Live from Las Vegas, Nevada. It's theCUBE, covering EMC World 2015. Brought to you by EMC, Brocade, and VCE. Hello everyone, welcome back to day two of theCUBE live in Las Vegas for EMC World 2015. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. I'm John Michaels, Dave Vellante for a kickoff of day two of three days of wall-to-wall coverage. Two cubes for the SiliconANGLE.tv. There's two channels, and you can check out all the action. We're kicking off day two.  We're going to discuss quickly with Dave, Dave, you know, Joe Tucci. We had Paul Moritz, Pat Gelsinger, obviously Jonathan Martin, EMC, showing you the big data use. What's going on? What's your take? We've got a big day lineup here. All the heavies are out today. Well, tonight was a better day than day, John. It's not a side-axe, it's kind of funny. Joe's a little uncomfortable, but he did a good job, and then Mr. Spock came out the end. Tucci was relaxed, and he's dressed in pink shirt. Looked good, looked tan. Talked about sort of really wanting to focus on the Federation, that was the theme today. Introducing his CDOs, in particular, Gelsinger and Moritz. Both gave presentations. Moritz really spent a lot of time up there talking about the whole pivoting strategy and the sort of tip of the spear, which is the old pivot of labs, creating digital experiences, and then Cloud Foundry, spent a lot of time with Cloud Foundry, and the open-source foundation that they're building, and then the big data app platform that they're talking about.  Actually, Moritz went much longer than Gelsinger. I would have thought for this crowd, Gelsinger would have been the main highlight, but it was Moritz. Well, Moritz threw in the mainframe comment again, all the goods of the mainframe, interesting. IBM's earnings, the Z Group's doing very well. So we're going to fly back to the mainframe, and what they're doing is in the Cloud Format. Gelsinger's talking about OpenStack runs better on VMware. Absolutely, OpenStack's a big part of their strategy. We're going to have SDN focus as well, conversion infrastructure. But the big thing that I like about EMC is that they're really, and this is Tucci brought this up, is that they're talking about digital transformation, and digital transformation is the key to their strategy. All their customers are transforming Dave, and this is a new positioning for EMC, not new in what they deliver for outcomes, but you're hearing things like, you know, most of our engineers are software developers, we're focused on business outcomes, and then you hear words like digital transformation. What does this mean? So, I mean, I think everybody's talking here at this show about digital transformation. Tucci talked about it, Moritz talked about it, Pat talked about it. I thought that Gelsinger had the best sort of visual. He had a bridge over some river in Pennsylvania.  And, you know, that's the big challenge. I think the interesting thing for this company is, Dave Goulden talks about platform 2.5, which is, it has to be like a half way house, to use your term.  And I think that, you know, remains to be seen, John, the big question that people have that I've been talking to is, you know, the sort of visionaries is, can VMware specifically and EMC and the Federation generally, from a cost structure standpoint, you know, play in the open stack, you know, open source world? That's what's going to be really interesting.  What are you, what's your take on all this? Well, I mean, I love what VMware's doing with Pivotal and EMC. I think the Federation strategy is really brilliant. And it is a lock-in spec with all the window dressing of choice, as a Joe Tutti says. We don't want lock-in when a choice, but the de facto lock-in is going to be functionality at a cost structure, you mentioned. That's unprecedented. And I think the elements of the Federation will allow customers to deploy solutions that are agile, more flexible, more business driven for outcomes. And to me, that's going to be the key. Now, what's interesting is the ecosystems of all three. You got EMC, trying to develop an ecosystem from being a box pusher now to a solutions provider. VMware's got an amazing ecosystem, and Pivotal obviously has an ecosystem on the app side and with Cloud Foundry growing very fast. So, those three seem to be awesome. Joe Tutti mentioned also M&A activity. Classics always talks about the M&A piece. I think EMC will be a big buyer of startups. I think you're going to have a crop of tuck-unders. I think there's going to be startups that are going to be unicorns that are going to flame out. You know, companies that are raising billions of dollars, valuation-wise, are not going to make it. They're not going to hit escape velocity. We've heard that on theCUBE before, and I think there's a huge opportunity for M&A activity in the next 18 months where you will see companies in the $250 to $500 million range be acquired, be plugged into the machinery of the Federation, and fill in the white spaces. So, you know, Dave, I want to get your take because you and I talked about this, about companies that get massive funding that go all in. We talked about Lumio yesterday with John Thompson. We talked about Pure Storage briefly. Yesterday's competition to EMC. These are companies that are way overvalued from an M&A standpoint, so they're going for broke. What's your take? Can they get an escape velocity? Will they be formal competition against the Federation? And if EMC continues to execute with ExtremeIO, with the Federation, playing an open source, they've got a pretty killer formula, but the question is, who is going to challenge them? Well, I just want to follow up with something you said. So EMC spends 12% of its revenue on R&D and then another 8% on acquisitions. Joe Tucci, as for years, talked about his string of Pearl strategy, tuck-ins. You know, obviously, VMware was more than a tuck-in. It was a blockbuster, but I think in general, you're absolutely right. There's going to be continued consolidation. EMC has been one of those companies that we've noted on theCUBE as a sharp acquirer of companies, Oracle, IBM, Cisco, EMC, and there are others, but those are the big ones. And so I think, yes, you're absolutely going to continue to see more of that. In regards to escape velocity, generally, and specifically for those flash guys, I think that only one or maybe two are going to see that escape velocity. I think actually Pure is going to make it, believe it or not. But I think they're going to make it in a different way than a lot of people, certainly the Pure people are positioning. I see ExtremeIO as the VMAX and I see Pure as the VNX, which is not a bad market, but I see that Pure is sort of that mid-range, two-controller, not super, super, super scale out, and I think the beast is a good name for ExtremeIO, so that's really where I think Pure is going to be successful. And I do think they'll get escape velocity, but I don't see a lot of those guys getting it. I think it's going to see a lot of acquisitions or some kind of shakeout. We talk about Amazon all the time, about Amazon always releasing new features and new products. If EMC continues on this torrid pace of innovation, Pure Storage will have a hard time innovating at that pace, so therefore on the competitive heels, they might settle into a more of a mid-range, but in general. Yes, I mean, as dominant as EMC is, two-thirds of the people don't buy from EMC, so there's a big market for guys like Pure, but I think that to your point, HP, IBM, EMC, to a certain extent Oracle, all have their storage and flash strategies in place, NetApp maybe to a lesser extent, but the rich going to get richer, John. That's my prediction. Well, you're watching theCUBE. We've got a lot of great guests coming up here. We've got Jonathan Martin, the CMO. We've got CJ, who's the president of the Emerging Division, Technology's Division. We've got Pat Gelsinger at 320 here. And remember, we've got two cubes, so there's two channels on silkenangle.tv. Check out the two channels, check out the videos. We're going to get up on YouTube as fast as possible. And as always, there's always a ton of content flying out of theCUBE. Join CrowdChat.net slash EMCworld. And tomorrow we're going to have an exclusive CrowdChat with Jeremy Burton, ask him anything at 12 o'clock Pacific. Go to CrowdChat.net slash EMCworld at 12 o'clock tomorrow for Jeremy Burton, ask him anything on CrowdChat. So bring on the questions. He's very transparent, loves to talk, and he's very candid. So join the conversation. And of course, we're theCUBE, adding to the conversation, creating the conversation. Here all day, wall-to-wall coverage. Here at EMCworld 2015 in Las Vegas. We'll be right back after this short break.


