How can you control the experience that women have with you so that it's not just about your bank account and your height? Because we already talked about women are willing most often to fix men. So if they're not wanting to work with you, it's probably not about what you think it is. You really feel, I want to keep it real with you. I want to live better, eat better. I want to love better, sleep better. Yeah. I want to feel so aligned. So have you ever heard the term save yourself black man? I have. Okay. What do you understand it to mean or to like represent? Is that with the whole initiative of if the black women aren't going to do it then go to the ones that will? Okay. Yeah. So men are going to like Asia and South America and this, this and that. So I've been trying to, I've been having two conversations. I've been telling the women, hey, your best and brightest are leaving.  And I've been telling the men that if we, if we do our due diligence and understand the context that we operate in, we should be so quick to leave, right? We need to fight for our community. So like, what are your thoughts on these men going somewhere else? So I have, I have mixed feelings. I feel like I feel that we should go in places where we are appreciated, valued, understood, all of those different things. I do believe in the necessity and the importance of, you know, black families and that kind of thing. And I do think that it would be nice to make it work with black women. I think that would be ideal in my head at least. But I do feel like similar to how you're probably feeling about the men, I feel like black women have to do better too. I say this, I feel like women in general, I feel like have ruined dating. I feel like that might be a hot take. Take it.   Go ahead. I think that in general, people, people teach other people how to treat them. And I think that, okay, so you've probably heard this before that women are, women control sex, men control access to relationships. I believe that women are supposed to have more control over relationships than what we are currently exercising. Say more. I think one of the benefits when you talk about the benefit of being like a feminine woman or being, you know, a confident one, or like any of the things that you would associate with a good woman or a desirable woman, those have the ability to shift energy, to move rooms, to influence behavior. And I feel that we're not taking that power. And it could be because there's a lack of femininity and there's a lack in, you know, those traits and characteristics that have the ability to do that. But I think for women that have those traits, they're allowing men to do things without there being responsibility attached to it. So like, I'm all for the whole idea of like being submissive and all that, but there's responsibility attached to a man that has a submissive woman. Okay. So if it were that whole like leader, like a man that is a leader, that implies that he knows where he's going. That implies that he's able to take me on a path that is filled with purpose. And so if he is not in alignment with that, he can't take me there. So us women, we have to one be intentional about who we're seeking after. But then two, if we find someone that, okay, he's on the right path, he's on the right track, he has the ability to lead, we have to make sure that we're positioning ourselves in a way where one, we're not causing him to derail himself from whatever that is that he's trying to lead us to. But then two, that we're just in a position to be able to like receive that and to contribute towards that. And we prevent that from happening when we accept foolishness. So I believe that most men don't just have like this innate desire to get married. Like most men, I think are okay if like you get married or you don't. It's like, it's cool.  I think most men would be okay with the situation ship where it's like, we just kind of see each other, but like, it's no strings attached. Relationships happen when women put pressure on them. Or when they put some sort of boundaries around what is required to have access to me. And that's the part where we're dropping the ball.  If women, if all women said today, we're not doing that anymore, men would, they would get on board. I'm halfway. Here's the thing, right? Here's the thing. Let me not even say halfway. It's like six, 70, 30. I mostly agree with you. I think what's tough, though. And you mentioned in the beginning, some women go after projects, right? Because they want to kind of take pride in or take ownership and I made you right. Like the Kisha K or I turned this guy into this guy. So I'm not going to talk as much about them, even though we could, I want to talk more about the women who get with a quote unquote good dude, dude whose train is going in the right direction and they question him every step of the way. So it's almost like there is a, from the male perspective, there's a sense of like, you're coming in this in bad faith. Like as much as I've done to prove myself or to build myself or to make sure that I'm going in the right direction for myself, there's still a condescending, you don't know what you're doing dude, right? And that's what I speak to more so because I'm more so like that guy versus the guy who needs building. But it's like even doing all the right things, there still is that pushback of, are you sure we're going in the right direction? And I end up telling people like, was I going in the right direction before you got here? And if I am, why do you constantly question me? Even though I've proven to you at least every step of the way that I know what I'm doing. So why is it that even with the quote unquote good dude or Russell Wilson or, you know, there still is that sense of you a little boy? I think that in those situations, like, definitely some healing needs to happen. I think that I believe most issues that arise in relationships are as a result of trust. And it may not be that she doesn't trust him. It may be that she doesn't trust herself. I mean, because we have to think about it. So like, even when we think about children, when we think about like, the idea of secure attachment with kids, you know, the idea is like, okay, if I have this child and then I leave the room, does the child feel secure in the idea that I'm going to come back?  And so you see a difference in behavior from children that have like an insecure attachment versus that attachment that we just talked about, like a secure attachment. I think the same thing happens in relationships as we're adults. So that same tendency that we had as children where we didn't feel securely attached to our parents or our caregiver, we translate it over into relationships because typically how we show up in one area translates to other areas. So the person that you are, and if you're not trusting in your relationship, you're probably not trusting in friendships and in business partnerships, like it tends to translate across the spectrum. So I think that we have to get to that trust factor. And then when we talk about trusting ourselves, so like I said, it may not be that you don't trust him and maybe that you don't trust yourself. Maybe you've made bad decisions in the past. Maybe you overlooked things that after the fact it was like, dang, I should have saw that. So then I'm not going to let that happen to me again. But if I forgave myself because we forgive the other person much quicker than we forgive ourselves, then moving into this next relationship, I don't have that same worry because I trust myself to pick well. So I don't need to question everything and say like, but is he really doing what he's supposed to be doing? Is he really doing what he says he's doing? Because I trust that I'm making the right decision. So it doesn't even matter about it's not about trusting him. It's about trusting me. Am I seeing things for how they're supposed to be? Am I missing something? Am I secure in this relationship? So let's talk about the other part, the builder man women. Because I think, unfortunately, I think that's because of the lack of trust. And I think because also it's easier to deal with it if a man who is not as good disappoints you versus a really good guy disappoints you. Because I think if the nigga on the street disappoints me, it's like, of course, I spread.  Versus if a really good dude, then you have to kind of look at yourself and be like, maybe I'm the problem. So like, what do you think is fueling women's obsession with building a man, rehabilitating men, taking men, these type of men over these type of men and encouraging that type of behavior? I believe that women have to reframe what makes them valuable. Because I think the problem is that women have placed their value and their ability to make people better, to support, to nurture like all of those like very superficial things that people correlate to women's roles. I think that women get pride out of like, I made him better, or I stuck through it like we have romanticized this whole like, right until the wheels fall off type of thing or like on this roller coaster. And I believe that if we did a better job at defining what makes women valuable, that it's not about what you can, how you can change a person. And it's more so in how you present yourself or how you present to the world. I think that it would eliminate that. Because when we think about that, if I know it's all about like what you believe that you deserve. So it's like, I'm never going to, and you're probably not going to do this either. You're never going to go to a job that's paying you a dollar an hour. Because you believe that your value exceeds a dollar an hour, unless there's some other like great experience attached to that, like you're able to essentially be mentored by someone.  When people don't know their value, they're willing to receive less. And so that less might look like this project of a man that I have to nurture and make him faithful and make him honest. And, you know, all these different things versus if I know that I don't deserve that, I deserve someone that's already coming that has done some self work that has, you know, the same integrity levels that I have that is honest, that is all of these different things. I'm not even going to deal with that man over here. Because this other man that's ready and waiting for me is right here. But a lot of women don't even believe they deserve that man that's already fixed. They believe that they deserve, they only deserve that man if they helped him get there. Because that man fixed already wouldn't choose her. So I'll build him up there and then I'll be deserving of him.  