games like this. And Baratini's taken us to a fourth. If he can win one of the next three points, Baratini with a serve. 40 love. He serves out wide. Raffa gets it back, but hits it out. We're going four. We are going four. And Matteo Baratini from nowhere wins, I think. I think he won 12 of the last 13 points to win that set. Ridiculous from Baratini. Ridiculous. It just changed in an instant. I mean, if you went away and made a coffee, came back. You missed out because that last 10 minutes was crazy. Baratini takes us to a fourth. All right. Greatest of all times, Mount Goat. Thank you, Debbie, and to Cher for becoming members as well. Appreciate that. I didn't forget about you guys. Thank you for that. You want to become a member? It's only a dollar a month. Click the join button down below if you want to be a member. But Baratini, oh my God. He hit nine winners, including two aces in that set. Seven unforced errors. Raffa, six winners, seven errors. So Raffa only hit two errors in the second set. In the third, he hit seven errors, which is a lot more than two. Because seven's more than two. Get it? So there we go. Baratini. And look, it really came out of nowhere because Baratini was like, it was just plotting along. And we just thought, okay, Nadal's going to win. You know, straight sets. Let's just get ready for the next match. But then all of a sudden, Baratini hits that around the net post-shot and that made the difference. It made the difference. Anyone want some popcorn? Yes, Greg, over here, mate. I'll take some. I'll take a large. Thanks, mate. Appreciate it. You're giving out popcorn. I'll take some. I'll take some. Raffa looks tired. Nah, he doesn't look tired. Baratini just lifted. It was inspired, Baratini. Raffa fans, don't stress. That had nothing to do with Raffa looking tired. It was all Baratini just lifting in that one. That was Baratini. All Baratini just took over that third set. That's it. Popcorn ready. Again for Nadal, tired after two sets. Again, it's not, Raffa's not tired. It's Baratini who stole that set. He played some ridiculous shots to take that set. It's nothing to do with Raffa. That was all Baratini. You got to credit the man who won that set because it was all Baratini. Raffa was not tired. Baratini just slapped him off the court in the second half of that set. How many black shirts do I own? More than most. Let's get back to it. 6-3. Third set went to Baratini. Raffa serving first in the fourth. I did not think we're going to be getting to this stage. I thought Baratini might be able to steal the set in a tie break, but he was able to do better than that. Steal the set. 6-3. Breaks Raffa for the first time in his history. Second serve now, Raffa. Goes into the back end from Baratini. A point out from Baratini. Sorry, to the back end of Raffa, and then Baratini goes bang. Whoops. Unbelievable. There we go. Slaps that for a win up. Nice shot there from Baratini. First point of the fourth. Love 15. Raffa with a serve. Out wide is an ace. That's a goat serve. 15-all. 15-all. Only 171, but the lefty angle. That's what beat Baratini out wide. 15-all. Raffa with a serve. Down the tee to the back end of Baratini, back end of Raffa. Into the four end of Baratini. Into the back end of Raffa. Back end of Baratini. That's a better shot. Raffa gets it. Back end of Baratini down the line. And Baratini's starting to line out of his back ends. Where the hell was that coming from? Baratini with a jumping back end winner. I'm sorry, what? I didn't realize he had that shot. Man. A jumping one-legged backhand. Baratini is on another level right now.  Serve out wide at the back end of Baratini. Back end out from Raffa. Into the four end of Baratini. Raffa with a four end of his own. Sliced over Baratini. Down the line. Raffa runs right into forehand. Into the four end of Baratini. Back end slash Raffa is going to be a drop shot. Baratini gets it. Comes to the net, but it hits a wide. And Raffa survives. I didn't think I'd be saying that today. Raffa survives. 30-all. Baratini knows how he had that point. He had that point. Man, this match has just come alive. And Raffa knows it. He's pumping his fist, flexing those biceps. 30-all. Big point here. Big, big point. Serve down to the back end of Baratini. That goes in the net. Good serve, Raffa. Very good serve, Raffa. It's a goat thing. Serving big serves at 30-all. That's a goat thing. It's not too bad. I feel like ordering takeout from the Olive Garden. Thank you, Wayne. I have no idea what that is, but thank you. Is that some like... I don't know. Is that some like Italian place? Thanks to the five. Appreciate it, Wayne. As we get a serve now, Raffa. Into the slice of Baratini. Four now, Raffa. Down the line. Baratini puts up the lob. Raffa with a smash. Puts it down. Baratini gets his right. Raffa with a four. Right now, open court. Baratini with another lob. It's up. It's up. It's in. Raffa with a forehand. Baratini back on the baseline and hits it in the net. Raffa survives the game, and he knows it. He's fired up, Raffa. As he skips over the lines because he's not allowed to touch the lines for whatever reason. One love. Raffa fourth set. Massive game for Raffa there. That was dangerous. That was dangerous. Olive Garden is real Italian cuisine, okay? Fair enough. It's an Italian place for everyone is a family. Oh, I never know. I never, I didn't know I've never been there. We don't have them here. So I don't know. Good breadsticks. What's a breadstick? You mean like garlic bread? Is that what a breadstick is? What happened to Raffa? Again, look, nothing happened to Raffa. Baratini lifted. Nothing happened to Raffa. Raffa didn't play his best tennis in the third set. He made some more errors. But Baratini took it to another level. It's all Baratini in the last five games. It's been all Baratini. One love. Fourth set here for Raffa. Baratini serving. He serves it in the net. Second serve. Goes now into the back end of Raffa. Slides their Baratini into the forehand of Raffa. Who goes down the line, Baratini gets it. Backhand of Raffa goes into the backhand of Baratini. Into the backhand of Raffa. Baratini with the forehand now to the backhand of Raffa. Baratini with another forehand to the Raffa backhand. And Raffa hits it wide. Baratini's starting to figure it out. He's starting to figure out what to do with that forehand. Where to hit it? 15 love. 15 love. Again, thank you everyone who's subscribing tonight. Well, today, I'm just glad that this match has been able to not be one-sided. Hopefully we... I mean, I'd love five sets, but I'm happy with the four sets if that's all we get. And I'm glad Baratini is, you know, showing us something. As he hits a drop shot. Oh, Baratini with a little, little bit of touching for Ness at the net. 30 love. I'm just glad that we didn't get the straight sets routine. And that we got at least to get to four sets in this semi-final. We deserve four sets.  Drubbing. And he's played some inspired tennis in the last 20 minutes. As he serves down the team, ace. And the adrenaline's still pumping for Baratini. 