and welcome back to the breakfast and plus TV Africa first major conversation this morning is going to be discussing of course the biggest story across Nigeria today which is the attack on the Abu Jaqaduna rail line the NRC is currently suspended rail travel until we're able to figure things out and you know ensure that it is safe for passengers we're speaking this morning with Yehuzad Gatso is a an intelligence and anti-terrorism expert who was also on that train when the attack happened Mr. Gatso good morning thanks for joining us good morning for you very well thank you for a minute yes and of course I would as always start by saying you know we're glad that you know it wasn't worse than even that it happened yesterday and we still have you here with us so I want you to start with sharing exactly what transpired on that train do you know and how did you and every other person make it to safety well actually uh it is only the the who is arriving the that's the driver of the train that you will be able to provide a clear explanation of what's going on because what happened it happened as a front and it accepted mainly and only the the front post it doesn't accept the other posts so there was no shooting sporadic shooting as people are talking about even if there was it happened as the only at the front where the the grenade decimated or the bomb or whatever decimated but there was no sporadic shooting around the other courses of the train so that's what really came through so but it still continued to run up to some kilometers before it stopped and then everybody got scared before what happened uh what happened and uh people uh were supported and then necessary arrangement was made and then uh the people moved okay but uh would you say that this attack is a terrorist attack or you would uh describe it as an attack from bandits because there's been a lot of back and forth whether or not this is a terrorist attack or it's actually uh that's from the bandits as terrorists or they're giving this learning as terrorists as far as i'm concerned they are all terrorists because anybody who volunteer only for different jobs and for those things why not activity is a terror so as far as i'm concerned uh who so ever or have uh have done so must have a very organized criminal psychology a very organized criminal organization a very organized criminal community a very organized criminal community a well prepared and a well planned activity so that's what i mean so whether we know that bandits or so many people and then there are some of them they are not supporting us and that is exactly what other terrorists are telling but that is why i'm describing the tradition of the color of the electricity matter on the only on the position that uh asking or making a clearing for or asking the government whether they are declared as terrorists or not they are still terrorists what happened to the current to the iphone that is clear as terrorists what happened to the vote around that is clear that are terrorists we have not seen any security uh being able to manage the issues the vote around father so that means you i'm sorry i'm not going to manage the iphone that has been made as a terrorist so as far as i'm concerned that is not the reason and as a professional uh i i believe uh probably uh those who are around natural uh i think they are not guiding them i'm not guiding other police for a technology make it submission that uh what is really transparent for this for it and i keep making uh attaching i'm not only attaching that i keep making results there that are 30 thousand that don't have good knowledge of what this is for it it's all about but especially the connection between one girl and another between one police the another one another one thing and another so and uh this new uh kind of um uh conditions or approach is it's a waste of time it's a waste of resources it's the advantage of attention they know what they're supposed to do the technology the technology and the we the professional won't supposed to observe them there's not three supposed to be there and they know the vote that all the criminals everybody knows where it's placed everybody knows where they are that is why yesterday when i had the announcement that people paid me to the people by myself that he instructed that uh i should go upstairs and uh before the that's what just as a follow-up to the question can you please help us understand the difference between vandals terrorists and bandits because we have the minister of information lai muhammad on national tv on another platform saying that for bandits to be called terrorists they need to bear flag what is the difference can you help us understand the difference between vandals terrorists and bandits so probably from what i understand normally uh uh a fan of um differentiated them by dramatical uh probably uh the the logistic uh that is you call thank you for those people who are vandalizing and the people talking and you call people terrorists uh probably because you have one link or one certificate uh and another but the problem with nigeria is somebody there was never any research any research that you can you can you can lay your hands on as a kind of um a root course research root course analysis background a research that has been conducted in order to answer this time that this is uh uh so that's why the decision in this is going to make the kind of a general discussion that is what i take land on this and land on it doesn't have any experience and then he didn't go through the the the kind of experience and effort to come out and tell us that that these are vandals and these are terrorists all right but as far as we are concerned professionally uh anybody who is committed a violent act that is leading to the destruction of life or property and creating uh insecurity uh uh uh participation for whatever measures that is making people to do some such it's a trouble all right mr getzo um we're going to go you know talk a little bit more about this you know this aspect um and i properly identify them i don't know in what must be done but i want us to go back to you know the incident and you said that um you know the train was still in motion for a couple of more kilometers before it stopped i was going to clarify for us if it was stopped by the driver it was stopped because of the damage done to the the front's carriage of the train i think uh uh you know i just kind of a chaotic situation everybody is thinking of kind of working with you this way how am i going to success if you get my third success life what should be happening so uh it's very particular if you know it happens at night it doesn't happen in the real time so it's a kind of confusion that nobody anybody that can give you any information any accurate information is trying to study a kind of a life or to create stories but if you show you that of course a problem is the part that you only have only this part you know the problem is not a very long life a very long life so probably with that and through the PPP you can be able to use that part some valuable information that uh one can lay the time on and then make analysis with i've been doing that kind of thing so i can help uh uh any part of the plan even just from the video piece that you see and that it is going to be a that a bit of trust that's why i think and that's why the incident happened and it didn't affect any part of other parts okay nothing it affects only the front uh course which is has the impact of the control of the of the of the okay um so so what does yeah so can can you share with us i mean you're you're an intelligence and antiterrorism expert can you share with us what this means um the the fact that bandits are now going after rail lines does this in any way mean that you know they no longer have enough people on the roads to attack and so they're trying to get those rails uh you know damage so that people can go back to the roads or does it really just mean that they you know their their powers and the the audacity that they have is is growing and so they are now going after even trains and then my life that it is the explosion the inability capability lack of understanding of of and lack of understanding because that of course you know the economy in the country is so harsh and so terrible so these guys were conducting their activities by conducting in the remote locations in the north western part and north western part of north east other part of the country part of all tigers can be in the country house okay roughly their cattle and setting them to sell and make sell out of them then we move into the next step whereby we are igniting people uh as the remote locations then town then urban and the semi-urban and it's actually up there in the city so it has to realize that if this is not really for us that ransom is not for us because the wife is not in the wrong because the wife is not in people who are struggling to eat struggling to survive who are struggling to have a serious uh starving to make it not to move at half the moment so it has to realize that uh a government has not been paying attention to that so how what would they be to create and support the government to have attention to pay attention on what they are doing there's probably a dialogue will be a real dialogue will be conducted or a rent price will be conducted and that is some part of some action so as they realize that we have the real one we have the real one are in a new religion especially the people under force so by by making the attack in the trend it has given a wider and a more wider attention so it is up for the attention it's now from the member of the government the city government and then the area so the area will be high that will be mounted by both the elite and the people on the authority as well as the other insolences under finance in addition there are six things that i want to do both for me the people on the authority and most of you the elite but most of you the citizens of the constitution and this is the one Nigeria is facing uh a non-enemy that is the bilateral enemy how come you mean Nigeria is facing another non-enemy that is the most lacerate enemy and both are the complexing kind of a conflict between the form of one and the angle of one nation in the rest of the struggle for the economy the economic survival struggle for power survival and so on that's it then number three of the most important in property whereby uh uh almost more than 80 to 90 percent of the people men we are not supposed to be they are they are they are critical because we don't have we don't have a pattern we are not advantageous and number four there is more modernization there was no enemy before made by Nigeria the only thing that is not going to be Nigeria's government is to keep the money because they were most really out of position of tracking and checking whether this money will really neutralize in the process of killing you if you got this also why you call it and then number five the the corruption is becoming has become so enormous to the extent that uh you remember the minister of finance that mission that uh within a couple of months uh even uh almost two to three years ago they are holding back and then the people who are the next one at uh these amount of money and then also you can look at the budget presented by the president you know i i i started here and then i challenge the administration from all the budget they have made especially on the second we have which is very clear that the money is uh projected so what happens to the implementation of that budget so that means that the budget for security that has been done for 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 and 2021 we know we have to figure and we have seen the influence of all the money that is coming through the revenue from the oil so and the scope of the budget is very small so you see you have the money why do you utilize the money until the situation is deteriorating in the country and then finally number six the government the civil government the lack of the synchronization between the civil government and the local government even though you can see that you are not in the local government because what we have is so like in fact it is not the first time and what we said so as far as you can see the local government is just by air that means but the approach in there is more and for now it relates to the budget the approach being used even the government and so if you look at this is something that the governor of Zafara that's a total budget that's of Niger they are kind of doing a duty for future with one another most really confronting the security challenge that is affecting the delirium of this okay could he also be let's look at you know this particular school of thoughts they believe that you know when insurgents want to cripple a system the target infrastructure and that's this is a public infrastructure could he also be that this is actually the you know the end game for this group of peasants sorry yeah who's that gets it can you hear us now what i'm saying you have some school of thoughts that believe that for insurgents usually the target is always to cripple the entire system they begin to target public infrastructure now could this also mean that this is also another means this is what their end goal end goal is targeting public infrastructure could it be could this be the aim of this attack to cripple the system by targeting government infrastructures you know we have internal conflict