Good afternoon, please welcome General Manager Microsoft,
Grad Conn.
[MUSIC]
>> Hi I'm Grad Conn, I'm the General Manager for
Microsoft Dynamics U.S >> And
just a quick sort of preview of the rest of the afternoon.
We're gonna have Nigel talk for about an hour.
The we're gonna take about a 15 minute break and
go into industry breakouts.
Then we'll end the day with Dr Oz, which should be super fun.
So this morning, Jetson talked through some
great customer examples And James took us through some
really fantastic technology examples, some great demos.
That PowerApps demo was really compelling, wasn't it?
Like basically making programs like you make a PowerPoint doc.
I though that was something else,
it reminds me of a great quote.
Doctor General, excuse me, general, I'm thinking of Dr Oz,
General Eric Schineske >> He has this great quote,
which is "if you don't like change, you're going to like
irrelevance a lot less." You know, it's- I love that quote.
'Cause it's, 'cause people are often like "Jeez,
I don't want to change," but you know, the alternative is,
is not great.
So...
In a moment I'm gonna be joined by Nigel Finnick.
Nigel is the vice-president and principal analyst at Forrester.
He's been there for about 11 years.
Looks at digital transformation as his specialty.
So very deep on digital transformation
it's gonna take us through some really interesting examples and
cases just gives you to think about digital transformation in
a really expansive way Just before I invite him out,
though, I'm just going to run a quick video just to
introduce the Forrester perspective.
And then we'll invite Nigel out.
[MUSIC]
All right, Nigel, welcome.
>> Thank you very much.
>> I'm going to let you talk for about 45 minutes, then I'll be
coming out, and we'll do a Q&A, so think about questions as we
go through it We got a couple of mic runners in the room so
we'll be able to take questions and, sir, break a leg.
Thank you very much.
We were just having a discussion on where Break a Leg comes from.
So, an honor and a pleasure to be with you this afternoon.
The title of my session, "Digital Predator or
Digital Prey?" I've actually been using this title for
a few years now.
I keep changing the content up but the title.
Resonates.
Why?
Because partly it's designed to be provocative.
But also because innately we think it's better to be on
the predator side than the prey side, I think.
It's sort of something we kind of understand.
And when we started doing research around digital
transformation, I used to do a researcher on business strategy.
And about five or
six years ago, I started seeing some interesting things change
in the way some companies were running their businesses.
And we looked at this thing.
It was built a lot around emerging technologies,
a lot around what was kind of social media.
And we wrapped this all up into what we called digital
transformation, which at that time, when you Googled it,
there was zero results if you can believe that.
The content, what I said at the time was every company by 2020
will become one of two things, digital predator or
digital prey.
And you have to figure out whether you can help your
company become the predator Or
whether you're gonna stand by and let it come prey.
So my task today is to help your challenge your
thinking that'll lead to some of the change and
hopefully help your companies become the survivors by 2020.
Because we're getting very close to that point,
that's only two years away now.
And we've been
seeing acceleration of this change over the last few years.
The more and more companies are ging
under because they are losing customers to more advanced
companies that are innovating faster.
Everybody is talking about digital transformation. Why?
Because it's real.
Because it's something that we need to do
to change our business.
What I'm gonna help you do is understand partly the why, but
it's really how the companies are changing,
what the fundamental things are we have to change beyond
technology and some of those we touched on this morning.
So why predator or prey?
Well, partly because when you look at, say,
the robin redbreast, right?
The robin redbreast Is a predator, clearly.
We've all see the little bird outside our windows in
the morning, and we know, there goes a predator, right?
>> [LAUGH] >> From the worm's perspective,
this is a predator.
Right?
Okay, so predators don't always look like
the real predators we think they are.
Sometimes they appear in different guises.
and sometimes They're actually not what we think.
Sometimes the predator comes out of left field,
comes from where we don't see it.
And that's the challenges.
Your business is likely to have a predator
that you don't see coming.
A company that is gonna do
things in your industry differently,
that are gonna change the way you think about your business.
that'll help transform the industry.
And you will be able to react, but you will be reacting.
And the speed at which you can react will largely depend on
how well you've prepared your company to change in an event.
And what's behind all of this?
Something that's fundamentally very simple.
We all have smartphones in our pockets today, right?
All of our customers have smartphones, right?
Whether you're B to B or B to C, every person you sell to
has a smartphone, and if they don't well they soon will have.
And what happens with these smartphones?
Few years ago I could unlock a hotel room
door with my smartphone.
Anybody have that experience where they're
unlocking hotel room doors?
Now I asked this question two years ago.
Nobody in the room had done it. Okay?
So
now we see a change in experience.
Those changes in experiences slightly reset our expectations
about what's possible.
Now I can unlock a door With my phone.
I can unlock anything with my phone, potentially.
I can do things with my phone I couldn't do before,
changes expectations.
Now it may not be enough to say, I wanna go stay in that hotel,
cuz they allow me to unlock my room door.
Because frankly, the old key thing worked pretty well.
But It does change expectations slightly.
But then what happens when the experience changes yet again?
What happens when another hotel company comes along and
says, hey, you can now pick your hotel room
the same way as you can select a seat on a plane.
Any frequent travelers in the room?
A few of you right?
Okay.
Well how important is it that you're not overlooking the train
station that sits on the side of this hotel.
Pretty important.
So the fact that you can now pick your hotel room
can have an enormous impact on the value of being able to stay
in this hotel chain.
It changes the expectations about what's possible and
it may also change your behavior And
this is the dilemma that we have as companies.
And our customers whether their
expectations are changing every single day.
When was the last time you had an app download on your phone?
An app update?
This morning?
Most of you don't know, right?
Cuz it just happens I mean, I don't know.
I think my apps seem to be updating every minute,
maybe I've got too many apps, that's probably a downfall.
But here's the thing,
you put this in to a mathematical formula.
I like to have very simple mathematical formulas.
So this is a very simple formula,
experience over expectation equal to perceived value.
Now,think about this,if the experiences are constantly
changing,the resetting expectations, right?
So where do we get our experiences from?
We get our experiences all over te place.
When we shop on Amazon.
When we go to an airport and jump on a plane.
When we stay in a hotel.
Everywhere, when we buy a cup of coffee, we get a new experience.
Those experiences are changing expectations.
Now, what happens if your customer's
expectations are evolving?
But your experiences that you deliver to your customers,
stay the same.
This formula goes out of balance, and
when it goes out of balance, perceived value decreases.
Now, I know I'm asking you to do mathematics right after lunch.
This is hard, so I'll make it easy for you.
All right, let's put some numbers in here, 100 for
experience, 100 for expectations,
we could see how we perceived value of one.
What happens when the expectations changed and
the experience doesn't?
Then we see the perceived value goes down.
This is happening everyday in every business.
This is why we call it the digital dilemma because
you have to design your business to constantly evolve
that experiences that you're delivering to the customers.
Because if you don't you're guaranteeing that they will get
decreased value over time.
The problem is that,
our businesses are not a designed to costantly change,
our businesses are actually designed evolve very slowly.
Many businesses are very conservative.
We have processes in place to ensure that employees do
things the right way.
They don't change things.
They're designed to evolve slowly.
In today's business climate, the experiences have to deliver
desired outcomes in order to create value.
Experiences start to shape expectations but it's the degree
to which they deliver an outcome that the customer values,
the changes of perception of value your customers have.
So if you connect the dots here,
you see that solving the digital dilemma.
Demands this fundamental shift in how a firms delivers value
and drives revenue.
This is what we call digital transformation,
because you are fundamentally changing the business.
Transformation, think about the caterpillar into a butterfly.
A transformation, a big change.
This isn't incremental.
This isn't just adding a website to your business or
adding a new mobile app.
This is about fundamentally re-thinking how
we create value for customers.
Now, I did some research looking at high performing companies,
high performing digital companies,
what we call digital predators.
And compare them to the digital items, and
we asked executives in these companies,
what are their number one success factors?
What are they measured on?
And in digital predators, we find that the number one success
factors are two things, they both came out of the top.
Being able to create new sources of value for customers and
being able to create world class customer experiences.
That was above revenue, above profit.
Yes, revenue and profit are important.
But they understand that we have to do these things first.
Because that's what drives revenue and profit.
They aren't customer obsessed companies.
So one of the things we see in companies, is this need to
change the culture to become customer obsessed.
What does it mean to be customer obsessed?
Understanding how to create value for the customer.
How do we create value for the customer?
What we have to understand that it's not just about building
better products and services.
Yes, we still need to deliver products and services but
have value to customers.
But we have to understand that when,
the way we design our business today, we have to design
the experiences that deliver the outcomes,
which satisfy the desires of our customers.
And if you understand that,
now we have to get to, how do we measure desires?
How do we know what our customers desires are?
What are their desired outcomes?
And it's interesting and I work with a lot of marketers.
And in marketing,
we've talked about satisfying customer needs for years.
It's easy to identify customer needs.
But the challenge is needs are not the same as desires.
How many people in this room drive a Prius?
Two?
I think it's count two.
I bought one for my daughter, by the way.
This is nothing against Prius.
So Prius, great car, very economical.
Well done, good sound choice sir.
Okay.
So, why don't we all drive a Prius?
I mean, it's one of the most economical cars on the road.
It's not that expensive, right?
It gets you from A to B pretty easily.
It has room for passengers and luggage.
We don't all drive the same car,
because emotion changes our choices.
Desire affects the car we drive, right?
And so we have to understand desires that the foundation of
every buying choice a customer makes.
It's an emotional choice.
In order to be able to connect with customers and
create value, we have to connect to their emotions.
We have to understand their desired outcome.
In a B2B business, we have to understand
the desired outcome of the company and
the employees inside that company and then B2B, that very
often means we're selling to more than one customer.
Is this person buying the product or service?
And is the person using the product or service?
And then we've got to look at their customers, and
what their customers are doing.
So let me put this in context,
we kind of all understand the agribusiness.
Farming, farming's been around for centuries.
Farmers, do farmers actually want to buy products like
farm machinery, like seeds, like fertilizer, like pesticides?
They don't want to buy those things.
But that's what companies have been selling them for years.
What they want, the outcome they desire, is high yield.
High yield per acre.
Agri companies are being understanding and
starting to see the value of data to deliver the outcome that
customer values, which is high yield.
Using data to help a farm understand the soil chemistry on
their farm, to understand how close to plant seeds,
to how much to fertilize, how much to irrigate,
understanding patterns of pest as they move across the country.
To be able to predict when to lay down pesticide.
All of these things can help a farmer increase high yield and
they have value to the farmer.
