Hello everybody, good evening and welcome to this last appointment for the series of webinars. Let's discover the volumetric trading platform. I guess all of you can see my shared screen showing you the disclaimer as far as I'm concerned this webinar. Today we will be talking about the final part of the entire list of topics we have talked about for these 10 weeks. So finally we're going to talk about a very simple and quick setup you can use to validate all of the informations you can achieve through the analysis of the many indicators and tools showing what volume actually is telling you about the price of, for example, so this is something that you combine with the volume profile, something you can combine with an evidence given by the VWAP, it is something you can combine with the informations given to you by the volanalyzer plugin, so Delta and so on. So finally today it will be something that will finalize a little bit what we have talked about over these weeks. Before we get started let me just remind you those are the last days you can benefit from the promo on in collaboration between TickMeal and volumetric trading, sorry just give me a second so I can show you, okay, here is the story about that. If you are a TickMeal customer already you can get the VWAP platform for a special price with special conditions, if you are not TickMeal customers yet you can still ask for volumetric team for a free demo by filling out the contact for the volumetric trading website and for anything concerning the topics we have talked about over this webinar please feel free to email me at the Be Educators page, this is my email address you can email me and ask information about things we have talked about so maybe how to use an indicator, how to set that volume profile and so on I'll be glad to give you a reply. All right so let's get started and last time and we get on what we were saying last time about footprint chart. So footprint chart we said this is the main tool, a word of flow analysis, one of the most popular tools used to conduct the proper order flow analysis and as we were saying last time it provides us precious information about how the price is actually exchanging in terms of interactions of buyers compared to sellers over a specific price area or over a specific range of prices and last time we were talking about two different evidences that footprint can give you. The first one is given by the horizontal delta, the calculation of which is given by the color you can see here on the cells of the footprint candle so where we have green, dark green coloration colors that means that we have here an interest more, an interest in more buying, aggressive buying over that level than compared to sellers and this is something that it shows immediately as looking at the chart. So you can just have a look at where the darker shades of green and red occur and then just at a glance you have an idea where buyers are more interested to buy and sellers are more interested to sell. The other evidence is given by imbalances. So we said imbalances occur when you have pink coloration, magenta coloration here of the numbers so when instead of black when you have a number inside the candle colored in magenta that means that an imbalance has occurred. What is an imbalance? It is buyers, if we have a buying imbalance we have buyers overcoming the number of buyers, overcoming the number of sellers by six times according to these specific settings that we're talking about over the last two webinars, six times. Okay so of course as you can see we have 16 here buyers, 16 buyers here than compared to two sellers being located at the lower level than the one where the imbalance is being shown that shows that making a diagonal comparison between buyers and sellers we have buyers being six times the sellers actually and unlike horizontal delta there was the one I was telling you earlier so showing by the color of the squares here showing interest of buyer more than sellers imbalance shows pressure so when we have an imbalance we always have an evidence of price starting to move quickly in a direction rather than the other one okay so there are actually many other informations you can achieve through the footprint chart like for example where buyers get trapped or sellers get trapped sometimes we can also detect where stop loss of other traders get triggered but this is something more advanced in terms of analysis we don't necessarily of course if you want to read the footprint chart very in a very accurate way we need to know this all but if we want to just conduct a simple but proficient analysis uh we just need two main evidences that means let me just summarize it this way wall a wall built by volume followed by pressure so both of these elements are expressed very well by the by both evidence I was telling you about a little bit ago because actually a wall we have a wall given by dark red colors or dark green colors the color being dark that means that lots of volume has been traded on that level in that direction but then of course it has to be combined to price action so let's assume for example here I had lots of buying pressure did the price actually move up so that means where buyers they've bought they've bought a lot but with all of that buying where they able to move the price where they want and so upwards question mark will give an answer to this a bit and then after pressure what is pressure what what does express pressure in balances actually so buyers getting more aggressive and six times sellers or vice versa sellers being more aggressive than buyers and six times that if we combine those two points together we will have a very simple way to understand how prices are interacting over a specific level and first of all mostly how buyers are interacting with sellers because we have the biggest evidence of wall building when when we have there are just so many examples in the chart because actually market is always exchanging the very same way every time we have we can spot many sellers so we have an evidence of many sellers interested is interested to sell but price responds immediately going the other way this is why I was talking about wall about the wall that has formed over a specific price area why how can we read this information interpret this information how come couldn't price move lower considering there were lots of sellers selling apparently if we get back to the market structure market microstructure sorry we have talked about a couple uh weeks ago how is it that possible the only way something like that could be possible it's because apparently there were there many by limit orders so passive buyers being on the order book on the ladder absorbing all of this selling pressure being on at a certain stage then even if this I even if they sold a lot I've just stopped selling but a lot of pressure has occurred on that level so this is what creates a wall into the market this is also what is called absorption this is another actually representation of what absorption is we have we have talked about many other things over the last week so how to the how we can detect absorption in different ways using delta using volume profile levels and so on but this is uh how tick by tick and absorption takes place and this is actually a wall market was trying to push lower just uh it didn't make it but is this enough is this really enough to tell from here market will just turn around the other direction well not really not really but this is for sure what it gives us the evidence of a support detected by the order flow sorry my mouse is not collaborating today when we have an absorption an absorption as an order flow event we can consider that as a support because the action of by passive buyers uh blocking actually sellers means that that was anyway even if there was a huge amount of selling it was it is still a level where buying as one so we can consider this order flow event as a support as a proper support not given by a price level or a graphical pattern it's just an order flow support a support even by an order flow evidence okay let me just quickly see the chat i can see there is oh yeah i thought there was a question i just said that's absorption exactly exactly very very very good this is a proper absorption and actually as you can see it also happened in another bar earlier as i was talking about the wall and the balance and whatever here it happened it happened once again also here well price was already moving higher was already trending up just started a slight retracement here sellers came in came into the market tried to push price lower but actually all of these sellers were completely absorbed and price started to move upwards continuing the previous trend okay once again can you see here lots of selling lots of selling prices moving slowly upwards but we can already tell here price is building is trying to build a support okay as i was saying this is a very good support actually i'll tell you why in a bit but a support it always needs to be confirmed in order for us to make a trading decision on that level on that order flow event why because yeah that means that's true this support price has been hold held okay so it can be considered as a support but even if buyers at one there is also lots of selling in this area i mean this is objective we can we can tell there is lots of selling interest in this area so is that is that really enough for for a long trade as soon as we see a support not really why because considering there is over an absorption area lots of selling pressure that means that many traders were anyway interested to sell that level and we won't have price be trading the other way until we see buyers aggressively coming in coming into the market after the absorption has happened here specifically i said this was a good support well it looked like a good support even if it just got broken i can't go after that but still it is why because we have a wall being built with three different levels of absorptions we have as light as you can see here in balance 27 buyers over four sellers there is just something missing buyers keeping on buying and first of all we don't have that much of an evidence right here at this level so if you want to be using this principle of order flow event so we want to double check if a support is going to hold we always need to wait for a first evidence that this level is being treated as a support both in terms of order flow and also in terms of price action we would we need to see price moving away a little bit not that much i mean a move that we can notice a noticeable moving away process from that area and then observing what happens when that area gets pulled back because in this sense what