We would like to start the historic preservation and barn preservation grant ceremony My name is Laura Treishman. It is my honor to serve as the Vermont State Historic Preservation Officer The state of Vermont recognizes very important and not so important landmarks in our communities These are historic civic and agricultural buildings that are significant to our culture and obviously to our economy Historic barns, churches, libraries and town halls have all been an integral part of our landscape and these are the buildings that we treasure and are honoring today with this grant ceremony 29 applicants have been awarded this year with the historic preservation and the barn grant preservation So we're very excited Since 1986 the state of Vermont has granted over 5.3 million To over 550 communities for preservation projects and 3.5 million to support more than 390 projects to preserve historic agricultural buildings Grants are given to aid large and ambitious projects And towards the preservation of important state and local landmarks such as the grandisle lake house The united baptist church in pultney and mountain view farm in east berk Grants are given to support small and volunteer organizations and small-scale farming Operations in places like albany enosberg new haven and newberry We've seen from the program's track record that even a small grant has a very big impact We hope these projects will encourage others To become involved in preserving historic resources throughout vermont I really want to applaud you in preserving these resources That are really the heart of our community the heart of our state They are the icons that people come to visit and remember when they leave And hopefully we'll come back to visit I really want to give a good shout out to katlyn corkins who is our She administers this program. She is going to be your very best friend. She is going to frustrate you She will eventually answer your phone calls and get right back to you with answers She is your problem solver and will be with you throughout the process From the handing out of the big checks to the closeout where you get the real check I also want to point out debbie sayers who has been supporting us in this program for A number of years debbie is going to be retiring this year after working with the state of vermont for 30 years And so i'm not quite sure next year's ceremony will be this well organized But I just really want to call out debbie who's hiding over in the corner And also to everyone else in the division for historic preservation The department of housing and community development and the agency of commerce and community development where we're located We are a close knit agency and we work really really well together And with that I would like to introduce our esteemed deputy secretary ted brady Thanks so much laura. Let me just adjust the mic a bit Well, uh, congratulations to all the grant award winners today And thank you for the time and effort you've put into Uh, really being a caretaker for some of vermont's most important assets Over years and years and years and going into the future. So thank you most importantly We we're here obviously to announce two sets of grants today And to celebrate two sets of grants our barn grants, but also our historic preservation grants two separate Programs that we're fortunate enough that the legislators in in this room and in this building Make sure we have funding for each year. It's really important that you thank a legislator today and tell them That this is a really important piece of funding We do this we do these two grant programs because they meet the very essence of maybe you've heard of the governor's three main Efforts, right? We're trying to grow the economy. We're trying to protect the most vulnerable and we're trying to make vermont more More affordable. Well, how does historic preservation do that? Real quickly historic preservation is not at ends, right? historic preservation Preservation is a means it's a means by a way of which we Build community we we either restore or preserve or create a sense of place Which is really what vermont economic development is all about that place based economic development It's a way that we create housing in so many circumstances historic preservation creates housing It's a way we create jobs. It's a way we drag people from all over 13 million different people Should say 13 million people because they're not all different To vermont each year to invest 2.8 billion dollars in vermont's economy historic preservation does all of that And it's not an overstatement to say that now historic preservation is also kind of complicated economic realities I know I it's a silly thing to say I often make the maintenance of these buildings difficult if not impossible, right? We have transitions in the way we farm We have transitions in the way we shop. We have transitions in the way we Where we work all these things just make the preservation of these vital assets really A market failure because the market no longer supports it alone And so that's where the state has to come in and provide some assistance your nonprofits come in to provide a lot of assistance These programs allow for the repurposing And reuse of historic structures Again, we don't preserve things to preserve them and pickle them We preserve things so you can use them and enjoy them and so they can multiply the economy The success of these projects really Dictates the success of us as we try to make vermont the most desirable place to live work and play In the country. That's our kind of whole. Yeah, right. You can clap for that. It's okay So this year we're yeah, yeah, thank you senator parkson. I'm no bernie standards. I don't know when to pause So this year we're uh, we're really excited to announce More than 200,000 212 thousand dollars in historic preservation grants That's going to leverage almost three quarters of a million dollars in 14 Historically significant community buildings this year everything from one of the most iconic buildings in vermont that The church at the top of church street two buildings that I believe will be iconic buildings again in so many small communities We're also awarding more than 200,000 Dollars in barn preservation grants this year Which will leverage an additional $658,000 of other funding in 15 different agricultural buildings It's It's an amazing thing because you need to realize You are amongst the lucky ones as you probably know because you've applied before and been denied We get nearly three times demand for this program and we have funding This year we had 94 applications Asking for more than 1.3 million dollars in grants. We have 400,000 dollars to give out thanks to the legislature and specifically the Capital bill and the committees that do work in the capital bill We get that 400,000 dollars and we're expecting we've asked for another 400,000 dollars in the next budget year So you'll hear in a few moments from katelyn The actual grant award winners, so I won't get deep into that, but I have a few thank yous I need to make you heard me reference the legislature specifically. I want to thank the chair of the Both the senate and house institution committees senator benning joe benning A good northeast kingdom boy and representative alice emmonds On the house side who really makes sure that this funding comes through for us But the most important people you should think Are the folks from the advisory council on historic preservation? As you guys know, we don't make these decisions A council of volunteers appointed by the governor makes these decisions And they undertake state and federal responsibilities Including making these grant recommendations and I'm not sure if edward clark is here if you are can you wave? No, he's the chair of that board and just again another person We should all think and then We need to thank our partners. We all know the most important person in the room Is not standing right now is paul brune right and the preservation trust of ramon. Let's hear from paul he's touched i'm sure most of these projects some way or another and Paid off some members of the advisory council one way or another too i'm sure We also want to thank the vermont arts council is karen here with us today For their Representative michelle is here.

Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is the hot chocolate effect. As always, adult supervision is required. What you need for this experiment is hot water, a cup, a spoon, and some hot cocoa mix. This experiment is called the hot cocoa effect. You can do it yourself quite easy. So go ahead and take your hot cocoa mix and pour it into the cup. This experiment wasn't really discovered until 1982. Then take your hot boiling water and pour it into your cup. Then what you're going to do is take your spoon on the mug and tap it several times and listen to the pitch, which it shouldn't change. So here's where it becomes fun. So give it a couple swirls and then start tapping again and see what you hear. You should notice the pitch of the frequency. The tapping gets higher and higher. Go ahead and give this hot chocolate a swirl a couple times and start tapping it again. You should still hear the pitch start to go up again. So the science behind this is the answer is bubbles. Adding the powder hot chocolate doesn't just add sweet chocolate flavor to your water. It adds tiny bubbles of air as well. So when you stir the hot chocolate, you'll also mix the air bubbles in the liquid. Then all those bubbles slow down the speed of sound in the hot chocolate. So this lowers the frequency or the pitch of the sound waves as it travels through the mug when it's tapped. As the water spins around the mug, the bubbles rise to the top and pop. With fewer bubbles, the hot chocolate, the speed of the sound increases and the frequency does too and you hear a higher pitch. I hope you enjoyed this experiment. Please like and share and thanks for watching.