So, it changes the agribusiness, something that's been around for
centuries, relatively unchanged.
As we've looked at all these different companies and
organizations and industries to understand what's going on,
we've seen four clear, distinct patterns emerge.
So we call these things the new rules of business because I like
to keep things simple.
The new rules of business really state this,
you have to do these four things together, not one and
focus on one but do all four these things together.
So, digital experience.
Digital experience is really about delivering experiences
that are easy, effective and emotional.
When you look all the disruptive technologies,
the all the disruptive businesses.
They typically do a couple of things really, really well.
They give customers back,
the most valuable thing that you can give them, which is?
>> Time.
>> Time.
There's always somebody who gets it.
Time, right? It's the most
precious thing in the world.
We can never get more of it.
If you can give customers back time.
You're creating value almost immediately for them.
Somebody much wiser than me once said,
if you can figure out a way to give people time,
you'll print money.
Give them back time, but also make it easy, right?
Make it easy and enjoyable.
And that's really about what's at the heart of creating great
digital experiences.
You look at a company like Yorkshire Bank in the UK.
Yorkshire Bank, traditional retailer bank.
They understood that they had a very old kind of way of going
to market.
The traditional Come into our branch, apply for loans,
very traditional way of looking at things.
In order to think about their business differently,
they set up, essentially, a competitive bank.
They reinvested in the retail banking experience
to create a new online banking experience,
to build a bank around the customer and
what the particular things those customers wanted to do.
To simplify the transactions, to give customers back more time,
to build consistent experiences, but they
did it all on top their existing backend systems, because they
didn't have the money to go change their backend systems.
So they focused on creating great digital experiences.
Now one of the challenges in the financial services industry is
how do we change all those back-end systems,
cuz ultimately, they're probably gonna need to be changed.
Which gets you to digital operations,
which is the second rule.
Focus operations on the things customers value.
Now, we talk a lot about creating operational efficiency.
And there's enormous energy going into how to apply digital
into our operations in order to be able to extract value
to reduce cost.
Well we've been doing that for 30 years.
We can still do that and extract cost out of the business.
But when we do it in a way that also focuses on creating value
for customers, it changes the focus of how we do it.
Because we want to understand that we need to
create agility in the business.
The operations have to be designed to change very quickly.
Go back to the digital dilemma,
their expectations are constantly evolving.
So our experiences have to constantly evolve.
If we have to design our business to constantly change,
now we have to design our operations differently.
We'd have to design operations not just for efficiency.
We have to design operations for the speed at which they can
change and react to market changes.
So, we may need to invest in architecture that is actually
designed to support rapid change in the business, right?
So the way we look at operations is very different.
GE's been on this journey for a number of years.
They're in the news a lot this year, quite interestingly.
I was just at their event in San Francisco last week,
the Minds and Machines event.
GE's transformation's been going on now for five years, and
really sort of accelerated two or three years ago.
They've been doing these five steps to change their business,
and they started at looking at how do we change
our operational capabilities?
How do we understand how to use the technology to improve
the way we operate, and then how do we take that to customers and
help them do it?
Now interestingly,
this highlights another dilemma that's going on,
which is if you're a public company,
you only have a certain amount of time to be able to do this.
Now Jeff Immelt took billions of dollars of cost out of GE and
did not return it to shareholders.
He put it into investing and building up GE digital because
he knew that was the right thing to do for GE in the long term.
Ultimately, he didn't have the runway to be able to do that and
see it play out.
As you may know, he was asked to step down this year.
Whether that's the right strategy for GE,
will play out in the next two or three years, we'll see.
But fundamentally, what GE's being doing is saying,
we need to reinvent our business.
We need to change how we operate and create value for
customers in different ways.
And that shows how hard it is to do it in a big business
across the world and how much money it costs.
So, we see when we look at different industries
on how they are investing and
changing on what they called digital transformation.
We can see that we're still spending a lot of money on
the things that tend to touch customers, customer experiences
and relatively little on the operations of the business.
There's a lot of opportunity to still improve the operations
to create agility and service to customers, to change the way we
think about the business and to change how we operate.
A lot of investment is still focused around IT process.
If you look on this, you see supply chain stands out to me as
one that's enormously opportunistic for change.
And we're just starting to scratch the surface there.
In manufacturing, we're just starting to scratch the surface
on what's possible in changing manufacturing using technology.
And that gets me to the third rule which is
building out the digital ecosystem.
So you see companies looking at how to change their ecosystem,
how to partner with other companies.
So, for example, in retail,
retailers traditionally have figured out, okay, we need to
buy things, sell them in store, and we'll put them online,
we'll build a website, we'll create a mobile app.
But now we see retailers actually partnering with
companies like Amazon,
to help them sell through the Amazon channel.
So Amazon becomes an extension of their retail property.
Right, so they understanding that you don't have to do
everything yourself, you can partner with other companies.
You can partner with companies like Microsoft to help
build on the cloud.
So there's companies you partner with to help you do what you
need to do to create value for customers.
On the supply chain side, improving the way companies
modify their supply chain to react to changes in
the supply chain and be able to move much faster.
So they're part of the business ecosystem that creates value.
If you take a boring industry like energy production,
there's a lot of change going on in energy production.
But I highlight this example here,
not because it's a cool website.
Yes, they've got the ability to go pick a plan on a website,
that's great.
But these two energy plans on the left,
they have a Nest thermostat built in with them.
Now you may notice there's a higher rate per kilowatt hour.
But why do they have nest thermostat built in to them?
They have a Nest thermostat built in to
them because it allows this company to create value for
their customers in new ways.
So instead of just saying we'll just deliver you energy when
you want it.
They're now able to say we'll work with Nest, to partner with
them, to make sure that we manage your energy so
that you don't need to put as much demand on the grid.
And we can return the energy saved to you in a rebate called
rush-hour rewards.
So what happens in a typical environment?
When you get a heat wave,
you see a graph something like one on the upper right there.
Which basically is, all the air conditioners turn on at
once because the room's got too hot, and they all try and
cool it down to a temperature.
And this puts enormous load on the grid and
energy providers have to produce what's called peak energy.
Peak energy's very expensive for them to produce,
it's above their normal load.
If you can smooth out that demand by cycling the AC units
on and off, which you can do because Nest is able to do that.
You don't notice a difference in the room.
The room ambient temperature remains the same, but
the demand is spread out on the system.
You produce less peak energy and you're able to produce
much better value for the entire ecosystem.
And you create value for customers in new ways.
Interest, I don't if you knows it was in the news last week I
think it was, Germany now has so much energy produced from wind.
There was a period last week the price of energy,
price of electricity was negative.
They were paying people to take energy off the grid.
Why?
Because the converse is true,
peak energy is very expensive to produce.
Shutting power down is very expensive to do as well, right?
So it's actually more efficient for the energy companies
to pay people to take energy than it was for
winding down the power production.
Because there was so much wind energy being produced, right?
Crazy world we live in.
So you've got digital experience, digital operations,
digital ecosystems, the ability to create value
through the ecosystem, and you have innovation to be able to
innovate at the intersection of experiences and operations.
This is where all the real value can be unlocked,
this intersection between customer experiences and
customer operations.
And so when you think about it, this intersection between
the customer and how the customer is touching our company
today and all the operations that sit behind it, there is so
much opportunity to create innovation.
We estimate that about 20% of the spend is on the customer
ecosystem and the 80% of the potential to unlock is actually
on the operational side of the business.
And yet when you think about digital transformation and
how many people look at it,
they focus almost entirely on the digital experience.
But there's so much to unlock in the operations.
And you have to be able to innovate inside this digital
ecosystem.
So when you think about the digital ecosystem,
it's not just the ecosystem of your business.
But every customer you have, has their own ecosystem.
If you sign to a company, that company has a digital ecosystem.
How many of us have exactly the same apps on our phone?
None of us, right.
We all have different apps, why?
Because we all choose the apps that have value to us.
And if you're like me,
you have way more apps than you use, right.
So all the apps you use are on that front screen, all right.
And all the other ones, like the other 400 are somewhere behind
and you go find them occasionally.
That's your ecosystem of value, right.
You selected your own digital ecosystem,
the things that create value for you.
They help you get to an outcome.
You only use an app when it helps you get to an outcome.
There are many great apps on your phone, you look at and
go, that's cool, but you don't use it, why?
Cuz it doesn't help you get to an outcome you value.
A cool app can be great.
You can have a great experience.
But if it doesn't deliver an outcome that you value,
nobody's gonna use it, right?
You have to focus on the outcome of the customer's value.
So when you're thinking about your customers and
the outcomes they value.
You have to think about the desired outcomes,
you have to think about their digital ecosystem.
One of the things that you
need to do in market research when you're looking at customers
is find out what their digital ecosystem looks like.
What are the apps they use?
Why do they use them?
How do they use them?
Because they all help them get to an outcome they value.
If we wanna understand the outcomes they value,
we have to understand how they get there.
Cuz therein lies the potential for us to unlock value for them.
To unlock that ability to help them get to that outcome
in a new way.
Think of the farmer.
There's a great line in sales training.
I always remember when I went to various forms of sales
training with my career.
And at one point new sales people sometimes get asked
to sell something.
And there's this whole thing about, you're bringing yourself
a person and it's okay well here's an electric drill.
Sell me this drill.
And the new sales people will come on and
they'll talk all about the features and
benefits of the drill.
How, it's got variable speed and
the chuck's easy to use and all this.
Pretty good.
And then experienced sales person will come on and they'll
talk about what a beautiful hole this drill allows you to get.
How smooth the edges are.
How it goes to just the right depth.
Why?
Because you're not buying the drill because you wanna
own the drill.
You're buying the drill because you want the hole, right?
You have to think about what is the hole your customers want.
What's the outcome they want, right.
Whenever we buy products,
it's not because we wanna own the product,
it's because we want the outcome.
Some of us buy a car, not because we want the most fuel
economy, but because we're just passionate about autocross and
that's what we do every weekend.
Okay, so now you know my hobby.
But, I couldn't drive a Prius at autocross.
It's a great car. I bought one for my daughter.
But it's not a great autocross car.
It just doesn't quite have the same performance.
I'm sorry.
So you have to think about the outcome the customer wants.
And you have to incubate these emerging technologies.
So you have an example here of Lowe's using HoloLens to do
kitchen design.
Well, why do this, because it's not at a point where it can
be scaled across all stores yet?
Well they do this because if they start now and understand
how to use the technology, how to create volume,
work with customers to co-design, co-develop.
They have now got the ability
to accelerate that when the technology's ready.