Okay, so now we have here some pieces of some little cylindrical flasks that you have here which besides actually the very high-skill production, you know, of for instance the U-wares and all the big vessels and so on, you have a lot of diverse little objects, little vessels and things like that carved in rock crystal as well during the Islamic period. So what is very interesting with the cylindrical flask is when I showed you the other day the tubular drill used to hollowed out for the first operation of following out of for instance a U-wares, you have a bore core which forms, you know, inside the tubular drill. You remember the little cylindrical thing I showed you. So this is, it's hypothetical but in theory this is possible that this bore core was reused letter to make these cylindrical flasks. And first they use the grinding wheel with abrasives and water to shape the main relief of the decoration.  And then they are going to use all the cutting disks in copper or other soft metal with abrasive powder, so corandum for instance, to carve the lines and the decoration like the little spiral here. You see? And all the lines, the curved were all made using the copper, not copper but I think copper but mainly the abrasive. And the inside of course was also made using the tubular drill, a smaller tubular drill and at the bottom you can see. Oh yeah. And I think this is that one that we found residues stuck, you know, at the bottom so we analyzed them with XRF at Cronfield University and well, we expected to find the abrasive powders and then to have been, you know, the way to finally find what was the abrasive, but actually they probably, as I suspect, that what they found was residues of cosmetics. Okay, yeah, because these were perfume and coal and probably, yeah, probably, but there were, there were, there was no systematic studies about it. Okay. And so maybe for another occasion. So then they finished to carve the decoration and first using all the tools I told you and at the end of the process they finally polish everything.

Hi everybody Andrea here with dental oil tutoring so you might be wondering what do I have to know about dental implants and the bone for the dental assisting or the dental hygiene board exam so they are going to ask you questions about this a lot of people wonder about dental implants especially depending on where you're located they may or may not be a popular thing to do you might just go to a bridge instead implants aren't even talked about only the rich get dental implants you know there's many different myths about it but you do have to know about it for the board exam so I'm going to go over a couple case studies questions with you and then I'm going to talk about it a little bit more of what you do have to know for the board exam so these case studies that I'm about to go over with you they are the same case studies that I have inside my VIP board exam prep academy so definitely check out the full course if you are studying for the board exam and you need help we go through different topics every single week there are new case studies mock exams quizzes lectures teaching videos such as this one you will learn so much and you will be confident in passing that board exam the first time I still maintain a 99 plus success rate helping students pass on their first attempt I've been teaching now for oh my goodness about 18 years and I do it all online so I would love to help you but let's go through some questions are you guys curious so let's see how you all do so a patient presents with a missing tooth and desires a dental implant as a replacement option after conducting a thorough examination you discover that the patient has insufficient bone volume in the area where the implant is is planned according to implant dentistry principles what would be the most appropriate step so I'll let you guys read through the questions a little bit um and feel free to pause the video if you need to take more time reading over the questions I'm going to go through them over with you too so like I said pause the video if you don't want to hear me rambling on so dental implants what are dental implants for there to replace a missing tooth but not everybody can automatically get a dental implant it's dental surgery right within the bone but more people can get it than they think you know would you place a dental implant on a 99 year old probably not because they'd be spending two to four thousand dollars depending on the type of implant where it is um and they will have that that dental implant for life but it goes without saying they're 99 years old how long are they going to keep the dental implant so that might not be the best option if somebody's 18 years old and misses a tooth is missing a tooth in an accident are you going to put on a dental bridge even though those other two teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are perfectly fine or are you going to do a dental implant you will probably do a dental implant depending some dentists might want to wait until that patient is 19 or 20 or some say 18 is the perfect age why not everybody's different but in this case you guys let's look at what it says in the question so there's a missing tooth they want a dental implant but the patient doesn't have enough bone for that implant bone is important because what happens when you place a dental implant without enough bone it can fall out it can fail so the patient spends all of this money and then uh oh not good so reading through all of these questions what do you feel the best answer is the best answer is a you want to proceed with the dental implant as planned utilizing bone grafting techniques to augment the deficient area so does this make sense to everybody you don't just automatically want to say they can't do the implant because there's not enough bone how do you know if the patient doesn't have enough bone you took x-rays right but you don't just want to automatically say that although that will be in your mind it's like oh okay so this is going to be more complicated than we thought are they going to want to go through bone grafting procedures maybe not but maybe they are we can't make that decision for them we need to ask them so we wouldn't say no sorry it's not suitable we're just going to give you a crown instead what about C so C is to delay the implant placement and monitor the patient's bone levels over time to assess that natural bone regeneration well bone doesn't come back so C can't be the right answer right it just can't happen and then D would you refer them to an oral surgeon for a complex bone reconstruction well we didn't even talk about anything being complex we just said they might need a bone graft so that's why A is the most correct does that make sense to everybody would you like to go over one more let's do one more so a patient presents with multiple missing teeth and is interested in dental implants so same type of thing during the assessment you discover that the patient has a systemic condition that affects bone metabolism uh-oh leading to poor bone density according to dental hygiene principles what should be considered when discussing dental implants for this patient so other things you have to think about they have a systemic disease so feel free to pause the video if you need to think about this a little bit we're going to go through the answer right now so D is the best answer and I have the rationale here for you so basically you want to consult with the patient's health care provider to evaluate their bone health and and determine if they are suitable for implants now patients with systemic conditions affecting bone metabolism may have compromised bone density which can impact the dental implants it is essential to collaborate with the patient's health care provider to assess their bone health and determine if it's still appropriate for implants so they're not writing them off completely so working together with their team can really help determine it but it doesn't look good does it I mean if they if it affects bone metabolism leading to poor bone density that can't be good the implant might fail so maybe let the patient know that if they really wanted the dental implant but let's go through the other answers so it would not be a because it doesn't necessarily say that this patient has poor bone density but their condition could give them poor bone density so there's nothing concrete yet so that's why a is not correct b is not correct either because you can't just go ahead blindly with the dental implant when you know all of these factors could cause the implant to fail and c well to recommend alternative treatment options such as removable dentures due to increased risk of implant failure isn't wrong it's good to discuss alternative options but that's still jumping the gun um jumping the gun you still want to consult with the patient's health care provider to go over all of this or you're not doing your job we always need to work together as health care providers like doctors dentists nurses chiropractors all of that we need to work together so the patient has the best care possible so you guys this is part of the case studies um implants and bones case studies that I have inside the VIP board exam prep academy for dental hygiene students and dental assisting students so there are two separate ones if you're a dental hygiene student taking the board exam you want to join the VIP board exam prep academy if you're a dental assisting student hygiene student you want to be a part of this board exam prep academy there are two separate courses there are new weekly classes online everything's done online learn at your own pace if you want to go ahead with kind of what i'm teaching you per week you can i give you kind of an outline of what to study per week if you decide to do that or you can join anytime and just sort of learn at your at your own pace through each module one by one after each module you will have new case studies new mock exams teaching videos all kinds of things and I update the course often this isn't the type of tutoring prep course that's updated maybe every three years where you'll see a power point for from like 2019 no this is updated at least yearly it's usually two or three times a year so everything's new depending on when you're watching the video I just added new case studies today so depending on when you're watching the video so let me know you guys have any questions I hope this helped clarify a few things about dental implants and I am always here if you need help thank you guys for watching and i'll see you in the next one


