Good morning everybody or I guess good afternoon. I'm in Washington DC right now so I'm not sure what time it is to be honest with today we're going to talk about tomato disease management. I'll probably focus more on disease that you might see in the home garden but we also see them in commercial fields. I've been in Auburn for 30 years. I'm an extension plant pathologist so I work with plant diseases, work with vegetables, tree fruits, small fruit, soybeans and corn and a few other crops so well versed. First I wanted to show you a slide of healthy looking tomatoes. This is what you're supposed to be growing. These are the last slide you'll see of healthy tomatoes during my talk. I'm always spending a lot of time looking at tomatoes that just don't look all that right. One more common diseases we see in the home garden is fusarium wilt. It's a soil-borne fungal disease, very common. It stays in the soil for long periods of time. We see it more in home gardens than we do in commercial fields because you have a lot of heirloom varieties being planted that don't have resistance to this pathogen. Oftentimes you'll see a yellowing on a few plants in the garden. It might be unilateral so maybe just half the plant is yellowing up but eventually after a week or two those plants will slowly wilt and die. If you were to cut open the stem at the soil line you'll see a brown discoloration in the vascular system. Basically the water conducting vessels just underneath the bark if you will but right at the soil line and heading into the crown. The soil-borne pathogen fusarium will invade the roots. It survives in the soil for many years. It has some resting spores. Once it gets inside to get water conducting vessels it'll block them up both the spores and mycelium which eventually causes the plant to wilt and die but it can't take a week or two for this to occur. You can see some examples of there in Foley and also more locally in Auburn. And the easiest way to identify it is you won't see any outer symptoms do say is the yellowing but sliced at stem open horizontally just above the soil line about six inches down into the crown and you'll see that brown discoloration stand out and that typically means of fusarium wilt. Sometimes we have a disease called verticillium wilt which I call its fusarium's Yankee cousin but I don't see that as often in Alabama as fusarium. Here's a variety trial and hopefully you could tell which variety was not resistant to fusarium but the best control is to use a fusarium wilt resistant cultivar. There are many of these on the market also plant and well-drained soils. You can use a crop rotation system to avoid infested areas but that's always a wise thing to do for many of your soil-borne diseases. You'd also use grafted plants say heirloom varieties on resistant rootstock which is becoming more popular and something like Andre DeSilver or our old Joe Kimble would be a good one to ask about that but the resistant varieties would be the best way to go most cost-effective for sure. Another will disease that we see is caused by a different type of biotic pathogen of bacterium and that's bacterial wilt and that's a soil-borne bacterial disease that invades the plants also through the roots also survives long periods of time in the soil. Usually we should see it though in very saturated soils very wet years we'll see this. It also plugs up the water vessels and you'll get a rapid wilting of the plan typically what this will go without the yellowing that we see with fusarium that oftentimes helps in field diagnosis. If you look inside the plant stem you'll see a discoloration much like I showed you with fusarium in the vascular system but oftentimes this will move into the center pit as you can see in the upper left hand corner. What we'll do in the lab Dr. Cassie Conner our diagnostician will do an ooze test bacterial ooze test one of my favorite things I've learned in plant pathology over many years but we'll take that wilt that discolored stem sticking in a glass of water give it about 30 seconds to a minute and if it's bacterial wilt you'll see this white milky strands of ooze streaming out of the brown area on that stem and that's a positive test for bacterial wilt and we probably do that about a dozen times in the lab at Auburn and every time we do it we were fascinated by it but that's a home testing for bacterial wilt. So the best control if you have a problem many times you see this in low lying areas and saturated soils you could plant susceptible crops in a I would only plant susceptible crops in infested areas maybe once every four years an area that has a history of it. Commercial growers can try soil fumigation home gardeners soil solidization to help eliminate the pathogen to some point. We do have new resistant varieties coming online such as BHN 6669 and Tropic Boy. These are just recent additions to our arsenal and you also could try grafted plants on resistant rootstock that's a basically a new technique over the last five years or so. Let's move into the foliar diseases which are I'll say more common but more easily recognized but the first one this is the first one I saw when I came to Alabama was early blight I was by the fungus and was alternatoria and often nice people will talk about their tomatoes firing up from the bottom I wasn't sure what they were talking about when I first got them. Got here but I realized it was early blight and it's a fungal disease that starts in the older leaves mature leaves at the base of the plant then moves up the plant firing it up causing those leaves to die that's not natural that's not a natural thing to do that's a pathogen and what we'll see is these target like lesions off to the right oftentimes surrounded by a yellow halo oftentimes you'll see it on tomato plants that are suffering from nitrogen deficiency as well so plants under stress. It's caused by a fungal pathogen that overwinners and plant debris in the soil so if you leave your tomato plants in the garden or in the field during the winter and if you had alternatoria last year or early blight last year you're going to have it again this year. You can also enter fields on air currents from a neighbor's yard or from down the road it begins on older leaves as a regular spots that then enlarge up to about a half inch in diameter they have that target like pattern concentric ring pattern and typically you will see a yellow halo surrounding these lesions and it's favored by warm weather and wet conditions so I think ideal temperatures are between 75 and 85 degrees free moisture either from rain or from old red irrigation will also push it along. You can go to the fruit and I typically I work with commercial growers and they're picking their fruit at the breaker stage when those tomatoes are just turning pink so you don't normally see the fruit rod stage but in home gardens more likely you're seeing this type of reaction where you have these concentric rings on the fruit themselves in the field you can get the foliation severe defoliation I'll show you a slide in a second which can't because you're eliminating the leaves in the photosynthetic area it'll reduce fruit size and fruit quality you can see sun scald in that fruit in the bottom right because the foliage is gone can't protect the fruit from the sun's rays and I've seen up to 50% yield reduction in commercial fields in the absence of a fungicide when the disease was at its full strength. We used to do a lot of fungicide trials up in the Coleman area back in the 90s on the left you can see somebody using bravo which is like diethane chlorophyll and no protective fungicide often times commercial growers will put on a protective fungicide once a week beginning three to seven days after transplanting and continuing up through harvest if they don't they'll run into what you see on the far right which is where there's no fungicide you can see early blights taken out about 85% of that foliage you'll get 45 50% yield reduction they're still putting on some fruit but they're not going to look all that good and you're not going to pick as many as you would like so under the right conditions what weather where this this and you notice this disease through scouting that is beginning to develop you need to get out of program to try and prevent its rapid development so as far as disease control look at your transplants I'll talk more about this with a couple other diseases but make sure you don't see any lesions that might indicate early blight or some of these other foliar diseases I'll talk about there are a few early blight resistant or tolerant varieties that are available some of these still might need to be treated with the fungicide and in severe cases or favorable weather conditions follow a follow a balanced fertility program avoid excessive overhead irrigation I would scout for a disease weekly if you're home guard or you're probably out there every day so take a peek down at the lower leaves and see what you're seeing if you see signs of early blight you might think about a fungicide spray program and again these might be about a seven day program seven to ten days program depending on the weather conditions hot and dry you could extend that program outwards warm and wet you might have to tighten it up to that seven day window and then remove disease tomato residue after harvest if you do have the disease problem you could bury it or just just put it in the garbage another disease that we sometimes see as target spot on tomato I do a lot of work with this disease on soybeans because it does have a very large host range but it also produces target like lesions that maybe not as dramatic as I see with early blight but similar pattern where it starts low in the plant and moves up it'll cause these brown to black lesions with a