40 love. Thank you for following us on Twitch. Appreciate it. Two hours and 23 minutes played. As Baratini serves a fault. Second serve now. Goes into the back end of Rafa and Rafa hits it long. Baratini, great body serve. One game all in the fourth. Rafa's going to have to hit some great shots. He's going to have to lift Rafa. He hasn't had to for the match. He's just been pretty, pretty chill. Rafa has been able to just do the same thing. Hit it to the back end, but this time Baratini's taking over. Rafa's going to lift. So let me know in the chat. Who is winning this set? Who do you think is winning this set? Do you think Rafa's going to get it done? Or do you think Baratini is going to make it a five setter? Let me know in the chat. I want to know what you guys think. What do you think Rafa or Baratini in this fourth? A lot of people saying, a lot of people saying Matteo. Matteo this set. If you're saying Rafa, of course, Rafa fans in the house as he gets the first point here, 15 love. Baratini comes back and wins. Wow. Okay. All right. Few people saying Rafa. A lot of Baratini's though. A lot of people hopeful. A lot of Baratini fans. Can I answer that after the fifth game? Yep. Bryce, you can answer that after the fifth game. If you want. This set is definitely Baratini's. Okay. A lot of people saying Rafa though. As Rafa gets the 30 love. What I think might happen is if Rafa gets his hold serve, I reckon Rafa is going to win this in this fourth set. I think he'll break Baratini to win at the end of this fourth set. I think it'll be like 6-4. But because I think Baratini's his level right now is so like he's at such a good level. I don't think he can maintain it for the entire set. He's played like this for about 20 minutes now and it's either Rafa is going to lift to that level or Baratini's level will drop. And I feel like that's going to happen in the end of this set. One of those two things. And Rafa is going to steal the set at the end. But hey, I've been wrong plenty of times. We had a volley there from Rafa and that is a great shot from Rafa. Man, what a volley. 40 love. And that's what I mean. Shots like that. Rafa hasn't needed to hit today and he might just pull it out in this one. Beautiful half or not even a half volley. That was a full volley. Angled volley cross court. Great shot. 40 love. Second serve as Rafa serves down the tee to the 400 Baratini. That goes in there. Rafa 2-1 in the fourth set. Questions again. That's my question.  Serving first as a Rafa advantage Rafa. Exactly. Yeah, exactly. Update the scoreboard. It's the scoreboard is updated. What are you talking about? Update the scoreboard. What are you talking about? What are you looking at? This is the stats. This is the scoreboard. Scoreboard is here. Scoreboard is updated. I don't know what you're going on about. What are you saying? New color. Oh, you want a new color scoreboard? Is that what you're saying? You don't like the color? What do you want to change the color of the scoreboard? All you got to do is donate. So, Shapovala really impressed me better than Baratini. Now, I think Baratini is more consistent than Shapo. But yeah, I don't think update the scoreboard. What are you talking about? Am I blind? The scoreboard is updated, right, everybody? Like, I'm not losing my eye. Like, it's 2-1 in the fourth, right? It's updated, right? Maybe I'm wrong. You tell me in the chat. It's on point, right? It's not me. I'm not losing my mind, am I? Am I losing my mind? I've already lost my mind. I lost my mind years ago, all right?  He's not watching live. Yeah, I'm watching a replay. This actually happened five days ago when I'm watching the replay. Anyways, Baratini serves. Spoiler alert, the dial wins. 2-1, fourth set. Serving out of the forehand of Rafa. Backhand goes in from Baratini to the forehand of Rafa. Into the backhand of Baratini. Backhand slides down from Rafa, going to the forehand. Oh, Baratini. Rafa, the parsing shot, but it's out. And Baratini, 15-love. 15-love. Baratini serving. And he serves in the net. Second serve. Now, the benefit of serving first in a set like this, it means that Rafa can take a crack at the return of Baratini and not really have to worry, because even if he loses the game, he's still even. As Baratini hits a backhand winner. Wow. Baratini with a lovely shot there. He's hit some really good backhands in the last couple of games. 30-love. Why does Marfa hit Baratini's forehands? Yeah, that's a dangerous tactic. Don't mess with that forehand. Don't mess with that forehand. 30-love. A fault from Baratini as the ball kid almost does a front flip. Trying to retrieve that ball. Served down to the forehand of Rafa, and Rafa hits a wide. Baratini, 40-love. A Baratini on serve has been ridiculous in the last couple of games. I mean, he's barely lost a point as Baratini. He's been awesome. He's been absolutely awesome. 40-love as he serves now Baratini to level things up to a piece in the fourth. Served now Baratini goes in the front of Rafa, and Rafa slaps it long. Rafa's looking a little flat. It doesn't seem like he's moving his feet as fast, but I think it's more because Baratini is... has been playing such a high level that Rafa's kind of... He's kind of in a little bit of shock, I think, Rafa, that Baratini is playing so well. And Rafa just needs to...  It's been storms all day, but he needs to weather the Baratini's storm here. He knows Baratini can't maintain this level. Otherwise, he would have won a couple of sets already. So Rafa just needs to hold serve. That's all that needs to do. Keeps holding serve. Baratini might blink towards the end of the set. Or they'll play a tie break. I mean, that's how it works, right?  Maybe that's where we're going. That'd be awesome, though. Tie break in the fourth. I like that. Shoot out. Rafa with a second serve to the 400 Baratini. Backhand out, Rafa. Down the line's a winner. Good shot. 15, love. Lovely shot from Rafa. Two hours and 30 minutes played in this one. Don't forget, we're going to be watching the second semi-final. That starts in two hours time. We'll be live before then. So about, we might actually be live straight after this match. If this match goes five, we'll be watching the second semi-final between Daniel Medvedev and Stephanos Siddi-Pass, the two best friends that anybody could have. Their besties, don't tell me otherwise. They're basically brothers. That's how close they are. 15, love. There's been a serving out of the backhand of Baratini. Four and a from Rafa. Into the backhand of Baratini. Into the four and a from Rafa. Baratini with the backhand slice goes in to the front of Rafa. Baratini with the forehand now to the backhand of Rafa. We had another four and a from Baratini. Rafa on the stretch gets it, but he goes long. Again, Rafa struggling a little bit when the Baratini forehand goes in. 15, all. Rafa just, whenever he goes to that Baratini forehand, maybe it's because Baratini's hitting it so good now. It just seems like Rafa's struggling to handle the power. 15, all. Craig Tyler, by the way, sitting on the side of the court. It's a benefit of being the director of the show and open. You get the best seats. Serve down the tee, the backhand of Baratini. Four and a Rafa down the line to the slice of Baratini. And Rafa with the Vamos. We haven't heard that before. Unbelievable. Finally, with a little bit of noise from Rafa. 30-15. Thanks for following us over on Twitch. And Baratini just stabbing at that one. Rafa's definitely feeling a little bit more on edge in this set. After the way things have gone in the last couple of sets. Well, in the last set and a half, I should say. Return now goes out from Baratini. 40-15, Rafa. To take back the lead, stay in front on serve. And Baratini just getting a little agitated because he knows he's in this. He knows he's in this. Just going to know that he couldn't get the return. 40-15. Rafa to get to 3-2. Serve out wide to the front of Baratini. That goes in the net. Rafa 3-2 stays in front in this fourth set. And that's what he has to do. That's what he has to do. All right. By the way, if you're new to the channel, don't forget to subscribe. Don't forget to like the video.

