For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department, you will travel step by step on the side of the law through an actual case from official police files. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Tuesday, October 6th. It was cool in Los Angeles. We're working a day watch out of robbery detail. My partner's Ben Romero. The boss is Captain Ed Walker. My name's Friday. I was on the way back from Calvary Cemetery. It was 1145 a.m. when I got to room 27A. Robbery detail. Pretty good turnout. Too sorry I couldn't make it. One of us had to be in court. Yeah.  Yeah. Martin had a lot of friends. It was a good cop. You see his black? Yeah. Well, that took it hard again. Pretty hard, yeah. You buy ready for lunch? I better make up the logbook first, man. We're a little behind. Yeah, all right. Hi, Stu. Ben, what's with you? Oh, same old thing. Say, what's the DR number on that job we handled yesterday? Hmm? The grocery store thing? You know, we showed those mug shots to the victims. You remember the DR number? Oh, yeah, yeah. I got it here. 3-7-4-3-3-2-3-2. Thanks. My name's Frank Cheney. Just been paroled from Folsom. Can you tell me where I registered? Yeah. I'll get one of the men from the rehabilitation detail. He'll take care of it. Thanks. Excuse me, Ben. Oh, yeah. Bossford. Shiny Bossford? Yeah. Got a minute? Something for you, man. I'll be right back. Did you contact the witnesses in this report here? Let me see. This one. Oh, yeah, yeah. I took care of it. I'll always at the desk once it registers next time. Hmm. Okay. Excuse me, Ramel. Yeah. Hi. You want to register? Yeah. My name's Frank Cheney. Okay. Dress? 218 Belgrade. Belgrade. Where you been? Folsom. Get out Saturday. Okay. What's your full form? Robbery. First degree. How much do you owe? It's served 18 years. I'm on life parol. What? Parol. Okay. Hey, thanks, Jim. Want to tell Rambo we're out for seven? We'll wait a couple minutes, huh? You see the guy at the desk? The one with Bossford. Yeah, he's an ex-con, right? Frank Cheney. 1931. Jack Taylor and I had him. First big one we ever drew. Oh, that's so. Did you ever hear of him? You used to call him a gentleman bandit? 1931, Claude. That's 18 years ago. Cheney was the biggest of him. Came from a wealthy family, too. A father's a millionaire. You sent him up, huh? Send Quinton. Trying to break out with a partner here. His partner killed a trustee. Cheney was sent to Folsom. From a millionaire family. That's a query. How about that lunch, fellas? Yeah, let's go. Seems like it could have been yesterday. 1931. We grow old right along with the thieves, huh? Where we go? Federal buffet? Sorry with me. 18 years. Yeah. Sure goes by in a hurry. I wonder if Cheney thinks so. As far as day-to-day routine goes, police work is pretty much like any other job. To the rookie detective just starting in, there's new things to see, new things to learn. But five or six years on the detail and the job gets pretty ordinary. You see a lot of dirt, a lot of trouble and tragedy, and after a while you begin to wonder what all the glamour is about and the excitement that's supposed to go along with the job. The fall months went by pretty slow. On November 3rd, we closed a case against a gang and drugstore holdup men. In December, Ben's youngster fell off a fence and sprained his wrist. My uncle George from Renton, Washington, visited my mother and me in January. Stayed a couple of weeks. On January 28th, it rained. Ben and I checked into the office where we got a phone call from Lieutenant Mort Geer of the San Diego Police Department. He gave us additional information on a finance company holdup which had been pulled in San Diego the day before. In the robbery, one bystander had been shot and killed and another one wounded by the two bandits. They also shot a police officer three times through the stomach when he tried to stop him. Next day, Sergeant Ormsby and McGuire from San Diego arrived and we helped him check the suspects through the stats office. A couple of bad ones, Joe. Both have guns and they use them. I don't have them got away in a car and the other one on foot. Is that right, McGuire? Yeah, a big one used a car. Well, size ought to help some. Say, 45 years old, right six foot one or two inches, weight 275, 85 pounds. Anybody get a look at the car, Ormsby? Blue Ford sedan, 1940 or 41 model. That's all we got. That's a rough one. After all the shooting, the witnesses didn't know what they saw. All mixed up. Well, how about the other one, the guy who got away on foot? He's a WMA about 50 years old, five feet eight, nine inches, 145, 55 pounds, where's Glasses? Yeah, we got that on the tele-times. That all? No, we traced from the Greyhound bus depot about six blocks in a holdup, changed his clothes in the washroom there, left behind a coat and a gun. Yeah. The coat was kind of give parolee some state pen. Check it through our crime lab. Same kind of suits they issued to all ex-cons. No make. At least you know one of them's an ex-con. How about that gun you found? It's a murder weapon. Our ballistics man went over it. No prints. Tried to trace a serial number. No record. CII and Sacramento's trying to run it down. Well, we got any hunches? A few. We're almost sure both of them have gone the route before. Pretty cool. Shot down three people, didn't bat an eye. How much did they take in the holdup? 