subtle concentric green pattern can be confused at early blight and it's possible that you get both diseases on the same plant so it can get quite confusing out in the field favored by high humidity and free moisture temperatures between 70 and 94 degrees will favor target spots a little little bit higher than we see with early blight very broad host range we have specialists working on with cotton I work with the same disease on soybeans but it does love tomatoes as well I think that's the same picture on the left but you can see those faint target like lesions on the left can also go to the fruit and be a problem so the longer you have those fruit in the field the more likely these diseases will go to the fruit obviously longer they're exposed with target spot you could rotate fields to avoid carryover residue from one year to the next you can just try to eliminate that residue just by burying it maybe maybe a hot compost pile would help eliminate volunteers and weeds especially those that are in the solar nations family the potato family like such as potatoes and peppers they can act as a reservoir source for this pathogen start with clean healthy transplants that you purchase at a center that you have had luck with in the past proper soil fertility avoid excessive over irrigation and then apply fungicides preventively when conditions favor disease development a lot of these foliar diseases if you wait for the disease to move halfway through the canopy before you spray you're just throwing away your money so you want to spray early when you first see it or when weather conditions favor it to try and get ahead of these problems bacterial spots is a significant problem I probably see more of this than just about anything and statewide and what you'll get is these little chocolate brown lesions on the leaves and sometimes you see it's just a slight yellow around it this is bacterial spot and it's often introduced on transplants you can't overwinter on residue but I think it's more coming in on transplants it attacks the leaves and the fruit favored by warm wet conditions as well you see a pattern there the leaf spots are a regular quite ragged and I'll show a picture of that as well and you also get fruit spots that can be raised scabby so it's not a pretty disease once the disease gets going on the left there are classic symptoms where you see somewhat of an angler type lesions to the bacterial spot lesions because the bacteria once it gets inside the leaf tissue it has a harder time crossing some of these major veins you can see these sharp angles to it with sometimes I use in the field to to help a little quick field diagnosis starts in the lower leaves moves up in the laboratory we also do an ooze test we can take that leaf on the left just cut a cut a slice open with a razor blade and stick it underneath the microscope and then those bacterias those thousands of cells will be oozing out of that brown tissue which is a just a quick and dirty method in the lab to confirm that you have bacterial spot same disease on peppers and bell peppers unfortunately with peppers we have resistant varieties available with tomatoes we do not at this point that I'm aware of oftentimes you'll see the lesions form more at the tip of the leaf as moisture moves the bacterial spores to the tips and they enter into the hydrothodes or some of the stomates but it's usually a bottom to top type progression on a plant and it also goes to the fruits you get these these scabby lesions on tomatoes somewhat sunken and as they progress they get pretty nasty looking crater like peppers oftentimes you'll see a bump on the fruit like a scabby like a little mini volcano but obviously that's not going to be very uh sellable on the marketplace or you're going to and I want to give those to your neighbors so bacterial spot best thing to do is avoid transplants and if you're buying your transplants from a nursery or a store just look for them closely this is one I bought in Montgomery about 20 years ago and it had you just see a couple brow lesions on that picture on the right and a couple leaves and that was I bought that plant that's how I spend my weekends at the garden centers looking for disease but that that I did a news test and it had bacterial spot and that whole tray at the store was infected with the disease so always examine your transplants before accepting delivery or buying them at the local market best way to control I think this disease other management tools disease-free transplants I mentioned avoid excessive overhead irrigation avoid working the gardener or a field when it's wet it's an easy way to move the bacterium and also knock off the microscopic leaf hairs it'll supply an opening for the bacterium to enter we often recommend copper mancosa which is a fungicide take-mix combinations as the two products together seem to help have a synergistic reaction to help reduce spot management but now we're starting to see copper resistant bacterial spot populations in the southeast they're pretty very common I'm doing some work with one of our bacteriologists and we're trying to figure out how much of our populations are resistant to copper and also if the pathogen maybe overwintering and weeds around the fields and if that's more common of an introduction than just transplants but possibly both but bacterial spots now tomato spotted will it's been around since about 1987 it's uh it's when we first identified an Alabama and this one is a virus disease so a different type of pathogen it's spread by thrips insects similar to aphids in a way what you'll see in the garden or in the field will be this severe stunting of the plants somewhat abnormal growth but the stunting usually gives it away most of your plants might look healthy and then you have one or two plants that look kind of ugly you'll get a terminal leaves will be distorted may turn a pale green the leaves you'll see a purple or browning to them I'll show you a slide of that as well you also can get ring spots on their fruit which kind of look kind of cool to a pathologist but not so much to a home gardener so you see bronzing on the foliage in the upper left some of that the little spot you see sometimes early in the season I have to kind of recalibrate myself each year because I think it looks like a bacterial spot but you'll see this more in the upper canopy than in the lower leaves but something not time to bronzing can be quite dramatic as you see in that one leaf and it can move down the petioles spread by western flower thrips which are you often in the blossoms they they they just inject the the virus during their feeding if you let the fruit ripen up and even if you don't you can't see these ring spots on their fruit which would be a sign of or a symptom of tomato spotted wilt virus this is a disease it also goes to peanuts so if you have peanut growers in here you're in the wire grass area there's a good chance that disease couldn't can't be moving back and forth between those crops people ask me if you can eat those fruit I would welcome to eat them if you like but they might not taste all that good because they're not ripping it up properly but you're not going to come down with ring spots on your face or hands but it is an interesting looking disease and fortunately over the last 10 years we've had a lot of spotted wilt resistant varieties come on to the marketplace some of these like Amelia are available bellow rose I see often some of the BHN varieties 602 and 640 you can't find at your local stores some of these others that are listed maybe off the market I think mountain glory just have come out recently so look for resistant varieties look for the tags do some research on it there are a couple roma types that have resistance as well if you're into that type of tomato I also mentioned reflective mulches may reduce thrift feeding and effective weed control in and around the field may help reduce overwintering inoculum but that's a little bit far to go of just if you have this disease every year go with a resistant variety and that's much better to trying to spray and insecticide or using some of these cultural practices let's buy the wilt on the left on tomatoes fancy ring spots in the center this is how we with test for the lab on the right is dr. Joe Kimball one of our our old regional extension agents we were evaluating looking for bacterial spot different diseases in some of these transplant houses and oftentimes the disease these diseases can come in and oftentimes lc spotted wilt coming in on peppers later in the season so always be aware of the diseases when you're picking up transplants nice way to avoid them this is a disease southern blight that I think I probably see a more commercial field than I do in backyard garden which is a good thing for home gardeners major problem on a lot of crops it's called southern blight another soil borne fungal disease that causes that white fungal growth on the stem or any basically any part plant part that touching the soil soil borne tax over 1200 crops and weeds vegetable wise tomatoes peppers eggplant snap beans are all susceptible to it as well as all your curbits I often see this on watermelon and cantaloupe or pumpkin fruit that are touching the soil where this pathogen is present so any organic matter that touches moist and fasted soil this pathogen can take off and attack that that plant part what you'll see is typically this white fungal growth at the base of the plant near the stem line and what I'll see in commercial fields is that the disease will move down a row so it doesn't usually well it doesn't usually take out a whole field it might take out a whole small garden but you'll see the disease moving from one plant to the next maybe through irrigation water this is on raised beds in a commercial