Merry Christmas everybody and good morning from it for myself and everyone here at Cybertrain University on Christmas Eve Everybody's doing good to see you. Good to see you Ken Good morning Donna mark. Good to see you Lita. Merry Christmas. Good to see you all All right I'm good to see you Gary everybody. I hope I grant Merry Christmas Neil. Merry Christmas to you everybody So it looks you know very interesting a lot of you guys did show up this morning You know like I said money never sleeps right especially what's been happening with the market my god We have the they said we had the biggest correction in the market in seven years and You know, I just want to throw it out there You know, I said it earlier, but this really reminds me a lot more like 2007 2008 with the banking crisis and You know, we always have it every eight years every eight years There's always some type of a of a correction and you know, this one was just obviously was a little bit late You know, if you go back, you know, look at all the years it's always like an eight-year correction, but the market always finds a way to come back and All I'm all I could say right now regarding about what's happened in the market If you did what I told you to do and you bought that insurance policy on that ETF You probably did pretty well, but on your swings. Let me tell you people are getting Destroyed crushed, you know and cash is king now. Listen, I'm long two positions right now, and I'm getting kind of a little beat up right now That's terrible. I mean, I mean Not like some other people. I mean I didn't lose half my money, you know, some of these people got correct crushed I'm down like maybe like 10 15% you know on on on two trades on the CSQ and on GE I did buy GE, you know, and It's at a major support level. So I'm gonna, you know, like I said, I'm holding on from there But let me tell you if there's any Stocks out there as a day trader This is a you know, you really it's kind of hard to trade on the downtrend as much on a market down Because you know because when you down so much people like is this really the bomb? Is this really the bottom? So, you know, unless you're there's a lot of chaos going on with shorting and everything else but, you know, we're we're we're gonna be testing some major support levels and Listen, you know, just listen really closely what happens In the White House to see what they do at the Federal Reserve There was rumors that he was gonna fire the guy from the Federal Reserve President Trump and then I said it was not true So they just a lot, you know, the it's incredible how everything is so news driven But but I expect this was gonna happen You know, a lot of people made a lot of money in the market a lot of mutual funds did they wanted a cash in this Has been going on since October With this with this market and it's just more or less when it rains it starts pouring on in December But I honestly I never seen a market like this out of the 25 years I've done business never seen it this bad, you know at this time of the year I've seen a lot of bad markets in my time and usually you get them in like in March or August or, you know You always get a, you know, April crash because of the tax season, you know You know during the summertime I never see one around Christmas time. So the silk will call it the Christmas crash If that has a little ring to it, but but listen guys, there's gonna be some really really good buys Really good buys. So I hope a lot of people are sitting with some cash But you know, we're day traders here and to be a very good swing trader You got to be a very good day trader. So as a day trader, we know what's happening in the market We see what's moving. We see how the market's moving. Listen there. I look at like listen Apple, I mean 149 from the high of 230. I mean just literally lost everything almost all the way down to 2017 lost everything in one month that it took two years to get there. I mean the video All of them all of them that all of them that that that was up huge and he's all brand-name stocks I mean, I can go down the list. There's just so many of them You know all the technologies that even AMD They work so hard to get where they're at But you could see like you know and I have AMD on my watch list guys a lot of us or AMD You know in the middle of the year go from ten dollars to almost 40, you know, listen, there are some good buys I mean this stock goes on a dollar more You just gotta you just gotta listen there's gonna be a little cushion. You got to get in there You know, you got to buy it somewhere close to near that floor It's very hard to buy at the floor and sell at the ceiling, you know good traders always buy in between They'll just get ready regarding what's going on now on Regarding what happened on Friday listen, there were a couple of stocks I just want to touch upon those and you know and cover some of those but there were some good runners MRIN was a nice little they spelled wrong There it is MRIN came up that had a couple of nasty shakes But you know we listen we didn't really find that much in pre-market But but this one, you know what's it the market opened up it did go from seven to ten in you know about three hours So that one wasn't bad the DB VT that one also had a great pop right at the close. I don't know where that came from but boom That thing just took right off Once again stock got destroyed from 25 all the way down to five So we had a little bit of a dead cat bounce, you know I always like to trade these dead cat bounces You want to get really really crushed because you always get these people want to average down just like what we're seeing right now So the same exact thing that you're seeing what's happening in the market if you'll notice like stocks like this one How they rebound is exactly how we would trade today's markets. So that's we have to look at it Yeah, one of you just mentioned Ferrari to yeah race look at it. It's at 90. It's that look at that What is that the last trade trading around? 98 I Mean $150 stock. I mean we had some really good runs on some of these stocks So listen, I'm just gonna say this a lot of you guys wish that you said don't I wish I still had Amazon I'm gonna bring up that one Amazon's down to what 1300 1350 from all the way down to 2100 So there's some buys that people thought like I wish I coulda woulda shoulda, you know Well, guess what wake up because it's gonna be coming soon. So cash is king right now Now says Powell were were fired replaced. How would you play that? You know David?  Remember, we're just the ants. Okay, we're just the ants and There's no way that I'm gonna go out there and ever say I think this what's gonna happen Or that's what's gonna happen this guy leaves or this guy gets elected and this guy gets fired Because I've done that and there's so many more times than others that there's more more people out in the street I don't know how the street thinks other than from experience. I'll tell you what I would do an experience if it, you know chaos Unfortunately makes Katash makes opportunities for all of us. So you just got it as a day trader We're in cash, right? So how do we play it? Let's see how the street plays it and then we'll play it and just be in cash That's the way how we have to look at it. It does doesn't doesn't it feel great Jerry to be in cash Doesn't it feel like awesome that you know here you have people crying and screaming what's going on and But us as traders, this is why you can't get political and you know wish that this is gonna crash That's gonna go off of this guy. You were all the same thing cash is king always cash is king And you very rarely get opportunities like that. I'm gonna repeat this again, you know, you want this to happen So because I know a lot of us do have some cash on the side that we because remember when we day trade You don't need a lot of money to do this. We don't need a lot. All right, so What do you do with the rest of the money? People's like, well, what do you do with it? Well, listen, I do do some swing trading, you know, but it's unfortunately that I Didn't want to chase. I mean a lot of things were pretty big So you got your opportunities coming. So anyway, a couple of stocks. We'll keep an eye on this morning We got the MICT. That's moving That one is up right now 44%. This is the only one that I really see as a very inexpensive stock that's moving I don't think it's gonna be extremely that volatile looking at previous previous Movement what the stock has done in the past but that one's not terrible, you know As in what working off the big percentage gainers and losers DWT another one not up a lot.   