It's Friday night Atlanta time to rise up tonight with Kelly Price and Harry Douglas presented by AT&T The curse is broken and we have the Atlanta Braves to thank for that I'm Kelly Price joined in studio with Harry Douglas the former Falcons wide receiver Harry Welcome to this desk It feels like the first day of school and you got to sit right next to your favorite friend in class Yes, it does Kelly and I'm so glad that our Atlanta Falcons could get a victory And all I heard when I turned the game on right was who that who that who that well I got a little message for the people down in New Orleans all of the state of Louisiana who that who that say they gonna beat them Falcons not gonna run tell that You heard the man Well, I gotta be honest it did kind of seem like it was going sideways as we saw the Falcons with their late three score Leave dissolving in those final minutes in New Orleans And that's where Maddie ice came in with his 41st career game winning drive seventh place on the NFL's all-time list Quarterl Patterson even joked after the game We've got to stop giving our fans a heart attack and maybe they will because we love to see this team crush that Atlanta sports Collapsing narrative and I think it started with a landing break shout out to the Braves because last year They was up 3-1 versus the Dodgers they collapsed right this year They were three of three one against the Dodgers they won in six this year That was up three one in the World Series They won in six and then the Falcons came gave up a little league gave up their league to the Saints But they won the game So now we're moving forward Kelly. We're moving forward now no more collapses And most importantly I think after starting oh and two and then one and three on the season the Falcons have won three of their Last four games. They're now at 500. How do they build on that momentum continuing to kind of build confidence as they head to Dallas? We know the Cowboys are favored But they did just drop a surprising one last week to Denver after not losing since week one in Tampa And I'll say you got to focus on the basics get back to the Main things when it comes to football right the fundamentals of the game and then I play with a guy named top McClure aka We call him mud done and he used to have this saying there's no minimum like momentum, baby Take this momentum head on down to Dallas. They're wounded right now when they're wounded. Don't let them breathe Stomp on their necks choke them out a little bit Kelly And we love a good mud duck quote here on rise up tonight Meanwhile someone we really haven't talked a whole lot about on this show is AJ Terrell Who's maybe one of the most under-the-radar players on this roster right now? He had one of his best games as a pro on Sunday with three big passes defended allowing just two completions for 19 yards being targeted five times And according to pro football focus Terrell has given up the fewest yards of any corner starting in the NFL with 74 on top of that Harry he hasn't had a flag thrown against him in three games Is a star being born in front of us Kelly a star is in the making with AJ Terrell He happens to be right here from Atlanta went to Westlake high school and I'll say this I remember when he was drafted in the first round some fans were a little iffy about the pit not me I knew what we had. I knew the big-time football that he played at Clemson. He has transferred that over I say he's copied and pasted over to the national football league So shout out to AJ Terrell for being one of the most underrated people and I need the national media to show him Some appreciation because he's ballin this year So the guys certainly stepped up a notch for the New Orleans trip and the first time this season We've actually had kind of a hard time narrowing down the best pregame Falcons fits first up Mike Davis with the ATLians jersey outcast bringing these back to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their iconic album Of course, we're parting like it's 1995 with the brazen 1996 with the ATLians jersey I know you love this throwback Harry me and you Your mama and your cousin too, there's nothing like being an ATLian being from here Mike Davis is representing the city of Atlanta He's from here represent the outcast outcast representing the Braves outcast supporting the Atlanta Falcon Mike Davis Shout out to you man for keeping it here right at home We love to see it and his outcasts once said what's cooler than being cool ice cold Which is exactly the theme the Grady Jarrett was going for here with this white-out suit fit I like this and I'll tell you why he felt godly on Sunday, which was very very well needed Kelly Why because he was down there in New Orleans with all those witchcraft people all that demonic demonic spirits So Grady keep shining rock the all-white when you're feeling godly and we got to win Grady wasn't the only guy on the defensive front to show out Steven means scooping and almost scoring on Sunday But he gets all the points in my book for this look with the red blazer The red and black color tones and even just keeping it simple with some jeans and a black tee with sneakers to match Harry Hey, big boy has some style and he got him a fumble and picked it up And he was stumbling and bumbling and rumbling before he was caught inside the ten-yard line Steven means nice outfit I wish you could have gotten the end zone, but it's okay. The office took care of the rest Finally another week of sharp dressing from the vet Duran Harman this suit could not be sharper and to top it all off He hits us with the turtleneck GQ get a hold of this man. He has covered ready You always know when you're dealing with the pros pro and you can tell he came from New England I'm not saying we love New England, but you can tell he came up there from a team. That's business like he has his turtleneck Got his nice suit and Kelly. I know you really go like this with that milk That is shining for a second time this year You always get me with that one So we saw some pretty hype post game celebration this week in the Falcons locker room after that win in New Orleans It got us thinking who's the worst dancer in that locker room? Let's find out what the guys have to say in this week's question of the week Worst answer on the team. I got to put myself towards the top of that list I can't foresee Caleb being very good at dancing, you know, unless it's like a cowboy shuffle kind of deal Myself was definitely towards the top of that list. I'm not a great dancer, but I'm gonna make fun of Josh all the time He just looked like a dad But yeah, that's my guy, but I just see that that's a tough one cause a lot of guys can't dance I just got to get to Mike Davis cuz that's my guy. I don't know if he can dance enough, but I just feel like he cannot dance I think Mike Davis, I've heard a little word around the streets, you know, he hasn't he doesn't have much rhythm So I'll say Mike And they're coming from Mike Davis's life in that running back room I don't know what's going on there Harry We all know here on Rise Up Tonight that you've got the tunes you got the moves to match But I know you've also got a good story about a surprising player you played with who was a good dancer Yes, he was we had a backup center by the name of Brit want Romberg He played down in University of Miami when they were the you the real you so you know He had to have some rhythm some soul. So every Friday We used to get in the circle and I used to hit that beat and I say run bird drop that thing Romberg used to used to pop it and drop it like it was hot everything Romberg used to hit it That's my boy right there. I love Romberg got a poppin and drop it here on Rise Up Tonight Still ahead here on the show we catch up with the guy who has worn both Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Falcons jerseys Brian Jordan joins us later on plus more AJ Terrell and how he can go to work in Dallas this Sunday My film room is next on Rise Up Tonight We got your cover with more Falcons news and nuggets including a trip over to Harry's film room Rise Up Tonight will be right back What's up ATL? This is Ted Crack Let's rejoin my favorite co-host Kelly and Harry for more Rise Up Tonight on your home for Falcons football Fox 5 Atlanta Welcome back to Rise Up Tonight for this week's edition of Harry's film room. After having a very productive rookie season This player has stepped it up even more this year. It has become one of the NFL's top corners He doesn't get many targets because he's usually duct-taking opponents Let's take a look at a play last week versus the Saints so we can see firsthand while quarterbacks are scared of them Right here you're gonna see cornerback AJ Terrell one-on-one with the Saints wide receiver now the Saints right here They're gonna run a boot action and as we let this video play. I want y'all to see some techniques We're gonna stop it right here now press coverage. You can do a couple different things You could be aggressive or you can open the gate and mirror the wide receiver That's what he did right here But I love this arm bar that he gave the wide receiver to let him know Hey, I'm gonna be over top and you see his position this receiver right now cannot be AJ Terrell D Now as we let the video finish playing We see AJ Terrell He's gonna stop on the dime, but this is what I love even more. Oh right here Right there It was a little bit of separation by the receiver and defensive back But AJ Terrell got up out of his break came downhill and beat the receiver to the football Now this is why he's one of the best corners in the NFL and I need people on a national stage to give him his props Kelly back to you Put some respect on his name. Thanks, Harry Well Dallas comes into this matchup as one of the best offenses in the NFL Falcons insider Dave Archer breaks down how Atlanta can Get the win in his keys to the game Falcons get a big win in New Orleans now They're back on the road against the Cowboys in Dallas in jury world Let's look at some keys to the game. This is an Atlanta team that's playing Solidly on the offensive side of football. They made some big plays They're gonna need to do some more of that in this game You're gonna have to score points against this Dallas team because this Dallas seems very good on the offensive side of the ball This is a defense that feeds on takeaways They have 14 on the year in fact 11 interceptions take care of the football in this game Which is paramount in every game, but Dallas really feeds on those short field opportunities to give their offense a chance to put points On the board make sure you take care of the football Don't give them any easy breaks on the other side of the football defensively This is gonna be a tall task is the number one offense in the league. They lead the league in yards They're third in the league on in scoring points. They're third in the league and third down offense So what do you have to do? You've got to find a way to win that third down That's what Denver did last weekend. They held Dallas It is 5 of 13 on third down limited their possessions. In fact, Dallas only had the ball for 18 minutes of the game That's what you've got to do keep this Dallas offense off of the field and you come home a winner again The road warriors going on the road to Dallas Good stuff there. Thanks arch still to come on rise up tonight how the Falcons are giving back this veterans day more on that coming up Later on in the show and