field up on sand mountain but you'll see it move from plant to plant so sometimes you could when you first see a plant wilting and the plants are used this usually starts to show up this is the plants are starting to put on fruit you could remove that plant with the soil around its base and possibly slow the disease down but if not it'll just continue to move from plant to plant the cross row spread is not as common so you get a rapid wilting of the plants and then you get a crown rod you get a black canker or discoloration at the stem line looks like it's been girdled then the white mole under moist conditions will cover up that point at the at the soil line eventually you'll get these small round sclerotia which form into mycelium and those sclerotia are just little seed-like structures that is dormant mycelium of the fungus and these could be white to orange tan to reddish brown to dark brown and that's dormant mycelium and it could survive in yourself for six seven eight years in the absence of a host so once you get this disease you're you're kind of in a you're in a spot it's not a good spot to be in so I mentioned anything touching the ground so if you have a foliar disease like early blight or anything that knocks the leaves off once those leaves hit the ground it could stimulate the fungus in the soil to become active you can see it on the peppers on the left that we had a problem with bacterial spot in that field and southern blight started attacking the fruit they were touching the ground cantaloupe on the right are just melting away due to southern blight on the right on infested moist soil so getting those plants up maybe putting down in good mulch or plastic would help reduce the problem you'll want to avoid low pH situations what seems to help stimulate the disease rotate crops but it does have a very wide host range plant early before the summer heat sets in because it does sort of like the the heat of alabama so early plantings might do better than late in infested fields improve air circulation good spacing between plants might be of some benefit you can try to remove symptomatic plants quickly plus the soil around the base to try and reduce it heart mentalize it basically from from spreading down that row I don't like recommending deep tillage but you can do this in certain situations to try and bury those chlorosia deeper than six inches deep in the soil that fungus has a hard time moving back up to the soil surface so you may reduce the amount of noxious going into the following year if you're planting tomatoes or peppers continuously commercial growers can fumigate with a product like t-loan c-35 or pick chlor to help reduce the problem home gardeners you're more you might try soil solarization if you have a severe problem try this in the garden if you and we have a nice normal hot summer in alabama with a lot of solarizing days that might reduce the amount of southern blight you have in that area we're going to finish up with nematodes microscopic aroundworms most numerous animal in the face of the earth more numerous than insects just not as diverse but about 10 percent of nematodes are plant parasites that live in the soil and feed on the roots of plants and we have about 10 or 12 different damaging species in alabama they feed with a stylet which is you can see on the left that's sort of that's like a hyperdermic needle they have muscles attached to the basal bulb of that stylet that allow the nematode to puncture root cells and then they secrete enzymes that move into the cell liquefied basically and then they reverse the flow and suck that out and that's how they gain their nutrition and damage the plants and you can find hundreds of nematodes in the soil some good some bad some are feeder on bacteria some are feeding on fungi there is a whole different world underneath the soil for sure when you're when you're mostly concerned with with tomatoes is root not nematode it produces these large galls on the roots it's not because you have a nematode the size of your thumb and nerve size of a necklace because you have multiple nematodes attacking that that root they're secreting enzymes in that case that increase the size of the cells around their head of the plant increase the size of the cells of the plant at the host and that's where they get as they set up their feeding side you might have multiple you have multiple nematodes saying this infected infected plant so here's you can see an adult female in the upper left hand corner they start off verma form or worm like snake like but rooting out it will swell up into this bulbous form this is adult female that large blob on top that looks like a dark cloud that's about 10 percent of their 258 she produces in one generation that are hatched immediately little juvenile nematodes swim off and attack other parts of the root or other plants those are just stained red so you can see them but right around her head region which is that pointy area on the bottom left is where she'll secret enzymes and then the cells around that head area increase in size and number and that gives you those large gall roots in the bottom left and you have a root system like that it's not functioning properly you're not going to take up moisture and nutrients so you see plants wilting when they really shouldn't be and you might see signs like nitrogen efficiency where the lower leaves are yellowing like you see on the slide on the right so plant social nitrogen efficiency I'm sorry yellowing nutrient problems and occasionally you'll see a plant die outright um but you'll see that stunting and you might not see this right away it's not a it's a disease you call it the hidden enemy because you don't see the nematodes but you do see the symptoms with what you can think well that's probably a nitrogen efficiency or drought so every so often dig up a few plants if you see this and just look for these galls which are pretty easy to detect and nothing else is going to cause that on your tomatoes as far as management first thing you want to do if you're moving into a new home or a new field or a new garden area take a semit soil sample and have it inspected for nematodes you probably want to do this in the best to do it in the fall because that's one of the populations they're a highest nematode populations drop dramatically over the winter time especially a cold winter so you want to sample in the fall that's best and get about a pint of soil from your garden area from different spots so you see what the population looks like if you do have nematodes you might want to choose a different area to go to the plant if you had a history of nematodes or if you do have and you definitely want to go with a root not resistant variety typically these have n on the label with the stands for for on root not nematode resistance can reduce plant stress to the use of organic matters good compost sometimes by doing this you're adding antagonists both fungi bacteria other nematodes that might attack that that that pathogen sanitation at the end of the year if you have root not nematodes you can dig those plants up i just leave the root system on the soil surface and let the sun be down on it that will burn up the population to some extent you can't rotate root now though has a very as i think it goes over 3000 different holes so it's rotation is a kind of a tough order there suppressive crops we do have a handout nematodes suppressive crops and things like sesame seed crotal area partridge p certain marigold varieties that you can plant in a nematode infested area and they give off chemicals that will kill these nematodes or inhibit their reproduction and that's that's an option when you're you have limited land space or limited garden space but there is a handout on the aces website and then solarization is also a nice method to try and reduce populations but even with that if everything works out perfectly those nematodes are eventually going to move back into that area soil is moved around but it is a way to knock populations down when you're when you have limited area to grow i put this up i think i use this lasher this is a friend of mine dr rebecca melanson from mississippi state she has a very nice publication common diseases of tomatoes i would recommend googling that publication on the mississippi state website common diseases of tomatoes we're revising ours and uh but rebecca has done a nice job with that and it gives you some very helpful information also talks about some of the fungicide that you might be spending time with okay and with that i'll stop again i'm edsacor extension plant pathologist you could send me an email if you like here's my cell phone number and if you really want to learn things follow me on twitter at alabama and i i post something just about every day and my concern soy beans one day tomatoes the next trees and so on but i i try and be informative when i'm doing this and uh if you follow me i think you'll learn a lot


Hi, I'm Carrie McLung and I want to say thank you to Dr. Hirsch and the entire iSchool Scholarship Committee. I was surprised, but also very excited to find out that I'm one of the spring 2020 special session new student scholarship recipients. I will be doing the MLIS program. I'm going to be studying the web design and information architecture pathway. I'm hoping to apply what I'm learning to my current job. I am a content developer. I'm also interested in the intersection of information and libraries and empowering people through technology and the role that libraries play in that. So I very much appreciate the opportunity. I'm really looking forward to classes starting in a few weeks. Thank you again. It's going to be a huge help to me and my family as I'm pursuing this next step in my career. Thank you. I very much appreciate it.