It comes from, you know, kind of like the whole nuclear physicist who went conversation and went viral. Some women don't think they deserve a good man. They'd never admit that, but they genuinely don't think they deserve a good man or, and they might frame it as the good man is boring or the good man wouldn't understand me. But deep down it's I don't think I deserve peace. I don't think I deserve stability. I'm not used to it. It's foreign to me. Where do you think that comes from? Like what is at the foundation? What is at the root of a lot of women, a lot of our women in particular feeling like they don't, the stuff that should attract them actually don't? I think that it's kind of going back to what you were saying about the whole expectation thing. I hear a lot of people say like, I don't set expectations for people.  That's rooted in I don't want to be disappointed. So if I say I never had expectations, then real like, like in my head, I won't be disappointed by that person, except the lack of expectations and boundaries is what causes disappointment. So that's a logical connection that was made there. And so I think it's the same with that. It's like, okay, if I don't go after the man that, that I don't necessarily feel like I deserve, then I can't be disappointed if I don't get the man that I don't necessarily think that I deserve. And some of it is true. Like I've heard even men say they'll tell women, like, you know, I don't deserve you. Most times when they say that it's because they know that they're up to no good. So they're actually saying something that's true. And if you ever hear a man say that, then run the other way. But the same applies for women. If there's a man and for whatever reason, like in your actual, like, you know, in reality, you know, I'm not, I don't deserve him because of whatever the reason is, maybe I'm not honest, I'm not faithful, I'm not going to take care of him in the way that he probably wants to be taken care of or whatever, then that's fine. But don't make it into a thing where like, I don't understand why I keep getting hurt. It's because you're going after the type of people that would hurt you. And you're excusing that because you're saying you don't have expectations for that person, or you're saying like, I'm just trying to have fun. Dating should be fun. Like you hear people say that all the time. Dating is supposed to be intentional with a purpose in mind. All things that I do have intention behind them.  I'm not trying to do stuff to have fun. Fun to me is accomplishing a goal. No matter what that is, maybe my goal is just to relax and create peace in my mind. So any activity that correlates to that and gets me that goal, that was a fun day, even if it was just like me going to sitting and feeding ducks. That was fun because it accomplished the goal that I had in mind. Does that make sense? And I think what makes this a bit more complicated is like, on one hand, you have this idea that women don't think they deserve a lot. But on the other hand, you also have a lot of people who talk about, oh, he's got to at least make six figures and at least be six foot and at least have a six pack and all these pseudo masculine expectations have been. So like, how do we reconcile? A lot of women don't think they deserve a lot, but are simultaneously having these higher than average expectations of men. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a wish list. And I think we all have a wish list. Like we would, all men would want the 10, like she's a 10 in all areas, like intellectually she's a 10, she's sexually a 10, like all these different things. I don't think there's anything wrong with a wish list. I think it's, it's a problem when the wish list interferes with the objectives that you have for your life. And so I think that you have to be honest about which of these things, because some stuff makes sense. So like, for instance, if I'm trying to build a fitness empire, it doesn't make sense that I'm with a man that's 300 pounds, like those two things, there are mindsets probably don't align in some areas that would be necessary because I probably want someone that's going to support me as I work out or, you know, meal prepping and things. And if he's just not interested in that, then we're probably not going to be aligned in that way. But I think that other things we have to acknowledge like what's superficial and what's tied to actual purpose in our lives, like what would actually having this characteristic present in a man would actually contribute to the bigger picture in my life. And I think that's the problem is that a lot of these things that we throw out is like, okay, he needs to have a six pack and he needs to be six foot four and he needs to like, what purpose does that serve though him being six foot four? Does that serve any purpose other than talk kids? And then what, like, what does that have to do with you? Like, and they may grow up, they could be tall kids that grow up and are like, I hate sports. That's true.  And then if it's not, you have to have an honest conversation with yourself, like, what is it in me that I haven't healed that makes me want to focus on superficial things over the actual character traits and internal components that would be fit for like a good solid relationship. I've been telling men that all that 666 stuff is cap. What are your thoughts? Do you think genuinely women require these things? Or do you think it's just a, like you said, a wish list that they just use to kind of dismiss people? It's a wish list. And because any person that like, I think all women can attest to the fact that they are willing to bend the rules. If the situation presents itself properly, because a lot of women will say that, like, the shorter guys tend to have better personalities. They do. They tend to be funnier and like more outgoing and they'll maybe go out of their way more to, you know, do the nice stuff that women like to see on Instagram, like climb the flowers and all that kind of stuff. For the right situation, women will bend their rules. You may not be the right situation. Ooh. You may not be the right situation. Maybe that's why that's not happening for you. But like, you wanting a woman, like you not being able to get the type of woman that you want probably has very little to do with the fact that you're not six foot. I know that's hard. So, okay. Yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay. Um, that's, that's gone. I know they're not going to like that, right? None. I think they might. I would. I think that's optimistic. Like there, you can, you can offset your deficiencies by the things that you can't control by improving other areas. So yeah, you may not, um, you may not be six feet. And if you're not, if you're not born with the genetics that would make you six foot two, it's not going to happen for you. And that's okay. But like, okay, so how do we get to increase the other things that women find valuable? So maybe that is being more chivalrous or, um, being a better communicator, because that's something that men can control. Or, um, I don't know, just like, you know, how can you, how can you control the experience that women have with you? Come on. So that it's not just about your bank account and your height, because we already talked about women are willing most often to fix men. So if they're not wanting to, to work with you, it's probably not about what you think it is. I'm going to segue this into something else, but real quick. So a woman, uh, a while back, she told me that, and I want you to respond to this. She told me that she said, to be honest, Alan, we only make rules for guys we don't like. Yeah. Like we only impose the rules on guys we don't like. That's something that, okay. And, okay. So I have this, this saying that I say a lot. It's like, um, you have to pick a struggle.  You can't have both.   She got a bad attitude. And she has the nerve to be ugly. I feel like it's, it's the same. And that's bad. So don't, don't call me. But if you're not attractive and you know that, then have a, like be nice, smile, like be pleasant because that helps you look better. Similarly, you can be a 10. And if you have a terrible personality, nobody's identifying you as a 10. Oh, that's a fact. So I think that's the, it's the same with these things. Our dealbreakers, dealbreakers, because a lot of them are kind of floating. Our dealbreakers are stronger when someone, like depending on certain circumstances.  If you don't like him, that's annoying. But if you like him, it's like, oh, that's so sweet. He was thinking about me.  But if you like love her, you're like, oh my God, like I'm ready to marry her. She's so sweet. It's the same thing. Yeah, that's fine. That's fine. Okay. So here's what, here's where it gets complicated. So in one of my previous videos, we talked about how she, she said that white men are, how did she put it? She said white men just want to love me. Meaning that in her relationships with white men, it's a lot more, they're a lot sweeter, they're a lot kinder, they're more nurturing, more catering in the whole nine.  Like I took you out.  Like it's more so that, and what I was kind of telling her was, in our community in particular, we don't actually encourage our boys to be that. And even the boys that are that, we don't reward them. We don't reward that behavior. So either they go elsewhere, or they transform into a future, right? So as much as like some dude might hear this, and even a younger dude might hear this and be like, oh, since I'm not six foot or I'm not talented or charismatic, I can be nice. Knowing that that doesn't work, how can you explain it a more nuanced way where like a 17 year old, 16 year old can use it to his benefit and find success with a black woman? So for me, I believe that the missing component for a lot of people is the discernment piece. And I know that's like a very spiritual like ask thing. Talk about it. But I believe that discernment helps you. It doesn't stop you from coming across people that are not a good fit. It helps you see that they're not a good fit sooner. So when or opportunities, anything, it goes across the board.  