We've had a great start for Rafa. Great start from Rafa, I should say. Very clinical from Rafa at the start. But then Baratini in the last couple of games and last probably 30 minutes to 45 minutes has really stepped up, really stepped up. But can he maintain this level? Baratini serves the 4-0 Rafa, 4-0 Baratini into the 4-0 Rafa just gets it, but it goes long. Baratini continues to drop the hammer. Unbelievable. Unbelievable, I don't care about what they were saying. Love the energy. Thank you, mama, do appreciate it. Thanks for the two. You know that you're going to get energy every time you come to this stream. You know that. Energy, same energy no matter who's playing. He's got a 4-0 Rafa on the stretch, 4-0 Baratini into the back end of Rafa. Rafa hits it in the net. Baratini, 30-0. Baratini hasn't lost many points on serve for a long time. Long, long time. 30-0 as Baratini serves. A let, Rafa's like...  Why are you calling let? 30-0, second serve. Sorry, first serve, second first serve. Down the tier, the 4-0 Rafa, that goes in the net. Baratini, again, great serving, 40 love. This is what he had to do in the start of the match. Baratini is playing the game that after the first set we were saying, this is the only way he can come back. And he's finally doing it, but is it a little bit too late? Is it too late? Or is Baratini able to make it into a fifth somehow? As he serves that wide, an ace, bang. Three games all in the fourth. But Baratini is doing the things we said he had to do at the start. Serve well, backhand down the line, be aggressive. He didn't do it for the first two sets. But he's doing it now and... I mean, the way we've seen the last couple of days go, sometimes it doesn't really matter if you're down two sets of love. It still could be a crazy match. And Baratini... Even though he hasn't won many times from two sets of love down, he's no stranger to coming back from that deficit. In fact, I find out how many times he's actually come back from two sets down to make a fifth set, even if he hasn't won them. That'd be a good stat. Rafa to serve. Into the backhand of Baratini. Four net from Rafa. Into the backhand of Baratini. Rafa again with... Oh, hits a wide. Love 15. Love 15. Rafa just hits it wide. Close call. Just not enough topspin. By the way, Baratini's five-set record is very good. If we'll get to a fifth, it is very good. He's only come back from two sets of love down twice to force a fifth. As Rafa hits a great serve, Baratini hits it wide. 15-all. He did it against Jack Sock, of course, at Wimbledon. We talked about that one already. But he's also done it against Tennis Sandgren in 2020 at this tournament. He came back from two sets of love down, but he lost the fifth. So two times in his career, he's forced a fifth set from two sets down. But he's never done it against a guy like this. As we had a four-in from Rafa that goes wide. Man, Rafa's forehand is really starting to miss. And it's 15-thirty. He's got to be careful here, Rafa. His level's dropped. Maybe due to the pressure of Baratini. That might be the reason why he's dropped the level, Rafa. Because he's playing a little bit more nervous because Baratini's come to play. 15-thirty. Rafa with a serve. Out wide at the back end of Baratini. Four-in from Rafa down the line. Baratini with a four-in of his own. Back in there, Rafa, into the four-in of Baratini who hits it in the net. He went down the line. That was the play, but couldn't execute. Couldn't execute. 30-all. And it's still time. Still a chance, I should say, for Baratini to get another break point. Let's talk about Rafa's, Rafa blowing the lead. There's no nice way to say it. As he serves an ace, that's a Rafa doing a Rafa thing. Rafa doing Rafa things. That is exactly what goats do. Ace at 30-all. That is the play. It's a goat thing. We wouldn't understand. We wouldn't understand. 40-thirty. Rafa serving now to get to 4-3. Stay in front. He serves out wide. Another good serve. Volley net from Rafa. Baratini with a passing shot, but it's in the net. And Rafa survives. That was a big game from Rafa. And he survives 4-3. Fourth set. Now Rafa, if we do get this far, we'll talk about it, but if we do get this far, Rafa in a fifth set after leading two sets of love is five wins, three losses. The last time that he was up two sets of love before this event, that he was up two sets of love and gave away the lead, was last year's, sorry, and then end up winning, was at the US Open 2019. He's up two sets of love against Medvedev in the final. Medvedev on the next two sets. Rafa won the final set. But of course, he came back, the same thing happened against Shapo in the last round. Two sets up, lost the next two, had to battle the fifth. So he's done it a few times in his career. He's actually done it eight times where he's lost the lead over his career. But only three times has he been beaten in two sets of love up. Hope you like that stat. Okay, Baratini. Yeah, that was a big opportunity for Baratini. He had some chances and made some errors. Could have easily won that game. Maybe not easily, but he could have won that game. Nadal just needs to win the first point of Baratini's serve. Yeah, look, this match could be over very, very quickly. Very, very quickly. This could be over very early. If Baratini gets broken here, Rafa serves for the match. That's as simple as that. So this could be very, very, very near over. But then again, we might be going to a fifth and we still have another hour and a half. So massive game here for Baratini. Is he going to be able to keep that level he's had for the last few games? And then he hits an ace. Bang, Rafa's like, what? That wasn't in. Hawkeye's never wrong. 15 love, Baratini, that's what he needed. First serve, free point. 15 love, Baratini with a serve again. It's a fault this time. Second serve, Baratini. Second serve into the front of Rafa. Backhand now, Baratini into the front of Rafa, but it goes long for Baratini. 15 all. Is this the place where Baratini is going to be under pressure most because it's that time where Rafa usually goes for the break. This is when the champions try and win games and try and get the break at about 4-3, 4 all in the set, middle of the set. They usually try and win those games, breaking those games. Baratini with a good serve, Rafa returns. 4 now, Baratini inside out. Good shot, Rafa gets it. 4 now, Baratini down the line. Rafa's going to get that with the backhand. Volley Baratini is in! Oh, Baratini! Very lucky with the Volley. I thought he pushed it wide, but he just got it on the line. Rafa couldn't get it. 30-15. Even he was like jumping up to be like, whoa. Just got it. Just got it, Baratini. 30-15. Baratini serves to the backhand of Rafa into the forehand of Baratini. 4 now from Rafa down the line to the forehand of Baratini into the forehand of Rafa. Baratini with the backhand now goes into the forehand of Rafa and Rafa hits a winner. Oh! Uh-oh! Here he comes. The ball's starting to charge. 30-all. As soon as Baratini hit that first backhand, you just knew Rafa was going to start dropping that forehand. And this is a massive point. Rafa is six points away from the final, by the way. Baratini needs a first serve. And he gets it. Rafa returns. 4 now Baratini in the net! Oh, no! Baratini misses his go-to shot. The hammer... The hammer is broken. He drops it in the net. And Rafa gets a break point. Five points away from the final. Man, Baratini's been so good. Until now, this game, he got the first serve as well. And the forehand. Break point Rafa. To take the lead in the fourth and then serve for the match as Baratini serves. Out wide, but it's a fault. Cut by a first serve! Second serve. Baratini goes into the four and a wrap. Now, Baratini goes into the backhand of Rafa. Into the four and a baratini. Rafa with a backhand now on the stretch. Baratini in control as he goes again to the backhand of Rafa. Rafa goes to the backhand of Baratini with a slice. Rafa forehand, now Rafa's in control as he hits a backhand down the line. Baratini with the backhand the same as we had a four-hand to forehand rally now. Slice from Baratini. Mixing it up, Rafa with the forehand again. Baratini in trouble.  