That's right folks, C for comedy, A for Abbott, M for Maxwell, E for Ennis, L for Luke Costello. Put them all together and they spell chemo. Experience is the best teacher. Try a chemo.  And draw up a chair for tonight's chemo show starring Bud Abbott and Luke Costello. Will you come over here please? Will you listen to me? What are you writing on that pad? Hey Abbott. What are you writing on that pad? I'm just making out a list of girls I'm gonna kiss next week. Here's who I got picked out. Lizzy Schwartz, Maggie Mugglemire, Tessie Tinfoil, Lana Turner. Now wait a minute. Lana Turner wouldn't kiss you. Oh no. Oh no. Then I'll scratch her off my list. I love you. You dummy, always thinking of girls. Girls, girls, girls. Now great men don't waste their time on girls. Where do you suppose Benjamin Franklin would have been if he'd have thought of girls all of the time? In the front row at Earl Carroll's? No, no. Costello, I've been telling you for the past three weeks.  Look at you. Look how sloppy you are. Look at your socks. I can't help my socks Abbott. It's those new Hickok plastic gutters. What's the matter with them? Your stock socks stay up but your legs fall down. Yeah. Tell them I'm looking for Luke Costello. Here boy. I don't know why Fatso. I'm looking for Luke Costello. Boy, he is Luke Costello. The famous Luke Costello. The one and only Luke Costello. That's me. I listen to you on the radio every Thursday night. You break me up and you say, how do you do? Wait. Me? That's the mad Russian. You're saying? Who's going to take this telegram? I'll take it. It's collect. Fourteen dollars. He'll take it. Don't give it to me. Here boy. Hey, Costello. This telegram is from Joe DiMaggio. Listen to this. Dear Lou, as you know, I am recovering from a foot operation. I would appreciate you taking my place. I appreciate you taking my place on New York Yankees until I recover. Please report to the Yankee Stadium immediately. Sign Joe DiMaggio. Abbott. Hey, that's the news. That's the news I've been waiting for.  Yes. DiMaggio probably heard about my playing with the Cuckamonga Wildcats last year. You a ball player? I don't believe it, Costello. You know nothing about balls. Oh no, I eat baseball. I live baseball. All night when I'm asleep, I dream about baseball. Don't you ever dream about girls? What? Then miss my turn up at that? Oh, what's the matter with you? Yes. And another thing, Abbott. What page are you on? Never mind what page I'm on. And another thing, Abbott. Not only that, in Paterson, New Jersey, I worked out with a baseball team. I used to stay out until four o'clock in the morning. Why did you stay out until four o'clock in the morning? This was a girl's baseball team.  I know all about baseball. All right. Suppose there's a left-handed pitcher pitching. What do you do? I put in a right-handed batter. Now, suppose there's a right-handed pitcher pitching. I put in a left-handed batter. But now I trick you. I take out the right-handed pitcher and put in a left-handed pitcher. Then I double-cross you. I take out my left-handed batter and put in a right-handed batter. Wait a minute. Where are you getting all those right-handed batters? The same place where you're getting all those left-handed pitchers. Hello, Louis, honey. It's Merrill and Maxwell. I've got great news.  I'm taking you along as a pitcher. Oh, now, Costella, Merrill and Maxwell can't pitch. Oh, no. You should see all the guys she struck out that were trying to get the first base. Ah, no. This kid has got some nice curves. Oh, Louis, you're so sweet. But I do hope you'll be careful. You know, big league baseball is a very dangerous game. Oh, what's dangerous about baseball, Merrill? Well, I read in the paper this morning that in the opening game in Boston, five players died on base. Merrill, you don't seem to know much about baseball. Let me show you how to play indoor baseball. First, I put my left arm around your waist. Then I snuggle my head on your shoulder like this. Then I press my cheek against your cheek. Oh, wait a minute, Costella. That's not the way to play indoor baseball. How do you like that? Every season, new rules. Well, good-bye and good luck, Louis. I just know you'll become famous with those New York Yankees. Merrill is right, Costella. This is your chance to become famous. Now, you've got a good job as a baseball player. Then you might find your proper niche in life. Yes, I might. I mean, after all, if I find my... What will I find? A niche, a niche. You'll find your niche. Abbot, when I find a niche, I scratch it. Now, what in the world are you talking about? A niche. I once had the seven-year niche. What happened? I scratched real fast and got rid of it in three and a half years. But I'm not talking about that kind of a niche. I mean a niche in life. A niche in life is what everyone is looking for. Anyone who is successful has found a niche. Paul, if that's the case, I know an error, Dale. It is doing very well. Listen to me, Costella. When I say a niche, I don't mean a niche like you have when you have an itch. I mean a niche like you have when you have a notch. Oh. You don't mean a itch like a niche when you have a niche. You mean a niche like you have when you have a notch. Now, you've got it. Now, I've got it. I don't even know what I'm talking about. Costella, why do you mash everything up like that? You're the most mixed up man I ever saw. Well, maybe it's because I fell on my mother's mixed master this morning. She had a set for mashed potatoes. I'm all mulled.  All I'm trying to tell you is that a niche is a notch. Catch. Natch. Natch. All right. Now, you know that a niche is a notch. You know that both of them are the same. Yes. Now, I could have a notch and you could have a niche. Yes. Niche to me and notch to you. I'm only trying to impress you with the importance of being a big, big, big ball player and having a good income.  No. I never drew a fat salary, but I once sketched a skinny tomato. No, no, no. Costella, when I say draw, I don't mean draw like you draw when you draw.  Have it. Let me smell your breath. Just as I thought. You've drawn one too many already. No, no, no. Can you listen to me, please? When I say you draw a salary, I mean you draw money. No, he's got me drawing money. Where do the FBI finds out about this? I'll probably draw 20 years in a clink and they don't feed you any salary in there, either.  Not like when you draw on an easel. That's what I always say. With money, it's easel come, easel go. Everybody draws money. When I draw money, I've been drawing money for years. My brother draws money. He's been drawing money for years. You draw and your brother draws? Certainly. Just as I thought.  Experience is the best teacher. It happened shortly after the end of the war. Two cigarettes glow in the dusk on the veranda of a country house as a man and woman are chatting. The woman remarks. Robert, you've changed your cigarette brand. This is a camel. I can tell without even looking. Yes, I have changed my brand. You know how we smoked whatever cigarettes we could get during the war? Don't I? Yes, I must have tried all the brands during that shortage. And that's when I found I liked camel's best. And weren't you right? Yes, experience is the best teacher. During the wartime shortage, people smoked whatever cigarettes they could get. It was this experience that taught millions the differences in cigarette quality. As smokers tried cigarette after cigarette on their T zones, that's T for taste and T for throat. It was camel's rich full flavor and cool mildness that stood out from all the others. The result? Today, more people smoked camels than ever before. Experience is the best teacher. Try a camel. And while you light up a camel, here's skinny anus with Linda. When I go to sleep, I never count sheep. I cattle the charms about Linda. Lately it seems, in all of my dreams, I walk with my arms about Linda. But what good does it do me? Fallen that doesn't know I exist. Can't help feeling gloomy. Think of all the lovin' I've missed. We pass on the street. My heart skips a beat. I say to myself, hello, Linda. If only she'd smile, I'd stop her a while. And then I would get to know Linda. But miracles still happen. And when my lucky star begins to shine, with one lucky break, I'll make Linda mine. I pass on the street. My heart skips a beat. I say to myself, hello, Linda. If only she'd smile, I'd stop her a while. And then I would get to know Linda. But miracles still happen. And when my lucky star begins to shine, with one lucky break, I'll make Linda mine. League ball player, you've got to get yourself in shape now. From 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., you lift weights. From 9 to 10, deep knee bends. 