happens normally when those areas of absorption gets pulled back we can either have another absorption so exactly over that area we have the very same thing otherwise we can see an exhaustion so low volume trading over an area where at the previous trading moment we're exchanging lots of volume absorb absorption always take place with with high volume but as we said when we have lots of high volume we always add we also add acceptance of price so there is interest to transact in that price area price prepares to move away from an acceptance area when low volume trades in that area after price was held with high volume so ideally either we have another absorption at the same level confirming we had that support which is actually being treated as a support once again otherwise we need to see an exhaustion so basically price comes back doing something like it did let me show you an example if i can find one yeah some well not the best actually i'm gonna find one soon yeah something like this so we can also have a look together at the different of a selling absorption here we had buyers not making it to move the market all right dark green bar moving down when price pulls back do we have another absorption not at all as we have light colors shading but what do we have an exhaustion can you see that in the same area volume trading is very low compared to the previous candle where absorption took place this also counts as a possible confirmation because if absorption creates a support exhaustion or a resistance as in this case exhaustion doesn't really create a support or resistance it occurs just because buyers or sellers just stop buying or selling so price can react quickly after an exhaustion but is not a level that will hold because of a high volume as big trade over there so in this case when we have an exhaustion along with the exhaustion on one side in this case the buyer side we can see nobody was selling here buy sorry here compared to here what do we need to have the whole structure confirmed we need then sellers starting to get more aggressive so we need to see selling in balance to the opposite side to the absorption sorry exhaustion expressed by not so much buying or here in this case if that happens pulling back previous absorption then we have our all the flow events confirmed and we can make a trade decision of course this is not a setup I mean it can evolve in a setup but there are many variables to be looking at but as a as a sequential as a sequence of events if it's definitely something really really powerful because if you combine these to structural level to volume profile levels to many things we have talked about over the last weeks then you will notice that on important levels especially volume profile levels north and south of distributions we will always have an indication given by the order flow or what the price is creating that structural level of the order flow of the volume profile and this is something that I really it is quite hard to explain explain all of the variables in just an hour but I really hope all of you could could use can use in the in the future this concept you have talked about in this in this series of webinar and of course if you want feel free to email me and ask some more questions I'm just going to answer to Luku which we have for ask me a questions here in the chat if I have an account with tickmail that I can only get both his platform with his offer all right yes yeah the the offer the specific offer applies to both his platform so basically the discounted price but still if you want to add some other tools some other plugins that will just come with the plane with the plane price but actually you can you can do it you can do you can add the other tools by starting the I'll show you very quickly here in my screen all right so if we sorry all done here we go okay so if we once you start the the purchasing process then at a certain stage you will ask if you want to add some more some more tools like for example yeah the volanalyzer plugin we were talking about a couple weeks ago or if you want to buy the ball book the ball book platform which is another which is another different platform we haven't covered with this series of webinar but anyway you can have discounted price for the boss's platform which is the main the main platform actually to be using what we said over these over these weeks and then also do you have any educational video about the platform could you show us to connect out the data feed or stock trading via footprint chart yes then is the Volsys platform an advanced dome like jigsaw trading or book map yes Volsys platform comes with an advanced dome which is something that you can open like these if we start from the main menu and we choose new yeah between the options we have an advanced dome and of course we have to choose the instrument we want to have that shown on and then here it is so then we can customize the columns in terms of colors in terms of if we can trade the dome level just by clicking here on the right or left to the price if we want to according if you want to put a sale or buy another and so yeah this is a hundred percent customers you can and depth of market you can customize and also add column to to it like for example if you want to see the limit orders being shown as volume profile or just numbers okay all right I thank all of you for your attention it has been really a pleasure for me being together over these 10 weeks if you want some help just email me I'll be glad to give you a reply I wish you a good evening, good trading and thanks again

Graduates work in consulting, construction, production, research and development, teaching, management and sales. All engineering majors are highly structured with competitive admission. Admission criteria and competitiveness vary by major, but admitted applicants have strong grades in first year math, science and engineering courses. Because of this, if you're considering an engineering major, it's very important to discuss your interests as early as possible with an engineering advisor. If you do not yet meet the eligibility criteria to apply to your desired engineering major, you might be eligible to declare pre-engineering while working on the rest of your admission requirements. To declare pre-engineering, you must have at least a 2.5 OSU GPA and a C- or higher in Math 1151, and either Chemistry 1210, Chemistry 1250, Physics 1250 or Biology 2100. Pre-major status has no bearing on admission to the full major, so exploration students are just as competitive as pre-engineering students when applying to any engineering major. To find out more about engineering majors or declare the pre-major, meet with an engineering advisor. Contact information is available at advising.engineering.osu.edu. As always, you are welcome to meet with any advisor in university exploration if you have follow-up questions. You can schedule an appointment by calling<PHONE_NUMBER> or stopping by our office in 352 Denny Hall.


And who did it? Check it, check it, check it, it's a unique hustle. It's your boy, E-C-E-O.  Hey, man, what's going on, man? Hey, man, we got a special guest today, man. This brother right here don't need no introduction, man. He been everywhere doing everything here lately. I don't know where he come from, like he just come out of nowhere to be honest with you, man. I did. Man, my boy, hey, my boy shot at low juniors in the building, man. Man, what's happening, man? It's a pleasure to be here. I thank y'all for having me. Hey, man, boy, when I look at it, I just think about your dad. That ain't gonna lie, man. That's the first thing you said. I ain't never seen him in my life when you shot at low juniors. I knew it. He probably get that a lot, man. So, man, what's up, man? I want to say you from Bowen Home, but is that correct? Right. Because I really didn't know if you grew up over there. But just give me a rundown on who you are and kind of how it all began. Oh, like how it all began with me. Would you? No, no. Would you just coming up as a kid? Oh, well. Oh, we go all the way back. Okay. All the way back. You know, all right, man. Shot at low juniors, AKA Harlow Walker, you know. My dad is who he is. Shot at low Bankhead, Bowen Homes, you know, all that. And that's me, Bankhead, Bowen Homes. I moved to the south side of Atlanta when I was like, let's say 12, 13. That's old national college park area. Just growing up like with a father and a mom like that, because they really both hustled. You know, my mom used to kind of work for that. Okay.  Like all day long, man. We had the three shifts, you know, it was three, eight hour shifts. So it was people, you know, it was a different set and they just used to come through all day. And sometimes we didn't even get to the kids. We there and we don't even get to go home. So, you know, it's been there three, four, five in the morning. None of them are falling asleep. Man, like, hey, bro, when we going home? Man, on that we here for the night. Just, you know, sound like them too. The crazy part is the age you're saying that they were going down at. And I know because I used to hustle too. So I get it. So you were actually in the midst like you've seen, you've seen the drugs. Oh, yeah. You've seen what was popping. The money counter. The money counter. You knew that sound. Yeah, I was trying to tell you. It was crazy.  He said, I would get it. I thought everybody would get it. Like, he would say, I get 100,000 at a time. He said, I thought everybody was doing it because I was doing it. I felt that when he said it. So you've seen all of this going on. I'm seeing it, man. As a kid, you know, like around the ages, four, five, six and seven and stuff like that. So I'm seeing it. But you know, as a kid, you don't really know what's going on. But you've seen it. But you don't know. You think it's normal. Yeah. So you think this is normal, but it's really not.  I like, you know, I've been in the hood, like playing football, like with the neighborhood kids and stuff. And then, you know, I see my dad coming around the corner running. And then after that, I see the police coming around the corner too. So, but I seen him on his phone and it was later came outside. So, so he was running and she came outside and he ran to her house. So when the police came around the corner, she was like, he ran that way. But he really ran in the house. So he had to call her. I was like, look at this. I'm like, well, this is like a movie. Yeah. Yeah. Like, no, for real. Like, man, I've seen a lot. Drive-by's. I don't see people get shot. Kill. Like James at the door. Like all type of stuff. Like, man, I don't see it at all. So what got you into sports? Cause you ended up playing football early on. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So my mom, she used to hustle. You know, too. But, um, you know, and I was always good at football.  When I was young, so I used to suck. But on football, I was the truth. You the dog. Oh, yeah. So I was the truth.   So I told her, I say, mom, I'm going to the league. You know what I mean? I'm gonna take care of you. Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, that was just my passion and my dream at the time. So, you know, I just stayed focused with it. And, you know, um, high school, college, um, I was, I actually was talking to, um, Georgia State and Sam Houston and stuff. But my senior year. Excuse me. My senior year. I hurt my arm back. So, you know, and people were like, you know, I just want to see if you can still play. So I went to, um, a junior college in Cali. But then when I came back for Thanksgiving break, that was 2012. That's when I got in trouble and I didn't go back.  Did that open doors for you? Or did that cause issues for you? Um, meaning like I ain't showing this nigga no favoritism cause he started low sun. See, but that was actually good though.  Because, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm out here.  It was like sometimes like when, like when I was playing bad and stuff and they'll take me out of the game and my dad and my mom at the game. I'm like, coach, we need to put him in the game. He was like, I don't care cause your dad up there. I don't care about him being shorted low. Shit.   So I look bad and my dad watching. He like, what's going on? Like, you done got yourself in the jam. Like, yeah.  That builds, that builds integrity and ethics too, man. And that made me want to work harder, get better, you know, cause I wanted my parents to see me do good and you know, sign and stuff. So it that made me focus more too. What about your siblings, man? Did any one of the other ones play football? No, I only got one older brother. Okay. Yeah. So, you know, he did, he do what he do. He had been doing music since he was 13 and everything, you know, but I don't know if he really ever took it. Serious? Serious, yeah.  You know what I'm saying? And I'm excited about it. What did you think about it? Money Moses? I want to know what was the best thing that you got from your daddy when he was selling drugs that made you think positive. I'm not going to do this. What was the best thing that came to your mind? I'm not going to do this.  So, like, I seen him getting chased by the police. I seen him shooting at people. I said, I don't see people get shot and die. I was like, man, you know, I don't want to live like this. I don't want to be a part of that. Yeah. You know, I want to be different. You know what I mean? You know, I want to help people and I want to just be good and have somebody proud of me. You know, and in that aspect, not saying that people wasn't proud of my dad, but you know, he was doing what he was doing, but he was doing it for a good reason. Yeah. Like, so he took care of the neighborhood. Like, like he paying the whole hood rent, like taking care of everybody. You know what I mean? So he was doing what he was doing, but it was for good, though. Yeah. But you don't... It ain't good in the other folks' eyes. Right. No, it ain't. It ain't. It's always a good thing for us, because we see it, but it's like... How they look at it, it's like you're doing too much. You taking care of the hood. It's like, they don't want that to see. They don't want to see you do good in the hood. So they're going to make a way for you to be... I agree with that. They're going to make a way for you to be in the hood. I see the D4L change, man. I remember back when I didn't even know who Charlotte Lowe was. I really... I just seen them niggas just doing the dance and you know, I ain't seen Charlotte Lowe and none of that. I'm being real. Like, he was on the backside when that was going on. Right. And I was like, dang, man. He was in jail then. Well... Was he in jail? Prison then. He was in prison then. But he still... He started it. Right. That's crazy. How did that... Okay, how did that start out? And I don't know the history of it, but how did that... From your perspective, how did it... You say he was in jail then, how did they even get that off the ground and then how did he orchestrate that while he was locked up? Well, basically, my dad was already a millionaire before he even started rapping or doing anything. He's just out of street money. My dad said that he's seen his first million by the time I think he was 17? Yeah. 18? So, he was already... Kingpin already. So, he was just looking for ways to invest his money to help his people. And that's when he started the studio, the D4L studio. And he was investing his money into his group. Stuntman, Fable, Front Street, all of those people that you've seen. So, basically, they was already working and stuff, but he had got locked up. Jammed up, yeah. Right. So, then when that happened, they were just still doing the thing or whatever.  And then, dad was like, nah, I don't know about that one. But, you know, they end up being one of the biggest songs, if not the biggest song. It was big, man. It changed culture in a lot of ways, bro. So, how old were you then? You was young. Yeah. I was still staying on the west side when that song came out. So, I was probably around like 10 or 11. 11. Yeah. Yeah, because that was around like the 2003-2004 era. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That's crazy, man. So, okay. So, you now... I'm fast-forwarding a little bit, but... Well, during that era, when he first came out and then that got going, he started doing his own solo deal. And when he started doing his solo deal, him and T.I. ended up having issues about was he from born home. Did you even understand what was going on in that whole thing? I mean, from my understanding, from what I know, basically, dad asked T.I. to get on one of his songs or whatever on the door. Yeah, yeah. He said that, yeah.     No, well. Yeah. So, but then you're gonna do that. And from here, we would just, then you claim it, but T.I. was using my dad cars and stuff in his video. Correct. I heard him say that. I heard the story, but it's just crazy because I just, you was, at that time, you would have been about 13. Mm-hmm. You about 13 then because this one is balling down. Mm-hmm. So, during that time also, if I remember correctly, right after that Gucci come on the scene, did you ever meet Gucci with your dad during that time when you was hanging out? Yeah. Yeah. That would have had to be dope. Oh yeah, man, so I met Gucci, man, Gucci funny. Hold on, which Gucci man? He met the old Gucci man. The first Gucci. Yeah, the first Gucci, man, the big Gucci. So what's the difference? Well, big Gucci was real. I know him, you know, but I haven't answered the question. Both are different. So you actually met him, like. Well, I haven't got to meet Gucci. I don't know this Gucci, but I knew Gucci from back then because him and my dad used to always kicking and stuff. And they was like this. But, so it was like me, my dad and Gucci, we went to Six Flags, me, that's dope. My dad and his partners, Gucci and his partners and stuff. And that's when Gucci was talking to Buffy the Body. Okay. So, I think I was like 13, 14 years. So we walked in. You were managed in. You seen Buffy the Body, you like, yeah, man. So, man, we waiting in line and Gucci told me to slap her butt. I knew it. So, I was like, nah, man, I didn't do that. But you know, I'm like, I'm 13, 14. Oh yeah. I want to slap it, but I don't know. Yeah. So, so when he made me do it, but see, see what the thing is, like when I said, no, man, what's up with this thing, right? That sounds like him too, boy.  He was like 13 shy. Yeah.  So, now I'm behind Buffy the Body. You see all that, man. So, he pushed me on her. So, man, I was trying to stop her from falling and stuff like that, but the, the booty, it hit you in the chest. Yeah. So, I'm like, it was crazy. So, man, Gucci. What Gucci say? He laughing. Gucci, laughing, daddy laughing. I want to remember that. Man, oh no, so I ain't gonna, but I'm talking about it. Oh yeah, Gucci remember that? Man, they just remember what's going on. They crazy. I often say, boy, you remember that, you know what I'm talking about. I would remember it too. Yeah. Yeah, man, that's crazy, man. Cause those are the stories, man. I have so many people that, cause, cause, Pimp is no longer here and his, his, people that, you know, been with him. I hear all these stories, man, just dope. I wish I'd have got the meat shawty. I listen to every, every song, everything he was doing, I was on it, man. I liked, you know what I mean? You could tell the ones who really wasn't, who really wasn't getting it like that, but acting like they were getting it too. Cause they, they give fake dope prices and all that. You know what I'm saying? He was more about just the money and talking about, you know, the good time that was going on and I liked that about it. You know, I appreciate it. Yes, man. Well, let's talk about, about you, man. Is that brick baby? Yes. What's up with that, and how was it going good? Maybe.  So the plan.  Hey.  You know, and I feel like that should be everybody. So everybody can be a Brit, baby. Wow, that's dope, man. I'm gonna, hey man, I want that merch in the store, man. I'm gonna, I need a wholesale order. Stop playing, you see where we at. I got you. Give me a wholesale order then. I'm gonna put the word out, nigga. Dallas Texas. How you doing? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, man. Thank you so much for coming to Dallas, man. I'm loving the movement, man. So when you say you did some time, how long was you locked up, man? Three years. Three years, three years.   And I seen the blue bus, you know, the little bus that was riding past whatever. And I used to always think like, what did they do to get locked up? Like, what are they doing?   Some people just be put in bad situations, lifestyles, circumstances. Some people just are a part of the environment and stuff happens. Some people just make bad decisions, right? So, that just allowed me just to, you know, just sit back and it like, it allowed me to grow like, like my mindset, my thought process on people who went into jail and went into prison and just, it just allowed me to be more, let me find a word, let me find a word. I'll say, it allowed me to be more, you know, should of wear, pay, you know, just pay or should of attention more, you know, how to read people. And it just taught me how to be, you know, what's the word? How to be, you know, just by myself, you know, just like. Isolated, right, isolated, like not to, you know, be so big on needing people.  