So many people have been speaking about the climate crisis. So many things have been put on paper. But the real question is why is it that we're still not acting at the scale and speed that is necessary? The extreme weather events that the scientists have long connected to the climate crisis are becoming far more frequent and far more destructive. For 150 years we built up a world based on the assumption that we can exploit the planet for free and it translates to very dramatic impacts happening right as we speak. The climate crisis is a threat multiplier which means it exacerbates existing inequities in our society. The impacts are felt most deeply by Black, Indigenous and communities of colour. We're living through an explosion of inequality. We need to remember we're on the same planet and this is the planet that we need to make sustainable for the whole of humanity. Climate change is impacting food security as well as political stability in many nations around the world. Five years ago there were 80 million people marching towards starvation. That number jumped to 135 million. What caused the jump? It was man-made conflict like in Ukraine compounded with climate shocks. No one is as vulnerable to climate change as farmers are. If you talk transformation the first thing they want to know is what must I do on my farm? We know that this transition will require a fast adoption of a lot of new technologies and the question today is how to find the appropriate way to finance this technology. To put a number around it it's an extra two and a half to three trillion dollars a year of additional finance that we have to find in order to get those emissions down. Financial institutions have a lot of roles to play to bring the advice and provide the financing to make these transitions happen. Younger generations are demanding a sense of purpose. They want to look at companies and say I am investing with you all for this reason. With the upcoming two cops taking place in Africa and the Middle East we have this tremendous opportunity to put emerging markets at the forefront of our collective response to climate change. For international trade has to be part of the solution. How do we all get together to talk about a global carbon price that can guide us and help us to decarbonize the world? The solutions are there. What we need is governments to regulate, to invest and we need business to act with values. History will look at us, people, politicians, corporate leaders. These times require not only solutions but speed. There is nowhere else to look than the mirror. We are the ones that need to do this. So welcome everybody to this session. This is what climate change sounds like. The purpose of the session is to hear about a novel collaboration between a climate scientist and a musician. Exploring how we can bring together science, technology and music to spur climate action. I'm Jane Burstin, the Executive Director of the Clean Air Fund and I'm joined by Eduardo Del Signore. He's a Grammy nominated and independent music award-winning musician, composer and producer. He's collaborated with leading artists from around the world and is president and founder of the A Call to Peace Foundation. He works on the climate music project which we'll be exploring today. I'm also joined by Garrett Boudinot, who's a climate scientist whose research spans climate change from sea level rise and forest fires to carbon cycle changes in the oceans and the atmosphere. He's the founder and CEO of ViCarve, a carbon dioxide removal company and also serves on the New York State Climate Impact Assessment. He's a fellow collaborator with Eduardo on the Climate Music Project. Before we begin, I wanted to remind you all that if you'd like to share any thoughts or insights as we're talking today on social media, then we're all using the hashtag SDIM22, that's SDIM22. The session structure is going to be between the three of us and then before we depart, hear an excerpt of one of the key pieces of music that the team has produced as a result of this collaboration. So to kick us off, Eduardo, I wondered could you just tell us a little bit of background about the Climate Music Project? Background about the project itself. Well, the Climate Music Project is an organization based in San Francisco, I believe, and they bring together scientists and composers in order to produce works like the ones you're going to see today to bring forth a message and information about what's happening, the causes and the effects of climate change. So you have two angles to the same thing, a scientific angle and a musical angle from, you know, the composer or composers. In my personal approach was the human condition, and which is something that I also applied to the foundation. And based on that, we started to communicate and exchange ideas. And that's how this particular project came to fruition. And this is, today is the premiere of it. So we're all very lucky today. Yeah, we're very excited to hear it. And Garret, just turning to you now. I mean, most of us learn about the latest climate science from the IPCC. I mean, we hear about it in the press on a regular basis, but then when the Sixth