Hi Ian, Dave Vellante, pleasure to meet you. This is Ian Kimball, Ian is the VP of Business Process Validation, is that right? Yeah, sort of thinking of an evangelist inside SAP, so I'm there to talk to people about stuff. Ah, okay, so you're helping transform SAP? I'm helping transform, I'm trying to get the message out about some of the new stuff we're doing, how it can benefit our customers and how things will look in the future. So we, you know, usually we use the term eat your own dog food, but lately we've been saying because SAP powers 70% of the beer manufacturing in the world, we're now saying drink your own beer. Okay, I like that, far better. Thank you very much for that, that's an easy one. Okay, so tell us what you're going to be showing us. Okay, well what I want to do today is talk a little bit about the SAP mobile strategy. We've seen in the keynotes this morning a lot of information about the different areas that SAP are going in, things like the in-memory technology where literally billions of records can be analyzed in the fraction of a second, and also another area is mobility where we're seeing a huge amount of work being done and new applications coming up, and as we said we're going to have 40 to 50 new applications available by the end of the year, and on the top of that the people centric applications. The two things I wanted to show today, I can show you all three if you're interested, the ones I was going to concentrate on now are the in-memory and the mobile applications and show you some of the depth that we're doing in that. Okay, that's great, so the in-memory apps, and the primary value prop there we've heard over and over is just speed, real time, you know, near real time. I would always say be careful of talking about speed, yes speed is a very important element inside in-memory, but the whole point about in-memory is it allows you to do things that you've never been able to do before. For example, if you're trying to analyze three billion records, when you look at that, typically you'd have to aggregate that information, so you'd have to summarize by a product group or by a product family or summarize by perhaps a particular country. Just to narrow down the data sets that you're using. Exactly to narrow, because there's nothing up till now that's been able to analyze three billion records in one particular application at one particular time, but with HANA those limitations are gone, so now you can actually drill down to individual records and get that information you need on a far more accurate level, which is something we've never been able to do. So it's really, I mean speed, you're right, is almost too narrow a concept, or maybe it's too high level, right? We're talking about the elapsed time of getting to an answer and even the feasibility of getting to an answer, which wouldn't have been possible before. Certainly, I mean if you look at something like one very well-known area inside SAP is what's called COPA, Cost Analysis and Profitability, and if you look at that as an example, you know, up till now companies, if they want to work out the profitability of an individual product, they have to start aggregating. So let's say you've got all of your products and all of the sales and you want to say allocate marketing cost to that, up till now that type of technology in order to do that would have to be done with aggregations. Now with HANA you can do that in real time and actually drill down marketing cost to an individual customer. So you get the real cost of sales on an individual product for an individual customer, which is something that's not been possible to do before. I mean, I can show you an example here of actually a HANA system. So if we can get the system up and running here, can we see that? Okay, so this is a HANA system that we're actually using at the moment now. You can see at the top here, we're actually analysing at the moment a database of almost two million records. And these are the sales data from a particular pen company that we've designed.  But just the speed of being able to analyse the information and to get the information down to an individual record level. So here I can choose a sales organisation and bam, the graphic down here will change to show you then here, for example, then the information that I've asked for. And again, what it's done, it's pulled out a million records in 0.7 seconds. So yes, it's very, very fast. But now it gives me the opportunity to actually analyse and go in, for example, of a particular company. I can drill down into that company. And all of this then is absolute information in real time that that company and all of the sales invoices that are in the SAP system is made available to us. Yeah, we're not sampling here. We're operating in the entire data centre. We're looking at the entire data set, everything that's in there. So that's some of the power of HANA that you can actually see here. And it said a number of customers are already using it. And just the, as you said, I'll go back to the speed, but just the value that they're getting out of the information. The ability to actually analyse the sales of a particular region on a particular day and even go down to the individual sales document. So for example, I can then drill down even further and look here at a particular sales document. So I can even go down to that one level here and then it'll show me then, OK, this was the sales document in this particular area. And that's something that was never been able to do before. You would have to do it on a much higher level and aggregate. Loading data, scrubbing data, aggregating data and taking days, you know, hours at least, days, sometimes weeks, sometimes never. Some of our customers in some areas, they were running reports which were taking literally eight to 10 hours to do. And they've got that time down to like 10, 15 minutes using the HANA technology. So very impressive stuff. And obviously applications in here in the financial area, retailer looking at this incredible opportunity there. Imagine then a retail company looking at products such as fresh fruit and vegetable, for example. Something which has to come in there that has to be shipped out straight away to the stores. Having the real-time sales information from all of those stores, you know exactly where the fruit and vegetables have to go straight away. And that's just some of the applications we're looking at. So how are you guys using this internally? We're using it a number of different ways internally. We're looking at obviously the analysis of our sales to understand how and what we're selling, where it's going and down to the individual users to understand then what is being used more commonly, which are the processes that are being used so we can then help our customers improve and develop best practices with Inside SAP. Now you're showing this on a laptop. Is it because we got crappy wireless? No, the laptop is a wireless. What I was going to do is show some of the actual mobile devices on here. So I said we've talked about HANA now. Thank you very much. That was great. I like that one. So what we're going to do now is now we're going to have a look at some mobile applications. And probably before I start I just want to say there are three different areas that SAP is looking at in mobile. And that's one for employees. So we're obviously making it more efficient for employees to be able to actually use the system and interact with it. We're looking at ways to extend the business processes to make the business processes of our customers more efficient. And thirdly, we're helping our customers help their customers with mobile technology. So they're the three focus areas. So what I'm going to do is show you a few examples of that. So we'll start off with talking about then the employees. How's that? So what we can do for example here, we'll start off with a very simple example. Let's say I'm a manager and I need to do some shopping cart approvals. Now what I can see here for example is a simple workflow. The idea of here I have then the number of shopping carts, people are ordering stuff. I as a manager need to approve or reject that. What I can do is just drill down into any of these, see what Sharon has actually ordered. But the thing about mobile is you're not just automating business processes. You're bringing in additional information to help the user. So for example here I can see what the person's order. I can go down and see the detail of that. But for example I can integrate financial information into this. So for example here I can click here and see then the budget of this cost center. How much of that budget has actually been used. So I can now understand yes she's got a number of budget free and open for that. Yes I can go ahead then and simply then approve that purchase. Can I red laser it and see if I can get a better deal? You can red laser it and see if you can get a better deal. Oh it's Apple, forget it. You're going to get another better deal. So as I said that's a very small example for an employee. Obviously that's for a manager. We've got a number of applications that are available for employees as well. For example travel expenses. You know something that we all have to do. Here we can read in information from credit cards or if I want to. I can actually go in here and add a new receipt. And what I can do is if I had a receipt for example here using the technology I can then simply just take the photograph of the receipt. We'll pretend that's a receipt. Take a photograph of that and then submit that with my travel expense report. So all I need to do now is say what that actually was. Let's say it was a parking ticket. I can then just say here this is parking. I can then say the expense type was then parking. And then obviously then all I need to do is enter the amount. 