10 to 11, skip rope. 11 to 12, run five miles. 12 to 1, I'll never make it.  Staying up late and going to nightclubs, eating rich food, running around with beautiful girls. Do you know what can happen to you? Yes, I can become manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Custello. I don't even know why DiMaggio picked you. You don't even know how to swing a bat. I know all about swinging bats. When I was a kid, my father used to hit me with a baseball bat. My brother used to hit me with a baseball bat. My uncle Addy Stebbins used to hit me with a baseball bat. And my mother used to hit me with a tennis racket. With a tennis racket? Yes, she didn't like baseball. Hiya, fellas. Well, well, it's good to hear this. Hey, Custello, I heard about you taking Joe DiMaggio's place for the New York Yankees. That's right. You know, I used to pitch for the Hollywood stars. And boy, I'll never forget my last game. And we're five men on base. Oh, no, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Five men on base. Now, that's impossible. Did you ever see the Hollywood stars play? Ennis, I've seen the Hollywood stars, and I don't remember you. Oh, I've changed a lot since then.  I was the only man on the team that could slide in a second base and spike you from either end. Well, so long, fatso. So long, Skinny. So long.  All right. Custello, no waste time with him. Now, you've got to get ready for the opening game. Yes, I think we're going to play the Cleveland Indians. Cleveland Indians, hey? Uh-huh. Feller pitching? Sorry, there's a Feller pitching. Who do you think they'd use a girl? Oh, I know they don't use a girl. I said Feller pitching. What fella? Feller with the Cleveland Indians. Look, Abbott, there's nine guys on the Cleveland team. Now, which fella are you talking about? Feller of that pitches. There is only one Feller with Cleveland. You mean nine Yankees are going to play against one Feller? That's right. You mean there's no fellas in the outfield? No. And there's no fellas in the infield? No, Cleveland only has one Feller. Well, this fella must be pretty good if they don't need any other players but himself. Look, all the players will be out there helping him. You just said there was only one Feller on the team. That's right. Then where did all them other fellas come from?  When I say there's only one Feller on the team, I mean there is only one Feller that pitches. Well, Abbott, when the manager of the team wants this pitcher, what does he call him? Feller. You mean it just hollers, hey, Feller. And this guy knows that they mean him? That's right. His name is Feller, Feller, Bob Feller. And when I say there is only one Feller on the team that pitches, that's it. And the Feller that pitches is Feller. There's only the other Fellers on the team, but there's only one Feller. Boy, are you mixed up. Oh, you mean the Feller? The pitches is Feller. And there's other Fellers on the team, but they're not Fellers? Now you're Graspett. Yes, I'm Graspett, but it keeps slipping out of my hand. Let's go into this sporting goods store and get your baseball equipment. I want you to look right for the opening game. Now go ahead and ask that lady there where they keep the baseball uniforms. Pardon me, miss. Well, if it isn't Mr. Abbott. Hello. And Mr. Costello. Hello. Hello. You fart a little, mon. What are you doing in the sporting goods store, miss? Oh, I just stoked in to get a gift for my Norfew. I'm buying him a Bosball. Bosball? Abbott, you know what a Bosball is? That's what the poochers close to the coochers. And the booter tries to boot a home rune. My Norfew is just a little troll, but his ambition is to be a Brooklyn doger, carter. Well, if he's only a little guy, why don't he join the deep-trooped tuggers and be a short stoop? I must be going, as we say in Chinese. And a fish of going chap suey and a push for you too. As Johnny Weismiller said to Buster Crabb, what dive did you come out of? Well, my friend and I are here to get some baseball equipment. I'd like to see a baseball uniform that would fit Costello. So would I. Look, as Adam said to Eve, quit ribbing me. However, I'll do the best I can. We'll start with the spike shoes. What size do you wear? Oh, let me see. I've only got one pair left, and they're size five. Maybe you can squeeze into them, Costello. Go ahead and try, okay? Baseball shoes. My, you're certainly a pudgy little rascal, aren't you? Aren't you overweight? I'm about 120 pounds overweight, but I'm going back to my normal weight. Yes, but it's normal. 60 pounds overweight. Yes, Sally. You should really go on a diet. Yeah, of course you know what a diet is, don't you? Oh, sure. That's where you can eat all you want of everything you don't like. Young man, if you really want to reduce, why don't you exercise with a couple of dumbbells? Okay, I'm ready whenever you want to have it, all right. Cut that out. Oh, we've got to get your baseball equipment. Mr., do you have any bats? Oh, certainly. Here's a fine bat, autographed by Slaughter of the Cardinals. This bat was made for Slaughter. Ain't she got one that was made for baseball? When he says Slaughter, he means Slaughter the baseball player. Slaughter the baseball player? With that, bet you could slaughter anybody. Don't know, Costello. I'm talking about Slaughter. Everybody knows Slaughter. He knows Slaughter. Well, maybe he knows Slaughter, but I don't know.  Everybody knows Slaughter the baseball player. Slaughter is the man's last name. What's his first name? He knows. Now there's that clever guy. He knows his first name. Oh, well, that's to get about the bat. Look, Mr., do you have a baseball cap that will fit Costello's head? What size pencil sharpener does he wear? Oh, a baseball cap. Oh, yes, here's a dandy. This is the kind fellow wear. What fellow? The fellow with the Cleveland Indians. There's nine players with the Cleveland Indians. Which fellow are you talking about? Oh, young man, when I say fellow with the Cleveland Indians, I am only referring to one fellow, the fellow that pictures with the Cleveland Indians. When you say to fellow with the Cleveland Indians, you're only referring to one fellow, the fellow that pictures for the Cleveland Indians. Yeah, as Orville said to Wilbur, you're right. It means you're sporting good stories. Oh, forget about him, Costa. Hey, wait a minute, I've got an idea. Mrs. Wetwash's late husband used to be a big league ball player. Now, he was a home-run king in other words. Now, maybe she'll give you one of his bats for good luck. Let's go over to her house and ask her. Oh, okay. I'll go right over now, huh? You're right, Abbott. As John Adams said to Henry Wadsworth long, fella. How do you like that? I forgot what John Adams said to Henry Wadsworth long. Morning, Mrs. Wetwash. Oh, hello, Mr. Abbott. Oh, my. You know you ought to muzzle that St. Bernard dog. Oh, pardon me. It's Costello. And tell me, Costello, how are things in Gawker, Moron? Mrs. Wetwash, I wish you hadn't said that. I was just telling Abbott, your face reminds me of a rose. Oh, really? An American Beauty Rose? No. Our rhinoceros. Please set up, Costello. Mrs. Wetwash, Costello is leaving for New York to join Joe DiMaggio's play. Take Joe's place. Isn't that wonderful? He's going to play with the Yanks. Oh, I can't believe it. Yes.  