Assessment Report came out, we got to see it in its entirety. And I remember seeing that the headline from that was very stark and unequivocal. Climate change is widespread, rapid and intensifying. So it's clear to all of us that we need to act now and act at scale. But it's not really happening at the scale that we need. I mean, how does it feel to be working on this topic on a daily basis? And what inspired you to get involved with the project? Yeah, so like you said, we're definitely not seeing the action that we in the climate science community know we need to impart to stop climate change and reverse what we've already done. My whole career has been studying the impacts of climate change using analytical chemistry, studying, as you said, really how the changes in the carbon cycle from greenhouse gas emissions that we're doing impacts ecosystems all around the world. I used to joke that if I was going to stay studying the problem, I'd need to have a heavy dose of antidepressants because it's just a heavy topic to devote one's life to. Particularly because we scientists are not kind of just black boxes that run numbers, we're people and we're also impacted by climate change. And so I was looking for coming out of my PhD opportunities to take what I had learned and the skills that I had developed in climate science and really cater those two solutions. And one of the big ways to create solutions is inspire people to act and some of that's through education, but a lot of that's by reaching out to the human condition through music. And so the Climate Music Project was a blessing for me to be a part of and really contribute to that larger goal. And for you, what does success look like from this project? Yeah, so the Climate Music Project has two real goals. So one is to instill a sense of urgency about climate change to the listeners, but with that inspire action. And so to me, success means that our audience is not only more aware of the climate science and feels a sense of urgency to act, but also feels inspired and empowered that they have the potential to act and stop climate change. Building on Garrett's points about us all having our own experiences of climate change and feelings about it, how Eduardo, do you work with, how do you communicate that and the human condition and all of our different feelings about the topic through your music? Well, the nature of music, as far as I understand, music comes from a source, which is also to me a source of life itself. And the fact that music puts me in touch with that source as well. When that happens, I feel certain peace. When I feel certain peace, I experience clarity. When I experience clarity, I realize I have options. Then I can choose. And if I choose right, I can feel gratitude. That can be for something that could happen to anybody. You just need to be breathing. That's the condition. So music is a catalyst, in a way, to put people in touch with that intimate part of each one of us. So if my music can cause that effect on somebody, together with what is being exposed with messages from climate music, then they can get inspired to at least think, what can I do? And assume responsibility for it. Absolutely. And given how, I mean, Garrett was talking about even one person having different feelings at different times, you know, at some points, feeling like you need to be on antidepressants working on this, at other times feeling kind of much more hopeful. I can imagine from the people that you've spoken to, there's huge regional differences as well in their experiences and how they feel about the topic. Do you have any concrete examples about how you've been able to represent those differences in the music? Well, it's something that my intention was there. I don't know if people are going to interpret it that way. But I like to work in layers when I work with music and layers of harmonic and also rhythmic polyrhythms and then to incorporate the music that was created from the graphics that the scientists provided. I mean, it's a fascinating process. Yeah. So the other quality of music is universal language. Anybody in the world can understand, you know, it's a melody, a note.  But anybody can understand it. You don't need to know a particular language. You just need to enjoy it. So that part of music is very important. And so tell us a little bit about how you worked together, like which bits of the process did you do? How much interaction was there during, who did what? Maybe turning to Garrett first of all. Yeah, go for it. Yeah. And I want to say it's a long process. I mean, it's been 12, 18 months from the very second half. Yeah. Yeah. And so the climate music project where a number of composers and science teams are working on different projects at any given point, brought us together with a number of other scientists and other folks at the project. And we had a lot of open-ended discussions about for a scientist, what are some stories that the climate science data is telling us about the state of climate change or about, you know, where we're headed decisions we can make that we feel are underrepresented, that the public should better have a sense of. And then it was