From the cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada, it's theCUBE, covering Coupa Inspire 2019. Brought to you by Coupa. Hey, welcome to theCUBE, Lisa Martin coming to you from Las Vegas, Coupa Inspire 19. I'm excited to be welcoming to theCUBE for the first time, Robbie Talker, the SVP of business acceleration from Coupa. Robbie, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, Lisa, appreciate it. So day one, everybody had started the day off, the general session was lots of information from Rob, we heard from Malcolm Gladwell, one of my favorite storytellers. If I can master telling a story the way he does, that would be awesome. But we've also heard from some customers today, we had Lulu Lemon on, Staples, KPMG, Deloitte, people are excited about the innovations and how Coupa is really helping to transform the CPO, the CFO and help these guys and gals become much more strategic. Lots of change there and lots of forcing functions too, like consumerization and pricing pressures and all these things. But something that you guys announced back in, I believe November 2018, just about six months ago was Coupapay. Talk to us a little bit about Coupapay in the spirit of this event's theme of spend smarter together. What is Coupapay, what were some of the gaps in the market that you guys saw and thought we could help B2B customers uncriple themselves? Yeah, absolutely, thanks. Thanks for those questions, Lisa. You know, I've been with Coupa for over 12 years now and throughout that time, I've had thousands of conversations with spend management professionals across all different topics. But whenever payments would come up, there's always a sense of like, it's kind of a nightmare, it's a mess for us, let's not talk about that. And what we've seen is that, you know, a lot of large companies have multiple ERP systems and when you have multiple ERP systems, trying to get a hold of the data and being able to control the funds going out can be a little bit of a challenge. Then when you start mixing in that there's so many different ways to pay suppliers, you know, whether it's a credit card or a digital check or cross-border payment, whatever it may be, it becomes a big conglomeration of a big nightmare. And so when we started looking at payments, we wanted to figure out, well, how can we simplify this experience for our customers? Because we already have best in class procurement, best in class AP automation, adding payments was kind of an easy decision. Natural evolution? A natural evolution of how we were progressing or kind of move into business spend manager, categorization of business spend management. And so when we started the journey, we made the decision maybe about 18 months ago to actually start getting into this a little bit. And we started off, as you mentioned last November with announcing virtual cards on purchase orders. We've started adding other things like early pay discounts, which are kind of a financing type of solution. And just yesterday or actually just today, Rob announced general availability for invoice payments, which is really the workhorse of payments really. It's taking all of your invoices that you have as a company and how do you pay your different suppliers? I can imagine a company would have multiple banks that they're dealing with to pay different suppliers. Different suppliers probably had different preferences. And then what's the percentage of invoices that are being paid by paper check still? Yeah, I mean, in the US, I think at a statistic from 2016, it's a couple of years dated, but it's 51% of payments in the US is still via check. It's crazy. And I had a meeting earlier today with a pretty large customer and they're telling me about how their treasury, the woman that runs treasury for them, she walks around with the key fob of 12 different key fobs for two factor authentication to log into 12 different banks all over the world. And a lot of that is very painful. It's opens themselves up to a lot of inefficiencies to risk to potential fraud. And with the payment solutions that we're offering that we're actually now generally available with, we're able to solve a lot of those challenges. It's really exciting for us. Absolutely and driving up the efficiency of accounts payable by having all of these options, can imagine from a customer's perspective, all of the elements in that business that are going to get tighter, going to get more simple and where it's going to really be an enabler of an organization's overall digital business transformation. Yeah, it's one of the last areas of transformation we see in business spend management. We've already as mentioned the procurement process, AP automation, we already handle expense reporting. And now when you starting to look at payments and doing it at the scale that we're looking at doing, there are a lot of payment solutions out there, a lot of payment providers, but none of them have the backing of the procurement process. None of them have the rich invoice data that we bring to the table, let alone the ability for us to send payments, do payments domestically across the globe, which is a very unique differentiator for us, along with being able to pay out cross-border payments in hundreds of countries. Now, the other thing that we've seen from organizations, especially as the way that the economy and organizations have evolved, you're not just paying a supplier that has ACH information, right? They're not willing to provide you with their bank account information. It might be a five-person flower shop that you need to buy flowers from occasionally. It may be temp labor that you have hired for certain projects or contingent workforce for certain projects, or maybe even paying back your employees through expense reports. And so as we've architected our payment solutions, we've looked at all of these together and figured out what are the different optimal ways to do that. As a matter of fact, we're announcing a partnership with PayPal. So in order to now send payments via PayPal from a business PayPal account from our customer to the PayPal accounts of some of their smaller suppliers. So that's a unique way that we're thinking about what are the common use cases scenarios in the consumer world and bringing that into the business environment? Yeah, that consumerization effect is so interesting because we're all consumers every day, whether we're shopping for some beach wear for our backyard barbecue or something on Amazon or whatever happens to be, we have this expectation culturally we're trained, we can find anything, we can get anything, we can see all the suppliers and the different prices and select, read all these reviews. Because we're so conditioned to that in our everyday lives, those people that are doing that then have buying decisions and buying roles in their companies expect the same experience. Right, absolutely. And you guys are listening to your customers and enabling that, which is huge, hugely impactful to every industry. Manufacturing, retail, healthcare, you name it. Yeah, yeah, any business that has