45 bucks. We'll keep it as Canadian dollars. I can say that's done. Oops. Say that's done. And then all I need to do is go in here and then submit that. And hey I'm sure many people can relate to my old company. You had to have this big sheet of numbers. And you had to write down the number of the category that was in right. So it could bucketize it. Well that's something we've never done. Sort of in the dark ages. But that's what we were. So that's the example of that first type of the applications that are designed for the employees. The second way we're doing it is then extending the efficiency of an actual company. So for example let's say I was in the area of I don't know I'm a service technician. I'm going out there servicing different types of equipment. What I can do here for example is then I can have a look at an example here. And here we have a service technician who's going out. And he has all of the information here. This would typically be put onto a piece of paper and given to the guy in the truck. But now you can use the benefits of all of the technology inside here. Automatic route planning to say the optimal route. However if a customer phones up and says here this is the time scales at the top you can see here where the different customers have to be visited. But for example if I understand that one customer says you know I can't make it 11 o'clock all I need to do is to pick up and just move that appointment to a different time and hey presto it'll then recalculate the route. It'll then put all that information into the SAP backend system. All of that is available for somebody on the road. So that's an example about how we're making business. So that's real time optimizing the route. Optimizing the route. Saving energy. Also making the customer happier at the end of the day. So that's one example. And making your people more efficient. Exactly as I said. And that's another area. Another area as well we're looking at completely new applications. For example in the area of medical. One of the areas if you go to a hospital typically IT is not available at the patient's bedside. But with some of this new technology why shouldn't it be made available? If I go here into SAP electronic medical records in fact if I just turn it around here it looks a lot nicer. What I can do now is say I'm an actual doctor in a particular area I can then log in as that doctor. All of the security information is pulled in from the SAP backend system and here I have a list of all of my patients and what I can do then is then simply then drill down into this patient and all of the information is then bought from the SAP backend to the actual bedside. So the physician actually has all of that information. I can stroll here through blood pressure and through different information about blood values. I can look at the lab results of this patient. I can even have a look at some of the x-rays and findings that are all stored in the system. So that's then bringing the actual application to the end user. And that's something we're seeing more and more with this type of technology is really helping people. It's a different mindset now with these mobile applications. We have to help the people more in order to be able to do things. Now go back to your start-up screen here. Show me those apps. So this looks like an app store. This is just an example of the breadth of...  Is that how this is going to work? These are obviously typically companies that are going to provision these and there's a technology that we have called AFARIA which we're actually using here at Sapphire today. The idea is then that a company will be able to manage all of the mobile devices because what happens if a mobile device like this gets stolen or what happens if you need to update the apps on your employees mobile devices. And all of this is then provisioned through the technology that we call AFARIA. And AFARIA is very, very efficient. All of the devices you're seeing here at Sapphire have AFARIA on them. So if suddenly we find out that one of these apps is very, very popular we can then highlight it. If, let's say, an update were to come through we can then push that update through on all of these machines. If one of the machines gets stolen there's a central console at the back where they push a button and the next time that app goes anywhere all of the applications will be deleted on there. So the AFARIA technology that we're using is absolutely amazing. They've used it recently in the US Census where they had over 110,000 different devices that were managed through this technology. And you distribute this technology through that AFARIA platform or is it through the Apple App Store? No, the AFARIA platform is something that you actually install on the device and it's then centrally maintained by company typically. And again, it's from SAP. Okay, so you don't have to submit any of these applications to Apple for approval and go through that process? You can do some of them certainly are available on the iTunes Store but it's not compulsory. It's not compulsory. What we're doing now here we're provisioning these inside our organization through the AFARIA technology. Fantastic. It works very well. Love it. The last area then we were talking to is this one that we were looking at today in the keynote speech where we're helping our customers help their customers. And the example that we had in here was actually the Avon demo which is a very simple demo. It was shown this morning and the idea here is that everyone knows Avon very, very successful company. Fantastic huge number of sales people which are typically housewives at home who are then talking to their clients. They're filling out forms, paper-based forms but imagine the scenario where your client comes in and you could say, here you are. You're looking very pretty today. How would you like to try some of our new eye shadow? And all I can do is let's say you like the blue so watch the eyes. If I just click here on blue automatically it'll fill in then there. So once you've then had a look at that the client, the Avon representative can say, okay, well let's make a sale. They can then simply go in here. They can say, this is what you ordered last time. What would you like to order? You can then go in here and say, okay, you want to reorder this, you want to reorder that. You can then, okay, I would like to add that new blue eye shadow to you. Add that to the order and then confirm that order and then it's sent back to the SAP back end. So this is how we're helping our customers help their customers with applications like this. We have a special on body moisturizer today. You can throw that in. Exactly, specialized cross-selling, all of that. I'm imagining you could have, of course, I'm sure Avon likes the pretty model there, right? Because it looks better than the customer probably and that times out of 10 cases.  You could have a skinny booth. Here's you with that blue eye shadow. That would be a very cool. You could even do that. Extension of that application. The next version of this application, what we want to do is actually be able to take a photograph of the actual customer. Yeah, there you go. And then actually paste it on there. And then trim them down a bit. Yeah, so I think you need a bit of a Photoshop application. Yeah, that's right. I could do with some of that. It would be nice to have some hair. So basically, that's some of the three basic areas that we're looking at inside the mobile demo. Very nice, you know what, John, I have to say that I've never been a big fan of demos and trade shows, but I love demos on theCUBE, right? We've done a number of them. I was just talking to Mark about that last night that we needed a special camera dedicated just for the demos because one of the things we learned at EMC World last week was when you get through the executives, the athletes, and the audience gets their big money shots and all the big messaging, they want to see the sexy demos. The demos, what rock, right? So they don't want the canned course. They want real-time demos. So we need to do that, Dave. We've got to get the demos. It's the tech jewelry of our generation. Yeah, it really is. I mean, there's so much you can do with it. And obviously, using the SAP technology, it's very easy to put these applications onto different devices. So obviously, what we also want to do is to have the applications then on multiple devices. We have playbook, different demos on the playbook. We're using the iPhone, the iPad, all of the different devices out there, especially in RIM at the moment now. There's some very exciting developments going on in there in the retail space in other areas as well. I think you guys are going to be the consumer brand of IT.


