Hey what's up guys, welcome back to Training Reviews. So this is another tutorial for those that are starting out with Final Cut Pro and are very much new to the editing game in Final Cut Pro X. So today I'm going to be covering six categories on audio. So if you want to get the best audio and try to play around with all of the different basic functionalities that the Final Cut Pro can do for your audio files, then this is the perfect tutorial for you. So have a look at some of the categories I'm going to be covering in this tutorial. It's covering all about how to detach the audio from your actual video clips, how to adjust the volume, how to add and remove fades into your audio files, how to layer multiple audio files, have a difference comparison between absolute and relative audio and then finally key framing your audio files to showcase different volume levels throughout one audio clip. So this is aimed at those that are very much beginners and are new to the Final Cut Pro space and you just want to focus a little bit more about how to get the perfect sound, music, audio, everything to do with all of your clips and movies that you're making. So let's just dive straight into it. Alright guys, so I've created a new event and a new project. It's called Coffee Shop and I have a few clips here and an audio file. So what I'm going to do is just add a couple of these into the timeline. So let me just expand this out so you guys can see a little bit more of the audio and make it bigger and stretch it out a little bit. So the first thing I'm going to show you is how to detach the audio from these video clips on it to its separate layer. So all you have to do, right click and then hit detach audio. The shortcut is control, shift and s. There you go and you can select multiple ones and then also do that. So I'm going to use the keyboard shortcut and then you have separate audio files. So very simple. It's easy to play around with layers. If you want to have multiple audio files in different locations then you can also do that from here. So the next thing I'm going to show is how to adjust the volume. So you can see this horizontal line here. Now if you just drag this up and down you can see the decibels going up and down like this. Plus 12 is the highest you can get and then you can go down to infinity to just mute the audio file there. Now if you wanted to adjust this manually you just select that audio clip there and then on the top right hand filter panel you can just adjust it here. So if you know that you wanted to have it as five decibels, hit five and enter or you can just drag the slider yourself manually and go to the closest decibel point or just drag this up and down like so. So there's various ways you can adjust the volume. Now if you wanted to adjust the volume on multiple clips then you just select them all go into the decibel field there in the filter settings on the top right and then hit five. And as you can see all of them have now been adjusted to that level. The next thing I want to show is fade handles. Now when you hover over an audio clip if you want to fade the audio in rather than starting abruptly where it might be too loud then there's a little thing here just above the audio line. So if I just zoom in there slightly you can see if you hover over it will turn into the left and right arrows. So this gives you a fade audio in. All you have to do is drag this to however length you'd like it to fade in and then drop it there. Likewise for that same clip you can also do the opposite and fade out. So if you do this the audio depending on how loud it is will slowly fade out to zero which will be muted. So a lot of benefit for doing this especially if you're trying to fade some music in or if you want to just fade the audio of a particular video so that it doesn't cover an abrupt change of audio when you're transitioning between multiple clips then you can do that from this. Now a quick way to remove the fades is basically to go on to modify, adjust the volume and then remove fades. So just make sure that audio file is selected and then you'll be able to do that. Another thing is if you go to adjust volume whilst having a audio clip selected you can also apply fades from here. So you can do toggle fade in and then toggle fade out. So if you hover over that now you can see it's done it for about half a second so it's not the biggest fade in but you can also adjust that yourselves. Now if you wanted to have both the audio fades in yourself then if you do apply fades it will do in and out together at about half a second. So it's not a lot but then you can just use that to adjust it accordingly. So you can play around with fades and remove fades from here and it's absolutely very useful especially when you're transitioning in some other background music. The next thing I wanted to show is layering audio files. So you've detached all of these audio files from this videos but then you want to add another music layer underneath. So what you have to do is grab another music file and drag it underneath and there you have two separate layers. Now there's only limits you can pretty much add as many audio layers as you want but of course the sound will be very mixed together and it won't sound great so you'll have to adjust that accordingly. So as you can see this is pretty loud you can see why the little mixture lines here on the audio file itself. Now I'm just gonna reduce that down a little bit and then bring these down a little bit lower than the actual music. So now if I play this back you can see that there's two audio files playing on top of each other one slightly lower and one which will be pretty loud so let's take a look. Now if you wanted to get a bit more of the video noise so for example on this clip I want to get the noise of the steam while this coffee is being made. I can just make this a little bit higher and you'll be able to hear the steam noises around there and around here so let's go ahead and see how that sounds. So not too bad you can see there's a mixture and then you can also play around the audio levels just to get it perfectly right. So you can add as many audio clips as you want. You can download an import sound effect files as well and add them just underneath here in the right place so there's no really limits on how you can do that. Now the fifth thing I want to show you is about absolute versus relative audio. Now what that means is if you have different audio levels on each of these audio clips let's say I have minus 13 there minus 20 there and I'll make this one plus 4. Now if I want to adjust all of these to maybe I have this at the right size and I just want to decrease them by two decibels each rather than adjusting them one by one I can do a relative adjustment. So if you select all of these audio files go to adjust volumes and then do relative. Now you'll see here there's a little purple plus icon that's appeared here. Now you can use your keyboard to hit either plus or minus and if you wanted to reduce it by two decibels you'd hit the minus if you wanted to increase it by a number of decibels you can just leave it as it is and then just enter the number.  You'll notice that each of these decibels have dropped by two decibels. Now let me show you that again I'm going to go to modify adjust volume relative.  Now take a look at the audio lines on this each of them will go down by five decibels. There you go that is the relative adjustment. Now having said that if I wanted to adjust all of these to the same level then I can do absolute adjustment.  So I will do minus and then three and then if you take a look at these lines as soon as I press enter all of them will be adjusted to minus three. There you go that is the absolute adjustment of the volumes. So a quick and easy way to get all of your audio clips to be adjusted at the same level. Now the final category I wanted to go through is audio keyframing. Now keyframing is an awesome way to adjust settings in one audio file or one video file throughout that same clip. So right now I've been showing you how to adjust the volume throughout this entire volume layer. So this one I've been adjusting it and it does it for the entire file. Now let's say I want to reduce the volume for just part of this clip and then bring it back up to normal level during that same clip. Rather than playing around by cutting and slicing the clips in lots of different ways you can add some keyframes. Now to do this you select the audio layer and on the top right-hand side here where you see volume you hit this keyframe icon there. That will start the keyframe and you'll notice there's a little keyframe that gets added there. Now what I want to do is I want to reduce the volume where I can hear the steam of the coffee which is around here and around here. So I'm going to move the keyframe a little bit closer to that and then add another keyframe here by hitting that keyframe icon there at the top. Now what I'll do is I'll bring this down and as you can see everything has gone down with it and then I'm going to bring it back up once the steam has made its noise.  So this is at minus 8. If I select this one I can go and adjust the volume to the same minus 8 there. As you can see now I've dropped the volume for a part of this audio clip. Now I want to do the same for the next part of this steam noise. So the same process add a keyframe, move a few frames forward go down adjust it accordingly to when you want it to reduce. Move the cursor in the timeline and add a couple more keyframes and then you can bring this back up to minus 8. There you have it. So now I've dropped the volume in two locations. Now let's see how that sounds. So it's pretty awesome you can do this for any type of audio clips and if you wanted to have your video sound a little bit better with layering different audios into different transitions and different volumes then this is the perfect way to do that. And again you can do this in multiple audio clips as well so I can do this the opposite way. If I wanted to fade this audio out then I can just add a keyframe there and then add another one there and I'll just bring that last one a little bit towards the end and have that there. So it slowly fade out maybe from halfway for example. Now again you can do this using fades but this is a very good way to do multiple keyframing of audio levels throughout the entire audio clip. So that covers the majority of the basic audio functions that you guys can use as beginners and if there's anything else that I'm missing or you'd like to know especially if you're getting started with audio then drop a comment below. Otherwise this is the perfect tutorial just to get up and running with doing all of the basic things that you can do by layering and setting up your audio files to your videos. Alright so hopefully that tutorial was useful for you guys. If there's any other questions you have around audio then do drop a comment below. Now I have a link in the description below of the playlist of where I'll keep all of my Final Cut Pro tutorials whether you're beginners or intermediates. This is my second tutorial so there might not be a lot of tutorials right now but I'm going to be doing this weekly and I'm going to showcase all of the fun and awesome functionalities that FCPX can do for you guys. So if there's any requests you have of any other tutorials you'd like to make then do let me know. Otherwise I hope you like this video. I hope that was useful and I hope you subscribe and I'll catch you guys at the next one. Take care.


