Hello and welcome to Road Gear Reviews. I'm Josh from the Freedom Theory and today I want to show you the Blue Fire Semi-Rigid Flexible Wireless Endoscope. Now if you're wondering what an endoscope is, it's something like this that has a little camera on the end and it lets you see inside things or see inside people. It's something your doctor might use, although this one is not designed for seeing in people so please don't try that at home. This one is designed for looking inside your RV or truck. Now there are a number of things that I like about this. As you can see it is quite long. This is about 6.6 feet long. Now at the end of this endoscope there are six LED lights that are actually very bright and you may have noticed in the name it was described as semi-rigid and you can see why. So if you need to get it positioned somewhere you can do so. It's pretty rigid up to about a foot out or so and you can get it positioned. Now the reason that I got this endoscope particularly is because it was one of the only ones that I could find that was wireless for a good cost. I really like the wireless endoscope because you don't have to have it connected to the charging port on your phone. You can just set your phone or your tablet to the side and you can just set your phone or your tablet to the side and then position the endoscope how you need it positioned. The wireless range is up to 15 meters so you can have your phone or tablet up to 15 meters away from the endoscope and it also does take pictures and record. So it actually has six resolutions that it can record in with the largest one being 1280 by 720 pixels which isn't a very high resolution but it's more than enough for you to see what's going on or to take a picture or a video to show somebody else. Now the way that you use this is really simple. It doesn't require any Bluetooth tethering or anything like that. When you flip it to on a little Wi-Fi network will show up on your phone or tablet and that Wi-Fi network will just be called endoscope. Now this little knob here controls the lights and it's really that simple to use. As you can see I've got it on right now. The lights are turned all the way down and as you can see they actually get really bright when you turn them up. Another thing that I like about it is that it doesn't have any batteries you need to replace. It actually has a micro USB charging port right here. It's got a built in lithium battery and the micro USB charging port is what most people will be charging their phones or tablets with already so chances are you have one of those lying around. Another nice feature of this is that it is waterproof. This is perfectly fine to stick down a drain or anywhere where there's water. However it does not have a magnet on it. There are some endoscopes that have a built in magnet right here so if something falls down a drain you can actually fish it out with the endoscope. That's not what this is designed for and for our needs that's fine. Now this is quite easy to set up. As I said when you turn it on there will be a wireless network that shows up called endoscope. You don't have to set the password for that network. You are actually going to connect to it through your phone or your tablet. You're not going to connect to it through the app so you don't need to change the password or anything like that. You just connect to the wireless network on your phone or tablet. This does support Android devices that are 4.4 or above and any iOS devices that are eight or above. So it's supported by a wide range of devices and to set it up it's very simple. There is a QR code in the manual that you can scan. That QR code is they have one for Android and one for iOS so you can scan that and it will take you to the website to download the app. That's not the way that I would recommend doing it just because at least on Android you're going to have to enable what's called side loading which just lets you install apps from unauthorized sources. What I would do instead is just go to the Google Play Store. Again this is for Android, I don't have an iPhone. I would go to the Google Play Store and just get the Wi-Fi View app and the name of that app is also in the manual. So once you have that app you just have to turn it on while your phone or tablet is connected to the wireless network and you're good to go with one caveat. Caveat is this. If you're running an Android phone that's seven or higher then you need to turn off your mobile data to have the camera work. That's not a problem with the endoscope, that's actually a problem with Android 7. I don't know if that's deliberate or if it's a bug but the issue is that when there's a Wi-Fi network that doesn't have internet access Android 7 automatically just tries to go over your mobile data and when it does that it can't connect to the camera on the endoscope. So that's the issue there.  I originally got this endoscope just because I thought that it would be a good thing to have around. Sometimes when I was doing work on the RV and needed to get my hand in somewhere where my face and eyes couldn't get to I would actually try to position the phone with the front facing camera on where I could kind of see the screen of the phone and work and I was just getting way too complicated. So I got this endoscope just to have around. One of the first things that I used it for was about four o'clock in the morning at a gas station in Georgia when our water pump went out. I found myself under the truck with the endoscope checking out the water pump just to see if that was a problem. Some other things that I've used it for one time we had our slides not working correctly. Actually they weren't working at all. They wouldn't come in or come out. It ended up being a circuit breaker that I didn't even know existed. So when I got on RV.net and asked for help they said, well, check the circuit breaker and here's where it should be. I couldn't find the circuit breaker so I actually took pictures with the endoscope and somebody was able to tell me based off those pictures where the circuit breaker was. We've also used it just up in our roof to check where studs were so we can mount the TV. I've used it to check behind drawers. One very important thing that I use this for is checking when I'm drilling into the walls of the RV to make sure that I'm not going to hit any wiring. One time the endoscope actually saved my bacon because I would have hit some wiring.  As much as I like this product I'm sure you've heard the saying that you get what you pay for and that's certainly true here. This is priced lower than most of its competitors and there are a couple of corners that it cuts. For one it doesn't have any side mirrors on it or side lights. Also the resolution is a little bit lower than higher priced products and it doesn't have a magnet on the end to fish things out of a dream. In spite of those things I really love the product for the price. So this has been my review of the Blue Fire Semi-Rigid Flexible Wireless Endoscope. I'd like to thank you for watching and also encourage you to leave a comment down below. Let me know if you've used this product or similar ones.

Hey what's up you guys, quick word, thank you first of all for watching this video, thank you for the incredible support that you've given me over the years, it doesn't matter if you've watched one video or you've watched a hundred or you've watched a thousand because there is almost two thousand videos on the channel. Thank you so much, the time has come, the time has come for me to create a reaction based channel. I asked you guys the question, over eighty percent of you said you would be interested in that so I've decided to take the leap of faith and create a brand new channel, zero subscribers, zero views. This will be, this video you're watching right now will be one of probably the last five or six reaction videos you will ever see on this channel based around the Rugby Player Reacts title. I'm officially retiring my series titled Rugby Player Reacts. In the future I will be putting all of my reaction videos on my second channel Jake Reacts. I wish you all the best, I hope that I'll see you there. If you do want to subscribe please do, the link is in the description box below. Like I said this is going to be one of the last reaction videos you'll see on this channel, I'm going to put my heart and soul into this new one and I'd absolutely love your support. If you enjoy my videos I know you'll enjoy these ones. I'm in Rockhampton now, this is my new environment, you'll see all of that plus more on my new channel Jake Reacts. The link is in the description box below. Thank you so much guys. Enjoy the video. Alright guys what is going on and welcome back to another video. In today's video I'm feeling under the weather but I've got my two little kids coming around in about an hour and as the saying goes and it certainly does go when you're a father especially of young kids. You make hay while the sun shines and the sun shining today that's for sure. So guys the first video of the day we're looking at a New Zealander, a sprinter of African descent who holds, what does he hold, nothing but his dad holds the 100 meter record for New Zealand. Now this guy is the fastest person in Australasia at 19 years of age and I've just read that his father actually holds a record so he's set his sights on breaking the record currently held by his dad. So let's get into this. This is going to be really good. You know usually when we're looking at sprinters we're talking about Matthew Bowling recently but I've got two more guys that we're going to do a bit of a dive on today and the first one is named Eddie Osei Nkita or at least that's how I'm going to pronounce it. So let's go. On the bird. He's got a, I hear some UK there. Let's see. Okay, I think we've got him third in from the right. He is an, look at the size of his legs. Did he have a UK accent or is it New Zealand accent or is it halfway between? Let's go. On the box, my competitive match takes over. Actually that sounds South African. Look at him go.  When I'm running I feel like I'm flying. The last 40, that's my favorite part of the race. Okay, we've got a Usain Bolt on our hands. Geez that was impressive. Eddie Osei Nkita, but he doesn't call me Eddie or Ed. Who? My name is Edward Osei Nkita. Osei Nkita. Eddie Osei Nkita, but he doesn't call me Eddie or Ed or Ed. I am a 100 meter and a 200 meter sprinter. And he's from New Zealand? Oh my God, all right.  I want to know how tall he is. 90. It's glutes and it's hamstrings. It's only 18 years old. It's one meter and 90. One meter and 90. It's hamstrings. Six foot three. They're just so big and powerful. Where has he come from? He's been doing weights since he turned two or something like that. Generically he's an unbelievable specimen. First I was born in Ghana and then I was born up in Whangapura in Auckland. My dad was a sprinter that's from New Zealand. 