gallery. Have you heard of them? Probably not. I hadn't until they reached out to me and offered to send a bunch of their products for me to test. So over the course of the last few weeks and months I've been testing their airbrush products in my studio.  If you're new here, welcome to my channel. My name is Darren. This is DJB Studios. I am a professional model horse artist and I've been airbrushing since 2017. Model horse customizing takes a lot of finesse, a lot of detail, and because of that I need my airbrushes to perform. So I've been running these same two airbrushes since I started my airbrushing journey. The clips run for around $200 and the micron runs around $600. That's a large price gap and a large price point. That's where I think gallery might be a good option for you. So gallery is a relatively new airbrush company and they're predominantly based on Amazon. So you can get that through the amazon.com and amazon.ca website which makes it really easy to order. You can save on shipping all that Amazon jazz.  So that's super helpful too because everything is accessible. It's easy to find, easy to get. So they want you to have the good quality airbrush experience at a low budget price and I think that's great. I think they're doing a really good job of that and I would say that their airbrushes perform as expected to the price point that they are offering them. The biggest thing that is new to gallery is their nozzle. So they've created this unique nozzle system. The nozzle cap detaches from the airbrush as normal and then the actual nozzle itself is seated inside of that nozzle cap and it has a self centering function. So you should just be able to drop it into the cap, screw it on, and you're ready to spray. It has little grooves on the outside of it and this is supposedly to help airflow get to the tip of the airbrush so that you have more air pressure to work with. And the idea is that you do not need a nozzle wrench when taking apart and cleaning the airbrush. So that reduces damage, that reduces frustration and the part itself is not as small. For example, my Iwata Eclipse has a pressure set nozzle in it so it's this gold piece with the really tiny nozzle tip attached to the other end of it. You can remove that nozzle tip though it's not recommended by Iwata. The piece itself is fairly easy to deal with because it's large. However, the tip of it is very fragile and it's very easy to crush that, damage that in your painting process, cleaning process of the airbrush. Now if we go to my Iwata Micron, which is a very expensive brush and if we damage this nozzle it could cost us $80 to replace the tip on its own. We have to take my Iwata specific nozzle wrench and we have to carefully insert that wrench onto the tip and twist it off. And this is very fragile and very very very small. In comparison to the gallery tip it's significant. My micron is running at the 0.23 millimeter size needle so that nozzle is going to be exponentially as small. So you can see when we compare all of these nozzles together the gallery one is quite a bit bigger than the micron and then the eclipse same thing. So there's a less fragileness to the tip of the gallery and if you're new to working with airbrushes this could be really beneficial for you because you have less risk of smashing it up and it's easier to hopefully pop out. My concern with this is that it might over time if it gets really gummed up with paint in some way. It might be kind of hard to get that drop set nozzle out of the nozzle cap. Another feature they've implemented to all of their airbrushes, even the beginner airbrushes, is that twistable paint gauge on the back. When you twist that little piece on the end that allows you to control the amount of paint that you want to exit the airbrush. They're also really smart and including a quick release system on all of airbrushes. I personally do work with a quick release set in my studio. I'm popping back and forth between my two airbrushes and I only have one hose. All of the airbrushes are also dual action and that means that the trigger itself is dual action. So you're able to push down for air pressure and pull back for paint. That allows you to have the utmost amount of control while you're painting. Quite a few models of their airbrushes come with interchangeable needle sets. So this is a thing that you can invest in in certain types of airbrushes where you can get a new nozzle and a new needle size to interchange on the same body of the airbrush. So with some of these kits you're getting a 0.35 millimeter needle and a 0.5 millimeter needle. 0.5 is going to give you a wider larger spray. You can use that for thicker paints, paints with glitter properties. 0.35 is more for detail works. So that's really awesome because that allows you to have basically a two in one feature to your airbrush. Some of their kits also come with a moisture trap that you can screw onto the end of the airbrush and all of the boxes come with extra o-ring. The box has a lovely diagram on the inside as well which allows you to see all of the parts, the names of the parts, and how to reassemble the airbrush in case you take it apart and get stuck. A lot of their brushes have removable paint cups and so that allows you to have different sizes depending on the quantity of paint you're needing. It also supposedly helps with cleaning because you're able to remove that cup entirely. So what I have noticed with the gallery airbrushes versus my Iwata airbrushes is that they are a little bit harder to clean and a little more time to change paints and that's because that is a twist-off cab that makes the needle and like the spot where the paint kind of pools and like causes problems to be quite deep set into the airbrush. So it's hard to get a brush in there to clean and scrub and get like the paint that could be gummed up in that area a lot more than on say my Iwata brushes. So I was finding changing colors with the gallery one was a little more time consuming than the Iwata one. A lot of these gallery airbrushes I will say the one thing I noticed is that the tip itself slightly poked out of the nozzle cap and I think if you were to drop that on that it would not be so good. I will say that gallery has been incredible in this process of creating this video. The customer service has been next level and we all know how frustrating it can be when customer service is less than ideal or less than communicative. They've always been really responsive really quick and I think if you were to have any problems or concerns emailing their support team you will get a response. So I'm always game for promoting companies that care about their products, care about their customers and are making an effort to be better than say some of those larger brands that aren't really considering the customer in mind. So they have sent me four of their airbrushes here. They've sent me two of the advanced ones and then two of the ones that come with the beginner's kind of kit. They have sent me two air compressors. They've sent me their paints and everything comes with that really great color wheel there in the front. So they sent me two of their compressors. So I tested both of these rigorously and I disliked both of them. So that takes a while to fill up. So I'm not sure about this one. It's already like getting quite warm and pressure wise it's not holding the pressure. If you are familiar with my channel and if you're not I have a couple videos on air compressors themselves and I've done a ton of research into air compressors and what you need for your painting setup and so I've actually converted my studio to include a shop compressor. Some of my models aren't quite large like this is quite a bit of surface area to be painting on. If you're painting miniatures and smaller models then you're probably okay. They only reach a maximum psi of around 30. That's not quite heavy enough for me on certain cases. I like to spray at a higher psi. I actually found that like two of them were faulty out of box so I was not impressed by them and I told gallery that and they understand that their market might not necessarily be me so if you're interested in like model horses and painting traditional briars probably not those compressors. I will say that I have the little ambition one, the little purple one. I have that under my desk and I do actually use that in my studio now. If I just need like a quick spray of something or a really quick little like touch-up I'll turn that one on because it's less intense and invasive as my large-scale compressor. The kits themselves are a very decent price point and they come with everything you need. They thought of everything. You get this really great color wheel, comes with a full set of paints with a airbrush thinner and an airbrush cleaner, cleaning pot, cleaning brushes and a cleaning needle as well as not one but two airbrush hoses. It comes with two factory default airbrushes that are decent quality as well. Price is kind of right so if you're going to go for like a full kit I would say these gallery kits are pretty decent. I'd probably avoid that dual drive compressor. I don't think those will last over super long time. The emission one though, I think it'll be okay. So depending on the scale or the size at which your painting really matters, across the board I think my biggest complaint about these brushes is that they're not entirely smooth. And what I mean by that is the triggers, like you can hear them. They kind of have a grindiness to them. They feel like they pop in a little bit. These are fresher to the box. Some of these I haven't even used and I find with my eclipse, things are like really smooth even when it's like gummed up with paint and the micron is even smoother. It's really hard for me to transition to a lower quality brush that just doesn't have that smoothness in the trigger because that actually does lead to issues in the painting process and I'm going to show you how these guys perform and spray and you'll see that the trigger action is a big contributor into the level of smoothness and detail you can get into your paintwork. So I have three of their airbrushes to review. I have one from their advanced series, their ace series, and their premier series. The advanced ghad68. So it comes with a 0.38 millimeter needle and a 0.5 millimeter needle that you can interchange. And this is actually a really unique brush because it has the trigger action, which is different from your typical finger trigger and it has this big plastic-y handle that I complained to gallery that it was very loose when I got it. Like it rattled like this. I was like there's no way. This is like this feels cheap. It's falling out of my hand. I figured out that there's like a little screw on the bottom that you just have to tighten and then it's all good. So apologies to gallery for that. Kind of interesting. It's a little more ergonomic I think in certain ways for base coating and stuff. If you're spraying like a lot and for a long time I think this would be an okay brush. I threw the 0.5 needle in there and it was spraying really well with the thicker paints and the glitter based paints. So it did a it's a decent job. This is not a detail brush.  