Okay, welcome to the next talk. I wanted to do mostly a presentation talks this year because last year I had too much slides and I made the experience that I profited a lot from someone showing tips in writer and stuff like that and I use them up to today. So I decided to just show what is in more interest today and what you can do. And maybe you can see some tools and things to process your graphics which you didn't know about. So let's see. So first graphic objects, what application offers what? So I don't know if everybody knows to draw and impress is pretty much, it is the same application. So in principle, all functionality is available in both of them. It's just a question of configuration. So by purpose to reduce the UI for presentation program, a lot of the functionality which is available is hidden in the Impress program, but it's the same binary which is executed. It's just a question of configuration. So it's different with writer and calc, they both use the same internal drawing layer stuff but in different ways. And this ensures that all graphic objects can be copy pasted and inserted without loss of quality. But to work on them geometrically to do changes, to do bigger changes, it's always better to copy past them in draw, mostly draw because draw has the most advanced function set to do stuff with graphic objects. Writer in the meantime has the same fill style line style set like graphic objects. This was a big change and we try to work in the direction to offer this general set everywhere but it's just for fill style. So draw Impress has a lot of advanced features. It's really not very well known but you can do things that our competitors can really not do. You can really deeply change the graphics. You can edit the curves. You can add and subtract objects. You can create new graphics quite nicely. So this functionality is mostly quite hidden. Draw is not used too much, which is sad but maybe you use it more after this. Let's see. And often it's not very intuitive and the reason is that most of the stuff is quite old and didn't age very good over the years. So one question which comes up is do we need something like draw at all because we have external editors and we could just edit externally and insert the graphics and on double click you could edit in an external program but it's a hard question to answer. So we have everything in one system currently and it works pretty well. The question is just should it be offered more intuitively to make it more accessible. So to make it easier to find that stuff. And Björn said two days ago to me it's hard to identify and implement useful new features today because the office has a lot of features even when they are sometimes well hidden and hard to find. So the big advantage is all these features I want to show today are already implemented and realized in the file formats get saved and loaded and all that stuff. So the most work for new features normally is to get it adapted to the file formats to all the external file formats and all that stuff. And this stuff we internally already have is all there so maybe it's worth to just work on the interactions and on the implementations to offer it more intuitively than we would maybe be able to show out and sell old features as new features. This would be really nice. So now I will just, oh, just sit down because the rest will be demonstration work. Oops, back. So let's see, I will go through the examples and of course you can ask questions but it's less breaks we have so more I can show. So I will just start. So for something similar just tips and tricks, object selection and setting. Tricks and tricks, object selection and set order for example, oops. You all know you can click objects to select them. You can use control eight to select all of them. You can use the mouse select to select objects. You know how to travel with tap and control tap. No shift tap. But there's more to it. When you for example select all objects you cannot really see how many are selected. Other are selected and there's always this nice tip on the bottom left where you can see what the selection is made about. And you can use shift and click on some and see now only 13 are selected. And you can move them to see which are selected or you can use the point mode which is triggered by F8 to get the handles for control. So this is a fast trick for seeing what selection you have makes things much more easy in some cases. So often asked question how to select covered objects. So for example this, when you think about the objects behind the selected one are really completely covered. Many people think you have a problem and cannot do that but in principle it's very easy but it's hidden in the alt key. You just need to press the alt key and when you continue clicking you get the next object which is behind the object and with shift alt you can go back into hierarchy. So, so easy but so hard to find. See a range toolbar for example. You can just make a new drawing and I will just create some objects to have something to work with. Oh, it's not shown. Sometimes it's not shown. I'm sorry, the office just doesn't do what I want. Let's do it here with the arrange toolbar. Yeah, it's much, much to hidden. A lot of the stuff is much, much to hidden. So we should really think about UI advancements. So let's take this one that's much better. For example, you can use the arrange toolbar to move your object to the back or move it to the front or completely to the front or also back. But interesting stuff like this button is rarely used but it's very, very helpful.  And also a very mighty feature which helps you to arrange your stuff but also very hard to find unfortunately. Then curve tools, just overviews here. I think it's partially documented but I think the best we could do to make this stuff more well known is really to make some to-do videos or something. I don't really know. I just want to demonstrate and then I hope a lot of people get ideas how to better make this known because we have a lot of interesting stuff which is not really used too much. So for example, curve, oops. Curve, you can go to the curve tool again. It's also possible with this button here up and I'm not sure how many people know but you can completely work with the keyboard with curves. For example, you start with controlled tab and you get the first point selected and controlled tab to the next and stuff like that. Ooh, this bad repaint error. And this even works with the controlled points. So you can completely work on your curves with the keyboard if you want. And you have very, very mighty stuff. You can also just select, for example, two points of the curve with the keyboard and move the two points, all possible. And, yeah. I press control tab and control shift tab and to select the point I'm hovering over. I am using the space key and when you don't want to deselect, currently selected point, you'll use the shift space key. So it's more or less a logical stack of selection but hard to know when you've never seen it. Really, really difficult. You can do stuff like insert points anywhere, anytime. So this is maybe more known. You can, of course, delete points, split the curve. You can change the curve control points from no continuity to C1 and C2 continuity. You can close the stuff. You can, when you select all of the points, you can convert back to a simple polygon with out curves and then you can use the delete point tool. Also very interesting. So you interactively get a snapping hint where it's a position where your point would be deleted. So you can interactively delete your points. So all nice games but very hidden. Yeah, maybe I can give this presentation to him in private again. So maybe, so I can show tips and tricks to everyone which is interested afterwards or the next days, no problem. Yeah, yeah, of course. I'm just giving an overview here because there are so many of these games. So let's just go further. So Collabar, you may have seen this control on the right. This is just a few toolbars. Collabar is a very old tool, more or less, but it has some very interesting functionality. You can, for example, let's take some line widths. You can change the fill style with one click. And the good thing is you can also switch off the fill style with one click. And with the right click in the tool, you can change the line color and switch off the line fill style. So very intuitive and very easy to use. And it goes even further. You can drag and drop the color. So fascinating stuff nobody knows about. So alignment toolbar and distribution. Let's again do some objects. For example, I'm just holding the control key and when you drag objects and hold the control key when you let them down, you get a copy of the object. Did you know that? Good. And then you can just throw some colors on them to have a selection of objects. Very easy. And then let's go to the alignment stuff. I'm sure you know about the alignment is not so unknown. So when you have one object, the alignment is relative to the page. Center left, left, right. When you have more objects, let's