It's one of those situations where Vince McMahon, he's been in the business for so long that he feels like he has an idea of what is a mega star out there or a superstar out there and he feels like he knows who will grab that brass ring and be at the top and he feels like he knows who will just be role players. But a lot of times, especially in recent years, he's been wrong on that. He's been wrong on that a lot. We've all had that conversation and we felt Vince doesn't really know what fans really want to see in modern day wrestling. Maybe back in the day his ideas and stuff worked for that time period but choosing superstars that he feels like will be mega stars, he kind of doesn't have that nuance anymore. He kind of picks who he feels like in his head should be mega stars and the fans usually end up rejecting those individuals. So we're going to check out the moments where he expected them to just be some J.A.G.s and they ended up being way more than that. So this should be a good one. Appreciate all love and support man. Let's get right into this one. Vince McMahon has a habit of judging a book by its cover. Throughout his career, McMahon has decided whether he likes a wrestler based on his first impression of them. That wrestler then works extra hard to win over McMahon and thankfully the names on this list managed to do just that. The wrestler put in a ton of effort to truly get over with the audience and then they combined this with excellent in-ringing, carrying to work and slowly but surely McMahon realizes that he was wrong. Joining us now is WrestleMania, looks at 10 WWE wrestlers of Vince McMahon. You know Vince don't like to be wrong. He does not like to be wrong at all. Also check out our new channel, WrestleMania Shorts. Subscribe to WrestleMania if you haven't already. McMahon always had that connection with the audience and I never really saw that before he came here. I thought boy we're never gonna hire that guy but he did. He had that connection and very few people have that. 9. Shawn Michaels Yeah man he was wrong. He was wrong and Mick Foley has become one of the goats of the wrestling world. People love and respect Mick Foley for all he's done for the business and once again you shouldn't judge a book by its cover especially in wrestling because you never know who ends up getting over with the fans. Vince McMahon and Shawn Michaels have had a great deal of respect and admiration for each other but this wasn't always the case when they needed new main event stars in the mid 90s and HPK was suggested McMahon was firmly against the idea. Which is crazy. A man didn't think HPK had what it took to reach the next level in WWE and one of the reasons why McMahon had a personal issue with him was due to his size. WWE executive Bruce Prichard would discuss this on an appearance on Sam Roberts podcast. This is what he had to say. There's a lot of situations where we pitched big sweeping just simple things like Shawn Michaels is a baby face.  And he didn't see it and then after WrestleMania 11 Vince gets in the car and says God damn it guys. We have a baby face on our hand. Why am I the only one that sees this? Yep that sounds about right. And Pat and I are looking to bring that idea up ever again. And it was crazy. Right. But I just got Pat especially and Pat was probably the first one that actually made the statement I could see Shawn Michaels as WWF champion. Wow. Did he get his head torn off for it? Oh yeah. Wow. Vince the WWF champion at that time. Number eight. And he was wrong. Shawn became that guy even though he started really believing into his hype and his ego started running wild back then obviously with you know substances he was you know taking and stuff like that but still Vince was wrong and he's one of the greatest to ever wrestle so. Gunther. When Gunther was called up to mean roster it was a logical concern from fans that Vince McMahon wouldn't get Gunther's character during the start of his run it looked like McMahon was a fan however a report then surfaced from WrestleVotes who indicated that McMahon was not a fan of Gunther backstage and he wanted to bury Gunther with immediate effect. Thankfully for Gunther this was around the same time in which McMahon was getting set to take a leave of absence and there were even reports that the claims of McMahon hating Gunther were exaggerated. Nevertheless it was clear that Gunther eventually won over McMahon and it was reported months later that he was impressed with Gunther's in-ring work. His presentation throughout 2023 has been a clear indication that McMahon is now firmly a Gunther fan. Oh yeah and in Triple H as well he plays a big part in that we were all scared of what they were going to do with him but it's worked out tremendously thank goodness they didn't bury him because he's one of the best on the roster. Number 7 LA Knight. Yeah. WWE fans were left utterly speechless when popular NXT star LA Knight made his debut on the main roster. Oh man. Yeah. And he would become a manager for the maximum male models who supported that Vince McMahon had a lack of faith in LA due to his age so subsequently made the call to make him a manager. This was a terrible fit for LA Knight and the call was eventually made for LA to revert to his prior persona. Yes. When the McMahon clearly had a negative impression of LA Knight upon his main roster debut this has thankfully changed and it's since been reported that McMahon has had a change of heart when it comes to one of WWE's fastest rising stars. He's the most over person in WWE right now. I think it's even more Cody gets a consistent you know pop when his music hits and stuff like that. J gets a consistent pop definitely Sammy still does but LA Knight is just something different bro when he comes out the crowd there the crowd's there to see LA Knight bro. So they're hanging on his every single word. He is the epitome of a 90s attitude here wrestler and I'm all here for it with the promos and everything man I'm here for it and I'm so glad that they got rid of his original gimmick on the main roster and they let him be himself for the most part and it is done wonders for him. Number six Daniel Bryan Yep he needs to be on this list too. Vince McMahon doesn't traditionally like in a WWE star when he first started in WWE it was made perfectly clear that McMahon didn't get Bryan and when Bryan had his first WWE match on NXT against Chris Jericho who McMahon reportedly had a less than positive response to Bryan's work in the match. When Jericho came through the curtain following the match all McMahon had to say was less than positive remarks in relation to Bryan being vegan. Bryan's popularity would eventually skyrocket and McMahon had no choice but to place him in the main event scene. This slowly but surely changed the relationship between the two men and when Bryan initially retired back in 2016 footage from a behind the scenes documentary showed how hard it hit McMahon when Bryan departed WWE in 2021. Of course state that McMahon loved Bryan. He would reflect on his relationship with McMahon during an interview at an AEW All Out media scrum. I hate to say this, Vince and I have a great relationship and I love him, I do. Sometimes he's overprotective of me and I want to be able to push my limits. That's one of the things that I love about this is the physicality of what we do out there. Number four. He didn't burn bridges with WWE. He knew, of course he knew that Vince didn't think he would be where he is now, a mega star essentially and it was one of those things Vince had to see it to believe it. Vince had to see the constant yes chance. Vince had to see the fans taking over the show. Vince had to see the social media presence of everyone saying Daniel Bryan is the guy Vince had to witness Boutista Vince had to witness people going crazy. It became bigger than just wrestling. People are doing the yes chance outside of wrestling. Vince hadn't seen something like that. In a long time. And it was cool that they, you know, he realized what he had and he did what he could for the guy, the guy made of any WrestleMania, bro. They ain't, they ain't nothing more you can, you can ask for it. The guy is main event in WrestleMania multiple time champion. He's, he's done it all he has. He vences definitely and looked out for him and supported him. You can tell. So that's why it's one of those things where honestly, I just, you know, I love Brian Danielson, man. And I, it's, it's the thing is, but they got him doing an AEW. There needs Vince was the guy to tell him to slow down. Vince was the guy to tell him, hey. He, he, he, like he said in that clip, he's very protective. He's protected because he knows he knows there's money to be made with him and if he keeps going at the rate he's going constantly getting injured because he's out there, no one's telling him that you may want to sit out. You may want to kind of switch it up because you, you're getting injured. And the type of matches he having, they, they're shorting his career, his wrestling career at least.  