Name, spell it, it's Ronald Cassagnar, S-A-U-N-I-V-R. I'm the commander of the Major Crimes Division here at Police Department. I want to thank everybody for coming out. I want to kind of pre-face this press conference with this. This is still a very active investigation. We're still in the early stages of it. I wanted to get with you with the information that we have so far and kind of give a little timeline to everything else that's going on. So yesterday about 1.25 in the afternoon, officers responded to the 3,000 block West 37th Avenue on a burglary in progress call for homeowner jumps and parties. That particular call spurred a lot of officers to cover into the area looking for suspects in that burglary call. At this point in time, we're still working to confirm or not sure that it's going to be related to the second one. About 1.40 in the afternoon, another officer calls out that he has potential another burglary going on in the 1,300 block of West 34th Avenue. So the officers that had already responded into the area begin saturating this area. And the officer kind of stayed with the evidence that was brought out of the house. There was also a vehicle that was located running in the alley behind. So he remained with that. Other officers covered into the area and then an adjacent alley to that. A couple of cars came down there with officers in them. One is going to be an unmarked car is being followed by a marked car. They spotted two suspects that matched the description of the burglary on the 34th Avenue. They went to contact those parties. One party was taken into custody in the alley. The second party fled from that scene. Both of these cars were two officer cars and the passenger officer in each one, a foot pursuit of the suspect that fled from the area. That suspect fled kind of between the houses headed over towards Mon Creek. One officer continued up the mouth of the alley to Lowell. And then kind of made a left turn or head south back on Lowell. The other officer kind of started cutting through the houses, came on to Mon Creek about midway into that area. The suspect and one officer become engaged in an exchange. The officer at that point is hit and calls out. And then the other officer at the same time is coming up between the houses. Seeing what's going on confronting the officer, there was another exchange of gunfire there. The suspect then continued to flee westbound up to Lowell where he then kind of cut across the parking lot, headed towards 32nd Avenue at or near the intersection of 32nd and Lowell. He confronts a party that has just turned on to that street and ends up carjacking her at gunpoint taking her out of the car, gets into the car. There is some more gunfire that happens right at that location. The vehicle then takes off. The district officers, district supervisors and command officers authorize a pursuit. There's a short pursuit that goes on, goes up 30 or goes up Lowell to 38, now 38 fixed as the suspect is coming back up on strikes a tree and some other things comes to a rest. He then exits the vehicle at that point. And another exchange of gunfire goes on there where that party was pronounced deceased in the seat there. So that's pretty much kind of the layout that's there. Like I said, we're still working. I'm not ready at this time to say if the 37th Avenue burglary is related. We're still working on that because of that investigation going on. We will be withholding the party that's arrested, mugshot my direction to my investigators to get that photo array done and then we'll get that out to you as soon as we can. But we do need to do a little bit more follow up with that. Any questions? Are you releasing the name of the suspect who's deceased or is that? That's going to be released through the coroner's office. So they have to do their family notification and verification. So that notification will come through the coroner's office. How is my job done? She was released last night and at home I have not talked to her nor has commander and others from the department have talked to her. So I did talk to her briefly last night and we still need to get it's interview and stuff at that time. Is this Troy Ide's daughter? Any chance? I don't know on that. I can't answer. I guess at this time we'll go ahead and confirm because her name's out there. It's current district one I believe on the SCAT team and it's Rachel Ide's. It's her name, the release of the other 24 hour period. We want to make sure that we're letting them know that their names are going out. Like I said, we still have a lot of the investigation. They're the same standard based on kind of administratively pending the outcome of the investigation, which is standard for each of ours. We've heard from other residents and looked on some uptick in burglaries in that area. I know you can't say specifically, but are you looking at the possibility that these two suspects could be?  But yes, that will definitely be part of the investigation as it goes. You know, they're related. She was shot in the foot is inflicted. It is not a self-inflicted moment. They can make that very confident. Can you talk about this information? Are there any numbers or anything? I don't have the numbers on that. I would have to, you know, refer to the PIOs. But I know that, you know, during this incident, we had at least two that were going on. And, you know, so we will be going back looking at it. It's possible. One right now is kind of a description from the first one. And the description of the part is that we have. And like I said, the connection between to the area, they did have the, you know, special team up in that area, saturating the area just to address this area when they came across the second one. I'm not comfortable at this time saying those two are related or not. We just have more investigation to do. What do you say about the criminal history? They have both suspects have a pretty extensive criminal history. Once the party was on parole, I know that we did have quite a bit of money. Do you have an approximate timeline of the first burglary and the second burglary? First burglary got called in at 1.25 p.m. Officers were disappear. And then at 13 or 1.40 p.m., the officer comes across the second car and exiting with evidence in his hand. It has been a rocky thing going forward. I think we're dealing with it the best we can.  We got a gunshot. It was very critical in a long process. We boarded with that. So, you know, we deal with that on a day-to-day basis. Did you say that in the first, on the second episode, I guess, it was the first episode that the homeowner jumped? He wound up calling in a burglary in progress. I'm not even sure that it was an attempt or if it was an act of that part of the investigation. We were here last night, laid hours, doing lots of video interviews. We had lots of civilians with us in the broad down in here. Like I said, I want to thank everybody that was involved out there. Had a lot of people come. Thank you, sir. All right, thank you.


Hello my beautiful internet friends and welcome back. So today we're gonna be modifying my eye walk a second time.  But if you are an amputee and you're missing half of your leg and you've got an eye walk, which is a product I would highly recommend, you may notice that there's a significant part of the portion that your leg sits on that you just don't need. And I thought I would modify it a couple months ago just to see how it would work. It would actually feel better on my leg because I always felt like it was just unnecessary room and I discovered that it actually worked a lot better. It felt better. It didn't hurt as bad to like swing it forward and it really helped my mobility with it. So today I wanna take you on the proper way to actually modify it. There were a couple things that I definitely could have done differently and this is what the company actually recommends that you do to safely modify your eye walk if you're an amputee and you wanna cut off any portion of the platform that your knee sits on. Since I am terrible with tools, my dad is gonna be joining us for a second video to help me modify this. Now real quick word of warning, if you have any questions about any of this, don't listen to my advice. Make sure that you contact Eye Walk to the company directly, ask for their directions. They're fantastically responsive and really helpful. Your safety comes first so make sure that you contact them if you have any questions at all about any of this. Now one thing we're not gonna be able to actually show you is actually cutting off the back part of the eye walk because it's exactly the length that I need it now. If you're going to do that, what you're going to want to do is peel back the foam pad. Take that off first and then make the cut to actually saw off the end of the eye walk. That way the saw isn't gonna be eating up that pad and then you can put it back on. One thing to remember as you start deciding where you're actually gonna cut off the end of your eye walk is that structural integrity is really important. So make sure that you're cutting behind one of the ribs. That way you're gonna stay a lot more steady on it and it's gonna maintain that structural integrity. Meaning this ridge right here? Yeah.  Now this is something that I do wish I would have done the first time because it definitely does get a little sharp on the edge. So I have contracted my lovely father here to help out with his sand or to actually sand down those edges. So the next thing that you'll want to do, there are these straps that are adjustable, right? So you can slide them up and down.  So it's a thing that I didn't do the first time. I definitely want to do is put screws in the end here and I'll put a diagram up on the screen where they recommend that you put those for the safest use. So we got the, as I fall over, hopefully not, we got the screw in there. The edges are a lot smoother than they were before. So, if you're an amputee using iWalk, check out the description down below. I have linked some resources to help you properly modify it. This is the way to do it. It definitely helped me to have it shorter than the length that it normally comes with. It's a lot easier to move around like this. If you're missing half your leg, just cut off half your iWalk. Toss going fast, doesn't it? Pretty fast, mm-hmm. And success. So modifying your iWalk is actually not that difficult to do. Like I said, make sure that you really keep safety in mind when you're doing it. Reach out to the company if you have any questions at all. They're super responsive. They've been really good to me and I really appreciate that. But I would really recommend looking into modifying it. If you're missing part of your leg like I am, it's really helped make it a lot more comfortable and easy to move around. It makes it a little bit lighter too because you don't need that extra space. So, give it a shot, but be careful. Thanks guys for watching. I really appreciate it. I love you guys. I'm thinking of you, and I will see you in our next video. Bye guys.