take this tool. Then alignment is, of course, relative to the objects. So after you have them aligned vertically too, then they are, of course, on each other. There are more possibilities to align and to lay out your objects. Of course, I'm sure you know all six grid and you can configure it into its options. So this helps a lot already. But for example, when you want to align your objects along an existing object, and it is not directly aligned to the grid, then you can use the helplines. The helplines are very hidden today. They were easier accessible in earlier days, but you just go to the ruler and drag out a helpline and you align it to your object and all other objects will just snap to the helpline. And you can do as many helplines as you want. You can also add a helpline using the menu, but it's much easier to just drag it out from the ruler or just drag it back to the ruler if you don't need it anymore. So also very nice controlled movement using the arrow keys. Much, much underestimated stuff because you see I just selected all objects with shift click. I removed the selection from one to go back to one object. And with the keyboard, you can just travel in defined spaces with shift. You can travel in larger defined spaces. I think it's one centimeter. And with shift control, no, with alt, you move one pixels. Interesting thing about one pixel is this is zoom dependent. You always move one pixel. So you can make very fine alignments dependent on your zoom. So if you have two objects and you really need to fine tune, it's always good to zoom in. And with the alt key, you can do the small movements. If you don't use it, you get the bigger movements. Still, they are not adapted to the zoom stage. So with alt and the cursor keys, you can do a lot of very simple stuff. And for, it's very useful, for example, when you need multiple objects. I already showed a very simple way to get multiple objects. Let's just start with a rectangle. So the easiest way is, of course, copy paste. Then not very intuitively, unfortunately, it's on the same place. So you don't really know that there are two objects, but just use shift and move it. And then you can just control A, control C, control paste, control V, just multiply them. And as you see with the defined fixed space distance travel with the cursor keys, you can quickly arrange a lot of copies of your object. And of course, as I have already shown, you can do the same when you hold the control key when releasing. So very easy to create a lot of objects. And there's another interesting way to do this. It's a duplicate dialog, which is a pretty mighty tool. You can not only duplicate and multiply objects, you can also place them different. You can rotate them. The enlargement is not so useful because it's very hard to predict the results when you don't really know what internally is happening. So I know what internally is happening. I can predict, but it's also one of the cases where it's not very intuitive, but has a lot of potential. Just imagine, I'm sure, you know the insert table tool from the other applications. But what if we would have some interactive thing when one object is selected which works like the insert table and creates your copies? This would be really intuitive. So here I will just make a small example. You can change the fill color, but not the line color. And to have an idea about the placement you need to use to have it aligned or to have it aligned with a little bit space, you can look down here at the size of your object, 180 by 180. So let's take two and we will get copies with a good distance. And you can, of course, repeat this with multiple objects. Also 10 maybe. And this time in X. And let's rotate a little bit and you can quickly create some selections of objects. So this works with all kinds of objects, not only rectangles, you can do whatever you like. You can make funny stuff when you just take some curves with some line sickness and stuff like that and make a lot of copies. You can make funny, just graphic demonstration stuff. And you can use this later to merge all the objects to have more complicated objects and things like that. Very easy in principle. But all well hidden. Sources of geometries to work with. You all know, of course, the built in custom shapes. This is already a pretty good source for geometry, for objects and most of them can be changed somehow, always, always nice. And the good thing with our office is you can then continue to work with these custom shapes. You don't have to keep them in the state of custom shape. You can just convert them to a curve or to a polygon to continue working with them geometrically. So you can see, now I have this all in curve form and can do more than I can do with a yellow button. So it's just a source of geometry which you can use when you see shape in the custom shapes which is close to what you want to create. Just take it, break it to a curve object and then you can freely add it completely free. Another good underestimated source for geometry to work with are the fonts. And interestingly, you surely know about the web fonts, web things and stuff like that. Insert special character, go to web things, use some stuff, insert. And all you need to do is to convert this to curve, make it as big as you need. Andrew, choose the mode you want to work with it. Give it some color and you can use it as it is or change it as you like. So another source is the gallery. The gallery is not too well populated. There could be more but the good thing is you can do your own gallery scenes. For example, I can just, as you have seen, you need to click and wait a little bit. Then you get this drag and drop stuff. This drag and drop mouse handle and then you put it to your gallery if you want to use it later or in another application. So you can just put it back any time. So you can build your own gallery scenes and few people are using it but it's so useful. Of course, drag and drop from the web browser or other programs also working. Okay, I feared I can show only part of it. So convert to curve, polygon, contour, combine, break, object sculpturing. I call this object sculpturing because what you really can do with your office is some incredible stuff like you can just cut out stuff of the object you work on with subtracting it. You can check in point mode that it's done with a very high quality or the curve elements stay. So it's not just converted to a dumb polygon without curve elements. And this allows you to really sculpture with your objects. For example, you can just make yourself a help object like this, take this, subtract it. And then you can just use the edge you produced. Where is it? Shapes, subtract to get a clean round edge. So you can sculpture your geometry as you need. You don't even need to work on the low level curves if you like, you can just use the subtraction stuff and things like that, very mighty. When you want to do it even faster, you can use a free form line, do whatever shape you want, oops, just subtract and you are done. Yeah, so just to give you an overview, there's also some stuff about working with contour geometries. It's about extracting the contour of curves or shapes and reuse them as new shape. And you can iterate this process to get lines and lines and lines which can be very interesting. The rest I will have to show to people who are interested in. Just ask me, there are some more points which are too much now for this short presentation but I hope I could give you an impression what is all available and said it is too hidden and we need to take action to make it more intuitively available because it's made mighty stuff. Okay, thank you. Thank you.


Yeah, my name is Callum McPhee. I am in the Bachelor of Global and International Studies with a specialization in European and Russian studies. Yeah, so my CUROP topic was on Russian intelligence operations and the role of non-state actors in those. So kind of how they are implemented and how they act as a tool in that kind of statecraft environment. Yeah, so CUROP is definitely an eye-opening experience when it came to research. This was the first time I've done research in a non-class format, so other than just for fun, but in an official capacity. So that was definitely a time to make mistakes now instead of later. And I felt like the research process was definitely the focus of the project, and it was definitely a learning experience when it came to aspects of the research processes and letting it flow, kind of following the process itself, establishing a rapport with the supervisor, that sort of thing. Definitely stuff that will help me in the pursuit of a master's degree. So I definitely want to continue education, either that be here or somewhere else. I need to explore options, but that's definitely something that before CUROP I was on 100% sure on, but afterward definitely that's a path that I'd be very interested in pursuing.


What's going on everyone? Sam here with late in sports cards. We've been 22-23, put in any prism, basketball, fast break, five box break, number six random team style.