Goes in the four and a Baratini again to the slice. Now, Rafa, Baratini takes over this time as we had a slice there from Raffa to the point of Baratini, again to the back end of Raffa. And that goes out from Raffa. Baratini holds strong. That was such a back and forth rally. And I don't mean that like as a pun. Baratini was on top of the rally for some parts, then Raffa, then Baratini. And it was Raffa who missed the back end in the end. Whoa. You're just waiting for Raffa to take over though, weren't you? It was just waiting for Raffa to take over. But he never did. Baratini survives. Baratini survives. And Carlos Moyer, no, he slaps. He slaps the railing there, Carlos Moyer. He knows. He knows. Back to Deuce. And then Baratini serves another fault. Second serve. Don't forget to subscribe. Haven't already. We'll be back for the second semi. In a few hours, in about an hour. There's been a back end now from Raffa into the 400 Baratini, and that goes in the net. Baratini's forehand and his level has dropped. Big time. Big time. His level. And mainly that weapon, the forehand's a weapon. And also the first serve's gone missing. So this game has been one of the worst games Baratini's played since maybe the start of the third. And another break point. This is a baby match point. The way Raffa's been playing today, for the most part, you don't think he's getting broken. As Baratini serves another fault. That serve has gone missing. Second serve, Baratini. He serves to the 400 Raffa. Forehand from Baratini, into the back end of Raffa. Into the 400 Baratini. Back end now, Raffa goes again to the 400 Baratini. Raffa with the back end down the line. Baratini gets the back end to the 400 Raffa now. Baratini with another back end goes, ooh, just in to the back end of Raffa. And then the 400 Baratini's in the net. And Raffa breaks. Raffa breaks. And now he's serving for the final. You just felt it was coming. The game that Baratini was gonna drop his level and Raffa was gonna lift. And that was the game. And now Raffa Nadal is serving for another final in Australia. His sixth Australian open final. He's only won it once. He's only ever won it once. That was over 10 years ago. But at least this time he won't be playing a goat in the final. Djokovic, Federer, they ain't going to the final. He's only ever lost to one guy other than those guys. And that was Stan the Man. So he's got a very good chance of winning that final. His experienced level is through the roof compared to those other guys. Serving for the match. To take this one in four. And he serves a fault. Second serve. Taking the time here Raffa. Second serve. Raffa. Ooh, double faults. He doubled faults. Love 15. Two hours, 52 minutes played. Again, big shout to everyone who's here. Don't forget to subscribe. We will be watching the winner of this match in the final in a couple of days' time. Of course, we've got the men's second semifinal coming up in about one hour. If this match is over now, it'll be in one hour's time or about an hour and a half. Of course, the women's final tomorrow night. We've got the doubles for the men tomorrow with King Kok. And of course, the men's final on Sunday is Serving Volley's. Serve Volley from Raffa, 15-all. Caught Baratini by surprise. He hit the return and just went, what are you doing? What are you doing? 15-all. Don't forget at the end of this match we are doing a giveaway as well. We're gonna give away a Raffa shirt. So stick around for that if you want a free t-shirt. Raffa inspired. Three points away now Raffa. Served down to the back end of Baratini. Goes into the back end of Raffa. Foyner Baratini into the back end of Raffa. To the Foyner Baratini. Back in our Raffa again, to the Foyner of Baratini. And Baratini hits it wide and he screams Baratini at his coach. It's that forehand. In the last three games, Baratini served and his forehand have just disappeared. They were unstoppable for the best part of 45 minutes in the third and fourth sets. But in this game, in the last game, they're being the ones that have let him down. Those two shots. As someone just screams as Raffa's about to serve. I mean, Jesus, mate. Have another beer outside where no one can hear you. 30-15. Raffa, two points away from the final. He serves out wide at the back end of Baratini. Back in our Raffa. Into the Foyner Baratini. Into the back end of Raffa. Baratini with a Foyner again. To the back end of Raffa. Baratini on the stretch again. Raffa in control of his point. Baratini's a slice. Foyner, Raffa. Into the back end of Baratini. And Baratini dumps it in the net and Raffa gets a match point. Two match points for Raffa Nadal to take this in four and book his spot into the final and then make it one win away from 21 slams. History on the line. Two hours 54 and it's match point. Raffa. One serve away from another Australian open final. He serves. Down the tee. Oh, it's a fault. Almost an ace. Second serve. Taking his time here Raffa. Second serve. He's sweating a lot Raffa. And he serves now. Down the middle to the back end of Baratini. Foyner Raffa. Into the back end of Baratini. Again to the Foyner Raffa. Back end of Baratini on the stretch. Raffa down the line. Baratini in big trouble as we had a back end now Raffa down the line again to the slice of Baratini. Raffa with a forehand. Into the back end of Baratini down the middle. Oh, it goes in. Foyner Raffa. Baratini with a forehand down the line. Goes into the forehand again of Raffa. Back end of Baratini in the net. Raffa's going to the final. Raffa is going to the final for a sixth time and doesn't he love it? Doesn't he love it? Raffa Nadal is gonna be playing for history in 48 hours. 21 slams. Is one win away. Man, history is on the line. And he knows that was a big game and that was a big set because Baratini was charging back and he already remembered what happened the other day when he played Shapo and Shapo came back from the dead. He held Baratini off in the end. Man, oh man. And history is one win away. Back to back tournaments now that we've had one match to decide history. We're very lucky as tennis fans. We are very, very lucky. 21 is one win away, everybody. 21 is one win away. Now, Mateo Baratini. He's got to play the way he did in the fourth set at the start of the match. It would have been a much more interesting match had he had started the way that he played in that third set. It took him too long to start. But hey, Baratini, credit to him. No, Djokovic, he only loses to the goats at slams. Baratini, if he gets a good draw and he avoids the goats, who knows where, how far he can go. Who knows how far he can go. But as soon as he rocks up against Nadal or Djokovic, I mean, it's all over.  Too little, too late for Baratini. Hopefully he can come back in the next couple of tournaments and, you know, Wimbledon, I think, is his best chance to steal a slam. I think if he plays Raffer on grass, Baratini might get the win. Okay, everybody, you know what time it is, so what we're gonna do, let me just sort things out. So we're gonna give away a Raffer shirt, because there's a lot of Raffer fans here. In order for you to get the Raffer shirt, you have to be subscribed.

So there's three different ones you get to choose because you might not want the one that says Raffer 20 because that doesn't make sense, right? If he wins. But then again, maybe you do want that shirt because if he wins, that shirt will get, that shirt will disappear. So you own a little bit of tennis talk history. Those shirts will disappear after the final if he wins. If he doesn't win, then he'll stay. So Raffer is the word. If you wanna join the giveaway, Raffer is the word. Gotta type Raffer. All you gotta type is Raffer. Just the word Raffer. We're gonna give it another couple of minutes so keep typing. Keep typing here as they talk to Raffer now. Jim's talking to Raffer, let's have a listen. So Raffer's saying that the next day after the Chapo match, he felt a lot better than what he thought. So that's where the dehydration wasn't present. Look, Raffer looked great today. He didn't have any problems with anything. So yeah, type Raffer. If you wanna be a part of this giveaway, type Raffer in the chat. That's the only way you can be a part of this. You can type Raffer in the chat. You type it multiple times. It won't give you multiple entries, but you can try if you want. All you gotta type is once, but hey, you can try it twice if you want. You can try it twice if you want. We're gonna go through that after Raffer stops speaking. So about two minutes away. We're gonna give it away. Last chance, R-A-F-A. All right, so this is what Jim's saying that the conditions are a lot different from the other day. It's a lot cooler today because of the roof being shut. And what about the conditions? Like, would they affect you at all? And he said, and Raffer says, and with the roof closed, was that something that you were happy with or would you prefer to play outside? And then Raffer says, look, looks amazing here, like this closed with the amazing ground that like this even more noisy. So enjoy it a lot more. A lot that must be enough. So it's a lot louder when the roof is closed. Keep writing the word Raffer if you wanna be a part of the giveaway. Then he says, I thought you knew before the match that the roof was going to close, but you know what, one and a half, one month and a half, I didn't know if I would be able to play tennis. So it doesn't matter if it's outside or inside. Just wanted to enjoy and try my best. And let's talk about the final. And then Jim says, let's talk about the final. Just six Australian Open final. Almost every time you do something, it's historical these days. You have a chance to do an amazing thing. You could win the Australian Open for the second time. That would make you the fourth man in history to win all the majors at least twice. Very special, but you're the only man to have 21 major titles. How about that moment on Sunday? Again, thank you everybody. If you wanna be a part of the giveaway, Raffer, we're gonna after this, after he speaks Raffer, we're gonna give away a shirt. So Raffer in the chat, if you wanna be a part of the giveaway, write Raffer in the chat. All right, so he says here about getting 21 slams potentially. He writes, for me, it's all about the Australian Open more than anything else. It's just been an amazing event. So as said a couple of days ago, and I have been a little bit unlucky during my career in injuries in our times, I played amazing finals with Nobak in 2012 and Roger in 2017. I was close a couple of times. I feel very lucky that I won this once in my career in 2009 and thought, never I would have another chance in 2022. So just to enjoy the victory today and then after tomorrow, why not try my best? And then Jim says, congratulations, we look forward to seeing you on Sunday to go for history, Raffer Nadal. Okay, one minute left. Actually no, you know what, 30 seconds left. 30 seconds left, you wanna be a part of this giveaway? You gotta write Raffer in the chat to be a part of this giveaway.