11,000. Are your stats of us make around those descriptions yet? Yeah, this morning, Ornite's got the list of possibilities. They're pulling the mud costs now. I don't be wining enough about now. No, thanks. Hey, let's check. This is my callus. Go ahead and work. Oh, thanks. How's the wife, Ornite? Oh, fine, Van. She's expecting again. What are you going to do? Raising an army? Four kids? That's not so bad. McGuire's wife wants six. How about that, Mac? He's at five now. No point in quitting when you're ahead. Frank, you know a Russ Orange B and Tony McGuire, don't you? A San Diego PD? Yeah, sure, man. I'm going to ask you a question. Hi. Hi, Frank. Good to see you. Good. Just ready to call you. Got those mug shots together for you. I got them right here. Okay. There you are. This is back for Suspect One, list number two. Okay, Frank. We'll check them out with the witnesses. There's one mug there. Let me show you. Hey, listen. Here. It matches the description pretty close. Safe man, betrayed, but he can go any route. Name's Weber. First name? Stanley. Call him Turk, I think. Nickname. Know anything about it? Who's next cop? Ornite's being McGuire drove back to San Diego to show the mug shots to the hold-up witnesses and see if they could get an identification. Late the next afternoon, they called back to tell us that Stanley Turk Weber had definitely been identified from his mug shot by four of the five witnesses as one of the hold-up men. His partner remained unidentified. We called Turk Weber's parole officer, got all the available information on the suspect, including his latest address, an apartment house on North Alameda. Weber wasn't there. We talked with the apartment house manager and he told us that Turk hadn't been seen there since the day before the San Diego robbery and murder. We had a stakeout put on the apartment. Ben and I went back to the office and had the record bureau pull Weber's package. On his mama's sheet, Ben spotted a familiar name, Henry Garson, another ex-con, who was listed as one of Turk Weber's closest friends. We got a hold of Garson's parole officer. He told us Garson had had his parole transferred to San Diego, where he disappeared two weeks before he was wanted for violation of parole. We tried to check Weber through his relatives. We couldn't find any. But Henry Garson's report showed that he had a brother, Al, a dry cleaning shop down in Seal Beach. He had no criminal record. The next morning, we drove down to see him. Yeah, Henry came around last July. It's the last time I saw him. I want to borrow my car. You got any idea where he might be now? No. You're his brother. I don't know where he is. That's the truth. I don't want to know where he is. Was anyone with him when he came to see you last? You know who his friends are? Friends? No. Would you look at these pictures, please? See if you can identify any of them. Can't you talk to me later? It's not good for business. Having cops are on a shop. Who would you yell for if a shop was held up? I said get to doing it. Your brother's in trouble. We might stop him from getting in deeper. Hello, Mrs. Renner. Good morning, Al. Can I help you? No, I should go ahead and wait in the gentlemen's. No, that's all right. They're just waiting to get women. Can I help you? My husband's still a clean and present. Can you have that Tuesday? Tuesday, yeah, I'll do it. My flat jacket's clean and present. Can you put this on the stairs, please? Yeah, we'll take care of that. Tuesday, all right? Thanks, Mrs. Renner. I don't like to hold you up, Garson. Just a few more questions. All right. You said the last time your brother was here, he wanted to borrow your car. Is that right? That's right. Did you let him have it? I didn't have nothing. How about the red keepers?  If Henry's in trouble, let him take care of it. We've got troubles enough of our own. This is important, Garson. We've got to have your cooperation. Why me? Oh, Henry's no good. I admit it. He's still my brother. Yeah. You asked me to send him to jail? If he belongs there, yeah. Look, I don't want any trouble. Yeah, we'll be in. My mother lives in Santa Barbara. Just moved there. I got the address. Henry goes to see her every once in a while. When's the last time he saw her? Two weeks ago. I was there, too, and something else. What's that? Henry had a gun. 11 a.m. Tuesday, Ben and I drove back to the office and put in a call to the Santa Barbara Police Department. We asked him to put a stake out on the home of Henry Garson's mother and to notify us the minute Garson was apprehended. We contacted San Diego and told him what we'd found out. After that, we doubled back on Turk Weber. From one of our informants, we heard that Weber and Garson had gone into some kind of a business together. For a bank role, they'd succeeded in getting a loan from the second national bank out in Glendale. 1 p.m. We drove out and checked with the manager of the bank's loan department, Mr. Peabody. Here we are, officers. Stanley T. Weber and Henry Garson loan papers were signed over a month ago. What kind of a loan was it, people? Business loan. Garson and Weber came in with another man. They talked to our manager, Mr. Ascot. Excuse me. What business are they in? Trucking concern. They wanted the money to buy equipment for more trucks. How much money did they borrow? $4,500, usual terms. I guess you inquired into their background. Oh, yes, their whole financial background. Did you know that Garson and Weber are both ex-convicts? I beg your pardon? Did you know that both of them are ex-convicts? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake? Henry Garson, Stanley T. Weber? Yeah, that's right. What'd they offer for collateral? Well, they had some of their equipment, two trucks, and, of course, there was the co-signer. Who was that? The name's right here on the loan papers. That's it. Right here, co-signer Frank Cheney. 