Bronze, Luke Kinard to 20, 7 of 20 for the Clips. No, Grizzlies, no Clippers, never mind. Devin Booker, Paolo Rookie, and Devin Vassel. What up, Breakbusters? Hell yeah, I love this. I do, I have to say, one of my favorite logos in all minor league baseball is the Portland Seedogs, so far. This is when they were still a Marlins affiliate though. But yeah, Portland Seedogs have a great logo. Even now, like I would, in a heartbeat, rock a Portland Seedogs hat from like the Red Sox now. Cole Anthony, Jabari Smith Jr. on the variation. A.I., Josh, I'm not Rookie. Oh, speaking of hats, how many did you get when you were on Break? Zero, actually. I bought a lot of cards when I was on Break. That was the thing, I bought like $400 worth of cards. We were making a three and a half over under prediction. Alec Burks, really? Anthony Davis, Christian Coloco, oh no, Christian Brown Rookie. No, I bought zero. I think most of us went under, so. Yeah, anybody who bought into the under would have been well, well right. Scotty Barnes-Purple to 75. It's going to be Mark Williams, Rookie Auto for the Clipper, not the Clippers, the Hornets. Nice one there, Hornets. Jabari Walker Rookie and Dwayne Wade. I was thinking like two or three.  No more than three. Yeah, Miles Turner. I don't really have time to do that. That was the only thing. To 150. Palo on the luck of the lottery. To be fair though, Chris Mullin, Kenneth Lofton, and Kelden Johnson. To be fair, there was a mall in Burlington. We went into downtown Burlington in the evening and the mall was closed. So if the mall was open, I would have left a mark in that lids for sure. I've been to Burlington a couple of times. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah, Burlington's dope. It was one of those yellow and green. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. The bars up there are really cool, too. Shade on sharp. Everybody's like cool in Vermont. Yeah, I was way too young for us to go to the bars last time I was in Vermont. We went to one. This one was sweet, Mark Williams. Silver, Michael Porter Jr. Walker, Kessler, Rookie, and Dennis Rodman. It was like an arcade bar, so they had a bunch of older games in it. They had Pac-Man and Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, NBA Jam, bunch of pinball machines. It was really awesome. That's Pink Alex Caruso for the Bulls. There's apparently a place like that in downtown Sanford. Is there actually? Yeah. Ah, Yanis, Chet Holmgren Rookie, and a nose man, Jeng. It's going to do it for the break. Guys, do a quick recap here. Here's your split and your we had a lime-green Dwight Powell to five for the math. We had a Mark Williams auto, Musa Diabate auto, Tai-Tai Washington auto, Caleb Houston auto, and Detliff Shrenk auto. It's going to do it for the break, guys. Thanks again for getting that filled up. Coming up next is


In this video, we will talk about where and how are the maximas formed in a single slit interference and also why does the intensity of the maxima decrease as you go further away from the center. We know that the condition for destructive interference is given by this relation right here. This is a sin theta equals to n lambda, where a is the width of the slit, lambda is the wavelength of the light and theta is the angular position of the minimas formed. Here this theta is the angular position of the first minima. So the first minima, this is formed when n is equals to 1. So theta, which is considered as a very small angle, so we can write theta in place of sin theta. The angular position over here, this is lambda divided by a. Similarly, for second minima, for this minima right here, n would be 2 and the angular position of the second minima, this would be 2 lambda by a. Now the central maxima is formed when there is no part difference among all the light sources from the single slit, theta is zero in that case. The first minima is formed at theta equals to lambda by a. Second is formed at 2 lambda by a. And we can see that there is one maxima between these two minimas. So it is safe to assume that the angular position of this maxima right here, this could be 3 lambda by 2a. This is lambda by a, this is 1.5 lambda by a and this is 2 lambda by a. Let's check if this is right, if this is the angular position of the first maxima. So if we make for the first maxima, this is where the light rays could be meeting at the first maxima. And the part difference between the top source, between the top most source and the bottom most source, this part difference right here, this is, this is 3 lambda, 3 lambda by 2. And we know that the part difference between the top source and the bottom most source was lambda for the first minima, for the second minima it is 2 lambda. So for the first maxima, it should be 3 lambda by 2, we are checking if that really makes sense, if that's right. And I'm calling these sources because in a single slit, all of the points, all of the points in the slit, they act as secondary sources as per Huygens principle, they then interfere and create this pattern. Okay, so the part difference between the top most source and the bottom most source is 3 lambda by 2. So they should destructively interfere, but the top most source will also destructively interfere with the source with which its part difference is lambda by 2. Here the part difference is 3 lambda by 2, but the top most source will destructively interfere even before, even with a source that is in between, because the part difference with that source will be lambda by 2. You will come across 0.5 lambda right, lambda by 2 before reaching 1.5 lambda. So let's try and find where that source could be. We know that for this case, we can write this as a sin theta, the part difference a sin theta is 3 lambda by 2, a sin theta is 3 lambda by 2. Now if we divide both the sides by 3, if we do that, if we do that, this becomes a by 3 sin theta and this will be then equal to, 3 will get cancelled, this will be just equal to lambda by 2. So what this tells us really is that all the sources that are a by 3 distance apart from each other, all the sources that are a by 3 distance apart from each other, the vertical distance of a by 3 from each other, they will have a path difference of lambda by 2 and if they have a path difference of lambda by 2, they should destructively interfere. So let's divide this, let's divide this whole a, this big a into 3 smaller a's. When we do that, this is let's say, like this, so this right here is a by 3, this is a by 3, this is a by 3. So the top most point, fill destructively interfere at a point source over here because a path difference between them, the path difference between them, that will be lambda by 2. This distance right here, this distance, this will be lambda by 2. But this is not true for just these two sources which are a by 3 apart, even a source which is let's say over here, this source and some source that is in the middle section maybe over here, this source is let's say in the middle of the top section and this source is in the middle of the middle section. Even the distance between them will be a by 3, this distance is also a by 3. So that means that even these two sources, even these two sources, the path difference between them, the path difference between them will be lambda by 2. So this distance, the shaded white part, this distance it is lambda by 2. It turns out for all the points in the top section, in the top one-third part of the slate, all the sources in the top one-third part will have a source in the middle one-third part with which they will destructively interfere because the path difference between them will be lambda by 2. If we pick let's say this point and this point right where the middle section ends. Even the distance between them is a by 3 and the path difference would be lambda by 2. Because of the top section, the top section cancels with the middle section. They destructively interfere with each other. So the top two-thirds of the slate, the top two sections, they do not contribute anything. So if there is a maxima over here, it's not coming from these two parts of the slate. But no two sources are destructively interfering within the last one-third part of the slate. Only this part of the slate, only this one-third of the slate contributes to the intensity at a point between the two minimas. So only this part of the slate leads to a maxima between the two minimas. And clearly this is much weaker than the central maximum. Because at the central maximum, the entire slate contributed. Nothing got cancelled from each other. They all constructively interfered. Here only one-third of the slate contributes in phase. So the intensity is much less. And we can say, we can say that maxima, that maximas are formed when the part difference, when the part difference is, this is equal to n plus 1 by 2 into lambda. So when n is equals to 1, A sin theta, this equals 3 lambda by 2. And there will be a maxima that will be the first maxima. When n is equals to 2, you will get, you will get this maxima right here. But why does it peak, why does it peak decrease? What is the intensity of the maxima decrease as you go further away from the center? When we were looking at the first maxima, that was the angular position was 3 lambda by 2A. We divided the slate into three parts. If you look at the second maxima, the angular position here would be, this would be 5 lambda by 2A. So here we will actually divide the slate into five parts. Let's see how that would look like. So let's say here we have, here we have a slate and we divide it in five parts. We divide it, we divide it in five parts. This is one, this is two, three, four and five. So in this case, what happens is all the sources in the top, in the top section of the slate, destructively interfere with all the sources in this part of the slate. Because the part difference between them remains to be as lambda by 2. And we can also see that mathematically, initially, in the top most source and the bottom most source, we could have written A sin theta equal to 5 lambda by 2. But now when we divide the slate into five parts, this becomes A by 5. A by 5 and this 5 goes away. So any two sources which are A by 5 distance apart, they will destructively interfere. And that happens with any source in the top part and any source in this part in the yellow part of the slate. And similarly, that happens with all the sources in this part of the slate and any source, any source in let's say, let's say this part of the slate. Even between them, the distance remains to be as A by 5, which comes out to a part difference of lambda by 2 and a destructively interference. That only leaves the bottom most part of the slate, only this part of the slate. And here, we see only one-fifth of the entire slate contributes or leads to a formation of a maxima on the screen. Only one-fifth of the slate contributes in this case. So the maxima's intensity is much less.