Yeah, it's actually raining again in the city now. So my house has stopped raining for now, but it's gonna rain again in about 20 minutes.  So the rain is constant. Are we doing a double stream final? Yes, yes we are. We're streaming the doubles final tomorrow between Mad Max and King cock. So yeah, we'll be doing the doubles final tomorrow as well. Am I also a programmer? No, I'm just a tennis coach. Who's my NRL team? I guess Melbourne Storm because I'm from Melbourne. I don't follow the NRL. Raffle would prefer City Pass, correct? Yes, Diego, Raffle would prefer City Pass on a hardcore, I would say. Oh, thank you Debbie. That's so kind. Thank you so much for buying a shirt. That's awesome. Thank you. By the way, buying those shirts does support the channel. So, but you also get something for supporting the channel. So if you wanna support the channel and also get something for it, buy a shirt.

That's already happened. They already played that a couple of days ago, yeah. And Dee Dee DeGroote was the winner who's like the goad of women's... Well, she's the greatest player right now in women's wheelchair tennis. She won all slams last year in a gold medal. So golden grand slam for her last year. Do you have a group post where all the subscribers can sign a birthday message for you? No, Lyle. I didn't know that was gonna be a thing. We'll probably be streaming for that day anyway. So I guess you can just bring those to... If you wanna say happy birthday to me when my birthday is, then maybe. CT, I have an idea. Maybe we'll do that. Yep, if they win the championship, then yeah, we might be able to put together some Kyrios Kokonakis merch. Where's my T-shirt? Nimo, you gotta, you have to buy one, mate. I will just go in the next giveaway. Who am I rooting for in the next semi? Five sets. I don't care who wins. I want five sets all day. I want five sets. Great commentary in this match. I enjoyed it more now. Rafa is one. Thank you, Lorna. Appreciate that. Rafa in great shape, yep. I should have Bitcoin address for your donations. Really? People have Bitcoin to give. I will watch NBL and Tennis at the same time watching Vegas, Nevada. Nice, Annette. What's going on? Vegas, I've been there before. As a tourist, you're probably a local, which locals don't really hit the strip, do they? Vegas is actually a really nice place outside of the strip. I've been around there. I played him twice and like, I'm sorry, but you can't beat me like, you're not the greatest of all time. You're not the greatest of all time. You're not the greatest of all time. You're not the greatest of all time. You're not the greatest of all time. We don't know if Rafa will ever make another grand slam final because of agent injuries, so I am team Nadal all the way. All right, Rowdy, thanks for the 10, mate. Appreciate that. Hey, look, I think he's got another French open final. At least one more. But yeah. Yeah, Michelle, we will do memes after the Medvedev city pass match, yeah.  My birthday is on the 22nd of February. So we'll be watching Djokovic. On that day, we'll probably be watching Djokovic come back, first match back of the year, so that's gonna be huge, huge stream. And I never get to stream on my birthday, so I'm really excited. Rafa has the mental edge over the next gen. Agree with that. Yep, I agree with that. What time is the final on Sunday? Open roof since no rain predicted? Yeah, Debbie, it should be open roof at this stage, but then again, it might be closed halfway through because the rain might just randomly shop. It's a night match, so I'm not sure what time, maybe this time in two days, you know? Now around this time in two days. Why do you think Nadal keeps going behind to return serve after having huge success standing in? Well, that's how Djokovic beat him in 2019, so he probably is a little bit worried about someone attacking him like that. Just notice the time, it's 7 a.m. in Scotland. Oh, savage, savage. I need to wear a tutu on my birthday. Oh, because it's 22, 22, 22. That's a good one. That's a good one. Rafa's call to final was my birthday, says Debbie. Oh, happy belated birthday to you, Debbie. What is forehand on his own? I don't know. Chatting from my dad's phone, I'll subscribe to your account five times, three mine, two of others, two of my parents. Thank you, Penu, appreciate that. That's a savage move. It's 2 a.m. I'm gonna go to sleep now. That's fair enough. 2 a.m. in Jersey, geez. You guys are savages. What's for dinner? Ah, just chicken and vegetables. 1 a.m. in Chicago, it's cold. Oh, man. We just need to get the joker to come in for the final. Hey, look, Rafa winning the Australian Open sets up the best French Open you'll ever see. Djokovic plays that, which apparently he's allowed to. Djokovic plays. The French Open is like epic. If Rafa wins this tournament, it sets up an amazing French Open. You know, this is only gonna fuel Nole. It's only gonna fuel Novak Djokovic. If Rafa wins, it's only gonna make him more hungry. So yeah, I say it on my stream sometimes, forehand on its own. Really? I don't know why. I don't know what the context behind that is. My performance at work has taken a hit this week, staying up watching the streams. No regrets. Thank you, Nam. You're a savage. 2 a.m. here in South Carolina, host to Hilton Head. Thank you, Rowdy, for the two. Appreciate that, mate. Do you think Nadal can be ranked one again? If he stays healthy. Yeah, maybe at the end of this year. I mean, if he wins the Australian Open, wins the French Open, has no points to defend at Wimbledon or the U.S., so maybe, maybe. But yeah, we'll keep an eye out because if he wins this tournament, he will be ranked, he won't, Rafa can't go any higher than five. He's currently ranked five in the world. If he wins this tournament, he won't take over City Pass at number four. But wins the French Open, you know? Who knows? Who knows? If he wins the French Open, you never know. He's got no points at Wimbledon, no points at the U.S. Open to defend. So there's definitely a chance if he can come good at the end of the season as well. Couple of semifinals at those events, you know, some Master 1000s on the clay, never know. Never know. Thank you, Hugh. Appreciate it. What tournament is Novak playing next? He's playing in Dubai on the 21st of February, it starts, so he's playing in three weeks in Dubai, confirmed. Cam now is, in your opinion, who is winning the next semifinal and then the final? I think City Pass is gonna beat, City Pass is gonna beat Medvedev in four. And I think that, no, so I'll make a five, five. And then I think that Nadal beat City Pass in the final, in five. I just want five sets. Can you tell? Can you tell? I just want five sets. How will Mehdi be physically? Well, that's what we're gonna find out. That's what we'll find out in about an hour and a half's time. So yeah, that's what we'll find out. We'll find out how he looks physically because he's coming off a battle. And look, only 48 hours ago. So the time between the semifinals for him, competitor Nadal and Meritini, is a lot shorter, 24 hours less, right? So he's gonna have to really battle if he is going to get over City Pass. It's not gonna be easy. It's not gonna be easy. All right, last couple of questions and I'm gonna sign off and have some dinner. I'm hungry, I'm starving. Fellow Pisces on the 25th of February, chilling in New York, waiting for a big snowstorm. Well, stay safe, Deanna, stay safe. And happy birthday to you in a month. You can celebrate on my birthday at the same time. Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't care about what they're saying. Medvedev won't lose as long as I'm watching long. Ha ha, all right Ron, you are his lucky charm. You are his lucky charm. You are his lucky charm. All right everybody, we're gonna sign off and then we're gonna come back in about one hour. One hour's time, set your clocks, set your alarms. One hour, have a nap, come back. Have a nap, come back. I'm gonna have some dinner. Rafa Nadal, he's into his sixth Australian open final. He's won one of those five. Now he's sixth, sixth time to win two of every slam, to win 21 slams, history is on the line. I love it, I love it when we get to watch history. We've been very lucky over the last couple of years on this channel to watch history be rewritten again and again and again. And Rafa is now his turn to rewrite history and get the 21 slams before anybody else on the men's side. But can he do it?  Because Sidney Pass, Medvedev, we know that's a fierce rivalry. One of those guys is gonna take on one of the greatest of all time in the final. Who's it gonna be? We're gonna find out in about an hour. Nadal beats Baratini in four sets, six, three, six, two, three, six, six, three. Baratini, very good third set, came to play in the third set, it's a two slower start to come back against the goal. Watching tennis from USA isn't easy. It's two AM, sleepy face. I feel your pain. I feel your pain to try living in Australia. I feel your pain. Anyways, Rafa wins in four sets against Baratini and he's into the final again. Who's he gonna play? We'll find out in an hour.