Vice President Kashim Shatema says increasing domestic finance and industrialization and improved outcomes will be top most on the agenda of the administration in the health sector. The vice president stated this when a delegation from the global health partners, the Global Fund United States President's Malaria Initiative PMI and the U.S. President's emergency plan for AIDS relief paid him a curtsy visit at the presidential villa. Earlier, the Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Professor Ali Pate, said the visit of the global health partners was to take stock of the progress made so far, and reassure the Tinnable's administration of their commitment to the efforts to combat HIV-AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis among others. This visit symbolizes the confidence, the alignment that our global partners have around the vision of our president, President Bola Ahmed Tinnable, and his desire to transform Nigeria's health system to improve the health and well-being of Nigerians. The two visitors, three of them, have now committed almost two billion U.S. dollars in grant financing for health of Nigerians over the next three years. That's a remarkable commitment, which shows they are confident on the vision of our president and the approach that we have now taken to deliver on that, along with state governments and local governments. And all Nigerians will need to put hands together so that we move the health sector forward as a basis for transforming our population to be very productive and to achieve the prosperity that is suddenly in our future. On his part, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Ambassador John Nkegasang, said the visit has provided an opportunity for the partners to appreciate the vision and direction of the Tinnable administration for the health sector. To lend our support to the new administration in the fight against HIV-AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria, we have a strong partnership with the government of Nigeria in all three domains, especially in the area of HIV-AIDS, which I oversee. And over the last close to 20 years, we've invested about 7.8 billion dollars in supporting your fight against HIV-AIDS. Want to assure the government of Nigeria that we will continue to work with them under their leadership as they chart a new direction for the health outcomes in the country. Nigeria is the largest recipient of global fund financing of any country in the world. And we are in the process of designing programs and committing about a billion dollars that will be provided by the Global Fund to Nigeria over the next three years. These programs include HIV programs working in partnership with PEPFAR, malaria programs working in coordination with the Presidential Malaria Initiative and of course with the government itself, and also TB programs.


Hi folks, welcome on back here this Wednesday afternoon, May 11th, shortly after 2.30 p.m. Eastern time. Welcome on back here for our afternoon meeting. Great to see or perhaps rejoining us perhaps now. Nina, Johannes, Michael, I saw Norman, Bill. Great to see all of you rejoining us perhaps live inside the Cyber Group Room. And if you're rejoining us back on social media, Facebook Live or YouTube, welcome on back as well. Where do we begin, folks? Where do we begin? It's been a steep drop off across the afternoon up until right now. We're starting to get a little short covering, but that's not going to last us too long. History has kind of shown us this week. So for right now, I mean, I'd be more focused on the short side, looking for a lower high. Coinbase, I mean, for right now, Coinbase down over 25%, but making a pretty good dead cat bounce right now off at 50. So, you know, hey, we had this on the morning watch list. It was a nice short. And then going into the early afternoon here, it's been a pretty good call off the 50 level. So easily enough, I'll just put this on our watch list to begin. Coinbase, rip off a sheet of paper there. Bill asks, so we haven't fun yet. It's like, what movie is it? Is it Gladiator? He's like, are you not entertained? You know, it's like, is it that? I mean, really, this is a great day for day trading. It's a great day for shorting, obviously. Clearly not a good day for long-term portfolios and whatnot. But, you know, hey, that's why, you know, it certainly pays to be a member inside this live trading room, pays to be a student, most importantly, and learn how to short and learn how to ultimately follow the smart money, right? So, you know, hey, this could be easy to save, but for as much as Coinbase gap down and dropped off when the market opened up. All right, well, we would typically focus on whole number levels, 50 cent price levels. You know, for Coinbase, really not 50 cent levels, actually like mainly just dollar levels to begin. But aside from dollar levels, how about $5 levels? And aside from $5, how about $10 levels? So, you know, when you look at a price like 50, $50, you know, $10 increment, half century number, that's clearly going to be a psychological level, clearly going to be just a large volume level on top of that. And that's what led to a nice bounce so far on Coinbase. All right, so we'll see what we could put on our watch list here alongside Coinbase. I'm not going to find much from the Gainer's side. I do know that to begin. So, you know, we'll try and go through the Gainer's side here pretty quick. One thing that I'll find likely on the Gainer's list is UVXY, which, you know, although the market's dropped off, UVXY, SQQQ, Vixy, you know, all of those ended up, you know, breaking out and running up pretty nicely, heading into the early afternoon. So, we'll see what we can catch. RGLS. I skipped over this, but it's AFI. I will go back to it. Let me start off on AFI. I'd be remiss to not begin with number one, number one, technically. AFI ended up running up pretty nicely earlier. Now it's just like pretty flat. So, for the afternoon, it's got to prove itself a little bit more to us during this meeting. I'll, you know, write it down on the side list, come back to it maybe at the end. Same to be said on RGLS. Actually, I'm more interested in the AFI if anything adds up right now, but, you know, it seemed to be set on both. Q-Tech here.  It's been like, honestly, like it's just a dud. Ended up like kind of spiking up throughout the morning, you know, popped up towards 250-ish, and then pulled back down, but it's not really doing a whole lot since. The only thing that you could owe for is for it to, you know, make a sudden breakout heading into the afternoon, heading into three o'clock.  No, but let's just see if there's anything looking a lot better. Again, I'll kind of pair this with AFI, at least come back to these at the end. If you hear my computer in the background by any means, like, if you don't, all right, but if you hear, like, any, like, rumbling in the background in my voice right now, my computer, I don't know what's going on with it today, I gotta reboot it, turn it off for a little bit. All right, let's see what we have here. Hopefully it doesn't blow up during this meeting. CRGE. Nice little run-up from earlier today, but it was low volume. We really didn't focus on this stock throughout the morning. It's actually, like, really my first look at it right now.  