That's a very good answer, and I... Hi everyone, this is Dr. Wallace. Today, I'm gonna ask you, what is the first thing you notice when meeting a person for the first time? Oh, this is interesting. Actually, maybe just the way they say hi. Probably similar body language, that sort of thing. I think it communicates a lot about the person if in the first 10 seconds of meeting them. I guess they're general demeanor, how confident they are, and how they carry themselves. Facial expressions, demeanor. Before you even start talking to someone, you just notice their physical characteristics. Ooh, that's a good one. I think when I first meet a person, I notice their body language, so how they're acting towards me or towards other people. I just like to observe, so I notice whether they're comfortable or kind of like not, like thrown off. I just notice body language, just how close they are in proximity. I notice that demeanor and their confidence. Demeanor, that's what I notice about you. You know, it kind of like popped out and you're very energetic and friendly, and that's what I notice about you right away. The sort of tone of voice and the body language and the eye contact that grabbed my attention. Maybe their eyes. Their eyes, kind of like, I don't know, almost, like same like Raji, like body language, but meme or so, it's like, what sort of like intention. I like to look people in their eyes, so I guess I just notice if they're meeting my eye contact or if they're shifting their eyeballs. That kind of thing. And what can you read in their eyes? I probably make snap judgments more often than I should just on if I should trust them or not, I guess. If they tend to be happy or nice or maybe more likely to let me do what I wanna do or prohibit me from doing something. If they're pretty or not, and just like the way they dress. If they're clean, probably like attentiveness. So like, I guess how attentive they are towards like people around them. Yeah, so like social traits. Like their personality and how like funny or... nice or yeah, whatever they are.  And like a lot of people I meet, like they put on a weird persona of themselves that like they'll, I don't know.  And I mean, that's how I choose who I surround myself with pretty much. I don't know. I don't know.


Hello, Welcome to SSUnitex to see this side and this is continuation of PySpark tutorial. So in this video we are going to see about the subtract and accept all. So what are the difference between these two functions as well. So as per the today's azenda first we will see about the subtract then we will see about accept all and last we will see what is the difference between these two. So what subtract function will does. So subtract function return a new data frame with the rows in the first data frame that are not present in the second data frame. So this is something like you can imagine not in operating in SQL server. So we are having one data frame and it is switching all the rows from there those are not available in the second data frame. Next is the accept all. So accept all function also return the new data frame with the rows from the first data frame that are not present in the second data frame and it does not remove the duplicate. So let's assume if any row is having the duplicate in the first data frame then it will be going to return both the rows. But in case of the subtract it will be returning only a single. So we can say subtract is accept plus distinct. Now let me quickly go inside the browser and we will try to see in practical. So here I am going to create two data frames data frame and data frame one. So let me try to execute this query. So we can see here we are having two data frames output first is having total six rows and second is having total three rows. So while we are going to use the subtract so it will be going to pick ID two and three because these two IDs are not present in data frame two. So let me quickly use data frame dot then we can use subtract. And under that we can pass another data frame that is data frame one. Let me use display of this. Let me execute and we'll see the output of this. So here we should be able to see total two rows like employee ID two and employee ID three. If we are going to use accept all then it will be also written ID two and three. But as we can see in data frame we are having duplicate on ID two. So it will be returning those two rows here. So this is the only difference between these two. So I hope guys you have understood about subtract and accept all. And what is the difference between these two. Thank you so much for watching this video. See you in the next video.


Osaka Castle is one of the most intriguing of all of Japan's forgotten wonders, a place we have covered in the past. It was, we believe, like so many other inexplicable sites around the world, re-inhabited by our most recent of ancestors, placed within an academically permitted timeline of events. A chronology that, if one wishes to succeed in the mainstream, must toe the line of. Or if one goes against the grain and explores the site with a critical mind, one can clearly see it contains a number of surviving features, which not only displays lost knowledge, thus the work of a lost civilization, which at some point in the very distant past built ruins all around the globe. Building countless polygonal ruins, which have, due to their incredible construction technique, fortunately survived into the modern era. However, it is not just its polygonal foundations, which show clear evidence of these elusive and consistently denied lost ancestors. Octopus rock, for example, also sometimes known as the drumstone, is the largest megalithic stone found within the walls within the castle's grounds. This giant stone, just like those of Baalback, is enormous. It's for its weight range from 100 to 300 tons, although it could of course be far heavier. However, even at these conservative estimates, any explanation of how ancient man accomplished such feats remains elusive. For the fact remains, the stone is of an incredible size, and to this day its placement, along with many others found throughout the world, remains unexplained and unknown. So, for one to conclude that this stone's use, its quarrying, transporting, and placement within this wall, was done by our less capable, more primitive, post-ice age ancestors. Yet all these methods of building and lifting, the knowledge of how to do such tasks, somehow simply vanished through the ages, all of which now remaining a mystery even with computer technology – an explanation still evades us. Thus to conclude this to be anything else than that of a relic, left by a far older, now lost civilization's work, we believe would be highly illogical, and should appear illogical to anyone with a capacity to dissect the purposes for these actions, taken by an academia claiming to hold all the answers. All the while, actively concealing or ignoring any conflicting controversial evidence, truths that due to their belief in their power, laying within their reluctance to ever admit an incorrect hypothesis for the origins of species or the timeline of man, thus this doubling down on fallacy merely makes their persistence at sticking to said posits not only a damaging conspiracy, which robs us all of our heritage, but can also be perceived as an attempt to conceal anything which could alter the status quo. The octopus rock is an incredible feat of ancient engineering, and one, just like that of the polygonal masonry techniques that can be found at countless other sites the world over, is clearly a relic of a forgotten past, accomplished with the use of forgotten technology and knowledge. Just how big is octopus rock? How old is it for that matter? And how did our ancient ancestors accomplish these feats? Because our research deepens and our studies widen, our target, that of a currently hidden lost civilization, becomes clearer in the mind every day, and it is only a matter of time before they are fully rediscovered. To deny such facts will eventually become too ludicrous. It is a journey of discovery which is undoubtedly highly compelling.