This is pretty funny. I want to point this out. Look at this stock right here HSGX, I just looked at it earlier down 73 percent. This stock Was about three dollars got crushed if you guys remember it went down to like 50 cents some of us would trade on a dead cat bounce and Some people like oh maybe we'll come back or go back to where it was and look at it now It's at like 10 cents. It's reminds me of HMNY, you know another one down 72 percent I mean, you might get a little dead cat bounce on this, but just this is not a Throw in a watch list just because we're in a day trade has some fun on it Just be very careful though. Okay. That's the only one that probably looks a little interesting.  I Was pretty fun stock and then we have to have ETFs. That's it. All right guys anything. I'm missing. I did not call out. I Keep fading out Lita, maybe because I'm moving my face a little away from the mic We raise the volume for you. Hopefully out those a little better. All right anything else guys that we're missing All right, good. So anyway regarding about What's going on today? Remember today's a half a day. So I'll be busy cooking. So, you know We're very light staff today. So the CTU you always want to take care of our employees So a lot of them are going to be just doing their thing It's I don't expect it to be a very crazy market, but we are down right now. So we'll see how how it plays out I just want this year to end That's basically what I'm looking at And look at some great buying opportunities, but in the meantime everyone I wish everyone a happy and healthy happy holidays Merry Christmas and Like I said, we'll see what happens going into the new year. All right fast UPS and FedEx shipping some of your dishes I'll send them over to you again. I'll take some good photos All right, Merry Christmas everyone. Good luck today. Happy trading


for a genuine reason if i had everything and i stayed in so uh yeah it was a couple of days i just stayed in there it's a footpath the footpaths up with me were up in clean care direction would be there i saw a person out doing footpaths in donning old town around the school it's handy enough i don't know why they don't do it around the big towns particularly it's not you know it's a tractor with sort of like a fertilizer spreader they hogged it onto the footpath bomb up and down it doesn't take any time at all yeah it's the job done yeah yeah yeah okay oh i don't know getting in now to be my state now this morning was just treacherous yeah because it's just frozen frozen like i know sort of line of traffic trying to get out of your estate yeah i'm just visiting you over the last time well yesterday it's like driving on the last in my estate for the first time ever i i seen a car virtually almost do a full 360 uh somebody got low speed was coming into the estate and just it just kept going and there i've been in a car when that's happened at low speed thankfully yeah but it's the lack of control is yeah it's shocking yeah surreal to watch yeah you know i was quite close like i wasn't that close but i was like that's mad i watched a lot of those videos in tiktok i'm not gonna lie okay yeah okay yeah you know i really do uh i don't bother with don't bother twitter anymore just tiktok now do you watch the russian dash cam footage do you watch those no watch them they're crazy like i don't want to see anyone crashing well i don't want to see anyone crashing on motorbikes going into the back of cars or anything yeah it's not usually that cars sliding around and a bit of bumper to bumper action i'm that's what you're over right i don't want to see any seriously no i'm too soft uh i finished welcome to the chippendales last night on uh disney plus so interested to get your assessment of it fenula oh well your list yeah no no it is on my list but i haven't actually gotten as far as the end of it yet um i've watched the first three or so of it and i really like it because i think it's one of those stories that i mean if you liked palm and tommy you're gonna like this because it's very much very much in that kind of vein um kind of done in a gritty sort of a way there's a gritty sort of a feel to it that you kind of feel a little bit icky i thought when you're kind of watching some of it like and the same with the palm and tommy you just kind of felt a bit voyeuristic or something watching it and so it has a gritty sort of a feel to it which i suppose is supposed to be harking back to the time in which it was set up and it's a story that i knew nothing about that's it and that's the difficulty with not discussing it because i was lucky that i knew nothing about it but it's hard to discuss it without kind of is it well i think so i think it's hard to have talked about it without spoiling it too much for people because i think the majority of people wouldn't know the story behind it i mean like if you asked me anything about the chip that i would have assumed that it was either like a Hugh Hefner-esque person that was behind it or that it was like one of those guys in england that you know in the 80s and 90s set up boy bands you know the way the big string fellas or something that type of a that type of a person that kind of went oh here's something but it wasn't it was an indian immigrant it was an yeah an indian immigrant who'd just been in the country that worked in um petrol stations and he worked in a petrol station and just saved up all his money and he decided that he wanted to start a club and he felt that this was the way to go but being somebody who was very smart but didn't really understand the culture he started doing some research and he realized that at this time in america millions and millions of people were playing backgammon and he felt that the way to go was to set up a backgammon night club where people would come and play backgammon at all hours the day night shockingly it did not work for him and then it just work moves in different directions as to where um it eventually evolves into the chip i don't think it's a spoiler to say that the impression i got from it is that he never had a unique idea of his own and also he wasn't a very good businessman incredibly successful but i i'm thinking over all the episodes if now this is a representation of the man i don't recall him making one solid good well the original the original decision was his decision but was it he yes it was him that well according to oh yes of course now he did come up with the original decision and i will totally give him that but i don't disagree with you i don't disagree with you about the his natural business ability i think he probably did have as in he was a smart guy and you know what i mean he had saved his money and he had done this and he knew there was space for it but then i think he was way too open and trusting because he just had this picture in his head of who he wanted to become and he didn't really know how to get there so when people came into his life that in any way seemed to be able to help him i mean at one point he's handing out percentages that you're like i'm sorry has he sat down and actually added up how much he's giving away of this you know and when you're in and maybe i'm being wrong but my if you were to mention to me like nightclubs back in that time in america from all my tv watching alone you would assume it's kind of a shady business yeah you know the way as in it's like you think about any of the tv you watched there was a lot of shady stuff going on he kind of got caught in that also to uh i was watching it thinking thank god i don't really have anything you know because the more success you seem to accumulate the more money you seem to accumulate not for everyone of course but in a lot of these types of stories yeah nothing was ever enough for him uh you know it was it was ego um