Live from Houston, Texas, it's The Cube, covering Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing. Hello and welcome back to The Cube's coverage of the Grace Hopper Conference here in Houston, Texas. I'm Rebecca Knight, your host, and I'm joined by my co-host, Pooja Sivaraman. She is one of our tech reporting fellows. Our guest today is Nora Poghi. She is a French journalist and filmmaker. Her documentary, her latest project, is the documentary called She Started It. It is a film about female entrepreneurs and the challenges of women-led companies. It premiered last week to great acclaim at the Mill Valley Film Festival, and we're going to have it in special screenings this week at Grace Hopper. Welcome, Nora. Thank you for having me. Hello. Yeah, Nora, thank you so much for being here. Can you tell us and the audience a little bit about your movie and what inspired you to make it? Yes, so She Started It is a documentary that follows the lives of five young women in the trenches of building their own startups. So in CSIA, who's my co-director, co-producer, and I, we decided in 2013 to start putting the spotlight on women who are building tech companies. We're kind of tired of seeing only, you know, the Mark Zuckerberg and the Bill Gates of the world and thinking there's great women out there building companies, and we want to really put the spotlight on them. So we ended up following five exceptional young women who kind of met throughout our research as journalists, and for two years, we followed them through the ups and downs of their startup journeys, so. That's amazing, and from your journey following these five women, what did you find were the biggest challenges they faced in the industry? Well, there's a lot of challenges. I would say fundraising for women entrepreneurs is one of the biggest hurdle. So as you know, 96% of VCs are male and people tend to invest in people who look like them. It's this pattern recognition problem which is also happening in recruitment. And, you know, a lot of them, even though they were extremely talented, had a great track record. So Stacey Ferrera, one of them, you know, had sold her company at just 21, and we followed her when she started her second company. And it was a lot harder this time around to fundraise without her brother. And it's just those things that a lot of young guys in Silicon Valley raise money up, not even a prototype, you know, for something that doesn't even have any traction. And she had that track record, and yet it was still very hard for her to raise money. It's just one example out of many, but I think fundraising is a big issue. And how did the women that you were following deal with issues like that or other barriers in the tech industry? Well, one thing that was very inspiring, which is why we made this movie, is that they were extremely persistent and resilient, and that's really the trademark of an entrepreneur. Women or men, it's really about that grit that you don't give up no matter what happens, you keep going. And all of them, basically the whole movie, goes through those ups and downs. And we don't sugarcoat it, you see a lot of the struggle, but in the end they keep going and that's what makes it inspiring, I think. Yeah, definitely. And I don't want you to give away too much about the movie, but if there's one character in particular that you could share a little bit about and why she was so inspiring. Well, Tuy Trong, who's from Vietnam, she joined the 500 Startups Accelerator and that's how we met her there. She was just freshly arrived from Vietnam, went through that accelerator and she was just an extremely inspiring person. People just, when they see the movie, automatically relate to her, being a foreigner, being young women, trying to make it in America. And she went through a lot of hurdles, but she built a second company back in Vietnam that ended up being successful and she's extremely inspiring. All of them are, the five of them are, it's like choosing between your kids, I can't. Yeah.  So from, you've been covering tech for a really long time and what are the biggest changes you've seen for women and are you optimistic about the future? I am optimistic.  I think about 15,000 women here, technical or, you know, interested in technology, entrepreneurial, it's very encouraging and there's more happening now. You know, when we started this movie three years ago, no one was really talking about women entrepreneurs and now it's a big thing, you know, which is positive. But the numbers are not changing fast enough.  And same for just people building companies. We don't have enough spotlight. We don't really have enough visibility for the people out there who are building companies, again, who are not white males. So we send it to work on it. Yeah, I mean, what's great about your movie is you're giving a platform for that visibility for women who are really striving and making it in the industry. So that's really great. And do you think that films and journalism and documentary are a good platform for social change? Do you think that by bringing these issues to the forefront, we can get companies and people talking about it and it can drive some change? That's a great question because that's what we hope. That's what we hope. I mean, the thing is a lot of people might not realize the importance of media, the weight media plays in our everyday lives. But the truth is we consume a lot of media, young people especially. And we relate, we identify to protagonists on the screen. So I think there's nothing more powerful than seeing someone who looks like you on screen being a trailblazer and a hero and kind of relating to that. And that's what we're trying to do with the documentary. So I, yeah, I believe in social change through media very much so. That's great. And so for your own documentary, what's next? And what do you hope to see come out of your documentary? Not only in media portrayals of these women, but also just in the industry on a whole? Well, our goal with this film for NCI and myself is we want to reach one million women and girls in 2017, which is pretty soon. So we are doing a massive screening tour right now. We're going through universities, high schools, corporations, conferences like Grace Hopper, film festivals, and then broadcasts hopefully and online later. So we think by kind of having this tour, we can have single conversations, spark discussions on the ground with people. We don't want to just put it online and hope for the best. We think conversations need to happen. And hopefully people can start kind of identifying with new role models and talking about these things out loud. Absolutely. And I was at a talk with you yesterday and someone asked, is there going to be a sequel? How do I get featured on this? So there are some great women doing really great things. And from your experience in talking about your film with people on the ground, what are some really interesting conversations you've had? Yeah, I mean, one thing that's very inspiring is that we need so many women entrepreneurs throughout the store who are like, like you just said, hey, like I want to be featured. And that's great. We're like, there's millions of women out there also building companies and we're not being given a platform. So I think we're trying to put the spotlight back on them. And we're not the only ones. There's so many organizations out there. I mean, you know, Grace Hopper, Girls in Tech, Girls Who Code, all of that. But basically what's been really great is seeing that influx of women entering the industry. And I think we just need now to give them the tools. They're there, there's a lot more interested. We need to support them, give them money, mentor them, sponsor them. So yeah. Yeah, and I wanted to ask also about the pipeline problem because while there's also this influx of women entering the industry, there's an issue with keeping them there and company culture. So what are your views on how to keep women in the tech industry? Yeah, so I might not be the best expert in terms of the corporate side, but we do see a lot of women obviously now leaving the tech industry. And it's a big topic that Cheryl Sunberg talks about in Lean-In and all of that. And the main thing is company culture and the tech culture. So that's why Grace Hopper is the best example of that is trying to show that technology doesn't have to be in men's world.  