When the technology is ready for
them to be able to scale that out across multiple stores, and
create value for customers in new ways, they have that DNA.
They have the understanding about how to scale it.
So we have to understand how to build that DNA in our companies.
To experiment, to create that culture of innovation.
And so this focus on rapid experimentation becomes
really critical.
So this is an example of Capital One is The Garage.
Capital One recognized that they had built it to create value for
customers around car insurance and
car loans to help their design team understand and
get in the mind of the customer, they built the garage.
For their design team to work in that environment, to
constantly think about what is the outcome my customer wants?
And to be able to bring customers in and co-design,
co-develop.
And it works, the products that came out of this drove
revenue well above beyond what they'd previously experienced.
So there are lots of things we can learn by looking
at existing companies.
So I wanna give you six strategies to create
an innovative culture because innovation is at the heart
of being able to drive revenue in the future.
We have to think about
changing the culture of our organizations.
To be highly innovative, highly creative.
So number one we've touched on,
embrace holistic experiences that transcend touchpoints.
Now when you think about this,
it's not about just improving one experience.
It's about an understanding the entire customer journey.
Think about it from the customer's perspective,
the outcome they wanna get to,
when is it they know that they wanna get to that outcome and
all the things they do to get to the outcome.
And it's probably well beyond the experience they have with
your company.
There are other companies they get involved with before and
after or alongside.
And you have to understand their entire experience.
Your customers are now empowered, as you know.
And they expect personalized experiences tailored
to their moment of need.
In other words, when I'm at the gate in an airport
to board a plane, I expect, when I pull out my phone,
that it will load up my mobile ticket.
And I don't have to go find the app and
find out where the ticket is.
It knows where I am.
It knows what flight I'm going on and
it knows it's boarding time.
This isn't rocket science guys, give me my boarding pass, right?
This is kinda how you have to think,
you have to get in the mind of the customer.
Create the experience in the moment of need.
In order to be able to do this, we have to understand all
the touch points on the customer journey.
And we have to look at all the underlying components that sit
behind it.
We can't just focus on the touchpoint
because very often what will happen, and
we've all seen this, you develop a new digital experience and
then you find out the experience is great, but
something seems lacking behind it.
If you go off the typical path, the customers might go on.
You suddenly find that everything else seems
to fall apart.
Anybody have that experience where you're doing fine then you
do something that's out of the ordinary.
And now all of a sudden the company's like,
your experience just goes, nosedives.
There's nothing there to support it.
You have to look at all of the things in the backend to
make sure the experience sustains itself.
And you have to understand that we create these dynamic
experiences, right.
So if you think about the car example, I apologize I'm a bit
of a car nut so I have a lot of car examples in my talk.
So think about through this outcome,
the desire to easily move from place to place.
And these are maybe a collection of apps that you have
that will help you get to this outcome, right?
So some of you may have some of these apps,
some of you may have other apps.
But you have some apps that will help you get to the outcome
you value.
You have to understand what's going on with your customers.
What is their ecosystem and
build their ecosystem around the desired outcome.
And you have to remember,
as you build the personas around desired outcomes,
if you think about it, this is an cones, not on a race track.
It's around cones.
Stay safe.
[LAUGH] But think about it, the desires evolve, right?
You think about as you get older,
I put some broad categories on here,
as you get older your desires evolve, right, they change.
I can see some of you are chuckling at sort of the as you
get older.
Those of you who've gone past the crisis stage and
pass the grandchildren to freedom.
They will understand as I am saying here.
[LAUGH] So you have to understand where the customer is
in their lifecycle right?
And not just the customer lifecycle as you classically
think about it.
But where are they on their life journey right?
And the people inside those B to B companies we're selling to,
those are people.
Where are they on their life journey?
What's important to them?
How are they being measured?
What does success look like for them?
What's the outcome they most value?
And to get there, we have to become insights driven.
We've heard a lot about using data insights today.
You have to become insight driven.
So we have to learn how to use technology better
to create insights that help us create value.
So let me give you an example of the perfect healthcare app.
Right, so the little pill on the left here is a digital pill.
Hopefully, you've all seen this before.
Cuz this pill's been out for years.
I've been talking about this for years.
But in case you haven't, this pill, so
the little dot on top of the pill is a chip.
It's smaller than the size of a grain of sand.
Now, why would you put a chip on a pill?
Well, when you swallow this pill,
the acid in your stomach acts like battery acid.
Powers the chip.
And it sends the signal to the patch that you're wearing on
the outside.
And it records when you've taken the pill.
Now, why would you do that?
Well, medication is only effective when it's taken.
Some medication you may be appalled to learn, tens of
thousands of dollars per pill and so if you're an insurance
company, you wanna make sure the patient is taking the pill if
they're paying for it because you want them to get better.
And if you're a doctor because you want your patient to get
better, you want to make sure the patient is taking the pill.
There is huge value and actually being able to insure that
patients taking the pill when they should.
Because it helps them get to the outcome which is getting better.
Right, okay, you're with me so far.
So, come with me on this journey.
You can take a pill that sends data onto the outside, right?
How far are we away from being able to swallow a pill
that gives you a complete body chemistry breakdown?
That sends all that data to your app.
The ultimate healthcare app.
Remember when I said this is the ultimate healthcare app?
It's called Days Left To Live.
>> [LAUGH] >> You pull the app out,
it tells you how many days you have left to live.
>> [LAUGH] >> Why is this the ultimate
healthcare app?
Okay, so you go out on town and
you have a few drinks with your buddies.
You eat too much pizza and you wake up the next day and
you pull out your app.
And your days left to live has gone, ugh.
Okay, I'm going to go to the gym.
Right, so I go work out at the gym.
I go for a run everyday.
I'm diligent about it.
And a month later my days left to live has not only gone back
to where it was, it's gone passed it.
What have I done?
I've created a feedback loop.
I've created a feedback loop to change the one thing that we can
do that has more impact on our health than anything else,
any medication or anything else.
The one thing that will have more impact on our health than
anything else is what we do to our bodies, right?
And if we provide the health data to tell us what we're
doing to our bodies, we can change the dynamic.
The simple fact is days after live I call it the ultimate
healthcare because it's a feedback loop, and
it's the one thing that we most value.
Think about it, time.
Most valuable thing you can have.
The ultimate representation of time is how many days we
have left to live.
All right.
And if we can give ourselves more time back,
that has huge value.
Now, I've done this speech a number of times and
you can imagine, and
I sat with healthcare professionals afterward.
And more than one of them has come to me and
said we've gotta build that.
[LAUGH] So somebody somewhere will think about how to do this.
But you do this through analytics, right?
You gather the data to gain insights
to help somebody make better decisions.
And that's what the ultimate health care app would be.
Would help us all make better decisions.
And you could scale right?
With artificial intelligence, you can scale.
We saw earlier a little clip of Rolls Royce.
Rolls Royce has been doing this for years, putting sensors into
engines, and pulling data off those engines.
And actually using that data to do predictive analytics
to figure out this engine is behaving differently this flight
then it did the last flight.
And something's wrong, what's wrong,
let's figure how to change that and so
we need to preposition pass at the airport so that we can get
the engine change service and back up into the air.
Changes the aircraft industry because airlines don't really
want to own the engine what they want
is hours of proportion cuz they don't get paid when the aircraft
is sitting on the ground.
Well, they get paid by the hours flying.
And really, airlines are quite happy to pay for
hours in use as opposed to owning the engine.
So, learn how to scale experiences,
create insights through AI and machine learning.
Number 3, is invest in business agility.
So I talked about the need to constantly change and
evolve our business.
Agility is much more than just our business.
It's about thinking about how we connect
to other companies differently as well.
So we have this shift from from this sort of thinking about
a linear value chain.
The linear value chain's evolving to much more of a sort
of nimble API enabled ecosystem where we're able to connect to
other companies that can help create value for a particular
set of customers and quickly change to the right supplier,
the right company, the right partner to create value for
a particular set of customers.
This ability to dynamically change the ecosystem
according to what's going on in the market is much more
significant than thinking about it as a linear value chain to
think about that ecosystem interconnects to create value.
And today's customer experience really demands its adaptable
infrastructure.
We have to understand that the experience we have
connects to all these things that sit beneath it.
And some of those things are not going to be inside our company.
They're gonna be delivered by partners, by ecosystem partners,
by other companies that are helping to create value toward
that outcome.
Think about the next example, the energy companies
partnering with NIST to create an outcome for
the customer, not just doing it on their own.
But to be able to do all these things,
we need to be able to invest, right?
We can't just plow a whole bunch of money into the company and
not be able to get that money from somewhere else.
In order to trait the agility,
we have to look at where we can stop doing something.
And part of that is looking at the what differentiates
the company and what doesn't?
Evey businesses in here has a set of capabilities that allow
you to bring values to your customer.
What we have to understand is what are those capabilities that
really differentiate the company in the mind of the customer?
Why do they buy from us and not somebody else?
Those are your strategic differentiating capabilities.
Focus on those.
Now, the good news and the bad news is that 90% of the other
capabilities you have, they're generic.
You share those in common with every other company in
the industry.
Company customers are not buying from me because of those
capabilities.
And you have the opportunity to radically simplify them.
And when you simplify them,
you can remove cost from the business in many ways.
One, because you can simplify the process and
create more agile processes.
Two, because you can actually change the technology
that sits underneath those capabilities.
To apply standard off the shelf software which isn't customized.
How many of you have customized off the shelf software?
Only two of you.
How many of you have software that's developed in house?
One of you.
Okay so all the rest of you are running completely vanilla
software, no changes.
I don't believe you.
[LAUGH] I've seen this happen.
So let's say you have a staff turnover of 10%.
Any sizeable organization,
you have maybe 100 managers you bring in to the company a year.
Maybe it's 1,000, maybe it's 10,000,
depending on how big your company it is.
Every single one of those managers that you hire,
did they come into your company thinking, well,
I was hired because everything's going okay,
I've just gotta leave it all as is, not touch anything,
don't change a thing, I'll just keep things going.
Or do they come in because they think, I've been hired for
my skills and talent,
you've hired me because you want me to come in and change things.
So I'm gonna set about changing things and making them better.
I think it's the latter.
And what happens when they start to change things?
Well let's change the process, change the people or
the technology.
Well, if they change the people, those people have got their
own ideas about what to change when they come in, right?
And then you're left with changing the process
and the technology.
And all those process and technology changes, where do
they all end up? In IT, and
they're asked to go change the software,
tweak it, change the process. And all of those changes ripple
through the entire organization. And
what you end up with is this massive complexity of
technology architecture that is very slow to change,
very expensive to change. And then everybody in
the company complains that IT's so slow, so expensive.