it was yeah it was jealousy i mean he you know a lot of what happened that was driven by just he just wanted more he could could not be content or satisfied with what he had now obviously he had made some silly decisions and that was eating the way at him but it just he went from a normal person into someone whose life was effectively destroyed by money and success or at least they're seeking to attain that yeah i think that's it and i but i think as well one of the things that sort of i that i felt in it as well is that you know there's kind of like that tone of underlying racism as well you know you have this indian guy he's over there and i'm saying indian i'm not even a hundred percent you know but he's over there he started this thing he spoke differently you know he had an accent as one we're going now obviously i totally assumed that they were exaggerated it in this show because they tend to do that based on the pal and tommy kind of thing but he did seem to speak with an accent that kind of thing and i think maybe that was also part of it when you saw him in the shop and that kind of thing when he started off working in the petrol station you could kind of get the feeling that that was what was going on but he himself should have known better and the story also relates the fact that he wasn't afraid to racial profile people in the interests of of of making money and it's a cut up in the american dream and it's exactly turned into the american nightmare yeah and also i think it's a good show it's not too long the episodes aren't too long and i think lots of people who like lots of different shows will enjoy it do you know what i mean it's kind of a good show for a couple or i do i agree because i think there's lots there's bits of it in it that you're like going cut it as i said i don't think many people know this story because well maybe i'm wrong but i pride myself on knowing a lot of scandal well no but hollywood and you know sort of that sort of california scandal and i can't believe that i didn't know any of these details whatsoever for those who aren't familiar with it the stripping dales are a male strip uh troop but they were part of popular culture over here i do remember pullouts in newspapers and stuff and i remember the collars that you'd see in the tabloids you know i do remember yeah the collars and cuffs so we probably should have learned of the dodgy and not only that but they're in the zeitgeist i don't think i think the like i would say that 90 percent of people in this country did know the story of the chip about dales but i would say 99 percent of the people in this country if you say the word chip and dales does not automatically think of furniture in you know 17th century whatever century england they automatically think a chance to go to see the chip and dales though the norman a piece of furniture but you know but i just think that like that's would be where people's minds go you know directly to the to the troops so it's it's it's just amazing to me that's that that's such a big uh you know wrongly because obviously people's lives are like but a big juicy story like this was in the background and that we didn't know anything about it and salman uh banjari steve banjari son now is a 33 year old stripper with his own stripping troop uh called uh stripping dales oh so what will you give it out of 10 son disney plus and i have to say i'm really uh liking it i would definitely give it a solid eight yeah there's a lot of stuff in it it's kind of a bit gritty there's which is again the palm and tommy thing that kind of felt a little bit sometimes watching it but it's definitely worth worth sitting down and watching it as you say it'll appeal to a lot of different people because there's people that'll just go for the actual story there's people that'll go for the kind of gossipy bit of it because as with param and tommy you kind of forget some of the cultural stuff that was happening in around that time as well and how this impacted that so there's lots of different kind of areas with it that's not just about sitting there you know okay i'm going to go 7.5 just because there's other stuff i've given that's slightly better eight recommend the playlist on netflix as a listener it's a series based on Spotify a scandinavian program about a coder that's a real whiz kid who with a partner starts the streaming service so interesting loved it something very different very good drama i would like that because i love the social network so i imagine i would like that too watch the first three episodes of the rig still undecided if i'll be going back to it even with some of the big names in it okay we're going to be getting michael's views on that very shortly um and anything else you've been watching let us know what you thought of welcome to the chippendales i'll wait 60 25 000 if indeed you did watch it or if you plan to watch it um or indeed the rig or any of the other shows or whatever you're watching um a lot of people majority of it back watching dancing on ice do you know what i mean that's uh an interesting enough show i used to love that it's i watched i was doing that today on the way walking up here with i hope you didn't hope you did a left with not quite as much grace as we might see on a sunday maybe maybe not legs a kimbo i just always said although there was a bit of controversy about one of the outfits one of the girls was wearing on it i didn't think you had any hundreds of people i thought it was two skimpy one of the girls out of lafeyland yeah but i mean she's wearing gosh what episode was this last sunday is it on the player we're all in the player but they're always wearing kind of skimpy stuff i haven't seen enough of it to i haven't seen enough of it to um to judge previous but if you ever watch the skating anyways in the olympics or i need that kind of stuff which i have to say it's so worth watching uh they're always wearing kind of like swathes of it because in between you see more on the the gymnastics floor i mean i i just think it's just like in between because in between the spots where you think you're seeing skin you're not seeing skin it's actually flesh colored material that's all it was there's yeah it wasn't a pick of her skin on show it was all yeah it wasn't even flesh actually it was it was darker than that so yeah it's just normally that's what it is it's like kind of a dark brown i think people also uh and when you see who's voted off first on shows often if a woman's good looking is that controversial she seems to not hang around very long i don't know why that is well it's because most people that uh that vote are young girls but why would you vote a good looking girl off if you're a young girl well because i think that's just the thing you get your vote tends to go towards the men towards the boys or two-evers like there's bound to be two or three lads from hollyhock so there's somebody from some you know there's a couple of young guys from different things and isn't that huge wouldn't you find that with any that love island any of those things i just can't believe that hundreds of people sat there in sunday like oh i tell you one thing i don't like what she's wearing which get me an email address i just don't that's kind of a york tracks and i think i think york tree i don't think it's glad you told me what it was but you know i'm sending a strongly worded email it's definitely you're definitely trying to do northern england there all right okay come here let's take a break we'll come back with the rig from uh my sorry michael i'm i'm gonna do the courtesy have you watched