within the country so this internal conflict can be the target the priority the primary target why be attached to the public we have issues of funding it may be the target we have issues of foreign forces it may be the target we have issues around the the kind of public issues between the government agency it can be the most the most motivation factor why this kind of attack so if government if we really have a serious attack i expect them probably within 48 hours to come out with a blueprint that will tell their government will tell the public what they mean to answer it but now for anybody to kind of say that the target is to attack the public infrastructure it is attacking if they don't suppose you have to stress who is who does and then what is the moment i have the only justification in the attack to say here the attack is from the infrastructure because if this really you guys don't target the infrastructure you have so many public infrastructure that are in the spotlight are aware that you don't have any specific attack because you don't have enough access to the public infrastructure so if you have attack the qualities of this which if you have attack other federal institution which is more India if you have attack many other state that are more exclusive remember that you have an entity the primary which is far away from the center so if really the target is to attack the public infrastructure it is not attacking the entity the primary and the attack on the development they are more directly than indirectly that they are it's not even 123 less than their funding and you have so many other public infrastructure around that school has been attacked i didn't believe that the target is to hit the public infrastructure alone i am not going to keep in a diverse way which can only be proved by the intelligence finding which i accept if Nigeria is really in a country that manages uh uh uh to use intelligence to to to manage information and manage intelligence i accept them to provide at least intelligence to the list just a hint so the purpose to give the company confidence i remember the life because many people will not change the trend again in their life you know that's why many people will understand it from so it will also affect the performance of the The government of the United Arab Emirates, or Raja, a common man who only used to speak with the Panod Kedadi, Shia, the Sadina Abidara, Mr. Yohan, just to certify and certify to everybody that Nigerians can both manage and provide currency and system, which really explains that the government, the moment why the government felt in its promises working especially in respect to currency of life and property. Okay, Mr. Geto, talk a little bit more, because I'm really just looking at the very, very intricate details on this incident. Talk a little bit more about the explosives and the fact that they are using explosives now. I remember that in quite a while we've not heard of bomb blasts going on in northern Nigeria. It used to be the method of operation, mostly Boko Haram's method of operation, all the way to 2014, a little bit of 2015 I believe, but that seems to have stopped. So does this in any way put any fear in you that these persons might resort to using bombs once again? Well, the reality is that, yes, of course, who are the Boko Haram? I had been passing before many, many of the persons in this session, the leader of IED, that is a missing device. Yes. Now, it is a very clear issue of this moment. It is a saying that there is a clear relationship, or a clear behavioral approach, in the way of which the different groups of stimulus are affected in northern Nigeria and most of the northern Nigeria are affected in northern Nigeria as well. Because it is like a presiding order that people cannot achieve it after being tried. So, and it is very clear that there is probably some information that the amount of money and the amount of other value, value, value are being transferred to the leaders there, whereby many of the AEDs are moving in the same system and probably some of them are even moving in cash. The amount of cash, probably the correct, not only given to the local non-emissions, probably the direct non-emissions, and the non-emissions and so on and so forth. So, if we pass anything to the trade, by accepting our fee, while we can use a bomb or any instrument, I am thinking about it, it's an opportunity so that we can earn more attention and then help people be able to understand the whole world that we are still on ground. And then to also express that it is not only the work of arms that are operated in the most distant parts of the country, it is probably the same as the tactics of the country, which I have so many questions on that. We are not discussing the program, but I know I have so many questions on that issue of the sentence surrendering or whatever the problem. So, if we go through that, the use of exclusive divided, divided against the trade, this means we will go far away to probably attacking people in the airports, not only in the trade. Because that is an example. This is for Nigerian government. This is for Nigerian government. This is an important responsibility in Nigeria, that is to set up a road. To look at ourselves, I want to talk about self-assessment, and set the range before it is too late for all of us. Okay, let's quickly talk about could we have prevented this attack on the rail tracks?  As far as things are found, from what I understand, I have been leading the trade between the Minas and Niger and Niger, and I have used the trade in our country where I live today. So, where I live today. So, I don't see up to the day when this is going to come. The trend is that the trend is expected more suffer than in the Arab world. Why is that? There are a number of stages. If you look at the rail station, you have so many locations. You have a trend used to stop. Sometimes, where it used to stop for the one waiting for the other one, you have to wait for the other one to stop. You just have to stop because it doesn't have enough rail lines. So, what I assume is true is that there is a certain demand in which the authority of the Niger rail station in collaboration and partnership with Turkey isn't, as well as the forest market and other communities around the rail where the rail passes through. There is a nine-thirty-and-thirty measure using the modern technology of the CCCD and other things where there can be other charts if there's anything along the line of the rail in between one station and another. There are many associations, many intelligence companies through the partnership with the community, through the partnership with the forest market, through the partnership with other civil-regional structures, as well as the four-month organized security structure, and intelligence on a certain target will be in place. It will have been actually in place. But what happens are four leaders. It is the same thing, the same scenario, the same strategy. The way people are, are not being provided where the address arrives to, using the rightful intelligence to manage the lives and properties with our numerous villages, towns, urban and semi-urban communities. There's something that is being done to manage them with that challenge. Which means that there are various issues you must, in any way, ready to provide to the public.  I cannot, in any way, trust them anymore. All right. So now I want you to talk with specifics, if you can, as to what must be done if we believe that the Nigerian government is serious about ensuring that travelers on the roads and through the rail lines and in the air are completely safe. What would you say must be done in response to what we're discussing this morning, the attack on the rail line, in order for the NRRC to be back in fully operation now to ensure that travelers are safe? Well, what I would say is that the intelligence team, the joint intelligence team need to put their thoughts together and work more closely with the forest merchant if they are available, and if they are not available. When I get a radio operation, it suggests strongly that if they really want to sustain the tempo and regard the confidence of the public and at the same time sustain and manage the security and intelligence wisely, there is need to have a kind of a unit, a specific unit for kind of engagement of forest merchant and using them in kind of a partnership and collaboration with other former and non-formal security agents. And at the same time, there is also need to conduct a full filing assessment of at least 10 kilometer radius yet a right between the rail line right especially in the areas of Jere, the areas of Djambusa, the areas of Ida, the areas of Audubandja, the areas of Gadar Malamomo, the areas of Achilugu, the areas of Kateri because these are the most notorious, most dangerous parts of Kaduna Abuja rail line and also Kaduna Abuja route if you are going by road. So there is need to also conduct a kind of use of collaboration between the air spy and the soldiers, the Nigerian army on the ground to move around and swipe some of those areas and also for women to expand a kind of secreting. That's why I started a very good job and I'm really committed to that and I would appreciate if you could come back because they started secreting some of the thick forests that we have, which the criminals are using is a hideout. And then I know there was also initiatives in the 80s and 70s from the records of the 90s whereby a forest machine as well as the other hunters are collaborating and partnering with security agencies within the local communities around. So if that could be done and then also a kind of the Nigerian law cooperation and the government of Nigeria to have a kind of scanner that will be used or any other device that can press the presence of the probably if there is a bomb or any of the exclusive device there so that something can be managed. And at the same time there is need to have a monitoring team either on air or by road or intelligence that will be moving around between one station and another so that they can have a reporting system whereby they can be reporting to the nearby station. Like I said, there are so many stations in between. So there is need to have a tracking mechanism whereby one station will be reporting to another and then the radio message that they are using probably cannot cover up to one station and another it's need to have that communication mechanism that will be utilized in tracking that will prevent any occurrence in the future. Okay, don't you also think that maybe it is high time we deploy a security surveillance camera on our the trainways and also the roads as well just to help mitigate all of these attacks? I don't think the CCTV is sustainable but there may be other security devices which I will not want to discuss on a public domain simply because there is need for us also to support the security operators in doing their job despite the cost but we know that they are not doing enough because they are handcuffed, they don't have training, they don't have space, they don't have orientation so they are not serious and they are not protected most of them, they don't have passion, no compassion and then no organized kind of partnership and synchronization and symmetry between the security operators but there are other devices which are more sensitive than CCTV that can be utilized so nobody should not, government and a general operation should not even allow anybody to know about those devices and these devices can be used in terms of scanning and the streaming and finding out and efficient out any other trainers and getting him or her or getting them wherever they may be and whenever they want to do their rubbish and against behavior and I believe also that's why from the criminality of terrorist behavior therapy within the forest of West half of the country, I know there are different groups and particular type of criminals but to some extent as far as I'm concerned the way Nigerian government is dealing with the criminals and criminality in managing situation in our forest I swear to God we are bringing criminals, we are not managing the situation, we are bringing criminals and then in the next few years it is going to be worst, people didn't change the direction of the approach we are using now. Mr. Getzo, in the interim the trains haven't suspended along that line I'm sure that they will be working towards bringing them back but I want you to, I know you may not have proper information on this but just to paint a clearer picture of what exactly we are dealing with here how do you think that these bandits have made it to the rail lines how do they move at those places maybe with motorcycles how did they get to that particular place where they planted the explosives is it possible that they can be spotted on their way there also would we now need to have armed officers and policemen on those trains to ensure that passengers feel somehow safer moving forward well the reality is we don't have personnel we don't have adequate personnel to do that and these criminals bandits, terrorists, whatever you call them based on my knowledge with the forest and some of the hard terrain and some of the cliffs and some of the difficult places yes of course they use different strategies they use motorcycles they move by road they move in disguise some of them use vehicles as drivers some of them even use expensive vehicles pretending and some of them are mixing up with affected communities around