sequel that's coming. For what? War two. Oh yeah, yeah. And who's directing it? The Brahmastra. Yep. You hear they announced both the dates for Brahmastra two and three. Yeah. They're filming them together. They're filming them together. Thank God. And they'll be coming out in what, 2029, 2030, something like that? No, the next one. No, I know. It's 2026 for part two. No, I think it's 2025 and 2027. Nope. Brahmastra two is December of 2026. Brahmastra three is December of 2027. Oh, that's that's from his Instagram page. Well, announce Ranveer is deaf. Hey, welcome back to our YouTube address. It's The Corp. Announce Ranveer is deaf? Dev.  Today, we have a, this is called Indian Grandma Watches Friends. I think we've seen one of these where the Indian grandma, right? We've seen something. We had a while back. An Indian grandma reacted and watches something. I forget what it was. But this is one that obviously, apparently she's watching Friends for the first time. I know you love Friends. I love Friends. I've seen every single episode. My wife loves Friends. I've seen many episodes. So does my wife. I have certain opinions about Friends. But it'd be funny to see a Indian grandma be very interesting if she's never stated before. Yes. And if you've not, fun fact about Friends, not one person of color. You know, they're pretty notorious, right? Like, there was, I mean, there was a couple. As was every show. Yeah, but it's especially, you ever watch Cheers? Yeah. You ever watch Happy Days? But also Laverne and Shirley? How those are much older than Friends as well, but also the fact that Friends is in New York and to see only white people all around. Well, you know what else is unrealistic? Look at the size of their freaking apartments. Yeah. Yeah. How they could all afford it. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Here we go. Hi, guys. So today, Grant and I are reacting to Friends. Friends. We're reacting to Friends. Dosties. Are you ready? Yes. Yes, she's ready. Dostie is Friendship. Dostie is Friends. This is very early. I think it's the pilot. Yeah. Yep. That's Phoebe. Best character on the whole show. Yep. Yeah, my favorite. Femur. India Grandma is thinking about food.  He's so bad. Hey, where's your baby? On the bus. I was only down beading that possible. I can't tell you. I can't tell you. I don't have the same good looks.  How are you doing? How are you doing? How are you doing? I thought we were broken up. We were on a break. Oh. Rachel. Yikes. Oh. Rachel. Yikes. Lakshmi. Lakshmi. Okay. So basically our explanation is that if you have a good friend, you don't need a mirror to see yourself because a friend will tell you exactly who you are. Okay guys, thanks for watching us react to friends. Grandma and I had a lot of fun. I'm thinking about taking a break from her. She's awesome. Yeah. She's awesome. She's a great grandma. She seems like a lot of fun. There's so many different things from friends that you could watch that you would love to see her reaction to. I heard a lot of Indians talk about the thing they know most about American cultures from what they learned from friends. I know there's some who learn English watching friends.  The rage that goes inside me when I see his face. I despise. I've seen episodes from all seasons. Yes. I've seen almost every season of it. I despise Ross. Why?   And he's a bad actor. That's not true. He's not a bad actor. Why does he do almost nothing else outside of friends ever? Actually that's the majority of the cast. I know because theater actors aren't actors.  His theater and that he is without question. Do you know how many bad theaters there are? One of the most underrated comedic actors in television history. Yikes. His comedic sensibilities are phenomenal.  He is garbage. I could show you at least 100 moments.  Where he is ruling the comic timing of scenes. Absolutely killing. At a level that is the same as some of the greatest comedy you've seen in TV sitcom history. Without question. Hard disagree. Hard disagree. The best actor on the entire show is Phoebe. The best character on the entire show is Phoebe. That's my favorite character. There's a reason she's the only one that's really gone. Obviously the other ones, especially Rachel, has been at the forefront of films. I think it's just because she's Rachel. In terms of being an actor, Phoebe is the only one that's really ever done anything. Matthew almost died. Heavily into drugs. His book, by the way, is a really good read. I know they've been in things, but I'm saying consistently and been in good things. You didn't like him in the OJ trial? I felt it was raw. I thought he did a great job of that. I thought he did a great job. The best thing I've ever seen him outside of Friends is Band of Brothers. He's great in that. That's just a great series. If you haven't seen that, it's on HBO. If you haven't seen Band of Brothers, it's HBO quality stuff. It is by considered for many people. It's up there with some of the greatest war things put on film ever is Band of Brothers. They put it up there with Saving Private Ryan and stuff like that. Because you hate Ross so much, then clearly you would be one of the people who would be in the minority who did not like and didn't root for Ross and Rachel. Oh, yeah, never. I thought their relationship was extremely... That is the center of the whole show from start to finish is their relationship. You realize that? And how many people needed and wanted to see what happens with Ross and Rachel's relationship because they rooted for both of them so much. A lot of people are toxic. You're in the minority, my friend. That's fine with me. I am totally fine with that.  In fact, I think the better relationship was always Monica and Chandler by far. The better relationship? Yeah, the more healthy better relationship was Monica and Chandler. Ross and Rachel are extremely toxic. Both of them. I don't know that they were toxic as much as they were. Watch it again. Ross is extremely toxic. He is gross. I like Ross. Do certain things because... Oh, God.   I don't want to say certain things because for those who haven't seen Friends, you need to see it, but let's just say... Who hasn't seen Friends? My concerns as the series was reaching its conclusion, I felt something was coming and I was so scared for sweet Joey. Oh, man, I was so... The way patterns were going, it was looking bleak for Joey. Didn't they have Joey and Ross date for a while? Not Joey and Rachel, sorry. Oh, yeah, but that didn't work. That was a hot minute. That was weird. Anyways, I love this grandma. She's great. Let us know down in the comments if they were on a break.