2.30 p.m. Ben and I checked back into the office and went down the hall to R&I. We pulled a package on Frank Bertram Cheney. White male American, five foot eight and a half inches, 152 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes. The record read like a dime novel. Almost 20 years before, Cheney had crashed into the headlines of Pacific Coast newspapers as the gentleman banned it. Maybe some of the news stories were exaggerated, but the record showed that he actually owned a yacht, three expensive cars, an apartment house. In spite of all this, he decided to settle for a career of robbery and murder. The age of 30 was the most sought-after man on the Pacific Coast. Finally, in 1931, after tracking him for a year and a half through more than a dozen armed robberies, Sergeant Staxter and Taylor of the Los Angeles Police Department brought him in. He served 18 years at San Quentin in the Folsom Penitentiaries, and then he won his parole at the age of 48. We checked his parole officer, and he had nothing to report against him. We checked back in at Robbery Detail and met with Captain Ed Walker. How about Cheney's friends, Weber and Garcin? Nothing yet? Another thing, Skipper, steak out still on Garcin's mother's place in San Diego, Weber's apartment still covered. You call San Diego about this, the Cheney angle? Yeah, we briefed him. They got all the mug shots down there. Weber's definitely been tagged as one of the men on that finance company job. I figured Garcin for the second, man, but none of the witnesses had picked out his mug shot.  Yeah, I did. He gave us Cheney's last address. Same as the one on his ex-con registration, but he's moved. Didn't notify the office. What does that leave you? Well, I talked to the manager at the apartment. He gave us a couple of addresses to run down. I guess we better start getting on it, huh? Yeah, yeah, let's get on it. Keep in touch. I'll notify if anything breaks here. Right. Just a minute. Rob Ray Walker. Well? Yeah, just a minute. You, Joe. Thank you. San Diego. Friday. Good. You got something? Listening to Drag Nets, the case history of a police investigation presented in the public interest by Fatima Cigarettes. If you smoke a long cigarette, you'll be in your interest to listen to a typical case history of a Fatima smoker. It's the case of Lee Silver, general assignment reporter on one of New York's greatest newspapers. You'll see his picture in leading magazines this week. And here is his actual signed statement. When you have to meet a news deadline, you work at a fast pace, smoke at a fast pace. That's why I smoke Fatima. They're extra mild. In my opinion, it's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. And more and more smokers are discovering this every day. The actual figures show Fatima has more than doubled its smokers coast to coast.  The king-size cigarette, which contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra mild. You will prefer Fatima's much different, much better flavor and aroma. You will agree. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. It's wise to smoke extra mild Fatima. The best of all, long cigarettes. Tuesday, January 31st, 4 p.m. In addition to the San Diego teletype, we got out a local broadcast and an APB on Frank Cheney. By 4.30, Ben and I had checked out the first of two addresses where Cheney's former landlady told us that he might be staying. It was a roaming house out on West Washington. The owner told us that Cheney had stayed at his place for a few days, but that had been more than two months before. He had no idea where the suspect might be. We then drove to the second address. It was an apartment house on West Stanford near Slosson. Manager's name was Mrs. Pritchard. Why, yes, I believe Mr. Mrs. Cheney at home. They've been in all day. What's your apartment is there in, ma'am? Number 7, straight down the hall on your right. Thank you. They may be having dinner now. Are they expecting you? Be all right, ma'am. Thank you. The apartment was deserted. We checked the bedroom and the kitchen. There were obvious signs of a fast getaway. On a card table in the living room, we found the remains of a quick dinner. Two places were set. One plate was almost cleaned, the other hardly touched. The coffee on the stove was still a little warm. We called the office and arranged for a steak out. Then we went back down the hall and talked to the manager again. They moved in about a month ago, sergeant. Looks like any other newly married couple. Did you notice if they had any visitors, Mrs. Project? Well, they might have, but I didn't notice. Did you notice anything odd about them at all? Only that one thing. Yes, ma'am. Mr. Cheney always seemed to have plenty of money. He put down two months right in advance. But he didn't seem to have a job. Yes, ma'am. Well, every morning he'd sleep late, but his wife was up at 8 o'clock to go to work. Where'd she work, you know? A company called Thompson and some other name. Offices are down on South Hope. Builders, I think. My phone. Excuse me. Yes, ma'am. Go right ahead. What? Yes, two police officers. Ms. Pritchard. No. Talk to you. Hello? Cheney? Yes, he hung up. An alert for Cheney and his wife was broadcast. With special attention for the south end of the city. The wife's name and description was added to the APB. The next morning, Ben and I located her place of employment. Thompson and Kilkenny, a big construction company. The office manager told us that three days before, Mrs. Cheney had resigned her job by letter. She asked that her final paycheck be sent to her mother and lived in Marysville, California. We contacted the Marysville Police Department immediately, and the home of Cheney's mother-in-law was placed under 24-hour surveillance. We now had more than a half a dozen stakeouts going. A week passed. Nothing. Cheney and his wife