1990 to 2000. Got some good genetics. I went to the Olympics and Commonwealth Games. Then a couple of World Championships. I set the record 1994 Commonwealth Games. He's very good at... Set the New Zealand record. 100 and my goal is to get that record. What did he get? He's very good at 10-11. 10-11. And my goal is to get that record under 10 seconds. I've got ghost bumps. I've run 10, 19 and 100. 10, 19. 20, 76 and the 200. 20, 76 and the 200. I need to be the best that I can be and also run under 10 seconds so I can just lead the way for the Kiwis. That's how good. He took his first step at 10 months. Now that is early. I'm just trying to think when Tate took her first steps. Around about 11 months. So I'm backing her to be special too. I moved to Hebron and just settled in. What?  I moved to Hebron and just settled in. One of the things I enjoyed about camp was... And I used to track. And my training ground. I always called my program my happy place. I always felt like I don't hate it. I'm going to be a sport star but my friends just want to start fighting and drinking. I just want to go my own pathway. Good old Whitney Wallington. Eddie's a really great story here for Wellington. I issued an invitation to him and his father who came to our capital classic and so we flew them over from Canberra and won the handrail and the season just took off. Canberra? Okay, so at the age of nine, he went to Canberra and it sounds as if he's currently living there. He came back and ran the nationals and obviously took out his training. He set me a title which was an amazing victory young kid and then put a spot at the Doha World Championship. I appreciate it. Oh yeah? Ready to race, bro. He hooked up with Gary and Smith at Scots and they offered him some scholarships to come over here and carry on with his running so he could part of the New Zealand program. Bro, play rugby, man. It makes sense for me to come back away rather than being a gold. I was raised there and like, New Zealand, I love the atmosphere. I love the people. I see everything beautiful about the country. It makes me feel like I'm safe and thin. Nice, so he's gone over there at age nine. He respects both countries just as all of us Kiwis do. But he wants to represent the black and white and that makes me almost want to cry. I feel like a mother dog. I'm jealous. I am jealous, guys. Football. Don't put me in a quarterback position. Running back, mate.  Stephen Adams. It's from 2008 to 2011. Stephen Adams went to that school from 2008 to 11. Okay.  Reminds me of Anthony Joshua. He's going to Doha, man. That was a dream. Look who he's racing against for God's sake. We've got to watch that race. Doha. Doha Heats. It's wet. He's got a great start. This guy sticking in is surprisingly quick. Look at his technique, man. Oh. Running an amazing race, finishing strong, not even having to dip your head because you know you've got it.  It does. I'm not even going to try and hide it.  Okay, Doha. Let's try and find them. All men's 100-metre Heats. Boom. Is that him second in? No, it's not. We've got an Australian. We've got DeGrasse areas. Areas. Lane 8. The Doha Athletic World Championships 2019. Heat number two on your marks. He's got a great start. He loves the last 40. Let's see how he goes. Let's see the times. Justin Gatlin was in that race, right? 10-24. And he missed out by 0.01 of a second. So if he got 10-23, he would have reached the semifinals. Okay, 10-24.  Justin Gatlin and DeGrasse. I don't know if I'm saying that right, but let's watch that again. I'm going to watch his race against Gatlin specifically. Gatlin's on the right. Is he? Yes. So they're right by each other. They're right beside each other. Let's go. Lane 8 and 9. 10 years of age at this, man. At this point. Unbelievable. He needs to start a YouTube channel. That's all I'm going to say. But that's it. Guys, for our first video of the day. And I absolutely loved it. I hope you guys did too. I began this feeling completely and utterly under the weather. But when you see something like this, when you see a guy from your homeland doing this kind of thing, let's just hope that this guy can stay healthy. Stay with a great coach. He keeps pushing him. And it seems as if he's got the internal drive to push himself. So he'll be out of school now. He'll be doing it on his own. And that's just exciting. So with that said, in the next video, we're going to look at a guy who I haven't seen before. But this is a video that's come up on my channel. Especially since I've been watching Matthew Bowling. Now this guy's name is LaLou Zori. LaLou Muhammad Zori. Announced himself on the global scene in 2019 when he shocked the world. And that's all I'm going to read. Thank you so much for watching. Thank you so much for the support. And I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trading Hour with your host, David White. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, David White. And welcome all to another excellent edition of the Power Trading Hour with me, your humble, lovable, and squeezibly soft host. The following takes place between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. So what do we have going on today? Well, not a lot other than Boeing and GE headed lower, which has got the Dow off, well, let's just update this now to tell you correctly, down 115, but of course, the rest of the index not doing much. NASDAQ's up three and a half points while the S&P's down one and a half. It was down maybe 10 at one point. Russell's off six. Everybody waiting for good dough and the trade deal, but it kind of lumbers on. Again, kind of an initial push early in the morning kind of faded out and just don't have a lot of buyers, don't have a lot of sellers. Volume is at very light levels. In fact, let me pull them up here. There we go. So if we just talk about volume, overall volume, last Thursday and Friday, we had about 6.4 billion shares day before that, 7.4 billion shares. And of course, we're looking for something in the range of about 10 billion shares. They get us through those highs. If not, it's going to take a long, long time for us to get through them. So we just don't have a lot of juice. Whether you look at it in shares or you look in a dollars trade, we need about 400 billion. On the 22nd of March, we had $415 billion traded. And Friday, 288 billion. So I mean, whether you look at it in straight dollar terms or share terms or whatever, the action just continues to kind of shrink. And we don't get the signals that say that we should go short, but at the same time, we don't have any signals that say, at least if you're talking about swing trading in shorter, I don't see anything that really says you should be long in the equities, whether it's the S&P or the NASDAQ. There's just not much to hang your hat on. There's a few stocks, of course, that you can look at for some movement. But that's about it. We're going to look through all the stocks at resistance and support levels that we can fit in today. I welcome your call at<PHONE_NUMBER>. I enjoy your emails at path at tfnn.com. And it would tickle me pink if you put something in the den. So, again, we know what kind of volume we had the last couple of days. So what happens today? Well, we're at an hour and 50 minutes left in the day with 3.6 billion shares. That does not bode well. I'm going to say that at the run rate today, we're going to be lucky to hit 6 billion shares unless something grammatically happens. We really don't have anything in the way of earnings coming up. I think that would literally move the market. Nothing to day. Tuesday after the bell at WD-40. I never remember when that one actually moved market after or is that before the bell? Before the bell on Wednesday, we've got Delta Airlines after that bell, Bed Bath and Below. But I don't think that's going to do much for us. We get into Thursday fast and all. Again, just not a lot going on after the bell. Literally nothing. And then we get into Friday. Now that's finally where we've got something that'll happen. J.P. Morgan out before the bell on Friday. Wells Fargo also, PNC Bank, Infosys. So we've got a handful of stocks. But like I said, there isn't a lot out there to hang your hat on. Now when we come back on Monday, we've got Citigroup, Goldman Sachs opening up Monday morning. And I think that's it for a few days. Bank of America on Tuesday, a week from Tuesday morning, United Health Care Johnson and Johnson. So we start getting into it, but it starts with the financials a little bit. And then of course, you were talking about options expiration actually starting this week. They'll go Delta Neutral on the 10th, which is two days from now, an actual day, the 10th of April. And of course, you've got till the 19th till expiration. But they'll try to make sure that they can't they take as much money as they can and hedge the rest on the 10th. And it's got a small bullish bias. I thought this morning when I saw some headlines about Pinterest going public that it was imminent. The first couple of articles I read, it sounded like it did. Then later on some clarifications are it's going to be a few weeks down the line. And I've got another sneak. Well, that was a good one. So I thought, well, maybe they'll hold the market up this week to try to get Pinterest out. It's actually a lower valuation that was two years ago when they were talking about going public. They would have been probably very smart to have done it at that time. Now, I think a lot of people see the windows starting to close on a market. Well, maybe they're not as hungry for these giant Beemoths. Of course, in Silicon Valley, they call them the unicorns. Those stocks with bigger than a billion dollar valuation and still are not public. This one much in advance of the billion dollars. But certainly not as much or worth as much as it was a couple of years ago. So people are after seeing some of the other stuff like Lyft starting to say, well, maybe one public is not where it's at this time. So we're going to see over the next few days. But I think probably the market's going to be a little bit disappointed. But anyway, look for some volatility on Wednesday. I think that's going to set up maybe a slow drift tire into options expiration. But again, few sellers, few buyers and just not enough stuff. Friday probably the first day of the week where we'll have some kind of catalyst to move the markets with JPMorgan and Corsiti Group on Monday. What else do we have going on? Well, we're waiting with baited breath for your phone call here at<PHONE_NUMBER>.  So I will have baited breath. And then we'll be back. We'll do a little bit of history. And then we'll get right into charts. So it'll be an action packed show even if the market seems to want to take a CSF.