Welcome with us folks. Thank you for watching tonight's edition. We are looking at the special sauce that we played on Friday and I'm just trying to Make you understand exactly what's happening and why we decided to be in the money for same-day expiration and why it's What I believe to be a safer play than playing something that will be out of the money and look at this play this is the MU that we alerted very very closely to the open and This yellow line that you're looking at is support. So as soon as we break that support we get above it We are on still remaining on the buyer's side because you all know that these guys previous day Right, they bought at this line and it started rising, right? Same thing if we go if we lose this line basically their stop losses from these guys their stop losses will be triggered as soon as They hit under the line. So we're entering the sellers side. So we expect a Downside which is the previous day on Thursday. Now Where you look at the next support now next support is This high, right? It rejected and then it went down. It started There's a wake up and then it popped through so the next line down to me is very close to this line here So it's close to 73. We are 73 23 on this bottom and this is close to 73. So We decided to go 73. It's already in the money And what happens is as soon as we start climbing we go Delta will go Nearly in one-to-one meaning that as soon as we climb for one cent On the ticker the premium will take one cent as well. So this is very close to one-to-one on Delta Meaning that if we buy in this particular case we alerted for I believe 64 cents on the 73s When we alerted here So it's 64 cents. We're already in the money So if it goes down to 73 Support that we're looking at in this vicinity here it still has some value because The option is the right to buy the ticker at your strike price at expiration So if it if it's above 73 At expiration the premium will still have some value. It will not be zero So we're talking about buying something at 64 cents here We still have a day to go before expiration. Well the intro the day we're trading My at my idea was to get to at least this high which is 7490 The idea is Friday makes the money and then you go obviously this top that you're looking at is Where it stopped why because it's the true and real Resistance however, it's I I really like to have the last resistance as a target for Friday because it's safer and We made our money that way. So basically reminding just I'm just rewinding just a little bit to show you We're taking 73. So it's already in the money. Look at where it's 73 23 breaking So it's 73's because we believe that support is at 73 We could even have gone to something like 72 because that's the real support, right? You could have taken 72 However, my expectations were just to go only this high Which is you know, I'm looking for some for profit as well on this play But like I said 72 would have been just as safe even safer However, profit potential would be a little minimized for that. So we're taking something that is in the money already we're looking for a art initial support and Something that even if it gets to the next support line, we're still in the money to remain the Value on the premium. So this was for the emu play we entered here at 64 and we sold on first target at 103 which is Quick and super happy with that. Now, let's go to the next play. We alerted Netflix and let me just Switched to Netflix here and this is what happened Netflix started a day dropping Here it is it's dropping at the yaw at the gate and spy was moving up So we're going against the grain here thinking it's going to bounce But look what it did it went up like this on the first bounce and then it went down This is precisely where my interest was I'll show you exactly why right? Let's get out of here for a second We need to zoom out and what I usually do I'll put my Line right here, you know, it's close to 584 and you look back on the five minute There's nothing much so I zoom out I go to the one hour and I'll see what you know, what sort of interest do we have here? Oh, okay You know, it's very close to this support line See there's a wick down and another wick and then Here is 583 This year, right? There's one here one there Here we have some turbulence area and then it tried it didn't make it and then it popped through and Here we are bouncing on this particular line now the idea is to be taking Is to take a strike that it's in the money and that will remain its value Even if we go down to the next support line. So where's the next support line? Let's look we have here if we go down to next support. Well, we have the 200 DMA, which is 582 We have something You know this top here of this the wick that we have Right on it. This is the top here 581 80 ish and then we have the wick Let me draw it for you right here is this is all on a one-hour chart The wick down there and this is another one on top here. It's close to 580. So if we go 580, this is good support And I mean we're not looking at taking this this play for days It's only for a few minutes, right? And what we're looking at is at the next target. So let's go back to the five minute for that and You know, it's exactly what I mean, and it's the same idea as what we played with the MU just previously. So the idea was to go back to Exactly this here. We are taking this on a double bottom So we entered there and the idea is to rise one-to-one on the play to 580 589 50 which is this here, right? We got there, which is the five and the five minute 200 EMA and Also, you know, it bounce it tried up to this line and then it tank Obviously it's going to do the same thing when it goes up It's going to test the line and then see what it did accumulate it and then it went through But the idea is not to hope the idea is to make some money and move on So this is pretty much what we did. We entered this safe play 580s because we were on 585 or 584 something and we paid 475 Yes, you're paying a little more, but you have value if we were to close here 584 basically you'll be the value will be four Four dollars if we close it for 584. So the risk is minimum If we drop to 580 well, obviously, that's when you'll start losing value, but this double bottom you're paying literally 75 dollars for this this this risk of making The double of that because this is what we made we made precisely 100% on Target 950 and if your target was only a Dollar higher Which would have been you know 575 ish? I don't think it's really worth it But the idea behind this play here was that was what was to make it from this Back to the first resistance line, which was there and this was enough and five dollars to make us go to a Full of 100% play so you understand the thing a Here is Support and you're buying something that if we were to close at this level would still have value in the play I understand it's middle of the day. You only have only a few hours until the end of the day, but This will remain its value if it stays flat and decay will be minimal The idea that we had was we go for a bounce take our money I know some of the members went for 50% 20% 30% doesn't matter the idea is to be green on a safe play and we also did Roku and let me go to Roku here Now we're playing Roku Roku and Netflix together I'm not saying that they always move together But when one in this particular case when one drops it I believe both of them were dropping for a reason and both of them were about to bounce for a reason however, the the chart was a little different and We saw it come down to a certain point and rejected the 50 EMA and it came down to exactly where I started having interest in the play which is Exactly here where it was just I think it was just a little higher than 319, but it was close to 320 and Look at what I was looking at previous day It dropped to a certain line Let me draw that for you It had a great day on Thursday, but look at Wednesday It went it was on on that line in that yellow line support and went up and It dragged its feet all the way down to the line bounce on the line and then start being bullish Now this morning it dropped just a hair under with kind of you know good volume for a Friday and then it stopped on the 50 EMA which is the red line and then it came back down precisely on that same level now This is was that was drawing a well it really drew my attention on the fact that well If this has a good potential of being bullish now this low the day was The stop line However, we were still above 375 so the idea if we take 375 and We drop to this line at expiration It will still be worth on this line, you know in 317 I'm sure even more but where we are entering if if we were to trade flat to the till the end of the day 375s Let's call this 320. They will still be worth to 50, right? Because it's 375 plus 250 The premium is 320 remember it's the right the buy the ticker at your strike at expiration now who would pay 250 for a break even Not a lot of people. However, you know if it's 321 Would you pay more than 320 to get something at 321? Of course you would you'd pay more than that So basically as soon as you start rising above that 320, you know, it starts making money and We were a little bit above the 320 line if I recall because I paid three Precisely and get rid of all this blue here Played the 317 5 Play paid 3 3 24 Pardon me. We played 320 for it So let me zoom in a bit. So the plan was to move back from support Which is close to 320 Up to at least here Which was I believe I called 3 2161 ish and chat so it wasn't as good as other plays but Because my point was we going to go from here To there. So we're are looking at $1 61 Rise on the option that we're buying. So we're playing three. We're buying at 320. We're looking to about to at least sell at you know dollar I'm sorry for 461 will be 81 right more So it's the 320 Plus the rise of dollar 61. This is more or less because it's the Delta's about one to one So the idea is to sell at about 481 We managed to sell a little higher because it went it kept on going and we sell for we sold for 490 So in the end the plan really worked The idea was just to be on a safe side playing something that was on support with value even if we stayed there it wouldn't be a problem and We're playing same-day expiration that you know you go from 320 to 490 with very little movement for pretty good profit so All these three trades were precisely the same idea same-day expiration We're trying to be safe with remaining retaining some of the values of the on the premiums if we were to go south and or sideways and Have a target that is achievable within a range that has a very limited resistance all the way to there and We may we made that sauce that recipe work three times same sauce same recipe and it worked three times So I hope you're learning something. I hope this is clear enough if you have any questions Don't hesitate to DM me if you're new to this please subscribe to the to the Did a channel and you know hit the thumbs up that helps us out. Thank you very much. Have a good one folks


So you just don't understand all polygons. Not a problem.  So if your action is mask, it's gonna mask everything. If your action is crease, it's gonna crease everything. If you have creases on your object already and you wanna remove them, but you just don't wanna spend time manually finding them, just set action to uncrease all polygons and it will uncrease everything automatically in no time. Hope that helps. And as always, hope you have a fantastic day. And I'll see you around.