seemed to have dropped completely from sight. Wednesday, February 9th. We got a tip from the Santa Barbara Police that Cheney's friend, Henry Garson, was in Los Angeles working in an auction house in Wilshire Boulevard. We ran it down. Looks like a high-class place. They got a nice crowd, haven't they? You can't walk there? No, thanks. Would you like to see the manager, please? All right. Let me see. Oh, yes, over there by the claim desk. The man in the dark suit. Mr. Woolley. Thank you. Mr. Woolley? Yes? Police officers, sir. We'd like to check on a man who's supposed to be one of your employees. Oh, that's so. What's his name? Here's his picture. Can you identify him? Well, yes. It's Johnson, the new clerk. You want to talk to him? Yes, sir. All right. This way, he's back in the storeroom. Trouble? We'd like to talk to him. Yes, all right. Let's see. Oh, yes, there he is. Johnson. Oh, Johnson, would you come? Come on, Ben. Get running. What's it all about? Did he do something wrong? Yeah, he didn't get off when we asked him to. We drove Garson to Georgia Street receiving hospital, where he was treated for minor cuts and bruises. Then we took him back to the office in the interrogation room. We called San Diego and notified them of the arrest. From 10 o'clock that night until 10 the next morning, Captain Walker, Ben and I questioned Garson. He refused to admit that he even knew Frank Cheney or Turk Weber. By noon, he was pretty tired. So were we. At 12.05, a call came through from San Diego. On Friday, this is Russ Ormsby. Yeah, Russ. Friday. Yeah. Wednesday at 3.15 p.m. We got to the San Clemente turnoff and a few minutes later Ormsby and McGuire arrived from San Diego. We drove to the home of Weber's sister on South Orange Street and identified ourselves. She told us that Turk had been there that morning, but that he'd gone to the races at Del Mar for the afternoon. Did your brother say he was coming back? He said he might be back. He wasn't sure. Did he go to the racetrack alone? Yeah. Was he going to meet anyone there? I don't think so. He didn't mention it. He's driving a car. No, he took the bus to the track. I see. Where would he most likely go if he doesn't come back here? I don't know. Maybe back to LA, maybe San Diego. I don't know. Do you know if your brother Turk is going to make Frank Cheney? How could he? Turk says Cheney's up north someplace with his wife. He told me that this morning. Where up north? He didn't know. Mm-hmm. You and McGuire want to stake out here, Orbsby? Ben and I will hit the track. Yeah, okay. Look, I can't have cops here if Turk comes back. I think I framed him. You can get over it. You don't know Turk when he gets sorry. He goes out of his head. He'll kill me. Why worry, miss? Huh?  We got there just at the start of the 7th race. We had no idea whether the suspect was still there or not. We alerted the security police, gave them mug shots of Weber. Then we went to the public address booth in the clubhouse and talked to the man in charge. A few minutes later, the trap for Weber was set. T. Weber, please come to the public desk over the emergency phone call. Mr. Stanley, T. Weber, please... We waited. Ben stationed at the vantage point on one side of the booth, me on the other. Minutes passed. Weber didn't show. Ben caught my eye and shrugged his shoulders. Mr. Stanley T. Weber, please come to the public address booth over the emergency phone call. Mr. Stanley T. Weber, please come to the public address booth. The announcer was barely finished when I saw Ben motion. I looked and saw a large man heading up the cement ramp. When I got to the top, he turned to his right and headed straight for the public address booth. It was T. Weber.  What is this? You lousy cops. I'll have you busted for this.  What difference does it make sense to him? You'll never get him. You'll never get him in 20 years. Never get who? You know who, Chaney. He's too smart for you. You'll never get him not in 20 years. All right, we got you, Weber. Shake him, Ben. I'll shake you, copper. Watch it, Ben, look. That's it. Sure, a big bag. Yeah. What's that over there? That's all out of his pocket. It's like a tip sheet. Yeah. Yeah. Blue Boy's peerless selection for Thursday. Price, one dollar. Let me look at that a minute, can I? Yeah. Best picks. We can't lose. This is your lucky day. What's it prove? You gotta get his dollar back. Only the names were changed to protect the innocent. On June 19th, trial was held in Superior Court, city and county of San Diego, state of California, in a moment the results of that trial. It's amazing how many long cigarette smokers are changing to extra-mild Fatima. Here is the actual report. From concerts? Yes, more and more smokers every day are discovering that Fatima is the king-size cigarette that is extra-mild. Extra-mild, because it contains the finest Turkish and domestic tobaccos, superbly blended to make it extra-mild. To give it a much different, much better flavor and aroma. Enjoy extra-mild Fatima yourself. Best of all, long cigarettes. It's wise to smoke extra-mild Fatima. It's wise to smoke extra-mild Fatima. Music After identifying Frank Cheney as the man who did the shooting in the San Diego holdup and murder, Stanley T. Weber was tried and convicted of participation in the robbery and received a sentence of life imprisonment. Henry Garson was cleared of any complicity in the holdup killing, but he was returned to prison for violation of parole and for several burglaries in San Diego and Los Angeles. Both men are now serving their terms in the state penitentiary. Next week, Frank Cheney, the gentleman bandit. Part two. You have just heard Dragnet, a series of authentic cases from official files.