coming up next we go in the nest with BJ also known as Brian George That's next on rise up tonight Rise up tonight is presented by AT&T and brought to you by Georgia Lottery today could be today By Home Depot how do is get more done by Mercedes Benz the best of nothing and by truance committed to a better future Come back to rise up tonight and it's time to hop into the nest with Kelly Harry and tonight's influencer What's you by Mercedes Benz? Well in the nest with us this week. We've got an appropriate guest He's worn both a braves and a Falcons jersey Brian Jordan. I mean, can you even believe that the braves really did it? You know, I really can't and you know halfway through the season I think everybody counted us out cool. Yeah, we lose one of the best players in the game But got to give a lot of credit to Alex anthopoulos for making those moves just before the trade deadline It really transformed this ballclub and you know, the clubhouse was just unbelievable And what a run. I mean you look at losing Hank earned in the offseason and the braves come back How ironic is it that they win the world championship? What has it been like for you to now watch this team in a kind of an analyst role? You know, it's been interesting because you know when I retired from the from the game in 2006 I never thought I'd be an analyst for anybody And but you know 15 years later here. I am I enjoy it and keeps me around the game And you know, it's been fun these last four years when I was that thought well three years since our st Officer has been there at the helm. He's done a fantastic job and each year, you know with the talent that we have You feel like you got a chance every year. Thanks to the great work of the organization putting that in place You know, we may see another 14 year run. Who knows I went into the division. So You know, it's fun to watch the fun of the cities young players develop and right now They're doing a great job of keeping them together So what is it about the city of Atlanta, right that you love so much because see you played three years here from the NFL standpoint five seasons here from MLB standpoint and you reside here in Atlanta So what is it about Atlanta that captured you? You know, I love the city. I love the diversity. I love the opportunity You know, we have so many great companies here in Atlanta You know, that's what kept kept me here You know, I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland I thought I might go back to Baltimore, but you know being exposed to Atlanta and the times that that I've been here It's been fun and something that you know, I don't want to leave my opportunity is tear. I write children's books. So You know, I'm in embedded in the elementary school space. So I enjoy it and I love Atlanta Thinking back to your playing days here for the Falcons Brian I know it was only a couple short seasons But what are some memories that stick out about playing for this Falcons franchise? While being a part of the first Deion Sanders experience we came in together and that was under Marion Campbell when the Falcons were not good at all To really be a part of that team that turned it around and and the 90 and 91 season It was a lot of fun. It was crazy with Jerry Glanville But we loved him and he was a player's coach and he allowed us to be ourselves and you remember That was the MC hammer days and holy fields and country singers on the sideline We just had fun and we kind of made it our own and in the city of Atlanta really embraced us and and That was the beginning of the land of falcons coming back alive Now you played football first professionally and then you played baseball second Is there a particular reason why you went football first and baseball second? Well, I think the instant gratification of football, you know, baseball is a process You know, you go through the final leagues. You got to work your way to the big leagues and football. Hey, you make the team It's now it's here now and I love that part about the football game and football Everybody asked me which one's my favorite football was my favorite and you know to have three really good years With the Falcons being alternate in the Pro Bowl my third year, you know, I was starting to rise I was starting to be noticed and I wasn't ready to give up football at the time, but You know baseball is a lot safer You know longevity in baseball so it's a tough choice for me to have to make Unfortunately, I had to make that choice and decided on baseball I remember after three years of playing baseball the Raiders called me to try to get me back on a football field and That was that was tempting But you know, my body was feeling good baseball and I knew how hard I was hitting on that football field So eventually I would fall apart on that football field Brian, thanks so much for the time for sharing some some memories of your Falcons days and Braves days as well Anyone who wants to catch the full conversation head to foxfiveatlanta.com and we'll be right back on rise up tonight Hey, Atlanta, this is a crack talking and you watching rise up tonight presented by AT&T Hey crack here rise up tonight has been presented to you by AT&T As part of the NFL salute to service week to celebrate and honor military members this Veterans Day The Falcons hosted their second annual battle of the bases giving some active-duty service members an opportunity to compete against one another In the shadow of Mercedes-Benz stadium Victor Prieto has that story as we rise up for Atlanta brought to you by truest We gonna see them when we get back to for a minute. It ain't over with the troops swap their uniforms for flags this week The Atlanta Falcons hosted their second annual battle of the bases Inviting military members from Fort Benning and Fort Gordon to compete in a flag football tournament with former Falcons legends coaching by their sides Just to pay homage to our veterans because this is service week And we want to salute our service men and women that help protect us in this wonderful country It's a lot of high energy a really cool way for our military to come out here and show them that we appreciate them But while they have fun too so this is one of our fun events of the week But honestly every single day during the week of salute to service week presented by Zaxby's is a different way for us to give back To the military definitely good experience to actually come out here playing like obviously behind Mercedes-Benz They're not a lot of people get to do that, you know, so it's definitely good experience to come out here and like Play have fun though these servicemen are friends and brothers out on the base out here on the field These guys are cold blooded competitors all vying for that championship trophy and knowing a win means bragging rights back Keep going Yeah, I like that baby they started off and they weren't really talking to each other I heard the team chance going on I really felt like I was in the tunnel of a Sunday NFL matchup because guys were getting ready to go after it Everybody's very competitive everybody about the a game everybody about they got think everybody trying to get scouted about somebody But there's no scouts out here. You know, so everybody doing good, you know But I'm proud of everybody all the troops were coming out being very supportive being very very respectful to everybody You know, nobody tries talking everything is pretty good and fun in the end Tom and his team fell short of the title with team No talent from Fort Benning claiming the championship prize for Fox 5 sports. I'm Victor Prieto Cool story. Thanks Victor So Harry this Sunday there will be a familiar face to Falcons fans and to players in that coaches box Dan Quinn, do you think that guys like Matt Ryan knowing the former head coach so well will be able to take advantage of the defense He'll run out there with Dallas, of course He was used to seeing that defense weekend and week out here every day in practice while Dan Quinn was here in Atlanta So I'm looking for Matt Ryan to be able to have a good game and not to mention last year He carved this defense up a lot of the same faces over there still and do you kind of have a little bit of extra Juice when you go against a former coach like that Yeah, of course you do and Dan Quinn did some great things here But I'd be the first to tell you Dan Quinn Harley Quinn Brady Quinn Quinn Quinn. I don't care who it is Falcons in four. Well, there's not a Quinn on the Cowboys offense But is there another maybe out of you know, a matchup that you're looking for there? I am I'm looking for the receivers of Dallas Cowboys and then the secondary of the Atlanta Falcons, right? I'm looking for AJ Terrell. Who's he gonna guard? Is it gonna be CD lamb? Is it gonna be a Mari Cooper not to mention in that room over there in a tight end of room for Dallas? They have guys over there that can play the game of football as well So the skill position players on the perimeter versus the secondary the Falcons That's what I'm looking forward to and Atlanta has been really good on the road So they'll hope to continue that trend in Jerry world. Thanks for staying up late with us here on rise up tonight for Harry Douglas I'm Kelly price and we'll see you back here next Friday night


Hey, what's up, coach? Welcome back to the channel. Hope you're doing well. Now, if you haven't yet, make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with all the latest content that we're putting out now on a regular basis. So every 24 hours, there's a video going out by even myself or our success coaches within our company, putting content out, specializing in different types of sports. So we've got a success coach in basketball, in sports performance, in aquatic sports. We've got myself in soccer. So every single day, we're putting out content to help you with your business. So make sure you subscribe to stay up to date with the upcoming videos. Now, also, if you want to get in contact with me to discuss your business, OK, there's two ways you can do that. First way is in the description of this video, there'll be a calendar link. You can book a free 15 to 20 minute call with me. We can jump on Zoom. I can ask you a few really good questions that will give me a bit of an insight into exactly where you are with your business, how well your business is operating, and I can give you some actionable steps to take this week to grow and scale your business to the next level. Now, if you don't want to do that and you just want to send me an email, then you can do that as well. My email is makemoneycoachingsportsatgmail.com. Right. Those are the two ways you can get in contact with me. Every single day, I'm jumping on these these calls with coaches. I'm speaking to them, even if they aren't part of our our company. They aren't clients with us, but I speak to make it a mission to speak to coaches and connect and help coaches with their business every single day. So I was on a recent call with one coach who is in soccer. And the question he asked me, he said, what are the signs of a bad customer? So gave me a good idea and I thought to myself, you know, I'm going to come on, I'm going to come on here and I'm going to make a video to talk about this, because this is something that's really, really important. And I myself have a business. I run a business. And at the same time, I also do consulting with coaches and I help coaches to to improve their own business as well. So I myself deal with bad customers on