It looks like it's the second test of 360 area, you know, right around the VWOP there. So perhaps the more times it can kind of pin at it here and test that at poke at it, we can get a nice breakout, but, you know, again, nothing really too noteworthy about this that I really want to harp on, that I really want to follow each and our block. I don't know if this is earnings-related. It kind of looks like a buyout, looking just at, like, how flat it is, but I'll at least take a look at the news on this one, if it's, like, just like earnings-related, at the fact that it's at the highest here, training back up a little bit. All right, I'm a little interested. Yeah, so it looks like earnings from yesterday afternoon, they ended up, I guess their earnings may have been in line, so to say. Their EPS beat the estimate, sales beat the estimate. So all right, cool. I mean, hey, at the highs right now, pushing up pretty nicely. Let me just take a look on the daily chart. We'll put this on the main list here. I like this Uncle Sam's knock in here. It seems like each and our block making a big push up over the last, like, you know, year and a half since the pandemic, ultimately, but, you know, making a push back up towards the highs that we had back from, I think this is just, like, April time. All right, so at least we got one on the way up here, H&R block, HRB, BWV here, not really doing a whole lot right now. I have a line at 573, which is likely some sort of, like, daily chart level. I ended up noting back from, like, a week ago or so, and, you know, I mean, it's above that price right now, but otherwise here I ended up making a nasty shake, you know, right around one o'clock Eastern. So I'm not expecting that to make another big move back up here before the afternoon. All right, let's kind of skim down the Gainer's side just to see if there's any other, like, no names that I'm, like, familiar with here, which I really don't see. So, I mean, not too surprising, right? So, you know, we expected that, but it's just to say let's hop on over to the Loser's list, see what we can find there. Got a few down big, 44 cents stock, not really too particular about that. Red box from today, unfortunately, for as much as this squeezed up and, you know, hey, we did really well on this trade after the open, ran up pretty nicely, got halted at first, then, you know, really just continue to push up from, like, 330-ish upwards towards, like, close to six, then, well, we'll get it now. So, yeah, you gotta realize, I mean, it goes exactly to what I had said, if not on Redbox, and I'll be honest, I forgot if I said it on Redbox or the, you know, EMBK trade or on the Verus stock, but I know I said this from the morning meeting when I covered in for Fausto here, and, you know, by the way, really quick, he'll be back tomorrow for all of us on Facebook Live, YouTube for all of us live inside the Cyber Group Room. I believe at least, I believe at least Fausto should be back tomorrow morning. But, you know, I said earlier today that on a short squeeze like this, when the volume dies off, so does the stock. So, with that, well, here we go, volume died off, and what happened after the volume died off? Well, I'll even kind of like give it a few minutes here. Once it kind of broke under five, nearly two points lower, that's horrific. So, you know, unless if you could short this, no business with this one here. All right, U, you know what's interesting? We have U, we have U, U, U, which we have traded in the past, and then we have U, U, U, U. I don't know if there is just U, U. Don't check on that. We've traded all of these in the past, nope, no W. All right, this is the first time that we've traded just single U, interesting. But, you know, hey, ended up dropping off going into the market open. That cap bounced actually pretty nicely in a little bit afterwards. So, didn't really make that continued push up until right around 11 o'clock Eastern time, ended up consolidating over and under 33, and once it really broke back under 33 and moved away from that consolidation area, ended up dropping back down quite nicely. So, hey, I could easily put this on our list. It's just beginning to bounce back up right now. I think the only gripe that I would have on this stock, if anything, to like follow here for the next 80 minutes of the day, it's that it's like just trading a lot of volume today compared to what it does on an average, and it traded a lot just yesterday prior to, you know, I guess the earnings that came out. So, even to say, like prior to yesterday, the stock was trading 3.7 mil on average, which, hey, by all measures, for all this live inside the trading room, that's like a great stock to like kind of follow on the side, perhaps, you know, a stock trading like three to five million shares per day. And, you know, if it's one that like has a liquid order book, that's like, you know, very basic underlying criteria for a sideless stock, right? So, it's to say today, this one's trading nearly, well, going to be 43 million shares and it might just be more exhausted now than anything. So, you know, I'll put it on our list because we don't really have a big list to begin. We only have coin in each of our blocks. So, you know, it's not too big right now, but we'll definitely jump to some sideless stocks here. See, you know, in either direction, the market goes in, we'll see if, you know, some like trades like NIO or AMC or, you know, the airlines or cruise lines could follow. Got INO down big, coin base already on the list. No other real familiar names here, at least that I see Novavax would be the only one I'd be like kind of interested in. Ended up making a huge drop today from like 53 down to like 50 or down to 42, you know, sub 43. Again, I'd say the same on this, but this one does trade a lot of volume, you know, day to day and it's not really trading that much more compared to what it does. So, is there a chance that this could, you know, make a bigger, better move here heading into the afternoon perhaps? You know what, I'm kind of selling myself here. I'm putting Novavax on our watch list for right now. All right, so NVAX we'll put on our list. Let's see, I don't really see much else though here. Let's just jump to like the NIOs, the airlines, cruise lines and all the other side list stocks for right now. NIO pretty flat, it ended up getting crushed earlier today. This was like such a good short today. You know, if you follow me here in the afternoons on social media, you know that I tend to look at NIO quite a bit, some other stocks too, but you know, this one is like my bread and butter of Lee and just such a good short right away, not right away, I should say, but as soon as I ended up jumping in on the short, ended up providing as a great trade, especially from the opening print, once it broke under that, that's really when it ended up going smooth sailing. So that 1380 level ended up providing as a great level to try and take the trade from, just took a little while to get the gears going from 1380, once it broke away from it, it ended up dropping off really nicely with the market. AMC, if you were able to get the shares, you know, really good short there as well. DraftKings, same to be said there, you know, after the squeeze up early on this morning, ended up dropping off quite nicely. American Airlines, not a whole lot really to write home about with these stocks right now folks. You know, hey, if the market ends up making like a more convincing move upward heading into the close, or if it ends up tailing back down, I'm sure these will, you know, act accordingly, but there's nothing really special about any of them right now. Hate to break it to us folks, not every watch list is gonna be big or not every watch list is gonna have like a whole bunch of like A plus opportunities. So, and I truly believe that the four I put on the watch list so far, Coinbase, H&R Block, you and Novavax are the best to start off with, but if there is a sideless stock that you particularly do well on more days than not, then put that stock on your personal main list, if anything, you know what I mean. Oh, Boris, inside our live trading room. Good evening from Nottingham, England. Boris, good evening, and welcome aboard to our live trading room. Ron says, the old saying, stocks in May and walk away. I sell in May and walk away, right? I think that was it. Yeah, I guess that prevails here.  I said, you know, not to guarantee any direction. I'm just saying like, don't put all of your weight in just like that one historical trend. I learned that the hard way in quarter four with crypto. AFRM potential dead cap bounce. Yeah, for as much at least as AFRM has dropped off the last like what, five days now? This could be a better side list stock to follow and then put on the main list at least. You know, very liquid, decent spread for right now. 11,000 share order on the bid sitting there at 1559. So, you know what, I like this one in particular, the AFRM trade. That's where I'll also take a look at like, what was the other one like upstart UPST for as volatile as this one has been and for as much as this one dropped off from yesterday and namely the gap down or it's already making a hell of a squeeze, right? So a little late to the party on upstart for right now but I wouldn't mind putting, you know, this one on our watch list here. I do a lot of talking here sometimes. So it should get a little short wire into the brain here every now and then. So, all right, if there's anything else up down left right more than 5%, just type it in the chat board, just let me know. And it says MTTR bottomed out yet. Yes, I mean, it's like near the highs and it's up over 9%. You know, making that dead cat bounce from the last few days as well. I feel like this one's more likely to kind of, kind of like stall out here heading into the close but it's actually showing some good strength here. You know, it doesn't hurt us to put this one on our list. MTTR, the type of stock that you would want to follow here for the close at least up big or up, you know, decently big and, you know, pretty liquid. The CSS is buying Redbox for 87 cents or for 80, yeah, for 87 cents per share, all shared deal. John, is that true? I gotta look that up afterwards.  There's long ways to go to get down to 87 cents, so. All right, I'll tell you what, I think that we're just about good to go. I don't have anything else on social media or at least on YouTube live. I don't have the Facebook chat open for this meeting here but I know that the audio was good to go for this meeting. I triple checked that for all of us that were joining me in the morning meeting. I ended up realizing the mic was off or not on for YouTube for about five minutes in so I appreciate you folks bearing with me there. I ended up learning from my mistake. How about that?