You're going to get like basic structure, maybe basic shading. And I find out of all of them this one is definitely the cheapest feeling. It doesn't feel as solid and the price point for this airbrush is $70. You can get the one with the regular trigger handle which is the GH8039 for $45. That would come in very similar to this classic one that came in the kit. I think it would be very similar. You get what you pay for for $45 affordable but you're not going to get high quality detail and you might fight with this a little more than say some of these better models that exist on the market. Then they sent me the A-Series which is like one of their higher end models and this is designed for more details. Comes with a 0.35 and 0.5 needle set that you can interchange. Founded this one, it's produced a lot of air pressure and it was kind of creating some issues. It's hard to control the paint. I think this brush gets the job done. I think it's comparable to the Eclipse and we're at a closer to $100 price point on this guy versus the $200 Eclipse. Once again not as smooth in the trigger better than the classic ones but not as smooth as the Eclipse. It's not as high quality but I think this would get you by. Then recently they also sent me their updated Premiere series which is the Mobius 0.3 premium. It's very fancy. This is a very attractive airbrush. I really like the twist. This trigger feels a lot smoother. This is only a 0.3 millimeter needle so they're all kind of the same. This Mobius only has a 0.3 needle in it so it's a little bit smaller but I wasn't able to get nearly the detail out of it as compared to the Micron so it's not quite at that caliber. It was retailing at $65 and there's a 0.2 millimeter version which would be closer to my Micron in the size of the needle and that one is retailing at $75 so you can choose how fine you want to get with your spraying. The Ace series is closer to $100 whereas this one's like $65 so it's pleasantly surprised by this airbrush. So for all of these airbrushes I tested a different shade of green using a golden high flow acrylic paint. This is a paint designed directly to pop into the airbrush. For my second test panel I used the Vallejo model air. This paint is slightly thicker not always great just throwing it right into the airbrush sometimes it causes problems clogs. The airbrush can't handle it and then I used the gallery paint which is the paint that came in the rushing kit and this was actually I was quite surprised by it. It was pretty decent. I haven't done a ton of testing with their paints so I can't really say that they're good or bad but it seemed to flow through the airbrush really nicely. I'm also switching back and forth between a 50 psi and 30 psi out of different compressors so that you can see the different ways that different air also affects the paint and the brush itself. Starting with the classic airbrush the golden paint this did pretty good but like the sticky trigger starting it out was causing some problems and I was finding that the golden wasn't really flowing through it super great. Adding the Vallejo paint it didn't like that as much it was sputtering a little bit creating a fairly soft feel but definitely not as soft as the golden. I found when I reduced the pressure it did a lot better on the 30 psi. The gallery paint it did pretty good we had a few moments of oversaturation so there was some issues with too much paint coming through because that trigger same thing just like it being a little bit sticky it's hard to control and then you end up pushing too much paint out and causing some spatters and there was some inconsistencies in the line. This brush definitely performs as expected nothing fancy. Going into the advanced trigger airbrush here the trigger makes it really hard to control this spray. Did all of these tests at 50 psi? It performed all of these paints fairly well. The spray itself was not super smooth though it it did an okay job but not the most uniform spray like you can definitely see the particles of paint. This had the 0.5 needle in it though so that may have been part of the issue but I wouldn't use this brush for detailing of any kind I think it would not be able to handle that at all and it really disliked the gallery paint. It was really pushing too much of this paint out. So the ace here out of the gate fairly uniform spray but it definitely was too much pressure with the 50 psi and the golden paint. It was really wanting to put too much of this paint down and this is quite a thin paint so I'm not surprised by that. This actually handled the Vallejo paint a lot better but on the 30 psi it wasn't like not enough pressure to kind of push that out. Now it did almost the best with the gallery but there's a little bit of sputtering for sure. All in all this brush worked okay but not perfect. Now the Mobius did pretty good it had a pretty uniform spray a little more pigment with the golden it was kind of pushing out quite a few particles. A little bit of spattering a little bit of too much paint happening it seemed to do better with the lesser pressure. With the Vallejo paint it was pushing too much of this out for sure less than ideal lines but pretty smooth for the larger faded shading so it handled that paint pretty well. And it did a good job with the gallery there's a little bit of sputtering though still. Now when we jump to the eclipse we can see that these lines are just a lot smoother a lot more uniform so you really see the quality of the airbrush. My eclipse seems to be skipping a little bit so I think it might have a clog or something in it because it was breaking its lines a little bit but it handled the golden really nicely. The Vallejo was a bit labored did okay with the lower psi and repaint it did pretty good a little bit of spattering in there and a few skipped steps but pretty good overall. And the micron you can really see the level of detail at which you can get you can get that really fine line it likes this golden paint quite a bit. Vallejo is a bit too thick for it it does labor a little bit on that but you can still create pretty decent lines you just have to be cleaning it a lot because it would be clogging and it actually really liked this gallery paint. I personally think all of these tests turned out really good I would say the Iwata's definitely are the top performers. Premiere Mobius is the best bang for your buck price is great and the performance was pretty decent but the A-Series was not too bad. All in all I think if you're starting out in airbrushing you don't want to spend a bunch of money these airbrushes are a great option like I said you can get all of the extra spare parts you need the customer service is really great and they're really solid they feel good they put care into the design they've added features that you wouldn't normally get on other brands of brushes for that same price point and I would say that if you're looking for the utmost control and precision go Iwata but that's just that's just my personal experience so my conclusion to all of this is that I think gallery is a really great brand these airbrushes offer a really competitive price point and I think you'll be happy with your purchases if you do go this route I will say that these are not replacing my Iwata brushes at all in my painting process for model prices I just need a high level of detail I also want to say that the tool doesn't make the art it only makes the art faster so you're not going to like get a $600 airbrush and be able to paint better because you have a $600 airbrush it's only going to make your process easier faster more streamlined $45 all you can afford $65 all you can afford to get a gallery airbrush learn how to paint really well with that gallery airbrush and I think it will take you to places you've never dreamed of and then you can advance to the more expensive once you're ready but I started with basic art supplies and over time have graduated to professional grade stuff and I wouldn't say that the professional grade has made me a better artist it just makes me an easier artist sometimes less work the airbrush itself is not going to save you airbrushing is exhausting and finicky and frustrating but overall I think gallery's done a really great job with these brushes if I was starting out this is a route I probably would have gone honestly so I'm happy that I get to be a part of this and if you have any further questions feel free to leave a comment below you can always reach out through email and you can always reach out to gallery themselves because they're really awesome at replying a big thank you to gallery for making this video happen so all of those links are in the description below those links do help support this channel because I do earn a small commission if you click on them be sure to like this video subscribe to this channel so that I can offer you more airbrushing content thank you so much for watching happy airbrushing


I'm going to show you how to run your class report so you can see your NWEA data. So after you sign into NWEA, over here on the left-hand side, go to where it says View Reports, click the little drop-down arrow, and you're going to go to Map Growth Reports. Go ahead and click on that. So when the page loads, your reports will look a little bit different because I have some admin access so I'll see a few more, but the one that you're going to look for is the one named Class Report. Go ahead and click on that. First thing you're going to want to do, where it says Term Rostered, make sure you choose the correct term. Generally when you're running these reports, it might be after the test windows close, so if, for example, I was looking for my fall data, right now I happen to be the winter term, the current term will show up. So just use the drop-down here and choose the one that you want. So I'm going to pull the fall data from 2223. This one will automatically change for you. You should be all set. They should just say the same thing. You might or might not, depends on your access, have to change your school. So I'm going to go ahead and do that. Scroll down to where it says Next. Click on that. Yours may already have the school selected. You probably or you may or may not have to choose your instructor. So all you have to do now is choose your name if it's on the list. Otherwise, because of your settings, you might be automatically selected. So you might have to make it to skip this step. Click the Next button. Choose a class. I always tell everybody just choose attendance. They're all going to work the same. They're the same kids, but the attendance is at the top. That's the easy one. Select that. And because right now we're just looking at reading data, you can clear all of the checkboxes and just choose language arts. If you also want to look at your math data, by all means, go ahead and check that box as well. But it's up to you. For right now, we're just going to look at language arts. So if you just check that box, you'll be good to go. We're not going to group by gender ethnicity. You do. Now this would be my suggestion. I like to group by RIT score. So my kids with the similar scores are grouped together. So it makes it a little bit easier as I'm looking down the list to kind of group kids. If you want to do it by students name, you can also do that. So whichever one works for you, whatever you're trying to do, I'm going to do this by RIT score just so my kiddos are grouped by their score. I would make sure that the student detail is on display and the instructional area is up. So basically, I change it to RIT score. You could do it by student name if you want. And then leave these two checkboxes checked and then leave it as instructional area descriptor. Go down to where it says create PDF report. And then it should open just like that. What you will see is in this chart, you'll see the national, your grade level, as well as your own personal. So your mean RIT score right here is your class score. Right here is the grade level. And then right here is the grade level for the entire country of who's taking it. So just giving you a heads up on what those are. The second page will be all of your standards. It breaks out the reading into the standard. So this is where you will see your green and your orange and your I'm sorry, your green and your blue, how they achieved high and your red and orange, your struggling areas. And then the third page will be your actual students listed. Now you'll have page three and page four depending on how many kiddos you have. But here's where you can look at individual students. So the majority of the time you'll look at this page and that will have kind of the breakdown for reading. Same thing for math. So this is how you would get to the report used with your class data so that you can fill in that NWEA data sheet.