employees, which is every business in the world. You know, it's a great point, right? I mean, just the consumerization of all of these different aspects of business and that's where, you know, as we started, when we started Coupa and as we've continued to grow throughout our expansion, it's just really listening to our customers, listening to the vibrant community that we've created. You know, I met a lot of meetings today and I met with another customer a couple of hours ago and he was super excited about how he's been on our Coupa community. We have a portal for our customers. They can put in their ideas and talk about and have conversations. He just loves the way that we've been able to react and be able to implement a number of his solutions that have made his life easier along with the broader community of buyers that we have. Hey, all the marketing material talks about this BSM community that is developing together. And that was one of the themes I felt that I heard from Rob this morning during his general session is this, not only is this community incredibly rich with data, $1.2 trillion of money they're going through this, which is a 5x multiplier from, I think he showed us that it's a 2016, but it's also encouraging suppliers that are in there, customers that are in there, are able to learn and save from each other. The collaboration element was really, I thought, quite potent and it sounded like quite a differentiator to me. Right, absolutely. And when you think about it, I think Rob talked about what we're calling prescriptions, right? Yes, 18,000 so far. Right, exactly. And the ability to take a look at it, it's not just $1.2 trillion worth of spend, it's 5 million suppliers. It's not all of them have catalog items, but a lot of them do have catalog items. It's looking across millions of purchase orders, millions of invoices across the system and being able to rationalize and look at data and look at all of these different trends that no one's able to do. And really it's just the beginning of the power of what we're doing. We've introduced our business spend index, which is a leading indicator of how the economy and businesses are operating. We're really just starting to scratch the surface in this area. I mean, 1,000 customers is great, but as we continue to grow and expand and multiply our customer base, we're gonna be able to help things around broader supply chain initiatives, help things around sustainability, help organizations figure out, are they working with suppliers that are not only suppliers that are risky, which we do today, but what about tier two suppliers or tier three suppliers that have a potential risk in their supply chain? And as we start to accumulate a lot more data, we're able to do things that really no one's ever been able to do ever. So back, thinking back the 12 years that you have at Coupa and the massive transformation that you've seen in every industry, this, all of these different disruptors, like we talked about earlier, all of the changes that are really forcing CPUs and CFOs to become sort of those fraud detectors and those strategic thinkers because they can see there, this isn't just about buying and sourcing. There is tremendous business potential by having that visibility where all your spend is in one platform. That's absolutely transformational. Yeah, what do businesses do? They spend money or they sell goods or services and we have half of that equation and we're doing it at a scale that hasn't been seen before. So yeah, the ability for us to over what we've seen over the past 12 years, not just what's happening at a macroeconomic level, that's a big part of it, but just in general, what's the thinking of the CPOs? What's the thinking of the CFOs? How are they starting to look at things?  The empathy for their suppliers in making business decisions? And we're now part of that conversation. We're part of that equation as these companies are looking at these things. And have you seen the rules of the CPO and the CFO start to change, to start embracing emerging technologies, embracing AI and machine learning and understanding how that can really, once they have the data and they can apply intelligence and train the machines, how much potential they have or are they receptive now? It's just the start. It's just the start. I mean, when I joined Coupa 12 years ago, Salesforce is really just starting to get going with the whole SaaS thing. And it's been a phenomenal change. We had the opportunity to have lunch with Malcolm Gladwell today as an executive team. And one of the things that we talked about was Silicon Valley and what's happening in general with technology. And he put it very clearly. He said we're in the first minute of the technology revolution. It's still super early in how things are moving and transforming in this world. And we're at the forefront today. We want to continue to be there as the world changes. So lots of exciting news today. You mentioned PayPal. What are some of the other things that are going to be coming out this week that are exciting to you and your customers? Yeah, so a lot of things that are coming out for payments specifically, we're going to be announcing a number of partnerships in the morning. I'll be announcing a number of partnerships on the main stage. We're doing, as mentioned, something with PayPal. We're going to announce that Citibank has joined as a virtual card issuer on the CoupaPay platform. They're one of the largest global issuers in the world. We're introducing Transformat as a strategic partner for money movement. And kind of one of the more unique things is, when you think about payments and when you think about our community of buyers and suppliers, it's buyers and it's suppliers. And so we want to start spending more time and more focus, at least from a payment standpoint, on how can we make it easier for suppliers to do business with their customers. We're also going to announce an integration with Stripe. So Stripe is one of the bigger fintechs in the world, one of the darling fintech companies around. And what they're doing is, because of their capabilities around the card processing standpoint, not to get into too much of the details, but we can now enable a super or a higher level of efficiency for card acceptance, for suppliers that hasn't been seen before through our virtual card capabilities. So we're really excited about these partnerships and there's a lot more to come over the next several months here. It's well, to borrow this from Malcolm Gladwell, the fact that he thinks we're in the first minute of this technology revolution is like, oh, shocking. But what all I've heard all day today is customer centricity, supplier centricity. Robbie, thank you so much for stopping by theCUBE and giving us some of your time on this very exciting day. I know day two will be probably as action packed tomorrow, but we appreciate your time. Thank you very much. My pleasure. Appreciate it. For Robbie Talker, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE from Koopa Inspire 19. Thanks for watching. Thank you.