really fun then to hear from Eduardo what are some of the parts of climate change that he wanted the public to be more aware of in his perspective. And through several conversations, we kind of narrowed in on what's a cohesive story that a composition could tell. And then myself and other scientists were then tasked with finding the actual quantitative data sets that would support that. And that was another iterative process where we combed through the IPCC special report on 1.5 degrees warming and looked at some of the historical data that's been that was used in some of those. And then also the different model projections for different pathways that we might take depending on our actions. And within those models and historical data, there's a plethora of different characteristics about the climate, but also socioeconomic decisions that humanity can make that will push us in these different global warming pathways. So there was a lot of behind-the-scenes science data processing going into combing through the data, picking that out, and then eventually presenting to Eduardo, here are some of the data sets, both again historical and then future projections that we think aligns with this story. And then I'll let you take it from there on what you did. Well, they provided me with two sets of graphics. The one set was to project into a positive outcome. The other one was business as usual, right? So they had on their own a force, you know, one of them was like, oh, it's getting darker, it's getting worse. The other one is, oh, there is hope we can do this and something could happen. And then all of a sudden, we're having a good time. So I incorporated both in both sets of graphics they were based on the change of temperature, the carbon absorption and investment on renewable energies. So that was a little bit of my interpretation of what they were providing, and it seems like they like it. Excellent. And this is the piece that we're going to get to hear at the end. Yeah, Odyssey. Originally I called the piece Wrinkled Science, but they didn't like that. But I was basing that name in the, you know, the first year of the pandemic when the world kind of stopped and how nature flourished. It was like, boom, you know, it's like an incredible, beautiful thing. People in the Himalayas that they couldn't even see the mountains because pollution, they could all of a sudden see the beauty of the place, you know, the oceans became cleaner. You know, we have seen that there was a beautiful documentary that documented all that. So I think you suggested Odyssey, but like the Odyssey, the journey, you know, and then we were talking on a conference one day and I say, how about we, we just changed the O for the AU. So implies an Odyssey of sound, right, a journey of sound towards a positive outcome. That's such an excellent name. And I love that you, you both came up with that together and on your journey kind of through building this piece, what kind of challenges did you face as a team? Everything, to me, there wasn't, there were no challenges, other than, you know, just like being able to concentrate and come up with the music. But that's something that happens to me every day. Yeah, from the science side, we put, there was a lot of behind the scenes discussion on what's the right data. I mean, okay, so even if we narrowed it into we want to pick data from the IPCC special report on 1.5, there's still a ton of data. And so combing through, of course, that's all compiled from other data sets and reports and studies. And so really picking out what we wanted to do there and processing it in a way that could be then sonified for a musical composition.  And so using it, that quantitative data that tells, as Eduardo said, much of that data told a depressing story of what the world might look like if we don't act. But then leveraging that to tell a really compelling, powerful story through something that we're hearing, not quantitatively, that was, it was a challenge, but one that was central to the process and fun. Yeah, I agree. And did you get any, what was unexpected along the journey? How was it different than you? Unexpected? No, actually, I I challenged myself not to have expectations. And I actually do that every day. And to me, it was a very enjoyable process. I never worked with scientists before. And I thought it was fantastic, you know, just because I like to look at the person, I like to find the person, you know. So that was, I didn't find any additional challenge other than, you know, my own commitment. It was, it was surprising to hear the first presentation that Eduardo provided us of the actual music, right? We spent all this time working on it and talking about it very kind of abstractly. And then we have this data that we provide. And so I remember the first time Eduardo kind of played us a snippet of it. And that was unexpected just because, I mean, we, it was, it was a blank canvas that Eduardo was able to paint on. So that was a fun expect or a fun surprise. I'll also add that part of this process with all of the climate music projects compositions is that they also bring to the table visual artists. So all of the performances are