So I think that's one thing that we need to change at tech companies is the culture. Because otherwise people are just going to keep leaving if they don't feel represented or heard or listened to. And I know a lot of my, you know, girlfriends or people I meet talk about those things off the cuff. They don't necessarily want to talk about out loud, but there's a lot happening that's not really fair. You know, a lot of women don't feel heard enough in those companies, so. Yeah, so it's not only about representation in the media but also just in a corporate space.  Yeah, that's really great. And are there any future documentaries you guys are thinking of? I know there's no sequel right now, but what are you looking in the future? What kinds of stories are you looking to tell? I would love to keep going, but I mean, right now I think she started is the main, like I said, we have a huge vision for the next year. We're looking for sponsors actually, if anyone's listening, to kind of really scale this, take it to, like I said, as many people as possible. And after that, I think I'm going to take a nap, take a break. But who knows, maybe someone will want to find a sequel that we can film in lots of other countries. There's not just, you know, you're up in America and Vietnam, there's a lot of other countries, so maybe a sequel, who knows? Yeah, were there any stories in your first movie that you came across that you just couldn't include and potentially could include in the future but that you found, but that didn't make the cut? Just more of the ones we had met because we quickly focused on these five, but I wish, for example, Sheena Allen or Agatmolina, who's from France and Sheena Allen is from Mississippi, both of them, we had to condense it, but I think we could always shoot more, they're awesome. We're just about out of time, but I want to ask you one final question, and that is, if you could get all the funders out there, the VCs, the angel investors in a room and give them one piece of advice based on what you have seen and heard and learned about in doing the film, she started it, what would it be? For the financiers? Yes, fund women, basically a lot of them talk a lot and I want to see them open their checkbooks and actually funding women, so if you're a VC, take that meeting, like you have to go a little bit further than what you would do in general, you have to seek out the women, they exist. There's Female Founders Conference Group, there's 500 startups, they have tons of amazing women founders, seek them out, go to those events, network, and really try to be open-minded, take that meeting with that young woman entrepreneur. She might not know exactly how it works, but make that extra step because otherwise it's never going to change, so I want them to actually walk the walk. Nora Poghi, thank you so much for joining us. Your film is, she started it, it's going to be in theaters, in special screenings nationwide. I'm Rebecca Knight, for my co-host here, Pooja Siviraman, thank you so much for joining us. We will be back with theCUBE's live coverage of the Grace Hopper event here in Houston, Texas after the short break. Hi, I'm John.


horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and the hearty high old silver, the lone ranger. Faithful Indian companion, Tonto, the masked rider of the plane fought crime and criminals throughout the early western United States. His great strength and courage made him the hero of countless adventures, and the stories of his deeds have been handed down to the generations. Return with us now those thrilling days when the West was young. From out of the past come the thundering hoops beats of the great horse Silver, the lone ranger rides again. Come on, Sill, the glory of the prayer ahead! High old Sill! As our story begins, old Missouri, top hand at the Lazy Jay Ranch, is in a Pecos Cafe talking with several of his friends.  Morton has tried every way a man can think of to keep us staying mad from keeping a ranch, and we lift him at every turn. You and Mag better be on guard, it's all I can say. Him is my sandwich, too. Gents, do you really think that critter, Morton, would have the nerve to try some other scheme to get the Lazy Jay? There ain't no question about it. Gosh, maybe I'd better start worrying all over again. Dog gone at all, I figured we'd come to the end of the trouble with Morton. Just remember one thing, Missouri. What's that? Morton ain't got to be the biggest landowner in the Pecos region by giving up easy. Yes, sir, Regents, I've got some worrying to do. Pardon me, Gents. Well, stranger? My name's Higgins. Welcome to Pecos, Mr. Higgins. This is Duke, this here's Missouri, and my name's Al. Set yourself down, relax. I'm only stopping by hoping to get a smidge of information. Well? I, uh, I've got to herd a sheep outside of town. Sheep? A sheepherder? I'm only out and out, sir. An only sheepherder coming in here like he was quality and associated with cowmen like us. Why, dad! This is good, is it? Hold it. Just don't speak up too brash, Mr. Higgins, or cause might lead to trouble. You're in company that ain't none too healthy for a sheep grower. I recognize, Sally. State your business, and then I'd advise you to shove on. I'm looking for the Lazy Jay. You're looking for what? Landsakes, Mr. Higgins. Did I hear you say the Lazy Jay? Yes. Well, you're looking at the top hand of the Lazy Jay right now. I'm Missouri. I wanted to see Mustang Mag. I reckon she owns it, don't she? She owns it, and that's all. I'm the top hand. If you'll tell me how to get there, I'd be downright appreciative. I'm done, if I will. I ain't no time for sheep men, and neither is Mustang Mag, and neither is the Lazy Jay. I've got a message for her, that's all. I'll take that message. I don't know about that, Mr. Missouri. Well, I do. I'll take it easy, Missouri.  It's a letter. I got it here. What's that you dropped? Oh, just a cartridge. I was told to hand the Mustang Mag along with the letter. Here you are. Mr. Higgins, you... What's the matter, Duke? Have a look at this cartridge, Al. What? Silver. That's what I thought. Say, who gave you this letter? I can't say another thing. Now, if you tell me how to get the Lazy Jay, I'll deliver this. If you won't, I'll have to try and find it for myself. Hey, that letter must be from my partner. Your partner? Sure, the Silver Bullet, the Lone Ranger. Come on, Higgins. I'll take you to the Mustang Mag. So long, James. I'll see you later. Come on, Higgins. Al. Yeah, Duke. Six horses couldn't drag me out in Pecos right now. I wouldn't miss what's coming for a hundred dollars. What's coming? What do you mean? The Lone Ranger picking a sheet man to fetch a letter to Mustang Mag. By ginger, there's something behind that, or my name ain't Duke Miller. Missouri questioned the sheep herder as they rode to the Lazy Jay ranch house, but Higgins' reply is run satisfactory. As the tutors mounted near the house, the patience of the foreman was exhausted. He said, I'm my born day see the man as contankerous as you are, Higgins. You don't tell me where you met the mask man, where your sheep is at right now, or anything else that satisfy my claving for knowledge. I got to deliver this letter to Mustang Mag. That's all I heard for the last half hour. Blast your hide. There's the house and like is not she's right inside. Now go on, deliver the dead rat at hunk of paper. There she is.  