Hello, welcome to SSUnitech, social decide and this is part 12 of SQL Server Performance training. So today we gonna discuss about log reads that would be logical and physical. So before going forward, if you haven't watched part 11 of this video series, so I would strongly recommend to watch that video where you can understand about the scans, then logical read and physical reads. So let's start with log reads. So what is log reads? If we are reading data from large objects like text and text, image, where care max and where care max, where binary max, then log reads comes into the picture. So here we have three types of log reads as we have discussed we had logical read, physical read and read ahead read. So here we have large object, logical read, large object, physical reads and large object read ahead read. So in case of log logical read, it reads number of large object pages from the buffer pool. Then again in case of physical read, it would read number of large object pages from the disk. And in case of read ahead read, number of large object pages read from the disk as per read ahead read mechanism as we have discussed in the last video. Let's have a look in practical. So go to on sick also management studio. And here as I am using SQL 2017, you may have another version of sick also so you can use this query check the log logical read and physical reads. So here I just want to create a table that is log read. And it would have only three columns. First is ID, that is identity column. And this is also primary key. Then name that is where care. And we have L field that is law field. And this is text. So let me create the table. Let me execute this query. So table created successfully. Now I just want to insert record on this table. So first I want to insert 100 record for the john and then 100 record for the join. So let me execute these two insert statement. So data have been loaded successfully in the table. Now I just want to clean the buffer. So we can use this dbcc drop clean buffers. So now in buffer we don't have anything. So let me enable statistics I own. Now I just want to select this table. So go to one messages inside this messages tab as we can see this is our table name then scan count is one then logical read is three physical read zero read ahead read zero then we can see log logical read that is 661. So this is just because of we are getting data from the large object. So we have discussed about the logical read physical read read ahead read and then we have discussed about the log reads. Thank you so much for watching this video. If you like this video please subscribe our channel to get many more videos.

My name is Bo Temkin, but after a film class in college where we saw the battleship Bo Temkin, I became Bo Temkin for the next four years. Somebody once hurt my feelings for a moment. They called me a name. They said that I was like a sake savant. In a meeting, I thought about Dustin Hoffman and Rain Man, and I started going, Chumai Ginjo, Daiginjo, Hanjozo, category, and I was hurt. I was like, they said, no, no, no, it's not like that. She said, you have a brain for sake.  But what I'm working on right now is my newsletter that I love to just get funky with. And I knew I was going to be hearing about food today, and I know a little bit about sake, so I thought I'd combine the two, food as sake. When was the last time that you ate booze, a good solid square meal of alcohol, a big heaping portion of giggle juice?  Neither is that jello shot, nor does your rum cake. Nope, those do not constitute a solid booze-filled dinner. Alcohol, more specifically sake, is the original fueled-up meal that brought field fermentation to the farmer. Rice is and was a three-meal deal in Japan. No other elements of an alcoholic beverage can lay claim to this necessity status. Do you think ancient Germans, sorry, history buffs, ate bowls of fermented hops and barley for lunch? How about those ancient French? Again, apologies, history geeks. Do you think they hunkered down over brimming bowls of fermented grapes for dinner? In all likelihood, the answer is nuh-uh. But wait, hold that image. See a coarse clay bowl filled with a mush, resembling oatmeal.  They are eating sake in its most ancient and raw form. Indeed, the genesis of sake, nihonshu, or the wine of Japan, was not a crystal-clear liquid that is best served chilled in fancy barglasses. No, rather, sake in its oldest carnation was a 3% to 5% alcohol-based bowl of rice that required looking away and a hefty appetite. Sake was a meal. Sake was food. It was not simply an alcohol, doing that wonderful magic that booze is associated with. Sake was functional. It was a sustenance. It was necessary, and oh yeah, it got good, hard-working people buzzed. Like most all things, sake can be traced back to ancient China. As this is where rice had its ground zero. For the sake of speaking about sake in its modern context, Japan has been, and continues to be, the torch-bearing nation for the starchy libation. Roughly 2,500 years ago, wet rice cultivation began on the island of Japan, in those cultivating rice for the first recipients of this fermented wonder that was said to have been used to liquor up ancient beasts so that it could be felled by mere mortals. Farming was a communal occupation, and rice was the most communal bonds. It was a food source so valued that at one time it was even traded as a currency. But more importantly, rice brought people together. It brought folks together to chew and spit. Yes, the earliest recorded history of sake spoke about a form of a brew that was created by chewing rice and spitting the gob into a wooden bucket, kuchikami no sake, or chewed in the mouth sake. Those glorious farmers somehow realized if they chewed the rice and spat it out into wooden tubs or buckets that the enzymes in their mouths would break the long-chain starch molecules into a glucose and then this glucose would sit in the bucket for about a week and allow airborne yeasts to propagate and ferment that glucose into a wonderful alcohol. Bingo, a meal and a party in one. And that is indeed what happened. Villages used religious occasions to get groups together to chew and spit en masse to create a large batch of saliva sake. My words, not theirs. Usually the village leader would start the process and the rest of the villagers would join the spit-a-thon.  And suggested that he would prefer the ricey spit of a virgin. And so began the next phase of sake in its oldest form, Bijinshu, beautiful girl sake that basically was a virginal masterpiece. Yes, the village virgins would all gather and chew rice as a team descended from the gods. Then they would release their globby glory into the wind to find a warm, gooey home in the bottom of a very receptive receptacle. Pure heaven, a sustenance so dreamy that people no longer cringed at the thought of Yoshi's spit. A product so marketable that Anheiser Bush is considering making a beer called Bud Virgin. Yes, sake became sexy as well as savory. But let's not kid ourselves. The sake that we were speaking about still resembled a gruel that was chunky and funky. How did they eat this fermented food source? Originally with hands in disposable Purell towelettes. Then yet another enterprising farmer who was tired of drinking, excuse me. Then yet another enterprising farmer who was tired of trying to drink the good stuff at the bottom of the bowl through the mush thought about a fixing a straw to the bottom side. In this scenario, the heavy mush remained on the top and the heavenly juice sat in the bottom, easily extracted with pursed lips and a sucking sound. For those having a hard time picturing this, think about your last 7-Eleven slurpee or slushie at the movies. Ice on top, good stuff on bottom. And all apologies for mentioning 7-Eleven in this room on this day. Fifth century in Japan saw a very unique vessel shaped like an hourglass with a larger bowl on top and a small bowl on bottom with an attached straw, heavy mash on top in the fluid running down into the lower bowl with straw. Again, for those having difficulty seeing this image, think of a ridiculously large green tube of alcohol on Bourbon Street. Ah, but sixth century Japan saw the advent of a bowl of sake again. Just a bowl of fermented gruel that required the use of long pinchers almost like modern day eyebrow tweezers to lift the chunks of sake out to be eaten and the bowl to be tipped and sift. Very civilized, very sixth century. The concept of fine dining has come a very long way since bowls of fermented gruel shared amongst farmers and village virgins or has it.


