Hello everyone and welcome to Option Tiger's video series on How do you create a cutting-edge trading plan for success? If you are a trader or an investor in the US financial markets, this video series is going to be extremely important for you because it gives you the steps of how to create a trading plan for success and how do you implement such a trading plan for success. We all know that trading is a very emotional activity. And we are always second guessing whether we got into the trade at the right time. Did we get out of the trade at the right time? Did we leave profits on the table? What could you have done better? And how could you have maximized your profits on the trade? This video series is going to peel the layers of all of those questions and make trading and investing a no-brainer decision. For this, you need some cutting-edge algos and indicators and we will show you all of these in the following videos. This will also be followed by a live market demonstration of all these algos and indicators that help you with your trading decision. But first, let me give a brief background of myself. Many of you may not know me. My name is Hari Swaminathan. I am the founder of OptionTiger.com, a company based in the Washington DC area. I'm a best-selling Udemy instructor with over 120,000 students. I have a bachelor's degree in engineering from India and an MBA from Columbia Business School in New York. I've been trading the financial markets for about 20 years now and I'm also a financial markets educator. Without further delay, let's get into the meat of the issue. What is a sound trading or investing plan? And when you look at it, you can break this down into some simple steps. As I said, as human beings, we are susceptible to making wrong decisions, making emotional decisions. And when it comes to trading and investing, you want to take these emotions out of the equation as much as possible. So when you break down trading and investing activity, you can break it down into four or five key steps. The first one is the ability to identify the right candidate for a trade. The second one is to be able to get a very high probability edge on your trade entry. The third is the ability to stay in a winning position as long as possible. And fourth, you want to exit the trade at the appropriate time. All of these steps involve emotion and what we want to do is try not to have emotion come into the picture at all. All trading and investing requires some tight control on risk management and trade management. That is just simple trading philosophy. But the four main steps are the ability to identify the right trading candidates. You want to get a very high probability entry. You want to stay in the winning position for as long as possible. We all know that we tend to cut our winners short and we hang on to our losers. This is a very typical situation faced by most traders and investors. So you want to exit at the appropriate time. If we can implement a trading plan that tackles these four important steps without having any emotional involvement as possible. Then we can create a sound trading plan. What you're going to see in this video series is five proprietary algos and indicators that can implement this plan consistently without having emotion come into it at all. Which means you're looking at very visual charts. You're looking at visual indicators that will tackle the problem of identifying the right candidates that tackles the problem of getting the most high probability edge to your entry. And importantly, the ability to stay in a winning position as long as possible so that you can exit the trade at the appropriate time. Of course, nobody can time the market perfectly. We cannot get in at the absolute lowest point and we cannot get out at the absolute highest point. That is just not possible. However, if we are able to catch 75-80% of the move, that is a fantastic trade. And if you can have eight or nine such winning trades and control the losses on your losing trades, then the numbers game works out for itself. The most important aspect is this is all going to be visual and it will take your decision making out of the equation as much as possible. It's going to take your emotion out of the equation as much as possible. So let's go take a look at what these indicators and algos are and I'll show these on the platform as well. The first step is the starting point for trading successfully, which is identifying the best candidates. What you're going to see on the platform is a scanner that will work on any watch list. We all have watch lists with all the stocks that we want to trade. Every person would have a different watch list. That doesn't matter. And every person has a different style of trading. You could be day trading. You could be swing trading or you could be a long-term buy and hold investor. All of that does not matter. You'll see that these powerful scans work on your watch list on the Thinkorswim platform by TD Ameritrade. These watch lists will give you five different states for every stock. Whether they are very bullish, whether they are very bearish, whether they are bullish, bearish and neutral. And these watch list scanners will do that for a short-term day trading type environment as well as for longer term swing trading environments. These indicators are proprietary option tiger intellectual property and they have been developed by me. I have designed these indicators because I have faced these very problems that we are talking about where emotion gets in the way. And sometimes you pick the wrong candidate or sometimes your entry into the trade is not optimal. And many times you tend to leave money on the table by taking your winning trade too soon and keeping on your losing trades for too long. All of these are personal experiences that I've had myself and therefore I took it upon myself to build some cutting edge indicators that will help me take all these decisions in a very visual sense without any emotion involved at all. The second step involved in having a good trading plan is your trade entry. Trade entry can be very powerful because if you catch the right entry that itself will give you a huge edge to your trade. And the multi-time frame trend indicator is the most powerful and flexible trend indicator. It captures price action on all chart time frames.  And it does a deep trend analysis on five levels in a single chart. So this makes it a very visual representation of the trend.  It works for any kind of a trading environment whether it's intraday, whether it's swing trading lasting a few weeks to a couple of months or even much more longer term trading or investing by and whole type of investing. So we'll be looking at this as well. And then the very important step is how do you stay in a winning trade as long as possible? So we have a customized RSI that is customized for persistence, which means it helps you stay in a winning trade. This is once again visual. It works with the MTFT as well as the SPX sticks which we'll get into at another point. It confirms a great trade entry point and it also confirms a great exit point as well. Let's go to the platform and see all these indicators briefly and then you're going to see short videos on each of these indicators and we'll explain how all of this works. This is the thinkorswim trading platform by TD Ameritrade and many of you may be familiar with it. If you do trade on Fidelity or Charles Schwab or any other platform, you can always open a thinkorswim account on TD Ameritrade with the minimum of $100 and you can install all of these indicators on this platform and use it for your analysis and continue with your trading on your regular platform. On the left hand side, you'll see your watch list and each person can have their watch list as big as possible with whatever stocks you're interested in. And once you install the watch list indicators, you'll see these two columns called day trades and swing trades. You can click on these columns to sort them and so that you can have the very bullish on the top and the very bearish and then you have neutral and then so on and so forth. These indicators give you a powerful representation of which stocks to zero in on for your trades. In a day trading environment, you want to go to a very small chart which is a one minute chart and then in a swing trading or longer term trading environment, you want to go to a daily chart and what you're seeing here is the SPX on a one day chart. So this is about a one year daily chart and you can zero in on this and you can see all of these very bullish stocks. Let's take an example of Goldman Sachs. You can click on it and you can see it is bullish. If you take a look at Caterpillar, certainly it is bullish. It's just come off earnings here and if you look at Boeing, that is definitely bullish. If you look at any of these stocks over here on the watch list, it will tell you which stocks are bullish, which stocks are bearish. So this helps you zero in on your trade without having to go through your entire watch list looking for good trading candidates. Once you've identified the trading candidate, then you want to look at the multi time frame indicator. This is the indicator which has all of these red dots and green dots and you also have a master level indicator. Now future videos will explain how all of this works but this is a trend indicator that tells you when you can go bullish, when you can go bearish. On the stock, you want to see all of them aligned. The master indicator aligned when the master indicator lights up, that's telling you that a trend is certainly developing. Whether it's to the bearish side or to the bullish side. So if you look at Boeing right here, what we are looking at it's telling you that it's a good time to take a bullish trade and you can see that if that was the level at 143, then you could be riding this trade all the way till here. And when you see some red dots coming, you want to exit the trade. The third indicator here is the customer RSI and this is going to help you stay in a winning trade. Look at the same example here. If we got into Boeing at 143, the customer RSI is telling you to stay in this trade. It is in the bullish zone for a long time and it really doesn't come out until here. So you could have been in this trade for three months and had a fantastic trade on Boeing. So this is a brief description of the indicators. Now future videos is going to explain how all of this works in great detail. We'll see you there. Thanks.

Hello and how are you all today? My name is Priyanka and let us discuss this question. It says, a company has two plants to manufacture machines. Plant A manufactures 70% and plant B manufacture 30% machines. At plant A, 80% of the machines are rated of standard quality and plant B 90% of the machines are rated of standard quality. A machine is chosen at random and is found to be standard quality. What is the probability that it was manufactured by plant A? So let us discuss this question together here. Let E be the event that the machine is of standard quality. Let B1 be the event that the machine is manufactured by plant A and let B2 be the event that the machine is manufactured by plant B. Now we are given that probability that the machine is manufactured in plant A and the machine is of standard quality is given to us as 80% that can be written as 0.80 and the machine is of standard quality and is manufactured by machine 2 is given to us as 90% that is 0.90. Also probability that the machine is from plant A is 70% and probability that the machine is from plant B is given to us as 30%. Now we need to find out the probability that the standard machine has come out from plant A. So it will be equal to probability of plant A into probability of standard quality of a machine from plant A upon probability of plant A into probability of E upon plant A plus probability of plant B into probability of E upon plant B. Now what we need to do next is we need to just substitute these values from the given values that will be equal to 0.70 into 0.80 upon 0.70 into 0.80 plus 0.30 into 0.90. On simplifying we have 0.56 upon 0.83 which is further equal to 56 upon 83. So this is the required answer to the given question. I hope you have enjoyed the session. Bye and take care.