You must be Mustang Mag. I am. I got a letter for you and a silver bullet to show that it come from a friend of yours. Silver bullet? Land safe. From my friend, Mag, from the old ranger. Open her up fast and let's see what he's got to say. You go put your horse where below him. Sure I will, Mag, but I'm just all fired anxious to know how my friend is and where he's at. I told you to put your horse in the corral. Sure, but is there a rush about it? When I give her an order, I want to carry it out.   His curiosity riles me to distraction sometimes. Well, let's see what the man arid this has to say. Did he give you this personal? Yes, and he gave me particular instructions to go with it. So he says, hmm, doggone cure. It's hard to believe he read it. That's why he sent the silver bullet. He figured you might have doubts about it. Well, so you got a herd of sheep, eh? Yeah? Yeah, won't need ready cash or you're willing to sell them to me at a low price. Just so? Sounds like a right spot in the ocean. But I'd better not better than rank a little Missouri plenty. For special reasons, Mustang Mag, I got to have cash now. Got to send it east to my folks. So he says here? Yeah. Oh, where's the critters now? On the open range, the other side of the vehicles. I got a herd and some dogs are watching him. All right, Higgins, it's a deal. I'll do what the long ranger says and trust him to get me out of things. Hey, old Missouri. Get to the house here. We got some papers for you to sign the name to. I guess that he's putting the horse out and saddle up. What'd you rather say, Mag? What's so special about it? I'm going to make all the bills sale and hand this gent some cash. I want you as a witness to the proceedings. Me? Oh, sure. I'm a darn good witness, Mag. Missouri, we don't have much stock now after Shippanese. Nothing but a few yearlings. And just so, Mag. So I'm buying this gent's flock of sheep. That'll be right fine. What? What is that? I says, Missouri, I'm buying Higgins' sheep. You're not kidding me. Mag, you can't do it. You can't herd sheep. And who's to stop me? I can herd with a darn well please. And if you don't want to stay on here, just quit. But, Mag, your reputation. What'll folks say? What'll all the cattlemen say? What'll the associations say? You can't double-cross everyone. You can't buy sheep. We all agree to let no sheep get in here. Mag, leap and rattle snakes you.  I'm still buying a lot of wool on the hoof. They hang, folks, for less. They might hang you. They'll drive you out. The men are all on the side of Morton. Mag, you're just the same as stealing open range land. Oh, Mag, don't do it. Hang it on. Don't be stubborn this time. Take it over, Mag. Don't do what I say. The news spread to Pecos. The ranchers, knowing that sheep would grow in the open range for cattle grazing, were rather lost to understand Mustang Mag's actions. They felt that she had betrayed them, that she'd violated her agreement with the other cattlemen. They fumed and raged, threatened and stormed at her house. You can't do it below his hand. You can't bring sheep in here. You got to get rid of them, Mag. That's all there is to it. Now listen to me. You're packing a loud talking galore. All right. Listen to what you've got to say. Listen to me.  Well, please. Morton has made a special study of the laws around here, and he does what he pleases, being careful not to break the law and land in jail. Well, bless your hides. I'll do that same. If you think I can't herd sheep, go read your law. While public sentiment ran high against Mustang Mag, Higgins appeared at Morton's ranch and said, I'm willing to do most anything for cash. I thought that before Mag herded them sheep into the valley, I might be able to fix up the lazy jail water holes. Fix them up. Yeah. How? With some stuff I got. It's a sort of medicine. It'll make the sheep terrible sick for a time. You savvy? Yeah. But they'll get over it. As long as a man don't drink none of the water, it'll be all right. I wouldn't want to poison nobody. Sure not. There won't be none of the stuff to be put into the well near Mag's house, just in the water holes where the sheep will drink. What about her livestock? They won't touch the water holes, not their sheep's shoes. She'll water the cattle and go for quick. Where do you figure I'm getting cash for that? Now, as I says, Martin, the sheep won't be seriously hurt at all. Just sick and they'll look bad. Then what? The whole thing is just this. Mag bought them sheep, figuring on selling them right soon to a man that's coming through.  They'll run her out of the region. That's what I'm counting on. Just so. She has to sell them soon and I'd hang around myself and wait for this eastern gent, but I can't. I got to have cash quick, then get. So if he don't like the looks of the sheep and don't buy them, she'll be stuck with them. Sure. Every man around will help to run her out. Not even the lawman will be on our side. You know how the laws are overlooked when sheep come into cattle country. Higgins, you get. Huh? I figured you might be. I says get. The idea you thinking I'd pay you to poison water holes. Go on out of that door and keep traveling. Get going. I'll help you along with gunlet.  What's the shooting for? Ah, butch. Where'd you got here? Come on inside. Who was the ombry that just could add or suffade? That's Higgins, the sheep herder. Butch, he's given me a slick idea. Yeah? Now listen, butch. What's the stuff that can be put into water and make sheep powerful, sick and bad, looking for a time without hurting them permanent? I don't know, but I can find out. Lefty knows sheep pretty well. You find out. I got the slickest idea a man could have. Meg's leaving her land. Butch, she don't know it yet. That night, two men rode among the herd of sheep some distance from Meg's ranch. One wore a mask and the other was an Indian. This will be the real test of Morton's life, Todd. That's right. If he's honest, he'll have nothing to be concerned about. But the man is not honest. He'll trap himself this time unless something goes wrong. Hunter, I hope that's true. What's the matter, Silver Role Boy? Hear someone? A rider come that way. Too dark to see who it is. I can hear the horse though. There, him. Hello, there. Hello! I'm looking for Higgins. Hold on. This is Higgins' flock, isn't it? It was. He sold out. That's what I mean. I'm his brother. They've been waiting for you. I couldn't come until... Are you masked? Yes. What were you going to say? But you... You're a masked man. You go on. You waited until you got the latest price on sheep, didn't you? Yes, but that mask, you... You say my brother sold his sheep? He has. But I told him I... He knew I was coming. I was to meet him here. I wanted to be sure you got here. A lot depends on that. Now we can ride away. Ready, Taddo? You ready? But who bought this flock? Who are you and what are you... You can ask your brother when you see him. He'll have a lot to tell you. But I... You learn everything later. Come, Taddo. Good luck, friend. Get him up, Skull Silver! The Lone Ranger will return in just a moment. But first we have a message from your announcer. How to continue our story. On the day following his talk with Higgins, Morton and his top hand headed toward the office of the sheriff. A lot of sentiment against Mustang Meg. Eat the butch. It's all you hear around the town. Reckon will be right. Nice to have a talk with the sheriff about things. Who, who they who. Sure enough, well, then... Now you let me do all the talking. I don't thank you to talk. Maybe you can talk yourself into the good graces of the sheriff now that he sees there's reason to want Mustang Meg drove out. Howdy, Sheriff. Oh, there. Howdy, Morton. I met her with you. You look like he was watching a ghost or something.  No, no, step right in.  