Welcome back to my YouTube channel, guys. Today is a day of reflection. So if you missed my video last week, I'll link it above. I talked about how I've changed since moving to New Zealand, but I've been in the reflective mode. And since the end of the year, I've been kind of reflecting on growth and changes, things I've learned over the year. So we're going to talk about some reflections today and a little highlight on my plan for 2023. So here we go. So you guys may not know that one of the things that I did this year is I left my full-time job. I have been a communications business marketing professor for 20 years and I love it and I love my students. But I have decided to leave that and kind of jump into this whole YouTube world and this world of creating my own brand and some other small businesses. And I'm really enjoying it, you guys. I'm really finding my footing and I have really big plans for 2023, which I'll highlight in a minute. But if you don't know, so I have my kiwiamericans.com. You can go check it out. And if you are moving to New Zealand or want to know what it's like living in New Zealand or you're curious about things, go check that out. I have lots of services on there and it's kind of, it's a little bit all over the place. Like I have lots of services for people that are moving here. You can meet, set up a consultation. My biggest product, most successful product is my training hub, where is if you are moving here thinking about moving here, you can pay like a monthly fee and you get access to everything you need to know about moving and living and thriving in New Zealand. You also have access to a community of people in the same position. And then also live Q&As with me. And it's really great. I love my training hub. They are my people. And so check that out if that's helpful to you. I also have other resources like helping you find work here, helping you with CVs and that sort of thing. Then I also have a digital marketing company called Grow Remarkable that I have with a partner of mine in Queenstown. And we coach, we train, we help small businesses, new businesses get set up and be successful online. And that looks different depending on the person that we're talking about. We're also creating a community that's going to be amazing next year. I'm very excited about that, about women entrepreneurs and kind of providing all the resources in one place at a really low price. And so if you're interested in that, let me know. I can send you more information on that. And then in addition to that guys, everything is really slow in the publishing world. But me and my research partner are about to be published and I will share it with you when it's come out. And we've done lots of research about how to be better communicators when you're teaching online. And we have been successful in figuring out some really key points. So we have a free course. If you want to check that out, I'll put that in the description on helping you be better communicators online. My research partner has had a lot of success and has unbelievable perfect completion rates and courses if we just change the way that we work and live online. So you can go ahead and check that out. And I have lots of ideas for next year. So many things that I will be sharing as it kind of comes up. And so it's been good. I've been finding my footing. So that's kind of like my first big change for 2022. The second reflection that I have had and I've been really thinking about this over the last couple of weeks is that I feel that my and I shouldn't say I feel. I should say when I put out information on social media or just talking with friends about my cultural understanding of New Zealand, people are giving me feedback. Yes, she gets it. She understands it. She's nailed it. And I'm feeling like I might understand my cultural understanding of New Zealand is deeper, is clearer. And it's all because of you guys. I have nobody to thank but you guys. I mean, I guess I put out information. But what I've been doing essentially is saying these are the differences between us and New Zealand. And it's just based on what my understanding of something and I put it out there. And you guys have come back and say, and as nice as you possibly can, you guys are always really nice. It's no problem at all. But you're just like, actually, that's not true in the South Islander. Actually, you have that little bit wrong. And so it's those kind of minute details that you have communicated with me that have given me a clear picture because you don't know what you don't know. And so I didn't realize that I was wrong about something or like when you take in new information, when you're taking in a new culture, you're putting that culture within your own understanding and your own perspective. And that's not always accurate, right? As we've seen in many situations, right? We've been in any sort of relationship, even the Treaty of Waitangi, like that's the problem. The communication wasn't clear. One thinks one word means one thing. And it actually doesn't. And so and that's the thing. And so like me putting out for two years on TikTok, on YouTube, on Instagram, on Facebook, these are the differences. You guys are coming back and saying, Oh, actually, you know, this and this and this. And I've learned about the details and I'm understanding the culture. And on the onset when people come to New Zealand, they think, Oh, you know, I understand this place. This is, you know, it's not that different than where I'm from. It is. There's a lot of differences. There's a lot of things that you're not understanding because you're taking it within your own context. And so this is why my training hub is really great. And that's really the goal with it is it's a real in depth view. It gives you perspective on how to handle like work situations, things that your kids school, cultural things that you're not understanding the what they was really meant by something, why this is important, because they're valuing things differently. And so all of that is in there if that's helpful to you. But like, yeah, so that was kind of my point with growing that was that, yes, you can come in and you can function in New Zealand, but this training hub helps you thrive in New Zealand. Number three, the pandemic has taken its toll. And I think that this is not discussed on social media. And I'm very surprised about it because I've been reflecting on this for a couple months now. And really, as I'm feeling the effects on myself, like, if I were to tell you my pandemic experience, it wouldn't be bad. I had a great time with the family. Nobody annoyed me too bad. I actually think I'll keep them around. You know, I was a little worried about that. It was a lot of time together. We had relaxation. It's changed the world in terms of the way that we work and the ability to work from home and the flexibility and jobs. Now, obviously, not all companies are like that, but I think it will come around. And it just has changed the world forever. But I don't think that we really realize how much it