You want to do some of these stiff wrestling moves and spots, but you've got to be careful out here. Someone has to be able to tell him no. And Vince was the guy to tell him no, and he was still able to have some great matches in WWE. So don't know if he'll ever come back. I don't even know if he'll be able to come back at the rate he's been going at in AEW with all the injuries. But hopefully we'll see how things will happen. But that opportunity, that bridge has never been burned. And I don't think it ever will be. And I'm sure he'll probably make one more appearance back in WWE, man. Randy Orton. Randy Orton is considered to be a true legend within WWE. So not even a case or question on the roster when they were considering signing or McMahon was against the idea due to Orton's issues when he was in the military. I'm going to get Jim Ross on his podcast. He informed McMahon that he should give Orton a second chance. And thankfully, McMahon did. That's crazy early on in his WWE career. But he eventually matured and became a legitimate staff of the company. For over two decades, Orton has become a key fixture on WWE programming, and it's been made clear thanks to interviews and behind the scenes documentaries. Just how much respect McMahon has attained for the WWE icon. And it's one of those things where it's like, yo, imagine him not hiring Randy Orton because he looked at his bass. Imagine we wouldn't have the legend killer. That's and this is just one of those things where it's good that there's some people out there that, you know, see things from a different perspective than Vince. Because if it's just Vince perspective, we don't have a lot of stars then. But because other people say something and mention something, it may it changes potentially his decision. Number four, Samoa Joe. That man has a preference when it comes to the appearance of his talent. This is the case when that fan first saw Samoa Joe. And according to Bruce Prichard, Joe didn't have the body type in which McMahon liked. So initially, he opted against signing Joe. When WWE eventually did sign him, naturally, there was some concern from fans that McMahon's prejudice was going to continue. And Joe used as nothing more than enhancement talent. Thankfully, over time, Joe was able to show McMahon what he was made of. McMahon booked Joe in Chiangles, such as Roman Reigns and a critically acclaimed few with Brock Lesnar. Joe is even rumored to win the WWE title at one stage. And whilst this never came to fruition, it was evident that McMahon had become a fan of the Samoan submission machine. Number three, not enough to put the title on him. Unfortunately, that's that's he may have become a fan of having him being some high profile moments, but not enough to pull the trigger. And that sucks, just that's one of the worst travesties in WWE history. Samoa Joe not being the WWE champion. The Miz. The Miz's first appearance on Raw was so bad that he genuinely thought he was going to be fired. Yeah, this came out on Raw to promote the Divas search. And it was apparent that Miz was so nervous that he messed up the majority of his promo and Miz walked backstage and counted Vince McMahon and informed McMahon that this type of performance will never happen again. Ominously, McMahon replied, I know it won't happen again. Mrs. Carter was parked on that point onwards and he worked endlessly to build up trust with McMahon, which he eventually did. He's a few years after his infamous raw appearance would be catapulted into the main event scene. And he would eventually win the WWE title in 2010. Yeah. The Miz in modern WWE is considered to be one of the most reliable talents around. And if they had a media appearance that needs fulfilling, Miz will likely be at the top of the list when it comes to who McMahon wants to represent the company. Oh, yeah. Now, he's put a lot of trust in the Miz and some people may have their criticism of the Miz, but I will say this. He's been very consistent. He's loyal to WWE through and through. And he's put in the work to get to where he's at. It's going to be very interesting to see what they do with him and Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. I do think we may have something special here. I don't think he's going to be the guy to take the title from them. But I do think we're going to get something particularly special here. And I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with Miz and Gunther. Going forward to Chris Jericho. A few years before Chris Jericho became the first undisputed champion in WWE, Vince McMahon had a rather negative opinion of Jericho. Just a month or so into Jericho's run in WWE, McMahon believed that Jericho was the drizzling. That's called a number of wrestlers complaining about Jericho's in-ring work. Jericho discussed McMahon's opinion of him during an episode of Talk is Jericho. And this is what he had to say. And I almost got fired about a month in because Vince said, you know, the problem is I got called into a meeting with Vince Jim Ross in Blackjack, Lanza, and Vince was like, you know, the problem with you is you're the drizzling. Damn, worth the paper your contract is printed on. It's like you're green as grass. Jericho was with McMahon over the time and the two still have a close bond to this very day with Jericho mentioning that he has McMahon's personal number. And if he was ever to text McMahon, we would get a response within five minutes and number one. And that's crazy. And that's very crazy to have McMahon's number. I'm sure a few of the talent that have garnered his respect have his number and they can easily call him and text him. And the fact and this is a different time period, y'all. People saying those type of things to like an employer now that may be some some paperwork potential or something someone exposing said boss or manager, especially, you know, just in this particular industry, but at the same time, it was all about that. That was Vince's way of motivating people. Either you was going to figure it out or you was going to be out the door. Vince didn't really.  It works in his favor. All right, cool. So that's how he motivated you.  But guess what? It Jericho figured it out. And he's one of the greatest to ever be in WWE. He figured it out. And that's you can take just a little piece of that and apply that in life, man. You may end up getting a no, but that don't mean you need to stop and give up on what you're trying to pursue. One person may tell you, no, that same person months down the line after seeing some progress, seeing your dedication and hard work may end up saying yes, or somebody else with bigger opportunities may say yes to you. AJ Styles, one of the most exciting debuts in WWE history came at the 2016 Royal Rumble. For show. Finally arrived in WWE and everyone was excited. Yep. That is with the exception of Vince McMahon. AJ Styles got the hell out of it. That was a funny answer. It's an appearance on the My Love letter to the rest of the podcast. McMahon had no idea who he was. He thought the rumble crowd ovation was a fluke. He clearly had low expectations when it came to styles and styles himself admitted that he expected McMahon to place him in the midcard. But styles during an interview with Dirt Fork would discuss where McMahon changed his tune and became a fan of the phenomenal one. He didn't think too much of AJ Styles, but the turning point where Vince really saw something in me when I had a regular match, a baby face match, went out there and did my thing. I came back to gorilla and Vince says, come here for a second. I've got other guys who can do exactly what you just did out there. You didn't do anything special. I need a pit bull. I need a guy who just attacks. I need a guy who gets after it. I said, well, I know that guy. I know exactly who that guy is. And there was the opportunity to be on this TV and I handled it just like I was ready to eat this guy's lunch. I think the way that turned out was the turning point for Vince. The next thing you know after WrestleMania, I'm beating Chris Jericho and I'm the number one contender for the WWE Championship against Roman Reigns. We had a couple of fantastic matches. That was the turning point. That's when things change. And that's how I became the AJ Styles that you know now. But they have it, folks. Yeah. Back. And what did I just say? He literally came out there.  You need to go out there and show me something different.  That's what he did. His appearances, promos, everything. That's what he did. And that motivated him. And then he got catapulted to the main event scene. So the point I'm trying to make here is, like I said before, sometimes people may tell, you know, sometimes you may hear a response that you don't want to hear. That's not the end of it. All you need to do if you're really set on trying to achieve whatever you're trying to achieve, whatever goal you're trying to reach, push through, even when someone tell you, you know, or give you some harsh criticism. Take that in. Take it with a grain of salt. Do what you got to do, man. And you never know what can happen. So comment down below. Let me know some other wrestlers that Vince McMahon initially got wrong, but turned out to be some mega stars or turned out to be better than Vince even predicted himself if they weren't listed in this video already. But I appreciate all the support you guys showing on channel. I'm still going to speak to you to wrestle in the world. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See you on the next one. Peace.