I can't figure it out why.
You have to look at what's going on inside of the organization to
understand why.
So simplify, and thereby create agility, and
take cost out of the business.
Redesign the organization from silo to connected.
So when you think about organization design,
we have these sort of siloed organizations.
What we're seeing in many of the more progressive,
more digitally savvy organizations is this shift from
siloed to much more of this cluster approach, right?
To take a cluster of skills and have them tackle a persona, or
a particular customer journey, or
a particular customer outcome, and work toward that.
When you do this, though,
you've got to think about how we measure employees.
Because part of what we're doing
is changing the culture to become more innovative.
The metrics that we use signal
to employees what's important to us.
So I did this study.
We asked sort of executives across companies,
what were their KPIs?
And on this chart,
the dark gray at the top is the business unit leaders.
The next one down is marketing, marketing leaders.
And then the next one down is technology leaders.
And so you have this variation.
To help understand what the variation looks like,
I drew a line between the top of each of these.
Now if you just remove the data and just sort of see this for
what it is, really this is like a noise chart.
In most organizations what you want is this nice,
smooth line between the business units, the marketing teams, and
the technology teams.
Everybody would be focused on the same kind of thing.
In most organizations what you have is a chart that looks like
a noise graphic that's like, my God,
look at all this noise that's in the organization.
Because now we're asking people to work in these same teams and
we're measuring them on completely different things.
And guess what, when they sit in the team and
try to figure out what the solution is,
if we're measuring them on different things,
they're gonna come to different conclusions, right?
And therein create friction inside the organization.
If you wanna move friction out of the organization and
create agility, you have to smooth out the metrics.
You have to have everybody working in the same direction.
Which gets me to the last one which is fueling this
customer-led innovation.
Being able to incubate emerging technologies,
like the example I showed you with Lowes.
Understanding how to use these emerging technologies,
test and learn.
And focus on sort of rapid experimentation,
this is an example of Rebecca Minkoff in New York,
building a digital dressing room.
Right, understanding how to use a technology
to create a better experience.
The last rule I want to leave you with,
is one I call avoiding the pit of doom.
The reason why I say avoiding the pit of doom is when i
started you in this presentation,
I used to have this analogy to the Lord of the Rings.
And when Gollum falls into the crater at the end, so
that's the pit of doom.
So how do you avoid that?
And really it's about delivering outcomes.
Now this is a cautionary tale because,
Remember I had this example of opening the hotel room door?
So the first time I did this a few years ago, I went out for
dinner with some clients.
And I got back to the hotel room.
It was kind of late.
And I needed to use the bathroom.
I thought okay, well, I'll just go in the hotel room, as you do.
And so I get to my hotel room, take out my phone,
press the button, and nothing happens.
Wow, damn.
Now, you've all been here, right?
I'm sure you all understand the discomfort I was
in at this point.
So I get out my hotel room key, I don't have one on me.
I get out my plastic key, cuz I got
a plastic key when I checked in.
And I try that in the door.
It doesn't work.
Now I'm starting to really feel uncomfortable.
So I take care of things, I go down to the lobby.
I find the restroom, take care of that.
And I go to the reception.
And I say, my key's not working.
So they said to me, they look at me and
went, are you on the hotel Wi-Fi?
No.
Well, it only works if you're on the hotel Wi-Fi.
So now we have a great experience that is only capable
of working if it's predicated on being connected to the hotel
Wi-Fi.
And did we design the hotel Wi-Fi to automatically connect
to the phone when you come back to the hotel?
No we did not, cuz nobody told us in the operations side that
we had to do that.
And why isn't my plastic key working?
Well, because it's policy.
If you have the digital key, we disable your plastic key for
security reasons.
>> [LAUGH] >> Did anybody ask me if I
wanted my plastic key disabled?
No, but it seemed like a good idea at the time, I'm sure.
So we have to think about the operational side of
the business and
is it in tune with the digital experience we're creating?
This is why at some point I think about the operations
side of the business.
The ecosystem that we create delivers the outcomes.
So we have to focus on the four rules of business and
these six guidelines to build strategies that create value
that help deliver the outcomes that customers value.
When you do this, right, so think about these six things,
you can develop your digital DNA to design the experiences that
deliver the outcomes that satisfy your customer's desires.
Thank you.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> That was fabulous.
>> We're gonna take some questions.
>> We are, I've never had a presentation where someone
talked about Gollum before.
>> [LAUGH] That's what you got from this?
[CROSSTALK] >> I got the pit of
doom and Gollum.
>> [LAUGH] >> Anyway,
we have two mic runners, Brenda and Laurie.
Brenda, Brenda's here.
And Laurie's here.
Does anyone have a question for Nigel, cuz I do.
Nigel told me and
gave me a long list of questions he didn't like to be asked.
So I have those ready to go.
Okay, in the front here, Brenda.
>> From Hal Estate, all right.
>> Go ahead, sir.
>> Yes, so, I'm in the healthcare segment,
in medical devices.
I'm curious, I experienced and I'm in a Fortune 500
corporation and, highly matrixed, multiple divisions.
And we have the challenge of connecting all those dots and
trying to get people out of their silos.
So, what do you believe is the major disruptive change
that is going to enable the silos to come down in the next
five to ten years beyond trying to push digital and
have people be more aware that this can happen?
Because things do move slowly.
And as you said, or to paraphrase, you have spaghetti
code, so to speak, where resources and efforts gets put
in the wrong places and has that long stream, down stream impact.
>> Right, so great question.
So I'm trying to put this in the right context, so
the challenge in a large organization,
you obviously have these big silos and
how do you move without the burning platform?
It's kind of what you're saying, if there's no burning platform.
Clearly, if there's a burning platform,
you get people's attention.
Where you don't have the burning platform,
it's slightly harder and we see a number of efforts that
go to what we describe as digital bolt on.
So you add these digital capabilities to the existing
business to prove the potential for change.
To then accelerate the understanding
inside the leadership, cuz it's really down to the leadership.
You can never get the transformation we're talking
about without the CEO.
The CEO is the most important factor
in driving transformation, as you at Microsoft know, right?
So unless the CEO understands, A, the potential for change and
B, how to create that ambition to get to where you need to,
empower the employees to make the change,
you won't accelerate fast enough.
So if you don't have a CEO that's there yet,
there are some things you can do like create these bolt on
projects that demonstrate the capability.
Some companies will try to take their executive team on what's
called a digital safari.
Where they will take the executive team to
Silicone Valley and they will go around lots of startups and
show what's going on to show them potential and
hopefully scare them a little bit, right, in terms of saying,
okay, we need to change.
But you have to have the awareness to change.
And then, dealing with a spaghetti code
in a regulated industry, it's much harder, obviously.
But dealing with that code is something that is the technology
that we've talked about for
years, it will have to get paid back at some point.
Some companies are learning to try and forget how to do that by
extracting savings out of the business and re-doing it.
Other companies are still scratching their heads thinking
we don't know what to do with that, we'll just build all these
APIs and just keep all of that stuff there and not touch it.
And that would work for awhile, don't know how long, but
it will work for awhile.
I don't know if that answers your question.
>> There's a whole issue in our culture and culture change,
especially coming from the top.
Someone once asked me, they were in a company, they knew they
needed to change, the CEO didn't believe in change.
They asked what recommendation I had for them.
I said, go to a different company.
>> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] It's often my advice,
too.
>> [LAUGH] Yeah, any other questions?
Yes.
Laurie if you can zip down, someone in the front.
Thank you.
>> Hi, I work for a wholesaler of novelties, party supplies,
and balloons.
And most of our customers are either entertainers, clowns,
twisters or decorators who are delivering these experiences to
their customers.
And you mentioned earlier how B2B companies have to
balance between multiple different experiences.
So how would you recommend balancing the considerations
of what experiences we're delivering to our customers?
And how to help them deliver better experiences.
>> I would always focus on their customers,
because you want stuff removed from their consumer, right?
So, what are your customers trying to deliver in terms
of an outcome?
As they can deliver that outcome equates mainly for
their customers, they can be more successful.
So how can we help our customers deliver that outcome better,
to create a better outcome for that customers?
When you can create value for your customers by helping them
deliver the value to their customers, you help them grow.
When you help them grow, they stay all clear.
So, understand the outcome they try to create,
understand how to help them get to that outcome.
And that will help you accelerate your growth.
Does that make sense?
>> I love that question.
Often people say their customers are clowns, and
in your case your customers are actually clowns.
>> [LAUGH]. >> It's so awesome [LAUGH].
To a certain extent what job are they hiring your products to do
right, which is to deliver joy.
All right, so how else can you help them deliver joy?
I think it would be an interesting way to
investigate that and find out more.
Another question for Nigel?
Okay, let me ask you a question just while we're waiting.
Someone else may have a thought while we're talking.
The thing that fascinates me the most about this whole category
is that if you go into a company and
you talk about digital transformation,
everyone has a different definition.
>> Yes. >> Right?.
So I know you work with a lot of different companies so you've
got a very broad portfolio across many industries.
How do you coach that up?
How do you talk about trying to get at least a common definition
of what DT means inside a company.
Can you share an experience with that?
>> Well, so, funnily enough,
I will get hired by somebody in the company to come in and say,
can you give our executive branch what is our transmission.
>> Perfect. >> Right, so, and
we do our sessions, not so much this,
with the executive team to help ground set, to level set.
What are we talking about here?
And used to be five years ago, okay,
digital transformation isn't social media.
Five years ago, wow, social media, no it's not social media.
>> We got an app, right?
We got an app.
>> It was like we got an app or what science is like.
And once you can show people sort of pulling
back the curtain to see the bigger picture, right?
So what's behind the curtain.
The Wizard of Oz, right?
It's understanding that there's a lot more
going on which is why I loved the demonstrations this morning.
Because a lot of sessions the I go into,
you hear all the right words- >> Right.
>> But you don't see people doing it.
>> Right. >> Right?
>> Right.
>> And what I loved about
this morning was, you see what's going on behind the curtain.
This is an example of what we're doing with customers.
And they love companies that can do that,
that show here's what we're doing with customers.
Because that's what the executive team needs to see.
When I talk about going on a digital safari, they're taking
the executives to show them here's what's possible.
One of the questions that I get asked a lot is what
are the other companies in my industry doing?
And my answer's that's the wrong question, right?
Because you have to understand,
what are companies in other industries doing?
>> Right.
>> And how can I apply what they're doing to my industry?