non but first we say hello to louise conahan good morning louise how are you getting on and good great how are you doing good great how are you on the program right tonight january 20th 8 p.m uh you are in jimmy's winning matches is this the first show or the second week of shows this is the first show was it this is tonight will be the second show we had a show last night um but it was kind of a sparse audience due to the weather yeah well fair play to you for going on because actually there would have been a really strong argument for not so uh you're gonna have even more demand than over the next two nights tonight at 8 p.m tomorrow night uh saturday the 21st at 8 p.m and hopefully things will be certainly much safer for tomorrow and imagine much more safer for this evening in terms of getting out on the road so tell us the story that you uh is it you on your own on stage louise or is there yeah no it's me my own it's a one woman show um and it's called jimmy's winning matches so as you can imagine it's about donnie golf football and um it starts off uh on hill 16 and then we capture that moment you know that great moment in uh 2012 where lacy gets the ball and passes it across to murphy and murphy gets the goal so the whole story of the play is based the whole world of the play is based in between those two points so um it's it's really uh kind of like a snapshot in time and a kind of um it's looking at that um and it goes back over the character's life and various points in in her life in between the 2000 and or 1992 in 2012 yeah and that's a mixed bag of memories yeah very much so mixed bag so it goes through this the the the character's lifetime and it deals with grief um it deals with lots of different things there i compared to when you tune into hell and radio in the morning there and you can hear all the different stories and things that are going on and donnie go all at any one time and it goes through her life and it's a very um it's one of those things that deals with a lot of issues um and if you ask somebody to write a play about cancer or what's about donnie golf football about female football about the female story and donnie go all about the roads and everything else so you would look at them and go absolutely not there's no way but this play really really encapsulates all that so this is uh like a moment in time almost where your life flashes before your eyes it could have been done in a number of different scenarios why choose the football why choose this moment to sort of frame this story or to set the story within well you'll have to talk to kieran kelly about that um because he's a wonderful script writer have you not asked him have you not cared kieran can always kieran can always put the things a lot better than i can uh i can recite his words but uh you know um it's supposed for kieran it's it was the relationship that he had with football and the and the relationship it had with his own life um for me a growing up i was uh somebody who attended the matches and it might not necessarily have been for the football but uh it was a very social event and it was a beautiful community thing um and i think donnie golf football i think this country is county is very passionate about sport um and i think it's a great the g a is a massive contributor in terms of community um and i think too the football is uh and it is a good way to timeline um the character's life as well isn't it because i think it we can all probably remember whichever team we support where we were through the happiness and through the heartbreak being a club level or or a county level uh or a junior level or whatever it means it's a little bit like music and smell isn't it it's a g e a is so sort of intertwined with our lives it's it's really quite a nice way of time lining someone's life experiences and it shows all the highs and lows and it actually comes in at 70 minutes which is a happy coincidence but uh no extra time all right and i don't think the ref blows the whistle early anymore now like they might have in the past and louise from your perspective as an actor um i don't know if you've done you know a one woman um act before uh i suppose maybe you don't have to lie in anyone else so there's comfort in that but also too all eyes are on you as well so i imagine there's a range of emotions there when when taken on a role like this yes well greg i had been a theater actor for years and then uh just before covid um i don't know if anybody remembers mani mandals the history of ireland on stage so myself and john ronnie were in that and that was a two-hander and it was a fantastic piece um but it was very text heavy in that but i started kind of having a few difficulties with learning lines and things like that so i really lost confidence and i had stopped doing um theater shows nearly all together except for pieces that are up myself because there's something very handy about when you're ready to show yourself if you go wrong you can redirect but you know i can feel you like i'm so happy sitting in this environment where i've got control over everything right but if i were to try and present this show with somebody else pushing the buttons and what have you i would actually it would cause great anxiety and we might as well just put that word because that's exactly what it would be but in this situation i feel like i have that sort of control was is that sort of in the same space with you that maybe because they were your words that you had yeah well there was that but as well as that i do a lot of street theaters so i'm not really dependent on other people so theaters are very very collaborative um uh expression you know there's so much you've got the light and tech you've got the this stage manager you know we've got nile and jude in there the team men and green are absolutely fantastic and a theater show if it's a one woman show never ever be fooled by that because there is a massive team behind you yeah you know down to the the neighbors that dig you out in the morning to get you on the road you know there's loads there's loads of people behind it so it's not it's never a one woman show yet whenever you're up there you're on your own but you're not really because you've got the the lights and the sound and well if it goes really well i would say yes it's a one man show and if it tanks i'd go well hey there's a whole team here i'm on it but the one thing you don't have to worry about that second scenario because i've heard great things about it already uh we're going to hear more from michael now the show's on tonight at 8 p.m it's on tomorrow night at 8 p.m again tickets 18 euro uh presented by on gree and on theater productions louise conahan uh is on stage you heard kieran kelly the writer reference there and patrick mcburtey uh presumed it's not the footballer uh is the director okay so i was going to say that that would be his toughest game as director captain in the team directing you i mean his hands would be full uh but listen um we can this is the type of thing to do you hope to tour with this well there's always a hope whenever you start out with everything you're always thinking america no new york no we always hope that something will go further let me ask you a question if you do this in mayo uh do you think the intention would be if he's spitballed it that you would sort of do it as a mayo fan or if you were in new york would it be the new york gales or or will this always be jimmy's winning matches because if it were in mayo we'd have a slight problem there it would be mayo not winning finals but anyway what about this this story is yes it's called jimmy's winner matches and yes it's got a donnie golf up all jersey in the front of it and all but this is a very story about donnie gall and it's a very human story you know it's talking about a father daughter relationship you know you're talking about grief it's a universal story and yes it does have donnie gall written all over it but it's not just that you know but the thing about it is this is it's a love letter to donnie gall and to donnie gall g a and i try and avoid sort of given too much away but i i gather that people who've lived this will be relatable to the emotions and the the heartaches and your successes and all of that it's relatable and that's how good theatre works isn't it louise listen best of luck with it tonight and tomorrow night get your tickets by calling the box office at on green on it's been lovely having you on the program thank you so very much indeed thank you so much great bye bye see you louise that's louise connor and there did you get along to see it last night or are you still previewing it for us okay see it yeah loved it loved it louise is amazing on stage i anyone who saw her in mani man she's electric she's magnetic she's perfect for one woman show she boroughs effortlessly