What is up everyone? Happy Friday, November 3rd 2023 Everybody's week has been great. We got green coming in the dial up two hundred eight points Nasdaq up 51 S&P up 27 So It has had a gap up more than point two five percent S&P as so I've been Yesterday, I did my first Reverse iron condor for a winner and one of the criteria is to put it on if it has a gap up of more than point two five percent Apple had earnings yesterday and It's down a little under two percent Let's come up some though since it dropped. It's Friday. So we will use the Seven days to expiration option chains. So make sure you're on those Not the zero Morning rookie trader Morning bumblebee Seven DTE seven days expiration a really good day to start November What was that on Tuesday or Wednesday last time I was on so hopefully Friday gives us a few Good good-looking signals and we'll be able to Get in a couple trades and then probably just get out Quite trade as much on Fridays. Typically. There is the bell Vix opens up down two percent It was up over 20 not long ago not down to fifteen point three four That was 175 Nasdaq up 55 S&P up 24 S&P pushing up and stack trying to push up. Okay pushing up Square had earnings yesterday. I noticed it was up pretty big It's currently up 14% now Getting the second bar here shortly Boeing pushing up in our second bar here now. So we'll be looking for some volume Apples down about one and three-quarter percent So it's come up a little bit since it's earnings yesterday after the bell Yeah, PLTR had the good earnings as well not really seeing any volume the moment Nothing nothing shag shaking Airbnb. Airbnb. I was gonna say but just turned red So I don't want to keep an eye on that see if it pushes up here Nothing nothing looking too Good at the moment Airbnb just not moving enough for me to one when we try to get in that AT&T yeah, I haven't never never a day trade AT&T So far nothing. No signals yet. Sometimes you gotta be a patient on Fridays. Oh We will just be patient Look for some mighty 90s here now. Yeah, Bob. I could get a mighty 90 here. I'm not one See if that gets bigger than the previous but not as big as the first That's slow potentially a lot of green on the board So Baba is already there. Let's tell me I left 30 seconds. Okay, so Baba. I'm gonna look at The seven days to expiration The 85 puts try to jump in here at $1.30 bill to $1.30 and Baba on the 85 But it's like a mighty 90 there. That's a lot of Tesla had a mighty 90 as well Let's just stick with Baba and I would close half at a $1.45 Boeing interestingly enough had a nice push up here. It's just kind of a little three-bar pause Roblox. Yeah, Roblox had a little mighty 90 there I'd like to see a little more volume pop. Well, it's a little more separation, but Technically, yes See Tesla is pretty good where it's has good separation and then Continues to push I'm gonna look at a mighty 90 short and Tesla 225 puts Oops, I gotta get to the 70 to eat my band 222.5 puts 222.5 puts Try to get filled at 490 I'm on the 225 puts. I have not got filled yet since I'm not sure why I'm honest with you Baba really pushed up.  Fill it 550 When the 225 puts of Tesla and I would close half at 605 so Baba pushed up Worry if I could have added to Baba. I was messing with Tesla Yeah, probably could have but it's come down since so I guess I'll just Leave it where it's at for now. I was gonna add it like $1.15 It has since come down Yeah, NVIDIA but not much volume separation there So I am Now Netflix the Netflix had it here. I even had three bars But it's already come down a bit Airbnb nice looking mighty 90 you can see how that separation is Definitely distinct right there. I am in two mighty 90 shorts So that's all I'm going to do for them at the moment in terms of a mighty 90 short I'm not gonna get in the three Airbnb definitely has one going on if you want to try that one. That's the pushing right up to highs Sometimes I think when things move so fast. It doesn't get filled Build it $1.35. Did I put that in wrong? I did oopsies I got filled on $1.35 and a half my Baba that's not what I meant put in I meant to put in $1.45 That's the pushing up. I would add to my Tesla like five bucks Yep, any seven DTE is correct. What I don't want to have happen is what happened to us in Metta On Wednesday where this bar gets bigger than the first on a mighty 90 short That if it gets bigger than the first and that's like, okay, that turns into an upside volume runner And it's time to bail on it. You got a minute to go Bar needs to slow down Baba not gonna give us a red bar. No, no Tesla's not gonna get there to thank goodness So still looking at a mighty 90. I was kind of hoping to add add to it at five bucks, but it never never filled me. Yep That's her Tesla did not get there just about the same as the previous volume bars No red bar out of Baba yet. Unfortunately. I got out of half just a little above where I entered Because I entered it wrong Yeah, we're in a mighty 90 in Baba So we get two consecutive red bars Apple trying to get the highs of day. Oh Amazon had a big green bar. I never saw that Kind of came back down though Boeing coming down AMD had a mighty 90 here and it pushed back up Although that bar is close to as big as the first so be careful with that one AMD that green bars as big as the first so I would not play AMD as a mighty 90 Right blockchain got a bar as big as the first you want something small to trade Yep, Disney with a mighty 90 short So any of those are fine to take if you want. I'm just sticking with my two that I have We got an order at five bucks to add the Tesla see if it comes up and hits me Roblox looks like it might got bars big as the first And he really pushing up there So that's still gonna give us a red bar Abba has not yet The Netflix have that mighty 90 That's getting two consecutive red bars now. I was in Tesla. So do not do Netflix So I'm gonna add to my Baba here $1.15 they can push up here for me Build at $1.17. So I added to Baba because it pushed back up here and kind of where it got rejected before And I would close half at $1.30 It was half my position That's so trying to give us two red bars even though it hasn't really moved much So I'm gonna cancel my Ad that I had for Tesla.  I still got a couple minutes left If you have an order in at 605 to close half, I don't know if at all it'll come down hit that or not I might have to just close it out because getting two consecutive red bars Boba Finally coming down Ordered it down. I thought I was gonna give us red bar now pop back up Crackies so Tesla gonna give us Two red bars here some go ahead and I'm gonna close all but two of my Teslas I'll see if it wants to push down one more time lead a couple contracts on Build it 580 Close just say three-quarters of my Tesla. Let's see if I get a push down here Wow Roblox with a big volume bar to the upside Interesting price movement today I'm gonna close the rest of my Tesla Actually, you know what I'm gonna just gonna hold my Tesla for another minute I'm gonna give it about one more minute to see if it wants to push lower Yeah, Tesla's or Boba's just not moving You can see how tight a range it has just watching Tesla here See if it'll push down one more time. I'll definitely be closing Tesla here in a second. Oh, man I thought I was gonna get filled on half my position there when it pushed down, but did not I'm gonna close my Tesla now. I just Didn't want to stay down Maybe I had an order at 605 close some of it and it didn't didn't fill so But it is a mighty 90 so rules are Close it all out. I left a couple open just in case We got an order in at six bucks to close it Meta really coming down here Build it $1.30 close half my position in Baba And get out of Tesla here But it's built at 605 close half my Tesla I'm sorry to get out of that my last final two contracts that I had on So Tesla's closed out Boba gave me one red bar. Yeah, Roblox It's got really tight range on it. I usually just ignore it like that There's any one more consecutive red bar and Baba Microsoft just flat lining Well, I'll have a popping back up So anything that scares me a little bit here about Boba's I'm in this mighty 90 It's kind of consolidating turning into maybe an upside continuation runner as it's pausing here So but a lot of times you'll get to two red bars out of it and then it'll Then it'll continue up. So I hope that's the case That's what's still coming down man. I guess I could have left left the contract on Very typical Friday. Just not I mean had some mighty 90s signals, but other than that haven't had much Pretty typical just tight range and most stocks Not a ton of volume Netflix had another mighty 90 long right here. I guess I could have gotten into that I missed that one. Okay, so Baba She may be coming down to give us a second red bar. Come on square pushing through loads a day Come on Baba. You can do it Fall all the way down to this pivot. All right. So I'm getting out of my Baba here All right, so I'm gonna close out my Baba Look at the dollar 33 Close Baba So it squeaked out to red Mars barely That's still still coming down. Darn it. That's crazy. Well Not in anything right now. I've only taken two trades They're both winners Not really seeing anything continuation wise Look at Boeing had big push-up out of the gate Then it just chopped and then it came down dipped its toe below this consolidation popped right back up See this pattern a lot. It's like, oh, I'm gonna Dip back down. Oh, I don't like dipping my toe in that cold water. I'm getting going back up Microsoft was one I was actually looking at for an upside continuation runner See how it pushed up and then it just chopped but I did not It was I was thinking it and well well folks. I don't think I'm gonna get anything else. It's Almost 920 central. I wish I could give you some potential ones to Get in if you want to continue trading, but It just isn't a lot going on Square it's not much volume there. They're really Let me take a look at toss See if it looks better It's up 12% So it's not a bad idea to get long Yeah, I mean, I guess it could qualify as this Yeah, it's a little better in toss It's a tight range, but if you wanted to trade something long, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go long because it's up 12% so If I was to get long something you'd probably be square right here Especially I'll come down to this pivot and toss All right guys, I will see everyone next week. Hope you guys have a great weekend. Peace


Well, I think although the challenges will be new challenges in the sense that there'll be challenges that are playing out in a different place, the challenges that we'll need to confront are the same old challenges that we actually already are confronting here on planet Earth. So to give you an example, there'll be the issue of how do we determine who gets access to new parts of space that are open for exploration? How are we going to understand claims to ownership when, if we discover that there are things in space that are of significant value? Are we going to have treaties? And if we are going to have treaties, are they going to include sharing clauses that ensure that whatever benefits arise from space exploration are widely shared through the world at large? Or are they going to be sort of on a first come, first serve so whoever gets to explore and exploit gets to claim full ownership in those sorts of resources? So those are questions that are familiar even from our world and we've confronted them before. So if you think about issues like how we are going to divide up the mineral wealth that may be sitting in seabeds that are not part of the territorial waters of any country. And here again there's the question of is it simply whoever can access them that will get acclaimed to them? Or should they be exploited only on terms that can be shown to be the benefit of mankind in general? And if you actually look at negotiations and discussions of things like the Law of Treaty, you see these very rival perspectives on just how we should think about the exploration of new resources like this. But there's another question which is sort of a question about conservation and whether or not we should conceive of ourselves as having any right to exploit resources that we find in space at all. Again that's the type of issue that comes up even now with our own planet when it comes to things like deep seabed resources. Are these resources that we should sort of feel morally free to exploit regardless of what terms we're trying to exploit them? Or do we think that they have a certain status that should be preserved and should be sort of kept free from certain kinds of human use?