Greetings and welcome to the Introduction to Astronomy. In this video we are going to talk about the Hydrogen Energy Levels Lab and Simulator. And as with others, there is an interesting amount of information here that you can look at. So there's some background information. Make sure you look at these first because that will give you some of the important details you need to work on the simulator. But really what we want to look at here first is the hydrogen atom simulator itself. So as we pull that up it will show a few different things. First of all it shows the atom here on the left hand side and we have the proton for the hydrogen atom at the center and then the electron orbiting it in this case in the very first or ground energy state. And there are various other energy levels, the second energy level, the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth. And the hydrogen, the electron can be present in any one of these energy levels. It will always want to be in the ground state or level one. But it can move up to the others if properly excited. Now we can also see it as an energy level diagram here. It's highlighted to show where the electron is at this point and what the energy is of that level. So for example if we wanted to move that electron and bring it into the second level you can see how it's moved up here and how the energy has changed. Now if you note it didn't last there for very long. Atoms do not like to be in excited states so they have a tendency to decay. The electrons will always go back down to the ground state. Now other things we can see in the simulator here are when you're selecting the photon you want to use you can look and this will tell you the frequency, the second graph shows the wavelength, and the third shows the energy of that photon. And there's a slider here showing infrared, visible, and ultraviolet photons. In addition there are some pre-programmed photons for different series of hydrogen lines. These are the Lyman series and those are associated with transitions from the first level. So Lyman alpha is from one to two and that means if I were to click on Lyman alpha it would take the photon, it would shoot a photon of the precise energy to bring that electron up into the second energy level. If you bring one that is the incorrect energy level then it would not be able to, it would be unable to move that photon out. So we could pick some other random photon while this is in here. Let's try the H alpha photon right here and if we click on that it will tell you that nothing happens, that photon is not of sufficient energy. These are the H alpha and beta and gamma. This series here is what we call the Balmer series and these are important because these are the ones that we see in visible light and then there's the passion series which is visible in the infrared. So let's go ahead and clear those and we can then fire different photons and try to look for the energy levels that are needed to move photons up the level. So for example if we want to go from the first level to the second the Lyman alpha will get us there and then if we then want to go from the second to the third the H alpha following right behind it could do the same thing. And now we'll watch as this decays, in this case it didn't decay the way it went up and you can see in the event log over here on the end which is right here that the excitation was done in two steps. In this case it absorbed a photon of this wavelength and then it absorbed another wavelength photon and then the de-excitation was exactly one. It gave off just one photon. But what you should notice is this one was 10.2 electron volts. And the next one was 1.89 electron volts. And if you add those up you will get 12.09 electron volts. And what that is is that's exactly the same as the photon that was emitted. So the amount of energy that was absorbed in these two states is equal to the one that is emitted. Now you can also get other types of de-excitation. So if we were to take our electron and drag it out to the far level here out to the sixth level and we can see what happens to it. And in this case you can see it dropped down a couple levels and then it dropped all the way down so it did this in stages. So we excited it to this further level and it gave off two different photons. Now in that case it would have given off photons well off in the infrared and then one in the ultraviolet so nothing that would be visible to us. The visible light photons would be the ones that involve again this second energy level. And if we do the H-alpha one there, again you can see that's a red photon that it shows. And that will jump it up one energy level. And that would be something that is part of the visible spectrum that we are able to see. So looking at the controls here, these are what you will use to try to figure out. And you can change the photons. You can try other ones. You don't need to use just these. You can actually, we'll have to try some others. And you know see what happens if you send a photon of 550 nanometers in there. And if you fire that photon in of green light absolutely nothing happens. You can experiment what might happen if you put it in this level and fire that same photon and guess what? Still nothing. And that's because that photon is not the same energy is the difference between two of these levels. Now if you bring it up even further and fire that same photon, all of a sudden now it ionizes it. That photon had enough energy to rip the electron off altogether. And you'll see that it will eventually recombine in addition. But if you have a sufficient amount of energy, if you send a very high energy photon, even when the electron is in the ground state, if you send a high enough energy photon, it will knock that electron off. So it will not necessarily just bring it up to a higher level. In order to get it there, it has to be that precise energy. If it is anything different, if it is just slightly off, the electron will not be able to see that photon and it will pass right through the atom. So if it has sufficient energy, it can ionize it, take the electron off. If it has exactly the right energy, it can cause it to move between energy levels. But anything else is going to not do anything and the electron will just sit there and will then finally decay back to the ground state. Now, there is one second simulator, not a full simulator here, but one other thing that you'll look at within the level abundances, and I'll just take a minute to show you that as well. And you're going to be looking at that to make a graph of these abundances. And what this shows is the number of electrons in the first level here, the second level, the third level, the fourth level, and the fifth level, and how many have been ionized. At very low temperatures, it's a very small number of electrons that are in this level. And remember, this is the one that gives us visible light. So if we want to see the transitions with the visible light telescope, they need to start from the second level. If they're in the first level, they are ultraviolet transitions. Now, if we clear this and then we look, and if we change the temperature, we can see that the distribution will change. So as we raise this temperature, you can see that all of these intend to increase, that we get more and more electrons in the higher energy levels. And then if you increase it enough, then the actual levels start to decrease again, and the ionized levels becomes the dominant. So at very high stars, most of the hydrogen is actually going to be ionized. So we will not see a whole lot in the other portions. And when we have a much cooler star, most of it is in the ground state. Now, when you're graphing this, you do have to look at some of the numbers. So if we look at some here, the graph within your section is given in 10 to the 15th power range. So it's 10 to the 15th power. And if we look here, this value at 2,300 degrees is 5.25 times 10 to the 16th. So let's put that up here. 5.25 times 10 to the 16th power. So this would be, when you're scaling it to 10 to the 15th, you essentially can get rid of 15 of these zeros here. So this becomes a 1. And 5.25 times 10 to the first becomes 52.5. So for the purposes of the graphs, you just want to remove 15 from this and then figure out what your number is, and that's what's going to go on your graphs. So that concludes this video looking at the hydrogen energy levels simulators. We'll be back again next time to look at another one of these simulations. So until then, have a great day, everyone, and I will see you in class.