a regular basis. And there are three things that have become common when I break down what a bad customer or what the signs of a bad customer looks like. OK, now it's important that when you when you have a business that you protect your business from bad customers, because ultimately what can happen is a bad customer can destroy not only the image of your business, but it can destroy its reputation. They can talk badly to other parents. And then just word goes around and it gives your business a really bad image, a bad reputation, and that can hurt your company because parents love to talk, right? Whatever part of the world you're in, parents like to talk. They like to gossip. They like to talk about their child and what their child is doing. And if you have a parent who is talking badly about your company, that will spread to other parents. OK, so what we want to do is we want to weed out those bad parents, get rid of them so parents, clients, customers, we want to get rid of them early on. And we want to focus on more committed clients. This is something we teach. This is one part of our philosophy when we help coaches with their business is how to attract more committed, more reliable and more dedicated clients because ultimately those clients will help to grow and scale what you do. So three, three things, three signs, three warnings. That I have seen have been a common occurrence with not just my training business, but also the coaches we help within our company, right? Not every single coach is a good client. You know, not every coach is committed, is dedicated to learning, to building their business. So what we have to do as a company, we have to make sure that we weed out those those uncommitted coaches and work only with ones that are committed to growing, to scaling and to prospering with their company. So the first one is they lack communication with you. So when you bring on a bad customer and they don't have good communication with you, then what ultimately this starts to happen is communication breaks down. The relationship between you and the customer starts to break down because you might be messaging them or you might be trying to get in contact with them over an issue to do with payment or an issue to do with rescheduling a session or a promotion or whatever it is you want to get in contact with that customer. And if they're not answering their phone, if they're not responding back to your email address, your email, then they're lacking communication. There's a lack of communication there between you and them. And ultimately, what happens is if a customer is not communicating with you effectively, is not responding to your messages, to your calls, that is going to hurt your business in the long term because if they aren't answering to an email or a call, the chances are that they'll probably pay late or if there's an issue with their credit card, they're not going to contact you to get that sorted so that they can pay you for your service. So ultimately, it's going to hold your company back. It's going to make you as the business owner feel frustrated, feel angry. So that's one thing I look for is how are they communicating with me? Do they have good communication or do they lack communication? And if they lack communication, then that is a sign that they aren't a good fit for your company. So the second one is they show up late or they don't show up at all. Now, I remember when I was working with clients at the beginning of my business and like every coach at the beginning, you want to bring customers in to give your brand more exposure. And some of the people I was bringing in wasn't weren't a good fit for my business. But at the time, I accepted them because I didn't have any clients. Right? I needed clients. I needed to build traction. I needed to build a name. But what started to happen is because I didn't have any agreement with those clients, because I didn't have any terms and conditions, any rules within the business, those clients started to show up late. Sometimes they didn't show up at all. Sometimes they'll show up one week the next week. They don't come to the session and I'm there at the field.  And then you get a last minute text message or a call saying that we can't make it, right? And this is what, 10, 15 minutes before your sessions about to start.   Right? So showing up late for me is a big sign that they aren't a good customer. OK, if you pay for a service, right, you should be showing up on time. If you're committed to something, you show up early, you show up on time. So if they aren't showing up, the chances are that later, later down. So if they're not showing up on time, the chances are that later down the road, they're not going to end up showing up at all. OK, now where coaches get hurt really bad is the ones that charge cash, the ones that are receiving cash. They don't have a system set up where parents are paying them online. They've got a contract in place. The ones that are paying cash are the ones that always get hit the most with this. OK, because what their customers do is they take advantage of them, right? The coaches write to the sessions, they set up and then last minute they get a text message saying, oh, we can't make it for whatever reason Johnny has a headache or Johnny has a stomach ache or whatever it is. And then ultimately, the coach doesn't get paid because that client hasn't showed up, OK? So the big warning sign, if the customer is showing up late. Sometimes people do show up late and sometimes it's out of our control. But if it's a regular occurrence, then and you don't have any rules in place, standards within your business, then that's going to hurt you in the long term. Right. And that is one big sign of a bad customer. But the third one is pay late or don't pay at all. So an example I gave in my second point was if a coach. Charges clients a cash and that client or that customer. Is not showing up to the session. Then ultimately, you don't get paid at all for that session. But you've made the effort to travel to the facility to set up. You know, you've probably planned the session beforehand. So all of that is energy and effort. And then the client isn't showing up, which means you don't get paid at all. OK, so that a warning sign is customers that pay late. Or the ones that don't pay at all. OK, ones that don't pay at all is a shall we say a. It's a it's a common one, but it's also also an obvious sign. That they're a bad client, because if they're not paying at all, then ultimately we've got to get rid of them from our company because ultimately that's going to hurt us in the long term. But the ones that pay you late and sometimes sometimes it could happen where we're clients for whatever reason, that month they, you know, they get paid differently on a different day that month and they have to pay you maybe a couple of days late or one day late. OK, that that might happen. But once it becomes a regular occurrence where they're paying you late over the course of a period of time, then for me personally, I think that that's when they're starting to become a bad customer because in your head, you're starting to stress out. OK, you as a business owner, you've got expenses that you have to pay for. But you've got commitments that you need to complete. And me and if you have customers who are training with you. But they're paying when they want or they're paying late. Then ultimately in the long term, that sometimes leaves you out of pocket. OK, so we want to make sure that we get clients committed and if a client is paying late. Then we have to make sure that we. Talk to them, get on a phone call with them and say to them, right, like these are the conditions of the business. This is how our program works. And if you guys pay late one one more time, then ultimately, you're breaking the terms and conditions of the company. So ultimately, we we have to let you guys go. OK, the more you become stern, the more you become strict with your standards that you have for your business, the better your business will run and also in the long term, you will weed out people that end up becoming bad customers. OK, so hopefully this helps. And if you have to, if you want to speak to me about anything that I've shared today, then two ways you can do that, as I mentioned at the beginning of the video. The first way is you can schedule a free 15 to 20 minute call with me. OK, we can do that of Zoom. You can visit the calendar calendar link in the description of this video. Click on it. You can book a free 15 to 20 minute call with me or. Another way is you can send me an email directly to my email. It's make money coaching sports at gmail.com. Right. Hopefully this video has helped you. So these are the three warning signs of a bad customer. Now, before we go, make sure you subscribe to the channel to stay up to date with all the latest content that we put out. OK, thank you for watching and I'll see you on the next one.


Hello friends, in this video I am going to demonstrate how to merge duplicate references present in Zotero referencing software. We all know there are multiple ways for importing references in Zotero, like you can directly import the PDF data, you can directly use the web importer extraction data, you can manually enter, you can use this identifier number also. So in this video I am going to show multiple entries through this identifier and web importer. First I am going to import the references using the web importer present here. So I am clicking on the web importer here, automatically it is getting saved to the demo folder which I have made for Zotero referencing demonstration here. So it has already stored. Suppose in case if I have copied this PubMed ID as the identifier here, copied this added as a PubMed number here, there are both references present here. When you are writing a large manuscript then what happens is this may get repeated again. So I will show you how it get repeated, I will show you this. Suppose in case I am inserting the first reference here, first reference here and the second reference here, both are same references but actually imported in different formats like this multiple times we can import into Zotero reference software. So because of this you may get duplicates in the reference list. Suppose if we are typing the bibliography here, it will be represent as a duplicate. In order to avoid this, what we are supposed to do is we need to go to Zotero, we need to click on this duplicate items, it will automatically screen for the duplicate items which is present. Then we need to merge these items present here, then automatically here it will become one. We need to go back to the word, we have to click on the refresh button, then automatically it will get updated into a single reference. Hereby you can merge the duplicate references in the reference list while using Zotero referencing software. I repeat when we have multiple references present in the reference list that is duplicates are present in the reference list then we are supposed to click on this duplicate items screen for any duplicate items present, if at all it is present then we need to merge those items, then after merging those items we need to go back to the word document click on the refresh here then automatically the duplicates will get merged. Thanks for watching this video, if you like this video please click on the like button, subscribe to the channel and share it to your friends. Thank you very much for watching.