He is also one of India's foremost multi-business enterprises with interests in consumer products, hotels, paper, agribusiness and IT. ITC Foods is the third largest packaged food company in India and also the fastest growing with strong play in staples, snacks, biscuits, noodles, spices, juices, dairy, chocolates, etc. all that we consume. So please ladies and gentlemen put your hands together, even the worst ones with me as I invite and welcome Mr. Hemant Malik, a very warm welcome and sir over to you. Thank you. Thank you very much. It indeed is a pleasure to be here today. And you know, I think the world is moving very fast. I thought my session was at four o'clock, but the session is at three fifty. So I'm glad I connected in time. Thank you for the introduction about ITC and ITC Foods. And yes, I have been a lifer here at ITC and have been lucky to be playing a role in development of many of our brands as well as businesses. In fact, as I was thinking about this session and, you know, I'm more of a practitioner than a theorist. And when we talk about marketing redefined, I have to put it in my language. This is about 20 years back and, you know, I spent many years now when I look at my young colleagues in my office, you know, I might have started work before I was still being born. The I remember my first. Marketing campaign, we were launching our share of the ITC Foods, I just got into the art of business and we had developed a new communication. Thanks to Prasoon Joshi, who was who's been with us for the last so many years. And this ad campaign is going on air is the first time you're putting it on air and my CEO, who actually for the first time, I was working with somebody who was not from the marketing function, so to say. And he asked me a simple question and he says, you know, Aiman, you're doing this session, you're doing this campaign. What is going to be the sales lift because of this? And here I'm wondering what answer to give. I said, no, no, it's going to make brand awareness. It'll make a difference to how people look at my brand. But he said, you know, auntie is spending the money so that we can get some sales. I said, yeah, of course, and you will get it. But it was so difficult to actually answer such a simple question in terms of what part of my mix is going to make a difference to what the sales happens. But I think over the years, you know, this is an answer that I think as marketers, we may be able to give to a better degree than you than the entire 5050 rule where you don't know which 50% works. And I think that is what is this whole modern marketing all about. And I heard, I will talk a lot about digital and, you know, your entire tech munch is about technology. And as we see the consumer, you know, the adoption of digitization by the consumer is all pervasive. And when you look at the consumer journey of discovering, engaging with and buying brands are becoming increasingly fluid and driven by micro moments, which actually forms a web of footprints across channels and leaving behind trails of rich data in the bargain. And it's put in into marketers to wake up to this reality of drying out strategies that are connected and in real time. This whole change is also making a difference in the in the evolution as far as consumer insighting process is concerned. Consumers are more available to you. You can not only speak with them, you can also follow the behavior and understand more in terms of what they're talking, what they're communicating about. This has a this has an impact in terms of new product development. Fast, you can get into the market. You are lucky, you get fairly quick feedback from the consumer as well. And it also gives us an opportunity to learn to learn fast and to adopt. At the same time, when we look at digital communication and we look at now performance marketing, which is supporting a significant opportunity for planning as well as for analytics. And this COVID has actually brought the coming of age of e-commerce where you have a much more amount of information data analytics that is that is possible and many platforms share the reports and you can actually understand much more about how the consumer is actually purchasing your purchasing your brands. At the same time in FMCG space, the lot of new channels of distribution coming up and for legacy companies, as I will mention, where the strength has been about distribution and reach today. That particular strength is getting democratized because of e-commerce as well as players like Iran. But when you look at all these changes that I briefly talked about, technology is at the cornerstone of everything. And therefore, when I was thinking about the session here today and I said that, you know, what is it that I can share today? And I wanted to share my experience, which is what is a role that leadership can play in towards creating a modern marketing way of life, a modern marketing team of players who actually look at data, who look at technology, you know, and I felt that the most important role that leaders can play is in terms of being evangelists for this. They have to be the chief sponsor for this change.  To change the mindset towards even investing in digital was a big deal because people wouldn't, you know, the marketing teams weren't convinced about it, you know, we were barely spending 2%, 3% of our monies on digital. And the whole debate was, you know, does it really work? How do we measure? How do we go about knowing whether this because I still believe that my traditional media of reach is way superior than what it is. And I realized that if you have to change mindset, I think probably it was also coming in from lack of knowledge, right? And therefore, the first task was in terms of how do we go about capability building, how do we give exposure to our people? How do we look at skill development? And what are the processes that you set in place for continuous knowledge enhancement? We had evangelists in the form of Facebook and Google. We created joint business plan partnerships. We learned from them in terms of how to develop digitally optimized creatives. I sent a team of my marketing people to Singapore to spend time with Google, who actually showed in terms of which kind of how the advertising needs to be crafted and customized for this medium. Then we moved towards in terms of creating a digital day where we could expose our team to the larger ecosystem that is available. And we had a lot of partners who came, who presented in terms of what is a new thinking that is going in. We also felt that it is important for the organization digital language to evolve and we crafted a full program. And when we were crafting the program, we realized that if everybody does not start speaking the new language, then only if the young brand managers has learned about it, it is not going to make a difference. So each of us went through this program. It was sponsored from head office in Calc from ITC. And therefore, it was not only limited to food business. It was across all our businesses to be able to develop one common language when somebody talks about top of the funnel and the bottom of the funnel, it becomes a language that all of us can kind of relate to and understand. At the same time, I believe that continued learning comes from new solution providers. And now there's so many of them and you have to see whether are you an organization that they want to come and show their new development? Are you the one which is going to be open to trying something new and something different? Sometimes things will work. Sometimes things will not work. But can we be at that cutting edge to actually experiment continually? We also realized at this point that all the skills were not available in house and we went, we got a new talent, a talent which had sufficient experience in terms of digital who came and crafted this the digital journey for us. We got also in-house creative development and that was something that we also had to decide whether we should only outsource. But when you started talking about moment marketing, you realize that you needed something in-house.  