This week's students and staff at Central Lakes College are taking part in celebrating Medical Assistance Recognition Week. The week is designated by the American Association of Medical Assistance to recognize those in the medical field who provide support by performing clinical and clerical duties. The unique versatility in the profession is making medical assisting the fastest growing profession in the field in the next decade and beyond. The medical assistants work along with other health care team members to provide overall care to patients when they come into the clinic. They work under the direction of a provider, either a physician or a nurse practitioner or a physician's assistant and they are an integral part of that overall total care of patients.

Hey, what's up you two, I'm Zeke and welcome to the dream green show in this episode. I'm going to show you guys how much I made from giving $2,000 to a crypto trading bot. The crypto trading bot that I was using was Poloni X. I'm going to show you guys exactly how to set it up, how to deposit your money and exactly how much profits I made in just the last week alone from running this crypto trading bot. I set it up once, left it alone. I didn't check on it for entire week and came back and made some major gains of big profit guys. I can't wait to show you guys. So for me, this was kind of like passive income because I deposited some money, left it alone, came back a week later and I was in the green guy. So I can't wait to share how much I made from running this bot with you guys and to see if you guys want to join along with me from creating some passive income. As always, I'm going to leave the link down below to Poloni X and I'm going to leave the link down below to Coinbase in order for you guys to purchase some cryptocurrency and to deposit it into the crypto trading bot. But enough talking, let's go ahead and dive straight into this video. Welcome back dreamers. Here we are on my Poloni X account right down here at the very bottom. I am running the infinity grid bot, the Ethereum USDT pair. Now there's been a lot of articles out there saying Ethereum is on its way to $5,000. So if it does go up to $5,000, I expect to see another major game inside my Poloni X portfolio. I'm going to tell you guys why an infinity grid bot is important when the market is in a bull market. But check out these games in three, two, one. Bam, there we are. I am up 18%, well, 17.89%. In just a week alone, I'm up $422. That is amazing guys. So make $422 in a single week. Just imagine if we was able to do that every single week. Right now I got around $2,300 invested into this bot. So I'm going to end up stopping this bot in this video right here and look for I could take this $400 profit and have an even larger investment into this infinity grid bot. As I do expect Ethereum to probably go up over the next couple of weeks or so. And today profit alone, I am up 1.17% $27 and 60 cents. If we take a quick look at the details on this bot, let's hit details right here and there goes my total profit. I'm almost at 18%. But the amazing thing about this is that we can set parameters. So I am up 18% right now, but we can also set a stop loss to where, hey, I'm up 18%. If Ethereum do decide to pull back, I do not want to lose all my profits. An amazing thing about Polonia X was right here, we can set a stop loss to where if it dropped below 15%, we're going to sell it, stop the bot and take our profits and where and we also have a take profit say, hey, Ethereum shot up to $5,000. I don't think it's going to get any higher in that. We could go ahead and take our profits at $5,000 or whatever percent step we wanted to be at. That is the great thing about this bot is that you can set it up once. You can set your stop loss and you can set your take profit. And then you could just set it up once and just enjoy your time and don't have to check in on this every single day. Because yes, there are going to be some red days just because you set up a bot in a perfect time and you think the market is going to be in a bull market, there are going to be some days to where it does pull back, you might lose a percent or two in a day. But over the course of a couple of weeks, let me show you guys exactly how the affinity grid bot works. This is a regular grid trading bot. It just buys slow and sell high by low and sell high. But the affinity grid buys the grid moves and there's no upper limit price as the grid moves up the percentage of profits that you take it larger and larger and larger. So there's no upper limit on the affinity grid. But you do buy low and sell high as well. But you are, but you can make a larger amount of profit from the affinity grid. But so let me show you guys exactly some other bots that they have and how to set up your box. So right here that do have grid trading, which was the one I was just showing you right here, grid trading bot. But the more advanced grid boxes right here, which is the affinity grid. But if you wanted to correct one right here, I think the minimum that you would need is $2034 and 75 cents just because the price of Ethereum is going up. So if you want to get in on Ethereum, you can as well. But if you want to select another coin other than Ethereum, let's say you are in, let's say if you own some Doge and you thought Doge was going to go up, let's see how much what is the minimum you'll need a minimum of $439. Everyone is expecting Ethereum to go up. So that $2,000 deposit might end up turning out profitable for you. But if you don't have around $2,000 and you just want to get in on some of these coins, you can pick different coins to have a bunch of different coins listed on here, like Litecoin, Dogecoin. So Dogecoin, if you had around $440 USDT, you can run this bot on the affinity grid bot. Let's look at Litecoin. Litecoin might be a better option than Doge. If you had around $600 USDT, you could do that one. But for me, I love running the Ethereum bot right here. In fact, let's take a quick look. If we was to set up the affinity grid, all you do is hit create. And of course, over the annual loss returns, backtesting the annual loss returns over the last 30 days, you can make 74% gains on Ethereum alone over the course of a year. You can almost double your money in just a year, guys, which is completely amazing. The profit per grid is 0.6%. And the lowest price USDT is $2,440. So if you fall below that, the bot will shut down and won't make any more trades and you could just take your stop loss and walk away with not that much loss and wait for the Ethereum market to get back in a bull run and then hop back in. Okay, so let me show you guys how to deposit some USDT to get your bot started. So all you got to do is hit deposit right here. And then there we go at USDTether. We want to change it over to the ERC20 token right there. And then hit the QR code and bring that up. The next thing that we want to do, we want to go to the Coinbase app from your phone or from the internet browser. I'm going to leave that link down below in the description. All right, so here we are on the Coinbase app. That link is down in the description. You want to click tether right there and then you could hit trade. And then you could buy USDT with your cash, set it up with your bank. You could buy as much USDT as you want. If you wanted to buy $2,000 worth of USDT. Or if you want to buy with $5,000 worth of USDT, you could do that right there. So after you buy your tether, you could hit your USDT wallet right here. Hit the arrow at the top right, which is the send button. Let's say you wanted to send over your $2,000. But right now I only have $87 in here. So let's say I wanted to send over $80, hit continue. And then all you got to do is hit the top right button, which is the QR code scanner right there. And then just scan it and bam, just like that. You'll be able to send over tether from your coin based wallet over to your Pannoniax wallet. And then once the tether hits your Pannoniax wallet, you'll be able to set up your box. So let's go ahead and stop the box that has $2,000 in it. And then we're going to restart it back up. So it'll be trading with even more money. So let's go back to trade. Let's go to details and then let's stop the box. And there we go. Hit confirm. And right now it's selling all of my Ethereum back over to USDT. And now let's go back and set up a bot right quick. So we're going all the way back to the beginning. We're going to hit infinity grid on Ethereum USDT. And we're going to put $3,086.29 into this bot. Once again, we're using that AI strategy. If you wanted to use your manual settings, you can play around with that. Let me know down in the comments section. If you found any manual settings, that's better than the AI strategy. Once again, profit per grid is 0.6% and lowest price is $2,440. We're investing $3,086.29 into this bot. And we're going to hit create. Hit OK. And there we go. It's created successfully. It's going to take some time to convert the USDT to Ethereum and get this bot started. And there we go, guys. The bot has started. I am down with $1.37. That's probably because it had to sell some Ethereum back and forth in order to get this bot started. But I will keep