Let's go ahead and dive right in. I'm super excited to talk about Light Solo and how it can help you become a better lighter, a more efficient lighter and a more accurate lighter and basically on a surface level what Light Solo allows you to do is solo any lights that you have selected. I'm just gonna hit the Light Solo button and you can see that this is just going to solo those selected lights and turn all the rest off. Now you can see I'm using all Redshift lights here but Light Solo works with any light from Arnold, built-in renderers, Octane lights, VDB volumes, Redshift lights. If I go ahead and I solo that mesh light it's gonna turn all of the other lights off. We're talking the environment lights, spot lights, day lights. You can see all of the different type of lights that I just kind of threw in from the built-in C40 renderers, the Arnold renderer lights and skies and mesh lights and volumes, same thing with Octane, same thing with Redshift. So VDB volumes, these are all supported and can be soloed using Light Solo. So it's as easy as just selecting lights and hitting the Solo button or you can map this to a shortcut key. Now the best part is is once you're done soloing all of these different lights you can easily just go back to having all the lights turned back on by holding the Shift key down and clicking Light Solo and that will turn back on all of your lights and that's where you can start going in and soloing again but this is a super easy way to be able to dial in looks and see light contributions work more efficiently, work faster while you are lighting in any of these third-party renderers. So let's cover the basic ways that Light Solo works. You can see that again I can click on any light, click the button Solo it. I have this actually mapped to a shortcut key which is just the semi-colon key so I can just easily click on any lights, hit the shortcut key and be able to solo any selected lights. Now what if I want to go and select all these lights and maybe I just want to see what that background light's doing so I can go ahead and hit the shortcut key that's only gonna show that background light. Okay, what if I wanna go back to all those solo lights that I had before? All I need to do to do that is hold the Control or Command key down, click the Light Solo button and that will go back to your last state or the last state of soloed lights. So if I wanna see what are these lights doing, I'll just solo these. You can see we can quickly audition lighting setups here and if you actually don't want a light to be messed with by Light Solo at all, say I wanna always have this kicker light turned on, all I need to do is just put a underscore right before the light and I can go ahead and solo the background light and you can see that that's not going to affect that kicker light so this is great if you wanna keep lights turned on or off no matter what you're doing with Light Solo. So I can go back to the previous state by holding the Command or Control key down and clicking and I just love having this docked in my UI here. So to do that, I'm just gonna bring up the Commander, Shift C and I'm just gonna type in Light Solo and you can see I can just click and drag this, bring that into the UI. You can see I already have one there. So you can see I'm just gonna go into my Customized Palettes and just double click on the one and remove that one there. Now one really awesome workflow I like to use is if I wanna addition different lighting setups like I have all of these different light setups under these nulls, what I like to do is create selection objects. So for each lighting setup that I wanna audition or mess around with, what I'll do is select them all. I'll go up to Select, selection filter, create selection object and here we will have this selection object and you can see I already have a menacing selection object there but if I go to this selection object and just rename this menacing and you can see as I select this object all of the lights that you have underneath that selection and to recall that selection, all I need to do is double click on this little icon here that will select all the lights and then all I need to do is simply hit the Light Solo button or again if you mapped it to a shortcut key you can totally do that. So you can map shortcut keys by going up to Window, Customization, Customize Palettes and here I'm going to look up Light Solo and there it is and basically if you wanna assign a shortcut key you select that object and you can see I just use the semicolon to do that all I did was hit the semicolon button, hit assign and then you can see that assign that shortcut key. If I wanted to do period, I can type in period and that'll load there and I can say assign and this C4D error box will show up if you're overwriting a current shortcut key. So typically I'm not gonna wanna do that and that's why I'm just using the semicolon and assigning because no other option is using that shortcut key so that's why that's working for me and so I'll just close out of that and now I can easily hit the colon key and solo all of these different lights. So this just really opens up so many possibilities for just increasing the efficiency in how you work, seeing how lights are affecting your object and seeing and really dialing in each individual light and its contribution and that can really help you avoid some of the most common lighting mistakes that I'm gonna cover right now. All right, so let's talk most common lighting mistakes that I see and how you can improve them and number one is just having everything way too flat. You can see this render right here, everything is so flat and a lot of times that's caused by just lighting with a dome light or an HDR light. You can see that if I really crank up the exposure here, everything is gonna be fairly flat. We have too much ambient light here and that's why it's really important that if you do use an HDR light, you at least have a couple other area lights in there to really dial in and shape the form of your object because an HDRI is not made with the shape of the object you're trying to light in mind so that's when you're really gonna need to have that little personal touch and really finesse the lighting of your scene to help accentuate that form, okay? So you can see that this is just overall very flat. Again, we have this dome light kind of making everything super flat. Again, too much ambient light. So what we can do is I'm gonna solo this key light here and the one problem with this light position is that it's right directly in front of our object and this is just going to have that like on-board flash kind of look. So one thing that's gonna help is just moving this off to the side like so and you can already see by moving this off to the side, we're getting this nice gradient and we're really seeing the details, all the nooks and crannies of this light and that's why it's great to just solo a light and be able to really dial in and see exactly what that light is doing and what it's contributing to the scene because if I know this is my key light and this is what it's contributing, I can go ahead and let's add this overhead light. So I'm just gonna select both those lights and hit the solo button and you can see that, okay, this is the overhead and you can see those two added together but let's just see what this overhead light's doing. You can see that this is creating a lot of really nice contrasts as far as the shadows, it's right overhead. So we're getting all this nice contrast and shadows really accentuating the detail on this lion object here. If I turn on all of these lights together, I'm just gonna hit the shortcut key that I assigned for light solo, which was the colon key, you can see that this is looking pretty good. It's still a little flat, so maybe we go and solo that dome light and maybe we bring this down quite a bit so it's not really filling the scene with so much ambient light and then again, I'm gonna go back to my previous state which was having these three lights soloed so I'm gonna hold the controller command key down, click on the light solo button and we can see the contribution of all of those lights. So you really wanna have a nice gradation, a nice contrast ratio of highlights, medium exposed areas and then of course shadows because shadows really provide that contrast depth and can really help add to the mood. So really great to be able to just solo some of these lights and really dial them in, dial in all the key lights, fills, your rims, I'm just gonna hold down the control key to turn back on those three lights and this is looking a lot better than where we came from. Where everything was just so flat, you couldn't really get the details of this object and again, that's one of the major downsides of just using a dome light to light your scene. It's great for filling in little details and bringing up the fidelity of some of the areas in shadow just to add a little bit more detail and especially with reflections, it's great to add a reflection detail but you don't wanna just be lighting with a dome light or an HDRI. Now let's cover the most other common lighting mistake and that is over exposing your object. So before we had our lighting so flat that we're not getting a lot of detail, here we have the exact opposite where we have too much light and it's really blowing out the form of this object. So I can go in here and you know, it's a lot of times I'm like, man, I'm really blowing out my object and I need to find out what light is causing that like overblown highlight. So this is where it's great to use light solar to just like solo that key light. Let's see like that's just too hot by itself. So that's where you know that I need to bring down this light because even with all the other lights off in the scene, this light alone is really blowing out a lot of that detail so I can bring this exposure back. Maybe I go and adjust the spread of this light. So it's just kind of, you know, focusing more of the light on a certain part of the object here. Maybe I move this a little bit off to the side, rotate that. But here again, it's just so critical to be able to see a single light's contribution to your scene, maybe angle this up so we get a lot more of the shadow detail. And this is where it's great to just shape the form, paint with light, right? And really dial in that look. Look at how contrast-y this looks and you know, this is looking really good and it sets the mood and that kind of leads into the next common lighting mistake that I see a lot. Let's actually go to the overhead lights here and see what that's doing. That's actually not bad, you know? Maybe we can position it over, maybe dial that back a little bit. Let's solo this kicker light. You can see that this kicker light by itself is super blown out. So with kicker lights, with rim lights, sometimes a little bit goes a long way, so just don't go crazy when using your rim lights. Again, sometimes a little bit goes a long way. Let's check out this other rim light. You can see that that's not terrible. It's still a little bit overblown here. We're losing some of the fidelity here, especially right here as well. We're losing that nice bump texture so we can pull back on this a little bit. You can see that for the most part, I'm not using your traditional three-point light setup because really the three-point light setup is more about how to use a light versus how many lights you should use. So again, I'm just gonna solo this dome light here and this is pretty bright. It's adding a lot of ambient light to this scene, probably contributing to just having everything just way too overexposed. And let's go ahead and just solo all these lights here. And you see that we're getting a much nicer result. Again, we've