Cuz that's how you're gonna make some breakthrough innovation.
Not by copying whoever's in front of you.
But by understanding the outcome the customer's trying to get to.
How can I learn from another industry to deliver the outcome
a different way, because there in we can create value in
a new way for customers, we create value in new ways,
new sources of value, we drive revenue.
>> Right, because if you're a traditional thermostat company,
would you have really woken up in the morning and think,
I'm gonna be competing with Google one day.
That.
>> Right.
>> The next product.
>> Right, right, right.
>> Just wouldn't be the way you'd think about it.
That's very interesting.
>> But if you think about
what's the outcome the homeowner wants to get to?
>> Yeah. >> And so, well,
the outcome the homeowner wants to get to, well,
is it to own a thermostat? No.
>> Comfortable temperatures.
>> Comfortable home, right?
>> Right. >> Maybe a comfortable safe
environment to raise a family.
>> Right.
>> That opens up a whole host of opportunities.
>> Right, right. >> RIght?
In terms of how we can help customers get there.
>> The thing I found shocking with that Otis Presentation was,
there was a comment he made near the end that some of
the elevators they're servicing today are a hundred,
that just blew my mind.
I just.
>> I'm working on my gut,
I'm getting to an elevator that's a hundred years old.
>> I want an app that tells me which of those
elevators is 100 years old.
All right, any other questions?
We got time for one more.
Buckeye State again, here.
Go ahead, sir.
>> Sure, so putting a financial side to this.
What is reality today for let's say a company at moderate buy
in to all in buy in, on the time it takes to do
this and before you see an ROI and what do anticipate five and
ten years from now, that curve is gonna look like?
>> That's a really good question.
So, it does depend on the size of the company.
Let's say it's a $10 billion company,
several thousand employees, for start,
they're doing projects towards to get to the outcome, right?
So you got a vision of where you're gonna get to.
You have to be able to create capabilities
along the way to get to that.
Each of those has to be able to create a return,
not necessarily a positive ROI, but a return you can see
potential down the road in order to be able to get there.
The how long it takes?
Forever.
>> [LAUGH] >> This is a journey,
it's not a destination, right?
So we're changing our business to constantly change.
You had in the slides this morning,
this is a transmission's a journey.
A lot of people still look at this like this is a project.
This is not a project.
>> Right.
>> This is a journey in terms of changing the way we operate,
changing our business, you never get there.
You have to change how you fund investments.
So you see changes in way people invest and instead of
investing in projects, they're now investing in outcomes, and
continuously investing in changing toward that outcome.
So we have project management in IT, instead of project
management, because we're changing the governance model.
We're changing the way you budget in a business.
And the strategy is changing as well.
The strategy has been changing for
years, moving from annual strategies or
three year strategic plans to a quarterly review.
>> Yeah, we're in a quarterly rhythm inside Microsoft
now, yeah.
And Justin talked about the fourth industrial revolution,
and we're at the beginning of an industrial revolution.
When do you finish, we're gonna multi year, multi generational.
>> Well, think about the first industrial revolution, right?
You tend of think of it what just happened over night?
It was 80 years.
>> Yes, absolutely.
>> Some people say it's longer than that.
If you were just in that first part of that industrial
revolution, you'd be sitting there saying, okay,
well, what's the answer?
Well, actually,
you don't know because we haven't played it out yet.
>> Right.
>> In ten years time we'll look back on where we are at today
and think that was like my God,
they had no idea what they were doing, right?
That's part of the challenge is that we're just at the start of
this journey and it's going to go on for awhile and
the thing is its accelerating so fast, right?
We've all seen the exponential curves, right?
The speed of change of technology.
But, we just better get used to change.
Because today, the speed of change is slow,
relative to what it's going to be in two years time.
>> Well, humans feed off each other.
And as it's easier for us to communicate,
we are feeding off each other more and
things are just continuing to speed up.
So speaking of speeding up, we are out of time,
and this was awesome.
I had a great session.
Thanks to Nigel.
Let's give him a round of applause.
>> Thank you, thank you very much, thanks.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Hold on a second,
and I must say one of the things that I always enjoy about these
presentations, and just as a presenter inside baseball thing
is we get to wear a makeup and so and
I wanted to say you look lovely.
>> [LAUGH] >> And.
>> Well I've never had anybody say that on stage before.
>> [CROSSTALK] Anyway everyone there's a quick break now.
And at 2:30 going to industry session.
So thank you very much.
Thanks for the time.
>> Thank you.

For me, nay.
In general, yay.
It depends.
It's a good time for shower sex.
On the level of

are looking for businesses like yours for example searching for what to do on
holiday you can target a customer who is searching physically close to your
location and you can even target around a radius on a point on a map, a country,
city, region, or even postcode. Ads appear like this on Google Maps on desktop and
they appear like this on mobile devices it's worth noting here that space is at
a premium on mobile devices so it's worth making sure at the top of the page
by using ads. So ads are great for raising awareness at that research stage
as these ads show in the search results as well as on maps they link to your
Google My Business listing so make sure that's up-to-date and the listing is a
hundred percent complete so on mobile these ads can also have clicked call or
make a booking links which is great if you're a restaurant and of course you
can measure all of these conversions as goals you can also get directions and it
shows how far away you are from the business so if you have a physical shop
the local inventory ads can help drive in-store sales
shopping ads will show if you have the product the user is searching for in
stock and where your store is relative to their location so maps are really
good for raising awareness of your business locations they can be great for
driving action on mobile devices especially when using local inventory
ads so you can raise awareness and influence for people who are considering
buying locally you can drive action when people are looking for what you offer at
the exact moment and remember it's always about reaching customers when it
matters I'm working with a Google Partner can save you both time and money

♥ Like + Comment + 2 shares helps channel!
I've gathered you for a mission of utmost importance so vital that the future of the Academy relies on nothing short of
Absolute success. I this time your foe is different, but no less formidable. It is the basement pipes
They are being attacked by a vicious clog of beard you heard the man up on your feet people. We've got plumbing to do
Plumbing is that right I know this being there anyway go
Bad guys every second of every day we provide many essential services to Skylands great and small and sometimes that means
money-saving plumping missions, and that still sounds weird
Huh also do you have a mouse for breakfast? Do you have any idea how pungent those things are they big?
They smell worse on the way out by the way move
Okay what we have here is a category eight o'clock
Haven't seen one of these since the great back hair crisis of all six this thing blows all the Academy's Oh awesome
So what is it jet back?
I'll tell you as soon as I think of it cheapy all due respect
But I I don't have much time to think this through as opposed to what?
Expats relax first when I have a proper plan in place which I have already if you weren't interrupting guys
This is about to get ugly. Oh, you ain't kidding that pipes ready to blow I do
show
The tips of the disappearances when I thought of what you were considering your plans which I'm sure would have worked too
So crisis averted before 11:00 brunch anyone
But you never come to my lair - what do I you?
I don't want to spend any more time down here that I have to so let me just say what I have to and
Actually mother you are the reason I'm putting together this little presentation
I want to show the core of light that I found locked away. It's Skylanders Academy, but now it won't project out
Why isn't my head working question? I've asked myself since you're a small boy
What get a real job and start paying rent like today, or I'm kicking you out yeah?
That's what I came down here to tell you have a great day
With me I kept bidding piling up, and you're the troll to do it don't worry gloomy
Oh fix this as soon as I can so I can get back to destroying the
Skylanders and harassing on his way of doing that the important thing is I saved the world today
Uh you unclog the pipe

You're welcome rogue on that pipe today your rebellious impulsive nature needs to be tamed
And I'm just the bird to do sure yeah great good
Here's the bathroom obviously Oh
And over there aspires room Spyros will hey well, let's get a good like right now, and what a dump?
Please thank you
Would you say dump? I call them like I see em Spyro no wonder. You don't play by the rules
You're equals poor spinal alignment poor alignment equals a poor attitude a poor attitude equals poor Skylander Inge and this
Video games these things make you lazy no
Experience on your application 300 years for
And since then I've stayed plenty busy trying to annihilate all Skylanders mmm-hmm, man. Where do you see yourself in five years?
Supreme overlord of darkness and destroying anyone who gets in my way you're legally required 10-minute break
Hello I'm hey gizzard eat me
Really well
then
Don't eat a gizzard or something I would like a gizzard. I would like a whole bucket of good job. It's horrible
Be strong just try and go to the happy place in your mind
You know your memories of all the fun we have together like when you clip my toenails
And I'll be back as soon as I can
Looks like we have a few more hours to catch up man
So tell me more about your days and the thief closings couldn't recognize me in this getup that means no one else will either
and that gives me a
brilliantly evil idea
Space so the plan is we're gonna live in a sewer
Forever well I was just gonna hide in the sewer until jet-vac retired, but I think I like your idea better
Seriously, how old do you go?
Thing we have to do the charges page one well now the owner of a supercharger
Yes my favorite stations are priests in the
Spiral why are you stop it? Do the job for you, but well someone had to our team for the win
So how'd you get held up fight with chaos on the way here
so
Jetpack, what happened at the falling forest today turns out nothing per your request it was safe and burning to the ground by kabuemon snapshot
Huh didn't feel that long was a real page-turner
Alrighty, then now back to the task at hand
Lunch do I start with the business come to me? I didn't see that coming
Did you and now I have your food you know why because I didn't plan it. I just did it
What are you getting at sir I was?
Your righty honor yes
I've been riding Spyros tail pretty hard at rue Skylander trusts their instincts as much as their training jet-vac
Spyro does this very well me Hugo
Hello, master eons assistant. Enjoying your gizzard. Well. I was just about to dig in
Right that sounds like a swell idea. Let's go there now
After you
Nervous I've seen that kind of behavior burn way too many Skylanders whoa. What do you mean? Oh?
I was just like you once son talented cocky those in an epic moment of heroism
There was a widow an orphanage a huge fire. They even wrote a song about it
Look. I just want you to know a track record of doing things the right way
But I I think you'll find that my way can be effective - you oughtta, try it sometime. Maybe I will
But I probably will
Some coupons huh cuz he didn't realize there were Skylanders here honest mistake well not that honest since okay fine
But before we leave you totally alone with hypnotized Hugo
So you can go into the relic room and do whatever you want do the loser dance?
To the core
Yes
Would you believe now? Oh what without planning it? I I think I did that felt good, right?
How should we handle this trespassing swerve, don't yep?