live for an audience that helps stimulate the discussion about action. We have public policy experts in the room to help again kind of guy going from urgency to action that we all have. But a lot of the way that the climate music project conveys the science through the music is with visual imagery as well. And so that was another part of the process. And again, something that was unexpected was seeing then how a visual artist took the data and the music and then conveyed that visually to really put a bow on top of the whole thing. And we're going to hear the excerpts at the end. Before we do, I'll come to Garrett to get from you your kind of feelings and thoughts when you first heard it and how far you thought it represented the data and the actions that need to be taken. But Eduardo, maybe you could just talk us through a little bit. I know we're only going to hear two minutes of what's a 10 minute piece. Can you tell us a little bit more about what we're going to hear and what you hope people will take away from it? Okay. You're just going to hear probably the first half of the piece. It's going to be visual, too, for people to see. So it's a poem that I incorporated from Mary Oliver that I just love. I love her writing. And then it's kind of like a journey. It just comes from nowhere. And all of a sudden, this whole thing starts to happen and there is tension that represented by the music coming out of the graphics and the music that I compose to accompany that. And so that's the first part. If you want me to keep explaining the rest. So it's a journey. It's like the both outcomes are presented simultaneously. The minis and the good ones. So they are doing their thing, saying their thing. The changes proposed that project a positive outcome. Keep insisting. Keep insisting. It has to keep happening. It's like a trip. Out of a sign, you have a river. And halfway through the song, the whole mood changes. And people start, I can see people celebrating, you know, having a decent, simple, beautiful life, which is we are not built by default to struggle and to just survive. We're built to thrive. That is our nature. So that's what I want to represent at the end of the piece. And it just fades into eternity. Yeah. And Carol, what did you feel then when you first heard this? Yeah, so in working with Eduardo leading up to it, one of the fun things about working on a team we should say is just getting to know each other and the whole group and having, you know, talking about what our future sounds like, the state of the climate. It's a very personal experience. And so it was cool to see Eduardo's thought processes through all this. And he's a very thoughtful person. He's put a lot into not just, you know, where I come from of how was the climate changing, but on a human level, what brought us here? And what does that mean for our future? And so that was the backdrop upon which I was hearing the piece. And it was cool to hear those juxtaposing data sets. And here, really, Eduardo's thought process progressing forward on this journey, this odyssey, playing out what that future looks like. And so it was, for me, a great experience to tie what's the music, but then also knowing the composer and seeing that process, it really brought it to life. I like to add that whenever it is presented live, I will be improvising things on my bass that it's going to be always different. Every time that this is going to be presented, and if I'm there, it's going to be with an additional element. Excellent. And you're presenting it live for the first time this evening, I believe, at the UN? Yes, exactly. And where for our listeners today who want to hear the full piece, where would they go and when to hear that? Well, I don't know yet. The Climate Music Project people are going to take the initiative on that. And once they do, then I will borrow that and put it on my own social media and websites. Great. So keep an eye out for the Climate Music Project and odyssey. And I might just plug climatemusic.org. Yeah, thank you. Excellent. So we know exactly where we're going, climatemusic.org. And so we're going to hear the piece in just 30 seconds, but one word from both of you before we close on what would you like the future to sound like? Do you want to start with me? Yeah. I remember they asked me once in an interview and I said, I imagine like, you know, in kindergarten, when the kids have a break and go to play, that sound. Nice. Nice. Garrett? For me, rhythm. I think climate change is a disruption of the Earth's natural rhythm and I want to hear that restored. Thank you. Well, thank you so much, both of you, for the piece and for your time today. And I think we'll now close with this exit.


All right, four Hall of Fame awards calculated on the basis of the metals accrued in the previous categories. We have four very well-deserving winners. The first category being best digital and social media advertiser of the year. Do we have any guesses for this one? No. No. Wow. Lovely. At least I had a response. Well, thank God for that. Let's find out who it is. Digital and social media advertiser of the year. The campaigns MTV, India, CS and Bigg Boss Double Trouble.