It's not even about the money. Who just gonna be there to talk, keep you uplifted and keep you going.  She was like, sometimes you gotta learn how to be by yourself, you know, you can't depend on people all the time, you know. So sometimes when stuff get hard, you gonna have to figure it out on your own, you know.  And if they do, sometimes it's not all the way real. Yeah, I get it.  So I know when you was, when you was, did you have something you wanted to say? I go. Go ahead.  Cause like you actually seeing what you did wrong, what you did right, what not to do and not to do wrong. Like you actually see it. Like other people don't see it. They can get out, so I'm gonna go do this and do this again.  Like, damn, I'm in GIC, everybody ain't this, everybody ain't that. It's like, you see a different side of everybody.  Oh man. The most smartest people are in jail. The smartest people be it. You understand, you'll never know.  Bro, they so creative. I was like, I was like, you know, I was as pure.  Like why y'all didn't imply this like that? Like, bro. But yeah. See, but you don't like, just for me being there and seeing all this, you know, us as black people, like we can, bro, we are the entrepreneurs. Like we can, we can really run this.    Period. So it just being that creative and that smart. I'd be like, man, y'all guys don't know that, y'all can get out here and really get to take it over. But a lot of people don't know, a lot of people don't know the business side and they won't take the time to go, you know, learn it.  And these people is explaining it to you versus back then when, you know, this wasn't really gotten to the available. Next people, give me you free game. The only thing you gotta do is go get it. No, that's not true. No, but you gotta have a paperwork behind you, bro. You gotta have a paperwork. They gonna take it from you. Yeah. That's the one thing we don't do. Black people, we don't take the paperwork behind it. Yeah. But I always just go do what they do and they take it from us. We all complain. I agree. But when you paperwork first and they ain't go do it. Yeah. Yeah, these streets is real too. And I think we are creative like you said. So, but when you think about it, you know, it's eye-opening, man. But the one thing I did notice and, because when I got jammed, my mother had passed away. And when I researched it, I found out your mom passed and your father passed while you was incarcerated. Right. That's, how was it dealing with both of those incidents if I might ask if you want to talk about it? Yeah, sure. Like losing my mom, like that hurt me the most. Yeah, I know. They broke me down. Like just even think about it, it's just crazy. Cause I really don't talk about my mom, but it's like I have no choice but to talk about that cause everybody's lost it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It wasn't just me, but my mom, that's my baby. Like I can't even count to you. No, no, I already know. Like, man, like that hurt me more than anything else in the world. How did you react and what did you do? And the reason I ask these questions, Lowe, is because it'll help somebody else who go through that. My cousin lost his mother and his dad while he was like my first cousin. We were in together all the time. So I know, but he can't sit down like you cause he ain't type of person that could do this, but somebody that's gonna see this parents, they may lose their parents or something, or have lost it or going through something like that. That's why I asked you about it. You know what I mean? Cause it'll help somebody else. Like man, like the only thing I can say we like losing my mom. It wasn't nothing really nobody could tell me. It was unexpected. Yeah, it was just unexpected cause I had just talked to her earlier that day. I told her happy birthday and stuff. And I told her- It was on her birthday? Yeah.  And she said that I'm not, I got somebody who gonna drive me home.  You know, he came out and did his thing and performed with her and stuff. And then she drove my dad sister home but she didn't get to get home. Wow. You know, she passed, she passed like not too shortly after leaving her house cause she got to a car accident the same way as dad. And that's where it blew my mind. Both my parents passed in car accidents. Yeah. So, so boom. So just like that. And when it happened, I didn't know. So I guess one of the guards at the, on the prison that I was at, he told my partner just to make sure I'm okay on good. And you know, at the time, I don't know. But I guess my parent, I mean my dad, my grandma, my auntie or somebody had called down to tell the prison already and told them to tell me. So the guard just told my partner to make sure that I'm good. So, so my partner was like, hey bro, you know the guard. No, he was like, bro, the guard just told me to make sure you're good. I don't know what's going on with that, bro. Is you good? I like, yeah. Here, he was like, bro, you might need to call home and see what's going on. I was like, man, why like, but I had just got recently got some paperwork saying that I was going home in December and this was July. So, and I called my mom a couple weeks early and told me I'm coming home in December. So I'm thinking, I'm like, but I know she didn't call down here and tell them to just make sure I'm okay and I'm safe and stuff. Cause she would do something like that. Make sure my baby good. Y'all better watch it. He coming home. So I wonder about doing that tour type stuff. So, so, so boom. So I walked upstairs and I was getting on the, the actual jail phone and I can dial the number. I pushed it, it rained one time and I hung it up. So man got out. I was just like, man, I ain't finna call her. You know, cause I had set days where I actually called and stuff and talked to her and stuff. Yeah. So I was like, you know what, for some just say they called. So I went back downstairs and one of my partners and stuff, he from the city too. So he, he just kept staring at me. You know, and I was down there playing cards and stuff. I looked up, he's staring. He walked away. He walked that way.  How he walking and stuff. So I looked at like, bro, what's going on? Were you good? He was like, yeah, yeah. But I can tell how he said it. I was like, so that's how I stopped playing cards. And I walked upstairs to his room. I was like, bro, what's going on? Bro, talk to him, bro. You got something going on? You got a feeling of some type of way or something? And he was just like, no, bro, you just need to call home and make sure your people's great, bro. Shit, man. The folks say under your mom pad. I'm like, bro, I don't like how. Where should I just talk to him? Man, you tripping.  And I'm like, dad, man, what's going on? Man, these folks trying to tell me that mom pads and stuff. And he was trying to change the subject. He was like, bro, son, what's going on, bro? I'm like, man, dad, man, where did these folks talk about? You talking about what's going on, I mean, what's going on? And then he got quiet. I was just like, what? Said I ain't so.  And I just lost it. Man, I can't even explain it. What happened after that? I just, I couldn't even believe it, man.  And I cried like every day, all day. But those guys never really showed me love, though. Like they like, bro. That's the way it be. God put the right people around you to deal with situations and circumstances. You know what I'm saying? No, no, and that had to be hard. Now, now explain to me how it was when Charlotte Lowe, when he passed away, how you get, how did you hear about that when he was locked up? Bro, it's crazy. Cause I had just talked to him the night before cause my granddad had just passed two weeks prior. Right. So my granddad passed on September 6th.  No, my aunt, cause you know, we had the cell phones and stuff. So the cell phone that I usually use and stuff, she had text that phone and told them to tell me to, you know, to call my dad and stuff. So I called her like, auntie, what's going on?   I'm like, man, what you talking about?  I'm telling him, I'm like, damn, what's going on? Everybody talking crazy. Like, you know, I'm like, what's going on? So, um, so, um, he, so he would talk to him and he was like, man, you know your, um, Granddad is up there with your mom now. I'm like, huh? And then, you know, when I thought about like the way he was saying, I'm like, man, I'm like, uh, you know, and me and him just sat on the phone and just cried together. You know what I mean? Wow. And now, so you lost your mama and your grandpa and your daddy. Yeah. In a year span. Within a year span. So. And you were locked up all the time. Mm-hmm. And so. The whole time. Wow. So y'all got the, you had, you got him to console with you on that. But so, so how does the news get to you about short and low? And I know people probably asking you these questions, but I just, I just liked the real bro. No, no, bro. It's cool. So, um, so, um, it was, it was a winstay. She said, she said, 10 of 21st. I ain't never gonna forget. Can't forget. It was a winstay. That was when my daddy died. The commissary, Ashley. Yeah. September 21st. Yeah. The commissary, Ashley, come that day on the winstay. So the guy who ordered me some commissary, or whatever, he came to my dole and it was like five, six in the morning. So they, they had already called us to go to breakfast, but I ain't go. So he came back like, low, low, bro, come to the door. I'm like, bro, what's up? So I hopped off the bump. So I popped the door. I'm like, bro, what's going on? He was like, bro, you ain't gonna believe this. And I'm thinking, he finna tell me like, you know, he didn't get to go to the store. So he's gonna pay me this week or something like that. He was like, bro, yo, dad, he died, he dead. I'm like, bro, what? I rubbed my eyes. You like, you'd have heard this stuff. You'd have heard all of these different transitions now. This is two weeks apart. Cause my granny had just passed out. So they're two weeks later. So I'm thinking, I'm like, bro.  