And it's all just a little bit of history repeating. On this day in 1950, Senator Joseph McCarthy labels Professor Owen Latimore, extremely dangerous so far as the American people are concerned, in a carefully worded public speech but stops short of calling him a Soviet spy. You know, this started, of course, what everybody called the Red Scare. A lot of people said it was fake. The problem was that we had intercepted Soviet communications. There's a thing called the Verona Papers where we got a clue into how to break their codes. Found out that many people actually were Soviet spies. And we took care of them kind of quietly, sometimes publicly as this was. Joseph McCarthy was a horrible drunk. If he would have been a little more measured, we probably would have done a little bit better of rooting out the traitors in our midst. Today, we still have them. And of course, I think any country's gonna have traitors to any one aspect. They did prosecute him as usual for perjury in front of Congress. It took about three or four years for him to unwind that. They could not, of course, let everybody know that they'd already undone the secret codes from the Soviets. And found out that he was not only working for the Soviets, but the Chinese also. In fact, he kind of got the boot. Because during the war, he was actually working for us to help try to put the Chai Ken. Can't even remember his name now. Chai Ken. Man, the guy that ran the country that ended up who scouting over to Taiwan with all his buddies because the communists and Mao actually ended up winning that skirmish and running them out of the country. Chai Ken. Chai Ken. I'll remember it eventually. Anyway, the capitalist, of course, went over to Taiwan and had a great time making lots of money, making lots of product, being the envy of China, actually. Well, Lattimore, at least, was tossed out of the land of higher education. Eventually left the country to go do his evil elsewhere. But enemies foreign and domestic will probably never go away for a country on this day. At least we labeled one of these guys what they were. Even if they did, it'd go a little bit overboard, like Joseph McCarthy. There were a lot. Of course, I always love the Chamber Whitaker's story where we didn't find out until the wall came down and we bought all the paperwork from the Soviet spy agencies and were able to go through it and find out, yes, indeed, he was a Soviet spy also. But just because they say they aren't doesn't mean it's true. And just because they say they are, of course, doesn't mean it's so either. On this day in 1950, a dark part of our history during the biggest part, probably the earliest part of the Cold War. What else do we have going on out here? It's actually, I didn't want to do that. Hang on a second here. I've got that over here. Okay, we're going to go through a bunch of charts as many as we have time for and see where we're at in the resistance levels. Aerocap Holdings AERs, the symbol on this one, came in with 1.7 million shares on January 30th. It was at $48.82. Again, 1.7 million shares. On Friday, we had 660,000 shares. Today, just 345. So again, these legs up from mid-March on a lot of these stocks, very, very light. It doesn't mean that we've got any signal to go short. But at the same time, I'd be very nervous to be long. American International Group, AIG, bangin' away at the $45 mark, came into it on February 13th with 5 million shares. And then you came in again on February 26th with 6.6 million shares, got into it Friday with 4 million shares. Today, you're only doing a million shares. So when we're talking about volume just contracting both to the upside end, the downside, it is rather staggering. Back up at its previous October 31st, 2018, high, $73.99, 4 million shares. On Friday, we got into it with 840,000 shares. Today, just 295,000 shares so far. So when we talk about volume contracting, it's not hyperbole or hyperbole. Always which one? I've heard people say both, hyperbole and hyperbole. But maybe the people that say hyperbole don't know how it's pronounced. I don't, for sure. Okay, all state. Back into its kind of a descending triple top going back to November 9th. You're looking for something a little over 2 million shares, spiked it on Friday with 1.4 million shares right back into the trading range today.  Allegiant, A-L-L-E, banging away at this $94 high from December 3rd. That had 1 million shares. You got into it on February 13th with 600,000 shares. On Friday, you got into it with 746,000 shares. One of the better ones out there but still significantly lighter volume. Alexian Pharmaceuticals looking for about 3 million shares off the September 28th high. 14077 with, like I said, 3 million shares. Last three days, 1.2 million shares. 1.2 million shares today. This 500,000 shares so far. Ambrella, the company that GoPro made and is still around, gapped down significantly. This was back on June 6th of 2018, did so on almost 11 million shares. We're finally coming back here and trying to fill a little bit of the gap. Last three days, 440,000 shares. Friday, 272,000 shares. Today, 127,000 shares. So we're not talking about a little change in volume. We're talking kind of volume changes that you, as I like to say, a blind man could see. I don't know if it's top, but I don't think we're going higher. What does that make it? A plateau? The plateau of 2890 on the S&P cash. Bed, bath and below massively shorted came out with a little better earnings or pre-announcement and news did gap higher recently. This is going back into the September 27th gap down though on 52 million shares. Last couple of days as we fill this gap, 15.4 million shares. Today, 8.5 million shares. We're basically closing that gap. And when we come back, we'll look at Ben Franklin resources. We've got a bunch of these stocks, but again, we're starting to get a signal. This isn't a signal with brief bursts of volume, 5.8. The signal's like a tenth of the volume. Moving back. The path of least resistance is David White's daily trading newsletter.