This is the SF Productions podcast network Here are some games that didn't make the cut from the pop culture bunker I'm indeed and I'm mark you can check out our audio podcast how I got my wife to read comics on itunes or on our website SF podcast network comm I recently read an article about the early days of home video games And I thought we would talk about some of the systems that never really caught on of course. There's the big guys There's the Atari's. There's the Nintendo's of the world. There's you know, there's Xbox There's PlayStation and then there's the rest and and as just a point of fact We were old enough that we saw this roll in. Yeah, you know, I played pong on my Home TV when I was little. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it all goes back to 1972 and the Magnavox Odyssey And this was a based on this concept by Ralph Bayer who's considered the father of video games that goes all the way back to 1967 And I distinctly remember going to the Hickey's department store in Canton and Having to be dragged away from the electronics department because they had one of these units It used so little power. It was so Underpowered you can actually run on batteries It had something called these translucent overlays for the TV because you can only do so much with it So the idea was you put this overlay on and then there'd be like paths for you to follow with the little So it was kind of like if you had put a tennis court picture over pong or anything. Yeah, yeah Kind of shades of winky dink in you if you remember something that far back Okay But but sort of like putting a color thing over your TV to have a color TV. Yep. Okay. Yeah, yeah I don't remember that either. I've seen that on TV. I've seen it on TV Winky dink by the way was this kids show where you were supposed to buy this overlay for your TV And you would like write stuff on your with your crayon on the thing in order to to help winky Get through his things and that would be great to teach kids to do right on the TV And unfortunately a lot of kids were like, oh, okay. Oh, I was supposed to get an overlay Go well so There were many sequels and add-ons to the Odyssey system Basically, there's four player and there was you know different modes, but it all pretty much was some form of pong Then in 1975 a tarry pong aka sears telegames And I'm pretty sure that's what we had because my mom worked at sears. Yeah, I'm sure that's what it was So basically again the pong game. There was also hockey which just involved different edge lines Controllers were built into the console and initially and there were many many knockoffs of Atari pong Including calico's Telstar system, but do you know what that was really fun at the time? And Atari cranked out a number of one-trick pony machines some with specialty controls They had super pong and super pong 10 and super pong program and ultra pong and ultra pong double doubles They had video pinball which had different controllers on it and stunt cycle, which was it actually had like Grips like your like handlebars on it. You'd like that But the real Game changer was 1976 and Fairchild's Channel F the first cartridge based system prior to this you had a game it did one thing there was no way to make it do other things and This company has a kind of a tortured history. It came out of a spinoff of AMF the bowling company Yes, who had created automatic scoring systems in the 60s for bowling alleys and they wanted to move into new markets and Magnavox's Odyssey inspired them to go into video games Meanwhile, there was this microprocessor maker called Fairchild who was trying to compete in the market against Intel's microprocessors like the 8080 8 and the 8080 and They realized they needed more than just variants of pong because otherwise we're just another me too So they figured out a way to take these very fragile Contacts from a from a computer chip and encase them within cartridges. So they would be basically Robust enough that you could take them in and out and out and wouldn't break them So did they get any kind of royalties or anything from like Nintendo or no, not really They figured it out And they One thing they did which which you've never seen since is the idea they put multiple unrelated games on each cartridge So it was like video cart one video cart two video cart three and there just be a list of games on them games weren't very good And then they also had these controllers that allowed movement in three Dimensions x y and z and it was kind of like this holster and then there was like thing on top of it You can move up and turn it and moving around It was very fragile. Unfortunately precursor to a joystick though. Yeah. Yeah, it was actually it was it was a three-dimensional joystick my college roommate had one at home and I remember playing that and I remember that Again and controllers were very fragile. So they basically had all the components They had the right idea, but they couldn't execute it or market it very well like Atari did like a year later Yeah And then speaking of Atari Once the 2600 came out originally called the VCS There were a lot of knockoffs in 1977. These are all the same year basically Calico's Telestar arcade Which was a pyramid design with different controllers on each side So there's one with like a light gun and there was another one with like tank controls And it was a triangular cartridge it went on top Like that in commercials that yeah There was the ballet professional arcade aka astrocade APF put out a micro computer system RCA put out the studio to and I remember playing this at Radio Shack Proud little for Radio Shack It was black and white graphics and it was really janky It was just RCA just didn't get it at all and it did not sell well at all So 1978 Magnavox comes back to try to get back into the game. Okay, we need to do cartridges Magnavox's Odyssey 2 and You can actually program on it because it had a built-in membrane keyboard They sold this for several years, and I remember playing with this at O'Neill's department store You used to hang out at the mall. I did so Atari owns the market for quite a while 1982 and this is I'm not going to talk very much about Nintendo because again not talking about the big guys Yeah, this is about the time Nintendo started every pretty much knows Nintendo's right. I don't go into that right So 1982 Milton Bradley put out one called Vectrex Milton Bradley of board game board game fame They said oh geez we better get into this It had a vector display And if you don't know what vector display is if you remember the old games Tempest or battle zone Where was all lines? That's a vector display 1982 Emerson Arcadia 2001, which looks very much like a knockoff of an Intellivision They're pretty much the same type of controllers Also in 82 Coleco vision one of the video games that could be expanded into a computer. They called Adam It's main claim to fame was that they got the initial rights to Donkey Kong Yes, and that's basically what they sold the the Coleco vision based on you play Donkey Kong at home So again Atari was huge. You know they could do no wrong Except when they tried to move on In 1982 they came out with the 5200 super systems. So what was the 2600 doubling it to 5200? It was actually based hardware wise on Their 400 slash 800 computer systems, but they weren't actually compatible for some reasons so the operating system weren't compatible But it's the same basic hardware And they couldn't plays 2600 games either which was it's really Kelly's heel. Yeah, we're like no So all the way in 86 they put out the 7800 Which was actually ready two years earlier, but because Atari went because of the The implosion of the video game industry they got sold and sold again and sold again and the release was delayed for two years It could play 2600 games now But at that point Nintendo pretty much controlled everything and Atari really never had a shot Nintendo was just such a good game. Right, right Then we have 1993's Atari Jaguar. It was the first 64-bit game system But by this point it wasn't really Atari It was the named Atari and they never had enough titles to really compete in the market Going to 1990 and again Nintendo is very much ruling the roost PlayStation has not hit the scene yet 1990 the Neo Geo which was essentially arcade hardware in a box that you could take home It played actual arcade games the actual code from the arcade games The unit cost $599 the cartridges cost $200 or more which at that time was a lot It was an enormous amount of money now You know, I think gamers wouldn't hesitate to spend that on a good system, but right, but it literally was playing the exact same game You play at the arcade 1993 we have the 3DO interactive multiplayer system and this went a very different model because it wasn't just one company building it a group came together and put together a set of specifications that anybody could license and Panasonic Sanyo and Goldstar who's now LG. I didn't know that All made 3DO units. It was one of the first CD-ROM based systems It made very powerful processors But because of the fact that you had to pay for the license from this one company and then make your own profit on the hardware And you may and were the games intercompatible or yeah They were all compatible between the systems, but it was too expensive in the end to do it that way It was it was a fascinating model, but it didn't work. So I know that you are Known for buying into systems that become obsolete So did you have any of I did not have any of these the closest thing I had to One that didn't work was there was a third-party add-on to the to the Atari 2600 Called the supercharger and it was this extra long cartridge that had a ton of extra memory in it And the idea was that it had cassette based games Okay, so so this is for people back then before they were hard drives before they were floppy drives There were cassette there was just what you're thinking like an audio cassette you would play your audio cassette player It would have a little you'd run Cable into this this supercharger cartridge and It would take Easily 20 minutes to load the game And you pretty much had to leave the room when it because when it was doing it because the slightest vibration It would throw it off and you have to start over so you had like okay, and he's tipped away go upstairs for For like 20 minutes and then check in and see up and then it would play for about 15 20 minutes before it crashed But the games were really impressive for the time when you could actually get to play them So by the time we get to 93 now we're starting to get into the PlayStation era and Nintendo very much was still a major player at the time and they pretty much owned the market and Then Xbox came in and here and so we're we're at now with Nintendo starting to fade Yeah, so somewhat from the market although they're still big in handheld And frankly if Nintendo would just say oh, maybe we should just license our characters to Two companies that would just make phone games. They would easily sell those but they just won't do it Yeah, so so that's that's the deal there Lots of lots of also ramps So if you're not out playing video games, yeah, you can check out our audio podcast I got my wave treat comics on iTunes or on our website as of podcast network.com from the pop culture bunker I'm indy and I'm Mark. Thanks for watching