has affected us. Like, I noticed I was relatively in shape before the pandemic. And it has taken me a really long time to get back up to that level because it's just, I think it was a lot of sitting around. I think it was a lot of extra eating. I don't know. We're like locked in our room. And I think that the effects on people socially have, I think that the like social skills and people and like, I think that a lot of people are finding out that they don't like to socialize as much. It has changed everything. It has kind of changed the rules in so many areas. And I just been really reflecting on that. I would love to know your guys' thoughts on that. I don't want to talk about it too much. But I just think that the summary sentence is the pandemic has taken its toll. And like, I think we're finally seeing after obviously there's mental issues. There's, you know, struggles that we all have and that people had even within it. But I think that even if the pandemic wasn't too bad for you, I think that it took its toll and that we're just seeing that now. And I think that that's interesting. So I'd love to open discussion about that because I certainly don't know everything. I hadn't had everybody's experience and pandemic was a lot worse in different areas of the world compared to New Zealand. So I would love to know your thoughts on that because I really think it took its toll. Number four, costs are rising.  It feels a little like that a lot. Okay, we all feel that. But I just, the economy is changing. And so I guess my reflection and my thoughts on that is to be smart and to be wise. Don't be afraid of it. Don't be mad at it. Don't get frustrated by it. Like, I know so many people have like lost all this money, stock market or they lost it and NFTs or you know, all this kind of stuff. Like, yes, I think it's okay, I guess, to be frustrated. But like, things adjust. Like to think that the world is moving and it's going to go in the same trajectory forever is ridiculous. If there's anything that we've learned from COVID-19 is that things can just blow things up, right? And so we just need to be smart and we need to be reflective about what is the best way to move ahead, whether it's financially or our careers. It really kind of has thrown us into this whole world of like, oh my gosh, like, I don't know what I think about this. The world is changing, adjusting. I'm different. I just went through a pandemic. Like, what am I supposed to be doing? And there's a lot out there. So my advice is to just be smart. This isn't a time to be scared. This isn't a time to say, I'm not going to start a business right now because I'm not sure of the economy. No, generally that's a good time. Generally when things are going down, nobody else is buying, there's opportunities that are prevalent. So don't, you don't need to be scared, but you need to be wise and smart in what makes sense. Like people are panicking or they're like buying a house because they're afraid of interest rates, but you're still buying the house for way too much compared to what it might be next year. Like there's a lot to think about. And you don't need to like it totally stressed about it. Just realize that we've had a long time, decades of, of just growth and stability. And sometimes it needs to correct itself and that's okay. And so it's just time to be smart. Number five, education is forever. I think if there's something that we can take away from the last year is that education is not university, is not for those four years after high school, it's forever. And with google.com and with everything out there, like all the LinkedIn learning and skill share and all of the platforms that just have, you can constantly gain new skills, try new things, do a whole another career. You could have three or four careers in your lifetime and that would be normal. And so a couple of things that you can take away from that is that you don't need to be stressed. If you're like young and 20 and 25, you don't need to be stressed. Like picking your major or picking what you want to do isn't forever. It's just for a couple of years, see what you like and then you kind of move on to a different thing and you gain a new skill. It's forever. Like I don't know if you saw, I should have pulled it up. There's like a headline of like a 90 year old has graduated from the university. Of course, of course, when I teach, when I've taught over the last 20 years at the university, my oldest student was 78 years old. He hadn't graduated yet but I'm sure he was going to do fine. And like why not? There isn't rules around it. There isn't, education is changing, should be changing quicker if you ask me, but like it's changing. You guys, like you can go back to school whenever you can take a whole different career and you can. You can say I'm 45 and I'm done doing this and I'm going to go and do this like I did. And I've never in a million years if you would have asked me when I was 23 that I would be on YouTube that I would like video creation. I wouldn't have even told you that at 40. I've been like, like no interest in that. And here I am. You know, so you change as a person, which is a good thing. And so will your interest and your skills and your desires will all change with it. Number six, I have to throw this in because I feel like I have this conversation all the time is the time is now. I hear so many times and a lot from younger people that, well, I'll do this at this point in my life or I'm not quite ready for this. If there's one thing that you learn when you're older and wiser is that there is a no perfect time for anything. The time is now. If you want to try something, do it now. Don't do it tomorrow. Don't do it in a year from now. Try it now. If it's the business, if it's, you know, I want to try a new sport, a new hobby, I want to learn to cook, do it. Like there's no stopping you. There's unlimited resources. We live in a time where we have resources at our fingertips at any point for free and you can learn it. I mean, it's amazing. It's amazing time to be alive. It's amazing time to be an entrepreneur. It's an amazing time to just be able to change and to grow and to say this year I'm going to travel and then next year I'm going to get my PhD and do it and then get into it and hate it and change your mind. And that's okay too. I'm just saying stop putting it off. There's no putting it off. Like don't even get me started on the whole concept of retirement. The whole concept of retirement is, I don't know who came up with this, but it wasn't people that are supporting you. Okay. The whole concept is retirement is like, I'm going to put off for like all of the best years of my life, what I actually want to do when I'm 65 and have time to do, you might not even be alive. That doesn't make any sense. So do it now. Do it now. And if you're older, if you don't, I don't want to hear, I'm 50. I've passed my time. That's not true. We are all living really long. 80, 90 years old is not uncommon. You have time. Do it. Try it. Put the investment into it. Don't expect things to work immediately. There's no miracles out there. I work in marketing and I swear to you, business is a thing. I do one thing for them. I create a couple of videos for them and miracles will happen. That's not how it works. Okay. So everything takes patience. Everything takes learning. You know, these are just like the basics of like, but you'll enjoy it and enjoy the journey. Enjoy the journey.  