A lot of confusion revolves around SEO because no one understands how the Googlebot actually works. Hello and welcome to another episode of SEO Mythbusting. With me today is Suze Hinton from Microsoft. Suze, what do you do at work and what is your experience with front-end and SEO? Yeah, so right now I'm doing less front-end these days. I focus more on IoT. So in the time you were a front-end developer? Yeah, I was a front-end developer for I think 12 or 13 years. And so I got to sort of work on lots of different contexts of front-end development, different websites, things like that. Today I wanted to like just address like a bunch of stuff about Googlebot specifically and like no doubt about Googlebot because that was the side of things that I was sort of the most confused about at the time. So Googlebot is basically your program that we run that does three things. The first thing is it crawls, then it indexes, and then last but not least there's another thing that is not really Googlebot anymore, that is the ranking bits. So we have to basically grab the content from the internet and then we have to figure out what is this content about, what is the stuff that we can put out to users looking for these things. And then last but not least is like which of the many things that we've picked for the index is the best thing for this particular query in this particular time, right? Got it, yeah. But the ranking bit, the last bit where we like move things around that is informed by Googlebot but it's not part of Googlebot. Is that because like there's this bit in the middle of the indexing, like the Googlebot is responsible for the indexing and making sure that that content is useful for the ranking engine to kind of... Absolutely, absolutely. You can imagine like someone has to, in the library, someone has to like figure out what the books are about and like get the index of the bits in the catalog, the catalog being our index really. And then someone else is using that index to make informed decisions and like going like, here this book is what you're looking for. I'm really glad you used that analogy because I worked in a library for like four years. Oh, so you got much better than I, how that works. And I was that person. People would be like, I want Italian cookbooks and I'm like, well it's 641.5495 and you would just like give it to them. So if I would come to you as a librarian and ask a very specific question, so what is the best book on making apple pies really quick? Would you be able to like figure out from the index of... You probably have lots of cookbooks. We did. Yeah, we had a lot. But given that I also put lots of books back on the shelf, I knew which ones were popular. I have no idea if we can link this back to Googlebot. That does. Yeah, it's pretty much so you have the index that probably doesn't really change that much unless you add new books to the... New editions. Exactly, yeah. So you have this index which Googlebot provides you with but then we have the second, the librarian, the second part that basically based on how the interactions with the index work figure out which books to recommend to someone asking for it. So that's pretty much the exact same thing there. Like someone figures out what goes into the catalog and then someone uses it. I love this. This makes total sense to me. But I guess that's still not necessarily all the answers you need, right? Yeah, I just want to know like what does it actually do? Like how often does it crawl sites? Like what does it do when it gets there? Like what is it sort of... How is it generally behaving? Like does it behave like a web browser? That's a really good question. Yeah. Generally speaking, it behaves a little bit like a browser. At least part of it does. So the very first step, the crawling bit is pretty much a browser coming to your page. Either because we found a link somewhere or you submitted a sitemap or there's something else that basically fiat that into our systems. You can use Search Console to give us a hint and ask for re-indexing in that trigger. So crawl before... I've done that before. Oh. Very good. I haven't re-asked for it to be done yet. And that is perfectly fine. Okay. But the problem then, obviously, is how often do you crawl things and how much do you have to crawl and how much can the server bear, right? If you're on the backend side, you know that you have a bunch of load and that might not be always the same thing. If it's like a Black Friday, then the load is probably higher than on any other day. So what Googlebot does is it tries to figure out from what we have in the index already, is that something that looks like we need to check it more often? Does that probably change? Is it like a newspaper or something? Got it, yeah. Or is that something like a retail site that does have offerings that change every couple of weeks or even do not change at all because this is actually the site of the museum that changes very rarely, like for the exhibitions maybe, but like a few bits and pieces don't change that much. So we try to like segregate our index data into something that we call daily or fresh and that gets crawled relatively frequently and then it becomes less and less frequent as we discover and if it's like something that is super spammy or super broken, we might not crawl it as often. Or if you specifically tell us, oh, no, do not index this, do not put this in the index. This is something that I don't want to show up in the search results and we don't come back every day and check, right? So you might want to use the re-index feature.  And then once it has to be there, you want to make sure that we are coming back and indexing again. So that's the browser bit. That's the crawler part. But then a whole slew of stuff happens in between that happening, us fetching the content from your server and the index having the data that is then being served and ranked. So the first thing is we have to make sure that we discover if you have any other resources on your page. The crawling cycle is very important. So what we do is the moment we have some HTML from you, we check if we have any links in there or images for that matter or video, something that we want to crawl as well. And that feeds right back into the crawling mechanism. Now, if you have a gigantic retail site, let's say, just hypothetically speaking, we can't just crawl all the pages at once, both for our resource constraints, but also we don't want to overwhelm your servers. So we basically try to figure out how much we can put, how much strain we can put on your servers and how much resources we've got available as well. And that's called the crawl budget oftentimes, but it's pretty tricky to determine. So one thing that we do is we crawl a little bit and then basically ramp it up. And when we start seeing errors, we ramp it down a little bit more. So like, oops, sorry for that. So whenever your server serves us 500 errors, there are certain tools in Search Console that allow you to say, hey, can you maybe chill out a little bit? But generally, we don't try to get all of it at once and then ramp down. We are trying to carefully ramp up, ramp down again, ramp up again, ramp down. It fluctuates a little bit. There's a lot more detail in there than I was even expecting. I didn't even know that... I guess I never considered that a Googlebot crawling event could put strain on somebody's website. That sounds like it's a lot more common than I even thought it would be. It does happen, especially if we discover, say, a page that has lots of links to subpages, then all of these go into the crawling queue. And then you might... These have links to... Let's say you have 30 different categories of stuff, and each of these have a few thousand products and then a few thousand pages of products. So we might go like, oh, cool. Crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl, crawl. And then we might crawl a few hundred thousand pages. And if we don't spread that out a little bit, so it's a weird balance. On one hand, if you add a new product, you want that to be surfaced in search as quickly as possible. On the other hand, you don't want us to take all the bandwidth that your server offers. Cloud computing makes that a little less scary, I guess. But I remember the days... I'm not sure if you remember the days where you had to call someone and they ask you to send a form or fax a form and then two weeks later you get the confirmation letter that your server has been started. Yes. I remember the days when we would have to call and then we would basically pay $200 to have a human go down the aisles and push the physical reset button on the server. Those times were not tricky. I remember those days.  