We made real progress today, and I even followed every order jet vet gave during the fight
And I made a few impulsive moves of my own
Remember when I kicked lessard guts weaponized lizard guts pal hoo
Gizzards the face some in the eyes a little got her mouth. I may never get that smell out of my nostrils well
I got a real job
I worked all day and I got pummeled in Skylanders be a productive member of society
Instead of a guy who basically still lives at home in his mom's basement well mother when you put it like that
It's way more fun equipped to take on Richard the third man up so she was mocking your theater days again
How come he never never gets old for her sir you poor troll?
As I was saying this lesson is about focus now as a reward for your tardiness skull you and hex get
to go first
Oh, I sprained my sphenoid
Alrighty class
No, my report is about a certain feathered Skylander ets well. Let's see that one first wait
No, what don't even need to you get an anger and his name is skull
My name is also skull if you're thinking to yourself. Hey the future Skylander
That skull is referring to is himself then hooray
I'm afraid if you changed the subject of the report from me to you, aka
Somebody who's definitely not a Skylander well then I have no choice, but to give you an F
Now to gracefully slip away from these doom readers without these idiots being any the wiser
It'll be like I was okay stopping the mone my friend
What we doing
We never gonna let you go who found out I couldn't find the location of your mom's
Castle so now to massage your ego, and keep stringing you along until she does find Cassandra
She's planning a put in this context. I think it's like a party with jokes
hmm this is
Perfect while everyone's distracted eating mini hot dogs and making typical parties. What is up with those things?
There's an interdimensional travel for a glorified disco or make up your mind
Cassandra as I whereas my comedic alter-ego the unknown control
Yet works, I already wish I didn't know you Oh terrific
Wants to hire unknown troll comic to be the MC for a roast she's throwing for chaos tonight
This might be exactly what I need to test my theme if I can see how strong
He is then I'll know how much time I have left to keep ultimate evil from finding its way back to sky lands
That sounds bad as much as they trust themselves
Come on. Skull. What is it? Now? We're partners. You can tell me anything
Haha, that's what I like back
And I know that skull has mine because as I continue my journey to become a Skylander
I know that he realizes how important is your journey to become a skyline Belle in the heat of battle hex me
That's who which means I know a lot of spells a lot of them, and this one will free me from being your familiar forever
Hit work I'm free now
I can finally do what I want to do hang some drywall, but first us. That's something she does a lot
It's not like hex to miss our after-school undead Club meeting totally
And I haven't seen her since she's weird have you been yodeling again?
Oh, I've never felt better
And I can't wait to share all of my good feels with both. What should we do now?
Let's hug
everyone
Chaos well I see some familiar faces in the audience tonight like the O so scary doom Raider
Or as I call them show them some live
Now chaos don't let all that applause go to your head or actually go ahead
It looks like there's plenty of these jokes are aimed squarely at me, I know
Isn't this fun
Oh, yeah, you know you can't be a Skylander without her
But that's the thing I'm a free agent now see no more old thingy around my head hmm
What based on your alarm tone and the uncomfortable proximity of our faces? I'll say
Something not good once hex made you her familiar. You could never part
It was a nice peaceful walk to a portal so I can go home and watch my nighttime
stories
Totally not creepy that there's no one else on campus for the first time since when he is so eerily I mean late
I'm giving out free hugs
Hugo
Oh boy you
Know who wants the squishiest tag you could ever ask for
More scary cadet
Side of her supernatural essence to overtake the good within
Now she's a vessel of even
The worst kind of a so now hex can spread that evil to anyone in
Practice and without me that I thought she was about to kick me to the sky skull
You are integral to hexes success and vice versa even if your main, duties as a firm mist there there
You mustn't beat yourself up the other cadets will take care of that later right now
You must find hex and make things right to stop this madness. How do I do that?
They're evil essence will cease but how do I get close to hex if she's surrounded by all their evil cronies?
I'll air drop you in
Where I come from parents make their kids eat all the chaos on their plate before they believe the table
I came up with the most fiendish scheme to finally defeat the Tigers
How about another round of applause for our guest of honor who has been such a good sport
chaos
The obvious had the biggest joke of the night his chaos himself
And the best part of all is not
Just calm down. I'm done being calm, and I'm done being lied to you
So you can use me to find my mother's castle?
So to be my ignorant pawn, then I'll just have to find a more permanent way to keep you around as my trumpet
Sorry Queenie, but it looks like your powers are simply fool's gold doom Raider
There's one last yester who needs to learn his lesson about messing with me make you pay
Well well just the head I was looking at home I
Stopped back-to-back reverse evil blasts
2002
so
Yeah listen
Buddy story but go with me here
I kind of sort of turned you into a vessel of evil by breaking out in life or the afterlife
So I panicked and acted out I was training solo, so we'd be great skull
I want us to be Skylanders. I just want to be your familiar and friend again
My orbs back in this situation, and hope that God Wow I am just striking out left and right today
Hey ty one more thing skull
Hears that hug. He wanted for evermore

How To Add A Beautiful Portfolio Grid To Showcase WordPress Websites Or Demo Websites - Duration: 22:17.
If you're building websites for people you need to show off your work and in this video
this is what I'm going to show you how to add to your website it's right here this is
a interactive portfolio where you can show your best work or in the example I'm going
to show you in this video you can show work that you can do maybe some starter sites that
uses a starter point so here is what this will be able to do you can have multiple ways
of categorizing your work so in this example we have Beaver Builder or Elementor based
websites but then you can also have them categorized by type will also be able to have this search
option and here is how the portfolio works now any of these items it's
you they can see what this is gonna look like on a tablet or a mobile device and then there's
a little X here to collapse that in their back inside the portfolio and they can look
at other sites of yours so this is a great way to showcase the work that you have done
or in the example for this video the work that you can do to show you how to do all
of the circuit of a few gotchas that I get to in a moment hi my name is Adam from WPCrafter.com
wire make WordPress tutorial videos for non-techies to help you get more out of WordPress faster
if you're new here consider clicking on the subscribe button and if you don't want to
miss a thing click on the Bell notification Bell and YouTube let you know I have new videos
okay let me explain how this is going to work now I did put a video out maybe a month ago
and here it is it's on something called PODS and that's creating custom post types and
all of that kind of stuff and in that video I didn't go through the example of creating
a portfolio now I'm a firm believer that just because you can custom in hand do something
yourself it doesn't mean that you should if there's a better off-the-shelf option so you
can watch this video I use PODS I love PODS it's a great option but to get all of that
polish like you get here with all the hovering in and all of this kinda stuff the I-frame
and all that you're not going to get that out of PODS without some serious serious custom
work so what I'm talking about is a new plug-in that the folks from Astra just built and I
was showing you the portfolio that's actually on their website and they turn this into a
plug-in now initially starting tomorrow this is good to be available to anyone who has
purchased an Astra agency license that has access to these website demos I know a lot
of people on the channel have this I've been talking about it a lot for the past six months
now I don't know the details of what they're going to do the plug-in for the general public
I do believe they're either going to give it away or they're gonna sell it my guess
is they're going to sell it because there isn't anything like this this is an amazing
plug-in and I'm gonna show you it in this video but there some special goodies for people
that have been are using Astra and so I'm to show you the aster agency to get to this
site I have a link in the video description or you go to WPCrafter.com/Astra one word
just quickly show you the aster agency pricing it's it's a little bit of an investment is
250 bucks per year but it comes with a ton of stuff in Cape number one it comes with
the theme of the Pro version of Astra it comes with a suite of plug-ins and these just aren't
random Huggins these are finely crafted plug-ins that are the best at what they do there's
a ton of value in it and plus it also comes with something called Astra Sites premium
so those website demos that I showed you your you to be able to restore those with a single
click and I'm in a show you that in this video as well so comes a whole bunch of really cool
plug-ins that you can use on these sites it really is kind of a business in a box so nothing
like chitchatting let's see how we can implement this plug-in on your website so I have a fresh
installation of WordPress here are the only things that I have done is I've installed
Astra I've installed the Pro version of Astra I've installed Astra premium cites actual
images show you and I as I've installed this portfolio plug-in that will be made available
tomorrow Astra portfolio it looks like it's going to be available-for-sale some point
because there is a license code to activated now what I show you in this video just know
that there are many things that might change get better they are constantly making improvements
of things I've already made one or two suggestions that I'm pretty sure that they are going to
add to it so you can see right here I just have portfolio premium sites and asked her
probe if you have asked for agency you have access to these two and soon you'll have access

if everything works right it's gonna look like the site we just saw doing a refresh
and you can see this is now my website it is gorgeous it is beautiful okay while is
actually very nice and it's all done with Elementor and you can see right here it is
showing off some of those Astra Sites right I probably will maybe swap this section out
for the exact actual portfolio or let's see what here's a tab that says websites may be
output the portfolio in here so yeah get rid of these and I'll actually put the portfolio
it puts these in but it doesn't as not the actual portfolio or someone can click on it

so back into WordPress so go ahead and click this X and I've already built my beautiful
website so now here is portfolio when you activate the portfolio plug in your to see
the portfolio options and here are those of various options is so all portfolios these
are to be the each individual portfolio item I can add new ones there's the categories
these are to be words is all blog business fitness other categories is here on the left
were chose Beaver Builder and Elementor's you can choose to leverage those however you
want I want to go to settings though to show you something really really neat if you are
going to sell these Astra Sites and sell them a starter site so someone comes your website
that could be the starter and you're really just changing text and image there's is really
awesome little button here now I've actually already clicked on this button if you click
on it it's a set essentially going to take all of the Astra Sites it's can import them
into this portfolio plug-in so you can beautifully display them on your website and they're all
white label does show you that in a moment now the way you're going to show these portfolio
items is with the shortcodes so let me just save a moment here and put this into my clipboard
and now we also have these options so we can name it enables sorting by categories and
I'm also to check sorting by other categories that's where was Beaver Builder or Elementor
you can leverage it however you want and I'm also going to enable the the search box there
and you can choose how many columns and then when some scrolls to the bottom of the list
you can put some form of a call to action right here now this will accept HTML and also
short code if you wanted to do a really nice styled call to action that you make in Beaver
Builder or Elementor you can put the short code for that save it and then put the short
code here for that but I just put a little bit of text right now just so when you see
it on the front and you'll know what I'm talking about our rights so all I wrote was that you
pry when you some HTML to have a link or a button or something like that I just puts
or do with the short code I just put ready to get started contact us today have a beautiful
website to morrow summer go ahead and save these changes that I made right now let me
show you all portfolios this is where all the individual portfolio items are now when
you do the import like I did it's going to automatically add them all and when it does
that they'll be sitting here in draft mode so if I was a put that short code anywhere
something to show anything because actually need to publish all of these so here I'm just
going to click on this box to go to bulk actions edits to click on apply and this is going