Don't put off your life for when you may not have it and you may not have your health. Number seven, change is now. Change is here. I don't know if you're living in a bubble, but there's a lot of changes happening. And what this means is it's an opportunity for you. Don't be scared of the change. Change is constant and things will always change. Just worrying about things staying the same. Don't worry about it because it's not gonna change. It's gonna happen and you need to be ready for it. It's where you're in the middle of it and who are you gonna be? You need to look at change as opportunity. This is your opportunity to do something different. This is your opportunity to be somebody different. This is an opportunity to have some say into something to say, hey, I think that this is a good idea. So be a part of the change and like be positive about it. When there's so much negativity on social media, why don't you be that positive person? Why don't you change the narrative about social media and start saying, hey, you know what, these channels are free. Maybe these channels are just a reflection of who we are inside. Why don't we start putting out positive things, encouraging things on social media and just change the way that we're talking about things. Like it's that simple. It's unfortunate that I made a video recently that went viral and it was me talking about what I don't like about New Zealand. Mind you, I've talked about what I like about New Zealand for two years and I thought that I should do a video and it's not even mean really to show that, you know, because there's no perfect place. I got to have a little bit of credibility, right? And that one, it does so well and it's like, and that's fine, but it's, I just, I'm open to the conversation about it. Why is this one doing well? It's because you guys engage with stuff like that.  Start putting out content that is positive and hopeful and talk about what you love and talk about your passion. People love that as well. It's just not a lot out there. So that's my encouragement to you guys. Change is here. Be a part of making it better, making it, making the world better, the internet better, you know, just do things better. And last and certainly not least, it's time for us to be grateful.  I'm not talking about that. If you're into that, that's fine. But I, this whole concept of like, I have a morning routine and I do the same thing and, and I have that, you know what? None of these people have kids. None of these people, none of these people have kids. None of these people that are like, let's scale my business to this and that and, you know, they don't have kids. You know, it's, I just want to say that. Okay. My point is though, be grateful. Be grateful. I'm grateful that we're not in COVID anymore. I'm grateful that I can travel, that I can visit family, that I, the world has opened up, that people can come here. Like I'm so grateful for that. Yes, it's expensive, but you know, it is a business and so I understand that as well. And just, just being grateful for the fact that I'm living here and that it's beautiful out, that it's summer and, you know, it's a good place to be mentally, emotionally, spiritually for you to be grateful and that's great, whatever that looks like. But what I'm saying is I'm not talking about all of these ways that people talk about gratitude. There's no rules around it. There's no ways to be more grateful. Like if you do this process or that, I'm literally just talking about saying, Hey, I'm thankful for where I'm at. I'm content where I'm at. And I'm grateful for all of you guys. I'm grateful for this community. I am grateful for your guys' honesty and telling me and for sharing your real thoughts. And I just love it. People will share like really long comments and share their story and their, their situation and what they've learned from it. Love it. Like truly love it. So thank you for that. And so thank you to everybody. I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas holidays and a wonderful break. And I will see you guys in the new year.


Hey, what's going on guys? My name is Mark and if you're familiar with the channel at all You know that we'd like to kind of day trade swing trade And generally kind of have a play around in the markets and today Kind of based on the title. I thought it'd be helpful to I'm sure of you guys how I find stocks that I'm kind of interested in trading Over the next week and also over kind of the coming weeks that potentially might have Potential in the future. Um, so yeah, so I thought I would just share that before We kind of move on this is just from today Just want to address this because I know that there's there's some people that drink in the hate raid I closed all the profitable swing trades for today. All right, so if we just take a look at my history You can see all right last seven days seven hundred dollars, but like see me close the oil Estee Lorda got rid of gold blah blah blah. Anyway, that's not what the city goes about so Let's go ahead. So the website that I use is Let me reset reset is a called Stockmonitor.com Stockmonitor.com forward slash filter. So I'll put a link in the description and obviously it's not a kind of a Magic recipe to be successful But it just helps to kind of filter out the mess and be a little bit more efficient when you're looking for stocks, right? So typically I like to just kind of look for the S&P 500, especially when I'm using eToro because sometimes they don't have everything from The other options right, but you can you can look at the FT100 All that sort of stuff is the P 500 but yeah, so so we'll stick with the S&P 500 You can see that there's a couple of filters that you can use all together. So right so you got your oscillators the RSI And this sort of thing right so I typically use the Moving average and the oscillators right so just to kind of keep it more general I will look for an RSI between 30 and 50 right and the reason I do that is because if it's between 0 and 30, let's say Generally It's it's on a pretty strong downtrend That's not something that I'm gonna be interested in and then it would just give you the stocks that match the criteria that you've Look for an obviously if you're looking for something like you can use it in conjunction with Whole bunch of and they've got some preset patterns, but I don't use this So I know what I'm kind of looking for but there's preset things if you want to look into that it can be quite helpful But yeah, yeah, so I do this and then all I do is I go on to eToro From here and then I just whack in the ticker symbol You can see we've got Colgate, which I up. There's my video