You tripping. And I about to close the door and my other partner pulled up and gave me the cell phone. So I'm thinking like, damn, like, they gotta be real. There was a song going on. So on my call, my dad, mom, and my dad, it's had picked the phone up. So she was like, hey, look, call up. But it's like five, six in the morning. I'm like, oh man. So she's like, hey, what's up? So I'm like, bro, what's going on? And then she was like, um, I say, man, is it true? It is not true. She's like, it's true. And at that moment, I actually went numb. Like, you know, I ain't never felt it before. Like I went numb. Like I ain't feel nothing. It's like, it's just like, I was more angry or pissed off or like, damn. Like, what the? I'm like, oh no, what's going on now? It's just like everything. He's like, my mind's spinning. But it's like, I don't get it. It's like, man, he gone and I feel like, man, that's the last thing I had left. You know, that's my own, my mom, granddad, and now dad is like, I ain't really too much crushing about that one. You know? You know, cause I was numb. I was just like, man. After all of that. After, he done went through so much. And that's the crazy part because this is something that you can't, you got to write a book, brother. You got to write a book because that ain't something. That's not normal, bro. You know what I'm saying? But I look at God in the whole situation, how you said that you spoke to him not too long before that. And then with your mom, you talk to her every week. So you were able to talk to her on that. A lot of people in there and like wait months or, you know, I don't talk to their relatives and figure out that they just passed away. You were able to have that last conversation. You know what I mean? We was all close, you know? Before my mom passed, I got the news that I was coming home December, 2015. So, but I got that news like the early part of July. And she came and seen me the following week.  I contact some of the eyes, so my eyes are blue and stuff. And I'm like, mom, I don't know if they got anything to do with it.  Yeah, I'm like, let's take a look at you. So then when me and her was talking and stuff and then the other people was having a visit too, they was like, your mom is so beautiful.  I was just like, yeah, man.  So it's like, on it, it's like, just think about that. It just like made me think about all that. Like, and I told her she looked like an angel then two weeks later, she became one. Wow, that's dope, man. Like I said, your story is breathtaking, man. And just the way that you, like I say, I appreciate the story, man. I appreciate you telling me what went down because that's something that, like I said, it'll help somebody else that's going through it because people going through it. You know, most of the black men are getting locked up and a lot of them, you've seen what the ratio was with us down there, that ratio crazy, right? It's real, it's us down there. When you get there, you see like this way about it. This way about it.   But that's probably, and it's probably bad to say this, but that's probably the best place that I could have been when all of that was happening because it made me be strong. So what he's saying is true, but it's like, I was trying to, you know, keep up my, but those guys, that group of guys, like, us in that dorm, you know, it was us versus, you know, the police or the guards or whatever the case, you know, it's us, so we had that tight bond and I was cool with pretty much everybody in that dorm.  And they knew it. Look at his weakness. That is like, okay.  No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You had to go through your time on sorrow, man. And that had to happen, you know?  That's dope. And, you know, and we just there. And I used to have the pictures, like pictures of my family and I'd go through all the pictures of just her. And like, I can't believe this. Like, she right here, she smile, she happy. Like, it's like she gone. Like, and he's driving me crazy. But he's just like, I don't know. I just felt like, I was like, man, she came to me in a dream one time. I ain't, I ain't, I ain't never gonna forget. And in that dream, I won a million dollars, look like a chick. So the people was like, I just wanted a million dollars. And I seen her and I dropped the chick. I was like, I don't care about them as much. I want you. And she say, no, you gotta be strong and stay strong, pick up that chick and take their money and whatever the case be. I was like, no, I ain't stand no chick. And it's like, in my sleep, like I can feel her hug me. Like, I kind of felt her like over me. I've been there. And like, and it woke me up. And I'm like, tear I like. It's crazy. I've been there. I've been the same dream, exact same dream. I was like, damn, I just felt the hug. Like, it touched me like, It woke me out of my sleep. Yeah, me too. And it's like, but I felt the spirit. I was like. And I believe that dreams, all dreams have meanings. They all have a meaning. They all come to you for a reason. Maybe that time in your life, you needed that. Yeah. Like her telling me to be strong, you know? Cause I, it didn't really matter hearing it from. Anybody else? Nobody else but hearing it from her. It was like, okay, like I can do this. Like I can fight through it. And it's like, like doing that period of time.  I would think about doing some crazy stuff. Like I was like, I was just on go. But everybody in that dorm knew.  Like I probably get like a hour nap, wake up and I'm up all day. Yeah. Like I ain't eating. Like it was like a whole, excuse me. Yeah. It was like a whole week I ain't eat. And like people like, bro, you gotta eat. You gotta do this. I'm like, I ain't got no appetite. Like y'all, they were like, some are like, bro, I get it. I lost a person like that person. But you gotta, you got them. You gotta shake it, shake it. They were like, y'all, you don't mean like that, but bro, you gotta take care of yourself. You know. That's what they would want. So let me ask you a question. Cause whenever, you know, of course, I'd never experienced what you've been going through or what you went through. But being locked up and hearing that, is it a case where, you know how you know it's true, but you really. Don't want to hear it. In denial until you actually come out and see that she's really not there. Right there. And that's key. Cause it's like, you know, from being locked up and being in jail and prison and stuff. And you know, they really not really there anyway. But you can call every nine days. So it was just like, it was not, it was just like, okay, so I can't call her. So eventually that's what I made myself believe.  So God damn. So when I finally got home, you know. I wanted to talk about that like coming home to a whole different situation than what you left. Right. How was that? How was it coming back into society? Like leaving, you know, and like, you know, I was locked up when I was 19. I got out when I was 22. So, you know, just leaving from that. Like I had both my parents.  And your grandpa.  So it's just like coming back, you know, like when by the time I lost dad, I was already numb. So it's like it, nothing didn't phase me like no more. So I was like, I was just stone cold. Like, it's like, okay, it is what it is by that time. So by the time I came home, I was happy to be home. But that's when it started to hit me like, like, damn, like, okay. Like I'm expecting to come home. And these are the people that I want to see. They would embrace you. Yeah. They was like, like, we all could have grown up and you cried. They would pick you up. Yeah. So, you know, but it was my brother, my girl that at that time, my brother girl and two of my aunts and stuff. So, um, so, um, when like, when they came and picked me up and I was walking out the gates and stuff, you know, I was happy to see them.   So, so, you know, like I changed clothes. We went and got food and stuff.  I really didn't have no feeling. Like, Yeah. You already done went through so much. Like, it's like, I was there. I looked at that ground for about two minutes. I was just like, all right. Come on. So I'm ready to go. And that was like, you good? I'm good.  I wouldn't know.  Out of that, I'm like, I'm, I'm good. Like, don't, nothing faze me. But after being home for a period of time, the, that's when it started hit. It started affect you.  Like, bro, they really not here. Like, they really gone or, or this and that. And then that's when a little envy started to kick in. Like, cause I see people older than me, 40s and 50s. They parents. They parents. It's not familiar. I'm, I'm like, bro, I'm like, bro, God, like, why me?  And the first thing that everybody do is blame God. No, I'm not, I ain't, I'm just like, why me? You know, I'm like, I'm like, I ain't never been on bad person or my parents when bad people, you know, we help people. We love people.  I'm just like, why? So, you know, and I see kids, she with they parents and stuff and babies and stuff.  I'm like, man, what the, what? And crazy thoughts start going through my head. Like, you know what? I say, I, I, I really just want people to see how I feel. I was like, well, I want to do some, do some to everybody. So everybody can see how I feel. You know, what you feeling? Yeah. But, you know, but eventually I snapped out of it. What changed your mind from all of that? Okay. You know, after being home for a certain period of time, um, my girl at that time, you know, um, me and her, she was, you know, she was with me. So, you know, she was trying to pick me up, help me find jobs, do this and do that. Like she was basically taking care of me. But as, as all of the reality started to hit me, I started being more bad, like evil towards her. Like, like I talked down on her. That's what I mean. That's what I meant. Like, like this and that, and I was making her feel bad. And I was tearing her down as a woman and she wasn't trying to do that for me. Because you would hurt me. Yeah, I would hurt her. And, you know, and she was always around. So it's like this energy was just, you know, draining her. You could go to her. So eventually, you know, she left. And once she, you know, that'd probably be the best thing that ever happened to me. Because once she left, I was like, I can't lose nobody else close to me. And it made me change. And it basically made me change my mindset, my points of view, the way I see life, the way that I see people, the way that I move.  Cause it's like having her and she was doing everything for me, kind of like, like. It's like she was your crush. Right. So when she left, I just had to follow all the way down. Right. Then get back up. Let me ask you about the dream. You had a dream, you say that you needed to start rapping. Was that, your father came to you? Right. Yeah, so.  It was a long time after? Yeah, cause I got home in 2016. And recently, November, November 23rd of 2020, I got locked up for violins and probation. Okay. So, so, January the 4th, January the 5th, I had court. My dad came to me to January the 4th. And he was like, man, get the music 100%. You gon' make it. He say, but you gotta give it 100%. He say tomorrow. This year. Yeah. January. So he was like, tomorrow, you not going home. But when you go, make sure that you get the music 100%. You gon' make it. And I'm gonna put the pieces around you to make it. But you ain't gon' make it just because you my son, you gotta give 100, just like everybody else. And you know, so the next day came and I didn't go home. So I ended up coming home, February the 12th, if I'm not mistaken. So I already, you know, I was dibbing and dabbing with the music before I had got locked up. Make some songs or make a song. And I didn't really put it out because before, back in 2017, my brother was rapping. I ain't never rapped before. I ain't never thought about rapping. So I was trying to manage him. And it was basically like just losing pops did something different to him. And you know, he was burning a lot of bridges.  