Thanks for the invite. Now stand over there. What the... Reckon, the Lone Ranger. Stand against the wall and keep your hands above the hips. Now, fire at your first sudden move. Sorry, Gens, but the masked man was behind the door there and I couldn't warn him. What are you doing here? Calling on the sheriff, Morton. I wanted to find out just how willing he was to see the law carried out. For what? Mustang Meg has sheep. We know that. Don't keep out of this butch. My business here is purely with the sheriff himself. I told you that I'd do my best to see the law enforced. But me and two deputies can't find every calm man in the Pakers region if they take it into their heads to drive out Mustang Meg and a confounded sheep. And that's what they're going to do, Sheriff. I'm warning you. I guess we understand each other now, Sheriff. Reckon so. I'll see you again. Get that arm free. Oh, good, Morton. He's read it all. Only I could get a shot at him. I wouldn't if I was you. I didn't see his horse. Left that around bagged. There, you savvy now? Yeah, I savvy. What was you and him scheming? You heard why he was here. It didn't seem as if he'd come here just for that. Maybe not. Maybe he'd come on something else. There's none of your business. What are you here for? Just to tell you that I know how you're trying all the time to get reason to slap me in the caribou. And if Meg is driven from her land, I ain't going to take the blame for it. Your dog going near through, let it the mask, man. That'd have put you in jail. There hadn't been anyone else who was to have been shot in the back. I'd almost have let you do it. Just to have an excuse to jail you. If that's what you're waiting for, you'll have a good long wait. Hello? What dog? It's the engine. Both of them in town. What are they doing here? The Lone Ranger held Silver to a slow gallop and Tonto quickly overtook him. Then as the two left the town behind, the masked man said, I'm glad to know that's how the sheriff feels about Morton, fellow. Sheriff, tell him just fast. And I'm sure we can count on him. Too bad Morton had to come in just while I was there. But the sheriff heard enough. He'll play the game along with Mustang Mag and you and I. And now what me do? You'll stand guard. You'll watch the lazy J. And when the next move is made, you'll signal me. Hello, Silver! Hello! Old Missouri argued and complained, but Mustang Mag stood firm and in due time a hundred head of sheep were driven into her valley ranch. The ranch it was so greatly desired by Morton that he was willing to go to almost any lanes to secure it. Missouri sat stubbornly on the porch of Mag's home, rocking in an easy chair. He muttered to himself. The dog's gone to file-take a hand. Now he blasted and hog-tied the file turned to wrangling sheep. It's an insult to look for a hand like me to do it. Then the house door opened. And Mag slammed it hard. That! You never know! You're mad. You shouldn't do such things. It takes a life. I thought somebody'd fired a six-gun under me. Sitting here wasting time or dad rat your wrinkled hide, your stubbornness is going to drive me to distraction.  Won't do it. So there. I says get up. I don't. I think you're going to make an issue out of it. I'm up. Now step smart. We've got plenty of business to take care of. What sort of business? I've got to fix it so we can sell them sheep. Sell them? You ain't going to keep them?  But Mag, I thought I figured them. I had to know. You're thinking figure true blame much, Missouri. Who said anything about keeping the sheep? I was just buying them for the investment. Well, no, I'm gone. There's a man do here inside the next few days. You'll be buying them from me. I didn't see no letters come here. What none? Then how do you know this home-brave was coming? Missouri stop asking questions and go tend the sheep. See their friends go in so they don't get to the creek. And see, they get plenty of water from the waterholes. I reckon if the cows can stand a few days of the sheep being here, you ought to be able to. Missouri and the other lazy J-men felt relieved when they learned the sheep would not be on their ranch long. Meanwhile, the Lone Ranger watched the valley from a distant hill by day while Tonto stood watch at night. Then after several days and nights, Tonto saw the dark form of a man creep cautiously into each one of the waterholes. The Indian gave the shadowy form time to get out of the valley. And then... Now we go! Get him out of the scout! Tonto headed for the well-hidden camp in the hills where the Lone Ranger was waiting. When he arrived there, he brought scout to a rearing halt. Oh, oh, scout! Tonto! The masked man was awakened on his feet in an instant. Him! Him go there! You're sure of that? Hunter sure. Here's a little bit. Give me a hand, Tonto. I don't have any time in cinching up. Make up. You know where you're to go. Hunter, get Sheriff. Come on, Morton. A little bit. A little bit ready now. Don't forget your parts. Tonto, not forget. Now we go! Yes! Get along! Get him up, scout! Silver! Riding like the wind, the masked man raised the Mustang Mags Ranch over the hills and into the adjoining land that Morton owned. When he reached Morton's house... Pull this, Silver! Go, Morton! Well, wait for guns. What's this for? What's this for? Morton, I want you. Now you'll see here a bullet. I'll show you! My hands! Don't try another gun. I'll have you jailed for this. Now you won't, Morton.  Come on, I want to talk to you. So does Mustang Mags. For what, Hamelone? Pooch! Get the boys! Get him a stomach! Let me go! Bless you! Let me back, Pooch! I'm taking your boss to call on Mustang Mags. It was late in the evening, but Mustang Mags' house was lighted and Missouri was there, complaining as usual.  Mag, are you sure you know what you're doing? If you doubt that I know what I'm doing, get back to the bunkhouse. You hanker to stay here and satisfy that ordinary curiosity. Of course, keep quiet and do what you're told. Is everything set in another room? Yeah, something just like what you said. You'll bury you. Then shut the door there. I hear a hoax coming now. Maybe that's Morton. Oh, ho, ho, ho. It is. That's the man. It's Morton as well. You'll see. I'm ready for you. Morton didn't want to come at first, Mag. This is some sort of a trickle-heavy old jail.  It's the idea of having that man get me like he done. Why couldn't you just send words you want to see me? I asked the masked man to get you and I didn't care how. Morton, you're still hanker to buy this outfit? I don't know why. It looks like I may have to sell out. Yeah? I feared the common will chase you on account of the sheep, eh? I ain't said so. Missouri, get a pitcher of water. I don't know as I'm interested in buying right now. I thought you figured I'm selling the sheep. Well, gave you that idea, Morton. Well, I know that. But one man knows that and that's Mr. Higgins. You talk to him? Why should I? There's the water. I reckon it must be dry after you ride, ain't you? Yeah. I just figured I'd see how high it'd go for the ranch and then if the price was high enough. I don't know as I'm interested. Missouri, better go fill the pail again. You got to go way out to the water hole, you know. What's that? What's the matter with the water? Well, I'm having trouble with the whale. Missouri got a pail from one of the holes a while ago, but slot most of it totin' a bag. What? What's the matter with you? I thought the water tasted salty. It's poisoned. That water's poisoned. You're crazy, Morton. We've been using it right along. I tell you it's poisoned. Give me a doctor.  How do you know it is poisoned? What makes you think so? What's done it? I tell you, I know. Hurry, help me. What's poisoned the water hole? Is that what you say? Yes, yes, you gotta help me. Why did he do that? Don't ask questions now. In the name of mercy, help me. Listen to me, Morton. Let go of me. Do not get help until you tell more about this. Later on, later on, a doctor. You think you can stop the poison? I feel fate already. Those things are live out, babe. Why did you poison that water? You do tell them to help. Help, help. You do? Yes, I told them to.  