So we are back with another How Divers 2 video and today guys we cover the latest and greatest surrounding this game in regards to new leaks, new weapon gameplay, a few other bits and bobs, as well as speculation on a stealth nerf to the last 16 Sickle! Yes, you heard that right! How is it going my beautiful people? My name is DPJ and I had a winner of yesterday's 2100 super credits giveaway is seen on screen now and you want to win 2100 super credits or the game if you're yet to own it It's simple liberate this video with a massive thumbs up Make sure you are subbed with those post notifications turned on and leave me a comment down below Simple as that people and winners run out sometime hours How Divers 2 videos. Okay, so let's go guys So we got a patch earlier today. This is patch of 1.000 0.103 now since this patch I have seen about four or five reports now from big-time players to about the last 16 sickle Which is a weapon exclusive to the latest warbind receiving a stealth Nerf now this warbound weapon is very very popular Since the warbind released and people have got their hands on this weapon and tested it I mean if you search YouTube for does not a negative thing Anyone is saying about it. In fact people have been predicting that a nerf is gonna come For this weapon and now all of a sudden after the latest patch I am seeing people claim they feel it's received that stealth nerf a lot of people reporting on the fact It seems as though it overheats much much quicker now and a couple of people stating that it just doesn't seem as potent as it once did Now I personally I haven't bought this warbind yet So I can't test and before and after but I would love your guys opinion on it How does it feel now to you if you have the warbind you have this weapon and it's your go-to? So a lot of people's go-to weapon. It was classed as a new metal weapon But now I'm seeing people state it feels though has been stealth nerfed There's no no mention of this nerf in the latest patch notes whatsoever Whether they will come out and state that you see that stealth nerf if indeed it did receive a stealth nerf is another question though Now what I will say is there was a lot of reports from companies like IGN Big old publishers like this stating that the games now pay to win because the best weapon in the game It's now tied behind a warbind a warbind which costs super credits Lo and behold you can earn super credits for free in this game people I mean, where's the pay to win the PvE game where the currency used to buy the latest warbind can earn for free in the game It doesn't make sense to me IGN spewing shit as usual But you never know if our head of took this into account and just dropped a slight nerf on it So it isn't as potent as it once was who knows people who knows but do let me know your thoughts on this Down below. Do you feel it's received a nerf or does it feel completely fine to you? Just as did before let us know guys, but it would be a little shady if they did stealth nerf this weapon But hey arrowhead of already got previous with how diverse to in nerfing people's favorite go-to's So nothing would surprise me here Okay, so we're gonna move on to the latest and greatest leaks surrounding the game again These are spoiler territory if you don't want to be spoiled and what's possible future story do leave the video now guys Okay, so let's go. So we have all heard about Illumina a enemy faction Believe to be coming to the game those blue laser beams in the sky. I mean there's plenty of data mine files Images of the actual enemies models Models of their weapons and one which was checked out at the end of the video which being textured and looks incredible But yeah, there are also tons and tons of audio files Leaking being data mine from the game added with every single patch I mean the more patches that come the more these things seem to be added into the game Which are tied to the illuminate Now I ain't gonna play all of these sounds because it goes on for about half an hour There's actually three posts. I've seen so far in regards to these sounds and which are tied to the illuminate But I will link them down below credit to mouse TTV over on the how divers leaks reddit for dropping these to the world wide web So if you want to check them out listen to them all be my guest I'll link them down below, but as the days go on guys We'll see more and more on the illuminate this enemy faction Which was a part of how diverse one making its way into how diverse to now me personally From what I've seen and what I've researched. I don't think we're gonna see these anytime soon I'm thinking maybe within the next six months. That's what I'm thinking But there are people out there that are actually quite sure that we'll see these within the next month or two Who knows guys who knows what again these audio sounds these files You'll see a link down below if you want to check them out and listen to them for yourself Okay, so next up guys, we have some brand new gameplay of the last 99 quays the cannon Stratagem this one comes from and credit to seat International 805 now the gameplay is just over eight minutes long Obviously ain't gonna showcase all of this if you do you want to check out the entire video you you can all link it down below But what I get from this is people are still unsure about the performance this thing will offer now I actually think it's smart to Realize that we shouldn't be trusting Leaked gameplay footage in regards to gameplay balance and how a weapon will perform These shouldn't be in the game yet. They ain't in the game yet These have been taken out of the game files and modded in how they perform when they actually arrive in game Could be no end date to what we're seeing in regards to the gameplay And I've actually seen with the last 99 quays a cannon So when people say it will take out a bio type and one shot others say it takes three or four shots I think it