So the more work that you put in, you're naturally going to start staying connected to people that are more like you. And so there, but you have to be careful about that because a lot of your relationships are going to be a mirror for you. And so you might be working on becoming a more honest person, but if you're not there yet, you're probably going to stay connected to people that are not honest either. So if you're trying to be nice to those people, understand that they may be a little deceitful because you're not there yet. So the people that you're staying connected to, they're a lot like you. So the best advice is to become a better person because better people stay connected to better people. And there is much less danger being nice, being chivalrous, being compassionate, and all those different things to people that are better people. Not to say that all people don't make mistakes because they do, but the discernment piece will allow you to see who is actually making a mistake, who had a lapse in judgment, and who should you have never been involved with in the first place? You'll see it quicker. I think what makes that a bit complicated is if you're a dude or a woman who's committing themselves to this Afro-centric ideal of I want Black love, I think you could make a very good argument that if you have worked on yourself, you might find that you're not having as much in common as most of your brothers and sisters out here in these streets. So how, two-part question. How does one navigate that and is Black love a worthwhile endeavor pursuit ideal? So I'll just ask the last question first. I definitely believe it's still a worthwhile pursuit because I believe that it's possible still. I think one thing that you have to really think about is, yes, when you work on yourself naturally, it creates separation. So there are potentially less people that you can even really vibe with because they're not on the same, they're not the same place that you are. That doesn't mean though, like how many people do you need though to be on your same vibe? Like do I need 250 options or would three really good options be enough? So I think at some point you have to like ask yourself, am I looking for quality or quantity and then what am I actually looking for? Because yes, it makes your pool a little bit smaller, but I used to say this in college, women have to put themselves in a position to get chose. So if you're sitting at home in the quiet confines of your home and you never see men, you don't go out and you don't put yourself in a position for people to even approach you or see you or be sociable with people, you're not gonna find no matter how much self-work you do, you're not even going to find people that could be a good fit for you similar with men.  So you have to put yourself in position too. I think that's the other thing. And you don't need a whole bunch of options. Like you don't need 300 women to choose from. The problem is a lot of men, even if they see the type of woman that they would want, because women and women are so easily accessible, it's harder for men to make decisions on women when they see them. I feel like now it's just, it's easier. Like I already talked about, I think women have ruined dating. So it's easy if you want to have sex, it's easy. If you want someone that has no boundaries and no expectations, it's easy to find somebody like that and she will go out of her way for you. She will cook for you. She will clean for you. She won't ask for anything in return. It's easy to find those women. I think men would disagree. The reason why they're leaving is because they can't find that woman. Let's be honest though. If you wanted to, like any man watching this, if they wanted to have sex in the next 30 minutes, is there someone that they could call to do that? No. You don't think most men have a woman that they could call? Listen, listen, and this is the thing. I think unfortunately what tends to happen is, and I have to do this too, as a man, women are predisposed to only see women are hypergamous. So most of the time, proverbially speaking, most women's heads are up. So they're only kind of seeing men who are here or higher, right? So they project the expectations of these men on these men. When the vast majority of men are here, most men can't just call up a girl and get some pussy. These men. Really? Really? Not even, not even like she's a 10, but like there's not, like all men can't call a four. Really? Really. This is news to me. And this is a 10. This is news to me. For most, for most women, you can. Most women can. Even the women who don't look good, they can. Most dudes of a certain level can, but it's so many male virgins right now. It's ridiculous. Especially like Gen Z, even our millennials. Yeah. So who are these women that are threes? Who are they calling? The same dude. So see, because that means that there's a problem with the men here, like at the certain level that you're talking about. That would be a problem if men are dealing with the men that can get any woman are dealing with threes and everybody like all that's a problem. Men aren't sexually selective. That's a problem. Okay, we're about to get into some good conversation now. So, okay, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's what, here's what's. Because I would think the threes should be the women that like the average man, which is most people are average, the average man should be able to get the threes. If that was the case, Kevin Samuels would have never had a platform. But again, it's the wish list. I feel like threes want a 10, a man that is a 10 financially, physically, all these things. But I do, I do feel like most people that are threes, like you look at their, if they're not married, who they have children with don't tend to be a man that's a 10 in all categories, who use, if you go to, I don't know, Red Lobster, Chili's or something, and that's who you see them sitting across the booth from. Like if you're at the mall, that's who you see them walking in. I feel like. But the reason those relationships don't work is a lot of times they project 10 expectations on those dudes. So they always look down on those dudes. Those dudes are never going to be good enough. And then the worst part is, and this is going back to why Kevin Samuels had a platform, threes don't know their threes. That's true.  I feel like. Sometimes.  But I'm talking about just the average dudes, a relatively good dude, or should nine to five doesn't make that much money. No, most of them can't just call up a woman. Most of them are struggling. That is news to me. It's a fact. It's a fact. And it's sad, actually. That's crazy. And that's why I think some of them actually like save themselves in that vest. Because number one, I don't want to deal with the baggage of this woman. I don't want to deal with the baked in disrespect of this woman. And I especially don't want to deal with it because she's not that good looking, because men have a wish list. If you have women who are technically, as you put it, threes, but they are moving and having the same expectations of tens, that's not an option for men because they're going to project those 10 expectations on the men. And it's not he has to now pay Mercedes money for a freaking pidgeot. Or let me use the American Quarteota. You know, and most men are like, no, I could go somewhere else and get a better deal. Yeah, I understand that. I understand that. I do know that there are a lot of there are a lot of nice, average women too, you know, that don't necessarily have a negative attitude and, you know, all these things. I do think everybody still has a wish list. I don't think that the case that fact. But again, I do think that most women will talk a big game about they want this and I deserve this and that and the third. But if they came across the right man, whatever that means for them, though, because that's most times not well defined, if they came across women, women throw their expectations out the window all the time. And it's not necessarily a good thing in some cases, but, you know, but it's only sustainable if they know that their expectations don't meet their qualifications. Right. Because again, going back to Kevin Samuels and the dog grooming lady, she expected men to grade her on the same curriculum as she would be graded if she was a man. So she expected the fact that she now makes six figures to move her from a four to a five or five to a six. Whereas in men's book, it doesn't. And because of that, she was also looking down on the caliber of men that she actually does qualify for. So if you're not making more than her, she's going to treat you terribly.  You know, so men are saying if the average women, because I understand I'm an average man, I make $50,000 a year. You know what I'm saying? I'm not super charismatic. I'm not super handsome, whatever the case may be. But if the average woman also understood she was average, we can live happily ever after. But if I'm average and I've made peace with my averageness, but she thinks she's a bad bitch and waiting, it's never going to work. And unfortunately, our culture is one that like, and I've tied this to capitalism, because I think I worked in marketing. There's nothing better than telling people that they deserve whatever, because then they'll spend money with you. And women have been the largest consumer base. So obviously, you're beautiful at any size. So you can buy these clothes. You're wonderful at any whatever. It's their fault.  And that's the problem. But that's why I said like, I feel like women have to, we have to we have to get better with the boundaries and like the expectation thing, because that shouldn't be happening. Like, because it does, it creates this ripple effect of people expecting things that aren't realistic, because that is misleading to think like, well, you would, you would take me on dates and you would even bring me to meet my your parents or family funk. Like men do some crazy stuff when it sometimes they to get what they want. They will do some stuff that makes women think that, you know, it's something that it's not. And then sometimes they're honest about it.  Like, why would he be doing this if he really felt like that? Like they don't believe what's being told to them. And so like, you have to there has to be an alignment with actions and words, because I know that people say like, actions speak louder than words. But you have to also listen to what people are telling you, because sometimes, sometimes it is a manipulation thing, but sometimes it's not. And it's just like people can feel one way and act in another way. So the best situation is when what they're telling you and what they're showing you aligns.