So we are pushing hard hard hard. So I'm gonna talk about something today that I want to to bring up to you guys when it comes to I'm gonna give you a few things that I've learned about Promoting Because everyone's great at something right? I've always I've always grown up and thought you know what what am I good at? Everybody's great at something. I ask that question all the time when I meet people I'm like Hey, what are you great at?  He's ridiculous And he does some stuff that other people can't do, you know And matt He's got some sick graphic design skills We're all great at something and we can go all the way around the building about everybody's great at these Different things and and and I've always felt like from a sales perspective I'm great at closing getting people to make a decision Now from a marketing perspective, I've always felt like inside I was a promoter that I should be promoting things Now we are promoting conferences some of the things that I've learned about promoting An event that directly apply to the insurance business The first thing is price Doesn't matter Price doesn't matter People don't buy price when you come when you come to a conference like this to change your life You don't buy price man. It don't matter.  It's all about That and so price Does not matter whether you're selling insurance Face to face over the phone whether you're promoting an event whether you're doing these different things And we we're practically We're not about making money off of this event. We're about Having a lot of fun Bringing value back to the industry doing something freaking crazy Getting some attention helping some agents along the way all those things But I want you guys to realize that hey no matter what you're promoting or selling Price is irrelevant. I did this one time and I put this on I did a video on my car last When was that dj? When did that price doesn't matter video eight I was in miami when I got the when I got the call on the email So it was probably end of 2017 or the very beginning of 2018 either way about uh 10 months ago, we'll call it 10 months ago 10 months ago.  I want you know, it's all about getting attention, right? So They called and emailed and said hey most of our team don't even know this too. That's what's funny They're probably learning a new story here about something for the first time They called and said hey, you know what we we think that price is pretty important people buy insurance You know, they need to be able to afford it and price is really important and they're buying price You know all this stuff they're like, dude, we don't know that we we completely agree with your video You know as a compliance team You know, and I'm like dude as a compliance team. I shoot. I wouldn't agree either But I'm here to tell you price And I explained to them. Hey, you took the video out of context the video was about the video was about building a relationship Building the value and that whether it's 59 dollars or 62 dollars It doesn't matter Right and and and and as insurance agents we can sell one company or hundreds of companies and you're never always You can never always guarantee that you're always selling the Lowest priced option down to the penny every time you sell anything You can never truly guarantee it So that's why Price doesn't matter people don't buy things based on price People buy things based on hey, do they like you do they trust you do you care about them? And do they see value in what you have to offer? That's something I've learned even with promoting an event, you know I want to sell I wanted to sell tickets for like 100 bucks, man but the Reason why we couldn't Is right here It's all about building value You have to the prospect whoever's looking to make a decision has to see Value in what you're talking about what you're doing what you're selling The same thing that for you with your clients same thing can be said for me with this conference If I gave tickets away People wouldn't see the value in it Because we sell tickets And it's almost funny. I'm not saying to do this, but it's almost funny almost the higher of a price that you ask Almost the more perceived value is associated with that product or service. Am I right? No matter what if you sell something for 100 bucks and somebody else sells something for a thousand dollars, okay Which one hypothetically Which one would you assume Comes with more value The hundred dollar option or the thousand dollar option. We just got a brand new Crazy camera gimbal thing. I don't know what what do you call that thing guys Dylan D We just got it in the middle A zion crane two some crane that like you know balances the camera So it doesn't shake and you can run up and down and they can do back flips while while they're camera While they're while they're video recording it won't you know won't shake. That's cool that thing 600 bucks you just got it in from amazon today six seven hundred dollars Would you guys have bought it if it had been on amazon at 60 to 70 dollars? No, they're in here saying hey dude. We bought some we bought a camera gimbal for 600 plus And then if it would have been 60 we would not have done it So is it really price? No Nothing to do with price it has all everything to do with perceived Value of that product or service and in that example They knew that they were getting a solid product because it was Probably standard market price because it probably had some good reviews Value and because it wasn't super cheap. So when you're selling Don't shortchange yourself You're selling yourself people need to realize how amazing you are Its relationship its value. That's why when I run appointments as an insurance agent I sell I sell the result The experience The result the experience the features the benefits what what do I get by buying this So we exchange six hundred dollars for this piece of camera equipment that doesn't even record anything It just keeps a camera still and I'm like, dude, won't you guys just keep your arms still and stop shaking man? But you know what they're like, no, we'll just make it easy on us. Just buy this. Okay, cool So we bought this It's 600 bucks. Whatever it's going to keep the camera still and from shaking so From a direct result price did not matter. They could have said hey, it's 800 bucks freaking cares They built the value in it because they knew it would help us bring better content to the industry and produce better videos Fantastic like that's that's what we're all about And they knew that the results and the experience would be worth Whatever price we paid So no matter what People don't buy based on the price. I go to best buy because they always greet me We've spent probably in excess of a hundred thousand dollars at best buy this year people think that you know, he's lying You can ask the team. I'm telling you it's the freaking truth. It's riddle. It's it's it's it's it's crazy, but I know It's convenient. It's easy. They greet me. They're nice. They're friendly and it takes me about Four minutes to run and grab a computer and leave. I mean it's fast man.  It's like two miles away A lot of people shop online when they buy stuff I'm so impatient I can't wait two days for amazon prime That's probably why amazon's adding the whole drones and you know two hour delivery in certain cities and all this stuff People are impatient. It's all about convenience nowadays and they would pay more to have it now Rather than paying less to get it two days from now that is comes back to value And it comes back to the result And the experience the features and benefits which is why when I run an appointment step three of my four step appointment process Is presenting and closing and I always go over five benefits You guys have probably seen it on video five benefits with every single prospect every single time five different benefits and features of why They should do business with us and why clients and why prospects and clients and customers love the types of policies that we sell I don't ask them what they could afford It doesn't matter. I don't ask them What they want to pay? I don't ask them if they can afford 20 40 68 or 100 bucks Because I don't want people thinking about price the whole time trying to sell them something the price is irrelevant. It doesn't matter It solves a problem. So I've learned even more than all this that when you're selling You're doing what? Anytime a product or service is sold You are doing what? You are solving a problem My hand already keeps getting better every show. You see that Solving a problem no matter what it is at any time When someone sells something it solves a problem We bought this piece of equipment for a camera because it solved the problem Of a camera moving around and shaking and you know not giving fluid shots and all you know, whatever else That's this thing does But it solved a problem just like when you're selling insurance to a customer You're solving a problem Which is why my favorite question when I go from the warm up to the fact find every single time Is hey, this Betty. Thank you so much for allowing me in your home. We're already getting along really great I'm enjoying this. Hey, tell me this Betty What got you thinking about this?

That didn't work out quite as well. That combo's finally, we hit the conversion, and we convert it even farther. But look at the damage, yo, if you think Yamcha's not sick. Oh, my boy. Oh, no, no, no, I dropped it. That was so sick. How's it going, everybody? Datodoy here with another round of Dragon Ball Fighter's ranked matches. This time we're back with our old main team, Krillin, Super Saiyan, Goku, Yamcha. And I'm playing this team specifically because we don't know what the future holds. Season two, big announcements right around the corner. And I think this is actually the same guy that deranked me. So this is going to be super interesting. This is a great ender. And I think that's the same way he deranked me. Oh, why did I go for the reflect classic misstep? Tinkohan actually has those corner combos. We'll see where we go. Snapax, he's got the setups. Nice. Oh, I clicked a button, not expecting the kicks. Um, snapback. Yep, yep, yep. Now we're going to try vanishing here. Ah, I tried clicking a button. I got to hold that. You have to hold those snapbacks. I'm actually a big fan of how he's looping this with Tinkohan. There we go. We knew that we knew the grab was coming. There was there was only so many options left in the day. Right. That's why you don't want to push stuff with Yamcha, not on small characters. All right, we're going to go ahead and get Krillin back out here. Oh, big pickup. That's actually going to be the end of. Yeah, that's the end of Tinkohan. Wow, OK, we made it out of the snapback loop. I admittedly go hunt. Tinkohans isn't the strongest, but I was playing really, really poor.  