Looking for a good old boring time? Well, the boring man is for you. Today, Brittany reviews the new Stick Man shooter, Boring Man. I can hardly contain my excitement. This episode is brought to you by Game Deus, the god of artistic motion gaming. Let me tell you, we played this game, and wow. It was not boring, but it is called Boring Man. Why? Who knows? Maybe it's because it has the graphics of a four-year-old with the mind of an adult. Or maybe it's because it's described as tactical stick man combat. Boring Man features a wide selection of game modes and an even more vast collection of mutators that turns your vanilla game into a chaotic madhouse. The first mode we tried was literally impossible for me. I suck at anything parkour, and then when you add deadly spikes, it's just a disaster for me. Another round we played was Deathmatch, and that was definitely where the fun was. Me, Lauren, and Mike got to shoot each other. Mike prevailed. I kinda did sometimes. But that round was really fun because there's a lot of different unique and interesting weapons that you can unlock by getting enough kills. Tomahawks, sawed-off shotguns, and healing grenades, just to name a few. Michael even got this really sweet gun that shoots bombs at you. Why? Why? No, stop! Take it! No! What did I get? A suicide vest. This game is literally one of the most basic games starting out. But it was a ton of fun and actually requires just a little bit of skill. It has power-ups, booby traps, and interesting levels to maneuver through. Not to mention some funny graphics sprinkled here and there. Loyal employees don't need holiday bonuses. These signs are so funny. It's beyond easy enough to just pick up and start playing right away. In Deathmatch, that is. The other is not so much. But if you wanna know how to pick up anything or switch weapons, you should probably try out the tutorial. This game was green light on Steam for a while and it recently just turned into a free-to-play game. It has a mostly positive review from 559 reviewers, which is pretty good. But I urge you to give it a try and make a rating for yourself. Be adventurous and try something new, and it's helping to support someone who spent a lot of time creating something that you can enjoy for free. I know that many of you think that I'm only supposed to talk about the latest and the greatest games, but that costs a lot of money that I don't have. And you never know. Maybe some of these games are actually new and exciting to someone. I know a lot of them are the first time I've played them. So if you are interested, please do leave a comment regarding the game. But new games are expensive and I can't afford to spend that much money. But in the meantime, if you have any recommendations of any games that you'd like to hear me review, leave a comment down below and tell me about it. I hope I didn't bore you too much this time, guys. If you would like to see my Boring Man game play or some more on my face, you can check out my link in the description below. It is Brits Games. Come say hi. And until next time, thank you guys for joining me. I'll see you next week. Bye. All right, so we're playing Boring Man. We don't know anything about this game except we don't know how to play it. That's all we know.  Destroy the red menace and join the USC today. Hey, look, I'm Michael Jackson. I don't know how to buy things. Oh. Uh-oh. Did someone like throw a flash bank? Impulse is produced by the Freedom Network. Ever wanted to earn revenue from your videos?

We thank you for everything that you have done for us and we continue to look forward to what you will do for us in the future. These are the messages we ask in your precious name, we pray, amen. Thank you, Ms. Elana Dubois. Mr. Bill Wang, Deputy Chief Mission Counselor of the Embassy of the Republic of China, Taiwan. Mr. Jonathan Yang, Second Secretary of the Embassy of the Republic of China, Taiwan. Mrs. Ruffin Philip Carrasco, Marketing Specialist in the Ministry of Commerce, International Trade Investment, Enterprise Development, and Consumer Affairs. This is Shondel Alexander, Entrepreneur of Abbey, Abbey's Exotic Blend, Members of the Exhibitors of the St. Lucia Taiwan Partnership Trade Show and Entrepreneurs, the Invited Guests, Members of the Ministry of Commerce, International Trade Investment, Enterprise Development, and Consumer Affairs. Good morning. My name is Stephen Edmond and I'm your moderator today. This is a great pleasure to launch the St. Lucia Taiwan Partnership Trade Show. It's the 12th annual St. Lucia Taiwan Partnership Trade Show and we're very excited for this year's trade show. I know all our exhibitors are excited. Our friends from Taiwan are very excited and we are here to tell everyone in St. Lucia, Taiwan, and the rest of the world that this event is happening. At this time, I'd like to call on Ms. Lydia Daria. She is a trade show committee member to give the welcome remarks. Please allow me to observe the protocol which has already been established for this press launch and to bid you all a pleasant good morning. On behalf of the Ministry of Commerce, International Trade Investment, Enterprise Development, and Consumer Affairs, it is indeed a pleasure to warmly welcome you to this press launch to officially unveil this year's 12th annual St. Lucia Taiwan Partnership Trade Show. This highly anticipated trade show forms part of activities in observance of St. Lucia Business Month being held throughout the month of November under the theme All-In Our Journey, Our Future, Propelling Growth Through Entrepreneurship. The essence of this theme calls for renewed partnerships among the public and private sector to enable the growth of our economy by cultivating a strong, sustainable, entrepreneurial culture among the citizenry. This long-standing trade show is an example of such partnerships which exist in support of the government's wider economic development efforts. The annual trade show has therefore been built over the years as a result of the strong and committed bond between the two sister nations of St. Lucia and the Republic of China Taiwan, which is strengthened year after year. We are therefore pleased to welcome Mr. Bill Wong, Deputy Chief of Mission, and Mr. Jonathan Yang, Second Secretary of the Embassy of the Republic of China Taiwan, and to thank them for joining us for this unveiling. Our presence is further testimony of the commitment of the government of Taiwan in ensuring that St. Lucia continues to host this prestigious event as part of our efforts to grow our economy through enterprise development in anticipation of increasing our participation in global trade. This support being provided by the government of the Republic of China Taiwan to enable our micro-small and medium-sized enterprises to gain domestic market presence and enter partnerships with hoteliers and distributors island-wide has indeed been achieving its intended objectives and yielding great dividends for our entrepreneurs. We have several success stories of exhibitors having entered into contracts with hoteliers and distributors to supply them with quality goods and services which emerged out of their participation in the annual trade show. Having said this, please permit me to use this opportunity to acknowledge and congratulate Ms. Shondelle Alexander of Abbey's Exotic Blends Limited who captured the small business of the year award at the recently concluded St. Lucia business award ceremony. Ms. Alexander is a long-standing participant of the trade show and with each passing year her product only improves and her market presence spreads far and wide throughout St. Lucia. This ladies and gentlemen is what your participation in the St. Lucia Taiwan trade show does for your business. It puts you a cut above the rest and drives your business forward. For this we the government and people of St. Lucia express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you, our family and friends of the Republic of China Taiwan for your continued commitment to developing our economy. In closing, I wish to thank each and every one of you for joining the Ministry of Commerce and the Embassy of the Republic of China Taiwan for this press launch. Let's continue working together to ensure that this trade show is indeed a phenomenal success and one with emulation by others. Enjoy the rest of this morning's proceedings. I thank you. Thank you very much Ms. Lydia Daria. At this time I'd like to call on the marketing specialist in the Ministry of Commerce, Mrs. Rufan Karasko-Philip to give a few remarks.