I was like, you know, were we losing our opportunities? We still gotta live out here.  Now I'm like, nah, I say, bump that shuffling around. But at that time, I wasn't good. And I knew that I wasn't good. Honestly, I still don't feel like I'm good now, but people think I'm good. I like it. I listen to the songs that you have released.  You can just put out anything. So I'm like, I ain't even put out on anything. I was like, no, but then the people that I, you know, got to say that Spett did know to help me and groom me was the same people who was around that and who was helping him. And you know, and nobody wanted to help me. So, and then, you know, like I was doing like crazy stuff. Like I was so dedicated and I had my mind made up that the music was the way I was gonna do. Like I'll spend my last to Uber to the studio to pay for the pay for a studio session and not have a way home. Like, I ain't know how I was gonna get back home.  So, so, so it got to that point to where I was just like, okay, so my uncle stunt, he got like a studio in his apartment. So, you know, I was going over there and I was asking people to show me how to record myself. Like just show me the button to push to make it got them record me and then I can stop it. And would you believe that nobody didn't even want to show me how to do that? Yeah, that's what called it. That's just God just making you stronger the whole while.  And there may be some unique way you want you to do it. And it was crazy. Like I come believe nobody wouldn't come in there and show me how to push a button to record myself cause I ain't had the money to keep over and then paying for studio time. And I'm like, I'm not really good. So I read the practice over here and you know, and do this, nobody didn't want to show me how to push a button. So, you know, I was like the people that I expect to support me, they ain't helping me. And then, and then the people that I don't really care about, they telling me to put out anything. So I fell back from the music.  So when I got me a job and I did sales and marketing and stuff. And I did good and that, but I broke my foot and I couldn't work and I lost my job and stuff. And I went through a whole spiel with doing that. So, so then, so then afterwards, afterwards, that's when I got a lot of the front violation probation. I was actually finna move into the house that I'm in now.  So, so dad came in the dream. He told me that I got out. I was working on music, but I was still kind of nervous. I was like, man, I don't want to put on no bullshit, but I wanted people gonna like it. And one of my dad partners, he said, play something. And I played, my song got another single. The Bricks. Bricks, I played Bricks. He say, man, he started, he say, man, you tripping. He say, man, you better put this out.  He was like, and you say that you ain't never rap before. He was like, well, you lying to me. He was like, but it's good music right here. So, man, he actually made that cover that's on my Instagram now. Yeah. And I think if I'm not mistaken, I dropped Bricks April the 24th. And it's been up since then. Man, I see you on different platforms, man. The interviews, the people that's embracing you. I just like the whole movement. I think it's something else. They need to do a growing up hip hop and throw you on that thing somewhere that you get that money, all counterweights, because it's there for you. You know what I mean? Doors are gonna open, man. And you're just gonna have to be prepared to go with it. Like that 100% thing, your daddy write about that. Anything you do, you gotta give it all. Don't do it at all. So what other feels you would like to branch out into because I know you're doing the music. In the shirts. But I know being a brand, you might wanna do movies. You might wanna do a book and this different things. Have you thought about any of those? Yes, actually, I actually started my own label, D4WEL Reloaded. So I basically started that because I felt like I ran into some bad business. So people were just trying to tell me I can give you this amount of money. I can get you on birthday bass, Coachella, Matt Gellar. You know, just all types of stuff. You know, my instinct was telling me like, nah, these four cap and the way they're able to get me. But they gave me the paperwork and I was trying to wait to see if they can get me on the, which one came first. Birthday bass came up first. So, you know, I ain't signed on paperwork or none. And until I see like they can do what they say they gonna do. So when birthday bass was coming up, I seen all the other artists posting, they flyers and doing this and doing that. And I'm asking them, like, where my eyes at? Like, oh, where the paperwork at the contract? So we can see what's going on. And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And he was just like, yeah, man, it's on the way, the radio station is still doing it. And I'm like, okay, cool. Well, but I ain't signed on paperwork anyway. So like about a week or so before birthday bass came up, he was like, man, they gave away the slide and did all this and that, man. I'm on the phone with him now. I was like, you know what? Versus me trying to look to get signed, I'll start my own label and I'll sign on it myself. And then I can help people because I know I'm 100. Yeah. You know what I mean? You know, I ain't trying to get over on nobody or do nothing to nobody. I didn't want to see people win. And like I tell the people around me, I can't promise nobody success, but I can promise you an opportunity to create your own line and do whatever it is you want to do and help change your future and your family's future. I can promise you success. And it's only right because that's the same with your pops.  So you'll be able to help more people. The more people you can help, the better off it is. Right. So man, I appreciate you, man. Is there anything else you got to ask? Oh, that's it. Hey man, how can people get a hold to you, man? Man, you can follow me on IG that's shawtylo, underscore Junior. That's S-H-A-W-T-Y-L-O, underscore JR. You can find my music on all platforms. Wherever they have music, you can find my music. My singles out right now, shawtylo, Junior. Brits, shawtylo, Junior. I'm with it. Shawtylo, Junior, Future and Skoolie. That's the one I've seen too. Every time. Yeah. That'll go hard. Every time. I forgot to ask you top three artists of all time. Any genre. My top three. Number one. Number one is Future. I ain't gonna lie, so I love Future. Love Future. Future. Number two. Drake. Number 30. Dad. Hey, man, that's dope, man. Hey, man, we love you, brother. Thank you so much. We appreciate you for coming on the show. Yes, sir. I have one more. Oh, you got another question? I'll let that man go.  Say, even face eight years, because when you go in there.  That's a lie, man. Yeah, that's a lie. You ain't anything good. But when you're facing eight, I don't mean you're gonna do the whole eight. You might not get that. Depends on the state you in. Right. But, and he left with his mom and dad there, you never know what might happen in life. How could you advise him what to face coming up? You really can't, you know? Because his life is gonna be different from mine and the things that he might experience and feel it's gonna be different from what I felt. And I got into experience. And the people around him, I don't know how they'll try to help him and guide him.  Like at that time, I ain't know what I wanted. You know, like before my dad passed me and him was talking, and I was telling him that I'm gonna come out and help him start businesses and his restaurant and finish writing his book and starting the movie. Like me and him had plans and had goals. And you know, and that just got shattered. He left. So I didn't know what I was gonna do. You know? And when, and when I got out and I came home, you know? And I had to stay with my aunt and her dude. And eventually he put me out. So I was homeless for a while. I was living here, living there. And you know, I'm shot a little son.  You know what I mean? I'm like, nah, I scraped. You don't work like that, do you? You know what I mean? But it was just like that. But it was like, I just had to stay rooted and grounded. It is like my pride and my ego didn't let me go under.  Like cause I just got pride in me. Like I ain't finna be homeless.  No, so I'm gonna go get it. You know, so I found jobs and so you know, I ain't, I ain't really have no pride in that sense of, I can't work. You know, my first job, I was making it 725 hours.  You got this, you got that. You got to provide for yourself. That ain't nothing. But you know, I like, I had to learn how to manage money, how to live better, be like consistent and beat and like tell myself, you know, it's some stuff that I can't do. And that's okay.  Right. You can't, and that's a good thing, you know, because I've heard of so many famous rappers who passed on and wasn't able to leave their kids anything. And their kids are not in a great situation right now, except from just having that name. And you have a lot of mean people out there who will say, Oh, but you such and such son, you shouldn't be, you know, what you doing working here? What you doing doing that? You know, they expect you to have money, to be living good off of your dad's name. Or you know what I mean?   You know, so I feel like I need to work on my work. So some work and I'm doing that. And I love that, that, that, that. I like it. Let's go. Man, thank you so much for coming on the show, man. Dope interview, man. It's been another great segment of Boston 101. And we out.


bone tissue is composed of multiple cell types, each with their own unique electrical properties. These properties are influenced by the interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix, as well as mechanical forces. Bone tissue also exhibits a variety of electrochemical phenomena, such as streaming potential, electro-osmosis, and electromechanical coupling. These properties are important for understanding how bone tissue functions and responds to injury or disease. This article was authored by Boon Chin-Heng, Young Young Bai, Xiao Chen Li, and others.