My name is Cheryl Matsuoka, the executive director of the Hawaii Restaurant Association and the Hawaii Restaurant Association's Educational Foundation. Thank you for joining me here today on Restaurants of Hawaii on the ThinkTech platform. Today we have an exciting show because we're talking about our Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant show coming up in March. And this is an exciting show. We're going to, we have three people on today and we're going to go ahead and have them introduce yourselves. So Kelly, can you please introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about what you do over there at the star? Hi Cheryl, yes. I'm Kelly Nakahara, sales manager with Star Events and Star Advertiser, which is a division of Milwaukee Publications. So we're the Hawaii's largest media company here in Hawaii, so from print to digital online video, you know, obviously so much more. So one of the divisions we have is our Star Events division. So we're your partners for the annual Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant show, which we're really looking forward to as we go into our fourth year this upcoming March. Yes, I was going to cover that and thank you for bringing that up Kelly. So the Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant show is partnered with three organizations, of course the Hawaii Restaurant Association, of course Kelly from Star and also the Hawaii Hotel and lodging, the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association, I'm so sorry, the Hawaii Lodging and Tourism Association, HLTA, our sister association. I also have on the show today Rachel from HMAA. Rachel, please introduce yourself. Hi, thank you so much. I'm excited to be here. So my name is Rachel. I'm with HMAA. I work very closely with Cheryl and the Hawaii Restaurant Association and different partners that we work with and I'm very happy to be here and again be a vendor at the show this year. Yes, I always love it because Rachel, we're always near to each other so I can walk people over and explain to them all the benefits of the HMAA program. So thank you for joining. Yes, yes. And I have Scott and Scott is with Hawaii Cool Water. Scott, do you want to introduce yourself and your company and tell us a little bit about it? Absolutely. Thank you so much. Well, my name is Scott Lichtenstein and I'm the general manager of Hawaiian Cool Water and Coffee Systems Hawaii. We're locally owned and operated and have had the privilege of serving the local business community here for over a decade in water treatment and coffee systems. And I'm honored to be here today. Thank you. And last year I was over at your booth a lot just trying to hydrate. So yes, it's important. The show's mission is to connect all the members of our food service hotel, hospitality industry with businesses to be sure that all the services are providing to our business to keep them flourishing. And many of our people who are participating, the exhibitors, have been doing this for a long time. So, you know, I'm going to tell you my age now. I'm attending these shows now since the 70. And yes, it's always great when you see the industry come together all at one show and find out what's the newest, what's the latest, and what's the greatest, right? And every year you see it evolve. Last year it was very, very obvious that, you know, technology was number one. And yet the basics such as medical provider and water and coffee is such a vital part of our industry. So I have a few questions, everyone that's off with star. I'm going to start off with you. So, can you please outline the specific advantages and opportunities that an exhibitor will experience once they reserve the booth at the Hawaii hotel and restaurant show. Because right now booth sales are open, right? Yep. So booth sales are open. We're running the early bird specialist through the end of December. So obviously hop on now. Well, you can. So as far as advantages and stuff, you know, obviously, yes, absolutely. HTRS is Hawaii's only business to business hospitality show. And it is something where it's an industry only trade show. So that means, you know, we're not just looking for general attendees, we're really looking for those decision makers, be your GMs, your restaurant owners, your chefs to attend to really make it beneficial on both ends. So one as an exhibitor, and then also as an attendee. And obviously, as you know, Hawaii's all about networking. So some great networking also should be had there. And as the official hospitality show for Hawaii, you know, backed by HRA and HLTA, it's been really nice to be able to kind of sit down this year with both parties and kind of really listen into the back end like needs. And to kind of really solve those problems or solve those issues and bring in vendors to help solve those needs. Yes, and it's so important, Kelly, you know, if anything right during the pandemic we didn't get to meet and actually be able to shake hands and meet people.  You're right. This show is industry specific. And that's one of the things that our exhibitors always say, you know, they appreciate that it's just not people just walking off the streets that come in and sample everything. It is specific to our industry. You have to have a business card or paycheck or something that shows that you are part of our industry. And that's what makes this show so much more valuable. Because you can be assured the star gang, they do a great job, you know, at the front desk ensuring that that person is part of our industry. Along with, of course, the restaurants, of course, all the different businesses that support the food service industry. There's also a lot of people that come in from government, local government I see a lot of the Department of Education because as you know they have food service divisions in every school and every facility. Federal I've seen federal at the show so there's a lot of opportunities for exhibitors if they want to meet these types of people walking the aisles in all the different sectors of our community. So number two is my Rachel. Hey, Rachel. So what motivated HMA to be an exhibitor again at the RS show? We do love participating. Anything that we can do with Cheryl, we're always all in. But as Kelly shared, it's a great opportunity for us to network with business owners. A lot of our clients are also at the show as well. So being able to catch up with them and talk more than just the day to day that we might talk to them for their health plans but figuring out what else is going on with the business, what's new and of course seeing the other exhibitors and what they have that's new for the new year as well. Yes. And every year, right, there's always new exhibitors, Rachel, every year. I was like, when did you pop up? Oh, we've been in business for so many years. I'm like, oh my goodness, it's so wonderful to meet you. And that's always what happens at these shows. I make it a point.  Members love to do business with other members and you'd be surprised how many restaurant tours will look for that sign and say, hey, you're an HRA member also. When they come to our booth, as everyone knows, they'll get a little ribbon that they'll attach to their badge that shows that they are an HRA member. And then the board of directors also get a second ribbon. So it's kind of like the Boy Scouts, Kelly. It's hilarious. They all come to the booth because they all want their ribbon and then we take pictures in our booth. It's always a great time. So this show is really, really special and I love it. I just love it because as Rachel said, yeah, I just love being out there and meeting everybody and talking to everyone. So my Scott over there, so what motivated Hawaiian Cool Water and Coffee Systems Hawaii to be an exhibitor at this year's Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant show? Well, thank you. We've participated in the show since its first year. It's a great opportunity for us to support an industry that has been so good to us. It's a great opportunity also for us to see so many clients in one place and to showcase our new products and services that we're offering. Absolutely. Last year your booth was busy too. As I said, I kept coming over just to hydrate. Okay, my friend, it's like everything is going on and it's two full days. Kelly, what are the hours of the show? So it's 9 to 5 March 20th and 21st and then this upcoming year we're moving to the Blazor exhibition hall. That's correct. So as Rachel was saying, it's probably a little bit bigger. It's a different configuration, but we're excited to be at the Blazor.  