Morning, YouTube! Post Office, Ace Hardware, The Office, back and forth on my way. Here we go, let's do this, people! Alright, so back to YouTube. Basically, what I'm about to ask you to do is because I want to make sure we stay connected as best as possible. Could you go below this video and hit the little bell? It's a little bell symbol, I'll try to put it up now. Basically, if you hit that bell, you will receive a little alert on your phone or email. I can't remember which one. Little alert letting you know when I have uploaded a new video. So, that way we can stay better connected. Because there's just a lot going on out there. There's a lot of people uploading every day, which is great. But, I want to make sure if you are here, there's a lot of new people that we're able to stay connected. I mean, I really mean that. I'm not just saying. And that happens through the comment section. A lot of times it happens through Twitter, Snapchat, and hopefully someday in the real world, we can all share a brew together at a local pub somewhere around the world. Alright, kapish! Does that make sense, everybody? Just an insane day, people. I don't even remember the last clip I filmed. I really don't. I think it was at Ace Hardware when I purchased Flex Seal. So, we're going to go hang out at a grotto here in a few seconds. But first, if you're new to the vlog, if you're just watching for the first time, we're having a little bit of a swamp cooler saga, meaning the swamp cooler up on top of our house is leaking water into our house. This has been happening for about three years. I've had technicians come out two or three times. I've had swamp cooler repair guys come out. Like, nobody knows what's going on. So, I'm just doing my best here with this fella. Great talk. Great talk. Free food. Free childcare. Cookies and Cheetos. What kind of operation are we running here? Dessert first. Delicious. So, that's happy. Yeah. Hey, I want a Cheeto. Hold on. What is it? Johnny, you pulled it off, man. This is amazing. Can't wait for the talk. Can't wait for the talk. Good food. And cheers, everybody. And pull it out of my back pocket here. Avery? Avery? You don't mess around. All right, let's go listen. So, the talk just wrapped up. I'm just stepped aside a little bit. The Q&A is just wrapping up as well, I believe. I hear some clapping. Basically, why are we here? Why are we on YouTube? Hopefully, we're here for entertainment. But more importantly, to make ourselves better. To communicate with each other. To share ideas. Share opinions. But dialogue. Go back and forth. That's why I have the question of the day. That's why I always encourage people to comment below. To share your ideas. Like, don't be afraid. As long as it's not spam. Not spam. No spam. All right? So, FJ, you rocked it. And it really connects well to YouTube and how we're trying to share our stories with each other. Share ideas with each other. And hopefully, create friendships that are not on the digital continent but are in the real world, okay? So, we're listening. We're listening. We're coming into communion with each other by coming to a talk tonight. But then, and on, yes, I'll say it. And on YouTube. But then, we take that next step and we're able to connect with each other in the real world. Over a coffee. Over a beer. And I have dreams to go to the UK because we've got a lot of viewers in the UK. And over to Europe. Cofuzzi in Chicago. Fabio in Italy. Anyway, all you guys, you know who you are. So, anyway, I'm going back to the party now. Great talk, FJ. Amazing. But let's strive for more communion with each other. All right? All right, I'm getting off. Okay, rolling. I need to give a shout out to Meredith. Love you. Met her when I was getting our, putting our raffle tickets in the bowl. She watches the vlog. Say hello back to you and her sister Megan. Oh, and Lincoln. We love you. Ciao. Ciao. All you beautiful people. Thank you for coming to the BLOG today. FJ, amazing talk. I have no idea. How did you do that with no notes? That was incredible. That was an incredible talk. Great talk. All right, everybody. You know the drill. See beauty. See beauty. Work hard. Love each other. And we will see you. See you. Right back here. On YouTube.


Semantic segmentation is the understanding of an image at the pixel level, that is we want to assign an object class to each pixel in the image. In this figure, with the motorcyclist, apart from recognizing the bike and the person riding it, we also have to delineate the boundaries of each object. Using object detection and semantic segmentation together, we get instant segmentation.