Global Rights Science Partnership, or GRISP, as we call it, was approved early November in 2010. So since January it has become fully operational. And I think we're all very happy that we have been able to implement it in a very smooth and effective manner until now in the first nine or ten months. I think what it already has shown is a much higher whole new level of scientific interaction, communication among scientists that has also led to many new initiatives across the globe. So sometimes we may have been thinking in the past too much about our own regions or the countries that we're working in. And we see now a much more increased level of interactions and also a new range of partnerships across the different world regions. So overall as the person overseeing or coordinating the implementation I'm very pleased with the progress that has been made. I think we've put the mechanisms in place for an effective new research and development structure. We have I think a very unique approach in the sense that we're emphasizing more product oriented R&D structure, but still also having enough room and flexibility to enhance breakthroughs in science to also allow people to explore and discover. So we've had a series of workshops during the year that have focused on developing more clearer plans and ideas for a range of new global initiatives that only can be accomplished by many institutions, scientists from many institutions working closely together worldwide. So the steps are now taken to starting to implement those and also funds are being raised or have already been allocated on a priority manner for those new activities. I think we are also extremely happy to have been able to for the first time really in many years award a significant number of new scholarships. PhD scholarships now have been awarded under the Global Rights and Scholarship Program, one of our new capacity building efforts to 31 students, including from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe. So that has been a significant effort and I think we're all looking forward to the impact this will have in terms of having a new generation of young people engaged or getting them engaged and right sides. We've also developed a whole new monitoring and evaluation strategy and I think I'm most pleased to say that so far we've implemented this very large global program as a volume of nearly $100 million per year without creating any new offices or new bureaucracy layers. So we've tried to do it in a very efficient manner. In year but also transition year 2012 will be the year that I think will see us move even much faster. We have many things that have started, we will launch a whole range of new initiatives, also calls on a more competitive basis for new frontiers research, new partnership developments. So what I would like to see is an increased level of participation and also more partners stepping forward and say we believe that we can take a lead role or a leadership role in this particular line of work or in this because this is a comparative strength we have and therefore we can also contribute more own resources. So I think we still have a lot of potential to leverage co-investments, to mobilize more resources and through that also even expand the whole network and gain more impact faster. So I think the basis is there, the mechanisms are there and we are open to work with anyone who wants to work with us.


you will dive much deeper into topics. There is more personal exploration and just more in this course. Hey, there Safflings. My name is Danny and welcome to esoteric moment. A couple of years ago, I did a video where I reviewed the orders of bard, obates and druids. They're barred course. This video has gotten tons of comments and I've met so many members of obad through this video and those of you who are thinking about studying druidry through this order and that has been fantastic. I've loved all the comments and conversations on that video. And now that I am finishing up my Ovate grade, I thought I would do a video to review the Ovate course through obad.  And that'll have a few materials, examples of the gorsi and really give you a feel for whether the topics covered in the Ovate grade are right for you. After this, you'll have the chance to go online and choose whether you want the course in text version, audio version, or both. So basically the same that the bard courses set up for. This course does cost money. The time that I signed up for this course, it was about 40 or 50 euros cheaper than the bard course, but that really depends on which version you choose and what time you take the course and all of that. I found, frankly, that the cost of the Ovate course was more than fair for the material that you're getting. You will dive much deeper into topics. There is more personal exploration and just more in this course. I really, really thought the exchange of financial money for the material I was getting was more than worth it. So the Ovate course is set up very similar to the bard course. Every month you'll get a packet from Oba. In this packet, you will get four green gorsis or lessons. You might also get a supplemental gorsi. You'll also receive the monthly magazine Touchstone, which we all know my feelings about Touchstone, but they have improved the design slightly. It is a little easier to read. They are making progress still not my favorite part, but definitely better than when I first started in Oba. And the Touchstone magazine, of course, is just submitted entries from members, news and events, contact information. There's some cool stuff in it. In each lesson or gorsi, you're going to start off with a letter from Philip Kargon or the chief druid of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. Then you'll dive right into the topic and topics range in Ovate grade from Nuit Frey, which is kind of the energy flow through your body and magic. It's a it's a big concept. Healing, herbs, alum or the tree alphabet. You'll talk about sacred sites, journey, the gates of time, shamanic healing. Far too many topics for me to cover. In each core meat of the gorsi in that topic, there might be meditations, there might be historical resources or there might be a prompt for you to go out and make or do something physical, more mundane. And then, of course, the gorsi ends with Astadfad, which is a poem or song, some artistic interpretation that connects to the lesson, but is a is a real kind of praise and joyful moment and expression of the bardic arts. OK, truth time. The bard course is kind of your pagan basics in many way, put together beautifully and left with such open endedness that you can really interpret and make your own. It's great for formulating your own seasonal rituals, your own personal daily or regular practice, but it is foundational. So people who are coming from other interpretations of paganism might find that course a little slow going or just not quite as exciting as you thought it might be. But Ovate is very different. Ovate is going to ask you to really do a lot of self-reflection and to get messier and just explore more. And it's not so much about the material that's in each gorsi. It's about what you do with it and like where you go next. So this is where druidry becomes even clearer that even through the order of Bards, Ovates and Druids, this is not an armchair practice. This is a get going, get messy, really live in that flame of druidry. There are some order secrets that are revealed and explored. And if that's your thing, awesome, there will be some of that with it. And at the end of this course, you're going to be asked to do a few different things and it's set up differently from the end of the Bard course. But generally it's going to be about, you know, how do you incorporate all the things you learned and what you're going to do with it next. I enjoyed this grade. It was harder. It took me two years to complete. And there were parts of it that made me angry and feel feels. But it was good. Like I needed that in my practice and it made me confront things that I wasn't entirely comfortable with confronting. And that's what you want out of your spiritual practice is to be confronted with hard truths and realness. So the next question would be, am I going on to the druid grade? And the answer is no. There is more for me to explore in the Ovate grade. And I'm fully prepared that there's more uncomfortableness and just deeper breadth of material that I need to go through before jumping into that next step.  You can be a druid if you don't have Celtic background. Druidry really encompasses a lot of different interpretations and people. What matters to Druidry is your connection to the natural world, your ability to form relationships, to work for peace and justice and to really explore and seek wisdom and knowledge. Eventually bind all of these through Grim Bindery, like I did my Bard course, but I'm just kind of waiting a few months until I financially can do that and make sure I have it figured out the way that I want it to be. The pages on the side are not numbered like they were in the Bard course and there is no cumulative index. So it's not quite as nice to bind altogether, but I still think it'll be really useful and I want to protect these because there's a lot in it that I think I will re-explore at different time. So with a recap, Ovate Review, deeper, more material covered, it's really going to push you, at least I hope it really pushes you. You are still a Druid if you do not do the Ovate course. You are still a Druid if you're not a part of Obam, but I really have loved this experience and I think it was well worth my money and time, most importantly, well worth my time. And if you are looking for deeper mystery and more expansive topics for your Druidry practice, this is the place to be. For today's shout out, I want to shout out tiny and dangerous. They left a comment on my book of Alan update video, which you haven't seen. It's pretty fun. We're talking about how she presses leaves and flowers in her book of shadows type book, and it's a really detailed comment. So thank you for sharing. That was exactly what I was looking for. And if you have any questions about the Ovate grade or, you know, the difference between Bard and Ovate and all of that, definitely talk to me in the comments. I hope this can be another great conversation place. Of course, if you're interested in the Bard course or the Ovate course, we're just figuring out more about this obad stuff. Head over to druidry.org. They have so many resources for free and just lots of wisdom and learning and connection on their website. And definitely a great place to start. Thanks for watching. And as always, may you find peace in the sacred grove.