to conduct their activities around yes of course you can be spotted but the problem how do you conduct a lot of monitoring and tracking that you can get them spotted and then deal with the situation when you don't have the adequate personnel to do the job I have been advising the government if we really want to be silenced why can't we recruit at least 40 from each of the polling units so if you have 10 polling units in the political world you have 400 between the age of 17, 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 who are very agile and we have so many unemployed youth roaming around even if they don't know remember that during the colonial administrators when our people cannot understand left and right they use a strategy so if you have 200 in the world and then in a given local government you have 10 political world then you have 4,000 so if you recruit 4,000 from each local government in Nigeria or from the front and distribute them in all those agencies based on the needs like air force, IME, VSS civil defense, immigration, customs police, NIA and so on and so forth and then those who are not educated after giving them good adequate training you can get sent as a tourist merchant we need to work back to the old strategies which we believe and I make with a professional and expert who know the forest character there must be utilization of a forest merchant either using them in a formal structure or as a non-formal structure either using them as age pieces or as an interest that should be engaged by the government so probably these are some of the things that need to be put to place before the train is turned back but at the same time government should work hard and the Nigeria Railroad Corporation should also work hard which is relevant for these tourist agencies and other non-formal intelligence structures available within the communities of the operations to be sure that the train is back in no longer time because the longer, the more they believe the more they build the confidence of the criminals that the government is even afraid of them government doesn't have the opportunity that they also generate momentum and have more confidence and believe that they can worst the much they have tested Alright, so I just think that you just took the question right out of my mouth because I was going to ask you how long do you think that the train services should be suspended for and like you have rightly mentioned you're saying it shouldn't be for too long so that it does not kill the morale of the people and this should also be a means where the Nigerian government should step up and boost the confidence of the people in the combat against insecurity and insorgency in Nigeria Well, at maximum, it shouldn't last more than two weeks at maximum, if the hire, that is the highest Well, it depends on you know what But if the intelligence and the spiritual operatives and government will sit off with responsibility within the need of much people they should allow the transport team Well, it depends, you know, when they are done fixing Yeah, Mr. Getzo, would it also be dependent on when they fix Can you hold on, Mr. Getzo? Apologies, I'm asking, wouldn't it also be dependent on when they fix the damaged rail line or rail track rather before they can now of course ensure that it is safer to travel on It might be more than two weeks from what it looks like I'm not a technical person I'm not an engineer so I cannot satisfy that but from my common knowledge as a layman in Nigeria because that is not my area If they can I think they should quickly try and fix it within three weeks that is the rail line, the ventilated rail line and then the rail will come back to operation within a week or less at maximum Yeah, but I mean, you're also not going to be throwing people back on the road or back on the rail simply because you fix the train and you fix the track You also need to ensure that people feel safe and so one week or two weeks while they are fixing these things be enough for them to also ensure that there's no repeat of this incident Let me tell you something No responsible Nigerian believe that Nigeria is safe Nigeria is not safe Nigeria is safe, the whole Nigeria is safe So we are just using confidence to move and to come out so that we don't die in our way But the reality, Nigeria is not safe now because there is nowhere that you can move even two kilometers Two kilometers, nowhere in Nigeria that you can move two kilometers with confidence and belief that you, from whom two kilometers have come out two kilometers confidentially believe in that nothing will happen to you even in Lagos, even in Potapot even in Aguja, even in the city of Manila even within the government houses I want to tell you people within the presidential village people are not safe the church was intelligent they will tell you that there are so many of the devices even around the presidential village that are not working even the so-called CCTV cameras that were installed in other places in the village they are not working and you don't have adequate personnel So Nigeria is not a safe land So we should stop this even ourselves so that we will fix this in Germany No, let them do something so that we will discourage the criminals in having the confidence and conviction that they have the capability to fight and all they have the ability the capability to do and own them The government need to prevent them But the more, the longer the government allow this thing to delete the process of allowing the French to resume the more you are building the confidence of the criminals and then you are taken away from other criminalities to imagine I mentioned, remember I mentioned one word I refuse to elaborate it for a reason because I am speaking of public domain we are bringing criminalities government institutions and security agencies are bridging are helping in bridging criminals and criminalities in all parts of the country going by the way we are managing security situations Mr. Getzo we would have to let it go here it's a conversation that is extremely important and can go on for days we hope for the best and we hope that the Nigerian government understands the angles that you've pointed out and the things that need to be done but thanks for the work that you do the government will always stay safe while you travel and of course continue to gather intelligence for security have a great weekend well that's the much we can take at this point in time if you are missed out on any part of the conversation it's alright to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to be part of the conversation you can also check out YouTube it's a Klaus TV Africa I am Mercier Bohol have a great weekend


Well hello there. You must have just purchased or are thinking about purchasing your first ready to fly first person view drone. This is a very special time in a new pilot's life and you must be quite excited. But wait, before you just go and try and rip the skies, there's some things that you should know to have a good drone experience. And don't worry, here. Right, I'm Lydred. And I'm Bortex. Getting into drones is difficult. Usually you have to build them yourselves, learn how to solder, pit-tune. You're watching endless YouTube videos just to find that one little question you have. Marvel's got like literally thousands of videos you don't know where to start. So I wrote a write, we're trying to make this easier by offering ready to fly. So you can just pull them out of the box and fly. And we've got the HD1, we've got the Cinewhip, we've got the Skyliner. So a couple different options and more are coming. So when we say it's a ready to fly package, it's genuinely totally ready to fly.  But we want to make sure you guys have the best experience possible. You're not making mistakes. So we want to go through the basics of what you do need to do to get it up in the air. Yeah, we've made it as simple as possible, but you still might have questions. Or maybe you bought a ready to fly drone from someone else. And it's not as ready. You want to check some things along the way. So whether you got a pre-built drone from us or another source, we want to walk you through the things that you should check, how to be safe about it and how to make sure you have a good experience and actually get it in the air. This is what you're going to get if you order the full build with the radio and the drone. Quick start guide. This is going to tell you where all your switches are going to do and just give you some general tips. It's going to come with props. Get your drone, goggles, the radio. Don't worry that this stuff's already been opened up. It's for a reason. It's because the first thing we do is charge these radios because they take a few hours to charge. And when they ship them, they're like almost totally dead and it takes like five or six hours to charge.   And when you need to recharge it, it's just a USB-C cable. It does take a while to charge, but the charge lasts for a long time. I think a charge might maybe once every three or four weeks. You got your goggles. You're going to have to put your head strap on this that's going to be located in here, which is also going to have your power cable. The goggles do not have a built-in battery. You're going to use, I think, anything from a two to a four cell to charge those. And what I typically do is I just use the same batteries that I'm going to use for my drone. Although I'm not usually a fan of having the cable hanging down, it's worth it to not worry about extra batteries and make it last a good long time. We'll put the strap on. I know it kind of looks like a jock strap. It's not. This is actually the head strap. To tell the way that it's supposed to go, there's actually a little DJI logo on there. So you want that facing up. And that part is going to be the strap that goes over the top of your head. Throw that in that middle one. These on the sides. If you've ever flown any kind of DJI radio before, you'll probably already know the little sequence to turn it on. If not, I'm about to show you. So it's a short tap and then a hold. That's how you turn it on. If you just push the button, it's not going to come on. Short tap, then a hold.  It's going to beep like this, letting you know that you haven't dropped the throttle. It's like a little safety feature. So if you just bring that down, beeping will stop. You can stop annoying people. You're going to need your separate battery to turn on the goggles. Plug this guy in like a sew. He's plugging right over here. We got goggles. Also, in your excitement, don't forget, put your antennas on the goggles because you can fly without them. It'll work, but you're just not going to get the range you're supposed to get. It's not going to hurt anything if you happen to forget to put your antennas on. That's always on the transmitting side. Anything on the drone side, you always have to have your antennas on. So these just thread right in nice and simple. There's going to be four of them. Now you can plug in your drone. And what we should see is this red light here should go to green once it picks up the signal. Boom. So we're bound. That's telling you that you have connection. You can check that by flicking some switches. There's your beeper switch. We're going to go into that more in a second. I can check the goggles to see that I have video. I do have video and it's already been set up on channel one. So when you buy it from us, everything is going to be set up ready to go. You can literally just flick the switch and it's going. But let's say you built your own or you got something from somewhere else. Or for some reason, it's just it's not bound. It's really easy to bind. So all you're going to do is a little button on the side of the area unit right here just over from where the LED is. All you do is push it in and you don't want to push it too hard. I have had a customer break that button off by matching on it too hard. It doesn't take much pressure at all. You just push it. The LED is going to change colors. Now you come over to the goggles and there's another matching button that looks just like it right here on the goggles. Push that you're going to listen for the beep. Boom. Now that's set up. Now to get the controller bound, you're going to go back to the drone, hit the button again. Same as before. Now there's an interesting little sequence of buttons here. Three buttons you're going to press at the same time to get this into bind them. The first one is this record button right here, which is also used to stop and start your recording. You're going to use this front button on the right and then the scroll wheel up here actually can also be pressed in. So you're going to press that that and that at the same time. Let that beep. Boom. So you got your drone. Everything is bound up. What do you do next?  