from one character to the next loved it there's some nice technical stuff as well there's some nice i won't spoil it but there's also a technical aspect to the show that's very slick where downstairs chatting with one of the lads in the group about that we're saying like if it's that slick on the first night like how slick is it going to be on the second and third night it was very good for me when i watch a tv show and i read a comic book when i see a film i want a story story story there's a really strong story at the core of this it's about that woman it doesn't matter if you are very knowledgeable on the gaa over those 20 years 92 to 2012 or not there's still a strong story there obviously if you are invested and you know you get all the signposts but it tells the story this woman you leave the you leave the theatre almost feeling like she's somebody you know it's like i know her i remember that one her dad she brings that you can kind of get that sense from her out of character yeah yeah that's all louise yeah she sells it you need louise you need a very strong actress to sell this script and to make it work and louise is the perfect person for that thoroughly enjoyed it anyone who's going along tonight tomorrow night thoroughly recommend it and you'll definitely enjoy it you definitely enjoy 17 minutes it's just a nice time isn't it it's a huge commitment you can go out for a bath or you're too after-receiving or something to eat uh did you go along last night it's too cold it's too cold i know i know i listen do you know what i'm terrible this is what i i always try to be as honest as i can be and that is just a perfectly honest answer completely sorry michael it's just too cold i know that was the that was the message that was the message that's literally the message you know what people really appreciate frankie i agree i want to protect this home heat on hot water bottle watch a dvm of course i can't do it i'm a cold crater myself and i went through the whole show and nobody leaned in at any stage to whisper sort of sort of relevance sort of irrelevant whisper you know well yeah nobody commented through to have a whisper in her armory nobody said something like you know if i would whisper yeah yeah she's too old to be married to him she's too old to be married to him or she wouldn't wear that dress during a curfew it's Casablanca comment there's always one comment so michael highly recommending there's a lot of sex in Casablanca consider implied like considering the time frame that that movie is setting i think they had sex back in the 1940s and also uh on that subject there's nothing really in your face uh either literally or metaphorically uh with meet the chippendales but i wouldn't watch it with vanuda's granny no yeah yeah just to say i meant to say that a little earlier on yeah obviously yeah i think it's it's an 18 plus but you don't really see anything but uh i think it is for that when you mentioned like those pullouts in the newspaper i'm mind boggles like i'm like i'm just like it's not for me you are in a weird not for me everything is i don't know i'm worried i know i'm fair and it's the cold impacts him way different than it does me and most people okay keep your texts and calls coming into us oh wait six sixty twenty five thousand oh wait six sixty twenty five thousand right uh we binge watched the traitors uk over three evenings this week thought it was fabulous is that the bbc show it is i'm so jealous they've got the player yeah uh yeah no i didn't get to see it at all i don't know where do they watch it ask them that if they watch it oh eight six six six twenty five thousand they watch that's how my mother used to speak if she didn't want anyone to understand her like take that back we can't afford that mom everyone can hear you you're not speaking a different language and she also didn't i keep going to yorkshire accents every time i don't know what the story is did you get a good book of accents has the team seen the pale blue eye on netflix i'd give it eight out of ten vinnie vinnie mcgloughlin in manchester hiya vinnie i watched the first ten minutes of it thank you for reminding me i want to go back and watch i like it i like the setup of it it is a young fella dies in uh he's a part of the army and this is going back to the 19th 18th century after a clue they have horse and carts anyway and um this character whose name escapes me i can't remember his name it will come to me it doesn't matter is called into investigated and discovers that it wasn't a it wasn't an accident till death or the person didn't kill himself it looked too scary for me yeah i don't know it it wasn't scary as much as i'd seen but it's the guy that played batman is the lead character come on christie bale christie bale yeah that's it yeah and it it looks really good and it looks like it's gonna be an it does it does look like it was really dark so i was like oh this is a serious yeah that's what put me off it movie it's a movie yeah no that's what that's what put me off it was the horror because i was like oh i don't know that's not your bag no it's not no no yeah the pale blue eye uh hiya greg and team last week you mentioned the patient and i had been watching it but not totally into it decided to watch another episode but when the therapist had the chance to get away but didn't i thought nah go to end up like all the other victims should i watch the end now is there a happy outcome thanks greg always enjoy the chatter on a friday well firstly i don't remember when he had the opportunity to escape secondly the reason audiences are don't like it is is it's not necessarily happy ending now you can look at it and and say right i understand the critics like it because i think they be a bit more dispassionate on it it's not everything's not you the story's tied up in a bow but it's not necessarily the outcome that you might want that doesn't give anything away because i don't know what you want but watch it i thought i thought it was good but it has mixed mixed audience reviews but i think it's worth finishing to the end veni right okay uh let us take a break we're back with more from michael and fenula in just a couple of minutes watch the show live now on youtube facebook and at highland radio dot com the

republic of ireland are regulated by the central bank of ireland okay very welcome back to the nightly noon show it's that's entertainment with michael and finula and we are going to talk now about and it's funny isn't it finula that you know drama's almost now made in real time isn't it we're talking now about vardy versus rooney but the case is barely closed and they've knocked out a drama off the back of it i couldn't believe it i was because when when it first it came up i thought channel four have started to do some uh kind of popular documentaries you know like they've always done some good stuff in it but they've done some popular documentaries they've got a massive big thing about the Kardashians which someday i'll watch it but i just haven't got the energy of the time to put into it now and and it's kind of you know just how they built their empire etc etc so it's very kind of you know in on on point like in as in what's going on the world but then i saw this and what really attracted me to this is michael sheen was one of the producers and he stars in it and he's been uh bit deeply involved in it so i'm kind of watching it just to try and figure out uh what was the attraction there i mean anybody who doesn't know the story it is all about um it was in the papers all the way through so you have um colleen rooney and i'm gonna say rachel vardy but i could be wrong there is her first name now that i think of it but um these are two rebecca rebecca there you go these are two wives of professional footballers in in the uk and they were supposedly friends following each other on their social media channels and then all of a sudden then out what was for the public out of the blue colleen rooney put down in on her social media that she had just figured out that some people somebody was using her social her private social media and selling stories to the press from it and that she had done a whole big personal investigation herself