That's not what we want to have. Yeah, these days it's more of a hacker news kind of moment when you've got a hit. Exactly. So I feel like you're much more considerate than... Yeah, we try to not overwhelm anyone and we respect the robots.txt, so that works within the crawl step as well. And once we have the content, we can't put strain on your infrastructure anymore, so that's fantastic. But modern web apps being mostly JavaScript driven, we then put that in a queue and then once we have the resources to render it, we actually use another headless browser kind of thing. We call that the web rendering service. Then there's other crawlers as well that might not have the capacity or the need to run JavaScript. It's like social media bots, for instance, they come and look for metadata. If that meta tag is coming in with JavaScript, you usually have a bad time and they're just like, sorry. Yeah, so that's always been a big myth. And I remember when single page applications or spas really came into vogue, a lot of people were really concerned. There's a lot of FUD around. Well, if crawlers in general don't execute JavaScript, then they're going to see a blank page on how to get around that. So contextually within Googlebot, it sounds like Googlebot executes JavaScript, even if it does do it at a later point. Yes, correct. So that's good. That's good. But is there anything that people need to be aware of beyond just, oh, well, it'll just run it, and then it'll see exactly the same thing as a human with a phone or a desktop would see.  So the most important thing is, again, as you said, it's deferred. It happens at a later point. So if you want us to crawl your stuff as quickly as possible, that also means we have to wait to find these links that JavaScript injects, that basically we crawl, we have to wait until JavaScript is executed, then we get the rendered HTML, and then we find the links. So the nice little short loop that finds these links relatively quickly right after crawling will not work, right? So we will only see the links after we render, and this rendering can take a while because the web is surprisingly big. Yeah, just a little bit. That was like 130 trillion docs in 2016. Oh, so there's way more now. There's way more than that. So robots.txt is very effective at being able to sort of tell bots how to do a certain thing. But in this scenario, how do you tell that it's Googlebot visiting your site? That's a good question. So as we are basically using a browser in two steps, one is the crawling and one is the actual rendering, both of these moments, we do give you the user agent header. But basically there's the string list, literally the string Googlebot in it. Oh, that's so straightforward. Yes, and you can actually use that to help with your SPA performance as well. So as you can detect on the server side, oh, this is Googlebot user agent requesting, you might consider sending us a pre-rendered static HTML version, and you can do the same thing for the others, like all the other search engines and social media bots have a specific string saying that they are a robot. So you can then basically go like, oh, in this case, I'm not giving you the real deal, the single-page app, I'm giving you this HTML that we pre-rendered for you. It's called dynamic rendering. We have docs on that as well. The one thing that still doesn't quite make sense to me is, does the Googlebot kind of have different contexts? Like, does it sometimes pretend that it's like, I think of it as this little mythical creature that's pretending to do certain things. So like, does it pretend to be on a mobile and then desktop? Like, are there different sort of, I guess, user agents even though it still says Googlebot? Do you differentiate between them? You're asking great questions because, yes, we have different user agents. So I'm not sure if you heard about mobile-first indexing being rolled out and happening. I've heard that, like, it's going to affect, like, how you're ranked potentially. I don't know if that's a rumor or not. Ah, that's two different things that get conflated so often. So mobile-first indexing is about us discovering your content using a mobile user agent and a mobile viewport. So we are using mobile user agents and the user agent string says so it says something about Android in the name and then you're like, aha, so this is the mobile Googlebot. We have documentation in there. There's literally a help center article that lists all these things. So we try to index mobile content to make sure that we have something nice to serve for people who are on mobile. But we're not pretending like random user agents or anything. We stick to the user agent strings that we have documented as well. And that's mobile-first indexing where we try to get your mobile content into the index rather than the desktop content. And then there's mobile readiness or mobile friendliness. If your page is mobile-friendly, it makes sure that everything is within viewport and you have large enough tap targets and all these kind of lovely things. And that just is a quality indicator. We call these signals. We have over 200 of them. That's a lot. So Googlebot collects all these signals and then stuffs them as metadata into the index. And then when we rank, we're like, okay, so this uses on mobile. So maybe this thing that has a really good mobile friendliness signal attached to it might be a better one than the thing where they have to pinch zoom all the way out to be able to read anything and then can't actually deal with the different links because they're too close to each other. So that's one of the many. It's not the signal. It's one of the many signals. It's one of the over 200 signals to deal with. I had no idea there were 200. That's making me... I know that you're not allowed to share what they all are because there has to be a certain mystique around it because of a lot of SEO abuse in the past. Yeah, unfortunately, that is a game that is still being played and people are doing weird stuff to try to game us. And the interesting thing with this is with the 200 signals, it's really hard to say which one gets you moving in the ranks. The weights of each signal. And they keep moving and they keep changing. So I love when people are like, no, let's do this. And then look, my rank change is like, yeah, for this one query. But you lost on all the other queries because you did really weird and funky stuff for that. So just build good content for the users and then you'll be fine. I feel like that feels like less effort as well than constantly trying to... Yeah. But it's not an easy answer, right? You will pay me to make you more successful on search engines. And I come to you and say like, so who are your users and what do they need and how could you express that so that they know that it's what they need. That's a hard one because that means I basically bring the ball back to you and now you have to think about stuff and figure out strategically. Whereas if I'm like, okay, I'm just going to get you links or do some funky tricks here and then you'll be ranking number one. That's an easier answer. It's the wrong answer, but it's the easier answer. It is a little bit, yeah. It's the most important metric ever. And I'm like, no, we have over 200 and it's important, but it's not that important and chill out everybody, but this still happens. I'm so glad it's better now. I feel actually more at peace in general with SEO as well after speaking to you today. That's so nice. That's so good. So thank you so much for being with me here and it has been a great pleasure. Yeah, thanks for answering all of my weird and wonderful questions about the Googlebot. Perfect questions, perfect opportunity. Did we bust some booths? I feel like we did. Fantastic. I think that's worth a high five. Awesome. Thanks. Thanks. Join us again for the next episode of SEO booth busting, where Jamie Albarico and I will discuss if JavaScript and SEO can be friends and how to get there.