Don't do that. That's probably been the biggest thing that we've gotten from support right when people usually if someone has an issue and they're like, well, I flashed it and now this or that you don't need to flash it. We've already done a lot of testing and figured out what's the optimal firmware to have it on. What's the best tune? At first I was very confused as to why people were doing this, but it actually makes a little bit of sense because a lot of other things that you buy like video game consoles, computers, your iPhone, whatever. Yeah, it's kind of common. The first time you plug it in, it's like, oh, you need to update your firmware. You need to update the software. You need to update this, update that. You have to update your couch before you can sit on it. Everything is updated now. And the same is true with drones. There probably is new software firmware out there. The real problem is with the drones when you upgrade the firmware, it wipes all of your settings. So unlike upgrading your smart TV, the drone gets completely wiped. So what we send you is totally flyable. In fact, sometimes we will even send the drones with an older version of the firmware because there might be bugs on newer releases. So this is your first drone experience and the first thing you do is plug it into a USB flash it. You've now gone and erased all the settings and you're going to have to start from scratch. If you do end up with this issue, check out our build videos. In our build videos, we walk you not only through assembling the entire drone, but also the configuration. So you should be able to follow step by step how to reconfigure your drone. And if you really can't figure it out, as always, you can send an email to support at rotariot.com. We'll get you taken care of. So once you're bound up, you can test out where your switches do. We have them all listed here for you. So all the switches on the radio are indicated by letters. So you have s a s b s c s d. We got them listed right here and it tells you what each one's assigned to you. The default position for all your switches is up and away from you. So you always want to start with the front two up and then these away. Every switch is just going to be the opposite of that.  That's the way I like to think of it is it's going bad. It's going bad. Get it away from me. Just push it away and disarm. The only other switch that you're going to actually see what it's doing while it's on the bench is going to be switch s d. That's your beeper. So pull that one towards you. Again, this is how you're going to find it when you crash in the field and you're just lost. You don't know where you're at. While I mentioned that, it's also a good idea. Make sure to strap this connection down well. So you want your battery straps to hold that because the difference between finding your drone when it's plugged in and not plugged in, it's huge. When you can do this piece of cake, listen for the beep, go find it. If you don't got that, it's tricky. The beepers only going to work if the battery is plugged in. You got beep, that comes unplugged. When you got all your stuff on the bench like this and you want to test out your switches and everything, you can't have the props on. That's rule number one. In general, these things aren't too dangerous if you're pretty careful, but if it hits you and it's going full throttle, it'll slice you up. So always, always, always take the props off when you have things anywhere other than you're about to fly it. Okay, so we can check the arming switch. This is the number one question and concern that I get. I get calls all the time about this.  On the bench, that's completely normal for that to do that. It's, it's just because of the way that the gyro is meant to work. It's supposed to be suspended in the air. When it's sitting on the ground, it's just building up this error. So long story short, don't be concerned about that. That's, it's not going to run away in the sky when you put props on it.  Just let it fall. It's always better once you've gotten past the point that you don't have control anymore to just let it fall out of the sky than to try to bring it back because sometimes it's just going to end up getting further away from you and you shouldn't be flying anywhere where, if it were to fall at any given time, it's going to be a problem anyways. Another thing you can test out on the bench is how turtle mode works. So turtle mode is going to be on your SC switch. You flick that down and when you arm it, nothing's going to happen. But if I were to give it some roll, you're going to notice only two motors are spinning and they spin the opposite way. So you're going to get flipped over, you're going to disarm. Now don't forget to get back out of turtle mode. I've done this before where I crash and then I go to arm and like, I can't go anywhere.  So now you got to flick out of turtle mode. Now you're back to normal operation. So there's one more switch but there's not really any way for me to show you what it does on the bench and that's SB. So that switch is going to put you into auto level. What auto level is for is it's going to make the drone perform more like a phantom where when you push the stick it'll move forward but as soon as you let off it's going to level back off for you. It's not going to be as stable because there's no GPS but it can really help for when you're not used to the sticks yet to just be able to let off and it's going to flatten out for you. But we don't really recommend to stay there too long because in the end you're going to be able to fly a lot better when you have full control over the drone. There's only one last thing to do before we take this thing for a test flight. You got to put your props on. So hopefully along with your purchase you have bought a prop tool or you have a tool. It's just an eight millimeter nut driver. You might have something in the garage if not just pick one up from the store. You want to make sure these are nice and snug though. If they come loose on you it's going to get bad. How do you know which way they go? Well the first thing to make sure is that you have it right side up.  Just about every prop that I've ever seen it has what model of prop it is molded right onto it and that's always going to be on the top side. The other way you can kind of tell is pretty much every prop every blade of every prop it's got a little bit of curve to it. So you always want it curving this way not this way. The leading edge of the blade is always going to be the higher one.  Same concept with this. So leading edge is higher and also there's almost always a swoop to the edge of the blade. Swoop going that way that means the props going this way. Every set of props provided they didn't screw up and give you the wrong ones you're going to have two pairs. There's going to be two that are the same and then two that are the opposite way. The ones that are the same go on opposite corners. So the way that most drones are set up is for the props to spin inward where the front two props spin toward the camera the back two props spin towards the antennas. You can think of the drone as giving you a hug with them props. But some specific builds we found there's an advantage to having it go the other way. So our cinema build? Our cinema build is a props outbuild. It's swimming. Yeah it's like swimming. Just keep swimming. The front motors go in towards the camera the back motors go in towards the butt. So if I look at this prop I know that it's swooping this way this is meant to spin that way so that's going to go over here. Leading edge of the blade is higher and the profile of blade sweeps back. So I take the one that's a pair of that it's the same goes opposite corner. Now the thinking is done. You only got two props left. You only got two motors left. Can't get wrong. And then you want to snug those babies down. Don't be shy about getting these nice and tight. I've also had some customers have issues like my quad sounds weird it doesn't have any power and what it is is if you don't tighten these down enough when you punch the throttle hard it can actually slip underneath of that nut and spin freely. You don't want that. Nice and snug. You shouldn't be able to hold the motor and turn the prop at all. It should be in there nice and when you're tightening these up you want to find a good grip to where you can kind of hold the motor. What I do is I usually take a blade and I hold right over that and then I know that as I'm turning it it's gonna want to turn so I'm kind of gripping onto the blade and the motor at the same time. Just go to you know hand tight and then give it one little and that should do it. Props are on. It's time to do our first little test hover. Drone's plugged in. Got the radio there. Well you need to understand as soon as you touch that switch you're live.  You need to treat this kind of like a loaded weapon. It's ready to go at any time so just remember I'll press the opposite way of to like keep it disarmed. I'll like keep pressure on that switch as I'm walking around. You want to really make sure you don't hit that switch. We definitely recommend doing this test hover line of sight. That means you're not actually in the goggles yet. I know you want to get flying. You're excited. Don't go full throttle yet. In fact, don't go any throttle yet. Right. What I like to do make sure your directions are going the right way. Right. They should because we've set it up but maybe you got to put somewhere else and maybe you just you should just be careful. It's just good practice and it's also a safe way to test that you put the props on right. That too. On the right stick you're going to gently push forward and even without raising throttle that should lift the tail of the drone up and then you're going to let go of the stick back to center and it'll come back to the ground and then you can do that for every direction. If you're really new just do like little bunny hops and this is also going to help you practice landing. Just take off try to move forward a couple of feet and land it.  So when you're hovering I'm only ever moving the stick about that much. There's not going to be a lot going on in a hover.   That's what will happen if you give it too much. So it's really subtle movements. Like if you can see my thumbs I'm just barely moving it. Even though it may seem like a hover is a super simple thing to do it's actually not easy to hover a quad right in one spot. So if you can't do it that's that's normal. Almost nobody can keep it planted as well as a DJI drone will do. But it's a really good practice because if you can keep it in relatively small space that's going to teach you really good stick control for when you're out flying FPV. You're not just getting all over the place. It gives you a feeling for how much stick movement translates to how much drone movement. So you got your drone. You didn't erase it. You got it binded. You put the props on the correct way. You verified this with a test hover.  You got video. You're so ready to fly. I think it's time to get out. I think it's time to go fly. I think it's time to go fly. Right up and down your neighborhood. No. No. You got to think about where you're flying guys. You got to fly in a safe location. We recommend parks with big caveats. Okay. Parks seem like a great place to fly but they can be a horrible place to fly because people go to parks for other reasons than flying. Yeah. And kind of as a rule of thumb, if there's anyone else there, you probably shouldn't fly there. You want to find yourself a nice empty field, especially when you're starting out or when you want to start flying around obstacles like trees or things like that. That area needs to be empty. There should be no one there that's not part of the activity that's not also flying that's spotting free or something like that. Yeah. Someone will pop about a nowhere walking their dog in a heartbeat. Person. Okay. Where'd you come from? So it's really beneficial if you're kind of familiar with the area of like, you know a park, you know that people play soccer over there. So you're going to be over here and you really want to be away from people, especially if you're new, but always. Like when we see a bunch of people we're like, we're out of here. We don't fly around cars. We don't fly around people. People get into this because they see some of the videos that we do where we get to do really awesome stuff like chase cars and fly around people. And those are all controlled environments they're part of the operation and we want you to get there but when you're starting out you shouldn't be flying around vehicles. You shouldn't be flying around people. You want to have a nice remote open area and then work your way up to safe obstacles to fly around like trees still in a remote area. You know maybe empty parking lots eventually flying around lampposts and you know as long as it's empty all you're risking none is crashing a drone it's at the concrete. And these things are pretty tough but they will break from time to time. That's how you have fun. That's how you learn is crash show. I guess that's the last piece of advice I have is have fun and don't be afraid to crash. Push yourself. Push your limits. Learn new things. That's what's so great about this hobby. There's so much to learn from building and setting up the drone from actually flying the drone. It's very involved. It's very challenging but so so rewarding and we hope that by offering some of these ready to fly and build kit solutions we can make it easier if you do get into it. Please check out rotorite.com if you're thinking about getting into drones and you want to get a get a ready to fly drone if you already have ready to fly drone and you haven't been able to figure out how to get it in the air hopefully this video will help. And if after this video you still have questions please reach out to us at support at rotorite.com whether you bought your drone from us or not we want to get you in the air so we will help you guys figure out whatever it is that's holding you back from flying and enjoying the best hobby that's ever existed. The best. I'm Lydred. I'm Vortex. We'll see you next time. Have fun. Stay safe.