that I mentioned in this video I'm not sure about this one. I did mention it in the video, but I Don't know it's quite a strong downtrend SMA sending over blah blah blah all that kind of stuff So if we just look between 30 and 50, right? Let's have a look And I've actually been through these already So I've seen these but I'll go through them with you guys quickly I just so you can see how this is really helpful and it's important not to just see it here and think oh, this is a Good one. I'll trade this this week, right? It's important to look at the patterns as well So for example, right so you go in and if you don't see where I'm seeing the symbol, right? You can see it says AA here, and that's like the ticker symbol, which means like the code for the company basically Right you can see I've already drawn the support resistance. You can see that it's quite horizontal pattern, right? And it's been here before it's above the SMA, which is good So being above the SMA and it's oversold is a good sign, right? So we just But is it gonna be a good deal when it crosses above the EMA if it's trading between 50 and 54? Probably not but I've decided to my second watch list just to keep an eye on it, right because Potentially it could be a good deal. AAL Right, so again, just so you know, right? So it says AAL here and then we're gonna take a look at AAL Again, not particularly interested in this one just because of the pattern, right? Because it's just such a strong downtrend that it's been on since mid-March Right, so something's been trending down for about two months. It's not it's not We're gonna go and you can see there's quite a short turn on the SMA Let's have a look ABC. I think this one was quite good If I remember correctly Yeah, right So this is probably the most promising one for the week and you can see that it's already actively broken above the EMA pulled back and Validated this EMA So this looks good and I probably wouldn't have found this without this tool here So I'll probably set an order on This one should I set an order or shall I wait? Another thing that I can do is check the after hours So you can see my history. Watch out guys So you can see the after hours. It looks like it kind of held pushed up a little bit and then held Okay, cool. So I'm not gonna set the order. I'll watch the the market open and then go from there Um Take a look Maricord. Yeah, that looks good. So you can see it's kind of bottomed out about this price here where it's previously hit Like 53 5340 and it's got a bit of an uptrend broken above the SMA. This is actually really good. I've good I've got this one. Watch this. Maybe I had this This looks really good. So this as you can see it's an ascending uptrend pattern, right? So let's just draw this in From here Right, and you can see pushing up higher highs higher lows each time So this looks really good actually for a break above the EMA. So where is the EMA 57, right? So maybe if I 57 5720 let me just I'm just gonna set an alert on this really quick guys Stop with that a 5730 already had one obviously a little bit lower. Sorry about that. Okay Um, so that's AE And AE P Yeah, again pretty nice horizontal pattern Kind of trend in on upwards above the SMA. It's really nice Yeah, looks good. So this is another good one 6770 we'll set a lot on that as well. Sorry about this guys. I think that's already in my watch list Yes, right cool Cool, we'll just leave that right, so yeah, so that's how I find the stocks that I'm trading and That's how I set my notes. So you got to see that live as well Well, you can see all my watch list I've got stocks for the week and the value growth starts blah, blah, blah Um, but yeah, so this is it stop monitor.com. I'll put a link in the description and There's a whole bunch of things you can do and obviously hold There's a few industries that you can look at as well or indices even that you can look at Feel free to mess around with it and see if it can help you find stocks that you see value in and that you're particularly interested in And yeah, I hope that this was helpful if it was then there's lots of videos like this I should try and do daily updates on on my trading as well For one actually do take positions Along with there's a breakdown with things about technical indicators, right? So if you don't know any of this is EMA SMA All this kind of stuff here if you're not familiar with any of this mac d rsi There'll be a link in the description as well for a playlist that will have videos describing all that But as I say, yeah, if you enjoyed the video make sure you subscribe check out the other channels Check out the other videos. Sorry Follow me on eToro so you can track my performance as well Um, I am kind of interested in maybe looking at the popular investor Uh program not really keen on like the risk. I understand why it's there. Uh, but for me it's boring So just oh 2% of my portfolio times one leverage is just not doesn't engage me as much as I would like But no, that's a whole whole different thing. Um, but yeah, thanks for watching guys and I will catch you Probably tomorrow


Who are you looking forward to going up against? Bane. And it's great because I got our coach, Coach Nate. He was in Portland. Him and Coach Osborne. And so, you know, they were going back and forth with him.  You know, so they got it connected to where, you know, I went out to Portland for about two days, about two weeks ago, and we worked out. So the first day. That's awesome. It was crazy. That's awesome. How hard was it to keep it cool? How hard? Good luck. It was really hard.  Every NBA player's, like, game is like, every NBA player's favorite player.  And you don't say none. If you disrespect them, he'll eat you alive. Like the one person that might- Make you a lyric.   I'll be 100% on him. Dame is, their Treblators could have done better, but Steph has always had a better team. And I'm not saying Steph's not a better player, but like, you don't watch those series and not be like, Dame's a bad motherfucker, man. Did you keep it together? It was, he made it easy, but it was hard at first. Like, when I first, I think I got off the plane. I got there late, went to sleep, you know, and I woke up. I was getting ready to go to the gym. I just got picked up. I'm, like, jittering in the car. Moe can't sit still. So we pulled up, we pulled up. And he, like, that was just one of the most normal, like, cool, laid-back people. I was like, I didn't make it easy. Then, like, literally, we didn't even- We went to go work out. We didn't do, like, anything physical. I think I shot for about five minutes, you know, just, like, in him talking about some of the stuff that he does. But we literally sat and talked and walked through things with coach for, like, an hour and a half. And literally just sat there listening to ask questions. But, man, it was, and it worked out the next day. He's crazy. Like, he makes everything look so effortless. It's easy. It's so easy. It started- He's doing five, six combo, step back, and it is just the smoothest, easiest brand.