I can already hear the commenters and the dislikeers frantically hammering their keyboards about this title but in this video I'm gonna explain why science is wrong or at least why you should think about what what is science really what is the truth about reality and how can we be so sure that something that's scientifically proven is actually the case so hopefully this won't come as a surprise to you but throughout history science has constantly evolved it's constantly changed adapted you know reversed its opinion on certain massive things there's been all kinds of paradigm shifts where everything we thought we knew was wrong and they publicly admitted this and said actually now this is the way this is how it works and now this is the scientific consensus and this consensus has changed enormously over the course of history absolutely enormously to the point where literally the science of the day and the scientific consensus of experts thought the earth was flat this is how enormously the paradigms have shifted and how it really illustrates how we we really can't trust or take the scientific consensus as the absolute truth because throughout history it's just been completely wrong countless amounts of times by the way if you want to learn how to lose a dream check out the PDF free PDF and video training links in the description or just go to how to lose it comm forward slash gift so the scientific method the entire definition of the scientific method is to criticize doubt comment on and improve upon existing science that's the whole point of science is to criticize and change existing science so when you hear essentially when you hear people say that this is something that's true because the scientific experts all agree or you know the majority of them agree on something and that means it's absolutely true that is just 100% not the case because like I said historically they've been wrong countless times you know only a few short years ago they thought asbestos was healthy they doctors and experts were recommending pregnant mothers to smoke cigarettes and you know this was in the last century this has happened so now when you have people who are so blindly and naively trusting the same organizations and scientists and believing they're telling the truth now it's not a good idea to trust 100% that today's science is is the truth and is correct because like I said it's been wrong so many times before and a really good example of this is the current debate or controversy around quantum mechanics and quantum physics now like I've said many many times before I am not a quantum physicist okay I'm not qualified in quantum mechanics and I probably never will be and I don't want to be because there are many people who are qualified in that who have spent their whole life studying quantum mechanics and quantum physics and I can just summarize and learn from their work but the interesting thing is when people will take let's say traditional scientists opinions on quantum mechanics and let's say with the multiverse right let's say if eight out of ten scientists believe that the multiverse is impossible or it's not it's not the case it doesn't exist eight out of ten scientists let's say that's today that means two out of ten scientists might believe that it's possible so how on earth can we can we know for sure that those two scientists are wrong we simply can't in the same way that you know way back in the day when they thought the earth was flat that was the consensus of the scientist and experts of the day they believe that to be the truth and you would have had people arrogantly defending that truth when somebody suggested it's actually a globe so just think about that for a second people throughout history in the scientific world have always felt that they know the truth without any doubt and they've almost always been wrong almost always and that applies to me too I I might be wrong and I'm very willing to admit it when I am wrong if I'm proved wrong but to assume that one consensus is true is to ignore history now with quantum mechanics the interesting thing that's happening now is that experiments that are being done and have been done in quantum mechanics are proving and confirming beliefs that we had 5,000 years ago we've come almost full circle and these beliefs are things like we're all interconnected we're all part of the same conscious holographic seed the quantum or you know the seed of the universe it's been called many things we all essentially manifest and create our own reality and and there's a few other things as well like it seems like how universe operates like a giant cosmic clock and it seems to operate in cycles repeating cycles of about 24,000 years these have been known as UGAS or really the UGAS are a breakdown of that 24,000 year cycle and then this is broken down into further cycles and this correlates with astrological and numerology based you know cycles and predictions this they knew this 5,000 years ago and they were using this system these systems of astrological time calculation and prediction and only now are we kind of proving with let's say with astrology we are now proving and confirming things about the universe about the orbits of the planets about the constellations that they that were in ancient carvings in ancient Sumeria 5,000 or 4,000 years ago now you know i could get into a whole thing about what that means does that mean we are more advanced then there's an interesting rabbit hole to go down but it certainly means that what we think we know today is unlikely to be the truth or at least it's unlikely to be the whole truth so when you consider or when you hear somebody else firmly say this is the scientific consensus and this means it's fact just really question that for a second and remind them that science throughout history has been wrong so many times about so many huge things so yeah it's just something to think about i felt that this needed to be shared and let me know what you think about this


So we're gonna break down some teams and get John's thoughts and everybody's thoughts on some major league baseball teams besides the Yankees that have Improved this offseason. We have a two-headed monster as it regards the Chicago White Sox Meredith will start with you They had a sneaky good offseason, but let's be honest. They had a lot of improving to do They were 72 and 89 last season and take a look at some of the additions Geo Gonzales Dallas Keichel Edwin and Karnassian Mazzara I'm missing one Jack. Who am I missing Edwin and Karnassian? There we go So we got a little bit more offense and it's not just about the names that they acquired They also have a lot of youth on that team. That's exciting Michael Kopeck's gonna be another year older not to mention They have a menace in the outfield. That's certainly a team to watch in the central That's why Meredith and I ended up picking the same team because if you were looking for a pick to click a team That is going to absolutely win more games than it did last season pick the Chicago White Sox Not just for the players they added but I'm an agreement with Meredith Moncada is a rising star Anderson won a batting title last year. She mentioned to men as they signed a young Cuban outfielder Robert to a six-year fifty million dollar deal before he's ever played a game in the major leagues and basically said go be our Center fielder for the next six years and on top of that. I think they're in a softer division I think the twins are gonna fall back. I think the Indians are a little bit stuck I don't know if they want to contend or want to rebuild I think this could be a big year for the White Sox. All right, so John you looked at the landscape and baseball Who do you think has improved greatly? Well, I think the angels have I don't know if they have the pitching I mean you have to see it to realize it, but they're gonna have a lot of power They added Anthony Rendon was about as good as any any hitter. Oh, Tony will be back full-time Mike trout Albert pools. So they're gonna have a tremendous power on their team It's been years since the angels were a big team, but it could be this year No, I also wondered that Joe Madden factor, right? It is when he changed his teams There's always a little bit of a ripple effect. Oh, he's terrific manager. He'll get the most out of them But you know, he doesn't pitch that's always it's always comes down to the pitching where they're gonna score a lot of runs All right, we'll see what they do with pitching they have signed a couple kind of second-tier guys We'll see where that goes. All right. Just take American League or to go nationally. No, I went National League National League East I think the Philadelphia Phillies made some really good moves. I think bringing in DD Gregorius Obviously and Jack you talked about this a guy is probably gonna rebound this year. Zack Wheeler added to that rotation You have Andrew McCutcher who's gonna come back healthy this year. That's gonna be big for them But the name at the bottom there Joe Girardi the new manager I'm curious to see what Joe Girardi does with this team It was a talented team to begin with a very tough division But did Joe Girardi take the year two off and basically regroup a little bit become a little bit more player friendly I think Gabe Kapler those teams they faded down the stretch. I don't think Joe Girardi's clubs are going to do that He's a master with the bullpen keeping guys healthy David Robertson probably comes back at the end of the year I think Joe Girardi is gonna make a big difference for that ball club


Hello everyone, this is Ahmed Dan of AhmedDan.com. Today I will have another episode of easy cooking video and I'll show you how to cook simple beef at home. So I have all the ingredients ready right here and I'll just go over them one by one. So the first thing you're looking at the beef and the amount I have here is lesser than half kg. So the ingredients are based on the beef amount. If you're increasing the beef amount or decreasing the beef amount then you have to just adjust the other ingredients as well. But basically you know it works. You don't have to worry too much about like you know being too perfect because nothing is perfect and then you're going to learn you know once you started cooking it. So not to worry about too much having the right amount at the first time. So the beef again is lesser than half kg and then I have potatoes here. You don't have to use potatoes but the reason I use potatoes because it gives the volume to the curry and also like you know it adds a separate flavor which I like. So basically potatoes come very good with beef and it adds you know more flavor and taste to the beef curry. And then we have the spices which is very important. So the salt you're looking at right here is about two teaspoon of salt. You can you know put it more or less based on your salt intake. I try not to make it too salty because you know I don't like being I don't like to eat food being too salty. So it's about two teaspoon. And then here this is the main ingredient of beef curry which is turmeric or some call it turmeric. And here you're looking at about two tablespoon which is this size. And then we have coriander and cumin and these are one tablespoon each. And then I added a slight red pepper and this is about one teaspoon or a little bit lesser than one teaspoon. If you are putting this much too stuff it's gonna be too spicy. So just like you know based on your spice intake adjust this amount. And then here we have onions, ginger and garlic. These are the very important ingredients to cook any type of curry especially for beef curry. So in beef curry you need lots of onion. And here I