And so it'll be a nice show. I think parking is going to be easier. So it's going to be a great show. So the question is for Star, how many attendees are we expecting this year? We know the numbers from last year. How many are we expecting this year? So this year, obviously, like kind of looking at all of our other events as well. So that number and attendee growth has really shown. So we're definitely expecting 5,000 plus for this upcoming year. So really kind of excited to see, you know, everyone kind of coming out and rubbing elbows and stuff. Yes, yes. And last year, you know, because of the app and everything, we could keep track of how many people were registered and you can actually see on the app how many people were downloading the app. And Kelly, I do know for a fact, as people were not registered, but they're at the show and I'd go up to them and I'd say, Hey, come on, let's download the app and get you on there. And they're looking at me like, OK, Cheryl, one more app on my phone. But it's always great because that's how you connect. It's like you said, a business to business event. So this is how you find out who is attending the show and who is there and you can message each other. It's a really great app. So HMA. Does the Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant show align with HMA's overall business objectives? Absolutely. So the mission of the Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant show is to connect members of the restaurant and the hospitality industry with businesses that exist to support them. So as a insurance provider in the state of Hawaii, being able to share the benefits that we can offer to their businesses is definitely a wonderful opportunity for us. Yes. And each day, thousands of people will walk by your booth, girl, and each each year, right? We get to see old friends and yet meet new friends, right? That's the exciting part about the show. So Scott, can you elaborate the specific benefits or opportunities that Hawaiian Cool Water Coffee Systems Hawaii sees as being an exhibitor at this specific show? Yeah, it gives us the benefit of not only seeing our clients and prospects in one place, but it also gives us the benefit of sharing our product offerings and collaborating with other vendors to solve problems and provide the best possible service to our local business community. Great. Thank you so much. All right. So, Star, we talked a little bit about the HUVA app. Let's talk about the app again this year. I really like the app. Last year, we changed apps to that app, HUVA, and I really liked it. So you give us some insight as a sneak peek into what we can expect this year. Yep. So thanks, Sheryl. Yes, as you mentioned, we are going to be having the HUVA app again this year. So this year, we're actually looking to incorporate it a little bit more. So really kind of utilizing it to have it be more engaging, right? So with both the vendors and the attendees, because as we know, it's a great platform, great for networking. And so it makes it so much easier to kind of capture that information, you know, and whether it's, you know, someone stopping by your booth and just, you know, maybe you're busy with something, but they still want to capture their information, you know, for a later use to contact them, or maybe you're just coming in as an attendee and looking for information on that business or on a contact. And then as a vendor, like, if you want, you can even gamify it. So that's something we talked about on the back end, right? If you want people to come down to your booth, it's like, it's just as easy as dropping a business card, but maybe easier because it's digital. You can have people come down and maybe, you know, insert a raffle or something like that. So we will have it up and running for use both for the vendors and the attendees by the beginning of February. Nice, nice. That's great, because the show is in March, so perfect. And I have many, many success stories about the Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant Show, but I'm going to ask Rachel on HMAA. So can you share any success stories or positive experiences from the past shows that actually influenced HMAA to participate again as an exhibitor at the show? Absolutely. So we do show up in force. We have our account management team and our sales team that are at our booth and walking around. So, again, being able to see our clients that are part of the industry and catching up with them and being able to continue to build those relationships above and beyond the day to day of managing their health care plan. And also to meet new business owners and let them know what benefits we have to offer them as well. And again, being able to see Cheryl and the team at the Hawaii Restaurant Association. It's always a good time. You leave feeling just very, very happy. Everybody's just walking around full-spirited, especially after the last couple of years that we had. Being able to see everybody in person, it's really just such an amazing experience. And it's like you said, you know, my story is, you know, so many people during the pandemic that we had to talk with about all the things that were going on. And then all of a sudden we get to meet them in person. It's just like, it's so, it's so, it's so wonderful. It's just a great feeling to finally get through it. And now we're all back, you know, to some normalcy and that's great, right? All right, Scott. So share with our members and viewers, which are all the people who are watching this channel. What are some of the products and services you'll be featuring at the Hawaii Hotel and Restaurant Show? Thank you. Well, it's three mainly. Our sparkling water is super hot right now. The Bevy system, which we showed at the last show, is going to be back as part of our sparkling water lineup. The Bevy is amazing. Users can mix and match flavors that are made from natural extracts. No artificial ingredients. They can choose from a dozen, zero and low calorie flavors. And then they can add boosters such as immunity boosters, caffeine, even electrolytes. Sparkling water is finally catching on in the Hawaii market. The Vivero products also line. Line has also been very, very strong interest for our customers for both existing and new. And then also we're going to be doing our coffee equipment and services for hospitality. Coffee Systems Hawaii has been around for over 70 years. And we found that our water clients have a real need for help with our coffee equipment. And the last part is really the water treatment. As I don't know if you heard the expression, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. We've been beating the drum for years about water treatment and feeding the valuable commercial equipment for years. Nice. And I am a sparkling water girl, but it's of course, like you said, zero calories. We just want flavor. So I would definitely be over at your booth again because I'm a sparkling water girl. This question is for star. Are there any particular advertising or promotional strategies that the star advertiser plans to implement in connection with the presentation at the event? Yes, so absolutely. We're going to be using kind of all avenues, including print, digital online videos, social media, you name it. We also just put in add into the hospitality magazine earlier this month to also spread the word on the 2024 show. Additionally, we've listed the show on the national trade show calendar online and we've already seen some traction from that listing with companies inquiring about wanting to be part of the show. So a lot of those even come from like outside of the state. Nice. Nice. I love it. Thank you for doing that because many of, I know of a handful of people who have already reserved the booth, they're flying in from California. So, you know, it's an investment, right? They're paying for their airplane, their hotel, their rental car and the booth and they know that this show is going to be worth it all. And that's why they come back every year. So those are the guys that I normally meet with before the show starts. So this is for HMA. So I know that you have a focus on promoting health and wellness within the hospitality sector. So does participating in the show tie into