In the previous product finding videos, we learned about the six criteria for finding a good product to sell. We also learned about how to find successful Shopify dropshipping stores and we learned about the best dropshipping suppliers to work with to ship out our items really quick and have excellent superb customer service along the way. Now this video is going to be an exciting one. How to find the best and most profitable dropshipping products to sell on our stores that are trending today products that don't have a lot of competition and have a high profit margin. One way to find dropshipping products is by seeing what's working well for other people with Shopify dropshipping stores. I showed you one example a couple of lessons ago and now I'll show you more. And another way to conduct product research is simply by seeing what's going well on the market without researching specific Shopify dropshipping stores. And with that you'll get the best trending products that are selling today. So let's begin. Remember how I mentioned a couple of lessons ago that there are a few methods to find Shopify dropshipping stores. Some of those methods include using Facebook ads, using a site called myip.ms to search Shopify dropshipping websites. Let's use that Facebook ads example and try to find something through there. Now one way to do it is using that extension called myadfinder or by manually searching Facebook for ads. If you guys don't recall any of this, I highly suggest to restart the product research videos because you guys need to understand the first part in order to move on to this one. Okay. So let's begin. We're going to manually search Facebook for free shipping, which is one of the texts that I told you guys that you will find ads through this manual search. So let's go with this one, free shipping when you shop now. It got 1.9 million views. It looks very viral. So what we're seeing here is a pooper scooper for your pets, for your dogs. And if we click on see more, you can see the product description that he wrote for this product. And here you can see that it's a very viral post. It has about 9,500 likes and five and a half thousand comments. If we click on that, we can see just how viral it is. And if it's still trending in the last few days, we don't want to go for a product that was popular six months ago or one year ago. We want a product that's popular now. So one way to do it is to check the engagement in the post itself. So I click to see the comments. And instead of seeing the most relevant comments, I want to see the newest comments. This way I'll see if this product is still trending today. And as we can see, I'm going to click on view more comments. We have comments one day ago, six days ago, one week ago. So this product is still trending. This guy is probably selling this product. So let's move on to the next step. We'll click on his website. And here's the pooper scooper website. Now there are a couple of ways to see where he's getting these products from. If they're selling and what other websites are selling this very product to check out the competition, you've probably already guessed it. But one method is using that koala inspector extension that I showed you guys a couple of lessons ago. So just open up the extension, click on find retailers. And you'll get a list of other websites that are selling this product. But as you can see, it's only Shopify website. So you can check the competition, but it didn't give me the information that I was looking for on where this guy is sourcing his product from. So using koala inspector is one tool. But the other tool that I want to talk to you guys about is using a reverse image search. By the way, if you haven't noticed, I'm teaching you guys how to conduct product research and spy on stores and do all these things using techniques that don't cost you guys any money at all. I know that it's really tough to start. Everything is on a budget. I'm giving you guys the best tools absolutely for free because I want to show you guys that anybody can do this. All you need is the willingness to learn a computer and a Wi-Fi connection. You can have successful Shopify stores generating sales and profit without spending a dime on your product research. You can use paid tools to research the market, but I'm showing you guys that it's still possible without spending a dime. And you can still have successful stores that generate sales and profit. Once you start generating sales and profit, start putting in your budget on other things, on better marketing and paid apps and paid tools. But first, learn to succeed on a budget. After that, you'll be able to do pretty much anything you want. So moving back, reverse image search. All you have to do is right click on the image and click on search Google for image. Now Google will show you all of the websites that have this picture in them. So as you can see, we have Facebook. That's probably where we saw the post. You have the KotaScooper.com website, which is where we were at KotaScooper. We got best friend brand, which is probably one of the competitors. Let's go to the next page. Organics Pet, another competitor. The KotaScooper is also putting it on Pinterest. So so far I found competitors, but I couldn't find the source. This is why you need to know about multiple techniques in order to