It wouldn't kill them, only the sheep. Make them sick, but it'd kill a man. You wanted to make them sheep look so poor that Mag couldn't sell them, is that it? Yes, yes, that's it. You wanted her to keep them here so the cattlemen would turn on her. You knew she was going to sell them. Yes. You wanted us to spoil that sale. Isn't that right? Yes, yes, yes. That's the truth. That's all right then, Morton. The only thing wrong with that water was that it had a little salt in it. What?  I didn't do it.  You're treacherous. If you hadn't been a crooked hodge, you'd never have taken the suggestion Higgins made. And you did take that suggestion. Higgins? We all been waiting in the next room for this, Morton. You crook. All you needed was the suggestion I'd give you and you acted on it. What you mean? You mean I ain't going to die? No, but you're going to jail. I'm getting madder all the time. Just to think of that scheme and rap. Trying to poison my girl's cattle. Your girl? Me and you. There's my brother, Mag. Yes, I'm prepared.  How do you come into this anyhow? Why did them sheep come here? Morton, I met a friend of mine, Higgins. He wanted to borrow money for a few days and leave his herd as security until his brother could get here. Mag loaned him the money. I asked Higgins to call on you with the suggestion you carried out. Yeah, and the fence is handled so as none of the water holes will be used till they're pure again. And the sheriff wants evidence. He can draw a sample of the water. I won't need none. We got these for witnesses. I'm getting madder and madder. I'll get you for this. I'll get you. You won't get away with it. Give me room. Put on the chin. I reckon that'll hold him till we get cuffs on him and take him to the jail. Help me tow them outside, boys. Come on, man. Your idea worked out first rate, friend. I thought Morton would find the scheme one that he could use. Now, Dad read it, Mag, while I'm fighting, Mag, I'm asking what's been on my mind for 10 years. We are. Won't you marry me? Sure I will. You never asked me before.  What's the promise? You won't fight no more. Why should I make a promise like that? Because you don't know your own strength. Just look at Morton, honey. Why am I to killed him?  It is a copyrighted feature of the Lone Ranger Incorporated.


Irving of course for Cavalier. This is how they all shape up. Cavalier, J.D. White is between the sticks here. Share the position himself and Vino Barclay, but J.D. White in pretty good form. Leng has been consistent this season in that starting lineup, even with the absence of Kyle Ming, who plays today, and Richard King, who is out on national duty. Gadel Irving, the captain, Christopher Innsworth will play in the wide ears. Ronaldo Barric, good to see him back in the starting lineup recovering from injury. Quinn Thompson at a late entrance into the start in 11 at the expense of Dwayne Allen, who picked up a knock in warm-up. Shanil Thomas, our player to watch, Shamar Watson-McLeary, and Jalmaro Calvin, their leading goal scorer, complete the start in 11. Expecting a 4-3-3, but we know that Rudolph Speed and Cavalier are a team that like to switch it up for these big games, but a lot of positionally fluid players in this Cavalier lineup, so expect to see a lot of that. Portmore themselves can morph their lineup at times, Tyrone Williams between the sticks and not the Benjamin Variety, O'Keele Howard, Stephen Young, Alvinus Meyersley, St. Lucian back into the starting lineup, Jaheen Rose, Aki Mollies, Alex Marshall, the captain and player to watch. Emilia Rousseau wore the captain's armband for quite a bit this season. Stephen Barnett, who made the transfer from Dumbledore Holdings earlier this season. Jamari Morrison and Martin Davis, who has lost form Martin Davis, finds his way. Alexi Perri in charge of this big picture. Portmore in their full blow with Redtrim, doing some defending. Cavalier shows a bit of energy in the first moments. Kyle Ming with the strike was going well wide and probably would have picked out a teammate at the back post. And then this moment for Martin Davis hesitated with the shot, pulled it back and then this decision was the wrong one when Alex Marshall was free on the penalty spot to start away. What Alex Marshall didn't know is that he would have another chance from the penalty spot. Minutes later, but then Shanil Thomas cut onto his left-hand side, he was leading the attack for the Cavalier team. And then this moment Stephen Barnett bundled over into the box and Alexi Perri point into the spot. Rightful penalty for Portmore and Alex Marshall made no mistake. St. JD in right wrong way and his left foot made no mistake. Third of the season, 1-0 Portmore after 36 minutes. This was the second half, the first minute of it and Kadeel Irving, the captain of Cavalier hitting the crossbar. They would find the frame three or four occasions. This moment inside the area, Davis just couldn't organize himself. His footwork wasn't the best, Davis and his head couldn't find the right direction. Then this on the edge of the area, Howard letting fly just wide as Portmore continued to attack. Then Cavalier finding this opportunity, McCleary with the strike initially. The captain Irving driving into there, McCleary again, and then Calvin finding the frame of the goal for the second time, Cavalier. Calvin, their leading goalscorer, had the beating of Williams but not the goal post and it remained 1-0. Then Portmore driving into the area, Alex Marshall looking for a second of the game but couldn't find the target over the top for the Portmore captain. A last minute opportunity for McCleary, heading it over Williams but again for the third time the crossbar. Then letting fly Tyrone Williams probably was missing the target and Williams was making sure a clean sheet for him and a big three points for Portmore United, 1-0 over Cavalier. 90 minutes of football, just four shots on target between two big teams in this league. 12-10 from Cavalier, 9 from Portmore United. The accuracy, well wasn't at its best to say the least. 23 fouls and five yellow cards shown from Alexi Perry. Cavalier certainly getting frustrated as the match worn on, wore on and you could see that in terms of the fouls and cards. They enjoyed majority of the corners and they had majority of the possession as well but for the third time in a row they have been unable to break down this Portmore defense who have the best defensive record in the league. Yeah a big three points for Phillip Williams and his team. Portmore United 1-0 winners, let's talk to our man of the match, the captain, the goal scorer Alex Marshall. Yeah today's man of the match Alex Marshall, captain for today as well. You got the pivotal goal but you did a lot of work off the ball also. How did you describe your performance? You know it wasn't the best performance for myself but you know I helped my team defensive so I'm grateful for that and we got the three points you know but I'm congratulating my teammates as well and the coaching staff. You know you've been drawing a lot of games lately but I'm sure this win has given you a lot of confidence beating a big Cavalier team especially going into the playoffs. Yeah you know it's always good to be Cavalier you know tough opponent they got a few chances which could have the game could have went either way but you know thankfully for our goalkeepers and our defender you know we kept a clean sheet. And you're seen as a Talisman for this team rightfully so a player of your quality what how far do you think this Portmore United team can go? Are you eyeing the title? Yeah we're eyeing you know the title but you know we want to get back into the CFU and that's the aim right now but you know we just taking it one game at a time and hopefully this top two are you know a chance for the pre-off. Excellent performance today great win also best of luck for this season. Thank you.