Okay everybody, it's official. We're gonna go through the draw.  So here is the men's draw for the 2021 US Open and I'll tell you what, if you're a Novak Djokovic fan you are going to smile because he has a very good draw. Let's go start with the players that are not playing at the US Open this year. Okay so the players that are out of the US Open for 2021, you can see they're better now. He has pulled out, also Chorich has pulled out. Kyle Edmund has also withdrawn from the event, haven't seen him for a long, long time. Roger Federer, we know he's pulled out with the knee injury for the rest of the season. Rafa Nadal also pulled out with a foot injury for the rest of the season. Milos Rionic, he is also out of the US Open this year with Dominic Teem, the defending champion, joining him. Obviously, Teem's not playing for the rest of the year due to the wrist injury and Stan Vavrenko, former champion, also not playing this event. Here is the draw, Novak Djokovic. He gets a qualifier in the first round. The winner of that match takes on either Grixbor or Strouf in the second round. Then we have Caruso versus Nishikori. Winner of that match takes on either McDonald or the number 27 seed David Goffin in the second round. Then we've got the 21st seed Karatsev. He takes on Muneir in the first round. Winner of that match takes on either Thompson or Maga in the second round. Then we've got Brooksby, the wild card versus Ema. Winner of that match takes on a pretty fire first round matchup if I do say so myself. Fritz versus the number 14 seed Diminor, a couple of next-gen guys going at it in the first round. Could be very interesting. So you can see there that the fourth round opponents for Djokovic, if he does make it that far, which I think we all expect, could be Karatsev.  He didn't do much against Djokovic at the Australian Open, but that was a long time ago now and he's, I mean, has he kind of gotten better a little bit better? So maybe Karatsev in the fourth round against Djokovic or Diminor. But I'm definitely watching out for obviously Djokovic, Diminor and Karatsev in this part of the draw. Second section of the draw, we've got the number 10 seed Hercatch. He takes on Jarissomov in the first round. Winner of that match takes on either Sepi or Fujovic in the second round. Then you've got Kudler versus Jera. Winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or the number 20 seed Senego in the second round. Then we've got the number 28 seed Finini taking on Pospasul. Circle, that one is wonderful. That is a fire first round matchup. Winner of that match takes on either Sandgren or Avashka in the second round. Then we have Matej versus Trevalier. Winner of that takes on either Shadi or the number six seed Baratini. And that is a tough first round for Baratini against the veteran Shadi. Players I'm watching out for in this one, got to watch out for Matteo Baratini. Of course, he's got a tough first round, but he has played well at the US Open in previous years. Who be Hercatch as well, got to watch out for him. Had a couple of good, had a pretty good season really on hard courts and of course made the Wimbledon semi-finals. So let's see if he can do something here in this event. And Fabio Finini, I mean you got to watch out for him. He's always an interesting player to watch out for. And who knows? He has beaten some big names at this event in the past. Next section of the draw we have Alexander Zverev. Number four seed, he takes on Sam Querri in the first round. What a terrible first round for Zverev. Very tough match against an American in America. And Querri, he knows, he loves an upset. Winner of that match takes on either Ramos Vanoles or Pui in the second round. Then we've got Nishioca versus the Wildcard Sock. Keep an eye on Jack Sock. We'll be doing that on this channel if he does get through the next rounds. Winner of that match takes on either Hanfman with a 31st seed public in the second round. Then we've got the number 17 seed Moffis taking on Correa. Winner of that match takes on either Johnson or a qualifier in the second round. Then we've got Chekinado versus Svayda, the Wildcard from America. Winner of that match takes on either the Wildcard Purcell or the 16th seed Sinner. So matchups that could be happening and potential players that you should watch out for. Of course, watch out for Stashes, Zverev. He's on a win streak. He just won Cincinnati. He won the gold medal at the Olympics. He beat Djokovic to get that medal. Watch out for him. You've also got to watch out for Yanik Sinner. He won Washington a couple of weeks ago and look, might be able to do something here as well. Maybe have a bit of a run. Has a pretty good draw, to be honest. And Jack Sock. We're going to be watching him on the channel if he does make it through, especially if he plays maybe Zverev in the third round. So keep an eye on Jack Sock. This time last year is really where we started the Sock train. That's where we started our Jack Sock fan club here on Tennis Talk. So watch out for Jack Sock. I know I will definitely be keeping an eye on him, especially in the first couple of rounds. And the last part of this draw, in the top half of the draw, we have Karina Buster, the number nine seed. He takes on a qualifier in the first round. Winner of that match takes on either quarter or a Basilash Vili in the second round. So interesting first round matchup there. Then you've got Moseti versus the wild card Nava. Winner of that match takes on either Kwon or the 22nd seed Opelka in the second round. Then you've got the number 25 seed Hashinov, versus Harris. That's a tough one to say quick. Winner of that plays either Quavos or the wild card Escobedo. Then you've got Bayano versus Paul. Winner of that match takes on either Dolbonis or the number seven seed Shapovalov. So players we're watching out for on this one would be, you've got to watch out for Shapo. I know he's in terrible form right now, but you're still going to watch out for him. He's got a pretty good draw. As you know, Dolbonis is a clay court player in that first round. So he could get through that. Also PCB, watch out for Karina Buster. Bronze medalist at the Olympics. Of course, Beat Djokovic here last year in that default match. Also going to watch out for Opelka. He's in great form at the moment. And I would say definitely got to watch out for Hashinov as well, the silver medalist at the Olympics. So a lot of players to watch out for in this part of the draw. All right, let's start at the bottom half of the draw now. We've got Rubelev, the number five seed. He takes on a qualifier in the first round. Winner of that match takes on either Martínez or Duckworth in the second round. Then we've got TFO versus a qualifier. Winner of that match takes on either Pella or the 32nd seed Crianovic in the second round. Then we've got one of the first round matches that everyone, I'm sure, will be watching. And if not, you'll be looking at the scores or checking in on it at least. Is number 18 seed Batistriuk do taking on Nick Kirios in the first round. Okay, let's keep an eye on that one. That is a fire first round matchup. Winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or Roussevore in the second round. Then we've got Lopez versus a qualifier. Winner of that match takes on either another qualifier or the number 12 seed Felix Ojaliaseem in the second round. So a lot of qualities in this part of the draw. But players to watch out for. Rubelev got to watch out for Rubelev in great form as he has been for the last couple of years. Actually played really well here last year as well. So got to keep an eye on Rubelev in this tournament. Actually beat, I think he beat City Pass and Kirios two years ago if I'm not mistaken. And then obviously you got to watch out for Kirios as well. I don't know if he's going to play. I hope he does, but you got to watch out for him anyway. If he does play, the first round matchup against RBA is going to be a nightmare. And then of course Ojaliaseem. Keep an eye on him. Had a pretty good week last week. So beat Baratini in the match last week before losing to City Pass. So keep an eye on FAA for this tournament as well. Next part of the draw we've got Garen, the number 16 seed taking on Gombus in the first round. Winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or Milman in the second round. Then we've got Lyovic versus Pair. Winner of that match takes on either the qualifier or the number 23 seed Umbair in the second