get the answers that you guys are looking for. So we easily found way more competitors than the Koala Inspector showed me, but I still want to know the source. So another way to do it is simply by going into Amazon because it's one of the biggest retailers in the world. Here we're going to just make a basic search for PooperScooper, even though that's not what they called it. Well, this competitor called it PooperScooper, but this guy is calling it KotaScooper. So the main search term for this product is PooperScooper. So once I search for it, you see these products. It's not related to the one that we just saw, but we're just going to keep scrolling until we find the item or something that's related to it. So let's just go to the next page and here we go. Look at this portable PooperScooper. Now let's look at this product and look at the original product. You guys agree with me that it's the same product, just probably in different colors. And if you scroll down and look at similar products, you can probably even find this product in a cheaper version. Check out this one, $14.66 and it's got cooler colors. So you can find the item very, very easily by creating a reverse image search and seeing the competition and maybe even finding the source or by simply searching Amazon or other suppliers that I talked to you guys about earlier. You can try Banggood or Etsy or Walmart. And once you find the product, you can see how much profit these guys are making. So if we're buying it for $14.66, this guy is selling it for $109. This guy doesn't have a currency converter, which is not user friendly, but I'm just going to convert this for you guys, $109.75 divided by $3.4. So this guy's selling it for roughly $32 and you can buy it for less than half that price. That's how much profit he's making. He's making about $15, $16 or $17 a pop, which makes this a profitable product. And in order to see if this guy is selling the product, all you have to do is use that Koala Inspector as you know, open up the inspector, see best sellers. And as you can see, here's the variation. He is selling it and it's a one product store. He's not selling anything else. So we used Facebook ads. We found a viral ad that's still relevant that has comments within the past few days. We went inside this guy's website and we can see that he's still selling it. We were able to see that there's other competitors, but not too much. So there is enough room to put this product on our shops and sell it. And we were able to find his source where he's buying the product from and how much he's paying for it. It's a rough estimate. It's different colors, but it's the same product. And I always advise to never copy and paste any one of your competitors, not the pictures, not the titles, not the descriptions, everything needs to be your own. So it's a good thing that we found different colors and different variations for this product. So we talked about using the reverse image search. We talked about using the Koala Inspector. Both of them can show you the sources and the competition for the products that you are looking at. Now I want to talk about another method of finding good products that are trending now. You will find a lot of best sellers this way. And this method doesn't have to do with spying on other people's stores. This method is called going to Amazon's Movers and Shakers. What is Amazon's Movers and Shakers, you ask? Let me show you. Go to Google, search for Amazon Movers and Shakers. And here we go.  So there's nothing more trending than this. There's nothing more updated than this. Every hour they're refreshing with the most trending products. So you can catch the waves way before anyone else. There are many categories to look at. You guys need to know which products you should sell and which products are not meant for dropshipping. For example, Amazon devices and accessories, you probably can't sell them, but it's better to not. It has Amazon all over it. Arts, crafts, and sewing is a great category for dropshipping, baby products, but just be careful with the choking hazard. Cell phones and accessories, you can find some impulsive products over there. In clothing, there's a whole bunch of products that you can also find for dropshipping, but there's the whole dimensions and the sizes, which can get confusing. So you shouldn't start with the clothing. You can try groceries. Some dropshippers are doing it, but I wanted to tell you guys to the best and most trending categories. In home and kitchen, you're going to find a lot. Kitchen and dining is also great. Home and garden, all of these categories, patio, lawn and garden. Pet supplies is great. Sports and outdoors, tools and home improvement. These are the best categories for dropshipping. You can always find impulsive items over there. Let's just click on any of them, patio, lawn and garden. And here's the number one movers and shakers in patio, lawn and garden. We're not going to go into politics when we're dropshipping. So stay out of politics. We're not going to sell products that cost between $200 to $750. So just start scrolling and see what products are trending in the last hour. And using that, you can do a reverse image search to see the competition, how many people are selling this product. And if there's enough room for you to enter. If there's over 10 pages of