Oh, OK, very lucky there. Oh, we didn't go for the option to continue offense. He wanted to jump back. Respectable down tech. Oh, no, we didn't get it. All right, guard cancel. The recovery on these beams, though, you're committed for life. No, no tech on that one. Didn't think he'd hit me with that option again so early. You got to sell out. My mind goes straight to he's going to want to continue this. Level three hard knockdown. Considering we already have him down a character, I don't think I want to. Why did I click a button? I was going to say, I don't think I want to waste sparking on Super Saiyan Goku. He does have a really good assist, and he's just really good as a character. Why did I run up and click jab? OK, we're doing this specifically so that we can get these snapback loops. Oh, he got away. Oh, and I clicked a button. He got away and I clicked a button. Nice. Probably should have kept them. Probably should have just went with the normal combo there, honestly. That's fine. Oh, that's not fine. There we go. Nice to see you. No, come on, dude.  OK, that's a generous man. I think he did that on purpose. Oh, yeah, let me see those pearly whites. If you ain't guarding, I'm going to take that all day. Oh, Mr. Jab. That was a bad choice. You notice I didn't go for the sliding there. I wanted to save some bar. Oh, come on, let me in. Let me in. All right. That's what I want to see. This is just bad offense. OK, hard knockdown. Krillin has great level three oaky. So we really want to try to take advantage of that. I didn't take advantage of it. Oh, boulder crush. Oh, OK, we're sparking. All right. He has sparking anyway, so we're just going to make sure that we get as much blue health as we can. Overhead. Oh, yes, come here, come here. Kill. No, no kill. No kill. We're going to have to do with the old natural way, Oh, but even in that situation, Krillin's too heavy will work. Yeah, I might got a short arm, but it'll do the job in a pinch. Why not play the beam game? No, no, I let my guard down. That's probably the knockout. That's definitely a knockout. Oh, truly, I hate to see that kind of thing happen. I wasn't confident in my beam game. Wasn't confident enough. Wasn't confident. And in the end, ended up playing a bad hybrid of the two. Oh, did you see that, though? Come on, that was clean. Oh, that sucked for me. Are we in it already? Oh, we out. All right, knock down. Take that every time. Block the uppercut. No uppercut. Oh, that was kind of sick. I didn't expect him to go straight into the slide. Did we spark here? Did we spark here? Probably, right? He's got the hard knockdown. It's really early in the game. You don't want to lose that tempo like this. It's an easy choice. All right, you know what? I changed my mind. I was just going to go with the sliding. Give me Team Gohan. Over at Yamcha? Oh, beautiful. We're freestyling. Everybody knows we're freestyling, right? There's not any concern about what's going on here. Oh, there's the super dash I've wanted so badly. Let me go. There we go. That's exactly what I was looking for in that situation, baby. Oh, get off of me. I saw that one coming too. Why didn't I stick with the classic? Why didn't I just stick with the classic 2M into a down key blast? Oh, he is getting anxious out here.  He's, there he is. He's panicking. That's, I don't think one bar's going to kill, but I got to give it a shot. Got to do it twice. You know if it works once, I'm going to hit it twice. OK, I'm feeling good this match. Did you see this? Hm? Hm? Oh, the 2H wasn't fast enough. Beautiful angle on that beam. Got to give it up. Back dash on that. Yep. It's not safe against cell, but 2H isn't safe there either. Finally, we get a right reflect call. There we go. Right into that. Oh, he blocks that seriously. What's with the lag? Beautiful. He didn't want to get, he didn't want to get red and in the end. And in the end, that didn't even matter. You should have popped that sparking, baby. Whew. That was a good match. That was a good second one. If it didn't go like that, our hope might have been lost, to be honest. All right. Heading into game three. You serious, bro? Come on, bro. What happened? Was it the lag? No, it couldn't have been. The first game had bigger lag than that. Yeah, I'm actually kind of heartbroken. Those were some good games. Oh, don't do me like that. You deranked me last time. Oh, we got another match right away. OK, maybe he had some personal things going on. You never truly know. But damn, does that hurt? You could have at least threw up a stamp. Could have thrown up a stamp for a homie, man. No stamp? Yowza. Dude, I'm a human being. Dramatic fanatic. I kind of like that name. Nervous around girls, same. Living legends, same. Ping square, same. Dude, me and this guy could be brothers. And we both run Super Saiyan Goku. I mean, who doesn't? But in this day and age, who doesn't run Super Saiyan Goku? Oh, man, I'm so sad. Those were good games. All right, well, obviously we can't do a first to three with this guy. The one hour season one finale special. We'll just do a first to two maybe. I don't know if that sounds fair to everybody. That's not hitting. What am I doing? Yeah, get off of your board. Oh, nice. I'm more disrespected that he's doing that. He just jumping to he just jumping medium me and then just said, yeah, he's going to he's going to keep blocking. And he was right. There we go. That could have gone horribly wrong. Yeah, yeah. You guys remember how last game I said he was getting a little too antsy? That's me right now, dude. I'm living that life. Krillin's dead here. Unfortunately, we lose him super early and Gohan's coming. Yikes. Talk about a bad situation, right?  Gohan comes in level one. This is a classic. Yikes. And now we're playing defense. Oh, I tried to pop a reflect right there, but I just panicked and missed it. All right, we're going to down tech. There we go. Free. At least for now, right? All right, there we go. Sliding knockdown in the corner. We shouldn't respect the uppercut here simply because it's too early. He shouldn't have popped that even if he could. Nice level three knockdown, exactly what the doctor ordered. What do you guys think? Is this a sparking term, one kind of guy? Or is this a wake up and block kind of guy? Reflect that. Oh, no. Oh, no. Easy switch out. Yep, yep, yep. I agree, I agree. All right, mission objective, get Gohan back in. Mission complete, baby. That's what you like to see. All right, come on, get there, get there, get there. Oh, that sucked. The range on the jab just wasn't all that. Oh, we didn't take out Gohan either. This won't kill. All right, that was a little ambitious, but I could kind of respect the vision, dude. Overhead, nice. Keep it simple, keep it classic. Oh, he was getting, he was getting antsy. I think he did a full auto combo if my eyes aren't. All right, there we go. Blow him away with the Kamehameha. Gets Goku out on that point position. Six bars to kind of play around with. Ooh, look at those dragon balls. Ah, what? No, oh, wow. OK, hold on. The curse of Datsudoe, every time I look at the dragon balls, I lose. Nice use of bar.  I still kind of want to, I need Shenron. I'm a sham. That's me. That's a heartbreaker, dude. That's me. Why am I, why am I like this? But why am I like this? It's because it gets results, baby. It's because it gets results. I need two bars. I need two bars and two more auto combos, and then the goal can be complete. Whoa, he's going crazy. He's going wild. OK, well, hmm, sparking. No, no tech for me. If he gets five bars, he can get, where did that meter come from, chief? Oh, he's really trying to get it. He got it. He got it, I think. Where did, did you guys see that meter? That was like, oh, he needs five bars. Immediately taxed me. That was crazy. That dude's meter jumped up like it was trying to be the first. I don't even have an analogy for that. That meter was just like, you got it, chief. How much bar you said you need? Excellent, I'm on the way. All right, well, we kind of did that to ourselves, trying to play a fake fighters. We went for Shenron. I do think, oh, Krillin, you're on the team. Kamili forgot about you. Because I stood up? Is that real? That's crazy if that's real. I ain't know that. Oh, nice uppercut. Really, he tested me. That was good stuff. The correct answer was to test me, because I was trying to test him. Oh, and he got me with a look. Vegeta blue. I don't think Vegeta blue is that good, but when you see him, when he starts doing those kicks and starts mixing you up with assist, I think he's kind of like Krillin. That's why I tied him with Krillin on my thing. Because really, he's like Krillin. I would have been beyond upset if that didn't work. All right, Krillin time. Okay, that was very close. Ah, two bars. You're gonna charge me extra for guac? Yeah, wild. The prices out here, dude, are insane. Oh, we play a patient game. We're that patient kind of guy. And Krillin. Ooh, I should have down-havied. No way, I even kind of felt that. I just missed the timing, darn. Is that gonna hit? He kind of took a little step up. Yeah, okay, that hits. Check's out, checks out. No way, that's not. That doesn't set you up for good. That was fake. That was even faker though. Over it, yes. In your darkest of times, you can still rely on cheese. You can still rely on that good old cheese strap. All right, now let's play some fighters. Hmm? Oh God, we're asking to die here. Oh, oh, that was almost it. That was almost it. Back dash. That's right, yamcha, come out, come out. Nicely done. All right, let's read it. It was the correct read, but the incorrect usage. Run away, run away, run away. Oh no, poor time to run away. We need yamchas, this too. Ah, I need it, I need it, I need it, I need it. Oh, nicely done. No, not nicely done. Oh my goodness, this has been a bad game. Okay, and you thought, you thought Okie with Vegeta Blue was good? Have you tried any Krillin Okie, sir? Huh? Imagine if that had hit though. Just imagine if that had hit, I would have felt like a genius. That was sick, I like Vegeta Blue's combos a lot. Imagine if that had hit, I would have felt like a genius. Oh no, turn around. You have to take in that situation, dude.  You have to take that, that was a brutal one. Hey, see, now this guy's a, now this is a stand up gentleman, dude. I try to read him. I try to read him. Two for the price of one. Come on down to KrillinTime.net. We drop, we drop, oh, but the drops just make it all the sweeter, baby. Who's got the sweetener? Oh, not me. Hey, but it is me though. I got the sweetener. All right, let's go with Yamcha just to spice things up. All right, nice. One hit actually killed. I thought it would take a lot more. Thus the sound effect. All right, run away. Yep, that's the strat, run away. Oh my goodness. That didn't work out quite as well. That combo's finally, we hit the conversion and we convert it even farther, baby. Look at the damage, yo. If you think Yamcha's not sick. Oh my boy. Oh no, no, no, I dropped it. That was so sick. I am such a fraud. Oh, I deserve that. No, no. Oh, oh, anti-air with Yamcha's cr- Oh, Yamcha, this is why this is my main team. This is why every character is good. Oh, no. Oh, no. Don't judge me too heavily in the comments. Don't judge me too heavily, but do feel free to judge me. Oh, we just taking turns doing crazy stuff now. That converts. Oh, no, no. We got those two. No, no. Oh no, dude. Yamcha kill. No, the one time you can't afford to drop that. How many dragon balls, dude? I just got to know how screwed I am. How, oh, why did I try to style on? Why did I make the classic mistake? Live it, live it, live it, live it. Ooh, where that kind of, I'm the online warrior you tell your children about to make sure they go to bed. Yamcha kill. Oh, this was dirty. This was a dirty couple of games.