round. Then we've got the number 26 seed Nori versus Elkarez. Baby Rafa in action against Cam Nori. That's a tough first round matchup against, you know, Fort Nori. Winner of that match takes on either Kitschmenovich or Rindinik in the second round. Then we've got a couple of Frenchmen going at it with Manorino taking on Herbair. Winner of that match takes on probably one of the most exciting first round matchups on paper, on paper. Andy Murray is taking on Stafano City Pass, the third seed. That would be, if it was two years ago, that would be a final of a slam. But no, Andy Murray, or maybe not two years, maybe four years ago. But Andy Murray, he's unseeded. He plays against City Pass in the first round. Obviously we're watching after City Pass. He's got a tough draw. I mean, if he has to play Herbair in the second round, it's still going to be tough. He's got a pretty tough draw. Also got to watch out for Umbair. Umbair has been really good lately and he's been pretty good this year. Also beat City Pass at the Olympics. So if they do meet in the fourth round, got to watch out for him. And also I'm watching out for Alcarez. Played very well this week in Winston-Salem. Some highlight shots. And I want to see what Baby Raph is all about. So keeping on Alcarez at the US Open as well this week. All right, nearly there guys. We've got Casper Rudd, number eight in the world and sorry, number eight in the seedings. He takes on Joe Wood from Songru in the first round. That is a nightmare for Rudd. Unfortunately for Songru, he hasn't played enough. I don't think to beat Rudd. But again, that is a nightmare first round. Winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or Tabernac in the second round. Then we've got Bagnus versus Daniel. Winner of that match takes on either Samon or the number 29 seed Davidovic Fakina in the second round. Then we've got the Battle of the Americans. We've got the number 19 seed Isna taking on Nakashima. Winner of that match takes on a qualifier in the second round because we've got two qualies going at it in the first round. Then we've got Vesely versus Anderson who's a very dangerous unceded player Anderson. Winner of that match takes on either Barencus or the number 11 seed Schwartzman in the second round. So players to watch out for Casper Rudd. Had a really good clay court season in 2021 and back-to-back Masters 1000 quarterfinals on hard courts. Keep an eye on Rudd. Tough first round in the Songru, but keep an eye on Rudd. Also Daniel Schwartzman got a keep an eye on him. Had a very good, played very well here a couple of years ago. Got a set of Rafa in 2019. So can play in New York and also got a keep an eye on Isna as well. Very dangerous player as we saw a couple of weeks ago in Canada. So keep an eye on Isna. He's a very dangerous player. Bottom part of the draw now. Rounding it out as we get number 15 seed Dimitrov. He takes on the wild card Rafis in the first round. Then you've got Popperin. Winner of that will take on either Popperin or Elbot in the second round. Then you've got Giron taking on a qualifier. Winner of that match takes on either Montero or the 24th seed Evans in the second round. Then you've got Battle of the Veterans. The number 30 seed Chillich taking on Kohlschreiber in the first round. Winner of that match takes on either a qualifier or Anduhar in the second round. Then we've got Koppfer versus another qualifier. Winner of that match takes on another first round matchup between a veteran and a current generation player. Gascay versus the number two seed Mevadev. Another fire matchup. Circle that one as one to watch. Mevadev got to watch out for him. He's in great form. Didn't play great last week against Rublev but again he won Canada. And Mevadev he loves playing in America. He's had back-to-back semifinals at this event in the last two years. Made the final here two years ago, Australian Open Final at the start of the year. He doesn't mind playing best of five sets on hard courts at the majors. Got to watch out for him. Also Marin Chillich, former champion 2014. Got to watch out for him as well. Clearly loves playing in America. And also watching out for Dan Evans. Hasn't really done much since the start of the year. But I think Dan Evans he's got a pretty good draw. He could make the fourth round here and then maybe make some waves against Mevadev. He did have match points against Stan Vavrenka a few years ago and then obviously Vavrenka won that match and won the title. So he has troubled some of the seeds in the past. Man oh man. Let's talk about a crazy draw.


Live from Orlando, Florida, extracting the signal from the noise, it's theCUBE. Covering Enterprise Connect 2016. Brought to you by Oracle ZDLRA, Vonage and CafeX. Now your hosts, John Furrier and Peter Zantesonio. Hello everyone, welcome to theCUBE. I'm the ground special presentation at Enterprise Connect. I want to thank our sponsors, Oracle ZDLRA, zero data loss appliance, CafeX and Vonage. Thanks for your support for getting us here. We appreciate it. I'm John Furrier on the ground, and Peter Zantesonio at BC Communications. My co-host and analyst, our next guest is Scott Belting, who's the executive director of product management or hosted voice and data at AT&T. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, great to be here. Usly, having as iPhone, I've had since it launched with AT&T, I've been AT&T customer. That's one part of AT&T, obviously AT&T's a huge company, but it really touches on that thread of what's happening. And that is that this unified communications market is completely transitioning to a whole other world. Software, real-time communications, and user experience. Yeah, without a doubt. I think mobile devices and the mobility trend in general is really prominent right now, obviously. And so a lot of our customers are looking for how can they take advantage of that, make their businesses more productive, and we're trying to enhance our portfolio accordingly. It's funny, the iPhone is not even 10 years old, so it's not even an adolescent, if you will, but it's made such a dramatic change. But it's also a gateway drug, as we always say, to the real addiction, which is I want seamless user experience, real-time communications. This is the whole UC promise coming together. What's your experience? What patterns do you see talking to customers out there? Because they get the feel of the consumer device that they've had great success with. And then they realize when they bring it back to the workplace to put it all together. This is where the challenge starts. Yeah, so this is what we call in the industry, the bring your own device trend. So customers are used to using that consumer-oriented device. They want to bring it to work, they want to use applications that they're familiar with, and really the millennial generation is starting to drive a lot of that. They've grown up in that environment, and now they enter the workforce, and they want to start to utilize those same devices, those same applications. So the challenge for companies like AT&T is to develop the products that will enable that. And so again, we're developing our portfolio in a way that meets that need as well. So one of the key underlying things that drive all this is of course the evolution to the cloud, right? And I think that you just made a significant announcement that relates to the cloud. Yeah, indeed, indeed. And that's one of the main reasons we're here at Enterprise Connect. I mean, we typically come here every year, but this year we are pre-announcing the availability of a new product. It's called AT&T Collaborate. And AT&T Collaborate is essentially a cloud voice and collaboration product, and what I mean by the collaboration piece is, it enables things like audio, video, web conferencing, instant messaging and presence, desktop sharing. And so the customer will be able to, they'll be able to use it as simply a voice product if that's what they want to do, if they're trying to replace some of their legacy voice technologies, and they want to move to the cloud. They can use it for that, but it also enables them with additional capabilities so they can, again, support the needs of their employees and find a way to plug it into their processes to improve their businesses. So when this gets deployed as part of a corporate, well, let me back up. What's the target market? Is it SMB? Is it big enterprise? Is it all of that? Great question. We're gonna be positioning the products pretty