you guys updated if you want to stay updated on how this bot goes, make sure that you subscribe to this channel so you don't miss out on any future videos. And there we go, Dreamers. We made a profit of 18% in just seven days from depositing $2,000 into a crypto trading bot. Let me know what you think about this down in the comments section. I just sold a lot of my profits and I reinvested it back into the bot so it could trade with even more money. So now I have around $3,000 invested into a crypto trading bot. Make sure that you stay tuned to this channel to see how that works out. If you guys want to try out the Polonius trading bot, if you got a little extra cryptocurrency to send around, or if you're interested in a little passive income, now you're not guaranteed to make money. But in last return, while the crypto market is kind of in a bull market right now, you can make some extra cash while the market is in a bull market, which gives you even more Ethereum or Bitcoin that you can hold on to after the market is, after the market goes from a bull market to a bear market. And now I'm going to show you guys another bot to where you can make money in a bear market and when the market is actually starting to pull back how you can make money in that market as well, guys. So there's bots out there for every market. So make sure you stay tuned to this channel so you don't miss out on those bots that we're going to set up in order to make passive income every single week. But if you'd like to try those out, go ahead and buy some cryptocurrency using Coinbase, send that over to Polonius, try the Infinity Grid bot. And then let me know if you're already running these bots, if that's working out for you successfully down in the comment section. But other than that, guys, I'm Zeke. Bring you to Dream Green Show and I'm out. Peace.


All right so I was talking with someone the other day and they were talking about what makes chicken and waffle special. Well, it's the sweetness of the waffle. So today we're gonna try cinnamon rolls with chicken. Yeah, let's make them. We're gonna roll it out.  We're gonna use the spicy danos. That's the red top. We're gonna lay it right in the middle, sprinkle with the danos, and we simply roll, fold it over. We're going in 375 degrees. All right, it's been exactly 22 minutes. So now let's plate these up and hit with the icing. All right, you know we gotta do it. One more last good little sprinkling. Now let's cut into it. Let's give this a try. I'm trying to be fair. The spicy danos is awesome other than that. Well, unfortunately, that's where that belongs other than the spicy danos. Yeah, don't do it at home. Yum, yum, get yourself.


Good morning. Welcome to CMC markets on Friday the 24th of March. And this look at the week ahead beginning the 27th of March with me. Michael Houston and what a difference two weeks makes. I mean, I go away for two weeks. The markets looking fairly decent shape. I come back a couple of weeks later or 10 days later and suddenly all the wheels have started to come off. So, as we look ahead towards the next few days and the end of the month and the end of the quarter, we've seen a significant shift in investor sentiment. And it's not quite clear why that's happened. Obviously there's been concerns about regional US bank Silicon Valley bank on the 9th of March started to show signs of financial distress. It was essentially they didn't hedge interest rate risk. So rising, rising US interest rates started to cause problems with their bond book. And that contagion effect has spread to other US regional banks. I don't think there are any concerns about the bigger US banks. They've been much more better capitalized since 2008 and I certainly think lessons have been learned from 2008. So I certainly don't think we're in a 2008 moment when it comes to the major banks. I think the bigger concern at the moment is the smaller banks and of course you've got the Credit Swiss UBS Saga, which I have written about here. But again, as in the case of Credit Swiss, there wasn't really any concerns about its solvency. There was there were an awful lot of concerns about its credibility and the fact that once investors lose confidence in a bank. It's very, very difficult to get that back.  Initially put in a $1 billion bid for it that was that was pushed back on came back with $3 billion. The upside to it is that potentially that could be a good deal for them. But obviously given the fact that they haven't been able to do any significant due diligence on the bank does raise concerns. And I think when we look at how the markets have behaved over the course of the past couple of weeks. I think there is a concern about the effect that rising rates are going to have on the financial sector. As I'm speaking to you, the FTSE 100 is down over 1%. Most of those declines are being led by the banks, not only in the UK, but in Europe as well. UBS is now under investigation as is Credit Swiss by the US regulators over concerns that they may well have collaborated with Russian oligarchs to try and evade sanctions. So obviously I think that's feeding into a negative feedback loop when it comes to the banking sector. And I think there is, I think there's also concern that rising rates could actually slow down the global economy. But I think this is more about the fact that despite the improvement that we're seeing in economic data. And this is this is this. I think this is where I struggle with the narrative. We've seen rates go up. Markets are increasingly pricing in the prospect of rate cuts before the end of this year. Despite the fact that inflation still remains very, very sticky. The UK CPI numbers earlier today. Not earlier today earlier this week, certainly bear that out. And yet we have central bankers insisting that inflation is going to fall very sharply towards the back half of this year. Now, there's only one real scenario that I can foresee that that would happen for inflation to fall back quite sharply. And that is a sharp economic slowdown caused by demand destruction. So if markets are essentially pricing that, then obviously that would make sense when it comes to what's happening with respect to stock markets, because central banks won't be able to cut rates in the same way that they would have, say, 10 years ago, because 10 years ago inflation wasn't a problem. It is now. And although price pressures are starting to ease, certainly on the headline level, core prices are still looking very sticky and nowhere is that better borne out or better illustrated by the jump that we saw in UK CPI core CPI from 5.8% to 6.2%. So next week we've got US core PCE. I think there is a slow shift in the narrative that perhaps we are closer to the end of the rate hiking cycle than perhaps we were or thought we were two to three weeks ago. So the peak terminal rates for the ECB, the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve have come down quite a bit over the course of the past few days. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we're going to start to see rate cuts when inflation is still well above that 2% target. So I think what we're seeing here is I think an awful lot of concern about the banking sector, the bigger question is whether that concern is justified. But I think more importantly, whether or not what we're seeing now as we come to the end of the quarter will continue into Q2. I mean, when I look at the FTSE 100, I was fairly bullish on FTSE 100 at the start of this year, and it's completely unraveled. It's completely unraveled in the last two to three weeks since the beginning of March. This is obviously the end of last year. Since the beginning of March, 9th of March, when the SVB Silicon Valley Bank headlines start to hit the headlines. The last time I did one of these weekly videos, we've fallen off a cliff. And obviously one of the reasons why the FTSE 100 has been affected so sharply is because it has an awful lot of banks in it. Our Barclays HSBC, Lloyd's Now West, but it also is very energy heavy as well. And oil prices have come off quite significantly over concerns that all of this banking turmoil will constrain their ability to lend going forward. And that will slow global economic growth and ergo slow demand for goods and services, because essentially if banks aren't lending, businesses can't grow and consumers can't access credit in the same way that they have previously. So we're seeing some very big declines or has seen some very big declines in the past two or three weeks. The bigger question is, are we going to see further weakness going forward? And I think that's a much harder question to answer at this point in time. We are or do appear to be finding support in and around these areas here. So we're looking at 7300 7250. And we did see a little bit of a spike down back on the 20th of March down to 7205 but we closed very much on the highs of the day. So I think for me with respect to that particular day there when all of that credit Swiss headlines were hitting the headlines. There was an awful lot of concern that, you know, perhaps if credit Swiss if UBS hadn't stepped in to rescue Credit Swiss, we could have seen much heavier declines but overall, I think looking at 