where she had blocked people and then let them in and blocked all the things she posted a post didn't she that only rebecca vardy could see because she suspected it was her that was leaking her information well she did it for a beauty published actually on a public platform you know which i don't get oh i tell you why it's the whole way through this and i keep taking it's her pride that this was her private stuff on instagram well i mean i'm sure her friends aren't numerous and this way to vardy rebecca vardy isn't really her friend anyways they don't seem to have been friends prior to this but it just seemed to be like all the wags i look at i of course you know i was around in the time when the wags first came to realisation and you are kind of like watching them at the do you remember that one particular world cuff when posh vice was there and there was load abbey something or other was another guys there was loads of them and they were all they were all just dressed to the nine don't know anything except about the wags just specialised to crouch abbey isn't it yeah i think there's a load of them but they all kind of came up and they were and they used to be a big thing they probably still are now partly the way things are going but when rooney did this anyways she went and she put it out no she named and shamed then who she said was selling the story it was vardy or it was rebecca yeah it was rebecca so she sent it out that it was rebecca of course rebecca vardy went oh my god i can't have people saying this about me and she took the case to court and sued her it cost million to be honest that was the main thing that came out of it for me this crap cost millions millions for these two women to really kind of have and i apologise for the thing but like a bitch fight with each other like it was just ridiculous like they are phones go missing evidence go every phone school missing evidence goes missing uh one of the main witnesses was unable which you know always works out well for me was unable to attend due to the severe stress this had caused on her health and her mental health but fair play to her she rallied six weeks after the court case ended and was able to do a load of interviews and let people know that she's writing her own book so i love that strength she really showed her own she really came through with her strength you get to go on that journey with her exactly exactly so this is there's a lot of that kind of stuff in it do you know the ways in you just wonder about it because it's very fresh because we were talking earlier on about the chippendales and the reason that's enjoyable because you don't really know the story a lot of people do know this story and i think people are interested in this how it's told so it can work both ways can't it yeah look at it's very well acted michael chin plays one of the barristers in it it's all kind of set in the court and it kind of goes back and forth then to their homes or their different things and it gives you sort of an insight into what was going on in the court when it goes on if you're interested in this kind of thing you're you're gonna love this if you like that kind of story and you are following it you're absolutely gonna love it but it it just was to me i've just i mean meanwhile their husbands are still playing against each other on different teams and stuff and have to be seen to be uh you know at least cordial when they're out and about and it and again i stress it costs millions yeah um and yet and uh vardy's the one picked up the bill for that um and um jamie i think her husband's yeah um well like so the subject matter and the fact that it's real and the personalities and you know the ins and outs but what would you actually give the production the actual show let's say it was a let's say it was a fictional piece what would you give or or if it were factual which is what would you give it out of tennis i think they did a good yeah i think they did a good job of it and and as i said if you were watching this and because to be honest occasionally you're watching it go this can't possibly be real even though you know in your heart that it is but if you were watching this as somebody had sitting down and written a drama you go oh this isn't bad i would definitely give it like a you know six or whatever i'm presumed it's on the four player too it's on the four it is on the four player which and and i have to say i've always been one that was talking about how brilliant channel four was because they had this all four player and you could get in and out of it and there's no charge what they are ruining it why they have clumped so many ads into it now no right okay yeah and it's so because they wanted it was successful they want you to subscribe to it love because they want you to subscribe and i'm like that 24 hours and please cause these are great show on it as well if you don't want to watch something that you have to commit too much to there's a good amount of episodes on that is they've a couple of good things that they have right okay they have a couple of good good shows that they've made themselves and and and in fairness if you like any of the if you're somebody that likes the reality tv they have reality tv about everything do you think the likes of itvx and and channel four and we don't have anything in here at the moment so we have to look to that i wonder what the subscriber numbers are like because you know in terms of the quality of it look there'll be a couple of good dramas here or there right and you can catch up on bits and bobs but you know when people are sort of looking at how much they're committing monthly to on demand tv i just wonder even with a population of you know 68 plus in in in england i wonder is there enough interest to support subscription for regular tally rene it's what it is well this it'll be interesting to see what happens with channel four now because like i said it was an unbelievable like you know you because we were comparing it here two years ago to the rt player which was buffering which was still you know and you were saying oh god why don't they just copy the channel four model because the offer thing was so good you could just click on anything that they had and it just came straight away and they they also have some of the movies that are on film four and stuff like that and it now they've introduced all these ads now they're looking for you to subscribe to it as you say it was extremely popular it'll be interesting to see what the whether they end up with a fall off or whether they actually whether people transfer over i think there is an industry accepted shred shedding of of traffic um in terms of those who will watch with ads those who will pay a subscription to watch with ads and then those that just go stuff it i'm going to get a fire sticker i'm not going to bother watching it or it's not worth it so there is a you know there is a an expected shedding when you switch to the subscription model but sure we shall see uh right the rig is i think quite a few people are interested in the rig we're going to talk about that after the break is that all right michael absolutely have you watched it yeah how much of it halfway halfway through one episode okay back after these the best music on your station highland