much from small to large. I think the sweet spot initially is going to be more in the small to medium space, but because AT&T has such a broad depth and breadth of portfolio, we're going to find ways to integrate the product with the rest of our portfolio so that we can scale it up market and meet the needs of some of those more complex customers as well. So that's in our roadmap. What are some of the things that you see with customers doing where they're now architecting through the cloud and there's no real playbooks emerging. There's now new trends there. What are you seeing as patterns that you could share to the doers? There's a lot of digital builders we call them out there. They're trying to figure out architecture. So okay, I got on-premise, I got cloud. What are some of the things that you guys have and what do you guys tell those customers? Yeah, you know what I think is what's really important and what a lot of customers are going to be wrestling with is the whole concept of this hybrid environment. So I've got a bunch of software. I've got a bunch of my voice equipment on-premise. Some of that stuff as the cloud technologies have evolved and as broadband has become more ubiquitous, they're starting to develop business cases that make more sense to push some of that to the cloud. But I think the challenge is you don't get there overnight and so it's a journey. And so the challenge for the customers is how do we support that hybrid environment where some of our applications are going to be serviced from the cloud and some are still going to be on-prem that they have to maintain and support and provide software upgrades for that type of thing. So I know that AT&T has done a lot of work in the federation space. And the whole issue of being able to find you and where you are if you've got a Skype account or you've got an outlook, whatever the case may be, can you talk a little bit about that challenge and how collaborate is sort of going after that issue? Yeah, so you're right. The federation concept is a big challenge. You got Cisco out there with a lot of embedded base, a lot of Microsoft embedded base, other products. And so how do customers interact, how do our customers interact within their own employee group or if those employees want to interact with vendors, suppliers, who may be on a different platform. So federation starts to bring that together. And so we've definitely, AT&T has done that with a federation as a service type of a product offering that we have. With AT&T Collaborate, we're focused on the integration aspect of basically being able to allow an AT&T Collaborate customer to use that as a product that can integrate with, for example, a Skype for business, via some sort of a plug-in or an add-in type of an approach. And so that way, if the customer and their employees are comfortable using Skype for business, that's fine, we don't need to displace that. But AT&T Collaborate can be the voice engine, the public switched calling engine behind that because AT&T has a reputation for the reliability, the quality and security that customers may be more inclined to want to rely on an AT&T for that part of their service. Let's talk about the top three things that you're asked most by your customers. I mean, we're in a transformative world right now, digital transformation of the buzzword. What are the top three things that you hear most? I think it's, number one, how are you going to help me AT&T? How are you going to help me get from this environment that has maybe a lot of legacy components to it, older technology, big trend towards cloud, towards mobility, so how can you help me get there? Number one, what products do you have in the portfolio? But do you also have the support, the implementation support, the post-sale support? And so we bring all that to bear. And consulting services too, right? Consulting services, exactly. That's another key component because of all the complexity that all these different solutions are bringing to the market. So mobility is a big one. Mobility is definitely a big one. Security, you know, how are you going to ensure that if we move to the cloud, you know, with all the news stories you hear, but all the security breaches, what are you AT&T going to bring to the table that can help ensure that my data, my information as a customer is secure in your cloud? I mean, data loss, as we were saying on the intro, is a big deal, but here's the thing. With mobility and APIs in cloud, the surface area for attacks goes up significantly and it's like Swiss cheese, so there's no more perimeter. No, that's exactly right. And we have another area of the portfolio at AT&T, our whole security portfolio that revolves around how do we improve the customer's confidence in us in terms of how we can secure that cloud environment. What's your vision going forward for this unified communication space? This show is the center of all the action for this world. But now you've got the software world colliding in with it. You've got cloud, you've got mobile. Software is the value proposition at the center of all the action. DevOps, mobile, all the stuff around it. What's the future of this industry? Yeah, I see that trend only continuing and I see it accelerating actually. And so more and more applications are going to be pushed out there. More customers are going to have a more diverse set of applications that they're going to want to rely upon. The challenge for communications providers then is again, how do we integrate with that? How do we help customers support that? And at the end of the day, it's about how do we help customers run their businesses more efficiently? And that's really about employee productivity, improving business processes. So customers care about how are you going to help my business? Not what the vendors care about. They have their objectives. Yeah, no, that's true. And we have to remember that too. We can't get wander on the axle and the technology and what's possible. We got to understand our customers and then deliver solutions that make sense to them. I just have a practical, two practical questions. Number one, when can I eat this food? And number two, in terms of mobile deployment, are these clients or is it a browser-based thing? Yeah, great question. So the AT&T Collaborate, again, we're pre-announcing it. We're going to make it available at the end of April in a controlled introduction fashion. We first want to make sure everything that we spent all of our development energy building that it actually works and it works the way we expect it to so we can deliver a good customer experience. Now as we get through that controlled introduction period, we're going to expand availability. We're going to amplify it more loudly in the market. And so between now and the end of the year, I think you'll see more and more of that from AT&T. So in terms of when you can eat the dog food, relatively soon, we got to get it out there and make sure we can scale it to meet all the use cases that we're targeting for the product.  So I'll pose it to you. You know, when theCUBE started six years ago, one of the first events we went to was a small event called Hadoop World. No one's ever heard of Hadoop, some small company named Cloudera. And then it became the big data, but there was an incumbent market of data warehouses and business intelligence that were all siloed based solutions. This show feels a little bit like that. That's going to break out. And it's not about the old way of doing things. It's about the new way. Your thoughts. Yeah, and on the big data front, I mean Cloudera, that's just, we're just beginning in terms of the possibilities there, especially when you think about what's going on with the internet of things, device connectivity, that type of thing. So that and the analytics related to it is going to be a critical piece of the business going forward for the industry in general. So there's a lot of challenges that we're going to have to tackle as we collectively go down that path as an industry. But yeah, that's another huge area that's ripe for opportunity. If you think about collaboration and you're only as good as the data you're dealing with to make collaborative decisions. So it seems to be central into the core of the operations. Yeah, no, without a doubt, without a doubt. Well, the other challenge of course here is that, historically communications is thought of as sort of like a point-to-point connection, whether it's an IM or whatever. And the reality is making this sort of an integral part of how we do everything that we do all day long, multimodal, seamless UIs and all that sort of stuff, right?  