achieved that nice contrast ratio, that nice gradient from left to right. We have brighter spots, mid-tones, and darker areas and this is really helping to accentuate the form. There's so many nice details on this model that we should really light to accentuate that. Now, I am seeing this still really blown out over here. So again, that's where you can go in and see what light is the culprit there. I think it might be that rim light and the kicker light. I can just solo both of these lights together and see exactly, yep, they're both kind of blown that out. So I'll just bring them both down because I have them both selected and just pull back there. Let's just solo this kicker. And again, just being able to quickly solo a light with a click of a button and pull back and dial in your lighting setups is just such a huge time saver when it comes to lighting. You can light more efficiently, light faster and really tweak to your heart's content without having to waste all those button clicks trying to solo each light manually by turning things on. So that's looking a lot better. Let's go ahead and cover another lighting mistake and that is not using light intentionally. So usually what helps you light a scene is going into it, knowing what kind of mood or story, like what is the story you're trying to tell? What's that mood? What is the feeling you want to elicit from the viewer? And that's really important because when you light with the story or mood in mind, the process of lighting becomes that much easier. So you can see I have this menacing light setup here that I'll just go ahead and solo. Again, I have so many lighting setups here and it's just great to be able to jump into one and audition it and see what it looks like and be able to jump out again and solo another lighting setup. So here you can see that not only am I using the angles here to tell a story and you can see a lot of the detail is in darkness, the face is really menacing. I kind of pointed a light right at the teeth so you can see just a little bit of the teeth. We're also using colors and that's a huge thing as well. That's another lighting mistake as well is not using color because no light is 100% pure white. So even in this top light that I have here, if I go to, let's solo this light, you can see that nice rim red highlight there. Let's go and I think this is the overhead light here. You can see that I'm using temperature and color. So if I just dial in just a little bit of temperature here, I get this really nice blue and let's check out all of these together and adding colors really helps add to the believability, especially if you're just using that temperature slider here and getting that more natural warm tone or cool tones that you'll get from like the sun or ambient bounce light from the sky. So that's super important. It also helps to either cool off or warm up the overall tone of the image as well. And color can also help add to the mood. I wanted to make this very menacing. That again is the intentional choice that I wanted to make and the story I wanted to tell with this lighting. So what did I do? I added some red to this light. You can see without the red, let's actually go to this other light here as well. It's not as menacing. It's not telling the same story, right? So I'm gonna go ahead and undo that. And just by adding that red in there, just red feels like anger, passion. So be sure to think about the psychology of color. Use complimentary colors too. Think about your color theory when you are using colors with lights. So again, to light more intentionally, that looks a little menacing. Again, I wanna reiterate the fact that I can turn on all the lights in my scene by holding down shift and clicking the light solo button. You can actually see the light solo button is no longer blue. So that means that light solo is not active. But the moment I go ahead and maybe just select these mysterious lights here and click on the light solo button, it's going to turn blue, meaning that the light solo is active. And you can see that we're just soloing these mysterious lights here. And again, we're leaving a lot of the object and shadow. And we can go in here. Gonna hit the shortcut key for light solo. And you can see each contribution of each light. So this is kind of like, this is actually more of a fill light, I would say. It's always good to name your lights too. So when you are soloing each light, you know which light's doing what. And you know where to pinpoint and solo. So here's the key. You can see the key is leaving a lot of the object and shadow. And this is actually really great to elicit that sense of mystery. And one tip that I'll tell you is use the 70-30 rule where you either have 30% of your object really lit up and the other 70% in shadow. Or the opposite where you have 70% of your object in light and 30% in dark shadow. That adds a nice contrast ratio. You don't want it to be evenly split 50-50 because in design, when things are 50-50, it looks boring and the same. But the moment you add some contrast and like scale and lighting and gradients, that's when it really starts to come together. And again, I can double click on this selection object here to select some lights and hit the shortcut key to solo. And I'm again, auditioning a new lighting set up here. Where here I would say we're probably a little bit more 70 illuminated and 30% in darkness. And it's just, again, just a really nice contrast ratio. Now, if I go to this bright set up here, it's always important to also match that background illumination. If I had this pretty dark, so this is my background light here, if I just solo it, you can see that's the background light that I just brought down the light on. You can see that that's actually pretty cool with a silhouette there. But if I hold the command or control key down to turn back on all those other lights, it's actually important to match the brightness of the background with the actual brightness of the object itself. So if I bring this background light down pretty dark, you can see that it doesn't really make sense to have this very illuminated object in the foreground in a very dark background. So that's where you wanna balance things out and make it seem like the background is in the same world as this object, right? So if I bring this background up, you can see that's looking like it's a little bit more believable. They're both in the same space, the background of the object itself, and that's looking really nice. Now, maybe I decided like, okay, let's look at this kicker light. Is that too hot? I think that looks pretty good actually. And maybe I wanna move this back a little bit and let's see what kind of shape we get, how we're shaping this object just with that single light. Again, I love tweaking lighting setups and using light solo just really helps me scratch that itch to help really dial in these looks. So let me just hold the shift key down, click on light solo to turn it off. And again, that will turn on all of the lights in your scene. And I'll leave you with one last tip and that is when you are lighting here and you are having the ability to solo lights. If you ever solo a light and it's like not really adding to the lighting setup at all, like let's just say I solo these lights and maybe I have this overhead light here, maybe I turned it down, maybe when I was in my lighting setup, you know, this looked like a good idea. But if I go here and solo this overhead light, maybe I find out, maybe it's not doing all that much at all. And that's a great thing to discover when you're soloing lights. So if it's not contributing much, if I go ahead and turn back on all these other lights in this group and just kind of turn that on and off, you can see that that's really not contributing much. And in that case, it's good to remove those lights because the more lights you have in your scene, the more render time you're gonna have as well. And there's always a little back and forth with how many lights do you use in your scene. All I know is that if it looks good to you, it's good. So whether that takes two lights or 10 lights, knock yourself out, but just make sure that each light is actually doing something and accentuating a form and has a job, okay? So I don't know about you, but lighting is a lot more fun when it's this easy to be able to light and dial in lighting setups with light solo. All right, now I hope you realize now how important each and every individual light that you place in your scene really matters. And light solo is going to be able to help you see how each light is contributing and really downline each of them and push your renders to the next level and allow you to have a way more efficient and fast lighting workflow. Now, if you have any question about light solo or any of the lighting that I covered in this video, please leave those questions and comments in the comments section below. As always, I always appreciate your support. Hope you check out light solo. And if you use it and you love it, please let me know, I'd love to hear it. And as always, thank you so very much for watching and I can't wait to see you in the next one. See ya.


What is going on everybody is Stas here welcome back to another video so in today's video We're going to be doing an overall market update taking a look at the Dow Jones the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq We're also going to be doing a trading update as always talking about what I did today on the 5th of June in 2019 in terms of my trades as well as taking a look at some other stocks and ETFs that I'm personally watching Over these next couple of days and actually a person on discord messaged me a couple of stocks I'm going to be giving my thoughts and opinion all opinions on those as well as well as going into what I personally think right now About the market as you guys saw in the title of today's video is the market running on false hope right now We're going to be talking about that in today's video But before we do get it into all these different topics all I ask from you guys out there watching is if you enjoy these Videos feel free to go down below and hit that like button It really supports me and supports the channel in general and I do appreciate every single one of you guys out there The community we are building is absolutely amazing So let's just hop right into the topic of today's video starting off here with the S&P 500 The 500 largest publicly traded US companies on the stock market ended up having a very nice day today up 22 points at the close up 0.82% on the dot here the Dow Jones industrial average up point 82% at the close up 207 points and the Nasdaq had a very strong date today as well up point seven percent right now up 51 points so the market continued the rally from yesterday pretty pretty strong today And let's just go over to the S&P let's break down some technicals And we're going to notice that these three indexes they're actually all at a similar point of resistance right now Which is kind of interesting. So let's get into that right now. So the S&P 500 again We had a 22 point day, but notice how we're trending under that 50 simple moving average at the close of today's market Notice how this is a spot where a couple of weeks ago last time we had that run We actually got rejected at that 50 simple moving average resistance notice We did something very similar. We sold off for a period of a couple of days We had a couple of days of rebound then we got rejected by the 50 S&A at a lower high Notice how we just did the same thing right? We notice how you know, we sold off for a couple of days Now we've been recovering for a couple of days. So what I'm thinking right now is this could be a kind of Spot in the technicals where it's going to