Mrs. Wetwash, that was an insult. I'll have you know that beautiful women find me irresistible. I don't find you irresistible. And I don't find you beautiful. Why, Costello, ask her for those baseball bats or husband left her. OK, Mrs. Wetwash, I understand when your husband was alive, he had a lot of old bats. That's a lie. He never went out with anybody but me. No, no, no, no, Mrs. Wetwash. Costello means your husband's baseball bats. Yes, he thought you might give him one of them. Yes. That's right, Mrs. Wetwash. You see, I need a good bat. Oh, you need a good bat. I'll be glad to help you out. Can I have the bat right now? Right now. Bill Maxwell from Metro Golden Mayor, producers of The Sea of Grass. For camel fans everywhere in honor of New Orleans Jazz Week, Marilyn sings for the first time on the air, the title song of the picture, New Orleans. So you know what it means to miss New Orleans tonight? The moss covered voles, sugar pines. Four doctors smoke camels than any other cigarette. Three leading independent researcher organizations asked this question of 113,597 doctors. What cigarette do you smoke, doctor? The brand name most was camel. Now you probably enjoy rich, full flavor and cool mildness in a cigarette, just as much as doctors do. And that's why if you're not a camel smoker now, try a camel on your t-zone. That's tea for taste and tea for throat. Your true proving ground for any cigarette. Sea of camel's rich flavor of superbly blended choice tobaccos is an extra delightful to your taste. Sea of camel's cool mildness isn't in harmony with your throat. Sea if you too don't say camels, suit my t-zone to a T. Well, Castello, I'm going to New York with you. You know, Bucky Harris, the Yankees manager, gave me a job as coach for as long as you're on the team. Look, have it. If you're a coach, you must know all the players. I certainly do. Well, you know, I never met the guys, so you'll have to tell me their names, and then I'll know who's playing on the team. Oh, I'll tell you their names, but you know strange that may seem they give these ballplayers nowadays very peculiar names. You mean funny names? Strange names, pet names like Dizzy Dean and... It's brother Daffy. Daffy Dean. And their French cousin. French. Gouffé. Gouffé Dean, I see. Well, let's see what we have on the bags. We have who's on first, what's on second. I don't know who's on third. That's what I want to find out. I say who's on first, what's on second. I don't know who's on third. Are you the manager? Yes. You're going to be the coach too? Yes. And you know the fellow's name? Oh, I should. Well, then who's on first? Yes. I mean the fellow's name. Who? The guy on first. Who? The first baseman. Who? The guy playing first. Who is on first? I'm asking you who's on first. That's the man's name. That's who's name. Yes. Well, go ahead and tell me. That's it. That's who? Yes. Look, you got a first baseman. Certainly. Who's playing first? That's right. When you pay off the first baseman every month, who gets the money? Every dollar of it. All I'm trying to find out is the fellow's name on first base. Who? The guy that gets the money. That's it. Who gets the money? He does. Every dollar. Sometimes his wife comes down and collects it. Who's one? Yes. So what's wrong with that? Look, all I want to know is when you sign up the first baseman, how does he sign his name to the contract? The guy. Who? How does he sign his name to the contract? That's how he signs it. Who? Yes. All I'm trying to find out is what's the guy's name on first base? No, what is on second base? I'm not asking you who's on second base. Who's on third? One baseman at a time. Well, that won't change the plaintiff's name. I'm not changing nobody. Make it easy, buddy. I'm only asking you who's the guy on first base? That's right. Okay. All right. I mean, what's the guy's name on first base? No, what is on second? I'm not asking you who's on second base. Who's on third? I don't know. Oh, he's on third. We're not talking about him. Now, how could I get on third base? Why, you mentioned his name. If I mentioned a third baseman's name, who did I say is playing third? No, who's playing first? What's on first? What's on second? I don't know. He's on third. There I go. Back on third again. How could you say on third base you don't go off it? All right. What do you want to know? Now, who's playing third base? Why do you insist on putting who on third base? What am I putting on third? Oh, what is on second? You don't want who on second? Who is on first? I don't know. Third base! Look, you got our field. Sure. The left field is named. Why? I just thought I'd ask. Well, I just thought I'd tell you.  Who is playing first? I'm not! Stay out of the infield! I want to know what's the guy's name in left field. No, what is on second? I'm not asking you who's on second. Who's on first? I don't know. Third base! His name? Why? Because. Oh, he's center field.  Look, look, look. You got a pitcher on a team. Sure. What's the pitcher's name? Tamara. You don't want to tell me today? I'm telling you, man. Go ahead. Tamara. What time? What time? What time? Tamara, you're going to tell me who's pitching. Now, listen. Who is not pitching? I'll break your arm, you say? Who's on first? I want to know what's the pitcher's name. What's on second? I don't know. Third base! How to catch it? Certainly. The catcher's name. Today? Today. The Tamara's pitcher. Now, you've got it. All we got is a couple of days on a left field. I know I'm a catcher, too. So they don't. I could be behind a plate, do some fancy catching. Tamara's pitching on my team and a heavy hitter gets up. Yes. Now, the heavy hitter puts the ball. When he puts the ball, me being a good catcher, I'm going to throw the guy out of first base, so I pick up the ball and throw it to a who. Now, that's the first thing you've said right. I don't even know what I'm talking about. That's all you have to do. Just to throw the ball to first base. Yes. Now, who's got it? Naturally. I throw the ball to first base, somebody's got to get it. Now, who has it? Naturally. Who? Naturally. Naturally. Naturally. So I pick up the ball and I throw it to naturally. No, you don't. You throw the ball to a who. Naturally. That's different. That's what I say. You're not saying that. I throw the ball to naturally. You throw it to a who. Naturally. That's it. That's what I said. That's it. You asked me. I throw the ball to a who. Naturally. Now, you asked me. You throw the ball to a who. Naturally. That's it. Same as you. Don't change your role. Same as you. Hey, now get it over with. I throw the ball to a who. Whoever it is, drops the ball and the guy runs a second. Yes. Who picks up the ball and throws it to what? What throws it to? I don't know. I don't know. It throws it back to tomorrow. Triple play. Yes. Another guy gets up and it's a long fly ball to be caused. Why? I don't know.  What?  Oh, that's short stuff. How many did you win? One moment for Camel Cigarette.

Hello, this is Nick from Laptop Media and today we will show you how to open the Lenovo Ideapad Flex 514 Gen 8. To remove the bottom plate, you have to undo 9 Torx head screws. Then, you can detach the panel with a plastic tool. Please remember, it would be of great help to us if you just hit the like button and subscribe to our channel. That would motivate us to make even more and better videos for you. The battery has a capacity of 52.5 watt hours. As expected, first, you have to pull out the battery connector from the motherboard. After that, you have to undo the 3 Phillips head screws that are keeping the battery in place. The capacity of the unit is enough for 11 hours and 7 minutes of either web browsing or video playback. For storage, there is a single M.2 slot compatible with the shorter 2242 Gen 4 SSDs. However, due to AMD platform limitations, the slot speed is downgraded to Gen 3 values. The NVMe here is protected by a metal plate that has a cooling pad on the inside which is good. The memory is soldered to the motherboard. The maximum possible amount of RAM is 16GB LPDDR4X, 4266 MHz memory in a dual channel mode. The cooling system looks standard for such a device. It has one fan and two heat pipes.


