cicosper has been very minimal this year. Our growers over the past few years have really done a fantastic job of keeping that disease under control because it was a very problematic disease, but right now it's actually a very good check here in the middle of August. The dry conditions have helped keep that down, but I really think our growers efforts the last couple of years have really helped keep the noculeum level down and that's resulted in very favorable control of that disease this year. The recent rains were pretty widespread, how is the rain at your end of the valley? It has been dry up until just recently, did get some rains last week which was welcome we had a nice I'll call it one to two inch rain across most of our growing area which is very welcome and that has kept our crop growing very nicely. We have had a nice crop coming based on our root samples and so we actually started our pre-pile activities on Tuesday, August 15th. We're just getting started on that. We'll have more information about how our crops doing here as we get a few days into pre-pile. Right now everything is looking very good. Thanks Todd. Our guest has been Todd Gisellius, Vice President of Agriculture for the Southern Minnesota Beech Sugar Cooperative. This has been the Sugar Beet Report bringing you the latest information from NDSU throughout the Sugar Beet growing season.


The Cube at IBM Impact 2014 is brought to you by headline sponsor IBM. Here are your hosts, John Furrier and Paul Gillan. Okay, welcome back everyone. This is live in Las Vegas at IBM Impact. This is the Cube, our flagship program. We go out to the events, extract the signal from the noise. I'm here with Bernie Schieffer, IBM Distinguished Engineer on the software side. Based in Canada, almost 30 years with IBM. You've seen a lot of the action. Welcome to the Cube. Thank you, nice to be here. So I really want to chat with you about, obviously power systems is all the rage and tough from a hardware perspective, from a leadership perspective, not from a software perspective, but in general the role of software because without going into the speeds and feeds of the hardware side, we're in a software defined era right now in a whole new way. And obviously you can almost, we were saying really, oh, mainframe's at the cloud. It's a cloud as the mainframe basically distributed in different parts. But in general, that's where the market's going. You're seeing cloud being a great resource. On-premise isn't going anywhere. The data center still needs to be somewhere. There'll be an on-prem always. People are on-premise. So you're seeing the new distributed software model come back at systems again. So I want to get your take on that. So like from a big picture standpoint, power is enabling new capabilities. What is the software, if you had to kind of summarize the key software model and innovation around power, that enables it besides the open source stack, but what is the software paradigm? Well, that's a big question. So let me start by the fundamentals, which is that you've seen the new power rate that was just announced is a building block, a rack-based building block that you can then grow into a larger, complete computing environment, suitable for on-premise as well as for the cloud. And now you have to make the maximum use of that capability in the software. And that comes through different dimensions. Some of them are sort of low-level processed, the number of cores and the frequency of the chip and so on. And for the most part, the software will exploit that transparently. Then you move into higher-level value propositions, things like the simultaneous multi-threading, where if you have not designed your software right, you're going to get stuck. You're not going to be able to use all those hardware threads. Now beyond that, there's sort of new differentiated capability and just before we got started here, I was reminiscing that it was almost exactly four years ago today that I started the first internal meetings between the lead technologists on the power side working with software group on what are the new differentiating capabilities of power rate and how is the software going to exploit them? Four years ago, congratulations, you graduated college and that's time span because that's like going to college. So take us through that. So four years ago, you had a vision, hey, we should put software on this in a way. Take us through quickly, what happened in those four years? What are some of the highlights of the innovation? Well, part of it gets driven bottom up in terms of what will the process technology allow you? How much can you squeeze on a chip and what's the right balance of cores and caches and memory bandwidth and IO? And all of those are important. And then it's these new features, they all consume real estate on the chip. So how much value do they add? How much do they cost? Are they going to help you in the transaction processing business? Which is still an absolutely fundamental, foundational part of the business. But as we've heard at this conference, there's shifts, things are moving in more into analytics, into more insight over these last quantities of big data. And those have different requirements. So I got to ask you the question. So we were talking to someone last night about Google and the iPhone and how when they bought Android, Larry Page bought Android, any room in those sidekick was like a different, different kind of mobile device. And they were building it out. And then Steve Jobs in 2007 showed the iPhone, basically he said to Larry, oh shoot, we better go back and redraw the software. Mainly, and that was the beginning of now, what now looks like in 2007, as Steve, the watershed moment of the whole mobile revolution, smartphones and all the great stuff.  