This video I'd like to start a discussion of what we mean when we say Criticism whether that's literary criticism or criticism of a media artifact or whatever What do we mean when we talk about critical analysis and criticism so initially when we hear the word criticism We may go to this kind of definition where we think about Expression of disapproval of someone who thinks we've done something wrong or have some sort of perceived faults mistakes We think about the teachers over the years who have come at us and said no that's wrong. Don't do it that way That's criticism that's that's one definition of criticism, but that's not the definition of criticism that we're talking about We're not talking about discussing whether somebody's done something right or wrong or we're expressing approval or disapproval or something We're talking about a different type of criticism Specifically we're talking about the analysis and judgment of the merits and faults of a literary or artistic Work so what we're doing here, you know, you may think and this is truly criticism in some sense But you may think of somebody Standing in front of a beautiful work of art in a museum or something They're being critical of that of that work of art. They're trying to understand What it means or trying to understand what the good is here what the bad is here And so we can do that not just with art though We can do that with all kinds of artifacts literary media artifacts things happening in the real world We can we can have a critical outlook and use criticism to define those things One way we do that is through, you know, examining art in that way or examining some sort of media in that way Another is through text analysis. We're reading literature We'll be reviewing it through a particular lens as we're going to talk about and and analyzing the text of that So there are a variety of ways that we can be critical consumers of these things and perform critical analysis So one broad way to describe this as I just mentioned is thinking about it through the use of different lenses I don't know if you know anything about photography I really don't know anything about photography. My wife is a photographer and she has all these different lenses And she's always when she's taking pictures She's swapping out the lenses to get different perspectives on things, right? Some are as you see here wide angle and some are telephoto for distance shots and things So we can use this kind of analogy from different lenses and photography We can view different artifacts through different lenses and we can provide different perspective One way I think of it too is I happen to be colorblind So you may have heard about these colorblindness classes that people would see and they take you from these real kind of dull colors or Whatever colors you're normally seeing which would be normal for me Interviewing what other people are seeing and around the world and the different colors that they're actually, you know seeing that the real colors Real-time colors, but provides a different perspective and we see things through these different lenses maybe a more contemporary example would be the use of filters for example in in snapchat for example or Another Instagram or something like that the use of those kinds of filters Where they provide just a slightly different coloring slightly different perspective of that thing except instead of you know looking at different pictures necessarily and Providing different filters in that way We're going to be viewing different artifacts through different lenses and asking ourselves Questions instead of literal lenses. We're going to use questions as to how we Examine these artifacts and how we look at them, right? And so these different lenses are going to provide us with different perspectives And so we'll take a look at a few of these over the course of this series and and look at some different lenses But examples are for example, you know Marxist criticism or what's referred to sometimes as the Frankfurt school Where people are looking at different class designations and things as they look at an artifact They're looking at it through the lens of how is this impacted by class? What perspective does this represent in terms of class another type of school or Critical analysis that we can use is psychoanalytic We're looking at the psychology of a person and trying to understand that aspect of things We can also look at feminist and gender studies and try and view it through the the lens of that particular That particular gender that particular genre the same with ethnic and race studies We can try and view things for how does this how was this written from a perspective of a particular ethnicity or race? Or how does this impact somebody reading this in in in a particular ethnicity or race those types of things? So these are all different lenses that we can put on to view particular artifacts so there is a process to criticism and just In the vaguest sense here in the most basic sense Let me just run through the different types of steps involved in the criticism process first To read or to examine that artifact if it's a literary process then then you're going to be reading it If it's a piece of media, then you're going to be examining it watching it reviewing it Multiple times and looking at it for the piece of art. You're going to be looking at it multiple times spend time examining it really really really Taking it in really in a true sense taking it in so whether it's reading whether it's watching whether it's looking at these things That's the first step of the criticism process is to really engage with that artifact and truly try and understand it Then we come up with a thesis we come up with the idea of what is it that we think we want to say about this? What what does this mean to us? How do we want to approach this? So we we write our thesis we come up with our thesis then we do our research based around that thesis We've come up with this idea that we're researching so we go out and find what material there is to find about it We do our research on the on the author of that piece on and of the or the you know the creator of that piece We do the on what was going on at the time understanding in the larger context Understanding the smaller context of who was that person and what might they be trying to indicate with this and and then also understanding What is this critical theory that we're using to examine what lens are we using and let's understand that as well The different perspectives involved in that and the different questions that are related to that So lots of research involved here then we come in with our support. We have our thesis We have our main idea then we come in with supporting materials supporting details and try and prop that up, right? If we're gonna have a stool you can't have a stool with two legs It's not very comfortable right wouldn't be very practical So you need the all the legs on that stool and that's what we need with supporting ideas We need all the different supporting ideas to to support our thesis and to support, you know What we're finding here and then finally if we're going to Present this information to other people we need to edit it thoroughly so that it can be taken seriously That's a big part of this as well we need to be sure our writing is on point and and Expressing what it is it needs to Some of the common questions you may come across as we're engaging in Critical theory and critical examination critical analysis of different things Some common questions we may ask as part of this process first who created this artifact Who was it that created this that'll tell us a lot about about the intention and about a lot of other things But we need to know about that person for examining a book We need to know who wrote this book not just by name, but what was their perspective? What was their experience in life? You know what was going into this in their mind when they created this? So we need to know who created this artifact We need to know why it was created what compelled this person to to create this work to write this book to create This piece of art to create this piece of media Why was it created? What's the purpose do we think for the from from the audit from the author's perspective the creators perspective? Why was it created next? What's the theme here? What's the overarching theme here? What's their purpose? What's their intention here? And then finally, what are we supposed to learn from this? What do we think the creator was trying to to do with this? What's their end goal here a? Few things to keep in mind as we're as we're examining things critically and engaging in critical analysis First we have to be able to separate the personal from the critical We can't get you know to emotionally or personally involved in in these these types of things We have to maintain some separation From that item so we can look at it as objectively as possible not the pure objectivity is not really possible but as much as possible we want to separate ourselves from whether or not we like this this song or this this movie or this TV show or this book whether we'd like it personally is not as relevant as What this person again go back to those questions? What's this person trying to say who created it? So forth we need to separate our personal feelings from this piece of this artifact in this piece of work from The critical aspects and the criticism of this so so we need to be able to separate those things Well, I don't want to look for depth. We're gonna go deep here This is not this is not the time to be you know a mile wide an inch deep and just get to the surface level information This is time to dig in. This is time to get to know this creator This is time to to get to know this piece. What's the background here? When was it created in what you know what aspects so we need to dig deep into some of these areas It's the time to do a deep dive into into the different aspects of this artifact And then we also need to think on all of these axes right not axes like like hatchets Axies is in different aspects of this thing We need to we need to come at it from a lots of different perspectives and think about this from all different axes, right? So this may be something you've seen before this is kind of one of those optical illusion type things But but there's two pictures here, right? You know some of you when you look at this you're seeing the young woman kind of looking away into the distance, right? Some of you and see it when you see it you're seeing what you would describe as an older woman and like a big fur coat and you're just seeing her face and And you know, so there's actually two images here and that's that's the whole point This is one of those dual images But we and we need to be able to see all of these We need to be able to see all the different perspectives as they relate here again Separating ourselves personally from what we think about this this artifact We need to be able to think across all of these different axes and think about it from all of the different perspectives In the end criticism involves a great deal of thought and a great deal of analysis And so so first we're posed with these questions We pose these questions and then we we think about them We let them kind of a kind of ferment in our mind and we think about what does this mean? We dig deep and then we come to conclusions and To be clear we're not coming to facts about these things We're still coming to as objective an opinion we can get as we can get but still it's an opinion about what this What this art means what this piece means what the meaning behind this is and what the intention behind it is But we're thinking about these things We're examining things critically through different lenses and how they may affect or appeal to to people in different Different genres and mindsets and things so critical analysis really is about that kind of deep thought and that deep dive Into getting behind What's behind this particular artifact and what's behind the person who created it and so forth and really trying to understand things on a deeper level in that regard and Understand them through the different lenses provided by these different perspectives that we will talk about So in the future we'll be talking about these different types of schools of thought in different perspectives And how we apply them through critical analysis, but hopefully this has given you an overview of what we mean when we say criticism or critical analysis If you have any questions about critical analysis about criticism about anything that we're gonna be talking about here Please feel free to email me. I'm always happy to respond to email otherwise begin the process of wrapping your mind around what it means to be to Conduct critical analysis and to be kind of a critical consumer of these things and start to put yourself in the mindset of Being able to see things from those different perspectives And we'll look forward to exploring each of these areas with you even more in the future You