tell us a lot of different things It's going to tell us if we break out of this level that can be a bullish move We can be reversing to the upside from there that could be a huge sign for the upside, right? But it's also telling me if we slowly get rejected here Let's say we notice futures are down in the pre-market session tomorrow That's telling me that this downwards trending pattern that is still intact by the way guys That could be continuing, especially if we slowly start to break back into this $2,700 level because at that point, you know, we're clearly at 2825 right now. We've gotten quite a bit quite a bit above that 2,800 level of support But if we started to break back into that level of support and back into the 2,900 level That's a pretty strong confirmation in my eyes that we did get rejected by that 50 simple moving average So, you know on the 184 hour chart guys the the SMP It's clearly still down trending and this is a very critical spot So keep an eye on that also the RSI is creeping up to the overbought status. Is this a point of rejection? I'm very excited to find out so going over to the 20 day one hour We're kind of a bit higher on these charts today Obviously, then we were in yesterday's session, but we are still trending under that 180 simple moving average resistance We talked about in yesterday's video how we broke the 50 SMA here on the 20 day one hour But we were still down trending because we were still trending below the 180 SMA The same thing stands today and if we were to break out of this tomorrow Let's say over these next couple of days. That's a very big bullish move But if we got rejected here slowly started to fall back down and especially if we broke 2800 Like I said a couple of minutes ago That's going to be a huge sign that we are potentially continuing this downtrend So that's kind of what I'm watching here guys, you know the five day five minutes showing a huge reversal here But like I mentioned in every single video, it's very important to take a look at all of the different time frames So you're understanding maybe it's not reversing, you know fully, right? Maybe it's not reversing if on the 20 day and on the 30 day charts on the 90 day charts It's not out of moving averages quite yet in terms of resistance levels, right? So keep an eye on that be mindful of continuing to look at multiple time frames It will help you out. So the Dow Jones industrial average here. It's looking pretty similar in terms of Technicles as the SMP like I pointed out in the beginning of this video The markets are all at a similar point of resistance just like the SMP The Dow Jones right here is also at the 50 SMA resistance at or rather on the 184 hour chart We're also at another level of resistance, which happens to be an old support at around 25 500 So those are two separate levels of resistances. We are at right now So tomorrow is going to tell us a lot about the Dow Are we breaking out to the upside here above moving averages or are we going to get rejected here and Slowly start to push down which is going to confirm to me the continuation of the downtrend here Going over to the 20 day one hour chart very similar to the SMP We're trending between the 50 and the 180 SMAs right now kind of hovering in between and we are right under the 180 SMA here on the Dow Jones. So tomorrow very self-explanatory here like I mentioned for the SMP If we break the 180 SMA That's a huge sign that we could be bullish from there if we end up getting rejected Let's say the futures are down We could be heading down here on the Dow Jones Industrial average and I can't hammer in enough guys a lot of people, you know a lot of people are saying Oh my god, we've had two three green days now the downtrend is over, but it's not right It's not it's it's almost over, you know technically speaking if we do break out here I guess you guys can say that is a break of the downtrend, but as of right now, you know, we are still in the downtrend We are still in the downtrend So the NASDAQ here just like the other two is trending under the 50 SMA Resistance here. We're also at a point of resistance that we were at in the beginning of March right at about 7200 7250 dollars. That's a critical level for the NASDAQ Let's say we start to trend up into the seventy three hundred dollar level at that point We'll be breaking that resistance as well as the 50 SMA resistance And that's a pretty good sign there for the upswing on the NASDAQ. So the 20 day one hour chart It's kind of showing, you know A bit of support here on the 180 SMA We're actually breaking out of it as opposed to the SMP and the Dow on the 20 day One hour chart and this is a pretty good sign right now for a potential reversal on the NASDAQ But again on the 184 hour, we're still trending below that 180 SMA So I'd keep an eye and be careful, you know at these levels for the NASDAQ But it is looking like it's showing some support some consolidation on top of that 180 SMA. That's a pretty good starting sign But we are just not quite there yet for a full confirmation that we are shooting back up for the NASDAQ So like you guys read in the title of today's video, you know, I feel like the market right now Is kind of running on false hope, right? We noticed how over the past and really for the beginning of 2019 and for this whole entire year up until a couple of weeks ago The market was kind of running on false hope from Kind of being fed from Donald Trump on Twitter and the media regarding the trade war Remember how you know Trump was saying the trade war was doing so well Negotiations were doing great and in reality, they weren't doing so well They weren't going to come to an agreement And I feel like he was just saying that to kind of pump up the markets to pump optimism into You know retail investors and the whole population out there that's looking to put money into the stock market And I feel like something similar is happening right now with this fed cut We noticed how yesterday Which is really the catalyst that caused the market to go crazy yesterday The catalyst was a potential fed the interest rate cut We noticed how when the the rates go up that kind of has a negative pressure on the stock market You know people are less willing to borrow It doesn't really stimulate the economy as much as a rate cut does and what a rate cut does It pumps more optimism into the stock market It stimulates demand a bit more or the economy a bit more rather Because people are more willing to borrow and things will do better in the short term In terms of the economy if that does end up happening thus increasing and really Having the stock market do very well as a result of that so at this point, you know We haven't even gotten a confirmation that a fed rate cut is happening Which is why at this point it's kind of like false hope because we don't even know if it's going to happen Right. Who knows if the federal chair the the federal reserve chairman Jerome Powell Is he actually going to do this because he did say he's open to it But is he actually going to do this? I don't know guys and that that kind of worries me because this market could be trapping people Trapping people trapping bulls that are hopefully thinking now that oh my god fed cut that's it's going to happen It's going to happen. Right. It may be trapping them You know right before we start to sell off again because there wasn't really any Solidification that we are 100 going to get a rate cut, right? So be careful guys You know, don't get trapped this very well could be a bull trap That's just going on for a couple of days here a couple of green days on some false optimism That might not even happen right at this point, you know, it's it's just still up in the air. So be careful Uh, you know, be very careful. That's all I can say guys at this point. Um regarding that I'm personally still not 100 convinced whatsoever that we are going to the upside here I still think you know over the next couple of weeks the overall trend of the market is going to be Down but again do your own research. I personally think there's just a lot of negative pressure right now Despite this sudden optimism. I'm just not buying it guys. Uh, that's just me personally I would love to know what you guys think about that down below in the comment section And let's talk about very quickly what I did today in terms of trading I actually caught sqqq this morning as the market in specific nasdaq Was selling off a bit. There was a brief moment this morning Actually where the nasdaq was red. It was down about 30 points and it caused the sqqq to etf here Which is a leveraged etf that moves up whenever the nasdaq is selling off It caused a big spike in this and although I did catch it Quite a bit late. I did not get in down here at the 42 40 level I got in at the 43 40 level roughly at about 10 30 am at this point If you guys can see 10 30 am it's pretty late to the party, right? But I noticed how aggressive sqqq was moving and slash and q at 10 30 am if we can see where it was It was selling off pretty aggressively starting at about 9 45 10 am and then at 10 am it started to sell off even more aggressively and I figured I'll take a trade in sqqq at that point. I was looking at it very closely I was ready to cut my losses or just stop out of it You know if it were to maybe sell off But I was able to grab a quick little 0.5 out of it because I was able to get in at a point in time where It was still running up pretty aggressively, but I didn't grab as much As my goal was usually my goal is about one 1.5 percent, but we can see you know I got in at 43 40 roughly And I was holding it all the way through this first pullback until the second peak which was about A 1% trade there, but then once we started to sell off aggressively and especially when we broke this Old resistance new support at around 43 66 I figured to take my profits there play it safe at about a 0.55 0.6 Profit so that was a very quick in and out trade on s Qqq and from there the markets soared up you guys saw nasdaq was up like 0.7 0.8 Which ended up closing sqqq in the red down nearly a dollar down 2.28 At the close so that's what I ended up doing today in terms of my trading guys not again Not a crazy day There honestly hasn't been much movement in my accounts over these past couple of days mostly just been in and out And spectated in the market because I I personally think The market is just setting up and trapping some bulls right now And it's looking to potentially reverse hero in the next couple of days to the downside That's what i'm personally thinking right now And i'm just gearing up my cash getting ready for maybe another s qqq play where The profits may be way bigger if we do see a big dump on the market You know s qqq can fly up 6 percent, you know sp x s which has been getting beaten down This can fly up five six seven percent You know if the markets do end up selling off and i'm just waiting for that guys right now These are both looking pretty juicy, you know our sides are oversold Both are at nice dip buys from their peaks a couple of days ago I'm just waiting for the reversal right now my uh spidey senses My gut is telling me that it's coming and i'm just going to be waiting for that So those are two might as well start off the uh what i'm watching part of the video right now Those are two that i'm watching sp x s s q q q sp x s in particular trades on the s and p 500 It goes up when the s and p is going down and like we said before s q q q goes up on Whenever the nasdaq is selling off. So those are the correlations for the etf's and i also had like i mentioned the beginning of the video A subscriber actually messaged me on discord to talk about two stocks. Let's do that right now I believe one of them was berkshire hathaway brk slash