Got into it with 5 million shares December 3rd. Now we're into it on Friday, 1.6 million shares. Today, 931,000 shares. I would just be very careful. There's a lot of this going around. Let's get rid of that one. There's not much to see in that one. Let's go take a look at that one. I don't see anything in that. That. That. That. I'll look at that one in a second. Well, we got an email here that came in and says, you called the short squeeze in Yelp to a tee last year, popped up and ran positive for three days before a pullback. Today, INBEV is breaking out in the EV. Well, it certainly is. This came right back to the gap up from the 26th of December. That gap up came on 9.5 million shares. I got into it with 7 million shares on Thursday and 5 million shares on Friday. So it did exactly what it should. It came back, tested the bottom did so on lighter volume. And now you've got that giant squeeze in here. Let's take a look and see what we've got for short interest in this. I think we looked at this before. To two to two. INBEV. To two to two. Well, most days, one out of three shares has been shorted. So I don't know who's shorting a $5 stock. They should quit it. You got four days to cover and 30% short interest in it. So yeah, normally what you get in these are three days. You got a lot of people on the wrong side of this and they're losing a bunch.  So I would imagine that the high in this will come within the next three days on some margin calls. So yeah, if you're along this thing, I think you got a kind of a free roll for the next two days and you just want to watch it. It couldn't pull back yet could, but my guess is that if they're with a 30% short interest that they are not going to let these shorts out easily. And of course they've already lost 30%. So if, I don't know what else you can say about it. But yeah. Again, you may, this is an awful big bounce for today. But yeah, could you still see seven bucks out of it and possibly $780, which was the high back here on February 4th. With 30% short interest, the sky's the limit. I don't know the actual dollar amount, but I do expect this probably to peak out on Wednesday. So you want to watch it. And normally I'm not quick to get out of these until I watch them for the next two days. And you can see, but maybe they take the shorts to a cleaner on this one, but I don't understand people shorting a $5 stock. As I like to say, for a sucker play, a trader gets sucker pay. And that's certainly what you got if you're short a $5 stock on this one. To do with us, take a look at Costco. Costco breaking up to the September 11th, 2018 highs. That was $244.59. Again, with 2.2 million shares. You got into it on Friday with 1.6 million shares. Today, you've got 733,000 shares. So there is just nothing in the way of people coming in and running with the ball on these. Carter's. I wonder if these are the guys that have Carter's pills. Never heard it, but apparently Carter had a lot of pills. The only thing I know from my young upbringing where people talk about more than, he's got more something than Carter's has pills. February 25th, 103.42. 4 million shares. Got into it yesterday or Friday with 158,000 shares. Today, 182,000 shares. I don't know. I am not exactly sure.  Now I can't with Google. I have to Google everything. So I know the answer of it. Carter's little liver pills. Okay. Formulated as a patent medicine by Samuel Carter in 1868. It was a laxative, but called a liver pills. I don't know why, but apparently he had a lot of pills. I don't know why that is. I'll have to read more about that later. But at least I know that now. And I could sleep tonight. Serious logic is we get into the November 2nd high of serious logic. Crush CRUS symbol on that $43.25 with 2.8 million shares. Got into it March 21st with 880,000 shares. It's kind of pulled back a little bit. Got to 3929 on April 1st. Now we're back up volume 259,000 shares. Going into that 2.8 million share high. It doesn't really matter how you look at it. There's just literally no volume. And again, the thing I continue watching is any kind of break. Let's go ahead and change this to a nine day moving average. Nine zip and zip zip. There we go. Any close now below the next nine day moving average, generally ends up, if we get one in the next couple of days, ends up being a torrentially bad signal for most stocks. It's a Joe DiNapoli double repo pattern, which is for a double re-penetration of the trend line higher to what else do we have? CVR, CVX, take a look at that one. Chevron, I've been thinking that we're very close to some kind of high energy. So Chevron actually testing the May 22nd high. 12815, which is 5.44 million shares is we got, well, we're about a buck underneath that right now. We've gone with 2.8 million shares. So about half the volume of that May 22nd high of last year. And even if we want to look at more recent highs, like the October 10th high at 126.48, it had 6.5 million shares. So 5.5 million shares is the most charitable view of that high. And you just don't have much. You did challenge it on March 19th with 4.8 million shares. So it just wasn't, it just isn't that much used to actually go run this out. Again, we're going to have to have some kind of catalyst to get everybody going. We're going to have a very quiet week. Donaldson and company talk about light volume. We had on February 25th, $52.67 with 570,000 shares. Today, we just are right at the edge of 100,000 shares today. So again, quiet, quiet, quiet.  If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First mortgage program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from $30,000 to $75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to bankrate.com, the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four-year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First mortgage program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer, $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment? If you'd like more information about the Tiger First mortgage program, you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Distributor, Four Side Fund Services, LLC. Friday is the first day for a catalyst that I see. Maybe there'll be some other news come out, but not a lot that I see that's going to change anything. Discover Financial, going through its December 3rd high that had 2.2 million shares. On Friday, 1.5 million shares today, just 563,000 shares. Be very quiet while haunting rabbits. And that's what the market is like. It is very, very quiet. Dish Network finally filling this gap. That goes back to October 23rd with 5.8 million shares to do. So what was that? That was about, man, 35 bucks or so. So on Friday, as we put that gap down with 5.8 million shares, we got into it with 2.2 million shares today, doing about 900,000 shares so far. Decay, which is delic, pollings. I'm not going to look at that. It's bouncing around some lows. To what else do we have? Eat in Vance. At least it's testing something here. Going into the March 1st high, $42.66 with 1.2 million shares. Got into it on Friday with 700,000 shares and pulling back on light volume today. FBIO, which is Fortress Biotech. Looks like it's got some fairly decent support for a penny stock going back to this gap up on January 31st. That had 9.6 million shares. It came back into it with just 400,000 shares on March 6th. On Friday, you had 335,000 shares. Today, you got 170,000 shares. So if you're looking for total lack of volume, you can find it in many stocks today. Federated investors breaking through the March 19th high. Symbol is FII. March 19th, $30.58. Basically, 1 million shares. On Friday, you went through that with 563,000 shares today. 452,000 so far, but continuing a little higher. You're going to watch for a lot of these for a snapback. Now, on the positive side, we are looking at 59. FIV in the last major high that we're testing right now is the September 7th high at 49.50. That had 600,000 shares. Got 565,000 shares so far. But that looks like that right around $50 range could be support if it can get back in there in the next couple of days. Don't see a great deal on that one. Fuel nation. Popping around the $6.35 high for March 21. That had 900,000 shares. Got into it on Friday with 500,000 shares today. Pulling back with 262,000 shares. First solar. Also trying to get out of a deep, dark depression. 3 million shares on February 25th at 55.38. So on Friday, 1.33 million shares today. Just 800,000 shares as we go back up into this line of resistance, which is actually one of several gaps down. This gap down is from the 6th of June, 2018. That had 12 million shares so incredibly, incredibly light volume for most of these gas log. I've been waiting for these to be a great buy. Almost all these natural gas liquefying companies should be doing much, much better than they are. I'm not exactly sure why they're not doing as well as they are, but it certainly looks like around this 1575 areas some support. You're down today on just 107,000 shares so far. As we talked about earnings coming up from Goldman Sachs or if I was in New York and part of the cult, I would say the Goldman Sachs. Like there are many Goldman Sachs. I don't know why they say that, but they do. 206.45 on March 19th for the Goldman Sachs. That had, let's call it 3.3 million shares. Got into it on Friday with 2.5 million shares. And today just doing about 1.2 million shares with what we have left. Hour and 13 minutes left to go. Just not much happening. Okay. Guidewire software testing this $100 level out. It spiked it on March 7th. Instantly gave it up back to 90 bucks. Gain back. Now it's gotten all the way back. That day you had 6.4 million shares. So last Wednesday what? Million shares last Thursday. 1.6 million shares. Friday 700,000 shares. Today just 310,000 shares as you bucking that $100 high. To Hyatt Hotels. It's up there, but no real signal. But through those double highs to see what else we have out here. Okay, HD supply holdings. Yeah, that's not that much of a difference. We'll go on. See what else we have. I didn't know that company was still in business. And Hovini and must have done a reverse split. I need to take care of that one. Okay. What else we have HP, homework and pain. Testing its recent high at $50.49. That's a February 20th high HP is the signal. Nothing to do with Hewlett Packard. Anyway, 1.4 million shares. It's into that today with 1 million shares. That could be worse. But certainly no sign of strength hitting that. And what else do we have? IDEX Pharmaceuticals. I had a high on September 21st of last year. 157.41. 500,000 shares. Last three days and IDEX. 264,000 shares. Friday, 176,000 shares. Today is 116,000 shares as we buck that high. Now this one looks like it's all kinds of weak. And I don't know if we're waiting for some information or FDA approval. You really need to dig into those biotechs on what's coming on the news. But the chart looks horrific. Let's see what else had. We're talking about international paper as the canary in the coal mine for the economy. We've seen this go into two highs with about 4 million shares. Got into that four days ago on April 3rd. With 3 million shares. Friday we had 2.8 million shares. Today it's 910,000 shares. So whichever way this market breaks, my guess it's going to be rather vicious and quick. And maybe it takes until Friday to get that happening. But again, just a lot of stocks out here testing previous highs with light volume. ITT, November 2nd, $61.40. Since spike the high, 1.8 million shares last three days in this one as we've challenged that high. 644,000 shares. 374,000 shares. 414,000 shares today. That's, of course, against that 1.8 billion share high. But that doesn't matter. This isn't the volume up. Isn't any volume down? It's time to put it on your hands. Now you get a signal. We'll be back in a minute. The number one market timer in the nation for the S&P 500 for the last 12, 6 and 3 months. Timer digest also ranks me as the number one market timer for gold as well.