7300. That looks to be a very key support level going forward so I'm going to knock that line out now that it's broken. And we're starting to roll over and the big, the big, big support level for me 7300. So the first 100 has really been hammered over the course of the past two or three weeks. And consequently, we've lost all of our gains so far for this year. Now, as I say, I haven't, I haven't lost my constructive view on the FTSE 100. I still think this sell off is slightly overdone. Unless I have to be, I have to be directed by the price action and the price action at the moment doesn't look great, but we are just above support 7300. The DAX, the DAX has fallen off quite significantly. As I speak to you now Deutsche Bank is down around about 10%. There's certainly concerns about the European banking sector. And we're seeing here similar trend line support on the DAX coming in just above, just below where we are now, but also in line with those loads that we saw again on the 20th of March. Just going to knock out that blue line there now that that's gone. We no longer need it. We are a big fan of cluttering up charts with lines that have since moved past their sell by day. So we are heading back to support this trend line support from the lows back in October. And the key test for me will be whether or not we're able to hold above that trend line support, but more importantly also above the 200 day moving average. Let's just have a quick look at the weekly chart. Here that's not really telling us that much, but certainly as we come to the end of the quarter, the DAX is still higher than when it started the year. So certainly in terms of European stocks, still in the uptrend, even if the FTSE 100 is turning out to be slightly more problematic when it comes to potential further gains over the course of the next few months, the DAX is still very much in the uptrend. The P 500. Despite all of this noise around US regional banks. US markets have been fairly constrained, they've been fairly when I say constrained and orderly we haven't seen the sorts of declines in the US that we've seen here in Europe. And again, I'm not really not really sure why that is apart from the fact that obviously US yields now are much, much lower than they were at the start of the month. The US markets haven't really seen the benefit from that, but then again US markets are much more highly valued relative to the European peers. So we still remain very much in a range on the S&P 500. We could potentially draw a line through these highs I'm not going to do that because it's not a particularly elegant line and it doesn't really, it really does suggest to me that we're probably still in the range that we've been in since the start of the year. I think that's likely to change anytime soon. However, if we do get a breakout be interested to see how it plays out. What has been notable, however, is how the NASDAQ has outperformed over the course of the past few weeks it's actually higher. From the 9th of March and the Silicon Valley Bank headlines hit the wires, unlike European markets, which have fallen quite sharply, but interestingly, it's still below the highs that we saw from September, January, and now. So this 12,850 level is increasingly becoming a very important level. Interestingly, it might be worth drawing a little bit of a line in through here just to see whether or not there is any evidence or convergence of support levels and there does appear to be evidence of support levels. What is also interesting is that we've had a bullish cross on the 50 in the 200 day moving average. What's interesting also, however, is the fact that it's only now that the 200 day is now starting to point higher at the same time as the oscillator is starting to roll over towards the downside. So for me, we're still very much in a range here. There's big, big resistance at 12,850, which does suggest we could well see a correction back down to the lows, the turn line lows from those lows there. So keeping an eye out for that. In terms of the data, we've got fourth quarter GDP final numbers from both the US and the UK. That's very much a rear view mirror stuff. I'm not expecting to see anything significant come out from any of those numbers. But I think one thing that we have taken away, I think from recent events is while we've seen all of the major central banks hike rates this week, what comes after that is slightly less clear. And I think that's more than anything is what markets are grappling with right now. Have we seen the end of the rate hiking cycle? Are we close to the end of the rate hiking cycle? How many more rate hikes are there? If you're looking at the terminal rate predictions, you would think that perhaps we've probably got one more at the very least. And then it's really the bigger question is when do we start to see rate cuts? Currently markets are pricing in rate cuts by the end of this year for various reasons, either softening inflation or rising unemployment or both. I still think it's unlikely that inflation will fall as fast as markets are currently predicting, which means that the baseline level for interest rates is likely to be higher for longer. And the bigger question is how will that affect market pricing when it comes to equity markers? As far as the euro dollar is concerned, the ECB is still talking about higher rates, another rate hike. They're not going to prioritize financial stability over the levels of inflation. Personally, I mean, Christine Lagarde has said that she said that there is no trade off between inflation and financial stability. The reality is, there is whether or not she chooses to acknowledge that is another matter. If you raise rates to the point where something breaks, you're not going to carry on raising rates if the market is falling off a cliff. That's not going to happen. So, you know, whatever she says that there is no trade off, of course, there's a trade off. There's always a trade off in anything. There's a trade offs in life. So I think it's going to be very unlikely that the ECB will be able to raise rates as much as they think they can or will. How is that affecting euro dollar? Well, once again, we've tried to move back higher and once again, we've rolled over. One of the reasons we're rolling over at the moment is because of concerns about the European banking sector and what's happening there. But also, we're starting to see a little bit of a slowdown, particularly on the manufacturing side in French, German, as well as the UK economy. Those services is now starting to show signs of life. So we're still seeing mixed messages when it comes to the economic data. For example, euro dollar still remains in the uptrend that it's been in since October. And while that is in the uptrend that it's been in since October, it's interesting that it's pretty much closely mimicking the way the DAX has been behaving since those October lows. So certainly I think using euro dollar as a bit of a proxy for the DAX, that still works. So it'll be interesting to see whether or not that dynamic breaks down over time. Moving at cable, again, cable is holding up better than expected. But once again, we're still in the range. So top of the range, 124.5, finding a few offers above 123, 123.50, rolling back over again. So again, I think with the cable, we're still very much in a sideways trading range. I don't see that changing anytime soon. Let's get rid of that red line. Don't need it anymore. It's cluttering up the chart. And as I say, if it's not really serving any useful purpose, you don't need it. So we've seen a move in cable. I've put some Fibonacci retracements on this. We bounced off this support level around about 118 in the short to medium term, which more or less coincides with this low roundabout here. So very much in the range for cable. Expect that to continue over the course of the next few days. Interesting on euro sterling, we're trading in a bit of a triangular pattern here. But again, still very much solid support from the trend line through here, but also with respect to the 200 day moving average and those series of lows through there. So anything down towards 87 offers a fairly decent area of support. Anything up near 89 decent area of resistance. I think the interesting one here is going to be dolly in because we finally broken below 130 on dolly in. So we are starting to see a little bit of yen strength. I think a large part of that could be because of its haven qualities. When when equity markets sell off dolly in the end tends to strengthen. But again, we're still very much in a little bit of an uptrend. We've we've ran into resistance 200 day moving average that did manage to remain intact. And we've now rolled over. So it'd be interesting to see whether or not we're able to take out these these series of lows through here and about 129 80. I think there's potential for further weakness and dolly in and we could well revisit the lows of 127 20. Certainly based on the chart that we're seeing here. What I'm also looking for next week is flash CPI from the EU 31st of March. Obviously, we've seen a 50 basis point rate hike from the ECB at the last meeting in line with its previous guidance in January. The timing slightly