welcome back to another counter side video today we're going to talk about shadow palace one rooms one to five a guide on how to clear it and more or less you can you know mix and match the units that you're going to take in shadow palace one for that if you want it updated counter side videos please hit the subscribe button down below okay guys so we have here shadow palace one so we have five rooms for this one and um i'm going to take you through the battle preparations for room one okay guys so things to know for room one um strikers will be banned for this one and the key to winning this stage is going to be um jiu shi yun because you need to counter his darker self in this stage and for your defender i'm bringing um admin shield man but you have the option of bringing irie alfort or stronghold four rangers i'm going to bring kyle and jiu shi yun here and admin rifleman um one of the um alternatives that you can bring here is also shinja and um oh sorry i forgot i also have a power trooper here so the alternate would be shinja um as for your support you have here um evelyn um your other option will be claudia uh snipers you have here edel and liud milla of course you can actually bring sweeper as a sniper if you don't have them also you can bring shaolin so and also if you do have awakened units um they're you know they're the best to bring i'm just bringing this because these are for those who don't have awakened units yet and let's um more or less this team is built to auto this stage so every time i do showcase a team they can actually auto and clear it and i put in here sigma it doesn't have to be sigma and i put in here for the ship it's going to be enterprise so let's see this team clear this one so again guys there are a lot of um you know alternates for each of the you know the units that you bring um aside from the units that i've mentioned you can also you can also actually introduce some of the units that you think you can bring in you can actually try other units these are so far the units that i've tried in clearing the stage as for the gears um the most important gears here would be i think um with edel because of cooldown because she needs to you know put up some defenses like those minions that she has so as again um cleared for room one okay so let's proceed to room two okay guys so we are here at room twos lineup so we have lynn shin alex and cindy looper at the um striker position then you have here calwa jew shiyun um other you know other alternates would be paratrooper kim so bin and for your support you have here regina um other you know other alternates would be claudia as well then as your snipers you have here edel you have here lewd milla alternates will be shaolin she could be the main team but i choose not to use her and um if you have awakened units as well they're actually welcome to be used here so let's take a look at this this is also um good for auto okay so um for this team i think for the important gears that you have here would be um lynn shin uh cdr edel as well you have to have good speed here in terms of deployment because you need to make sure that you can you have to you know push back the enemies here especially lumie lumie is actually pesky because of her ultimate that's rock that she has so you have to push back from the initial attack that they have so as you can see here i've been pushing back for the enemies for a while then once i have the momentum then i can push forward so this team is actually built on a second wind um that you have you just have to make sure that you have good defense and be able to mass your own units at the same time so again um hopefully i could clear this in one minute 30 and i think we're good here so basically that's it so lynn shin is actually your engine here as well as edel as well as regina okay so we are here now at room three okay guys so here is my lineup for room three so the theme for room three is actually just to overwhelm your you know your your enemies it's not really a challenging stage to have so rangers here will be banned to start off with for the strikers we have here lynn shin we have alex again and we have cindy looper um they are actually good as your strikers um i think you could also you know put in other strikers like um uh irons away if you have them and also for the defenders i have here shield man only shield man because i was supposed to bring in irie alford but i opted for cindy looper so that is it i have for my snipers would be lewd milla edel and your alternate here will be um shaolin as well then for the supports you have here regina you have evaline and also your alternate here would be claudia so let's take a look at this on auto so again this stage is just mainly to overwhelm your opponents um nothing too special with this stage just have to again build up a lot of what they call this defense at first then probably build up your reinforcements at the back as you know as you can see here um alex is doing the work up front together with admin shield man then you have regina to bolster up the front line then you are actually inching your way towards the ship so this one is just really to overwhelm then you have there who is that that is cindy going going towards the ship so i think i can clear this in one minute 30 so then you have lynn shin again the engines are still the same lynn shin cdr edel with the cdr um sets as well then here there goes your um room three finish or win okay so let's proceed guys to room four okay guys so we're going back to our old reliable so you have to over this stage we're going to have a max deployment of 25 so now i have 25 exactly so um for this one you're going to be using for your strikers lynn shin of course you have alex there you can actually put incendi if you want for your snipers again it's going to be yudmila and edel again you have the option to swap in um either shaolin or i think sylvia is is good for this one for your for your rangers you have kyle wong you have admin rifleman you can actually swap in as well shinja or partrooper if you have and for the supports you have here regina regina um support i think for this one um claudia is also feasible but i'm going with regina so let's take a look at this for room four and on auto okay so again for this room maximum deployment the the one thing that you should consider here is going to be lumie again lumie is going to be your nemesis here so you have to take control of her oh no it's not lumie but anyway um this room um again you also have to make sure that you put up well your defenses this team is actually the the lineup that i have here similar to my room three team um basically i just used the bare minimum for this one in terms of deployment cause that is why they were able to fit this stage okay so here we are um nice clear win for room four okay so we have the last room here in shadow palace one so this is going to be a big warning for you guys so here are the rewards so let's prepare for this one okay here we are at the the boss room so this is actually room number five so mechs and the mechs are actually banned here and the deployment cost is actually max at 25 so you'll be encountering three bosses here so as you can see i have only one striker here striker again lynchin is preferably um what you want to carry alternatives would be ingrid and cindy for your defender you have administration shieldman and you have aria alford you can actually put in stronghold if you want um kyle wong and jushi on here so again shinja and paratrooper can be your you know swap swap ends if you don't have them then for support you have eviline keller of course claudia is actually a good sub and for again as your snipers you have eddill and yudmilla um swap ends could be