All it is is a Recording of the depth of market so you can see where they're bidding down here and where they're offering up here For example, it's just three elements. That's it. Okay. There's nothing more on the chart. So to cover this In a little more depth. Let's strip away all of the these three elements Okay, and just look at a candlestick chart Okay, here's a five-minute candlestick chart and We can start to understand, you know open high low and close of a of a specific time period in this case is five minutes And try to read the the price action and the order flow here Obviously, you know sell candle sell pressure It opened up here went up a little bit and then it dropped and then it kind of went a little bit higher and closed here That's what this five-minute candle represents open high low and close of that period But the problem with this candlestick here is there's all sorts of things that happened Within it that is completely opaque here. We have no idea for example Where the volume traded? What type of volume? Where in exactly when so We want access to that kind of information it offers us insight a lot of insight And we're making important financial trading decisions here. We need that insight Okay, so we were looking for that transparency. The first thing we want to see Is microstructure and we can easily see that by turning on the historical best bid and offer Okay, just this alone is Already quite helpful Okay, so why is that all right, so the The best offer is this red line and the green line is the best bid. It's just a recording of it. That's it Okay, the the the nice thing here though that we're seeing is and what it is displaying for us is Microstructure, okay, so what do I mean by microstructure? Well down here see this little double bottom down here Okay, we don't see that in the in the candlestick chart Okay, this is a pattern All right this pattern or this this microstructure area here was broken here. Okay, we we're gonna see What what occurred down here? We're gonna see a aggressive vine Okay, green dots pulling the market up out of this area and look at this little retest here Right back to where we broke from here and it continued on up Back to where it broke from up here in this structure. Okay, there's a bigger structure up here And we broke down below that we come back and test to where we broke from here And then we get another retest back down to this low okay, so Understanding these microstructures are our key and it's completely lacking in this candlestick chart The reason being is this all the data is aggregated in and within that five minute period Okay, so let's turn on the volume and and check out Exactly where the volume traded and what occurred here. Okay, so we can see that this quick move down Well, we see a lot of red dots pulling that market down Okay, and then in this area here Well, there's a lot of back and forth in a consolidated area and then we broke out here Okay, and we see green dots pulling the market up. Okay. These are aggressive buyers They're hitting the market buy button and pulling the market up. So let's zoom into that area and I want to show it to you Okay, so here's what occurred Let's make these dots a little bit bigger. Whoops. They hold on a minute here Not not quite getting the Setting that I want here Huh, okay, I know they've been playing around with this so Important to for me to get this correct Okay Yeah, because this is what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a distinction here and in bookmap displays it We see that You know, there's more selling here pulling that market down. We see more selling at these lower lows here, for example But this pattern was broken here I mean the order flow actually looks pretty good here for continuation to the downside, but we didn't get it Okay, the You know buyers started to step in here and we came back and up and tested the This is the microstructure element here that I'm talking about this area of consolidation here And then look look how we broke out here. Okay, nothing but buying. Okay pulling that market up So what does that look like? All right, so let's zoom in here a little bit closer. This is what it looks like Okay This is that historical best bid and offer. Okay, the red line is the best offer the green line is the best bid Okay, and then look at all the buying here. Okay looking at the ES is great because we see all sorts of transactions here and It's just so heavily traded and there's just so much liquidity great great stuff It's nice to always come back to the ES and take a look here Okay, so what are these green dots? Okay, these are the aggressive market buy orders They they they press the market buy button. They cross the spread. They paid up for it a tick To to get filled on the best offer here and they took liquidity off of the best offer. Okay, so It like in our educational course part one we go through sweeping of the book. Okay, it's an important phenomena to understand It's how the market usually moves from one structure to the next Usually with a pretty significant and quick break And a sweep of the book and all of the liquidity at these price levels Okay, and you'll just see nothing but buying pulling that market up similar very similar to this I mean there is some selling in here too Okay, but look at the selling. Okay, look at the the aggressive market sell button was hit here and Transactions occurred here on the best bid, but look at it compared to the the aggressive buying. Okay, the buyers are in control here All right, let's zoom into this area here because I want to show you How bookmap is displaying this information is very powerful We look at all of the Transactions here, but we can continue to zoom in here Okay, and as we continue to zoom in I'm pulling apart all of that trading activity and Now look here. We're down at micro second level. Okay, and we can continue on and look at nanosecond level here Okay, just Just and why do I want to look at nanosecond level? It's just to show you that we're recording at a very very precise level Every single market event that took place here. Okay, so we're looking at billions of seconds now down here in the timeline Okay, and we're recording all of that data every single event very precisely recorded Okay, so this is quite quite a powerful tool But as I zoom out, you know, we're not going to be consuming data at these Billions millions or even thousands of seconds. Okay We we're going to be consuming it at a much higher time frame All right, but as I zoom out We're compressing that timeline together and we're going to show this data as a bigger dot and there it is Okay, so that's the action that just occurred here very very quickly and we can we can see exactly what Constitutes this this dot here. Okay, what it's made up of if I use this data tip tool Hover over these areas here. We get the date the time What was on the ask here at this price level and the volume that traded so this dot is now representing? 94 contracts that traded Okay, so that's what occurred and that's what we're showing here With these two elements okay getting back into the bigger picture the two elements displayed on this chart by book map right now Okay, the historical best bid and offer Okay, and and then the The aggressor classification of volume Okay, now where this is going to give you an advantage over for example a footprint chart is that you're not going to see a lot of the micro structure Okay, because it's going to be aggregated within a bar So you're not going to know Exactly what occurred here that we broke out of a micro structure area here And we come back and retest here and we don't see any selling at these two little points here And we rotate higher and they continue to lift the offer with aggressive vine All right, so that's what we're looking at here with these two elements now Let's add that third element and we take off the candlestick chart and add the heat map Okay, so what is the heat map? Okay, well the heat map is Where they're bidding and offering okay in in the market so let's go to the current market And I see your question Tom. I'll get it get to it in just a second and the What we're looking at here in the current market in the ES right is The dome right here. Okay, so everything