How do we avoid being tricked by Satan in order to achieve health and religion? The story of Bal Aam and Aura has an important point for all of us. People like Sharifi Namiri and Abu Hamza Abutani have moral points for all of us as well. Based on the Arabic culture, Satan plays on both ropes, indeed he is. Because he can make people care less about purity and filthiness, and in case he does not succeed, he makes them obsess on everything as well as purity and filthiness. Health and religion does not come easily and naturally to people, it comes at a price. Hence, the price is to teach yourself until you reach the point that when death is mentioned, you wouldn't think about anything other than health and religion. You're going to have to put an effort voluntarily to achieve that goal. The bottom line is, we should confront all of our internal and external enemies to have health and religion. On one hand, Satan, along with human lust, holds us back. And on the other hand, different feelings like jealousy, anger and so on so forth fight back to hold us.


Teaching ESL vs EFL. What's the difference? ESL is English which is usually taught to students in an English speaking country. EFL is English which is taught to students in a foreign, non-English speaking country. As it is true of many European countries, whereas common to learn to speak more than one foreign language. For these reasons ESL is typically the term used in the United States and English speaking nation, whereas EFL is more often the term of choice in countries where English is not the native language. This post was written by RT EFL certification graduate Sumera why please note that this blog post might not necessarily represent the beliefs or opinions of ITTT. What's ESL? What's EFL? In learning ESL, the learner is learning English within an English environment. In this case, English is spoken outside the classroom. The learner here learns English to understand and speak it outside the classroom. The situation is different in EFL learning, the learner learns English inside a classroom, but continues to speak her his own language when leaving the classroom. An example of an ESL situation is a Japanese boy who emigrates with his family to America. He speaks Japanese at home with his parents, but during the rest of the day and at school, he must speak English. He needs to learn enough English to be able to keep up with his schoolwork and communicate well with his schoolmates. On the other hand, the Egyptian girl learning English in an Egyptian school learns English as a foreign language. She must understand and speak English only during her English lessons, perhaps three times a week. The rest of her day in school and at home, she will speak her own language. It doesn't matter if she doesn't know much English or if she learns slowly, this will not affect her day-to-day life in and out of school as it would for the Japanese boy. Teaching ESL vs. Teaching EFL Teaching ESL is different from teaching EFL. This difference influences the content and methods used to teach the English language. In many ESL classes students learn general English that helps them feel comfortable in school and communicate well with their new friends. They are also taught the kind of English language and skills that will help them to be successful in their other classes, history, mathematics etc which are all in English. This is typical of most programs in ESL situations. Students have extensive daily exposure to English speaking culture, although their understanding may be limited by their language skills. In many EFL classes English is often taught in a traditional way, i.e. based on step-by-step learning of a number of grammatical structures in a graded order of difficulty. As the learner has to master the language in his class and has no chances to practice English outside his class, the methods and techniques chosen should allow him or her to use the language both fluently and accurately. These techniques should ensure maximum exposure to the language. English is often taught in a traditional way based on step-by-step learning of a number of grammatical structures in a graded order of difficulty. ESL students need hands-on English lessons suitable for their immediate needs. If you've got a class full of recent immigrants struggling with how to fill out forms, teach them to fill out forms. If you've got a group of foreign doctoral students, teach them how to talk to their academic advisors. There may be a place for general grammar instruction, but not until more pressing needs are met. 2. Explicit cultural instruction These students come from many places, all very different from your classroom. Teach them about your cultural norms. Teach them how to get along in your society. Tell them how people from your culture see their culture. You might not think this is traditional English teaching, but it will generate fascinating discussion. Understanding culture is an invaluable step towards fluency. 3. Bridges towards integration As an ESL teacher, you may not consider yourself a guidance counselor, but be ready to suggest concrete ways for your students to address their daily problems in your local community. Whether that means referring them to an Immigrant Assistance Association or helping them apply for a job online, you're likely to be the first person they ask for help. Equip yourself with the knowledge you need and be ready to do more research when asked. ESL students need 1. Lots of practice using English, especially orally. Get them speaking in the classroom, but also teach them where to find opportunities to practice speaking English outside of class and reward them for doing so. 2. Exposure to living English Never lead your students to believe that English is a set of rules and words to memorize. It is the living, breathing creation of cultures and communities around the world. Do whatever you can to reveal this depth. Pan pals, non-traditional teaching materials and field trips are great ways to make English come alive for your students. 3. Reasons to learn English and motivation to stick with it English can be very theoretical when you're growing up in a village in Belarus. Find out about each student's other passions and tie English into them. There are so many English communities online and off that it's possible to find a tie in for almost any other area of interest. Social networks are powerful tools. Do you need to take your TEFL course? Apply now for your TEFL TESOL certification course and start teaching in a matter of months.