Hello everyone, my name is Melissa Armo and I own a company called the Stock Swoosh and today I thought I would do a trade review of the winners and the losers in the last month. If you are interested in learning how to trade my method, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com or feel free to give me a call at 929-3200 Gap. You can also follow me at any one of these social media sites too with the Stock Swoosh. So let's go over back to May 18th. And before we review these trades, I must tell you that most of these are shorts. For those of you that know me, I prefer to short. Some trades in here were longs and I only trade gaps. So I have a method that I trade where I'm looking to go long a stocks a gap up a short stocks a gap down depending on the rating criteria. Okay. So for example, how much money would you have made taking the trades in the live trading room with me in the last 26 trades risking approximately a thousand dollars per trade? And the reason I say approximately a thousand is because when I'm getting in my trades I usually go by five, 10, 15, 20 when I'm sizing myself.   I usually round up though to be honest with you. So on May 18th with Cisco, $900 was the profit you would have made risking a thousand dollars on the Cisco. May 19th Foot Locker was 2,450 Then there was time off for the Memorial Day. May 31st course $700 profit June 1st was HPE, which was a really nice gap profit 2,500 EXPR was a loser lost 900 in that. June 2nd Restoration Hardware 1260 profit June 5th no trades. Some days there's no gaps that meet my criteria I will not do anything June 6th was HDS, two trades $900 and $3,300 with a total of $4,200 profit. That was a really good gap that day actually June 7th DLTH a thousand dollars June 8th Urban 930 bucks June 9th pay was two trades one was a loser and one was a winner So that day had to do pay twice that lost a thousand made 1,400 June 12th no trades June 13th cake $400 small profit June 14th HRB $800 June 15th KR was a good gap 2,080 bucks Which is really nice? Again Into the following following following what I do. I mean I'm very very consistent June 16th target $1,200 profit if you did it with a thousand dollar risk June 19th was a spy This was a long small little trade in there 180 bucks June 20th. No trades June 21st was Adobe That was a loss. I was alone actually to 1,560 bucks June 22nd, Oracle $935 loss and June 23rd BBBY $3,550 profit that was a really nice Very highly rated golden gap in BBBY Then following week June 26th BBY continuation gap if you had risk $1,000 On a quick trade in the morning on that Monday. You could have made 800 bucks Has a continuation gap from the Friday June 27th ALDR First trade was a loss 1215 second trade small gain $585 June 28th pay X was a nice trade thousand fifty bucks June 29th Fred. This was a good day $2,150 love those days June 30th Nike was actually a long for $1,100 profit So the win ratio I've been at pretty much this is a ring ratio of my system although sometimes it's about 78 Sometimes it's 81 sometimes I'm at 88% It really depends on the week or the month, but I average about around 80% And so for the last month, it was a win ratio of 81% with 26 trades 21 winners and five losers So you could have made 23,625 dollars if you had taken all of those trades most which were shorts a few longs Okay, and the way that I do it that I picked all those ticker symbols is using my 26 point rating system Which I teach in my golden gap class So to be a career trader you really have to chunk it out you chunk it out daily Then you stay on track, and that's how you make the consistent profits That's really how you do it. It's it's great to have days where you make two three four thousand dollars in a trade But really it is about Staying consistent keeping your losses low, which I do and getting a lot of winners Some days the wins are small some are medium and some are big So my class is called the golden gap course if you'd like to learn my strategy and method in the 26 points It's a full two-day course on how to strategically find pick-and-play stocks that are professional bearish gaps The class is online, so you could be anywhere in the world and take it So if you're interested the next class is July 15th and 16th from 90m to 5 p.m. Eastern time cost of the class is 4999 Dollars email me at Melissa the stocks wish comm if you would like to sign up and register for registration papers Now I am running a special this week for the next class July 4th trading room special Which expires Sunday July 9th, okay? So sign up for the Golden Gat class for July by July 9th, and receive you will receive the rest of 2017 free and the stocks will show live trading room. This is a huge huge benefit For people they will be able to have the entire rest of the trading room 2017 for free This is a huge offer and it will help you make money right after the class by getting my live calls and being in the room with May which is a big benefit, and if you are looking to get right into trading This is a good season because July and August into September is third quarter earning season There will be a lot of gaps to do in a lot of trades And actually the trades I just showed you a lot of those were in the off season Which is why there were some days where there were no trades at all So July will be very very busy if you have questions email me at Melissa at the stocks wish comm and have a happy and safe Holiday week, and I'll see you back next week everyone email me at Melissa at the stocks wish comm if you'd like more information


Hey guys, James here. I really wanted to start this off by telling you that I love inanimate insanity. It was my fourth favorite online show, PtD being first, Object Overload being second, and Brawl of the Objects being third. I like the old episodes, and the new ones are complete garbage. But then, I found this horrifying episode that told me not to watch any more of this show. It was the first day of 2019, and I was really bored. I felt like playing my Super Nintendo Classic Edition I got for Christmas, but my dad hadn't reconnected that yet. I then felt like watching some inanimate insanity. So I went on YouTube, searched for inanimate insanity, and I saw a video that went by the name of Bloons Massacre. That is weird. Inline show creators never allow a name like that. But today, it was a never-before-seen episode, so I clicked on it. Man, just how I could take that back. The intro was normal, nothing out of the ordinary yet. However, the first thing that didn't seem right was that, when the screen showed cherries, they were gone. Now that's just odd. I thought. The episode started out with Bloons sitting on the elimination area for 15 seconds. He was looking sad. Then me phone for appeared in screen and said, Hey, you're not up for elimination. Then it went to Bloons sitting on the grass for 20 seconds, which felt like forever. Then he turned really mad and stood up and said, I've had it without s*** leaving me. I'm gonna teach those s*** a lesson. Wait, did I just hear Bloons swear? He cannot swear in an online show. Anyway, Bloons ran off, then a time card appeared. It said, one hour later. Then it got to Lodge walking, but Bloons appeared out of nowhere and told Stodge so hard that his glass had cracks on it and blood came out of his mouth. Odds got mad. He said, Oh my God, Bloons, I cannot believe you did this to me.   Now we're gonna die along with the other s***. Then he took out a knife and stabbed Odds several times while Odds screamed to death. Odds was horrified. Then Odds died. Bloons laughed demonically. Then me phone for appeared in screen again and said, Hey guys, today's challenge is, Oh my God, Bloons, how could you?  You are the next victim. Then a black screen appeared, censoring the scene of me phone for getting killed, but you could hear screaming from find a dot WMP and chainsaw sounds. Then it cut to an image that haunts me forever. It was the same picture from that Berenst and Bear's creepypasta. It went on screen for 15 seconds. Then it went to Bloons standing on the grass, but this time, he had black eyes with red dots for pupils and law standing in the circle of every, and I mean every object show character, including the ghosts and contestants. Then Bloons laughed, but the sound of his laughing is that death go laugh. And the episode ended. I cannot take it anymore. I closed out of the video and went to watch some other YouTube videos to get it out of my mind. The next day, I went on YouTube, but the video is gone. The video was allegedly deleted for violating YouTube's terms of services or something along those lines. But it's still out there somewhere. If you happen to find another copy of this episode, save your sanity, and don't ever watch that thing, I'm not joking. I'm serious. Well, it had been a while since I saw that horrible episode of inanimate insanity, and I am devastated during that event. But then, I found another lost episode that wasn't as horrifying as that horrible episode I saw a while ago. It was the sixth day of 2019, and my dad had reconnected the Super Nintendo Classic Edition. I'm really bored. I felt like going on YouTube, so I went there. I was watching a video, and I glanced into the recommended videos section. There is one video called Balloon's Apology. The thumbnail had Balloon crying. This made me confused. Was this the video where Balloon apologizes to the world and revives everyone? That question made me want to click on the video, so I did. The intro started out like normal, nothing out of the ordinary. The episode started with Balloon looking just like in the thumbnail. He sat on the grass for 30 seconds before he stood up. He then said, What have I done? I cannot believe I killed everyone I knew. He then looked at something of screen, then the camera panned to it, and it was a potion bottle. It had no text, then the camera zoomed into it, and the bottle said, Revival potion. Then Balloon found 40 to bottles that had the same thing. A time card appeared saying, 15 minutes later. Then it showed every object's show character, including the hosts and contestants, alive. They were back to normal and so was the world. Then Balloon went to Hotel Och, which is odd, because Hotel Och got destroyed in the episode Breaking the Ice, and Och was in there. Here's the summary of the scene. I'm very sorry. For what? For killing everyone I knew. What? I'm very sorry for that. Apology accepted.  Then the scene cut to Balloon sitting on the cliff, looking happy. The episode ended there. I'm happy that the episode had a good ending. I downloaded the video with YouTube Downloader. If you've heard of this episode, let me know.