chopped one full red onion. And here you can see that you know I chopped it into very tiny pieces. And here it's not that much chopped. It's like in almost a whole. Although it's chopped so you can see right here. The reason is that these are going to be melted once the beef is done. And these will give you know the beef a little bit of volume and extra flavor. But you don't have to actually do it this way. You can do it anyway you want. And we have 7 to 10 cloves of garlic. Garlic also like you know a very special ingredient for beef. And then I have here a little bit of ginger. And this is I would say about one teaspoon or half tablespoon somewhere in between. So these are other ingredients. And we have here the other ingredient which is very important is extra virgin olive oil. Any olive oil would do. But you know I prefer to use extra virgin olive oil to get the most out of your beef. So the amount I have here is about 30 ml or lesser. And we have here slightly lesser than one ounce. So basically these are all the ingredients. And we're going to cook this slow to medium. Not too high. And I'm going to be cooking for about 30 to 45 minutes. And I'm not going to add the potatoes initially because I'll just wait like you know 20 minutes. And after 20 minutes I'll add the potato because what happens if you add potatoes right away then it's going to get all melted. It's not going to be whole and nice looking. But if you add potatoes after half of the cooking or half way through which is about I would say like you know 15 20 minutes then it's going to get you know intact and then it's going to look much better. And you can add slightly a little bit of water but you don't don't put too much water that's going to make like like you know the whole beef curry like your soup.  It's not going to make it too dry. So it's going to still give you the like a little bit of soup looking but it's not going to be too soupy. So we'll just you know add slightly water later on. So let's start with what we have here. So this is the pot we are going to be using and I'm going to just you know add everything one by one in here. So the first thing I'm going to put in the beef and potatoes I'm leaving it for later. And then I'm going to start with the onion, ginger and garlic. So we have it here. So so far it looks this way. We have beef, onion, ginger and garlic and then I'm going to you know add all the spices together. And the last thing I'm going to add is the oil but let me just show you how it looks. It looks very colorful and nice and I'm going to just you know spread the oil all over it. And right now I'm going to just wash this to take the you know remaining oil which are still in the you know container. So let's add slight water not too much. So this is going to be actually my water intake. I'm not going to put in more water than this. So I'm going to just you know add all this water and then I'll have to just mix this together. So you know the all the spices and onions and garlics everything gets everywhere instead of like you know staying at one place. So I'll just like you know mix this very nicely. I like to cook beef very slowly. That way it brings all the flavor and the taste and the color. So you know we are looking at 30 to 45 minutes and here I'm going to be like you know checking in between to make sure that it is not overcooked.  But here you have to like you know check it manually to make sure that you know it's not overcooked or undercooked. And when I'm going to show you later on how you can tell that you know the beef is fully cooked. So we have everything here and you can see that you know everything melted inside very nicely or everything like you know mixed together. And right now so I'm going to have to just start you know cooking. So I'm going to put it on the stove and start very slowly. Initially I'm going to you know leave it at medium but later on I'll even lower from medium to like you know one or two marks about right here. So for now just leave it leave it at medium and then I'm going to just you know cover this and you can hear the noise. So it starts cooking and then we're going to be adding or put it to about 20 minutes later which I have it right here. Hello everyone. We passed about 20 to 25 minutes and I'm going to check how it looks right now. And I had to lower the you know heat because it was kind of getting too much or overheated. And I checked a few times in between to see it's not sticking to the bottom. So you have to make sure that you know it's not. And so far I haven't added any extra water. So we'll just we'll just take a look at it now how it looks. So you can see here that it's boiling and so far looks like you know we didn't have to add any more water. So what I'll do although we didn't have to add water but you know the it looks a little bit thick. So I'm just going to add slightly more water and put in the potato because I don't want you know this much thick soup. I just want a little bit lighter.  So I'm adding another two ounce or close to 50-55 milliliter of water. So I'll just put it in and I'm going to just you know steer them properly so the beef gets all the spices and everything. So this is how it looks. So I'm going to just you know keep cooking for another 20 minutes and we'll check. So we may need more time but you know we'll see at that time after 20 minutes how it looks. So I'll just you know cover this and then I'm going to just take a look at it again but in between I'll also make sure that you know it's nothing is sticking to the bottom. So we passed another 20 minutes since we put in the potatoes and now we have the finished beef curry. So I kept checking in between and if they're like you know when you if you see that the heat is too much you can lower the heat or if you see that you know the water is too low and sticking to the bottom then you can just you know add a little bit more water. One way you can check if your beef is done or not.  You shouldn't have too much effort to chew it or another we can check if the beef is done that you just take a beef and you cut it with a knife and you should be able to you know cut the beef without too much pressure and it's going to be not you know too hard or too hard to cut. So for example if you look at it right here you see that I was able to cut it very easily and it's not too much effort and you know it looks very soft and well done. And in terms of taste the taste is very good. So this is just a simple way to cook a beef. Adjust the ingredients which I showed you before to make it more spicy or you know to make it salty but the time it took me about 45 minutes because I was you know doing it at very low heat but if you you know increase the heat then definitely you can do it faster but this is my observation that doing or cooking at lower heat that brings more flavor and color and smell and as you can see that you know it looks really nice and it's not too watery or too dry. So it should is the perfect way to have beef curry. So that's all for today. Thank you for watching this video. If you like this video then I'll do some more simple cooking videos in the future and I'll see shortly. Thank you.


All this month get any smartphone 32gigand under for 50% off regular price at Appalachian Wireless. Better service, bigger savings, that's today's Appalachian Wireless. While supplies last, two-year agreement required. The proposed insurance premium tax in Letcher County is dead for now. In a four-hour meeting Monday night in Weizberg, the Letcher Fiscal Court voted unanimously to not accept the first reading of the proposed insurance premium tax ordinance. The second time in a week the court has shot down their proposal. Judge executive Jim Ward who lobbied for the passage of the tax or some other plan to plug the county's projected $1.3 million budget shortfall and who also voted along with the court to not accept the reading said the measure is now dead. Ward said the county would not have enough time now to pass the tax ordinance and it become effective. But out of the long meeting came the suggestion from Letcher County Sheriff's Deputy Barry Engle to consider an occupational tax instead of the insurance tax. The large crowd at the meeting reluctantly embraced that alternative plan. On a large scale all of them prefer the occupational tax so you know if that's what they prefer that's what we'll get but I'm afraid that the occupational tax won't go either. People packed in for the meeting meaning speaking in opposition to the proposed insurance tax and others taking the fiscal court to task for the county's financial standing. It doesn't matter how you got here. It doesn't matter who did what or who voted for what here. Fix it. I don't care how you pay my tax share of taxes. I'll work. My husband works.  So you are not given as a long term solution. I'm already taxed enough. I can pay the tax but I don't want to pay any more taxes. Ward said the fiscal court will have to decide soon upon a plan to address the budget shortfall. He added that he is fearful that the court will also defeat the occupational tax, leaving the county with fewer options. If it dies too and this is dead, that's our fault. Once we eliminate all revenue sources, local government completely shuts down. Although during Monday's meeting, the Letcher County REC Center was discussed, with some saying the center should be sold and others saying that it is too valuable to the community to give up. The court took no action on the REC Center. Ward said another special fiscal court meeting will be called soon to consider an occupational tax.

This is a Game Dev 101 video, so you are going to learn general concepts. But to demonstrate them, we are going to use the Godot Engine. In the Godot Engine we can define input actions in the project, project settings, input map. For instance, these are the input actions in this project. With an input action defined, we can check for input events, such as pressed and released. For instance, when the move-up action is pressed, we can accelerate a spaceship. Take a look at the official documentation to know more about Godot Engine input system. Links in the description. Instancing is a concrete creation of an object in the game. It can be a visual effect, a monster, or an abstract object, such as a damaged object with information such as damage type or damage source. In games, there is a special type of instancing that is called spawning. It is essentially the same process, but spawning refers to concrete objects in the game world, such as a monster, an NPC, loot, and so on. Check out my spawning studio video to understand how spawning works. As an example, in this game we spawn bullets from the player's weapon. Because they are part of the game world, the spawning process requires a positioning space to place the objects. In this specific case, I also rotate the bullets so they move in the direction the player shot them. Object interactions are the core of the game. The player is talking to an NPC, the sword of a boss is lashing through the player's flesh, or like in this case, a bullet hitting an asteroid. We need to detect when all this happens. In games, the way we usually detect such interactions is by checking if the objects are overlapping. And for that, we have the error to denote. It has four useful signals for this purpose. Area entered, area exit, body entered, and body exit. Using these features, we can create a hit and hurt system. If you want to know more about hitboxes and hurtboxes, check out this video from DiddyQuest. And now we finally have a toy to play with. If we had a goal and some incentives, we can even make a game out of it. I just started a membership campaign on Ko-fi.