In Autumn Sunlight, the September Day trots out its promises for Broadway's considering. Displays them in doorways, in push carts, in gutters. Decorates them with price tags. Invites you to browse, don't touch. Buy, don't squeeze. And at cut rates of the second-hand delights, the tears slash down to any man's purse. The bolt ends with dreams. The vendors simper. The hawkers wink. Buy, kid. That's a winter sun on your shoulder and the day is short. So buy. And that's what you do, kid, because on Broadway there's no other choice. And at police headquarters, the September's Day has arranged its wears of violence in your desk. Stacked as to category, degree, grade. Because the day is still fresh, you put off the reaching for them, the touching of them. But it screams close to your ears. John, I got something of interest to you. And walk the corridor to the room of the dead. Through the swinging doors into a place without season, where all nights, all days are of equal length. Where temperature is constant, where the wind is conditioned before it's let flow over death. Walk up to the man who waits for you. I'm nervous to switch Danny, to juggle things with my right hand. Maybe I'll be remembered for it. What have you got, Dr. Sinski? The man lying there. They found him in his bed last night, murdered. These that murdered him. Two bullets. Look. A 22 and a 32. Wouldn't you say so, doctor? That I wouldn't know. What I know is only one of these was needed to kill him. Either one. The man was one of dead twice, Danny. He was killed twice. Two bullets. Different size. Twice dead. You know who he was? When they brought him to me last night, there was a tag on him. A name, Tom Keeler. An address, the Nixon Hotel. Nothing else. No other word to the living about why such things would happen. You're sure, doctor? You're sure that the... Each wound was a mortal wound, Danny. Each wound could... Yeah. I'm sure. One of these, huh? Yeah. And that's the way my day began. And the ingredients of it were a medical examiner, a murdered man, and two bullets. In a room of no value except to the dead. Except to those whose business is with death. Consider that briefly, then push it away. Leave, go, get out, and hurry. And in the corridor, find what you're looking for. The breath of air not controlled by a thermostat. Look down the hall, turn over the two bullets to technical. Then outside, in the squad car, in the ride to West 25th Street, into the Nixon Hotel, to the five-story brownstone that seemed to list from pressure of the insurance housing project, neck door to it. Go in. Ring a bell. Wait. Be greeted by the man in gray suspenders and no shirt. Good morning. Good morning. I'm Danny Clover, police. You had a little trouble here last night, didn't you? Oh, just a mess of it. Did you know the man who was killed? You mean Tom, huh? That's right, Tom Keeler. What do you mean, know him? Talk to him, have a beer with him. Said hi to him, that's about the extent of my to-do with him. How about visitors? Did he have any? Look at the sign over my shoulder, Mr. Clover. Mr. Clover. You know some clovers down in Selma, Alabama. You and he can't do any Clover. No, no, no. Look at the sign over my shoulder. No visitors, no visitors. Do you think just because the sign is there, Tom Keeler didn't have any visitors? No, no, I don't, Mr. We got a sign in each and every room, says no smoking in bed. In the last year, we had three mattress fires. So what I'm saying is I never saw anybody sneak past this desk that I said to myself there's a Tom Keeler visitor. What else about Keeler? Well, we got mail this morning, maybe I ought to tell you that. Yeah, maybe you should. Fresh mail that come this morning. Here, the letter. Well, thanks. From the great Northern National Bank. So I see. Please come in and talk to us with regards to your commercial account at your earliest convenience. You read upside down, Mr. Quantra? I've lived in Baltimore. Oh, thank you, Mr. Quantra. Thanks a lot. And for that, Randy Quantrill winked at me, laughed noiselessly at me, leaned against the mail rack, scratched his back with it. It wasn't the moment to intrude any longer on such private pleasures. So I left him. At the great Northern National Bank, a guard uniformed in tattletail gray took my name, my business, walked on a marble aisle with them, and I aligned with identical desks, identical faces behind them. Unearingly, the guard chose one, the right one. That was a shrewd guard. He muted his voice to the extracurricular business I had brought to the great Northern, offered it to the man. The man considered it, digested it, and when he had it all in order, motioned me to the chair the guard had placed discreetly close to him. I'm told we can help you, Mr. Clover. Man named Tom Keeler had a checking account here. They're aware of it. Then you know that he was murdered last night in a cheap hotel? They're aware of many things, Mr. Clover. I'm sorry, I can't hear you. I say that our research department makes a point of informing each of us here on many diverse matters, matters that could even most remotely concern. Thank you. I said thank you because you left me here what you had to say. I was appointed, Mr. Clover. Should any questions arise about the late Thomas Keeler? Should any questions arise I was to answer the question. Your interrogation is what, Mr. Clover? We down at headquarters think it's strange Tom Keeler slept in a flop house when he had a checking account with us. Uh-huh. Question, Mr. Clover. Pardon me? I say that all we know of Thomas Keeler is that we were asked to transfer $50 weekly to his account, which we have done religiously until... Who asked you to do that? Counselor's Law. George Weber. If you want his address, we should give it to him. Thanks. You're saying you did this until... Until what? Until two weeks ago. When Mr. Weber asked us to discontinue his generosity. Why? I suggest it is a personal matter concerning Mr. Weber. I'm not troubling you with it. What? Why? I'm sorry, I... I said that I... Never mind. Probably wasn't important. And go to the Park Avenue apartments of George Weber. Be told by the person at the desk that Mr. Weber is not at home. Perhaps at his office, the person suggested. And be handed a slip of paper with the office address in a handwriting with the eyes dotted with small circles. Weber and Marley, a slip said. Attorneys, finance building, suite 12. Go there. Go through a door and pass the beam of an electric eye. Wade through a carpet to a desk and an olive skinned girl with tight black hair. Offer your name, show your credentials and be told Mr. Weber is out when you see his partners to Paul Marley. You would. You're nodded past another door and another beam. And to a slender young man who is waiting for you in front of a wall lined with every law book ever written. Be chaperoned by him through yet another door. There he was. Paul Marley. Partner to George Weber, impeccable in morning coat, striped pants and an army discharge button in his lapel. That'll be all, Roberts.  Clover. Clover. Please, sit down. Thank you.  That's right. This is about what, sir? What can I do for you? It's about a man named Tom Keeler. Keeler? Keeler? Man found murdered last night. Shot twice with different caliber bullets. Either one fatal. Yeah. Is all this a matter of legal advice for the police department? You want to know if a man was shot by two people and each shot... That's not it at all. Tom Keeler, it seems, was supported by your partner. By Mr. Weber. That's right. Each week, $50 was drawn on Mr. Weber's account and deposited in favor of Tom Keeler. Surely. But no mistake. That's the way it was. But I know Mr. Weber so well. His affairs, everything. Where is he? On Fire Island, since the day before yesterday. He has a place there. I'm pretty sure he went there. A lot of season for Fire Island, isn't it? Oh, I don't think so. The end of September? Mr. Weber goes there all year round. Whenever? Whenever what? Whenever he's disturbed. He has the idea of the sea, the strand, the loneliness of it. What was Mr. Weber disturbed about? He has a sister, Peggy. She's just 20, so you can imagine. No, I can't. Beautiful girl of 20, rich, and you can't imagine... Look, Mr. Marley... My partner was constantly arguing with her. We're a conservative firm, Mr. Clover. Individually, both Mr. Weber and myself feel... What's that got to do with Peggy? Peggy Weber is headstrong. How? I take my partner's word for it that she's headstrong. And they argued, Peggy and her brother. What about it? I have no idea. And he went to Fire Island to recuperate. One way of saying it. Anything else, Mr. Clover? No. Then please, these documents here, if you don't mind. And get in touch with the authorities at Fire Island. Check on the whereabouts of Mr. George Weber and wait. And an hour later, a phone call. Mr. Weber is not on Fire Island. Mr. Weber's place there is deserted. From the looks of it hasn't been inhabited for over a month. So come up with a conclusion. Mr. George Weber