Importantly businesses from both countries profit from the opportunity to develop strategic trading and networking alliances to promote the goods and services in the global globalized market.

We encourage the general public to be part of this wonderful experience. There will be something for everyone, so I encourage you. Attend, support a friend, a family, or make new friends. Network. We aim to make this a wonderful experience for all. And I would also like you to visit the Senlusha Taiwan Partnership Trade Show for more information. So it's SenlushaTaiwan.org. Thank you very much, and have a pleasant morning. Thank you very much, Mrs. Ruthanne Carrasco-Philip. At this time, I'd like to call on Mr. Bill Wong, the councillor of the Embassy of the Republic of China, Taiwan. Bonjour. Ladies and gentlemen and all the nice people in front of the TV. Saga Fett. Well, they did not prepare a speech for me, so I just talk about whatever comes to my mind. And don't worry, I won't dance here because this phase is too limited. This is the 12th year of the trade show. And actually, you know, last year, it was the first time for me. And I was deeply touched because, first of all, this is the one and only, not to mention the biggest trade show that, you know, organized by Taiwan with our diplomatic ally countries in this region. And so it allows us an opportunity to feature what is best from Taiwan and what is best from St. Lucia, too. And secondly, I want to emphasize that this is not only a trade show. It is a partnership trade show. That means we come here not just for business, for partnership, because there is really a lot that Taiwan and the Taiwanese businessmen can offer. They came here not just to sell products to you, but they come here to offer you the best solution, either to your needs at home or maybe your industrial needs. So we try to focus on the word partnership because it is a chance for business people from both countries to do some business matching and form some partnership. And one of these days, I hope that, you know, in Taiwan, people are going to enjoy your hot sauces because it's so good we cannot wait to sell it to Taiwan. So it's a partnership and it's both ways. So we try to keep it that way and we try to make it even bigger. And by working together, I think we can accomplish great business together. So best of luck to the coming trade show and I want to, especially on behalf of His Excellency Ambassador Douglas, Shen, thank the San Luzhian team for working with us because our team is very small, but only by working with you can we make it a big business. So thank you very much. Messy appeal. Thank you so much, councillor Bill Huang. I like your Creole. It's excellent. At this time, I'd like to call Miss Shondel Alexander, entrepreneur of Abbey's Exotic Blend. Exotic Blend. Good morning, everyone. I would like to adopt the protocol already established. I do not have a written speech. I just want to say thank you to everyone of you, the Ministry of Commerce, SEDU and everyone else who made my journey possible. My dream came true because of the Ministry of Commerce. Mr. Jonathan Ale, he was one of the people really behind me pushing so that I could get to where I'm at today. I was able to secure the leadership, excellence in customer service and also implementation of standards and best practices awards last year. And this year, we got small business of the year. I think all of this came because of the Ministry of Commerce and also the Manufacturers Association. So those of you young people out there who are young business people are thinking, I think you should join the Manufacturers Association or visit the commerce or SEDU and they will assist you to get to where you want to be. Okay, thank you very much. Thank you very much, Miss Shondel Alexander of Abbey's Exotic Blend. At this time, we shall now have a question and answer session for our panelists. So any person in the audience who'd like to, could you ask a question? Okay, we have a question. Abbey, I feel proud of you, of what you get through. I watched you last night and you said a few, we can join the association with small business. It is very true because I am one last year. I get an award for my business, small business. It's very true to go to the Ministry of Commerce, also TIPA too, to join. It is very important, that's something. It is important for us to do our business, register our business the right way. Do everything, it's very important. And I'm telling you, from Sunday, I'll be out of St. Lucia to Dominica because of TIPA. They push me out so that I can get my Frances Robb out of St. Lucia. And I'm telling you, the Taiwanese trade show has lift me up. Ministry of Commerce has lift me up TIPA and all the others has lift me up. And I feel proud of it. And the others at the back, you all need to listen to what Abbey said, push yourself in front and it's very good. Any other questions? Any other questions? Okay, so ladies and gentlemen, since we have no further questions and I must say that was the start to our next section, which is the experience by our exhibitors participating in the St. Lucia Taiwan Partnership Trade Show. At this time, I'd like to call a representative of Caribbean Grains Limited to share the experience with you. As we establish protocol, again, I'd like to say good morning to everyone. And the St. Lucia Taiwan Partnership Trade Show have been an amazing experience. An experience that allows for good linkage between industries and between the different businesses. For Caribbean Grains in particular, it have allowed this organization to fully understand its role or its purpose in this industry. Whilst we are a manufacturer of flour, but we are also a service provider and our ultimate goal is more or less to strengthen the baking industry in St. Lucia and throughout the region. And more so what we have done through, again, the most recently held trade show is to create greater awareness of our brand and also to help to reorganize or re-energize the Baker's Association in St. Lucia. So I know that for the past two years that attendees or patrons have been excited and always jump to that display of bread pastry. So we want to encourage everybody to come for an exciting moment. It may not be through the Caribbean Grains directly, but the Baker's Association want to display what is made in St. Lucia, Baguette pastry, not imported, but it's actually made here. So again, the trade show creates linkages, as I said, and it allows that platform or that it helps to build that foundation for businesses to grow into whatever you want to grow into. Thank you. Thank you, sir. This was a representative of Caribbean Grains Limited. At this time, I'd like to call on a representative from Illuminating Designs. As the protocol already established, good morning to everyone. My name is Terrell Nicholas and I am the owner of Illuminating Designs. As per the trade show, I have participated in it for the past three years and I can say that it is one of the events that I absolutely look forward to every single year. The opportunity to be part of the trade show has given me a chance to be more creative in that I have not just created stuff, but I keep creating different things over the years. And it's an opportunity for you to come out and see what Illuminating Designs has to offer this year in the Sen Lusha Taiwan trade show. I thank you very much. All right, any other person would like, thank you so much for our representative from Illuminating Designs. And as you could hear, they are so excited and have had really good experiences working with the Sen Lusha Taiwan Partnership Trade Show. And I can tell you my experience there, it's always a wonderful time there. It's a great pleasure to be part of this exhibition. Ladies and gentlemen, anybody else would like to give a few remarks? Okay, we're shy today. And that's, oh, Abby, have some more things to say. Wonderful. I am sorry, the purpose I was really here for. I have, currently I have 63 outlets currently I have 63 outlets that I supply. 95% of those people that I supply came from this trade show. Every year I get three, four or five new clients, big business, and it came from this trade show. So those of you I've been here for six years, this is my sixth year, and it has been wonderful. I look forward to it every year. I come up with a new product every year or two so that I can shine at every trade show. That's it. Thank you again, Abby.