could be down to the angle This thing's being fired and where it's hitting in regards to the enemy But as of right now, this is the gameplay we have and people saying it's a little bit wonky There's something not right about it, but again, this is what balance patches are for This is why they play test certain things and I have no doubt when the last 99 quays You can and eventually hits the game. It will be balanced out. There's no to which way is about that Next up guys, we have more gameplay of brand new weapons and stratagems not yet in the game We see gameplay of the commando, which looks absolutely incredible to me We see the silo missile, which I've covered in a previous video and we see the pistol grenade launcher Which although wouldn't fit my playstyle, this thing looks like it hits like an absolute beast And you've seen them in the background now. Now could it to these goals to solve? I'll link his video in the video description if you do want to check it out The video goes on for 16 minutes or almost 16 minutes. There's plenty of gameplay footage I will not feature here, but yes for me right now the commando looks like it's going to be a goal, too The silo missile also looks like a beast and the pistol grenade launcher like I said in a previous video I'm going to cover this.  It could be the perfect weapon for you But yes, let me know your thoughts on this down below Next up guys, we have a possible new boss the automaton fleet ship Now cover this in a video briefly earlier It was dropped unreaded by iron sights who textures these models that I found within the game files and make some look like How they will eventually come and hit the game and they do look incredible So could it to this dude now the thing about this is it's the scale of it How big this in gears and why this thing needs to be even in the game if it isn't a bus or there Ain't some kind of and I'm speculating here people some form of space battle coming because this thing The scale of it is going to be absolutely enormous now the weapon attached to the bottom of this thing I covered in a video day before yesterday. I believe it's a rail cannon This thing is believed to be the size of eight by all Titans side by side That's how long this thing is now you see that only takes about half of that ship about two thirds of that ship So how big is this shit people it's going to be absolutely massive And the reason this is believed to be a bus is through a few of our data mined files We see which you're seeing on screen now, which I believe we're tied to this ship Whatever this thing is. So yes, but it is early days many things can change But man, oh man, I cannot wait to see this thing in the game in those skies flying above us It's gonna be incredible now next up guys. We have another leak from mouse TTV now what these are I believe to be super earth map Textures we see mud grass forest and moss now It is believed that super earth will eventually be a map where we may have to defend this a lot of previous leaks have Pointed this way we see a couple of unused ads within the game files Which also point towards us defending our home defending super earth and now we're seeing new map Textures for super earth being added into the game I mean, I don't think it's going to be any time soon I reckon this could be tied in with the automaton and what's going down with them But I do feel super earth will eventually be a place We will eventually have to defend and I cannot wait for that guys And now moving on to what we see here, which is a drop from Ironsight's a possible Super earth player card now. This is all speculation. It's just a look at this to me That's what it's screaming at me, but let me know your thoughts on this down below guys Okay, so lastly today again by Ironsight's who's Incredible in regards to adding textures to models within the game files We see this illuminate enemy pathfinder. How cool does this indeed look? And I can see he's holding what looks like a I don't know like a circle But that's actually a whip by I'm hearing people say this can take the form of a sword a disc and a few other things that is a lot in regards to the Enemy faction of the illuminate. There's plenty to learn about these if you didn't play how dive is one like me I suggest you do go to the wiki if you're interested in learning about these. There's plenty of them They look like a formidable force and it's only just a matter of time before we do see these in game sooner later Who knows guys, but this looks incredible And I just hope that when these do eventually come into the game We get some illuminate theme weapons we can get our hands on too But we will just have to wait and see but there we have it guys for another how diverse to news Leak round up guys if you did enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out if you like what you see I want to see more be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys. I will see you on that next one

I think I had only heard I Had only heard the the Instagram law, okay, so At this time, I think it was the Instagram See and see what would happen in what would happen was on the radio and shit They would take that Instagram live and they will mix it into the song On the radio that was so hard when they take my first second verse they had an Instagram live playing they had to mix it up Get down on my knees when I'm in pain It's what I dropping that on the radio, so that's crazy.

The adult zebrafish is a reliable model for studying human cutaneous wound healing due to its similarities to humans. This model has been used to evaluate the effects of diabetes on wound healing using octave to measure changes in the tissue structure and vasculature over time. Diabetic wounds exhibited slower wound closure and impaired angiogenesis compared to non-diabetic wounds indicating that this model could be useful for evaluating the efficacy of drugs for treating diabetic wounds.