Hi and welcome to the session. Today we will learn about bar graph. Bars of uniform width can be drawn horizontally or vertically equal spacing between them and then the length of each bar represents the given number. Such method of representing data is called a bar diagram of bar graph. For example, here is a bar graph where these are the bars with equal spacing between them and in this the length of the bars represents number of cars sold on these particular days. And here we are given the scale as one unit length is equal to five cars. So this is one unit length and this represents five cars. Now let's see the interpretation of a bar graph. We are supposed to answer few questions related to this bar graph by just looking at this bar graph. Then we can easily do that. For example, if we want to find out the day on which maximum number of cars are sold, then in the given bar graph we will look for the longest bar. So here this is the longest bar that means on Friday maximum number of cars are sold. So here our answer is now we want to find out the day on which minimum number of cars are sold. Now in this bar graph let's find out the smallest bar that is this one. So that means on Tuesday minimum number of cars are sold. So here we have Tuesday. Now we want to find out the number of cars sold on Saturday. So here in the bar graph the bar of Saturday corresponds to the number 25. So that means 25 cars are sold on Saturday. So our answer for this is 25 cars. So this is how we can interpret a bar graph. Now let's learn how to draw a bar graph. Let us understand this with the help of example. Here we are given the data of marks obtained by Rohan in four subjects that is English, Hindi, Math and Science. So let us draw the bar graph for this data. First of all let us draw a horizontal line and a vertical line like this. Now on horizontal line we will draw the bars representing each subject and on vertical line we will write the numerals representing marks. Now we need to decide the scale. So let's say one unit length represents ten marks. Now let us write the numerals on vertical line like this. Marks obtained by Rohan in English are forty. So let us draw the bar for English like this. Now marks obtained in Hindi are twenty five. So here we will draw the bar for Hindi. Now here is twenty and here is thirty. So twenty five will lie in between twenty and thirty. So this is the bar for Hindi representing twenty five marks. For maths marks obtained are fifty. So now we will draw the bar for maths. So this is the bar for maths representing fifty marks. And lastly marks obtained in science are thirty five. So this is the bar for science representing thirty five marks. So I hope you must have found it easy to draw the bar graph. With this we finish this session. Hope you must have understood all the concepts. Goodbye, take care and keep smiling.


Good afternoon everyone and welcome to this press conference on behalf of the International Monetary Fund I'm Jerry Rice of the communication department and the occasion Today is the release of our update to the world economic outlook I'm very pleased that we have with us today the managing director of the IMF Madame Christine Lagarde. We also have with us our economic counselor and director of the research department Gita Gopinath and just to Gita's left We have the deputy director of that department who is Gianmaria Melesi Ferretti So I'm going to ask the managing director to make a few opening remarks followed by Gita and Then we'll come to your questions. Thank you managing director Thank you very much Jerry and thank you and good afternoon to all of you It's very nice to to see many familiar faces and and good friends and to be back in Davos this year It also gives me huge pleasure actually To introduce to you if you hadn't met her before or didn't know her or of her our new chief economist Gita Gopinath We're delighted that she has joined us and we're all extremely pleased to work together And I'm really honored that we are sharing the the podium today for you I'm also very grateful to Klaus Schwab and to the world economic forum Who are giving us a chance to present the update to our world economic outlook? this year and It will be my privilege to say a few remarks without giving you much by worth numbers because that is the remit of Gita and Gianmaria, so How many of you do cross-country skiing here? No. Oh, thank you Brilliant because I want to run the analogy of cross-country skiing for you I'm not good at downhill, but cross-country. I'm okay.  You like good visibility No uncertainty What else do you like you like when it's kind of stable and Eventually when it's a little bit downhill You know risks down no hazards along the way Yeah third thing you really like as well when you're a cross-country skier is everybody skiing in the tracks Okay, now move that to the global economy for a second Last October assume we had started cross-country skiing in October. We downgraded our growth forecast a little bit Risks were on the rise We had bad news on the trade front if not actually materializing at least for some it was but certainly threats Well, I'm afraid that we are going to announce a further downward revision of our forecast So the cross-country skiing is going to be more laborious more efforts will be required The bottom line is that after two years of solid expansion The world economy is growing more slowly than expected and risks are rising But even as the economy Continues to move ahead as I said it is facing significantly higher risks some of them actually related to policy and this risks are Increasingly inter-twinned Think of our higher tariffs and rising uncertainty over future trade policy Fed into lower asset prices and higher market volatility This in turn contributed to tightening financing conditions Including for advanced economies Which is a major risk factor in a world of high-dead burden Now does that mean that a global recession is around the corner? No But the risk of a sharper decline in global growth has certainly increased Add to this the uncertainty the geopolitical worries and Disappointing long-term growth prospect and you have an economic Picture with a pretty clear message and the message is the following For policymakers address remaining vulnerabilities and Be ready if a serious slowdown were to materialize Now what does that mean for most countries? It means harnessing the existing growth momentum because yes, there is growth In order to create more policy room to act And the goal is to make sure that economies are more resilient. They are more inclusive and They move towards more collaboration. So let me distinguish each of these three More resilient in terms of policies. It means reducing high government debt Because that would open space that is needed to fight future downward But this must be done in a fair and growth friendly fashion Monetary policy should be data dependent and exchange rates should be allowed to act as shock absorbers Developing macro potential tools Will further financial sector stability and reduce potential vulnerabilities This also remains the time for economic reforms in order to lift growth especially in labor markets and Infrastructure investments. That's what I mean by resilient inclusive if we are to deliver on the promise of the digital revolution that will be much talked about in Terms of productivity in terms of employment and in terms of long-term growth Then we must make sure that it delivers for all people and That includes helping workers that are displaced as a result of transformations and automation It means creating new and better opportunities for women and In particular for young people. This is the theme that I will address in various form in the next few days resilient inclusive My third point is collaboration Effective international cooperation comes down to fairness to flexibility and to a commitment for the common good and that's where Solidarity also means self-interest. I will develop that theme in the next few days as well So what we need to do all policy makers all skiers Following the tracks We need to redouble our effort to resolve the shared problems that we are facing From fixing the global trade system. Yes, the G20 has called for that and it needs to be delivered upon to fighting corruption and tax evasion to addressing the existential threat of climate change What's in it for the IMF? What the IMF needs to be in a strong position in In order to help all countries because history suggests That's somewhere over there or the horizon They will be unsuspect unexpected developments The international community must come together to build a brighter future for all I've called this a new multilateralism and again, we will be developing that topic in the next few months as It applies to macroeconomic policies in all its dimensions and structural reforms as They need to be applied in many corners of the world Those were my messages. I'm going to disappear and leave the floor to our most eminent Economists starting with our chief economist Gita floor is yours. Thank you managing director Um, so I will flesh out a little more. What's in the outlook? while global growth in 2018 Remained close to post-crisis highs The global expansion is weakening and at a rate that is somewhat faster than expected This update of the world economic outlook projects global growth at 3.5% in 2019 and 3.6% in 2020 that is 0.2 and 0.1 percentage point below last October's projections Now the downward revisions are modest However, we believe the risks to more significant downward corrections are rising While financial markets and advanced economies appear to be decoupled from trade tensions for much of 2018 The two have become intertwined more recently tightening financial conditions and escalating the risks to global growth We have revised downwards are forecast for advanced economies slightly Mainly due to downward revisions for the euro area Within the euro area the significant revisions are for Germany where production difficulties in the auto sector and Lower external demand will weigh on growth in 2019 and for Italy where sovereign and financial risks and The interconnections between the two are adding to headwinds to grow The US expansion continues But the forecast remains for a deceleration with the unwinding of the fiscal stimulus Across advanced economies we foresee growth to slow from 2.3% in 2018 to 2% in 2019 and 1.7% in 2020 This softening growth momentum has provided little lift to inflation While core inflation is close to target in the US Where growth is above trend? It is significantly below target in both the euro area and Japan Economic activity in emerging and developing countries is Also projected to tick down to 4.5% in 2019 With a rebound to 4.9% in 2020 The projection for 2019 has been lowered from October Mainly because of a large projected contraction in Turkey Amid policy tightening and adjustment to more restrictive external financing conditions There is also a significant downgrade to growth in Mexico in 2019 and 2020 Reflecting lower private investment The projected rebound in 2020 is due to an expected recovery in Argentina and Turkey The outlook for emerging markets and developing economies Reflects the continued headwinds from weaker capital flows following the higher US policy rates and exchange rate depreciations Even though they have become less extreme Across emerging economies some of the pickup in inflation reversed towards the end of 2018 Overall the cyclical forces that propelled broad-based growth Since the second half of 2017 may be weakening somewhat faster than we expected in October Trade and investment have slowed Industrial production outside the US has decelerated and Purchasing managers indices have weakened flag flagging soft softening momentum While this does not mean we are staring at an imminent major downturn It is important to take stock of the many rising risks an Escalation of trade tensions and a worsening of financial conditions are two key sources of risk to the outlook Higher trade uncertainty will further dampen investment and disrupt global supply chains A more serious tightening of financial conditions is Particularly costly given the high levels of public and private sector debt in countries In other risks China's growth slowdown could be faster than expected especially if trade tensions continue And this can trigger abrupt sell-offs in financial and commodity markets as was the case in 2015 