Do you ever wonder what happens when the police leave? Crime scene cleaners are private companies that handle the cleanup after the police are gone. Spalling DeCon is one of the nation's largest cleanup companies handling the aftermath of homicides, suicides, decompositions, hoarding, and much more. These are our stories. Alright guys, we're here. We got a nice little bio job of doing a car. It was on 275, coming from the passenger side over. We're working on a vehicle that was part of a shooting. And there's blood inside.  Oh! I found the first one! Really? Yeah! Looks like a 9mm. Don't exactly know the full story, but from what I've gathered so far, it was on 275, around, I'm gonna say, mile marker 40. Not sure where, coming from the passenger side over. That's about all we got. It's pretty gruesome on the center console. We have Big Ben with us today. So, it's gonna be a nice, easy, hot, sweaty, hard job. I'm guessing we got about four bullet holes. Can't exactly count them because two are kind of merged, so maybe two to four. So, just start with what time we're looking at. So, I'm guessing about four to five hours maybe. Around the center console, up near the base, or should I say the glove compartment area. There's a lot of electronic ports, holes, gaps that Bio could have dripped down in beneath that. So, there's no telling until we actually start pulling that out. We may be able to clean the top and it may look nice, but that doesn't mean we got it all. So, that's one of the challenges for today. Along with the extreme heat. I believe it's a heat index of 112. 112 today. 112 heat index. That's just a test. That came through this morning. What test does it take to set up a test? Okay, so note this out, let's leave this on. What I'm talking about, create a working environment right up here. Yeah. Get a fan blown? Yeah. Nice. Mariah. Come Mariah, come hither. Oh, Jesus. We need like a basketball player. There we go, Jason's tall enough. Oh, there's a Velcro. It'll be fine. Oh, it's Velcro. It's fine.  Yeah, but yeah. Yeah, if you want it to come down, you can leave the top on. This means like a 20 degree difference right here. You want the bean bag chairs too? Yes. Not in the gym though. Not in the gym though. Not in the gym. That's the purpose of the gym. Big bean bags. Well, I decided to come by this job here at the body shop. We're working on a vehicle that was part of a shooting.  And we've got a new franchise coach, and I wanted to expose him to the types of jobs that we do and meet some of our staff today. So Jason and I are here checking everything out. Hey guys, my name is Jason. This is my first day on the job here at Spalding Decon. And I got to come out to a gunshot car and check things out. So it's very interesting. And a lot to learn, so I'm excited to look forward to it. So it's dark carpet. We spray this when we want to see if there's blood anywhere. First step is actually unloading before we even tackle black. Get us a nice cool area set up. Although that way we don't overheat. We do have a cooler full of ice, liquids. That way we can stay hydrated, stay somewhat refreshed. The flies like swarmed out like a movie scene. Like there were like hundreds of flies just swarmed out. Charlie, that's terrible! That's the sign of the apocalypse. Yeah, it was. And I'll tell you, it's so ingrained in me now. Anytime I'm having a meal, if a fly touches it, I literally can't eat the rest of it. Because on my head I'm thinking, that fly was just on something dead. A human or an animal.    Your accent though makes it sound appealing. It does, it does. It's supposed to come with the meal. Me and Charlie will eat it. It's a delicacy. Well, I did a fun fact Friday. Eating maggots is actually a delicacy in some island in Spain. It's probably charred. It's cheese.  It pops. Does it really? It does smell like popcorn. So did you find some maggots? And you're like, I wonder if I set those on fire. It sounds like a pop pop one. Last year, myself, Kyle, and I think Nick was doing a job and we found a bunch of maggots on the floor and I said, let's have maggot races. And we literally lined up our maggots and we had a race. And I didn't win, my maggot didn't win. But anyway, so we're like, everybody let's name maggots. And they're like, Maggie the maggot, it's so cute. And now every time we go on a job, Maggie is our best employee, never files worker comp, never calls in sick and legit works 24-7. Oh, nice. Favorite employee. Is that indicating to me? We're not fully diving in. We're waiting for the steamer to heat up. Right now we're just taking some indicator, trying to figure out what seats need to come out. I was checking the passenger. Pia's over there checking the driver, which obviously needs to come out to begin with. I didn't see anything on the passenger. Well, we thought because there was stuff on the door. So we think it was, but it's not indicated. So it's probably spaghetti sauce from this container right there. About to get a lot hotter. Oh, tell me about it. Time to get in my workout uniform. Sweatsuit. Might as well, what have you called? Fighting the urge to not work in my crocs.  Oh, that was the first one. Really? Yeah. 10 points. Looks like a 9mm. Looks like. Just from the shape of it. There you go. What's up? I actually don't see where it hit. In here. Scratching. So after it went through on the other side, would be the metal on the other side slowed it down enough for it to penetrate this. Just enough for it to fall into. That's why the hole isn't that big as if it were to be coming out or going through another hole. So that's pretty interesting find. What do you think of me? First thing I'm going to try and do is beat on a bigger one to see if I can get it done. If that don't work, I'm going to have to kind of slot in it and use it as like a flathead. Can you bring me a hammer? Completely dry. I got to get out of this. It's to the point where it feels like I am burning from the outside in, or inside out, sorry, inside out. A little breathing. Lightheaded. Not good. We are currently stuck. Still stuck on that one bolt. It's stripped. Yeah, so the bolt got stripped.  Didn't find another bullet yet. We might vacuum out the glass just as a courtesy. You know, we're already here. Might as well clean out the whole front. Live up to our name. We are here to try and make people's lives easier. And try and fix the wrong that life has done to everybody else. So, you know, we might end up just cleaning out the whole car. Any last words for now?  My ball sweat has ball sweat. I have major boob sweat going on. Waterfalls? Niagara Falls? Not the good kind. Too many falls. Just to give you guys a little update. It's been a hard day. It's been a hot day. What was it, 107? Yeah, when we checked. Something like that. Hot enough to where 10 minutes in, I was already bringing out my shirt. After dumping out our toolbox trying to find what we could use, he ended up going into the body shop over there and asking them for the specific set of tools to remove the seats.  Luckily, I was able to beat it on there as I was trying to do with other things. And got the front driver seat out. We don't know if the passenger seat needs to come out yet, but so we don't have to ask again tomorrow because this just turned into a two day job thanks to the generator not wanting to run.  I did loosen those. So all that's really left, steering wheel and the center console and the carpet. Stay in the shade. Stay hydrated. And stay hydrated. See you guys tomorrow. All right guys, we're back here with day two of this hellish bio. It is, again, excruciatingly hot. We do have the canopy set up. I got a new tech with us today. What's your name again? Haley. I have Haley with me today. I got her with me today teaching her how to do the remaining of the car bio. Hey, I'm Haley. I started at Spaulding DeCons location in North Carolina. And this is my first day doing a biohazard with Nick. Nick's really nice to me. I haven't done a car before so this is going to be kind of new. I'm really kind of anxious about everything but Nick's been a really great help to me and I'm ready to get back into it. So all right through here and even more so in the back. Also down in there and it's even on this fabric right here. So right now I'm trying not to let anything pop up in my face. This is why I'm not forcing it so hard. But nonetheless it still needs to come up. All right guys, so at this point I'm getting too overheated. I've been feeling kind of woozy. We're going to have another team come back tomorrow. Hopefully early in the morning management has decided that I am pushing myself too far. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of it. Can't wait to see how it turns out at the end. Enjoy guys. Well I'm John. This is day 3. I came here to get the center console out. Get the carpet out and remove the seats and vacuum and make sure that everything was indicated and make sure there was no blood evidence anywhere. Steam it. Go ahead and steam it and then we'll go ahead and put it back in the car so that it will be completely clean. Spray it again with indicator and make sure it's the right way and go ahead and call it done. Center console we did have to remove because all the electronics were saturated and blood so we did have to get rid of that. But that's the only thing we're going to have to take with us. Everything else can be put back in the car and be used like me.  Don't forget to like, share, subscribe and ring that bell to be notified of the next episode.