Hi Michael when you got in there you walked better you gave up a single and you ended your outing retiring 16 straight. What were you able to do that allowed you to get so many betters out. I ended up just kind of attacking the zone. The first four pitches were a little scary. I felt like I was kind of hitting my lanes and everything and then I just felt like it didn't have the run on the baseball so I just was missing glove side and then I Was able to lock it in and I don't know I was able to get ahead of almost everybody Throwing both sinker cutter for strikes Had some pretty good change up So I was just able to kind of get ahead of the count and get into the dugout as fast as I can So it's good. You mentioned that cutter. How improved is that pitch for you? Yeah, it's been it's been good I last year I always struggled with making my slider It was too slow and so throwing the cutter kind of brought the Velo back and what I want to get it I know I can get it up like 91 92 But I also feel comfortable kind of making it bigger and that was today I was I was using it as more of a like a slutter slider type pitch that was 84 86 and and Was able to get some some pretty good takes and some some ugly swings and misses Still early in the season, but what does an outing do like this for your confidence against a team with a pretty potent offense? yeah, I Faced the Blue Jays a lot all those like younger guys in the minor leagues a lot so I've seen them a lot and We had a pretty good game playing going into it and then I was just kind of able to take the Confidence I had in spring training over into the end of the season I felt like I was in a pretty good spot towards the end of spring training and then was just able to execute out there on the on the stage We'll take the next one from Tom Mariam Michael, how important do you see the role of the long reliever on this team throughout the season? It used to be not such a significant role, but it seems to have gained importance. Yeah, I think a lot of teams are gonna Kind of gain some importance with long relievers Whether it's that or a six starter even seven starters, whatever it is Just to kind of keep the bullpen healthy But also make sure that you're not having three four starters go 200 plus innings this year So yeah, I mean I my goal was to get a hundred innings this year and impact the team and I guess I'm six down so far Next one from Jordan Harobin Hey Michael Aaron Boone said that you've come a long way I think he's just reflecting sort of on your time obviously not just today, but in your career so far How would you kind of reflect on? What it's taken for you to get to this point? Yeah, I Kind of underestimated how tough it is to come back from an injury and so in 2019 when I got hurt I just kind of totally got out of my mechanics totally got out of my mindset that I had previous years and I Showed spurts of it in 2020 And then even like my first outing this year in spring training was back to my my bad ways But because I've been able to kind of Have a few good outings under my belt I don't know if that's what's given me the confidence or I was able to get the the right feeling in my mechanics and get it back but Blake Harkie and I we made some pretty good tweaks to mechanics to pitch sequencing to just even just different pitches that Have allowed me to have success at this level so Kind of all those little tweaks added to to the confidence that I've gotten And then just in terms of your role Aaron mentioned, you know you being able to do a lot of different things for this team What do you view as sort of your ideal role if you could try to I ideally I'd love to be a starter I always picture myself as a starter, but I mean we got six seven eight studs on this team so I also pride myself in being versatile where I could go out there in a relief role and still go six or I Don't know whether it's get one out and try to get a ground ball out double play whatever it is If I'm versatile, I feel like then I'm able to be used in in any Circumstance, and then hopefully I just kind of get the confidence of the coaches to put me in those in those situations extra time We can take a final question from Max Goodman And Mike do you recall ever retiring 16 in a row before so that's something you've done in your career I mean in the minor leagues. Yeah. Yeah, I had a couple I would say my best minor league outing was actually against New Hampshire, which is the blue J So it's that's one of the games that I always go kind of go back to and I'm like alright if I'm in a bad way I go back to it was like July 6th. There's something against the against New Hampshire So that's where I've kind of seen these hitters a lot where it's not just me facing them But then I also watch a lot of video on that so yeah, I've had a couple that Have been have been pretty good, but not none of the big league level obviously

I was like, I need to meet people and like speed dating manifested. This is your first time, I'm assuming. No, no, I'm here all the time. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, it's going great. I mean a lot of people get a lot of different numbers.  Right in the deep end. Oh, yeah. So let's do it. So what if I was to tell you that aliens exist and they actually wish on us? Ready, set, go. So we've been living for a while. I was working as a corporate attorney, but it just wasn't really just not the right fit for me. So I left all that behind and now I'm working on what's sort of my passion in life, which is saving the ocean. It definitely does not pay as well as the word gig, but I love it. And honestly, I sleep like a baby every night now. Just going on one of the good days. Wow, that's amazing. I just got into the corporate world, but I already want out. Honestly, I think everyone should just follow their passion. And seriously, this is what you're doing right now. Hi, who are you? Did you know? Did you know that he had a wife? Did you know he told me he was going out for formula? No, I was. Okay, I was. I stopped in here for a Coke and they asked me if I would stand in because they needed more men. I suppose you consider yourself a man. We live in my parents' basement so that you can finish massage school. It's a nice basement. Oh my God, I'll see you at home. My parents' home. Sorry, everyone. We'll mix up. I'm focused on my career. I swear, there's millions of guys and I only meet the ones with really serious baggage or who just want to hang out like we're still in college. Careful, it's hot. Well, I still don't see why you don't give church a try. I have met some really nice guys on Alaskan cruises. There's always bingo. It's not that, but not really a bingo or cruise gal yet. Oh, because the speed dating is working out so well for you. I gotta get to sleep. Big Bear is having his biggest end of the year meeting tomorrow, so gotta look cheery. Good night. And I'm bringing my cocoa with me. And on time is late. That's funny. My dad did the exact same thing. Is your dad in business too? No, he died about a year and a half ago though. I'm sorry to hear that. Oh, it's fine. Hard to attack. What are you gonna do? You know, I think I've seen you around the office before. How long have you been working there? Not too long. It's a couple months. I'm surprised we haven't run into each other. I'm specifically this meeting. I feel like I live here at this point. I think that this might be my first meeting. This type of year, so... Okay.  