2016 in Europe the Brexit cliffhanger continues and The costly spillover between sovereign and financial risks in Italy remain a threat in The US a protracted federal government shutdown poses downside risks Given this backdrop Policymakers need to act now to reverse headwinds to growth and Prepare for the next downturn The main policy priority is for countries to resolve cooperatively and quickly their trade disagreements and the resulting policy uncertainty Rather than raising harmful barriers and further destabilizing and already slowing global economy The call of G20 leaders to reform the World Trade Organization in Buenos Aires must be accomplished Where fiscal space is low fiscal policy needs to adjust in a growth-friendly manner To ensure public debt is on a sustainable path while protecting the most vulnerable Monetary policy and advanced economies should continue to normalize carefully The major central banks are keenly aware of the slowing momentum and we expect they will calibrate their next steps in line with these developments Macroprudential tools should be used where financial vulnerabilities are building up and across all economies Measures to boost potential output growth and and enhance inclusiveness are imperatives Lastly given that policy space for countries is more limited than in 2008 Multilateral cooperation will be even more important in the event of a sharper decline in global growth and It is essential that multilateral institutions like the International Monetary Fund have adequate resources to deal with the rising risks Thank you Thank you very much. Kita. Let me turn to some questions in the room. If you could please identify yourself by name and affiliation then we will Try and take as many questions as we can Let me begin with lady down front Can you hold on for the microphone? Thank you very much. I'm Julie from iphone.com of China my question to Gita What's your expectation on residue and the its impact on the global economy and what's your suggestion to the leaders of EU and the Britain how to break the deadlock of residue if the second voting is failed. Thank you very much a No deal Brexit is one of the major risks to our forecast Our forecast incorporate Smooth transition that a deal is actually made And that there is a smooth transition to the new setup but if there is a disruptive Exit or that has continued uncertainty for many more months Both of those are going to weigh negatively on growth going forward And I think it is imperative for the leaders to resolve this uncertainty immediately Thank you Bloomberg in the second row here. You can wait for the mic Thank you very much Eric Martin with Bloomberg I wanted to ask about the modeling for some of the trade scenarios that you mentioned and The downside risks from the trade war in particular What would be the consequences for the global economy of an end to the current truce between the US and China on trade? We that would be an upside risk We had Listen to this very closely in the October wheel And sorry and end to the current truce that things worsen from where they are now. Oh, it's things worse in okay Well, then that would certainly be a worsening of the outlook the When we did a major update in last October following the trade tensions The assumptions were that the higher tariff rate On Chinese imports on sorry US imports from China the 25% higher rate would come into play So if On the plus side that that isn't the case Then that would be a positive upside risk But if in on the other hand if it is a much more serious deterioration In the trade tensions and that would be a much more significant downside risk Okay, I'm gonna swing down to the front lady in the front So they matter from the CNBC. Hello I have a question about China because we received the new GDP figures earlier this morning confirming the slowest growth rate since 1990 how worried about how worried are you about China and whether this will Transition into a wider global growth slowdown. Thank you The Chinese the numbers that we saw for China today are actually completely consistent With our focus so our estimate for 2018 Was 6.6% which is exactly where it came in So what that means is that we certainly not seeing any big rise in a faster pace of slowing down This is consistent with the level of maturity of the Chinese economy The rebalancing of China's economy and so this is you know, I would think of it as a positive Reinforcing of the fact that China's growth while slowing which is to be expected Nothing dramatic is being is happening at this point. Okay. Thank you very much I'm gonna take the other side of the room here. Yes, sir in the front row. I think it's Arabic news I thanks Arab news Frank Kane Arab news of Saudi Arabia Just on the on on the oil price your forecast less than $60 for the next two years is rather more pessimistic than Many others. Can you can you say how you got to that figure? Yep, you're right about the numbers and I'm going to handle with this question. Yeah, so our forecast for the oil price Is based on futures prices? And that is what futures prices indicated at the time we finalized our forecast that is broadly horizontal path for oil prices from Staying below 60 between 55 and and 60. So that is what underpins our Forecast El País in the third row lady in the third row, please Hello, Alitha Contale from El País I've seen the differences you made in your assessment for two economies with new governments It is Mexico and Brazil Why do you see a deterioration in one hand for for Mexico and then you you Have a more upset assessment for the Brazilian economy. Is it for the reforms or the policies announced? Thank you For Brazil, we are seeing continued Growth and these are coming a lot from cyclical factors Which is recovery from the downturn and so that's a cyclical Expansion that we are we are incorporating in there There are still Risks to Brazil's outlook to in the in the sense that very high levels of debt for Brazil remains an issue in the case of Mexico the downward revisions are because of Policy uncertainty and the dampening effect we expect that has on private sector Investment and I'm going to let John Maria jump in here if he has one like to add anything Yes, I would just add that for Mexico we see a somewhat weaker momentum coming in 2019 So that is one factor also contributing to our down revision But I think it's important when one compares the two to Understand that Brazil comes out of a very deep recession in 2015 16 with very moderate growth since then and had needs more room to Close the the output gap Mexico come from a period of not spectacular, but more stable growth Thank you. I'm going to take ITV way at the back Hello there Joel Hills from ITV news Gita in Britain. We are obsessed with the British Cliff had Brexit cliffhanger as you put it I wonder what your view is what is the biggest risk to the British economy? Is it slow down in China or is it disorderly Brexit in your view? The immediate risk would have to be Brexit The uncertainty associated with what the outcome is going to become March. I think has to be the dominant factor And how much longer can this uncertainty continue before it damages the economy? We've already seen the negative effect of this uncertainty on British investment We have done our estimates of what it would be how costly it would be to the British economy to have a No-deal Brexit, which would be a reversal to WTO rules And that would be a decline in long run Output of about of long run GDP of between five to eight percentage points. So those would be quite significant it is Absolutely essential that this uncertainty is resolved sooner than later. Goodness. That's can I just ask a very much Jerry on that I'm going to turn lady next to you, please Hi, Isha Nelson from Quartz And I think one of the things that's noticeable about this is what economic forum of the political leaders that are missing because they're dealing with National crises at home you briefly mentioned the sat down shut down Obviously, we just talked about Brexit But I wanted to introduce France as well and the yellow vest protests happening there and just ask how much longer do these Particularly instances have to go on before you start to see Measurable impact on their national economies and then also the global economy Political risks are clearly very important and in France. We actually Reduced our estimates. So we revised our focus downwards Slightly but because of the LOS Protest that we had towards the end of last year I think what is important, you know instead of waiting for an escalation of these political risks is for leaders to immediately take actions that prevent such such, you know Unhappiness with the way things are working out for some sections of society and these are real genuine concerns That need that need to be addressed Okay. Thank you very much New York Times, please Keith Bradshaw New York Times a question on LDCs. Are you concerned to see rising? Foreign debt among many of the poorest countries at a time when there are also concerns about falling commodity prices as the world's Economy slows and also we see less and less that debt covered by Paris Club. Thank you What our report highlights is that there is actually a great deal of heterogeneity in how LDCs are doing So it is not one story for all LDCs And that is heartening given that actually there has been a fair amount of financial turmoil in 2018 Now it is indeed the case That for some countries the fact that they still have high debt levels and We are You know financial risks are one of the major factors that we are flagging in this in this report It is an important concern and is an important downside factor for commodity prices 2018 of the initial part of 2018 was good for commodity exporters And actually with that increased our estimates for 2018 for some of those countries But going forward with commodity prices coming down. That is that is a negative impact for those economies Thank you very much. I'm going to take two more questions one at the very back gentlemen. Yes, sir You can hold on for the mic. I may have a have a locally from Al Jazeera news channel You just said about you expected that the price of the old between 55 and 60 What do you expect? that impact on the GCC countries Economies and the growth in it, especially Saudi Arabia. She's considered one of the most exporters of From the Middle East and what's the impact on on the other countries that Are in relations with the GCC countries in the Middle East like North Africa and all of those countries I Mean that the the decline in oil prices and the projections for oil going forward certainly We can growth for major commodity exporters Including Saudi Arabia I'm going to let a John Maria add to that. Yeah, so the Indeed the the download revision for Saudi Arabia Growth forecast for 2019 is a point six percent comes from The decision to Restrict oil production taken at the OPEC plus meeting in December So it's reduced a bit reduced oil Output growth and that is the reason for the revision. There are other fact offsetting factors, but not strong enough So fiscal policy has become more expansionary in Saudi Arabia But so the non oil part of the economy is picking up a bit more, but On in the aggregate that there is a negative impact because of the reduced production of oil You mentioned speedlovers to Other countries, of course Typically if you have a slowdown in GCC countries, you will see Somewhat lower remittances That affect some of the countries that send a lot of workers to the region at the same time Some of these countries may be oil importers. So while they get lower remittances Think of Pakistan or Bangladesh They would also benefit on the other side from reduced outlays for oil purchases So the net impact in some cases for importers is going to be positive But again, this remittances channel is an important one to take into account. Thank you, John Maria Okay, I'm gonna make this the last question. So I'm gonna take the gentleman Here. Thank you, sir Thank you Cameron with China Central TV business channel So I want to know what's your take on China's tax cuts, especially the latest round Which is the personal income tax cuts which aims to free financial burden for middle and low income groups With those rounds of tax cuts served to cushion more Some downside risk and increase domestic consumption in the in the year of 2019 The tax cuts for the China implemented along with the loosening of Reserve requirements, both of those are factors that cushioned in our opinion the negative impact of trade uncertainty the trade tariffs And which is why there wasn't we haven't changed actually our forecast for for China going forward since October So we think of both of those as Having played a useful role We however continue to flag that it's important for China to To to Ring fence its financial sector to make sure that Credit growth is sustainable That there is financial regulatory reform And there's still a rebalancing of the economy away from industry towards services. So that has to continue to be the Medium-term long-term goal for China Thank you very much Gita. Thank you. Jan Maria and thanks to all of you. We'll see you in the course of the coming week. Thanks