allow me to publish them in bulk so many go ahead and do that now let me show you the
anatomy of one of these portfolio item options so here's actually the site that I imported
right here someone to go ahead and click on it so you have the name and this is what's
going to show just underneath the thumbnail picture then you have the URL now in the way
it's imported this is how it looks you see it doesn't have the HT to answer anything
like that I've tested this in order to do it here in a moment were going to actually
create one of these portfolio items but if you do put HTTPS in the www.all that it works
just fine so we have that we have the categories you can drop these in categories and then
we have the other categories that I was showing you than just the master settings that doesn't
even have any bearing on this and that we have the few that featured image showing the
dimensions of these featured images here actually let me go ahead and click on media because
you're going to see what happened was all of the thumbnail images for all of these websites
were imported and here they all are so if I click on one of them you can see right here
the dimensions of the images need to be 600 x 600 but I got you covered to them to show
you how to make that in this video as well okay so let's go ahead and added a portfolio
item and then integrate this with our website someone to go to portfolio I'm in a go to
add new and I'm in a go ahead and fill this out really quick okay so I put this in the
put WPCrafter.com and I put the URL to my website you notice I put the HTTP S and there
I chose blog for the category for other categories I clicked on Beaver Builder however I want
you to know that I recently put Elementor on my website and some pages are to start
being done in Elementor and I don't have a featured image so let's go ahead and get one
now there's a really great tool that's free if you use the chrome web browser it's called
full page screen captures of you do a Google search for full page screen capture. To see
this Google Chrome extension right here this should be the one that I have it should say
installed added to chrome that means I have this installed okay so now I'm in a show you
how to use this basically it's an extension and makes Chrome do more for you I don't know
how way of doing this and the other web browsers so you should have your web developer you
should have all the browsers on your computer anyway okay so when you install and activate
this is good extension in your web browser you're gonna see the option right here it
looks like a camera right there so when you hovered it says a full-page screen capture
so not let me show you how that works so here we are on my website and all I have to do
is click on that little camera and you'll see what happens it's going to do a quick
scan of my websites and then it's going to open up in a new tab here is a beautiful screenshot
of my website everything that's on that page so then there are these four options in the
top right the third one is to download it right here in this is download image so my
go ahead and click on download image now you need to have some kind of an image editor
to crop this to be 600 x 600 so let me show you how I do it on a Mac but you should have
a similar application on a PC so when I open that it's here's the name it auto generated
and then here it is and I have options on a Mac is actually kind of hard to show you
so I go to tools and I go to adjust the size you see this pop-up right here and I can adjust
the size so I know he needs me 600 x 600 so for the width I'm been a change that to 600
now when I change it to 600 it automatically adjusts the height someone go ahead and click
okay and it's going to well make it disappear let me see what happened to that I think I
might've just crashed my program okay that's odd it actually crash that's a rare thing
that happened on my Mac but that's okay anyways I have it here and it's now 600 in width so
let me just click on this little plus a little bit to make it easy larger in my eyes okay
there it is so now what I want to do is I can just drag like this and I want to make
it 600s you can kinda see a number there is a 600 x 4 79 I want that to be 600 x 600 up
there is let's go like that and that's good enough for me so now I've selected 600 so
I'm going to crop it by hitting command K and here it is it's 600 x 600 know if I go
to tools adjust size you'll see it's now 600 x 600 essentially just need to use any of
that image editor to make it that size so I go ahead and close that and you can close
this tab right here let me go back into my add new portfolio item a minute click on set
featured image and I'm going to go ahead and drag that over now I'll tell you this is the
file name I would probably suggest changing the filename not leave it screen capture blah
blah blah you might want to change it to maybe WP website template or something like that
so I'm dragging and dropping it across there it is set featured image and there it is 600
x 600 I'm a to go ahead and click on publish okay we now added a new portfolio item this
is awesome so I'm go back to settings and get that short code in my clipboard and let's
let's go ahead and toss this in to the website okay so I think we decided this was going
to be the site were going to get rid of all of this and were going to go ahead and put
this and instead some to click on edit with Elementor and I'm sure that's just the section
and I can delete everything out of it yeah just a section here someone to be able to
delete all of these some to go up here and let's get rid of that let's get rid of that
get rid of that and that and now I have nothing there so for shortcodes in any of these page
builders usually want to use the HTML widget so let me do a search for that so here it
is HTML someone to go ahead and I want to drop that right there and right here minute
pace my short code and then a minute click on save okay so that's going to save and it
should render out if I got this correctly let's see what happens when I go to view page
writes up there it is it works okay so sometimes when you do this short code it might not show
here if I was to maybe get out of this and then get back into it maybe it would show
it then slid CM out let me get back into Elementor to see if it actually shows it's no pictures
showing me the shortcut but that's okay so here I am on the site and you can see now
I have this in here I would probably add a little bit of padding and it looks like there
might be a little bit of a CSS issue here know it's actually pulling the color from
here or for their so there is this branding image this branding option that's what it
looks like is happening but here it is I beautiful portfolio on my website now and it was so
easy right so you can showcase your websites that you designed or you can you can show
these these Astra Sites that you're trying to sell so I'm a scroll down to this and see
if we get our call to action up there it is ready to get started contact us today and
have a beautiful website tomorrow so now let's see what happens when I load this up on my
website I'm a click on quick view and you know what's weird I think it might be that
URL it looks like it broke out of the I-frame somehow you notice the URL change to let me
go ahead and see about that I want to go back and this is what happens when I make these
videos without doing everything in advance let's look at this one okay aster agency.local
and okay so this is staying on the website so I must've done something wrong with the
URL that I'll go fix right now you notice the website is completely white labeled let
me get out of that so for example I did make a whole tutorial on this one and it used to
say Astra appear but now it's white labeled you don't see it saying Astor are making references
to Astra anywhere and I like that not even in the in this is nice not even in the footer
credits as a make reference to Astra all these demos are completely white labeled now so
anyways this is the plug-in I love it I I like the way you can sort I like how you can
have the multiple categories it's all optional I showed you how easy it was in this video
to make thumbnail images of your websites and I just love this poor folate you know
I've looked in the past for something that actually does this and I only found one little
option on code Canyon it was poorly supported and it had no polish like this as this is
a beautiful way of displaying your prior work so anyways if you don't have master agency
and are interested in it go to WPCrafter.com/Astra the video though be a link in the video description
down below I will add information as well to the pin comment when I know when and if
this is available separately so if you don't have aster agency in you but you really want
this type of portfolio I'm sure that is not far behind the actual release to aster agency
customers I think this is huge I think it really adds so much value to the aster agency
package you saw how just in the short span of this video I built a beautiful website
filled with demos that I could start selling to potential customers immediately everything
white labeled and hosted for you you really can't beat that you really can't beat that
at all so anyways let me know what you think about this and do that in the video comment
section it down below and as always thank you for watching this video and I can't wait
to make the next one for you beautifully modern portfolio you can hover over it and then there's
a quick view button you click on that and it's going to load a preview of the website
just like this not what's really nice about it is it's the person is still on your website
if you notice the URL did not change and that's because the websites can unload and then I
frame and what's nice on the bottom right here you have responsive options so your visitor
that's checking you out checking your workout or checking out what you can do

Did President Trump Endorse Q Info on Secret Indictments of Pedophile Network
BY DR MICHAEL SALLA
On November 25, President Donald Trump re-tweeted an alternative news article lauding many of
the accomplishments achieved during his administration so far.
The site he retweeted, MAGAPILL soon crashed as many of the President�s 42 million followers
went there to learn more.
What is significant about the article and site he retweeted is that it featured a November
19 story about an alleged whistleblower called Q, who has been releasing a lot of information
about what is really going on behind the scenes in Washington DC.
In retweeting the story and link to the MAGAPILL site, which he lauded as a genuine news site
in contrast to �fake news� sites, was Trump indirectly endorsing Q�s information
as genuine?
If so, then the ramifications are enormous.
First, let�s begin with Trump�s re-tweet.
The article he referred to is titled �President Donald Trump�s Accomplishment List� and
an archived copy is available here.
It lists his accomplishments across a broad spectrum of political, economic and national
security areas.
What is arguably more significant is that at the very top of this article was a large
banner linking to a featured story �Q Clearance Patriot: The Storm and the Awakening: follow
the white rabbit�.
By clicking the banner�s link, Trump interested readers are taken to a November 19 article
that discusses the revelations of Q, an alleged high-level insider spilling the beans on what
is happening behind the scenes.
The Q material discusses an enormous number of topics such as secret indictments of the
political elite, current events in Saudi Arabia and Trump�s national security briefings
by figures such as NSA Director, Admiral Michael Rogers.
The preface found on the MAGAPILL site mentions the enormity of the information released in
this article, and provides some highlights of the released material.
Among the more interesting is the view that rather than former FBI Director Robert Mueller
conducting a serious investigation into the links between Russia and the Trump Presidential
campaign, Mueller is really investigating a corrupt pedophile network that has secretly
monopolized power in the US:
The Special Counsel is not corrupt.
Let me say that again, the special counsel, headed by Mueller, is not running a corrupt
investigation.
He�s doing the job properly under the guise of investigating the Trump team.
This has lowered the guard of the true targets because nobody anticipated it, including the
media.
There are an unprecedented number of sealed indictments across the nation right now that
have not been executed, over 1100 sealed indictments at last glance.
Many high level officials will soon be arrested to actually �Drain the Swamp� beyond what
anyone thought was possible.
Once the corruption and the �type of corruption� is revealed to the American people, it will
trigger �The Awakening�.
This event will be something unlike anything you�ve ever witnessed, Americans will unite
behind Trump and his administration for cleaning house.
There have been persistent rumors of hundreds of secret Grand Jury indictments that are
on the verge of being unleashed.
These rumors have been circulating for weeks and a number of alternative media figures
have closely analyzed some of the Q material that refers to them.
Among these figures is Jordan Sather, whose �Destroying the Illusion� Youtube channel
has gained over 65,000 subscribers due to his cogent analyses of the Q material and
other topical issues.
Sather released a video on November 26 analyzing Trump�s retweet of the MAGAPILL article,
and was the first to raise the possibility that Trump was indirectly endorsing the legitimacy
of the Q material.
While the Q material is quite extensive, its core claim that Mueller, as Special Counsel,
has really been investigating a corrupt pedophile network, rather than the alleged Russia Trump
campaign connection, is very significant.
Of special interest is Meueller�s background as a former US Marine Corps Captain (1968-1971)
who was highly decorated for his bravery during the Vietnam War.