Good morning, Hank. It's Tuesday. It's Question Tuesday, the day that I answer real questions from real nerdfighters. Let's get right to it. What are you reading? Well, I just read an amazing book by a first novelist named Hank Green. I don't want to say anything more until it's available for pre-order, but wow, it's, like, properly brilliant. And now I'm reading an Introduction to Global Health Delivery, which is quite different from Hank's book, but also excellent. What's your favorite song at the moment? So my kids have discovered that their uncle Hank is a musician whose songs you can listen to on Spotify, and they won't stop listening to him. I've probably heard this is in Hogwarts 10,000 times in the last two weeks, and I have to say it's pretty darn good. Is this becoming a Hank Green appreciation vlog? No more Hank for the rest of the video. Thoughts on Brexit and Pairs? Now that is a Question Tuesday question, so sometimes I'll be at the grocery store and I'll think, you know what future me would like to eat? Pairs.  And then later, when I am future me, I'll open up the refrigerator and think, Ugh, I really wish I hadn't gotten these pairs. I wish I could just return them and get my money back because I completely misapprehended my appetite for pairs. But you can't return pairs. Speaking of which, pairs or apples? Mmm, I don't know if we're still talking about Brexit, but regardless, apples. In Turtles All the Way Down, how can Daisy say that Attack of the Clones is the most underrated Star Wars movie? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I'm gonna try not to respond to hostility with hostility here, but look, Daisy's wrong about a lot of things, but she is right about this. Empire Strikes Back, correctly rated as the best Star Wars movie. A New Hope, also correctly rated as Excellent. Return of the Jedi is, if anything, slightly overrated. Rogue One and The Force Awakens are both rated correctly. The Phantom Menace is correctly rated as The Worst. Revenge of the Sith widely and appropriately believed to be the best of the prequels, leaving Attack of the Clones as the only and ergo most underrated Star Wars movie. Hey John, you working on anything new? Yeah, I've got a new series over at Hank Games called John Green Solves Your Problems, in which I play FIFA while solving people's problems. So far, I've solved the problem of somebody who couldn't reach the spot on their back that itched, and someone else whose taste was too expensive for their budget. But over the course of many episodes, I'm hoping, you know, to solve all of the problems. Hey, which charities won the Project for Awesome money? These 25 charities will all be getting grants from this year's Project for Awesome. Congratulations to them, and thank you again to everyone who donated. How do you deal with stress? Poorly. Favorite Winona writer movie? Heathers. Are you having a midlife crisis yet? Maybe a little bit. How important is nature to you? I think the thing to remember is that we are nature just as much as like birds and trees are, so very important. Why isn't there any turtles all the way down Merch? There he is at dftba.com. You can find amazing posters and also a wonderful pencil set with quotes from the book. Favorite Marvel character? Probably the Hulk. Favorite DC character? Right now, probably Paul Manafort. I cannot look away from the Paul Manafort storyline. Are you upset about this? No, I'm just glad my books can be useful. When did you get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? I didn't. That star belongs to the John Green who won five Oscars, not me who once won an MTV Movie Award. What is the most likely way for humans to go extinct? This is a question I spend a fair amount of time thinking about. I think disease is still most likely followed by some kind of AI or post-human species rendering us obsolete, followed by an extinction level war. Basically, I still think it's most likely that microorganisms will be our undoing, but I think there is a growing possibility that we will be our own undoing. How do you stop worrying about not living your life to the fullest? Well, I don't know how to stop worrying, but I do think the idea of living your life to the fullest is a little flawed. Like, why is jumping out of an airplane inherently better than reading a book, or why is living a life that looks good on Instagram inherently more meaningful than a life lived quietly? I just don't buy it like Yudor Welty wrote, a sheltered life can be a daring life as well, for all serious daring starts from within. So live your life. Hank, I will see you on Friday.


Good morning and welcome to the Monday market update with me David Madden. Today's date is Monday the 7th of January 2019 and the time has just gone 935 GMT We've had a fairly quiet start to the session this week in Asia overnight Eight most Asians rack markets finished a little bit higher just on the on the back of the announcement that Chinese and US Trade negotiators are to actually hold trade talks between today and tomorrow now There's been nobody can update or progress on that front But it's the very announcement of them back in the last week at the trade talks We take place on the 7th and 8th of January Lift has lifted our investment a better sentiment So we finish a little bit higher in Asia overnight. We started positive positive Here in Europe this morning, but equity markets in Europe have turned over a turnover on themselves again Bearing in mind. We did have a very strong finish to a fairly volatile week last week Looking back at Friday's moves with between a very very Positive jobs update from the United States and also some less hawkers Some could even say slightly kind of more neutral comments From Jerome Powell the head of the Federal Reserve that helped equity markets I finish in quite a high note. This reminds you the jobs data came in well above in The non-framed payrolls figure headline figure came in well above expectations 212,000 versus a 177,000 that were expected on the year-on-year basis average earnings came in at 3.2 percent It's joint highest in it in a decade That's probably the most important figure of the actual update Given that when US workers earn earn more they tend to spend more and so we can underline the strength of the US economy And on Friday afternoon, we're from Jerome Powell who stated that the the Federal Reserve We're gonna be a bit patient when it comes to their planning their monetary policy and also he stated about their policy is Flexible so this is a bit of a backtrack In comparison we've heard in recent weeks and months or by the Federal Reserve previously You seem to be kind of gung-ho on kind of moving forward with Titling their titling monetary policy kind of even though they were kind of predicting a decline in growth and inflation in 2019 so that backtrack or that kind of move from slightly being less hawk used to get more and slightly more neutral The LFA directly markets on top of that It's a fairly quiet day today in terms of actual economic and corporate announcements So take a look now at some of the major markets as you the moods are going on Starting off with the with the FTSE 100 as as you can see here the FTSE 100 Since may has been a classic example of a downward trend nice series of lower lows and lower highs But we are well off the lows of late December We can see here that since around late December the market has been as has been moving higher We see we can see a nice to increase in positive momentum here on the back to indicator back to Instagram So the market is edging higher and I could put it like I said The FTSE open hard and hard this morning has turned over on itself. So this upward move that we're seeing here today We may may turn over on itself or make a little higher before we potentially look to kind of fall into the wider downward trend because keep Mind it's been a fairly obvious downward trend for a number of months now If you do look to push a higher from here We could be looking at targeting this blue line here the fifthly moving average, which could which could just come into play at 6,921 Notice how it managed to active resistance here in December and also in September and if a metric has actually had resistance in the past or support It makes it more likely that it will dose will do so in the future There's no guarantees, but it's possibility and a move beyond that could then bring the psychological important 7,000 mark into play Even if you do go to 7,000 the market still could look to turn over on itself because bearing in mind It's been a fairly obvious dowel trend for a number of months if the market does turn over on itself in the near term We could be looking any back down towards the 6,750 region this area here and a move below that would then bring the most recent low of 6,536 into play and if you go below that we'd be potentially looking heading back towards this region here in around the 6,435 Taking a look now what's going on over in Germany in the decks Once again, a classic example of a dowel trend has been a fairly aggressive dowel trend since about June, but this candle here Major move to the upside on Friday could be construed as a bearish Sorry a bullish a bullish engulfed. So this bit this jolt higher here could signal We are looking for a bit of a rebound in the near term And if you do look to push on higher from here, we could be looking at our including the 11,000 mark It's a big psychological number, but you notice notice you also notice how just north of 11,000 and in November and also in October Just north of it that region did act as support. So we could see a scenario where all support might become new resistance If you measure press on above The 11,000 mark resistance may come into play at this blue line here. They fit the moving average at 11,117 When the market rallied in early December, I didn't quite get there But I did manage active resistance and number of occasions back in September. So keep an eye out for that metric If the market those turnover on south yet again, we could be looking heading back down towards this this month The December low of 10,277 and if you go below that we could be looking heading up down towards the next big cycle It's a number of 10,000 The US markets are in better shape They're not an amazing shape, but they're in better shape than their European counterparts. So starting off with the Dow Jones As we can see here. It's had a fairly aggressive push higher Since late December and the market has been edging higher and even this morning the Dow futures managed to go take out Well, the very recent high so we are continuing on to edge higher If you do look to press on higher from here, we could be looking at in targeting the 24,000 region or perhaps up up to the 50 moving average 24,484 and if you go beyond that, we could be looking at targeting this trend at this trend line here That's trend line which connects the lows of February 2006 February 2018 of the lows of March April I noticed how it acted as support on a number of occasions a few months ago. So all support might become new resistance That's not to say that the US market couldn't rally couldn't rally in the near term before potentially Turning