was missing. Put out an old-point bulletin on him. And go back to his Park Avenue apartment. Make a request of the management. We're always glad to accommodate the police. Then let's go, show me. Of course. Mr. Weber's apartment, right this way, down the hall. Yes, sir. Although, I'd like to know why we should intrude. Don't worry about it. Yes, sir. Open the door. Of course. And here we are. Yeah. We are, aren't we? What? What did you say? What did you say, Mr. Clover? I didn't... Oh! It stopped both of us. The management and myself. It was a site that needed only one glance and the details were there forever. The free-shaped coffee table and the grotesquery of the man spread beside it. The tracery of blood that stopped abruptly. Mr. Weber? That's Mr. Weber. The pen knife, bone-handled and cheap in his heart to be remembered. Details in the death of George Weber. You are listening to Broadway's My Beat written by Morton Fein and David Friedkin and starring Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover. There will be a slight pause while we think of an adjective to describe Mario Lanza. Sorry, I guess there just isn't one adjective to describe a guy who sings just as well in the popular range as in the classics. But here's a suggestion. On CBS Radio tomorrow night over most of these same stations, don't miss Mario Lanza's All Request Show. And more of the same by lovely Giselle Mackenzie and Ray Sinatra's music. When the night slips out of Broadway's fingers and the false dawn blurs the shadows, Broadway stands bewildered. The carnival is run down. Only the stragglers walk it with their step without pattern, like their dreams. And the color of their loneliness is the darkened neon, the last sparks of a cigarette butt and pavement gray. And they walk it. They never know. Broadway's closed for the night. And somehow or another, whether it deserves it or not, the world gets to be nine o'clock in the morning. Then there's a place for everybody. It's daytime, breakfast time, work time, make a dollar time. Or as Sergeant Geno Tartaglia said it. Well, lend me a dollar, Danny. Oh, sure, Geno. Here. Thank you. The reason for this transaction, Danny, is... No, you don't have to explain it. I want to. I want to. Go right ahead. Thank you. Mrs. Tartaglia forgot to tuck my dollar into my lunchbox today, as his hoe won't, for the little things a man needs during the day. She just phoned me and confessed her deletion of duty in this mansion. Geno... She said ask Danny for it. And tomorrow she will tuck in two dollars so that you will not go hungry. Tell Mrs. T. not to worry. Roger. Welcome. And now, Danny, to the chores of the day. Knife, which did George Weber in, was of the variety which can be purchased at our leading hardware stores for the nominal sum of 198. Practically unthraceable. Prints. White, clean. Go on. Well, that's about the sum and substance of the intelligence which has been shunted from the downstairs to the here, Danny. As of now. However... Yeah. A young lady is in the anti-ruman wants to see you. Who is she? The Miss Peggy Weber, sister of the most latterly deceased. Get her. This way to see Danny Clover. Sit down, Miss Weber. That'll be all, Geno. I'm glad you came, Miss Weber. Your name's right here on my calendar to see today. I knew you'd want to question me about George. How did you hear about his death? I was home. The late news on the radio. You see, I didn't live with my brother. We didn't get along. Oh? Gonna be a lot simpler now with him gone. I wore a black dress like this one for a month and call it a decent interval of mourning. It's not any concern of mine, Miss Weber. Well, it's entirely your concern, Mr. Clover. Your position demands that you locate people who would have motives for murdering my brother. I would. Did you kill him? A few of my friends and I got together some time ago. For kicks. We were going to try things together, you know. Just for kicks. Black magic. Well, I spent the first ten days of my membership sticking pins into my brother's picture. And all that happened is that he got a style on his eye. Outside of that, I never harmed a hair on his head. Why all this hate, Miss Weber? Simply this. I love a boy. I told George about him. George got red, then blue, red again, and then a lovely color I never saw before. He found out who the boy was. Ruined him. Who is the boy? Ralph Clay. Now runs a bowling alley on third. One more thing. Do you know a man named Tom Keeler? Not of hand. Why? Oh, never mind. Leave your address to Sergeant Tataglia, Miss Weber, and thank you very much. You, Ralph Clay? Huh? Oh, hello. He asked me to my dying day. He walked into an empty hall, Mr. I feel real sorry about. Don't be, uh, this way we can have a long talk. Shall we? Don't let it get away, Miss Tai. I'll take care of this thing coming up. Kingpin's seventh pin. Challenge. What do you think? Go ahead. Watch me. Never say go ahead to me in that tone, Miss. They're not on that shot. My quirk, each day I live for it. I'll remember, Mr. Clay. Look. Police. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sticky thumb and a ball, Mr. Police. Have fun. I'll write it off under entertainment. Joint's bad, no one will know. Something Peggy Weber said, it sent me to you. Peggy, a girl of class. Did she tell you how to kill her, Brennan? I got the impression she was in love with you. Pretty, the girl. She lives in ancient history. In a time where she loved and I love back. Both ancient history. Under the bridge. Peggy did something to you? She had a brother. Now dead, I read. It stopped me for a breath on the way to the sports page. George Weber did something to you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm a man who likes to talk about it. My daily nourishment. You share it with me? Yeah. Georgie poured you Weber didn't like how his sister used to put her hand in mine, so he marked me lousy. How? Standing before you, Mr. Police, is a boy who once thought he was a lawyer. Cap and hand, he went to Georgie as soon to be a brother-in-law. I asked for a job, keeping it in the family. Georgie smiled, shook his head, no. And with words and music, he told me he'd spoiled me any job I took, many when he knew. Because you loved his sister? I was second to my class in law school. You want to invent other reasons? Why hate Peggy for it? Things like that run in the blood. I don't stick around until it comes out in Peggy and slaps me in the head.  Yeah, ain't that a luck, you know. And Tom Keeler, what did you have for him? Keeler?  A man Weber supported until... Typical, typical. They're supporting him. Good old Uncle Tom was an old friend of Georgie's and Peggy's father. After the father died, Uncle Tom still hung around. Why is he called Uncle? Peggy calls him Uncle because he was her confessor, her hero. Everything that ate Peggy, she brought to good old Uncle Tom. Not to her brother.  I'll give you something to ponder, Mr. Police. Yeah, you did. I'm glad. Makes me want to live through another day. Watch the bitter boy make his strike. And consider the lie he'd flipped to you. The girl's lie that she didn't know Tom Keeler. And wonder over it. Jotted down in memory as a future conversation piece with Peggy Weber. And then, remember a man who said he knew all about George Weber? Everything, everything but the mention of Keeler's share in his partner's life.  To taste to the full the decorations bestowed upon men of know-how.  Handsome tidbit, isn't it? Yeah, yeah it is. Seventeen jewels, Hamilton. All because I proved in court a chap's wife had been unfriendly to said chap. Look what the grateful devil had engraved in the gold. To chum Paul Marley for setting me free. To chum. What was there about Tom Keeler that shot your mouth about him? My compliments, Mr. Clover. Brilliant strategy. Attack while the enemy celebrates minor victories in tactics class at Fort Mead. You told me about Weber, personal things about him, his sister. Why not about Tom Keeler? It pained me.  You'll show me where it hurts. You think you'll be able to understand? Don't answer, it doesn't matter.  That's why George opened that account for him. To keep him from coming here to beg. George and I had a large investment here. The presence of Keeler was harder. Weber cut off the account. But my insistence, my counsel, it made quite a row the other day.  