sellers on Google, forget about it. But if it's just a couple of pages, then there's more than enough room for you to get inside and gain some profits from that product. For example, let's check out this Guardians of the Galaxy pod. I've been seeing this all throughout this year. Let's right click on that one and search Google for the image. This product, by the way, is saturated, but it was just one example that I wanted to show you guys. Check out these grow lights for these plants. This looks unique. I haven't seen this product before. Let's see what else we can find. Those are also going really well right now because it's Q4 and it's the holiday season. And by the way, we have blogs for the best products that you need to sell in every occasion, including Christmas. I also spoke about inflatables in that blog just so you guys know. So there's a lot of potential that I'm seeing over here. And so use Amazon movers and shakers to find products, not from people shop if I drop shipping stores in a different method to see what's trending in the past hour and in the past 24 hours, find the competition, see where there's not a lot of competition and get those products to your store. Now, those are the methods that I want to talk about, but now you guys have a very important assignment. Remember how a few lessons ago I told you to download a product research spreadsheet? Now you're going to have to use it. Your assignment before heading on to the next lesson, and this one is going to take you guys some time, which is a good thing because you guys need to understand that product research needs to take you time. The more you work on it, the more secret gems you're going to find. If you think 10 minutes of work are going to find you your next bestseller, you're completely wrong, just like most other dropshippers. Now let's take it to the next level, put in some real work, and then you'll see some real results. So your assignment before heading on to the next lesson is to open that product research spreadsheet. Here we go. Now what I want you guys to do is to only fill in two columns for now. Those two columns are the product column and the source column. What you need to do now is to start researching the market using the tools that I provided you in this lesson and in the past couple of lessons to find Shopify dropshipping stores, see what's selling inside those stores using Koala Inspector, use Amazon Movers and Shakers to find more trending products, use the reverse image search to see more competition and sources that are selling those products to see that there is enough profit for you guys to get inside and that there is not a huge fierce competition for that product. So what I want you guys to do now is simply fill in the product and the source. Let's do the example of the product that we just saw. Here it is, the Pooper Scooper. So this is a good product with not a lot of competition and the profit margin is at least 50% if not more. So let's add this product. All you have to do is simply take the product's name. I'm not going to use this name because that's the name of the seller. Portable Pooper Scooper with bag. Copy that name into the product. And in the source, simply fill in the URL, copy the URL, paste it inside the source. So that's how you fill in one product for now. We're not going to touch the rest of the columns. That's going to be in the next video. Your assignment is to fill in 25 rows of products with the product's name and the product's link, product name, product link, 25 times, using all of the methods that we talked about. So that's all regarding product research for this video. In the next video, we're still going to learn a few more things about product research, and with that, we're going to sum it up. We still have so much more things to do. We need to create our stores. We need to market our stores. We need to get our first sales. So 25 products, work hard on them. See you in the next video.

An ex-Alaska Airlines pilot accused of trying to cut the engines of a passenger flight while off duty and riding in an extra seat in the cockpit was released from jail pending trial. After an Oregon judge approved it with conditions that include keeping away from aircraft, the Multnomah County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Ryan made the decision as Joseph Emerson pleaded not guilty to reduced charges of reckless endangerment. He previously faced attempted murder charges, Emerson, of Pleasant Hill, California, has also pleaded not guilty to a federal charge of interfering with a flight crew. The judge in that case also agreed that he could be released pending trial. The release conditions include that Emerson undergo mental health services, stay away from drugs and alcohol, and not come within 30 feet of an operable aircraft. His bail was set at $50,000 and he had to post 10% of that, or $5,000, to be released. Yes, absolutely. Does Mr. Emerson deserve to be home today with his family and surrounded by his friends? Yes, he does. I'm saddened that this situation had to happen to my husband and to these people that it affected, but I know that this has created a movement and momentum to help thousands of other pilots and people in mental health situations, in jobs that are, in a sense, silenced or it's disincentivized to go get help and care that they need.