b and this one It's looking pretty decent right now pretty good actually for a reversal. We're noticing how um down or went down from 218 down to about 197 it seems like if i just get my uh Uh resistance support tool right here seems like it ended up holding holding a strong level of support out around 197 198 Which is good. We're trending up over the past couple of days My guess is that the markets have obviously been bouncing back a lot of stocks have been bouncing back That is why berkshire has pretty much just been following that which kind of makes me a bit worried because If my theory plays out here that the markets are going to continue their sell off over these next couple of days Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not the next day, but at some point You know, this can be a trap as well where it seems like it's been following the markets down now Following the markets back up. Maybe it'll trap us here if the markets sell off and we might be pushing back down on it That is something that's a bit risky here, which in my opinion You know, i'm probably going to be staying away from it because again, I don't want to get in this bull trap but let's just say the markets do reverse and BRK the follows the markets, you know What i'm going to be looking at that point is let's say we break above this 203 204 level of resistance Which is strong and coming up, you know, we could be moving back up from 204 up to the next spot Which is going to be roughly 207 so at this point, you know, the rsi is over but that's a bit concerning as well But a good thing is over the past couple of trading days again The markets have been recovering which in my opinion influences this price a lot But we broke above that 50 simple moving average resistance That's a good bullish sign on BRKB here And what I would like to see ideally before entry if I do enter this again I don't think I'm I don't think i'm personally going to at this point because I like focusing more on my strategy with the ETFs But what I would like to see is a pullback a retest on that 50 s and may support Maybe at about 200 maybe at about 202 and from there that'll bring the rsi down a bit That could be a better entry up to the resistance at about 204 And if we broke 204 that could be a spot to add more money into it if you're swing trading right And from there you can hold it up to 207 if it does end up going to the top of that channel And from there if we're going to the uh drawing tool very quickly the trend line tool You can see it's about a 2% margin of profit from where it is right now. Let's say you got in at 202 That's about a 2.65 margin of profit up to $207 so That's kind of the breakdown right now in brkb a bit nervous that it's just simply following the trend of the market And if the market dumps it'll follow it back down But I still figured I'd break it down because a discord member again Messaged me about this and I do like breaking down stocks that you guys shout out and please Feel free to DM me any stocks and I'll talk about them in this video So another one was cat ticker symbol cat kind of in a similar situation to berkshire here It's been following the markets down You know industrials get hit pretty hard when we're in a trade war tariffs Those hit industrials very heavily and you can see how hard it got hit back in october And now you know like I said just like brkb we're trending above the 50 sma here on the 184 hour chart That's a pretty good sign of a reversal We're looking to hold that level as a new support, but we're not fully doing that quite yet Actually, we are but we're not fully confirming the bounce off of the support level Which is what I would like to see before entering here But again, I'm not too convinced on cat fully reversing here If the markets and the trade war tensions continue to impact the market, which I personally think they will I think cat is just going to continue to fall Unfortunately because like we said industrials, you know, just take a look at some of the other companies guys, you know boeing, you know cat A bunch of these they just get hit hard during times like this, especially with the china trade war So i'd be careful with cat But we are looking to break back into a zone here between 122 which is a support. We are noticing that we're holding right now Right since we are above 122 or at 123 right now and you guys, you know, if we hold this level We slowly start to trend back up. I'd wait for a potential Resistance at about 128 dollars, which is this next one that i'm seeing here So it's looking pretty good, right? We would just need to see a pop and a just a confirmation of the bounce on the 50 sma to the upside here There could be some potential so some other ones that i'm watching here heading into tomorrow guys You know, we're seeing coca-cola here ended up filling that gap from 49 to 50 Now we're all the way up to 51 looking to pull back So if this one's pulling back from 51 down to about 50 ideally That could be a nice pullback entry on coca-cola as it potentially, you know Holds this resistance as a new support and slowly starts to pop back up to 51 dollars This could be a nice tip by but we need to see it pull back first ko I'm watching that one very closely notice how j and j is out of 50 sma resistance right now This could be a nice play if it does end up breaking out of that resistance from there We could be heading back up to 137 which is right under that 180 sma You know pretty much a trade between the 50 sma and the 180 sma right in between the moving averages That could be a nice play there 2% on j and j margin of profit We saw disney today guys. This one's spiked up very very big right here noticing It's kind of breaking down or breaking out of this little downwards Channel that it's kind of been in over these past couple of trading days So this could be a pretty bullish move on disney keep an eye on it Maybe it's going back up to the 140 level. Who knows this looks pretty bullish though in my eyes right now Another one that did very well today was cron guys the return of the marijuana stock cron We haven't talked about this in a very long time. This one's actually right out of critical spot I think if we break this 180 sma on a technical basis, that could be a huge bullish move on cron You guys can see it's up 10% today. I'm watching this one for a potential rally from here So those are just a couple of stocks and ETFs that I'm watching guys I hope you all enjoyed this video if you did feel free to drop a like leave a comment down below and subscribe to the Channel if you're new check out one of these other videos if you guys want or just bored and you want to Just learn more about the stock market whatever go watch one of these videos I guarantee you guys will find a ton of value in them I appreciate every single one of you out there that watch this video to the end to the middle of the video if you're new I appreciate you sticking through you guys are awesome.

Don't mistake the triumphant-sounding language that hope sometimes employs for certainty. Hope has doubts. Hope is not the result of a dispassionate analysis of the evidence. Hope is not a confident projection of a probable future. Hope is not optimism. Hope is defiance in the face of bleak circumstances. Hope is resistance to despair when despair seems like a much more reasonable choice. Hope is our protest against the inhumanity of the human species. Hope is most necessary precisely when it is most absurd.


Former governor of a number of state, Peter Albi, has dumped the People's Democratic Party PDP and his presidential ambition. He explained that recent developments within the party were responsible for his resignation from the opposition party and withdrawal from its presidential primary slated for the end of May. Albi was one of the 15 PDP presidential aspirants cleared by Senator David Marke led presidential screening committee last month. The party had recently thrown its presidential ticket open, attracting rebuke from social cultural organizations like Ohane's in Dibu which maintained that political parties like the PDP and the APC should zone their tickets to the southeast geopolitical zones. We're joining us to discuss these are Opponabo Incotario, a political analyst, and Izigal Nyaito, who's a politician. Thank you so much gentlemen for joining us. Thanks for having us. Great. Mr Nyaito, I'll start with you because you have been a PDP member before. And I remember the last time we had a conversation you talked about some of the things that happened within the People's Democratic Party, you know, internal democracies wise.   Yes, I have been a member of the PDP for a very long time. And in the year 2010, I woke up one morning called a press conference and resigned my membership of the PDP. It was at a time that I was enjoying everything that could be enjoyed in the PDP relationship from the presidency to my state, to my governor. And everything was going well for me by way of being a party man. As a matter of fact, if you look in the social media, you'll see my son, my first son Aniekan, having a handshake with Mr President then in his office. Not a one-on-one with Mr President while I had a one-on-one with my governor. So everything was going well. But I asked myself, is this really what I want as a person? And the answer was obviously no. PDP had all the opportunities, everything that was needed for it to be in power for the next 60 years. But they lost the vision. They lost the focus. It became not longer that vehicle of governance, but a kind of, you know, game of thrones, the powers. It was about the paraphernalia of the office, the powers of the office. It was not about governance anymore. And I couldn't stand it. Fast forward. What happened? They lost five governors and they said, oh, it doesn't matter. It couldn't be bothered. If nothing will happen, we'll still be in power. I called them and said there's something really wrong fundamentally. Think about it. Oh, you are being intellectual. Forget it. Bottom line, they lost election. Now today, the two most viable candidates, three, let me say three, three most viable courted candidates are from the PDP. Who are they? Juan Cueso today, due by any rating, is the man that controls enough. Mr. Peter Obi, by any and in fact, is one of the biggest news and there was no news if you were not something from the PDP. And third, even former president Jonathan, who is being courted for more reasons than one, is from the PDP and PDP has let the three of them go without thinking. So I think that Mr. Peter Obi is a friend and he's a very intellectual person. He's a very calculating person. And he's wanted to show himself, prove himself. So he got to the Nigerian public and he showed himself. Nigerians bought him and he was expecting that PDP will think for the first time in a long time. But and he pushed it till when the window was about to close and he said, guy, I can't take this anymore. But always, I think he knew that there was a plan B. It's like a discussion that I had with Mr. Juan Cueso, who is my very good friend as well.  