Now that we have an authenticated player logged, we can do the fun stuff. In this video, we are going to make a leaderboard with the 10 highest scores of the game. Let's do it. The first thing we need to do is to go to our loot locker dashboard and go to the game that we want to add a leaderboard. So in this case, there's a new game here. And then we go to systems, leaderboards, and we can create a new one. Here we can insert a name to the leaderboard. I think that I will go with tests. The second one is optional, but if you want to, you can name it whatever you like. So you can refer it on the API call instead of the idea of the leaderboard. This one is important because the first one player, the type of leaderboard, a player leaderboard, will automatically use the player's name when retrieving scores. But this player name is internal on loot locker. So it's how loot locker name the players. So it can get it from the PlayStation network. I think that even the player, the Google Play service as well. So in our case, because I'm going to use this API for HTML games instead, I will go with a generic one. And we are going to pass the player name as a metadata. So we are going to enable this enable metadata here because when we make the API call, we are going to pass the player name as a metadata. We are going to retrieve it as a metadata as well. Then we have to enable the game API rights because this is how we allow the loot locker servers to accept API calls to change the data of the leaderboard. With that, we can save that. And we have a leaderboard on the loot locker servers. This is important. This is the idea of this leaderboard. So we are going to copy that because we are going to use that when we make API calls. So let's see how the API looks like. Okay, this is the API call that we should make when we want to submit a new score to the leaderboard. We should make a request, a post request to this URL. But instead of using this number right here, the number one, we are going to use the leaderboard ID or the board key, as you can see here in the URL structure. We go to game, leaderboards, then we send the leaderboard ID or its key, slash submit. Then on the request data, we are going to send a JSON dictionary that has the score and some metadata. This is not mandatory. This is optional. But we took out the metadata so we enable the metadata so we can send the player's name as well. So we can send the player's name together with the score. Then on the header, we can see that we need to send this content type, application JSON. But on Godot Engine, this is not enough. We should also send the session token together in the header. This is why having a successful player logged in and not dedicated is important for us. So let's see how this goes. So on Moon Chaser, this is how it goes. When players make a local high score, so they have a variable that saves high scores on the machine, so locally, the game will transition to this screen. So this screen has this line edit, which is what players use to submit the name. So we are going to use this text here, so let's say Sakaki. We are going to use this text here as the player's name. So we are going to send this text together with the player's score as a metadata. When we make the API request. And then you can see that we have here a high score HTTP request node, which is what this high score screen uses to make the actual HTTP request. So this is what it uses to make the API call. Let's see how this works. So the first thing that it does is that it fades out this rect here, the fade rect. Then the important part goes here. So we have this URL. You can see that it is what we saw previously. But you can see that I'm using here the name of the game. But this is actually a key that I use for my leaderboard. So the custom key, right? So instead of the leaderboard ID, I'm using a leaderboard key. But instead, you can use your leaderboard ID. Let's see this. So copy and paste it here. Then the header. And you can see that we have this content type application slash JSON. But we also have this. So we have a comma because this is an array. And we also have this part right here. X session token. And then a placeholder string. Then we replace this placeholder with the loot locker token. So the value that we gather on the previous video. So if you are curious to know how do we get this value here, you can watch the previous video because when we have an authentication, we set this value, the token value to be the token that we get back from the loot locker service, right? Then we have the method, which is method post. And then the request data, which is a dictionary with the score. So we have here the singleton with the high score. Then the main bear idea, which is the loot locker singleton player ID value. And then the metadata, which is the line edit text. So whatever the player submitted on this line edit node here. So in this case, Sakaki. Then we make the HTTP requests using these values. Don't forget to convert the request data to a JSON file. And then we yield for the HTTP request, which is this high score HTTP request node to finish the request, complete the request. And then we transition to the next scene, which is going back to... Oh, which is the other part of this video, which is the leaderboard screen. So let's see how this works. And this is the leaderboard screen. So when the high score screen finishes up, so when it finished sending the high score to the server and the server actually get the high score, it switched to this scene. Players can actually get here from the main menu as well as we saw in the beginning of this video. So this scene works like this. We have the leaderboard HTTP request, which is a HTTP request node. So let's see how this works. It has a method, which is the get board method, which firstly tells the network state label to show the loading board, the loading board animations. Then we have the URL, which is similar to the previous URL. But right at the end, so we have the game slash leaderboards, the leaderboard key or the leaderboard ID. So let's see if this is on the clipboard. And then we have this part of the URL, which is important because this is actually how many entries we want to get from the servers. In this case, we are using just 10 entries. So we are just getting the first 10 entries from this call. Then we have the header. And you can see that we have the content type, application slash JSON. And we are using the token as well. So X session token. And then we are using the loot locker token to replace the placeholder here. And for the first time in this series, I guess, we are using the method get for the HTTP request method. So we make the request using the URL, the header. We don't want any SSL protocol. Then we use the method here. Then we use for the response and we access the fourth index of this response, which if you saw the previous video, you know that is the request body. So we convert this body to a string. And then we convert this string to a dictionary. This is the call, the API call that we are making. So you can see that this is the request that we are making. We use the get method to this URL. And we are going to get this response. So this is a sample response. So we are getting something like that on our game on grow. So the items is a key that is an array that contains some data from the player. So from as many players as we are getting, we are going to do the following. We are going to make the items which we saw is an array, right? As the value of this board variable here. And each item of this array is a dictionary, right? So each item of the items key that we are getting from the response is a dictionary as well with some data that we want to get. So for instance, the score. And here if we have a player leaderboard, it actually returns the player as well. But instead we are going to use the metadata key. The leaderboard, let's see the design of the leaderboard here because it's quite important for the next part of this. So the leaderboard is a panel with a screw container that has a vertical box container as well. Each item of this vertical box which is the player list is a, let's see right here, a board entry instance. So let's open this scene right here. So in file system, board entry. So this board entry is basically a horizontal box container that has two labels which one represents the player's name and the second one represents the score of the player. So let's open the script. And when it is ready, it updates the labels. So we can set the player name variable value and the player score variable value. And when it's ready, it updates the labels to the labels text so we can match the value of these variables here. So back to the leaderboard screen. Let's open the top node script here. So we yield for the HP request node to finish doing what it does to get the board. So this node here, so it finished this function. And when it does, we run through each item of the board. We saw that the board is an array, right? And we create an instance of the board entry scene for each one of these entries. So for each one of these items that are in the HP request board variable. And then we set the entry, which is the instance of the board entry scene, the entry player name to match the metadata of the item that we are getting from the leaderboard. And then the score to match the score key of this dictionary. So just to remember everything up, each item of the board array is a dictionary. So we go through them and access the key, the metadata key, then the score key, and then we add each entry as a child of the player list. When everything finished up, we tell the network state label to show that the board is loaded. And when we do that, we get this. So let's play the game. We are going to get an authenticated player. When we go to the leaderboard, it loads the leaderboard and it fails. Oh yeah, because at this point, we don't have any player, right? So we don't have any entry on the leaderboard. So let's add some entries to the leaderboard. Let's do that. So let's make a quick run so we have some score to play with. So we have an authenticated player logged in. Let's play the game. And let's wait for something to happen. I think that this should do the trick. Okay, let's die. So let's say the player's name, the player's nickname, enter, and we have a board loading, board loaded. And there we have it. It's a kake with a score of 60. Now that we have a score entry on our leaderboard, we can actually manage it on the LootLocker dashboard. Let's see how this goes. So I'll switch to this camera. Let's go to the LootLocker systems, leaderboards, and we have the task leaderboard here. So let's view the scores. And there we have it, the score with 16 points, 60 points. So let's update this. Let's say that the players pay something to us. And let's change this to, let's say, a 2000. Save this. Then back to the game. Let's go here. Play the game. And we have a player logged in. Let's see the leaderboard here, loading board. And there we have it. Sakaki now has a score of 2000. So this is it for this video, guys. I really hope that you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching. On the next one, we are going to see how we can make assets and manage players inventory. So I hope to see you there. Thank you so much for watching. Keep developing and until the next time.