lower again. If the market does manage to turn over on itself We could be looking any back down towards 23,000 Below that next big year to keep an eye for it will be the will be the the late or sorry the early the early January low this is this area here 22,587 and a move below that brings back down to potentially to 22,000 then below that We will potentially retesting December lows It's a reasonably similar situation with the S&P 500 So if we starting off you take the old trend line from the lows of February 2016 to the lows of November 2016 we get this trend line here Which as you can see was respected as well on number of occasions in October and also in November October November, but as you can see the market at a firm break below it in December I mean but since late December has managed to stage a fairly decent comeback and similar situation with the Dow Jones The market's moving higher so we and we can see an increase in positive momentum on the MACD indicator in the MACD Instagram if the market does move the push on higher we could be looking heading up towards 26,000 or perhaps the 50 moving average Sorry, I said 26,000 I meant to say 2,600 We could look we could look to 300 resistance at this blue line here 2,640 Which also nearly coincides with the previous trend line support So that that trend line may become resistance in the near term if the market does manage to turn over on itself again We could look at finding support in one of the 2,500 area 2,500 or 2,400 and then below move below that would bring in the most recent low of 2,319 into play So we've been talking a lot about markets that have been going down. Let's talk about a rocket that's been going up recently gold we can see here Gold has basically had a slow and steady recovery from from say mid-april through say October and then ever since kind of about early november the gold markets has really started to kind of take off My series of higher highs and higher lows It's shied away from the 1,300 marks on friday partially because of the strong job job support and particular The earnings component. So it's been recently There's been a fairly strong interest relationship to the gold market and the us dollar In light of mr. Powell's comments a couple of hours and nearly two hours after non-famperial support The us dollar itself and And which assisted the gold market if you do let the push on higher from here We could be looking at targeting 1,300 and if you go beyond that an extra to keep an eye for will be the the mid may high Of 1,326 if the market does turn over on itself, we may find some support in around the 1,275 region or 265 region here or perhaps even down as low as 1,250 Take a look at what's going on in the oil market start off the branch I'm intentionally starting off with Brent on the weekly can on the weekly chair So you can take a look take a look at this candle here. So The oil market had a very aggressive sell-off between October and mid-december or mid-late December. We can see here at this candle here Could be destroyed as a bullish engulfing So we could be looking at having a push higher in the near term bounce back from here I'll take a look now on the daily chart. You can see just to get a better view. It's basically effectively Essentially bounced off of support at the $50 mark. Maybe just below that 42 49 spot 92 If you do let the push on higher from here, we could be looking heading towards the 60 dollar mark and if you go beyond 60, we could be looking at it towards 63 spot 35 But we can't ignore the wider dowel trend after the wider dowel trend does continue We could be looking heading back down towards the 50 region or if you have an aggressive move below that We could be looking heading back down towards 44 spot 26 I'll take a look now at WTI and to be fair. It's a fairly similar situation in the markets Very well correlated similar move here. We've seen on WTI. We're by aggressive sell-off between early October and mid-december This candle here notice Notice how there's a very long wick on this candle here is an indication of indecision followed by A very positive and very very bullish candle here once you get a very good very bullish candle here Which would indicate we could see A correction a bounce back the market does manage to push and hire from here We could be looking heading up towards the 50 dollars region on WTI Take a look now on the weekly chart If we if we do manage to kind of push on hire from here, we could be looking at dragging 50 bucks Beyond that we could be looking at towards the late November highs of in around the 54 spot 14 But once again The wider aggressive dowel trend can't be ignored if the market does turn over itself You could be like heading heading back down towards 41 spots 41 spot 74 I'll take a look now a couple of currency pairs So as I mentioned, we have a bit of weakness in the u.s. Dollar on the back of mr. Powell's comments, so The euro dollar has been in a broadly speaking a dowel trend for a number of months But in the recent sessions, we have seen a bit of a move to the upside It isn't really going to be aggressively move to the upside a whole lot But it's nonetheless in the very near term We could see the market head up towards the kind of 115 115 10 region and a move beyond that by bringing the kind of 116 area into play If the markets the wider trend if the wider downward trend does continue We could be looking any back down towards 113 or perhaps even low As the recent lows a lot one spot 1216 I'll take a look now at pound versus the u.s. Dollar pound dollar is in a similar situation whereby probably speaking the trend has been very much of the downside particularly since I say Since early November But once again the softness in the u.s. Dollar has given the pound a bit of an assistant recently The pound is creeping higher Since early december if you look to take out one spot 2815 we could be looking any up towards the 130 region But if the wider downward trend kicks in or even if there's an uncertainty in relation to brexit kicks in As is it's likely that that the british parliament will vote on treason may deal next week If there's any negative news around that or the sign that we're heading towards a no deal of brexit be it on purpose or accidental I think we could see further weakness in the pound Let's go take us back down towards the recent well the recent lows of one spot 24 31 Taking a quick look at the what's going on We can expect this week on the week ahead the week ahead article can be found on a website cmcmarkets.com the news and analysis section Since scroll down here tomorrow between tuesday and friday of this week. We've been quite a few UK retailers updating updating us with our christmas statements or third or quarterly numbers Seventh and from marketing sponsors morrisons sainsbury's test goes a good view of the big big supermarkets The card company a o world and mother care. They don't produce numbers on wednesday We will have enough. We love the bed minutes from the meeting in december But keep in mind we did here. We have her recently from Jerome Powell Who's who's who's most recent comments have been a bit less hawkish than the mid and the statement that was released in mid december On wednesday We've been updated the bank of canada keep my bank canada often like to kind of stay a couple of paces behind the fed reserve Seeing as the fed hiked in december four hikes for the fed in 2018 We could see the bank of canada just a way of actually kind of keeping better kind of catch up We could see the fed you could see the bank canada hike on wednesday And then on wednesday We also have third quarter numbers from bed bath and beyond once you're gonna ties in with the kind of wider retail sector The us housing market has been slowing down. So we could see people We'd be willing to kind of spend less on kind of big ticket items And on friday we have us inflation figures, which should be a good measure of demand in the us in particular in light Of the very good Earnings figures you've seen from the us only last friday and as I said when us workers earn more they tend to spend more If you have any comments to make on this video or any of the other videos we've made here at cmc markets Please feel free to leave review on google reviews. And that's all for me this week. Thank you very much


Hello everybody. Today we're talking about setbacks and what to do about your deadlift. So I had a guy even recently who had, you know, he did some warm-up sets, he felt fine, and then he did four reps of deadlift with a submaximal pretty moderately easy weight, and then he had a back injury. So what are you gonna do? How do you deal with that setback? Not you as a trainer, but you as a lifter. That's who I'm talking to today. So what I want to illustrate to everyone is the major principle we need is perseverance. These setbacks should be expected, right? We know that not every time that we lift everything is going to be perfect, and in fact there is no perfect. If you are exposed to different scenarios, you become stronger. You become, as Nasim Taleb says, anti-fragile, right? You can grow even further if you can't predict everything that's going to happen with a deadlift. Now what I mean by perseverance is it's not the the concept of just doubling down. So I have back pain and I need to lift harder. That is not going to be your answer, but what you do need to understand is that long-term training can be supportive of this. You don't have to deadlift every day. You don't even have to deadlift heavy ever, you know? But at some point in your life you're probably gonna need to pick something up and it's a good pattern to learn, right? And so if I find out that if I do deadlifts I'm more likely to hurt my back and if I reinstill that thought, if it becomes a vicious cycle and I say my back is just not good at deadlifting, that puts breaks on you, right? That limits your potential and I think a lot of people do really, really well with them as long as they do them correctly, as long as they're feeling their hamstrings, as long as they finish with their glute muscles. And so if you're finding that you can't do those things and deadlifting only tires out your back then maybe it's time to take the weight back down. Maybe we move to a kettlebell variation. Maybe we add some sort of band that pulls you some sort of way that helps reinstill some of the correct or some of the more desirable, I guess is a better way to put it, patterns and muscular activation that you're looking for, okay? So for my client right now we're gonna avoid deadlifts because that is a scary thing for him right now and we need to gradually reintroduce this exercise over a longer period of time and that's okay. We can take our time. We have nothing but time, right? And we're gonna find other ways to work out, right? We're gonna do single leg stuff. We're not gonna load the back so much. We're gonna try to take that steep curve out of his low back and we're gonna see if these things support you in your deadlift, support him and his deadlift and then create this body and this resilient mind that can deal with all these things. But we're gonna have to do it one little step at a time and he's gonna have to persevere.