I would think you'd have some pretty interesting perspectives on that given your customer base and so on and so forth. Yeah, particularly, and you're right, because AT&T has a legacy history and so we've got a lot of customers on some of these older technologies. AT&T Collaborate will be a great catch product for a lot of those customers as they move from that legacy environment. And that's one critical part of the strategy for us is making sure, obviously we want to keep those customers with AT&T, a lot of good offerings out there. We want to have an offering that makes a lot of sense for those customers and then help them get from where they are to where they... Yeah, you guys have huge capabilities and I think that's the key thing that people don't realize on big companies like that are transforming. But at the end of the day, the connectivity is important but you look at the trends out there, like Oculus Rift and Virtual Reality, AI, this is the new communication, omnichannel retail. So no matter what the app is, it's a omnisomething, more data, more rich media, more graphics, more data. Yeah, and you mentioned, we bring to bear the connectivity, obviously, as AT&T with the breadth of our footprint. It's also about the quality of service and reliability that we have such a history in. And so we're going to leverage that with AT&T Collaborate as well. AT&T Collaborate, we're going to sell it in what we call a transport agnostic fashion. Customer doesn't have to have AT&T transport. But part of the value proposition is when they have AT&T transport, we can enable them with that quality of service that we're known for. My other co-host, Dave Vellante in the queue, always says, you can't go wrong with more compute and more bandwidth. And that seems to be, give me more.  No, and especially as businesses are trying to find more and more ways to improve their businesses, improve their processes, make their employees more productive. You know, it's just creating an increased demand for products in those areas. I want to ask one more under the hood question. You obviously, AT&T has a relationship working with Microsoft selling Skype for Business, working with Cisco and a bunch of very high quality partners. Is Collaborate built on some synthesis of that or is it from the ground up built or I don't know if you feel comfortable commenting on that or not. I can share some on that. So yeah, we built AT&T Collaborate in AT&T's own cloud. So we're not reselling someone else's cloud product. It's our own platform in our own cloud. And you mentioned Cisco and Microsoft. I mentioned earlier the sweet spot, I think initially is going to be in that small to medium space. Now as we start to scale up market where Cisco and Microsoft have gained a lot more traction, you know, we're going to have to leverage other parts of our portfolio. But again, the intent is to continue to build out AT&T Collaborate, develop it into the lead offer in that space for small to large customers. So would you see actually going down, sorry John, going down into sort of the spaces where the eight by eights and the ring centrals in Vonage to some extent, going after that SMB space or is that not really part of the target? No, we'll be playing in that same space. We'll be playing in that same space. But we're not going to be contained there. And I think a lot of the names you just mentioned are wrestling with some of the same challenges that we will in terms of when you scale it up market, you've got to bring to bear the resources to help you in a more complex environment. The project management expertise, the consulting expertise that you mentioned earlier. And so we've got a lot of those assets and a lot of those capabilities, a lot of those organizational, you know, personnel. So we're going to bring those to bear as we pursue that end of the market. And the other thing you've got, I think, which is really interesting is if you go look at the data out there for what it really costs companies like Ring Central and those guys to do customer acquisition, it's a huge number, you know, and add churn to that. And you begin to look at this economic model which is not particularly encouraging, right? AT&T obviously has phenomenal brand name and market presence, right? So you've got, I would assume, a huge advantage there to be able to execute if you can. Yeah, and it's all about taking care of the customer and meeting, you know, their needs again and we've got to earn that business, right? We've got to establish that credibility with this new product and that's what we intend to do. Super. All right, well thanks for coming on theCUBE. Appreciate AT&T here on theCUBE, on the ground here at Enterprise Connect 2016. I'm John Furrier, thanks for watching.


Hello it's Missy! Thank you for watching! Today's video is three high bun hairstyles. I haven't posted one of these tutorials in a while so I hope you enjoy the hairstyles that I've come up with. Comment down below if you have a favorite. I will let you know at the end of the video which one is my favorite. Like and subscribe if you're new to my channel, click that little bell then you'll never miss any future videos and let's get started! For the first hairstyle I'm going to begin by brushing all of my hair together at the crown of my head. Using a hairband I'm going to tie it all together into a high ponytail. Now I'm going to divide the ponytail into two equal sections and work with each section individually. Starting with the right section I'm going to take this hair and create a C-shaped loop tucking the hair back around the hairband. So I'm pulling the hairband out at the back of my head and I'm wrapping the section around the hairband so it's going back through creating a loop and then the ends will be sticking out the right side of the bun. Then I'm going to repeat the same process with the other section of hair at the front of the bun. So I'm taking the section on the left side and I'm going to pull out a section of the hairband at the front of the bun and I'm going to create a C-shaped loop with the section of hair. I'm going to tuck the section around the hairband so it creates a loop and then the ends are sticking out on the left side of the bun. Now I'm going to braid the two end sections that are sticking out on each side of the bun. So starting with the section on the right side I'm going to divide the section into three equal pieces and I'm crossing the side strands under the middle strand alternating between the right and the left side sections. So I'm just crossing the left side under the middle then crossing the right side under the middle and working my way down to the ends. Then once the braid reaches the bottom I'm going to slide a bobby pin over the end of the braid so it doesn't unravel. And now I can go back over the braid and gently pull on the sides so it loosens out of the bobby pin just slightly. This will make the braid look a little bit more casual and it will also become wider and more full. Now I'm going to braid the ends on the left side of the bun so I'm dividing the section into three smaller pieces and I'm crossing the side strands under the middle strand alternating between the left and the right side strands and I'm going to repeat this pattern working my way down to the ends of the hair. And once the braid reaches the bottom again I'm going to slide a bobby pin over the end of the braid. And then I can go back over it and gently pull on the sides to widen the braid and make it look fuller than it is. So now once both braids are done I'm going to wrap and pin both of them to finish off the bun. So I'm taking the braid from the right side of my head and I'm going to wrap it around the front of the bun. And since there's a bobby pin already on the end of the braid I'm simply going to slide it into the hair towards the center of the bun. Then I'm going to take the braid from the left side of my head and wrap this one around the back of the braid doing the same technique as before sliding the bobby pin at the end of the braid into the hair towards the center of the bun to hold the braid in place. I'm also going to add in some more bobby pins wherever the bun or braid feels a little bit loose and this will also help close off any gaps anywhere in the bun as well. For the next bun this is a style I saw trending on social media. It has a 90s vibe so to create this style I'm going to begin by brushing all of my hair up into a high ponytail again.  