But this mark is pulled up and a south side is pulled up as well. Take few more people to the market as I welcome traders apologies for the slight delay there would be a technical glitch on my end. If you can hear me and you can see the welcome screen. If you could type a why in the chat box that would be helpful. Okay. So before we get into today's content let's, as always remind ourselves of the inherent risks that are in trading any financial instrument can lose more capital than you necessarily have on deposit. And secondly, and most importantly to today's discussion. The views expressed by me here today are solely mine, and they are not indicative of tick mill UK or tick mill Europe limits. Introduction to myself for those who are here for the first time after I graduated, I joined a city PRC consulting firm. After a couple of years learning the ropes I left with some colleagues and went on to co found and successfully exit a consulting startup post a merger late 2004. And then moved on to explore my passion for markets, some capital to play with and some time on my hands. I started day trading or more appropriately day gambling the S&P 500 of some early beginners luck I racked up some solid gains. However, as is often the case, begin my beginners luck run out. And as the market phase changed, I began to average down into losing positions, giving back all my gains and ultimately experiencing a significant six figure hit my personal capital. So this was a gut wrenching and sobering experience is an understatement. I'd stand back and really figure out if it was feasible for me to make a living from the markets. So I decided to get serious about trading and sort out a mentor with an excellent trading track record working with my mentor for 18 months, it was a period during which I up, not just my technical game researching and developing a strategy that suited my personality. I was going to be back and forward tested and developed a rigorous risk management approach to underpin this strategy, but more importantly, during this period of mentorship I significantly develop my mental game, and probably the most important water share shift so to speak, was moving highly goal oriented and focused on financial gains to becoming really purely process oriented. So what does that actually mean? Well, it means I had to stop focusing on what I could make in the markets and start focusing solely on managing my mindset to allow me to consistently make a living strategy, oftentimes in the face of negative feedback from the markets in the form of losing trades. But once you become process oriented and have a professional trading mindset and understand the true nature of trading being a numbers game in which you're simply playing with your abilities, you lose the emotional investments and attachments and that hellish emotional roller coaster of living and dying by the outcome of individual trades. I'm no longer concerned about the outcome of individual trades or even a bunch of trades. My focus is on the next hundred trades because I know if I focus on excellence in execution, my head shall demonstrate itself over an extended series of outcomes. My approach has delivered profitable annual returns since 2008. Since 2013, I've also been managing investor capital through a management account service, information of which you can see on the screen at the moment, with respect to performance. I'm currently responsible for managing a multi-million dollar portfolio. Since 2010, I've also personally mentored over a hundred private traders of all experienced levels from complete novices to former CME floor traders in developing technical and mental skills to reap consistent profits from the markets, helping people really to develop not just the technical game, obviously, but really focusing again on mindset. I've consulted to numerous brokers and training education brands, contributing written content, webinars and live presentation content, a range of topics from market analysis to trade and strategy development and execution. In addition to my fund management responsibilities and private mentoring, I'm also a resident market expert at Ticknell, providing market and trade analysis on a daily basis. You can register through there, the Ticknell blog site to receive updates on my daily outlook for the markets and specific setups that I'm watching in the markets. My other passion project is as head of trading and trader education for a leading trader education brand called FXcareerswap.com, offering development and funding to retail trading talents. At FXcareerswap, we don't just develop retail traders market and trading strategy knowledge, we work on mindset development through a structure program that culminates in managing the firm's capital at zero personal financial risk on a profit share basis. And for those that are interested, there's some contact information there on the screen, you can either give the guys in London a call or drop them an email if you're interested in finding out more about that opportunity. So that gives you a flavor of where I'm coming from. So let's jump into some, some ideas that I'm focused on at the moment with respect to the markets. Firstly, I put a post up this morning on LinkedIn, with respect to the dollar Chinese Yuan increasingly becoming an important gauge and instrument with respect to risk metrics. And I posted this in the not just in LinkedIn, but also my trading team chat through FXcareerswap about this big, big trade, big options trade that was put on overnight. And essentially what it implies is that we should see upside in the dollar Yuan over the next 12 months, large customer order, which has meant that the market makers and dealers are now trying to cover exposure or potential exposure in the mid sevens. In a minute we'll look at the Chinese Yuan and we'll see where we're trading actually we'll jump into that one quickly now so we've got the Chinese Yuan at the moment in this downtrend channel that we've been watching with a potential fifth wave completing here. We've got some nice momentum divergence and looking to put in a bullish reversal pattern here. So we currently trades 662. And that options action that I've just referenced would actually have us up trading above seven so you can see a meaningful corrective move in terms of the dollar Yuan if we look at the last correction that we saw here. Let's overlay that versus the current low. So I mean even even just replicating this corrective phase that we saw back in the beginning of the year, that would only put us up at 689. And according to this options move we're looking at 750. We've got 10 bucks in the chart here. And you can see that 750 would actually have us making new highs. So new strength there above the prior high so we, this is a chunky move in terms of the dollar dollar Yuan so that's something to keep him keep in mind now obviously you know that that's that options action is, you know, can be over the next 12 months so I mean it's not necessarily going to define the immediate price action but certainly it's something to keep in mind as price action develops. Okay, and I referenced that because we've also got all we had a few weeks ago now, a big a six month put in the euro. So that's someone who's going to get paid on the euro over the next six months. So we're going to trade below 11550. And if you look at the price action of the dollar Yuan and the euro they trade inversely so what what what what the what the market or some or some significant players in the market are betting on is that we are likely to move into at least a potential six month periods of strength in the dollar in the strength in the dollar reflected through the Yuan and weakness in the Yuan and weakness in the euro. Now bear in mind rapidly they're becoming the biggest counterparts to the to the US. That's certainly something that we want to be cognizant of as as traders. In terms of positioning in general the credit agricultural positioning information that I share still suggest we're stretched on the upside in terms of the euro dollar picking up a bit of interest now in the dollar or starting to see a bit of interest in the dollar and we'd anticipate that to be reflected in price action and see we're still pretty stretched in terms of the Kiwi dollar similar story with the swissie but really the stand out is obviously the euro at two standard deviations above the mean and so we can expect the potential like I've talked about for a euro pullback and then that coincides with this fractal that I shared with respect to the DXY and a period where we see a contested which will not necessarily not necessarily a contested but not a smooth handover or transition in terms of power with the US and and obviously we have Trump at this stage is not prepared to recognize Joe Biden's victory. Obviously he's made the made the numbers in terms of the Electoral College and he's now proceeding in some form of transition and this is at this point referred to as president elect. So this coincides with the idea that the dollar pull potential weakness in the dollar into or around that contested election before, before we see a pickup to the upside. And so if we move to the charts now and let's start with the dollar index this is the broad dollar index versus six other currency pairs. So you see we've managed we've held again this this range support down at the 92 60, and we're attempting to put in some type of bullish reversal here today, we have range resistance up here at 94 75. You'll remember from previous weeks I'm looking for I was looking for a fifth wave to complete here but I did reference this area as potentially being sticky and it looks like it is going to be a game. So if we hold below this monthly pivot at 93 50, then there is still potential for this fifth wave to complete, but note again we are trading outside at the moment anyway, outside of this, this trend line resistance which is defined the trend channel, all the way down.  