While originally hand-drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s, Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later, Basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave sequence.

And we're going to take a look at IWO, which is the iShares Russell 2000 Growth Index Fund. Just looking at the volumes compared to March 4th, at 202.97, we had 1.2 million shares. On Friday, 455,000 shares. Today, just 245,000 shares. So again, the warning for the market is always don't be short of quiet market. And without any signal, any volume off the top, any break of some kind of trend line, whatever you're using, it's best to wait for the signal instead of anticipate it in these ideas. Maxim, integrated products. There's another one of the stocks in the SMH sector anyway. MXIM, the symbol for that one. December 3rd, $57.24, 5.7 million shares. Now we got into that with 2.6 million shares on January 25th. 1.3 million shares on February 25th. What's that? January 25th. Then February 25th. Now on Friday, 1.2 million shares. Today, just 930,000 shares so far. As we have gone above that previous high. So the next thing you want to watch is on a longer term on this one is if it gets into this gap at about $59, the volume remains absolutely infinitesimal. Some of these stocks are shorting up to be shorted. And this one go about $59, almost instantly do about $55. So then you could get a fairly decent turnaround on some of these. But again, no signal until we start seeing some of these stocks bust below the 9-day moving average on the downside after they've gone above it, gone below it, and gone back above it now. You need one more dip to set the hook. As always, sell when you can, not when you have to. We'll see you here tomorrow. Same bat channel. Same bat.

Hi everyone and welcome. My name is Dr. Laura Portales and I'm going to be taking you through these videos for the course managing people and this video in particular is on Unit 1. So we will be doing an overview of some of the important concepts and the study guide as we work throughout this video. So let's go ahead and get started. Our course managing people is structured into 8 units and in this video we're going to be talking about individual behavior which is Unit 1 and then in later videos we'll be addressing motivation, business communication, managing human capital, leadership, managing groups and teams, create a winning organizational culture and power politics and change. On this slide we have the unit learning objectives and learning objectives are really important because all of the content that you've learned in this unit are related back to these learning objectives. Also the other thing that's really important is that learning objectives are ultimately tied to the practice exam that you'll be taking as well as the final exam. As you go through you just want to make sure once you finish a unit that you feel very confident that you've met all of these learning objectives and that will help prepare you for the practice exam. Let's now take a look at the vocabulary that we will be addressing in this unit, Unit 1. We're going to look at the meaning of organizational commitment, job satisfaction, attitudes, values and personality. We'll also look at organizational citizenship behaviors, job performance, absenteeism and turnover. We'll be talking about person job fit and person organizational fit. We'll discuss the POLC framework and a variety of decision-making models including the rational model, the bounded rational model, intuitive decision-making model and the creative decision-making model. We'll also talk about the difference between program decisions and non-program decisions. On this slide we're going to take a look at an overview of the topics that we'll be discussing in Unit 1. So the first is attitudes and attributes, workplace behavior. We'll talk a bit about job satisfaction and what makes a job satisfying. We'll talk about person job fit, person organization fit, factors for job satisfaction, as well as decision-making. Our first topic in this unit is attitudes and attributes. So let's talk a little bit about what we talked about and what you learned about in Unit 1. So the first thing that's important to recognize is the impact of personality on workplace behavior. So personality are certain traits that explain or predict our behavior and we all have a personality and the personality traits that we have ultimately define us in a lot of ways about how we interact with people, how we interact at work, our levels of motivation and so forth. So one of the things that contributes a lot to our personality is our values and values are those things that are important to us. So for example a value may be honesty, cleanliness, anything like that. So our values oftentimes impact our personality and our personality traits. Our attitudes on the other hand are our opinions about people, things and situations and of course our values and our personality definitely affect our attitude about things. So when we look at that and we look at the idea of job satisfaction, job satisfaction is defined as the feeling that people have toward their job. So of course most of us strive to have a high job satisfaction so we really like and have good feelings about our job. A lot of times this can be determined by our personality, our values and our attitudes. Another thing that those things can impact is our organizational commitment and our organizational commitment relates to the emotional attachment that we have toward our place of work. So as you can imagine if our values for example align really well with our organization's values then we probably have a positive feeling about our organization. So the important thing to remember about these is that they're all intertwined and they all impact each other especially when we think about managing people at the places we work. One thing that's interesting to take a look at in terms of personality is the idea of nurture factors and nature factors. So nature factors are those things that we're just born with. So there are some parts of our personality that we just have. It's innate within us from the time we were very little. So that definitely impacts personality but so does nurture factors and these are the experiences that we have. So it could be past experiences, our relationship family, family values, our upping and all of these things. So those nature factors combine with the nurture factors ultimately to make us who we are in terms of our personality. Now that we've looked a bit at personality and the meaning of personality we can then look at workplace behavior and we can begin to make some inferences about how our values and our personality ultimately impact our behavior when we're at work. So let's first look at job performance. Job performance refers to how well we do our job and our general mental ability to be able to be successful at the work that we do. There are a lot of things that can impact our job performance. For example, if we're really stressed or we have things going on at home that are challenging of course our job performance may suffer a little bit but overall job performance refers to how well we do our job with stress and other factors that can impact our performance at work. We can also look at the concept of organizational citizenship behavior and this is a type of behavior that would be considered positive in that people are motivated to help others. They want to do the right thing for the organization. They care about the people that they work with and as you can imagine our personality definitely impacts the level of organizational citizenship behaviors ultimately that we display. One of the impacts when people are not happy at work or their performance isn't what it should be is absenteeism and turnover. Absenteeism is essentially an unplanned absence so it means that someone calls in to work and and they're not whereas turnover is a little bit more extreme turnover is when someone leaves an organization. So an important thing to remember from a managerial perspective is that absenteeism and we're both both cost companies an awful lot of money because it's then lost productivity and in the case of turnover it means that we have to find someone to replace the person that's left our organization and that takes time and money away from other things that we could be doing. So it's in our best interest when we think about managing people to try to limit the amount of turnover and absenteeism that we see in our workplaces. Related to our last topic there is a chart here that addresses the factors that we just discussed from job performance to citizenship and absenteeism and turnover and it's important to remember that turnover sometimes happens due to poor performance on the part of the employee. It can be stress a lot of a lot of factors that occur there could just be that someone got a better opportunity. Absenteeism sometimes we see employees have health problems or they have challenges with work-life balance or things that do cause them to to miss days at work and those would be unscheduled days of course or unscheduled absences I should say. And then our citizenship often is impacted by how we're treated at work our sense of fairness whether we're being treated fairly of course our personality and also our positivity toward work.  