So welcome to today's very special edition of Frightfully Forgotten, because we are celebrating our 100th episode. Yeah, it's crazy. And that's not including outtakes and tales from the VHS vault. We're going to redo Demonic Toys from 1992, which was episode number one, will also be episode 100. Well, it was the first one. It was green. It's very green. We didn't have any real prep. We didn't really know what we're doing. We just sat down and hit record and started talking. Now we have a structure. We kind of follow every episode. So we're going to redo Demonic Toys. Demonic Toys is directed by Peter Manugen, and he is done like basically just tacky movies just like this.  Tracy Scoggins stars in this. She's the main female lead. She's been in tons of TV, but one thing that we wanted to mention is she was a Cardassian character in DS9. If Star Trek related, we'll mention it. Damn straight. Michael Russo is in this, and he was in Toxic Avenger. He's also a stuntman in a lot. Almost every famous big blockbuster movie. You've got to mention Peter Shrum is in this. Can't let you take the man's wheel, son. Those sausage fingers.  Mr. Zimmerman.  Demonic Toys starts off with Judith and Matt undercover trying to bust some illegal gun sellers to find out that they're actually dating. Judith tells Matt that she's actually pregnant. That's great. The guys pull up and they start doing the gun deal. No serial numbers. Yeah, bang, bang, you know. You're under arrest. Gunfire starts and Matt gets hit. Oh, Hesse also gets hit. He crawls into this toy warehouse. Lincoln, you gotta help me. Sorry, guy.  He happens to crawl upon this pentagram which is on the ground and starts bleeding on it. Toys start coming to life. He's all, uh, uh, uh, bites off his fingers and spits him out. Charnetsky, he's the security guard. He's sitting there watching puppet master and listening to polka music. But you know he's hungry. He calls up his favorite chicken place, Chunky Chicken. Get off the phone, Hammerhead. Give him a mark.   You make sure you come right on back here, mister. Well, maybe I won't come back.  How'd you like that? Have you seen Miss July? Yeah. BAM!  Sons of bitches! Mark and Charnetsky are sitting there and they start hearing some gunfire. Should we go check it out? And the one thing, it was a bump.   And find that Judith has actually captured Lincoln and handcuffed him. Do you know how to handle that thing? Lady, I was in Korea. I can handle myself.  Mr. Charnetsky goes to go and call the authorities to let them know that they have this felon. He's all waiting with some baseball bat. BAM! The toys surround him and baby Oopsy-Daisy stabs him in the nuts, chewing away at his face.  This girl Ann pops out of the duct work. It's the toys. Yeah, it's the toys. Something's got into the toys. She ran away from home and she got into the warehouse, into the duct work somehow. Through the duct work, they can get back to Charnetsky's office where there's a phone ammo, possibly a way out. Judith is left behind. She gets transported into the dollhouse kind of thing. We learned that 66 years ago, this woman gives birth to this devil baby, but the child dies.  It's also Halloween time and so some kids knock on the door and they hand the kids this baby wrapped up in the blankets and everything and they open the thing up, ugh and they all throw it, she lands in some kind of shallow grave and so this is what's haunting this site. This devil spirit wants to do is take over or possess Judith's unborn baby and then be born into the real world. While she's in this dollhouse, Lincoln is getting free. Baby, oopsie daisy, kind of jump down and jump on to Ann and start stabbing her in the eye. Grabs the gun and just blows it away.  Lincoln. He's like wait man, we gotta stick together. He's like I'm just doing what the forces inside my head tell me to do.  Boom, right in the forehead. Just as things are getting interesting. That's a little chatterbox, one with all the golden locks.  Just shoot some right in the shoulder.  The toys start coming around and surrounding them and that's where we're gonna end it. So if you want to see what happens to Judith and Mark and Judith's unborn child, keep watching. Why are we talking about this and why are we redoing it? Not only is it fun, it really goes back to our childhood too. This is one of the movies we'd rent all the time, like almost on a weekly basis. We've watched so many times where it's embedded in the brain, right? We thought it would be a great first episode because it's so ingrained in us and it's also a forgotten movie that nobody ever talks about. There's a lot more attention because it's actually a really good movie. It's just hilarious.  We made a movie in grade 8 for a project in school which was a horror movie and we basically lifted a bunch of characters from demonic toys and put them in a different situation which is more of a house party slasher situation. And basically ripped off the movie for the lines and the characters. But that's like how deep it gets ingrained into us because it's just so fun and memorable. The characters in this movie are what make it I think. They're also vivid. Every single one of them. And not one of them is a throwaway character. They all have their part to play. Yeah, the acting actually for this movie is really good.  Kind of like wax work.  This is actually a straight to video movie with a fairly decent budget it seems.  There's stop motion in this which is great like it doesn't look shitty or choppy. It's fluid. It's simple too like all you need is some puppeteers. It's way better. It's real and it's believable. The toys are characters too. You have a lot of memorable toy characters like baby oopsie daisy, the jack in the box. The bear. The bear. Yeah like they're all characters themselves and they're such characters that they transcend to the sequels. Demonic toys too. There's doll man. Versus demonic toys. Versus demonic toys. There's puppet master versus demonic toys. There's this endless. So if you want a really fun schlocky movie with tons of memorable characters and a very quotable movie. Oh yeah. Please check out demonic toys if you haven't seen it. You can stream it right now for free on 2B if you like. Two versions.  So help us celebrate our hundredth episode and keep drinking.


We're here at Geneva's International Conference Centre to find out more about a new initiative launched during the World Radio Communication Conference, a huge international treaty-making event that allocates the radio frequency spectrum on which all the world's wireless devices depend. The new initiative is called We Lead and it's all about helping young women taking part in the conference as members of national delegations gain the experience and confidence they need to advance their careers and become future leaders. There are almost 4,000 delegates from over 150 countries at the event, but only around 15% of them are women. That's why the U.S. delegation decided to launch a mentoring program for younger women to benefit from the experience of their older sisters. The We Lead program is open to all women at the conference, as well as ITU staff. It matches experienced women who are used to complex international treaty negotiations with young professionals who benefit from guidance from their We Lead mentor, as well as the support of the 50 strong We Lead community. We Lead is an initiative to bring together women delegates that are here at the WRC to help them begin to have a network, share experiences and learn from each other. And so it's basically a program so that women can come in and into a pipeline so that they can become leaders and they can be trained into becoming chairs of drafting groups and then committees and subcommittees and all that kind of thing, because we see very few women in those positions. I think we have one woman who is a chair here at this, as a committee chair. But there are others that would certainly be qualified, but it's very hard to get them into the pipeline. So that's what it's for. So what are you hoping to achieve through this program? We are trying to get to know the senior and experienced women and we want to know what they do to get to their position. So I'm trying to get knowledge from them and also confidence on starting to participate more on these meetings. What does it mean to you to be part of this program? The Wheelie program, to me, is a sense of community. When you walk down the halls and you see the women, you're often greeted with a smile and you know that you can approach them if you have any questions or comments that you don't understand something or you want to know, is it always done this way? I think this program is critical because at this point women are still very much a minority in the ITU process. Just looking around this conference there's only about 15 percent women here and really being able to learn from other women on how to be successful in this environment, whether it's as a spokesperson, an active member of a delegation, or taking more of a leadership role. And I think the experience that I've gained here over the years really helps me provide that input to younger women so that they can excel. What one key piece of advice would you give to new participants today? Learn, listen, have your voice heard because you are great professionals and you can contribute to this wonderful technology, ICTs that are the oil that makes the motor of economic and social development work. We have too much to do and we can contribute to that. From the start when I came to these meetings I would sometimes be the only woman and now we're seeing more and more women but still we are very few at higher levels. You're the first and only woman chair of WRC back in 2003. What key piece of advice would you give to women in sector today? I think the first thing women have to do is get an education in science and technology. Once they have the right education and background they can find a career in telecommunications. This is a very lucrative, interesting career and getting engaged at the international level so that we can increase the representation of women in WRC. The We Lead program is a great initiative. We would like to see it be continued. We're looking towards the ITU council as well as the WTSA next year. The We Lead Maintaining Initiative at WRC 15 is a great way of bolstering the involvement of women in the important work of ITU.