Could we see a retest of range resistance in the dollar if we move into the equal weighted dollar index, you can see a little more clearly here. We have a bullish reversal on Monday consolidated yesterday, and now looking to try and put in a bullish outside candle versus yesterday's price action to get constructive on this we really take out this 90 190 90 area, and then again we look for range resistance to get invested back up to 120 95. We've also got the monthly pivot one 2055. So we could continue to trade in a range environment, especially until we get some type of definitive resolution with respect to the US presidency and participate that at the latest, I think it's the sixth of December, six or the 11th that US electoral college have to confirm or certify their votes, and so that would give us a conclusion then what it's also important to remember is that on the 10th of December, we have the ECB meeting. Now the ECB are anticipated at that meeting to, to extend monetary policy and their, their dovishness, and if that that comes into play then we could anticipate some some dollar strength through that period so it's whilst the dollar is still under pressure, the fact that we're holding this range supports, could it does lead me to think that we could see a squeeze before we actually do get that move lower in the dollar index, in terms of swissing, I'm running a long transition in the swissing at the moment, versus the break of this candle, got this potential double bottom here, so again, always when we're looking at these double bottoms or triple bottoms what we want to make sure we've got in play is decent divergence and as you can see here. We certainly have that in spades there, and so along the swissing at the moment, what I'm looking for here is basically a test of this descending trend line resistance at the 9332 we'll have to see how that how that plays out. In terms of the dollar yen I'm also long dollar yen. We've got this big bullish reversal pattern. Again, we've got, not as the divergence in terms of the dollar yen isn't as strong here but certainly in terms of this corrective phase we made a new low, we didn't make a new low in terms of the psych indicator outside reversal candle consolidated a bullish inside day yesterday. I'm looking for this to break out certainly see the test of the internal sending trend line resistance up to one six one oh six 50 at the moment. If we get through there then we have the external trend line resistance coming in at one oh seven 60. So we'll see how that one plays out. And one of the factors I will alert you to if you're if you're looking at the dollar yen is this is the US Treasury yield. This is say, this is inverse to bonds, and so the bonds trade in price and then the yield so if the price of a bond is going up, the yield is going down if the price of the bonds, sorry, the price of bond is going down and the yield is going up. And that's what we're currently seeing at the moment. And, and we're sitting at a pretty significant inflection point with respect to with respect to these the yield here. What we're looking to try and do is take out the 90 point 98 and head towards 1% we get through 1% then we have an equality objective up as tires 1.4% now what's going to drive that is obviously this idea that we potentially got a vaccine in play. And if we have, then that that then leads into the idea that the economy is going to be reopened both in the, in the US and around the world. And if that's the case what we're likely to see is a less dovish Federal Reserve so what the market saying here is that if we are going to see an improvement in terms of vaccine hopes, then this easy monetary policy scenario that we've been in for for most of this year could be coming to an abrupt end, and that would be what would drive this this yield higher. Now the reason I reference that is because the dollar yen obviously trades with that in terms of if we if we are seeing a pick up in yields in the US, then the counterpart in terms of the Japanese yen, the Japanese central bank are have the lowest lowest rate position in the world so what you're looking at is playing off the strength of the dollar or the potential strength of the dollar versus weakness in the end driven by an improvement in risk sentiments, and also this idea of the yield differential. So, it's, it's certainly what you want to keep an eye on the US 10 year if we can break one percent, then I think that's what could drive drive some higher prices here in the dollar yen in the loony. Again looking for a potential double bottom here in the loony more triple bottom even if you look back to this price action over here let's draw this in. And this support area here that we've tested a pretty nice reversal candle. Today would would flip this chart bullish as per my strategy with respect to the five period VWAP. And again you can see that as we traded new lows in price here, we've made higher lows in terms of the momentum study giving us that divergence support. So when you're looking to play counter trend, if you're going to take counter trend positions, what you really want to see is, is divergence in momentum studies to, to support that. So again, if we can get a green close here, the scope I think for the loony certainly trade up to that 132 80 area, see where we are with the euro. The dollar catching a bit of a bid at the moment the euro looking weaker, we've held if we if we hold this one 1920 gain, then the path to me would appear that we are we trade back down into the support at 116. And from there, we may then get may then get another round of buying taking us up into into highs here and I anticipate those highs would come in advance of the ECB meeting, which as I said is on the 10th December so we'll have to see again it's really a heavy range rotation at the moment, tricky trading as such but there are certainly keep an eye on the on the edges here so it's 119 on the top side and 116 on the downside of the areas to really pay attention to the price action, as those are going off the best risk reward scenarios in terms of getting into positions. You're okay, I've been taking a look at this. I what I was looking for with this your account is a quality objective versus this swing here and matching that to the downside at 152. But what we've keep what we keep running into is this internal equality objective here at 153 24, I just can't seem to crack that so I've, I've cut my position in the euro CAD but we'll see how that how that plays out if there's another opportunity to do something with that but for now the support is really coming in around this 153 20 area. The euro sterling is sitting right at its trend channel support now, and we've got this structure support area here, 8869. There's the potential I think from here that we could trade back up into a big head and shoulder scenario obviously euro sterling and the sterling has been heavily, heavily dictated by price action with respect to source or comments on the wires with respect to the UK trade deal, which they miss yet another deadline but they're anticipating hopefully that they'll get something next week. And that could, I could see potentially a resolution to that matter and then we could get some much cleaner price action in terms of a lot of these sterling pairs but that said sterling is sitting at the resistance area that I'd highlighted. So we have this ABCD correction into the 78.6% of trades and we can just shy of completing that. But we're holding and we've also got this trend line resistance. I've got a I've started a short position here. I think if we, if we hold this area as resistance, then certainly in advance of a trade deal coming out we could see another rotation here. I'm not expecting anything meaningful on the downside but from a tactical perspective it offers a decent trading opportunity. Certainly we could get back down into these prior highs at the 130 area. Before, if we do get the deal next week then you know things could, we could see another leg higher but as I've said previously I think increasingly what you're finding in the market now is that the market is of the view that there is less upside to be had on a deal and then there is downside to be had on a no deal. And so this is why you're seeing participants reluctant to really chase, chase the pan much higher than this, this 133 area. Sterling N is in a similar position it's come into its corrected phase so let me just draw this in so you can follow along. Here is A, B and C, D so we extended just above the equality objective but ran straight into the tick at the 78.6% retracement so again, from here we could see another pullback in terms of Sterling N, leased into that 137-80 area before we see if they're prepared to take that higher. Sterling CAD, I was watching this trend line game we can't, we don't seem to be able to break it at the moment. If we hold there then we could be playing this trend channel here so we could get another run to the downside and test trend line support but at the moment no man's lander have to see a bearish close there. Sterling Aussie is one that I'm watching, I'm in this trade at the moment. I'm looking for this inverse head and shoulder scenario to potentially play out here and take the Sterling Aussie higher. If it does play out and it's still an if at the moment then in terms of targets they would be an equality objective versus this one here replicates over here up into the 189-76. And then if we also look at what that does in terms of retracement so that would take us just shy of 50% retracement so this would be the target zone if we can break out. Now technically the inverse head and shoulder scenario would have a target versus the neckline. So the actual target technically the target would be up as high as 194 but again with prices was being beholden at this stage really to to news