unfortunate. They decided to look through the banking turmoil between Credit Swiss and UBS headline inflation has been coming down. It fell to 8.5 from 9.2 at the end of last year. However, the noises from various ECB policymakers while becoming increasingly hawkish. We have also started to see a lot more divergence between some of the northern countries and some of the southern countries. So the bigger question I think remains about what data the ECB is now more concerned about. They've on the face of it said that they're not really that concerned about financial stability or Lagard has said that I don't buy that for one moment. The bigger question is core CPI that hit a new record high at 5.6% in February. The bigger question is whether we start to see a softening in the flash numbers for March. So that's due out on the 31st also on the same day is core PC from the Federal Reserve. That in January unexpectedly jumped higher from 4.4% to 4.7%. Let's also also forget that in January US retail sales surged quite strongly as well. And it briefly sent the US two year yield up towards 5%. In the aftermath of that big jump in US core PCE now 5%. I mean, that's essentially where we were at the end of January. Now look where we are. We've fallen off a cliff pretty much and it more or less coincides with the eighth ninth of March when the Silicon Valley bank. The US regional bank woes started to hit the headlines. And now we're coming crashing off and approaching 3.5%. I mean that is a significant turnaround in sentiment when it comes to US two year yields with more or less 20 basis points down today. If we look at a weekly chart, the move is even starker. Let's look at it. Three big declines, you know, and his potential for us to move even further down. I'm looking at it on the month. Now let's look at it on the quarter. So we, you know, I mean that basically that's quite that's quite an interesting chart. And it'll be very interesting to see how that plays out as we come to the end of the quarter and we head into Q2. So those are the key charts. There's a couple of earnings numbers out next week. Next PLC has been doing particularly well. And actually, despite the declines in the FTSE 100 has held up reasonably well. It's reporting its full year numbers when next reported at the start of this year. The shares did react fairly positively and have spent most of this court pushing up to the highest levels in 12 months for price sales grew by 4.8% in the nine weeks to the end of December. And they also increased their four year profit before tax guidance by 20 million to 860 million pounds for the rest of this year next as it expects to see four year sales to decline by one and a half percent and profits before tax to four by 7.6% to 795 million They also said that cost price inflation is expected to peak at 8% in the summer before slipping back to 6% in the second half of the year, which sort of doesn't particularly chime with Andrew Bailey's recent comments that inflation is going to fall back quite sharply in the second half of this year. You know, you talk about sharply or 10% to 6% OK, it's not quite half, but it's still fairly high when wage growth is still around about between 5% and 6%. But certainly next does appear to be weathering the squeeze on consumer incomes much better than most and it'll be interesting to see what they say in this statement on the 29th of March. We've also got Ocado, again, that's not had a particularly great quarter thus far, got off to a good start in January here, pushed higher since January, it's come down quite a bit. And it'll be interesting to see whether or not it's able to stay above the lows that we saw back in October. This is this will be Ocado's first quarter numbers. It's four year numbers at the end of February saw the shares come under further pressure over concerns about its ability to grow its revenues, even as it spends more money on new deals. Just as a reminder, four year group revenues came in flat just over two and a half billion pounds. The company blamed higher costs as well as smaller basket sizes and its joint venture with Mark's and Spencer's along with the addition of new investment in the expansion of the solutions business. Obviously the shares have come under pressure because its US partner Kroger said it would not be rolling out any new fulfillment centers in 2023. So it'll be interesting to see how the markets react to its first quarter numbers when they are released on the 28th of March. We've also got John Wood Group. Those of you will remember that the last few weeks have seen quite a bit of volatility in this share price. Because the Aberdeen based oil field services and engineering company has become the target of private equity fund Apollo capital management and where the company has rejected for bids for the group over the course of the past few weeks. So that's it for this week. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for listening. I hope you will have a great weekend and a good week and speak to you all same time, same place next week. Thank you very much for listening.

I felt low, very low, the night I set out searching for the girl with the strange hazel eyes. The fog which hung over Los Angeles didn't help, and I felt even worse when I found her. For by then I had death on my hands. From the pen of Raymond Chandler, outstanding author of crime fiction, comes his most famous character as C.B.A.S. presents... The Adventures of Philip Marlowe. And now with Gerald Moore, starred as Philip Marlowe, we bring you tonight's gripping story, The Persian Slippers. One of those thin, chilly fogs that sneaked in from the Pacific and it hung vaguely to the streetlights along the sunset strip. It was a kind of a fog that you could see through, but everything was out of focus. You may just start wondering what you were going to do when you were 90 and you were all alone. I'd have liked to have spent the night in a room full of noisy extroverts playing charades, but instead I had to eat a quick dinner and drive up into the secluded Hollywood Hills to meet a guy. A guy who had nothing but trouble on his mind. When I pushed the buzzer I had the feeling of wishing I was someplace else. Carl Delaney himself opened the door. He was grim and brusque and to the point. Marlowe? That's right. Come in Marlowe. I appreciate this. You're coming up here after business hours. I mean, I wouldn't have asked except, uh, well, perhaps I waited too long as it is. Sit down. Thanks. Waited too long for what, Mr. Delaney? 36 hours ago my wife disappeared. Marlowe, you've got a finder for me. A finder just as fast as you can. Wait a minute. Disappeared, you said. Would you mind playing that part back a little slower? Norma simply walked out that door, got in her car and drove off to get hold of herself as she always does when we've quarreled. And always before she's come back in an hour or so. But this time... This time she simply didn't come back, is that it? Look, Mr. Delaney, I could... You'd better let me finish before you do anything. Lately my wife has been brooding over something, something serious that she refused to discuss. I've caught her crying several times and she's not a woman given to tears. Marlowe, I'm sure that unless we move fast when we do find her, we're going to find her dead. Suicide? Yeah. With his thick blunt hand, Delaney reached for a color portrait lying face down on the table and gave it to me. I looked and saw the face of a dream. A beautiful dream with strange hazel eyes and soft black hair. I felt Delaney watching me as I glanced up in time to catch the fading end of a very ugly expression on his face. I handed the picture back to him and he laid it on the table again, face down. Then he took me upstairs to Norma's room. It was a nice, frilly room, typically haunted by elusive sweet smells. It was only one incongruous note. What was the horoscope doing on her desk? In the looks of a picture, I knew that Norma was attractive enough that she didn't need to look to the stars for a future. A horoscope?  Marlowe, will you find her for me? I'll try. My rate is $25 a day plus expenses and remember, you hired me to find her and not bring her back. Fair enough, you just find her. I'll be satisfied. I'll need a starting point. Are there any phone calls or letters or anything that might be a lead? What about friends? We have no close friends. Norma always stayed to herself. Wait, there was a phone call yesterday from Madame Jeanette, I think it was. Who's that? A dressmaker? Any idea. She wanted to speak to Mrs. Delaney, I told her Norma was out and she asked that my wife call her when she got back. That's all there was to it. Anything else you can tell me? No. No, it's not much to go on. I'll see what I can do, Mr. Delaney. I'll be here all night, Marlowe. Call me if you need anything. I'll do that. Good night. I drove back through the persistent fog, the sunset boulevard. It was 9.30. I knew it was going to be like tracking a hummingbird through the petrified forest by the bent twigs, but I got a classified directory and I started digging. I checked the hairdressers, the manicurists and the milliners and I was just about to start on the interior decorators when I remembered the horoscope on Norma's desk. I quickly turned to the personal consultants. Yeah, there it was. Madame Jeanette. Her establishment, located in the dubious neighborhood south of Old Vera Street, turned out to be a tacky cottage set back next to an alley. It was as dark inside as out. I was pounding on the door like a vampire at sunrise when a news boy came up the path. Looking for Madame Jeanette? Yeah, yeah, you know her? Sure, she tells fortunes. She says I've got a great career line. You want to see it? Not right now, thanks. And I'll say for her that she's a sound sleeper. Maybe, but not so early as this. But this time she's always hanging around that bar on the corner. Tonight she's throwing a farewell party in there. Farewell party, who for? As self, she's leaving town. Ah, thanks a lot. Here, kid. Gee, a buck.  