Was it flash, was it something else? Did you have a, was there a moment or a point that made you guys sestat or was it just smooth sailing? I mean, because flash hit the scene pretty quickly. It did. And flash is good for, I come from the database side and databases love flash. It can make up for a lot of other sins. What I would say as a watershed moment was really that next to the mainframe, the large power servers really are untouchable by any other system out there. There's no other large SMP that comes close to what exists. But what we've seen is the evolution of the cluster of smaller computer building blocks that really make a difference with respect to being able to incrementally, horizontally scale your systems. And so you can see a kind of watershed moment where the first and most visible power rate system launch is actually a two socket server that it's a small system, not a big gargantuan system, and it's optimized for Linux. And you- But there's no one-trick pony here. They actually use the power systems in concert with a lot of scale-out little boxes, right? That's exactly it. So the S822 and S824 are two scale-out boxes. They're only about yay high and they pack an incredible amount of compute capacity in them and that can connect out through PCIe Gen3 out to flash and external flash. So there wasn't anything that hit you guys over the head in terms of, okay, we got to kind of rethink it or something that just accelerated the process. Or was there? I think there were multiple things. Like I said, there used to be primarily a thought around large scale-up systems. And secondly, it was very focused on AIX and you've seen a lot of focus here on Linux, the new announcement about canonical Ubuntu. Who would've thought Ubuntu on a UNIX mainframe? So things have changed and the industry has shifted. We've seen the shift to cloud. You've seen now the first steps towards that on the power system side with Watson coming to the cloud as well. Yeah, I think the power system really highlights that this HPC high-performance computing has really become much more mainstream outside of the little niche of the compute world. That's actually more general. I don't want to say general purpose because it's not general purpose because you can mix and match, but some of the things around analytics, like storing big data, you don't have to make decisions on you can store a boatload of data. But when you want to jam on it, you're going to have to turn up some horsepower, right? Is that kind of the mindset that I oversimplify it? Well, I certainly completely agree with you that HPC, which we used to think of something that you would use to simulate nuclear explosions and weather simulations and things like that, has now broadened into analytics, into lots of new kinds of commercial applications where people are taking a flood of data and trying to make sense of it all. It's almost as if the power system is going to be the new standard in the data center because in a way it's not just one box and you solve a problem and you leave it there and you manage it. It's actually part of the operating environment now in the data center. Do you see that? It is, and it continues to have that reliability and scalability that is still valuable. So having a system that stays up is valuable even if you have lots of them and where you have some kind of fault tolerance where you can have another system takeover, there's still that moment where nothing's happening while you figure everything out. Okay, Bernie, I'm going to give you the last word of the segment. I really want you to tell the folks out there what is so important about the power systems from a software standpoint and why at this point in time in the industry is it something to take note of? Well, first of all, it is a seamless transition from what's come before. You can move from earlier power systems, no must, no fuss, you don't have to do major new replatforming of your applications, of skills and so on. And secondly, you're opening it up through a whole range of new capabilities and through the open power consortium, you now have connections into NVIDIA and all kinds of new accelerators that were previously unthinkable in the world of an open systems mainframe computer. Final question for you.  Are you surprised? Share with us your personal feeling of where it is now and are you blown away? Did it meet your expectations? Exceed your expectations? Is it completely radically different than you thought? Give us some personal insight there. Well, it's always interesting how it's the little things that make the journey difficult. And one of the things that's been, I'd say a change for me in my many years within software group is IBM is a large company and I've had other colleagues and competitors comment on the fact that IBM hardware and IBM software are almost like separate companies. And to me, the journey for Power 8 has been a major new step in terms of a unified collaboration of hardware and software coming together to deliver Power 8 software optimized for the new Power 8 hardware. Bernie, it's been a pleasure to have you. I wish we had more time.  He's been almost a 30 year veteran, distinguished engineer. Great to hear about your success and we love this environment and thanks for enabling it. So this is theCUBE. We'll be right back after this short break here in live in Las Vegas for IBM Impact.