He said, look, I'm a politician. I've been into politics. If I go into primaries, he said, this guy, he called four, two, three, four names, big names. He said, each of them will beat him in the primaries. Each of them will beat him silly in the primaries. Oh, I think that we lost that connection with Mr. Nyaito. Mr. Nyaito, can you hear me? I think that we lost that connection. Okay, open up. I'm going to toss to you until we get him back. A lot of people have called out former governor, Peter, I'll be saying that this is a huge mistake and that he probably didn't think it over before making this move. But do you think this was a huge mistake on his part, leaving the PDP? Well, I don't think so. I mean, Peter will be probably one of the definitely two that have committed on the actions, on the steps it was to take, would have weighed the pros and cons and probably convinced that, yes, this was the best option for him. Obviously, he wasn't quite as explicit in his letter, no doubt about that. But the truth is, Peter will be, it's from a zone where you have more candidates with less delegates, that is one. And there is the possibility that definitely he wasn't going to win the primaries. And so he felt there are no points continuing with it because you have how many candidates from the South East. And when you look at the delegates, how many delegates do they have, although the South East has? So obviously, it's a blind alley. And also, he felt that his chances in the PDP had quite been because of the number of candidates there.  So that he has the cloud, he has the acceptability, the legitimacy and so on. But definitely that would have been quite difficult to achieve in the PDP. We had the spaces to a very large extent constricted. And I think that's why he defected. He withdrew from the PDP and also from the primaries and also defected. You said that he left because you think it's the number of delegates that he had from his zone and he saw... The chances, in some other day chances, no less delegates, more aspirants. But, I mean, if it was just that, couldn't he have just stepped down and thrown his support behind someone else? As he did the last time when he supported former Vice President Atikua Bubaka. And I'm not insinuating that he should support him this time. But I'm saying, could he have not supported somebody else, maybe, from the South? You know, that definitely is not an option. But I don't forget that there is a ten warning from the leaders of the South that they should never play the second thing over. That is number one. And number two, he's not ready. He wants to be depressive. So he's not ready to be the Vice President to anybody. If not even to his fellow equal brother. He doesn't believe that they are better. He believes he's better. But probably he's not going to achieve that dream, realize that dream on the platform of the PDP. And if there are chances that he's going to realize that dream, that dream will go to crucial, on the platform of any other political party, then why not he? Why not defect? There's nothing wrong with that. There's actually nothing wrong with that. Well, as we all know, and those of us who've been watching social media, we could see that that same evening where he posted his resignation from the People's Democratic Party, he was seen shaking hands and meeting with the presidential candidate of the NNPP, which is former governor, which also has raised the eyebrows. Now, you just mentioned that the South and the leaders have also, you know, sternly warned candidates or rather aspirants not to play second fiddle. If he's going to a political party where, and I'm saying this because I have interviewed the leadership of that party and they had said succinctly to me that they have an unopposed presidential candidate. If this be true, what is former governor Peter will be doing courting the NNPP leader, or rather presidential aspirants? Well, these are mere conjectures that we have to extrapolate from what we see. No doubt about that. Not that we are quite sure of the facts. You might see him with Kwakwa and so on, but that does not mean that he's going to be the vice president, running me to Kwakwa, not necessarily. We are not central. We are also here that he might probably get to help you. We are also here at the NNPP, my family also gets help. These are mere conjectures also. We are not subtle. I don't think that Peter of you will deflect from the Philippine to any other party to be the vice presidential candidate of that party. Then it really makes no sense because I really want to part from the use-nobleness and such an act. You can as well be the vice presidential candidate and imagine a candidate rather than defend. But again, probably he's done his own homework to realize who is going to imagine a presidential candidate and is not comfortable or that person already has his own vice presidential candidate. You know, these are all things that, that's why I said the letter is not explicit enough, you know. So these are things that you have considered and did not bring to public knowledge because it did not actually give any cogent reason for deflecting from the Philippine. So he must have taken all these issues of advisement. Is it am I going to be a presidential candidate or these other presidential candidates? We don't already have a presidential candidate. They want to lie to them in the Philippine. Let it deflect from the Philippine to a party where I might likely be the presidential candidate or a running candidate to the presidential candidate. So these are all the connotations. These are all the considerations that he must have, that must have informed his decision to move from the Philippine to another political party that he has to be disclosed to public. Alright, Ms. Nyaituk, I think we have you back.  But I'm going to quickly pose this question. Many have also criticised the former governor of being a serial defector that he moved from ACA to the PDP and now he's defecting again, who knows where he's going to and that this might not necessarily play, you know, in his favour. But then again, my other question is, what does this do to the ambition of the South East being that within the APC, I mean, aside from the abhorning state governor who is interested in running for the presidency, we had Rochester, the senator and of course, Governor Peter Obey in the PDP. What happens to that South East presidential ticket call? I think that what Mr. Peter Obey has done is probably one of the best chances that the South East has to produce a president. How so? You know, yes, I'll tell you this. The very first thing is that within the two main political parties, the chances of any of the people from the South East getting the ticket is as slim as it can be.  One of the things we've not taken into consideration is understanding the current electoral act and in this current electoral act, we are going to have six to eight months of campaigning. So what Mr. Peter Obey is going to do is take a party, run and gather momentum. Mr. Kwan Kwanso is going to take a party, he's already got a party, run and gather momentum. As they head into around September, it will be clear who is a principal and who is not. The ADC, you would have, I mentioned this in the morning during the newspaper review, just two days back paraded 12 presidential aspirants. Nigerians couldn't believe the quality of the people, everything. Now what we are starting to have is an animation of a mindset reset. Wow, there is an option, there is an alternative. Yes, they are in their enclaves, but because these people are largely motivated by the fact that APZPVP ideology philosophy has failed and is not okay, they are now pandering to what Nigerians would want to see and hear. To that extent, we are coming and putting the fact that it's about nation first, Nigeria first, where happened to be the DGP. As a result, as each of them gathers momentum individually, the ADC is there, no going to have a presidential candidate that is going to be very strong, NNPP is there, SDP is there, my friend Wale Ade Wale is there doing well as well, so that around September, October, there is going to be a second level of talking about Nigeria, putting Nigeria first, put Nigeria above your personal ego, put Nigeria above your personal concerns, and there is going to be that conversation and convergence, and it is at that point that you now start to forget about your ego, I must be, I must not be, you are willing to put down in the larger interest of the nation and form a government of national unity. I foresee clearly. I love that optimism and where it's coming from, and I don't also want to be a prophet of doom, but looking at our antecedents and how we are when it comes to politicking, we've seen it play out, we've seen it play out cycle in cycle out. How many politicians, even with what is playing out now, how many of them are showing off signs of nationhood as opposed to interest? What has ever happened in Nigeria. Yeah, but you know what they say, the merit that's going to be good, you can tell from the bachelor's eve, so now, right now, can we really see any display of nationhood as opposed to what you're saying that we will begin to see? I don't know when. It's a process that Kwan Kwanso will come out and stand alone that ADC will come out and have 12 presidential candidates and if you profile each of them, they are women and men of substance that Peter Obi will come out. You see, we can't always be victims of our past. We need to be able to open up and smell the coffee. I'll tell you this. PDP thought this way when they said they were being powerful for 60 years because they thought that you cannot defeat an incumbent. Nigerians did that. End cells happened where we thought young people would not be able to organize themselves. It happened. Nigeria is a country that you can never say never. Okay. And finally, let me end on this note. It is for you and I to dare to be optimistic. Okay. We can't go between blind analysis. We must have that second cap of daring to be optimistic. Okay. I could hear you giggle. I asked that question because the mind of the average voter is what we're playing at here. Now, we like the idea that there are more people that are coming up. Political parties are beginning to own their place in the political space. But how do you sway these voters away from the umbrella and the broom? I mean, I like the fact that, as he said, the ADC has 12 political presidential aspirants, something that's never really happened before. But then the voters who we're targeting here, have we gotten to that point where we have outgrown the PDP and the APC and then begin to say, well, I'm not going to vote for the party. I'm going to vote for a person. Let me tell you the question. The question is for Punebo. I was one of those that criticized the Supreme Court that said you vote for the parties that are not the individuals. Because in Nigeria, the political parties are not the others. And in Nigeria, I had a lecture vote for the individuals. They had got for that and so on. They don't vote for parties. Today, your principle is a member of PDP. And it depends to another political party. All his phone has to be fetched into that political party. It has nothing to do with the party. It has to do with your principle. So if Pito B has the cloud, for example, as he's leaving the PDP, just as when the left one looked at that, those who were there, he's left the PDP. Now he's leaving the PDP. They will all leave the PDP. If you do any political party, it's going to. So it has nothing to do with the political party. Because we do all like America where you have ideologies and you believe in the party ideology.  In Nigeria, it's all like that.  So when it comes to full ration, it's definitely not going to affect Pito B. Because he's going to leave with those that believe in him and those that see him as a mentor. That is the truth about it. Well, gentlemen, time is not on our side. Well, let's hope upon hope that things would change for the better. Uppunaboyingkotaira is a political analyst. Izikal Nyaituk is a politician. Thank you very much, gentlemen, for speaking with us. Thank you. Good to be here. All right. Well, thank you all for staying with us. We have come to the end of the show tonight. But don't forget, tomorrow is another day. Of course, we will be talking for development at 7 p.m. right here on Plus Politics. I'm Mary Annakul. Have a great evening.