So the Tata Indian Premier League is in full swing and you can't keep the West Indians out of the game. Although there was a team showing from Andre Russell in Kolkata Night Riders seven week it lost to Chennai Super Kings earlier on Monday. Russell could only manage a runner ball 10 while fellow West Indian the international retired Sunil Narain carved out 20 ball 27 KKR were restricted to 137.9 from their 20 overs. CSK then got to victory at 141 for 3 in 17.4 overs and Narain finished with 1 for 30 from his four overs. The most noteworthy performance had however taken place over the weekend when the Caribbean Flare in this season's tournament took centre stage. Guyanese Allrounder Ramario Shepard first smashed an unbeaten 10 ball 39 to lift Mumbai Indians to a 29 run win over Delhi on Sunday. Their first win of the campaign Trinbegonian left-hander Nicholas Puran then followed suit in the day's second encounter as he too fashioned an unbeaten knock 32 from 22 balls to help look now Super Giants to a 33 run win over Gujarat Titans. Their third win on the truck Nikhil Timchandani joins us via zoom to discuss the latest West Indian performances in the competition. Always great to have you on the show Nikhil and I think Ricardo had said last week that he picks KKR to win the Indian Premier League this year and they very well may do but they had a stutter today didn't they. Yeah I think it was interesting really to see how things unfolded. You look at first two weeks of the IPL. It has been a lot of batting dominance a lot of flat surfaces plastic surfaces that hasn't really offered much for the bowlers but this was the typical quintessential chip off surface that we sort of expected where you're always going to have something in it for your spinners and the guys who score runs are more often than not those that are probably the better players of spin. It's interesting because you listen to the pitch report the way that the KKR started Narain and Raghu Banshee put on 56 from 36 and I thought well wow this is a 200 like surface but it changed so quickly. So it's a big fact during of when the toss win the game because you saw how the true factor then came in and help CSK's butters in the second inning. So yeah I think this is what we expected from Chaypot going in. It's why Chennai have invested heavily in guys like Mahesh T. Chana. They've got most of these are who can take pace off the ball. And of course Jereja who was very good today but look this is a team built for home conditions. They've won 70 percent of their matches at the Chaypot and if they can continue in that trend they're going to be definitely in the playoffs and then be a hard team to beat come the end of the IPL. Yeah we looked at the weekend's result and we saw where Romario Shepherd exploded and Nicholas Puran continued his good match winning or match finishing form a good look for the Western displayers heading to the T20 World Cup this summer. Yeah well Lance I think we know that Romario Shepherd's biggest thing has always been opportunity. I mean you even look at in the CPL he doesn't face as many deliveries and I think it's almost worked in his favor in situations like this where he's almost mastered the ability to come in and not have five or ten balls where he can get himself set. He has to literally go from ball one and in the game where you win by 29 runs he gets 32 off the last over. It is absolutely massive. I think he has nailed himself on for the rest of the tournament. This guy on screen Nicholas Puran. I think we need to have a serious discussion about him when it comes to West Indian prospect because the finishing ability of him and the regularity in which he's been able to sort of bat in the middle overs and even at the back end but strike at one sixty one seventy. Lance it's made me rethink are we using the course for and the right way for the West Indies. Is he better at three or is he better at five where you can literally take apart the best bowlers in the world at the back end of the innings and capitalize. He has been for me the reason why that now are so strong this season impact in every game. Yeah. And I've always been impressed with Nicholas Puran. He's one of my favorite cricketers globally and I agree with you. I think there is a lot of explosiveness in his cricket and on his best day he can take any any bowling attack apart. Yeah. And I understand the discussion. Everyone will say well look you want your best T20 players the butlers that they're at facing the most deliveries. But when Nicholas Puran does bat early so let's see bats at three for the West Indies comes in the public. A lot of times he's facing the swinging ball or facing that team's best bowlers where the ball is new. So at times he can actually be dismissed. Obviously it can work in both ways. But I'm watching him in this IPA the way that he's taking down teams from over 12 to 20. I think it could it could really help the West Indies. It'd be interesting to see after this IPA if he continues in this vein how Darren Sammy and them sort of see him best because you can have a situation where maybe you send rather firm up the order who's another left handed option who can bat at four. And then you have to run at five to sort of finish your innings because you look at class in Puran Russell. These guys are winning games for their teams because of the finishing ability in this IPL. Yeah. And just going back to Romario Shepherd for a moment you mentioned about him getting opportunities. This is only his second game for Mumbai since the IPL started and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. Massively. And many forget that Shepherd went a whole season at Sunrises didn't play a game. Lucknow Super Giants last season he didn't play. So it's been a long time coming for him. What I think he adds for them is I know you went for 54 runs in the last game but it was a batting paradise. I think a death bowling option. So it takes some of the load off of Jasper Boomer and definitely this power hitting. It allows Hardik Pandia who we saw bat at four for the first time this season where I think he's best suited because now you have another finisher almost like a Pollard S from a couple of years ago. You've got Tim David and Shepherd who obviously put on that mammoth partnership and it's not often that you see Tim David as a spectator at the other end. It just tells you the magnitude of this guy's hitting ability. Massive massive I think deal for West Indian prospects going into the T20 World Cup. Yeah. And a quick comment on Rajasthan Royals 4 and 0 so far in the tournament. Nikhil Shimrun Hetmar has been playing Robman Powell. No games yet. Yeah. Best bowling lineup in the tournament for me. It's crazy that my hasn't really done anything with the bat and it's because he hasn't had the opportunity to. It's a top order that has fired supremely well. Joss Butler got a hundred a couple of days ago. Rianne Parag is in the top run scores. Samson their captain has started well as always. But that bowling lineup those two spinners Chahal and Ashwin both and Nandre Berga credit to their scouting team for bringing in the left arm Stephen from South Africa. I just can't see an area where they're weak in terms of the bowling side of things. They're suited from all conditions in the IPL. And if you win a couple more games you're pretty much nailed into the playoffs. Obviously it's a different game when you get into those playoffs. But that bowling lineup you know the same lads. They say batting wins your games the bowling wins your tournaments. They're well on track to win this competition. Yeah. And is there any worry at all Nikhil about Robman Powell not playing up to this point. He hasn't played any competitive cricket since the PSL I think that would be well. Mid-March would have been the last time he played. But as the team tries to well Weston this players try to fine tune their skills for the T20 World Cup any concern that Robman isn't seeing any action just yet.  Yeah. From a Westonian perspective of course we would love to see him play. Unfortunately Rajasthan they have their best interests of their team at heart. So no surprises for me that they've backed up just because of how well he's done in the last couple of years. Three seasons he's struck out over 150 in that number five and six position for them. So I'm not surprised that they've stuck with him. I think luckily for Westonian fans that the fact that Robman Powell is not in the team is good. That is Hepmeier who's playing in front of him because another Westonian who is trying to sort of show the captain show the selectors and head coach that he can make a difference in the T20 World Cup team. I don't expect that top order to fire like this throughout the tournament. It's a long season. And I think Hepmeier who in my opinion I've seen a couple of videos of him on social media. He looks a lot leaner. He looks a lot fitter. And just seeing a couple of clips of him hitting the ball in the last couple of games he's hitting the ball well. So I mean he would have asked for a better opportunity with Robman in and working closely with him to impress. So let's see what happens. All right. Nick always great talking to you here on the Sportsmax zone. Of course you can see IPL matches on Sportsmax and or Sportsmax app or our next live commentary game is on Tuesday morning. So fans can look out for that as we continue to monitor the world's greatest T20 franchise tournament. Nick I will talk to you again soon. I'm sure it cheers. Let's have a good one. Yeah. Great. And we'll be back with more on the Sportsmax zone after this.