Next we're going to look at job satisfaction and there are many factors that determine whether or not someone is satisfied at work but these are the two that we're going to focus on for now. So the first is a person job fit and this basically refers to the relationship of an individual's characteristics and the relationship of that to the jobs or the tasks that they're performing. So when we look at a good or a positive person job fit usually people are more satisfied because their skills and abilities fit the job that they're actually doing. Now we'll talk a little bit about when a fit isn't good and how that can cause motivation issues a little bit later. Related to person job fit is the idea of demand abilities and demand abilities includes things like employee knowledge and skills and abilities ultimately that match the job. When we talk about supply value fit as it relates to person job fit this is when an employee's needs desires or preferences are met by their job which of course is a positive thing. And when we look at job satisfaction as a whole when someone doesn't have a fit for demand abilities let's say they lack the skills to be successful at their job clearly that isn't a very good person job fit. So as managers we always want to make sure that we find the person job fit that is appropriate for not only the job but for the individuals that we are working with. Now when we look at person organization fit we're looking at compatibility between individuals and the organization itself. So when we think about our values the things that we find important if we work for an organization that holds those same values we're much more likely to be motivated working for that company. So we can look at a supplementary fit and this occurs when someone possesses attributes and abilities that are similar to others in the organization and a complementary fit is when someone has attributes that are different than others in the organization and they fill a needed gap within the organization. So when we look at person organization fit we want to have some supplementary fit but we also want some complementary fit because we want some of those gaps of skills and gaps of knowledge to be filled within the positions we hire. Another important point to make about job satisfaction is that we have several generations working together in the workforce more so than we ever have before and as managers we want to think about how each group how each age group or generational group has been impacted by things like economic events, political conditions and a social upbringing. So because of this because of these differences among the generations oftentimes we'll find that people have very different needs as far as what they expect or want out of it. So to motivate people and we'll talk about this in a little bit in this unit to motivate people we want to make sure that we're motivating them based on the age and other demographic characteristics that we'll talk. So every generation has an idea of what job satisfaction is and we want to as managers try to meet them wherever possible to provide that job satisfaction for them. One of the core concepts in this unit is the idea of the POLC framework and this is a framework from managers that can help us better understand how managers ultimately need to do their jobs. So this stands for planning, organizing, leading and controlling and each of these functions of management are equally important to have a successful organization. So planning entails things like goal setting, making decisions and ultimately looking toward the future and how we want the future to be and planning for that. Organizing looks at how we will actually achieve those goals that we set in the planning phase, how we're going to divide work, how resources are going to be divided in order to meet the goals that we've set for us. The leading element of the POLC, how do you motivate people to try to reach those goals that you get? How do you entice them to skills and do their job well? And that's there are entire classes on the concept of leadership, but for our purposes for this class, just be aware that leadership is really the focus of how do you motivate someone and understand them enough so that you can motivate them in the way that they want to be motivated to do their job. Controlling is the last of the POLC framework and it involves reviewing processes. So you've planned, you've organized, now you're going to look at the plans that you've made and see if they're working or not. And if they're not, then you'll make adjustments to those plans or the way you're going about achieving them. And we call that corrective action. So the controlling phase is the last one, but then it can put us back into the management framework cycle back into planning. As we see, maybe things aren't working as well as we expected. So we plan and we make some new changes and then the cycle continues. So when you think about the POLC framework, it's just important to note that these are the main categories of duties that managers are responsible for. And just about every duty a manager does put in in one of these areas ultimately. One of the major aspects of the POLC framework is decision making and how we go about making good decisions as managers. And there are two main types of decisions that we'll need to make. The first is a program decision. And this is a decision that we make probably on a day-to-day basis. There are no major consequences if we make the wrong one and think of them as everyday type decisions, such as what you're going to work, signing off on forms that you need to sign off on these types of things. Non-programmed decisions are those types of decisions that tend to be more time-consuming. They're non-routine and we really need to think a lot about those decisions before we make them because they could be costly decisions both in financial resources but also in time. So we want to make sure that we make the right decision. Within non-programmed decisions, we have a few models we can use to help us with decision making. And the first one is the rational decision-making model. And we'll look at this on the next slide, but this lists formal steps to take when you're making a decision and can be really valuable if it is a decision that isn't going to cost a lot of money or a lot of time. Our second type of non-programmed decision is the bounded rational model. And this is where we look at thousands of possible choices. And we kind of have an idea of what choices we want to go with. So really, we only need to decide between maybe two or three choices. And in our study guide, the example given here was choosing a new cell phone. You probably have a particular carrier that you like and a particular brand that you like. So you're not really researching a hundred different cell phone models. You probably have it narrowed down to three because you sort of know what you want in terms of the choices in the branding. The intuitive decision making model is one that managers use when they have extensive experience training and knowledge. And it's a specific process that a manager would go through in order to make a decision based on what they know and the experiences that they've had. The creative decision making model is sometimes useful if we are trying to come up with a variety of new ideas, such as new products that we want to sell, or different pricing strategies, and so forth. So the creative decision making model generally requires a lot of brainstorming and a lot of information gathered and a lot of that creative thinking in order to apply that model. So next, let's look a little bit closer at the rational decision making model. The rational decision making model is usually used for non-programmed decisions. And there are several steps in this model that you want to apply to make the model ultimately effective. So the first thing that you'll do when using this model is identify the problem. What is it that you're trying to solve with this decision that you're going to make? And then the second step is to establish your decision criteria. What is important to you? How are you going to go about actually making the decision? Are there some things that are more important than others that you need to focus on? So this is where you would ultimately establish that career, which will help you later on when you have all these choices and need to actually make the decision. So the next will generate the alternatives. So you'll come up with all the possible alternatives that ultimately solve the problem. And then when we evaluate the alternatives, we're going to go back to that decision criteria and the waiting of that decision criteria to apply some sort of way that we can, as they say, compare apples to apples. So looking at that decision criteria and each of the alternatives and comparing it would be part of this step. Next, you would then choose the best alternative. And after that, you'll implement the decision that you've. Now, a very, very important step that many managers forget is this last step, which is evaluating the decision. So at the end, you want to be able to say, okay, that was a really good decision or, you know, we made that decision, but really we should have done this other decision or made changes to the way of our current decision. So whatever the case may be, we always want to go back and evaluate and make those small adjustments wherever possible so that we can make sure that it's the right decision. Another thing that we can look at with decision making is the level of decision. And we have three main levels of decisions. We have strategic decisions, tactical decisions, and operational decisions. Usually top management like CEOs make strategic decisions. Tactical decisions are those decisions that are focused around how we're actually going to go about doing something. And those are usually made by managers. And then operational decisions ultimately are focused on employees and how employees might go about organizing their work, how they should communicate, and that type of thing. So now let's look at our conclusion. And then we'll also talk about what's next. Let's take a final look at the topics that we discussed and how they relate to the learning objectives that we talked about at the beginning of this unit. We talked about individual attributes such as values, personality, and individual perspectives and how those impact the workplace. We also talked about the individual attributes and how those individual attributes affect work behavior. We talked about person-job fit and person-organizational fit and how those impact behaviors when people are at work. And then we also looked at decision-making models in terms of the POLC model and some of the other methods like the rational decision-making model. Let's take a look now at what's next. To prepare you for the practice exam, I definitely recommend that you do another review of the material, maybe especially some of the material that you had some challenges with. Once you review that material, you should be all set to take the practice exam and I wish you the best of luck.