to the right of this vertical white line is current market Okay, I mean we do have some volume columns over here, but that's that's for the dome as well But this is your best bid and offer currently right here Okay, and in this this number here is the last traded volume All right Here's our price ladder and then here the the C O B column here that I'm displaying Okay, this is the best bid and offer right here. Okay, and then this is depth of liquidity a depth of market here our dome On the on the offer and then here on the bid Okay, if I zoom in a little bit closer, we can we can take a look at the more price levels here Okay, so hundreds of contracts are here, right? Look at the highest area of liquidity is down here. Okay, 723 Right. Well, that's represented here In the heat map. Okay, and you'll see like when these numbers change You'll see the heat map change color too. Okay, if you see high liquidity pop into the book Or get pulled Then you'll see that reflected not only in the numeric value, but you'll see it in the heat map Okay, so that's all we're all we're doing is just painting the liquidity in the dome into a heat map But the the magic really occurs here when we take that Heat map and project it on the chart historically. So now we have a visual representation of the liquidity historically Okay, so for example look what occurred here Okay, we came down into this area of high liquidity here, and they're actually pulling Okay, so these guys that were were here on the bid waiting to trade for quite a while Okay, and then when price came down, they said no, I don't want to trade any longer They pulled their high liquidity Okay, and then these guys down in this level here. They actually started to pull too Okay to me and this one's a little harder to judge and we can see it all the time in other examples, but Looks to me like this guy probably pulled here and then added down below here. Okay, so Anyway, we can start to identify the you know Specific players and how they are or what their intent is for trading in the market Okay, so we can start to put this whole auction together Okay, that's what really what we're looking at here is the auction. Okay where they're bidding and offering so You know look at this guy bid up here pretty aggressive, you know price went up and he's bidding at a higher level Price came back down into this area and then he pulled and then it went away and he got back in Okay, why would he do that? You know so maybe he's showing intent, but then when price comes down to test him He pulls his liquidity doesn't want to trade any longer, but then he jumps right back in Well, what he's doing or what traders are doing at this price level is They're holding their position in the queue okay in line and So they'll make the decision if they want to if they think this is a deal or not All right, so they're gonna get filled first before others if they choose to stay in the book so anyway all sorts of things to start to comprehend and put together and into the context of really the condition of the market right and understanding that context is what the book map allows you to do okay and Understanding that context at higher levels is what we go through in the advanced order flow webinars all right, so Yeah, and tomorrow if you guys show up tomorrow, I'll give you access to tomorrow's advanced webinar usually on Friday we hand out the link to Access it so you can get a feel for what we do in those advanced advanced webinars Okay. All right, Tom. Let me get to your question Let's see here Yeah, Jesus. I'd like to your feedback on that. I think you've been to quite a few of the advanced webinars. So What are your thoughts on that and and you know? Would really like to you know get any kind of insight from you if you if you could Let's see Can you explain how to adjust the time slices? Say you want to look at three-minute candle Okay, so Tom, this is the way it works. Okay, the time slice tool is up here on the toolbar the way the time slice tool works is From this point here Okay, which is the current market right this line here all the way to the end of the chart here If I choose a time slice, okay, so let's say five minutes Only five minutes is within my current chart That's the way it works. Okay, so you can see each vertical dotted line here is You know showing Separation of 30 seconds. Okay, that's just the way When we're showing 30 30 or five minutes, it's dividing up each 30 seconds Okay, now if I can if you zoom out though like you can see I just zoomed out by using my center mouse wheel Okay, and and now there's a minute between each vertical dotted line So if you want to see three minutes, I don't know if we can display three minutes, but we can certainly display two minutes Okay, there there's two minutes Okay, and let's zoom out a little bit more. I think it goes from two minutes to then five minutes Yeah, you guys go from two to five so it doesn't do three minutes All right, however, you can get three minutes up here You know in the time slice tool so Up to you how you want to use it I kind of like the view here with You know the dashed lines and I just kind of look at it Get a get a feel for you know, how much time this represents Yeah, Jesus you can reach out to me at Bruce Bruce at book map calm Okay All right Let's see the Well, that's pretty much it All sorts of new features in this book map seven, okay Bitcoin being one of them and You know very very cheap access to to bitcoin Okay, so for that one actually you'll be you'll be connected directly So no need for a data feed there. It's offered By default okay All right guys, well, let's wrap it up. We'll call it a day and we will Catch up with you tomorrow or see you in the the next webinar in just a minute. Okay. Thanks for coming. Bye. Bye

My favorite object in our collection will be the glass house itself because that's where the site began and it's still the most important thing that people want to see. My favorite object in the collection is our Grandwood sleeping porch. It was a porch with a boss relief that was designed and painted, sculpted by Grandwood and it literally leaves his fingerprints on our pension. My favorite object is actually the building itself.  It's the oldest Jewish synagogue building in the United States. The history that is in that building actually gives me goosebumps every morning when I walk in and I unlock the door.


Okay, so this is how to do a factory reset with the sing thing. There are actually three different style or kinds of factory resets you can do. There is a preset reset, which restores this to just the factory presets. So if you had any saved presets that you brought in from Voice Support or that you created and edited yourself, this is going to get rid of those. If you do find that you've created some presets that you really like and you want to save them, also use Voice Support, you can save them on to Voice Support. The second one you can do is called a settings reset, which just restores all of the settings back to your factory reset. And then factory reset is, it just wipes everything and makes it exactly the way it was when you took it out of the box. So if I didn't mumble over and stumble over too many of those words that all sound very similar, this is how you do a preset reset. You're going to hold the store button and the genre buttons while powering on. So I'm just going to turn this off for a moment. And while I'm turning it on, I'm going to hold those down. The power switch is on the back of the unit and that's doing its thing. And the current genre has no presets. Well, bam. Okay. So we're there. We did it. Preset. Reset. The next one is a settings reset. So what you're going to do is you're going to hold the store genre and mix buttons while powering on. So I'm going to turn that off again. So mix, store, genre, all three are held down and powering on. And I can let those go when you see that screen there. Voila. And the third one, the factory reset. You're going to hold the mix and harmony buttons while you're powering on. So turn it off again. I've got my harmony, my mix, turning it on with the power button on the back. Get the blue screen and there. Voila. The three factory resets. Thank you so much for watching. I hope that was helpful.