Hello everyone and welcome. This is Bahamut from Xtrades and today I'm going to go over a simple stock screener that is going to help us find some quality day trade tickers. Now we're going to use FinViz and it's going to be a screener that mainly focuses on relative volume. Just a disclaimer, this is not financial advice or investment advice and trading stocks comes with inherent risk. So to start we're going on the FinViz website. This is the main page. We're going to go to the screener setting and we're going to go to charts just because it's easier to see and we're going to go to all up here to that would select all of these three selections, the descriptive fundamental and technical aspects to find these tickers and we're going to start with the market cap. Now personally I trade small small small cap stocks so personally I trade small cap stocks so I'm going to go to the small option which is under two billion market cap so anything that has a two billion market cap or below is what is going to help narrow down this selection. Now my second filter I'm going to do is the performance and we're just going to select in general today up because we just want the stock to be in the green today. We want it to be positive. Now I'm doing this at 12.18 pm and this is on Wednesday so by now the market has already been open for a couple of hours and that will affect a few of my selections here. I'll get into that in a second and next selection I'm going to do is the price. Now because I mainly trade small caps you're not going to see too many stock prices have a higher price than around $10 so I usually do $10 or under and that will help narrow this down even further. Right now we're up to 101 pages so but it'll get down to only a couple. Now we will move on to the volume selectors. Now personally I like doing an average volume of over 50k and it's a very small amount of volume but I find a lot of tickers their volume is drying up and it may only get 50k maybe 100k per day on average and we'll get into the relative volume stage now because this is what's going to help really narrow this list down. I'm going to go relative volume over five and this is mainly because right now it's past noon so it's almost midday through the trading day so if this was maybe at the bell or maybe 30 minutes or two an hour after the bell I would probably only do a relative volume of two or three because there wouldn't be enough trading time currently but right now we're already a couple hours in so I want something that has a lot of volume and so that's what I'm going to go with over five right now and this is the only one this is the only selector that would probably change throughout this list it would go from five to maybe two or three the rest of this is probably going to stay around the same we're going to select change and just do up because once again we just want the stock to be positive at the moment we don't want to have high relative volume and to be down on the day and then we're going to go to industry and just select stocks only just to narrow down if you don't want any ETFs or reeds or anything else now we're going to go to float I wouldn't go too crazy with float I just do under 50 million it's it's it's it's kind of hard to find some stocks that have very very small float it'll narrow the list down to only a few options and it might be too late to even trade them so I'm going to go under 50 mil and we're current volume I'm going to go with over 100,000 now normally I only do about two relative volume which is the standard so 100k simply doubles the 50k average volume and it just helps it solidify the the relative volume so I'm not going to change that right now and here we have a list of only two pages which is pretty decent if you can get it down to one page where you can narrow down your choices that's great too so this is just the general list we're going to start with just looking at the charts in general and seeing what seeing what pops out and what would draw us the attention now BANL is something I traded yesterday and sold today and then reentered already it has a strong sell-off and it has just a nice accumulation down here and we saw yesterday it had a pretty strong candle and then today it continued so that's why I reentered and now we're going to go to the chart just to show you let's go to BANL okay so BANL you see how it had a strong sell-off here and it's been slowly declining but it has been accumulating here and forming a nice base today we're actually above the 50 um exponential moving average and it looks like soon we'll get a cross of the five and 50 EMA and there are no gaps as this ended at 125 and this is 126 so there's no gaps to fill and there's two strong candles in a row so I'm looking for this to become possibly a three white soldiers pattern forming and it seems like the next resistance would be around around the 170 area so if you can break through there then we know this this stock is going to be very strong now I skipped over ATXI just because I don't usually trade stocks that are around 20 cents like this one and it has a lot of gap downs it's it's very it looks like a very volatile ticker I'm looking for more of just nice patterns that can continue and have and strong results now the next one is BTDR and BTDR daily pattern looks like a nice ascending triangle to me I'll just draw that real quick so for this one I will put about I'm gonna be putting this one on watch and I'm gonna watch to see if it breaks through just a general resistance right here around four dollars and you see the volume is really ticking up in recent weeks and a lot of these could be day traded some of them are probably be swing trade it's like BTDR via swing trade once it breaks the four dollar mark okay and now let's move on to GVP GVP had a very strong candle yesterday very high relative volume and today we see the volume is almost that yesterday's forming a nice forming a nice doji candle and it's just sitting above the 50 exponential moving average so we know that this is some pretty decent support still so I'll watch to see if it closes above this 50 EMA level and how strong this candle closes to next up would be HLP I don't like this chart just looking at on finviz it just looks like there's this looks like more of a distribution rather than rather than a flag it looks like a flag at first to me it looks like distribution I'll it'll be it'll be kept on watch to see if it breaks above this 100 exponential moving average right here this pinkish line because it is still holding above the 50 and it touches the five today so it could play out but it wouldn't be my top watch LIFW that's something I traded yesterday due to which we're at high relative volume today we see the volume is about half of yesterday's showing some resistance at the 50 EMA so this is something I wouldn't touch at the moment because it's likely to keep bouncing up that 50 line and likely get rejected so if it goes above that then that's definitely something that will be put on watch next up is MNPR so you can see say this has extremely high relative volume found support at the 50 huge gap up so to me this would be something where I'm going to watch to see if tomorrow's candle is going to be an inside candle and likely form a flagging pattern it'll probably tomorrow's candle will probably be around there and then next one will probably be a little bit lower and I'll see if this can continue catching support at this 50 EMA and then we'll see if it can break out of a flagging pattern so that will be put on watch next up is Pixie Pixie we day traded this yesterday and it lost all of its gains and it came back up today so relative volumes about the same as it was yesterday and currently the price is below the five expansion moving average which is not a great sign it looks like it looks like see how all these candles are closing below it they keep spiking above it and falling back below you can see yesterday's candle came way above it even above the eight expansion moving average and closed below so for now this will be put on watch and if it can close above the five then we know it's strong because it hasn't closed above the five in several weeks about a month now so we know we know that's that's a crucial point for this stock next one will be pstv pstv today had a cross of the five EMA through the eight and the 13 EMA and now it's finding support at the 20 EMA so that's a good sign and there's no gap and today's volume is about three quarters of the way there to yesterday with only half the trading trading day gone so that's a pretty good sign this is definitely going to be put on watch um it's slowly approaching closer and closer to the 50 from each spike it had beforehand so that will be the crucial level to see if you can break above there especially if it closes above this 20 EMA next up is s i e n this is not something I would trade only because today's candle is an inside candle and it looks very weak and it's the volume is very low compared to yesterday but it's still very high relative volume but it's selling off both candles were big sell-off big gap downs so this is something I would avoid next up is t h r d so t h r d another one another big sell-off candle inverted hammer and looks like it has some resistance right near that 50 EMA as well even though the whole chart is pretty strong ever since it's gapped down back in last year it's been pretty strong since then so it could be put on watch as a nice swing in the future but I wouldn't be looking to enter just yet not until it regains the 50 EMA and continues this process then we have t r k a t r k a once again not much volume compared to yesterday but still pretty high relative volume some resistance at the 50 EMA so not something I would trade just yet until it can continue closing above the five and at least closing near the 50 EMA not showing too much resistance there and getting constantly rejected there and then on the second page we only have one at z v s a z v s a higher volume higher volume than yesterday and the candle is forming higher highs and and higher lows in yesterday too so that's a positive sign you get higher volume and you have higher highs and higher lows and it's currently finding rejection at the 13 EMA so this is something I'd probably keep on watch for now I wouldn't jump into it as a day trade but it'd be something that'd be put on watch and clear resistance you know the 50 well I hope you enjoyed this simple video about a relative volume stock screener and please subscribe to the xtrades youtube