for Friday. How do you feel like you guys match up with the twins? I'm excited about it. You know, we faced them once already. You know, I faced them once already in the postseason and I think they got a better team this year. You know, a better rotation, a better lineup. You know, you can tell by the, you know, home run power they have. But, you know, I'm excited about our chances. You know, we go out there and we play our game. You know, we'll get the results we want. What do you view as some of the challenges when you look at that team? What do we do with some of the challenges? What do you view as some of the challenges when you look at that team pitching staff, the lineup? Gotcha. Yeah. You know, they got a potent lineup.     I know they made some acquisitions, you know, at the trade deadline. But yeah, but like I said before, you know, we just got to play our game. If we play our game, you know, we'll get the results we want. What will you do to stay sharp from now until then?   I wouldn't say luxury, but, you know, playing in that wildcard game, you just go right into it and then you go right into the DS.  You know, we're going to be going into the field every day and, you know, getting ourselves ready. Harry, you talked about the home runs, they etch you guys out. Have you guys been aware of the amount of home runs this season? They finished out last count when we checked it was 307 to 306. So they have the record? Yeah, I got nothing. It's a record that's going to be broken the next year and then the following year it's going to get broken again. So, yeah, I got nothing for it. Is that so you, there's no, you know, kind of, do you think this is the kind of series that it's going to be between the two of you guys? Um, that's tough to say, you know, just based on the pitching stack.  It's that's the crazy thing about playoffs. Anything that could happen, you know, guys that don't usually hit homeworks can come up and hit homers.  So it's, um, we'll see what happens. But I'm excited about it, man.   That, you know, next man up mentality has been huge for us. And does that keep that going in the playoffs? How about being at home on Friday? How good is that going to be? Ooh, it's going to be rowdy. It's going to be rowdy, but we're looking forward to it. You know, we're excited to get back home and, you know, and I want to see the Bronx come out in numbers.


Namaste, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you may be across the planet around the world. Welcome to the mid-month energy report for my Patreon followers of 11-11 or more. My name is Greg Prescott from n5d.com. I want to welcome everybody here on YouTube as well. You'll be seeing the first part of this, and then I'll be cutting over to the Patreon part of this entire broadcast. I've been doing some new changes on Patreon. I have this mid-month energy report that I'm starting as of this month, May 2019. I'm also doing an exclusive article every month for Patreon followers of 5.55 or more as well as on top of the behind-the-scenes videos and the afterthoughts videos and all of the articles being released at free the day before on Patreon. So if you're not part of the Patreon family, join us. And I'll leave a link below right here, a quick thing I want to talk about first. And this has been an ongoing thing for about at least a year. It's leaky year. I've had this leaky year for at least a year. And what it is, it's like a clear discharge from your ear or ears, in my case both ears. And it happens all the time, except for example when I'm at the beach, it dries up at the beach. But when I'm here, I get it, especially at night. What I have is one of those travel pillows, like those horseshoe shaped travel pillows. And I'll put my ear on the inside part of it, so it's not like, for example, if it was up against a pillow, you would hear that squishing kind of sound from the pressure and the suctioning. So I don't get it with those little horseshoe pillows, but man, I wish I could just sleep on my regular soft, comfy pillow instead of having to use this horseshoe pillow, which I'm using. Aluna Ash talks about the leaky ear. She says that is one of the ascension symptoms. And I know that there's a lot of people out there, I've brought it up a number of times, and a lot of people out there also are experiencing leaky ear. Are you experiencing leaky ear? What are you doing about it? Leave a comment below. Want to mention too all the articles that I'll be mentioning in this video, you can find below in the more info section. I want to go on to talking about the high-pitched frequencies. And today's high-pitched frequency was in the key of C minor, which is the root and the sacral chakras. We have seven chakras. The root and the sacral are your base two. The lower three are the root, the sacral, and the solar plexus. And then you have your upper level chakras, which is the heart that throw the third eye in the crown chakra. So for the third day in a row, today we had the high-pitched frequency of C minor. C minor is a cusp frequency. And what does that mean? A cusp frequency is, and I'll show you real quickly on the guitar, specifically today. This high-pitched frequency is that, okay? So here is the C minor right there. It's on the A string, the second string down, fourth fret in. So the C is right here, third fret, and I've got to lean back a little. And then up here is the D. So the C sharp cusps the C and the D. So it has both of those energies to it. Similar to, for example, if you were born on, say, July 21st, you probably have a cusping astrological sign, zodiac sign, of Leo and Virgo. And you probably have a little of each of those energies going on. This is very similar to that. So today's high-pitched frequency is the C sharp. It's the sixth time that we've heard this high-pitched frequency this month. Also it's the third day in a row we've also had this high-pitched frequency. The beginning of the month started out with the first, I'm looking at the chart right now, it's on the computer behind me, the first, in the first six days we covered all seven chakras, which included, for example, on May 1st was the B crown chakra, May 2nd was D, the sacral chakra and solar plexus, D sharp, I'm sorry. May 3rd was G sharp, the throat and third eye. May 4th was the root and sacral as well as May 5th. And then May 6th was the heart and throat. So you can see how we had all seven chakras covered within six days. So that's pretty unusual. I found it very interesting too, because we are receiving these high-pitched frequencies. Not everyone will hear them. Some people actually feel them. For example, if it is a B and it's the crown chakra, you might not hear that high-pitched frequency of the crown chakra, but you'll feel the tingling on your scalp. Or if it's the heart chakra, you might have like heart palpitations or something along those lines. Not everyone hears them, but some people actually feel them. One thing I want to cover also is what I'll be putting out on our YouTube channel. In the next upcoming days, I have a new program that I found that works really well with the high-pitched frequencies. So I'm going to be putting those out in a video where you can hear specifically those high-pitched frequencies even better than the video I already have. So that's going to be new and I'll be uploading that hopefully within the week. We'll get that done. And the other thing is I'm going to be doing a new mantra video. And basically, all the mantra is, and this is something I say at the beach when I go for my walk, I am love, I am light, I am pure source energy. Say it with me, I am love, I am light, I am pure source energy. And when you say that, you can almost feel your body lifting and feeling full of light.  You have that inner confidence within yourself that you are pure source energy. You are love, you are light. So I'll be making a one-hour mantra video with ambient music in the background for that. And I should hopefully be uploading that to YouTube within the week as well. So that's going to be something new for our YouTube subscribers. One thing I want to point out too is we still have ad space available on n5d.com. You can find a link to it right here on the main menu. Or you can click this one. This is available. It shows up on every page on n5d as well as this one. You have one down here as well. So if you're a healer, you have a service or a product that you'd like to sell on n5d, get in touch with me. Click the link, advertise on n5d or click one of the photos. And it will show you how it's real simple. What you can do too is you can even add a tagline right above like right here. You were brought here to make a difference in this lifetime as well as your image and the URL that it goes to. Now I was checking yesterday on n5d we had close to 47,000 people that visited n5d yesterday. It was actually 46,800 people. So you're going to be reaching a lot of people when you decide to advertise on n5d. I'm going to make this screen a little bit bigger while I'm doing that. In the news today we see this solar activity increasing symptoms and effects. This is huge because there was a G3 geomagnetic storm that came through that's hitting us right now as you're watching this video. It's coming in. They said that it's so powerful that you may even see the aurora borealis as low here in the United States as Illinois and Oregon. So it's a pretty powerful geomagnetic storm that's going on right now. And what happens is there's a crack in the Earth's magnetic field that allows these solar storms to come through and that allows for the aurora borealis effect to happen in places much lower than they would normally be seen. So you got to think too, while we have this crack in the Earth's magnetic field, we're also entering the photon belt right now. We're on the outer edges of it. We've actually entered it probably the late 80s, early 1990s. That's when the sun went from yellow to white. And as we're in this photon belt, while there's a crack in the Earth's magnetic field, it's allowing for even a greater influx of photons to be coming in. So it's not surprising that today's high-pitched frequency is a C-sharp with the root chakra and the sacral chakra telling us to ground. Because when you have all this energy coming in, you've got to put it somewhere. It's why you have to have a ground on electricity, you know? We have all this energy coming in, ground, ground it. Ground it within yourself and you'll be okay. Try to meditate too, if you can. Focus on those energies and see what you have. Now if you're in a climate that is not conducive to getting outside and grounding, and maybe it's raining, maybe it's snowing where you live, you might want to consider getting something like this. This is shungite, both of them, and just holding on to a good grounding stone. It could be black tourmaline, it could be obsidian, you know? Whatever it is that you decide, just grab it and hold on to it and use that for grounding. You don't necessarily have to go outside, but it's always best if you can, preferably barefooted. That's what I have here right now on N5D on the YouTube channel. I'm going to be cutting over to Patreon and I'm going to be covering the first half of the month of May 2019 for the energy report, but you're up to date on what's going on right here, right now, today with this geomagnetic storm. I encourage you to join us on Patreon. I want to thank everyone for joining us here on YouTube. Remember to hit the like button, subscribe if you haven't subscribed already, and I'll be back soon on here on YouTube with those two new videos of the high-pitched frequencies and the mantra of I am love, I am light, I am pure source energy.