Could New Genes overtake BTS in BLACKPINK as the most popular K-pop group in the Western world ever? Let's talk about it. Yeah, this is going viral right now. The headline reads, New Genes have secured their place in international music history by becoming the first Asian girl group to chart three songs simultaneously on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. And only the Pussycat Dolls, EnVogue, and the Shangri-La's, which is like from way back in the day, have ever done it. It's very rare for an Asian group to do this, Andrew, because international music charts is more Western-centric. First time ever, three songs at once, guys. We got to talk about this. I know a lot of people out there are big fans of New Genes. I actually like some of their songs and you know us. We're not the hugest K-pop fans, but we keep up with it and I do appreciate it. But I don't know, New Genes is kind of my group, man. Yeah, yeah, make sure you like, subscribe, turn on your notifications, guys. Like we said, we are not subject matter experts on K-pop at all. But I've got to say that new songs shoot a super shy Andrew is probably, in my opinion, going to be the biggest crossover hit from K-pop, at least the R&B that I've personally ever seen in my entire life. You know what it is? It's because they said super shy, super, super shy and super shy, super. OK, anyways, guys, let's get into it. Please let us know in the comments down below what makes New Genes so popular and so appealing to the Western world. Is it just it's just over time that there's going to be a K-pop group that really breaks through or is this not fully a breakthrough yet? Yeah, well, we got to talk about the checklist of what it takes for an Eastern group to cross over to the West. Anyway, let's just get into some comments real quick. Somebody said, yo, that's wild. I never see any of the girls in New Genes wearing jeans. That's kind of a funny comment. Somebody said, sorry to say, but super shy and ETA are not as good as their previous songs, Cookies, Hype Boy, OMG and Ditto. Now, this turned into a little bit of an argument, Andrew. Some of the older New Genes fans are saying that their new songs sound too American to appeal to them, and it sounds less and less like K-pop. But conversely, that's what is allowing songs like Super Shy and ETA to break the Western chart. Yeah, I mean, I would say even based off the titles of these songs, they could be American songs.  Like, I mean, does this happen with any artist, Andrew that has an original sound, whether it's like Drake being mixtape Drake and then turning into more like club music? You know what I mean? Like J Cole starting on as mixtapes and then he was making all the, you know, more emo rap. As a non super deep K-pop fan, I look at it like, man, they just crank out a K-pop group that can appeal to everybody. You know what I mean? And like, there is a lot of thought process and a lot of training that does go into forming these groups and branding these groups. So I think they're doing an amazing job with New Genes. Obviously BTS had something in Blackpink had something in and they all kind of have their different appeal. I think it's to a lot of the same market, but it's like for different tastes. And they kind of build on it, right? And I think the barriers to entry, like drop down lower and lower every generation, because I believe we are in the fifth generation of K-pop groups now. Fourth generation was BTS and Blackpink. Andrew, of course, there was some arguing and turning into blinks versus bunnies. Bunnies is the New Genes fandom. Blinks is for Blackpink. I guess they like beef really hard. And this is one of the characteristics of Internet K-pop niche fandoms. They're like, they almost like go to war against each other. I wonder if people can be fans of both and then argue with each other and get heated whenever it feels divisive. Anyways, guys, David, real quick, what are some of the reasons why New Genes is so popular right now? Like, what are what are people saying? Like, how do people describe New Genes? OK, so I had to do some research. Like I said, guys, let me know if you agree, disagree with me or you have some stuff to supplement. I'm sure you guys are much more. Some of you guys at least know way more than me about this. It sounds sort of like H&M background music because there's a lot of like empty lo-fi. Somebody said UK garage influenced high hats, fast tempo. So basically they keep that sound throughout their tracks, especially their newer tracks. And that's what it almost made super shy to me sound like Doja Cat. Yeah. So what I notice is another reason is that they also like don't also sing too hard that they'll go into some whispers and almost some mumbles, which is very trendy right now. It sounds like they're not singing too hard versus the kind of classic big vocal K-pop, big sound like almost like like arena arena status sound. You know what I mean? The big runs and the big like almost like stadium status. And I think that that's why super shy reminds me so much of Doja Cat because she doesn't do that either. Right. I think the truth is under New Genes. And I'm going to compare it with twice in a second. Guys, you guys couldn't believe that we're analyzing this. They shoot a lot of their new music videos in America and the music sounds Western, right? I have noticed that that there is a lot of American people in their videos like white black people. Like they kind of put themselves in the context of LA. And I believe some of the New Genes people actually live for a number of years in Australia or New Zealand. Yeah. There's like a UK Aussie vibe a little bit, right? Their fluency is very high, at least for I know a couple of the members can basically can speak it natively. Yeah. Somebody says they have a funky unique dance styles that are easy to mimic, but also look different than other K-pop groups.  I'm not saying this true, but on the downside that it makes it feel robotic or a Vocaloid like they feel way more like loose when they perform, they don't have to be like a hundred percent perfect army in sync. Like they don't need to be that militant in terms of like people can dance a little bit offbeat like in the choreography just to give it like that more organic vibe. Yeah. People are saying that it just New Genes really appeals to non K-pop fans because it almost has some of that 88 rising hipster Asian American pop appeal.  They take some of 88 rising steam. Yeah. Yeah. I think that they'd be the K-pop group that appeals to the 88 rising crowd crowd. Let's move on on to twice. Andrew, twice is a very interesting group because it's a little bit older than New Genes, right? And they also have like a Y2K year 2000 aesthetic both in their music videos as well as the music but a little bit different. And it's interesting because they have nine members, three of which are native Japanese. So actually they sing a lot of lyrics in Japanese as well as they have songs that are completely in Japanese. So do you think this is the most Japanese K-pop group in the sense that part of their appeal is that it's going to feed into the weeb culture? Obviously Japan's market who wants to hear like a K-pop group that can speak some Japanese. So I heard that prior to this in the K-pop industry in South Korea, they had tried to make a crossover with the J-pop market and it did not work until five years ago with twice. It's been the first time they've been able to be the biggest K-pop group in Japan. Yeah. But it makes sense, right? I guess Blackpink also like Lisa and other people are really fluent in English. And that's a huge part of what allowed Blackpink to enter the English-speaking market, right? I mean, I think a lot of Twice's music kind of sounds like some Japanese R&B pop to me, which is like very much influenced, Andrew, by Will Smith's like Men in Black from 1997. That sort of like sound is like really, really big. And yeah, they just got they're both groovy, though. Both New Genes and Twice are groovy. I think New Genes is even more on trend in 2023. But I think they're both doing something really interesting. And these were the two biggest groups, Andrew, after BTS and Blackpink. Wow. I want to ask, what do you think? So obviously, like even the Wonder Girls, a lot of Asia, the K-pop female groups have charted before.  But I think because BTS is males and they act different than the Western male, that it's always so controversial every time BTS steps on an American stage. Right, because people are like all even in Latin America, some of the media went against them.   Well, they all look the same. But I feel like when it's a female group, and obviously this is like a difference of how Asian female and Asian men are viewed where it's like Asian females, they act more like how a lot of global men would want females to act. So in a way, it's more universal. So in a way, you're talking about the flowery-ness of both the boy and the girl groups, but flowery girls. It's almost like double femininity. Exactly. I would argue that BTS's impact, the change they made was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, out of any K-pop group ever. But I can see more people accepting like female K-pop groups as like, you know, their own. You know what was interesting? I was doing some research for this video and people were saying that male groups survive on ultra hardcore niche cult fanbases where female groups rely on the general public, even in South Korea. Like they appeal to, they play differently. Yeah, because guys are never going to follow BTS. You know what I mean? It's true, man, because yeah, BTS is basically more polarizing is what I'm saying. Right. Um, interestingly enough, Andrew, speaking about flowery-ness, there is a Korean, Japanese and mixed rap group not twice called XG right now. And they've been dropping a lot of ciphers. Oh, and like hardcore rap ciphers where one of the rappers is in Japanese female and one of them is a female Korean rapper. There is a group called G. Idle, Andrew. That reminds me of some pop punk, like Avril Lavigne influences, same with a group called Dreamcatcher. There is a group called Laceraphim that sounds way more like urban hip hop influence. Red Velvet sounds more EDM based as well as the boy band Stray Kids, TXT. This reminds me of the sound that like C-pop is trying to copy right now where it's kind of like really like hard, dark, kind of some dark themes in the music videos, but it's still pop music. There's a group called IVE that sounds like standard K-pop music. There's a group Andrew called Itzy that has an Indian girl and a Russian speaker in it too. So they're kind of getting like multinational with it. Wow, man.  