Now I'm going to divide off small sections of hair from the ponytail and wrap these into the small curled sections of the bun. So I'm taking a half inch section of hair from the ponytail and what I'm going to do is just wrap this small section around my left pointer finger and I'm wrapping the entire section of hair all the way to the ends.  Then I'm going to grab some bobby pins and I'm going to pin both sides of the curl. So I'm just gripping a small bit of hair on one side of the loop and then I'm going to push the pin in so it's horizontal along the curled section. And I'm going to pin both the left side and the right side just to ensure that it's going to stay pinned in place.  I'm wrapping the sections forwards towards my face and I'm wrapping the entire section down to the ends so it's all inside this loop. Then I'm laying the section against my head in front of the hair band and I'm going to pin both the left and the right sides of the loop with bobby pins. And I'm just going to repeat this pattern rolling small sections of hair until basically all of the hair from the ponytail is rolled and pinned at the top of my head. I worked in a clockwise pattern around the hair band so starting basically on the left front side of the bun I laid the first sections against my head and then I began piling a second section on top of that first row. I also made sure to divide off different sized sections anywhere between a quarter of an inch and a half inch in thickness. I didn't want sections that were too big or sections that were too small. Once I worked my way across the front of the bun then I moved down the right side and then around to the back section of the bun and as I'm wrapping and pinning I'm going to make sure to look at the style from all angles just to make sure that the bun is staying in one spot, one central area at the top of my head. It's easy to add too much hair into one side and then the bun kind of ends up looking lopsided. So once I wrapped and pinned sections around the entire base of the bun I used the last few sections in the center to kind of build the bun out a little bit and add some height. It's easy to wrap and pin each section as you go to ensure the end result will look the way you like. This style does take a little bit of extra time to create but I think it's really cute and it's actually something that I wore all the time for formal events when I was younger so I think it's really fun that it's trending again. For the third hairstyle I'm going to begin this look by brushing all of my hair into a high ponytail again.  On the last wrap of the hairband though I'm going to pull the hair only part way through to create a loop in the hair so the ends should be pointing towards the top of my head towards my face and I'm going to use this section of hair sticking out to braid them into a regular three strand braid. So I'm splitting the section into three smaller pieces and I'm going to cross the side strands over the middle strand alternating between the left and the right side strands. Then once the braid reaches the ends I'm going to take the braid and wrap it around the right side of the bun. I need the braid to be fuller and more disheveled just for this specific style so I'm going to gently pull on the edges to loosen small sections from the braid. This is what will help make it look wider and more full as well. Then I'm just going to continue wrapping the ends of the braid around the base of the bun and pin it over the top of the hairband and now I'm going to go back over the looped section of the bun on the left side and gently pull on small sections in opposite directions working my way up from bottom to top. This will just add texture to this looped section and then once that's done I'm going to go back over the whole style and pinch and pull on the hair at the top of my head and add some volume here. I'm also going to pin down the braid and make sure the style feels nice and pinned. Then once that's all done I can set everything with hairspray and smooth down any flyaway pieces. That wraps up today's video. Comment down below if you had a favorite hairstyle of the three. My favorite was the first one. I just thought that was a really unique way to do a high bun.

Great places to go to meet women. Gentlemen, welcome back. My name is Kevin Samuels, your godfather style. And guys, we all know that image is four parts. Appearance, behavior, communication and digital footprint. And after you get your appearance together, guys, you've got to go outside. And one of the questions I get asked most often, what do you go to meet quality women? Gentlemen, that's a broad question. But let me just tell you this for me, it's pretty simple.  You guys know I'm a recent Atlanta transplant and one of the places I've gone to meet women around here is actually charity events, volunteer events, kill two birds at one stone. One, think about the mentality or the kind of attitude of a person you're going to meet at a charity event. It's kind of hard to meet a selfish, self-consumed person that's going to be given something to somebody or doing something with somebody. Shout out to the CIA. You want to love FBI? You want to become part of the movement? Make sure you join me on Patreon for exclusive video and live stream content. Join me on that platform for things you will only see there. Details down in the description. And it gives you something to talk about while you're there. So many different things you can actually get plugged into a local community and have a chance to meet wonderful women. Another great place is a no-brainer, your local coffee shop. Yes, Starbucks is the standby, but actually try the neat trendy coffee shops in like uptown and midtown or the kind of bohemian eclectic parts of town. Yeah, don't always go to Starbucks. Try independent places that maybe have a mixture of local artists, different local artists, different themes that's kind of unique to your city. I find these are great places to actually network and meet women. You'd be amazed at what you find in some of these downtown and uptown kind of hipster areas. Don't overlook this one. It is killer. Now, the one of these no-brainer to me is something like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's or Target, all those fit the kind of same place.  Also, don't overlook little neighborhood markets like Eatsies or any place that has flowers, candles, wine, or a single woman can actually go pick up her dinner on the way home. York City, when I lived in Manhattan, they were full of these kind of places. They were great places to actually meet your neighbors, interact with other people. Great place to meet women. As when you're out meeting women, you have to make sure you're rocking a killer fragrance. Simple, clean, masculine always works. I just made a video talking about great office fragrances. Any one of those are due. But when I'm thinking about a killer fragrance that actually gets conversations started, Tom Ford, Udewood or Baikili Enrolling in Love, something like Dior Amber Nui or YSL Tuxedo, one of my most complimented fragrances several years back, Armani Rose DRB or one of the big three, Acudigio Profumo, Blu de Chanel or Dior Sauvage. Any one of those killer fragrances will work well while you're out and about trying to meet women. Another great place to meet women is actually where you would pick those fragrances up. Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Big Box Luxury Stores.  Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus. I've always had so much luck interacting with women there. Guys, do me a favor. Hit me up in the comments section. There are plenty of other places that I'm sure you guys will say there are other places to meet women. But I tell you the kind of women I like to interact with tend to hang out these places. You can't overlook the latest trendy bar, the latest restaurant. But, you know, I didn't want to make this list too long. And I actually didn't want to go place where the music was really, really loud.  High five. Out. Hey, guys, with the look, style or life or the personal profession, you can level up and be your personal best each and every day. If you're interested in any of that, do us both a favor. Follow the link in the description and book your one on one session with me. Details down in the description. Peace.