And actually, I recall setting up, I said, OK, very simply this year, 9% of your marketing budgets on whatever goes on ATL has to be spent on digital. And today it sounds very funny that you had to sell this, but it was just not too long back. I think the last one has completely changed it. But before that, and it was important to do that because once people start spending, they start realizing that there is some clear advantage that comes in. I recall that we have about 13 brands at that time active and we had 13 digital agencies. So we kind of said, no, we can't have more than two. So we're going to work only with two because then they can see a larger pie of business with us and they will be able to give the best quality support. And that was something that we did. At the same time, personally, I believe that it has been my role to continually challenge the team to be contemporary because this world is changing so fast. There was a TikTok which came and it went when Instagram started and today it's part of everybody's lives. But how do you make sure that you are going to be one of those first to participate in the new ideas that are coming up? Normally, we've been very shy in terms of participating in awards, but I think when it came to digital, I said, no, I want all of us to participate as much and win as many awards as you can, because that will change the way that you're going to participate. Further increase confidence in what you're doing and you learn a lot from all the other participants. The other thing I found, and that is when you deal with very set of very smart youngsters, is that there are times when you have to also highlight that you may not be as smart as you think, right? And that itself can be a big motivator. I recall that, you know, I asked for once some information in terms of this is about what is happening on e-commerce and I'm talking about three years back or maybe four years back. And I realized to my surprise that in a city like Delhi, for Ashirba data, about 20% of my business was coming from e-commerce. And I knew that my marketing team was not aware that this is already happening, because if they were aware, they would have actually found reasons how to actually build it even more. So I asked them this question, the marketing manager and said, do you know how much sale in Delhi is happening? And Delhi was one of our biggest market. But I think that was a turning point, because the moment people realize the potential, I think today needless to say it's, you know, for, I think it's true for every company and so is it for us that the business has grown rapidly. But it was just not only looking at the sale, then it started looking in terms of the quality of content, right? And then you started looking at in terms of review and ratings, because just to get that, and I'm very happy to say today that I think 90% of our brands are rated superior in terms of rating across a cross-platform, which are showing rating compared to our competition. And it also puts pressure personally on me to try to be contemporary, you know, and maybe in sessions like these and friends like Novel actually help out in terms of telling me what all is happening, so that one can always be be contemporary. But I think the largest onus is about investing in technology. It's about investing ahead of the curve. And I think as far as ITC is concerned, we have always, you know, believed that technology is going to be the way forward. And this is one area where you are, it's very difficult to actually show return on investment to start with, but the technology itself starts delivering return on investment in the long term. And we've done some significant interventions. We've set up a 24-7 social media listening that we did about two and a half years back, which we call the sixth sense. And that has become a significant source of trendspotting of inside generation. We've had new launches last year. We launched immunity juice when COVID happened first in the few days itself, you discovered what is happening as far as immunity is concerned. We tied up with the AMVEI and we naturally launched their immunity juices. All of you would have heard the Dalgona coffee craze, which had happened and we created a sun bean beaten cafe that we launched. We saw a lot of concerns in terms of quality of food and we launched our nature super food. So this sixth sense has become a real power source for us of information. And I think it also, you know, there's one more aspect that happens when social media becomes very, very, very big is the risk to your brands. Because there are times they can be fake news, they can be rumors. And I think you are able to pick it up, track it and actually be able to address it very, very quickly. You've also gone in the journey of building first party data, of building a customer data hub using the leverage of cross ITC's databases. And I think it's doing very well. Now it's got added with DMP.  And we've been able to create our cohorts and actually purpose our communication depending upon the cohort that we are targeting. This was a time we also launched our own store, the ITC store. And that I think has been a fantastic job done by the team to pay almost more than 700 products that are available on ITC store. It's available in six metros. We, you know, promise delivery the next day. And today it's almost about 45% of my total e-com sale is coming from the store. And the reason was that we knew we're launching so many products. We've launched about 100 new products every year for the last three years as ITC. And it was important because by the time you can get listed in every platform. But this is one platform where we can make sure that we are listed and we can take this conversation with the consumer forward in terms of not only talking about the product, but in terms of how you can use it and how you can, you know, get more feedback from it. We have a customer care center that tells us about, so we use, you know, voice to text, NLP to mine data that comes in towards the same. So this is the piece where I'm talking about investment in technology. This is most critical. And I think this is, again, a space which is continuous to evolve. There is more that is happening. Of course, you need to have a very clear vision in terms of where you want to take it, how it is seamless so that information available is easy for people to look at, to analyze and to actually use. The next area I found very exciting was about building chain champions. And to me, the youngest people who've joined ITC fresh out of college, they became the reverse mentors for us. They are the people who drove the first journey for digital and that actually, you know, powered the system in a way because people got that empowerment as well as, you know, they were digital natives. So it was much easier for them to look at. And of course, the categories that are more reliant on digital, I think that D2C is a concept that, again, we are looking at quite, quite, quite seriously. Having said that, you know, the most important thing, of course, is about feeling proud about what you're doing, motivation through celebrating your best practices. And we launched a forum, what we call the Excellence in Marketing Awards. So there are awards by, you know, by many platforms, but this is the award that we have for our internal platform because we have a fairly large marketing team, large number of agencies where the agencies and brand managers together present the best, what they would have done in terms of creatives, in terms of insight generation, in terms of execution. And we completed our fifth EMMAs two weeks back. And, you know, over the years, newer categories have got added. And to my surprise, I found that eight out of the 13 categories this year were all around digital, around technology, around commerce, around insights, which were based on data. And that was a real pleasure to see that how we have evolved and, you know, how we are geared up to actually, you know, take on whatever is going to happen. And therefore, when I look at in terms of, when I see modern marketing in simple terms, for me, it is about plan to change. It's about manage change. It's about accept change. And it's about embracing change. Thank you.


Post game of Amherst victory over York 1916 the final the winning coach Sean Woods is here Okay, first of all that was one of the greatest lacrosse games. I've ever seen in my life Just talk about that the emotion of that game. It was an incredible game two great teams going at it to really hard-working teams I was really proud of the effort that both teams displayed.  They're very very well coached, especially on the defensive side first So for us to have that success and 19 goals is is almost astonishing But our guys played really well, you know, I want to ask you the same question I actually just asked Brandon Childs the York College head coach for somebody like me to call the game great game loved it Loved watching it for somebody watching at home. What, you know, great game loved it You have to manage the game. So you have to kind of take that out and put your CEO at on How do you do that in a game like this with all the emotions surrounding it? I feed off the energy of our team. We have fun Like it. Well, I think when we have this loose energy about us that the guys are jumping around on the sidelines or cheering each other on I just become part of that like equation and I think our team does an incredible job of Everyone's involved whether you're on the bench or you're on the field I mean everybody's involved in the game and the energy is just electric So I just actually feed off our players energy and become part of the equation Game balls you told me you gave it out to two guys today.

So those two guys just had a great weekend overall on defense I think it was laverty that actually had a huge cause turnover late and played just well all game long So you're missing Gonzalez. You're missing rabbini now from yesterday's game injuries, but still this performance today Yeah, next man up and that's our mentality and we've got a lot of a lot of players that don't play on game They they're very good players. So and they work hard in practice. They know if something does happen their name gets called They'll be ready to go but really proud of Lawson.

But against that team that's a pretty good defensive effort talk about the faceoff battle between cop and fessia ponte That was one of the funnest things to watch. He wasn't it just like they were going back It was like a heavyweight bout and they're two very good faceoff players and I was really proud of our guy I was really proud of their guy I mean they just they put a lot of effort into their craft and I was just impressed by both sides What did you learn about your team this weekend resilient?