You killed George Weber? Attack, attack. I admire your method, Mr. Clover. Well the investment, the plush carpets, the perfumed secretaries, the junior partners, all yours now. You killed Weber for that? The death of my partner was a great loss to me, Mr. Clover. A personal loss. Were it in my humble power to hunt out his assassins, I would dedicate my knowledge, my life, my... Yes? Danny, something I can do for you? Dr. Sinski, I have an idea about something I want you to check it for me. Gladly. Get out the medical examiner's report on Tom Keeler. Gladly. Here. What do you want it for? I want to put it side by side with this one I've got on George Weber. So? Here. Look. It says Weber died the day before yesterday at approximately 6 p.m. Uh-huh. And it says in this report that Keeler died about midnight on the same day. You know what that means, doctor? No, why? There's a pencil on your desk. Figure it out. You used my address after all. Mind if I come in, Miss Weber? This evening you can go as far as calling me Peggy. But you can't come in. I'm afraid I'll have to... You'll have to force your way in? Well, I could relish that. Peggy. But a friend's visiting with me. Ralph Clay. You said the password. If you know that, you might as well come in. Ralph! Come out, come out wherever you are! Say hello to Mr. Clover, Ralph. I told you a big fib didn't I, Mr. Clover? What? No, you know. I didn't know whether you'd broken off with Peggy or not. It doesn't matter anymore. You want to ask Peggy questions, huh? You too. Goodie, goodie. You lied to me too, Peggy.  I give Ralph a lot of trouble that way, don't I, Ralph? Let's just listen to what the man has to say. You're lying about Keeler, Peggy. You said you didn't know who he was. I explained it to you.  I found out who killed your brother, Peggy. I said I... We heard you. There were a lot of motive floating around, Peggy. Yours... Leave her alone. She didn't kill her brother. I'll cut it out, Ralph. Peggy. Ralph had nothing to do with it. I did it. What's the matter with you, Peggy?  That's why you're saying you killed your brother. Ralph, Ralph...  You thought Ralph did, Peggy, and Ralph... What are you trying to do to us, Clover? What are you doing? Placing methods? Trying to get us to play against each other? Take it easy, Ralph. Go on, take it easy, Ralph. What are you trying to say? Talk, talk! Tom Keeler killed Peggy's brother. What? Help me up. Listen to me, both of you... Clover! Let him talk, Ralph!  A man like Keeler could kill. A desperate man, a man without livelihood. A tramp who made a habit of living off someone else's generosity. Ralph, help. It was all my fault. You found your brother dead, didn't you, Peggy? Yes, and I... You thought Ralph did it? Yes, I thought... Oh, Ralph... It's gonna be all right, baby. Peggy went to her uncle Tom like she always did when she was in trouble. Told him Ralph had killed her brother. What did Tom Keeler say to you, Peggy? He said... He said not to worry. Just not to worry. Then he got in touch with you, huh, Ralph? Yeah. Yeah, he did. You know what he told me? I think so. He told me Peggy killed her brother. And he was the killer all the time.  So he had each of you believing the other had killed George Weber. How much money did he want from each of you to protect the other? Oh, what difference does it make? Doesn't matter anymore. Blackmailer. That's why Tom Keeler's dad, too, murdered. Yeah.  No, Ralph. No more. You don't have to anymore. Mr. Clover, my uncle said he wanted everything I had to keep quiet about Ralph. So I went up to his hotel room while he was sleeping. And shot him. No. No, Peggy, that's what I did. That's what you both did. To protect the other. You both shot Tom Keeler. Peg. Peggy? There's a time on Broadway when the crowd gives up. Goes home. The lights buzz fitfully die. Then it's a street of dim moonlight and dark whispers. And the wind of the autumn night. The wind that scatters everything. Yesterday's headlight. Yesterday's dreams. Yesterday's people. It's Broadway, the gaudiest. The most violent. The lonesomest mile in the world. Broadway. My Beat. Broadway's My Beat stars Larry Thor as Detective Danny Clover with Charles Calvin as Tertaglia and Jack Prussian as Muggevin.

This paper proposes a new method for estimating time series of inland water levels using satellite altimetry data. This method uses an extended outlier rejection algorithm combined with a Kalman filter to combine multiple missions altimeter datasets, including Invisit, ERS-2, JSON-1, JSON-2, Topex slash Poseidon, and Serol slash Altica. The resulting time series are then compared to in situ data and other altimeter databases, showing improved accuracy when compared to other altimeter databases. This article was authored by C.

Hi everyone Sean with jaspys case breaks calm here doing 2021 Bowman baseball 12 box hobby case break picker team number seven where all cards ship Least last week it's been really good stuff. I'm excited to do another case of it Here is the list of customers and respective teams from Joe Madero's and the diamondbacks down to mark the set in the Nationals last spot Mojo take up Jacob Tashima with the Brewers so Here's the case as this goes the first 30 minutes or so of this break are going to be me just opening up this entire case and ripping up the packs So if you are watching this on delay Fast forward to like 30 minute mark roughly maybe 35 minute mark And then you should be able to get to the action of the boxes and what's in them if you just want to see The hits and everything that's come out of it as far as autographs or low numbered cards under a hundred or under You can go to the description for the video and there'll be a hyperlink which will have The time stamp in there which will have a full recap for you of all the autos plus me numbered cards or highlights especially under a hundred so Choose your Viewing experience if you're watching live you're stuck with this So take this half hour or so to make yourself a nice little meal Refresh your drinks Here's the finalist Jake feels a banger. So do I I was just thinking about it as I was like prepping everything I was like I Feel something big. I've pulled one one one of one so far. It was the platinum paper Bowman first had a burq the Perez Everybody does well And we see multiple super fractors and a whole bunch of red or orange since that's the hobby exclusive as well It would be cool to just rip into a case where there was just like Multiple I have no clue. I have no clue Jay. I don't know what's going on 60% chance it works at 100% every time Yeah Open a personal possibly All depends on timing You know how that goes Damn Dan It's pretty good. That's a lot. It's a great looking set though. I mean, I'd argue that like Base cards wise probably the nicest looking there is right. I guess Teddy's gone. I see some gold shimmer there Nothing that cool Just replays of the sports center. Oh for sure Dan is definitely worth the or the juice definitely worth the squeeze, right? We're saying with with a woman. I Even though that would still be fun to super fun to nice Jake. That's cool. It's crazy PSA has always actually been on that I've been like that where The value of the card At their grading is based on the time that they grade it So if you submit a no-namer like rookie for grading And then all of a sudden like who comes a star in the time that it takes or like blows up, you know overnight By the time PSA goes to grade it they grade they base it off of the value at the card at the time Yeah, the thing that's a lot of people are concerned about now is If you send in a card to have it re-slab, so it's already graded If you send it in to have it re-slabbed When you send it in to re-slab it They will also reassess the grade so if the grading at the time Let's say it's an older graded card wasn't up to date as it is now It could come back a lower grade Or if the card like a top chrome 1996 top chrome Kobe or Iverson or any of those rookies from that year If it's greened since then They will regrade it with the new condition of the card. Yeah So if it's already slab, just don't re-slab it You're gonna get hurt. I saw one of a Tim Duncan Rookie that was a PSA 10 And apparently the guy purchased it as a PSA 10. It was an older slab card over a credit card and The chrome or something had deteriorated in the casing as it had been already like after the fact of when it was graded So he sent it in to have it re-slabbed because I don't know why but the slab or like the the tag on it had wrinkled So he sent it to PSA to have them re-slab it as a PSA 10 and They legitimately gave it back to him. They gave him two options one Since they've re-graded it get back as a PSA 5 or just have it slab this authentic Pretty sad There is our boxes all 12 of them Jake what are the subs on the cognac? Yeah, that's a bad one. That's really good Casey Mye's for the Tigers Nick Madrigal for the White Sox Jason Sievert Sam Huff for the Rangers CJ Abrams for the Padres and Yolbert Sanchez nice Chrome yellow to 75 for the White Sox Jason Sievert one of the last teams available four nine fives Mackenzie Gore for the Padres talent pipeline for the Tigers Brady Singer for the Royals Have you thought about doing it as a cross a cross grade with a minimum grade 10? Well, then yeah, if you can visibly see an issue that will keep it from being a 10 There's no point in ever crossing it then Edward Cabrera Aaron Sabato for the Twins those are gonna go to where I end up we Ace Lacey for the Royals Marco Luciano for the Giants Maximo Acosta Chrome for the Rangers Matthew Shira Jazz Chisholm for the Marlins Blaze Jordan Chrome for the Red Sox Walter Lutz one of the last teams available as well.