on the trade negotiations, it's tricky tricky trade at the moment so if you're going to get involved you want to keep your risk relatively tight. But if we can take out the monthly pivot here 182-62 and certainly we could get up into this 185 area and if we've got through there then we know where the upside objectives are. Conversely we've got the Aussie consolidating just below it's 78.6% retracement of this last leg to the downside. If we can get through there I'd be looking for this Aussie to test up into the 75-20 or even as high as the 76-89 before looking at some short positions in the Aussie. The Aussie CAD is one that I'm watching. Again we're trading at this trend line resistance. It's a bit more bearish earlier on today but it's looking a bit more bullish. I would need to close below this 94-60 area to look at doing something potentially on the short side. We've held this equality objective, we're trading just above it at the moment. See where we close tonight. The Aussie Kiwi is a trade I did have on which was looking good but I got touched out just at break-even last night before it rolled over when somebody lose some. But I'm looking now for it to test this potential net line support. So 105-60 I'm going to really pay attention to how price responds here because if we get a bullish reversal and we stall out at this 105-60. So let's go for us to actually correct higher here and get a move back up into the underside of that trend line and then we'd have a potential head and shoulders scenario developing in the Aussie Kiwi. So that's one that I'm keeping an eye on. So watching this 105-60 area. If we get down here and we do find buyers emerging then certainly I would look at playing that on the long side from there. So I'm expecting the potential right shoulder here up into the 108-50s. Kiwi, another one I'm watching very closely now. We've got this trend line resistance, sending trend line that's capped on the way up. We've got the 161 extension of this last corrected phase. So watching for a move into 69-50s and really paying attention to how price responds there. I'm looking at the four hour chance as well for entry if we stall out in this area. I think we've got scope then to certainly be down retesting the trend channel support in the 66 area. So some decent risk reward opportunity in the Kiwi. We can get up into this zone and we should have some divergence in play as well there. Keep an eye on that area. It's setting up nicely at the moment. We'll just have to see if it can complete the pattern. Kiwi CAD potential for a double top here in the Kiwi CAD. Again, watching the divergence that we've got in play here versus that prior high. Nothing to do immediately. I'll show you another chart of that in a minute. Gold. Looking for gold to break lower here versus this big outside reversal candle. Consolidating bearish consolidation yesterday and today. So looking for a move through the base here at the 1845. Imagine you'll get a bit sticky towards 1800 but ultimately I'm looking for a test of 1750 in terms of gold there and we'll see if that develops. Bitcoin talked about this for a few weeks now. Trade is still running. I think we can get up into this 17000 area and then maybe we see a more pronounced correction to take us back to 14000. Again, the momentum appears to be on the upside at the moment. So I'm looking forward to play corrections to add to long positions. This was our original setup back down here when we got the break on the day that I referenced the Bitcoin. We had Square the payment solutions company come out saying they're opening up to Bitcoin. They put in 50 million and now we have PayPal similar type of situation. So this is keeping keeping Bitcoin well supported. So last chart for the day is the S&P keeping a very close eye on this. This is the target zone that I've been waiting for this 3728. We could consolidate a little bit more here. Watch the divergence. We potentially got triple divergence developing. And so any push into this area, watch for bearish reversal patterns as an opportunity on the short side. And I think we could see certainly a correction into projected sending trend line support back down into the 3400 and even to the projected ascending trend line versus the prior two lows here. Which can have us back down at 3250. We'll have to see how that plays out. But watch certainly a retest of the highs this pin bar that we had form we broke to new highs close back towards lows on the day. So any any more failure above 3675 up as high as 3730. I think it's going to be an opportunity on the on the short side with respect to the S&P. So those are the charts that I'm watching the trades that I'm running and an opportunities that I'm looking to take advantage of in in the coming sessions. Are there any questions if you have a chart you want to take a look at having covered type it into the chat box. If there aren't any questions or if you don't have a question and ending the chat box is equally as helpful so that I know we're all on the all on the same page. And and you've understood everything I've been talking about. Okay, good stuff. Well, if there aren't any questions, I will wrap this session up here and next week we'll reconvene at the usual time on Thursday at 1pm. Thanks very much and I hope you hope you found this useful.

The party was a double celebration as she also used occasion to mark her 50-50 year in the mover industry. Flos Devonis correspondent Uyime reports. Clocking 80 is no mean feat and is something worth celebrating. The family, friends and associates and well-wishers of Ido'u Philips, popularly known as Mama Rainbow, gathered from far and near to celebrate and rejoice with the movie icon.

Mama Rainbow, Yadadah, Yalalubarika, Yadoshetoro, I've known her for a long way and she's the best. Mama, she's a wonderful person, very humble. In fact, she is very, very religious. She believes in God so much that each time she talks to me, half of the time she will be praying. She prays a lot for me. The celebrant, who could not hold back her toy, appreciates her guests and expresses her gratitude to God, which according to her affords her another opportunity to continue to do what she knows how to do best. Don't wait until we are dead. Celebrate us now that we are alive. What we are enjoying is God's grace and age is beginning to tell. So encourage us so we can rest when we should.

We're trying to incorporate our other working groups for example climate change, a finance track It's very important as you know disasters don't differentiate be it finance or class or location As well, it's very important to remember that we are happy to be here as the Sultanate of Arman We were invited by the Indian government, which we appreciate have some great presentations by a lot of the local officials here about preparations for Cyclones and Disaster warning systems and how to get the word out to To everybody about what kind of preparation they need to take so they're very impressed with a lot of the local capacity capabilities that we're learning about here at the conference the words that I mentioned integration and Then also mainstreaming Collaboration in partnership and these are the words that have come out through these working group meetings integration because disaster risk reduction is not Only about disaster risk reduction. It is about sustainable development. It is about making sure that we also meet the climate agenda and without prevention without being prepared for all these disasters and tackling the root causes of disasters we cannot achieve this so Integrating disaster risk reduction into all other agenda items is very important. Disaster reduction is a very important Very prioritize for us especially for us the country with an archipelago state seven more than 17,000 islands in the In the country more than 250 million people inhabit and that is a place and you can see There's more than 12 hazard in the country including natural hazard and also technological hazard So that's why it's very important to carry out in the global platform where we can have collaborative way in other G20 countries member state


Oh no. I tried! I tried! We're out! A.K.A. there's still a chance! What am I doing? Oh, I'm baiting! This is what I'm doing, dude! How's it going, everybody? Datotoe here, back with some more Dragon Ball Fighter's rank matches. And this time we're playing a team of Videl, Adult Gohan, and Trunks. I'm pretty sure we've played this guy before, actually. Hopefully our Videl can live up to the task of defeating this team. This is probably the single-handed most scary Dragon Ball Fighter's team on the market right now. Oh! I'll take it, Videl. Videl does not get a lot off of this, but that was pretty good. Wow, that was poor on me. I really got to stop getting so jumpy. Videl is going to take a nice combo to this. I don't think we're going to be in any trouble. I'm going to down tech, though. Another moment like that. Let me go ahead and switch into Gohan. Wow. These assists are dangerous. That wasn't the uppercut. I did it the wrong way. Oh, god. To be fair, when I saw that come out, I was like, oh, is that going to work, too? He's superdashed through the Key Blast cannon. I didn't think that you could do that. Uh-oh. All right, give me Bardock back. Give me Bardock back. I know you're going to level three super. Just don't do it right now. Oh, he just superdashed. Feeling a little risky today. My boy is just superdashing it out. Okay, blocking this. Get him out of here. All right, I'll take it. I'm going to switch. Oh, what? No Goku GT. Oh. Am I dead for that? I'm not. All right, Videl get out here. One, two. Get him down. No, he didn't do the Boo Ball. Instead, he just kind of quick through a Key Blast, sneak this me with a Key Blast. Videl's probably gone here, unfortunately. But yeah, we used her a lot this game. Probably not in the best of spots. Goodbye, Videl. Oh, one