Item number SCP-2665 Object Class Safe Containment Protocols SCP-2665-A is housed at Site 48 in a safe class containment locker. Testing with SCP-2665-A is currently being supervised by Dr. Smith. SCP-2665-A is not to be used for testing unless permission is granted from Senior Researcher Andrew, or a Level 3 Researcher. The tunnels within SCP-2665-B are to be constantly monitored by guards, who are also tasked with searching the tunnels in order to retrieve any additional documents written by the ENCC. SCP-2665-B's known entrances have been closed off using a cover story of hazardous tunnel collapses. Update As of Test 2665-A-6, access to SCP-2665-A is to be granted only to Senior Researchers. Junior Researchers are authorized to assist with testing of SCP-2665 only at the request of a Senior Researcher. Description SCP-2665 is the collective designation given to anomalies SCP-2665-A and SCP-2665-B. SCP-2665-A is a weathered pickaxe made out of non-anomalous oak wood and iron. It measures 5.5 kilograms in weight and 1 meter in length. SCP-2665-A's anomalous effects manifest when a subject holds SCP-2665-A with one hand near the head and the other at the base of the handle, C-Footnote 1. When holding SCP-2665-A in this manner, subjects will experience an audio-visual hallucination referred to as a 2665 event. During the hallucination, subjects will witness an event that matches up with real-life actions undertaken by the extra-normal creature's control, C-Footnote 2. The subject's hallucinations will either take place within Connecticut, Massachusetts, or another northeastern state within America. SCP-2665-B is an abandoned facility located within a small mountain in Blank, Connecticut. This facility was the main base of the ENCC. Inside the facility are several crudely constructed containment cells for housing anomalous objects or entities. A majority of the anomalies that the ENCC had contained are either missing or have lost their anomalous properties. The anomalies contained by the ENCC have been classified by the Foundation as either Class E objects or anomalous objects. The containment cells have been rebuilt by the Foundation and are being used as D-Class dormitories and Class E holding cells. Discovery of SCP-2665 SCP-2665-B was discovered during the first establishment of Site 48. While constructing the site, personnel discovered the entrance to the abandoned facility within a cliff face of a small mountain. Personnel inspected the area and discovered several documents somewhat similar in format to SCP documents. Foundation documents were researched to determine if the organization was accounted for in the list of known groups of interest. This facility was not included. During further exploration of the facility, Foundation personnel found documents belonging to the Extranormal Creatures Control. It was also discovered that a large part of the facility had been destroyed. The destroyed remains led to a series of mining tunnels and caves. Inscribed on the walls were arrows pointing towards a large cavern filled with water and with sunlight shining through the ceiling of the cave. In the middle of the cave, a book was found containing old documents along with SCP-2665-A. Incident 2665-1 During test 2665-A-6, Senior Researcher Andrew and Junior Researcher Branks took D-1169 inside of SCP-2665-B in order to determine whether any kind of special reaction would occur if a 2665 event were initiated inside of SCP-2665-B. D-1169 then attempted to avoid being part of the test by breaking off a loose stalactite and stabbing the security guard escorting the Class D and researchers. D-1169 then escaped out of SCP-2665-B and was terminated on site when trying to exit Site 48. Shortly following the Class D's escape, Junior Researcher Branks, C-Footnote 3, disappeared. SCP-2665-A was found in one of the caverns in which Branks had previously hidden in. Junior Researcher Branks has yet to be found. Addendum 2665-1 Recover documentation of ENCC anomalies Listed are some of the anomalies contained by the ENCC. Nearly all ENCC anomalies have been contained as SCPs or as Class E's. Report to Dr. Smith if any anomalies are discovered within SCP-2665-B. ENCC-018 Containment Class Low Level Creature Control Object is kept within anomaly locker 018. Personnel are to be on the lookout for any roughly cylindrical objects that have been affected by ENCC-018. Update ENCC-018 instances can be used as a message delivery system. Description ENCC-018 is a phenomenon that randomly affects almost any type of pale or cylindrical shaped object. The phenomenon, designated ENCC-018-A, creates duplicates of a cylindrical object. Some examples are a bucket or cup. If anything is placed within one of the duplicates, the object placed in will fall through the duplicate and exit out of the other one. Anomaly was labeled as E407. ENCC-001 Containment Class Medium Level Creature Control Object is kept within a steel containment chamber in cell 001. Everyone is to remember the control protocols for ENCC-001 at every group meeting. Personnel are not allowed to use ENCC-001 unless approved by Sally and John. Description ENCC-001 is a small box with a lock. The key to ENCC-001 is currently guarded by the founder of the ENCC, John. Whenever an object is placed within ENCC-001, the memories of the object are destroyed. This includes all memories associated with the object. The memory that the object was placed within ENCC-001 will also be destroyed. For example, if one individual places an old watch into ENCC-001 that was passed down from their grandfather, then the memory of the grandfather will also be expunged. Another anomalous effect of ENCC-001 is that it causes itself to be forgotten by some of the personnel within the ENCC. Object was not found in containment cell. ENCC-149, containment class, high level, creature control. ENCC-149 is to be contained in anomaly room 149. They are to be placed within a storage tank filled with water. No personnel are allowed to enter at this time. Constant movement within the containment room must be made. Description. ENCC-149 are six abnormally large sea urchins about the size of a wagon wheel. They do not move when other organisms are constantly moving. However, this applies to only one person per sea urchin. When a subject is not moving, they will charge at the organism and attempt to flee the ENCC facility. ENCC-149 are rather hazardous because the spines they possess are somewhat crystalline. Further text is illegible. Objects were found and classified as E1649. Testing log SCP-2665-A. Note, information on each member of the ENCC has been collected from documentation within SCP-2665-B. The member stating the testing logs are now identified. The members of the ENCC mentioned in the testing logs are Sally Rose, John, C-Footnote 4, Tommy Silver, Truss Jackson, and Andrew Hearth. The other 12 members of the ENCC have not been identified. Test log 2665-A-1. Subject D-1169. Events. D-1169's hallucination showed a passageway within SCP-2665-B. D-1169 sees Sally Rose running down the passageway, being chased by an ENCC-149 instance. D-1169 shifts his body position and takes several steps to look around a corner in the passageway. Rose is seen running towards a pit full of water, but is then pulled to the side by John. The ENCC-149 instance falls into the pit of water and is unable to escape. Tommy Silver and Truss Jackson emerge from the spot where John was hiding, pull Rose to the side, and cover the pit with a net. John compliments everyone for capturing the ENCC-149 instance. Silver and Jackson shake hands, and John kisses Rose. Test is then concluded. Test log 2665-A-2. Subject D-1169. Events. D-1169's hallucination shows a town full of people C-Footnote 5, running and screaming in panic. D-1169 spots an anthropomorphic wasp terrorizing a town. The ENCC arrive. Silver runs toward the entity with a bucket of water and throws it on the entity. The wasp's wings become waterlogged, making flight extremely difficult. John, Rose, Jackson, and Andrew Hearth arrive and grab the entity by the arms and guide it into one of the buildings. D-1169's hallucination flashes to the inside of the building. The ENCC begins to speak with the entity in order to understand why it is terrorizing the town. The entity refuses to speak. Silver then walks over to the entity and comforts it, promising that they are only trying to help. The entity complies and begins to