Logan's candies gained popularity online by producing content that appeals to both candy lovers and those who appreciate visually stimulating content. It has been satisfying candy lovers craving since 1933, long before the rise of social media and the popularity of ASMR and candy making videos. The shop has always been crowded with people eager to experience the annual candy making process. It's become a local tradition for families to visit the shop and purchase the best treats for Christmas and other special occasions. Logan's candies has become very popular after its videos went viral on TikTok. One fascinating thing about the shop is the number of young people who work with a senior shop owner, the Candy Man Jerry Rowley. The perfect blend of Jerry Rowley's fun Candy Man theatrics and the young employee's internet savvy ways has definitely created a sweet concoction that's gone viral across generations, both online and offline. Logan's candy's is not only one of the oldest businesses in Ontario, it's also the oldest candy shop in the area. Same stripe pattern we've been using here for 90 years and in 90 years we have never miscounted yet. When it started in 1933, the Logan family, the original business owners, began their sweet legacy with a small store in downtown Ontario, California next to the iconic Granada Theatre on Euclid Avenue. Despite opening during the challenging period of the Great Depression in the USA, the candy shop succeeded against all odds. While most businesses were forced to close, Logan's candies proved that survival was actually possible during these trying times. Then, in the early 1940s, a wealthy jewelry owner offered Logan to buy his shop. Logan accepted the offer and advertised a closeout sale for the original location. After the sale, he took down the shop's original sign and relocated to their present location on B Street. Jerry Rowley, the current owner of Logan's candies, started his candy making journey when he was only 12. He learned and perfected the art of meeting, pulling and twisting syrup into candy canes under the guidance of the shop's three previous owners. Jerry worked at Logan's while he was studying business in college, using the shop as a reference for school papers, and he soon realized that the candy business might just be his calling. In 1982, Jerry's dream came true and his wife, Susie Rowley, bought the shop. Since then, the Rowleys have been sharing the magic of traditional candy making from behind the glass of their shop. In the modern era of mass production, it's rare to come across handmade candies crafted with precision and care, and Logan's candies is one of the few places that preserve the art of traditional candy making for almost a century. Each of their sweet treats is crafted by hand, ensuring that every piece is unique and of the highest quality. From the selection of the finest ingredients to the meticulous process of shaping and molding the candies, this shop takes great pride in every step of the candy making process. Their sweets are made using high quality ingredients and time tested recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. Whether you have a sweet tooth or simply appreciate the art of candy making, this shop is a must visit destination for anyone looking to indulge in a timeless treat. If you want to sweeten your holiday season or any other celebration, Logan's candies got you covered. They offer a huge variety of treats from traditional candy canes and peanut brittles to ribbon candy and taffy. Sweet tooth to visit their shop can indulge in over 600 delightful treats ranging from vintage candy bars to tangy gummies. This shop has something special that sets it apart from others. Over 200 of their sweet treats are made by hand and in-house, including handmade chocolates, fudges, pillow mints, caramel apples, and so much more. The candy shop has gained immense popularity among not just kids, but adults too. It's particularly a go-to place during the Christmas season as visitors flock to the shop to witness the annual candy making demo and get their hands on freshly made treats. Not only is it a tremendously large candy cane, it is actually the world's largest 100% handmade candy cane. Logan's candy is not only famous for its traditional handmade candies, but also for being home to the world's largest candy cane. This huge candy cane is over 16 feet tall and weighs over 36 pounds. They hang it on their wall for customers to see. During the Christmas season, the shop produces an impressive 70,000 to 80,000 candy canes, and we still haven't included the other old-fashioned candies and chocolates they make. That's why they call the holiday candy cane season. The shop provides a unique experience that allows customers to watch as their candies made right before them. The process is fascinating and a rare opportunity to see how candy is made from scratch. It's not only entertaining but also educational as visitors can learn about the history and science of candy making. We already know the Candy Man, Jerry Raleigh as well as his wife Susie, but now let's find out who else is running their family business. Their daughter Abby works at the candy store while also dancing with Altia contemporary dance theater and to-the-point dance productions. Their family has faced challenges too, one of the most difficult being the heartbreaking loss of their beloved daughter Hannah in 2004. Hannah fought leukemia for nearly five years. Despite facing setbacks, the Raleigh family preserved and brought joy to Southern California and the rest of the U.S. with their cheerful videos and delicious treats. Abby Raleigh is one of the creative minds behind Logan's Candy's entertaining videos. Their online content shows the world that they're more than just a candy store. It's a place where dreams are made. Many videos on their TikTok have amassed over a million views. Let's take a look at some of their most popular videos. This one is an ASMR type video about rolling candy apples in different coating. This video makes the whole process of making these sweets look so exciting. And anyone like me who loves ASMR would definitely love this. This particular video let a discussion regarding what a honeycomb really is. TikTok users came to the rescue and solved the mystery by revealing that the sweet treat is actually a type of sponge toffee, which is known as honeycomb in the U.K. and hokey pokey in New Zealand. But this sped up video of honeycomb making has over 12 million views and a million likes. This candy cutting video gained over 22 million views due to its oddly satisfying nature. The kind of visually relaxing content that people just love to watch these days. And I don't blame them. This is the same as their trust the process video, but