Thanks for checking out this episode of Brutal Battle Beer Break. Today I'm going to be doing another Westbrook offering, Westbrook out of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. So today we have a, it's basically a Schwartz beer style by them, it's a black rye lager and it is called Dark Helmet. As you can see it actually is a reference to Spaceballs, the movie Spaceballs which is a reference to Star Wars and it's actually pretty funny because it has some stuff on the side. All I see is the thing that made the Schwartz be with you, which I'll read the whole thing after I give it a try, but 6% alcohol by volume, so let's give it a try. Black rye lager, here we go. Obviously it's going to be dark in coloration, it's getting a nice pour on there, alright. So you can see it, it's got a nice kind of tan head to it, obviously it's very very dark as you can see, I can't really see much through it, it's got more of a, of a coloration like a stouter or porter, not just like a black lager, so darker than I thought it would be honestly, I thought it would be a little more translucent. So anyway let me give it a sniff.  Sometimes I tend to get like a licorice-y aspects out of that but I'm not getting any out of this, I'm getting a little bit though of like a honey note in this as well and I get a little bit of that rye which is kind of like a spice factor to it. So let me give it a shot, tastes a lot of the rye in the mouth, decent amount of that kind of chocolatey aspect to it and the finish is a little bit ashy which I found the Schwartz beers do a lot of the time, have kind of like an ashy note to the finish. But that chocolatey aspect is significantly more than I thought it would be, it's leaving a little bit bitter on the finish, more bitter than I was expecting, definitely tastes lager yeasty, it's a very lager type finish, very kind of crisp and light the way it's finishing but it is more bitter than I was expecting. Having a little bit of an issue with that bitterness and I think that the rye is kind of amping the bitterness up a little bit because of that spice aspect but I think that this is still pretty cold, I think as that warms up that's going to kind of like come down a little bit in its intensity because when something's colder you're getting, you'll get more you know bitterness to it and as it warms up that bitterness will kind of come down because the other flavors in there will kind of rise because when a liquid is cold it makes a lot of flavors kind of clam up so you get the more bitter flavors that become dominant. So pretty good though, I've typically been on Schwartz beers but this is probably one of the better ones I've had because of those kind of chocolatey aspects and I do like the rye in there that kind of spice aspect is kind of nice. So Westbrook did a good job. So let me read your the text on here. Dark helmet is a German style black lager or Schwartz beer brewed with 10 percent malt of rye. Chocolate and caroffa malt give the beer its dark color and ludicrously smooth roasty flavor. May the Schwartz be with you which is hilarious because in spaceballs they call the force the Schwartz and they say may the Schwartz be with you. So very clever marketing on this I like it. Westbrook thank you so much everybody watching thank you and go get yourself an awesome beer.


We get a lot of questions about should I work aged leads? Here's a play or I have no money and I want to make, I have $0 or close to zero, but I want to make 100K plus, okay? You know how Gary Vee always talks about Dylan. He does those videos about garage selling and flipping items and making 80 grand and all this kind of stuff. Here's my flipping idea for agents to go make 50, 60, 70, 80, 100K, 120K. I know people that make more, okay? Off of this idea, which is aged leads.  There's all kind of places, aged leads are always a lot of places, okay?  And you get to where you're knocking about 100 to 125 doors per week and you're gonna do enough knocking and enough activity that you're gonna end up making money just because, okay? So if you're the person out there, you're like, I have no money, I'm struggling.  And he said it on video 4,872 times in the last year. This is true, this is my basic idea to go out, put forth some activity, okay? Maybe a little gas money, maybe a lot of hard work, maybe you define your pitch, your role play, your practice, you get really good at what you're saying, you get really good at getting in the home. That's how you can make sales. Those people that you're door knocking, these aged leads, they had interest at some point in the past, act like it's brand new, don't act like it's old. Tip number one, don't make that mistake, okay? Also, just assume that they wanna talk to you. They probably already bought something. If they did, you can help them and replace it, you can add more, maybe they didn't do it, maybe they're procrastinating, maybe you're better closed, maybe you can get them to do it now. This is my way of, hey, you wanna go make 100K with a little, very little money?  This is a small way to help you guys solve that.