Live from Orlando, Florida, it's theCUBE. Covering Enterprise Connect 2019, brought to you by 5ix9ine. Good afternoon, welcome to Orlando, Florida. The Cube is here at Enterprise Connect 2019. I'm Lisa Martin with my co-host Stu Miniman. Stu and I have been here starting on day two, Stu. Good afternoon. Hey, Lisa, great to see you. Yeah, day two of three, Enterprise Connect. Not that sunny here in the sunshine today, but the nice thing about the Gaylord is it's a nice controlled environment. Walked by, saw the alligators for a bit. They've got some nice planning. They've got some, I love in the atrium there, there's great branding of the EC-19. Everybody's taking photos of it. I saw some drone footage in the keynote this morning showing some of the setting here. So it's a nice event. We said 6,500 intendants, which is nice. It's not one of these 20, 30,000 you're just buried by people. It's a big Expo hall, but you can really get to talk to some people and enjoy the size of the show. Yeah, I agree. The size is great. It does no pun intended facilitate that collaboration and communication. You mentioned the number of attendees, about 140 vendors, and you can hear the noise behind Stu and me as we're in the Expo hall, in the booth of 5ix9ine, and lots of conversations going on. This is an event that I find very interesting, Stu, because we talk about the Contact Center. We're all consumers every day, and we talked about this with a lot of our guests yesterday, that the customer experience is absolutely table stakes for an organization, that it's essential to deliver an omnichannel customer experience, meeting with the consumer wherever they want to be, and also facilitating a connected conversation so that if a chat is initiated and then the consumer goes to social, or makes a phone call, that problem resolution is actually moving forward. Before we get into today's keynotes, a couple of really interesting things that you and I learned yesterday with some of the guests that we had on. When we were talking with Blair Pleasant, one of the things that she and 5ix9ine uncovered with some research is that, and employee satisfaction was lower on the ratings for a lot of corporate decision makers, which was surprising from a collab and communications perspective, that if the employees, especially those agents on the front line, are having some challenges, that's going to be directly relating to customer lifetime value. Yeah, it was a little bit surprising. If you think about just IT in general, often the admin is not the key focus there. It's, I need to get business outcomes, I need to get ROI. What I care about is how is my customer doing? But at the end of the day, you talk about the contact centers, if I don't have an agent that's engaged, really how is that conversation going to go with the customer? So they need to think about that. How will the technology help them do their job better, help them gain mastery faster? There were some things that I saw really parallel to conversation we're having about cloud in general, which is, there's lots of technologies out there, but it's often it's not the technology issue. It is the organization and the people issue. In the keynote this morning, there was a big customer panel, and that was definitely something we heard. I love one of the customers actually said, we're going to make all these changes, and they had the don't panic towels, which of course, Harvick is back to the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. So, you know, we know things are going to change. There might be some things you need to work through, but don't worry, we're there to help, and we will get through this, and at the end it should be better.  I loved that towel don't panic, because, you know, we were talking yesterday a lot about the customer experience, the expectations of this rising empowered consumer, also the agent experience, but then of course there's the internal collaboration that's essential to all of this, and as I think the gentleman that you're referring to was from Continental AG, talking about, hey, we don't have all the answers, but adoption of these tools internally is critical, but it's also a cultural sort of step-wise process. I thought that was very cool that they actually, were very transparent with their people. We identify this is not going to be smooth sailing, but it's an essential part of our business growth. Yeah, I tell you, it was really interesting to listen to the panel. There was one of the companies up there, they're pretty large and they said, look, we're going to standardize on a single tool and everybody's going to get on board, and I actually bristled a little bit when I heard that, because, you know, the engineering group versus the marketing group versus, you know, the contact center, there's certain things that they need to be able to collaborate, but saying like, you know, one tool to rule them all, you know, it sounds a little bit tough out there. Yes, there needs to be some standardization, but you know, we see that in the cloud world, you know, it turns out customers are using multiple clouds out there because there should be a main one that we focus on, but if I need a best of breed piece for here, or if there's a feature functionality that I can't get elsewhere, I need to have that, and we see that at this show.  Yeah, that was very interesting, especially in the Microsoft Teams demo that Lori Wrighton team did this morning. The panel though that you talked about, there were seven customers from a variety of industries. Hertz was there, Continental, we mentioned, I think Paychex. I'm curious to get your thoughts on when they were talking about their plans to migrate to cloud, all in some percentage, considering the numbers that we heard yesterday, Stu, in terms of the cloud penetration for the contact center market, what were your thoughts there about those saying all in depends on what makes sense? Yeah, it reminds me of what we were talking about in the public cloud discussion two years ago. We know cloud is growing at a very fast pace. Look at our friends here at 5.9, they were growing at a much faster pace than the contact center overall. I believe they're growing somewhere, what, 25% as opposed to the industry as a whole is growing at about 9%. So we understand that cloud is growing faster than the market overall. And it was one of the moderators of the panel said that today is about a third of third of third, on-premises, hybrid and public and where that kind of steady state will be, I think it's still too early to tell in this industry, just as it is in cloud overall. But absolutely, I brisk a little bit when it's like, well, you will never do this one this way. Well, never is not something that we like to say in IT because you never know when that will be possible. My background, I worked on virtualization, started out in test dev and it reached a point where really there was no technical reason that I couldn't do it. When you hear, oh, the really large companies will never use cloud for it. Really, who is better at scaling and updating and making sure you can manage an environment than those hyperscale players? Microsoft's got a big present here. You don't ask a Microsoft customer, oh, you're running Office 365, you're living on Azure, what version of that are you running and do you have the latest security patch?  Have I done all this stuff? And you amplify that by thousands of agents and the contact center. We know that cloud has certain speed, agility and being able to get new features and updates in there that I just can't do nearly as well if it is something that I am installing and having to maintain myself or with a service organization. Right, and so we talked yesterday with a number of guests about what are some of the imperatives to move to cloud and some of the non-obvious ones cost obviously is one that we talk about all the time, right, Stuart, any show that we're at, but also the opportunity for businesses to leverage the burgeoning power of AI. Of course, every show we go to, AI is a buzzword, machine learning and of course the cloud provides that opportunity for there to be more data to train the machines to be better at contact center overall and of course internal communications. Right, and something that I like to hear at this show is start talking about API compatibility, you talk about the partnerships that are going on. It is not one software stack. We're talking about platforms. We're talking about how integrations can happen so that if somebody has a cool new thing that does a real-time engagement better than what I had before, well, I can probably plug that in and it's going to work on my platform.  