They got a lot of different groups out there. I like the angles. What do you think about how it's like diversifying? And it's almost like there's a K-pop group that's influenced by an additional subculture for like every crowd. I mean, I think they look at the talent pool that comes in and they see the like, oh, wow, this person and this person could pair up and that would be really interesting. And it's almost like you're cooking a dish, right? You get all these different ingredients, these people who want to enter the K-pop industry, whether they're from another country or not. And then you just look at it and you're like, oh, what can I make with this? Does it remind you of rap music? You know how nowadays in 2023, there's like emo rap. There's like goth rap. There's stadium rap. There's obviously a boom bap, a hardcore rap. There's so many subgenres within. I mean, it's a little different. That's like if all the different types of rap all came out of one singular city, though. Right. Versus like K-pop, it comes out of essentially one city. So essentially, right? And then so it's like there. That's why it's like a kitchen that can cook all different types of dishes versus, you know, going to a neighborhood or a plaza that has different restaurants of different cuisines. It's like one restaurant. Maybe I don't want to say one cake factory, Andrew. They got rasta pasta and they got Mandarin salad. All right. Sorry. Sorry. Let me. It's like a food court. It's like one mall. I don't want to say they're all the same restaurant. Yeah. Anyway, guys, what do you think of our K-pop breakdown? Like I said, I don't know everything. I probably got some stuff wrong, but let me know in the comments section below some final thoughts that I have. Andrew, I think twice. I think the music from New Genes more appeals to me sonically. But I think twice with the Korean-Japanese angle is pretty cool because it kind of reminds me of was that co or which song was it? Where they had Keith Ape and co and Keith Ape. Yeah, it was it. It's Jima. I think that was a Jima. All right. One of those songs. Yeah. You know how what I'm saying? Like I think that that's pretty interesting. Do you think that you will see like half Mandarin, half Korean K-pop? Because I think that the Japanese language and the Korean language, they do sound more similar and also dramatically. It's more the same. It's non-tonal. But could you see them chase that market? I mean, pop culturally wise, obviously it makes sense that Koreans and Japanese are closer together as definitely as far as the pop culture goes. No, no, it's true that their tastes are different, but more similar. I think China is just like way different. The both. Yeah, it is different. And then also will we see half Mandarin, half Korean, a big man, half Mando, half Korean pop group? They tried to do it back in the day with XOM. And I believe that's what Chris Woo came out of. I don't doubt that they're trying to do it. But I don't know if it's popped off yet. Right. You know, what do you think of the K-pop fanbases almost being like some Philadelphia sports fans and willing to just like duke it out? I don't know if I ever seen anything like it. No, I don't know. I think it's on the Internet because I'm like, I'm pretty sure they could like.  Well, even if they're arguing online, maybe they also are fans of each other, too. But they just want to argue. I don't know. They want to be tribal in the moment. Let me know. I'm not on those message boards. So I don't know actually how divisive K-pop groups are. What do you think of this accusation? This came from an American music Reddit forum saying K-pop is just 90s and 2000s and 2010s era R&B repackaged in a new language and generation. Now, I think that's too simplistic, man. I actually don't agree with that. I used to say that 10 years ago about I can see why on the surface level, you might think I think I think eight years ago, that was more true. I don't think I think K-pop runs that type of music now. And I do think they sprinkle in their own unique vibes. And I don't know. You just can't say it. I don't know. You just can't say that anymore. What do you think about this whole new wave that new genes could be starting, Andrew? K-pop that doesn't really sound like K-pop with heavy English hooks, all like maybe four out of five members are fluent in English. Is this good, bad? Are the old K-pop fans going to accept it? Or is it just opening it up to new Western audiences? What do you think? I think it's opening it up to new Western audiences. I think it's just expanding the market. Because think about it. If us as non-super huge K-pop fans, like new genes, that's a good sign because at least it might even capture more Asians first. But it doesn't sound like K-pop. But I like it. And it's going to appeal to all different types of people, even the non-K-pop fans. And the reason I'm saying it doesn't sound like K-pop is because the beat is much more minimalistic and there's not as many genre switch-ups. Whereas I guess typical standard K-pop could go through five genres. I'm not always into that big K-pop sound where they are on these huge sets and all this stuff. I don't love that personally. I can vibe out to new genes. I can just vibe. I think there will be plenty of K-pop that has that standard K-pop sound. David, you know, once people start being able to smoke two K-pop songs, you know what I mean? Like that kind of smoking music, that's going to open up the market too. Wow, I'm just letting you know. What do we think about C-pop and the status of Chinese music, Andrew? Obviously, we know that the Chinese music scene is way less Westernized. There's way less American-British influence than Japan and Korea. It's sort of like really still in the love-ballad stage. It's almost like Khalil Fong, you know what I mean? Or there's another guy called Crowd Lu. This is still sort of where it's at. People are still listening to old Jay Chow and Boba Shops from like 15 years ago. It just feels like the artists make a lot of money domestically, but nobody outside of China likes them. You know actually where I see it being at? Because there actually are some good artists. Sometimes I'll talk to an international student and they'll be like, oh, yeah, I'm listening to blah, blah, blah, like check out this song. And I'm like, oh, this song is really good. But you know what it is? The whole lifestyle and culture behind it is not there. Right, you're saying they can't sell the image? They're cool Chinese artists, but like a lot of Chinese Americans and even Chinese students out here, they're not like repping for them that hard. You know what I mean?  Not everybody's talking about it. And it's nobody outside of the Chinese market, right? China, or Taiwan, or Singapore. I just think like maybe it didn't infect the Chinese youth as much so that the Chinese youth is not like acting like C-pop artists, you know what I mean? Once kids start taking on that identity, then it becomes this whole scene. I would say Jackson Wang is the only Chinese pop artist that I feel like it sounds competitive or more similar to Korean music, but obviously he was trained in Korea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, people know about Jackson Wang. He's probably the most crossover artist right now. What do we think? Finally, Andrew, I just want to compare this with the Spanish market. There's 600 million Spanish speakers, you know, due to Spain as well as colonization. There's about 80 million Korean speakers globally, but 26 of that 80 million are in North Korea. That leaves about 54 million in terms of a viable native audience for music. There's 1.3 billion Mandarin speakers, but like we said that, you know, the tastes and the cultural leanings right now are just way too traditional or just differently. And yeah, it's just an interesting place where we're at right now, right? New Jeans, top three in the top 100, Andrew. Dude, do they continue? I think so. I think so, especially if they can have verses in English and verses in, like obviously the hoax right now are in English. They're just going to get some big American features. They're going to be good. All right, everybody, let us know in the comments down below what you think about New Jeans. You are watching the hot pop boy. Oh, who's another K-pop group that's coming up that we might like or that you like that sounds a little bit different. I'd be interested to check them out. So let me know in the comments down below and until next time, we out. Peace.


How to change the blade on a DeWalt miter saw. Ola Woodworkers, Paul Carson here, a small workshop guy. Make sure it is unplugged. Find the tool that came with your miter saw. Raise the handle up, forth, raise the guard up. Unscrew this bolt right here by going counterclockwise. After you have loosened that bolt and don't take it all the way out, just loosen it far enough to hold this guard up. Let me demonstrate. Now this guard right here that is around that bolt has to go up. You might have to give it some encouragement, but in that case I just pushed it up. What that did was it gave us access to the arbor. So now we're just going to loosen this bolt and the arbor nut that holds the blade in place. The key thing to learn is that when you loosen this one it's a reverse tread. So instead of loosening it by going counterclockwise, you loosen it by going clockwise. You will want to lock the blade in place by holding a blade lock that's on the other side of this blade. So loosen this and take it all the way out by going clockwise.  In this case you tighten it by going counterclockwise.  So once you have that back over that bolt then just tighten that bolt back up. In this case you tighten it by going clockwise. Screw that all the way back in, lower it, check it, make sure it's all the way you want it, and that's how you change a blade in a DeWalt DW715 miter saw. The same method is probably true for almost all DeWalt miter saws. Small workshop guy hoping you find this helpful. Stay safe in your workshop. See you next video.


Hey What about these people right here like they don't work?     I got a woman basketball Brandy What's up, bro? He played too, but now you're in football team. It's my nigga man. Hey man.