Okay, I don't move anything. Okay. All right, we're live Hold on one Everyone okay, I'm on here my typical route of What are we actually going right now?  Yeah, I'm back Oh My god, I haven't been on the stream in any two months why I just get notification by HQ Wait, we start she's streaming right now. Yep. Yeah, holy moly. Okay, so Charlie. Who are you? I Am the British boy. I haven't been here in two months. So hi. I'm back And Then co-blast everyone knows you a bit Yeah, but I think I'm the one who has really really explaining to do I haven't been on in like three weeks on a weekly recap Boy, I'm in like two months Yeah, we've only been on once so Yeah, he does have a point there Hey Oh god, how am I gonna look at the stream without all right? Okay. So everything set up. Hi guys Everyone knows me. I'm Kenos Wonderland fan or Brendan if you know me from Wonderland I guess start off with saying thank you so much. We finally hit 4k subscribers and now we're on our journey to 5k Yeah, no, that's too far away We'll talk at the end about the 5k subscriber challenge, but right into it with Carol wins So I This is what happens when you put the Brits in charge of something There we go Alrighty Thank you everyone for saying congratulations. So we'll start off right away Mac Obviously, it's confirmed now and every that pretty much brings everything into place this layout is probably correct everything about it Heroin's is goddamn lucky Everyone wishes their their home park was getting a double-launch Mac and yeah What do you guys think about it? I was just gonna say I wish my home park would get one for that ain't gonna happen I mean you are from LeRan, so let's be really honest You're from CGA that ain't much better. I Mean is it? May you go All right, yeah, at least we get more than a flat Okay My thoughts like they're pretty damn lucky because we just got here over here icon here in the UK and The reviews for that have been fantastic No, it does not But still this is fantastic like it's gonna be amazing like it's Mac like what can you Yeah, so I wanted to talk about something about this so Mac is obviously cedar fairs way of replacing intimate in my opinion What do you guys I definitely agree? However, I don't think this ride will be as intense as something intimate would make though Mm-hmm, you know what I mean Like I recently got the chance to go over to Cedar Point with with you easement insiders crew And I will say that I don't think this is gonna be a matter No No, even most likely will not one thing that I'm wondering is So on the layout you have the looks to be a loop and then the launch Is the launch going through the loop kind of like it how it does with time traveler? Yeah. Oh my god I hope so. Yeah, it looks like it. Mm-hmm. Yeah, it does launch top hat Some work of an overbank there probably and then a loop So Canada's Wonderland's bowing down to this coaster in 2019 What could have been our year to win the Golden Ticket award is now? Taken away from well We still don't know that but it's kind of a slimmer chance Yeah, I in my opinion a Mac double launch is gonna win any day Even if it's a wing dive, whatever it is the Mac double launch wins hands down in my opinion Brendan you're forgetting one thing RMC white cyclone. Oh We're not there in our C Rob. Oh, oh, I see what you're saying. Oh, you're right. You're right And RMC whatever they're doing with Six Flags stuff. I mean what what okay, yeah, that's not gonna happen All right, moving on six Flags won the Golden Ticket award recently. No, I think the last time they won it was With Superman a long time ago. Yeah, yeah Does anyone else have anything else to say about the Mac? I know we're gonna be making tons of videos on Carolyn So if there's any Carolyn's fans in here, stay tuned. We're waiting on some plan What's their content to move forward with that? So yeah, I'm more patient. I promise you the Canada's Wonderland videos are Moving to the back About the layout honestly is growing on me Me too. All right. It looked like a paint by numbers type thing earlier. It looks like a Jojo roll It's not as well. I know the layout actually And I just I I've hoped for that there that there at least be another Jojo roll on another coaster and It looks like 2019. I'll be finally returning Like Obviously Okay, so why don't we start off with what is the probably most impressive ride out of this group I'm kidding. No, it's mighty grow hangover All right, honestly icon though Yes, it's impressively like well paced people complain at the start, but it's been comes so much better I'm all about our ride experience and long layout. So I have to give it to icon Yeah, I mean when I When I recently watched the POV it looked like it was some sort of family coaster because I totally forgot that there was inversions in it So I honestly thought like, you know what for a family coaster. It's actually pretty good But and then I saw the inversions. I'm just like oh Interesting. So why don't we go over these one by one? So what's hangover and six flags building a lot of these and I mean even cedar fair is starting to dip their toes into the whole super loop Atmosphere and In events. What do you guys think this means for cedar fair and six-frags are we gonna see a lot of these like I don't like all night Is this a new SLC fair is going to abuse it like six flags did I think I think only a couple of parts are actually gonna get Super loops in this year fair chain I don't necessarily think that it because like for suit for six blocks. There's like One in every park except like maybe like three or four parts Or maybe five See, I think for First year fair where I'm just gonna see maybe two or three at most. Mm-hmm. I could see that Okay, so what about twisted cyclone. What do you guys think about that? Fantastic, I heard I heard that it's actually it that sometimes it could be bear with then Twisted Colossus when twisted Colossus does not dual That's that's About these RMC's just to keep the conversation going and super, you know on top of it is why is six flags not having problems with RMC and why is cedar fair? Is a vitamin Maybe cuz then you maybe because they have worked for RMC before and six blocks before has worked for RMC. So that they're gonna take that into common and Also, it's a consideration. Yeah, for sure. It's it's almost interesting I still don't remember hearing about incidents or whatever Well with the exception of New Texas giant, but that's because of the train issue or ride or ride attendant error Yeah, but I hadn't heard of any issues yet from six right maybe six sides. Let's get it. Yeah Also, though the exact same thing that happened to steel vengeance could have happened at a six-flags park But not while riders were on it Yeah, so they just kept quiet about it. Yeah Oh Tram I think they about this coaster. Oh, no It is a great addition I can agree with you there. Yeah, well the people around there. They don't have much and It it looks really good. I would they definitely needed it. I would consider making a trip out there to go and ride it Yeah See I'm the opposite See for me, I would say Because obviously it's a very small park, but now that it's a part of it's gonna be a part of the six flags chain They're gonna be adding some Soon they're gonna be adding something new every year So it's not gonna be like Michigan's adventure where they get nothing like all the time They're gonna be getting something new every single year And I think that's gonna boost attendance up and get more people to visit and I think it's It's good for them. Also the fact that my six flags pass works there starting next year Will get me there probably. Oh, yeah, they're going to really can't they? Yeah, you are so behind on your news Ladies and gentlemen, what are your uh wraps from Europe? Look, I don't look up on the news constantly All right All right that icon we kind of just discussed in full I want to say something about icon. Um, and it's the same thing that I and I was one of them I thought it had a picture that thought it looked sluggish But do you guys think that enthusiasts always tend to really judge a coaster before even riding it? I mean the answer is obvious, but yeah um I always you guys know I always mix up my RMCs the one at king's island, but it's that one called It was in wicket. Oh my god Mystic dude, there we go Mystic timbers it like people were like so disappointed when they announced that coaster like people were like messaging on the King's island facebook page like should have got bigger They thought the whole thing because they teased what's in the shed was a gimmick Not even people just thought the layout looked boring. I remember it. I remember facebook Oh, yeah, the conference and then People ride it and they're like blown away. I mean the same thing goes for the europe park with an just cycling Yeah, like everyone hated these things and now everyone's like, oh my god, amazing so it's like, um Oh my god, I definitely did just come on. Oh my god fluffy. I did Gci And you know what I'm sunburn. I had a really long day All right, do we have anything to say about marty girl hangover? No, we already did. Oh, we did. Oh, okay Anything to say about icon or what I just said like do you agree? It looks brilliant Just looks pretty good. I don't want to write it now. So I'm I'm planning on making a visit See you're closer than me though. Yeah. Yeah, so Next week next slide All righty, okay, I have to ask you about this so Okay, I enthusiast do this all the time. Who are you circling? And what boy, uh, okay, so this is clayton laurence. Uh, he was the special events manager Uh, uh, at california's gray america, but now he's actually moved into corporate They they are in desperate need of a war park expansion and one of the rumors is that In the they used to have in this area called yankee harbor Which had yankee clipper and loggers run and so A popular rumor has been that they're going to redeem from our day to yankee harbor and And now it's going to be because that uh, sort of the teaser marker that we saw um, a couple uh last week That the there was markings under it saying two 80 foot drop thingy um and That could mean two 80 foot drop slides. It could um, we don't know where it could be but The way that he said not sure how australia fits into gray america in quotation marks meaning They could possibly be referencing An old attraction aka yankee clipper, which is the whole area was yankee harbor So if very well could be a war park expansion for 2019 And I would say that at this point we are 97 percent sure that it will be a war park expansion for 2019 I will say it's a hundred percent sure Control alt delete me at the end of the season when they announce a coaster, but I think uh, I think I think it's I think this is great for cga. I mean the water park um formula for sear fair is now a thing um under matt weeman and the new guy Um, and I think it's going to benefit cga in a lot of ways water parks bringing a lot of people I mean at wonderland today. It was so warm and the water park was busier than the dry park Well, it definitely will because we've been I think that a lot of people have said that we've had we have one of the worst war parks In the chain because like we're like down the middle and in terms of like of tiered of uh of like tiered um ranks of the parks in the chain And so far I think I've heard a few people say that like we have the worst kind of war park or just like Like it definitely needs a facelift and I think that That could it definitely be what we are getting in 2019 all right moving on Um, anyone have anything else to say about the water park coming to cga No, I'm passion. I love water parks at the park. So I'm all For this and water parks bring families. So this is great for cga. And this is Phase two of their expansion plan or phase three phase two And actually, um, I think on the plan they said that in the water park expansion There would be a water coaster. So and a brand new entrance. So I'm wondering if that's also going to happen in 2019 or Or if they're going to wait for another year or their second expansion Once they want to expand it again to do that even will happen I believe the entrance is definitely going to happen though Yeah, yeah, right because it's kind of just like there Mm-hmm. All right next slide Oh I died inside when I heard about this Yeah Okay, so I guess so this is gonna be a long subject because there's a lot to discuss here. So first of all This sucks Um, second of all, please correct me if I'm wrong, but everyone is okay, right? No one Yeah, yes, uh seven firefighters were injured Michael mac confirmed that no one has been and no casualties have been reported. So the firefighters are injured Thank you to them. Um firefighters always like run into burning buildings risk their lives. Yeah. So thank you 500 firefighters Yeah, thank you. Wow, right. Thank you. Yeah wow So there were a couple of rides damaged in this I believe and from what I'm hearing from you British boy yours Why don't you explain it because you're the one that told me? so, um It was about 6 p.m. Yesterday um as of now and so A massive fire broke out in put in the Scandinavian area of of Europa park over in rusting Germany and um basically Um rumor has it that it started in one of the restaurants and all that but we're going to get on to that later but The main things that were damaged the entire Scandinavian area has been destroyed. Uh, Norway's been damaged um And also piratino metavia Um, or piratino metavia, I don't know whatever, but um, that's been completely destroyed There's no chance that's being rebuilt. I doubt it highly doubt it Too soon for jokes guys Someone said is that wildfire? Okay, that was a good one. I'll give you that I'm not looking at that side. There's no one dying.  