bar, one kill. That's bad for us. I would have much rather had somebody else out. Actually, I guess GT Goku being I would have been pretty bad. Okay, I got to block something. One of these. This one block would make me feel a thousand times better. Double three, it hates. All right, we have Sparking. This is probably where we should use it. Nobody else on the team, especially Gohan. He has way too little health to make use of it. All right, cancel. We out. The candy beam was so fast. What's the extension of this? 6M. No, understandable. But I'm right back at it. I'm right back at it with another 6M. You best believe we are coming out here with this. Okay, I'm just keeping you in line, man. He's super dashed from full screen. I was like, is he going to super dash? But dude, once he backed into the farthest corner, I was like, nah. That was an excessive backup. Nice low. Damn, he even wanted the 2M. He was like, this is going to connect, and I want to get as much damage as possible. Two bars actually made it three, so we're for sure dead. That hits, yeah, that hits. Wow, he had to use all three. Okay, back it up, back it up. Let's see what our Gohan can do. We have one bar now at least, but that opens up some stuff. I got hit. I got hit by a light overhead. I was like, damn, it's over. Oh my goodness, all right. Oh my god. All right, we need to do some readjustments. We need to down heavy more of these super dashes, because those were bad, dude. We got hit by so many of them. I think he's going to super dash right away, so let's just, yeah, there it is. Again. Wow, the down heavy was a commitment. I probably shouldn't have down heavy there. Okay, once he snaps us out, we just got a super dash at him. Overhead, we blocked it, thankfully. Check that. Oh, he got us, and he got us bad. Okay, Gohan got out, so he's going to snap us into Gohan. I tried stopping that. I tried like mashing, but that was not the move. Navadels, Navadels in danger. Oh my god. We are just getting destroyed here. I tried mashing again. I got to hold this. Defense needs to be held. Now we go. Oh, we live. Nice. Give me sliding.  This beam assist has been going on long enough. No more beam assist. Get him out into the open. My fake jump. I guess there really wasn't any big point for that, but what? Yeah. Yeah. That's what I like to see when my offense doesn't make any sense. That's when it really clicks. Give me the remote to my offense, dude. I'm trying to turn it up. What am I doing wrong? Boom. Ah, the one time I randomly do. I was like, let me get this random raw tag in, bro. But the beam was a good move. It stopped it completely. Much like I'm about to erase him completely. Where's the Super Dash? Just show me the Super Dash. Your foot. Whoa. All right. We just, I don't know what to do at this point. I think we just let him take the sliding. All right. You can do that. I'll hold this. I'll hold this. Wow. That time I thought we had enough time for a down heavy for sure. No, Spark. Oh, no. Oh, no. He's getting random. I got to get randomer. No, we got caught by the Bardock assistant. That's the end of Gohan. That is going to be bye-bye Gohan. Level one into level one. Oh, yeah. It had to be three. I was like, I don't know if a one's going to kill. Three for sure, Will. And now it's all up to the Trunks. Oh, no. My Trunks is not good. My Trunks is not good. Believe it or not, I was going to say good enough for this.  Why does he Super Dash like that? No, dude. This guy is so, like, backlash.  I'm so afraid of the no way. Okay, get him out. Okay, we have a chance. We have a chance. Kid Boo's gone. Bardock, at least. I've played against so many Bardocks that I know Bardock at this point. I don't know this guy, though.  What? What am I doing in the neutral that causes him to Super? Like, what is that? What was that? Oh, dude. Oh, dude. It jumped up to five frames for the tech. I don't know if it mattered. I probably would have not teched it anyway, because that's just me. But damn, it was so intense. Oh, no, dude. All right, one more. If we lose again, it's just over. So we can't lose again. I tried jumping away. I thought we had it there. We got both of his assists, and we were in the clear.  Dude, once those assists are out, it's really... You got to make a mad dash. I'm sparking. One, two, three, one, two, uh. It's time to get this man. Three, let's go. Okay, is he going to do something?  Oh, the candy beam. I thought I sliced it for some reason. I was like, trunks deflect, ski blast. Yeah, that's a whole beam, though. I don't know about that one. Overhead 6M? Oh, God. Oh, God. Ooh, level three, let's get it. I told you. Somebody's got to be random here. And you should have been... You shouldn't have let it be me, dog. Oh, God. Videl is such a weird character. No, the down heavy didn't work. Oh, he just punched me in the face. That was good stuff. Oh, dragon rush. Why? I always reflect after 6M. That's another bad thing I do as a player. But he's got to... Well, I guess he could use... He's got to bring... No. I thought for sure he'd have to bring Kid Boo in. All right, Operation Get Kid Boo onto the playing field is a go. We need to get that Boo. Operation Get Kid Boo, go. Super Dash. I know you want to. Just do it. You do it all the time.  Oh, it's too late. Kid Boo got away with absolute no-hell. I'm so sad about the Kid Boo thing, though. Okay. Getting a little laggy. No, he got away again. I can't let more characters get away. Um, I should have focused on go on first. Down teched it to an absolute beating. You wanna save? One, two. Thank you. I always jump up into the beam. I'm so bad at that. Kid Boo is like the... My killer, dude. Two overheads. Oh, candy beam again. Oh, my Kid Boo lockdown. This is a Kid Boo beatdown. Oh, no. One bar. That's gonna have to take two, at least. And again, Kid Boo exits. See that? It's crazy how that's more health than Kid Boo had at one point. But we just kind of let him get away with murder. Oh, no. Speaking of murder, Videl no. Videl, why? It didn't have to be this way. Can we at least style on him, bro? That's not what I wanted, but he backed Asha, whatever. It's a good thing we didn't get what I wanted, then. Oh, no. I tried. I tried. We're out. AKA, there's still a chance. What am I doing? Oh, I'm baiting him. It's what I'm doing, dude. Vanish. That's a knockout. Now, if we, if we play Godlike Dragon Ball fighters, we can do this. So let's begin. I missed it down heavy. I did it too early. I, I got bopped that game. I got absolutely bopped this match.  I feel like we did good with the characters for what we had, though. It's no super dashes, dude. I couldn't, I couldn't tell what was setting it off. Well, hopefully you guys enjoyed it, though. If you did, let me know down below in the comments. Let me know if you picked up on what I was doing to make him super dash. Other than that, there should be some more videos on your screen right now, so make sure to check any of those out if they catch your eye. I have been Datsudoya. Thanks for watching to the end, and I will see you in the next video.


And I cry. Watch you cry. That'd be awesome. I promise I won't.   I'm getting ready for crying. Okay, gotcha. Please follow us on Instagram and Twitter. Be a digital stalker, won't ya? So today we'll be reacting to our very first ad from India. Yeah, a lot of requests for this one. A very requested one, it's called the Samsung India Service Modes Watch video of 2017. With 200 million views I guess. Yeah, 207 million views. Which is what we get on all our videos. That's true, so it's about average. So I'm expecting that, thank you.  Apparently. That's what they say. Is this four freaking minutes long? That's not an ad, that's a short film. Hello? Hello ma'am. I'm talking to Samsung. Yes, Amit? Have you made a TV complaint? Yes. Can you come before 7 o'clock? Yes. Absolutely. It's not flowing down the cheeks but it's there. Wow. I'm misty. Yeah, that was really sweet. That was very sweet. I didn't know where they were going at first. And if Samsung in India doesn't do customer service like that, they're hypocrites. Yeah. I don't know what their service is like. Because don't you advertise that you're gonna go to those kind of lengths for people. Yeah. If you don't do it. Yeah. That was a really long ad. Really? That's a short film. Yeah. That is a short film. Like that must have cost a lot to put on TV. Did you see the, could you predict the fact that the kids were coming down? I sensed that was gonna happen when she said, when she started to ring the bell, I thought this is gonna be a place that has a bunch of blind kids. Yeah. What I did not see common was that the girl that was on there was from the hostel. Yeah, I was like, they must be watching something that they... Right. I thought that was it. Yeah. I don't know if that's a real girl or if this is like a real story. Right. Like we're farmers. We've seen it all. Right. All these real kind of stories. That is better than any commercial that was on the Super Bowl. Oh. That was a hand. There was nothing that touches that. Yeah. That should have been the Super Bowl commercial. Yeah. That was awesome. That wasn't Samsung. Why didn't you make that a Super Bowl commercial? That would have played in the United States. Absolutely. That would have played in the United States. Yeah. I don't know. It would have been a fantastic commercial for the United States. Subtitles and everything. That would have cost it a lot. It cost, for a 30 second ad, it cost like 5 million. Yeah, I know. But it would have been the commercial everybody's talking about. That's true. That's true. Please let us know if there's other commercials or ads that we should react to. You know, I've requested a lot. So please let us know where the best ones are and that we should react to. Yeah. That was a good one. I didn't cry. He won't. Because I have no feelings. No feelings. Nah, nothing in there at all.