What's going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So as you see on your screen hearing talk about screen 5 again Yes, next Thursday you will be getting to hear your first reactions on social media because the screen 5 social media embargo Will lift next Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern followed by the following week when the film comes out on January 12th Which is the date I'm expected to see it right now I hopefully I get to see it on the 6th, but on January 12th That's when the full entire embargo will lift because that's when a lot of the promo screenings will happen for other members of the press along with fans to see the film early for free and You'll get to hear your full-fledged reviews on January 12th And that's when I think most of the content creators like myself because I know I'll have my review up after whatever screening I have but it won't be up to look at until the 12th and Everyone else like Killjoy Jake and all the other content creators beyond the mask Hopefully and everyone else involved drum-dums even they'll have their screen 5 reviews up on the 12th or sometime around then But going into this I know this excites a lot of people if for anyone who's decided to just hear what people are thinking about the film I think what a lot of the reason this excites me this stuff excites me because it gives me a chance to see what our people saying is Potentially problems with the film not specifically because when a social embargo lifts they're not gonna go into all the specifics until the full embargo lifts, but Maybe I'll get an insight as to what might not be working with the film in terms of just Whatever it is that they pinpoint on what might be some pros and cons early on that Maybe when I sit down and watch it I can evaluate and say you know I agree and I see where they were coming from and I do think that is something that takes away from the overall films quality and The pros I'll pay attention to the pros that were pointed out and I'll say yep They were right on that too that was done Well, and that was something that keeps the film afloat But at the end of the day This is not something that you should sit down and just gauge as to whether or not you will still like the film because like I said before I'm not gonna come on here during my review and just sugarcoat everything if the film has a lot of flaws If the film has a lot of flaws what I will try to do is just not be Honing in on those flaws because there's nothing in in anything that I've seen that would indicate to me that This is gonna have more cons than pros There's nothing in that in here from what I've seen from marketing and just The energy that I'm getting from them there, of course, you're not gonna come out and say, you know We made a terrible film, but so far. I'm not getting that vibe. I'm not getting a vibe where I'll have to come on here and Jeepers Creepers Jeepers Creepers 3 a screen movie It seems like we're gonna have an adequate sequel Something that lives up to the legacy of what West Craven has left behind Something that pays respects to what he's done while also being its own unique thing Standing on its own and bridging into the future or successfully setting up a bridge to carry us into the future of this franchise with the Sam Carpenter terror carpenter and all the other survivors that we get along the way So the rotten tomato score, of course, that's something a lot of people will be focused on. What is the rotten tomato score gonna be? What is the rotten tomato score gonna be? I'm gonna predict that it's probably land in the 60s if not the 70s around there If it lands anywhere beneath that still again, don't sit there and just honing on that again scream 3 is the only one That's not fresh The other important thing to again remember by Ron Smith's a lot of people don't understand is that rotten tomatoes Could in fact be taking some people who intended to give a positive review But because of how the rating system and ranking system or whatever system Ron tomatoes has It only takes one little small smidgen for you to go against that and they'll put yours as rotten Or you could even have some people who have their ratings listed their reviews listed as fresh when they were in try They were more trying leads trying to give it a negative review But there is something that you kept doing that tipped off the the algorithm or whatever on tomatoes has set up to put it As fresh. I just want that to be considered the Other side I think a lot of people go to is Metacritic. I think that's a better site to go to honestly Because again, Ron tomatoes. I know that for me I I know I have plenty of reviews that if I was a Ron tomatoes approved critic They would just be I could see them being most I could see some of them just being rotten When I was being mostly positive like if I give a movie a six Ron tomatoes, I could see them saying. Oh, that's that's that's not that's not a fresh rating We're gonna put that in our rotten category But really I'm just saying you know that the movie was a six out of ten and if we're talking about the school aspect Then yeah, that's a D. But let's not think about schools a six out of ten still is not me saying that's a bad film That's that's not a bad or a bad ranking. Maybe you want it to be higher But a six out of ten depending on the film. I'm talking about that's not me just writing the film off as a whole I'm still saying the film was most mostly good when I tend to give movie six out of tens anyway There are some instances where six out of ten is just me Trying to be generous I'll say But that's important to remember we're on tomatoes There's a lot of different variables are not considered when they put out those. Oh, this is fresh. This is rotten This is fresh. This is rotten the intent behind a lot of people's reviews might be getting misconstrued from how the rotten Rotten tomatoes ranking system is constructed, but I would think that this movie is gonna land anywhere from 70 60 ish if I were to say what were some of the pros be that people highlight Definitely gonna be the directing style of radio silence Matt and Tyler gonna highlight the score gonna praise the score Anything they're gonna praise have now how Nev Campbell and Courtney Cox are kind of just are feeding off each other maybe giving us some insight as to how well used the trio are used in this upcoming film and Of course, we're gonna talk about how Melissa Borreira comes into a role as a new final girl for the Scream series to latch On to going forward if she does a good job They can talk about Tara Carpenter talk about of course the way the movie subverts your expectations Just like the Scream franchise is known to do how it takes a lot of How it takes a lot of stuff you probably already seen before in the past But you're not seeing it done exactly the same way they're doing enough variations to make it go off To make it considered fresh. It's not completely fresh, but it's it's fresh enough. I Just think that's a lot of stuff that you'll see praise about in the way They commentate on the current climate of horror Comment on fandom if because again, we're gonna hear about this toxic fandom stuff I would assume sometime next week when the social embargo lifts on Thursday next week at 9 p.m. After some critics see it and The cons at this point. I mean I Just I think some of the cons could just be maybe something some things being convoluted not feeling natural That's really it Just some bad writing mishaps honestly just I feel like that's really the only Only weakness that this movie would seem to have at this point just some bad Writing here and there or some writing mishaps that could have been tweaked a bit better or some people that think you could have taken it A different route to make the narrative better. I don't think they'll have a lot of things just Painting it technically, but a lot of it could be about just some narrative decision That's what I could see being a lot of the cons just so just some narrative decisions But the pros would definitely be in the technical stuff acting of how they convey certain things, etc But let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below if you haven't already of course make sure you subscribe turn on post In case you check the next video in the description. I have links from a social media council on Facebook Twitter and Instagram You can message me there, of course So let me know if there's any movies or reviews you'd like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys I will see you in the next video