it's still managed to gather over 27 million views. In most of their videos, Jerry Raleigh and his crew are seen giving away free samples showcasing their generosity to the online world. What is the secret recipe behind the shop's viral success? Some argue that their videos are popular on TikTok because they're easy to digest. Some say that Logan's candy's achieved this because it is kept up with the latest internet trends, not just in terms of format, but also in regards to means and image quality. They've also embraced recent trends in videos like how to make and let's make, which form the basis of much of their content. Abbey Raleigh and other promising young employees contributed to the quirky internet appeal in the videos and the ideas behind them, which definitely helped to make the shop successful. Aside from the technical aspects some might argue their video content is marketing a dream and most of us if not all of us have had. It's a nostalgic dream of candy making we've all had when we were younger. This is kind of what gives these videos a comforting and familiar feeling. The traditional approach they take along with Jerry's image as a classic candy maker, similar to a working class Willy Wonka, really sells the idea of traditionalism which contributes to a lot of their video's sentimental value and I absolutely love that. Logan's candy's videos effectively connect the old and new generation by combining traditional candy making methods and aesthetics with the modern format and spirit. Now let's take a look inside their store. Once you walk in you'll notice apart from the candies and sweets they make they also offer a selection of commercially available sweets. This is great because it adds more variety to their product. Also you can see where they work and the Candy Man stage if you know what I mean. That's where people can watch Jerry Raleigh and his crew do candy making demos. Here you'll also see the amazing hook they've been using since 1933. In the next room they also sell merch like baseball caps, shirts, mugs, and hoodies. Additionally there's a chocolates here section with a range of sugar-free and sweetened chocolates. Customers are welcome with more treats in the third room of Logan's candies. Additionally there's a gift shop, a surprisingly extensive area for more merch. In one corner you'll find nostalgic items related to Logan's candies and the traditional ways of candy making. As we've seen the design of Logan's candy shop is pretty traditional. At first glance the candy shop might appear to be pretty typical but how it's presented through its viral videos goes a long way in shaping the public's perception. The combination of a seemingly ordinary store with these candid yet entertaining promo efforts works like magic. Elevating the status of this candy place to one of famous luxury if you will.

Why understanding the group dynamics of an ESL classroom is important? Humans are social animals. Throughout history, we've always evolved in communities and societies, where individuals relate with others by affiliating themselves to different groups. They are then integrated into a complex social network, whose members often have a strong impact on each other. Group dynamics represent this impact – they designate the functioning of a group and the relationships between its members. These dynamics also play an important role in the classroom, thus it is essential that the teacher understands them in order to create a productive synergy between themselves and their students. Tailoring lessons to suit the common dynamic One of the main components of group dynamics is the cohesion between its members which unites them towards a common goal and strongly determines how leadership and decision-making processes happen, as well as their effectiveness. In the case of a classroom, cohesion can be found naturally if its members have similar backgrounds, either by their age, their location, or their culture, which often leads them to share similar goals, values, attitudes, and needs. If we take these affinities and or these differences into account, we, as instructors, can adapt our teaching style to present our lessons in the best way possible for our students. For example, if we were teaching to a group singularly composed of adults, different activities would be used than with a younger age group, whose attention span differs. Therefore, when teaching English to seven-year-olds, songs and games might be the best option, but an older crowd might rapidly get bored and feel like they need some written structure to really grasp the concepts we are teaching them. Another example would be the difference between students from different countries, whose rapport to school and to their teachers might vary tremendously. For example, fun activities in Japan, where school is seen as a very serious and honorable institution, might be considered out of place, whereas they would probably be well-received in South American classrooms. As an English teacher, it is, therefore, crucial to understand our students' background so we can tailor our lessons to answer their needs in the best way possible. Understanding the classroom dynamic can help with participation and discipline. Besides tailoring our lessons for specific students, the study of group dynamics also offers us techniques to increase participation and discipline amongst our class. Indeed, by making sure we are taking into account the different social conventions that come with every age group, we can easily make sure that the students follow the rules. For example, if we are teaching English to a group of five-years-olds and one of them is constantly misbehaving, we can assume that the child is feeling neglected and is screaming for attention. Therefore, instead of yelling at him, which would not resolve the root issue in a positive way, we can make him our little assistant. He can then distribute papers, or make sure that the other students are respecting the rules. By giving him responsibilities, we are making sure he feels heard and has different activities to channel his energy. In conclusion, by adapting our teaching style to the difficult student, we will have resolved the issue in a positive way, helping the student reach his potential instead of repressing him. In another situation, if we were to teach a class of young teenagers, who often feel self-conscious and refuse to participate in class, we could organize activities in teams of two or three in order to encourage them to speak in the language, without the pressure of ridicule. It is therefore crucial as a teacher to understand and use group dynamics so that our lessons can be specifically tailored and thus be as efficient as possible. Are you ready to teach English abroad?