Give me another one, Charlie. Not every night. I say goodbye to my dear old neighborhood. Muscatel again, Jeanette? Yeah. Did I say dear old neighborhood, Charlie? I think you did, Jeanette. Must've had one too many then. Because of all the low, flea-bitten, raw shacks I ever lived in, this is the new low. Ah, Jeanette, that's no way to talk. You hurt my feelings. Pinky.  Yeah, you said it. Jeanette, can I have another? Yeah. Charlie, give Pinky another. This is his last. The last? I thought you said it was a farewell party. Eh, you and all your dough. This dough's to get me out of this rat trap of a town, see? It's the last I wanna see out of it in all my life, see? Yeah, yeah, yeah, we see. Another muscatel, Charlie. Eh, hold on a minute, Jeanette. Hey, what'll it be, mister? Something just a bit drier than muscatel. Say, Scotch? It's on me, mister. It's my party. Well, well, this is indeed a pleasure.  Yeah, why? You're all of 20 years younger than what I expected. Probably the life I lead. Hey, wait a minute. Why should you be expecting anything about me? I don't know you. Perhaps not, but I know you. From where? Oh, you're more famous than you think. Your reputation has spread far beyond Alvera Street. In fact, it's gone up as far as the sunset strip, madam, Jeanette. No kidding. How would you kid a fortune teller?  Well...  Say, you're beginning to make me feel like I shouldn't be giving up this racket after all. Giving up fortune telling? No. Yeah. I'm leaving town on a midnight train. Gonna spread my talents all over the east, and I'm not coming back. Don't tell me your crystal ball is laid a golden egg. So to speak, yeah. I come into some lettuce. Suddenly. That's always nice. Well, I guess it means you won't be interested in the few poultry dollars I'd intended to spend with you. Hey, can I have another beer, Jeanette?  Ah, just a... A traveling lady can always use a little extra moola. What was it you wanted, bud? I'm looking for someone. Norma Delaney. Norma de... I'm afraid I don't know anybody by that name. I'm afraid you do. What's your angle? Who are you, anyway? I'm Philip Marlowe, private detective.  Come on, Jeanette. Look into your crystal muscatels heaving in spot Norma Delaney. I told you once. I don't know the name. Now blow! Just a minute, dark eyes. Hey, Charlie! Yeah? This bird's crabbing my party. What kind of a joint is this, anyway?  Well, mister... I haven't finished my drink yet. You got pockets, ain't you? Just pour a drink into one of them and take it along. You ain't finishing it here. Charlie reached under the bar for his pick handle. So I left without pursuing the subject further. But I knew Jeanette was lying, writing a purple lipstick about Norma. I walked back to my car with a cigarette and spent a few precious minutes trying to decide whether or not to break into her place and snook. Then I caught the shadow of a figure slipping up on me from behind. I turned... Wait, wait! Don't swing! Don't swing! I was in the bar when you were talking to the madam. That tight watch, Jeanette. Yeah, I saw you saw. She did something the minute you left. I figured you might like to know what it was. That all depends. Well, I thought it might be worse something to you like a saw, maybe?  Spill it! Wait a minute! Spill it! If it's any good at all, it's worth a five or no more. All right, all right. She... She made a phone call. Who, too, what'd she say? Nothing. Just some swear words in Spanish. The line was busy. But I kept my eyes open and I got the number. All right, let's have it. If you can still remember it. Oh, I can remember easy. Five or first, huh? Here. Thanks. The number was Crenshaw1929. Did you get it? Like the year of the big crash. Thanks to the thirst of an underweight lush, I wasn't at the end of my rope yet. I drove as far as the nearest drug store dropped a nickel in the slot and dialed. Crenshaw, the year of the big crash. Hello, let me speak to Norman Delaney, please. I'm afraid you must have the wrong number. Look, you, I'm trying to locate Mrs. Delaney. I suggest you help me. How did you get this number? From a client, Mr. Carl Delaney. But that's impossible. Let's stop sparring. We can save each other a lot of wear and tear if we get together and talk this over. Maybe you're right. Yes, that sounds sensible. I'm at the Beachwood Apartments, number four. Check, I'll be right out. Mr. Pierre Gillum, it says here on the door. Yes. Are you the man who called? Uh-huh, Philip Marlowe. Come in, won't you? You said you were looking for Norman Delaney, Mr. Marlowe. Tell me what's wrong, has anything happened to her? Well, her husband seems to think she might have killed herself, but I have a hunch that you might have something interesting to say. No, poor kid, poor Norma. Well, I'll tell you what I can, Marlowe, but it isn't much. Oh, I'm all ears, and I'll sit, thanks. I was in love with Norma once, briefly, a long time ago. She was a wonderful girl, but her husband was insanely jealous.  No? Norma and I realized it's serious. Trouble lay ahead, so we parted. Good friends. And I haven't seen her or heard from her in months. I'd buy it all, but the last line. You have seen or heard from her, and recently... I'm not going to argue with that. I've told you the truth, you can take it or leave it. I'll leave it. I suppose we both put our cards in the table.   Touche, but why did she run to call you with the mention of Norma's name if you two broke up months ago? And, incidentally, how did that ersatz-erical Jeannette get mixed up in this in the first place? That is a long story, Marlowe. Good, I like long stories. I'll bet it begins just for a lock. Norma and I went down to Alvaro Street once they have our palms read. Yes, that's exactly how it started. Madame Jeannette was an unusual woman. A character, you might say. Well, we became friendly with her. Norma got quite sentimental about her. One day we made a sort of pact. If ever either of us was in trouble and needed the other, we'd go to Madame Jeannette or get a message to her. She would notify the other. So when I walked in asking for Norma, the madam assumed she was in trouble. Right, called me immediately, because she herself was leaving town in less than an hour. I know. Well, Mr. Gilliam, it's all very interesting, but it's getting me no place. Thanks.  Oh, no, oh, wait, Marlowe, don't go. I know a lot of details about Norma that I'm sure will be helpful. For instance, she drives a Nash coupé, a part of blue. Part of blue coupé, huh? Thanks, that'll help. Oh, and she has a fondness for white gloves. Wears them quite often. I see, well, I better get moving. No, no, wait just a minute, Marlowe. I've got to go. Listen, Marlowe. I told you I was in a hurry. I'll take it easy, stick around a while. Get away from that door. Well, just who do you think you are? Combusting in here, prying, asking questions. You dirty... Ooh! You'll ask for it, Gilliam. All right. Ooh! You got a left, too, huh? So have I, brother. Ooh! I left Gilliam's sprawl all over his coffee table. His limp is a five-cent salad. Outside, I glanced at my watch. Madam Jeanette's train left in 40 minutes. I ran through 22 bucks worth of red lights getting down to a cottage because I was sure Gilliam's attempted stall was tied in with a departure. But I couldn't figure out why. That is, I couldn't until I switched out my lights and coasted to a stop in front of her place. Then I saw it. Half hidden in the shadows, back of the house, sat a powder-blue coupé. I got up on the porch close to the front door and listened. Jeanette was talking to a woman. I couldn't catch what they were saying, but one thing was certain. The woman was Norma Delaney. All at once, I realized the talk had stopped. That was my cue. I shoved open the door and went in. Jeanette sat at a table alone, facing me. Well, Mr. Marlowe, you've returned. What is it this time? I'd like my fortune told. Yeah? Now, listen close, Gumshoe. I'll make this a short and snappy reading because I'm catching the train in 15 minutes. There's a woman very close to you. In fact, she's right behind you, sucker! What?! When I finally opened my eyes again, nothing changed. It took me a long time to figure out that the lights were off and it was dark. I climbed up the table leg hand-over-hand and switched on a lamp. Jeanette's house was absolutely quiet.  That reminded me what I was down here for. I wobbled through the kitchen and out the back door, but the part of blue coupe was gone. It was 12.15.  