Fortunately, I think that's the case, yeah. Well, it's nothing to be ashamed of. Oh, I mean, apparently you've worked hard to get here. I'd like to think I did.  And considering you are the only woman here, I think that's true. Thank you. No problem. I should probably get going before the boss chews my ear out. We don't want that. No. I'm Todd, by the way. Well, Noel? I guess I'll be seeing you around. Or at least in the next couple of hours. That's true. Yeah, what? Sorry, sir. Sorry, Mr. Donuts. How's the junior for me today? Take a card, any card. I wish my first two wives were Russian. They still spend all your money, but at least no conversation. So it's been a pretty good year, I'd say. Some of you more than others. Todd, will you ask the junior to scram while we talk adult business? And I've got some good news and bad news for all of you. The casino deal is on track to be our biggest yet. That's the good news. Todd, get up there. Well, all o'clock. Unveiling Santa's sleigh and reindeer casino and resort. The artist's rendering came in today. This is guaranteed to be hot all year long. You like it? Because the bad news is, there's one holdout on the land. Same guy and his grandson, the tree farm. Todd? For the last several months, these two have refused many generous offers that our company has made. Apparently, they think that selling spruce and frasier trees is more noble than gaining high-six figures. So what we need now is a mole that are yet a spy. To go in there and convince these people to sell to someone they think will preserve their precious trees. So we've sent up a fake charity. It's called the Green Place. Thank you, Todd. You're welcome, Barry. But we need the perfect face they'll trust. And if you don't know what failure looks like, remember Aneel, who I sent out there this summer with an all-cash offer. Hi, Aneel. Now you don't want to end up like Aneel, right? You! Me? Yes, you. We need somebody who looks like their tree hugger for this closing. But, sir, I just do end up in your accounting. Well, if you want to be doing the same thing next year and not end up helping Aneel with the cash receipts in a different way, then you'll think about getting on this and cashing that sizeable commission and bonus that goes with it. Oh. Todd, why didn't you tell me that I have golf in 25 minutes? Well, I thought this meeting was more important.  All right, the rest of you Philistines can leave here. You, Todd, stick around with them. It's Noel. Yeah, with her. And give her the rundown. And that she'll be staying with Christine. Well, that ought to be your treat. I'm really sorry about how today played out. I don't know what his problem is. This plan makes no sense. And I'm pretty sure it goes against a couple of different laws. Well, unfortunately Barry doesn't really do the law thing. He never has. He's, well, unless he's going to hire a couple of lawyers, which he does to clean up his messes so they can take care of it during the aftermath. He's got a system in place.  Do you really think if I say no or lose my job? Yeah. And if you complain, it's only going to make things worse. You want my advice and well, just enjoy your time out there. I hear the city is particularly beautiful this summer year. Just do the job, collect the bonus, and pay off your condo or buy a new one. Just do yourself a favor and don't double cross Barry. Fine. You know, there actually was one other thing I wanted to talk to you about. Yeah. Obviously I've noticed you're in the office. Obviously you're working yourself to a bone here pretty much. Why don't you let me do the gentlemen thing? Let me take you downtown for a couple of drinks, and then wherever you call home, I'll bring you back there. It's not as if you haven't deserved it. The best thing is I've got the boss's ear to my chest pretty much the entire time. And if you let me do this one thing, let me take you out. I can guarantee that your career goes places you haven't even thought of yet. Look, you seem like a nice guy Todd, but I don't think you're quite my type. And what type is that exactly? I'll let you know when I figure it out. I can't believe these guys. Hey, it would have been even worse in my day. That Barry would have been even ruder. And that other guy, you just need to judo kick him down the hall and out the front door. Is that why you signed me up for karate at age six? I'm done right. Hey, you're gonna be back in time for the Eddie Valley Concert on the 23rd, right? They're planning on having a town council meeting that day to finalize the deal if we can get the tree farmers on board. So I might have to wait until next year. Well, you'll have a good time. I used to take you there when you were little. Yeah, I do. Do you remember that time that you got chased by the ducks?  Oh, please, don't remind me. Well, if I can find my driving glasses, I will take you to the airport in the morning. That's all right. I'll grab a new berth. I wish it were snow.  I don't really know him that well. You seem like a nice girl. So was I when I went to work for Barry. But watch out for him though.  A kneel. You know, we started off together at Diamond. We were really good friends until...  I'm really, really sorry, but I do have to make a few calls before I move out. Of course. I understand. I will show you to your room and get you settled and we'll catch up later. No, not yet. I'm afraid of ducks. No, not yet. He's cutting down... I'm not going to talk to him while he's cutting down a tree. Hold on, he's almost done. Excuse me. Hi. I can help you. I'm here to discuss buying your property. Is there a place where we can talk?  What's your name? Noelle. I'm Jack. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Yeah, I mean, Graham's office in the back is pretty quiet. If you really want to talk. Yes, please. Follow me. Hello. Hey! How's it going? Graham? Good to see you. Good to see you. And who's that? I'm Noelle. Chris, nice to meet you. Noelle is a real estate agent. She's with Green Place? Green Place. And what's Green Place? We're mostly local to New England. We're trying to keep a nature reserve kind of feel to mostly work we're doing in the area. And we're interested in your farm. It's a lovely place. Thank you. Yeah. Well, funny story, Noelle. Gramp used to be a professional wrestler, the lumberjack. It's a long time ago, back before I grew my hair and kind of started wearing farm clothes. But it was fun for a while, but it's a tough profession and you're constantly on the move. And you can't always trust, you know, the people that you work with. My promoter kind of drove me out of it. But it was all for the good because I bought this place and then selling Christmas trees and loving it ever since. So tell me more. Well, like I said, we do want to keep the place the way it is as much as possible. We're interested in, like I said, nature reserves, you know, local animal life and mostly making money off of tourists that already come to the area. At least you want to keep the farm the same. That's for sure. Well, Noelle, how about you give us just like one second and I'll come back and talk to you. Most everybody else we've talked to wants to tear the place down and put buildings up. So that's promising. Yeah, she sounds like she wants to keep it the same, but I don't know. You can't trust all these real estate people, Gramp. But I'd be interested in hearing more and we can do a little check and around. And but ultimately the decision is yours.   I know I've been doing this for almost 40 years now. And I know that you do it more of an obligation than you wanting to take over the farm. I do love the farm, Gramp. But it could be a way to, you know, do something. Do something different. I just want someone to take care of the place and take care of us. I agree. Well, why don't you show around? Show around. Town, the farm, like everything. Show around, talk to her some more, get some more information and we'll talk more. And then we can make an informed decision. All right. Okay. I love you, Gramp. I love you too. Take care. All right, Noel. You've done it. You've piqued my interest. I like that you want to keep this place the same. So, I'm going to show you around. I'll show you around the town too, because if they're going to really buy this place off of Gramp and I, I want someone who's going to invest. And I'm not just talking financially. I'm talking with the heart into this town, into this place. Deal? Deal. All right. Let's go. How's she doing? She's made contacts, sir. Did we pick the right pony? Well, she's gone farther than most. We just need to give her a chance. Oh, in the meantime, it's time to call in some favors. Damn it. Right there, it could be this and this and this and a pony. Hello, Mr. Mayor. I think you know who this is. Oh. Hi, Mr. Diamond. Yeah. Tell me, what can we do for each other? So, tell me about yourself. What do you like? I like a thing. Do you know anything specific? Well, what do you like for music? Oh, Eddie Valley, of course. Eddie Valley? He's a nice guy. Oh, my God. Hey, Holly. Good to see you. Yeah, it's good to see you. It's your friend. This is Noel. Noel, nice to meet you. This is Holly. He must be a city girl. She's a real estate agent. I'm just showing her around the town. I didn't know you were into liberal ladies. So you're showing her downy? Isn't it beautiful? Good. Well, we too enjoy the day. Have you been? Good? See you around. Call me. That's my axe. No, she's not at all. Yeah, it's really cold by the water. I'm sure you can imagine. I don't know why he asked me to meet him here. But yeah, he said if he's going to think about selling his property to me, he wants me to invest in the heart of the town. So, yeah, he's a nice guy. And are you being honest with him about all of this? No, no, I don't like it, but I can't afford to lose this job, especially if I'm going to pay for your classes next semester. My glasses are not that important in this. I can do this. Hey, Aunt Beth, remember we were talking about that kid who saved me from the ducks when I was little? Of course I remember. Yeah, do you remember his name? It was a long time ago. There's no hurry about it, just whenever you think of it. Yeah. Yeah, I think I see him. All right, I'll call you later. Love you. It's Travaganza. And to close up the night, we have a very special guest for you. I think you're going to be very excited when you see this man come out on stage. Come on down, all the way from New York City, ladies and gentlemen.

Todd, you can help me with this Look Yeah, unfortunately we can't He doesn't work like that You know that, the fact of the matter is We've got copies of the paperwork So it doesn't matter what matters if we need the signature on paper You can't do this and we both know Barry doesn't care about the loss So whether you want to do it or not, he's gonna find a way to do it Well, can you do anything at the town meeting without my signatures? No, no, I really, really can't Whether you want this deal to happen or not I need those signatures And the fact of the matter is Noel, they might be good people But they don't want anything for themselves They don't want a better future We've tried, I've told you We have tried time and time again to help them Financially, whether they would have to get off the farm or not, it's not important What's important is giving them the money Building this casino would be good for the entire economy of this place But nobody wants that Nobody wants a better future for their schools for their kids, for home Nothing The fact is, I know you're smarter than that I will do what I need to do to make sure that this goes through Like I said, he might be a good guy But he's not smart And he doesn't know what's good for you And he doesn't know what is good for himself or a future And I don't know for a fact, you want a future And you What doesn't matter if I want a future with you or with him What matters is I know you are not getting the papers from me and you are not doing anything at that town city hall meeting And a lot can happen between now and whenever you plan on doing something with those copies I gave you I think you better go You're right, a lot can happen But what needs to happen you need to buck up about what you actually want I like how this place is decorated It's pretty What's going on?