We've had some standardization here so that whichever one I've chosen, I'm not locked into one environment and I can help modernize the pieces as I need and take advantage of those new innovations when they come. Absolutely. All right, so Stu, you were a man on the street last night. Tell us some of the interesting things that you heard and some of the folks that you met after we left. It's interesting. We think we talked about it in our open yesterday. There are a number of companies that have been around for a while and what are they doing today? What is their focus? And a couple of companies have done rebranding. So the big party, there was a line and I managed to get myself in is Poly. So Poly has rebranded, of course, it was Polycom and Plantronics coming together. How many times do we hear it on the keynote stage that they mentioned that everywhere you go, their branding is there? So look, kudos to their branding and messaging team. We're going to have their CEO on the program tomorrow but the CEO talked about their new logo. The meaning behind it, of course, Poly means many but there's three P's and if you look at it, it looks like the iconic conference phones. So the room was in there, everybody's enjoying the appetizers and the open bar but there was people know Polycom. Heck, in our conference room, we've got one of those speaker phones in there. In the 90s, I used to sell their conference phones and their video conferencing when I worked for what's now Avaya but was loosened at the time. So there's a lot of intersections. The other thing I've really found is it feels like everybody here, at one point in their career, either worked for Cisco or worked for the Lucent family. Of course, AT&T back in the day had the Hotelcom space but it is like many other shows we go to. A rather interconnected community here and we'd guess on, it's like, oh yeah, Cisco Skype and now at five nines. Yeah, it is friendly. You don't see some of the places we go. There's bitter rivalries between key competitors and yeah, well, all the contact centers don't love their brothers and sisters at the competitor there. Chances are they've worked with half the people there and sometime the future will be working with again. So it's a good atmosphere. The people I've talked to really enjoy coming to the show as we said at the top. And this show has evolved over the last week we were talking about yesterday, 28, 29 years starting out as being called PBX and then rebranding to VoiceCon and then about 2011 to Enterprise Connect and it was, it's interesting that, because the word innovation comes up all the time as does evolution of communications and collaborations but when the keynote was kicked off this morning they talked about this is the biggest ever Enterprise Connect that they've had so you can feel and you can hear it behind us. The momentum, the excitement, you talked about there's a lot of carottery here, there's a lot of two degrees of separation in tech but the opportunities for every business whether you're selling a small product and service on the Amazon Marketplace or you're a big global enterprise the opportunity to connect and deliver a superior competitive advantage to your customer experience that's table stakes these days if you don't have that opportunity, those capabilities there's going to be somebody that's going to come and replace you in a heartbeat. Yeah absolutely, at least I have background in the space but there were places where I walked around and I said wow there's applicability for our business I mean we use a number of the collaboration suites and I've mentioned I've got apps for not just the Google suite but all the collaboration tools and there's technology that I'm like oh gee I want to understand that a lot of them are downloaded an app you can start using them for free and then there's a Freeman model and others are more enterprise licenses and it's been interesting to watch some of that dynamic as to it is the pricing is more built for the mobile and cloud world than the traditional I'm going to buy boxes and have a huge capital expense up front. So what do you think if you look back to your early days in the call center when you were just a young pup how much easier would your job have been if you had had some of the capabilities that we're talking about now? Oh Lisa I wish back in the 90s if I just had LinkedIn alone I could have supercharged so much of what I did but all these other tools right putting at my fingertips information it was like Lisa tell you I date myself in the 90s taking a call with everybody that worked in the call center you knew the area code of every single environment that it didn't tell you where it was you would be like oh yeah two and two how you New York how you doing you could whether you're saying good morning or good afternoon based on what part it was like oh wait I'm talking to Arizona they don't follow daylight savings time we'd remember all that stuff today there's too many exchanges everybody takes their phone numbers wherever they go so it was a smaller country back then but in the other hand the technology's actually going to give us the opportunity to be able to imbue that allow humans to focus on the empathy and connectedness that today's digital age sometimes tries to tear away from us. Exactly we need that empathy and that connectedness so Stu we have a great program today stick around we've got some folks from Celigin we've got ServiceNow on the program Riven Communications, Fuse, Tetra VX-59 of course and they're in and Zoom this afternoon yes thank you five o'clock. For Stu Miniman I'm Lisa Martin you're watching The Cube.


Good morning everyone, Basel Chapman here on this Monday, the 30th of January, just about a wrap up of the month, we are looking at the Dow, which was much weaker earlier on now, up 12 at $39,988. Very good action, the price is nicely above the 9 period moving average, the 9 is above the 14. The back of these goods, the cash is kind of lagging at 68% finally, the on-balance volumes acting well, and we're watching that weekly chart to see if we can break resistance, looking at the S&P, the S&P has also come back very nicely from much, much weaker prices earlier on overnight into early this morning, now it's down 14 and 456, it's getting close to the $4,100.96 double top that was made on 1st of December and 13th of December, we're going to be watching this closely, there's buying usually end of the month, beginning of the month, we're watching that to see whether it really impacts the market from this stage on into maybe Tuesday, looking at the QQQs, being quite weak, still quite weak down $256 at $293.72, but they did yesterday on Friday go over the $296 high of the 13th of December, that's very important, the 200-period moving averages at $296, I'm thinking that's going to be resistance for a couple of days, looking at the IWM Russell 2000, trading down $0.78 at $188.82, what's really interesting here is that gold is really holding tightly, it is starting to weaken on some of the technicals, but the 9 is still way over the 14th, it's down 5 at $1940, I believe that gold is in a digestive phase, it's been this way for about two weeks, and we'll see if it can hold the 10 level $1900, it's at $1941 right now, looking at the dollar, the dollar is attempting every moment it tries to rally, but now it's unchanged at $1.92, if the dollar this week goes to the 102.75 area, that says yes, finally it's got a little bit of a rally going in for it, the crude oil is down today, it's down at almost a dollar at $78.68, it got repelled a few times now from the 82.86 200-period exponential moving average, then we're looking at bonds, let me just see what bonds are doing right here, bonds are about unchanged, down to 30 seconds and 130 and 30 seconds, but it didn't make a peak in the rest, so yields are running a little bit, down to 46 as we go to my takeout technicians hour coming up in another few minutes, hope you can stay, great programming here, cheers!


Hello and welcome to the session. My name is Asha and I am going to help you with the following question that says, are the following pairs of statements negations of each other? The number x is not a rational number, the number x is not an irrational number. So first let us learn the concept of negation of a statement. The denial of a statement is called the negation of a statement. One of the techniques to deepen the understanding of the mathematical statement is denial of a statement. This technique is to ask not only what it means to say that a given statement is true but also what it would mean to say that the given statement is not true. In this question we shall first write the negation of the first statement and then compare it with the second statement to decide if the pairs of statements are negations of each other or not. So let us start with the solution and in the first part the first statement is the number x is not a rational number. Now the negation of the first statement will be its denial that is the number x is a rational number. So this implies that the number x is not an irrational number, the numbers are divided into two classes. One is rational numbers, the numbers which are not rational are irrational numbers. So here the negation of the first statement is the number x is a rational number which implies that it is not an irrational number and this is the second statement and hence the given two statements in the first part are negations of each other. Thus our answer is the given pairs negations of each other. So this completes the first part. The first statement of second part is the number x is a rational number. Now the negation of the first statement is the number x not a rational number. It implies x is an irrational number since the numbers which are not rational are irrational numbers and this is the second statement that the number x is an irrational number. Thus we can say that these two statements are also negations of each other. Hence our answer is given pairs in the second part are negations of each other. So this completes the session. Hope you have understood it. Take care and have a good day.