times weekly service stunning architecture endless winding streets and an awe-inspiring castle ireland west airport don't just take off take it easy oh i think most of us will be glad to see the back of the snow uh that's going to happen uh over the course of today primarily the weekend but a mostly dry day today with sunny spells developing though cloud will increase by evening remaining chili in the north with highest temperatures of three to five degrees in light southeast breezes not sure if that's warm enough to get your cars back up the drive but we shall see right the rig is being incredibly marketed by amazon everywhere i look it is there people seem to enjoy the start of it but if you look at the average audience score most people don't like it yeah even the critics probably don't see enough in it to go oh yes this is great you're halfway through it's on amazon by the way you're halfway through what say you yeah i i've been following uh on social media on twitter and it's 43 percent audience score on rotten tomatoes which isn't very good like that's two out of five people liking it that's not good critics are a bit better with 64 percent following it on twitter um a lot of negative feedback a lot of people unhappy with the ending and socially as well just friends of mine that have finished it are like yeah the ending is a bit of a letdown um i'm sticking with it i'm the person who messaged in earlier said they weren't too sure i'm going to stick with it but i'm not greatly enthused i like it but i'm prepared to be disappointed i like the casting a lot it's a scottish production it's an old scottish production and there's a bit of buzz around the fact that it's the first time that there's been something like that on the amazon platform so it's great for local scottish productions that they've got this thing together it's got a stellar cast in glenn own teal people you will recognize from stuff like game of thrones and other bbc slash itv productions it's a it's a small pool isn't it yeah it is producers seem to trust yes and they're all very very good uh the story is very straightforward and it might have worked better as a feature film it's one of those mini six hour mini series that probably worked the rig is about three episodes too long say in st johnson completely agree so basically it's an oil rig um it's out in the middle of nowhere as you can imagine they get cut off you wouldn't want an oil rig in the middle of glass you wouldn't know so uh a fog or smoke what's that in a glass go there's a lot of yorkshire people in this Scottish production so a cloud comes in it's like mixture of fog and it's like ash cuts them off there's like um they can get no communication out on radio helicopters can't fly helicopters can't fly they're completely cut off they're completely cut off and supernatural things start to happen so a guy is injured in the first episode that badly injured he's in critical condition but he mysteriously starts to heal he sits up starts walking around starts prophesying that a big wave is coming and he's he's actually physically changing something's happening we find out what's happening at the end of episode two um and it's generally my my problem with the early issue issues episodes is that at the end of say episode two the characters are no further forward than they were at the end of episode one at the end of like it's a lot of pacing then it's a lot of people walking around the oil rig saying what the heck's going on i wonder what's happening for an hour yeah um it's it looks well visually you know it looks sounds like a brilliant premise it sounds like a set up is like wow okay you want to you want to like it i want to like it and i like ian glenn a lot he also did the jack taylor private eye detective gallway based show he's a great actor they're all fantastic actors i love own teal and he's the he's sort of the the toxic member of the crew he's the one who is shouting at the bosses about get us all off here you know you should be working to get us all off here he gets some great scenes they all get some great scenes but as i talked when i was talking about jimmy's winning matches how much i love story i feel like in each individual episode of the rig there's not a huge amount of story like nothing's i sit down and i watch it but by the end of it i'm like well we're no further forward this sounds very familiar to the review of that show where those people running up down car doors or something oh crossfire yeah crossfire sounds similar yeah crossfire was and the one about the um submarine yeah did we ever see oh vigil was great vigil was fantastic um have you seen any of this uh no it screams everything fenuda does not want no we're not like it's supernatural not interested it's out in the north sea out in the north sea it's not good it's dark don't like visually dark i just find that a pain in the bum like even when they're in the uh the club area where they're all kind of chilling supposedly because it's all glass windows you can see the ominous smoke and you're watching it to see if there's something flitting by fenula would hate that fenula would hate no it doesn't pay off much i mean i'll stick with it because of the cast but i'm prepared based on everything i've seen on twitter and those people that have commented in there about sticking with it you know somebody messaged earlier should they stick with it i haven't seen the ending so i can't speak authoritatively but i would still i don't know i'm kind of i'm stubborn it's very i mean i watched the midnight club all the way to the end and that was atrocious um not quite as bad as crossfire i did on my blog at the time right okay um we're fine for time yet so we can't ask you for walks out of 10 yet well no i can give it like a six or seven at the halfway stage but i'm i'm aware of the fact that people universally seem disappointed by the ending well universally definitely those who've contacted us yeah i know twitter as well twitter i mean i see i i go down i don't care about spoilers and i'm but you know a lot of people you know you're not gonna go what are you not gonna go on twitter to say something good are you there is a percentage we'll say good things but you're right it's overwhelming negative but it's traitors us starts in the bbc on the 25th of january this is from kevin setting the same castle with x bond villain and scotchman alan coming uh and he also says a few episodes of the rig looks promising similar to john carpenter's the fog with an impressive cast uh that was so scary but too cold to watch the chippendales reminds me to get a few clothes to clean the windows right okay put them on don't use them as put them on don't use them as rags all right uh shanae anyone watch red notice i watched that i think i think i enjoyed that uh wittney houston i want to dance with somebody very disappointing not reflective i've heard live i think a few people thought there was problems with that as well because bobby brand still alive and maybe they couldn't cover it in a way that they might okay that is finna thank you so very much

Consider a situation where you get a CSV file from your client to import in your application. But the problem is your application supports only pipe separated files. So here one thing to note is CSV file is not always necessary to have a coma as a separator. It can also contain a pipe or some other character also. So now the question is how can you change your default separator from coma to say pipe character. So let's jump in to see that how we can change this windows setting. Alright so now I am in the control panel of my system. My operating system is Windows 10. Okay so in the control panel first of all you need to click on this region icon which will open one window like this and then click on this additional settings button which opens a new popup like this. Now here you can see the list separator. So over here what you need to do is instead of coma I am changing it to a pipe character and then click on Apply and OK button. Once again click on Apply and OK button. Okay now let me show you the CSV file in the text editor which we were received from the client to import in the application. Alright so here you can see that this file is delimited by coma each column and their respective fields are delimited by coma. Now let's open this file in Microsoft Excel and once again save as this file and see what happened. Okay so now in the Excel sheet let me click on the file menu and click on this save as option. Select this folder and let me give the another name say import patient underscore 1 2 3. Let me click on the save button. Now let us close this file. Alright so here is our new file now since I have changed my coma into pipe from the region culture setting. So what I expect to find now is I expected to have a pipe as delimiter. So let's check this file in text editor. Now let me open the file in Visual Studio Code and yes sure enough instead of coma now we have a pipe as a separator in this CSV file and even if you open this file in Excel then it looks same as before. So this is how you can change the default separator from the windows setting.