No, it's it's not too soon because everyone's okay. Like ever no one died. Yeah Yeah, but I want to say something that blue fire and we're not damaged in that Yeah, thank god, right? Because the wind was blowing in that direction apparently Yeah um, so The good thing about this and a lot of people forget this is a massive park And big parks even small parks have really good insurance policies So don't like be too upset. This could be okay Like let's use the example if you know when there's a forest fire the forest grows back twice as strong if you've ever heard that reference yeah so Maybe the maybe something good will come out of this like don't be too upset. Maybe we'll see something good the insurance policy Oh Use your arrow keys. There we go. There you go. Here's more of it um, the top the top image is the damage that was done um, then as you can see by the arrows that are pointing uh rumor has it that that uh That white building in the corner if you look at it the where the arrow on the left is pointing That is the rumor of where the fire started apparently somewhere how there was some issue with the water pump for the rapids and Like the electrical some because one of the god knows what's happened, but water was like squatting something and uh I apparently like it apparently is an electrical fire apparently and they couldn't get to it in time for it to be put out earlier so And of course we all know what happened don't we or Yeah, it's it's it's honestly heartbreaking for This park especially since the mac family they own this park like as we know They just had Well, of course, they just opened an icon um earlier in the week which Which actually knows the like three days before they opened it up and To think to say see them from going from They're all-time high to This devastation happening to their greatest projects It's honestly heartbreaking seeing this happen Yeah, honestly though, they're gonna bounce back and we know Like there's not enough in the park that was destroyed for them to like take it as an entire loss Yeah, and they're they're still open They're they're open this weekend as well That just shows that they're committed to staying strong Yeah, yeah, excuse me for having no idea for how the park works with their paths or whatever, but how do people get from Or to blue fire and woden from there. Um, you see where a land to cause super flush is that all you are Yeah that way around there so they can still get to that area.  That's the thing. It could have been worse If the firefighters hadn't put out the blaze A lot more damage could have been done But with their help this has been prevented So like like again, thank you to those firefighters who managed to put out the blaze before it got too bad Like We honestly got to give them credit. We've got to give them credit.  We god knows what happened to that I'm pretty sure the wood on woden is treated to not burn But It's still wood. It's yeah, it's gonna burn. Yeah, if it burns through that upper layer that's gone Hey, jake Anything else to say about this? Yeah Like the mac family have confirmed that well piratens gone norway's gone scan navy is gone Um, but they did open up at 9 a.m. This morning, which i'm really like like I'm actually proud of that because they bounce back so much They bounce back so quickly that they managed to get themselves back up after even after this It's really really good. Really good. I would assume that they would have been closed another day to like recover No, I am surprised that they were open today as well because Does anyone know what rides were open today? um I'm curious Maybe maybe rides in there the area would have been closed.  Maybe three five might have been closed I can't read comments anymore Oh, wait, what are you doing? What's going on? I don't think they're just like actually funny. I hope this happens to vortex at carolins That's a bit brutal I've never ridden that so i'm not going to judge it yet Yeah Next slide yes, please Oh, we're here already So last year They had announced that one of my favorite rides at la ronde was closing Literally at the beginning of the season it had done test run commissioning ride was cleared to open And our log flume was shut down for operation three days after the park opened Because usually we don't have it available at the beginning of the season And so the picture on the right is a picture I took of it last year And I have other pictures which I didn't put in here of the water running for some reason They turned on the water as like morning routine or whatever And then when I got to the park yesterday I walked in took a left turn to go to vampire and as I looked over I see nothing They have completely leveled the ride with the exception of the first lift hill And Parts of the station are still there. That's about it It's a really pretty log flume. I didn't realize it was this pretty It was Me talking about your mom I'm pretty sure that's not appropriate for your streams, brendon. Um, it's a mom joke calm down And I was so pretty it's a compliment.  It was an air log flume. It opened with the park in 67 it was Rather high capacity. We always had at least seven both running of 20 If not more impressive So the that thing would funnel through crowds all the time I've been there once on a day where I walked onto it and that's about it. It always had a line regardless of the day And so excited to close it Yeah, so on that topic why is the fun closing attractions left right and center and putting in fair style attractions I will say I went into that I I did ride our new ride for this year I was impressed if it was at a carnival Yeah Yeah, like low ron almost seems to be itself Yeah He also prefers that one ride over gang three No, actually I do because the area they would have used for it would have taken up space for something else assuming they get something But I'll get to that later The picture on the bottom. I don't know why it's so small because you can barely see Because that's the area where cobra was It's literally footers and on the right side of the picture You can't quite see at all but there's slc train sitting there from binder racer at new england I'm surprised those are still there because those were literally under the ride as it came down May avoid life I guess we can go to does anyone have anything else to say about this poor little park low ron I mean Considering on all that they're doing Could it be possible that they could be saving up or Possibly in the next couple of years could they possibly be getting an rmc raptor? That would actually fit where this ride was uh Brendan would beg to differ i'm sure No, I mean obviously it fit where cobra was too. Yeah, well like this area I'll get some better pictures of it next time I go and I'll I'll Send you guys some stuff on discord, but the area fits a free spin really well Yeah, and it also Will also code blast is the cobra site in the log flume site near each other No, well kind of so cobra is right next to where vampire is I should have actually gotten you guys a google earth shot of it, but The picture there i'm standing on the flash pass entrance to vampire All right, and so like so So if they removed a ride or two could that possibly mean like They would have space for something bigger than a raptor something bigger than a free fly or a free spin Yeah, okay, so space, but it's not gonna happen Right I mean maybe in a few years we might see something happen who knows I think they're gonna get if they're gonna get anything.  I think Oh my god, can I stop you because i'm embarrassed that we have this in here So I you said to put it in there Brendan I was driving in the car when you guys talked about this picture. That is a kid wearing an rmc shirt I told you He could be an employee I'm so embarrassed right now.  So who wants to do this? Yes Someone can go first because I have a lot to say about the king's eyes, but i'm gonna make a video Whose face is better anthony's or the kids? The kids wins But but but he doesn't look quite old. He does look a bit older.  You can buy one. I believe So we're not gonna talk about that. That's not an rmc guy Yeah, so that's that's why i'm thinking It's it's just someone wearing the arm c-shirt. It's yeah, okay. That's that's not there Rmc question mark No, so what do you guys think because I I have a big thing to say about this No, I don't think it's gonna happen All right, it comes down to historic roller coasters Yeah Very close to Especially grand national eraser But I think anyone think Kid in blue when you get homework on the fray Yeah, but this rmc can use that yet. We don't know They said they're ready to go at iapa. They said they were and they said they could also be made into gigas Uh during an interview with allen schilke uh coaster force Interviewed allen schilke during the real uh that nut real pleasure. We're on media day self still vengeance media day No, that's your attention Wonder woman, yeah Because I can't get through this stream with it on So, uh, okay, I want to talk about this so for anyone here. That's a king's island fan boy or fan girl or fan person um shoot I am going to be making a really big video about this because I have a lot of thoughts and opinions about this and I think That um king's island may not be getting a bnm giga I think king's island may be one of the first parks to potentially see a t-rex giga Be there a second back But also I want to point out one thing that whenever you see something like this So you see an official at a park it could be for an attraction that is still three to five years out They could still be in the planning phase. So remember attractions are planned so far out At sometimes when you see these things it's not for the next year. It's not for 2020 or even 2021 It's for like future. I'm going to say about that because I'm going to make a whole video about this, but what do you guys think? That's not an appropriate name When you realize your your home park gets a snoopy experience Wait, wait, why do the trains say pleasure beach on them? I'm still confused Because Oh, that's where the kid is that's where the uh rmc official All right, let's go to the next slide. Oh, okay. Okay. Oh So I guess we're in the question phase so does anyone have any questions comments or concerns Hey, what's this new website we have? What's that? Well, it's still under development So but we have launched it um, so if you want to Insiders.com we are testing things out figuring what works what doesn't work. Please give us advice If thoughts your opinions We know the forum is garbage So we're gonna work on another forum To put in place But we also do strongly believe that discord is the future of forums and that form Becoming like Brian convinced all of you to go into our discord it is very active I might do pride myself on thinking that we kind of have some of the most active forums.