this focus? Absolutely. So, I mean, we provide above and beyond just the medical and drug and prescription coverage that's available, all of our wellness benefits to our members. And so it's a great opportunity for us to remind them that they have acupuncture, chiropractic massage, naturopathic services. We have our active infant writers so members can go to the gym or they can work out at home if they're not ready to be in the gym. We have our high dot platform that allows members to access a doctor usually within 30 minutes. And so anytime we're able to get in front of our members and remind them of all the benefits that they have. And also to talk to prospective clients about what benefits they could be offering their employees. That's, yeah, do you have such an array of benefits? It always surprises me when people say what? Because they don't realize it, right? And sometimes you have to keep telling them over and over. And everyone's so busy now, it's just, don't forget you also have that benefit. They're like, oh, I forgot. So it's important to keep reminding them, right? So Scott, so does Hawaiian Cool Water and Coffee Systems Hawaii see its participation in the show as continuing the growth and development of the hospitality industry in Hawaii? Absolutely. Participating in the show allows us to collaborate with the other vendors and end users themselves. We invest an incredible amount into product sourcing, training and research and development and we're committed to sharing what we've learned. We feel that there's no other company in Hawaii of our size that is dedicated to our craft. That's great. That's great. Yes. So this question is for Star. How does the Star advertiser plan to engage with event participants and the attendees during the show? So, you know, as mentioned, we will have that app to further networking between the attendees and vendors. And we talked about how the vendors can leverage the app kind of on their own, whether it's like scheduling meetings or encourage other attendees to stop by their booth. On top of that, you know, we want to increase that engagement between the vendors and the attendees. So we're going to continue to do the seminars. So, you know, like Scott said, that growth of the industry and then kind of perpetuating that knowledge between each other. But then we're also going to have something new this year where we're going to be having a live demonstration platform. So for businesses and vendors to leverage and, you know, really showcase their product. That'd be great. That'd be great. So what are you planning on showcasing? Like demonstrations of, is it a secret? Well, we're still finalizing everything. But we're looking for, you know, guys that maybe have, I don't know, whether it's like knives or different, maybe like food demonstrations or, you know, using it as that platform to really kind of talk about maybe the services they provide. That's excellent. It gives everyone the platform. So that's a great idea. Okay, so I'm going to go back now to Hawaiian Cool Water. And no, did I just do the one cool water? I'm so sorry. I'm kind of, I'm into conversation and I'm not following, right? So let me go back. Go ahead. I'm going to let Rachel, HMA, is there anything else that you want to say about the show? I'm just, we're very excited to participate again this year. We're excited to see our clients, our prospects, our friends at the Hawaii Restaurant Association and all of the vendors. Scott, I'm ready for some of that sparkling water. Sign the up. Exactly. Exactly. Go ahead, Scott. Do you have any other comments that you want to make before we close the show? No, I think you guys all covered it great. It goes without saying that we're super excited to be here and to be able to collaborate with everybody. So thank you so much. And I'm super excited to share the sparkling water. Please stop by our booth and let's have some fun. Yes, yes. It's always great because you have a lot of people, right? Traffic brings a lot of traffic because you have great coffee and great drinks at your booth. That's always a great seller. Kelly, is there anything else that you would like to bring up because I did want to bring up last year we had the robots? Yes, absolutely. Last year we did have the robots and, you know, last year's theme was kind of like that technology theme. So it was perfect. Those robots came out and we did have some business connect. So I know there are some businesses that have used them and implemented them in their stores. So that's great. But I did want to mention obviously that booth sales and sponsorships are still available. You know, those early bird specials are good through the end of December. So sign up. And you can actually sign up directly on the website this year. So that's the way we'll tell in restaurantshow.com. So you can kind of do that all digitally, which is nice and simple. Or if you're already working with a rep, you can go that route. You know, and if unfortunately maybe you can't attend as a vendor this year, we still do encourage everyone to come out and attend and pass along the word. Just because I'm sure there's something that everyone can get out of it. Also a quick shout out to UHA, which is our breakfast sponsor for both morning. So, you know, thankfully, they're doing the contents of breakfast and coffee refreshments, not just for vendors, but also attendees. So come get a bite to eat. And then also Hawaii Gas and CNS sales as sponsors as well. Nice. That's so great that they're all being sponsors of this event. We appreciate it very much. And Kelly, so we talk about the robots and technology. The robots were going around the exhibit hall and Rachel was there and she saw them going up and down the aisles right Rachel and they were like that candy on them that lays on them by the end of the show. The robot looked like it was being bogged down, but it just kept totally totally along right and the robots are used not only in the food service industry, but also in the health care industry. Any business that people go back and forth, you know, in a warehouse, there's some cleaning robots, security robots. So it's always great to see the other technology that was very, very. There were so many, so many new technologies, but it is all the apps as restaurants, you know, are trying to figure out ways with the worker shortage, you know, to keep the orders coming in. Apps being able to have an app so that your guests can order their food ahead of time and pay on the app and just come in to pick up was really, really wonderful to see. There's just a lot of excitement in the show, a lot of different types of vendors, and we're looking forward to having a really wonderful show in March. Now, is there anything else everyone that we can, we need to cover before I close down the show. Thank you guys. I think that's everything. Thank you very much. So again, everyone, the Hawaii hotel and restaurant show is going to be at the blaze still this year. It is free to our industry and you must have a business card or a paycheck to represent, I mean, to show that you are representing the industry. Also, boot sales are available right now. And as Kelly mentioned, especially if you're a member of the Hawaii restaurant association, you do have an early bird special. Please sign up early for the best locations and work with them. We also are going to start Kelly, we're going to start having people actually the attendees start downloading the app in February. It'll be all set by, it should be all set by February. So attendees and vendors, and then all the registration for that will be on the app. Yes. Yes. And last year we had people who had questions. So definitely reach out to Cheryl if you have any questions on the app, I will be one of the first on the app with Kelly, so that we can get everybody also on the app. And again, sign up for an exhibit booth, attend the Hawaii hotel and restaurant show. It is, again, a world class show. We have people flying in from different parts of the world to attend this show. And so you want to at least come on down and see who's there. My name is Cheryl Matsuoka, the executive director of the Hawaii Restaurant Association and the Hawaii Restaurant Association Educational Foundation. The Hawaii Restaurant Association is the organization unifying, representing and supporting Hawaii's restaurant and food service industry. Thank you so much. And we'll see you again.