Alhamdulillah So that's beautiful, insha'Allah So insha'Allah if you could repeat after me I'll say the Arabic phrase one time The phrase that you say to enter the fold of Islam One time insha'Allah in Arabic And then I'll have you repeated in English, insha'Allah Is that okay? Okay, so yeah, just go ahead and repeat after me So you say, Ashhadu Allah Ilaha In Allah Wa Ashhadu Anna Muhammadan A'abduhu Wa Rasuluhu Masha'Allah So now repeat after me in English I bear witness That there is no deity Except Allah And I bear witness that Muhammad Peace and blessings be upon him Peace and blessings be upon him Is the servant and messenger of Allah A'abduhu Masha'Allah A'abduhu Masha'Allah So we congratulate you and your family On your acceptance of the faith And we make dua for you We pray for you, we supplicate for you And we hope that Allah Azawajan Gives you firmness On this and support from your family And from your friends and from the community Insha'Allah And that we also ask you for your prayers Now that when you enter the fold of Islam It's as if you are like a newly born baby As innocent as a newly born baby And so because you're in a state of that innocence We ask that you also pray for us That your prayers To Allah to God are Closer to being accepted than our prayers So that we ask you for that As well insha'Allah And then I assume That you insha'Allah will be her support In all this insha'Allah We'll be able to support you insha'Allah Is there anything else that we need to do If you'd like to say any words Not really I guess today is an exciting day for me I've been Muslim One on three years And I never was a parent To push my child either way I let her observe me And I'm assuming she observed my growth And my change And A couple of days ago She texted me from school and she said Mama have something very important Tell you when we get in the car And on my way to go get her I'm like What could she possibly have to tell me So we got home and she said I make the decision to take basha'Allah Now we're here Insha'Allah we can Insha'Allah we'll end with a short prayer A short dua insha'Allah So we ask Allah that All of us And her mother and her family and her loved ones All of us firmness on his path That he gives us the love of Allah The love of God and his messenger Peace and blessings be upon him That allows us to be people Who consistently renew our faith and rejuvenate Our faith We ask Allah that we be people who consistently Testify that there's no deity except him And we understand the implications Of such statements and that we Ask Allah that he allows us to testify And witness that the prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him Is the final messenger And servant of Allah And that we ask that Allah allows us And sister Shaanis And everyone in this ummah Outside of this ummah To find salis in Allah azawajan And to find salis in this messenger saas And they find peace and they find Eman that they find faith And they find security in him And that they see him as al-mu'min There's a salis in faith and peace And so we ask Allah by the We ask Allah by the right Of his messenger saas and we ask Allah by the secrets Al-Fatiha Al-Fatiha If you have the sisters Welcome sister Shaanis insha'Allah Some of the sisters insha'Allah They have a gift for you insha'Allah And some of the sisters insha'Allah Will help you and welcome you to the faith


This is cluster analysis using basic Excel part two. This example is using some of the materials from John Foreman's great book, Data Smart. Recall, we are going to use the technique known as K-means clustering in which we evaluate our data points about our individuals, identify relationships in the database, and then assign individuals based on those characteristics into K groups, the number of groups, and then we try to minimize the distance from each individual to the group centroid. In this problem, you run JoyBags, wholesale wine and pourium up in New Jersey. It's an import-export business focused on bringing bulk wine to the States and then reselling it to Slake wine stores across the country. The way the business works is that JoyBags travels the globe finding incredible deals in large quantities and then resells it back in the States. Last year was a pretty good year, but you want to do better. You look over the data you collected. You keep in contact with your customers in a variety of ways, but you think the best thing are the email newsletters you send out about once a month. Last year you sent out, I think, 32 newsletters and in those newsletters you highlighted different varieties of wine and you gave information about the minimum quantity that people had to order, the discount, the origin, and whether or not that wine was past its peak. You have data on transactions, the orders from your customers, and you've got, I think, a total of 325 orders and you tracked the offer that the customer was responding to, so how can you use this data to better segment your customers? You think if you could find out which customer reacted to which newsletter and what part to the newsletter and trig them, you could really focus your advertising newsletters this year and do a lot better. But you have a limited advertising budget, so you wanna try to group the customers into these focused newsletters to optimize the results. In the middle school dance example, you saw that we had a space in which we had our individuals and the clusters. In this problem, we're gonna build a space, a two-dimensional space consisting of the 32 deals, 32 offers on one axis and the customers on the other axes. And in that matrix, we will show which newsletters they responded to and made an order in which they did not respond. On the transactions tab, we want to insert a pivot table.  I'm gonna double click that and call that worksheet pivot, and then I wanna my offers to be the row variable. I want my customers to be the column variable, and I want to get a count of the offers. I drag that into the summation values area and then click the down area, go to the value field settings and select count. So I've got the basic matrix there with my offers in the y-axis and my customer names in the x-axis. And in the space, we have the locations of when a customer made an order in response to an offer. So you can see here, here's Alan made an order when he got or she got the offer number nine. Next, I wanna make a copy of the offers tab and name the copy matrix.  Now I've got that tab and I'm gonna call it matrix. On the pivot tab, I wanna copy all of my data. So I'm gonna click there and start with Adams is the first customer's name and then drag this all the way down to the bottom of my orders, which is row 36. I don't need the grand total and then I'm gonna drag it to the right all the way through all my customers and I'm gonna stop there at CW 36 because I don't need the totals on the other axes. That's all selected and then I'm just going to right click and copy. Now I'm gonna go to the matrix tab and select cell H1 and then right click and then paste. And now I have created the basics of my matrix space because of a limited budget, you're only gonna do four special newsletters next year. So we need to modify our space in order to put in the four newsletter clusters. But we're not gonna do that on matrix. We're going to copy again, create a copy. And now I'm gonna rename this four matrix clusters. To make room for those clusters, I'm going to select the column H, highlight four, right click and hit insert. And that inserts four columns. And I'm just going to call these cluster one. What we're doing here in our matrix space, you can see we've got now our clusters here and we've got each of our customers and we're going to calculate the distance from a customer to a cluster and put it into the cells. That sounds a little bit tricky, but it's not if you pay attention to the steps I'm gonna show you. To help you understand how we're gonna find those distances, let's go back to the school dance. And here we have a student who's at location eight and two, eight on the vertical axis and two on the horizontal axis. And the centroid of the cluster is at four and four. So if we want to find the distance as the crow flies, that just happens to be the hypotenuse. And if you remember from geometry, Pythagorean theory says that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two legs. So we've got those two legs. The vertical distance is just eight minus four or four. Horizontal distance is two minus four or two. So the distance as the crow flies is the square root of four square plus two square is equal to 4.47. We're back in our matrix space. And I want to show you how we convert that as the crow's fly distance into this space. Unlike the school dance, we really have more than two dimensions. We have to find the relationship of atoms to each one of the 32 offers. So that's 32 dimensions. And how do we run Pythagorean theorem on 32 dimensions? Well, I'll show you in a simplistic way how we do it. I've inserted two columns here. One I've labeled difference and one different square. And difference is just equal to the first cluster H2 minus the value in atoms in L2. And that is a zero. And of course, zero squared is zero. So I copied that formula down. We get to the first cell, the first offer where atoms has a real value of one. And here the difference is zero minus one, will be minus one, and we square that. So we continue that process all the way down to the bottom. And I've added in some labels here for distance to cluster one. And you can see that this value there is equal to the sum of those differences, sum of N2 to N33. And then we take the square root, getting back to the Pythagorean theorem. And that gives us say value from atoms in this space to cluster one of 1.732. Now we could add more columns and find the distance to cluster two, three, and four using the same process, but there's a shorter, quicker way using array functions.