folks is Brian Andrus. Brian is the president of Andrus Development Group. Andrus Development Group is the is a trademark and brand of Stone Ridge real estate company. They are currently renovating an abandoned 380,000 square foot condominium in Clearwater, Florida into top line luxury residence. You can visit them at Marina Bay 880.com. And I can tell you a flat out folks, okay? If you're looking for the St. Pete Clearwater area, you got to check this out. This is one of the most beautiful places in the world. Yes, I'm prejudice, okay? Because we're St. Pete now, but I was actually right on clear on Cleveland Street. So I know this project very well. And when you see what you're looking out at, it's pretty amazing. There's no doubt about it. Brian, welcome to TFNN. Thank you very much, Tom. I appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Absolutely. So first off, you have a great space and you can Google this on Google Earth folks, okay? And Google it, do a 33 North Garden Avenue. And you'll pull this up and you'll see what this looks like. So tell us what I'd love to get into first. Tell us the challenges of taking over, you know, a development that basically was stalled. Well, it goes like this. Let me give you a little historic and give you the context of this, Tom, if I may. Yes, please. What it was and what we actually aren't, even though there was an article saying we're rehabbing it, what I inherited and what I purchased was dirt, was grass, was a lot surrounding a marina. And the in 2006, if we all remember that, it was a tough time, but there was a project going here, this here being 880 North Oceola Avenue in Clearwater. Okay. I had leased and sold a very small property next door and the first said, hey, listen, the guy who did the marina here, he did a very nice job, put in new seawalls, lifts, water, electric, very nice. He was trying to build a high and dry here and it wasn't going. So I ended up buying the property from him. But that's 2000, that's moving back to 2019. Now, going back to 2006, there was a large project here envisioned by somebody else. And that did not take off, but they had piles in the ground, Tom, 300 or so piles in the ground. We're able to use some of those. We took all this dirt and then we built brand new. We just finished this 308,000 8 to 8 story buildings, 87 condos. And what I realized is that having met a lot of very sharp people here in the Bay Area that includes Larry Feldman and Jeff Finick and just a lot of different people. And people you know, people you've never seen, Steve, Gene, there's a lot of potential here in this area. And when I remember when I was speaking with Jeff Finick and he said, excuse me, with Kevin down in Sarasota developer, he said, where are you developing? I said, well, Clearwater, you know, and I kind of said it in a way I wasn't sure how to say it. He goes, well, no, hang on. He goes, I was asked to go up to St. Petersburg 12 years ago. And I said, forget it. That place is dead. Yeah, look at it today. So he said Clearwater. This goes back about three years ago. He goes Clearwater. It's just you've got Tampa doing its thing. You've got St. Pete taken off like it is Clearwater is natural next. And it's true. There's a lot going on here. You mentioned some things we're doing 33 North Garden Avenue is happens to be a 12 story office building that we did rehabilitate. And that building is now home to a billion dollar company, unicorn company called know before. So that's gone very well. We've done a little projects in the area. But it as you know, although you're in the financial markets for the main, what we have to do here in this county and Pinellas is really make lemonade out of lemon because a lot of the stuff that we're doing now is transforming the environment or taking something that was there and making it something brand new or renovating something we have. There's no doubt. And, you know, for all the folks out here, as Brian just mentioned, a very large company know before. Okay, Stu and Lars. Okay, they started this company. Okay, this is a very big security company. I was actually right next to them.  And then when he started it, it was like amazing him and Lars, they were the pictures folks. I actually saw this. They were next to us at I was at this 600 Cleveland, I think. That's right. There was two, there was two people. And now that's a billion dollar company. So there's no doubt you're in the right spaceman. So let's talk about, well, it's done now. So that's cool. So you got ahead of the aspect of now people having problems getting appliances, they're having all that. So you're up and going ready to sell these things, right? We're actually we've got almost two thirds sold now. Our people are moving in starting next week. That's awesome. So we just we just literally finished. And the the interesting thing about it is this area needed a spark. It needs something to Yes, others to get going. So we want to just set a mark and say, look, here's something very beautiful. That's on a marine. It's on the water. It's not near. It's actually on the water. Why don't you check it out? But we're going to do it in a way that takes all our talents are meaning the team I have my wife who's dynamic and put that all together and create something. And we've just got great reviews. I'd love to have you up Tom when you have a chance and we'll show you we can go see the know before building again and walk through and say hi to Stu and stuff that you can. We're only about four blocks from him. So we'll just pop over here and take a look at this. It's really a nice landmark and we've got just great reviews from veteran brokers from buyers of all all aspects of life. And I can tell you folks, no matter where you are in the United States. Okay. This is an incredible spot. You know, Brian, I came out of Boston 25 years ago. And when I came down here, I was looking like, Oh, my God, like this is unbelievable.  You're looking out the window. When you look out the window here, folks, if you have a bad day, well, I can't help you, man. I don't think anyone can help you. So let me ask you, where are the buyers coming from? Great question. Yesterday. Actually, that was this morning. Wasn't that this morning, Kevin? Yeah, this morning, we had a Dr. Jay from California, Southern California. Yeah. Actually, well known doctor. Very nice guy. He and his family purchased one this morning. So they're from Los Angeles, moving out here. We have a yesterday afternoon, somebody came down and they're picking something in there from Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Right. Because the value proposition here is amazing compared to, you know, these other cities, what even even when we're talking across the other coast, I mean, the value proposition is as good as you get as far as I can see. Yeah, that's true. And you know, when I first came here 25 years ago, I thought I had hit a gold rush. I couldn't believe the prices. And I was a little jaded. And so I remember telling the real estate agent, I said, look, should I offer 210? Because they're asking 200. And he looked at me and he said, what are you from California? I said, actually, yes. So anyway, we ended up getting this property for 200. But I was ready to pay more. And so you're right, there are a lot of people from the Northeast or from actually all over.  It's great because we're getting the jobs now too.  So it's pretty incredible. Listen, folks, okay, the website is marina880.com. Go down and check it out, man. I mean, to check it out and Google. Hey, Tom, 880 Marina Bay, Marina Bay 880. Sorry, man. Well, listen, Brian, you have a great one, safe one. We look forward to having you on again. I look forward. Listen, man, I definitely want to see this place. It's a beauty. I appreciate the invitation. Got an invite. Thank you, man. Have a great one. Have a safe one. You too. Okay, bye bye. Stay right there folks to come right back.