explain. However, the hallucination ends before an explanation is given. Test log 2665-A-3. Subject D-1169. Events. D-1169's hallucination showed the ENCC members by a campfire gazing up at the stars. John is holding a guitar and brings the other members into a song. Lyrics were recorded by D-1169. The group rejoices after the song is finished. The hallucination ends and D-1169 reported a feeling of light-heartedness and nostalgia after the test. Test log 2665-A-4. Subject D-1169. Events. D-1169's hallucination showed a passageway within the ENCC facility. Trust Jackson runs down the passageway, limping, while being pursued by a tall black humanoid entity. He trips and falls to the floor. The humanoid entity runs over to Jackson and begins to physically assault him. The humanoid entity flees after hearing other members of the ENCC running in the humanoid entity's general direction. The other members begin to bandage Jackson. They cease doing so after discovering that he had died from blood loss. Rose takes out a flask and drinks from it. Test log 2665-A-5. Subject D-1169. Events. D-1169's hallucination showed the inside of an ENCC dormitory. John and Sally Rose are spotted arguing. A transcript of the event is provided below. At the end of the hallucination, Rose takes her luggage and leaves John. Transcript. Please, honey, we can't do this without you. It's too much, John. It's just too much. Trust, he had the rest of his life left. Tommy's not going to get better anytime soon. I just don't think I can do this anymore. I'm sorry. I really am. But we have to move on. We have a job to do. The foundation always picked itself up with the foundation. The foundation that's all you talk about. Who are those people anyway? Why haven't they helped us? I'm sorry, John. I can't take care of everything anymore. You have a lot more staff to help you, you know? Goodbye. Addendum 2665.2. Recovered letter. During exploration of SCP-2665-B, a small hole was discovered.  The sculpture depicted the four primary members of the ENCC, John, Rose, Silver, and Jackson. Next to the sculpture was a letter addressed to Sally. The letter is as follows. Two Sally. Isn't it exciting? The mystery, the wonders, the hysteria? Who knew all this would happen, eh, Sally? Once, I was just nobody working at the foundation. Life wasn't that exciting. Working in a cold facility filled with people I didn't know or hated. Honestly, I'm glad this happened to me, that I was sent back.  I got to live out my dream. But more importantly, it allowed me to meet you, Sally. You understood me perfectly, and I would have done anything to keep you safe. That's why I left you at the facility to work and research. I was starting to focus more on my work and losing sight of what really mattered. The people I had around me. I just hope you understand. I never liked my job. I really didn't. But I still did what I had to do. You know that I dedicated myself to my work no matter when or where I am, even if I might not like it. If you ever come back, I hope we can go on more of our own adventures. I'm glad I spent all this time with you. John. Addendum 2665.3 Recovered ENCC Anomalies During routine exploration of SCP-2665-B, an ENCC document was discovered by Agent Saggio. ENCC-111 Containment Class, Medium Level Creature Control ENCC-111 is to be kept within containment chamber room 111. No personnel are to use it at this time. Description ENCC-111 is a phonograph cylinder of unremarkable make. The object cannot play music as the object's cylinder is damaged. The crank is still functional. When a subject aligns themselves with the horn of the object while another user cranks ENCC-111, the anomalous properties become apparent. The memories of the subject will transfer to a nearby object in the subject's vicinity. All memories will be eradicated from the subject. Anyone that interacts with the object that holds the subject's memories will have heavy hallucinations of the subject's memories. Goodbye, Sally. Footnotes 1. This is the traditional way of holding a pickaxe when mining. 2. The ENCC was an anomaly-containing organization similar to the foundation in nature and purpose, but much smaller in scale. It was run by approximately 17 people. The organization went bankrupt around 1855, and by then each member had left the ENCC. 3. Who had been tasked with carrying SCP-2665-A 4. A last name was not given 5. D-1169 was unable to identify the name of the town


Are Dragon Quest Villains Boring? This is something I'm sure a lot of people have thought about, but not many have wanted to address. Throughout the Dragon Quest series we always have a villain. Every game has one big main villain who controls all the monsters in the world and is overall behind everything. Typically, it's some kind of horny guy who is just evil for literally no reason and he lives in a castle and has a second form after you beat him and they're kind of all like that. Now, this was a unique type of villain back when they introduced the Dragon Lord in the first game, especially since this was the first villain in gaming history who had a second form like this and every single JRPG out there ended up copying this trope afterwards. But after 11 games and them gaming has basically the same villain over and over and over again, it does get a little boring if you think about it. I mean, the villains of the first three Dragon Quest games, the Dragon Lord, Hargon and Zoma almost look like the exact same guy and wait, is this dude seriously wearing sandals? Anyway, it's not just the designs either, it's their motivations too. These villains in the series could honestly be interchanged with each other and practically nothing in the story would be different at all. Dragon Quest villains are usually evil for literally no reason.  This is basically every Dragon Quest villain's motivation. The only Dragon Quest villains whose personality doesn't boil down to I'm evil because I want to be are Sorrow from Dragon Quest IV and Corvus from Dragon Quest IX, who I think are actually the two best villains in the entire series. They were a huge step forward for the franchise. They were both wronged by humanity and have some sort of understandable backstory and motivation that lets players at least understand them a little bit better. With DQ4, they not only wrote one of the best villains, but Sorrow's design is one of the best Dragon Quest villain designs. He does not look like your typical villain. He has this very human looking form and he even gets redemption arc added to the remake of Dragon Quest IV, which is honestly one of the best additions to the game's story. These are honestly the kind of villains Dragon Quest should be putting out and I had hoped the series would go in more of a direction like this with less black and white purely evil villains and something a bit more interesting and thought provoking like Sorrow. In DQ9, Corvus was an angel who used to be good, but was eventually betrayed and imprisoned by the very humans he once protected, which caused him to become a fallen angel.  So needless to say, I had high expectations after Corvus. The next Dragon Quest game we got was Dragon Quest XI and throughout this adventure, the player's party is constantly hyping up a mysterious villain named Mortigan. For half the game, you don't even know what he looks like or what his motivations are, but then they finally reveal him and all I could think was, yeah of course he looks like that. Another evil guy with horns, great. And his motivation wasn't great either. He was also basically just evil for no reason. They had such a good villain in DQ9 and they went right back to the basics for 11. Mortigan is possibly one of the worst villains in the entire Dragon Quest series. I was so disappointed the moment I saw him. He's terrible. It's like they had an AI make the most generic RPG villain ever. He's just awful. They could have done so much more, but they gave us this guy. I swear if Dragon Quest XII's villain is just another evil wizard with devil horns I'm gonna be so pissed. I'm just hoping they do something interesting with Dragon Quest XII's villain so that players are actually surprised for once. Time will only tell. So anyway, I hope you enjoyed the video. What do you think? Are Dragon Quest villains boring or maybe you like them the way they are? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Thanks for watching and I'll see you next time.