It�s worth noting that the Secretary of Defense, James Mattis is a retired four star
USMC general, as is Trump�s Chief of Staff, John Kelly.
Given the deep loyalty of former USMC personnel to their military service (semper fidelis
� always faithful), it�s very possible that Meuller is secretly following an agenda
sanctioned by Mattis and Kelly.
We also need to keep in mind claims that on November 18, a number of USMC helicopters
allegedly buzzed the CIA�s Headquarters in Langley, Virginia.
While initial reports erroneously referred to the CIA�s HQ being stormed by the USMC,
a former FBI agent, Hal Turner confirmed through credible sources that the helicopters had
only �buzzed� the CIA HQ for roughly 30 minutes.
Did nearby residents in McLean suddenly notice a large number of loud helicopters overhead,
moving toward or from the area of the CIA.
The repeated answer to that question has been �Yes.�
Many (very many) residents of McLean, VA have confirmed they found themselves hearing large
numbers of loud aircraft overhead on Saturday, and that the sounds lasted more then 30 minutes!
The intent was clear, the USMC was threatening the CIA�s clandestine services division
to get on board with the Trump administration or else.
This is not the first time that the CIA has been intimidated by a US President threatening
to unleash the US military against its facilities.
In 1958, President Eisenhower threatened the CIA�s Area 51 facilities in Nevada with
invasion by the US First Army stationed at Colorado if the CIA did not fully disclose
all its classified programs there.
In a May 2013 video interview, a former CIA operative revealed what he heard Eisenhower
tell his boss to relay to the mysterious MJ-12 Committee in charge of the Area 51 facility,
for which the CIA provided operational security:
We called the people in from MJ-12, from Area 51 and
S-4, but they told us that the government had no jurisdiction over what they were doing�.
I want you and your boss to fly out there.
I want you to give them a personal message�.
I want you to tell them, whoever is in charge, I want you to tell them that they
have this coming week to get into Washington and to report to me.
And if they don�t, I�m going to get the First Army from Colorado.
we are going to go over and take the base over.
I don�t care what kind of classified material you got.
We are going to rip this thing apart.�
This takes us finally to the testimony of Michael Gerloff, who has served with the USMC,
US Army Rangers and Seattle Police over a period spanning 20 years from 1978 to 2001.
Gerloff says that he was part of a secret USMC intelligence group established by President
Eisenhower in the early 1950�s, that continues to the
present day.
According to Gerloff, the USMC was given special responsibility by Eisenhower to act as an
institutional bulwark against systemic corruption that threatened the US Constitution and the
Republic.
This corruption stemmed from the creation of secret space programs that worked closely
with major defense contractors at remote locations such as Area 51.
What we are witnessing now with over a thousand secret indictments allegedly generated by
Mueller, Trump�s USMC/Navy dominated administration, USMC helicopters buzzing CIA HQ and Gerloff�s
claims, is that we are on the verge of major revelations about deep systemic corruption
that has plagued the US.
The role of the USMC in taking the lead in cleaning up this systemic corruption is slowly
being revealed.
Trump�s retweet of the MAGAPILL article appears to be an endorsement of the view that
secret indictments established by Meuller are on
the verge of being disclosed, thereby triggering many further revelations that will awaken
the general public.
In the meantime, Trump is encouraging those among the American public who are ready, to
go
down the rabbit hole to learn the truth about systemic corruption, powerful pedophile networks,
and secret space programs.

Manchester United, Chelsea or Barcelona – who should Mesut Ozil join? - Duration: 7:56.
Manchester United, Chelsea or Barcelona – who should Mesut Ozil join?
Ozil is out of contract in the summer and has so far shown little desire to sign an extension at the Emirates, with Manchester United leading the queue of suitors offering him an escape route.
But Chelsea have reportedly now joined them, while he has also been muted as a cheaper alternative to Philippe Coutinho at Barcelona.
With so many massive clubs in the running for his signature, Ozil has a difficult decision to make….
MANCHESTER UNITED.
In almost every respect, Ozil feels like a perfect fit for United.
This is a club synonymous with silky creators but who are currently missing an Ozil-shaped spark in their attack.
while Mourinho is the manager who has managed to extract the most consistency out of his game to date.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has shown his class only in fits and starts, whereas the German is the finished, proven article.
Not that you'd necessarily know that given the amount of criticism he still receives.
His detractors say he does not work hard enough, does not score enough goals and is passive to the point of invisibility when it matters most.
Yet he has consistently been one of the most creative and influential players in the Premier League, and Arsenal are an infinitely better team when he is on song.
But there is a very real sense that he is not his decisive best often enough.
This is where Mourinho holds the edge over Arsene Wenger.
At Arsenal Ozil has been allowed to coast – a certain level of mediocrity is accepted, the top four celebrated with selfies – but only first place and silverware satisfies Mourinho.
At Real he managed to motivate Ozil through an almost physiological warfare, firing him up and challenging him to improve.
It could be hard to resist rekindling that connection.
CHELSEA.
The prospect of Ozil moving to Stamford Bridge emerged in SportBild this week, and from Ozil's point of view it would make a lot of sense.
He is known to enjoy life both in the Premier League and specifically London, while reigning champions Chelsea offer a greater shot at winning what would be just the second league title of his career.
Quite how well Ozil would fit into Antonio Conte's 3-4-3 formation is a different matter, though the prospect of a Hazard-Morata-Ozil front three is worth taking the risk to find out.
Moreover, Conte is not so wedded to any one system that he could not tweak his formation to accommodate the German.
He has done exactly that this season with Cesc Fabregas – one of few players to keep pace with Ozil's creative numbers – switching to a 3-5-2.
while Andrea Pirlo flourished under his management despite possessing little of the all-action skills he now requires from his central midfielders.
Chelsea would tick a lot of boxes for Ozil: the chance to challenge for major silverware without relocating, a manager that could coax out his best form, and teammates that feel ready-made to play off him.
But it is missing the Mourinho factor, which, coupled with the uncertainty that surrounds Conte's position at Chelsea, just takes the edge off the Blues' appeal.
BARCELONA.
If swapping Arsenal for Chelsea would cause a stir in London, imagine the impact Ozil – a former Madrid player – would have if he elected to join Clasico rivals Barcelona.
He's been linked with the Catalan club as a cheaper alternative to Philippe Coutinho, whom Liverpool are demanding in excess of £100million for.
Ozil would cost nothing, and can sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs in January.
The lure of Barca is clear.
With Andres Iniesta in the twilight of his career, Ozil would have the chance to step into the boots of a bona fide legend, while the pace and style of La Liga has always felt like a better fit for his qualities and personality.
Ozil has adapted to the Premier League well, but ultimately fans will generally applaud tireless pressing or a crunching challenge more than even the most perfectly weighted through-ball.
Barca's possession style suits perfectly with the way Ozil plays, and the opportunity to play alongside Lionel Messi could be too good to turn down.
He could also become just the third player, after Henrik Larsson and Gerard Pique, to play alongside both the Argentine and Cristiano Ronaldo at club level.
Then again, with Coutinho Barca's real No.
1 target, would he really want to be the booby prize?.
STAY AT ARSENAL.
Of course, Ozil does not have to leave Arsenal.
The Gunners have tabled a lucrative offer that would double his wages and make him the highest paid player at the club.
he has a manager who nurtures and supports, and few will be as accommodating of his occasional bouts of anonymity.
and he is happy and settled at a club with a burgeoning German core.
Perhaps Arsenal have not offered the kind of platform needed to fight for Premier League and Champions League glory in recent years, but that feels like it is starting to change.
They broke their transfer record for Alexandre Lacazette, they have added to their backroom team by poaching Raul Sanllehi and Sven Mislintat from Barcelona and Dortmund respectively.
Perhaps the grass isn't always greener elsewhere….

Rihanna Only Sleeps Three Or Four Hours A Night; What's Her Reason? - Duration: 3:58.
Rihanna Only Sleeps Three Or Four Hours A Night; What's Her Reason?
Rihanna confessed that she only sleeps for 'three or four hours a night'.
She has admitted she finds it tough to switch off from the demands of her daily life at night and, as a result, she gets less sleep each evening compared to the average person.
She said that 'I have a lot of trouble switching off.
Even when I get home early, which means before 1 a.m., I start binge-watching shows or documentaries, which I love.
I can't go straight to bed.
I only sleep three or four hours a night.'.
Rihanna regards the likes of Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Tina Turner to be among the most significant inspirations in her own life.
Rihanna was reportedly also inspired by the late Princess Diana – and in particular, the so-called revenge dress she wore to the Serpentine Gallery's summer party in 1994, shortly after it emerged Prince Charles had been unfaithful to her.
She told French Vogue magazine that 'Every time a man cheats on you or mistreats you, you need a revenge dress.
Every woman knows that.
But whether her choice of this knockdown dress was conscious or not, I am touched by the idea that even Princess Diana could suffer like any ordinary woman.
This Diana Bad B***h moment blew me away.'.
Rihanna previously admitted that her fashion sense was hugely influenced by her male friends, recalling that 'When I was 13 or 14, I didn't want to wear what my mom wanted me to wear.
I was very much a boy in my style, my demeanor.
All my friends were guys.
I loved things that boys did.
I loved being easy with my clothes.
I loved wearing hats and scarves and snapbacks on my head.
It was my way of rebelling.
I wanted to dress like my brother,' she continued.
'After a while, it was just easier for Mom to dress us both the same.
We wore the same jeans, the same T-shirts,' Rihanna concluded.

I'm Justin Mack and this is "The Drop."
In a recent interview, NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal named Indiana Pacers great Rik Smits
as one of the four players he feared the most, along with David Robinson, Hakeem Olajuwon and Patrick Ewing.
And clearly, one of these guys sticks out like a sore thumb.
Do I have to say it. Yeah it's David Robinson. He's left handed!
A bug MacOS High Sierra, the latest version of Apple's operating system, allows anyone with physical access
to your computer to log in by just typing the "root" as the username and clicking enter.
No password required. A bad, bad bug, but the good news as that Apple is already working on a fix
that should roll out to Macs really, really soon, and it's only gonna cost you $3,000.
And finally, the president of ESPN announced in a memo to employees Wednesday that the company
is going to lay off about 150 employees, majority being behind the camera positions.
And this is just awful news. Not only are a bunch of people losing their jobs, but it seems like every time there is a cut at ESPN,
Stephen A. Smith gets another hour or two of airtime to scream at nothing. That's awful.
That's it for "The Drop." I'm Justin Mack.