sylvia or shaolin so let's take a look at this on auto okay so we have here boss number one this is i think ogami um again the theme is to build up defense for this boss um to be able to overwhelm i'm not sure if i'm going to clear this in record time but again a clear is a clear so that you get the you know the goodies for the stage so he's about to be done for eddill and there you go so basically it was just ogami that came out for this one so hopefully uh yeah um there it is jushi yun is here jushi yun is out and then the other one who's the other boss who's the other boss forgot to see the other boss there were actually three bosses for this one so that is why this will you know take you much time to conquer um but i got it in one minute and 30 so that is a win for room number five for shadow palace one okay guys so that is it for shadow palace one um you have there your alternates if you don't have those heroes or those units in your team so it's a new record for me and that is it um i'll see you next in my um shadow palace guide for palace number two so anyway guys if you don't if you have you know if you have stayed as far as video please do subscribe because this helps my channel a lot also please do click the bell icon and put a like to this video thank you guys stay safe take care this is the warden and i'm out of here


This is Coach Mack. Welcome to Beneath the Surface, powered by Microsoft. Today we're going to look at some various run schemes of the Denver Broncos for Monday nights game against the Tennessee Titans. What we want to look at today is the run game because the passing game John Elway has added a lot of weapons for young quarterback Drew Lock. But let's take a look at the run game and some of the schemes that the Titans will face on Monday night football. First play we're going to see from the Texans here. This is 12 personnel. You can see the heavy tight ends to the defensive right. Tight end is going to come across in motion and now then come back when the ball is snapped behind the line of scrimmage. They've added a ghost reverse to this play and then Lindsey is able to read across the line of scrimmage with his cut. He can either keep it frontside or he can cut back where the tight end has come across and made what we call a crunch block on the end man on the line of scrimmage. The next play we're looking at is 12 personnel but now the second tight end is in the backfield as a full back. Still the same type of block but now it comes off of a read action type of look with Freeman getting the ball but the quarterback still having the read option type of look when you see him place the ball in his stomach and then he's reading the second level defense whether to hand it off or to pull it and throw it. This next play is again 12 personnel. You can see it's heavy to the defense's left side. The tight ends are over here on this side. The back is offset. This now is what we call a draw g. The draw g starts with the guard or the backside guard pulling the left guard from the offensive viewpoint pull and now this is a pin and pull play. They're pinning everybody down on the side of the line of scrimmage and then they're pulling the backside guard. Again this is 12 personnel. 83 is the second tight end. He is in the backfield now. Same type of crunch look but now it's coming from the back is in a dot look. Watch number 83 come across block the element on the end of the line of scrimmage and again Lindsey is now going to read and see which hole opens up and which linebackers I discipline they have fooled. The last play is 11 personnel. Now they're going to bring a wide out in and insert between the tackle and the tight end to create another gap. This is another nice innovation that Denver has done with their run game. This creates a dilemma for the second and third level defenders for their gap responsibilities. This insert between the tackle and the tight end is another element to this run game that the Tennessee Titans are going to have to be well aware of and be very disciplined to play.


Hi, I'm Dr. Sarah Salter and I'll be teaching core literature online. Our online course is going to focus on newspapers and magazines published in English from 1700 all the way up until the now. And we will read things like fiction, poetry, advice columns, list circles, essays, exposés, all kinds of stories that are both factual and fictional. Across the course of core literature we will talk about the ways that fiction and truth fold together in periodicals. We'll think a little bit about Stephen Colbert's notion of truthiness and we will use methods of literary reading to explore the history of serial publications in the western world. I hope you can join me for core literature online. Thanks. Hey there, I'm Professor Murphy and I'm going to be teaching this class on the radical romantics and the beats. And so we're going to be using this book here. This is the Poems Moinium. It's a fabulous piece of work here and the portable beat reader and we'll be reading Richard Bronegan's The Hawk Line Monster. Not this whole thick thing, but just about that much of it, okay? And then we're going to be reading On the Road by Jack Kerouac. All right, what I'd love to talk about. I can't wait. Hello, I'm Dr. Far from the English department. In the spring I'll be teaching a course for sophomore literature called Gothic Fiction, Gothic Film, in which we read 18th and 19th century Gothic novels and examine 20th and 21st century Gothic inspired films. One of the main points of the course is to examine the ways in which recent film draws on centuries old tradition owing to the Gothic genre. Hello, I'm Dr. Eric Luxrow and next semester I'll be teaching English 2332, Western World Literature from the Bronze Age to Renaissance. We'll begin the semester with some of the oldest literature in the world inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets as early as 1600 BC. We'll read some of the most famous works of classical literature such as Selections of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, Virgil's Aeneid. From there we'll move into Northern Europe in the early Middle Ages. We'll read the medieval Spanish epic of LC. We'll read some ancient Celtic literature and Arthurian literature from the later Middle Ages. And we'll finish the semester with William Shakespeare's Othello and Hamlet. That's 3,300 years of literature. Our ultimate goal here is not only to understand how past people read and interpreted these stories, but also to understand how narrative shapes the way they and we see the world around us. My name is Kelly Bisayo and I teach literature and culture, which is English 2316. My course, The Drone in Literature, asks, what is a drone? Is it a robot? Is it an airplane? Is it something else? We think about the emergence of flight in the 20th century. We think about what pilots mean to us. Pilots are our heroes. And I think this is something that really troubles us about drones is that they take our heroes away. So the books that we read, the plays that we read, the movies that we watch, they all ask, what does it mean to be a pilot? And how does that change when the pilot is remote? Hi, I'm Dale Patterson. I'll be teaching English 2316 Literature and Culture. And the class title is Movement, Migration, and the Imagination. This semester, we're going to be talking about literature that deals with border crossings. I'm interested in the kinds of stories that people bring with them when they move across borders, the kinds of histories they're bringing with them, and the experiences. And I'm interested in the connections between the U.S. and Latin America and how literature gives us ways to deal with the issues that come with these border crossings.