It was the sound of footsteps that finally moved me and the news boy was back. Well, how you again, mister? Did you ever get ahold of Madame Jeanette before she left? Yeah, but not tight enough. Say, a blue coupe left here a few minutes ago. Did you see it? Nope, I didn't. Gee, I'm sure as sorry she went away. She gave me a buck tonight, too. Said she was coming into a fortune. You and your career line... Say, what's that down there in those weeds? It looks like some kind of a shoe. Yeah, it is a shoe. Here, see? What do you know? A Persian slipper. I took the slipper along as a souvenir for my scrapbook and walked back to my car, trying to fit Norma Delaney's lovely hazel eyes in with that crack on the skull. But I couldn't. Between throbs of my headache, I figured Pierre Gillum would know why Norma had dropped in on the madam so close to train time and decided to go back and ask him. Gillum was as reliable as a two-headed quarter and just as tricky. So when I got to his apartment, I stepped back and braced myself. There was no fight left in him. He opened the door in his robe, fingered the mouse I had given him and grinned. Oh. So you found your way out by yourself. Uh-huh. Say, Gillum, what was so important about Norma seeing Madam Ginette just before a train left? I don't know. You knew enough to try to keep me here, to delay me why? Oh, Marlowe, I did that for old times' sake for an old friend. Ginette asked me to hold you here until midnight and I tried my best. Obviously, it wasn't good enough. That's all I know about it. I see your phone is off the hook, you know that? I took it off. It's given me nothing but trouble tonight. I hereby wash my hands of this whole business I'm going to bed. And I hope to sleep. Good night. I envied him and left to call my client, Carl Delaney. He said he'd be in all night, but the phone kept ringing and ringing and no one answered. I suddenly got a very creepy feeling. 20 minutes later, I pulled to a stop at that small but elegant house. The lights were on and I saw the powder blue coupe in the garage next to Carl's big black sedan. I ran up the steps. The front door was ajar so I went in. I found Carl Delaney in front of the fireplace. Faced down on the floor, it dead. There was a handbag on a chair. I opened it, compact cigarettes and a key to room 340 in the Bradford Arms Hotel. No identification. That color portrait of Norma was standing up on the table this time. Those searching hazel eyes seemed to follow me all the way to the telephone. Hey, Barra, speaking. Phil Marlowe, Barra. There's a dead one at 1077 Holycrest Road named Carl Delaney, murdered. I'll be right out. I hung up the phone and then the hair on my neck crawled as I heard the unmistakable sound of a woman's heels on the floor upstairs. I ducked behind the door as the heels clicked down the steps and then she entered the room. Norma Delaney was lovely. As lovely as a picture. She moved calmly and deliberately, put a note on the table, picked up the handbag and then turned to face the door I was hiding behind. You can come out now, Mr. Marlowe. Hello, Mrs. Delaney. You can call me Norma now. And if you're thinking of using your gun, perhaps you'll be good enough to read this note first. Here. To whom it may concern, I, Norma Delaney, purposely and with premeditation, shot and killed my husband Carl. It is beyond me to express how deeply I hated him and since I must pay for this and cannot endure a public spectacle, I shall take my own life within the next few minutes. Now look, Norma, no guns. I'll kill you if necessary, but it would be so pointless now. I'm free at last and I want to spend a little time left in me in my own way. Norma, if you're listening... Stay back. Tonight I made my only friend Madam Jeanette happy and I killed a man who needed killing. Something good. Something bad. So I'm quitting even up. What do you propose to do with me? You mustn't try to stop me, Marlowe. See that closet? Get inside and careful how you move your hands. Turn around to the wall. That's it. Marlowe, I'm sorry I had to hit you with Jeanette's tonight. Goodbye. It took three shots to smash the lock on that closet door. I heard her driving away just as I got it open. In spite of what she'd said, I couldn't let her kill herself. I ran outside to my car. One glance under the hood was all it took. There was nothing left of the wiring but loose ends. I ran into the street and a miracle happened. The first time in my life a taxi in Los Angeles when I wanted it. I'm sorry, fella. I'm gonna call. Skip it. This is an emergency. Hey, wait a minute. You can't... Police business. A girl is driving up the road in a blue coupé. We gotta catch her before she kills herself. Let's go. I think I saw a taillights just then. Yeah. Can't you go any faster? Not on these curves, brother. I got a wife and kids. Okay, fella. We'll be at the top of the hill when we can get around the next bend. Yeah. You can see the whole road down the other side. Here we are, mister. This is the top. But I don't see her. Where is she? Hey, wait a minute. Stop here.  This is haywire. I don't get it. We were gaining on her and now she just disappears. What's that? A motor. That side road we passed. That's it. Hey, look. Look! Smoke. We both saw the awful sight for just an instant. The part of blue coupé where the woman crouched over the wheel. It shot out of that side road, crashed through the guard rail and fell end over end down into the gorge. By the time we got to the hole in the fence, the wreck was an inferno. No use trying to get down there. The whole hillside will be on fire in another minute. I guess she pulled over here into this side road and waited for us to go by, and we did. Yeah. Sandy here, too. So what if she didn't get stuck? What's the matter? Something buried here in the sand. One of her tires ran over it. What is it? It's plenty, brother.  I just found the answer to a lot of questions. Yeah, Lieutenant. We found the body and the wife's suicide note. Then one of the boys spotted that fire up on the hill. What is it?  An accident? Or the suicide? Just a little of both, Ibarra, but we'll talk later. Right now we've got to go to the Bradford Arms Hotel on the double, and please, no siren. The Bradford Arms was a three-story walk-up. When we got there, Ibarra stationed one man in front, sent another to cover the back, and we started up the stairs. We had reached the second floor when we saw him on the landing above. Gillum. He spotted us at the same time and turned back fast. There, Marlowe. Who's that? That's our boy, Ibarra. Up here, Gillum. Let's go. There he goes. He's heading for the fire escape. Second lieutenant, he's all yours. I got business the other way. Hey! Room 336, 38. Ah, 340. It's all over now. You better drop the gun. Please, it's been neat so far. Don't mess it up. Come on, beautiful. Drop it. It's better. Well, Marlowe, I got him. I had to wing him to bring him down, but here he is. And the lady must be your... Yes, Lieutenant.  So she used someone else's body, Madame Jeanette's, which was a logical choice because Jeanette was blackmailing her, thus two vultures with one stone, leaving two lovebirds free to fly away together. Right, Norma? Didn't she give Madame Jeanette money so she'd leave town and tell everybody she was going away? Yes, I did. That way, the body wouldn't be missed, huh? Yeah. Isn't it pretty? I'll lay off, Marlowe. Can't you? Okay, Gillum. Okay. Ellie Bar, I've got a sour taste in my mouth. I think I'll go home and goggle. Anything else you need? No, I guess not. Full of hat oil, it's necessary. Uh, wait. Just one thing. How'd you get inside this setup? How'd you find out it was the dead Madame Jeanette who went over the cliff instead of the very much alive Mrs. Delaney here? Jeanette had on a pair of Persian slippers, Lieutenant. One fell off down at her cottage where Norma murdered her and put her in the trunk of the car. The other one fell off in the sand of that side road when she took Jeanette out of the trunk and propped her up behind the wheel. It was lucky, butter.  I took a walk later, a long walk, all by myself, through that thin, empty fog in the dark, empty streets.  And for some reason I kept thinking, a pair of Persian slippers has two soles and two heels. And it's hard to tell just exactly where the one becomes the other. The Adventures of Philip Marlowe, created by Raymond Chandler, stars Gerald Moore and is produced and directed by Norman McDonald. In tonight's story, the Persian slippers, Virginia Gregg was heard as Madame Jeanette, with Larry Dobkin as Pierre Gillum and Louis Van Rooton as Carl Delaney. The additional players were Jean Bates as Norma Delaney, Gil Stratton Jr. as the newsboy, Frank Richards as the barkeep and Tony Barrett as Pinky. Detective Lieutenant Barrow was played by Jeff Corey. The special music was conceived and conducted by Ivan Dittmarz. Be sure to be with us again next week at the same time when Philip Marlowe says... Sounded good, real good. A week-ended Malibu expenses paid with a cash bonus thrown in. But that was before I knew about the henchmen, the redhead and the corpse.  The big star-studded array of CBS Sunday shows starts tonight.