Yes Noel Why did you lie to me? I was just trying to keep my job But they're ruthless and I see now how much this wouldn't impact you guys and that's not who I am What? A liar? You lied to me about this Do you even take care of Iran? Do you even like environmental law? Do you lie about everything? No, I only lied about the job I understand you're upset I'm upset Noel because people like Big Barry come into this town and take the one thing that people have left which is their dreams I'm ready in the process Are you folks ready to order?

I don't think so I'm sorry I can't leave if you need the world No, it's okay, what's going on? I came here with a company called Diamond Properties and we've been trying to get Jack to sign over his grandfather's land on the Christmas tree farm for a little while It is, he hasn't been signing but I hear that Noel actually got him to sign with the person Really?

How many of us want the wall? A majority A wall to keep Canadians out That's all I have Down to the important issue here at hand What we want to talk about is I guess that concludes the public forum Todd from Green Place Yes Ladies and gentlemen Me and the good people at Green Place our goal is simple to provide a future where the economy is booming much like it was in the 1920s a future devoid of kids having to worry about where they go to school where homelessness is decreased where everybody can really live the lives that they want to and although some regretful decisions in terms of property damage will have to be made it is a necessary evil that we're willing to take upon ourselves to provide a better future for everybody else So this is the future we're talking about better schools better economy less homelessness a better future for all and not just for this city not just for this state but eventually we're hoping to reach the entire country that's what we're hoping for with Green Place a better future for all Couldn't be said better I think what we should do is put this to a vote right away the official name is Santa's Playhouse it's going to be on site 34 Cottage Road and this thing is good for the family it's good for the environment as Todd said we're going to bring money into the environment if you want to build your wall you can build your wall with the money that we get so let's vote on this thing alright wait come on are you okay do you need some more air over here hold on front for diamond property damage you're lying to me hold on Tim I want to hear what she has to say hold on one second I'll take care of it ladies and gentlemen I think I can explain this woman has been nothing but a cause of emotional and physical distress to all of us who work at diamond properties ever since she started working there I can only suspect that she's here to boost her own egotistical and attention-seeking ego you want this meeting to proceed as smoothly as it has already remove her and her gentlemen friend from the premises as soon as possible I have been in contact with a reporter who's at Diamond Property's latest resort in the Cayman Islands and it's been terrible for locals you need to at least table this project until you've seen the real plans oh come on I don't think we can table this right now no we're not look the reason I know all this is because I was sent here to fool you guys so Jack and Grandpa Chris would sell their farm berry and diamond properties and Todd aren't interested in sustaining the land what proof do you actually have Noah here's Phil he'll tell you guys what this company does to local areas hello can you guys hear me? yeah I hear you thank you very much for your time my name is Phil D'Angelo I'm a reporter for the Toledo Sun Journal investigating Big Berry's venture here in the Cayman Islands and it's called the Island Pearl as you can see it was an unmitigated disaster not only did they not keep to their promises to not build on pristine rainforest areas they also had pollutants in their building in which case it infected the local tap water and has had to have been torn down at the taxpayers expense Big Berry and his group have since abandoned it and now it is a big mess for the people of Cayman Islands my advice to you guys would be do not have anything to do with this group they are not a friend to the environment thank you give me that alright look I think in light of this new information we really do need to we need to table this Todd do your job fix us you idiot you big berry diamond who are you?

There seems to be some differences between yogurt. In the presentation of Dr. Jordi Salis in this symposium, there was some emphasis on the relevant to reduce fat. In my field of expertise, high fat intake is making more complex appetite control and may result in increased energy intake. If a yogurt is supplemented with the good bacteria influencing energy balance, it might be another fruitful action to increase the outcome, the benefits of a yogurt. Furthermore, I like telling that yogurt is a flexible food, has a flexible matrix in the sense that it gives the possibility to proceed to some formulations, reformulations. And recently we did something consisting of changing the ratio of dairy proteins within yogurt with a significant impact on energy intake. So yes, there seems to be differences between yogurt and depending on the composition, depending on the bacteria strains, etc., we might find there are some explanations of the difference. And of course beyond that, there is the issue of the sweetening of yogurt that is coming to when we talk about that. When we talk about the protection of yogurt, we talk about all the types of yogurt, Stratococcus vulgaricus or Stratococcus thermophilus, and these beneficial effects on reducing the risk of diabetes, it has been observed not only in all total yogurt but also in low fat yogurt or yogurt with fat, because it has been demonstrated that not all types of saturated fatty acids, yogurt are very rich in saturated fatty acids when it is full of fat, but not all types of saturated fatty acids have the same effects on insulin resistance and probably the saturated fatty acids that contain yogurt have beneficial effects on insulin resistance. So this could explain why in observational studies we have demonstrated an inverse association between the frequency of yogurt consumption and diabetes.
